Abstract--In smart grids, smart meters may potentially be attacked or compromised to cause certain security risks. It is challenging to identify malicious meters when there are a large number of users. In this talk, we explore the malicious meter inspection (MMI) problem in neighborhood area smart grids. We propose a suite of inspection algorithms in a progressive manner. First, we present a basic scanning method, which takes linear time to accomplish inspection. The scanning method is efficient when the malicious meter ratio is high. Then, we propose a binary-tree-based inspection algorithm, which performs better than scanning when the malicious meter ratio is low. Then, we employ an adaptive-tree-based algorithm, which leverages advantages of both the scanning and binary-tree inspections. Our approaches are tailored to fit both static and dynamic situations. The theoretical and experimental results have shown the effectiveness of the adaptive tree approach.
Furthermore, we propose three novel detectors to detect Non-Technical Loss (NTL) frauds in Smart Grid. These detectors model an adversary's behavior and detect NTL frauds based on several numerical analysis methods which are lightweight and non-traditional. The first detector is named NTL Fraud Detection (NFD) which is based on Lagrange polynomial. NFD can detect a single tampered meter as well as multiple tampered meters in a group. The second detector is based on Recursive Least Square (RLS), which is named Fast NTL Fraud Detection (FNFD). FNFD is proposed to improve the detection speed of NFD. Colluded NTL Fraud Detection (CNFD) is the third detector that we propose to detect colluded NTL frauds. We have also studied the parameter selection and performance of these detectors.

Abstract--Robots are expected to elicit more active communication and provide life support for humans. Social robots have found a number of applications in many aspects of our daily life, including elderly care and therapeutic purposes (e.g. therapy for children with autism). The critical role of robots here is to interact with and assist humans in their every-day activities. Considering a wide variety of users, the robots should be also capable of deciding what kind of services and interactions they perform. The accurate and autonomous evaluation is needed through the technology, especially if the users are people with special needs. For this “user-centered” human-robot interaction, this requires that the social robots can learn the user’s states and be able to respond to it accordingly. The main topic of this talk is her current work, including CARESSES project (http://caressesrobot.org/en/), regarding the social robots for healthcare.

Just a few short years ago, LED (light-emitting diode) lighting technology seemed poised to take over lighting for film and television. The technology promised significantly greater energy and heat efficiency than existing technologies. LEDs required much less power, were cool to the touch, didn’t heat up sets and, in general, seemed to be the way of the future. Yet here we are a few years later and massive arrays of LED lights are still missing from feature film sets. What happened?
Unlike the film business, LED lighting has made sizable inroads into the television and news markets—lighting directors and station managers point to LEDs’ relatively low energy consumption and lack of heat output—but if you visit a feature film set these days, you’re likely to encounter traditional Tungsten, HMI and fluorescent lighting much more often than you’ll see LEDs, especially when it comes to lighting talent rather than sets.
Until just a few years ago, the most commonly available LED lighting products were panel lights, based upon inexpensive 5mm bulbs sourced from various Chinese manufacturers. When LED lighting for image creation came to market a few years ago, there were no open-face single-source LED lights available and no LED Fresnels, limiting how cinematographers and lighting directors could artistically utilize the technology.
On the first-generation LED panels, the light cast by hundreds of individual LED bulbs resulted in strange shadows when lighting talent, especially faces, necessitating either bouncing the panels into a reflector or diffusing the light through a soft box or an umbrella, reducing the already modest light output of the panels even further. Relatively low output could be accommodated by doubling up on panels, but there were still other downsides that have proved difficult for cinematographers to work around.
The first-generation LED panels had a low color rendering index (CRI), a quantitative measure of the ability of a light source to reveal the color of various objects faithfully in comparison with an ideal or a natural light source. Without high CRI, skin tones can appear unnatural and difficult to color correct because portions of the light spectrum are either missing or disproportionately high. The first generation of 5mm LEDs had a high level of green output sometimes, depending on the how the camera was white-balanced, resulting in greenish, unnatural skin tones. The first-generation LEDs also had relatively low output in relation to cost. Colors shifted when the lights were dimmed. These were all limitations that manufacturers set out to resolve.
The second generation of pro LED lighting has begun hitting the market from key players like ARRI, Cineo, Creamsource, Litepanels and many others. High-quality Fresnel and open-face instruments have appeared. The appeal of LED lighting has grown as the products have evolved. The new lights have greater output, utility and ease of use. Most importantly, the CRI for the second generation of LED lighting has increased significantly, with most of the new LEDs boasting CRI ratings as high as 95.
TOP: Cineo Lighting’s TruColor LS delivers a soft light optimized for image capture, with an extended CRI of over 95. ABOVE: Cineo’s Remote Phosphor Technology eliminates the color-accuracy limitations found in most LED lights.
LED manufacturers have developed and refined their own individual technologies for increasing CRI. Cineo Lighting manufactures several models of the next generation of LEDs, utilizing a design called RPT, or Remote Phosphor Technology, to significantly increase CRI. Instead of relying on the LEDs as the direct source of illumination, TruColor fixtures rely on a separate phosphor substrate to emit high-quality predictable light when excited by the high-frequency wavelengths from blue LEDs. The result is a continuous linear spectrum that’s unlike any other digital light. RPT employs a transparent surface onto which a special phosphor coating is applied. These phosphors are excited at two precise wavelengths, in this case, with LEDs completely separated from the phosphor substrate, resulting in very stable high-CRI white lights.
New technology not withstanding, why do many feature film cinematographers still seem hesitant to wholeheartedly embrace LED technology, particularly for lighting talent? As a longtime manufacturer of tungsten and HMI lighting, as well as their recent development of cutting-edge LED Fresnel lighting, ARRI is in a unique position to receive unbiased feedback from their customers since ARRI can supply them with traditional Tungsten and HMI products, as well as cutting-edge modern instruments like ARRI’s LED Fresnel lights.
In speaking with manufacturers and users, there doesn’t seem to be a hard and fast answer as to why feature films have been slower to embrace LED technology than their television brethren. Based upon conversations with several cinematographers, gaffers and manufacturers, it appears that as the technology behind LED lighting continues to evolve, and output and color accuracy increase, more and more feature film cinematographers and gaffers are warming to the idea of putting LED lighting to work. Fulfilling the director’s vision to produce compelling images can go hand in hand with lower power consumption, efforts to be more green and reducing the need for air conditioning to keep sets, crew and actors cool.
Stay tuned for the first studio feature film to be completely lit by only LED lighting technology; by all accounts, it will be happening momentarily.

by ŞAHİN ALPAYFrench President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who seem to be determined to preserve the European Union as a “Christian Club,” first saw to it that former Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen, a politician detested in the Muslim world, was appointed secretary-general of NATO. They did not even fail to chide Turkey, a member of NATO since 1952, for objecting to that most inappropriate appointment.
by MİLLİYET’s HASAN CEMALOf course the creation of new diplomatic relations and the opening of borders between Turkey and Armenia are very important. And we need to recognize and commend the “political determination” on this front displayed by both Ankara and Yerevan. But still, this is not enough.

Italian yacht maker Absolute was a discovery to me at the recent Cannes boat show, and I was interested to hear that they are now keenly looking to the Asian region for more boaters.
On first approach to the Absolute showcase, I was struck by the angular and aggressive styling on the exteriors.
A lot of glass and glazing along the sides of nearly all of the Absolute range, which covers from a sporting 40-footer up to the flagship 72 Flybridge, was a key design point.
The early days of the Cannes show were marked by unusually inclement weather, with gusting winds and whitecaps in the bay just beyond the Cannes marina giving pause to several makers not wishing to expose flaws in their sun-soaking designs.
Our test morning was quite different – calm seas and virtually no breeze. I was initially disappointed, hoping to see how a bit of chop might affect our 72 Flybridge trial boat. That disappointment didn’t last long, and it wasn’t just because the boat turned out quite nicely. Stepping onboard, one finds relatively easy ascension to the aft main deck, with prominent handholds all about.
The aft deck is a pleasant area, with teck decking all about and manual sliding doors leading into the main deck saloon. For the yacht that Absolute had on display, the styling was to my taste – elegant but subdued. A fine matching of woods and fabrics came together to create a palette of tans and browns that was pleasing to the eye. My Chinese compatriots were wishing for something a bit more glamorous, but Absolute can certainly offer customisation of the materials and to some degree, the layout.
Walking through the saloon and forward to the lower helm station, it was nice to see easy to reach handholds and a complete lack of sharp edges or corners. At the least, you know that Absolute gives some weight to sea-friendliness. The saloon features excellent views of the sea thanks to those large windows and the natural light is welcome. The layout on our boat had the galley on the port side, with a dining area right behind the lower deck helm station. Rather than opting to create a large, open area on the main deck, Absolute opted for two discrete spaces – dining and relaxation. Asian owners could opt to move the galley elsewhere and open the space more for larger groups.
The helm station on the main deck is nicely laid out and the view is excellent, which should make prospective captains happy, should inclement weather arise. Forward on the bow, one finds a pleasant sitting area and bow sunpads.
The passage from the aft deck up to the bow is secure, with a firm handrail and ample width. A handy side door has been included on the starboard side main deck helm station, which lets the captain get a good view.
Down below, one finds spacious cabins with sleeping space for up to eight people. Forward is the VIP cabin with plenty of room around the aft-facing bed, thanks to the fullness of the bow. Aft are two twin cabins, and then amidships, there is a lovely master cabin.
Here, one’s earthly comforts are well-tended to. Spacious and full beam the master cabin is a pleasant place to be. Large side windows give plenty of light, while seating areas on either side are genuinely comfortable and could easily be a place to read when a moment of quiet is needed. A large vanity desk and huge mirror will certainly be appreciated by the lady of the yacht who wishes to look her best when getting ready to disembark, perhaps for a soiree or cocktail reception at the marina.
The massive bathroom will also be appreciated, as it has a very large shower area (big enough for two, three at a pinch) and ample space to the sides for hanging closets. Spanning nearly the entire beam of the yacht, the bathroom is also situated between the master cabin and the engine room, adding some sound insulation for nighttime operations.
Heading up to the flybridge, which measures at least half the overall length of the yacht, one finds the place to be on this yacht. The stairway up feels secure, with good hand holds and a climbing angle that’s not too steep. The fully equipped wet bar is located right next to the stairs, letting crew come and go without disturbing guests. Facing the wet bar is a large table and c-shaped settee with plenty of room. The radar arch, which has been positioned more aft, contains a rain shower with drain located underneath – a nice way to cool off when the sun is up. The aft area on our yacht contained a couple of sun loungers and some cool stowage for drinks, though this apparently can be modified to suit owner’s requirements.
The flybridge helm station is aligned to the port side, and has an extra helm seat for a passenger. To starboard, a large settee transforms into a big sunpad with the push of a lever. This proved a very popular spot on our short trial.
As our 72 Fly headed out into the calm waters around Cannes, we were treated to a fantastic sight that, for a moment, reduced the yacht to being just a vessel. A humpback whale was spotted about 700 metres off our port-side bow. The captain, who had been preparing to rev up the engines to demonstrate the yacht’s acceleration, brought the boat to idle and then gently directed the yacht towards the whale, whose tail continuously breached the surface.
Approaching quietly, the 72 Fly displayed considerable silence at lower speeds, though some shuddering was noticeable. The whale had left. So after a bit of waiting, it was time to resume the test. The captain hit the flybridge throttles, and off we went.
The 72 Fly accelerates reasonably quickly, and exhibited a cushioned ride. Though we had little in the way of waves to play in, the captain took us in a few doughnuts to catch our own wake. The boat handled this well, with the full bow offering gentle motions and good dampening as we pushed through some wake. Though we didn’t have a chance to see the boat handle some tougher conditions, it’s most likely that buyers of Absolutes will be using the yacht as a day boat.
In that, with its capacity for 16 people, it will serve nicely.
Indeed, our test trial had 13 people up on the flybridge enjoying the breeze, and doing so in comfort and without any squeezing. That’s not a bad statement for the flybridge designer.
Taking a turn at the controls, I found that the helm station offered good sightlines down to the bow and to the sides. A handy sunshield prevented any glare from the displays, and with everything at hand, you feel in control of the yacht. In calm conditions, you can pretty much let go of the wheel and the yacht remains on course quite comfortably. Running through 1800rpm, the yacht easily maintained a steady 17.5 knots, with consumption running at 119 litres/hour total.
Hitting the throttles, we maxed out at 2400rpm, with speeds hitting just over 30 knots in calm conditions. This was plenty fast for the wind-in-your-hair experience. Of course, fuel consumption also jumped quickly, but it’s very likely that drivers will keep to the comfy cruising speed of about 25 knots at 2200rpm. With a consumption rate of 250 litres/hour, that yields an approximate range of about 350 nautical miles at cruise.
Taking my turn to run over some wakes and higher speeds, one of the guests spotted our whale blowing out near the surface. Amid excited shouts, we sped over to the vicinity and then brought the engines to near idle. As I was on the helm, I had the chance to try gentle manoeuvres as we aimed to get close to the whale without scaring it. Though ultimately unsuccessful, our attempts and the fine response of the 72 showed just how much fun a yacht can be in the right circumstances.
The abrupt movements proved no danger to the crowd gathered on the flybridge, as everyone seemed to find the handholds they needed to stay safe – a very good sign.
On returning to the marina and the rest of the show, the crew took a few moments to demonstrate some extra features of the 72. First, the yacht has GPS-based anchoring system, which allows the helmsman to plug in some coordinates, which the on-board computer then uses to maintain a constant position. The second was the mere act of berthing the boat in its show spot. We had to back through several rows of yachts and the aft deck joystick control station proved perfect for the job (though the crew certainly had much to do with apparent ease of operation...).
A last look at the engine room showed good spacing, thanks to the compact nature of the Volvo IPS system. That space was put to get use in creating a compact crew area big enough for two, though a captain might feel a little hard done by. However, if the yacht is used as a comfy day boat, this shouldn’t be an issue. There is even space enough in the crew cabin, located aft and accessed via a port-side transom hatch, for a small galley and head, letting the crew leave guests alone when at anchor.
The Absolute 72 Fly is a spacious boat that’s great for entertaining, especially up on that lovely fly. Released during the spring/summer of 2012, Absolute’s new flagship offers a lot of yacht for a relatively good price. Though there’s nothing earthshattering about its designs, what Absolute does do is deliver good value for money. And there’s plenty to be said for that.

PBMs told investors it would find “an alternate funding /pricing structure” to offset lost rebate dollars.
IN SUMMARY: PBMs are keeping a smaller share of rebates and passing more along to their clients. Instead, PBMs are collecting more revenue through various fees — the same shift the Trump administration envisions — and through a practice called “spread pricing,” according to a Pew analysis.

Long-range communications using high frequency (HF) radio waves (3 - 30 MHz) depend on reflection of the signals in the ionosphere. Radio waves are typically reflected near the peak of the F2 layer (~300 km altitude), but along the path to the F2 peak and back the radio wave signal suffers attenuation due to absorption by the intervening ionosphere.
Absorption is the process by which the energy of radio waves is converted into heat and electromagnetic (EM) noise through interactions between the radio wave, ionospheric electrons, and the neutral atmosphere (for a more extensive description of the absorption process see Davies, 1990). Most of the absorption occurs in the ionospheric D region (50–90 km altitude) where the product of the electron density and the electron-neutral collision frequency attains a maximum. Within this region the neutral density is relatively constant over time, so variations in the local electron density drive the total amount of absorption. The electron density is a function of many parameters and normally varies with local time, latitude, season, and over the solar cycle. These "natural" changes are predictable, and affect absorption only moderately at the lowest HF frequencies. Much more significant changes to the absorption strength are seen as a result of sudden increases of electron density in the D region (the classic short wave fade) due to, for example, solar X-ray flares on the dayside or solar proton precipitation in the polar regions.
Solar X-ray flares have significant emission in the 0.1-0.8 nm [1-8 Å] wavelength range. This is important because these wavelengths ionize the D region, dramatically increasing local electron density, and hence the total EM absorption. The flares, which can last from a few minutes to several hours, are rated C, M, or X according to the 0.1-0.8 nm flux as measured by instruments on the GOES satellites. To qualify as a C-class flare the flux, F, must fall within the range 10-6 ≤ F < 10-5 W·m-2, for M-class 10-5 ≤ F < 10-4 W·m-2, and X-class F ≥ 10-4 W·m-2. In standard notation the letters act as multipliers, for example C3.2 equates to a flux of 3.2 x 10-6 W·m-2. The C, M, and X classification is based on the full-disk X-ray emission from the sun. During periods of high solar activity, such as solar maximum, the background flux may increase to C-class levels for days at a time, even without flare activity. The D region electron density is directly driven by the total X-ray flux regardless of the source, so these periods of high background flux are equally important to radio absorption. Due to geometric effects, D region ionization by solar X-rays is greatest at the sub-solar point, where the sun is directly overhead. The amount of ionization and absorption falls with distance away from the sub-solar point, reaching zero at the day/night terminator. The night-side of the Earth is unaffected.
The precipitation of protons (as well as other ions) into the earth’s atmosphere during the Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) events can also create significant enhancements of ionospheric electron densities in the D region. Solar protons with energies between 1 to 200 MeV are primarily responsible for most of ionization of the D region and, consequently, for the ionospheric absorption of HF radio waves. Because of shielding of the earth by its magnetic field SEPs find easy access to the atmosphere only in high latitude regions around the earth’s geomagnetic poles. Such occurrences are therefore termed Polar Cap Absorption (PCA) events. The latitudinal extent of the polar cap in turn is determined by the disturbance level of the geomagnetic field, which is typically characterized by geomagnetic indices such as Kp. Determination of the rate of ion-pair production due to the propagation of energetic particles through the atmosphere requires the input particle spectrum, which is best provided by direct satellite observations, as well as a realistic model of the atmospheric density. Determination of the effective recombination coefficients which determine the resulting electron density profiles is less certain. These parameters depend upon a complex atmospheric chemistry and so upon altitude, time of day, season, and solar illumination. As a consequence of these dependencies, the day-time and night-time recombination and detachment rates are significantly different and therefore result in quite different levels of absorption for same incident energetic particle spectrum.
The D Region Absorption Product addresses the operational impact of the solar X-ray flux and SEP events on HF radio communication.
The main product consists of following four dynamic components: a global map of the highest frequency affected by absorption of 1 dB due to either solar X-ray flux or SEP events or a combination of both, an attenuation bar graph, status messages, and an estimated recovery clock. Each of these components is described below. All of the components update continuously, driven by one-minute GOES X-ray flux data and by five-minute GOES proton flux data.
To complement the global frequency map, polar projection maps of the highest frequency affected by absorption of 10 dB due to primarily to SEP events are also available by clicking on the North Pole and South Pole links. The Tabular Values link displays numeric values of the frequency map in 5 degree latitude and 15 degree longitude increments.
The global and polar frequency maps graphically illustrate the Highest Affected Frequency (HAF) as a function of latitude and longitude. For the global map we define HAF as the frequency which suffers a loss of 1 dB during vertical propagation from the ground, through the ionosphere, and back to ground. Radio frequencies lower than the HAF suffer an even greater loss as described in the Attenuation Bar Graph section. Since the ionization rates and absorption during SEP events are generally larger, for the polar maps we define HAF as the frequency which suffers a loss of 10 dB during vertical propagation to the ionosphere and back to the ground.
At other geographic locations the HAF becomes lower, based on the solar zenith angle χ dependence. The degraded frequencies taper off from the maximum as (cosχ)0.75. For example, an M5.0 flare shows a HAF of 20 MHz at the sub-solar point decreasing to zero at the day/night terminator.
These values are assumed to be effective for the solar elevation angle greater than 10o or smaller than -10o, respectively. In the twilight zone between the two limits a bilinear interpolation in the solar elevation angle is adopted. The geographic extent of the affected polar region is derived from a numerical model of the proton cutoff energy as a function of invariant latitude and geomagnetic activity index Kp (Sauer and Wilkinson, 2008). The cutoff energy then replaces the energy thresholds in the above expressions for Ad and An in order to include only protons able to reach the altitude of 50 km.
where A1 = 1 dB. For the polar projection map, the frequency f10 attenuated by 10 dB is calculated using the same equation but with A1replaced by A10 = 10 dB.
A bar graph on the right-hand side of the graphic displays the expected attenuation in decibels as a function of frequency for vertical radio wave propagation at the point of maximum absorption Amax on the globe. This graph is only valid at this point, although users can re-create it for any location using the tabular data. The displayed values can also be scaled to approximately account for oblique radio wave propagation using the 1/sin(α) dependence, where α is the elevation angle of the propagation path.
Where "Background" refers to the previous day's background x-ray flux. It is estimated by using the lower of two values, either (a) the average of 1-minute data between 0800 UT and 1600 UT, or (b) the average of the 0000 UT to 0800 UT and the 1600 UT to 2400 UT data.
The above values are fit using the following set of equations, where k = log[2 × background flux]. In order to determine which equation to use, the algorithm sequentially tests the current x-ray flux against the listed criteria.
where flux is measured in protons per cm2·s·sr.
In the case of overlapping X-ray and SEP events, the estimated recovery time clock displays the longest of the two recovery times.
The program uses the current X-ray and proton flux data to re-calculate the estimated recovery time every minute. It is therefore possible that the clock will not countdown sequentially as it updates. For example, if the duration of an X-ray flare is extremely short, the clock might read 25 min, 20 min, 15 min, 5 min after each update. Conversely, if the duration is especially long, the clock might read 25 min, 25 min, 25 min, 24 min, ect. as it updates. Likewise, during the rising phase of SEP events, the estimated time to recovery may be substantially underestimated until the peak flux value is reached.
When the flux is increasing or no event is in progress, the dialog box displays "No Estimate".

We are trying to recreate our traditions and ‘bend’ our reality to match the Christmas we know back in the States.
Here are some images below of how it looks so far…with Santa on his way tonight.
The countdown started with 20+ days to go and the Christmas specials on the laptop were rotated in every night without exception thanks to iTunes and YouTube. You can see our new stockings (everyone got their own one) and our store bought tree.
This tree had a steady week of homemade decorations added to it. This was day one.
Letters to Santa can be mailed from everywhere.
But preferably they are requesting toys that have already been ‘located’ in the town you are in.
Santa hits all malls in the world simultaneously which is convenient. Again, make sure to ask for toys already confirmed in the region.
Hot chocolate and candy canes can be enjoyed in 80 degree weather. That is either 180 celsius or -45 celsius, still working on the exact formula.
Just taking a wild guess that Santa’s tastes run the same internationally we went out on a limb to make him some sugar cookies. The boys tasted them periodically to insure a quality product.
Which brings us to today. Hours from now Santa will be breaking and entering and taking credit for other people’s efforts.
Hope you all have a great next 36 hours…or 48 hours depending on where you are in the world. And ponder this…does Santa’s sleigh driving change depending on what side of the road they drive on in that country? South Africa is the left side. Santa probably has it worked out by now.
Merry Christmas Repaks! We went to the grocery store today and concluded that it isn’t much fun with kids no matter which country you are in.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Wilsons.
Merry Christmas, Wilson’s!! One of the things I’ve most admired about you is the depths you’ll go to getting into the holiday spirit. You’ve used those ‘skills’ brilliantly and while your kids will give Santa the credit for the gifts (hilarious thought by the way!), they’ll definitely appreciate what you’ve done for them as do the rest of us looking on.
Thanks Andy! You too will have your chance to do the same next Christmas.
Thanks Kyle. Merry Christmas to you guys!
Merry Christmas Wilsons! I adore the photos and all of your traditions. Miss you, enjoy the rest of your celebrations.
Merry Christmas Wilson’s! I should have known thousands of miles and the whole of the Atlantic Ocean would be no obstacle to the timely delivery of the Wilson’s (truly fabulous) family christmas card!
P.S. beautiful wood floors and stained glass door you have there! Beautiful boys too….
Merry Christmas Wilsons! We love the updates and photography– So Awesome! Our tin foil Christmas tree with ornaments made out of cereal boxes in Lamu Kenya is still our favorite tree ever– and we still hang the paper ornaments on our mantle…. Those memories will last forever…. Nice work you guys!! Best wishes for a safe and healthy 2013!!
Thanks Geoff! Same to your family.
Merry Xmas to the Nelsons! Loved your recent photo shoot.
You two are such an adventurous pair. Your boys are adorable and growing up so quickly! Enjoy yourselves overseas! Ashley and Jack are currently living in London. If you head that way, perhaps you can look them up. We have enjoyed having Kyle and Lindsay around before they head south to find a home of their own. Please keep the emails and photos coming our way. You take such creative and beautiful photos! I so enjoy viewing them! Miss you all!
Great to hear from you Diane. The boys are growing up fast, we are trying to keep Tate from turning 7 in March. He keeps telling everyone he is turning 7 in Dubai, but actually he will be in Portugal at that time 🙂 Thanks for the compliments on the photos. We try.
love your updates! happy new year to your family!!!! i would love to know how you guys find your lodging in each place? do you do vrbo? selling our house before we get into a new build and thinking this might be a perfect time for an adventure! would love to know the best resources!!! so inspired!!
Thanks so much for your message. That sounds like the perfect time for an adventure 😉 We have used AirBnb.com and Vrbo and FlipKey.com. I have your email, I can reach out to you personally for more info if you’d like. I could also give you a call. When are you thinking about going on a trip and where are you interested in going?

Extensively renovated with an open concept living space, a wall of windows overlooking the lake and a custom DeCoste kitchen this is a welcoming spot. The main floor is rounded out by a sunroom with walls of windows, a bedroom and a full bath. The rear foyer that is now laundry could easily be partitioned into a second main floor bedroom. The lower level offers an open concept suite with bath and laundry. The sweeping front deck takes full advantage of the location. The property is a double lot with a large garage/workshop and garden shed. The hill has been terraced for a garden. Only 20 minutes from all amenities (though you will never want to leave) this is a great find.


text: It's very easy to construct this royal python setup. The vivarium and cabinet come with instructions and should take around 20 minutes per unit to construct. They mostly use locking screws so don't worry if you make a mistake, they can be taken apart and re-built. Once the vivarium is constructed you will want to seal the joints inside with aquarium sealant. This will extend the life of your vivarium and keep the joints water resistant. Make sure the panels are all clean and as dry as possible before applying. Once applied you will want to leave the enclosure for at least 6 hours so the silicone can set and the fumes can disperse.

Studying anthropology might seem far removed from the restaurant business but for CSU alumna Julie Hutchison, studying humans and their societies was a perfect primer for creating a community-focused eatery that caters to the health and wellness of its customers.
Hutchison co-owns the Root Café, a vegetarian eatery in Lakewood, with partner Bobby Breitenstein. On top of being a prominent destination for locally sourced, organic cuisine, the café has become a community center, hosting music events, poetry readings, art exhibitions and local neighborhood meetings. Its growing reputation as a Lakewood staple led to the restaurant being selected by MSNBC as the host for one of its live broadcasts during the 2016 Ohio Presidential Primary.
Hutchison first got into the restaurant business while working her way through CSU. She started at Phoenix Coffee Company as a barista then ultimately become the store manager. When the owner decided to sell in 1999 he offered Hutchison the first chance to take over the business. She agreed and became the full time owner while still going to CSU part time, completing her Bachelor of Arts degree in anthropology with a minor in dance in 2005.
Hutchison would bring Breitenstein on as a partner and the two would expand the business over the next decade before deciding they wanted a larger restaurant with a different focus. This led to the opening of the Root Café in 2009. The restaurant features a full vegetarian menu and also includes a community garden which is maintained by café employees and produces ingredients used at the Root. The café was named the best vegetarian restaurant in the region by the Cleveland Hot List in 2015.
Hutchison has also remained highly committed to promoting the arts as a community resource, a passion that was enhanced during her time on campus by CSU dance professor Lynn Deering, who remains a friend and mentor. She currently leads a cultural exchange between U.S. and Cuban artists and will be taking a group of musicians and dancers there in May of 2017 for the Guarapachanga Music Festival in Pinar Del Rio.
Hutchison says that her father wanted her to get a business degree and was uneasy when she decided to major in anthropology and dance in college.
“Now that I am a pretty successful businesswoman he thinks it worked out ok,” she jokes.

Intelligent mobility has become a popular phrase in thoughts and discussions around the complex and varied challenges faced by towns and cities in their quest to reduce journey times and traffic congestion in and around urban areas. Encouraging travellers onto public transport networks is one obvious solution with the added bonus of increased safety and reduced CO2 and noise pollution.
New paradigms for the way we plan and execute journeys must be set and the concept of mobility as a service (Maas) is gathering momentum. Travellers are encouraged to view and plan their journey as an end-to-end process integrating the constituent parts into one seamless mission. As with so many challenges faced both today and into the future, it is technology that will lead the revolution and generate the behavioural changes necessary to positively improve the urban environment.
Transport for West Midlands, part of the West Midlands Combined Authority in the UK, provide a series of Park and Ride car parks at railway stations across their network. These sites serve as an interchange between road and rail transport systems, encouraging commuters away from roads and on to trains. However, this in itself presented a key challenge. How to overcome difficulties and frustrations faced by drivers searching for a vacant space at multiple busy train station car parks?
Drivers were arriving at Park and Ride car parks earlier and earlier in order to ensure they would find parking at their preferred car park. This hyper-congestion at peak times meant drivers headed to alternative car parks, parked on streets surrounding train stations and some would choose to drive directly to town and city centres.
Transport for West Midlands tried unsuccessfully to find an off-the-shelf solution to solve these problems, so launched a funded competition in conjunction with Innovate UK inviting tech companies to provide an innovative solution. Accelogress with the Save-a-Space solution won that competition and has been working successfully with TfWM ever since, with great results and positive user feedback.
Save-a-Space created a bespoke cloud parking management solution, with a free-to-use end user app, which enables drivers to find and book available parking spaces at park and ride car parks across the Transport for West Midlands region.
Save-a-Space is a software platform based concept and the FIWARE Orion Context Broker is an important component within the Save-a-Space solution architecture. We leveraged Orion to flexibly collect real-time parking occupancy data from different sensor sources in the standardised NGSI format, which helps us to display this information to end-users. With the help of Cygnus we are able to easily store the data for further parking management analysis.
In Phase 1 of the project we created a real-time data pipeline were the Orion Context Broker enabled us to collect number plate information, over a period of more than six months, from entry and exit events at the car parks. We used the data to generate continuous management statistics of car park usage which provides TfWM valuable insight into car park user behaviour which will inform the best end-user solution.
Parking spaces are registered directly on the Save-a-Space platform and drivers can browse live train departures and parking availability information, then select the car park which best suits their journey and train departure time. They can reserve their parking space in advance, entering preferred length of stay, and pay all within the Save-a-Space end user app.
The Save-a-Space app automatically sends notifications reminding drivers of their bookings, together with reminders of start and end times. The app also offers the option to select mobile navigation to the pre-booked parking space. A reminder notification is sent when the reservation is about to expire and when the booking is complete. Users are also able to report any problems via the app and will receive assistance from our customer support advisor.
Car park occupancy information is relayed instantly to parking operators and enforcement via a dashboard allowing improved car parking management and targeted enforcement.
More than 1000 people have signed up wishing to take part in the pilot scheme since its launch on 6 November 2017 and driver behaviour has already changed. Many commuters are choosing to catch later trains, helping to reduce the traffic congestion around peak times commonly experienced by commuters and distributing passengers more evenly across train services. User numbers have increased and Save-a-Space reserved parking spaces are now consistently at full occupancy. For users, stress has been removed from the morning commute and Transport for West Midlands has acquired in-depth occupancy analysis and insight in to customer behaviour.
Following the success of the initial deployment of the Save-a-Space parking management scheme, the solution has been extended with plans to include more spaces and additional car parks.
The Save-a-Space/Midland Combined Authority partnership supported by FIWARE is a live illustration of how innovation combined with existing infrastructure can lead transformative change and improve the Smart City environment.

I'm delighted that Bought By Many was named Fintech Innovation of the Year at the inaugural Fintech Innovation Awards last night. With software pioneers Cashfac and Misys, banking giant Lloyds, and the world's first peer-to-peer lender Zopa nominated in the same category, it was particularly humbling to win.
More importantly, however, are two points which this underlines.
1.Fintech isn't just about helping incumbent financial services companies do what they do better. It's also about disruption of the financial services value chain.
Disruptive Fintech businesses - which Matt Harris has dubbed "finsurgents" - are on a mission to disintermediate incumbents, creating new value for consumers in the process. It was great to see strong showings last night from some of the UK's top finsurgents - Nutmeg in investments, Transferwise in money transfers, RateSetter in lending.
2. The Fintech revolution can and should embrace insurance as well as banking and payments.
Up until this point, the Fintech world has been largely blind to the finsurgency happening in the insurance industry.
With the exception of Insly - a software platform for face to face brokers - not a single insurance startup was named in this year's Fintech 50.
This, despite VCs like Rob Moffat at Balderton and Yann Ranchere at Anthemis talking openly about their appetite for disruption in insurance.
My hope is that this is it the start of the Fintech world opening its eyes - not just to the opportunities inherent in insurance's long & complex value chain, but also to the finsurgent companies who are attacking those opportunities.
Don't know who those insurance finsurgents are? InShared, Friendsurance, Worry+Peace and Bought By Many are all good places to start.
Want to see insurance disrupted for the better? Then join a Bought By Many group.

I actually arrived in Vegas yesterday (Monday). Thankfully most of the post Thanksgiving travelers had passed, but Monday was still a pretty busy day to travel. Naturally the rain throughout the eastern US didn’t help matters. All things considered I presume my 1:30 delay in New York wasn’t all that bad.
I had planned to make an AutoCAD Civil 3D Power User Bootcamp, scheduled for Monday. Unfortunately my flight delays resulted in me missing that session. No less I was able to fill my Monday afternoon meeting numerous individuals, getting checked in, and the like. Monday evening played host to what ended up being a rather informal meet and greet for My Feedback Users. Autodesk’s My Feedback Program serves as the stage for its Beta testing program. Anyone is welcome to submit an application to join the My Feedback Program.
This morning of course marked the official opening to Autodesk University 2007. The opening, or General Session as they call it was a rather impressive display of what the future of Autodesk products look like. Since there are more than 10,000 of us AU’ers here this year, the session was held in the round with everyone looking to the center of the venue. Surrounding the entire room was more than 20 projection screens which served as the medium for one of the most immersive demos I have ever seen. Using some yet-to-be-released technology, a full 3D model of Washington DC was displayed on the screens surrounding the audience. Despite announcing it during the General Session, I am sorry to say Lynn Allen lied to us, www.lynnintroductions.com does not exist. **Update** Lynn didn’t lie to us, the URL is actually www.lynntroductions.com, and simply forwards to her blog. Perhaps Autodesk will launch the Lynn Allen introduction site in the same spirit as www.SaveTheMarkers.com.
With Autodesk University officially open for business, classes begun immediately after the General Session. Apparently the first session I registered for, Demystifying Label Styles Within AutoCAD Civil 3D, was incredibly popular. By the time I got up the escalator, and to the classroom, the session was already at capacity. Disappointed, I went on a quest to find another open session, but was unsuccessful. Thankfully that was the only real glitch to my day. My other sessions went off extremely well. In fact a special thanks to J.C. Davis, Nick Harper, and Craig Parkinson for their presentation, DEA Path to AutoCAD Cvil 3D 2007 Migration. Later in the day Icaught Scott McEachron of D|C|CADD Dallas’ presentation, Essentials of Roadways – Corridor Design. Both presentations were packed with lots of useful information.
Just this evening I received an e-mail from Autodesk letting me know my AU Unplugged session "The Training Trinity: Fundamentals of a Successful Training Program" was accepted. Thank you to everyone who voted for my session. If you’re attending AU, be sure to check out the AU Unplugged Schedule. There you will find the full list of, and information on each of the AU Unplugged sessions. I do look forward to meeting some of you guys!
Throughout the years, I have seen both high and low-tech ways of inserting AutoCAD DWG’s into Microsoft Office documents. I believe the most low tech way I have seen included printing each the MS Word file, and the AutoCAD DWG, then using Scotch Tape to insert the DWG onto the printed document. Run it through a photocopier, and no one will ever know (unless you were a messy Scotch Taper). But what do you say we jump into the 21st century?
Staying in the 21st century, AutoCAD does actually provide us with a fair number of options for inserting AutoCAD DWG’s into MS Office documents. Although a Ctrl + C (Copy) and Ctrl + V (Paste) will work, it will insert your AutoCAD DWG just as it looks in AutoCAD – including the black background. My guess is you would rather have it look similar to the way your DWG plots?

Rivaling the greatest wooden architecture in history, the synagogues of 18th-century Poland inspired artists Rick and Laura Brown of Handshouse Studio to embark on a 10-year pursuit—to reconstruct the elaborate roof and painted ceiling of the Gwozdziec synagogue. Leading over 300 students and professionals from 16 countries, the Browns grapple not just with the echoes of World War II when these buildings were destroyed by the Nazis, but also with warped timbers, tricky paints, and period hand tools. By the end of the project, they have done more than reconstruct a lost synagogue: they have recovered a lost world. In 2014, the Gwozdziec roof was unveiled as the centerpiece of the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw.
It began with a photograph.
More than a decade ago, Rick and Laura Brown, a husband-and-wife team of artist-educators, first learned about the little-known history of Poland’s 17th- and 18th-century wooden synagogues.
The creative and artistic contributions of the Jewish people, their history and cultural traditions are at the heart of the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival, now in its 35th year and opening July 23. Those themes are also at the heart of the SFJFF documentary “Raise the Roof,” which offers a fascinating account of the remarkable recreation of a historic wooden synagogue’s roof and ceiling for a museum exhibit in Poland.
Rick and Laura Brown have led many efforts to recreate historical buildings and artifacts since 2002, when they founded the Handshouse Studio in Norwell, Mass., but nothing compares to the 10 years they spent coordinating hundreds of volunteers in the reconstruction of an 18th-century Polish synagogue.

WALTHAM, Mass. – Three Brandeis Judges have been selected as University Athletic Association Players of the Week for their performances during the week of Sept. 10-16. Senior Emily Bryson of Quincy, Massachusetts, was honored for women's cross country, while senior Jackson Kogan of Los Angeles, California, and rookie Adam Tzeng of Eagle, Idaho, were honored for men's tennis.
Bryson took home UAA weekly honors for the eighth time in her career for cross country. She earned the award for winning the 2018 UMass Dartmouth Invitational. Bryson, who had previously finished fourth, third and second in the race, finally crossed the tape first, covering the five-kilometer race with a time of 17:54.6, easily besting runner-up Sydney Packard of WPI by 20 full seconds. It was Bryson's second-fastest time on the UMass Dartmouth course by four seconds, after her third-place finish in 2016.
The 25th-ranked Judges won the team trophy at the event as well, scoring 56 points to best second-place Trinity (Conn.) by 49. Brandeis is back in action on Sept. 29 at Bowdoin College.
For Kogan and Tzeng, this was the first UAA weekly honor for both. The doubles pairing captured the top flight of the 2018 Middlebury Invitational in Brandeis's first event of the 2018-19 season on Sept. 15-16. They knocked off Schuermann and Hwang from Colby, 8-4, in the opening round. In the quarterfinals, they upset top-seeded and host pairing of Cuba and Eazor in a tiebreaker, 9-8 (7-2). After taking down Sorkin and Grant of Tufts in the semifinals, 8-5, the Judges owned a 4-0 lead on Quijano and Glover of Bates before the Bobcat duo were forced to retire, giving the title to the Judges.
As a team, Brandeis performed well at the Middlebury Invitational, reaching six finals and winning three flights. In addition to Kogan and Tzeng, sophomores Rajan Vohra and Nikhil Das won the B doubles flight, while senior Tyler Ng won the D singles flight. The Judges are back in action on the Sept. 29 weekend at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association regional championships, which will also be held at Middlebury.
Kogan is a 2015 graduate of Windward School.
Tzeng is a 2018 graduate of Eagle High School.

This innovative text for undergraduates provides a thorough and self-contained treatment of all the mathematics commonly taught in honours degree economics courses. It is suitable for use with students with and without A level mathematics.
Mathematics for Economists, a new text for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in economics, is a thoroughly modern treatment of the mathematics that underlies economic theory. An abundance of applications to current economic analysis, illustrative diagrams, thought-provoking exercises, careful proofs, and a flexible organisation-these are the advantages that Mathematics for Economists brings to today's classroom.
As one's understanding of functions, relationships, and variables becomes richer and more detailed, one's ability to provide explanations for economic phenomena becomes stronger and more sophisticated. Here, the author encourages the student's geometric intuition of the mathematical results.
Summary: "This text provides an invaluable introduction to the mathematical tools that undergraduate economists need. The coverage is comprehensive, ranging from elementary algebra to more advanced material, whilst focusing on all the core topics that are usually taught in undergraduate courses on mathematics for economists."--Publisher description.
Economics students will welcome the new edition of this excellent textbook. Mathematics is an integral part of economics and understanding basic concepts is vital. Many students come into economics courses without having studied mathematics for a number of years. This clearly written book will help to develop quantitative skills in even the least numerate student up to the required level for a general Economics or Business Studies course. This second edition features new sections on subjects such as: matrix algebra part year investment financial mathematics Improved pedagogical features, such as learning objectives and end of chapter questions, along with the use of Microsoft Excel and the overall example-led style of the book means that it will be a sure fire hit with both students and their lecturers.
This book is a companion volume to Essential Mathematics for Economic Analysis by Knut Sydsaeter and Peter Hammond. The new book is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of economics whose requirements go beyond the material usually taught in undergraduate mathematics courses for economists. It presents most of the mathematical tools that are required for advanced courses in economic theory - both micro and macro.
In highly mathematical courses, it is a truism that students learn by doing, not by reading. Tamara Todorova's Problems Book to Accompany Mathematics for Economists provides a life-line for students seeking an extra leg up in challenging courses. Beginning with college-level mathematics, this comprehensive workbook presents an extensive number of economics–focused problem sets, with clear and detailed solutions for each one. By keeping the focus on economic applications, Todorova provides economics students with the mathematical tools they need for academic success.
Mathematics for Economists with Applications provides detailed coverage of the mathematical techniques essential for undergraduate and introductory graduate work in economics, business and finance. Beginning with linear algebra and matrix theory, the book develops the techniques of univariate and multivariate calculus used in economics, proceeding to discuss the theory of optimization in detail. Integration, differential and difference equations are considered in subsequent chapters. Uniquely, the book also features a discussion of statistics and probability, including a study of the key distributions and their role in hypothesis testing. Throughout the text, large numbers of new and insightful examples and an extensive use of graphs explain and motivate the material. Each chapter develops from an elementary level and builds to more advanced topics, providing logical progression for the student, and enabling instructors to prescribe material to the required level of the course. With coverage substantial in depth as well as breadth, and including a companion website at www.routledge.com/cw/bergin, containing exercises related to the worked examples from each chapter of the book, Mathematics for Economists with Applications contains everything needed to understand and apply the mathematical methods and practices fundamental to the study of economics.
This text offers a comprehensive presentation of the mathematics required to tackle problems in economic analyses. To give a better understanding of the mathematical concepts, the text follows the logic of the development of mathematics rather than that of an economics course. The only prerequisite is high school algebra, but the book goes on to cover all the mathematics needed for undergraduate economics. It is also a useful reference for graduate students. After a review of the fundamentals of sets, numbers, and functions, the book covers limits and continuity, the calculus of functions of one variable, linear algebra, multivariate calculus, and dynamics. To develop the student's problem-solving skills, the book works through a large number of examples and economic applications. This streamlined third edition offers an array of new and updated examples. Additionally, lengthier proofs and examples are provided on the book's website. The book and the web material are cross-referenced in the text. A student solutions manual is available, and instructors can access online instructor's material that includes solutions and PowerPoint slides. Visit http://mitpress.mit.edu/math_econ3 for complete details.
For all students who wish to understand current economic and business literature, knowledge of mathematical methods has become a prerequisite. Clear and concise, with precise definitions and theorems, Werner and Sotskov cover all the major topics required to gain a firm grounding in this subject including sequences, series, applications in finance, functions, differentiations, differentials and difference equations, optimizations with and without constraints, integrations and much more. Containing exercises and worked examples, precise definitions and theorems as well as economic applications, this book provides the reader with a comprehensive understanding of the mathematical models and tools used in both economics and business.
This books contains a set of 15 lessons showing how mathematical processes and concepts may be applied in the study of economics and personal finance. Mathematics educators will find lessons connecting mathematics instruction to practical problems and issues that students will encounter through their lifetimes.--P. vii.
The aim of this book is to bring students of economics and finance who have only an introductory background in mathematics up to a quite advanced level in the subject, thus preparing them for the core mathematical demands of econometrics, economic theory, quantitative finance and mathematical economics, which they are likely to encounter in their final-year courses and beyond. The level of the book will also be useful for those embarking on the first year of their graduate studies in Business, Economics or Finance.
Shows instructors what mathematics is used at the undergraduate level in various parts of economics. Separate sections provide students with opportunities to apply their mathematics in relevant economics contexts. Brings together many different mathematics applications to such varied economics topics.
This book is designed to meet the requirements of a wide range of students, keeping in view the varied applications of mathematical techniques in different areas of Economics, Commerce, Finance and Management, at the Undergraduate and Post Graduate levels. The subject matter has been presented in a very simple and lucid manner. A large number of questions from various University examination papers have been included to provide a range of questions on different topics of the subjects. Exercises given at the end of each topic will provide a source of practice to the students and make them more confident, assuring better performance in the Examination. Teachers in the subject may also find it absorbing and different from other books, in respect of approach, style and lucidity in explanation supported by appropriate diagrams.
This text contains the mathematical material necessary as background for the topics covered in advanced microeconomics courses. It focuses on two key components of microeconomics - optimization subject to constraints and the development of comparative statistics. Assuming familiarity with calculus of one variable and basic linear algebra, the text allows more extensive coverage of additional topics like constrained optimization, the chain rule, Taylor's theorem, line integrals and dynamic programming. It contains numerous examples that illustrate economics and mathematical situations, many with complex solutions.
This book equips undergraduates with the mathematical skills required for degree courses in economics, finance, management, and business studies. The fundamental ideas are described in the simplest mathematical terms, highlighting threads of common mathematical theory in the various topics. Coverage helps readers become confident and competent in the use of mathematical tools and techniques that can be applied to a range of problems.
This book can help overcome the widely observed math-phobia and math-aversion among undergraduate students in these subjects. The book can also help them understand why they have to learn different mathematical techniques, how they can be applied, and how they will equip the students in their further studies. The book provides a thorough but lucid exposition of most of the mathematical techniques applied in the fields of economics, business and finance. The book deals with topics right from high school mathematics to relatively advanced areas of integral calculus covering in the middle the topics of linear algebra; differential calculus; classical optimization; linear and nonlinear programming; and game theory. Though the book directly caters to the needs of undergraduate students in economics, business and finance, graduate students in these subjects will also definitely find the book an invaluable tool as a supplementary reading. The website of the book – ww.emeacollege.ac.in/bmebf – provides supplementary materials and further readings on chapters on difference equation, differential equations, elements of Mathematica®, and graphics in Mathematica®, . It also provides materials on the applications of Mathematica®, as well as teacher and student manuals.
Covering the subject in an informal way, this book aims to demonstrate the relevance of mathematics as quickly and as painlessly as possible.

Maharaj got 4/58 in the second innings of the Galle Test.
Left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj is confident of the Proteas turning a corner in the second Test of the ongoing Test series in Sri Lanka but has expressed that arriving on the beautiful shores of the island nation, the visitors were always the underdogs.
Maharaj got the first taste of how spin bowling is like in the subcontinent when on a raging turner at Galle he kept bowling the lengths he does back home and despite bowling well went wicketless and by the time he recovered in the second innings with 4/58, the game was away from South Africa's grasp.
Talking about the game, Maharaj was quoted saying, "Everywhere you go in the world you want to be consistent in your lengths to cause the batter to be uncomfortable when you are bowling, That is something I had to pick up quickly after the first innings where I didn't have a lot of rhythm. I found that in the second innings I put the ball in better areas than I did in the first innings."
"(Tabraiz) Shamsi and I played a bit of domestic cricket together, We've always known each other and what we are about, we enjoy bowling together. It is something new for me because I have never bowled with another spinner at international level, but it is a lot of fun."
One of the great things about this tour for Maharaj is that gets to spend some precious time talking to Rangana Herath and learn the trade better. Maharaj is not gonna let this opportunity go, as he said, "His consistency is phenomenal, Left-arm spinners are known to control the game but he does something special. He turns the ball at will, he slides the ball on at will, it is something that I would love to learn in my trade and I will try to get some knowledge from him going forward."
"I spoke to him when Sri Lanka toured South Africa last year and he gave me some insight, I would like to pick his brain more about playing in sub-continent conditions. He is the best in the world at what he does."
Maharaj also reiterated that South Africa aren't ready to throw in the towel just yet and is motivated to level the series in the second Test.
"Sri Lanka are really good in their conditions, they showed that when they beat Australia here as well. There is everything to play for, South Africans are known to bounce back when we do lose our first match. The boys have worked hard, we are ready to give Sri Lanka a go in their conditions. We have come here as underdogs."
Sri Lanka currently leads the 2-match Test series 1-0, with the second game starting Friday, July 20.
