Central Asia Institute remains resolute in aiding Afghan people
The Bozeman-based institute says it is prioritizing helping get humanitarian aid to Afghans in need
By: Jane McDonald
The Taliban have seized control of Kabul, Afghanistan, sending thousands of Afghans into displacement and fear. The Central Asia Institute (CAI) in Bozeman remains resolute in its efforts in the education, and now survival, of the people of Afghanistan.
Alice Thomas, Executive Director of the Central Asia Institute, shares the sorrow felt throughout the office following the news of the Taliban take over.
"People are really terrified. No one knows what's coming next, and the people that have the most to lose are women and girls. There's a whole generation of educated Afghans who just can't imagine going back to the dark ages," Thomas said.
Following the departure of American Military, Taliban seized control of the presidential palace and the city of Kabul.
"It has only been a matter of 48 hours since the Taliban has been in Kabul…there are still thousands of people displaced, living on the streets, many living with family and friends. Right now, people don't have anywhere to go," Thomas said.
CAI continues its education efforts but is pivoting to offering humanitarian and survival aids to its local partners. The Taliban have promised that young girls will be allowed an education, but what that education is and if they can be trusted remains unknown, Thomas said.
An anonymous Afghan woman said, "Right now, I'm not interested in teaching the alphabet, I want them to live. I'm so hopeful that the people we helped become literate, they will be able to do something for themselves. Right now, there is no water, no electricity. The Taliban will stop the internet. They're listening to every phone call. I just hope the education we gave them will serve them."
Thomas and her staff have received an outpouring of concern from the community, and she acknowledges what people can do to aid those in Afghanistan.
"If we're concerned, we need to be sure to follow the news, sharing what's happening with friends and family. You also can reach out to your representative in Congress. There's a lot of people in Congress that are very unhappy with the way that things have developed," Thomas said.
CAI is happy to field questions and concerns the public may have regarding the unfolding events in Afghanistan.

Travelling within your Pocket Range.
Travelling allows you to learn some new things and it can be fun to whether you are doing it alone or with your friends or family. You may be geared up to travel but you could have some issues holding you back. For some reason the cost of taking a trip blows them off and they just can't travel unless they have their money right.
Usually the expenses seem to be a lot when you factor in the tickets that you will need and the accommodation once you get to the destination that you are set for. People have come up with a ideas that are very functional once you explore them you will never have a reason not to travel when you want. You may not have heard of them but once you get some informative content about cheap travel ideas, you will be looking forward to trying one if not all with several travels. Sofa surf is one way to travel without injuring your budget, here you basically find people who are willing to host you in the destination that you are headed.
Surprisingly you will easily access people that are willing to host you thanks to the websites that are dedicated to this kind of trade. Crashing on the sofa is not a bad idea especially if you will not be paying anything. In exchange for house sitting services you could get free accommodation where the owner of the house will be travelling away. Instead of the owner paying to have a sitter they will offer you a quarter in the place for free. If your destination tends to be the east then that works well because eastern Europe tends to have very cost friendly when it comes to travel. Camping could also save you some money when you are on a strict budget at a foreign destination.
This way you will be one with nature and enjoy the outdoor activities that you could engage in if you have the proper gear with you. The thing about a tour travel where you will be camping is that you need to ensure that you have all gear that you need and might need , it is better to have and not need than need and not have, you will be in a place where you have no one to help you. Knowing people can be of help especially in a part of the world that you want to visit. You might not have to pay anything and on top of that you will have pointers on how to get around the destination that you will be visiting. With all these options gone are the days when seeing the world was limited by how big your pocket is.

Medically reviewed by Drugs.com. Last updated on May 16, 2019.
Scientific Name(s): Arnica chamissonis subsp. foliosa (Nutt.) Maguire, Arnica cordifolia Hook., Arnica fulgens Pursh., Arnica montana L., Arnica sororia Greene
Common Name(s): Arnica flos, Leopard's bane, Mountain snuff, Mountain tobacco, Sneezewort
Clinical Overview
Arnica and its extracts have been widely used in folk and homeopathic medicine as a treatment for acne, boils, bruises, rashes, sprains, pains, and wounds. There does not appear to be sufficient evidence to support the use of arnica as an anti-inflammatory or analgesic agent or in the prevention of bruising. Heterogeneity of doses, delivery forms, and indications in available clinical studies also makes generalization difficult.
Arnica is classified as an unsafe herb by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) because of its toxicity and should not be administered orally or applied to broken skin where absorption can occur. No consensus exists on topical dosing, and evidence from clinical trials is lacking to support therapeutic dosing. In homeopathic use, less concentrated strengths, such as 12C, 200C, 1M (1,000C), and 10M (10,000C) (C = centisimal dilution [1 part in 100]; M = millesimal dilution [1 part in 1,000]), are recommended for use before and after surgery.
Contraindications have not been identified.
Pregnancy/Lactation
Avoid use. Uterine stimulation has been documented.
None well documented.
Homeopathic doses of arnica are unlikely to result in any adverse reactions because of the small amount ingested. Arnica irritates mucous membranes and causes stomach pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. Allergy and contact dermatitis have been reported.
The plant is poisonous and ingestion can cause gastroenteritis, dyspnea, cardiac arrest, and death. The flowers and roots of the plant have caused vomiting, drowsiness, and coma when eaten by children.
Scientific Family
Asteraceae (daisy)
Arnica, a perennial native to the mountainous regions of Europe and southern Russia, grows from 0.3 to 0.6 m tall. Oval-shaped, opposite leaves form a basal rosette at the soil surface. Arnica has bright yellow, daisy-like flowers that, when dried, are the primary parts used medicinally. Roots and rhizomes may also be utilized. Arnica is sometimes called wolf's bane; however, this name more commonly refers to the unrelated plant monkshood (Aconitum spp.). Lychnophora ericoides is known as false arnica or arnica-da-serra.1, 2, 3
Internal and external preparations made from the flowering heads of arnica have been used medicinally for hundreds of years. Arnica was used extensively in European folk medicine, and alcoholic tinctures were produced by early North American settlers to treat sore throats, as a febrifuge, and to improve circulation. Homeopathic uses include the treatment of surgical or accidental trauma, use as an analgesic, and the treatment of postoperative thrombophlebitis and pulmonary emboli. Arnica has been applied externally to acne, bruises, sprains, and muscle aches. In addition, it has been used as a general topical counterirritant and a CNS stimulant, as well as an antibacterial for abrasions and gunshot wounds. Arnica is also an ingredient in hair tonics, dandruff treatments, perfumes, and cosmetics. A. montana and A. chamissonis subsp. foliosa have been approved for external use in the Complete German Commission E Monographs.2, 4, 5 However, arnica is classified by the FDA as an unsafe herb.
A number of flavonoid glycosides have been identified in arnica. Flavonoids (0.4% to 0.6%) include betuletol, eupafolin, flavonol glucuronides, hispidulin, isorhamnetin, luteolin, patuletin, spinacetin, tricin, 3,5,7,-trihydroxy-6,3′,4′-trimethoxyflavone, kaempferol, quercetin, kaempferol and quercetin derivative, jaceosidin, and pectolin-arigenin. Isomeric alcohols include arnidiol and foradiol. Terpenoids in arnica include arnifolin, arnicolide, and the sesquiterpenes helenalin (and derivatives) and dihydrohelenalin. The pseudoguaianolide ester helenalin methacrylate has been isolated from the flowers. The quantity of sesquiterpene lactones varies widely among species and geographical locations, making standardization of preparations difficult. The European Pharmacopoeia recommends a minimum sesquiterpene lactone content of 0.4% in A. montana preparations used as herbal medicines.6
Amines in the plant are betaine, choline, and trimethylamine. Coumarins include scopoletin and umbelliferone. Carbohydrates, such as mucilage and polysaccharides (eg, inulin), are found in arnica. Two homogeneous polysaccharides, an acidic arabino-3,6-galactan-protein, and a neutral fucogalactoxyloglucan have been isolated. Further polysaccharide isolation has been performed on a group of water-soluble acidic heteroglycans. Volatile oils (0.3% to 1%) may be obtained from rhizomes and roots or from flower parts and are used in perfume. Constituents in the oil include thymol, its derivatives, and fatty acids (eg, palmitic, linoleic, myristic, linolenic). The fatty acid content in arnica leaf essential oil has been evaluated as well. Other components found in arnica include the bitter compound arnicin, caffeic acid, carotenoids (alpha- and beta-carotene, cryptoxanthin, lutein), phytosterols, resin, tannins, lignans, and anthoxanthine.7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13
Uses and Pharmacology
Controversy exists concerning evaluations of the clinical efficacy of homeopathic arnica. Criticisms of clinical trials include publication bias, sample size, and intention-to-treat analysis. Although topical arnica preparations differ from homeopathic arnica, outcome measures such as pain, inflammation, and coagulation assays have been used as a standard measurement of effect.14, 15, 16 Heterogeneity of doses, delivery forms, and indications in available clinical studies also makes generalization difficult.
Animal data
Animal models show positive and negative anti-inflammatory responses to arnica.17, 18, 19
A systematic review of trials prior to October 1997 found no evidence for arnica in reducing inflammation.20 Additional trials revealed no difference in swelling or wrist circumference compared with placebo following carpal tunnel surgery,21, 22 equivalence (no difference) to diclofenac 50 mg 3 times daily for swelling after foot surgery,23 and no difference in swelling after knee surgery except for cruciate ligament surgery (pooled data from 3 individual trials).24 In 1 study in postrhinoplasty ecchymosis and edema, patients who received arnica had less edema during the early postoperative period compared with controls, suggesting that arnica has a beneficial effect on postrhinoplasty inflammation.25 Overall, there is insufficient evidence to support the use of arnica as an anti-inflammatory agent.8, 15, 20, 26
The availability of clinical trial data makes findings from animal studies less important.
A systematic review of trials prior to October 1997 found no evidence for arnica as an analgesic.20 Studies evaluating the efficacy of arnica gel compared with ibuprofen gel in osteoarthritis suggest equivalence.27, 28 However, methodological weaknesses exist in the studies.26, 29 No difference in pain following knee or foot surgery, tonsillectomy, or surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome has been found between arnica and placebo.21, 22, 23, 30, 31, 32
Bruising/Ecchymosis
The sesquiterpene lactones helenalin and 11-alpha, 13-dihydrohelenalin inhibited platelet aggregation by interacting with platelet sulfhydryl groups in vitro.33, 34 Wound healing following topical application of arnica has been studied with limited success in rats.35
A case report of extensive bleeding during orthognathic surgery attributed to previous consumption of arnica exists.36 However, arnica did not affect blood coagulation parameters in a randomized, controlled trial.15, 37, 38
No difference was found between arnica and placebo for laser-induced or surgical bruising,22, 39, 40, 41 despite arnica being widely recommended for this purpose.42, 43 Following rhytidectomy (face-lift), a decrease in bruising was observed on days 1 and 7, but not days 5 and 10.15 Another study in patients with upper eyelid dermatochalais undergoing blepharoplasty found no benefit in size or severity of ecchymosis or ease of recovery with A. montana compared with placebo; results were confirmed by a double-blind, randomized controlled trial44, 64. An open-label study evaluated the use of arnica powder in umbilical cord care. No infections were noted and stump detachment was unaffected; however, the study had no comparator agent.45
The availability of clinical trial data makes findings from animal studies less important, although limited studies in rodents show effects of arnica on inflammatory markers.17, 46
Pooled data from 2 trials evaluating muscle soreness and cell damage in marathon runners reached statistical significance for muscle soreness but showed no difference in relevant cellular enzymes.47 A subsequent trial reported no difference for muscle soreness in marathon runners.25 A small (N = 22) study found reductions in pain 3 days after exercise but no effect on markers of muscle damage or inflammation with topically applied arnica.48 In a study of 53 participants, topical arnica increased calf muscle pain at 24 hours after exercise but not at 48 hours.49
Immune modulation has been observed in animal studies and in vitro.17, 50, 51, 52 Antioxidant effects53, 54 and in vitro cytotoxic effects34, 54, 55, 56 have been reported.
Arnica is classified as an unsafe herb by the FDA because of its toxicity and should not be administered orally or applied to broken skin where absorption can occur.4, 57
A review of practice patterns of facial plastic surgeons found a commonly cited regimen of A. montana 500 mg capsules taken orally every 8 hours on the day of surgery and continued for 3 days.42
No consensus exists on topical dosing, and evidence from clinical trials is lacking to support therapeutic dosing.8, 15, 20 Experiments show that absorption of active chemical constituents is dependent on the concentration and form of preparation. Microemulsion preparations exhibit greater absorption, as do more concentrated forms of the tincture.6, 58 Creams typically contain arnica oil 15% and salves have arnica oil 20% to 25%.8
Clinical evidence is lacking to support therapeutic dosing. Less concentrated strengths, such as 12C, 200C, 1M, and 10M, have been used in surgery. Because paradoxical effects, such as causing bleeding instead of preventing bruising, can be observed, pre- and postoperative homeopathic use of arnica should be limited.57 (C = centesimal dilution; potency is based on the ratio of 1 part substance to 99 parts dilution.) Designated with a C (or left blank in Europe) after the remedy name, C potencies are considered medium potencies. C potency is often used for seasonal problems and chronic conditions. M = millesimal dilution; potency is based on the ratio of 1 part substance to 1,000 parts dilution. Designated with an M after the remedy name, M potencies are considered high potencies. M potency is used by practitioners for constitutional treatment.16, 44
Pregnancy / Lactation
Avoid use. Uterine stimulation has been documented. Arnica was traditionally used as an abortifacient, possibly due to oxytocic action of constituent sesquiterpene lactones.2, 4 Homeopathic arnica is widely used after childbirth to reduce bruising and postpartum bleeding.59, 60
Briggs Book Link
None well documented. The potential for interactions with anticoagulants has been described; however, no evidence of increased bleeding times or changes in coagulation assay tests were observed in healthy volunteers.15, 34, 38, 61
Homeopathic doses of arnica are unlikely to result in any adverse reactions because of the small amount ingested15; however, a case report exists of toxic optic neuropathy following ingestion of homeopathic arnica.62 Oral ingestion of arnica (eg, tincture, flowers, roots, rhizomes) has caused stomach pain, diarrhea, and vomiting and irritates the mucous membranes, although no adverse events have been reported in clinical trials.2, 15, 38 Numerous cases of allergy and contact dermatitis related to arnica have been described; sesquiterpene lactones helenalin, helenalin acetate, and helenalin methacrylate are the primary sources of contact dermatitis. Chemical and animal experimentation found a topical sensitizing effect.2, 17
Arnica is classified as an unsafe herb by the FDA because of its toxicity. Internal use of arnica and its extracts is not recommended because the plant is considered poisonous.2, 4, 15 The cardiotoxicity of the plant's helenolide constituents has been determined in animal studies.61 Gastroenteritis has occurred with high oral dosages, and dyspnea, cardiac arrest, and death may occur.63 The flowers and roots of the plant have caused vomiting, drowsiness, and coma when eaten.2, 4, 15

To drive innovative thinking, there's real value in having both insider and outsider perspectives collaborating. Insiders likely have a deep understanding of their consumer, category, and competencies. But that expertise can become self-limiting, as their ideas are colored by their shared filters. Blending that expertise with forward thinkers who aren't constrained by preconceived notions is a winning combination when it comes to driving innovative and actionable thinking.
While a lot has been written about Millennials and how to market to them, innovators have been struggling to figure out how to evolve their strategies in order to capitalize on the sheer size and influence of these consumers. By understanding and involving Millennials in strategy development, brands can ensure they truly deliver against this group's needs, wants and desires. In this post, we'll discuss how successful innovators can take advantage of their technological prowess and engage Millennials in their innovation process.
It seems that every day, we hear about a new start-up introducing a product that addresses a consumer need and quickly becomes a household name. These young companies are out-foxing well-known consumer brands with a history of launching successful products: What are the newbies doing, or not doing, that's allowing them to quickly enter the market and position themselves as innovators?
Do you know where the term "brainstorm" came from? Most people wouldn't be surprised to learn that the approach was pioneered on Madison Avenue in the late 1930s by one of the original mad men, Alex Osborn, the O in BBDO. In 1942 Osborn wrote and published his first book on creative thinking, How To Think Up, and in that book he first used the term brainstorming to identify a process of bringing people together to generate ideas.
Our clients are some of the largest global consumer products and services providers in the world, collectively spending billions of dollars (and euros, renminbi, yen) to actively monitor consumers' behaviors, attitudes and relationships with their products, competitors' products, and aspects of their lives that might yield valuable insights.
Uncovering insights that have potential as product improvements or as new products is just the first step; the next is articulating those insights back to consumers in a way that connects them to the concept in meaningful and relevant ways.
What Is a Consumer Insight, and How Do I Know When I Have One?
How Do You Create a Culture of Innovation Within Your Organization?
In order for innovation to be effective, it must be a culture within your business, rather than a task. Some companies set aside time during the quarter for innovation or set a goal of focusing on innovation for a month, and then when that time is done, they walk away from it. But in fact, innovation needs to be ongoing, woven into the fabric of the business, rather than a task or a short-term goal.
Collaboration. It's a simple concept, but are you implementing it? You can leverage the diverse perspectives your team offers to thoroughly mine potential consumer insights, product innovation opportunities and advertising strategies.
What Is the Best Way to Overcome Limited Research Budgets When Developing Products and Strategies?
Having unlimited funds to conduct research for product development is not a reality for most companies. So how do you overcome budget limitations and still have a healthy product development program able to generate innovative ideas and strategies?

We were saddened to learn that Penny Nichols, who received a 2015 FAR-West Lifetime Achievement Award for her years as a world-class performer as well as an inspirational music educator, passed away on Sunday following her battle with cancer. She was a much-loved member of our community and we send our deepest condolences to her husband, Mark Rothe, and the other members of her family.
Penny's amazing career began in the mid-60s as part of the Southern California folk scene where she shared stages with the likes of Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt and John McEuen. Her career continued in the San Francisco area during the "Summer of Love" and the late 60s when she opened for bands like Big Brother and the Holding Company, the Jefferson Airplane and Quicksilver Messenger Service at venues like the Fillmore, the Avalon and the Big Sur Folk Festival. It was in this time period when she recorded her first solo record "Penny's Arcade" for Buddha Records. In the 70s, Penny was back in Southern California pursuing her songwriting and singing career as well as performing on many commercials and PSAs, eventually earning a Grammy nomination for her work as part of Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band. Eventually Penny decided to finish her education, earning undergraduate degrees in Music and Psychology and culminating in a Doctorate of Education from Harvard University, while continuing her performing and songwriting career at the same time. While continuing to write and record her music, Penny became an in-demand teacher at music camps throughout the United States and she established four of the most respected songwriting camps in America: SummerSongs East and West and WinterSongs East and West, inspiring and training generations of singer/songwriters.
Included is a playlist-style radio player that automatically plays all of the showcase music from the conference, in order. This is called "FAR-West Music Conference Radio," and it's included as an option from the above coverage page.

(Reuters) - It's always notable when a federal judge presiding over a big class action slashes a fee request by millions of dollars - but I think there's another story lurking beneath the dollar signs in an opinion issued Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh of San Jose.
Three plaintiffs' firms that obtained nearly $170 million for artists and engineers whose job prospects suffered under an alleged no-poaching agreement among animation studios asked Judge Koh to award them $31.5 million for squeezing a $150 million settlement from Disney and Dreamworks. The judge instead granted them $13.8 million. She previously awarded $4.7 million in fees for a smaller classwide settlement, bringing the total fees for plaintiffs' lawyers from Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro and Susman Godfrey to about $18.5 million.

New Orleans Baseball Team Lets Fans Vote for Food-Inspired Names
The New Orleans Zephyrs, a triple-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins, has invited fans to vote for a new team name — and five of the seven options are food-inspired.
New Orleans is a great food town — and the Big Easy's big pride in its culinary pleasures apparently reaches way beyond its amazing eateries and into its minor-league baseball stadiums.
The New Orleans Zephyrs, a triple-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins that makes its home in the Crescent City suburb of Metairie, Louisiana, recently invited fans to suggest a new name for the team. After whittling down the list of proposed monikers, the team has unveiled its seven finalists, inviting the public to vote for their favorites on the team's website.
Among the seven finalists are, as Eater has pointed out, five food-related names: The team could be the Baby Cakes or King Cakes (both of which pay tribute to those Mardi Gras cakes with the plastic babies inside), the Crawfish or the Red Eyes (two names for the "lovable and tasty critters" New Orleans holds festivals to celebrate), or, for sandwich lovers, the Po'boys.
Now, you may be asking yourself, "What, no Beignets or Café au Laits? No Jambalayas or Etouffees?" Alas, no. If you don't like those five names, your only two other options are the non-food-focused Night Owls or Tailgators.
You can vote for your favorite, through July 8, on the Zephyrs website. The team, which is part of the Pacific Coast League, will adopt its newly selected name for the 2017 season. Not that the Zephyrs is such a bad name, really.

Ricciardo replaces Narain at Hispania
Published On Jul 01, 2011 07:00:00 AM
Hispania has confirmed that Daniel Ricciardo will make his Formula 1 racing debut in one of its cars at the British Grand Prix.
Red Bull protege Ricciardo has been third driver for Toro Rosso so far this season, alongside a campaign in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series.
"It's a dream come true for me - for the first time on an F1 starting grid!" said Ricciardo. "I had to pinch myself a couple of times to be sure that it's real. I'm excited and can hardly wait to drive at Silverstone. It's a new challenge, a new experience, a new team, but I'm ready and will give of my best in any event."
The Australian will take Narain Karthikeyan's seat alongside Tonio Liuzzi for all remaining 2011 races bar the Indian Grand Prix, with Karthikeyan still set to run at his home race.
Ricciardo is effectively being loaned to Hispania by Red Bull so the organisation can assess him in a race situation and up against a known quantity in Liuzzi. The Australian had been tipped to replace either Sebastien Buemi or Jaime Alguersuari at Toro Rosso during the season if either's form proved disappointing.
Hispania team chairman Jose Ramon Carabante is optimistic that the deal to run Ricciardo could be the start of a greater collaboration between his squad and Red Bull.
"This agreement is a reward for all the hard work Hispania Racing has shown since we started in Formula 1 last year," he said. "We're proud that the Formula 1 world champion team has trusted us in their effort of developing their drivers. Let's hope that this is just the start of a fruitful relationship."

Working Conditions in India
Although the words 'wages' and 'salary' are commonly used interchangeably, there is a discernible difference between the two. The term 'wages' is used under labour/employment laws to refer to any and all remuneration and emoluments earned by an employee (excluding certain allowances and bonuses) whereas the term 'salary' is used under income tax law to denote the total taxable income received by an employee. It is important to note that different labour law legislations have a different definition of wages. For instance, the EPF Act refers to 'basic wages' which is used as the base for computing employee and employer social security contributions. Basic wages is defined as all payments which are earned by an employee in accordance with the terms of the employment contract. The Wages Act on the other hand, has a much wider definition of wages – here wages is defined as all remuneration (whether by way of salary, allowances, or otherwise) expressed in terms of money or capable of being so expressed, which would, if the terms of employment, express or implied, were fulfilled, be payable to a person employed in respect of his employment.
Maximum Working Week
As a general principle, employees cannot be required to work in any establishment for more than 9 hours a day or 48 hours a week, without attracting overtime payments.
An employee working 'overtime' becomes entitled to wages at the rate of twice his/her ordinary rate of wages and could also be entitled to a compensatory time off.
Employer's Obligation to Provide a Healthy and Safe Workplace
The various State-specific S&E Acts have special provisions with respect to ensuring safety of women who work during night shifts. Employers in such cases are required to ensure that adequate security and transport facilities are provided (at their own cost) to female employees. The FA Act also envisages precautions to be taken against explosives, inflammable gases, dangerous fumes, gases and fire. Non-compliance with provisions of the FA attracts both monetary penalty and imprisonment.
In the terms of the ISEO Act, employees are required to frame grievance redressal mechanisms to address individual worker complaints. In any case as a general practice, most employers have an internal complaint mechanism that details processes employees must follow, in case of any workplace related issues. It is also important to note that India has a standalone legislation pertaining to sexual harassment at the workplace – which prescribes a detailed complaint mechanism for instances of sexual harassment, that all Indian establishments must adhere to.

I am a cognitive psychologist with research interests in learning and memory. My research centers around the idea that memory is not just for remembering the past; it prepares us for the future. I explore this idea by looking at how we use memories to imagine the future and learn new information. My current projects include investigating writing as a learning tool, how failing to remember can actually benefit learning, and the role of curiosity in education.
I graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with my PhD in cognitive psychology in 2013, where I worked primarily with Dr. Kathleen McDermott. Currently, I am a postdoctoral research associate at Duke University working in the Psychology & Neuroscience department primarily with Dr. Elizabeth Marsh.

The catalog for the Serpentiform exhibition, a survey of the serpent in art, jewelry and design. Organized and sponsored by Bulgari, Rome.
Softcover, full color, 230 pages.
What We Are Looking For is What is Looking chronicles the artist Michael Velliquette over a five-year period of his diverse and pluralistic artwork production. Including drawings, installations, public sculpture, and works in cut paper.
Once the domain of the domestic, craft has now infiltrated every creative sphere - including food, fashion, fine art and architecture. If this craft renaissance is indicative of a new wave of keen creatives then The Craft Companion is the ultimate guide to navigating the new craft frontiers.
In poems initially inspired by Aeschylus' fifth-century trilogy "The Oresteia," which chronicles the fall of the House of Atreides, Loose Strife investigates the classical sense of loose strife, namely "to loose battle" or "sow chaos," a concept which is still very much with us more than twenty-five hundred years later.
Serpent Worship is the catalog for Michael Velliquette's solo exhibition at the David Shelton Gallery in Houston, TX. Serpent Worship is a new series of dimensional cut paper constructions by the artist Michael Velliquette. His distinctive works are densely layered, detailed arrangements of cut out shapes from hand-painted and ink-blotted papers. It is a process Velliquette has applied to diverse subjects, image styles, and formal strategies for over a decade. MICHAEL VELLIQUETTE (American, b. 1971) is a mixed media artist known for his works with cut paper. These works engage the nature of matter, sensation, perception, reaction, and consciousness.
Collecting outstanding works in paper from around the world, Paper Secret 1 & 2 inspires readers through the unlimited creativity of the artists and designers profiled in its pages.
Paper is an exquisite and dynamic material. Paper has the flexibility to function as a fashion protagonist and has enough strength to support practical daily uses. Through cutting, gluing, folding, pinning and collage, a common piece of paper evolves into fine art, expressing artists' unique visions. In Paper Play we discover paper's special properties through a selection of innovative and often surprising designs.
Following the critical success of "Illustrators In & Out: What Moves Them and How They Move Art," this book invited 30 new artists to present cutting-edge illustrations in a wide range of styles, alongside their commercial applications. The illustrations and artist interviews focus on how the client's needs influence this form of artistic creation. Through these interesting and wonderful illustrations, the reader can see not only the artist's drive for personal expression but how this is deftly combined with the needs of business.
"Their Arising and Passing Away" is a survey of the recent art of Michael Velliquette, and a followup to his monograph "Lairs of the Unconscious". Velliquette's sculptural cut paper constructions insist on a new spiritual vocabulary, combining aspects of early 20th century formalism and contemporary sensibilities about the handmade with the visual lexicon he has developed over the past decade. Velliquette's vocabulary is bright, dense and ornamental, punctuated with recurring motifs such as hands, eyes, flowers, planets, mandalas and goofy, smiley faces. Velliquette introduces gestural and accidental abstraction to these new works, creating moments both subtle and energizing when contrasted with the more tightly controlled areas. Working from background to foreground, their successive layering creates elaborate dimensional strata. In addition to his work with cut paper, the catalog also survey's his recent mixed media sculpture, installations, and works on paper. With essays by Sara Krajewski, Evan J.

Q: Add mp3 encoded data to an existing mp3 file using Javascript I have an existing mp3 encoded audio blob(1) and a newly recodred mp3 audio data(2), I want to concatenate (1) and (2) resulting in a new mp3 blob(3) of which I will use as a source for the audio tag in my html5 player/recorder.
I'm using the ConcatenateBlobs function to concatenate an array of blobs which the resulting blob is (3).
(3) has  correct audio duration; because it has the duration of (1)+(2).
 Although (3) is playable but stops when the (2) part starts.
 //////Concatenate blobs////////////////
 (function() {
  window.ConcatenateBlobs = function(blobs, type, callback) {
    var buffers = [];

    var index = 0;

    function readAsArrayBuffer() {
        if (!blobs[index]) {
            return concatenateBuffers();
        }
        var reader = new FileReader();
        reader.onload = function(event) {
            buffers.push(event.target.result);
            index++;
            readAsArrayBuffer();
        };
        reader.readAsArrayBuffer(blobs[index]);
    }

    readAsArrayBuffer();

    function concatenateBuffers() {
        var byteLength = 0;
        buffers.forEach(function(buffer) {
            byteLength += buffer.byteLength;
        });

        var tmp = new Uint8Array(byteLength);
        var lastOffset = 0;
        buffers.forEach(function(buffer) {
            // BYTES_PER_ELEMENT == 2 for Uint16Array
            var reusableByteLength = buffer.byteLength;
            if (reusableByteLength % 2 !== 0) {
                buffer = buffer.slice(0, reusableByteLength - 1);
            }
            tmp.set(new Uint8Array(buffer), lastOffset);
            lastOffset += reusableByteLength;
        });

        var blob = new Blob([tmp.buffer], {
            type: type
        });

        callback(blob);
    }
};
})();
/////////////////where i use ConcatenateBlobs function////////////////

var old_blob;
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('GET', $('.player audio source').attr("src"), true);
xhr.responseType = 'blob';
xhr.onload = function(e) {
    if (this.status === 200) {

        console.log("THE NEW RECORDED TRACK = " + blob.size);
        old_blob = this.response;
        console.log("THE LOADED TRACK = " + old_blob.size);
        ConcatenateBlobs([old_blob, blob], 'audio/mp3', function(resultingBlob) {
            console.log("THE RESULTING BLOB = " + resultingBlob.size);
            var url = URL.createObjectURL(resultingBlob);
             console.log("THE RESULTING BLOB = " + resultingBlob.size);
            $('.player audio source').attr("src", url);
            audio.load();
        });
    }
};
xhr.send();

I want to know what's the correct way of doing this.

Harrow heroes rescue kids from fire
CARETAKERS rescued three trapped children from a burning building after breaking down the door.
Heroes Tony Johnson (left) and Bill Bearden with 11-year-old Idris Barre
Bill Bearden and Tony Johnson, who work for Harrow Council estates, were driving past the house in Headstone Drive, Harrow Weald, last Thursday when they spotted smoke billowing from a skylight.
The duo parked and broke down the door to find two frightened children taking cover in the living room.
Mr Bearden, 43, said: "There were two children downstairs. They were pretty scared and worried.
"We were told by the older one, who was about 15, that there was a boy
upstairs in the loft, where the fire had started, so I rushed up there and without a thought, began searching."
As Mr Bearden broke down the door, he was confronted with the searing heat of the flames and acrid smoke. He said: "I breathed in so much smoke but I was determined to find the boy. When I saw him I carried him out before leaving with Tony and the other children."
Mr Johnson, 39, said: "We didn't think about going in. It was just one of those things you do. We are just glad that little boy is okay."
That boy was 11-year-old Idris Barre, who had been left with his older brother and sister, while his father Hassan Barre, 41, and mother Sukri Ali, 39, were at the hospital. Speaking after his son was pulled from the house, Mr Barre thanked the pair. He said: "My daughter called me
about the fire and we rushed back. We were very upset.
"These two men saved our son's life and God will reward them."
Their bravery was also applauded by Councillor Barry Macleod-Cullinane (Con), who is responsible for housing.
He said: "Our two caretakers displayed admirable courage and initiative in saving
the life of a young boy, trapped in a blazing room. Their bravery and quick-thinking got them into the house and out again in minimal time, getting this young boy to safety - actions going above and beyond the call of duty."
The fire brigade quickly brought the fire under control. An investigation into its cause has been start*ed.

Where Will the S&P 500 Be in a Year?
How high can US equity markets go? For a sense of the S&P 500's direction, we conducted an informal poll of readers of CFA Institute Financial NewsBrief for their perspective on where they see the index a year from now.
Despite the euphoria in the Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump camps, there remains a great deal of uncertainty about the outcome of this election and what it will mean for the United States and the country's standing on the world stage. This uncertainty extends to the effect of US elections on stock prices, judging by the voluminous and often contradictory research on the topic.
Investors should fear missing out on the best gains more than suffering the worst losses, says Michael Batnick, CFA. If you never attempt to avoid the worst weeks, you'll never have to worry about missing the best weeks.
Despite Wall Street expectations that the S&P 500 would rise 8% in 2016, the index fell 7% in December and January. Five points of that decline came in January alone. But January's slide was only just greater than one standard deviation move. As we'll see, one month can handily destroy expectations going forward.
Poll: What Poses the Greatest Threat to Global Equity Markets?
As most global stock markets have been on a tear of late, we thought it would be timely to ask readers what posed the greatest threat to equity markets. Over 37% of the 974 respondents to this poll believe that a global economic slowdown is the greatest risk to stocks.
Depending on who you talk to, or which articles and headlines you read, the responses run the gamut. Here's a quick summary of some of the most recent research on how presidential politics impacts equities.


The whole experience of our holidays form the initial planning states, through various different itineraries and fine tuning of the final itinerary to the holidays itseld has been excellent, mostly down to Amit's patience, perseverance and organization. Amit has excellent people skills. Through our many e-mail conversation he gained a full understanding to our requirements and then fully met if not exceeded our expectations. Amit skills were invaluable when we arrived in Delhhi on 22nd March for which we are both very grateful. He dealt with the India Airlines issue extremely well; efficiently and with considerable patience. We look forward to working with him again for our next trip to India and we will highly recommend both Max Holidays and Amit when we set back home. Thank you for a wonderful holiday experience.
We would like to praise and recommend Mr. Wilson, our driver, he had a good presentation, was always punctual, patient stopping every time we wanted to take photos and explained several things in our way about India History, nature or tradition. Our next recommendation is the "Chef" of our houseboat. His Kitchen had always an open door for us and he adapted the food according to our taste. Our last praise is for Amit Dhingra, our contact with Max Holidays, he was always available to talk to us and solve any problem that might happen during our trip. Our experience with Max Holidays was very good and we would recommend their services.
The sights were beautiful. Ample of time was given for each venue that was visited.
Most of the guided were able to provide a detailed explanation of the area that we visited. A suggestion would be to provide a guide who follow the driver throughout the trip. We think the guide in Agra (Govind) and Jaipur (Sunil), Udaipur and Delhi were better than others.
Overall we enjoyed our first time in the Northern part of India. We were welcomed by Amit very well and we had wonderful hotels provided to us, especially The lalit Laxmi Vilas Palace.
Hi Max, We are back at home after the wonderful visit to India and Nepal organised by your expert team. Each day and every aspect of it was so wonderfully organised and it exceeded our expectations for sure. The hotels, meals, drivers, vehicles everything was just 'perfect'. Please convey our special thanks to Mr. Vishal Gogia who has been the most generous person we came across during our trip. We like to admit that we are in love with your beautiful country and we will surely refer your services to all our friends here.
The services we received were fantastic and Max Holidays team deserves extra appreciation for the personalised attention given to even the very small part of their service. We are very happy with our holidays to India which were organised by Max. For our family it was just like a dream vacations and we feel lucky for coming across this company through internet and I must thank the owner of the Company Mr. Vishal Gogia for taking care of us and calling us mostly everyday to ensure that we are enjoying the trip.
For me it was a great way to explore the nearby attractions during business trip to Bangalore. Halebidu and Belur temples are amazing. I keep travelling to different cities in India for business and I am simply in love with your style of organising the quick tours which gives me so much of flexibility, freedom and at the same time they are well organised and well executed. Thanks Max for your extra work for arranging drop off for me to the airport the following morning.
I and my girlfriend have recently travelled in Palace on Wheels luxury train of India booked through the Indian agent Max Holidays. I must admit that the Company is having very professional approach towards its business and extends high level of attention to the requirements of its customers. Booking luxury train with Max Holidays took off the extra burden from me and feels lucky now to have believed in this Company. Well done Vishal and team ! Best of luck. Gary Smith, United Kingdom We spent good time with innocent and calm elephants at your farm near Jaipur. We had elephant experience earlier in other countries but this one was the best. During the sightseeing trip our tour guide was just fantastic and his knowledge about the culture of India was great. My teen boys are already talking about coming to India with me again and enjoying such trips which gives them a different experience they never had before. India is really incredible!
I would like to that you for organizing such an interesting tour. Your organization has been impressing we feet you always very close to us. We'll suggest to any friend to contact you for their holidays in India.
Namaste dear Vishal Gogia ! We arrived safely back home on Sunday after a most enjoyable tour to India in luxury train Maharaja's Express. We wish to thank you and your colleagues Rohini Narang for your hospitality and good services for us. The entire family of Max was so helpful as you guys made our trip to India the best of our life. We are coming back to India soon and this time w2e would like to explore South India under your guidance and services.
The Sightseeing in Jaipur and Agra were arrange very properly. Advises and options given by advisors were very helpful. Though the guide in New Delhi could been better if he explained move about the visited monuments and what really made this trip. A benchmark our trip best transporter Mr. Harpal, he was the person who we spend most of our time with "in the roads" and he made each trip a very nice journey.
I have returned to home after a long and hectic business trip to India. I stayed in Mumbai for quite a long time and wanted to explore some beautiful locations around. I booked a Wine tour and Dabbawala tour (Tiffin system) with your agency and though Wine trip to Nashik was close to my heart (bcos I love Indian wines LoL) but to be very honest both the trips were perfectly arranged and the drivers on both the trips were very friendly and a great support.
Thank you very much for your good service and very good offer for luxury train tour for our honeymoon. Me and my husband liked the honeymoon trip on the train and we both are very happy to come to India. We now want to send you a gift for your good job which you will receive by courier in few days. I told about you to my friends and they will contact you for similar tour booking. Please give them same standard service for best tour in India. I love your country.


In the days following surgery, your orthopaedic surgeon, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses and physical and occupational therapists will closely monitor your condition and progress. You'll spend a great deal of time exercising your new joint. Gradually you will become increasingly mobile and confident in your new joint. When you get home, keep up the exercise program you learned in the hospital according to the directions from your surgeon and physical therapist. You may see your physical therapist for several in-home treatments. Your physical therapist will also make recommendations about your safety, review your exercise program and continue working with you on range of motion.
It is recommended to expect to regain strength and endurance as you begin to take on more of your normal daily routine. However, your orthopaedic surgeon and physical therapist will outline a specific plan that you should follow. Your post-surgical pain should be temporary.. Most patients with artificial joints are able to enjoy many activities, though some should be avoided. In general, high impact exercises, such as running, jumping, heavyweight lifting, or contact sports, are not recommended. Participating in these activities, or activities like them, may damage your joint or cause it to wear down much more quickly. Please always ask your surgeon because you have to remember that some activities are not adviseable after you have been prosthesized. Low impact activities such as swimming and walking are encouraged, subject to your surgeon's recommendation.


(1) An amendment to establish a special category of illegal aliens which includes all males between the ages of 18 and 30 from countries with significant jihadist networks, with that list of countries to be determined by the DoD, the CIA and State. No probationary Z visas under Section 601(h) would issue to such illegals. A special visa could issue, but one that required special care in the background checks and special restrictions on the movement of such applicants until after their background checks were complete.
(2) Construction of at least half of the double-fencing prior to the issuance of a single probationary visa, and completion of all 800+ miles of the double fencing prior to the issuance of any 4 year Z visa or any Y visa.
(3) Acceleration of the six-year build-up in the authorized level of Border Patrol agents so that its number of agents reaches 25,000 within 3 years with the funding for their hiring in place. This should be another hard trigger.
(4) A detailed statement of how and by whom the millions of background checks and interviews called for by the act are to be done, with funding authorized and allocated to support such obligations. This should also be a trigger.
(5) A set of easy to read ceilings on Y visas which cannot be raised except by Congressional directive.
That would be a start.
Under the compromise, 400,000 guest workers each year will get special visas that could be renewed up to three times for two years. Four million more would be allowed to come in under generous family provisions. So there will be a big jump in newcomers.
Troubling, too, are the so-called Z-Visas for which those now here illegally will be eligible. This document will give those here illegally access to driver's licenses and Social Security numbers. If that's not amnesty, nothing is.
That said, the bill has some positive features. For example, it starts to move us away from an immigration system based on family ties to one based on merit and skills. This is important. It also seems to commit the government to securing the border before the rest of the provisions take effect. If security isn't first, it will fail.
Further negotiation is no doubt on the way. A common-sense starting point might be Rudy Giuliani's idea of securing the border first, then making sure all who come are fingerprinted and have tamper-proof IDs. So let the negotiating begin.

Q: Exception: Unexpected end of ZLIB input stream There is something wrong with GZIPInputStream or GZIPOutputStream. Just please read the following code (or run it and see what happens):
def main(a: Array[String]) {
    val name = "test.dat"
    new GZIPOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(name)).write(10)
    println(new GZIPInputStream(new FileInputStream(name)).read())
}

It creates a file test.dat, writes a single byte 10 formatting by GZIP, and read the byte in the same file with the same format.
And this is what I got running it:
Exception in thread "main" java.io.EOFException: Unexpected end of ZLIB input stream
    at java.util.zip.InflaterInputStream.fill(Unknown Source)
    at java.util.zip.InflaterInputStream.read(Unknown Source)
    at java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream.read(Unknown Source)
    at java.util.zip.InflaterInputStream.read(Unknown Source)
    at nbt.Test$.main(Test.scala:13)
    at nbt.Test.main(Test.scala)

The reading line seems going the wrong way for some reason.
I googled the error Unexpected end of ZLIB input stream and found some bug reports to Oracle, which were issued around 2007-2010. So I guess the bug still remains in some way, but I'm not sure if my code is right, so let me post this here and listen to your advice. Thank you!

A: You have to call close() on the GZIPOutputStream before you attempt to read it.  The final bytes of the file will only be written when the stream object is actually closed.
(This is irrespective of any explicit buffering in the output stack.  The stream only knows to compress and write the last bytes when you tell it to close.  A flush() won't help ... though calling finish() instead of close() should work. Look at the javadocs.)
Here's the correct code (in Java);
package test;

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream;
import java.util.zip.GZIPOutputStream;

public class GZipTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws
                FileNotFoundException, IOException {
        String name = "/tmp/test";
        GZIPOutputStream gz = new GZIPOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(name));
        gz.write(10);
        gz.close();       // Remove this to reproduce the reported bug
        System.out.println(new GZIPInputStream(new FileInputStream(name)).read());
    }
}

(I've not implemented resource management or exception handling / reporting properly as they are not relevant to the purpose of this code.  Don't treat this as an example of "good code".)


How to Get Support: A member of our support team will talk with you first to determine the nature of the problem. You will find the answers to security questions and system configuration requirements on our FAQ page. You can also view a demonstration of a screen-sharing session.
Step 1: Once you are on the phone with a member of our support team, you will be directed back to this page to initiate the screen-sharing session.
