Home › Ghost Stories
For 1-4 players, ages 12+
Wu-Feng, the Lord of the Nine Hells has found where the funeral urn containing his ashes is kept. His hordes are already marching upon the small village of the Middle Kingdom hiding them. Players are taoist priests, who will have to defend the village from the army of shadows preparing to invade it. Each of them has different special powers which will help them in this mission.
The village is represented by nine tiles, each of which illustrates a different area. Around that are placed the tiles for each player, where the ghosts will appear on their starting locations.
The players, as a group, will have to exorcise the specters which will appear as the game goes on, often faster than expected... As at the beginning of his turn, a player brings a ghost into play and places it on a free spot. And more than one can come in at the same time. There are many types of specters which will need to be sent back to hell more or less quickly, as some can haunt the village and 'destroy' tiles. If there's too many of them at a given time, the players risk losing some of their life points (Ki points).
On his turn, a priest can move on a tile in order to exorcise adjacent ghosts or to benefit from the power of the villager living on the tile.
To exorcise, he must roll three dice (the Tao dice) and end up with enough face up colors of the ghosts' color. Thankfully, one of the dice's face is a wild color which can be used as any color. To exorcise a black ghost of power 2, you need to roll three black or white (the bonus color). The players also benefit from Tao tokens which can pad out the dice roll. They gain these by entering certain village tiles, by exorcising certain ghosts or thanks to their special powers. When they are on the same tile, a priest can give Tao tokens to another priest in order to help with his exorcism.
Each tile of the village allows the players to benefit from a different bonus. The cemetary allows, for example, to bring a dead priest back to life, while the herbalist allows to recover spent Tao tokens, etc. It will also be possible to get traps or move ghosts.
The priests have three or four Ki points (depending on the difficulty level of the game). They also get a Yin-Yang token they can spend in order to make two actions in a single turn. Exorcising certain powerful ghosts allows to recover a spent Yin-Yang or Tao tokens. The special powers available to the players allow to recover Tao tokens, move more than one square or move another player, to benefit from an extra Tao die, etc. They strengthen the required collaboration by giving each priest a specialty. To win, the players must defeat the incarnation of Wu-Feng, a boss who arrives at the end of the game, once the players have been worn out by the hordes of ghosts breaking in since the beginning of the game. And if you decide to play on a harder difficulty mode, there will be many incarnations, each more dangerous than the last. The ways to lose are, of course, even more numerous. The players lose if three of the village's tiles are destroyed, if the draw pile is emptied while the incarnation of Wu-Feng is still in play, or, simply, that all the priests are dead.

Gecko helmets are built to last meaning that you can enjoy the unrivalled comfort, versatility and protection offered by the Gecko for many years. All Gecko helmets come fitted with our patented inflatable liner, providing a perfect fit every time and keeping your head warm and buoyant when you need it most.
The company was formed in 1993 by Jeff Sacree' who, when making custom surfboards for local surfers in Devon and Cornwall, developed a lightweight heat-retaining helmet for himself to prevent "ice-cream headaches". The surf helmet proved even more popular than his surfboards and so, the Gecko Head Gear story began.
Following the success of the Gecko surf helmet, in 1995 the RNLI came to Gecko Head Gear for a head protection solution to replace the motorcycle helmets that were being worn by lifeboat crews at the time. Jeff Sacree' worked closely with the RNLI to develop an open face marine safety helmet that would meet their specific requirements. Today, this open face design continues to be the helmet worn by RNLI lifeboat crews across the UK.
Gecko Head Gear now have a full range of marine safety and watersports helmets. The open face marine safety helmet is the most popular for commercial marine organisations. Alternatively, there is a cut away model for loud environments and a full face helmet for use on powerboats and jet skis.

Nashville School Board Won't Sue State for Withholding Funds
Despite one board member's push to dig in and fight, the Metro school board on Tuesday backed off its threat to sue the state for withholding $3.4 million in funds to punish the district for rejecting a charter school application, reports The Tennessean.
Board members expressed hope that the state might willingly restore the funds if the district takes a more cooperative approach instead. The school board voted 8-1 on Tuesday to defeat a motion from board member Amy Frogge to pursue litigation against the Tennessee Department of Education over the financial reprimand that followed the Metro board's repeated rejection of Great Hearts Academies' charter school proposal this summer.
Citing a looming Dec. 16 deadline to file for injunctive relief, Frogge, a Great Hearts critic, said the board's "backs are against the wall." She added: "I'm all for compromise, too, but I just feel like we're in the position now where we have to give everything."
Her eight colleagues, however, concluded that while the lost funds hurt, it wasn't worth waging a legal fight. The sentiments reflected the recommendation of Director of Schools Jesse Register, who called a lawsuit "counterproductive."

Could You Call It a Camping Tax?
GATLINBURG, Tenn. (AP) — The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is changing its backcountry reservation and permitting process.
Beginning early next year, the park will collect a $4 per person per night fee for backcountry camping.
The money collected from the fees will be used to improve customer service for backcountry trip planning, reservations and permits.
Backcountry Office hours will be expanded with additional staff available. In addition, there will be greater enforcement of issues like food storage from park rangers assigned to the backcountry.
The park will also begin allowing backcountry campers to make reservations and obtain permits online. The new website should be available within the first few months of 2013.

Harwell: Great Hearts May Help Passage of Voucher Bill
House Speaker Beth Harwell tells The City Paper that the Metro school board's high-profile Great Hearts Academies denial is motivating lawmakers to approve a plan that would allow parents to send their children to private schools on taxpayers' dime.
Parents want options, "and we didn't give them that. And consequently, where do they go next but to vouchers," Harwell told The City Paper
"If the Metropolitan school board is concerned about vouchers, then they should have been more conscientious in helping us bring in an outstanding public charter school to this state," she said.
Vouchers are otherwise known as "opportunity scholarships" and allow students to use taxpayer dollars to pay their way at private schools, including parochial schools. The idea is controversial because it would siphon money from the public school system.
Harwell said she prefers having "great charter schools across the state" than resorting to a voucher program but said she'll reserve judgement until she sees specific details of a proposal.

DCCC Upgrades Stewart; DesJarlais TV Ad Attacks Him
Republican Rep. Scott DesJarlais is slamming Democratic rival Eric Stewart on "Obamacare" in a new television ad, but the underfunded Stewart's fortunes may be in for a substantial change, reports Andy Sher.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee on Thursday switched Tennessee's 4th Congressional District to its "red to blue" category, a designation indicating Democrats think it's a winnable seat and intend to devote resources to Stewart's battle with the Jasper physician.
Stewart announced the move Thursday in an email to supporters, saying he has "more good news" after his campaign on Wednesday released an internal poll that Stewart says shows him in a "dead heat" with DesJarlais.
… DesJarlais enjoys a huge cash-on-hand advantage over Stewart, a state senator from Winchester, and is currently pounding him in television ads over what he says is Stewart's support of "Obamacare." (View the ad HERE.)
…(The ad accuses Stewart) of calling the federal Affordable Care Act "great."
"Great," a woman announcer says, "a word used to describe a quiet moment of fishing, a [UT] Vols win, a plate of barbecue. But great is how Eric Stewart describes Obamacare. Bureaucrat between patient and doctor — great. $700 billion in Medicare cuts — great. … There are a lot of great things in Tennessee, but Eric Stewart and Obamacare are not one of them."
The ad cites a Times Free Press article from this summer in which Stewart said repeal of the law would kill popular provisions such as one that fills in a gap in Medicare drug coverage for seniors known as the "doughnut hole."
Repeal, Stewart said, also would allow insurance companies to continue denying coverage to people with pre-existing medical conditions and parents wouldn't be allowed to keep their children on their plans until age 26.
"Given all those great things that are in it, no, I wouldn't vote to repeal it," Stewart said. "Now, it still needs some work. … What we need are leaders who can go up there and do the job they were sent to do and that's work together and solve the problems."

Democrats Oppose Nashville School Funding Cut
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — House Democrats are voicing their opposition to Republican Gov. Bill Haslam's administration's decision to withhold $3.4 million in state funding from Nashville because of a disputed charter school application.
The lawmakers at a news conference outside the legislative office complex in Nashville on Tuesday afternoon argued that Haslam's decision was unfair to students at city schools.
House Democratic Caucus Chairman Mike Turner said the withheld funding could be subject to a legal challenge, while fellow Nashville Democrat Mike Stewart said lawmakers didn't envision the state holding the power to demand the approval of applications when they passed a law allowing more charter schools in Tennessee last year.
Opponents of the Great Hearts Academy charter school said its proposal lacked a plan for promoting diversity.

Huffman on Charter Schools Used for 'Ghettoizing'
Long before he became Tennessee's education commissioner, Kevin Huffman penned an article on charter schools that a reader points out as interesting in light of his recent decision to withhold $3.4 million from Nashville's schools because the local school board rejected a Great Hearts Academy application.
A key reason for the Metro Nashville board's rejection of Great Hearts application was concern that it would be lacking in diversity. Huffman's 1998 article for the October, 1998, New York University Law Review focuses on the possibility of litigation over school choice legislation.
In doing so, Huffman observes that a charter school can be designed to effectively exclude enrollment of poor students, either by location, which without provisions for transportation restricts availability to those in the neighborhood, or by limiting dissemination of information on the schools to the children of "quick-acting, better-informed parents… leaving children of poor and ill-informed parents behind, consigned to suffering the deterioration of neighborhood schools."
"In such a scenario, the children of informed and quick-acting parents have a choice while those "out of the loop" have no choice at all," he writes.
Here's the article's "conclusion" section:
Charter schools will play a prominent role in public education during the coming decade. They suit the political agendas of many and hold great promise for developing innovative approaches to public education.
Charter schools have the potential to reinvigorate the public schools in districts that desperately need a boost. However, as states quickly move forward with charter school legislation, they risk establishing a process that merely provides further opportunities for well-informed families while ghettoizing the poor and uninformed.
The movement toward deregulation allows schools to exclude the neediest students, either through explicit policies or simply through lack of adequate information. .Ultimately, plaintiffs will have a difficult time showing that charter schools or state enabling acts violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment….However, state constitutions and successful school finance litigation in state courts indicate that state challenges to charter school legislation have a higher chance of success.
Most significantly, several policy changes would allow states to mandate a strong, autonomous charter school movement without depriving access to the schools. Greater state oversight of admissions policies and dissemination of information would close potential avenues of litigation while maintaining the legitimacy of charter schools.
These changes would add some costs to charter school legislation, but they would ultimately allow charter schools to reach greater numbers of at-risk students.
It would be a terrible waste of resources if charter schools were consistently tied up in litigation. It would be an even greater waste, though, if the charter school movement failed to reach the neediest public school students.
Meanwhile, Joey Garrison has written a detailed analysis of people and politics involved in the Great Hearts flap.

Haslam Acknowledges State Penalty Could Impact Children
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Republican Gov. Bill Haslam acknowledged Wednesday that a $3.4 million fine on Nashville's public school system will affect students, but insisted that the fault lies with school board members who refused to approve a charter school.
The state Education Department has characterized the withheld funding as targeting administrative functions of the school system, not classroom instruction. But the school system has responded that the money goes to a variety of operations ranging from transportation to maintenance — each of which have an effect on students.
The governor didn't argue with those claims when he met with reporters after a groundbreaking ceremony for an expansion of a Bank of New York Mellon Corp. processing center in Nashville.
"Obviously everything in a school system is ultimately for the benefit of a child, every administrative assistant in the central building, etc.," he said. "So ultimately that's right. And that's why Metro's decision to do that was harmful."

Nashville Schools Lose $3.4M in State Funding for Rejecting Charter School
By Erik Schelzig, Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The state Department of Education announced Tuesday it will withhold $3.4 million from the public school system in Nashville over a rejected charter school application.
The Metro Nashville school board last week defied an order by the state Board of Education to approve the school proposed by Phoenix-based Great Hearts Academies. The fine is the equivalent of one month worth of the school district's administrative costs, or about 1.4 percent of the $236 million the city's school system receives annually under the state funding formula.
"This was not a decision that anybody in the state takes any pleasure in, but we also think that we are a state of laws," Republican Gov. Bill Haslam told reporters.
"We can't just stand back," he said.

New Notion: Too Much Local Control Over Schools
Republicans who laud government that stays close to the people are finding themselves in a pickle now that a local school board has bucked state law, according to TNReport.
Metro Nashville Public Schools' Board of Education ignored orders by the Tennessee Board of Education to usher the charter school Great Hearts Academies into the district last week — the second such rebuff in a month. The Metro schools board contends that the first of five schools, run by a Phoenix-based charter school operator, would lack diversity and pander to an affluent Nashville neighborhood.
The Great Hearts dispute has exposed Republican leaders to criticism that they espouse local control only when it suits their aims.
"This whole thing just flies in the face of Republican philosophy when you have the big bad state coming down telling the local school board they have to comply with the law," said Jerry Winters, a lobbyist with the Tennessee Education Association, the state's largest teachers union, which has been resistant to the emergence of school choice.
Charter schools have enjoyed favorable treatment at the hands of GOP Gov. Bill Haslam and his education department. The administration's agenda for reform has included tougher standards for teacher tenure, tying teacher evaluations to test scores and an expansion of charter schools.
Metro schools' refusal to grant Great Hearts permission to open a school has sparked statewide debate over whether local approval is best. Great Hearts announced that it would not challenge the Metro schools' decision.
"It's really been kind of shocking to watch a government openly acknowledge and violate the law," said Matt Throckmorton, executive director of the Tennessee Charter Schools Association.
Disgusted by the ongoing feud, Throckmorton and other charter school advocates are pushing for the state to assemble an outside agency to review and approve charter school applications, allowing charter operators to leap-frog over the local school district.
…Republican legislative leaders who have repeatedly offered messages about the importance of local control hint that they'd be open to a plan giving the state more power.
"I am extremely dismayed that the Nashville School Board is focused on limiting parental choice and educational opportunity for children," Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey told TNReport in an email. "It is unfortunate that the board seems mired in the old education politics while the rest of the state is moving forward."
House Speaker Beth Harwell agreed, calling the decision by MNPS "simply a mistake for our children" and saying the Legislature "will revisit this issue" when they come back in January.
"We believe in local government and local school boards. But when they don't give opportunities for our children, then that's a problem," she said.

Great Hearts Charter School Gives Up on Nashville (for now)
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — An Arizona-based charter school company says it won't try to place schools in Tennessee until the state creates a more impartial charter school approval process.
The statement came from Great Hearts Academies on Wednesday after the Metro Nashville school board denied the company's application for a third time.
School board members said they were concerned that a Great Hearts Academy would draw from affluent white families, rather than bringing in students from other parts of the city to create a more diverse student body.
Great Hearts said it might reapply "when Tennessee's laws and charter approval process more effectively provide for open enrollment, broad service to the community and impartial authorizers," according to The Tennessean (http://tnne.ws/Q4UANe).

Q: Euler's Method Global Error: How to calculate $C_1$ if $error = C_1 h$ My textbook claims that, for small step size $h$, Euler's method has a global error which is at most proportional to $h$ such that error $= C_1h$. It is then claimed that $C_1$ depends on the initial value problem, but no explanation is given as to how one finds $C_1$.
So if I know $h$, then how can I deduce $C_1$ from the IVP?

A: Given an IVP:
$$\frac{dy}{dt}=f(t,y), y(a)=y_0, t\in [a,b].$$
Here is a Theorem from Numerical Analysis by Sauer:

Assume that $f(t,y)$ has a Lipschitz constant $L$ for the variable $y$ and that the solution $y_i$ of the initial value problem at $t_i$ is approximated by $w_i$, using Euler's method. Let $M$ be an upper bound for $|y''(t)|$ on $[a,b]$. Then $$|w_i-y_i|\le \frac{Mh}{2L}(e^{L(t_i-a)}-1).$$

The proof is based on the following lemma:

Assume that $f(t,y)$ is Lipschitz in the variable $y$ on the set $S=[a,b]\times [\alpha,\beta]$. If $Y(t)$ and $Z(t)$ are solutions in $S$ of the differential equation $y'=f(t,y)$ with initial conditions $Y(a)$ and $Z(a)$ respectively, then $$|Y(t)-Z(t)|\le e^{L(t-a)}|Y(a)-Z(a)|.$$

Sketch of proof of the first theorem:
Let $g_i$ be the global error, $e_i$ be the local truncation error, $z_i$ satisfy the local IVP:
$$z_i'=f(t,z_i),z_i(t_i)=w_i, t\in [t_i,t_{i+1}].$$
Then
$$g_i=|w_i-y_i|=|w_i-z_i(t)+z_i(t)-y_i|\le |w_i-z_i(t)|+|z_i(t)-y_i|\\
\le e_i+e^{Lh}g_{i-1}\\
\le e_i+e^{Lh}(e_{i-1}+e^{Lh}g_{i-2})\le \cdots\\
\le e_i+e^{Lh}e_{i-1}+e^{2Lh}e_{i-2}+\cdots +e^{(i-1)Lh}e_1.$$
Since each $e_i\le \frac{h^2M}{2}$, we have
$$g_i\le \frac{h^2M}{2}(1+e^{Lh}+\cdots+e^{(i-1)Lh})=\frac{h^2M(e^{iLh}-1)}{2(e^{Lh}-1)}\le \frac{Mh}{2L}(e^{L(t_i-a)}-1).$$
Hope this helps.

A: Consider the IVP $y'=f(t,y)$, $y(t_0)=y_0$. Let $t_k=t_0+kh$, $y_k$ computed by the Euler method. We know that the error order of the Euler method is one. Thus the iterates $y_k$ have an error relative to the exact solution $y(t)$ of the form $$y_k=y(t_k)+c_kh$$ with some coefficients $c_k$ that will be closer determined in the course of this answer.

Now insert this representation of $y_k$ into the Euler step and apply Taylor expansion where appropriate
\begin{align}
[y(t_{k+1})+c_{k+1}h]&=[y(t_k)+c_kh]+hf(t_k,[y(t_k)+c_kh])\\
&=y(t_k)+c_kh+h\Bigl(f(t_k,y(t_k))+h\,∂_yf(t_k,y(t_k))\,c_k+O(h^2)\Bigr)\\
y(t_k)+hy'(t_k)+\tfrac12h^2y''(t_k)+O(h^3)&=y(t_k)+hy'(t_k)+h\Bigl[c_k+h\,∂_yf(t_k,y(t_k))\,c_k\Bigr]
\end{align}
where $∂_y=\frac{\partial}{\partial y}$ and later $∂_t=\frac{\partial}{\partial t}$.

In the Taylor series for $y(t_{k+1})=y(t_k+h)$ on the left side the first two terms cancel against the same terms on the right side. The second derivative can be written as
$$
y''(t)=\frac{d}{dt}f(t,y(t))
=∂_tf(t,y(t))+∂_yf(t,y(t))\,f(t,y(t))
\overset{\rm Def}=Df(t,y(t)).
$$
Divide the remaining equation by $h$ and re-arrange to get a difference equation for $c_k$
$$
c_{k+1}=c_k+h\Bigl[∂_yf(t_k,y(t_k))c_k-\tfrac12Df(t_k,y(t_k))\Bigr]+O(h^2).
$$

This looks like the Euler method for the linear ODE for a continuous differentiable function $c$,
$$
c'(t)=∂_yf(t,y(t))c(t)-\tfrac12Df(t,y(t)),~~\text{ with }~~c(t_0)=0.
$$
Again by the first order of the Euler method, $c_k$ and $c(t_k)$ will have a difference $O(h)$, so that the error we aim to estimate is
$$y_k-y(t_k)=c(t_k)h+O(h^2).$$

Now if $L$ is a bound for $∂_yf$, the $y$-Lipschitz constant, and $M$ is a bound for $Df=∂_tf+∂_yf\,f$, or the second derivative, then by Grönwall's lemma
$$
\|c'\|\le L\|c\|+\frac12M\implies \|c(t)\|\le \frac{M(e^{L|t-t_0|}-1)}{2L}
$$
which reproduces the usual specific estimate of the coefficient of the error term.

Pesticides in Kids Linked to ADHD
Home Organic Food Pesticides in Kids Linked to ADHD
By Citizens For Health Organic Food May 17, 2010
By JoNel Aleccia, Health writer via www.msnbc.com
Exposure to pesticides used on common kid-friendly foods — including frozen blueberries, fresh strawberries and celery — appears to boost the chances that children will be diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, new research shows.
Youngsters with high levels of pesticide residue in their urine, particularly from widely used types of insecticide such as malathion, were more likely to have ADHD, the behavior disorder that often disrupts school and social life, scientists in the United States and Canada found.
Kids with higher-than-average levels of one pesticide marker were nearly twice as likely to be diagnosed with ADHD as children who showed no traces of the poison.
"I think it's fairly significant. A doubling is a strong effect," said Maryse F. Bouchard, a researcher at the University of Montreal in Quebec and lead author of the study published Monday in the journal Pediatrics.
The take-home message for parents, according to Bouchard: "I would say buy organic as much as possible," she said. "I would also recommend washing fruits and vegetables as much as possible."
Diet is a major source of pesticide exposure in children, according to the National Academy of Sciences, and much of that exposure comes from favorite fruits and vegetables. In 2008, detectable concentrations of malathion were found in 28 percent of frozen blueberry samples, 25 percent of fresh strawberry samples and 19 percent of celery samples, a government report found.
ADHD affects 4.5 million U.S. kids
Bouchard's study is the largest to date to look at the effect of pesticides on child development and behavior, including ADHD, which affects an estimated 4.5 million U.S. children. About 2.5 million kids take medication for the condition, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Bouchard and her colleagues measured levels of six pesticide metabolites in the urine of 1,139 children ages 8 to 15 selected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 2000 and 2004. The study included 119 children who were diagnosed with ADHD.
Unlike other studies of pesticides' impact, Bouchard's sample provided a glimpse into average insecticide exposure in the general population of children, not a specialized group, such as children of farmworkers. Because certain pesticides leave the body after three to six days, the presence of residue shows that exposure is likely constant, Bouchard said.
She found that kids with a 10-fold increase in the kind of metabolites left in the body after malathion exposure were 55 percent more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD. Because the researchers didn't review the kids' diets, they couldn't say why some children had such high levels of pesticide residue. Children are at greater risk from pesticides because their young bodies are still developing and may not metabolize chemicals as well as adults'.
The most alarming finding was a near-doubling in odds of ADHD diagnoses among kids with higher-than-average levels of the most common of the six metabolites detected. Kids with high levels of dimethyl thiophosphate were 93 percent more likely to have the disorder than children with with undetectable levels of the marker.
The research may add to anxiety about ADHD, which has no known cause, said Dr. Andrew Adesman, chief of developmental and behavioral pediatrics at the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Children's Medical Center of New York.
"It does seem to suggest that at non-extreme or more typical levels, there does seem to be some increased risk," said Adesman, who is on the professional advisory board for Children and Adults with ADHD, an advocacy group.
Pesticides prey on nervous system
Boucher studied organophosphate pesticides, which account for as much as 70 percent of the pesticide use in the U.S. They work by interfering with the nervous systems of insects, but have a similar effect in mammals, including humans. Most people in the U.S. have residues of the products in their urine.
Cheminova, the Danish firm that is the leading manufacturer of malathion in the world, declined to comment on the conclusions of the new research. Diane Allemang, vice president for global regulatory affairs, said she hadn't seen the study.
Parents of children with ADHD, however, said Bouchard's work will give them one more than thing to worry about.
"We're all completely obsessed with food," said Jamie Norman, 32, of Freeburg, Ill., whose 6-year-old son, Aidan, was diagnosed with ADHD six months ago.
The stimulant medication Aidan takes, Adderall XR, depresses his appetite, so Norman said she's always trying to find good foods that he'll want to eat. Other parents of kids with ADHD choose to use diet, not medication, to control the disorder and they're constantly monitoring food, too.
News that some of the best foods for kids might be tainted with something linked to ADHD is worrisome, Norman said.
"I've known for some time that strawberries, in particular, contain high levels of pesticide, but as far as frozen fruit, I don't give that a second thought," she said.
Neurotoxins when taken at low doses daily will cause Brain damage and consequently, chronic disease…….www. comprehensiveneurtoxinresearch.com.
Government/EPA insists on not banning these poisons and loves to slowly cause disease in us so they can capitalize on disease, to foot their gov. healthcare, medicare, medicaid, private big corporations, from having to dump their industrial toxic wastes products in safe receptles…….no they would rather make money on us and dump them into the human bodies…….
Pesticides in GMO seeds, yes,
Fluorsilicic Acid in your tap water, and 270 other products, including prescription medicines, anesthesia, soda pop, juices, rat poison, yes,
Aspartame in 6000 food products , yes……
Thanks for sharing your info. I truly appreciate your efforts and I am waiting for your
further write ups thank you once again.

So Saturday I went into London, always so exciting! I live around an hour away from London yet I still barely visit there, such a tragedy because I love shopping there. I wish I could go to Oxford Street more often because it's literally my shopping haven, all my favourite shops from my usual town enlarged! Unfortunately we couldn't go shopping at all yesterday because my family were celebrating my mum's graduation ceremony at The Barbican exhibition centre, for her chemistry degree. I was so proud of her for her massive achievement, she's almost superwoman!
I think London is just so different to most places in England, this may be because I'm from a not that busy place in the South East, therefore London traffic seems like an absolute nightmare compared. My main point being I need need need to go shopping there soon my god. All was not lost however; we stopped off in Staines on the way, never been there before but it was quite cute and had plenty of shops!
I finally got round to buying some heat protection spray by TRESemmé, albeit the handbag version, was not gonna buy the massive one to then find out it's rubbish! I also bought L'Oreal Elvive Triple Resist Reinforcing Treatment, feeling a little sceptical as I haven't really used leave in treatments before but it hopefully makes a difference my hair has been a nightmare as of late.

Q: How to take data from aspx page to stored procedure? I have to create an RDLC report in asp.net. For which I am writing a stored procedure using different scalar functions.
I have a GUI from which I have to select a criteria and collect data according to that criteria. The GUI is here:

I have implemented all cases like "All Staff", "All services", etc but the problem comes when I have to select specific records from list box and bring data according to that. For example I select specfic Staff records from list and my report should display the records only having that selected records.
How can I handle this? I mean when I select some records from listbox, how can I take these records to the where clause of my stored procedure and how to use it there?
I am using SQL SERVER 2008.
My Stored Procedure is:
USE [PC_Rewrite]

GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[spGetClients]
(
    @orderBy varchar(50)
)
AS
BEGIN
    -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
    -- interfering with SELECT statements.
    SET NOCOUNT ON;
-- Insert statements for procedure here
IF(@orderBy = 'Consumer Name')
BEGIN
    SELECT c.Id, c.LastName, c.FirstName, c.MiddleInit,
    c.DateOfBirth, dbo.GetAge(c.DateOfBirth, GETDATE()) AS Age, c.Sex, cs.Status, ca.Address, co.Phone,
    dbo.GetEthnicity(c.Id) AS Ethnicity, dbo.GetDevelopmentalDisabilities(c.Id) AS Disabilities,
    dbo.GetClientStaffContacts(c.Id) AS Staff, dbo.GetClientContacts(c.Id) AS Contact,
    dbo.GetClientInsuranceProviders(c.Id) AS InsuranceProvider FROM Client c
    LEFT OUTER JOIN ClientStatus cs ON cs.Id = c.StatusId
    LEFT OUTER JOIN(
        SELECT ca.ParentEntityId, ca.Address
        FROM ContactAddress ca
        INNER JOIN EntityName en ON en.Id = ca.EntityNameId AND en.Name = 'Client'
        INNER JOIN GeneralLookup gl ON ca.glAddressTypeId = gl.Id AND gl.LookupItem = 'Primary'
    ) ca ON c.Id = ca.ParentEntityId
    LEFT OUTER JOIN(
        SELECT co.ParentEntityId, co.ContactData Phone
        FROM ContactOther co
        INNER JOIN EntityName en ON en.Id = co.EntityNameId AND en.Name = 'Client'
        INNER JOIN GeneralLookup gl ON co.glContactTypeId = gl.Id AND gl.LookupItem = 'Home'
    ) co ON c.Id = co.ParentEntityId
    ORDER BY c.LastName, c.FirstName, c.MiddleInit
END

ELSE IF(@orderBy = 'Consumer Address')
BEGIN
    SELECT c.Id, c.LastName, c.FirstName, c.MiddleInit,

END

END
Any help would be appreciated.

A: if your stored procedure looks something like this:
Create PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp]
@ID int
AS
BEGIN
    Select ID, Display, GroupID
    From SystemTypes
    Where ID = @ID
END

then you can set the ID parameter like this:
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("sp",connection);
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
Command.Parameters.Add("@ID, SqlDbType.Int).Value = **VALUE**;
conn.open();

SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader();

if you want to use something like a comma seperated values string.. I found this link:
http://www.outsightinteractive.com/blog/comma_delimited_list_as_stored_procedure_parameter
https://web.archive.org/web/20211020153409/https://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/031004-1.shtml
Passing List<> to SQL Stored Procedure

A: Does your stored procedure already exist?  If so, are there parameters you have to use?  Are you free to change the stored procedure as you see fit?
There are a number of options on how you can call the stored procedure.  Here are two: you can create an SqlCommand object and set it to use the stored procedure, then create SqlParameters for the various clauses in your where clause.  Eg A parameter for each of the options on your shown screen.  In the case of the list box, you may pass in a comma delimitered string but that depends on your db schema.
Another method is to use Linq To Sql and drag-drop the sproc onto the designer and have it create a method for you, then call it with the method parameters generated.
Sorry to not be more specific but it is affected by how stored procedure works.

A: i think you want to pass your search criteria to your store procedure right?
use something like this..
//in code behind
CommandType.StoredProcedure;
//pass each parameter for your criteria like below
Command.Parameters.Add("@ID, SqlDbType.string).Value = staff;
Command.Parameters.Add("@ID, SqlDbType.string).Value = service;
//now in the store procedure
declare sql as varchar(200)
set sql = "select * from tablename"
//check parameters are blank or has a value
if(@paraname1 != "")
    set sql = sql + "where...parameter1";
end if
if(@paraname2 != "")
    set sql = sql + "where...parameter2";
end if

this is what you were looking for?

A: set  @query = 'select Resume.ResumeID,Resume.Name,Resume.DepartmentID,Department.DepartmentName,
        Resume.CurrentCompany ,Resume.CurrentLocation ,Resume.Phone,Resume.Email,
        Resume.KeySkills,Resume.TotalExpYears,Resume.TotalExpMonths,Resume.CandidateTextResume,Resume.ResumeStatus,
        Resume.IsActive from [Resume] inner join [Department]  on [Resume].DepartmentID=[Department].DepartmentID  where [Resume].IsActive =1 '
if(@DepartmentName != '')
begin
        select  @query = @query + ' And [Department].DepartmentName like ''%'  + @DepartmentName + '%'''
end

if(@TotalExpYears != '')
begin
        select  @query = @query + ' And TotalExpYears like ''%'  + @TotalExpYears + '%'''
end

if(@TotalExpMonths != '')
begin
        select  @query = @query + ' And TotalExpMonths like ''%'  + @TotalExpMonths + '%'''
end

if(@KeySkills != '')
begin
        select  @query = @query + ' And KeySkills like ''%'  + @KeySkills + '%'''
end

if(@CurrentLocation != '')
begin
        select  @query = @query + ' And CurrentLocation like ''%'  + @CurrentLocation + '%'''
end

if(@CandidateTextResume != '')
begin
        select  @query = @query + ' And CandidateTextResume like ''%'  + @CandidateTextResume + '%'''
end

if(@CurrentCompany != '')
begin
        select  @query = @query + ' And CurrentCompany like ''%'  + @CurrentCompany + '%'''
end
if(@ResumeStatus != '')
begin
    select  @query = @query + ' And ResumeStatus like ''%'  + @ResumeStatus + '%'''
end

==============
@strId as varchar(100)//strId is comma seperated ids
'select * FROM tblSchool where intSchoolId IN ('+ @strId +')'
=================
Now is it fine?


A live performance of the 2016 Tony-nominated revival. She Loves Me is a euphoric romantic comedy with a soaring score. Amalia and Georg work together at a modest Hungarian parfurmerie, and have disliked each other from the very beginning. He thinks she's stuck up, and she thinks he's arrogant and mean. But each rapturously writes to a lonely hearts pen pal when the work day is done, and it doesn't take long for the audience to see that they're in love without realizing it. Inevitably through some of the most iconic songs in the musical theatre canon (Vanilla Ice Cream, She Loves Me, Will He Like Me?), Georg and Amalia discover the truth as well and rejoice in their love for each other at the story's sweet and musically delightful conclusion.


Industry, academia, and research alike are grappling with the opportunities that Big Data brings in the ability to analyze data from numerous sources for insight, decision making, and predictive forecasts. The analysis workflows for dealing with such volumes of data are said to be large scale data-intensive computations (DICs). Data-intensive computation frameworks, also known as Big Data processing frameworks, carry out both online and offline processing. Big Data analysis workflows frequently consist of multiple steps: data cleaning, joining data from different sources and applying processing algorithms. Critically today the steps of a given workflow may be performed with different processing frameworks simultaneously, complicating the lifecycle of the data products that go through the workflow. This is particularly the case in emerging Big Data management solutions like Data Lakes in which data from multiple sources are stored in a shared storage solution and analyzed for different purposes at different points of time. In such an environment, accessibility and traceability of data products are known to be hard to achieve. Data provenance, or data lineage, leads to a good solution for this problem as it provides the derivation history of a data product and helps in monitoring, debugging and reproducing computations. Our initial research produced a provenance-based reference architecture and a prototype implementation to achieve better traceability and management. Experiments show that the size of fine-grained provenance collected from data-intensive computations can be several times larger than the original data itself, creating a Big Data problem referred to in the literature "Big Provenance". Storing and managing Big Provenance for later analysis is not be feasible for some data-intensive applications due to high resource consumption. In addition to that, not all provenance is equally valuable and can be summarized without loss of critical information. In this thesis, I apply stream processing techniques to analyze streams of provenance captured from data-intensive computations. The specific contributions are several. First, a provenance model which includes formal definitions for provenance stream, forward provenance and backward provenance in the context of data-intensive computations. Second, a stateful, one-pass, parallel stream processing algorithm to summarize a full provenance stream on-the-fly by preserving backward provenance and forward provenance. The algorithm is resilient to provenance events arriving out-of-order. Multiple provenance stream partitioning strategies: horizontal, vertical, and random for provenance emerging from data-intensive computations are also presented. A provenance stream processing architecture is developed to apply the proposed parallel streaming algorithm on a stream of provenance arriving through a distributed log store. The solution is evaluated using Apache Kafka log store, Apache Flink stream processing system, and the Komadu provenance capture service. Provenance identity, archival and reproducibility use a persistent ID (PID)-based approach.

Shahindocht Molaverdi (; * 23. Oktober 1965 in Choi, West-Aserbaidschan) ist eine iranische Juristin und Politikerin. Während der ersten Amtszeit von Präsident Hassan Rohani von 2013 bis 2017 war sie Vizepräsidentin im Ressort Frauen und Familie; nach Rohanis Wiederwahl 2017 wurde sie seine Sonderberaterin für Bürgerrechtsfragen.

Molaverdi studierte Rechtswissenschaften an den Teheraner Hochschulen Schahid-Beheschti-Universität mit Abschluss 1988 und an der Allameh-Tabatabai-Universität mit Abschluss 1999 in Völkerrecht. Politisch ist sie Mitglied der Partizipationsfront des islamischen Iran. Sie gilt als moderate Reformpolitikerin, die sich für Frauenrechte, u. a. im Sport, einsetzt.

Molaverdi wurde im Februar 2015 als zweite ranghohe iranische Politikerin seit der Islamischen Revolution im Vatikan von Papst Franziskus empfangen. Vor ihr war es der damalige Präsident Mohammad Chatami, den 1999 Papst Johannes Paul II. empfing.

Sie ist bekannt für freimütige Äußerungen in der Öffentlichkeit. Unter anderem verurteilte sie Übergriffe der Polizei gegenüber Frauen, denen vorgeworfen wurde, ihr Kopftuch zu offen zu tragen, und verlangte Zugang für Frauen zu sportlichen Veranstaltungen. Sie erklärte, Bekannte von ihr, die sich für Frauenrechte eingesetzt hätten, seien von Sicherheitskräften ihres Landes verhaftet worden. Weiterhin beklagte sie eine "vollständige Fehlkoordination" zwischen der zivilen Regierung des Iran und dessen Justiz, die wie die Medien und die Sicherheitskräfte als von politischen Hardlinern des konservativen politischen Lagers der Islamischen Republik beherrscht gelten.

Dass sie nach den Präsidentenwahlen 2017 nicht erneut Vizepräsidentin wurde, galt politischen Beobachtern im Iran als Reaktion Rohanis auf Kritik aus dem konservativen Lager an Molaverdis Äußerungen zu Frauenrechten und anderen Themen.

Python performance of tflite is much better than C++.
When number of threads is set to -1, Not getting best performance in C++.
Manual setting the number of threads to max is giving improvement in C++ API performance and still it is very lower than python.
As per this github tensorflow issue(#46272) It is mentioned,when number of threads in c++ are set to -1, all threads will be used, But its not happening and there is performance difference.
Performance is not modified proportionately based on the threads.
Suppose when threads are set to 2, we are not getting 2x performance than threads as 1
Describe the expected behavior :
Match the performance of python with C++.
Give an API or directly automate the setting the threads without manual change.
What is the backend used for python and C++ ? Are they same ?
Can we expect the performance proportionately based on the threads.
Suppose when threads are set to 2, can we expect 2x performance than 1 thread ?
Standalone code to reproduce the issue :
Python TFlite--
python3 tfliteversionprofile_latest_singleiteration.py

2.8.0
Time elapsed during the process:%d ms 99.971158
python3 tfliteversionprofile_latest_singleiteration_multicores.py

.2.8.0
Time elapsed during the process:%d ms 85.076159
There is clear change in performance when number of threads are set to max.
My cpu has 6 cores and 2 threads per core, so set to 12.
C++ TFlite--
But when c++ API is used there is huge impact in performance , Using example label image.

Get to Know: Niraj Antani, Ohio State Representative
by thearpan | Feb 2, 2017 | Articles |
Indians and Indian Americans have long been known for their success across a wide range of fields in the United States. Amruta Houde and Niraj Antani are two young Indian Americans making a mark and paving the way for others to join them in their quest to serve and positively impact their community.
Learn more about what drives these impressive individuals to serve their communities.
Get to Know:
Niraj Antani,
Ohio State Representative
By Rina Shah, The Arpan Group
At the age of 23, Niraj Antani became the youngest serving member in the Ohio House of Representatives. Born and raised in Miami Township, Ohio, Antani remained in state and earned a Bachelor's degree from The Ohio State University. Now 25, Antani (R – Ohio House District 42) is poised to be an influential force in politics. Recognized by in 2015 by Forbes Magazine, Antani is on the list of top "30 Under 30" people in the United States for Law & Politics.
The young Indian American began his foray into politics first as an intern for his congressman at the age of 16. During college, Antani participated in The Washington Leadership Program (WLP), an eight-week leadership program based in Washington, DC, where young South Asian Americans are exposed to the South Asian American political Diaspora. The opportunity to meet with and learn more about the political process from leading community figures paved the way for Antani to become a changemaker of his own right.
Learn more about how Antani got his start in politics as well as how his Indian American background influences his work ethic.
Why politics? What inspired you to pursue a career in public service?
I have been involved in politics since I was 16, interning for my congressman. Through politics, and being an elected official, we can make large change for the benefit of our community. I want to be a voice for my community, for my generation.
How has your experience as an Indian American shaped your career and values?
The Indian-American culture has taught me the values that I hold most dear. Hard work, perseverance, independence, among others. It is through these qualities that I have been able to succeed in politics.
Who has played a crucial role in influencing the events of your life? How so?
There have been a lot of people who have influenced me. Harin Contractor, who runs the South Asian American internship program in DC, the Washington Leadership Program, first connected me to the Indian American political community. Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and her staff gave me the confidence I needed to succeed. Congressman Turner and his staff gave me my start. Scott Jennings and the Romney campaign gave me the grounding and skills I need to thrive in politics.
Increasingly today, younger generations in the South Asian community are choosing "non-traditional" careers. What words of wisdom do you have for those, particularly those who aspire to a career in public service?
We need voices who will fight for our generation of Indian Americans. Our parents immigrated here and built successful lives. Now, we need a seat at the table to advance our community to the next level. I'm proud to be the youngest Indian American elected official in the country, but we need more to get involved.

Talks are formatted for various times, from 1 hour to 6 hours. Contact Madelon for info regarding details and fees.
BIBLICAL OVERVIEWS
Bible Overview: Sweeping through the Scriptures
This talk is intended to provide a context for more detailed topics that follow and serve as a general introduction to the Bible for older Sunday School attendants as well as teachers. It provides the listener with a sense of the order of events as they unfolded from the beginning of the Patriarchs in 1900 B.C. to the close of the New Testament at the end of the 1st century A.D. with Paul and his followers. The Law, Patriarchs, prophets, the writings and poetry of the Old Testament are described, including captivity. Then the role of Jesus, the Gospels and John, the beginning of the early Church, under Paul's missionary leadership, are also reviewed. Maps are used in a PowerPoint presentation to orient participants. (Time: 1.5 – 2 hours)
Overview of the Old Testament
A brief overview of the Law, Prophets and Writings of the Hebrew Bible. This can be as an introduction to a specific book of the Old Testament, or to help set the context for the New Testament, identifying the main themes of the Hebrew Scriptures as well as the historical overview of the Patriarchs, Exodus, settlement of Canaan, the Judges, rise of the Monarchy, uniting of the 12 tribes into one kingdom, splitting of the kingdom, invasion by foreign armies, the Exile, the return to Israel and the inter-testament period prior to Jesus and the Christian era.
Overview of the Gospels and Acts
Although an overview talk, this goes into more depth than the total Biblical overview talk cited above. Each Gospel is explored, their authorship, circumstances, objectives, audiences, historical issues. What were the authors trying to accomplish? How did the early Churches use these early documents? Helpful for those teaching Sunday School as well as older students (12 and above).
Deuteronomy: Pinnacle of the Exodus
Learn about this magnificent Old Testament book attributed to Moses and quoted so often by Jesus. What is the significance of this fifth book of the Pentateuch to us today? With similar material to the book of Exodus, why was it written and remain in the Canon? Was it the first "Association address"? Learn about its history, structure, authorship and relevance to the 21st century. Again, if participants can read the book's 34 chapters prior to the talk, it will mean much more.
The Old Testament Prophets
This is intended to help participants distinguish between each of the major prophets and some of the minor ones. Their backgrounds, historical circumstances, relevancy to our day, key messages, success in communicating their messages, major obstacles.
Jonah: Prophet with an Attitude
Learn more about this 'whale of a tale' and its deeper layers of a teaching about the role of a prophet. Who was Jonah? What was the author trying to convey? How does he stack up with other Old Testament characters? Learn about the historical trends that make the story relevant to today, as well as how to mine its brief four chapters for various levels of Sunday School students.
Amos: Prophet of Social and Divine Justice
Amos is one of the shortest prophetic books of the Hebrew Bible but a tremendous look into the historical, sociological, religious, political context of much of the Hebrew Bible. His warnings to leaders of the consequences of disobedience, his stern demeanor and great care show the range of Amos editors over three centuries, revealing distinct views of God.
The Women of Mark's Gospel
Who were these women the first Gospel writer referred to and why them in particular? Do they represent qualities that can teach us about our own receptivity to healing? What does this shortest of all Gospels tell us about Jesus' attitude toward his female followers? You will learn about the social customs and historical context of the first century A.D, as well as the women who figure predominantly—by name or unnamed—throughout this Gospel. The talk's purpose is to point the listener back to the Gospel for re-reading with new attention paid to the juxtaposition of stories; questioning why this particular character's experience was included; why in this order; what their relationship is to each other, if any. The message will be more meaningful if participants can reread the Gospel of Mark prior to attending, and if possible, in one sitting.
John: The Gospel's Unique Christ Focus
Unlike the other 3 Gospels, John is not considered one of the synoptic gospels but unique in its approach to the life of Christ Jesus. Containing no parables or teachings like the Beatitudes, its author focuses much more on the identity and nature of Christ, making it 'the spiritual gospel', as people have described it for centuries. We'll look in depth at its structure, its seven "I AM" statements and the teaching discourses that go with them. We'll see how its telling of the Passion story is so distinct from the other gospels and what its author might be trying to convey that is so relevant to our lives today.
Learning from Luke: God's Universal Embrace of Humanity
The author of Luke and his 2nd volume, Acts, are responsible for almost ¼ of the New Testament. Performing the dual functions of historian and theologian, Luke's great story-telling faculties provide some of the Bible's most well-known and well-loved stories of The Good Samaritan, The Prodigal Son, Lazarus and Dives, and many more. With his eye cast outward at the growing Gentile interest in Jesus' life and work, Luke provides us a sense of Jesus' universal and inclusive message of God's great love for all mankind.
Paul: Leader of the 1st and 21st Centuries
For three decades he was the fire that launched Christianity throughout the Roman world. Second only to Jesus in the spread of Christianity, do we understand and honor him as we could? You will learn more about the first century he lived in, his background, his method of spreading the good news, the compatriots and resisters in his path, and his own spiritual learning curve revealed in the progression from Thessalonians to Romans. The talk will provide historical context for understanding Paul's remarks about women as well. Any reading of his letters prior to the talk will be most useful.
Paul's Letter to the Galatians
This is a deep dive into one of the seven of Paul's letters, exploring the relationship of Paul to the early converts in the area of Galatia, in today's Turkey. The issues Paul faced were at the core of the challenges to many of the new Gentile converts to "followers of the Way" – did they have to come into Christianity through the door of Judaism, as the Judaizers insisted, or were they saved by grace, as Paul described salvation.
Celebrating the Bible
General background about the King James Bible and its role as a primary teacher worldwide, including history of how it came to be formed, including multiple translations prior to its creation in 17th century England. Includes Bible study tools, including both print and electronic. Good for National Bible Week. It can include a very brief historical overview of both Old and New Testaments. Directed toward newer Bible students or for the public.

Emerging infectious diseases such as the Zika virus and multi-drug resistant infections are reminders that infectious diseases are anything but historical footnotes.
Although some infectious diseases have been controlled or never were problems in high-income regions, some infectious diseases have remained endemic in tropical and subtropical areas. These diseases extract crushing burdens on health, education and economic sectors. As prevalent as tuberculosis, malaria and intestinal parasites are globally, few domestic medical laboratory scientists ever report positive test results for these diseases.
In 2017, MSU faculty members Frances Pouch Downes, a professor with a joint appointment in Biomedical Laboratory Diagnostics and the Division of Public Health, and Karl Seydel, an assistant professor in the College of Osteopathic Medicine, launched a study abroad program in Blantyre, Malawi, in eastern Africa.
Malawi, also known as "The Warm Heart of Africa," was selected for several reasons: the country has a high prevalence of infectious diseases, it's an English-speaking country, security is good and MSU researcher Terri Taylor has been active there for more than 30 years.
MSU medical students have long had the opportunity to travel to Blantyre for a tropical disease course, but in 2017, the first undergraduate study abroad venture took place. This trip had 11 students participating, including six BLD majors and five other students representing majors in biochemistry and molecular biology, human biology, microbiology and molecular genetics, and neuroscience.
The program has dual goals of increasing student knowledge of tropical diseases and developing awareness of the root causes of health disparities in global health settings. The learning uses traditional lectures by faculty and local experts, and student labs.
Lecture topics are augmented by rotations in the clinical laboratories of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in the Bridgetown District, where students observe and take part in testing in a resource-limited setting. Visits to all levels of health care, from rural health centers to private urban hospitals, demonstrate the diverse access to care.
Each student also participates in a research project in the Blantyre Malaria Project laboratory and presents their results in a poster forum. There are rigorous academic assessments throughout the program and at its conclusion, including scientific writing, presentation of peer-reviewed journal studies, lab reports and tests.
The students also volunteered weekly at the Ndirande Handicapped Center, where they played with, tutored and served food to infants and children who had recovered from cerebral malaria or other devastating infectious diseases.
This research opportunity was, in part, supported by a generous gift from Michigan State alumnus Betty Schoepke and her husband, John, to BLD to support undergraduate research.
The 2018 trip (June 3-July 1) includes six BLD majors, two microbiology and molecular genetics majors and five human biology majors.
2017 saw the first undergraduate student cohort participate in the Malawi study abroad program in eastern Africa. Participants included (left to right): Trisha Franklin (biomedical laboratory science), Lilian Boufakhreddine (biomedical laboratory science), Gift Nikijho and Metendere Hara (Malawi), Nathan Rutila (human biology), Jake Nitzkin (neuroscience) and Carly Suriano (microbiology and molecular genetics).

Gelion opens zinc bromide battery manufacturing facility in Sydney
Renewable energy storage innovator Gelion has commenced industrial production of its gel-based zinc bromide battery with the launch of a manufacturing facility in Western Sydney, capable of producing two megawatt hours of batteries annually. Gelion's non-lithium battery lasts for six to 12 hours and will be critical in replacing fossil fuel-produced energy on the grid by providing new storage options for a higher percentage of renewables.
Gelion partnered with Battery Energy at its lead-acid manufacturing site in Fairfield to accelerate speed to market, with the battery designed to fit standard lead acid racks, and its manufacturing line using 70% of existing lead-acid battery processes. Scaling the Gelion manufacturing capacity will also require similar skills as those used in other legacy industrial processes, including coal-fired power stations, meaning Gelion could absorb, retrain and grow fossil-fuel reliant or otherwise diminishing jobs as Australia's energy transition occurs.
The global battery market is forecast to grow by 2026, but there are currently significant challenges with unsustainable, unreliable or risky global supply chains, including a dependence on finite rare-earth materials and a predicted global lithium shortage. Gelion's gel-based zinc bromide battery could solve these issues by being more cost-effective, recyclable, sustainably produced, safe in high temperatures and scalable on a predominantly Australian supply chain. Tests performed on the first batch of Gelion batteries have shown their performance meets customer requirements and the batteries will be supplied to the Acciona Energia solar plant in Narrava, Spain to potentially become part of Acciona's supplier portfolio as a renewable energy storage provider. Gelion and Battery Energy are also experiencing interest from Australian customers and industry looking to decarbonise and improve energy security.
Hannah McCaughey, CEO of Gelion, said the company's technology will be deployed to Acciona to support its development of renewable battery systems, adding that the industrial production of its battery will be a significant step forward in Gelion's growth strategy, strengthening the company's position in the rapidly expanding energy storage market. "We are delighted to be launching production of our breakthrough battery, proving it can be produced at scale with existing lead-acid battery manufacturing processes," McCaughey said.
According to Gelion, this ability to create scalable onshore production facilities that can help Australia's energy transition is critical to securing Australia's sovereign manufacturing capabilities. The new Western Sydney facility officially launched on 30 September 2022 at a ceremony attended by Chris Bowen, Federal Minister for Climate Change and Energy, and Ed Husic, Federal Minister for Industry and Science.
"This is a great day for Gelion, starting the first industrial production line for their new Endure Battery, right here in Fairfield, the industrial heartland of Sydney. This is what Australian innovation is all about; cutting-edge technology and new manufacturing opportunities, which means more well-paying local jobs and upskilling in the workforce," Bowen said.
"It's fantastic to see Australian scientific know-how turned into battery manufacturing capability right here in Western Sydney. Through the National Battery Strategy, the Albanese government wants to see the creation of a thriving energy storage industry supporting renewable technologies," Husic said.

Learning about the science behind treating hearing loss can be daunting. There are so many terms, concepts and measurements – it's often hard to understand what each of them really means for your hearing, and how these concepts influence the way you treat your hearing loss.
Here we will try to explain one of those concepts, a sound processor's maximum power output (MPO), or maximum output force level (the technical term for bone conduction devices), with a simple analogy: the ceiling of a house. Understanding MPO can give you insight on why your audiologist chooses or recommends a certain sound processor for your individual hearing needs, and this knowledge can empower you to ultimately make a choice that best suits you.
All sound processors have limits on how much power they can provide, and this limit is the most important contributor to a device's fitting range. A device's power limit is known as the maximum power output, or MPO. In a chart measuring a device's output (see illustration below), the MPO appears as a line graph showing the maximum power (in dB) it can provide across the hearing (frequency) range – from deeper sounds like the hum of traffic to higher-pitched sounds like a bird's song. Now imagine the MPO line takes the shape of a house's ceiling.
An example of an MPO line, showing the MPO of the Baha 5 Sound Processor.
An image of a yellow house overlayed on example of an MPO line, showing the MPO of a sound processor with a high average MPO.
The height of the ceiling is important: Just as a taller person needs a high ceiling to be comfortable, a person with a high level of hearing loss needs a high MPO level to hear sounds comfortably.
Cochlear and other manufacturers make sound processors with different levels of amplification to "fit" your individual hearing loss, as the person in this illustration "fits" into their house.
However, just as its peak height (the highest level of power provided) is important, the shape of the MPO line – the way it slopes or curves across the chart – is also important. This shows how the sound processor delivers power across a range of the most important lower to higher frequencies. The average MPO is calculated across a number of frequencies, which illustrates the shape of this line.
The MPO on some devices delivers significantly more power to middle-range frequencies than the lower or higher frequencies important for speech. For these devices, the MPO chart looks more like a house with a very pointed ceiling and short walls. A tall person may stand comfortably in the centre, but they can't walk over to the window without bumping their head on the ceiling. In these sound processors, at the lower and higher frequencies important for speech, sounds hit the "ceiling" of the sound processor's power limits, distorting them.
Ideally, a device with a high average MPO allows you to clearly hear sounds across the frequency range – in the same way that a house with a gently sloped ceiling allows you to move around freely inside, all the way to peer out each window without bumping your head.
As most people have hearing loss across a wide range of frequencies, a peaked MPO means the sound processor may not amplify sound along the whole frequency range where they need it. The person wearing this sound processor actually hears sounds less clearly across these important frequencies.
A chart compares the power in a device with a high average MPO (yellow) with a device with a peaked MPO (orange). Circles on the chart show what sounds are represented at certain frequencies.
Two devices may have a similar fitting range but can differ widely in average MPO. Ideally you should experience clear sounds, even moving across lower and higher frequencies, without hitting the "ceiling" distorting the sounds you hear. This is what a high average MPO delivers.
