She tried all sorts of new foods too!
Carrots... by the pics she hated it. First bite she was NOT impressed but she finished the bowl and will eat them just fine now.
Started fruits with Pears... I think she was excited for something sweet.
Peaches... not sure she liked them at first but she took to them.
Zucchini- This was her first time eating and picking up non pureed food. She struggled a little but is getting better.

She hung out in some wildflowers for some photos.

And Patton sure loves her! He comes and says hi to her any time she is on the ground.
She also got to play in some water over by Helen Hunt Falls in town and tour the Olympic Training Center.
And I am excited to say that she FINALLY hit the 14 lb. mark!! 14 lbs 8.5 oz to be exact! Yeah!!
She was only a half pound from gaining a full pound this month. That's big for this girl!
She is still a long, skinny little thing but she is a super happy girl and thriving in every other way so who cares!
Who knows what this next month will bring?!
Absolutely adorable! My boys are nine months too...it was definitely difficult to get their nine month pics. ;) That's so great that she is gaining a good amount of weight too! Hooray!

Latin Summer Language Program | Summer Language Institute, U.Va.
The Latin Summer Language Institute will help you to build the skills you need in order to read centuries' worth of texts—from the Classical Period through late antiquity and into the Middle Ages—in all the glory of their original language. Learning Latin will also enhance your knowledge of English, facilitate access to the modern Romance languages (French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and others, which developed from Latin), and indeed help you to grasp the structure of language more generally.
The Latin SLI provides you with an intensive study of the Latin language and an introduction to Latin literature. The program covers the equivalent of four semesters of college-level courses, and is designed either for students with no prior knowledge of Latin or those who wish to gain a more solid grounding in the fundamentals of the language. At the end of the program, you can expect to be able to read Latin on your own with the aid of a dictionary, and you will have the knowledge and ability to succeed in advanced courses in Latin.
We welcome both undergraduate and graduate students to apply, as well as any other applicants with a desire to learn this unique and fascinating language. Students may choose to enroll for credit or non-credit, but all students will be expected to fully participate in all aspects of the program. Students who have mastered a full year of Introductory Latin (or its equivalent) may apply for enrollment in the second half of the program only (the equivalent of Latin 2010 and 2020 at UVA).
The first half of the program introduces you to the grammar and basic vocabulary of the Latin language. You will apply that knowledge almost immediately, beginning to read short sentences from ancient Latin authors in the first week. This early exposure to unsimplified Latin in conjunction with drills and exercises gives you the best opportunity, especially valuable in the condensed timeframe of an intensive course, to learn what to expect from Latin texts.
The second half of the program allows students to read famous and influential works of both prose and poetry by authors such as Cicero, Ovid, and Vergil in original Latin. During this part of the program you will also learn to use common reference works such as dictionaries and grammar books to assist in reading Latin on your own.
You'll meet with your classmates as a group in the afternoons and evenings, and in smaller sections for the morning period. Evening office hours provide the chance to receive individualized instruction. Throughout the program, you will be learning and practicing the skills required for sight-reading—that is, how to apply what you know and fill in what you don't when you approach a new text on your own.

I'm interested in implementing custom status bar pane like in foo_autoplaylist.
I haven't found anything neither in foobar SDK nor in Columns UI SDK.
No, the status bar pane you are talking about is created by the user interface. It's for so-called playlist locks in general, an autoplaylist is merely a special kind of playlist lock. There is no API to add custom status bar panes.


With over 2,200 retailers anticipated to attend, it's the superb occasion to community with resolution makers and learn about the newest eCommerce information and developments. He says: This recreation was for entertainment, but in addition allowed customers to unlock rewards driving pre-festival site visitors to the 30,000 offline shops that participated, creating an immersive purchasing experience.
In fact, with the destruction attributable to Hurricane Harvey, Walmart ditched their sliding carousel that showcased products and deals for a static picture to show store closures and relief efforts.

There will always be people who will tell you that your dream is too big, that you're not qualified or able to accomplish it, or that you should give up on it. No one thought the Wright brothers would be the ones to get their plane to fly, but they kept at it. They didn't receive the media attention that others did, nor did they receive a government grant to build their plane. They believed in their dream when almost no one else did. They put in the work, shrugged off the doubters and built the first airplane that flew successfully. They made their dream a reality.
I've always heard, "If your dream doesn't scare you, it's not big enough." The dreams that God calls us to do are usually bigger than our ability. I believe He plants these dreams we're unqualified for in us so that we'll learn to depend on Him and know that there is no way we could ever do it on our own. There will be people who stand in your way, discourage you or even laugh at you when you tell them what God has called you to do. Be careful who you share your dream with and surround yourself with people who will lift you up in prayer. Most people won't see the potential in you that God sees.
Think of David as he told the soldiers he would fight Goliath. His brothers laughed at him and mocked him. When David told King Saul in 1 Samuel 17:33 that he would fight and defeat Goliath, Saul replied, "Don't be ridiculous! There's no way you can fight this Philistine and possibly win!" (NLT) David still stepped onto the battlefield and defeated Goliath. Like David, we need to trust God to accomplish what he put it our heart despite what others say or do. Don't let fear or intimidation keep you from stepping onto your battlefield. Obey what God tells you and let Him handle your giants.
My son loves to watch "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood" on my iPad. I think he loves Daniel Tiger so much because he sings songs that are easy for him to learn. My son started singing one of those songs recently when I was hanging a shelf in my room. He wanted to help, but the shelf was too heavy and too high for him so I asked him to sit on the bed and watch. He sang, "Everyone is big enough, big enough to do something." I couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're right." I handed him the screws to hold and had him pass me my level. He was big enough to help with that.
So many times in our lives we feel inadequate and under qualified. We take ourselves out of situations God has placed us in because we think we aren't the right person for the job. We underestimate the value that we bring and we use that as an excuse to not do what God has called us to. Esther felt the same way. She was just a girl who won a beauty contest and became the king's wife. She had no authority, no royal blood in her and was an orphan. She was the least qualified to stand before the king and get justice for her people.
Like anyone else in that situation, she made excuses as to why she couldn't do God's will. Her uncle, Mordecai, was unwilling to accept her excuses and sent her word that said, "Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?" (Esther 4:14) He understood that when God calls us to do something, He qualifies us to do it. He puts us right where He needs us in order to do what needs to be done. It's not up to us to use how we got into that position as a disqualifier. It's up to us to recognize why God has us where He does.
Each of us are qualified to do something for God. There are none of us who are perfect. None who are sinless. None who haven't made huge mistakes we regret. God, in His mercy, doesn't allow our past to keep us from doing His will. Instead, He embraces it and uses it to qualify us to carry out His will. What we think disqualifies us, God uses to qualify. What we think should keep us from helping Him is the very thing He wants to use. He uses the broken and scarred to help heal those with fresh wounds.
Don't ever fall for the lie that you cannot be used by God because of something you've done. If you have been forgiven by God, then you are just the person God is looking for. You don't have to sit on the sidelines and watch. You can hold out your hands and let God use them to accomplish what He can only do through you. Who knows, perhaps you went through what you went through for such a time as this? He can use your scars to prove He heals open wounds. He can use your brokenness to show how He mends the broken-hearted. He can use you, no matter what.
Like anyone else in that situation, she made excuses as to why she couldn't do God's will. Her uncle, Mordecai, was unwilling to accept her excuses and sent her word that said, "Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?" He understood that when God calls us to do something, He qualifies us to do it. He puts us right where He needs us in order to do what needs to be done. It's not up to us to use how we got into that position as a disqualifier. It's up to us to recognize why God has us where He does.
Don't ever fall for the lie that you cannot be used by God because of something you've done. If you have been forgiven by God, then you are just the person God is looking for. You don't have to sit on the sidelines and watch like I tried to do with my son. You can hold out your hands and let God use them to accomplish what He can only do through you. Who knows, perhaps you went through what you went through for such a time as this? He can use your scars to prove He heals open wounds. He can use your brokenness to show how He mends the broken-hearted. He can use you, no matter what.

Liverpool ace Sadio Mane reveals reason behind 'copied' celebrations that may surprise you
SADIO MANE has revealed that his team-mates are stealing his goal celebrations after Liverpool's perfect start to the Premier League season.
The Senegal forward has been in blistering form for the Reds after three goals in two games.
He followed up his brace against West Ham on the opening day of the season to score in the last minute against Crystal Palace to finish off a counter-attack started by Mohamed Salah.
It has seen them secure six points out of six, and without conceding a goal either.
But goal celebrations have caught the attentions of some fans in the past, whilst Mane's this season so far have been fairly conventional.
He ran off towards the away supporters on Monday night following his goal at Selhurst Park but the former Southampton striker has taken the time out to clear the air over those of his team-mates.
During his time at Anfield there have been some viral videos that show one of Mane's teammates celebrating a goal while the man himself does the same celebration in the background.
Then there was the pretend double gun salute by Roberto Firmino against Swansea, a kung-fu kick for another goal from the ex-Hoffenheim forward in the Champions League at Porto, and a few dances with Firmino and Philippe Coutinho when the Brazilian pair were still united at Liverpool.
Mane would be spotted in the background copying the celebrations, but the 26-year-old has set the record straight.
"The fans deserve to know the truth," he said in an exclusive interview with Copa90.
"Firmino copies me, not me copying him!.
"The kick was me. We try it in training. He scored and I was behind him, and he did it.
"The dance with Philippe and Bobby was mine too!"
All is well though on Merseyside, with Jurgen Klopp building a real sense of togetherness in the squad.
And Reds fans will be hoping that their good form continues this weekend when they host Brighton, buoyant after their defeat of Manchester United.

Top 10 Patterns From Kentucky Lake
Randy Haynes muscles a keeper toward the boat.
May 10, 2015 by Colin Moore
Given the fickleness of Kentucky Lake's postspawn bass, Tom Redington's performance in the Rayovac FLW Series Central Division tournament presented by Evinrude was made more remarkable by its consistency.
In what turned out to be a ledge slugfest, Redington lost nary a fish – or at least none that mattered – and chose the right bait from the get-go. Perhaps more importantly, he came as close as anyone to nailing down the timing puzzle and intercepting quality fish moving from the shallows to deep-water summer hangouts.
Fishing during the three-day event was better than many had envisioned, given that the lake had dropped by a foot or so just prior to the opening bell and sent bedding or shallow fish scampering back offshore. It didn't matter to Redington and a few others who figured out where to intercept the bass along their migration routes however. Here's a rundown on how the top 10 anglers got there.
Read about Redington's winning pattern here.
2. Randy Haynes, Counce, Tenn., 69-12, $15,000
Kentucky Lake set up to Haynes' liking and he seemed to catch fish everywhere he roamed, from the dam south to Tennessee waters. On the last day, however, Haynes ran out of big fish and lacked the kicker that might have rendered him bulletproof. As it was his 21-pound, 13-ounce limit was one of the best of the day.
Haynes was fishing Profound Outdoors Z-Boss 20 and 25 crankbaits on ledges inside or outside the mouths of major creeks and coves – pretty much the same sort of structure Redington was covering.
"It seemed like the fish were hitting the bait instead of eating it. I got tons of short strikes," says Haynes of Saturday's fishing. "The other two days, they were really nailing it. I should have done some things a little differently [Saturday] once I realized they were transitioning. Some of them moved on me too."
Haynes came within an eyelash of making Rayovac FLW Series history. Had he won, it would have meant a record sixth Rayovac title. At present, he's tied with Koby Kreiger and Bryan Schmitt with five Rayovac wins apiece.
Read about Hayne's pattern that allowed him to lead on day two here.
3. Brandon Hunter, Benton, Ky., 65-11, $12,000
Unlike some of the other top 10 contenders, Hunter caught his fish early in the day. In fact, he had a limit within minutes after sunup the first two days. In the championship round, he struggled to catch a limit early.
"I wound up culling three times, but I was beginning to wonder when the bites didn't come as quickly as they did the first two days," says the local favorite. "I was fishing just inside the mouth of a creek not to far from Moors [the tournament takeoff point]. These postspawn fish like to get really deep, so I was fishing in about 18 to 22 feet of water.
Hunter was using a Lucky Craft LC RTO 3.5XD crankbait and a 6-inch Basstrix swimbait in a shad pattern and slow-rolling the latter near the bottom.
"I fished a new spot Saturday afternoon. I saw more bass then, and it should have been the perfect setup, but I couldn't fire them up to save my life," says Hunter. "So the early bite was definitely the key for me."
4. David Fields, Murray, Ky., 63-15, $10,000
Were he not a bit too masculine-looking for the part, Fields might be the perfect Cinderella for this Central Division test. The local angler only decided to fish Tuesday afternoon, then rode around in his borrowed boat Wednesday afternoon for a few hours. That was practice. Still, Fields had enough experience on the lake to do some damage.
"I used a 7-inch Ignite Baits swimbait the whole tournament and caught fish with it out of 7 feet of water down to 19 feet of water," recalls Fields. "Really, after Friday I ran out of fish and just went fishing in places where I had caught them before. At about 12:45 today [Saturday] my co-angler and I found a school and caught a 5-pounder apiece. So it was a good ending to a great week."
Fields was slow-rolling the swimbait along the bottom most of the time, but noticed that burning it off the bottom in the morning drew more strikes. He fished creek and cove mouths from Blood River into Big Sandy Creek below Paris Landing.
5. Mark Rose, West Memphis, Ark., 63-6, $9,000
Rose's best spot was a secondary ledge just inside the mouth of a large cove where the bottom dropped from about 15 to 18 feet. The Walmart pro says the fish were holding more on top of the flat portion of the ledge rather than near the edge. He fished Strike King 6XD crankbaits on 12-pound-test Seaguar fluorocarbon and 8XD or 10XD models on 15-pound-test.
"It was all reaction bites for me," remarks Rose. "There are lots of fish were I was, but they have bloody tails and they're sulled up for the most part. Also, I had more company around me Saturday. I let one spot rest, then came back to it later and another boat was sitting on it. I didn't adjust well after that."
6. Jason Lambert, Pickwick Dam, Tenn., 63-4, $8,000
Lambert didn't think he would make the finals after coming in with a 17-pound, 2-ounce bag Thursday that put him in 19th place, but he rallied with 20-14 on day two and finished with day three's second best limit: 25-4.
"I got off to a bad start. I don't think I threw a bait big enough the first day, and when I changed my weights went up," says the offshore maestro, who finished up the tournament with a 7-inch Castaic Giant Jerky J on a 1-ounce prototype head and an 8-inch Castaic Heavy Metal spoon. "I must have caught 50 fish today, fishing from Moors to Paris on both sides of the lake."
Like Haynes, Lambert's fishing approach is to run over ledges and watch his graph. If he marks fish and thinks they're worth his attention, he stops and casts to them. Otherwise, he moves on.
"I had my limit by 7:30 and culled about 15 4-pounders during the day," he says. "I fished the swimbait along the bottom and would sweep the spoon and let it fall, sweep it and let it fall."
7. Clent Davis, Montevallo, Ala., 62-6, $7,000
Davis fished ledges, but his were along the main river channel. Davis didn't settle on his best spot until the first day of competition. In practice, he went over it and never marked a fish.
"The depth where I fished ran from about 17 feet to 27 feet deep, with the fish suspended between 10 and 15 feet," notes Davis, who was fishing a 7-inch prototype Nichols Lures swimbait, a Profound Outdoors Z-Boss 20 crankbait, a Yo-Zuri Duel Hardcore XX crankbait and a Mister Twister Swimsation.
"With the swimbaits, sometimes they wanted it with a slow, steady retrieve, but today I was burning it back," says Davis. "It didn't help that it was cloudy and there wasn't any current. It kind of spread them out and they suspended. The main thing was to get the bait in their faces. I saw some big gizzard shad, especially up near the dam, and the bass were feeding on them."
8. Curt McGuire, Paris, Tenn., 61-0, $6,000
After a slow start Saturday morning, McGuire got on a cooperative school and finished the day with 21-3.
"I saw more fish graphing today than I've seen all the rest of the week," says McGuire. "The fish were higher in the water and I was catching them about 7 or 8 feet deep over 10 or 15 feet of water. The best place for me was around the Highway 68 Bridge. I wish I had fished there the whole time; I realized I had been on the wrong end of the lake and should have stayed north the whole time. At 1:30 this afternoon, my co-angler and I stopped at one place and made three casts and caught three fish apiece."
McGuire's most productive baits were the prototype Nichols Lures swimbait and a Z-Boss 20 crankbait.
9. Seth Davis, Decatur, Tenn., 56-14, $5,000
Oddly, Davis spent most of his time fishing above the Highway 68 Bridge and told Saturday's weigh-in crowd that he regretted not running south instead. He fished farther back in spawning coves than most of the others, though still near creek channels.
The Tennessee angler mixed up his offerings, which ranged from slow-rolled 5- and 6-inch Reflexion and Strike King swimbaits to Texas-rigging 10-inch Strike King Rage Thumper worms rigged with a ½-ounce weight and a bead.
"Definitely, my best bites came in the mornings. Shell beds had to be there, too," says Davis. "The bait had to be hitting shell. I lost three 4- to 5-pounders today and that cost me because I only caught one fish over 4 ½ pounds. I fished everything on 15-pound-test Seaguar Red Label fluorocarbon.
10. Wesley Anderson, Moscow, Tenn., 40-6, $4,000
Though he had a decent payday, Anderson could have used a do-over credit. He failed to catch a keeper in the championship round, though he had no trouble the previous two days.
"I went back to my spot, which was toward the back of a spawning cove, and made several casts without catching a decent fish," recalls Anderson. "Finally, I ran over the spot and never marked anything. What fish were left just went. I think the school I was on was pretty well burned out by all the pressure. I caught fish later, just not the right size."
Anderson boated his two 20-pound-plus stringers Thursday and Friday on a 5 ½-inch Strike King Shadalicious swimbait, a Strike King 8XD crankbait and an 8-inch Nichols Magnum Flutter Spoon.

Q: AngularJS dynamic data binding in ng-repeat I want to call an attribute of an data-binded object dynamically based on the ng-repeat object. I have created a simple setup, can anybody solve this, if it is solvable like this?
The input should get the value of the "person.item".
For example: person.id  -> 100
http://jsfiddle.net/q7gs3njj/
html

        {{ item }}:
        <input  type="text"/>

    {{list}}

javascript
function TestController($scope) {
    $scope.list = [ 'id', 'name', 'gender' ];

    $person = { id:'100', name:'John', age:'22', gender:'Male' };

}

Thank you!

A: Of course, just use item as index:

        {{ item }}:
        <input  type="text" ng-model="person[item]"/>

    {{list}}

And the person must be in the scope:
function TestController($scope) {
    $scope.list = [ 'id', 'name', 'gender' ];
    $scope.person = { id:'100', name:'John', age:'22', gender:'Male' };
}

Grapes, sour cream and brown sugar — how can you go wrong?
Few things raise Minnesotans' collective glee quite like when our frosty state earns mention in the New York Times — particularly when America's paper of record gets Minnesota very, very wrong. Remember "Mort's"?
Condemnation was swift as it was harsh. Minnesotans had never even heard of grape salad, let alone made it part of they holiday traditions. What were they thinking? How could they give our beloved wild rice to, ugh, Wisconsin?? Those smug New Yorkers really don't have a clue.
But I, being an adoptive rather than native Minnesotan, like to think I keep a more open mind about these things. At least some MinnPost commenters claimed a history for the dish in the state, and, history aside, maybe it was just a good recipe. I had to try it. And wouldn't it have been delicious if this year's ironic grape salads became next year's — and many years' to come — beloved tradition?
Well, safe to say there's no danger of that happening. I made grape salad this year, and let me tell you: it is not good. You know how some really simple recipes end up greater than the sum of their parts? Grape salad is less. The consensus at the table was we'd have been better off with a bowl of plain grapes and a separate bowl of sour cream.
It's not helped by its appearance, either: the heat of the broiler melts the sour cream coating the grapes just enough to give the impression of — moldy grapes. Yum.
So no, New York Times, grape salad is not Minnesotan. But what's worse, it's not even very good.
Grape salad is far and away the worst thing on this plate.

14 Feb 2019 / 14:17 H.
WARSAW: The United States and Israel will lead a new push to pressure Iran at a conference on Thursday in Warsaw which is as notable for its absences as its attendees.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has managed to divert the spotlight by holding a simultaneous summit in the resort of Sochi with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan over the future of war-battered Syria.
The latest violence – and the conference – come just as the Shiite clerical regime was celebrating 40 years since the Islamic revolution that overthrew the pro-US shah.
Even Poland – always eager to please the United States as it fears a resurgent Russia – has gone to pains to say that it still backs the agreement alongside other European members.
The Israeli leader paid a rare visit last year to the Gulf sultanate, which has no official ties with Israel but has sought smooth relations with powers across the region, including Iran.
Several million Yemenis are on the brink of starvation and the country has suffered one of the worst cholera outbreaks in modern times, as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates – backed by the United States – seek to bomb and blockade Iranian-linked Huthi rebels into surrender.
Hunt – whose country is also a major arms supplier to Riyadh – met Tuesday evening in Warsaw jointly with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and senior officials from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

India's GDP estimated to rise 9.2% in FY 2021-22 compared to 7.3% contraction in 2020-21
New Delhi: The Indian economy is estimated to grow at 9.2 per cent in 2021-22, as against a contraction of 7.3 per cent in the previous fiscal, mainly due to improvement in the performance of agriculture and manufacturing sectors, the National Statistical Office (NSO) said on Friday.

"The growth in real GDP during 2021-22 is estimated at 9.2 percent as compared to the contraction of 7.3 percent in 2020-21," the NSO said in the report.

"Real GVA at Basic Prices is estimated at Rs 135.22 lakh crore in 2021-22, as against Rs 124.53 lakh crore in 2020-21, showing a growth of 8.6 percent," it added.
It must be noted that the estimated growth in real gross domestic product (GDP) is lower than Reserve Bank of India's projection of 9.5% made in its monetary policy committee meeting last month.
The NSO report also stated that the Gross Value Added (GVA) is expected to rise by 8.6% compared to a contraction of 6.2% in FY21.
"However, these are early projections for 2021-22," the Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation said in a statement.
Notably, amid COVID pandemic, the GDP of the country went up 20.1% in the first quarter of the fiscal year and 8.4% in the second quarter. The NSO report further claimed that the agriculture is estimated to grow 3.9% in FY22 compared to a growth of 3.6% in FY21 while manufacturing growth is estimated at 12.5% as against a contraction of 7.2% last fiscal.

Personal Delivery Devices (PDD): New Transportation Frontiers Emerge for Autonomous Vehicle Rulemakers
With regulatory frameworks around autonomous vehicles (AVs) under development at the federal, state, and local levels,[1] new autonomous technology frontiers are emerging for rulemakers. The latest is personal delivery devices (PDDs) – essentially small autonomous vehicles designed primarily for last-mile logistics using sidewalks and driveways, rather than public roads and highways.
Regulation of PDDs is truly nascent. Today, a limited number of states have, or are soon to have, PDD-specific statutes or regulations, including Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Ohio, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin. Each of these statutes has a few common features: Requirements related to size, speed, and weight limits, and active control and monitoring by an operator. Similar frameworks are also being developed at the city level, including in Washington, D.C. and Walnut Creek, CA.
The regulations are far from uniform. For example, while the Idaho statute includes an eighty (80) pound weight limit excluding cargo,[2] the resolution establishing a PDD pilot in Austin, TX allows for up to three hundred (300) pounds excluding cargo.[3]
The development of these regulatory frameworks is only the beginning: Similar to the regulation of AVs, regulators will have to look more comprehensively at PDDs over time, including at issues relating to human contact, cyber risk, and basic land use concerns, like the ones that have already stymied testing in San Francisco.[4] There, concerns that PDDs may lead to sidewalk congestion resulted in a policy that severely caps the number of PDDs that can be tested. Similar restrictive policy responses are possible in the absence of comprehensive, forward-looking regulatory framework development.

The Lassa Fever
Dr. Ebele Ugwuanyi
Lassa fever is a viral hemorrhagic fever caused by a rodent borne arena virus that is endemic in West Africa. It was first described in 1969 in a town called Lassa in Borno State, Nigeria.
It actually frequently infects people in West Africa (Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, and the Central African Republic) resulting in 300,000- 500,000 cases annually and about 5,000 deaths each year. The Primary animal host is the multimammate mouse (Mastomys natalensis) and it's found in most of SubSaharan Africa.
Virus is transmitted by contact with the feaces or urine of animals that have access to food stores in residences. Transmission may also occur from person to person when an individual makes contact with any tissue, blood excretions or secretions of an infected person, but casual contact will not spread the virus. Nosocomial transmission (transmission originating in a hospital) can also occur with contaminated needles or other medical equipment.
Symptoms begin one to three weeks after the initial infection and may include fever, back pain, abdominal pain, and sore throat, conjunctivitis swelling in the face, diarrhea, mucosal bleeding and proteinuria.
On occasion there have been reports of neurological issues such as tremors, encephalitis, and hearing loss. Symptoms can be very diverse making diagnosis challenging.
Diagnosis of Lassa fever requires laboratory testing. ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent serological assays) is used to find Lassa antigen and antibodies. It takes about a week to culture the virus if its post-mortem tissue specimens are picked for immunochemistry.
Prognosis and Complications
Approximately 20% of hospitalized Lassa fever patients die from the disease. Death rate is especially high in pregnant women in their 3rd trimester. If a mother is infected, approximately 95% of the unborn fetuses die.
Deafness is a standard complication of Lassa fever and can occur in varying degrees in approximately a third of all cases. Permanent loss of hearing is typical and another grave complication already mentioned above is sudden abortion.
Treatment for Lassa fever requires an antiviral medication called Ribavirin. Ribavirin is especially effective in the early stages of Lassa fever.
Other supportive treatments required for a full recovery include maintaining blood pressure, Oxygenation, and Electrolyte and Fluid levels. If there are secondary infections arising these should be treated as well.
Prevention and understanding Risks
People living in areas with mastomys rodents are at high risk as well as medical workers in such areas, and so care must be taking to wear protective gear when treating patients.
Preventative measures include avoiding contact with rodents, keeping foods in rodent-proof receptacles, and practicing excellent hygiene of the person and the household. Do not consume rodents; pest control and extermination is recommended.
Practice proper equipment sterilization and keep infected individuals isolated from others until full recovery.
Travel tidbits
WHO does not advise or recommend any restrictions on travel or trade with Nigeria, but travellers returning from affected areas who develop symptoms of fever, malaise, headache, sore throat, muscle pain, chest pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain should seek medical advice.
The Federal and State governments are responding to the outbreak by enhancing the disease surveillance for early detection, reinforcing treatment of patients, and conducting awareness campaigns among the affected population.

Siegfried Stark (* 12. června 1955, Rehna, Meklenbursko-Přední Pomořansko) je bývalý východoněmecký atlet, jehož specializací byl desetiboj.

V roce 1978 vybojoval na evropském šampionátu v Praze na stadionu Evžena Rošického bronzovou medaili. Nejlepšího výsledku dosáhl v předposlední, deváté disciplíně hodu oštěpem, když výkonem 69,00 metru soutěž vyhrál. O čtyři roky později získal bronz také na ME v atletice v Athénách, kde po prvním dni byl na průběžném 6. místě. Na stupně vítězů se nakonec probojoval, když zaznamenal jedny z nejlepších výkonů v hodu diskem, skoku o tyči a v oštěpu. Celkově nasbíral 8 433 bodů (8 472 bodů dle tabulek platných od 1. ledna 1985).

Dvakrát reprezentoval na letních olympijských hrách. V roce 1976 na olympiádě v Montrealu dokončil desetiboj na 6. místě (8 048 bodů). Na následujících olympijských hrách v Moskvě v roce 1980 soutěž nedokončil.

Disney Returns to 100 Acre Wood with a Live Action Winnie-The-Pooh Movie
I have to admit I didn't see this one coming. However, all signs are that it's true. Disney has confirmed it is working on a live-action Winnie-the-Pooh movie. The movie will follow Christopher Robin as an adult, when he returns to A.A. Milne's storybook creatures… Read More »Disney Returns to 100 Acre Wood with a Live Action Winnie-The-Pooh Movie
Winnie The Pooh DVD a Short, but Excellent, Visit With Childhood Friends
I was pleasantly surprised at how good a job Disney did bringing back the classic Winnie the Pooh characters in the 2011 Summer theatrical release of "Winnie The Pooh." If their goal was to closely duplicate the animated films Walt Disney was making in the late '50s and early '60s, they met their mark. At the same time, the story and characters received slight tweaks making it more accessible for today's audiences. Now you can add "Winnie the Pooh" on DVD, Blu-Ray, and/or Digital Download to your collection.
The story featured rich characterizations (both in writing and animation), tremendous voice work and tunes you could hum. During my viewing in the theater, I felt let down by the songs, but upon subsequent viewings, I've found the music to be something of a strength.
Another strength was the voice work. Narrated by John Cleese and featuring the vocal talents of legendary voice actor Jim Cummings (over 350 voices) and a host of other distinctive actors including Craig Ferguson (TV's 'The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson'), Tom Kenny (TV's 'SpongeBob SquarePants'), Bud Luckey (Toy Story 3) and musical performances by Zooey Deschanel. Ferguson's take on Owl was particularly appreciated as he helped the bird grow into a part that was larger than his previous incarnations.
The DVD/Blu-Ray combo is nice, but I did feel a bit let down by the lack of extras. Disney is hit and miss in this area, mostly miss. Sadly, you'll have to wait for future editions to get things like a commentary, behind the scenes footage, and other standard extras.
Instead of padding the feature to make it longer, Disney added The Ballad of Nessie which I felt was artistically wonderful, but lacking storywise. However my friends and family tell me I'm daft and Nessie was wonderful. So your mileage will vary.

Winnie The Pooh – New One Sheet
A new one sheet for Winnie The Pooh has been released:
They're definitely going for less is more with this poster. Also interesting are some of the names that have been attached as voice actors. Craig Ferguson, ruler of the late night talk show, and Huell Howser, who is best known for the public TV show "California's Gold," are interesting additions. I do like the idea of having John Cleese as narrator.

Download Book How The Laser Happened Adventures Of A Scientist in PDF format. You can Read Online How The Laser Happened Adventures Of A Scientist here in PDF, EPUB, Mobi or Docx formats.
In How the Laser Happened, Nobel laureate Charles Townes provides a highly personal look at some of the leading events in twentieth-century physics. Townes was inventor of the maser, of which the laser is one example; an originator of spectroscopy using microwaves; and a pioneer in the study of gas clouds in galaxies and around stars. Throughout his career he has also been deeply engaged with issues outside of academic research. He worked on applied research projects for Bell Labs; served on the board of directors for General Motors; and devoted extensive effort to advising the government on science, policy, and defense. This memoir traces his multifaceted career from its beginnings on the family farm in South Carolina. Spanning decades of ground-breaking research, the book provides a hands-on description of how working scientists and inventors get their ideas. It also gives a behind-the-scenes look at the scientific community, showing how scientists respond to new ideas and how they approach a variety of issues, from priority and patents to the social and political implications of their work. In addition, Townes touches on the sociology of science, uncovering some of the traditions and values that are invisible to an outsider. A towering and energetic figure, Townes has explored or pioneered most of the roles available to the modern scientist. In addition to fundamental research, he was actively involved in the practical uses of the laser and in the court cases to defend the patent rights. He was a founding member of the Jasons, an influential group of scientists that independently advises the government on defense policy, and he played an active part in scientific decisions and policies from the Truman through the Reagan administration. This lively memoir, packed with first-hand accounts and historical anecdotes, is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of science and an inspiring example for students considering scientific careers.
Palmetto Profiles documents the lives and accomplishments of the inductees of the South Carolina Hall of Fame during its first forty years. As Governor John C. West predicted in his dedication speech, the Hall of Fame has indeed become a "vital and integral part of the history and culture of South Carolina." Nearly ninety citizens have been inducted since Apollo 16 astronaut Colonel Charles Duke, Jr., became the first honoree in 1973. Each year one contemporary and one deceased individual is recognized by the hall for outstanding contributions to South Carolina's heritage and progress. To date, inductees have included political leaders and reformers, artists, writers, scientists, soldiers, clergy, educators, athletes, and others. U.S. president Andrew Jackson, authors Elizabeth Coker and Pat Conroy, jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie, artists Jasper Johns and Elizabeth O'Neil Verner, Catawba King Hagler, Generals Francis Marion and Thomas Sumter, civil rights leaders Mary McLeod Bethune and Reverend Benjamin E. Mays, U.S. senators J. Strom Thurmond and Fritz Hollings, and Nobel Prize winning physicist Charles H. Townes are just some of the representative South Carolinians memorialized in the Hall of Fame for their lasting legacies in the Palmetto State and beyond. Published on the fortieth anniversary of the opening of the South Carolina Hall of Fame and drawn from biographical entries in The South Carolina Encyclopedia, this guidebook presents concise profiles of the inductees from 1973 to 2013. Palmetto Profiles, like the Hall of Fame itself, serves as a tangible link to South Carolina's rich and complex past to the benefit of residents, visitors, and students alike. The volume also includes illustrations of all inductees and a foreword by Walter Edgar, a 2008 Hall of Fame inductee, author of South Carolina: A History, and editor of The South Carolina Encyclopedia.
Expand your skills in the rapidly growing field of laser dentistry! Principles and Practice of Laser Dentistry uses a concise, evidence-based approach in describing protocols and procedures. Dr. Robert A. Convissar, a renowned lecturer on this subject, has assembled a diverse panel of international contributors; he's also one of the first general dentists to use lasers in his practice. The book covers the history of lasers in dentistry and laser research, plus the use of lasers in periodontics, periodontal surgery, oral pathology, implantology, fixed and removable prosthetics, cosmetic procedures, endodontics, operative dentistry, pediatrics, orthodontics, and oral and maxillofacial surgery. Full-color images show the latest laser technology, surgical techniques, and key steps in patient treatment. Full-color photos and illustrations demonstrate surgical techniques and key teaching points. A Laser Fundamentals chapter describes the physics of lasers and the wavelengths that can produce better outcomes. Introducing Lasers into the Dental Practice chapter provides guidelines on investing in laser technology and in marketing this new procedure. Clinical Tip and Caution boxes include advice and alerts that can only be offered by a seasoned practitioner of 27 years.
The South Carolina Encyclopedia is a comprehensive single-volume reference for just about anything anyone would want to know about the Palmetto State's rich cultures and storied heritage, from prehistory to the present day. Under the editorial direction of distinguished historian Walter Edgar, five hundred ninety-eight contributors have come together to write more than one million words depicting the representative people, places, and things that define South Carolina. The encyclopedia is an authoritative, entertaining compilation of essays on a broad array of topics ranging from war and politics to arts and recreation, from agriculture and industry to popular culture and ethnicity. Among the nearly two thousand entries are such diverse subjects as the Boykin spaniel, John C. Calhoun, Sarah Moore Grimke, Hootie and the Blowfish, Indian mounds, Matthew J. Perry, Rainbow Row, Surfside Beach, and white lightning.
"Documents the major breakthroughs in science from ancient times to the present with emphasis on the modern era."--Thomson Gale description.
The Twentieth Century has been a time of great discovery for both men and women. Charles Townes, the scientist of Adventures of a Scientist, received the Nobel Prize in 1964 for discovering the principles behind the Laser, the practical applications of which has transformed modern civilization. Frances Townes, his wife, has also been on a trail of discovery, searching for the core of individual relatedness that must lie behind and beyond technology if our civilization is to survive. Her work with homeless and runaway youth in Berkeley, California, has been ground-breaking. Born in 1916, just as women were getting the vote, Frances confronted the conflicting demands of her generation. Her personal experiences, broader struggles and triumphs have helped redefine the role of women in the modern world.

Fellow bloggers- Has anyone else had a problem like what is described below? I suspect I have had my facebook hacked, but when I have written them I get NO reply except the one below. Would any of you send Facebook your pesonal Goverment ID such as a drivers license?
I have a huge problem with my facebook account. I do not have a mobile phone with texting capabilities.
When traveling out of town two days ago I used my lap top and tried to access my facebook. For some reason Facebook decided I had to submit a mobile number to Facebook so as to get a confirmation code to put in to prove who I am. I am not able to do that as my cell phone does not have texting capabilities. Facebook thinks I should follow the instructions below to be able to access my facebook account. This is a horrible idea as this is how identities are stolen. I am assuming that this email below is spam and a scam and that somehow my facebook account was hacked. Please advise me as to what I can do- or should I just forget it and not use facebook anymore?
Unfortunately, we can't assist you until you reply and attach identification that verifies the name submitted in your request.
Please attach a copy of one government-issued ID (ex: driver's license or passport) or two documents from a respected institution or business. Together these documents must show your full name, photo, and date of birth.
Note that we won't be able to assist you until we receive the proper documents.

Henry Ford (July 30, 1863 – April 7, 1947) was an American industrialist, the founder of the Ford Motor Company, and sponsor of the development of the assembly line technique of mass production. Although Ford did not invent the automobile, he developed and manufactured the first automobile that many middle class Americans could afford to buy. His introduction of the Model T automobile revolutionized transportation and American industry. As owner of the Ford Motor Company, he became one of the richest and best-known people in the world. He is credited with "Fordism": mass production of inexpensive goods coupled with high wages for workers. Ford had a global vision, with consumerism as the key to peace. His intense commitment to systematically lowering costs resulted in many technical and business innovations, including a franchise system that put dealerships throughout most of North America and in major cities on six continents. Ford left most of his vast wealth to the Ford Foundation but arranged for his family to control the company permanently.

Publication historyEdit
The story ran across 4 issues, each featuring one of the major titles in the Wildstorm Universe at that time: Sleeper, Stormwatch: Team Achilles, Wildcats 3.0 and The Authority. Each issue of the overarching storyline, which Jim Lee described as a "stand alone 4 part mini-series event", is a one-shot focusing on one of the four different groups and created by their respective writers and artists.[1]
There was also an "Afterword" issue including a preview to the second volume of Sleeper and a preview to the second volume of Wetworks, which was launched in mid-2006 by creator Whilce Portacio and writer Mike Carey.
In Coup d'Etat, Tao places a device in the hands of the U.S. Government that allows them to enter the Bleed, where it exploded, damaging a vessel of an alien race and starting an interdimensional war. The crossover had important consequences for the Wildstorm Universe with the Authority taking control over the U.S. Government and Stormwatch: Team Achilles being forced underground.
For Stormwatch: Team Achilles and Wildcats 3.0, most of these consequences could not be explored as both series were cancelled shortly afterwards. The Authority taking control of the U.S. Government led into the events of The Authority: Revolution.
Both the "Sleeper" and "Afterword" issues sold out, despite of what DC described as "generous overprints".[2]
Collected editionsEdit
The story was collected into a trade paperback:
Coup d'Etat (collects "Sleeper", "Stormwatch: Team Achilles", "Wildcats 3.0" and "The Authority" in that order, 112 pages, November 2004, ISBN 1-4012-0570-4)

A professional services firm was offered a substantial lease incentive in relation to their new fitout. The firm was questioning whether accepting these incentives was the right strategy and whether it would have adverse tax consequences.
Approaching our Tax Consulting team, we quickly identified a tax exposure from the suggested arrangement and provided a couple of alternatives to ensure that the lease incentive was not taxable to the professional services firm. Our timeliness enabled the client to complete their fitout without delay.
