Here are some songs I created in GarageBand. Enjoy!
My first GarageBand creation, this song is pretty basic and only a minute long. I like the sound, though it could definitely use some work, particularly with the volume levels.
This is my second track, and it shows, as the arrangement is better and it's twice as long.
Another track, this time more like a rock song. It sounds ok, though I need to find some interesting guitar loops.
In Crerar I discovered the track volume control that I had been wanting from the creation of my first song. I don't know if the other versions were outdatted, but the one I used for this remix of the song was GarageBand 2. Nothing is changed in this song except for the volume levels, which are tweaked to come in and out as appropriate.
I gave "Chicago Highlife" the same volume remix treatment. I think the end of the song is much improved.
This is a remix, if you will, of The Eagles song "One of These Nights". It's quite dark and atmospheric, and I'm quite proud of it. I actually didn't use GarageBand for this, but instead used Audacity.

The Homunculus by David H. Keller, M.D. (1949)
What to say about David H. Keller? That, from the publication of his first professional short story "The Revolt of the Pedestrians, " in the February 1928 issue of Amazing Stories, he was one of the most popular science riters of the Twenties and Thirties? That his writing could be evocative and exciting, although much of it is clunkiness to the extreme? That the conservative, rascist, and anti-feminist feelings exhibited in much of his work should be passed by because of the era he was writing in? That his personal qualities of generosity and comraderie made him a respected figure in fandom? That his profession as a physician and psychologist offered his stories unusual insights for the time? Or that, fairly or unfairly, time has passed him by and that he and much of his work will soon be forgotten?
Keller (1880-1966) began writing in amateurand school journals while still a teenager -- his first story was published in 1895 under the name "Monk Smith." The stories and poems that followed, through 1902, were published as by "Henry Cecil," "Matthew Smith," and "Cecilia Henry." During World War I Keller served with the Army Medical Corps as a neuropsychiatrist working with victims of shell shock; he returned to the Army Medical Corps during World War II.
Following World War I, Keller served as the Assistant Superintendent of the Louisiana State Mental Hospital in Pineville, remaining there until 1928 when Huey Long's reform movement came about (the hisital's superintendent had supported Kong's opponent so reform was needed, you see). Keller, evidently seeing the writing on the wall, had just moved on to Tennessee's Western State Mental Hospital. Also in 1928, Keller went to New York to meet Hugo Gernsback. Gernsback had bought Keller's story "The Revolt of the Pedestrians" and was greatly impressed with Keller's writing and the tale's originality; Gernsback usrged Keller to continue writing and submitting stories. (In addition, Gernsback commissioned some $2000 worth of medical articles for a proposed magazzine titled Your Body. Keller wrote the articles (about 300,000 words worth) in just 49 days. And Keller pounded out short stories for Gernsback. In all, Keller published ten stories in Amazing and Amazing Stories Quarterly in 1928, along with two stories in Weird Tales.
In 1929, things went belly-up. Gernsback lost control of Amazing, and the situation at the hospital in Tennessee was dire; political corruption and poor management thawrted Keller. The governor of the state then declared "Tennessee jobs for Tennessee men," and Keller was out of this job. He had lost both his main sources of income. Keller then realized that there were other magazines out there -- if Gernsback wanted his stories, other editors may also want them -- he would become a full-time writer. He published 19 stories in 1929, 16 in 1930, 14 in 1931, 7 in 1932, and 9 in 1933. By 1934, Keller's daughter was off to college and Keller had only enough funds to pay for her first semester. Magazines paid low rates but Keller's high productivity helps counterbalance that but did little to offset both late payments and the sometimes slow publication of his stories (one story was published five years after being accepted). Keller had also opened a psychiatry private practice in Pennsylvania. If he had operated as a general,physician his moneys worries would have been solved, but his experience in World War I and in state institutions led him in the other direction. At the time physicians also treated (of a sort) mental disorders. Most patients went to these physicians and, only when they ran out of money, did they go to Keller. Keller was disparaged, but two weeks after dropping his daughter off for college, he received an offer from the Penhurst State School for mental defectives as their Assistant Director. The school had previously rejected his application in 1929 because it was felt he was too old; the situation had changed and they needed someone with his experience. Keller's acceptance ended his full-time writing career, although Keller would continue to write and publish for another 20 years.
One of his early stories, "A Twentieth Century Homunculus," from Amazing Stories, February 1930, can be seen as a precursor to The Homunculus, with its emphasis on Paracelsus and parthenogenesis, although the short story took an entirely different path.
You thought I'd never get back to The Homunculus, didn't you?
This is a light fantasy and, at 160 pages, a light read. Keller veers strongly into Thorns Smith territory with his eccentric protagonist Colonel Horatio Bumble and his plan to make a baby in a bottle. Bumble is a retired military officer and a retired psychologist, as well as a successful writer. He an his wife Helen live in Bosert Pennsylvania because Helen believes that America is the best country to live in and Pennsylvania is the best state in America and Bosert is the best town in Pennsylvania and their street is the best street in Bosert and their house -- a large one with etensive grounds -- is the best house on their street. And, as long as Helen is happy, Bumble is happy. We open as Bumble is attempting to build -- not dig -- a hole, the purpose of which is a secret. [Spoiler: Bumble intends to put the bottle in which the baby will be grown into the hole.] He is approached to a strange, outlandishly good-looking young couple looking for a job. They are Peter and Sarah, brother and sister, who claim to be Russian royalty. Much to his surprise, he and Helen hire the couple for $5.00 a week -- she for cooking and housework, he for gardening and general work. The next day, Bumble gets up to find that Peter has built the hole, filled it with compost (manure), and covered it with a roof. Sarah, in the meantime, has prepared a good breakfast and has cleaned the entire house better than Helen ever could -- and Helen was a fastidious house cleaner.
We now learn of Bumble's plan to grow a baby in a bottle. Using the works of Paracelcus and adapting a formula for creating a homunculus. The four go out and plant the pre-treated bottle in the manure. It will take forty weeks, Bumble says. Then the bottle will be dug up, broken, and the baby removed.
Peter and Sarah regale the Bumbles with personal stories from throughout history, the people they've met and the things they have seen. Bumble fugures they are the world's greatest liars, or mental defectives, or...
[Spoiler: Pete and Sarah are immortal and are magic. She is actually Lilith, Adam's first wife. Also the Bible's view of creation and of God are somewhat different from Sarah's recollections. Sarah/Lilith has always wanted a baby but could not by natural means, so she had to wait centuries for the universse to create Bumble who would have the idea of making a baby in a bottle.]
Things begin to get out of hand when the story is leaked. Most putbumble doen as a simple crackpot, but a well-known sob sister for a New York paper begins publishing aricles made basically from whole cloth, accusing Bumble of being anti-women and anti-motherhood, announce the formation of the DBBS (the Destroy Bottles and Bumble Scoiety). A notorious mother-loving gangster read this and takes afront at Bumble for tying to destroy mother hood. Another reporter begins a series of columns to counter the first by rejoicing in the possiblity that women may no longer be needed to continue the race. A major corporation triess to buy its way into Bumble's process, even though they doubt it exist.
The mayor of Bosert, who never eaally card for Bumble because he could never fugure a way to get graft from him, seizes on the situation to have Bumble arrested because there is an ordinance about burying garbage; the mayor sends a relunctant Chief of Police (who always liked Bumble) to haul him in. What the mayor does not realize is that Bumble, who had been many places and had done many things, had never been arrested and, thus, he always wanted to be. So Bumble is arrestd, refused the $5 bail, and insists on being locked up. He also calls his lawyer, instructing the man to tell Helen not to post bail because he (Bumble) is looking forward to the experience of being jailed.
The mother-loving gangster (remember him?) meanwhile has gathered twelve of the most vicious criminals in the country to get vengeance for supposedly slighting his mother. They roll into town, break Bumble out of jail the first night he's there, and drive off to parts unknown (actually just outside of Skowhegan, Maine), where they plan to kill bumble in the most horrible fashion. Sarah, being magic, know just where Bumble has been taken and gets to Skowhegaan ahead of the gangsters. She enlists the local sheriff's department to come along on the rescue -- she, being magic, has impressive persuasive powers. Out side the hideout, she goes in alone, reverting to her Lilith persona. She then charms the entire gang into letting bumnle go and then entices each to write a full statement of all their previous invidual crimes and misdeeds. These confessions she gives to the sheriff, who becomes famous for capturing the most wanted crooks and murders in the country, using only stealth and good detective work.
Back in Bosert, time goes on. Peter and Sarah are no longer employees, but welcomed gueats of the Bumbles. Most of the world has forgetten about the baby in the bottle because other. more pressing national and international crises have arrived. When the forty weeks are up, bumble has invited a small select group of persons to witness the bottle's opening; none accept the invitation. It is only Bumble and Mary and Peter and Sarah who are present for the ceremony. The bottle is broken, and there it is! A baby boy! Both healthy and without a navel. Bumnble and Helen are both overjoyed. They have never been able to have children of their own and now they have a son. Sarah is silently happy because now she has a child and will leave the Bumbles to raise it. All three revel in parenthood although none is an actual biological parent. The next morning Sarah and Peter are gone without notice. There was a note from Sarah and presents from her to Sarah -- Sarah's very expensive jewels (she is Russian royalty, after all; maybe) and wardrobe. Bunble got brief not from Peter, saying, So long and thanks for everything. He did not open the present from Peter.
And the baby, dubbed Horatio, Jr., now had a navel.
Despite a very off-putting (for me) anti-feminist and pro patriarchal tone in a good part of the book, I found it to be a very good read. Your opinion and your personal philosophies may differ.
P.S.: I should mention that the book was publisjhed by Prime Press, an early science fiction and fantasy small press founded by four members of the Philadelphia Science Fistion Society in 1947. Prime published eighteen books in its four-year history, including three by Keller, along with notble works by theodore Sturgeon, Lesteer del Rey, L. Sprague de Camp, George O. Smith, and Austin Hall and Homer Eon Flint. as well as reprinting two rare Utopian books.

I've read a few stories by David H. Keller, M.D. over the years. Solid efforts. But I have never run across a PRIME PRESS book in all my years of visiting used bookstores.

"Sometimes you will never know a value of a moment, until it becomes a memory."
DTSpade ON VALUE OF A MOMENT
The one sure fact we all face is the limitation on our time together.
So, do your best effort to be present, because life is happening all around you. Let your child's hugs hang tight for a little while longer, snap out of the foggy interactions you have with your spouse, and call your mom and dad just to hear their voices. One day we all will long deeply for that which we can no longer have: time to make more memories.

Centuries, Randonneurs, Gran Fondos and epic summer rides – helpful information to prepare for an excellent day of riding!
With all the hours we put in through out the year to get ready for a race, more about its one of the most frustrating things to have an issue arise in the race that forces you off the back or causing your race to end shortly. It is especially frustrating when these issues happen, and you realize that with a little extra preparation, perhaps it would not have happened.
To make sure you are fully prepared for racing, here are a few pointers that one should be taking care of 2-3 days before the race to ensure you and your equipment are fully ready to perform at its best. If you wait until the day before the race or don't do these things, will inevitably be less prepared for the event and are likely opening a door for bad luck to enter.
So here are a few things to do a few days before the race. You want to avoid waiting for the day before the race to do these, to ensure that you have time to make adjustments or pick up needed parts should you come across any potential issues.
Tires are in good condition – replace any tires with big gashes, worn out, or flatting frequently (i.e if you have had a couple of flats lately and the tire has been on there a while, its probably time for a new one.). If you are on the fence whether you need a new tire(s) or not, just go for a new one if possible. Put it on before the race, save the "Maybe its still good" tire for some training miles when you are not planning on racing it.
Brakes – make sure the pads are in good condition and will not wear down mid race if they are getting close. If they are questionable, replace them or at least get a spare set of pads to bring with you to the race(especially if you are headed to a stage race). Also make sure they are tuned properly(not too much space or too little to reduce your braking power).
Chain – Clean and make sure its not worn, replace if necessary so you don't break a chain during the race.
Clean the drive train, inspect for worn teeth on the chain rings or cassette.
Shifting – make sure bike is shifting properly, replace cables and housing as needed. This is both to save you the frustration of "ghost shifting", and also makes it safer to race on – if your drive train is not working properly, it could catch or slip and cause you to lose control and crash.
Cleats – make sure they are in good condition, replace as necessary. Sprinting/attacking on worn cleats and they can break and are more likely to come unclipped when unwanted and cause a crash – one of the worst crashes I have seen was caused by this.
Bolts on bike – put a wrench in every bolt. Make sure your bars, saddle, chain ring bolts etc are properly tightened. Use a torque wrench when needed to make sure things are not over tightened per their specs. – p.s. in crits, you do not get a free lap for a mechanical that is preventable, such as bars slipping because they were not tight enough.
After making changes to your bike, try to get in a ride on it to make sure any settling of parts, bolts, cable stretch etc has a chance to work itself out and you catch it before the race. Give one last check over after the ride as well to make sure things are still as set and there are no new issues(Like a new gash in your tire…). Try to get this ride in before your bike shop closes just in case.
Special food needs – if you have any dietary specifics, go shopping on before you leave for a race to make sure your bases are covered before you leave. Some of the small towns that races are nearest may not have what you need. You also don't want to have to be running around doing this when you could be resting if it is a stage race.
Same for energy foods – get your drink mixes, in race favorite foods, gels, bars etc ASAP, and don't count on where you are going to have what you need, chances are they will not.
Right before a race is most likely not the day for the hardest workout in the world. A hard workout a few days before can be good, but it depends on the rider and the race. An easy ride with leg openers(Some short intervals, but nothing too hard that will make you too tired before the race) is good the day before a race. You cant cram miles/intensity in for a race in the final days before it.
Keep hydrated, focus on good nutrition and getting the best rest as possible. Going into the weekend rested and hydrated is important. You can become chronically dehydrated, so working on keeping your hydration levels up in the days leading up to the race is important.
Try to keep off your feet when possible, avoid weight lifting in the 3 days before a race if you are lifting weights.
Foam roller, the stick, getting a massage are all great tools to help prep the legs in the days leading up to a race. Avoid deep work – use all these tools lightly, it should be the feel good kind of work, not the deep working out all the tension from training in the last 2 months kind of work – that will make you feel sluggish at a race and hinder performance.
Try to tie off any nagging stressors before leaving if you can so its not in the back of your head during the race weekend, allowing you to focus on racing well and good recovery, not worrying about something you have to do as soon as you get back home.
Bring extra food, and a gallon of water(at least!). You will not complain about having too much food or water with you. You will complain if you run out of either one. Many race venues are not anywhere near any running water! Bring a gallon jug of water with you!
A warm jacket goes a long ways in early season racing. Bring your warmest winter puffy you have. Long underwear under your pants can be good too. Keeping warm vs kinda cold is going to improve your recovery.
Pillow! Bring your own pillow if you are staying overnight anywhere for a race. You are used to it and will sleep better likely than if you are in a new bed and have a new pillow as well. It is also nice for driving around and trying to nap on the road if you get the chance to split driving shits.
touring or just long rides in with teammates and friends it is important to be sure to take some basic preparations to ensure you have successful rides and are well prepared.
The first thing you should do is be sure you have the proper bike fit – this is going to be very important both for comfort on the bike, as well as ensuring efficient and sustainable body mechanics. Injury can arrive through incorrect positioning on the bike, causing issues such as: increased stress through joints, hindered ranges of motion, or awkward body angles that will lead to injury. A lot of people have a basic fit when they first purchase their bike, which typically consists of measuring tape and old fashioned eyeballing of a rider on one's bike. This can be a good way of getting you in the ballpark for frame size, but if that's all that's been done it may not be enough to address issues more specific to how your body works with your bike. Some commonly missed issues include: individual range of motion, bone length discrepancies, muscle imbalances, past injury considerations and pedaling inefficiencies. Getting a fit from a physical therapist (like our fit guru Russell Cree, who works with a wide range of riders using state of the art tech) can really make the difference between completing some big miles and avoiding injury. Using tools that takes your pedaling mechanics into account, and not just a static fit (sitting on the bike and looking at angles while not in motion), is especially helpful.
Make sure your bike is ready for a big day away from bike shops!
Some major parts to check include: chain and cassette wear, brake pads, cleats on your shoes, tires and rims. A general lookover to ensure there are no new damages to the frame is highly recommended. Problems such as fatigue cracks, dents, or other major issues are rare, but are certainly something to keep an eye out for! Be sure you have allocated time to replace anything that needs to be fixed before the event. Make certain to keep tabs of these potentialities starting a few weeks out if needed! If you are unsure of the safety or state of anything on your bike, take it into a shop to have it checked out and replace items as needed. You'll want to have a couple of rides on your bike after making any maintenance to be sure your bike is in solid condition (before taking it into an event or finding yourself miles away from help…).
The longer the event, the longer the list of extra supplies will grow. If you are planning on being out on gravel roads, more tools/flat repair parts are crucial. Multi day event? Bring a spare tire, cables, chain pin/missing link. If you are part of a supported ride, some items may be provided to you, but ultimately self reliance is key. If it is a ride with a group, coordinate with teammates to ensure everything's covered – for larger more random items (Like a spare tire), you can plan to share resources as needed and distribute the items across the group.
Though it's not ideal, it's okay if you don't have the knowledge to do all possible repairs – if you have the right tools and equipment for a roadside fix, someone else may be able to come to your aid. It is good to have your cell phone with you for any emergencies, but many times you may be without a signal so try to avoid relying on it for more common roadside fixes.
Its also important to have good skin, eye protection and appropriate clothing. Check the Weather, and always bring more than you might need to the start. You may not likely need arm warmers for a summer Gran Fondo, but they should make it into your bag in case it happens to be chilly at the start. You should have an array of arm warmers, knee warmers, base layer, wind vest/jacket, knee warmers and other clothing options along with you even if you do not expect to need it – better to have it and not need it, than be left wishing you brought it with you. Sunscreen is important to make sure you don't get burned out there! Sunglasses are also important, not only for the sun protection, but to ensure nothing flies into your eyes. Having a selection of lenses for different conditions is a great to have and be ready to swap as needed. Pack your bag the day before your event to make sure you get it all. Make a list and check things off as you put it in your bag. Don't forget your shoes and helmet!
When it comes to routes, you should have some decent knowledge of the roads you will be on. Look at a map before you go. Some people will print off a small map and bring it along. Know the names of the roads and what the turns are. It's never good to just rely on support people or ride partners, – you may get separated during the ride or they may also be unsure of the route. There have been instances where even the lead car in races have missed a correct turn and taken riders off course, so it's always smart to know where you are going and how to get back to the start.
Being well fuelled is a priority for any ride. A good rule of thumb is 300-400 calories per hour, and one water bottle per hour. This is going to fluctuate depending on the individual and conditions, but is a great starting point. It can be great to talk with a coach for more specific numbers to ensure you are fuelled right for your event, as a number of personal factors affect the amount needed. Eat foods on big events that you have tried out in training. You don't want to wait until an important goal event to try a new product only to discover it gives you stomach issues. Many supported rides have aid stations along the way. Regardless, it is still good to be as self sufficient as possible to ensure what you consume on the ride is is agreeable with your body chemistry. There are a lot of products to choose from out there, so look around and try out several items to see which make you feel the best on the bike. It's also good to make sure you try them under different conditions as well – something that may go down well in January, when it's cold and rainy, may not be as tasty to you on a hot July day. Sometimes basic food like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches go down best, and sports marketed energy bars are great and convenient for a lot of situations, but don't be afraid to experiment with everyday food items to see what you like best.
This is the last, but ultimately the most important factor in ensuring successful rides. Nothing beats getting in some miles, structured intensity, and rest periods to ensure you are setting yourself up for a successful event. If you're planning a big event in August, you want to be sure you are preparing in advance; getting the right kind of distance and intensity to build up to an important event. Keep posted to current training tips, talk to friends and other riders about courses and what to expect, and get in touch with professionals when needed to make sure you are setting yourself up for success. This is a never ending topic and coaches spend hours setting up the right plan and approach for individuals and their goals. At the very least, you should strive to get in similar distances and course work before attempting a big ride to ensure you build up to it and know what to expect.
Hopefully this helps prepare you for your big summer events, and feel free to drop us a line if questions pop up. Allons-y!

Truth, Beauty, Math and Crocheting
Dante and the Eternal Quest for Nonreligious Divinity: Physicist Margaret Wertheim on Science and God
"I believe that there is a love that moves the sun and the other stars."
Centuries after Ada Lovelace, the world's first computer programmer, contemplated the relationship between science and religion, and decades after Carl Sagan did the same in his exquisite Varieties of Scientific Experience, physicist-turned-science-writer Margaret Wertheim offers perhaps the most elegant and emboldening reconciliation of these two frequently contrasted approaches to the human longing for truth and meaning.
Wertheim is the creator of the PBS documentary Faith and Reason, author of deeply thoughtful books like Pythagoras's Trousers: God, Physics, and the Gender War and The Pearly Gates of Cyberspace: A History of Space from Dante to the Internet, and cofounder of The Institute for Figuring — "an organization dedicated to the poetic and aesthetic dimensions of science, mathematics and engineering." In her intellectually invigorating On Being conversation with Krista Tippett, Wertheim recounts how she moved away from the Catholic faith of her childhood and toward science, while maintaining a nonreligious sense of spiritual curiosity. In discussing her beliefs, she offers one of the most luminous conceptions of what secular spirituality stands to offer in the modern world, especially for those of us who hold dear the values of science, and how a deeper sense of resonance with the universe can elevate and ennoble human life:
I don't know that I believe in the existence of God in the Catholic sense. But my favorite book is the Divine Comedy. And at the end of the Divine Comedy, Dante pierces the skin of the universe and comes face-to-face with the love that moves the sun and the other stars.
I believe that there is a love that moves the sun and the other stars. I believe in Dante's vision.
And so, in some sense, perhaps I could be said to believe in God. And I think part of the problem with the concept of, "Are you an atheist or not?" is that our conception of what divinity means has become so trivialized and banal that I think it's almost impossible to answer the question without dogma. And … I'm very, very saddened by the fact that militant atheism has become so to the fore of our society — I think it's destructive and unhelpful, and I don't think it does science any service.
One way I think we can understand the God question in relation to science is this: that prior to the coming into being of modern science, [in] the Christian conception of God, God had two functions — God was the creator of the universe, but he was first and foremost the redeemer of mankind. And with the coming into being of modern science, God's position as redeemer got shoved into the background, and all of the questions and the public discussion became about God the creator. And that was why Darwinism was so critical — because [Darwin] appeared to challenge the idea of God as the creator of man. And we, I think, [in] the modern West focus so much on the debate about the creative function of God that, outside of theological circles, we don't seem to be able to discuss, as it were, the concept of redemption… And I think we need to be able to discuss that… We need to start thinking about that.
Complement with Alan Lightman on science and spirituality, Einstein on whether scientists pray, Flannery O'Connor on dogma and the difference between religion and faith, and Douglas Rushkoff on science, God, and why consciousness exists.
If you aren't yet subscribing to On Being — a vitalizing source of moral encouragement and some of the most important cultural programming of our time — gladden yourself and subscribe. Tippett's full conversation with Wertheim is but one of countless reasons to do so:

Check how your business can still use chemicals once the UK leaves the EU
We hope you find our news updates useful. If you know of anyone who may benefit from reading them, please encourage them to register at the bottom-left of our news page (http://www.eljay.co.uk/news/) and we'll email them a link each time an update is published. If in the unlikely event any difficulties are experienced whilst registering we'll be more than happy to help and can be contacted on 07896 016380 or at Fiona@eljay.co.uk
If the UK leaves the EU without a deal, and you are a company that makes, supplies or uses chemicals, there may be changes that affect your business.
Your business may need to make changes before the UK leaves the EU. Please visit Prepare for EU Exit (https://www.gov.uk/euexit) to find more detailed guidance on policy changes relevant to your sector and to sign up for updates.
Preparing for disruption to trade at the UK-EU border
Get a UK Economic Operator Registration and Identification (EORI) number (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/get-a-uk-eori-number-to-trade-within-the-eu) so you can continue to import or export goods and apply for authorisations that will make customs processes easier for you.
Decide if you want to hire an import-export agent, or make the declarations yourself (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/declaring-your-goods-at-customs-if-the-uk-leaves-the-eu-with-no-deal)
Contact the organisation that moves your goods (for example, a haulage firm) to find out what information they need to make the declarations for your goods, or if you will need to make them yourself.
Read the guidance on simplified customs procedures for trading with the EU if we leave without a deal: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/customs-procedures-if-the-uk-leaves-the-eu-without-a-deal
Further information is provided in HMRC's advice for businesses trading with the EU: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/no-deal-brexit-advice-for-businesses-only-trading-with-the-eu
Preparing for changes to existing trade agreements
Check the way you currently trade with non-EU countries. When the UK leaves the EU the way you access existing favourable arrangements with these countries may change. Changes may be different for each country.
Read the guidance on changes to trading with non-EU countries that have a free trade agreement with the EU: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/existing-trade-agreements-if-the-uk-leaves-the-eu-without-a-deal/existing-trade-agreements-if-the-uk-leaves-the-eu-without-a-deal
Preparing for changes to import tariffs
If the UK leaves the EU without a deal, the UK would implement a temporary tariff regime. This would apply for up to 12 months while a full consultation, and review on a permanent approach, is undertaken.
Under the temporary tariff regime the majority of UK imports would be tariff-free.
In certain sectors, tariffs would be maintained to support the most sensitive agricultural industries, the automotive sector, vulnerable industries exposed to unfair global competition, and to maintain the UK government's commitment to developing countries.
Check the temporary rates of customs duty on imports after EU Exit: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/check-temporary-rates-of-customs-duty-on-imports-after-eu-exit
Regulation and standards
Chemical regulations
After the UK leaves the EU there will be changes to all chemical regulations, including EU REACH (the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals Regulation).
If the UK leaves the EU without a deal, the EU REACH regulations will be brought into UK law to create 'UK REACH.'
Maintain your access to EU/EEA market
If the UK leaves the EU without a deal, you will need to transfer your registrations to an EU/EEA-based organisation or support your EU/EEA-based importers to become registrants. Read the guidance from the European Chemicals Agency (EHCA): https://echa.europa.eu/uk-withdrawal-from-the-eu
Maintain access to UK markets
If you are a business based in the UK with an EU REACH registration, your registration will be legally recognised in UK REACH. However, you will need to take action to validate your grandfathered registration.
You will need to:
open an account on REACH IT once it is established and provide initial information on your registration within 120 days of the UK leaving the EU
provide full technical information on your registration within 2 years of the UK leaving the EU
Further information is provided on the HSE website: http://www.hse.gov.uk/brexit/reach.htm
UK-based downstream user or distributor of an EU REACH registered substance
If you currently purchase a chemical substance directly from an EU/EEAsupplier, you must make sure any substances you purchase are covered by a valid UK REACH registration by someone within your supply chain. In order to remain compliant by registering as an 'importer', you must:
open an account on REACH IT and provide initial information on your registration within 180 days of the UK leaving the EU
provide full technical information on your registration within 2 years of the UK leaving the EU.
Read the guidance on regulating chemicals if the UK leaves the EU without a deal: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/regulating-chemicals-reach-if-theres-no-brexit-deal/regulating-chemicals-reach-if-theres-no-brexit-deal and the chemical regulation guidance from HSE: http://www.hse.gov.uk/brexit/reach-guidance.htm
You might also have to take some actions if you deal with:
classifying, labelling and packaging chemicals: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/classifying-labelling-and-packaging-chemicals-if-theres-no-brexit-deal/classifying-labelling-and-packaging-chemicals-if-theres-no-brexit-deal

Participating in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS)
If the UK leaves the EU without a deal, then the EU rules governing the EU ETS would no longer apply to the UK.
Business emissions from 1 January 2019 onwards will no longer be covered by the EU ETS, so UK businesses would no longer need to surrender allowances for these emissions at the end of each year.
However, all stationary installations currently participating in the EU ETS should continue to comply with the regulations for the monitoring, reporting and verification of greenhouse gases. These regulations will underlie the new UK Carbon Emissions Tax.
The UK Carbon Emissions Tax will be introduced on 1 April 2019 and the reporting period for stationary operators will be 1 April 2019 to 31 December 2019. The 2019 tax will be set at £16 per tonne. Subject to state aid approval, the scheme to compensate energy-intensive industries for the indirect costs of the EU ETS would remain in place to compensate for the indirect emission costs of the new Carbon Emissions Tax.
Accounts administered by the UK in the EU ETS allowance registry and Kyoto Protocol registry will be blocked from the point of the UK leaving the EU. Operators wishing to retain access to their allowances after the withdrawal date should consider opening an account in another member state's registry for this purpose, and should consider the amount of time this is likely to take. Clean Development Mechanism project developers with a UK Letter of Authority will also need a letter of approval from a different Designated National Authority.
Until further notice, the UK government will not issue or auction any 2019 EU ETS allowances. It remains possible for allowances to be purchased through the European Energy Exchange (EEX) auction platform (http://www.eex.com/en/), and on the secondary market. Operators should consider this when planning to meet 2018 compliance obligations. To make sure your obligations will not be affected, the government brought forward the 2018 compliance year deadlines (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/bringing-forward-eu-emissions-trading-system-2018-compliance-deadlines-in-the-uk), published on 7 March 2018.

Personal buoyancy equipment on inland and inshore waters – water authority fined after death of employee
A water authority has been sentenced following the death of an employee.
The employee, who was a catchment operator, was working on the sand filtration unit of a waste water treatment works in 2013 when a colleague discovered him face down in water. He died at the scene having drowned.
The employee was last seen working on the top of the unit several hours before he was found by his colleague who was responding to the lone worker system. An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found the company failed to identify the risk of drowning with the maintenance activity which was undertaken by the employee and his colleagues on a regular basis.
The water authority pleaded guilty to breaching Section 2 (1) of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, was fined £1.8million and ordered to pay costs of £41,607.71.
Speaking after the hearing an HSE inspector said: "This tragic case could have been prevented if the company had reduced the size of the hatch used to access the sand filters, and properly considered the hazards of the operation, including how close [the employee] was to the water.
"[The employee] was exposed to the risk of drowning which could have been easily been controlled if the task had been properly planned and simple measures adopted earlier which [the water authority] failed to do so adequately."
Personal buoyancy equipment on inland and inshore waters
This information sheet (download free by clicking on the link http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/ais1.pdf) aims to improve safety for activities on inland or inshore waters.
It is specifically for establishments that are covered by the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 (HSW Act) and where HSE is the enforcing authority. These include fish farms, floating cage units, mussel rafts, farm or estate fisheries and similar activities.
The objective of this sheet is to reduce the number of accidental drownings to employees, employers, the self-employed and members of the public (including children).
It also covers:
selecting personal buoyancy equipment;
using and maintaining personal buoyancy equipment; and
operating automatic inflation mechanisms.

IN THIS UPDATE
Scrap and metal recycling – firm fined after fatality at waste recycling site
Tree work health and safety – college fined after tree felling injury
Construction work at height – company fined after carrying out dangerous window installation work eight-metres above a West End street
It's now 18 months since representatives from the waste management and recycling industry came together to form the Waste Industry Safety and Health (WISH) forum, their aim being to identify, devise and promote activities to improve industry health and safety standards. At the same time (2014/15), the waste industry was one of the few sectors witnessing a rise in incidents of fatal injuries, with 11 reported from April 2014 to March 2015. This was a 120% increase on the previous year. We open this week's update with HSE guidance on the topic, following news of a scrap metal recycling company being fined £120,000 plus £40,000 costs after the death of a worker.
Another industry classed as one of the most dangerous in Britain, is tree work. A college in Surrey has recently been fined £70,000 plus costs after a student was struck on the leg by a tree as it was being felled, so we're also sharing guidance this week on tree work health and safety.
And finally, after news of a window manufacturing and installation company being fined £36,000 after carrying out work in the West End of London with no measures to prevent the workers falling eight metres (and after dropping part of a window onto the public area below), we close this week's update with HSE guidance on working at height in construction.
A scrap metal recycling company based in Sheffield has been fined £120,000 plus £40,000 costs for safety failings after a worker was killed when he was hit in the head by an exploding gas cylinder.
Sheffield Crown Court heard how the worker, aged 55, was working at the recycling site in June 2009 when a pressurised gas cylinder was put through a shearing machine causing it to explode. A large section of the cylinder hit him in the head causing fatal injuries.
An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found a number of safety failures by the recycling company. They had no effective health and safety management system in place and failed to adequately assess the risks involved with processing different types of scrap material. The company also failed to put in place a range of measures to reduce the risks, for example by providing a blast wall.
After the hearing, HSE inspector Kirsty Storer commented: "Companies processing different materials should have good, documented systems to ensure materials such as pressurised cylinders are sorted and dealt with correctly. Workers also need to be properly trained and supervised.
"In addition where safeguards are provided they need to be well maintained, and an assessment should be carried out to determine any additional precautions that might be required, such as a pit or blast wall."
Scrap and metal recycling
The greater part of the scrap and metal recycling industry processes ferrous and non ferrous metal scrap into vital secondary raw material for the smelting of new metals.
The scrap and metal recycling industry has consistently had a poor fatal accident rate for several years.
The main risks include (click on the links for more information):
Workplace transport: http://www.hse.gov.uk/waste/transport.htm
Transport related lifting operations: http://www.hse.gov.uk/workplacetransport/
Falls from height: http://www.hse.gov.uk/work-at-height/

Mechanical lifting operations: http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/waste11.htm
Machinery issues: http://www.hse.gov.uk/waste/machinery.htm
The main Trade Associations dealing with this industry include the British Metals Recycling Association (BMRA) and the Motor Vehicle Dismantlers Association
End of Life Vehicles (ELV)
The introduction of the End of Life Vehicle Regulations has resulted in a significant change to the make up of the scrap industry as every vehicle scrapped now has to be de-polluted and waste materials accounted for.
For more information see Motor vehicle dismantling (http://www.hse.gov.uk/waste/dismantling.htm).
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
This is a rapidly growing and highly specialised part of the metals recycling industry. Large household appliances (e.g. ovens, fridges, washing machines) make up over 40% of WEEE but there are large volumes of other equipment such as IT equipment (mainly computers), televisions (cathode ray tube and flat screen), small household appliances (e.g. kettles and hair dryers), electrical tools, digital watches, electronic toys and medical devices.
Such items contain a wide variety of materials e.g. an average TV contains 6% metal and 50% glass, whereas a cooker is 89% metal and only 6% glass. Other materials found include plastics, ceramics and precious metals.
For more information see Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment recycling (http://www.hse.gov.uk/waste/waste-electrical.htm).
Disposal of aerosols
Each year the UK uses around 600 million aerosols, which is equivalent to about ten cans per person. With approximately 65 per cent of aerosols made from tin-plated steel, and the rest from high-grade aluminium and this represents almost 30,000 tonnes of reclaimable metal that can be recycled each year.
Householders should only put empty used aerosols in can banks or kerbside collections. They should not be segregated or concentrated into batches as the best safest way for consumers to recycle aerosol cans is to mix in with other metal waste – this serves to 'dilute' the proportion of aerosols in the total mix. Householders should not pierce or squash aerosol cans before disposal.
Many local authorities are successfully including collection of aerosols in their kerbside or mixed waste collection schemes.
For mixed waste processed at a Material Recycling Facility (MRF), as far as is possible, only aerosols derived from the domestic waste stream should be handled by the MRF. At the MRF aerosols can be baled, flattened or shredded but this must only be done where appropriate precautions are in place
The British Aerosol Manufacturers Association (BAMA) provides guidance on the collection and processing of "empty" or "near empty" cans by local authorities when processed through MRFs. Advice on the recycling of empty post-consumer aerosols (http://www.bama.co.uk/pdf/recycling_post_consumer.pdf) recovered through MRFs is available on the BAMA website.
When disposing of full or partly full aerosol canisters in bulk then they need to be treated as hazardous waste and disposed of safely. It is also recommended that aerosols from the commercial waste stream be directed to specialist recycling facilities
Further guidance on the safe disposal of aerosols can be found in the following sources (click on the links for more information):

Scrap Metal Dealer Licence Applications
Under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 and related Regulations local authorities (councils) are responsible for determining the suitability of applicants and issuing of scrap metal dealers licences.
Information on health and safety enforcement action, both prosecutions and enforcement notices is publically available on HSE's Register of prosecutions and notices (http://www.hse.gov.uk/enforce/prosecutions.htm) should councils wish to consider health and safety offences as part of the application.
HSE will not routinely respond to requests from councils about applicants.

A college in Surrey has been fined £70,000 plus costs after a student was struck on the leg by a tree as it was being felled.
Redhill Magistrates' Court heard how the campus supervisor at the college instructed an employee and part of the estates team, to take two work experience students to fell a tree.
While the tree was being cut two students arrived to observe the operation. The falling tree hit one of the students who was observing, causing fractures to one of his legs.
An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive into the incident, which occurred in May 2015, found that there was insufficient training given to fell the tree competently. There was inadequate supervision and the risk assessments were not sufficient and had not been followed.
Tree work health and safety
HSE's Tree Work website allows those involved in forestry and arboriculture both high risk industries to find sector specific information on health and safety quickly.
It is most relevant to Arborists, tree surgeons and forestry workers and will help you find essential information and guidance on good practice including training and PPE which are essential.

A company which manufactured and installed windows has been fined £36,000 after carrying out work in the West End of London with no measures to prevent the workers falling eight metres and after dropping part of a window onto the public area below.
Westminster Magistrates' Court heard the company carried out window installation work at a property on Park Street, London, in January 2015 that put their workers and members of the public at risk of suffering serious injuries or a fatality.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) carried out an investigation into the work after a member of the public provided photos of workers leaning out of window openings eight meters above the ground. They also provided a video showing the workers dropping part of a window which fell to the ground and missed a nearby pedestrian.
The company had failed to provide equipment such as scaffolding which would have prevented the workers and window falling. None of the workers had received any formal training and no one was appointed to supervise the work.
The risks associated with the work had not been sufficiently assessed. The court heard the company had failed to invest in equipment for working at height and had a health and management system which relied entirely on the company's managing director, despite his lack of relevant training and experience.
The work was halted when HSE served a Prohibition Notice (PN). The court heard the company had previously been given advice by HSE in connection with work at height and that an audit by their bank had previously identified a range of relevant health and safety failings. The court heard that neither written warning was heeded by the firm.

Q: Products, coproducts and equalizers in category of lattices Background: Let $\mathbf{Lat}$ be the 2-category of lattices which can be viewed as a subcategory of the 2-cateogry of posets $\mathbf{Pos}$, that is, objects in $\mathbf{Pos}$ that have all finite products and coproducts (a.k.a meets and joins in lattice-speak); we may or may not require 2-morphisms in $\mathbf{Lat}$ to preserve meets and joins (i.e continuous and cocontinuous).
I am considering (what I call) cellular sheaves valued in lattices which are just functors $F: X \rightarrow \mathbf{Lat}$ where $X$ is the face relation poset of a cell complex. In order to do "sheaf theory" with sheaves valued in $\mathbf{Lat}$, it would be nice to have a notion of a coproduct and product in this category. I think product is fairly clear: just use the product partial order; meets and joins are what you think they would be.
As far as a coproduct, I am not sure.
If anyone has any suggestions? I have heard of a "free product of lattices" but it is not defined in a language I can understand. Not even clear to me that the "free product" that Gratzer defines is unique.
By "sheaf theory", I mainly mean taking limits and colimits over all the stalks. Another property I would like (or like to know doesn't hold) is the existence of all equalizers and (maybe if coproducts exist) coequalizers which would guarantee the existence of all small (co)limits. That would be lovely.
In general, looking for references on lattice theory, "non-abelian" sheaf theory, or anything about categories and lattice theory.
Thanks in advance!

A: I'm not sure about sheaf theory, but limits and colimits in categories of lattices are routine to construct. You just have to be clear about your categorical setup. Consider the following categories:

*

*$sLat^{\vee}$, the category of posets with $(\vee,\bot)$ and morphisms which preserve these.

*$Lat$, the category of posets with $(\vee,\wedge,\bot,\top)$ and morphisms which preserve these.

*$DistLat$ the full subcategory of $Lat$ on the lattices where $\wedge$ distributes over $\vee$.

*...
and variants like

*

*$Lat^{unbbd}$, the category of posets with $(\vee,\wedge)$ and morphisms which preserve these.

*$Lat^{\uparrow bdded}$, the category of posets with $(\vee,\wedge,\top)$ and morphisms which preserve these.

*...
In each case, we have a variety in the sense of universal algebra, i.e. a category where an object is a set with some $n$-ary functions on it satisfying some universal equations (note that the poset structure can be recovered from $\vee$ or $\wedge$) and morphisms being functions which commute with all the functions. Other examples are categories like groups, rings, etc.
In any such category $\mathcal C$, one has all limits and colimits. They can be constructed in the following way. There is a forgetful functor $U: \mathcal C \to Set$. This functor has a left adjoint $F: Set \to \mathcal C$, which just sends a set to the set of all words in the function symbols, quotiented by the universal relations that hold in objects of $\mathcal C$. For example in the case of groups, $F(X)$ is the free group on the set $X$.
This adjunction $F \dashv U$ yields a monad $UF: Set \to Set$ from which the category $\mathcal C$ can be recovered as the category of algebras. Limits and colimits can be constructed in a standard way. For limits, take the limit of the underlying sets and extend the functions in the obvious way. Colimits are a bit more complicated, but you can read about them here. Filtered colimits, though, are easy -- just take the colimit of the underlying sets and extend the operations in the obvious way (these are what you need to compute stalks). Reflexive coequalizers are likewise computed at the level of the underlying sets. The trickiest class of colimits are coproducts. The coproduct $\amalg_i C_i$ is constructed by taking $F(\amalg_i U(C_i))$ and quotienting by an equivalence relation (for instance, the coproduct of groups is the free amalgam). Alternative descriptions may be available depending on $C$ -- for example see here.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: This was a pilot study to explore the diagnostic accuracy and safety of subtraction CTA combined with a single-energy metal artifact reduction algorithm (SEMAR) compared to DSA for the evaluation of intracranial aneurysm occlusion after flow diverter treatment.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We included patients treated with a flow diverter for an unruptured intracranial aneurysm between November 2015 and November 2016. The patient cohort comprised 2 groups: those who underwent follow-up imaging 1 month after flow-diverter treatment and those with a known residual intracranial aneurysm after flow diverter treatment who underwent imaging at regular follow-ups. Full-brain subtraction CTA was performed on a 320–detector row CT system. A low-dose non-enhanced volume acquisition was followed by a contrast-enhanced volume CTA. Iterative and noise-reduction filters, SEMAR, and SURESubtraction algorithms were applied. DSA was performed on a flat panel C-arm angiography system. Standard posteroanterior, lateral, 3D, and detailed 2D acquisitions were performed. Imaging was independently scored by 2 clinicians. Aneurysm occlusion (Raymond scale) was our primary outcome parameter.
RESULTS: Thirteen intracranial aneurysms were evaluated with subtraction CTA and DSA. Nine aneurysm remnants were demonstrated by both subtraction CTA and DSA. The sensitivity and specificity of subtraction CTA for the detection of aneurysm occlusion were 100% (95% CI, 82.41%–100%) and 100% (95% CI, 67.55%–100%), respectively. Agreement between readers was perfect (κ = 1.0). The smallest neck remnant detected on subtraction CTA was 1.2 mm. No complications occurred.
CONCLUSIONS: Subtraction CTA with single-electron metal artifact reduction is effective in the reduction of metal artifacts of flow diverters and might therefore be a viable alternative in the assessment of intracranial aneurysm occlusion after flow diverter treatment.

Q: Backbone.js model.save() function unsuccessful I am newbie at Backbone and REST api. Here is my save function code:
 this.model.save(this.model.attributes,
        {
            success: function (model) {
                app.menuItems.add(model);
                app.navigate('/w/backbone/', {trigger: true});
            }
        }
    );

and here is my model:
 var MenuItem = Backbone.Model.extend({
urlRoot: '/w/backbone/rest/items',
idAttribute: 'taskId',
defaults: {
    category: 'Entreés',
    imagepath: 'no-image.jpg',
    name: ''
}
 });

and here is my restful Api POST function :
 function items_post()
 {
    // add an existing user and respond with a status/errors
    $array=array(
                'item_id'=>$this->post('id'),
                'item_url'=>$this->post('url'),
                'item_name'=>$this->post('name'),
                'item_category'=>$this->post('category'),
                'imagepath'=>$this->post('imagepath')
        );
    $this->main_model->add_item($array);
 }

A: At the very least your API call needs to return the id of the newly created model and any attributes that were changed by the server.

Movie Review: Chehre: You can miss it! **½
1967th BLOG POST
Since I had heard about the movie "Chehre" in its pre-production phase, I was very excited about it as Amitabh Bachchan and Emraan Hashmi were to work for the first time together. I always find Emraan's movies little different in terms of how he projects his character or the type of stories he selects. There's a mystery into it which keeps you very close to the dark subjects. Chehre also falls somewhere in the same category but this movie is not all about him. Amitabh Bachchan and Annu Kapoor also plays important and mysterious characters which keeps the surprise element intact for most of the times.
The movie is about how this group of friends (where there's a retired judge and two advocates) try to get someone at their home and then start a game where they identify a mistake or crime committed by the guest and then try to punish him/her accordingly in the same Courtroom procedure. The same thing happens with Emraan Hashmi and the moment you realize that he has committed something criminal in his past makes you excited as to how it will be unfolded without any evidences or proof available with this group of friends. Amitabh Bachchan, as a prosecutor, plays his part very well to make everything sound and look believable. Though, the dialogues and some charges look forced but then, that's how faulty the script of the movie is.
The story, screenplay or the idea behind this movie must have surely sounded great on papers in black ink but when adapted into the movie, there are few scenes which looks intense but mostly, you will have a grin on your face in terms of what circus is happening on the screen. The whole premise is interesting, but the movie keeps losing its suspense and authenticity from time to time. The movie also takes us into the flashback where we get to meet Krystle D'Souza and Sameer Soni. Krystle's presence makes the screen beautiful and charms up the whole serious tone of the movie. As one of her big opportunities on the big screen, she has done extremely well. Sameer Soni has just overacted his part.
Later, in the pre-climax, Amitabh Bachchan has a very long monologue which I was expecting right from the beginning because when you subscribe with an actor who's baritone voice is the best in the business, you would want to include something like this in your plot – and moreover when your premise allows it. But unfortunately, the performance and dialogue delivery by Bachchan is superb and unbeatable, the content of the monologue is just not relatable to what had been shown to us in the 2 hours. After a time, you start wishing it to end soon even after it's Big B who's speaking it. And talking about the climax, the superficial scene was just too funny to say anything about it.
Overall, Chehre is a kind of movie if you miss – you lose nothing. It isn't the best of either of the big actors – either Amitabh Bachchan, Annu Kapoor or Emraan Hashmi. I give this 2.5 stars out of 5.

Hi I have been running Norton Security successfully for several months on my MacBook Air. Now ,last 2 weeks)the live update is mostly in red and Security in red. Clicking the Fix now button makes no difference.
I have shutdown 3/4 times and no difference. Help? It is annoying and frustrating - any common experiences and ideas most welcome.
Could you please provide a screenshot of the Norton Security main user interface?
Steps to post an image in forum comment: How to post an image in the forums.
Had that problem before and the only way i could fixed was to use my backup.
What i do is to put Sierra on first and backup my computer and then install nortons and do a backup only if norton went on correctly.
When you have one of the problems that nortons have you can get back on quickly with this backup.
