Audition, the sense of hearing, involves the transduction of sound waves into electrical energy, which then can be transmitted in the nervous system. Sound is produced by waves of compression and decompression, which are transmitted in elastic media such as air or water. These waves are associated with increases (compression) and decreases (decompression) in pressure. The units for expressing sound pressure are decibels (dB), which is a relative measure on a log scale. Sound frequency is measured in cycles per second or hertz (Hz). A pure tone results from sinusoidal waves of a single frequency.
Most sounds are mixtures of pure tones. The human ear is sensitive to tones with frequencies between 20 and 20,000 Hz and is most sensitive between 2000 and 5000 Hz. A reference, 0 dB, is the average threshold for hearing at 1000 Hz. Sound pressure, in dB, is calculated as follows:
= Decibel
= Sound pressure being measured
= Reference pressure measured at the threshold frequency
Therefore, if a sound pressure is 10 times the reference pressure, it is 20 dB (20 × log 10 = 20 × 1 = 20 dB). If a sound pressure is 100 times the reference pressure, it is 40 dB (20 × log 100 = 20 × 2 = 40 dB).
The usual range of frequencies in human speech is between 300 and 3500 Hz, and the sound intensity is about 65 dB. Sound intensities greater than 100 dB can damage the auditory apparatus, and those greater than 120 dB can cause pain.
Structures of the Ear
Structures of the external, middle, and inner ear are shown in Figure 3-19 and are described as follows:
Figure 3–19 Structures of the external, middle, and inner ear. The cochlea has been turned slightly for visualization.
The external ear consists of the pinna and the external auditory meatus (auditory canal). The function of the external ear is to direct sound waves into the auditory canal. The external ear is air filled.
The middle ear consists of the tympanic membrane and a chain of auditory ossicles called the malleus, incus, and stapes. The tympanic membrane separates the external ear from the middle ear. An oval window and a round window lie between the middle ear and the inner ear. The stapes has a footplate, which inserts into the oval window and provides the interface between the middle ear and the inner ear. The middle ear is air filled.
The inner ear consists of a bony labyrinth and a membranous labyrinth. The bony labyrinth consists of three semicircular canals (lateral, posterior, and superior). The membranous labyrinth consists of a series of ducts called the scala vestibuli, scala tympani, and scala media.
The cochlea and the vestibule are formed from the bony and membranous labyrinths. The cochlea, which is a spiral-shaped structure composed of three tubular canals or ducts, contains the organ of Corti. The organ of Corticontains the receptor cells and is the site of auditory transduction. The inner ear is fluid filled, and the fluid in each duct has a different composition. The fluid in the scala vestibuli and scala tympani is called perilymph, which is similar to extracellular fluid. The fluid in the scala media is called endolymph, which has a high-potassium (K+) concentration and a low-sodium (Na+) concentration. Thus, endolymph is unusual in that its composition is similar to that of intracellular fluid, even though, technically, it is extracellular fluid.
Auditory Transduction
Auditory transduction is the transformation of sound pressure into electrical energy. Many of the structures of the ear participate, directly or indirectly, in this transduction process. Recall that the external and middle ears are air filled, and the inner ear, which contains the organ of Corti, is fluid filled. Thus, before transduction can occur, sound waves traveling through air must be converted into pressure waves in fluid. The acoustic impedance of fluid is much greater than that of air. The combination of the tympanic membrane and the ossicles serves as an impedance-matching device that makes this conversion. Impedance matching is accomplished by the ratio of the large surface area of the tympanic membrane to the small surface area of the oval window and the mechanical advantage offered by the lever system of the ossicles.
The external ear directs sound waves into the auditory canal, which transmits the sound waves onto the tympanic membrane. When sound waves move the tympanic membrane, the chain of ossicles also moves, pushing the footplate of the stapes into the oval window and displacing the fluid in the inner ear.
Cochlea and Organ of Corti
The cochlea contains the sensory transduction apparatus, the organ of Corti. The structures of the cochlea and the organ of Corti are shown in Figure 3-20.
Figure 3–20 Structure of the cochlea and the organ of Corti.
The cross-section of the cochlea shows its three chambers: scala vestibuli, scala media, and scala tympani. Each chamber is fluid filled, the scala vestibuli and scala tympani with perilymph and the scala media with endolymph. The scala vestibuli is separated from the scala media by Reissner's membrane. The basilar membrane separates the scala media from the scala tympani.
The organ of Corti lies on the basilar membrane of the cochlea and is bathed in the endolymph contained in the scala media. Auditory hair cells in the organ of Corti are the sites of auditory transduction. The organ of Corti contains two types of receptor cells: inner hair cells and outer hair cells. There are fewer inner hair cells, which are arranged in single rows. Outer hair cells are arranged in parallel rows and are more numerous than inner hair cells. Cilia, protruding from the hair cells, are embedded in the tectorial membrane. Thus, the bodies of the hair cells are in contact with the basilar membrane, and the cilia of the hair cells are in contact with the tectorial membrane.
The nerves that serve the organ of Corti are contained in the vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII). The cell bodies of these nerves are located in spiral ganglia, and their axons synapse at the base of the hair cells. These nerves will transmit information from the auditory hair cells to the CNS.
Steps in Auditory Transduction
Several important steps precede transduction of sound waves by the auditory hair cells on the organ of Corti. Sound waves are directed toward the tympanic membrane, and, as the tympanic membrane vibrates, it causes the ossicles to vibrate and the stapes to be pushed into the oval window. This movement displaces fluid in the cochlea. The sound energy is amplified by two effects: the lever action of the ossicles and the concentration of sound waves from the large tympanic membrane onto the small oval window. Thus, sound waves are transmitted and amplified from the air-filled external and middle ears to the fluid-filled inner ear, which contains the receptors.
Auditory transduction by hair cells on the organ of Corti then occurs in the following steps (Fig. 3-21):
Figure 3–21 Steps in auditory transduction in hair cells. Circled numbers correspond to steps described in the text.
1. Sound waves are transmitted to the inner ear and cause vibration of the organ of Corti.
2. The auditory hair cells are mechanoreceptors, which are located on the organ of Corti (see Fig. 3-20). The base of the hair cells sits on the basilar membrane, and the cilia of the hair cells are embedded in the tectorial membrane. The basilar membrane is more elastic than the tectorial membrane. Thus, vibration of the organ of Corti causes bending of cilia on the hair cells by a shearing force as the cilia push against the tectorial membrane.
3. Bending of the cilia produces a change in K+ conductance of the hair cell membrane. Bending in one direction produces an increase in K+ conductance and hyperpolarization; bending in the other direction produces a decrease in K+ conductance and depolarization.
4. These changes in membrane potential are the receptor potentials of the auditory hair cells. The oscillating receptor potential is called the cochlear microphonic potential.
5. When hair cells are depolarized, the depolarization opens voltage-gated Ca2+ channels in the presynaptic terminals of the hair cells. As a result, Ca2+ enters the presynaptic terminals and causes release of glutamate, which functions here as an excitatory neurotransmitter, causing action potentials in the afferent cochlear nerves that will transmit this information to the CNS. When the hair cells are hyperpolarized, the opposite events occur, and there is decreased release of glutamate.
6. Thus, oscillating depolarizing and hyperpolarizing receptor potentials in the hair cells cause intermittent release of glutamate, which produces intermittent firing of afferent cochlear nerves.
Encoding of Sound
Encoding of sound frequencies occurs because different auditory hair cells are activated by different frequencies. The frequency that activates a particular hair cell depends on the position of that hair cell along the basilar membrane, as illustrated in Figure 3-22. The base of the basilar membrane is nearest the stapes and is narrow and stiff. Hair cells located at the base respond best to high frequencies. The apex of the basilar membrane is wide and compliant. Hair cells located at the apex respond best to low frequencies. Thus, the basilar membrane acts as a sound frequency analyzer, with hair cells positioned along the basilar membrane responding to different frequencies. This spatial mapping of frequencies generates a tonotopic map, which then is transmitted to higher levels of the auditory system.
Figure 3–22 Frequency responses of the basilar membrane.
Auditory Pathways
Information is transmitted from the hair cells of the organ of Corti to the afferent cochlear nerves. The cochlear nerves synapse on neurons of the dorsal and ventral cochlear nuclei of the medulla, which send out axons that ascend in the CNS. Some of these axons cross to the contralateral side and ascend in the lateral lemniscus (the primary auditory tract) to the inferior colliculus. Other axons remain ipsilateral. The two inferior colliculi are connected via the commissure of the inferior colliculus. Fibers from nuclei of the inferior colliculus ascend to the medial geniculate nucleus of the thalamus. Fibers from the thalamus ascend to the auditory cortex. The tonotopic map, generated at the level of the organ of Corti, is preserved at all levels of the CNS. Complex feature discrimination (e.g., the ability to recognize a patterned sequence) is the property of the auditory cortex.
Because some auditory fibers are crossed and some are uncrossed, a mixture of ascending nerve fibers represents both ears at all levels of the CNS. Thus, lesions of the cochlea of one ear will cause ipsilateral deafness. However, more central unilateral lesions do not cause deafness because some of the fibers transmitting information from that ear have already crossed to the undamaged side.

BellSoft Liberica JRE 11.0.13: Contributing to layer
Downloading from https://github.com/bell-sw/Liberica/releases/download/11.0.13+8/bellsoft-jre11.0.13+8-linux-amd64.tar.gz
Check previous releases in https://github.com/bell-sw/Liberica/releases/ to see if they are available, I didn't see the one you are using.
For the Cert check this:
https://forums.docker.com/t/docker-private-registry-x509-certificate-signed-by-unknown-authority/21262/7

A: As mentioned in official documentation here https://docs.spring.io/spring-native/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/ :

This is a generic error triggered by Docker and forwarded by Spring Boot Buildpacks support. native-image command has likely failed, so check the error messages in the output. If you can't find anything, check if that's not an out of memory error as described above.

Also make sure your java compiler version and the java version mentioned in pom.xml file are same.

Review: X-Force #1
Cable is dead…and now, the original X-Force team of Domino, Cannonball, Shatterstar, Boom Boom and Warpath. must hunt down the murderer of their former leader! The mutant militia are hot for blood…but when their target is the time-traveling younger version of their fallen mentor, is there a line they absolutely cannot cross? And what does Deathlok have to do with all of it?
Extermination is over and done and spinning out of it, as shouldn't be a surprise, is a new X-Force. Except, the new X-Force is a lot like the old X-Force. Yes, this is mostly the OG team that spun out of New Mutants, so rather appropriate this spins out of something as well.
Writer Ed Brisson delivers a first issue that nails the characters with a solid mix of smart-ass humor and intimidation. They're on a mission and they need to talk to Kid Cable. That means they'll do whatever it takes to find him, including hurting whomever they need to. And with that there's some tropes but it's really entertaining and great to see.
Then, we have Kid Cable's aspect to all of this and of course there's more than we're initially lead to believe. It's not unexpected and we also know that X-Force and Kid Cable will team up and Kid Cable will clash with Domino (and pretty much everyone). That aspect though is interesting and something that I hope is explored more in this series and elsewhere. It's kid some nice echoes of past X stories but in today's world also feels fresh.
All of this is helped by Dylan Burnett's art and Jesus Aburtov's coloring as the combo delivers a style that reminds me a bit of Umbrella Academy. It also adds to the humor and action with a style that takes it from a rather serious tone to something else. It has a flair about it that gets you to laugh, and Brisson's writing helps in that department.
But, there's a second story!
Boom Boom missed out on the main story, so where is she? Brisson gives us a back-up story with art by Juanan Ramírez and color by Brian Reber. It feels a bit like films where two storylines eventually converge and it completely works. It too delivers a solid mix of action and humor though the art style is a bit more traditional and what's expected. Nothing wrong with that and it fits Boom Boom in a way.
The artwork is a bit unexpected in the main story but this debut issue is solid in every aspect. It has the action, the violence, the humor, and the right attitude. It all comes together in a way that is a welcome return to the classic misfit team from the 90s and me excited to read more of their adventures.

The Scottish Law Commission has recently concluded a Memorandum of Understanding with the Heads of the Scottish Law Schools regarding co-operation between the Commission and academics in Scotland. This aims to encourage greater support for the Commission from academia and to provide a pathway to impact for Scottish academics and allow them to develop a deeper understanding of the work of the Commission and of the process of law reform in general. It is particularly apposite in light of the current consultation on its Tenth Programme of Law Reform which closes on 31 July. One of the first outcomes of this Memorandum was John MacLeod's placement from July to December in the past year. John was placed within the property law team, who are currently working towards a Commission Report on assignation and security over moveable property. In the near future, the team will move on to work on heritable security (i.e. security over land).
Redesigning the rules on enforcement will be a central part of this project and John's primary brief was to write an options paper, outlining potential approaches in light of experience with the current system and the approach of comparator systems.
In pursuance of this, he met with solicitors working under the current regime, gaining a sense of the live issues which they face. He also travelled to the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law and the Association of German Pfandbrief Banks' Expert Round Table on Security over Immoveable Property. As well as giving access to materials which are not available in Scotland, John was thus able to present the project to lawyers from a wide range of jurisdictions, raising the project's profile and gaining insight into certain practical subtleties which are not necessarily evident from consultation of written sources alone.
Alongside his work on heritable securities, John was able to participate in the team's work refining the draft legislation on assignation and security over moveable property. John said, "I found consideration of drafts in embryo invaluable in developing my understanding of the challenges faced by drafters. In particular, it showed how important clarity about the policy being pursued and the conceptual framework being used to deliver that policy are to preparation of legislation which is clear, accessible and workable. I spend a good deal of my time criticising legislation so it was perhaps a useful corrective to suffer in its production.
"I believe that this has improved my general understanding but I also hope that it means that my presentation of options to the Commission are framed in a way which coheres with the approach taken to moveable property and to land registration. Clear conceptual links between these areas of Scots property law make a big difference in how easy it is to get your head round each element which will be important not only for practitioners but for future generations of students. I hope I was able to make a positive contribution to the project on moveable property too.
"The welcome and support I received at the Commission was warm and very encouraging. It is a great opportunity to interact directly with policy makers and to discuss legal questions with people with a wide range of experience and interests in the issues. The Commission clearly values the perspective which I have been able to bring and I would very much encourage others to seek out opportunities to work closely with the Commission on future projects.
John MacLeod is a Lecturer in Commercial Law at the University of Glasgow's School of Law.


Events honoring jazz are planned throughout the U.S. in April, designated Jazz Appreciation Month by the National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian. This is the 11th year since JAM began, and the first time we have a designated International Jazz Day (April 30), declared by UNESCO and featuring a series of concerts headed by Herbie Hancock, in Paris, New Orleans and New York. But you don't have to attend a specific tribute concert or fly to the U.N. to show your appreciation for jazz. And you don't really need a designated day or month to consider the importance of jazz to your own life and the larger community. But April is as good a time as any to consider what you can do to support one of our nation's cultural treasures—and one that needs more support.
Listen to jazz! As easy as it gets, simply tune in to your favorite jazz radio station or online broadcast source. In the Twin Cities area, that means KBEM 88.5 fm or KFAI 90.3 fm. Tuning in to divergent programming throughout the day and night, you can hear new and classic recordings, interviews with musicians, live jazz calendars, and, on KBEM, some of the NPR jazz programs (like Piano Jazz) that are no longer part of our state's MPR programs. And be sure to remember your favorite stations during their pledge drives!
Buy jazz! Choose your music, via CD, DVD, vinyl, iTunes, whatever media you prefer. Buying music supports the musicians, the producers, the labels, etc. that keep the music going.
Listen to live jazz! On any night of the week, sometimes even earlier in the day, you can find live jazz of all styles within a short drive. Where can you find out what's going on? Check the Twin Cities online live jazz calendar (http://jazzcalendarmsp@blogspot.com); look at the Jazz Police website; listen to KBEM; check listings in the Friday Star Tribune; google your favorite clubs and concert venues. Listening to live music, and watching the musicians communicate, provides a much deeper experience than merely listening to recordings on radio or stereo. And attending live performances supports the venues that present music and the artists who perform.
Introduce a youngster to jazz. Music seems to have natural appeal to children, and there are many opportunities here to find an event that is aimed at youth and families. Check out the weekend offerings at MacPhail Center for Music and programs at area libraries, museums, schools, etc. Look for jazz events that involve demonstration, hands-on activities, etc. A lot of high schools have spring jazz band concerts – seeing older kids perform can be very inspiring to future musicians and future listeners.
Volunteer to help an organization devoted to jazz. Locally there is the Twin Cities Jazz Society, Dakota Foundation for Jazz Education, Walker West Music Academy, Twin Cities Jazz Festival, KBEM, KFAI, your local school music program, and more. These groups often need volunteers to help with special events, fund raisers, etc. Donations are always welcome but so is your help!
Spread the word about a jazz event. Post a message on Face Book, Twitter, your blog, whatever your social media outlet. Let your friends know where you plan to go, what band you plan to hear, and invite them to join you. After the event, post a comment about it, especially if you would do it again!
Suggest jazz artists and events to venues. Tell club owners what you want to see and hear. Contact curators of events at area concert halls to suggest jazz artists for their performance series. Let them know there is an audience for jazz!
Support jazz musicians at all levels. Put something in that tip jar! Get out as often as you can to hear new talents as well as the veterans, at new venues as well as the established ones. Add your name or email address to musicians' mailing lists. Visit musicians' websites. "Like" jazz artists on Face Book! Support projects on sites like KickStarter, ArtistShare, etc.

Scientific project proposal forward this error screen to www91.
4 5 1 4 1 2 1 . The project, which the administration has been looking to unveil as early as March, will include federal agencies, private foundations and teams of neuroscientists and nanoscientists in a concerted effort to advance the knowledge of the brain's billions of neurons and gain greater insights into perception, actions and, ultimately, consciousness. Scientists with the highest hopes for the project also see it as a way to develop the technology essential to understanding diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson'scientific project proposal, as well as to find new therapies for a variety of mental illnesses.
Moreover, the project holds the potential of paving the way for advances in artificial intelligence. The project, which could ultimately cost billions of dollars, is expected to be part of the president's budget proposal next month. And, four scientists and representatives of research institutions said they had participated in planning for what is being called the Brain Activity Map project. The details are not final, and it is not clear how much federal money would be proposed or approved for the project in a time of fiscal constraint or how far the research would be able to get without significant federal financing. Today our scientists are mapping the human brain to unlock the answers to Alzheimer's. They're developing drugs to regenerate damaged organs, devising new materials to make batteries 10 times more powerful.
Now is not the time to gut these job-creating investments in science and innovation. Landis, the director of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, said that when she heard Mr. Obama's speech, she thought he was referring to an existing National Institutes of Health project to map the static human brain. He was referring to a new project to map the active human brain that the N. Collins, the director of the National Institutes of Health, one of the federal agencies involved in the project. Indeed, after the speech, Francis S.
A spokesman for the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy declined to comment about the project. The initiative, if successful, could provide a lift for the economy. Church, a Harvard University molecular biologist who helped create that project and said he was helping to plan the Brain Activity Map project. 3 billion over the 10 years. It was begun in 1990 and its goal, the mapping of the complete human genome, or all the genes in human DNA, was achieved ahead of schedule, in April 2003.
The advent of new technology that allows scientists to identify firing neurons in the brain has led to numerous brain research projects around the world. Yet the brain remains one of the greatest scientific mysteries. But a group of nanotechnologists and neuroscientists say they believe that technologies are at hand to make it possible to observe and gain a more complete understanding of the brain, and to do it less intrusively. In June in the journal Neuron, six leading scientists proposed pursuing a number of new approaches for mapping the brain.

Rio Ferdinand has launched a furious attack on Dimtri Payet over his strike antics at West Ham, telling the playmaker that he 'owes' his career to the club and advising Slaven Bilic to let him 'rot' until the issue is resolved.
Ferdinand's blast came as Marseille informed West Ham on Wednesday that they will not go above £25million in their pursuit of a player who has agitated to return to the French club.
That was the latest twist in a scenario that threatens to leave West Ham with a deeply unsettled player, unless Marseille relent and offer around £30m by the end of the month.
West Ham have been left furious by the episode and Ferdinand, who launched his career at the Hammers, has torn into the playmaker at the centre of the row.
He said: 'I look at it from when I played football. I would never have said, "I am not playing".
'I had problems at football clubs at various different times. At Manchester United I had problems with the club at various times with certain people but it never entered my mind not to play. You owe it to the club and the fans. Especially where Payet came from before he got to this club.
Payet is currently exiled to the reserves and will not be part of a warm weather training camp in Dubai next month, regardless of whether he stays beyond the transfer window. Ferdinand believes Payet has been poorly advised in the row.
'I understand the fans' frustrations - a lot of them would give their right arm to play for West Ham and would not understand how a player could say he would not play,' said Ferdinand, who was speaking at the launch of Star Sixes, a new world football tournament for former international players to be held at The O2 from July 13-16.


2018 Kia Sorento Trim Levels with Comparisons & Configurations.
What 2018 Kia Sorento Trim Level Should you Buy? What is the Difference Between the Trims?
The last several years have presented consumers with an impressive variety of mid-size crossovers to choose from, including everything from sporty performance vehicles, rugged off-roaders, and versatile comfortable family cars.
In the latter category, the Kia Sorento is among the outstanding models. It offers a generally nice performance and a fair bit of technology, but it is its spacious cabin, upscale trimming, and an overall focus on passenger comfort that places it near the top of critics' best-of lists for the mid-size SUV segment. The Kia Sorento has remained mostly unchanged since its full redesign two years ago, and the 2018 Kia Sorento is pretty much the same as the 2017 one.
The Sorento comes in five major trim levels, but there are plenty of choices for buyers to make beyond that. Several of the trim levels come with a number of options, and there are also three different engines, with several models offering a choice between two. Most models also come with a number of factory-installed packages that can significantly change the features they offer.
In order to help potential buyers, we have analyzed each trim level, listing the features that it adds and the options it has available.
Compare the 2018 Sorento L vs LX Trims. What is the difference?
Decently equipped and frugally priced, the base L model of the Sorento offers a fair bit of equipment for the money. Cloth seats, two rows of seating, a rearview camera, Bluetooth, heated outside mirrors, and power locks and windows are all standard on this model. There are also 17-inch wheels, a 4.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, and steering wheel audio controls.
The L comes with the sole option of the base 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, which is the weakest in the Sorento lineup at 181 horsepower. It comes matched with a six-speed automatic transmission, but is not available with all-wheel drive and there are no other engine or transmission options.
The LX builds on the base L equipment by offering considerably more options. The engine can be upgraded to a more powerful V-6 option generating 290 horsepower, and both models offer all-wheel drive as an option. Besides those options, the LX also adds two more USB ports and a windshield made of acoustic glass. It also includes the standard Cool and Connected Package that upgrades the infotainment to a 7-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, as well as an automatic dual zone climate control.
Beyond that, a number of optional packages are available for the LX. The LX Convenience Package replaces the Cool and Connected Package, and adds rear parking assist, a power driver's seat, heated front seats, and leather trim for the shifter and steering wheel in addition to the Cool and Connected features.
Models with the Convenience Package can be equipped with an optional third row, and those with both can also add an Advanced Technology package. Containing smart cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, a lane departure warning, and an electronic parking brake, the package adds considerably to the safety options of the Sorento.
The options packages are the same between the four-cylinder model and the V-6, except that the V-6 does not come with the Cool and Connected Package standard, but automatically includes the third-row seating instead.
Moving up to the Sorento LX from the L does not offer much features for the money, but it does add a lot of different options. For many buyers, the Cool and Connected Package alone is easily worth the $1,300 increase in list price, due to how useful the smartphone integration features are. Similarly, this will likely be the entry level model for most people in the Snow Belt or the more rural areas, where all-wheel drive is a strong convenience if not a downright necessity.
The lack of a third row also hampers the efficiency of choosing the Sorento L as a no-frills people transporter. For most buyers in the segment, the LX will be the choice that offers the better value.
Compare the 2018 Kia Sorento LX vs EX Trim Levels. What is the difference?
While the EX sits right in the middle of the Sorento trim lineup, it certainly feels more upscale. Equipped with leather seat trim, heated front seats, and most of the optional amenities from the LX model, it also includes a fairly nice upgrade to the interior trim pieces and accents over the LX. Dual zone climate control, power driver's seat, upgraded 7-inch infotainment system, a blind spot monitoring system with rear cross traffic alert, a hands-free liftgate, and fog lights are also all included on the EX trim. Push button start with smart keyless entry is also standard on the model.
It also comes with a choice of two engines. Like on the LX, the V-6 is the more expensive option and includes third-row seating. The smaller of the two engines is a turbocharged one on the EX, displacing two liters and producing 240 horsepower.
For many, this is actually the best of the Sorento engines, as it offers nearly the same power as the V-6, while only making one less mile per gallon than the base engine. Because it is turbocharged, it also feels more responsive than the V-6, though the latter is slightly faster. Unfortunately, the turbocharged EX is limited to two rows of seats, though it does offer all-wheel drive just like the V-6.
Both models offer the same optional package to build on their standard equipment. The Advanced Touring package adds the safety features from the LX Advanced Technology Package, as well as a panoramic sunroof, LED interior lights, a 110-volt outlet, and chrome low-profile roof rails. It is the only available optional package for the model.
As the first of the upmarket Sorento models, there is much to recommend it as an upgrade over the LX. Besides the leather seating and the additional standard features, it is also the only model to offer the fun turbocharged four-cylinder engine. It is also the lowest trim level that is equipped with the hands-free liftgate, which is a very convenient option that is increasingly becoming sought after by crossover buyers.
These options come at a hefty price however, with an LX bundled with similar features costing thousands of dollars less. But the EX does a very good job of justifying its increased cost, making it an attractive value.
Compare the Sorento EX vs SX Trims. What is the difference?
Available solely with the V-6 engine, the Sorento EX makes slight improvements to the feature and option set of the EX all around. The infotainment system is upgraded to an 8-inch touchscreen with built-in navigation, and it is linked to a 10-speaker Infinity sound system.
The power driver's seat gets an extra adjustment, and a panoramic sunroof and the hands-free liftgate are both standard. Rain-sensing windshield wipers complete the standard feature set, and like all V-6 Sorentos the SX comes with three rows of seats.
The only optional package is the SX Touring Package, which includes the active safety features and high intensity discharge headlights that automatically level themselves and turn side to side with the movement of the steering wheel. The package also adds heating to the steering wheel and ventilation to the front seats.
The upgraded infotainment and the sound system make up the bulk of the features that are added to the SX over the EX, aside from the visual upgrades and the optional features included from the EX. At the same time, the SX costs $5,000 more than the V-6 EX, which is a significant increase in cost considering the features added.
Unless the premium speakers or the extra seat adjustments are particularly important, most buyers are likely to be better off adding packages to the EX than moving up to the SX. The SX also does not offer any alternatives to the V-6 engine, which raises its cost of ownership a fair bit on top of its high price point.
Compare the Sorento SX vs SX Limited Trim Levels. What is the difference?
Serving as the peak of the Sorento lineup, the SX Limited has all of the standard features of the SX, as well as including all of the components of the SX Touring package as standard. Like the SX, it is available exclusively in a three-row, V-6 configuration, with the choice of either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. On top of the features from the regular SX, it also includes a surround view camera and 19-inch chrome wheels. It also has wood grain accents throughout the interior, and uses the more premium Nappa leather trim. As the pinnacle of the Sorento models, it offers no optional packages.
For drivers choosing between the SX with the Touring Package and the SX Limited, the choice clearly leans towards the SX Limited. For a relatively small premium, it includes a much nicer interior and a few more technical features, not to mention some nice wheels. However, for buyers that are not necessarily sold on the value of the SX itself, the SX Limited offers only a little more for the added price. Those who are aiming to maximize their value are likely to stick with the EX model, though those looking to maximize comfort will find the SX Limited a worthy investment.
The large range of options that the 2018 Kia Sorento presents to potential buyers makes narrowing down a single trim or two as the best difficult. Compared to its neighbor trims, both the EX and the SX Limited stand out for their added comfort, luxury and technology options in relation to the price differences compared to the trims above and below them.
The LX is also a strong choice for drivers looking to maximize their value and their available choices. The two trims that are not likely to offer a good return on investment for most are the L and the SX. With its limited options and only marginal savings over the LX, the L is eclipsed by the better value that the LX offers.
Similarly, the SX offers only a few options that the EX does not, while being much more expensive. We recommend that drivers begin their Sorento search by looking at the LX model, and upgrading to either the EX or the SX Limited depending on their particular equipment needs.

Aiden English Confirms He Is Not Retired
by Harry Kettleon May 16, 2019 May 16, 2019 at 9:44 am
WWE superstar Aiden English hasn't been seen all too much on WWE television when it comes to an in-ring capacity, leading many to believe that his days as an active performer have come to an end.
English has been involved in quite a few fun storylines in WWE over the years, and he's certainly been able to adapt to his surroundings. Even when his former Vaudevillains teammate Simon Gotch left the company, he was still able to provide WWE with a helping hand.
Arguably his most notable run came alongside Rusev, in which he was one of the primary reasons why 'Rusev Day' got over as strongly as it did.
Nope. https://t.co/1l2uLB8ndz
— Aiden Spanglish #DramaClub (@DramaKingMatt) May 16, 2019
When responding to a fan on Twitter late last night, English made sure to make one thing perfectly clear: he has not retired from professional wrestling.
He's tried his hand at commentary as of late and certainly seems to have a real passion for it, but we happen to think he was quite underrated in the ring too. For now, though, it remains a mystery as to what he's going to do next.
It doesn't seem like WWE is interested in officially getting rid of him anytime soon, and that wouldn't really be the smartest thing for them to do either. He's a great performer to have around because he's so diverse in what he can do, and while it may sound like we're members of the Aiden English Fan Club (which would be remarkable), we're just speaking the truth here.

Paramedic strong-arms her way to power-lifting success
Park Street grad says it's not easy balancing busy work schedule with training, but is passionate and has sights set on personal best at upcoming Nationals
Tyler Evans
Kayla Casey will be representing Oro-Medonte at the Canadian Powerlifting National Championships in March. Contributed photo
Oro-Medonte's Kayla Casey earned a silver medal at the recent 2021 Canadian Powerlifting Union (CPU) Central Championship.
By accumulating the most points in her lifts, she was also named the "best female open lifter" at the competition, which she admits is a "pretty big deal" to be recognized among all the female lifters aged 24-39.
With the impressive performance, she has now qualified to compete at the CPU national championships in Newfoundland this March.
The 33-year-old Park Street Collegiate Institute graduate says winning silver proves that her hard work and dedication has paid off.
"Some days, I was lifting at four in the morning before heading off to work," she said.
"I actually just started powerlifting in late 2019 and since then I've put in five days a week for anywhere from an hour to two hours at a time."
Casey comes from a CrossFit background, which she says helped prepare her for powerlifting.
"CrossFit was a lot of fun and I enjoyed competing in local completions and coaching here in Orillia. However, I found that my strength is more strength. I enjoy lifting, it's something I realized I'm pretty good at and it's worth a shot to see if I can go somewhere with it," she said.
Casey said her commitment to her training can be a challenge alongside her job as a paramedic in Rama and Muskoka.
"It can be a little tricky balancing work with powerlifting sometimes. After work sometimes I'm exhausted, but toward the end of my training for competition I just remember that I have a goal in mind and I have to put in the work," she said.
Some days, Casey has to rearrange her training schedule because of work, but she usually finds a way to reach her daily training goals. However, Casey admits that some days the drive isn't there.
"If I finish a shift on a regular training day and I don't really feel like working out, I don't, and I don't beat myself up for it either," Casey said.
"Some days it's OK to just go through the motions, but other days it's beneficial to just take that rest so I can hit it hard the next day."
Casey trains out of her garage-turned gym, which is a dream come true for her.
"I always had the goal of having a sick home gym and over the years I collected all the equipment I needed," she explained.
"When I started powerlifting, I decided to just do it at home," she said. 'That way I can just do it on my own time, listen to my own music at whatever volume I want. I can take my dogs outside with me, in the summertime, I can open the garage doors ... I just really enjoy working out at home."
Casey is now turning her focus to preparing for the nationals.
"I know there is going to be a lot of strong girls in my weight category - a lot of them are inspirations to me. To be able to lift on the same platform as them is an honour in itself," she said.
"I'd like to hit a personal best on my deadlift at that time, and I'd like to finish middle of the pack."
Casey competes in the 63kg weight class. To date, her best deadlift is 368.5 pounds and has a goal of hitting the 400-pound mark. Powerlifting includes three lifts: a squat, a bench press and a deadlift.
After nationals, Casey would like to keep up with powerlifting as long as her body keeps up with her.
"When I turn 40, I would become a 'master' in the sport. I'd like to maintain what I'm doing now and compete" in the masters division, she said.
"I just really enjoy the training. I see myself in it for the long haul."

How long have you been using Dreamweaver, and what were your first impressions?
I have used Macromedia Dreamweaver since its first version was released around the beginning of 1998. At the time, other software packages like HoTMetaL Pro, Microsoft Frontpage and other packages were extremely popular but poorly organized and did not openly support new techniques like DHTML (at the time). I remember seeing Dreamweaver demonstrations at Internet World where all sorts of fun DHTML animations were being created and shown. Those features immediately caught my attention and I ran home with my demo CD to install it and try it out. Once I started using it I realized that some of the other features like the find and replace tool were something that other packages surprisingly did not have at the time. I also really liked how easy the creation and modification of tables were compared to other products. It immediately became the only tool I used when handling the HTML and construction of a site.
What is your favourite feature of Dreamweaver?
I would have to say that my favourite feature is templates. Dreamweaver's template features are appealing because it is very simple to integrate and no specific programming language or specific server type is needed to have all pages or groups of pages in a site follow the exact same layout and structure. The process is simple enough that designers, developers and even people with very little web experience can easily change the entire look of a site at the click of a button. I recently updated a personal site containing 1,500 unique pages that had been built in Dreamweaver using templates. Maintaining the same content structure but a completely different layout I had the entire site designed, graphics cut up, HTML changed, a new look and feel in place, and live on the site in under 8 hours. The other appealing aspect of templates is the locking of non-editable areas of a site making it ideal for situations where clients of varied experience might be working on pages of a site. Knowing that the structure is in tact and only the content is editable, lets me sleep a little easier when handing off a complete project to a client.
What is your least favourite feature of Dreamweaver?
Currently Dreamweaver CSS rendering does not reflect some of the cutting-edge techniques people in the industry are using. When developing CSS and XHTML structured sites, pages viewed inside of Dreamweaver often look nothing close to what the code specifies and what is represented in the actual browsers. It is unlikely to ever completely mimic every browser's CSS and XHTML interpretation of a website (in one preview pane) but a closer representation would reduce the amount of back and forth which is currently, a painstaking slow part of the development process.
What feature above all others would you like to see in the next version?
The biggest feature I would like to see is the inclusion of a multi-threaded background FTP processing option which would allow me to work, FTP and also view the status of all of the files being uploaded at the same time. There is a lot of valuable time lost with the inability to work on any files within a site while Uploading/Downloading files that could be completely unrelated to what I am working on. I also think that the "Auto-Complete" Code should be made optional to the developer while typing (not just through a universally controlled preference). It would be useful (possibly with the use of a quick key) to either auto insert a closing tag or not insert the closing tag while typing depending upon the situation.
How do you incorporate Dreamweaver into your approach to website design?
Dreamweaver is rarely involved in my approach to site "design" (from an artistic standpoint in Adobe Photoshop) simply because I know that I can build out any design using it. From an architectural/development/buildout standpoint, Dreamweaver is heart and soul of my process of bringing together all of the data, Flash, graphics, programming languages, ideas, resources and emotion that go into any site visually and functionally. I consider Dreamweaver to be the Project Manager or the architect of any site I am a part of. The design phase is a small part of building a website and the majority of my time and resources are often spent in Dreamweaver rather than Photoshop or Flash.

Twine has developed a platform that lets users build customized disease-management and care plans on an app, which then sends alerts about when to take medications, tracks the patient's various health goals, and offers key analytics, among other features.

Lack of patient adherence to treatment plans is a lingering, costly problem in the United States. But MIT Media Lab spinout Twine Health is proving that regular interventions from a patient's community of supporters can greatly improve adherence, leading to improved health outcomes and savings.
Twine has developed a platform that lets users build customized health action plans on an app, which then sends reminders to take medications and make lifestyle changes. The platform also tracks trends in adherence and progress toward goals, and offers key analytics, among other features. Moreover, patients can work independently or with health coaches, providers, family, and friends to co-create the plan, monitor its progress, and receive timely support and encouragement.
So far, the platform has shown promising results.
In a case study at the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston, patients using Twine combined with standard care saw a 3.2 percent absolute drop in hemoglobin A1c (a key measure of blood sugar control) over three months. Patients receiving standard care typically only see a 1 percent drop in a year. Case studies for diabetes and hypertension management at Massachusetts General Hospital, the Boston Medical Center, the Carolinas HealthCare System, and Penn Medicine showed similarly positive results.
Now the startup is bringing the platform to the burgeoning workplace-health space, where employers hire health coaches and offer on-site clinics with aims of cutting costs associated with their medical plans by improving access to high-quality care.
"Employer premiums and deductibles for employees go up every year, because no one is containing the cost," says CEO John Moore PhD '13, a former physician who co-founded Twine with former Media Lab Director Frank Moss. "Decreased costs stem from improving people's health outcomes by empowering them to participate more in their health management. If you empower the people — the employee or the patient — you get exponential gain."
Twine has 65 workplace clients across the nation and is closing in on 100,000 employee users. In May, the startup partnered with St. Luke's Medical Center in Idaho and Activate Healthcare. In June, Twine partnered with Wellness Coaches, which operates on-site health coaching for more than 500 employer worksites in 35 states. Some employers provide the service to employees with chronic diseases, while others enroll all employees to maintain general wellness. Twine sees about 85 percent of its enrolled employees active in the platform monthly, with about 90 percent reaching their targets in 90 days.
A 2016 study in the American Journal of Managed Care shows that patients with diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol who began adhering to their treatment plans improved health outcomes and saved roughly $5,300, $4,400, and $2,000 per year, respectively, in medical costs.
Twine currently helps health coaches increase their numbers of participants by two to three times and is now shooting for a tenfold increase, which could be "transformative" for health care, Moore says. Traditional health care systems, for instance, get about 30 percent of hypertensive patients to achieve their blood pressure targets in a year, Moore says, but Twine has up to 90 percent of employees reaching their target in a few months. "If we can help 10 times the number of people meet their goals in a fraction of the time, that would equate to hundreds of billions of dollars saved," Moore says. "That's game-changing."
Valuable interventions
A 2014 study published in the journal Risk Management and Healthcare Policy found nonadherence is linked to poor therapeutic outcomes, progression of disease, and billions of dollars in annual avoidable health care costs. In the workplace, a 2016 study published in Preventing Chronic Disease found absenteeism associated with chronic disease or unhealthy lifestyles costs employers, on average, $2 billion per year.
"The data is staggering," Moore says.
But better adherence helps. With Twine, users input health-goal information into an app on a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. Twine then automatically connects the user with a registered medical expert, such as a nurse, doctor, or wellness coach in any given network. Users can then create a supportive care network.
Say a 60-year-old user with hypertension wants to reduce their high blood pressure. In most cases, the employee works with a health coach provided by their employer to build a highly personalized health action plan that might include: when to take medications and record blood pressure, specific dietary changes — such as "skip the sausage on your breakfast sandwich" — and achievable fitness goals — such as "walk around Lincoln Park twice." The app reminds the employee to do these things and updates progress toward those health goals. Additionally, the app automatically pulls data from wireless medical devices, such as blood-pressure monitors and glucose meters.
Importantly, Moore adds, the app analyzes the association between actions and outcomes, such as if a dietary change had any effect on blood pressure or glucose levels. "These interventions don't always work, so it helps you prioritize and make adjustments," Moore says.
On a web dashboard, health coaches can sort and filter the employees under their care according to adherence trends, biometric measurements, medication alerts, or other factors, in order to prioritize outreach and intervene with timely encouragement to stay on track. Each employee's team care team member can connect directly through a feed to send secure text messages and attachments. Providers can, for instance, link up quickly via text to switch medications or change doses, based on the user's metrics, or to schedule appointments. Loved ones can offer words of encouragement.
"Users get this support and learning embedded in their daily life," Moore says. "The key innovation is that collaboration permeates every aspect of the platform, so that patients become the most important member of the care team."
Breaking free of constraints
Twine's story starts in the early 2000s. As a physician in residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Moore felt stifled by a traditional health care system, where patients with chronic diseases have brief doctor's appointment once every few months or once per year. "[Doctors'] ability to help people follow through with successful treatments is archaic," Moore says. "We see people in office, send them out door, and they're on their own."
In 2006, Moore visited the Media Lab and was "blown away" by the lab's philosophy of innovating in every space, including health care, without restrictions. "The Media Lab mindset is about how technology and humans can work together in the best way possible, break free from the constraints of the current world, and solve the problems with an ideal approach," he says. "For me that was refreshing."
Moore began working with Moss and another engineer, Scott Gilroy, in the New Media Medicine group to develop technologies that could bring "science to health care delivery," Moore says. Early ideas included artificial-intelligence characters that would issue notifications, and games that encouraged people to stick to their medications.
Soon, however, the trio settled on a prototype for Twine. For the next six years, the team piloted their platform at the Joslin Diabetes Center and other hospitals. "We produced the best hypertension and diabetes results in the world to date," Moore says.
Armed with encouraging results, Moore and Moss launched Twine in 2013. For Moss, a veteran entrepreneur who co-founded several startups, including Bluefin Labs, which sold to Twitter in 2013, it all came down to finding the right co-founder. In Moore, Moss says, he saw an entrepreneur who was excited, energized, industrious, and passionate about making a big difference. "I got to know John well, and that was enough for me to say, 'This is the guy I want to form a company with,'" Moss says.
Although Twine has shifted its focus to the workplace, Moore sees this market as establishing a "playbook" for scaling the technology in traditional health care systems, where it all started. "How do you price it, how do you implement it, how do you train people?" Moore says. "This is the market that's going to demonstrate how the big health care systems can do this effectively."

Lots of people dismiss the very idea of a 'fear of work' as nothing but a sign of laziness. A way of hiding your lack of gumption and staying power under a psychological label.
They don't know how debilitating it can be to really dread showing up in your workplace, how tough it is to make it through the day loaded with anxiety.
Dread like this can be set off by other things than work itself, of course. If bullying is or has been a problem, or if your working relationships are particularly challenging, you might find it helpful to look at our Dealing with Difficult People downloads. But right now we're talking about feeling anxious and stressed about the work.
Work fears can have one or more components in the brew. Maybe you're always worrying about mistakes. Perhaps you feel everyone is judging you (and finding you wanting). It might feel hard to relax and do what you have to do confidently and calmly.
You might think you're too slow, or too awkward, or simply don't have enough experience. And thinking about it all the time just makes you more anxious!
The thing to remember is that you weren't born this way.
This emotional pattern where you automatically associate work with anxiety and stress is something you've learned. And even though you've learned it, this doesn't mean you're stuck with it for good.
You can learn to make new positive associations with work, and you can do this much more quickly and easily than you might think.
