The European Congress of Radiology will be bringing the next 'in Focus' programme, Children in Focus, to ECR 2020. Over the course of a multi-session programme, Children in Focus, will explore a range of healthcare issues affecting children and young people. With a focus on non-scientific content, topics will include, bringing healthcare to children in impoverished areas, using imaging in cases of child abuse, and improving radiation protection for the young. The programme is being coordinated by Dr. Lil-Sofie Ording Müller, Paediatric Radiologist at Oslo University Hospital, Oslo, and Dr. Catherine Owens, Consultant Radiologist at Great Ormund Street Hospital, London.
Women in Focus was a brand new initiative at the 2019 European Congress of Radiology (ECR). The event consisted of a series of special, non-scientific sessions dedicated to women working in healthcare. Organised by Prof. Hedvig Hricak, the programme included a diverse array of inspiring speakers from across the world and from a variety of healthcare industries. These speakers shared their views on a range of topics related to gender and healthcare, tackling issues such as female leadership, mentoring, the generational progression of women in medicine, and work in challenging environments.
Intended to be educational as well as inspiring, Women in Focus explored and celebrated the crucial role that women play in healthcare, whilst offering advice and insights to those wishing to advance their caregiving skills and careers within this sector. Through an interactive session style, including live audience polling and panel discussions, attendees were encouraged to share their own views on a variety of important issues. As the programme was intended to be relevant and interesting to everyone, and not only to the radiological community, it was also open to the public.
The programme took place on Thursday, February 28 and Friday, March 1 in The Church, located near the Austria Center Vienna. The first sessions on each day were followed by a networking coffee break in the basement lounge area of The Church with complimentary refreshments and accompanying live music.
Watch all Women in Focus Sessions from ECR 2019 on demand free of charge on ECR Online.

Why do all the planets orbit in the same plane? (Intermediate)
I am a novice astronomer and have been enjoying learning about the stars and the local universe. I have noticed that the orbits of the planets are relativly planer (with the exception of Pluto). I'm curious why this is. Are the orbits planer because of the gravitational pull the planets have on each other (I envision the creation of the solar system with eratic orbits all dampening to the center of mass). I don't know if there is a "proven" answer to the question so I am interested in some of the prevailing theories.
The orbits of the planets are coplanar because during the Solar System's formation, the planets formed out of a disk of dust which surrounded the Sun. Because that disk of dust was a disk, all in a plane, all of the planets formed in a plane as well.
Rings and disks are common in astronomy. When a cloud collapses, the conservation of angular momentum amplifies any initial tiny spin of the cloud. As the cloud spins faster and faster, it collapses into a disk, which is the maximal balance between gravitational collapse and centrifugal force created by rapid spin. The result is the coplanar planets, the thin disks of spiral galaxies, and the accretion disks around black holes.

I read an article about exam preparation in the latest issue of Teach Secondary written by mindfulness trainer and registered hypnotherapist Jo Wallis. This seemed really timely and pretty pertinent given the recent news that the Computer Science GCSE – which until now included 20% coursework – will be 100% exam based following leaking of the non-exam assessment to online forums and collaborative programming sites.
Whilst there is absolutely no suggestion that malpractice is the reason for the increasing move towards more exam based GCSE assessments in a whole host of other subjects, the more linear approach to study is still pretty new territory for many students and certainly requires us to prepare our students in a different way.
Last year, teaching bodies expressed their concerns over increasing reports of heightened anxiety and stress amongst the first real cohort of students to face the challenges of the new exam structure and marking schemes. Jo Wallis is one of an increasing number of hypnotherapists working with young children up and down the country suffering increased stress and heightened anxiety as a result of exam pressures.
In Jo's article, she makes the very valid point that if we are to prepare GCSE students for the challenges of the new examinations and protect their health and well-being, then now is the time we need to start working with them – not at Easter, which is often the case.
She urges education professionals to treat mental preparation with the same importance as academic preparation and begin focusing on their students' mental wellbeing as early as possible into examination years.
She believes that ascertaining learning styles is key to mentally preparing young students and preventing unnecessary anxiety from arising and is a real advocate of variety; be it changing the room in which you revise or the techniques you use to digest information.
"I am increasingly recommending GCSEPod to the schools, parents and students that I work with; not only does the audio visual content meet the needs of all kinds of preferred learning styles but the online format, accessible on any desk top or mobile device, appeals to today's digital natives and naturally encourages students to vary how, when and where they study.
We love to hear such stories, be them from subscribing schools or individual subscribers detailing how GCSEPod is being used to aid GCSE revision. While GCSEPod is increasingly used all year round as a teaching and classroom resource as well as an independent study and revision tool, there is without a doubt overwhelming evidence to suggest a direct correlation between GCSEPod usage and Progress and Attainment 8.
It's not only professionals such as Jo who can see the benefits that GCSEPod provides but we have evidence from schools up and down the country to demonstrate the impact of our GCSE revision podcasts.
I remember taking my own 'O' Levels 30+ years ago and there was nowhere near the pressure then as there is now. The expectations on today's GCSE students, including my 15-year-old son, who will be in the first cohort to sit these exams, is immense. Pressure in schools to deliver or risk a "Requires Improvement" grading or worse, is in some cases being laid on the shoulders of students. This, combined with the tougher curriculum and new style examinations introduced for so many subjects consecutively, means that this particular cohort is facing a bigger GCSE challenge than any others before them. Helping them to cope with the stress and be prepared is key.

Most business owners would agree that it's important to have a website for their company brand. Everyone is on the internet so having a good website makes it really easy for clients to get into contact with you.
Most websites are missing the key factors required to have a visitor take an appropriate call to action. In plain English, your website needs to make your clients life easier, not harder. It's not supposed to be difficult for your client to get in touch with you.
So, here they are. The 3 major items your website needs to have.
No one cares about your business, your website, how much money you've made or what you did last weekend. All they care about is their current problems and what you can do to help them out. Understand that you need to bring to the surface the deep problem that your visitors are trying to solve. This is called Problem Definition. If you can define someones problem better than they can, they will assume you have the solution. This is where you present your product as not just any solution, but the Magical Solution.
Sometimes, it's enough to simply point out a problem so deep that it hurts your clients to read it. If you look at our website, www.ninjapresentation.com, you'll find a good example of this.
Once the visitor of your site sees that you have a solution to their problem, they're going to want to look to see if you're actually able to deliver. There's a lot of details and methods you can use to convey the fact that your solution is credible but we're going to keep it simple. Have a testimonial or demonstration of your product readily visible on your website to have the biggest impact.
This one is the most important, yet most overlooked aspect of any website. The fact is, it doesn't matter how well you do the other two steps, if the client doesn't have an easy enough time contacting you, they're simply not going to. Not only does it need to be simple for your customers to contact you, it needs to be tempting.
Also, make your "Contact Us" button or contact information the largest thing on the screen. The Call To Action is what transforms your website into an inbound sales machine. Without it, your website does nothing but increase brand awareness. You would be surprised at the number of websites ignoring this.
And let's be honest here. Is someone going to go out of their way to read your content simply to know more about you?
Building relationships is more important than closing sales, because ultimately, business is about people. Contact us today, not only for a free consultation, but for a lasting business relationship.
We would love to sit down with you and discuss your current strategies. Contact us today.

A good relationship is based on trust, security, and love. Nurturing these three values is essential to having a healthy relationship with your adolescent.
A good relationship is based on trust, security, and love. Nurturing these three values is essential to having a healthy relationship with your adolescent. Even though your child is becoming more involved in her relationships with peers, it is still important for you to remain responsive to her needs and be there to guide and support her. You are your child's first teacher, and your relationship with her forms the basis of her emotional and social development.
Set expectations and boundaries. Taking the time to talk to your child regularly about your values, rules and expectations, and the reasons behind them helps provide her with a blueprint of proper behavior. You can begin to do this by explaining the rules of your household and making sure you stick to them consistently. For example, curfew becomes a big issue during the middle-school years. It's important to explain to your child the reasons why you set this particular curfew time and to discuss the consequences involved in failing to meet this expectation. If she violates her curfew, make sure to follow through and allow her to suffer through the consequences, as this can help build her sense of responsibility and accountability. The same goes for school-related expectations. If she fails a test, ask her about what happened. Allow her to express her reasons for her actions and help her understand how she can improve upon these behaviors, such as by studying more or finishing homework in a timely manner. Try to make these conversations as natural and in-the-moment as possible. Middle-schoolers have a very low tolerance for moral lecturing.
Find creative compromises. In addition to keeping the communication lines between your child and you constantly open, you may also want to resolve conflicts between the two of you as peacefully as possible. In these types of situations, creative compromises can help you solve dilemmas. For example, you may find that your adolescent is talking back and not meeting her responsibilities at home because she wants to spend more time with friends. If this is the case, explain to her why talking back is unacceptable behavior and why she needs to contribute to the household. You can also both reach a constructive compromise by giving her more time to complete her chores if she earns the privilege by not talking back to you for a week. Education consultant Jennifer Miller suggests that you also work on logical consequences together. Adolescents are still learning and understanding what consequences may follow a particular choice or behavior, Miller adds, and even the most well-behaved middle-schoolers are going to make some poor decisions. If your child makes a poor choice, work together to find ways that she can handle these situations better in the future. For example, if she destroyed someone else's property, you can provide her with ideas on how she can replace it or make amends.

Home Earth Science New basalt type discovered beneath the ocean
New basalt type discovered beneath the ocean 1
New basalt type discovered beneath the ocean
A new type of rock created during large and exceptionally hot volcanic eruptions has been discovered beneath the Pacific Ocean.
An international team of researchers including the University of Leeds unearthed the previously unknown form of basalt after drilling through the Pacific ocean floor.
The discovery suggests that ocean floor eruptions sourced in the Earth's mantle were even hotter and more voluminous than previously thought. Report co-author is Dr. Ivan Savov, of Leeds' Institute of Geophysics and Tectonics, in the university's School of Earth and Environment.
He said: "In an era when we rightly admire discoveries made through space exploration, our findings show there are still many discoveries still to make on our own planet.
"The rocks that we recovered are distinctly different to rocks of this type that we already know about. In fact, they may be as different to Earth's known ocean floor basalts as Earth's basalts are to the Moon's basalts.
"Now that we know where and how this rock type is formed, we anticipate that many other rocks that we know were originally formed by ocean floor eruptions will be re-examined and potentially alter our wider understanding of the basalt formation."
The newly-discovered basalt is distinct from known rocks in both its chemical and mineral makeup.
Its existence was previously not known because no new examples have been formed in millions of years. As a result, the new basalt type lay buried deep beneath sediment at the bottom of the ocean.
To find the new rock, the research team, aboard the Research Vessel (RV) JOIDES "Resolution", sank their drilling equipment 6km down to the ocean floor of the Amami Sankaku Basin—about 1,000km southwest of Japan's Mount Fuji volcano.
They then drilled a further 1.5km into the ocean floor, extracting samples that had never before been examined by scientists.
The research area was part of the birth of the "Ring of Fire"—a horseshoe-shaped belt known for regular volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. It stretches about 40,000 km around the Pacific, and is thought to have begun forming at least 50 million years ago.
Dr. Savov explained: "This was one of the deepest waters ever to be considered for drilling, using a research vessel specifically designed for such challenging deep sea environments.
"Basalt is among the most common type of rock on earth. We were looking for basalt that was formed during early Ring of Fire volcanic eruptions.".
The eruptions that created the newly-discovered basalt were very widespread (covering areas the size of western Europe) and occurred in a relatively short geological timescale of between 1-2 million years.

The following is a brief description of some of the notable changes, and we expect additional guidance on many of the Act's provisions.

The Act repeals the performance-based compensation exception to the $1 million pay cap under IRC §162(m) and expands the definition of "covered employee" to include anyone who holds the CEO or CFO position at any time during the tax year plus the three highest paid executive officers for the year. Under the new rules, once a covered employee, always a covered employee with respect to compensation paid in future years – including compensation that becomes payable following retirement (e.g., severance and deferred compensation) and amounts payable to beneficiaries. Under a transition rule, compensation payable pursuant to a written binding contract in effect on November 2, 2017 that is not materially modified thereafter is exempt from the new requirements.
Loan-Offset Rollovers. Previously, a terminated participant who defaulted on a plan loan was deemed to have taken a taxable distribution for the outstanding loan balance unless that amount was contributed to another qualified plan or IRA within 60 days of termination. The Act extends the 60-day period to the due date (including extensions) for filing the participant's tax return for the year the loan default occurs.
2016 Disaster Relief. Much like the relief provided by the Disaster Tax Relief and Airport and Airway Extension Act of 2017 (see our previous Client Advisory), the Act provides individuals impacted by major disasters in 2016, including Hurricane Matthew, with penalty-free access to retirement funds through qualified distributions of up to $100,000, allows the amount distributed to be repaid over 3 years, and allows taxpayers who cannot repay the distribution to spread out any income inclusion over 3 years. Plan amendments implementing these provisions must be adopted on or before December 31, 2018 (for calendar year plans).
Hardship Withdrawals. Defined contributions plans that allow for safe-harbor hardship withdrawals should examine the extent to which hardship withdrawals may be permitted due to casualty losses as the Act restricts what may be classified as a casualty loss.

Can tiny aircraft deliver the big picture?
Peter Garrison
"We will make our thrust here," the colonel says. "The rocket launchers will be along the ridges. We will release the gas from the warehouse by the field—here. They will never think it is coming from there because the lights will be on. They will expect the gas to come from the water tower. All units must be in position before dawn. We will take them completely by surprise. Aah, these flies!"
He slaps his hand down so hard that coffee splashes from his cup, then inspects his palm with a satisfied expression before wiping it on his thigh.
Six miles away in a subterranean bunker a video monitor goes blank. A bespectacled lieutenant in a camouflage shirt sighs and gets up from her chair. She stretches, then crosses the room to an open door. "Frank," she says, leaning in, "can you send some more flies?"
In his cluttered office in the Los Angeles suburb of Simi, Matt Keennon tosses a diaphanous creature into the air. Tremulous but purposeful, it flaps its way across the room, where waiting hands catch it. Cradled in them, it flutters a moment longer, then subsides when its captor's fingers—huge, clumsy things beside the ethereal flier—click off its master switch.
The little creature is called the Microbat. It was built at the California Institute of Technology's Micromachining Laboratory by a team of graduate students overseen by Yu-Chong Tai. The effort also involved AeroVironment, which is headed by Paul MacCready, a multi-disciplinary engineer famous for, among other things, the Gossamer series of human-powered aircraft. The youthful Keennon is AeroVironment's project manager for micro air vehicles (MAVs), a new class of aircraft being funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The toys in this game are small, but the players are big.
The Microbat's thorax and wing-flapping mechanism consist of tiny sticks of carbon fiber. Its wings are gossamer plastic webs supported by a network of stiffeners that were not built up of separate components but etched from single sheets of titanium alloy by the same photolithography techniques that are used for the mass production of computer microcircuits. The Microbat carries no payload, and it serves no purpose other than to demonstrate the feasibility of a small electric ornithopter that can operate only at low speeds and indoors, where a drop of rain or a puff of wind will not immediately destroy it. More important, it demonstrates the possibility of building parts of flight vehicle structures by chemical micro-machining. Both demonstrations are prophetic.
Slow-moving, moth-like airplanes (as well as crawling robotic cockroaches and other sci-fi stuff) are where reconnaissance seems to be headed now. So-called MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) manufacturing techniques, derived from the tools of computer chip manufacture, will get it there.
DARPA's involvement with toy-size airplanes began at a workshop entitled "Future Technology-Driven Revolutions in Military Operations," conducted at the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica, California, in 1992. Bruno Augenstein, a RAND scientist, chaired a panel discussion on power supplies for "mobile microrobots," then a completely hypothetical class of military vehicle. Despite initial skepticism, the idea that an airplane that would fit in the palm of your hand might be a useful reconnaissance device gradually took hold.
In 1995 DARPA put out a specification for a small camera-carrying aircraft. Six inches—an arbitrary value, but one that has turned out to make practical sense—was the basic constraint: The entire aircraft had to fit within a six-inch sphere.
DARPA also specified a typical mission. The midget spyplane would fly one kilometer, just over half a mile, to a target; loiter there for half an hour in turbulent winds of up to 25 mph, perhaps maneuvering among obstacles such as buildings while repeatedly climbing to 350 feet and descending again; then return to its base. It had to be quiet and inconspicuous, its launching and control system had to be easily portable and operable by an unskilled person, and the whole system had to be both robust and cheap.
In 1997 DARPA gave grants totaling several million dollars to several organizations to develop MAVs; AeroVironment, which had already begun attacking the problem on its own, was one of them. The company's Simi Valley facility has produced a number of flying models, most of them of roughly circular planform, six inches in diameter, and powered by a single tractor propeller spinning at 20,000 rpm.
The most successful of AeroVironment's models, nicknamed Black Widow, has remained aloft for more than 20 minutes flying at 35 mph. The ground operator launches it by compressed air from a telescoping rail, then controls it in flight by radio, like a model airplane—which, after all, it is. Unlike the typical radio-controlled flier, however, the Black Widow's operator watches not the airplane itself, which is a mere speck darting in the sky, but the video picture sent back by its tiny television camera. The whole apparatus—airplane plus launch and control mechanisms—fits in a briefcase.
Fortuitously, Keennon says, various pieces of "COTS"—commercial off-the-shelf—hardware are available in the right size to fit on a six-inch flying disk. Flight controls, for example, are operated by tiny Swiss-made electric motors an eighth of an inch in diameter and 0.01 ounce in weight. The airplane's "eye," also an inexpensive item, is a 510- by 492-pixel color array like the ones used in home video cameras but stripped down to the size of a bean and the weight of 0.05 ounce.
AeroVironment's current MAVs are skittish creatures, with high roll rates and low natural stability. They require skilled radio control operators. The next step in the program, which the company is currently pursuing with its own funds, independent of DARPA's support, is to add electronic gyroscopes and autopilots that will keep the airplanes stable and upright. The operator would then need no special skill to fly one, and would be free to concentrate on the mission rather than on controlling the aircraft.
After adding stability, the next improvement will be GPS navigation, which would permit the MAV to fly a programmed mission without assistance from a human operator. The icing on the cake would be some kind of system using acoustic or optical sensing that would let it maneuver in an urban environment, avoiding obstacles on its own, just like a bird. That level of autonomy, however, is still far off.
The requirement that it send back usable video images puts an important lower limit on the size of a MAV, because each pixel in the imaging array must be considerably larger than the longest wavelength of visible light. This means that a video camera capable of sending back useful detail can't be much smaller than the one Keennon's team is now using. Another non-scalable item is the radio antenna. An antenna that fits within a six-inch space works efficiently only with short-wavelength, high-frequency radio waves. Unfortunately, high-frequency radio signals travel by line of sight—both antennas have to be able to "see" each other—and do not readily penetrate walls or travel around hills. A longer retractable trailing wire, however fine, would impose a severe drag penalty. Antenna size will also pose a problem for GPS reception, especially if future MAVs became significantly smaller than the current ones.
The peculiar configuration of AeroVironment's MAVs is the logical outcome of the six-inch size restraint. If you merely scaled a conventionally proportioned airplane down to a six-inch wingspan, its wings would have an area of only about .04 square foot. Flying at 30 mph—a higher speed would require too much power—such a wing could support only about three-quarters of an ounce at most, with no margin for maneuvering or gust response. But the weight of the entire aircraft, including powerplant and all the electronic and sensing equipment it is supposed to carry, would in reality be around two or three ounces.
It turns out that the best solution is simply to make the wing area as large as possible—essentially, to fill the entire six-inch DARPA circle with wing. This approach has other advantages as well: It provides a simple, stiff, voluminous structure with ample interior space for systems and payload. True, the circular planform lacks the characteristic usually associated with efficient airplanes: a fairly high aspect ratio. The most efficient airplanes have wings whose span from tip to tip is much greater than their chord—the distance from leading to trailing edges—and you don't see a lot of airliners with circular wings.
But for an airplane of this size or smaller, a low aspect ratio may not be a hindrance. The very wingtip vortices that produce drag on conventional airplanes help produce lift instead on small, short-span wings operating at low Reynolds numbers (see "Mr. Reynolds, We've Got Your Number," next page). In fact, recent research on insect flight suggests that the judicious use of tip and leading edge vortices keeps those notoriously small-winged bumblebees—the ones that, according to legend, myopic scientists have pronounced flightless—aloft. This is only one of the differences, fundamental to the creation of miniaturized aircraft, between full-scale and micro-scale aerodynamics. The behavior of air on micro-scale wings is only beginning to be understood.
Although most of the systems of a MAV are electronic and AeroVironment has concentrated on electrically powered airplanes, not everyone agrees that an electric motor is the best choice for a powerplant. Batteries have a low "power density"—that is, they pack little punch for their weight. (This is a problem for electric cars as well.) For some tasks, such as peering into upper-story windows or loitering inconspicuously, an aircraft that can hover is essential; at present, battery-powered electric motors don't have the power to hover for long.
Those traveling the all-electric route look to future improvements in batteries, motors, and propellers, as well as to further miniaturization, for increases in power-to-weight ratio and efficiency—the fraction of the available power that goes into useful work—of tiny power plants. But gram for gram, chemical fuels like gasoline are much more energetic than batteries, and even though extremely tiny internal combustion engines, unlike tiny electric motors, are not available off the shelf, several programs are taking the internal combustion route instead.
MLB Company of Palo Alto, California, has flown several designs powered by small Cox model airplane engines. One of them takes off vertically. Stephen Moore of MLB says that at this scale the power requirement for vertical takeoff and hovering is not terribly different from that for agile maneuvering. Given the tremendous energy content of chemical fuel, a multi-mode tail-sitter craft that can both fly and hover becomes an attractive possibility.
A startling solution to the power problem is in the offing at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts: a jet engine the size of a shirt button. Components of such engines have actually run in test beds. The baseline design involves a single centrifugal-flow compressor spinning at 2.5 million rpm on gas bearings. Combustion takes place in a doughnut-shaped chamber surrounding the engine, and the exhaust gas flows back inward toward the center through a turbine. A starter-generator is built into the case; if needed, the engine could serve as a tiny electrical generator, putting out 10 to 20, or perhaps as much as 100 watts, or it can be used as a jet engine with a thrust of up to a third of a pound.
The key to making such a device cheaply and in large numbers is a version of the same photolithographic manufacturing technique used at Caltech to make the wings of the Microbat. Engine parts would be etched in sheets of silicon, like microchips. (By the early 1990s, electric motors smaller than the point of a pin, invisible to the naked eye, had already been made by this technique.) Just one micro-engine would be sufficient to supply both the thrust and the electrical requirements of a present-day MAV.
At the Georgia Institute of Technology Aerospace Laboratory, Robert Michelson leads a project to develop and refine an entomopter, a machine that will not only fly like a bug but, if need be, crawl like one too. The entomopter has a "chemical nose" and other features to permit it to home in on certain kinds of targets. Its builders expect to provide it with navigation and obstacle-avoidance skills as well. But the present centerpiece of the project is its power plant, a device called a reciprocating chemical muscle.
The RCM is something like the piston and cylinder of a steam engine, except that the gas that drives it comes not from combustion but from a chemical reaction. The energy available from the chemical fuel is much greater than that available from current batteries. And the chemical reaction also has the advantage of versatility: Its waste heat can be converted into electricity to operate onboard sensors and transmitters, and spent gas can be vented over the wings to provide differential lift and, therefore, flight control.
By calling their prime mover a "muscle," the Georgia researchers underscore their reliance on the guidance of Mother Nature. "Nothing in nature achieves sustained flight with fixed wings or with propellers," observes Michelson. "All tiny creatures flap their wings continuously. Flies don't glide."
A similar project, called the Micromechanical Flying Insect, is under way at the University of California at Berkeley, where a team headed by biologist Michael Dickinson has shed light on how insects use their wings. To simulate the Reynolds number of insect flight, Dickinson and co-workers built and instrumented a pair of 10-inch wings driven by six separate actuators, and have observed them flapping in a tank of mineral oil. In addition to a new understanding of very-low-Reynolds-number aerodynamics, such work has spawned a new vocabulary for talking about flight phenomena, with terms like "delayed stall," "rotational circulation," and "wake capture."
Wing flapping works in several ways to provide insects with a flying ability that would be the envy of any fighter pilot. To start with, the flapping of wings plays the same role as the spin of a helicopter's rotor: It creates a relative wind over the lifting surface even while the vehicle—or bug—is standing still. But flapping also sets up tiny vortices that take the place of the cambered flying surfaces, high-lift devices, and moveable flight controls of fixed airplane wings. The eddies set up by their wings not only keep bugs aloft but also allow them to hover, fly backward or sideways, and turn on a dime (or the corresponding currency of the bug world).
Putting the new understanding to practical use is the next step, and not an easy one. The Berkeley team, with some sponsorship from DARPA, proposes to duplicate, in a mechanism about the size of a quarter, at least some of the abilities of a large, repulsive, carrion-eating fly called Calliphora. "You can't build [robot insects] now based on known principles," Dickinson has said. "You have to fundamentally rethink the problem."
Most of the proposed uses for MAVs are military; the funding, after all, is coming from the Department of Defense. But some workers in the field propose broader applications for tiny flying robots. Georgia Tech's Michelson has suggested sending robot "terminators" after real-life insect pests, but suspects that the largest potential outlet for small aerial robots might be the toy market. Stanford's Ilan Kroo leads a team developing a "mesicopter," a multi-rotor electric helicopter. Currently of centimeter size but potentially much smaller, the mesicopter is shaped like a thin, square wafer with a little rotor at each corner. Essentially a flying microchip, a mesicopter's motors, sensors, guidance, and telemetry systems would be etched in place in a single completely automatic manufacturing operation. Kroo's team envisions swarms of mesicopters investigating the interiors of storms or the atmosphere of Mars.
The word "swarm" is particularly significant. Of course, it suggests insects, and much of the more startling MAV research is headed in the direction of emulating those successful products of natural selection. But it also alludes to nature's profligacy. Many creatures that live in hazardous environments reproduce in huge numbers so that just a few may survive to maturity. MEMS manufacturing techniques imply a similar approach to machines. Rather than launch a single costly, sophisticated, man-carrying device to do a job, you would launch hundreds of simple, cheap robots. If most of them fail, no matter—they are expendable. Only one needs to complete the task.
A case in point, reminiscent of the wholesale egg-laying habits of marine creatures, is what Kris Pister of the Berkeley program calls "smart dust." Consisting of various kinds of motion or chemical sensors, a power supply, a microprocessor, and a system of communication, all packed into the volume of a grain of coarse sand, these "motes" would be sprinkled randomly over a wide area to report back what they find. What would do the sprinkling and receive the reports? A MAV, of course.
The use of MEMS in the construction of miniature aircraft is likely to bring about, in the next decade, innovations that seem incredible today. The button turbojet could revolutionize propulsion, even if only for model aircraft builders. Soldiers fighting in blasted cities in central Asia will be grateful for the ability to look around corners with tiny airborne cameras. Children will shriek with delight as their robot wasps attack a neighbor's action figure.
But will we have to wonder, even in civilian life, whether every persistent fly we encounter is carrying a listening device?


"If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you". These were the very words uttered by Christ to his disciples. Christ wants to tell us that following Him is not that easy. He even tells us that if we want to follow Him, we must take up our cross. Maybe some would asked, why not Jesus carry it for us. Why did Jesus allowed us to be persecuted?
Even in the early history of our Church, many faithful were persecuted because they followed Christ. We have so many saints and martyrs who lived exemplary life of following Christ. They were not just persecuted but they were even put into death heartlessly. Some missionaries in a foreign land are suffering from this predicament.
Our own Catholic Church is bombarded by many criticisms. But Christ in the first part of our Gospel gives us an assurance. He tells us that if the world will hate us, they hated Him first. It is clear that God gives his own embodiment to us. It is indeed a dignifying experience to embrace a personal communion with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Our communion with God is also being persecuted by many worldly possessions. Probably we are not condemned to death literally but figuratively we are being nailed by our possessions that hinder us to follow Christ. Personally, what hampers me in doing well to other people? What hinders me to be like Christ to other people, who heal the sick; an instrument of salvation to other people, or a leader who will lead others to God? Sometimes we caused other people to turn away from God. We figuratively persecute them; violating their rights.
How do we treat our brothers and sisters who are sick, disabled, aging and those who are neglected? Instead of being persecuted for the sake of Christ, we are the one persecuting other people. Our Gospel for today is challenging us to re-examine ourselves of who we are. Are we one of the pagans who persecuted Christ and his disciples or are we one of the disciples of Christ who carried his own cross and made his way in following Christ?

Can you say me, how i can change system voice prompts in Elastix?
Ok, if i set language=ru, system voice prompts will change to russian? Is it necessary to add russian voice package to Elastix?
You see, I would like, that prompts as "You have 1 new message. Press 1 to listen to it" will be in russian.
And if you do all the above mentioned, you should get russian propts.
I am unsure anyone can tell you if there is Russian language in there if they have not used it before, I know I can't. Unless you try it, you will never know if there is Russian language in there. And if you find out there is none, at least you will then know your next step is to buy the Russian language pack if there is one or make yours if there isn't.
In elastix you can use the language options.
When I use the voicemail prompts (select 1 for listen to new message ) after the text 'at' the line drops ..
The at.gsm file is in the language directories, but is not known by the dutch selction.
Is their anyone who know what this error will be ?

Parking rules buried in city land-use codes have surprisingly pernicious effects. Requirements that builders provide ample quotas of off-street parking spaces worsen traffic, multiply collisions, push up housing prices, dampen business profitability, amplify sprawl, and pollute both air and water. Parking rules are a surprisingly potent hidden force shaping—or misshaping—our communities. Fortunately, new approaches and new technologies allow better ways to manage parking, and these better ways turn out to be among the biggest opportunities open to cities for improving residents' lives.

The holiday season is supposed to be a joyful time, but shopping for gifts and decorations can cause unnecessary financial stress. However, with a good budget and thoughtful planning, your holidays can be a little less stressful.
Use the tips and tools below to enjoy the season without letting holiday spending blow your budget.
1. Set your budget. The best way to start making a holiday budget is to look at last year's spending. In what areas did you spend more than planned? Next, list the major items, activities and events you plan to spend money on this year, including gifts, entertaining, meals and travel. Estimate how much you can afford to spend in each category. Set a specific spending limit for each person on your gift list. Many financial planners recommend spending no more than 1.5 percent of your annual income on holiday expenses.
Knowing your spending goals long beforehand will help you stay on track financially as the season nears. This easy-to-use Entertainment Planner can help.
2. Do it yourself. Homemade gifts can be a less expensive and more personal alternative to store-bought presents. Search for gift ideas online or spend an afternoon making baked goods for family and friends.
3. Join forces. Instead of spending money on each other this year, consider teaming with friends and family to give to those who may be less fortunate. Online opportunities can be found at the websites for Oxfam International and ACCION.
4. Travel wisely. If you plan on traveling during the holidays, take some time to determine how much it will cost you with our Travel Planner, and don't forget these tips for Saving on an Overseas Trip.
5. Entertain for less. Holidays are a wonderful time to entertain, and a little planning and budgeting can keep events stress-free. Let our Entertainment Planner help you plan a fun event that isn't a huge expenditure. Also, check out these Holiday Savings Tips to help keep your holiday budget in shape.

Couriers of Taste explores the relationship between international trade, global consumerism and cross-cultural influences. Through a selection of drawings, cyanotypes, installation and sculptures the exhibition also reflects on Danson House's past as a place built for leisure and decadence, seeped in and tainted by the 18th century trade and trafficking of peoples and culture.
In the 18th century new goods from around the world were influencing consumption, tea, coffee, sugar, tobacco, spices, cottons and silks, changing the habits and fashions of society. Citing works within the historical context of Danson House, Couriers of Taste considers a wider view of today's global trade practices and power structures. The themes of trade are explored alongside the darker nuances of identity politics, racism, production values, authorship and the contested territory of exoticism.
This exhibition stems from SINOPTICON, a major on-going contemporary art project that considers value and taste, fantasy, replication and the stereotyping of images through the form and decorative narrative in chinoiserie. 'Chinoiserie', a French term meaning 'Chinese-esque', derived from the Seventeenth Century as an entirely European style that was influenced wholly from China and the East. Like most 18th century houses Danson House would have housed ceramics and possibly wall papers from China, and would almost certainly have housed furniture and collectible items which borrowed chinoiserie elements.
Couriers of Taste looks unflinchingly at both the contentious and often abhorrent implications of trade; fashion, taste, power and desirability that power global commerce. The works present a poignant reflection of the concerns of artists practicing today and how history influences our understanding of the world.
Couriers of Taste is part of the Sinopticon project.

The house that Michael Jordan built continues to be one of the NBA's premier destinations for basketball, so now's the time to look into buying single game tickets to cheer on the Bulls at the United Center. Led by burgeoning star Jimmy Butler and hometown hero Dwyane Wade, the Bulls are on the attack in Chicago.
See the Bulls take on archrival LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers twice, and fellow NBA stars Stephen Curry and Russell Westbrook will also visit the Windy City. There's no lack of star power in the NBA and there's no bad seat at the United Center, so check out the full season schedule below and cheer on your Chicago Bulls!
Butler has willed himself from late first-round pick to role player to scoring guard to All-Star since being drafted by the Bulls, and his work ethic has rubbed off on the team. He and Wade play well off each other and create a formidable tandem capable of scoring from anywhere on the court.
Coach Fred Hoiberg has a pair of up-and-coming stars in guard Jerian Grant and rookie forward Bobby Portis, who are gaining major minutes in crunch time. The Bulls have a chance to create something special and contend in the East if they keep finding the right players to put around Butler and Wade.
