A Timor Sea maritime boundary beyond the median line was never reasonable.
John Carlson says Australia approached maritime boundary negotiations with Indonesia in 1972 by arguing the Timor Trough was the meeting point of two geologically distinct continental shelves at a subduction zone. But the trough does not constitute two separate shelves any more than a rumpled carpet constitutes two carpets.
Carlson rejects Kim McGrath's claim that Australian maritime boundary negotiators in the 1970s buried a report containing contrary expert advice, in which the authors suggest defining the dual "shelves" on the basis of morphology, or shape, because they could not be separated geologically.
Several aspects of the report indicate that the Australian Government knew its position to be unfounded. The report mentions "thrusting of the Timor sequence up and to the south over much the same sequence that floors the Sahul Shelf". An early version of this correlation across the Timor Trough was already published and available by 1969.
The authors of the 1970 report also knew that the Timor Trough was not the trace of a subduction zone. They refer to work subsequently published in 1976 when they say that gravity lows are offset northward from the trough, a characteristic that is not consistent with a subduction zone. A 1978 publication based on work in the late 1960s and early 1970s remarked on the absence of discrete structural expression of a subduction zone within the trough.
Earthquake records in the subducting plate, which illuminate the shapes of subduction zones, also show that earthquake activity in the Timor slab does not extend to the surface. This tells us that subduction has ended there and the slab has probably broken off.
All this demonstrates that the "Timor Trough" is not the "Timor subduction zone". A subduction zone used to exist, but its relict trace can be found where contiguous Asian rocks rest atop Australian rocks along the north coast of Timor. Ultimately, the report correctly concludes that there is "no evidence to suggest that there is any continental margin between the Sahul Shelf and Timor".
That key finding was buried.
French and New Caledonian leaders have achieved some important steps in preparing for the 2018 'final' referendum process.

Long ago, when my both my boys were under three and I was still perfecting the art of smiling while drowning (lest anyone should think I couldn't cope with motherhood), Son2 momentarily died. For more than a moment, but less than a minute, he was clinically dead, not breathing and with no heart beating.
It was, we later discovered, his first attack of Reflex Anoxic Seizures (RAS) a heart rhythm disorder that causes a non-epileptic blackout and is, thank God, always reversible. We didn't know that then, but by the time the ambulance had arrived he was almost back to normal.
There is always a trigger, such as an unexpected pain or fright but for Son2, the trigger was anxiety; I was halfway up the stairs and my darling boy didn't want to be left behind without me. He would go on to suffer up to three attacks a day for the next two years and you could never predict when it would happen. Scary stuff.
At the time, 2000, I was helped by the- then- kitchen table charity, STARS, founded by Trudie Lobban. In return, I volunteered for them for many years using my PR and journalism skills, which also kept those skills up-to-date. Volunteering is an excellent way to keep your hand in the game, I learned.
There are many kinds of syncope (blackout) that STARS covers, including a condition that Son2 now has, Postural orthostatic Tachycardia (PoTS)*. After years of being free of the symptoms of RAS, the hormones of adolescence can often restart the condition and this is how it has manifested for him, along with Ehlers Danlos syndrome*.
As you know, I also have these syndromes and they aren't much fun for me, so it must be much worse when you're a young person. And there are many out there whose symptoms are utterly devastating. For Son2, it meant only clocking up an 80% attendance at school in his GCSE years but, I'm thrilled to say, his results are pretty stellar even so. (I'll write more about the support he had soon).
For many years, STARS has held a Patient Day as part of its annual international Heart Rhythm Congress in Birmingham This year's event on Sunday 4th October, will look at living with blackouts/syncope (pron: sin-co-pe) while the afternoon is mainly dedicated to PoTS. There's also a presentation from world syncope expert, Dr Blair Grubb as well as parallel events for patients with other kinds of heart rhythm issues.
PoTS is one of the many conditions where patient engagement and self-management can make a huge difference to quality of life. But to do that, people with PoTS (or similar rare conditions) and their carers need information, up-to-date knowledge and most of all support, because it's a long term condition and expert knowledge among GPs is not commonplace.
It's almost always the case with rare conditions that the patient/carer becomes an expert themselves and ends up educating their local medical practitioner. Misdiagnosis can be far too common.
In fact, I think STARS was a pioneer in the UK at involving patients/families in such an integral way and holding events where (shock!) patients could mingle and share knowledge and experience with practitioners and experts. You can guarantee that everyone comes away having learned something new.
The notion of "patient involvement" has been catching on and despite the lack of buy-in from health we saw with the special needs reforms, elsewhere, charities and patient organisations have put patient advocacy front and centre as it should be. There's even a hashtag #patientsinvolved.
The NHS is doing its bit too, with patients becoming integral stakeholders and there are many opportunities to get involved. Pharma and medical device companies have been catching on too - they have deep pockets and are seeing the many benefits of working with patients. However there are still far too many areas where the patient is still seen as the "grateful recipient" of whatever medical professionals decide they can have. Respecting the patient/advocate viewpoint has never been more important, particularly when many parents are saving the NHS thousands by acting as de facto 24/7 unpaid nurses for their complex children.
I would definitely recommend attending patient conferences or even webinars for whatever condition your family is living with. Knowledge is the first step to becoming a confident advocate for yourself or your loved one. This is the future of healthcare, where patients' views are valued and they are partners in their treatment however they can be.
So, if you have a child or family member who is affected by a heart rhythm problem, or if you are yourself, do consider attending the STARS patient day (and don't wait too long as they do fill up). I know from attending myself this and other, similar events before now, that the welcome is warm, there will be people who want to chat with you and you really do come away with new information and ideas. If you are hosting a conference, let us know and we'll share it on our social media.

Open a new Pacific era
With next year marking the 70th anniversary of the division of the Korean Peninsula, Seoul and Pyongyang publicly announced their positions about unification at the beginning of this year. During a New Year's press conference, President Park Geun-hye expressed cautious optimism about unification. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un also made an "important proposal" on the issue. The two sides reconfirmed their different views about unification once again, but they still appeared to check on each other's willingness for new dialogues.
Given the international community's consensus that Korea's decades-long separation and formal state of war - a critical threat to the Asia-Pacific region - cannot go on forever, the two Koreas' recent stances appear natural. It is also a good sign that the two sides agreed to have the long-awaited family reunions at the Mount Kumgang resort. A new chapter may have opened for those families who have become exhausted by the long wait for unification.
After leaders of the countries directly involved in Korean Peninsula affairs - the Koreas, China, Japan, Russia and the United States - coincidentally began to serve their terms a year ago, the synchronization led us to harbor a vague hope for an era of Asia's rise in the global community and an era in which the Korean Peninsula could move toward reunification.
Despite active presidential diplomacy over the past year, Asia and the Korean Peninsula is still faced with dauting challenges. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's strong retro-nationalism pushed the Asian dream into a crisis. The extreme instability and peculiarity of the North Korean regime - vividly displayed through Jang Song-thaek's execution - reminded us of the rough road that will lead to unification. In such a frustrating moment, it would have been welcoming to see an attempt by America, China and the two Koreas to restart their talks and diplomacy.
The agonies that the Korean people suffered during colonization and the pain of division and the cold war were the byproducts of irresponsible dynamics among superpowers. Even in the 21st century, it is hard to find ways to resolve our separation and confrontation without considering the dynamics of the superpowers.
Therefore, achieving reunification "independently" doesn't mean what it should. It means we have to use the opportunities provided by international politics to push forward a creative resolution that can meet the interests of all the parties involved - not just the Koreans themselves.
Until now, there was a difference in the views about "independent reunification" between the two Koreas. One country actively participated in the wave of globalization, and its prestige was heightened in the international community, while the other refused to join the current of our times and chose isolation. The difference in the views reflected the difference in those two situations.
Expectations are high this spring that the relations between America and China - which both seek peace and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region - and the two Koreas' ties - which seek to find a dramatic turning point that leads to a peaceful unification - will form an organic link and usher in an era of new dialogue and diplomacy.
In a sign of noticeable progress, U.S. State Secretary John Kerry, who had focused on Middle East issues, will soon visit Korea and China to discuss Asia issues, including the Korean Peninsula.
The summit in California between U.S. President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping last June was seen as a positive start, but we ended up with unclear, opaque results. The two leaders will meet again in The Hague during a Nuclear Security Summit in March. I hope they will find a more concrete clue to solving the conundrum on the Korean Peninsula.
As pointed out by Dr. Jonathan D. Pollack, director of the John L. Thornton China Center at the Brookings Institution, although North Korea is often referred to as a buffer state for China, it is actually China that acts as a buffer state for North Korea "for Beijing continues to be Pyongyang's primary enabler." To normalize this abnormality, the time has come for China, the United States and South Korea to have constructive talks.
For a strategic balance between China and America in Asia, South Korea, which is capable of maintaining smooth communications with both sides, can play an appropriate role, Peking University Professor Zhu Feng said, according to the Dong-A Ilbo on June 23, 2013.
To satisfy productive and constructive U.S.-China relations - in other words, to achieve Obama's rebalancing strategy - and Xi's new model of major-country relations, joint efforts to diplomatically resolve the Korean Peninsula issue - the last remaining legacy of World War II - is pivotal.
When you draw a circle with a 1,300-kilomter (808-miles) radius with the Korean Peninsula at its center, a global hub of economy and culture with a 700 million population emerges. What will rebalancing and a new model of major-country relations mean when they maintain the danger of a nuclear war in this important region?
As the two Koreas already promised a nuclear-free unification under the Joint Declaration on the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, they must join diplomatic efforts with the United States and China to open a new Pacific era.

Department of Homeland Security Daily Open Source Infrastructure Report
Complete DHS Daily Report for March 20, 2009
 According to the Associated Press, federal safety officials are grounding 2,800 Bell helicopters in a search for improperly installed bearings that could cause the co-pilot controls to malfunction. (See item 11)
11. March 18, Associated Press – (National) FAA grounds 2,800 Bell helicopters for inspection. Federal safety officials are grounding 2,800 Bell helicopters in a search for improperly installed bearings that could cause the co-pilot controls to malfunction. A Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) spokeswoman says the agency wants operators of three types of helicopters to visually inspect a bearing in the co-pilot cyclic controls and replace the part if it was improperly installed. The helicopters are Bell models 407 and 427, and the 206 A, B, and L series. A spokesman for the Fort Worth, Texas-based Bell Helicopter said the company discovered the problem last week when trying to deliver a new helicopter. He said he expects FAA to issue a new advisory limiting the grounding to less than 110 newer helicopters.

 The Hartford Courant reports that 22 people were treated for minor eye and respiratory irritation after an ammonia leak on Monday at the Celebration Foods plant in New Britain, Connecticut. (See item 15)
15. March 17, Hartford Courant – (Connecticut) Ammonia leak empties food plant. Twenty-two people were transported to area hospitals after an ammonia leak March 16 at Celebration Foods in New Britain, a fire official said. No one was seriously injured. Shortly after 9 a.m., the fire department received a call that an employee at the Myrtle Street building was having difficulty breathing, he said. Other people then began to feel ill and left the building. Twenty-five people were transported to area hospitals and were treated for minor eye and respiratory irritation. Equipment at the new plant detected the leak and shut it down quickly, he said. "There was never any danger to the neighborhood," he said. In a statement released Monday afternoon, the company said the leak was detected within two minutes of the start of a production line about 8:30 a.m. The company said ammonia levels were "within standard operating levels" and the plant resumed production about 10:30 a.m. Celebration Foods, a division of FOCUS Brands, Inc., manufactures, distributes, and markets frozen desserts.

8. March 19, Bloomberg – (National) U.S. considers broadening TALF program to distressed assets. The Presidential Administration may use a new Federal Reserve program designed to spur consumer lending to help remove distressed assets from banks' balance sheets, according to people familiar with the matter. Officials may meld the Treasury's plan to set up private investment funds to buy frozen assets with the Fed program, known as the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility, the people said. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. may also get a wider role, they said. The Treasury Secretary may use an array of approaches to maximize the likelihood of cleansing banks' balance sheets so they can start lending again. The next announcement, which may come as soon as this week, will be critical after the Treasury Secretary's first unveiling of the strategy caused a sell-off in financial stocks. "Letting the TALF take on this role would arguably allow" the toxic-debt effort "to be implemented faster as many of its technical details have been worked out" already, said an economist at Nomura Securities International Inc. in New York. The TALF would provide loans to investors and agree to take illiquid debt as collateral, the people said. It would be used alongside the Treasury's planned public-private investment funds.

9. March 18, Chippewa Valley Herald – (Wisconsin) Scam targets area bank customers. Area financial institutions are warning customers of a telephone scam seeking account information in the wake of widespread calls in western Wisconsin. RCU reported on March 17 that its members are receiving phone calls asking for their check card number along with their PIN in an apparent scam. "Please be advised this is not coming from RCU and we ask that you not respond to any type of request like this," said the RCU community relations coordinator. That goes for customers of any other financial institution as well. Community Credit Union, Altra Credit Union, and the Bank of Galesville reported a deluge of calls on March 17 from customers who had received automated calls to their cell phones. Other area banks also reported scam calls. Source: http://www.chippewa.com/articles/2009/03/19/news/doc49c117c57e2cd450937960.txt
27. March 17, DarkReading – (International) UN agency: cybersquatting on the rise. The number of cybersquatting reports rose nearly 10 percent last year, according to a United Nations agency charged with protecting intellectual property worldwide. The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) said on March 16 that a record-breaking 2,329 complaints of cybersquatting were filed with the agency in 2008, an 8 percent increase from 2007. Nearly half of the complaints came from U.S. organizations. Among the industries hit most by cybersquatting were biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, which accounted for 9.9 percent of the complaints to WIPO; banking and finance, 9.4 percent; Internet and IT, 8.8 percent; retail, 8.1 percent; food, beverage, and restaurants, 7.2 percent; entertainment, 6.5 percent; media and publishing, 6.3 percent; fashion, 6.0 percent; and hotels and travel, 6.0 percent. "Cybersquatting remains a serious issue for trademark holders. Supported especially by registrar and registry stakeholders, the sale and broad expansion of new top level domains in the open market, if not properly managed, will provide abundant opportunities for cybersquatters to seize old ground in new domains," said the WIPO director general in a statement. WIPO's report jibes with a recently released study by MarkMonitor, which examined abuse of the top 30 brands and found that most of the same ones still get spoofed online. In its Annual Brandjacking Index for 2008, MarkMonitor found 80 percent of sites it first discovered in the first quarter of 2007 abusing brands were still alive and well in 2008. The abuse ranges from using a famous brand name just to drive traffic to the misrepresented site, to infecting visitors, according to MarkMonitor.

28. March 18, Mobile Burn – (National) FCC approves first Long Term Evolution network component in U.S. The Federal Communications Commission has approved a filing for an LG Electronics infrastructure device labeled as "Long Term Evolution User Equipment," making it the first LTE component approved in the United States. The equipment is classified as a Licensed Non-Broadcast Station Transmitter running on the 1700MHz AWS band. Much of the documentation pertaining to the device is currently protected by a confidentiality agreement between LG and the communications agency. Source: http://www.mobileburn.com/news.jsp?Id=6630

This year Fortune magazine also placed her first on its "50 Most Powerful Women in Business" list, and in 2013 Forbes magazine selected her as one of the "World's 100 Most Powerful Women." Barra began her career at General Motors in 1980 and has been with the company for more than three decades.
In addition to Barra's opening ceremony keynote address, General Motors is one of the anchor sponsors of the 2014 ITS World Congress.


For his contribution to generating knowledge using genomics and related technologies, Terry, head of Bioinformatics at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (WEHI), was awarded the 2013 Prime Minister's Prize for Science.
At the University of California, Berkeley, in the '80s and '90s, Terry came across the new microarray technology that simultaneously assessed the activity levels of thousands of genes. There he developed statistical analysis techniques that are still widely used.
Now at WEHI, Terry applies statistics to the fields of genetics and molecular biology. Cancer is a particular focus. He is developing techniques to sort out the thousands of differences between normal and cancer cells, investigating ideas to treat cancer more efficiently, and working with the small company Veracyte to create a tool to determine whether your thyroid growth is benign.

Last Saturday i was doing some portraits for her really photogenic boyfriend (photos will follow!) and she was with us so we decided to try "some" shots together too.
We were both so blown away from the results that we decided to do another, much more complex shooting this friday.
Till then, i wanna show you these photos of a really special model that might appear on my blog many times in the future.

Q: Nutch 2.x not crawling websites like flipkart and jabong I've done some experiments with nutch to crawl websites which were not having any ajax calls and I got all the data.
I executed following steps to get the data.

Q: Why is the x axis backwards and x and y axis not labeled in this simple scatter plot Why doesn't this simple scatter plot work in a sane way? It seems like I'm having to jump through hoops for something that ought to "just work". I think the code below should result in plot with (0,0) as the origin and an x and y axis that each go up to 10 with nicely labeled, evenly spaced tick marks on each axis. Instead, the origin is at 1,7 and the x axis is backwards, decreasing from right to left.
Maybe I'm going blind, but I've looked through the Tutorials and Gallery and I can't find any example of a plain, simple, no-frills plot of distinct points on a coordinate plane.
x = ['7', '8', '6', '7.5', '4']
y = ['1', '2', '2', '3', '3']
plt.scatter(x,y)
plt.xlim(0,10)
plt.ylim(0,10)
plt.show()

I have also tried
plt.plot(x,y, 'ro')
plt.axis([0,10,0,10])
plt.show()

with similar results.

I've been able to get sane looking results by calling plt.gca().invert_xaxis() to get the x axis into an increasing rather than decreasing direction and manually passing a list of tickmarks to xticks and yticks, but I don't understand why that's necessary. Why doesn't setting the max and min for the x and y axis result in a graph with sensible default tick marks?

A: Your lists are of strings, not numbers so matplotlib doesn't really know how to handle them in the way that you expect. Remove the single quotes from the x and y lists and try it again.

Hi, I'm Dr. Kat. I'm passionate about empowering families to find health and well-being. Through preconception, birth, childhood and anything else life brings, we can work together to ensure a healthier future for our children. Stay tuned to see my life as a mom, a chiropractor, and a real food junkie. Here you will find, healing recipes, wellness tips, remedies, and real life stories on how I keep my family naturally healthy.
What set me on a course for change?
We all have moments that are course altering. One of my greatest life-changing moments came after graduating chiropractic school. I was excited to embark on my new life of healing others, when my sister said to me, "I would never see a doctor that didn't practice what they preached." That's when I realized that if I wanted to empower my patients to take an active role in improving their health and well-being, then I needed to take an active role in my own.
As far back as I can remember, I had struggled with weight and energy, erratic periods, and sinus problems. I suffered from migraines, infertility, and anxiety. Name any symptom, and I probably had it. Little did I know that I was in for a long, hard battle before I would begin to feel good in my own skin. After a series of tests that left me with no diagnoses, my symptoms were treated with little success. All of the conventional treatments didn't work or lasted only a few days before my symptoms would return. I set out to find the truth as to why I felt any symptoms at all.
While in chiropractic school I began to think of the story of conjoined twins Masha and Dasha. Two sisters who shared the same blood supply and some of their organs. While they shared the same body, they had separate nervous systems. Their remarkable story provided a unique opportunity to better understand how two people could live similar lives but not catch the same diseases. This lead researchers to believe that stress may have weakened the immune system of one twin, but did not affect the other.
It was time for me to understand and remove the stress from my body and mind. If my nervous system was under stress, then my immunity was weakened, providing an environment for diseases to thrive. I learned that a healthy gut played a big role in my health and its relationship to my brain and immune function.
I took a good look at my diet to determine what foods caused inflammation. By cutting out things like gluten and dairy, I started to see a huge improvement in my symptoms. I continued working on healing myself naturally by finding the best sources for nourishment.
While struggling for four years with infertility, I was hit with a life changing blow: The diagnosis of auto-immune Graves and auto-immune diabetes. After the initial crisis, I slowly began to recover my health through nutrition, exercise, and chiropractic lifestyle. I went on to opened my private chiropractic practice and wellness center. Of course, I am still on this ever-evolving journey but the best part is sharing my passion for empowering families to naturally heal, and to create a healthier future for the next generation. I believe that through proper nutrition and natural living, it is possible to fix a life before conception.


Hi, friends today in this post we have to see that how to set the best safety in WhatsApp. Please share this post with your friends.
Nowadays most of the peoples are using Whatsapp regularly. Among them, the main disturb is unwanted calls from unknown numbers. If any unknown person has your number then they call continuously. To avoid this unwanted calls an amazing new feature is coming. In this post, we can see what is the new one.
The app is Yo WhatsApp. In this app, we can set calls to come or not from a specified WhatsApp contact. First, install the app from the option given. Then install it and register with a mobile number. After that open any contact from WhatsApp and in the settings of that contact you can see a various useful option for safety.

The main thing in No calls option. If you not like that incoming calls from a particular contact then select ON this option. After that, no more calls are received from that contact. Like these there are many best options are available in this WhatsApp app.


If your website marketing does these things, it's a winner. If not, then its time to review what is working and what isn't.
Its content that pulls in prospects. Just take a look at The Drudgereport. No flashy, fancy graphics; just straightforward content. Yet it pulls in over four and a half million hits each day, five and a half million per day during this past month and has made Matt Drudge millions of dollars. Content brings customers to the site and keeps them there.
Many sites have some educational and client centered content on their site, but it's buried behind uninteresting homepages or by flash movies or graphic full pages that turn visitors away so they never see the good stuff.
In some cases it's simply a matter of moving hidden content to the homepage and augmenting it to give prospects what they want. Use your site's design, navigation systems, graphics and links to ensure visitors view the content that will interest them and to take the desired action.

John from Wisconsin called with exactly this problem. He owns a firm that provides financial services to people planning to sell or pass on family businesses. Located in a small town, his business is steady, but, well, small. He built a web site to reach a broader market and signed up with Overture.com to advertise it and attract visitors. (Overture posts the sponsored links you see at the top of your search results on many sites.) This is when his biggest problem became apparent.
The problem wasn't with John's business idea or Overture. He had identified both a need and an underserved target market. His Overture ads worked so well they generated thousands of clicks to his site. In no time at all, John had run through his advertising budget but hadn't translated any of the visitors into leads or sales.

If you are running a Web ad campaign, you will attract two types of visitors. The ideal prospect is one who is looking for a solution, one which hopefully your product or service provides. This should be an easy sale, but you still need to demonstrate that you understand their concerns and can solve the problem or meet their specific need.

On the Story of Sand
September 24th, 2009 | Meera
There is a particular family of creation myths, emerging out of different cultures all over the world, from the Americas to India to the ancient lands of Central Europe, whose stories loop back and back again to a common center. The universe, they all say, was once a vast, primordial ocean. When things began there was no land upon which to rest a weary foot, no earth where trees could grow, no rocky mountains to break the droning plane of the sea. The sky was all there was above, and water was all there was below, and the animals ached for a world entire.
And so, one creature—sometimes a duck, sometimes a turtle, sometimes a beaver or our old trickster friend coyote—was sent by the others to dive deep, deep, deep below the dark waves to bring up some earth with which to build a world. But the task was too perilous, and the first emissary perished before it could swim far enough down, or else returned to the surface of the water empty-handed and half-dead from exhaustion and breathlessness. It had to go again, or let another go in its stead. This went on, the stories say, for some long while, and discouragement fell upon the creatures of the universe. But then a piece of luck came along. After the third or fourth or fifth grueling dive, a few nearly invisible grains of sand were finally discovered tucked beneath the nails of the one who was the last to descend—the one who without even noticing had scraped against the bottom of the ocean floor.
From these specks—this grist—the whole world was formed.
Ross can't stand sand, for exactly the reason that it is able to play such an important role in these mythic landscapes. Sand clings to you, he complains, embeds itself in crevices, lodges between nails and skin. Light enough to travel, it blows into your hair; heavy enough to settle, it accumulates inside shoes. In general, Ross tolerates sand for the sake of the sea. Last weekend, it was the promise of open skies and a roaring fire that allowed him to rise above this deeply rooted prejudice. We hopped in a rental car, tucked two little-used sleeping bags in its trunk, and drove some 75 miles east and north along the smooth curve of the great Lake Michigan to reach the sandy slopes of Warren Dunes State Park in Sawyer, Michigan.
Michigan is piled high with sand dunes that have formed along the shores of the lake: in all, over 275,000 acres, or nearly one percent of the total land area of the state, is covered in the grassy up and down terrain of dune formations. We drove all that way so that we could go camping in the shadow of several of those dunes. And while we were there, scrambling step by slippery step up a sand dune as steep as a cliff and digging our toes into the cool, crumbling sand of the beach (or at least my toes; Ross's stayed safe inside his socks), I realized that not only did I not know how a sand dune forms, or what brings a beach into being—I barely understood the source of sand itself. What was it made of? What forces created it, and how far had it traveled, if at all, to come here? I had no knowledge, in any deep way, of the nature of what I was standing on. In case this describes you as surely as it did me last Saturday, I thought I'd share with you the things I've gathered since.
This is how it goes. It turns out that the definition of sand is, like the substance itself, a little fluid. The American Heritage Dictionary claims sand consists of "small, loose grains of worn or disintegrated rock." But how small is small? Wonderfully, there is an official sedimentologist-approved range, which is precisely 0.0625 to 2.0 millimeters in diameter. It may not sound like it, but that allows for a tremendous variety of amplitudes. Sand is not composed of a uniformity of pretty, machined beads, each identical to the next: it is pinprick small; splinter-small; tiny shard of broken shotglass-small; small as a cumin seed; small as the ovary in a female Sora found in the fall. It occurs to me that a handful of sand is, in this one odd way, like the sixth grade classes I once taught, tumbling between childhood and adolescence: some sweet faces so tiny you could still cup their whole cheek in one palm, some stretching so tall they were almost all the way out of their skins.
Now, what about this "disintegrated rock"? It's true that most of the sand upon the earth comes from igneous rocks. These are formed when red-hot magma beneath the earth's surface collects and hardens in small pockets underground, or when volcanic eruptions exhale molten lava that later cools. You can remember this, as I will from now on, by thinking of the word "ignite," which has the same Latin root meaning "fiery." Glaciers can mash these rocks down to crumbs, as a stale loaf of bread might fall to fragments beneath the heel of your hand. Even if this doesn't happen, the rocks, exposed to the whipping, grinding, rubbing, licking touch of wind and rain—geology as foreplay—are bound to erode over time. Bits break off, and are blown or washed by the same wind and rain into rivers; the rivers, in turn, carry them to a sea or to a lake, polishing them into rounder and rounder grains as they go.
But there are other ways in which sand can be formed, other materials out of which it can be made. On tropical beaches, vast stretches of sand are formed out of the calcium carbonate of crumbling skeletons and shells once belonging to marine life like snails, crabs, coral, and the beautiful, surreal unicellular organisms called Foraminifera that litter the ocean floor. This is sand as the fine, white ash of death. Sand can form slowly, gently, when minerals formerly dissolved in seawater lay themselves down in a crusty powder on the shore; it can burst forth in an intemperate rainfall of new granules when a falling meteorite violently liquefies the rock where it touches down on the earth.
Even ordinary sand, "worn or disintegrated rock" sand, is full of multiplicity, pulsing with elemental force. Some grains, made of iron, are dark and heavy, like small black jewels; they hunger for each other and are drawn to magnets. Most, made of quartz, are light and bright, like bits of glass. If you could run an electric current through them, their piezoelectric property would cause them to expand and contract like minute beating hearts in perfect rhythm; you could tell time by them. We do tell time by them. To let a palmful of sand run through your fingers—some grains of which, perhaps, are billions of years old—is to hear all the stories of the ancient earth, if you only knew how to listen.
Then there is the way sand grows into beaches, the way such tiny things—maybe as tiny as 0.0625mm! But for sure no bigger than 2.0mm!—build whole vistas that stretch for miles, and the fact that this happens grain by grain. Waves deposit sand particles incrementally on the edge of the shore as they break. Waves steal a little sand back into the water, too, as they retreat—but unless they are very big waves indeed, they draw away less than they bring, because their gentle downward flow is weaker than their rushing upward push.
I like knowing this about waves; their actions seem both ambitious and tentative. I think about the water pushing sand forward, pulling back, pushing forward, pulling back, and it reminds me that when you are trying to establish something new, it is okay if you take many steps along the way that seem to move you backward. It is part of the rhythm of creation to do so. And in this way, little by little, a beach is built like the one we stood on last Saturday. If ever there was a testament to the power of small individual acts to accomplish great things, it is not the acorn growing into a vast tree; it is sand, forming the universe out of specks.
So much for beaches, formed by waves; as for dunes, like the bluff I clambered up, so vertiginous it took my breath away and left me marveling and dizzy, their story is of the wind. Once sand that has gathered on the shore has dried enough to blow about, a steady breeze moving in from the water shifts some of it further inland. It doesn't take much force. A gentle zephyr of 9 or 10 miles per hour will do it—just enough to move the leaves in the trees or blow a twig lightly across the ground. The wind, after all, isn't trying to move the whole dune into place at once. Grain by grain. That's how the world is built.
Breathed on by a breeze, sand moves in a funny sort of hopping dance called saltation, from the Latin saltus: "leap." (Think of somersault!) The force of the wind gives each grain enough momentum to jump, in a shallow parabola, a little distance upwards and along; as one grain does so, it loosens other grains, which themselves bounce into the air, and so on and so on and so on.
Eventually, saltating sand grains (I had to whisper that phrase aloud to myself just then; it was as lovely on the tongue as I imagined it would be) falling one upon the other form enough of a habitat for hardy beach grasses like reed and marram to grow in. It is these roots, at last, that stop the migrating sand. Without the roots, it would keep hopping forever, wild as sown oats. But moored by vegetation, the sand stops. It settles. It grows higher. Higher. Higher. And there it is, a dune.
I love that. Something so stately, built out of a million grains of skipping, prancing, frolicking sand, given legs by the wind.
Of course, a dune is no permanent thing. It reacts to its surroundings, changes its shape from moment to moment with the shifting wind and the heavy steps of those who walk upon it.
I thought last Saturday of the dunes of rose and olive and ultramarine sand in Goab, the Desert of Colors. Goab is a place from my childhood. It is formed, in Michael Ende's extraordinary novel The Neverending Story , out of the crumbling leaves and flowers of a fabulous Night Forest that dissolves into dust with the sunrise. The sands of Goab are new every morning, and yet their essence remains so much the same that the mighty lion Grogaman can find among Goab's shifting dunes the very place where he stood the day before. Gazing down at my footsteps on the dunes, I wished to be Grogaman. I wished to know the sand that well. It is, I think, worth knowing.
In the end we spent only a single day and night on the Michigan dunes, cradled in the courting cries of crickets and frogs, the laughter of friends, and the sputter and crack of our own warm fire. I wanted it to go on forever, to keep going to sleep beneath all that old light—the kind I can't see here in the glittering nighttime of the big city.
But there is this, and it is no small thing: Sand clings. It accumulates. It travels. It leaps into any space large enough (small enough) to hold it. So when I did get home, this is what I did. I tipped as many tiny crystals out of my sneakers as would have been required to build a hundred or more new worlds. I'm saving them, for now. You never know when you'll need that kind of seed.

360 degree feedback, also known as 'multi-rater feedback', is the most comprehensive appraisal where the feedback about the employees' performance comes from all the sources that come in contact with the employee on his job. 360 degree respondents for an employee can be his/her peers, managers (i.e. superior), subordinates, team members, customers, suppliers/ vendors - anyone who comes into contact with the employee and can provide valuable insights and information or feedback regarding the "on-the-job" performance of the employee.
The 360-degree evaluation is a common tool in human resource management. Simply put, it is a mechanism for evaluating someone's performance based on feedback from everyone with whom the individual comes in contact—supervisors, coworkers, partners, subordinates, the general public. It is a method of collecting input from many sources in an employee's environment.
This can be a powerful tool. Each of wants to know how we're doing in our work. This method of collecting evaluative input is an excellent source of motivation for employees because it provides a truly honest assessment of how the employee and her performance are viewed by a variety of constituents.
This type of feedback helps employees see themselves as others see them and allows them to seriously examine their behavior. It can reveal areas in which employees are performing particularly well and those areas in which there is room for improvement. It provides information of which neither the employee nor the supervisor may be aware. Specific input allows employees to adjust their performance. The most challenging aspect of the 360-degree evaluation is the evaluators' concern about confidentiality. When implementing this type of evaluation, it's best to assure other employees that what they share will remain strictly confidential. Likewise, explain to each employee that he will be evaluated by many people, including those who know his work best.
This review process is also helpful for the supervisor. It can provide a more accurate assessment of an employee's performance and help eliminate accusations of favoritism. The 360-degree process provides greater objectivity. And because the feedback is submitted anonymously, it provides a supervisor with the most unbiased and accurate information from which to draw performance conclusions. Most people are not able to see clearly how their performance is either enhancing the work situation for others or detracting from it. This performance evaluation method can help reveal these areas and allow us to improve the way we do our job, thereby creating greater harmony and better productivity in the workplace. The 360-degree evaluation will help employees identify their strengths so they can build on them at the same time it addresses their skill gaps. It is a process that leads to continuous learning, team building, growing self-confidence and improved productivity.
Self appraisal gives a chance to the employee to look at his/her strengths and weaknesses, his achievements, and judge his own performance. Superior's appraisal forms the traditional part of the 360 degree appraisal where the employees' responsibilities and actual performance is rated by the superior. Subordinates appraisal gives a chance to judge the employee on the parameters like communication and motivating abilities, superior's ability to delegate the work, leadership qualities etc. Also known as internal customers, the correct feedback given by peers can help to find employees' abilities to work in a team, co-operation and sensitivity towards others.
Self assessment is an indispensable part of 360 degree appraisals and therefore 360 degree appraisals have high employee involvement and also have the strongest impact on behavior and performance. It provides a "360-degree review" of the employees' performance and is considered to be one of the most credible performance appraisal methods.360 degree appraisal is also a powerful developmental tool because when conducted at regular intervals (say yearly) it helps to keep a track of the changes others' perceptions about the employees. A 360 degree appraisal is generally found more suitable for the managers as it helps to assess their leadership and managing styles. This technique is being effectively used across the globe for performance appraisals. Some of the organizations following it are Wipro, Infosys, and Reliance Industries etc.
360 feedback assessments are powerful tools for helping individuals improve, grow, and develop their interpersonal skills. Our assessment gathers information from several people about an individual's performance as seen by his/her boss, self, peers, direct reports, and customers. Traditional performance evaluations are subjective and one-sided. Most traditional evaluation systems are ineffective in providing honest and objective feedback.
A better way is the 360-Degree feedback assessment process. No matter what position you hold in a company, it is important to understand how others (boss, team, peers and customers) perceive your effectiveness as a leader--strengths and weaknesses. 360-Degree input from supervisors, co-workers, clients and direct reports is valuable in improving organizational and individual performance.
The process is simple. We provide you a secure webpage where the questions are listed. The rated individual scores him/herself, along with their boss, and peer group. After all scorings are received, we provide you and the rated individual a printed report or access to a webpage listing the ratings summary.
360 performance rating system is not a validated or corroborated technique for performance appraisal.
With the increase in the number of raters from one to five (commonly), it become difficult to separate, calculate and eliminate personal biasness and differences.
It is often time consuming and difficult to analyze the information gathered.
The results can be manipulated by the employees towards their desired ratings with the help of the raters.
The 360 degree appraisal mechanism can have a adversely effect the motivation and the performance of the employees.
360 degree feedback – as a process- requires commitment of top management and the HR, resources(time, financial resources etc), planned implementation and follow-up.
360 degree feedback can be adversely affected by the customers' perception of the organisation and their incomplete knowledge about the process and the clarity o f the process.
360 degree feedback helps you finding the easy way to establish, that make it more prominent and efficient, 360 degree feedback system.
360 degree feedback main effect is the perceptions is reality and this process helps the individuals understand how others perceive them, uncover blind spot, the feedback is essential for learning.


OTTAWA - Small businesses called for a speedy end to rotating walkouts launched Monday in four cities by Canada Post employees, citing concern that a prolonged strike could chew into their profits ahead of the busy holiday shopping season.
"The bad news for Canada Post workers is that every time they even threaten a strike, more small business customers move to use alternatives, many never returning to Canada Post."
The union said almost 9,000 workers in the Greater Toronto Area would walk off the job Tuesday at 12:01 am ET.
"For us to reach any agreements, Canada Post has to talk about the changing nature of postal work and the issues that stem from the growth of parcels," Mike Palecek, CUPW national president, said in a statement Monday night.
"We need to address health and safety concerns and precarious work, as well as gender equality. We will stay at the bargaining table and on the picket line for as long as it takes to get a fair deal for our members."
"The union's rotating strike will, therefore, have a significant impact on our operations," spokesman Jon Hamilton said. "Canada Post will make every effort to minimize the impact."
"It's time for Canada Post to bring its spending under control instead of handing growing costs on to consumers and businesses who are already facing postal rate hikes in January," he said.
"We're looking to both sides to be reasonable and come to a quick compromise."
"There's nothing moving in Edmonton at all," she said.
"All the trucks have been waved off and they've been respecting our lines -- much appreciated."
"We always have back to work legislation in our tool box, (but) we're not anticipating using that in the near future."


Since 1889, the Munro name has been synonymous with medical care in Jackson. Doctor David has modeled his practice as a patient centered medical home.
David B. Munro, M.D., has practiced medicine in Jackson since 1981, and his father and grandfather were both surgeons in Jackson. His grandfather, Colin Munro, M.D., was one of the first surgeons in the area. His father, Nathan Munro, M.D. practiced surgery in Jackson for over 35 years.
When Joshua Munro became a doctor, he not only followed in his father Doctor David Munro's footsteps, but in those of his grandfather and great-grandfather. In June 2009, Joshua finished his three-year family medicine residency and joined his father's practice. Both physicians believe in patient education, an individualized care plan and in carrying on the long family tradition of medical care excellence.
The practice is among the first in the state to be paperless with an integrated Electronic Medical Records system since 2005.
Their practice is a full spectrum facility including Digital Radiology, Mammography, Bone-density, Electrocardiogram, ABI, Pulmonary function, OSHA certified Audiometry, Drug Screenings, laboratory collection, Protime Clinic, and Minor Surgery.

Outwitting Squirrels Squirrels are comparable to marmite, you either love or hate them! Although we enjoy their flurriness of activity, squirrels pose danger to home gardens and bird feeders. Often you might be at pains on how to stop squirrels from getting into your bird feeders and scaring away your favorite birds. Their determination can result in major property damage and during their breeding season, extreme noise. Being natural gnawers squirrels have ever growing incisors that require constant chewing for trimming, maintenance, and sharpening. Due to their need to constantly feed, squirrels can be intelligent, insatiable, and difficult to deter. These rodents can climb steel poles and leap distances of over 10 feet high, voiding the effectiveness of steel traps. Their impressive tails equip squirrels with excellent balance to naturally elude trap wires. Having the ability to swim and dig hiding places makes squirrels extremely efficient at avoiding any control measures. Often, instituting controls against squirrels is a critical challenge to many people. But what can you do to distract squirrels away from bird feeders or tables? Suggestions outlined here can assist you control the menace. You could consider employing a variety of methods to eradicate the squirrel menace. Second, you can opt to construct a wooden squirrel feeder or a picnic table squirrel feeder. Finally, if squirrels prove aggressive, you could hire the local squirrel control agency to eradicate the menace or offer advice. Research online or consult your local directory to find out whom to contact.
Avail yourself of the following suggestions if you have chosen to go by the first method. Purchase squirrel proof bird feeders and hang them on poles 10 feet away from any trees or branches. Before purchasing squirrel proof feeders, assess their implications. Some squirrel proof brands have lifetime guarantees, but fail to protect bird feed from squirrels.
You can limit the rodent's ability to access bird feed by placing cylindrical mesh guards over tube feeders. Mesh guards are available in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit the specific bird feeder you need to protect. Consider purchasing weight activated feeders that close feeding ports automatically when a squirrel mounts up on them. Weight activated feeders utilize a motorized perch that spins squirrels away from the feeder, depriving them the chance to enjoy your birds precious feed. With time, squirrels realize the futility of feeding from a weight activated feeder and leave it, well, alone! Additionally, you can use squirrel domes or baffles to restrict access to hanging bird feeders. Using slinkies and greasing feeder poles can substantially protect your bird feeders from leaping squirrels. Try to ground feed your birds as a deterrence measure. Desist from hanging your bird feeders. Rather, you should cover your feeding trays with feeding guardians. As squirrels are very cunning, select feed guardians that have the smallest meshes for maximum deterrence.

Expanding the level of understanding of nuclear power, the hazards/long term ramifications of nuclear waste and pollution is vital to our survival here on Earth. This is a global issue. It is a local issue. With 3 possibly more reactors melting down in Fukushima we are all experiencing a higher level of radiation in our lives. It is in the eco-sphere.

text: Q: Android: map fragment and sliding menu so I m trying to add a sliding menu to a mapfragment activity that is displaying a google map. I have found some libraries for sliding menu on github but it's hard to use. Thus, I am wondering if there a a more feasible way (tutorials...) to add a sliding menu to a mapfragment. Thank you in advance.


Towards Privacy-Preserving Mobile Apps: A Balancing Act.
As mobile apps are increasingly becoming data-driven, these apps tend to collect much app usage data to carry out their promised utilities and enhance user experiences. Unfortunately, some highly sensitive information in the data provides little or no benefit towards delivering the apps' utilities. For instance, for an app whose purpose is to show video game trailers, it is unnecessary to request and send its users' phone number and contact list to a remote server. There is a strong need for a framework to help protect users' app usage data while retaining the app's utility efficacy (e.g., the number of enabled features).
