Linguistic Diversity, What for?
What is linguistic diversity? What are its implications and opportunities? How is diversity around the world? How is it experienced, understood and managed in different contexts? What is your knowledge and experience about languages and diversity? In this course we approach linguistic diversity and multilingualism not only from a theoretical point of view, but also from a perspective oriented to help understand and manage various contexts that emerge from diversity in different environments of social interaction. The contents will cover aspects related to the conceptual and legal frameworks and to specific cases of linguistic diversity. You are invited to enrich these contents with your contribution. Through this course, we hope to create a platform of sharing and discussion in order to enrich all participants' knowledge, open perspectives and encourage the defense and promotion of linguistic diversity. You can see the promotional video of the course at this link: https://youtu.be/aVzCKGtuNPY Join us! This course has been designed by Linguapax International, with the support of the Department of Culture and the Department of Foreign Action, Institutional Relations and Transparency of the Catalan Government and with the collaboration of the UNESCO Chair in Linguistic and Cultural Diversity of the Institute of Catalan Studies.

Hi, my name is Subhashish. I'm a volunteer of O Fundation, active community member of Rising Voices. In this video, I'm going to talk about how Rising Voices is helping amplify marginalized voices through digital activism four languages and is helping build pure learning networks. Rising Voices is the digital inclusion arm of Global Voices and helps meaningful participation of marginalized and or under-represented communities in the digital space. Global Voices is a diverse international community that advocates for and reports on various issues and those issues range from human rights and Internet rights to the issues of under-represented communities that are facing to tell their stories. Global Voices is available in 40 World languages. Digital activism lies in the core of Rising Voices. We think of digital activism as a device. It helps guide how the Internet, digital media, and technology are used as tools to promote the use of indigenous minority languages and under-represented languages and under-resourced languages to intentional projects and initiatives. These are designed to encourage young speakers for the use of languages in new spaces to share knowledge and skills. Some of the practical actions include facilitation of networks of language, digital activist through pure learning and knowledge exchange. Rising Voices has organized and co-organized gatherings in Mexico, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Columbia, Julian, Guatemala since 2014. These spaces have been very instrumental in pure learning and exchange of knowledge, experience and they've helped build new skill set. The networks of people with different skill set are also very useful for fostering stronger and long lasting collaborations. Being a publication platform, Rising Voices helps language digital activists talk about their own challenges and the ways that they use to overcome the same, so others can adopt the strategies and can apply in their own contexts. These issues range from technological challenges and strategies like lack of input tools for written language or what happens when there is no consensus of writing systems for an oral language. Rising Voices design a lot of social media campaigns to amplify the work of language digital activists and help them share their stories directly. There are four rotating tutor campaigns at this moment. There's AsiaLangsOnline in Asia, NativeLangsTech in North America, and ActLenguas in South America and DigiAfricanLang in Africa that are run in rotation by regional languages digital activists. One of these activists, his name is Fikri Ansori, he's from Indonesia. He shared how he standardizing the Rejang script, which is used for his native language Rejang. There was a campaign called Meme ML that Rising Voices has organized in the recent past. This is to celebrate the International Mother Language day by encouraging people to create memes in their languages. This a fun way to participate online and another initiative is creation of an online directory, a project for Latin America as a way to share experiences and learn best practices. Rising voices is a partner for UNESCO's International Year of Indigenous Languages. This campaign has helped accelerate initiatives around the world to promote pluralism and linguistic diversity. This has also become really important to take forward linguistic diversity initiatives forward. Rising Voices has become an open space for collaboration with like spirited individuals and groups and we think of technology as a tool and not a panacea. To put that into perspectives, we put a lot of focus on people and digital activism becomes part of the overall strategy and it helps in building human networks. That is very important because it helps in pure learning mentorship, and find common perspectives while understanding unique context. This is a message that we will share with the rest of the world. While you were at this topic, also think about how communities can measure the impact of the use of technology and Internet for the growth and protection and preservation and even revitalization of under-represented languages beyond likes, fuse, and fans. Secondly, further ways communities can share their best practices and digital activism for languages with others. Thank you so much.

The Sobakawa Pillows review reveals that this pillow is various from a lot of pillows you've ever seen. Rather than artificial poly fill this pillow is filled with natural buckwheat. The buckwheat makes the pillow soft adequate to comply with your head yet tough sufficient to offer your neck with the proper support for comfy sleep.
Many people have a favored sleeping position. The Sobakawa Buckwheat review describes that the 10 reviews pillow can be used no matter what position you choose. To use the pillow effectively merely lay your head on the pillow to enable it to comply with your head. The pillow offers you the exact assistance you require so you'll never get up with another stiff neck or back once again.
The Sobakawa Buckwheat Pillows ensures that the pillow stays cool during use. One thing I dislike as many people do is a pillow that fumes while you utilize it. I do not like to be awakened with the need to keep moving and turning my pillow to find a cool spot. Rather the buckwheat filling out the Sobakawa Pillow permits air to distribute offering you with a comfy feel all night long.
My favorite feature of the Sobakawa Buckwheat Pillows is that it will always offer me a good nights sleep.

X Games Real Ski: Athlete + Judge Reactions
Blank Collective | Tales From Cascadia (Full Film)
Fabian Bösch & Tess Ledeux win FIS World Champs Big Air
Alex Beaulieu-Marchand, better known as ABM is skiing strong for a guy just back from knee surgery.
This interview was taken back in November at the International Freeskiing Film Festival in Montreal, before Alex Beaulieu-Marchand came hot out the start gates this month at the Dew Tour slopestyle with some of the most unique style in the field. Watching ABM at Dew Tour, it's hard to believe he's only been back on skis a few months.
Clip from my run today @dewtour! So hyped I landed a run and qualified 4th for finals! #blessed #skiingisfun @monsterenergy @oakleyskiing @volklskis. Full run on my Facebook page!
A video posted by Alex Beaulieu-Marchand (@abmskier) on Dec 10, 2015 at 4:44pm PST
Hey ABM, I heard you haven't been skiing in a while.
No, I haven't skied since January 26 when I blew my knee at X Games during qualifying. It was a sad moment for me, because with my first run I actually qualified for finals, and on my second run I blew my knee. It's always a dream to be in the X Games final, and not being able to compete sucked.
But now it's six months later and I'm gonna start skiing again. I'm really stoked, I'm feeling really strong and I worked really hard to get my knee back, and I can't wait to ski.
What happened exactly?
On the last jump I did a double bio 12 and went too big and overrotated. I feel like with the adrenaline, I spun a bit faster than I usually do and went bigger, so I couldn't stop my rotation and over-rotated to 14, backseat, and [my knee] popped. ACL, nothing else, so I'm pretty lucky.
I'm sure you had a full winter planned after X Games.
I was supposed to do a bunch of contests and then go back and film more street. I'd filmed some street during Christmas, but I was definitely hoping to film some more to get a full part together. But it all collapsed, and I went straight home, to the gym.
You went back to Quebec City?
Yeah, I was supposed to be living in Colorado, I'd rented a house for a year. But I had to go back home because that's where I could get health care and get my surgery, and I had a trainer and everything with the Canadian team. So I couldn't really stay in the U.S., and had to go back home and take care of myself.
You got some solid support from the Canadian team?
For sure, it really helped so much to have someone telling you what to do, all the exercises and stuff. I don't know anything about that, I just do what he tells me to do and that's pretty much it. Having a bunch of physio and everyone looking at my knee a lot is really going to give me a good chance at coming back strong.
What are you looking forward to this winter?
I'm looking forward to having some fun, man, and just enjoying the skiing. I know I'm going to be doing a bunch of contests, that's what I need to do basically, but I'm definitely trying to film also and I know what my projects are going to be. Hopefully I'm going to put a movie together with some other people if that's possible. But for the main part, I'm just going to try to get better at skiing in all the aspects, and enjoy it.
If you had to choose between an X Games podium, and a banger 4-minute segment in a good movie, what would you pick?
I would probably take the X Games podium because I've never done that before. I've been filming segments for movies since I was twelve. And I wouldn't really want a banger segment in a movie that's not my own kind of thing. Now I want to be more involved in a project with some people, and not just go film for a company and have some shots in their movie. I really want to work on my own stuff like JF did, or Clayton and Cam are doing. They're working on their own projects, they put it all together, and I feel like that's way sicker in the end because it's really how you want it to be, not how everyone else would make it.
By the way, props for probably the wildest unintentional trick at the Olympics.
That was crazy, a really weird rotation. To be honest it wasn't on purpose. I was trying to do the switch cork 9 nose tap, but before in practice I was doing switch bio 9 nose tap. I hit the doll super heavy on my nose and it threw me kind of bio. I'd already done that trick and I kind of knew the feeling, so I just went with it and landed, and was like, what the fuck happened?
Do you think you've got another run at the Olympics?
We'll see, really. I just want to get better, learn new tricks, but at the same time, competition is definitely super hard right now, and if I need to be doing both-way triples or stuff like that, I don't want to get injured or fuck myself up just to go the Olympics. It's in three years, and it seems so far away. Two years before the Olympics was the first time in a pro contest for me, so I never thought that I could ever go to the Olympics, but it happened. So I don't know if there's going to be a new kid coming up who'll be better than me, or it'll just be the next chapter in my skiing. But I'm just going to take it year by year and keep having fun and get better. If it happens, cool—if it doesn't, I'm going to be doing something else that's going to be dope.
What's the best thing about being from Quebec?
The best thing about being from Quebec is that there's snow all the time here! I grew up in the cold, in the snow, and for urban skiing I feel like it's the best environment—I almost never want to go somewhere else to ski urban. I go to other places, but I feel like, damn, I could probably get more stuff done if I was home. There's snow all the time, I know the place, I have a bunch of setups in mind, so why go anywhere else to ski urban? It's pretty much the best place.
Give a shoutout to a Quebecois skier who stoked you out when you were a kid.
Charles Gagnier and JF Houle were my two biggest idols when I was young. They were more like my time—there was Phil Belanger and all these other guys, but when I started freeskiing, Charles won X Games the year after. And we were skiing my home mountain with Vinnie, his little brother, and I was trying to follow them. They were a big inspiration for sure.
ABM, Alex Beaulieu-Marchand

EIT News Story
Mote Named USM Regents Professor
Former UM president C. D. (Dan) Mote, Jr., a professor of mechanical engineering at the Clark School, has been named a University System of Maryland Regents Professor.
Regents Professors are recognized for scholarly achievements and exceptional service to the system and to their respective institutions.
Mote served as president of UM from September 1998 to August 2010. He spurred the university to lead the state in the development of its high-tech economy, especially in the information and communication, bioscience and biotechnology, and nano-technology sectors. Mote greatly expanded the university's partnerships with corporate and federal laboratories and successfully negotiated to bring to the College Park area the first Science Research Park sponsored by the People's Republic of China. He is a leader in the national dialogue on higher education and his analyses of shifting funding models have been featured in local and national media. He has testified on major educational issues before Congress, representing the University and higher education associations on the problem of visa barriers for international students and scholars and on deemed export control issues.
Mote has served as vice chair of the Department of Defense Basic Research Committee, and is a member of the Council of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE). He was recently elected treasurer of the NAE. In 2004-2005, he served as president of the Atlantic Coast Conference. In 2002, Washington Business Forward magazine counted him among the top 20 most influential leaders in the region.
He has produced more than 300 publications, holds patents in the U.S., Norway, Finland and Sweden, and has mentored 56 Ph.D. students.

the 508 D complemented the range of large Mercedes-Benz vans launched in 1981. They were entirely adapted to the needs of professional drivers, featuring a sound-insulated cab, an ergonomically designed driver's seat and particularly clearly arranged gauges. Pickups, tippers, and chassis for special bodies were available in addition to panel van.


There will soon be nowhere to hide from Facebook selfies, Justin Bieber news and emails from your boss.
Satellite communications company Iridium has developed a Wi-Fi hotspot that can bring Internet connectivity to almost every corner of the planet.
The pocket-size device, set to be released in the second quarter, connects to the company's satellite voice network to provide service similar to the analog modems that were commonly used for landline Internet access until about a decade ago.
Speeds will be low -- about 20 kilobits per second, according to the company -- but a slow connection might be better than none at all, depending on the location.
To tackle the slow data rate, Iridium will offer its own email application that utilizes compression to increase data transmission efficiency. That should enable about 20 text-based emails per minute, the company said.
"We're working with app developers to create apps that are maximized to run on our network," said Ashley Eames, a spokeswoman for Iridium.
The hotspot will cost about US$800 and data rates will vary depending on the Iridium airtime plan. They will be sold as regional or seasonal packages with prices of around $1 per minute on prepaid plans.
Data speeds are expected to get faster in the coming years after Iridium launches a new fleet of satellites.
The low data transmission speed on the current network is a result of the satellites having been designed when data and Internet access weren't large priorities. The Iridium Next satellites that will launch from 2015 should provide 1.5M bps data service, according to the company.
Iridium offers a separate satellite broadband service, although it requires a large antenna and is targeted at maritime and aviation use.

K-Pop Queens G(I)-DLE Drop 'I burn' Mini-Album & "HWAA" Video
BLACKPINK & Selena's 'Ice Cream'
K-Pop broke new ground in 2020 with acts like BTS and BLACKPINK making chart history on what felt like a weekly basis. The popularity of the genre is expected to soar even higher in 2021 thanks to the emergence of exciting acts like G(I)-DLE. The six-member girl group has been building momentum since 2018, but they are ready to take it to the next level with I burn. The mini-album arrived earlier today (January 11) and immediately topped iTunes in more than 20 countries. (It soared into the top 5 in the US).
G(I)-DLE is promoting I burn with a new single called "HWAA," which is an instantly catchy banger. The group's label has provided an English translation, which reveals the song's defiant message. "As if in the dead of winter, the time freezes everything," they begin the track. "Left by the cruel wind, the darkness deepens." That takes us to the evocative chorus. "Make a fire so that my tears dwelling inside won't live any longer," they belt. "I shall make a fire, more fire to win back spring that I lost."
Stream G(I)-DLE's I burn EP below and watch their stunning "HWAA" visual at the bottom of the post.

I Will Transmigrate In 10 Days; Fortunately I Have A Cultivation Emulator - Chapter 298 - Nine Dragons True Qi
I Will Transmigrate In 10 Days; Fortunately I Have A Cultivation Emulator
Chapter 298 - Nine Dragons True Qi
[The person who appeared before the Demon Sages was naturally the leader of the most powerful world in this world.
[The Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court and Tathagata of the Buddhist League.
[Of course, there were also a few people following them. They were all late-stage Heavenly Lords.
"Amitabha. Benefactors, there's no need to make such a big fuss."
[A clear Buddhist voice resounded through the whole world. Tathagata did not want to fight with the Demon race at this time. The journey to the west was of great importance, so he only wanted to persuade the Demon Sages.
"Your Demon race has just exterminated the Dragon race of the four seas, and now you're killing your own kind. Your ambitions are like wolves. Do you think that the Heavenly Court won't dare to kill you?"
[Unlike Tathagata, the Jade Emperor had always regarded the Demon race as his mortal enemy. Especially after the Demon race exterminated the Dragon race of the four seas, the Jade Emperor had long wanted to take action and exterminate the Demon race. Otherwise, once the Demon race digested the gains of the four seas, the Heavenly Court would be in a passive position.
"Hmph, this is an internal conflict of my Demon race. Why do you want to interfere?"
[Although he was facing two of the world's top experts at the same time, Great Sage Demon Bull was still very bold.
[In terms of strength, he was not much different from the Jade Emperor and Tathagata.
[The only thing he lacked was that he hadn't reached the peak for as long as the two of them. However, it wouldn't be a big deal if they were to fight.
[Great Sage Demon Bull dared to be so unyielding because they were well prepared. Even if they started a war now, it would only be a small fight at best.
[The fact that Primordial Sage Nine Spirit had not appeared proved that things had not developed in the worst direction.
[The Buddhist League was most concerned about the journey to the west. They didn't want to interfere with the Demon race's trouble.
"The Heavenly Court controls the three realms. What can you do if we interfere in the internal affairs of your Demon race?"
[High up in the sky, the Jade Emperor's voice was very calm. However, his slightly shaking palm had already proved that he was ready to make a move.
"Then I'll have to ask for your advice, Jade Emperor."
[Seeing this, Great Sage Demon Bull did not hold back and punched in the direction of the Jade Emperor.
"Demon Bull Fist…"
[This punch carried Great Sage Demon Bull's full power. It was many times stronger than the punch he had used on the Scorpion Demoness.
[Upon seeing that Great Sage Demon Bull dared to make the first move, the Jade Emperor was instantly enraged. He had been high and mighty for a long time, and he was still not used to being provoked.
"Nine Dragons True Qi," the Jade Emperor said slowly.
[Then, nine golden threads of Dragon Qi instantly flew out from behind the Jade Emperor. The Dragon Qi seemed to have a mind of its own. It scattered from all directions and collided with the Demon Bull Fist. Then, it easily dissolved the Demon Bull Fist. The nine golden dragons turned and went straight for the Demon Bull.
[Great Sage Demon Bull had never seen a move that could break his Demon Bull Fist so easily.
[Seeing that the nine golden dragons were about to arrive, he immediately became anxious.
[First, he raised his hand and punched out several times. Then, he summoned his weapon and tried to cut the golden dragons.
[However, the golden dragons first swallowed the fist shadow, but under the force of Great Sage Demon Bull's ax, they were directly split into two. Then, they passed through the ax and instantly fused back together.
[A series of explosions rang out, and Great Sage Demon Bull's body was blown away.
[Although his 9th Protostar Heavenly Lord cultivation had greatly increased his defensive power, it was obvious that Great Sage Demon Bull had still suffered significant injuries from the Jade Emperor's move.
"Hmph, today, I'm going to kill the demon…"
[As the Jade Emperor's cold voice faded, nine golden dragons flew out from behind him and headed straight for Great Sage Demon Bull, who had been blasted to the ground.
"Haha, Your Majesty Jade Emperor, there's no need to be angry. You're arguing with a junior…"
[At that moment, the voice of Primordial Sage Nine Spirit echoed in the air. The eight Sea-Pacifying Pearls were instantly thrown out by him and collided with the nine golden dragons.
[This time, the situation that Great Sage Demon Bull had faced earlier did not happen.
[The two sides were in a stalemate for a while before they both retreated.
[The Dragon Qi returned to the Jade Emperor's body, and the eight Sea-Pacifying Pearls flew into the hands of Primordial Sage Nine Spirit.
"Nine-Headed Lion, I don't care about the internal affairs of the Demon race. However, don't blame me for exterminating the demons if you dare to provoke the Heavenly Court again."
[The Jade Emperor knew that it was impossible when he saw Primordial Sage Nine Spirit attack. He left a harsh sentence and turned to leave.
[To be honest, the Jade Emperor actually wanted to see the Demon race deal with their internal demons.
[Over the years, the Heavenly Court had also taken in many demons. For example, there were many Demon Immortals in the 28 Lunar Mansions.
[However, the truly powerful demons of the Demon race were not close to the Heavenly Court. They had all joined the Buddhist League.
[Once Great Sage Demon Bull was determined to get rid of these big demons, he would definitely have to fight with the Buddhist League.
[He was very willing to see the third party benefit from the fight between the sandpiper and the clam.
[As he thought about this, the Jade Emperor turned to look in the direction of the demons and then looked at Tathagata.
[The corners of his mouth couldn't help but reveal a smile.
'The Demon race and the Buddhist League will be destroyed by me sooner or later…'
[The Heavenly Court's people left, and the Demon Sages heaved a sigh of relief.
[The situation just now was simply too troublesome. They were truly afraid that they might accidentally clash with the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist League simultaneously.
[If they were to face one faction alone, they would still have the power to fight back. However, if they were to face two factions at the same time, they would only be courting death.
[Moreover, the Demon Sages were not at their peak at this time, and many of them were still injured. Therefore, no matter how one looked at it, the Demon race was at a disadvantage.
[Seeing the Jade Emperor leave, Primordial Sage Nine Spirit also relaxed a lot and turned to speak to Tathagata. "Buddha, are you really going to meddle in the affairs of my Demon race?"
[Tathagata said after a moment of silence as he looked at the severely injured Scorpion Demoness. "The three demons of the Lion Camel Ridge have joined the Buddhist League. If you insist on attacking, I'm afraid we'll have to fight."
[Tathagata's words had clearly given the Demon race a way out.
[That was, as long as you don't touch the three demons of the Lion Camel Ridge, we, the Buddhist League, will not interfere in the internal affairs of the Demon race.
[However, if you do anything to those three demons, don't blame us, the Buddhist League, for attacking you with all our might.
[Hearing this, Primordial Sage Nine Spirit also revealed a thoughtful expression.
[Great Sage Demon Bull had already recovered and could not help but shout at Tathagata, "The three demons of the Lion Camel Ridge are the Supreme Sages of the Demon race. Why are they siding with the Buddhist League?"
[The final target of this operation was set to be the three demons of the Lion Camel Ridge.
[The three demons were all powerful. Even if Great Sage Demon Bull went personally, he might not be able to take down the three demons.
[Three Demon Sages had turned to Buddhism. This was something that Great Sage Demon Bull would not allow.
[Therefore, after uniting the Demon Alliance, Great Sage Demon Bull was looking for an opportunity to kill the three demons at once.
[But now, Tathagata had come out personally to protect the three demons. This undoubtedly strengthened Great Sage Demon Bull's determination to get rid of the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge.]

So how exactly do you define value in healthcare? Is your definition focused on clinical benefit? Equity for patients? Patient safety? There is no simple, or consensus, definition for what is a very important term, especially as we go from Volume To Value. Click beneath for some important sample definitions from the Institute of Medicine, American Heart Association, and National Comprehensive Care Network. Whichever definition you adopt, do it soon! As I describe in an upcoming book (Volume to Value: Proven Methods For Achieving High Quality In Healthcare) the move to value instead of service line volume is already on!
But like "quality," "outcomes," "costs," "population health" and "disruptive innovation," "value" is not understood nor is a common definition widely accepted across the industry, and more important, outside. A classic definition for healthcare (a la Michael Porter) would be the outcomes received per dollar spent (1). But the healthcare industry has struggled to address value beyond broad conceptual frameworks and theoretic models. Reputable organizations and associations like those sampled below offer their unique approaches: most of these are based on expert judgment; a few are associated with empirical studies that correlate attributes with a measurable outcome.


All my sweatshirts have been going through processing as we were informed would happen once the base prices changed. What I don't understand is why Amazon is lowering all the prices on my sweatshirt when they are reprocessed, in some cases so low that I'm left with very little profit. Now I'll have to go back and manually change my prices to what they were before, which is a lot of unnecessary unpaid manual labor that will greatly reduce the time I have available to design and upload new shirts.
I thought the idea of lowering base prices on sweatshirts, hoodies and long sleeve shirts was to give us an opportunity to make a little more money. So why is Amazon lowering our prices without telling us they are doing so? What's the point?
Does nobody read the dashboard notices? It plainly says that they're lowering the cost (base price) of these products, and will lower list (selling price) by an equal amount, in order to make the products more competitive (sell more) with the same royalty as before. We made a lot more money on the products for a few weeks. Hooray! If you disagree with Amazon that lowering prices will increase sales frequency, then you may raise your prices back up.
Thank you for your explanation, Scott. I read the dashboard notices but didn't interpret this one correctly. I, along with thousands of other sellers, was celebrating the idea that for once, Merch might be allowing us to make more money instead of less, but no such luck.
That said. what's the point of Merch announcing they are lowering their base price to make it more competitive, meaning sellers can make more money, but then immediately lowering all set prices so sellers don't actually make any more money at all? Once again, a poorly thought out decision, this one just turning their shirt designers into nothing more than a specialized gang of their infamous Mechanical Turks. Amazon may be able to change prices on hundreds of thousands of shirts with a single click of a mouse, but for individual designers with thousands of listings, to change them back will require many hours of repetitive manual labor to get prices set correctly again. I thought the idea of decreasing base prices on sweatshirts, etc. was so sellers might benefit from the price decrease to help make up for the ever-decreasing royalties paid on t-shirts, which account for 70% of my sales. Silly me!
I started Merch in the very beginning and for those first few months, we were paid a $10.36 royalty for each t-shirt sold at $19.99. Why make such a change and boast in forums that it will help sellers make more money but then immediately implement automated actions which in reality mean we won't make a penny more? Not to mention the new automated prices look stupid. Who would price a sweatshirt at $30.46?
Won't make a penny more? They lowered the prices! Same product, about 20% lower prices, you should sell more of them. You're making the same royalty with each sale, I just don't see where the confusion lies. If you made $10 per hoodie before, you make $10 per hoodie now, and you should sell more hoodies overall = more money.
I apologize for my exasperated tone but if you sell hoodies or sweatshirts, you should rejoice at this, assuming you had your royalty set at a number you can live with to begin with.
Noticing this also on our account, not sure how many sweatshirts are affected.

Baseball Hall Of Famer Joe Morgan Dies At 77
Filed Under:Cincinnati Reds, Oakland Athletics, San Francisco Giants
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — Baseball Hall of Famer Joe Morgan, who starred for years with the Cincinnati Reds and played for both the San Francisco Giants and Oakland Athletics late in his career, has died at the age of 77.
He died at his home Sunday in Danville, a family spokesman said Monday. Morgan was suffering from a nerve condition, a form of polyneuropathy.
Morgan played 22 seasons in the majors, signing with the Houston Colt .45s in 1962 and then joining Cincinnati in 1972, where the All-Star 2nd baseman helped led the "Big Red Machine" to two World Series Championships in 1975 and 1976. Morgan was the National League's MVP in each of those years and was a 10-time All-Star and five-time Gold Glove winner.
He was was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1990.
After his final season playing with the Oakland A's, Morgan began a long career as a broadcaster for the Reds, Giants, ESPN, ABC and NBC. He had been a special advisor to the Reds' baseball operations department and CEO Bob Castellini since 2010.

The Reds family is heartbroken. Joe was a giant in the game and was adored by the fans in this city," said Castellini in a statement. "He had a lifelong loyalty and dedication to this organization that extended to our current team and front office staff. As a cornerstone on one of the greatest teams in baseball history, his contributions to this franchise will live forever. Our hearts ache for his Big Red Machine teammates."
The Oakland A's and San Francisco Giants both paid tribute to Morgan on their social media platforms.

Trending > Drug Discovery & Development
WRITTEN BY: Nouran Amin
For a long time cardiovascular issues related to the heart muscular wall have been addressed by therapeutics that targeted the symptoms of the disease rather than the structure and function of the cardiac muscle wall. Now, the first time, a medication has shown effects on targeting heart muscle thickness and function—particularly for the condition of HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy).
"This is the first study to show a favorable impact of a medication on cardiac structure and function in any form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy," says Sara Saberi, M.D., an assistant professor of internal medicine and a cardiologist at the Michigan Medicine Frankel Cardiovascular Center.
Learn more about HCM:
Current options for HCM involves making patients feel better or 'treating the symptoms' rather than the structural heart abnormalities. Although a rare disease, there is still a need for effective therapeutics.
"There's a huge void. HCM is a chronic progressive disease that still does not have a cure," Saberi says.
Findings were published in Circulation which address the underlying causes of HCM involving a motor protein and the examined drug 'mavacamten'.
"The medication works by blocking a protein called myosin from interacting too much with other motor proteins, which then allows the heart muscle to squeeze and relax more normally," Saberi explains. "It's the first class of medications that actually targets the underlying pathophysiology of HCM."
Specifically, the study measured mass reduction in the heart of participants.
"Cardiac MRI has such incredible visual and spatial resolution that you can accurately examine the heart's mass, volume, ejection fraction, or how well the blood is pumping, and fibrosis, which is the scar burden in the heart muscle," Saberi says.
"It's also encouraging that we don't see a worsening in fibrosis along with the normalization in ejection fraction," she says. Patients originally had a very high ejection fraction, but after treatment it moved into the normal range.

US DoD CTTSO to evaluate Decision Sciences' explosives detection technology
admin 12th August 2012
The US Department of Defense (DoD) Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office (CTTSO) has awarded a contract to Decision Sciences International to test innovative security solutions.
Under the eight-month estimated $400,000 contract, the company will test muon tomography based scanning systems that are capable of detecting explosives.
Decision Sciences President and CEO Dr. Stanton Sloane said the company will work with the DoD through CTTSO to evaluate and test its passive scanning technology.
The company's Multi-Mode Passive Detection System has been developed based on a technology that was originally created by the Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists.
MMPDS is a safe and reliable automated scanning device, which helps in rapid detection of potential threats in cargo, vehicles and other means of transport as well as nuclear and radiological threats.
The technology uses naturally occurring cosmic ray-induced muons, to detect and record the particles' deflection signatures with the help of advanced proprietary software and algorithms.
When combined with a gamma radiation detector, the system is capable of scanning containers as large as 40ft in less than 30 seconds.
Designed as per security recommendations by the US 9/11 Commission, the MMPDS technology produces no ionising radiation and can be easily integrated into critical infrastructure, ports, borders, and air and rail operations worldwide for accurate detection and deterrence of nuclear terrorist threats.

After forty years of fiction, he dreams he's in a class again, back at the beginning. The tutor doesn't show herself, as is the way with dreams. All of them must read a story, a classic that they've loved for years: Chekhov, Guy de Maupassant, Frank O'Connor, Alice Munro. They read them carefully and well, one by one, and then as if at her instruction, and almost ceremonially, strip the words away like washing and throw them in a corner.

Christian's On A Mission: @CHarrison94 Sets Up @DelrayBeachOpen Clash with Top Seed @Garin_Cris

Christian's On A Mission: Harrison Sets Up Clash with Top Seed Cristian Garin
Steve Fogleman in Delray Beach
January 9. 2021–-For years, it was young Cristian Harrison who came to Delray Beach to watch his older brother, Ryan, compete in this ATP 250 tournament tucked inside this idyllic beach town. Yesterday, as Cristian Harrison warmed up on the outer court for his first round main draw match, there were only a few fans scattered around the bleachers. Among them was Ryan Harrison, who'd been eliminated from the singles draw on the opening day of the event.
"I'm feeling good. I'm playing a lot of qualies because I don't have much of a ranking right now," the younger Harrison said after his straight sets win over Tomas Etcheverry, 6-4, 6-2. After seasons of injuries and more surgeries than you can count on one hand, he knows that court time is precious. "It's very special," he told me after the match. "Honestly, to do it in Delray just because some of my first pro tennis memories when I was 13 or 14, coming to this tournament to watch my brother play. I love it here, I love Atlantic Avenue. It sucks that we can't see it this year with everything going on. It's special to this in Florida, where I live."
After getting through the qualifying final in a tiebreak, he breezed through the first round yesterday. Harrison opened the qualifying tournament by knocking out Chile's Marcelo Barrios Vera. Today, he'll face the Open's top seed and #1 Chilean, Cristian Garin, who is currently ranked #22 in the world. "I've obviously never played him, but I've seen him a lot, in a lot of other tournaments," he told me. "I don't think we've ever practiced but he's had a lot of good results."
He expounded on his fraternal bond with Ryan. "I know how he always wanted it for me, so it sucked for him whenever I was out a lot," he said. "He could feel my pain when I couldn't play these tournaments. Now that we're getting theses chances to be in the same place, we're making the most of it."
Indeed, they made the most of it yesterday. After Christian's singles win, the pair defeated the Texas Twins—Hunter and Yates Johnson, 6-4, 7-6(2), to advance to the quarterfinals in doubles.

At the top of Craggle Hill, in a village named Appleworth, there lived a woman called Eartha and her two cats, Hazel and Wart.
Now, it was no secret to the community of Appleworth that Eartha practiced herbal medicine. The fact that she could actually do real magic was always kept secret from the world and only ever practiced behind closed doors. She was what you would call a natural witch. And natural witches, like Eartha, used the earth's resources and energy to help people who needed it. All that Appleworth knew, was that Eartha provided people with cures and remedies she'd made from the herbs and plants in her garden. You could always catch her tending to her luscious herb beds or boiling up some new concoction in her cauldron. Her door was always open to help anyone who needed it. Or at least, that's how it used to be.
One day, after a series of vandalism and taunting towards her craft, Eartha decided to close her doors to the village. They'd taken her well-meaning practice and twisted it into being dark and evil. She wasn't sure what had happened, or why the town had suddenly turned against her, but there was nothing she could do or say.
As the months passed by and the villagers' disapproval towards her skills became worse, so did the taunting. And one night, after a second fire attack, Eartha decided to take serious measures and took to the garden with a spade and began to dig.
Three and a half weeks later, after endless mud flinging and hours and hours of back-breaking hard work, she stood back and observed. She smiled. She was safe. Surrounding her property now was a twelve-foot deep and wide ditch. The only way in or out was via broom… Or so she thought.
On All Hallows' Eve, Eartha's broom is stolen right from under her nose. Who did it and how she doesn't know. But the one thing she does know is she is furious and finally ready to teach the people of Appleworth a lesson in manners.
For a witch without her broom, is a very mad witch indeed.

A synbiotic mixture developed by Danone is said to have positive effects on the gut microbiota of toddlers, according to a recent Thai study.
Earlier research has reported that by three years old, children may have an adult-like microbiome. But recent studies have suggested that this only occurs in early adulthood.
This indicates that the plasticity of the gut microbiome in early life opens up opportunities for alteration via nutritional intervention, especially since it is still developing during toddlerhood.
To investigate this, researchers at Danone Nutricia Research in Singapore and the Netherlands, as well as from several Thai universities and hospitals, conducted an RCT.
They tested Danone's Young Child Formula, supplemented with short-chain galactooligosaccharides (scGOS) and long-chain fructooligosaccharides (lcFOS), as well as Bifidobacterium breve M-16V (B. breve M-16V), on the development of faecal microbiota in toddlers.
They recruited 129 Thai children between the ages of one and three for an RCT, and assigned them to two groups: in one, each child was given active YCF, i.e., Young Child Formula with 100ml of scGOS / lcFOS and 1.8 x 107 CFU/g of B. breve M-16V for 12 weeks.
In the other group, each child was given control YCF for 12 weeks. The researchers then assessed the composition and metabolic activity of the children's faecal microbiota using their stool samples.
They reported that the consumption of active YCF raised the proportion of Bifidobacterium from 27.3% at baseline to 33.3% after 12 weeks. There was also a 7.48% difference in the change from baseline between the active YCF group and the control group.
They added that active YCF intake was "accompanied with a more acidic intestinal milieu", compared to the consumption of control YCF.
At the same time, the pH value in the active YCF group was found to have "decreased statistically significantly", from a median of 7.05 at baseline to 6.79 after 12 weeks.
They added that Bifidobacterium was considered to have an influential role in supporting healthy development in childhood, pre-adolescent and adolescent, and therefore, "the putative contribution of Bifidobacterium in shaping a resilient microbiota during development deserves further investigation".

Mike Auldridge Tribute
Celebrating the 2012 NEA National Heritage Fellowship award to dobro legend Mike Auldridge
Celebrating Mike Auldridge
IBMA Award Presentation
Mike Auldridge

Dec. 29, 2012: It is with great sadness that we report that Mike Auldridge passed away this morning, one day before his 74th birthday. We know that Mike was very touched by the tributes posted in the guest book. He said this in an interview with IBMA: " "I was amazed at how many people from around the world signed on and said the most wonderful things imaginable. I had no idea how many people I've influenced with my music over the years!"
A heartfelt thanks to each of you who posted messages in the guest book at the time of the NEA award ceremony, and to those who have posted in memoriam.
Welcome to the Mike Auldridge Tribute website, celebrating the 2012 award of the National Endowment for the Art's highest honor, the National Heritage Fellowship, to Mike Auldridge.
A major purpose of this site is to provide a place for Mike's many friends and fans to post a tribute to Mike. We hope you'll click on the Guest Book link and share your tribute: what Mike has meant to you and your music, your reflections on his contributions and influence, stories, anecdotes, or whatever you would like to share.
Visit the NEA's bio page for Mike to read more about Mike and hear sound clips of some of his music.
In 2007, the International Bluegrass Music Association presented Mike with its prestigious Distinguished Achievement Award. Visit this page to read the text of Rob Ickes' presentation of this award to Mike.

The influence Mike has wielded is incalculable. From the moment his first solo album, Dobro, was released in 1972, the very sound of the dobro was indelibly and profoundly changed. To borrow from Steve Martin's assessment of Earl Scruggs' influence on the banjo: Before Mike Auldridge, no one sounded like Mike Auldridge on the dobro. After Mike Auldridge, everyone aspired to sound like Mike Auldridge. As Rob Ickes noted in his IBMA presentation, "To this day, [Mike's] tone is the holy grail of contemporary resophonic guitar players." Rob also particularly noted how Mike stretched the boundaries of the instrument in terms of technique, musical vision and elegant taste firmly rooted in a "less is more" ethic.
Thanks for sharing your own tributes to Mike in the Guest Book, and for joining in this celebration of Mike Auldridge and his richly deserved National Heritage Fellowship.

Mike Auldridge has been named one of nine 2012 recipients of the National Endowment for the Arts' National Heritage Fellowships – the nation's highest honor in the folk and traditional arts.
The Washington Post called Auldridge "one of maybe a handful of truly innovative Dobro players in the history of country and bluegrass music." Indeed, it is no exaggeration to say that Mike Auldridge forever changed the sound of the dobro. There is the dobro before Mike, and there is the dobro after Mike, and the dividing line is unmistakeable. His influence is evident in the playing of every dobro player who has followed him, and his role as the key inspiration for the generation of dobro masters who followed him is an important element of his musical legacy.
This website celebrates Mike's enduring achievements, and the award of this prestigious fellowship to him.

DEPAUL This Week The editor was wandering around the Palace all week muttering "We've got a helluva paper this week!" It turned out he was right. THE AMERICAN NAZI party led by George Lincoln Rockwell spoke at the University of Chicago last Monday night. Bill Flanagan and Bud Stroka, DePaulia editors, went down to cover the event, were shoved around, but got some pictures and a story on the neo-Nazi leader. For many weeks, Managing Editor (Downtown) Tom Pyrdek has been researhing the American Nazi movement which still spews the venom of hatred and bigotry eighteen years after World War II and the fall of the third Reich. For the fascinating and frightening story on the young Nazi in America with pictures and a sideline on the speech last Monday night at U.C., read "It Can't Happen Here?" beginning on page 5. GIRLS DFTNK, even in the .cafeteria. Jack Dean Anderson, popular DePaulia columnist, writes on the "Noble Experiment—1963 Version" that sought to put an end to underage drinking by excluding both men and women from purchasing liquor until their 21 birthday. According to Anderson, it has brought forth another generation who thumb their noses at the liquor law and go merrily on their imbibing way with false IDs. For the story on girl drinkers, concentrating on college girls under 21, read "The Noble Experiment," on page 4. THE DEMONS GOT A BID to the National Invitational Tournament, a post season affair they were in two years ago. But this year, they should have the services of Emmet Bryant, their star guard, who has been laid up most of the season with hepatitis. For the big story on the post season bid plus the late results of the Louisville game which was played as we were making up for our press run. Plus an article on a ping pong tournament open to all DePaul students, sponsored by The DePaulia, which will begin in a few weeks. It was a big sports week and it's ably covered by the staff on page eight. FIFTY MILE HIKES are the subject of a tongue in cheek editorial on the Editorial Page. Again this week, our regular columnists are back again, in a more serious vein, with a gentle touch of irony. For comments and ideas plus a lament on the prices in the Cafeterias see pages six and seven. In terms of inches of newsprint, this is one of the biggest and, we feel, most interesting editions of the student newspaper in a long time. Nearly thirty staffers contributed 670 inches of printed copy. They agree with our muttering Editor: "Its a helluva good paper this week." DEMONS GET NIT BID Complete sports on 8 by BUD STROKA and BILL FLANAGAN "We are not Facists. We believe in private enterprise. We must work to rid America of Jews, Negroes, Communists, and homosexuals." According to George Lincoln itockwell, these people are on the verge of taking over the country the homosexuals even have a lobby in Washington. About 250 University of Chicago students and faculty were present last Monday, February 25, in Breasted Hall, 58th and University St., for Rockwell's appearance. The original plans called for an assembly in Mandel Hall, one block north on University St., but on arriving there, we were greeted by a gloomy entrance and a folding chair bearing a crude sign, "Rockwell lecture moved to Breasted Hall. The reason for moving from 1100 seat Mandel Hall to the much smaller 250 seat Breasted Hall, according to the UC student paper Maroon, was several bomb-scare calls received shortly before the meeting. However, somebody outside the meeting later suggested that it was a maneuver to exclude those hostile to the speaker.

James Stewart wrote a remarkable guide to southern Dalmatia on several pages writing about Dubrovnik, Korčula, Vis, Brač, Split and Hvar. - "In India, it takes years of meditation to reach a sublime state of bliss. In Croatia, you can do it in a week or two. All you need is sunshine, a quiet pine-scrubbed cove, perhaps a good lunch of fresh fish and wine, certainly an empty diary, and you'll achieve a deliciously indolent state the Dalmatians call "fjaka". We call it holiday nirvana".

pubsub.createTopic('my-new-topic', function(err, topic) {});

// Reference an existing topic.
var topic = pubsub.topic('my-existing-topic');

// Publish a message to the topic.
topic.publish('New message!', function(err) {});

// Subscribe to the topic.
topic.subscribe('new-subscription', function(err, subscription) {
  // Register listeners to start pulling for messages.
  function onError(err) {}
  function onMessage(message) {}
  subscription.on('error', onError);
  subscription.on('message', onMessage);

  // Remove listeners to stop pulling for messages.
  subscription.removeListener('message', onMessage);

You might think that Crocs are just for young tikes, but I have seen quite a few adults wearing them lately. One of the greatest athletes of all time, Serena Williams, was rocking Crocs in a recent Instagram video. Last week I saw a huge football player walking to class with a pair of black Crocs on his feet, better yet he was wearing socks with them. Do not think that you are too cool for these foam foot beds.
And, do not think that Jibbitz have gone by the wayside either. For those of you who do not remember Jibbitz, they are little rubber characters, or designs that fit inside of the holes on top of crocs. One of my male classmates donned a fresh pair of purple Crocs that were decorated with an assortment of Jibbitz.
My mother and father still wear their Crocs around the house. I have actually inherited a pair of my mother's first Crocs so they have become somewhat of a family heirloom. If you can take away anything from this little article let it be known that Crocs are beginning to resurface because of their functionality and fashionable qualities.
