1969 World Champion New York Mets Signed Poster
The Yankees may have 25 more World Series trophies than their crosstown rivals in Queens, but the Mets arguably have the most memorable of them all, having shocked the world in 1969. Not only did they experience their first-ever winning season, but they sprinting away from the pack late in the year en route to 100 wins, then swept Atlanta in the first-ever NLCS before polishing off a miraculous five-game triumph over the heavily-favored Baltimore Orioles for the crown. This gorgeous, substantial framed poster features 28 signatures from the first expansion team ever to win the Fall Classic, all painstakingly accumulated by a collector. Each name was autographed in blue Sharpie and rates a perfect 10/10. Among the names are Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver, Yogi Berra, Ed Kranepool, Tommie Agee, Donn Clendenon and Tug McGraw. It measures 43" x 33". Simply amazin'!

An Open Trial of Reboxetine in HIV-Seropositive Outpatients With Major Depressive Disorder
Adriana S. Carvalhal, MD; Paulo Belmonte de Abreu, MD, PhD; Alessandra Spode, MD; Joel Correa, and Flavio Kapczinski, MD, PhD
Background: The prevalence of major depressive disorder (MDD) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-seropositive patients is higher than in the general population. The treatment of comorbidities of HIV infection, such as depression, is an important target in the clinical management of these patients. The use of antidepressants in HIV patients can be complicated by the pharmacokinetic interaction between antidepressants and antiretroviral agents. Several antidepressants and antiretrovirals are metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP450). Reboxetine is a noradrenergic antidepressant that is not metabolized by CYP450 and may offer a valuable option in the treatment of MDD in HIV-seropositive patients.
Method: Twenty HIV-infected outpatients with MDD according to DSM-IV criteria were treated with reboxetine, 8 mg/day, for 12 weeks within an open trial design. Outcome measures included the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) and a side effect profile. Data were gathered from July 2000 to March 2001.
Results: Seventy-five percent of patients (N = 15) completed the trial. All patients who completed the trial had an improvement equal to or higher than a 50% reduction in their MADRS scores at endpoint. The most frequent adverse effects were insomnia, sweating, and shivering.
Conclusion: Within this open trial, reboxetine was found to be effective in reducing depressive symptoms in HIV illness. The rate of dropout (25%) suggests that reboxetine may be well tolerated in this population.

March 16 (UPI) -- Residents of a Massachusetts retirement home knitted sweaters for the chilly chickens living on a nearby estate -- and their owners say egg production is up.
Organizer Nancy Kearns said she and her knitting group at the Fuller Village retirement home in Milton found a chicken sweater pattern on Pinterest and used it to knit garments for some of the chickens and roosters living at the nearby Mary M.B. Wakefield Charitable Trust, where Kearns' friend, Erica Max, is program director.
Max originally asked the ladies to knit a sweater for rooster Prince Peep, whose species is native to warmer climates, but the first sweater came out too big for the small rooster, so they gave it to a chicken who had started molting.
The knitting group soon had sweaters ready for multiple chickens, and Max said the garments have caused egg production to increase.

MassDEP gives approval to Stop & Shop waste-to-energy project
Michael Gagne Herald News Staff Reporter Jeffrey D. Wagner Correspondent
FREETOWN — The area's largest grocery chain is set to harvest renewable energy from food waste that would power and heat its distribution center.
With approvals obtained from both the Planning Board and, on Thursday, the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, Stop & Shop is set to build a 12,000-square-foot Product Recovery Operation at its distribution facility at 136 S. Main St.
The proposed PRO would enable Stop & Shop to recover the economic value in unsold food products by using anaerobic digestion to produce electricity and heat for the facility. The process would also generate a fertilizer byproduct.
In a statement, MassDEP Commissioner Kenneth Kimmell called the project cutting-edge and forward-looking, adding that it's "a good model for other institutions seeking to find productive uses for their organic materials."
"The creation of renewable energy from organics is an exciting growth industry within the commonwealth," Kimmell said.
Stop & Shop currently diverts its unsold food off-site to composting and animal-feed facilities.
MassDEP reviewed the proposal and issued approval for two permits: a recycling, composting and conversion permit and an air-quality plan approval for the facility's bio-gas generator.
The town's Planning Board and Conservation Commission have both unanimously signed off on the proposal.
Stop & Shop spokesman Greg O'Brien said the project has now procured all necessary approvals to move forward. He said Stop & Shop will continue to work on the logistics of the PRO and it is on pace toward its goal of opening during the first quarter of 2015.
"We are pleased with the state decision — this is a project in the best interest of the community and town," O'Brien said. "It creates jobs, it generates revenue and it is good for the environment."
According to MassDEP, the proposed operation will have the capacity to produce 1.137 megawatts in electric and heating power each day, roughly 40 percent of the distribution center's on-site electrical power needs.
It's expected to process an average of 95 tons per day of unsold food product and would have enough energy-producing capacity to provide backup power in the event of an outage.
Those unsold food products will come from grocery stores, such as produce, bakery, deli items and products past expiration dates. The PRO will also process rejected food product from the distribution center itself.
The existing Stop & Shop food distribution network will take unsold product from Stop & Shop grocery stores to the distribution center in enclosed trucks returning to the warehouse from grocery delivery trips.
O'Brien, also a spokesman for other state companies, calls it rare for MassDEP to issue a press release on its decisions. He said a written release on the matter illustrates that the state is proud of Stop & Shop's project.
In fact, the state, in a release, noted that MassDEP's goal is to reduce the disposal of organics by 450,000 tons per year by 2020.
"As part of the effort to meet that goal, MassDEP has just finalized regulations requiring institutions that generate one ton or more per week of food disposal to divert those organics to productive uses like the facility proposed by Stop & Shop," DEP spokesman Joe Ferson wrote in a release.
According to MassDEP, food and other organics make up 25 percent of the Commonwealth's solid waste stream. The department's goal is to reduce the disposal of organics by 450,000 tons per year by 2020.

One of my favorite lowfat quick lunches is a sandwich made of: I found these terrific roasted red peppers in a jar in a grocery store I was sauntering through during my travels one day. The brand name is Roland and they say Italian Style Fire Roasted Peppers. The ingredients are peppers, water, salt, ascorbic acid. They have a little bit of blackened skin so they are tastier than the usual jarred ones. I've found other brands that are like these, also, usually at specialty markets or larger groceries.
Of course, you can roast your own, too.

Structures and classes are general-purpose, flexible constructs that become the building blocks of your program's code. You define properties and methods to add functionality to your structures and classes using the same syntax you use to define constants, variables, and functions.
Unlike other programming languages, Swift doesn't require you to create separate interface and implementation files for custom structures and classes. In Swift, you define a structure or class in a single file, and the external interface to that class or structure is automatically made available for other code to use.
For more information, see Properties, Methods, Subscripts, Initialization, Extensions, and Protocols.
For more information, see Inheritance, Type Casting, Deinitialization, and Automatic Reference Counting.
The additional capabilities that classes support come at the cost of increased complexity. As a general guideline, prefer structures because they're easier to reason about, and use classes when they're appropriate or necessary. In practice, this means most of the custom data types you define will be structures and enumerations. For a more detailed comparison, see Choosing Between Structures and Classes.
Whenever you define a new structure or class, you define a new Swift type. Give types UpperCamelCase names (such as SomeStructure and SomeClass here) to match the capitalization of standard Swift types (such as String, Int, and Bool). Give properties and methods lowerCamelCase names (such as frameRate and incrementCount) to differentiate them from type names.
The example above defines a new structure called Resolution, to describe a pixel-based display resolution. This structure has two stored properties called width and height. Stored properties are constants or variables that are bundled up and stored as part of the structure or class. These two properties are inferred to be of type Int by setting them to an initial integer value of 0.
The example above also defines a new class called VideoMode, to describe a specific video mode for video display. This class has four variable stored properties. The first, resolution, is initialized with a new Resolution structure instance, which infers a property type of Resolution. For the other three properties, new VideoMode instances will be initialized with an interlaced setting of false (meaning "noninterlaced video"), a playback frame rate of 0.0, and an optional String value called name. The name property is automatically given a default value of nil, or "no name value", because it's of an optional type.
The Resolution structure definition and the VideoMode class definition only describe what a Resolution or VideoMode will look like. They themselves don't describe a specific resolution or video mode. To do that, you need to create an instance of the structure or class.
Structures and classes both use initializer syntax for new instances. The simplest form of initializer syntax uses the type name of the class or structure followed by empty parentheses, such as Resolution() or VideoMode(). This creates a new instance of the class or structure, with any properties initialized to their default values. Class and structure initialization is described in more detail in Initialization.
In this example, someResolution.width refers to the width property of someResolution, and returns its default initial value of 0.
Unlike structures, class instances don't receive a default memberwise initializer. Initializers are described in more detail in Initialization.
A value type is a type whose value is copied when it's assigned to a variable or constant, or when it's passed to a function.
You've actually been using value types extensively throughout the previous chapters. In fact, all of the basic types in Swift—integers, floating-point numbers, Booleans, strings, arrays and dictionaries—are value types, and are implemented as structures behind the scenes.
All structures and enumerations are value types in Swift. This means that any structure and enumeration instances you create—and any value types they have as properties—are always copied when they are passed around in your code.
Collections defined by the standard library like arrays, dictionaries, and strings use an optimization to reduce the performance cost of copying. Instead of making a copy immediately, these collections share the memory where the elements are stored between the original instance and any copies. If one of the copies of the collection is modified, the elements are copied just before the modification. The behavior you see in your code is always as if a copy took place immediately.
This example declares a constant called hd and sets it to a Resolution instance initialized with the width and height of full HD video (1920 pixels wide by 1080 pixels high).
It then declares a variable called cinema and sets it to the current value of hd. Because Resolution is a structure, a copy of the existing instance is made, and this new copy is assigned to cinema. Even though hd and cinema now have the same width and height, they are two completely different instances behind the scenes.
// Prints "cinema is now 2048 pixels wide"
// Prints "hd is still 1920 pixels wide"
// Prints "The current direction is north"
// Prints "The remembered direction is west"
When rememberedDirection is assigned the value of currentDirection, it's actually set to a copy of that value. Changing the value of currentDirection thereafter doesn't affect the copy of the original value that was stored in rememberedDirection.
Unlike value types, reference types are not copied when they are assigned to a variable or constant, or when they are passed to a function. Rather than a copy, a reference to the same existing instance is used.
This example declares a new constant called tenEighty and sets it to refer to a new instance of the VideoMode class. The video mode is assigned a copy of the HD resolution of 1920 by 1080 from before. It's set to be interlaced, its name is set to "1080i", and its frame rate is set to 25.0 frames per second.
This example also shows how reference types can be harder to reason about. If tenEighty and alsoTenEighty were far apart in your program's code, it could be difficult to find all the ways that the video mode is changed. Wherever you use tenEighty, you also have to think about the code that uses alsoTenEighty, and vice versa. In contrast, value types are easier to reason about because all of the code that interacts with the same value is close together in your source files.
Note that tenEighty and alsoTenEighty are declared as constants, rather than variables. However, you can still change tenEighty.frameRate and alsoTenEighty.frameRate because the values of the tenEighty and alsoTenEighty constants themselves don't actually change. tenEighty and alsoTenEighty themselves don't "store" the VideoMode instance—instead, they both refer to a VideoMode instance behind the scenes. It's the frameRate property of the underlying VideoMode that is changed, not the values of the constant references to that VideoMode.
Note that identical to (represented by three equals signs, or ===) doesn't mean the same thing as equal to (represented by two equals signs, or ==). Identical to means that two constants or variables of class type refer to exactly the same class instance. Equal to means that two instances are considered equal or equivalent in value, for some appropriate meaning of equal, as defined by the type's designer.
When you define your own custom structures and classes, it's your responsibility to decide what qualifies as two instances being equal. The process of defining your own implementations of the == and != operators is described in Equivalence Operators.
If you have experience with C, C++, or Objective-C, you may know that these languages use pointers to refer to addresses in memory. A Swift constant or variable that refers to an instance of some reference type is similar to a pointer in C, but isn't a direct pointer to an address in memory, and doesn't require you to write an asterisk (*) to indicate that you are creating a reference. Instead, these references are defined like any other constant or variable in Swift. The standard library provides pointer and buffer types that you can use if you need to interact with pointers directly—see Manual Memory Management.


Hot summer days are here, and the bite during the middle of the day can be slow. There is a short window of opportunity where there will be low light conditions and cooler temperatures in the early morning and evenings.
Many bass will feed throughout the night. The temperatures are cooler making it easy for them to hunt without expanding too much energy. Plus, bass prefer feeding during low light conditions because it will give them an advantage over their prey.
Bass will feed by sight even when it is dark out. Color is a controversial topic when it comes to night fishing. Do crawdads, bluegill, trout and other creatures change color at night? No, a green crawdad is still green and a rainbow trout is still rainbow. Many colors will catch fish at night. But, dark colors do seem to work best and can be easily found by fish that are feeding by sight.
It takes light to make color. Baits void of color (black) will create a strong silhouette. Light colors will disappear during dark of night and become camouflaged with the surroundings.
Bass will also feed by feel. The dark line that runs down the side of a bass is called the lateral line. Bass will use this line to detect vibration and water displacement. They can feel other fish and creatures as they move through the water.
By far the most fun and exciting way to catch bass at night is on topwater baits. You can hear the explosion of the bass smashing the bait on the surface. For bait selection, try using a lure that is easy to retrieve.
A buzzbait is great for night fishing. It is a chuck and wind bait, and is very audible. You can hear the lure is working properly.
A Whopper Plopper is also a great night fishing topwater bait. It is very similar to the buzz bait but the Plopper can be paused and twitch near structure. This will give the bass more time to locate and eat the bait.
Sometimes the bass won't commit to surface plugs. At this time it is best to target the middle of the water column.
A ½ or ¾ ounce black spinnerbait is a great choice. A spinnerbait can be fished at various depths and there are a handful of different ways to present the bait. A Colorado blade creates more sound and vibration than a willow blade. This thumping rotation of the blade will be detected by the lateral line of the bass and it will travel from a distance to investigate.
Try dragging bulky soft plastic baits if the fish are being a bit sluggish and not wanting to chase, or if they are feeding on bottom dwelling creatures.
The larger profile baits will disperse water and attract nearby fish. It is a good idea to add a small bead to your presentation. The bead will sit between the hook and the weight. Each time they separate and come back together it will create a ticking noise. Once again the sound will help bass locate the bait.
The next few months will be hot. Head to the lake in the evening when it has cooled down and try fishing into the night. Be sure to bring a few extra flashlights.


Most teenagers above the age of 15 have had the "joy" mocks this week, or are doing them next week.
Sadly, I am one of them. I am currently preparing myself for 5 exams next week, and I'm not going to lie, I'm quite worried. All of my teachers at school are pushing everyone to revise every day for hours upon end and push the sheer importance of these exams a lot. Constantly saying that these exams will reflect how you're going to perform at the end of the year and that if you don't do well now, you won't do well later on. -adding to stress levels ever so slightly.
What makes it worse, is that some of my teachers have continued to teach us content (which is not relevant to the mock) rather than letting us revise in lessons, making me feel even less prepared. – more stress!
Now this post may just seem like I'm complaining… I mean I am, but I'm not looking for sympathy at all. Mainly because I know that a lot of people reading this will be in the same boat as me.
For those of you who are feeling like, if you don't pass your mocks, you're going to fail your end of years, meaning you won't be able to carry on studying next year (whether that's GCSES/ A Levels or University), resulting in you as a bin man with no qualifications. STOP WORRYING!
I know that exams are stressful, and at the moment it may seem like what I just said is all true, it's not! A little something I learnt in Psychology this year, is that a lot of people tend to generalise a lot like I just did, (Self, World, Future) and that it's totally unnecessary to think like that because, even if you don't do amazingly now, it's not the end of the world! I promise.
Good luck everyone! You'll be fine.


Juventus host Inter on Friday in a match that pits two of Serie A's biggest names against each other, as Cristiano Ronaldo and Mauro Icardi go head to head.
Icardi was crowned Serie A's player of the year on Monday and Ronaldo will certainly have that title in his sights as he bids to establish himself in Italy following his €112million move from Real Madrid.
But a look at the pair's stats suggest Ronaldo – a five-time Ballon d'Or winner – will have a job on his hands to unseat the league's established star.
There is no questioning that Ronaldo's return of 10 goals in 14 Serie A matches in mightily impressive – Icardi has eight in 11 – but the Inter man is finding the net every 108 minutes compared to Ronaldo's 125.
The 33-year-old has created 25 chances in the league, compared to only 12 from Icardi, providing the assist for five goals to Icardi's two.
With that in mind, Inter will be desperate to close the gap in Turin on Friday. They will be wary of the threat posed by Ronaldo but know that they have a man of their own who has proven himself to be more than a match for Serie A's new boy.


Stones in the urinary bladder is a common problem for both dogs and cats. Although some stones (struvite) may be dissolved with special dietary therapy, most stones require surgical removal. Stones may be large, small, singular or multiple. Techniques have been developed with the laparoscope to assist in removal of bladder stones so as to minimize incisional size and tissue manipulation and subsequently improve patient comfort and recovery.
For laparoscopic assisted bladder stone removal, a small (3-5) mm incision is made in the abdomen and a port is placed to allow introduction of the camera into the abdomen. Once the abdominal structures are identified a second incision is made over the urinary bladder. A second port is placed and the bladder is grasped and retracted to the edge of the incision. Temporary sutures are placed to hold the bladder in place and the bladder is incised. Depending on their size and number, stones can be removed by either grasping forceps, wire baskets, or suction techniques. Once the stones have been removed the camera can be introduced into the bladder to confirm complete removal of stones. The bladder and laparoscopic ports are then closed in a routine manner.
See our web page on minimally invasive surgery for general details on laparoscopy.

Q: Precedence rule for serviceworker in case of two serviceworkers I am planning to have two service worker .But the Scope for one is subset of another's.
Ex: One is '/'
Other is '/images'
Now i am registering the two service workers from different places.
My doubt is when both serviceworkers are present and browser sends a request to /images , then which serviceworker will intercept it , as it is in scope of both the serviceworker.
Does the browser gives precedence to the more specialized scope ?
Edit: This my code for registering two Service Worker.Now i want to register both Service Workers when first call is made to '/'.
if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) {
        navigator.serviceWorker.register(serviceWorkerEndpoint1, { scope: serviceWorkerScope1 }).then(function (registration) {
            Log.Log('ServiceWorker registration successful with scope: ' + registration.scope, "ServiceWorker1Installed", "ServiceWorkerInstalled");
        }).catch(function (err) {
            Log.Log('ServiceWorker registration failed: ' + err, "ServiceWorkerInstalled", "ServiceWorkerInstalled");
            });

        navigator.serviceWorker.register(serviceWorkerEndpoint2, { scope: serviceWorkerScope2 }).then(function (registration) {
            Log.Log('ServiceWorker registration successful with scope: ' + registration.scope, "ServiceWorker2Installed", "ServiceWorkerInstalled");
        }).catch(function (err) {
            Log.Log('ServiceWorker registration failed: ' + err, "ServiceWorker2Installed", "ServiceWorkerInstalled");
        });
    }

A: Both work but only one is active per scope so the browser gives preference to the most specific one. I leave you a setup to verify (although I tried it by myself):
Folder structure:

Can Cryoablation Treat Breast Cancer?
Home›Breast Surgery, Dr. Lisa Curcio›Can Cryoablation Treat Breast Cancer?
Cryoablation is a novel treatment currently used to treat benign breast tumors (called fibroadenomas). Cryoablation is now being studied in patients with certain types of small breast cancer. The treatment places a small probe in the center of the cancer and subsequently uses liquid nitrogen to destroy breast cancer tumors by freezing them.
In the treatment of fibroadenomas, cryoablation has proven less invasive and less likely to affect cosmetic appearance than surgery. It could be possible for breast cancer patients to enjoy the same benefits in the future.
Breastlink Laguna Hills, through our partnership with the Cancer Research Collaboration, recently became a research site in the "Cryoablation of Low Risk Small Breast Cancer- Ice3 Trial." This research study, identified by the U.S. National Institutes Health as NCT02200705, is sponsored by IceCure Medical Ltd. It is important to note that joining a research study is an important personal decision. Not all patients will meet the strict criteria of this study. Please contact our office if you would like to be in touch with a member of the Cancer Research Collaboration research team.
The American Society of Breast Surgeons calls cryoablation of fibroadenoma 'safe, efficacious and durable.' Currently, the American Society of Breast Surgeons only recommends cryoablation for patients with fibroadonemas diagnosed by biopsy. During the procedure, ultrasound is used to produce images of internal breast tissue and to guide a probe to the exact location.
Local anesthesia is applied prior to the procedure to limit any potential discomfort or pain.
The probe resembles a thin needle and is placed in the center of the tumor fibroadenoma.
The procedure generally lasts 15 minutes or less.
Over time, the body's normal healing processes resorb the tumor cells frozen by the cryoablation eliminating the tumor from the breast.
Fibroadenomas are noncancerous or benign breast tumors. They generally do not increase risk for breast cancer or cause complications. They can however cause discomfort, which leads some women to have them treated.
For these women, cryoablation is an alternative option to surgery. Surgery is more costly, more invasive, more likely to affect cosmetic appearance and requires more time to recover from.
Could cryoablation be used to treat breast cancer tumors?
Early research has produced promising results for the use of cryoablation as treatment for certain types of breast cancer tumors. In 2014, the American College of Surgeons Oncology Group (ACOSOG) announced that cryoablation showed potential as an alternative to surgery for selected women with early-stage invasive ductal breast cancer (IDC).
In a phase II trial exploring cryoablation therapy in the treatment of Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, researchers declared that all breast cancer tumors less than 1 centimeter in diameter treated with cryoablation had no residual cancer after treatment. The success rate for cancers of any size was approximately 80 percent.
While early results of research investigating cryoablation for the treatment of IDC are promising, it will take time for this to become standard care. However, we are excited to be part of emerging technologies for breast cancer tumor treatment and to offer cryoablation of fibroadenomas at Breastlink Laguna Hills.
Hopefully, this procedure proves to be a useful technology in breast cancer treatment that can help select patients avoid the risks associated with surgery and treat their cancer in a less invasive fashion.
Absolutely–me, too!! Also wo the harmful side effects if current traditional treatments!
Recently read this, and wish I knew about it earlier.. My brest tumor was a stage 2, had it removed so maybe this would not have worked for me. Have chosen not to do radiaton follow up.
Excellent innovative research – most definitely the way forward to treat breast cancer and preserve the breasts. Is also non-toxic in comparison the conventional treatment. Would be interested in knowing the outcome of the clinical trial if anyone can direct me that would be great.
I wish that this had been available 8 years ago when I was diagnosed with stage two invasive ductal breast cancer with a 1 centimeter tumor. I had radiation and chemo that was very hard to get through.
I'm from Mumbai, India. Would you be knowing about any center in my neighborhood who do cryoablation?
Please tell me the criteria for Cryoablation. I have breast cancer and would like this method to be an option.
Patients currently need to be 60 years old or older. Tumor must be less that 1.5 cm and seen on ultrasound. Favorable Biology- ER+/Pr+, her-2neu negative and low mitotic division on SBR score. We hope that helps.

Incorporating Art In…
Incorporating Art In The Science Curriculum
By Jailson Lima (Chemistry Department, Vanier College, Montreal, QC)
I have been teaching chemistry to science students at Vanier College both in pre-university and career programs for the past 17 years. Since 2009, I have also taught History and Methodology of Science, a mandatory, fourth-semester course that is part of Vanier's Liberal Arts program. From the very start, it was evident that the approaches that I had used with science cohorts were not well suited to Liberal Arts students due to their insufficient backgrounds from high school and generalized lack of interest in the subject. Most of these students have phobias for mathematical formulas and calculations and do not see the purpose of having a science course as part of their program. Finding ways to spark students' curiosity and imagination in this course became my main challenge, an analogous situation that I encountered at the beginning of my career while trying to reach out to disengaged high school students in Brazil.
The Loss Of Objective Reality
Connecting Art & Science
Following the ideas of Imaginative Education, I searched for alternatives to engage Liberal Arts students by creating a narrative that linked their previous knowledge in philosophy, history, and art with the content of the science course. Believing that images can engage humans in ways that words and numbers cannot, I decided to merge art and science within a historical perspective.
Clash Of Cosmologies
I designed a course that compares the evolution of visual arts and the contemporary changes in scientific paradigms since the beginning of the modern era. After studying the subject, I identified underlying patterns to connect arts and science. For example, from the Renaissance to the late 19th century, the generalized belief that scientific knowledge described physical reality legitimized the supremacy of Newtonian cosmology. During the same period, artworks utilized a realistic approach to depict an objective world consisting of well-defined and recognizable figures in three-dimensional space. The depiction of the world as objective reality changed abruptly in both art and science at the beginning of the 20th century with the development of Impressionism and Quantum Theory. Emphasizing the similarities between the paradigm changes in both scientific concepts and artistic forms of expression became the centerpiece of my upgraded Liberal Arts science course. Using narrative, images, and humanization of meaning, I was able to imaginatively and emotionally engage my students in the History and Methodology of Science course.
Obsessed With Light: Monet Meets Einstein
Up until mid-19th century, the prevalent idea was that painting should either faithfully represent reality or present an idealization of reality (Shlain, 1991; Szamosi, 1986). This view went hand in hand with the conceptual framework of Newtonian mechanics. At the dawn of the 20th century, two individuals—one artist and one scientist—revolutionize their respective domains by recognizing the fundamental role of the transitory character of human perception in the construction of reality. In addition to their remarkable imaginations, Claude Monet and Albert Einstein also shared their obsessive interest in understanding and exploring the properties of light.
Light Spectrum
My students analyzed Monet's paintings in which the representation of the world no longer consists of well-defined and recognizable figures in three-dimensional space. Instead of focusing on the geometry of shapes, Monet eliminates the outlines and boundaries so that objects are no longer clear-cut and solid. Monet tries to capture on canvas the very act of perceiving nature by showing how light changes our visual experience. He was the first artist to immerse the viewer in the delight of color for color's sake by painting the same theme under different weather conditions and light exposures. No two paintings of even the same subject look alike (Leibowitz, 2008).
Wave Particle Duality
The timing of this changing perception in art coincided with a revolution in science that challenged the objectivity of classical Newtonian mechanics (Greene, 2004; Gamow, 1966). Like Monet, Einstein was obsessed with the nature of light. In 1905, he explained the photoelectric effect by proposing that light can behave as both waves and particles. The wave-particle duality of light—a behavior also observed with matter later—became one of the ground-breaking concepts in quantum theory. At the atomic level, Classical Newtonian mechanics does not apply and is unable to predict the behaviour of matter and the unexpected experimental results (Gardner, 1993; Isaacson, 2007).
The revolution in Monet's art was in step with the development of modern physics' radical change of worldview at the same time. We do not know what light is, only how it behaves: as a wave in some experiments and as a particle in others (Falk, 2002). The limitations of human perception trump the desire to describe the world objectively by emphasizing the construction of reality rather than its discovery (Hofstadter, 1999). A true revolution had started.
This Is Not A Pipe: Magritte Meets Einstein
This Is Not An Electron
The works of the Belgian painter René Magritte are used in this course as illustrations of the notion of symbolic representation (Umland, 2013). Magritte's paintings frequently portray juxtaposed ordinary objects in unconventional, unexpected contexts that lead viewers to new interpretations that are somewhat disruptive to consider. His iconic masterpiece The Treachery of Images (1929) depicts a pipe with the disclaimer "This is not a pipe," which emphasizes the distinction between objects and their representations (Sylvester, 2009). In the The Human Condition (1934), the painting within the painting perfectly captures the scene behind it, which is paradoxical because the image can never equal reality (Meuris, 2004). Students are invited to associate these paintings with scientific concepts. For example, all atomic models that we study throughout the course are only representations of aspects of an atom and neither the atom itself nor its true nature. It might look obvious to an expert but this realization helps students understand the high level of abstraction of chemical models and gives them an appreciation for the images, symbols, and conventions used in the field.
Deconstructing Reality: Picasso Meets Einstein
In my History and Methodology of Science course I also establish links between the ground-breaking works of Sigmund Freud, Pablo Picasso, and Albert Einstein in the early 20th century. Published in 1900, Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams describes the crucial role of the unconscious in determining human behaviour by placing emotions and sensations as more important than rational thought (Panek, 2004). In 1905, Einstein published a series of revolutionary papers including one about the photoelectric effect and another about the Special Theory of Relativity. These papers revolutionized core scientific paradigms from Classic Newtonian Physics by reconceptualising the basic notions of time, space, matter, light, and energy. During the same period, Picasso began experimenting with deconstructing physical forms to portray the world away from classical, realistic descriptions by not attempting to represent reality faithfully or to idealize it. This innovative approach resulted in his 1907 creative breakthrough Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, which is one of the most important paintings of the 20th century (Miller, 2001).
By analyzing the works of these extraordinary individuals, students began to get hold of the Zeitgeist—the spirit of the time—present at the dawn of the 20th century and to understand that neither art nor science evolve in isolation, but they are rather umbilically connected as part of the collective human mindset and experience.
Science and art would never be the same after these revolutions changed our view of reality (Kandel, 2012). It is crucial for science students to understand that scientific knowledge is not absolute, but it is instead based on mental models that have intrinsic limitations to their applicability.
Quantum & Perception
The newly established connections made in the course between science and the visual arts intrigued my Liberal Arts students. They started seeing science differently—through tools of the philosophic imagination—as part of a complex web that links aspects of art and philosophy to the political and economic realities of a given historical period. This new framework validated for them the need for a science course in the program. Now they think that acquiring basic science literacy is paramount in our times.
Creative Assessments: Exploring Science Through Art
Fostering imagination and creativity requires time and proper incentives. By employing cognitive tools, I found it possible to engage my students emotionally and imaginatively with the subject matter in my course. I have found that exposing students to imaginative works in multiple forms facilitates the development of strong emotional connections with the topic.
For example, students enjoyed reading the play Picasso at the Lapin Agile by Steve Martin (1996), which uses humor to portray a fictitious encounter between Einstein and Picasso in Paris in 1904, prior to their creative breakthroughs. To emphasize scientific concepts through images, students played with the interactive simulations Photoelectric Effect and Models for the Hydrogen Atom created by the University of Colorado, Boulder, and available through their website. The simulations activate their brains to think in terms of pictures and images rather than only with the words and numbers that are the focus of traditional approaches.
After the presentation of the course material, I created an art-lab assignment where I asked students to create visual representations that they associate with the idea of uncertainty and the clash between Classical Newtonian cosmology and the counterintuitive nature of quantum mechanics.
Finally, the Art &Science Project is a big assignment at the end of the course where students are required to both create a visual representation that portrays core scientific ideas and write a rationale for its process of creation and links to the course content. (This project has been described in detail here.)
This longer-term, iterative creative project requires both imagination and the ability to integrate concepts. The students' creative process is as important as the final product. When compared to traditional instructional strategies—the pervasive lecture/drill/practice—used in science courses, this activity embodies a remarkable shift in philosophy of teaching, curriculum design, and pedagogy. Students assume a more active role in their learning process by constructing meaning through high-level cognitive activities. There is also an incentive to think creatively and imaginatively, both not common characteristics of traditional approaches to teaching science. Incorporating art in the science curriculum has enormous potential to spark students' interest in both fields. The time has come to embrace imagination and creativity at all levels of instruction.
I would like to acknowledge the invaluable contributions of Anna Timm-Bottos, Laura Huddart, and Janis Timm-Bottos of the Department of Creative Arts Therapies, Concordia University, Montreal.

Providing good quality information and advice at the right time and in the right way is important to help people make informed decisions, maintain their independence and manage their emerging social care needs.
Information and advice is provided by Councils via leaflets which are not comprehensive and are not always available. Web sites are sometimes used to convey information that are corporate and do not meet the needs of people who use services. Therefore, when information is provided it is not centred on the needs of the individual and may not meet the information and advice requirements detailed in the Care Act. In addition, advocacy and independent advice services are not established - a requirement of the Care Act.
Many people don't seek initial information and advice from the Council - they get it from family, friends, people in the community and the voluntary sector. The quality of this information & advice is likely to be variable depending on the source. The councils role under the Care Act is to support the development of good quality information and advice and facilitate people's access to it.
For further information on the provision of information and advice, refer to TLAP's Information, advice and brokerage resources, in particular the Information and advice strategy tool.

I set up a Github repository for branchhours, a short Ruby script I wrote to help show library branch opening hours on the home page. I set up a bunch of Google calendars, one for each branch, and use them to hold the hours the branch is open or an indicator it's closed. It's not in production yet, but it seems to work OK as it is, so I thought I'd mention it. I'll post more about it when it goes into use.
If the idea of using Google Calendar to show library branch opening hours on a home page seems familiar, perhaps that's because you read Using Google Calendar to Manage Library Website Hours by Andrew Darby ( Code4Lib Journal #2 ). It's a simpler variation on what he did, in Ruby instead of PHP and without using a database or showing reference librarian information.

Salomon Rondon: I "was really close" to joining Manchester United in January
Former Newcastle and West Brom striker Salomon Rondon has made the astonishing admission that he came within a whisker of securing a move to Manchester United last month.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was actively in the market for frontline reinforcements during the January transfer window after Marcus Rashford sustained a double stress fracture in his back, which could rule him out for the season.
Was Rondon close to joining Man Utd? Five things to know…
Solskjaer sought to bring in a new striker last month following an injury picked up by Rashford.
The England international suffered a back injury in mid-January and could potentially miss the season.
The likes of Edinson Cavani were linked with a move but Man Utd settled on Odion Ighalo.
The ex-Watford striker has signed a six-month loan deal from Shanghai Greenland Shenhua.
Rondon has since revealed he came "really close" to sealing a move instead of Ighalo.
The Norwegian coach has since conceded the England international may not play for the club again this campaign, which will seriously jeopardise his chances of featuring for Gareth Southgate's side in the Euros.
The initial diagnosis quickly ruled Rashford out for at least three months, meaning Solskjaer had to turn his attention to the market, with several strikers finding their names associated with a move to Old Trafford.
Among those were unlikely duo Odion Ighalo and Salomon Rondon, who both left the Premier League for China in recent seasons, but it was the former who secured a move back to these shores.
Odion Ighalo is the first ever Nigerian player to appear for Man Utd in the Premier League.

— Squawka Football (@Squawka) February 17, 2020
Ighalo secured a loan move to Man Utd for the remainder of the season from Shanghai Greenland Shenhua, while Rondon has remained at Dalian Professional, though his path could have been so much different he claims.
"It was all out of my hands," the 30-year-old told The Athletic.
"It means a lot to be linked with Manchester United because they have a great history and it must mean they think I did well in the Premier League.
"They started to talk to my agent and I was just waiting by my phone for a decision, maybe for the lawyers, but then I saw Ighalo had signed.
"It didn't get to the stage where an offer was made or anything like that, but I think it was really close."
Rondon: I'm happy for Ighalo
Since leaving English football for the Chinese Super League, Rondon has scored five goals in 12 matches for his new club, picking up from where he left off on Tyneside, where his efforts yielded 12 goals and seven assists for Newcastle last season.
Pushed further on whether a failed move to Man Utd has been a cause of frustration, Rondon swatted away such a suggestion, and instead outlined his glee for the club's new marksman.
He added: "It's just football.
"It's decisions again and they obviously decided Ighalo was the best decision for them. I've played against him and I'm pleased for him.
"All I can do is keep working. I'm concentrating on Dalian, on working and learning and listening to the manager. After that, we will have to wait and see. You just never know in this game."

A superb collection of Fran Landesman songs, with Ian Shaw on vocals, composer Simon Wallace at the piano, and a guest appearance by trumpeter Sue Richarson on one track.
"A GHOST IN EVERY BAR, THE LYRICS OF FRAN LANDESMAN" features Shaw accompanied by the composer of 12 of the tracks in this 15 song collection, Simon Wallace. Four of these songs from the enduring Landesman/Wallace partnership have never been released before. Landesman who died in July 2011 is quoted as saying that Shaw's interpretation of the famous and much covered "Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most", written with Tommy Wolf, was her favourite and Shaw gives a definitive rendering of this song on this collection. "Small Day Tomorrow" which Landesman wrote with Bob Dorough is also included adding further texture to the album.


Ahead of a full-length project, The Nature Of The Beast, set to drop in September, London singer, poet and painter Zilo returns with a video for her latest single 'Don't Waste My Time'.
The piece sees Zilo enjoying her own company in the wake of a break-up.

I had the privilege to lead a Lenten retreat for moms of high school students recently. Being a teacher, I wanted one word for them as a take-away that could help them remember the main points of retreat. So I used the word MOMS for an acronym.
First M stands for Mother Mary. She's the true model of femininity and beauty. There's no comparison to our Heavenly Mother for beauty and virtue. Don't you agree? Just look at any image of her and you can easily see the purity that this world so needs.
The letter O stands for obedience. It's good to remember the root of the word obey which means to listen. We need to listen for the voice of the Lord. "My sheep hear my voice." John 10: 27 But to listen we must make quiet time in order to hear. Set aside time, consecrate it for our relationship with the Lord.
The next letter M at first I thought would stand for ministering since mothers do so much ministering to their children and husband, but being uncertain I asked the Lord the night before the retreat to speak to me in my slumber and give me the "right" M word if that wasn't the best one. During that night, I woke with the word monopolize. What a surprising word, but the more I thought about it--the more it seemed right. I got the strong sense that he was saying I want to control everything in your lives--every area, every aspect, every detail. Okay, Lord, I'll use that word that I never would have thought of, but you impressed it upon me in my sleep.
And finally S stands for seeking. "Seek first the Kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6: 33 We must continually seek first the Lord. Each day it starts over in communing with him. We will seek him the rest of our life. And we will not stop until we come face to face with Him.
So, keep Mother Mary as your role model, learn to listen better which includes obeying what you understand him instructing you to do, commit every area of your life to God and ask him to monopolize it, and finally, seek him with all your heart, soul, mind and strength each and every new day.

Can a Good God Give Suffering?
Does God Care about Our Pain?
Why Does a Loving God Make Us Suffer?
Why Does God Allow Us to Choose a Path of Pain?
When I Am Hurt by Others, What Do I Do?
Pain opens the heart to search for meaning. We ask God, "Why?" And find He is silent. We question His goodness, love and sovereignty. These questions bring us to Him.
By coming to Him, we learn the deeper answers. We find the love we crave. We discover the God Who wants us to know Him.
This collection of articles leads us to find that meaning, learn those answers and see our God.
If you require more explanations before you approach Him with open arms, read the two books I used: Paul Brand and Philip Yancey in In His Image provides a heart view of God and C.S. Lewis in The Problem of Pain gives the mind's view of God. Or better yet, search the Psalms where you see David's heart poured out before his God and see the answers He finds.
God is waiting for you to come to Him. He uses pain to get your attention.
May these answers bring you to the Savior where His perfect love is found.

Why So Few Clues on Missing Malaysia Flight 370?

from the The-Presses-Keep-Rolling dept.
Papas Fritas writes:
"Bill Palmer, an Airbus A330 captain for a major airline, and author of the book 'Understanding Air France 447.' has an interesting read at CNN on why there have been so few clues about the fate of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, beginning with the lack of a distress call. According to Palmer the lack of a distress call is not particularly perplexing. 'An aviator's priorities are to maintain control of the airplane above all else. An emergency could easily consume 100% of a crew's efforts. To an airline pilot, the absence of radio calls to personnel on the ground that could do little to help the immediate situation is no surprise.'
Reports of a possible course reversal observed on radar could be the result of intentional crew actions but not necessarily says Palmer. During Air France 447's 3-1/2 minute descent to the Atlantic Ocean, it too changed its heading by more than 180 degrees, but it was an unintentional side effect as the crew struggled to gain control of the airplane. The Malaysian flight's last telemetry data, as reported by flightaware.com, shows the airplane at 35,000 feet. Even with a dual engine failure, a Boeing 777 is capable of gliding about 120 miles from that altitude yielding a search area roughly the size of Pennsylvania, with few clues within that area where remains of the aircraft might be. "This investigation may face many parallels to Air France 447, an Airbus A330 that crashed in an area beyond radar coverage in the ocean north of Brazil in June 2009. Like the Air France plane, the Malaysia Airlines aircraft was a state-of-the-art, fly-by-wire airplane (a Boeing 777) with an excellent safety record," says Palmer. 'We will know the truth of what happened when the aircraft is found and the recorders and wreckage are analyzed. In the meantime, speculation is often inaccurate and unproductive.'"

Surveillance may tell you less than you expect. For instance, GPS tracking requires both a GPS receiver and some kind of transmitter to report those coordinates - unlike what they show in the movies and on TV.
This makes me wonder, however: With airplanes having in-flight Internet, why don't commercial airliners send a short message (anything from Internet packets to Iridium SMS would do) reporting a plane's call sign, GPS coordinates, and GPS direction and speed, once every minute? At Iridium prepaid rates [sattransusa.com] that would cost only $324 for a 12-hour flight. And the airlines could surely negotiate better deals.
If you ask, "send it where?", given the complexities of surveillance and international flights, I'd suggest sending it to the airline's headquarters. From there, nations could file requests for the data in case of accidents like this one.

Most already do:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_dependent_s urveillance-broadcast [wikipedia.org]
However, that requires working radio transmitters. I believe this airliner was sending ADS broadcasts before it disappeared from radar, and ATC stopped receiving them afterwards... so, if it didn't crash, it either wasn't able to tell anyone where it was, or was out of range of any station that could receive it.

google for ACARS and to a lesser extent, or maybe a cousin of your idea, ADS-B. Also see how EPIRB are supposed to work, assuming you don't hit the water going supersonic.
Might also want to look into modern radar transponders, and just plain old radio. Pick up a mic and say WTF.
The coast guard equivalent is something called AIS, which also does about what you think it should.
Works real well if you have a "five minute long" problem over an area with good RX coverage. Not so well for utter catastrophe (like the wing or tail literally falls off in flight or something)
All those services are broadcast rather than SPOF. If you're already in trouble, the last thing you need is a SPOF.

The right wing came off in flight. This aircraft had a collision with a Airbus from China eastern airlines a few years ago while taxiing and it took off the last 3 feet of the right wing. This damage was repaired however the maintenance people.may not have checked the wing root for cracks. Over the course of the last two years the small crack developed into a large crack that structurally compromised the aircraft. The proof of this is that the flightradar 24 telemetry shows the aircraft track veered to the right just before losing contact. This would be expected since the left wing is still generating lift and makes the aircraft tumble to the right slightly as it goes down. The high g acceleration may explain the loss of the altitude information in the ADS_B telemetery on the flightradar 24 website (high g and loss of wing damaged avionics).

Maybe, but complete loss of the right wing would cause the aircraft to roll continuously to the right, not simply turn right. It also wouldn't cause loss of electrical power, nor "wing-damaged avionics"). If the wing fell off it would immediately fall behind the aircraft. It might strike the tail or the fuselage on its way back, but it wouldn't take out anything forward of the wing.

Law enforcement officials reportedly made an arrest in the robbery and assault case involving Denver Bronco Javon Walker.
Police say the arrested man was charged this week with any number felonies. there is a belief that another man is involved in the kidnapping and robbery and authorities are searching the Las Vegas area on the lookout for the other suspect.
Police have reported that the NFL player entered a vehicle along with the men. He was later found on the street. Walker was beaten badly and rushed to the hospital near the Las Vegas Strip.
If you or a member of your family is a similar situation, it is adviseable to have a New York Criminal Lawyerat your side. An attorney will be very helpful in advising you of your rights and making sure that your side of the case gets to be heard in the best light for you.
Police were told that Walker had $3,000 in cash and some very expensive jewelry stolen from him.
The ex Denver Bronco wideout had injuries to his face and looked like he just finished a football game where he was hit a number of times by blind side tackles.
Walker is now a member of the Raiders. He was let go the Broncos in February but received a whopping multi million dollar deal from Al Davis, the eccentric owner of the Oakland francise.
The firm of Stephen Bilkis & Associates with its New York Crime Attorneysand six convenient locations in the Metropolitan Area including Kew Gardens, Queens can be of invaluable assistance to you if you find yourself a defendant in a criminal action. Facing charges without professional representation could lead to disastrous results.

A slightly smaller and thus more economical English style New England barn is our Litchfield Queenpost Barn which, like our larger offerings, utilizes Queenposts and continuous Purlin Plates to support the roof structure. Smaller English style barns typically had their doors on the sides (eave walls) in the center or "threshing" bay, but we can easily modify any of our designs and place doors in any bay or on a gable end- wherever they best suit your needs. Do you have a sloping building site? We can even create a custom "Bank Barn" design, very much a New England classic!

The Making of 'Mr. Buechner's Dream'
The Making of Mr. Buechner's Dream is a DVD released in 2005 by the American rock band Daniel Amos on Stunt Records.
The 90 minute film was edited together from over nine hours of randomly filmed home movies and footage made while the band was recording their epic 32 song album, Mr. Buechner's Dream.
This "making of" documentary shows the band at work rehearsing the new songs and recording in the studio. Many "making of" documentaries, like The Beatles Let It Be do not actually show a lot of footage of the band recording what is actually found on the album. For example, many of that film's performances are different takes or rehearsals. In this film however, much of what is shown on the screen is the band recording exactly what is found on the album - from guitar solos, to vocals, to bass tracks.
The film starts out letting the viewer roam around the band while it's rehearsing in drummer Ed McTaggart's house in California. The band is seen going through several of the songs from the album and working out chord changes. In most cases, the lyrics to the songs were not yet finished at this point so lead singer Terry Scott Taylor is seen improvising lyrics while the band plays.
The next segment is an introduction to The Green Room studios and a short tribute to longtime D.A. engineer and friend, Gene Eugene, set to the music of "Flash In Your Eyes," a song written about the late engineer and friend of the band.
The rest of the film is inside the studio as the band works out guitar, bass, vocals, and drum tracks. The viewer gets to see the creative process as each band member takes part in making suggestions and giving their own ideas on each track. Also included in this segment is a number of comedy segments that the band put together in between sessions.
Bonus material on the DVD includes a live performance by the band at the 2001 Creation Festival.
Because much of this film is simply home movie footage filmed by the band itself, there are some quality issues from time to time. Lighting is not always the best and there are a few scenes with some digital noise in the audio. The producers of the film did their best to minimize these problems, but they are still noticeable at times.
