BrainspiralFebruary 4, 2015
In this revived Pro Workout, Caitlin Gregg (formerly Caitlin Compton) explains how to deal with challenging and unexpected circumstances, especially before race day. "You need to have the ability to be flexible and to understand that there are some things you can't control," she said back in 2010. "But there are tons of options. The beauty of cross-country skiing is that we do lots of cross-training in the offseason."

Today, Geological Survey Ireland and Teagasc have announced the start of a significant collaborative research project called Terra Soil. Terra Soil is the first research collaboration between Teagasc and GSI that brings together long standing traditions of soils, agronomy, geology and geochemical expertise of both organisations. As part of Geological Survey Ireland's Tellus Programme, Terra Soil is the first Smart Agriculture research output from Tellus Product Development, which aims to unlock the potential of Tellus data to provide value-added, user-focused outputs for the benefit of the economy and society.
Over a 5-year period, the €1M Terra Soil will bring together Geological Survey Ireland's geological data and knowledge and Teagasc's soils and agronomic expertise to provide the agricultural sector with high quality, agri-environmental information about Ireland's soil to better inform the sector, support sustainable agriculture and protect Ireland's environment. To do this, the project is tasked with analysing some 10,000 soil samples, which have been collected as part of the Tellus Programme, for available nutrients, metals and trace elements, coupled with a spectral library to predict texture class and particle size. These new datasets will be combined with Tellus geochemical information and will be mapped regionally to produce data products for the agricultural and wider community, giving greater insights into Ireland's soil fertility, crop and animal health, land drainage, nutrient management and farm economics. Terra Soil mapped products will be freely available and will describe the quality of Irish soils to inform how this unique resource is managed to improve the sustainability of Irish agriculture.
On the announcement of the Terra Soil launch, Minister of State for Natural Resources Seán Kyne T.D. said, "I'm delighted to see the commencement of this project of national importance, which will see the provision of scientific data informing key agricultural policy, such as Food Wise 2025, as well as supporting farmers at a local level through new advice. Soil is a critical natural resource which underpins our agri-food sector and this work will enable its improved assessment and management, while also ensuring its potential for sustainable use is maximised within the sector."
Director of Geological Survey Ireland, Koen Verbruggen, notes, "Geological data underpins many aspects of our economy, not least agriculture, and this collaboration with Teagasc combines geoscience and agronomic expertise in order to drive maximum value from national-scale geological mapping programmes, such as the award-winning Tellus survey. I am delighted to see this real-world applied geoscience project from our flagship Tellus programme, which will give back to society in a big way."
Dr. Frank O'Mara, Director of Research with Teagasc, highlights, "Terra Soil will provide great insights into Ireland's soil. This new resource is exciting because of the extent and depth of analysis. We know that by analysing our soil, we can get meaningful data which will greatly benefit the farming community to help them manage soil as an important natural resource. Our farming community will be better informed to make better decisions, which will hopefully positively impact crop yield, land fertility, the environment and farming costs."
For more information on the project please visit the Terra Soil project page.
Geological Survey Ireland is the National Earth Science Agency. It is responsible for providing geological advice and information, and for the acquisition of data for this purpose. Geological Survey Ireland produces a range of products including maps, reports and databases and acts as a knowledge centre and project partner in all aspects of Irish geology. Geological Survey Ireland is a division of the Department of Communications, Climate Action & Environment. www.gsi.ie.
The Tellus Survey is a national geophysics and geochemistry mapping programme undertaken by Geological Survey Ireland and funded by the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment. Tellus involves two types of surveying – airborne geophysical surveying using a low-flying aircraft and ground-based geochemical surveying of soil, stream water and stream sediment. Terra Soil will be using soil samples collected as part of the Tellus ground-based surveying. To date, Tellus surveying has been completed in Northern Ireland (2004–2008) and the border region of Ireland (2011–2013). Tellus airborne surveying has been completed in the north midlands region of Ireland (2014–2015), the eastern midlands region (2015), and most recently the west of Ireland (2016 -2017). For more information, visit www.tellus.ie.
Tellus has established a Product Development work stream in order to derive value-added products based on geoscience data for the benefit of the economy and society. Based on feedback from data users and driven by government policy objectives, product development is undertaken under five main themes: Mineral Prospectivity, Smart Agriculture, Environment and Health, Climate Action and Education. Terra Soil is the first official output from the Smart Agriculture Tellus Product Development theme. Click here for more information on the Tellus Product Development work.
Teagasc, the Agriculture and Food Development Authority of Ireland, is the national body providing integrated research, advisory and training services to the agriculture and food industry and rural communities. For more information, visit www.teagasc.ie.
Teagasc and Geological Survey Ireland have a long and productive collaboration which goes back to the production of the National Soil Survey of Ireland by An Foras Talúntais (AFT, Teagasc's predecessor) in the 1980s. This has continued in recent years with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding in 2016, which will allow continued cooperation on areas of mutual interest, such as soil geochemistry.

iCIMS Releases New Research on the Job Search Process and Candidate Experience
Leading cloud-based recruitment software provider releases research report on the impact of candidates' experience with employers
HOLMDEL, N.J. [July 16, 2018] – More than two-thirds of employed Americans agree that the application, interview or offer process would make or break their decision on whether to take a job, according to a new report from iCIMS Inc., a leading provider of cloud-based talent acquisition solutions.
iCIMS' Candidate Experience Report explores the experience people go through as they search, apply and interview for jobs, and how the quality of that experience is affecting employers.
"When searching and applying for a job, candidates expect the same ease of use and functionality they see in the apps, search engines and websites they already use every day," said Susan Vitale, chief marketing officer at iCIMS. "Particularly in today's tight labor market, if companies do not prioritize the candidate experience, they will not only turn off applicants and lose out on great talent, but they will also hurt their company's reputation and ability to deliver business results."
In addition to the survey of U.S. adults employed part-time and full-time, the report also includes data points from iCIMS' platform, which is drawn from a database of more than 61 million applications and 3 million jobs posted per year by more than 3,500 customers worldwide.
Key data points from iCIMS' system data include:
Application Trends:
Candidates who abandon the online application process tend to spend an average of four minutes applying before deciding to leave the page and not complete the application.
The most popular day applications are completed is Tuesday followed by Wednesday. The least amount of applications are completed Friday through Sunday.
Key findings from the survey include:
Why Candidate Experience Matters:
An overwhelming majority (95 percent) agree that the way a potential employer treats them as a candidate is a reflection of how they would treat them as an employee.
Communication is key, 76 percent of people say not hearing back from an employer after applying for a job is more frustrating than not hearing from someone after a first date.
Insights into the Application and Interview Process:
Candidates want convenient ways to communicate with employers, nearly 90 percent of people agree that it would be beneficial to receive text messages during the job application process.
The clear majority of job seekers (about 70 percent) use Google as part of their typical process to search for open jobs and research potential employers.
Nearly three-in-five (59 percent) job candidates have abandoned an online application specifically because there were issues or bugs with the online career site.
Nearly two-in-three (65 percent) agree that recent security breaches have made them less likely to apply for a job through social media.
More than a quarter (26 percent) of Americans who were employed elsewhere while interviewing had to take off three or more days to interview for their current job.
More than a quarter of working Americans weren't actively looking for a job when they found their current job. Additionally, more than half (51 percent) of employees admitting they'd consider taking another job if the right opportunity came along.

Back From SVVR!
By NeilMay 21, 2015News
Palmer Luckey at SVVR 2015
Just getting back into the swing of things after SVVR! It was a tremendous show; just about all the industry thought leaders had some kind of presence, and SVVR's teamwork paid off in a big way. Everyone was glad they went. Congratulations again to the whole SVVR team for a great two days!
It makes no sense that with all the rich discussions, innovations, and general futurist thinking that was showcased at this memorable conference, that the biggest story circulating the web was in answer to a question. That Oculus was open to porn, and how this somehow demonstrates they have an open platform.
It's very unfortunate because porn is not why I got excited about virtual and augmented reality. It's not what wowed everyone when they put on their first DK1, and I doubt that it is what is occupying the hearts and minds of VR enthusiasts, developers, and innovators everywhere who invested their hard earned time and money to share with the community at SVVR, and are making dramatic commitments to their future careers.
Porn has had absolutely nothing to do with any of the excitement or innovations that has gotten us to this point, and while it's a viable form of content like any other, it's misleading that this is considered the big story out of an otherwise far more remarkable show made possible by crowds and crowds of remarkable people.
MTBS will have more to share from SVVR soon!


Back Alley Deals and the Hidden Job Market.
We have all heard of the mysterious hidden job market, but what is it? We conjure up ideas of roundtable discussions being held in some smoke-filled room with lots of cognac being served on ice–tangible deals for only a select few. Yeah right? Not!
You do not need to know someone to get into the un-advertised job market, but you need to know who is hiring. 'Information is power'- that statement couldn't be truer. What am I talking about?
Let me introduce you to Socrates. No, I am not referring to the old cat in a toga, but the State of Texas listed employer database used to gather labor market information. Forget about letting your fingers do the walking, or running massive Google searches on how many oil and gas companies there are in the region. Socrates does it all for you. Literally, Socrates is a software tool designed to assist local Texas planners perform a regional labor market analysis. The good news is that it is available to the public free of charge!
Click on the size of the company that interests you, along with some options like city, zip code and keywords.
Click on "Map Employers" and presto!
So how do you use the list?
Easy, pick up the phone and call the company or check the employer's website to see if they are hiring.
Why is this useful? Employers do not need to advertise on Monster or Career Builder because people are contacting them. You now have a list of how to contact them without running searches and without rummaging through Monster or Career Builder. This is how you will find the hidden job.
Someone, please pass the cognac on ice.

Усоос — в финикийской мифологии — бог-мореплаватель и бог-охотник, основатель знаменитого древнего города Тир (на территории современного Ливана). Упоминается в трудах финикийского историка Филона Библского.

Существует две версии основания Усоосом города: по первой, Усоос подплыл к острову на бревне и водрузил два менгира, оросив их кровью жертвенных животных. По другой версии, на острове были две скалы, а между ними — маслина, на которой сидел орел. Остров плавал по волнам и должен был остановиться, когда кто-либо приплывёт к нему и принесет в жертву орла — что и сделал мореплаватель Усоос, после чего остров прикрепился ко дну.

Iris Landman, student at the Research Priority Area Sustainable Chemistry performed her master's research project during an internship at the group of Prof. Douglas Grotjahn at San Diego State University. She follows the Honours Master's Program 'Sustainability – the Molecular Approach' of the Holland Research School of Molecular Chemistry (HRSMC). Below is her report on working in an internationally renowned research group and living in 'California's finest city'.
Chemistry master's student Iris Landman.
The best day to arrive in the United States is on Thanksgiving day. My host family, two lovely ladies with two dogs, welcomed me with open arms and a wonderful thanksgiving dinner – with a traditional oven-baked turkey. That was the start of my 5-months stay in San Diego, California's finest city.
A little less-known than Los Angeles and San Francisco, San Diego is located about half-an-hour away from the Mexican border. Its largest economy sectors are defense/military, tourism, international trade and research/manufacturing. The city is divided into different areas, such as Pacific Beach, Northpark, and the downtown. These are spead over more than 900 square kilometers, and so most people travel around by car on the spacious 5-lane freeways. Public transportation has improved with the addition of a trolley, many buses, and Uber. However, I decided to buy a bike and face the hilly landscape up to San Diego State University.
I was very kindly welcomed by Prof. Douglas Grotjahn and his group members at SDSU. Their primary research is on designing new phosphine ligands, water-oxidation catalysts, and metal-organic frameworks (MOF's).
In the Grotjahn group they discovered the famous 'alkene zipper' catalyst, which holds the impressive record of allowing positional isomerization of a double bond over 30 carbons1. I worked on improving upon this catalyst with the help of modeling structure-activity relationships. There was a biweekly group meeting with literature and research presentations and American pizza. During the other weeks we had sub-group meetings in which we discussed our research results.
Prof. Grotjahn (at left) with group members and Nobel laureate Prof. Schrock (6th from left).
Besides doing research, I attended multiple inspiring seminars organized by SDSU, such as a student research symposium with different research groups from all around San Diego and many guest speakers from industry. One particular interesting seminar was with Nobel laureate Prof. Richard Schrock. His lecture titled "From San Diego to Stockholm" was about his life story from high school in San Diego to winning the Nobel Prize in organic chemistry in 2005.
I also attended a Southern Californian (SoCal) Organometallics meeting at the University of California, Irvine, a couple of hours North of San Diego. Scientists and students from various universities and research institutes, such as Caltech, gathered for this often called 'big' group meeting. The goal was to discuss published but also unpublished results to fellow peers. At this meeting I presented a poster and received some useful tips about my research.
Presenting my poster at SoCal Organometallics.
After a couple of months I attended the American Chemical Society (ACS) conference "Computers in Chemistry" in San Diego at the convention center in downtown San Diego. The conference was gigantic, but very well-organized. Scientists from all over the world came to share their work and passion for science. There was a large expo with all the companies from the industry giving away free stuff such as ethanol atom models and Bruker sunglasses. They also had demonstrations of special lab coats that can resist acid spilling, the latest high-tech equipment including the newest tech for gloveboxes in which you can control functions from an app on your phone.
The weather was mostly sunny with comfortable temperatures and the song "it never rains in Southern California" is almost completely true, except for this winter when I witnessed the effects of El Niño with heavy rainstorms and floods. Nevertheless, the locals were happy to see rain, because Southern California is suffering from a severe drought. This resulted in the unique phenomenon of blooming cacti and flowers in the desert.
Other things I enjoyed in between work, were hiking, surfing, sea fishing and cultural things such as an opera and a baseball game. San Diego is also famous for many local micro-breweries where you can taste different kinds of beers. To fill up your stomach, there is always a taco truck around the corner where you can order delicious fish tacos and the special California burritos.
The people that I met in California are hardworking, open-minded, relaxed, and friendly. California is a really beautiful place to live. I have gained new connections and made many friends which will allow for on-going collaborations to take place between SDSU and UvA. This 5-month abroad experience was a unique opportunity that allowed me to expand my views of the world and science.
The visit of Iris Landman was co-financed by the Holland Research School of Molecular Chemistry, the Research Priority Area Sustainable Chemistry, the Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences and the Royal Netherlands Chemical Society. Her research project, under the joint supervision of Prof. Gadi Rothenberg (UvA) and Prof. Douglas Grotjahn (SDSU) combines state-of-the-art descriptor modelling and organic/organometallic synthesis. With such joint international research projects, the RPA Suschem and the HRSMC help excellent students widen their horizons, preparing them for a career in today's global environment.

New York State, City of Buffalo allocate funds to reimagine LaSalle Park
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced on Sunday that New York State will allocate $10 million to reimagine LaSalle Park.
Updated: 9:24 AM EDT October 21, 2019
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Buffalo's LaSalle Park is getting a makeover, and a name change, with some help from New York State, the City of Buffalo, and the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr., Foundation.
The Ralph C. Wilson, Jr., Foundation previously donated $50 million to the project, but New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced on Sunday that New York State will allocate $10 million to reimagine LaSalle Park.
During the press conference Mary Wilson, from the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr., Foundation, announced the foundation will contribute an additional $5 million to the project. Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown also announced that the City of Buffalo is pledging $3 million toward a pedestrian bridge.
Now known as the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Centennial Park, the redevelopment aims to reconnect Buffalo's West Side with the waterfront.
"The progress in Buffalo and in Western New York is undeniable. That success should be shared with everyone, and that's what the reimagining of LaSalle Park is all about," Cuomo said. "Our vision from day one has been about democratizing Buffalo's waterfront, and by investing in this new bridge and in this new lagoon, we can help ensure communities that for too long have been blocked from the waterfront get to experience it and all the benefits of the region's renaissance."
Funding from New York State will go toward a new lagoon feature, as well as replacing the pedestrian bridge. These efforts aim to increase tourism and resiliency efforts.
"LaSalle Park is a beloved neighborhood park that is used by so many for a walk or a run, youth sports, community events or simply to connect with nature," Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation President and CEO David Egner said. "The community vision for LaSalle Park highlighted the importance of safe access to the Park and the Buffalo Waterfront for everyone. The Foundation is proud to be able to commit an additional $5 million to support a new pedestrian gateway that will provide a critical neighborhood connection across the I-190, create a safe and inviting entrance to the park and views of Lake Erie, and be an iconic symbol of the momentum across the City of Buffalo."

NEWMARKET, N.H. —
As tens of thousands of Granite Staters wait for their power to be restored, police in Newmarket are warning about people attempting to steal generators.
Police said there have been no reported thefts, but there apparently has been at least one attempted theft reported by a resident.
"His neighbor found his generator at the end of the driveway, along with a few gas cans that had been moved away from the house," Sgt. Gregory Jordan said.
Jordan said it appears that someone was planning on stealing the generator.
"It's disheartening that there are people like that out there," said Jodi Lamb, who said she is taking care of an elderly woman in the area.
Lamb said her generator is a lifeline.
"It allows for some lights," she said. "There is running water in certain areas of the house, but not all areas, but it is hard. It's tough."
George Merrill, of Newmarket, said he's able to get by with his generator, but he would love to get his heat back on. He said he's not worried about his generator getting stolen.
"Because mine is chained to the wall, and there's no way anybody is going to steal it," he said.
Greg Martin, of Newmarket, said he returned from vacation to find the power out. He said he hadn't heard about the warning from police, but he plans to take some precautions.
"We'll probably pull it in at night, put it in the garage and keep it safe," he said.
Officials reminded residents to always keep running generators outside of all buildings, including garages.
Police said residents should write down their generator's serial number to help recover it if it's stolen.

10 from Centre qualify for state meet
Girls' team finishes 4th in regionals
By ROWENA PLETT
The Centre track squad may be small, 19 in all, but it is mighty, sending 10 athletes, five girls and five boys, to the state track meet later this week in Wichita.
Coach Alan Stahlecker is ecstatic.
"We will be taking a total of 10 athletes to the state meet and they will compete in eight events," he said. "Both are the highest numbers we have achieved in quite a few years."
Despite their small numbers, the girls' team finished in fourth place among 18 schools at the 1A regional meet Friday at Burlington.
"The girls' fourth-place finish in team scoring at the regional meet is the highest that I can recall in my 13 seasons of coaching track at Centre," Stahlecker said.
Junior Brenna Shields took first place in long jump, qualifying for the second consecutive year, this time with a personal record of 16 feet, ¼ inch. She also qualified in javelin and 4x100 relay.
Senior Cacey Simons finished first in triple jump at 32 feet, 7 inches. This was her first individual qualifying event.
Junior Shelby Makovec finished second in the 3,200-meter run with a time of 13 minutes, 7.11 seconds.
The girls' 4x100 relay team of Simons, Marie Miklus, Makovec, and Shields finished second at 54.60 seconds. Sophomore Abigail Svoboda will take Miklus' place at state because Miklus, an exchange student, is returning home to Germany. Svoboda has run in several other meets.
Senior Ty Simons led the boys' team with a second-place finish in the 110-meter high hurdles. He improved from 16.65 seconds in the preliminaries to 16.42 seconds in the finals. Simons just missed going to state in that event last year.
As a newcomer to track this year, senior Nick Salamone will be competing in two events at state. He took fourth place in high jump with a jump of 5 feet, 8 inches.
Salamone also is a member of the 4x100 relay team, which finished in fourth place at 47.91 seconds. Senior Grant Srajer and juniors Dakota Stimpson and Conner Montgomery were the other team members. Srajer and Montgomery are making their third appearance at the state meet in the relay event.
State schedule
Ty Simons — hurdles: preliminaries, 2:30 Friday; finals, 10 a.m. Saturday.
Girls 4x100 relay: preliminaries, 2:55 p.m. Friday; finals, 3 p.m. Saturday.
Cacey Simons — triple jump: 3 p.m. Friday.
Nick Salamone — high jump: 3 p.m. Friday.
Boys 4x100 relay: preliminaries, 3:15 p.m. Friday; finals, 3:20 p.m. Saturday.
Brenna Shields — javelin: 6:30 p.m. Friday.
Shelby Makovec — 3,200: 7 p.m. Friday.
Brenna Shields — long jump: 11:30 a.m. Saturday.

Former UFC fighter Tim Hague dies in hospital after brutal knockout during boxing bout with Adam Braidwood
Tim Hague has died in hospital following a brutal knockout in the boxing ring
Former UFC star Hague went up against Adam Braidwood in a boxing match
The heavyweight bout took place in Canada on Friday night
Hague was sent to the canvas in the second round and suffered a brain injury

By Associated Press Reporter
Tim Hague, the former UFC fighter known as 'The Thrashing Machine,' died on Sunday, two days after he was critically injured when he was knocked out in a boxing match.
Hague switched codes to fight Braidwood, a former Canadian Football League player with the Edmonton Eskimos, on Friday night, and was sent crashing to the canvas following a flurry of shots in the second round.
After receiving urgent medical attention in the ring, Hague was eventually able to get back to his feet and leave the arena with the assistance of his team. But he was later taken to hospital and had surgery to relieve pressure on his brain, having been left in a coma, but he died on Sunday.

Hague's sister, Jackie Neil, announced the death in a family statement.
'It is with incredible sadness, sorrow and heartbreak to report that Tim has passed away today,' the statement said. 'He was surrounded by family, listening to his favorite songs. We will miss him with so greatly.'
The match on Friday night at the Shaw Conference Centre was promoted by KO Boxing.
A fundraising page has now been set up in honour of Hague, with the $5,000 target already doubled as of Monday morning.
And tributes flooded in for Hague on the page, with many paying tribute to the 'wonderful person' and 'positive inspiration'.

The 33-year-old Hague, who grew up on a farm in Boyle, Alberta, was a heavyweight trained in jiu-jitsu. He was 21-13 as an MMA fighter - leaving the UFC in 2011 - before switching to boxing last summer.
After he had been taken to hospital, Hague's friend and fellow MMA fighter Cody Krahn took to Facebook to issue a brief statement, which was later deleted.
The post originally read: 'Once we got Tim backstage and with the doctor we could tell he needed to go to the hospital.
'Tim is currently in a coma. He had to have surgery to relieve pressure from his brain.'
The death of former UFC star Hague comes just two months before superstar of the sport, Conor McGregor, is set to switch codes to face undefeated boxing legend Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas.

"We went across the river and went across to get them back and where we walked across the river in the bend by the lower farm, the water the deepest it was on the shoe was right there. We walked across the river."
Video Text: "Back in the 1930s [the river] was [very] dry. My dad had four or five milk cows (that's where we got part of our living from). The pasture was so bad that my Dad owned that land down there [by the river] timberland and brush and stuff. He had to take the cows down there and he let them eat tree leaves and weeds--whatever they could get and that is what kept them alive. We would have to go down there night and morning and milk them. It was quite a story.
The cows went across one night up on the bend. The next morning my Dad and I had to go down and look for them. We went across the river and went across to get them back and where we walked across the river in the bend by the lower farm, the water the deepest it was on the shoe was right there. We walked across the river."


Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer | TBI From Car Accident or Injured Working?
A traumatic brain injury can cause a great deal of pain and suffering for the victim and his or her family. Traumatic brain injuries can have permanent, life-altering consequences for the victim, including physical and mental impairment. They may also affect the victim's ability to work or function in social situations. Unfortunately, many severe brain injuries are the result of someone else's negligence.
If you or a loved one has sustained a traumatic brain injury (also known as a TBI) due to an accident caused by someone else, you may be able to file a personal injury claim against the parties responsible. An experienced Rochester brain injury lawyer at Patterson Dahlberg Injury Lawyers will discuss your accident, your injuries, and your options so you can receive financial relief and move toward establishing a better quality of life.
Pain, suffering, emotional distress, and disability.
You could also receive compensation for your inability to continue social, occupational, and recreational activities.
Brain injuries are very serious and they permanently affect a person's quality of life. If they affect your ability to work, they can have a huge impact on your financial situation, not to mention the expenses associated with treatment. It is important to remove the financial stress and facilitate healing.
The most common causes of brain trauma include motor vehicle accidents, falling objects, heavy equipment accidents, slip and fall accidents, accidents causing oxygen deprivation, athletics, assault, and anything involving blunt force trauma to the head. Some severe brain injuries can also be caused by workplace accidents.
Although it is widely believed that a person must be knocked unconscious to have suffered a brain injury, the truth is that all it takes is a significant jolt to the head. Even if you have not lost consciousness during the event that caused the brain injury, you could still suffer a concussion or mild brain injury, which can have its own serious consequences.
Car accidents are among the most common causes of brain injuries, causing everything from a concussion to a traumatic brain injury. Seemingly minor accidents can have long-term consequences if your brain is jolted enough. Furthermore, not all car accident-related brain injuries appear immediately. Some arise a few days after the accident and take a long time to resolve.
Workers in a variety of industries are at risk of suffering a brain injury while involved in on-the-job duties. In such cases, workers' compensation can help with the financial stress associated with an accident. Workers' compensation claims can be complex, however. Working with an experienced workers' compensation attorney can help you navigate the process and ensure you get the full amount you're entitled to.
We believe traumatic brain injury victims who suffered their injury through no fault of their own should fight for the compensation they deserve. These personal injury claims can be very complicated cases, but traumatic brain injury lawyers at Patterson Dahlberg Injury Lawyers have the resources, knowledge, and experience to advocate for our clients.
These injuries can require intensive therapy, such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy. These treatments are expensive because the goal is to sustain the highest quality of life possible. Plus, brain injuries can cause a wide range of additional health problems, and can increase your risk of health problems as you age.
That is why your Rochester injury attorney will fight hard for you. You could have difficulty speaking, walking, remembering things, controlling movements, and much more. Because the brain controls the actions of the body, a brain injury can have a devastating effect on your level of comfort and quality of life.
Traumatic brain injuries are devastating. Your quality of life could be permanently affected. Motor skills, speech, the ability to walk, memory, eyesight, and hearing are just some of the things that can be compromised, all of which affect your long-term enjoyment of life. If you or a loved one has experienced a traumatic brain injury, call Patterson Dahlberg Injury Lawyers today at 507-424-3000 for a free consultation.


I turned on YouTube the other night to catch the Red Hot Chili Peppers taking the stage at Bonnaroo. In fact, I turned it on a few minutes early and watched the stage hands finish up prepping the equipment. But what caught my eye and hopefully the eyes of millions of people watching around the world were the two screens on either side of the main stage.
Imagine the darkest night with only a few flashlights on an almost imperceptible stage. But then like a sun in blackness, two red billboards shown out over the crowd. Both said "Buy and download tonight's concert, go to http://rhcp.com/live". And history is made.
In a couple blog posts I made last year about ways music arts could start list building, I described what the Red Hot Chili Peppers are now doing. Take thousands of raving fans and give them an opportunity to own their memory in .mp3 for the price of a few dollars plus your contact information. Absolutely brilliant!
If you're going to be on stage playing for a couple hours, why you not "repurpose" that work into a live album? And what a great way to just get your superfans on your list. Remember Bonnaroo is a music festival featuring hundreds of acts. So you know your audience likes music, but they may not be there for you.
It's the converts and the true fans then that actually go to the webpage and buy the music. Out of thousands rise your audience. . . all on their own.
Look. . . just because you're not the Red Hot Chili Peppers playing at Bonnaroo doesn't mean you can't take this idea for your own. Whether it's repurposing what you're doing, becoming the expert on stage, or list building at a live event – you can do it. Just like the Red Hot Chili Peppers did. . . . think to yourself. . . what can you do for your audience?

The 9th biennial conference of the International Society for Industrial Ecology (ISIE) and the 25th annual conference of the International Symposium on Sustainable Systems and Technology (ISSST) will be held jointly in Chicago, Illinois, USA from June 25-29, 2017.
This meeting promises to be a grand event, as the two leading conferences on sustainability merge their efforts. The conference is being supported by a consortium of four universities in the region, Environmental Science and Studies at DePaul University (DPU), Stuart School of Business at Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), School of Engineering and Applied Science at Northwestern University (NU), and Institute for Environmental Science and Policy at University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC).


Satellite data from NASA show that more than half of the world's major aquifers are in decline – and that those threatened aquifers support major food-producing regions, including California's Central Valley.
California is getting ready to enter the hottest and driest months of the year, but it's armed this year, at least, with a rainy season that resulted in nearly average precipitation for parts of the state. The largest reservoirs in Northern California are brimming, and urban water suppliers will be getting something of a reprieve on statewide mandatory conservation requirements.
About 90 percent of the state still suffers from some kind of drought conditions, though, and many experts suggest it will take two or three consecutive winters like the most recent to snap California's drought.
But one expert believes we'll need much more than that.
This issue of chronic water scarcity goes back long before California's current drought and isn't simply related to a lack of precipitation.
Farmers in California produce about half the country's fruits, vegetables and nuts. And many other crops are exported, too. The state is responsible for 80 percent of the world's almond supply.
Growing food in the arid Central Valley requires irrigation, and farmers rely, in part, on groundwater. How much groundwater is pumped is related to the availability of surface water. Due to drought and environmental concerns, surface deliveries via the State Water Project and Central Valley Project (CVP) are often curtailed. Low deliveries of surface water result in higher amounts of groundwater pumping.
The problem is not just in California's Central Valley. A study by Famiglietti and colleagues published last summer found that of the world's 37 biggest aquifers, more than half had tipped past the point of sustainability.
Globally, about half the water that we use for agriculture comes from groundwater.
As crucial as groundwater is, it remains poorly understood, managed and regulated. "In the developing world, oversight is often non-existent," wrote Famiglietti in Nature Climate Change. In parts of the U.S. we're not much better off, either. California didn't pass a law to monitor groundwater use until 2014, and the law's implementation will take decades. The state also lacks accurate data on the amount of groundwater resources.
Increasing the understanding of the groundwater situation and implementing management solutions is fast becoming paramount as climate change impacts will likely further stress many of the aquifers that are already in trouble.
Areas of high latitude and low latitude are getting wetter, and the area between is getting drier. The line between wet and dry runs right through California (and the middle of the United States). As dry areas get less precipitation, they will need to rely more on groundwater, which will cause further stress to aquifers. "You throw in a little population growth and I think it's just a mess," said Famiglietti.
Solutions to the problem are multifaceted. For Wade, the most obvious relates to surface water. "Unless we fix surface supply problems, managing groundwater under new sustainability rules will result in the loss of hundreds of thousands of acres of farms that grow food for the market," he said.
In his article in Nature, Famiglietti called for a four-fold approach to tackle the problem, which includes greater efficiency in agricultural water use, better exploration of aquifers to get a realistic accounting of water resources, combining surface and groundwater management, and sharing information across political boundaries on aquifer levels and groundwater withdrawals.

Opinion | Prison system issues show "lack of institutional control"
"Our Department of Corrections is not being run in a manner that the people of Alabama should accept, and it is past time to make a change there."
Published on July 28, 2020 at 7:11 am CDT
"Lack of institutional control."
Growing up as a sports fan in Alabama, and even when I attended the University of Alabama, I became familiar with that phrase as the NCAA brought down sanctions on our beloved athletic programs.
Our athletics programs should hold themselves to higher standards, the champion level programs we've come to expect in our state, whether you say "Roll Tide" or "War Eagle."
Shouldn't we hold the officials in charge of running and managing Alabama's prison systems to at least a modicum of the same standards?
When you look at the Department of Justice report released last week detailing the continued horrendous abuses within our state's prison system, there is no way that you can read the horrors outlined there and not think there's a lack of institutional control that starts at the very top.
When a prisoner handcuffed to a bed is beaten with a baton while an officer yells "I am the reaper of death, now say my name!", there is a lack of institutional control.
When an inmate is punched in the face for simply sticking their tongue out, there is a lack of institutional control.
When the officials in charge of our prison system have known about these violations for years and know they are under investigation from the federal government and the abuses still continue to happen, there is a lack of institutional control.
Our prison guards, corrections officers and staff are overworked, underpaid and understaffed, with some of our prisons remaining at half of their full hiring capacity – despite the fact that last year, the Legislature appropriated more than enough money to fill those positions and create new ones to help secure and make safer our correctional institutions. Those positions, both current and new, have not been filled, so our officers and staff at these prisons continue to not get the support they need and deserve due to the inaction of our Alabama Department of Corrections Commissioner.
Not using the ample resources and funding that have been given to you – again, it's a clear lack of institutional control by the Alabama Department of Corrections' leadership and something has to change.
We need new leadership who is actually willing to address these problems head-on and make the changes necessary to fix these problems.
We need new leadership who is willing to work with the Legislature and not try to do things behind the scenes of behind closed doors. The entire nation is watching how we handle this, and we need to be as open, as honest and as transparent as we possibly can be.
Lack of institutional control – we would not allow and have not tolerated it from a football coach, and we certainly don't need to continue to tolerate it from appointed government officials who should be working for the people.

Picasso, Capra and me
Inside the textiles conservation studio: conserving a 1740s printed dress
Anyone for tea? Lifting the lid on the best teapots from our collection
By Antony Penrose
Antony Penrose, son of photographer Lee Miller, tells us about an inspiring friendship and the inspiration behind one of our newest acquisitions.
The Capra is like a lot of Pablo Picasso's work; he pared the piece down so that it's just the essence of goat. There are just a few clues and references there, but when you kind of get it, it really is very goat.
Assistant Curator Sarah Rothwell with Capra by Picasso. © Neil Hanna
Picasso met my mum, photographer Lee Miller, in 1937. He painted her six times, and she went on to photograph him a thousand times. There was a very intimate friendship between both my parents and Picasso that lasted until he died in 1973.
I first met him as a boy in 1950 when he came to our home at Farley Farm in Chiddingly, Sussex, and he and I made instant friends. I bit him, and he bit me right back. It didn't spoil our friendship and I didn't bite any more artists.
After that we visited him in his various homes in the south of France and by 1954, when he was making the glassware, we were visiting him at Villa la Californie in Cannes. He had a pet goat, Esmeralda, and we were all fascinated. It not only lived in the house, it lived outside Picasso's bedroom door. We used to rib him about this, and he said: "Yeah, but you know, she's afraid of the dark and if she wakes up and she doesn't know where I am, she gets frightened, so I keep her close by." Esmeralda came a bit later than the Capra piece, in 1957, but Picasso always had a goat in his life, right from the start.
Capra, by Pablo Picasso and Egidio Costantini (1954) © Succession Picasso/DACS, London 2015
He had an amazing ability to embrace new material. When he made ceramics, he wasn't going to make them like anyone else. He pushed the technique absolutely as far as it would go.
What is it? A glass sculpture made from clear, white and black glass. Look carefully at the black glass and you'll see the goat's features and folded legs.
Who made it? Designed by Pablo Picasso and made by glassmaker Egidio Costantini, in collaboration with Fucina degli Angeli, in 1954.
Why is it so special? Only seven of the Capra pieces, inspired by Picasso's original drawings, were made for sale.
Where can I see it? Capra will be on display in one of our new galleries currently being designed to showcase our internationally important collections of Art and Design, opening in 2016.

Bolivarian Brotherhood: The Roots of the Cuba-Venezuela Relationship and its Future Trajectory
Representatives meeting at the XIII Meeting of the Political Council of ALBA. Photo Credit: Nina Zambrano Díaz. Foreign Ministry of Ecuador.
On September 26, the United States imposed sanctions on Raúl Castro, brother of the late Fidel Castro and head of the Cuban Communist Party (PCC), over Cuba's support for Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. The sanctions prohibit Castro and his family members from entering the United States but otherwise remain largely symbolic in function with little practical effect.[1] Such sanctions align closely with the Trump administration's hardline policy toward Cuba and act as an extension of the maximum-pressure campaign against Maduro. This dual-focus on Cuba and Venezuela reflects the administration's belief that Maduro's resilience against US sanctions is largely owed to Havana's economic and security assistance to Caracas.
Cuba's firm commitment to Venezuela in the face of US pressure highlights a strong partnership between both states stretching back across two decades. Both countries' shared revolutionary ideology and animosity toward the United States have set the foundation for their relationship, which is expected to continue unabated despite changing economic and political circumstances in both states. While Cuba's support for Venezuela has contributed to the persistence of the Maduro regime, continued US pressure may harden the two countries' resolve and lead to a deepening of their relationship. The United States must understand both the historical roots and the current trajectories of the Cuba-Venezuela relationship in order to inform its own decision-making and develop an effective approach to the current crisis.
The origins of the Cuba-Venezuela relationship can be traced back to two events of the 1990s: the "Special Period" in Cuba and the election of Hugo Chávez as president of Venezuela. With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Havana lost its primary economic and security benefactor and experienced widespread food and fuel shortages. This crisis prompted the "Special Period in Peacetime," which lasted throughout the decade and led to a state rationing system to distribute scarce resources to the population. In addition, the government authorized limited free enterprise through small-scale agrarian markets to facilitate the distribution of food during this time.[2] The Helms-Burton Act of 1996 also exacerbated Cuba's economic problems by tightening the preexisting US embargo against Havana and prohibiting foreign companies from conducting business with the country.[3]
The election of Hugo Chávez in Venezuela near the end of the decade, however, changed the situation for Cuba. Chávez and Fidel Castro shared similar ideological and economic positions with regards to their respective brands of revolutionary leftism and their disdain for the United States. Chavez's "Bolivarian Revolution," restructured Venezuelan society around a populist framework that espoused mass mobilization, rejected the previous elites' political and economic institutions, and militarized the country against foreign and domestic opponents.[4] Cuba's predilection for Chávez's populist surge led to a series of cooperative agreements that ended the turmoil of the Special Period and enabled Venezuela to fill the vacuum left behind by the Soviet Union.
The Cuban-Venezuelan relationship has revolved around a series of economic and security agreements that provide a strong underpinning for bilateral ties. In October 2000, both countries signed their first economic cooperation agreement, which saw Venezuela provide an initial volume of 53,000 barrels of oil a day to Cuba, This volume eventually increased to 90,000 b/d.[5] In exchange, Cuba provided over 30,000 doctors and technical specialists to Venezuela to administer medical treatment and other key services. In addition, Havana authorized the relocation of Venezuelan patients to medical facilities in Cuba to receive additional treatment for special cases.[6] This agreement has established the primary basis for much of the two countries' economic engagement to the present-day. The agreement also fills critical gaps that neither state could fill on its own. The provision of subsidized oil to Cuba pulled the country from the stagnation of the Special Period and revitalized the country's economy. The services provided by Cuban medical specialists in Venezuela bolster Caracas's ability to increase its medical coverage for its citizens.
Another key element of the Bolivarian alliance, however, is the security dimension. A failed coup in 2002 against Chávez and growing political opposition to the regime forced the Venezuelan leader to turn to Cuba as a security provider.[7] Castro's decades-long experience with the suppression of domestic dissent provided a model for Venezuela to emulate. From the earliest days of the Chavista regime, Cuba has provided intelligence personnel to bolster the Venezuelan government's security apparatus. Over the past two decades, Cuban intelligence officers have filled key roles in the National Directorate of Intelligence and Prevention Services (DISIP), Venezuela's primary intelligence and counterintelligence agency.[8] In addition, these officers also assumed security roles in the Department of Military Intelligence, The Central Bank, the Interior Ministry, and other critical organizations within Venezuela.[9]
While these appointments have handled Venezuela's domestic political opposition, Cuba also assisted Chávez with suppression of dissent within the military. In May 2008, both countries signed a security agreement that permitted Cuban intelligence personnel to establish the Directorate General of Military Counterintelligence (DGCIM) for Venezuela. DGCIM regularly monitors the allegiance of Venezuelan military officers and detains suspected opponents, which has blunted the potential of the military as a source of opposition to the Chavista regime. In addition, the agreement permitted the Cubans to directly coordinate the training of Venezuelan intelligence officers and soldiers.[10] The outsourcing of Venezuela's security functions to Cuba reflects Caracas's complete trust and dependence on Havana's expertise in this field.
The foundational roots of the Cuba-Venezuela relationship established under Chávez and Castro have provided Maduro with access to a legacy of resources necessary to sustain the Bolivarian regime. However, the US-led sanctions campaign against both Cuba and Venezuela threatens to undermine the integrity of the relationship and the mutual benefits it provides. In addition, economic changes in both countries raise questions over the ideology that has provided much of the basis for the relationship.
US sanctions on Venezuelan oil have reduced Cuba's access to this much-needed import to around 40,000 b/d, which marks a drastic dimunition from the height of the Cuba-Venezuela oil trade when the volume stood at 90,000 b/d. [11] The Trump administration's hope is that this economic pressure would compel Havana to end its security support to the Maduro regime. At the same time, Venezuela's inability to export its oil to its major partners also deprives the regime of revenue, forcing Maduro to share in the pain of his Caribbean ally.
On a broader ideological and economic level, two major changes have occurred that have challenged the economically leftist ideology that sets the basis for the Bolivarian alliance. In February 2019, Cuba ratified a new constitution that, while affirming the dominance of the PCC in national affairs, simultaneously authorized foreign investment, free enterprise, and private property.[12] In September 2019, the Maduro regime implemented austerity measures, reduced printing of the country's currency, and removed price controls, which mark a departure from the socialist economic policies favored by the Chavista government.[13] These two measures contradict the leftist economic policies and ideology that have characterized these two countries' approach to governance and the basis for the relationship. With these stunning measures, more scrutiny is placed on the original purpose and ideological foundation of the Bolivarian alliance, raising questions over the future direction of the relationship and the possibility of long-term structural reform.
While the Bolivarian Alliance may currently face pressure, the reality is that the Cuba-Venezuela relationship, due its deep historical roots, is unlikely to unravel and will continue to impede the dissolution of the Maduro regime. The longevity of the partnership is based around a "diplomatic reciprocity" that has witnessed each state come to the other's aid in moments of deep crisis. Venezuela's economic aid to Cuba during the tail-end of the Special Period represented an act of solidarity that Havana greatly appreciated at a time when the PCC felt vulnerable to internal and external pressures. Cuba's enhancement of Venezuela's internal security provided reinforcement to both Chávez and Maduro in moments when the legitimacy of the Bolivarian regime was challenged.
While the ideological foundations of the partnership are now under strain, the current political and economic crisis under Maduro represents another test of solidarity for the alliance. The long list of economic and security benefits cumulatively gained over the past twenty years within the partnership motivate its continuation. On one level, both countries can point to the joint triumphs achieved together within the framework of the Bolivarian alliance, which suggests that both countries will see the current standoff with the United States as another opportunity to weather political storms together. On another level, the shared hostility towards Washington will further ground the relationship in a way that a shared revolutionary ideology never could.
The United States should continue to monitor the two countries' relationship closely as it works to resolve the Venezuelan crisis. While the Trump administration may not repeal the current sanctions regime on both countries anytime soon, it should approach the crisis with the realistic understanding that the Bolivarian alliance will not crumble easily.
On one level, US policymakers should take into account the double-edged effect of the sanctions regime on both countries. While sanctions deprive the Bolivarian allies of access to key resources and revenue, they simultaneously push the leaders of these states to mobilize the population against the United States. In essence, these countries harness a diversionary foreign policy that increases public support for the regimes in power and unites the state behind the leader.[14] The leaders of Cuba and Venezuela do not want either their constituents or foreign observers to perceive them as submissive to an "external aggressor" and will heavily rely on this diversionary foreign policy to put up a show of strength. As a result, US policymakers should carefully evaluate the effects of additional sanctions in their approach to both countries.
On another level, while the Cuba-Venezuela alliance represents a key challenge to the resolution of the crisis, Washington should not place unique emphasis on the partnership's dissolution as a be-all, end-all solution. The United States should continue to focus on a holistic, multilateral approach to the crisis that accounts for all possible policy solutions and factors and incorporates other partners.
