Heart/Homeless
Exhibition Dates: 5th April - 18th May 2019
The Art of Manal Deeb
Exhibition Launch and meet the artist: Thursday, 4th April 2019, 18:30 - 21:00
Curated by: Dagmar Painter
Artist: Manal Deeb
In her first solo exhibition in London, Heart/Homeless, Manal Deeb expands upon the themes of exile and identity that have infused her art practice from the beginning. Following in the footsteps of three seminal Palestinian women artists, from the early 1900s to the present, (Zulfa al-Sa'di , Juliana Seraphim and Mona Hatoum), Deeb treads new pathways by using her body, and most often her face as a template for artwork expressing the anguish of exile, the historical continuum of the feminine presence in that anguish, and the power of the female psyche in overcoming these obstacles.
In Hidden she superimposes symbolic Arabic calligraphic forms over a tranquil image of her face. Using only abstractions of letters that do not form words, and enveloping them as a veil over the face, she creates a mystery of unspoken thoughts, while exposing the hidden strength she finds in the feminine and in her culture. This image is part of a series exploring the perceptions and misperceptions of Palestinian women, whose identities are overlaid with societal expectations and obstacles.
In New Palestine, she ventures into digital art, her arm raised in salute to the hope of a new world for Palestine, but also interpreted as a survivor rising from a sea of disappointments.
Deeb is a Palestinian-American artist born in Ramallah, Palestine. She lives in Fairfax, Virginia. Her education in both Studio Arts at the University of Illinois, Chicago and in the Psychology of Art at George Mason University support her artistic explorations of the psyche of the Arab female in exile.
Deeb has exhibited extensively in the United States and abroad, including New York, Washington DC, Chicago, Dallas, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, London, Paris, Rome, Jerusalem, Delhi, Cairo, Amman, Doha, Islamabad and Malaga.
A full biography is available on her website www.ygalleri.com
Dagmar Painter is an independent curator with exhibitions in Europe and the Middle East, who also curates full time at Gallery Al-Quds in Washington DC. Her work has been profiled in the Washington Post. https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/museums/through-art-creating-a-dialogue-between-palestinians-and-others/2014/09/25/129cdb6e-3271-11e4-9f4d-24103cb8b742_story.html

One of my favorite things to do when traveling is to go into grocery stores, walk down the aisles, and see the differences (or similarities) in food types and brand.
Not a fan of canned meat, so will not be trying this one. Sorry, Denmark.
Perhaps this is normal… but I've just, I've just never seen this.
Know any other UK foods that seem "odd" to Americans? Post in the comments.

Cantloe History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The Anglo-Norman Conquest of Ireland lead by Strongbow introduced the first non-Gaelic elements into Irish nomenclature. These Anglo-Normans brought some traditions to Ireland that were not readily found within Gaelic system of hereditary surnames. One of the best examples of this is the local surname. Local surnames, such as Cantloe, were taken from the name of a place or a geographical feature where the person lived, held land, or was born. These surnames were very common in England, but were almost non-existent within Ireland previous to the conquest. The earliest surnames of this type came from Normandy, but as the Normans moved, they often created names in reference to where they actually resided. Therefore, some settlers eventually took names from Irish places. Originally, these place names were prefixed by de, which means from in French. This type of prefix was eventually either made a part of the surname, if the place name began with a vowel, or was eliminated entirely. The Cantloe family originally lived in the place called Cauntelo in Northern France. Early medieval deeds record the surname Cantloe as de Cantelupo, the Latin equivalent of the Norman name de Cauntelo. Before their migration to Ireland, the Cantloe family spent a long period in England. The shrine of St. Thomas de Cantelupe, who was the last English saint canonized prior to the Reformation, is in Hereford Cathedral.
Early Origins of the Cantloe family
The surname Cantloe was first found in County Kerry (Irish:Ciarraí) part of the former County Desmond (14th-17th centuries), located in Southwestern Ireland, in Munster province, where they held a family seat at Ballyheige where they had been granted lands after the Norman invasion in 1172 by Strongbow.
As one would expect, not all of the family moved to Ireland. Bingley in the West Riding of Yorkshire was an ancient family seat. "This place is one of the thirty two lordships granted by the Conqueror to Erneis de Berun, from whose descendants it was conveyed to the Paganells and the Gants, and afterwards to the Cantilupe family." [1]
On the infamous side, Fulk de Cantelo, Canteleo, Cantelupe, Cantilupe (fl. 1209), "is mentioned by Wendover as one of John's evil counsellors. After the election of Stephen Langton as archbishop he was sent by John to expel the Canterbury monks, and the lands of the see were put under his charge." [2]
Roger de Cantelupe (fl. 1248), legist, son of Roger de Cantelupe, was hanged for treason in 1225. [2]
George de Cantelupe (d. 1273), was son of William, the third Baron Cantelupe (d. 1254), is styled Baron of Bergavenny. He was knighted by Henry III in 1272, on the occasion of the marriage of Edmund of Cornwall. He was put into possession of his lands on 23 April 1273, but died the following November. His sister Joanna married Henry of Hastings. [2]
Early History of the Cantloe family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Cantloe research. Another 86 words (6 lines of text) covering the years 1275, 1299, 1680 and 1734 are included under the topic Early Cantloe History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Cantloe Spelling Variations
Names were simply spelled as they sounded by medieval scribes and church officials. Therefore, during the lifetime of a single person, his name was often spelt in many different ways, explaining the many spelling variations encountered while researching the name Cantloe. Some of these variations included: Cantillon, Cantilon, Cantlin, Cantilupe, Cantlowe, Cantelowe, Cantell, Cantillion, Cantlon, Cantlow and many more.
Early Notables of the Cantloe family (pre 1700)
Another 49 words (4 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Cantloe Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Cantloe family
The Irish emigration during the late 18th and 19th century contributed to the melting pot of nationalities in North America, and the building of a whole new era of industry and commerce in what was seen as a rich, new land. Ireland'sGreat Potato Famine resulted in the worst economic and social conditions in the island's history. And in response to the hunger, disease, and poverty, during this decade the total number of emigrants to leave for North America rivaled all the previous years combined. Those from this decade that arrived on North American shores were not warmly welcomed by the established population, but they were vital to the rapid development of the industry, agriculture, and infrastructure of the infant nations of the United States and what would become Canada. Research into early immigration and passenger lists has shown many people bearing the name Cantloe: Thomas, Mary, John, and Bridget, all arrived in New York State in 1849; all by the name of Cantillion; Richard Cantlon arrived in 1855; Patrick Cantlin arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1857..

The Compassionate Contrarians: A History of Vegetarians in Aotearoa New Zealand
Catherine Amey
Rebel Press, $20.00,
IBSN 9780473274405
New Zealanders are prolific buyers of cookery books; however, an interest in the social history of eating and cooking has emerged in the last 10 years, with several academic studies now being published not only for research but also for general reading.
Catherine Amey's The Compassionate Contrarians: A History of Vegetarians In Aotearoa New Zealand spans two centuries – from the vegetarian diet of the East Coast Māori tribe Te Tai Rāwhiti to the present day urban food markets and stalls – of vegetarians, vegetarianism and animal rights in New Zealand. Amey's use of colonial diaries, newspaper reports, archival photographs and ephemera engage the reader with tales of ordinary, as well as well known, New Zealanders, such as suffragette leader Kate Sheppard, and Adventist, doctor and parliamentarian Sir Maui Pomare. Some choose not to include meat eating in their diet due to health, spirituality, purity, animal rights or environmental concerns. As Amey points out, the rejection of meat in the colonial diet in a colony that was to become prosperous through the exportation of meat and milk products was seen not only as unpatriotic, but also as unchristian and impractical.
Early chapters explore those who first spoke out against the slaughter of animals for consumption, or advocated for healthier, plant-based diets. Included are the Adventists (founders of the Sanitarium Health Food Company), the Theosophists, the suffragettes, the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, and the purists who were appalled by slaughterhouse conditions and thought that animal production itself was unhealthy and disease ridden. The Theosophists were accused of promoting a queer and unreasonable fad, and others were thought of as unconventional, radical, eccentric, puritanical or suffering from spiritual disease.
Amey discusses the plight of vegetarian conscientious objectors in detention – from WWII to the Korean War – by providing an insight into the freethinking Hansen family, their numerous incarcerations in prisons and detention camps, and details the formation, during the late 1920s, of the Hansens' so-called utopian community, Beeville, near Taupiri in the Waikato. A further chapter investigates the 1960-1990 counterculture, when many anti-war protesters, alternative lifestyle seekers, animal rights activists, anti-apartheid supporters, environmentalists and feminists, turned to vegetarianism and made it more visible in New Zealand society. The culmination of this era, perhaps, was the alcohol- and meat-free Nambassa Music Festivals, 1978-1981, attended by thousands.
Stepping through the 1940s, Amey introduces Theosophist Geoffrey Hodson, the lifelong promoter of vegetarianism, animal rights campaigner and one of the founding members of the New Zealand Vegetarian Society. Hodson, also notable for his anti-fur campaign in the 1950s, was seen as influential up until his retirement in the 1970s. Amey also highlights the difficulties for vegetarian migrants – the early Chinese and, in particular, the influx of Dutch and Indian migrants in the 1950s – in adjusting to the New Zealand diet, heavy in meat and dairy products and laden with sugar. Amey suggests that the establishment of the Hare Krishna community north-west of Auckland in the 1970s and their subsequent opening of temples, food stalls and a vegetarian restaurant in central Auckland increased the popularity of restaurants specialising in Indian cuisine, although she notes that both Indian and Chinese cuisine suffered from westernisation and their growth was slow.
Amey's final chapter summarises the years 1980-2000: the increased awareness of and subsequent backlashes against intensive pig and battery-hen farming, the influence of environmental movements, the New Zealand Anti-vivisection Society, and the increased use of media by organisations such as SAFE (Save Animals From Exploitation) to both educate urban New Zealanders and successfully pressure government agencies and producers.
Amey set out to identify those who spoke out for vegetarianism over two centuries. She presents an account of often outspoken and idealist New Zealanders who were prepared to be incarcerated, ridiculed and scorned for their beliefs. Although she is clearly an advocate for vegetarianism and acknowledges in her foreword her allegiances to the New Zealand Anti-vivisection Society and the Wellington Peace and Environmental Centre, her account is balanced, meticulously researched and referenced, as well as being written in an easy narrative style.
Alison McKee has an MA in gastronomy from the University of Adelaide.

All studies involving human participation require ethics approval. The route by which approval is granted will depend on your status as a researcher (staff, student) and also on the nature of the proposed research. The principal application methods are described below.
The DR@W ethics umbrella is a delegated ethics agreement (approved by HSSREC for five years, to May 2018). It allows a registered group of researchers (the DR@W community) to obtain expedited approval for a range of common decision making paradigms undertaken in any of the DR@W affiliated laboratories. Applications are submitted electronically. Only academic faculty and research staff who are affiliated with DR@W and who are members of the approved list of researchers are eligible to apply via this route. PhD student research may not be approved via DR@W. If your proposed research falls within the scope of the DR@W agreement and you would like to be added to the researcher list, please contact the DR@W Coordinator.
For researchers who not members of the DR@W researcher list, or whose proposed research falls outside the DR@W Umbrella criteria, it is necessary to apply directly to the HSSREC. For full instructions and guidance notes, please refer to the HSSREC Application Page.
The approval route for PhD research differs between departments. WBS Behavioural Science students should submit applications via the Doctoral Program Office (DPO). Enquiries may be directed to the DPO's Nominated Ethics Representative or to the Behavioural Science Group Laboratory Manager. Students in the Departments of Economics and Psychology should contact their supervisor regarding local ethics arrangements.
Approval for MSc BES research is granted by the departmental ethics committees of the host departments. WBS Behavioural Science students should make applications via their supervisor.

On 13 June 2018, a public consultation was issued by the FRC on the draft Principles of the Coalition Group led by James Wates CBE on corporate governance for large private companies. The consultation will close on 7 September 2018 and the final Principles and guidance will be published in December 2018. As the Professional Body for non-executive directors and board members in the UK, NEDonBoard will contribute to the consultation. Our community is most welcome is sending out their views, which we will compile and send on behalf of NEDonBoard. Please e-mail [email protected].
Private companies are the most common type of corporate structure in the UK, accounting for over 96% of all companies according to Companies House. They form the backbone of the British economy. As such corporate failures or problems at large private companies have repercussions on staff, pensioners, customers, suppliers and third-party vendors. Like any public company. This is why corporate governance at private companies is as important and deserves a code or set of principles and guidance of its own.
The FRC has opened the consultation over the Principles and stated that compliance will satisfy the new regulatory reporting requirements of the Companies (Miscellaneous Reporting) Regulations 2018.
The consultation questions can be found on page 16 of the consultation document.
As a reminder, we sent our response to the FRC on its consultation over the UK Corporate Governance Code, which is due to be published in the coming weeks. You can read our response here as well as the extent to which it differs from other contributors.
We look forward to hearing from you in the coming months.

Cap Anamur supports the poorest with food parcels
The economic and political situation in Lebanon has become increasingly catastrophic over the last years. With the rising economic crisis, the ramifications of the Corona pandemic and ultimately since the Beirut explosion, circumstances are aggravating even more. The ones suffering are the population's poorest and the 1.2 million Syrian refugees who fight for their life on a daily basis.
Since 2016, Cap Anamur is taking an active part in refugee settlements surrounding Sidon, Lebanon. Our work includes ensuring medical treatment for refugee families with a mobile clinic, because the daily struggle to survive leaves the people with no means for medical interventions, which usually entail costs.
After the outbreak of the Corona pandemic, the conditions under which Syrian refugees live have gotten worse. The possibility of earning money as a day-laborer vanished after stay-at-home orders were enacted. Groceries are unaffordable due to the economic crisis, drugs are scarce goods – the state of supply for poor people is a catastrophe.
Corona measures in our project
Our work is also influenced immensely by the Corona pandemic. In 2020, we had to shut down our mobile clinic entirely for a short period of time during lockdown. In order to adhere to the hygiene measures surrounding the pandemic, we had to lower the maximum number of patients we can provide medical care for on each day to 50. Our patients receive face masks and hand disinfectant when they leave the mobile clinic, so they can protect themselves against the virus.
Food parcels for the poorest families
Right now we are further supporting the poorest families that we treat in our mobile clinic with food parcels. Most of the people that receive our help are single mothers, widows or orphans. A food parcel contains oil, sugar, rice, pasta, salt, tomato sauce and bulgur, sometimes candy for the children.
6€ provide a family with food for an entire week and prevent the worst hunger.
You too can help to fight the hunger of Syrian refugees.
By donating 24€, you can support a Syrian refugee family and enable their supply of food staples for one month.
Again fierce fighting between rebel groups and government soldiers.

Bentlee Martinez is baking her way into hearts all over, and she's doing it one cupcake at a time.
The nine-year-old Idaho girl was on vacation when she met a homeless family. Her mom Stephanie told Radio.com that it changed her life.
"She started out doing this to make money to take our family on a trip to Florida," says Stephanie. "Then we met a homeless family and it changed her forever. She wants to be able to change their lives for the better and she hopes that she can help as many people as possible."
Since then, Bentlee has been baking up a storm to help make money for the homeless in her town, and has already raised over $2,000.
With the money, she makes care packs to hand out to those in need -- with each pack filled with love, just like her cupcakes that her customers can't seem to get enough of!
Though Bentlee isn't sure if she wants to be a baker when she's older, she's already made quite a name for herself.
Whatever this caring kid chooses to do with her life, we know it's going to be something really special -- and super sweet!

Forthcoming book--2020, Dalkey Archive Press--is Similarly, four poetry volumes and a selection of new poems. Most recent books are Ohio Railroads (2014, a long poem in the form of an essay, including maps), Border Towns (2016, essays having to do wth poetry) and Overlapping Apexes (2017, a long poem). Earlier books include Prairie Style (2008), Into and Out of Dislocation (2000), Giscome Road (1998), etc. Poetry and prose reprinted in Best American Poetry, Oxford Anthology of African American Poetry, Norton Anthology of Postmodern American Poetry, Bluesprint: Black British Columbia Literature and Orature, and elsewhere.
Poetry books in progress, as of August 2019, are "Negro Mountain" and "Train Music."
Negro Mountain (named for an 18th century "incident") is a ridge in the Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania; its summit is the highest point in the state. The nature of the "Negro Mountain" book project is investigatory; thematic sites of the book—a single poem arranged into several sections—include responses to both the "natural world" (notably the relation between predators and prey) and the languages of race and historical conquest. In the book's poetry sequences readers are asked to consider "location" as a practice for composition and as a strategy for reading itself as the writing traces the contours—psychical, physical, political—of the named mountain.
The "Train Music" project is a collaboration with the painter and collagist Judith Margolis. The book is an account of the cross-country train trip (New York to Emeryville) we made together in 2017 and an inquiry into the social spaces of white supremacy.

Home » MAA Publications » MAA Reviews » Why Prove it Again?
This is an erudite and historical look at several famous theorems for which multiple proofs are known. Most of the book is devoted to case studies that examine and compare several proofs for each theorem, with one chapter per theorem. Usually complete proofs are given and analyzed here, although in a few cases a detailed sketch is given instead. As you would expect, the theorems with the greatest variety of proofs are also the oldest, and so the results shown are slanted heavily towards geometry, theory of equations, and number theory.
The last chapter gives briefer coverage of several more theorems, and even briefer coverage of some theorems that the author thinks deserve further investigation. The book begins with some informal remarks about two general questions: (1) The title question: mathematicians have produced and studied multiple proofs for the same theorem even since antiquity, but why? (2) How do you tell if two proofs are different enough to count as different proofs?
The book doesn't attempt a definitive answer to either question; the author intends rather to start a discussion about them. A lot of the answer to (1) seems to be taste: some proofs are more pleasing than others, and we may seek new proofs if the existing ones are dissatisfying. The book discusses in particular the motive of making proofs more "perspicuous," meaning that they are clearer and give more insight into why the result is true, not merely convincing us that it is true. For example, most proofs by induction are not perspicuous.
Question (2) seems not well understood. Part of the difficulty is that different proofs often prove different things: the same conclusion with a weaker hypothesis, a stronger conclusion from the same hypothesis, a generalization, or a useful special case that has a neat proof. There are extreme examples with a ridiculously large number of proofs, for which (it seems to me) it would be impossible to determine exactly how many proofs there are. Two sources cited in this book are a book that lists 52 proofs of the arithmetic mean–geometric mean inequality (p. 195) and a book that lists 196 proofs of the quadratic reciprocity theorem in number theory (p. 197). Are they really all different?
Bottom line: an interesting book to browse or study, just for the variety of techniques, even if you are not interested in the philosophical and methodological questions that inspired it. Another good book to browse is Aigner & Ziegler's Proofs from The Book, which also presents multiple proofs of many results, even though its stated purpose is to present the "best" proof of the result.

To see how well a company is doing with managing their long term assets you just need to know where to look. Some places you can find this is in the reported total assets, net income, and cash flows that are related to the investing activities of a business. An idea of how a company is utilizing long term assets can be found in their financial statements. A company that is particular good at this just happens to be one of the largest food companies and goes by the name of H.J Heinz or that famous ketchup company. It has close to 66 percent of its total assets are classified as long term assets. The income statement comes in handy because it displays depreciation of assets over time, and Heinz has had about 299 million dollars worth of depreciated expenses. Long term assets are constantly looked at to see if some of the assets have loss some of its value which will result in what is known as asset impairment. Getting rid of long term assets could show an increase or decrease on the income statement, it just depends on the situation. So, long term assets are classified as assets that have a relatively long life, usually of at least one year. Second, they are used for the operation of a business, and third, they are not usually resold. In the pass years long term assets were usually referred as fixed assets, but this statement is not correct today because fixed usually apply to something that lasts forever. There is no really set in stone rule to classify a long term asset, but they are usually thought of to last for at least one year with repetitive use. Assets that are not normally used in the everyday operations of a business should not be included in this category, and assets that are available for resale should be called inventory. Also, assets are different from current assets because they are expected to aid a business for longer periods of time, and are used in the day to day operating cycle of an entity. A very important part of long term assets are its carrying value, or the part of the price of an asset that hasn't expired yet. It is also known as the book value of an asset. If a long term asset just happens to lose part or all of its money producing potential before the end of its self life than the carrying value is reduced. Asset impairment occurs when the cash flow of the asset ends up being less then the carrying value. When the carrying value is reduced then it is counted as a loss. Long term assets can be further broken down into three distinct items. They are tangible assets, natural resources, and intangible assets. A tangible asset is a type of long term asset that is physical like land, buildings, and equipment. Natural resources are a type of long term assets that is exchanged for economic value and can be obtained from the land, like gas, gold, and ore. Last a intangible asset is an type of long term asset that doesn't have any physical worth but have a value based on the rights that is granted to the owner. An example of this is copyright, patent, and trademarks. The way that tangible assets loses value is through depreciation, the way that natural resources lose value is through depletion, and the way that intangible assets loses value is through amortization. Picking long term assets are a very concrete and intricate process. Before choosing a long term asset the management must decide how they will finance an asset one they have it. Companies that generate enough profit can pay for long term assets from the cash flow of their day to day operations. It's very similar to how an individual pays for the loan of a car or the loan on mortgage. When companies want issue a long term acquisition then they must do this through capital stock, bonds, or long term notes. A nice place to analyze a company's long term financing is through the financing activities in the statement of cash flow. When you're dealing with long term assets you must make sure that you're using the matching rule appropriately. The first thing you should do is find the total expense in the current accounting period. Second, you should see how much money is retained from the on the balance sheet to see if the asset will be beneficial in the future. To solve these dilemmas there should be four important questions that you ask yourself. First, how is the value of the long term asset determined, Second, how much the depreciated value of the long term asset should be allocated against the revenues in the long run. Third, how much money on expenditures such as repairs is use, Last, how would the disposal of the long term asset is recorded in the financial records, Because long term assets are very confusing, they have many alternatives to manage them. It's best to think of long term assets as something that will provide a particular need or operation over the years. For example, you shouldn't think of a truck on how long it will run, but on how many miles it will drive. Another example is how much paper a photocopier machine will copy, and how many people a hotel will shelter. It's also important to determine if a business will have the money to finance the asset in the future. Expenditure is known as the payment or a promise to make a payment in the future for an asset such as for a payment of a service or for a new laser printer you purchased for your business. There are two types of expenditures, and they are capital expenditures and revenue expenditures. A capital expenditure refers to the expenditure of a long term asset like land for example. Revenue expenditure refers to the expenditure for something related to repair or maintenance such as the repair of a bull dozer for a construction company.

By Kaitlyn B. and Carlin H.
They rely on their go-to coffee order to get them through the days of their lives. But have you ever wondered about how this chain really makes their coffee?
Because they're a chain, you may think that every location makes their coffee exactly the same, but that is simply not the case.
Here in Duxbury, there are three main locations people travel to get their coffee: Hall's Corner, Cox Corner, and the one in Kingston at Cranberry Crossing.
We tried them all, and here's what we found.
While Hall's is a go-to, we learned it's not necessarily the best.
Yes, it may be the most convenient, as it is close to the school, but we found Kaitlyn's coffee to be far too sweet- she couldn't even finish it, and Carlin's to be much too bitter compared to the other locations.
Plus, while it sounds snobby, you need to ask for your hot cups, they don't just give them to you.
Complaints aside, the location is extremely clean. There were barely any straw wrappers on the counter, and the staff was friendly.
Their munchkins were still slightly warm, as the glaze was practically melting off of them, and the bagel was well toasted.
They were not the most efficient, since the person working the front counter was also making all the drinks ordered, but the service was not overly slow by any stretch of the imagination.
Overall, if you're in a pinch and need your caffeine fix quickly before school, the Hall's Corner Dunkin is not a bad place to go, just know that if you choose to go there, you'll be joined by about half of Duxbury High School population.
Another common place for students to head to before school is the Dunkin Donuts in Cox Corner. This was the first place we went to, and it was just recently opened.
Unfortunately, this may not be the best option for people in a rush, since there is no drive through like there is in Hall's Corner and Kingston.
This location was pretty clean, though the trash can could have benefitted from being emptied- there were straw wrappers practically spilling over.
But on a lighter note, this Dunkin was unquestionably the fastest. We both practically got our coffees the moment we were done placing our order.
Sadly though, there were no Holiday cups at this location, which we know everyone looks forward to during the holiday season.
The moment we got there, there was nobody at the counter, but as soon as they saw us they rushed over to take our orders. The two girls working were very attentive to the customers.
But most importantly, how was our coffee and food? The coffees were definitely made very well, just how we each would have wanted. At first they were very sweet, but once everything settled, they were perfect.
Besides our drinks, the food was good, but compared to others it wasn't the best. Both the bagel and munchkins were extremely chewy, it was even possible they might have been a bit stale.
We found, overall, that if you're looking for some good coffee, Cox is easily the best, but the food could be better. Though this location lacked a drive through, the speed our orders came out made up for it.
The final location we visited was the Dunkin Donuts located near Cranberry Crossing, inside the gas station.
Here, the people were very nice, even complimenting our clothes. They greeted us the moment we walked in the door, and were right away asking us what we'd like.
Though the people here were the kindest compared to the staff at the other locations, there were a few issues with our orders.
Firstly, both of our coffees were much more bitter than the ones we had earlier. Kaitlyn's wasn't too bad, but we couldn't even tell if there was any almond milk in Carlin's drink.
Another issue we found was the amount of ice in our cups. The coffee-to-ice ratio was very disappointing. There was way too much. And though there is the simple fix, ask for half the ice, a lot of people wouldn't think to do that.
Besides the mediocre coffee, the food was pretty good.
The munchkins were soft and airy, and less chewy compared to the other locations. The glaze was a bit uneven, but there was still a good amount on each one.
The bagel was toasted well, being perfectly golden brown around the edges. The first bites were very soft, and it definitely stayed warm for the amount of time it took to eat.
The aspect of cleanliness was definitely there, and we wouldn't say it was too messy, but it was nowhere as clean as the other two. I guess that's what you get going to a gas station.
There were some straw wrappers littering the ground, and the trash can could have used an emptying, but the counters and table were fairly clean.
Also, the timeliness of this establishment was very impressive. There were plenty of workers doing different jobs, so we went in and out probably within 2 minutes.
Overall, though this Dunkin isn't as close as the others, it definitely would be a great choice if you're looking to get your order in a timely manner, without too many crowds of Duxbury students. For those days when you're in a rush, across the way there is also an express building, making strictly coffees in a faster way than the larger location.
When you're waking up and craving a tasty, inexpensive coffee before school, Cox Corner is your best bet. It's the closest to Duxbury High School, and it definitely isn't too crowded on those horrific weekday mornings where you roll out of bed looking like a zombie, before finally getting your A.M. caffeine fix.

Ang Soon Tong () is a secret society based in Singapore and Malaysia. According to a former police officer, the society was active as early as the 1950s, mainly in the Sembawang area. In 1998, a 19-year-old youth was arrested for setting up a website dedicated to the society.

As recently as 2020, Ang Soon Tong is still active, with one of its members sentenced to reformative probation that year for clashing with members of another secret society.

The gang gain profits through illegal activities such as smuggling and trading of gun and drugs, illegal moneylending and illegal gambling.

Notable members

Tan Chor Jin
Tan Chor Jin, nick named One-eye dragon, was a member of Ang Soon Tong. He is known for shooting a nightclub owner, Lim Hock Soon, to death with a Beretta Pistol inside Lim's flat at Serangoon, Singapore. After the shoot out, Tan fled to Malaysia and attempted to travel to Chiang Mai at Thailand, to escape justice. Tan was arrested by Royal Malaysia Police at a Hotel in Kuala Lumpur and was sentenced to death by Singapore's High Court in year 2007. He was hanged at dawn on 9 January 2009.

Incident

Gang fight over funeral banner
In December 1995, the Ang Soon Tong gang clashes with the See Tong gang over a funeral banner. The gang members were arrested and charged with imprisonment.

Leong Fook Weng murder incident
Leong Fook Weng, a former Ang Soon Tong gang member went on to quit Ang Soon Tong and joined the Loh Kuan secret society. See Chee Keong and four other gang members decided to punish Leong for quitting the gang and assaulted Leong Fook Weng 4 times in total on 17 May 2000 in Singapore. One of the attacks was at the Upper Boon Keng Road. Another attack happened later at a petrol station near Tanjong Katong Road. The last attack on Leong happened between 4.30 a.m. to 6.30 a.m. at the vacant land. During the attack, See Chee Keong stabbed Leong's heart and neck with a 5 cm long blade hidden in a lighter, which resulted in Leong's death. A few hours later, Leong's body was discovered only in his underwear. See Chee Keong fled to Thailand on 18 May 2000, a day after the assault on Leong. In December 2000, See was arrested at Phnom Penh International Airport in Cambodia while attempting to smuggle illegal drugs to Kuala Lumpur. See was charged in Cambodia court and sentenced to 18 years of imprisonment for drug trafficking. After serving sentence in prison for 13 years, See received a royal pardon and was released on 26 November 2013 and was deported to Singapore.

On 20 April 2016, three Ang Soon Tong gang members involved in the murdering incident, See Chee Keong, Robson Tay Teik Chai, and William Ho Kah Wei were charged in Singapore court and sentenced to imprisonment and caning for murdering Leong Fook Weng. The two other fugitives, Ong Chin Huat, and Lim Hin Teck were still on the run at that time.

Gang member harasses Yishun resident
An Ang Soon Tong gang member, known as Tiger Boy, ransomed $100 Singapore Dollars from Julius Chen, a resident living at Yishun Singapore, because Tiger Boy "dislike Chen's face". Chen later saw Tiger Boy again at a coffee shop at Block 414 on 30 March 2019. Chen attempt to take back his $100 and confronted Tiger Boy. Tiger Boy respond by claiming that he is Ang Soon Tong gang member and made a phone call for backup, six Indian men later arrived at coffee shop. One of the Indian man called Chen crazy and threatened to punch Chen when he called the police. The police later arrived and separated Chen and the gang, and give a warning to the gang.

Extortion and assault in Klang, Malaysia 2015
Ang Soon Tong attempted to control areas in Klang, a city in Malaysia, by sending gang members with parangs and katanas to assault 2 gardening contractors who refused to pay for the gang's extortion at a construction site in Pulau Indah on 4 September 2015. The 2 gardening contractors were fatally injured and hospitalized. The Royal Malaysia Police later arrested 12 Ang Soon Tong gang members and issued a wanted notice to search for the local gang leader.

Bony Skates: The earliest ice skates on record date back almost 4,000 years to the Bronze Age. Crafted chiefly from horse or cow bones (i.e., ribs, thighs) this ancient footgear was tied to a skater's shoes or boots and used to traverse the frozen waters of northern and central Europe. Bony and bladeless, the art of ancient skating was a tricky endeavor. Skates could slide in all directions (think hockey pucks but tied to your feet), so early skaters used a pole for balance and navigation. Click on this Bone Skate Demonstration video clip for a look-see, courtesy of Miika Vanhapiha and YouTube.
Fun Skating Fact #1: Marie-Antoinette, Napoléon Bonaparte, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and several British monarchs were avid skaters.
Iron Skates: During the Middle Ages the ice skate was upgraded from bone to blade. A clever craftsperson attached an iron blade to a wooden slat, and like its forefather the bone skate, it was tied to a skater's footwear and used to glide across frozen waterways. The new-fangled iron blades added balance and some measure of control, allowing skaters to toss away their poles.
Fun Ice Skating Fact #2: The first artificial ice rink opened in London in June 1844. The Glaciarium was lauded as picturesque but smelly. The rink was made of pig fat and salts since the technology to keep large quantities of ice had not yet been invented.
Curlicue Skates: Curl-tipped skates (think elf or court jester shoes) made their debut in the 15th century. Researchers have speculated these curlicues may have been added to prevent skaters from getting their blades wedged into things such as the ice, embankments, their fellow skaters or themselves. The whimsical swirl may have also been a fashion statement.
Fun Ice Skating Fact #3: The Elfstedentocht (aka Eleven Cities Tour) takes place each year in the Dutch province of Friesland. Starting at dawn 15,000+ skaters take to the ice. The 200 km (~124 miles) roundtrip race runs through 11 cities and takes the speediest skaters approximately 7 chilling hours to complete.
Steely Skates: In the mid-1800s, E. W. Bushnell of Philadelphia created the all-steel skate, a vast improvement over the clumsy wooden versions worn for centuries. During the 1900s, skates became more specialized. A toepick was added to figure skates, enhancing flair and jaw-dropping jumps. Lengthy blades and shorter boots have given speed skaters more zip, while stiff boots and rounded blades protect and support a hockey player's hustle. Today our ice skates are hi-tech and flashy, a far cry from those ancient bones of long ago. Click on this MonkeySee video clip to watch former Olympic figure skater, Michael Weiss perform the tricky single, double and triple lutz.
Fun Ice Skating Fact #4: The Lutz jump was named after Austrian figure skater, Alois Lutz who debuted his breathtaking jump in 1913.
That wraps up our brief look at the history of ice skates. Next week we'll be getting into the Christmas spirit with a look at Santas from around the world. In the meantime, have a great week!

In graph theory, an acyclic coloring is a (proper) vertex coloring in which every 2-chromatic subgraph is acyclic. The acyclic chromatic number  of a graph  is the fewest colors needed in any acyclic coloring of .

Acyclic coloring is often associated with graphs embedded on non-plane surfaces.

Upper bounds
A(G) ≤ 2 if and only if G is acyclic.

Bounds on A(G) in terms of  Δ(G), the maximum degree of G, include the following:
 A(G) ≤ 4 if Δ(G) = 3.
 A(G) ≤ 5 if Δ(G) = 4.
 A(G) ≤ 7 if Δ(G) = 5.
 A(G) ≤ 12 if Δ(G) = 6.

A milestone in the study of acyclic coloring is the following affirmative answer to a conjecture of Grünbaum:

Theorem  A(G) ≤ 5 if G is planar graph.

 introduced acyclic coloring and acyclic chromatic number, and conjectured the result in the above theorem. Borodin's proof involved several years of painstaking inspection of 450 reducible configurations. One consequence of this theorem is that every planar graph can be decomposed into an independent set and two induced forests.

Algorithms and complexity
It is NP-complete to determine whether A(G) ≤ 3.

 showed that the decision variant of the problem is NP-complete even when G is a bipartite graph.

 demonstrated that every proper vertex coloring of a chordal graph is also an acyclic coloring.
Since chordal graphs can be optimally colored in O(n + m) time, the same is also true for acyclic coloring on that class of graphs.

A linear-time algorithm to acyclically color a graph of maximum degree ≤ 3 using 4 colors or fewer was given by .

Adelaide United have announced star-defender Tarek Elrich has agreed to extend his contract until the end of the Hyundai A-League 2017/18 season.
The one year extension to his current contract will see Elrich remain as a Red for a further three seasons, after initially extending his contract in November 2014, which would have seen his deal finish at the end of the Hyundai A-League 2016/17 season.
Elrich stated a major factor in his decision to remain at the Club was the security United has been able to provide him as he pursues more appearances in the Socceroos, but also the happiness he has found through his football in South Australia.
"It feels really good to extend my contract for another year," Elrich said.
"We've been talking about extending my contract for a while now and we wanted to sort it out before Michael (Petrillo) left and he's been a big help in the process.
"I've really been enjoying my time here in Adelaide and I've now been part of the Socceroos squad as well and to have the security of my club football with United leading into a World Cup is massive.
"Now I'll continue to focus on my football and playing my absolute best week-in, week-out, giving myself the best chance of being in contention of that Socceroos squad and helping the team domestically.
Elrich joined the Club in July 2013 ahead of the Hyundai A-League 2013/14 season and has progressed immensely ever since, earning his first Socceroos cap in March 2015. He was also awarded with the Hyundai A-League 2014/15 season's goal of the year with an incredible individual goal against Melbourne City at Coopers Stadium.
Elaborating on why he decided to extend, Elrich said there were numerous reasons, but the most important thing is his progress as a footballer and helping the Club achieve success in the coming seasons.
"There are a few reasons why I've decided to extend and, like I said, I'm loving living in Adelaide and it's a great city to be based while playing football," he explained.
"Also, now that I'm fighting for a place in the national team, I want to stay there. Ange (Postecoglou) has a lot of confidence in selecting players that are playing well in the A-League and I want to continue with that.
"I'm fortunate because I have a great bunch of boys around me, and my partner is now living here too and she's loving life in Adelaide.
"Football is a part of life that you can never predict, but to have my club football secured at a great club that plays great football for the next three seasons is massive and I want to be successful here.
"I'm looking forward to going away with the Socceroos and hopefully getting a spot in the starting XI against Jordan (in Amman).
The Club's Chief Executive Officer, Michael Petrillo, praised United's ability to keep Elrich until 2017/18, but also Elrich himself for his outstanding achievements in a Reds shirt and his continual consistency on the pitch.
"We are delighted that Tarek has agreed to extend his contract," Petrillo said.
"It shows the confidence that a player of Tarek's caliber has in the football programme that we now have in place at the club.
"Tarek has been a great example of a player who has come back from a low point in their career a couple of years back to re-establish himself as the premier full-back in the competition through hard work, perseverance, and determination.
"He's a person with the type of character that everyone in the club looks up to and that exemplifies the attitude of this playing group."
