Geographically Weighted Regression with Kernel Weighted Function on Poverty Cases in West Java Province
Published: 31 March 2021
Indonesian Journal of Statistics and Its Applications , Volume 5, pp 173-181; doi:10.29244/ijsa.v5i1p173-181
Abstract: Spatial regression analysis is a form of regression model that considers spatial effects. Geographically weighted regression (GWR) is the spatial regression methods that can be used to deal with the problem of spatial diversity. This method generates local model parameter estimates for each observation location. The application of spatial statistics can be done in all areas such as the problem of poverty. Poverty can be influenced by factors of proximity between regions, so that in determining the poverty factor, the proximity factor of the region cannot be ignored. West Java Province is a province with the largest population, so this study aims to model the poverty data in West Java Province by incorporating spatial effects. The weighting function used for the GWR model is the function of the fixed and adaptive kernels. The analysis results show that the fixed exponential kernel function has the smallest cross validation (CV) value, so the weighting matrix used in the model is determined by the exponential kernel function. The largest value and the smallest AIC value are owned by the GWR model with an exponential kernel function. Based on the results obtained by the the ANOVA table to test GWR's global goodness, the GWR model is more effective than global regression. Therefore, the GWR model is the best model when it used in West Java’s poverty cases. The effect of each explanatory variable on the percentage of poverty varies in each district/city in West Java Province.

What if we told you bringing your cat to the vet doesn't have to be an ordeal - Part II
In our last blog we discussed the trials and tribulations of bringing your cat to the vet. We specifically discussed carrier aversion and how to work with your cat in acclimatizing to their carrier.
Hopefully some of the suggestions we discussed were helpful! However, getting your cat in the carrier is just the first step. Now we have to get your cat to the car and eventually to the clinic. If it helps, I'm working along with you guys. Right now Loretta is tolerating the carrier in her room and having all her meals beside it. In a few weeks I'm going to try and see if she will actually eat a meal inside it...but I digress.
Ok, so you've worked hard, your cat has gone in the carrier and is comfortable but here is where all your hard work can fly out the window. How do the majority of us pick up our cat's carrier? Well by the handle, because that's what it's there for. However...have you ever stood back and observed how that looks? The carrier is swinging in every direction, the poor cat is rolling around, must be very frightening. What we recommend if at all possible is to hold it with both hands and lift the weight evenly and carefully (just like Christina our technician is holding in the picture above) without jostling or bumping.
Now let's talk about how we can make the trip itself easier!
1) Cover the carrier: You would be surprised how this really can help! Covering the carrier with a blanket can make your kitty feel much more secure and block out sights like moving cars and trucks. I was successful in moving two cats across the country this way. (and that was almost a 7 day trek)
2) Use Feliway: Feliway is a synthetic pheromone that helps promote calmness and serenity in your cat's environment. You can use the product on a blanket in the carrier or even spray the inside and the bars of the carrier. (Visit their website here to learn more about Feliway ... http://www.feliway.com/ca_en/?)
3) Krazy Kitty cat nip and toys: The Krazy Kitty line of toys has catnip and other herbs to help your cat feel relaxed and happy. We carry the full line of Krazy Kitty products. (Visit their website here...http://www.krazykitty.com/)
If possible, give yourself plenty of time to get into the clinic, so you aren't rushing and stressed yourself as that will carry over to your cat. Play some calming music during the journey.
Once you are here, we can help you and your cat as well. If you would like a quiet room, don't hesitate to ask us. We usually have one or two quiet rooms available away from other pets. In the quiet room we can also use the Feliway plug in to carry on the pheromone therapy that you started at home. Plus we can add some more catnip and treats to help your cat relax until the appointment starts. (we can add some more catnip and treats to help your cat relax until the appointment starts.

Rosie Alice Huntington-Whiteley is the daughter of Fiona (nee Jackson), a fitness instructor, and Charles, a chartered surveyor. She grew up on a farm near Tavistock, Devon.
Her paternal great-grandfather, Wing-Commander Eric Huntington-Whiteley JP, was from an aristocratic family, being the younger son of politician Sir Herbert Huntington-Whiteley, 1st Baronet; Eric wife, Rosie great-grandmother, Enid Kohn, was from a family of Polish Jews who emigrated to England in the 1870s.
Rosie paternal grandmother, Gillian, also from a Jewish family, was the daughter of Jacob Franks, a prominent surgeon in Sussex.
Rosie studied in Milton Abbot Primary School and then in Tavistock College, Tavistock, Devon, England.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley later revealed that she was bullied and teased at school for having a double-barrelled name, small breasts and full lips.
Huntington-Whiteley was born in Plymouth, Devon, England, the daughter of Charles Andrew Huntington-Whiteley, a chartered surveyor, and fitness instructor Fiona Yvonne, daughter of Alan Jackson of Buckinghamshire. She has two younger siblings, a brother and a sister. She grew up on a farm near Tavistock, Devon. Her paternal great-grandfather, Wing-Commander Eric Huntington-Whiteley, JP, was the nephew of George Whiteley, 1st Baron Marchamley and the younger son of politician Sir Herbert Huntington-Whiteley, 1st Baronet; Eric’s wife, Rosie’s great-grandmother, Enid Etta Cohn, was from a family of Polish Jews who emigrated to England in the 1870s. Rosie’s paternal grandmother, Gillian, also from a Jewish family, was the daughter of surgeon Jacob Franks, of West Chiltington, Sussex.
Educated at Tavistock College, she later revealed that she was bullied and teased at school for having a double-barrelled name, small breasts and full lips.
As a 15-year-old student, she undertook work experience at London West End-based model agency Profile, before taking her GCSEs. Signed after leaving school in Summer 2003, aged 16, her first modelling session was for a Levi’s jeans commercial. She got her first big break in January 2004 when she travelled to New York City for a shoot with Teen Vogue. She later made her catwalk debut alongside Naomi Campbell in New York City in Spring 2004, and was then photographed by Bruce Weber for Abercrombie & Fitch.
In early 2006, she was signed to American lingerie brand Victoria’s Secret, making her debut at the brand’s fashion show in Los Angeles.
Huntington-Whiteley remained unknown outside the fashion industry until 2008, when she was cast by chief creative director Christopher Bailey, replacing Agyness Deyn for Burberry‘s Autumn/Winter campaign with actor Sam Riley. She got her first British Vogue cover on the November 2008 issue, alongside Eden Clark and Jourdan Dunn in a feature celebrating British models. The following year, she was featured as the face of Karen Millen‘s Spring/Summer 2009 advertising campaign. She starred in a short film for Agent Provocateur lingerie, playing a woman whose boyfriend forgets Valentine’s Day.
For Fall/Winter 2009, she modelled in campaigns for Godiva and Miss Sixty. In February 2010, Huntington-Whiteley officially became a Victoria’s Secret Angel and took part in the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in New York City.> She confirmed the following year that she wouldn’t walk the show, and has since stated that she left Victoria’s Secret to pursue other opportunities, as she was “well aware of the short shelf-life a model has”.
In 2010, she posed nude for the Pirelli Calendar, which was photographed by Terry Richardson. Huntington-Whiteley hit the runway for designers Prada in Milan and Giles Deacon in Paris. For SS10 her advertising campaigns included Monsoon’s first underwear line, Thomas Wylde, Full Circle, and VS Online. In March, she collaborated with VOGUE.COM to share her outfit choices daily for the Today I’m Wearing feature. She appeared on the covers of the May 2010 issues of Harper’s Bazaar Russia and GQ UK. She was featured on the cover of LOVE Magazine’s September issue, styled as a pinup girl. For FW10 she modelled for Burberry as well as the company’s first beauty line; her other advertising campaigns included Thomas Wylde and Leon Max.
Fashion photographer Rankin devoted a book entirely to her entitled Ten Times Rosie. Rankin opined that Huntington-Whiteley brought something different to modelling: “We’ve been looking at very, very skinny, almost masculine girls for a long time. [Rosie] really is the model of the moment. She’s the actress of the moment. She’s definitely going to become something much, much bigger.” Celebrity make-up artist Ruby Hammer, who has worked with Huntington-Whiteley for years, described her as the “quintessential” English rose.
In March 2011, Huntington-Whiteley landed her first solo British Vogue cover and appeared on the covers of the UK’s July issues of Elle and GQ. She was unveiled as the face of Burberry‘s newest fragrance, Burberry Body, in July 2011. In 2013, Huntington-Whiteley starred alongside Helena Bonham Carter and David Gandy in the Marks & Spencer Christmas advert. She was also announced as the face of Australian cosmetics brand ModelCo. In 2014, PAIGE announced Huntington-Whiteley as their ambassador for their upcoming Spring 2015 ad campaign. In February 2017, PAIGE launched their first ever design collaboration with Huntington-Whiteley on a 17 piece capsule collection for Spring called Rosie HW x PAIGE. This was followed by a Fall collection consisting of 20 pieces.
Shortly following the birth of her first child, she launched her website named “Rose Inc”. The page started out as a beauty publication which worked in tandem with its Instagram and YouTube accounts. In August 2021, the brand expanded to selling its own clean makeup and skincare.
She has walked the runways for Givenchy, Burberry, Oscar De La Renta, Valentino, Michael Kors, Roberto Cavalli, Balmain, Louis Vuitton, DSquared2, Badgley Mischka, Blumarine, Marchesa, Vivienne Tam, Versace, Vera Wang, Betsey Johnson, Alberta Ferretti, Prada, Giles Deacon, and Moschino.
She has appeared in advertising campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana, Burberry, Nirav Modi, Ralph Lauren, DKNY, Escada, Versace, Leon Max, Prabal Gurung, Balmain, Karen Millen, Loewe, Bvlgari, Tommy Hilfiger, BCBG, Thomas Wylde, Clinique, Sportmax, Topshop, Marks & Spencer, Victoria’s Secret, French Connection, Levi’s, Macy’s, and Bloomingdale’s.
In May 2010, it was announced that Huntington-Whiteley would become the new female lead in Transformers: Dark of the Moon, released 29 June 2011, replacing Megan Fox. She had previously worked with the film’s director, Michael Bay, on a Victoria’s Secret commercial. MTV Networks‘ NextMovie.com named her one of the “Breakout Stars to Watch for in 2011”. Prior to the film’s release, she won the “Female Star of Tomorrow” award at the 2011 CinemaCon Awards.
Reviewers were critical of the acting of Huntington-Whiteley and co-star Shia LaBeouf. Peter Travers (of Wenner Media) stated the two “couldn’t be duller”. Jason Solomons of The Observer wrote that “we’re first introduced to Rosie via a close-up of her bum, segueing straight from the film’s opening sequence and titles on to the pert buttocks and underwear of our heroine”, and that Huntington-Whiteley’s English posh girl accent “renders her practically unintelligible when surrounded by American accents and falling masonry”. Much of the criticism towards Rosie Huntington-Whiteley compared her in an unfavorable light to Megan Fox. Lou Lumenick said that her “‘acting’ makes…Megan Fox look like Meryl Streep in comparison”. In a positive review, Drew McWeeny of HitFix said, “She reminds me of Cameron Diaz in The Mask, an actress who doesn’t really show off any range, but who gives a natural, winning performance and who is up to the challenge of this particular picture.”
Huntington-Whiteley had her second acting role in the film Mad Max: Fury Road, which was released in May 2015. She played The Splendid Angharad, one of the Five Wives of the warlord Immortan Joe. In order to portray her pregnant character, she wore a prosthetic abdomen throughout the film.
Since 2010, she has been in a relationship with actor Jason Statham. In January 2016, her representative confirmed they had become engaged. Their son Jack Oscar Statham was born on 24 June 2017. In August 2021, she announced they were expecting their second child together. Their daughter Isabella James Statham was born on 2 February 2022.
She used to smoke, as she said in an interview with David Letterman: “I got a work placement at a modelling agency and then I spent the week making coffee and picking up the telephone and smoking cigarettes and drinking wine at 11 AM, it was very Ab Fab“. She last publicly smoked in 2012 and has since quit.
She appeared in 3rd part of Transformers series, i.e. Transformers: Dark of the Moon for her role as Carly Spencer.
She has 3 personal trainers –

I will include how crime has a relationship to the law and the government structure as it applies to the criminal justice system. Components of the Criminal Justice System: In the United States, the criminal justice system has three categories: Federal, State, and Military. In addition to the three categories the state has separate divisions that deal with adult and juvenile cases which are comprised of three major components. 1) Law Enforcement perhaps the most important and dangerous. The responsibilities of the Law Enforcement include finding/capturing individuals who break the laws.
They are responsible for bringing new changes against perpetrators and for ensuring the cases are strong enough to stand up in court. 2) Courts include prosecution and defense lawyers, judges and juries. The responsibility of the courts is to ensure offenders are given a fair trial; all laws are followed while the cases are being tried. Guidelines for a fair sentencing are being followed. 3) Corrections are to uphold and administer sentences handed down. The Corrections system which is intertwined with Law Enforcement and the courts is a very important and large piece of the criminal justice system because t includes jails, prisons, correctional officers, probation officers, and parole officers which ensure that a defendant’s punishment and all of its stipulations are carried out. (Smith, 1999). Components of the Criminal Justice Process: My understanding of the criminal justice process is that a police officer will arrest you because he or she has reason to believe that you committed a felony, misdemeanor, or violation. If charged with a felony or a misdemeanor, the officer must file a complaint in criminal court.
You are held for twenty four hours until you are able to appear before a judge. (west, 1999). If you are charged with a violation you will be released and asked to appear in court at a later date and time. A prosecutor will meet with the police officer to determine if there is sufficient evidence to charge you with a crime. If enough evidence is found to charge you with a crime, then you will meet with a representative from the court to decide whether to set bail, release you from jail without bail, or hold you in jail without bail.
If there is insufficient evidence found than you will be released from jail immediately. After this is done and you are found to have sufficient evidence saying you committed a crime you will then be brought to court for an arraignment a prosecutor will inform you and an attorney if you have one what kind of charges will be brought against you and you have at that time the opportunity to settle your case without a trial.
Your attorney can now negotiate a plea bargain; if you plead guilty. My definition of the word crime: Crime is an act prohibited by law an offence against a public law, a violation of the law in which there is injury to the public or a member of the public. It is also a consensual act or violation in which only the perpetrator is hurt or involved such as personnel use of illegal drugs. A failure to act as required by law, considered morally wrong, a shameful, unwise, or regrettable act.
The commission of an act that is forbidden or the omission of a duty that is commanded by a public law and that makes the offender liable to punishment by that law; especially: a gross violation of the law. It is a foolish or disgraceful act. This is just my opinion on the definition of the word crime. Its relationship to the Law and Government Structure as it applies to the Criminal Justice System: The relationship to the law and government structure as it applies to the criminal justice system is that there must be unity of act and intent to commit a crime.
The structure of the law and government of a crime committed is punishment. All systems must respect the rights of individuals set forth in court interpretation of the U. S. Constitution and defined in case law. State constitutions and laws define criminal justice system within each state and delegate the authority and responsibility for criminal justice to various jurisdictions, officials, and institutions. State laws also define criminal behavior and groups of children or acts under jurisdiction of the juvenile courts.
Municipalities and counties further define their criminal justice system through local ordinances that proscribe the local agencies responsible for criminal justices processing that were not established by the state. Congress has also established a criminal justice system at a federal level to respond to federal crimes such as bank robbery, kidnapping, and transporting stolen goods across state lines. Conclusion: The criminal justice system and the criminal justice progress have shaped the laws of this country into what they are today. The criminal justice system has many components that work together to provide justice for criminals and victims of crime. This enables violators of the law to be prosecuted in a fair trial. This is my understanding of the criminal justice system.

A man drowned Friday afternoon while swimming in Camden.
The 88-year-old man was swimming with his wife at their camp on Beaucaire Avenue on Megunticook Lake about 3:19 p.m. when he went under and didn’t resurface, according to the PenBay Pilot.
Neighbors attempted to rescue the man after hearing his wife’s calls for help, but the water was too deep for anyone to dive and bring him up, the Pilot reported.
A Maine State Police diver later recovered his body in about 10 to 15 feet of water.
The Maine medical examiner’s office in Augusta will determine an official cause of death.


Background: Data on the efficacy and safety of non-invasive Pelvic Circumferential Compression Devices (PCCDs) is limited. Tissue damage may occur if a continuous pressure on the skin exceeding 9.3 kPa is sustained for more than two or three hours. The aim of this study was to gain insight into the pressure build-up at the interface, by measuring the PCCD-induced pressure when applying pulling forces to three different PCCDs (Pelvic Binder((R)) , SAM-Sling ((R)) and T-POD((R)) ) in a simplified model.
Methods: The resulting exerted pressures were measured at four 'anatomical' locations (right, left, posterior and anterior) in a model using a pressure measurement system consisting of pressure cuffs.
Results: The exerted pressure varied substantially between the locations as well as between the PCCDs. Maximum pressures ranged from 18.9-23.3 kPa and from 19.2-27.5 kPa at the right location and left location, respectively. Pressures at the posterior location stayed below 18 kPa. At the anterior location pressures varied markedly between the different PCCDs.
Conclusion: The circumferential compression by the different PCCDs showed high pressures measured at the four locations using a simplified model. Difference in design and functional characteristics of the PCCDs resulted in different pressure build-up at the four locations. When following the manufacturer's instructions, the exerted pressure of all three PCCDs tested exceeded the tissue damaging level (9.3 kPa). In case of prolonged use in a clinical situation this might put patients at risk for developing tissue damage.
Keywords: PCCD; Pelvic circumferential compression device; non-invasive; pressure measurement..

It’s Friday! And it’s spring and it’s sunny and I made yummy donuts! I’m so happy. And because of this, and a lot of people mentioning that they don’t have a donut pan in my previous donut posts, I’m giving away a Norpro 6-Count Nonstick Donut Pan or a $20 Amazon gift certificate for those of you with a donut pan already. Yeah, it’s not much, but I just want to spread the baked donut love around. Details are below.
When Regan at The Professional Palate posted these donuts nine weeks ago, I asked my parents to send me some dried blueberries since they don’t seem to exist in Germany. I only received them yesterday, which happened to be days after finding Trader Joe’s dried blueberries at Aldi. I bought 14 bags. Gosh darn you, German Aldi, for deciding to bring dried blueberries to Germany days before I received my package. I mean, my package could have been filled with sprinkles or cupcake liners or Reese’s or something and instead, I get a 15th bag of dried blueberries. Oh well. Too many blueberries is better than not enough. :)
The first and only thing I’ve made so far with my collection are these donuts. They’re fluffier than a normal cake donut and probably more muffin than donut, but that’s okay. They’re still awesome.
I normally glaze my donuts but I was feeling particularly lazy and just powdered them with a bit of powdered sugar. They were still sweet enough! And if you don’t have dried blueberries, I’m sure fresh blueberries would work too. I’d use maybe 3/4 cup.
I changed a few things in the recipe. I normally end up eating my baked goods alone, so I only made 6 donuts instead of 12. And I made things a bit more lemony because, yeah, I just don’t like the whole grain flavor too much. If you want to make 12, this recipe can be easily doubled.
100% Whole Grain Lemon Blueberry Doughnuts
- Prep Time:
- Cook Time:
- Ready in:
- Yield: 6 donuts
- 3/4 cup (177 ml) water
- 1 1/2 ounces (43 grams) dried blueberries1
- 3/4 cup (90 grams) whole spelt, whole wheat pastry, or whole wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar (I used coconut sugar)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- zest of one lemon
- 1 egg
- 2 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/2 cup (118 ml) buttermilk
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
- Simmer the water and blueberries in a small saucepan until all the water has been absorbed by the blueberries, which will take about 15 – 20 minutes. Set aside and cool.
- While the berries are cooling, preheat your oven to 350 ºF / 175 ºC and grease a donut pan.
- In a small bowl combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, honey, lemon zest, egg, oil, buttermilk and lemon extract.
- Add the dry mix to the wet mix and stir, but just until combined.
- Fold in the blueberries. The mixture will be very runny!
- Pour into the six donut molds. My mixture went almost all the way to the top.
- Bake for 15 – 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the donuts cool for about five minutes in the pan and then turn out onto a wire rack.
- Dust with powdered sugar if you like before serving.
- My blueberries are sweetened. If you’re using unsweetened blueberries, I suggest adding an extra 1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar.

RADICAL solutions, including vouchers, are being considered by Downing Street to tackle the problem of failing inner-city schools.
Schools standards minister Stephen Timms has held a confidential meeting with the Adam Smith Institute, a right-wing think tank, and is said to be "entirely open" about more private-sector involvement in education.
The Prime Minister is known to be an enthusiast. Chris Woodhead, the former chief inspector of schools, says in his book to be published next week that Mr Blair does not suffer from "ideological hang-ups" about privatising education.
It is understood that Downing Street's policy unit is already talking about vouchers which have traditionally been associated with politicans on the right of the Conservative party. Under such a scheme parents would be given vouchers worth a specified sum to spend wherever they choose on their child's education.
Conservative vouchers for nursery education were abandoned by the present Government when it came to power in 1997.
Sources believe that ministers are ready to embrace radical policies and that Mr Timms used the meeting with the Adam Smith Institute to review the options.
On a trip to the US last week, Mr Timms expressed admiration for Republican President George Bush's new education Bill. This does not mention vouchers - a central plank of Mr Bush's election campaign - to ensure Democratic support. But the proposed policy involves them in all but name.
If a school fails to make adequate progress after three years, disadvantaged pupils will be able to use federal funding to transfer to a higher-performing private school or to buy private tuition.
Mr Timms is said to be "intrigued" by controversial ideas such as payment by results for private companies involved in education, particularly in the area of special needs.
This might mean paying firms for raising a child's reading age by one year within a specified time.
He is also keen to learn about models in other countries and has shown particular interest in the Danish system, which allows parents to set up private schools with state subsidies.
Officials at the Department for Education and Skills confirmed that Mr Timms had held a meeting with the Adam Smith Institute but refused to say what had been discussed.
A spokesman said: "The meeting was private, one of many that the minister has with interested parties and advisers all the time. It was an opportunity to hear ideas on education."
Payment by results is already a feature of agreements between the private sector and the local education authorities whose services they run, with firms facing financial penalties for failing to meet targets.
A spokesman for the National Union of Teachers said: "Schools are not markets and children are not products. The market-driven approach to education ignores the broader picture and the need for a wide-ranging education."

With a terrific schedule of action this weekend, you’ll have plenty of choices to entertain your guests. As we always encourage, use the programming you purchase to both entertain your guests and gain their trust. Even one TV showing something obscure can create a loyal guest.
And remember, you can find the listings for every sporting event airing on TV in our Sports TVGuide.
AHHH, NASCAR, FINALLY
This weekend kicks off with the beginning of the NASCAR season and it’s all about the newly renovated facilities at the Daytona International Speedway. With the live practice runs on Friday night, your guests will get their first view of the incredible $400 million worth of upgrades. And that’s not the only thing in NASCAR that got upgrades this year. Check out this year’s preview of the new team paint schemes.
Practice continues during Saturday afternoon, however, the big event is the Sprint Unlimited. It’s the first real racing of the NASCAR season. The Daytona 500 pole qualifier airs on Sunday.
THE NBA ALL-STAR BREAK
With the NFL season officially over, the NBA can now take center stage for sports fans. I always started my efforts to consciously push the basketball season directly after the Super Bowl ended, so we typically used the All-Star Weekend to kick things off.
The game itself should be fairly entertaining. Anytime you get Stephen Curry and LeBron James on the same court it’s worth watching. The weekend kicks off with the Celebrity Game followed by the Rising Stars Challenge on Friday night.
The Skills Challenge and Slam Dunk contest are on Saturday night. It’s not what it used to be, but you can still build events around it to make it extra exciting. Ask your guests to rank the dunks or guess the number of three-pointers made by each all star. It can be just for fun. It’s a primetime program and you should be busy anyway.
Do something when guests don’t expect it and they will remember how much they enjoyed the party.
Bunches of OTHER STUFF
It’s a great week for alternate content that will catch your guests’ attention.
PGA Pro-Am. Starting with one of my favorites: the PGA visits Pebble Beach on Saturday and Sunday. It’s a Pro-Am at the most beautiful golf facility on the planet. Seeing the amateurs play alongside the top PGA players always makes for great afternoon content.
World Baseball Classic. Baseball returns with the World Baseball Classic Qualifiers in Sidney, Australia. These games start a bit late for venues on the east but make for amazing late night content for west coast sports bars and restaurants.
Six Nations Rugby. The second round of the annual 6 Nations rugby competition airs this weekend. All of the games are on Premium Sports (as PPV), but a few games and replays will be on regular TV with replays on beIN. If you’re a Sports TVGuide subscriber, you’ll find the times and stations in your guides.
Westminster Kennel Club. Who doesn’t love dogs? The Westminster Kennel Club invades Madison Square Garden on Saturday night. I know it sounds a bit ridiculous, but your guests love it. Trust me.
US Women’s Soccer. The US Women’s National Soccer Team takes on Mexico in an Olympic qualifier. On the heels of their World Cup victory, there is plenty of interest in the USWNT. Plus, airing the game will show that you are a real Title IX believer.
Big Air: Fenway. You may not know this, but I’m from Boston and I love to ski. So check out the best combination of those things — Big Air at Fenway. Skiing at Fenway Park? The Green Monster looming in the background as competitors jump and flip in the air? Awesome!
There you have it. Remember, it only takes a few extra visits from fans of any specific sport to grow your business. Since you are already paying for the programming, it’s madness not to use as much of it as you can to build your business.
Have a great weekend of live sports.

A strapless sweetheart mermaid lace and tulle wedding dress over a beaded embroidery. Featuring a Mandarin neckline sleeveless lace and tulle jacket. Color: Alabaster/Silver.
Please go to the following link as this dress is still current:
It has three beautiful layers of lace and the embroidery is amazing. The tulle jacket is stunning and looks like it is part of the dress when it is on as the button match and run all the way down the back from the neck however you don’t have to wear it and without it on it looks totally different! I strongly urge you to go and look on the Justin Alexander site (Design number 8641) and see pictures of the dress with and without the Tulle Jacket. You can have two totally different looks on your wedding day!!!!! I don’t have great skin on my back so this dress was perfect for me to cover that area, as I was worried it would be bad on the day.
I fell in love with this dress the moment I put it on, it made me feel so glamorous and gave a very vintage look. Very very Classy!
The size of the dress is an American 16. I had the dress altered (taken in and up but I’m sure it can be taken out a bit if you should need to) I was 5ft 6, 34A bust and wore 1 inch heals. It’s a fishtail shape so very figure hugging from the chest down to the thighs and then fans out. The lace detailing is just phenomenal and worth every penny.
I had a button put on the back of the dress so that I could hook up the beautiful train to walk around and dance in the evening.
The dress has been dry cleaned by a professional and has no stains or marks.
I will include a matching custom made elbow length veil. I special ordered matching lace and had the veil made to match.
If you are very seriously interested you are welcome to contact me with any questions that you may have.

To say Woodstock High School Choral Director Paul Rausch is busy this time of year is an understatement.
In addition to the performances he directs for WHS — including the school’s holiday choral concert and Madrigal dinner — for the past 15 years, Rausch has led a community choir in a performance at the annual Lighting of the Square. The group is comprised of students from WHS, Woodstock North High School, Creekside Middle School and Northwood Middle School. Adults, including WHS alumni, also join in.
The choir rehearses on Mondays throughout the month of November leading up to the performance.
“We have kids return from college, rehearse with us one time, see their friends and reconnect,” Rausch said. “They really appreciate our town once they leave. They realize it’s a wonderful place.”
This homecoming of sorts is something Rausch treasures.
“Especially at the holidays, Woodstock has the feel of a Norman Rockwell painting come to life,” he said. “… It’s a picture of Americana.”
While Rausch is retiring from WHS at the end of this school year, he noted this may be his last year directing the choir at the Lighting of the Square.
“Or it may not,” Rausch quickly added. “It’s such a magical night that we get to help create … to look out and see all the children’s faces. It really is a great view. And we enjoy giving back to the community.”


The Blue Door is the premier listening room and performing arts venue on the Georgia Coast. Located in historic Brunswick within the Golden Isles, you will experience the finest regional and national touring artists in an intimate and beautiful atmosphere.

The following was written by one of his daughters:
"Jehial Saxton resided at Bristol until the fall of 1818, when he with his family removed to Newburgh, Ohio, being six weeks on the road. He bought a farm five miles from Cleveland; cleared enough of it to build a log house, windows without glass. Deer, with other wild game and cornmeal was their principal food until land could be cleared and crops gotten in. His family at this time consisted of five children; there were no schools, but he with two other neighbors built a log schoolhouse, and the three hired and boarded the teacher among them. Mrs. Saxton had inherited her father's resolution to a marked degree and it was through her hopefulness and helpfulness that her husband was enabled to pass through those discouraging years of pioneer life." (Severance, B. Frank. Genealogy and biography of the descendants of Walter Stewart of Scotland and of John Stewart who came to America in 1718 and settled in Londonderry, N.H. Greenfield, Mass. : T. Morey & Son, 1905, pg. 87-88).

21 June 2005 IT services provider Electronic Data Systems (EDS) is to sell its management consulting firm AT Kearney to a third-party, after plans for a management buyout fell through.
EDS executives said in May 2005 that the consulting firm could be unbundled to Kearney’s partners by the end of this year, but will now look to sell the unit to a third party, claiming this is in the best interests of both EDS and AT Kearney.
The decision to sell the unit is part of EDS chairman Michael Jordan’s plans to refocus the group on its core businesses and to recover from several high-profile project failures. Jordan classified A.T. Kearney as “noncore” after taking over the ailing group from ousted chief executive officer Dick Brown in 2003.
According to the Wall Street Journal a likely purchaser is consulting firm Monitor Group, a company half the size of Kearney.
EDS acquired A.T. Kearney in 1995, but struggled to integrate the unit into its core outsourcing culture. The resulting culture clash has produced disappointing performances for both groups – in 2004 AT Kearney posted a $10 million loss and contributed only 5% to EDS’s total revenues.
The sale is unlikely to affect any EDS customers, says Julie Giera, vice president at Forrester Research. But, EDS and Kearney are likely to maintain an ongoing relationship because EDS cannot afford to scrap the progress it has made in indirect procurement business process outsourcing, she says.
The sale will allow A.T. Kearney to rebuild its business away from the watchful eye of public traded company EDS and its analysts.

Earlier this week, I wrote a column that discussed the five-minute video recently released by Conservative Party of Canada Leader Pierre Poilievre. The video begins with him asking this question: “Do you ever feel like everything’s broken in Canada?,” but is devoted mostly to his perception of the addictions crisis that many Canadian cities are experiencing.
His addictions discussion has been widely condemned in the media as dangerous, deceptive and exploitive, but none of the analysis thus far has focused on the words Poilievre ends the video with. He says this: “It feels like everything’s broken in Canada. The good news is we’re going to fix it.”
Is he right? Is everything broken in Canada?
The facts tell a completely different story. For example, Canada ranked first in the world last year for highest quality of life, and the IMF says we have one of the world’s highest standards of living. Three Canadian cities — Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto — rank among the top 10 “most liveable” cities in the world. Out of 146 countries surveyed, Canada is the 15th-happiest.
Among G20 nations, we rank first for peace and second for democracy. We also rank sixth in the world for well-being and third for environmental quality.
Despite our small population, we have the sixth-highest number of universities ranked in the top 500 in the world, just behind China but ahead of Japan and South Korea. Canada has the most-educated talent pool in the OECD, with 60 per cent of Canadians between 25 and 64 having received post-secondary education. One in five Canadians speaks more than one language.
U.S. News and World Report ranks Canada third among all countries for racial equity, while the United Kingdom ranks 13th and the US ranks 54th. We rank fourth for our “freedom level” and 13th in “fundamental rights” (the U.S. ranks 37th). Our criminal justice system is ranked 12th in the world, with America far behind in 30th place.
Among the top 20 “strongest national brands,” BrandFinance ranks us at the top of the list, saying that “Canada boasts one of the highest brand perceptions scores, with excellent marks across both international and domestic audiences. With a stable economy and one of the highest standards of living in the world, Canada has a strong advantage in brand investment, and its brand performance has remained relatively high thanks to flexible COVID-19 policies.”
With so much focus on the economy and inflation, the most recent data shows Canada has the third-lowest inflation rate among G7 nations. Canada also ranks third among G7 countries with respect to the ease to start a business and the likelihood to attract the most investment in the next three years. Indeed, the Economist Intelligence Unit says Canada will be the best country in the G20 for doing business over the next five years.
Canada’s tax treatment for new business investment is the lowest in the G7, and its combined federal-provincial statutory corporate income tax rate is also one of the lowest in the G7. We rank fourth among G20 countries in terms of the least complex jurisdiction for conducting business, and first among G7 countries for our supportive business environment. We are the best in the G7 for “ease of paying taxes and low total tax burden for small- to medium-sized companies.”
All of that information is easily available on the internet via credible sources. I could add another 400 words of categories where Canada is at or near the top of the list, but you get the point: Canada is indisputably not broken.
Yes, we have issues that require more work, and we are struggling to respond to the many challenges caused by the COVID pandemic, climate change and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But so is every other nation — and we have the highest quality of life and best image in the world.
To paraphrase former U.S. president Bill Clinton, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Canada that can’t be cured with what is right with Canada.
Given the facts set out above, why would Poilievre say Canada is broken if it isn’t? Why would he say things that are demonstrably untrue and contrary to the national interest?
It’s all about politics and ambition. He knows he will never be prime minister unless he can convince the millions of Canadians that it’s time for a change, and that happy people don’t want change.
That’s why Poilievre is peddling his bag of division, despair and disillusionment. That’s why he wants you to believe that Canada is a mess, and that he is the only leader who can clean that mess up; the only leader who can “Make Canada Great Again.”
He’s wrong. We don’t need Poilievre to make Canada great again, because all those rankings you just read prove what we, and the rest of the world, already know: Canada has never stopped being great.
We are far ahead of whoever is in second place. Don’t let a schemy, ambitious politician tell you otherwise.

Rwanda, Sudan, South Sudan, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Cambodia, Fiji, Georgia, Philippines, Serbia, Taiwan.
What do these countries have in common?
They are the only countries where people -- on the whole -- believe that corruption has decreased over the past two years, according to Transparency International's 2013 Global Corruption Perceptions report.
It is an interesting list, in that there is not much to tie the countries together. Rwanda, Cambodia, Georgia and the Philippines have experienced very good GDP growth over the past few years. But GDP fell by 11% in Sudan in 2012 and by 4.5% in 2011. In South Sudan, GDP supposedly fell by a stunning 55% in 2013. Meanwhile, Azerbaijan achieved solid, but unspectacular growth over the past two years, and Belgium and Serbia were stagnant.
These countries range across continents and regions as well. Rwanda and the Sudans are the only African countries represented. Belgium is the only OECD country on this list. No Latin American countries made the list.
Georgia was likely helped by a surprisingly smooth and peaceful transition of power.


Ford Mustang Mach-E Coming With Over-the-Air Updates
【Summary】To ensure owners of the Mach-E always have an up-to-date vehicle, Ford will introduce over-the-air updates for the electric SUV.
The Ford Mustang Mach-E is a lot of things for the automaker. It's the brand's first real attempt at a modern electric vehicle, an expansion on Ford's iconic Mustang family, and proof that the American brand can keep up with fresher startups. While the Mustang Mach-E's name is controversial, what Ford is trying to do with the SUV isn't. With that being said, technology is going to be a huge part of the electric SUV.
Ushering In Wireless Updates
To ensure owners have the latest and greatest features and performance out of their Mustang Mach-E, Ford will offer the electric SUV with over-the-air updates. Apparently, the wireless updates go beyond ensuring the SUV has the latest SYNC infotainment features, but will apply to entirely new features and even performance uprades. It's all possible because the majority of computer modules in the Mustang Mach-E are capable of being updated wirelessly.
Depending on what kind of update Ford is pushing out, some will be invisible to customers. Owners will be able to select a regular time for when the vehicle updates itself – like in the middle of the night when the car's not in use – so the car can do its thing without interrupting owners. Other updates will occur "almost instantly after a customer starts their vehicle," claims the automaker. The majority of updates will take less than two minutes to complete and can be done in the background of the infotainment system, while ones that require the vehicle to remain at a stop for a lengthy period can be scheduled at a time that's more convenient for owners. Regardless of when updates occur, owners will be notified of when updates will occur.
The first set of wireless updates will occur within the first six months from when deliveries of the Mustang Mach-E begin.
Will Other Fords Have OTA Updates?
"The beauty of the Mustang Mach-E is that what our customers experience on day one is just the beginning – it will evolve to add even more features and capabilities over time," said John Vangelov, connected services manager, Ford Motor Company. "Our clever over-the-air updates also minimize downtime through incredibly fast activation and ensure your Mustang Mach-E is always getting better, even when you're asleep."
While the Mustang Mach-E will be the first Ford to be offered with over-the-air updates, it certainly won't be the last. The automaker's latest SYNC 4 infotainment system that's set to debut on a few redesigned vehicles shortly will also have the feature. Ford hasn't stated which vehicles will come with SYNC 4 yet.
Wireless updates are still a relatively new thing for automakers. Tesla was the first automaker to introduce the technology on its lineup of electric vehicles. BMW recently incorporated the technology into a few of its vehicles. Beyond that, over-the-air updates aren't all that common place. For Ford, offering the capability on the Mustang Mach-E reveals just how high-tech the automaker wants the car to be.

Sublime indulgence in southern Funen
The iconic hunter’s chairs are no longer to be found in front of the fireplace in the inn’s main hall – the first thing to catch your eye when entering Southern Funen’s Falsled Kro. The chairs were destroyed in connection with a serious burglary at the inn in late 2016. Nonetheless, a peaceful calm quickly falls upon us as we take our places in front of the fireplace on new Børge Mogensen chairs, armed with a glass of champagne and the season’s first lumpfish roe. The meal itself takes place at a large table with thick white tablecloths as the warmth of the open hearth radiates throughout the inn, and where waiters donned in sleeve garters kindly and discreetly serve us. Time stands still here – in a good way. Falsled Kro is old-school luxury, as are the plates sent out of the open kitchen by Chef Per Hallundbæk. A wood-roasted onion peel with smoked sweetness conceals razor clams and sea snails below, in a rich and creamy clam sauce. Every bite is absolutely delicious. A cut of steamed cod – wonderfully firm in structure – is served with fried kohlrabi leaves and a crisp roll of raw kohlrabi with oysters that provides full and salty minerality with an intense watercress sauce to tie the dish together. The generous body and rich quince aroma of a viogner from Château de Beaucastel proves a nice pairing with the oysters – an often difficult feat. Fried duck hearts with a mountain of highly aromatic black winter truffles, morel cream and 36-month Comté provide umami with small acidic explosions of pickled golden beets. The sommelier’s only misstep here is a rather lukewarm blaufränkisch. Our disappointment dissipates as a “pigeon chop” of perfectly pink roasted breast and thigh of pigeon, forged together with chicken mince and caul fat, arrives at our table. The chop is an aesthetic work of genius that seduces the eye with its size and brown-glazed presentation. The condensed meat flavour is accompanied wholeheartedly by porcino mushrooms and an intense demi-glace seasoned with warm Christmas spices. The rich flavours are joined with the bitterness of red cabbage and much-needed acidity from quince, pickled mustard seeds and green grapes, while a Spanish tempranillo served at the proper temperature matches the dish with spicy oaked intensity and dark berries. The dish powerfully demonstrates that this agrarian Southern Funen kitchen is still running like a well-oiled machine. The inn’s garden supplies year-round produce to the kitchen, which is keen to pickle and preserve for the winter months. When the inn’s legendary cheese cart rolls up to our table, we take the last few steps up to heaven. Our waiter knows the story behind each of the 35 well-ripened cheeses, all at the right temperature and the majority are French and unpasteurised. We are welcome to taste them all, he adds. Three glasses of wine for the challenging cheese board prove a boisterous but prudent choice. Among these is a sancerre whose grassy aroma and crisp acidity make it a perfect companion with the fresh goat’s cheese. Coffee and exquisite homemade chocolates by the fire round off a nearly perfect experience. Falsled Kro is by all means worth a trip...

Finca Wedding In Puglia
Welcome to paradise – or enjoy Alexander and Catherine´s elegant finca wedding in Apulia. Where on this day the sky seems brighter and the sea clearer than anywhere else in the world. Where the flowers of the local flora are even more magnificent and the art of simple architecture is even more impeccable.
It´s a long-cherished dream, which has finally come true for the young bride and groom, knows wedding photographer Elisabeth Van Lent: „Alexander and Catherine’s dream was to get married in an intimate setting in Italy, in Puglia. This region of Italy is even more sunny than popular Tuscany, it also has the beautiful olive trees, but it stands out with the beautiful full white masserias, in contrast to the old, often darker Tuscan villas. It looks more fresh and Southern, which is the exact reason why the couple chose this region.“
And it was this unique charm that became the red, or rather the green, thread of this wedding, which moved through the entire location and became visible on lovingly arranged details such as the richly laid table for four. Atelier Rozemarijn’s stationery also adhered to the color palette dominated by green tones and blended seamlessly into the picture of pure perfection.
However, this culminated in the extravagant newlyweds themselves, as groom Alexander in a stylish green suit with soft pink boutonniere held his enchanting bride Catherine in his arms, who looked simply stunning in her seductive lace dress by Errico Maria . This sight will remain unforgotten even for the guests of the bride and groom…
„In the beautiful Masseria Parco Della Grava, there were just enough rooms for their guests, everything was just perfect for their full, Italian party. And with the amazing organisation and styling of Art’Anna Weddings & Events, as well as the gorgeous floral design by Lots Flower Art, it was picture perfect.“photographer Elisabeth Van Lent raves.
For us, she has chosen the most impressive and beautiful shots of this wedding, to let us participate in this loving and romantic wedding.

Accurate aircraft wind measurements using the global positioning system (GPS)
High accuracy measurements of the spatial distribution of wind speed are required in the study of turbulent exchange between the atmosphere and the earth. The use of a differential global positioning system (GPS) to determine the sensor velocity vector component of wind speed is discussed in this paper. The results of noise and rocking testing are summarized, and fluxes obtained from the GPS-based methods are compared to those measured from systems on towers and airplanes. The GPS-based methods provided usable measurements that compared well with tower and aircraft data at a significantly lower cost. 21 refs., 1 fig., 2 tabs.

When Kansas became a territory it was illegal to sell any of the land; it belonged to the native peoples, to whom it had been promised when they moved there. Even before Kansas became a territory, U.S. Indian Agent George Manypenny was in Kansas negotiating new treaties with Native Americans. Under these treaties Native Americans in Kansas lost most of their lands and were forced to move to the remaining Indian Territory in what is now Oklahoma. By the 1870s almost all Native American land in Kansas had been ceded to the United States, and by 1880 all but a very few Native Americans had been forced out of Kansas. In many cases the treaties were not needed. White settlers moved to Kansas, encouraged by federal laws that allowed them to purchase the land they lived on—even if they had occupied the land illegally. The United States also encouraged settlers in Kansas and elsewhere by refusing to expel whites who trespassed on Native American lands. Once settlers were certain that the U.S. government would not remove them, migration increased dramatically. Native Americans resisted as best they could; fighting between whites and Native Americans in western Kansas was especially vicious. Whites, however, continued to settle in Kansas.
As the demand for land increased in the early 1850s, the Congress of the United States considered plans to open Kansas to white settlement and to create a territorial government. Numerous bills were introduced in Congress to create a Nebraska Territory that would include both the Kansas and Nebraska regions, but each was defeated.
Then, in 1854, Congress passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which created separate Kansas and Nebraska territories. It also allowed territorial inhabitants to decide for themselves whether to allow slavery in the territory, thus repealing a provision of the Missouri Compromise of 1820 that had prohibited slavery in the territories north of latitude 36°30’ (except Missouri). The bill was sponsored by U.S. Senator Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois. By opening up what had been Native American country to white settlement, Douglas and other Northern leaders hoped to encourage construction of a transcontinental railroad through their states rather than through the Southern part of the country.
(The portion of the railroad built in Kansas became the Union Pacific Railroad.) Instead the bill encouraged both the proslavery and antislavery factions to rush to Kansas as fast as possible to prevent the other factions from securing political control of the new state. The Kansas-Nebraska Act greatly increased the tension between North and South in the years before the American Civil War (1861-1865).
On May 30, 1854, President Franklin Pierce signed the Kansas-Nebraska Act creating the two new territories. Andrew H. Reeder of Pennsylvania was appointed the first governor of Kansas Territory, which included a considerable part of present-day Colorado. In 1855 the governor chose Pawnee, on the present-day Fort Riley Reservation, as the territorial capital. "Kansas" © Emmanuel BUCHOT, Encarta, Wikipedia
