UK – The context in which digital advertising is viewed has a significant impact on its effectiveness according to research by Lumen for Newsworks.
Mike Follett (pictured), managing director, Lumen said: "The more you engage with the content, the more you look at the ads – it's a virtual circle.
"With so much content competing for our eyeballs in the digital landscape, as well as advertisers' concerns over measurability and transparency, newsbrands are providing an engaging online context for advertisers to reach consumers."
At Newsworks effectiveness summit, where Follett presented his findings, he also pointed out that with attention to advertising so fleeting, even on a digital platform the more emotional advertising encouraged greater engagement.
"Engagement with advertising is shorter than you might think. In print, with high viewability and large size ads, they are extremely effective at getting, and holding, attention. Digital could learn a lot from print (and out of home) advertising."
He found that only about 20% of technically viewable ads actually get viewed (where viewability is counted at 50% of pixels seen for at least one second). People need to look at an ad for at least 1.5 to 2 seconds to get any level of brand recall.
"Brands can outperform the market if they invest in quality inventory," he added. "Newsbrands tend to adopt a 'fewer, better ads' approach which concentrates attention on advertising."
At the event, Newsworks CEO Vanessa Clifford and Group M's managing director, digital trading Robin O'Neill also announced they were establishing a partnership to explore the value of quality context.
Prior to rolling out the large-scale project, Group M conducted a 'proof of concept' test analysing the engagement and brand scores of five campaigns and allying the results with quality of inventory.
The number of campaigns covered will now increase to more than 50 within eight months, with the aim of proving that quality brand environments deliver better value for advertisers. The first round of results will be released in the autumn and the eventual goal of the project is to make the results an actionable factor in trading.
O'Neill said: "We believe that viewability and engagement with digital advertising, not just potential exposure, is vital for brand success. Our aim is to make this a factor in trading, just as much as numbers of people and impressions."

IN REPERTORY
ARTBORETUM
Teatro de Ciertos Habitantes
Founded in 1997, Teatro de Ciertos Habitantes (Certain Inhabitants Theatre) has had a singular trajectory based on the premise of many hours of laboratory research that produce few and highly recognized productions worldwide. In their constant search for renewal, each staging of this iconic collective has been conceived by way of different challenges and artistic processes. The company has maintained a commitment to its conception and vision of art as service, even though the content and form of each stage production is vastly different. Likewise, the company has constantly privileged the development of a multidisciplinary performer - demanding the best of their abilities - as the primary form of communication with the spectator.
The company has trained multiple artists, creative producers and promoters of all nationalities, who in turn they have brought the experiences acquired to their own projects. Throughout more than two decades, Teatro de Ciertos Habitantes has opened unexplored routes for Mexican theatre and has innovated forms of stage production, inspiring and motivating many other companies. In addition to their stage work, the company has created fiction and documentary films, television programs, radio series, book editions, recordings, conferences, and workshops. With the validation and the experience accumulated through the years, the current interests of the company have extended to the transmission of knowledge, and the active participation in social and ecological projects through its center for creation, education, and collaboration in the performing arts: ArtBoretum.
Teatro de Ciertos Habitantes has performed in more than 200 cities, in the most prestigious festivals and theaters of the world, as well as in remote towns often excluded from theatrical experiences. The company has the support of the "México en Escena" program by the FONCA (National Fund for Culture and Arts).

The Old Union Depot Hotel (previously known as the Union Hotel and Cafe) was a historic hotel and commercial building in Tampa, Florida, United States. The building was constructed in 1912 at 858 East Zack Street, directly across Nebraska Avenue from Tampa Union Station.  On December 11, 2000, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, however, the building was torn down on May 23, 2010.

Built as one of twelve continuous, two-story, brick storefronts around the intersection of Nebraska Avenue and East Zack Street, on the northeastern edge of downtown Tampa, the building had six sides, an unusual design made necessary by the irregular shape of the lot upon which it was built.  The hotel and its neighboring businesses generally catered to train passengers arriving at Union Station, which like the hotel, first opened in 1912.  Of those dozen commercial buildings, the Union Hotel structure was the last to remain standing.  Its standing as a hotel, however, could not last indefinitely, and after a period of time the Union Hotel and Cafe closed.  The building was boarded up and sat vacant for a period of many years, during which time it failed to attract any new occupants.

On December 11, 2000, the Old Union Depot Hotel building was recognized with a listing in the U.S. National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).  It had been hoped that the historic status and accompanying tax incentives would be catalysts towards restoration and preservation of the building, but unfortunately, this would not be the case.  After a lengthy period of disuse, and nearly a decade after its NRHP designation, the building suffered a collapse of its roof and was deemed to be hazardous.  The city of Tampa condemned the structure and ordered its demolition, which took place on May 23, 2010.

The Union Hotel and Cafe began its operations during the era of racial segregation, and functioned as an establishment for "whites only".  Train passengers and other travelers who were black were directed about one block west from the hotel along Zack Street to the Jackson House, a rooming house which was one of the only lodging establishments in the city for blacks.  The Jackson Rooming House building, incidentally, was built during the same period as the Union Depot Hotel, and is also NRHP-listed.

If you're looking for removable pool fence options you should start by considering the purpose of the pool fence. I posted recently about the suitability of removable pool fences for use in Australia so if you're reading this in Aus and considering one, you should really go there and read about the limitations and unsuitability of having a removable fence around your pool.
There's a number of pool fence companies overseas making a similar product that are all variations of the "screw the fence poles or posts into your deck" theme. This is basically pool fence panels made of aluminium or steel poles, that hold up a mesh (usually reinforced fabric) panel.
You then drill holes into the surface around your pool and screw the bottom of the poles of these panels into them, making a pool fence section by section.
That gives you the option to easily unscrew and remove the fence panels.
It's a cheap way to put up a removable pool fence but I'm not convinced by the strength of those eye hook and clasp arrangements that clip each panel together.
Removable pool fence panels clipped together with hook and eyelet.
They don't look like they would last very long or even withstand the beating that kids playing in your backyard near the pool are going to give the fence.
We offer the 2 strongest poles available when measured by break strength and mesh material that cannot be torn under normal circumstances. Mesh removable fences are not indestructible. If enough force hit a pole at the right point a pole can bend or break. However, because the force needs to be high on the pole and requires a lot of weight and velocity for this to happen, it is not children who ever bend or break poles. The mesh material can be cut with a sharp object such as a knife or scissors. Both the mesh and poles can be repaired if damaged.
The bolding in that quote is mine and I've done it to highlight my two main concerns.
First of all I'd be very concerned about those aluminium poles being bent out of shape, that happens and straight away the integrity of your fence is partially compromised.
There's another US company protect-a-child who address this pol strength concern by offering composite fiberglass pool fence posts that they insist are so strong they offer a lifetime warranty against "breakage or becoming crooked".
That sounds good enough to ally my worry about the strength of the fence posts, but competitor Guardian Pool Fence counters the use of fiberglass by suggesting that if a fiberglass pole does break then the fibres can be a serious health hazard potentially causing "irritation of the eyes, skin, or respiratory tract and, here in California (as of 1991), must be labeled as a potential cancer causing material." A pool fence pole with the potential to cause cancer?! Almost as big a cancer risk as just lying around in the harsh Australian sun without protection. Probably not, but I agree that you don't want a broken splintered fiberglass pole in your backyard if your pool fence takes a big impact hit.
My second concern is around the panel mesh.
Screw in pool fence poles and mesh panels allow easy removal.
Protectachild say their pool fence mesh is "impact-absorbent" and the suggestion is that if your child runs (or crashes their scooter) into the fence they won't get hurt as much as if they crash or bump into a solid fence made with, say… glass.
I'm calling BS on the usefulness of that feature because the purpose of a pool fence is exactly that. To be so strong in keeping young kids out of the pool area that yes they might get hurt if they run right into it. I'd rather some bumps and bruises than my child falling into the pool and drowning.
Then there's the strength of the mesh itself.
In most of these products the mesh is made from PVC-coated polyester or plastic or similar. Which means that it's UV resistant so it will survive in the sun, and it's tear proof so your kids won't be able to just leap through it like running through a cheer-squad banner onto the footy field. But resistant to being cut or sliced? Er, no.
Now I'm pretty careful about my three year old not getting access to a pair of scissors. But in the unlikely scenario that he did, I sure wouldn't want him to be able to slice through the pool fence with them!
Guardian Pool Fence Systems in the US make a "no holes" pool fence system that is essentially a series of pool fence panels held up by polyethylene bases that you fill with water or sand to make them heavy and stable.
The "no holes" removable pool fence – panels supported by heavy plastic bases.
Kind of like the base of a portable at-home basketball ring or a base that supports a large outdoor umbrella.
On their own each base probably isn't particularly sturdy. But they hook together which I think would make them substantially more sturdy as the combined weight makes the bases very hard to move or push over.
And as for the fence mesh in the panels? Same considerable issues as we outlined above.
In the US, it seems to be that removable pool fence products are pitched as a safe alternative to otherwise having NO pool fence. And you can't argue with that.
A removable pool fence is always going to make your pool safer than if you have no fence at all. The simple act of having a significant barrier to prevent young kids from accessing the pool unsupervised is going to make the pool area safer and reduce the risk of children drowning.
But as for whether you'd install and use a removable pool fence in Australia? Well I'm glad we have really strict regulations and pool fence laws that say a removable pool fence just isn't good enough in Australia.

OnePlus today announced its latest premium flagship device, the OnePlus 6. The OnePlus 6 – the first in OnePlus' line of flagships to feature an all-glass design – is the company's most sophisticated handset to date.With a 6.28-inch Full Optic AMOLED 19:9 display – OnePlus' largest-ever screen – the OnePlus 6 offers an immersive viewing experience, while keeping a similar form factor to that of the OnePlus 5T.
Addressing a common pain point among smartphone users, The OnePlus 6 is powered by one of the most powerful processors on the market, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, which improves performance by 30%, while being 10% more power efficient. Coupled with the Adreno 630, which is 30% faster than the previous generation, the OnePlus 6 is a powerhouse for everything from streaming HD video to playing graphically intense games.
OnePlus 6 is beautiful and functional in equal measure – now, with more screen than ever before. To provide users with as much screen real estate as possible, OnePlus designed the navigation bar so that it can be replaced with gesture control, freeing up even more viewing space for a cleaner look.
OnePlus' meticulous attention to detail is reflected in each of the OnePlus6's color variants: Mirror Black, Midnight Black and a limited-edition Silk White. For the Mirror Black and Midnight Black variants, OnePlus embedded a thin layer of film underneath the glass to create a sense of depth as light and shadow move on the device. A jagged texture was etched onto the film of the Midnight Black to produce a subtle S-shaped line when the phone is reflected in light. The limited-edition Silk White uses pearl powder to create a subtle shimmering effect.

I've had a few different diagnosis' over the past three years. The first one was Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, this is what I believe is the problem, because I can feel blocked glands and can also see one of the bad ones myself in a magnifying mirror. But I have also been told its Ocular Rosacea, based only on the fact I was suffering from a little bit of acne the once when I was at the Eye Infirm, the doctor said spots are a sign of it... I don't really have redness though so not sure... and *touch wood* my acne cleared up by a year later. I actually visited an optician today, he said that based on the look of my eyelids (puffy and a little red) he thinks theres some bleph going on aswell. What he didn't know... was that a few hours before i'd been crying my eyes out, haha, so thats probably why my eyelids were all puffy!!
I think that I have Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. That I think was triggered after a stressful time in 2012 after which I also put on weight for no reason, had acne for the first time in my life at 21 and my periods became very light. It all happened at the same time. Luckily, things are better for me now, my periods are heavier again, I suffer a little acne only at that time of the month and don't break out in the angry big red lumps that I did. And I did loose weight with no trying (putting a little on again though now I think. ) The Dry Eye stayed of course, I was told today this is a life long thing that will always need managing... I was trying my best not to burst out crying in front of him again! I told him 'Im only 24' and he said its just one of those things, people get diseases at any age. I def think my eye problems were caused by a hormonal imbalance.
I think your 'trigger' sounds like a hormone thing also. Im just still finding it difficult to come to terms with at my young age. I keep reading how people most likely affected are menopausal women and older people... and when i've been to the Eye Infirm im always the youngest in that waiting room. I think if I was say 20/30 years older then I may have been able to deal with it better and probably would think it was indeed 'just one of those things'. I take Citalopram (low dose anti depressant) but I wasn't taking this when I developed dry eye, I started taking it July 2014 so two years after the onset. Have you had any blood tests? Hormonal ones?
Everything seems to take a while with doctors these days! Ugh. And aww. I totally understand. I have no quality of life anymore either, I just plod along day to day... I have two jobs and I sometimes wonder how I manage to keep them because if im having a bad eye day, oh the amount of mistakes I make is not unnoticed! I've had blood tests, the one result which always interested me but the doctors said were 'normal' was my testosterone level. It came out 0.6 nmol/L I think, which after some research I found was on the low side. (Oddly, since I was suffering awful acne and oily skin at the time of the testing!) I think hormones are difficult to test, esp on the NHS they just won't look into them deeply enough... and of course they are always changing with our cycle.
Well the Citalopram was initially a really positive thing for me, things were getting easier and people would tell me I was smiling alot more! No change on my eyes though, nothing atall. Sadly the good effects of Citalopram wore off after a few months and I found myself back in the same position as before... That said, I don't want to come off them right now cause I think I deal with situations better ON them, but the flat feeling is back. I have tried to up my dose to 20mg a few times and that DID affect my eyes to the point where I could only manage a few days on them before I went back to my 10mg. Im not sure if thats a coincidence or not, but I do remember walking round a shopping centre feeling horrendous because my eyes felt so dry and clogged.
Now I'm back in the UK and ugh...I had to wait 2 months for an optho appointment. Back to the crappy equipment and zero tests. I had run out the the Restasis I was on in Korea, as well as an eyedrop that increases mucus production. Apparently neither of these are available here. The doctor hadn't even heard of restasis and refused to believe I'd had cyclosporine eyedrops. She kept tying to fob me off with lubricants. I lost it (didn't help they were running 45 mins late first thing in the morning) and demanded to see someone else, so she brought in someone else, i assume he was in charge. He, thankfully, seemed to be aware of Restasis but said it's not in the UK, and that something similar will be on the market soon. He's put me on FML steroids once a day for 2 months until i go back, when he says i can get some cyclosporine drops...here's hoping. Neither of them bothered to look into the mucus drops no matter how much i kept asking about it.
Honestly though, when this first started I paid £250 to go to a fancy London hospital and it was just as bad. Same crappy equipment, no tests...all the want to do is give you lubricants.
All I can suggest to anyone is do your own research, and don't take no for an answer. When I go back I'm going to also try pushing for something new. I want to cure this, not just live with it.
Slightly off topic but my experience of healthcare abroad has made me really resent the NHS. My eyes are not the only problem I have had, and every experience has always been the same. Wait ages to see anyone and then they basically can't be arsed to ever find out a cause or a cure. Sure it's nice to not have to think about the costs of healthcare, but it seems like unless you have urgent, life-threatening problems then the NHS can be a huge waste of time.

I just wanted to give those who are yet to see an nhs optometrist that they are not all bad, I finally saw one last month after nine months waiting (I've sccen several private optometrists since but went hoping I could get my meds on the nhs) and couldn't actually cure me of cause but I knew that , but told me he believes there is a strong link between dry eye and stress and he's scene clients make a 90 percent recovery when they have dealt with there anxiety and depression and given it some time to settle after they've reach this point. He actually said there was a studie out just this year proving a link to stress in the brain and the tear production, gave me some hope and he was a nice guy. It a was just good to meet someone open minded.
Totally agree about useless health care and testing here though, some times I think about moving to America just so I can try the medicine and professionals they have there, which is so advanced compared to this backward country! . Ironically its actually a place In northern island I believe in the that makes the resis! Yet-----we can't get it, in the UK.
I totally agree with your doctor Waterbee , i think there is a link between depression and dry eyes , at least when problems began , then the inflammation take all the place. Can you show us those studies?
I agree with Liz, it's good to rule out these things. I actually saw one this week and they did blood tests and even an xray to rule out a few things (I've had joint issues around the time my dry eye started, well a few months after) My blood tests came back normal but I was unconvinced it wasn'tt Sjogrens until I saw an a Rheumatologist who told me I can tell you with out doubt it's not that. What was it then?
tests showed it was weakening of my core stomach muscles and back due to a hard pregnancy (back to back baby) and it had been left untreated and was effecting my whole body and My lower side was in a constant cramp and it had even effected my circulation and jaw......i never imagined it wasn't related to my dry eyes. With physical therapy I should be able to improve my life quite a bit in time, I'm so glad I went and I have a chance to reverse the physical effects.
As for my eyes? He was certainly upbeat about them, seemed to think they would fully recover when I stopped my medication which he said made dry eye happened, I all ready stopped it for three weeks when this all started I replied and besides I have been on this medication for four years and it never effected me? And I can't sleep without it so I feel much worse....Oh give it a while he said, it will take time. I'm pretty sure dry eye never goes away..not 100%, maybe 70% with maintains....I said looking at him some what unconvinced...he just nodded calmly and said you must gets lots of sleep and stop taking that medication and be patient.
If he was first medical professionals to have told me that I would be really excited, but I've lost a bit of faith in the medical world regarding dry eye...but it's nice that I left with hope for my eyes too..
Even if it was just a little.

Paddel (plural: paddlar) () är en typ av handkontroll till tv-spel, datorspel och annan programvara. Den består av en handenhet på vilken en liten vridbar ratt är fäst. Styrutslaget är analogt och proportionellt mot rattens vridning i förhållande till utgångsläget. Ofta finns även en eller flera funktionsknappar vid sidan av ratten. På de flesta paddlar återgår inte ratten till ursprungsläget om den släpps, något som är vanligt på andra typer av spelkontroller. Den här typen av handkontroll var vanlig till de allra första tv-spelen, till exempel pong, men har numera nästan helt försvunnit.

Doolittle Raid on Tokyo
In April 1942, sixteen twin-engine B-25 Mitchell bombers, launched from the aircraft carrier Hornet, attacked Japan. The daring raid, led by Lieutenant Colonel James H. Doolittle, designed to boost American morale after the Pearl Harbor attack, also demonstrated the feasibility of launching bombers from an aircraft carrier.
Despite the enthusiastic report in this video, the raid actually caused little material damage, with strikes only to non-military targets or complete misses. It was, however, a propaganda victory and cast doubt in the mind's of Japanese citizens regarding the ability of their military to defend their home islands. After the attack, Japan also withdrew its aircraft carriers from the Indian Ocean to protect the homeland.
Fifteen of the B-25s reached China; one landed in the Soviet Union. All but three of the crew survived. Eight were captured by the Japanese Army in China and three were executed. The crew of the B-25 that landed at Vladivostok was interned for more than a year in the Soviet Union. Fourteen crews, except for one crewman, returned either to the United States or to American forces.


The Pure Joy Moving Company was formed in 1978 to allow those dance students with exceptional ability, combined with dedication and motivation to experience the 'dance workshop' environment. Since the inception of PJMC, over 200 dancers have enjoyed the specialized and focused training this workshop provides. Dancers are culled from the student body at MacKinnon Dance Academy. Those who show promise, have great attendance, and who enjoy dance as their primary activity are the only ones considered for selection.
The PJMC has performed in four of their own concerts to sold-out audiences, as well as hundreds of club dates and community based programs. The PJMC of 1994 was invited to China as part of a cultural exchange, where they performed six weeks with Russian and Chinese Dancers.
Our Highland Choreography group consists of selected senior dancers from the Highland Dance Department. The choreography group, recently renamed 'FLORA' in honor of Joy's Scottish Grandmother, performs dances which utilize their ballet, jazz, and tap techniques, but are dominated by the Highland dance vocabulary. All dancers have or have been competitors in Scottish Highland Dance events throughout the country. This group is by invitation only. If your group would like to book 'Flora' for a performance, please call the studio at (805) 485-0115 and ask to speak with Joy MacKinnon, Director of Flora or by email at joy@mackinnondanceacademy.com.
Pumping Metal Tappers is a dynamic group of entertainers that have been together for about six years. They have literally "grown-up" together, both as youngsters and as developing dancers. Three complete evening concerts have been presented by the Pumping Metal Tappers as well as dozens of club dates and special dates. Their energy and sense of fun is what makes this group worth watching.
Pumping Metal Tappers are MacKinnon Dance Academy based. The choreographer is Anna Reed Sanchez. The Pumping Metal Tappers are a unique group of terpsichorean experts. Their playful interpretations of rhythms and styles will add an exciting dimension to your next special event. The group is available for hire.

Pointe techniques are part of classic ballet techniques that center around pointe work, in which a ballet dancer supports ALL body weight on the tips of fully extended feet. A dancer is said to be en pointe when the dancer's body is supported in this manner, and a fully extended vertical foot is said to be en pointe when touching the floor, even when not bearing weight. Pointe work is performed while wearing pointe shoes. Pointe shoes employ structural reinforcing to distribute the dancer's weight load throughout the foot, thus reducing the load on the toes enough to enable the dancer to support all body weight on fully vertical feet. Pointe technique resulted from a desire for female dancers to appear weightless and sylph like. Although both men and women are capable of pointe work, it is most often performed by women. Extensive training and practice are required to develop the strength and technique needed for pointe work.
Although age is not a prerequisite, many ballet students do not begin to dance en pointe earlier than approximately eleven years of age because bones in the feet are often too soft prior to that age and, in such cases, serious and permanent foot injuries could result from staring pointe work too early. Exceptions may be made if the dancer teacher or a physician has determined that a dancer's feet have sufficiently ossified, and it is not uncommon for dancers to begin pointe work as early as age nine. Otherwise, ballet students are generally ready to begin pointe work after achieving competency in fundamental ballet technique. For example, before learning pointe work, a dancer must be able to maintain turnout while performing center combinations, hold a proper ballet position with straight back and good turnout, pull on properly in the legs, and balance securely in relive.
Preparation for pointe work is a gradual process that begins with barre exercises to develop the requisite strength in ankles, feet, and legs. These exercises may vary in accordance with a teacher's preferences and, if applicable, the training method's syllabus. The firs exercises at the barre are usually relevé and échappes. When the student is comfortable executing these steps on both feet and sufficiently strong, steps ending on one en pointe foot are introduced, such as pas de bourrée and retire. During each class session, a student will move on to center exercises after completing the barre work. These exercises emphasize various aspects of ballet technique, such as turnout, pointing of the toes, and the use of ballet technique while en pointe.


Our sporty spin on a ballerina. We've kept the classic feminine silhouette but engineered it in ultra-light, stretch materials - this version in Stripknit™, shimmering woven metallic elastic. Then added our new Anatomiflex™ midsoles, with a hyper-flexible design and 'bouncy' cushioning for amazing underfoot comfort. The result? A sneaker-ballerina that'll keep the competition on their toes.

Brief Profile: EC\'s include the usual: volunteering, research, intramurals, leadership in my professional society, baking lemon squares, growing patchy facial hair, swinging through jungle vines and beating my chest as i give a mighty jungle-cry, fighting crime in a cape, serving up a nice hot stack of justice pancakes to the hungry perpetrators of evil that rule the night, riding my gold-embroidered chariot of flame across the Valhallan sky with a host of fair Valkyries and the icy northern winds at my back, CASTING THE UNHOLY RING INTO THE CHASM OF MOUNT DOOM FROM WHENCE IT WAS FORGED FOR ITS DARK PURPOSE, the usual.
Also an Eagle Scout and a member of Tau Beta Pi, Phi Kappa Phi, and other honor societies.
Since the summer I\'ve been volunteering at a Catholic pro-life pregnancy center.
I\'m also an underrepresented minority; I believe there are far too few of me in medical school.
Undergraduate Area of study: Engineering/Technology
Summary of Application Experience
Applied through TMDSAS (5/23/2011) to:
UT Houston
Texas Tech-El Paso
Applied through AMCAS (6/8/2011) to:
Mayo (no secondary required and lots of scholarship money)
Mayo Medical School
Submitted: 06/07/2011
Summary of Experience: good riddance.
Summary of Experience: Submitted 5/23; Secondary Complete 6/1. Rejected 12/20. Stupid A&M.
Secondary Completed: 06/24/2011
Interview Invite: 08/02/2011
Interview Attended: 09/01/2011
Summary of Experience: Submitted 6/8; Secondary Complete 6/25; Interview Invite 8/3; Interview Attended 9/2. The Texas Medical Center is phenomenal, but Baylor seemed underwhelming (I think such great experiences thus far at interviews really raised my expectations for this school). They do seem to have a great curriculum though, with a lot of flexibility, but nothing else really stood out. I had one great interview and one not-so-great interview. If I\'m accepted it\'ll be worth another look but I\'m not too excited about Baylor right now.
Attended Interview, Withdrew
Summary of Experience: No secondary required. Submitted 5/23; Interview Invite 7/29; Interview Attended 8/15. Withdrew 1/10 via match. The opportunity to do rounds in Harlingen is very exciting- they provide a lot of hands-on training for students. San Antonio seems like a fun place, and since the school is outside of downtown there is a lot less traffic and housing is less expensive.
Probation=won\'t touch San Antonio with a 10\' pole.
Summary of Experience: Submitted 5/23; Secondary Complete 5/29; Interview Invite 8/12; Interview Attended 9/17. Withdrew 1/10 via match. I like this school. It\'s huge, there are lots and lots of opportunities to see a variety of clinical settings, there is a lot of research going on (which I\'m interested in), and Dallas itself seems like a fun place. The students seem very nerdy. but they are subdivided in to six \"colleges\" that seem to foster a lot of social growth. One of my interviews couldn\'t have gone better and the other one was full of really tough to answer questions. I\'m really hopeful about Southwestern. Also, all of the buildings look like museums and are filled with art; that was pretty cool.
Summary of Experience: No secondary required. Submitted 5/23; Interview Invite 8/12, Interview Attended 9/22. Withdrew 1/10 via match. El Paso and Tech were both pleasant surprises. The scenery is great; mountains bisect the city, which is much larger than I had envisioned. The school is small but state-of-the-art, and they are opening a brand new children\'s hospital in February and have a lot more expansion planned. The faculty are unique too; I guess it takes a unique type of individual to leave their home institution and start a new one from scratch in a new place. They ONLY have pass/fail for the first two years, then only honors/pass/fail after that. Too bad El Paso is so far from family.
Summary of Experience: No secondary required. Submitted 5/23; Interview Invite 8/15; Interview Attended 9/9. Withdrew 1/10 via match. This school was amazing. The environment was great; everyone was friendly and funny, and they really went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We saw their helipad and helicopters, went on a bus tour, ate fajitas, and got sung to. Going here would be fun.
Summary of Experience: No secondary required. Submitted 5/23; Interview Invite 6/27; Interview Attended 8/5. Everything about this school seems low-key: the interviews were laid back, the schedule is laid back, and all the students and faculty are laid back. They have a lot of cool opportunities like an aerospace medicine track (NASA is close-by) and study abroad opportunities. This is a top choice of mine; hopefully I\'ll get some good news in November.
EDIT: Accepted at 12AM on 11/15!
Going to UTMB!
Summary of Experience: Submitted 5/23; Secondary Completed 5/29; Interview Invite 8/11; Interview Attended 8/24. Withdrew 1/10 via match. The facilities at Tech really were impressive. There is a great recreational facility and lots of intramural sports. I think my interviews went really well and I hit it off with the interviewers. If only Lubbock wasn\'t in the middle of nowhere...
Accepted 11/15 at 1:58pm
BionicMan took the old MCAT and scored a 35 which is in the 96th percentile of all old scores. We converted this to a 517 on the updated scale which is in the 95th percentile of the updated MCAT. We also converted BionicMan's section scores as follows:

Home News Twitter Lite Finally Reaches India, Now Available in 45+ Countries
Twitter Lite Finally Reaches India, Now Available in 45+ Countries
Last year in April, popular micro-blogging website Twitter released a light version called Twitter Lite, focused on providing a decent experience on slow connections and low-end Android phones. Initially, the app was launched only in Philippines and was later extended to 24 more countries late last year. Surprisingly though, India was not one of the countries to receive Twitter Lite, even when the statistics showcased a definite need.
Now, according to a recent blog post from the company, Twitter Lite has finally reached India along with 21 other countries, including Argentina, Belarus, Dominican Republic, Ghana, Guatemala, Honduras, Indonesia, Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon, Morocco, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Romania, Turkey, Uganda, Ukraine, Uruguay, Yemen, and Zimbabwe. Twitter Lite is now available on the Google Play Store in over 45 countries.
The Twitter Lite app has been designed for users with data, bandwidth and device constraints and comes with a data saver which controls the images and videos that load on your feed.
The app has an install size of just 3MB, which means that it's perfect for devices with low internal storage and it even works well with 2G or 3G connections. The Twitter Lite app also features a Bookmarks feature that will allow users to save important Tweets which they can access later when they have more data or access to a better internet connection.
The latest version of the app also brings support for push notifications, allowing users to keep up with all the latest trends around the world, and threads which will allow users to create a thread using the new plus button in the composer. Additionally, Twitter Lite also features a night mode option which gives the timeline a darker theme for late night browsing. In case you're using a low-end device or have a limited data connection, you can download Twitter Lite from the Google Play Store.

The Monster is bigger than the Machine: Curing the World, one plant at a time.
Written by Kyle Griffin
People grow all sorts of things in their homes; plants, orchids, herbs, vegetables. With the upcoming legalization of marijuana in Saskatchewan, cannabis is quickly making its way up the list. While people have been growing illegally for decades, Saskatchewan residents will soon be able to legally grow up to four plants (at a certain height) for personal consumption in the comforts of their own home. But installing, maintaining and processing hydroponic equipment and your own bud can be daunting, costly, and time-consuming without the proper know-how and experience.
Enter Darin Wheatley, local hydroponic guru and owner of the independent business, Whole Leaf Healing Tree. Resembling Jeff Bridge's iconic non-conformist character, The Dude (with a work ethic), Wheatley has been teaching/working with hydroponics for the past 16 years and has made it his goal to provide people with the means to become self-sufficient and heal themselves through cannabis.
"Across the globe, cannabis is becoming legalized and it's hitting at our front door. And it's about time. There's been too many people suffering under prohibition and a lot of harm done… It's time to bring cannabis out of the closet, bring people out of the closet, and make it legal", he said, " it's not just about getting stoned and Woodstock anymore. It's about healing yourself and becoming one."
At Whole Leaf, potential cannabis growers are encouraged to come in for a consultation prior to installation. To help in understanding how many plants they need, why they need the plant, and what strain of cannabis would be medically beneficial.
"If you have Crohn's disease, we can recommend something with a higher CBD level (a component of cannabis with significant medical benefits without giving the user the feeling of being "stoned," a sensation more commonly found in the THC component). If you're looking for pain relief, a higher THC level of something. We can come up with the proper plant and the proper area in their house where they should grow."
For a fee, Whole Leaf will install the equipment, which altogether is called a "grow tent," in your house and make sure it's done right. Teaching you about proper lighting, nutrients, soils, and hydroponic methods while ensuring safety, preventing hazards such as mold and odors.
"Most people are using it for medicinal purposes, you want to make sure that you're taking a safe product into your body. And I think cannabis is just as safe as half the shit thrown on the grocery store shelves these days."
A sentiment Wheatley shares not only about the food we eat, but with government regulated dispensaries, which can be speculated to soon become the majority. "The grow tent model is a nice environment for people who want to grow their own, and not have to depend on the government and other people where you don't know where the product is coming from, which could be dangerous. It could be sprayed with something or not flushed properly so it's full of heavy metals that were used to grow it."
Wheatley's long-time life partner and new business associate, Tanya Bundus, echoes similar concerns. "When you come in here, Darin loves helping you. When you walk into the legalized dispensaries and they ask 'Well, what do you want?', they don't even care what you want or why you want it, they just give it to you."
While marijuana legalization is beneficial to Whole Leaf Healing Tree's business, growers, and all cannabis users, Wheatley advises advocates to approach with caution.
"The government seems to be just monopolizing on it and taking it by the reins and not really conforming to the cannabis culture." Calling for a united stance against the corporate regimes and political money-machines, "We have a chance right now, in human history, to take this plant, and not make it into that big commodity money thing. We have a chance to take this wonderful plant, make it free for everyone to do whatever they want with it, if we act now. But if we don't they're going to take it, and control it, and it will be like alcohol or everything else. It'll find its way into pharmacopeia."
This leaves cannabis users (both recreational and medicinal) with two options. Either comply to the uncertain laws and regulations imposed by government officials, or fight the proverbial man and become self-sufficient. Wheatley and Bundus are hopeful, through the tight-knit cannabis community within the province, that the people of Saskatchewan can create real change while retaining the essence of cannabis-culture.
"I think 50 to 100 people would make a way bigger change in a province like Saskatchewan than 10,000 in B.C."
No matter how it becomes regulated, controlled, or liberated by its human oppressors, Wheatley knows that cannabis will endure, "The Monster, that which is cannabis, is bigger than the machine trying to control it. Even though they are really trying to control it and tax it, they're never going to get a grip on it." We must decide if we, as a society, will allow those in control to tighten their grasp, or wriggle out of reach.

    }

    public static void main (String[] args)
    {

}

A: It it because you only created some components but didn't add anything to your EventObject(which extends JFrame). Try to add:
add(panel);

before .setSize() for example, and it should work.

A: Try this code it should work.

Ripacandida
Where Ripacandida (Potenza)
Ripacandida is a town and comune in the province of Potenza, in the Southern Italian region of Basilicata. It is bounded by the comuni of Atella, Barile, Filiano, Forenza, Ginestra, Rionero in Vulture. Archaeology The study of the necropolis, seventh-fifth century BC shows that the settlement belongs to a cultural center north of Lucania. It is located near a tributary of the broad stream 'Ofanto and spread on top and on the terraces along the slopes of the hill. In the center is implanted ceramic workshops specialized in the production of decorated vases subgeometrica, or complex decorative motifs, including the human figure appears. A notable jug found in a female burial of the fifth century BC, has a sphere enclosing a lightning bolt on which there is a stylized human figure in mourning, surrounded by seven stars, now in the National Archaeological Museum of Melfi. This scene leads to the philosophical doctrines of Pythagoras, who had started a school at the same time to Metaponto and which were among his disciples some aristocratic figures of the ancient inland territories of Basilicata. The ancient village of Ripacandida is organized to scattered groups of inhabited alternating with empty spaces and burials. Of note, always in a female burial, the fermatrecce are very elaborate, consisting of a double wire wrapped in multiple turns and found only a few kits Basilicata inside. Remains of a Roman aqueduct are visible near the broad stream. Geography Ripacandida looks like a neat little town perched on the cliff which dominates the large valleys that surround it, made of whitewashed houses. It stands on one of the many hills in the Vulture, the vast region that stretches south of the river Ofanto (which forms the natural border of the northern Basilicata), region of deep-rooted origins history that is called Melfi. It extends along the slopes of volcanic of Vulture and is a large sub-area of Basilicata region, characterized by the cultivation and production of grapes "Aglianico , which gives its name to one of the most renowned regional wines and appreciated, the'Aglianico del Vulture, precisely. Ripacandida rises from the rock on which you can enjoy the scenery as far as the eye can see, huge and impressive, while walking through the narrow streets of the main street, peering in the direction of the Vulture can be seen in all her radiant beauty, especially in light of the reddish clear summer sunsets, this mountain almost "magic" that dominates the landscape to north-west. History The archaeological survey of the years 1977–80 due to the antiquity of Ripacandida the seventh century BC, but by the end of the nineteenth century historian Lucan Michele Lacava found some caves dating archeolitica and floor mosaics at the foot of Ripacandida. The Greek historians (Timaeus Aristotle-Tauromenio-Antiochus from Syracuse) cite as "Enotria" contemporary Basilicata. FromGeographyof Strabo we learn that "before the arrival of the Greeks on the Ionian coast of Basilicata, and there were Choni Enotri. The second Enotri Dionysius of Halicarnassus descended from Enotri, originating from the mythical hero 'Arcadia who arrived around 1800 BC, subjugated the indigenous plant and viticulture. His successor, Italy became farmers, pastoralists, instituting the "Syssitia". Later the region was occupied by Samnites, populations Osco-Samnite from which descend the Luciani. They descended from the mountains of Sannio and in several waves occupied the peninsula. They practiced "sacred spring": when the population grew a group of young people choose a symbol (Totem) and partly in search of new lands. It was a nation of proud warriors, powerful enough to bind the Roman army for fifty years. Rome suffered the humiliation of defeat at the Forks Caudine ", and then reorganize the army and crush the Sunnis. The Romanization of the region came with the transfer of 20 000 settlers, was born near Venus, in 291 BC Sunnis are descended from many other ethnic groups: Irpini Caudini Bruzi etc.. The Luke Society is organized into tribes, each with its own head i "Meddices" who are elected annually. All are expected to participate in community life, everything is divided equally. Federation linked by a bond, in case of war, elect a head of the basileus ". The ancient town of Ripacandida Web site was more important than Serra di Vaglio (Vaglio Basilicata) a few miles from power. The Lucan through rivers: Basento, Bradano, Agri and Sinni traded with the Greek cities (Metaponto, Siris, Heraclea). The Sele and 'Ofanto allow access to both sides: the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian. Dialect idiom (true linguistic island in the neighborhood) we find the root of many words with the Oscan of Greek origin. Oral tradition says that the city was built by the Romans under the name "Candida Latinorum" (remains of Roman aqueduct). Some scholars believe the name is given by the white color of the hill. The modern town dates from the time of invasions Gothic, when the inhabitants moved from the valley on the hill, and build their houses around the temple dedicated to Jupiter (present castle-Church mother). I Lombard the fortified walls interspersed with towers. Undergoing the various dominations arrive at the first written sources of the XI-XII sec. The papal bull Eugenius III (1152) decreed the construction of the churches of San Donato (the only one still exists), San Pietro, San Zaccaria, San Gregorio. Participates in the First Crusade. And is registered in the Catalogue of the Barons with thirteen nobles, headed by the overlord Roger Marescalco to participate in the Third Crusade to William the Good (1188–1198). A Roberto Ripacandida of Frederick II in charge of guarding prisoners of Lombardy, the region will be called after Massa Lombarda (now Ginestra). Change number of feudal lords, Caracciolo Grimaldi of Monaco, Boccapianola Tironi, the last owner is the Duke Mazzacara (1806). A first colony Albanian refugees in 1482 is housed in a suburban area called Canton and later moved to Massa Lombarda. On 5 October 1571 share in the victory Battle of Lepanto with a large number of citizens including Gianlorenzo Lioy. Between five hundred and seven hundred is home to a study of Theology. In April 1861, sided with the robbers led by Carmine Crocco, on this occasion there was the first victim: the National Guard captain Michael Anastasia. He also had fierce brigands Turtoro, Di Biase, Larotonda. At the end of '19th century begins the phenomenon of migration: it leaves the earth in search of a decent future. In the U.S., specifically in the state of 'Illinois, there is a town called Blue Island ripacandidesi are immigrants. In memory of their traditions, celebrate San Donato bishop of Arezzo. The Nobel prize for physics in 1997 was awarded to William Donald Phillips, the son of an immigrant ripacandidese in the U.S. in 1920. From the 1980s to the early 2000s, German anthropologist Thomas Hauschild (member of the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and chair in the dpt. for social anthropology at the University at Halle/Saale, Germany) used to document extensively religious and political life in Ripacandida and surroundings. In this, he was supported by many protagonists from the local population, including Michele Ciccarella, Carmela "Quartariegg'" Carlucci Perretta, Vito Gioiosa, Luigi "Ginetto" Gilio, and many others. His findings were edited in the form of numerous articles in scientific journals and in his book "Magie und Macht in Italien" (2002), translated into English by Jeremy Gaines ("Power and Magic in Italy", London and New York, Berghahn publishers, 2011). In 2009, Thomas Hauschild accompanied the famous art historian Hans Belting (Order Pour le Mérite of Arts and Sciences, Berlin and Dumbarton Oaks Institute, Harvard U.) to Ripacandida. On behalf of the local "Pro Loco" association (Gerardo Cripezzi, Luigi Gilio and others), Hans Belting evaluated the frescoes at the San Donato church at Ripacandida and attested to their extraordinary value as a monument in the history of arts. Following Belting, the frescoes reflect impressively periods of peace and unrest, of earthquake and new economic development in the small Lucanian centre. In this occasion, Hans Belting accepted the regional award "Fede e Arte" from the local UNESCO committee and from the Pro Loco. in a highly acclaimed speech, Hans Belting attested for the many "secrets" still hidden in these frescoes for future research.

The Greek words are transcribed in English letters. On the deep influence of Albanic language on the local dialect see also: http://contrasto.de/lucano.htm and http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialetti_lucani. Much vocabulary in the local dialects at Ripacandia -and in Northern Lucania in general -is also deduced from the Arabic language, for example "vadone" from "al wadi" for "river stream". See: Bigalke, Rainer: "Dizionario dialettale della basilicata|Con un breve saggio della fonetica, un'introduzione sulla storia dei dialetti lucani e note etimologiche", Muenster, 1980. German linguist Bigalke did his fieldwork in the 1980s allover the Basilicata and shortly also at Ripacandida. Monuments of interest The center of town has architecture of mainly the 18th and 19th century. The exception is the Casa Lioy, a palace built in 1089 with subsequent reconstructions. Religious architecture The church of Santa Maria del Sepulcro is church in Ripacandida. Previously, the site had housed a church dedicated to Saint Catherine of Alexandria. An new church was built to consolidate two parishes, and consecrated in 1540 by Monsignor Aquaviva, bishop of Melfi. The church was completed in 1602 by Abbot Lorenzo Leonibus. The exterior facade is accessed by a marble staircase; it has a Renaissance portal and three clocks: two mechanical and one a sundial. The typmpanum has a Madonna of the Sepulchre. The name was called Sepulcro to conmemorate thirteen barons who died in Palestine in Third Crusade in William the Good. The interior has a chapel of the sacrament by Giovanni Battista Rossi, who also completed the polychrome marble balustrade of the presbytery. In four columns of the balustrades are bas reliefs of the Passion of Christ. The sacristy houses a "Pietà" by Christian Danone and a "St. Bartholomew" by Gaetano Recco. The church of San Giuseppe was part of a cloistered nunnery founded in 1735 by Giovanni and Giovanni Battista Rossi. The church, which dates to 1173 presents a facade of terracotta bricks,with a baroque portal. The main altarpiece depicts a Madonna and Child with Saints Teresa and Joseph by a follower of Francesco Solimena. The interior has a baroque decoration. In the sacristy is the tomb of the mystic Sister Maria Araneo (died circa 1790), granddaughter of Giovanni Rossi and prioress of the monastery. Legend holds that her body was found, in a miraculous state of preservation, earthquake 1980. A year later, in 1751, this church was the site of a miracle by St. Gerard Majella (record of the event is preserved at the Sanctuary of Materdomini in Nocera Superiore. The church of San Antonio was built at the site of an ancient tower. It was severely damaged by the earthquake of 1980. The church of Santa Maria del Carmine is located near the entrance of the old cemetery (now a public garden) is presumed to have been built before the earthquake of 1694. Reconstructed with this title archpriest Baffari (uncle of the Blessed GB Rossi), however, clear from the baronial family coat of arms placed on the entrance door. It presents a unique decoration, made in the first half of the eighteenth century. Recent renovations have restored to its original splendor frescoes depicting the Holy Trinity, Our Lady of Mount Caramel and rosettes with the Saints, and Bishop Donald Donato (San Donato by Ripacandida). At the side of the seventeenth-century sculpture of the Madonna del Carmine San Donato Sanctuary At the entrance from the north-east up area there is the ancient shrine of San Donato by Ripacandida, patron of the town, with its paintings of 1500 and its millennial history. The adjacent "villa", the churchyard behind the millennial center of pilgrimage, contains meticulously cultivated trees that derive from the 16th century or earlier. The local feast of Saint Donatus (5–7 August) is one of the oldest and most beautiful festivals of saints of the Basilicata, showing still remnants of authentic old folk customs. The shrine, one of the most famous of Basilicata, is affiliated with the church of San Francesco in Assisi and received the gift of a relic of the patron saint of Italy. In December 2010, the sanctuary gets from 'UNESCO recognition of Monumento a messenger of peace culture to the profound spiritual values that for centuries forward. Naturalistic The Forest One of the natural beauty of the wood is Ripacandida, though little appreciated. Called the Great Forest, perhaps because it was originally more of a big regione.Uno of the few residues of the immense forests that covered the Lucania (for Latin lucus = wood), now much reduced as a result of uncontrolled cuts. Composed of tall trees such as oaks, cedars, etc.. For centuries it has employed, fed and warm during the cold winters of the population Ripacandida and neighboring countries. The peasants, including women fearless and courageous, they went to the woods to cut and then sell what was called a "body" of wood. Uploaded on mules, was brought to sell in neighboring countries. Refuge and breeding herds, during the so-called "transhumance", which used the forest as a resting place for their long journeys. Also has a construction called "mansions" and "pile" that is, drinking troughs for animals. During the robbery, was a refuge for the robbers, who used the many caves to avoid capture. La Pineta The pine forest was planted in the late fifties to the base and on the slopes of the hill on which stands Ripacandida. On fire repeatedly over the years, resistant in some areas, where she grew lush and precisely to the base and side Rionero. Since 2006, (i.e. since the Fonti del Vulture were bought by a famous multinational company), we see in the spot of 'Water Lily where it makes a fine show. Traditions The game of Morra One of the favorite pastimes ripacandidesi, especially by men, was the game of Morra. During the long winter evenings but also to distract them from the drudgery of the fields two or more people are delighted to "guess the sum of the fingers shown in the game for two players." The winner was a good shot of "Aglianico". The first news of the game of Morra date back to ancient Egypt, but probably were the Roman soldiers to spread in Italy, because it was very common in ancient Rome. The success of the game is because it only requires the use of hands, a game so that you can play everywhere, poor but not simple, requiring skill and intelligence. The player must think in fractions of a second in two ways: to predict the opponent's game and never play the numbers that you expect your opponent. In recent years, associations have been created at national level who seek to take up the slack. Today, the Morra has become a rarely practiced custom. Easter Bread The characteristic shape braided bread traditionally prepared for the Passover is called "rucilatieggh". Do not know the origin of the custom of the Easter bread, unique among other things, because neighboring countries does not exist. Prepared by the good housewife, was then baked in the houses, each house had its oven. "I rucilatieggh" were prepared from a dough of flour, oil, water, fennel seeds, eggs, salt and baking powder and then polished with egg yolk. The tradition continues in the bakery who prepare for Tuesday and Friday. The cupboard Traditionally every house had Ripacandida the oven for baking bread, which had a high form of bread similar to matter. The bread was baked once placed in the cupboard, which was also used for mixing, 'lu'mpasta'pan'. In every kitchen there was this piece of furniture that was in the form of a box: two doors, two drawers and upper compartment with hinged lid flare. After the fifties, retired skilled tradesmen all the antique furniture in exchange for plastic containers. To the cry of 'mobil'viecch' reaping what to ripacandidesi no longer needed, then restore them and sell them at high prices.
