NAHAL OZ - It was supposed to be a vacation. Three days of nothing but rest and fun: meetings with friends who have been terribly missed, some relaxing time at the pool, happy dinner gatherings that start before sunset and end long after midnight. Instead, it was a tense weekend that served as a reminder of the concerning and unstable reality on Israel's border with the Gaza Strip – and the heavy price people on both sides of that border pay for the decisions made by their leaders.
My wife and I, two Israelis who have been living in Washington since last spring, finally arrived last Friday for a much-anticipated visit to our former and future home: Kibbutz Nahal Oz, in southern Israel. Nahal Oz is located less than a mile from the Strip, and is technically the closest place in Israel to Gaza City.
The devastation caused to Gaza by the war in the summer of 2014 between Israel and Hamas is still clearly and easily visible from the outskirts of our kibbutz. The border fence – the scene of massive demonstrations in recent months, in which dozens of Palestinians have been shot dead by the Israel Defense Forces and thousands have been injured – is about as close to the kibbutz as Capitol Hill is to the Washington Memorial.
We chose to make the kibbutz our home after Operation Protective Edge exactly four years ago, during which Nahal Oz was officially the most bombarded place in Israel. Its proximity to populated areas of Gaza made it an easy target for mortar-shell fire.
Members of the kibbutz suffered a crisis after a Hamas mortar shell, shot during the last days of the war, killed a 4-year-old boy, Daniel Tragerman, who was running for shelter with his family. When a warning siren goes off in Nahal Oz, you have five seconds (though officially its seven) to reach a shelter, but many times, the timespan between the siren and the explosion of the shell can be less – even just two or three seconds.
We lived in Nahal Oz for almost three years after the end of that war, and despite risks that come with the surroundings, we were happy. We moved there out of ideological reasons, but stayed for selfish ones, mostly the friends we discovered and the beautiful nature we were surrounded by. We loved living in Nahal Oz so much that we even had our wedding there in 2016. Then, in mid 2017, we left for Washington D.C., after I accepted the job of Haaretz's correspondent in the American capital. Career-wise, it was an easy decision to make, but personally, it was heartbreaking. We traded the comforts of a small community for the loneliness and competitiveness that comes with life in a political metropolis. And as enjoyable as Washington is (especially for journalists), we've missed the kibbutz every day since our relocation. That's why, when we had a chance to visit this past weekend, we didn't hesitate.
We knew the situation was somewhat tense – there have been dozens of fires around the kibbutz lately, set by incendiary devices such as kites and balloons launched from Gaza, and some of the deadliest demonstrations along the border fence took place not far from Nahal Oz – but our friends assured us that the last few days before our arrival had been relatively calm.
When we arrived on Friday afternoon, that assessment of the situation seemed to be accurate. It was painful to see the massive damage caused to the kibbutz fields by the flaming kites, but inside the kibbutz itself, things were normal. In fact, ever since we left last year, the kibbutz has undergone a demographic "renaissance" and an investment in infrastructure: Eight new homes have been built, and they are all already populated by new families – no small feat for a community overlooking Gaza. Another neighborhood of 12 houses is being planned these days. The entrance to the kibbutz, which was ugly and scarred by the war when we moved there, has been renovated and a new playground for children is in the final stages of construction.
During our time in D.C., whenever we spoke with friends from the kibbutz, they told us that while things have been going well in Nahal Oz, it is increasingly clear that the situation in Gaza is just as miserable today as it was at the end of the 2014 war. Just about everyone in the region – from Israel and Egypt to the Palestinian Authority and of course Hamas, has a share of the blame, but the price for unwise and unhelpful policies initiated by local and world powers, is mostly paid by the population of the Strip.
Coincidentally, that's exactly what happened when we arrived on Friday. While the first few hours, in which we had dinner with our friends and strolled through the kibbutz, were quiet and pleasant, things began to change at night, when Hamas launched a barrage of more than 30 rockets and mortars at communities in the border area. At least two fell in the vicinity of Nahal Oz. The IDF bombed more than 100 targets in Gaza, in what was described in the Israeli media as the largest airstrike there in four years. For us, this mostly meant a lot of extremely loud noises throughout the night – from sirens to supersonic booms.
We were hosted that night by friends who have two "safe rooms" in their house. A "safe room" is built of fortified concrete that provides shelter from mortars and missiles. Every house in Nahal Oz has at least one such room (when we lived there, we made ours into the bedroom, in order to avoid frantically running there whenever a siren is sounded in the middle of the night). On Friday night and then for most of Saturday, we had to run to the safe rooms at least a dozen times, probably more. At some point during the day, we just stopped counting.
For readers who find it hard to imagine the situation, here is what it looks like: It's early afternoon on Saturday and a group of eight people are in a family's living room, eating, drinking, bringing up memories, laughing. Suddenly there is a warning siren. Within less than second, everyone gets up and runs to one of the safe rooms. At the same time, the sound of an explosion is heard. A minute passes. Sometimes, another siren is immediately heard. But in most cases, 75 seconds later, everyone is back in the living room, checking their phones to see that other friends and neighbors are okay, or answering worried family members from other parts of the country who are calling and texting with questions about "the situation." Then, gradually, the conversation goes back to where it was – until the next time.
Saturday was the tensest day Nahal Oz had experienced since the end of Operation Protective Edge. Everyone we spoke to agreed that there had been some stressful days in the four years that passed – but "not like this one." The ironic joke we kept hearing for the rest of our stay was that we had "brought good luck from America" when we arrived there. We had plans to go to the pool and tour the burned fields, but both ideas were taken off the table as the severity of the situation became clear. Instead, we stayed indoors for most of the day, and even when we did walk a bit around the kibbutz, it was always with one eye looking out for the nearest public shelter, in case another siren was heard. Still, we had a good time. Being stuck in the same place with a group of friends for hours upon hours is actually fun when you haven't seen them for more than a year.
At some point in the afternoon, friends with a 2-year-old daughter decided to visit us at the house where we were staying. They didn't want to take the risk of being caught by a siren out in the open with their young girl, so instead of walking they took the car for what was supposed to be a two-minute drive from one neighborhood in the kibbutz to another. But unfortunately, during the two minutes they spent on the road, three sirens were heard. They had to stop the car twice, run outside carrying their daughter, lay on the ground and protect her with their own bodies. Luckily, the mortars landed outside the kibbutz itself, and they arrived safely. For their child, the whole thing felt somewhat like an adventure. But while we waited for them, we were worried sick.
Eventually, on Saturday night, things began to calm down. Israel and Hamas reached an unofficial cease-fire, with the help of Egypt and other international actors. Even avid followers of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have lost track of how many such ceasefires have been reached in recent years. Sometimes they hold for months. Usually, much less.
For the rest of our visit, life went back to normal. On Sunday, there were no sirens in the kibbutz. But the fires caused by the kites continued, and the IDF again retaliated from the air. It felt like the next round of violence was only a matter of time.
In the meantime, however, we were determined to have fun – which was what we had originally come for. That included watching the World Cup final with friends in the kibbutz's small pub. It was a happy evening – especially because France, the better team, won.
If a random person had passed by the pub and seen the locals enjoying the game with a cold beer and children and dogs running around – they would never have guessed what had happened in the kibbutz just a day earlier. That's part of the charm of Nahal Oz. But perhaps it's also an illusion. Things look normal at a certain moment, but that moment is always temporary, at least until a solution will be found for the far-from-normal situation in the Gaza Strip.
As I head back to Washington this week, I know that such a solution looks incredibly distant. In Gaza itself, as well as in Ramallah and in Jerusalem, there are no signs of the emergence of a creative, pragmatic and open-minded leadership that would be willing to take unpopular steps in order to improve the situation on the ground.
The Trump administration's peace team, led by Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt, has announced that it will focus on improving the situation in the Gaza Strip before unveiling its broader peace plan. If they do manage to make progress on rehabilitating Gaza, I know at least one group of people in Israel who will be overwhelmingly supportive of their efforts: my friends and neighbors in Nahal Oz. But unfortunately, it's hard to see the administration making any real progress with this goal, as long as regional leaders' top concern is to appear tough and uncompromising before the most extreme segments of their population – even if that means that other parts of the population will continue to suffer in between kite fires, aerial strikes and mortar shells.

National Mental Health Information Strategy
National Mental Health Information Strategy (pdf)
In September 2004 the Ministry of Health prepared a discussion document to review the availability, quality, role and use of information at all levels within the mental health sector. The summary of submissions was used to develop the structure and key objectives and activities in the National Mental Health Information Strategy.
The National Mental Health Information Strategy outlines priorities that will guide the development of national mental health information from 2005 to 2010 and signals a shift in emphasis from information collection to local and national use of mental health information.
The key objectives of the strategy, the Ministry of Health's first overarching information strategy for mental health services, are to ensure information-gathering across the sector is carried out in the most effective way to improve health outcomes for mental health consumers and to increase accountability for expenditure on mental health services.
The five-year strategy provides a strategic framework for mental health information and outlines priority areas to support current and future requirements for mental health information. The priority areas are:
Shift the focus from information collection to information use.
Minimise the cost of collecting information.
Increase opportunities for consumer input into clinical records.
Extend the coverage of mental health data to primary health care.
Support Māori goals for whānau ora.
Support information sharing amongst providers.
Use information as a quality improvement tool.
Use information for research and development.
Fill data gaps and improve quality data.

The article reviews the web site of the malnutrition Task Force, located at www.malnutritiontaskforce.org.uk.
The article explores the guide released by the British Association for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (BAPEN), which is full of information that can help nurses in preventing malnutrition among older people in hospitals.
This article looks at the role of the community nurse in assessing the nutritional status of patients with COPD and in integrating nutrition into the COPD care pathway.
The article reports that according to Professor Wisia Wedzicha the Shifting Paradigm in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management builds on a revised scientific consensus from the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD), which can reduce future risk of COPD.
Many people aged over 65 in acute hospitals have dementia. When older people are ill, they are at increased risk of malnourishment because of reduced appetite.


Is Oil Too Cheap for This Materials Company to Go it Alone?
Freeport-McMoRan Inc spent heavily to get into the oil business in 2013. But falling oil prices have taken a toll on this new business. Now Freeport is looking for partners so it can keep the drill bits turning in a key oil region. Is this good or bad for shareholders?
$20 billionIn 2013, Freeport purchased McMoRan Exploration Co. and Plains Exploration for $20 billion, including debt. With oil prices down roughly 50% since mid-2014, however, that price tag now looks a little rich. In fact, Freeport has already written off roughly $1.7 billion in goodwill related to the transaction and reduced the carrying value of its oil business by $3.7 billion -- both because of the steep drop in oil prices. And it's warned that more write offs are likely this year if oil prices don't rebound sharply.
On the operational side of things, the company has openly stated that it's pulling back on the exploration front in oil because it wants to "preserve resource value for the future." The plan is to trim the E&P budget by over 33%. In other words, it wants to wait until oil prices are higher before it drills for more black gold. Not a bad idea, but at the same time Freeport is looking for partners in the Gulf of Mexico to keep some activity happening. Those two facts seem at odds with each other.
Giving it awayTo be fair, partnering up in the oil business isn't new. Companies sell minority stakes and team up in development projects all the time to help offset costs. Freeport did exactly this at the Lucius project, where it holds a 25% stake in the project today. Partners on this oil play includeAnadarko Petroleum Corporation, Apache Corporation, and ExxonMobil, among others. Togetherthis partnership helped to fund roughly four years worth of costs before any oil was brought out of the ground.
That time lag is exactly why companies look for partners. Any one of them might have struggled to come up with the cash, but together the bill isn't as onerous. And, assuming everything works as planned, all of the partners get to benefit.
The interesting thing is that Freeport owns 100% of the operating rights for itsHolstein Deep, Marlin, Dorado, King, and Horn Mountain Gulf of Mexico projects. These are all at various stages of development, but Freeport can maintain control of them and still gain valuable access to the money it needs to keep drilling by selling minority stakes. And based on the partners it has at Lucius, it's got a deep Rolodex to pick from.
There's notable value there, too, since Freeport's average cash cost to produce a barrel of oil in the Gulf of Mexico was roughly $16 last year. In other words, would-be partners can still potentially make money even at today's low oil prices, if costs at its in-development plays track to its existing production. In an industry that's seen major players struggle to replace reserves, linking up with Freeport would seem an awfully enticing option.
Freeport is still discussing its options with potential partners, but it can use the help.As noted, development costs can be a material drag on a company's finances and can last for years something that Freeport can ill afford since the swift drop in the price of oil just added to the price weakness the company has been suffering through in other core businesses in recent years, notably copper and gold.
Doing what it takesSo Freeport is really doing what it takes to keep advancing its best opportunities. And if that means giving away some upside to keep drilling then so be it. In fact, it would probably be worse for the company to simply stop drilling since big projects can take years to get up and running. Indeed, there's no way to predict where the oil markets will be in a few years, let alone six months, but you can guarantee that Freeport's production won't grow if it stops developing new projects.
With the company's finances crimped by low commodity prices in its mining business as well as oil, taking on partners is probably the best course of action. And it's been rough for Freeport of late. So far it's pulled back from previously stated debt reduction goals, trimmed spending drastically, and cut its dividend by over 80%. These are aggressive measures to keep the business going today so it can survive this commodity rough patch. In fact, taking on a partner to keep key oil projects moving doesn't seem as grave an issue when compared to that massive dividend cut.
At the end of the day, the drop in oil has Freeport McMoRan retrenching. Looking for partners in the Gulf of Mexico is part of this. However, it should be viewed as a long-term positive even though it means giving away some upside from the company's best projects. The other option, not drilling at all, would probably lead to worse outcomes for shareholders.

KG GCVOThe Society is an unincorporated body bound by a constitution and managed by an Executive Committee elected annually at the AGM, which takes place each year close to the 2nd of October. Also elected annually at the AGM are the Society's President and Vice Presidents. The holders of these offices are members of the Society who have given exceptional service to the Society over many years and although these rôles do not attract specific responsibilities, some of the holders still provide invaluable service to the Society.
The Society is also very proud to have royal patronage, which was granted over a quarter of a century ago, and it is particularly poignant that the Patron bears the same first name and ducal title as Richard III – HRH Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester.
The Society has members all over the world, and certain geographical areas, such as North America and Australasia, are semi-autonomous. However, the whole is in the charge of the Executive which is based in the UK. Reporting to this Committee (hereinafter called the Executive) are a number of standing committees and occasional working parties. Linked to all of these are the Branches and Groups which provide activities for members at a more 'grass roots' level, and which also report to the Executive. The Executive Committee is the principal governing body of the Society, and according to the Constitution, it may have 15 elected members and a further six co-opted as required.
Other activities undertaken by members of the Executive include liaison with the village of Fotheringhay and its church, with its very strong Ricardian connections; trustees of the Richard III & Yorkist History Trust, the charity arm of the society; and with the Ricardian Churches Restoration Fund (RCRF), which raises money to assist the five churches known to have been connected with Richard III.
At the head of the Executive is the Chairman. As well as chairing meetings, he also plays an active role in many ways, especially as a member of several standing committees. Alongside him, there are a Secretary and a Treasurer. The former acts as a central point of liaison between the Society, the Executive, the membership and the outside world, whilst the rôle of the Treasurer is that which might be found in any similar society - he advises on fiscal matters and keeps the books.
The Business Manager looks after the publication and distribution of the Society's journals.
The Research Committee which is a group of academics and other interested parties who meet under the chairmanship of the Research Officer and whose rôle is to encourage research in Richard III and the later Middle Ages, to encourage the development of research groups within the Society and to develop the research programme of the Society.
The Ways and Means Sub-Committee serves to review Society projects, to assess their feasibility and possible cost implications. It is an advisory body and reports back to the Executive which then makes decision based on the W&M report.
The Education Working Party has been re-constituted to examine how the Society can assist Schools in the awareness of King Richard III and the Wars of the Roses in the pre-Tudor period.
The Bulletin Editorial Committee produces the Bulletin, the quarterly magazine of the Society. This publication is the key tool for communicating with the membership and, as well as updating them on all Society activities, provides a forum for discussion, news of related medieval topics and is a publication to which less experienced historians can contribute articles.
The Constitution and Governance Working Party which has been formed to review the Society's Constitution and Governance.
In addition to the above there are many other members of the Society who generously donate their time to support the full range of services to the wider membership and the Executive would like to take this opportunity of acknowledging their important contribution. They are active in the fields of research, publications, visits, sales, fund raising and event administration.
This may seem like a lot of bureaucracy for a Society of this size, but it has proved necessary, and its justification may be seen in what the Society has achieved – and what it is continuing to achieve – under its stated aims of promoting awareness of the life and times of Richard III.
Peter joined the Society in the 1960s and served on the Executive Committee from 1970 until 2001. He was research officer for the same period. Peter chairs the Ways and Means Sub-Committee.
Carolyn has been a member of the Society since the 1960's and served on the Executive Committee from 1965 to 2001. She was Librarian from 1970 to 2001 and now acts as Library Coordinator, reporting to the Executive through the Secretary.
John is a long-standing member of the Yorkshire Branch, where he served as chairman for many years.

Jonathan has been an active member of the US Branch for many years.
Rob is chairman/secretary of the New Zealand Branch.
Elizabeth is a former editor of the Bulletin and was secretary of the Society for many years.
Phil was Chairman of the London and Home Counties Branch from 1981 until he relinquished the post on his appointment as Chairman in 2002. He was elected to the Committee in 1995.
Dave served as Secretary of the Society along with his wife Sue from 2009 to 2017. He stood down from the Committee in 2017 and was re-elected in 2018. He is currently chair of the Constitution Working Party. He was elected Deputy Chair for 2018/19.
Sue joined the committee in April 2018, taking over from Sue Wells as Secretary.
Sarah joined the Executive Committee in September 2014 and was formally elected to the Committee as Treasurer in October 2014. Sarah stepped down in 2018, and was co-opted back onto the Committee until a new Treasurer is appointed.
Marlene was elected to the Executive Committee in September 2017.

The Times' college football preview comes out in Sunday's paper, and and it includes a profile I wrote about Georgia's star running back and Heisman contender, Knowshon Moreno.
Moreno took the state of Georgia, the Southeastern Conference and the nation by storm as a redshirt freshman last year and is a huge reason why the Bulldogs are at the top of most preseason rankings. As a result, he's been shoved into a spotlight that's probably a little brighter than he'd like it to be in some ways.
This month he appeared on the cover of ESPN The Magazine and Sports Illustrated, and the inevitable Herschel Walker comparisons won't stop coming. But despite all the individual praise, Moreno is not much for talking about himself, and does whatever he can to deflect credit to teammates and coaches – and off of himself. His high school coach, Steve Antonucci of Middletown (N.J.) South, said that was the way Moreno had always been. But as this video shows, Moreno is not exactly suffering from a shy streak.
Through my reporting I also got the sense that part of the reason for his tight-lipped interview style is Moreno – and his family – being protective of their privacy in the face of all the attention he's getting. They don't mind being cooperative, but they worry about it getting out of hand. That's certainly something I can understand and respect. It would be alarming to be a 21-year-old who everyone suddenly wants a piece of.
But his family and friends are all extremely proud of him. His grandmother and legal guardian, Mildred McQueen, makes sure that Georgia filters all her interview requests, and Georgia will not give out her phone number. Once you meet her, however, she is very nice and welcoming. And if she entrusts her cellphone number to you, you learn the depths of her pride when you call – her ring is the Bulldogs' fight song.
Everybody's got them. And most of us are embarrassed by them. Senior pictures. At least Moreno's are only two years old, so not much harm here.
The front of Moreno's grandmother's home, in Belford, N.J. Grandma's a proud lady.
Moreno and Antonucci meet Reggie Bush, and a trophy that Moreno might become better acquainted with at a later date.
Mrs. McQueen's kitchen wall is home to all kinds of memorabilia from Moreno's career.
Moreno accepts an award with Antonucci. He's got a few of those.

Georgia games often draw large groups of Moreno's friends and family.

Middletown South has a strong tradition, and Moreno's name can be found on three of those All-State lists in the background.
Moreno has been striking a pose since back when he had long cornrows.
He's also been making defenders look foolish.
statements will easily be dismissed.

I got a little choked up to discover this is the same Knowshon that was best buds with my son Eric and their other best bud DJ from Atlantic Hlnds when they were around 8 or 9. We lost touch after moving around a bit. I am so amazed at what he's accomplished!

Pixar continues to enjoy great success at the box office, as evidenced by the record-breaking opening this past summer for the critically-acclaimed Incredibles 2. The action-adventure ended up earning more than $1.2 billion worldwide. The next release from Pixar will be Toy Story 4.
Though Toy Story 3 appeared to wrap up the series nicely back in 2010, Toy Story 4 will reportedly be a romantic comedy that will stand apart from the first three installments. The delightful first teaser has now been released, featuring the familiar cast of characters, along with a couple of surprises. Here's everything we know about the film; watch the teaser below.
As far as we know, the story will still focus on Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks) and Bo Peep (voiced by Annie Potts). Woody and Buzz will search for Bo Peep after she becomes lost; Potts has confirmed that she has a major role in the comedy.
Tom Hanks (as Woody), Tim Allen (as Buzz Lightyear) and Annie Potts (as Bo Peep) are confirmed for the lead roles. The large supporting cast will reportedly include Joan Cusack (as Jessie), Blake Clark (as Slinky Dog), Wallace Shawn (as Rex), John Ratzenberger (as Hamm), Estelle Harris (as Mrs. Potato Head) and Kristen Schaal (as Trixie).
Josh Cooley (Cars, Inside Out, Pixar short George & A.J.) was initially named as co-director and then as the solo director in July 2017.
Disney/Pixar will release Toy Story 4 in theaters everywhere on June 21, 2019.

From the Weekend
Posted by Andy Durham on March 20, 2006 at 8:45 pm under Uncategorized | 3 Comments to Read
We got to see a large amount of basketball this past weekend and what about our teams that made the sweet 16 of the NCAA and what happened to our boys that came marching home and saw their seasons and some careers come to a close. Is their really closure in basketball or even in sports all-together if you stop and think about it? How many of you would give your left arm just to keep shooting with your right hook if it meant you could play the games forever? If you're a lefty just switch hands. I don't intend to ever quit playing some form of ball or recreation activity. I was out there bouncing the ball on Sunday afternoon at General Greene Elementary and that's where I feel most comfortable. It doesn't matter which court I am playing on, lifers like me need to be outside and inside if the lane opens up.
I don't get my kicks watching games on TV but it's good to catch up on our ACC boys on occasion. Duke is right where they wanted to be. Back in the hunt for another national title and Coach K is coaching and selling cars. Mr. Clark Early, one our local residents drove the bus for all of Coach K's family when they were in Greensboro a couple of years back and he said Mickie and all the kids were really nice people, and after he called them to make sure they sent him his money they sent along a very sweet tip to go along with his required payment. The Duke fans love JJ Redick and Sheldon Williams and let's hope for the Blue Devils sake that the dynamic duo can carry Duke to the top.
Boston College is on the way to the sweet sixteen and I haven't accepted these characters into my personal ACC universe quite yet. I have not latched on to these BC Cats or Eagles as they are affectionately known to their fans. To me BC does not respect the ACC. They have come into the conference like they own the place. BC needs to pay their dues before they start earning my respect. The ACC is sort of a basketball Nirvana and you don't gain total acceptance automatically, you have to prove yourself over a period of time.
As for the ACC, I've been on this beat for too many years and I will tell you how things are going to be done around here.
North Carolina is finished but I take off my imaginary hat to Roy Williams. I loved how Roy got into it and tossed that chair on Sunday. The man has a passion for the game and he is into it and his focus is on nothing else. The game is life or death to Williams and that's the way it should be. I have the utmost respect for Williams and the job he and his Heels did this year. Coach K has the same type of passion for the game. These guys are very intense and that's what the fans are looking for. It's like you're playing the game and it has to mean something. As for Herb Sendeck, the Wolfpack doesn't generate excitement for the N.C. State fans these days. I didn't even know State was playing Texas on Sunday and it's because the State fans don't have faith in the Red and White anymore. They won on Friday, but you just knew the suffering would be over soon. This team is going nowhere. What about next year? Repeat that line and play back the tape of this year, the year before that and so on. The only real team N.C. State had was back in 1974 and Norm Sloan is dead and DT and Tommy B. and Monte T. can't suit up again. Rick Barnes, Kelvin Sampson, Tubby Smith, Rick Pitino, Jim Harrick Sr./Jr., Lou Pucillo, Steve Warren, the slick guy who used to coach at UCLA who now thinks he's slick on ESPN(Steve Lavin). Bring 'em on.
We saw Torian Green, son of Sidney Green(formerly of the Orlando Magic), playing with the Florida Gators during the NCAA's. Torian played at the Greensboro Coliseum with the Orlando AAU team for the 10 and Under National Championship back in the early 90's against our own Greensboro Gaters team coached by Freddy Johnson. Chris Gaynor was playing for Winthrop(nearly knocked off Tennessee) on TV and Chris played local AAU for the team with Chris Paul out of Winston- Salem.(5 State championships and one national title for the WS AAU team) Gaynor played for the Mount Tabor Spartans back in high school.
Our local AAU teams were in full action this past weekend and from what I was seeing in the News and Record, Brandon Pennix and his Gaters 14 and Under team won the Super Regional. Pennix is a tall lean youngster and he has a future as a Dudley Panther and from what I have been hearing over the years from Justin Smith, Jack Cassels, and Sneaky Williamson this Pennix kid could be going places. Vic Sapp does a super job with all the AAU work and he is to be commended along with all his coaches and volunteers. Walter Faye was one of those local coaches and he is dad to Whit Holcombe-Faye and Travis Holcombe-Faye two former local hoops stars.
In baseball I had a word with Kevin Moore and he tells me all is well at Grimsley and that the Whirlies are ready to make a drive toward the top of the Metro 4-A. Alan Ashkinazy has the Whirlies pumped up and that means you better get over to the Whirlies home field this week and check them out. Home games for Grimsley on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday this week. Kevin says Lester Rivenbark, Dusty Shutt, and Clint Moore are fitting in just fine with the Whirlies and that all 3 might see time on the mound before this year's over. Scouts are in attendance at all the Whirlies games. We mentioned Addison Johnson of North Forsyth earlier this season and he is one of the solid NF Vikings but the real stud might be John Ackely. The watch is out on Ackely. He has all the tools according to Kevin. Ackely's dad, John Ackley Sr. is now working Prep Stars Baseball and the watch is out on Prep Stars too. Keep an eye on the Ackelys and the Moores and the Whirlies and the NF Vikings.
Keep an eye on Greensborosports.com this week too and we will begin our local wrestling coverage on Tuesday. We will also highlight the recent Saturday Night's Main Event.

Adopting Agile-Waterfall Hybrid Model and Best Practices for Building Health-Tech
Cloud Migration Strategy for Healthcare
The Ultimate Guide to Telehealth Solutions
Published by Amol at August 5, 2022

The Impact Of The Covid-19 Pandemic On Telehealth Utilization
Telemedicine, or telehealth, is a new era of digital healthcare ushered in by technology, allowing medical professionals to treat their patients regardless of the distance between them.
Noticeable trends that drove healthcare during this period include disruptive technologies such as:
Digital therapeutics for mental health and sleep issues
Telepsychiatry to address mental health concerns
Decentralised clinical trials
Virtual care for concerns from vascular diseases to mental health
Real-world outcome analytics
Patient-education-driven services
On-demand healthcare worker staffing platforms., etc.
While the COVID-19 outbreak shed light on the existing gaps in healthcare, it was also responsible for one of the steepest evolutions in digital healthcare – telemedicine.
The lack of information about the COVID-19 virus and its effects also increased the demand for professional consultation from home, leading to a surge in online doctor consultations for even the most routine symptoms. Telemedicine app development was a crucial resource during this period to control the spread of this life-threatening disease through monitoring of patients, early detection, and prompt management of infected patients.
While there were basal levels of telemedicine available before the pandemic, it took a lot of "distance," to speak, to push this technology to the forefront. To put this into perspective, April 2020 recorded a 78x higher utilisation of telemedicine than February 2020. Although this steep curve has steadied since then, 2021 still recorded that telehealth use has increased by 38x.
Quality Outcomes for Telehealth Solutions
Healthcare, as a whole, has primarily been plagued by three major issues – quality, accessibility, and affordability. Incidentally, these are the primary avenues on which telemedicine thrives.
Doctors no longer have to worry about travel expenses, time, or physical barriers but can cater to a larger population, irrespective of location, socio-economic background, or disease.
With quality practitioners at their fingertips, patients and their caretakers no longer have to travel from clinic to clinic to reach specialists, as they can do so in the comforts of their homes. This has also significantly reduced the risk of self-medication and severity due to delayed diagnosis.
The veil of added privacy provided by telemedicine allows people to seek treatment for concerns they would otherwise ignore actively. This is solidified by the fact that online consultations have seen a 50% rise in specialities like psychiatry and a 30% in substance abuse treatment due to the added privacy offered. Additionally, they have significantly increased mental health patients' retention rates.
Telehealth solutions provide the easiest screening methods – which can come in handy during pandemics like COVID-19. This not only reduces infection rates but also reduces the burden on healthcare infrastructure.
While we believe that these might just be some aspects that facilitate the Healthcare experience, researchers have gone ahead and validated that the quality of a teleconsultation is not inferior to the quality of a face-to-face visit.
Challenges of building telehealth solutions
The post-pandemic future of Telehealth promises to explore a renewed quality in Standard of Care. This also allows space for expansion of other verticals, providing a holistic experience to the patient.
Imagine a single user interface leading you through your journey from symptom-based research to achieving the final medicines at home. However, telehealth solutions still have miles to go and acres to conquer.
a) Data Encryption
b) HIPAA Compliance
c) EMR integration for overall patient care
d) Physician user experience
A lack of a centralised pipeline for patient data can be a hurdle in delivering optimal diagnoses and prognoses for patients. And even if the data is available, data security poses a challenge yet to be addressed. Data encryption in the health industry is vital. The medical data is translated into a system that makes it difficult to decrypt by unauthorised persons. If left unencrypted, patient data is no longer confidential – posing a massive breach of privacy. Therefore, establishing a solution that protects this data from potential attacks like phishing scams, rogue employees, insider attachments, etc., while still allowing easy decryption is a challenge to be addressed.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was passed in 1996 to protect individual health information. Under HIPAA, organizations that handle protected health information (PHI) must comply with privacy and security requirements and may incur fines if they don't. While these rules apply to any organization that handles PHI, telemedicine companies have unique concerns with HIPPA compliance. In order to keep their patients safe and ensure patient privacy, telehealth providers need to make sure they take the necessary steps to assure compliance with HIPAA regulations.
EMR integration solutions unify all clinical content, including images, photos, reports, and other medical paraphernalia, to establish a complete electronic patient record. However, there is still a lack of a central pipeline that combines all the data of a patient – including medical history, patient history and the data collected by medical devices – including wearable tech.
Since tech solutions are typically built by outsiders, so to speak, who usually have little to no experience working in medicine as a whole, the product that is developed may be clunky, and even difficult to use for physicians and healthcare staff that may not be as familiar with evolving tech. This holds true even for patients; therefore, a healthy user experience is a high priority for telemedicine apps.
Salient features of telemedicine
a) PAAS video conferencing
PAAS, or platform as a service market, currently stands at US$ 4.3 billion. Market surveys conducted by Persistence Market Research project a 3X rise in valuation by the end of the decade. PAAS became a vital part of global businesses in the pandemic era. Since video conferencing makes the interaction between the patient and the doctor possible, it is viewed as the new version of home visits.
b) Audio conferencing
Audio consultation allows patients to discuss urgent medical concerns over the phone without fear of privacy breaches.
c) HIPAA compliance data storage
HIPAA compliance is key to medical data integrity. These privacy rules clarify how and when authorised persons can access a person's health information.
d) Text messaging
Text messaging is an excellent tool for sending appointment reminders to patients. Appointments can be cancelled and rescheduled by text, thereby reducing no-show patients.
Technological requirements for better telehealth Solutions
Telemedicine cannot function properly without proper technological infrastructure and can be vital in patients' overall treatment and care. The recent coronavirus pandemic underlined the need for better communication avenues through the internet.
Some of the basic requirements include:
a) High-level integration design
Since a telemedicine app solution would need to integrate data from many places such as Electronic Health Records, Health Information Exchange, Laboratory Information systems, and even tech wearables that measure preliminary body parameters, it is necessary that the solution architecture is built on HLD, to ensure smooth deliveries and a healthy UI/UX experience.
b) Preliminary HIPAA-compliant software architecture design
HIPAA compliance ensures the protection and security of protected health information. Therefore, solution architecture must be HIPAA compliant since its preliminary stage to avoid scalability issues if incorporated later.
c) Tech stack selection
For a telemedicine app, it is imperative to have technologies that are able to work with various integrations, favourable UI/UX, and support different databases at the same time. The tech stack chosen should also have the ability to improve scalability and decrease development efforts.
d) Identification of needed software licenses
For a telemedicine app, certain avenues are a given. One is live video chats, and others such as PM (Practice Management) software, which can dramatically increase the cost of MVP developments. Therefore, identification of the required software licenses during the development phase itself can help ideate a better strategy for app development.
The technology stacks to develop a telemedicine platform
The use of telemedicine has seen a surge across the globe. With growing revenue factoring into the equation, the stakes are high. Telemedicine app development is slated to see rapid growth. Therefore, the tech stacks chosen to develop a telemedicine platform should allow for such growth. For example:
Choosing backend frameworks or PHP that have ready-made integrations and powerful environments to automate tasks
Choosing frontend frameworks like React Native that can decrease development efforts and improve scalability while allowing faster, smoother work that takes up much less cached space
Choosing the correct APIs to improve communications from the app, such as push notifications or SMS/Phone verification, allows for a more intelligent user experience.
Ensuring that the payment tech chosen for the app is available globally
Choosing databases and clouds that suit the tech solution but are also flexible with integration with various platforms
Enabling the translation of data through technologies like AI and NP to improve EHR integration

\section{Introduction}
In this work we present a tool to model the ionization caused by cosmic rays (CRs) as a complementary tracer to gamma ray observations.
CRs are deflected by interstellar magnetic fields due to their charge and thus loose all the information about their origin. To observe cosmic rays in the vicinity of their sources one therefore relies on
tracers of cosmic rays. The most commonly known are gamma rays produced in cosmic ray interactions with matter or radiation fields. Since the most dominant species of CRs are protons the sources of cosmic ray protons are the dominant sources of cosmic rays. Protons prodcue gamma-rays in inelastic proton proton interactions via the production and subsequent decay of
neutral pions. Therefore, molecular clouds in the vicinity of cosmic ray sources act as barometers for the local cosmic ray flux (dependning on the mass and distance to the molecular cloud). In fact observations in high and
very high energy gamma rays revealed proton acceleration in supernova remnants interacting with molecular clouds \cite{fermi, agile}.
In this work we investigate a CR tracer in molecular clouds complementary to gamma rays. Here we investigate the ionisation rate of CR potons and electrons. In contrast to the gamma ray emission, the ionisation
rate is a single quantity integrated over the whole CR spectrum. Therefore, the ionisation rate does not contain direct information on the underlying CR proton spectrum.
However, in contrast to gamma-ray emission, the ionization rate level is not limited to proton energies above 280 MeV being produced mainly by lower energies CRs. Therefore cosmic ray ionisation measurements allow to access the low energy end of the cosmic ray proton
spectrum in interstellar space, offering a unique possibility to measure energies below the pion production threshold.

Here we present the basic principles that determine the ionisation rate caused by cosmic rays.
With respect to previous works on this subject, we improved the calculations in two aspects: i) we use the relativistic differential cross section and ii) we include a self-consistent calculation of ionization due to secondary electrons. The use of differetial
cross sections allows a selfconsistent calculation of the secondary ionizations.
The calculations presented here have been implemented in a code which is available online (http://crime.in2p3.fr/) and free available for the scientific community.
The online tool calculates the ionisation rate for a given cosmic ray proton and/or electron spectrum and provides some basic informations such as the most ionizing energies of the considered CR spectrum.

\section{Cross sections, secondary ionisations and propagation}
In the following section we briefly summarize the ionisation cross sections used in our code CRIME (Cosmic Ray Interactions In Molecular Environments).
In addition we derive a general expression describing the secondary ionisations. Figure~\ref{fig1} shows the cross section
and secondary ionisations for molecular hydrogen. Finally we shortly adress the issue of cosmic ray propagation into a molecular cloud. These section describes the building blocks of the CRIME online tool.

\subsection{Electron cross section}
We use the relativistic binary-encounter-dipole model for the differential ionization cross section of electrons. The relativistic differental cross
section is than given (eq. 19 \cite{kim2000}) as:

\begin{align}
\label{kim_diff}
 \left( \frac{d\sigma}{dW} \right) = &\frac{4\pi a_0^2 \alpha^4 N}{(\beta_t^2 + \beta_u^2 + \beta_b^2)2b'} \nonumber\\
                                     & \left\{ \frac{N_i/N-2}{t+1} \left( \frac{1}{w+1} + \frac{1}{t-w} \right) \frac{1+2t'}{(1+t'/2)^2} \right.  \nonumber\\
                                     &+ \left. [2-(N_i/N)] \left[ \frac{1}{(w+1)^2} + \frac{1}{(t-w)^2} + \frac{b'^2}{(1+t'/2)^2}\right] \right.  \nonumber\\
                                     &+ \left. \frac{1}{N(w+1)} \frac{df}{dw} \left[ ln \left( \frac{\beta_t^2}{1-\beta_t^2} \right) -\beta_t^2 - ln(2b') \right] \right\}
\end{align}

Here $w=W/I$ and $t=T/I$ are the energies in units of the ionization potential
where $T$ is the energy of the primary electron and $W$ the energy of the secondary electron.
$t_p=T/m$, $b_p=B/m$ and $u_p=U/m$ are the primary energy, binding energy (ionization potential) and average orbital kinetic
energy of an electron in natural units.

\begin{align}
 t'=T/mc^2 \,\,\, , \beta_t^2 = 1- \frac{1}{(1+t')^2} \\
 b'=B/mc^2 \,\,\, , \beta_b^2 = 1- \frac{1}{(1+b')^2}\\
 u'=U/mc^2 \,\,\, , \beta_u^2 = 1- \frac{1}{(1+u')^2}
\end{align}

The dipole oscillator strength $\frac{df}{dw}$ depends on the target material and can be approximated as a power law series for the materials under consideration.

\begin{equation}
 \frac{df}{dw}= \frac{c}{(1+w)^3} + \frac{d}{(1+w)^4} + \frac{e}{(1+w)^5} + \frac{f}{(1+w)^6}
\end{equation}

For $H_2$ the fitting parameters are:  c=1.1262,  d=6.382,  e=-7.8055, and  f=2.144.

Integrating equation \ref{kim_diff} over the secondary electron energy ($w$) yields the total ionization cross section (see also eq. 20 in \cite{kim2000}):
While the integral is partially analytical, the part of the integral involving the dipole oszilator strength $\frac{df}{dw}$ can be isolated and is given as:

\begin{equation}
 D(t) \equiv N^{-1} \int_0^{(t-1)/2} \frac{1}{w+1} \frac{df}{dw} dw.
\end{equation}

For the cases considered here, where the dipole oszilator strength can be described as a simple powerlaw series, the above integral
can also be solved analytically.

\subsection{Proton cross section}
For the proton ionization cross section we adopt an analytical expression given by \cite{Rudd1988}. This expression is based on the molecular promotion model in the low energy regime and on the classical binary encounter approximation for higher energies.

The model equation for the differential cross section as a function of the ejected electron energie ($w=E_e/I$) in units of the ionization potential
($I$) and the reduced proton velocity ($v=\sqrt{\frac{m_e}{m_p} \frac{E_p}{I}}$) is given as:

\begin{align}
\label{rudd}
 \frac{d\sigma}{dw}= (S/I) \, \frac{[F_1(v)+F_2(v)w](1+w)^{-3}} {1+\exp[\alpha'(w-w_c)/v]}
\end{align}

with
\begin{equation}
  S=4\pi a_0^2 N (R/I)^2,
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\label{wc}
 w_c=4v^2-2v-R/4I.
\end{equation}

The parameter $w_c$ determines the point where the exponential surpression of the cross section sets in and is in fact composed of two parts,
$w_c=A-B$ with $A=4v^2-2v$ and $B=R/4I$. As long as $B\gg A$ we are in the low energy part of the cross section which is described by the molecular
promotion model. Within the low energy regime $w_c$ is independent of the energy of the impacting proton and determined by the target material.

For impact energies $A \gg B$ the cross section is based on the binary encounter model. The maximum of the total cross section lies
in the range where $A\sim B$ ($E\sim 10^5$). The here used definitions of $A$ and $B$ are the ones used in \cite{Rudd1988}. It is worth to mention that
a more general definition of

\begin{equation}
\label{A}
 A=4E-\gamma \sqrt{I E}
\end{equation}

with $\gamma=4$ is given in the binary encounter theory. However, \cite{Rudd1988} report that $\gamma =2$ has been found experimentally and is thus the value used in
the model equation~\ref{rudd}. In the classical regime ($E=1/2 mv^2$) and with energy measured in units of the ionisation potential $I$, one obtains the
expression used in equation~\ref{wc}. $F_1$ and $F_2$ are described by the following fitting functions:
\begin{equation}
 F_1=L_1+H_1 \,\,\,  \rm{and}  \,\,\, F_2=L_2 H_2 /(L_2+H_2)
\end{equation}
\begin{align}
H_1 &= A_1 \ln(1+v^2)/(v^2+B_1/v^2), \,\,\,  \rm{and}  \,\,\,  H_2 = A_2/v^2 + B_2/v^4, \\
L1  &= C_1 v^{D_1} / (1+E_1 v^{D_1+4}), \,\,\,  \rm{and}  \,\,\, L2  = C_2 v^{D_2}
\end{align}.

The ten parameters $A_1,...,E_1$, $A_2,...D_2$ and $\alpha'$ are obtaind by fitting the model equation to the data. In the case of $H_2$ as a target they are: $A_1=0.80$,  $B_1=2.9$,
$C_1=0.86$, $D_1=1.48$,  $E_1=7.0$, $A_2=1.06$, $B_2=4.2$, $C_2=1.39$, $D_2=0.48$, and $\alpha'=0.87$ \cite{Rudd1988}. To obtain the total cross section equation~\ref{rudd} is numerically integrated.

\paragraph{Relativistic corrections to the Rudd model}
The model equation of \cite{Rudd1988} is not correct for relativistic proton energies. To expand the model to relativistic impact energies we change the
velocity parameter $v$ to hold in the relativistic limit. First we compare the reduced velocity parameter with the classical velocity $v_cl$:

\begin{equation}
 v_{cl}=\sqrt{2E/m_p}.
\end{equation}

We find the relation
\begin{equation}
   v=\sqrt{m_p/2} \times \sqrt{m_e/(m_p/I)} \times v_{cl}.
\end{equation}

However, in the proper relativistic treatment the velcovity is given as:

\begin{equation}
 v_{rel}=\sqrt{1.-(m_p c^2/(E+m_p c^2)^2} \times c
\end{equation}

where $c$ is the speed of light. We therefore substitute the velocity parameter $v$ with

\begin{equation}
 v'=\sqrt{m_p/2} \times \sqrt{m_e/(m_p/I)} \times v_{rel}
\end{equation}

to introduce a velocity parameter which holds in the relativistic limit and reduces to the old parameter for not relativistic energies.
Moreover, we can not use Equation~\ref{wc} as it was derived using the classical energy-velocity relation. Analog to the above derivation we find that:

\begin{equation}
 w_c'=(4E-2\sqrt{IT})/I-w2.
\end{equation}

These changes give a sufficiently correct approximation of the cross section in the relativistic limit. Due to the above changes the total ionization cross section stays constant for highly relativistic energies as the normalization of
the differential cross section depends only on the velocity which asymptotically approaches $c$. In reality the cross section keeps increasing logarithmically in energy, introducing a small uncertainty for highly
relativistic particles.

\subsection{Secondary ionisations}
Each ionization process produces a free electron(here we neglect the case where both electrons are stripped from the $H_2$ molecule). Those secondary electrons can produce further ionizations if their kinetic energy is above the ionisation threshold.
In this paraghraph we want to determine the effect of ionisation from secondary electrons as a function of the primary ionization process. Given
the differential cross section the production rate of secondary electrons is:

\begin{equation}
 \frac{dN_s}{dEdVdt}= 4\pi \int_I^{\infty} n \, j'(E') \frac{d\sigma'(E,E')}{dE} dE'
\end{equation}
Here $n$ is the number density of target molecules, $j'$ is the flux of primary particles and $\frac{d\sigma'(E,E')}{dE}$ is the differential
ionization cross section for the primary particles. In the following \textit{prime} parameters always refer to the quantities of the primary particles.
Assuming a steady state solution the spectrum of secondary electrons is given as:

 \begin{equation}
  \frac{dN_s}{dEdV}= \frac{dN_s}{dEdVdt} \times \tau
 \end{equation}

Where $\tau$ is the residence time of secondary particles within the region of interest. We shall assume that all secondaries do not travel any
significant distance from the point of origin before loosing all their energy. In this case the residence time corresponds to the energy-loss time,
and all secondaries exist only at the location where the primary ionization took place. Rewriting the energy loss function as $L(E)$, the energy
loss per column density, the residence time is given as:

\begin{equation}
 \tau = \tau_{loss} = \frac{E}{dE/dt}=\frac{E}{L(E)nv}
\end{equation}
Where $n$ is the number density of the target material responsible for the energy losses and $v$ the velocity of the secondary electrons. For simplicity we
consider a molecular cloud consisting of molecular hydrogen only. The energy loss function is taken from \cite{Padovani2009} based on measurements.
Therefore it accounts for all relevant processes, namely: ionisation losses,
losses due the excitation electronic levels and vibrational states, as well as Bremsstrahlung. Using the above expression for the energy losses and the spectrum of
secondaries we obtain the flux of secondary electrons assuming isotropy as:

\begin{align}
  j_s(E) &= \frac{dN_s}{dAdEdtd\Omega} = \frac{v}{4\pi} \frac{dN_s}{dEdV}   \nonumber \\[5pt]
         &=\frac{E}{L(E)} \int_I^{\infty}  j'(E') \frac{d\sigma'(E,E')}{dE} dE'
 \end{align}

The flux of secondary electrons is proportional to the ratio of production rate to loss rate as expected in a steady state solution. Now we can calculate the ionization
rate for the secondaries as we did for the primaries.
To better understand the effect of secondaries, it is convenient to define a function, $\Phi(E')$, as the average number of secondary ionizations per ionization event of a primary with energy $E'$.

\begin{align}
	 \Phi(E') &\equiv \frac{\int_I^{E_{max}} \frac{j_s(E)}{dE'} \sigma_s(E)dE} {j'(E')  \, \sigma'(E') }  \nonumber \\[5pt]
		  &= \frac{1}{\sigma'(E')} \int_I^{E_{max}} \frac{d\sigma'(E',E)}{dE} \frac{E \,\sigma_s(E)}{L(E)} \,  dE
\end{align}

We find that $\Phi(E')$ does not depend on the flux of primaries but only on the total and differential ionization cross section of the
primary species, and the total ionization cross section and the energy losses of the secondaries (electrons).
Therefore, for a given target material and a given energy of primary particle, $\Phi(E)$ is a constant.
We note that for multi component targets the definition of $\Phi(E')$ has to be
understood as a function of multiple components where $\Phi(E')_{t_p, t_s}$ is the number of secondary ionizations of target species $t_s$ caused by
primary ionizations of target species $t_p$.
Interstellar molecular clouds are heavily dominated by molecular hydrogen which shows a higher ionisation cross section than other abundant targets (like Helium).
Therefore, secondaries produced on any other target than molecular hydrogen will be less in number and mainly lead to further ionization
of molecular hydrogen. For the same reasons also the energy loss of secondary electrons is dominated by molecular hydrogen.
As can be seen from the right panel of Figure 1, for H2 $\Phi(E')$
 is of the order of unity for both electrons and protons and thus represents an important correction.

\end{center}

\subsection{Propagation of cosmic rays into a molecular cloud}
To estimate the ionisation deep inside a molecular cloud it is important to correctly describe the propagation of CRs inside the cloud and to account for their energy losses. While this in general a complex field of research we follow
\cite{Padovani2009} and assume straight line propagation and continuous energy losses along the line of sight. This reflects the minimum amount of energy losses to any CR spectrum. It is important to note that even though
CRs below a certain energy $E_s$ can not penetrate beyond a certain column density, a low energy tail of the CR spectrum below $E_s$ is present at any depth. This low energy tail is produced by CRs of energies
$E_s +\epsilon$ and its shape is given by the inverse energy loss function (see \cite{Padovani2009}) for details). The importance of the low energy tail for the total ionisation rate depends on the shape of the
assumed CR spectrum outside the cloud and the penetration depth considered.

\section{CRIME the online tool}
CRIME is a webrun tool accessible under \url{http://crime.in2p3.fr/webrun.html} that allows the calculation of the CR ionistion rate of $H_2$.
The user can specify an electron and/or proton spectrum among a power law or broken power law shape as well as pre-defined minumim and maximum CR background models. In the near future the choice of arbitrary CR spectra
will be implemented via a file upload (data points). It is also possible to account for the straight line propagation of the spectrum to the column density of interest, alternatively a minimum CR energy considered
can be specified. Based on the user choices, the calculation and the displaying of the results takes 10-40 seconds. The output of the calculation is the ionisation rate per second as well as two plots showing the user
defined CR spectrum (and the propagated spectrum if requested) and the differential contribution to the ionisation rate. The region contributing to 90\% of the total ionisation rate is highlighted. In case the
straight line propagation is calculated, also the shielded energy $E_s$ is calculated and marked in the plot showing the differential contribution to the ionisation rate. An example output for a \textit{Voyager}-like
CR proton model and a maximum CR background electron model is shown in Figure~\ref{fig2}. In this example the ionisation rate per second is $1.8\times10^{-17}$ and $3.6\times10^{-15}$ for protons and electrons respectively.
This tool will provide a fast and easy access to the calculation of the CR ionisation rate as well as basic information like the most relevant energies causing it.

\caption{Example Output of a CRIME run. Left hand side: Shown are the CR input spectra for electrons and protons before and after straight line propagation to a column density of $H_2$ of $10^{22} \rm{cm}^2$.
The part of the spectra marked in red contribute to 90\% of the ionisation rate. The right hand side shows the differential contribution to the ionisation rate in arbitrary units. The regions contributing to 90\% of the
ionisation are highlighted and in addition the energy $E_s$ not able to penetrate to the chosen $H_2$ column density of $10^{22} \rm{cm}^2$ is shown. We note that for electrons the low energy tail of the spectrum
produced in the cooling process accounts for about 50\% of the ionisation, while for protons its contribution is minimal.}

\section{Conclusion and Outlook}
We provide a easy-to-use web tool to calculate the ionisation rate of CR electrons and protons based on relativistic cross sections and a selfconsistent calculation of the effect of secondary ionisations.
Straight line propagation of the CR spectra is available as a minimum energy loss calculation. In addition to the value of the ionisation rate the tool provides information on the effect of the propagation model as well
as the differential contribution to the ionisation rate.

We are currently working on the implementation of the calculation of the gamma-ray emission of the specified cosmic ray spectrum (with the pion production channel already available on the webpage) to allow a
simultaneous calculation of ionisation rate and gamma-ray emission. The whole calculation is based on a very modular code which allows an easy implementation of new features like more complicated propagation models or
other target materials for the ionisation (with Helium being already implemented in the underlying code).

4. Brave (2012)
By The Mad Movie Man on	 January 4, 2013 2012, 6 - 7.9, 90-99 mins, Animation, January, Kids', Movies Of 2013, Review, United States
6.0 Not Pixar's Best
Starring: Kelly MacDonald, Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson
Director: Mark Andrews, Brenda Chapman
Brave is the latest addition to the Pixar film franchise, and it is basically a bit of a mick-take of Mel Gibson's Braveheart. It follows the life of Merida, a young girl who is to be the new queen of Scotland or something, however she wants to pursue her passion of being an archer. Her mother gets pushy and tries to make her stop, so Merida goes to a witch, who turns her mother into a bear…
I always love watching Pixar films, they are just always such fun, and this was too; the jokes were entertaining, the animation was as always incredible, and the storyline was way too over the top. Initially, I felt that the story following Merida being an archer was very promising, however it started to tail off a little when it became a bit like a fairytale.
The cliché of going to seek a spell to get someone out of your face was a bit disappointing, and then the fact that her mother was turned into a bear, and didn't immediately want to tear her daughter's face to shreds was in fact too ridiculous.
Obviously, the story was completely predictable, but it appeared to me that that was exactly what Pixar were going for, which allowed me to look at it in a much more light-hearted way.
Overall, this film gets a 6.0 because it was entertaining, and it kept my attention, but I think that the script was too ridiculous and not farcical enough to be truly funny.

She was an English Fishing boat produced by Smith's Dock Company, Ltd. North Shields Yard No.134 in 17th February 1904.
She was sunked by Turkish Shore gunman Mustafa Ertugrul and his men by a good trick. During last days of the World War, French boats Alexandra and Paris II was commencing their sentry duties along the Antalya coast. They were making the transportation very hard by sinking every ship they saw. Mustafa Ertugrul sunked Paris II near Kemer in 13th of December 1917 by using a sailing ship as a bait. He also used the same trick to sunk the Alexandra but Alexandra was cautious after Paris II. He decided a different trick would do the job.
He loaded a sailing ship with goods. One of the goods was a crate loaded with dynamite hidden under oranges. Alexandra was too cautious and they didn't aprroach to the ship. They send a small boat to the ship to control her. After controlling the ship, they towed her to Alexandra. When they were loading the crates to Alexandra, the fuse ignited with the movement of the crate and blasted loudly thus sinking the ship.
The wreck isn't been found yet. The reasons of this could be the depth of the sinking area or the sources being not too absolute or both.

The great thing about CES is that every now and then an unknown shows off something cool. I'd never heard of Fulton Innovation but they have smart products based around wireless power transmission. Todd learns more about eCoupled from Dave Baarman.
Fulton Innovation have developed an inductive coupling solution that scales from simply making a magazine cover light up as you walk past to being able to charge a whole bag of devices without taking them out of the bag. Electric cars could be recharged by parking in the right spot and not by plugging them in.
Not all of these products are ready for market just yet, but inductive charging efficiencies are on a par with plug-in chargers though economies of scale are needed to bring the prices down to a point where it's built-in as standard. Palm's Pre range of smartphones used inductive charging with the Touchstone and the Motorola Droid 4 has inductive charging as an option. As a Pre 3 owner, it's brilliant not having to fiddle with cables and I hope more devices come to the market with inductive charging in 2012.

Approaching the end of a semester may bring students more stress when they have to select classes for the next semester. The denial can be a let down, but some colleges and universities are trying to relieve students of worrying by using a new registration system.
As of March 31, 2014, students at Cleveland State University may register for a year's worth of classes before the upcoming fall semester. The objective of multi-term registration is to allow students to get their degree in a reasonable amount of time. Unlike Ithaca College, Cleveland State is primarily a commuter campus with students who have part-time jobs or families. By offering multi-term registration, students can plan ahead to stay on track to graduate. According to Ronald M. Berkman, president of Cleveland State, 60 percent of students used the new registration method this past year.
The main advantage of registering for an entire year is knowing that prerequisite and follow-up courses will be offered. According to Berkman, the method pushes faculty members to create a set class schedule for the academic year, making sure classes that rely on prerequisites are offered every semester. This way, students do not wait to sign up for classes to be offered only a certain semester, saving them time and money.
Michigan State University has had the system for about 10 years. Because Michigan State is primarily a residential campus, it encourages students to use multi-term registration so they can receive more academic advising, according to an April 11 article from Inside Higher Ed.
Of course, multi-term registration may not be ideal for all students. Some students who are undeclared may realize midsemester they will want to declare or switch to a major, which would require them to redo their next semester's schedule. But these problems have simple solutions, such as choosing new classes or acquiring override forms. Cleveland State opens up a new section of a certain class if the maximum capacity has been reached, guaranteeing students a spot.
Though Ithaca College does not have multi-term registration, students whose majors have specific requirements, such as physical therapy or music education and performance, can benefit because their class choice is not as flexible as other majors like politics or environmental studies. Having an entire year planned out can save students from the stress of potentially not getting into a required course and keeping them on track for graduation.

Atlanta Falcon running back Jason Snelling was arrested by the Winder Police Department Friday on multiple charges including driving without a license and possession of less than an ounce of marijuana.
Snelling, of 1261 Silverwood Court in Lawrenceville, was booked into the Barrow County jail at 6:42 a.m. and has since made bond. He was arrested at 4:20 a.m., according to the incident report.
The Barrow Journal sports staff has been recognized once again.
The paper earned eight awards from the Georgia Sports Writers Association contest during the group's annual convention held at the Gwinnett Daily Post in Lawrenceville Sunday.
The recent success enjoyed by this paper from the Georgia Press Association is the result of a combination of things.
Last week's BarrowJournal.com poll asked participants if the government should issue a $250 bonus payment to Social Security recipients to compensate for the lack of a cost of living adjustment.
