Karnei Shomron (, lit. "Rays (of light) of Samaria") is an Israeli settlement organized as a local council established in 1977 in the West Bank, east of Kfar Saba. Karnei Shomron is located  northeast of Tel Aviv and  north of Jerusalem. In  it had a population of .

The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.

History
According to ARIJ, Israel confiscated land from four nearby Palestinian villages of in order to construct Karnei Shomron:

713 dunams from Jinsafut,
512 dunams from Deir Istiya,
 229 dunams from Kafr Laqif,
216 dunams from Hajjah.

In 1991, several Israeli settlements were merged to become a single municipality called Karnei Shomron Local Council:
Karnei Shomron - established in 1977,  450 families
Ginot Shomron - established in 1984,  850 families
Neve Menachem/Neve Oramin  - established in 1991,  220 families
Alonei Shilo - established in 1999,   25 families

The town borders Wadi Qana, a wadi marking the border between lands that are believed to have been the territory of the tribes of Efraim and Menashe in biblical times. The Nahal Kana Wadi is administered by the Israel Nature and Parks Authority and is defined as a Nature Reserve.

Mitzpe Tzvaim; Midreshet Shilat, a midrasha for girls; and Ramat Gil'ad are also part of Karnei Shomron. Neve Aliza is a religious neighborhood of American-style homes founded by new immigrants from the United States and Canada in 1985.

The chief rabbi of Karnei Shomron is Yitzhak HaLevy. Igal Lahav is the head of the Karnei Shomron Local Council.

During the second intifada, on 16 February 2002, two people were killed and 30 people were wounded, six seriously, when a suicide bomber blew himself up at a pizzeria in the Karnei Shomron (located in Ginot Shomron) shopping mall. Rachel Thaler, 16 died of her wounds on 27 February. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine claimed responsibility for the attack.

The Archibald trustees have assembled a credible exhibition, putting past horrors behind them.
It's appropriate the Archibald Prize should coincide with Easter, because the Trustees of the Art Gallery of NSW have repented of their sins of last year and asked to be forgiven. Not in so many words, of course. They have simply chosen a better, more credible exhibition and tried to put the horrors of 2010 behind them. I can't pretend that this year's Archibald, Wynne and Sulman Prizes are stunning triumphs but any effort to arrest the inexorable decline should be applauded. Let us give thanks for small mercies.
Some years there is an entry that ticks so many boxes it seems a sure winner. The only obstacle is that the trustees, being human, must feel reluctant to adopt the obvious course. So although I suggested in a preview that there was no obvious winner this year, on reflection I have to come clean and say Ben Quilty's portrait of Margaret Olley is so tailored for success its claims can only be ignored if the judges are determined to appear unpredictable.
I'm writing this a week in advance of the announcement, so by now you already know the winner. Right or wrong, let me explain why Quilty's picture deserves to be favourite. Frivolously, one might begin by noting that the prize went to a figure last year, so it's more likely to go to a big head this time around. More importantly, it has been 63 years since William Dobell won the Archibald with his iconic portrait of Margaret Olley and over those decades the sitter has become an Australian icon in her own right. It would be appropriate if Olley were the first person to feature in two winning portraits.
The Archibald prize finalists 2011 – Hugo at home 2011, by Nicholas Harding.
Add to this the fact that Ben Quilty fits the young, fashionable template the trustees have preferred in recent years and has come close to victory on at least two previous occasions. The weakness of the picture is that one can tell it is largely based on a photograph, although this has not worried the judges unduly in the past. Its chief strength is that Quilty has captured a very distinctive likeness that does not flatter the subject but neither does it emphasise the signs of age. Much of the face is left unpainted, with features and blemishes added in a rapid, spontaneous manner. The background is made up of thick swathes of paint. The entire work has a blend of energy and delicacy that is as characteristic of the sitter as it is of the artist.
One painting that bears comparison with the Quilty, and may merit the attention of the trustees, is Angus McDonald's portrait of another great patron of the arts, Ann Lewis AO. An oppressively dark and sombre picture, it captures the resilient spirit Lewis has shown in her battles with ill health. She is standing in the darkness looking out into the light, not vice versa. The work has a gravitas that transcends everything else in this year's competition.
From here it is a toss-up as to how the trustees might go. Unlike their predecessors, who were happy to present the first four Archibalds to W.B. McInnes or give it to William Dargie no fewer than eight times, today's trustees have shown themselves reluctant to award the prize to a previous winner. If so, that would rule out the claims of Del Kathryn Barton, Geoff Dyer, Nicholas Harding, Craig Ruddy, Lewis Miller and Adam Cullen.
Dyer is the pick of this group, with a portrait of David Walsh, the man behind Tasmania's Museum of Old and New – an institution that currently enjoys a higher international profile than the AGNSW. Walsh stands in a neutral grey space, flanked by sides of beef that seem to bleed off the canvas. Dyer has allowed Walsh's T-shirt and jacket to do the same, giving the picture a strange diminuendo. It's sheer coincidence that Vincent Fantauzzo's portrait of chef Matt Moran, which won this year's Packers' Prize, also frames its subject with slabs of meat. The difference is that Walsh holds his own in this meaty setting, while Moran seems to play a supporting role.
There has been some talk about Del Barton's Mother (a portrait of Cate) but this ode to motherhood, which manages to be both unnaturally rigid and psychedelic, is probably too similar to the artist's winning entry of 2008, in which she painted herself and her children. It's an eye-catching work, but more of a symbolic representation than a portrait. It doesn't look much like Cate Blanchett but presumably Raphael's Madonnas didn't resemble the historical Mary. It's worth noting that while Geoff Dyer's portrait of David Walsh is better than his Archibald Prize winner of 2003, Barton's 2008 painting was more convincing than her current entry.
Another name that has been bandied about this year is Alexander McKenzie, for a portrait of actor Richard Roxburgh astride a red bicycle. Barton hardly aims at getting a likeness but McKenzie has captured his subject with great precision. The problem is that Roxburgh has been planted in a typical McKenzie landscape – looking like the painting Caspar David Friedrich forgot. It has a decidedly arbitrary feel, as if the artist was too eager to assert his own trademark.
The picture makes a striking contrast with Matt Doust's White Cocoon, which focuses on the unlined, mask-like face of Gemma Ward. This is arguably a much more effective way of portraying an actor – as a tabula rasa upon which a character is constructed. We tend to know actors through the roles they play rather than their off-screen personas, while the pressures and dangers of celebrity ensure that even in their daily lives they are still acting. Nick Harding tries to thwart this idea with his low-key portrait of Hugo Weaving "at home", but with lacklustre results.
As usual, this year's show includes a strong selection of works by Chinese é´migré´ artists. Adam Chang probably leads the charge with a huge portrait of novelist J.M. Coetzee that has been weirdly hung high on the wall of the main gallery. The picture is big enough to withstand this treatment but no artist enjoys the sensation of being "skied". Shen Jiawei's Self-portrait as Quong Tart's contemporary (after John Thompson), is immaculately painted and filled with the historical and humorous references that one expects from an artist whose pictures unfold like a story book.
Apple Xiu Yin's portrait of Cheryl Barker is her best Archibald effort to date, while Song Ling and Zhong Chen have both contributed images with a large element of self-parody.
Kate Beynon's self-portrait is a very simple, likeable picture but her style is really a kind of graphic illustration that reveals its limitations when put against more painterly entries.
If there were an award for going over-the-top, Rodney Pople would have the field to himself. Artist and family (after Caravaggio) shows Rodney as Holofernes being beheaded by Judith, played by his wife, Felicity. The blank expressions on the faces of wife and kids say: "He had it coming." Art historians inclined to a psychoanalytic approach interpret beheadings as signs of castration anxiety. On the other hand, it may be just a gag in dubious taste.
Tim Storrier has produced a less stridently self-mocking image in Moon boy (self-portrait as a young man), but his vision of himself as an empty suit of clothes is also a lament for a youth that has vanished, never to return. There is a similar message in Ken Done's Me, March 2011, in which the artist appears to be looking in the mirror, shocked by the ageing face that confronts him. Jenny Sages meditates on mortality in a very warm and personal portrait of her late husband, Jack, painted at the end of many years of married life. There is no darkness in this picture, rather the glow of approaching evening.
One of the pleasing aspects of this year's show is the absence of pictures that leave one gasping in disbelief. There is the usual smattering of "little gems" – none of them in with a chance this time; a few hyper-realist works that do nothing a photograph can't do more economically; and even the obligatory portrait of art dealer, Ray Hughes.
In all his Archibald appearances, never has Hughes seemed more weather-beaten or more cheerful than in Lucy Culliton's Ray in Paris. The viewer looks first at a bowl of gelato, follows the curve of Ray's tie as it ascends over his ample midriff, arriving at a red face brimming with mischief.
This portrait is certainly good enough to win the prize but it would be a brave group of trustees that allowed Ray Hughes to have the last laugh.


The definition of Plantar Fasciitis is irritation of the ligament running along the bottom of the foot and attaching to the heel. Condition is sometimes worse in the morning upon arising or after inactivity, sometimes disabling, can occur in the front(arch area), back, or bottom of the heel. This pain is generally the result of faulty biomechanics (walking gait abnormalities) that place too much stress on the heel bone and the soft tissues that attach to it. The stress may also result from injury, or a bruise incurred while walking, running, or jumping on hard surfaces; wearing poorly constructed footwear; or being overweight.
What Is Plantar Fasciitis? Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the band of tissue (the plantar fascia) that extends from the heel to the toes. In this condition, the fascia first becomes irritated and then inflamed-resulting in heel pain.
Causes of Plantar Fasciitis The most common cause of plantar fasciitis relates to faulty structure of the foot. For example, people who have problems with their arches-either overly flat feet or high-arched feet-are more prone to developing plantar fasciitis.
Diagnostic imaging studies such as x-rays, a bone scan, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be used to distinguish the different types of heel pain. Sometimes heel spurs are found in patients with plantar fasciitis, but these are rarely a source of pain. When they are present, the condition may be diagnosed as plantar fasciitis/heel spur syndrome.
Treatment Options Treatment of plantar fasciitis begins with first-line strategies, which you can begin at home: Stretching exercises. Exercises that stretch out the calf muscles help ease pain and assist with recovery. Avoid going barefoot. When you walk without shoes, you put undue strain and stress on your plantar fascia. Ice. Putting an ice pack on your heel for 10 minutes several times a day helps reduce inflammation. Limit activities. Cut down on extended physical activities to give your heel a rest. Shoe modifications: Wearing supportive shoes that have good arch support and a slightly raised heel reduces stress on the plantar fascia. Your shoes should provide a comfortable environment for the foot. Medications: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, may help reduce pain and inflammation. Lose weight. Extra pounds put extra stress on your plantar fascia.
Injection therapy. In some cases, corticosteroid injections are used to help reduce the inflammation and relieve pain. Removable walking cast. A removable walking cast may be used to keep your foot immobile for a few weeks to allow it to rest and heal.
Night splint. Wearing a night splint allows you to maintain an extended stretch of the plantar fascia while sleeping. This may help reduce the morning pain experienced by some patients. We carry the best night splint on the market. See below.
Although most patients with plantar fasciitis respond to non-surgical treatment, a small percentage of patients may require surgery. If, after several months of non-surgical treatment, you continue to have heel pain, surgery will be considered. Your podiatric foot and ankle surgeon will discuss the surgical options with you and determine which approach would be most beneficial for you.
Long-term Care No matter what kind of treatment you undergo for plantar fasciitis, the underlying causes that led to this condition may remain. Therefore, you will need to continue with preventive measures. If you are overweight, it is important to reach and maintain an ideal weight. For all patients, wearing supportive shoes and using custom orthotic devices are the mainstay of long-term treatment for plantar fasciitis.

Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.
A podiatrist can evaluate arch and heel pain and may prescribe customized shoe inserts called orthoses to aid in Plantar Fasciitis treatment. Wearing cushioned shoes with an elevated heel may decrease pressure and alleviate some pain. For his patients, Dr. Hurless recommends rest, supportive shoes, ice, and the 3/4 length Powerstep supports. Many of his patients find this as an affordable solution and will purchase several pairs of different shoes. Another very effective product for Plantar Fasciitis that is worn while sleeping is the night splint.

Q: Can I do anything with this LCD? I doubt it Right, so I have ripped the 1.7" (ish) TFT module out of an HP PhotoSmart C4780.  Despite HP's best efforts I can plainly see that it is made by AUO.  No model number on it though.
Now, I have never had anything to do with TFT screens before now, but I want to have a play.
The screen has a single mylar strip connector, and I can see which of the connections break off to the back-light, so that's not a problem.
From what I can see the rest of it doesn't need anything 'special' - the board it normally plugs into is powered by a PIC16F727, so it must be possible for me to interface it to some other PIC instead (I have a selection to hand).
But how do I get started?  I don't even know what connections to expect there to be on the mylar strip, and how to work out what should be where.
I have found some AUO data sheets, but none for a 1.7", only 1.5" and 2" and upwards, though I have identified one possible 1.7" model - A017CN01, but I can't find a data sheet for it anywhere.
Any pointers would be most appreciated.

****Update:****
I think I may have just found a data sheet for this device - I'm still none the wiser though...
I see it has a serial data (SPI-like) interface to it - ideal for PIC usage.  Nothing in the data sheet about how to use it.  Would this interface be likely to be common to all AUO devices?

A: You may (or not) may have found a datasheet. Unless you can find back the ID numbers on the actual device there's no way to tell with absolute certainty. Checking dimensional properties is the first job. If dimensions differ, it may be at best a variant, but also there: no certainty.
If you're confident enough that you have the right datasheet, scrutinize it. This may not be a pleasant task, especially when a datasheet has several hundreds of pages, but here the most interesting parts are easy to spot: the timing diagrams on pages 14 and 15 reveal a lot. Like the VSYNC and HSYNC. They tell you that this isn't a device with its own intelligence and memory, but rather that you have to drive it like a video signal, doing the refreshing yourself.
OTOH, like you said there are also the SDA and SCL connections, which hint at I2C, though the (again) timing diagram page 29 shows that it's more SPI-like (It lacks the I2C starting sequence). The pages following show that the serial interface isn't used for image data, but to program configuration registers.

A: Video data is fed into the screen by drawing with a cursor based on HSYNC and VSYNC signals. These indicate the next row and next column. A 8-bit databus indicates the color data. Because this is 8-bits and colours are usually 16-bit or 24-bit, it means you need to have 2 or 3 periods of DCLK (data color clock) to draw 1 pixel. The datasheet even talks abuot having a dummy value to clear the pixel.
A PIC16F is incapable of doing this. The DCLK needs to be between 16 and 27MHz. At DCLK @ 23040kHz (23.04MHz) you can get a refresh rate of 50Hz, which is kinda a minimum for display quality. HSYNC and VSYNC are dependant on how the screen is drawn; top-bottom or left-right. It may be that HSYNC is 23.04MHz/4=5.76MHz and VSYNC is 23.04MHz/4/480=12kHz.
In other words, the PIC16F probably connects to some kind of internal bus (may be a UART or something else) so a main controller can easily speak to it. The PIC16F is probably used to configure contrast, backlight values etc.

Measuring Symmetry in Children With Unrepaired Cleft Lip: Defining a Standard for the Three-Dimensional Mid-facial Reference Plane. J Wu, C Heike, C Birgfeld, K Evans, M Maga, C Morrison, B Saltzman, L Shapiro, R Tse.
Date: March 2016 (Online ahead of print)
Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal.
Objective: Quantitative measures of facial form to evaluate treatment outcomes for cleft lip (CL) are currently limited. Computer-based analysis of three-dimensional (3D) images provides an opportunity for efficient and objective analysis. The purpose of this study was to define a computer-based standard of identifying the 3D mid-facial reference plane of the face in children with unrepaired cleft lip for measurement of facial symmetry.
Participants: The 3D images of 50 subjects (35 with unilateral CL, 10 with bilateral CL, five controls) were included in this study.
Interventions: Five methods of defining a mid-facial plane were applied to each image, including two human-based (Direct Placement, Manual Landmark) and three computer-based (Mirror, Deformation, Learning) methods.
Main Outcome Measure: Six blinded raters (threes cleft surgeons, two craniofacial pediatricians, and one craniofacial researcher) independently ranked and rated the accuracy of the defined planes.
Results: Among computer-based methods, the Deformation method performed significantly better than the others. Although human-based methods performed best, there was no significant difference compared with the Deformation method. The average correlation coefficient among raters was .4; however, it was .7 and .9 when the angular difference between planes was greater than 6° and 8°, respectively.
Conclusions: Raters can agree on the 3D mid-facial reference plane in children with unrepaired CL using digital surface mesh. The Deformation method performed best among computer-based methods evaluated and can be considered a useful tool to carry out automated measurements of facial symmetry in children with unrepaired cleft lip.

It is time to look at your smartphone, not to check any message or email but how old it is. According to media reports, popular messaging app WhatsApp will stop working on millions of smartphones by the end of 2016 unless they are upgraded.
WhatsApp, with more than one billion monthly users, was phasing out compatibility with older phones in a technology upgrade, UK newspaper The Mirror reported on Saturday.
The company has stated that several older services would be discontinued in 2017.
"For iPhone users, WhatsApp will stop working on any iPhone 3GS and will also cease to be supported on any device running iOS 6," Manchester Evening News reported.
WhatsApp will stop working on Windows 7 running devices, and if you are still using Windows 7, you need to update the device as soon as possible to use the service.


China today called on wealthy nations to dramatically increase the rate at which they plan to cut their carbon emissions at international climate negotiations in Tianjin.
The more forthright rhetoric from the hosts broaches a crucial topic that has been notable mainly by its absence at the talks, which began yesterday.
"The emissions reductions goals of developed countries should be dramatically increased," said China's chief negotiator, Su Wei. "We can't discuss other elements and not discuss emissions reductions. It's unavoidable."
Many delegates at this week's working-level negotiations would prefer to leave to a later date this divisive - but fundamental - issue.
Following the disappointment of the Copenhagen climate talks last December, the UN's climate chief, Christiana Figueres, has called on participants this week to focus on achievable goals.
The most likely progress is in the least contentious areas - forestry, finance and technology. If countries can narrow their differences on these issues, they may be able to sign a limited agreement at higher-level talks in Cancún later in the year.
This "balanced package" - as it is vaguely referred to - would include the commitments that countries made last year to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but critics warn that such a deal can only serve as a band-aid.
"One of the main things here is management of expectations. They are dangerously low," said Li Yan of Greenpeace. "If countries settle for low ambitions, it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy in Cancún."
Scientists and environmental groups warn that existing pledges are far from sufficient to reach the Copenhagen accord goal of keeping global warming within 2C by 2050.
Small island states, which are most at risk from rising sea levels, want to push quickly for a higher target, but in the interests of compromise, they announced in Tianjin that they would be willing to wait until Cancún - or even next year's meeting in South Africa - to secure an agreement.
But patience is limited. China - keen to show leadership among developing nations - said rich countries had to make deeper cuts. "We believe it is a positive thing that they have put forward these targets, but they are certainly still far from the expectations of developing countries and the requirements of science," said Su.
Europe, in turn, wants China to make a bolder long-term commitment about when its own emissions will peak. Jiang Kejun, director of China's leading climate thinktank, the Energy Research Institute, said it would have to come in 2025 if China is to do its share of work in keeping the global temperature rise within two degrees. "That will be technically very difficult for China," he said. "We may have to buy carbon credits." The government has yet to set a peak date.
Jiang, who is relatively optimistic among Chinese advisers, estimates that China's coal production may peak in 2015 at 3.4bn tonnes. But carbon may continue to rise due to gas and oil use. His institute is working on a new study looking at how China might reach the 2025 goal.
"The ball is now in the US court because China is already moving forward with aggressive measures to implement the targets they announced earlier as well as studying more aggressive scenarious," said Barbara Finamore, head of the China programme of the US-based Natural Resources Defense Council. "While China acts, the US is still debating. It's time to move forward."
China's emphasis on carbon reduction targets may be strategic. Any emphasis on emission reductions puts the onus on the United States, which has the world's greatest historic responsibility for greenhouse gases and one of the lowest targets for abating them. US delegates, by contrast, tend to press the issue of transparency, which puts China on the defensive.


The basic elements of every pet enclosure are the sturdy wire mesh walls. They provide the safety you are looking for. But there's a lot more to it. Our outdoor enclosures are not just a cage, but a cat or dog play pen, an extra room with walkways on various levels for your pet to explore, with resting areas, toys, and the various accessories that make this a space that's fun to be in.
Doors: Typically, your pet enclosure is connected to the house in some way, either directly through a pet door installed in a wall or door, or via a tunnel from a pet door to the enclosure. There are commercially available pet door inserts for sliding doors and windows to give your pet access to the outside. Depending on the circumstances we can also insert a pet door into your window screen or into 1/4" acrylic to be inserted into your window screen opening.
Tunnels, Stairs, Bridges: Our construction is only limited by your imagination. We can design an outdoor experience for your pet with tunnels to roam your back yard, bridges to connect different smaller enclosures, stairs to move from one level to another.
Awnings: To protect your pet from the sun or the rain, we can install an awning over the wire mesh roof. If you prefer fabric, we use a marine grade fabric typically used for sail covers and awnings to protect your pet from the elements. Alternatively, we use polycarbonate or metal roofing materials.
Cushions: We custom-make cushions for your pet to snooze on made from the same water-resistant material as the awning (with a soft comfy filling).


The last Men's Breakfast of the season was held in the Peter Good Hall on Saturday 23 March with 29 present. Having opened with prayer John Buchanan introduced Dean Houston as someone whom he had first met at a Public Service Training event 25 years ago. John recalled that at that event he had been challenged to name someone who had been a major influence in his life. He responded "Jesus" and can still recall the put-down he received from the course leader.
Deane began by sharing that he has Omagh roots. In 1906 his grandfather King Houston from Seskinore, married Edith Alcorn from Lough Muck, in Omagh Methodist Church. Deane then went on to share details of his professional career working almost three decades with visually impaired. Following this he was the Pastoral Associate at Glenabbey Church at Glengormley – a non-denominational church. Deane also explained how he discovered, having attended a tent mission in Co Fermanagh in July 1982, that God offers us the gift of eternal life rescuing him from his sins. Since 2015, Deane along with his wife Helen, have been providing a place of rest, refreshment and refocusing for missionaries / pastors.

Hypostatic Union
A theological term used with reference to the Incarnation to express the revealed truth that in Christ one person subsists in two natures, the Divine and the human. Hypostasis means, literally, that which lies beneath as basis or foundation. Hence it came to be used by the Greek philosophers to denote reality as distinguished from appearances (Aristotle, "Mund.", IV, 21). It occurs also in St. Paul's Epistles (2 Corinthians 9:4; 11:17; Hebrews 1:3-3:14), but not in the sense of person. Previous to the Council of Nicæa (325) hypostasis was synonymous with ousia, and even St. Augustine (On the Holy Trinity V.8) avers that he sees no difference between them. The distinction in fact was brought about gradually in the course of the controversies to which the Christological heresies gave rise, and was definitively established by the Council of Chalcedon (451), which declared that in Christ the two natures, each retaining its own properties, are united in one subsistence and one person (eis en prosopon kai mian hpostasin) (Denzinger, ed. Bannwart, 148). They are not joined in a moral or accidental union (Nestorius), nor commingled (Eutyches), and nevertheless they are substantially united. For further explanation and bibliography see: INCARNATION; JESUS CHRIST; MONOPHYSITISM; NATURE; PERSON.
