Current tools for web server benchmarking perform basic functions, such as conducting tests and saving the test results into files. Autobench/httperf is a widely used web server benchmarking tool. There are no provisions made by this tool to record each step needed to configure Autobench tests; such as collecting user information, configuring kernel parameters and configuring the parameter values for Autobench. In addition, test results are produced as simple tab separated value (TSV) and JPEG files that are stored in the file system with arbitrary filenames. Retrieval of test results and associated configuration data proves to be very challenging when there are thousands of tests conducted and the test results are not stored in an organized manner. Hence, it is easy for users to incorrectly analyze their experimental data, and users frequently cannot reuse the results of previously conducted experiments. This calls for an effective data provenance management system to keep track of how the stored benchmark results were created, in addition to storing the test results themselves. The main goal of the project presented in this report is to design, implement, test and deploy a system to manage data provenance for experimental data generated during Autobench/Httperf benchmarking. This system is one part of the TCP Perf suite of tools being developed at SFSU to partially automate the process of comparing the performance of different web server system configurations. These tools will help the user to not only better understand the results of a particular benchmarking test, but also to draw solid conclusions based on all of the information collected.
Can you explain how Autobench/httperf perform web server benchmarking and what are the limitations of this tool in terms of recording test results and associated configuration data?

Reports have been swirling since yesterday that Taylor Swift and that lustrous-haired Conor Kennedy have ended their relationship. Cue up RED, ladies and gents.
But wait! Though Taylor rarely comments on relationships, there's a hint from the Kennedy clan today that things may not be so dramatic. Kerry Kennedy allegedly sent an email out yesterday telling family members that Taylor would be honored at the family's benefit gala in December.
But also, the item points out that Conor's just back at prep school, so obviously he and Taylor are spending time apart. Fair 'nough.
Of course, if it IS true, just meet us in the studio, cause we've already started on the breakup sonata.

How does adopting the concept of concerted spaciousness help individuals boost creativity and problem-solving ability?: The most productive people structure solitude into their working lives: Marie Curie experimenting deep into Parisian nights, Friedrich Nietzsche tramping around Alpine lakes, Henry Thoreau camping and contemplating in a Massachusetts forest.
That was back in the day. But can you make that same headspace in our hyper-busy, hypertextual world?
Business writer Greg McKeown couldn’t. He was fortunate to have a monster of a project on his hands–his first solo book–but he was kept awake at night with authorly anxiety. And quite ironically, the book was about the pursuit of less.
“Being stressed out for a year while I wrote it simply was not an option,” he says on LinkedIn.
But he had a hunch. If there was more time and space to really concentrate, then his levels of stress would go down–and the quality of work would go up. The proposal: monk mode.
When you go into monk mode, you make an open declaration to yourself and everybody else that you’re going to be doing your deep work. You come out of the closet about going into your cave.
That concerted spaciousness is found in the research on creativity: the “a-ha!” moment tends to come after long, dedicated hours. It’s a process known to mathematicians, designers, writers, and painters: you need to stare down the complexity of the problem or the emptiness of the canvas for a long while for the solutions to emerge. If we’re going to be able to create things, we need to be able to focus–at length.
I am currently working on a new book which has put enormous burdens on my time. Unfortunately, I am unable to respond in the manner I would like. For this, I apologize.
The results? Surprisingly, McKeown didn’t get a single negative reaction to the bounceback. And the work went smoothy: since he had a “routine that acknowledged the difficulty of the task,” he had the resources of time necessary to do the deep work of writing a book. By going into monk mode, he showed that his schedule was a tool–one that, when used gracefully, let him slay a monster of a task–one that used to keep him awake at night.
I love the concept of concerted spaciousness leading to the “a-ha!” moment after long, dedicated hours. This is similar to meditation and pondering practices.
Yes I know the feeling and agree that adopting the ‘monk mode ‘worked for me.
Having just completed my first book which will be launched in JuneI am excited that I was able to manage my mental Sabateurs and complete the task.

Lame Duck: What and When?
The lame-duck session of Congress begins with an atmosphere radically different than what had been the conventional wisdom before the election. The pundits and lobbyists expected a Hillary Clinton victory, a Democratic Senate, and a loss of 20 or so Republican seats in the House.
Faced with a new reality, with what needs to be done in the lame duck and when, would a long laundry list of “wants” get consideration?
One “must do” is the appropriations process for fiscal year (FY) 2017. The present continuing resolution (CR) for appropriations for FY17 expires December 9. Questions the Senate and House leadership will now consider are these: will Congress pass the 12 spending bills individually, in three or four “minibus” vehicles, simply extend the present CR until March, pass a full fiscal year CR, or some combination of those alternatives in the form of what is called a “cromnibus”?
Complicating matters are the positions taken by party leaders pre-election and how those positions may have changed with the GOP sweep.
Complicating matters are the positions taken by party leaders pre-election and how those positions may have changed with the GOP sweep. While House Speaker Paul Ryan wanted a series of small “minibuses” before the election, he may now want a full-year CR, clearing the way for the new president to present his own budget next March.
Facebook Live: What is on the docket in the final days of the 114th Congress?
House Democrats must now recalculate their positions, but Democratic leaders seem likely to continue to insist on equal treatment for non-defense programs if the $11.6 billion defense supplemental appropriation measure just sent to Congress by the president is included in any spending vehicle. And, some GOP House members object to anything other than a CR at present levels.
With what needs to be done in the lame duck and when, would a long laundry list of “wants” get consideration?
In the Senate, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said that he would like the 12 individual bills completed. Realistically that seems a very hard pull, especially if Republicans insist that the present sequester caps stay as lids on spending. Individual bills would probably exhaust all of the time between now and December 9, leaving very little room for any other measures on the Senate floor.
In any event, we expect no final action before late in the day on December 8, and predict, with trepidation, that the final outcome will be a CR that includes the defense supplemental and monies for the Flint, Michigan, water problem; the floods in Texas and Louisiana; and the hurricane damage in North Carolina.
Other legislation that might squeeze into the “must do“ category are the Defense Authorization Act, now hung up in conference between the House and Senate, the 21st Century Cures Act, funding for opioid addiction legislation enacted this summer, and a mental health reform bill—although disagreements over funding levels, offsets, and gun provisions could stall these efforts, not to mention political posturing over the GOP’s plans to repeal and replace Obamacare early next year.
Will Congress, having heard the American electorate’s frustrations with Washington, muster the political will to work together?
Funding of retiree health and pension benefits for employees in the coal mining industry is also at stake if legislation addressing it fails to pass during the lame duck, coupled with the Senate Finance Committee’s bipartisan Retirement Enhancement and Savings Act, which seeks to improve access to pooled employer retirement plans.
The “want to do” list includes passage of the Water Resources Development Act (which is the vehicle first chosen for the Flint legislation) and cyber security reforms.
Also pending are approximately $19 billion in tax extenders, including renewable energy tax credits that were left out of last year’s tax extender measure – a heavy lift for a lame-duck agenda that may have narrowed in scope since the election.
With an ambitious to-do list and limited time in the lame duck, many of these items (short of at least a temporary CR into early next year) remain in question. Will Congress, having heard the American electorate’s frustrations with Washington, muster the political will to work together? Will there be an appetite to clear the decks of the must-do and want-to-do items? Or will we see more gridlock and punting to next year’s agenda? Perhaps it is time to put the vitriol of the election behind us and find a constructive path forward on these issues with bipartisan momentum.
Flint Isn’t Alone. The Water Crisis is a Nationwide Problem. How has the GOP sweep in the elections affected the positions of party leaders and their approach to the lame-duck agenda?

Read the passage below and answer the question or follow the instruction: Could you explain the process and criteria for how child abuse or neglect allegations are investigated by the Kansas Department for Children and Families?
Passage: Hill told The Star at the January Pro Bowl in Orlando that Espinal is pregnant with twins.
The location given on the report is the home shared by Hill and Espinal.
Another Overland Park police report dated March 5, concerning an investigation of child abuse or neglect, lists both Espinal and Hill as “others involved.” This report also lists the location as Hill and Espinal’s home.
That case was closed three days later when authorities declined to prosecute, according to the report. It would be possible for police to investigate the case again, though a Police Department spokesman declined to address the question specifically on Monday.
A source familiar with the situation said Hill’s fiancee has been in contact with Overland Park police. The source said that an incident was against the couple’s 3-year-old son, resulting in a broken arm.
The Police Department and the District Attorney’s Office have declined to discuss details of the case.
In a written statement Monday, Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe said his office “has received numerous requests for information about the Overland Park Police Department’s investigation of allegations regarding Tyreek Hill.
As of Monday morning, Hill had not been charged with a crime.
Under Kansas open records law, the front page of a police report is typically available to the public. It includes the time, date and location of a reported offense, but often little else.
Information about suspects or other details of an investigation are often located on the back page of the report or on subsequent pages that are not typically open to the public during an investigation.
The investigation comes as Hill and the Chiefs have been discussing a large contract extension that’s expected to make him among the highest-paid players at his position.
The Chiefs previously drew criticism in 2016 when the team drafted Hill despite his past.
Two years earlier, he had reportedly punched and choked Espinal, who was then eight weeks pregnant with their son, on Dec. 11, 2014. He was arrested and dismissed from the Oklahoma State football team. Hill pleaded guilty to domestic assault and battery by strangulation in August 2015. He received three years probation. The Chiefs selected Hill in the fifth round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
The conviction was dismissed in August 2018 and ordered to be expunged after he completed his probation requirements.
Few details have emerged from the current criminal investigation in Overland Park, and the same is true of the investigation underway by the Kansas Department for Children and Families.
The state’s child welfare agency cannot release any information about the case and can say only that it is investigating, DCF spokesman Mike Deines said Monday.
Deines said he could not comment on when DCF began its investigation or how it was alerted to the allegations. He said he also could not say whether there was just one abuse or neglect report to the agency or more.
In general, when the agency receives an allegation of abuse or neglect a determination is made as to whether it is assigned to be investigated. According to policy, some calls require same-day follow up. There are eight criteria under that response, including calls about a child under one year of age, or where bruises and marks are visible and when the child is in imminent danger.
Other abuse and neglect allegations assigned to an investigator need to be followed up within 72 hours. Other calls are not assigned to be investigated but are referred for family services, such as child care assistance or financial help.
In some cases, DCF works alongside law enforcement.
He said he could not comment on whether an investigator is working alongside law enforcement in the case involving Hill.
According to policy, DCF investigators have 30 days to make a finding in a case, unless a delay is requested by a specific party. That would include law enforcement, prosecutors or health care professionals.
The Star reported late last year that an internal review of DCF showed that many investigations are not completed in a timely manner, with some taking several months, even up to a year or two to close.
But the agency has been addressing that concern and at this time, Deines said, 63 percent of the cases are completed within the 30 days. The agency is working to improve that to 85 percent, he said.

Can you provide more information on the free strategy session offered to learn the most successful way to build and keep relationships with customers?: Do You Know Why Your Customers Choose You?
Two marketing professors from the Berkeley School of Economics asked this question of more than 2,000 senior executives from around the world over a four-year period, surveying multiple industries.
Specifically, they wanted to know what factors accounted for each company’s competitive success. For what reasons do customers choose them over their immediate competitors?
Almost all the executives polled reported that the primary factor behind customers choosing their company over their competitors had to do with the individual relationships and interactions that their customers had with them.
It should be obvious from this that trust and customer relationships are, by far, the most powerful drivers of any company’s competitive triumph over its other immediate competitors.
It’s not usually on account of price, or even product quality, but usually as a result of their relationship with and trust of the company or of some people within the company.
To raise your level of competitive success in your own business it would be a good idea to make a conscious effort each week, to strengthening the relationships you have with your customers.
From a competitive standpoint, this will definitely be time well spent. How strong your relationships are with your customers will determine how much money you will make at your business in 2019.

What are the applications of the research on topology of algebraic varieties, and what questions have been answered by the author's recent work in collaboration with Gurjar?: My research interests are in Algebraic Geometry and topology of Algebraic Varieties. Recently, my work with Francisco Gallego and Miguel Gonzalez has concentrated on deformation theory of varieties of general type and their moduli spaces, construction of new surfaces of general type with birational canonical map, and classification problems of extremal varieties of general type in all dimensions. Also with Gurjar in recent years, I have worked on topology of algebraic varieties; computing fundamental groups of fibered complex algebraic surfaces of general type with a finite group of automorphisms and its applications. Applications include answering a conjecture of Shafarevich on holomorphic convexity for these families of surfaces with a large moduli, Nori's question on fundamental groups and questions on second homotopy group. I also work on linear series and syzygies of varieties of general type, a passion that can be traced back to my thesis days. Two of my students Jayan Mukerjee and Debaditya Raychaudary have very interesting new results in this topic of syzygies.

This surprising combination results in an intensely chocolately taste and a lovely moist texture – and not a hint of beetroot after baking. Since there’s a veg element, you can surely consider this healthy. Another bonus is that the brownies are gluten free.
Preheat oven to 180°C/Gas 4. Use baking parchment to line a rectangular tin, roughly 28x18cm.
Pour the mixture into the tin and bake in the oven for 30–35 minutes, until just firm to the touch. It’s important not to overcook brownies; a skewer inserted in the centre should come out slightly sticky. Leave to cool in the tin and then cut into squares. What is the texture of the brownies made using beetroot?

A minimum of 3 of director Jacques Tourneur's films--Cat humans, I Walked with a Zombie and The Leopard Man--are famous as horror classics. but his contributions to those motion pictures are usually minimized via students, with many of the credits going to the flicks' manufacturer, Val Lewton. a close exam of the director's complete physique of labor finds that these parts most blatant within the Tourneur-Lewton collaborations--the loss of monsters and the stylized use of recommended violence--are both obvious in Tourneur's motion pictures ahead of and after his paintings with Lewton.

Question/Instruction: Can you summarize the Royal College of Midwives' campaign on normal births and the reason they are ending it?
Given material: Midwives are to end their campaign for “normal births” and change the way they talk about childbirth in a move intended to avoid making mothers who opt for medical interventions feel like failures.
The Royal College of Midwives (RCM) has run an initiative since 2005 encouraging expectant mothers to give birth without medical interventions including epidurals, inductions and caesareans.
Approximately 40% of mothers give birth without medical interventions, compared to three decades ago when 60% did so.
The midwifery trade union will instead start to use the term “physiological births” to describe those without interventions as part of an overhaul of professional guidelines but will not change its view that childbirth without medical intervention is best for many women.
Prof Cathy Warwick, the chief executive of the RCM, denied that the decade-long campaign had compromised the safety of new mothers but admitted it had created the wrong impression. “There was a danger that if you just talk about normal births – and particularly if you call it a campaign – it kind of sounds as if you’re only interested in women who have a vaginal birth without intervention,” she told the Times.
The campaign was criticised in an inquiry into the deaths of 16 babies and three mothers at Furness general hospital in Cumbria between 2004 and 2013.
The investigation found that a “lethal mix” of failings led to the unnecessary deaths of 11 babies and one mother treated at the hospital’s maternity unit, part of the Morecambe Bay NHS foundation trust.
It found that midwives, calling themselves “the musketeers”, contributed to unsafe deliveries due to their desire to see the women give birth without medical interventions “at any cost”.
Their relationship with doctors at the trust was described as “seriously dysfunctional” with reports of midwives neglecting to alert doctors in time about patient complications.
Warwick said she did not believe midwives would have looked at the “normal births” campaign and thought it meant pushing normal birth “beyond the point of safety.
James Titcombe, whose son Joshua was one of the babies who died in Morecambe Bay, welcomed the end of the campaign. “This was a top-down, blunt campaign designed to influence how midwives made decisions at absolutely critical moments. It was implemented without any risk assessment, testing or evaluation and I believe it’s had disastrous consequences,” he said.
In June the former maternity risk manager at Furness general hospital told the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) she that it should strike her off. Jeanette Parkinson admitted that she had failed to investigate a colleague’s shortcomings concerning the deaths of the babies at the hospital and that her own fitness to practise as a senior midwife was impaired.
She is the seventh midwife to be investigated as a result of the scandal, in which two have been struck off and another suspended.
An investigation into the NMC’s handling of complaints against the midwives was announced last week after concerns were raised by the Department of Health.
It will be carried out by the professional standards authority and look at the NMC’s approach to managing complaints, administering them and its relationships with witnesses.
The review is expected to take six months.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Louisville’s Metropolitan Sewer District needs to spend up to $4.3 billion over the next two decades on its sewage and Ohio River flood protection systems, according to engineering consultants.
A long-term facilities plan written by the engineers for the district identifies 506 potential projects, The Louisville Courier-Journal (https://cjky.it/2jwn1fw) reported.
The plan suggests spending about $617 million through 2024 to finish and maintain new facilities. Those upgrades were required by a federal consent decree a decade ago to reduce overflows of sewage into area waterways.
The engineering report suggests a 23 percent increase in sewer rates in the first year, followed by more routine and decreasing rates through 2036. The district has made no recommendation on rate changes and is starting a public comment process on the facilities plan.
What were the upgrades required by the federal consent decree a decade ago, and how much money is suggested to be spent on new facilities by 2024?

Question/Instruction: Who conducted the investigation and prosecution of Mendiratta in this case?
Given material: This week a defendant in the American Fire Retardant Corporation stock fraud investigation was sentenced to federal prison for his role in the scheme.
Tarun Mendiratta, of Weston, was sentenced to prison, pay a fine of $150,000, and spend three years on supervised release after previously pleading guilty to conspiracy and tax evasion charges.
In sentencing Mendiratta, United States District Judge Terry J. Hatter specified that Mendiratta's custodial term consists of one year and one day in federal prison, followed by six months at a community corrections center and six months of home detention.
According to his plea agreement, between July 2003 and February 2004, Mendiratta received approximately 1.18 billion shares of American Fire, stock that was publicly traded on the Over-the-counter Bulletin Board. Mendiratta received the stock from co-conspirator Stephen F. Owens, the principal of American Fire. The stock he received from Owens had a market of value of approximately $3.3 million.
The American Fire stock that Mendiratta received from Owens was unrestricted and free-trading, the type of stock that is issued to employees, consultants, and advisors who provide bona fide services to the company. This type of stock is registered with the US Securities and Exchange commission through the use of Form S-8. When an issuer uses Form S-8 registration in violation of SEC rules, the stock is deemed unregistered and cannot be offered or sold in without a registration statement being filed with the SEC or a legitimate exemption from registration.
As a part of the scheme, Mendiratta requested that Owens fraudulently issue American Fire stock to two of his aunts in an effort to conceal his ownership of the stock from federal authorities. Neither Mendiratta nor his aunts performed any bona fide services for American Fire that were worth the amount of stock issued to them.
Mendiratta knew that the stock American Fire had issued to him was unregistered and it was issued in violation of federal securities laws. Throughout 2003 and 2004, Mendiratta caused the American Fire stock to be sold in the stock market.
Mendiratta also admitted that, with respect to the tax evasion charge, he failed to report approximately $329,811 in income from the sale of Marmion Industries Corporation stock on his 2005 individual tax return. Mendiratta had received and sold millions of shares of Marmion industries stock in 2005. His failure to report the sale of his stock on his 2005 tax return resulted in a tax loss of approximately $92,347.
Hatter ordered Mendiratta to surrender to the Bureau of Prisons on July 19.
The investigation and prosecution of Mendiratta was conducted by IRS -- Criminal Investigation, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and United States Attorney's Office for the Central District of California.

Given the text: Pineapple Chicken day is "cheat day!" I am not exaggerating things but I can eat a lot, like 3 cups of rice if this dish is on the table. This is also my sister's favorite. She really loves my Pininyahang Manok. This dish is one of my favorites because of the combination of pinepapple and milk.
There are some variations of this dish. Some use evaporated milk over coconut milk and vice versa. I would say that both alternatives will yield good results though I used evaporated milk in this recipe and I always do.
You should try this especially if you have kids like me. They'll enjoy it, no left overs and they'll surely ask for more. So, let's get down to the recipe.
1. Marinade the chicken with the pineapple syrup for a few minutes, atleast 10 minutes.
4. Heat up oil, saute garlic and onion. Add the chicken and cook for about a minute.
5. Add fish sauce and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
6. Pour the evaporated milk and pineapple chunks. Cook over low heat until meat is tender.
7. Add potatoes, simmer for 5 minutes.
8. Add bell pepper, pechay, granules, pepper and salt to taste. Cover and bring to a simmer for about 5 minutes.
Can you provide a recipe for Pininyahang Manok with coconut milk instead of evaporated milk?

PALO ALTO, Calif.—Tim Thomson needed a charge, quickly.
With his all-electric Nissan Leaf fast losing battery power and no places to plug in along the highway from Fresno, Calif., to San Francisco, Thompson turned to his iPhone. He pulled up an application called PlugShare that maps charging stations for electric vehicle drivers. A resident in nearby Madera had advertised his home charging station, so Thomson called in a panic.
The lack of charging infrastructure nationwide, especially outside EV-friendly cities, has long bred “range anxiety” and chilled sales of the clean vehicles. Utilities, municipalities, workplaces and startups have all ramped up their investment in the infrastructure to calm fears. But in many places, EV drivers still depend on an unreliable patchwork of outlets at hotels and campgrounds.
The country now has 13,925 public electric charging stations, or 34,378 outlets, according to the Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center. PlugShare, the app used by Thomson, maps out tens of thousands of additional outlets from private residents.
Recently, Renault Group launched Elbnb, a website and application in Sweden that maps out charging stations for EVs and takes its inspiration from the sharing economy. The homeowners who have signed up to share their own plugs have increased the number of charging stations available in the country by 3.5 percent in two weeks, said Karin Karlsson, a spokeswoman for Renault Sweden.
Airbnb itself has partnered with Tesla Motors Inc. to offer dozens of free charging stations to top hosts, who hope to attract EV drivers as customers.
The hodgepodge of private charging stations has led to problems, however.
Different EVs have different standards and can’t always plug in to all charging infrastructure (ClimateWire, Aug. 1). For example, the top-selling electric car, the Leaf, can’t access Tesla’s network of Superchargers around the country. It can take 30 minutes to several hours to get a full charge, depending on the level of charging—not always convenient when on a road trip.
It took Thomson two hours to charge in Madera. At his next pit stop, a campground where he paid $20 to hook up to a recreational vehicle plug, it took eight.
For Ashley Horvat, PlugShare’s vice president for strategic initiatives, the private individuals offering up their home charging stations for public use highlight what’s wrong with current EV charging infrastructure: It’s scattered.
She said PlugShare was planning its own infrastructure network made up of fast-chargers along highways. The private company would be competing with utilities, many of whom are starting to build up charging stations to persuade people to buy EVs, and a handful of other charging networks.
“We want to fill in the gaps to provide more reliable infrastructure that’s more strategically planned,” Horvat said.
Most users sharing their charging stations—sometimes not more sophisticated than a wall outlet—are clean technology enthusiasts. John Hagler, a retiree in Madera and the man Thomson called in his emergency, powers his house with rooftop solar panels and has two electric vehicles of his own.
“To me, it’s a sharing network: If I need it, they’ll be there, and if they need it, I’ll be there,” he said.
Having solar panels also makes sharing electricity with a stranger conveniently free, he said. Some PlugShare users charge a couple of bucks or a per-hour rate for the parking spot, but few people are making money.
“This is more of an educational tool to bust the myth of the price of electricity,” said Sven Thesen, a chemical engineer turned “EV evangelist” in Palo Alto. He has what he calls the nation’s first custom-made curbside charging station, which he showed off at a recent ride-and-drive event. Hundreds of people have come to charge for free. Regular Michelle Goree, 45, who drives in from Antioch every day, said it’s “saved” her because there are no open stations near her workplace.
Last year, Thesen said he got $450 in donations and a couple of bottles of wine, enough to about cover the total cost of the electricity used.
But the new world of EV charging is raising real questions about reselling electricity.
More than a dozen states have passed legislation exempting resellers of electricity from being regulated as a utility, which allows them to charge per kilowatt-hour. The business model elsewhere is still unclear. Nissan and Tesla, which have built their own fast-charging stations, are offering free access to the network to new drivers for the first years. Some charging networks, like Blink, charge a per-kWh rate, but others, like ChargePoint, charge by time spent at the station.
Thomson said he probably wouldn’t do the electric road trip again until it became more convenient.
Can you summarize the current state of EV charging infrastructure in the US and the challenges EV drivers face when trying to charge their vehicles outside of EV-friendly cities?

Here is a piece of text: “Papa Leaves, Mama Lies, Grandma Dies” makes a balanced and stylized play out of familial strife and decay.
What a start to the new season! The hot new Gogol Center hit the ground running. Lyubimovka, as always, kicked everyone in the pants. The Meyerhold Center, after laying low a couple of seasons, is tossing out new shows like fireworks on a holiday. And that's just the beginning.
But let me get to one of those Roman candles.
"Papa Leaves, Mama Lies, Grandma Dies" at the Meyerhold Center is a spectacular new show that balances humor, irony, depth of meaning, stylized beauty and the grotesque with almost miraculous agility.
It's not everybody's cuppa tea, I'll say that right now. During the show I attended, more than a few disgruntled spectators struggled through the packed aisles of spectators to make early exits. One of the noisiest of them even drew a bemused look from one of the performers on stage — a reader of text who, at that moment, was not occupied.
Yes, a reader of text. You read that right.
The entire piece is narrated by three readers (Mikhail Yefimov, Svetlana Mikhalishcheva and Natalya Tereshkova) who stand at windows impassively but attentively looking into a closed, four-wall box designed by Yekaterina Shcheglova. The actors inside, playing members of a nuclear family, never say anything we can make out — unless you're good at lip reading at a distance through a plexiglass wall.
Director Yury Muravitsky, who staged the hit in-yer-face, rock 'n' roll-meets-docudrama "Light My Fire" at Teatr.doc a few seasons ago, came up with a completely different approach in "Papa Leaves." He and his cast nailed it with the same precision.
All kinds of associations come to mind. Is this a spoof of television? Is it futuristic theater? Is it 3-D comics? There is a bit of all that, I suspect. But primarily, this is a deeply insightful exploration of human psychology and the human experience.
It's done rather as Picasso did portraits in his Cubist period, pulling real and recognizable qualities out of a familiar image and putting them back together in a new setting.
This is where the text comes in, one of the most striking that I have encountered in theater in a while. The source is French author Fabienne Yvert's book, "Papa Leaves, Mama Lies, Grandma Dies." It was given a superb Russian sheen by Yekaterina Bondarenko.
Imagine Hemingway gone berserk: short, declarative sentences piling up against one another like speeding cars on the autobahn in the fog. Each one contradicts, ignores or refutes what preceded it.
Did Papa commit suicide, poison his family or escape to visit interesting places?
Each one of these claims is made matter-of-factly by the readers outside the box as we watch the slightly robotic figures inside enter and exit, eat, sleep, watch television, talk, fight, vacuum, celebrate birthdays and funerals, and daydream.
The basic events are what you would expect from a show with this title. Father (Grigory Kalinin) apparently leaves home, Mother (Svetlana Kamynina) struggles to cope with that, and Grandmother (Dmitry Arosyev), seeing an angel, follows it into the other world. The details of the story are told through the eyes of the children — a precocious girl (Cecil Plezhe) and her hard-headed brother (Artyom Semakin), whose thick beard and crooked baseball cap help build a marvelously skewed image.
They are made up of hundreds of diverse, mutually exclusive desires and impulses. How can we possibly know either Papa or Mama, with their unique, ever-changing urges for freedom? The phrases describing their inner worlds cascade down upon us, reminding us that a single individual actually comprises so many that it's impossible to define him or her with any concrete description.
In the end — and, because of the purposefully strange, amorphous nature of this production, I don't feel like I'm giving anything away — it may be that little which is declared in the title actually takes place. Maybe these events are merely passing impulses, electrical sparks in someone's brain?
I do think Grandma dies. Death we don't avoid.
But everything that comes before it — who knows? "Papa Leaves" is a colorful, sometimes rude, occasionally harrowing, frequently funny, often endearing, rarely trustworthy, but always thought-provoking ride through one family's absolutely unrepeatable experience.
"Papa Leaves, Mama Lies, Grandma Dies" (Papa Ukhodit, Mama Vryot, Babushka Umirayet) plays Sat. at 8 p.m. at the Meyerhold Center, located at 23 Novoslobodskaya Ulitsa. Metro Mendeleyevskaya. Tel. 495-363-1048. meyerhold.ru. Running time: 1 hour, 20 minutes.
Based on the text material above, generate the response to the following quesion or instruction: What are some of the associations and influences that come to mind when watching the play, and how does it explore human psychology and the human experience?

“Books are a uniquely portable magic.”~ Stephen King, author Michael Kozlowski, Editor in Chief of ‘Good e-Reader’, stated in an article that the book reading habit has seen an increase of 65% since the inception of e-books and audio books. Although the emergence of e-books has disrupted the publishing industry, the wide spread consumer interest in reading books has seen an epic leap; a leap that you might have also been a part of.
When television sets were first introduced, they were a luxury. A few years later, all that people did in their leisure was to flip through the TV channels. This led to a lull in other hobbies, including book reading. Right from 1980, most houses used books only as home décor! With the introduction of tablets, TV watching simply shifted to this new device, through the use of a variety of apps. Yes, we are all guilty of that, aren’t we? However, e-books and audio books were also dragged into the limelight, after a prolonged break.
It all began in 2006 with the release of Amazon’s Kindle, which introduced the concept if e-books on a tablet. By the end of 2011, the onset of smartphones and tablets saw an explosion in the demand for e-books and audio books. In January 2012, the American Association of Publishers reported that e-book sales had soared over 49.4% only in the 18 years and above book category; the children’s and young adult category saw a 475.1% leap. Astonishing isn’t it? With so many apps available for book reading, such as Moon+ Reader and the famous Amazon Kindle, the choice of books available has become limitless. People tend to choose e-books simply because it offers so much more, making thousands of books available in the palm of your hands. Also, audio books have set a major trend. Apps, such as LibriVox Audio Books, eliminate the added strain for your eyes, a rather convenient option during a crowded commute. All this technology ferment is changing the old laid back ways, allowing many people to discover and read those long forgotten classics.

The holidays are fast approaching and with their imminent arrival comes holiday spending; people are ready to spend more preparing for the holidays. With the right planning, we identify the best strategies to help our clients capitalize on this period to drive results and increase revenue.
According to the National Retail Federation’s post Black Friday 2017 report, 64 million U.S. customers shopped both online and in-store last year and 58 million shopped online only. That’s over 120 million American consumers who made a purchase online, in contrast to the reported 50 million consumers who shopped exclusively in-store. Furthermore, even offline purchases are influenced by the information online. 7 out of 10 people who made an offline purchase had researched online beforehand. What this means for brands is that to capitalise on the increased consumer intent to buy, brands need to ensure that their websites are informative, easy to use and relevant. This translates to: page load speeds should be optimized, product information should be up-to-date and helpful, and the location of your brick and mortar stores should be easy to locate.
There are always going to be the shoppers ripping into the mall parking lot on Christmas Eve, but the data suggests that that customer group is shrinking. According to Google, by the end of November, 82% of consumers have already found ideas for half of their gifts, which means they have most likely already spent a considerable amount of time researching their purchases.
To capture the attention of those shoppers at that phase, we recommend starting early using higher in the funnel awareness tactics. This means focusing on display, shopping/product listing ads, broad search terms and television at least a month out from any seasonal event. You may not see an immediate return on these tactics, but these early investments in brand and product awareness will pay dividends as the holidays approach and people start thinking about their purchases. There should also be emphasis on mobile creative for this stage of the funnel; most consumers window shop on mobile and then make the purchase via desktop or in store.
We recommend looking at your holiday sales from the previous year to forecast what sales might look like this year. This will help you set realistic targets and objectives and decide on an appropriate budget for your seasonal campaign. Expect to heavy up in November and December, but by how much depends on several factors, such as your brand awareness, industry, product range and audience size (to name a few).
Additionally, leveraging customer data from last year’s holiday season isn’t just a learning exercise, it is a potential market that should be catered to. Reach out to last years customers with special offers and discounts through a targeted newsletter campaign. Customer lists can also be used to reach potential new customers who are like your existing base; this can be achieved through lookalike targeting or similar audiences.
Consider This, so your Customers Consider You.
For those consumers who are lower in the funnel and might have put you on their list of gifts to give but may have not yet pulled the trigger to purchase, there are a few tactics that can tip the odds in your favour and stop competitors swooping in on a potential sale. Do your research (because you can be sure that they will) and make sure that your pricing is competitive (especially during the promotional period). Furthermore, there are additional ways to set yourself apart from your competition that don’t rely solely on price. Make sure you provide transparency in relation to lead times, shipping costs, delivery dates and inventory levels on your product page before they make the purchase. There is nothing more frustrating than confirming an order only to find out it will arrive after Christmas.
For those customers who visit your site but don’t make a purchase, retarget your ads to them by heavying up on remarketing tactics. Leverage your creative to remind users of why they visited your website, the products they were considering, and consider using a deeper discount or remarketing offer to push those people over the finish line.
In summary, marrying the right mix of awareness and lower in the funnel consideration and conversion tactics will help drive results and increase the performance of your holiday marketing strategy.

Maple syrup is a 100% pure and natural product that contains no coloring or additives.
Mother Nature has a lot to do with maple syrup’s color and taste, which vary with changes in sap composition during sugar season. However, this does not affect syrup quality in any way.
These changes in maple water composition affect the colour and flavour of the maple syrup in different ways depending on the point in the season.
At the beginning of the season, the syrup is generally clearer with a delicately sweet taste (Golden, delicate taste, Amber, rich taste). It becomes increasingly darker and caramelized as the season advances (Dark, robust taste and Very dark, strong taste), but with no loss of quality. Based on the passage above, Can you explain how the taste and color of maple syrup are affected by changes in sap composition during sugar season?

How does the cell build functional signalling complexes at the plasma membrane?
What are the requirements to create a responsive endocytic platform?
The principle driving force of our laboratory is to uncover physico-chemical rules that govern local organization of the cell membrane and connect this to cellular and organismal physiology.
To study phenomena at the cellular scale, we utilize principles from the physical sciences to frame questions about movement of molecules and organelles inside cells. We have also have developed numerous microscopy tools to study organization of cellular components, from the nanometer scale in specialized domains in cell membranes to the micron scale prevalent in mapping endocytic pathways. We study sorting properties and endocytic pathways of a variety of molecules, including membrane proteins, lipids and lipid-tethered proteins in vivo. Our studies provide a compelling picture of the cell membrane as an active composite of the lipid bilayer and a dynamic cortical actin layer beneath, wherein, dynamic actin filaments help in controlling the local composition of membranes, and shaping endocytic trafficking.
The trajectory of this work has led us to explore the fine structure of the plasma membrane, providing for the first time an in vivo picture of lipidic assemblies providing a new understanding of how membrane rafts may be created, an understanding of the role of specialized endocytic mechanisms for the establishment of developmental gradients and the regulation of membrane tension.
How do dynamic actin filaments help control the local composition of membranes and shape endocytic trafficking in the cell?

Given the text: Joseph M. Hart, PhD, ATC is an assistant professor of orthopaedic research at the University of Virginia, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. Dr. Hart also has an academic appointment in the Curry School of Education where he teaches and mentors graduate students in the Sports Medicine and Athletic Training Program. Dr. Hart earned his BS degree in Sports Medicine from Marietta College, MS in Athletic Training from West Virginia University and a PhD in Sports Medicine from the University of Virginia. Dr. Hart has been a certified and Licensed athletic trainer since 1997 with experience at the high school level, college, professional sports and clinic settings. Dr. Hart’s research focus is in the area of neuromuscular consequences of joint injury, in particular neuromuscular factors that contribute to the progression of osteoarthritis following ACL reconstruction and factors that contribute to the low back pain recurrence.
The nearly ubiquitous incidence of early-onset osteoarthritis in the post-traumatic knee makes research in this patient group exciting and challenging. Among the many contributing factors are exercise-related neuromuscular changes in the presence of muscle dysfunction. I have investigated the effects of gender, core instability and previous joint injury on quadriceps muscle function, balance and neuromuscular performance during activities. Therefore, my research will continue to focus on basic science (including animal models), translational and clinical trials research to provide the best evidence based treatments for active persons who are at risk for knee injury, re-injury and degeneration.
How does muscle dysfunction contribute to the progression of osteoarthritis following ACL reconstruction, and what factors have Dr. Hart examined in his research on this topic?

Hello! This is Melissa with you, and I’m super excited show you the mini album I created using all the leftover bits & pieces from my July Kit and add-ons!
As soon as I saw the acrylic mini albums that Elle offered, I knew I needed to make a brag book for my mom featuring her grand-baby! I had pieces left over from the July 2018 Kit and from the various extra embellishments offered last month and I thought that would be a great way to “kill that kit” by creating a mini book.
I always create my mini books by constructing the pages and pictures first. I used up a lot of the 3″ x 4″ journaling tags I had left and a couple of the 4″ x 6″ journaling tags. I supplemented these with various patterned papers from both the Shine and the Noteworthy 6″ x 6″ Paper Stack.
After I create my pages, I start embellishing the spreads. I used die cuts, stickers, alphabet stickers, chipboard, wood veneer, and lots of stamps! Stamps are such a great product to use with mini books as they don’t add any extra bulk to your pages.
Once I get my pages all built, I then go back and add the punched holes and slip them onto the book rings. I didn’t know how I wanted to create the title to my mini album and I loved the clean fresh look of the Pink Acrylic Album.
I decided to create a “cover page” for my album and let that peek through the acrylic! I LOVED how it turned out. I put my Title Builder Stamp Sets Vol 1 and Vol 2 to good use to create my title – they made it SO easy! I slipped an Acrylic Star onto the book ring on the front of the album to add a little texture to the front.
How are you going to “kill your kit” with the July supplies? A mini album is a GREAT way to finish off all those little bits and bobs! Plus, it’s always fun to create a little something for someone and gift it to them. How did Melissa decide to create the title for her mini album, and what did she do to add texture to the front cover?
