It should also stay alert about introduction of caffeine production and consumption related policies and regulations by health authorities. Many commercial beekeepers monitor mite levels by applying a strong dose of amitraz to a hive, and then checking for the mite drop on a sticky board the next day.
It served the initial objective of making sure that I understand a topic by forcing me to lay it out in writing in comprehensive form.
Identify the Stages First identify the cue, routine, and reward that lead to your habit. It was written by Penn State entomologist Dr. Of interest is that a study by Botias  suggests that the effectiveness of Apivar strips against varroa may be lessened if the colony is infected by nosema.
Most of the open access journal articles can be cited with proper reference, which boosts the prospects of research. These trials provide me with valuable data on the colony and queen survival rates in carefully monitored groups of hives. This is provision also meant to transmit and link to the subsequent publications in the same domain.
Bispecific antibodies are being developed for treatment of solid tumors and hematologic malignancies, for virus neutralization, for treatment of inflammatory diseases, gene mediated therapy, and for immunodiagnostic applications.
Instead, they are shifting to options with lower prices. The problem with this assessment method is that if your mites start to develop resistance to the chemical, you could be blindsided by an undetected mite buildup.
There would be no expected distribution by vaporization of the product within the hive. An iterative, tiered approach with respect to test compounds, test systems, bioanalysis, and mathematical systems analysis has been adopted to evaluate existing models, and develop new models that can provide validated test systems, with respect to the prediction of specific forms of DILI and further elucidation of mechanisms that relate to idiosyncratic DILI.
I found some data from early testing of amitraz strips Fig. Additionally, the figure for contact in the citation above is sort of meaningless, since it does not specify dose per bee. In essence, my operation could be considered to be a pesticide-free control group which can be compared to typical operations receiving much higher degrees of pesticide and synthetic miticide exposure.
Physicians, researchers and medical associations have continued to focus on developing methods and programs to treat as many patients with HCV as possible, especially injection drug users who have a high prevalence for transmission.
Pesticides and Neurodegenerative Disease: And what has this got to do with amitraz? Before proceeding to the list, I suggest you reading the following piece: Apivar is designed to be an extended-release treatment that paralyzes the mites to the extent that they are unable to reproduce; the strips are designed for full a day treatment.
He demonstrated one of the treatments — radiofrequency ablation — on a cow liver Friday. Have their bees developed resistance to the neonics? For the last two years, Rogers, 60, said his doctors have diagnosed him and have cleared him of any cancer four times, but his recent diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma, one of the most common forms of liver cancer, was much more serious than the rest.

What is it about winter months and our need to cover ourselves in rolls of grandiose fabrics, godzillion sequins and layers of foundation.
And on that same note also suddenly need to drink out of goblets and eat off chargers?
I have no idea, interestingly enough, I for one cannot plan a winter wardrobe without the essential velvet this and velvet that. Do I feel royal even in my purple velvet suit ..hmm sadly no, not really, but I can say that I damn well feel good in mine. Very rock and roll chic, Jagger chic!!!!!

February short movie reviews
The Jane Austen Book Club (twice – double booked, not enthusiasm) – I am operating on the assumption that the book was better, because if it wasn't they wouldn't have made a movie. Some good moments shoehorned into a woodenly-scripted frankenstein's monster of preachy literary allusion which devalued Austen, failed to succeed in pointing out that some men like Austen, made cringe worthy attempts to do so and ended with cheese. However Hugh Dancy's programmer, SF-geek, over-caffeinated, alternative-energy character was really great, and I could almost sit through the movie a third time for him alone. Among many things, it was great to see an avid SFF reader (first met at an SF convention) with a slightly bizarre and intense outlook on life who was funny (and true!) but not made fun of and who succeeds in promoting science fiction, female authors of science fiction, science-fiction-as-real-books and persuading another character to stay up all night reading Ursula Le Guin and prompt my sister to ask if I had any of her books. That blew me away.
Juno (again) – Still like it. It falls somewhere between Thankyou For Smoking and My Girl.
St Peter's Chorale – Some beautiful pieces, including a haunting Australian composition by Sarah-I-did-not-write-her-name-down in which the voices at times sound like didgeridoos.
The King of Kong – I won tickets to a preview screening, but it is worth paying to see even, and perhaps especially, if you don't know much about video gaming. Well told, with marvellous characters who at times are so appalling that it is a shock to remember they are not fictional characters at all, but real people (allowing for a documentary director's viewpoint), and often very funny. The story continues after the credits.
Moulin Beige – I'm not sure cabaret is my thing, but there were some inspired moments (the Two Men in a Box skit which felt like something out of Cirque du Soleil, but without acrobatics or a budget) and The Joynt has excellent chips.
There Will Be Blood – This would have been a better movie if they kept the original title. It would have drawn it together thematically and given it relevance instead of just being a bald statement of the plot. It's like calling Die Hard "There Will Be Sardonic One-Liners" or Juno "There Will Be A Baby" or Snakes on a Plane… oh wait. Only There Will Be Blood sounds like a pirate movie, so more like, "Avast! A Swaddled Infant" or "Arrr There Will Be Defeated Terrorists". Deb disagrees with me on this. I am not ruling out my opinion may be influenced by the lingering disappointment of discovering (before I saw the movie) that the title was not a subtle allustion to The Princess Bride. There was some vivid acting, but though never boring the movie was not fulfilling. It reminded me of The Aviator, in which acting calibre could not redeem a movie that otherwise only had its historical overview of a phenomenon to recommend it. But Paul Dano (Little Miss Sunshine) was awesome! That boy can act!

The boy who can act is, I see, going to be in 'Where the Wild Things Are', as Alexander. Is this the book by Maurice Sendak? Or is that going to be another disappointment?
Interesting about the Jane Austen Book Club. A colleague of mine read it and hated it for some of those very reasons – he said the characters were horrible people who were obviously impressed with how literati they were (or maybe that was the author?). The word 'pretentious' was foremost in the review.
But a SFF character that was *good*? Maybe I will see it one day, just for that.

I too enjoyed Hugh Dancy's character! I also thought Emily Blunt did a fantastic job as Purdie. The others were not so interesting.
Thanks for The King of Kong review. I know a couple of people who want to see that.
Deborah on March 11, 2008 at 10:26 pm said:
Yeah, but what were the outfits like?
/Karen/: I agree, Emily Blunt was good, but mismatched to the other performances.
Deb: Outfits? Probably most memorable in King of Kong :) The Jane Austen Book Club's costumes were most noteable for a mid-street quick-change and an illustration of the catch-22 guys can find themselves in when in comes to slogans on t-shirts. Also, there were some nice cardigans. Oh, and yes, Purdie had some sweet dresses.

finally got to see the infamous There Will Be Blood… Daniel-Day Lewis' performance was top-notch. He takes well to the overbearing, violent father-figure role — he also did this in Gangs of New York.

Cover Flow may cost Apple $208.5 million in damages
Apple has been ordered to pay $208.5 million in damages to Mirror Worlds, LLC …
Jacqui Cheng - Oct 4, 2010 3:23 pm UTC
Apple has been ordered to pay more than $200 million to Mirror Worlds, LLC after having lost a patent infringement case brought by the company. Apple was found to be in violation of Mirror Worlds' "document streaming" patents, which Apple allegedly used in its implementation of Cover Flow and Time Machine.
Mirror Worlds brought the lawsuit against Apple in 2008, accusing the company of infringing on four patents, three of which covered a "document stream operating system." The fourth patent extended the other three, describing an information management system based on the document streams.
The document streams outlined in the patents would contain many different types of documents with a similar theme, and would be organized in chronological order and displayed in a pile. Sound a lot like Cover Flow and Time Machine? That's because it is. Anyone who's familiar with the visual document layout of those two technologies knows that they use the same concept: visually displaying documents in a pile that you can scroll through (as pictured above).
The case went all the way to trial, and a federal jury in eastern Texas agreed with Mirror Worlds on three of the four patents (the fourth was tossed earlier this year). According to Bloomberg, Mirror Worlds' founder David Gelernter said he was "tremendously grateful" to his lawyers for their performance, but neither he nor his lawyers commented further on the verdict.
$208.5 million is a drop in the bucket for a company with Apple's bankroll, but it has to be an irritation for a company that has been implementing similar document display concepts in Hypercard for far longer than the patents ever existed.

When the U.S. Women's National Team was made in Washington
by Frank MacDonald
Every four years there's an expectation that the United States will win the FIFA Women's World Cup, and that was no different in 2015, especially after America advanced to the final.
That expectation, that belief, is very much grounded in history and the U.S. National Team's conquests early on. The reason we truly believe we will win is because, early on, we did.
Anson Dorrance, right, has made UNC women's soccer the foremost collegiate sports dynasty with 22 national championships. (Courtesy UNC)
In 1991 Anson Dorrance took a young team to China and promptly won the first World Cup. A few years later they won the first Olympic Games and in 1999, of course, the USWNT doubled their number of World Cup stars at the Rose Bowl.
Dorrance has long since relinquished the reins of the national team. Yet he is still going strong, still churning out championship teams at Chapel Hill. North Carolina's women's soccer dynasty counts 22 national titles in his 29 years.
While in the Seattle area for a special session at Northwest Soccer Camp, he took time to share why Washington state played such a prominent role in building that winning belief, both for Carolina and the National Team.
"What people don't understand now is that the highest level of the adult women's game in this country, was played in this Seattle-Tacoma area," says Dorrance. "If you know the history of the senior game in the U.S., you would say many of the top coaches and players for the men came from St. Louis. Well, back in the day, the women's game went through Seattle and this area."
The first National Team coach was Seattle's Mike Ryan. Dorrance had wanted the job, but Ryan got the nod on the strength of his teams winning three consecutive club championships.
"I remember the great teams he had and the great athletes he coached," Dorrance says. "It was a dynasty."
Seattle's Mike Ryan was named the first USWNT coach after his clubs won three straight national titles. (Courtesy Ryan Family)
With relatively few women's collegiate programs out West, let alone in Washington, Dorrance began recruiting the state's top players to Carolina, beginning with Dori Kovanen in 1981 and Joan Dunlap in 1984. And when Dorrance succeeded Ryan as coach in 1986 he inherited a squad whose nucleus was rooted in Washington.
At one point in his first years at the helm, Dorrance fielded a USWNT lineup featuring six Washingtonians, and that after shedding Ryan's top protégé.
"Sharon McMurtry was one of his superstars; just classy with a remarkable skill set," Dorrance recalls. "If she had been young enough, she would've been one of the players in that '91 World Cup. Unfortunately a lot of (Ryan's) players peaked a little too early to be dominant in 1991."
Still, four players from the Seattle area made this final cut for China: Michelle Akers, Amy Allmann, Lori Henry and Shannon Higgins. Henry and Higgins had starred for UNC while Akers and Allmann attended then-powerhouse Central Florida. Henry was a captain for both the Tar Heels and National Team. Akers won the first Hermann Award (the Heisman of college soccer) for women in 1988 and Higgins followed suit a year later.

"(Seattle) was the women's soccer hotbed, and these were absolutely elite players," exclaims Dorrance. "Four players from Washington were on that roster, certainly one of the most well represented areas in the U.S., and two players among the best in the country were on that world championship team."
Akers would finish as winner of the tournament's Golden Boot, scoring 10 goals. She struck for both goals in the final versus Norway, each set-up by Higgins passes. Afterward, outside the locker room in Guangzhou, Washington's finest posed for a group photo. It would be the final National Team action for Allmann, Henry and Higgins.
"(Higgins) knew how to hurt you when she got the ball. I loved coaching her," says Dorrance, favorably comparing Morgan Brian to Higgins' "tactical genius." "One of the smartest, most tactical players I ever trained.," he adds.
Higgins was then the newly-named George Washington coach and would later take over at Maryland. In 2002 she became the third female player inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.
Of course Akers would battle on for nearly nine more years. She starred again on the victorious Olympic team and was one of the top three players at the '99 World Cup. She was inducted into the hall of fame in 2004 and FIFA pronounced Akers co-player of the century.
"There's no one like Akers," asserts Dorrance, adding it would take an "incredible genetic freak" to replicate all that Akers was to the game.
Originally an attacking midfielder, he moved her to striker to find a spot for a young Julie Foudy. Later, Tony DiCicco deployed her in defensive midfield.
"She was absolutely brilliant in every position," judges Dorrance, who says no one on the current U.S. team approaches Akers in impact.
"One of the best center forwards of all-time. One of the top attacking center midfielders of all-time and one of the top defensive midfielders of all-time. And if she'd moved back, she'd be one of the great backs of all time. She was complete, and she was off the charts in every respect. "
Akers, Allmann, Henry and Higgins are among the local players currently featured in a Washington State Legends of Soccer exhibit currently on display at THE NINETY. The new Sounders FC community space, located at 409 Occidental Ave. S., is open for selected events and before each home match.

Occasionally we as GPs may be faced with treating patients who arrive in the UK from abroad. Some of us, depending on where we practice, may experience this scenario more commonly than others and one question that stands out is: "Can you treat these foreign patients free on the NHS?" The NHS website offers some guidance on this (click here), stating that "regardless of how long you're staying or your nationality, you're entitled to free emergency NHS treatment from a primary care practice, such as a GP surgery."
One vulnerable and tricky group of people to treat are migrants and asylum seekers, and this topic was explored in a recent publication in BMJ Open and covered in a recent univadis GP News article (click here).
The article reports: "Migrants newly arriving in the UK need better access to GPs and primary care services, say experts from the Health Protection Agency." It adds that "students and asylum seekers in particular should be encouraged to register".
As GPs, we should make a point of welcoming this group of patients who may have complex medical needs. As strangers in a new country, it can be overwhelming trying to adapt to a new system and culture. Finding and registering with a GP could be a potentially difficult process, particularly if that patient is not conversant with spoken English.
In terms of rules and regulations, it can be a little confusing for us GPs, but a document on the Department of Health website is fairly clear (click here). It states: "Like other UK residents, people with an outstanding application for refuge in the UK are entitled to use NHS services without charge." The Citizens Advice Bureau has also issued some useful guidance (click here).
I think that most GPs are more than happy to treat foreign nationals who are visitors to our country, but we need to have clear and easily accessible information to cover all eventualities. There are also political overtones in this situation and so we need crystal clear and comprehensive guidance from the political centre that can be easily found online.

Job Description for an Oil Well Gauger
American mining digs up more than $80 billion in minerals a year, the U.S. Geological Survey says. That includes gold, copper, iron ore, salt, zinc, sand and gravel for construction, and crushed stone, which is the biggest moneymaker. Mining engineers design mines and figure out how to extract minerals efficiently.
The average mining engineer earns a $93,150 annual salary, which translates into $47.77 per hour.
Mining Engineer Description
The many types of jobs in the mining industry depend on mining engineers to open up the Earth for them. Mining engineers, Anglo American says, create systems to locate, extract and transport minerals out of the ground. At the best mining companies to work for, mining engineers prioritize worker safety and the environment while doing their jobs.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) says mining engineers often specialize in a single mineral or metal such as gold or salt. The job duties they may handle include:
Designing mines, both open-pit and underground.
Overseeing the construction of mine shafts and tunnels.
Working out systems for transporting minerals to processing plants.
Preparing technical reports.
Monitoring production and evaluating how effective mine operations are.
Keeping the mine operating safely, with minimum environmental damage.
Planning for land reclamation after the mine closes.
Mining engineers may work with geoscientists and other professionals to evaluate ore deposits, develop new mining equipment or develop methods to separate out desired minerals from everything else they dig up. Geological engineers have some of the same job duties, but also work to locate and evaluate possible mining sites.
The BLS says some mining engineers work in offices for mining companies or engineering services firms. Others work on site where the action happens, at a gold mine or sand and gravel quarry for instance. Getting to the mine can require a good deal of travel and overtime, as well as prolonged stays away from home.
Mining Engineer Education Required
If you're wondering how to get a job in coal mining as an engineer, know that the BLS says employers usually require mining engineers to have a four-year degree. Few schools offer mining engineering degrees but degrees in geoscience or in civil or environmental engineering are usually also acceptable. Relevant college courses include geology, thermodynamics, mine design and mine safety.
Master's degree programs in mining engineering typically last two years. The courses are specialized, covering topics such as mineral resource development and mining regulations. A skilled mining engineer needs good analytical, problem-solving and decision-making skills. The work involves lots of math, and writing clear reports and recommendations is a key job skill.
You can work as a mining engineer without any sort of licensing, but you can advance your career by eventually acquiring a Professional Engineering (PE) license. As a PE, you can manage other engineers, sign off on their projects and provide services to the public. Getting your license requires racking up several years of mining engineer experience, then passing the state exam.
Mining Engineer Salary
Does coal mining pay well? The answer depends. The average mining engineer earns an annual salary of $93,150 per year, according to Talent. That translates to a mining engineer salary per hour of $47.77. When you're just starting out, the typical salary is $77,500 but, over time, your salary might rise as high as $125,000. Mining engineer pay varies by company, location, education and other factors.
Roughly 28 percent of mining engineers work for engineering services. The next largest employer is mining companies, then the U.S. government. The field is expected to grow about 2 percent per year through 2031, the BLS says. That's slower than average, with about 500 job openings expected each year.

Neverland Ranch : Nissan Skyline GT-R Stories
Wasabi picture from a photo shoot with Sport Compact Car many years ago. Pretty sure we took this R34 to Neverland Ranch
The last Waffle House story was popular, so time for another Skyline GT-R related story. This one is odd, and it is Skyline GT-R related. So at one point in time, we were invited to go to Neverland Ranch, yes Michael Jackson's ranch. See, we live in Los Angeles, and anything is possible here. Not even sure of the exact year it happened. Michael Jackson, and Neverland Ranch are obviously some controversial topics, but this is just my story of going there.
A good friend, and photographer friend of ours James Louis, was friends with the Jacksons, and specifically Siggy Jackson, Jackie Jackson's son. One day, Siggy asked us if we wanted to go to his uncles ranch for a concert. Now this is on the level of never expect to happen. It was a place that about everyone had heard about, but actually going was a little outside the realm of what you ever think.
The property included three railroads: one 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge named "Neverland Valley Railroad", with a steam locomotive named Katherine after his mother (Crown 4-4-0 (2B), built in 1973), and two coaches. The other was a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge, with a C. P. Huntington replica locomotive made by Chance Rides.[19] There was also a custom-made private electric train that was purchased by Jackson for his own children Prince, Paris and Blanket. The train was manufactured in 2001 from a German company Elektro-Mobiltechnik. The train was set up in the yard at Neverland behind the main house and had 100 feet of track.[20]
There was also a Ferris wheel, Carousel, Zipper, Octopus, Pirate Ship, Wave Swinger, Super Slide, roller coaster, bumper cars, and an amusement arcade. The master closet also contained a secret safe room for security.
A couple of the guys from RB, Victor, Jeff, and myself brought an R34, and an R32 up to the ranch. We picked up Siggy, and drove up to Santa Barbara. Cameras were off limits, and this was pre any decent kind of cell phone camera.
Neverland Ranch was a surreal place. If you have ever been to Disneyland, you get the idea of the kind of surreal it was, as many of the same people were involved.
We drove up to the gate for this support concert – "You are Not Alone" with lots of people and media on each side of the entrance. Once we drove into the property, one of the first things I remember seeing, was a giraffe. It really was like another world. We were directed of where to park. Then we were fairly free to roam around the property.
We went into the movie theater, it was similar to an actual movie theater, there was a counter with candy and popcorn. Then inside there were a number of seats, and a few extra nooks for seating. More like an actual standalone theater than a room in your house. The train station was like the train station at Disneyland. Had a small candy store in it. There was a reptile house, with a lot of snakes, frogs, and lizards. An arcade. Even driving around was a ice cream truck, serving free ice cream. The big rides, the Ferris Wheel, and the go karts were not operating from what I remember. There were animals all around in different areas. The property was big.
We didn't meet, or talk to Michael. After wandering around for a few hours, there was a support concert for Michael. I really can't remember much of the concert, or leaving, but it was for sure an interesting part of my life, to say that I have been to Neverland Ranch. I am sad that I never got to go to Playboy Mansion, like Victor.

This programme is designed for muscle gain and for the maintenance of muscle weight without pain This training is similar to weight training, as it is focusing on the training and development of muscles. During the training the muscle tension causes hipertrophy in the muscles. It means cross-section growth depending on the tension intensity and interval length. During the programme long low-frequency muscle tensing and complete body exercises should be performed, focusing on one muscle group at a time with greater intensity and pulse width. According to the customer's needs the length of contractions and the resting period between these contractions can be varied. The exercises are excellent for maintaining our fitness level and are also great supplements of the conventional gym / fitness workouts, while easy on the joints.

Former US Olympian Bruce Jenner has broken the world record for getting one million Twitter followers in the shortest time after unveiling her female identity on the cover of Vanity Fair on Monday.
Caitlyn Jenner: Praised by Barack Obama for her "courage"
PR for the 65-year-old, now called Caitlyn Jenner, is headed by Alan Nierob of Rogers & Cowan, who has steered the public perception and careers of Hollywood clients including Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Robert Downey Jr., Mel Gibson and Rob Lowe.
It appears to have been a huge success, as Jenner surpassed Barack Obama's record by clocking up one million followers on Twitter in four hours and three minutes.
Twitter data revealed that there were 1.5 million mentions of Jenner yesterday, with Obama among those showing his support.
According to Spredfast, #callmecaitlyn was mentioned more than 200,000 times following the photo release.
Over the past year, Jenner's transition has been the subject of intense media interest, explored in an interview with Diane Sawyer and on the reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Jenner is the ex-spouse of Kris Kardashian, mother of Kim, who last year famously vowed to 'break the internet' by publishing revealing photos of herself.

Germany boasts having such a wonderful city as Dusseldorf. Located on the banks of the Rhine River, it stands for a modern and incredibly elegant city. It offers the tourists endless opportunities both for the sightseeing, shopping and entertainment. Within walking distance the visitors will find the well-known shopping street Konigsallee and the oldest quarter of the city – Altstadt, famous for a great number of pubs and home-brew taverns and usually called "the longest bar in the world". The tour guides from PrivateGuide suggest you to stroll along the Rhine embankment in order to admire both the Rhine and the art nouveau facades of Oberkassel.
The tourists long to visit North Rhine-Westphalia government building to enjoy the magnificent view of the whole the city, neighboring countryside, and the industrialized river. When you will be tired after the sightseeing tours, organized by personal guides, pay attention to the parks of Dusseldorf, considered a pleasant haven. Being a true German city, Dusseldorf also houses a number of excellent Japanese restaurants and shops, which are really worth visiting. Do not miss the boundary-pushing architecture of Dusseldorf. The local guides show you several old castles, churches, and a striking Buddhist temple. Being the center of banking, advertising, fashion and telecommunications Dusseldorf welcomes the tourists with some top art museums, among which Museum Insel Hombroich is one of the most visited. Moreover, the city has the renowned opera house, theatre and orchestra hall.
Dusseldorf invites you to feel comfortable. Your feet will surely get weary, because of numerous picturesque houses and idyllic places you need to see. With the help of personal guides you will be able to see as much as it is possible.


Of course the web page is really just a tool and it does you very little good unless you can find a way to get people to come visit it. In the real trick is to get the people who are going to want to buy the stuff that you are selling. It is not any use to get people who just click on the site and then decide that they are in the wrong place. So right now we are looking for an Atlanta seo agency to help us with the marketing. If you do not know, then SEO stands for search engine optimization and it is a very big business in this day and age. Say for example you want to buy something for your yard, some seeds or something like that. You get on your phone or your PC and you search for whatever it is that you want to buy. The big thing is where the web page appears, because no one is going to look past the first or second page. If your web page is not there, then you are clean out of luck.
Obviously this means that you need to find the way that people are going to search for just about any thing that you have on the site and figure out the keywords and so forth. The expensive thing to do is to just pay Google for the right to advertise on that page. Of course you have to outbid the other people who you are competing against. That is not going to be cheap, but obviously it is foolproof. It is a whole lot harder for you to figure out this sort of thing and there is not any point in doing it if you are going to have your own work to do.

Find out how a child-friendly approach to urban planning is vital for the creation of cities that work better for everyone. In our report Designing for urban childhoods, we explain how we can create healthier and more inclusive, resilient and competitive cities for all of us to live, work and grow up in. To showcase our thinking we compiled 40 global case studies, 14 recommended interventions and 15 actions for city leaders, developers and investors and built environment professionals.
The amount of time children spend playing outdoors, their ability to get around independently, and their level of contact with nature are strong indicators of how a city is performing, not just for children but for all generations of city dwellers. If cities fail to address the needs of children, they risk economic and cultural impacts as families move away.
The 'everyday freedoms' of time spent playing outdoors, children's ability to get around independently, and their level of contact with nature are strong indicators of how a city is performing, not just for children but for all generations of city dwellers. If cities fail to address the needs of children, they risk economic and cultural impacts as families move away. In the info-graphic below, we explore 14 ways to design child-friendly cities.
Less pollution, more green spaces, and the freedom to move about easily and safely – these are aspirations shared by city leaders and children alike. Although city leaders' influence is understood, the role played by children in urban improvements has largely gone unnoticed – until now.
We've found a child-friendly approach to urban planning is essential for the creation of inclusive cities that work better for everyone.
An integrated child-friendly approach reverses the idea that children's space should be discreet areas, such as playgrounds, and excluded from other parts of the public realm. It's not an either/or situation whereby an environment is child-friendly at the expense of any other group – instead, creating a 'children's infrastructure' network of spaces, streets, nature and design interventions provides an opportunity to create better cities and better outcomes for all generations.
Watch: This video looks at how child-friendly urban planning can help unite progressive agendas such as road safety, air pollution and sustainable behaviours, benefits which go beyond children and add value to all citizens' lives.
The consideration of children's needs is highly effective in unifying politicians, planners and developers, as well as communities and businesses, on many aspects of the urban environment. When children are the over-riding motivation for improvement, consensus about the specific measures needed is more readily reached.
For example, prioritising the benefit to children's lives was key to successfully delivering pedestrianisation in Tirana, Albania. In Ghent, Belgium, the city's child-youth vision is the only recent city planning policy document to win cross-party political support.
The case for shaping planning and urban design around the needs of children is clear. If developments are attractive to children and families, they appeal to all ages, automatically marketing themselves, as vibrant, safe, clean places.
Developers also realise the economic benefit. When areas provide for everyone, space can be saved. Management costs also tend to fall because the more a public space is used and shared by a community, the more behaviours in public spaces automatically improve.
Consequently, a child-friendly agenda is no longer simply a CSR requirement. Developers are beginning to see the benefits themselves.
In Utrecht, in the Netherlands our expertise was sought on how to develop a new residential neighbourhood that appeals to families. We worked with the developer to priortise interventions that meet children's needs. For example, we designed solutions that supported safe and active movement, creating a comfortable outdoor environment with spaces where the whole community could enjoy activities together in locations that caught the sun.
Other examples of developments where child-benefit has been put at the heart of plans and rationales include the mixed-use projects by Wesgroup at River District in Vancouver, Canada and Argent's King's Cross Central in London. They have both become highly desirable neighbourhoods to live, work and grow up in.
Prioritising children's perspectives is about looking at what affects young people most and using this as a framework to inform all aspects of planning, designing or managing cities because it benefits all of us.
For example, children are more at risk from cars as they find it hard to judge their speed and are less visible to drivers, while young lungs are more susceptible to life-long damage from pollution. With this knowledge, planners and policymakers can reconsider their traffic measures, prioritising the next generation's needs, which in turn benefits everyone.
Such an approach is visible in the draft London Plan which enshrines in its principles children's ability to get around and to play actively in the city, in contrast to playing in specified areas. It's a powerful shift – signifying that child-friendliness should be considered in policies for transport, health, environment, arts and culture.
Even small actions that take a child's perspectives can amount to big changes for the community.
For example, if all street furniture has to score highly on playability as well as functionality during procurement, a bench can become a destination; a child could crawl under it, climb over it, or swing on it, while accompanying parents are prompted to spend more time outside. Meanwhile, a requirement for a pavement to be 50cm wider could makes a street safer and more pleasant to walk along.
As our report shows, we believe child-friendly principles should be integrated from the outset for all aspects of urban projects. Only by taking such an approach will our cities be fit for our children to grow up in and for everyone to live and work in.

Worshipteam.com is the central place for all your planning and preparation for worship. It provides built in lyrics, chord charts and full length audio for thousands of popular songs. But you may be interested in getting additional resources for various team needs. For example, if you loved the recent worship song "Hosanna" by Paul Baloche and are interested in buying a full CD that includes that song, you can use the "Resources" tab on the song for options for find where you can get any specific product or resource related to that song. For example, the user below went to the "Hosanna" song page and moused-over the "Resources" tab and sees the following:
The "Resources" tab reveals various products that are related to that specific song. Clicking on the image of that product will launch a browser page to bring you to that resource should you be interested in purchasing it, as below:
Additionally, the resource tab includes a link to possible digital versions of the song, such as AmazonMP3 songs.

New Integrity Music Album added (Freddy Rodrigez/Light in the Darkness)
We added more great songs today with the addition of the album lyrics, chord charts and audio from Integrity Music's "Light in the Darkness" by Freddy Rodriguez.
Latest Hillsong Project Added
We continue to add content weekly into the site. This last week, we added Hillsong latest release from London "Hail To The King". The songs from that album are now live, with lyrics, chord charts and full audio online in Worshipteam.com.
New Song Usage Stats and Reports
WorshipTeam.com is constantly improving to include new user-requested functionality, along with our award-winning interface and licensed song database. Today, we launched a great new song stats interface, which allows you to generate custom reports for how your group, church or teams are using songs. This starts with nice easy, browseable statistics viewable from the main songs area. For example, when you are in the SONGS section, simply mouse-over the "…" trailer shown on each song listing. Now, in addition to the first segment lyrics appearing for the song, you see a "Last Used" date of the song, so you know how recently you used this song. This is shown below (where the user moused-over the "…" for the Paul Baloche song "Hosanna").
You'll note there is a tiny report icon next to the last used date as well. Clicking that icon will take you to a page that will show the instant history of that song and its usage in your group/teams.
But for song statistics to be truly helpful, you might want to know more extensive details on usage. To create a customized report of songs ranked by usage, use the "Actions" drop down menu in the main SONGS area and select the "Song Usage" icon, as below.
You will be given the ability to generate custom song usage reports for any reason. You can select your group/team filters, set a date range, and even output the results in various sort options, as below.
Once you click "Search" your report will be displayed, showing the songs, number of times used and the last date used in your report.
Each song name in this report can likewise be selected, and the user will see detailed statistics on that specific song within the report. The individual song statistics look like this:
Either the general multi-song usage report or the individual song statistics report can be printed if needed. We are very excited to add this new feature and hope you get a chance to try it out.

NEW: Instant Capo Chord Charts
April 5, 2009 by kgentes
WorshipTeam.com allows you to instantly create Capo chord charts that are both accurate and synchronized with the audio of the original song. This feature has been available for a few months, but some haven't known it, so we wanted to highlight this feature. Here is a quick example of how to create a Capo chord chart.
The song "Sweetly Broken" is a popular song (by Jeremy Riddle) that is recorded and commonly done in the key of B. Since "B" is not a guitar-friendly key, this can quickly be capoed to the key of A and rendered as a capo chord chart.
Step 1 – Unselect the "PITCH SHIFT AUDIO" checkbox on the left of the player control while displaying the song. This will ensure that the audio stays in the key of B while the chords are changed to a different key (for Capo playing).
Step 2 – Select the capoed key that you wish to play the song in. Selecting the key of A for Sweetly Broken will display the song in the new key without pitch-shifting the audio.
They chords are now in A for playing, while the audio is in B for listening.
Step 3 – Use the "Save As View" selection from the "Actions" menu. This will save the new view you have just created.
Step 4 – Verify the new view name. You will be prompted that the system recognizes that the audio and chords don't match and it thinks you may be trying to create a capo chord chart. Select "OK" on this prompt to verify that this current view will be saved as a capo chord chart.
Step 5 – The view is saved, labeled and it is now usable to add to sets and access any time. Additionally, it has a special note tag at the top of the chord chart that explains how to position and play the capo chord chart.
Nice work! You just created your first Capo chord chart. Now that capo chord chart is accessible as a view of that song for you whenever you need it. You only have to create it once and it is accessible from then on.

We have finished adding all of the latest Vineyard Music songs into the Worshipteam.com system library.

Sweet Charity is a difficult pill to swallow. The classic Broadway musical puts the character of Charity Hope Valentine, the eternally optimistic New York taxi dancer, centre stage only to heap humiliation and rejection on her.
The 1966 show, with a book by Neil Simon, is both of its time – it's shot through with a cynicism about the counterculture and is decidedly pre-feminist – and yet not exactly trapped in aspic – Charity is repeatedly promised things by the men she encounters only to be let down repeatedly and rejected for not meeting some impossible standard of purity.
Unlike the recent Watermill Theatre version, which updated the setting, or the 2016 Royal Exchange production, in which the role of Daddy Brubeck was played by a woman, or Leigh Silverman's stripped-back staging in New York, Bill Buckhurst's production is a frustratingly straight-forward one, revelling in but not interrogating the 1960s aesthetic, with its shimmering minidresses and clouds of cigarette smoke.
This is the first musical to be staged at Nottingham Playhouse in over a decade and the theatre has splashed out. Takis' design situates the band on two podiums on either side of the stage. Sections of the set rotate to form the Fandango ballroom and the opulent apartment of Vittorio Vidal, the Italian movie star who picks Charity up, complete with a headboard shaped like a golden swan. At times, the podiums light up to form the New York skyline.
At the heart of it all is Rebecca Trehearn's Charity. She gives a winning performance with a clear, strong voice and a smile that rarely falters, even when she's conveying how overwhelming it can feel to be caught in the headlamps of male attention, and how devastating it can be when that light dims. She contentedly chomps on a sandwich while hiding in the closet of Vidal's apartment, and her smile cracks only briefly when she's cast aside by neurotic Oscar (Marc Elliott, magnificently jittery), the man she hoped would whisk her off to the suburbs.
The best moments in the production are the group numbers with Charity's fellow hostesses. Choreographer Alistair David turns Big Spender into a robotic production line dance, with the women going through the motions, caressing their thighs, blank eyed. The poignancy of Something Better Than This is emphasised by the design, which counterpoints the 1960s glitz with grubby ceilings and dingy lodgings. Poverty keeps these women trapped.
But the production never completely gets to grips with the seediness and sadness of their predicament, the fact that these women spend their nights "defending themselves to music". The opening scene in which Charity is pushed into a lake is played for laughs and the way the musical equates virtue with suffering goes unpacked. Though Charity's hopes get dashed again and again, the tone of the show remains more sweet than bitter.
Yet Trehearn's mixture of resilience, vulnerability and amiability, is never less than captivating. Her performance, coupled with the sheer skill of the cast, elevates the production.


Easy cranberry rasam is very simple to make and it will be ready in just a few minutes.
Wash and puree the cranberries in a blender.
In a medium size sauce pan, heat up oil or ghee on medium flame. When the oil is hot add fenugreek seeds, mustard seeds and cumin seeds. When the mustard seeds are crackling, add red chili, hing and curry leaves. Turn down the flame to low and add rasam powder and let it fry just a few seconds. Make sure you bring down the flame otherwise the rasam powder will burn. Also make sure you have enough oil in the pan otherwise also rasam powder will burn. Add little oil if you need. Then add pureed cranberries. Add salt, turmeric powder and jaggery. I used stevia in place of jaggery. As you all know stevia is a natural sugar substitute. Add 4-5 cups or enough water and let it boil. Keep it on medium for 5 minutes and then bring it down to low for 10 more minutes. Turn off the stove and add cilantro. Also add half a tsp of ghee (optional) on the top for extra flavor. Enjoy easy cranberry rasam with rice or just as a hot soup.

A project plan is essentially a formal document that guides the execution and control of a project. It is meant to achieve the planning objectives and facilitate the planning decisions of the project. It also facilitates interaction and communication between the project stakeholders while detailing the costs, scope, and milestones of the project.
Before developing a project plan, it is important to have a statement of the project vision and objectives. The vision statement gives a clear picture of the direction that the project intends to take in order to be successful. Objectives, on the other hand, are the targets that the project will achieve to achieve the desired outcome. These two are necessary because they guide the planning and execution of the project.
There are four categories of constraints that relate to project plan implementation and are noted in the chapter. These are technological, industrial, distribution and operational risks. Technological risks relate to failures when using different technologies, industrial risks relate to key providers being unwilling to use and share technology, distribution risks relate to distributors not delivering the project requirements, and operational risks relate to lack of commitment from project management and personnel.
The first step in executing the project plan is planning the project. This involves creation of a detailed project plan. The second step is supervising the different tasks and actions to lead the project implementation while the last step is the wrap up of the project where the managers finalize status reports and deliver a final report of the project.
Projectitis is when the project manager develops a significant attachment to the project team and spends more time on documentation and performance measurement than the actual project actions. It can be avoided through focus on the project actions, organization and coordination.
A work breakdown structure is a planning tool that allows the project manager to divide the project plan into several tasks that are placed on the task list. Each of these tasks is then further divided into simpler tasks or actions. A WBS is the best way to organize a project plan.
A planner can tell when a task is subdivided adequately when a single individual can complete the tasks or using one skill set, the task can be completed. The task must also include single deliverable only.
A deliverable is a completed action or document that can serve either be used as the starting point of a different action in project or be an element of a completed project.
A resource is a source or a supply from which the project accrues benefit. They are divided into tangible and intangible resources. Tangible resources include land, capital, and labor, while intangible resources include information management systems, brands, patents, etc.
It is good practice to delay naming certain individuals as resources in the project planning because instead of assigning individuals as resources, the project plan should focus on the organizational roles and skill sets required to accomplish particular tasks and actions. These tasks, which are not listed in the project plan, are then assigned to individuals.
A milestone is a particular point in the project plan when a task and its related steps are complete and have an impact on the overall progress of the project. A good example is in project planning where the request for proposal document is sent to vendors. This is because it signifies that all preparations on the part of the project sponsor are finalized.
The project manager assign project start and end dates sparingly to reduce the risk and impact of projectitis and at the same time to allow the manager to only specify the completion dates for the major milestones.
The best judge of effort estimates in project tasks and actions is the individual who is most familiar with similar work. All individuals who are assigned specific action steps should review the estimates of completion, understand the required actions and steps and agree with these estimates.
A dependency is defined as a relationship between a certain task or step where one depends on the completion of the other in order to start. A predecessor is that task that precedes another while a successor is that which comes after another task.
A negative feedback loop is a process that is often used to manage the project to completion. The project's assessed results are compared to the results that are expected and when a deviation is found, corrective action is taken to bring the task into compliance with the project plan.
To convert to a new system, one approach is direct changeover. This involves stopping the old system and starting the new one. This is often simple to a certain degree and harder when the change procedures are more detailed. The second is phased implementation where the roll out is done in phases until all systems are changed. Third is pilot implementation where a single department or division is rolled out with the changes and becomes the guinea pig before going out to other departments or divisions. Last is parallel operation where the two systems are used concurrently to allow fallback to the old system.
Technology governance is a complex process where organizations manage the cost of technology and innovation by facilitating communication about technical issues in the organization. Change control is the process where the organization deals with the impact of a technical change.
Accreditation is the authority of an IT system to process, transmit and store information and is issued as assurance that the system is of adequate quality. Certification is a comprehensive evaluation of the technical and non-technical controls in an IT system.
No specific person or department decides where information security should be. It is the role of the entire organization to find a rational place to place the information security function where it can balance the needs of education, training, policy, awareness, etc.
The information security function can be placed within the IT function since it is related to these IT functions and it can also be placed as a peer of physical security since they relate as protective IT functions. It can be placed under administration as a peer to human resources and can also be under the legal department for enforcement of the organization's security policies.
The criteria for selecting IS personnel involves hiring a manager who can work well with different people. This individual should also perceive threats to the organization and understand the technical controls to mitigate these risks.
Attitude, understanding of the role, understanding of the sensitivity of information related to the role, working knowledge of IT technologies, and understanding of the education and training requirements of the role influence an organization's information security hiring decision.
When dismissing an employee in friendly or hostile circumstance, the organization must consider the security of information. The employee may store information in personal drives and storage media. The employee's access to the organization's system should be disable and keycard access revoked. They should remove their personal effects from the premises.
Temporary employees have access to limited information that they require to perform their tasks while contracted employees should not have access to any information unless contract to apply them.
IS professionals have two career paths. The first is ex-law enforcement or military professionals while the second is IT experts such as database or system administrators, and programmers.
It is important to use standard job descriptions for hiring IS professionals because it affects the degree of professionalism in the IS field and improves the consistency of roles and responsibilities within the organization.
The CISO performs the tasks of defining security policies, strategic planning, developing tactical plans, budgeting, and operational planning. The key qualifications include a university degree in an IT field and experience in IS management.
The security manager performs the tasks of policy development, assessing system risks, contingency, operational, and tactical planning. He is also the liaison with other organizational managers. Key qualifications include a graduate degree and experience in IS policymaking and general information security.
The security technician performs the tasks of configuring, implementing, debugging, and troubleshooting security controls. This person is specialized in coordination of the system administration. Qualifications include IS certification and in-depth experience of IS management.
In acquiring professional credentials, an aspiring IS professional should use the rationale that these qualifications only aid the employer to ascertain the candidate's level of proficiency.
The IS professional's certification credentials include CISSP and SSCP from (ISC)2, CISA and CISM from ISACA, GIAC from SANS, SCNP and SCNA from SCP, CCE and CIFI for forensics, and CompTIA's Security+.
The certification expense should be paid by different persons based on the circumstances. The employee should pay if seeking for a first job but if it is a new requirement for a job they hold, the employer should pay.

GALVESTON, Texas (August 10, 2016) – Galveston's beaches will soon become bigger and better. The Galveston Park Board – in partnership with the City of Galveston and Texas General Land Office – will begin a $19.5 million beach expansion and nourishment project this fall that will widen existing Seawall beaches between 12th and 61st streets.
This four-mile stretch of beach will be replenished with up to 1 million cubic yards of beach quality sand dredged from the Galveston Ship Channel. The project, which will widen these beaches by 100 to 150 feet, is expected to be complete by spring 2017.
"This beach expansion project continues our mission to increase recreation areas for our visitors and to protect the seawall – and the island – from erosion and future storm surges," said Park Board Executive Director Kelly de Schaun.
The project will be completed using a "pipeline dredge" process that requires a 36-inch pipe to remain on the beach while crews are active. Pipes and pumps will move sand from the Galveston Ship Channel at Big Reef (east of East Beach) to the project site. The staging area for the project will be located at Stewart Beach, where construction equipment, pipes and pumps will be housed.
Galveston's beaches will remain open during the project. Construction pipes will be covered by special ramps to allow public access to the coast.
This project will mark the third sand nourishment project to be undertaken in Galveston in recent months. In May 2015, more than a half-mile of beach was added west of the Seawall at Dellanera RV Park. In November 2015, a second project added more than 15 blocks of brand new beach along the Seawall west of 61st Street.
When combined, the three projects represent more than $44 million invested in the Galveston coastline.


I'm also obsessed with photography [taking too many iPhone pics] + graphic design.
One day I realized that I love social media, I have a great eye for design + I don't do very well with bosses :) Thus, Gurl Gone Social was born.
Since starting GGS in 2016, I've had the chance to connect + work with so many creative people including celebrities, bloggers, and amazingly passionate entrepreneurs. Thanks for stopping by + i can't wait to [hopefully] work together soon!

		\item searching for the one neuron doing a particular thing is a dead end
		\item correlation computation needs to be done in a contrastive manner and in the best case be added with plots to get a better impression
		\item the research questions can only be answered insufficiently and incomplete
		\item we need methods capable to deal with non-linear data

X-ray multilayer (ML) structures that are fabricated by the use of magnetron-sputter deposition exhibit a degradation in structural quality as the deposition pressure is increased. The observed change in morphology is attributed to a reduced mobility of surface adsorbed atoms, which inhibits the formation of smooth, continuous layers. The application of a negative substrate bias produces ion bombardment of the growing film surface by sputtering gas ions extracted from the plasma and permits direct control of the energy density supplied to the film surface during thin-film growth. The technique supplements the energy lost to thermalization in high-pressure deposition and permits the fabrication of high-quality ML structures at elevated processing pressures. A threefold improvement in the soft-x-ray normal-incidence reflectance at 130 A results for substrate bias voltages of the order of ~ −150 V for Mo–Si ML's deposited at 10-mTorr Ar.

Threat reports are important for the industry because they provide valuable information about the threat landscape as it evolves. By regularly reviewing this information, companies can gain a better understanding of the security risks they face and develop more effective security measures and strategies.
Threat reports are typically related to the collection and analysis phases of the threat intelligence lifecycle:
In the collection phase, threat reports are one of the sources of information that can be used to gather information about potential security threats and vulnerabilities.
In the analysis phase, threat reports are often used as a source of information that can be analyzed to identify potential threats and understand their implications.
Together, these two phases form the foundation of the threat intelligence lifecycle (which also includes dissemination and continuous improvement phases) and threat reports are an important source of information that can be used to support this work.
There are several different types of threat intelligence, and the specific type that is most appropriate for an organization will depend on its needs. The information can be used as a source of strategic, tactical, and operational threat intelligence. Stakeholders can be different, from SOC analysts focused on techniques or TTPs to the CISO who need to understand security trends and develop a threat-informed defense. Security teams should regularly review different kinds of threat reports to keep constantly up to date with emerging threats and provide situational awareness.
Some common ways to classify threat reports include:
By target industry: The industry or sectors that are most likely to be targeted by the threats discussed in the report (e.g., healthcare industry, manufacturing, financial sector, etc.).
By attack vector: The methods that attackers use to deliver their payloads (phishing, social engineering, ransomware, etc.).
By geography: The geographic regions where the threats discussed in the report are most likely to be encountered.
By threat actor: Threat reports can be classified based on the groups or individuals that are most likely to be behind the threats discussed in the report (e.g., nation-state actors, organized crime groups, hacktivists, etc.).
Some specific ways that organizations can use vendor threat reports include:
Identifying potential threats: By reviewing threat reports, organizations can identify potential security threats that they may not have been aware of previously. This can help them to stay ahead of potential attacks and better protect their systems and data. Additionally, threat reports often provide detailed analyses of the potential impacts of specific threats. This can help organizations to develop more effective strategies for mitigating or neutralizing them.
Tracking the development of threats: Threat reports can also be used to track the development of specific threats over time. This can help organizations to respond quickly and effectively to new threats as they emerge.
Demonstrating commitment to cybersecurity: By using vendor threat reports as part of their security efforts, organizations can demonstrate their commitment to cybersecurity to regulators and customers. For example, ISO 27002:2022 added a new control (5.7) that specifically requires the collection and analysis of information relating to security threats to produce meaningful threat intelligence.
These reports provide detailed information about industry threats and vulnerabilities, as well as insight into malicious activity patterns and trends. A good cyber threat report can be an invaluable resource for organizations that want to understand and protect against potential security threats.
By regularly reviewing and analyzing threat reports, organizations can gain a better understanding of the security risks they face and can use this actionable information to inform their security strategy and decision-making. In this way, cyber threat reports can be an essential component of an organization's security efforts and should be regularly reviewed and analyzed to ensure that the organization is adequately informed and protected.
The following is a non-exhaustive list of the main threat reports published in 2022, according to my personal judgment, and listed in order of publish date.
