Land and sea mines: MEINOPA I and II
MEINOPA (1968) and MEINOPA II (1980)
The MEINOPA system with a towed gear carrying electrodes and a seawater conductivity measurement cell is used for automatic determination of the electrical characteristics of the sea water and seabed. Knowledge of these characteristics is necessary to determine the effectiveness of mine-sweeping gear equipped with current carrying electrodes.
MEINOPA system (1968)
MEINOPA is a Dutch acronym for Environmental Parameters Measuring Unit (MEetINstallatie OmgevingsPArameters). The MEINOPA II system is a continuation and extension of a previous measurement system that was developed and used by TNO's Mine Group in support of the Royal Netherlands Navy. The system is used to determine the effective sweeping width of electrically minesweeping gear of minesweepers. This requires that the electrical properties of the seawater and the seabed are measured. Magnetic mines are swept by generating a magnetic field that is large enough to trigger the mines. That magnetic field is generated with a so-called open two-electrode gear.
Open two-electrode gear and the MEINOPA measuring cable behind a minesweeper
The minesweeping gear consists of two insulated conductors of unequal length with at the end copper electrodes with which the (electric) sweeping current is brought into the water. The sweeping width now depends on the generated field, and thus on the size of the electric current and the field distribution in the water and the seabed. To calculate the sweeping width, the current distribution in the vicinity of the gear must be known. We can determine that distribution by measuring the voltages generated by the sweeping current at known locations near the gear in the water. This is done by also towing a measuring cable with measuring electrodes at specific distances. With the measured voltages, the current through the gear, and the measured electrical resistance of the water calculations can be made. The MEINOPA installation gathers the data, performs the calculations and gives the results on a strip of paper. With these data and the depth measurements of a Fathometer, the effective minesweeping width can be determined.
Before use, the dry end of the measuring cable is connected to the signal processing box on the half deck (aft deck) of the minesweeper. Here the measured voltages are converted to frequencies to increase the immunity for electromagnetic interference. A cable connects this cabinet to the processing cabinet in the navigation room in the front of the ship. The sweeping current of about 400 Amps is also fed through this cabinet. The measured current value is also converted to a frequency before being sent to the processing cabinet. The electrical resistance of the seawater is determined with a measuring cell placed in the seawater cooling water inlet of the diesel engines of the minesweeper. This information is also converted to a frequency and fed to the processing cabinet. The processing cabinet finally performs a number of operations on all this data and outputs the results via a printer.
MEINOPA II system (1980): processing cabinet
The conductivity of a liquid is measured with a pipe through which the liquid flows. Seven copper rings are placed in this pipe. An alternating current source is connected to the middle ring on the one hand and the two outer rings on the other hand. The supplied current will distribute over both halves of the measuring cell. The liquid conducts this current flow to a certain degree as the conductivity of seawater depends on the temperature and on the salt content. The currents between the middle and the outer rings generate an electrical field in the water which is measured with the rings 2-3 and 5-6. The size of the voltage is a measure of the conductivity.
Measuring cell to measure the seawater conductivity
The measurement of large currents without galvanic contact is done with a so-called transformer shunt. The principle is as follows: the current to be measured goes through one winding of a transformer. This creates a magnetic field in the transformer. There is a sensor in the transformer, which samples this field. The output signal of this sensor is fed to a circuit which is connected to the secondary windings of the transformer (winding ratio 1: 5000, for example). The circuit now generates a current which counteracts the field in the transformer. The circuit is tuned in such a way that the secondary generated field completely compensates for the primary field. Thus, the current through the secondary winding is a measure for the field, and in turn a measure for the primary current. Calibration is done by passing the primary current through a resistor with a known value and measuring the voltage over the resistor (A = voltage/resistor value).

I've been a Bitcoin follower now for just over 12 months. In that time i've built up some coin from mining, gambling and other methods. In this article I'll explain some of the methods i'm now using to help increase my coins since mining has become pointless on anything less than an ASIC. If you're unsure what bitcoin is then please read my starter article.
This article will be updated regularly so that you can see how each is doing and new sites will be added as and when they are tested and return results.
Bit-Mining is another cloud hashing service, this one has been developed solely for Litecoin mining. While the site isn't as pretty as other crypto offerings it is functional and has a growing number of users.
They have had some initial problems (as most crypto sites do) but the support staff and members are quick to try and help anyone with issues. As I've only been using the site for a short time I don't feel ready to 100% recommend yet.
CEX.IO is a platform where you can trade GHs and Bitfury Chips real-time with other authorized CEX.IO users. Your buy or sell orders are matched against a parameterized database of other orders. If a perfect match is found, a caps trade is executed instantly. If there are no matching orders at the price you specified, then your order remains opened.
While it's difficult to say exactly how much has been made or lost using CEX, i find the platform easy to use and great fun. As owning a mining machine becomes less profitable, cloud hashing is something I see as a viable and affordable alternative. For very little initial outlay you can have a bitcoin miner that you don't have to host or configure, which pays out to your wallet automatically (when your balance reaches 0.01).
The other part of the website is the trading platform which allows you to buy and sell GHs. With the market in constant flux you have the constant thrill of potentially increasing your worth in a matter of minutes. With the very recent addition of some alt coins you now have even more chances to increase your crypto stocks.
The system looked good and was working intially, then they took everyones bitcoins and pulled the service citing PayPal transactions as the problem.

CLIMBING MOUNTAINS AND PLACING CHILDREN'S ISSUES AT AN ALL-TIME PEAK
This Women's Month, the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund (the Fund) will participate in the Imbumba Foundation's "Trek4Mandela". It is a 10-day expedition summiting Mount Kilimanjaro - in Tanzania, to raise awareness about menstrual challenges facing the girl child.
"The Superwoman Club" comprises various women from different organisations who will climb Kilimanjaro from 03 August in the lead up to reach the peak on 09 of August, also known as Women's Day in South Africa, to fight 'period poverty' which results in girls missing school due to a lack of sanitary towels.
Chief Business Engagement Officer at the Fund, Ms Nomthi Mnisi, who will represent the Fund, says that the organisation is adopting the slogan of, "Climbing Mountains so vulnerable children do not have to."
This follows the organisation's theme for its Annual Children's Celebration, held in July 2022, which culminated in a fun walk at the Johannesburg Zoo under the theme of, "Walking the extra mile so vulnerable children do not have to."
Mnisi says, "This is an ambitious and self-less task that we are undertaking. In summiting Kilimanjaro, we hope to raise the profile of children and place their needs on the highest peak in Africa as a statement on their behalf, to say that their needs can no longer be ignored."
Interim CEO of the Fund, Dr Stanley Maphosa, says that this initiative serves as a continuation of the Fund's 27th anniversary celebrations as well as its ongoing campaign known as #ServeLikeMandela. "This is a call to our supporters and the public to walk in Mandela's footsteps and be of service to our society, particularly our children, whom he loved so much. We are extremely proud that Ms Mnisi is leading the way in this regard."
Dr Maphosa also wished former CEO of Fund, Ms Konehali Gugushe, a speedy recovery after she broke her ankle in training. Ms Gugushe was set to join the Superwomen's trek, as a patron of the Fund, before the injury which took place on a hiking trail on 23 July 2022. "We know that Ms Gugushe is still an ardent supporter of this cause, and we hope that she will recover soon and continue to help us spread awareness around this initiative."
According to Mnisi, not everyone has to climb a mountain to show their support. "Nothing is more motivating than knowing that while you may be climbing alone in extreme conditions, you have supporters who are nudging you on back home. We hope that the rest of the country and globe will show their support from their various corners in the world by simply donating towards our cause, spreading the word, and helping us to reach that extra mile in the work that we do as the Fund."
The Fund hopes to raise R300 000 through this initiative and the public are encouraged donate funds, of any amount, that will go towards preventing period poverty and supporting the work of the Fund across various facets of children's lives. This includes healthcare, poverty alleviation, youth leadership, and child safety.
The organisation will keep the public posted on its progress as well as other initiatives aimed at highlighting women and girls' issues during the course of August.

My name is Tom Peacock from USA, I want to say thank you to Dr Emu for the good thing he has done for me, Though am not sure if this is the best forum to show my joy and happiness for what he has done for me but i can't hide my happiness and my joy so i have to share it with people, my marriage got crashed about two years ago and i tried all i could within my power but to no avail. I saw a post and testimonial about the good things Dr Emu has been doing so I decided to give it a try. though he is always a busy man but when he responded back to my email, he gave me 48 hours for my marriage to be restored really just like he said my marriage was restored since then I am happy and i am living happily i am so grateful to Dr Emu you can always email him here: {emutemple@gmail.com} or WhatsApp: {+2347012841542}

The ACLU of Connecticut is committed to anti-racism. We believe in eliminating racism and in advancing racial justice, and we support and advocate for changes that actively combat racism and work toward a racially just and equitable Connecticut. From fighting for legislation to combat racial profiling, to litigating cases to challenge discriminatory laws, to pushing for changes to create real equity in opportunity and justice, the ACLU of Connecticut seeks to create a better Connecticut. Because of systemic racism, Connecticut's incarceration and policing systems most harm Black and Latinx people, its budgets invest in over-policing and prisons at the expense of opportunity, and barriers to voting access most disenfranchise Black and Latinx voters. Though generations of activism have led to important gains realizing our country's foundational promise of equality for all people, Connecticut is not immune to systemic racial injustice.

The couple had got engaged in 2018 and got married in a two-day ceremony in Lucknow. Prateik and Sanya had dated for a year before they decided to get married and spend the rest of their lives together.
Prateik is the son of actor and MP of Rajya Sabha Raj Babbar while Sanya is the daughter of BSP leader Pawan Sagar. The couple got married according to Maharashtrian traditions. After the wedding ceremony, the newly-weds rushed back to Mumbai.
Prateik was seen in a white t-shirt and black jeans with a blue denim jacket while Sanya was seen in a white t-shirt, blue flared pants and a black jacket. The couple was seen happily posing for the paparazzi and looked great together.
Prateik is the son of late actress Smita Patil and Raj Babbar and has appeared in a few Bollywood films. Some of his remarkable films include My Friend Pinto, Dhobi Ghat and Dum Maro Dum.


This post will dispel the myths of common misconceptions about retirement.
Few people imagine themselves working into their old age: The view that most Americans have of their future 'golden years' involves long games of golf, exotic travel and the easy life. Unfortunately, without adequate planning and saving, this dream is unlikely to become a reality. Many Americans have a number of misconceptions about retirement planning that can cause trouble for their ability to retire on time or maintain their lifestyle after retirement.
There are many people who believe that they will be able to live on less after their retirement. This is generally not the case. When is it that you spend the most money: on your days off or on work days? Most people spend more money during leisure time than at work. There are some major expenses that you may have removed by the time you retire – your mortgage is a common example – but there are also expenses that you may not have had before retirement as well. Travel and leisure activities are extremely expensive, but are at least optional. Medical expenses, which may also take a sizeable chunk out of your savings, are not.
Retirements are already longer than ever, and they are only likely to increase in duration as the average life expectancy pushes higher. The result is that it takes a large sum of money to establish financial stability for your golden years that won't compromise the lifestyle to which you've grown accustomed. The earlier you start saving, the better off you'll be. If you wait until later in your working life to start down this road, you'll either have to make do with less as you put more into your retirement account or wait until later to retire.
There is a great expression that applies well to this line of thinking: "The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, but the second best time is today." It's easy to get overwhelmed when thinking about retirement planning, especially if you've put it off longer than you should have. Those years are coming whether you start saving or not, however, and the sooner you start saving, the better off you'll be. Julie Richardson's account, in LearnVest, describes a woman who didn't start saving until 48. As a single mother living on a schoolteacher's salary, it's easy to understand how retirement kept getting put off until next year. She started saving when it was almost too late, but today she is on track to retire without becoming a financial burden on her daughter.
While there are a few kinds of debt that should come before retirement savings, it is important to know your priorities. There are too many parents who feel that paying off their children's tuition, helping to put a down payment on a child's home or completely paying off a mortgage should be done before retirement savings. As Ellen Derrick, a Certified Financial Planner, explained in Forbes, there is a reason that airlines tell you to secure your own mask first: if you pass out, you are no good to your child.
Retirement is an important issue for anyone in the work force. It is essential to arm yourself with information now so that you are prepared to support yourself in your golden years. Now that you've committed to saving for retirement, use our quick and easy tips to get started!

My worst nightmare: That one day, any girl will take my spot. That one day a girl will sit with you, laugh with you, smile with you, & have a good time with you. That one day a girl will realized that you're amazing. That one day that girl becomes your girlfriend. That one day she takes my spot for good. That one day you will forget about me because you're busy thinking about her. Yeah, that scares me the most. Because, I want to be that girl. I want to be only girl. I don't want anyone to take my spot. Why? Because, if anyone takes my spot; there won't be anyone else who can take yours . . . which is probably going to be the worst reminder that I lost my spot to her.
This WAS my biggest fear…. I realize now that it wasn't because I still love you but a classic case of : "He's mine, don't touch"!
And It was that fear that made me misread things.

Decline In Printed Newspaper Leads To Puppy Poop Problems... -
San Francisco's animal control agency is relying on donated newspapers to solve pooping puppies problem.
It seems digital newspaper subscriptions and smartphones have cut the once abundant supplies of old newspapers.
Animal Care & Control has been relying on public contributions and San Francisco Chronicle (http://bit.ly/XLirUN ) donations to line the cages of shelter puppies needing potty training.
Now, the San Francisco Public Library is donating old newspapers to make sure the shelter has a consistent paper stream.
Animal control will pick up the newspapers twice a month.
Agency supervisor Eric Zuercher says the arrangement with the library has solved a big problem, noting puppies are poop machines.

School forces boys to check out toilet paper for use -
An eastern Pennsylvania high school says vandalism forced it to create a policy in which toilet paper has been taken out of the boys' bathrooms.
Boys at Mahanoy Area High School now must go to the school office to request toilet paper and sign it out. Principal Thomas Smith says that's helped solve a major problem of intentionally clogging toilets that's been going on for two years.
Smith says boys must sign out the toilet paper and then sign it back in. But the Republican-Herald of Pottsville reports some parents are protesting the policy.
Parent Karen Yedsena says some students are too embarrassed to go to the office to get toilet paper and are going home sick instead. School officials say they aren't aware of any such problems.

Help me complete my office staple suits!
Thread: Help me complete my office staple suits!
When I had to wear a suit to work every day I only had a navy and a grey suit, so I would say you've got it covered.
Hello, I am a big fan of Suit Supply and they FINALLY came out with a few dark green/olive suits. The one I bought is the Havana 100% wool I love it. They also have a nice houndstooth dark green suit. Take a look at that one as well. They also have a green 100% cotton but it is that new string trouser look. Hope this helps. You are off to a great start.

And there goes another month. March has landed and I barely realized February had begun! In my neck of the woods, spring is trying to make an early debut one day and the next, winter is letting us all know it's still very much around. Because of this, my food has to be flexible during this awkward time when one season is starting to wind down and another is trying to begin.
A prime example of this happened to me last week. I had planned a week of cozy meals, good for warming you up and filling your tummy. Then the temperature climbed into the 70's. The 70's. In February. Of course I had to scrap my casserole and have Jim bust out the grill for some Awesome Burgers. A few days later, we were back to cold and grey.
In honor of March's truly inconstant nature when it comes to the weather, I will be posting a nice mix of cozy foods for those last few days of winter, some recipes that make you think of the warm days ahead and desserts! Because this time of year, when the grey is longer than the day, there is nothing better than a slice of cake topped with Fresh Whipped Cream to make you forget all about Mother Nature's odd sense of humor.
I'm also going to share a few posts about what must have accessories live in my kitchen. I've always tried to make sure most of my recipes can be made with minimal gadgetry as I feel that making food from scratch need not be an event where thousands of dollars of gadgets are required. After all, people have been eating, and eating well, long before spiralizers came about, so we know that the latest and greatest is not always need. That being said, there are a handful of tools that I cannot imagine my kitchen life without. Most can be purchased for just a few bucks and any that are on the pricier side will usually have a less expensive counterpart that does the job fine until you save enough to upgrade or realize you may not need that tool. What is a need in one kitchen can very well be a waste of space in another so keep your life and how you cook in mind.
So let's ride this roller coaster we call March together and enjoy each day while we wait for the first buds of April to truly announce the change of season.

Tiwa Savage Recounts Her Touching Grass to Grace Story (Video)
African Bad Girl, Tiwa Savage, has reflected on her struggling days, how she was so broke and had to live in a shelter for drug addicts in Brooklyn, New York.
She shared the story at a surprise party organised by her friends and family for her "Celia" album launch.
The award-winning singer said she had just graduated from the university in New York and was very broke because she couldn't work as an International student.
"I think I was 22 and we were in New York. I was living in Bed-Stuy, kind of like a shelter. A lot of people didn't know this.
"I was in a shelter for women that had drug abuse problems.
"I just graduated from school. You know as an international student you can't work. So, I couldn't work. I was doing the side thing in Bed-Stuy which is like the hood in Brooklyn."
Tiwa also narrated how she met her friend, Elohor, who has always been there for her.
"Elohor came to NewYork, Elohor has always been that girl… she's like let's go to … she was like let's just hook up, let's go and eat.
"We went to Timesquare, I ordered appetizer because I was so broke and I was so hungry! And I remember she was just looking at me asking what are you ordering and I was like I'm not really hungry… and then she just kept asking me are you sure… and I just started crying and when asked what is the matter I was like Elohor i don't have money…
"She started ordering stuff and even ordered stuff for me to take home. .. and I just remembered going home to my box (in the shelter) and I just started crying and I was like I can't believe this girl just made my day…"
Breaking down in tears, she talked about how Elohor was the first person she contacted when they posted her picture on Timessquare. She added a word of encouragement and urged people to never give up.

"So the first time when they posted my picture on Timesquare, she was the first person I called to say Elohor do you remember the first time… that was twenty years later… If I gave up five years ago I wouldn't be saying this story. Don't let time rob you of your joy…"

Q: determining ip and port in connection between two client - php 1- when we use stream_socket_client() for connect from client A to B. we specify port of B and connect to it and port of A is random. can we specify port of A too ??
2- I use this code for accepting incoming connectiongs:
$a = stream_socket_server('tcp://localhost:9056');
$b = stream_socket_accept($a);
$c = fread($b,1000);

now how detect ip and port of incoming connection ??

A: *

*Yes, you can.
$opts = array(
    'socket' => array(
        'bindto' => '0:7000',
    ),
);
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$fp = stream_socket_client("tcp://localhost:9056", $errno, $errstr, 30, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT, $context );

*You can get client socket information using stream_socket_get_name function.

$a = stream_socket_server('tcp://localhost:9056');
$b = stream_socket_accept($a);
$addr = stream_socket_get_name($b,true);
$c = fread($b,1000);

Note: In this post, I talk about the death of someone whose work meant a lot to me.
This week, we lost Dean Allen. I didn't know Dean well at all; I did meet him briefly, once, years ago. We exchanged a few words, none of which I remember. I do remember he was exceedingly kind and gracious, clasped my hand in both of his, and shook it twice.
Dean Allen's writing and design were—and are—outsized influences on me. I discovered Textism, his (sadly now-defunct) blog, shortly after it launched, and it changed the way I think about my own words. Dean wrote about oatmeal and bagels with more craft and care than I'll ever bring to a keyboard. I've reread Dean's justification for closing down his popular Twitter service Favrd five times since yesterday. Hell, his habit of referring to his then-partner as Herself moved me, at least in part, to begin writing about She.
Like "A Dao of Web Design" before it, Dean's "Reading Design" imbued a sense of worth and weight in the weird, tiny medium I'd started designing for—he changed the way I looked at the web. And I think about this entry almost monthly. Not least because it linked to this moving piece by Paul Ford, which is still one of my favorite pieces of writing. And through Paul's site, I discovered Jeffrey's, and then Scott Andrew's, and then Erin's, and then Eric's, and then Molly's, and then, and then, and then. Honestly, I very likely wouldn't be here without Dean's writing; at the very least, my career would've looked dramatically different.
Losing Dean feels like losing a bit of the web that shaped me, of the web I fell in love with. Of course, the "old web" was, as Erin rightly points out out, a beautiful and broken thing, more flawed and exclusionary than we realized. Back then, most of the folks I looked up to were almost-entirely male, and entirely-entirely white. I'm grateful that's changed in recent years, and the web's better for it—I am, too. I wouldn't trade the new voices in my life for anything.
But I still miss Dean, his dogs, and his words.

Counterterrorism Undercover Officer, Escaped ISIS and Author of New Book "Breaking Cover"
Michele Rigby Assad, a former counterterrorism officer who escaped ISIS and was featured on ABC's 20/20 will be speaking about her new book "Breaking Cover" beginning February 6, 2018.
Counterterrorism Officer who escaped ISIS talks war on terror in the brand new book "Breaking Cover".
Michele Rigby Assad, a former counterterrorism officer who escaped ISIS and was featured on ABC's 20/20, will be speaking about her new book "Breaking Cover" beginning February 6, 2018. Ms. Assad will on her media book tour and is available for interviews and speaking engagements.
Ms. Assad's new book "Breaking Cover" engages the reader and brings them on an intense path from her rescue mission in Iraq to relocating internally displaced Iraqis to Slovakia. She is a former undercover officer in the National Clandestine Service of the US Central Intelligence Agency. Assad's assignment was in Iraq and working as an undercover agent in the Arab world. She served in treacherous areas throughout the Middle East—a woman leading some of the most highly skilled operatives on the planet. The threats were real. The missions were perilous.
In "Breaking Cover", Ms. Assad has at last been cleared to drop cover and tell her story of incredible struggle, of unexpected challenges and thwarted missions, and most significantly, of powerfully realizing what really matters in the face of her greatest fears. "As I prepared myself to walk in and meet Abu Muhammad for the first time, I knew I had a fourth handicap: I WAS A WOMAN."
Assad's speaking tour will begin in our Nation's Capitol on Thursday, February 22, 2018, Breaking Cover An Evening with Michele Rigby Assad. The event will be will hosted by the Spy Museum, 6:30 PM.
Michele Rigby Assad joined the CIA in January 2002 and spent a decade working as an undercover intelligence officer in the Directorate of Operations. Specializing in counterterrorism and counterintelligence, Michele worked in several hot spots, including Iraq at the height of the war. To date, Michele has lived in six countries and traveled to more than forty others.
Michele is an author, public speaker, trainer, and security consultant focused on the Middle East, Europe, and North Africa. She holds a master's degree from Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service and a political science degree from Palm Beach Atlantic University. Her forthcoming book "Breaking Cover: My Secret Life in the CIA and What It Taught Me about What's Worth Fighting For", will be available February 2018. She and her husband, Joseph, live in Florida.

Check Sapporo's Alleys To Find the Finest Food
Updated May 31, 2002 12:01 am ET
It is a shame that many foreigners won't be able to break the language barrier when ordering food in Sapporo (although they can always go through the rituals of sign language or pointing at plastic models). Hokkaido cuisine is hearty and rough and based on the availability of superb raw seasonal produce, from all kinds of seafood to white asparagus and even potatoes.
"With such ingredients, they don't have to work so hard or elaborate like they do in the south," says Phred Kaufman, long-time Sapporo resident and owner...


When I went for a walk today at lunchtime, there was a police band playing in the Corso. The band was your non-traditional police band. Whilst all in uniform, there was a great female singer belting out some great tunes and the band was grooving along with her. It is a beautiful sunny day and as you can imagine, there was a crowd gathered around. I then observed something that you often see when there is a band playing in a public area. There were about 10 – 15 people dancing and they were all children aged about 18 months – 5 years. Why were the kids dancing and no adults? It is because the children didn't have any inhibitions. If you hear great you music, you dance – right?It feels good, its fun. Why not?
Why is it as adults that we don't have the same confidence/lack of inhibitions as kids? What happens? I always talk about kids when speaking about creativity. I ask my audience if the know any 3-4 year olds who are not creative? All children are creative. As it happens, all adults are creative but it is our inhibitions that we develop as we get older that stop us being creative. Creativity (and doing anything that engages the RHS of the brain) carries some risk.
What will the result look like?
What if I don't get it right the first time?
But I wont look professional!
What would people say if I started dancing in the mall?
While these are n0t risks that harm us physically, our inhibitions make them seem insurmountable. I have never seen anyone die from using a crayon but I have seem many people freeze when you ask then to pick one up and draw a circle. The internal voice has been talking down our creative side for so long, it seems natural to say we cant dance/sing/create (add any number of items here).
The biggest step we all have to take in developing our creativity is getting rid of our inhibitions that tell us we shouldn't try something that should be a natural part of our lives. It is the same with corporate creativity. The people in the company have to deal with their inhibitions. That damn voice stops us doing lots of things we should be doing.
Ignore the internal voice! Dance!

D65 school board referendum passes with overwhelming support
Jeffrey Wang/Daily Senior Staffer
A sign supporting the District 65 referendum. On Tuesday, citizens voted overwhelmingly in favor of the referendum.
Ryan Wangman, Assistant City Editor
Evanston/Skokie School District 65 passed a proposed referendum by a wide margin Tuesday that will increase local property taxes to combat rising educational costs.
The referendum passed with more than 80 percent of support from 19,118 voters who weighed in on the issue. It will raise property taxes by about $450 dollars annually for the average Evanston property owner, according to a District 65 financial presentation.
District 65 Superintendent Paul Goren called it a "humbling" day for the district. He said the new referendum money will allow the district to continue work on multiple fronts, including improving student achievements, technology investments and keeping class sizes small.
Goren said referendums fail 70 percent of the time, on average, so the district couldn't presume a successful outcome. He pointed to the amount of support the referendum received as evidence of residents' commitment to public schools.
"The overwhelming support and the deep commitment of voters of both Evanston and Skokie to their public schools is something that we couldn't be more appreciative of," Goren said. "It will make us want to wake up in the morning early and go to work and continue to make the differences that we're doing."
District 65 receives 75 percent of its budget from local property taxes, according to board documents. The increase that will result from Tuesday's referendum will help alleviate rising costs associated with a roughly 20 percent enrollment increase since 2007.
The school board voted on and unanimously passed a measure to put the referendum on the ballot in early January. District 65 board president Candance Chow said in January that if the referendum did not pass, the district's only other option would have been significant budget cuts, likely resulting in substantial class size increases and school closings.
"These are not small impact reductions," Chow told The Daily in January. "They will impact the classroom, they will impact the teaching and learning environment for children significantly."
According to board documents, the district's budget is balanced for the current year. Had the referendum failed to pass, it was projected to face a $114.4 million deficit by fiscal year 2025. With no state budget, this was a conservative estimate, as there could still be an additional $6 million to $8 million annually cut from the district's budget, Chow said in January.
With finances secure for the foreseeable future, Goren said the district can focus on implementing key parts of its strategic plan.
"The work that we have ahead of us with our strategic plan is now undergirded by financial stability so that we can actually do the work to make a difference in kids' lives," Goren said.

Important Safety Information and Product Use
For U.S. Healthcare Professionals
Rabies Prevention
Rabies Exposure
What Is Rabies?
About RabAvert
Do you know your risk for rabies exposure?
Travel to certain international destinations, working with or around animals, and exploring the outdoors can all place you at higher risk for rabies.1
This is especially true for travelers visiting areas where rabies is more prevalent and immediate medical care is more limited, or if you handle animals regularly, such as in a veterinary role, or work in a research lab with the rabies virus. Outdoor adventurers, such as back-country hikers or spelunkers are also more likely to encounter animals with rabies and are at higher risk.1
Active Outdoors
You can protect yourself by taking common sense precautions, which may include vaccination before you're exposed to the rabies virus.
Always consult an informed healthcare provider who can help you assess your risk of exposure and recommend any steps to take.
Best way to prevent rabies? Avoid exposure to potentially rabid animals.
All mammals can carry rabies,2 but wildlife accounts for >90% of rabid animals.3,4
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says to especially avoid contact with bats, which have caused 62 out of 89 (70%) human rabies cases in the U.S. since 1960.5
Wild animals have a natural fear of humans, so if one approaches you or doesn't run away, there may be something wrong with that animal. Look for signs of fearfulness, aggression, staggering, paralysis, seizures, or drooling more than normal. Others may act shy or timid, even uncharacteristically tame.2
If you spot an animal like this, stay away and immediately report it to local animal control.
Can everyday activities put you at risk?
While contracting rabies is rare, exposures can occur while doing regular daily activities outside. It's important to be aware of your surroundings, avoid wild animals and teach children to do the same, and report any contact you or others may have with wild animals. And, generally speaking, never handle bats!
Weigh your risks and consider whether getting vaccinated before an exposure is right for you.
Pre-exposure vaccination adds a layer of protection and simplifies treatment if you become exposed.6
Rabies vaccination before a potential exposure primes your immune response so treatment after an exposure can be effective more quickly. Pre-exposure vaccination also reduces the number of vaccinations and reduces treatment should an exposure occur.1
The CDC advises that you consider pre-exposure vaccination if you are in frequent contact with the rabies virus or rabid animals, such as on the job, or if you're active outdoors and could encounter animals with rabies in the wild.1 Pre-exposure rabies vaccination also makes sense for travelers likely to come in contact with animals in parts of the world where rabies is common and immediate access to appropriate care is limited.6 Talk to your doctor or seek a pre-travel medical consult about your risk and if pre-exposure rabies vaccination is right for you.

People with a history of severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) to RabAvert or any of its ingredients should not receive RabAvert…
RabAvert is a vaccine approved for all age groups to help prevent rabies infection both before and after a suspected exposure.
…for protection before a potential exposure (PrEP) to the rabies virus. They should receive a different rabies vaccine if a suitable product is available. However, because rabies is almost always fatal if left untreated, the protection provided with RabAvert after a potential exposure (PEP) to the rabies virus outweighs the risks associated with a severe allergic reaction.
The ingredients of RabAvert, which could in rare cases, cause allergic reactions in some people, include egg and chicken proteins, processed bovine (cow) gelatin and trace amounts of neomycin, chlortetracycline, and amphotericin B. Let your healthcare professional know if you have had any issues, including allergic reactions, with any of these ingredients or with vaccines in general.
Severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction, swelling of the brain and spinal cord; loss of movement or sensation due to nerve damage, such as inflammation of the brain or temporary loss of movement; Guillain-Barré Syndrome; inflammation of spinal cord; inflamed nerves of the eye; and multiple sclerosis have in very rare cases been reported.
RabAvert should be injected into muscle only. RabAvert injected into a vein may cause a reaction throughout the body, including shock.
Fainting can occur when injectable vaccines are used, including RabAvert. Your healthcare provider should put procedures in place to avoid falling injury and to restore blood flow to the brain after fainting.
Patients with a weakened immune system due to illness or the use of certain medications or treatments (such as radiation therapy, antimalarials, and corticosteroids) may have issues developing immunity. If such a patient is receiving RabAvert, then the healthcare professional may measure immune response through blood testing. Vaccination with RabAvert for protection before a potential exposure (PrEP) to the rabies virus should be delayed in anyone who is sick or recovering from an illness.
RabAvert contains albumin which is a protein found in human blood that carries an extremely remote risk for transmission of viral diseases, including Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), a rare brain disorder. No cases of transmission of viral diseases or CJD have ever been identified for albumin.
Persons who have not been previously vaccinated against rabies will receive Human Rabies Immune Globulin (HRIG). HRIG should not be administered to persons who have been previously vaccinated as it may counteract the effect of the rabies vaccine. Let your healthcare provider know if you were previously vaccinated for rabies as you may not need HRIG.
Only use RabAvert while pregnant or breastfeeding if clearly needed. RabAvert was not studied in pregnant or lactating women so it is not known if RabAvert can cause any harm to the fetus, have any effect on ability to get pregnant, or whether it is passed through breast milk to infants (but many drugs are excreted in human milk).
There is no information on how RabAvert works when given at the same time as other vaccines.
The most common side effects in clinical trials were reactions at the injection site, such as reddening, hardening, and pain; flu-like symptoms, such as lack of energy, tiredness, fever, headache, muscle pain, and feeling of discomfort; joint pain; dizziness; swelling of lymph nodes; upset stomach; and rash.
Vaccination before a potential exposure (PrEP) to the rabies virus does not remove the need for additional therapy after a suspected or known rabies exposure.
Seek the advice of a healthcare professional to help assess your specific level of risk if you are traveling to areas of high risk of rabies exposure; in frequent contact with the rabies virus or rabid animals, such as on the job; and/or are active outdoors and could encounter animals with rabies in the wild.
If you are exposed to a potentially rabid animal, seek medical attention right away before you have symptoms. Once symptoms are present, the rabies infection has spread through the body and survival is unlikely.
Uses for RabAvert
Patients should always ask their healthcare professionals for medical advice about the appropriate use of vaccines and adverse events. To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Bavarian Nordic at 1-844-4BAVARIAN or the US Department of Health and Human Services by either
visiting www.vaers.hhs.gov/reportevent.html or calling 1-800-822-7967.

de Souza completes marathon, gives back to non-profit
Gabrielle Deckelman, staff writer
It is Sunday, the sun is still sound asleep, but will soon be awakened by the chaos of runners high that begins to fill the streets of downtown Houston.
The race has not yet begun but the runner's minds find a way to catch a head start, already racing with emotions, as the number twenty-six point two lingers. However, senior Pedro de Souza arrived, placed his foot on the starting line and set his watch, to give back to the place that placed a silver lining on a period of tragedy.
Senior Pedro de Souza completed the Houston Marathon, a 26.2-mile running race on Sunday, Jan. 15. With the help of friends and family, he managed to raise over $2,200 for Bo's Place, a bereavement center, which specializes in grief support for children and adults who have experienced death in their families. De Souza and his family began attending Bo's Place in 2001 after the loss of his mother due to heart surgery complications.
"I had never planned to do the marathon during high school, mostly because I thought it would interfere with my cross country training," de Souza said. "However, I decided to make an exception when I discovered I could raise money for Bo's Place."
According to de Souza, Bo's Place was an area of comfort. He felt comfortable sharing his fears and true feelings knowing that others with through similar experiences surrounded him.
"Though I stopped going to Bo's Place years ago," de Souza said. "I felt that running the marathon would be a fitting way to give back to an organization that made such a large impact on my childhood."
Going to Bo's Place meant sharing meals with others in similar situations, talking about tragic experiences and venting frustration in activities.
"[Bo's Place] would have pot luck dinners and then you would split into groups," de Souza said. "When you were in groups you would talk about your story and then they would give you a bunch of activities to do. Since I was eight or nine, I did lots of arts and crafts projects while talking to the kids my age who had similar experiences."
Fragmented memories are all that remain for both Pedro and his younger brother Adriano, who agreed that the "tornado room", a place of physical activity, was the best place to let go of their inner emotions.
"My favorite thing used to be the 'tornado room',"de Souza said. "[It] was a place where we could jump around, play games, throw things, and release our frustration."
Evenings concluded with all of the families singing the 'Lean On Me' song.
"I developed a sense of responsibility to myself, my family and to my moms memory that motivated me to succeed," de Souza said. " I grew as a person because I wanted my mom to be proud of me, I wanted to find my passions and achieve my goals."
de Souza has continually been supported by his family through his journey, particularly his younger brother.
"When I found out Pedro was going to run a marathon, I was surprised that he was willing to run such a long race, and I was happy that he was doing two of his favorite things at once; running and supporting Bo's Place," Adriano said.
de Souza spent mornings during winter break running over 20 miles to prepare for the race.
"I was sleep deprived from the first semester of senior year, and thought I would be able to sleep during winter break," de Souza said. "It's quite difficult to find the motivation to get up and go running by yourself when its cold outside and you are tired."
According to de Souza, the day of the race the conditions were "perfect". Though he regrets starting out at a fast pace, he made it through the first 15 miles smiling.
"The first 15 or 16 miles were amazing with all the interesting people yelling on the sides of the roads," de Souza said. " I started deteriorating around mile 19 I think, because I wasn't used to running that long on cement. I started getting cramps and my legs sort of gave out at points, but I made it to the end."
Though the last mile was "especially brutal", de Souza crossed the finish line in three hours, 37 minutes and six seconds.
"[The marathon was] the most insane, fun, painful, and fulfilling way to spend a Sunday morning, running endlessly on road after road," de Souza said.
Through the ups and downs of every mile, and each drop of sweat that came with it, De Souza felt that giving back was the least he could do after all Bo's Place had given him.
"It [Bo's Place] really felt like a community that truly understood me, and truly helped me recover," de Souza said. " I thought that it was important to return the favor, and contribute to helping kids through the tragic childhoods similar to my own."

Real Estate aren't an exceptional live band, but they are an exceptional band. So, basically that means when you witness a Real Estate live show you will have a very good time. Because their music is just that good. But don't expect a huge amount of banter or high energy antics. These are musicians here to have a good time to be sure but they are primarily there to wash over you with glorious waves of guitar and sublime melodies. The band from New Jersey has made very good indeed. With three acclaimed albums under their belts they have a great catalogue to choose from. So despite them not playing "Out of Tune" it was a great night to be sure.
Matt Mondanile and Martin Courtney are the core of Real Estate and it is them that makes the band so special. Their guitar interplay is a sight to behold, layers of melody washing back and forth producing often thrilling results. On songs like "The Bend" it was particularly exciting, especially when the breakdown on that song occurs. Or the epic sounds of "All The Same". My greatest excitement though was for the spectacularly great "Fake Blues". I wasn't the only one appreciating the sounds though. The crowd was very enthusiastic and it seemed like the band could feel it, with smiles breaking out on and off stage. So much so that the encore extended to five songs pushing the show past midnight. Not that anyone was complaining. When music is this good you really never want it to end.
Mike Hadreas has a story to tell and he tells it dramatically. Otherwise known as Perfume Genius he bleeds his emotions on stage, baring his soul and delivering his heart to all in attendance. That was the scene Thursday night at the Oxford Art Factory. Hadreas is an unusual performer. Seemingly very shy but also very bold. Wearing a dress, fishnet stockings and stilettos he prowls the stage belting out his strongly emotional songs. He stares into the distance, not really focusing on the crowd but more likely the job at hand. He can look uncomfortable at times but I think this just makes the performance even more real. There is a searing humanity to everything he produces. I guess this is what makes him so compelling. Last time he toured it was basically just him on his keyboards. This time around he was joined by drums, guitar and more keyboards. Which suited the more dramatic numbers from his latest release. Such as the popular "Queen" and the raging "Grid". My favourite though was probably the sublimely beautiful "Fool". There was still time though for quieter solo numbers such as the achingly beautiful "Dark Parts" and the lilting melody of "Learning". Somehow I wasn't enthused entering the venue for this show. I had a long day and was feeling a little tired. But the emotional shot in the arm of Perfume Genius was clearly just what I needed.
Defining cool can be tricky. But the epitome of coolness is surely untouchable greatness. Which Spoon proved again Saturday night at the Metro Theatre. For well over a decade and more they have consistently given us great music and with a style that is undeniable. I can't think of another band that has done it for so long and with absolutely no drop off in quality. Animal Collective are perhaps the only other band in that discussion. And in Britt Daniel they have a front man who I think is the coolest man in rock in roll. It truly is the complete package. Something to treasure, behold and appreciate.
After a short break from activities Spoon returned with a new album last year in "They Want My Soul" and quite frankly it was as good as anything they have ever produced. So the prospect of seeing them live again was even more enticing. It is very rare to see a band or artist and know that anything they play will be great. Be it old material or brand new. But then Spoon isn't your average band. They just operate at a higher level than band most bands. Greatness was stamped on them at an early stage and it's not rubbing off anytime soon. So basically this was a show that was impossible to fault. Tracks from all eras hit home hard. Britt Daniel and his stylish ways led the way, orchestrating a band that was firing on all cylinders. If I could pick a chunk that really stood out though it was the glorious trifecta of "The Beast and Dragon, Adored", "Everything Hits at Once" and "Don't Make Me a Target". Rhythm and soul to the highest degree. Oh perfect glory. By the time the band came to the closer "The Underdog" were were awestruck and living in joyous rapture. It will be very hard to see a better show in 2015.
As a member of the revered Grizzly Bear, Daniel Rossen has a worthy reputation to say the least. As a songwriter, arranger, musician and singer he has talent to burn. Currently in Australia on a solo tour it was a complete pleasure too see him Wednesday night at the Newtown Social Club. It was also my first visit to this new venue. Despite it being 'just up the road' we hadn't been yet. But we remedied that last night and the new room in the old 'Sando' is an intimate space to see an artist in and we will be back plenty of times for sure. It was so suitable for Daniel too. His warm voice filled the small room with ease. His lilting melodies floating us away on glorious beds of harmony. He played a combination of his solo stuff, Department of Eagles tunes, covers and even a couple of older Grizzly Bear songs. We lapped it all up. He is an extraordinary guitarist. Finger picking is taken to new heights when he plays. He also gave us three songs on an upright piano. Daniel is also very charming with his 'disclosed' banter, drawing us into his intimate and touching world. Highlights were probably 'In Ear Park', the Townes Van Zandt cover 'Kathleen' and the sublime 'Golden Mile'. This was a night of true beauty. A complete pleasure.

Rescue Me is the story of a black television producer, Maya Franklin, who meets a white reality TV contestant/volunteer fireman and rancher, Seth Coulter, when Seth auditions for a spot on a reality competition that Maya produces. Seth is competing on the show for the chance to win the grand prize of five million dollars. By winning the prize money, he hopes to bail out his ranch, which is facing some financial difficulty.
From the beginning the attraction and heat between these two are amazing, but tension quickly arises. Maya doesn't believe that Seth is cut out for the competition and tells him so in a condescending manner. She firmly believes that Seth doesn't have what it takes to last on the show. Problems between the two ensue when Seth is ultimately selected as one of the contestants on the show.
When you add a tense attraction and a heaping pot of money to the mix, a good tale is sure to be told! This was my first time reading Ms. Fowler's work and I have to say I am now a fan! After I read Rescue Me, I quickly purchased another of her short stories. I adore her writing style and for a short story, she has a knack for ramping up the chemistry level between the hero and the heroine. In this short story the writing was great, the story was great, and overall, I wholeheartedly enjoyed it. If you're looking for a short read with a bit of fire, you'll want to check this out.

Methodology and Data Sources
What is Obesity?
Having a body weight that is higher than what is considered as healthy for a given height is described as overweight or obesity. There are many methods of measuring body fat, some of which are expensive and time consuming. Body mass index, which is inexpensive and easy to calculate, is typically used as a proxy. Health officials recommend that individual health assessments should consider other factors as well. Research has demonstrated that a high BMI is strongly correlated with the same negative health consequences as high body fat, although the association between BMI does vary among ethnic groups.
BMI is a person's weight in kilograms divided by his or her height in meters squared. For measurements in pounds and inches, BMI is calculated using the following formula:
Defining Obesity Among Children and Teens
Because kids are still growing, obesity is measured differently among children than adults. Instead of a simple BMI measurement, a child's BMI is compared to others of the same age and sex.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, child obesity is defined as a BMI that is at or above the 95th percentile for children and teens of the same age and sex. Overweight is defined as a BMI that is at or above the 85th percentile and below the 95th percentile for children and teens of the same age and sex.
Why is BMI age- and sex-specific for children and teens?
A child's weight status is determined using an age- and sex-specific percentile for BMI, which is different from BMI categories used for adults. Because children's body fat levels change over the course of childhood and vary between boys and girls, their BMI levels are expressed relative to other
children of the same age and sex.
BMI Levels and Weight Classifications
Obesity Rates and Trends Data
This site relies on multiple survey instruments to paint a complete picture of childhood obesity in America:
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) at CDC measures obesity rates among Americans ages two and older and is the primary source for national obesity data in this report of children ages 2 to 19. NHANES is particularly valuable in that it combines interviews with physical examinations and covers a wide age range of Americans. However, due to the delay between collection and reporting, the timeliness of its data can lag.
The WIC Participant and Program Characteristics (WIC PC), a USDA survey analyzed for obesity trends by CDC, is a report of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children on the results of its biennial census of families served by the program. The data it collects include height and weight information. Because the program provides assistance only to low-income mothers and children under the age of 5, this dataset is limited. However, because obesity disproportionately affects the poor, and early childhood is a critical time for obesity prevention, the dataset provides valuable information for evaluating the effectiveness of programs aimed at reducing obesity rates and health disparities.
The National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH) surveys parents of children ages 10 to 17 about all aspects of their children's health, including height and weight. An advantage of this survey is that it includes both national and state-by-state data, so obesity rates between states can be compared. A disadvantage is that it relies on parent reports, not direct measures. Starting in 2016, the survey is conducted annually, but because the methodology changed in 2016, it is not possible to compare data collected previously with data collected in 2016 or later. Trends can be evaluated starting in 2016 and moving forward.
The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) tracks high-risk health behaviors among students in grades 9-12, including dietary behaviors and physical inactivity. The survey also measures the prevalence of obesity by asking respondents about their height and weight. As in other surveys that use self-reported data to measure obesity rates, this survey likely underreports the true rates. The survey is conducted in odd-numbered years. The most recent public YRBSS obesity data are from the 2017 survey.
Because research shows that children who have obesity at an early age are more likely to have obesity later in life, this site also includes the latest findings from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), which tracks state-by-state adult obesity rates. BRFSS is an annual cross-sectional survey designed to measure behavioral risk factors in the adult population (18 years of age or older) living in households. Data are collected from a random sample of adults (one per household) through a telephone survey. The BRFSS currently includes data from 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands. Variables of interest included BMI, physical inactivity, diabetes, hypertension and consumption of fruits and vegetables five or more times a day.

I love horror films and as of late I have noticed that the film industry has been playing it rather safe with the horror genre. Either they are cranking out needless sequels for existing horror franchises or dishing out PG-13 films that play at being legitimate horror films. Sinister looks like a return to the R-rated horror films we love with some nice WTF moments shown in the trailer. I am shocked to see Ethan Hawke involved in a film like this since I always took him as crime drama mainstay. Hopefully the film ushers in the return of R-Rated horror films on a more consistent basis.
