DEAN THOMAS has said sorry to the Hinckley United faithful after his team's dismal defeat against local rivals Nuneaton Town.
In front of a crowd of more than 1,200, the Knitters found themselves 3-0 down in less than half hour and with no way back against the league leaders.
And the Hinckley manager did not hold back in a scathing assessment of his side's performance which made it three defeats on the bounce.
Thomas said: "The first-half performance was shocking, many players did not do enough and we were found way short.
"I do want to apologise to anyone who came to watch us on Sunday and I was upset as much as them. It was way below our performances of recent weeks and I can accept losing but the manner of the defeat was upsetting.
"We showed no passion and I was amazed at some of the players as they could have made a name for themselves. But I found out more about my players and the one who did do well was Connor Gudger.
"The players should look at that as a nasty experience, bottle it up and then look at it before games as something they don't want to experience again.
The players have the chance to make amends when Workington travel to the Greene King Stadium for a battle between 14th and 15th in the table.
Thomas expects to have a tinker with his starting line-up following the crushing defeat to Nuneaton and may even have a new player to add to the squad.
He said: "We are in a dodgy spell at the moment and we have got to pick ourselves up and it is all about how we respond. We are still in a relegation battle and we need a few wins to be safe.

This book explores the portraiture of Elaine de Kooning, an enormously talented artist whose widely admired body of work—both abstract and figurative—is overdue for a contemporary reassessment.
John F. Kennedy, Frank O'Hara, Allen Ginsberg, Merce Cunningham, and Fairfield Porter were just some of the figures who sat for portraits by Elaine de Kooning. Famous for her marriage to the Abstract Expressionist Willem de Kooning, Elaine was herself a groundbreaking artist and writer who challenged many conventions during her career. Although she portrayed women, she was most engaged with portraits of men, sometimes painting multiple portraits of her subjects in order to explore and capture their most compelling likeness. She focused intently on her subjects—as she wrote in 1965, "Like falling in love painting a portrait is a concentration on one particular person and no one else will do." This insightful book explores de Kooning's portraits as well as her artistic process and her position in the rise of Postmodernism. Illustrated throughout with full-color reproductions of paintings, drawings, and archival photos, this book is an important contribution to the literature on Abstract Expressionism, women artists, and feminism during a transformative period, and will also appeal to lovers of painting of all kinds.

PHL's worsening traffic a serious threat to property growth
byAmor Maclang
FOR years now, I've been talking about disasters and calamities as the "new normal" that every Filipino must be able to anticipate and strategically prepare for—a reality of life that we can only address by harnessing an attitude anchored on "over preparation."
Now, it's time to turn our attention to an equally harsh reality—a bigger constant that most people have come to accept as a part of our daily existence, a never-ending headache that has yet to be figured out even by groups of people deemed responsible to take care of it—traffic congestion.
One wouldn't need to exert so much effort to explain how the Philippine traffic situation has gotten out of hand. In a recent study, the Japan International Cooperation Agency went public after it said that Metro Manila loses more than P2.4 billion a day to traffic congestion. The agency even went on to warn authorities and concerned agencies that this gloomy scenario may even result to a staggering P6 billion worth of losses a day come 2030 if no substantial strategy is carried out to address the problem soon.
Everyone's on the losing end
From occupying the ninth spot just this January in the list of the world's countries with the worst traffic situation, the Philippines even sank deeper into the pit after it moved up to fifth place.
"Urban traffic congestion is a significant and growing problem in many parts of the world. Moreover, as congestion continues to increase, the conventional approach of 'building more roads' doesn't always work for a variety of political, financial and environmental reasons," Australia-based engineer William Zhang and senior lecturer at the University of South Australia wrote in a research entitled, "Alternative Solutions for Urban Traffic Congestion."
"In fact, building new roads can actually compound congestion, in some cases, by inducing greater demands for vehicle travel that quickly eat away the additional capacity. Against this backdrop of serious existing and growing congestion, traffic-control techniques and information systems are needed that can substantially increase capacity and improve traffic-flow efficiency."
Enduring the hit
It didn't help at all when the leadership of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority recently came out with a statement advising the public to expect the traffic situation to only get worse in the next 15 years. This was rooted from the claim that the government can only start fully implementing the Metro-wide transport plan come 2030—a statement that only added to the disappointment of legions of Filipinos.
As I've written in a previous post tackling this issue, real-estate developers carry a huge responsibility to preserve and uplift the quality of life wherever they choose to build. Efficient master planning should be at the core of every developer's building strategy. Good planning is the best assurance for real-estate developers to retain and increase land and property values. Through this, they can sustainably and effectively attract long-term business, whether it may be through residential, commercial, or other forms of investments.
In Cebu, for example, the local government has begun collaborating with property developers to help minimize the impact of future developments to the existing traffic-congestion situation.
Over the past few years, the Philippines has successfully managed to create a global reputation for being one of the most consistent bearers of progress. However, all the efforts and the milestones attained to achieve this goal will only go nowhere if we won't be able to establish the appropriate programs to sustain the momentum that we've already enjoyed.
Studies have shown that urban congestion remains as one of the biggest threats to sustaining land property values and consumer interest. Real-estate developers have long acknowledged this fact, which is why they have started looking at Metro Manila's neighboring areas, like Bulacan and Cavite, among others, to host the next generation of central business districts, with the aim of helping decongest the National Capital Region. But until all of these developments are finally realized, we will still have to take part in the continuing drama—that is Metro Manila's traffic situation.

FINANCIAL freedom as a goal becomes more challenging to achieve as we face a world characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity.
You will certainly ask the question why I am combining the future of innovation, which drives management in 2023, with better health-care systems. The main reason is that many companies are hampered by medical issues of their employees because of the pandemic that hit us in 2020.
The Philippine economy can be likened to a money train—it keeps on expanding robustly and nothing for now can stop it from speeding ahead.

Q: How to install npm package globally without internet connection? I need to install pm2 and pm2-windows-service package globally on a computer without an internet connection. I have tried to save each package as a tarball on my own computer (with internet connection) like this:
npm pack pm2
npm pack pm2-windows-startup

Then I copy both tarball files 'pm2-4.2.3.tgz' and 'pm2-windows-startup-1.0.3.tgz' to the computer without internet connection and try to install globally as follow:
npm i -g pm2-4.2.3.tgz
npm i -g pm2-windows-startup-1.0.3.tgz

But I always have the same error ...
npm ERR! code ENOTFOUND
npm ERR! errno ENOTFOUND
npm ERR! network request to https://registry.npmjs.org/@pm2%2fagent failed, reason: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND registry.npmjs.org
npm ERR! network This is a problem related to network connectivity.
npm ERR! network In most cases you are behind a proxy or have bad network settings.
npm ERR! network
npm ERR! network If you are behind a proxy, please make sure that the
npm ERR! network 'proxy' config is set properly.  See: 'npm help config'

Some suggestion to solve that?

A: According to npm documentation

Global install (with -g): puts stuff in /usr/local or wherever node is installed.

I haven't tried it myself but what I'd try to do is to take the dependency (with all subdependencies) and put it in the directory with your node. Something like <PATH_TO_NODE>/node_modules.
Then take the corresponding file from your local node_modules/.bin and put it in the <PATH_TO_NODE>
If you don't know where your node is installed, you can run this command in the terminal
npm config get prefix

Directories will be different on UNIX systems.

Secretion of a target protein is a common expression strategy in yeast. This approach is used to produce recombinant extracellular eukaryotic proteins that often do not express well in bacteria. One technical challenge is that a secreted target protein becomes diluted in large volumes of growth medium complicating its recovery. Additionally, many common tags do not perform well, either being limited in their scalability (e.g. antibody resins) or often suffering from interference by growth medium components (e.g. nickel affinity resins).
The pKLCF-series vectors offer the ability to secrete a target protein fused to a chitin binding domain (CBD) tag in the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis. The CBD tag permits rapid recovery of secreted fusion proteins using chitin resin or chitin magnetic beads. The CBD tag tightly and selectively binds chitin without the need for concentrating or buffer exchanging the growth medium. Elution from chitin occurs sharply upon brief exposure to a high pH buffer.
Different pKLCF-series vectors permit construction of N- or C-terminal CBD tags on the target protein. A protease site can be engineered between the CBD and target protein. To further enhance the purity of purified CBD-tagged proteins, an engineered K. lactis strain that lacks endogenous chitin-binding proteins may be used as a host.
In the nucleus, an integrated expression vector encoding a fusion between the α-MF domain (blue) and a desired protein (black) is expressed. A signal peptide in the α-MF domain directs entry of the fusion protein into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and is removed by signal peptidase (SP). The fusion protein is transported to the Golgi where the Kex protease removes the α-MF domain. The protein of interest is then secreted from the cell.
Where can I find sequence and restriction maps of NEB's expression vectors?
Lane 2: spent culture medium (15 µl) from wild-type K. lactis cells.
Lane 3: spent culture medium (15 µl) from K. lactis cells harboring an integrated expression cassette containing the E. coli malE gene.
pKLAC2 (9107 bp) contains the 5´ and 3´ ends of the LAC4 promoter (PLAC4-PBI) separated by DNA encoding β-lactamase (ApR) and the pMB1 origin (ori) to allow for its propagation in E. coli. The K. lactis α-mating factor secretion leader sequence (α-MF), multiple cloning site (MCS), and the LAC4 transcription terminator (TT) lie immediately downstream of 3´ PLAC4-PBI. The yeast ADH1 promoter (PADH1) drives expression of an acetamidase selectable marker gene (amdS). The vector can be linearized by digestion with SacII or BstXI to create a linear DNA fragment capable of inserting into the native LAC4 promoter region of the K. lactis genome.
pKLAC2 (9107 bp) contains the K. lactis α-mating factor secretion leader sequence (blue background) and a polylinker immediately downstream of the PLAC4-PBI promoter. Unique polylinker restriction sites are indicated. Half arrows show the positions of pKLAC-series vector-specific sequencing primers available from New England Biolabs.

Home / Games / Arcade / Subway Surfers Mod APK 3.4.1 (Unlimited coins and keys) Download
Subway Surfers Mod APK 3.4.1 (Unlimited coins and keys) Download
Developer SYBO Games
Genre Arcade
Runner games became popular many years ago with the release of Temple Run and its sequels and spin-offs. Because of its massive success, it spawned a whole new genre of gaming – endless runners.
In this article, we don't need to introduce this game to you as you've probably heard of it. Subway Surfers APK was released in 2012 when the mobile gaming industry was at its dawn. But now, this game has remained a classic and it's still playable to this day. But for those who don't know it, what is it all about? Let's find out!
Simple but Addictive
With such an incredibly addictive gameplay, it's no surprise that this game has over 1 billion downloads on Google Play alone! Millions of players love the game and it remained a top-charting game over the years.
So, what exactly is the secret behind this? Is there a complex gameplay that's meticulously crafter to achieve this? None! The game is a simple endless runner where you need to escape a police chase after putting a graffiti in the subway. In this game, you're automatically running just like in Temple Run. But unlike in temple run, the obstacles in here are subway-related like trains, walls, cones etc.
You also need to pick up coins and power-ups to that gives you temporary advantage in the game. The goal of the game is simple, try to keep running as long as you can! But it's not the simple. As you continue running, the pace gradually moves up until it's too fast for you. That's what makes this game such an addictive one as you are trying to beat your record and others worldwide. Think you have what it takes to be the best runner?
Subway Surfers' Features
Subway Surfers has so much more to offer than just endless running. After all, it couldn't have achieved so massive success if not for its endearing features! So, what separates this game from so many copycats? Let's dig in:
Various characters – At the start of the game, you can only play the main protagonist – Jake. Jake is a cool but naughty kid that regularly gets caught up in some kind of mess. Together, he and his friends try to bring fun and escape the authorities in this game. His friends are Tricky, Fresh, Spike, Yutani, Frank, Frizzy and many many more! Collect them all to get different kinds of game styles and costumes.
Easy controls – Another aspect of this game that was a contributor to its success is the easy controls. Like most endless runners, you don't need to press anything in order to accelerate. You just need to swipe left, right, up and down to maneuver your character. You also just need to double tap the screen to activate your power-ups. That's how easy it is!
Plenty of power-ups – What makes a game even more fun is the presence of power-ups. These are time-limited items that give you a special advantage when used. In this game, there are tons you can used throughout the run. You can pick up sneakers which will enable you to run faster. Or the magnet which will allow you to pick up all the coins in your surroundings automatically for a period of time. But perhaps one of the coolest of them all would be the jetpack that allows you to fly into the sky and collect coins and power-ups in there as well.
Impressive graphics – This game offers a stunning 3D graphics at the time and it still holds well today against most games. The characters are well-designed with cuteness in mind and the scenery and obstacles all look convincing. Also, did we mention that the one police officer chasing you has a dog? It looks realistic and frightening too. So, do your best to outrun them!
Multiple locations – Even though the main theme to this game is the subway, the developers does a good job of changing locations from time to time. With every update, the location of the subway changes as well as the main elements in the game. This allows the game to be not boring. In the current update, the game is set in Paris.
Tips for Playing Subway Surfers
An endless runner game may seem like a fun and casual game to pass the time. However, a lot of players take this seriously in order to come out on the top at the leaderboards. But getting there isn't a piece of cake! In order to do that, you first need to read these tips:
Stay high – In this game, the key to your survivability is by avoiding obstacles. However, that's not possible at all times when every turn you make are full of obstacles. That's why whenever you see a train, try to get on top of them as much as possible because they offer temporary relief from obstacles. Also, when you see jetpacks, get them at all costs because when you're in the sky, there are no obstacles at all!
Memorize the power-ups – In this game, you can't just pick a power-up and expect it to work perfectly fine each time. When you bump into an obstacle while using one, you'll lose them instantly. So, it's important to know what each power-up does. There are power-ups that fly you into the air and there are others that allows you to jump super high. Whatever it is, the key to using it effectively is by knowing what it does.
Watch videos – Coins are your best friends in this game as it allows you to unlock characters and so on. But did you know that you can get to earn coins every day? Yes, you just watch a video advertisement and watch as you will be rewarded with coins.

New book 'Fashion Central Saint Martins' goes behind the scenes of the top fashion school

Fashion Central Saint Martins published by Thames & Hudson looks to open up on the magic behind the debatably best fashion institute in the world, captured in the memories that have helped build its reputation.
"Our aim is to turn the College inside out, making public the energy, intelligence and creativity that exists inside our walls. We do all this because we believe that arts and design can generate real, productive change." This is the mission statement of arguably the most famous art university in the world.
The time John Galliano and Jasper Conran were an 'it couple'
From the likes of Phoebe Philo, Alexander McQueen and John Galliano to the new guard of Richard Quinn, Matty Bovan and Molly Goddard, the line-up for every Central Saint Martins Fashion Department has always been heaving with the brightest lights to illuminate the fashion world stage.

In a new book released by Thames & Hudson, Fashion Central Saint Martins explores the college's glittering alumni through the ages, but also aims to focus on what exactly makes Central Saint Martins the globally recognised institution it has become.
While the focus on the end of year show has always been the case for the outside press, buyers and industry leaders looking in at CSM – think Galliano's Les Incroyables, McQueen's Jack The Ripper Stalks His Victims, to Craig Green's outcast structures – the CSM books looks to focus on the experiences of the students throughout the highs, lows and realities of being young, foolish, broke in money but rich in ideas at one of the most creative outposts in the world.
Matty Bovan launches his latest zine 'Beautiful Teddy'
There are snippets of memories from some of the kings of the fashion week schedules, with Stephen Jones reminiscing of discovering Punk on his first day, to the likes of Giles Deacon and Hussein Chalayan reminiscing on the lasting importance that the school café Dave's Bar played in their interactions with fine art, sculpture and graphic design students that came to shape their practice.
Riccardo Tisci sketchbook, 1999
Humour is in hordes, with Phoebe Philo asserting of her time at Central Saint Martins: "I just wanted to make a pair of trousers that made my arse look good, rather than a pair that represented the Holocaust or something." This is matched with Katie Grand reminiscing that the best piece of advice she received from her time in the fashion department was from Bobby Hillson upon cantilevering between her degree and Dazed Magazine: "Bobby said to me 'look, you're going to fail at either the magazine or the course. You should choose.'… I thought, that's the best piece of advice anyone has ever given me. And I skipped off and never looked back." She of course did come back, to host the official closing party of the Charing Cross building with LOVE Magazine and Pulp performing their cult hit to the super fans, students and tutors alike.
The time Alexander McQueen entered a beauty pageant
The focus is definitely a warts and all honest portrayal of the University through the decades, and while the impact of the tutors, of Louise Wilson, of the creative liberation gushes throughout, as does that reminders that the time spent there for students was also rife with stress, long nights, the demonization of perfection, and trying to work out how to create a collection of mystifying standards on a budget no less that meagrely scraping the financial barrel. Antonio Berardi notes: "One would suffer, have an empty fridge, not pay the rent, sleep on anyone's floor, but always be at the right club, dressed in Gaultier, John Flett, Galliano, Dean Bright, Hamnett, Dolce & Gabbana or Westwood… That was a given." Rightly labelled "one of the biggest idea exchanges in the world", the book also gives space for the teachers and tutors to share their thoughts and conclusions on the spectacular success of the college. From Fabio Piras' belief in the enabling nature of the university to express oneself, even at one's "most ridiculous or naïve or silly" To Louise Wilson's conclusion that: "All is a learning curve always for everyone": a reminder that it was also the teachers who learnt from their exchanges and experiences while within CSM's ever-evolving enclave. When asked by a BBC reporter what was her teaching style, Sarah Mower remembers a Louise Wilson turning to the journalist, pausing for two seconds before delivering one of her now-famous slap-downs: "We don't do style here: we do content".
While Central Saint Martins has plenty to brag about, they stoically remain looking to the future – exactly where its eyeline should remain.

The 1st XI overcame AC Malden 4-0 in the League Cup at Poplar Road today. However, it was a pity that the grass hadn't been cut , as it made for an awkward surface not normally associated with our facilities! Anyway, the Ruts missed a penalty on 5 minutes and the interval arrived goalless.
The Ruts stepped it up a gear after the break, with Jerome Longville putting the OR's ahead in the first minute of the period, after he closed down the keeper so well that the resulting ricochet notched the home lead. Three top strikes in a 14 minute spell started on the hour mark, firstly Nick Ragget hit a 20 yard rasper and this was followed by equally stunning strikes from Ryan Moore and Myles Wiltshire, the culmination of which brought about a convincing victory.
The 2nd XI went down 4 – 3 after extra time at NPL Reserves, with Ben Kennett, Steve Berry and Rhys Waul scoring for the Ruts.
The 3rd XI drew 3 – 3 at Oxted & District Reserves with Dan Martin notching a great hatrick.
Best wishes to the Vets & U9's tomorrow. Let's hope we can see the U9's at Poplar Road if they are taller than Don Estelle and Windsor Davies's Whispering Grass.


A new video shows Apple Park's equally impressive and futuristic parking lot. The lot is efficiently designed using tunnels and LED lights.
Located at 1 Apple Park Way in Cupertino, California, United States, Apple's new $5 billion corporate headquarters, called Apple Park and dubbed "the spaceship," is an impressive work of architecture. The site consists of one central four-storied circular building of approximately 2,800,000 square feet surrounded by trees and plants and complemented by an artificial pond in the middle.
However, a recent video by a Lyft driver has revealed even the headquarter's parking lot is an impressive feat of design. In this case, it is a work of traffic efficiency monitoring design.
A building that houses thousands of employees and visitors every day would be riddled with traffic issues. But Apple Park's underground parking seems to be equipped with a complex and well-crafted system of tunnels, turns and LED lights that make navigating the lot a breeze.
The lot even features intersections with actual futuristic horizontal traffic lights. Additionally, the area is drowned in blue-ish and white-ish lights making it even more "spaceship"-like.
Due to Apple Park's exorbitant size, visitors to the headquarters are provided with the name of their meeting contact, an exact entrance to come in from and a big picture of the site. Due to the confidential work taking place at the headquarters, visits are not easy to obtain.
Speaking on the Park, Apple CEO Tim Cook said: "Steve's vision for Apple stretched far beyond his time with us. He intended Apple Park to be the home of innovation for generations to come. The workspaces and parklands are designed to inspire our team as well as benefit the environment. We've achieved one of the most energy-efficient buildings in the world, and the campus will run entirely on renewable energy."
Indeed, the new headquarters are a marvel on many fronts. The campus is surrounded by 7,000 trees landscaped by a leading Stanford arborist who even restored the local apricot orchards.
Only glass is used for the inner courtyard and all landscapes facing the exterior of the building offering impressive views. The building is also considered on one of the most energy-efficient in the world.
It is equipped with solar panels on the roof of that can generate 17 megawatts of power that can power up to 75% of the site during peak daytime. This makes the structure one of the biggest solar roofs in the world.
The building is efficiently designed so that air flows freely between the inside and outside producing natural ventilation. Meanwhile, a large fitness center caters to up to 20,000 employees.
Apple provides 1,000 bikes for employees to use on the many cycling and jogging trails the facility features. An additional 2,000 bicycle parking spaces can also be found in the parking lot.
The exquisite building did, however, have some complaints. Several workers reported being severely injured after walking into the clear glass panes.

Digitised Diseases is a major web-based 3D resource of chronic disease conditions that manifest change to the human skeleton. The resource was established through funds from Jisc, the University of Bradford and Bradford Visualisation. The multidisciplinary team involving project partners Museum of London Archaeology and the Royal College of Surgeons of England undertook a program of mass digitization of pathological type specimens from world-renowned archaeological, historic and medical collections at the University of Bradford, in London and York. We continue to augment this resource through ingestion of new content. The resource was always envisaged as needing to appeal to a diverse user community, having impact not just among academic and clinical beneficiaries, but also enriching the wider understanding of public health in the past. From the outset, our focus was on making sure that the digitized paleopathological exemplars were represented and understood within a broader clinical context. In essence we wanted to emphasize the impact of living with disease and disability in an era before modern therapies were available and the significance of care provision that would have been required at a societal level, given the longevity of many of these conditions.

The Flaw of Averages Why We Underestimate Risk in the Face of Uncertainty
By Sam L. Savage (Author), Jeff Danziger (Illustrator), Harry M. Markowitz (Contributor)
https://www.whsmith.co.uk/products/the-flaw-of-averages-why-we-underestimate-risk-in-the-face-of-uncertai/sam-l-savage/jeff-danziger/paperback/9781118073759-01-000.html £15.67 rrp £15.99 Save £0.32 (2%)
A must-read for anyone who makes business decisions that have a major financial impact. As the recent collapse on Wall Street shows, we are often ill-equipped to deal with uncertainty and risk. Yet every day we base our personal and business plans on uncertainties, whether they be next month s sales, next year s costs, or tomorrow s stock price. In The Flaw of Averages, Sam Savage-known for his creative exposition of difficult subjects- describes common avoidable mistakes in assessing risk in the face of uncertainty. Along the way, he shows why plans based on average assumptions are wrong, on average, in areas as diverse as healthcare, accounting, the War on Terror, and climate change. In his chapter on Sex and the Central Limit Theorem, he bravely grasps the literary third rail of gender differences. Instead of statistical jargon, Savage presents complex concepts in plain English. In addition, a tightly integrated web site contains numerous animations and simulations to further connect the seat of the reader s intellect to the seat of their pants. The Flaw of Averages typically results when someone plugs a single number into a spreadsheet to represent an uncertain future quantity. Savage finishes the book with a discussion of the emerging field of Probability Management, which cures this problem though a new technology that can pack thousands of numbers into a single spreadsheet cell. Praise for The Flaw of Averages Statistical uncertainties are pervasive in decisions we make every day in business, government, and our personal lives. Sam Savage s lively and engaging book gives any interested reader the insight and the tools to deal effectively with those uncertainties. I highly recommend The Flaw of Averages. William J. Perry, Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Enterprise analysis under uncertainty has long been an academic ideal...In this profound and entertaining book, Professor Savage shows how to make all this practical, practicable, and comprehensible. -Harry Markowitz, Nobel Laureate in Economics

SAN FRANCISCO – Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reached a settlement with Encore Oils, LLC and Ottone-Salinas, Inc., to take steps to reduce the risk of oil spills from their biodiesel processing facility in Salinas, CA to the Monterey Bay watershed. The agreement, which includes a $31,893 penalty, resolves several federal Clean Water Act violations.
Under the June 2017 agreement, SeQuential has implemented multiple safeguards to ensure spills will not discharge into nearby waterways, including permanently closing failing tanks and improving secondary containment. The company is in the process of installing new aboveground oil storage tanks to replace inadequate infrastructure.
"This agreement will help protect the sensitive ecosystems of Monterey Bay, the Salinas River, and Alisal Creek from upstream industrial activities," said Alexis Strauss, EPA's Acting Regional Administrator for the Pacific Southwest. "Today's action under the Clean Water Act highlights the need for companies operating near our waterways to comply with oil spill prevention plans."
EPA's oil pollution prevention regulations aim to prevent oil from reaching navigable waters and adjoining shorelines, and to ensure containment of oil discharges in the event of a spill. Specific prevention measures include developing and implementing spill prevention plans, training staff, and installing physical controls to contain and clean up oil spills.

Q: How can I calculate these using a program or WolframAlpha? I have this expression: $ S_{n-1} = \frac{2\pi^{\frac{n}{2}}}{\Gamma\left(\frac{n}{2}\right)} r^{n-1} $
I have this sequence:

*

*$ S_{n} $

*$ \frac{1}{2}(S_{n}) + S_{n-1} $

*$ \frac{1}{2^2}(S_{n}) + \frac{1}{2}(S_{n-1}) + S_{n-2} $

*$ \frac{1}{2^3}(S_{n}) + \frac{1}{2^2}(S_{n-1}) + \frac{1}{2}(S_{n-2}) + S_{n-3} $

*... stop when $S_{3}$ is reached.

I would like to get the values for each of these (in simplified form with $\pi$ in the expression, not the decimal values), starting with my choice of n.

A: In Mathematica, One possible solution, probably not the most elegant one, is this:


Colleen A. Hill, nee Groth, passed away on January 31, 2019. Beloved wife of Ben Hill. Loving mom of Jacob Carl and Julie Ann. Cherished daughter of Donna and Carl Groth. Dear baby sister of Meghan (Mike) Groth-Prepura and David (Candace) Groth. Also survived by aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and life-long friends.

With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, it can be easy to forget that anytime you are cooking for friends and loved ones, safety should always come first. Put that golden rule to practice this year with the Red Plaid Oven Mitt by Lazy One! Using old dish rags to pull pans out of the oven can be dangerous, because even the tiniest piece of exposed skin can result in third degree burns. With the Red Plaid Oven Mitt by Lazy One, you wont ever have to worry about burning yourself or destroying decorative dish rags again!


Though those statistics sound discouraging, more and more people are actually keeping more of their natural teeth as they age – and when they do lose teeth, their replacement options are improving dramatically.
At our Clinton Township dental office, Masters Family Dentistry offer comfortable, custom fitted dentures and partial dentures to help patients replace their teeth and restore their smiles.
Avoid using boiling water to sterilize your denture, because hot water can cause the denture to lose its shape.
Wear your denture at night only for the first two weeks if your dentist has advised it.
Remove your denture at night for at least eight hours at a time to allow your gums to rest.
If you have any questions or concerns about your denture, or you need a denture reline or repair, please call Clinton Township dental office.

Friedrich Ernst Morgenstern (født 17. januar 1853 i Frankfurt a. M., død 29. maj 1919 sammesteds) var en tysk maler.

Morgenstern hørte til en kunstnerfamilie, der i 5 Generationer dyrkede malerkunsten, særlig i Frankfurt a. M. Faderen  (1812–1893) vandt navn ved italienske billeder (Hamborgs Kunsthalle: Fra Ariccia). Friedrich Ernst Morgenstern, der en tid studerede i Paris, har særlig dyrket marinemaleriet; han virkede som professor i sin fødeby.

research use of MRI machines.
The European Parliamentarians, patient groups, scientists and members of the medical community are working to avert a serious threat to MRI use. EU health and safety legislation that would go into effect in April 2008 would have the impact of regulating clinical and research use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
In 2004, the European Union adopted new regulations aimed at protecting workers from exposure to electro-magnetic fields, which are linked to adverse health effects such as dizziness. The Directive (EU Physical Agents 2004/40/EC-EMF) is a broad regulation that is not aimed at the health care industry. The European Society of Radiology says that the MRI impact is an unintended consequence. ESR also pointed out that the impact assessment for the rule is ten years old.
Nevertheless, if the rule takes effect it would directly threaten clinical and research use of MRI. The alternatives to MRI might shift more patients to X-ray or CT alternatives, "technologies with significant proven health risks," the ESR indicated. The directive would also stop the use of MRI for interventional and surgical procedures, and squelch important research.
The Alliance for MRI will lobby health officials and propose amended EU-wide legislation to exempt MRI from the rule.
A panel discussion of the situation took place at the recent European Congress of Radiology in Vienna. The panel included Prof. Nicholas Gourtsoyiannis, ESR President, Prof. Gabriel Krestin, Chairman of the ESR Research Committee, Dr. Hannes Swoboda, Member of the European Parliament and Vice-Chair of the Party of European Socialists, as well as Ingela Meulenbergs of the European Federation of Neurological Associations.

"The most valuable thing I have learned through this experience is something people perhaps do not notice, and that refers to my readings in sociology as a discipline. There are incorrect definitions. I mean the terminology of 'primitive societies' describing the third world, of which we are part of as African societies. As students we hear a lot of this in our lectures – it took this journey to prove to me it was incorrect. There is no such thing as a 'primitive' society. Every society has its particular characteristics and ways of expressing itself, which is different from others."
Dr Ahmed Zakaria Ismail, a general practitioner from the Nuba Mountains, joined part of the journey through South Kordofan
"My colleagues and I spent hours debating the book, and the best way to transmit local expressions in their oddness. I have seen many of these images all my life, in homes and markets, and they seemed ordinary to me. Seeing them through someone else's eyes, I ask myself now, why did I not see this beauty? We don't value our own beauty. Someone else left her own country to write about us and about our cultural elements that might disappear without care for them. It was a feat that it could even be completed in Sudan in the first place. The least I could do was help her."
Mohamed Alkhatim Mohamed Ibrahim, translator and lecturer at the Translation Unit, University of Khartoum, contributed pro bono translation work to the book project over two years
"The idea of this book is about putting your preconceived ideas aside and finding something completely new. It is also a challenge: what do you know about yourself and about the world around you? That's what the pictures are ultimately asking. It is not just about Sudan, Sudanese people and their culture. It is about everyone and their intangible heritage on this planet. The world is changing fast. Countries change. There is social unrest, civil unrest and climate change. As people move to the cities, their major concern won't be agriculture, their families or ceremonies anymore but earning a living, which means concepts vanishing for all of us. It is a part of all of us that won't exist anymore."
Aisha Maniar, a professional translator from the UK donated more than four years of English linguistic work to the project and visited Sudan first in 2014, for the book launch
"I heard about the project through a common friend, as culturally sensitive Arabic editing was needed. Sudan. I spent 22 years working there, knew the place, the culture, since my early childhood. I remember being shown some of the photos, and thinking to myself, she's got it right. She sees with her heart. The next three years was a journey back into my own past; every text I worked on, every photo I saw, evoking memories of smells, tastes, sounds and emotions that were almost tangible. The book engages all these senses. It was a lot of hard work, but it was worth every moment of it."
Sam Berner, an Australian translator, editor and researcher, donated Arabic linguistic work to the project through four years
"This work reasserts the Sudan people knew when I was growing up: generous, friendly, and an incredibly hospitable people. Sudan's current international image shows a political situation, but is not the story of a people who remain resilient, humorous, and accommodating, something I have always been proud of. It shines a light on the Sudanese character. It is an opportunity for young people in Sudan to reconnect with those sayings, wisdoms and stories you can easily become disconnected from. The book places that there as a permanent record. There is something universal about it. These sayings and wisdoms have an immediate impact and relevance wherever you are."
Rushdi Hamid, British-Sudanese, provided advice on business and legal matters concerning the project, first on behalf of DALEELTEQ, and then out of personal interest for several years
"We got to see Sudan from a different angle, not how we thought it was. Before we took off, I believed, or thought, that I knew Sudan very well: its various tribes, customs and traditions, because of my profession. I work in theatre. I found out that what I knew is but a grain of sand in the desert. I discovered that only if we were able to reach into all corners of Sudan that we would be able to discern the Sudanese people, who they really are."
Muammar Alghadhafi Muhieldin, actor and director, joined long parts of the journey and with his theatre group BESHAISH the Sand in My Eyes shadow theatre was created
"Sand in My Eyes was an enlightening encounter with the farreaching cultural process of visualization and safeguarding of culture and social interaction. In Central Europe, our "cultural memory" has long become image and written word. It is fascinating to experience first-hand the diversity and depth of Sudanese culture and wisdom to take shape in a form tangible for us. The project is a precious treasure in building co-existence of cultures in tolerance and understanding."

Wisconsin Historical Society honors Blugolds
Friday, June 9, 2017 | Judy Berthiaume
The Wisconsin Historical Society is honoring three Blugolds for their work in documenting the state's history.
Dr. Robert J. Gough, professor emeritus of history, Dr. James W. Oberly, professor of history and American Indian studies, and Greg Kocken, head of special collections, university archives and records management, are 2017 Wisconsin Historical Society Board of Curators Award recipients.
Gough and Oberly received the organization's Book of Merit Award for their book, "Building Excellence: University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, 1916-2016."
Kocken received the Governor's Archives Award for Archival Advocacy.
With support from the UW-Eau Claire Foundation Inc., Oberly and Gough published a history of UW-Eau Claire. The book's release came during the university's yearlong centennial celebration.
The history that Gough and Oberly compiled is comprehensive, examining all aspects of the last 100 years of UW-Eau Claire — the policies, the academics, and student and faculty life, as well as connections to and support from the greater Chippewa Valley community.
"Winning the WHS Book of Merit award is a great honor for Bob Gough and me," Oberly said. "The decision by the Board of Curators of the Wisconsin Historical Society shows that the history of UWEC is of importance statewide. UWEC has made Wisconsin a better state in which to live and work with a century of educating its people, first as teachers, later as professionals in many areas, and always as citizens, as detailed in the book."
The award also continues a tradition of recognition of scholarship by the WHS of excellence in scholarship of UWEC historians, Oberly said, noting that Gough won the same award for his book "Farming the Cutover: A Social History of Northern Wisconsin, 1900-1940" in 1998, and Jane Pederson won it in 1993 for her book, "Between Memory and Reality: Family and Community in Rural Wisconsin, 1870-1970."
Kocken oversees a UW-Eau Claire department that collects the official and unofficial records from throughout the university's 100-year history. As a member of the Wisconsin Historical Society's Area Research Center Network, UW-Eau Claire also holds manuscript collections and local government records pertaining to six Wisconsin counties.
Each year, the Wisconsin Historical Society's governing Board of Curators recognizes individuals and organizations for meritorious work in areas relating to the society's mission.
For details about the awards, visit www.wisconsinhistory.org.
Judy is an IMC storyteller, sharing stories about the many exceptional people that make UW-Eau Claire such a phenomenal place. She talks with students, faculty, staff and alumni to find and to share their successes, initiatives, challenges and dreams with the campus community and the world beyond.

Being subject to changing circumstance is a normal part of the campaign trail for any aspiring Olympic sailor. The uncertainty of the RS:X class being put back in the Olympics, and the new (and welcomed) change in the sailing team leadership created uncertainty in the state of my post-Olympic campaign. Especially in the first year of a new quadrennial, funding is critical but difficult to secure; this is the situation for me this winter. After five years of support, my main sponsor has decided not to renew for my Rio campaign.
While waiting for the ISAF decision on either the RS:X windsurfer or kiteboarding for Rio, I was given a trip to Australia to train in a prime location, Brisbane, where Southern Hemisphere summer weather brings sun, heat, and windy conditions. It was a great offer and I took it, arriving in Brisbane in November. In November and December, I trained full time with Jo Sterling, an Australian sailor, and top Italian sailor Flavia Tartaglini in Brisbane and Sydney. I tried to implement this winter plan without knowing what my funding would be; I tried to forge ahead by doing what I thought I should do to make the most of my training time in Australia without knowing exactly would happen to me this winter.
With a last minute decision to include the RS:X in the Miami OCR World Cup, the sole event to qualify for the 2013 US Sailing team, I had a tough choice to make about how to get the most value from my very limited resources. Attending the Miami Olympic Classes Regatta was an opportunity to gain a spot on the US Sailing Team, but I would lose valuable training and development time, not to mention exhausting my funds. The stresses of travel and a 14-hour time change on short notice versus the opportunity for me to improve my overall speed and technique while working with a familiar coach was how I saw the choice. For me, staying in Australia was the better option. Under the new US Sailing leadership, I, and any other US athlete, still have the same opportunity to earn funding and use American coaching resources - a new attitude of inclusiveness I really appreciate. But without any significant funding available this year, and our international results determining our 2014 funding, I am targeting top finishes in Europe as my goal this year. My current training camp here in Brisbane is preparing me for the European season.
After three and a half months of training in the consistent Brisbane sea breeze, and 10 days more to go until our coach returns to Poland, I can say that I am really happy with the way the training is going. With two long sessions daily, we have plenty of opportunity to develop speed in all conditions, and I've had the chance to perfect my board handling. Adding in some racing has also been a great opportunity to develop focus, consistency, and the mental side of the sport. The training has been great preparation and a confidence-builder for the upcoming European season, and I'm looking forward to seeing how well I will race this spring. My greatest challenge now is again growing my support base in order to properly campaign. I've got a great plan in place but it takes the proper resources to make it happen. All I know is that competing in this sport at an Olympic level will never be easy. I've come to a point where I know for certain I have a chance to make a top finish at the next Olympics. It's just a matter of putting myself there and once again, I'll give it my all.


After discussing the situation on world financial markets, the Bank Board decided to launch regular liquidity-supplying repo operations from 15 October. Government bonds of the Czech Republic will be used as collateral in these operations. The CNB will thus support the smooth functioning of the government bond market. This technical measure aims to prevent potential spreading of problems from foreign financial markets to the Czech financial sector.
information on the refinancing facility will be published on the CNB's website and on the websites of Reuters (page CNB04) and Bloomberg (page CNB04).
The first liquidity-providing repo operation will be announced on 15 October 2008.
the 2W repo rate + 30 b.p. for three-month maturity.
The remaining parameters of liquidity-providing repo operations remain unchanged.

Program begun by OT grad students provides comprehensive care for underserved trucker population
January 11, 2016 // By: Samantha Weiss // Real-world Learning
In a country where the average lifespan is 78.8 years old, according to the Center for Disease Control, one group of people is unlikely to even see 65. They suffer from untreated illnesses and stressful working conditions. As well, they run the risk of losing their job for illnesses or diseases they contract from their working environment.
Truck drivers are at an increased risk for many chronic health conditions, such as diabetes and heart failure. The drivers with the highest risks – those age 45 to 65 – are the most sought after group. Mental illnesses and emotional concerns are also rarely addressed and the lack of access to immediate care limits their options for treatment.
"Nothing in our economy moves without the trucking industry," Jim Frederick, CEO of Professional Drivers Health Net (PDHN), said.
For the past 50 years, Transport for Christ has taken on one facet of these concerns. The organization built 40 mobile chapels, the goal of which was to better the spiritual lives of the drivers. The facilities were considered a success, with approximately 80 to 100 thousand encounters each year. However, in interviews truckers expressed to medical professionals that their physical and mental health concerns remained unaddressed.
In response to this feedback, Elizabethtown College developed a solution with the support of the Social Enterprise Institute (SEI). Jim Reeb, director of SEI, explained that each mobile chapel will be transformed into a care center with a mini clinic, relaxation spaces and a smaller version of the original sanctuary. Centers will be equipped with televisions, couches and telemedicine kiosks.
"Their hours are regulated by federal law, but their duration as a truck driver can be extended by proper care," Reeb said.
Reeb explained that the goal of the centers is to create a space that is functional and welcoming to drivers, while enhancing the dignity of the population.
At the telemedicine kiosks, drivers will be able to use video and audio connections and diagnostic machines to attend virtual doctor's appointments at any time of day.
There also will be facilities for driving companions —from puppies to miniature ponies— because approximately 40 percent of drivers bring their pets on the road.
Membership in this organization will cost drivers $24.95 per month and allow them access to all services at the centers. This cost will cover medical co-pays, counseling, chaplaincy and on-site scheduled hours for appointments.
"The whole key of this is convenience for the driver and ease of accessibility…" Frederick said.
"We want to address the whole person, but we want to ultimately help drivers keep their driver's license (CDL) and have a healthy life to the extent we can help that."
Frederick worked with Reeb to design the program and help put it into action. For the past 38 years, Frederick has worked in the employee marketplace, with health systems, providers and benefits. His goal is to build on the knowledge he gained in his previous job to offer the most help to drivers through connections and partner organizations.
Frederick called the PDHN "the first integrated solution to the concerns of this population." In combining the PDHN with the occupational therapy department at Elizabethtown College, the group hopes to manage the previously ignored challenges facing this population.
"The real delivery of the services by the PDHN is focused on the occupational wellness of these drivers, as drivers, as an employee and as a family member or a citizen in the society," Reeb said.
In August of 2015, two groups of graduate students at the College took on the program as their graduate research project. Through research and interviews, the teams have begun to understand the lifestyles of the population that they are serving.
"Occupational therapy is a very holistic profession, and I think that is exactly what this population needs, because they have such diverse needs," fifth-year occupational therapy student Allison Kelly said.
"It is really multi-disciplined," Reeb said. "It includes occupational therapy people, social worker, engineers…"
The organization's mission is "to empower the delivery of integrated occupationally focused care to truck drivers by providing the best environment where lives can be changed." In order to combat the wellness desert that drivers face students, stakeholders and a team of experts assembled by SEI are working together to address the drivers' needs from many angles.
"We are aiming to adapt their rituals and routines to see how it can best support them in their futures," fifth-year occupational therapy student Payton Marunich said.
The SEI took on the project at the request of the Trucker Wellness Foundation. The foundation asked that Reeb and his organization find the best ways to promote wellness in the trucker population. The initial plan was to design a facility with the help of the engineering department, but the organization quickly agreed that the facility was less important than the care model that would be implemented.
"We started with the notion of delivering an entire wellness program: body, soul and spirit," Reeb said. "We realized that we really needed to create a new program that the country doesn't have."
The roll out will begin in 2016, when nine of the facilities will be completed. In 2017, the organization plans to complete the next seven and by 2018, estimates it will have 40 facilities.
The organization hopes to open 100 care centers in the United States at busy rest stops. Another goal is to take the organization international. Reeb plans to open 10 additional centers in Canada and approximately 60 throughout Africa in the coming years. Though no formal plans have been made to accomplish these goals, the Truckers' Wellness Center Inc. is looking to the future for new and innovative ways to improve the health of the world's drivers.
"The long-term vision is that we will see, through initiatives we put in place, an actual change," Frederick said.
