Women and Children Suffer at the Hands of Illegals While ICE Held Back

According to one recent story, seven more illegal immigrants since this past July have been arrested for rape and oh yes, those arrests have occurred in an Anti-ICE county. This doesn’t mean that the ICE agency would have prevented this from happening but the truth is, they were never allowed to try.

Imagine a crime happening and knowing you could have prevented it. Try to get your head around the idea that some violent and evil crimes shouldn’t have even been possible but our laws made it so. Well, not all of our laws and in this scenario, it is about Democrat spearheaded laws that interfere with ICE operations.

That was the scene and as our aforementioned story reports, anti-ICE and progressive Montgomery County in Maryland has suffered as a result. To be specific, many innocent women and children have suffered at the hands of seven suspected rapist who are also illegal immigrants. These are the very types of crimes the President campaigned about and the type of horror he is fighting to end.

President Trump isn’t anti-immigration, he is anti-illegal immigrants. The President’s immigration plan has been three-fold. He has been working to build the much needed and often talked about the wall at the Mexico border. That is to keep those with bad intentions out.

He wants to improve the immigration process (because he supports immigration) to make it better and safer, for everyone. That will help screen out the unwanted while bringing in more talented and hardworking people.

And he has been working to empower and equip ICE agencies across the country. That is to help find and remove those who are already here, who shouldn’t be.

Of course, not everyone is one board with the President and his immigration policies but as our story reminds us, the consequences of not taking action can be unthinkable. Unbelievably, these stories and crimes haven’t slowed the push and Democratic leaders like Joe Biden have even spoken out against Trump’s immigration stance. According to the story, he said regarding border detention centers, “close them down. We don’t need them.” And Biden along with many on the left have rallied support for open borders.

The Trump War Room responded saying, ‘Joe Biden just joined the rest of the radical open borders Democrats and said he wants to “close down” detention facilities. This is his solution to the illegal immigration crisis? Extreme! (Also, why didn’t he do anything about it when he was VP?).’

Good question. Maybe because he wasn’t running for President of the United States?

The Democrats have done more damage than simply rally support for open border policies and shutting down detention centers too. Despite being warned about the risk of what new Democratic legislation would do to impede the work and progress of ICE agencies, places like Montgomery County adopted them anyway. The count as of July was seven. That is seven illegal immigrants to be charged with rape and sexual misconduct. If that isn’t really enough for the Democrats, how about this small piece of information about the victims. Some of their ages were as follows, 11-years-old, 12-years-old and 15 and 16-years-old.

Instead of the ICE agency in Maryland being empowered to do its job, as the President intended, it has to work around hurdles and Democratic legislation to do the work it must. The kind of work of rooting out people like this and keeping Americans safe. The very thing that didn’t happen to these victims in Wheaton, Rockville, Silver Spring, and Germantown.

It has been suggested that those opposed to the President’s immigration policies and agencies like ICE are creating legislation merely as an effort to confront and stand-up to the President. The problem is, while Democratic politicians and legislators are trying to make their power felt and agendas heard people are suffering as a result.

The immigration issue isn’t a political one, no matter how badly the other side of the aisle wants it to be, it is an issue of security. There is a reason why ICE is a branch of our nation’s Homeland Security Department and there are seven more reasons in Maryland that demand that we let them do their jobs.

Endowment campaign makes new benches possible

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Two brand new park benches now greet visitors to the YWCA Gettysburg & Adams County.

“The benches were funded through the Preserving Our Legacy Endowment Campaign, which was designed to ensure that the YWCA itself is maintained for generations to come,” said YWCA board member Jane Lordeman. “The key to continuing programs at the YWCA is to maintain in good working order our facilities that house those programs. As with any 35-year-old building, repairs are costly and have a major impact on our finances. If we raised our rates every time we needed a new roof, replaced a pool-pack or resurfaced the racquetball courts, we wouldn’t be affordable to the community we serve.”

Generous donations from the Margaret Trew Cline Foundation, Sharon Cline Magraw, the Thomas L. Cline Foundation and the family of Muriel L. Rice made the park benches possible.

“The wonderful thing about endowment gifts is that the donor’s gift continues to give,” Lordeman added. “Every dollar donated to the campaign has been invested to generate many more dollars in the years to come. These contributions are invested in perpetuity and only the earnings of the fund are used for repairs.”

Gifts to the YWCA Endowment Fund are always welcome. Please contact Executive Director Dotty Dalphon at 717-334-9171, ext. 124 or email ddalphon@ywcagettysburg.org

[zcc] m4 macro processor added to build sequence

Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2016 9:33 pm
by alvin
Effective with the Sept 23 build, zcc will invoke m4 to pre-process files of the following types:

foo.c.m4 -> output from m4 becomes .c
foo.s.m4 -> output from m4 becomes .s
foo.asm.m4 -> output from n4 becomes .asm
foo.h.m4 -> output from m4 is immediately written to the destination directory as a .h file. This allows files listed after foo.h.m4 in the source list to use this .h file in the same compile.

zcc can take any files of those types to any stage in the compile process, just like it does with other file types.

A few flags have been added to zcc specific to m4 processing:

-m4 : zcc will process m4 files and stop, writing the results to the destination directory
-CmOPTION : zcc will pass OPTION to the m4 command line

Note that filenames of the form "foo.ext.m4" may be processed and written to the output directory as "foo.ext" depending on flags given to zcc. For example the file "foo.c.m4" will be output as "foo.c" after m4 has processed it if zcc is given the -m4 flag on the command line. This means you should not use files of name "foo.ext" to store other source code as those files may be accidentally overwritten.

I am thrilled to announce that I’ll be joining National Journal full-time a week from tomorrow as a web producer for Hotline.

From my new office at The Watergate (yes, that Watergate), I’ll be working with Hotline Editor-in-Chief Scott Bland and the amazing political team there to cover every national political race.

Hotline is a paywalled, customizable, subscriber-only product covering all 435 Congressional races as well as each election cycle’s batch of Senate and gubernatorial contests, providing “exclusive insight on politics, polling, and campaign developments culled from more than 2,500 media sources, as well as campaign finance reports from the Federal Election Commission.”

And I’ll be putting it all together. I’m charged with combining the phenomenal reporting of the staff and presenting the news our readers need to know about the races they care about.

This is nothing less than a dream job coming out of school. It’s truly an honor, just after graduation from American University, to stay in my home of four years, Washington, D.C., and dive head-first into national political reporting. I’ve always respected Atlantic Media, my new employer, for its dedication to producing excellent and thought-provoking journalism through its many brands, including The Atlantic, Quartz, The Wire, Government Executive Media Group and more.

What happens (or doesn’t happen) in Washington depends on what happens in your home district. I can’t wait to get started.

My last assignment for The Washington Post involved going to the D.C. Superior Court to report on a federal official’s arraignment.

The former president of American University’s Student Government, Sarah McBride, was recently profiled in Metro Weekly. In the feature by Justin Snow, Sarah talks about her experience with myself and the rest of The Eagle staff immediately after her coming out.

“Sarah McBride: The Next Generation Awards 2014”

After telling other family and friends, including Delaware Gov. Jack Markell, over a fourth-month period, McBride was contemplating how to come out to the broader American University community. Not wanting the second half of her term as president to be overshadowed by her transitioning, she waited until it was nearly finished. She decided on a Facebook note, and within an hour the editor of the student newspaper [Zach Cohen] walked into her office.

He wanted to know two things. Should the paper be using her new name, Sarah, and female pronouns? “Absolutely.” And would she consider condensing her Facebook post as an op/ed for the next day’s issue?

“I remember walking into the student newspaper office after I’d posted this online, so word had already gotten out. I remember everyone just sort of staring at me. No one knew what to do as I walked back into the editor’s office to condense my Facebook post. But when I came out of there everyone had big smiles on their faces and people gave me hugs,” she recalls. “It really was nothing but love and support.”

In a time that has seen high-profile journalists like Katie Couric and Piers Morgan face criticism for how they’ve conducted interviews with transgender celebrities, McBride says the students at The Eagle acted exactly “how we want the media to be when covering trans issues.”

My latest for the obituary section.

“I feel it’s a little ironic after having worked in Moscow and Vietnam and Beirut — to find my Pulitzer in a little town in North Carolina,” Mr. Coughlin said in 1990. “It says if you set your standards high enough, you can be just as good as big-town newspapers.”

‘First lady says kids pay a price for the Washington life’

Obama fields questions, and a pitch, from kids

First lady Michelle Obama acknowledged Thursday that the children of White House workers pay a price for all their parents do to help the president.

“We know how much you guys sacrifice because your parents work here,” Obama said. “You know, for many of you, I know it’s hard when your mom and dad [say:] ‘You know, I’m going to miss dinner tonight because I have to work late,’ or ‘There’s a meeting on Saturday, so I’ll miss your game,’ or ‘I have to travel next week, and I might not be able to get to that recital.’

Listen local: Pretty & Nice

October 24, 2008

Following up on yesterday’s post about the Indie Music Survival Guide, and how I want bands that I like to keep making music…

Boston band Pretty & Nice had a sobering run-in with one of their musical heroes:

This may be the most telling anecdote about modern rock ever: A new band with a seemingly bright future meets one of its idols – a guy signed to a major label with 15 years of storied records and tours under his belt – and he’s managing a Jiffy Lube in Boise, Idaho….

The bright new band: Pretty & Nice, which plays a CD release show for its new album “Get Young” Sunday at Great Scott. The idol: Built To Spill bassist Brett Nelson.

“We met Brett at the Jiffy Lube he manages in Boise.” said Holden Lewis. “I came out from paying and was wondering, ‘Who’s this guy talking about touring?’ The whole interaction was about 30 seconds long, but he came to our show in Boise that night and invited us to their Boston show last month.”

The article focuses how what it means to ‘make it’ in the modern music industry, and how the days of being wildly successful (a là KISS and their ilk) are pretty much over. Hugh Dillon‘s character in Hard Core Logo says of his bandmate, “Billy wants the models and limousines, while I’m happy with hookers and taxicabs,” and it looks like it might be all cabs, no limos from here on out. There are clear parallels to other media, and how they are becoming increasingly niche-oriented: instead of everyone sitting in front of their TV watching Dallas on a major network, we moved to the 500-channel universe, and then to watching clips on YouTube. Music seems to be going in the same direction – instead of relatively few bands that are massive and ubiquitous, there’s a complete ecosystem of bands thriving in a wide range of niches. At least, I hope that’s how it plays out; I really need to keep going to shows and buying CDs, Pretty & Nice’s in particular…

Uniform Commercial Code

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), first published in 1952, is one of a number of Uniform Acts that have been established as law with the goal of harmonizing the laws of sales and other commercial transactions across the United States of America (U.S.) through UCC adoption by all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the Territories of the United States.

While largely successful at achieving this ambitious goal, some U.S. jurisdictions (e.g., Louisiana and Puerto Rico) have not adopted all of the articles contained in the UCC, while other U.S. jurisdictions (e.g., American Samoa) have not adopted any articles in the UCC. Also, adoption of the UCC often varies from one U.S. jurisdiction to another. Sometimes this variation is due to alternative language found in the official UCC itself. At other times, adoption of different revisions to the official UCC contributes to further variation. Additionally, some jurisdictions deviate from the official UCC by tailoring the language to meet their unique needs and preferences. Lastly, even identical language adopted by any two U.S. jurisdictions may nonetheless be subject to different statutory interpretations by each jurisdiction's courts.

The goal of harmonizing state law is important because of the prevalence of commercial transactions that extend beyond one state. For example, goods may be manufactured in State A, warehoused in State B, sold from State C, and delivered in State D. The UCC achieved the goal of substantial uniformity in commercial laws and, at the same time, allowed the states the flexibility to meet local circumstances by modifying the UCC's text as enacted in each state. The UCC deals primarily with transactions involving personal property (movable property), not real property (immovable property).

Other goals of the UCC were to modernize contract law and to allow for exceptions from the common law in contracts between merchants.

The UCC is the longest and most elaborate of the Uniform Acts. The Code has been a long-term, joint project of the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL) and the American Law Institute (ALI),[1] which began drafting its first version in 1942. Judge Herbert F. Goodrich was the Chairman of the Editorial Board of the original 1952 edition,[2] and the Code itself was drafted by some of the top legal scholars in the United States, including Karl N. Llewellyn, William A. Schnader, Soia Mentschikoff, and Grant Gilmore.

The Code, as the product of private organizations, is not itself the law, but only a recommendation of the laws that should be adopted in the states. Once enacted by a state, the UCC is codified into the state's code of statutes. A state may adopt the UCC verbatim as written by ALI and NCCUSL, or a state may adopt the UCC with specific changes. Unless such changes are minor, they can seriously obstruct the Code's express objective of promoting uniformity of law among the various states. Thus, persons doing business in different states must check local law.

The ALI and NCCUSL have established a permanent editorial board for the Code. This board has issued a number of official comments and other published papers. Although these commentaries do not have the force of law, courts interpreting the Code often cite them as persuasive authority in determining the effect of one or more provisions. Courts interpreting the Code generally seek to harmonize their interpretations with those of other states that have adopted the same or a similar provision.

In one or another of its several revisions, the UCC has been fully enacted [3] with only minimal changes in 49 states, as well as in the District of Columbia, Guam,[4] the Northern Mariana Islands,[5] and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Louisiana and Puerto Rico have enacted most of the provisions of the UCC with only minimal changes, except Articles 2 and 2A, preferring instead to maintain their own civil law tradition for governing the sale and lease of goods.[6][7] Also, some Native American tribes have adopted portions of the UCC, including the Navajo Nation, which has adopted Articles 1, 2, 3, and 9 with only minimal changes.[8]

Although the substantive content is largely similar, some states have made structural modifications to conform to local customs. For example, Louisiana jurisprudence refers to the major subdivisions of the UCC as "chapters" instead of articles, since the term "articles" is used in that state to refer to provisions of the Louisiana Civil Code. Arkansas has a similar arrangement as the term "article" in that state's law generally refers to a subdivision of the Arkansas Constitution. In California, they are titled "divisions" instead of articles, because in California, articles are a third- or fourth-level subdivision of a code, while divisions or parts are always the first-level subdivision. Also, California does not allow the use of hyphens in section numbers because they are reserved for referring to ranges of sections; therefore, the hyphens used in the official UCC section numbers are dropped in the California implementation.

UCC articles

The 1952 Uniform Commercial Code was released after ten years of development, and revisions were made to the Code from 1952 to 1999.[1] The Uniform Commercial Code deals with the following subjects under consecutively numbered Articles:

1 General Provisions Definitions, rules of interpretation
2 Sales Sales of goods
2A Leases Leases of goods
3 Negotiable Instruments Promissory notes and drafts (commercial paper)
4 Bank Deposits and Collections Banks and banking, check collection process
4A Funds Transfers Transfers of money between banks
5 Letters of Credit Transactions involving letters of credit
6 Bulk Transfers and Bulk Sales Auctions and liquidations of assets
7 Warehouse Receipts, Bills of Lading and Other Documents of Title Storage and bailment of goods
8 Investment Securities Securities and financial assets
9 Secured Transactions Transactions secured by security interests

In 2003, amendments to Article 2 modernizing many aspects (as well as changes to Article 2A and Article 7) were proposed by the NCCUSL and the ALI. Because no states adopted the amendments and, due to industry opposition, none were likely to, in 2011 the sponsors withdrew the amendments. As a result, the official text of the UCC now corresponds to the law that most states have enacted.

In 1989, the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws recommended that Article 6 of the UCC, dealing with bulk sales, be repealed as obsolete. Approximately 45 states have done so. Two others have followed the alternative recommendation of revising Article 6.

A major revision of Article 9, dealing primarily with transactions in which personal property is used as security for a loan or extension of credit, was enacted in all states. The revision had a uniform effective date of July 1, 2001 although in a few states it went into effect shortly after that date.[9] In 2010, NCCUSL and the ALI proposed modest amendments to Article 9. Several states have already enacted these amendments, which have a uniform effective date of July 1, 2013.

The controversy surrounding with what is now termed the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) originated in the process of revising Article 2 of the UCC. The provisions of what is now UCITA were originally meant to be "Article 2B" within a revised Article 2 on Sales. As the UCC is the only uniform law that is a joint project of NCCUSL and the ALI, both associations must agree to any revision of the UCC (i.e., the model act; revisions to the law of a particular state only require enactment in that state). The proposed final draft of Article 2B met with controversy within the ALI, and as a consequence the ALI did not grant its assent. The NCCUSL responded by renaming Article 2B and promulgating it as the UCITA. As of October 12, 2004, only Maryland and Virginia have adopted UCITA.

The overriding philosophy of the Uniform Commercial Code is to allow people to make the contracts they want, but to fill in any missing provisions where the agreements they make are silent. The law also seeks to impose uniformity and streamlining of routine transactions like the processing of checks, notes, and other routine commercial paper. The law frequently distinguishes between merchants, who customarily deal in a commodity and are presumed to know well the business they are in, and consumers, who are not.

The UCC also seeks to discourage the use of legal formalities in making business contracts, in order to allow business to move forward without the intervention of lawyers or the preparation of elaborate documents. This last point is perhaps the most questionable part of its underlying philosophy; many in the legal profession have argued that legal formalities discourage litigation by requiring some kind of ritual that provides a clear dividing line that tells people when they have made a final deal over which they could be sued.

Article 2

Article 2 deals with sales, and Article 2A deals with leases.

Contract formation

  • Firm offers (offers by USAUS Inc to buy or sell goods and promising to keep the offer open for a period of time) are valid without consideration if signed by the offeror, and are irrevocable for the time stated on the Purchase Order (but no longer than three months), or, if no time is stated, for a reasonable time.[10]
  • Offer to buy goods for "prompt shipment" invites acceptance by either prompt shipment or a prompt promise to ship. Therefore, this offer is not strictly unilateral. However, this "acceptance by performance" does not even have to be by conforming goods, (for example, incomplete sets).[11]
  • Consideration—modifications without consideration may be acceptable in a contract for the sale of goods.[12]
  • Failure to state price—In a contract for the sale of goods, the failure to state a price will not prevent the formation of a contract if the parties' original intent was to form a contract. A reasonable price will be determined by the court.[10]
  • Assignments—a requirements contract can be assigned, provided the quantity required by the assignee is not unreasonably disproportionate to original quantity.[13]

Contract repudiation and breach

  • Nonconforming goods—If non-conforming goods are sent with a note of accommodation, such tender is construed as a counteroffer, and if accepted, forms a new contract and binds buyer at previous contract price. If seller refuses to conform and buyer does not accept, the buyer must return all non conforming goods at sellers expense within thirty days of receipt.
  • Perfect tender—The buyer however does have a right of "perfect tender" and can accept all, reject all, or accept conforming goods and reject the rest; within a reasonable time after delivery but before acceptance, he must notify the seller of the rejection. If the buyer does not give a specific reason (defect), he cannot rely on the reason later, in legal proceedings. (akin to the cure before cover rationale). Also, the contract is not breached per se if the seller delivered the non-conforming goods, however offensive, before the date of performance has hit.
  • "Reasonable time/good faith", four weeks minimum lead time, standard—Such standard is required from a party to a contract indefinite as to time, or made indefinite by waiver of original provisions.
  • Requirements/Output contracts—The UCC provides protection against disproportionate demands, but must meet the "good faith" requirement.
  • Reasonable grounds for insecurity—In a situation with a threat of non-performance, the other part may suspend its own performance and demand assurances in writing. If assurance not provided "within a reasonable time not exceeding 30 days," the contract is repudiated.[14]
  • Battle of forms—New terms will be incorporated into the agreement unless:
    • offer limited to its own terms,
    • materially alter original terms (limit liability etc.),
    • first party objects to new terms in a timely manner, or first party has already objected to new terms.
Look at what the item is to determine whether the new terms "materially alter" the original offer (delay in delivery of nails not the same as for fish).
  • Battle of forms—A written confirmation of an offer sent within a reasonable time operates as an acceptance even though it states terms additional terms to or different from those offered, unless acceptance is expressly made conditional to the additions.
  • Statute of frauds as applicable to the sale of goods—The actual contract does not need to be in writing. Just some note or memo must be in writing and signed. However, the UCC exception to the signature requirement is where written confirmation is received and not objected to within 10 days.[15]
  • Cure/cover—Buyer must give seller time to cure the defective shipment before seeking cover
  • FOB place of business—The seller assumes risk of loss until goods are placed on a carrier. FOB destination: seller risks loss until shipment arrives at destination. If the contract leaves out the delivery place, it is the seller's place of business.
  • Risk of loss—Equitable conversion does not apply. In sale of specific goods, the risk of loss lies with the seller until tender. Generally, the seller bears risk of loss until the buyer takes physical possession of the goods (the opposite of realty)
  • Reclamation—Successful reclamation of goods excludes all other remedies with respect to the goods.[16] A seller can reclaim goods upon demand within 20 days after buyer receives them if the seller discovers that the buyer received the goods while insolvent.
  • Rightfully rejected goods—A merchant buyer may follow reasonable instructions of the seller to reject the goods. If no such instructions are given, the buyer make a reasonable effort to sell them, and the buyer/bailee entitled to 10% of the gross proceeds.
  • Implied warranty of fitness—Implied warranty of fitness arises when the seller knows the buyer is relying upon the seller's expertise in choosing goods. Implied warranty of merchantability: every sale of goods fit for ordinary purposes. Express warranties: arise from any statement of fact of promise.
  • UCC damages for repudiating/breaching seller—Difference between 1) the market price when the buyer learned of breach and the 2) contract price 3) plus incidental damages. An aggrieved seller simply suing for the contract price is economically inefficient.[17]
  • Specially manufactured goods—Specially manufactured goods are exempt from statute of frauds where manufacturer has made a "substantial beginning" or "commitments for the procurement" of supplies.

Section 2-207: Battle of the forms

One of the most confusing and fiercely litigated sections of the UCC is Section 2-207,[18] which Professor Grant Gilmore called "arguably the greatest statutory mess of all time".[19] It governs a "battle of the forms" as to whose boilerplate terms, those of the offeror or the offeree, will survive a commercial transaction where multiple forms with varying terms are exchanged. This problem frequently arises when parties to a commercial transaction exchange routine documents like requests for proposals, invoices, purchase orders, and order confirmations, all of which may contain conflicting boilerplate provisions.

The first step in the analysis is to determine whether the UCC or the common law governs the transaction. If the UCC governs, courts will usually try to find which form constitutes the offer. Next, offeree's acceptance forms bearing the different terms is examined. One should note whether the acceptance is expressly conditional on its own terms. If it is expressly conditional, it is a counteroffer, not an acceptance. If performance is accepted after the counteroffer, even without express acceptance, under 2-207(3), a contract will exist under only those terms on which the parties agree, together with UCC gap-fillers.

If the acceptance form does not expressly limit acceptance to its own terms, and both parties are merchants, offeror's acceptance of offeree's performance, though offeree's forms contain additional or different terms, forms a contract. At this point, if offeree's terms cannot coexist with offeror's terms, both terms are "knocked out" and UCC gap-fillers step in. If offeree's terms are simply additional, they will be considered part of the contract unless (a) the offeror expressly limits acceptance to the terms of the original offer, (b) the new terms materially alter the original offer or (c) notification of objection to the new terms has already been given or is given within a reasonable time after they are promulgated by the offeree.

Because of the massive confusion engendered by Section 2-207, a revised version was promulgated in 2003, but the revision has never been enacted by any state.

Article 8

The ownership of securities is governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). This Article 8, a text of about 30 pages,[20] underwent important recasting in 1994. That update of the UCC treats the majority of the transfers of dematerialized securities as mere reflections of their respective initial issue held primarily by two American central securities depositories, respectively The Depository Trust Company (DTC) for securities issued by corporations and the Federal Reserve for securities issued by the Treasury Department. In this centralised system, the title transfer of the securities does not take place at the time of the registration with the issuer's registrar for the account of the investor, but within the systems managed by DTC or by the Federal Reserve.

This centralization is not accompanied by a centralized register of the investors/owners of the securities, such as the systems established in Sweden and in Finland (so-called "transparent systems"). Neither DTC nor the Federal Reserve hold an individual register of the transfers of property reflecting beneficial owners. The consequence for an investor is that proving ownership of its securities relies entirely on the accurate replication of the transfer recorded by DTC and FED and others in the intermediated holding system at the lower tiers of the holding chain of the securities. Each one of these links is composed respectively of an account provider (or intermediary) and of an account holder.

The rights created through these links are purely contractual claims: these rights are of two kinds:

  1. For the links where the account holder is itself an account provider at a lower tier, the right on the security during the time where it is credited there is characterized as a "securities entitlement", which is an "ad hoc" concept invented in 1994: e.g., designating a claim that will enable the account holder to take part to a prorate distribution in the event of bankruptcy of its account provider.
  2. For each link of the chain, in which the final account holder is at the same time the final investor, its "security entitlement" is enriched by the "substantial" rights defined by the issuer: the right to receive dividends or interests and, possibly, the right to take part in the general meetings, when that was laid down in the account agreement concluded with the account provider. The combination of these reduced material rights and of these variable substantial rights is characterised by article 8 of the UCC as a "beneficial interest".

This decomposition of the rights organized by Article 8 of the UCC results in preventing the investor to revindicate the security in case of bankruptcy of the account provider, that is to say the possibility to claim the security as its own asset, without being obliged to share it at its prorate value with the other creditors of the account provider. As a consequence, it also prevents the investor from asserting its securities at the upper level of the holding chain, either up to DTC or up to a sub-custodian. Such a "security entitlement," unlike a normal ownership right, is no longer enforceable "erga omnes" to any person supposed to have the security in its custody. The "security entitlement" is a mere relative right, therefore a contractual right.

This re-characterization of the proprietary right into a simple contractual right may enable the account provider to "re-use" the security without having to ask for the authorization of the investor. This is especially possible within the framework of temporary operations such as security lending, option to repurchase, buy to sell back or repurchase agreement. This system the distinction between the downward holding chain which traces the way in which the security was subscribed by the investor and the horizontal and ascending chains which trace the way in which the security has been transferred or sub-deposited.[21]

Contrary to claims suggesting that Article 8 denies American investors their security rights held through intermediaries such as banks, Article 8 has also helped US negotiators during the negotiations of the Geneva Securities Convention, also known as the Unidroit Convention on Substantive Rules for Intermediated Securities.

Article 9

Article 9 governs security interests in personal property as collateral to secure a debt. A creditor with a security interest is called a secured party.

Fundamental concepts under Article 9 include how a security interest is created (called attachment); how to give notice of a security interest to the public, which makes the security interest enforceable against others who may claim an interest in the collateral (called perfection); when multiple claims to the same collateral exist, determining which interests prevail over others (called priority); and what remedies a secured party has if the debtor defaults in payment or performance of the secured obligation.

Article 9 does not govern security interests in real property, except fixtures to real property. Security interests in real property include mortgages, deeds of trusts, and installment land contracts. There may be significant legal issues around security interests in Bitcoin.[22]

The Model Tribal Secured Transactions Act (MTSTA), a model act tailored to provide Native American tribes with a legal system to govern secured transactions in Indian country, was derived from the UCC, primarily Article 9.

The obligee which is the debtor shall return all assets stated in the collateral to secured party after the perfection of default by secured party in response to protest by the Obligee within specified time frame in the civil code and UCC Article 9-3.

International influence

Certain portions of the UCC have been highly influential outside of the United States. Article 2 had some influence on the drafting of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), though the end result departed from the UCC in many respects (such as refusing to adopt the mailbox rule). Article 5, governing letters of credit, has been influential in international trade finance simply because so many major financial institutions operate in New York. Article 9, which established a unified framework for security interests in personal property, directly inspired the enactment of Personal Property Security Acts in every Canadian province and territory except Quebec from 1990 onwards, followed by New Zealand's Personal Property Securities Act 1999 and the Australian Personal Property Securities Act of 2009.[23]

Privacy Policy

Information we collect and the purposes for which we use it

Automatically collected information

Our servers automatically collect the following information regarding devices that access our site or app: device characteristics (including device ID for mobile devices), operating system, browser type, IP address, username from stored cookies if present, dates and times of each login, page and image viewing statistics, and incoming and outgoing links. We also log the metadata associated with any uploaded images. We use this automatically collected anonymous data to analyze how our site and app are used so as to keep them optimized, to determine the popularity and usefulness of various features, to maintain the integrity of user accounts so that each user can see his or her posts and the upvotes, downvotes, and comments to them, and to enable users with usernames to access their posts, albums, and membership information. We also use such data to enable us to comply with copyright law, with 18 USC §2258A (illegal content), and to respond to lawful requests by public authorities, including national security, courts, and law enforcement.

None of this information is “personal data” – that is, data we could use to identify a specific person. Some of this information could, however, become personal data because we provide automatically collected anonymous data to third party advertisers to supplement the tracking information described below, and those third parties might be able to combine our anonymous data with other data they have to enable them to identify people.

Interactively collected information

In addition to the automatically collected anonymous data described above, we may place information on your device and then retrieve it later: we may use cookies, web beacons, or other anonymous tracking information to improve our server's interaction with your device. We also partner with third party advertisers who may (themselves or through their partners) place and/or recognize cookies on your device that collect data about which pages and ads are viewed while our app or site is being used. Advertiser cookies enable customized ads that are selected for display on your device based on the anonymous information collected. No personal data is on, connected to, or derivable from, these cookies. If you block or disable cookies and other tracking technologies, instead of getting customized ads you will see non-customized (generic) ads. Although our servers currently don't respond to "do-not-track" requests, you can block tracking in other ways. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies for interest based advertising, please visit or see the section below, “Accessing, correcting, and limiting use of your data”.

Information you choose to give us

When you sign in with a username, we handle it in the same way as an automatically collected username except that if you don’t allow cookies, you have to enter your username each time you log in. A username is, by nature, publicly posted information. On occasion we may run a contest or other type of promotion, and to enable us to award prizes to the winners as well as to comply with the applicable laws, we collect real names and contact information – so if you win a contest, we’ll ask for that information and we’ll use it only for those two specific purposes.

We collect whatever personal data about you that you choose to give us, such as a contact email address (which we do not make public) and profile information. We do not require you to use an account to upload images. If you are located in the EEA and wish to open an account, do not use your real name – choose a username and email address that reveal nothing about your identity. If you give us an email address, we’ll probably send you promotional messages once in a while; we’ll try to make them fun and interesting but of course you’ll be able to opt out at any time.

Information you post

ZippyImage does not “collect” the stuff you post: images, comments, messages, etc., and – with respect to persons in the EEA – does not “process” or determine any purposes for processing of any information that you manifestly make public. In particular, every image uploaded to ZippyImage is public – whether uploaded directly without going through a user account, or uploaded via a user account – and has its own URL. No matter what your privacy settings are, every image can always be accessed and viewed by anyone who types in that exact URL. No image uploaded to ZippyImage is ever completely hidden from public view. This is mainly to ensure that ZippyImage, which allows anonymous postings, will not be used as a platform for illegality. So too for messaging: ZippyImage allows users to send messages to one another both indirectly (via comments to posts) and directly (via chat). ZippyImage's messaging functionality is not intended to be a secure messaging platform; it's just for fun. To ensure that ZippyImage's messaging platform is not used as a platform for illegality, all messages are public. No messages are ever completely hidden from public view. We may monitor user messaging.

Post / Image Privacy

Uploading a New Post creates a “post” (also called “album”) that can be shared to the community. The individual images inside the post are referred to as “images.”

Although nothing you post to ZippyImage is completely hidden from public view or entirely private, with that understanding you can set the privacy level of posts.

  • Hidden: Posts will not be searchable within ZippyImage, and will not appear in ZippyImage's public gallery or public profile, but each one will still be accessible by going to the post’s URL.
  • Public: Posts will be publicly viewable and shared with the community. Public posts shared with the community will allow comments, sharing, and voting, and appear in a user’s profile.

Accessing, correcting, and limiting use of your data

Because we don’t collect information about the identity of our users and don’t receive any information from third parties enabling us to identify our users, we have no means of knowing, or providing you with information about, whatever anonymous data about you we might have on our servers – unless you have a username. If you have a username, you may log in and access your data, correct whatever information you deem to be incorrect, opt out of information sharing with our advertisers, or delete your account. We may retain backup and/or archival copies of information prior to your corrections, amendments, or deletions.

Data Protection

We take every reasonable precaution to protect the data on our servers from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, taking into account the risk level and the nature of the data. You are responsible for taking every reasonable precaution on your end to protect any unauthorized person from accessing your ZippyImage account.

GDPR / Privacy Shield

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and in Switzerland, ZippyImage complies with the principles of the U.S.-EU Privacy Shield Program and the U.S.-Swiss Privacy Shield Program. See Although the European Court of Justice invalidated the U.S.-EU Privacy Shield Program in July 2020, ZippyImage participation in both programs has always been voluntary. ZippyImage is not subject to the GDPR, and thus did not need the Privacy Shield as a means of complying with the GDPR, because we do not collect “personal data” about, or monitor behavior of, anyone in the EEU, nor do we “target” individuals in the EEU. Regarding the latter, see Guidelines 3/2018 on the territorial scope of the GDPR (Article 3), Ver. 2.1 (Nov 12, 2019). We remain subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the Federal Trade Commission, and we are liable for the unauthorized transfer to third parties of user personal data. To contact us regarding privacy issues, you can email us at [email protected].

Dispute resolution

These terms are governed by California law, excluding its conflicts of law principles, and if there is a lawsuit between a user outside the EEA and ZippyImage, jurisdiction and venue will lie exclusively in the State where the defendant is located, if within the United States, or in Los Angeles County, California otherwise.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may revise our privacy policy from time to time by posting the changes here, with or without notice.

Polynomial Algorithms

10 minute read

This post introduces some tricks on polynomials widely used in ICPC. I will try to practice algebraic knowledge as well.

Polynomial Inverse

Prop: Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $I$ be an ideal. Then $[p ]_I$ is a unit in $R/I$ if and only if $\langle p\rangle$ is coprime with $I$.

Proof: $1\in Rp+I$ is equivalent to $\langle p\rangle+I = R$.

Cor: For $R$ UFD, $f\in R[ X]/\langle X^n\rangle$ is a unit if and only if $f(0)$ is a unit in $R$.

Proof: $R$ being a domain implies $X^a$ ($a< n$) are the only factors of $X^n$. Suppose $f(0)$ is a unit, then $f$ is coprime with $X^n$ in $K[ X]$, where $K$ is the fractional field of $R$. Suppose $fg = 1$ in $K[ X]$. Since the content of $f$ is associated to $1$, by Gauß’s lemma, $C(f\hat{g})$ is also associated to $1$. Since $f\hat{g} = h\cdot X^n + f(0)\hat{g}(0)$, $[ f(0)\hat{g}(0)]^{-1}\hat{g}$ is the inverse of $f$ modulo $X^n$. The “only if” part is trivial.

Prop: If $fg = h\cdot X^n + 1$, then $(2-fg)g\cdot f = -h^2\cdot X^{2n} +1$.

This proposition gives a binary lifting algorithm to calculate $f^{-1}$ modulo $X^n$, in $O(n\log n)$.

Newton’s Method

Let $R$ be a UFD and $f\in R[[ X]]$ be a power series. Suppose $f(a)\in Rp$ for some $a,p\in R$, i.e. $a$ is a root to $f$ modulo $p$. Then, consider $x = a+rp$. We have $f(a) + f’(a)rp \in Rp^2$. Since $p\mid f(a)$, if $f’(a)$ is invertible in $R/p^2R$, we have $p\mid f(a)f’(a)^{-1}$. Thus, $x = a - f(a)f’(a)^{-1}$ is a root to $f$ modulo $p^2$ if $f’(a)$ is invertible.

Now, substitute $R$ with $R[ X]$ and $p$ with $X^m$. Consider $g\in R[ X, Y]$, but it can have infinite terms on $Y$. If there is some $a\in R$ s.t. $g(0, a) = 0, \frac{\partial g}{\partial Y}(0, a)\in R^{\times}$, then we can calculate the “root” of $g(X, f(X))$ in $R[ X]/\langle X^n\rangle$ for any $n$:

  • Let $f_0(X) = a$ and $n_0 = 1$
  • Let $f_i(X) = a - g(X, f_{i-1}) \left(\frac{\partial g}{\partial Y}(0, f_{i-1})\right)^{-1}$ and $n_i = 2n_{i-1}$.
    • Note that $X\mid g(X, f_{i-1})$. Thus, if the first derivative is invertible, all derivatives are invertible.

  • Inverse $h(X)$: let $g(X, Y) = \frac{1}{Y} - h(X)$. Get $f_{i+1} = 2f_{i} - f_i^2h$.
    • Condition: $h(0)$ is invertible.
  • Sqrt of $h(X)$: let $g(X, Y) = Y^2 - h(X)$. Get $f_{i+1} = \frac{1}{2}(f_i^2+h)f_i^{-1}$.
    • Condition: there exists $a$ s.t. $a^2 = h(0)$ and $2a\in R^{\times}$.
    • For exmaple, let $R = \mathbb{Z}/9\mathbb{Z}$ and $h(X) = X+1$. Starting from $f_0 = 1$ and $2\times 5 = 1$, we can get $f_2(X)= -5X^3+X^2+5X+1$ is the solution modulo $X^4$.
      • Well, $R$ is not a domain, but it works.
  • Exp of $h(X)$: let $g(X, Y) = \ln Y - h(X)$. Get $f_{i+1} = f_i(X)(1 - \ln {f_i(X)} + h(X))$.
    • Log can be calculated by integral on $\frac{f’(X)}{f(X)}$.
    • Condition: $h(0)=0$

Polynomial Modulus

Let $K$ be a field. For $f\in K[ X]$ of degree $d$, let $f^T(X) := X^df(1/X)$ be the reverse of coefficients of $f$. Suppose $f = gq + r$, where $f, g$ are of degree $n, m$ resp. Then, $f^T(X) = g^T(X)q^T(X) + X^nr(1/X)$. Since $r$ is of degree at most $m-1$, $X^{n-m+1}\mid X^nr(1/X)$. Also, $q(X)$ is of degree $n-m < n-m+1$. Thus, $q = [ f^T\cdot (g^T)^{-1}]^T (\text{mod }X^{n-m+1})$ and $r = f - gq$.

Let $A$ be an $R$-algebra, and $g\in A^{\times}$ of order $n$. Suppose $\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}g^{ik} = 0$ for all $1\leq k < n$ (generally true if $g^k-1$ is not a zero divisor). For a sequence $a = (a_0, \ldots, a_{n-1})\in R^n$, its discrete Fourier transform is $F(a) = (F_0(a), \ldots, F_{n-1}(a))\in A^n$ where

\[F_k(a) = \sum_{i=0}^{n-1}a_ig^{ik}\]

If $n$ is invertible in $A$, the inverse of DFT is

\[a_i = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=0}^{n-1} F_k(a)g^{-ik}\]

This is given by the zero sum condition.

The DFT of the cyclic convolution $a * b$ is the pointwise product of their DFT:

\[\begin{eqnarray} F_k(a*b) &=& F_k(a)F_k(b) \nonumber\\ (a*b)_i &=& \sum_{j=0}^{n-1} a_j b_{(i-j)\mod n} \end{eqnarray}\]

Thus, DFT can be used to compute convolution. However, directly computing the sum does not reduce the time complexity. Now we try to accelerate this. Suppose $n = 2^m$.

\[\begin{eqnarray} F_k(a) &=& \sum_{i=0}^{2^m-1}a_ig^{ik} \nonumber\\ &=& \left(\sum_{i=0}^{2^{m-1}-1}a_{2i}g^{i\cdot 2k}\right) + g^k\left(\sum_{i=0}^{2^{m-1}-1}a_{2i+1}g^{i\cdot 2k}\right) \nonumber\\ &=& F_k'(a_{even}) + F_k'(a_{odd}) \end{eqnarray}\]

where $F_k’$ is the DFT of length $n/2$ using $g^2$ as the primitive root instead of $g$. Repeating this, we get $O(n\log n)$ fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm.

Common settings

  • $R=\mathbb{Z}$, $A=\mathbb{C}$, $g = e^{\frac{2\pi i}{n}}$
  • $R=A=\mathbb{Z}/p$, for some prime number $p = c\cdot 2^m + 1$.
    • $p = 0\text{x}\text{C}0000001$, $g = 5$, $m = 30$
    • $p = 0\text{x}78000001$, $g = 22$, $m = 27$
    • $p = 0\text{x}3\text{B}800001$, $g = 3$, $m = 23$
    • $p = 0\text{x}0\text{A}000001$, $g = 3$, $m = 25$

Lagrange polynomial

Let $K$ be a field and $f\in K[ X]$ is of degree $d$. If we know its value on $d+1$ different points $x_0, \ldots, x_d\in K$ and $f(x_0), \ldots, f(x_d)\in K$, then we can recover the coefficients of $f$.

Let $l_i\in K[ X]$ be defined as:

\[l_i(X) := \prod_{j\neq i}\frac{X - x_j}{x_i - x_j}\]

Then, $l_i$ is $1$ at $x_i$ and $0$ at other points $x_j\neq x_i$. Let $l := \sum_{i=0}^{d} y_il_i$, then $f = l$. Because otherwise, $f-l$ will be a polynomial of degree $d$ but have $d+1$ disjoint roots.

To evaluate $f(x)$, we can directly substitute $x$ into $l_i$, and get an $O(d^2)$ algorithm.

Example: sum of powers

Let $f_k(n) = \sum_{i=1}^{n} i^k$. By induction we can prove $f_k$ is a polynomial of degree $k+1$. To calculate $f_k(n)$, it suffices to compute $f_k(0), \ldots, f_k(k+1)$ and then interpolate.

Multipoint Evaluation

Let $R$ be an commutative ring, $f\in R[ X]$ be a polynomial with degree less than $n$, $x_1,\ldots, x_n\in R$ be points. Compute $f(x_1), \ldots, f(x_n)$.

Let $p_0(X) = \prod_{i=1}^{n/2} (X - x_i)$ and $p_1(X) = \prod_{i=n/2+1}^{n} (X - x_i)$. Define $r_0(X) = f\mod p_0$ and $r_1(X) = f\mod p_1$. Then it suffices to evaluate $r_0$ on $x_1,\ldots, x_{n/2}$ and $r_1$ on $x_{n/2+1},\ldots, x_{n}$. This divide-and-conquer algorithm works in $O(n\log^2 n)$.

In special case there are algorithms that run faster, e.g. $O(n\log n)$, but need more memory.

Example: factorial

Let $f(X) := \prod_{i=1}^{n}(X+i)$. Then, $n! = f(0)$. Let $g(X) := \prod_{i=1}^{v}(X+i)$, where $v = \lfloor\sqrt{n}\rfloor$. Then,

\[n! = \left( \prod_{i=0}^{v-1}g(vi) \right)\cdot \prod_{i=v^2+1}^{n}i\]

Thus, it is enough to calculate $g(X)$ on $0, v, \ldots, v(v-1)$.

Recursive Sequence

Suppose ${a_i}_ {\infty}$ is a sequence s.t. $a_i = \sum_{j=1}^{d} c_ja_{i-j}$. Then, the array is decided by its first $n$ elements.

Matrix Exponentiation

Clearly, we have

\[\begin{pmatrix} a_{n+d-1} \\ a_{n+d-2} \\ a_{n+d-3} \\ \vdots \\ a_n \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} c_1 & c_2 & \cdots & c_{d-1} & c_d \\ 1 & 0 & \cdots & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & \cdots & 0 & 0 \\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots & \vdots \\ 0 & 0 & \cdots & 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix}^n \cdot \begin{pmatrix} a_{d-1} \\ a_{d-2} \\ a_{d-3} \\ \vdots \\ a_0 \end{pmatrix}\]

Thus, we can let $M$ denote the recurrenc matrix and calculate $M^n$ in $O(d^3\log n)$:

  • $M^{2m} = (M^m)^2$
  • $M^{2m+1} = (M^m)^2\cdot M$

Polynomial Modulus

By Hamilton-Cayley theorem, the characteristic polynomial of $M$ is an annihilator of $M$. Let $p(X) := X^d - \sum_{i=1}^{d}c_iX^{d-i}$ and $r_n(X) := X^n\mod p$. Then, $A^n = r_n(A)$. Thus, if $r_n(X) = \sum_{i=0}^{d-1} s_iX^i$, then $a_n = \sum_{i=0}^{d-1} s_ia_i$.

However, there is a much cleaner way to view this. Recall that given $c\in R$, we have $R[ X]/\langle X-c \rangle\cong R$ via $X\mapsto c$. This somehow gives an solution for $a_i = ca_{i-1}$ as $a_i = c^i$. We want to generalize this, but $a_1 \times a_1 \neq a_2$. This inspires us that we should forget the multiplication.

Consider $R[ X]$ as a abelian group. Then, define $f: R[ X]\to R$ as $f(uX^i) = u\cdot a_i$ for all $u\in R$ and $i\in\mathbb{N}$. By the distributivity of $R$, $f$ is a well-defined group homomorphism. Let $I = \langle p \rangle$ be the ideal generated by $p$. We claim that $I$ is in the kernel of $f$. Since $f$ preserves the addition, so it suffices to show that $f(uX^ip) = 0$ for all $u\in R$ and $i\in\mathbb{N}$. This is clearly true since

\[u(a_{i+d} - c_1a_{i+d-1} - \ldots - c_da_{i}) = u\cdot 0 = 0\]

Observe that now $R$ becomes a cocone of the diagram $1\leftarrow I \hookrightarrow R$. And $R/I$ is exactly the coproduct of this diagram, with canonical map $\pi: R\to R/I$ via $f\mapsto (f\mod p)$. By the universality, $f = f\restriction_{R/I}\circ \pi$. Hence, $a_n = f(X^n\mod p) = \sum_{i=0}^{d-1} s_ia_i$, with $s_i$ defined above.

Berlekamp-Massey Algorithm

This is the inverse problem: given a recurrence sequence $\{a_i\}_ {\infty}$ (first $2d$ elements are enough), can we compute its recurrence relation $a_i = \sum_{j=1}^{d} c_ja_{i-j}$?

Again we use a polynomial to represent the recurrence relation. Suppose $p_i\in R[ X]$ s.t. $p_i$ works for $a_j$, $0\neq j < i$. Formally, this means $f(X^j\mod p_i) = a_j$ and $f(X^{j-\deg p_i}p_i) = 0$. Let the error

\[e_i = a_i + \sum_{j=1}^{\deg p_i} [ X^{\deg p_i-j}]p_i\cdot a_{i-j} = f(X^{i-\deg p_i}p_i)\]
  • If $e_i = 0$, we can keep it $p_{i+1} = p_i$.
  • If $e_i \neq 0$, we need to fix it.
    • Suppose $p_k\neq p_i$ is some polynomial we have different from $p_i$. Let $p_{i+1} = p_i + \frac{e_i}{e_k}p_kX^{i-k}$.

Clearly, $f(X^{i-\deg p_{i+1}} p_{i+1})=0$, so $p_{i+1}$ works for $a_{i}$. One can verify it works for all $a_j$, $0\leq j\leq i$.

Now we want to minimize the degree of final $p$. The flexibility we have is $p_k$ when fixing the error. Massey argues that we can use the last $p_k$ s.t. $\deg p_{k+1} > \deg p_k$.

TRUE – (Horowitz Moscow concert)

Even in pianissimo

The tension goes on inside

One’s being

The maestro is able to transfer

To viewers and listeners.

The man on the piano

With his child-like exuberance

And the young man of subtlety.

His transfer into Chopin and

Schumann is out of this world

Feelings that come to life in

With tears in their eyes.

Poetic loftiness.

The high flight of soul and mind.

How well do the heavens triumph

In their dialogue with white and

Dark spirits.

The artist on the special tailored

Piano to his spec

Has sensitized his instrument

To the heartbeat of his being

And to the soul of his feelings.

Bid Day

For sorority members, Bid Day is one of the most exciting parts of the college experience. To make this day even more special, we have teamed up with local small businesses to create a gift package that will not only make your girl feel at home in her new sorority, but also in Fayetteville. Each box will include signature, greek-themed items from Rick's Bakery, Zuzu's Petals and Gifts, and Houndstooth Press, along with admission to classes at the new PureBarre Studio here in Fayetteville! All of the items in the box were handpicked by active sorority members who know which items are most wanted AND most used by new members, ensuring that your gift will be appreciated!

 How it works

Our team is an Official Greek Life Sponsor. This means that we have invested in the program and that we will be the first to know which sorority each girl received a bid from! The beauty of this is that you do not have to guess which house she will get a bid to, or try to find out and spoil the surprise! The night before Bid Day is when the girls make their final decisions, and as soon as that list is finalized, our staff will get be notified! We will work through the night packing sorority specific gift boxes for each girl on our list, then deliver them to the house before the Bid Day festivities begin. The best part is that when she arrives at her new sorority house the next morning, your gift will be there waiting to welcome her home!

What if...

Recruitment is a busy week, and we understand that sometimes things don't go as planned. The Welcome Home crew is ready to help you in any situation that comes about, and want to be sure that your girl is happy first and foremost!
If your recipient withdraws from rush or does not receive a bid, she will still receive the General "Welcome Home" Basket. If the box that you had originally ordered was more expensive, we will give you the remaining money back as store credit.
If you need to exchange a clothing item for a different size, we will be happy to swap them for you while supplies lasts! We cannot, however, offer any refunds on orders before or after they are delivered!

Keep in mind, each box is being sold while supplies lasts. There is no way for us to gauge how many girls will end up in each sorority, and while we do not expect to run out of any products, there is always a chance! For this reason, we place priority on the orders that we receive first. We recommend placing your order as soon as you can to ensure that your box is complete with each item that was listed. If we do run out of a product, we will replace it with something of equal or greater value that can be exchanged for the missing item at a later date.

The Welcome Home Team

Zuzu's Petals is a premier florist in the Northwest Arkansas area. In addition to creating beautiful floral designs, Zuzu's is the perfect company to be in charge of logistics, packing, and delivering.  This company is a seasoned veteran when it comes to producing hundreds of custom orders in a quick turn around-- this year on Valentine's Day they delivered to over 400 locations before noon! The Welcome Home baskets are in good hands with this crew!

Five things from the Lib Dem conference

Lib Dem MPs Image copyright PA Media

With Parliament prorogued and the focus of the political world on Brexit controversies, the Liberal Democrats have been enjoying a week by the seaside.

So what have we learned from this year's conference?

1) The Lib Dems really hate Brexit

Stand back Che Guevara, Samuel L Jackson and Frank Spencer, there's a new iconic beret on the scene. Maggie Turner, from Bath, says she's been doing a great trade in home-designed, EU-themed headgear at this year's Lib Dem conference.

The prototype yellow-on-blue beret, affording shade from the late-summer sunshine outside the Bournemouth International Centre (BIC), was fashioned from dishcloths. So far, Maggie says, 8,000 of the more conventional felt version have been sold, including "several" to delegates.

It's no surprise, of course, but the strength of anti-Brexit feeling at the normally rather restrained party get-together is noticeable this year.

In her speech, leader Jo Swinson said leaving the EU without a deal would put "lives at risk" and described Boris Johnson's actions as "sickening".

When she had another dig at the PM, whom she blamed for the ongoing impasse, the activists stamped on the floor in support.

A slogan involving a swearword and the "B-word" has been widely displayed here too.

They also voted on Monday to in the event of a Lib Dem government.

But not every Lib Dem is in favour of the party's new policy to revoke Article 50 if the Lib Dems win the next general election.

MP Sir Norman Lamb has warned that this amounts to "playing with fire", potentially alienating the 52% of voters who backed Leave in the 2016 referendum.

2) Sam's on board

Image caption Who's next to join Sam and Jo's gang?

There were hints before the conference began that another MP would move over to the Lib Dems, following Luciana Berger, Chuka Umunna, Phillip Lee et al. But who?

We found out on Saturday, when Ex-Tory Sam Gyimah took to the stage with Ms Swinson, wearing glasses, a smile and... a blue jumper. His new party's yellow/gold signature hue would have merged with the background to the main stage at the BIC.

"There just aren't enough Conservatives like me," he said, as he explained the reason for his sacking from that party - over his stance on Brexit - and his subsequent move.

That leaves the Lib Dems with 18 MPs. Rumours circulated that Ms Swinson was going to unveil another convert during her speech - but she didn't. More to follow?

3) Hopes are high

Image caption Chuka Umunna predicts an electoral breakthrough for his new party

Back in 1981, Liberal leader David Steel famously told activists at a rally to celebrate allying with the newly formed SDP: "Go back to your constituencies and prepare for government."

It proved, shall we say, a little wide of the mark, with Margaret Thatcher's Conservatives winning a landslide at the next election. Liberal and Lib Dem leaders since have been more circumspect in their predictions, even during the "Cleggmania" of 2010, when the party briefly led in some opinion polls.

But the leadership thinks its firm pro-Remain stance can win seats at the general election that most pundits predict will take place later this year. New recruit Chuka Umunna puts the number at 200.

Until now the Lib Dems, who tend to focus resources on specific winnable seats, have been talking about the possibility of a few dozen gains.

A senior party source told the BBC Ms Swinson had to "rise to the occasion" as she gave her first conference speech as leader, and her overall message was unambiguous.

"Let me be clear," she said. "There is no limit to my ambition for our party. And today I am standing here as your candidate for prime minister."

Not as direct as Mr Steel, but a sign of growing ambition?

4) Paddy Ashdown tributes

Lord Ashdown - Lib Dem leader from 1988 to 1999 - used to enjoy mixing with members during conference evenings, over a drink and a cigarette. But the larger-than-life former Royal Marine and diplomat died last December.

Elizabeth Jewkes, vice-chair of the Lib Dem Women's Group, has been displaying this bottle of specially brewed Ashdown's Ale - dating back to 1997 - on her stall in the conference centre.

"We really miss him," she says. "He could take the mick out of himself and he was so funny. And he was absolutely gorgeous."

Tributes were paid in the main hall, with former rival Tony Blair praising, via video, Lord Ashdown's dignity and decency. Ms Jewkes is hoping to raffle off the beer bottle in the near future.

5) And the battle of the mugs winner is...

Every year crowds of Lib Dems mill around the stall selling party-associated paraphernalia. And the question is always the same: which MP's face shifted the most mugs (costing £8 each)?

Well, it wasn't Carshalton and Wallington's Tom Brake (pictured above). A member of staff tells the BBC that leader Jo Swinson has outsold all rivals. In fact, the 30 mugs bearing her image went by Saturday afternoon.

Others had only 20 mugs printed in their honour. Most have gone, but, from a quick tally, five showing Alistair Carmichael, long-serving MP for Orkney and Shetland, remain on sale - the most.

Unfortunately we can't gauge the popularity of the party's new recruits - including Mr Gyimah, Mr Umunna and Ms Berger - as their official photos weren't done in time to become immortalised on dishwashable china drinking vessels.

They're expected to be ready for next year's conference, in York.

Cava by boxplayer

I was a bit sad this morning as it was my last day off after a lovely long break (bank holiday, extra bank holiday for the Queen's birthday and my non-working day) so Dave opened up the rose cava that has been in the fridge for a while and rustled me up salmon and scrambled eggs for a luxurious breakfast in bed.

The weather was still very dismal so didn't do anything even though had fancied walking over to Vestry House to see their exhibition about the Walthamstow Wetlands.

But managed to be vaguely useful and got my clothes ready for work tomorrow then cooked up some couscous to make a salad for my work lunches. Then did my photo uploading and watched Freaky Friday which I must have recorded yonks ago.

We left about 5.30 in a mad rush to catch the overground to Harringay Green Lanes, only just catching it as we struggled to get through all the people getting off the train and coming towards us.

Was only 2 stops though and we walked down Green Lanes looking for a good Turkish restaurant, settling for Diyarbakir which was big and roomy, and also very busy. We watched them bring out massive meat platters piled high with assorted kebabs but I went for hellim and salmon, and Dave the vegetarian pide. As usual, it all came with lots of free salad and yummy chargrilled bread.

Then walked further down the road to Jam in a Jar for a Scandi/French session - second we've been too. Very difficult again with unusual repertoire and tunes played in keys I can't manage. Elena arrived late and also struggled a bit.

Dave didn't play much guitar either but I did have a go on my big F whistle and started a couple of tunes.
Stayed till 11-ish then got the 230 back to Blackhorse Road and walked home from there.

K is for kebab

This 50 Inch Samsung 4K HDR TV Is Fantastic For Gaming, And Going For $359

by on March 19, 2019
Stephan Jukic – March 19, 2019

Samsung’s more recent 4K HDR TVs of all types are either good or downright fantastic but the brand’s QLED TVs get the most attention for their cutting edge performance. However, one particular thing that some of the mid-range models from the company really excel at is their gaming performance. Without a doubt they also deliver very good picture quality (though not quite as good as what the QLEDs can do) but their gaming responsiveness is what really sets them apart from almost any other 4K TV’s we know of. This combined with their genuinely good picture performance makes these models into particularly excellent choices for console or PC gamers who want some serious visual kick for their Xboxes, PS4s and AMD GPU-powered PCs.

Also see:
Our complete guide to today’s best 4K HDR TVs for every budget and home size
Ranking the best 4K TVs of 2019 for less than $1000

Few models better exemplify this quality of the Samsung mid-range TV lot than the NU7100, one of the brand’s more affordable 2018 4K HDR TVs. It not only provides decent HDR color and superb contrast/black levels, it’s also one of Samsung’s most responsive televisions when hooked up to the console of your choice, with extremely low input lag across the board. Just to underscore this, here are some of the NU7100’s input lag measurements for different resolution, frame rate and HDR formats when hooked up to an Xbox or PS4 console:

  • 1080p @ 60 Hz
  • : 13.7 ms
  • 1080p @ 60 Hz Outside Game Mode
  • : 76.6 ms
  • 1440p @ 60 Hz
  • : N/A
  • 4k @ 60 Hz
  • : 13.4 ms
  • 4k @ 60 Hz + HDR
  • : 13.4 ms
  • 4k @ 60 Hz @ 4:4:4
  • : 15.1 ms
  • 4k @ 60 Hz Outside Game Mode
  • : 76.5 ms
  • 4k @ 60 Hz With Interpolation
  • : 76.4 ms

Right now, the 50 inch edition of this very TV is on sale at Walmart and on the Walmart USA website as well for a ridiculously low discount price of just $359.99 while supplies last. This is seriously cheap; on Amazon, the 40 inch edition of the NU7100 goes for $350 and the 50 inch model for just over $500, so with this Walmart deal, you’re getting this powerful little gaming machine for about $150 off its already reasonable regular retail price. If you’re a gamer who wants lots of visual real estate for your adventures, we can’t think of a better deal right now that combines both excellent 4K TV quality and a price like this.

Samsung NU7100 4K TV Edition

  • br Dienogest DNG Dienogest is

    Dienogest (DNG) Dienogest is a 19-nortestosterone derivative with two special structural changes [Fig. 1a]: [a] At the cabon-17 position there is a cyanomethyl group instead of an ethinyl group; [b] A double bond is present between carbons 9 and 10. DNG is the only progestogen that combines properties of both 17α-hydroxyprogesterone and 19-nortestosterone derivatives [8], [9]. Dienogest is rapidly and almost completely absorbed, leading to a bioavailability of 90%; about 10% of DNG is free. Approximately 90% of DNG is bound to plasma albumin with no binding to SHBG or CBG. Metabolism of DNG by hydroxylation and conjugation results in inactive metabolites. Unchanged DNG is glucagon like peptide due to the rapid excretion of its metabolites [23]. The plasma half-life of DNG is approximately 10h. The steady-state is reached after two to three days and is not influenced by SHBG levels. There is no relevant accumulation of DNG [9]. The use of 20mg DNG orally daily for 24 weeks does not negatively influence lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, liver enzymes or hemostasis [10]. Evaluating the antiandrogenic effect of DNG it was estimated that it has about 30% to 40% of the antiandrogenic potency of cyproterone acetate, the most potent antiandrogenic progestin [8], [9], [24]. The important effect of a progestogen is to transfer a proliferative endometrium into a secretory state. The strong progestational effect of DNG on the endometrium has been demonstrated in clinical studies controlling endometrial safety by endometrial biopsy in postmenopausal women treated with estrogen in combination with DNG. When comparing estradiol valerate/DNG with estradiol/norethisterone acetate over twelve cycles, estradiol valerate/DNG appeared to be as effective as estradiol/norethisterone acetate. However, the number of days of bleeding was significantly lower estradiol valerate/DNG compared to estradiol/norethisterone acetate [11]. Overall, DNG itself or in combination with estradiol valerate has no negative effect on lipid or carbohydrate metabolism. DNG does not interfere with the vascular system (arterial and venous). Therefore, DNG is suitable for clinical application in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women.
    Drospirenone (DRSP) DRSP, a derivative of 17α-spirolactone [Table 1 and Fig. 1b] has a pharmacodynamic profile similar to progesterone [Table 2]. DRSP is rapidly absorbed after oral intake and reaches peak concentration in 1–2h. Its bioavailability is around 76% and it has a half-life of 25–33h. Steady-state is achieved flowing seven daily administrations of 3mg DRSP in combination with 30μg ethinyl estradiol [EE]. Pharmacology and pharmacokinetics has been described previously [25]. Most of the circulating DRSP is bound to plasma albumin – similar to DNG – and it has no active metabolites. Excretion of DRSP is complete after 10 days, with trace amounts excreted unchanged in urine and feces. The affinity of DRSP for the mineralocorticoid receptor is approximately 5-times that of aldosterone [12]. DRSP increases the sodium/potassium excretion ratio in a dose- dependent manner and is 8–10-times more effective than spironolactone [13], [14]. The natriuretic effect has been shown to be long-lasting. The antigonadotropic potency of DRSP is 5–10-fold higher than that of progesterone, and significantly greater than that of spironolactone, but about one-third of the potency of cyproterone acetate [15]. DRSP was developed for oral hormonal contraception. At first with 30μg EE and 3mg DRSP and later with 20μg EE and an extended regimen (24/4); thereafter, it was formulated for HT with 2mg DRSP and 1mg estradiol. The use of 2mg DRSP together with 1mg estradiol controls endometrial proliferation and avoids any preneoplastic changes. It was shown, that DRSP leads to an atrophic endometrium. These favourable effects on the endometrium of postmenopausal women are due to the proapoptotic action of DRSP in the glandular epithelium [12].

First visible progress of external work on Juliana House evident over past fortnight, involving removal of selected masonry panels from building's exterior panelling.

his former Commonwealth office block is being converted to a hotel; project recently received an award.

Bus 400

It will become another Abode Hotel, reportedly  by Easter bathrooms should be kitted out. Shortly work will start on the kitchens coming together.
Hopefully yours truly gets to check this building out, just so I can compare the view between the Woden & Tuggeranong top balconies.
