Three Schools Ranked Among Nation's Top 50
Three Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) high schools have been awarded gold medal status—placing them among the top 50 high schools in the nation—in a new U.S. News & World Report ranking of America's best high schools.
Thomas S. Wootton High School was named 34th in the nation, Walt Whitman High School was ranked 40th , and Winston Churchill High School was ranked 42nd. They were the only three schools in Maryland to receive gold medal rankings.
"We are very proud of the students and staff at these three outstanding high schools," said Superintendent Jerry D. Weast. "They are providing a learning environment that encourages all students to be successful and are examples of the high standards that are held by all of our high schools."
U.S. News & World Report, in collaboration with Standard & Poor's School Evaluation Services, analyzed academic and enrollment data from 18,790 public high schools. The study was inspired by a Newsweek magazine ranking—which uses the Challenge Index to rank schools based on Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate tests taken.
"The achievements of Wootton, Whitman, and Churchill high schools are a reflection of our commitment as a school system to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed at the highest level," said Board of Education President Nancy Navarro. "It is very gratifying that these three schools are receiving national attention for their excellent performance."
U.S. News & World Report considered several criteria for the awards.
First, the rankings analyzed performance levels in reading and math on state accountability tests, then factored in the percentage of economically disadvantaged students enrolled at a school to find which schools were performing better than their statistical expectations.
Second, the analysis determined whether a school's least-advantaged students (African American, Hispanic and low income) were performing better than average for similar students in the state, by comparing each school's math and reading proficiency rates for disadvantaged students.
Schools that remained after the first two steps were judged nationally on college readiness, using AP data as a benchmark. A "college readiness index" ranked 12th graders based on AP participation rate before and during senior year and also on how well they performed on AP tests (a pass rate of 3 or above).
Wootton scored 76.6 on the college readiness index, with an 88.9 percent AP participation rate and 79.7 percent AP pass rate. Whitman scored 75.6 on the index, with 81.7 percent AP participation and 85.1 percent AP pass rate. Churchill scored 73.4 on the index, with 78.3 percent AP participation and 89.9 percent AP pass rate.
The top 100 high schools nationwide with the highest college readiness index scores were ranked numerically and awarded gold medals. The next 405 top-performing schools on the index earned silver medals. An additional 1,086 schools that passed the first two steps but not the third were awarded bronze medals.


Response: Children with sickle cell disease exhibit neurocognitive deficits as a consequence of either silent or overt cerebral infarction or disease-related non-infarct central nervous system effects (likely resulting from chronic anemia and hypoxic events). These complications often lead to impairment in executive functioning (e.g., working memory, attention, inhibition, cognitive flexibility), which can make it difficult to focus in class, plan for long-term school projects, remember and carry out multi-step tasks or assignments, and stay organized. The literature on interventions to reduce neurocognitive sequelae of sickle cell disease is extremely limited.
Our research team investigated a promising home-based, computerized cognitive training program (Cogmed) involving repeated practice on performance-adapted exercises targeting working memory with a sample of youth (ages 7 – 16) with sickle cell disease. Of the participants who have enrolled in the study (n = 70), 49% exhibited working memory deficits (<25% in the general population have a working memory deficit) and were randomized to an eight-week waitlist or to begin Cogmed immediately. Participants who used Cogmed demonstrated significant improvements on multiple measures of working memory, while those randomized to the waitlist group only exhibited such improvements after receiving Cogmed. Approximately 25% of participants completed the recommended number of Cogmed sessions (20 – 25 sessions). However, analyses revealed that participants who completed at least 10 sessions (about 50% of the participants) showed comparable levels of working memory improvement.

Lagosians frustrate fight against Covid-19 as they jam emergency helpline with hoax calls
April 9th, 2020 Politics comments
LAGOS State health officials have complained that the members of the public are frustrating their attempts to combat the coronavirus pandemic as 80% of the phonecalls to the dedicated helpline set up are hoax calls.
Nigeria currently has 276 infected with the coronavirus, of which about half of them are in Lagos State. As a result, the Lagos State government has had to be very proactive, establishing two dedicated isolation centres, introducing social distancing measures, providing testing centres and also distributing foodstuffs to the populace to encourage them to stay at home.
In addition to this, a dedicated helpline was opened for anyone feeling coronavirus symptoms, so they can get immediate medical assistance. Professor Akin Abayomi, the Lagos State health commissioner, revealed that 80% of the calls received on the emergency lines are hoaxes, which are very distracting.
During a presentation at the Lagos State secretariat, Professor Abayomi said 31,040 out of the total calls received were hoax calls. He added that many were for fun, to play pranks or to pass insults at health workers, pointing out that they were becoming worrisome and disturbing the interventions of the government in flattening the coronavirus curve.
Professor Abayomi added that 11% of the calls requested information about coronavirus and only 9% of them were valid. Warning that this is not helping matters, the commissioner urged Nigerians to desist from making hoax calls to the lines, pranking health workers as well as the aggressive use of language to staff of the ministry.
He said: "Out of the 9%, only 4$ of the calls actually resulted in a red flag where health workers are either sent to get sample of the patients or retrieve them for isolation and treatment. We are very concerned about these hoax calls, this is why many complain they could not reach us, our lines are being jammed by irresponsible members of the society."
According to Professor Abayomi the ministry is trying to locate those numbers that were genuine but not traceable through other means. He added that the means being deployed include using contact addressed, community intelligence and security agencies to ensure that they do not pose any threats to the community.

A chip or crack in your windshield can easily be repaired if the total area that has been damaged is still currently smaller than the size of quarter. This way you will defend your windshield against any additional cracks from spreading across the rest of the windshield.
While not nearly as cost effective as doing it yourself, a windshield repair professional will save you time and maybe money as well in the long run. There are numerous DIY windshield repair kits that are readily available to consumers, however most utilize sub standard resins which tend to not provide a uniform and professional appearance. For the most part, a windshield repair which is completed by a skilled technician will normally run you around $75 and will usually barely be noticeable. Various minor details, that need to be taken care of, may arise in an auto glass repair and can be the source of much grief for the do-it-yourselfer. In addition to this, the majority of auto glass shops will guarantee their technician's auto glass repair against the damage from developing any further, which is a significant benefit. Here at Windshield Repair Minneapolis we provide a warranty with each repair that we perform. We guarantee the damage not to spread any further or we will take the cost of the repair off of a windshield replacement. Be sure to ask our representative when you call for a quote if you need any more information on our no-leak warranty.
To most people, trying to perform an auto glass repair on your own windshield would perhaps seem a little foolish, but the truth is you might be confident enough to fix your current windshield on your own. If you are ready to try it for yourself there are plenty of nearby automotive parts retailers who stock DIY windshield repair kits which are classified as single use applications. These types of products are typically straightforward, but are not able to deliver professional level results unless it is the perfect break and conditions. The biggest drawback to this, consequently, is in the event you do make an attempt to repair your windshield and it does not work as advertised, then a professional windshield repair specialist is not going to be capable of repairing the affected area once any resin has previously been administered. This could certainly turn out to be quite a bit more costly when you have to shell out the money for a total windshield replacement. Here at Windshield Repair Minneapolis we obviously do not recommend that you take on this task yourself. Therefore, we refer out to expertly trained rock chip and auto glass repair technicians who are much more qualified for the task and at a fraction of the cost of a full glass replacement, it shouldn't be a hard decision. Call us today for a fast and friendly solution.

IN THE HEIGHTS Is a Magical Fix of Friends, Family, and Summer
by DarkSkyLady
May 21 2021 • 8:01 AM
From Athena to Stormy Weather, I'm always filled with excitement when watching a good musical. In The Heights delivers on this, with a lot of beautiful songs combined with an urban summer setting that will remind many of us of our childhoods. Directed by Jon M. Chu based on the Broadway musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda, In the Heights is an ode to the vibrancy and exuberance of Latinx communities.
The story follows Usnavi (Anthony Ramos), a bodega owner in Washington Heights, over three days. He feels conflicted about closing his store to return to the Dominican Republic. The film doesn't focus solely on Usnavi, showing the different perspectives of people who live in the same neighborhood. The Latinx community is not a monolith—no community is or should be—and the film aptly demonstrates the various outlooks and desires of its main cast.
There is Nina (Leslie Grace), who has recently come home to Washington Heights; she struggles with feelings of betraying her community, isolation, and profiling at Stanford University. Usnavi's cousin Sonny (Gregory Diaz IV) has no desire to return to DR but dreams of college. Benny (Corey Hawkins) works with Nina's father, Mr. Rosario (Jimmy Smitts), as a cab dispatcher.
The film shows the lifeline that a community truly is, and how adrift we become when we lose it. You will have favorites in this film, but then you'll keep adding other characters until you have almost the entire crew. The one issue pertains to the diversity of casting, particularly as it relates to skin color. The majority of the cast is paper bag-shade or lighter; it does a disservice to any community when a section of it is barely acknowledged.
The encroaching gentrification of Washington Heights is not a main part of the story, but it creeps throughout. It's not only moving into an established community that's a problem, but expecting said community to conform and mold itself around you. This inevitably hurts people who've lived there all their lives and have built businesses. They must get out or be forced out as costs surge. Interlopers lack that sense of community that is built over time, ignoring that their presence harms the community they now reside in. Where one goes, more always follow.
The music will force you to move—either with a foot tap or a whole merengue body sway. Dancing usually starts in the hips as the music drives you from your seat and this film does that. The songs range from the ensemble titular track "In The Heights" to the hilarious "Benny's Dispatch."
A year spent within a pandemic that has us yearning for connection gives In The Heights an added boost. Not that it needs it. You feel connected to the movie because of the music and good acting—especially Anthony Ramos and Olga Merediz as Abuela Claudia. (Her song "Paciencia Y Fe" is phenomenal!) The directing does justice to the songs with an appropriate magical quality. After all, community is magical and can lessen a blow and amplify joy and hope. Community can find that spark within us when we can't find it for ourselves.
Sadly, the days of getting shaved ices with friends, playing in front of an open fire hydrant, or yelling "I got next" on a handball court are gone for so many of us right now. Still, this film will fill audiences with hope. Hope for their dreams; hope for spending time with family and friends; hope that this pandemic ends so that we can all continue to pursue our passions. Sometimes our passion changes, but our community will always be there to cheer for us. In The Heights reminds us of those moments with loved ones and gives us a sparkling light at the end of this pandemic tunnel. All we need is "paciencia y fe"!
In the Heights comes to theaters and HBO Max on June 11.

This project is the first e-commerce platform based on the Ethereum blockchain, which allows users to sell and buy cars using cryptocurrency as a method of payment. Autobay will become the largest automotive environment in the world, whose main goal is to create legitimacy for the cryptocurrency market by allowing Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Autobay Tokens (ABX) to be used as a financial asset for the goods purchase.
The main disadvantage of this project is the transfer of all settlements between customers for cryptocurrency. In addition to the high volatility of the exchange rate presented by the cryptocurrency, there are still a number of barriers to launching such projects. The first is obtaining permissions and licenses for settlements in crypto-currencies and the second own system token will depend on the state of the global crypto-currency market and its value can change instantly.
I think that this project is interesting due to design and ideas, but the implementation still leaves much to be desired. Maybe if the main minuses would be eliminated, the project can be successful in the long term, but now it is difficult to predict whether the team will be able to remove all the shortcomings.
The main document - Whitepaper is translated into Russian, English and Vietnamese. It means that the project possesses itself as an international one. Another advantage concerns the Roadmap. It is detailed enough and has many steps of platform development. In addition, the team offers for early investors, which is a great motivation for people.
Despite the fact, that on the website there is a video showing the way of buying a car on Autobay platform, there is no wokring product yet. At least it is not mentioned on the website.
Overall, the process of buying a car differs in countries. Moreover, Blockchain is not regulated everywhere by the same way. As a whole, the following project may have future, but in the long-term.
Sofia Medda June 12, 2018
Car sellers will have useful information about viewers of the content and people who are interested in buying a vehicle. So I think if the platform will become popular, car sellers will be interested in cooperation with the project. The team plans to make trials with 2 or 3 car selling companies in an initial stage of the developing of the project. And when partners will be acquainted with the processes and benefits of the platform and the crypto payment, partnerships will be developed and new companies and famous brands will be invited.
The possibility of using Bitcoin and Ethereum as payment instrument will reduce the demand for ABX token.
This is an interesting project, which has a reliable idea and a huge target audience.
Anne Bryn June 10, 2018
Reward Auction will attract more attention to ICO campaign. Users who pay with ABX tokens will have discounts, which will create higher utility for ABX token. No new ABX tokens will be created after the end of ico campaign, which means demand for tokens will grow proportionally the growth of popularity of the platform.
ICO participants, who will by ABX tokens at a discount up to 47% may influence the token's price later, which is not good for other token holders.
The project has an active communuty of like-minded people on Facebook, which is not a common thing for a new startup. I think we can expect that this startup will evolve and grow.
The services being offered are abit unique and will bring many cryptocurrency users to join and benefit from the possibility to acquire cars by use of their digital currencies. At all stages of crowdsales the bonuses being given to the early buyers will see the success of all these stages. Giving bounties and rewards will get more people to know about the project.
The type of market to be occupied hasn't been defined in this description presented. A big delay is seen in the execution of the road map this portrays the incompetence of the team in terms of delivering as expected.
This business module is competitive in a way that it creates more use and acceptance of digital currency which will develop the blockchain from transactions carried out and also value of the currencies used plus the tokens value.

Home Home Buyers Guide Another interest rate cut?
Bank of America Merrill Lynch told its clients Monday that the weakness in the oil industry spreading out to other industries will prompt a further interest rate cut by the Bank of Canada when it meets on January 20. In a note to investors the bank called for a cut of 25 basis points. With some of Canada's largest banks having recently increased some mortgage rates a cut in interest rates may not cut the cost of mortgages, however it could mean that there are no more increases for now either. The consensus among economists is for the BoC to take no action on interest rates in the near-term.

Owen Smith's sacking was correct but a PR loss
Labour MPs attack sacking of Owen Smith over Brexit - BBC News - bbc.com
The decision by Jeremy Corbyn to sack Owen Smith was correct but opponents will use this as proof of his 'communist purge'
by Matthew Clifton
Owen Smith's sacking could prove to be predicament for Jeremy Corbyn because his opponents will compare it to Stalin's purge in Russia, a point already proved by Labour peer, Lord Hain. Although, comparing it to a purge that saw Stalin murder his opponents is quite frankly ridiculous. The media angle will be that Mr Corbyn has begun his 'communist revolution' and that it is a 'danger' to british politics.
The Conservative PR machine will no doubt rally behind those calls and claim it further evidence that Mr Corbyn is a communist. A lie that continues to be peddled by opponents of the Labour leader.
Media hypocrisy
The issue is that whilst many will agree with Owen Smith, the article in the Guardian that outlined his support for a second referendum, left Corbyn with two choices. Firstly, sack him and have used as evidence of a communist purge by most of the media and opponents or don't sack him and be labelled as a weak leader, either way, both being used as reason why he is dangerous to the country. The situation is a PR lose-lose for Labour and Jeremy Corbyn but it shows he has the strength to act when one of his front bench unnecessarily steps out of line, every party needs a unified front bench.
To put this in perspective, Theresa May would have been labelled a strong leader and likely to be compared to Thatcher by most people in the media and politics.
Furthermore, after repeated undermining by Boris Johnson and his views on Brexit, he remains as foreign secretary and it was reported that during the reshuffle that Jeremy Hunt refused to leave his post at the Department of Health and his portfolio was even increased. Plus, former chief whip, Gavin Williamson, reportedly appointed himself as Defence Secretary.
If May sacks someone, she would be labelled as strong, if Corbyn sacks someone, he is labelled as a communist. This merely comes down to a concerted effort by opponents and those who benefit from a Conservative government, to smear Corbyn in a way that is increasingly damaging to British politics.

Moving from San Francisco to Chicago
San Francisco to Chicago
Top Places to Move to from San Francisco:
San Francisco to New York City
San Francisco to Seattle
San Francisco to Austin
San Francisco might have scenic views and enviable weather but it also comes with a hefty price tag. If you have decided to leave the Bay Area and head to the Midwest, there is plenty in store for you in Chicago, Illinois. As the largest city in the Midwest, Chicago has all of the amenities one would expect in a bustling urban hub but without the cost of some of America's larger cities. The city provides ample public transportation, good jobs, plenty of diversity, great food, and lakefront views along with loads of attractions to keep you busy. From its towering skyscrapers to quiet suburban neighborhoods, the Windy City has it all. As you prepare to leave San Francisco behind, here are a few things you should know about moving to Chicago.
Benefits of Moving from San Francisco to Chicago
Chicago isn't exactly the cheapest place to live, but compared to San Francisco, you will feel like you hit the lottery. Overall, the cost of living in San Francisco is 151% higher than it is in Chicago. To put that into perspective, you could maintain the same standard of living by earning $38,000 in Chicago compared to a steep $99,000 in San Francisco. Housing is the biggest factor in the cost of living difference between the two cities. The median home cost in Chicago is $229,100 compared to $1,378,300 in San Francisco! That's a staggering difference and one of the biggest advantages to leaving San Francisco behind and relocating to Chicago.
Steady Job Market
San Francisco may be known for its neighboring Silicon Valley and tech giants like Google and Apple, but Chicago has an abundance of work opportunities itself. Job seekers can find employment across a variety of industries including finance, printing, publishing, manufacturing, food-processing and transportation. It also boasts a significant number of job opportunities with Fortune 500 companies including Walgreens Boots Alliance, Boeing, United Airlines, Allstate, Exelon, and Kraft Heinz just to name a few.
It's Easy to Get Around
Chicago is known for being such a walkable city and it also has the second largest public transportation system in the country. Its famous "L" train and bus options makes it easy to get around the city without owning a car. In addition, it has two major airports which offer direct flights to just about anywhere. Whether you are an avid traveler or just need a convenient transportation method for work, there's an option for you in Chicago.
Sure, it's not the ocean view that you're used to in San Francisco, but Chicgo's Lake Michigan offers 26 miles of beautiful views and public beaches along with over 18 miles of trails and green spaces. It is a popular spot for jogging, walking, biking, swimming, and boating. You can still enjoy those same stunning sunsets and waterfront views that you had on the west coast.
Unique Neighborhoods
What makes Chicago such a cool place to live is the fact that it has 77 vibrant, unique neighborhoods each with its own opportunities to experience what the city has to offer. From parks and businesses to restaurants and nightlife, each neighborhood boasts its own special features. A few of the most popular neighborhoods include Old Town, Hyde Park, Lincoln Park and River North. Whether you prefer a hipster community, historic charm, or family-friendly suburbs, Chicago has a neighborhood for everyone.
Excellent Schools
Chicago can definitely rival San Francisco when it comes to education. This city has smarts and is home to some incredible schools including two world-class universities: Northwestern University and the University of Chicago. There are plenty of other colleges and universities sprinkled throughout the downtown area, making it one of the largest college towns within a big city.
So Much to Do
Chicago is chock full of things to do. The city is rich in history and culture and has enough museums and monuments to keep you busy for days including the Art Institute of Chicago, Shedd Aquarium, and the Chicago History Museum. Chicago is also a shopper's paradise, with the famed Magnificent Miles packed with high-end retail, dining, and entertainment. Foodies will also find plenty of culinary delights in Chicago. It is home to world-class dining as well as plenty of places to check out its famous pizza and hot dogs. Finally, sports lovers will get to enjoy the excitement and frenzy of cheering on their hometown team as they root for the Bulls, Cubs, Bears, White Sox, Blackhawks, the Fire, the Wildcats, and more. In a city like Chicago, you can also expect that there will always be a festival or event of some kind. The summer months are filled with county fairs, loads of concerts, and countless festivals.

A great no cook option for hot summer days, this honey lime bean salsa chicken pita fits the bill for flavor and ease!
Do you guys remember the Honey Lime Vinaigrette Bean Salsa I shared last week? Well I loved eating it so much I started eating it with a spoon, so I decided it was time to make it into something even more! A pita! The perfection for hot days because it requires NO cooking at all.
Because I wanted to keep this "no-cook" I opted to use a can of Premium Chicken Breast Chunk that I picked up at Costco. But you could also use the grilled chicken slices you can pick up in the deli or refrigerator section of the grocery store.
I layered lettuce, bean salsa, chicken, and feta!
This is also very portable. So it makes a great option for picnics. Just assemble on site so the pita doesn't get soggy.
What a delicious pita bread! I just love this recipe! I think I need to try it, I just need to get the ingredients!
Thank you for the recipe. Perfect for my father who is watching his diet because he's restricted from eating sweets and high protein meat. I guess I can omit the chicken and replace with fish fillet instead.
I love pita bread, this is a recipe I have yet to do, I love lamb with my pita's. Especially the No Cook part, lime and bean work great in salsa!
That looks wonderful, super healthy and refreshing!
This looks great! You can never go wrong with healthy tex mex!
That looks delicious. I love the combination of lime and honey.

The Neville strides out*
ByDMcA August 19, 2011 August 20, 2011
Willie 'the Lion' Smith
Stride piano. Something that you don't hear every decade.
The second album I ever bought, (after Astral Weeks), was called 'The Jazz Piano', and featured Willie 'the Lion' Smith, as well as Art Tatum, Earl Hines and many others. All those three were great exponents of stride piano, a genre that is almost never now played. Stride came after ragtime, and boogie-woogie, both of which I find hard to listen to (because of the film 'the Sting' and amiable prat Jools Holland respectively). But stride I could listen to all day. Well maybe all morning.
Stride featured a rolling left hand that alternated a bass note and a chord, coupled with a right hand that could go all over the place, but because of it's structural simplicity no modern jazz players bother with it, to the extent that in 30 years of going to live jazz, I've never heard it played.
Neville 'the Devil' Dickie #
To my surprise I did eventually hear some live this week, played by the UK's greatest living exponent, the nicely-named Neville Dickie. The atmosphere was about as far from authentic as possible, in a London Church, with a crowd of aged, and possibly deaf parishioners, but Mr Dickie did the genre proud. He even made some ragtime and boogie sound interesting, largely by demonstrating how small chordal and rhythmic changes in the left hand created the progression between the genres. It would have been way better in a raucous bar somewhere, and I hear Mr Dickie can occasionally be found at these kind of establishments also. That's where I'll go to see him next.
In the meantime, here's a YouTube clip of Mr Dickie demonstrating the difference between stride and boogie, and playing some great stride. And to see how the original masters did it, here's a link to some stride being played by Willie the Lion. It shows his left hand really striding.
* A title lifted quite discreetly, from occult writer Denis Wheatley**
** Further purloined, some will see, from noted author Hilaire B***
*** A line he stole with subtle daring, from Wing Commander Maurice Baring.
# There is no evidence whatsoever that Mr Dickie is nicknamed 'the Devil'. But it makes a better photo caption.

Also, new camera proves quite effective, so your correspondent doubly chuffed.

Sony's small Android smartphone offers a dual-core processor and plenty of charm

The Sony Xperia U features a 3.5-inch screen and dual-core processor
Fast, smooth Android
Clever Facebook integration
Nice music player
Awful 720p video
No SD card slot
Only 4GB storage
Browser looks dated
Stiff camera button
The Sony Xperia U sits at the cheaper end of Sony's range of Android smartphones, using similar styling to the much larger Xperia S and the slightly larger Xperia P and Xperia Miro, setting it apart from Sony's rounder phones, including the rugged Sony Xperia Go and budget Xperia Tipo.
The Sony Xperia U is the smallest of the three handsets, offering a 3.5-inch TFT display inside the same angular, black case as the Xperia S and Xperia P, and an odd transparent plastic strip acting as part design feature, part information panel and part silly light-up novelty.
Prices are relatively modest for a modern smartphone that says "Sony" on it, with the Xperia U popping up for £189 in the UK, or $340 in the US, SIM-free. But can you really get the style of the Xperia S on a budget?
It's pretty close. The Sony Xperia U is small and solid, offering much the same in balance and build quality as last year's excellent Sony Xperia Ray, with Sony putting three capacitive touch buttons beneath the display, indicated by tiny silvery dots.
There's an explanatory icon embedded in the transparent strip, telling Android newcomers these buttons are, from left to right, Back, Home and Menu.
The touch areas are big and very sensitive to presses, meaning it's easy to use the phone without thinking too much about your actions or having to aim your button stabs.
The smaller 3.5-inch display makes the Sony Xperia U fit the hand well, so one-handed use is possible with ease, too.
Above the screen sits the front-facing VGA camera, which can be toggled and selected within the camera app, producing low-res images that emerge from the camera at 640 x 480 resolution.
There's also a proximity sensor up here so the phone knows if you're holding it to your head and can dim the screen accordingly.
The sides are black with rather flimsy and plasticky buttons, with the 3.5mm headphone jack up top and the USB connector top left.
The right-hand side of the Sony Xperia U is where the party starts, because this edge houses the power button, which is nice and easy to find at the top right, along with the volume up/down rocker in the middle, then the camera button bottom-right.
The chunky power button's easy to find and the physical camera shutter button is always a useful thing to have, especially since the latter brings up the camera app when held down for a second or two, even when the phone's in standby.
The camera button is quite flat and well recessed into the Sony Xperia U's case, meaning you have to press it pretty hard to make it focus and register. We tended to end up using the on-screen button to take shots instead, because it's just easier.
And there's your big, exciting design feature - the strip lights up. In more than one colour. It's quite cool, especially when viewing photos in the gallery, because the Sony Xperia U detects the most prominent colour in the shot, then alters the colour of this strip accordingly.
It's hard to take a photo of. The strip's much brighter and more colourful to the human eye, more so in the dark.
And if you're even more colour obsessed, the black plastic beneath the see-through strip can be unclipped and replaced with something brighter. White. Or Pink. Or yellow. Which is great, if you're a child.
Removing the back is a rather hard and worrying experience. You have to press it down and push it up, which means squeezing the phone quite tight and putting a lot of pressure on the display.
We were quite worried we'd end up breaking the display from the pressure. But we didn't. We should probably stop worrying so much.
Inside the Sony Xperia U sits a full-size SIM card slot, although there's no SD support in here, so you're stuck with the relatively tight 4GB of accessible storage space Sony has put in here.
That's a bit of a shame, but at least the battery is replaceable, which will earn the Sony Xperia U some brownie points in this age of sealed, non-accessible phones, such as the iPhone.
All of this comes together to give the Sony Xperia U a quality, well-made feel, that apes the design of the high-end Sony Xperia S well.
It feels tough and durable, the display and buttons are sensitive, while the smaller 3.5-inch screen is bright and clear, so much so that it could be considered a worthy replacement for many bigger, more costly Android models.
Thanks to Three for sending us the phone

MRL utilises proprietary Japanese production technology to cultivate selected strains of the different mushrooms in California. The strains have been selected for their overall bioactivity and for their stability (purity). The cultivation process is in accordance with the California Organic Food Act of 1990.
These mushroom nutrition products are not extracts, but instead contain both the mycelium and primordia (young fruitbody) of the mushroom cultivated into a biomass on an edible, sterile (autoclaved substrate). The cultivation process ensures that the biomass is free from contamination by other fungi or bacteria and that heavy metals (pesticides) are not present.
Following cultivation, the biomass is dried, powdered and tableted to food grade Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards.

A short film has been produced to highlight the problems people with learning disabilities can face when attending healthcare appointments.
'The Long and Winding Road' was written and performed by the Dramatic Change Theatre Company, which is a Gloucestershire based inclusive group of disabled and non-disabled actors.
The film tells the story of a young man with learning disabilities, and his journey to receive his first annual health check at his GP's surgery.
His fears about what the check involves and how he will get there are played out, demonstrating the reasonable adjustments and clear communication health professionals need to use for patients.
The film was commissioned and produced by ²gether NHS Foundation Trust.
Simon Shorrick, from ²gether's Health Facilitation Team, said that appointments which many take for granted can seem very daunting for people with a learning disability.
He said: "The Long and Winding Road demonstrates in a dramatic way how someone may feel about going for an appointment when they have no idea what it will involve, how they will get there or what they need to do when they arrive.
"If you have a learning disability you may find it harder to understand information. Reasonable adjustments need to be made to make sure that people don't feel nervous about going for an appointment which is your right, and is important to your ongoing health and wellbeing."
Blakeney GP and Learning Disability Champion within Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group Dr Martin Gibbs has supported the film's production.
He said: "I believe the film helps us to see our services, and indeed ourselves, through the eyes of our patients with a learning disability."
The film is being shown to healthcare professionals across Gloucestershire, as a way of encouraging them to make reasonable adjustments to ensure people with learning disabilities have equal access to services.
Adjustments which can be made for people with learning disabilities include:
· Ensuring the patient is seen promptly and does not need to queue or wait
· Providing information in 'easy read' format
· Finding out the patient's needs in advance and meeting those needs where possible

One of the goals of education is for learners to not only take in new knowledge, but also be able to unleash it in new and creative ways. Learning (the acquisition of skill or knowledge) is a process, and memory is the expression of that process. The expression may be as simple as being able to repeat information that was taught (regurgitation, recall), or as complex as being able to apply that new knowledge to new situations (application and transfer), and to combine elements in innovative ways (creating). Learning and memory are therefore central to education, and yet it is surprising how little teachers learn about and discuss how individuals learn and recall information. Cognitive and educational psychology researchers start at the basics—memory dynamics and the underlying processes that are engaged in learning—and leverage this knowledge in designing instruction. We begin this bibliography with a couple of historical overviews that highlight how the dominant approaches to learning and instruction have changed over the past century, and then focus in particular on the cognitive, information-processing approach. Two prominent cognitive frameworks will be discussed that approach strategies for enhancing learning and memory in different ways: cognitive load theory and desirable difficulties. The cognitive load theory framework starts with the fact that cognitive processing capacity (e.g., working memory) is highly limited. In this framework, the focus for improving learning is to reduce cognitive load to better direct learners' attention to critical features of to-be-learned materials, hence improving encoding. In the desirable difficulties framework, in contrast, the focus for improving learning is to increase active and elaborative processing of information. In many ways, the side effect of this is not to reduce difficulty for the learner, but to increase the experience of difficulty and challenge. The focus of the desirable difficulties framework is not just on improving the initial encoding of information, but also on its maintenance and retrieval. Many learning strategies and instructional design techniques come out of these frameworks, with substantial effects on learning. We not only list the literature on each learning strategy, but also consider how these strategies interact with individual differences, and with learners' metacognitive judgments and beliefs. What is apparent from the literature is that more popular strategies are often relatively ineffective, while effective strategies are often underappreciated. Learning and memory can be enhanced in educational settings, but strategies and techniques must be learner-centered and based on empirical evidence.
The references in this section are intended to provide a context to understand the references in the other sections. The first subsection contains Historical Overviews, which detail the ways in which psychologists have approached memory and education in the past, to understand how we approach memory and education in the present. The following two sections discuss two different frameworks for understanding how to improve learning—one in which learning is made easier (cognitive load theory), and one in which learning is made more challenging (desirable difficulties and productive failure). These two frameworks may at first glance appear to be incompatible, but they both ultimately emphasize the importance of underlying cognitive processes, and together they illustrate the care and complexity that is required to understand how to improve learning and instruction. Finally, the Literature Overviews section directs the reader to a few resources that summarize the different areas of research to provide specific recommendations for learners and instructors.

Two-thirds of Australian travellers enjoy their vacations more when they know they have scored a great deal, a recent survey has revealed.
The study, conducted by Internet travel company Travelzoo, also found that 56 per cent of Aussie travellers book their holidays based purely on the best available deals, and not on locations.
"It came as little surprise that our research also revealed holiday package deals are king, with 71 per cent of respondents saying they always look for package deals and want to see more of them," Travelzoo Australia and Singapore managing director Brad Gurrie said.
According to Mr Gurrie, a holiday for Australians is all about having a "life experience", be it discovering other cultures or simply "what's in your own backyard".
The survey, which polled 1,786 subscribers to the Travelzoo website, further revealed that 55 per cent of travellers would book a holiday simply because an offer was "too good to pass up".

The Diamir District is bounded by the Astore District in the east, Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the southwest (separated by the Babusar Pass or Babusar Top), Neelum District of Azad Kashmir in the south, the Ghizar District in the north and northwest, and the Gilgit District in the north and northeast.
Before the Karakoram Highway was opened in 1978, the only road reaching Gilgit town from the south was a rough track north from Balakot to Babusar Pass (via Kaghan, Naran, Besal, and Gittidas) and farther north through Babusar Gah to Chilas. The road up to Besal is now in better condition, but from Besal to Babusar Pass, the road is still a rough track.

Q: Remove image dynamically using jquery I know using jquery, If I wanna load image runtime on click event, this syntax is used,
    $("#open_door").attr("src", "../assets/door_open.gif");

but If I wanna remove the same image runtime on another button's click event, then?? I want the syntax for the same

A: If you can't remove the image from the dom, hide it:
$("#open_door").css("display","none");

A: You could simply change the visibility css property of the elemenet to hidden.  This will allow it to keep its position in the page layout, but not be seen.
$('#open_door').css('visibility', 'hidden');

A: You could do:
$("#open_door").attr("src", ""); // Set the src to "" (nothing)

Or:
$("#open_door").remove(); // remove #open_door from the DOM.

Found this somewhere else on SO, regarding your comment on your question:
$("#myimg").removeAttr("src").attr("src", "");

Or as a last resort you could upload a completely white image to your server, and display that instead:
$("#open_door").attr("src", "path/to/white/image.jpg");

A: I had a similar problem with Safari.
It wouldn't let me set the attribute to a blank value.  I wanted a button to trigger a short, gif animation to be played ONCE ... in this case, Spock giving Kirk a good SMACK!!
Here's the animation:
http://www.lowbird.com/data/images/2012/06/tumblr-lq96pfhnuq1qlc8fao1-400.gif
My solution is a bit cumbersome for my taste, but I used the .hide() method. You just have to .show() the div again at an earlier time if you want the animation to display again.  Here you go:
 $('#smackKirk').on('click', function(){
    $('#animate').show(); // not necessary in chrome
    $('#animate').attr("src", "http://www.lowbird.com/data/images/2012/06/tumblr-lq96pfhnuq1qlc8fao1-400.gif");
    setTimeout(function() {
        $('#animate').attr('src',"");
            $('#animate').hide(); // not necessary in chrome
    }, 2400);

SUMMARY: Mobile surpasses Web traffic in India, so much so that Jagran Prakashan, parent company of Dainik Jagran, no longer upgrades its Web sites. Following its audience, the company is mobile-first in its internal innovation efforts.
The Hindi-language daily newspaper Dainik Jagran engages its audience of more than 16.6 million readers with an array of apps for an assortment of purposes.
Of its 18 apps, eight are related to education issues, including apps for exams, such as the India General Knowledge Quiz, and education apps focused on languages, current affairs, and other topics. Dainik Jagran also offers a general news app, with almost all the content of its Web site available and updated constantly, in tandem with the site. It also has apps on popular topics such as entertainment and sports.
Dainik Jagran's parent company, the Jagran Prakashan media conglomerate, has shifted its strategic focus in response to the growth of mobile technology in India, where 50% of traffic to the company's properties now comes from mobile.
"The first access in India will be through a mobile phone rather than through the Web for most readers," says Sukirti Gupta, chief executive of MMI Online, which manages Jagran Prakashan's digital portfolio. By next year, the company expects that 60 to 65% of its traffic will be mobile.
"They're very, very key," Gupta says of apps. "We're actually now moving almost everything, because in India the traffic is moving pretty much to mobile, so we are just focusing 100% of our development effort on app development or mobile site development," she says, adding that the company is no longer upgrading its Web sites.
The shift has been sudden. Dainik Jagran launched its first app less than two years ago, and in 2015 made apps its primary focus. The media company's new strategy is part of a broader embrace of mobile technology across virtually every sector of the Indian economy.
All of Dainik Jagran's apps are developed internally and are available for free download, with revenue coming from banner ads and efforts in progress to introduce full-screen ads that appear after a set number of page visits.
The company is still in an early phase of developing its apps, Gupta says, and it doesn't yet have sophisticated user analytics. In looking at future mobile products, the company has focused its competitive strategy on the size of its apps, their speed in loading, and the functionality of the user interface — how quickly they allow users to find the content they want.
The goal, of course, is to nudge those numbers up, to crack the difficult nut of user engagement.


The price of December futures on Brent fell to $79,67 per barrel. The cost of the futures on WTI – up to $is 70.94 per barrel.
The price of Brent crude oil moved lower in Friday, October 12, and fell below $80 a barrel for the first time since September 24.

An international coalition led by scientists at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute in Herston, Australia, has identified 48 candidate susceptibility genes for breast cancer risk, including 14 genes at loci (chromosome regions) not yet reported for breast cancer.
Their findings, published June 18 in the journal Nature Genetics, provide new insights into the biology and genetics of breast cancer, the most common cancer among women in many countries around the globe.
"This study has provided substantial novel information to improve our understanding of breast cancer genetics and biology," said Wei Zheng, MD, PhD, MPH, the paper's senior author and director of the Vanderbilt Epidemiology Center.
Genetic factors play an important role in breast cancer etiology (causation), said Zheng, who is the Anne Potter Wilson Professor of Medicine and chief of the Division of Epidemiology in the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.
To date, genetic markers in approximately 170 chromosome regions have been identified in association with breast cancer risk. However, these genetic factors explain only a small fraction of heritability for breast cancer and the genes responsible for the associations remain unknown in most of these regions.
To identify novel breast cancer risk loci and likely causal genes, the researchers conducted a transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) of nearly 123,000 women of European descent who had been diagnosed for breast cancer and 106,000 controls (women without disease). More than 200 investigators in 22 countries contributed to the study.
The researchers first built mathematic models to predict expression levels of genes across the human genome using data from a small set of women whose breast tissue samples were analyzed for gene expression.
Then they used these models to predict gene expression in a large number of breast cancer patients and controls using data about their genetic make-up. Finally, genetically predictive expression levels of genes in cases and controls were compared to identify genes that were expressed differently in the two groups.
"This research design is very cost-efficient and powerful in identifying candidate risk genes for breast cancer," said Lang Wu, PhD, a former Vanderbilt postdoctoral fellow and now research instructor in Medicine, who is one of two first authors of the paper.
Of the genes identified in the study, the researchers selected 13 genes for functional analyses. In 11 cases, silencing the genes influenced cell proliferation and the ability to form colonies, two characteristics of tumor growth.
This provided further evidence that the identified genes might be involved in breast cancer risk. The findings provide multiple new targets for further study and raise hopes for development of more precise risk prediction strategies for breast cancer, the researchers said.
The functional analyses were led by Georgia Chenevix-Trench, PhD, head of the Cancer Genetics Laboratory at QIMR Berghofer and the paper's co-corresponding author with Zheng.
Other Vanderbilt faculty members who contributed to the study were Jirong Long, Ph.D., Xingyi Guo, PhD, Xiao-Ou Shu, MD, PhD, MPH, Qiuyin Cai, MD, PhD, Bingshan Li, MD, PhD, and Martha Shrubsole, PhD.
The research was supported in part by National Institutes of Health grants CA158473, CA148677, CA218892 and CA160056.
