Allergies affect more than 50 million Americans, and it turns out allergic rhinitis, or hay fever, symptoms are our bodies' way of being overprotective.
The immune system mistakes irritants such as airborne pollen, dust, mold or pet dander as viruses, bacteria or parasites that are trying to enter the body. Mucosal membranes of the nose, eyes, ears, sinuses and lungs try to defend our bodies, resulting in the classic allergy symptoms of itchy and watery eyes, head and nose congestion, runny nose, sneezing and difficulty breathing for those with asthma.
For most people, these symptoms can be reduced with over-the-counter medication. Others may have to visit a primary care provider or allergy specialist for more advanced treatment.
One way to naturally support your immune system during allergy season is to incorporate healthy foods into your diet.
Even though studies have not specifically targeted which probiotics and other "good bacteria" combat allergies, studies have shown probiotics may be a promising boost for allergy prevention and treatment. Studies have also shown probiotics and "good bacteria" help regulate and strengthen your immune system as "good bacteria" and flora in our bodies can affect our immune responses positively.
Turmeric is commonly thought to help with allergies because it contains curcumin. Research has shown curcumin can stop the production of some inflammatory molecules in mice. One study even suggests that humans might reduce allergic rhinitis symptoms with daily turmeric consumption.
An apple a day may actually help keep allergies away because apples are high in quercetin. Quercetin is found in other foods such as berries, capers, grapes, cabbage, cauliflower, onions (especially red onions), shallots, tea and tomatoes. Quercetin can help the body fight allergies because of its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antiviral properties.
Omega-3 fatty acids are found in two common fish: tuna and salmon. The omega-3 fatty acids in these fish may help protect against inflammatory conditions such as allergies. Omega-3 fatty acids can also be found in walnuts and flaxseed.
Almonds and cashews are both high in magnesium. Magnesium, one of the most abundant minerals in your body, helps reduce inflammation and stress, as well as regulate blood pressure, nerve transmission and insulin metabolism. Other foods high in magnesium include wheat bran, kelp, legumes, fruit, fish and meats.
The vitamin C in oranges can enhance the immune system. Vitamin C largely is used to prevent the common cold, but the intake of all types of nutrients also can be used to strengthen the immune system against allergies. Other foods high in vitamin C include broccoli, strawberries and red peppers.
The theory behind eating local honey for allergies is like the idea behind allergy drops and injections: Consuming local pollen allergens in honey will help build immune system tolerance to these pollens.
It seems reasonable in theory (and quite tasty), but the concentration of pollens in honey is much less than that needed to induce immune tolerance. The specific benefit of using local honey for allergies is a myth. However, various kinds of honey from different plant sources have been found to contain quercetin, which can boost health and disease resistance.
The theory behind all of these foods is that they may act as anti-inflammatory agents or antihistamines. However, there needs to be more allergy-targeted research to prove their effectiveness. Regardless, these healthy foods are nutritious if consumed moderately as part of a balanced diet.
So, if you're struggling with allergies, give these foods a try.

It is well recognised that change management delivers a significant return on investment, as the value of any new system or way of working depends on its uptake and utilisation. Effective change communication not only prepares people to work differently but is key to preserving productivity during a period of uncertainty, when a change to familiar ways of working affects a person's confidence in their ability to do their job.
To prepare people for change, a project team needs to understand: What they need to tell people to do differently, when to tell them, and how to tell them; checking every step of the way that the message is understood. This process of analysing, communicating, and asking is the premise of change communication.
To support employees through a period of change in the right way, a project needs to look at how they will experience the change. Change analysis looks at how individual roles will be affected rather than just looking at departmental or even enterprise-level effects. The more granular the analysis, the more individually tailored and applicable the communications and training can be, and the more you can support individuals through a change to ensure their continuing productivity.
Understanding the appropriate change management approach, according to the level of disruption, is key to managing change in a cost effective manner. A small degree of change may only require a targeted communication plan. However, a larger degree of change can require much more active change management. In many large programmes, a change champion network of representatives from each affected team is created to promote the benefits of the change to peers, create a positive and receptive change culture in each affected team, and to provide a feedback loop. Setting up and managing a change champion network can seem like a large task but the potential ROI is significant and, to a degree, measurable.
The feedback loop is key to making your change management responsive and agile. Through a change champion network you can find out how communications are landing, evaluate the training approach, and even just assess the mood of the organisation before deciding the speed of implementation the organisation can tolerate. This feedback loop allows you to adapt an approach according to the business's response.
City Change Management's extensive experience of running successful large scale change programmes means we can recognise the appropriate level of change management and tailor an appropriate change programme. The experience and skill of our people will ensure that the process is applied in a culturally appropriate manner that recognises the specific sensitivities of each organisation.

BLACK+DECKER™ announces a new range of powerful cordless Lithium Ion handheld vacuums. The collection includes the 20V MAX* & 16V MAX* Lithium Flex™ Vacs with Floor Heads and the 20V MAX* Lithium Pivot™ Vac.
This vacuum has been an amazing addition to our household. Firstly the kids LOVE to use it... strange I know, but they fight over who can vacuum up messes. They find anywhere possible to be able to clean and get dust bunnies just so they can use the Pivot Vac.
So easy to use, and just as easy to clean. No replacement filters which is awesome! Simply open it up and shake the dirt into the garbage. The main filter is washable and so easy to put back together.
My 12 year old has cleaned out both cars, the stairs, the couch, the dust bunnies along the the cracks and crevices. I love the help that this vacuum gives me!
We just set up the chargeable base in the hallway and the kids know right where to get the flex vac. We use this daily! I honestly don't know what we did without it.
Would be a great birthday present for the husband! Our last handheld had finally had enough and my husband was pretty sad about it.
This would be perfect for cleaning my stairs and cleaning out the car. I do not like doing the stairs with my huge vacuum.
Great. I could really use this for cleaning the baseboards and behind the chairs. Also, like you, I thought of the window ledges. Good to know it works.

Environment expert Bikrant Tiwary offers actionable solutions to improve AQI levels
The CEO of Grow-Trees.com explains how simple ideas can combat air pollution effectively
North India usually experiences alarming levels of deterioration in the AQI (Air Quality Index) during winter. Going by media reports, AQI pollution touched a hazardous 371 in Delhi and 300 in Mumbai, this week. Commenting on this crisis, Bikrant Tiwary, CEO of the social organisation, Grow-Trees.com says," Recent media reports have noted a 30% increase in the number of respiratory patients in India around the New Year and these numbers should concern us all. There are many factors contributing to poor air quality but increasing greenhouse emissions and rampant deforestation have added to the problem."
One of the simplest ways to counter this problem, says Bikrant, is to undertake massive tree-plantation initiatives and says, "We recklessly cut trees without realising that a tree can absorb around 22 kilograms of carbon dioxide per year. Grow-Trees.com has already planted over 10 million trees across 23 states in India and has undertaken various tree plantation projects to increase lung spaces in urban zones, to expand wildlife habitats and to provide livelihoods to rural communities' and these trees have the capacity to absorb nearly 350,501,280 Kg of Co2 on maturity."
He also shares that vegetation helps in filtering major atmospheric pollutants like sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide and adds, "Topographically appropriate trees in urban zones and rich biodiversity are not only good for urban water tables and soil quality but they also improve the surrounding air quality, regulate the temperature and sequester carbon."
Delhi in winter also suffers from the consequences of stubble burning in neighbouring states apart from ubiquitous vehicular pollution, and construction activities. To address these issues, Grow-Trees.com has started the 'Trees for Delhi', a plantation drive that aims to counter air pollutants by expanding green cover. Similar projects have been started in Mumbai, Jamshedpur and many other cities and says Bikrant, "Air pollution directly impacts health markers and is responsible for causing chronic illnesses among citizens including children and the elderly. We must collectively also make changes in the way we contribute to air pollution and need to start thinking about green buildings, and using wind, solar and geothermal energy. It is time also to shift to carpooling, electric vehicles and more extensive use of public transport."

Alexander Nevsky (K-550)
Nuclear-Powered Ballistic Missile Attack Submarine
Image copyright www.MilitaryFactory.com; No Reproduction Permitted.
Alexander Nevsky K-550, a new Russian Navy ballistic missile submarine, formed the second boat of the Borei-class when commissioned for service on December 23rd, 2013.
Authored By: Staff Writer | Last Edited: 12/31/2018 | Content ©www.MilitaryFactory.com
The Alexander Nevsky (K-550) is a relatively new ballistic missile submarine commissioned by the Russian Navy as part of a major rearmament and modernization program concerning all of the main Russian service branches. The vessel is nuclear-powered, giving it essentially unlimited range under water, while its armament fit gives it the capability to deliver nuclear payloads. Such power serves as both a deterrence and a defense against foreign meddling and military incursions against the Russian state.
The Nevsky began its construction on March 19th, 2004 by shipbuilder Sevmash of Severodvinsk, Russia. She was launched on December 6th, 2010, conducted her sea trials during 2011 and was formally commissioned on December 23rd, 2013 as the second boat of the advanced Borei-class of ballistic missile submarines. The class represents the Russian Navy's first such vessels to be commissioned since the end of the Cold War (1947-1991). Led by the Yury Dolgorukiy, the group was adopted as a successor to the "Delta III" and "Delta IV" series boats (detailed elsewhere on this site) as well as the massive "Typhoon" line of the Soviet era. A total of eight to ten boats are intended for the class.
The vessel displaces at 14,720 tons (short) when surfaced and 24,000 tons (short) when submerged. Its dimensions include a running length of 557.8 feet, a beam of 44.2 feet, and a draught of 32.9 feet. Her profile is very traditional with a rounded nosecone, forward-set sail, and finned aft section. Along her spine and aft of the sail are the Vertical Launch Systems (VLSs) for her primary nuclear payload while her bow contains conventional torpedo launchers. Propulsion is by way of an OK-650B nuclear reactor along with an AEU steam turbine driving a single shaft. Maximum speeds reach 28 knots making her a very fast submarine while attention has been paid to her construction in regards to helping her run quiet. The typical crew complement is 130 officers and enlisted.
In terms of armament, the primary war load of the Nevsky is 16 x 3M30 "Bulava" (NATO: SS-NX-32) Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missiles (SLBMs). These three-stage, solid-fuel/liquid-propellant systems stand some forty feet tall and feature a 6.6 foot diameter, capped by a warhead which can fit up to ten re-entry vehicles each featuring a nuclear yield of 150 kilotons. The submarine also carries a basic torpedo-launching function made up of 21" (533mm) six tubes and these also support the launching of RPK-2 "Viyuga" cruise missiles against land-/ship-based targets.
Despite setbacks in the Bulava missile program, the Nevky's commissioning was pushed forward. It is said that the vessel has already completed successful launching of the troublesome missile which is a good step forward for the class as it grows to strength. As of this writing (2015), the Alexander Nevsky maintains an active presence in the Russian Fleet.

Help your home renovation go smoothly and stay on budget with this wise advice from a pro.
I've learned a lot working as a contractor, and some of those lessons can help homeowners too. What you do is just as important as what you don't do, and sometimes a homeowner's instinct can negatively affect a home renovation project.
How do you know if you're helping or hurting your project? Read on to find out and to see what can help simplify your home remodel.
1. Don't delay decisions. If you want your remodel to go well, the best thing to do is make every single decision before work starts. A good builder can talk you through the list of situations that might come up on your job, but decisions about situations aren't usually what cause delays.
2. Don't change your mind (too much). Even though it's inevitable that you'll change your mind about something on your project, know this: Every time you change your mind, it'll result in a change order. Although the change may seem minor, there are always added costs — even if it's only the time spent discussing the change.
3. Don't buy your own materials. It seems like an obvious way to save money — a builder is going to mark up the cost of materials and pass that added cost on to you. That's true, but the builder may get a better price than you to begin with, meaning that even after markup, you'll pay the same price.
4. Don't put lipstick on a pig. Though a builder will rarely come right out and say this, some houses should be knocked down rather than have money put into them to fix them up. Though this is a rare situation, it's common for people to put money into fancy cabinets for a house with a sagging foundation, or into a high-efficiency furnace in a house with no insulation. Listen to the professionals who come to look at your job. Be open to their suggestions.
5. Don't work without a contingency fund. If you find out that the work you wanted to do costs more than you expected or budgeted, you're in good company. It's almost unheard of that a person sets a realistic budget for a project. But don't eat into your contingency to stretch the budget. If you follow rule number one and make every decision ahead of time, you can probably get away with a 5 percent contingency if you have a good general contractor.
6. Don't let kids and pets get in the way. Though the people working in your home will often try to accommodate your pets and kids, they shouldn't have to — it's just not safe to have children or animals around construction.
7. Don't live in the home. Most people ignore this rule, and for good reason. Remodeling is expensive, and moving out just adds to the cost. If you can't move out for the whole job, try to schedule some time away and set up a clean, comfortable place to retreat to when you can't handle coming home to a messy and stressful construction site.
8. Don't be a distraction. It may sound harsh, but every minute someone working on your house spends talking to you, they are not working on your house. Is the conversation important and one that will have an impact on the job? That's one thing, but the electrician on the job isn't getting paid any more to spend 30 minutes talking about your vacation plans.
9. Don't ignore what the house wants. Though some people can pull off wearing a pair of high-top sneakers with a tuxedo, it can also go horribly wrong. Houses are the same way. Can an ultramodern kitchen in a Victorian brownstone work? Absolutely, but make sure you can pull it off. This is not to say a house can't evolve with the times. There are no hard and fast rules — just get to know your house, live in it and do your research before you pull out the sledgehammer.
10. Don't work without a design. Some projects require an architect, some an interior designer, and sometimes a talented builder will get your aesthetic and help you come up with a good plan.
If you are thinking of remodeling your home then, hire the professional home construction services. EGN Builders Group is one of company who provides the Home Additions Los Angeles and conversion services.

Nuclear weapons scientists' histories probed
Hugh Gusterson
The personal and working lives of nuclear weapons scientists were discussed at the AAAS meeting by Hugh Gusterson, associate professor of anthropology in the Program in Science, Technology and Society.
Gusterson's talk, "Understanding Nuclear Weapons Scientists Through Oral Life Histories," summarized more than 100 tape-recorded interviews of scientists, focusing on their decisions to adopt nuclear weapons design as a career. He explored areas including their understanding of the ethics of weapons design as a vocation, the relationship between their work as weapons designers and their religious and political commitments, the joys and frustrations of their work and their feelings about antinuclear protestors.
Gusterson acknowledged it's possible to explore such issues through standardized written surveys. However, there are unique benefits to using life histories as an investigative tool, he said. These include "the opportunity for detailed dialogic investigation of key episodes, the revelation of a person's inner life through the use of metaphor and the production of vivid personal testimony," he said. "We should, however, beware of seeing either method as objective, since the constantly shifting world of the self and of memory is too complex and fragmented to be definitively objectified."

Q: How to test an Android app on Samsung Galaxy S3? One of the app I am working on works fine on Samsung Galaxy Ace and Samsung Galaxy Y but a user reported that app crashes on installation in Samsung Galaxy S3.
Now I am wondering how could a app working well one phone crashes on installation on another phone, what could be the reason for such a crash?
Also how could I replicate the behavior of Samsung Galaxy S3 even when I don't have one and I don't intent to buy one (given the cost of the phone)?

A:
Now I am wondering how could a app working well one phone crashes on
  installation on another phone, what could be the reason for such a
  crash?

Do you know what is the exception when it crashes?  There could be so many reasons.

*

*Different VM max size

*Different screen resolution

*Permissions - are you using specific hardware features/internet/external storage

It is impossible to tell without knowing the exception. If you cannot get the device, you can try to emulate as close to the device as possible. Android emulator allows you all these settings - screen resolution, max VM heap size, RAM size, external storage etc. So get the technical specs of that device and set up your emulator accordingly. Then try to reproduce the problem

A: As mentioned by AppMobiGurmeet in his comment, you can start by creating an Android emulator with the same characteristics as the Galaxy S3.
This can be enough to solve simple bugs, but there is really nothing like testing on the real device.
As it is impossible for you to test on this phone, I would advise you to implement some crash reporting system in your app, using ACRA for example (a really great library for debugging). This way yuo will see the stack of the crash (which is enough in most cases to understand what is going wrong)

Aural rangefinding
An LMU research team led by Benedikt Grothe has shown for the first time that, in humans, the neuronal circuits involved in sound localization are sensitive to the context of the stimulus and modify their processing routines accordingly.
Benedikt Grothe and his research group study the neuronal processing mechanisms that enable the mammalian auditory system to localize sounds in space. In their latest study, the researchers take a closer look at the impact of context on sound localization, and demonstrate that the human hearing system is capable of dynamically adjusting its response when stimuli are presented in sequences. The results question the conventional view that the system primarily serves to localize sound sources with very high precision based on physical differences between the same sound as perceived by the two ears. "Our study will lead to a paradigm change in the understanding of spatial hearing," Grothe states. The findings appear in the online journal Scientific Reports.
We perceive sounds because the pressure changes they set up in the inner ear are transduced into electrical signals by sensory nerve cells, which are transmitted and processed via several way stations to the auditory cortex. According to the generally accepted model, the processing system localizes sound sources in space by measuring the difference between the times of arrival of the sound at the ipsilateral ear (which is closer to the source) and the contralateral ear. The mammalian auditory system can perceive timing differences on the order of a few microseconds. This feat is made possible, in part, by a novel mechanism that involves precisely timed inhibition of neuronal firing during intermediate stages of processing, as a recent paper published in Nature Communications by a team led by Grothe and Michael Pecka has shown. However, the studies on which the timing-difference model is based involved the use of isolated single tones. When the stimulus consists of two sounds in succession, one observes 'curious adaptation processes', says Grothe. "In essence, we find it more difficult for us to accurately localize the second sound."
In collaboration with Christian Leibold, Professor of Computational Neuroscience at LMU's Biocenter, Grothe and his colleagues have now worked out why this is so. Leibold has developed a theoretical model that allows him to predict the neuronal processes triggered by a sequence of sounds. The model suggests that, when confronted with a series of tones, the system sacrifices precision in absolute localization to enhance the ability to assess the relative distances of successive sounds. "Our perception of auditory space is inherently dynamic. The processing system foregoes absolute localization accuracy in favor of sharpening the relative spatial resolution. This enhances our ability to distinguish a tone that emanates from a point further to the left from one that is closer to us," Grothe explains. This is what enables us to orient ourselves in situations in which several sound sources compete for our attention – in an open-plan office or at a party, for instance.
The new study confirms the predictions derived from Leibold's model. Experimental subjects were presented with tones over headphones. "They were able to locate the sources of single sounds with astonishing precision, but if the initial sound was followed by a second, they made localization errors of up to 40 degrees," Grothe says. However, the ability to gauge the relative distances between the two sound sources was significantly enhanced. The LMU researchers therefore assume that evolution has enhanced the ability of the mammalian auditory system to estimate the relative distances between different sound sources rather than the absolute location of each sound source. Hence the auditory processing system has evolved to serve as a dynamic aural 'rangefinder'. (Scientific Reports 2018)

red eye, wes craven
[REVIEW] Red Eye (2005)
Horror movies can be terribly clichéd. The genre has, in recent years, been overrun with either PG-13 hack-and-slash routines, or over the top ultra-violent films that bank more on shock value than on real substance. Unfortunately, the audience craving for such shlock often relegates films that try something new and different to the 'failure' pile, critically at least if not financially.
In Red Eye, moviegoers were treated to a new twist on an old idea. Lisa Reisert (Rachel McAdams) is being held against her will by an evil, arrogant adversary, the same old song and dance that can be found in many horror films. The twist? Lisa is just one of many passengers on a flight from Texas to Miami; no one else on the plane knows of the danger, or that Lisa is being threatened and psychologically tormented by the man who sits next to her, Jackson Rippner (Cillian Murphy).
The idea itself is revolutionary: a frightened captive held in public view. The setting is even more innovative: a late-night "red eye" flight is as inescapable as any makeshift prison and doubly terrifying in that the many other passengers have no idea that a potential killer is in their midst. But with innovation comes problems, namely sustaining a movie whose bulk takes place in a closed setting.
The story unfolds at a rapid pace. Lisa works for an elite hotel in Miami, which will soon be playing host to a high-ranking government official. Rippner needs her assistance to put the government official in a position where he and his family could be easily taken out; that is to say, Rippner is orchestrating an assassination plot in which Lisa must play a key role. As leverage, Rippner has a man waiting on his order to kill Lisa's father, the proof of which is produced by way of her father's pilfered wallet.
Cillian Murphy shines in his role as a suave, charismatic and well-spoken lunatic, a performance he would go on to repeat as Scarecrow in Batman Begins. The evolution of the character from the charming and kind man in the Dallas airport to the crazed killer hell-bent on finishing his job is slow and evenly paced; it is one of the more realistic portrayals of sociopathic behavior yet put on film. It is his performance that manages to hold the long flight sequence together as a pure edge-of-your-seat thrill ride, supported, of course, by Rachel McAdam's frightened and yet resourceful Lisa.
For her own part, McAdam's does a commendable job as the terrorized Lisa. Throughout the flight, the character makes several impulsive attempts to save herself, her father and the man who is in danger of assassination, each time being shot down by the increasingly creepy Rippner.
[Spoilers to Follow]
The character exposition during the flight puts into light an important part of Lisa's motivation. The resourcefulness she carries, it seems, comes from prior experience at being victimized. A scar on her chest is a constant reminder of an attack that had happened two years prior; while the dialogue doesn't go into to detail, it is inferred that Lisa was the victim of a rape. Murphy's Rippner sparks a rare moment of, if not sympathy, at least understanding, when he theorizes that Lisa had forced herself to believe the grim reality that the attack had not been her fault. Lisa responds tartly with what had been the driving force behind her many attempts at foiling his plot; she had promised herself "that it would never happen again", and drives her point home by stabbing Rippner in the throat with a pen secreted away from another passenger.
The greatest problem with this film is the ending, though the vaguely clichéd and anticlimactic end would not have been awful if not for one solid fact. Lisa had, throughout the film, shown her resourceful and the strength. Victimized once, she had vowed to never let it happen again, and manages to channel that energy and both foil the assassination plot and save her father from certain death.
Why, then, can she not save herself from the rampaging Rippner? Lisa had proven herself more than capable throughout the film, through her several attempts to notify other passengers of Rippner's intent, as well as getting word through about the assassination plot in the nick of time and stopping the impending murder of her father. And yet, even after firing a gun once at Rippner and hitting him, she still nearly succumbs to violence at his hands, only to be saved… by her father.
The ending of the film in its own right wasn't great, but the exhilarating moments that are heavily peppered throughout the film would be more than enough to raise this innovative film to the ranks of horror royalty if it hadn't fallen to terribly flat in the final moments. Why play up the female-empowerment idea if not to follow through? Instead, it strikes a blow on the side of Rippner and his early speeches about "male-based, fact-driven logic". While clearly not a treatise on feminist ideals, the film still would present one of the better examples of a strong heroine if not for the oddly uncharacteristic ending.
They may as well have had her running through the woods and tripping over her high heels.

This is one of those very classic Alps passes. It is long, it is hard and it is beautiful. It is a north-south crossing that has perhaps become a little less busy with the Mont Blanc tunnel in operation. It is not steep until after having passed by the tunnel under the pass that the heavy traffic use (since 1964). Thereafter it is of standard steepness (on either side) for most high Alps passes, which is around 7-8%. It has some of the widest serpentines (on the south side) of all Alps roads, only challenged by the north side of the Col de l'Iseran and the south side of the Pfitscher Joch/Passo di Vizze.
In the south the climb starts in Aosta/Aoste (591m) in Italy. In the north the climb starts in Sembrancher (713m) in Switzerland. One could start the climb even lower down in Martigny (499m) or Le Brocard (556m) if taking a short-cut down from Col de la Forclaz (1527m).
The pass is famous for the monks and their rescue dogs, as well as having been used by Napoleon and his army in 1800. There were recent news (2004) that those dogs would no longer be afforded to be kept here by the religious order, but as you can read here: Rescue dogs rescued. On the south side there is a little bar just before the last serpentines. On the north side there might be some place to stop above Orsières (887m), but I am not totally sure (the hotel in Sembrancher is closed down).
On the south side you can take off for lovely climbs up to Champillon (2078m) in 25 km from Aosta and Lac de Places-de-Moulin (Valpelline) (1990m) in 31.2 km from Aosta. On the north side, you can climb up the nice Val Ferret from Orsières and I continued over the Grand Col Ferret (2537m) to the Val Ferret in Italy with only 1 hour and 45 minutes between cycling and cycling again (with a quick walk and a dangerous steep descent on the Italian side). See also: Col de la Croix de Cœur (2174m), Col du Lein/Pas du Lin (1686m) and Col de Champex (1497m).


Having adorned elite cliental around the world for over three decades, Arushi Couture, one of the regions oldest and most renowned fashion houses, has welcomed new designer, Charles Lu who is set to launch an exclusive, Arushi Couture X Charles Lu, 'INARA', Spring Summer 17 collection.
Recognising in recent years there is now room for regional brands to compete within the international market, Istituto Marangoni trained Charles Lu has brought his international eye and dynamic garment construction to the femininity, grace and romanticism of Arushi. Producing an exclusive custom couture collection, including wedding gowns, evening dresses and jumpsuits to be retailed on a 'made to order' basis in specialised boutiques worldwide.
INARA, meaning to bring light into dark, is predominately inspired by Charles' initial experience of Dubai and the cities modern architecture; the use of clean lines, metal and the play of light on glass. Architect, Zaha Hadid was of particular influence, with her use of biomorphic shapes and opposing use of black and white. Charles combined this with notes of Japanese linear minimalism, Art Deco architecture and historical garment construction, resulting in a perfect marriage of of many elements. From this all embroideries and forms fell into place.
Charles plays with these extremes throughout the collection, using elements of light and dark, soft and light. Reinterpreting the past Arushi mantra by stripping away the use of floral and lace and instead focusing heavily on beautiful lines and graphic structures with fine hand finishings. Celebrating lines and layers throughout, the palette consists of a sophisticated spectrum – ranging from; dove whites, midnight black, warm ivories, to deep navy, fern greens, with flashes of grey lavender, pale gold, silvers, pastel blues and blush pinks in between.
Highlights of the sixteen-piece collection include; a black cocktail dress in duchess satin and tulles, with metal and pearl embroideries and sheer structured peplum with chest overlay, including velvet and embroidered belt. A blush pink asymmetrical silk crepe gown, heavily embroidered with metals, pearls, and woven ribbon in art deco motif, including high neck and single kimono sleeve detailing. Sleek jumpsuits in pale brocade, with off white duchess details, pale gold tube and pearl linear embroidery rising from the hem. As well as a navy satin jumpsuit with flowing pleats, contrasting black collar and waist details. A lavender floor length gown with short front and pleat detail, finished with heavily embroidered belt. Monochrome white and black, duo chromatic, multi layered silk gown with geometric hemline and black crystal Swarovski detail, double neckline and Watteau back. Off-white, ivory, pale gold ball gown with pannier details and silver, gold tube embroidery, leading to laser cut organza fading from brocade to layers. As well as a breathtaking rich white wedding gown with bust pleat detail and flourish back, in heavy silk organza with pearls, shimmering paillettes and white raffia embroidery.
The private presentation of Arushi Couture X Charles Lu took place at VIP Lounge, Fashion Avenue, Dubai Mall. With media attending a preview between 1-4pm October 17th 2016, followed by a private event for Arushi customers on the 17th and 18th of October between 7-10pm including guest of honour Mahira Abdel Aziz.


The Eyeliner Principle is simple. For decades, eyeliner on men has meant Evil in science fiction, adventure, and action movies and TV shows. (On women, eye makeup has little significance. I would say on women it means the character is awake, but we all know that Hollywomen sleep perfectly made up, and seeing them without eye makeup is about as common as seeing them in bras that don't match their underwear.) Pirates of the Caribbean broke new ground using eyeliner for the merely morally ambivalent.
Now, you could probably come up with several cultural explanations for this: eye makeup is associated with women, so men with eye makeup are coded as effeminate and therefore transgressive, flawed. Or perhaps it's playing on white audience's xenophobia – certainly some eyelinered villains, like Emperor Ming in Flash Gordon, play on tropes of the dangerous, exotic Other. Maybe it's a mish-mash of the two. Whatever the origins, it's a pretty good bet when you see a guy in eyeliner in a mainstream piece of media, you shouldn't trust him.
I bring this up because it isn't just a handy way of tagging baddies like the fiancé in Titanic. It allows the omniscient viewing public to differentiate good male characters from their evil twins, clones, doppelgangers, possessed or de-souled counterparts. This incurs no plot damage, since the other characters always seem to be ignorant of the Eyeliner Principle (they seem to be slow to catch on about leather pants, too). This holds true everywhere from Young Hercules (Yes, I've watched that. Hercules isn't the only one that was young once) to Star Trek. Which is really the reason I brought this up*. It's important that you all know that Captain Kirk with eyeliner is evil. Seriously, if you ever see William Shatner wearing eyeliner, run…and thank me later.
*More on Evil Kirk coming soon!
So very true. And unfortunate. Because who doesn't love Kirk in eyeliner? It's the same as goatee!Spock.

Achievement in Charter Schools and Regular Public Schools in the United States: Understanding the Differences
Authors: Caroline M. Hoxby
John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University
This study compares the reading and mathematics proficiency of charter school students to that of their fellow students in neighboring public schools. Ninety-nine percent of all elementary students in charter schools are included in the study. The charter schools are compared to the schools that their students would most likely otherwise attend: the nearest regular public school with a similar racial composition (the "matched" school). Compared to students in the matched regular public school, charter students are 5.2 percent more likely to be proficient in reading and 3.2 percent more likely to be proficient in math on their state's exams. Students in charter schools that have been in operation longer are more likely to have a proficiency advantage over their peers in the matched regular public school. In reading, the advantage is 2.5 percent for a charter school that has been operating 1 to 4 years, 5.2 percent for a school operating 5 to 8 years, and 10.1 percent for a school operating 9 to 11 years. Also, charter school students are more likely to have a proficiency advantage if their school has funding that is at least forty percent of that enjoyed by regular public schools. The results suggest that charter schools are especially likely to raise the achievement of students who are poor or Hispanic.

North Walsham Parish Church - North Walsham Guide is created in North Walsham for North Walsham.
The parish church is entered from the Market Place through a magnificent pinnacled porch, with rich carving and heraldic shields. The statues are modern, showing Saint Benedict, the patron of the Mother Abbey near Horning; Saint Nicholas, the present day patron of the church; and the Blessed Virgin Mary with the infant Christ in the centre niche, for it was under her dedication that this great church was built.
The once magnificent tower is now reduced to a ruinous mass, which stands sentinel over the town like some rocky crag; its strange shape drawing many people into the town centre to investigate it. It was built to draw people to God, and even in its ruined form, it still does.
From whichever direction you enter the town, the building that dominates more than anything else, is the ruined tower of the church. In the early eighteenth century the town boasted a glorious, soaring tower and spire, the tallest construction locally, being second in height only to Norwich Cathedral. It is known that the parapet reached a height of 147 feet, with a spire later added to compete with the then new church tower at Cromer. This spire may have taken its height to around 180 feet. A heavy ring of six bells was hung in the tower which also housed a chiming clock. These bells caused a dispute in 1616 between the townsfolk and the sexton whose duties caused him to ring the Great Bell ...orderly and full out one halfe hour at the least... every morning at four oclock!
Friday 15th May 1724 saw the towns Ascensiontide Fayre, and the bells were rung for many hours. The ringing of the bells combined with a rather windy day caused a vibration to occur in the tower. This was noticed by the verger when he ascended the tower in the evening to wind the clock. He was so alarmed by the distressed state of the tower that the clock remained unwound as he fled to warn people away.
Between nine and ten oclock the following morning, the doctor of the town was walking through the churchyard, and to his horror, one side of the steeple collapsed before him, his only injury being a cut to his ankle from a flying flint! In the years that followed, monies were raised to reconstruct the tower, but the weather was to weaken the ruin yet further, and in 1835 more falls indicated the weakness of the upper stonework. February 17th 1836 saw the last major fall when heavy wintry gales brought down the north side of the steeple with a crash that sent earthquake-like tremors through the town. The remaining east wall of the belfry stage was then dismantled as a safety precaution. In 1939 stabilisation work was carried out on the tower, in the hope that one day rebuilding might be possible. Plans have been drawn up to this end, and one version of a new tower (minus a spire), by the eminent architect Sir Charles Nicholson, can be seen inside the north porch of the Parish Church.

Mitsubishi Electric, Nokia Bell Labs, UC San Diego develop world's first ultra-fast GaN envelope-tracking power amplifier for next-generation wireless base stations

High-speed operation of envelope-tracking power amplifier will help reduce energy consumption of next-generation wireless base stations
TOKYO, May 19, 2017 - Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Nokia Bell Labs and the Center for Wireless Communications at UC San Diego announced today their joint development of the world's first ultra-fast gallium nitride (GaN) envelope-tracking power amplifier, which supports modulation bandwidth up to 80MHz and is expected to reduce energy consumption in next-generation wireless base stations. Technical details will be presented during the IEEE MTT International Microwave Symposium (IMS) 2017, which will be held in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA from June 4 to 9.
To help meet the demand for increasing wireless capacity, mobile technologies are shifting to next-generation systems that use complex modulated signals with large peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and extra-wide modulation bandwidth. This will require power amplifiers to operate most of the time at backed-off power levels that are well below their saturation levels. Generally, power amplifiers achieve high efficiency near their saturation power levels, but significantly degraded efficiency at backed off levels, as in the case of 4G LTE* signals (>6dB PAPR). Envelope-tracking power amplifiers have been studied extensively as a means to enhance power-amplifier efficiency, but so far the supply-modulator circuit has been the bottleneck limiting modulation bandwidth for advanced wireless communications, such as LTE-Advanced.
The newly developed ultra-fast GaN envelope-tracking power amplifier achieves state-of-art performance thanks in part to Mitsubishi Electric's high-frequency GaN transistor technology and design innovation for the GaN supply-modulator circuit. Using Nokia Bell Labs' real-time digital pre-distortion (DPD) system, the power amplifier has demonstrated efficient operation even with 80MHz modulated LTE signals, the world's widest modulation bandwidth for this purpose as of May 19, 2017.

The new GaN envelope-tracking power amplifier uses Mitsubishi Electric high frequency GaN in supply-modulation circuits, which enable high-speed operation. The result is highly efficient amplification of complex signals with modulation bandwidth up to 80MHz, which is four times wider than the signals reportedly used in other envelope-tracking power amplifiers. The technology achieves a world-class drain efficiency of 41.6% in such wide-bandwidth operation, thereby reducing base-station energy consumption while increasing wireless communication speed and capacity.
Further, the real-time DPD system enables pre-distortion for wideband signals to correct the output signal from the power amplifier, resulting in an adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR) of -45dBc for LTE 80MHz signals, which satisfies the wireless communication standards.
In view of its leading system-level performance, the new envelope-tracking power amplifier is believed to be a highly promising candidate for next-generation wireless base stations.

Costa Rica is readily accessible by most U.S. and European air carriers. Multiple non-stop flights originate each day from Houston, Dallas, Miami, Atlanta, New York City/Newark, Los Angeles, Chicago, Charlotte and more.
Choose SJO (San Jose's Juan Santamaria International Airport) in central Costa Rica for your arrival.
Our friendly driver greets you as soon as you clear Customs at SJO, easily identified holding a sign with your name. He loads your luggage into a comfortable, air-conditioned, modern shuttle. Our professional drivers are experienced, so relax and enjoy the scenic drive with no hassles. The approximate 3-hour drive goes quickly with the complimentary WiFi, snacks, and cold beverages aboard for you to enjoy. Just ask if you wish to stop along the way for a meal, restroom break, or sightseeing opportunity. They will even stop at a supermarket close to Casa Azur if you wish to shop and stock the kitchen with whatever you wish to enjoy during your stay.
After arriving in San Jose, choose between a Sansa Air (www.flysansa.com) or Nature Air (www.natureair.com) commuter flight to Quepos. Several flights depart each day from San Jose and average between $60-$85 each way. Total flight time is just 20 minutes. Once on the ground in Quepos, a driver will be arranged to bring you to Casa Azur. Or, we will arrange a rental vehicle to be waiting at the Quepos Airport. It is a simple 20-minute drive from there to the entrance of Paradise Breezes, where Casa Azur awaits.
A new toll road from San Jose to the coast makes driving easy. Depending if you make any stops along the way, it is about a 3.5 hour drive to reach Casa Azur from SJO. While still scenic, the toll road is less winding than the other route, with multiple lanes to safely pass other vehicles. Major rental car companies are at the international airport, and your Concierge can arrange a reservation in advance. Directions are easy, with good signage along the way to help get you to the Pacific Coast Highway in Quepos. Once you reach Quepos, follow the signage to the Quepos Airport, then you know you are about 20 minutes from seeing the entrance gates to "Paradise Breezes" where Casa Azur awaits.
If you want unbeatable scenery, Costa Rica is the place! The roads are not in the best shape, so plan for a 5-to-6 hour drive depending upon the weather and the time of day. Going over the mountain portion of this scenic route alone can take 2 hours before you can continue towards the better roads of the Pacific Coast Highway. You will drive over 10,000 feet upwards on a rocky and windy narrow road. Your reward, if you have the patience and courage, are great phot opportunities of some pretty amazing sights.
"Located in the 150-acre tropical development of Paradise Breezes, Casa Azur is easily accessible to all the major tourist destinations along Costa Rica's Southern Pacific Coast."
**NOTE: Our Concierge can arrange to have a 4x4 rental vehicle awaiting your arrival on property to use for the duration of your stay. This will allow you to easily access the many beaches, tours, restaurants and sights in the area any time you please.
Contact us for competitive rental rates to avoid the hassle of doing your own research and negotiation.

I know what you're probably thinking: the titles of my posts are usually a little less prosaic (or obvious) in nature. Why the change today? I guess I have been thinking about this particular topic for a while now and think it just needs to be said, plainly, with no room for misinterpretation.
The thing that got me thinking about such a statement goes back to a day I spent in a small rural village in South Africa. The people of the village had access to a public well, but there was not a pump on the well. It basically amounted to a concrete cistern. Residents of the village would come with containers of varying sizes to dip water out of the well, haul it to their homes, and use it to wash with, cook with, even drink. The well itself was loosely covered by a simple sheet of corrugated metal. The sheet of metal didn't do much to keep contaminents out of the water. Watching the residents collect this water without even batting an eye was quite sobering. And, in that moment it really hit home for me the desparate need some people have for access to clean water.
Think how different our lives would be if the water we used everyday was mildly to severely contaminated. It would drastically reduce our quality of life.
Take it even another step further. If there is no infrastructure in place within a community that will deliver water to individual homes, how would a community ever be able to attract businesses or manufacturing companies which would provide jobs? Places such as factories need water to accomplish their work, even if it only amounts to proper sanitation for its workers. Without stable employment, even having access to a well that provides CLEAN water will always only serve as a mere band-aid.
Now, to be sure, I promise, I am not trying to make the problem seem so enormous that we would question the value of even trying to make a difference. My purpose in drawing attention to these details is simply to raise awareness (I know, that's a favorite activity of mine – raising awareness…). And, not only that, but to remind us that we need a variety of different people coming at this big picture problem from a variety of different angles.
As you ponder the multitude of issues across the globe, I encourage you to "tip the rock over" to discover how many more layers there are to consider, not in order that you would feel discouraged or overwhelmed, but simply to add depth to your understanding of the matters of the day. This is the first step in bringing hope to the world.
Blessings to you this day, my friends.
I know in my last post I talked about spending some time flushing out the many and various thoughts pertaining to the complex world of South Africa. And, I will, but it will take a while, and in the meantime, there are other noteworthy things happening that I get excited about so for now I am going to put the South Africa conversation on hold.
Today I want to share about the Farm Show that was held in my community of Fairfield, Iowa this past weekend. And, more specifically, about the drone they had on display. Now, unfortunately I didn't get to see the thing fly, but I did get to see it up close and personal and let me tell you, that thing is COOL. It looks like a cross between a UFO, a roomba (robotic vacuum cleaner) and a blender. I don't know what all drones look like, but this one had six blades on it that propel it "helicopter-style" through the air. It follows a path charted for it using GPS. It can take off, take pictures of crops, and land, without a human even touching it. Crazy….
The price tag? Yeah, it's steep – upwards of $20,000 or more. The bulk of that hefty cost is on account of the sophisticated software which translate the images of the land. And those images provide copious amounts of information about the land and the crops on it.
The guy who was selling the drones gave this example: a farmer had purchased one, flew it over all the fields he farmed, and determined, from the reports of the drone, that when the anhydrous had been applied by a local seed store, one tube had been plugged and therefore short-changed the farmer 1/16 of his anhydrous. The savings for recouping that loss was triple what the farmer had paid for the drone.
It's exciting to see how technology is crossing paths with farming, increasing efficiencies, which in the long run, will prove better for the land because more informed decisions can be made.
If you have the chance, look up a picture of a drone online. It's literally the new "up" and coming thing in agriculture.

Leadership Programme Seeks to Harness Potential of Local Young People
A number of young people from across the Mid Ulster District Council area will benefit from an innovative youth development project funded by the U.S. Department of State.
The US:NI Leadership Initiative is a collaborative one-year project involving the U.S. Consulate, the Northern Ireland Assembly, and Politics Plus. Through a series of evening workshops, the initiative will seek to promote civic responsibility, build leadership skills, and encourage democratic engagement among young people from across Northern Ireland.
During 2017, the initiative will reach young people from across all of Northern Ireland's 11 council regions, and on the evening of Thursday 9 November 2017, the initiative will visit the Council Chamber in the Dungannon office through support from the Mid Ulster District Council.
Panelists will include Quintin Oliver, an internationally renowned political strategist who has worked in other parts of Europe, the Middle East and South America. Globally renowned personal development guru Billy Dixon will also be involved, as well as a number of young leaders from across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Some local politicians from the area will also participate.
U.S. Consul General in Northern Ireland, Daniel Lawton said: "We are delighted to help facilitate these important workshops and hope that they inspire and empower young people from every corner of Northern Ireland to work effectively for a better, shared future".
Deputy Chair of Mid Ulster District Council, Councillor Mark Glasgow, added: "If we are to make any changes in the future it is vital that we engage with the youth of today and consider their opinions, views and wishes for the years ahead. To have that captive audience present and in one room is a fantastic opportunity for both councillors and the youth as it allows honest and open communication and debate on important issues. If we are to succeed in our aim and ultimate goal of creating a shared future then it is a great place to start."
