The holiday season always brings out some great opportunities to have fun with our dogs and help great causes. Like Erika Freidman's (Canine Celebration, New York-see post of Oct. 21st) recent Hound-o-Ween event and Carla Gambescia's Dogs in Party Hats contest which has been extended to December 12 (see previous post) and of course Christmas Feet which will be held on November 20th in Bryant Park, New York. It will feature a fashion show directed by Ada Nieves, Pawty Planner extraordinaire. I will post my interview with Ada shortly.
This week, I had several occasions when people came to me to seek some advice about issues surrounding dogs…I am by no means an expert, all I can do is share with people the experiences of others in helping them to make some difficult or important decisions regarding their dogs.
Looks like this pooch knows how to have fun!
On Tuesday, I received a tearful phone call about a situation in which a beloved dog was to be put down that afternoon. This dog has been having seizures, and struggles with her medication for them. She is a dog that was brought up from the Shenandoah Valley over ten years ago, so her exact age was never known. At first a difficult dog, Cody calmed down and became a part of our lives (she lived down the road). My dog Hooper, not one to like other dogs, found a true canine friend in Cody. The caller wanted me to intervene, to buy Cody more time. I didn't, because I think this is a personal decision, one that was so hard for the dog's owner, and I truly could offer no help. I felt guilty and sad, and still do. We need to enjoy our dogs each day, and focus on the good memories of them.
During the course of the week, someone I am related too asked if she should get another dog to keep their Golden retriever company. I have trouble with this, because if you aren't able to give your dog the time and attention it deserves (this has been an issue for me before with this party) then another dog isn't the answer. You can't ask another dog to be a surrogate care-giver. You must put the time in. Another family member is trying to add a dog to their life. They have put in an application for a pit-mix in the city, but they are disappointed on how many shelters do not respond to their queries. I advise them to take their time and let the right dog and situation come to them at the right time…Another friend has to surrender a recently adopted pit bull today because another dog in the house will not accept it. She is heartbroken but was wise enough to find another home for him.
As for me, I am suffering along with my Portuguese water dog, Hooper, as she deals with a "ruff" and prolonged flea season. We try everything, natural and commercial, combing, bathing, lemon, eucalyptus….you name it…hopefully a hard freeze will help to alleviate the situation.
This morning, I listened to a television talk show about pets and a woman from a local shelter who talked about "black dog syndrome." She said that black dogs do not photograph as well as light-colored dogs, sometimes preventing them from being adopted more quickly. As my dog is predominantly black, I do know that it is difficult to photograph her…but she is a beauty, photogenic or not, so when looking at photos on Petfinder.com or elsewhere, please keep this in mind when trying to add a pooch to your life.
I am ready for my close-up. Do you think I photograph well?
Seizures? Hmmmm fully vaccinated I bet!!! You can't inject animals with toxic chemicals and think nothing will happen.
Wendy, I suspect Cody got into something toxic, she was famous for getting out and she ate all kinds of wild animals – I mean a total killer…So I always caution everyone not to jump to conclusions about the circumstances surrounding a dog's (or human's) illness. She also had had some dental issues, so we just never know. I also suspect she was older than we all thought.
Sorry to hear about Cody. I suspect Hooper will wonder what happened to her.
Hooper hasn't been down to the house since her friend's passing, but I am sure she will wonder when we do. Thanks.
Nothing worse than losing one of our babies. I feel for Cody's mom and dad. Even when you know in your mind it's time it's so hard to to let them go.

The Over Exhortative Worship Leader : Reform worship.
That might have been me this morning: an over exhortative worship leader. In all of my Easter excitement I was ready to lead hundreds of hungry worshipers in exuberant praise. It's easy to lead worship on Resurrection Sunday, right? Our extra large band was all geared up to lead, and we opened with Hillsong United's classic "Glory".
I thought, surely everyone who participates in this song (from Psalm 24) will become as undignified as David was, leaping and whirling before the ark of the Lord. Surely we who live on this side of Jesus' resurrection will go crazy before God on this very special day. Psalm 24 was traditionally sung by the children of Israel to the gates of Jerusalem upon the arrival of the ark into the city. David might have sung this song during the procession recorded in 1 Samuel 6, when he tore off his priestly robes and danced before the ark. We came into the presence of God this morning in our Easter Celebrations. We encountered His glory in an unusually manifest way as we invited Him in.
So when there was virtually no outward expression of praise coming from the worshipers (particularly in the 9:30 and 11:00 Celebrations), not only was I shocked, but I might have tried to take it upon myself to elicit a David-like response. I do think it is good for worship leaders to sometimes lead people in physical expression and/or cognition, but too much of it could be repulsive. I wasn't telling people to lift their hands or close their eyes or anything crazy like that. I was simply hoping that the truths we were passionately declaring in our songs would compel worshipers to show their excitement. The connection was present in many of the regulars, which was encouraging. But many others literally stood still with their arms crossed, mouths closed, seemingly unmoved altogether.
I should have anticipated this. Typically, more spiritually dead people come to church on Easter. The problem was that I wasn't prepared to lead them. My unpreparedness led to what might have been insensitivity in my inter-phrasal comments. The things I say while we're singing are meant to lead people into really thinking about what they're singing. For example, before singing the line "Every knee will bow in heaven and the earth, and every eye will see the measure of your worth," I might say something like, "This is the truth." Or after singing, "Behold the Lamb in heaven! He was dead, but God raised Him from the grave," I might ask, "Do you believe this?" or "Sing it like you believe it." My tendency is: the more spiritual deadness I discern, the more exhortative I become. And physical expression, or lack thereof, is somewhat a measurement for me. This morning I was at least twice as exhortative as usual, which could have possibly been confusing or deterring to some.
I'm not being too hard on myself. I do believe God spoke what he wanted to speak this morning. I believe the Gospel broke through to many hearts this morning, despite what we saw. But I also believe I can learn from this experience, and hopefully be better prepared in my future leading. Most importantly, here is another lesson in simply trusting God to do what He wants to do when we faithfully proclaim His Good News.
I hear ya, Ryan. When I feel a great excitement in response to Truth, I too often want to cajole others into that same happy place, and this is manipulation instead of invitation, pure and simple. Your humble post was a good reminder to me to respond well to God and to let others have the same freedom, whether I see it or not.

30 awesome games for $30 or less
By GamesRadar Staff 2014-04-15T21:20:00.104Z
After busy months like March, which brought a barrage of awesome games in the form of Dark Souls 2, Titanfall, and South Park: The Stick of Truth, we're down for a bit of R&R. By which we mean, a time to relax and catch up on our ever-growing backlog. An impossible task, but a noble one nonetheless.
But perhaps you've already burned through most of the games you'd been hoping to get to, and you're looking for something new to play. After all, there's not a whole lot slated for the rest of April, or even the first half of May. To help you get through the spring lull, we've compiled a list of 30 awesome games--any of which can be purchased for less than $30. Want to increase your backlog? Here are some mighty fine suggestions, starting with...
Games in the $20-30 price range
Imagine, if you will, a tactical RPG akin to XCOM: Enemy Within or Fire Emblem: Awakening in which you control humans and Viking-like giants. Add to that an Oregon Trail-esque traveling component where terrible, terrible things happen to your clansmen, forcing you to march on while your people die in droves. That game is The Banner Saga, a grueling but rewarding RPG experience built for the iron-willed. It's a game in which defeat is always at your heels, and even when you're winning, you feel like you're losing. Still, its mature story, gorgeous Disney-like aesthetic, and tough-as-nails combat scenarios make this adventure well worth your time.
Available on: PS Vita
You've likely played a few dozen JRPGs that have brave heroes fighting against wizards in medieval worlds--why not try something different? Like, very different. Persona 4 Golden is a modern-day RPG, wherein you're playing as a teenager in Japan who needs to juggle his monster killing with schoolwork, all the while creating new summons via captured and crafted demons. But while that might sound a little silly and niche, it's actually an an incredibly relatable, 100+ hour journey. Sure, you're playing as a Japanese schoolboy surrounded by a bunch of teenagers, but that's more relatable. Each character is brilliantly fleshed out, and the storytelling and writing are top notch--Persona 4: Golden is the modern JRPG.
Available on: PC, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U
Welcome to the most badass Zelda Clone ever conceived. In Darksiders 2, you control Death, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Your goal: to clear the name of your brother, War, who has been framed for the annihilation of mankind. The awesome premise will have you exploring a number of vast regions, loot-filled dungeons, and even the charred remnants of planet Earth. The combat here rivals some of the best action games have to offer, and you'll love adding new abilities and equipment to your already-destructive arsenal. As far as action adventure games go, Darksiders 2 is criminally overlooked.
Available on: PC, PS3, Xbox 360
Maybe you hated Ninja Theory's take on a classic action hero. Or maybe you approached the new Dante with an open mind. Regardless of your reaction to his redesign, the action in DmC: Devil May Cry speaks for itself. This is an excellent combo-driven action game, one that is packed with a variety of awesome weapons, fun bosses, and environmental designs that will make you feel like you're on an intense acid trip. Not that we'd know what that's like--it's just a phrase that seemed fitting.
Available on: PC, Mac, Linux
Traditional point-and-click adventure games are few and far between in 2014. In the past decade, the genre has gone through a sort of metamorphosis, evolving into games like Heavy Rain and The Walking Dead. But plenty of people like that old style of clicking on everything in a room until a new dialog option opens up, and for them, there's Double Fine's Broken Age. Originally started as a Kickstarter (and eventually broken into two acts), the game has a modern look and a classic feel. You'll jump between playing as Shay (a boy trapped in an overprotective space ship) and Vella (a girl trying to slay a monster), in parallel storytelling that's at the top of its class.
Available on: PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One
Before there was Nathan Drake, there was Lara Croft--one of gaming's original treasure hunters. Over time, she fell by the wayside, but was brought back into the limelight by Crystal Dynamic's Tomb Raider reboot. This gritty adventure sees Lara and her crew shipwrecked on an island, which, as it just so happens, is inhabited by hundreds of seemingly insane cultists. It's a well-crafted but mysterious setting, one packed with tons of secrets and even more deadly traps and enemies. And, of course, tombs, which you'd do well to raid. Considering this was our runner-up to the 2013 game of the year, you can't go wrong for the low asking price.
Available on: PC, Mac, Xbox 360, PS3, iOS
You're Bigby Wolf, formerly of Big Bad Wolf fame, investigating crimes in the fairy tale-filled Fabletown. Made by the same team that developed The Walking Dead (our 2012 game of the year), The Wolf Among Us has you interacting with the likes of Mr. Toad and Snow White as you track down a brutal murderer. Like, crazy, grisly stuff. And though the first episode flies pretty close to Telltale's zombie franchise, the later episodes evolve to become more unique and more stylized. The series isn't over yet (we're only three episodes in, at the time of posting), but the first half of the season is strong enough that we feel fine recommending you jump onboard now.

Lull in rain allows Thailand cave rescue to pick up pace
MAE SAI, Thailand: The frantic effort to locate 12 boys and their soccer coach missing in a cave in Thailand for a week picked up pace as a break in the rain eased flooding in the system of caverns and more experts from around the world joined the anxious rescue mission.
The search in the northern province of Chiang Rai has been going slowly, largely because flooding has blocked rescuers from going through chambers to get deeper into the cave. Pumping out water hasn't solved the problem, so the attention has focused on finding shafts on the mountainside that might serve as a back door to the blocked-off areas where the missing may be sheltering.
The boys, ages 11 to 16, and their 25-year-old coach entered the sprawling Tham Luang Nang Non cave after a soccer game on June 23, but near-constant rains have thwarted the search for them. Authorities have nevertheless expressed hope that the group has found a dry place within the cave to wait.
Reflecting that hope, a medical evacuation drill was held Saturday morning to see how long it would take to get rescued people out of the cave into 13 ambulances and to the nearest hospital.
Australian police and military personnel joined other multinational teams, including U.S. military personnel and experts from a British cave exploration club. China sent a six-person team of rescue and disaster experts to the cave, the Chinese Embassy in Bangkok said. The group has experience in lifesaving operations in Myanmar and Nepal, the embassy said.
A second, private Chinese group calling itself Green Boat Emergency also arrived Saturday.
"Our skills are search-and-rescue on mountains and in caves. We hope we can help," said Wang Xudong, of the group.
Chiang Rai Gov. Narongsak Osatanakorn said the falling water level in the cave has helped considerably.
"Today, the situation is much better and we have high hopes, and will be here all night," he said early Saturday evening.
Thai navy SEAL divers have been crucial to the search, but have been stymied by muddy water reaching the cave's ceiling, forcing them to suspend operations again and again. With water levels dropping, they resumed dives Saturday, re-entering a chamber from which they had retreated days earlier. But they could not advance farther than 200 yards from their position, the team reported.
In addition to pumping out the flooded chambers, rescuers were working on finding the source of the water that's been rushing into the cave in order to drain or divert it.
Officials also began dropping care packages into the shafts in hopes the missing might retrieve them.


Bezafibrate belongs to the class of medications known as fibrates. Bezafibrate is used in addition to diet and other measures to treat high cholesterol and high-to-very-high levels of triglycerides, a type of lipid (fat).
Each white-to-off-white, round, biconvex, coated tablet debossed "J9" on one side and plain on the other contains 400 mg of bezafibrate. Nonmedicinal ingredients: lactose monohydrate, sodium lauryl sulphate, povidone (K-30), hypromellose (HPMC K100 LV), silica colloidal anhydrous, magnesium stearate, hypromellose (HPMC E-5), ethyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate copolymer, Macrogol (PEG 8000), purified talc, titanium dioxide, polysorbate 80, and sodium citrate.
The recommended adult dose of bezafibrate is one 400 mg sustained-release tablet daily. Swallow the tablet whole with plenty of fluid, with or after meals. Do not chew or crush the tablet.
Blood counts: This medication may decrease the amount of hemoglobin (the part of red blood cells that carry oxygen), white blood cells (that help fight infection), and platelets (that help the blood to clot) during the first 12 months of treatment. Your doctor will monitor for these changes with blood tests during your first year of treatment.
Gallstones: Bezafibrate may increase the risk for gallstones. If you experience symptoms of gallstones (e.g., persistent and severe upper abdominal pain, pain in the back between the shoulder blades, pain under the right shoulder, nausea, vomiting), contact your doctor immediately.
Liver function: Bezafibrate may affect your liver function. You will have your liver function monitored regularly with blood tests while you are taking this medication. If you have had liver problems or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Muscle problems: Very rarely, this medication can cause muscle problems such as myositis (inflammation of the muscles) or rhabdomyolysis (breakdown of muscle that can cause kidney damage). If you experience any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness, especially if you also have a fever and are not feeling well, contact your doctor immediately.
Pregnancy: Bezafibrate should not be taken during pregnancy. Women who could become pregnant while using this medication should use adequate birth control. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, stop taking it and contact your doctor immediately. If you are planning to become pregnant, you should stop this medication several months before trying to become pregnant.
Breast-feeding: It is not known if bezafibrate passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking this medication, it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.
Seniors: The use of this medication by people over the age of 70 is not recommended because of age-related decreases in kidney function.

The store displays along Fifth Avenue — also during a recession, merchants in New York get all out with screen displays. You'll go along Fifth between 57th and 34th on either region of the road to check out amazing creations. Make sure you just take photographs because they are going to be gone. If you're walking in a downtown course, turn appropriate at 34th and go a block or two to Macy's. If you're walking uptown, switch appropriate at 57th and check out Bloomingdale's, plus a lot of beautiful stores on 57th.
Central Park — everybody knows the ice skating rink is gorgeous, but my personal favorite view is from Strawberry Fields. It is wide open and absolutely nothing measures up if there is snowfall.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art — If climate is truly crummy, invest a complete day here. There are a great number of museums in ny, but this 1 features everything — from modern-day art completely back again to ancient Egypt.
Greenwich Village and Soho — it may look sort of cliche, but this really is an excellent location to poke around in cold temperatures. You can always duck into only a little cafe for a coffee or libation, and there are a great number of pretty little shops to see.
The Theatre District — Again, if weather is harsh, it is possible to kill considerable time witnessing amazing productions.
The Breakers — Head means uptown on a snowy time. This spot is totally stunning.
Incidentally, I'm sure where you might get a fantastic hiking tour of NYC.
And here are some NYC book tips to enable you to prepare yourself.

Q: Should the parallel propagator appear in the point-split stress-energy tensor? The first step in Hadamard regularization of the stress-energy tensor of a free Dirac field is to write out the point-split expression
$$\langle T_{\mu \nu} \rangle \equiv \frac{1}{4} \lim_{x'\to x} \mathrm{Tr} \gamma_{(\mu} \left(\nabla_{\nu)}G^{(1)}(x, x') - \nabla_{\nu')} G^{(1)}(x, x') \right),$$
where $G^{(1)}$ is the Hadamard two-point function for the Dirac field, primed indices refer to the field point, $\nabla_\mu$ is the covariant derivative, the trace is over the suppressed spinor indices on $G^{(1)}$, and the limit is understood to be along the unique geodesic from $x'$ to $x$, which lie within a convex normal neighbourhood.
This is the form given in e.g. Christensen's original paper (PRD 17:4 1978), but it strikes me that it doesn't make a ton of sense since there are primed tensor and spinor indices on the RHS only. One might (?) more properly write
$$\langle T_{\mu \nu} \rangle \equiv \frac{1}{4} \lim_{x'\to x}\mathrm{Tr}\mathcal{J}^{-1}  \gamma_{(\mu} \left(\nabla_{\nu)}G^{(1)}(x, x') - g^{\kappa'}_{\nu)} \nabla_{\kappa'} G^{(1)}(x, x') \right),$$
where $g^{\kappa'}_{\nu}$  and $\mathcal{J}$ are the parallel propagators of tensor and spinor indices.
Of course if the limit is taken exactly, these expressions are equivalent, since both parallel propagators become identities over the relevant indices. However, I would like to evaluate the limit only approximately, by evaluating the point-separated expression at successive finite separations and then extrapolating to zero geodesic distance.
Would the inclusion of the parallel propagators improve the convergence rate?

Q: Finding minimum force to hold a particle in equilibrium
A particle of mass $m$ is suspended from a point A on a vertical wall by means of a light inextensible string of length $b$. Find the magnitude and direction of the minumum force $\boldsymbol P$ that would hold the particle in equilibrium at a distance $a$ from the wall.

I found this problem on MathSE and tried to help the OP with it but with no success. This is my sketch of the situation:

So, for $b,a$ fixed lengths we know that $\theta = \arctan\frac{a}{\sqrt{b^2-a^2}}$. Since the sum of the forces must be $0$, the magnitude of $\boldsymbol P$ can be expressed by:
$$\|\boldsymbol P\|=\frac{mg-T\cos\theta}{\sin\alpha}=\frac{T\sin\theta}{\cos\alpha}.$$
I really don't know how to get another equation that relates $\alpha,\boldsymbol T$ and $\boldsymbol P$. Also I'm struggling with expressing equations that show a path leading towards a raw maximization-minimization calculus problem. I appreciate your thoughts on the problem and will be very thankful if you could give me a hint.

A: In this problem you get two equations. One for forces in equilibrium along the horizontal direction and the other for the vertical direction. With the help of horizontal equation
$T \sin \theta = P \cos \alpha$
You can insert $T$ from above equation in the vertical force equation thus eliminating $T$.
Then your answer gives $P$ as a function of $\alpha$ and $\theta$. Differentiate $P$ with respect to $\alpha$ to obtain the min-max or get a graphical solution.
You have lumped up two equations in one.

A: There's no such thing as minimum force for equilibrium. There is no range. Just a single value.
For equilibrium, there should be no net external forces on the particle, so $\vec{F}_{net} = \vec{P} + \vec{T} + m\vec{g} = 0$.
This would mean, in the horizontal direction: $P \cos \alpha = T \sin \theta$, or $P = T \sin \theta / \cos \alpha$
In the vertical direction, $P \sin \alpha + T \cos \theta = m g$
Solve these two, and you should get an equation that relates all the variables in the problem.

A: What you have written down is just the force balance. For any body to be in equilibrium, the net moment acting on it must also be zero. So use the moment balance relation also:
Moment about $A$ should be zero for equilibrium,
$$ |\vec{P}|\times \cos (\theta-\alpha)=mg\times a$$
Now solve the above equation along with the force balance equation you have to get $\vec{P}$


00:14.25	Well, it's a pleasure to be here today to talk about openness in academia.
00:20.09	And what I am going to try and talk about are the questions of whether data and results being shared?
00:26.02	What are the impediments to sharing, and who is responsible?
00:35.01	that academic institutions should be open to free discussion of controversial ideas.
00:48.06	that there was secrecy all over campuses during the war. There were logical inhibitions about publishing material.
00:54.29	Students were walking around in uniforms. We were not allowed to talk about our work.
01:08.05	and it was very important to keep secret things secret.
01:11.21	When I moved to Berkeley, however, hostilities had ended and one would expect that the place would return to openness.
01:19.13	And in fact it took a couple of years before the protests of university faculty all over the country removed secret research from campuses.
01:27.19	So it was a pleasure to see campuses wide open again.
01:30.09	Now however, I find new trends towards secrecy again and secrecy comes from a variety of directions.
01:38.08	On the one hand the scientists themselves tend to be secret.
01:43.04	The second part is that companies come along on campuses and have different interests from university professors.
01:49.20	And there is secrecy as a result of that collaboration.
01:52.09	And then government has interceded in this. We wind up then with new impediments to openness.
02:00.20	And that is what I want to talk about today.
02:02.20	Now this is beautifully illustrated in my first slide which deals with scientists.
02:07.00	Here is a view of a distinguished Nobel laureate.
02:17.02	which are read by many referees and officials. I hold back anything that another investigator might hop on and carry out."
02:36.25	far from preventing people from stealing it, I have always had to ram any idea of mine down their throats.
02:43.26	Even scientists are unbelievably conservative."
02:47.02	Now it's fascinating. These two distinguished scientists were both crystallographers.
03:15.27	would then send their data to these databanks, and anybody who wanted to could get access to the data.
03:22.17	So people who wanted to make a mutant of that protein could do it. Other people who wanted to modify the structure a little bit could do that too.
03:29.22	And so it became traditional for crystallographers to publish their material in the protein databanks.
03:37.09	But some resisted it. The journals had policies that they would not publish your paper unless you deposit the coordinates in a protein databank.
03:53.05	the first illustration of that was on my earlier slide, would not deposit their coordinates.
04:14.20	we will no longer fund scientific research in crystallography if you publish a detailed paper of structure without depositing the coordinates.
04:22.22	So that form of secrecy was eliminated.
04:31.06	was also compounded by the fact that many scientists would not deposit materials.
04:37.04	So for example, one makes a mutant which is valuable, you are supposed to provide that mutant through the mail to anybody who requests it.
04:42.24	And here is a good illustration of what happened in this one case.
05:03.27	and 3) yield the providers first rights on any improvement of the vector or products made with it."
05:10.11	You can just imagine the uproar that occurred over that. People were very unhappy about this, and this is a non-business institution.
05:18.15	It's a private, non-profit institution.
05:21.00	And look what happens when a company gets involved.
05:36.07	related to medical or manufacturing products, excluding existing research agreements with third parties."
05:52.02	at Institution Y before the disclosures are filed with the government."
06:07.06	even though they were only funding 20% of the research in that laboratory.
06:10.25	So that meant that they couldn't get involved with NIH funded research.
06:14.07	So the uproar over this kind of behavior was enormous, and much of it has now stopped, although it still continues.
06:21.01	The coordinate problem is still with us in other fields of science.
06:24.07	So now let me go on to two cases, which I will talk about very, very briefly.
06:37.29	and she was also a professor at the University of Toronto.
06:40.25	She was involved in research on thalassemia.
06:43.07	The research was funded by a big company in Canada, and she wanted to publish it.
06:48.18	And they told her she can't publish it.
06:55.21	actually turned out to be deleterious and was harmful.
06:58.08	And she felt that it was her obligation to report those results to the parents of these sick children.
07:04.02	So a huge battle ensued because she did publish it.
07:07.06	She got dismissed from the affair. She got fired, and a battle ensued that lasted for a long period of time.
07:25.15	we need enclaves in our society where the views that are expressed have not been purchased."
07:40.03	especially since the research dealt with fact that the drug could be harmful to kids.
07:45.09	She had a confidentiality agreement, which she shouldn't have signed.
07:48.08	It shouldn't have been offered to her, and the hospital shouldn't have allowed it.
07:51.20	So all three were guilty on that score.
07:53.27	In another case, involving Brown University, there was a professor there by the name of David Kern who was in charge of occupational medicine.
08:01.05	And in the course of talking to people who were coming in to see him, he noticed some people with a lung disease.
08:15.18	that they were also having what he called interstitial lung disease.
08:19.03	So he immediately told the people in the union, you better stop working there because you are going to have real problems.
08:30.04	didn't like that advice at all, and they told him that he can't release the information.
08:33.24	He decided to release it anyway, and he published it in one of the journals dealing with thoracic medicine.
08:39.10	And immediately he got in a lot of trouble.
08:43.01	He had too signed a confidentiality agreement, but his agreement had nothing to do with treatment of patients.
08:49.24	It had to do only with trade secrets of which he was completely unaware, because that wasn't his province.
08:54.17	In any case, he left. The American Thoracic Society wrote the following note in support of him.
09:00.16	"Barriers to the open communication of scientific information must be resisted.
09:10.25	to prevent the open communication of scientific information is abhorrent."
09:15.08	So David Kern was fired from the job as head of occupational medicine.
09:19.11	He left Brown University, and he is practicing medicine on the side.
09:30.11	in the administrative structure of university campuses.
09:33.21	It is much more bureaucratic. We now have material transfer agreements. We have technology transfer offices.
09:39.05	We now have member of understanding, and we have to be aware of that.
09:44.25	What used to be a simple transfer of materials of a colleague to another university of a clone, a plasmid, whatever, a strain, is no longer possible.
09:55.09	You now must go through a technology transfer offices.
10:13.08	and the man who was going to supply it doesn't know what he is supplying.
10:15.21	So in the meantime the word intellectual property has come up.
10:19.29	These offices are there to protect intellectual property. It has changed the nature and the culture of universities.
10:30.22	of the UC San Diego campus in his state of the campus address in 2001.
10:38.03	He wrote, "as scholars, we should not seek knowledge for its own sake."
10:42.20	A pretty horrendous statement for somebody who is the head of the university.
10:54.25	it was modified on the web from its original form and its printed form.
11:00.02	And now it reads as follows, "as scholars, we should not seek knowledge merely for its own sake."
11:05.14	And the word merely was inserted. I am not sure that makes it much better, but that's what the present view of the statement is on the archives.
11:18.15	statewide, from which he has been removed at a later time.
11:27.04	50 new companies had been started by the faculty of the campus.
11:31.23	And he was so proud of that, he wanted to go the industrial route.
11:36.04	The next sentence in this statement is, "We should seek knowledge that has real value for us."
11:41.25	So in other words, he has staked out the commercial point of view about universities.
11:52.20	we should be universities that, as I will indicate later, make money for us because we have to support ourselves.
11:58.27	Obviously we are short on money right now from government sources so there is understandable pressure in that direction.
12:04.07	But a lot of people don't like this point of view.
12:17.15	sap its effectiveness and lower its standing in society.
12:21.14	A pretty profound statement indicating what he thinks the university ought to be.
12:26.08	He is not alone. Here is a statement from Jennifer Washburn who wrote a wonderful book called "University Inc".
12:39.27	the intrinsic value of intellectual discovery, human creativity, knowledge, and ideas.
12:46.04	Again a kind of statement that I happen to fall in love with rather than a statement that as scholars we should not produce knowledge for its own sake.
12:53.27	I would hate to be in the history department at San Diego when this man made this statement.
13:16.12	have significant potential to impede scientific endeavor and, by extension, innovation."
13:31.28	and I chose not to write about my beautiful research. I chose to write about how academia has changed.
13:39.05	And the title of my article was "From publish or perish to patent and prosper" and that is essentially where we are today.
13:46.04	In closing I would like to return once more to the so-called marriage between universities and industry.
14:01.01	who used the Freedom of Information Act to uncover what was considered to be a secret deal.
14:06.17	And this is the arrangement. The University of Virginia Commonwealth university secret contract to do research for Philip Morris.
14:32.12	university officials have to decline to comment and inform the company.
14:42.04	not the university or its professors." A pretty horrible contract.
14:47.06	And notice the word intellectual property comes up again.
14:49.20	In closing this discussion, I call it openness or money.
15:00.17	who acknowledged that many of the provisions violated the university's guidelines for industry-sponsored research.
15:09.11	"In the end," he goes on, "it was language we thought we could agree to. It's a balancing act."
15:15.09	You will be the judge as to whether this was a legitimate balancing act.
15:34.06	and even as one of my friends pointed out, to intellectual piracy.
15:39.04	In closing I return to H. L. Mencken who said, "If it is not about money, it's about money." Thank you very much.
Schachman asserts that sharing data and material is critical to the advancement of basic research. He argues that allowing commercial interests to restrict academic freedom would seriously undermine the character of the academic environment.

Konkurs na wzór flagi Australii – inicjatywa rządu Australii, która miała miejsce w 1901 roku i została ogłoszona przez premiera Australii Edmunda Bartona w celu zaprojektowania flagi dla Związku Australijskiego.

Po uzyskaniu niepodległości przez Australię 1 stycznia 1901 roku oraz po otrzymaniu wniosku rządu brytyjskiego o zaprojektowanie nowej flagi dla Australii, nowy rząd federalny ogłosił przeprowadzenie oficjalnego konkursu na zaprojektowanie nowej flagi 29 kwietnia 1901 roku. Konkurs trwał do 31 maja 1901 roku, w trakcie którego zostały zgłoszone 32823 projekty nowej flagi australijskiej. Nadesłane prace zostały skatalogowane w Royal Exhibition Building w Melbourne.

Zgodnie z regulaminem konkursu, każdy z uczestników musiał przesłać na konkurs dwa kolorowe szkice o wymiarach 15 na 7,5 cm. Początkowo nagroda finansowa w konkursie wynosiła 150 funtów szterlingów (po 75 funtów szterlingów przyznane przez rząd Australii i czasopismo  The Review of Reviews), która następnie została zwiększona poprzez dotację firmy Havelock Tobacco Company o kolejne 50 funtów szterlingów. Ostatecznie łączna kwota w konkursie wynosiła 200 funtów szterlingów. Nadesłane prace były oceniane według siedmiu kryteriów: lojalność wobec Imperium, Federacji, historii, heraldyki, charakterystyczności, użyteczności i kosztów produkcji.

Większość nadesłanych prac zawierała motywy flagi Wielkiej Brytanii oraz Krzyża Południa, które uzupełnione były przez różne wariacje form i kolorystyki, między innymi przez: belki, tarcze, postacie, zwierzęta czy litery. Ostatecznie pierwsze miejsce zostało przyznane pięciu identycznym pracom nadesłanym przez: Annie Dorrington, artystkę z Perth, Ivora Evansa, ucznia z Melbourne, Leslie Hawkins, ucznia optyki z Sydney, Egberta Nuttalla, architekta z Melbourne, oraz Williama Stevensa, oficera statku z Auckland w Nowej Zelandii. Każdy autor zwycięskiej pracy otrzymał nagrodę pieniężną w wysokości 40 funtów szterlingów.

Prezentacja zwycięskich prac odbyła się 3 września 1901 roku w Royal Exhibition Building w Melbourne z udziałem premiera Australii Edmunda Bartona. Ostatecznie projekt flagi Australii został zatwierdzony przez króla Edwarda VII 20 lutego 1903 roku.

Brazil Will Have to Boost Spending in 2023, Lula's Adviser Says
Brazil's next president will have to temporarily increase public spending to fight poverty and unemployment, according to a close economic adviser to Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who leads opinion polls ahead of the October vote, Bloomberg News reported.
Latam Bondholders Losing 80% Cry Foul Over Those Who'll Get Par
Local creditors of Latam Airlines Group SA are up in arms over a bankruptcy plan that would leave them with next to nothing even as holders of overseas bonds get almost all their money back, Bloomberg News reported. BancoEstado SA, a Santiago-based bank acting on behalf of local noteholders, has asked Latin America's largest airline to improve its terms. The investors are threatening to sue if their demands aren't meant, and contend that as a Chilean company, Latam should have filed for protection in local courts — instead of New York — that would have treated domestic creditors better.
Brazil's 2021 Inflation Highest Since 2015, Missing Target
Annual inflation in Brazil ended 2021 at a six-year high of 10.06%, government data showed on Tuesday, well above the upper limit of the central bank's year-end target range due to surging fuel and energy prices, Reuters reported. Despite slowing from the 12 months through November, when it reached 10.74%, the rise in the benchmark IPCA consumer price index was the most for a calendar year since 2015, said IBGE, while slightly exceeding the 9.97% median forecast in a Reuters poll of economists.
Argentina Bonds Slump as Economy Chief Criticizes IMF Proposals
Argentine dollar bonds fell the most since September after Economy Minister Martin Guzman criticized spending cuts proposed by the International Monetary Fund, highlighting the difficulties ahead in securing a new agreement, Bloomberg News reported. Notes maturing in 2041 dropped 1 cent to 32.8 cents on the dollar, the biggest decline since Sept. 20, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Credit-default swaps widened the most in five weeks.

São Paulo State Prosecutor's Office Calls for Bankruptcy Decree of Itapemirim Airline
Thursday, January 6 2022
The São Paulo State Prosecutor's Office has requested that the Court block the assets of Sidnei Piva and declare the bankruptcy of Viação Itapemirim and ITA Transportes Aéreos, the Rio Times reported. The opinion, signed by the 5th Bankruptcy Prosecutor, Nilton Belli Filho, was submitted in the airline's judicial reorganization proceeding.
Paraguay to End 2021 with 6.8% Inflation - Central Bank
Monday, January 3 2022
Paraguay will end 2021 with inflation of 6.8%, well above the official target and the highest rate since 2010, driven by food and fuel price increases, the central bank said on Thursday, Reuters reported. Last year consumer prices in the country rose 2.2% and the official goal for 2021 was to end the year with a 4% rise. In 2010, inflation was 7.2%. Fuels soared almost 30%, beef 18% and flour 16% in 2021, according to a report from the bank, which did not register increases in consumer prices during the month of December.
Creditors Reject Brazil Pellet-Maker Samarco's Debt-Restructuring Plan
Creditors of Brazilian iron ore pellet-producer Samarco Mineração rejected the company's proposal to restructure its debt under a bankruptcy protection plan, mining giant Vale said in a statement, bnamericas.com reported. A 50/50 joint venture between Vale and BHP, Samarco filed for bankruptcy protection earlier this year to avoid early payment to some bondholders in an effort to preserve its cash flow and resume full production. The company currently has debts of 50bn reais (US$8.8bn), of which 26bn reais are in outstanding bonds and 24bn reais are owed to Vale and BHP.
Brazil Central Bank Puts Brakes on Tougher Rules for Fintechs
Brazil's central bank has put the brakes on tougher regulations for the burgeoning fintech industry, withdrawing a draft proposal that had been set to be voted on last month by the government's top financial policy-making body, four sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. On Nov. 18, the central bank proposed that the regulations be discussed at an extraordinary meeting of the National Monetary Council (CMN) but the new rules - which look to level the playing field between fintechs and traditional banks - were never voted on, the sources say.
Latam Air Creditors Slam Bankruptcy Plan, Tout Azul Offer
Latam Airlines Group SA's official low-ranking creditor group is unhappy with the Chilean carrier's bankruptcy exit proposal, arguing a sale to rival Azul SA could leave its members much better off, Bloomberg News reported. In court papers filed on Wednesday, Santiago-based Latam's unsecured creditor committee said the airline's current reorganization plan is so unfair that it can't win court approval. It flouts U.S. bankruptcy rules by favoring some evenly-ranked creditors over others and giving value to shareholders that don't deserve it, lawyers for the group wrote.

SANParks arrests field rangers
South African National Parks (SANParks) says two field rangers suspected of being involved in rhino poaching have been arrested.
The two suspects were based at the Houtboschrand section of Kruger National Park (KNP) and are alleged to have shot and dehorned a white rhino in May this year.
The suspects were arrested on Monday as a result of an intensive joint investigation carried out by the SANParks Environmental Crime Investigative Unit and South African Police Service (SAPS).
Their arrest follows a report in May in which shots were reported by tourists and a poached rhino carcass was then found with its horns missing. The two suspects had been deployed in the area at the time of the reports.
KNP Managing Executive Glenn Phillips congratulated the investigating team on the arrests.
"We have zero tolerance for corruption and criminality within our ranks and we are very disappointed at some of our members who betray the trust of all South Africans and nature lovers. We want to warn others that we are coming after you," Phillips said.
The two suspects will appear in court in due course.
Meanwhile, three poachers were arrested on Monday by rangers who had been following suspects' tracks for most of the day.
The rangers, who were supported by K9 and Airwing reaction teams, made the arrests shortly before last light.
The suspects were in possession of a heavy calibre hunting rifle, poaching equipment and ammunition at the time of arrest.
The suspects are facing charges related to illegal hunting in a national park. – SAnews.gov.za

Taiwan to donate US$1m to Indonesia
Staff writer, with CNA
A child holds an item in front of a wall with the writing which reads "Help us Mr President" amid destruction caused by a massive earthquake and tsunami in Loly, Sulawesi, Indonesia, yesterday.
Taiwan is to donate US$1 million to Indonesia to support relief efforts following a devastating earthquake that struck the island of Sulawesi late last month, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said yesterday.
The ministry will hand the US$1 million in relief funds to the Indonesian government to be used to aid reconstruction in the area affected by the quake.
The decision to make the donation was based on humanitarian needs and the close friendship between Taiwan and Indonesia, the ministry said.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare has also opened two special bank accounts to take donations from people who want to help Sulawesi residents recover from the earthquake, the foreign ministry said.
The bank accounts will be open for donations until Nov. 3, with the health ministry handing the funds over to the foreign ministry, which will pass them on to the Indonesian government for reconstruction use.
In a separate donation effort, the Overseas Community Affairs Council said that Taiwanese businesspeople based in Indonesia have started a donation campaign that has collected more than US$80,000 to help earthquake victims.
The magnitude 7.5 earthquake that rocked the city of Palu in central Sulawesi and the 6m-high tsunami that followed left at least 1,558 dead, more than 150 missing and 65,733 buildings damaged as of yesterday morning, the foreign ministry said, citing Indonesian government figures.
The foreign ministry said it was not aware of any Taiwanese being killed or injured in the quake.
Taiwan's representative office in Indonesia has stayed in close contact with the Indonesian government to get a clear picture of the damage caused by the earthquake, and has pledged to respond quickly if the Indonesian government makes any request for assistance, the foreign ministry said.
On Tuesday, the New Taipei Fire Department pledged to send relief supplies and a rescue team to assist Indonesia.

People in Dudley have an abundance of practical skills, creative talent and useful knowledges. They are often overlooked by institutions, systems, programmes and projects which see resources as scarce, focus on what is lacking or put value on a limited array of capitals, skills and knowledges.
Our lab team has different ways of thinking and doing. We have inspired and supported hundreds of people in Dudley to surface and connect latent resources, skills, talents and knowledges. We call people who try things out and get actively involved in hands-on making, creating, sharing and learning doers. The ideas we support them to design and test are usually small social innovations.
Small scale, interconnected social innovations are deeply rooted in place. At the same time they can be very open to global flows of ideas, information, people and resources. The projects and activities we catalyse and support are open to all, often small and increasingly connected.

I don't do DX. If I come across a pile-up I tune on by. Not because I have indoor antennas - many people have worked DXCC with indoor or restricted antennas and/or QRP. But because pile-ups just frustrate me and raise my blood pressure, and that's not what I need from a hobby.
Normally I don't come across pile-ups very often because they usually happen away from the QRP frequencies. But in the last few days while I've been trying out the HB-1A I have been listening around the two 30m QRP frequencies of 10.106MHz and 10.116MHz and the usually quiet frequency has suddenly been disturbed by a bunch of people sending their call over and over again. A pile-up, presumably.
I listened, to try to hear who they were calling, and suddenly someone started sending a stream of dits on the frequency for a minute or so. I was prepared to think that someone had pushed something against their paddle accidentally, but any doubts were removed when it happened again, and again.
In his most recent blog posting Ed, N4EMG writes about the same sort of thing, and questions whether a new operating technique has developed where people who fail to work the DX decide to destroy anyone else's chances of working it as well. From what I heard, I think it's quite likely.
I can understand the frustration when you spend half an hour calling some DX without success. Do you carry on and hope your moment will come, or give up and live with the feeling that you've wasted half an hour of your life for nothing? Which is why I steer clear of pileups.
If you can't crack pile-ups leave that activity for those with the patience, the power and the antennas. There are far more interesting and rewarding things you can do with a radio than ticking off countries on a list, anyway.
I thoroughly enjoy 'trying' to work DX, even with the nonsense that I described. It's one of the aspects of the hobby that a lot of people are drawn to long-term. Nevertheless, it IS frustrating when someone decides to act in such a childish manner and gets their kicks from ruining everyone's chances. The real problem is that nothing can be done to prevent things like that from happening.
I couldn't agree more with the sentiments posted here. What baffles me, is that a lot of this is happening on with CW operations, I'd have thought that a pukka operator who went to the trouble of being proficient in Morse code would have more sense! In the same breath, it is similar to the occasional DX pirates, who pirate a call and operate in CW. Why bother? What on earth do you gain from this.
Talking about bad behaviour in a pileup, I heard on a recent side band pileup someone sending a stream of dits exactly like you monitored Julian.
It is also like these chaps who insist on tuning up on top of a QSO. This happend to me a number of times. I was working a DX station, just to have some rude OM tune up. What is the game? The just delay proceedings, as we have to repeat information again.
Life is too short for carp fishing!
I think that perhaps things like that would not happen if the idea of DX spotting clusters had been killed at birth. Without them, you'd need skill just to find the DX in the first place. With them, one spot and every idiot with a computer is bang on the frequency including many without enough of a clue to engage split before pressing transmit.
I don't want to appear hypocritical so I must say that I find the DX Cluster useful on VHF when openings are fleeting and there is less activity, and they collect useful information for propagation monitoring which is one of my interests. But I think they are largely to blame for the problems on HF.
I rarely listen to a large swarms of bee's for the same reason. I can seldom hear the transmitting station of a big DX contester because of loose filtering in my rig. (I don't have any).
But I DO have a collection of "fox" pelts in the backroom. I enjoy those very much when I have the time to chase a QRP signal.
Don't know if there's a big difference between DX'ers and fox hunters but I actually enjoy catching a QRP fox. I think it's great fun.
Maybe it's the QRP aspect? It's a little more realistic when the sought after station is only running 5 watts.
The playing field is a little different.
I believe that you raise a terrific point, Julian. There's no question that the DX Clusters are beneficial - most of the time. They're abused, certainly, but there's good information to be found. I believe what has happened, however, is that there's an abundance of operators who no longer tune their radios. They simply click from one spot to another. If they took the time to tune, they'd often discover some unspotted DX near the pileup. Of course, in today's world, that doesn't last long, someone will spot them quickly. I would even be willing to pay a small fee to access a moderated cluster, one that's free of snide comments and useless posts about QSL cards not received and comments like "please jump to 80 meters for my 9BDXCC".
Well said Julian, I will join you on your soapbox!
Having come back to amateur radio a couple of years ago after a sabbatical approximating one sunspot-cycle in duration, one of the big differences I noticed between "then" and "now" was how the CW activity in the bands has changed in character.
The conclusion I have reached is that by and large the erstwhile CW "rubber stampers" have migrated to PSK, where they continue to "rubber stamp" using macros leaving the CW portion of the band largely vacant save for the frequency 10kHz plus or minus of some DX station (often a DX-pedition) where all that appears to happen is the cacophany of stations repeatedly and endlessly sending their own callsign, often interspersed with some comment like "LID" or "IDIOT" or "QSY" or those machine-gun like dits you mention.
Like you I tut-tut to myself or mutter dark and occasionally "Anglo Saxon" incantations casting aspersions on the ancestry of the perpetrators of the phenomenon and tune on by.
DX clusters appear to be the main root cause of this behaviour.
Also like you I think there is rather more to amateur radio than ticking off countries on a list, and why the Dickens are so many people so "sniffy" about E-QSL?
Eleven years ago I got so fed up with amateur radio I went and did something else for a while!
I think I've spotted your call on PSK Reporter so hopefully you haven't given up on digimodes altogether. I don't blame European digimode operators from only making rubber stamp contacts with me given my inability to converse with them in French, German, Italian or Russian, etc.


We are unable to ship this product to Washington State.
Silybum marianum grows as an annual or biennial from three to seven feet in height, has smooth, shiny, lettuce-like leaves with white veins and spines along the margins, and a solitary purple flower that can grow up to two and a half inches in diameter. It is native to the Mediterranean region and southwestern Europe and has been widely cultivated for hundreds of years. In the U.S, it is considered a noxious weed in several states, particularly in the Pacific Northwest in states such as Washington. It is a member of the vast sunflower or Asteraceae family, which encompasses a wide variety of well-known plants such as lettuce (Lactuca sativa), the common daisy (Bellis perennis), the blessed thistle (Cnicus benedictus), and artichoke (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus), to name a few. Many of the common names, and the outdated Latin name, refer to the belief that the milk of the Virgin Mary dropped on the plant leaving behind the milky white 'marbling' that give the leaves their very distinctive coloration.
Harvest seeds by cutting off flower heads at the end of the growing season, often May-July, when white cottony fibers (pappus) appear. Dry flower heads in a warm, sunny place for around a week. Put in a burlap bag and tumble the bag around. Then chop the flower heads to remove seeds, and winnow in the open air.
Nicholas Culpepper, the 17th century botanist, avid astrologer, physician, herbalist, and author of the Complete Herbal (1653 CE), also concluded that both milk thistle and blessed thistle shared similar qualities. Culpepper, alongside many other herbalists of the time, also recommended boiling the young, tender plant as it had virtue as a spring tonic or alterative. During those times it was often eaten like boiled cabbage (after removing the spines, of course). The flowerheads, similar and related to the artichoke, were eaten as well. All parts of the milk thistle plant were utilized, including the root. Eventually, milk thistle seeds were incorporated into the Ecletics practice (physicians who practiced a branch of American medicine popular in the 1800-early 1900's which made use of botanical remedies) as a remedy for "congestion of the liver, spleen, and kidneys. "
Specific: Processed in a facility that produces wheat. Wheat kernels may be occasionally present. Milk thistle may cause an allergic reaction in people who are sensitive to the Asteraceae (Ragweed) plant family.


The exhibition traces the journey of Ruth Maier (1920-1942), a young diarist who perished in the Holocaust. It is jointly presented by the Austrian Embassy and the Royal Norwegian Embassy and will be on view from April 5 through July 5, 2019, in the Atrium of the Austrian Embassy in Washington, D.C.
Through photographs and diary extracts, this exhibition tells the story of the Jewish girl Ruth Maier, born in Vienna in 1920. Ruth began keeping a diary when she turned thirteen. She recorded her everyday life and the increasing persecution of Jews in Austria following the Anschluss in 1938. After witnessing the violent antisemitism of the Kristallnacht Pogrom, Ruth found refuge in Norway while the rest of her family escaped to Great Britain. She completed her education and continued to write in her newly acquired language, Norwegian. However, her newfound safety did not last: In 1942, Ruth was arrested and deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where she was murdered on arrival.
Her friend, the Norwegian poet Gunvor Hofmo preserved her writings. Since 2014, the diaries of Ruth Maier have been part of the UNESCO Memory of the World Register, secured at the Norwegian Centre for Holocaust and Minority Studies.
The story of Ruth Maier is a reminder of the immeasurable loss to the world by the unrealized potential of the six million Jews murdered by the Nazi regime and its collaborators during the Holocaust.
The exhibition titled "Lives Cut Short – Seeking Refuge During the Holocaust: The Fate of Ruth Maier" was created through international scholarly cooperation between the Documentation Centre of Austrian Resistance, Vienna and the Norwegian Center for Holocaust and Minority Studies, Oslo.


A Waterville doctor was cleared of a medical malpractice allegation Thursday after six-day trial in Kennebec County Superior Court.
AUGUSTA — Dr. Karen Bossie, of Waterville Women's Care, was cleared of a medical malpractice allegation Thursday after six-day trial in Kennebec County Superior Court.
Danielle Wentworth, of Benton, had filed a civil lawsuit against Bossie on behalf of her daughter, who was born five years ago at MaineGeneral Medical Center.
Wentworth's attorney, Celine Boyle, argued to jurors Friday that Bossie had used too much traction in the delivery, which resulted in the girl suffering an injury to the network of nerves that control one arm.
Christopher Nyhan, Bossie's attorney, told jurors that Bossie acted properly to deliver the baby during an obstetrical emergency. He said Bossie had performed 1,500 deliveries by that time in her career.
"She knew what she was doing," Nyhan said.
The 8-0 verdict that cleared Bossie of negligence was in line with the result of a three-member medical malpractice screening panel, which also unanimously cleared Bossie.

This volume presents a detailed description and analysis of the structure and layout of the Southeast Gate of New Halos, a Hellenistic city in Thessaly (Greece). The gate was excavated in the period 1995-2006. An impressive enceinte, 4.7 km long and fortified with at least 120 towers, surrounded the lower and upper town of Halos. Excavation of a series of houses in the lower town revealed that the city, probably founded in 302 BC by Demetrios Poliorketes, was abandoned after an earthquake around 265 BC. The Southeast Gate, flanked by two towers, gave accessto the city from the south. Numerous artefacts show that after the earthquake the gate complex was used as a large farmstead where agricultural produce was processed and stored. Today, the walls of this well-preserved courtyard gate still stand two to five metres above the bedrock.

SDG&E signs 20-year PPA for 156 MW of wind energy in Mexico
Both SDG&E and Sempra Generation are subsidiaries of Sempra Energy. SDG&E selected Energía Sierra Juarez as part of the utility's 2009 competitive solicitation for renewable resources. The wind turbines project was compared to other competitive bids, and the process was overseen by an independent evaluator, as required by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). The contract is subject to approval by the CPUC and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
Construction on wind farm Energía Sierra Juarez 1, located about 70 miles east of San Diego and just south of the US-Mexico border, is expected to begin in 2012. When completed in 2013, the wind turbines facility will be capable of producing enough clean electricity to power about 65,000 average homes.
"This wind energy project will provide a significant amount of renewable wind power to SDG&E customers in the San Diego area and is an example of the types of renewable resources that have been identified in this region," said Matt Burkhart, vice president of electric and fuel procurement for SDG&E. "This contract not only reaffirms our commitment to add regional renewable energy to our portfolio, it gets SDG&E another step closer to reaching the state's renewable energy goals."
Energia Sierra Juarez will connect to the existing California electric grid at SDG&E's proposed ECO substation in eastern San Diego County via a new cross-border transmission tie-line.
Last week, SDG&E announced separate renewable energy contracts for a combined total of 80 MW of solar energy in San Diego County. Including those agreements and this latest contract with Sempra Generation, the utility has signed a total of 12 new contracts in the past 12 months, adding to its resource mix more than 1,000 MW of clean, renewable energy to be generated in Southern California.
Energia Sierra Juarez has been under development by Sempra Generation since 2007 and could produce up to 1,200 MW of wind power at full build-out.
"With this contract, we can begin to unlock one of the largest remaining wind resources on the west coast and support California's efforts to increase the use of alternative sources of energy," said Jeffrey W. Martin, president and chief executive officer of Sempra Generation. "We are excited by the opportunity to generate this new source of renewable power for homes and businesses in the San Diego region. Sempra Generation's employees live and work here, so we look forward to doing our part to create a cleaner and more sustainable energy future for our community."
Sempra Generation also announced that it reached preliminary agreement last year on the framework for the sale of a 50-percent partnership interest in Energia Sierra Juarez to BP Wind Energy. The companies now are working on a joint development agreement for the wind project.
Sempra Generation and BP Wind Energy have existing joint-venture partnerships for two wind farms in the U.S., including the 200-MW Fowler Ridge II wind farm in Benton County, Ind., which went into commercial operation in 2009, and the Cedar Creek II wind farm, a 250-MW installation located northeast of Fort Collins, Colo., which is expected to be in commercial operation by mid-2011.

'Almost all EU states could follow UK, leave union' – French MP
© Yannis Behrakis © Reuters
Nearly every EU state could follow in the footsteps of the UK and vote to leave the bloc, French Member of Parliament responsible for European affairs in President Francois Hollande's party, Philip Cordery, has said.
Cordery was speaking at a Fabian Society fringe event at the UK Labour Party Annual Conference in Liverpool.
"I think what happened in the UK at the referendum could have happened [in] almost every other country in the European Union – except in the other countries no Prime Minister would have been as irresponsible as to ask for a referendum," Cordery, who is half English, said, as quoted by The Independent.
Thousands of UK-based finance firms may lose EU 'passport' rights
"If we look today, euroscepticism is growing everywhere, populist movements are growing everywhere in Europe," he added.
Cordery also said that there is a widespread perception in Europe that the bloc is moving in the wrong direction.
"We've suffered from 10 years of tough austerity policies at the European level and people don't see the EU as progress in terms of jobs, in terms of the economy, in terms of social progress."
Philip Cordery used to serve as the general secretary of the Party of European Socialists, a group whose aim is enhancing mutual cooperation within the EU.
The British people voted to leave the EU during a referendum in June, and the process of Brexit is very complex: as of now, neither a timetable nor the terms for it have been set up.
Over the past 18 months, Europe has been engulfed by a migrant crisis, with a record 1.3 million asylum seekers registered in the EU in 2015, with almost 30 percent of them from Syria, according to estimates compiled by Eurostat in March.
Following the Brexit, many (mainly far-right) European leaders said they could hold their own referendums.
In June, French politician Marine le Pen called for a 'Frexit' vote, while a similar mood was apparent in The Netherlands: Geert Wilders, leader of the Dutch right-wing, populist PVV party, currently topping opinion polls, openly expressed hopes a 'Nexit' could follow a 'Brexit.' In the Czech Republic, Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka said in February that "if Britain leaves the EU, we can expect debates about leaving the EU in a few years too."
At the end of June, a survey showed that 40 percent of Austrians want their own referendum on EU membership. In March, a poll in France showed that 53 percent of the country's citizens wanted to hold a vote. In May, a poll conducted in Germany indicated that 29 percent of Germans were in favor of leaving the bloc.

Q: How to +1 to the digit if the first decimal is greater than or equal to 5? My goal is to add the value in front of my decimal place when the first decimal places is more than or equal to 5.
For example:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    float num = 0.5222f;

    cout << (int)num << endl;

    cin.get();
    return 0;
}

My intended result is 1 instead of 0. How should I modify the code to get the expected result?

A: If you want to round this value to the nearest integer, you could just add 0.5 before casting it to int:
float num = 0.5222f;
cout << (int)(num + 0.5);

or alternatively you might use one of the following functions from the <cmath> header:
double      round  (double x);
float       roundf (float x);
long double roundl (long double x);

A: In C++11 we now have std::round, so this would work fine:
std::cout << std::round(num) << std::endl;

would also need to include <cmath>. The non-C++11 method using floor:
std::cout << floor(num + 0.5) << std::endl;

A: If you cast a float to an int it rounds towards zero, dropping the fractional portion of the number.
What you want to do is call roundf first. (round for double, roundf for float)
cout << (int)roundf(num) << endl;

A: I just add:
float num = 0.5222f;
cout << std::floor(num + 0.5);

In this way you can even decide to round up also if (say) first digit is > 3
float num = 0.3222f;
cout << std::floor(num + 0.7);

Don't know how much useful, but.... you can!

A: Try the ceil function.
It rounds up numbers of 0.5 to a whole decimal number by 1.
