The purpose of our study was to identify the main reasons for dropout in young soccer players and to compare withdrawal motives to those rated important by participants in other team sports. Dropouts (150 males and 159 females, ranging in age from 14 to 18 years) were administered the Questionnaire of Reasons for Attrition by Gould, Feltz, Horn and Weiss (1982). Represented were youth who participated in the sport of soccer (n=127), basketball (n=122), and volleyball (n=60). The most important reasons for attrition from the different team sports were having other things to do, dislike of the coach, and lack of team spirit. Reasons related to the team work were also given high ratings. Less important reasons concerned old age, rewards and competition. Although discriminant analysis revealed some differences between sports, the finding remains that both conflict of interests and aspects of the sports environment are major motives for withdrawal from team sports.
Key Words: Dropout, team sport, soccer.
El objetivo del presente estudio fue identificar las razones para el abandono en jóvenes jugadores de fútbol y comparar los motivos de abandono con los descritos en practicantes de otros deportes colectivos. Los sujetos (150 varones y 159 mujeres, con edades comprendidas entre los 14 y los 18 años) respondieron la versión española del Questionnaire of Reasons for Attrition de Gould, Feltz, Horn y Weiss (1982). La muestra estaba constituida por practicantes de fútbol (n=127), baloncesto (n=122), y voleibol (n=60). Las razones consideradas como más importantes para el abandono fueron el tener otras cosas que hacer, las malas relaciones con el entrenador y la falta de espíritu de equipo. También alcanzaron puntuaciones elevadas los motivos relacionados con el trabajo de equipo. Las razones a las que se otorgaba menos importancia se relacionaban con edad excesiva, recompensas y competición. Aunque el análisis discriminante puso de manifiesto algunas diferencias entre deportes, tanto el conflicto de intereses como los aspectos relacionados con el ambiente deportivo eran siempre las razones más valoradas para el abandono de la práctica.
Palabras Clave: Abandono, deportes colectivos, fútbol.
Physical educators, parents, coaches and psychologists have long argued that children's involvement in physical activity and sport leads to beneficial outcomes such as discipline, self-confidence, competence in sport skills and interpersonal skills (Weiss y Duncan, 1992; Coakley, 1998). This is the reason why they have shown a strong interest in understanding the major motives young athletes have for participating in organized sports (Weiss y Ferrer Caja, 2002). To help in the accomplishment of this goal, Gill, Gross, y Huddleston (1983) developed a Participation Motivation Inventory that has bee widely used to rate the relative importance of various reasons for youth participation in sport. Results indicate the presence of a fairly consistent set of motivational factors that include competence-related motives, skill abilities, fun, affiliation or social reasons. The same motives do not emerge in all studies and it has been found that reasons for participation motivation may dependent upon factors such as age (Gould y Horn, 1984; Brodkin y Weiss, 1990), gender (Gill et al., 1983; Buonamano, Cei, y Mussino, 1995; Salguero, González-Boto, Tuero, y Márquez, 2003a), perceived ability (Ryckman and Hamel, 1993), type and level of sport (Klint y Weiss, 1986; White y Duda, 1994; Salselas, González-Boto, Tuero, y Márquez, 2007) or cultural environment (Buonamano et al. 1995; Wang y Wiese-Bjornstal, 1997; Kolt, Kirbi, Bar-Eli, Blummenstein, Chadka, Liu, y Kerr, 1999).
While many studies have provided valuable information about the relative importance of various participation motives, less research has been concerned with the identification of motives influencing dropout from a variety of youth sports (Patriksson, 1988; Lindner, Johns, y Butcher, 1991; Hoener, 2002; Butcher, Lindner, y Johns, 2002; Molinero, Salguero, Tuero, Alvarez, y Márquez, 2006; Salguero, González-Boto, Tuero, y Márquez, 2003b; Fraser-Thomas, Cote, y Deakin, 2008a). It has been estimated that over one third of all participants between ten and seventeen years of age withdraw from their sports every year (Gould y Horn, 1984) and this large percentage represents many millions of youngsters in Europe or North America. A children's decision to continue participating or to withdraw seems to be influenced by many motives, including conflict of interests, lack of success or improvement, dislike of the coach, fun and others (Tuffey, 1996). An adequate knowledge of reasons for dropout is necessary to enable youth sport leaders and coaches to design sport programs and athletic experiences for participants that fulfill the athletes´ needs and contribute positively to their personal development (Ferreira y Armstrong, 2002), and may also help to develop tools for predicting potential withdraw from youth sport (Nache, Bar-Eli, Perrin, y Laurencelle, 2005).
Soccer is one the most popular sports in Spain, as in most other European and South American countries. A large number of children are involved in the practice of soccer both in school and sport clubs and as the number of young participants increases there are also an increasing number of subjects discontinuing their involvement. The purpose of our study was to identify the main reasons for dropout in young soccer players and to compare reasons for withdrawal with those rated important by participants in other team sports.
The investigation surveyed 309 dropouts (150 males and 159 females) ranging in age from 14 to 18 years. The criterion for dropping is that the individual no longer is active in sport in a sports club (Molinero et al., 2006). Represented in the sample were youth who participated in the sport of soccer (N=127, 78 males and 49 females), basketball (N=122, 47 males and 75 females), and volleyball (N=60, 25 males and 35 females), competing at a local or regional level. The age when the former athletes discontinued participation ranged from 9 to 15 years (average 13.5 years). The subjects were drawn from different geographical areas within Castilla y León, Spain.
Subjects answered the Questionnaire of Reasons for Attrition of Gould, Feltz, Horn, y Weiss (1982). The original questionnaire included 32 reasons for attrition. The questionnaire was translated into Spanish using the parallel back-translation procedure by individuals that were familiar with participation and dropout studies in sport. The scale was then examined by coaches that were asked to suggest changes to the wording of the items and the directions for responding to them. The coaches expressed some difficulty interpreting three items that were deleted, resulting in the 29-item questionnaire (Salguero et al., 2003b; Molinero et al., 2006) used in the current study. Responses to each of the items were given on a 5-point Likert type scale ranging from 1 (not at all important) to 5 (extremely important). The construct-related validity of the questionnaire was estimated by means of a principal factor analysis of the data obtained from 66 subjects. This produced six factors based on eigenvalues greater than 1.0 criterion that accounted for 59% of the total variance The internal consistency assessed by means of Cronbach alpha ranged from 0.58 to 0.87 (Salguero, Tuero, y Márquez, 2003).
The authors contacted the directors of sport clubs, explained the nature of the study and asked permission to contact former athletes from club lists. From the original list of subjects contacted, a 78% of youth agreed to participate and were recruited for the study. Subjects were informed that participation was voluntary and informed consent was received. Parents of subjects younger than 18 were given a summary of the study and were asked to give their permission for their children's participation. Participants fill out the instrument themselves in the presence of authors of the study. They were asked to answer each item as honestly as possible. Anonymity was guaranteed and assurance that all data would be kept strictly confidential was given.
In addition to answering the Questionnaire of Reasons for Attrition, participants were asked to complete a questionnaire assessing demographic information such as gender, age, years in competitive sport, and sport played.
Means and standard deviation (SD) of individual items were calculated for the entire sample and for subjects participating in each of the team sports. Scores for all items were used as dependent variables in multivariate analyses of variance (Stevens, 1992). Significant multivariate effects were followed up with univariate analyses and stepwise discriminant analysis using Wilks' method.
Table 1 shows age of first involvement, age of dropout, and age when interviewed, for subjects participating in the different team sports. A significant multivariate effect was obtained for age of involvement (F2,306=20.03, p<0.001). Univariate analysis revealed a significant lower age for soccer players (p<0.001) and a significant higher age for volleyball players (p<0.001). Although there was also a main effect for age at dropout (F2,306=19.16, p<0.005), values were significantly different only for volleyball players vs basketball players (p<0.01). No significant effect was observed for age when answering the questionnaire (F2,306=2.18, p=0.058).

Means and standard deviations for the individual items of the questionnaire in the whole sample are summarized in Table 2. Reasons given a higher importance for dropout were "had other things to do" (mean rate 2.77), "did not like coach" (2.40), "not enough team spirit" (2.18), "no team work (2.00) and "did not get enough recognition" (1.91). The less important reasons were "did not like the awards" (1.40), "I was too old" (1.40), "did not met new friends" (1.52), "did not like to compete" (1.54), and "it was boring" (1.57).
In order to determine whether attrition motives could be differentiated by gender, age and type of sport, scores for all items were used as dependent variables in a 2 (subject gender) x 3 (type of sport) MANCOVA, with age at dropout as covariate (Tabachnick y Fidell, 2000; Stevens, 1992). The effect of the covariate itself was non-significant (F9,274=1.19, p=0.132), and no significant effect was obtained for gender (F29,274=1.01, p =0.441). Results revealed a significant multivariate effect for participation in the different team sports (F58,548=1.56, p< 0.007).
When all items entered the discriminant analysis (Wilks lambda=0.69, F58,556=1.99, p<0.001), standardized coefficients and univariate analysis indicated that six motives differentiated the groups (Table 3). "Had other things to do" or "Wanted to play another sport" were given the highest ratings by volleyball players. "It was boring" or "Did not get enough recognition" were rated higher by basketball players, and "Not interested on me" or "Parents or friends no longer wanted me to compete" by soccer players.

When identifying the most important reasons for attrition it is particularly noticeable that two main factors basically applied to participants in our study: conflict of interests and dislike of the coach. The former is the most frequently encountered reason in the literature (Gould et al. 1982; Klint y Weiss, 1986; Burton y Martens, 1989; Johns, Lindner, y Wolkof, 1990; Martin, 1997, Salguero et al., 2003b), including youth soccer players (Narciso, Otto, y Mielke, 1984). Basic work for a later professional career normally takes place in the same phase of life in which it is necessary to devote a lot of time to training and competition in many sports. This often coincides with the phase of school and/or higher education and could explain why the reason for dropout most often adduced is the time problem.
The relationship between athlete and coach is extremely important in competitive sport (Barber, Sukhi, y White, 1999). It has been found that no less than 75% of the female athletes and 57% of the males athletes estimate the coach's share in the athletic success as high or very high (Bussmann, 2004). The importance for dropout of an inadequate coach-athlete interaction has been previously shown in swimmers (Petlichkoff, 1992; Martin, 1997; Salguero et al., 2003b). Our data confirm that the coach may be not only responsible for a successful career in competitive team sport but may also be responsible for the termination of a career. Excessive control and negative feedback are aspect that can lead to increased dropout rates among child athletes, because children are unable to put the situation in perspective and begin feeling down about their performance (Fraser-Thomas, Cote, y Deakin, 2008b). A study on dropout in adolescent swimmers has shown that those who persisted in swimming perceived their coaches as more autonomy-supportive, while those who withdrew perceived their coaches as more controlling (Pelletier, Fortier, Vallerand, y Briere, 2001). For this reason coaches should focus their comments to the children on positive aspects of performance and not on mistakes or on the character of the young athlete (Barnet, Smoll, y Smith, 1992).
Team work and team spirit were also rated high by players in the different team sports tested. Importance given to the team atmosphere could be linked to personality characteristics that determine the choice of participation in individual or team sports. It is known that team-sport athletes tend to be more extroverted than individual-sport athletes (Morgan, 1972) and they are also more field-dependent, being socially aware and more affected by the social environment (Caño y Márquez, 1995). This further supports the relevant role played by the coach. Children should be part of a team that is comprised of other children of the same skill level, because if this is not the case, mismatching can occur and a child can feel left out or have a sense of being left behind. Moreover, the environment must be as carefree and enjoyable as possible and the athletic experience fun and rewarding.
Over organization is another situation that can lead to high dropout reasons and coaches must ensure that practices are not boring or that children do not become physically inactive. Lack of fun and boredom were not considered as most important reasons by participants in our study. However, boredom was a reason rated higher in soccer players when compared to subjects practicing other team sports. Boring practices can remove the fun component from the athletic experience (Tuffey, 1996; Gould, Medbery, y Tuffey, 2001; Wall y Côté, 2007). The coaches should concentrate on more active teaching and drills than just simply talking the children through it. Overworking the children and too much pressure to perform well can also increase dropout rates (Butcher et al., 2002). Coaches should avoid the two extremes of the spectrum in order to facilitate the learning process and to stimulate the enjoyment that young athletes can experience.
In summary, our data indicate that motives for sport dissociation in youth soccer programs are similar to other team sports and to those previously reported in different sport situations, confirming that not only dissatisfaction with elements within the sport itself, but also non sport influences are strong motives for discontinuing involvement. The role played by coaches can have an important effect on whether or not a child chooses to continue with sport or to withdraw, and an adequate structuring of the training environment is of the highest importance to foster continued participation.

Q: RMSE is low but the prediction result is inaccurate? I trained models with different models such as Feedforward neural network, Support vector machine, XGBoost. The RMSE for my train and test dataset looks great but the problems show up once I plot the actual values versus predicted values. Like for instance, the plot below is for the XGBoost model:

imagine the RMSE that I received from the model is 0.01 which means somehow overfitting while the plot does not seem to be overfitted.

Venezuelan opposition leaders Leopoldo López and Antonio Ledezma have been re-arrested in a move condemned internationally.
Leopoldo López and Antonio Ledezma were under house arrest after accusations of inciting violence during anti-government protests in 2014.
They have been taken to Ramo Verde military jail, family members say.
The court also said that it had revoked Antonio Ledezma's and Leopoldo López's house arrest because they had made political statements.
The UN's High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein, said he was "deeply concerned" that the pair had been taken back into custody.
The move comes just two days after a controversial vote for a constitutional assembly saw violence on the streets, with at least 10 people killed.
President Nicolás Maduro convened the assembly to rewrite Venezuela's constitution amid spiraling anti-government protests on May 1.
He argued that the move would create peace and foster dialogue by bringing together different sectors of Venezuela's polarized society.
However, the opposition accused the president of trying to rewrite the constitution in order to maximize his power and sideline the opposition-controlled legislature.
They boycotted the vote and called on Venezuelans to take to the streets in protest. The election was condemned by Latin American leaders, the EU and the US.
The day of the election was the deadliest so far since the current wave of protest began.
US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin announced on July 31 that the US had imposed sanctions on President Nicolas Maduro and called him a "dictator who disregards the will of the Venezuelan people".
Leopoldo López was taken from his home at 12:27 local time on August 1, his wife, Lilian Tintori, wrote on Twitter.
A video posted showed Leopoldo López being taken away by members of the Venezuelan intelligence service, Sebin.
Lilian Tintori wrote that she would hold President Nicolás Maduro responsible if something were to happen to her husband.
The daughter of Antonio Ledezma, Vanessa Ledezma, also posted a video of her father, wearing pyjamas, being taken away by the Sebin.
The EU criticized the detentions as a step in the wrong direction and Chile's foreign minister said they "sent an abysmal signal".
The US also condemned the arrests. Republican Senator Marco Rubio noted that VP Mike Pence has spoken to Leopoldo López on July 28, and characterized the arrests as a response to the sanctions placed on President Maduro.
Both Antonio Ledezma and Leopoldo López were key figures in the wave of protests which swept through Venezuela in 2014 in which 43 people from both sides of the political divide were killed.
Leopoldo López and Antonio Ledezma have played a less prominent role in the most recent protests because they have been under house arrest but their video messages still get reported and shared widely on opposition websites.

(03/03/2009) Carliner on Marketplace
Will China's stimulus lift world markets?
Reports say that China may announce a new stimulus package soon. What will it look like and how might it impact the U.S. and world markets? Ashley Milne-Tyte reports.
Kai Ryssdal: The housing market aside, Wall Street got a little bump today. And there are a couple of ways to account for that. One, the day after back-to-back 12-year lows -- what's not to love about stock prices, right? So, people were in a buying mood. Two, stimulus. Not ours, though. The Chinese. And the possibility of Beijing making a big add-on to the half-trillion-dollar stimulus package it announced back in November. That plan really hasn't done much so far. But the logic today -- such as it is -- goes something like this: That if you can just get Chinese demand going again, that'll somehow kick-start the rest of the global economy, too.
We asked Ashley Milne-Tyte to see if the idea can stand closer inspection.
ASHLEY MILNE-TYTE: Much of the money in the first package went to infrastructure and construction. Barry Naughton is a professor of the Chinese economy at the University of California, San Diego. He expects the latest stimulus will be aimed more at businesses and consumers. He says it won't have a direct effect on the U.S. economy.
BARRY NAUGHTON: I think what it really does is it makes it much less likely that the two countries will get into economic conflict. And it gives China time to bring down its surplus -- a trade surplus -- by stimulating the domestic economy.
That surplus was fueled by foreigners buying Chinese goods -- that's happening a lot less these days. Donald Straszheim heads Straszheim Global Advisors. He says if the Chinese start spending more, the U.S. could get a small boost.
DONALD STRASZHEIM: But it is a fantasy for us to think that their stimulus package is going to be a material lift to our, uh, economic future.
He says China just doesn't buy enough from us to make a big difference. Ben Carliner is director of research at the Economic Strategy Institute. He says if the Chinese build more, demand for raw materials should help commodity producers like Australia and Brazil. But not much.
BEN CARLINER: In the long run it really depends on the recovery of the global economy to really create the demand that's going to cause prices to rise again, in commodity markets, and so far the news has been unrelentingly bad.
Carliner says the world's economic problems are too large for China to make much of a dent.
In New York, I'm Ashley Milne-Tyte for Marketplace.

West Concord honors longtime owner of the 5&10 with a parade
Joy M. Hosford
Wicked Local
CONCORD — With the end of 2020 came the end of an era for the more than 70-year-old West Concord 5 & 10, a place that specialized in just about everything, maybe even at one time including the kitchen sink.
The business on Commonwealth Avenue had been owned and operated by John and Maynard Forbes, starting with John in 1950. His son Maynard waved his final goodbye during an honorary parade last Thursday for the store he took over in 1982.
A life-sized cardboard cutout of Maynard taken in the early 1980s stood in front of the shop on Thursday afternoon where patrons old and young took selfies with one of the most recognizable faces in West Concord. A line of people waiting to make their final purchases stretched down the sidewalk as the store's employees worked to adhere to COVID-19 capacity restrictions.
People left the shop with a little bit of everything — paper bags filled with craft supplies, toys, and candy, arms filled with brooms, rulers, and rakes, and heads topped with the 5 & 10 baseball caps. The hats were Forbes' own way of giving people a tangible way to keep the shop both in their minds and on their minds.
"I had been working on the thought (of closing) since the middle of 2019," Forbes said, surrounded by friends and family outside the store. "COVID was really not a determining factor, but it put the last nail in the coffin."
The 5 & 10 employed around 14 part- and full-time workers; some high school students, some local residents.
Store employee and Concord resident Theo Zuffante, 19, who started working at the shop in high school had been with the 5 & 10 for the last four years. He said the highlight of working at the small hometown business was the "family aspect" of how it was managed.
"It's also the unique items that we sell that no one else sells and the fact that everyone who comes here knows this is a place that can't be matched by any other place," said Zuffante, adding the standout item he himself has sold have been toilet seats. "I have only sold three in maybe the four years, two of them have been in the last two weeks."
Next door, Debra's Natural Gourmet will expand her shop in the now-former 5 & 10 in January, offering residents a familiar face in the special-to-so-many space.
More:Changing of the times: West Concord 5&10 closing; Deb's planning expansion
Forbes also weighed in on the shop's more uncommon items, reflecting on special inventory from the past.
"A unique thing? Oh gosh, there are so many unique things that come in and out of this business. Probably something in the toy and games, but the most sought-after thing in the past few months is something I got on the top of my head," Forbes said, a smile flashing across his eyes over his mask. "The West Concord 5 & 10 hat. I have sold 12 gross of these baseball caps."

"Every Second Feels Like Theft"
poetry and visual art collaboration
by Sarah Kain Gutowski and Meredith Starr
a conversation in poems and cyanotypes created while living through
the pandemic year and exploring its intimate effects
poems by Sarah Kain Gutowski
cyanotypes by Meredith Starr
For some, the pandemic and ensuing lockdown of public life didn't bring about drastic change so much as it did a particular cloying sameness. Restricted to the same rooms, the same screens, the same faces, and the same voices, we had to reinvent our daily practices so that we again feel something akin to wonder and surprise.
For others, the world shifted and stayed askew: the pandemic tore enormous fault lines through our roles, our identities, our friendships, and our loves. For nearly two years, we've rebuilt our sense of ourselves, as well as our relationships with those around us, on a foundation that still shudders with the aftershock of so many people gone, and so many irrevocably changed.
"Every Second Feels Like Theft," an extended conversation in cyanotypes and poems, explores the initial pandemic year and the months that followed, uncovering and scrutinizing its effects on the most intimate and vulnerable parts of our lives. Through alternating images and text, the artists examine how a global tragedy brought with it smaller domestic and interpersonal tragedies; how stasis and isolation forced us to confront new and old demons; how coping mechanisms saved or failed us; and how we emerged from our homes wiser and more resilient than before, cautiously optimistic, with new perspectives and new priorities for the years to come.
Poems and cyanotypes from "Every Second Feels Like Theft" have been:
published in The Gettysburg Review, Volume 32, Issue 3
exhibited as a broadside in the USPS Art Project: Mail Art Collaboration to Support the United States Postal Service in October 2020
published in Tahoma Literary Review, Issue 20
published online in Statorec, June 23, 2021
exhibited at the 10th Annual New York City Poetry Festival on Governors Island, NYC, on June 24 & 25 of 2021
published in Bear Review, Volume 8, Issue 1
as part of the RAISE digital exhibition through Stay Home Gallery in December 2021
as an exhibit at the Flagpole Gallery in St. Petersburg, FL in March 2022
as part of the Whose Story Is It? exhibition at the Spilt Milk Gallery in Edinburgh, Scotland
in CALYX, A Journal of Art and Literature by Women, Vol. 33, No. 1
as part of the group exhibition, "Failings," at the Ejecta Projects gallery in Carlisle, PA, Apr 2 - May 22
The poems and cyanotypes are assembled in manuscript form and the artists are currently seeking a publisher. If you are interested in following the progress of the collaboration and wish to receive updates about future exhibitions, individually published poems or cyanotypes, or future publication of the book, please complete and submit the form below.

Your Choice for April 2018 CCC Theme?
Bards and Artists: New musical instruments, artistic tools (placeables & items) for painters, sculptors, etc...Exotic or especially design weapons and gear for bards, like the rapier-pistol. An artist studio (painter or sculpter) tiles. Eccentric Clothes.
Monsters from Asian Mythology: I think what NWN is really lacking so far, despite all of the wonderful Oriental tileset, heads and placeable stuff, are creatures that fit an Oriental setting. We've got the CCP behir that could pass off as a Chinese dragon with some imagination, we've got an ogre magi with naginata and we've got the splendid kappa included in ProjectQ. And that's that. What about onis, tengus, otoroshis, hengeyokais and all kinds of other bakemonos? Real Chinese dragons and ghosts?
Murderously Cute: Everything cute and murderous - think giant teddy bear monster. Evil rocking horse. Floating smiley faces that bite when they attack. Ribbon and bow accessories. Button eye head VFXs. Childrens' toys placeables or holdables - think doll with or without ripped off head. Jerkily-animated life-sized barbie doll creatures. Cribs. Diaper placeables that trigger exploding traps. A giant walkable dollhouse. Doll clothes for PCs. If it's usually supposed to be cute, playful, and harmless, then it can be used to murder unsuspecting players too.


Should I diet as I begin training to compete?
If you try to integrate a diet program into an aggressive workout program, it may be too much at the start. I adopt the approach with all my athletes that it is important to get the conditioning program off the ground before they think about changing eating habits. It's not necessary in the early going to change the way you eat, because that is really not an important part of the training program when you are getting started. My experience is that people will tend to give up early in the quest to get in top shape if they are trying to do too many things at one time.
There is an avalanche of information available on diet and nutrition. For me to begin to layer requirements for diet onto the training programs would be repeating information readily available to you. Suffice it to say that a diet rich in antioxidants and natural foods will aid in your recovery and growth when you are executing the training program, and water is critical to maintaining hydration and chemical balance during training. Take advantage of this information and advice, and maintain a properly nourished and hydrated body at all times.
The simple guideline I will give you is to use common sense in your diet while you begin a new training program. Naturally occurring foods make the most sense for meeting your training and recovery needs. If a food is not naturally occurring (donuts, being a prime example), it will not help you, and you will want to be more thoughtful about your choices.

Amarantus Bioscience Holdings Inc., licenses technology from the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute
Amarantus Biosciences Holdings Inc., with bases in San Francisco, USA and Geneva, Switzerland have announced the exercise of an option to exclusively license worldwide rights to intellectual property covering the use of mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) – a protein capable of interfering with the course of apoptotic cell death. The protein has potential in the treatment of retinitis pigmentosa, AMD and glaucoma and is also in preclinical testing for Parkinson's disease and traumatic brain injury. The licensing deal follows on from an exclusive option struck last year between the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute and the company. Commenting on the transaction, Gerald E. Commissiong, President and CEO of Amarantus stated, "with interim toxicology data now in hand, and with multiple data sets forthcoming in the third and fourth quarter for the MANF ophthalmology program focused initially on Retinitis pigmentosa, we believe now is the ideal time to exercise our option and move forward under the auspices of a full license agreement".

A crew from Turner Construction work on the new gym at Woodward Elementary School. The current gym serves double duty as both a gym and a cafeteria and school officials said that after the expansion is completed the old gym will be fully converted to a cafeteria and the new gym will be the only gym.
A crew from Turner Construction install new doors at the connection between the expansion and the old section of the elementary school. The expansion extends from the school's north side into what used to be educational trailers and temperary classrooms.
The view of a hall inside the new expansion, facing south where students currently study. The hall with the 10 new classrooms is on the right and extends west.
The expansion at Woodward Elementary School is on schedule, school officials reported Thursday.
The expansion will add a new gymnasium, eight classrooms, a music room and an art-room as well as several smaller rooms for various purposes like speech classes according to Ryan Malany, the principal at Woodward.
Ground was broken on the project on June 8, 2016, and crews from Turner Construction began work over the summer and is projected to be completed before the start of the 2017-2018 school year.
Malany said the expansion will also reconfigure the bus loop to make picking up and dropping off students easier. Malany said a staff parking lot will also be added to further alleviate traffic.
The expansion was approved by the Delaware City Schools Board of Education in Spring 2016 to accommodate moving fifth-grade students from Willis Intermediate School to all the elementary schools in the district. However, Woodward and Smith Elementary School were too small to accommodate preschool through fifth-grade and the expansions at both schools were approved.
School officials said until the expansions at Smith and Woodward finish this summer, Woodward and Smith fifth-graders will be instructed at Willis.
Malany said the eight new classes will be for the all-day preschool students and fifth graders will be moved to the current pre-school rooms. Malany added that the current gym serves double duty as both a gym and a cafeteria and said that after the expansion is completed the old gym will be fully converted to a cafeteria.
Additionally, Malany said the expansion will remove the trailers and add a playground for preschool students.

Q: Ubuntu 14.04 Atheros AR922X [168c:0029] Wifi PCI memory region reserve error I've been struggling with this for a while. Can't make my PCI Wifi card work on a desktop with Ubuntu 14.04. I'm attaching the wireless-info.txt by the 'wireless-info' script. Please note the first line of the dmesg section, "ath9k 0000:05:00.0: PCI memory region reserve error". Seems like a problem with the driver? Googled this like crazy to no avail. Does anyone know how to fix this? I need to stay on 14.04 because I'm running software that depends on this exact version.

Before we purchased our current house I never in a million years thought I wanted a new-build home. And even now, I do spend rather too much time searching online for the 'character' house that will be our next purchase. It's not gonna happen any time soon unfortunately – but a girl can dream. But there's a lot to be said for a house that no one else has inhabited. You don't have to undo any decorating disasters for a start. You don't have to live with garish wallpaper, dated tiles or flowery carpets while you save the pennies in order to have them replaced.
What you do get is a layout that already suits 21st Century living. A utility room if you're lucky. More than likely an en-suite to the master bedroom (I can't tell you how much I love this feature), and the chances are you'll have a garage to hide all sorts of nasties from sight. Forget the car going in the garage, you'll have off-street parking anyway. It also means a energy-efficient house, lower heating bills, no drafts, windows that open and close easily (bliss if you've ever lived in an old house), and because everything is new all at once, a few months of feeling like you are on holiday.
And, (depending on your builder) you may have been able to choose bathroom tiles, flooring, appliances and even garden shrubs in advance. So ripping out bathrooms and kitchens can stay firmly in the past, with all the upheaval that that entails. All you have to do is put your own stamp on the place with some fairly easy-to-do decorating. But in reality I know that this can sometimes result in complete panic and indecision. Without any pressing need to change anything, you'll be amazed at how many people continue to live for years with magnolia walls and beige carpet because they simply don't know where to start.
Always a good idea. This is the perfect opportunity to devise a decorating scheme that flows from room to room without sudden changes of style or colours. There's nothing wrong with that of course, but consider this the time to really work out what your style is and stick to it. Create a moodboard that will include colours, textures and concepts for the whole house, not just one room. Use inspirational photographs, paint samples and fabric swatches to build up a picture of your true style. It's a good idea to leave decorating a new house until the plaster has settled and all the snagging has been done anyway, so you'll have time to perfect this over a few months. And it doesn't mean that every room will look the same. You can change colours from room to room but make sure they come from the same colour spectrum (in fact the manufacturers colour cards are perfect for this – there's a reason why the paint companies put certain colours together) and of course this can be flexible. Just make sure that before making any big decisions, you refer back to your original moodboard and ask yourself – would it look out of place if I added this now?
Is the easiest way to change the mood of a room, and it's fairly quick to do too. What's more if you do paint a room, and decide it isn't working for you, it's easy to change. Don't assume you have to paint a room all the same colour either. I'm not against a feature wall of colour but it really depends on the shape of the room, where the windows and doors are, which wall faces you as you walk into a room and what wall you are looking at when you are sitting down. At home I have fairly square rooms on the whole and I've decided to paint two adjacent walls a strong colour in a few rooms, and two adjacent walls white. In the bedroom, which is rectangular with lots of sloping ceilings, I've painted the bottom half of the wall black, and the top half white. Consider what will work for you and your rooms.
Are probably the first thing you will tackle when you move in, and covering them falls under the category of 'necessity' rather than 'adding personality' really. But I have to mention it here because nobody likes the neighbours peering in when sitting down to dinner. What you choose to put at the windows is a matter of personal taste, but if you're looking for a quick fix, I'd advise simple roller blinds. They are inexpensive and easy to fit and simple white voile roller blinds will solve the privacy issue and can be layered with curtains later on. But when looking for a long term solution, plantation shutters do tend to suit new style properties and windows. They also go with most styles of interior decor.
Can make the most impact without a doubt. And when you are faced with rooms that have very little going for them in the way of structural details, wallpaper can add much needed texture and interest as well as colour and pattern. At home, we've only added wallpaper to the kitchen so far (I did say, so far). I've already written about my reasons here, but I will add, that it also originated from my original moodboard for the house too. I'd decided that the house would be a mixture of black, white, grey, brown (wood mainly) with accents of green. The green has become more dominant that the original plan but I haven't strayed too far from it. Wallpaper doesn't have to just mean pattern either. I know lots of people have an aversion to strong pattern, or any pattern for that matter, but a strong trend at the moment is to have wallpaper that resembles wood, stone, brick, marble or even concrete. All of these will add character where there is none.
A new house often comes with acres of neutral carpet. Which is great when you move in, because you can just plonk your furniture down and not even think about it. Over time though, beige carpet can quickly become grubby, and even before that you'll probably be bored to the teeth with it. The answer is to cover at least some of it with rugs. Rugs are an essential decorating tool anyway. Like wallpaper, they can add colour, texture and/or pattern. And they help to delineate a space too.
Is your chance to add real personality and your own taste to a room. And there really is nothing worse than four blank walls. Before getting out the hammer though, spend some time deciding your style when displaying art. Do you favour random photograph galleries? Symmetrical grids of identical sized frames? Or one huge statement artwork. And consider the subject matter too. Galleries look best when the subject matter, or the frames, or the colours, have something in common. There are lots of sites online now that not only sell art, but suggest combinations of pictures, appropriate pairings, and even how to hang them.
The biggest mistake to make when moving into new house is to to think everything in it has to be new. I'm not suggesting that all of your old furniture from your previous house will fit or be appropriate style wise, but there will be some things that can be incorporated. A room that consists of only new furniture will at best look like the showhome you visited when you first purchased the house, or at worst, a furniture showroom. A home needs a sense of history too. Furniture and accessories that tell a story are what makes a house a home. If you have trouble visualising your old things in your new house, ask a friend for advice. Sometimes it just needs a new eye to see what will work.
Is often the downside of a new-build. In some the ceilings will be covered with down-lighters or there will be one bulb hanging from the centre of the ceiling. Hang the biggest, brashest fitting from that central pendant. Honestly, the bigger the better. And then add as many table lamps as you can so that you never have to light that pendant. It's just for show. At home we had a couple of random pendants – one needs to be changed still to a downlighter – the other we have fitted with a long flex and put a couple of hooks in the ceiling so that we can hang a pendant over the dining table.
Houseplants are not just a fickle trend. They did go out of favour for a few years but now they're back and I hope they're back to stay. Greenery adds another dimension to a room scheme and makes it come alive. And don't worry if you haven't got a natural green finger – I certainly haven't – faux plants look just as good as the real thing these days with the added bonus that they don't need as much light to always look good.
It's true a garden does take years to mature but there are a couple of things you can do straight away. Faced with metres of brown fence at home, I had no choice but to get out the paintbrush and get to work. In fact it was one of the first things I tackled. Painting the fence has made so much difference to the garden and it's the first thing visitors comment on. We've chosen grey but black would have been more dramatic and one day I might just re-paint it darker. The plants stand out more against these colours and it's so much more restful on the eye. Secondly, plant up a few pots and containers to at least make the patio a bit greener when you're sitting out. Before you know it these will have multiplied (not by magic I might add, you do need to actually do it) and your garden will start to look lush even.
Couldn't agree more with other comments! I had felt defeated by the fact my husband and I are going for a new build now instead of a character property (which was on the cards for so long!), but having read this and seen your stunning home, I am stupidly excited by the idea of being able go into it as a blank canvas and not worry about the leaky tap or stripping miles of woodchip wallpaper!
Great suggestions! I'm always thinking about adding character to my home, growing up in a French farmhouse with exposed stone walls and original timber beams galore… So this is very helpful to a budding interior geek 🙂 thank you!
This is such great advice, Carole. I think a blank canvas can either be seen as a great opportunity, or a little bit scary! People don't always know how to stamp their personality on a brand new space, so this is a great starting point.
I never saw myself as someone who could live in a new build but having recently done my bathroom and kitchen I would actually relish the idea of a home that was already done. Also, as you mention, not having to undo someone else's mistakes or poor taste. These tips are brilliant and I'm now sold on the idea of a new build.


Swings. Fans. Nirvana on the CD player. Weighted clothing or blankets. Blacked out rooms for hour after hour of sleep. Extreme tastes. Bubbling fish tanks. Joint compression and deep, tight hugs.
These are the things that make Baby Jude the happiest. The calmest. And the most at ease. Some of these things (we call 'em bells and whistles, which is totally ironic because Jude HATES bells and whistles that startle him) are not available at the ready.
So, we have to do a little prep work to take Jude places.
Second, find ANYTHING under the gosh darned sun that he will eat, that is not Hot & Spicy Cheeze It, to get some real nutrition into the boy.
Third, try that face wash thing again.
Fourth, discuss with husband if whatever place, event, party or parade we are going to is appropriate for Baby Jude or if it's too much. Or if we are just too tired to try today.
Fifth, get the Nirvana CD in the car, all of the weighted gear ready, pack the "chunky pureed" foods, put the compression socks, ankle foot orthotics (AFOs) and ortho shoes on, hat or hood on the stroller, and remember to bring the iPad and that Jane needs buckled in too.
Then go anyway. Too tired, too much or not. We will at least go. And at least try.
That's a snapshot of leaving the house with a toddler with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) – a snapshot of leaving the house with Baby Jude.
Baby Jude's diagnoses (and they keep on coming) should never be a real surprise to us – not even the initial cerebral palsy (CP), fetal alcohol effect, cortical visual impairment, hemiparesis, dysphagia, or developmental delays. We could see something was off.
Disorder after disorder has been diagnosed. However, no matter how we assumed or expected a new diagnosis to be, it can still knock a parent onto their heels a bit. Just for a minute.
It happens in small ways. Big ways too. When your boy is scored as "Definite Dysfunction" in ALL categories on the most recent Sensory Survey (and kind Miss Angela tried to help him out and score him gently), it knocks you onto your heels.
When the third neurologist on his team finally puts into writing what you, as his mother, have been trying to avoid – an ASD diagnosis to contrast, yet somehow complement, his SPD diagnosis – it knocks you onto your heels.
When his team and awesome vision therapist suggests we test his sense of smell with two different vinegars, and he is not at all offended by the aroma, and in fact tries to drink them, it knocks you onto your heels.
When during a well orchestrated (thank you Help Me Grow Tim, Cleveland Sight Center Brenda and Summit DD Donna) team meeting with Akron Public Schools, we all agree that our boy is a good bet on landing a slot at an incredible APS Special Ed (where the teacher has her master's in visual impairment) for a January start date, it knocks you onto your heels.
When you attend, participate and agree to go to the next support group for parents of children with visual impairments and multiple disabilities, it knocks you onto your heels. Just for a minute.
So, here is what I ask of you, the general public. When you see someone with a challenge in their life, or a challenged loved one, do them, me, my husband, Jane and Jude a favor, don't stare.
Don't wonder why an almost 3 year old is in a high chair at a restaurant eating pureed foods or bite-sized bits of bread. We know it looks odd.
If he melts down and beats his head into my collarbone, don't take too much notice. If he uses a bright, red, heavy blanket on his lap or a DynaDisc to sit decently, no need to pay attention.
Because, just for a minute, in some festival, restaurant, zoo or church, we are just a small family trying to take a minute. A minute to our perfectly imperfect, diagnosed (or diagnosable) selves.
And you can rest assured, we ALWAYS take all 5 steps of Baby Jude preparedness before leaving home. If big old ceiling fans could travel, we'd pack those too.
