Alberta MD: Canada 'Lying' About Tar Sands Health Impacts
February 27, 2014 News Editor At Risk, Latest News, RSS Comments Off on Alberta MD: Canada 'Lying' About Tar Sands Health Impacts
WASHINGTON, DC, February 27, 2014 (ENS) – The governments of Alberta and Canada have been "lying," to cover up the health impacts of the Canadian tar sands industry on northern Alberta communities, a Canadian medical doctor told U.S. senators at a news conference Wednesday on Capitol Hill.
Dr. John O'Connor, a family physician who serves mostly aboriginal patients between Fort McKay and Fort McMurray, appealed to the lawmakers "to keep up the pressure. This is an ongoing tragedy. A total disgrace."
Dr. O'Connor was invited to brief two U.S. Senators on the health effects of extracting, refining, transporting and burning the world's largest deposits of bitumen, or extremely heavy crude oil, located in northeastern Alberta.
In a news conference on Capitol Hill Senators Barbara Boxer and Sheldon Whitehouse called for a study on the health impacts of the tar sands industry.

Senator Barbara Boxer, a California Democrat who chairs the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, a Rhode Island Democrat who serves on the committee, invited Dr. O'Connor to Washington to brief them on his experiences.
Saying the health impacts of tar sands oil are being ignored, the two senators Wednesday called on Secretary of State John Kerry and the Obama Administration to conduct "an immediate and comprehensive study" of the public health risks to communities from the proposed Keystone XL pipeline that would carry diluted bitumen from Alberta, across the U.S.-Canada border to refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast.
"Health miseries follow tar sands – from extraction to transport to refining to waste disposal," Senator Boxer told reporters at the news conference.
O'Connor said he came to Washington "with absolutely no political agenda" but felt he had to act as an "advocate for patients" because his frequent calls for Canadian authorities to take precautionary measures of safeguard the health of northern Alberta communities have been ignored.
"In my experience, when pressure is exerted outside Canada, the government reacts," said O'Connor at the Washington news conference.
"These are published, peer-reviewed studies that indicate that the government of Alberta and Canada have been lying, misrepresenting the impact of industry on the environment," said O'Connor.
The Alberta physician cited statistics for rare cancers that are now 400 times more frequent than would be expected in the tiny community of Fort Chipewyan, which lies just north of the oil sands.
O'Connor pointed to the case of Fort Chipewyan Councillor John Chadi who fell ill last fall just 48 hours after being sworn into office. He was diagnosed with rare, incurable bile duct cancer, also found in other people living nearby.
The Alberta government denies any link between the oil sands industry and cancer, stating on its website that there is "insufficient evidence to link the incidence of cancer in Fort Chipewyan to oil sands operations" and rates of cancer are "within the expected range."

O'Connor said Canadian physicians are afraid of repercussions, "if they dared to speak 'health issues and tar sands' in the same sentence."
But he told the news conference of a December 2013 study by scientists from the University of Michigan and UC Irvine showing that rates of leukemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma have soared since 2004, particularly among men who live downwind of emissions from the tar sands operations.
One of those scientists, Dr. Stuart Batterman, professor of environmental health sciences at the U. Michigan School of Public Health, was also at Wednesday's news conference.
"We need to be proactive and avoid this situation in the first place," Batterman said. He said the problem should be solved before cancer develops, not relying on damage control after the disease has appeared.
Boxer told reporters at the news conference, "We need to clearly understand that as tar sands oil flows to our Gulf Coast refineries, it will increase the toxic pollution that already plagues communities like Port Arthur, Texas, which is near many refineries that will process tar sands."
Hilton Kelley, a community representative from Port Arthur, told the news conference that his city is already on the U.S. EPA's list of cities with dangerous ozone levels, and its residents suffer from asthma, respiratory ailments, skin irritations, and cancer. Tar sands will add another threat to Port Arthur and other communities that are already in distress.
"To get to the Gulf Coast, tar sands will be transported by pipeline through communities in environmentally sensitive areas in six states. We know from experience how harmful this can be, because tar sands oil is very difficult to clean up when a spill occurs," said Boxer.
In their letter to Secretary Kerry requesting a public health study of the Keystone XL pipeline, the senators wrote, "Tar sands oil is very difficult to clean up when a spill occurs, and a 2010 tar sands pipeline spill into the Kalamazoo River still has not been resolved."
"In neighborhoods in Detroit and Chicago, massive open piles of tar sands waste byproduct, known as "pet coke," have resulted in billowing black clouds containing concentrated heavy metals. Children playing baseball have been forced off the field to seek cover from the clouds of black dust that pelted homes and cars," the senators wrote.

First proposed by the Alberta company TransCanada in 2008, Keystone XL requires a Presidential Permit because the pipeline would cross the U.S.-Canada border into Montana.
The State Department is responsible for reviewing applications for cross-border oil pipelines, deciding whether the pipeline would serve the U.S. national interest and making a recommendation to the President, who makes the final decision.
The Keystone XL pipeline is now in the National Interest Determination/Final Decision phase after years of environmental impact reviews and challenges to those reviews.
In their letter requesting an assessment of the public health risks, Boxer and Whitehouse wrote, "The Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement was woefully inadequate regarding human health impacts, and we believe it is critically important that peer-reviewed research on these issues is fully considered before any decision is made on the Keystone XL pipeline."
"We believe that putting more Americans at risk for asthma, cancer, and other serious health impacts is not in our national interest," the senators wrote to Kerry. "Clearly much more needs to be done before any final decision on the Keystone XL pipeline is made, and we urge you to complete a comprehensive human health impacts study – nothing less than the health of our families is at stake."

With an annual parallax shift of 9.36 mas, it is located around 350 light years from the Sun. This pair is one of two stars named Delta Chamaeleontis, the other being the slightly brighter Delta2 Chamaeleontis located about 6 arcminutes away. Delta Chamaeleontis forms the southernmost component of the constellation's "dipper" or bowl. Together with Gamma Chamaeleontis, they point to a spot that is within 2° of the south celestial pole.

The two components of Delta1 Chamaeleontis have visual magnitudes of 6.3 and 6.5. As of 2000, the pair had an angular separation of 0.783 arcseconds along a position angle of 83.8°. They can be separated by a  aperture telescope. The pair is a source of X-ray emission with a flux of .

All over the world, the situation of museum storage is worrying, as shown by the International Survey on Museum Storage conducted by ICCROM and UNESCO in 2011. Read the survey summary report here.
In the United States, the 2005 Heritage Health Index showed that only 11% of institutions had adequate storage facilities; moreover, a 2011 report by the Inspector General said 10% of inventoried items at the National Museum of American History are expected to be missing.
In Russia, as reported in 2008 by the French newspaper Le Monde, the inventory control of a large national museum revealed 50,000 missing objects.
In Canada, the Collections Survey 2008/2009 by the Canadian Art Museum Directors' Conference (CAMDO) showed that 37.2% of storage facilities were inadequate and that 93% of storage areas would be full within 10 years.
In Wales, the 2007 report Spotlight on Museums revealed that 67% of museum storage areas were already full, or would be within 5 years.
In the UK, the 2008 University College London led research Collections for People showed that overcrowding was believed to be the biggest deterrent to opening up storage to the public.
While much has been written on how to plan new storage areas starting from zero, most museums are not faced with this problem at all. Instead, they must improve a situation that has deteriorated over time: objects are no longer visible, accessible or retrievable; materials of all kinds have accumulated in the aisles, and the building no longer offers adequate protection.
Although 60% of museums worldwide are faced with this particular problem, literature and tools on this topic are virtually inexistent.
The storage reorganization methodology aims to help museum professionals implement meaningful changes in their storage area(s) by providing a systematic, step-by-step approach to improve the collection's potential for use and access, while ensuring its long-term conservation.
The storage reorganization methodology also provides original didactic material for instructors in the fields of conservation, museum studies and collections management to help them integrate storage reorganization into their teaching curricula.
Who want the stored collection to be usable for the museum's public outreach activities, and for it to be presentable to colleagues.
Who have colleagues that are keen to work together to reorganize the storage areas, but don't know where to start.
Who want their students to have a positive impact on the state of storage worldwide.
Who are aware that few didactic resources and literature exist on this subject.
Who need new, comprehensive material to support their teaching.
Here's why you should join!
"The RE-ORG website is an ideal tool for people who know a bit but want to know more. We try to empower people to think creatively about looking after their collections with the resources available to them. Your website provides a very practical and useful set of tools. Well done for developing it!"
"Museum storage is considered as the "materialized memory" of our history. So we better keep it in good order to make available for use - and accessible to future generations. This methodology helps!"
"The storage reorganization methodology is similar to making a wise investment with expectations of good returns and avenues to open up development opportunities for collections management in museum storage areas."
"I am particularly grateful for the possibility of using this methodology as a didactic tool, and teaching present and future museum professionals a meaningful approach to one of the key segments of collections management."
"Using this step-by-step methodology is not only easy and efficient, but also fun and friendly. I believe this tool can solve many recurring problems in the area of collections management."
"RE-ORG offers tools to help museum personnel, students and non-specialist audiences to communicate and work together to reorganize storage using evidence-based recommendations."

We're lovin' that former McDonald's brand marketer Tania Haigh is helming her own Chicago startup, Magnolia Insights, Inc., a national marketing strategy firm that targets influential women and moms.
Now that's a full plate: The Illinois Restaurant Association has appointed Hyatt Regency Chicago's Patrick Donelly as its new board chairman. In the role, Donelly will work to bolster the restaurant industry statewide.
The Hard Rock Hotel Chicago showed its support for manager Carlyle Robinson, who was diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome. The hotel teamed up with Delete Blood Cancer DKMS for the second annual bone marrow drive, followed by a complimentary lunch, cotton candy social and cocktail reception.
Meg Galus has a sweet new gig: The former Park Hyatt and NoMI pastry cheff has signed on with Boka Restaurant Group as executive pastry chef. Her first goal? To create a three-course dessert tasting menu at Boka, featuring items like chocolate crudo, banana cake and lemon meringue.
Hotel guests are "inn" good hands: General Manager Ryan McKenzie and Director of Sales Cindy Brown are hard at work prepping the city's newest hotel, the Hampton Inn Chicago Michigan Avenue, for its summer opening.

Eagles eager to get season underway
By Michael Rich - For the Gazette
Delaware Christian senior Hannah Maurer (center) looks for a pass in the Eagles' scrimmage against Grove City Christian last week. The DCS girls basketball team opens at home Friday at 6:30 p.m. against Centerburg in non-league play.
Michael Rich | Gazette
If there's one thing the Delaware Christian girls basketball team has shown in the early part of the of the preseason – it's eagerness.
Eight of the 10 players on this year's squad played volleyball in the fall.
The volleyball team made a run in the tournament before falling in the district final Oct. 27 one day after coaching was allowed to begin for basketball.
So, it's a good thing Jackie Boggs coaches both sports … because she had a plan.
She told her volleyball players to show up Oct. 31, a Wednesday, for a light shootaround.
But when she came to the gym Oct. 30 to work with non-volleyballers Rachel Fisher (junior) and Katie Neuhart (freshman), everybody else showed up, too.
So, despite her best intentions – they got to work.
"I wanted them to have a break," Boggs said. "They've been in the gym every Saturday since August because we played a ton of (games)."
The Eagles had to rely on Lyssi Snouffer for a lot of their offense last season. Snouffer averaged 24.4 points and 18.8 rebounds per game for DCS, which finished 12-10 and 7-5 in the Mid-Ohio Christian Athletic League.
"I really feel like we can contend for the (MOCAL) title with what we have," Boggs said.
Boggs believes there are some pieces to help take the load off Snouffer this year.
"We have three freshmen, three sophomores, three juniors and a senior," Boggs said. "I really like all of them. They're pushing each other hard."
Boggs has a couple of freshmen that could make an impact for the Eagles this season in Neuhart and Emma Rindfuss.
"(Neuhart is) going to take a lot of pressure off Lyssi because she's very good in the post also," Boggs said. "(Rindfuss) is probably going to make some waves because she's fast. (She just has) no fear."
Hannah Maurer is back for her third season on the varsity level and is the team's only senior.
"I'm not trying to get the most points or the most shots," Maurer said. "I'd really like to get a lot of assists because it's important to have everyone participating and scoring. (We) haven't won (a league) title in a long time. This year, I think we have a team that could compete for that (and) that would be pretty awesome."
Juniors Abbi Maurer and Fisher and sophomores Erin Bauslaugh and Nikki Sneddon return from last year's squad.
Freshman Abbey McKee rounds out the roster. Boggs said she's only been playing for a couple of years. She'll bring energy and provide depth for the Eagles.
"Our freshmen are really pushing us in practice," Hannah Maurer said. "They're gonna take our spots if we don't watch out."
DCS opens the season at home Friday night against Centerburg in non-league action. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
"We've never opened (this early) – so we'll see how it goes," Boggs said. "We usually try to free up our holidays. We're playing over Christmas break, too."

Q: jquery sort a list according to div element status I have got a list contains a div on each line. One of the elements of each div is a label. Labels contain in/out information for markers located in a map (also in a shaded area). I want them to be sorted according to labels in/out status. What I have done so far is having the code below.
Users can change the scale of the shaded area which changes the status of the markers. Therefore, the list should be updated according to the markers' status on the map. All the markers IN should be on top of the list and the outs should be placed after 'INs'.
**I have got method doing this with 30 lines.I want to use this method.
A is my test loop code to ensure that I am having my in/Out labels html property correctly.
B is the code which is not working at the moment. Can anyone familiar please have a look what is missing in the code.
Thanks in advance.
Html  Code

    <input type="checkbox" name="checkbox_13A  North Buderim Bvd Buderim" id="4" value="13A North Buderim Bvd Buderim">
    13A  North Buderim Bvd Buderim
    In

PS: List is sth like this.
checkbox | address1 | In
checkbox | address2 | Out
checkbox | address3 | In
checkbox | address4 | Out
A)
$(this.children()).each(function (ind){

      var html = $(this).children().filter(".inOutControl").html();
      alert(html);
});

B)
   $("#list").sort(sortTest);

        var sortTest = function(a,b){
            //return $(a).find(".inOutControl").html() > $(b).find(".inOutControl").html() ? 1 : -1;
            return $(this, a).filter(".inOutControl").html() != $(this, b).filter(".inOutControl").html() ? 1 : -1;
        };

PS: Similar to this, but I don't know why it is not working.

A: This works..just in case if anyone needs it...
$("#list").sortList();

$.fn.sortList = function(){
        var $list = $(this);
        var listItems = $list.children().get();
        listItems.sort( function(a,b){
            return $( a).find(".inOutControl").html() > $( b).find(".inOutControl").html() ? 1 : -1;
        });
        $.each(listItems, function(idx, itm){$list.append(itm);});
        return this;

A growing number of churches are joining together against the ordination of a gay minister in Scotland.
The Church of Scotland appointed Scott Rennie, a divorced father-of-one who lives with his homosexual partner, as minister of a church in Aberdeen in July.
Now a group of like-minded congregations set up to oppose the move says it has received more than 100 requests for application packs from churches wanting to join.
The Fellowship of Confessing Churches say 46 churches are already members. Read more here.

Due Process for Guantanamo Detainees: The D.C. Circuit Rules in Qassim
Robert Loeb Tue, Jun 25, 2019, 4:09 PM
On June 21, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit returned to the question of the constitutional rights possessed by the detainees remaining at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. In particular, Khalid Ahmed Qassim asserted a Fifth Amendment due process right to see the classified information that allegedly supports his detention.

Brett Kavanaugh: A Judicial Lamb on National Security
Robert Loeb Wed, Jul 25, 2018, 8:30 AM
In considering Judge Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination, there are many important unknowns, including how he would treat court precedents regarding such hot topics as same-sex marriage and abortion. In regard to national security and foreign affairs, however, there is little such ambiguity. Kavanaugh has a long, established track record on such matters—generally viewing them as issues for Congress and the executive, not the judiciary, to decide. A recurring theme across numerous Kavanaugh opinions is that a court cannot freelance on such matters.

Presumptions of Regularity Do Not Insulate the President's Travel Ban Motives from Judicial Review
Robert Loeb Tue, Sep 19, 2017, 12:11 PM
"Regular" is not the first word that comes to mind when I think about the current president. The process that led to the travel ban is a perfect example of why. The original executive order was rushed out in fulfillment of then-candidate Trump's promised "Muslim ban" ("Statement on Preventing Muslim Immigration," Dec. 7, 2015), without the regular vetting for such policies.

For the grilling novice, nothing is more reassuring than a meat thermometer and Meater has one of the best meat thermometer's out there.
What makes Meater's meat thermometer special is that it monitors the internal temperature and the external temperature of your meat while on the grill. From there, it'll estimate the cook time for your meat, depending upon the temperature you want it at and what you're cooking. It'll even send you an alert when your meat has finished cooking.
Bluetooth technology allows you to monitor the temperature and cooking time from 33 feet away or up to 165 feet if you purchase the Meater+. The Meater+ includes a signal repeater that will extend the range by more than 130 feet.
The thermometer charges off a AAA battery, which will give you 100 uses.
The app provides a guided cook system so all you have to do is select what you're cooking and the degree of doneness you'd like. Meater will estimate the cook time based on your inputs. Discover more grilling tools you'll love on Amazon.
Find it at Meater's website for $69 or pick up the Meater+ version that allows 165-foot range for $99.
What's Up With Infrared Grills?
It sounds pretty high-tech, but the concept is relatively simple. Infrared grills have a mostly solid, corrugated grate between the flames and the food. The grate protects food from flare-ups—ideal for fatty meats. It also distributes heat more evenly, allowing for consistent cooking across the grill. More control also means less gas consumption, up to 30 percent less. The one downside is that you can no longer blame your burned burgers on a hot spot.

The House of Pinkhusovich in Minsk
The House of Pinkhusovich is one of the landmarks of Minsk, which is included into the Trinity Suburb, located in the historic centre of the Belarusian capital, on the left bank of the river Svisloch and previously being an important trading and administrative place. The exact address of the building – 5, Storozhevskaya Street.
The House of Pinkhusovich being a part of the Trinity Suburb, which is also called Trinity hill, is located in the north-east of the historic city centre and it is an important place of tourist excursions both for foreign visitors of the capital and for the Belarusians themselves.
The history of the House of Pinkhusovich dates back to the second half of the XIX century, when the structure was erected as a private dwelling house. However, after a while the building turned to be a guest house, where the Imperial Russian army accommodated. Thus, soon the house turned into barracks, where mostly officers lodged. It isn't known for sure, whether that was the owner's desire or it happened like that circumstantially.
Two companies (the 9th and the 10th) of the 120th Serpukhovsky infantry, which participated in the Russo-Turkish war of 1877-78, were located directly in the House of Pinkhusovich. It is notable, that the company, which ceased to exist only with the advent of the Soviet authorities, had lodged for a long time in Minsk. And the street, where the main part of Serpukhovsky infantry barracks was located, got the respective name – Serpukhovskaya (today – Volodarsky Street).
After the Revolution of 1917 the House of Pinkhusovich in Minsk came to be a block of flats. Today there are also flats (mostly on the second and the third floors), and on the ground floor a hairdresser's works, which is called "Hairdresser's in the Suburb".
When the house was just built in the second half of the XIX century, it was located in the north suburb of the town. A large Trinity market was located nearby, recollections of which are still alive in the memory of Minsk old generation's people, and a big mill operated on the bank of the river Svisloch. Scenery stretching around the house reminded more of rural, than urban one, familiar to the eye of present residents and the guests of Minsk city.
Today, Storozhevskaya Street, where the House of Pinkhusovich is located, is situated in the centre of Minsk and stretched from the crossroad with Maksim Bogdanovich Street along the river Svisloch to the First ring road. Thanks to its good location in present the building as other structures of the Trinity Suburb, draws the eye both local residents and numerous tourists.
Speaking about the building architecture, it is necessary to mention, that the structure represents a rectangular with sloped gable roof, two balconies located on the second and the third floors as well.

This collection invokes both the unknown and the unknowable; the celestial bodies of the sun, moon, and stars. In Persia, these were the Royal Stars, the guardians of the sky, each of whom had a piece of the sky to command. Using traditional motifs and designs, each piece of Midnight in Persia aims to capture an element of the spellbinding eastern sky.
Fused with a striking color on either side, these pieces are richly adorned from front to back with intricate enamel work, showcasing master craftsmanship: paired with traditional polki diamonds this gives every design an understated old world charm. The reversible pieces give the wearer a choice of face, with the on-looker catching a brief glimpse of the beauty that also lies on the other side.

Semblance (2017)
"Semblance" is about outward appearance. Inspired by today's world, and the way we view the people around us. I try to have a positive message with all of my work. It usually involves the way we fit into this world, whether it be past experience, our lives now, or the hopes for the future. This show was inspired by the challenges of today. The way we perceive others. The people in my series were individually carved and placed together in different combinations or alone. By using vivid colors in the background I hoped to accomplish a sense of displacement.
The work was created using acrylics & ink on reclaimed wood with an epoxy resin coat.
FLUX (2013)
"Flux" is about change and moving through life. Growing as a person and the importance and significance of objects and communication. Everything from a Popsicle on a hot day when you're a kid, to the power lines that keep us connected to the world around. The airstream that may have inspired moving, the plane that took or will take us to a new destination, the camera that documented a moment in time.
This show was inspired by my nephew Forest and his exit from childhood to his entrance into the world as an adult.
Artwork inspired by one of my favorite holidays, Day of the Dead.
Some pieces made with shadow box mixed media and acrylic on wood.
In and Around (2007)

Abstract : This paper very shortly describes some hardware solutions of central processor (CPU) of BESM-6. CPU had very deep instruction pipe with an associative buffer for instructions and an associative buffer for data with original protocol. Logical and storage elements used only domestic discrete components. Main logical unit based on differential amplifier with pyramid of rich diode logic and paraphase synchronization. Original construction without printed plate made wire connections very short and gave possibilities for direct access to every contacts and interchanging modules. All these solutions permitted to achieve high clock frequency, reliability and effective maintenance.

Q: Como contar acessos únicos semanais em MySQL Tenho essa consulta em MySQL para verificar os acessos únicos a um sistema meu:
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT id_usuario) AS total, dia FROM acesso
WHERE (dia BETWEEN '2018-01-21' AND '2019-01-21')
GROUP BY dia
ORDER BY dia ASC

E ao meu ver ele está listando certo os acessos únicos ao sistema.
Minha dúvida: o cliente pediu para checar os acessos únicos semanais, ou seja, se o usuário acessar ao menos 1 única vez durante o período de 1 semana, já contaria o acesso dele, como fazer? Tentei assim, mas o total acaba dando menor que o acesso único diário:
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT id_usuario) AS total, dia FROM acesso
WHERE (dia BETWEEN '2018-01-21' AND '2019-01-21')
GROUP BY WEEK(dia)
ORDER BY dia ASC

A: Se você fizer esta query, vai criar uma tabela analítica com os distintos numa determinada semana, filtrando por intervalo de datas
SELECT id_usuario, week(dia) as semana FROM acesso
WHERE dia  BETWEEN '2019-01-01' and '2019-04-16'
group by id_usuario, week(dia)

Com base nestes resultados, você pode contar os distintos neste intervalo de tempo
SELECT count(distinct id_usuario) as total from (SELECT id_usuario, week(dia) as semana FROM acesso
WHERE dia  BETWEEN '2019-01-01' and '2019-04-16'
group by id_usuario, week(dia)) T

A: Se você deseja saber apenas o total de acessos nos últimos 7 dias, pode fazer desta forma:
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT id_usuario) AS total FROM acesso
WHERE dia  >= (DATE(NOW()) - INTERVAL 7 DAY)

Use of methyl 2-(bromomethyl)acrylate as a chain-transfer agent to yield functionalized macromonomers via conventional and living radical polymerizations
UNSPECIFIED (2000) Use of methyl 2-(bromomethyl)acrylate as a chain-transfer agent to yield functionalized macromonomers via conventional and living radical polymerizations. MACROMOLECULES, 33 (16). pp. 5819-5824. doi:10.1021/ma991922t
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/ma991922t
The chain-transfer constants of methyl (2-bromomethyl)acrylate (MBrMA) in bulk polymerizations of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and styrene were determined at 70 degrees C using both the Mayo method (1/DPn as well as 2/DPw) and the chain-length-distribution procedure (Lambda). The C(MBrMA)values using 2/DPw and Lambda were consistent, i.e., 1.28 and 1.20 for MMA and 11.44 and 10.92 for styrene, respectively. MBrMA was used as a chain-transfer agent in the emulsion polymerization of MMA to yield an a-bromo-functionalized macromonomeric latex ([M-n] = 9.6 x 10(3) g mol(-1); PDI = 1.80), which was subsequently copolymerized with styrene to yield the corresponding poly(styrene-graft-MMA) copolymer. MBrMA was used as an addition-fragmentation agent in the living radical polymerization of MMA mediated by copper(I) bromide/N-(n-octyl)-2-pyridylmethanimine In situ addition of a 5-fold equivalent of MBrMA and Cu(0) to this polymerization quenched the reaction and transformed the omega-bromide into the methacrylate-based macromonomer quantitatively.

There are many routes to take when trying to get a clear diagnosis of your child's inability to maintain themselves in school or manage impulsive behavior. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) can both be effectively treated by our pediatricians at Village Pediatrics in Plano, TX. Our experienced doctors start the process to an ADHD or ADD diagnosis first by asking specific questions about your child in and outside of the classroom. Having the inability to focus the brain on schoolwork is only a small piece of the ADHD/ADD puzzle. There are numerous factors to look at, such as why your child is easily distracted, has poor impulse control, and much more. We want to help your child succeed academically, and socially by getting him or her targeted support with or without medication. To learn more about what a diagnosis of ADHD/ADD means, please call and schedule an appointment with us today.
Children who have ADHD will not only have trouble in the classroom, but at home and in social situations, as well. This condition is not limited to learning. A child who has ADHD will suffer setbacks in many aspects of his or her young life without proper treatment and care.
Without the hyperactivity component to ADD, the difference between the two disorders is minimal. A child with ADD will have the inability to focus on school or homework, great difficulty staying on task, becomes easily frustrated when assignments seem overwhelming, and much more. Regardless of ADD or ADHD, both conditions are treatable with the same kinds of medication from your pediatrician, such as stimulants, non-stimulants, and anti-depressants.
Your child's primary care provider (pediatrician), psychiatrist, or clinical psychologist can prescribe and manage ADHD and ADD medication for your diagnosed child. They may also make recommendations for the child's diet, nutritional supplements, sleep schedule, therapy, and more to get the most out of your medication regimen.
Our pediatric office recommends that parents with children who exhibit ADHD/ADD symptoms document where they see their child having the most trouble. The child's teacher may also have some input into whether or not the child has problems in the classroom setting with focus and behavior. We will do our best to help your child get the right diagnosis and make recommendations based on the findings. We are here to help. Please call and set up an appointment to get started today.

Die Staaten Estland und São Tomé und Príncipe unterhalten seit 2009 bilaterale Beziehungen.

Geschichte

Estland erklärte sich im Jahr 1918 für unabhängig, und erlangte 1991 erneut Unabhängigkeit. São Tomé und Principe wurde 1975 von Portugal unabhängig.

Während der ersten Phase der estnischen Unabhängigkeit, von 1918 bis 1940, unterhielt Estland diplomatische Beziehungen mit Portugal, unter anderem wurde ein Handelsvertrag unterzeichnet.

2009 fingen die beiden Länder schließlich an, diplomatische Beziehungen aufzunehmen. Der estnische und die são-toméische Botschafterin in Portugal unterzeichneten ein gemeinsamen Communiqué. São Tomé und Principe erhofft sich daraus mehr Touristen aus Estland zu haben

Reisefreiheiten
Estnische Reisende in São-Tomé und Principe brauchen kein Visum, wenn ihr Aufenthalt im Land kürzer als 15 Tage ist.

Kulturelle Beziehungen
Der estnische Filmemacher Kris Haamer veröffentlichte 2011 den Film Tomé, welcher von einer Künstlergruppe in São Tomé und Prinzipe handelt.

Can someone please confirm for me whether Xiaomi mobile phone is Chinese or Indian. Also it would a good idea to know what the performance of these mobiles is like, whether they last long or not and if they are reliable. I have seen a few Xiaomi phones and they are quite good and have good specifications, and I was thinking whether it would be good to get a Xiaomi mobile as a second phone or not.
I dont know much about the phone brand, but I know there has been some recent privacy concern with Xiaomi phones.
It is a good phone for basic purposes, like calling, messaging, internet etc., with a good battery.
It is not suitable for gaming or even multi-tasking because RAM is insufficient.
It has been noted that it often connects to its servers in China, God knows what info it sends there, but for this Xiaomi has said that it will set up servers in India which could be monitored.
Yes it was in the new a few days, that data gets sent to China servers, which is why it is not allowed to be used by the Indian Airforce. I think Moto E is defiantly a better option than Xiaomi, at least it is more reliable, I think there is a second version for the Moto E phone.
Xiaomi phones are pretty much the same as Micromax and Lava phones, so expect the same from Xiaomi phones.
As you said you want a second phone so it is not bad, but then you can also consider a cheap Samsung phone which would roughly cost the same.

Pedro B. Ortiz is currently a visiting professor at Milano Politecnico University (Italy) as well as senior urban consultant for international governments and multilaterals, as the Inter-American Development Bank or the World Bank (Washington D.C.). He has accumulated metropolitan management experience on the five continents. Previously, he was Deputy Director of the Council of Architects of Madrid and Director of the Institute for Urban Renewal, a joint venture between the public and private sectors in Madrid. He was also the founder and director of the masters program of town planning at the University King Juan Carlos of Madrid, after being Director General for Regional Planning of Madrid region and Deputy Mayor for Madrid in charge of strategic planning for the capital of Spain. He made the Strategic Plan of Madrid in 1994 and the Metropolitan Plan in 1996. You can find out more about Pedro and his work here.
His work addresses metropolitan rapid growth all over the world, as does his new book 'The Art of Shaping the Metropolis.' Pedro's work expands on a methodology for smart metropolitan planning developed during his time as director of the Metropolitan Plan for Madrid with two models to restructure mega metropolises: the Metro–Matrix archetype at the metropolitan scale, and Balanced Urban Development unit for the city scale. Pedro's vision is for a new city form that moves from the dominant monocentric model to polycentric cities, based on mass public transport, with a reticular grid pattern. If developed and designed well, it is argued that each center will have its own character, enhanced by designers of public space to create centers with a sense of place blending culture, heritage and modernity.

So, for example, at the bottom of the screen there might be 4 buttons: "Time 1", "Time 2" and "Time 3" and "Show All". If you clicked on one of the times, it would just show where the object was at that time, but if you click on the "show all" button, then all the dots are displayed at the same time.
What is the best way to set this up in SVG? I can draw dots, but I am unsure of the best methods for using Javascript to do animations/hidings like this.


Knee pain is one of the most common causes of chronic pain, affecting some 25% of people throughout the world and affects more men than women. It has many causes, including obesity, exercise, and osteoarthritis.
The knees are susceptible to injury and are difficult to treat because they are composed of many different types of muscles and ligaments that it can be difficult to get a diagnosis just by movement or looking.
One of the reasons why knee pain is so difficult to treat is because it is a weight-bearing joint, and ongoing movement will typically exacerbate existing injuries. This can be a serious problem and impact your day-to-day mobility.
We may not realize just how much we rely on our knees for everything day-to-day — at least not until we start feeling pain there which gets in the way.
The good news is that stem cell therapy is now being used to heal knee pain. Read on to find out more about this safe alternative to surgery.
What are Stem Cells and Where are they Found?
Stem cells are considered cellular building blocks that are mainly found in bone marrow and fat. They can reproduce on their own without limit in living tissue and thereby replenish lost tissue. With every division, the new cells that form can morph into another type of cell.
Stem cells exist in the blastocyst (embryos that are 3-5 days old) and are the basis for every other type of cell in the body at this phase. This is why, for some stem cell treatments, physicians may use embryo cells.
As far as regeneration of stem cells go, sometimes they do this naturally in the body, and sometimes they do not. Scientists do have the technology to induce replication.
One of the benefits of treating something like knee pain with stem cells is that it comes from the patient's own body, which means that there's no chance of rejection. So, we can take our own stem cells and transfer them to other areas, which is not only safe but also ethical.
What is Stem Cell Therapy in La Quinta?
Stem cell therapy (SCT) is a relatively new means of treating various disorders using stem cells.
These are the basic cells that form all different parts of our bodies. This may be done via a person-to-person transplant if, for instance, the person needing the cells is missing healthy cells — for instance, bone marrow stem cells for those with leukemia.
Some examples of problems that may be cured by SCT include neurological problems, organ replacement or even insulin production. Diseases like osteoarthritis, stroke, heart failure, and even renal failure, which are ongoing especially in the aging population, have the potential to be cured by stem cell therapy.
How does Stem Cell Therapy Work for Knees in La Quinta?
More and more people are getting knee replacement surgery today than ever, but the truth is that, while knee replacement therapy may be the only option for people with very severe pain, it is likely not necessary for everyone who gets it — at least, according to one study, more than a third of knee surgeries are likely unnecessary.
In the past, knee pain from injury, arthritis or general wear and tear needed to be cured by surgery, and often this would involve a painful and invasive replacement surgery (total knee replacement). Today it is possible for some to skip the surgery and implant stem cells to regrow damaged tissues such as cartilage, which is a non-invasive and fast way of successfully reducing both inflammation and pain.
For some disorders, doctors will take the cells from a donor, but for knee therapy, the treatment requires cells from a person's own body. This means that there is little chance of rejection or other complications resulting from the fact that it is donor material. Recovery time for stem cell therapy is minimal compared to the months it can take to recover from knee replacement surgery.
How does Stem Cell Therapy Help with Knee Pain?
Stem cell therapy is beneficial in helping with various types of pain, especially that which is caused by osteoarthritis, the most common source of chronic, incurable knee pain. As osteoarthritis is characterized by wearing of the cartilage, the pain is ongoing and gets worse. Stem cell therapy helps with osteoarthritic knee pain not only in its potential to restore cartilage and protect bone, but it also can be an anti-inflammatory agent.
Though research is still underway to test how effective this treatment is, so far it has offered effective relief for knee pain without the invasive and expensive costs associated with surgery.
Is Stem Cell Therapy a Good Alternative to Surgery for Knee Problems?
Chronic knee pain can be debilitating as it impacts day-to-day mobility, but when this pain gets really bad, sometimes surgery is the only solution. Surgery not only has the potential to be expensive, it has a long recovery time, is generally traumatic, and may also involve the need for extensive physical therapy as well as potentially harmful prescription drugs.
When stem cell therapy is used, it can help ease the pain and mean less medication. Stem cell therapy offers an alternative to pain relief and can improve the quality of the cartilage without hospitalization.
Using stem cells is a great alternative because the cells actually repair tissue themselves. There's no need to go into the bone and dig around, possibly leading to more damage. Knee replacement therapy, in particular, is complex and difficult.
For those battling chronic knee pain, stem cell therapy is an alternative solution that just makes sense because, for instance, you can skip the long recovery from surgery as well as the associated physical therapy.
Using stem cell therapy for knee pain is one of the areas that has the most research and is one of the safest applications of this new technology. While it's still never 100% guaranteed, the research is promising and side effects are very rare, especially when collected from the person undergoing the treatment, rather than a separate donor.

Hello hello!
Well, I have finally had the time to sit down and get out an update on my trip to South Sudan. I have been finishing up my first semester at seminary. That went really well. I wrote over 110 pages of material for research papers. It's nice to be done.
My trip was a great success. I guess I will give the basic overview (click here for pictures) and then maybe share a few thoughts.
It took about a day and a half to fly from Charlotte to Kampala, Uganda. I had a sizable layover in London so I got out of the airport and was able to see some of the city. Once I got to Kampala I met up with the folks from Far Reaching Ministries and Calvary Chapel Kampala. I had to wait there for about three days for my flight to the bible college in Nimule. That ended up being a really good thing, though, because I was able to visit the church and bible college in Kampala. I also was able to spend a lot of time with the staff. This turned out to be a great learning experience.
My flight into South Sudan was great. The view from the air was really helpful to get a big picture view of northern Uganda and South Sudan. We were in a pretty small plane and never went above about 5000 feet so the view was really good. It was about a 1.5 hour flight from the airport in Uganda to the dirt airstrip in Nimule.
Upon my arrival I was met by staff of the school. We dropped off my stuff and took a little tour of the town. Nimule was a really interesting place. It is right on the border of Uganda so it has all the benefits and drawbacks of the through traffic. During the war most of the people fled into Uganda to escape the violence, but since the peace treaty a lot of people and money have been coming back into the area. There are a couple thousand people living there now.
There is still no electricity, running water, plumbing of any kind, mail, telephones, or any of the things a westerner would find as "normal" for a town that size. Everyone lives in small round huts with mud wall and grass roofs. The primary source of food is subsistence farming. There are some business springing up along the road that sell second hand clothes and food for through travelers. Money has also brought in the typical problems: corruption, prostitution, and alcoholism. The war has shielded them from the AIDS pandemic, but that too is becoming a problem.
For the next two weeks I taught through the books of Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon. This took up about 4-5 hours of every week day. In the time off I got to spend a lot of time with the students. Of the 18 students, most were Sudanese refugees that had come from Uganda to go to school. They were hoping to come back to Sudan as pastors and missionaries. The rest were going to be chaplains in the Sudanese People's Liberation Army, the military of South Sudan. The class size was much smaller than usual because there were not as many chaplains in the program.
Everyone in South Sudan is there because they have survived incredible hardship. Every single person is a survivor story. I got a chance to talk to one student, Peter, about his life. When he was about seven years old he took his families cows out to graze. This was an everyday thing for him. While out grazing his family's cattle his village was attacked by military from the north. He and some other boys ran away and never went back.
For three months they traveled on foot to Ethiopia. He lived in a refugee camp for a few years before trouble reached Ethiopia as well. He then walked to Kenya and lived in refugee camps there. At age 14 he joined the SPLA, but was soon wounded in combat and went back to Kenya. During his time in refugee camps he was given a weekly food ration every two weeks. The rest of the time he had to either go hungry or find food elsewhere. A lot of people died.
When he was 22 he was chosen in a lottery to move to the US with refugee status. He lived in Virginia, got his citizenship, and then moved back to Sudan. He hopes to start a Christian elementary school in his home village.
These kinds of stories were actually very common. The thing that struck me the most in all of this was that these people were generally very cheerful and optimistic. The normal hardships that the south Sudanese have endured go far beyond the normal hardships of anyone in the US, but they seemed to bear it quite differently. They had strong faith in God and a strong hope in their spiritual and physical futures. This was very inspiring.
The Bible College is filling a very real need for the region. Most of the people in South Sudan, Uganda, Kenya, and the neighboring countries describe themselves as Christians. Even so, there is still very little opportunity for Christians to get strong training for ministry. The result is that many destructive Christian cults have been able to take root. Western groups, such as Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, and prosperity teachers, have been able to come in and cause a lot of confusion and grief. Prosperity teaching in particular is causing great damage.
What is even more tragic is the form that local cult groups take. The Lord's Resistance Army has been waging a civil war in northern Uganda for the 20 years. This has spilled into Sudan as well. This movement is led by Joseph Kony who claims to be a spirit medium sent by God to establish a Christian government in Uganda. The LRA is notorious for its use of child soldiers, and has a massive record of brutality.
These groups have grown out of the doctrinal vacuum in Christianity that can only be filled by solid, Spirit led, Biblical teaching. Calvary Chapel has three bible colleges in the area, in Uganda, Nairobi, and Nimule.
It was a great opportunity for me to be able to help with the work in South Sudan. It is my hope to be more involved with this kind of work in Africa and elsewhere. Thank you so much for your help in making this trip possible. It literally could not have happened without outside support. Please continue to pray for the believers in this part of the world. Thanks!
Peace love and joy,
Raymond Morehouse
