Bethesda Softworks today took the wraps off The Evil Within, a new survival-horror game from Shinji Mikami, but the biggest news may not be the studio's partnership with "the father of the survival horror genre," but the fact that The Evil Within is being developed for the PS4 and the next-generation Xbox, aka "Durango" or the "Xbox 720." According to Bethesda's announcement, the game is also in development for the Xbox 360 and PS3.
Mikami is best known as the creator of the Resident Evil series, so hearing of a new survival-horror franchise from his studio is significant news.
The Evil Within is currently slated for release in 2014, so it won't be a launch title for the PlayStation 4 or next-generation Xbox. It's unclear when in 2014 the game will release, but it's likely to be a holiday 2014 game, considering the timing of today's announcement.
The official "reveal trailer" for The Evil Within can be watched here. Bethesda says additional information will be available in an article on that site on Monday (April 22).


The 8IGHT-X features a more traditional "wide" style chassis that increases stability, balance and gives the buggy a more neutral feel. This also allows for the components to be spread out instead of cramped to together as with a narrow style chassis making maintenance a breeze.
The 8IGHT-X eliminates the traditional one piece radio tray by designing an individual mount for the steering and throttle servos. The throttle servo mount is made of aluminum which adds extra rigidity to the servo creating a more precise, consistent brake feel all while keeping the servo off the chassis and eliminating heat issues. The updated front and rear mount also helps reduce the need for additional linkages.
The 8IGHT-X will move away from standard hardware that was common place on all previous 8IGHT's. The new standard will be metric hardware and will be on par with all other manufacturers. This will allow for easier screw replacements and upgrades.


The BioAnalyzer Gel offers new perspectives in Gel Electrophoresis, as no dyes are required to make the protein spots visible. The BioAnalyzer Gel utilizes native fluorescence of amino acids (tryptophane, tyrosine…) to visualize the proteins within the gel.
The outstanding advantage is of course time and cost reduction. Neither lengthy diffusion based staining processes nor covalent modifications are necessary. In addition the native fluorescence is highly quantitative. After imaging the gel can be directly processed by subsequent methods. Because of unstained proteins no purifying process is required.
The BioAnalyzer Gel is a flexible and user friendly instrument. A unique photo multiplier detector guarantees highest sensitivity and shortest acquisition time. In addition white light illumination in combination with advanced filter technique delivers unmatched flexibility.


Midwest Perlite is an expanded perlite manufacturing company located in Grand Chute, Wisconsin near Appleton. We are a family owned and operated company since 1956. Our perlite has been in use by many commercial growers, agricultural companies, building material manufactures and filtration industries. We specialize in Horticulture perlite but also provide additional grades of perlite to service other industries as well. With our strategic location we are able to easily serve customers in the Midwest and central Canada.
Midwest Perlite purchases the crude ore mainly from Cornerstone Industrial Mineral located in Lake County, Oregon, USA. We have partnered with them in business for nearly 20 years and found them to be a valuable source of our success. With our unique expansion process and their high quality ore, we are able to provide our customers with high standard expanded perlite.
Midwest Perlite has been a valuable member of the Perlite Institute for over 30 years. Former president, Gene Hoople, spent over 10 years as the treasurer on the board of directors until his retirement in 2003. His son, Keith bought the business and continued his membership. In 2014, Keith was also elected to serve on the board of directors for the Perlite Institute.
Keith started working at Midwest Perlite when he was just 14, sweeping and cleaning the factory and trailers. During college he would spend his time off running and bagging perlite. After college he started working full time, helping his father, Gene, run the business. In 2005, he purchased Midwest Perlite after Gene retired.
On his time off you can find Keith at his cottage in Eagle River, WI with his wife Julie, and their 3 kids. He enjoys fishing, hunting and anything outdoors.
Keith's "baby" sister also started working in the family business in high school. She started working in the office with their mother, Robyn, filing and answering phones. She left the business and worked as a dental assistant for 15 years. In 2014, she returned while she attended college to obtain associated degrees in Business Management and Marketing. After receiving her degrees, she resumed to work full-time.
Naomi enjoys spending quality time with her two children. In the summer months she finds time to relax camping and gardening.
Joe started working at Midwest Perlite over 20 years ago. He started out working as a bagger right after high school. Over the years he has learned all the ins and outs of the perlite manufacturing process. He assumed the plant manager role in 2005. When not at work he can be found working in his home garage.


CAPE ELIZABETH — Local high school students have been taking more than just their own tests this year – they've been taking them for the Cape Elizabeth Land Trust, too.
The land trust is working with a group of Cape Elizabeth High School students to test water quality in Great Pond and Alewife Brook.
The partnership was made possible through a $1,500 grant from the Casco Bay Estuary Partnership. Students began the testing in May.
According to the land trust's website, the grant allowed for the purchase of a meter that tests the water's temperature, acidity, dissolved oxygen, conductivity and dissolved solids.
Natasha Rathlev, education coordinator for the land trust, said interest from the community prompted the study. Great Pond especially, she said, is heavily used by people in town.
From there, Rathlev said she contacted John Holdridge, volunteer and extended learning opportunities coordinator at CEHS, about having students conduct the testing.
A unique aspect of the project is that the students involved are not doing the testing as part of a class.
She said she met with the students "quite a bit" last fall, but by then it was too late in the season to conduct any testing, as the ideal time is between spring and fall.
Through her meeting with students, however, Rathlev realized the need to purchase a meter, which is what inspired her to apply for the grant.
Testing began at the end of the last school year. The project was on hiatus over the summer, but resumed after school began again in September.
In addition to the water properties tested by the meter, students also examined how the water looked, its odor, and signs of organisms in the surrounding area to gauge the water's natural state.
Rathlev said they also considered how the weather, such as air temperature and rain levels, could be affecting the water.
"What we were trying to do is collect information to try to get what the water looked like on a normal basis," she said.
That way, if something were to change, it would be fairly obvious.
Holdridge said the collaboration is the result of "deep relationships" between Cape Elizabeth schools and the larger community.
He also said the project is "a small part of" the work that the land trust does in the town's schools.
Overall, Rathlev said the results were relatively "stable" over the course of the summer, aside from times when the bodies of water were affected by the weather.
She also said the team was scheduled to conduct one last test for the season last week. The data will be posted to the land trust's website in early 2019.
In addition to working with students that she said are "eager to learn," Rathlev said another benefit of the testing project has been adding to the land trust's educational programming.
"We have a great elementary school program, so this has been a great opportunity to expand our programming to reach the older students," she said.
The Cape Elizabeth Land Trust has partnered with Cape Elizabeth High School students to test water in Alewife Brook and Great Pond. Results of the study will be posted on the land trust's website early next year.

If this sounds good to you...I have good news for you. It is possible to achieve this goal! I wrote a post about this concept (known as core training) last year, if you are interested click here to read more. There is a brief description of core training and also there are a couple of outside references for more information.
After that post, I came across a book review...the book is titled "The End of Back Pain" written by Patrick Roth, MD. In his book he describes a mind-body method for back pain, including core training. His method is a bit different from the resources that I had provided earlier. There are numerous positive reviews from readers, and it's currently enjoying decent rankings in Amazon bestseller categories. If you suffer from chronic back pain, it might be a good option for you. Dr. Roth's technique involves mental and physical approaches to the problem and requires only a very little equipment.

Don't forget to add it to your Goodreads!!
About a year before the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, a bomb explodes in a nearby place. Detective Superintendent Lorimer is called one day earlier from his vacation to handle the case and respond to the press. What is really behind this bombing? It is not clear yet, but could it be an act of terror?
At the same time, Lorimer receives a reunion invitation, organised by his former girlfriend and first love, Vivien Fox Gilmartin. Vivien is still a head turner and can still attract his attention, all those years later. When she calls him in the middle of the night to tell him that her husband is dead, after the reunion party is over, he runs to her. The husband was a famous theater director, while Vivien was an aspiring actress when she met him. His death appears to be a heart attack, but forensics show that he was poisoned. Furthermore, the police discovers the body of a Nigerian girl out in a pond, close to the Commonwealth Games location. Things are getting more complicated and Lorimer has a lot of parallel cases running. Could they all be connected somehow?
This is the second book of the DCI Lorimer series that I read from Alex Gray and it is not disappointing! Not at all I would say! The plot is complicated enough, for the reader to look into the different cases and try to find how and if the all connect. The different aspects of each one of them is given piece by piece and leaves room to think and make assumptions.
The characters are very well built. Lorimer, the main character, is the same one met in previous books. A very competent and intelligent officer, dedicated to his work and aware of his responsibility of public safety. He is also a good and loving husband to Maggie and a good friend to Rosie and Solly. He will ask for their opinion or support, but he will not disclose any information that would endanger them or make them unease.
As expected when reading The Swedish Girl Kirsty Wilson shows up again, now a member of the police force, not a university student any more. She is working in Lorimer's department, along with her father and they are all involved in the same complicated cases, trying to avoid conflicts of interest and discrimination.
It is a fast paced book, that keeps the reader's attention with a plot full of twists and turns!
This is a rafflecopter giveaway hosted by Partners in Crime Virtual Book Tours for Alex Gray and Witness Impulse. There will be 3 winners of one (1) print copy of Alex Gray's THE SWEDISH GIRL. The giveaway begins on March 12, 2018 and runs through April 15, 2018.
I am addicted to this series. Can't wait to read the next book, KEEP THE MIDNIGHT OUT!
I love them too! Waiting for the next one as well!!!
Thanks for this fulsome review. Good to know you are enjoying the Lorimer series. The next book will be out in the UK this week, number 15: Only The Dead Can Tell. I will be travelling about here in Scotland promoting it while you nice bloggers are doing the same for The Silent Games.
Can't wait to reach up to #15! Currently waiting for "Keep the midnight out"!

Sunset, Ao Nang Beach, Krabi, 03 Jan 2011.
My first encounter with Ao Nang was in November last year. I was there because I had promise myself a vacation since starting A.i Andessen Imagery in the beginning of 2010. All I want is to experience rock climbing and kayaking in Krabi.
The area I went to is Ao Nang and I was there for five days. Strangely, it was only on the third day that I really get to see Aonang Beach. How so? You see, as there was only one flight every day from Singapore to Krabi by Tiger Airways, it was already 5PM by the time the only bus service from Krabi Airport dropped me off at the Bed & Breakfast. Tired and hungry, all I did was get dinner, a massage, and some light shopping along the incandescent lit streets before heading to bed on the first night.
On the second day, I was up early for breakfast at 7AM before the rock climbing guide picked us up at 8AM and brought us to Railay for a full day of physical and mental 'torture'. As my buddy and I ended our challenging outing at the rocks, we were back in our rooms exhausted and missed the sunset again.
The third day's routine was similar except that we were back from 'A Day in the Islands' earlier than expected where we sunbathed in beautiful secluded island beaches on the Andaman Sea, paddled a kayak around a lagoon, and tried snorkeling in the waters of a relaxing white sandy beach. At the end of the day, after a brief rest back in our room, my buddy even had the energy to tag me for a run. That was when the stunning sunset of Ao Nang Beach caught my attention. As we ran along the short beach road, the golden lights and stark shadows created by the sunset delighted my soul.
From there onwards, I knew I had to go back, only this time with my camera ready to capture the delightful sight.
What about the fourth and fifth day you asked? Well, it was Loy Krathong festival on the fourth day and the place is packed while on the fifth, I was already on the plane back to Singapore when the only sunset I saw was that at Changi Airport.
And with intent to be back in Ao Nang to capture what I fell in love with; the result is as shown. I hope you like it as much as I do.
Sutopo working his craft at Jalan Bahar Clay Studios.
Do you know that JBCS hold ceramics classes every first Saturday of the month? Yes, they do. I am attending the next one, and you're most welcome to join.
Come get your hands dirty and your mind clear.
Round and round the wheel turns; the artist breathes life into clay. It is the circle of life.
This week I took the morning away from my usual office environment to join my ceramics artist friend, Sutopo at Jalan Bahar Clay Studios. It was a treat (for the mosquitoes). Where's my Mopiko?
As I work on images from my laptop, Sutopo gets busy turning the wheel and crafting his pieces. After the second one, both of us took a break, and he asked me to take a photo of him.
Earlier that morning, I had worked on my thoughts about Black and White photography by tweaking the settings on the camera as well as revising post processing techniques on the macbook, so I showed him what my alchemy can create.
So what do you think of Sutopo "smoking pot"?
The islands of Andaman Sea, Krabi, Thailand.
It is difficult to describe how I felt during my one day tour in the islands. I can only say that it is pure sensory pleasure; all five of them, and if you believe in a sixth.
I can only show you at this moment through what I do best; my imagery – Andessen imagery.
This was captured during the longtail boat ride en route from the pier at Nopparat Thara Beach to the numerous islands. Only a handful of these islands have beaches. They are secluded, small, and private (it depends actually, because you are sharing the beautiful beach with fellow island goers. My experience was a good one. According to my guide, it was considered quiet. I make out a figure of just about more than twenty of us enjoying the morning sun).
My guide pointed out and named many islands along the way. I couldn't help but be amazed, however my memory does not allow me to remember all of them, and not to mention pin pointing their exact geographical locations. I do recall one, and it is Chicken Island. It is easy because it has a large rock formation that resembles a chicken head. No image here though as we were not headed its way. He told me about Chicken Island as I queried him of a sand bar path that connects one island to the other when it is low tide. I had seen it on television. Now I shall make a big note to go there on another occasion. It will be interesting.
There are still plenty to explore at this beautiful place, which I will now term 'my paradise'. It is not only the beauty of the islands. There are also places along and inshore of Krabi to visit which I believe is rich in culture. This provides much variety to the small town. I also love the hospitality of its people, having already made a few friends there.
Coming back, I constantly think about the place I never wanted to leave. It feels home to me for many reasons. And I have now plans to make it my home. More details to follow in the coming days and months. I want to share this love of mine with you through photography.
Come and join me on this journey. Let me show you in real and imagery. Make it a part of your plan in 2011.
The open sea and the vast blue sky is what I love most about the Andaman Sea.
I'm on a Longtail Boat, departed from the pier at Nopparat Thara Beach. There are only four people on the boat. It's just our guide, the boatman, my buddy, and me.
We're headed to the islands outside of Ao Nang for a day. There, we would sun bathe on the small secluded beaches and kayak about Hong Island exploring the limestone formations and wild life. Some light snorkeling follows after a picnic lunch. It feels good to swim among the fishes and I would like to apologize to one of them as I was curious and had stalk it around for awhile.
I must have been born in the wrong place I thought as I do not feel like a tourist here. It feels like home.
I feel free. This is me. And I am one with nature.
Kandahar street is a place within Kampong Glam, Singapore. Kampong meaning Settlement, and Glam referring to a variety of eucalyptus which grew in the area, it is a heritage site in Singapore. The land was allocated to the Malays and Muslim immigrants when Singapore was under the British colony back in the nineteenth century.
Kandahar street lies at the back of Sultan Mosque, which is a major landmark for the Singapore Muslim community.
I was there on one of the evenings during the Muslim Fasting Month as there was a food bazaar along the road for Muslims to buy their food for breakfast. It was already late so the stores have mostly closed and the crowd dissipated as the lights dimmed.
What caught my eye as my friend and I rested our feet by the side of the road was the corner provision shop. I like the contrast of the white light coming from the shop within the ambient incandescent lit environment. There were vehicles to frame the subject and two men by the side so the picture doesn't look lonely. And as I was adjusting the camera for exposure, another man cycled by and that was the perfect moment to capture the shot.

Toward positive and systemic mental health practices in schools: Fostering social-emotional learning through service
Felicia L. Wilczenski
Amy L. Cook
including prevention and promotion
quality of life and well being
Mental health services in schools in the 21st century will be prevention-oriented with a grounding in positive psychology and strong school-family-community partnerships that emphasize proactive and systemic practices to build social-emotional competencies for all children. This article makes the case for youth development through service learning to promote social and emotional wellness.

Hindustan Zinc appoints India's First Woman UG Mine Manager
Sandhya Rasakatla becomes India's first woman mine manager in the unrestricted category
Udaipur, 08 April 2021: Breaking new grounds has always been a legacy for Hindustan Zinc. Be it in the endeavors of safety, digitalization, or most recent, their employees. In constant pursuit of inculcating inclusivity and diversity in an industry like mining, Hindustan Zinc's Sandhya Rasakatla was appointed as India's first woman Underground Mine Manager and Yogeshwari Rane as UG Mine Development Manager. Sandhya assumed the role of Mine Manager of HZL's Zawarmala Mine while Yogeshwari is appointed Head Planning & Development for Kayak Mine. Both Sandhya and Yogeshwari Rane are also the first women in Indian Mining to receive the 'First Class Mines Manager' certificate of competency in the "Unrestricted" category. The company is extremely proud and happy to take such a pioneering step in the mining industry that displays the commitment towards diversity and inclusivity.
Speaking on their achievement, Mr. Arun Misra, CEO, Hindustan Zinc, said, "Women being allowed in mining has been a revolutionary decision. This is an opportunity for us and the women mining engineers out there to bring about a societal change. At Hindustan Zinc, we have embraced this and have given an equal platform for our women engineers in our mining operations. I'm sure Sandhya's and Yogeshwari's appointments will be an inspiration for all the young ladies who want to pursue mining engineering as their option. This is just a stepping stone for young women who aspire to be leaders in the mining industry".
Mining Engineers Sandhya and Yogeshwari have both been a part of HZL since 2018. Yogeshwari is the first woman to receive a 'First Class Mines Manager' certification in both 'restricted' and 'unrestricted' categories. Sandhya was also the first woman in India to receive the 'Second-Class Manager's Certificate' in the unrestricted category last year.
Like any other woman in mining, these engineers wouldn't have been able to achieve this if not for a landmark decision in 2019. Following the amendments in the Mines Act 1952 in 2019; wherein the government decided to exempt women employed in any mine above and below ground from the provisions of section 46 of the Mines Act, 1952; Hindustan Zinc deployed women engineers like Sandhya and Yogeshwari to gain experience in the underground mine operations.

Colasimone double lifts Waves to crucial win over Magpies
Vince Habermann QRL correspondent - Bundaberg Rugby League
Fri 12 Jul 2019, 08:18 PM
Rugged second rower Kristian Colasimone scored twice for Waves Tigers who secured an important 20-16 victory over Easts Magpies in their Bundaberg Broadcasters A Grade Premiership showdown at Salter Oval on Saturday night.
Colasimone was at his barnstorming best for the the reigning champions and struck first in the 11th minute, before a try to powerhouse centre Arden Lankowski in the 27th minute.
The Magpies scored through centre Danny 11 minutes earlier, with the Tigers taking an 8-6 lead to the break.
A player from either side was sin-binned in separate incidents in the 48th and 51st minutes, before Easts hit the front in the 55th minute with their try machine Trent Seeds doing what he has does best while halfback Dylan Taylor landed the sideline conversion.
Waves edged ahead again with strikes in the 63rd and 66th minutes by Colasimone and his back-row partner Ben Ashford, with both tries converted by the mercurial Clinton Horne.
Protecting an eight-point lead became more difficult when hooker Jay Lowien was sent off, charged with a head-butt seven minutes from the end.
The Magpies capitalised, setting up a grandstand finish with Taylor scoring in the right corner 80 seconds later.
Down by four, Easts mounted one last attacking raid with two minutes left on the clock and looked set to score until the ball landed in the hands of Waves interchange ace Tukerekere Hikaka. Waves guarded their lead through to the final siren.
Colasimone, who savoured his first double since his days as an Easts junior, said Lowien's dismissal "really put (them) under the pump."
"It was tough with 12, but we showed good resolve to win," he said.
The quietly spoken 25-year-old spray painter / sandblaster by trade, is in career best form after making his A Grade debut for the Magpies in 2013.
He took the 2015 and 2016 season off before making a comeback in 2017. He then followed his good personal friend and fellow former Magpie Reece Maughan across town when he was signed by the Tigers for last season.
Both went on to be integral members of Waves' drought-breaking premiership last September and Colasimone said they would have to keep building and improving in order to defend the title.
"We have a very talented team but are probably still not the team we were last year when we were very structured and blew teams off the park, but we are working towards that," Colasimone said.
"Everyone is happy with our defence – we are really resilient, but we have to work on our structures in attack – that's what's letting us down at the moment, I believe."
The win elevated Waves into second place on the ladder, equal on points with Easts but ahead of them on for-and-against, but they are still six points behind the unbeaten Past Brothers.
Following the withdrawal of Maryborough Brothers from the competition after having forfeited in three of the four previous rounds, there is now just two A Grade games in each round.
Elsewhere in the round
In Saturday's other match, beaten grand finalists of the past two seasons, Wallaroos, hung on to draw 26-26 with Hervey Bay Seagulls at Eskdale Park. The match had extra significance as the Baumann Shield was contested.
Played annually in memory of George Baumann - whose grandson Travin played in the game for the Seagulls - the Wallaroos retained the shield as a result of the draw, but it was a blow in their quest for a top-three finish.
Wallaroos remain in fourth place, while the one point that Hervey Bay collected was enough for them to climb into the top five for the first time, displacing Wests Panthers, who had the bye.
More silverware will be on the line when the Tigers host the Toyota Cup this Saturday, contested between the top two teams after the first full round of fixtures.
They will take on Brothers at Eskdale Park, while at Salter Oval, there will also be much at stake for both sides in the combat between Wests and Easts.
Earlier last Saturday, the Tigers inflicted Past Brothers' first loss of the season, overpowering them 22-4 in the Bundaberg/Gladstone Intercity Women's League.
Dynamic 17-year-old second rower Angelina Sweeney led the charge with a double as Waves made it back-to-back wins, posting just their fourth victory of the season.
While they remain in fifth position on the ladder, they are emerging as genuine contenders once again after being beaten by Brothers in last year's Bundaberg grand final.
The Tigers also scored a crucial win in Under 18s, proving too good for a depleted Wests 30-4 with centre Jacob Scadden bagging a double while classy halfback Sam Tobin set the standard, posting the opening try in a complete man of the match performance.
Waves remain last of four on the Under 18 table, but they are now only one point adrift of the third placed Panthers and two behind second seeds Hervey Bay.
Meanwhile, Brothers charged on at the top of the table, accounting for Burnett Cutters 26-10 with centre Levi Douglas breaking the shackles with a hat-trick.
A Grade results:
WAVES TIGERS 20 (Kristian Colasimone 2, Arden Lankowski, Ben Ashford tries; Clinton Horne 2 goals) d EASTS 16 (Danny Moran, Trent Seeds, Dylan Taylor tries; Matt Craven, Dylan Taylor goals).
WALLAROOS 26 (Shaun Collins 3, Tyrone Stacey, Joe Byrne tries; Daniel Beatty 3 goals) drew HERVEY BAY 26 (Logona Vetemotu, Ryan Hockley, Tiko Hooper, Dion Bunyan, Slayde Johnson tries; Logona Vetemotu 3 goals).
Regional camps develop skills for Under 18 girls


Local martial arts competitors at the World Championship.
A martial arts group from the Ocean Air Recreation Center made an impressive showing at the 2018 World Tang Soo Do Association World Championship in Greensboro, NC.
A group of 31 competitors and family members from Coastal Canyon Tang Soo Do joined over 1,600 competitors from around the world. The 18 competing participants brought home an impressive 24 medals, with special achievement by Christina Wooden who tied for the overall Champion Cup in the Female Youth Black Belt division.
This Torrey Hills crew also participated in a variety of creativity demonstrations, including one with some 500 female competitors – thought to be the largest demonstration by a group of female martial artists on record.

Validating a claims-based method for assessing severe rectal and urinary adverse effects of radiotherapy
Joseph M. Sewell, Amrita Rao, Sean P. Elliott
Objective: To validate a claims-based algorithm for detecting severe rectal and urinary adverse effects (AEs) of radiotherapy (RT) to inform the design and interpretation of outcomes studies, using administrative datasets to detect such RT AEs. Methods: An institutional billing analysis was performed to identify patients managed with RT for prostate or cervical cancer at the University of Minnesota, between 2000 and 2006. A priori, we identified Current Procedural Terminology procedural codes consistent with treatment for severe RT AEs. A retrospective chart review and a billing (ie "claims") analysis were performed to detect the procedures used to treat RT AEs. The accuracy of the claims-based algorithm was compared with chart review (the reference standard). Results: On chart review, 31 patients (7.6%) with severe rectal and urinary RT AEs were detected among 406 patients with nonmetastatic cancer at diagnosis. The most common AE was ureteral stenosis (25% of all AEs). The sensitivity and specificity of the claims-based analysis were 75% and 100% respectively for urethral stricture, 100% and 99% respectively for ureteral stricture, 60% and 100% respectively for radiation cystitis, 88% and 100% respectively for rectal or urinary fistula, and 88% and 100% respectively for radiation proctitis. Conclusion: We demonstrated an excellent specificity and yet fairly good sensitivity of our claims-based algorithm for detecting treatment of urethral stricture, rectal or urinary fistulas, radiation proctitis, and ureteral stricture. These data might inform the design and interpretation of studies using claims-based methods for the detection of severe urinary AEs of pelvic RT.

Hiring a researcher for German Ancestry
akestenbaum@...
Over the years, we have been able to trace my husband's paternal family quite comfortably, but his maternal side is quite a mystery with no family that we have ever found. We do have some records but are missing a big part of the picture. I am leaving much out in the following description but this will give an idea as to the complexities involved.
His mother, who was born in Passau, identified herself as being Jewish, but after her death, we discovered much to my husband's shock that none of this was quite reality. When we visited the Passau archives we learnt that she was born to an unmarried Catholic woman, was baptized and her mother put down the name of a Polish Jewish man as the father. She married him thirteen years later but our sense is they were not together for much of that time period. They lived in Dusseldorf and then fled to Amsterdam, living in the area the Jews were kept during WW11 (the man was sent to Westerbork but was released, a fascinating historical story) where they both died in the 1940s. Last year we found that they were buried in a Jewish cemetery near Amsterdam with Hebrew gravestones. As they left Dusseldorf, they were able to send my mother-in-law to live with that man's brother and wife in the United States.
When my husband had his DNA tested, we discovered that it was impossible for this man to be his grandfather. Not quite certain why his grandmother used this man's name as the father, but we do have some theories. Every person who we have looked up as being a relative have basically all come up on my husband's paternal side. It is as if his maternal side never existed.
I know that these missing pieces of his background are weighing on him. I was wondering if anybody has a researcher they could recommend that we could work with to find some answers in a case like this.
Thank you very much in advance for any assistance.

I would also be interested in hiring a researcher (private investigator?) to work on a mystery of a German relative, preferably someone who is local to Magdeburg, or who works with people who are.
Wolfgang Dehne (nee Klappholz) was my first cousin, born in Magdeburg in 1934 to my father's brother Alfred Klappholz and his non-Jewish first wife Ilse (nee Jordan). When Alfred and Ilse divorced in 1941, Wolfgang remained with his father and was subsequently put into a Christian orphanage for protection. In 1943, Alfred married Else (nee Lecker). In 1944, Alfred and Else were deported and murdered at Auschwitz. Wolfgang came under the care of a a non-Jewish foster family, the Dehnes. When given the choice in 1947 to stay with the Dehnes or move to the U.S. to be with our grandmother and other relatives, he chose to stay with the Dehnes. Wolfgang was never adopted by the Dehnes, but when he was in his 20's he legally changed his surname to Dehne.
I know a little bit about Wolfgang - that he married and divorced Hannelore Mollt in Magdeburg and was married a second time (not in Magdeburg), but I do not have details. He was thought to have had a least one daughter (not sure by which wife), but again, I have no information. Wolfgang died in a nursing home in Magdeburg in 2012.
I have been helped enormously by a prominent Magdeburg citizen who has been instrumental in raising funds to plant the solpersteine and to rebuild the synagogue. She helped me obtain documents regarding Wolfgang, but we've both hit a wall. And, she has been so kind that I hesitate to ask her to do more.
I have more information - old addresses and neighbors' names - and have written certain organizations and people who have not responded. So, those would be leads to follow up. My goal is to locate any friends or relatives of Wolfgang's (or the Dehnes) and to learn more about his life, such as profession.
It is known that he refused to acknowledge his past or Jewish. In 2007 Wolfgang attended a solpersteine ceremony in Magdeburg commemorating his father and stepmother, after initially denying that he was Wolfgang Klappholz. However, he refused to greet his stepmother's relatives who came from Israel for the ceremony. This tells me his past abandonment continued to traumatize him throughout his life, despite the fact it saved his life.
I am also coming to terms with the fact that my late father (his uncle) never mentioned him to me nor apparently kept in touch with him. I just found out about Wolfgang during the past year. I would now like to find out as much as I can.

KID will shift all operations to the Ely Street property and build a new $2.25 million office building there. One goal is to improve customer service and management of staff.
Officials aren't sure how much the renovated historic building on Kennewick Avenue will sell for. They plan to use existing resources to cover any gap between the sale of the former JCPenney building with a prime downtown parking lot and their new office.
Another goal of the move is to remedy some internal cultural issues at KID created by the separation of management and staff. Communication should improve with the 57 employees when they're all at the same site on a daily basis. Officials expect to have the move complete in about a year and a half.
Some may see this as another abandonment by a long-established downtown business. But KID has done much work on the 16,000-square foot building and it could create a great opportunity for a business or businesses looking to join what is becoming a bustling downtown.
It is a big plus that the building comes with dedicated parking. If you have not been downtown lately, it's worth revisiting. It's even hard to find a parking space at peak times.
The KID building also sits just a few blocks off the Port of Kennewick's revitalization project on Columbia Drive, aimed at bringing tourists and locals to the riverfront and downtown areas.
To us, it appears KID is trying to create a more efficient operation and that's a good thing. The irrigation district has been plagued by missteps in recent years and this could be a great way to begin anew with its staff.
Customers who need to visit the administrative offices will be going to a location within the district, which makes a lot of sense. And the Ely Street location offers easier access for many.
Let's hope the marketing of the downtown building is aggressive and creative so that it sells quickly and draws a new occupant who becomes a vibrant part of downtown Kennewick.

Tampa Bay Community Sells for $56M
CBRE provided a $38.8 million Freddie Mac loan for the purchase of the 416-unit community in Clearwater.
Pavel Cazacu
Woodland Key
Ashcroft Capital has finalized the $55.8 million acquisition of Woodland Key, a 416-unit community in Clearwater, Fla., from a private investor. CBRE provided the new owner with a 10-year, $38.8 million Freddie Mac loan, public records show. The buyer rebranded the property as Anthem Clearwater.
The asset previously changed hands for $18 million in 2014. Following that deal, the current seller invested $10 million in capital improvements at the community.
Located on 24 acres at 2770 Roosevelt Blvd., the property encompasses 52 two-story buildings completed in 1974. The unit mix has 240 one-bedroom and 176 two-bedroom floorplans, Yardi Matrix shows. The amenity package includes a gym, two swimming pools, two laundry facilities and a dog park.
Close to Highway 19, the community is 2 miles from the St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport and 8 miles from downtown Clearwater. The property is within 1 mile of a Walmart Supercenter and the 221,000-square-foot Tri-City Plaza shopping center.
Last year, Ashcroft Capital purchased MacArthur Place at 183, a 548-unit community outside of Dallas. Voya Financial provided the company with a $42 million acquisition loan.

Got more than a few years in a business leadership role? You'd probably make a great coach. Think about it: You have been learning throughout your career, and much of that acquired knowledge could help others. Young folks need coaches, and coaching just feels great. In my five decades in leadership, I'm most proud of the time I spent coaching others. In fact, I count my key career accomplishment the development of others.
Don't shy away from a pivotal opportunity to apply your leadership skills in a new way. Here are a few ways that you can start to make an impact as a coach.
Ask questions. Start coaching by asking your first student some open-ended questions to gain key insight: What parts of your job do you most like? What do you find most challenging? So that you both get going in the right direction, ask for more detail, dig deep to understand your student and make a list of confidential issues you can help your student work on.
Share experiences. That means the good and the bad ones. This kind of honesty will help developing leaders learn and grow. Think of every story as an opportunity to teach. A personal success story about how you learned the ropes can motivate a young person to build his or her own path to success. Explanations of your challenges along the way are also a way to connect and help students avoid the same pitfalls.
Keep it real. Not only can you talk about your career and how you moved up the ladder from one position to another, you can also share conflicts you encountered with people. Realism, especially when it comes to business relationships, helps young folks grow. Ambitious young leaders have an almost unquenchable thirst for knowledge about how to get ahead—and your stories of navigating real relationships will help paint a picture for real growth.
Encourage networking. Since networking is so important to growth, explain how you've networked and talk about the relationships you've developed throughout your career. Include your student at lunch meetings with business people who could become part of his or her own network. Start demonstrating how networking is the path to professional—and personal—growth.

Healthy lifestyle behaviors are healthy. That sounds right! What healthy lifestyle behaviors are healthy for Oxford back pain and Oxford neck pain patients? Which behaviors support their efforts to avoid future back pain and get over the current bout of back pain and neck pain? Satterwhite Chiropractic would say they are physical activity, low or no alcohol consumption, not or quit smoking and nutritional diet consumption. (Fruits and vegetables are wonderfully health-giving!) Oxford healthy lifestyle behaviors support the lives and spines of our Oxford chiropractic patients and their families.
Back in 2014, a set of researchers proposed that healthy lifestyle behaviors concerning smoking habits, alcohol consumption, leisure physical activity and consumption of fruits and vegetables seemed to lessen the risk of long-term low back pain in women who face low back pain occasionally. Their risk of developing long term troubling low back pain was cut by 35% if just one healthy lifestyle behavior was in place and by 52% if all four healthy lifestyle behaviors were in place. Researchers therefore suggested that recommending healthy lifestyle behaviors would improve the outlook of women's back pain. (1) Male and female low back pain patients who are obese or overweight require beyond simply a phone call or counsel about adopting healthy lifestyle behaviors to treat their back pain. (2) That is where Satterwhite Chiropractic comes in. Satterwhite Chiropractic offers our Oxford chiropractic patients the chance to chat about and include healthy lifestyle behaviors in their lives to put a stop to Oxford back pain and Oxford neck pain as well as cut its duration whenever feasible.
Satterwhite Chiropractic knows that Oxford low back pain and neck pain patients want to be rid of their pain and their risk of future pain. What helps these Oxford back pain and neck pain patients with this target? Healthy lifestyle choices. Healthy lifestyle behaviors influence our overall health. In reviewing just how these behaviors affect the risk of low back pain and neck pain, researchers found that healthy behaviors help men with their long-term low back pain risk and women with their long-standing neck pain risk. (3) Both Oxford men and women wanting to get rid of back pain and neck pain and control back pain's future occurrence benefit from Oxford healthy lifestyle behaviors. Satterwhite Chiropractic is here to help!
Schedule your Oxford chiropractic appointment now. Including some healthy lifestyle behaviors in your life will boost the healthiness of your life!

OMG I miss Battlefield 2042....was the best game ever! Miss the big titan fights.
The comment everyone is thinking....Oh look its that game Infinity Wa- cough I mean Respawn Entertainment made? I was surprised how much the game reminds me of Titanfall.
Yeah I'v been playing now and also got my old account back too from when it came out(the birthday ingame mails were nice with lvl 20 boosts). Sledge has both of my account names but if anyone else wants to add them Mail Eppette for my one account and Riful Omega for the other account. The game is definitely a lot different from release and bit easier to grasp. Has a weird feel as a cross between TERA's active battle and a traditional MMORPG.
Yeah we are all still around kicking.
The first 2 DA games have a different lead protagonist.
Megan Fox is the worst possible choice for April....Michael Bay just needs to stop.


A great roadtrip to Brussels via Ostend got Kt moving. LOADS of stairs mastered – maybe 300-400 over the 2-day trip – and a good deal of running too. We had taken the buggy with us so she never felt disheartened by distances and more often than not she wanted to get out, experience and run about independently. As ever, big brah Kian was there to guide her.

We resent being told that we have an unhealthy mind for it sounds as if our thinking is tainted, some germ in our ideas. But a mind may be unhealthy simply because it has lost its appetite. When we lose our physical appetite we realize that all is not well with our bodies. But we may lose our mental appetite and think there is nothing wrong. In fact, we feel comfortable, complacent, and smug. Parable Our failure to accept what is right and good is like the man ywho went to a convention in a big city.

After punishing himself with poor meals, he discovered when he paid his bill that the hotel was run on the "American Plan" and his meals were included. He had cheated himself.

DePaul University, Chicago, Illinois FRATERNITIES HAVE BALL IFC QUEEN CANDIDATES Lay Apostles Needed Everywhere by Karen Koko A hungry man cannot think of God. Hence the recent movement among the younger element of the Catholic Church: the lay apostolate. The lay apostolate is wellknown, one might think. The words are used often and widely. But are they used with awareness? Do you know what the lay apostolate is? The aims of the Lay Apostolate are two: The relief of the poor and needy, and the salvation of their souls. The means taken to reach these goals are as numerous as the volunteers who serve. The volunteer uses his own talents and abilities. A timely example of lay apostolate in action is the work of the late Dr. Thomas Dooley, the man who lived in Laos. His unselfish acts are too many to mention, but the example of his life is an inspiration to all lay workers.Dr. Dooley saw a need for corporal works of mercy in Laos, and founded Medico to answer that need. There are, however, many organizations open not only to trained doctors and medical aides. These organizations seem to proceed on the principle that a hungry man cannot think of God, and to remedy the situation, send volunteer farmers, engineers, and teachers to help needy peoples. Governments can do a great deal, but dedicated Christians can do a great deal more. Besides the technological and economic aid, the Christian lay worker can also bring the ideals and principles of his religion and western culture. Much of this christianizing is done by example. The lay apostles usually live with the people and work with them, teaching them modern methods and, implicitly, Christian concepts. So the Lay Apostolate is a vital, living force in the Church. There are not enough priests to teach and live with many peoples, and instruct them in mechanics, health and husbandry. Priests are needed elsewhere. Lay apostles must answer the urgent call of oppressed peoples of the world. SENIORS! Root Studios will be in the Men's Lounge today from 9 a. m. until 4 p. m.

In order to simplify the apartment purchase process, we have arranged a recommended option for financing with only your own resources. This is, of course, only a suggested procedure – we treat all our clients individually and we allow you to make a purchase in accordance with your own ideas where possible. The pricelist price remains the same regardless of whether you use the recommended procedure or not, and is not conditional on any special terms and conditions.
SThe STANDARD and INDIVIDUAL payment schedules apply exclusively and solely to financing the object of sale from the client's own funds, i.e. the object of sale cannot and will not be used as collateral by a third party.
If the INDIVIDUAL repayment schedule is used, the price of the object of sale detailed in the Future Vendor's price list will be increased by 3 %. This means the basic price for the object of sale will be detailed in contracts inclusive of this increase.
A payment terminal is located within the sales department for payment of the Reservation fee. Payment in cash is not accepted. We ask credit/debit card owners check their card limit for card transactions before making the payment. All basic types of credit/debit cards are accepted.
The repayment schedule option must be specified by the Future Purchaser before signature of the Reservation Contract.
All information detailed is set on the Future Vendor's business model and cannot be changed. If the Future Purchaser defaults on payment, we recommend immediately contacting the sales department to deal with the situation.
Considering financing the purchase of your apartment using a mortgage? Below is a precise description of the payment schedule requirements, which will facilitate your communication with your banking institution. Below is a list of banks we co-operate with, through whom the process of financing will be most simple. Do not hesitate to contact our sales department for further information.
additional payment – the remainder of the purchase price paid from the mortgage loan + appropriate VAT is payable over time in accordance with this being drawn in parts on the basis of key points during the project.
SThe HYPO payment schedule applies solely to financing the object of sale through a combination of the client's own funds and a mortgage.
The Future Vendor recommends implementing the Future Purchaser take out a mortgage from one of four co-operating banks to ensure standardisation of conditions for drawing upon the mortgage set in the CFPC. The Future Vendor further recommends, in particular to ensure fast communication with the mortgage bank, that the mortgage be arranged with the selected branch directly without the participation of an external financial advisor. Should the Future Purchaser require a different branch, or another financing bank, this change will require approval of the Future Vendor, who has the right to approve or reject this change.
