As the University recovers from winter’s ravages, the administration continues work on its snow policy with the help of a new committee.
After the now-infamous polar vortex disrupted many students’ return travels to school in early January, some hoped classes would be delayed, but the semester began as scheduled.
During a subsequent Senate Advisory Committee for University Affairs meeting in which faculty expressed discontent over school remaining open, University Provost Martha Pollack said the administration lacked appropriate mechanisms to close the University even if they wanted to.
“That said, after this was all over, I and some of the other executive officers really strongly believe that we … need to revisit this policy,” Pollack said.
In response, the University’s Committee on Emergency Closure Procedures Specific to Severe Weather was formed.
To gather opinion from the various University units, the 24 members are from a variety of departments and include Chief Health Officer Robert Winfield; Laurita Thomas, associate vice president of human resources; Andy Burchfield, director of emergency management; Dean of Students Laura Blake Jones and Dentistry Prof. Rex Holland, a member of SACUA.
One such concern was in regard to staff, and was epitomized after hazardous temperatures forced the University to cancel class just two weeks later.
While classes were canceled Jan. 28, dining halls, libraries, buses and health services remained open. All 28,500 staff members were instructed to report to work. A memo sent out to faculty and staff did request supervisors be flexible due to the conditions, but staff members unable or unwilling to brave the cold had to use a vacation day or unpaid time off.
One University staff member, who wished to remain anonymous, said they disapproved of the University’s decision to require faculty and staff to report to work.
However, another staff member, who works in a dining hall, said it was necessary that dining hall staff show up for work regardless of the conditions, since a large number of students, especially freshmen in the dorms, rely on their meal plans.
Under the current emergency closure policy, no distinction is drawn between critical and non-critical staff. A “Critical Services” subcommittee of the larger severe weather committee is addressing the question in bi-monthly meetings.
Donohue said critical staff would be those working in facilities and services that must be maintained around the clock, such as the hospital, dining halls, dorms and snow removal.
University spokesman Rick Fitzgerald said some staff members are not bound to the office for their work, and an updated policy may qualify that distinction.
“Some employees have the ability to do their jobs from home so there’s flexibility that exists now,” Fitzgerald said.
The committee’s second monthly meeting is approaching, but no changes will be made until the policy review is finished in April, and members submit a list of recommendations to the committee’s sponsors: Pollack, Ora H. Pescovitz, executive vice president for medical affairs and Timothy P. Slottow, executive vice president and chief financial officer.

username_0: This PR refactors the core module into an assembly, visualization, export, core, and api module. 

The api module is a significant addition - we expect to keep this API as stable and well-documented as possible.

Also, some tools are added to explore CAGs using Jupyter notebooks.

Wut? United created their own brand themselves, which is also due to the success marketing of the PL (and nothing to do with the Glazers). The Glazers latched on to the club and used it to earn money. I have a feeling you are merely looking at those commercial deals the Glazers did over the past 2 years and concluding they contributed to our brand, which is frankly speaking bullshit. In fact they're doing the opposite - selling and diluting our brand away for cash, something they did after they realised they needed more money to service the debt (which is also likely why the IPO happened, they needed money).This family home is a must see!

China’s central bank reiterated its stance on cryptocurrencies on Friday and released a memorandum banning cryptocurrency transactions and banning foreign exchanges from providing services to people in China.
She accused the cryptocurrency of “disrupting the economic and financial order” and facilitating “illegal and criminal activities” such as gambling, fraud, pyramid schemes, money laundering and theft.
Bitcoin, Ether and TEDA are explicitly mentioned in the communication and it is pointed out that they “do not have the same legal status as legal currencies”.
“They are not legal and should not and cannot be used as currency in the market,” said the notice, before listing all activities related to cryptocurrencies that are now banned.
These include operating virtual currency exchanges, buying and selling virtual currencies as a central counterparty, providing information brokerage and pricing services for virtual currency transactions, financing token issues, virtual currency derivative transactions, and more.
Chinese government agencies have long had a problem with cryptocurrencies, and in May, three state-backed financial groups issued a joint statement warning against the use of cryptocurrencies as a means of payment, citing their volatility as high risk.
The National Internet Finance Association of China, the China Banking Association, and the Payment and Clearing Association of China urged their members not to engage in cryptocurrency transactions.
Cryptocurrencies have been banned in China for many years, but citizens have the option of accessing coins in other ways. China has also been working on its own digital currency for years.
Chinese Deputy Prime Minister Liu He said in May that the country must also take a tougher course against crypto mining. This statement by Liu He caused several operators of cryptocurrency mines to cease their activities.
Researchers recently estimated that China accounts for more than 75% of bitcoin hashing power or computations, benefiting from
