Commenting on the five-year plan, Carne continued: “It is an ambitious, but realistic plan that is not without challenge, but with great people working together in great teams, it can deliver the better railway that a better Britain needs.”

I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but I wager you'll find it interesting anyway. Consider the statements:


(Strong Dirichlet) For each $m>0$ and each $a$ relatively prime to $m$, there exist infinitely many primes $p \equiv a \pmod m$.


(Weak Dirichlet) For each $m>0$ and each $a$ relatively prime to $m$, there exists at least one prime $p \equiv a \pmod m$.


Suppose on the other hand that WD holds, but not SD. We will derive a contradiction, which will show that WD implies SD.


If WD holds, but not SD, then there exists an $M$ and an $A$ such that $(M, A)=1$ and there are finitely many primes $p \equiv A \pmod M$; let $S$ be the set of these primes. Let $q>M$ be a prime large enough such that there exists a congruence class $B\not\equiv 0 \pmod q$ different from all elements of $S \pmod q$. Then, the simultaneous congruences


have no solution $p$ prime: the first imposes that $p \in S$, and the second rules it out. By the Chinese Remainder Theorem, these equations are equivalent to an equation of the form


with $(C, qM)=1$, which has no solution; but this contradicts our assumption WD. Therefore WD implies SD.


So, modulo this elementary argument, it's just as hard to prove that there are infinitely many primes $p \equiv a \pmod m$ for any $(a,m)=1$ than it is to prove that there is always at least one such prime.


Is it easier to believe WD than SD? Personally I don't think so - what's left to believe anyways once you've internalised Dirichlet's proof?

Add to your soundtrack this summer, explore more about Horsefly’s annual Arts on the Fly event, July 13-15 2018


Making Horsefly your home base, you can do a beautiful and historic drive in a morning (of course, after breakfast at the Cornerhouse Cafe), or in an afternoon.


Starting in Horsefly is fitting since the first gold in the Cariboo was found there, prompting B.C.’s great gold rush.


The discovery was made 16 kms above the mouth of the Horsefly River in 1859, pre-dating the Barkerville Gold Rush. Horsefly is located along B.C.’s Cariboo Wagon Road and Gold Rush Trail, that starts in New Westminster and loops up to the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast region reaching 100 Mile House, Williams Lake, looping off to Horsefly, Likely, (that’s really the town name) Wells and Barkerville, up to Prince George and back down through Quesnel.


Here are three points of interest, with some great photo ops and history lessons, that you’ll want to plot out on the map:


(Driving time: 1 spin of Sweet Old Religion, and hit replay on the title track a couple times to optimize your in-car sing-along duets)


You can take the main road, aptly named Back Road, to the Bullion Pit Mine Lookout, turning off the highway at the giant yellow bulldozer. The main attraction is two giant hydraulic guns that looked out over the remnants of what was once the largest hydraulic placer mine in the world.


Everywhere you look in the forest there are old structures being reclaimed by nature that served an industrial purpose a hundred years ago.


Back in the car, soundtrack blaring while cruising down Likely Road, I head to the shores of the peaceful and placid Quesnel Lake which flows out into the Quesnel River. Likely is one of the few other surviving towns from the Cariboo Gold Rush days.


There’s a hotel with a cafe and pub, post office, and further south is camping at Cedar Point Provincial Park and the Cedar City Museum. This is a good spot for a pit stop before heading up the gravel road to Quesnel Forks.


Founded in 1860, and commonly known as “The Forks,” what’s left of this town (about a dozen wooden structures and cabins) sits along the convergence of the Quesnel and Cariboo Rivers, 11 kms northwest of Likely.


You can park at the Visitor Centre, read information signs, and start strolling. Walk past the cemetery, which while eerie, tells you about the people who lived here, including the strong Chinese population that boomed all over the region during the Gold Rush. The last resident left The Forks in 1954.


Old road signs give you an idea of the layout of the city, and placards in front of houses, hotels, and stores - or what’s left of them - tell the rest.


The town is fenced (just walk through some saloon-style gates to enter) to preserve the buildings, but outside the fence is a campground with riverside camping and an accessible trail.


Abandoned machinery at a mine site, log houses melting into the landscape and the rushing river, there’s so much history in this region that seems to be dissolving in front of our eyes. Thanks to volunteers for their restoration and educational efforts, we can still enjoy these places, today.


Make your way back to Horsefly, in time for dinner at the Soul Food truck along the Horsefly River or to catch the 50+ musical acts performing on four stages for Arts on the Fly. Dip your road-tripping toes in the river, sit back, and enjoy the sights and sounds of the Cariboo.


Search #ExploreCariboo for more travel inspiration. Be sure to tag #ExploreCariboo while checking out the region. You might just be featured on our social media channels.

If you want to get fancy about it, rent a truck (not one that says U-HAUL-IT or other rental markings) and make the pick-up with moving-man-type uniforms. When schools are on strike and students hold seminars and debate into the night, Yippies can be found going through the dorm lobbies and storage closets hauling off couches, desks, printing supplies, typewriters, mimeos, etc. to store in secret underground nests. A nervy group of Yippies in the Midwest tried to swipe a giant IBM 360 computer while a school was in turmoil. All power to those that bring a wheelbarrow to sit-ins.


Check into a high-class hotel or motel remembering to dress like the wallpaper. Carry a large dummy suitcase with you and register under a phony name. Make sure you and not the bellboy carry this bag. Use others as a decoy. When you get inside the room, grab everything you can stuff in the suitcase: radio, T.V. sets (even if it has a special plug you can cut it with a knife and replace the cord), blankets, toilet paper, glasses, towels, sheets, lamps, (forget the imitation Winslow Homer on the wall) a Bible, soap and toss rugs. Before you leave (odd hours are best) hang the DO NOT DISTURB sign on your doorknob. This will give you an extra few hours to beat it across the border or check into a new hotel.


Landlords renovating buildings throw out stoves, tables, lamps, refrigerators and carpeting. In most cities, each area has a day designated for discarding bulk objects. Call the Sanitation Department and say you live in that part of town which would be putting out the most expensive shit and find out the pick-up day. Fantastic buys can be found cruising the streets late at night. Check out the backs of large department stores for floor models, window displays and slightly damaged furniture being discarded.


Construction sites are a good source for building materials to construct furniture. (Not to mention explosives.) The large wooden cable spools make great tables. Cinderblocks, bricks and boards can quickly be turned into a sharp looking bookcase. Doors make tables. Nail kegs convert into stools or chairs. You can also always find a number of other supplies hanging around like wiring, pipes, lighting fixtures and hard hats. And don’t forget those blinking signs and the red lanterns for your own light show. Those black oil-fed burners are O.K. for cooking, although smoky, and highway flares are swell for making fake dynamite bombs.


Fixing Church starts at the beginning -- What did Jesus really say about Church? Why is his first message to a congregation all about blessing? How does my church bless me? Do I bless others when I spend my time in church? And most importantly, How can my congregation become Church with a capital C?

Most people are expected to pay something towards the cost of their care. One of our staff (called a Financial Assessment Officer) will talk to you about your financial circumstances to decide how much you will need to pay. This is called a financial assessment.


We will arrange to complete a financial assessment by either speaking to you over the telephone or by visiting you. We will ask you about:


any money you receive that could be considered as income, for example if you get rent for a property you own (we don't count any prison allowances you may get)


The assessment officer will work out the maximum amount you may need to pay per week towards your care. This is called your financial contribution.


We will also ask you to nominate someone who may have access to your finances and documents to assist us - this could be a family member or friend.

Thanks for that information on the new Browser string. We've spotted a few of those over here from Samsung, LG, ASUS & of course Microsoft.


I have to be honest, I'm not entirely familiar with those older UA strings. However, since they contain references to MSIE 6.0, I would say that you should not use the IEMobile portion to pinpoint the version of the browser.


We're doing a bit of a reset on the UA string, so you essentially need to check for "Windows Phone OS" and an IEMobile/X where X is >= 7 to see if it's the modern mobile version of IE.


I have really hoped that you guys would use the IE9 rendering engine, so that developers did not have to create all sorts of tweeks and mods to get their webpages displaying properly. It seems extremely odd that Microsoft have spent so much time advocating for W3C standards with the IE9 browser and then release a mass market phone with an IE7-8 engine, so that developers once more can waste billions of dollars trying to make the webpages look good in every non-acid/non-w3c-complaint "***" of a browser rendering engine.


@jesus: Our old method of building the mobile browser by taking the previous version and hacking it down is being phased out. You can expect to see closer releases of IE desktop and mobile in the future.


@Andre I think that IE mobile 7 doesn't look at the "handheld" type. You can use conditional comments for this – I will have a post soon.


Any news on the conditional comments for IE mobile 7? Is it possible to distinguish between desktop IE7 and mobile IE7?


Any news on the conditional comments for IE mobile 7? Something that targets just the mobile IE7 and not the desktop?


Earlier this month I made a New Year's Resolution, that I'm going to learn to use unix a little bit better. Well, so far I've made some good progress as in the past week I have been starting to get used to the sed command.


I find it quite handy; how did I ever get along without it? The one thing that's annoying is that it isn't pcre-compliant. That would make it a lot easier for me to use. I end up having to string multiple sed commands together in order to get it to work properly.


I understand there is a pcrsed command, but it's not installed on the machine I use at work where it would be useful to me.


For the second consecutive year, Gartner has named Oracle ERP Cloud a Leader in its 2018 Magic Quadrant for Cloud Core Financial Management Suites for Midsize, Large and Global Enterprises. We're pleased to make this report available to our readers with our compliments.


Gartner assesses vendors' Ability to Execute by evaluating the products, technologies, services, and operations that enable them to be competitive, efficient and effective in this market, and that benefit their revenue, client satisfaction and retention, and general reputation.


Marketing Execution: This criterion assesses the clarity, quality, creativity, and efficacy of programs designed to convey the vendor's message, in order to influence the market, promote a brand, increase awareness of products, and establish a positive identification in customers' minds. This "mind share" can be created by a combination of publicity, promotions, thought leadership, social media use, referrals, and sales activities. Each vendor is also assessed on its ability to market its offering to finance buying centers, such as CFOs and financial controllers.


Customer Experience: This criterion assesses the vendor's products, services, and programs in terms of how they enable customers to achieve expected results with the products evaluated. Considerations include the quality of technical support for vendor-buyer interactions and account support. Also assessed is the vendor's ability to make its marketing vision a reality and help finance teams complete the transition from on-premises to cloud deployment.


In the 2018 Magic Quadrant, Gartner positioned Oracle ERP Cloud highest for its ability to execute. We believe this is based on the product’s leading functionality, as well as Oracle’s global capabilities, financial standing, and strong partnerships.


But it’s not just product that provides a better customer experience. Over the past several years, as we have transitioned to a cloud company, Oracle has taken concrete steps to improve the customer experience—including accelerated buying cycles and customer success managers to help with every cloud project.


In the Critical Capabilities report, we believe Gartner recognized the advancements we’ve made in the way of deployment and integration. This is particularly important with ERP, as it connects to nearly every other enterprise system—including human resources, supply chain management, and customer experience. Oracle offers a complete, connected suite of software-as-a-service applications across all these lines of business—something that our competitors can’t match.


While not discussed in detail in either Gartner report, we believe innovation is at the heart of the Oracle Cloud. Our applications are updated every quarter with the latest emerging technologies, uses cases, and best practices built into the software. Your ERP is never out of date—something that an astonishing 81 percent of Oracle survey respondents cited as a top benefit of moving to ERP in the cloud.


Oracle already has offerings around each of the above technologies. Our nearest competitors only have roadmaps—and many don’t even have those.

While I don’t intend on ‘kicking the bucket’ anytime soon, I love the idea of bucket lists— finding new things to try, places to visit and adventures to have.


It doesn’t need to be filled with grand plans of faraway places, in fact I think it’s good to always include things that are close to home, free to do or which make your day-to-day life happier and more enjoyable.


But be warned, writing bucket lists can be addictive and despite how many things I cross off, the list continues to grow.


Hello there via Wanderlust… now that’s a long bucket list… I’m just turned 51 and have done quite a few of those… some of my top lifetime treats I’d never have known about to put on a list though… one of my faves ever was scuba diving off Zanzibar and I’d never have put that on as I didn’t know it was so good there. Sigh… you’ll most often find me shopping for food for the starving kids these days. Please do take me on some of your adventures, am a keen armchair traveller.


This is an awesome bucket list. Funny, I just read somewhere else that someone hates bucket lists because they are constantly adding to it and it is never completed. I love it – why not dream big and have some audacious goals (and realistic ones too).

1256766  reasonably relevant to the demanding shareholder’s interest as a shareholder.” N.C. Gen. Stat.§ 55-16-02 Op. ¶25 (quoting Official Comment 3).


Showing a "proper purpose" is virtually a gimme for a shareholder alleging that improper transactions by the corporation have occurred, as Sharman was claiming with regard to the Defendant corporation. The Comment to the statute says that:


[a]s a practical matter, a shareholder who alleges a purpose in general terms, such as . . . to determine whether improper transactions have occurred, has been held to allege a ‘proper purpose.


But that doesn't guarantee a victory for the requesting shareholder. The corporation can rebut the claimed proper purpose by showing "that the shareholder is motivated by some improper purpose." Fortran took a run at that, claiming that one of the requesting shareholders, who had a judgment against the corporation, was trying via his inspection request to compel it to pay the debt and force a shareholder buyout. Fortran also said that the requesting shareholders might have the improper purpose of gathering information for a derivative action.


As to the derivative action argument, Judge Bledsoe said that "obtaining corporate records to investigate and prepare a derivative action is not improper and generally encouraged." Op. ¶28. In fact, fifteen years ago, Very First NC Business Court Judge Tennille said that: "[f]ailure to use inspection of books and records may result in a finding that [a derivative] suit was not meritorious when filed." In re Quintiles Transnational Corp. Shareholders Litig., 2003 NCBC 11 at ¶28.). Judge Bledsoe didn't spill much ink on whether Plaintiffs' requests had a direct connection to their proper purpose. Instead, he focused on whether they met the "reasonable particularity" requirement. "Particularity" is a word that gets a lot of attention in the world of civil procedure. Rule 9(b) of the NC Rules of Civil Procedure requires that fraud claims be stated with "particularity.". When you are taking a Rule 30(b)(6) deposition, the matters on which the deposition is requested must be identified with "reasonable particularity." The NC Business Court requires trade secrets claims to be framed around trade secrets identified with "sufficient particularity." Aecom Technology Corp. v. Keating, 2012 NCBC 10 at ¶19.


What those words mean in the context of a shareholder inspection request are “that the designation be sufficient to apprise a man of ordinary intelligence what documents are required ." Op. ¶32 (quoting Parsons. supra, 333 N.C. at 429, 426 S.E.2d at 691).


That is addressed on a case by case basis, but the Opinion outlines a few things that a shareholder is not entitled to receive in a records request.


Plaintiffs had asked for "all records relating to a specified board action. Even though that might be "reasonably particular," the statute says that a "qualified shareholder is entitled to “[r]ecords of any final action” by the board of directors or a committee of the board ― not “all records relating to any board action.” Op. ¶33 (referencing G.S. §55-16-02(b).The result on this one might be different under the Model Act, which refers to "excerpts from minutes." The drafters of the NCBCA substituted the words "final action taken" for "excerpts from minutes"with "the intent of excluding discussions and preliminary actions by the board and its committees." Op. ¶33.


Plaintiffs tried to narrow the range of one of their requests (for all records relating to Fortran's CEO's use of Fortran assets for his own personal benefit) by identifying specific transactions in their Motion to compel inspection. Judge Bledsoe said that "our courts are clear that the Court’s assessment of “reasonable particularity” must focus on the Qualified Plaintiffs’ actual demand, not on any subsequent court filings." and denied that particular request. Op. ¶36.


Plaintiffs had also requested for financial statements older than three years. Judge Bledsoe said that request was "contrary to applicable law and denied it. See N.C. Gen. Stat. § 55-16-01(e)(5)(requiring retention of “the financial statements required to be made available to shareholders for the past three years”)." Op. ¶38.


A qualified shareholder meeting the necessary requirements of G.S. §55-16-02(c) is entitled to inspect the "accounting records" of the corporation. N.C. Gen. Stat. §55-16-02(b)(2). What are those?


According to the Official Comments to the statute, they are: "records that permit financial statements to be prepared which fairly present the financial position and transactions of the corporation.” Op. ¶39. That's not very enlightening, but the NC COA has said that:


accounting records. . . are generally defined as ‘the formal journals and ledgers, and the vouchers, invoices, correspondence, contracts, and other sources or support for such records[.]


That may leave you wondering what exactly an "accounting record is." All you can take away from the Sharman Opinion is that "general ledgers" are included (Op. ¶39) and that "communications relating to" UCC filings are not. Op. ¶40.


A qualified shareholder is entitled to "[t]he record of shareholders of the corporation." N.C. Gen. Stat. §55-16-02(b)(3).


Judge Bledsoe held that "a fair reading of the statute would require that the list include alphabetically the names and business addresses of shareholders and the number of shares held by each." Op. ¶42 (quoting Russell M. Robinson, II, Robinson on North Carolina Corporation Law § 10.03[4] (7th ed. 2017)).


Shareholders should have the same opportunity to communicate with other shareholders as the corporation does. Op. ¶¶41-44.


Plaintiffs also recovered some of their attorneys' fees in pursuing their inspection requests. I would write about that, but this post has been way too long already. suffice to say that fees "shall be" awarded under G.S. §55-16-04(c):


unless the corporation proves that it refused inspection in good faith because it had a reasonable basis for doubt about the right of the shareholder to inspect the records demanded.


Fortran was unable to show that it had a reasonable basis for doubt. Op. ¶49. The amount of fees to be awarded will be dealt with at "a later date" by the Business Court. Op. ¶52(b)(vii)


The Chancellor has tasked the Office of Tax Simplification (OTS) with a review of IHT. A scoping document has now been published which provides a little more insight on the direction of travel.


The technical, rather than administrative, questions posed by the review may cause alarm for family-owned businesses. Phillip Hammond hinted at this in his correspondence with the OTS when he referred to distortions to taxpayers' decisions because of the current IHT framework. The complexity of IHT reliefs (read: Business Property Relief (BPR) and Agricultural Property Relief (APR)) and whether they (and other aspects of the IHT rules) impact upon "investments, asset prices or the timing of transactions" are firmly within scope of this review.


There has been speculation for some time that the Government is considering options for reform of the key IHT reliefs. Last year the Government undertook a review of patient capital, and concluded that whilst BPR would remain under review (as all reliefs are) it was "committed to protecting the important role that this tax relief plays in supporting family-owned businesses, and growth investment in the Alternative Investment Market and other growth markets". At the time, we wondered whether the type of changes that could come under consultation would include the way that the “trading” test is applied to these reliefs; a review of the interaction of IHT relief and the CGT uplift that occurs on death; or an extension to minimum holding periods. It is hoped that the Government’s recent sentiment counters the murmurings that all IHT reliefs could be scrapped in favour of a lower rate of IHT.


HMRC also published a research paper around the time of the Autumn Budget which reviewed the awareness of testators, beneficiaries and advisers of BPR and APR, and the use made of these reliefs in practice. The research showed that amongst interviewees who own or inherited assets qualifying for BPR and APR, their decisions were primarily influenced by wanting to keep estates or businesses intact, and pass them onto their family. The role of BPR and APR was generally seen as a way to allow that to happen; few taxpayers acquired assets specifically to take advantage of the reliefs. This research along with the conclusions from the patient capital review will be useful reference points should the objectives of the review broaden from one of simplification.


That’s not to say that there aren’t some positives that can come from this review. Many of the exemptions and thresholds have not kept pace with inflation, meaning more and more taxpayers are caught within the IHT net. Making the process easier for them or in the words of the OTS, improving their “user experience”, can only be a good thing.


{The Office of Tax Simplification, an independent adviser to the Treasury, has been urged by the chancellor to come up with proposals to simplify the tax, to ensure it is fit for purpose and to make


1256767  chiefs of the Yankton, Omaha, Oto & Missouri tribes. In 1806, Pierre was commissioned by the U.S. War Department, as sub-agent on the Missouri and western tributaries of the Upper Mississippi River. He apparently died on 23 July 1810 at Petite Rocher, below St.Louis.


He was the son of Pierre Dorion I & a Yankton mother, born in a Yankton village in todays Dakotas. He married Marie Aioe Laguivoise(1786-1850)(also know by Marie Aioe Dorion Venier Toupin) and their children were; Paul (b.1808/09), Jean Bte.(b.1812/13) & an un-named baby born 29 December 1811 while enroute from St.Louis to Astoria on the Pacific coast (this baby died within a month). After Pierre's death she married Joseph Venier and later to Jean Toupin.


On 29 August 1804 Pierre II is with a large band of Yankton, who meet the Lewis & Clark expedition on the Missouri just above the mouth of the James River when he is mentioned in the expedition journal; "...At four o'clock in the afternoon Sergeant Pryor and his party arrived on the opposite side, attended by five chiefs and about 70 men and boys. We sent a boat for them and they joined us, as did also Mr.[Pierre] Durion, son of our interpreter, who happened to be trading with the Sioux at this time...". In 1809 he served as an interpreter on the Missouri River for Manuel Lisa and in 1811 journeyed west with the land expedition (led by Wilson P.Hunt) of American Fur Co. Lisa obtained a warrant against Dorion in the spring of 1811 for a unpaid debt that Pierre had incurred as a former employee at Fort Mandan. In summer of 1813 he left Astoria with a group led by John Reed to Snake River Country and spent the winter of 1813/14 on the Boise River in Idaho. Gabriel Franchere's journal describes finding Pierre's wife and two boys on the Upper Columbia River while on his return journey to Canada from Astoria. Pierre's wife describes the attack (10 Jan.1814) on Reed's wintering party (which left Reed, Dorion, Jacob Regner, John Hubbough, Gilles Leclerc, Francois Landry, J.B.Turcotte, Andre Lachapelle & Pierre De Launay dead) and her escape the previous January.


He was the son of Pierre Dorion II & Marie Aioe, born according to one source in Beaverhead, Montana. He married 1st.to My-Horse-Comes-Out-Horse (Fasvhimpiimi) & 2nd.to Mary Atoktisau. He died on the Iowa/Sac/Fox Reservation in Doniphan Co., Kansas.


He was the son of Pierre Dorion II & Marie Aioe and married Josephte Cayuse/Kiaus in Washington in 1845. He died in Oregon in 1849.


He was the son of Pierre Dorion I & Holy Rainbow, born in Illinois. In July of 1815 he was a signer of a treaty at Portage des Sioux with the Dakota. In 1837 he assisted missonary M.Merrill in translating, "The History of Our Lord Jesus Christ", in to the Otoe, Ioway & Missouri language.


He was engaged (listed as being from L'Assomption) by McTavish, Frobisher & Co. for the Grand Portage trade in 1797.


He was hired by la Compagnie du Nord-Ouest for "servir comme Matelot pendant trois ans." (to serve as a sailor for 3 years), in 1798.


Hired by James H.Lockwood (American Fur Co.) for the trade above Prairie du Chien for the 1819/20 season.


Both were hired by the American Fur Co. for the trade on the Upper Mississippi River in the 1818/19 season.


In December of 1835, Kenneth McKenzie, writes Jean Bte.Cabanne from Fort Union, "I have written Mr.Chouteau to engage Martin Dorion, but if you will take the trouble you are much more likely to effect it for me." And in another letter to Messrs.Pratte Chouteau & Co, "I am anxious you should engage Martin Dorion. I cannot say at present whether he will be wanted for this post or the Sioux, of course it will be immaterial to him which post he winters at."


In September 1836 he was present for a treaty with Zachory Taylor (Colonel in U.S.Army & future President) & the Santee & Yankton.


In June of 1839 he joined a party at Ft.Pierre on the Missouri, consisting of Joseph Nicollet, John Fremont, Charles Geyer, William Dickson, Louison Freniere, Etienne Provost, Jacques Fournaise, Francois Latulipe, Joseph Chartran, Louis Zindel, William May, and several others not mentioned, on their way north to Devil's Lake than reaching Lac qui Parle (at Joseph Renville's fort) on August 25. "...joining the party was Pierre Dorion, probably a descendant of "old" Pierre Dorion, Sr., the interpreter who had accompanied Lewis and Clark through the Dakota country..." (from Joseph Nicollet's journal of his 1838-39 expeditions for the U.S. government).

Joseph Dorion, born in Québec City , the 19 march 1717 and baptized at Notre-Dame de Québec church the 5 April 1717, father Pierre Dorion and Geneviève Chappau. He passed a marriage contract the 10 august 1749 and got married the 22 august 1749 to Marie Anne Padoka, widow of Louis Pichard ( is said also Padoka Des Ricaras ).

Imagine if the world did not have artists. What do you think it would be like? Such works as the Leonardo’s Mona Lisa, Monet’s Water lilies and Van Gogh’s Starry Night would not exist. There would be no art galleries or museums to hold works of art of the past. Forms of artistic expression would not exist. Life would certainly be pretty boring without us artists, wouldn’t it?


Artists have moulded our society. We have changed cultures and even shaped history. Art has had an influence on industries, politics and business – and every aspect of modern life.


But, as you know, the effect of artists reaches much further than just the fine arts. Fine arts includes visual arts, music, theater, writing, architecture, dance, poetry, etc.


This includes movies, television, books, magazines, video games, furniture, product labelling, car manufacturing, hair styling, fashion, tattooing and just about everything one can imagine. Artists are needed nearly everywhere.


Personally, I don’t think I could live without art. Art for myself has been a form of expression and release of emotions. It is what I am inspired by and write about every day. Everything I do involves art in some way.


The best answers to this question will be published within this post. Please provide a name and website address so we can properly credit you (optional).

I don't see how there could possibly be a world that included humans and not have art...

Art is an inescapable part of who we are and how we interpret our world and explore possibilities. ART IS INEVITABLE.


Here is a link to a slideshow featuring an artwork titled, "Seasons of the Soul". It originated as doodles in a sketch pad and it wasn't until some time later that I realized the stick figure doodles were telling a story.... As it turns out, a very universal story. Since Seasons of the Soul was published as a lithograph in the early 90s, thousands have connected with it and shared it with others. I can't help but wonder if it didn't just bubble up from the depths of the collective unconsciousness... through me. Perhaps the figures were originally drawn on a cave wall somewhere in time. - Stephanie E. Robinson


"I think it would be boring, plain, unattractive and unimaginative. Our homes would be stark, bare, the same as everybody else... The walls and tables would be empty, the dishware would be plain, there would be clear glass instead of stained or cut glass. Uck! Thank goodness for art and artists! We need to appreciate artists more. - Rose Stites


Surely that would mean we do not exist; as art is the definition of 'human being'. The cave paintings were the evidence of a creature with self awareness. Art continues to be the reflection of the human condition. Art: a continuing threat (or tool...?) to powers who wish to control, restrict and manipulate thought. The ultimate free spirit.


A world without art: Surely this would mean that 'human' ceases to exist. Cave paintings defined the human being as being self aware. Art continues to be a reflection on the human condition in it's whole spectrum. Art continues to be a threat (or tool...?) to powers wishing to control, manipulate and restrict thought. Art is the ultimate freedom in it's endless variety.

Finally, a subset of climate modelling involves Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs). These add aspects of society to a simple climate model, simulating how population, economic growth and energy use affect – and interact with – the physical climate.


IAMs produce scenarios of how greenhouse gas emissions may vary in future. Scientists can then run these scenarios through ESMs to generate climate change projections – providing information that can be used to inform climate and energy policies around the world.


In climate research, IAMs are typically used to project future greenhouse gas emissions and the benefits and costs of policy options that could be implemented to tackle them. For example, they are used to estimate the social cost of carbon – the monetary value of the impact, both positive and negative, of every additional tonne of CO2 that is emitted.


If the previous section looked at what is inside a climate model, this one focuses on what scientists put into a model and get out the other side.


Climate models are run using data on the factors that drive the climate, and projections about how these might change in the future. Climate model results can run to petabytes of data, including readings every few hours across thousands of variables in space and time, from temperature to clouds to ocean salinity.


The main inputs into models are the external factors that change the amount of the sun’s energy that is absorbed by the Earth, or how much is trapped by the atmosphere.


These external factors are called “forcings”. They include changes in the sun’s output, long-lived greenhouse gases – such as CO2, methane (CH4), nitrous oxides (N2O) and halocarbons – as well as tiny particles called aerosols that are emitted when burning fossil fuels, and from forest fires and volcanic eruptions. Aerosols reflect incoming sunlight and influence cloud formation.


Typically, all these individual forcings are run through a model either as a best estimate of past conditions or as part of future “emission scenarios”. These are potential pathways for the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, based on how technology, energy and land use change over the centuries ahead.


Today, most model projections use one or more of the “Representative Concentration Pathways” (RCPs), which provide plausible descriptions of the future, based on socio-economic scenarios of how global society grows and develops. You can read more about the different pathways in this earlier Carbon Brief article.


Models also use estimates of past forcings to examine how the climate changed over the past 200, 1,000, or even 20,000 years. Past forcings are estimated using evidence of changes in the Earth’s orbit, historical greenhouse gas concentrations, past volcanic eruptions, changes in sunspot counts, and other records of the distant past.


Then there are climate model “control runs”, where radiative forcing is held constant for hundreds or thousands of years. This allows scientists to compare the modelled climate with and without changes in human or natural forcings, and assess how much “unforced” natural variability occurs.


Climate models generate a nearly complete picture of the Earth’s climate, including thousands of different variables across hourly, daily and monthly timeframes.


These outputs include temperatures and humidity of different layers of the atmosphere from the surface to the upper stratosphere, as well as temperatures, salinity and acidity (pH) of the oceans from the surface down to the sea floor.


Models also produce estimates of snowfall, rainfall, snow cover and the extent of glaciers, ice sheets and sea ice. They generate wind speed, strength and direction, as well as climate features, such as the jet stream and ocean currents.


More unusual model outputs include cloud cover and height, along with more technical variables, such as surface upwelling longwave radiation – how much energy is emitted by the surface back up to the atmosphere – or how much sea salt comes off the ocean during evaporation and is accumulated on land.


Climate models also produce an estimate of “climate sensitivity”. That is, they calculate how sensitive the Earth is to increases in greenhouse gas concentrations, taking into account various climate feedbacks, such as water vapour and changes in reflectivity, or “albedo”, of the Earth surface associated with ice loss.


A full list of common outputs from the climate models being run for the next IPCC report are available from the CMIP6 project (the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6, or CMIP6; CMIP is explained in more detail, below).


Modellers store petabytes of climate data at locations such as the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and often make the data available as netCDF files, which are easy for researchers to analyse.


Climate models are used by scientists to answer many different questions, including why the Earth’s climate is changing and how it might change in the future if greenhouse gas emissions continue.


Models can help work out what has caused observed warming in the past, as well as how big a role natural factors play compared to human factors.


Scientists run many different experiments to simulate climates of the past, present and future. They also design tests to look at the performance of specific parts of different climate models. Modellers run experiments on what would happen if, say, we suddenly quadrupled CO2, or if geoengineering approaches were used to cool the climate.


Many different groups run the same experiments on their climate models, producing what is called a model ensemble. These model ensembles allow researchers to examine differences between climate models, as well as better capture the uncertainty in future projections. Experiments that modellers do as part of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Projects (CMIPs) include:


Climate models are run over the historical period, from around 1850 to near-present. They use the best estimate of factors affecting the climate, including CO2, CH4, and N2O concentrations, changes in solar output, aerosols from volcanic eruptions, aerosols from human activity, and land-use changes.


These historical runs are not “fit” to actual observed temperatures or rainfall, but rather emerge from the physics of the model. This means they allow scientists to compare model predictions (“hindcasts”) of the past climate to recorded climate observations. If climate models are able to successfully hindcast past climate variables, such as surface temperature, this gives scientists more confidence in model forecasts of the future


Historical runs are also useful for determining how large a role human activity plays in climate change (called “attribution”). For example, the chart below compares two model variants against the observed climate – with only natural forcings (blue shading) and model runs with both human and natural forcings (pink shading).


Natural-only runs only include natural factors such as changes in the sun’s output and volcanoes, but they assume greenhouse gases and other human factors remain unchanged at pre-industrial levels. Human-only runs hold natural factors unchanged and only include the effects of human activities, such as increasing atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations.


By comparing these two scenarios (and a combined “all-factors” run), scientists can assess the relative contributions to observed climate changes from human and natural factors. This helps them to figure out what proportion of modern climate change is due to human activity.


The IPCC’s fifth assessment report focused on four future warming scenarios, known as the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios. These look at how the climate might change from present through to 2100 and beyond.


Many things that drive future emissions, such as population and economic growth, are difficult to predict. Therefore, these scenarios span a wide range of futures, from a business-as-usual world where little or no mitigation actions are taken (RCP6.0 and RCP8.5) to a world in which aggressive mitigation generally limits warming to no more than 2C (RCP2.6). You can read more about the different RCPs here.


These RCP scenarios specify different amounts of radiative forcings. Models use those forcings to examine how the Earth’s system will change under each of the different pathways. The upcoming CMIP6 exercise, associated with the IPCC sixth assessment report, will add four new RCP scenarios to fill in the gaps around the four already in use, including a scenario that meets the 1.5C temperature limit.


Control runs are useful to examine how natural variability is expressed in models, in the absence of other changes. They are also used to diagnose “model drift”, where spurious long-term changes occur in the model that are unrelated to either natural variability or changes to external forcing.


If a model is “drifting” it will experience changes beyond the usual year-to-year and decade-to-decade natural variability, even though the factors affecting the climate, such as greenhouse gas concentrations, are unchanged.


Model control runs start the model during a period before modern industrial activity dramatically increased greenhouse gases. They then let the model run for hundreds or thousands of years without changing greenhouse gases, solar activity, or any other external factors that affect the climate. This differs from a natural-only run as both human and natural factors are left unchanged.


Climate models include the atmosphere, land and ocean. AMIP runs effectively ‘‘turn off’’ everything except the atmosphere, using fixed values for the land and ocean based on observations. For example, AMIP runs use observed sea surface temperatures as an input to the model, allowing the land surface temperature


1256770  One notable example of an NPE is based on the Nortel Networks patent portfolio. Nortel was an industry leader in telecommunications, investing many billions of dollars in R&D. After failing in the market, Nortel declared bankruptcy and subsequently sold thousands of patents to an NPE created by a consortium that included Apple, Microsoft, Sony and BlackBerry. The price of this 2010 sale was reported at $4.5 billion (£2.8 billion). While this result was not the intended purpose for Nortel when the patent portfolio was being established, it demonstrates how a quality portfolio can meet changing corporate needs.


There are many other uses for intellectual property. Patents and other assets can be used in financing business. Investors will often look to the IP portfolio in valuing a business and evaluating creditworthiness. Patents are often used as collateral for loans. In these instances, a quality patent portfolio will typically have a large volume of patents, as financial transactions often use portfolio size as a proxy for the overall value or quality of the portfolio.


A quality patent portfolio includes a number of individual high-quality patents. Many entities overlook this point, being lulled into thinking of patents as fungible assets, especially given that quality cannot readily be deduced without understanding the particular invention and how it relates to what has been done previously and the context in which the patent is to be exploited. In view of this challenge, some rely on objective, readily determined characteristics (eg, number and length of claims, number of other patents that cite the patent under consideration or drafting costs associated with filing). While useful for a broad-brush assessment, this does not provide an in-depth analysis of whether and to what extent this patent will meet long-term business objectives.


The single most important characteristic of a quality patent is a quality invention. Inventors that come up with ideas that are commercially useful provide the opportunity to create valuable patents. Unsurprisingly, the easiest patents to obtain are directed to inventions that provide no commercial benefit, since it is unlikely that others will have previously patented or published these ideas. These patents are also the least valuable on their own, since it is unlikely that others will use these ideas in the future. These less valuable patents serve little purpose other than to build a large portfolio at a smaller cost.


The first step in identifying the best inventions is having innovators identify and communicate their ideas to those who will decide how to proceed. Once an invention is identified, a patent application is prepared and will ultimately issue into a patent that will provide a right to exclude others from making, using or selling the invention. What can be excluded is defined by a set of claims that are included in all patents. Since the claims define the rights, they are considered the single most important portion of a patent.


In determining what can be excluded, one must consider the industry and how the players interact. For example, who will infringe the patent? The choices may be the maker of a component, the maker of a system that uses the component or the end user of that system. These entities may be competitors, customers or vendors. The manner in which the invention is presented will provide a determination of who will or will not infringe. Ideally, each patent claim will be implemented by a single entity.


Another question that must be considered is whether the invention is detectable in an end product. Perhaps companies in the relevant industry publish data sheets or white papers. Can the invention be detected from these documents? Alternatively, can the products be reverse engineered to determine whether the product uses the patented invention? If the invention is undetectable, consideration must be given as to whether a patent should be applied for at all. In some instances, trade secret protection may be a better alternative for protecting undetectable inventions.


Another consideration is how easily the invention can be avoided or designed around. In a perfect world, a patent claims an invention in a manner that covers all possible implementations of the invention. However, patent laws relating to novelty, obviousness and definiteness can create barriers to this ideal goal. This is because patents are awarded only for inventions. When a patent is written to cover all possible implementations, it is possible that some implementations were already invented by others, thus violating the boundary of what is novel (or unobvious) and therefore patentable. A quality patent will include claims that push up against this boundary of what is already known and other claims that are safely separated from the boundary.


Developing a quality patent portfolio entails accepting the reality of uncertainty and developing a strategy to minimise the adverse effect of not knowing the future. Such a strategy is based on diversifying the risk across numerous patents and wisely investing resources.


The limitations set by one’s budget will limit the number of ideas to pursue for patent protection. An organisation should invest the most resources into those ideas that are most likely to be commercially significant. The next tier of ideas can be patented on a more limited basis. For example, a simple patent directed to the most likely implementation might be sufficient for the second-tier ideas. The first-tier ideas, on the other hand, preferably receive far greater attention.


The geography of the industry must also be considered. The expense necessary to seek patents for all ideas in all countries is unjustifiable in most instances, a problem exacerbated by the need for translations. Instead, one must review where sales are significant and where competitors are producing products, both now and into the future. Another consideration is the enforceability of the patent in a given country. Some countries have limited IP protection. Accordingly, selected patents should then be filed in countries focusing on these factors.


The organisation must also evaluate ongoing success in a particular area. For example, a company may be a latecomer to a particular area, and consequently be a patent laggard. At this point, one can look outside the organisation, for example, by purchasing or licensing intellectual property from others. Identifying these areas early can lead to the ability to obtain assets at a more reasonable cost.


Patent portfolios must be periodically monitored for effectiveness and strategy must be adjusted accordingly. Different tools are available for evaluating the success of patent portfolios. Beyond comparing the patents to the product mixes of the company and its competitors, external resources can provide indicia of quality. For example, companies such as Ocean Tomo have indices to rank relative quality of various patents and patent portfolios. These evaluations can provide insight as to whether adjustments in one’s own portfolio strategy should be made.


A high-quality patent portfolio is one that meets patent owners’ business objectives both in the short term and the long term, and that can retain its relevance and value even as technology, business constraints and applicable law change over time. With an emphasis on identifying the best ideas and inventions, practising strategic prosecution techniques and keeping abreast of developments in industry and law, one can develop and maintain a patent portfolio that fully meets these criteria and hence ranks as a high-quality patent portfolio.

"Relationships among Teacher Support, Peer Conflict Resolution, and School Emotional Experiences in Adolescents from Shanghai" by Wang, Li-Jun; Wang, Wen-Chung; Gu, Hai-Gen; Zhan, Pei-Da; Yang, Xin-Xiao; Barnard, Julian - Social Behavior and Personality: an international journal, Vol. 42, Issue 1, January 1, 2014 | Online Research Library: Questia


Relationships among Teacher Support, Peer Conflict Resolution, and School Emotional Experiences in Adolescents from Shanghai


The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) was developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). PISA surveys are undertaken every three years in countries around the world, to assess reading, mathematics, and science achievement among national samples of 15-year-olds, and to gather information from the principals of the schools that students attend (OECD, 2010, 2013a, 2013b). In the 2009 PISA tests (OECD, 2010, 2013a), 15-year-old secondary school students in Shanghai achieved the best results by far since the year 2000, scoring 556 in reading, 600 in mathematics, and 575 in science. Although the cognitive development of teenagers in Shanghai is thus exceptional in international studies, the level of their emotional and behavioral development remains unclear. Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being characterized by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy, and is a principal goal of the human experience (Diener, 2000; Parks, Della Porta, Pierce, Zilca, & Lyubomirsky, 2012). Happiness reportedly contributes to physical and psychological health and has been shown to coexist with success (Lyubomirsky, King, & Diener, 2005; Stiglbauer, Gnambs, Gamsjäger, & Batinic, 2013). Happiness can increase an individual's perceptions of their strengths and virtues, creating, in turn, more success and happiness for himself/herself (Fredrickson, 2001).


Previous researchers (e.g., Cauce & Srebnik, 1990; Chu, Saucier, & Hafner, 2010) have reported three main factors in the happiness of children and adolescents: family, school, and peers. Family support, teachers, and school support, as well as student-student support construct the social climate that satisfies the human need for relatedness. Support for this interpretation is derived from self-determination theory, in which it is stated that individuals have three fundamental developmental needs - relatedness, competence, and autonomy - and that the satisfaction of these needs is essential for an individual's psychological growth and well-being (Deci & Ryan, 1985, 2000; Reeve, 2004; Ryan & Deci, 2000). Typically, individuals seek to satisfy these needs through interaction with their environment. Thus, if students feel meaningfully connected to, and accepted by, teachers and classmates - that is, if they have supportive relationships with others at school - their need for relatedness will be satisfied.


Similarly, in the school setting both teacher-student and student-student relationships create the school interpersonal climate. Students' perceptions of the school environment and its impact on their psychosocial and academic adjustment have received increasing attention in recent years (Jia et al., 2009). Teacher-student and peer or student-student relationships have been widely researched (Allen, Porter, McFarland, McElhaney, & Marsh, 2007; Baker, Grant, & Morlock, 2008; Bru, Murberg, & Stephens, 2001; Murdock & Bolch, 2005) as an important factor in conflict among students, which is a frequent occurrence in schools (Johnson & Johnson, 1996). Conflict is a problem situation for student-student relationships and is significant as the resolution of peer conflict affects adolescent happiness, communication satisfaction, and other emotional experiences. Few researchers have focused on this topic, so we proposed the first hypothesis regarding how different conflict resolution strategies impact emotional experiences. We proposed that peer conflict resolution, such as human problem solving, and different resolution behaviors could bring about different emotional experiences.


Positive affects facilitate creative problem solving (Isen, Daubman, & Nowicki, 1987). When a positive experience also causes positive emotions this is in contrast to successful problem solving when a positive experience also causes positive emotions. Lazarus and Folkman (1984) suggested that there are two types of coping responses: emotion focused and problem focused. …

"To Offset Refi Slump, Amro Revs Up Relocation Lending" by Shenn, Jody - American Banker, Vol. 168, Issue 225, November 21, 2003 | Online Research Library: Questia


Because refinancings are on the wane, ABN Amro Mortgage Group Inc. is moving some salespeople from customer retention to relocation lending, its senior vice president for business development says.


The Ann Arbor, Mich., lender will transfer 20 to 25 loan officers to the production channel that courts corporate employees who are moving, Marc Strampel said. The officers' current job is to ensure that borrowers whose loans are serviced by ABN stay with the company when they refinance.


The transferred staff will supplement six mortgage consultants who are already trained in the specific needs of relocating employees.


Mr. Strampel's division also offers mortgages through affinity groups. In addition to the sales force, about 15 employees handle back-office operations.


It is relatively easy to expand relocation staff, Mr. Strampel said, because "it's not a matter of bringing new people on, it's a matter of redirecting staff in a new direction."


Transferred employees need to be retrained, however, and it will take time to generate enough volume to replace lost refis, he said. "It's not like you can just walk over to the wall and flip off one switch and flip on another."


ABN hopes to fund $250 million to $500 million of relocation mortgages next year, up from $50 million this year.


In 2000 it acquired Executive Relocation Corp. in Chicago as part of its purchase of Michigan National Corp. …
