\section{Introduction}
Heavy-ion collisions can be used as a powerful tool for tests of
quantum electrodynamics at the supercritical Coulomb fields \cite{Greiner}.
To date many approaches were employed to treat such collisions~\cite{Becker86,
Strayer90, Thiel92, Wells96, Pindzola_00, Busic_04, Momberger96, Ionescu99,
Eichler90, Rumrich93, Momberger93, Gail2003, Tup_10}.
In our previous work \cite{Tup_10, Tup_12} a method of solving the time-dependent
Dirac equation in the basis of atomic-like
Dirac-Fock-Sturm orbitals was developed.

In the present paper we develop an alternative approach to treatment of
low-energy heavy-ion collisions. The method is based on using the cubic Hermite spline
basis set on a two-dimensional uniform grid.
The Dirac equation is considered in a rotating
reference frame.
Previously the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation was treated in a rotating coordinate
frame in Ref.~\cite{Grun82}. The basis of cubic Hermite splines was used for non-relativistic
time-dependent calculations~\cite{Deineka_04, Deineka_06} and for relativistic time-dependent calculations in
the monopole approximation~\cite{Deineka_12}. To our best knowledge, however, the Hermite splines
have not been employed before for solving the time-dependent Dirac equation for the real
two-center problem.

The theoretical methods are described in section~\ref{sec:theory}. The results of our calculations of the
charge-transfer probabilities for the $\rm U^{92+}$--$\rm U^{91+}(1s)$ collision are presented in section~\ref{sec:Results}.
 Atomic units ($\hbar=e=m=1$) are used throughout the paper.
\section{Theory}
\label{sec:theory}
\subsection{Basis of the Hermite splines}
In this paper a basis of cubic Hermite splines is used. This basis can be defined in the following way.
The interval $[a,b]$ is partitioned  into $N$ equal subintervals $a= x_0 < x_1 < \ldots < x_N = b$,
with the length $h=x_{i+1}-x_i$ ($i=1,\ldots, N-1$). For each node $x_i$ two functions are introduced:
\begin{equation}
   s^0_i(x)=f^0 \left( \frac{x-x_i}{h} \right), \qquad s^1_i(x)=h f^1 \left( \frac{x-x_i}{h} \right)\,,
 \label{eq:h_basis}
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
    f^0(x)=\left\{
      \begin{array}{lc}
	0, \quad |x| \ge 1  \\
	(1-x)^2 (1+2x), \quad  0\le x<1\\
	(1+x)^2 (1-2x), \quad  -1<x<0\\
      \end{array}
      \right.
    \label{eq:spline0}
  \end{equation}

  \begin{equation}
  f^1(x)=\left\{
    \begin{array}{lc}
      0, \quad |x| \ge 1  \\
      (1-x)^2 x,  \quad 0\le x<1\\
      (1+x)^2 x, \quad -1<x<0.\\
    \end{array}
    \right.\\
  \label{eq:spline1}
\end{equation}
Since only adjacent splines overlap, the Hamiltonian and overlapping matrices are sparse.
It is the significant advantage of this basis. The two-dimensional basis Hermite splines are defined as
\begin{equation}
 \phi_{j}(x,y) \equiv s^\mu_l(x)\cdot s^\nu_m(y).
  \label{eq:two_dim_splines}
\end{equation}
Here $j=j(\mu,\nu,l,m)$ enumerates the splines $\phi_{j}(x,y)$ in the certain way.

\subsection{Solution of the time-dependent two-center Dirac equation }
We consider a collision of $\rm U^{92+}$ (target) and $\mathrm{U^{91+}}(1s)$ (projectile). The position
of the target is fixed, the projectile moves along a straight line with a constant velocity.

The electron movement is considered in the cylindrical coordinate system  $\left( \rho, z, \varphi \right)$
which is rotating around the target with the internuclear axis as $z$-axis.
In this coordinate system the Dirac equation is written as~\cite{Muller76}
\begin{equation}
i\frac{\partial \psi}{\partial t}=\hat{H}  \psi ,
\label{eq:rot_Dirac}
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
 \hat{H}=\hat{H}_0-\vec{\hat{J}} \vec{\omega},
\end{equation}
where $\psi$ is the Dirac wave function, $\vec{\hat{J}}$ is the angular
momentum operator,
$\vec{\omega}$ is the angular velocity of the reference frame, and

\begin{equation}
\hat{H}_0=c \vec{\alpha} \vec{\hat{p}}+\beta c^2+V(\vec{r},t).
\label{eq:inert_Hamiltonian}
\end{equation}
Here $\vec{\alpha}, \beta$ are the Dirac matrices, and $V(\vec{r},t)$ is the
two-center potential. In Eq.~(\ref{eq:rot_Dirac}) we disregard some negligible terms~\cite{Muller76}.

The wave function is represented as
\begin{equation}
\psi^k(\rho, z, \varphi, t)=\sum_{m=-M}^M \psi^k_m (\rho, z, t) \, \Phi^k_m(\varphi) \, ,
\label{eq:m_expansion}
\end{equation}
where $m$ is a half-integer quantum number, index $k$ enumerates the components of $\psi(\rho, z, \varphi, t)$ ,
$2M+1$ is the number of $m$-states under consideration,
and
\begin{equation}
  \Phi^k_m(\varphi)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}} \left\{
   \begin{array}{lc}
 	  \exp \left[ i \left( m-1/2 \right)\varphi \right], \, k=1,3 \\ [0.8mm]
 	  \exp \left[ i \left( m+1/2 \right)\varphi \right], \, k=2,4  \,.
    \end{array}
  \right.
 \end{equation}
 Each component $\psi^k_m(\rho, z, t)$ is expanded in the basis of cubic Hermite splines $\left\{ \phi_i(\rho,z) \right\}$
\begin{equation}
\psi^k(\rho, z, \varphi, t)=\sum_{m=-M}^M \sum_{i=1}^N C^k_{i,m} (t) \, \phi_i(\rho,z) \, \Phi^k_m(\varphi) \, .
\label{eq:basis_expansion}
\end{equation}
Let us introduce the new notation $C_j \equiv  C^k_{i,m}$, $f_j \equiv \phi_i \, \Phi^k_m$. The coefficients $C_j$
can be obtained by solving the equation
\begin{equation}
iS \, \frac{d \vec{C}(t)}{dt}=H(t) \, \vec{C}(t).
\label{eq:finite_Dirac}
\end{equation}
Here $\vec{C}$ is the vector of the coefficients $C_j$, $H_{ij}=\langle f_i \arrowvert \hat{H} \arrowvert f_j \rangle$,
$S_{ij}=\langle f_i \arrowvert  f_j \rangle$. The matrix elements $S_{ij}$ and $H_{ij}$ are calculated by numerical integration
with respect to $\rho$ and $z$, and analytical integration with respect to the $\varphi$ coordinate.
For sufficiently small time interval $\Delta t$ the formal solution of Eq.~(\ref{eq:finite_Dirac}) is
 \begin{equation}
     \vec{C}(t+\Delta t)=\exp \left(-iS^{-1}H \Delta t \right) \vec{C}(t).
     \label{eq:formal_solution}
  \end{equation}
 The exponential operator is expanded as
 \begin{equation}
  \vec{C}(t+\Delta t)=\left[ 1-iS^{-1}H \Delta t-\frac{1}{2}\left( S^{-1}H \Delta t  \right)^2+...    \right]\vec{C}(t).
  \label{eq:exponent_expansion}
\end{equation}
 The vector $\vec{C}(t)$ is calculated on each time step using Eq.~(\ref{eq:exponent_expansion})
 with the first four terms.
\section{Results}
\label{sec:Results}
The charge transfer probabilities in the $\rm U^{92+}$--$\rm U^{91+}(1s)$ collisions were obtained
for one ($m=1/2$) and six channels with different $m$ (see Eq.~\ref{eq:m_expansion}) at the projectile energy $\rm E_{lab}=6$~MeV/u.
The numbers of basis functions were 15360 and 92160 for one and six channels, respectively. The results are shown in Fig.~\ref{gr:capture}.
 \begin{figure}[h]

  \label{gr:capture}
 \end{figure}
\section{Conclusion}
In the present work the charge transfer probabilities in the $\rm U^{92+}$--$\rm U^{91+}(1s)$ collisions
were calculated for a wide range of the impact parameter.
As can be seen from Fig.~\ref{gr:capture}, the results of the calculations with six channels are
in a good agreement with the corresponding values obtained in Ref.~\cite{Tup_10}. Since
$\langle \Phi_m \arrowvert \vec{J} \vec{\omega} \arrowvert  \Phi_m \rangle=0$, the rotation of the internuclear axis
is not taken into account in the case of the one channel calculations. As one can observe from
Fig.1, the influence of this rotation is essential for the impact parameter $b<$ 600 fm.

So I want to start out by saying that I dropped the "review" portion of my title because let's face it...NerdLacquer doesn't need reviews because the brand isn't around anymore!
So today is all about pretty glitter polish...no reviews...just swatches.
Why post about a brand that can only be bought via resale?
Because I had the urge to wear NL and once I had it on I thought...well I want to share this 'cuz it's pretty.
Does that work for you guys? I hope so!
I also want to update you on life really quickly. Unfortunately things just feel like they're on a bit of a downward spiral. You all know I'm having a hard time finding a job since I moved and now...as of yesterday...I was in a car accident. I'm fine (I think so at least) but my car isn't and it was my fault. I really shouldn't be driving on my own on streets I'm so unfamiliar with AND using GPS at the same time. During rush hour. Even worse...as a result of being without a job for over 2 months...I don't have any money and now I have a ticket to pay, traffic school to pay for, and my insurance deductible which I'm not even sure what it is. I'm petrified to call my insurance company but I'll be doing that today. I'm kinda royally screwed. So if you can...do me a favor and send any kind of good vibe you can spare my way.
So here's my "review" - NerdLacquer is amazing - I wish the maker and store didn't disappear from the polish world so everyone could enjoy the nerdy goodness. Also I don't normally love brown based polishes but this brown/gold mixture with so many bits and bobs of glitters is pretty damn amazing.
Do you own any Nerds?

E-Mentoring in IBD
Optimizing Management using CRP, Fecal Calprotectin, and Ferritin
Apr 24, 2015 - Classic Edition | IBD Dialogue | Volume 11 • 2015
Mentoring in IBD is an innovative and successful educational program for Canadian gastroenterologists that now includes an annual national meeting, regional satellites in both official languages, a website, an educational newsletter series, and regular electronic communications answering key clinical questions with new research. This issue is based on the presentation made by the issue editor, Dr Peter Lakatos, at the annual national meeting, Mentoring in IBD XV: The Master Class, held November 7, 2014 in Toronto, Ontario.
Ongoing inflammation in Crohn's disease (CD) results in cumulative tissue damage, but current evidence indicates that tailored therapy and objective patient monitoring can alter the course of the disease (Figure 1).(1) Many patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) also experience disease progression: up to 20% undergo colectomy within 10 years and 30% within 25 years (Figure 2).(2) Early and aggressive intervention in patients with severe disease may improve long-term outcomes.
Several patient and disease characteristics can help to identify patients who have an increased risk of an aggressive disease course.(3) It is important to identify these patients as early as possible to allow treatment optimization with the intent of altering the course of disease. Tight monitoring of clinical status can assist in this goal. In turn, implementation of tight monitoring requires a priori definition of the goals of treatment (Table 1). Objective assessment of disease activity is needed when setting these targets, as the presence or absence of symptoms is not a reliable indicator of inflammation and disease activity.
Levels of specific disease markers, such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and fecal calprotectin, parallel endoscopic or histologic disease activity, and elevated levels in patients with quiescent disease predict near-term relapses in both CD and UC. These disease markers may have clinical utility for prognosis at diagnosis, short-term prediction of disease activity, and long-term prediction of prognosis, disease complication risk, postoperative recurrence risk, and treatment optimization.
Several studies have linked CRP levels to short-term disease activity in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Solem et al examined the relation between CRP and clinical, endoscopic, histologic, and radiographic activity in 147 patients with IBD.(4) In CD, CRP elevation was significantly associated with moderate-to-severe clinical activity, active disease at colonoscopy, and histologically severe inflammation. In patients with UC, CRP elevation was significantly associated with severe clinical activity, elevation in erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), anemia, hypoalbuminemia, and active disease at colonoscopy. Jones et al assessed the correlations among the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI), the Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD), CRP, interleukin-6 (IL-6), fecal calprotectin, and lactoferrin in 164 patients with CD.(5) The study found CRP, IL-6, fecal calprotectin, and lactoferrin were all significantly higher in patients with SES-CD scores greater than 7.
CRP levels can also predict relapse among patients in remission. Consigny et al evaluated data from a previous therapeutic trial of 71 patients with CD, looking for biological markers of near-term relapse.(6) Multivariate analysis identified 2 markers predictive of relapse: CRP >20 mg/L and ESR >15 mm. This information was used to develop a binary biological predictive score. The score was negative when both markers were below the cut-off value and positive when they exceeded that value. The relative risk (RR) of short-term relapse associated with a positive score was 8.0 (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.8–22.9). The score predicted relapse within 6 weeks with a sensitivity of 89% and a specificity of 43%. Kiss et al classified 260 patients with CD according to CRP levels at diagnosis.(7) An elevated CRP level at diagnosis was an independent predictor of 3-month (P=0.007) and 12-month (P=0.001) clinical relapse among patients in remission.
CRP levels can also help to predict outcomes of treatment. Using data collected during the A Crohn's Disease Clinical Trial Evaluating Infliximab in a New Long-term Treatment Regimen (ACCENT) I trial, Reinisch et al evaluated CRP at baseline and after infliximab induction therapy at 14 weeks as a predictor of maintaining response or remission through 54 weeks among patients with CD who responded to induction.(8) Higher baseline CRP levels (≥0.7 mg/dL) were significantly associated with maintained remission, and CRP levels that had normalized at week 14 were associated with an increased chance of maintaining response or remission over 1 year of infliximab therapy. Travis et al studied whether early changes in inflammatory markers or other variables could predict 1-year outcomes among 51 episodes of severe colitis.(9) His data indicated that 85% of patients with stool frequency >8 or stool frequency 3 to 8 plus CRP >45 mg/L at 3 days required colectomy during that admission.
According to some data, CRP levels may also predict longer-term outcomes of severe disease. Henriksen et al evaluated the relation of CRP levels to disease extent in patients with UC and to phenotype in patients with CD, and the predictive value of CRP levels for disease outcomes.(10) Data on CRP at diagnosis and after 1 and 5 years were available for 454 patients with UC and 200 patients with CD. CRP levels at diagnosis of UC increased with greater extent of disease. Among patients with extensive colitis, CRP levels >23 mg/L were associated with an increased risk of surgery (odds ratio [OR] 4.8, 95% CI: 1.5–15.1, P=0.02). CRP levels >10 mg/L at 1 year in patients with UC were associated with an increased risk of surgery over the next 4 years (OR 3.0, 95% CI: 1.1–7.8, P=0.02). Among patients with CD and terminal ileitis, CRP >53 mg/L at diagnosis significantly increased the risk of surgery (OR 6.0, 95% CI: 1.1–31.9, P=0.03). These results were confirmed by Lindgren et al, who evaluated clinical and biochemical parameters as predictors of steroid failure in 97 patients with acute UC.(11) The study found that fever, bloody diarrhea and CRP elevation persisting to Day 3 of intravenous corticosteroid therapy predicted treatment failure and that CRP ≥25 mg/L plus >4 bowel movements/day on Day 3 independently predicted a high risk of colectomy within 30 days.
Fecal calprotectin
Fecal calprotectin levels can also be linked to disease activity in both CD and UC. Using data from 140 ileocolonoscopies in patients with CD compared with 43 controls, Schoepfer et al evaluated the correlation between the SES-CD and fecal calprotectin, CRP, the white blood cell count, and the CDAI.(12) Calprotectin correlated most closely with the SES-CD (Spearman's rank correlation coefficient r=0.75). In addition, only calprotectin discriminated between inactive endoscopic disease and mild disease activity, between mild and moderate disease activity, and between moderate and high disease activity. Using a cut-off value of 70 μg/g, calprotectin had an overall accuracy for detecting endoscopically active disease of 87%.
D'Haens et al examined the relation between fecal calprotectin levels and endoscopic disease activity in 126 patients with IBD and 32 patients with IBS undergoing colonoscopy and found significant correlations with endoscopic disease scores in both CD and in UC.(13) In CD, calprotectin levels <250 μg/g predicted endoscopic remission (Crohn's Disease Endoscopic Index of Severity [CDEIS] ≤3) with 94.1% sensitivity and 62.2% specificity. In UC, calprotectin levels >250 μg/g predicted active mucosal disease activity (Mayo score >0) with a sensitivity of 71.0% and a specificity of 100.0%, and levels significantly correlated with symptom scores (r=0.561, P<0.001).
Schoepfer et al also evaluated the correlation between endoscopic disease activity, fecal calprotectin, Clinical Activity Index, CRP, and white blood cell count in 134 patients with UC compared with 48 controls undergoing colonoscopy.(14) Endoscopic disease activity correlated most closely with calprotectin (Spearman's rank correlation coefficient r=0.834), and this marker could also reliably discriminate inactive from mild, moderate, and highly active disease; the overall accuracy of calprotectin in detecting endoscopically active disease (score ≥4) was 89%.
In a subanalysis of the infliximab diSconTinuation in CrOhn's disease patients in stable Remission on combined therapy with Immunosuppressors (STORI) trial that involved close monitoring of both CRP and fecal calprotectin, de Suray et al found that elevated levels of CRP and fecal calprotectin were associated with an increased risk of short-term relapse and the combination may increase specificity.(15)
Ho et al investigated the utility of fecal calprotectin in predicting colectomy and corticosteroid and infliximab nonresponse in 90 inpatients with acute severe UC.(16) Fecal calprotectin was dramatically elevated and significantly higher among patients who went on to colectomy.
After measuring fecal calprotectin, Tibble et al followed 43 patients with CD and 37 patients with UC in clinical remission for 12 months.(17) Using a cut-off value of 50 mg/L, fecal calprotectin predicted relapse with a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 83%.
Lin et al performed a meta-analysis of 13 studies, which included 744 patients with UC and 727 patients with CD, assessing the diagnostic accuracy of fecal calprotectin in differentiating between active IBD and remission at several cut-off values (Table 2).(18)
Anemia is an important and prevalent surrogate measure of disease activity in IBD and is usually due to iron deficiency, chronic diseases, vitamin deficiencies (e.g.B12 or folate), or a combination.(19) Differentiating between these causes is critical for appropriate management. Ferritin, which is an acute-phase reactant, is useful in determining the type of anemia present, as it is decreased (<30 ng/L) in iron deficiency, increased in anemia of chronic disease (100 ng/mL), and possibly normal in anemia of mixed etiology.(20)
Using biomarkers in clinical practice
The accumulation of data on the clinical utility of CRP and fecal calprotectin in monitoring patient status and early results from hypothesis-driven randomized controlled trials (such as Randomized Evaluation of an Algorithm for Crohn's Treatment [REACT]) confirm that optimized therapy using tight monitoring results in superior long-term outcomes, including reductions in hospitalization, surgery, and complications (Figure 3).(21)
Biomarkers are important in both short- and long-term follow-up of patients with IBD. It is vital to stratify patients by risk, and to establish relevant goals of therapy. A comprehensive evaluation, including clinical and endoscopic presentation and fecal, serologic, and routine laboratory tests is recommended. Patient-specific strategies for follow-up using individualized and objective measures of disease activity can help to optimize long-term outcomes.
Clinical case
A 35-year-old male has had endoscopically and histologically confirmed ulcerative pancolitis for 7 years. At the time of diagnosis in 2007, his CRP was 65 mg/L and he was initially treated with mesalamine 4.8 g/d plus 30 days of rectal mesalamine and prednisone 40 mg, tapered over 14 weeks. He rapidly went into a clinical remission and eventually reduced his mesalamine to 2.4 g/d maintenance therapy. He lives 7 hours from a major metropolitan centre and has had his mesalamine prescription renewed by his family physician over the years.
He is newly married and his wife arranges a follow-up appointment with your office. In your office, he states he is well and asymptomatic. He has one more bowel motion per day than normal with no blood, equating to a partial Mayo score of 1, indicating full remission. Laboratory testing reveals the following:
– Normal hemoglobin, mean cell volume (MCV) and platelets
– Ferritin 12 pmol/L (normal range 12-300 pmol/L)
– Iron 9 μmol/L (normal range 10-30 μmol/L)
The rest of his laboratory investigations are normal.
Clinical assessment is no longer adequate to follow patients with IBD, and objective monitoring is now an important part of monitoring clinical status. In this situation, CRP and fecal calprotectin are appropriate to identify the presence of subclinical disease activity.
Case evolution
His test results are the following:
– CRP: 18 mg/L (normal range 1-8 mg/L)
– Fecal calprotectin: 356 μg/g (normal range <200 μg/g)
The biomarker results indicate the presence of inflammation, which has increased over the past few weeks, and the risk of relapse, so additional investigation is warranted. In addition, objective monitoring is now sufficient to optimize therapy.
You decide to have him drive 7 hours back to see you for a colonoscopy. The colonoscopy demonstrates loss of vascular pattern and granularity up to 35 cm, loss of vascular pattern only with no granularity from 35 to 65 cm, and a normal endoscopic picture from 65 cm to the cecum. The ileum is normal.
As colonoscopy indicates the presence of active disease and the biomarker results indicate the likelihood of relapse, more intensive treatment is recommended to prevent the development of clinical relapse. Increasing the dose of oral mesalamine from 2.4 g/day and adding a rectal formulation are appropriate responses in this situation.

Q: Correct definition of bilinear(multilinear) maps over noncommutative rings I wonder about the following: Let $R$ be a noncommutative ring with $\alpha, \beta \in R$ such that $\alpha \beta \neq \beta \alpha$. Let $M,N,P$ be left-$R$-modules. Why does it make problems to define a map $B: M \times N \to P$ to be bilinear if
$B(\lambda m,n) = \lambda B(m,n)$
and analogously for the second argument
(and $B$ additive in both components)? That is, why does it make problems to allow pulling out scalars?
We would get $\alpha \beta B(m,n) = \beta \alpha B(m,n)$. Why does that make the definition useless? In general, from $(\alpha \beta - \beta \alpha) B(m,n) = 0$ it doesnt follow $B(m,n) = 0$ (when $(\alpha \beta - \beta \alpha)$ is not a zero divisor in $R$), so i dont see the problem.
I've read the "correct definition" of a tensorproduct/bilinear map over noncommutative rings begins like this: take a right-$R$-module $M$ and a left-$R$-module $N$ and an abelian group $P$. Then it makes sense to talk about bilinear maps $B: M \times N \to P$: we want them to satisfy $B(\alpha m,n) = B(m, \alpha n)$, i.e., instead of allowing to pull out scalars, we only are allowed to push them from one argument to the other. Why?

A: Usually it's wiser to write the right module actions on the right of the module elements, so the last equation you have should be
$B( m\alpha,n) = B(m, \alpha n)$ since $M$ is a right module. You can look upon it as a sort of associativity condition. Remember that the prototype for bilinear operations is ring multiplication. Things are a different than a ring here, but still the basic idea of "I know how to do $m(\alpha n)$ and $(m\alpha)n$. In general these could be different, but if they are the same then I don't need parentheses and I just have $m\alpha n$."
This particular compatibility ingredient is usually called (in my experience) being "balanced." So by way of illustrating a balanced multiadditive map on the modules $M_R$, $_SP$ and the bimodule $_RN_S$, it would be a map from $T:M\times N\times P\to G$ where $G$ is an abelian group, such that the map is additive in $M$ and $N$ and $P$ independently, and the following "balancedness" requirements are met:
$T(mr,n,p)=T(m,rn,p)$
$T(m,ns,p)=T(m,n,sp)$
Of course, this can be generalized to any number of (bi)modules.
You mentioned "pulling out scalars," which I guess means something like $\alpha B(m,n)=B(\alpha m,n)$. This is also possible, but for that to be true you'd ask for a left bimodule structure on $M$. So if $_RM_S$ and $_SN$ are (bi)modules, you can show that the set of balanced maps defined with just $M_S$ and $_SN$ have a natural left $R$ module structure defined by $rB(m,n)=B(rm,n)$. Similarly, if $N$ is a bimodule, you can pull-in/push-out a scalar on the far right hand side: $B(m,nt)=B(m,n)t$.

Home Products Ticket to Ride London
Ticket to Ride London
Playing time: 15 mins
Ticket to Ride: London features the familiar gameplay from the Ticket to Ride game series — collect cards, claim routes, draw tickets — but on a scaled-down map of 1970s London that allows you to complete a game in no more than 15 minutes.
Each player starts with a supply of 17 double-decker buses, two transportation cards in hand, and one or two destination tickets that show locations in London. On a turn, you either draw two transportation cards from the deck or the display of five face-up cards; or you claim a route on the board by discarding cards that match the color of the route being claimed; or you draw two destination tickets and keep at least one of them.
Players take turns until someone has no more than two buses in their supply, then each player takes one final turn, including the player who triggered the end of the game. Players then sum their points, scoring points for (1) the routes that they've claimed during the game, (2) the destination tickets that they've completed (by connecting the two locations on a ticket by a continuous line of their buses), and (3) the districts that they've connected. You lose points for any uncompleted destination tickets, then whoever has the high score wins!


Your Aug. 11 editorial ''Free Speech and Public Safety'' characterizes as reasonable the New York City Police Department's suggestion of Randalls Island or Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx as suitable alternative sites to a Harlem-based ''Million Youth March'' set for Sept. 5.
However, Khalid Muhammad and his hateful band of black nationalist demagogues want to address an audience of mostly blacks, not merely to rally and talk to themselves. Thus, the city's directing them to remote sites negates their purpose and feeds the impression that real concerns about public safety are a ruse for censoring their unwelcome assembly.
Indeed, censorship will be the result unless the Police Department can offer a rally site closer to central like including Central Park, which has recently been used for commercial events by the Walt Disney Company and others. Such arrangements would truly be a reasonable accommodation with the marchers' free-speech rights, especially since it is unlikely that a ''million'' youth will show.

SFSU runners earn All-West Region honors
Jacob C. Palmer
Nov. 8, 2016 12:00 a.m.
For the second time in program history, the San Francisco State men's cross country team featured a pair of runners to earn All-West Region honors.
Seniors Benji Preciado and Kenny Trejo nabbed the distinction at last weekend's NCAA Division II West Region Championship, in which Preciado finished 13th and Trejo 16th.
As a team, the Gators finished in eighth place, which eliminates them from competing in the national race.
Adrian Calva was named to the All-West Region team by taking 14th, which is the highest individual finish for an SFSU athlete since 2002. Her time of 21:49.35 represents the third fastest time in a 6K race in school history.
The Gators' traditionally solid wrestling team participated in the 49th Annual SFSU College Open on Saturday.
Mitchell Owens came in second in the 184-pound weight class while Mike Marshal (184), Thomas Turcol (149) and Landon Myers (157) each took a spot on the podium as third-place finishers.
In a dual meet, the Gators lost to both Cal Poly and Indiana.
The San Francisco State Tip-Off Classic will serve as the men's basketball team's official tip off to the 2016-17 season this weekend.
The Gators will host the Academy of Art, Stanislaus State and Dominican University in the Don Nasser Family Plaza over Friday and Saturday.
The women's basketball team opens up its season on the road at the Western Oregon/Hamptons Inn D2 Shootout on Saturday.

SNMMI"s Congressional Testimony Supporting NIH Funding
The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging has submitted testimony to the Senate Appropriations Committee's Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services supporting increased funding in 2018 for the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The subcommittee will meet June 9, 2017.
Our testimony supports the recommendations of the Ad Hoc Group for Medical Research — a coalition of more than 300 patient and voluntary health groups, medical and scientific societies, academic and research organizations, and industry. It asks Congress for an increase of at least $2 billion above FY 2017 for NIH, in addition to funds included in the 21st Century Cures Act for targeted initiatives. This funding level would enable real growth over biomedical inflation as an important step to ensuring stability in the nation's research capacity over the long term. Moreover, the recommendations help advance the scientific momentum envisioned by the 21st Century Cures Act, enacted with broad bipartisan support, in which the Innovation Account supplements the agency's base budget. Securing a reliable, robust budget trajectory for NIH will be key in positioning the agency, and the patients who rely on it, to capitalize on the full range of research in the biomedical, behavioral, social, and population-based sciences.
The President proposed an $8 billion or 24% cut for the NIH which according to one analysis would mean 5,000 to 8,000 fewer grants.

How to set up your own cricket experiment!
The experiment that I have started this week uses Gryllodes sigillatus, commonly known as the decorated cricket (or brown banded cricket). I aim to look at how the 'condition' of an individual (more on 'condition' at a later date!) affects the expression of its sexual traits, and shall control this via the animals' diet. Unfortunately, these insects are quite happy to supplement their diet through cannibalising their fellow housemates (something that probably could have kept Big Brother going for another couple of series), so they have to be kept in individual containers from within 24 hours of hatching. General tips on how to keep crickets at home can be found here, which you can supplement with these instructions if you wish to perform your own experiments!
I am using 5cm x 5cm tubs, each of which requires a piece of shelter (one piece of egg carton), water (I use a small plastic tube with a piece of damp cotton wool as a stopper), and a food source. I am using the top of an Eppendorf tube to store the food, and have ground it to a powder for the nymphs – you can see an example below of the 'good' diet on the left (100% ground cat food), and 'poor' diet on the right (50% ground cat food, 50% ground oatmeal). Once the crickets reach adulthood, they can be given larger pellets – this makes it easier to control the mass of the food, as well as reducing the likelihood of the food to go mouldy!
You can also see that each tub has 2 labels, one that gives information on the individual inside, and another that gives its hatch date. Once you have all your crickety needs, simply arrange in the tub as shown below!
Ensure that you have pierced the lid several times before putting the cricket in there (unless your experiment is cruel and fairly redundant); you can also cut away part of the corners on the tub (as shown in the top 2 corners in the picture above), which makes it easier to remove the lid for quick access. Time will tell if this also makes it easier for the crickets to open the tub as well.
Once you have prepared this little home, you're ready to introduce your cricket babies!


In the early 1980s, deaths caused by hair dryers falling into bathtups or sinks with water resulted in about 18 deaths per year.
Since 1991, hair dryer manufacturers have been required to include ground fault circuit interrupters on hair dryer cords. GFCI outlets can sense unsafe electrical hazards and they automatically shut off power before a serious injury or electrocution can occur.
Since then, the number of hair dryer deaths has dropped to about two per year.


Call "1-999-633-7263" (OFF-ROAD) on your cell phone.
Find one of the 27 hidden fat green peyote plants. Then, eat the peyote to hallucinate and transform into one of 27 unique animals, including a chicken, crow, hawk, dog, and seagull. Each animal can perform unique actions, including pooping with the seagull and barking and bitting with the dog. One of the peyote plants can be found near the lower gondola station on Mount Chiliad. Travel up the road that is next to the lower gondola station. Once you see the "Bell's End - Danger" sign to the left of the dirt road, go towards the cliff (the direction the "Danger" sign is pointing), then turn right and proceed forward to find two small wooden poles nearby with flapping red ribbons tied around them. Directly next to these two wooden poles is a peyote plant. Note: Play as animals is exclusive to the PC, PS4, and Xbox One versions of GTA 5.


Bastille Day celebrations often begin on July 13, when the pompiers (firefighters) of each arrondissement throw an outdoor party (Le bal des pompiers) from about 9:30pm-4am. (Here's a French article on which arrondissements have the best bal.) There's also a children's party beginning around 8:30pm in the 3ème. We didn't go to a bal because we our children are so young, and we wanted to be up early the next day for the parade.
With our little ones in tow, we didn't arrive until 40 minutes before the parade's start, and the Champs-Elysées was already packed with people five or six rows deep from the street. The police had put up barriers between the street and the back of the spectator area; they were screening bags and not allowing any liquids in. Once inside the barriers, we put our kids on our shoulders. No one behind us seemed to mind since they couldn't see much anyhow. The majority of people around us were foreign tourists, but there were a few French speakers as well. Some people had plastic flags that army recruiters had given out, but as Geraldine of Comme Une Française points out, in the past, personal flag displays in France have generally been associated with far right wing political groups.
There were big cheers for the pompiers--they're clearly a crowd favorite!
This year the parade began with the anti-terrorist units, followed by army troops with backhoes and missile launchers and other impressive equipment in tow. The President arrived at Avenue Friedland, but you wouldn't have know it from where we were. The air force flyover around 10:45 was a highlight--something everyone can see well! There were fighter jets streaming red, white, and blue smoke; then came bombers and helicopters. My three-year-old son wanted to know why the planes weren't "doing rainbows anymore." I admit, the colored smoke was awesome and it would have been great to see them repeat their flyover!
Bottom Line: Arrive super early at the eastern end of the Champs Elysées near Clemenceau.
There are several free concerts in the afternoon after the parade. This year there was one at Place de la République but we headed to the more kid-friendly Jardin de Luxembourg and enjoyed a brass band from Britain playing old American hits like Walkin' on Sunshine. By far though, the biggest and best concert was on the Champ de Mars just before the fireworks.
The crowd on the Champ de Mars on Bastille Day 2015. The distant concert stage is lit up under the Eiffel Tower.
The park at the Eiffel Tower (the Champ de Mars) is huge, but picnic seating fills up quickly--there were an estimated 500,000 people there this year, and 2 million people watching nearby! Plan ahead and bring a blanket, water or wine, food, cups, & utensils, along with playing cards. By dinner time, the shops around the tower have lines out the door for snacks and drinks, and cafés and restaurants are full.
We arrived at 5:45pm and while the main fields were full, we squeezed in to an area to the right of the stage and just behind the fenced-off playground. The free concert was of amazing quality (and televised live in seven countries), featuring the national orchestra of France, the choir of Radio France, Chinese pianist Lang Lang, and international soloists singing songs by Verdi, Puccini, and Offenbach. The concert ended with La Marseillaise and the kickoff of the fireworks.
Our infant son watching the tower sparkle during the concert. He slept through the fireworks show, which didn't start until 11pm.
The fireworks show was absolutely spectacular, with 35 minutes of music-themed pyrotechnics launched from the Eiffel Tower itself. The moment it started, the crowd fell silent--it was just jaw-dropping and truly unforgettable.
The price, though, for our amazing view was the two hours it took to get back to our apartment, which should have only been a 20 minute metro ride away. The police had closed the stations closest to the tower (including École Militaire), so my husband carried our sleeping three-year-old and we walked our six-year-old to Les Invalides, where overcrowded cars meant we couldn't get on the Metro until 1:30am. (Thankfully, the Metro ran until 2am, one hour longer than usual, for the holiday.) At least it was free that night!
Bottom line: the concert and show were truly unforgettable--but while our kids loved it, we felt guilty that it took us so long to get the kids home to bed. Another option would be to watch from the heights of Montmartre or from the (expensive) Bateaux Parisiens on the Seine.
What was the most memorable fireworks show you've ever seen? What is the largest crowd you've ever been in?

In underwater diving, task load indicates the degree of difficulty experienced when performing a task, and task loading describes the accumulation of tasks that are necessary to perform an operation. A light task loading can be managed by the operator with capacity to spare in case of contingencies.

Task loads may be measured and compared. NASA uses six sub-scales in their task load rating procedure. Three of these relate to the demands on the subject and the other three to interactions between subject and task. Ratings contain a large personal component and may vary considerably between subjects, and over time as experience is gained.
Mental Demands: How much mental and perceptual effort is required;
Physical Demands: How much physical effort is required;
Temporal Demands: How much time pressure the subject feels;
Own Performance: Rating of how successfully the task was performed;
Effort: Rating of how much effort was put into the task; and
Frustration: Rating of how frustrating or satisfying the task was to perform.

In underwater diving, task loading increases the risk of failure by the diver to undertake some key basic function which would normally be routine for safety underwater. A heavy task loading may overwhelm the diver if something does not go according to plan. This is particularly a problem in scuba diving, where the breathing gas supply is limited and delays may cause decompression obligations. The same workload may be a light task loading to a skilled diver with considerable experience of all the component tasks, and heavy task loading for a diver with little experience of some of the tasks.

Excessive task loading is implicated in many diving accidents, and may be limited by adding tasks one at a time, and adequately developing the requisite skills for each before adding more.

Common examples in scuba diving
Task loading is generally increased by any unplanned demand on the diver's attention, such as an emergency, an adverse change in environmental conditions, or a deviation from the dive plan. If this is added to an already marginally manageable task load, the diver may no longer be able to cope.

Common examples of activities which can contribute to high task loading are:
 underwater photography or videography
 underwater search and recovery
 underwater mapping
 diving in environments requiring use lights or guide reels (such as night diving, wreck diving and cave diving) or other additional equipment
 use of dry suits when unfamiliar
 driving a diver propulsion vehicle (DPV)
 diving in cold water has a distraction effect, which may reduce the capacity of the diver to manage complex tasks effectively
 breathing narcotic gas mixture indirectly affects task loading by reducing the capacity to manage the tasks effectively Nitrogen narcosis can distract or cause narrowing of attention, both of which can distract from other tasks.
 low visibility has a distracting effect as does low light levels
 use of a rebreather, particularly in the event of a malfunction. Manually controlling a rebreather is a higher task load than using an electronically controlled rebreather as long as the electronic control system is working correctly. If it malfunctions, the diver must manually control the unit, which is likely to be less familiar, and a higher task loading than a familiar manual control system.
 use of unfamiliar equipment, particularly combinations of several items that are unfamiliar.
 buoyancy problems - inability to establish appropriate buoyancy, particularly excessive buoyancy or severely inadequate buoyancy.
 trim problems - inability to trim as desired due to poor weight distribution

Common examples of routine functions that can be neglected as a result of task loading are:
 monitoring breathing gas supply properly
 maintaining buddy contact
 maintaining proper buoyancy
 monitoring depth and time to avoid no-decompression limits, or remain within planned decompression limits
 monitoring oxygen partial pressure in a rebreather
 maintaining contact with the guideline in a penetration dive

Management
Task loading is often identified as a key component in diving safety and diving accidents, although statistically it is difficult to monitor because divers with more experience can cope with a more complex array of tasks and equipment.  Simply controlling buoyancy while using a dry suit can call for great levels of attention in an inexperienced diver, but would be routine for an experienced cold water diver, and could be done safely while carrying a camera during a cave penetration or using a DPV.

Task loading represents an elevated risk when a new activity is undertaken by a diver. A diver learning how to use a dry suit, or starting underwater photography, or learning to operate a rebreather or manage multiple gas decompression will need to dedicate considerably more attention to the proper functioning of the new and unfamiliar piece of equipment which increases the risk of neglecting other critical responsibilities. Those risks will normally diminish with experience, provided that the experience is sufficiently concentrated and repeated to allow overlearning of skills and develop muscle memory.

Q: Creating Lock file in Programs Folder causes exception I recently decided to use an official installer for my Java application.
The application installs its self in the appropriate folder under the Programs Files.
Inside the bin folder where the jar for my application sits, I have a h2.db file which contains a bunch of information that is read by the application.
When I try running the application in the installed location I get an exception:

It works fine when its not in the Program Files location, as I would have noticed this while developing.
i'm thinking it has something to do with permissions and the lock file not able to be created or something. Is there a way to give/ask explicit permission to create the lock file or can I tell H2 to just not create the lock file?
We've thought about having the static database placed somewhere other then the install location, but since this has to run on Mac and PC and the way the installer is set up it would make things more complicated.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

A: It seems there are no access rights to write to this directory. You need to store the database file in a directory where you do have access rights.
For H2, if you use the database URL jdbc:h2:~/data/db, the database is stored relative to the current user home directory. Another alternative is to use an absolute path, for example jdbc:h2:c:/dir/to/db/file

A: This is caused by improved security in windows. You can write only when you have elevated privilages. For example if you start program as 'run as administrator', then it  may able to  write to Program Files area. Then it is not a good idea- see:  Bypass Windows permission restrictions on program files folder
You should use folder pointed by 'ProgramData'  variable.  or good old user.home area

A: On Mac OS X, you can use the known subdirectories of user.home cited here.
Java Web Start with suitable permissions may be an alternative, although I haven't tried it.


We've watched Hosea marry a woman of tarnished reputation and remain faithful to her even when she returns to her sordid profession. His love for her was so strong and relentless that He even went and bought her back, rescuing her a second time from the darkness of prostitution. That's unconditional, never ending love! But Hosea's love for Gomer was only a shadow, a living, breathing example and representation of God's love for Israel and for us.
Just like Gomer, Israel abandoned her one true Love and ran off after the world. She pursued pleasure, wealth, fame, and glory and completely forgot about the God who loved her and redeemed her. But God did not forget Israel. Though Israel broke her holy covenant with the LORD and committed spiritual adultery and multiple fronts, God remained faithful to this wayward people. His love for her never changed but actively pursued and sought to win her heart back. For God's love is unconditional, eternal, and relentless.
While this truth might not have been apparent throughout the whole book, it was the common theme and reason behind the entire book. Though the majority of the fourteen chapters of this book of prophesy were filled with messages of future judgment, accusation, and God's holy anger, at the end of the day it was all about love. A love that would not let sin go unpunished or a wayward people undisciplined. A love that says "I'm willing to allow hardship, judgment, and calamity into your life now in order to save you from eternal judgment and condemnation in the future." A love that was willing in the face of righteous and holy anger to forgive if they would only repent.
This is what the book of Hosea is all about. Though it is filled with many other things, in its simplicity it is a tale of love. And as we walk away from this study, if there is only one thing we can take away with us it should be this: God's love is unending and relentless; it will pursue us hard and far and will not give up on us. What an awesome and amazing, unfathomable love that is!
So what was your favorite verse from Hosea? What lessons did you learn? What truths did you take away from this often neglected book?

Phil: maybe we should ask you for writing reviews
Peddy - yes, a Greek band. I don't know much about them, but most of the songs on their 1st album are in English. I just bought it at random after Xmas with a bunch of other stuff.
Pissed off: How old are you? It's quite childish to write list of the bands with so-called Nazi members... just do one nice thing and PISS OFF! Wanker
Phil: I know just the name Ten Beers After...it is Greek band am I right?
I look back through your past reviews from the beginning and tell you which bands I would think were racist or NS, hated foreigners for no reason, or had people in them who were, even so if they had no racist lyrics.
*Loyalty (people in the band, I think most of them, also from Nazi band Battle Standard)
*Enhärjarna
*Battle Scarred (singer is a Nazi, band also had that Bisson arsehole in it)
*Les Vilains
*Kampfzone
*Pressure 28 (singer is a Nazi)
*I.C.1.
*Kill Baby, Kill!
*Antonella´s Klasse Kriminale (she is a supporter of an Italian fascist party and was in Battlezone)
*Brassic
*Punkfront
*Legitime Violence
*Breakout (the singer is a Nazi)
*Scum (the singer is a Nazi and was made to look silly when a photo of him stood infront off WP flags was put online, now he's singer in the Nazi band March Or Die)
*The Dirty Bunch (the singer is a Nazi)
*Youth Defense League (even though lots of people try to pretend they weren't today because they like the music, theres pics of them playing Nazi shows)
*Blood Red Eagle
*Venganza Tatuada
This is just the bands I know about. I don't include
*Bands that people argue about on the Facebook without proof,
*Because I looked at the album picture and got upset.
*Because of what record labels people are on.
*Because the bass player has a Skrewdriver Tshirt.
*Bands that sing about loving their countrys (love your country... hate nazis!)
*Bands have songs making jokes of communists and anarchos and crustys
None of that makes someone a Nazi.
Or some bands that have people in them from old Nazi bands who no longer support that, so I don't accuse TMF or THUG, though I see that many people will also have a problem with them because they think that they are just pretend to be normal oi!.
There might be some more (I listen to a lot of oi! in English langage and mainly a lot of USA and UK things) but its not many in 8 years of a website really and I am certainly not calling Peddy or anyone else who writes the site out as a fascism supporter. I just say here for your own information becuse you might not know about.
Stabber - human civilization is a wonderful idea, but uncivilized humans keep messing it up.


Introduction: Cervical disc herniation and degenerative disease of the cervical spine are the most common causes of cervical cord and nerve root dysfunction. The surgical treatment of cervical radiculopathy is still controversial. Instead of two possibilities, nowadays three possible treatments concur with each other: anterior cervical discectomy without implantation of any structure, anterior cervical discectomy with fusion, and finally, cervical discectomy with implantation of disc prosthesis.
Patients and methods: Twenty patients with cervical disc herniation with radiculopathy, which had not responded to conservative treatment were treated by anterior decompression and cervical disc replacement. All these patients were evaluated preoperatively clinically and radiologically (plain X-rays of cervical spine; A-P, Lateral and dynamic films: flexion, extension and oblique and MRI cervical spine). Nerve conduction study was done to exclude peripheral compression neuropathy and to confirm radiculopathy in selected cases where double entrapment phenomena suspected and followed up for a period of 1 month to 12 months.
The technique followed anterior decompression differed according to the way of reconstruction at each level and the patients were accordingly classified into three groups: group A (1-level fusion); where the anterior decompression was accomplished by single level cervical discectomy, and then insertion of cervical cage at this leve, group B (2-level fusion); where the anterior decompression was accomplished by double level cervical discectomy, and then insertion of cervical cage at both levels, group C (hybrid construct); where the anterior decompression was in the form of one level cervical discectomy, followed by cage implantation at this level and another level cervical discectomy followed by insertion of cervical disc prosthesis at the same time. Functional outcome was assessed according to Odom's criteria. Postoperative plain X-rays of cervical spine (A-P and Lateral) were done at follow-up visits (immediate postoperative, 3 months, 6 months 12 month postoperatively. MRI or CT of the cervical spine is done for patients routinely and for patients not improving or with persistent preoperative complaint or any new neurologic deficit.
Results and Discussion: The ages in our patient population ranged from 30 to 50 years, with a mean of 40 ± 5.9 years (mean ± standard deviation). 11/20 patients (55%) were males, and 9/20 (45%) were females. The commonest level affected is C5-C6 level. The most common complaint of patients is neck pain and radiculopathy. Anterior cervical discectomy followed by single level cervical fusion was done on 13 patients, while 5 patients were subjected to anterior cervical discectomy followed by double level cervical fusion and another 2 patients had anterior cervical discectomy followed by cervical artificial disc replacement at one level and zero profile implant insertion and fusion at another level.
Regarding the mean duration of hospital stay it was 2.4 days in the single level group while it was 3.8 days in the double level group and 4 days in the hybrid group. Regarding the functional outcome 9 patients (69.2%) had excellent outcome in the single level group versus 3 patients (60%) In the double level group and 2 patients (100%) in the hybrid group, while there were 3 patients (23.1%) who had good outcome in the single level group and 1 patient (20%) in the double level group, finally only one patient in the single level group and 1 patient in the double level group who had satisfactory outcome. There were 2 complications in this study, one (7.7%) in the single level group and one (20%) in the double level group. In the single level group 1 patient had removal of prosthesis due to device failure and hypermobility. In the double level group, one patient had temporary dysphagia and dysphonia.
Conclusion: Ideal treatment for cervical degenerative disc disease must deal with and improve its three components (axial neck pain, radiculopathy, and myelopathy), normalize cervical spine biomechanics so not to act as a nidus accelerating the degenerative process, and improves the functional outcome of the patient without serious complications. CDR and ACDF are both effective treatment strategies for managing degenerative conditions of the cervical spine. There is insufficient evidence to show which technique is the most effective and provides the longest-lasting symptom relief.

FEMA Corporation introduced the "Mechanical Solenoid" lock out actuator to increase safety for many applications such as the need to lock out a gear lever. A common example is when a lock-out unit prevents selection of reverse gear if the vehicle were moving forward. These lock out actuators are designed to withstand up to 1000 lbs of radial side loads to the pin, and are applied in similar fashion to a dead bolt lock on a door.
We supply these units primarily to mobile markets including automotive, truck, off road construction and agricultural. Please contact us for technical and application information.


I talk a lot. The nature of my career calls for it. Talk, share information, exchange ideas.
I listen. Learners have fun facts about their lives, their weekends, connections they have made to what we are learning about. I often ask them to wait a moment. I want to be sure that I am fully listening, not just half listening, but all in.
I find people so much easier to listen to than Jesus. (I may have just hit the heresy button.) I can clearly hear people. I don't always hear His voice clearly. It's often lost in the shuffle and busy moments of my day. But when I stop. When I genuinely pay attention, it often quietly resonates in my heart and mind.
Recently, I have been unable to escape this idea of calling. Called to continue in the career that I have been blessed with. Called to be involved in ministry in my church. Called to be obedient and write. Called to step out of my normal and try new things. Called to grow in my walk with God, to go higher and deeper where He continues to lead me.
Sometimes I respond readily to the call. It is that resounding, that impactful that I must move straightaway. Other times, I waffle in indecision. I can't figure out the way to go, even though He has it spelled out for me. Other times, I dig in. I am far from obedient. I don't want to do it, so I won't do it, so there and a defiant posture is assumed. When I throw my little, and sometimes big, moments of defiance at His plan I miss so much of what He has intended for me. I miss the blessings that walking in His way will bring. I miss hearing from Him clearly because I have chosen to ignore Him. When I finally do abandon my own plan and come around to His, I am grateful my gracious Father listens to me, forgives me and continues to build a deeper relationship with me.
I've made a career of talking and listening. If only my relationship with my Heavenly Father was full of quality communication too.

The Truth and Titus Collective
is creating Intersectional Institutional Transformation
In the name of equitable practices, we believe all giving is significant and important. We know that when one person gives, many can benefit.
About The Truth and Titus Collective
ABOUT US: The Truth and Titus Collective is emergent, interactive, intersectional, and collaborative in our approach to the work of facilitating equitable transformation at the individual and institutional levels. In our trainings we support participants in connecting with mind, body, spirit, history, and community. We seek to embody and elevate adaptability, accountability, and healing in our work. We aspire to cultivate brave space where people feel safe enough to risk authenticity, vulnerability, and growth. Our model does not shy away from prompting the cognitive dissonance and discomfort necessary to sustain equitable change. Every step of the way--both inside and outside of formal training--we offer love and support.
ABOUT OUR NAME: We aspire to take up the legacy that Sojourner Truth (1797-1883) and Frances Titus (1816-1894) left in Battle Creek. As four women of different races with the goal of achieving equity for all people and communities in Battle Creek, we consider them (Truth and Titus) chosen ancestors in this place and time. From Truth and Titus we have learned the importance of working toward political goals from sisterhood solidarity, in faith. From them we have learned the importance of using the access we have--to resources and communities--for the liberation of marginalized groups. From them we have learned how important it is to take care of each other even as we work toward what may seem impossible on the surface. We commit to having our work be grounded in their legacies. When we lose our way, or get frustrated, we will return to them for energy and staying power. We promise to tell their stories every time we start a new client, to keep their memory alive and build on the power of who they were/are. We promise to take a percentage of our money and donate it to the Sojourner Truth Institute as a form of reparations. We promise to remain open to learning more and more about these pioneering women who literally blessed the ground that we now walk on. As we do the work of intersectional equity at the institutional level here in Battle Creek and beyond, we know they are the ancestors we most need and this is why we claim their names.

Marine Conservation Volunteering
Despite covering over 70% of our planet, only 0.6% of the world oceans are protected. Humans are damaging the world's fragile marine ecosystems and the species they support at an alarming rate. Fishing practices are unsustainable, with stocks of our fished species expected to collapse before 2050. Billions of unwanted fish and other animals are caught as bycatch, with dolphins, turtles, seabirds, sharks, and corals dying due to inefficient, illegal, and destructive fishing practices. Pollution is suffocating and poisoning our oceans through oil spills, sewage, chemical and agricultural waste and plastic, with 20 million tonnes of plastic entering the oceans each year. So what can you do?
How marine volunteering helps
Marine conservation programmes are vitally important in the effort to protect species and their habitats. Frontier runs several marine conservation programmes, working in some of the most biodiverse but threatened marine areas on the planet. Volunteers support our trained scientific researchers in collecting baseline data and monitoring changes in marine biodiversity, contributing to the protection of threatened wildlife and ecosystems, whilst having the privilege of observing marine wildlife in its natural habitat. We are currently working on the protection of coral reefs, mangrove forests and seagrass meadows, and with species of shark, ray, turtle, dolphin, manatee and hundreds of fish and invertebrate species. Data collected on these projects is used to inform and educate governments, businesses and communities responsible for the conservation of these areas and species.
