Recently, the U S Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery Office of Medical History announced the addition of Archivist Mike Rhode to the staff. I was doing research in the historical library the week Mike came aboard, and I can report that he brings real energy to the Navy's operation. He brings experience, as well: for 22 1/2 years, he was in charge of the Otis Historical Archives at the Army Medical Museum (just recently folded into the National Museum of Health and Medicine).
While I was researching at BuMed, located in the old Naval Observatory in Washington DC's "Foggy Bottom" district, historian Andre Sobocinski pointed out to me that the dome of the observatory once served as a marker for an "American Meridian" (or Washington Meridian).
Perhaps in part an expression of revolutionary hubris, Congress established this Meridian in the Navy Appropriation of 1849. It served as the U. S. surveying reference (it was never extensively used for navigational purposes) until we adopted the International Meridian at Greenwich in 1912. Borders of Wyoming, Arizona, Utah and Nevada are based on the American Meridian.

Panel One, "The Health of Sailors" featured papers by Professor John Beeler, Dr Cori Convertito-Farrar and Mr Andrew Rath, with Commentary by Professor Chris McKee.
Both Professor Beeler's and Dr Convertito-Farrar's papers concerned Yellow Fever in the Caribbean in the 18th and 19th centuries while Mr Rath discussed the impact of an Admiral's suicide upon naval operations in the Pacific during the Crimean War.
(Project X231–a World War II study of the effectiveness of ultraviolet lighting in reducing respiratory infections among troops) and Paola Schiappacasse (the history of a quarantine station in Puerto Rico utilizing primary written and archeological resources), and Mr Raed Moustafa (ethical dilemmas facing medical personnel at the U S detainee facility in Guantanamo, Cuba).
At the end of each panel, Society Executive Director Captain Tom Snyder presented the student (or recently student) authors, Mr Rath, Mr Moustafa, and Doctors Convertito-Farrar and Schiappacasse with the first-ever Society Graduate Student Travel Grant of $750 each.
Our panels, which faced rigorous competition from a large variety of outstanding–if more "traditional"–naval historical fare, were well attended. The Society garnered five new members at Annapolis, bringing our membership to 165 people from around the world.
We plan to publish most if not all of these papers in a Session "Proceedings". This will appear in The Grog, a quarterly digest of naval medical history and heritage published electronically by the Office of Medical History at the U S Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. We will announce the publication here.
In the evening, a few authors and conference attendees gathered at a local Annapolis restaurant for the "Meeting" portion of our Annual Meeting and Papers Session. Over a pleasant meal, we discussed the panels-just-past, and plans for the Society's panel at the April 26-29 2012 meeting of the American Association for the History of Medicine in Baltimore. Mark your calendars now and plan to join us!
In an earlier post, I detailed this history up to the 1841 Uniform Regulations. Herewith, the story goes forward.
A new Navy Regulation in 1852 (2) abolished the gilt "MD" and instead called for "an olive sprig, one inch and a quarter long embroidered at the center" of the shoulder strap, shown here for a medical officer of less than 12 years' service: (b). The same olive sprig was prescribed for the medical officer's cap.
no corps device identified the shoulder straps of less senior surgeons; here, a shoulder strap for a surgeon with over 5 years, showing only a rank device, the spread oak leaf in silver: (c).
Surgeons' caps carried an "Oak leaf, 9/10 inch in length, embroidered in silver".
Finally, in 1897, the device by which we identify a medical corps officer, the spread oak leaf of dead gold with a silver acorn embroidered at the center, was prescribed.(6) The dark maroon color between rank stripes persisted: (d). Note that a collar device was also prescribed with the rank at the leading edge and the corps device just aft, worn on both sides of the standing collar.
Regulations of 1913 (7) prescribed that Medical reserve officers should sport crimson between sleeve rank stripes, in contrast to the dark maroon required for regular medical corps officers. No Corps device was called for upon the sleeve.

Dimensionality, reliability and validity of a measure of combat experience
by Guyker, Wendy M., Ph.D., State University of New York at Buffalo, 2010, 50; 3423567
By and large, the history of measurement of combat experience, including recent history, has been at the macro level (e.g., in terms of number of injuries, casualties, exposure to combat). However, with the recognition of new kinds of combat and resulting psychological sequelae, there is a need for more subjective measures at the level of the individual. Existing measures of combat exposure are primarily from the Vietnam era. The current conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq pose unique experiences of combat trauma. The Combat Experiences Scale (CES) is a 33-item measure that assesses exposure to combat. Compared to previous measures of combat exposure, its breadth and depth are promising. However, the psychometrics of this measure are not yet known. The purpose of this study was to examine aspects of the internal and external validity of the CES. Data was collected from participants in a study of brain injuries related to the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan across five VA medical centers in upstate New York (N=500). An exploratory factor analysis suggested that three factors represented the scale well: exposure to combat environment, physical engagement, and proximity to serious injury and death. The CES also showed adequate reliability (internal consistency). Finally, evidence of construct validity was evaluated to estimate convergent and discriminant validity of the Combat Experience scales by examination of correlations with demographic and war experience scales as well as cognitive, affective and behavioral measures. The CES dimensions appear to advance our understanding of combat experience; in particular, that deployment-related experiences ought to be conceptualized broadly and encompass experiences above and beyond direct combat.

Justia Patents PedometerUS Patent Application for Pedometer Patent Application (Application #20080077353)
To enable to measure a number of steps highly accurately by dispensing with an operation of selecting a measuring mode when the number of steps is measured in walking and in running. A detecting signal detected by a walking sensor is amplified and outputted by first amplifying means by way of charge-voltage converting means. When a detecting signal by way of only the first amplifying means of the first and the second amplifying means is inputted to an input of CPU, CPU determines that a measured person is running, sets a mask time period or the like for running and carries out a processing of calculating a number of steps based on the detecting signal. When the detecting signal by way of only the first amplifying means is not inputted to the input of CPU and a detecting signal by way of both of the first amplifying means and the second amplifying means is inputted to an input of CPU, CPU determines that the measured person is walking, sets the mask time period or the like for walking and carries out the processing of calculating the number of steps based on the detecting signal.
The present invention relates to a pedometer for measuring a number of steps by detecting walking of the human body, particularly relates to a pedometer having a function of measuring the number of steps in walking and in running.
In a background art, there has been developed a pedometer capable of measuring a number of steps in walking and in running.
For example, according to a pedometer described in Publication of Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 2518217 (page 2, left column, line 50 through page 4, right column, line 43, FIG. 3 through FIG. 6), by selecting a kind of a moving motion (walking or running) measured by external inputting means, a measuring mode capable of measuring the number of steps in the corresponding moving operation (a walking measuring mode for measuring the number of steps in walking or a running measuring mode of measuring the number of steps in running) is set, and a filter characteristic of a filter and an amplification factor of an amplifier are switched in accordance with the set measuring mode.
However, at each time of measuring the number of steps, the measuring mode needs to be set by selecting the kind of the moving motion, and therefore, when different moving operations are carried out continuously as in a case of changing the moving motions continuously from walking to running, in the midst of measuring the number of steps, an operating button for changing the kind of the measured moving motion is forced to be operated.
Further, when a definition of the moving motion is ambiguous, there poses a problem that a person is at a loss by which of the modes is to be set and a way of use thereof is not excellent. Further, when the measuring mode is erroneously set, there poses a problem that the number of steps cannot be measured accurately.
The invention constitutes a problem by enabling to measure a number of steps highly accurately by dispensing with operation of selecting a measuring mode when the number of steps is measured in walking and in running.
According to the invention, there is provided a pedometer characterized in comprising a sensor for detecting a moving motion of a measured person and outputting a detecting signal in correspondence therewith, first amplifying means for amplifying to output the detecting signal from the sensor, filter means for passing the detecting signal of a signal from the first amplifying means, second amplifying means for amplifying to output a detecting signal from the filter means, and means for calculating a number of steps for calculating the number of steps based on the detecting signal by way of only the first amplifying means and a detecting signal by way of the first amplifying means and the second amplifying means in the detecting signals by way of the first amplifying means and the second amplifying means, wherein the means for calculating the number of steps calculates the number of steps based on the detecting signal by way of only the first amplifying means when the detecting signal by way of only the first amplifying means is provided, and calculates the number of steps based on the detecting signal by way of the second amplifying means when the detecting signal by way of only the first amplifying means is not provided and the detecting signal by way of the second amplifying means is provided.
The means for calculating the number of steps calculates the number of steps based on the detecting signal by way of only the first amplifying means when the detecting signal by way of only the first amplifying means is provided, and calculates the number of steps based on the detecting signal by way of the second amplifying means when the detecting signal by way of only the first amplifying means is not provided and the detecting signal by way of the second amplifying means is provided.
Here, there may be constructed a constitution in which the pedometer further comprises first binalyzing means for binalyzing the detecting signal from the first amplifying means and second binalyzing means for binalyzing the detecting signal from the second amplifying means, wherein the means for calculating the number of steps calculates the number of steps based on a detecting signal from the first binalyzing means when the detecting signal is provided from the first binalyzing means and calculates the number of steps based on a detecting signal from the second binalyzing means when the detecting signal from the first binalyzing means is not provided and the detecting signal is provided from the second binalyzing means.
Further, there may be constructed a constitution in which the filter means is constituted by setting a frequency characteristic thereof to shut off a signal of a predetermined frequency or higher, passes the detecting signal in walking and shuts off the detecting signal in running.
Further, there may be constructed a constitution in which the means for calculating the number of steps calculates the number of steps by changing an algorism for calculating the number of steps in accordance with whether the number of steps is calculated based on the detecting signal from either of the first amplifying means and the second amplifying means.
According to the invention, when the number of steps is measured in walking and in running, an operation of selecting the measuring mode is dispensed with, and the number of steps can be measured highly accurately by the pertinent measuring mode.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a pedometer according to an embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a processing of a pedometer according to the embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 3 illustrates timing charts of the pedometer according to the embodiment of the invention.
In FIG. 1, a pedometer includes a walk sensor (an acceleration sensor according to the embodiment) 101 for outputting a signal of detecting a corresponding charge at each time of detecting a moving motion of a measured person, charge-voltage converting means 102 for converting the detecting signal from the walk sensor 101 into a corresponding detecting signal of a voltage to output, first amplifying means 103 for amplifying to output the detecting signal from the charge-voltage converting means 102, and first binalyzing means 104 for converting the detecting signal in an analog signal style from the first amplifying means 103 into a detecting signal in a digital signal style to output.
Further, the pedometer includes filter means 105 for shutting off a signal having a predetermined frequency or higher of the signal from the first amplifying means 103, second amplifying means 106 for amplifying to output the detecting signal from the filter means 105, second binalyzing means 107 for converting the detecting signal in an analog signal style from the second amplifying means 106 into a detecting signal of a digital signal style, a central processing unit (CPU) 108 for carrying out a processing of calculating the number of steps based on the detecting signals from the first and the second binalyzing means 104, 107, inputting means 109 for carrying out various operations of an operation of starting to measure the number of steps constituted by an operation switch or the like, displaying means 110 for displaying the measured number of steps, a pitch or the like, sound informing means 111 for carrying out alarming or the like by sound, oscillating means 112 for generating a signal constituting a base of a reference clock signal for CPU 112 or a time signal in carrying out a time measuring operation, and storing means 113 for storing a program executed by CPU 108 and data of measured number of steps and the like.
CPU 108 includes two input terminals (input 1, input 2) for receiving the detecting signal and carries out a number of steps calculating processing based on the detecting signal inputted to the inputs 1, 2.
The filter means 105 is constituted such that a frequency characteristic thereof is set to shut off a signal of a predetermined frequency or higher to pass the detecting signal in walking and shut off the detecting signal in running.
For example, a pitch in walking is 90 through 120 steps/minute, a pitch in running is 170 through 190 steps/minute, in this case, the filter means 105 is constituted to pass the detecting signal having the pitch of 90 through 120 steps/minute but to shut off the detecting signal having the pitch equal to or larger than 170 steps/minute. The filter means 105 is constituted by a band pass filter, or a combination of a low pass filter and a high pass filter.
The first and the second binalyzing means 104, 107 are constituted by comparators, and constituted to output a signal having a signal level equal to or higher than a predetermined reference value as the detecting signal.
Further, the charge-voltage converting means 102, the first and the second amplifying means 103, 106, the first and the second binalyzing means 104, 107 and the filter means 105 constitute a detecting circuit 114. Further, CPU 108 constitutes controlling means for controlling the means of calculating the number of steps and respective constituent elements.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a processing of the pedometer of FIG. 1, mainly showing processings carried out by executing a program stored to the storing means 113 by CPU 108.
FIG. 3 illustrates timing charts of the pedometer according to the embodiment, FIG. 3A is a timing chart in walking, FIG. 3B is a timing chart in running. As shown by FIG. 3A, in walking, the detecting signal outputted from the walking sensor 101 is small, and therefore, the detecting signal 2A outputted from the first amplifying means 103 is at a low level and when the first binalyzing means 104 binalizes the detecting signal 2A by a predetermined reference value, the detecting signal of the digital signal style is not outputted from the first binalyzing means 104.
On the other hand, the detecting signal in walking is provided with a low frequency to be equal to or lower than the predetermined frequency, and therefore, the detecting signal 2A from the first amplifying means 103 is made to pass the filter means 105, amplified by the second amplifying means 106 and is inputted to the second binalyzing means 107 as the detecting signal 1A of a predetermined level or higher. The second binalyzing means 107 outputs the detecting signal 1A in the analog signal style to CPU 108 as a detecting signal 1B. At this occasion, the detecting signal 1B inputted to CPU 108 is the detecting signal in correspondence with walking.
As shown by FIG. 3B, in the case of running, the detecting signal outputted from the walking sensor 101 is large, and therefore, the detecting signal 2A outputted from the first amplifying means 103 is at a high level. When the first binalyzing means 104 binalizes the detecting signal 2A by a predetermined reference value, a detecting signal 2B in the digital signal style is outputted from the first binalyzing means 104 to CPU 108. At this occasion, the detecting signal 2B inputted to CPU 108 is the detecting signal in correspondence with running.
On the other hand, the detecting signal in running is provided with a high frequency to be equal to or higher than the predetermined frequency (a frequency shut off by the filter means 105), and therefore, the detecting signal 2A from the first amplifying means 103 is shut off by the filter means 105. Therefore, the detecting signal is not outputted from the second amplifying means 106 and the detecting signal is not outputted also from the second binalyzing means 107.
An operation of the pedometer according to the embodiment will be explained in details in reference to FIG. 1 through FIG. 3 as follows.
When the number of steps is measured, the measured person mounts the pedometer on the arm of one's own, carries out a starting operation by the inputting means 109 and starts measuring a number of steps.
CPU 108 starts to measure by supplying a power source to the detecting circuit 114 in response to the starting operation of the inputting means 109 (step S201). Under the state, the measured person starts a motion to carry out a moving motion (step S202).
CPU 108 determines whether the detecting signal 2B is inputted to the input 2 from the first binalyzing means 104 by way of only the first amplifying means 103 (step S203), when it is determined that the detecting signal 2B is not inputted to the input 2, CPU 108 determines whether the detecting signal 1B is inputted to the input 1 from the second binalyzing means 107 by way of the first and the second amplifying means 103, 106 (step S204).
CPU 108 determines whether a predetermined time period has elapsed when it is determined that the detecting signal 1B is inputted to the input 1 (step S205), when it is determined that the predetermined time period has elapsed (that is, the detecting signal is generated and detected continuously for the predetermined time period), CPU 108 determines that the measured person is walking (step S206).
As described above, in walking, as shown by FIG. 3A, although the detecting signal 2B is not outputted from the first binalyzing means 104, the detecting signal 1B is outputted from the second binalyzing means 107.
When CPU 108 determines that the measured person is walking at a processing step S206, CPU 108 sets an algorism for calculating the number of steps of a processing of setting a time period of masking (mask time period) for preventing a detecting operation from being carried out during a predetermined time period between the detecting signals 1B contiguous to each other to an algorism for walking (step S207).
CPU 108 calculates the number of steps based on the detecting signal 1B inputted from the second binalyzing means 107 to the input 1, stores the calculated number of steps to the storing means 113 and displays the number of steps on the displaying means 110 (step S208).
Next, CPU 108 determines whether there is a finishing instruction from the inputting means 109 (step S209), when there is the finishing instruction, CPU 108 stops supplying the power source to the detecting circuit 114 (step S210) to finish the processing of measuring the number of steps.
When CPU 108 determines that the finishing instruction is not inputted at processing step S209, CPU 108 returns to processing step S203 to repeat the processing.
Further, when CPU 108 determines that the predetermined time period is not elapsed at processing step S205, CPU 108 returns to processing step S203 to repeat the processing similar to the above-described.
Further, when CPU 108 determines that the detecting signal 1B is not inputted to the input 1 at processing step S204, CPU 108 determines whether a predetermined time out time period has elapsed (step S211), when the time out time period has elapsed, CPU 108 stops supplying the power source to the detecting circuit 114 (step S212), finishes the processing of measuring the number of steps and when the time out time period has not been elapsed, CPU 108 returns to processing step S203 to repeat the processing.
On the other hand, when CPU 108 determines that the detecting signal 2B is inputted to the input 2 at processing step S203, CPU 108 determines whether a predetermined time period has elapsed (step S213).
When CPU 108 determines that the predetermined time period has elapsed at processing step S213, CPU 108 determines that the measured person is running (step S214).
As described above, in running, as shown by FIG. 3B, although the detecting signal 1B is not outputted from the second binalyzing means 107, the detecting signal 2B is outputted from the first binalyzing means 104.
When CPU 108 determines that the measured person is running at processing step S214, CPU 108 sets the algorism for calculating the number of steps of the processing of setting the time period of masking (mask time period) for preventing the detecting operation from being carried out during a time period between the detecting signal 2B contiguous to each other to an algorism for running (step S215).
CPU 108 calculates the number of steps based on the detecting signal 2B inputted from the first binalyzing means 104 to the input 2, stores the calculated number of steps to the storing means 113 and displays the number of steps on the displaying means 110 (step S216), thereafter, proceeds to processing step S209.
When CPU 108 determines that the predetermined time period has not elapsed at processing step S213, CPU 108 returns to processing step S203 to repeat the processing.
As described above, the pedometer according to the embodiment is constituted by paying attention to the fact that the frequency of the detecting signal in walking is the frequency lower than the frequency of the detecting signal in running, and the signal level of the detecting signal in walking is at the level lower than the signal level of the detecting signal in running.
That is, according to the pedometer of the embodiment, when the detecting signal 2B by way of only the first amplifying means 103 is inputted to the input 2 of CPU 108, CPU 108 determines that the measured person is running, and carries out the processing of calculating the number of steps by setting a characteristic or a processing (algorism for calculating the number of steps) necessary for measuring the mask time period or the like to that for running.
On the other hand, when the detecting signal 2B by way of only the first amplifying means 103 is not inputted to the input 2 of CPU 108 but the detecting signal 1B by way of both of the first amplifying means 103 and the second amplifying means 106 is inputted to the input 1 of CPU 108, CPU 108 determines that the measured person is walking, and is constituted to carry out the processing of calculating the number of steps by setting a characteristic or a processing (an algorism for calculating the number of steps) necessary for measuring the mask time period or the like to that for walking.
Therefore, when the number of steps is measured in walking and in running, it is not necessary to operate to select the measuring mode manually but the measuring mode is set to a pertinent measuring mode automatically, and therefore, the number of steps can be measured highly accurately. Further, the manual mode setting is dispensed with, and therefore, an effect of capable of using the pedometer simply is achieved.
Further, although according to the embodiment, an explanation has been given by taking an example of the pedometer of a wristwatch type used by being mounted to the arm of the measured person, the embodiment is applicable to various kinds of pedometers of a pedometer of a style of being used in being mounted to the waist, a pedometer of a style of being used in a state of being contained to be held by a bag or the like, a pedometer incorporating a time piece function and the like.
The invention is applicable to various kinds of pedometers of a pedometer of a style of being used by being mounted to the arm, a pedometer of a style of being used by being mounted to the waist, a pedometer of a style of being used in a state of being contained to be held by a bag or the like, a pedometer incorporating a time piece function and the like.
1. A pedometer comprising:
a sensor for detecting a moving motion of a measured person and outputting a detecting signal in correspondence therewith;
first amplifying means for amplifying to output the detecting signal from the sensor;
filter means for passing the detecting signal of a signal from the first amplifying means;

Kelda Helen Roys (born June 24, 1979) is an American tech entrepreneur, business owner, attorney, and Democratic politician.  She currently serves in the Wisconsin State Senate, representing the 26th senatorial district.  She succeeded Fred Risser in 2021, who was the longest-serving state legislator in American history.  She previously served two terms in the Wisconsin State Assembly, was a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in 2012 and for Governor of Wisconsin in 2018.

Early life and education
Roys was born in Marshfield, Wisconsin, and raised in Medford and Madison. Her mother was a social worker, her stepfather was an environmental lawyer, and her father was a retired prosecutor and law enforcement officer. Roys graduated from Madison East High School in 1997.

Roys attended New York University, where she designed her own major in politics, drama, and cultural studies, and received a B.A., magna cum laude, in 2000. In 2004, she received a J.D., magna cum laude, from the University of Wisconsin Law School, focusing on civil rights and international law, and was a participant in the Wisconsin Innocence Project. During and after college, Roys worked full-time as a real estate agent at The Marketing Directors, Inc.

Community involvement

Roys has served on the boards of Clean Lakes Alliance, TEMPO Madison, Citizen Action of Wisconsin, Wisconsin Women's Council, ACLU of Wisconsin, Madison Repertory Theater, Dane County Democratic Party, Sherman Neighborhood Association, Wisconsin Public Interest Law Foundation, Citizen Action of Wisconsin, and the State Bar of Wisconsin's Legal Services Committee.

Political career

Law and advocacy
During law school, she worked at the Wisconsin Innocence Project, as well as several international law firms. After law school, she served for four years as the executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Wisconsin, where she successfully advocated for passage of the Compassionate Care for Rape Victims Act. She currently practices real estate law and serves as CEO and Founder of her real estate startup, OpenHomes.

Politics

Wisconsin State Assembly (2009-2013)
In 2008, Roys won election to the Wisconsin State Assembly representing the 81st Assembly district, filling the seat left vacant by the retirement of David Travis, who had held the seat since 1983. She won a six-way Democratic primary with 30% of the vote and was unopposed in the general election.

After being reelected in 2010, Roys was chosen by her peers to serve as the Democratic Caucus chair in the Assembly. Roys served as vice-chair of the Committee on Health and Healthcare Reform, and later served as ranking member on the Committee on Elections and Campaign Finance Reform and the Committee on Consumer Protection & Personal Privacy.

Roys authored numerous pieces of legislation during her time in office, including public breastfeeding protections, additional income tax deductions for families, expanded college savings programs, reproductive health access, expanding health care coverage, increased training and data collection for law enforcement officers, expansion of AODA treatment services and prevention programs, and a successful statewide ban of Bisphenol A, or "BPA." Roys also publicly fought against 2011 Wisconsin Act 10, and had pledged to repeal the law if elected governor.

2012 congressional election

In 2012, when Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin ran for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Herb Kohl, Roys left her Assembly seat to run for office in the open 2nd Congressional district. She lost to Mark Pocan in a four-candidate Democratic primary.

2018 gubernatorial election

Roys declared her candidacy for governor of Wisconsin on December 7, 2017.

Roys gained national attention when a campaign ad in which she breastfeeds her infant daughter went viral. She was endorsed by EMILY's List, NOW, NARAL Pro-Choice America, Feminist Majority Foundation, former gubernatorial candidate Andy Gronik, former State Senator Jessica King, Representatives JoCasta Zamarripa and Amanda Stuck, and Kate Michelman, Nancy Keenan, Jehmu Greene, Ruth Messinger, Robert Lopez, and Sarah Silverman.

Roys won first place by 12 points in the Democratic Party of Wisconsin State Convention straw poll. In July 2018, the Roys campaign announced that she had raised over $800,000.

Roys came in third in the eight candidate Democratic primary on August 28, 2018, with Tony Evers winning the nomination.

2020 state senate election
In March 2020, Fred Risser, the longest-serving legislator in American history, announced he would retire from his seat in the Wisconsin State Senate at the end of the current term.  Roys immediately announced her candidacy to run for the vacated seat.  The race, in the heavily Democratic region of Dane County, Wisconsin, attracted six other candidates in a crowded Democratic primary, which was also defined by the COVID-19 pandemic in Wisconsin and the protests against institutional racism prompted by the murder of George Floyd. In the August primary, Roys prevailed over her six competitors, winning 40% of the vote.  She was unopposed in the November general election, and assumed office in January 2021.

Business career
In 2013, Roys founded a venture-backed real estate tech company, OpenHomes, a virtual real estate agency that helps people buy and sell homes more efficiently and affordably.

Exclusive: Enyimba doctor gave me the drug! Oladapo reacts to CAF ban for positive PED test
Attacking midfielder Austin Oladapo Photo credit : Enyimba FC
Enyimba midfielder Austin Oladapo has expressed shock at the decision of Africa's football governing body, CAF's one year ban for testing positive for a banned substance.
Oladapo told FL he had been subjected to dope tests by CAF, four times in the last four years at club and national team levels.
The 25 year-old insists he had never failed a dope test and has never administered a banned substance.
On Monday, CAF issued a statement on its investigation concerning the player's urine sample A. The test result came back positive for prohibited substances "Prednisolone/Prednisone".
'It came to me as a shock. I wasn't expecting this from CAF. I've done this dope test four times. I did it in the national team at the CHAN, with Enyimba twice and I have always been confident that I will fail a test,' said Oladapo in an exclusive interview with FL.
'I don't drink or smoke, it's not my lifestyle. I only took a drug prescribed by the club doctor, a pain relief medication, which the club doctor prescribed and he presented the same to Caf.'
The sample A was collected after the Confederation Cup game against Pyramids FC, in a quarter-final tie at the 30 June Stadium in Cairo.
Oladapo was suspended in June and missed Nigeria's international friendly against Mexico on July 4 in Los Angeles.
He expressed dismay at the disciplinary process failure to acknowledge the evidence of a prior report on his case by the Enyimba club doctor.
"I've been in shock since the news got to me. If I were guilty I wouldn't bother, but this outcome is a big surprise.
"We were given the option of an appeal and the Club is on it.
"Even before the test, the club doctor stated the drug I was administered and so it is shocking they didn't acknowledge our doctor had informed them ahead of the test."

Q: re.search "TypeError: expected string or bytes-like object" In my dataframe "df" i have a column "Datetime" containing 500 rows. Each row contains a string object like the following : 2018-12-23T10:42:09.690Z
It would be very helpful to have Date and Time separated in two different columns (Date and Time).
Date
2018-12-23
Time
10:42:09.69
I've tried following Code:
#Input:
string = df['Datetime']
#Date
regex_res = re.search(r'(([0-9]{4})[-]([0-9]{2})[-]([0-9]{2}))', string)
print(regex_res.group())

#Output:
TypeError: expected string or bytes-like object

It does work if i only use on specific string like "2018-12-23T10:42:09.690Z".
#Input:
test = "2018-12-23T10:42:09.690Z"
#Date
regex_res = re.search(r'(([0-9]{4})[-]([0-9]{2})[-]([0-9]{2}))', test)
print(regex_res.group())
#Output:
2018-12-23

Tests i've done:
Checking for Nulls. The Output gave me "False" for every row.
nan_rows = [df['Datetime'].isnull()]

Every row is of the type "class 'str'"
print (df['Datetime'].apply(type))

What am i doing wrong?
Thanks for your help!
Regards,
Elle

A: To extract date and time into separate columns from the existing column you may use
df[['date', 'time']] = df['Datetime'].str.extract(r'\b(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2})T(\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}\.\d*)Z\b')

Or, to get rid of trailing zeros in the millisecond part:
 df[['date', 'time']] = df['Datetime'].str.extract(r'\b(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2})T(\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}\.\d*?)0*Z\b')

The regex is
\b(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2})T(\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}\.\d*?)0*Z\b

See pattern demo
Details

*

*\b - word boundary (remove if the datetime can be glued to word chars)

*(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}) - Group 1 (date): 4 digits, -, 2 digits, - and 2 digits

*T - a T letter

*(\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}\.\d*?) - Group 2 (time): 2 digits, colon, repeated three times, then a . and any 0 or more digits but as few as possible

*0* - zero or more 0 chars

*Z - a Z letter

*\b - word boundary (remove if the datetime can be glued to word chars)

Lo Zeppelin C.II fu un aereo da ricognizione monomotore biplano sviluppato dall'azienda aeronautica tedesco imperiale Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH nei tardi anni dieci del XX secolo.

Impiegato inizialmente nei reparti della Luftstreitkräfte, la componente aerea dell'esercito imperiale tedesco, durante le ultime fasi della prima guerra mondiale, al termine del conflitto venne ceduto alla Svizzera dove rimase in servizio con l'aviazione dell'esercito fino al 1928.

Storia del progetto
Come risultato della veloce evoluzione dell'arma aerea durante tutta la prima guerra mondiale, durante la quale entrambe le contrapposte forze delle nazioni della Triplice intesa e degli Imperi centrali riuscirono a sviluppare aerei sempre più avanzati, all'inizio del 1917, l'Idflieg esortava le aziende aeronautiche a sviluppare nuovi modelli in grado di raggiungere prestazioni superiori a quelle fornite dai velivoli già in servizio nei reparti della Luftstreitkräfte.

In quest'ambito anche la Zeppelin avviò lo sviluppo di un nuovo modello C-Typ, ovvero della classe appartenente ai velivoli biposto armati di una mitragliatrice difensiva e destinati alla ricognizione aerea. Paul Jaray, a capo dell'ufficio tecnico dell'azienda, progettò un velivolo dall'aspetto convenzionale, evoluzione del precedente Zeppelin C.I rimasto allo stadio di prototipo: un biplano monomotore in configurazione traente con carrello fisso.

Il prototipo, realizzato presso lo stabilimento di Friedrichshafen, venne portato in volo nel corso del 1917, quindi proposto alla commissione esaminatrice dell'Idlefig ottenendo l'approvazione alla produzione in serie che iniziò quello stesso anno. Nell'inverno tra il 1917 ed il 1918 risultano costruiti sei esemplari con la produzione interrotta a venti unità causa il termine del conflitto.

Tecnica
Lo Zeppelin C.II era un velivolo dall'aspetto convenzionale che riproponeva l'impostazione del suo predecessore C.I e di quella della maggior parte dei pari ruolo che vennero sviluppati nel periodo: monomotore in configurazione traente con cellula biposto in tandem, velatura biplana e carrello fisso.

La fusoliera, realizzata con una struttura in legno ricoperta da pannelli sagomati in compensato e tela trattata, adottava lo schema classico dei due abitacoli distinti posti in tandem, entrambi dotati di parabrezza, l'anteriore destinato al pilota ed il posteriore, dotato di supporto ad anello per una mitragliatrice difensiva, all'osservatore con funzioni anche di mitragliere. Posteriormente terminava in un impennaggio cruciforme monoderiva caratterizzato dall'elemento verticale dalla forma triangolare ad angoli smussati che si estendeva al di sotto della coda e da quello orizzontale di generose dimensioni e dotato di un singolo equilibratore che si estendeva oltre la fine della coda. Entrambe le superfici di controllo erano di costruzione metallica.

La velatura era biplana, con le ali realizzate con struttura lignea ricoperta da tela verniciata, la superiore posizionata alta a parasole collegata con la fusoliera tramite un traliccio tubolare centrale e con l'inferiore, collocata bassa sulla fusoliera, tramite una coppia di montanti interalari "a V" che presentavano una parziale carenatura in prossimità del vertice inferiore.

Il carrello d'atterraggio era fisso, un semplice biciclo anteriore realizzato in traliccio tubolare posto sotto la fusoliera, dotato di ruote collegate tra loro da un assale rigido ed integrato posteriormente da un pattino d'appoggio.

La propulsione era affidata ad un motore Maybach Mb.IV, un sei cilindri in linea raffreddato a liquido in grado di erogare una potenza pari a 240 PS (176 kW), posizionato all'apice anteriore della fusoliera completamente carenato ed abbinato ad un'elica bipala lignea a passo fisso dotata di protezione ogivale sul mozzo.

Impiego operativo
Gli Zeppelin C.II iniziarono ad essere consegnati ai reparti da ricognizione aerea della Luftstreitkräfte tra la fine del 1917 e l'inizio del 1918 operando fino al termine del conflitto.

Benché le clausole del trattato prevedessero la distruzione degli esemplari sopravvissuti, le autorità di controllo permisero la cessione sotto tacito accordo alla Svizzera che in quel periodo era intenzionata ad espandere la propria flotta aerea. Nel 1920 risultano presi in carico 19 esemplari, in due distinti lotti da 12 e 7 unità ciascuno.

Il modello venne quindi utilizzato dai reparti aerei (Fliegertruppe) dell'Esercito svizzero, particolarmente apprezzato dai suoi equipaggi, rimanendo in servizio fino al 1927.

Preparing for an important job interview or a public speaking event is never easy. However, worry not, as even the most confident individuals have experienced anxiety and nervousness at some point in their lives. Therefore, if you are feeling nervous or anxious, do not beat yourself up. Sadly, many people do not succeed in the job hunts due to the anxiety and nervousness experienced before a job interview. The problem is particularly serious among people looking for jobs in extremely competitive job markets. Fortunately, technology is finally being used to address this perennial problem. Today, virtual reality is proving to be a useful technology to people preparing for job interviews.
Originally developed by NASA in the 1990s, virtual reality is the new technology that is taking the world by storm. This technology has grown in popularity over the last couple of years. Presently, there are quite a number of powerful virtual reality headsets available in the market. These headsets transport users to a world of immersive 3D imagery and alternate realities. App developers have caught up with the virtual reality craze and are now producing apps designed to work with headsets. These apps are being used predominantly as training instruments in different fields.
Introducing VirtualSpeech, a start-up company based in England. Started in early 2015, this company has developed a revolutionary new app called VirtualSpeech. This new app is designed to help you overcome your pre-job interview jitters. Also, this app can help you prepare for a public speaking event by helping improve your public speaking skills. The app works with virtual reality headsets to deliver a host of realistic 3D environments. These environments range from conference rooms, to job interview rooms. In addition to job interviews, this app can also help you get ready for an audition or a business presentation.
The app is available to both Android and Apple users. Amazingly, the app gives you the power to add your slides to the virtual room for a more realistic practice experience. Thus, if you are practicing for an upcoming business presentation, you can have your slides in your virtual preparation room. Inside the virtual rooms of this app, you will find real people. The app developer filmed different groups of people and projected them into the virtual rooms. As if that is not exciting enough, the app developer throws in a live panel for the virtual job interview training sessions. This live panel even asks you questions aimed at helping you think on your feet.
For a truly immersive sound quality, VirtualSpeech features the latest in 360 audio technologies. To add on to this, the app features a selection of virtual rooms for you to choose from. Some of the virtual rooms in this app include small meeting rooms for pitch or business presentation, large conference room for practicing public speaking skills, interview room for preparing for a job interview and an awards room. To make the interview virtual room as realistic as possible, Virtualspeech has questions from leading companies such as Google, Goldman Sachs, Tesla Motors, McKinsey & Co, Deloitte and many more.
I would definitely recommend you to try out this app and master the art of public speaking. Do let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.

Some had wheels that flipped, but these had to be pulled or pushed. Some of the early 19th-century push toy rails were made of tinplate, such as the big, durable, stylized locomotive toys in the U.S., which were painted red and gold and decorated with hearts and flowers. model trains toronto
Around 1875, technological advancements in materials and manufacturing enabled tin to be scraped, cut, wrapped, and lithographed faster than ever before.
Toy trains were revolutionized when Märklin, a German firm which specialized in doll house accessories, sought to make an equal toy for boys where a constant revenue stream could be ensured by selling add-on accessories for decades after the initial purchase. In addition to boxed sets comprising a train and monitor, Märklin offered extra track, rolling stock, and buildings sold separately, creating the predecessor to the modern model train layout featuring buildings and scenery in addition to an operating train.
Electric trains adopted, with the first appearing in 1897, produced from the U.S. firm Carlisle & Finch. As residential use of power became more prevalent from the early 20th century, electric trains gained popularity and as time moved on, these electrical trains grew in sophistication, gaining light, the ability to change direction, to emit a whistling sound, to smoke, to remotely couple and uncouple cars and even load and unload cargo. Toy trains from the first half of the 20th century were frequently made of lithographed tin; later trains were frequently made mostly of plastic.
Pull toys and wind-up trains were marketed towards children, while electric trains were marketed towards teenagers, particularly teenaged boys. It was during the 1950s the modern emphasis on realism in model railroading started to grab on. Consumer interest in trains as toys waned in the late 1950s, but has undergone resurgence since the late 1990s due in large part to the popularity of Thomas the Tank Engine.
Today, S gauge and O gauge railroads continue to be considered toy trains by their own adherents and are often accessorized with semi-scale model buildings by Plasticville or even K-Line (who owns the rights to the Plasticville-like buildings produced by Marx in the 1950s to the 1970s). However, as a result of their high price, one is more likely to find an HO scale or N scale train set at a toy store than an O scale set.
Many modern electrical toy trains contain sophisticated electronic equipment which emit digitized sound effects and allow the operator to securely and easily run multiple remote control trains on one loop of track. In recent years, many toy train operators may operate a train using a TV camera at the front part of the motor and hooked up to a screen, such as computer monitor.

Nellie, who had been involved in politics long before women were given the right to vote, made it official one year after women were extended voting rights, by possibly throwing her hat into the election into Congress. Of course, this was BIG news. This tidbit, from the Zanesville Times Recorder, May 1921 illustrates how very involved Nellie was in politics.

Liz continues to deny her fears over Jason and Willie, while the latter shows intense interest in ancestor Barnabas Collins and his possible connection to a lost cache of jewels. When Burke finds out how predatory Willie is being toward Carolyn, he goes to Collinwood to defend her, but is sent away with mixed feelings by Liz. Burke chides her on her Collins pride as he suspects that she is being dishonest with her reasons for defending Willie.
Is it politically incorrect to say that Liz is asking for it? It is? Okay, then Liz is asking for it. It's class warfare-a-go-go when Liz prevents Burke from twisting Willie like a telephone cord. (Odd that Burke's not a Collins, thus not good enough to solve a problem that's not also a Collins.) If she had? Would the rest of the series even have happened? There's a weird symmetry to the Collins Woes. The message? You just can't find good help these days. What's the trouble? Lower class greed invades Collinwood, wanting the best of the house, like, now, pops. And make it snappy. When they go through extraordinary means to get it? Pow! Willie, looking for wealth that's not his, cracks open Barnabas' coffin. Who's Barnabas? Both the family curse and salvation … a vampire made such by someone from the working class who wanted what she couldn't have. In that case, love. I mention this only in passing.
Episode 206 marks the first appearance by John Karlen. Street tough, yes, but also adept at playing fancy lads of all varieties. He was replacing James Hall, who played the part for five episodes with a darker and less playful edge. Karlen, I suspect, had a streak of vulnerability in his portrayal that Hall lacked. It's fun to side with Willie's schemes, and Karlen, hardly a wallflower, establishes himself immediately. Welcome to Collinwood, Mr. K!
In 2006, twenty days after his wife died, series creator Dan Curtis died on this day of a brain tumor. In happier news, it's Jerry Lacy's birthday.


Credit card rates offered to consumers for new accounts fell by a hair in the last two weeks, while rates for business and student credit cards remained the same, according to the latest rate survey by IndexCreditCards.com.
The average consumer credit card rate was 16.77 percent, down from 16.79 percent two weeks ago. The drop in overall rates was due to a decline in rates for non-reward credit cards, which fell to 15.15 percent from the previous survey's 15.22 percent. Reward credit card rates, which came in at 17.46 percent for consumers, stayed where they were, as did rates for student credit cards and business credit cards.
In the last six months, overall consumer credit card rates have remained within a narrow band: 16.74 percent to 16.85 percent. The rapid ratcheting up of rates the market saw a year ago when issuers were preparing for the onslaught of new federal credit card regulations appears to have subsided. Last year, the overall consumer credit card rate jumped from 14.99 percent in August 2009 to 16.36 percent in December 2009, according to IndexCreditCards.com surveys. The average rate peaked in February this year when it hit 16.85 percent.
Although they didn't budge in the last two weeks, business credit card rates have risen in recent months. The average rate for non-reward business credit cards was 13.75 percent at the end of April, compared to today's 14.72 percent. The average business reward credit card rates in April was 15.74 percent, compared to this month's 16.03 percent.
This is particularly troubling, considering business credit cards don't have the same protections as consumer credit card accounts, which are regulated under the Credit CARD Act. The law, the bulk of which took effect this year, bars credit card companies from raising interest rates on existing balances and new purchases during the first year of an account. It also ended some of the industry's most consumer-unfriendly practices, such as applying payments to balances with the lowest interest rates first (such as purchases), instead of those with the highest rates (such as cash advances).
Student credit card rates, meanwhile, have declined only slightly in the last six months. The average student credit card rate was 16.27 percent at the end of April, versus the current average of 16.23 percent. Still, student rates have risen in the last year. In November 2009, the average student credit card rate was just 15.33 percent, almost a full percent point lower than today's average rate.
When calculating average credit card rates, IndexCreditCards.com accounts for all the rate tiers offered for each credit card in the survey. Often issuers charge three or four rates for a single card, depending on the creditworthiness of the applicants. Consumers with high credit scores are offered the lowest rates, and those with troubled credit histories are offered the highest rates. The highest rates for credit cards included in the IndexCreditCards.com survey exceed 20 percent.

Q: How do I use chrome driver to click a button in a frame in a pop up window, then get back to my original window? I would, naively it seems, expect this code to click a button that opens a popup, switch to the popup, find the results frame (thanks sales force!) click a button there then finaly switch focus back to the original page.
Instead I get a 500 server error on the final switch to 'home'.
What should I be doing? I am using  ChromeDriver 19.0.1068.0
Thanks
PageHelper.CountryButton.Click();
var home = _driver.CurrentWindowHandle;

           foreach (var window          in _driver.WindowHandles)
            {
                if (_driver.SwitchTo().Window(window).Title.Contains("Search"))
                {
                    _driver.SwitchTo().Frame("resultsFrame");
                   PageHelper.Country.Click();
                    break;
                }
            }

           _driver.SwitchTo().Window(home);

A: I have no solution to this but I expect it is related to this issue

Darnton Charles "Don" Davey (7 July 1856 – 7 October 1911) was a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Natal from 1889 to 1898.

Life and career
An opening and middle-order batsman and slow bowler, who also played as a wicketkeeper for Natal in 1889–90, Don Davey was born in England and educated in Colchester. He played a few minor games for Essex before going in his mid-20s to Natal, where he worked as an engineer with the Natal Harbour Board.

Davey toured England with the first South African touring team in 1894, when no first-class matches were played. He suffered a leg injury just when he was beginning to make useful scores, and was unable to play again on the tour.

He was one of the most prominent cricketers in Natal in the 1880s and early 1890s. He made 80, the highest score of the match, when Natal lost to Transvaal by one wicket in the Currie Cup in 1894–95. A few days later he umpired the Currie Cup final. He top-scored (making 78) for Natal in his last first-class innings, against Border in 1897–98.

Davey died of heart disease in Durban in 1911.

A Detailed "League of Gamers" Review
Kristian Howe
Kristian has always played games and insists that he will never grow out of it! His dream is to play with a pro gamer one day.
League of Gamers: Be an Esports Legend is a mobile clicker game developed by Tapps Games. It is very much cut from the same cloth as the more famous clicker games like Cookie Clicker.
This guide discusses all aspects of League of Gamers and gives an honest and detailed opinion of this game.
In summary, this game will likely be interesting to those that are into the gaming and esports scenes of games like League of Legends, Starcraft 2 and CS:GO. It should be noted however, that the lack of complexity, challenges, and online play means that it won't keep you occupied for long.
Before we dive in, let's have a look at the basic game objectives and mechanics.
The overall objective of the game is to develop your character to become a successful, competitive esports gamer.
To do this you tap on the screen to generate coins. With these coins you can purchase:
Teammates (increased passive income)
Game items (increased tapping income)
Gear upgrades (increase combat strength)
Each of these three purchasable choices gives you a bonus, either to help you amass coins faster passively, generate more coins through tapping, or increasing your damage to other players.
There is a basic "offline" league system for you to climb, through the standard ranks of bronze, silver, gold, etc. It should be noted that this is against NPC (non-playable characters) players, not other people.
You climb these leagues by challenging other players, again not other people. After a set amount of time, usually a couple of days, if you are still at the top you climb.
Basic Game Progression
From my experience, the basic game progression is quite smooth. If anything it is probably too easy. In my time playing this game I have never been stuck or unable to progress.
One aspect of the game I like and dislike equally, is that there is no cap to the coins you can generate passively when you are not playing the game. This means that overnight, or over weekends, it will continuously gather coins for you at the rate that your teammates would if you were playing the game.
This leads to very quick progression through the game as after a few days of not playing you can storm through the game with incredibly high combat strength compared to the rating you were at previously, using the windfall gathered while you were offline.
The benefit to this is that the casual player doesn't need to worry about logging in regularly or playing for long periods of time. This is a great positive for more casual players.
This being said, however, if you like a challenge like me then it makes the game too easy. Introducing a cap to the earning potential when you are offline would increase the challenge of the game and make progress more rewarding, rather than just something that happens if you wait long enough.
Once you have progressed through this, there is a prestige system (much like Cookie Clicker) to encourage you to reset and start again. This gives you a prestige currency from which you get bigger and better upgrades to make your next adventure through the game faster.
Unlike many other games within this genre, this game doesn't feature events. In fact, the only time you really interact with the game is to tap to gain coins or to upgrade.
This leaves an extremely small amount of space for a player to have a tactical approach to the game or to play it their own way. A series of abilities, auras, events or the like would add an additional layer of complexity to the game that I think it really needs.
As per the standard clicking or tapping game, there are a couple of ways to go about playing the game.
Active: tapping
Passive: income gained through upgrades
Although the passive income is far superior due to the absence of an offline, passive income. This is certainly an area of the game that could be improved. There is little point in being active in this game, which is a real shame. The simple addition of abilities or "item actives" would make the game far more interesting to actively play. It would certainly give the player something to do whilst waiting for more coins and feel more involved in the game progression.
The league progress aspect is really quite nice within this game. It has a real-life cut off time where you need to be number 1 in the league in order to progress. This is quite nice as it challenges the player to be aware of the timing and be at the top.
The biggest thing that this game lacks though, is online play. Achievements can feel a bit flat when you cannot compare them to other players. If this game were to introduce a leaderboard in the same style as the ranking system (bronze, silver, gold, etc) with other real players, it could add a really interesting aspect to the game. In my opinion, adding player vs player rankings would really grasp the type of audience that this game is looking to engage, gamers.
Overall Theme
Presentation, Artwork, and Graphics
The overall theme is actually pretty good.
I think the graphics and artwork suit the game perfectly. I think the developers took the right path moving towards cartoon-like graphics which are overall clean and simple. That being said, it still carries the overall theme of gaming and esports very well. Those into the gaming and esports industry will get some satisfaction from the overall delivery of the presentation of this game.
Gaming References
There are some definite links back to the real world within this game. The items and players all carry references to actual players/streamers or in-game items if you understand them. The games that it seems to take most of its inspiration from are:
CS:GO (Counter Strike: Global Offensive)
This is a nice addition which keeps the player interested in the items and players.
Soundtrack and Audio
In terms of the soundtrack, the sound effects are nice with a keyboard and mouse sound in the background. The music picks up when you "challenge" the NPC's. There are no major positives or negatives to really take from the sound.
Micro transactions have become commonplace in most free mobile games. League of Gamers does indeed have micro transactions, but in my experience, it does not impact those that want to play for free (which I expect most will).
The game features Gems, which can be used to unlock boosts. I have not found that it greatly affects the game, I see it as more of a pay-to-faster rather than pay-to-win.
This is a definite positive for this game.
My recommendation for this game is simple. If you enjoy competitive, online games and follow Starcraft 2, League of Legends, or CS:GO then you will get some enjoyment from this game.
Its regular references and styling will be interesting to you. The big drawback is that this game lacks any real complexity or challenges to keep you interested for long.
Most true gamers enjoy a challenge, comparing themselves to other players and battling other players in an attempt to climb a leaderboard. This game targets that specific market, but have missed that important feature.
It is this reason that I would suggest that you play the game and engage with it, but don't expect to be hooked.
If you are still unsure, see the video below which demonstrates the basic gameplay very well.

Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) is one of the chief methods for detecting ambient hydroxyl radicals. To measure the absolute concentration of this important atmospheric chemical species, accurately known quenching rate constants due to the dominant gases in the air are of paramount importance. Unfortunately, these rate constants have only been measured under conditions remote from those of ambient air. This dissertation reports the measurement of the rate constants of water, argon, nitrogen and oxygen under ambient conditions. As the LIF is carried out at atmospheric pressure, the OH fluorescence life-time becomes extremely short (about 1 ns). Time Correlated Photon Counting was used to study this short fluorescence phenomenon. The unique feature this study was that the deactivation processes of the excited OH could be described completely by a kinetic model. Detailed theoretical treatments of the LIF processes are presented. The data obtained are consistent with the accepted model, thereby demonstrating the usefulness and validity of the experimental approach. The rate constants (cc molecule('-1) sec('-1)) for quenching by water and argon were accurately measured. The vibrational relaxation rate constant by water (3.4 (+OR-) 0.6 x 10('-10)) is the first value ever reported, while the electronic quenching rate constants for water (k(,Q0) = 7.9 (+OR-) 0.47 x 10('-10), k(,Q1) = 1.48 (+OR-) 0.74 x 10('-10)) are the first measured at atmospheric pressure. The electronic quenching rate constants of the ('2)(SIGMA)(v' = 1) state (k(,Q1)) and the ('2)(SIGMA)(v' = 0) state (k(,Q0)) by argon are k(,Q0) = 0.48 (+OR-) 0.14 x 10('-12) and k(,Q1) = 0.24 (+OR-) 0.06 x 10('-11). The vibrational relaxation rate constant by argon is k(,10) = 0.34 (+OR-) 0.06 x 10('-11). The rate constants for oxygen (k(,Q1) (+OR-) k(,10) = 1.83 (+OR-) 0.43 x 10('-9) and k(,Q0) = 2.6 (+OR-) 0.6 x 10('-10)) are significantly higher than the limited measurements available at low pressure. The rate constants for nitrogen are k(,Q0) = 0.71 (+OR-) 0.08 x 10('-11) and k(,10) = 8.07 (+OR-) 0.65 x 10('-11). All these values are the first obtained at atmospheric pressure and although shown to be consistent with the widely scattered low pressure values, they allow more reliable analysis of ambient OH measurements, and result in a 31.2% increase in the published values.

Hearing Voices, Living Fully
Reviews of Hearing Voices, Living Fully
Hearing V0ices, Living Fully: Living with the Voices in my Head. ISBN: 9781785927188. Published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers, http://www.jkp.com, on June 21, 2016.
Remarkable and inspiring. In a clear and resonant narrative voice, Claire Bien tells how she struggled and eventually surmounted auditory hallucinations and severe emotional turmoil while living a full life: maturing in the first generation of a Chinese-American family, marrying, working full-time, and nurturing a son in a supportive family and community. Selby C. Jacobs, MD, MPH, Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Public Health, Yale School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry
If you come to this book with an open mind and a responsive heart, you will be rewarded with a well-told tale of human aspirations, courageous actions, and notable achievements. From the Foreword by Larry Davidson, Ph.D., Professor of Psychiatry, Yale University School of Medicine.
Bien's memoir witnesses to the resilience of the human spirit and her determination to live a full life, thus illustrating that a person is more than a diagnosis. Therapy, medication, relationships and work are all critical components that enable a person to regain a life despite debilitating symptoms. She is a woman of courage. Nancy Kehoe RSCJ, PhD, Author of Wrestling with Our Inner Angels: Faith, Mental Illness and the Journey to Wholeness
In this candid, informative memoir, Bien, a trained facilitator for the Hearing Voices Network, describes experiencing auditory verbal hallucinations throughout much of her adult life. Having eventually learned to manage this condition, she aims to bring hope to others in the same circumstances. . . . Bien is lucid and calm in looking back at her life and battles, displaying an admirably unflinching self-awareness. . . . and her journey will appeal to others struggling to overcome or better understand the same affliction. (Publisher's Weekly, June 2016) To read the full review, please visit: http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-1-78592-718-8
This is a revolutionary book, written by Claire Bien, who has experienced and dealt with auditory hallucinations-latterly without medication. Now living with a son and successful career, it tells of her determination not to let the disease beat her. …Some of the book can be graphic, as Claire provides a full picture of the 'degree of horror' such a condition can engender; however, she also provides hope of recovery, 'even the most horrifying and bizarre beliefs are not sign and symptom of an irreparably broken mind.'

Apple Working With Valve to Bring Steam Link App to iOS: Phil Schiller
Phil Schiller wants Valve's games and services on iOS and Apple TV
Apple is working with Valve to bring Steam Link to iOS
The Steam Link app for iOS violated several App Store guidelines
Last week Valve claimed that its Steam Link app for iOS was rejected by Apple due to "business conflicts". Now it seems that Apple's Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing Phil Schiller has weighed in on the matter in an email that made its way to Reddit. In it he stated that the company cares "deeply about bringing great games" to the App Store and wants Valve's games and services to be on iOS and Apple TV. In addition to this, he shed light on the reasons behind Steam Link's rejection from the App Store.
"Unfortunately, the review team found that Valve's Steam iOS app, as currently submitted, violates a number of guidelines around user generated content, in-app purchases, content codes, etc. We've discussed these issues with Valve and will continue to work with them to help bring the Steam experience to iOS and Apple TV in a way that complies with the store's guidelines," Schiller's email reads.
Previously Valve issued a statement on the issue.
"On Monday, May 7th, Apple approved the Steam Link app for release. On Weds, May 9th, Valve released news of the app. The following morning, Apple revoked its approval citing business conflicts with app guidelines that had allegedly not been realized by the original review team. Valve appealed, explaining the Steam Link app simply functions as a LAN-based remote desktop similar to numerous remote desktop applications already available on the App Store," the companysaid.
"Ultimately, that appeal was denied leaving the Steam Link app for iOS blocked from release. The team here spent many hours on this project and the approval process, so we're clearly disappointed. But we hope Apple will reconsider in the future."
And while Schiller's email hints at the possibility of Apple reconciling with Valve, users have taken to Change.org with a petition to show Apple how much interest there is around bringing Steam Link to iOS.
