AA Architects: the numbers 2020
By Ramatoulie S. Muhammed, Katherine Williams
I met up with Katherine Williams this year after working together on the Riding the Vortex session for Architecture Exchange East. My section of the talk focused on understanding the numbers in terms of representation and experiences of African American (AA) architects, with a focus on the experiences of women, and those working within the state of Virginia.
After giving my presentation, Katherine asked if I would be interested in helping her put together the data on AA architects for 2020. I was excited to be asked, due to Katherine's prestige in the field in general and her work specifically with the Black Women in Architecture Brunch, Riding the Vortex, her published works, and (many) blogs.
As I write this at the beginning of February 2021, we have to reflect on what a landmark year 2020 was for African-Americans across the country, and how we've seen race brought up in a deliberate way that many saw as taboo before. The protests against racial justice (which continue to this day) opened up conversations and narratives that were previously unheard of within the profession, with multiple firms and organizations expressing their condemnation for racism and support for the AA community.
While these conversations and statements are relevant and essential partnerships, it is important now as architecture professionals that we hold these companies and organizations accountable. I believe in SMART goals, which stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely, with an emphasis on Measurable. In my experience, a lot of the knowledge that architects have regarding the state of diversity and representation in the field is purely anecdotal, and not reflective of the actual numbers and data. Everyone's lived experience is valid, but we can only move forward if we face the sobering reality of our situation.
Another critical element is the rapid and destructive spread of COVID-19 in the United States. The effects of this virus have been felt in architecture in the form of lost loved ones, shuttered offices, massive layoffs, furloughs, closed universities, canceled licensure exams, and the list goes on. The financial effect on many firms has been severe, with the Architecture Billings Index (ABI) remaining below 50 from March 2020 through December 2020. And these factors exist on top of the AA workers being hit especially hard by higher unemployment rates, wage gaps, and health risks.

Registered Architects
But what has the result been for AA as a group? According to the data from the Directory of African American Architects (DAA), there are currently 2378 registered blacks architects in the U.S. This is compared to a total of 116,242 architects in the country, which means only 2% of registered architects are African American. This number is consistent with previous years, with no change from 2019. This is hardly surprising, given the addition of only 73 AA Architects this past year, compared to the nearly 4,000 people that completed their licensure exams in 2020 in the country.
Architecture Experience Program (AXP)
Next, we'll look at how architecture firms are helping AA gain professional experience in preparation for becoming licensed architects. NCARB and NOMA have just released their Baseline on Belonging Report, Phase 2, which highlights the experiences of the different racial demographics through the AXP in America. Some of their findings highlight several pain points for those specifically trying to gain a variety of experience opportunities within their firm.
In terms of the timelines of the AXP program, the report found that white candidates both started and completed the program before other demographics, however, they do take longer to finish the program than other demographics in between that time. Additionally, AA respondents within the report were 7% less likely to agree that finding a firm that was supportive of their AXP process at the entry-level and 4% less likely at the mid-level of their careers.

Architecture Registration Exam
There have been numerous challenges for ARE candidates this year, including changes to the exam format itself, which led many to postpone their exams, especially towards the end of the year. Also, with the early stages of COVID, there were test center closures across the country with little or no warning, sometimes due to overall test center closures, but also due to last-minute cancellations to ensure social distancing.
ARE Completion rates for African-Americans have remained at 2% every year since 2011. This is compared to an increase in the same period for Asian candidates from 11% to 12% and a decrease for White candidates from 82% to 79%.

It is clear that this milestone in the retention of African-American Architects is critical, as we see from the number of ARE Starts is at 4% and ARE Completions is at 2%, a statistic which is consistent with those who go on to become licensed. This shows that we are losing at least half of our potential AA architects during the ARE Examination phase, and more than half of those who start the AXP process (5%).
Seventy-three architects being added to the DAA is a big achievement compared to the previous year. It brings the number back to the trend of 2015-2018. This is despite all of the roadblocks 2020 put in front of people as it pertains to having access to resources and being able to take exams.
Chart by Katherine Williams
However, we should not rest on this. Increasing the percentage of African American architects by just 1% would require another 1,100 licensed AA architects. We can't wait 15 years (1,100/70 per year) for that. Targeted efforts to get students into accredited architecture degree programs, ensure they matriculate and have viable internships, provide jobs for them to graduate into, mentor along the career path, and support through the licensure process are all needed.
The effort needed will require the buy-in of all of the entities that have an imprint on the careers of US architects. This includes the high schools, universities, NAAB, NCARB, AIA, NOMA, and architecture firms large and small. Some ongoing efforts to help increase representation include:
The NOMA Foundation Fellowship – A fellowship created in partnership with the AIA Large Firm Roundtable, providing up to 20 fellowships with stipends. The Summer 2021 Summer Cohort is now open for applications for interested students.
The NOMA 50×50 Challenge, which aims to create 50 newly licensed architects by the NOMA conference in October 2021. This challenge is a partnership with Black Spectacles, an NCARB accredited ARE test-prep provider to provide 50 seats per month of their ARE 5.0 Prep Expert package.
Project Pipeline National Camp – National Virtual Summer Camps hosted by NOMA National and NOMA Chapters providing opportunities for 6th to 12th graders to gain an introduction to the fields of architecture & design.
In its fourth year, the Desiree Cooper ARE scholarship, provided financial support to four exam takers.
After tracking the data for over ten years, we are finally seeing efforts to address multiple prongs of the issue to increase the population of African American architects. Now is the time to quickly evaluate their progress and scale what works so we can move forward with the momentum that 2020 and 2012 has presented to us.

Meatball, Mushroom and Barley Soup, Soup's On! March, is our soup month, if you are one of my regular followers you already are aware we are spending our first year anniversary month by celebrating. We are honoring one of the most comforting, warming, satisfying dishes…Soup. In todays soup, thyme seasoned meatballs are cooked in a thick barley, mushroom broth. This combination makes for a hearty, delicious meal on any cold day. To speed things along while making this soup, make the meatball mixture while sauté the vegetable base.
And if those lovely meatballs are dropped into the boiling broth instead being fried, you gain even more time and keep the soup lighter.
Enjoy all the Soups this month of March, and try this scrumptious Meatball, Mushroom and Barley Soup, Soup's On!
Meatball, Mushroom and Barley Soup, Soup's On!
In a large soup pot, add the olive oil and crushed garlic, lightly brown the garlic then add the leeks, stir and sauté a few minutes until the leeks start to soften, add the celery, mushrooms and carrots, stir together. On a low heat let the vegetables continue to cook while you make your meatball mixture.
Begin making little meatballs, size to your liking,( mine were walnut sized) and drop them into the soup. The meatballs will cook along with the vegetables and barley. Add the parsley.
Once the soup comes to a boil, turn the heat to a low simmer and cook for at least 1 hour to 1 1/2. The soup will be ready when the vegetables and barley are soft and the soup has thickened, adjust salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
See more soups you might enjoy, March is our Soup Month!


The exhibit tells the story of Paul Bayer, who was inducted into the Hitler Youth at age 10 and died at age 17 in Nuremberg.
The exhibit, which is shown on a series of photo panels, documents both the rise of the Hitler Youth and the indoctrination of one boy, Paul Bayer, who was inducted into the organization at age 10 and died in 1943, at age 17, after he was ordered to man an anti-aircraft position in Nuremberg.
The exhibit, which is a collaboration of the Florida Holocaust Museum, the Holocaust Museum Houston and the Nuremberg Documentation Center, shows the rise of the Hitler Youth, which lured children and their parents by taking children on camping excursions. While other youth organizations were outlawed, the Hitler Youth organization sprouted a number of clubs that would eventually serve the military's purposes, including a Hitler Youth Signal Corps, motorcycle units, a Hitler Youth glider program and shooting and marksmanship contests.
" 'Tempted. Misled. Slaughtered. The Short Life of Hitler Youth Paul B.' is an exhibition that shows the way young people may be misled by propaganda and false ideals created by the adults. The notions of friendship, belonging and loyalty can be easily manipulated with and changed to serve the wrong cause, the cause supporting hatred, prejudice, racism," said Urszula Szczepinska, curator of education at the Florida Holocaust Museum in St. Petersburg, Fla.
The exhibit can be seen in the Lake Nona Campus library, located on the third floor of the campus. The exhibit will be on display from Feb. 1 through March 30.
The League of German Girls, the girls' wing of the Hitler Youth, was the only girls' organization legally permitted to operate in Germany from 1933 to 1945.
On Mar. 1 at 7 p.m., the campus will host a public reception for the exhibit. The campus will be open and light refreshments will be available.
Valencia's Lake Nona Campus is located at 12350 Narcoossee Road, Orlando, FL 32832.
For more information about the exhibit or the reader's theater production, please contact Jackie Starren at jstarren@valenciacollege.edu or 407-582-7001.


You know the rest of the saying, and what started out as a not-so-great experience had, by Friday, August 16, turned into a very good thing that was about to come to an end. But in keeping with the tradition of saving the best for last, there was plenty of fun packed into our last day at sea.
We slept late then hit the main dining room for the sea day brunch. I stuck with my tried-and-true egg white omelet, but this time I did indulge in a couple of croissants. This was my first time to dine in traditional cruise fashion, seated at a large round table with a bunch of people we didn't know.
I wasn't sure how I felt about that, but it turned out to be an interesting conversation since one of the ladies at our table had been on the Triumph's so-called "cruise from hell" the previous February. It seemed telling that here she was, on another Carnival cruise. And her story contradicted much of what I'd heard in the mainstream media from passengers who were obviously looking to cash in with a lawsuit.
The experience she recounted sounded a lot more realistic. Sure, passengers were inconvenienced but she described it as "like camping out in the ocean." According to her, there was never really a shortage of food, the overflowing toilets that were the subject of so many news stories were only here and there, and she felt the compensation she received – a full refund, a free future cruise and $500 – was reasonable for her trouble.
After breakfast, we hit the promenade deck to check out the last-day sales at the shops, where Sharon ended up buying a watch for herself and I snagged a "blingy" one for Tom. I also ordered my Sheridan to be delivered to the room that evening and bought some rum cakes to take home.
A surprise (for me) feature of the last day was the chocolate buffet. I'm a sucker for good chocolate, and they had some seriously good chocolate concoctions that day. I had been good (calorie-wise) all week, so I was giving myself this one diet to totally break the diet – and I couldn't have picked a better day for it. The challenge was choosing which to try.
I'm afraid my eyes were bigger than my stomach, as I couldn't eat all I got – but I did get a taste of each, and they tasted as good as they looked.
We did a light lunch on the Lido deck (I needed something to get that sweet taste out of my mouth). They had spanokopita, which I love, so I couldn't pass that by although, again, I wasn't able to finish it all.
Later that afternoon, we went to deck 4 to look for our photos from the evening before. I hadn't had professional photos taken of me since the early 1990s, so I couldn't resist. I bought a bunch.
Since it was the last day, we spent some time packing our bags so they would be ready to put out for the porters, before getting dressed to head to the Steak House specialty restaurant for our farewell dinner. In this regard, we definitely did save the best for last. Service was wonderful, the atmosphere was magnificent and the food was fantastic. We got a window table (without even asking) and got to see the sun setting over the sea as we dined. It doesn't get much better than that.
I had already perused the menu, which is posted just outside the restaurant, earlier in the week, so I thought I knew what I wanted – but once again, choosing between several delicious-sounding appetizers and entrees wasn't easy.
However, when I found out the listing for "grilled fillet of fish from the market" was, in fact, Chilean Sea Bass, there was no contest. I ordered that, along with the New England Crab Cake as an appetizer and creamed spinach as a side dish. Sharon – who had wisely been eating what she wanted all week and didn't feel the need to gorge on the last day – chose the surf and turf (and gave me her lobster – score!) with a baked potato and a Caesar salad.
Before our orders were delivered, though, we were treated to the most yummy rosemary bread, along with tiny "chef's surprises." That bread was so good that we both had to hold ourselves back from filling up on it completely before dinner came. I confess that I am a bread aficionado, and this was right up there with the best I've ever tasted.
The appetizers came next, and my crab was somewhat small (which was actually a good thing) but tasty, whereas Sharon's salad was huge.
The real fun began, though, with the entrees. My sea bass and Sharon's donated lobster tail were both done just right. The creamed spinach was also very good.
Sharon seemed to enjoy her filet mignon, and her potato was, again, enormous. She didn't finish it, but she said it was good.
We weren't quite done yet, though. The $35 per person charge for the Steak House also includes dessert. And the desserts offered by the Steak House on the Magic are nothing short of magical. Sharon got the chocolate sampler, made up of four small cups of different layered sweet-tooth-satisfiers, and I got the hazelnut cheesecake, a slice of which was equivalent to half of a normal cake. Together, we only polished off about 1/3 of it, but what a taste sensation.
That night, I paid for overdoing it; for the first time in all our days at sea, I woke up in the middle of the night feeling a little nauseous, and I don't think I can blame it on sea sickness. Luckily, it passed pretty quickly, and it in no way undid what had happened to me over the previous week: I had turned into a confirmed cruise junkie.
The next morning, debarkation went smoothly and we were soon back on the road to DFW. It was great to get home and see my three spinning Chins, who were thrilled to see me, and to fill my husband in on all the details of my adventure (though he, and many of my 600+ friends, had been following along on my Facebook posts and cruising vicariously through me).
I was convincing enough that he told me to go ahead and sign us up for a cruise together, and it just so happened that my cousin, her two sisters and their husbands were all planning to go on a 5 day sailing in October. Wanting to be sure he enjoyed himself, I booked us a suite, and we started counting down the days.

Alan Kempster has reportedly passed away - unsure of the details but have seen it popping up on FaceBook via reliable sources. A google search does not return anything as yet.
Alan lost both an arm and a leg in an motorbike accident in 1990 but he kept on racing against able-bodied competitors and his pace was remarkable given he was missing 2 limbs and would not be able to grip the tank under brakes - which was, according to a doco I watched, probably his greatest limitation as he could not brake as hard as he would like. He had a sense of humour and raced with the number 1/2 as he jokingly referred to himself as half a man (or arfer man as per his front fairing).
His Nephew on Facebook is saying he passed in his sleep.
When applying for his racing licence, an official asked him what happens if he crashes and breaks an arm or a leg, he replied "I've got 50% less chance of breaking an arm or a leg."
Hmmmm maybe he was really twice the man.

So I saw a guy the other night that looks just like from the profile. I think it was mostly his lips and nose that stopped me in my tracks. God it hurt to see him. He had blue eyes though and seeing them helped-- a little-- to not bawl my eyes out. My heart sank and I wanted you so badly. As we were leaving I said to Jena "What do you do when you see a complete stranger and all you want to do is run up and kiss him because he looks just like your husband?" She replied with "Um, you made the right decision by walking away." I'm sure that is true, haha. I wish I could kiss you again.
i started reading your blog a couple weeks ago but i can only read it on occasion. i just wanted to let you know that your story is heart wrenching and i cant even imagine what you have gone through. you and your family are in my prayers everyday . if you ever need someone to talk to or anything .. please let me know .
I just came across your story and your blog and must say that my heart goes out to you and your family on your loss. You and the kids are in my prayers and I will always remeber the first time I saw you and your children and how happy you all looked. Never loose that you guys are a great family and I know with this you will only get stronger. I wish the Marines/Command could have done more to save his life I am sure it was possible.
On another note if you are still in Jacksonville there is a great church that I attended while there. It is called River of Life on Gumbranch if you have not found a great church home yet pay them a visit and they will love all on you.
Sorry Ben, I used to have a great memory, but things are a little different now with my focus. If you are who I think you are then that was about 2 years ago when we did the walk through at the house? Those were much happier times in life and an exciting time as well. Thank you for the reccomendation. I have a wonderful church family at another church and 1 other with some great people there as well who really helped us through, especially in the beginning. I'm curious how you heard about it now, though? If you're not that Ben, then sorry.
I think I just stalked right through every post you've written. I'm so sorry for your loss (cliche, I'm sorry!). My husband just spoke at a memorial service for one of his Marines who took his own life last month. He had seen him just a few days before and he'll always regret not stopping to talk to him longer. To make sure he really was okay, given his issues. The loss of these men, like your husband is so tragic. It truly makes my heart hurt for them and their families.
Sorry if this made no sense or seems trite.
Thank you and I'm sorry to hear that it happened to someone else again. If he has a wife or anyone who may want to talk to me, please let me know.

How can I achieve this in php? please help. I tried in_array and array_key_exists to check existing id, but i can't make it.

A: See if this works for ya.
$results = array();

//loop through your array
foreach($yourArray as $row => $field) {

  //check if "id" is already set and store the index value it exist within
  $existing_index = NULL;
  foreach($results as $result_row => $result_field) {
    if ($result_field['id'] == $field['id']) {
      $existing_index = $result_row;
      break;
    }
  }

  if (isset($existing_index)) {
    //the "id" already exist, so add to the existing id
    $dataArrayIndex = count($results[$existing_index]['dataArray']);
    $results[$existing_index]['dataArray'][$dataArrayIndex]['name'] = $field['name'];
    $results[$existing_index]['dataArray'][$dataArrayIndex]['address'] = $field['address'];
  }
  else {

July 1, 2020 James Osborne, CFP®
It's clear that 2020 will be a year for the history books. In February we were setting record market highs and economic activity continued its long, slow and steady growth out of the financial crisis over a decade removed. And then of course we were smacked in the face by one of the steepest declines in market prices and economic activity on record. Add in a healthy dose of social unrest, protests and demonstrations and we've had a decade of history in six months.
All I can think of lately is just how unsettled everything feels in the world today. How long will we be dealing with public health consequences of the coronavirus? How bad will the near and long-term impacts be of the shutdown, social distancing and restricted movement be on the economy? How long will the retail and service industries suffer? When can twenty million Americans go back to work? How will we come to terms with social injustices, racism and division in our nation? What is going to happen in the upcoming election cycle, and what are the consequences to all of the above?
It's easy to look and feel very uncertain, very unsettled about the world. This thought comes with an underlying myth: that at some point, everything will suddenly feel settled and certain. The only thing that is every settled is history (and that may be a matter of perspective!). The future is never settled, never certain, never without a haze lying over it. The past feels settled to us because it is behind us. But even that settled past was in no way easy, clear or certain while we went through it. The outcome of a war, an election, a protest, a recession; these things were always scary, unsettling, uncertain and foggy in the moment. And so, today is as well. Let's not kid ourselves that there will be some future moment when we can see ahead clearly. There's a reason it is called "clairvoyance" and a reason that we leave it up to carnival booths and roadside attractions.
After a terrifying 6 weeks to end the first quarter, global markets bounced back aggressively in April and May once we collectively decided that the world was not coming to an end. Across US and international stocks, large and small, developed and emerging markets, stocks rallied in the second quarter. Over longer periods, most markets are behind large cap US stocks, which continue to lead returns. Bonds have also performed well, with gains of 8.74% over the last year and 5.27% over three years.
It is quite the understatement to say that it was a difficult economic environment in the last quarter. The broad shutdown enacted in an effort to slow to spread of the coronavirus had sharp and immediate impacts.
Unemployment shot through the roof in March, reaching levels so high they appear unrealistic. Initial claims hit nearly 7,000,000 and have since tapered somewhat, but still remain very high.
The unemployment rate almost touched 15% immediately after the shutdown and has come off that high just slightly as millions of Americans remain out of work. The BLS reported on June 5th that employment grew by 2.5 million and the rate fell to 13.3% in May. This rate is an increase of 9.8% of pre-coronavirus levels in February.
With the drop in employment, it is no surprise that personal income and spending have also fallen sharply. Personal income (exclusive of transfer payments including stimulus checks) has fallen back to 2017 levels, and is now showing signs of a modest recovery in May.
Personal spending follows a similar pattern with a dramatic fall as the economic shut down and a sharper recovery as retailers, restaurants and other establishments re-opened in the last few weeks.
Ripple effects of the shutdown are spreading throughout the economy as mortgage delinquencies rise and forbearance has increased in the last quarter. The number of borrowers more than 30 days late on mortgage payments reached its highest level since 2011 in May, with 4.3 million Americans now behind. These figures are likely to increases given the lagged nature of the data. It is worth noting that these delinquencies include borrowers who are taking advantage of forbearance programs agreed upon by lenders. Many borrowers are simply skipping payments because they have been allowed to do so.
Interest rates across the board have fallen and that includes mortgages. 30 year mortgage rates continue to flirt with all-time lows, with national rates falling under 3%.
After a quick decline in March and April, pending home sales have begun to recover. May showed a 44% increase in pending activity after the bottom in April, the biggest one-month change ever recorded.
Manufacturing industries were not spared by the shutdown in March and April either. Durable goods orders fell off a cliff into the shutdown but are beginning to show a recovery as well.
In sum, most of the data reflects a consistent story: a very sharp and sudden decline in economic activity, spending and household income as the shutdown was implemented. We're now seeing a quick turn back up in most measures, although we remain well below pre-shutdown levels of activity. Policy makers and health officials continue to try to walk the line between health consequences and economic recovery.

Q: Styling Vaadin text-area based on class name We have added global styles to Vaadin text areas in our app like this:
[part="input-field"] {
    background-color: rgba(245, 221, 191, 0.4) !important;
    border-radius: unset;
}

[part="value"] {
    color: black !important;
}

[part="value"]::after {
    color: black !important;
}

It works like a charm. It applies to all text-areas no matter what the classname we set since we use
@CssImport(value = "./styles/text-area.css", themeFor = "vaadin-text-area")

Now our users are very demanding when it comes to colors... They want this one field to have different background. Ive tried this (with classname and field id) but it doesnt have any effect and just applies the global styles anyways:
.hashtag-text-area [part="input-field"] {
    background-color: lightgray !important;
    border-radius: unset
}

I have also tried doing it in java with
area.getStyle().set(...)

but it changes the whole component and not just the part=value. The style just overlay and does not look like the bussiness wants it.
Im nowhere near being a front end developer thats why we use Vaadin.
Does anyone know how to get into the "part=value" of this specific field.
Do we have to give up on global styles and just rely on classnames and duplicate it X number of times for Z number of text areas so we can add classname-specific style?
Am i doing something wrong here?
This is how the html looks:

A: Nowadays browsers have part selector, so you can do most of the things in your global styles. So you do not need import specific style module for vaadin-text-area, instead just do something like this:
.hashtag-text-area::part(input-field) {
    background-color: lightgray !important;
    border-radius: unset
}

A: did you try these?
:host(.hashtag-text-area) [part="input-field"] ::slotted(textarea) {
    background-color: lightgray !important;
    border-radius: unset;
}

in your ./styles/text-area.css
or in your common styles.css without the :host
.hashtag-text-area [part="input-field"] ::slotted(textarea) {
    background-color: lightgray !important;
    border-radius: unset;
}

Q: Error when copying vector bool to CUDA memory I encountered a compilation error where copying a bool vector to cuda memory will fail
bool *gpu;

cudaMalloc(reinterpret_cast<void **>(&gpu), 100);

std::vector<bool> cpu(100);

for(int i=0;i<100;i++){
  cpu[i]=true;
}

cudaMemcpy(gpu, cpu.data(), 100*sizeof(bool), cudaMemcpyHostToDevice);

It returns
error: invalid use of void expression cudaMemcpyHostToDevice);

but the same code with a float vector will compile.
float *gpu;

cudaMalloc(reinterpret_cast<void **>(&gpu), 100);

std::vector<float> cpu(100);

for(int i=0;i<100;i++){
  cpu[i]=i;
}

cudaMemcpy(gpu, cpu.data(), 100*sizeof(float), cudaMemcpyHostToDevice);

Why is this happening?

A: vector<bool> is a mistake from C++98 that we cannot get rid of (at least in terms of occupying the name). The standard recommends that it keeps the storage as a space-optimized representation of bits and that's what most implementations do.
You can work around this by using vector<uint8_t> instead.

This is my "take two" of Michel Richard's Torte Milanese recipe. I did the first take last fall, when we prepared Richard's homemade puff recipe and did other stuff with it. Pictures of that version were lost, unfortunately, and were never to be seen again, except perhaps by the hackers who encrypted them a few weeks later. Hope those bastards got hungry.
The only silver lining to all that mess is that I was encouraged to make this tasty torte, which is a full meal of layered scrambled eggs, cheese, veggies and meat encased in puff pastry, again. And I got to play around with it a little this time. I used chard in lieu of spinach for the greens, I left out the ham layer and instead crisped up some bacon and cooked them into the scrambled eggs, which I flavored with the herbs I had on hand (thyme and basil), and I used a mix of cheddar and Swiss cheeses. Even my roasted red pepper layer was actually a combo of red and yellow ones. I would say that the puff stayed the same, except I used store-bought instead of homemade this time. Its savory, salty (in a good way) and very filling. Plus, the tall slices look great with all those layers of good stuff.
The recipe says to bake the torte at 350°, but I don't think puff pastry bakes well that low, so I started it at 400° and turned it down at the halfway point for the rest of the bake.
Michel Richard is a chef with a sense of humor. Case in point, these cute Sunny-Side Up Apricot Pastries. At first glance, they're fried eggs on toast. At first bite, they're poached fruit and pastry cream on top of crispy puff pastry.
Before you can have these for breakfast (or for dessert, if you are like I am and this is too much to process in the morning), you have to make pastry cream and poach fruit. I'd take care of these a day in advance. You also have to deal with the puff pastry situation and decide if you are going to buy it or make it. I've worked in restaurant and bakery kitchens for more than 10 years now…while not every place I've worked has made puff from scratch, a few of them have, so I've laminated me some dough. Frankly, it can be a pain in the neck (literally). On a large scale, those of us with no upper body strength (who me?) struggle to roll a ginormous batch by hand if there isn't a dough sheeter. If the kitchen's too hot, butter oozes everywhere. It's often a rush-job because no one bothers to mention that they took the last sheets from the freezer and left me with nothing for the day's production. But, I've made this very puff pastry dough recipe at home before–I actually chose it several years ago when I hosted a Daring Bakers Challenge— and I know that it's not hard at all, especially if you make it a day or two before you need it and the temps are relatively cool. If you are on the fence, a half-batch is super-approachable, doesn't take too much counter space to roll and will give you plenty of puff for treats. And if you're still on the fence, just get a nice store-bought one….I do it all the time, so no judgments.
Apricots aren't in season here anymore, so I had planned to just use canned ones instead (and also skip the recipe's poaching step). Then at the Greenmarket this weekend, I saw that nectarines are still around, so I picked out a few of the smallest "apricot-sized" ones and went ahead with those. I gave them a gentle poach and left their skins on. I thought they were pretty, but they kind of wrinkled up in the oven. Next time they're coming off. Next time I'll also leave the puff a little fatter than the book indicates. I think the recipe says to roll it too thin, so while the front and back ends puffed nicely, the sides were a little flatter than I would have liked. Super crispy, though.
These were delicious, and a fun weekend kitchen project. I'll make them again, especially since I have extra homemade puff in the freezer now. Here's a document that I typed up about making puff pastry for my DB Challenge back in 2009…somewhere near the end are some tips and suggestions.
For the recipe, see Baking with Julia by Dorie Greenspan (it's also here). There's a video of the BWJ episode showing how to make both the puff pastry dough and the pastries. Finally, don't forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll!


The State Sponsor of Terror List needs more teeth. In its current form, the list only leverages three elements of national power (diplomatic, informational, and economic). It is time to discuss changing this reality by adding the fourth and final element of national power.
On November 2nd the State Department failed to meet a congressional deadline. Their task is to determine whether the United States should relist North Korea on the State Sponsor of Terror List. President Trump will announce a decision at the end of his current Pacific diplomatic visits.
It may come as a surprise to most Americans that North Korea is not currently on this list. They were removed by the Bush administration in 2008 in a forlorn hope that the North Korean dictatorship then under Kim Jong-il would honor new denuclearization options in exchange for their removal from the list. As anyone with common sense and a rudimentary understanding of that region's history should know, that did not work. Also unchanged is the Kim dynasty's sponsorship of international terrorist movements who actively target the west, especially the United States and its interests.
This discussion, however, provides an opportunity to reconsider the usefulness of the State Sponsor of Terror List in its current form. There are three countries identified on the current list: Iran, Sudan and Syria. They have all been on this list for many years, and they have not changed their behavior in any tangible fashion. In fact, one could argue that all of them, and most certainly Iran, have accelerated their support for terrorist organizations.
The United States must alter its current policy to include the military element of national power. We must include the stated right to immediately, and without warning, retaliate against any state sponsor of terror in any fashion the US deems appropriate, up to and including the use of our own nuclear arsenal. Such an attack will be triggered as a response to a terrorist attack against our nation, its people, or our allies so long as the terrorist organization is shown to receive any support (arms, money, training, safe harbor, etc.) from a state sponsor on the list. This will provide a level of deterrence that currently does not exist.
Some may argue such a change would be extreme. I, however, would argue it is in our survival interest to do this quickly. Technology has progressed to where even third world dictators like Kim Jon-un are able to acquire weapons that can kill tens of millions, destroy hundreds of billions of dollars of infrastructure, contaminate our food sources, attack our economic infrastructure, shut down national electric grids, etc. Our enemies are all pursuing some or all of these technologies. It is very possible, and arguably probable, that at some point one of these nations will consider providing such a weapon to a terrorist organization they believe they can control. We need to insure they think long and hard before doing so.
This is a narrowly defined policy change. It would only apply to those nations who we place on the list. The State Sponsor of Terror List will then have a level of importance it currently does not, both for nations added and for those who are removed.
We need to stop giving the state sponsors of terror a pass while they conduct war by proxy against the US and its allies. Change our policy, and place North Korea on this list.

GIS-MO (Getting Information Simply - Mapping Online)
HOME | Business | Environmental Health | Pollution Control | Contaminated Land | Researching | Landfill Sites
The map below shows the locations of closed landfill sites held in the Council's records. For these sites you can also view an associated datasheet, which gives more information about that particular landfill site.
Recorded landfill sites are shown as red-shaded areas with blue borders. Clicking within the red shading will call up the name of the landfill. You can then view the information held for each landfill by clicking on the information sheet hyperlink.
What landfill site records are held on this database?
The landfill sites shown on this database are those for which Dudley Council holds records. Broadly, the records held fall into the following categories:
Historically recorded and/or regulated landfills: Historically, some waste disposal activities were recorded and monitored and we hold some records for certain historical landfill sites within the Dudley Borough. Generally, however, little information is held on historical landfill sites, as there were few controls on waste disposal activities at this time.
Refuse Tips: The locations of refuse tips have been identified from examining historical maps. Usually, little further information is held on historical landfill sites, as there were few controls on waste disposal activities at this time.
COPA licensed landfill sites: In 1974 the Control of Pollution Act (COPA) 1974 was introduced to tighten the control and regulation of waste disposal sites and provided the first waste disposal licensing regime. Broadly, the Council holds records for sites that were licensed under this act.
The Council only holds records for historical and closed landfill sites.

Nobles County could see more than $7.6 million in economic benefits over 15 years if just 20 percent of unserved households gain access to broadband service, according to a recent study.
Every unserved home in Nobles County is located in a rural area or rural town. Roberto Gallardo, assistant director at the Purdue University Center for Regional Development and author of the study, says rural communities can emerge in the growing digital economy — where people can work online from anywhere — with access to broadband, provided they take advantage of the high speeds that give them a competitive boost.
Gallardo created "digital divide" profiles for all 86 counties in Minnesota to show the divide in broadband service and socioeconomic conditions between rural and urban areas.
The study reports Nobles County had an index score of 42.09, similar to that of most Greater Minnesota counties. The divide, in this case, is mostly between Worthington and the rest of the county, as the city has widespread access to broadband speeds.
The study reports that 26.9 percent of Nobles County residents do not have access to fixed broadband of at least 25Mbps download and 3Mbps upload.
That's where the Lismore Cooperative Telephone broadband project, funded in part by the Minnesota Office of Broadband Development and Nobles County, will change things — by providing broadband wireless speeds to nearly every home in the county and lightning-fast fiber to hundreds of rural homes and every home in Wilmont and Leota.
In southwest Minnesota, Cottonwood County had the largest divide at 51.86 — 39.4 percent of the county is without broadband service. Murray County had the highest unserved population at 48 percent and would gain more than $6.7 million in economic benefits if that number was cut down.

THE GREAT LOVE OF COUNT DRACULA *** (a.k.a. Count Dracula's Great Love / Cemetery Girls) Spain 1973 83 mins Dir : Javier Aguirre.
Paul Naschy's take on the Universal / Hammer Gothic horror cycles doesn't dawdle on delivering the goods: the very first scene features open throat wounds and an axe in the face, followed by a lone guy travelling for no explained reason with FOUR young women in one of those carriages driven by a growling lunatic through Dracula country. No sooner has said lucky man regaled the ladies with tales of the local vampire than the coach has crashed, and everyone has to take refuge at an abandoned sanatorium overseen by a suave doctor (Naschy) who is actually Dracula in a cunning disguise.
Naschy, sporting a red-lined cape, looks at his most dapper and handsome in the title role and, en-route to a dissolve-heavy climactic disintegration modelled on Hammer's 1958 DRACULA, the movie finds fresh slants on the familiar material. There's a characteristic Naschy emphasis on breast-baring / munching and orgasmic, sexed-up vampire scenes, including girl-on-girl interludes and the usual pleasure of watching Naschy himself getting his end away on a regular basis. (Though, in a self-mocking moment, an amusing dialogue exchange suggests not all the girls are in lust with the Count : "I like my men slimmer and taller!" one notes!). The dopey, overdone romantic angle drags a tad, but the final reel has a marvellous scene of Dracula's well endowed, uniquely levitating brides licking the blood from the wounds of a tortured / whipped captive virgin…right before an original conclusion in which he stakes himself in the name of love. Soppy old sod, that Paul Naschy.

The #HarlemDeer hashtag has been floating around for a couple of days, and it turns out there's a minor tragedy behind it; maybe not quite on the scale of the State Department's feeble #UnitedForUkraine effort, but sad nonetheless.
CNN explains that no one in New York quite knew what to do with a white tailed deer that had grown tired of hanging out in Harlem's Jackie Robinson Park and so took to the streets. Was it the state's problem? The city's?
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation eventually agreed to relocate the deer upstate, perhaps to the peaceful woods outside Chappaqua.
.@NYSDEC:We want to do everything we can to save the Harlem deer. We have told the city that the feds or we can transport it upstate today.
Yes, take comfort in knowing #HarlemDeer is in a much better place, hanging out with Harambe and Charlotte the groundhog, who was murdered by on camera by Mayor Bill de Blasio, perhaps as a warning to other animals to stay the hell out of his city.

Germania C.IV
Germania - C.II / C.III - 1917 - Германия <– –> Goedecker - Flugboot - 1912 - Германия
M.Dusing Germania Flugzeugwerke and its Aircraft (A Centennial Perspective on Great War Airplanes 41)
Germania C IV 1918
Developed especially as an advanced C (Schulflugzeug) school machine during 1918, this machine unusually featured a single cockpit to accommodate both instructor and pupil. It was otherwise a conventional aircraft of wood and fabric with ply-covered fuselage and vertical fin. Only one machine built. Engine, 120 h.p. Argus As II.
Germania C.IV Unarmed Trainer
In the last year of the war another two-seater C-type airplane was developed as training aircraft. In contrast, the Germania C.I/II/III prototypes were relatively streamlined designs powered by the newest high-altitude engine, the 260 hp Maybach. These powerful aircraft were clearly intended to be high-performance combat aircraft, whereby the C.IV with its 180 hp Argus As III engine was less powerful and therefore not intended to be used in combat. Germania had to use the Argus engine because there were not enough reliable Mercedes D.III engines available. Like its predecessors, the C.IV was generally designed as a biplane with two-bays of parallel struts, wooden construction, radiator in front of upper wing, and a common seat cut-out.
This aeroplane was tested under the designation Germania C.IV by the Inspektion des Flugzeugwesens in Berlin-Adlershof. The test results were satisfactory but demonstrated significant omissions. The Army Administration would possibly have taken over the Germania C.IV into the service if the Germania Flugzeugwerke had been able to eliminate all identified deficiencies. However, a final decision was not reached due to the end of the war.
Therefore, only one example of this aircraft type was built.

To evaluate the impact of osteoporosis on the patients' quality of life, particularly in the absence of fractures.
100 post-menopausal women (age 50-85) - 62 with uncomplicated primary osteoporosis and 38 with primary osteoporosis complicated by vertebral fractures; all already treated - were studied using two validated questionnaires: Qualeffo-41 for quality of life in osteoporosis, and Zung for depression. Data were compared to those of 35 controls of comparable age, affected by a different chronic disease (hypothyroidism).
Family history of osteoporosis and T-score of spine were similar in the two subgroups of osteoporotic women. Body mass index, age at menopause and education level were similar in the two subgroups of osteoporotic women and in the control group.
The patients affected by osteoporosis perceived it as a disease affecting their personal life with undesirable consequences: chronic pain (66% of women with fractures and 40% of women without fractures), impaired physical ability, reduced social activity, poor well-being (21% of women without fractures) and depressed mood (42% of women irrespective of fractures). Overall, 41% of the women showed a reduced quality of life. On the contrary, in the control group only 11% reported a reduced quality of life.
The quality of life of osteoporotic patients should be investigated even before fractures, in order to develop appropriate counselling, support and care interventions to help patients develop efficient strategies for accepting the disease and coping with it.
Osteoporosis is a very common disease of bone, and fragility fractures (i.e. fractures in the absence of relevant trauma) are its typical complication and the most common presenting sign. For many years, the diagnosis of osteoporosis was made only after the sudden occurrence of a fragility fracture.
The most frequent sites of bone fragility fractures are wrist, vertebrae, hip, ribs and humerus. While hip fractures have always been considered a cause of severe disability and loss of independence [1, 2], there is now increasing awareness that all fractures substantially affect the patient's quality of life [3–5].
With the availability of new techniques of bone densitometry, and in particular of dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), osteoporosis was defined as the loss of bone mineral beyond a certain threshold, even in the absence of fractures. In 1994, the World Health Organization (WHO) defined it as "a systemic skeletal disease characterized by a low bone mass and bone architectural derangements, leading to an increased fracture risk" , and set the threshold of bone loss for osteoporosis, at least for post-menopausal women, at a T-score value of -2.5, as measured by DXA.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of osteoporosis per se – independently of fractures – on the patients' quality of life; more specifically, to determine whether, in normal clinical practice, the awareness of being affected by osteoporosis has a special impact on the patients' perceived quality of life.
Indeed, most studies have been focused on the impact of fragility fractures. Our hypothesis, based on a very long clinical experience, is that the sheer awareness of a chronic, essentially progressive disease, with the well-known risk of bone fractures in one's future, has a negative effect on the subjective perception of the quality of life.
We thus involved a small control group of women of comparable age, affected by a different chronic disease (hypothyroidism), to determine whether osteoporosis could be considered to have a special impact on a patient's perceived quality of life.
One hundred post-menopausal women, aged 66 ± 8.7 years (age range 50–85), affected by osteoporosis with or without fractures, were enrolled consecutively at the outpatient clinic of the Istituto Auxologico Italiano over a period of about 4 months.
The diagnosis of osteoporosis was made on the basis of a reduction in bone mineral density (BMD) at spine and hip scan according to the WHO criteria, after a clinical and biochemical exclusion of other causes of bone loss. Only cases of primary osteoporosis were recruited. Secondary osteoporoses were excluded in order to avoid the interference of the primitive disease on the patient's quality of life. In all cases, osteoporosis was diagnosed before the present study, and all patients were receiving a specific treatment. 13 of the patients (13%) (9 in group A, without fractures; 4 in group B, with fractures) had used hormonal replacement therapy (HRT), starting at menopause and continuing for 3 to 6 years. No patients were on HRT at the time of the study. All the patients had had regular evaluation of 25-OH vitamin D serum levels also before the study, and they took vitamin D supplements if needed. 25-OH vitamin D levels were steadily normal (over 30 ng/ml) in all patients before and during the study. All the patients were living at home alone or with relatives, did not require personal assistance and were independent enough to come to the hospital's outpatient clinic.
The inclusion criteria included being able to autonomously read, understand and answer the simple questions asked in the questionnaires used in the study.
Beyond secondary osteoporosis, the exclusion criteria were the presence of other diseases affecting quality of life (e.g. cancer, moderate to severe chronic renal insufficiency, chronic respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases including uncontrolled hypertension, diabetes) and the presence of severe cognitive, visual or hearing impairments.
All the fractures were clinically symptomatic, and due to bone fragility and not to major trauma. For patients with a history of fractures, the last fracture must have occurred at least 6 months before the study, in order to evaluate only the impact of an established condition and not that of an acute phase.
A control group of 35 women, affected by a different chronic disease (hypothyroidism, stable for at least 3 years) selected among the outpatients of the same Institute, was also involved and filled out the questionnaires. They were in the same age range of the patients, but without osteoporosis (mean BMD T-score -1.3 ± .3), back pain or fractures. Also these patients were aware of their disease, and were under treatment (levothyroxine replacement therapy). The inclusion and exclusion criteria were the same as for osteoporotic patients, apart bone loss.
Bone mineral density was measured by DXA (Hologic QDR 2000) at lumbar spine and proximal hip. All vertebral fractures were confirmed by X-rays. All women underwent a lateral X-ray exam of the dorsal and lumbar spine at study entry: vertebral deformity was defined according to Genant's criteria .
The perceived quality of life was assessed by two standardized, internationally and nationally validated questionnaires: Qualeffo-41 for quality of life in osteoporosis, and Zung for depression.
Qualeffo-41 has five domains: pain, physical function, social function, general health perception, mental function (mood) [8, 9].
The Zung Depression Scale is a self-report scale consisting of 20 items, each with a four-point severity rating . The scale has often been used in the assessment of mood in people of mixed ages, and it has been validated in many studies [11–13]. When a score of 50 is used as the cut-off point, it is sensitive in detecting depression in epidemiological studies of persons over fifty years of age.
The patients and the controls were given the questionnaires during a routine follow-up evaluation, and filled them out on the premises at the Istituto Auxologico Italiano. All the patients had an interview with a psychologist, to exclude the presence of affective disorders that could influence the results of the tests.
The study protocol was approved by the Ethical Committee of the Istituto Auxologico Italiano.
All the questionnaires were answered completely and were analyzed according to the published scoring algorithm. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS statistical package 11.0 for Windows (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Data are expressed as mean ± SD or percentage. Student's t test for unpaired data, or the non parametric Mann-Whitney test and the chi-square, or the Fisher's exact test, as appropriate, were used to compare data between the two osteoporosis groups (with or without fractures) and the control group. Anova was also used to compare data among groups. Significance of multiple comparisons were adjusted by the Bonferroni's correction. Association between BMD, expressed as absolute value or T-score, and questionnaires' scores were evaluated by Pearson correlation coefficient in the patients affected by osteoporosis. Correlations were further adjusted for age and social status. A p value < 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance (two-tailed tests).
No significant differences were observed between the women who had used HRT (13 out of 100) and those who did not.
The main characteristics of the patients and the controls are summarized in Table 1. The patients were divided in two groups: Group A: 62 women with uncomplicated osteoporosis, defined as a T-score <-2.5 according to the WHO criteria; Group B: 38 women with osteoporosis, defined as above, but complicated by vertebral fractures. All 38 women had had at least 1 vertebral fracture, but none had had hip or other peripheral fractures.
Data are expressed as mean ± SD and as percentages.
Student's t test for unpaired data or chi-square of Fischer's exact test.
The evaluation of the Zung questionnaire revealed that some of the women affected by osteoporosis suffered symptoms of depression (40% of the women), but nobody reached the score of clinical depression from a psycho-pathological point of view. In the control group, a lower number of women had symptoms of depression (23% of the women) (Table 2).
No significant correlation was found between the Zung questionnaire score and the BMD value, expressed as either the absolute value or the T-score (Table 2). 42% of women with osteoporosis had symptoms of depression according to the "mental function" domain of Qualeffo-41 [8, 9], a result in accordance with the Zung test.
In the osteoporotic patients considered globally, the correlation between the BMD T-score value and the Qualeffo-41 score, adjusted for age, social status (e.g. education, marriage, living alone or not, etc.) and lifestyle habits (e.g. smoking, drinking), was significant (p < 0.001), independently from the presence of fractures. Three domains were particularly significant: physical function (p < 0.01), social function (p < 0.001), general health perception (p < 0.01) (Table 3).
Pain was present in 50% of cases, independently from age, and in 26% for more than 10 hours a day. 25 women out of 38 with fractures (66%) and 25 out of 62 without fractures (40%) reported pain. The presence of vertebral fractures increased the score of the "pain" domain (Table 4). The Qualeffo score of pain was significantly higher in both groups of patients with osteoporosis with respect to the control group. In this latter group pain was present only in 2 cases (5,7%).
In the domain of physical function, 46% of the women under 65 years of age indicated the perception of a significant physical change, as did 65% of those over 65. The presence of fractures increased the perception of physical change (Table 4). The comparison with the control group revealed a slight difference with Group A, and a significant difference with Group B (Table 4).
In the domain of general health perception, 58% of the women had a sense of poor well-being. 13 women without fractures (21%) out of 62 reported a reduction of their health perception (Table 4). Comparing their present level of well-being with that of 10 years before, 58% of the women aged less than 65 indicated a deterioration, as did 83% of those aged 65 or more. These percentages were not significantly changed by the presence of fractures. In the control group, only 3 women (8,6%), aged 65 to 68 years, reported a reduction of their health perception (Table 4).
Overall, 41% of the women affected by osteoporosis had a reduced quality of life: 32% (23 cases) of the women with uncomplicated osteoporosis and 55% (21 cases) of the women with osteoporosis complicated by fractures. On the contrary, a reduction of quality of life was present in only 11,4% of the controls.
In an editorial published twelve years ago, Kanis et al already recognized the need "to rethink vertebral osteoporosis and to focus more closely than hitherto on the quality of life of these patients" . However, only in these last years some information on the quality of life of osteoporotic patients has been gathered, generally after fractures [15–19].
Most information has been collected thanks to the efforts of some researchers to develop specific instruments to test the physical and emotional disability generated by the disease. Generic instruments available for measuring quality of life (such as SF-36) are useful to evaluate health in general but they lack disease specificity [20–22]. More recently, some specific instruments were developed to give a more accurate measure of the quality of life in osteoporosis. One of the first was Qualeffo-41, which has been translated and validated in different languages including Italian [8, 9]. This questionnaire has proven to be repeatable, coherent, and able to discriminate between patients and controls. In the last years other specific questionnaires have been developed, but not all were as extensively used and validated in different countries as Qualeffo-41 [23–26]. This is the reason why we decided to use the Qualeffo-41 questionnaire.
While most previous studies included only women with osteoporosis complicated by fractures, we chose to include also a group of patients with a diagnosis of osteoporosis but without fractures, a condition which is usually considered asymptomatic. And we included also a control group of women of comparable age, affected by a different chronic disease of comparable severity and essentially asymptomatic (hypothyroidism), who were also on a long term therapy and in a stable clinical condition.
In previous studies, it was demonstrated that vertebral fractures are associated with reduced quality of life and that physical function and emotional status are negatively affected [27, 28]. The use of specific questionnaires showed that the reduction of quality of life depends on the number of vertebral fractures and on their location within the spine, with significantly different scores [28, 29].
In our study we did not try to evaluate this particular aspect, given the relatively small sample, but we considered the vertebral fractures as a whole, without considering the number of vertebral fractures and their location.
To the specific test measuring the perceived quality of life (Qualeffo) in osteoporosis, we also added the Zung Depression Scale to measure depression. An essential prerequisite for the correct interpretation of the results is to be able to discriminate between a condition of reactive depression, such as is frequently encountered in chronically ill subjects, and that of endogenous depression (melancholia). Both the Zung questionnaire and the related domain of Qualeffo-41 showed that a depressed mood was present in about 40% of our patients, independently of fractures, while nobody had a major depressive disorder as defined by the DSM-IV , considering both their past and their recent history.
In accordance with the study of Oleksik et al. , the mental function of our patients was not influenced by the presence of the disease, whether they had suffered fractures or not. This is an important aspect, as it strongly supports the hypothesis that the physical constraints of the disease and not the mental impairment cause the reduction in physical abilities, the consequent reduction in social activities and in autonomy, the permanent modification of body image, and the perception of general health. Moreover, the comparison with a control group of women affected by another chronic disease confirmed the lack of mental function involvement.
Another extremely important aspect evidenced by our study was the presence of pain in a significant number of patients before the occurrence of vertebral fractures (clinical or even morphometric). Osteoporosis is generally considered a silent disease before the occurrence of fractures, but we found that pain was often present in the group of women without known fractures (a clear difference with respect to the control group). Chronic pain in osteoporosis is poorly considered even in the presence of vertebral fractures [31–33], and it is obviously even more underestimated without them. There is now ample consensus that undertreated chronic pain may become "a disease within the disease" and is often a cause of subclinical or clinical depression [34, 35]. Our study demonstrates that physicians dealing with osteoporotic patients must pay serious attention to the problem of chronic pain, and even in the absence of fractures.
Recently, Dhillon et al. demonstrated that women with osteoporosis have a reduced health-related quality of life, independently of prior fractures . In our study, the use of a test (Qualeffo), specifically designed for osteoporosis demonstrated even better the effect of the disease itself, without the presence of its main complication (fragility fractures). We think that our results are even more relevant because of the comparison with a control group affected by a different chronic disease.
A reduced quality of life was present in our patients notwithstanding their stable, non-alarming condition, with the diagnosis of osteoporosis back in the past. All of them were following a standard therapy for osteoporosis, well known to be effective in the majority of cases. The presence of a therapy is considered a factor which influences positively a patient's quality of life [37, 38], but notwithstanding this, in our patients, the therapy for osteoporosis was not able to completely eliminate the impact of the disease on the perceived quality of life.
Any chronic disease can induce a negative perception of one's quality of life, especially considering the future and the risk of losing independence or suffering pain. We aimed at determining whether osteoporosis, a very common disease, could have a special impact on a patient's perceived quality of life.
The results of the Qualeffo and Zung tests revealed significant differences between the osteoporosis patients and the control group. Patients with osteoporosis, even in the absence of fractures, had a more depressed mood and a lower quality of life.
Osteoporosis was perceived by our patients as a disease leading to severe discomfort and/or disability, and affecting different aspects of personal life with a variety of undesirable consequences, such as chronic pain, reduced physical ability, reduced social activity, poor well-being, and depressed mood. The fear of losing autonomy and independence was extremely high.
On the basis of our results in a relatively small sample (100 patients), we think that the quality of life of osteoporotic patients should be thoroughly investigated even before the occurrence of fractures, in order to develop the appropriate intervention (e.g. counseling, support and care) in all the different phases of the disease. This will help patients to develop more efficient strategies for accepting the disease and coping with it. The information obtained through the use of appropriate questionnaires could be a powerful instrument for the physician or caregiver in the global management of osteoporosis.

Once you comprehend the prompt, you may now brainstorm and draft your college application essay. Even if you opt not to go to college, you might still have to compose a research paper. Colleges may also underestimate certain expenses, such as textbook outlays, in order to produce their financial aid offer seem to be more generous.
Any less english essay writing is too weak and the thesis will be not able to stand by itself. Clearly textbooks ought to be aesthetically appealing. Opt for a thesis statement.
Also ask yourself whether your statement creates a potent point. If your reply is yes, you're not the only person who feels that manner! Don't hesitate to be creative, but remember to directly deal with the question you've been asked!
My final suggestion deals with assessment and the way it is usually utilized to set the degree to which a student has learnt the essential material. By way of example, transportation costs may differ based on whether the college is close to home or halfway through the country. Therefore, textbooks arrive in an assortment of guises and formats, based on the topic and age https://aussieessaywriter.com.au/movie-review/ range.
Once you finish your research notes you can begin writing with confidence that you have all of the pieces you should create an amazing essay. A different way to turn off a reader is to compose a brilliant introduction on the incorrect topic. The reader will probably assume the quotation is significant to your work.
You will be writing drafts. To begin with, choose what you wish to achieve with your paper. If you're sending exactly the same essay to numerous schools, the cover letter is a chance to tailor the essay to the institution to which you're applying.
When you've gathered all the info you can about your subject, you must pick your side and produce a valid opinion. The quantity of work which you put in to every training course is outstanding. Ways to get from A to Z is a procedure which requires knowing just what context you're working in.
Professors deduct a minumum of one point for every single error in the paper. Clearly textbooks ought to be aesthetically appealing. Because in-text citations aren't as common in narrative style, https://www.stu.edu/Portals/0/Academics/catalogs/GR-Catalog-2017-2018.pdf an extremely thorough bibliography is crucial to prevent plagiarism and give credit where required.
The agency's research demonstrates that a feeling of connectedness improves students' grades and test scores together with their lifelong wellness. The very first draft won't ever be perfect. So ask the colleges whether you may expect to get a similar quantity of grants in subsequent years if your financial circumstances are alike.
In addition, it is a highly-entertaining read and an excellent illustration of how hard you've got to work if you prefer to make it inside this game. How you present your principal idea depends upon the topic you decide on. Likewise, it's a claim that anybody can dispute or debate on.
The perfect biography gives a personal story that functions as a relation between the scholarship focus and the applicant. How you present your principal idea depends upon the topic you decide on. Likewise, it's a claim that anybody can dispute or debate on.
Difficulty starting an essay is frequently one of the very first problems you may encounter. For that reason, it's tough to pinpoint exactly how often personal statements impact admissions decisions, and how biases and individual preferences might perform a position. Otherwise, then the Nerd revises the thesis until it's aligned with the essay's major arguments.
Or you may find that a section has to be cut out because it doesn't fit. Employing file cards to record source info and notes is an excellent means to remain organized. An application doesn't tell you a lot about an individual besides their interests and what they're good at.
It is well-known that lots of college professors take a fast glance at the sources and, if they're good enough, approach the paper differently. Most college counselors will say to select an answer that differentiates yourself from different applicants, but it's tricky to balance writing an essay that provides original reasons for liking a school whilst staying true to your private voice. Even if you believe your college essay is ideal, the second pair of expert eyes are sometimes a genuine life-saver!
Indent 2 inches on each side of the epigraph, therefore it's 1 inch further from the normal margin. Thus, you commit to writing a paper of mediocre quality because you believe's the best that you can do with the time you've got at hand. It's possible to write down more than you may easily remember, in order for your capability to look at a range of ideas at the exact same time is broadened.

On 19 August an earthquake swarm began in the vicinity of the Bárðarbunga volcano, with over 1600 earthquakes recorded in 48 hours. Yesterday Iceland issued a red alert to the aviation industry, and confirmed that a small sub-glacial eruption is under way. On Wednesday, authorities evacuated an area close to the volcano over fears it could erupt.
In the world's youngest – geologically speaking – country, such dramatic-sounding news is not that unusual. Geysers, magma, glaciers and the flooding, often catastrophic, that occurs when so much ice and fire combine, are at the heart of Icelandic culture.
So it has been timely that our airwaves experienced a minor eruption of Icelandic music last week. There is still time to catch Donald Macleod's four-part series on Icelandic composers on iPlayer (though last Monday's programme expires this Monday), while the Iceland Symphony Orchestra's Proms performance is available for another four weeks. As part of the Proms Plus literature festival, expert in Nordic sagas Eleanor Rosamond Barraclough joined novelist Joanna Kavenna to discuss Icelandic culture in a conversation that ranged from trolls and the myth of Thule to Nordic Noir, from the 19th century British visitors who included William Morris and Anthony Trollope to modern poets Glyn Maxwell and Simon Armitage.
NATURAL LIGHT reviews the whole package in our Reviews section, which contains links to additional material exploring the inextricable link between Iceland's dramatic natural environment and its music.

EPIC-N Announces Virtual 2021 EPIC-Network Conference, October 5-7
EPIC-Network
Madison, WI, August 27, 2021 – The Educational Partnerships for Innovation in Communities -Network (EPIC-N) , a global non-profit organization that unites the human capital of universities with local governments and communities to improve quality of life and social wealth, announced its upcoming #2021EPICN Conference. The virtual, interactive event will focus on updating the membership on the growth and proliferation of the EPIC Network, the trending topics affecting EPIC programs, and the resources available to tackle them. Taking place October 5-7, the event offers attendees from across EPIC-N's global community the opportunity to connect with peers and gain fresh ideas on how to enhance EPIC programs at every level, from beginner to mature programs.
"The conference is a way to bring [university and community] practitioners together to share the resources that EPIC-N makes available," explains Jane Rogan, Director of Sustaining Hoosier Communities with the Indiana University Center for Rural Engagement. "And to develop a broader and deeper understanding of what the organization does for the membership and to encourage the membership to make use of the products and services that EPIC-N offers."
The virtual event will deliver a collaborative and fun learning environment. "Since this is a virtual format, it's easier to attend and participate. There are so many successful programs, and they have a lot to contribute," shares Anne Reichman, Director of the ASU Sustainable Cities Network and Project Cities Program.
#2021EPICN will offer attendees the ability to build a unique and tailored experience with inspiring and informative discussions over the three-day period on key pillars including:
The expansion of the network, internationalization, the utilization of UN SDGs to frame its work, including as a lens for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) work;
The evaluation and impact of its work in communities, with students, with universities in the short and long term; and
EPIC-N's program support, including discussions of tools, opportunities, funding models, and how EPIC-N can support programs. Also, how programs can be more responsive and involved within the network to help build network strength, enthusiasm, collaboration, and to better demonstrate successes, share best practices and develop robust data sets.
At the conference, participants will gain a better understanding of the "growth of the EPIC Network and the fact that the growth has been international, not just in the U.S.; how EPIC programs are shifting to focus on the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as the basic metric of what we're doing while respecting the local context of the individual regions and programs; the progress we've made in program quality assurance and quality improvement, but that we also need some quality control on how the programs themselves are running and what sort of effect they are having on students, faculty, and their communities," says Joel Rogers, EPIC-N Chair and Secretary. "And they'll learn that there's a lot of money out there to help them build their programs, but we need the evidence of program impact on students and the broader community."
