Gophers add forward Robin Höglund (shoots L, 6'3", 205) and goaltender Nick Lehr to the 2014-15 roster (http://www.sbncollegehockey.com/big-ten/2014/6/4/5780768/gophers-hockey-robin-hoglund-nick-lehr-sign-acceptance-of-admission). With Ramsey going back to juniors, the Gophers are currently stacked IF everyone returns: 15 forwards, 8 D, 3 goalies (last season they carried 15F, 7D, 3G).
I don't take it as meaning anything. Just the current plan.
This isn't breaking news about Gopher hockey, but thought I'd brag a bit and say that tDon is coming to my wedding. Thought ya'll might appreciate that.
Congrats! Suddenly the getting married part's not all that important.
Regardless of all this, it is a business and everyone knows this. His returning could also have the effect that it is clear he is returning because he wants a shot at an NC and is willing to put off a big paycheck to do it, just like the other returnees. And if he is really well liked, as he appears to be, there might be an added incentive for the younger guys to win one for Rau and the others in addition to their own incentive.
Overall, I can't see a scenario where's Rau returning is a bad thing.
Agreed. If he comes back, it's for a reason. And if he doesn't, it's for a different reason. Either way, you know he'll be committed all the way to whatever choice he makes.
You can't be serious. Can he be serious?
Agreed. If he comes back, it's for a reason. And if he doesn't, it's for a different reason.
NHL draft starts this Friday (June 27-28). Gopher recruits who will wear the "M" next season and are eligible for the draft are Leon Bristedt, Jack Glover and Ryan Collins.
Leon Bristedt is an outstanding center with an excellent shot, good speed and given the situation has the ability to play with finesse or grit. Plays a two-way game and despite his small stature (5'9", 178) plays strong down low.
Leon Bristedt: The pint-sized puck wizard will be in North America next season after committing to attend the University of Minnesota. Bristedt is an excellent stickhandler with a high level of creativity and good hands. He is also an elusive skater. At the J20 level this year, Bristedt tore up his SuperElit competition for 60 points in 42 games. A severe lack of size (Bristedt stands just 5-foot-8) may limit his upside. He turned 19 in March. Bristedt was ranked 24th on Central Scouting's final list.
Jack Glover is a solid two-way defense prospect. His skating is good, especially in terms of straight line speed, and acceleration where he is well above average both forwards and backwards. His edge work, pivots, cuts and agility don't reach the same level though, as they can use some work to be more fluid. They are still above average. He is strong on his skates and has good balance helping him in board battles and to be strong on the puck in general.
Jack Glover has a very high hockey IQ. He is always making the smart play with the puck on his stick. It is easy to see that he has offensive potential, as he is a very good passer, able to make a good outlet pass, and uses great vision and creativity to really quarterback the play from the blueline on the powerplay. Glover has a good wrist shot and good release, and uses it to make sure he gets his shot on net and create rebound and tip-in opportunities for teammates. He doesn't have a huge slapshot though and that is the reason he doesn't seem to produce the huge goal totals.Glover has good size and plays the defensive game with a somewhat physical edge. He is willing to really battle hard in the corners and in front of his own net. He has very good gap control, and can change directions quickly to lay a big hit. However, he seems to make these big hits few and far between, preferring to stay and play strong positionally instead of looking to get out of position. Glover is extremely smart as he reads the play well anticipating passes and causing turnovers.
Another Swede commits to the Gophers: William Fällström (http://www.startribune.com/sports/blogs/263847051.html).
Tack Sverige! Nu skickar över Malin Åkerman skulle vara bra.
My head hurts after reading some of the comments on that article.
If you're not from MN, you'll have to prove you belong here to get the support of the old school folks. That doesn't take long for those that stick. All the talk before they get on campus (including a bunch by me) means nothing. For the record, I didn't leave any of those comments lol.
Heck, the two recruits I'm currently questioning most are MN kids.
I am disappointed in the latest round of recruits. I don't really get the whole Swede thing but, whatever. What bugs more is that the Gophers used to be the team every kid dreamed of playing for. Now, ever recruit is a rich kid from Shattuck or another private school. All the kids who used to be Gophers in the past are going to Nebraska-Omaha.
I gotta disagree here...I think Swedish women look BETTER without the "bra".
Bonin is not being himself if he's not questioning recruits.
I wasn't even referring to those comments, there are a few comments in there that are so clueless it's borderline comical.

INTERNATIONAL AUTOJUMBLE 2019 REVIEW
Posted by Matt Bell on 18th September 2019
The weekend of Saturday 7th September saw the International Autojumble 2019 event take place at Beaulieu Motor Museum. Over the two days, over 33,000 people attended the event, snapping up automotive memorabilia, spares and cars for sale by some 2100 stands and exhibitors.
Amongst the bustle was the new Golden Oldies display, an arrangement of over 50 historic classics from the 1920s-1960s, included in which was a 1954 Wolseley 4/44, returned to the road after 30 years in a barn by Swedish magazine, Nostalgia.
Elsewhere, Bonhams motor auctions had their latest selection of vehicles set for sale on display, highlights including a RHD 1970 Citroën DSuper, 1964 Renault 8 Gordini and 1991 Alfa Romeo SZ. The auction house displayed vehicles and memorabilia later sold on the weekend, but the prestige offerings of Bonhams accounted for only a small portion of the offerings at site that weekend.
Stalls offering thousands of retro and vintage car brochures for just £1 each proved too enticing for staffers Skelton and Miller, who were manning the Kelsey Media stand at the autojumble. The pair enjoyed the chance to meet numerous readers of Classic Car Buyer and its sister publications at Beaulieu, this being the first of many upcoming classic events at which CCB writers will be present. Magazines and prestige classics aside, the Motor Museum site was filled with everything from chrome hubcaps, to radiators and dealership signage to Volkswagen T2 front panels, as classic enthusiasts snapped up all manner of bargains.
A particularly honoured guest in attendance was Trevor Godson, an attendee of every single Autojumble since 1967, having cycled to most from his home on the Isle of Wight. In admiration of his dedication to the event, 83-year-old Trevor was presented with a copy of Edward, Lord Montagu's autobiography Wheels Within Wheels by Beaulieu's Managing Director, Russell Bowman.
Trevor said: "I just love the show…I used to cycle seven miles to Beaulieu, then walk another six miles around the autojumble, before cycling back to the ferry. One year, I bought a spare motorcycle tyre and carried it on my neck as I rode home, only to find I'd bought the wrong size!"
Companies promoting their work with classic cars and components also displayed their wares, including rechroming, classic bucket seats and Mini restorations, it's fair to say a lot of business occurred as a result, but not necessarily on site that weekend. The 2019 Autojumble proved a huge success, plans already underway for the 2020 International Autojumble. Dates will be announced on the Beaulieu website at www.beaulieu.co.uk/events.

St. Petersburg Exhibition Censored and Closed
By Aliide Naylor
The artists censored their drawings, but in an obvious and amusing way.
A Belgian and a German artist have had an exhibition of their graphic novel shuttered in St. Petersburg's Nabokov Museum. The artists, Dominique Goblet and Kai Pfeiffer, were displaying their work as part of an international comic, graphic novel and illustration festival called Boomfest, which has been held annually in St. Petersburg for nine years. Their illustrations depict a 50-year-old woman and her fantasies of several men who lurk naked in her "garden of paradise," crying and hoping for her to pick them like flowers.
When questions about nudity arose, the artists provided a range of humorous cover-ups. It wasn't enough: The exhibition, which had been scheduled to run until October 11, was dismantled on September 30. "Today, by request of the University of St. Petersburg, which the museum is subordinated to, the exhibition was closed and all our pictures were taken down," Pfeiffer wrote in a Facebook statement published the same day.
The St. Petersburg branch of the Goethe Institute, which backed the project, confirmed its closure. "We are very sorry that the exhibition of Kai Pfeiffer and Dominique Goblet was closed earlier than planned," PR coordinator at the Goethe Institute in St. Petersburg, Ekaterina Gottschalk, wrote to The Moscow Times in an e-mail.
Pink Panty Solution
Goblet and Pfeiffer explained by Skype that just before the exhibition was set to open, the museum director expressed reservations about the nudity in their drawings. The artists were bemused. "The Hermitage is full of naked people," Goblet said they responded.
When it became clear that the issue had become intractable, the pair decided to censor their works, but in a way that would be extremely conspicuous. First they decided to cover up the nudity on the green drawings with bright pink and orange panties. The museum objected and suggested traditional green grape leaves instead, said the artists. The pair experimented with black dots and "censor boxes," along with grape leaves and underwear.
The museum was not amused, said the artists. Two days later they called Dmitry Yakovlev, the Boomfest director, and asked him to come for the exhibition, which they'd taken down and packed up.
Yakovlev would not speculate as to why the show had been closed down. "It is a question for the Nabokov Museum," he said via VKontakte, the Russian version of Facebook. "When they were mounting the exhibition, they pointed out the problem, so the artists decided to put shorts on the characters. But in the end, it was not enough," he said.
Mutual Accusation Society
While the Nabokov Museum, which is under the direction of St. Petersburg State University, did not respond to a request for comment, in a statement published by St. Petersburg website sobaka.ru on Oct. 1, it accused Yakovlev of deceiving the curators — agreeing to bring one set of drawings and bringing another set instead.
Goblet and Pfeiffer dismissed this as "a lie." "We know Yakovlev sent all the images ahead of time." A promotional image used on the Goethe Institute's website for the exhibition additionally depicts the artists' graphic novel's cover illustration and contains nudity.
It is possible that the Nabokov Museum was simply being cautious, having been attacked twice in 2013. On Jan. 10, one of the house's windows was smashed and a bottle, reportedly containing biblical passages, was left at the scene. A few weeks later, on Jan. 29, the word "pedophile" was daubed on its walls.
Kai Pfeiffer
Small museums are unprotected and afraid of offending visitors' beliefs.
"Extremists are really looking at what the museum does," Pfeiffer said. The museum curators at the Nabokov Museum may have been more concerned about nudity because of the attention it garnered in the past.
However, the artists argued that pre-emptively bowing to the demands of extremists is essentially saying 'the extremists are right.' "She [the museum director] was very displeased by my insinuation," Pfeiffer said.
Reading Tea Leaves
The main driving force behind the wariness appears to be the threat from Orthodox Christian extremists who are "generally the most active," said Sasha Obukhova, curator of the Archive Collection at Moscow's Garage Museum of Contemporary Art. However, gallery size, location, and a general feeling of uncertainty as to where the next blow will strike all factor in. "The general situation is such that museums are afraid of social reactions," Obukhova said via Skype. "Especially in St. Petersburg where this [Vitaly] Milonov is deputy," she said. Milonov is a conservative deputy infamous for being the driving force behind Russia's "gay propaganda" bill.
"This is mostly just museums protecting themselves," she said. "We know lots of events in Moscow and St. Petersburg that are very risky … some people will come and complain that this or that exposition offended their feelings." A 2013 law, passed in the wake of Pussy Riot's anti-Putin "punk prayer" in the Christ the Savior Cathedral, prohibits the offending of people's "religious feelings."
"The Church is everywhere," said Anna Nistratova, director of Nizhny Novgorod's contemporary art and street art gallery, the Tolk Gallery, citing the banning of Marilyn Manson concerts in June 2014. She suggested that Orthodox groups "feel they have the power to influence society."
Obukhova cited further legislative ambiguities. "Another law … says that the propaganda of homosexuality among children [also enacted in 2013] is forbidden — but no one knows what that means. In this case, everything can be offensive, just everything," she said.
The artists also wondered whether their works were perceived as "propaganda of homosexuality." Goblet and Pfeiffer suggested that one of their pictures had contained some imagery that could have been construed as homosexual, given that there were naked men in the garden together. "They [the characters] weren't gay before, but now they might be," Pfeiffer joked.
Finally, the problem could simply be that small museums feel vulnerable. Garage's Obukhova said, "Small museums are very uncertain of their exhibitions in general. The Nabokov Museum is small, it is not protected by city government, and the exhibition they were showing didn't belong to them." Obukhova said that Garage's status as a privately funded museum helps it make "risky decisions."
Nizhny Novgorod's Nistratova agreed. "Smaller galleries are not protected," she said. "We have only a young woman sitting there … anything could happen."
In this regard, she didn't consider the incident in St. Petersburg to be anything remarkable. "It happens all the time," she shrugged.
But one exhibition she deemed extraordinary was held in Tolk Gallery last year, and contained "pacifist" works by Russian and Ukrainian artists. "We were sure we'd have problems," she said. "But nothing happened. It was quite a surprise."

EXHIBIT REVIEW A little bit of Paris, in all its glamour and decadence Toulouse-Lautrec exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts depicts turn-of-the-century Paris society
By Kathryn Dere Feb. 26, 2010
Café and Cabaret: Toulouse-Lautrec's Paris
November 21, 2009 – August 8, 2010
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec produced intimate perspectives into the decadent lifestyle of early 20th-century Paris. While we look back upon his work as modern and fashionable, his images had been considered provocative amongst his peers.
If you haven't made it over to the Museum of Fine Arts yet, you should go very soon; the exhibit on Toulouse-Lautrec's Paris is a short and sweet take on everyday life in the fashion capital of the late nineteenth-century. Besides, a trip like this takes less than two hours out of your day. I've clocked it.
Now perhaps "short and sweet" is not the best way to describe this exhibit. The exhibition as a whole is refreshingly concise, a plus for casual museum-goers. It contains a nice sampling of Toulouse-Lautrec's more famous works, as well as those of his contemporaries. (There is Theophile-Alexandre Steinlen's iconic poster Collection of the Chat Noir, and even Picasso has managed to claim space for a small painting, Stuffed Shirts (Les Pastrons), with a distinctly turn-of-the-century Parisian flavor.)
As for this Parisian flavor, I admit that my reference to fashion may incorrectly suggest that the artwork immediately embodies this characteristic. While fashion may come with glamour, the two are very distinct entities, and glamour does not automatically overlap fashion.
For example, it may not have been fashionable to be glamorous in Paris during the turn of the century, but that is the kind of glamour that might be fashionable today. In the airy, line-driven prints of the time we have posters to hang on kitchen walls as an offhand tribute to Art Nouveau and La Belle Epoque. "It's bohemian", we say, "and therefore glamorous." Steinlen's advertisement, Yvette Guilbert — At the Ambassadeurs Café Concert, presents us a tall, slim figure with long black gloves: glamorous, yes, but as a public performer, hardly the kind of woman who would be able to mingle in fashionable company respectably.
Only a few faint movements of Toulouse-Lautrec's pencil expose the mildly seedy activities of Paris's arts crowd, hidden beneath the glamorous façade. His famous posters — Aristide Bruant in his Cabaret, for one — cannot be ignored, but his sketches should not be forgotten. Sketches from the theater feature couples watching plays from their boxes and celebrities performing on the stage, but Toulouse-Lautrec passes swift judgment on these subjects, capturing them in a less than ideal light. Toulouse-Lautrec, not unlike Degas, liked depicting people from the most unconventional, and sometimes less than flattering, perspectives.
In short, the artwork of Toulouse-Lautrec is a sensibility in bold lines and a challenge to do better. It is Paris.

Examples of PhD theses
My teaching break between Christmas and the university's snowy reopening in January followed in the footsteps of Goldilocks and the three bears. I examined three PhDs: one was too big; one was too small; one was just right. Put another way, one was as close to a fail as I have ever examined; one passed but required rewriting to strengthen the argument; and the last reminded me why it is such a pleasure to be an academic.
Concurrently, I have been shepherding three of my PhD students through the final two months to submission. These concluding weeks are an emotional cocktail of exhaustion, frustration, fright and exhilaration. Supervisors correct errors we thought had been removed a year ago. The paragraph that seemed good enough in the first draft now seems to drag down a chapter. My postgraduates cannot understand why I am so picky. They want to submit and move on with the rest of their lives.
There is a reason why supervisors are pedantic. If we are not, the postgraduates will live with the consequences of "major corrections" for months. The other alternative, besides being awarded the consolation prize of an MPhil, is managing the regret of three wasted years if a doctorate fails. Every correction, each typographical error, all inaccuracies, ambiguities or erroneous references that we find and remove in these crucial final weeks may swing an examiner from major to minor corrections, or from a full re-examination to a rethink of one chapter.
Being a PhD supervisor is stressful. It is a privilege but it is frightening. We know – and individual postgraduates do not – that strange comments are offered in response to even the best theses. Yes, an examiner graded a magnificent doctorate from one of my postgraduates as "minor corrections" for one typographical error in footnote 104 in the fifth chapter of an otherwise cleanly drafted 100, 000 words. It was submitted ten years ago and I still remember it with regret.
Another examiner enjoyed a thesis on "cult" but wondered why there were no references to Madonna, grading it as requiring major corrections so that Madonna references could be inserted throughout the script.
Examiners have entered turf wars about the disciplinary parameters separating history and cultural studies. Often they look for their favourite theorists – generally Pierre Bourdieu or Gilles Deleuze these days – and are saddened to find citations to Michel Foucault and Félix Guattari.
Then there are the "let's talk about something important – let's talk about me" examiners. Their first task is to look for themselves in the bibliography, and they are not too interested in the research if there is no reference to their early sorties with Louis Althusser in Economy and Society from the 1970s.
I understand the angst, worry and stress of supervisors, but I have experienced the other side of the doctoral divide. Examining PhDs is both a pleasure and a curse. It is a joy to nurture, support and help the academy's next generation, but it is a dreadful moment when an examiner realises that a script is so below international standards of scholarship that there are three options: straight fail, award an MPhil or hope that the student shows enough spark in the viva voce so that it may be possible to skid through to major corrections and a full re-examination in 18 months.
When confronted by these choices, I am filled with sadness for students and supervisors, but this is matched by anger and even embarrassment. What were the supervisors thinking? Who or what convinced the student that this script was acceptable?
Therefore, to offer insights to postgraduates who may be in the final stages of submission, cursing their supervisors who want another draft and further references, here are my ten tips for failing a PhD. If you want failure, this is your road map to getting there.
1. Submit an incomplete, poorly formatted bibliography
Doctoral students need to be told that most examiners start marking from the back of the script. Just as cooks are judged by their ingredients and implements, we judge doctoral students by the calibre of their sources.
The moment examiners see incomplete references or find that key theorists in the topic are absent, they worry. This concern intensifies when in-text citations with no match in the bibliography are located.
If examiners find ten errors, then students are required to perform minor corrections. If there are 20 anomalies, the doctorate will need major corrections. Any referencing issues over that number and examiners question the students' academic abilities.

If you're anything like me then when it comes to your bug-out bag, you've made your list and checked it twice, right? You've got your collapsible water bottle, water purification tablets, some MREs, rain gear and possibly some ammunition with a Ruger 10/22 Takedown.
But let me give you something to consider. Are you planning on using that sweet Jeep that you've been stashing away? If so, then you want to make sure that baby is running in tip top shape. The last thing you want happening is for SHTF and your vehicle become immobile. Why you'd be in a real bind then right!?
Your ride is only as good as the tires underneath it! So if you have a flat or blowout, it's game over. This is why I like keeping a tire and tube flat repair kit with plugs in the Jeep. Autozone makes some good repair kits for a decent price.
If you run out of oil and blow up your engine, you won't make it too far. This is why I keep some high quality synthetic 10/30 Mobil motor oil in my ride. It wouldn't hurt to also keep a gallon of antifreeze on standby.
Now this isn't the most essential tool, but I keep one on hand just because they are useful for diagnosing and repairing that nasty Check Engine Light. An Android obd2 bluetooth scanner is a simple tool that plugs into your OBD2 port, and links up to your phone via Bluetooth. It then lets you read and erase DTC codes.
Last on my list would be extra ammunition. Up North where I live, there's plenty of game life that we can harvest for food that could mean the difference between a hungry winter, and a warm winter with full bellies. Ammunition, I believe, would be essential in a post-apocalyptic situation because it would be tradable. I like to keep a healthy stock of .45, 5.56 NATO, and .22 in my ammo can because these are some of the most popular rounds!
Alright I hope that helps some of you be fully prepared with your bugout tactical vehicle!
If you have any questions, we're always happy to help.

Catholic Punishments for Sins
By Leah Perry ; Updated September 29, 2017
••• Hemera Technologies/AbleStock.com/Getty Images
The Catholic view of punishment for sin is more of a reaction than an act of vengeance.
Catholics divide sins into two categories, venial and mortal, and each category has its own form of punishment. The more severe a sin, the heavier the punishment will be. Proper penance can clear away the eternal and some of the temporal punishment for a sin. However, some form of rectification must occur in order to restore the justice of God that was disrupted through the act of sinning. In essence, though, the Catholic view of punishment for sins is more a cause-and-effect reaction than a penalty for wrongdoing. It is a reactive conclusion rather than a vindictive punishment.
Venial Sins
Venial sins are sins that occur when the Word of God is transgressed. This means any time an observer sins inadvertently or without full knowledge, a venial sin has been committed. Examples of these transgressions include wasting time, distraction during service, acts of unkindness and other small deviations from the proper path. Venial sins can be forgiven easily without confession.
Mortal Sins
Mortal sins are more serious. These sins are done willfully and knowingly and pertain to the fundamental beliefs and principles of Catholicism, such as blasphemy, murder and adultery. If not repented, these sins will incur eternal punishments on a man's soul.
Levels of Punishment
Catholics believe that there are two levels of punishments for sins. The first level is temporal and is received in this world. These punishments can take the form of physical discomfort, emotional struggles, financial losses or other difficulties. The second level of punishment for sin is eternal. This form of punishment takes place after death, in Purgatory or Hell. The temporal punishments are carried out automatically, though penance can be done to lessen the effect. Certain rituals or sacraments can be performed to lessen or even clear away the heinous eternal punishment.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation
The Sacrament of Reconciliation is a sacrament -- religious rite or ceremony -- that can be used to forgive mortal sins. It is made up of four elements: remorse, confession, absolution and penance. The sinner must feel remorse for the sin he has committed, the physical damage he has done and the distance he has created between himself and his creator. After confessing to a priest, the sinner is absolved and some of the sin is removed. Finally, the spiritual impurity that still remains can be removed by acts of penance, such as fasting, prayer, giving charity and acts of kindness or mercy.

Two guards of the Congolese Institute for the Conservation of Nature lost their lives following attacks by armed groups in the Virunga National Park World Heritage site, a recent report has revealed. Topped with oil exploration, continued unrest could lead to irreversible damages and ultimately the removal of the site from the World Heritage List.
The Government of Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) reported a serious degradation of security since April 2012 to the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, which is responsible for monitoring the state of conservation of natural World Heritage sites. The findings were discussed last week at the 37th World Heritage Committee meeting, taking place in the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh.
The World Heritage Committee, which is the decision making body of the World Heritage Convention, approved the joint recommendation of IUCN and the World Heritage Centre to retain the iconic site on the Danger list.
Virunga National Park has been the battlefield between the Congolese Army (FARDC) and different rebel groups. Notably, the Movement of 23 March (M23) occupies the Mikeno sector, where an important population of mountain gorillas resides, while the FARDC are based in the Rwindi sector. This situation has made the work of the park authority extremely difficult.
After total loss of control of the Mikeno sector for seven months, surveillance staff were able to access the area in December 2012 to monitor the gorilla population and dismantle traps. They noted eight new births during that time, bringing a total of 100 resident gorillas.
Meanwhile, patrols diminished by 35% during 2012, concentrating efforts where the presence of armed groups and exploitation of fauna are particularly high. Nine firearms and 225 canoes were seized, and over 1,000 traps and 500 poachers' camps were dismantled.
The World Heritage Centre and IUCN now fear that progress made since 2011 will be completely lost if security is not reestablished. The Virunga National Park was one of UNESCO's first natural World Heritage sites when it was inscribed in 1979. But since 1994, it has been listed as a World Heritage site in Danger.
In its report on the state of conservation of the World Heritage site, IUCN and the World Heritage Centre expressed deep concern about the fact that several oil companies have received government concessions to explore areas overlapping Virunga National Park. IUCN's position is that oil development is incompatible with World Heritage status.
Last year, the World Heritage Committee appealed for any mining or oil exploration to stop within the boundaries of the park.
The World Heritage Committee reiterated its deep concern that the Government had not excluded the park from the oil concession areas as it had requested at previous sessions. On the contrary, there are concerns over possible intentions to degazette the National Park. The irreversible impact of such drastic measures on the site's Outstanding Universal Value could potentially lead to the entire park being taken off the World Heritage List in the future.

Thanks to the ambition and generosity of four superyacht crewmembers participating in the Put Foot Rally Charity Drive, numerous southern African kids will get their first pair of school shoes.
More than 150 cars will attempt to drive 9,000-kilometers in 18 days throughout six southern African countries for the Put Foot Rally. After their June 15 registration in Cape Town, South Africa, the teams will start the rally the next day from there and end their journey in Mozambique on July 4. The Put Foot charity's overall goal is to raise funds for 1,000 brand-new school shoes for young, underprivileged learners across southern Africa — including South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique. The "shoe drop" is in Zambia, where they'll personally put school shoes on the children themselves. Team Rusty Roosters Crew's goal is to raise US$8,000; each new pair of shoes costs $13.
Joining Team Rusty Roosters Crew are Chief Engineer Sam Smith and Chief Stewardess Jaime-li Roux of M/Y Lagniappe, Chief Engineer Ashley Biggs of M/Y Eileen, and Lead Deckhand Christopher King of M/Y Abbracci. Teams get to choose their vehicle, and the Rusty Roosters Crew will drive through each country in a 1998 Jeep Cherokee. Since 100 percent of all the donations they raise goes straight to the foundation for the children, the team is responsible for things like the cost of food, gear, camp sites, border crossings, fuel, and the car itself.
"In Africa, shoes are seen as a luxury, but more importantly, they are something that help children in their basic travels to school and back to improve their daily life," Roux writes on the team's charity fundraiser page. "These shoes provide warmth in winter and the protection of extreme heat in summer." Smith points out that as yacht crew, "most of us never see REAL poverty" since the superyacht world is one of the most luxurious industries anywhere. He says that even if someone can only give a small amount, they'll see how positively it will affect a child on the other side of the world.
Team Rusty Roosters Crew has already received some generous donations from companies like Rybovich Marina, AME Solutions, Yacht Spares, and Mendol USA. At the time of press, they've raised about $5,000 of their $8,000 target. To help them reach their goal, visit the team's fundraising page at www.givengain.com/ap/rustyroosters. You can follow their journey on Instagram @rustyroosterscrew, where they will be posting photos in every country along the way, including those of the kids being fitted with shoes.

De Aula Rector Dhanis is het grootste auditorium van de Universiteit Antwerpen in de Stadscampus. De aula ligt in het stadscentrum van Antwerpen.

Het gebouw uit 2002 ontworpen door Driesen-Meersman-Thomaes Architecten (DMT) was een van de nominaties in de categorie nieuwbouw bij de allereerste editie van de Prijs Bouwmeester, toen nog Prijs Bouwheer 2003, een prijsuitreiking ondersteund door de toenmalige Vlaamse Bouwmeester, bOb Van Reeth. De Aula Rector Dhanis werd derde laureaat en leverde de architecten een bronzen aandenken op. De Aula was eveneens een van de geselecteerde projecten bij de eerste Nacht van de Architectuur op 12 oktober 2007, onder meer door cineaste Kaat Beels uitgewerkt met de kortfilm Taking Care.

Het gebouw is gelegen in de ruimte tussen de aaneengesloten bebouwing van de drie aanpalende straten, in de driehoek gevormd door Kleine Kauwenberg, Vekestraat en Paardenmarkt. De bijhorende gebouwen van het complex en de voornaamste toegang bevinden zich aan de Kleine Kauwenberg, een dienstdoorgang en de uitrit van de ondergrondse parking van het complex in de Vekestraat. Het ligt iets ten noorden maar slechts een blok verwijderd van de historische gebouwen waar de Universitaire Faculteiten Sint-Ignatius Antwerpen in gevestigd waren.

Het werd ingehuldigd op 13 februari 2002 bij de viering van het honderdvijftigjarig bestaan van de Sint-Ignatius Handelshogeschool die in 1852 werd opgericht, en in 1965 overging in de Universitaire Faculteiten Sint-Ignatius Antwerpen (UFSIA). De opening vond plaats anderhalf jaar voor in oktober 2003 de UFSIA definitief opging in de Universiteit Antwerpen. Met de naam van het complex en de aula werd door UFSIA rector Etienne Dhanis s.J. gevierd, de eerste rector van de UFSIA.

Het complex is opgesplitst in vier afzonderlijke gebouwen:
 Aula Rector Dhanis (auditorium met 700 zitplaatsen)
 Gebouw met 2 kleinere auditoria (2x 100) en 4 leslokalen (4x 50)
 Het Unifac-gebouw/Studentenfoyer (zijde Kleine Kauwenberg)
 Lokalen voor Studentenclubs (Unifac, Wikings-NSK...)
 Studentenhuisvesting ("koten")
 Vergaderzaal
 Kantoorgebouw (zijde Vekestraat)
De Aula telt 700 zitplaatsen en heeft 3 grote schermen voor de projectie van studieondersteunend materiaal. Er werd expliciet rekening gehouden met de toenemende gemiddelde lengte van studenten, met hogere deuren en meer beenruimte. De grootste aula op de Buitencampus is de Aula Fernand Nédée (Gebouw Q) op de Campus Drie Eiken. Deze biedt ongeveer plaats aan 600 mensen. Naast de Aula Rector Dhanis telt de Stadscampus nog andere grote aula's waaronder de R.001, de R.002, de M.001 en de M.002.

Met een gedeelte van de ruimte onder de betonnen schelp, onder de helling van de zitplaatsen van het auditorium is een semi-publiek binnenpleintje gemaakt, dat ruimte schept tussen de verschillende gebouwen van het complex waarin ook kantoren zijn opgenomen. Het geheel is onderkelderd met een ondergrondse parkeergarage met 96 plaatsen.

In het complex zijn fotoprints op glas van de uit Oostenrijk afkomstige Brusselse Aglaia Konrad geïntregreerd. Een andere kunstenaar, de Brit Perry Roberts, tekende voor de kleurkeuzes in pasteltinten van de eindafwerking van meerdere wanden en het meubilair van en in de gebouwen.

In today's hugely competitive consumer market, gaining the shopper's attention has become as important as a store's location and the products on sale. Stores regularly revamp their interiors in a bid to keep on top of trends, as well as to appear new and refreshed.
Shine, positioned as one of Hong Kong's leading high-end multi-brand fashion stores, is known for bringing pioneering foreign brands to the territory's clientele. Launching recently in Hong Kong's bustling Causeway Bay area, Kristof Crolla of Laboratory for Explorative Architecture & Design (LEAD) and Nelson Chow of NC Design & Architecture (NCDA) have conceived Shine's flagship boutique, showcasing how an architectural reinterpretation of contemporary textile patterns and accessories can be seamlessly integrated into fashion retail, creating an intriguing yet highly functional contemporary store.
Located in Fashion Walk, the Shine store optimises its relation to the street through an open façade, visually doubling the space through a fully mirrored back wall. In the main room, pieces from various designers are presented against a monochromatic background into a flexible open shelving system.
The shelves' design is based on a folding luggage rack and its leather surface with integrated lighting has leather belts strapped around it to reveal the names of the designer brands below. The cashier area in the back of the store conceals the fitting rooms and storage entrance behind a continuously folded black steel wall that resembles long folded dressing partitions and forms the most intimate and private area within the overall shop.

CM Magazine: Can You Find My Robot's Arm?
ISBN 978-1-101-91903-3 (hc.), ISBN 978-1-101-91904-0 (epub).
No, a broom won't make a good arm.
And an umbrella certainly won't do.
Can You Find my Robot's Arm? is the creative invention of author and illustrator Chihiro Takeuchi who has previously published children's works in Japanese. In this fun and humorous read, the black and white illustrations tell the tale of a tiny robot who one day realizes that his mechanical arm has gone missing. With the assistance of a miniature robot sidekick, the robot goes off in search of his lost appendage. While an abundance of substitute 'arms', such as a fork, branch, fish bone, and even a lollipop, are considered, none can adequately serve as an effective replacement. In the end, the robot decides that the fork, which is the most similar in size and design, will have to do as an alternative until his original arm can be located. On the final page, readers are provided with a surprise twist as the robotic arm is shown in a bowl next to the dog house of a robotic dog who evidently had snatched the arm, thinking all along that it had been a bone.
Takeuchi uses paper cut to create her illustrations, and the effect is quite pleasing to the eye. The black cutouts on the white background boldly stand out, allowing each small detail to be clearly observed. Colour is only used as a background to the text on the left hand pages, and it acts as a lovely contrast to the black and white of the imagery. Some pages are wordless which invite readers to pause and carefully investigate the visual content for potential clues offering hints about where the robot's arm could possibly be located. Young children will certainly delight in attempting to solve the mystery and may enjoy brainstorming ideas about other potential household items that could serve as a makeshift arm.
Takeuchi's miniature robotic world is a joy to explore. Her original, illustrative style, which offers amusing variations between single, full-page pictures and multiple, smaller-framed images, successfully holds readers' attention and sparks the imagination. An entertaining, interactive adventure from cover to cover, Can You Find my Robot's Arm? would serve as a motivational acquisition for any library or home collection.

I often get compliments about layering and requests for help. Here are some tips to create interesting outfits from your own pieces.
Of course the easy way to layer is to wear a coat/jacket over a blouse or sweater.
But layering becomes more complicated when you need extra layers and the lengths are all different. Here are some tips for getting a unique look that is also practical.
Above I'm wearing another outfit that demonstrates layering techniques. We started the day early and the air was very chilly…brrr! I am wearing a long sleeved tee under a silk shirt with a velvet hoody over and a roomy cardigan over the top.
When the sun came out off came the layers! What makes this layered look effective is the use of different textures within one color palette and also introducing one longer layer to elongate the body.
Another layered look and ways to look stylish as you strip off by tying the sweater around your waist or your neck.
Layering is not necessarily done to achieve warmth. Sometimes it can be used as a device to add interest.
An open cardi worn over a very fine blouse adds textural interest to a simple outfit.
Another tip for layering pieces is to think about order of wear…for instance this denim shirt jacket looks equally good under a sweater or over another blouse or tee.
Style Philosophy: use imagination to produce different looks from the same pieces. Rotating your separates can provide hundreds of different looks from a surprisingly few basics.

Both sides are recent graduates of National League Two North, having come up together at the end of the 2011/12 season. OAs finished above Richmond after the first year but they switched places at the conclusion of the next campaign.
This term, head coach Steve Hills has seen his side to seven wins from 10 games. They sit in fifth, nine places ahead of OAs, who lost their opening eight games.
The last two weeks have seen a turnaround in fortunes, though, and back-to-back wins have given OAs a head of steam.
"They've had a cracking start to the league, the polar opposite of us, but if we get our act together and the lads bring the same attitude that they have been then we're more than capable of getting a result," said Holloway.
After encouraging displays in losses to Fylde and Blaydon, OAs dominated Wharfedale before grinding out a 14-8 win against Cinderford in their last outing.
"I knew these performances were coming. We just needed to get over the line once – that gave the lads a massive boost," said Holloway.

← Can Steamed Hay Be a Game-Changer for Your Horse?
As we all know, showing hunter jumpers on the A-circuit isn't exactly known for being budget-friendly, but lately Facebook has been full of turmoil as show fees seem to be rising across the country. USEF raised the fee for lifetime recording of a horse from $200 to $300 in one year. Meanwhile, class fees, stall fees and nomination fees are rising, while prize money is staying the same. Here I am, scrolling through my phone and thinking: how the heck am I supposed to get time off work and save up the funds to attend more than two shows this year?
A few weeks back, my trainer and I had a heart-to-heart about my riding goals versus my budget. It has always been my goal to be as successful as possible, all the while growing through the levels at a decent pace. I had big dreams of hauling to some of the most dreamy venues like WEF, Devon or Live Oak and showing against top amateurs across the country, but with each check I write it becomes increasingly obvious that I can't keep up with the Joneses on the A-circuit. As I rattled off some ideas of ways I could cut costs or bring in supplemental income to afford my habit, my trainer piped up and said, "or you could try eventing.
Flash and I at our first eventing derby. Photo by Jen Robertson.
The unique thing about my barn, Altamonte Show Stables in St. Louis, Missouri, is that they focus on both jumpers and eventing. I have gone on a few cross-country schooling opportunities and competed in an eventing derby in the past, but have never been brave enough to make the switch. In truth, I am horribly stubborn and once I set my sights on one day competing in the upper echelons of show jumping, I didn't want to defer from that dream.
Membership for the USHJA is $85 for one year or $240 for three years.
Membership for US Equestrian is $80 yearly.
If you are calculating on the low-end, I have found that I need to save around $1,500 for each show, and that number does not count trainer fees, hauling fees, hotel or food. If I did one show at around $2,500 a month, every other month, I would spend $15,000 alone in show-related expenses. As supportive as my husband is, there is no way I can convince him to support that number on top of other horse related expenses.
Membership for USEA is $95 for one year.
Membership for US Equestrian is $80 yearly but only required for Preliminary level and up.
Entry fees range from $150-400 per weekend.
Stabling ranges from $80-200 per weekend, but some venues that charge higher entry fees include the cost of stabling.
Some events have additional fees such as grounds fees, medic fees or office fees. Typically these fees are less than $100.
For now, I am going to don a cross country vest, grab a little mane and give a few horse trials a go. I won't give up on the jumper ring completely, but I definitely aim to supplement my show schedule with eventing throughout the year. Who knows, maybe along the way I will find that my wallet and I love it and that my riding benefits from crossing disciplines.

OBJECTIVE. Colorimetric carbon dioxide detectors are used for confirmation of endotracheal intubation. The colorimetric carbon dioxide detectors that are used for neonates are labeled for use with infants and small children >1 and <15 kg. The objective of this study was to determine the minimal tidal volume that causes a breath-to-breath color change on 2 colorimetric carbon dioxide detectors.
METHODS. Using an artificial-lung model, we determined the tidal volume threshold of 2 colorimetric carbon dioxide detectors (Pedi-Cap [Nellcor, Pleasanton, CA] or Mini StatCO2 [Mercury Medical, Clearwater, FL]) during ventilation with a T-piece resuscitator or neonatal ventilator. Digital video recordings of the colorimetric carbon dioxide detectors were made during 20 seconds of ventilation at each tidal volume. Seven clinicians who were blinded to the tidal volume reviewed the videos in random order and graded the color change to determine adequacy for clinical application.
RESULTS. The Mini StatCO2 tidal volume threshold was 0.83 mL, and the Pedi-Cap tidal volume threshold was 1.08 mL.
CONCLUSIONS. The lung model revealed that the tidal volume threshold for the tested colorimetric carbon dioxide detectors is less than the expected tidal volume of a 400-g infant and suggests that these devices are appropriate for use with any neonate to confirm intubation.
colorimetric carbon dioxide detector
In the United States, 4 million infants are born each year, and ∼13% are preterm, including 1.5% who weigh <1.5 kg.1 A majority of intubations during neonatal resuscitation and in the NICU occur in preterm infants. In a recent large multicenter review, ∼89% of extremely low birth weight (501–1000 g) infants were treated with intubation and mechanical ventilation2; therefore, methods to improve confirmation of intubation for this preterm infant population are of great interest. Current methods for confirming intubation include direct visualization of the endotracheal tube passing through the vocal cords, inspection of chest wall movement, auscultation of breath sounds, condensation on the endotracheal tube during expiration, and more recently end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) detection.3–12 In the Fifth Edition revised Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) guidelines, increasing heart rate and exhaled CO2 detection including colorimetric CO2 detectors are the primary methods recommended for confirmation of endotracheal intubation in infants13; however, current product labeling of colorimetric CO2 detectors recommends use for infants and small children who weigh >1 kg and <15 kg.
Colorimetric CO2 detectors are a semiquantitative, noninvasive method to evaluate ETCO2 and demonstrate breath-to-breath color change after successful intubation. In addition, we have shown that these devices are useful in determining whether the airway is patent during bag and mask ventilation.14 Each colorimetric CO2 detector has a pH-sensitive chemical indicator that undergoes color change with each inspiration and expiration, thus reflecting the change in CO2 concentration. These devices start at baseline color when minimal CO2 is present and undergo gradual color change with increasing concentrations of CO2 (Fig 1). ETCO2 is a reflection of ventilation, cardiac output, pulmonary blood flow, and metabolism. In the setting of adequate perfusion, ETCO2 represents partial pressure of CO2 in circulating blood and thus changes with ventilation; however, during periods of inadequate pulmonary perfusion, such as during cardiorespiratory arrest, CO2 is not delivered to the lungs and measured ETCO2 is low. This is actually an indication of the inadequate cardiac output rather than the systemic CO2 level. Consequently, in the setting of significantly decreased cardiac output, there will be decreased pulmonary blood flow, and thus ETCO2 will be negligible.
Pedi-Cap and Mini StatCO2 directions for use and mechanical specifications.
The colorimetric CO2 detectors (Pedi-Cap [Nellcor, Pleasanton, CA] and Mini StatCO2 [Mercury Medical, Clearwater, FL]) currently available in the United States for use with infants and small children, are labeled for use with infants who weigh >1 kg and children who weigh <15 kg. Previous studies have shown that ETCO2 detection, including colorimetric CO2 detectors, decrease the time needed to recognize successful intubation.3,10,11 In our clinical experience, colorimetric CO2 detectors have always demonstrated easily detectable cyclic color change after intubation in any viable infant with adequate perfusion. Our objective for this study was to determine the minimum tidal volume (VT) that causes a clinically recognizable cyclic color change on the 2 colorimetric CO2 detectors currently available in the United States and labeled for use with neonates.
We created an artificial lung with a Pyrex (Corning Life Sciences, Lowell, MA) 1000 Griffin Low-Form 150-mL beaker that was covered with a VWR (VWR Scientific, Chester, PA) black rubber stopper and sealed with Parafilm M (Pechiney Plastic Packaging, Minneapolis, MN). A hole was made in the rubber stopper and, a 2.5-cm endotracheal tube was inserted and sealed with Parafilm M. With the use of a commercially available data acquisition system (MP 150 [Biopac Systems Inc, Goleta, CA]), pneumotachometer (Fleisch OO [OEM Medical, Richmond, VA]), and amplifier/transducer (TSD 160A [Biopac Systems Inc, Goleta, GA]) the flow was measured and integrated to determine the tidal volume (VT). The compliance of the artificial lung was determined, and the system was calibrated. Calibration was confirmed by instilling 1 mL of room air into the system and verifying that the appropriate volume was calculated. Before each trial, the apparatus was charged with 5% CO2 and the dead space flushed with 2 to 4 mL of room air. Each colorimetric CO2 detector was connected to a 2.5-mm endotracheal tube placed in the artificial lung and ventilated with a neonatal ventilator or a T-piece resuscitator. The Pedi-Cap response degrades over its 2-hour life span; therefore, it was changed every 30 minutes during the experiment. The Mini StatCO2 was not changed during the course of the experiment, because it has a 24-hour life span. With the use of the Millennium ventilator (Sechrist, Anaheim, CA), the artificial lung was ventilated at a VT between 0.45 mL and 2.80 mL using a peak inspiratory pressure that ranged from 2 to 18 cm H2O, a positive end expiratory pressure of 0 cm H2O, a flow of 8 L/minute, an inspiratory time/expiratory time ratio of 1:4, and a rate of 30 breaths per minute. With the use of the T-piece resuscitator (Neopuff [Fisher and Paykel Healthcare, Auckland, New Zealand]), the artificial lung was ventilated at a VT between 0.28 mL and 2.00 mL by using a peak inspiratory pressure that ranged from 1 to 15 cm H2O, a positive end expiratory pressure of 0 cm H2O, a flow of 8 to 10 L/minute, and rate averaged at 30 breaths per minute with 2 seconds per breath. A Sony (Sony USA, New York, NY) DCR-TRV 950 Digital Video Recorder focused on the colorimetric CO2 detector recorded 20 seconds at each VT, including the first breath. For each colorimetric CO2 detector, we video recorded 12 to 14 different VT by using both the neonatal ventilator and the T-piece resuscitator.
Seven clinicians, including neonatologists, respiratory therapists, and neonatal fellows who were blinded to the actual tested VT, independently reviewed the video recordings in random order and graded the cyclic color changes. Reviewers were instructed to rate each color change from 0 (no color change) to 5 (full color change). When color change was present, each reviewer then determined whether it was clinically applicable and would be interpreted as successful intubation. VT threshold was defined as the VT at which all reviewers identified a clinically significant color change. To evaluate the effect of viewing the video recording on color change assessment, the researchers rated the color change during the live experiment by using the same evaluation system. These results were not used for any statistical calculations, and they were consistent with the VT threshold determined by the blinded reviewers. The results were analyzed by using simple descriptive statistics in Sigma Stat 2.03, and box plots were generated by using Sigma Plot 10.0 (Systat Software, Inc, Point Richmond, CA).
With the use of the Millennium ventilator, the Mini StatCO2 VT threshold was 0.85 mL (SD: ±0.22; range: 0.66–1.30 mL). There was no observed color change at a VT <0.53 mL. With the use of the NeoPuff, the Mini StatCO2 VT threshold was 0.82 mL (SD: ±0.10; range: 0.71–0.90 mL. There was no color change at a VT <0.28 mL. For the Mini StatCO2, the VT threshold during the live experiment was 0.66 mL by using the ventilator and 0.73 mL by using the T-piece resuscitator. With the use of the combined data for neonatal ventilator and the T-piece resuscitator, the VT threshold for the Mini StatCO2 was 0.83 mL (SD: ±0.16). Figure 2 is box plot showing the first and third quartiles, median, and outliers for the combined data of the Mini StatCO2.

Whiskers (error bars) above and below the box represent the 90th and 10th percentiles. •, Outliers.
With the use of the Millennium ventilator, the Pedi-Cap VT threshold was 1.06 mL (SD: ±0.29; range: 0.79–1.60 mL). There was no color change at a VT <0.86 mL. With the use of the NeoPuff, the Pedi-Cap VT threshold was 1.11 mL (SD: ±0.15; range: 0.87–1.3 mL). There was no color change at a VT <0.72 mL. For the Pedi-Cap, the VT threshold during the live experiment was 0.79 mL by using the ventilator and 0.87 mL by using the T-piece resuscitator. With the use of the combined data for neonatal ventilator and the T-piece resuscitator, the VT threshold for the Pedi-Cap was 1.08 mL (SD: ±0.23). Figure 2 is box plot showing the first and third quartiles, median, and outliers for the combined data of the Pedi-Cap.
The current NRP guidelines state that "an increasing heart rate and CO2 detection are the primary methods for confirming endotracheal tube placement."13 This creates a dilemma because currently available colorimetric CO2 detectors are labeled for use with infants and small children who weigh >1 kg and <15 kg. We have experience in the delivery room with video recording resuscitations for >8 years, during which we have not seen any infant with adequate perfusion, including extremely low birth weight infants, for which there was no detectable cyclic color change after successful intubation.15,16 Our experimental results confirm our clinical observation by demonstrating that the VT threshold for the colorimetric CO2 detectors labeled for use with infants who weigh >1 kg and <15 kg is between 0.83 mL and 1.08 mL, which is less than the expected VT (3 mL/kg) of a 400-g infant; therefore, the VT of any viable infant is above the VT threshold for these devices despite the current manufacturer labeling.
Previous studies have already demonstrated the utility of ETCO2 detection for the confirmation of endotracheal tube placement in infants and children in various settings, including operating rooms, ICUs, and emergency departments.3–8,10–12 In a neonatal population that included infants who weighed <1000 g, Aziz et al3 compared the colorimetric CO2 detector with clinical evaluation to confirm endotracheal intubation in the delivery room and the NICU. They found that the CO2 detector decreased the time needed to determine endotracheal tube position from a mean of 39.7 seconds (SD: ±15.3 seconds) to a mean of 8.1 second (SD: ±2.9 seconds). In this study 42% (19 of 45) of the patients weighed <1 kg. There were 3 false-negative results, including 1 infant who weighed <1 kg, all with cardiorespiratory compromise.
The failure to detect a cyclic color change with a colorimetric CO2 detector may have several causes. Multiple studies have shown that no color change occurs in the setting of cardiopulmonary arrest.7,10,11 NRP guidelines indicate that the CO2 monitor "may not change color if the cardiac output is very low or absent" and go on to indicate that if there is no detectible heartbeat, then a CO2 monitor should not be used as an indicator of placement. Another potential false-negative result would be that the VT is below the device threshold. Our study has revealed that this is rarely a factor in the newborn infant, consistent with our previous clinical observations.
In addition, false-positive results may occur with esophageal intubation as a result of CO2 in the stomach. An animal study by Garnett et al9 demonstrated that after instillation of carbonated beverages in the stomach, there is a detectable level of CO2, but it rapidly decreases with continued ventilation with a negligible amount remaining after 6 breaths. In addition, animal experiments with colorimetric CO2 detectors by Bhende et al17 of piglets showed that sensitivity and specificity were 100% with a P < .001 for all tracheal and esophageal intubations after instillation of carbonated beverages. Currently, the manufacturers recommend interpreting color change only after giving 6 breaths; therefore, esophageal intubation may produce an initial color change, but this effect quickly disappears.
Other limitations of the colorimetric CO2 detectors are that they demonstrate color change when the endotracheal tube is in any portion of the respiratory tree, such as the oropharynx or right main stem bronchus. Also, irreversible color change is caused by exposure to epinephrine or gastric juices and prolonged exposure to high humidity.6
Previous clinical studies have demonstrated the utility of colorimetric CO2 detectors in confirming intubation, and our results establish that they are appropriate for use in any viable infant with adequate perfusion; therefore, consistent with current NRP guidelines, we recommend the use of colorimetric CO2 detectors to confirm intubation in any newborn infant and encourage the manufacturers to reevaluate current product labeling.

Previous studies have demonstrated that colorimetric CO2 detectors are helpful in confirming endotracheal intubation; however, the colorimetric CO2 detectors that are used for neonates are labeled for use with infants who weigh >1 kg.
This study reveals that the tidal volume threshold for these colorimetric CO2 detectors is less than the expected tidal volume in a 400-g infant. Thus, these devices are appropriate for use with any neonate to confirm intubation.

This post was written by Beth, aged 14, as part of our Children's Writing Competition.
Recently, I visited the beautiful city of Cambridge and I enjoyed a lovely day out with my family. Cambridge is an incredible city and very historic. If you haven't visited before, here is why you should go and where to visit.
If you are driving to Cambridge, it is easier to use the Park and Ride rather than driving into the city centre. We parked at the New Market road carpark, bought the 'park and ride' tickets and took the bus into Cambridge.
Once we arrived, my family and I walked down the main street and had a look around some of the shops. There were some clothes shops, a fudge shop and many others. I took some photos of the main street, featuring the 'Olde sweet shoppe.' We wanted to look round some of the colleges in Cambridge. The University of Cambridge was opened in 1209 and its colleges also date back mainly to the medieval period. There are 31 colleges in Cambridge. The city is home to over 15,000 students. While you are in Cambridge, you will see many students and residents cycling around the city centre.
Directly opposite the shops on the main street is King's College, part of The University of Cambridge. The college is very impressive! It is a very popular college in Cambridge and has spectacular grounds and a historical chapel.
I would definitely recommend going to visit King's College, just to see the Chapel. It is beautiful. It was founded in 1441 by Henry VI and is famous for its choir. It is also renowned due for its 'A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols' broadcast live every year on Christmas Eve since 1928. The choir has now established its reputation as one of the best choirs in the world.
King's College choir has 16 choristers, aged 9 – 13 years old. The choir also includes 14 undergraduates studying for degrees in a variety of subjects. Many pursue a career in music and singing after leaving university. There are also two organ scholars. The Chapel Choir performs internationally at renowned venues throughout the world. The choir has been performing abroad on tours since 1936.
By the back lawn of King's College, is the River Cam. This is very popular with tourists, due to the traditional activity of punting which takes place on the River. There are many bridges where you can take photos of people punting, for example, from the lawn of King's College. I enjoyed taking the photos. But unfortunately, I did not get the opportunity to go punting due to the bad weather. Nevertheless, you should definitely go punting if you visit Cambridge on a sunny day. It is something I certainly wish I could have done.
After lunch, we continued sight-seeing. We passed the Corpus Clock which is a large sculptural clock at street level. It was unveiled in 2008 by Stephen Hawking. He famously attended the Trinity Hall college in Cambridge. The clock is spectacular and popularly admired by tourists and residents. You must take a look at it if you pass the junction of Benet street and Trumpington street, looking out onto King's Parade. We also took some photos outside some of the other colleges including St Catharine's.
Later in the day, we passed the Great St Mary's Church. Although we did not go to the top, we enjoyed taking photos from the outside. I would recommend you do go to the top (if you are not scared of heights!) for some great panoramic views of Cambridge.
To end our day trip in Cambridge, we looked around the Fitzwilliam museum. It is a very impressive building and home to 84 collections of artwork. It was established in 1816 and it is not too far from the main street, and a short walk from King's College. If you are interested in artwork and enjoy visiting museums then I would definitely recommend this museum. Not only was the museum impressive, but it has also free admission!
I really enjoyed my day trip to Cambridge! I think it is a beautiful city and I loved visiting King's College with my family. If I went again, I would look around more of the colleges, go punting on the River Cam and climb St Mary's church!


Spread one tablespoon of Nutella on the face of each slice of bread. Top one with banana slices and place second slice on top.
Heat the frying pan and melt ½ of the butter. Place the sandwich into the pan and fry until golden.
Add the remaining butter to the pan and flip the sandwich, cooking until the other side is golden.
Serve after leaving to sit for a minute or two as the banana will be really hot.
I used good Italian Pane di Casa bread for this.
This sandwich was inspired by Elvis, who preferred peanut butter and not Nutella on his sandwiches.


I spent the afternoon at my local CSA at their end of season 'pig out' where you can come their fields and take what's left. While I won't bore you with my new problem of what to do with more beets than I've ever seen in one place I will share this unusual cauliflower I got. It looked so alien and weird I was compelled to take some pictures of it.
I was on military duty for a few days and had to do my PT test. Due to uneasiness among some of my comrades about my alternate footwear, I ran in traditional running shoes for the first time in about six months. It was rather uncomfortable as there was so much cushion on my shoes it felt like I didn't have a good grip on the track. Still, I did fairly well and feel I could have shaved a few more seconds off my time had I been able to run in the shoes I'd trained in.
I also got to see the humvee rollover trainer (skip to about 1:40).
As I see all the training and preparation that goes into getting soldiers ready for mobilization and the procedures and time spent on demobilizing them, it's hard to believe my experiences were part of the same war. The system is by no means perfect now but it's way, way better than when I went through.


Fish Out is a website specialized for predicting weather conditions like wave height, wind speed, atmospheric pressure, temperature and tide on the Mediterranean sea coast of Israel, mostly for fishermen (but not only...). Charts and widgets are based on information that is generated by measurements from various sources. The primary reason to create this site was the idea to get the information quickly and easily without wild clicking a button while searching for info all over the internet.
Important: The predictions you can see on this website are definitely not official weather forecasts. What you see is just raw type data in human readable format, the choice is yours how to interpret it. Please note that models are only models, predicting weather is very hard task and these models are extremely complicated, if the forecasts aren't perfect, it's normal.
