Jürgen Gmehling (* 13. Januar 1946 in Duisburg) ist emeritierter Professor für Technische Chemie an der Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg.

Biografie
Seine Laufbahn begann er mit einer beruflichen Ausbildung als Chemielaborant bei der Duisburger Kupferhütte, bevor er erst Chemieingenieurwesen an der Ingenieurschule Essen und dann Chemie an den Universitäten in Dortmund und Clausthal studierte. Das Chemie-Diplom erhielt er 1970 von der Universität Dortmund und den Doktortitel (Dr. rer. nat., Anorganische Chemie) 1973. Danach arbeitet er als Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am Lehrstuhl für Reaktionstechnik im Fachbereich Chemieingenieurwesen der Universität Dortmund, später als Privatdozent und außerordentlicher Professor nach seiner Habilitation 1982. 1977 bis 1978 verbrachte Gmehling ein Jahr bei Professor John M. Prausnitz in Berkeley, USA.

1989 wurde Gmehling zum ordentlichen Professor der Technischen Chemie an die Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg berufen. Dort war er im Institut für Reine und Angewandte Chemie (IRAC) bis zu seinem Ruhestand im Jahre 2011 tätig.

Forschungsgebiete
Schwerpunkt seiner Arbeit ist die Verfahrensentwicklung. Dabei bilden die Arbeiten an Software zur Prozesssynthese und Prozesssimulation, sowie die Messung, Sammlung und Abschätzung von (im Wesentlichen) thermophysikalischen Stoffeigenschaften die wichtigsten Teilbereiche. Die folgende Liste führt etliche der Arbeitsthemen kurz und knapp auf, ist jedoch keinesfalls vollständig.

Messungen
 Phasengleichgewichtsdaten (Dampf-Flüssigkeit-Gleichgewichte, Flüssig-Flüssiggleichgewichte, Fest-Flüssig-Gleichgewichte, Gaslöslichkeiten, Mischungswärmen, Aktivitätskoeffizienten u. a. m.)
 Reinstoffdaten (Phasenübergangswärmen, Dampfdrücke, Dichten, Viskositäten)
 Reaktionskinetik (heterogene Katalyse)

Datensammlungen
Gmehling begann in den 1970er Jahren mit der systematischen Auswertung der wissenschaftlichen Literatur mit dem Ziel, eine Datenbank für Dampf-Flüssigkeit-Gleichgewichte aufzubauen. Die thermodynamischen Daten wurden für die Entwicklung einer neuen Methode zur Abschätzung von Aktivitätskoeffizienten namens UNIFAC verwendet. Diese Datenbank wurde weiter entwickelt und ist heute unter der Bezeichnung Dortmunder Datenbank bekannt.

Modellentwicklung
Gmehling entwickelte mit seinen Mitarbeitern und Kooperationspartnern, insbesondere Åge Fredenslund von der Technischen Universität in Lyngby, Dänemark, Modelle zur Abschätzung diverser thermodynamischer und thermophysikalischer Daten:
 Aktivitätskoeffizientenmethoden wie UNIFAC (siehe auch Gruppenbeitragsmethoden) und Erweiterungen. Für diese Arbeiten wurde ein Industriekonsortium ins Leben gerufen, in dem sehr viele namhafte deutsche und internationale Konzerne vertreten sind.
 Zustandsgleichungen
 gE-Modelle
 Vorhersage von Reinstoffeigenschaften

Softwareentwicklung
Wesentliche Entwicklungen sind neben den Implementierungen der selbstentwickelten Methoden auch
 ein Expertensystem bspw. zur Hilfsmittelauswahl für die azeotrope und extraktive Rektifikation.
 Parameteranpassungsprogramme für gE-Modelle und viele Reinstoffgleichungen

Weitere Arbeiten
Gmehling arbeitet auch an der Erforschung und Optimierung chemischer Produktionsverfahren wie beispielsweise reaktive Rektifikation und an Membranprozessen.

Auszeichnungen

 1982: Arnold-Eucken-Preis von der GVC (VDI-Gesellschaft Verfahrenstechnik und Chemieingenieurwesen)

Firmengründungen
Gmehling hat zwei Firmen gegründet:
 Die DDBST GmbH wurde 1989 gegründet, um die Arbeit an der Dortmunder Datenbank fortführen zu können.
 Die LTP GmbH wurde 1999 gegründet. Ihr Hauptarbeitsfeld ist die experimentelle Bestimmung von thermophysikalischen Stoffdaten.

Veröffentlichungen
Gmehling hat neben zahllosen wissenschaftlichen Artikeln auch einige Bücher veröffentlicht. Neben Lehrbüchern zur Thermodynamik zu Grundoperationen und zur Technischen Chemie sind es vor allen Dingen gedruckte Datensammlungen, die von der DECHEMA in der Chemistry Data Series und vom Wiley-VCH-Verlag (Azeotropic Data) veröffentlicht wurden. Diese Datensammlungen sind allesamt per Software erzeugte Auszüge aus der Dortmunder Datenbank.

Gutachtertätigkeit
Gmehling ist Mitherausgeber von drei wissenschaftlichen Zeitschriften und Gutachter bei etlichen anderen. Für die Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft sowie für die tschechische, finnische und die slowenische Forschungsgemeinschaft übt er ebenfalls gutachterliche Tätigkeiten aus.

19 Heshvan 5783 – November 13, 2022

Until recently traveling by bus from Kiryat Sefer to the charedi moshav Tifrach in the south of Israel, involved a long journey during the week. Travelers needed to get a bus to Jerusalem or Bnei Brak and change there, involving hours of travel. The only direct buses were on Friday and Motzei Shabbos.
But since the opening of several popular simcha halls in Kiryat Sefer, buses now travel between the two localities almost every evening to bring people to the smachot and return them home later on.
Avi's mother had attended a friend's wedding and had left her two daughters at the hall still enjoying the dancing. She had taken a detour to see her son and his family who lived in Kiryat Sefer before making her way to the bus station to catch the last bus back to the moshav with her daughters.
Avi accompanied her to the bus stop and they chatted as they waited for the teenagers to arrive and for the bus to fill up. There was still another ten minutes until it was due to leave.
The minutes went by and Avi started to check his watch concerned. Suddenly his sister called him, "We're on the wrong bus – we aren't going to get to the central bus station for another 15 minutes. You have to hold the bus up."
Avi rushed over to the driver and asked him to just wait an extra few minutes until his sisters arrived.
" No way – I have to leave on time."
Avi called his sister back, "Change buses and go to our house. You're not going to get here on time and the driver won't wait so you'll spend the night with us and go home tomorrow."
"No I can't. I have to get home tonight. And in any case you know that Yaffa will be totally disconcerted and she'll be in a terrible state if we don't go home."
Yaffa was their sister who had Down's Syndrome and Avi knew it was not a good idea to tell her there was a change of plans as she needed the security of her mother and her home.
Avi tried to appeal to the bus driver once more but to no avail. He was determined to leave on time.
But oddly enough he still hadn't moved even though it was already several minutes past the allotted time.
Avi had no idea why he hadn't moved off but he quickly called his sister back and said, "Stay on the bus and run over here quickly when you arrive. Although he says he's not waiting he hasn't actually driven off yet."
Avi saw that the station inspector was standing by the bus and he was apparently stopping the bus from moving off. Had he heard their conversation and felt sorry for Avi's sisters? It was not likely as he hadn't been there at the time when Avi had spoken to the driver.
Eventually his sisters' bus pulled up and the two girls ran over to the Tifrach bus. Yaffa was welcomed into her mother's arms and the three of them settled down in their seats.
A minute later the inspector waved the bus off and it set off on its way.
Avi stood there baffled. He walked over to the inspector.
"Tell me, why did you stop the bus leaving on time?"
He shrugged his shoulders. "I really don't know. I got orders from above," he said pointing upwards, "telling me not to let the bus go until he gave his OK. So that's what I did."
Avi smiled – its possible the inspector' definition of 'above' and Avi's weren't exactly the same. But Avi knew for sure just where the call had come from.

Need Extra Space in Your Poway Home? Consider Room Addition!
Every home, no matter how much you cherish it, can at one point become too small for a family. Fortunately, there's no reason to move out and leave all the good memories behind if you just need some extra space for you and your family. Room addition is one of the great alternatives to relocating for homeowners who love their neighborhood and their family home. Whether you need extra room for your kids, a room for a home office, or just a bigger bathroom, room addition is the best solution to the problem you will realize was not so big after all. If the zoning and land law allows it you are already halfway done! Consult our agents at Remodel Works for any questions you might have about room additions in San Diego.
Types of room additions and which one is the right for you?
The first thing to ask yourself is how much additional space you actually need. It mostly depends on your needs and your activities. For example, you could add a little extra space to your living room and make a home theater for the whole family to enjoy. When you determine how much space you need you can proceed and choose between several room addition options.
Sometimes, you might need only about 5 or 6 extra feet in a single direction. If this is the case a "bump out" might be the most suitable option for your room addition project. If the neighboring room is wide enough you can just attach the hanging room. This type of room addition allows for a considerable amount of extra space, whether you want to extend your kitchen, or add a large corner bathtub to your bathroom.
A single room addition is the next step on the scale. Adding an average sized room of around 120 square feet might just be enough for that living room you've wanted ever since your family got a new member. The cost of this type of addition is calculated by square foot. Be mindful though, room additions can be a bit more expensive if there are additional expenses for any additional plumbing and electrical installations this project might require, if you are adding a new bathroom for example. The most common additions of this type are used for an additional bedroom or a home office.
If your home is really narrow you might consider a two-floor room addition as your best option. The most common practice for this type of addition is to attach the two story room to the house, which means that you'd only need to extend the hallway in order to be able to reach the new rooms. These two floor rooms can be completely detached from your house, ideal for guests, in-laws and for renting.
Maybe the best option on this list is to go up instead. Adding a second story can be used from adding a single room to a few additional rooms, depending on how much additional space you need. This is a great option for homes with small yards and ones in the old neighborhoods, so that your family can grow rather than move out of the place you have so many fond memories of. Adding an additional story will not only increase your home value, but can vastly improve your life quality.
If you are considering adding some extra space to your family home, contact Remodel Works, the leading company in room additions in San Diego. Our friendly agents will book your free consultation with our architects and you will receive a free quote, with no further obligations! We serve all cities across San Diego County: Poway, Chula Vista, El Cajon and many others.

Teacher Jobs: Teacher Assessed Grades guidance and 4 Helpful tips
20 May 2021 | 10 mins
In response to the disruption of classroom-based education across the UK, caused by COVID-19, the government announced that all statutory assessments, tests, and qualifications due to take place in the spring/summer of 2021, would not go ahead as planned. Those in teacher jobs will experience huge changes as a result of this.
Teacher Assessed Grades (TAG) Systems
All pupils due to take Key Stage 1 and 2 assessments, GCSEs, AS levels, A levels, other general qualifications, and some vocational and technical qualifications such as BTEC, will instead be awarded grades based on teacher assessment. This applies to all schools and colleges in England, Wales and Northern Ireland who deliver Ofqual-regulated qualifications offered by Assessment and Qualifications Alliance (AQA), Oxford, Cambridge, and the Royal Society of Arts (RSA/OCR), Pearson, the Welsh Joint Education Committee (WJEC) Eduqas, Award Scheme Development Organisation and Awarding Body (ASDAN), and City & Guilds.
This method of assessing pupils differs from the predicted grades, issued in June 2020, which were based on the school's judgement of what the candidate would have achieved, had the exams taken place.
The school-assessed grades in June 2021 will be based on actual achievement. Teacher Assessed Grades (TAG) are the teacher's judgment of the pupil's demonstrated achievement. They cannot speculate whether the individual could have done better had there been no pandemic or disruption to the learning process.
In addition to TAG, teachers will also be required to submit a pupil ranking order.
This is the order that pupils rank within each grade for each subject. For example, if there are 10 students who are awarded a Grade 5 in GCSE Maths, they must rank those 10 students in order 1 to 10, with 1 as the highest attainment.
In the summer of 2021, exam boards will ask schools and centres to generate a TAG for each of their pupils in every subject.
These grades will be based on a range of evidence which demonstrates the pupil's performance on the subject content, taught throughout the year. This evidence should relate to subject specific content and reflect the type of questions and tasks pupils would normally undertake in preparation for the examination.
The set questions and tasks should be accessible for students of all abilities, allowing them to demonstrate performance that supports higher grades.
The following types of evidence are recommended by the government.
Work produced in response to assessment materials provided by the exam board, including groups of questions, past, practice or sample papers.
Non-exam assessment (NEA) work, also known as coursework.
Work produced that follows the same format as exam board materials and has been marked in a way that reflects exam board marking schemes. This can include:
Substantial class or homework (including those that took place during remote learning).
Internal tests taken by pupils.
Mock exams taken over the course of study.
Records of a pupil's capability and performance over the course of study in performance-based subjects, such as Music, Drama and PE.
Records of each pupil's progress and performance over the course of study.
Gathering evidence
The Department for Education (DFE) requires teachers to gather a range of evidence in order to form judgements on the grade level of each pupil. Although evidence can be from anytime during the pupils' course of study, the DFE advises teachers to balance continued teaching time with any assessments they need to undertake.
In order for school-assessed grades to be based on a similar amount of work as used to determine an examination grade, the general guidance recommends an evidence portfolio of three substantial pieces of work for each pupil, in each syllabus. Each one of these pieces of evidence should be:
A piece of work that has taken at least one hour of concentrated work to complete.
Or, a combination of shorter tasks in order to create a single substantial piece of work, that has taken at least one hour of concentrated work to complete.
A completed paper dated before June 2020.
Or a coursework component prepared according to syllabus requirements.
Four Helpful Tips
Work done at home can be included as evidence to support a teacher's judgement if it cannot be produced in the school environment because of the pandemic.
Evidence can be from any time during the pupils' course of study. In many cases the quality of work improves during the course of study, so that later work is at a higher level. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the level of progression may have delayed because of prolonged periods of school closure. In these circumstances, school/centres may wish to include earlier work in the pupil's portfolio, so that the grades reflect their best work.
Exam boards will provide "optional" questions for each subject, to aid teachers in reaching grades alongside other evidence, such as coursework and mock exam results.
Pupils should only be assessed on what they have been taught, ensuring sufficient coverage of the curriculum and to enable progression. When determining the grade, teachers should reflect the standard at which the pupil is known to currently perform.
Standardisation of grades
The standardisation of grades model will operate at subject level, not at school/centre level. For example, the standardisation for GCSE English language will not be affected by the standardisation of GCSE history or A level English language.
Within each subject, the standardisation model will consider each school/centre individually, using historical results and the prior achievement of current pupils.
There have been discussions regarding how the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the freedom of information act could come into play when teachers are using email to discuss how to grade pupils, as anything that a teacher writes down must be submitted if/when a pupil requests access to their data. If you feel unsure on this matter, we recommend asking your Head Teacher for guidance or research how GDPR applies in this circumstance. Click here for more information from Schools, Students and Teacher (SSAT) website.
We have complied a list of the main exam boards, with a link to their advice on this summer's exam changes:
AQA - a step-by-step video guide to gathering a range of evidence for grading.
OCR - detailed support and guidance for determining and submitting pupils' grades.
Pearson (Edexcel) - support and guidance documents and pre-recorded and live training sessions to support teachers in determining grades.
ASDAN - retaining qualification integrity through regulated arrangements that supports learners.
WJEC - outline of plans for the delivery of GCSE, AS/A levels, Skills Challenge Certificates and Vocational Qualifications.
City &Guilds - information and guidance relating to the adaptations for assessments and examinations.
It is important that all judgements relating to pupils' grades are fair, objective and reasonable. Here is a helpful guide from Ofqual with more information.
You can use Ofqual's qualification explainer tool to find out which qualifications can or cannot be awarded through a Teacher Assessed Grade and Ofqual has also produced guidance for teachers on the submission of these grades.
Key dates for your diary
26 May - grades are submitted from this date.
18 June - deadline for the submission of data, including grades for the endorsements.
Every School/Centre will be asked to provide evidence of student work. Exam boards will request evidence for at least 1 A level subject and 2 GCSE subjects (one of which is likely to be either English language or maths).
All Schools/Centres will be asked to provide the evidence used to determine the grades for at least 5 students for each of these subjects.
Week beginning 21 June - Exam Boards will let Schools/Centres know which subjects and students have been selected.
Evidence will need to be returned to exam boards within 48 hours of the request.

Home / After the Revolution: Economic Reconstruction in Spain - Diego Abad de Santillán / Part 2: The New Structure
Council of Transport Industry
The Council of the transport industry will be one of the most important in the new economy. Its coordination must be perfect and we believe will be more easily achieved through the suppression of private enterprise based on conflicting competitive interests.
Spain has 16,000 kilometres of railroad, according to statistics in 1930, and employs 150,000 railway men and employees. The principal lines are the M.Z.A. (Madrid, Zaragoza, Alicante) and the Norte. The national roads constructed cover 52,000 kilometres. There are besides 7,000 kilometres of provincial roads and 10,000 kilometres of local roads. However, almost half of the towns in Spain are still isolated and out of contact with the modern arteries of life.
In 1935 Spain possessed a merchant fleet of 1,265,321 long tons. Of this number, close to 300,000 tons are not in operation, with the result that in Vizcaya alone close to 15,000 seamen are unemployed. Not being an important exporting country, Spain does not find itself with the necessity of competing with the maritime transport of other nations. It possesses a sufficient tonnage to take care of the country's local and foreign trade. There are, however, excellent shipbuilding yards in Spain, capable of producing commercial and war ships, with exclusively national material. In 1921 such construction amounted to 37,023 tons and in 1931 the figure of 48,117 tons was reached.
Commercial aviation is also on the increase. 1920 registered 3,215 hours of flying covering 468,040 kilometres. In 1930 the hours of flying numbered 4,070 and the distance covered 603,035 kilometres, for 31,965 kilos of merchandise and 6,300 passengers. There are schools for military pilots in Madrid, Cartagena and Sevilla. There are also adequate schools for mechanics and technicians, as well as an aerodynamic laboratory in Madrid.
After the Revolution nothing of all this will be suppressed, but a greater benefit for all will be obtained by a better coordination of all available resources. Development would go on towards obtaining greater velocity, comfort, and economy of material and labor, towards the ever increasing perfection of the transport service.
There will be the natural problems of bureaucratic organization and the opposition of small to large scale operation. We believe, however, that the rationalisation of the transport industry with the gradual elimination of small establishments is the more desirable. There is the danger of abuse, waste and neglect of the collective interest; but the large scale method is certainly the more efficient and we are confident that the watchfulness and interest of the workers themselves will safeguard the proper functioning of the organism. Particularly in the automobile industry, certainly a model of the Ford organization in Detroit should be substituted for the small automobile factories in Barcelona.
The national Council of the transport industry in Spain will comprise no less than 400,000 workers, mechanics and technicians, and its task will be highly constructive and beneficial to the entire economic structure.

I know that this blog is about faces (makeup) and fingers (nail polish), but due to my lowdown on my makeup brushes (Part 1 here and Part 2 will be up tomorrow!) I've been neglecting the fingers side of the blog a little. But now I'm evening the score with this darling of an NOTD: GOSH Holographic!
Anyway back to the story. Yes, GOSH Holographic. I've heard this touted as a dupe (possibly a better dupe, even) for Chanel Holographic, but I don't own the Chanel, so I can't verify. But this polish was holo awesomeness in a bottle, and even though the holo doesn't look like much on the bottle, on the nail, it is absolutely STUNNING. My friends always exclaim, "Look! Your nails!" whenever I wear this, so you know it's a keeper.
As you can tell, these were pre-cleanup pics, and they were 3 coats. I'm sorry for the ickiness of the pre-cleanup-ness, and for the frazzles on my cuticles. But frazzles and ickiness aside, isn't this a beauty? It's HOLO, BABY, HOLO! I even took two pictures just to show you how holo it can be, since the first picture sucked in showing the holo.
Application on this one isn't bad once you get the hang of it. I read a lot of blogs saying that they had to use 3 or 4 coats, and this was a nightmare to apply as the holographic glitter tended to clump together and become uneven when you apply subsequent coats....Well, that is true, if you don't wait for the polish to completely, and I DO mean completely, as in let's-wait-an-extra-3-mins-to-be-sure kind of completely, dry. Yes, it's a little of a hassle in that sense, because with most polishes you can get away with not waiting for the layers to dry, but with this one, you simply can't - if you put more polish on top of a wet layer, you will get the result of having your holographic glitter clump together, and you'll get too much holo in one spot, and no holo in other spots. And THEN you'll have to use 3 or 4 coats to cover up the uneveness. So, as long as you wait for each sheet to dry, you could probably just 2-3. Of course, I didn't know this, so I painted on top of wet polish, and had to use 3 coats.
Same goes for the basecoat. I've also read a lot of blogs going on about how you simply can't use a basecoat with it, and in this NOTD I've successfully used it with a basecoat - once again, the trick is to wait for the basecoat to completely, completey dry.
The polish in this bottle has a consistency that's more on the watery side, but not enough to irk me. All the GOSH polishes I've had were all of that slightly watery consistency, with the exception of GOSH Rainbow (which I should totally do an NOTD with sometime!) because of the suspended flakies in the polish. The good thing about GOSH polishes that I really like though, is that they dry SUPER fast. Sometimes I even wonder why I bother to use a topcoat with these things, because when I'm done doing my last nail, my first nail is already dry to the touch, albeit a very light and ginger touch. Of course these don't dry as fast as the OPI Suedes, but for non-suede polish, they're pretty much the fastest drying ones I've found so far.
Edited to add: The day after, IT CHIPPED! And I don't mean like tiny, at-the-corners-of-your-nails chipped. This is odd, because the other GOSH polishes I've tried weren't like that. But Pixie tells me it might be because it's a holo polish, and holo polishes in general tend to be chippy. I think she's right :) Thanks again, Pixie!
Awesome colour! I don't know if I'd use it but it's simply amazing.
Did your Holographic clump a bit in the bottle too?
@Paulina: Mine was fine in the bottle, I didn't notice any unusual texture. Although I've seen bottles of Holigraphic that appeared to be slightly clumpy in the bottle too. My suspicion is that it clumps a bit more over time.
This polish is super cool!

New Hampshire Scenic Drives: Kancamagus Scenic Byway
Highlights of Kancamagus Scenic Byway
Fall foliage is lush along the Kankamagus Scenic Byway.
The Kancamagus Scenic Byway is blessed with some of the most breathtaking scenery in New Hampshire. Located in the White Mountains National Park, the byway is flanked by the White Mountains. Because the byway is surrounded by a mixed forest of coniferous and deciduous hardwoods, it comes alive with color every fall. Locals and tourists all come to the area to see the rare mix of brilliant fall color against the majestic green of evergreen stands. The Kancamagus Scenic Byway is well known for providing some of the most beautiful vistas in the country.
Aside from the incredible scenery of the White Mountains National Forest, this itinerary highlights things to see and do for the entire family along the Kancamagus Scenic Byway.
Lost River Gorge and Boulder Caves: Beginning in the town of North Woodstock, the Lost River Gorge and Boulder Caves invites visitors to, indeed, find the Lost River, as it seems to play hide-and-seek, meandering in and out of the granite outcroppings of Kinsman Notch. Boardwalks give easy access into most areas, or slightly more strenuous trails are available to lead adventurers into caves, as well as along the gorge and into the Nature Garden at the end of the self-guided tour. An upper boardwalk is wheelchair accessible.
Clark's Trading Post: Clark's Trading Post at the western edge of the Kancamagus Scenic Byway near Lincoln isn't quite what the fur traders of frontier days would recognize, but it has got a history and tradition all its own and is certainly a must-see along the byway. Run by the Clark family as a roadside attraction since 1928, highlights of Clark's Trading Post include the trained black bear show, the Seiranian Family Circus, bumper boats, a climbing wall, several historical displays and museums, and the White Mountain Central Railroad.
Loon Mountain: Just east of Lincoln, Loon Mountain adventures await. Gondola rides to the summit give a bird's-eye view of the entire area and surrounding mountains. Once at the summit more adventures begin, including exploring glacial caves, hiking an interpreted nature trail, visiting with local artisans as they create their wares, and climbing a four-story observation tower to behold some of the most sublime scenery you will ever see.
Passaconaway Historic Site: The early days of the mountain lifestyle can be studied at the Russell-Colbath House just 12 miles west of Conway at the Passaconaway Historic Site. Built in the early 1800s, it is the area's only remaining 19th-century homestead. Furnished as it would have been in the early days, the home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The U.S. Forest Service also has an information center located here, and the Rail 'n' River Hike is an easy half-mile trail that begins at the historic home.
Rocky Gorge Scenic Area and Lovequist Loop Trail: Three miles east of the Passaconaway Historic Site is Rocky Gorge Scenic Area and Lovequist Loop Trail. The superb scenic quality of Rocky Gorge has been preserved ever since its designation as a National Scenic Area in 1937. An impressive waterfall, the narrow gorge, and an easy walking trail around Falls Pond make this the perfect place to relax and enjoy the natural serenity for a bit before continuing on.
Conway: The picturesque village of Conway is home of the Conway Historical Society, headquartered in the Eastman Lord House, the 1818 residence of a Conway mill owner and now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Seventeen rooms are open to the public with furnishings ranging from 1818 through 1945. Also, you can pick up a map of the walking tour of the historic sites of Conway here, or drop by the Conway Public Library at 15 Main Street, which is one of the interesting stops on the tour.
Majestic Theater: At 36 Main Street in Conway is the 400-seat Majestic Theater built in 1936. The Art Deco design along with the original velvet stage curtain give a sense of the Golden Age of Hollywood. This combines with current state of the art technology such as Schneider lenses and the only eight-channel Sony digital sound system in northern New England. Though the theater is quite historic in ambiance, current Hollywood hits grace the giant screen and provide a fitting evening's end to a day on the Kancamagus Scenic Byway.
This Kancamagus Scenic Byway cuts through the rugged heart of the White Mountains National Forest to open up to soothing waterfalls, wild flowered hills, fishing holes and hiking hot spots. Explore all that New Hampshire nature has to offer on this scenic byway.

Q: Is there a known closed form for these polynomials? The polynomials are like:
$P_0 = 1\\ P_1 = -2+4x\\P_2 = 8-32x+16x^2\\P_3=-48 + 288 x - 288 x^2 + 64 x^3$
?
I have checked Legendre, Chebyshev, Hermite... Any help will be appreciated!

This comes from:
$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} dy\; e^{iky} e^{-y^2/4} H_m(x+y/2)H_m(x-y/2)$
where, for polynomials, I did a replacement x=x^2+k^2.

The wiring diagram on the opposite hand is particularly beneficial to an outside electrician. Sometimes wiring diagram may also refer to the architectural wiring program. The simplest approach to read a home wiring diagram is to begin at the source, or the major power supply. Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are.
In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. M3 Logo. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.
The control box may have over three terminals. After you have the correct size box and have fed the cable to it, you're almost prepared to permit the wiring begin. Then there's also a fuse box that's for the body controls that is situated under the dash. M3 Logo. You will find that every circuit has to have a load and every load has to have a power side and a ground side. Make certain that the transformer nameplate power is enough to supply the load that you're connecting.

The Honolulu Star-Bulletin Insider Survey is a new way of looking at local politics.
We patterned a survey similar to the Insiders Poll conducted in the Washington-based National Journal. The Journal's survey uses members of Congress and political consultants.
Hawaii doesn't have a large number of professional political consultants, but many island lobbyists get involved in local campaigns. So we substituted lobbyists from labor, business and social organizations. We also asked veteran members of Hawaii's Legislature and neighborhood board members to help with our survey.
Respondents were told that we wouldn't attach their names to their opinions, but we would list the names of all who responded. See the Insiders list below.
The survey, which we hope to continue every month during the campaign season, is not a scientific poll, but it should give readers a new view on what makes up Hawaii's "conventional political wisdom."
Q: What were the best and worst bills of the 2006 Legislature?
BEST BILL
» "The bill that will provide for a smoke-free work place. We have much too long allowed for smoking to continue in places where people work, and they have no choice but to be exposed to second-hand smoke."
» "The best bill will allocate funding (Senate Bill 3059) for the development of grade-by-grade core content curriculum for Hawaii schools."
» "The best bills were the ones not introduced, which attempted to fix nothing and consequently left us better off than we would have been had the bills been introduced and wasted our time."
» "The best bill is a resolution, Senate Resolution 126 asking the governor and mayors to convene a joint task force to review the state and county tax revenues system."
» "The best bill is thoroughly buried and unlikely to surface, despite its clear benefit to the people of Hawaii: the comprehensive public funding of election campaigns, House Bill 1713."
WORST BILL
» "The worst bill is the racetrack tax credit tax break. It's a waste of taxpayers' money to subsidize a private venture. This money can be better spent on public education."
» "The worst bill is House Bill 1242 (since signed into law) that was sold as an effort to conform Hawaii's abortion statue to the current case. Instead, it goes further than the case law requires and tragically allows all abortions, however late term, to be performed in a doctor's office or clinics rather than hospitals."
» "The worst bill will provide small tax rebates to all taxpayers. (It should go toward) meaningful traffic solutions, better airports on all islands and improved harbors statewide."
» "The worst bill prohibits lobbyists from making contributions during the session. The premise is that lobbyists are the driving force behind contributions; it is legislators. An outright prohibition would be cleaner than a bill suggesting reform. In truth, public funding for elections is a far better way."
» "The worst bill suspends the gas cap, but then immediately replaces it with a more complicated formula that will be imposed on gasoline wholesalers. What a mess that's going to be."
LEGISLATORS: Rep. Brian Schatz (D, Tantalus-Makiki-McCully), and Rep. K. Mark Takai (D, Newtown-Waiau-Pearl City-Waimalu).

Produces 3 different types of fighter craft.
Type of craft depends on the race owning the base.
Each race can produce three different types of fighter craft. In most cases these designs include a light fighter, advanced fighter and a fighter-bomber design. The feds have 2 types of attack shuttles and a advanced heavy fighter. Fighters do not require any minerals to build. Fighters will defend the planet from attack but can not leave the planet on their own without the support of a air attack base. Fighters can not be loaded onto ships unless they are part of a fighter wing formed by an air attack base. New fighters can be transported from planet to planet by packing them in an assault pod.


-Eating sugar with your meal: If you are going to eat sugar, eat it with a meal instead of a stand-alone snack. Why? The longer your teeth are coated in sugar, the more you are feeding the harmful bacteria in the mouth, encouraging plaque. As you eat and drink with your meal can help to keep sugar from sticking to your pearly whites.
-Neutralize the acids on your teeth: Water, even seltzer water can neutralize the harmful acids that erode tooth enamel. This can help as you celebrate. Drinking water or mineral water can also help offset the acids on your teeth.
-Hold off on brushing: Say what? You heard right! Brushing right after eating acidic or sugary foods can actually harm your pearly whites as the enamel is softened by the acid wash. After 30 minutes your enamel will re-harden and you will be good to brush.
-Snack on cheese: If you are at a party, snack away on the cheeses to help your teeth. Not only is the protein good for you, but it also neutralizes the acid in the mouth.
-Sugar-free gum: If you can't brush after snacking, chew on some sugar-free gum to freshen breath and stimulate healthy saliva production which is good for your smile.
At Werschky & Lewis Family Dentistry in Grand Blanc, Michigan, Dr. Jay A. Werschky and Dr. Jori W. Lewis wish you and your loved ones a festive holiday. To schedule your next visit, please call us at (810) 671-5616. Give yourself the gift of a healthy smile this season!

BGFN MAGAZINE >> News >> Fashion collections >> Auroboros presented the first digital ready-to-wear collection
by Silvia Kabaivanova, 16 June, 2021
Auroboros is a London-based fashion house merging science and technology with physical haute couture and digital-only ready-to-wear. The brand has unveiled its first digital ready-to-wear collection during London Fashion Week in partnership with the Institute of Digital Fashion.
The collection was showcased as part of the British Fashion Council's DiscoveryLab initiative. Auroboros presented a nature-inspired 14-piece collection that was rendered on a physical model and styled by Auroboros' first digital stylist, Sita Abellan via video.
The the fashion label explained that the 'Biomimicry' collection combines nature with technology to "wear the future and create your sci-fi-fantasy".
Paula Sello, Auroboros creative director and co-founder, said in a statement: "Auroboros' digital, especially the 'Biomimicry' collection, truly reflects the scientific and technological advances of the 21st century, with cultural references that are both personal and universal in their meaning. We're not just using technology to showcase physical garments, but using that as a means to an end in and of itself, made for the metaverse and physical world for limitless new possibilities. Moving away from the cyclical repetition of the past trends, the Auroboros house is pioneering change in the fashion industry and what can be worn on the body. Presenting a sci-fi fantasy for everyone to immerse themselves in."
Leanne Elliott Young, chief executive and co-founder at the Institute of Digital Fashion, said: "For us we wanted to amplify the collection and start the discourse that's been the shadow surrounding digital fashion and fashion weeks, how does it actually get to the consumer and become an experience IRL? Effectively how can we pivot from 'to view' to 'to wear?' It feels like the energy of LFW that died through lockdown has landed again, IRL x URL is here. It's a first for LFW in so many ways."
Alissa Aulbekova, Auroboros creative director and co-founder, added: "By removing the 'borders' and 'guidelines' of fashion, we had such freedom to build the whole world of Auroboros that is also reflective of today's society and potentially presenting a solution to many of the fashion industries downfall in unsustainable production and lack of innovation. We are changing the narrative of the future now and making it hopeful and utopian with our liberating designs and concepts especially with 'Biomimicry' where we invite to explore nature through technology and reconnect with one's own creativity at zero cost of material waste."

A cataract is a clouding of the crystalline lens within the eye, rendering the eye unable to focus light properly. The severity can range from mild and inconsequential to severe and sight-threatening. Although cataracts are generally thought to be something that only affects older individuals, children, and even newborns can have them. Significant cataract can often be detected by the primary care physician as part of the general examination of the eyes.
Glaucoma is an abnormal elevation of intraocular pressure within the eye, causing damage to the optic nerve, and loss of vision. Like cataract, glaucoma can also occur in childhood or infancy. In fact, childhood cataract is often associated with the subsequent development of glaucoma. Detection of glaucoma is children can be challenging, and large-scale screening is not feasible due to the rarity of the condition. A cloudy cornea, persistent light sensitivity or tearing, and an apparent enlargement in the size of the eye are potential signs of glaucoma in young children, and should be promptly evaluated by a pediatric ophthalmologist.
Early diagnosis and treatment are critical to success, and this often involves surgery, glasses, and frequent follow-up care.

Bolivia Immigration Detention Data Profile (2020)
Immigration Detention through the Lens of International Human Rights: Lessons from South America
United Nations, "Los Migrantes Tienen Derecho a Regresar a su País Durante la Pandemia del Coronavirus," 15 April 2020, https://news.un.org/es/story/2020/04/1472872
Bolivia has been strongly affected by the Covid-19 crisis. By 31 July, Bolivia had more than 75,000 cases of Covid-19 and 2,894 deaths related to the disease. Faced with the pandemic, the government took several measures including declaring a state of emergency, closing borders, imposing fines and detaining people who do not respect quarantine or confinement measures. Bolivia has also imposed restrictions on citizens wishing to return from abroad. Bolivians in Chile, for instance, must spend 14 days in quarantine prior to returning. Some 1,300 Bolivian nationals--including pregnant women, elderly persons, and children--have been stranded in Chile and hundreds of them have been forced to sleep in freezing conditions with little food and water. For its part, by April the Chilean government had transported approximately 1,000 Bolivian nationals to Colchane, a town near the border, where they were accommodated in schools, with sanitary and basic services.

PLAYING RUGBY
Fitness: Conditioning Requirements and Components Defined
Strength can be defined as the ability to exert force in one maximum effort on a resistance in order to overcome that resistance.
Ideally in Rugby, we want to be strong enough so that we can always present more force to a resistance during the course of a game than it can present to us. But maximum strength, by virtue of its short duration anaerobic energy source (adenosine tri phosphate – A.T.P.) lasts only about 30 seconds maximum in a well-conditioned athlete.
Anaerobic Endurance can be defined as the ability to repeat bouts of muscular exertion. It is no good being extremely strong as a Rugby player without having the ability to repeat those bouts of maximum muscular effort many times throughout the duration of a game. How do we do this? By cultivating the other two other parts of the anaerobic energy system, the lactic acid system,and the lactic system.
Lactic Acid is a waste residue caused as glycogen (a type of sugar molecule) is broken down to form A.T.P. The whole process is called anaerobic glycosis. Lactic acid, though, has a drawback that no doubt every rugby player has experienced. It puts pressure on nerve endings and makes arms and legs feel like lead. This anaerobic system supplies energy for all out work bouts lasting between 1 and 3 minutes.
Following such an intense workout, we continue to breathe fast and heavy even though the demand has ceased. The oxygen taken in at this time above resting consumption, is used to replenish our A.T.P. levels. This is the alacticportion of the system, also referred to as oxygen debt.
– In 20 seconds 50% A.T.P. is replenished
– Within 3-4 minutes, A.T.P. is totally replenished
So what we need to do as Rugby players is to condition ourselves so that we can "push through" the fatigue associated with massive lactic acid buildup by building a tolerance to it. One method is to deliberately create lactic acid buildup with short duration, high intensity activity (like Jingle Jangles, a peripheral heart rate training) and decrease rest intervals.
But first an excellent aerobic level must be established. Any activity that elevates the heart rate to approximately 85% of its maximum level for a sustained period (30-40) minutes, builds the aerobic base. The energy source for aerobic activity is largely free fatty acid (fat) metabolized in the presence of oxygen. More importantly, your recovery rate from intense activity of short duration (anaerobic), is entirely dependent on your aerobic condition. Aerobic conditioning should be done in off-season (long runs, ideally 4-5 miles). As the pre-season approaches, training should then replicate the demands of the game (anaerobic via things as the Jingle Jangle routine). Mami Poker
Power simply defined, is the speed at which a weight can be moved over a distance. We hear descriptions of "speed/strength", "explosive power", and "jumping ability". All of this boils down to power.
Once muscle fibers have been strengthened, we need to find ways to recruit those fibers fast, and transform that strength into a ballistic type of release. Two ways of doing this are:
Olympic Lifts
By definition of their explosive nature (power clean, snatch) these are the only multi-joint lifts capable of cultivating a neuromuscular response of the IIB fast twitch fibers.
Probably the single most effective method of increasing explosive power. Sample polymeric workouts are not included here because of their very rigorous nature and potential for injury in the unprepared athlete. Plyometric workouts must be monitored by a person with a good bio-mechanical and practical knowledge of this training technique.
Speed is dictated by two components: stride length and stride frequency. Speed can be increased in most cases, irrespective of genetic factors. Poker Online

Why would you Opt for Australian Wool Quilt? One of the basic things that you need in the winter season is the made of woll blanket. It is considered a necessary item that one needs to hold to beat the cold. Not simply it helps in keeping you warm but is also incredibly comfortable. But if you want your blankets to last for very long then you must take extreme care. These are considered flame tolerant. Wool is well known to serve a dual purpose. It means it helps in keeping you cool in the hot season and warm when the weather is going to be cold. Another amazing top quality associated with the wool blankets is the fact that these are odour tolerant. Wool is considered extremely helpful in regulating the body temperature. It will help in keeping you dried by absorbing all the excessive moisture from the body. Made of woll is sustainable, animal-friendly, earth-friendly and biodegradable. It is viewed as animal-friendly because wool shearing does not involve any dog killing.

Italian singer and songwriter Gianluca Firmo was the driving force behind the project ROOM EXPERIENCE (2015), which featured Pink Cream 69 singer David Readman on vocals. Firmo wrote the entire album, which was well received from the press and the fans. Three years later Gianluca Firmo is ready to deliver his first solo album by using his own name and handling for the very first time all lead vocals on his own.

Update: BT Global Services boss leaves after just 15 months
BT Global Services is once again recruiting a new leader following the shock resignation of Hanif Lalani, who has been director of Global Services for just 15 months.
CIO UK Staff January 8, 2010
CIO UK
BT's loss making Global Services arm has acquired its third boss in three years, with the resignation of Hanif Lalani, after just 15 months at the helm.
Lalani, who had been with BT for 26 years, is leaving to pursue "personal business interests" according to Ian Livingstone, company chief executive of BT.
His replacement, Jeff Kelly a former senior manager at EDS in the US, will begin working alongside Lalani immediately.
BT Global Services, the IT services division of the telecoms giant, has struggled with a number of under performing contracts and causing its parent company to take a £1.6 billion write–down which contributed to a £2.1billion loss in £8.8 billion sales last year.
Problems with the unit's £1.57 billion contract with the NHS and its £1.7 billion deal with Thomson Reuters are still to be fully resolved.
In addition, in February 2009, BT lost a multi-million pound outsourcing deal with Essex County Council, three and a half years before its scheduled completion. The telecom giant is threatening legal action, while IBM has triumphantly announced it a multi-billion pound deal with the county.
Over 15,000 jobs were cut, last year, from Global Services as part of a bid to cut annual costs by £1 billion.
Veteran analyst Richard Holway said on his TechMarketView blog, "We understand that Kelly's appointment is very much to do with beefing up BT GS's large programme management expertise - something they have really needed.
Holway also highlighted Kelly's top level customer relationship expertise, something "that EDS was so good at". However, Holway warned "if Kelly's appointment signalled a return to the previous flawed ambitions of BT GS becoming a global competitor to the likes of IBM Global Services or the new HP services operations."

I recruited for Bryan's Norfolk branch during my time with Odyssey Healthcare.
I began my career as a 'grass-roots' recruiter. Early in my career, we never utilized job boards like Monster and Career Builder. I became proficient at cold calling and using referrals to identify talent. This remains the method I utilize the most in my recruiting efforts.

Q: Linq Expression for Any and Contains I have to change linq query below to a dynamic expression in linq but I have a problem with Any and Contains methods.
List<string> set1 = new List<string> {"100", "400"};
List<MyObj> set2 = new List<MyObj>();
set2.Add(new MyObj() {name="a", code="100"});
set2.Add(new MyObj() {name="b", code="200"});
set2.Add(new MyObj() {name="c", code="300"});
set2.Add(new MyObj() {name="d", code="400"});

Sample query
var test1in2 = set2.Where(t2 => set1.Any(t1 => t2.code.Contains(t1)));

//Return value
{name="a", code="100"} and {name="d", code="400"}

How do I change this query into dynamic expression?

A: Personally I never use the dynamic query syntax, but if  you must, the following should work:
var queryResult =
    from s2 in set2
    join s1 in set1 on s2.code equals s1
    select s2;

Just for completeness the above can also be rewritten in the following expression; without using the slower contains and any operators:
var expressionResult = set2
    .Join(set1, s2 => s2.code, s1 => s1, (s2, s1) => s2);

Who knows who'll start for Browns at QB?
Steve Doerschuk
steve.doerschuk@cantonrep.com
Brandon Weeden was sent home, Jason Campbell isn't out of the woods, and Alex Tanney is coming in from out of the cold.
That's where the Browns quarterback whirl was last seen headed as coaches began precarious plans for a game at New England.
Weeden suffered a concussion during Sunday's 32-28 loss to Jacksonville, in which he went the distance.
Weeden reported to team headquarters Monday morning but was "sent home," head coach Rob Chudzinski said, and has been enrolled in the NFL's concussion-protocol program.
Campbell, who spent last week in the program, has been "cleared for activity," Chudzinski said, but is not yet cleared for practice.
Campbell would be the likely starter at New England if cleared to practice Wednesday, but Chudzinski made that seem like anything but a done deal.
"All of our options are open," he said.
That includes getting Tanney ready to play, even though he was signed away from the Cowboys' practice squad only last Tuesday.
Tanney was undrafted out of Monmouth in 2012 and was never on an NFL regular roster in a regular season until last week.
Chudzinski indicated that bringing in a veteran this week is a possibility. Last week, Caleb Hanie was brought in for a tryout before the Browns opted to sign Tanney.
Hanie spent the preseason with the Ravens but was cut. He was with the Bears from 2008-11, making four starts in 2011. He was with the Broncos in 2012.
As a Raven in their preseason finale on Aug. 29, he passed for 272 yards at St. Louis.

You Know Somebody Unruly? Take 'em to Cell Block 7 in Jackson!
Even though this tour isn't intended for that, it's not a bad idea...kids who MAY be heading down the wrong path might just take a different direction once they get behind prison walls.
As Barney Fife puts it in the video above, "No more carefree hours...no more doin' whatever you want whenever you want...no more peanut butter and jelly sandwiches."
The old Southern Michigan prison in Jackson is still a functioning prison; prisoners are in plain sight as they walk thru the prison yard. Yet it has a public museum and is open to tour Cell Block 7 with displays that tell the history of Michigan's prison system.
This is definitely on my list of things to do; it's an intriguing look at incarceration over the last century. Take the tour and see for yourself! Their slogan: "As close to prison as you ever want to get."

Remember, as Barney says: "It is definitely no fun - when that iron door clangs shut."


This was quite an interesting week. Since I'm not working (other than the job-search efforts and preparing for the trip), I decided to go to the movie theater across the street from my apartment to see the latest Hobbit movie. (In the 2+ years that I've lived here, I had never stepped foot in the 20-plex.) I figured that between it being an "early bird" morning showtime (10:50 a.m.) of a movie that's been out for a while, not only would I save a few pennies, the theater should be practically empty. I wasn't wrong. I got there just as the previews were starting, which was great since I could scope out the ideal place to sit away from everyone else. There were only six other people so I sat in the center of the section in front of them. I experienced no triggers, other than an occasional crunch of popcorn or whisper behind me (which wasn't often), and didn't even have to wear my earplugs or let down my hair "blinders." It was the most enjoyable movie I've seen in a LONG time. Granted, it wasn't until after I saw that movie that I realized I've been missing out on taking advantage of the mini theater my apartment complex has at the Clubhouse. I could've been watching movies privately sitting in the plush theater seating with no triggers at all. Silly me. I'll definitely be taking advantage of those facilities when I come back from the trip.
I read something this morning saying that 20/20 is doing a report on hyperacusis tomorrow (Friday, Feb. 7th) at 10 p.m. (9 p.m. CST). Since they already did a report on misophonia a couple of years ago (which was the report that a stranger on a plane told me about when she introduced me to the term misophonia), and since hyperacusis is somewhat connected with misophonia, it wouldn't surprise me if they refer back to that earlier report. It will be interesting to hear what new information they show.

Women drive SADC integration agenda
SANF 17 no 35 – by Nyarai Kampilipili and Kizito Sikuka in Pretoria, South Africa
The event had nothing to do with the annual Women's Month that is celebrated here in South Africa every August to remember the sacrifices and contribution of women to the struggle for social equality.
Rather, the sight of Maite Nkoana-Mashabane and Dr. Stergomena Lawrence Tax addressing the media ahead of the 37th SADC Summit in South Africa was a clear affirmation that women continue to make a positive contribution towards deepening regional integration and sustainable development in southern Africa.
Nkoana-Mashabane is the incoming chairperson of the SADC Council of Ministers, while Dr. Tax is the Executive Secretary of the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
In fact, Dr Tax is the first women to assume the top post at the SADC Secretariat, and since her appointment at summit in August 2013 in Lilongwe, Malawi has exhibited that "performance is key and not gender" in holding key decision-making positions.
Based in Gaborone, Botswana, the SADC Secretariat is the principal executive institution of SADC, responsible for strategic planning, facilitation and coordination and management of all SADC programmes, activities and projects.
The SADC Council of Ministers oversees the functioning and development of SADC by ensuring that regional policies are properly implemented.
In this regard, both Nkoana-Mashabane, who is the South African International Relations and Cooperation Minister, and Dr Tax carry the responsibility of making sure the benefits of belonging to a shared community in southern Africa continue to be enjoyed and impact on the lives of SADC citizens.
During her one-year tenure as Council of Ministers chair, Nkoana-Mashabane is expected to provide guidance to the SADC Secretariat on the implementation of regional programmes while Dr Tax will be ensure that the decisions of the 37th SADC Summit are implemented over the next 12 months.
This will include making sure that the momentum built since 2014 in terms of the implementation of the industrialisation agenda is maintained as part of regional efforts to transform from a resource-based economy to a knowledge-based one that is able to add value to its own natural resources and compete strongly on global markets.
SADC has over the years made significant progress towards promoting gender equality and equity in the region.
In fact, gender equality is firmly rooted in the Declaration and Treaty that established the shared community of SADC, and member states fully realize that equality and empowerment of both women and men is crucial for the attainment of sustainable development.
This is clearly reflected in the constitutions of most SADC countries that provide for the creation of legal frameworks that prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender and other differences.
Some countries have also legislated affirmative action and quota systems that guarantee the participation and representation of women in political and other decision-making positions.
According to the SADC Gender and Development Monitor 2016, four member states are among the top 20 countries in the world with the highest number of women in Parliament and other key decision-making positions.
These are Seychelles, South Africa, Namibia and Mozambique, followed closely by Angola, the United Republic of Tanzania and Zimbabwe.
In the education sector, gender gaps in literacy levels continue to close, with Botswana, Lesotho, Seychelles and Swaziland having higher literacy rates for women compared to men.
The Revised SADC Protocol on Gender and Development, which was approved at the 36th SADC Summit held in the Kingdom of Swaziland in August 2016, aims to align the protocol with provisions of other instruments such as those relating to the Sustainable Development Goals, Agenda 2063, and the SADC Industrialisation Strategy and Roadmap.
The revised protocol provides for the empowerment of women, elimination of discrimination, and attainment of gender quality and equity through enactment of gender-responsive legislation and implementation of policies, programmes and projects.
The 37th SADC Heads of State and Government Summit is scheduled for 19-20 August, and will deliberate on a wide range of issues, including exploring ways of harnessing the potential of the private sector to contribute to the industrialisation agenda and sustainable economic development in the region.
The theme for the summit is "Partnering with the private sector in developing industry and regional value-chains".
At the summit, South African President Jacob Zuma will assume the rotating SADC chair from King Mswati III of Swaziland.
Prior to the SADC Summit, there will be a Double Troika meeting on 18 August to discuss the general political situation in the region. sardc.net

Clinical Genomics, a private company developing evidence-based diagnostic tools for colorectal cancer, today announced the launch of Colvera™, a blood-based test for colorectal cancer (CRC) recurrence monitoring. Colvera is the result of a decade of research, development and clinical validation in more than 4,000 patients. Colvera will be performed in Clinical Genomics' dedicated CLIA-registered laboratory in Bridgewater, NJ.
Quest Diagnostics, the world's leading provider of diagnostic information services, will provide specimen collection and logistics services for Colvera test orders. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Colvera is a qualitative test that indicates the presence or absence of two altered genes associated with CRC. Colvera measures methylation – a genetic change associated with cancer development – in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), the fragments of genetic material that leak from a tumor into the bloodstream. Unlike DNA mutations, which are frequent in cancer but may vary widely between patients and may undergo mutation shifts during the course of disease, methylation is a more stable feature in tumors that is readily measured. Colvera is not intended to stratify the risk of recurrence in colorectal cancer patients, but rather to identify the presence of disease at the time of testing.
In a study recently published in the peer-reviewed journal Cancer Medicine, clinical data showed that Colvera detected twice the number of recurrence cases as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) testing, the standard blood test used for CRC recurrence monitoring. As Colvera only requires a peripheral blood sample, the test can be administered along with other CRC surveillance tests, including CEA. Colvera does not require specialized equipment or modifications to clinical protocol.
Clinical Genomics is actively pursuing several research-based collaborations with leading academic and private cancer centers to continue to expand the clinical applications of Colvera.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, accounting for more than 600,000 deaths each year. When diagnosed early, before cancer has spread, the relative five-year survival rate for CRC is 90 percent, but only approximately four out of 10 CRC cases are detected early. Among individuals undergoing surgical treatment for CRC, recurrence occurs in 30 to 50 percent of all cases, the majority of which present in the first two to three years following initial diagnosis and treatment.

Do You Have a Buyer for Land That Isn't Listed?
Use these letters to reach out to the landowner.
We all know how frustrating it is to have a buyer and be unable to find that "just right" parcel of land.
We also know that some landowners are thinking of selling, but haven't quite made up their minds.
This set of 4 letters is designed to reach out to those owners and let them know that you have buyers who want to purchase land such as theirs, and you have been unable to find the right parcel. These buyers have have either expressed an interest in that specific parcel, or your knowledge of their wants tells you it might be the one for them.
These letters also stress the fact that your buyers have the ability to go forward with a purchase in the near future. They don't promise that the buyer will absolutely buy, but that he or she is interested and would like a closer look and more details.
Each letter invites the landowner to call and promises "no obligation" if they simply call to talk it over.
Need "I have a buyer" letters for a house instead? Click here.
Caution: If you don't have a buyer, don't use the "I have a buyer" letters.

As the mother of an 8-year-old boy with special needs, Dana Singla was well aware of the importance of having a financial plan that would ensure her son was properly cared for throughout his lifetime. But finding a financial advisor who was up to the task wasn't easy.
Singla was living in Arizona when her son was born and she first met with a financial advisor. The problem was that the advisor, although "great," she said, "had no clue how to advise us."
"When it came to … [special needs] … they didn't know what to tell us to do," Singla said. In one instance, she was even given misinformation: She was instructed to transfer money into her son's name, which could have prevented him from receiving certain financial benefits later on.
When her family moved to Illinois a few years later, she started working with a national life insurance company that marketed itself as specializing in families with special needs. But, it turned out, company representatives "were really insurance-product salesmen," Singla said. "They were always trying to sell something."
She added, "They were looking out for their own best interest, not what was needed for our family."
When people have unique financial needs, finding someone who truly understands their circumstances and can provide advice that is fitting to the specific situation can offer tremendous value. What Singla needed was an advisor who understood the financial idiosyncrasies of special needs families and would put the interests of her family first. After six years of searching, she finally found someone.
Two years ago Singla met Michael Walther, founder and president of Oak Wealth Advisors, during a conference for the National Association for Down Syndrome. The experience has been a game changer.
At their first meeting together, she said, "he had an agenda of things that he wanted us to have in place.
"It wasn't just the financial piece; it was the whole picture."
Singla added that because Walther, a certified financial planner, has a family member with special needs, he was able to apply a personal touch—which made a big difference.
Pro fisherman and TV personality Roland Martin had also tested out different financial advisors over the years. But it wasn't until he met certified financial planner Jared Reynolds 10 years ago that he found someone who really understood his needs.
"I met [Reynolds] on a fishing trip up at a boat dock at Truman Reservoir," said Martin, host of "Fishing with Roland Martin" on the NBCSN sports network. "I have had different advisors over the years, but when Jared came along … I was really impressed."
According to Martin, the biggest difference between Reynolds, who is co-founder of Wilkerson & Reynolds Wealth Management, and other advisors is that Reynolds' forte is working with fishing and sports enthusiasts. In addition to growing up with a father who was a professional bass fisherman, Reynolds attends industry trade shows that cater to various types of outdoorsmen.
"He's really hands on," Martin said. "It's good to have a financial advisor [who] knows the ropes."
Word of Reynolds' standing in the industry has gotten around. "Others have gravitated to him because he's done a good job and is known in the industry as a good advisor," Martin said.
Reynolds' client roster has grown to include numerous fishing hobbyists as well as hunters and other sports enthusiasts. He also has business relationships with fellow professional fishermen Jimmy Houston and Bill Dance.
When Amanda Craine started her search for a financial advisor, she wasn't looking for a specialist in a specific area. As it happened, finding one that focused on women turned out to be better than she could have imagined.
"I was interviewing a number of financial advisors, many from larger companies, but I wasn't finding anyone that I was connecting with," Craine said. Then a friend referred her to certified financial planner Stacy Francis, president and CEO of Francis Financial. Everything finally clicked.
Francis satisfied all of the criteria in a financial advisor that Craine had been looking for, but "the clincher for me was her focus on women," she said, adding, "That really impressed me.
"No one, up until that point … had talked to me about the special needs of women."
In Craine's opinion, "Stacy's special brand of relationship management and empathy toward women in particular is something you don't typically find in other firms."
A few years ago Craine and her husband decided to leave corporate jobs to start a business of their own. Francis was incredibly supportive of the process, Craine said. "I can't imagine a male advisor being willing to sit on the phone and talk to you about all the ups and downs in your life," she said.
The fact that Francis is also an entrepreneur has also been inspiring to Craine throughout her own journey. "I think that connection with her has been very important for me psychologically and emotionally," she said.
Also, because Francis specializes in the financial needs of divorced women, Craine said that when her close friend was getting divorced after 20 years of marriage, she referred her to Francis, and the two have been working together ever since.
