Exfoliated poly (Chloromethyl styrene-co-styrene)-g-polyacrylonitryle/organo- modified montmorillonite
[P(CMSt-co-St)-g-PAN/O-MMT] nanocomposite was synthesized through solution intercalation method by
using atom transfer and nitroxide mediated radical polymerization. At first, poly (chloromethyl styrene-costyrene) copolymer was synthesized by nitroxide - mediated "living" free radical polymerization (NMRP).
This chlorinated copolymer used as a macro initiators for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). These
macro initiators were polymerized acrylonitryle monomers in the presence of CuCl as a catalyst and the 2, 2'
– bi pyridine (bpy) as a legend in the tetrahydrofurane (THF) solvent at 90oC. Organophilic montmorillonite
(O-MMT) was obtained after treating by hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride salt by ion-exchange process. Finally, (PCMSt-co-PSt)-g-PMMA / O-MMT nanocomposite was prepared by solution intercalation method. The exfoliating structure of nanocomposite was probed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

The Chino Girls Water Polo team was looking to make a splash on their Senior Night hosted at home on February 5th. Following a tough season this year, the girls were looking to make the best out of their last game of the season against Montclair High School.
While the home crowd cheered for them, Chino managed to keep the game close in the first quarter with Montclair taking a 4-1 lead. In spite of a close first quarter, the rest of the game was tough on Chino with them unable to score the entire second quarter. By the end of the first half of the game Montclair held a 9-1 goal advantage.
Chino's misfortune continued into the second half only scoring one more goal, while Montclair scored six more securing a 15-2 win. Both of Chino's goals were scored by senior varsity captain Alyssa Huerta.
Even with the rough loss Chino's seniors Alyssa, Chasity, and Kyra were able to enjoy senior festivities after the match. The seniors were given bouquets and gave speeches including favorite memories, advice, and last words to teammates as proud families and friends spectated.
Assistant coach for the Girls team, Israel Sanabria, spoke on his time with the seniors, "They always brought a lot of energy to not only games but to practices, meetings, and to the team as a whole. The girls are really close and it's always a sad and proud moment to cheer for the graduating class".
Amidst groups of people gathering to get pictures with the seniors was sophomore swimmer Janeth Bernal. Bernal reminisced of her memories with the team: "Playing this year with this team was so much fun and I'm really gonna miss my seniors. I can't wait for next season".
Concluding this season with plenty of fun memories, Chino's girls water polo may have taken a loss but hold their heads up high. They close out their season with a 1-18 record.

Demasiada Felicidad (en inglés, Too Much Happiness), es una colección de cuentos de la escritora canadiense Alice Munro, publicada en agosto de 2009. Contiene diez cuentos, con el último de ellos (el cuento que le da el título a la colección), basado en la matemática rusa Sofia Kovalévskaya (1850-1891), mezclando realidad con ficción. Munro se basa en anécdotas y textos de su conocimiento para construir las historias plasmadas en sus cuentos, en los cuales, sus personajes nacen, viven, sufren y mueren con naturalidad, sin emociones intensas ni complejas artimañas.

Cuentos

Dimensiones
Doree se plantea visitar a su esposo Lloyd, recluido en una institución mental por haber asesinado a sus tres hijos. Con la ayuda de una terapeuta y un nuevo empleo en una nueva ciudad, tratará de continuar con su vida. En su tercer intento de llegar al lugar donde está Lloyd, entra y se encuentra con él. Esto se repite durante un tiempo, en el que los dos conversan pero no se dicen mucho. Doree encuentra consuelo por lo sucedido de forma inesperada, cuando Loyd le envía una carta a su lugar de trabajo, en la que le dice que tiene la certeza de que sus hijos están vivos en otra dimensión. Oculta esto a la señora Sands, su terapeuta, temerosa de que la vaya a criticar por haber continuado sus visitas a Lloyd.

Ficción
El cuento está dividido en dos partes. En la primera, Joyce y Jon viven en las afueras de un poblado de la Columbia Británica. Ella es profesora de música y él se dedica a la carpintería. Jon recibe a Edie, una alcohólica rehabilitada y aspirante a carpintera para que trabaje con él. Edie tiene una hija de nueve años. Él se enamora de Edie, terminando su relación con Joyce. En la segunda parte, Joyce se encuentra en una segunda relación con Matt, neuropsicólogo y violinista aficionado, años después de haber terminado su unión con Jon. No vuelve a tener contacto directo con él, pero se entera de algo acerca de dicha separación que la hace replantear sus actitudes en aquel entonces.

El Filo de Wenlock
Es el primer cuento de la colección narrado en primera persona. Una estudiante de la Universidad de London (la narradora), que vive en una residencia de estudiantes, conoce a Nina, con quien tendrá que compartir su habitación. Nina le cuenta su historia de vida a su compañera, contándole que se casó y fue madre muy joven. La narradora termina, sin quererlo, inmiscuida en la vida de Nina.

Pozos Profundos
Sally está casada con Alex, un geólogo, con quien tiene tres hijos: Kent, Peter y Savanna. Los cinco se van un día de excursión para celebrar que Alex publicó su primer artículo en solitario en una publicación relacionada con su profesión. Fueron a los riscos de Osler (en Saskatchewan), donde Kent cae en una grieta y se fractura los pies. Ese evento cambió la vida de Kent, a pesar de no haber sufrido secuelas físicas más graves que una cojera. No termina la universidad y pierde contacto con su familia.

Radicales Libres
Rich y Nita viven en pareja, después de que Rich dejara a su esposa Bett, quien ahora vive en Arizona. La vida de Nita cambia al fallecer Rich, quien era mucho mayor que ella. Nita padece cáncer, atravesando por terapias y consumo de medicamentos al momento de la muerte de su pareja. Ella no organizó un funeral para él, ordenando sepultarlo de inmediato. Además, empieza a percibir que ya no tiene un propósito de vida, no solo por la muerte de Rich, sino por su enfermedad. La muerte de Rich la tomó por sorpresa, pensando que —por su enfermedad— sería ella quién moriría primero. Un día, al despertar, un hombre tocó a su puerta y entró a la casa, fingiendo ser un funcionario de la empresa  local de energía eléctrica. Tanto Nita como aquel hombre sostienen una larga conversación, en la que aquel hombre le cuenta la historia de su vida.

Cara
Segundo cuento narrado en primera persona, siendo uno de los pocos de Munro donde el narrador es un personaje masculino. Un hombre (el narrador) nace con una mancha oscura en uno de los lados de su cara. Desde el día de su nacimiento, su padre manifiesta aversión hacia él, aunque también muestra hostilidad ante otras situaciones y con otras personas. Relata su vida, desde la infancia hasta la jubilación, haciendo énfasis en su amistad con Nancy, una amiga de la infancia.

Algunas Mujeres
Una mujer vieja recuerda su juventud y narra la experiencia de su primer empleo, como cuidadora de un hombre moribundo de leucemia a los trece años. El hombre es Bruce Crozier, un veterano de la segunda guerra mundial que conoció a su esposa, Sylvia, en la universidad, donde estudió historia y se licenció. Después de su boda con Sylvia (a quien se le conoce en la historia como la joven señora Crozier), él fue diagnosticado con la enfermedad. Ambos se fueron a vivir a la casa de la madrastra de él, la vieja señora Crozier. Como Sylvia trabaja en la universidad como profesora, no dispone de tiempo para cuidar de su esposo, por lo que contrata a la narradora. Dorothy —el nombre de pila de la vieja señora Crozier—, contrata a Roxanne, una masajista profesional para que la atienda en su casa. Roxanne toma confianza y decide subir a la habitación de Bruce, a quien después de conocer, le brinda tiempo ya sea conversando con él, o jugando a las damas chinas. La narradora no ve con buenos ojos la actitud despreocupada de Roxanne, a quien juzga como «una persona inferior». Roxanne y Dorothy desaprueban el hecho de que Sylvia trabaje en lugar de cuidar a su marido, como muchos habitantes del pueblo en el sur de Ontario donde el cuento toma lugar. Sin motivo aparente, el día en que Sylvia salía de vacaciones de su empleo, Bruce le pide a su cuidadora que lo encierre con llave en su habitación, que esconda la llave y se la dé a su esposa cuando ésta regrese. Después de haber terminado con sus masajes a Dorothy, Roxanne sube las escaleras y va a la habitación de Bruce, pero al ver que la puerta está asegurada con llave, comienza a preocuparse y patea la puerta. Roxanne sugiere que se debe llamar a la policiía, pero la vieja señora Crozier desaprueba dicha sugerencia, por lo que la masajista se marcha sin despedirse. Mientras se va, Dorothy le recuerda que no es ella quien manda en su casa, poniendo fin a la aparente amistad —y complicidad— que existía entre las dos. La cuidadora interpreta la preocupación de Roxanne como su miedo a la posible determinación de Bruce de cometer suicidio. Cuando Sylvia regresa le entrega las llaves, por lo que ella sube a la habitación de su marido. Más adelante baja y se encarga de llevar en su auto a la cuidadora a su casa. Al salir, la narradora nota el coche de Roxanna parqueado cerca a la salida de la casa, que se marcha al ver a Sylvia tranquila en su auto.

Mientras van en el auto, Sylvia le explica a la narradora que su marido se encerró porque estaba harto de Roxanne y Dorothy. El tono triunfal de la joven señora Crozier, hace que la ciudadora llegue a concluir que Roxanne y Sylvia estaban compitiendo por la atención de Bruce, algo que catalogó como «un premio insignificante». Para ella, todo esto representó «la carnalidad a las puertas de la muerte». Bruce muere antes de la llegada del otoño, en una casa que Sylvia rentó al lado de un lago. Roxanne se marcha con su esposo y sus tres hijos a otra ciudad, debido al empleo de éste. Dorothy sufre un derrame cerebral pero se recupera, siendo conocida después por brindar caramelos de halloween a los niños pequeños a cuyos hermanos mayores había echado de su casa. La narradora finaliza su relato con la siguiente frase: «Yo me hice mayor, y vieja».

Juego de Niños
Marlene y Charlene son dos niñas que, en su infancia, siempre eran erróneamente tomadas por hermanas mellizas aunque no tienen ningún nexo familiar. Marlene es la narradora del cuento, en el que se describe su visita a un campamento de verano, al que Charlene asiste. Ambas intercambian historias en sus primeros días allí: Charlene habla de la vez que —por accidente— miró a su hermano mayor fornicando con su novia, al entrar en su cuarto buscando al gato; Marlene le cuenta de Verna, una niña «especial» con la que compartió una casa doble. en la que vivían Marlene y su familia junto con la señora Home y Verna, su nieta. Charlene siente aversión hacia Verna, quien, según ella, la agrede y molesta cada vez que puede. Verna asiste a la misma escuela que Charlene, pero en una parte separada del resto del alumnado, donde estudian las «especiales». Charlene le anuncia a Marlene que Verna y el resto de la especiales están en el campamento, dos días antes de que termine. Después del campamento, Charlene y Marlene no vuelven a tener contacto sino hasta mucho después, cuando la primera yace moribunda —debido a un cáncer pulmonar— en un hospital de Toronto y la segunda va a visitarla por pedido de la enferma, quien le pide que contacte a un sacerdote de Guelph, su pueblo natal, para que le realice una visita. En la parte final del cuento, se da a conocer que Charlene y Marlene ahogan a Verna el último día del campamento, cuando todas las niñas asisten a la playa para darse el último baño del verano.

This biography, written by Mike Wicksteed, was first published in the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography in 1996.
Edward Walter Clervaux Chaytor was born in Motueka, New Zealand, on 21 June 1868, the first child of Emma Fearon and her husband, John Clervaux Chaytor, a runholder. Between 1880 and 1884 he attended Nelson College as a boarder. After leaving school he took up sheepfarming on the family property at Spring Creek near Blenheim. In 1886 he enlisted in the Marlborough Hussars (later the Marlborough Mounted Rifle Volunteers), and was commissioned as a lieutenant in 1889 and captain in 1893. On 17 October 1898 Chaytor married a widow, Louisa Jane Hiley, at Spring Creek. They were to have three children.
Early in 1900 Chaytor left for the South African War as part of the Third (Rough Riders) Contingent of New Zealand Mounted Rifles. In an action on 26 May at Reit Keil, for which he was mentioned in dispatches, he suffered a severe gunshot wound which shattered his right thigh-bone. Although he later rejoined his unit and took part in several engagements, the wound continued to give trouble and Chaytor, now a major, was invalided home to New Zealand in May 1901.
Chaytor returned to South Africa in February 1902 with the Eighth Contingent as a brevet lieutenant colonel commanding the South Island Regiment. The war ended on 31 May. However, Chaytor's combat experience – periods of hard soldiering spent in the saddle – had furnished him with an invaluable grounding for his later professional career. He was respected by his soldiers, primarily for demonstrating the valuable leadership trait of always being close to the action.
On his return to New Zealand in 1902, Chaytor became a major in the 1st Battalion of the Nelson Mounted Rifle Volunteers. He resigned this position in September, when he was appointed assistant adjutant general at Defence Department headquarters. He retained his brevet rank until it became permanent in 1906. In 1907 he became the first New Zealand officer to attend the British Army's Staff College at Camberley. He graduated with a glowing commendation from the college's commandant, Major General Henry Wilson. On his return to Wellington in 1910 he was appointed director of military training and education.
Chaytor's steady rise in rank continued. He was promoted to colonel in 1911 and from late 1910 commanded the Wellington Military District from its headquarters at Palmerston North. He was appointed adjutant general in July 1914. Now aged 45, his red hair was starting to recede; he had a thinnish face with a prominent Roman nose, sharp blue eyes, a slightly jutting jaw, a resolute mouth, and a moustached upper lip. His placid nature stood him in good stead in the active commands he was about to resume.
At the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914, Chaytor transferred to the staff of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force as the principal personnel and logistics officer to its commander, Major General Sir Alexander Godley. Chaytor played a pivotal planning role for two major overseas deployments. The first was the speedy assembly and dispatch of a 1,400-strong detachment which occupied German Samoa on 29 August 1914. The second, and more complex, was to raise the main body of the expeditionary force, comprising 8,427 men, 3,815 horses, and all their equipment, which sailed from Wellington on 16 October 1914. The rapid creation of the two formations represents one of the most skilful feats of organisation and administration in New Zealand's military history.
The New Zealanders sailed to Egypt, where Chaytor became assistant adjutant general and (later) acting quartermaster general of the newly formed New Zealand and Australian Division commanded by Godley. They spent several months in training before being sent to Gallipoli in April 1915. A few days after the landing, Chaytor suffered a minor head wound. On 22 May he was hit again, this time in the right shoulder and arm; the wound was serious and he was sent to the Royal Free Hospital in London.
Following his recovery, Godley, in November 1915, gave Chaytor command of the New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade in Egypt. This brigade remained behind in the Desert Column of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force when the rest of the New Zealand forces sailed for France early in 1916. Chaytor, now a brigadier, became the senior New Zealand officer in that theatre of the war. His immediate superior was an Australian, Major General Harry Chauvel. Both were tactically competent and sound leaders with similar backgrounds. They got along well together, and Chauvel rated the New Zealand Mounted Rifles his best brigade.
Nearly 18,000 New Zealanders served at various times in the almost forgotten campaign in Palestine, and Chaytor proved to be an imaginative and able commander. On 19 July 1916, in what was one of the first examples of a senior commander personally exploiting the new technology of flight, he used an aircraft to reconnoitre Turkish positions in the Sinai desert; he was slightly wounded by ground fire.
It took the Egyptian Expeditionary Force until January 1917 to clear the Sinai of Turkish forces. Chaytor's tactical self-confidence came to the fore at Rafah, the final battle in the Sinai campaign. After a hard, day-long action against a stubborn Turkish defence, the British commander, Lieutenant General Philip Chetwode, aware that Turkish reinforcements were on the way, ordered his units to withdraw from the assault on the town. Chaytor, about to launch an attack with his brigade, chose to ignore the order; in the ensuing attack the town's defences were overrun and Rafah was taken.
Chauvel was selected to command the Desert Column in April 1917, and Chaytor took over the Australian and New Zealand Mounted Division, being promoted to major general; he thus became the first – and only – New Zealander ever to exercise command of an ANZAC force at divisional level. He was knighted for his endeavours in 1918. On 16 September 1918, Chaytor was allocated an additional, division-sized formation. During the final operation of the campaign, 'Chaytor Force' captured Amman in Jordan on 25 September.
An armistice with Turkey came into effect on 31 October 1918. On his return to Wellington in 1919, Chaytor was appointed general officer commanding New Zealand military forces. The difficulties of the period of demobilisation were exacerbated by a spirit of war-weariness evident throughout the country. Nevertheless, steps were taken to create a military organisation which the country could afford, and which would be available for home defence and as the nucleus of an expeditionary force. In 1922 the Defence Department was able to begin preparing for a force of some 7,000 men to be available in the Chanak crisis.
Edward Chaytor retired in 1924 after a relatively short, but exceptionally successful, career as a professional soldier. Seven times mentioned in dispatches, he had been made a KCMG, a KCVO and a CB. Soon after his retirement he sailed for England where he lived with his family until his death at South Kensington in London on 15 June 1939. Louisa Chaytor died in 1948.


Push and unweight is one of the most useful mountain bike skill for trails riding. The techinique is commonly used for jumps or rollover obstacles such as rock section. While approaching, apply your full body weight on the pedals. Make sure the pedals are in parallel position (3 and 9 o'clock) with the ground. The push action will compress the shock and suspension, and push the tyres firmly on the ground. Just before the jump or obstacles, unweight your whole body weight. The unweight action will "release' the shock and suspension, thereby allowing the bike to float over obstacles and enjoy some air time.

In order to benefit from tax incentives on voluntary savings, deposits must normally be left in the individual account until retirement. There are two exceptions to this restriction: in Colombia and Mexico funds deposited on a voluntary basis can be cashed out at any time with six months' notice. Chile also recently modified pension legislation permitting distributions at any time, although they are subject to a tax penalty. In addition to voluntary contributions to the funded system, workers in Latin American countries can save in a variety of financial instruments.
Combined with insights from the study of household behavior and financial institutions, the second dichotomy helps in deciding the relative weights of the second and third pillars. Together these can help determine the unfinished reform agenda needed in countries that have already adopted the multipillar approach, and the options that should be considered in those that are seriously contemplating pension reform. It may even persuade obstinate nonreformers to reexamine their strategies to help elderly people achieve income security.
High contribution rates and earnings ceilings may explain why few workers have found it worth making voluntary contributions to their individual accounts in most countries, even when they are relatively liquid and offer attractive tax benefits. In addition, the operation of the savings component (both the mandatory and voluntary parts) presents some weaknesses arising primarily from high commissions, lack of international diversification, and inadequate risk management over the life cycle. Chapter 8 provides some evidence on what may be wrong with seeing the multipillar structure with its heavy reliance on mandated saving as a final structure.

Q: Python decorators on class members fail when decorator mechanism is a class When creating decorators for use on class methods, I'm having trouble when the decorator mechanism is a class rather than a function/closure. When the class form is used, my decorator doesn't get treated as a bound method.
Generally I prefer to use the function form for decorators but in this case I have to use an existing class to implement what I need.
This seems as though it might be related to python-decorator-makes-function-forget-that-it-belongs-to-a-class but why does it work just fine for the function form?
Here is the simplest example I could make to show all goings on. Sorry about the amount of code:
def decorator1(dec_param):
    def decorator(function):
        print 'decorator1 decoratoring:', function
        def wrapper(*args):
            print 'wrapper(%s) dec_param=%s' % (args, dec_param)
            function(*args)
        return wrapper
    return decorator

class WrapperClass(object):
    def __init__(self, function, dec_param):
        print 'WrapperClass.__init__ function=%s dec_param=%s' % (function, dec_param)
        self.function = function
        self.dec_param = dec_param

    def __call__(self, *args):
        print 'WrapperClass.__call__(%s, %s) dec_param=%s' % (self, args, self.dec_param)
        self.function(*args)

def decorator2(dec_param):
    def decorator(function):
        print 'decorator2 decoratoring:', function
        return WrapperClass(function, dec_param)
    return decorator

class Test(object):
    @decorator1(dec_param=123)
    def member1(self, value=1):
        print 'Test.member1(%s, %s)' % (self, value)

    @decorator2(dec_param=456)
    def member2(self, value=2):
        print 'Test.member2(%s, %s)' % (self, value)

@decorator1(dec_param=123)
def free1(value=1):
    print 'free1(%s)' % (value)

@decorator2(dec_param=456)
def free2(value=2):
    print 'free2(%s)' % (value)

test = Test()
print '\n====member1===='
test.member1(11)

print '\n====member2===='
test.member2(22)

print '\n====free1===='
free1(11)

print '\n====free2===='
free2(22)

Output:
decorator1 decoratoring: <function member1 at 0x3aba30>
decorator2 decoratoring: <function member2 at 0x3ab8b0>
WrapperClass.__init__ function=<function member2 at 0x3ab8b0> dec_param=456
decorator1 decoratoring: <function free1 at 0x3ab9f0>
decorator2 decoratoring: <function free2 at 0x3ab970>
WrapperClass.__init__ function=<function free2 at 0x3ab970> dec_param=456

====member1====
wrapper((<__main__.Test object at 0x3af5f0>, 11)) dec_param=123
Test.member1(<__main__.Test object at 0x3af5f0>, 11)

====member2====
WrapperClass.__call__(<__main__.WrapperClass object at 0x3af590>, (22,)) dec_param=456
Test.member2(22, 2)        <<<- Badness HERE!

====free1====
wrapper((11,)) dec_param=123
free1(11)

====free2====
WrapperClass.__call__(<__main__.WrapperClass object at 0x3af630>, (22,)) dec_param=456
free2(22)

A: Your WrapperClass needs to be a descriptor (just like a function is!), i.e., supply appropriate special methods __get__ and __set__.  This how-to guide teaches all you need to know about that!-)

Q: Redirecting non www to www ONLY for domain, subdomain without www How to set htaccess to such examples in a Wordpress Multisite:

*

*domain.com - redirect to - www.domain.com

*sudomain.domain.com - no redirect

I have a Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS) when my .htaccess file looks like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) wp/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ wp/$1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

A: Try:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)         http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]

A: I think you only need to ask explicit for %{HTTP_HOST} to be domain.com. All implicit conditions like »does %{HTTP_HOST} NOT start with www« will effect all subdomains too. So this should work for your case
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) wp/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ wp/$1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

Make sure, that the constant DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE and the domain attribute (in network settings) of your root blog is set to www.domain.com. The NOBLOGREDIRECT constant might also be helpful for your purposes.

A: You don't need to add any codes in htaccess file. There is very easy solution to this. In the 'Network Admin -> Settings -> Domains' page, add both the www. and non-www. versions of the domain, select the box of 'primary' for if you want to mainly use for www. or non-www. and both will be assigned to the website.

Before I get started with my review, I wanted to tell you the horror story of my previous mattress. A white van pulled up to the street of my old house and the salesman got talking to my mum. He told her that he was supposed to be delivering a mattress to a customer but she'd decided not to take it and as their warehouse was based up north asked if my mum wanted to take it for a cut down price so that it wasn't a wasted journey for him. He claimed the mattress to be worth over £500 but said he'd take £120 for it and as she had the money in cash (this was clearly his lucky day), he handed over the mattress and off he went. Once she told me what had happened, my heart sank, and I tried endlessly phoning the company for a refund but to no avail. It was so flimsy that you could both hear and feel the springs. To cut a long story short, I've been stuck with that shoddy mattress for two years and have the backache to prove it.
My mattress related prayers were answered when the guys over at Leesa offered to send me a mattress to review. As a girl who considers her bed to be her best friend, I counted down the days until it arrived. I used the ordering process on the website as to have the proper customer experience and found everything to be an absolute breeze. It takes the mattresses 3 to 5 business days to be built up and from there just a couple of days to be delivered. Mine took a total of 7 days.
Once the waiting is over and your mattress arrives, it comes packed tightly into a cardboard box. It really is astounding that a double sized mattress can fit into such a small package. It took both me and my mum to lug this up the stairs, but if there was no one else around then one person could most definitely manage it alone. Lets try and ignore my hideous carpet, we are currently renting and I dream of wooden flooring.
Once you've opened up the box and started to cut free the mattress from it's sausage-like state, it springs to life and within moments resembles a regular mattress shape. At first, I noticed a slight chemical odour, but this disappeared within a few days and was the only hint of an issue that I could find to mention. I'd say that's pretty normal with a new mattress though and is just down to it being absolutely brand new.
It takes an hour for the mattress to take shape and expand fully, but after ten minutes I found myself lazing around on it as I just couldn't remove myself after giving it an initial comfort test. I wish that words could be effective enough to describe to you the relaxation level that I'm experiencing right now. The mattress is soft enough to feel luxuriously comfortable, yet firm enough to give wonderful back support. A balance that I have never yet experienced in a mattress, aside from the ones at fancy hotels.
The milo seal of approval.
I've been trying out my Leesa for a few days now and each day I feel more like I'm sleeping on a giant marshmallow than the last. If I had the option to spend the night testing one of these out, I would have without a doubt started saving to invest in one myself. It's rang true to me just how crucial it is for your general wellbeing to have a well built mattress, we spend a third of our life sleeping, so I implore you to spend that time well.
Leesa offer a 100 night risk free trial with free delivery on all of their mattresses should you want to be completely sure that it will be the right mattress for you. Plus they donate 1 in 10 of their mattresses to charity and plant a tree for every one sold.
A Leesa double mattress comes in at £590 (including free shipping) but if you pop over to http://www.leesa.co.uk you will get £100 off your brand new mattress! For a limited time only.

Justin M. Lewis and Luke Spring tap dance at 2011 DC Tap Festival
It's not everyday a young dancer outshines a master choreographer.
In 2011, 6-year-old tap dancing prodigy Luke Spring amazed audiences at the DC Tap Festival. His mastery of complex moves was shown in the way he effortlessly mirrored his teacher and famous dancer, Justin M. Lewis.
"They had every person in that house on their feet and going crazy," Chloe Arnold, a co-founder of DC Tap Fest, told The Washington Post.
Prior to the 2011 festival, Spring was featured on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, where he stole the hearts of viewers with his soft spoken answers and loud tap moves.
Spring told DeGeneres his favorite move is "over-the-tops."
"Wow! You're really incredible," DeGeneres said to then 7-year-old Spring, before giving him a pair of orange tap shoes.
Since then, Spring has stunned television audiences on "So You Think You Can Dance" and theater patrons in the off-broadway production of "A Christmas Story, The Musical." In July 2013, he placed third in the Mini Division (7- 10 year-olds) at the New York City Dance Alliance's National Outstanding Dancer competition. He has also performed at the Tony Awards; Ford's Theater Gala; the Fred and Adele Astaire Awards; and Radio City Music Hall for the unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy S4, according to an article in The Washington Post.
"Luke's future is beyond bright," Arnold told The Washington Post. "I see dancers all over the world, and I've never seen a kid like Luke. He's executing sounds with power, force, rhythm clarity and speed. He's just phenomenal."
Spring's mother tells The Washington Post, Spring began dancing after the 4-year-old found a pair of tap shoes in the lost and found of his sisters' dance studio. He began making the same noises with his feet, as he made with his hands on the drums. It was clear from the start, Spring was a natural talent.
Justin M. Lewis, Spring's teacher since 2009 and dance partner at the DC Tap Fest in 2011, said in an interview with The Washington Post, "How do I teach a prodigy and make him better than he already is?"
One way, Lewis told The Washington Post, is by telling him the names of historic tap dancers to research.
"YouTube may have made Luke famous, but it's also a reason he's so good," reports The Washington Post.
Lewis may also be to credit. Like Spring, Lewis began dancing at age 5, after watching "Tap" with Gregory Hines, according to Inferno Dance. A D.C. native, Lewis was a member of Tappers With Attitude, with whom he danced at the Lincoln Theater, Kennedy Center, Wolf Trap, Blues Alley, The Smithsonian, National Corcoran Gallery, and The Apollo Theater in New York City, among other venues.
As a teacher-student duo, Lewis and Spring are unstoppable.

de Ski men's sprint on Jan. 5, 2011 in Toblach, Italy.
STRATTON, Vt. — Flash floods in the forecast were not enough to keep Andy Newell inside. The two-time Olympic cross-country skier and his SMS T2 teammates, along with a group of elite juniors from the Northeast, headed to the nearby Ball Mountain Dam access road to do double pole intervals on roller skis — a workout aimed at increasing speed in the last, painful part of a cross-country sprint.
After crashing in the sprint qualifier at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, Newell has every intention of winning a medal in the sprint at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games. As the only male skier in the world to earn World Cup points in every sprint this past season, his chances are good.
So with water literally weeping from the cliff above the dam road, Newell and a crew of about 30 young Nordic skiers clicked their ski boots into roller skis, grabbed their ski poles, and pushed off to do five three-minute intervals up the paved road. Using only their arms (and backs, shoulders and torsos), they flew over a half-mile up the six- or seven-percent grade. It would have been difficult to keep up on a bicycle.
Despite the incessant rain in the Northeast this summer, Newell, 29, is happy to be home — even if his ski boots haven't dried out yet. He will stay in Vermont until mid-August, giving him an uninterrupted two-month stint at home that's virtually unheard of for world-class skiers. But it was a situation he knew he needed to create after his devastating results in Vancouver in 2010.
Although cross-country's sprint race sounds like a quick dash for the line, it's really an all-day aerobic event. Athletes first ski a qualifying round on a course that's 1-2 kilometers long (and takes two to four minutes to ski). The top 30 skiers in the qualifier move on to the quarterfinals. Top two in each heat, plus two "lucky losers" move on to the semis, then six make the final. Qualifiers and heats are all held the same day, so skiers who make the finals race up to 8 kilometers at top speed and ski many more kilometers to warm up and cool down during the 45 minutes between heats — though an unlucky few spend that time curled over a bucket vomiting (as Newell did between heats in the team sprint in Vancouver). First contested on the World Cup in 1996, sprints are either classic (kick and glide technique) or freestyle (skating technique).
At the 2010 Games, it was a classic sprint, and Newell was in the best shape of his life. With two World Cup podiums on his resume, he knew he was a medal contender. And he wanted to win the qualifier. Instead, on an icy course, he crashed in a tough corner. Though he picked himself up and finished, his time was only good enough for 45th. He was devastated.
"What I learned from the whole preparation process for Vancouver was that you can't go four years without enjoying the process because you could crash out," he said.
And for Newell, who prides himself on his Vermont roots, that meant spending more time in the state that helped fuel his career. As a kids growing up in the Bill Koch League youth skiing program near his home in Shaftsbury, Vt., he heard tales of legends like Koch and Tim Caldwell training for the 1976 and 1980 Olympic Winter Games by running six hours up mountains with no water — "all these legendary stories that probably weren't even true to begin with," said Newell with a quiet laugh.
Never mind that Newell is now part of the state's skiing history — a legend himself as a two-time Olympian with three World Cup medals.
Last summer, Newell and Stratton Mountain School's head cross-country ski coach Sverre Caldwell (Tim's brother) started the SMS T2 team, an elite group of cross-country skiers that includes U.S. Ski Team members Simi Hamilton, Sophie Caldwell (Sverre's daughter) and reigning team sprint world champion Jessie Diggins. Both Newell and Caldwell attended the Stratton Mountain School for high school, and they recruited Hamilton and Diggins, as well as four up-and-comers. This elite team is the final level of what Newell calls a "full club lifestyle" in the Stratton area, where skiers from ages six to 30-plus can be part of a club or team.
"It's a model that we've tried to copy from the Europeans, and it's worked really well because it's such a cool community-based training program," Newell added.
In addition to their own workouts, the SMS T2 athletes run clinics and train with younger skiers, like the Regional Elite Group doing the double pole workout at the Ball Mountain Dam.
The SMS T2 program is working well for Newell. The 2012-13 season was his most consistent ever on the World Cup. In addition to scoring points (by finishing top-30) in all 10 World Cup sprints, he made the finals four times. He even earned points in distance races. Newell credits this consistency to both his experience on the World Cup (10 years) and consistent training in Vermont last summer, uninterrupted by traveling to camps in other parts of the world.
He also backed off on two other favorite projects: building a cabin in Weston (north of Stratton) and producing films for X Ski Films, a company he started in the early 2000s to show that cross-country skiing is cool. With what U.S. Ski Team coach Chris Grover once described as catlike reflexes and athleticism, Newell filmed himself riding the halfpipe on his skinny cross-country skis and doing backflips off jumps, as well as surfing in Costa Rica and skateboarding. He used to say that he liked to put the X in XC skiing.
Instead, Newell now occasionally works with other videographers to make short clips, such as "Dryland," a six-minute video by Chris Milliman showing parts of Newell's intense off-season workouts.
For now, Newell is focused on winning a medal in Sochi in the sprint (skate technique in this Winter Games) and team sprint. To make the finals, Newell needs a little bit of luck and a big amount of fitness.
The short, fast double pole intervals at the Ball Mountain Dam will help Newell and his teammates develop that tolerance for pain — a familiar feeling for someone with Newell's experience. The young guy on the U.S. team for years, he is now the only man on the U.S. Ski Team's A team, and he turns 30 in November.

Amin "Tacos" August Jr. (ur. 16 sierpnia 1990 w Esperanzie) – belizeński piłkarz występujący na pozycji środkowego pomocnika, reprezentant kraju, obecnie zawodnik Belize Defence Force.

Piłkarzem był również jego ojciec Amin August Sr.

Kariera klubowa
August pochodzi ze wsi Esperanza w dystrykcie Cayo. Początkowo występował w lokalnych młodzieżowych rozgrywkach w barwach zespołu Adventurers FC. W lidze belizeńskiej zadebiutował jako zawodnik Hankook Verdes, z którym wywalczył wicemistrzostwo Belize (2009 Spring). Następnie przeniósł się do San Ignacio United FC, by po pół roku odejść do stołecznego Police United FC. Asystentem trenera w tym zespole był jego ojciec, Amin August Sr. W Police United spędził kolejne siedem lat, zdobywając dwa tytuły mistrza Belize (2012/2013 Closing, 2015/2016 Opening) oraz trzy wicemistrzostwa Belize (2012/2013 Opening, 2013/2014 Closing, 2014/2015 Opening).

W sierpniu 2019, bezpośrednio po wycofaniu się Police United z ligi belizeńskiej, August zasilił klub Belize Defence Force FC.

Kariera reprezentacyjna
We wrześniu 2008 August w barwach reprezentacji Belize U-20 wziął udział w środkowoamerykańskich kwalifikacjach do Mistrzostw CONCACAF. Jego zespół zanotował tam remis i dwie porażki, nie awansując na kontynentalny turniej.

W marcu 2010 August znalazł się w ogłoszonym przez Renana Couoha składzie reprezentacji Belize U-21 na kwalifikacje do Igrzysk Ameryki Środkowej i Karaibów w Mayagüez. Wystąpił wówczas w obydwóch meczach w pierwszym składzie, a jego drużyna wyeliminowała Nikaraguę (1:0, 1:2) i awansowała na igrzyska, lecz męski turniej piłkarski ostatecznie nie odbył się.

W styczniu 2011 August został powołany przez selekcjonera José de la Paza Herrerę do reprezentacji Belize na turniej Copa Centroamericana. Tam 18 stycznia w zremisowanym 1:1 meczu grupowym z Nikaraguą zadebiutował w seniorskiej drużynie narodowej. Był to jego jedyny występ w tych rozgrywkach, a Belizeńczycy odpadli z nich w fazie grupowej.

Wrexham AFC reveal ambitious stadium redevelopment plan
19 May 2021 2 minute read

Wrexham AFC has revealed its ambitious plan for redeveloping its stadium.
The Welsh club has appointed international sports-specialist practice, AFL Architects, to revamp The Racecourse ground.
The firm has performed similar redevelopments for football clubs across a number of leagues, including Liverpool FC, Chelsea FC, Stoke City and several host venues for UEFA EURO events.
The plan, for what is the world's oldest international stadium that still continues to host international games, includes bringing the Kop stand back to life, which was once the largest all-standing terrace in the EFL at 5,000 capacity but now no longer in use.
The first phase of the redevelopment is currently underway and sets the stage for Wrexham AFC's ambitions.
New LED boards, sourced from Wembley Stadium, have been installed around the pitch and made their debut in the club's recent match against Bromley FC.
The club, which was taken over by American actor Rob McElhenney and the Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds, says it is exploring new avenues to increase membership, enhance the matchday experience and further invest in the National League team.
'Exciting time'
John Roberts, Director of AFL Architects said: "This is an exceptionally exciting time for the club. I am always thrilled when AFL is commissioned in my home country, so the prospect of working for the oldest club in Wales is a very welcome one.
"The team therefore fully understand and respect this club's heritage and will be working sensitively and closely with them to revitalise their home."
Executive Director, Humphrey Ker commented: "One of the key promises in our owners' mission statement for Wrexham AFC is to improve the ground.
"So, it is a hugely positive step forward to be working with AFL as they have a track record of blending the heritage of famous stadiums with an upgraded fan experience.
"Their expertise will also help us ensure that the Racecourse Ground can become a hub for the Wrexham AFC community and we look forward to developing plans together in the coming months."
Wrexham Association Football Club is based in Wrexham, North Wales, and competes in the National League, the fifth tier of the English football league pyramid. Formed in 1864, they are the oldest club in Wales and the third oldest professional team in the world.

Meet the Hero Who Has Spent Decades Helping Teen Moms Who Choose Life
Photo by Liv Bruce on Unsplash
What happens now? That's one of the biggest questions surrounding the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade. With abortion requirements gone at the federal level, uncertainty abounds.
And while President Joe Biden and others haggle over the possibility of codifying Roe and states feud over laws and regulations, there are two realities everyone must confront: abortion will still be on the books in progressive states, and resources for women will likely be in high demand nationwide.
Christa March, the founder of Teen Mother Choices International (TMCI), knows these issues all too well. March's organization has spent decades helping teen mothers who choose to keep their babies. She trains churches to come alongside these teens to provide much-needed resources.
Watch her explain what she believes churches must do post-Roe:
March, who was doing this work to help young moms well before overturning Roe became a feasible reality, said it's time for the church and pro-life organizations to kick their efforts into high gear.
With the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization ruling returning abortion laws to the states, March said many people are pondering what to do to meet the increased needs that are likely to emerge — financial, housing, job placement, and childcare, among other needed resource.
"No matter what your situation is, we believe that the church is the answer, and we could help you," she recently told CBN's Faithwire. "Now is the time for us to say we believe that baby's life is precious. We also believe that a mom's life is precious. So, let's help her. Let's help her find out who it is that God's created her to be."
March started Teen Mother Choices in 1989 and then launched the TMCI program in 2009 to help train churches on how to best meet these needs.
Christa's Journey
Her quest to help others is rooted in her own story. March grew up in a Christian home and learned about Jesus early. With aspirations to one day become a missionary, she felt her faith deeply. But March, like many kids, struggled a bit with her faith as a young person.
"I ended up getting pregnant, and … I aborted my child, which really was the catalyst to seriously pushing me downhill," she said. "But then God miraculously brought me back to Himself and brought my boyfriend to Himself, and we ended up getting married, and we have two more children."
You might be wondering how that journey brought her to create TMCI. March recalled being in a shopping mall one day while pregnant with her second child. She noticed teens in the mall pushing baby strollers and started to wonder why they weren't in school.
That's when the roots of TMCI were set, with March exploring teen moms' needs and embarking on a journey to serve them. She's spent the past 32 years on the frontlines of this battle to help teen mothers.
What Serving Looks Like
Unlike crisis pregnancy centers, TMCI meets women after pregnancy has concluded and a baby has arrived. TMCI serves "young mothers who have made the life choice to parent their children."
"Our focus is on afterward, everything from helping her with her finances, helping her get a job, helping her finish high school — anything that can help her become a more responsible adult and therefore a better parent," March said.
Since the Supreme Court's Dobbs ruling on June 24, March's phone has been ringing off the hook as faith leaders and organizations look to her expertise and experience.
"We're actually in a great position right now to be able to train and equip others," she said.
March said every community is different, and every population of teen moms within its borders has unique needs. That's why her organization spends months helping churches interested in participating in TMCI conduct a feasibility study to pinpoint the gaps.
Sometimes, these needs are simple fixes that have merely fallen through the cracks. March shared the example of a rural community she encountered with a high teen pregnancy rate.
While the schools had childcare centers, girls still weren't graduating — which seemed perplexing considering the available childcare resources.
"We dug a little bit deeper, and what did we find out?" she said. Yeah, the high schools provided childcare centers, but they did not provide transportation to get to the high school center."
So, TMCI helped coordinate travel, and the issue was remedied. March said the approach isn't "cookie-cutter " but, with a little effort, needs can be pinpointed and met.
Over the years, March said she has learned a powerful lesson throughout her journey: God can work miracles with people's lives.
"The biggest lesson I've learned is: God takes what we as humans view as the worst thing that could possibly happen, and, when we turn those things over to Him, He's like, 'Watch me work,'" she said. "I have seen Him take lives that everybody else had counted out as, 'Nope. No good. Nothing will ever happen. Nothing good will ever come from them,' and they shine like nobody's business.'"
March sees these realities play out in her work each and every day. Find out more about TMCI's efforts here.


If you're working for Facebook, you probably don't want to publicly state that you find social media tedious. Walking around the BMW production floor wearing your "One Less Car" bicycling t-shirt might not put you on the fast-track for promotion. Well, as a marketing manager working at Thermo Fisher Scientific, you definitely don't want to write a blog post about how you get confused when discussing mass spectrometry.
It's not that the conceptual basis is particularly tedious or difficult, but, as with many areas that have close links to academia, there are significant initial barriers to understanding. I have a sneaking suspicion that it's intentional. I mean, why would you call something with three quadrupoles a tandem mass spectrometer when most of us associate a tandem with two people wobbling about on a stretch-bicycle? And then why would you "simplify" the terminology by calling it MS/MS (which surely can be simplified even further to 1 by cancelling the enumerator and denominator?) Come on!
1. Pairing mass detection with HPLC is really useful!
Just to give one example, let's say you're analysing some pharmaceuticals by HPLC for quality control, and some unknown peaks pop up on your chromatogram. Argh – not great. Now you must take that batch and run a whole suite of other tests to try and figure out what's going on (peaks on chromatograms don't contain a whole lot of information, especially if you're detecting at a single wavelength). Or… you can have a simple mass detector paired with your HPLC and immediately get lots of information about each peak.
There's a nice application note discussing this, where a number of additional peaks show up and they are identified as impurities or degradation products of the target compound.
Here's another reason: the high level of sensitivity you can get with a mass detector. The Thermo Fisher Scientific team have demonstrated this with an application note showing how you can inject as little as 5 picograms of acetaminophen onto a column and reliably quantify it with the Thermo Scientific™ ISQ™ EC single quadrupole detector, a factor of 1000 improvement over UV detection! (Hint: the SIM signal is what you want to look at, this is where you just let ions of a single mass-to-charge ratio through to the detector).
2. Mass spectrometry isn't that hard!
Dr. Jenny-Marie Wong's blog post describes this better than I could, but to be honest the thing that convinces me to at least take a look at mass spectrometry is the integration of the ISQ EC and Thermo Scientific™ ISQ™ EM single quadrupole mass spectrometers into the Thermo Scientific™ Chromeleon™ 7.2 chromatography data system.
You can imagine that for someone like me (who is getting all hung-up on the terminology issues with tandem and triple-quad), knowing what settings to put for "Sheath gas pressure" or "Ion transfer tube temperature" could be a little overwhelming. But take a look at the "Easy" settings in this screenshot; even I can handle selecting whether the mobile phase is volatile or not!
3. Single or Triple Quadrupole Mass Spec?
Fortunately, they do have a picture for us!
With that in hand, then generally speaking, I can start to understand whether I need a single (like the Thermo Scientific ISQ EM Mass Spectrometer) or triple (like the Thermo Scientific™ TSQ Fortis™ Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer). It pretty much comes down to whether you need the extra information that is delivered by breaking up target analytes in predictable places, and if you have lots of other stuff in your matrix that could interfere.
I almost feel like we should set up one of those quizzes you find in popular magazines: "Is A Triple Quad Really Right for You?" posted right alongside "Are You Dating a Narcissist?" I'm pretty certain I couldn't get that approved, but in the same spirit, feel free to assign your own score to how important each of the following aspects are to you. Then just total up your score to reveal your true destiny (just kidding, please make sure you carefully evaluate your application requirements!).
Really, we should all make a commitment to not be put off by the terminology or reputation of some technologies. For example, mass spectrometry paired with chromatography may be just the technique that is needed to solve the analytical challenge you have. I'll make this commitment to you right now, and you can see how well I get on over the coming months.

In wake of firing of lifeguards at Île Bizard beach, isn't it time to establish a clear texting etiquette?
Last week, two lifeguards at the beach in Île Bizard made headlines when they were fired after their photo was published on Facebook showing them both texting on their cellphones while on duty.
The idea of lifeguards – of all people – focused on their cellphones while on the job incensed just about everyone who heard about the story.
But really, was anyone that surprised? When have you seen anyone – from teenagers to those in their 20s – not tethered to a mobile device?
This is not to make light of what those lifeguards did. Their firing came swiftly after their photo made the rounds in cyberspace. Good.
They should be embarrassed by their complete lack of concern for the job they were supposed to be doing. Their story should serve as a cautionary tale to the latest generation of new workers, many of who have landed their first summer jobs this year: If you are on the job – any job – stay off your phone. You are not getting paid to chat with your friends.
Have you ever found yourself in line at a store or gas station while the young person behind the cash was texting or talking on their cellphone?
Perhaps it's time to establish clear texting etiquette. One shouldn't keep one eye on their phone while they are working. Especially in the retail sector, which employs a lot of students, focus on your customers. Practice looking them in the eye.
People are watching. And they are paying attention. And think about it, just about everyone has a camera on their phone today, you could be the next person making the rounds on Facebook.
I welcome your comments.
