Adebowale Adebiyi, PhD, received a $154,00 grant from the American Heart Association to research kidney function in newborns.
Adebowale Adebiyi, PhD, associate professor in the Department of Physiology in the College of Medicine at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC), has received a grant totaling $154,000 from the American Heart Association to research the cause and treatment of abrupt decline in kidney function in newborns, also known as acute kidney injury.
Funds will be used to support a project titled, "Myogenic Renal Autoregulation in Neonatal Acute Kidney Injury," and will be distributed over two years.
Although both kidneys make up less than one percent of the total body weight, they receive almost a quarter of the blood supply from the heart every minute. The high rate of renal blood flow is required for the sustenance of the blood purification process within the kidneys. Unregulated blood pressure and blood flow may damage the kidneys. Healthy kidneys naturally maintain constant blood flow, despite fluctuations in blood pressure.
This phenomenon, known as renal autoregulation, is poorly understood in newborns. Research efforts in this study aim to reveal the mechanisms that underlie renal autoregulation in infants. as well as alterations that occur during an abrupt decline in kidney function.
The American Heart Association is the nation's oldest and largest voluntary organization devoted to fighting cardiovascular diseases and stroke. For more information, visit www.heart.org.

I cut a bunch more hexies for the quilt in progress that I showed yesterday.
I threw a bunch up on the design wall, but they aren't mixed up enough.
I pulled them down and put them in a basket to mix them up better. Then I'll put them back up.
I was asked how big these are. The finished length is just a bit over 5 inches.
I love these fabrics and colors Katy! They look really vintage, which is what I usually try to achieve. Is that really the name of the blocks? I would rather call them elongated hexagons, though.
Such a fun set of fabrics. It's going to be a very pretty scrappy quilt.
Looks pretty mixed up to me! Very nice scrappy look.
Absolutely love your quilt on your design wall. What a lot of work! Looks like all individually cut out and an amazing amount of "y" seams!
Are you machine piecing these? That seems daunting to me. I love the scrappiness!
It looks great so far, Katy. I really like the shapes.
Great looking quilt…and the fabrics are so right for tradition.
I love these pieces but the name cracks me up!
Looks like a wonderful start on an interesting quilt.
This is going to be a great quilt! What fun fabrics you have used. Did you use a die cutter to cut all of the hexies?
I love the elongated hexagons.

David Robidoux (from Reading, Pennsylvania) is an American score composer. He writes film scores for various sporting films and networks, and primarily composes for NFL Films.

Career
After graduating from Berklee College of Music with degrees in audio engineering and film scoring, Robidoux began working for NFL Films in 1991 as an audio engineer, and began composing alongside music director Tom Hedden, who had joined the company the year before. Their first score, 75 Seasons: The Story of the National Football League, earned them the Emmy Award for Best Musical Score. They would win four more Emmys for 75 Seasons, along with the productions Favre 4ever, Emmitt Smith: Run With History, NFL Century: In Their Own Words and Unitas.

Altogether, Robidoux would win nine Emmys for Outstanding Achievement in Music Composition/Direction, and was also nominated for the News and Documentary Award category for his score on Blood From A Stone, about diamonds from The Holocaust. Robidoux has since then gone on to create more than 850 compositions for NFL Films. In 2000, Robidoux worked with vocal group Boyz II Men on the song So Amazing. Four years later, Robidoux worked with music producer/mixer Alan Meyerson to compose Thunder, which became NASCAR's official theme music, the first time the association has had one. The music became used in NASCAR broadcasts starting with the 2004 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series season in copyright tags and introductions for international broadcasts. The theme would also be used in EA Sports' NASCAR video games starting with that year's NASCAR 2005: Chase for the Cup (which uses a rock version of the theme). The following year, a modified version of the music was used in the film Herbie: Fully Loaded (which mixes the "Thunder" theme with the Herbie theme) Also in 2005, Robidoux created The Lombardi Trophy Theme, which became the official theme of the Super Bowl. After the launch of NFL Network, Robidoux worked on the thematic branding of the network, and composed the theme music for Thursday Night Football, and also composed for the NFL's Major League Baseball network counterpart's Thursday Night Baseball. He also composed the score for the EA Sports video games NASCAR 2005: Chase for the Cup and Madden NFL 08. He is the composer for HBO television series Hard Knocks, with the Kansas City Chiefs edition winning him an Emmy; Robidoux again worked with HBO on the documentary Lombardi. Another television series he worked on is Nicktoons' NFL Rush Zone: Guardians of the Core. In 2007, Robidoux composed the music for America's Game: The Super Bowl Champions. In 2011, Robidoux, coordinated by NFL Senior Vice President of Events Frank Supovitz (who had worked with Robidoux to create a presentation theme for the Lombardi Trophy presentation for Super Bowl XL in 2006), wrote a musical score for NFL Films dubbed by company president Steve Sabol as Echoes of Eternity, which was played at the Pro Football Hall of Fame bust unveilments.

Honors
In 1992 and 1995, Robidoux was awarded the SESAC Television Award Composer of the Year. In 1999, Robidoux received an International Monitor Award for the Philadelphia Festival of World Cinema trailer score. He also won Monitor awards for the documentary Harley Davidson and television show Grunt & Punt in engineering and sound design. He has also won Telly Awards and Aurora Awards.

Early Departures: Pac-12
April 17, 2015 Jacob Cook Leave a comment
Some outstanding players in the Pac-12 conference are turning to the NBA draft as the next step of their basketball lives. I think the conference has at least four players that could hear their names called on draft day.
Stanley Johnson, SF, Arizona
Almost a sure Top 10 pick on draft day, Johnson played well in his freshman season posting 13.8 points and 6.5 boards. He has a lot to his physical make-up at 6-8, 243 pounds. He developed his game over the year and got better, which is something that makes him appealing to pro teams. He needs some polish on offense but can ultimately be an all-star defensive player. He has the size to guard up on many other smaller positions at the pro level.
Jakob Poeltl, C, Utah
The big man had a great year starring as one of the most efficient centers in the NCAA. The 7-0, 235-pound 19-year old put on an impressive show knocking down his 67.9 field goal percentage. With 9.2 points per game and adding 6.8 rebounds with 1.9 blocks, he will look intriguing for a team without an all-star big man. Put him in a 48-minute NBA-level game and watch his numbers float with that awesome efficiency. You can find him in the first round by most mock drafts.
Kevin Looney, PF, UCLA
A guy that can do it all, he leaves as a freshman. Some would argue he should stay to show off some athleticism but he's ready to roll. At 19, he could find a home in the late first round. He could develop into a project player that could be boon or doom for his lucky suitor. The 6-9, 220-pound kid had some all-around stats with 11.6 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.3 steals and nearly 1 block per game. He also shot 47 percent from the field and 41 percent from 3-point range, showing he can do it all. He could be one of the more ascending players in the draft if he bulks up and gets on the right team.
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, SF, Arizona
Hollis-Jefferson is worth picking up in the second round. Any desperate team could consider him anywhere from late first to early second. He was possibly one of college basketball's best defenders last year but lacks offensive steam. He can get down the court and is very athletic. He stands 6-7 and 212 pounds. He averaged 11.2 points with 6.8 boards per game, but the numbers don't show his true athleticism. He will probably only project as a role player or sixth man with his defensive abilities. He would really have to work on his offensive game if he wants to be more. I wouldn't spend a first-round pick on him, but for a team that wants someone to groom, he could be their guy.
Worth noting
Guard Delon Wright (senior) from Utah will declare for the draft. Although he isn't an early departure, it is worth noting since he should go in the first round.
Brandon Ashley from Arizona is declaring for the draft. I doubt he makes it into the draft with his injury history but someone could take a chance on him after 12.2 points and 5.2 rebounds per game last season.

The Christmas Quilt by Vannetta Chapman
The Christmas QuiltAbingdon Press (October 15, 2013)byVannetta Chapman
Mid-October
Mifflin County, PA
Annie tried to quiet the nervousness in her stomach. She
pressed her hand against the fabric of her new dress—her
wedding dress. The fabric's bright blue color reminded her of the clear morning sky outside. From the upstairs window, she could see much of her parents' farm—the recently harvested fields, the barn, the yard, and the rows of benches where her family and freinden were waiting. The lane stretched past it all and led to the road that would take her to Samuel's, to her new life.
Soon she would be Annie Yoder.
A light tap at the door caused her to turn. Leah peeked inside. "Can I come in?"
"Ya. I was watching out the window, trying to freeze this moment in my mind."
Leah joined her there, linking their arms together. One year younger, slightly thinner, her hair a shade lighter, they could have been sisters. Annie's brother, Adam, had been courting her for over a year and already she felt like one of the family. Afraid her knees might give out, Annie sat on the bed.
"You and I will be sisters soon, before the noon meal."
Leah reached forward and tucked a wayward curl into Annie's kapp. No matter how she pinned her hair, it insisted on escaping. Last night Samuel had confessed he'd loved her the moment she'd stepped into her father's room, when she'd come home to nurse Jacob, and he'd first seen her hair loose and cascading beneath her nurse's cap.
"You've known this for months," Leah reminded her.
"Ya, my mind knew, but today my stomach finally under- stands." She ran her hand over the hand-stitched quilt cover- ing her bed, the bed she would no longer sleep in once she was Samuel's fraa.
"I'm nervous, too. The crackers I had for breakfast helped."
"I couldn't swallow a thing." Annie studied the blue and yellow pinwheel pattern of the quilt. "Do you think these feelings are normal?"
"It's the excitement. Think of all Gotte has in store for us. It seems Adam and I have waited for so long, and I know Samuel would have been content to marry you months ago—"
"I was so surprised when he asked me on Christmas."
"Today we begin our new lives."
Annie smiled as a calm assurance settled her nerves. "By this time next year we could have a family of our own."
"We're marrying on the same day." Leah stood and straightened her blue dress. "Perhaps we'll also share the day our babies are born."
Mid-November
Annie and Leah strolled along the sidewalk, peeking in the windows of the shops, enjoying the afternoon sunshine.
"When was the last time we had a day that didn't include freezing temperatures and snow dusting the doorstep?" Leah stopped suddenly as two young boys playing a game of tag ran around her.
"Maybe Saturday was the wrong day to come to town though. A weekday might have been better." Annie stepped closer and scowled after the boys. "Less traffic. Less kinner."
"It's not their fault I'm as big as Adam's workhorse."
"I am! Look at me . . ." Leah rested her hands on her stomach, which was quite large. She'd recently begun her seventh month of pregnancy, but a stranger might think she was in her final week.
"Belinda told you—"
"Twins take up more room. Ya, I know. But, Annie, I can't even put on my own shoes. Adam has to do it for me." Leah stuck out her bottom lip and lines formed across her forehead.
Annie knew that look—pure misery.
"I should have stayed home."
"You should have done no such thing. Let's go on to the general store, then stop by mamm's shop for some tea. Being out is gut for you and the babies."
"Says Nurse Annie—"
"Yes, she does."
"Who is four months pregnant and still not showing?"
The smile spread across Annie's face until she was giggling. Then they were both laughing, behaving like schoolgirls. Two pregnant women, standing in the middle of the sidewalk and causing traffic to stream around them.
"Four and a half months," Annie corrected Leah. "And she moved last night. Samuel and I both felt her."
"She? Of all people, you should know better than to predict whether your baby is a girl or boy."
"You're right, but Samuel seems so certain. After listening to him for four months, I've fallen into the habit of saying she." Annie hooked her arm through Leah's and pulled her along the sidewalk. "I need to purchase the lavender fabric for the nine- patch crib quilt I'm making you, and I happen to know Rachel received a shipment earlier this week."
"Oh, do we have to? I'm not sure what I need today is an encounter with Samuel's sister-in-law."
"I think she's mellowing." Annie whispered as they pushed their way into the general store, causing the small bell above the door to announce their arrival.
Instead of answering, Leah gave her the look. It was enough. After nearly three years back at home, back in Mifflin County, Annie had learned to read most of the unspoken cues from her sister-in-law. Packed with all of their previous conversations about Rachel, it said you know she hasn't changed at all and we'll do our best to love her anyway at the same time.
Annie didn't talk to many people about Rachel—her mother, Leah, and, of course, Samuel. No one had the answer, but they all knew prayer was the one thing capable of healing the wounded places in Rachel's heart. Until those places mended, chances were she would remain difficult and even occasionally somewhat nasty.
When they entered the store, a thousand memories surrounded Annie. Her family had shopped at the general store for as long as she could remember, but her recollection and what her eyes saw told two different stories.
The store she had visited as a child was crowded with delightful items in every available spot. Like most Plain folk, Annie had learned not to covet and to appreciate what she had rather than focus on what she didn't. Growing up, the general store had been owned by Efram Bontrager. She remembered it clearly—it didn't prick her desires as much as it sparked her imagination. When she walked over the doorstep, she'd always imagined herself stepping into an Englisch fairy tale. He carried supplies for Amish and Englisch alike, so all manner of things were on his shelves. Annie's favorite spot for years had been Efram's book nook in the front corner near the window. Her brother Adam had loved the old-fashioned candy counter with its jars of delicious penny candy.
Most of those items had vanished.
Two years ago Rachel Zook, Samuel's sister-in-law, had moved from Ohio—after her husband died. Annie knew from comments Samuel made it had not been a happy marriage. Rachel never talked about her life before moving—so Annie had no way of knowing if she was still mourning her husband or regretting that her two boys were being raised without the help of a father. There was a third possibility. Perhaps Rachel had fallen into a habit of discontent. She had simply shown up in Mifflin County one day. Efram had decided to put the general store up for sale so he could move closer to his family. Families in the community were hardly aware of Efram's plans, when Rachel bought the store and settled into the upstairs apartment with her boys.
The store had changed.
Rachel's store was clean and orderly, and was stocked with items she was certain would appeal to the maximum number of customers. In other words, there were no surprises. The charm was gone.
Annie had to admit the place was cleaner.
"Leah, I'm surprised to see you out today." Rachel sniffed from her place behind the counter. Tall, thin, with a beautiful complexion only the scowl on her face could ruin, Rachel was dressed in her usual gray dress and black apron.
Why the sniff? Did she have a perpetual cold? Or was she suggesting they smelled bad? Annie knew they didn't, but she was tempted to check. Her mind went back to a psychology class she'd taken while pursuing her nursing certification, during the time she'd lived with her aenti, among the Englisch. The psychology instructor would have had a good time with some of Rachel's mannerisms.
"And Annie. I thought you were helping Belinda deliver the infant to the family on the south end of our district, though why Samuel would allow you to go scurrying around the county in your condition—"
"Gudemariye, Rachel." Annie aimed to keep her voice low and calm, as if she were speaking to a child. An image of Kiptyn immediately jumped to her mind, but she pushed it away. Although she'd had letters from her former patient for three years, she hadn't seen him since she'd left Philadelphia. She still missed the children she once worked with, and today wasn't a good time to focus on that loss. Today she needed to concentrate on making Leah's outing a pleasant one.
I would love to get a glimpse of this story. The blurb alone makesme want to know what happens to Leah and her little preemie and how Annie's quilt affects them all.

God is a God of second chances still when is it okay for us to offer it. When should we be open to giving something or someone a second chance. There are so many scenarios and it's best to look at both sides of the coin. First and foremost pray to God for me many situations in my past would have went smoother had I done this. As everyone can tell I'm an optimist and a realist as well it's like driving you have to be an offensive and defensive driver. Another thing about me is that I can be incredibly stubborn it takes a lot for me to give up on anyone or anything however when I do I'm done.
We have to evaluate what's worth giving something another try and what isn't. It takes removing the blinders and being completely honest about a situation. For instance like being in a relationship or marriage and our mate hurts us. Now let's be clear anytime we take a chance in love there's a chance of getting hurt maybe not intentionally it still happens. I guess it's about looking at what took place and filtering whether it was a choice or a mistake. Like with cheating it is a choice always still what made the person cheat its a selfish act absolutely I believe in scratching beneath the surface always. Did the person who cheated feel ignored? Were they deprived of intimacy? Is the person who cheated selfish? Whatever answer that you come up with is how you move forward.
Forgiveness is something that we must do it's not just for the person who hurt us but for us as well. When we forgive it sets us free from bitterness. We should not confuse forgiveness with trusting a person again. To forgive is to not hold a grudge and trusting leaves room for the opportunity of a second chance. Just because we forgive a person it doesn't mean that we allow ourselves to be hurt again.
Thanks for sharing my post. Blessings!
It's a wonderful piece worthy of re-blogging.. I pray you have a wonderful Thanksgiving .
I pray that you experience the same! Blessings!

As an Editorial Writer for TalentEgg's Career Incubator blog in 2016, Jessica Huynh provided job advice for university students and recent graduates.
Unless you've left everyone and everything that you've ever known to start a new life in a foreign country, it's impossible to fully understand the sacrifices an immigrant parent makes when they move countries to provide their children with all the opportunities an economically stable country can offer.
Many newcomers to Canada struggle to find fulfilling occupations, stunted by their lack of English communication skills and credentials that aren't recognized in their new country. What drives them to push forward is the hope that their children will have enriching futures.
As the child of first-generation Canadians, I have always tried to understand the sacrifices my parents made to provide me better opportunities. My parents pushed me to pursue a career in medicine because it meant professional and financial stability. I recited this belief until it became an integral part of my identity.
After coming out the other side, I can tell you that it takes true self-reflection, bravery and optimism to admit to your parents (and yourself) that you feel unfulfilled. Here is my guideline to finding your inner calling and being honest about what you really want!
Following your passion is definitely easier said than done. Understandably, not everyone is able to do what they love; unforeseen events can arise and impact our daily outlook on life. That's why it is important to continuously check in with yourself and ask: What makes me happy?
To answer this question, look at it at from a micro and macro level. Does cooking or hiking make you happy? Does making meaningful connections with people warm your heart? Do you really love spending time with your family? Make a list of all the things, activities, people and ideas that bring joy to your life– it could be the answer to your future career.
Similarly, keeping a checklist of what makes you unhappy can be equally beneficial. Does working with the public irk you? Do you hate working after hours? Do noisy children grind your gears?
Figuring out your likes and dislikes can go a long way in helping you understand what makes you unique as a professional.
What drives you and ignites your passion?
What do you enjoy doing in your free time? Are there any hobbies or favourite activities that bring you joy?
What topics are you knowledgeable about?
What do other people turn to you for? Are you known as an "expert" on something in your social circles?
What topics draws your attention when you're browsing the internet?
What kind of websites do you keep coming back to?
What do you want to learn more about? What fascinates you?
What kind of society do you wish the world operated within? If you can change anything about the world, what would it be?
Answering these questions can help kickstart your journey to understanding your passion. If you can, try thinking of more questions and chronicle your responses in a way that allows you to read and analyze them all at once. Your passion lies within your answers.
After reflecting on your interests, researching is your next step. Look for viable careers that are related to your passions and investigate what you need to do to get into them. Here's a starter list on the questions you should answer about possible professional pathways.
What are the skills and qualifications required? How can you obtain them?
What is the starting salary? Are you comfortable with this amount?
What is the survivability of this market? Is it likely that this field will still have a lot of opportunities when you are ready to enter the workforce?
Would you need to relocate? Are there specific geographic areas where this job is in higher demand?
What could you bring to the table that others do not?
How does this career align with your goals?
What are the challenges and obstacles that must be overcome?
Remember– the more you research you do, the more certain you will be of your decision to change career paths.
So you've picked your new career path! Now what do you do?
Picture your ideal situation one year later. Where are you studying? Are you working? What kinds of activities are you taking part in? Once you note these details, backtrack to the present and outline what you need to do in order to accomplish them in real life. For example, if you want to be studying graphic design, apply for a local program. Once you break down your dream into clear steps, it'll be much easier to make it a reality.
Outline everything you need to do to put yourself on the road to success. This is a practical guideline to help you stay focus on your short term and long term goals. First, ask yourself: Where do I see myself in a 1 year, 2 years, 4 years, and 8 years?
From here, divide the first year into monthly goals. What do you need to be doing in order to get to where you want to go? It is crucial that you are realistic; thus, create a backup plan in the event things don't turn out as you expected.
Begin putting your plan to action; however, start small. Realize if this is what you want (despite your parent's disapproval), you may have to be your own biggest supporter. This may mean working part time jobs, freelancing, job shadowing, or seeking an academic advisor to become more confident in your decision.
What can you do to gain experience and legitimize your dedication? Now is the time to take action and make your dreams a reality.
It may seem like revealing your new career plans to your family this late into the process is going behind their backs, but major life revelations don't happen overnight. In other words, it takes time to build courage to tell the ones you love your plan, and to be confident enough to not let them dissuade you from following your dreams.
Explain your passion and reassure them of your plan. This small step will reassure them about how serious you are about pursuing a new goal; share your research with them and patiently answer any inquiries they may have. Finally, you can showcase the work you have been putting in and the results of your effort; your planning and dedication will help convince them that you know what's best for your life.
It can be difficult to see progress, or to not compare your progress with others. Remind yourself of your goals and ambitions. It can be emotionally draining to be rejected, especially when you're first starting in your new field, but have perseverance! Set milestones and celebrate appropriately to encourage yourself to keep going. Think about why you decided to switch careers in the first place, and let that reason be your motivation.
One thing you should always keep in mind is that at no point are you locked in a field or career. There appears to be an imaginary deadline and time frame in which you can and cannot change your path, but that is simply not true. By avoiding comparison with others, you can move at your own pace. Sure, there will be different obligations and responsibilities when you change careers later in life, but it is never too late to choose happiness.

New Delhi: The Indian Air Force (IAF) is set to celebrate its 86th anniversary today. The IAF has organised a grand Parade cum Investiture Ceremony at Ghaziabad's Hindon Air Force Station, said a report on Zeenews. Air Chief Marshal BS Dhanoa, Chief of the Air Staff will be present apart from various other dignitaries and veterans. (Also read: 'Rafale, S-400 Like Booster Dose For Force') Also Read - India Clears Tejas Jet Deal Worth Rs 48K Crore, PM Says Step to Strengthen Movement for 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat'
The celebrations include a parade, an air show which will have vintage aircraft, modern transport aircraft and frontline fighter aircraft. The air show will begin at 8 AM with flag bearing skydivers of the famous AKASH GANGA Team dropping out of AN-32 aircraft.

Flypast will include Mi-17 V5 and Rudra helicopters, Dornier, C-130J and C-17 transport aircraft, Jaguar, Bison, MiG-29, Mirage-2000 and SU-30 MKI fighter aircraft. The other aircraft to be part of the flypast will be Dakota, Tiger Moth and Harvard of the IAF Vintage flight. Light Combat Aircraft will also carry out an aerobatic display, said the report.

Meanwhile, MiG-29 is back with an upgrade and it has more teeth now, said reports. The aircraft is now capable of effecting mid-air refuelling and is compatible with latest missiles. It can launch multi-dimensional attacks, Flight Lieutenant Karan Kohli, who is deployed at Adampur Air Force Station, told PTI.
The aircraft, even in the previous version, played an important role during the Kargil War of 1999. Last week, the upgraded MiG-29 showcased its combat capabilities at Admapur Air Force Station. "With the upgrade, as compared to previous 'legacy version' of the MiG-29 bought under the emergency clause in the early 1980s, the fighter jets are capable to give befitting response," said an official, requesting anonymity, when asked about any possible two-front war with China and Pakistan.
The IAF chief has reiterated often enough that the force was reeling under a severe shortage of fighter aircraft. He has said the force currently had 31 squadrons of fighter jets against the sanctioned strength of 42 squadrons. "Even when we do have 42 squadrons, we will be below the combined numbers of two of our regional adversaries," he had said. The IAF has three squadrons of MiG-29 fighter jets in operation, two of them at the Adampur Air Force Station. One squadron comprises 16-18 aircraft.

Nicky Morgan's retreat on total academisation by 2022 is a humiliation. Like Gove before her, she now has to face reality: right wing ideology does not make good education policy. All the rhetoric about choice, markets and autonomy are really just hot air. The market cannot be trusted to deliver high quality education for all.
The Conservative government's announcement that every school will be an academy by 2020 heralds the final episode in the destruction of democratically accountable state education.
When Sally Morgan, Labour peer, was ousted as the Chair of Ofsted, she claimed it was a party political move by the current Secretary of State. His current favoured candidate appears to be the multi-millionaire Tory Donor David Ross, Chairman of Carphone Warehouse who leads the David Ross Education Trust. How could he manage the conflict of interest given that his trust runs a chain of 25 academies?


"The Nephilim (giants) were in the earth in those days," the narrator tells us, quoting the bible. From that line, meant to lend the film austerity, perhaps gravitas, we get Eegah, a sixties rock and roll picture with a giant caveman named Eegah (Kiel) running through it. Roxy Miller (Manning) discovers the prehistoric man driving idly one summer day. He doesn't hurt her, and when she returns to town to tell her neighbors, they assume she's crazy. Her father and lame-brained boyfriend (Arch Hall Sr. and Jr.) take her seriously enough to investigate. What ensues is basically a really pale version of King Kong. Eegah, so named because it's the only thing he says, seems to care for Roxy, although unlike King Kong's surprising tenderness, Eegah's infatuation seems awfully assaultive. The technical aspects of this film are terrible. Sound and visuals conspire to make Eegah an all-time terrible movie. The soundtrack is emblematic of the film as a whole: so bad it's good. My question throughout was where was Eegah for the thousand years in between his era and the time the main characters' found him? No one else in all that time ever saw him? It's not like he was frozen in a block of ice. He was barely even hiding. One of life's unanswerable questions, I suppose.
I remember seeing this at the 50 cent matinee as a kid. I needed lots of popcorn to get through it.
Haha. I can't imagine seeing it as a kid.

The critical factors affecting typical organophosphate flame retardants to mimetic biomembrane: An integrated in vitro and in silico study.
Home » Topics » Drug Discovery » Research » The critical factors affecting typical organophosphate flame retardants to mimetic biomembrane: An integrated in vitro and in silico study.
Summary of "The critical factors affecting typical organophosphate flame retardants to mimetic biomembrane: An integrated in vitro and in silico study."
Organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) have been reported to induce cytotoxicity in a structure-dependent manner. The toxic effects may be due to the damage of biomembrane integrity and/or the interference of membrane signal pathway. In this study, the damages of fifteen typical OPFRs (chlorinated phosphates, alkyl phosphates, aryl phosphates, and alkoxy phosphates) to mimetic biomembrane were determined by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The molecular structure descriptors that characterized the action mechanisms were screened by stepwise regression. The six molecular descriptors (MATS7e, DLS_05, Mor19m, Mor22v, Mor12v and MATS8m) were screened to study the actions between OPFRs and mimetic biomembrane. A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model was developed by the partial least squares (PLS) method. Statistical results indicated that the QSAR model had good robustness and mechanism interpretability. The distribution of atomic electronegativities (MATS7e) and atomic masses in three dimensional spaces (Mor19m) were the key factors influencing the actions between OPFRs and simulated biofilms. The compounds with strong electron-withdrawing property could invade the inner layer of membrane and destroy its integrity. High levels of steric hindrance could impair the damage capacity caused by electronegativity. Moreover, drug-like index (DLS_05), spatial structures of particle (Mor22v, Mor12v) and atomic masses (MATS8m) also affected the actions. The results revealed the mechanism of the actions of OPFRs with simulated biofilms and elucidated the key structural characteristics affecting the actions of OPFRs, which could provide theoretical basis for ecological risk assessment of OPFRs.
Uptake and translocation of organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) by hydroponically grown wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).
Organophosphate flame retardants emitted from thermal treatment and open burning of e-waste.

Billboard Online has a short article on Roxette's new album. They don't have very much more to say than EMI's press release had, but Billboard does tell that the album "is scheduled for a worldwide release on April 2, and in the U.S. the following day via Edel Records."

Las islas Sawabi  conocidas también como Seven Brothers, los «Siete hermanos»), son un grupo de pequeñas islas situadas en la costa este del Cuerno de África, en el estrecho de Bab-el-Mandeb, que separa el mar Rojo del océano Índico. Administrativamente, las islas pertenecen a la República de Yibuti.

Buceo

Los fondos marinos son conocidos, pero poco practicados, y el buceo está lejos de alcanzar el desarrollo industrial observado en Egipto. Cada semana, un crucero anclado en la isla Grande (Khadda Dabala), permite a una veintena de buceadores explorar el mundo submarino de la isla del Este, la isla del Sur, de Tolka, Boeing o la isla Ronde (Redonda). La séptima isla está representada por una península, Ras Siyan, cuyo relieve se separa de la costa de Yibuti.

Los pescadores y los discretos comerciantes yemenís que viven del pequeño tráfico usan estas islas áridas y volcánicas como una etapa en su paso por el estrecho de Bab-el-Mandeb, que dura 40 minutos en sus falúas con motores de gran potencia.

El estrecho de Bab-el-Mandeb, literalmente, «Puerta de las Lamentaciones», de 29 km de ancho y unos 130 m de profundidad, es una zona turbulenta. Un sistema de contracorrientes sobre dos costas predomina: el agua de superficie se engolfa en el mar Rojo, mientras que por debajo desagua un agua hipersalina.

La fauna submarina está representada por fondos coralinos, varios nudibranquios, las especies de peces que habitualmente se encuentran en el mar Rojo y el océano Índico, unos cuantos tiburones grises de arrecife, tiburones dormidos y tiburones de punta blanca.

En el vecino golfo de Tadjoura puede ser observado el tiburón ballena en el momento de su migración en noviembre.

In Her Own Right
I'm reading this terrific book by Elizabeth Badinter, a little every day and it's at once a great exercise and fascinating in its own right. The book is a history about the 18th century scholars and philosophers of the Académie française, their writing, quarrels, vanity and thirst for fame that led to all manner of behavior that looks positively decorous by today's standards. The scientific nationalism she describes is curious but understandable in the context of the newtonians versus cartesians. Badinter had once petitioned the Mayor of Paris about Madame du Châtelet, who was known as Voltaire's lover though Badinter insisted she should be known as France first female intellectual:
Educated at home, the young Émilie learned to speak six languages by the time she was twelve, and had lessons in fencing and other sports. Even from a young age she was fascinated most by science and math, much to her mother's displeasure. Such interests were not viewed as proper for young ladies, and her mother even threatened to send her away to a convent. Fortunately, her father recognized her intelligence and encouraged her interests, arranging for her to discuss astronomy with prominent scientists he knew.
Émilie also had a flair for gambling, applying her talent at mathematics to give herself an advantage. She used her winnings to buy books and laboratory equipment for her scientific investigations.
When she reached age 18, she knew she had to get married, and she accepted the proposal of Marquis Florent-Claude du Châtelet, a distinguished army officer. This was a convenient arrangement for Émilie, because Châtelet was often away from home, leaving her free to indulge her interests in studying math and science on her own.
She was also free to carry on an affair with the writer Voltaire, one of the few men who appreciated her intelligence and encouraged her scientific pursuits. Émilie du Châtelet and Voltaire renovated Châtelet's large estate house in the countryside. The house included several rooms for scientific equipment and space for experiments, and a large library holding over 20,000 books, more than many universities at the time.
Although she was frustrated at being excluded from scientific society and education because she was a woman, she was able to learn mathematics and science from several renowned scholars, including Pierre-Louis Maupertuis and Samuel Konig, by inviting them to her house.
In 1737, after several months of conducting research in secret, she entered a contest sponsored by the French Academy of Sciences on the nature of light, heat and fire, submitting her paper Dissertation sur la nature et la propagation du feu. In it she suggested that different colors of light carried different heating power and anticipated the existence of what is now known as infrared radiation. She did not win the contest, but her paper was published and was positively received by the scientific community.
She also developed a strong interest in the work of Isaac Newton, which was somewhat controversial at the time in France, where Cartesian philosophy was favored over Newton's ideas. Émilie and Voltaire jointly wrote a book, Elements of Newton's Philosophy, which explained Newton's astronomy and optics in a clear manner for a wide French readership. Only Voltaire's name appeared on the book, but he acknowledged her important role.
Émilie also worked on another manuscript, Foundations of Physics, in which she considered the philosophical basis of science and tried to integrate the conflicting Newtonian, Cartesian, and Leibnizian views.
One of her most important contributions to science was her elucidation of the concepts of energy and energy conservation. Following experiments done earlier by Willem 's Gravesande, she dropped heavy lead balls into a bed of clay. She showed that the balls that hit the clay with twice the velocity penetrated four times as deep into the clay; those with three times the velocity reached a depth nine times greater. This suggested that energy is proportional to mv2, not mv, as Newton had suggested.
While conducting her scientific work, Émilie du Châtelet still carried out her duties as a mother to her three children and as a hostess for her many visitors so she was always busy, and had little time for sleep.
At age 42 Émilie du Châtelet discovered she was pregnant. At that time, a pregnancy at such an old age was extremely dangerous. Knowing she would likely die, she began working 18 hours a day to complete her biggest project, a French translation of Newton's Principia, before she died.
For many years, hers was the only translation of Newton's Principia into French, amazing considering the context and just goes to show how obtuse we can be, even at the heights of civilization.

Q: Fiddler HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized I have local Web API project which is NOT running through local IIS. To run the project I use F5 in Visual Studio 2013.
Using Fiddler, I keep getting:
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized

#   Result  Protocol    Host    URL Body    Caching Content-Type    Process Comments    Custom  88  401 HTTP    localhost:52787 /api/values 6,180   private text/html; charset=utf-8    fiddler:10724

I know I am supposed to get 200 but I am not. Where should I check what I am doing wrong?
Here is a screenshot from a browser. I am getting this when I go back to Fiddler to see the results, I just type http://localhost:52787/api/helloapi into URL (in a browser) and press enter:

And here is what I get when I go through Fiddler manually composing GET:

I have the option Automatically Authenticate checked.

A: When you say "using Fiddler", what exactly do you mean?
If you are manually composing the request using Fiddler's Composer, either add an Authorization header yourself, or click the Composer's Options tab and check the Automatically Authenticate box.

A: I just had the same Problem. In my case it was caused by a deny clause in the web.config that forced all users to be authenticated. This works well in a browser because this handles the authentication behind the scenes and sends an appropriate authorization Cookie. In Fiddler this handshake does not take place and hence the 401. In the development environment add this to your web.config and it should work.
<system.web>
       <authorization>
           <allow users="?" />
      </authorization>
</system.web>

A: I know this is an older post but if someone is still looking for an answer (like me) and the above answers did not resolve the problem then try this solution -
The above answers didn't work in my dev env which consists of VS 2017 and VSTS as I already had the <authorization> element set correctly in my web.config file. After a few hit and trials I figured that the source of the problem was somewhere else.
I needed to make the following change to "applicationhost.config" file which can be usually found under the path "C:\Users\xxx\Source\Repos\yyy\yyy\.vs\config" -
Locate the <anonymousAuthentication> element and make sure the "enabled" attribute is set to "true"  as under:
       <system.webServer>
            <security>
                <authentication>
                    <anonymousAuthentication enabled="true" />
                    <windowsAuthentication enabled="true" />
                </authentication>
            </security>
        </system.webServer>

A: It happens because you have an Authorize attribute on your ValuesController
[Authorize]
public class ValuesController : ApiController
Just remove [Authorize] attribute on ValuesController

Prominent Memphis priest and youth advocate the Rev'd Don Mowery, BDS '56, died recently. A graduate of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga as well as of Berkeley, Mowery was ordained in 1957 at St. Andrew's in Nashville, where his work with the young began.
In 1963 he was called to Memphis to join the board of directors of Youth Service Memphis. Mowery spent the next three decades building Youth Service Memphis into a viable and dynamic organization, one that over time became a model for dozens of similar programs across the country. He was also founder of BRIDGES. His "spiritual networking" led to the formation of youth camping programs, youth integration, and youth training programs for underprivileged and troubled youth. Among his many accomplishments, he also received 13 Freedom Foundation awards before his retirement in 1995.
Father Don, as he was universally and affectionately known, continued his work as a consultant for The Urban Child Institute as well as hosting the radio program Talk It Out with Father Don, which debuted in 1970. On January 20, 2014, he received the "Be the Dream" Martin Luther King Jr. Legacy Award which recognized Father Don's lifelong commitment to youth service.
Fr. Don is survived by his loving wife of 35 years, Julie, adopted son, Tony; granddaughter, Heather and Tommy Ashford, and great-granddaughter, Holland Mae, as well as many other extended family members.

Supplier Involvement and Contract Design During New Product Development

Early supplier involvement (ESI) infuses upfront supplier resources and expertise to accelerate the research and development (R&D) timeline, and allow for risk sharing. Successful implementation of ESI in a new product development setting, however, remains elusive due to the intricacy of interfirm collaboration while dealing with unproven technology and market uncertainty. Extending from prior ESI studies on supplier selection, resource integration, and relationship management, we propose game theoretical contracting strategies to achieve manufacturer objectives, such as predictable design timelines, sufficient supplier commitment, and radical in-process innovations. Taking into account various project factors, such as revenue forecast, technical uncertainty, market competition, and team capability, we propose an incentive compatible mechanism based on real option analysis to suggest which project stage to best engage the supplier. The supplier, in turn, can follow our analysis to determine whether to participate, and if so, the appropriate level of resource commitment. The equilibrium analysis provides managerial insights into how to best balance the time-to-market mandate with the need for accruing significant innovations through supply chain partnerships.

Jackson State mascot draws penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct
Jackson State Tigers mascot

By Chuck SchilkenStaff Writer
The Jackson State mascot cost its team 15 yards after being flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct following a 33-yard touchdown pass from Jalon Jones to Warren Newman during Jackson State's home game Sunday against Bethune-Cookman.
Newman's diving catch, which gave his team a 15-7 lead midway through the third quarter, was followed by a meaningless battle for the ball between the receiver and Wildcats safety Tydarius Peters.
Well, the oversized tiger wearing the No. 7 jersey wasn't about to let that happen on its watch. The mascot was among the first out there in the back of the end zone trying to pull Peters off Newman.
But the officials weren't about to let that happen on their watch. A flag was thrown, followed by the ever-amusing announcement: "Unsportsmanlike conduct, Jackson State mascot for coming onto the field."
"Unsportsmanlike conduct, Jackson State mascot for coming onto the field."
This actually happened 😅 pic.twitter.com/jjBL12XCg3
— ESPN (@espn) September 1, 2019
The Jackson State mascot showed no remorse after the incident, but its actions may have led to a downward spiral for the Tigers. The Wildcats scored on their ensuing drive, then Jackson State fumbled the ball away on its next three drives, with two of those turnovers leading to Bethune-Cookman touchdowns. Final score: Wildcats 36, Tigers 15.
Believe it or not, this isn't the first time a mascot has drawn such a penalty in college football. Other examples include Miami's Sebastien the Ibis being flagged for hugging and kissing a player following a touchdown run during the 2001 Sugar Bowl and Oklahoma's Sooner Schooner drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that cost his team three points during the 1985 Orange Bowl.

President Shimon Peres at a memorial ceremony for former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.
Today marked the 15th Anniversary of the assassination of Prime Minister of Israel, Yitzhak Rabin. On November 4, 1995 Rabin was shot to death by a Jewish assassin, at the end of a mass demonstration in Kikar Malchei Yisrael Square in Tel Aviv in support of the peace process.
Yitzhak Rabin (1922- 1995) was an Israeli politician and general. He was the fifth Prime Minister of Israel, serving two terms in office, 1974–1977 and 1992 until his assassination in 1995. In 1994, Rabin won the Nobel Peace Prize together with Shimon Peres and Yasser Arafat.

Israel's decision to blacklist the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign and block the group's more than 400 members from entering the country has been condemned as "appalling" by its chairwoman Fatin al-Tamimi.
The Dublin-based volunteer organisation that campaigns for Palestinian rights is one of 20 activist groups to appear on the blacklist published by Israel's strategic affairs ministry on Sunday.
Individuals who hold senior positions in the blacklisted organisations along with key activists will be denied entry to Israel under a crackdown by the country on groups that call for a boycott of the Jewish state.
The blacklist targets a grassroots movement known as Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS), which criticises Israel over its policies towards the Palestinians.
"For me as a Palestinian, it means a lot that they are going to ban me from going to see my family and people. It is absolutely horrible," said Ms Tamimi who will be blocked from visiting family in Hebron and Gaza.
The campaigner, who has lived in Ireland for more than 30 years, said that she plans to make representations to the Irish Government about the ban and to write to Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney in an attempt to ensure that Palestinians in Ireland can travel freely to their homeland.
Other groups blacklisted include the France Association Palestine Solidarity, the Palestine committee of Norway and the American Friends Service Committee, a Quaker group awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1947 for assisting and rescuing victims of the Nazis.
"The boycott organisations must know that the state of Israel will act against them," said Israel's strategic affairs ministry Gilad Erdan.

While retailers roll out their Black Friday and pre-Christmas deals, and people start talking about doing their holiday shopping, you might be broke – and feeling like you're sitting there with a 600-pound gorilla in your room.
You are trying not to notice him, but he is there.
He is causing you stress and anxiety. He shows up every year around this time.
That gorilla is called Santa. And you're feeling stressed because your kids, your friends, your co-workers, family members or your spouse or significant other all have these high expectations of you — as if you're Santa, right?
They could be spoken or unspoken expectations. But they're real either way. And the expectations are clear: someone wants you to buy them presents this year, even though you're broke yet again.
Well, here are four quick ideas to deal with those expectations, avoid blowing what little money you have, and lower your holiday stress in the process.
Share your real and true budget with loved ones close to you. If they live with you, they should know the real deal, and it's best not to have them pining away for lavish gifts that you simply can't afford.
So round up your kids, your spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend, or the sister who lives with you. Show them a rough picture of your bills and at least a general idea of your income too.
Explain that money is tight and ask if there's anything special you could do, make or experience with them as your way of providing a special, personalized gift. Be clear that this is how you'd love to give them a gift – not by buying presents.
Maybe your son would love it if you'd take him to a local basketball game (a free one) at the college nearby. Or perhaps your spouse would be forever grateful if you gave him or her "the day off" and you took care of the cleaning, cooking and the kids.
You get the point. The idea is to come up with creative, meaningful ways to show your love and appreciation for those closest to you this holiday season – without gong into debt or draining your bank account.
If you're going to buy gifts – and really, you don't have to – you should ask family members and loved ones to make a brief holiday wish list including inexpensive and moderately priced items. Then explain that you will be getting each person one – yes, I said one! – single gift off that list.
Remember, making merry during the holidays doesn't have to mean a living-room full of presents.
Quality, including practicality and thoughtfulness of a gift, trumps quantity during the holidays – despite all the holiday commercials to the contrary. Those commercials and advertisements are designed simply to get you to spend, spend, spend.
If you can swing it in your family, see if your relatives are willing to sort of "pool" a gift list.
By this, I mean: can you identify gifts that the whole family can benefit from? If so, you may be able to make one meaningful purchase as opposed to many, more expensive gifts.
You might be surprised at some things your kids or your better half might be willing to forgo now, during the holidays, if they knew they could get something "better" later, or at least something that was longer-lasting.
How about no gifts, but a family vacation next summer? No gifts, but we all join the YMCA or a new health club for 1 year? No gifts, but now the kids will get a $50 per month allowance (or whatever you can afford) if they promise to also keep their grades up? No gifts, but we'll fix that ugly dent in the car so you won't be so embarrassed when I pick you up from school or work.
Again, hopefully you get the point: Delay excessive holiday spending now for a better or different payoff later.
By the way, my husband and I have successfully used this strategy. For example, one year, instead of spending ridiculous amounts of dollars on holiday gifts, the family agreed that we all would prefer a holiday getaway to Florida. Another year we took a road-trip vacation to Vermont. We still have the benefit of the nice family memories from those trips. However the clothes and junk that we purchased from Christmases past…they're long gone.
The main idea is to get yourself – and your family – ready for the onslaught of holiday marketing that occurs from November through the New Year.
Do it now so that when you are bombarded with holiday songs or relentless newscasts about holiday shopping, instead of anxiety you will feel a sense of calm and satisfaction.
You will know that not becoming a half-crazed shopper, not participating in a 5 a.m. door-buster event, and even avoiding the lure of Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales won't mean your holiday is wrecked.
On the contrary, you'll be able to put aside much of the commercialism of the holiday season and focus on what's really important: spirituality, love of family and friends, and an appreciation of all the blessings you have – regardless of your bank account.


Lumenis, world's largest energy-based medical device company for surgical, aesthetic and ophthalmic applications, organised a two-day laser workshop for head and neck oncologists at India's best cancer treatment and research centre, The Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai.
The event was designed to provide training for oncologist surgeons practicing in the field of head and neck oncology. Various doctors conducted knowledge enhancement sessions using breakthrough laser technologies namely AcuPulse DUO, used widely in trans-oral laser microsurgery.
AcuPulse DUO CO2 laser microsurgery is most beneficial in delicate and precision surgical procedures. Unlike open surgery, CO2 lasers can remove cancer with fewer disturbances to structures, nerves, and tissue. Due to the minimally invasive operative method, CO2 lasers are increasingly becoming a first line treatment of early stage airway cancers, especially in the larynx.
Professor Vinidh Paleri, Consultant Head and Neck Surgeon, The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, UK said " We' re are very thankful to Lumenis for bringing all doctors together on the same platform and help keeping the doctors abreast with the latest technology. The AcuPulse DUO is a versatile technology which enable us to address surgical challenges and broad range of clinical indications with precision".
Professor Prathamesh S Pai, Consultant Surgeon, Convener- Head Neck Disease Management Group, Department of Head Neck Surgical Oncology, Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai, said, "Lumenis has always been a front runner when it comes to imparting knowledge sharing session to the medical fraternity. Such regular workshops keep doctors abreast with the latest and path-breaking technology available in medical filed".
On the occasion, Bijal Shah, Country Manager, Lumenis India, said, "As a leader in energy based medical device market, we are proud to be associated with India's leading specialist cancer and research centre, Tata Memorial Hospital to conduct such scientific sessions, enhancing doctor's knowledge and abreast them with latest laser advancements available in market. The live demonstrations and hands on sessions organised with Lumenis technologies like AcuPulse DUO makes it more experiential and promotes real-time learning for doctors".
Along with the hands on training using laser techniques the workshop includes theoretical session like basics of laser technology, application of lasers in Head and Neck cancers, Speech and Swallowing and Narrow Band Imaging.
The other distinguished faculty of the workshop were Dr Rakesh Shrivastava, Prof Alok Thakkar, Dr Pankaj Chaturvedi , Dr Sudhir Nair, Dr Deepa Nair, Dr Gouri Deshmukh , Dr Anuja Deshmukh among others.


I have a blogging problem. Obviously, it's not that I blog too much. Despite having many ideas for posts on this, and my tech blog site, I rarely post anything. When I do write a post they tend to be poorly realized. They come off as a confused collection of disjointed thoughts. I tried to deal with this by coming up with my blogging process. The process alone has't been enough to improve my blogging. One of my main problems is the tendency to write a blog over weeks, sometimes even months; heck my windows phone blog was written over three months. And even though I have an outline, I don't write them linearly. I can look at a post I've had fermenting for months and see a collection of sentences and ideas that often don't proceed along any clear path or communicate clearly.
I've realized that I need to end the practice of the incremental blog writing. I am going to try out a new way of blogging. I am attempting to do steps 2 through 4 of my blogging process all in one sitting. The hope is that this will produce more coherent writing. I won't be wandering away into to other ideas or writing three sentences that all sound the same.
I checked to make sure the cat was napping. I sat down, put my head phones on and opened blogger. I wrote the short outline at the top and wrote these three paragraphs. Then I found a stock photo. I've decided to give myself thirty minutes to do these initial drafts. If the first draft isn't complete or flowing well by thirty minutes it might be time to reconsider that post. This post only took me 15 to do and I even got distracted a bit. We'll see how it goes.
