PARIS — Comptoir des Cotonniers on Tuesday named Anne Valérie Hash its new creative director.
A spokesman for the brand, controlled by Japanese retail giant Fast Retailing Co. Ltd., said the first complete collection under her purview would likely be for the fall 2015 fashion season.
Hash succeeds Amélie Gillier, who left the company in November.
The appointment represents a soft landing for Hash, who earlier this year shuttered her signature label amid challenging economic times for independent fashion companies.
One of French fashion’s smallest but bravest entrepreneurs, Hash launched her label in 2001 and found a niche with her plays on the masculine-feminine dichotomy and such signature silhouettes as jumpsuits and tuxedos. She started out showing during the Paris couture schedule in a bid to stand out from the ready-to-wear fray.
Hash is the latest in a string of new hires at Fast Retailing Co. Ltd., also parent of Uniqlo and Link Theory.
In November, the Japanese firm named Nancy Pedot the new chief executive officer of Comptoir des Cotonniers and Princesse Tam Tam. An American, Pedot was previously president and ceo of children’s wear firm Gymboree and retailer Party City Corp.
And in January, Fast Retailing tapped Lars Nilsson as artistic director in residence for Comptoir des Cotonniers and Princesse Tam Tam, a more global role overseeing the two Paris-based brands. The Swede had previously designed for Bill Blass, Nina Ricci and Gianfranco Ferré.
It is understood Hash reports to Pedot.
Pedot was traveling Tuesday and unavailable for comment, however, she had previously said Nilsson would be “dedicated to accompanying the implementation of a research and development project in terms of creative inspirations, trends, style, silhouettes and fabric.”
Founded in 1995, Comptoir des Cotonniers sits alongside other buzzy French contemporary brands such as The Kooples, Zadig & Voltaire, Sandro and Maje.

DETROIT -- Purchasing executives from both suppliers and automakers endorsed the benefits of closer collaboration and cooperation during a purchasing panel at the Automotive News World Congress today.
Nissan Motor Co. is working to tighten supplier ties through the use of a supplier council that provides feedback on Nissan's purchasing, said Rebecca Vest, vice president of purchasing at the Renault-Nissan Purchasing Organization.
The council was established last year, with representatives from 12 parts makers who offer what she said was sometimes "excruciatingly candid feedback" about areas in need of improvement.
"In 2012, we are going to cross off methodically the open items that exist from the supplier council and the voices we've heard from suppliers and to improve," said Vest, 45.
Nissan will expand the dealer council's input next year and expand supplier training, she said.
'The real heroes'
Bob Young, vice president of purchasing at Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, said close coordination with parts makers was essential to Toyota's recovery from the March 11 earthquake in Japan that severed supply chains and hammered production.
He called suppliers "the real heroes" in getting Toyota's assembly lines back online. But the quake also exposed just how little communication there is between automakers and lower-tier suppliers, many of whom were all but unknown until plants were idled by the disaster.
Young, 45, cited a supplier whose Japan factory supplied paint pigment to almost every automaker around the world. "I don't think anyone had any idea that was actually happening or where the supply chains of the major suppliers crossed."
Rob Deni, vice president of global supply management at powertrain-parts supplier BorgWarner, said his company is also pursuing closer collaboration -- but with companies outside the auto industry.
The goal is to pair with non-competing companies that use similar processes or tap similar supply bases for components and materials. Often, they have innovative purchasing methods that are all but unknown inside the automotive industry, he said.
BorgWarner, for example, is cooperating with a maker of speakers and headphones to pioneer new methods of acquiring the rare earth metals that are increasingly used in hybrid vehicle batteries and the electric motors of battery-powered cars.
"It's amazing how much you can learn when you collaborate with people in non-competing industries," said Deni, 49, who leads drivetrain purchasing at the Michigan supplier.
Go fast or go far
Emilio Esparza, 47, director of purchasing at Valeo North America, said cooperation and clear communication between automakers and suppliers is especially important as the recovering industry races to meet a surging customer demand.
"Growth with innovation is done together," he said. "If you want to go fast, you can run alone. If you want to go far, you have to run together."

French cyclist Aurélien Duval (Française des Jeux) failed an anti-doping test for norfenfluramine October 1 at the Franco-Belge stage race, the International Cycling Union (UCI) announced today. It provisionally suspended Duval.
"Riders are warned, they know the consequences of their actions," Marc Madiot, Française des Jeux team manager, told L'Equipe.
Norfenfluramine is a banned drug that acts as an appetite suppressant. Italian Marta Bastianelli tested positive for the drug in July 2008. She's serving a two-year suspension.
Duval, 21, won the silver medal at the 2008 Under 23 Cyclo-Cross World Championships in Treviso, Italy. He has missed most of this road season due to a swollen ligament.
A World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) accredited laboratory in Gent, Belgium, preformed the analysis of Duval's urine sample. Duval has the right to ask for a counter-analysis of the sample.
Duval's provisional suspension remains in force until a French Cycling Federation (FFC) disciplinarily panel meets and rules on the case.

1997 Saab 900 Coupe
Saab 900 Coupe
The indorsement or ‘new’ propagation Saab 900 (likewise referred to as the GM900 or NG900 among enthusiasts) was reinforced on GM’s GM2900 chopine as a successor for the “graeco-roman” first-generation Saab 900. This all-new 900 was produced in the 1994 done 1998 manakin days. In Mid 1998 it standard complete 1100 case-by-case improvements (although around were really introduced on the 1998 manakin 900), and was renamed the Saab 9-3 (in about markets; in the US the epithet commute was introduced for 1999). As the 9-3, the NG900 was produced done 2002.
Variants included 900i (4-cylinder, non-turbo), S (4-cylinder, non-turbo) and SE (4-cylinder turbo or V6) models in three-door, five-door and exchangeable trunk styles. For 1997 and 1998 alone, thither was too a Saab 900 Talladega, abaft a record-breaking survival trial in 1996, on the Talladega Superspeedway.
Contingent mart, the NG900 was useable with a prime of 2.0 L or 2.3 L Saab 16-valve DOHC engines (Saab locomotive codes B204, B234) in course aspirated or turbocharged cast (2.0 L solitary), besides as a 2.5 L variation of GM’s European 54° V6 locomotive. Locomotive direction for the turbos was by Saab Trionic 5 with Calculate Lighting (SDI) and Automatonlike Functioning Restraint, and for non-turbos by Bosch Motronic fire injectant. A distributor-operated ignition was provided for course aspirated engines in roughly markets.
In line to the ‘greco-roman’ Saab 900 with its longwise mounted locomotive and front-hinged cowling (cowling), the NG900 had a more-common transversally mounted locomotive with rear-hinged cap (cowl).
The ‘Sensonic’ grip variance, (uncommitted on Turbo models lone) provided a manual shifter as in a touchstone manual infection car, but omitted the clutch in favour of electronics which could command the hold quicker than an medium driver.
1997 Saab 900 Coupe
When a driver started to run the cogwheel shifting node/geartrain picker prize, a computer-controlled actuator operated the batch. With the car in train but stationary, the clench was released only limit was applied. If neither bracken nor throttle was down, a monitory quality sounded and a content flashed on the on-board expose, and if no accomplish was interpreted later 7 seconds, the locomotive was unopen off.
A “Mound Beginning” purpose for Sensonic-equipped cars (as described in the proprietor’s manual) was intended to help in acquiring afoot on hills, by piquant the car’s grip to preclude wheeling slow-witted. Nevertheless, this sport was not really enforced on the car.
Sensonic was discontinued astern a shortstop clip, as it proven unpopular.
Saab Information Display
The NG900 introduced the Saab Entropy Expose, or SID (uncommitted on S or SE models sole), which gave the driver real-time data spell impulsive, such as fire efficiency and extraneous temperature. Groundwork stipulation cars had a digital time in post of the SID and a non-digital panel with a mechanical hodometer (as opposed to the digital mileometer on higher specification models). Interestingly the SID besides controls over-the-counter fomite components, including but not circumscribed to hearable warnings for turning signals and the vehicles trumpet.
One Saab foundation, elysian by the party’s roots in astronautics, was the ‘Inkiness Empanel’ have (usable on S or SE models lonesome), which extinguished virtually panel lights at the feeling of a push on the SID, to eradicate beguilement from das lights during nighttime drive. Spell combat-ready, this sport permitted darkened instruments to re-illuminate themselves when they requisite driver care – if say, the locomotive swiftness increased alarmingly or if the fire storey should bead infra 15 litres (4 US gal). This sport was late renamed ‘Dark Board’ in Saab 9-3 and Saab 9-5 models. In the ulterior Dark Board reading, the speedometer is just well-lighted capable the 87 mph/140 km/h cross. The difference of the exfoliation bequeath alone be well-lighted if the speeding of the car exceeds 84 mph/135 km/h.

Stephen Binder, the previous owner of the land, was unable to attend but listened to the action by phone.
Those associated with the auction anticipated the Clay County land to be arecord-breaker, drawing large crowds, which required the sale to take place in the community center, rather than onsite where most auctions take place.
Auctioneer Clint Jones was not disappointed.
Jones, of J and H Auctions, started the bidding at the county's previous record of $7,500 per acre. Dozens of bids from a handful of farmers, two breaks and 30 minutes later, the ground was sold at $8,740 to Roger Roetman.
"This is basically an investment," the Sheldon farmer said after his final bid secured the purchase.
After the bid started at $7,500, it quickly soared to $8,150 before a break was requested, allowing a potential buyer to step outside and make a phone call.
A second break took place at the $8,600 plateau, after which the bid started climbing by multiples of $10 and $20 rather than $25, $50 and $100.
"The style of bidding doesn't make much of a difference at the end of the day," Roetman said. He acknowledged he has quite a bit of experience with bidding as he has attended numerous land sales in the past.
Jones has administered his fair share of auctions throughout his career and shared, "over west of here, there has been higher prices, but this is the highest for Clay County."
"We've sold some as good as this, but none better," he told the crowd during the bidding process. "... This is a big deal, a huge deal. It probably won't come up for sale in our lifetimes again."
In a friendly wager, he had predicted a price of $8,750.
"Interest had been going up," he said, "which made me think it'd go higher."
He went on to say of the bidders, "They came from all over."
A couple factors were responsible the large crowd and, ultimately, the hefty price tag for the ground boasting what is known as Marcus, Primghar soil.
"Marcus, Primghar soil is the best in the state," Jones analyzed.
The benchmark for rating ground -- known as Corn Suitability Rating -- stood at 81.1 for one 80-acre parcel and 82 for the other, for a combined rating of 81.6.
"That's as good as there is in the county," Jones assessed. "They don't get any better than that."
In addition to the quality of the land, Jones pointed out a few other key factors.
"There is low interest at the bank," he said of those needing to borrow for their investments. "Also, commodities prices are as high as they have ever been."
With those factors in mind, Jones concluded, "This is a solid investment."

A 'world-class' look
Intracoastal waterfront is shaping into a mix of residential, business
VENICE -- For most of its 30-plus years of existence, the Intracoastal Waterway has been a working waterfront, with marinas and warehouses operating in the shadow of cement plants and a railroad yard.
It was an economic afterthought, carved out by the Army Corps of Engineers in the late 1960s as part of an inland waterway channel.
But that's all so last century. Now, the city's Intracoastal waterfront is on the verge of becoming a residential and recreational playground.
"That could be a world-class waterfront," said planner Mary Ann Bowie, a consultant who worked with the city on a revitalization plan for the U.S. 41 Business corridor.
"It can be a place where people feel drawn to," she added. "It's a mix between the Atlantic City boardwalk and St. Armands Circle."
Jean Trammell agreed, saying it could become, at best, like Riverwalk in San Antonio -- a mix of shops, residences and cafes -- or like Asbury Park, N.J., in its younger days, with stores and bed and breakfasts.
"Eventually, that would be a really cool stretch to have water taxis on," added Trammell, managing director of The Venice Company.
The shape of the waterfront started to change in 2000, when the state began building the new Hatchett Creek Bridge.
It continued with renovation of the historic train station on the east side of the waterway and the ongoing construction of the Venetian Waterway Park, which will eventually span 10 miles, straddling the five-mile-long waterfront.
Planners see the linear park, a concrete path flanked by well-manicured greenway, as a pastoral lifeline connecting shops, restaurants, and residences.
Though, city officials admit, that vision is still taking shape.
"Only recently have we realized it's a valuable public resource," Deputy City Manager Marty Black said. "We've defined what we want to move towards, allowing more public uses and more appropriate uses along the waterfront, other than having storage areas that butt up to an abandoned rail segment."
"That doesn't make sense along a vibrant Intracoastal Waterway," he added.
Yes, city officials admit, there's no formal plan for waterfront development, beyond a desire to keep it open to the public, but these things take time.
First, there was the matter of revitalizing Venice Avenue from a dying commercial area into its current thriving status. Then there was the matter of the state widening of U.S. 41 Business and business building there.
Now, city officials say, the waterfront's time is coming.
The next step, Black said, is to develop a waterfront revitalization plan to complement the efforts of Venice Area Beautification Inc. with the waterway park.
The city did apply twice for the state Waterfronts Florida grant program that would have given it $35,000 to use for planning, but didn't make the cut, noted city comprehensive planner Don Calliouette.
Instead, more traditional communities dependent on their waterfront for survival, such as Cortez in Manatee County, Old Homosassa in Citrus County, and Mayport in Duval County were picked.
Bowie said to ensure that shops, restaurants, and other amenities sprout along the waterway, the city needs a master plan for the waterfront that's being physically beautified by the Venetian Waterway Park.
"The walkway by itself won't be enough to create the kind of environment that everybody really has in mind," she added. "If you create the right land-use context, then the right kind of developers are going to be attracted."
So far, it's attracted Mike Miller, president of the Waterford Companies, who first thought about reshaping the Intracoastal Waterway while sitting in the restaurant that at one time sat on the condominium site.
The first building in Miller's initial project, the nine-story Waterfront on Venice Island condominium now rising near the Hatchett Creek Bridge, is the city's first high-rise condominium since Costa Brava was finished in the 1970s.
A double-unit penthouse sold for about $1.6 million. If the building opens on schedule, it will overlook an unfinished waterfront that may be more a decade away from a million-dollar view.
"That's how goofy this waterfront market is, that people are plunking down money to buy something like that and really don't know what you get till it's done," said Realtor George Huhn of REMAX properties.
In some ways, Miller has been selling his vision rather than the immediate view.
"He's got some things in mind that are almost visionary and will revitalize downtown Venice," Huhn added.
Miller's bold proposal for the Waterfront on Venice Island condominium promised redevelopment of what's arguably the island's lone depressed waterfront area -- east of U.S. 41 Business and north of the Venice Avenue Bridge.
When he proposed the project in November 2001, he said he hoped neighboring landowners would seek to join him or improve their properties on their own.
Since then, he's worked on buying them out and has contracts pending on all the property adjacent to the waterway in that same area, about four acres.
It includes a public park that will give direct access to the Venetian Waterway Park, replacing the building that now houses the Outlook bar.
"We'd like to make that the center of focus for the waterfront downtown area," Miller said. "The waterway park goes all the way to the beach, so people could come and go from there."
To complement his original 80-unit condominium plan, Miller's hoping to build a 50-to-100-unit hotel complex, with a small number of retail shops and restaurants mixed in.
He hopes to have a site plan ready for city review before the end of the calendar year.
Though it could take two years to build new homes for the three service clubs -- Moose, Elks and American Legion -- that now comprise most of the neighborhood.
Faced with the prospect of building a luxury condominium and hotel overlooking the historic downtown and the Gulf of Mexico to the west and two concrete plants to the east, Miller has been negotiating with CEMEX and Singletary Concrete Products, owners of the two plants along Seaboard Avenue.
"We're not there yet, but we might be sometime in the near future," Miller said.
The two plants occupy a total of about 12 acres adjacent to the historic train depot site.
The city thought about buying the properties in 2001 but never got beyond discussions of appraisals.
Miller envisions some type of mixed-use residential development there but said it's too soon to tell.
Given his enthusiasm and drive, it sometimes seems that the city's waterfront plan may be simply to wait to follow Mike Miller.
Trammell doesn't think others will soon jump in. "A lot of developers don't want to be first," she observed.
At least one other waterfront project, residential development of the Fisherman's Wharf Marina just north of the island of Venice, looms as the first big thing developed by someone else -- though ongoing permit battles between marina owner John Konecnik and Sarasota County over a 686-foot dock he wants to build have stalled progress on potential rezoning of the marina to allow for condominium construction.
At the southern end of the island, city officials are considering construction of a marina-restaurant-condominium complex as part of the Venice Municipal Airport Business Park.
That development would be linked to the downtown core by the Venetian Waterway Park. Also, Black noted, there will be gradual redevelopment of the warehouse district along Seaboard Avenue south of Venice Avenue.
"You have a community asset in the waterway," Black said. "And the idea is to create an environment that's more appealing for everyone to have access and use it."

Benedict Cumberbatch has launched a tirade against anti-gay extremism in a new interview, claiming he would be willing to defend gay rights “to the death”.
Speaking to Out magazine in a new interview, he says: “People are being beheaded in countries right now because of their beliefs or sexual orientations.
"It’s terrifying. It’s medieval - a beheading! I’d take up arms against someone who was telling me I had to believe in what they believed or they would kill me. I would fight them. I would fight them to the death."
Benedict is about to star in ‘The Imitation Game’ as Alan Turing, the gifted codebreaker who is famously credited with cracking the Enigma codes used by the Germans during World War II.
Although Turing was celebrated at the time, it was discovered years later that he was gay and in 1952, when homosexuality was still illegal, he was convicted, choosing to be “treated” with oestrogen injections (chemical castration) rather than serving a prison sentence.
The ‘Sherlock’ star says people should take his latest film role as a warning that, although gay rights seem to be moving in the right direction at present, “this could very easily happen again”, adding: “Human rights movements and sexual and gay rights movements have made huge social progress in the last 40 years, without a doubt, but there’s a lot more work to be done.”
Benedict famously missed the San-Diego Comic Convention last year because he was officiating at a wedding between two of his gay friends.

In a statement released this afternoon, the University of Tennessee confirmed the reports that Beverly Davenport will in fact be leaving her position of chancellor. Jimmy Hyams broke the story earlier today, saying that Davenport had been fired.
While Davenport will no longer be the chancellor, she will stay on as a member of the faculty in the College of Communications and Information.
Here is a portion of the press release from University of Tennessee President Joe DiPietro.
“It is my responsibility as UT president to ensure the success of every campus, beginning with the leadership of every campus. A great deal is at stake in these hires, particularly given the importance of the flagship campus both to fulfilling the UT system mission and to that mission’s impact on the lives of all Tennesseans. Upon realizing that UT Knoxville needed a change from Dr. Davenport’s leadership, I decided to take action to address the leadership need.
“Dr. Davenport and I have had several conversations during her tenure as chancellor to lay out expectations, and discuss concerns. Unfortunately, issues arose that have progressed and, while I am disappointed to have to make this change, it is necessary and in the best interests of the University.”
DiPietro’s termination letter to Davenport was also released.
“I have decided that it is in the best interest of The University of Tennessee to change the leadership of our flagship campus and terminate your appointment as Chancellor of The University of Tennessee, Knoxville,” DiPietro wrote.
DiPietro cited “numerous areas of unsatisfactory performance” that Davenport was “unwilling or unable to improve.” Specifically, a lack of trust, communication skills, lack of organization and failure to accept responsibility were mentioned as reasons that led to her demotion.
The full letter is below, if you would like to click and zoom in to read.
Davenport will officially be out as chancellor on July 1st, 2018. She will then become a professor in the communications department — which is just all too ironic.

Live Dealer Poker Games
Live Dealer Poker Games
Live casino adopted pretty basic technology to provide a real alternative to indoor casino gaming, a distinctive experience that makes the complete thing almost as realistic and immersive as if you where in the casino floor of Caesar’s Palace. Live casino has been one of the fastest growing forms of the Gaming among large crowds of all sizes, yet hardly any people really know how it all works. This is because not many people have the budget to obtain all the way involved with online gambling. Yet, Live casino gaming is fairly different from all the online casinos. For example, there is absolutely no telepathy necessary to know which card is winning, although it is possible to bet that you will see plenty of betting frenzy as everyone knows which card is the winning one before they have even thrown their money on the device.
To provide the illusion that you where really at the actual casino, all you need is really a webcam. These webcams could be easily bought at under $100 and can provide you with high quality video streaming of one’s gaming establishment. It is possible to capture the movements of your players as well as the chat room. The webcam will also help you track your profits and losses by using the software given live casinos. This software will record everything that your players do on the webpage and then utilize this information to create a virtual casino that will feel just like the real thing.
The second aspect of live casino you must understand is the design of the website. You must ensure that all your signage and advertising are up to date and that they properly communicate what you offer. Many live casinos only have a couple of roulette dealers to help supply the players with quick and convenient play. For those who have twenty-five players and only one dealer, you are losing lots of potential revenue. It is advisable to have a dealer with approximately ten tables to be able to maximize the player base.
Along with getting the proper signage and advertising, you also want to have a great location. This can make or break your online casinos business. Look at a few different sites to determine which of them will offer you the best return on investment. Make certain that their interface is simple to navigate and that it offers random number generators that may keep you happy. In a few live casinos you may even have access to special casinos where one can lay wagers by using a random number generator. This can be a great way to help keep your players happy also to turn a profit.
When you have found the perfect location, you should consider how you are likely to advertise it. There are all sorts of ways in which you can advertise live casinos. In case you have a small budget, you might want to contact local newspapers and have them if they would publish your site address on the front page. You can also contact TV stations and talk shows on the radio in order to spread the word about your new live casino.
THE WEB is also a good spot to publish your website and advertise for your live casino. Several gaming websites will allow you to put in a little content and pictures showing players what it is you have to offer. A few of these gaming companies also offer television and radio stations that could be streamed to multiple computers and televisions. This can be an excellent way to keep your live casino updated with content and promotions to help keep your players interested.
When it comes to keeping customers interested, customer service is a huge factor. If you are playing roulette at an online gambling establishment that has live casinos, make sure that you deal with an actual dealer that will actually cope with you. A lot of people that visit live casinos will play the games for the enjoyment of playing and can not bother to check on how the game is being handled. If the casino is having a problem with a particular deal or roll of the card, the players won’t know it until it really is too late. When they get yourself a bad hand dealt, they may leave the site without playing another hand or taking their money out.
Real dealers at live 007 카지노 casinos offer players more value and playability. These real dealers are accustomed to dealing with a huge selection of clients each day and understand how to interact with them to help make the gaming experience as smooth and enjoyable as you possibly can. The best live casino offers real dealers since they want to ensure customer satisfaction and retention of customers. You can be assured that the dealer will go the extra mile to truly get you the very best hands.

Award-winning artist/author Cooper Edens, and digital publishers Lucid Dream Atelier, announce their release of Cooper Edens One More Star, an interactive, animated App that reconnects readers to childhood wonder and wisdom.
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) February 24, 2014
Author-artist Cooper Edens says he was the child of a child of a child. His mother was child-like even as a parent, and her mother was the same way. According to him, it was an ideal childhood.
In a sprawling home on the shore of Lake Washington, east of Seattle, with this supportive and indulgent family, he was allowed to wander and explore an idyllic private world. And his new iPad app Cooper Edens One More Star (based on his bestselling 2003 book) clearly reflects that childlike sense of wonder and discovery.
There I was, with a couple of acres on the beach that was all mine, creating my own adventures all day. The afternoon of the day I started school, the principal called my mother and announced that I was too creative for their school. My mom said Fine, and I was home and on my own for the next year and a half.
When he wasnt outdoors he was immersing himself in drawing. I started with coloring books where I would use wildly inappropriate colors, and then took comic strips from the paper, cut them up, and built my own stories, like pairing Alley Oop with Brenda Starr.
The esthetic that colors people purple and puts a caveman together with a glamorous reporter is clearly evident in the Add One More Star app. Its where you can get the advice that When your elephant forgets perhaps your aadvark knows the answer. And where you can see (and hear) a very dapper carrot walking down the garden path calling his lost rabbit.
Being able to animate the text and images from the book, and add in a music track, and then also give the reader control over the timing and flowthat really brings it to life for me. Ill take credit for the art and ideas, but the animator, my old friend Michael DeCourcey, really delivered on the touchbook promise.
One More Star is the second of Coopers books that have been re-created as an app, and Cooper sees the technology as helping readers experience for themselves the vision that connects with the child in all of us. I think the app format involves the reader in an experience that kind of recreates that idyllic frame of mind, where the world is yours to see for the very first time. And you make your own sense of it all.
Cooper Edens One More Star is available, for the iPad, from the App Store$8.99. (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cooper-edens-one-more-star/id792154901?mt=8).
About Cooper Edens: Cooper Edens is a Seattle-based author and artist.

One of Britain’s wealthiest businessmen has pledged to boost Britain’s proton beam offering after he was forced to travel to Switzerland for cancer treatment.Ian Taylor, the head of the world’s largest energy trader, and chairman of the board of trustees at the Royal Opera House, said he had hoped to invest in services in this country after his own experiences with throat cancer.The businessman, 62, is recovering from proton beam therapy to treat throat cancer, after two bouts of “massive” surgery.He said he was forced to travel to Switzerland, because there is nowhere in this country offering the pioneering therapy, which can offer more targeted treatment without damaging surrounding tissues.Currently the NHS funds patients to go abroad for proton therapy, if doctors decide that it is required.

We went over to my mother-in-law's place for Easter dinner yesterday. I made this cake for dessert:
New Wave Chocolate Tunnel Cake from Marcy Goldman's A Treasury of Jewish Holiday Baking. I am neither religious nor Jewish, but I do love Jewish cuisine!! So while the dessert was definitely not kosher for Passover, it was okay for Easter.
A tunnel of cream cheese and chocolate chips runs through it!
The recipe is here. I tried baking with duck eggs for the first time yesterday, and boy did this sucker rise up! (Appropriate for Easter, I should think. ;))
Gordon got some chocolate for Easter, and this:
He wanted a Venus Flytrap when he was a kid, so I indulged him. I had one when I was a child but I killed it by, among other things, feeding it cooked hamburger.
I have looked up care instructions on the internet, so one hope this Venus Flytrap (not really man-eating, just bug-eating) will last a little longer than the one I poisoned with cow.
And here is Julius, not helping me to draw by lying on my pencils.
Hope everyone had a good Easter/Passover/weekend!
Mama Duck continues to heal and walks a little better every day. Her leg swelling is going down nicely.

Why Abortion Should Be Banned Considering why abortion should be banned may involve a close examination of the arguments that are presented on both sides of the issue. This is a controversial matter in which there seems to be very little middle ground.
This is not surprising considering that the beliefs of those who oppose and those who favor the legal termination of pregnancy are on extreme opposite ends of the scale. Those who oppose abortion, for example, believe strongly that human life begins at the moment of conception. To end a pregnancy by force is equal to murder if conception represents the beginning of life.
Those who favor abortion belief that the woman's right to choose to end a pregnancy supersedes any other concern. These individuals make few claims as to the exact beginning of life or may claim that life begins at the moment of birth and therefore no life is destroyed when an abortion takes place.
An individual's beliefs regarding when life begins will usually have a major impact on how they feel about why abortion should be banned. If there is any middle ground here, which is debatable, it may be found in the argument that is presented by those who feel that the law should simply step back and allow each woman to decide for herself what is right and what is wrong when it comes to aborting an unborn child.
But does such an argument hold water? The absurdity of legalizing an act that many consider to be equal to murder is one reason that is mentioned when discussing why abortion should be banned. Many abortion opponents point to the arguments that were made during the days of slavery.
Those who opposed slavery reasoned that to own another human being was morally wrong and that a moral wrong should not find sanction in the law. Individuals who favored slavery reasoned that each person should be able to make their own decision on this issue since there seemed to be a lot of disagreement on the morality of slavery.
As absurd as it may seem now, there were many who saw nothing wrong with owning another human being. How ironic that the same arguments are presented today when discussions are presented for why abortion should be banned.
Additional facts that illustrate why abortion should be banned are the statistics that link abortion and breast cancer. Women who have undergone an abortion before giving birth for the first time would seem to have a far greater chance of developing breast cancer. Studies in several countries including Brazil, Finland, Italy, China, and Russia show an increase in the risk of breast cancer of up to fifty percent for women who terminated a pregnancy before the first live birth.
The reason behind this would seem to point to the natural changes in the breast during a first pregnancy. When a woman becomes pregnant for the first time, there is a surge of estrogen in the body. This hormone causes the cells in the breasts to divide in preparation for breast feeding the infant.
As the pregnancy progresses, these cells will mature. By the end of the pregnancy, the cells are able to secrete the milk that will provide nourishment for the newborn. If a forced termination of the pregnancy occurs, these cells are not given the chance to mature.
It is believed that these immature cells can leave a woman much more vulnerable to breast cancer. These and other health concerns are often cited when making a case for why abortion should be banned.
The Bible mentions God's awareness of the human soul before birth. To those who passionately oppose abortion, this argument seems cruel.While the Catholic and Lutheran churches oppose abortion, more of their members believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases versus illegal in all or .
May 31, · Americans should care what happens under Latin American abortion bans not just for the sake of the women who live there but also because they provide a . This is why abortion must be illegal if murder is illegal. It should never be “lawful” to kill any innocent human being.
2) The 14 th Amendment was designed to protect classes of people like the unborn. At the time the 14 th Amendment was adopted, abortion was already illegal or . Abortion Should Be Banned! Essay. Abortion is a legal medical method to stop the premature delivery that is adopted in most countries of the world - Abortion Should Be Banned!Essay introduction.
It was legalized many years ago but nowadays we live in the civilized society where the human life is the most precious treasure and the question about the appropriateness of abortions is of current. Jul 01, · To improve our odds, New Jersey should move quickly to pass a constitutional amendment protecting abortion rights here.
But even that might not be enough, experts say. Apr 08, · Views on abortion, As of , public support for legal abortion remains as high as it has been in two decades of polling. Currently, 58% say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, while 37% say it should be illegal in all or most cases.

Again, I said "a tribute to Trek" not just TOS. It' the Alpha of Trek, but it's not the Omega.
To me this is going to be the problem with Trek XI. It's going to be nothing more than revisiting old nostalgic haunts like Enterprise's last season, rather than sticking to a philosophy, *any* philosophy and you know...EXPLORING and SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT THE HUMAN CONDITION with CREATIVITY.
I've had my issues with DS9, but when all was said and done, Ira Behr and Co. put out a good, quality product and expanded on the Trek Universe. What's come after doesn't come close.
"Trials and Tribble-ations" was a delicious dessert for the 30th Anniversary. But you can't *LIVE* on dessert. "Darmok" (and episodes like it) had nutritional value to keep the Trek franchise thriving for a while longer.
It's a shame that Paramount and lot of Trek fans don't see that.
Oh, I see it. I just think Trek is so played out that all it can offer, at this point, is dessert.
Besides, the cultural divide in "Darmok" just wasn't that deep and the mechanism for bridging it (lets fight te invisble slapce monster) was sorta goofy. It's Trek 101 or even Remedial Trek when we--as fans and as a society debating gay rights, abortion rights and the subtler forms of racism--are more than ready for Special Topics in Trek Theory.
T&T wasn't that, of course, but it was a fun little puzzle of a romp which showed us that one spin-off, at least, didn't think of TOS as its embarassing ancestor to be seldom spoke of.

It’s been a bit time for me to look for an example of using textual, numerical and categorical features together but I couldn’t find one. It would be nice to see a concrete example. Can you help with that?
Firstly, it actually depends on how this data is correlated, and understanding that would be the first step incorporating this data in your model. You may want to introduce some data in the later layers of your model and sometimes you can pass the data to your model all at once.
Secondly, you might want to extract features from your data, and doing so from categorical data is tough, especially because one hot encoded representations of such data would result in sparse tensors, and applying normal layers of such data would yield in meaningless results. I generally apply one of the two strategies, One is such that you would use an embedding layer for one hot encoded representations of each categorical field and then concatenate them. Another way is to use sparse convolutions and sparse linear layers. Nvidia has a package called
Minkowski Engine which has sparse implementations of the convolutional operations. You might want to go through the theory first to see which fits your case better.
To load the text data, load them as the pretrained vector representations of the words. Is it a standard dataset with which you are working ?
My previous reply answered the way you could include categorical data in your model.
Your processing layers will be a part of your model as they would be trainable.
Could you please be more specific as to what exactly you are looking for? Where are you getting stuck? and maybe with some dummy or a single datapoint from your dataset.
Gimme some time, I will fo through it and get back to you…
Not yet, got busy a little, but I assume your main problem converting textual data to tensors? Am I correct?
I understand the issue now. Will I be right to assume that the numbers would denote some weightage to the text? In that case, simple element-wise of these weights(i.e. your numbers) to the vectorized text. Combining these three pieces of information might be done through some operation which relates them. This might be the way to go.
Okay so you have many nodes containing data(like a graph or tree)…
Well given you have text, you would be padding them to make them the same length. You might as well pad these numbers with zeros to make them the same length as your sentence, and concat them with the embeddings.
On a side node, if your data is structured like a tree, have you tried out graph networks and structured learning ?
Happy to help

[Chimera-users] Change atom size and color depending on atomic charge
meng at cgl.ucsf.edu
Thu Jan 27 09:44:46 PST 2022
First I'll describe how to use color and size to show values, but not iteratively.
If you can format the charge values into a Chimera "attribute assignment file," then you can read it in to assign the values to atoms and use Render by Attribute to map the values to atom size and color.
First you would need to open the atomic structure file and figure out how to specify the atoms in the command line, e.g. by residue name and atom name: :HEM at N5
These specifications go into the attribute assignment file. The format is fairly simple as explained here:
After you make this file containing your values, when the structure is still open, read the attribute file with Define Attribute (in menu under Tools... Structure Analysis) or "defattr" command:
This will automatically assign the values to the atoms and show the Render by Attribute dialog for showing the values with color and/or size. You can also open Render by Attribute from the menu (under Tools... Structure Analysis). Another way to color by attribute is with the "rangecolor" command.
Now if by iteratively you mean that the values are changing and you want to keep changing color and size, that is more difficult. You could make multiple attribute assignment files and then read the first one with "defattr" and color with "rangecolor," then open the next one with "defattr" and color with "rangecolor" again, etc. Or instead of files and "defattr" you can assign or reassign values one by one with the "setattr" command.
I believe you would have to explicitly use "rangecolor" or Render by Attribute for each new coloring. For anything fancier or more automatic, some kind of programming (e.g. python script) would be required, but that is beyond my expertise.
I hope this helps,

So many people have lovely laptop bags, but very few people take the time to get nice decals for their laptop. I love having a nice decal for my laptop; it makes my desk look cute even when I leave my laptop out on it. When I go to cafes or the library, it serves as a good conversation starter.
Society 6 Laptop Skins
This style is a sticker type so you have to stick it onto your laptop. Smooth and a little bit glossy, it captures the art printing and color quite well.
It’s pretty easy to apply with the vinyl, took me less than 10 minutes to do, but I did go with a bit of caution. Apparently they’re removable, but I haven’t tried to remove mine.
The decal holds up pretty well. I’ve had small water spills on it; I also carry my laptop in my backpack. So far no scratches or stains since the summer.
The shipping is pretty fast, as I remember. The skin comes in a thin package, but has a bit of bubble to it to keep it safe from folding.
This part of a series of tatto or pin up style Disney princesses, including slave Princess Leia.
Yes, Leia is a Disney princess.
I love the detail on his art along with the relaxing color palette for this piece. The tattoo that Belle has of the Beast is a super cute touch. I’d recommend this to all of you!
By the same artist. I love the mohawk design of Storm. She’s such a cool comic book character, but she looks even cooler here with her awesome punk vibe. This would make a great gift for any Marvel fans!
A different artist. I love all of her prints. This artist has so many pieces to choose from, including a number of fan artworks for Sherlock, Avengers, and other Disney movies. I love her painterly style and the dynamic colors that she uses. I really feel like I can see the glimmering and flickering on the lights on this piece. Great for a large laptop size; I imagine that friends might get a little lost looking at this art while you work.
Another site that sells laptop skins. Removable for your convenience and protective too! The color is quite intense with a slight gloss to the skin. I don’t own any of these but find these designs to be quite lovely.
I wonder if laptop decals are ever going to catch on outside of the intense laptop crowd.
Which designs did you prefer?

After a late start to the season, some sunflower growers on P.E.I. are optimistic about what lies ahead for the beloved flower. Crystal Burke-Cheverie, who helps run Fortune Bridge Farms in Souris, P.E.I., says dry weather over the last month was making it difficult for sunflowers to bloom. However, recent rain means flowers are now in bloom and the demand is high, Burke-Cheverie said. "They seem to be really popular all over the Island. Everyone you talk to likes sunflowers," she said.

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney condemned a controversial prize-winning essay that's been criticized for being sexist and racist during his provincewide radio call-in program, but also appeared to downplay the controversy it generated. The topic was the first that host Wayne Nelson raised during Saturday's show on CHQR and CHED, and Kenney responded there was "clearly a breakdown" in how the judges assessed the essays, adding they "screwed up." Nelson had noted in the opening of the program that wh

MONTREAL — Quebec's new language law has dozens of municipalities in the province shoring up their bilingual status, with few considering giving up the right to serve their citizens in both English and French. Almost 90 cities, towns or boroughs in Quebec are considered officially bilingual, a designation allowing them to offer services, post signage and mail communications in the country's two official languages. Jurisdictions without this status must communicate only in French, with few except

"The current forecast is showing favourable weather conditions and continuing to trend in a positive direction," the department said. T
Saint John is getting "the short end of the stick" when Air Canada makes decisions about flights into New Brunswick, says David Duplisea, CEO of the Saint John Region Chamber of Canada. Saint John flights are being cut to only two per day, while Fredericton's has six daily flights and Moncton five, Duplisea said.

For parents of transgender children, normal kids' activities — like going to summer camp — aren't so simple. Jan Gootjes, a New Brunswick mother of a transgender boy, knows this all too well. She regularly screens programs and activities to make sure they'll welcome him, will use his correct pronouns and provide the right accommodations. That's what she did one day in the summer of 2020, when her son asked if he could go to Caton's Island summer camp and stay in a cabin with his male friends. Bu

text: Glucose control is important for diabetes management. Using a medical device, Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) captures real-time glucose measurements for a patient every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day. Traditionally, such data are analyzed by patient’s weekly averages, reflecting clinical interpretation similar to Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels. Ignoring patient’s daily living activities and their impact on glucose level, this approach attributes all deviations from the glucose mean to random variability. CGM was used in a recent randomized Phase II clinical trial to assess the efficacy of a new molecule on glucose control. We used various statistical and machine learning tools to analyze all data points collected during the treatment period to assess important factors accounting for CGM variability. To explore the treatment effects, we first used ANCOVA to analyze the CGM data at several discrete days. We then used gradient boosting machine to demonstrate treatment effect over time. Finally, we employed virtual twins and random forest to investigate important baseline characteristics to explore subgroups with treatment benefit from the new molecule.

Recent research shows that positive views of Muslims in France have increased after the January attack on the Paris office of the Charlie Hebdo publication.
With the attack being carried out by two Muslim brothers and resulting in 12 deaths, the future of Muslims in France would have been understandably grim. However, a Pew Research Center survey finds a marginal increase in favourable views of Muslims compared with research findings prior to the Charlie Hebdo attack.
The survey finds that 76 per cent of locals who form the sample base have favourable views of Muslims compared with 72 per cent in 2014.
Positive views of Muslims increased across the political ideology spectrum with a higher rating from supporters of the political left in France.
Richard Wike, director of global attitudes research at Pew stated: ‘It remains to be seen whether the improvement in French attitudes toward that country’s Muslim minority will hold, but the topic of Islam in French society will surely be an important issue as the country moves toward presidential elections in 2017’.
After the attack there has been much debate on the role of Islam in a secularism-famous country. Despite this, and the concerns of the radicalisation of Muslims in France, there has been a positive increase in views of Muslims in the past year.

RIGHT THAT'S IT. THE GLOVES ARE OFF! FROM NOW ON, I'M JUST GOING
TO SAY WHAT I THINK!
Tuesday, 12 October 2010
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE SAYS 'HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT ACCEPTABLE'.
The Republican candidate for the governor of New York state has been condemned by both conservatives and Democrats for saying that he did not want his children "brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality" was "an acceptable option".
New York Republican candidate Carl Paladino in the Williamsburg neighborhood of the Brooklyn borough of New York
In a television interview yesterday, Mr Paladino said that he did not discriminate against gays, and employed a gay nephew.
But he repeated his opposition to gay marriage and, referring to homosexuality, added: "That's not how God created us, and that's not the example that we should be showing our children".
I think a balance has to be struck on this whole minorities issue. Research has proved that less than 2% of the adult population of the UK, is Gay or Lesbian or whatever the other thing is. If you look at the papers and TV programmes you would think that more than half the population was gay. Take QI for instance, a programme popular with my wife. The host a Mr Fry, is a Homosexual who claims abstinence from buggery. The whole programme is laden with references to Homosexuality throughout and in my opinion, shouldn't be shown on the BBC at all.
This whole agenda has been pushed on British Society along with mass immigration and it is going to lead to riots at some point. The general population will only take so much. I realise that minorities have to have rights, but they shouldn't have more rights than the majority. Homosexuality is not normal or else more than 50% of the population would be doing it, which may be the case for all I know. But I doubt it! I wish that we had politicians in this country of the calibre of Mr Paladino, who would stand up for the rights of the majority.

The United States announced sanctions on Monday targeting three Malian soldiers, including the current defense minister, for helping to “deploy and expand” operations in Mali by the Russian paramilitary group Wagner.
• Read more: “Wagner’s soldiers are beginning to press us”
The sanctions target three officers of the Malian army: Colonel Sadio Camara, the Minister of Defense, as well as Colonel Alou Boi Tiara and Lieutenant-Colonel Adama Bagaiogo, both air force officers.
In a statement from the Washington US Treasury, “there is evidence that these Malian officials contributed to the Wagner Group’s malicious activities in Mali.”
“Today’s action exposes key Malian officials who helped establish the Wagner Group in Mali over the past two years,” Treasury Undersecretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian Nelson said in the statement.
“These officials have made their people vulnerable to the Wagner Group’s disruptive activities and human rights abuses, while paving the way for the exploitation of their country’s sovereign resources to benefit the Wagner Group’s operations in Ukraine,” he added.
The assets of the three officials in the United States have been frozen and they are prohibited from conducting transactions with US persons or entities.
According to Washington, since the arrival of the Wagner Group in Mali in December 2021, the number of civilians affected in this country has increased by 278%, mainly due to operations by Mali’s armed forces with members of the Wagner Group.
Sanctions were lifted by the US against the group in June 2017 and then re-imposed last January.
The future of Wagner, who has fought in Ukraine and whose presence is confirmed in several African countries and Syria, is in question after a 24-hour uprising led by his boss Evgeny Prigozhin in Russia in June.
Moscow said its future in Africa “depends on the countries concerned”.

Brave couple share stillbirth story to protect others20th April 2017 Clinical Negligence
Over Easter my clients Nousheen and Iestyn North featured in a national newspaper article which told the story of the preventable death of their baby son.
The couple very bravely spoke to the Daily Mail to raise awareness of a treatable infection that caused their first baby Evan to develop overwhelming sepsis during labour.
Group B Strep is a common infection that is carried by one in four people and is generally harmless. However it can be extremely dangerous for babies and can be passed on to them from the mother during childbirth. If the mother is identified as a carrier then antibiotics should be given to her during labour so her baby is protected.
However currently the NHS does not routinely screen pregnant women for the presence of Group Strep B bacteria. Women may be tested on the NHS as part of investigations for other issues during pregnancy such as bleeding, or in Nousheen's case, signs of early labour. Private testing kits can also be purchased but as the NHS provides very little, or no, information about Group B Strep to expectant parents, many have never even heard of it.
Nousheen was tested by an NHS doctor when she started having contractions three weeks early. However a communication error meant the positive test result was not passed on to her or midwives and antibiotics were not provided.
Nousheen and Iestyn, who have since had a healthy baby boy called Louie, wanted to raise awareness of Group B Strep so that they can save even just one other family from going through the same ordeal. They also support a campaign by charity Group B Strep Support for the NHS to introduce routine screening into maternity care so that many other babies can be protected.
It is couples such as Nousheen and Iestyn who help to bring about change by sharing their heart-breaking stories, ensuring lessons are learned. Unfortunately theirs is far from an isolated example and the UK has one of the highest stillbirth rates in the developed world. Much more research and awareness is needed to address this and by sharing their story Nousheen and Iestyn have played their part.

- Abstract: In March 2009, the South Korean National Assembly approved the first foreign deployment of South Korea's naval forces to join the U.S.-led Combined Task Force (CTF-151). The purpose of CTF-151 is to conduct antipiracy operations in the Gulf of Aden and off Somalia's east coast by the Horn of Africa. South Korea joined the navies of twentyfour other countries that participate in the Combined Maritime Forces (CMF) through one of three combined task forces, CTF-150, CTF-151, and CTF-152, to help ensure maritime security in this region. The CMF is an international effort to conduct maritime security operations in the Gulf of Aden, the Arabian Sea, and the Indian Ocean.

|My cabinet card sketchbook, along with the book that helped me to create it
For my first project, I've created the cabinet-card sketchbook from Jeannine Stein's Re-bound, in which she encourages the use of recycled and re-purposed materials for creating books.
The cover of my hand-bound book is a cabinet card purchased from the Allentown Paper Show.
I was thinking about giving this blog post the title: "Bookbinding is not for the faint of heart."
But through the process of binding this rather complicated book, I realized that there is definitely a simple secret to making the activity easier: punch yourself large enough holes so that you are not fighting your needle's way through each one!
An awl is a fine way to start, but the Japanese screw punch is really indispensable for the bookbinder or book artist. I'm no expert, but as a beginner, I'm finding that these are a few of my favorite things:
|My favorite adhesive (UHU glue stick), Japanese screw punch, awls for
punching small holes, ruler, sharp utility knife
And, really, isn't that pretty much true of any creative endeavor?
I'm on a bit of a bookbinding kick, it seems, so there may be a lot more where this came from!

Microring resonators (MRRs) are reconfigurable optical elements ubiquitous in photonic integrated circuits. Owing to its high sensitivity, MRR control is very challenging, especially in large-scale optical systems. In this work, we experimentally demonstrate continuous, multi-channel control of MRR weight banks using simple calibration procedures. A record-high accuracy and precision are achieved for all the controlled MRRs with negligible inter-channel crosstalk. Our approach allows accurate transmission calibration without the need for direct access to the output of the microring weight bank and without the need to lay out electrical and optical I/Os specific for calibration purpose. These features mean that our MRR control approach can be applied to large-scale photonic integrated circuits while maintaining its accuracy with manageable cost of chip area and I/O complexity.
