Permanent Marker Pen or indelible marker
A permanent marker or indelible marker is a type of marker pen that is used to create permanent writing on an object. In general, the ink comprises a main carrier solvent, a glyceride, a pyrrolidone, a resin and a colorant, making it waterproof. It is capable of writing on a variety of surfaces from paper to metal to stone. They come in a variety of tip sizes (ultra fine to wide), shapes (chisel point, bullet tip, and wide bristle), and colors (metallic, or ultraviolet reactive). Like spray paint, these markers contain volatile organic compounds which evaporate to dry the ink. Permanent marker is another name for "waterproof" marker. They have a potential for abuse as a recreational drug.
Permanent Marker Pen
These markers are generally used on hard, non-porous surfaces because instead of staining they form a surface layer that can be removed by high-pressure cleaning or paint thinners and organic solvents such as acetone, xylene, or toluene. Isopropyl alcohol, ethanol, and ethyl acetate are preferred cleaners when used indoors, as their fumes are much less hazardous than toluene and xylene, the main components of paint thinner, or longer-chain hydrocarbons found in mineral spirits. Other common non-polar solvents include benzene, turpentine and other terpenes (which constitute essential oils of many plants with strong scents), most others, chloroform and dichloromethane, hydrocarbon fuels, and diacetone alcohol, among many others. Note that most of these solvents are very flammable, and/or their concentrated vapors are harmful to health.
Some markers are designed to be long-lasting, for instance by having two inks, one specialized to resist solvents, and one specialized not to fade.These can be available in refillable form.
A permanent marker can also be removed by drawing over it with a dry erase marker on non-porous surfaces such as a whiteboard as dry erase markers also contain a non-polar solvent. Most dry-erase board cleaner solutions also contain effective organic solvents like 2-butoxyethanol to erase the pigment.

Hourglass funnel diagram PowerPoint and keynote template is a professional design that can be used to show multi-topic presentations. Normally hourglass and funnel represent the different spheres of organized knowledge. Hourglass indicating time management and the funnel symbolizes the filtering process; both have certain values in management and marketing areas. Historically hourglasses have been used to measure time years back. One can calculate the time by the amount of sand that has been distributed from the top part of the hourglass to the bottom. When all the sand is found at the bottom, it means that time has run out. Users can apply the hourglass theory to project reports and studies. This template can use to display the importance of time scheduling in project management and personal development.
Funnel diagram PowerPoint is used to show the conversion rate of a specific product. It is for sales presentations. To achieve preferred goals and milestones this diagram process flow chart surely helps you. The process behind marketing and sales and the strategies and plans and project and business development can be illustrated with this simple hourglass funnel diagram PowerPoint. The layout has seven segments including the heading section. Users can depict six-element or concepts related to the theme. Each segment is colored differently and having individual text areas. Any topic like; time cost, quality, HR management, risk evaluation, procurement can display on this structure. It is for the presentation of organized knowledge than random perception. The presenter should try to filter out the concepts through using the method of science and make an exact presentation before the executive audience. The presenter can resize the design and its objects, also customize the color including background. Users can search funnel diagram to showcase business and marketing plans.

Pens (game)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Pens is a card game for two or more players. It is similar to the card game Spoons.
The players sit around a table, and a number of pens (one less than the number of players) are laid with equal spacing in the center of the table, at an equal distance from each of the players. Cards are then removed from the pack such that only one group of four of a kind per player remains. For example, if there were four players, one possible pack would be all the threes (diamonds, clubs, spades, hearts), all the kings, all the jacks and all the eights.
The pack is shuffled, and four cards are dealt to each player. No player may look at another player's cards. The game starts when one player says "1, 2, 3, pass." On 'pass,' each player passes any one of their cards, face down, to the player to their left. This process repeats until somebody has a hand of four cards of the same value, at which point they grab one of the pens in the middle of the table. The other players then do the same. The person left without a pen drops out, and the whole game repeats without that player. This continues until there is only one player remaining. That player wins the game.
If a player grabs a pen despite not having four of a kind, they lose the round. However, feinting is allowed, and if by motioning as if to grab a pen (without actually touching one) a player causes others to grab for the pens, the first to touch one loses the round.

The seemingly simple task of deleting an Exchange Server database can sometimes be less than simple. I've seen...
By submitting your personal information, you agree that TechTarget and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers.
a number of situations in which Exchange Server appears to have trouble letting go of unwanted databases. So what do you do when you can't delete a database?
The most common cause for this problem is that Exchange Server won't allow you to delete a mailbox database if that database contains an existing user mailbox. Determine which mailboxes exist within the database and then move those mailboxes to a different database.
To get a list of the user mailboxes that exist within a database, enter the following command into the Exchange Management Shell, but replace with the actual mailbox database name:
Get-Mailbox –Database ""
If you determine that the database contains user mailboxes, you can issue a move request for those mailboxes by using this command:
Get-Mailbox –Database "" | New-MoveRequest –TargetDatabase ""
Exchange Server 2013 also makes use of public folder mailboxes. To remove a public folder mailbox, you'll use the same method as you do to remove user mailboxes, but you'll need to use the PublicFolder switch. For example, if you wanted to see a list of public folder mailboxes, you would use the following command:
Get-Mailbox – Database "" –PublicFolder
Similarly, use this command to move a public folder mailbox:
Get-Mailbox –Database "" –PublicFolder | New-MoveRequest –TargetDatabase ""
Notice that I didn't have to use the PublicFolder switch in the New-MoveRequest cmdlet.
It's not just user mailboxes and public folder mailboxes that can be problematic. Archive mailboxes can also cause problems. Exchange Server tries to help you by showing an error message that actually lists the command used to view a list of archive databases. The command Microsoft provides is:
Get-Mailbox –Database DatabaseID –Archive
However, this command doesn't always work as it should. A workaround is to run the Get-Mailbox cmdlet and filter the output based on the ArchiveDatabase attribute. This means compiling a list of mailboxes where the archive database attribute matches the name of the database you're trying to delete.
As an example, imagine you need to delete a database called "DB1." If you wanted to see a list of all the archive mailboxes within the database, you could use a command like this:
Get-Mailbox | Where-ArchiveDatabase –eq "DB1"
Moving mailboxes after they've been identified
Identifying the archive mailboxes is only the first step in deleting an Exchange Server database. Once those mailboxes have been identified, they need to be moved.
Once again, this can be accomplished using a move request. The New-MoveRequest command can be appended to the command that was used to identify the archive mailboxes. The full command might look like this:
Get-Mailbox | Where-ArchiveDatabase –eq "" | New-MoveRequest –ArchiveOnly –ArchiveTargetDatabase ""
Notice that this time the move request used the ArchiveTargetDatabase switch instead of the TargetDatabase switch. We also used the ArchiveOnly switch.
Once you remove the mailboxes from a database, you should be able to delete the database from the Exchange Administrative Center. However, because you are already in the Exchange Management Shell, it might be easier to remove the database using the command line:
Remove-MailboxDatabase –Identity ""
The key to being able to remove a mailbox database is to make sure there are no mailboxes in the database. Although this tip focuses on moving mailboxes to another server, you can delete the mailboxes using the Remove-Mailbox command.

Methodologies for Integration of Prognostic Health Management Systems with Maintenance Data
Agency / Branch:
DOD / USAF
Impact Technologies propose to further develop and demonstrate an innovative software product that integrates maintenance and PHM system data to provide improved fault diagnostics and prediction of the remaining useful life of critical components. The proposed methodologies will enable the maintenance and logistics infrastructure to fully benefit from newly developed PHM systems and conversely for the PHM system to update itself based on feedback obtained from the maintenance systems. The integration process includes two modes of interaction: 1.) Health information driving the maintenance actions with available resource information, and 2.) Feedback from the maintenance systems providing valuable verification information implemented through a learning mechanism to the PHM system. This integration will utilize multi-agent software technology that is appropriate for open, highly dynamic, uncertain and complex systems including distributed databases such as the Engine Health Management Data Repository Center (EHM+DRC) or Reliability and Maintainability Information System (REMIS). Additionally, Impact Technologies and General Dynamics Information Technology will coordinate efforts to pull resident data in the GCSS-AF for integration with in the software application. The Phase I program successfully demonstrated the feasibility of the developed algorithms using simulation data. Phase II will focus on further development and harnessing of the Phase I technologies for use in specific Air Force applications.

Question: Does White Matter Lesions Mean MS?
How long can you live with white matter disease?
It is not possible to stop disease progression, and it is typically fatal within 6 months to 4 years of symptom onset.
People with the juvenile form of metachromatic leukodystrophy, which develops between the age of 4 and adolescence, may live for many years after diagnosis..
How serious is white matter disease?
Summary: More evidence has been accumulated that damage to cognitive areas is widespread from white matter disease. White matter disease is responsible for about a fifth of all strokes worldwide, more than doubles the future risk of stroke, and is a contributing factor in up to 45% of dementias.
Can white matter lesions in the brain be nothing?
What symptoms do MS brain lesions cause?
How do you get rid of white matter disease?
Keep your blood pressure and blood sugar in check. That can lead to white matter changes. To keep your heart healthy, follow a low-fat, low-salt diet, and get about 2 and a half hours of moderate-intensity exercise each week. Manage diabetes if you have it and keep your cholesterol in check.
Does everyone have white matter in the brain?
R. Douglas Fields. "Gray matter" is only one of two types of brain tissue; the other "white matter" is rarely mentioned. Yet white matter makes up half the human brain and has not been thought to be important in cognition or learning outside the context of pathology.
Is white matter disease the same as MS?
"In general, white matter disease causes acute MS symptoms, like numbness and weakness," Stone says. "Gray matter disease causes progressive symptoms, like fatigue and memory loss. These higher brain functions are called cognitive functions. Most MS disability actually comes from cognitive dysfunction."
Do brain lesions always mean MS?
What causes white matter lesions?
Causes of periventricular white matter lesions: Major causes of periventricular white matter (PWM) lesions include normal changes from aging (then they are called UBO's, for "unidentified bright objects), small strokes, and disorders related to multiple sclerosis (MS).
Are white matter lesions common?
Do white matter lesions go away?
The spots may shrink in size months after a small stroke. Or, they may worsen if risk factors for strokes are not treated, leading to further lesions.
Can anxiety cause white matter lesions?
Conclusions: Non-clinical individuals with high anxiety already have white matter alterations in the thalamus-cortical circuit and some emotion-related areas that were widely reported in anxiety-related disorders. The altered white matter may be a vulnerability marker in individuals at high risk of clinical anxiety.
What are the 3 types of lesions?
What does it mean to have white matter lesions on the brain?
White matter lesions (WMLs) or leukoaraiosis indicate small vessel vascular brain disease as well as degenerative or inflammatory processes. WMLs appear as hyperintense periventricular or subcortical patchy or confluent areas on T2 or fluid-attenuated inversion recovery MRI sequence.
Can stress cause white matter lesions?


text: In urbanised areas around the world, road pricing policies are considered more and more frequently, the aim often being to alleviate (some of the) external traffic-related costs. To assess the effects of a proposed road pricing measure, several evaluation measures can be used, coming from different disciplines, including economics, transportation science and transport geography. In this paper, we compare two types of evaluation measure that can be used to assess the effectiveness of road pricing measures: geographical accessibility measures and economic social surplus measures. We explore the possibilities of both types of measure in terms of evaluating road pricing effects from a theoretical perspective, as well as comparing their outcome measures for a research area in the Netherlands. By means of correlation analysis and spatial comparison of outcomes, we find that geographical accessibility measures, being simpler and easier to interpret than economic measures, offer a poor proxy of the outcomes of the economic evaluation measures and vice versa. Therefore, the decision whether to use economic surplus measures or geographical accessibility indicators to a large extent depends on the research goal. If the goal is to gain a thorough insight into the monetary gains/losses resulting from a policy measure, economic measures, such as the rule-of-half or the logsum measure, are preferable. However, if there are concrete questions about the changes in accessibility of certain types of activity locations, geographical indicators, such as the contour and potential measures, are more appropriate. The outcomes of such geographical measures, and especially those of the contour measures, are, however, sensitive to the spatial distribution of activity locations in the area under study and to the selection of the impedance parameter that has to be selected in advance to compute the effects. Therefore, if geographical indicators are to be used, it would be wise to use different sensitivity parameters. It is only then that a thorough insight can be gained into the (sensitivity of) geographical accessibility effects. © 2011 Taylor & Francis.


text: Over the past forty years intensive investigations into the use of compliant surfaces have been undertaken, both theoretically and experimentally, in order to obtain turbulent drag reduction in boundary–layer flows. Although positive results were found in some of the studies, none of these had been successfully validated by independent researchers. In this paper the results are reported of a recent investigation carried out by the authors to verify the experimental results of Semenov in 1991 and Kulik and co–workers in 1991, who successfully demonstrated the ability of compliant surfaces to reduce the skin–friction drag and surface–flow noise in a turbulent boundary layer. A strain–gauge force balance was used in the present study to directly measure the turbulent skin–friction drag of a slender body of revolution in a water tunnel. Changes in the structure of turbulent boundary layer over a compliant surface in comparison with that over a rigid surface were also examined. The results clearly demonstrate that the turbulent skin friction is reduced for one of the two compliant coatings tested, indicating a drag reduction of up to 7 per cent within the entire speed range of the tests. The intensities of skin–friction and wall–pressure fluctuations measured immediately downstream from the compliant coating show reductions in the intensities of up to 7 and 19 per cent, respectively. The results also indicate reductions in turbulence intensity by up to 5 per cent across almost the entire boundary layer. Furthermore, an upwards shift of the logarithmic velocity profile is also evident indicating that the thickness of the viscous sublayer is increased as a result of turbulent drag reduction due to the compliant coating. It is considered that the results of the present experimental investigation convincingly demonstrate for the first time since the earlier work in Russia (by Semenov and Kulik) that a compliant surface can indeed produce turbulent drag reduction in boundary–layer flows.

fresh from origin
Yunnan is the name of the Southern Chinese province bordering Vietnam. It's believed to be the birthplace of tea, and the oldest wild growing tea tree (never pruned to be bush height) is about 1,700 years old. Yunnan's most senior cultivated tree is a relative youngster - a mere 800 years old. These are the large leafed tea varieties - Camellia sinensis assamica - which is also found in India. Yunnan also has the distinction of producing more black tea than any other part of China, although it's a relative newcomer to this variety. Black tea was first produced here in 1939, and is distinguished by its unique peppery, earthy and sometimes cocoay flavor.

Virtual Fossils: a New Resource for Science Communication in Paleontology
Computer-aided 3-D reconstruction of fossils, or virtual paleontology, is an increasingly common and powerful technique. It is now regularly used for research in paleontology, yet to date has impacted little on public outreach and science communication; however, it is ideally suited for these purposes, being increasingly cheap and available, dynamic and exciting, and applicable to a range of topics. Here, we provide an introduction to the field, and a case study of its use for a public engagement event. The steps involved in creating such an educational resource are outlined, and include computed tomography scanning, digital visualization, and 3-D printing of fossils. We emphasize the value of virtual fossils for science communication; they allow for diverse learning styles in a variety of topics. In the future, we hope that virtual paleontology will become a mainstay of communicating the history of life, thereby promoting accurate understanding of evolution.

Stripping the Membranes
by Cynthia Flynn, CNM, Ph.D.
Q. What does "stripping of the membranes" mean? How is it done and how is it different than breaking my water?
A. As you probably know, the bag of waters is inside the uterus, and the bag is composed of membranes. The membranes tend to cling to the wall of the uterus until after the baby is born and the placenta is expelled. As the cervix begins to soften and open (dilate) at the end of pregnancy, the part of the membranes that was over the cervical opening can be felt through the opening when a vaginal exam is done.
"Stripping the membranes" is done by inserting a finger between the membranes and the wall of the uterus to loosen the membranes from the wall. Sometimes, this stimulation of the uterine wall can help to start labor. Sometimes, the loosening of the membranes allows more water to collect in front of the baby which puts more pressure on the cervix and perhaps labor is stimulated that way. The procedure can be a little uncomfortable for some women. If the woman is truly near delivery, she often gets a contraction as a result of the procedure.
Usually the practitioner tries not to break the bag of waters when the membranes are loosened. Breaking the bag of waters commits the woman to delivery, perhaps before the baby is ready to come. Although stripping membranes is not considered a form of induction, the hope is that it is a form of stimulation of labor. Done too early, it has no effect, but if the body is nearly ready anyway, it can give a little jump-start to the labor process.

Y1 - 1985/03/01 UR - _URL_ N2 - Rates of force development, contraction and relaxation of vertebrate skeletal muscle are temperature dependent with Q10 values of approximately 2. Maximal forces developed have a low or negative thermal dependence. The functional basis of these patterns is poorly understood. Muscle performance generally does not acclimate. There appears to have been some evolutionary adaptation among species and classes to different thermal regimes, such that muscles from cold-adapted species maintain better mechanical performance at low temperatures than do those from warm-adapted animals. However, rate processes remain strongly thermally dependent even in animals with low or variable body temperatures. This thermal dependence of muscle in vitro is reflected in behavioural performance: maximal force generation in vivo is temperature independent and time-dependent activities are more rapid at higher muscle temperatures.

Thumba Village
Thumba Village, T/A Ngokwe, Machinga
Thumba itself has 32 families and immediately surrounded by 7 villages with 54 families.
We hope to be able to install a borehole. It would be expected to provide clean, safe and sustainable water to a total of 86 families of around 400 people. The nearest borehole is 3 km or 1.9 miles away.
We learned the following by interviewing Thumba residents:
 - They have a shallow pit as their current source of water. Of the 6 people we interviewed, 4 of them had diarrhea at that time.
 - So far, 15 people have suffered from diarrhea this year.
 - They share the water source with livestock and wild animals.
 - Students sometimes don't go to school due to lack of water or long wait at the water source.
 - Sometimes families miss meals due to lack of water which can expose the children to malnutrition.
 - Farming is also disturbed due to the same reasons above.
 - During the dry season, they wait at the water source for approximately 5 hours.
A new water well will bring clean water closer to the village and will be immediately accessible all day long.

This small exhibition highlighted some of the finds made by Museum of Liverpool's archaeologists at Lunt Meadows, Sefton. This nationally-important site has revealed evidence for 8,000 year old Mesolithic houses, a very unusual discovery.
In the Mesolithic period (10,000-4,000 BC) people lived hunter-gatherer lifestyles, and finding settled 'homes' usually evades archaeologists who often find stone tools, and locate places where they made chert or flint tools by finding a mixture of tools and waste stone.
The houses discovered at Lunt remain as post-holes – darker areas of soil where wooden structures once stood. Archaeologists record these details to enable them to reconstruct what a site might have been like in the past


What you need to know about Non-Morning People
I am not a morning person. I continually fail to understand why people who have known me for many years appear to forget this. Ultimately, I have decided that they are suicidal and they have chosen me as the means to that end. If you are not suicidal, here are some tips to survive the early hours with a non-morning person.
1. Do not speak. In fact, try not to make any noise at all. Whatever you do, never speak directly to the non-morning person.
2. Do not make eye contact. This is considered a precursor to speech. Don't do it.
3. Do not block the sink, the doorway, the hallway, and most especially the coffee pot.
4. If at all possible, leave random steaming cups of caffeinated beverages around the house to distract the non-morning person from yourself.
5. Do not be cheerful (i.e. loud) within sight or hearing of the non-morning person. Witnessing early morning cheerfulness is known to significantly delay the caffeine response in the afflicted. You do not want this.
6. Do not take it personally when a non-morning person does not return a chipper morning greeting. You have violated rule 5 and she is simply busy trying not to kill you.
7 – 9 DO NOT SPEAK to the non-morning person. This is repeated for your own benefit. Learn it. Live it. Tattoo it on your arm if necessary.
10. If you must speak to the non-morning person, first check to see if she has coffee in her hands. This will help distract her from the urge to cause you bodily harm. If you're lucky, she may answer in something approximating English. It may or may not contain expletives though. Sorry.
The above rules will generally be in effect until no less than 3 large cups of decent grade coffee are consumed. Violate them at you own risk.


text: The Seafarer is an elegy, a poem of mourning based around both maritime traditions and Christian theology. The poem recounts a loss at sea, the death of the title character. The poem's last lines are heavily preoccupied with a relinquishment of earthly concerns and a bestowal of faith in God and His eternal kingdom. The poem further recommends the virtues of bravery, intelligence, and commitment to faith. Nautical traditions are also important in its symbolic systems.

Purpose: Our goal was to use functional MRI (fMRI) to measure brain activation in response to imagination of odors in humans.
Method: fMR brain scans were obtained in 21 normal subjects (9 men, 12 women) using multislice FLASH MRI in response to imagination of odors of banana and peppermint and to the actual smells of the corresponding odors of amyl acetate and menthone, respectively, in three coronal sections selected from anterior to posterior temporal brain regions. Similar studies were obtained in two patients with hyposmia using FLASH MRI and in one patient with hyposmia using echo planar imaging, both before and after theophylline treatment, which returned smell function to or toward normal in each patient. Activation images were derived using correlation analysis, and ratios of areas of brain activated to total brain areas were calculated.
Results: Activation was present in each section in all normal subjects and in each patient after imagination of each vapor. In normal subjects, brain activation in response to imagination of odors was significantly less than that in response to the actual smell of these odors, and activation following imagination of banana odor was significantly greater in men than in women, as was previously reported for the actual smell of the odor of amyl acetate. However, in relative terms, albeit at an absolute lower brain activation level, the ratio of brain activation by imagination of banana to activation by actual amyl acetate odor was about twice as high in women as in men. Before treatment, in patients with hyposmia, brain activation in response to odor imagination was greater than after presentation of the actual odor itself. After treatment, in patients with hyposmia in whom smell acuity returned to or toward normal, brain activation in response to odor imagination was not significantly different quantitatively from that before treatment; however, brain activation in response to the actual odor was significantly greater than that in response to imagination of the corresponding odor. Brain regions activated by both odor imagination and actual corresponding odor were similar and consistent with regions previously described as responding to odors.
Conclusion: These studies indicate that (a) odors can be imagined and similar brain regions are activated by both imagined and corresponding actual odors; (b) imagination of odors elicits quantitatively less brain activation than do actual smells of corresponding odors in normal subjects; (c) absolute brain activation in men by odor imagination is greater than in women for some odors, but on a relative basis, the ratio for odor imagination to actual smell in women is twice that in men; (d) odor imagination, once the odor has been experienced, is present, recallable, and capable of inducing a relatively constant degree of brain activation even in the absence of the ability to recognize an actual corresponding odor.

Gargantua the Great, probably the most famous circus animal of the 20th
century, was orphaned when he was only a month old and lived with
missionaries in Africa until a sea captain purchased him and brought
him to Boston in 1931. There, after being disfigured with nitric acid
by a sailor with a grudge against the captain, he was bought by
Gertrude Davies Lintz, who was determined to save the severely burned
gorilla. Mrs. Lintz named him Buddha, "Buddy" for short, and tenderly
nursed him back to health. However, his face was permanently disfigured
and his mouth twisted into a fierce snarl.
In 1937 Lintz offered Buddy, who then weighed an estimated 460 pounds, to the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. A delighted Henry Ringling North (Yale '33) renamed him "Gargantua the Great" after one of the giants in Rabelais' Gargantua and Pantagruel. As Gargantua, Buddy was transformed into the greatest of circus attractions by a flamboyant advertising campaign that saved the circus from imminent bankruptcy. For 12 years the circus toured the country and millions stood in line to see the lowland gorilla.
Buddy died of double pneumonia in November 1949 at the age of 20. North donated Gargantua's skeleton to the Yale Peabody Museum in 1950.

[C]an a crocodile really weep? The experts say yes: they have tear glands just like most other animals. And zoologists have recorded alligators, close relatives of crocodiles, shedding tears while they're eating. This parallel may be significant—rather than being an emotional response, the shedding of tears probably happens because of the way crocodiles and alligators eat: when eating their prey they will often huff and hiss as they blow out air, and their tear glands may empty at the same time. The idea of crocodile tears being false was used both in Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene and in Shakespeare's Othello. They provide just two of the many allusions in literature that have cemented the idiom in the language.
Incidentally, the word 'crocodile' means, literally, 'worm of the stones'. It is from Greek, and is a reference to the croc's habit of basking in the sun on the shingly banks of a river.— An extract from What Made the Crocodile Cry? by Susie Dent (via OxfordWords blog)
Attack of the bees
I found out that I am not allergic to bees. I discovered this when I was pegging wet sheets to the clothesline and was stung on my temple by a rogue bee tangled in the pillowcases and I suffered no grave consequences.
This happened during the few weeks that our back courtyard was plagued by bees. A low hum reverberated around the walls, and every surface – the gravel, the bench, the ivy – seemed to shimmer until you looked a little closer and realised that it was just a dozen or so wriggling bees, animating the ground beneath them.
The source was a hive lodged like a football in our next-door neighbour's tree. By the time we politely enquired next door as to whether they had noticed the swarming honey-pot in their garden, our sweet young neighbour's nerves, as she put it, were shot. She could no longer go outside. Her landlord wasn't returning her calls. And if, as I had suspected, our yard was where the bees went to die, theirs was the colony spawning ground. "When I switch on the bathroom light in the morning," she said, "a wall of bees sleeping on the window shake themselves awake." She added: "I find it hard to sleep."
When I went outside this morning, I noticed the beehive was gone. I would have liked to see the removal operation, the capable apiarists in white bodysuits extracting the hive and taking it to a nice farm or wildlife reserve where the bees could romp and roam free.
At least, I hope that's what happened.
"A flawless cat!"
My cat caught a mouse today and, after waving its corpse at me from the other side of the flyscreen for a while, I then looked over to see him crunching down on what was left of its head…
My first thought was, "I bet he's thirsty now. Should I offer him some water?"
And my second thought was, "I should google this."
Thankfully, if you scan through the wonderful Q&A veterinary blogs out there you can find good advice on the subject, like this:
"That's the essence of cat's life on globe, to go after that type! Worry if he tries to catch an elephant, or voice a dog!"
"Of course if he starts foaming at the mouth, embezzle him to the vet. Chances of that happening are low though because cats chomp through mice, they just do that. He's a flawless cat!"
I met a parrot today. I walked past her, and she cooed, in the perfect pitch of a middle-aged, middle Australian woman, "Hello!"
I stopped at the cage, amazed. "Hello?"
"Hello! Hello! Hi! Hi! Hello!" The parrot swung on a makeshift rope swing.
"Wow!" I marvelled.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" The parrot mocked.

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago report that people who engage in the arts — or even those who see others engaging in the arts — contribute more to society than those who don't.
And, despite earlier studies to the contrary, Generation X respondents in this research were more civically engaged than older people.
Lead researcher Kelly LeRoux, assistant professor of public administration at the University of Illinois at Chicago, got her data from the 2002 General Social Survey, in which a national sample of 2,765 randomly selected adults participated.
The researchers measured participation in neighborhood associations, church and religious organizations, civic and fraternal organizations, sports groups, charitable organizations, political parties, professional associations and trade unions.
To determine social tolerance, the researchers measured both acceptance for gender orientation and race, rating comments on what kind of books would be acceptable in a library, for example. To measure altruistic behavior, the researchers looked at things such as whether people donated blood or gave directions to strangers.
Arts exposure was defined as going to museums or music, opera and theater events; arts expression was defined as making or performing art.
"If policymakers are concerned about a decline in community life, the arts shouldn't be disregarded as a means to promote an active citizenry," said LeRoux, who plans to repeat the study once 2012 data is collected. "Our positive findings could strengthen the case for government support for the arts."

The paper describes CKB (Construction Kit Builder), a computational design environment based on defining, then working within, a system of components and rules for their placement. In construction details, the components and placement rules are standard; in less routine design tasks they are not. CKB uses a constraint-based, object oriented, system architecture to provide two levels of design support. At the higher level, designers of technical systems use CKB to specify components and rules for their positioning. At the lower level, building designers use CKB to lay out components of these systems.

Postpartum Sex
 After delivery many obstetricians usually tell their patients "nothing in the vagina for six weeks." Or they just say "no sex until the 6-week postpartum visit."
 Couples often get little or no explanations of what they can or cannot do, and are left to their own imagination as to what's allowed and what isn't.
 What obstetricians usually mean by "no sex" is that it's recommended to avoid penetration into the vagina (and also rectum) such as not inserting a penis, fingers, dildo, vibrator, or other things.
 Other doctors may specify only four or even two weeks or when the lochia (postpartum discharge from the vagina) stops, whichever is later.
 Why No Sex Postpartum?
 There are several reasons for the recommendation for delaying postpartum intercourse:
 - Allowing the woman's genital tissues to heal, especially if there was an episiotomy or tearing
 - Allowing a cesarean skin or uterine scar to heal
 - Avoiding infection to the genitals and the uterus
 However, in most cases these risks don't necessarily require weeks of abstinence from intercourse, and there is little scientific proof to require abstinence for exactly 6 weeks after delivery.
 The postpartum visit has been traditionally at six weeks, though there are really no firm rules if 4 weeks or 8 or even 10 weeks are better.
 The reason for the "six week no sex rule" is more for the obstetrician's convenience than the new mom's medical needs.
 Six weeks is usually when the uterus should have returned to its pre-pregnancy size. This is the last of the major physical postpartum changes (again, from the obstetrician's perspective).
 But a woman doesn't really need her uterus return to its pre-pregnancy size for intercourse, and obstetricians put everything into the 6-week postpartum re-check, including "permission" to have intercourse at six weeks.
 Does a women really have to wait 6 weeks after delivery to resume sex? Can you do it earlier? Though many women's desire for sex is lower after delivery, there are many other who want to resume sex right after delivery.
 Some feel that perineal and abdominal healing has not progressed enough to make intercourse pleasurable. Other just don't feel "up to it" postpartum for many reasons including hormonal and other body changes.
 Some studies have shown that the average woman resumes sex after 6 weeks, with amedian time of 3 months, other studies found that 1 in 5 first time mothers took 6 months to feel physically comfortable during sex, and still another study found that over 50% of women were still having less frequent sex at 12 months after childbirth.
 Women who breastfeed sometimes also comment that by the end of the day they are pretty well done with being touched.
 Fear of Pain
 Many women do not desire sex after childbirth because of pain, or fear of pain, during intercourse. The time it takes for a woman's desire to return to previous levels depends largely on her birthing experience.
 Women who deliver with the assistance of forceps tend to take longer to feel comfortable during sex. The same goes for women who experience internal vaginal tears.
 Surprisingly, whether a woman has an episiotomy doesn't seem to make a difference. If a woman experiences pain or fears pain she might try oral sex, manual sex, or being on top during sex, which can help her steer her partner away from sore spots. In any case, she can guide the penis into her vagina gently.
 Also make sure to use a lot of lubricant, as this will combat pain due to vaginal dryness.
 As any new mother knows, the first weeks and months after childbirth are exhausting. Fatigue is one of the most common reasons for low sexual desire. Between recovering from childbirth, hardly sleeping, and the demands of breastfeeding, sex often falls to the wayside.
 Childbirth requires huge adjustments on the part of both parents and sex can be difficult to fit into an already packed schedule and into the changing roles of the individual parents and the partnership itself. For most women, decreased libido is only a temporary change that requires time to return to normal.
 The Bottom Line
 New mothers may find that it takes them a while to get back into the groove when it comes to sex. This can be related to a number of factors, including the disrupted sleep and exhaustion that comes with being a new parent, the precipitous fall of hormone levels after pregnancy, the physical discomfort that is common after childbirth, postpartum depression, and feelings of unattractiveness due to the physical changes that accompany pregnancy. Many, if not all, of these problems will improve with time. As these problems disappear, your sex life will probably improve.

Grammar page 5
The fifth page of the grammar lessons.
When giving advice this is useful.
CONSTRUCTION: ta form (#3) + ほう が いい hou ga ii
yasunda hou ga ii.
It would be better to rest.
kiita hou ga ii.
It would be better to ask (someone).
NOTE: The ta form is the past form. (But obviously no past meaning is intended here.) Observe that the English equivalent "It would be better" or "You had better" gramatically speaking uses the past tense as well, altough it expresses no past meaning.
better / worse than より、のほうがいい/の方が良い
This has the same hou ga ii as above. But here we using it to compare things. Also we will introduce yori (less than).
～のほうがいい ~no hou ga ii (more than),
～より ~yori (less than)
This is a little confusing if you think too much on this! But I suggest memorizing one or two examples and then you should be able to keep it straight.
watashi wa inu yori, neko no hou ga suki.
I like dogs less than cats. (I like cats more than dogs.)
You should spend some time studying the above example to understand how the ordering works.
Notice in English we use either "less than" or "more than" and the meaning is understood by the order of "dogs" and "cats" BUT in Japanese this is also ok:
watashi wa neko no hou ga inu, yori suki
For example たとえば/例えば
Anytime you want to make an illustration or give an example this is the phrase to use.
watashi wa washoku ga suki desu.
I like Japanese style food.
tatoeba, gohan to misoshiru.
For example, rice and miso soup.
You can also ask someone this to get more concrete information.
For example, what?
and (then) そして/然して
そして soshite - connecting phrases. そして is generally used at the start of a sentence, and relates to the preceeding sentence.
watashi wa nihongo ga hanasemasu. soshite, doitsugo ga yomemasu.
I can speak Japanese and I can read German.
watashi wa kare no yuujin desu, soshite itsumademo sou deshou.
I am his friend and will remain so.
そして soshite - inside sentences. In the following example it connects two sub-clauses of a sentence with an 'and' like construction.
watashitachi wa nani o suru ka, soshite doko e iku ka ni tsuite hanashimashita.
We discussed what to do and where to go.
そして soshite - with lists.
watashitachi wa yuushoku no ato, utai, odori, soshite oshaberi o shimashita.
We sang, danced and chatted after dinner.
Here is a very useful question word -- どう dou -- Let's look at ways of using dou.
どうですか。 dou desu ka? How is (it)? [Use this for asking about food, or anything that is being done now] どうでしたか。 dou deshita ka? How was (it)? [Use this to find out about past experiences - movie, last night's date, molded pizza you just ate...]
どうやって？ dou yatte? How do you do it? [Ask this when you are not sure how to do something]
どうしましたか。 dou shimashita ka? What happened? [Ask this if someone looks sad or something has happened]
どうしよう dou shiyou What shall (I or we) do? [This is often used when you can't make a decision and want help... doushiyou, ne!]
どうするの？dou suru no? What will you do? [When you want to encourage someone to make a decision -- Well, what will you do?]
Isn't it? でしょう
If you want to state your opinion and then encourage someone to agree, use deshou.
フィリピンは暑いでしょう? firipin wa atsui deshou? The Philippines is hot, isn't it? 痛いでしょう？ itai deshou? It hurts, doesn't it? [You see someone who has just slammed their head in the low doorway]
But usually でしょう is used to mean 'probably':
雨が降るでしょうね。 Ame ga furu deshou ne. It will probably rain, don't you think?
And another common usage is どうでしょう meaning 'how about...' or 'what do you think about'
うどんはどうでしょう？ udon wa dou deshou? How about some Udon?
Meet the wonderful 'と to.' Mr. と can act as a quotation marker ("). Don't confuse this with the と that means 'and.' Very often if you are quoting someone or some source. This is best shown with examples:
「俺はスーパマン」と言いました。 ore wa su-paman to iimashita. He said, "I am Superman."
あの絵は十世紀に作ったと書いてあります。 ano e wa juu seiki ni tsukutta to kaite arimasu. The book says (it is written) that this painting was made in the 10th century.
It can also be used to mark sound effects of things or animals:
あの犬は「ワン」と言いました。 ano inu wa 'wan' to iimashita.
There are many other usages for 'to.' Paying attention to each usage will help you get a good grasp.
It isn't a sin to be negative. Interesting I should say that...'sin' sounds like'sen' which marks the negative in Japanese in the -masu form. (Ok, so I set that one up...)
話せます hanasemasu - can speak becomes...
私は、日本語が話せません。watashi wa nihongo ga hanasemasen. (I) can't speak Japanese.
分かります wakarimasu - understand becomes...
私は、英語が分かりません。watashi wa eigoga wakarimasen. (I) don't understand English.
If you can make the -masu form, just drop the す and add the せん。
Making negative verb endings.
To make the negative in the plain, or simple, form by taking the basic stem and adding ない to it.
With the 'ru' verbs you simply drop the る and add ない as in 忘れる wasureru (to forget)...
日本語を忘れない。nihongo o wasurenai. (I) don't forget Japanese.
And for the 'u' verbs we change the ending 'u' sound to a 'a' sound as in 書く kaku -> 書か...
手紙を書かない。tegami o kakanai. (I) don't write letters.
する and other irregular verbs
する is しない in the simple form and しません in the polite form
スカイダイビングをしません。sukaidaibingu o shimasen. (I) don't do sky diving.
And 来る kuru is 来ない konai and 来ません kimasen in the formal...
ゴジラが来ない。gojira ga konai. Godzilla doesn't come.
To review the 3 types of verbs click here.
Plan to 予定、つもり
If you plan on speaking Japanese these two words are very useful.予定 yotei and つもり tsumori
予定 yotei and つもり are very similar in meaning and usage. 予定 conveys more of a 'schedule' feel whereas つもり is more of a 'conviction of doing something. All you have to do is to stick either on the end of a verb (simple form)...
To add つもり or 予定 to any verb just find the simple form...
日本に行くつもり/予定です。nihon ni iku tsumori (or yotei) desu. I intend to go to Japan. [if you use tsumori, you 'intend' to go one way or another; if you use yotei you already have a hard schedule set to leave at a certain time.]
Here is how you add it to a する verb
あなたと結婚するつもり/予定です。anata to kekkon suru tsumori (or yotei) desu. I intend to marry you.
You can also use it with nouns by sticking a の before the tsumori and after adjectives. But for now concentrate on the verb usage.
Punctuation 。 、「 」
Punctuation is in many ways similar to English. You have a comma, called a てんor とうてん(読点)and a period at the end of a sentence called a まる or くてん(句点)．The Japanese quotation mark 「 」 is called かぎカッコ(鉤括弧).
Let's quickly go over some common Punctuation thingies:
|。 the まる acts just like our period by ending the sentence. It looks like a ball - maru|
|、 the てん acts like a comma. This is often found after は as in わたし


Agustina Series: Novas leituras, outras Metamorfoses
The polyhedral project entitled Agustina: novas leituras, outras metamorfoses, coordinated by Prof. Doctor Ana Paula Coutinho, originated a concert and an exhibition, developed in partnership with Prof. Doctor Dimitrios Andrikopoulos from ESMAE and Prof. Doctor Graciela Machado, from FBAUP, respectively.
In the first video, we spoke with the students of ESMAE's composition course, who approached the creative process that led to the composition of their works.
In the second, we heard two students who participated in the exhibition entitled "More than words spoken" with works of Engraving-Calcography.
Both initiatives were part of the scientific journey that counted with the participation, among others, of painter Graça Morais and film specialist António Preto.

James Matthew Barrie lived from 1860 to 1937. He was born in Scotland, the son of a weaver. He adored his mother, Margaret Ogilvie – it was the Scottish fashion in those days for wives to keep their maiden names – and, although the family were quite poor she made sure that he was educated. In 1885 Barrie moved to London to follow a literary career.
He first wrote short stories and later successful plays which made him rich and famous. He was very nervous when he gave Peter Pan to his theatrical manager because it was a child's fantasy, the first and only time he had ever written especially for children. But Peter Pan with its flying and theatrical devices was a huge success and continues to be performed today. In 1911 James Barrie turned his play into a novel, one of the most thrilling and magical of all the great adventures that have been written for children.

Today's post is from Morris Proctor, certified and authorized trainer for Logos Bible Software. Morris, who has trained thousands of Logos users at his two-day Camp Logos seminars, provides many training materials.
In a recent blog post about displaying a verse from all Bibles, I suggested creating a collection of English Bibles. This suggestion in turn generated some discussion about the order of books in a collection. If you've created a collection from the Tools menu, you've noticed that Logos alphabetizes the resources in a collection.
To illustrate, in a theology-books collection, Baker's Dictionary of Practical Theology appears before Concise Theology because B is of course before C (A).
When using this collection, therefore, in a search, the Baker results appear before the Concise hits (B).
The question then is, how can we move the Concise ahead of the Baker yet leave them both in the collection? The answer is: rename Concise. This method is a little tedious, but it does accomplish the goal.
- Click the Library icon
- Click the Resource information icon on the library's toolbar (C)
- Type title:theology in the library's Find box to display resources with theology in the title (D)
- Click something other than the title of Concise Theology in the viewing area (E) to display the book in the Resource information pane (F)
- Click the Edit (pencil) icon next to the title in the Resource information pane (G)
- Type the numeral 1 in front of the title in the Edit box so the name of the book is now 1 Concise Theology (H)
- Press the Enter key to save the name
- Repeat this process with other theology books using the numerals 2, 3, 4 etc. (I)
- Close the Library
- Choose Tools | Collections
- Name the collection Theology Books (J)
- In the Rule box, type title:theology to list resources with theology in the title (K)
(Please note: this is not a complete rule to locate all theology books, but used just for illustration purposes.)
- Notice that the resources with numbers in their names are now at the top of the list (L)
To see this newly ordered collection in action, generate a basic search in Theology Books and notice which books appear at the top of the list! (M)
Of course, you can use this same method to reorder books in any collection, such as History Books, Ethics Books, or others. This method ensures that your favorite books always appear at the top of your search results.

A new way to crack or bypass Windows Vista activation is by installing OEM version of Vista on your PC. However, Windows Vista OEM activation needs a new table named SLIC in ACPI module of computer BIOS, and new values in RSTD table, as part of SLP 2.0 (System-Locked Preinstallation). If your motherboard or BIOS ACPI module does not contains the SLIC table, you will need to modify or patch the BIOS to add in the table, plus set a correct OEM ID and OEM Table ID that match the corresponding OEM digital certificate. After modification, you can install Windows Vista with OEM product key and has Windows Vista activated instantly without the need to activate online, as if your Vista system is OEM version that comes preinstalled in branded computer such as HP, Dell, Lenovo, Acer and etc.
Almost all motherboard BIOS can be modified to add in the necessary value needed in SLP2.0. The following guide is based on popular Award BIOS, which is commonly used in DIY or self-build PC or system builder motherboard. For a successful Windows Vista activation, four aspects have to be present:
- OEMID and OEMTableID inside BIOS's ACPI RSDT table.
- SLP Public Key (PubKey) and SLP Marker inside BIOS's ACPI SLIC table.
- OEM product key – listed below in the instructions.
- Microsoft's signed OEM digital certificate.
The utilities or tools that you need include the following:
- CBROM 2.15 or CBROM 2.19 – A tool to add, edit or exchange the components of an Award Modular BIOS. The tool is needed to edit and exchange ACPI digital byte-code table.
- MODBIN6 2.01.01 – Used to modify the Award Modular BIOS strings or options. The tool is needed to modify Award core BIOS module, as CBROM is unable to edit the BIOS module.
- WinHEX – A popular HEX editor used to modify content in the ACPI table.
As seen above, for successful activation, a modification has to be made to RSDT table and SLIC table has to be added. Following is the step to perform to modify motherboard by using Award BIOS as an example so that Windows Vista can be activated as OEM version:
- Create a temporary folder (Vista or BIOS is you like) at root directory (C:\)
- Download CBROM 2.19, MODBIN6 2.01.01 and WinHEX with download links above, and place them in the temporary folder.
- Extract your motherboard BIOS image with name in the format of XXXXXXXX.bin (if the BIOS image name is not with.bin extension, rename it) to the temporary folder by using tool like WinFlash. The easy way is to download the corresponding BIOS file which intended for flash BIOS upgrade from motherboard manufacturers' websites.
- Run modbin6.exe by double clicking on it.
- Select the BIOS image file at the MODBIN6 menu.
- Do not close the window of MODBIN6. Now go to the File Explorer for the temporary folder, you will notice that some more files have been created. Among them, ORIGINAL.BIN is the one that needs to be modify.
- Launch WinHEX and open ORIGINAL.BIN.
- Search for the string of "RSDT" (without quotation marks). You will see ACPI tables in the BIOS. Every 4 characters represents a table in ACPI. Only table name located in this index can be recognized by BIOS and loaded into memory. So in order to load SLIC which is needed by SLP 2.0 for Windows Vista OEM activation, an unimportant table has to be replaced. In this case, you will likely have 2 following options:
- You see a long string such as "RSDT FACP DSDT APIC SSDT SRAT FACS". In this case, SRAT can be safely replaced, and won't affect ACPI functionality.
- You see a slightly shorter string such as "RSDT FACP DSDT APIC MCFG FACS". In this case, the choice of table replacement is lesser. First choice of table to be replaced in MCFG, which shouldn't cause any problem to your system. If MCFG is not available, you can try to replace APIC with SLIC, but you may need to reinstall the operating system.
- You see a very short string of "RSDT FACP DSDT FACS". In this case, you're out of luck, as all is needed for normal functionality of ACPI.
- You cannot find the "RSDT" or any of the above strings at all. This situation likely to happen in new mobo or new BIOS, may be due to change in the way BIOS lookup ACPI tables. In this case, you can try to downgrade and download older version of BIOS file to see if the ACPI is alterable. Else you're out of luck too.
Note: Improved hack to add in SLIC table into BIOS ACPI instead of replacing. Able to solve scenario 3 above.
- Replace the table name you selected (SRAT, MCFG or ACPI) with SLIC.
- Save the modify BIOS file.
- Switch to MODBIN6 window, press F2 to save or click on File, then select Save.
- Open command prompt by type Cmd in Run. Change directory or folder to the temporary folder if need to.
- Type "cbrom219 XXXXXXXX.bin /acpitbl extract" (without quotes) and press Enter.
- Press Enter again when prompted for an extract file name to use the default name of acpitbl.bin.
- Use WinHEX to open acpitbl.bin.
- Search for "RSDT" string (without quotes). The OEMID and OEMTableID is the identifier string for SLP 2.0 that has to match with the product key, and thus has to edit to match according to the OEM product key and certificate that you have.
- OEMID has 6 characters, and OEMTableID has 8 characters. Each hardware manufacturer will have their own identifier here. So if you value your desktop or laptop computer brand, you need to figure out the correct value for it. However, if you're using generic mobo, you can locate the string of "RSDT4…..XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.0BAWRD" (without quotes, your BIOS string may be different), replace with RSDT4….._ASUS_Notebook1.0BAWRD. Here, the OEMID is _ASUS_ and OEMTableID is Notebook. Any empty character should be filled with blank (0x20). This will make your motherboard and BIOS to be recognized by Vista as ASUS mobo.
- Save the file.
- Download Asus OEM acpislic.bin.
- Go back to the command prompt, type "copy acpitbl.bin /b + acpislic.bin /b acpitbl.bin /b" (without quotes) and press Enter to add the SLIC table contents to end of ACPI module. acpislic.bin is digital certificate for SLIC which contains SLP certificate public key and SLP logo. Press Enter to confirm if prompted warning of file overwrite.
- Flash the modified ACPI digital module into the BIOS by entering following command in the Command Prompt, and then press Enter:cbrom219 XXXXXXXX.BIN /acpitbl acpitbl.bin
- Flash and update your BIOS with the SLIC-included modified version. Check your motherboard guide for how to do it.a
- BIOS update is completed. Now verify that the patch on BIOS is correct and accurate by using the following steps:
- Download latest version of Everest Ultimate (currently Everest Ultimate Edition 2006 version 3.50).
- Install and then start Everest.
- Expand the Motherboard component on the left pane.
- Select ACPI.
- Check if SLIC is listed on the top right column.
- If SLIC table is listed, check if OEM ID is _ASUS_ and OEM Table ID is Notebook at the bottom left pane.
- Next select on RSDT table, check if the OEM ID and OEM Table ID in the bottom pane is exactly the same with the value you see of the same keys on SLP/SLIC table, i.e. _ASUS_ and Notebook.
- If everything is correct, BIOS modification is correct.
- Install Windows Vista with the following ASUS computer OEM product key:
Home Basic: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-H8PHC
Home Basic: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-RJC9V
Home Premium: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-QXQMF
Home Premium: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-RPFFV
Ultimate: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-932CCYou can also change your existing Windows Vista product key by using the following command in command prompt with administrator privileges:
slmgr.vbs -ipk
- Download oemcert.xrm-ms, the Microsoft signed OEM certification for ASUS computer which has the identifier that needs to match the BIOS SLIC identifier, preferably to C:\ root.
- Open a command prompt and type the following command, then press Enter:
slmgr.vbs -ilc C:\oemcert.xrm-ms
This will install the digital certificate for OEM activation.
- Check your system properties, Windows Vista should be activated.
Here is a list of already modified to include SLIC table BIOS that you can download and flash for Windows Vista OEM instant activation.
New: Virtual BIOS simulator to bypass Windows Vista activation as OEM OS without the need to modify BIOS in real.

Main Article Content
The need for a multidimensional measure of population health that accounts for its distribution remains a central problem to guide the allocation of limited resources. Absolute proxy measures, like the infant mortality rate (IMR), are limited because they ignore inequality and spatial clustering. We propose a novel, three-part, multidimensional mortality indicator that can be used as the first step to differentiate interventions in a region or country. The three-part indicator (MortalityABC index) combines absolute mortality rate, the Theil Index to calculate mortality inequality and the Getis-Ord G statistic to determine the degree of spatial clustering. The analysis utilises global sub-national IMR data to empirically illustrate the proposed indicator. The three-part indicator is mapped globally to display regional/country variation and further highlight its potential application. Developing countries (e.g. in sub-Saharan Africa) display high levels of absolute mortality as well as variable mortality inequality with evidence of spatial clustering within certain sub-national units ("hotspots"). Although greater inequality is observed outside developed regions, high mortality inequality and spatial clustering are common in both developed and developing countries. Significant positive correlation was observed between the degree of spatial clustering and absolute mortality. The proposed multidimensional indicator should prove useful for spatial allocation of healthcare resources within a country, because it can prompt a wide range of policy options and prioritise high-risk areas. The new indicator demonstrates the inadequacy of IMR as a single measure of population health, and it can also be adapted to lower administrative levels within a country and other population health measures.

Compare and Contrast Holacracy vs Ergatocracy Definition
The easiest way to know the meaning of a word is to get its dictionary meaning. Though the meaning of any particular word can be framed in numerous ways in different dictionaries, its underlying principle remains same. The same is true in case of Holacracy and Ergatocracy definitions. You can compare and contrast Holacracy vs Ergatocracy definitions based on the meaning given by different dictionaries. Dictionary definitions give appropriate meanings for these government types. Holacracy can be described as, Holacracy is a new way of running an organization that removes power from a management hierarchy and distributes it across clear roles. The work can then be executed autonomously, without micromanagement. and Ergatocracy as Rule by the proletariat, the workers, or the working class. Examples of ergatocracy include communist revolutionaries and rebels which control most of society and create an alternative economy for people and workers..

Write like mad with WriteMonkey
Quit aping around and eliminate distractions that keep you from writing with WriteMonkey, which brings the focus of the typewriter without losing some of the best tools from computers.
This lightweight and portable program is similar to other focus-driven programs like Dark Room or Q10. Still in beta, WriteMonkey can be run in a window, but the intent of these one-hit writing tools is to be used at full screen, eliminating distractions.
WriteMonkey can be minimized to a window, maximized to full screen, and comes with a handy jumplist for paragraphs and in-document bookmarks. (Credit: Screenshot by Seth Rosenblatt/CNET)
There are a couple of things that WriteMonkey does very well. First off, all the major program commands are accessible from the right-click context menu. When the program loads in full-screen mode, you can easily minimize it into a window by right-clicking and choosing the first option, "Toggle fullscreen/window." Once in window mode, WriteMonkey's menubar appears, and in the menubar options are listed with their respective hot keys. So, with little effort, it's possible to acclimate to WriteMonkey's environment and learn how to manipulate it without always going to the menus.
WriteMonkey offers some useful tools for writers, too. You can automatically import text from your clipboard, and a Markup Export option makes it a slick Notepad replacement, if that's where you do your coding. Wiki-style tools are used to bold, italicize, and underline and text. *Asterisks* are for bolding, _single underscores_ are for italics, and __double underscores__ activate underlining. Using the standard hot keys for those tasks will work, too.
Unfortunately, once you've exported the text, you'll need to use your Replace tool to convert the marks to proper bold, italics, and underline, but at least there's a familiar implementation of these basic features. WriteMonkey supports symbols, too, so you don't have to worry about going back to put in your accent aigus or accent circonflexes after you've finished your document.
A jump feature makes for quick and multicolored access to your paragraphs, without having to mouse or arrow-key your way through. You can also bookmark various points in your document for faster jumping. Left-click in the top or bottom margins to jump a page up, or click and hold down the mouse button in the left or right margins to quickly scroll through your document.
You can customize the color of the document as well, or set WriteMonkey to choose colors at random when you start the program. Occasionally fun, randomizing the colors is also a fast way to induce a migraine.
There's also a "repository" feature that functions as an alternative document. Conceptually, you could argue that it kind of breaks the idea of a uniform workspace, but at the same time it's nice to have a hot-key accessible, long-form clipboard to handle notes and other text without having to open a new window. Essentially, it works like a tab without being a tab.
A customizable progress bar can be activated, showing word or character counts, and comes with an optional timer if you want to write without stopping. These features only serve to reiterate the writing focus of the program, and are easily toggled via F12.
Besides the obvious limitations in a program that's designed to encourage a laser-like focus in your writing, WriteMonkey could strongly benefit from having a basic installer. The program is portable, taking up about 3MB total, but comes in a ZIP and needs to be extracted into its own folder. A self-extracting EXE would give WriteMonkey a much easier installation process. A lock feature that would prevent you from switching out of it would truly eliminate distractions.
These are quibbles, though. WriteMonkey won't make an ape of your desire to focus on writing, as long as you bring the drive and the talent.

I'm trying to build a simple Scapy script which manually manages 3-way-handshake, makes an HTTP GET request (by sending a single packet) to a web server and manually manages response packets (I need to manually send ACK packets for the response).
Here is the beginning of the script:
import logging
# Import scapy
from scapy.all import *
# beginning of 3-way-handshake
TCP_SYN=TCP(sport=1500, dport=80, flags="S", seq=100, options=[('NOP', None), ('MSS', 1448)])
my_ack = TCP_SYNACK.seq + 1
TCP_ACK=TCP(sport=1500, dport=80, flags="A", seq=101, ack=my_ack)
TCP_PUSH=TCP(sport=1500, dport=80, flags="PA", seq=102, ack=my_ack)
# end of 3-way-handshake
# beginning of GET request
getString = 'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n'
request = ip / TCP(dport=80, sport=1500, seq=103, ack=my_ack + 1, flags='A') / getString
# help needed from here...
The script above completes the 3-way-handshake and prepares the HTTP GET request.
Then, I've to send the request through:
Now, after the sending, I should obtain/manually read the response.
My purpose is indeed to read the response by manually sending the ACK packets of the response (this is the main focus of the script).
How can I do that?
Is the send(_) function appropriate, or it's better to use something like response = sr1(request) (but in this case, I suppose ACK are automatically sent)?

Use sr(), read the data in from every ans that is received (you'll need to parse, as you go, the Content-Length or the chunk lengths depending on whether you're using transfer chunking) then send ACKs in response to the last element in the ans list, then repeat until the end criteria is satisfied (don't forget to include a global timeout, I use eight passes without getting any replies which is 2 seconds).
Make sure sr is sr(req, multi=True, timeout=0.25) or thereabouts. Occasionally as you loop around there will be periods where no packets turn up, that's why HTTP has all those length specs. If the timeout is too high then you might find the server gets impatient waiting for the ACKs and starts re-sending.
Note that when you're using transfer chunking you can also attempt to cheat and just read the 0\r\n\r\n but then if that's genuinely in the data stream... yeah. Don't rely on the TCP PSH, however tempting that may look after a few Wireshark sessions with trivial use-cases.
Obviously the end result isn't a completely viable user-agent, but it's close enough for most purposes. Don't forget to send Keep-Alive headers, RST on exceptions and politely close down the TCP session if everything works.
Remember that RFC 2616 isn't 176 pages long just for giggles.

Did you try:
responce = sr1(request)
print responce.show2
Also try using a different sniffer like wireshark or tcpdump as netcat has a few bugs.

reveals hydrological response of the cave to extreme rainfall events in the Midwest, USA. Cave-flooding events
are identified within the two samples by the presence of detrital layers composed of clay sized particles.
Comparison with instrumental records of precipitation demonstrates a strong correlation between these
cave-flood events and extreme rainfall observed in the Upper Mississippi Valley. A simple model is developed
to assess the nature of rainfall capable of flooding the cave. The model is first calibrated to the last 50-yr
(1950–1998 A.D.) instrumental record of daily precipitation data for the town of Spring Valley and verified
with the first 50 yr of record from 1900 to 1949 A.D. Frequency analysis shows that these extreme flood events
have increased from the last half of the nineteenth century. Comparison with other paleohydrological records
shows increased occurrence of extreme rain events during periods of higher moisture availability. Our study
implies that increased moisture availability in the Midwestern region, due to rise in temperature from global
warming could lead to an increase in the occurrence of extreme rainfall events.
Is this getting as boring for everyone else as it is for me?


'Fear of finding out' is a key barrier preventing or delaying adults from seeking medical advice when concerned about their health or making healthier lifestyle choices, finds new research by AbbVie and 2020Health.
According to the report, 'The Fear of Finding Out: identifying psychological barriers to symptom presentation and diagnosis in the UK', it accounts for nearly a third of all conscious reasons why individuals may be delaying or avoiding visiting their doctor or not taking the necessary steps to improve health.
It argues that 'Fear of Finding Out' is more likely to affect those who have an unhealthy lifestyle and are either smokers, heavy drinkers, or overweight, and highlights the potential scale of this as a barrier to making healthy lifestyle changes.
This is particular pertinent given that 40 percent of all the deaths in England are linked to behaviour, and managing ill-health caused by lifestyle factors is costing the NHS more than £11 billion each year, it notes.
The report's launch came as AbbVie's unveiled a new partnership discovery programme for 2017, called Live:Lab.
The project aims to improve the health of the nation by looking deeper into the 'Fear of Finding Out' and find an innovative solution to help reduce preventable health conditions and improve quality of life in the middle aged and beyond with a view to alleviating the strain placed on the NHS through chronic disease.
Through Live:Lab, the firm said it will recruit some of the nation's "most forward thinking individuals" from diverse fields such as technology, health, creativity, gaming and data "to collaborate and devise an innovative solution that will empower people to take control of their wellbeing".
"With long term funding constraints on our health system, it is part of our duty as an industry to support the NHS in remaining sustainable for as long as possible by being responsible for the nation's health in a way that is in addition to the medicines we make," said Matt Regan, UK General Manager, AbbVie. "We're proud to be part of this unique collaboration through Live:Lab, and will be listening to real people to provide solutions that make a remarkable impact on lives."

What caused Queen's mental breakdown?

 The reason for Queen's nervous breakdown is not clearly stated in the miniseries. Critics usually claim that she had a fear of fire, which could actually make sense.
 1- Once the war was over, the Yankee captain ordered for the Jackson's cotton to be burnt, putting at end to their way of life. It was the beginning of the end for Queen, since she had no place in the plantation anymore.
 2-Then she witnessed a fire when she was first on her own and sought the help of a group of free slaves, who mocked her. Fate made her be hidden when the Ku Klux Klan members arrived and burned them all.
 3-Later on, when Davis was lynched, he was also burnt and Queen found his body.
 4-Finally, her gown caught fire when her sons were to live the family house.
 However, I think that there is much more to it than a simple fear of fire:the most important thing about those fires is their causes and consequences.
 1-She was asked away of the only home and the only way of life she had ever known, of the place where she belonged, of the family that was her own. In her own words: This was my home. My growin up, my life, my dreams and my nightmares. However, she wasn't loved, she didn't fit. Her mixed race condition got in the way, she was deprived of an identity, she didn't fit.
 2- When she was free and on her own, she found out that the free slaves didn't recognize her as their own either, she wasn't wanted or allowed to stay, to join them, to seek for and give protection, to identify as a group. She wasn't comprehended. Her mixed race condition got in the way. She didn't fit. They fed her like an animal which ultimately saved her life.
 3- Her first love was lynched because of the colour of his skin, and her child was endangered in the process. Mr. and Mrs. Benson didn't consider her an equal and used her to get to Davis. Her mixed race condition got in the way for her to fight to keep her child. She didn't fit.
 4- Despite finally having found a place she could call a home, her sons wanted to leave the house. She was ok with Simon leaving so he could carry on studying and better himself, but she wasn't ready to let Abner go, she didn't want him to go through what she had to: starvation, fear, abuse and whatnot. In her words: He going for a purpose, for a reason. What are you gonna do? End up on the street like half of the nig-gers that go up north? Abner, you my first born, and I love you. But you ain't got no idea of what is like out there.
 In sum, the departure of Abner and the accidental little fire, reminded her of all those other fires (and their causes and consequences) in her life. Causes that were never forgotten: I know I got a few demons in me, and I suppose they won't ever go away, but I ain't dangerous to nobody, except me..Consequences that made her grieve to the point of almost losing her mind. The constant struggle to find her place in the world, to fit, to be loved.

ICE-ISLAND in Mid-Atlantic Proposed (Oct, 1932)
ICE-ISLAND in Mid-Atlantic Proposed
SEADROMES for ocean landing fields are not a new idea, a steel 'drome designed by Edward Armstrong, recently described in these pages, being well on the road to practical acceptance. But the proposal to build seadromes of ice, recently advanced from Germany, seems fantastic until one realizes that the idea has already passed the experimental stage with flying colors.
The German scientist Dr. Gerke of Waldenburg two years ago erected an ice island in Lake Zurich by artificial means, which endured six days after the refrigerating machinery was switched off. His proposal for a mid-Atlantic way station of ice involves the construction of a framework of hollow tubing which; when filled with liquid air manufactured in a refrigerating plant, freezes the water surrounding it into a solid mass.
Design of the island would call for a section on which a landing field and buildings for offices and refrigerating plants could be built.

I'm having a bit of confusion about how to render text in a pure AS3 project. There are classes like flash.text.StaticText but these are designer-only, you can't create them in code. I was half-expecting the Graphics class to have text-rendering options but alas, no.
Specifically I was going to add a label above each player's sprite with their name, health %, etc. So I expected to add a child text-element or draw text using Graphics in some way... it's read-only and should not support user-input, I just want to draw text on-screen.

You can use TextField class for this. Please check the reference. All fields and methods are self explanatory.
A possible example.

Self-reinforcing Mechanisms in a Multi-technology Industry: Understanding Sustained Technological Variety in a Context of Path Dependency
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2015
This paper studies self-reinforcing mechanisms in multi-technology industries, i.e. industries in which technological lock-in does not occur and several technologies continue to coexist. The purpose of this paper is to investigate what kind of self-reinforcing mechanisms can be present in such industries and explain how multiple paths can coexist and interact in a context of self-reinforcement and, ultimately, path dependency. Building on the empirical example of the lighting industry, the paper shows that all previously recognized types of self-reinforcing mechanisms can be present in a multi-technology industry. However, in addition to the path-internal positive feedbacks and cross-path negative externalities identified in single-path settings, multi-technology industries also experience positive cross-path externalities that create a symbiotic relationship between alternatives and allow for the reproduction of the same development pattern across technologies. Due to the existence of such non-negative technology interactions, multi-technology industries can be path dependent while still retaining technological variety.
