Abstract: A bi-fluid micro-flow system is proposed for separating particles from its original solvent and re-diluting them into another solvent simultaneously. In this micro-flow system, two different miscible solvents flow parallel to each other through a 2-inlet-2-outlet micro-channel, where an acoustic standing wave is set up. Due to the differences in acoustic properties of these solvents, the pressure node of the acoustic wave is shifted from the middle line of the channel. Under the action of the acoustic radiation force, particles with positive φ-factors are extracted from their original solvent and re-suspended into the other solvent, wherein the pressure node resides. Particles suspended in the new solvent are collected at one of the two outlets downstream. Experiments were conducted on a prototype using two aqueous solutions: deionized water and 40% glycerin aqueous solution with polystyrene micro-particles. The results show that under the action of the acoustic standing wave, most of the particles were successfully transported from its original solvent to the other solvent and collected at the outlet. © 2010 World Scientific Publishing Company.

Release Blitz: Smoke Signals by B. Harmony
Smoke Signals | B. Harmony
A Perspective Series #3
As the new neighbor of the Burning Hills Fire Department, I try to win over the hunky firefighters with my tasty baking skills. Instead, I got the surprise of a lifetime.
I may be obsessed with the happily ever afters between the pages of my favorite books, too bad they never prepared me for what comes after a one-night stand.
Even I'm not dumb enough to fall for someone who calls me "kid", right?
As Fire Captain of Burning Hills Fire Department, I try to keep my flame from burning too bright.
He was supposed to be a one-night stand, not the new resident of the little blue house on the corner.
He too young, too out, and too risky.
There's absolutely no way I'm jeopardizing the life I built for myself on some kid.
Smoke Signals is the third and final book in the Perspective Series. A dual POV, age-gap MM romance with out-for-you themes, an avid romance reader, a sexy as sin Fire Captain, and the return of some of your favorite meddlesome characters. Although this series may be read as a standalone, the series is best enjoyed in order.
"I know damn well you don't think you're sneaking in here like that without an explanation." The sidelight in our hotel room flicks on, and I'm greeted with the sight of a shirtless Ev and his Teddy Bear, aka boyfriend Damon, sitting against the headboard. They're both staring at me with a stern expression I thought only my parents had perfected.
Giving up the pretense of slipping in silently and unnoticed, I drop my shoes just inside the closed door and walk over to the empty bed.
"Sorry, Daddy." I roll my eyes and toss my keys and wallet onto the side table.
"And where have you been, young man?" Damon joins in.
"Oh, for the love of Peter Pan, leave me alone. I'm a grown adult. I don't need to answer to either of you." I strip off my jeans and shirt, leaving behind my briefs, and crawl under the cool sheets. "The least you could do is say thank you for giving you space and privacy to do things I don't need to know the details of."
"Umm…no." Ev shakes his head. "I can smell the cum on you. Spill."
Damon quirks his head to the side and sniffs the air. "Is that what that is?"
They're ridiculous. I know darn well they don't smell anything. I cleaned up after messing around with Not-Gideon, thank you very much. At the most, they smell the cheap scent of the bar soap from the motel shower.
My phone finally pinged with the all-clear sometime around midnight, but I didn't leave the bed until closer to two-ish. Who can blame me? Fake name or not, Not-Gideon could throw it down. I'm shocked neither Damon nor Ev commented on my penguin walk across the floor. Three rounds with the hulk of a man—something I'll definitely be feeling for a few days—left me with a bit of a waddle.
"Holy shit. Do you see that smile?" Ev points out.
"Oh, leave me alone."
"Nope. I gotta live vicariously through you. I'm all cuffed up these days."
Catch up on the Perspective Series
Will we have our own love song, or will this just be another broken-hearted ballad?
When I read the roommate wanted ad, I thought my sister was encouraging me to live with an insane person.
Turns out, he isn't insane, just sexy and one-hundred percent my type. Living with him will be the ultimate test of my self-control.
When the combination of our love of music and my overwhelming need to take care of him meets jealousy, sparks fly.
His heart may be damaged, but nothing is beyond repair.
A sunny personality and punny t-shirts are nothing more than a shield protecting my heart, damaged by those who were meant to love me most.
Risking the tattered shreds on my new—straight—roommate is the last thing I should do.
Developing a friendship is one thing, falling in love is another.
When it turns out my roommate is not as straight as I once thought, I have to decide if this is one playlist I should listen to.
The B-Side is Book 1 in the Perspective series. A dual POV, low-angst, roommates-to-lovers, MM Romance novel. Featuring punny t-shirts for every occasion, killer playlists, meddling family and friends, and a happily-ever-after. Although this may be read as a standalone, the series is best enjoyed in order.
The silver screen has always been my gold standard of romance.
But sometimes you just need a change of pace.
Surely even I can handle a few months of casual fun without falling head over heels.
I'll never know unless I push the envelope.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
A quick job closer to home and then I'm out of here.
I have no intention of letting anyone clip my wings.
With the equivalent of Fort Knox around my heart, not even a sexy bear can tear it down, right?
Paper Airplanes is book 2 in the Perspective Series. A dual POV story featuring two men who most definitely do not understand how to navigate casual relationships, schoolyard forms of communication, meddling friends and family, a golden ball of fluff with a completely legitimate name, and a guaranteed HEA. Although this may be read as a standalone, the series is best enjoyed in order.
Bree Harmony, or B. Harmony is an MM romance author with a penchant for rock music, headbanging, and writing about boys who kiss boys. Pretty obvious with the last name Harmony, right?
With survival instincts fueled by iced coffee and far too many swear words to rival any sailor, B. Harmony somehow manages to produce (mostly sweet) contemporary MM romance, with plenty of steam.

Theo Reese is just like any other seventeen-year-old—with one small exception.
This summer all he wants is to spend time with his boyfriend, Eddie, and work on his MIT research project. His parents have other plans.
An old friend needs the help of Theo's family. Oliver Glenwood is an '80s music star who runs his own label. His wife and his daughter, Sofia, now a chart topper herself, are the targets of kidnappers. Oliver hopes they can eliminate whoever is behind the threat.
When Theo uncovers an even more insidious plot, the covert agency the Reeses work for, Tactical Operational Support, swoops into action.
Song files have been modified to steal personal data from devices and emit a tone that drives listeners into a homicidal rage. Theo and his parents race against the clock to stop this mysterious enemy from releasing the music on an unsuspecting populace and causing worldwide chaos.
Just when Theo thinks the mission couldn't be more complicated, Eddie shows up in New York looking to hang out with his boyfriend.
No one ever said being a teenage secret agent would be easy.
"So tell us what's happened." Dad straightened in his chair and shifted into his authoritative all-business voice.
Oliver nodded. "Two days ago Sofia and I were in Central Park for a photo shoot for her next album. It attracted a fair amount of attention because word spread on social media that we were there. Three guys rushed us from nowhere. Thankfully we were able to manage it, but they almost had Sofia in an SUV before my guys got their act together." Panic flashed in his eyes. "We were in the northern part of the park and regular vehicles aren't allowed up there, so how did they even get in? And why can no one figure out who they are? It's like they disappeared."
"Has anything unusual been going on?" Mom picked up with the questions. "Recently fired people with a grudge? Business deals that went sideways?"
Oliver shrugged. "No more than usual. My team's vetted the people who have left the company—both fired and leaving on their own—from the past six months. No red flags. As for business deals. We turn things down all the time, but none of it seems out of the ordinary. We can re-review if you think it'd reveal anything."
"Why don't you let us do it?" Dad asked. "If it's someone inside your organization, you might get false information back."
"Won't you raise more suspicions?"
Mom and Dad looked at each other.
"No." Dad smiled, and Oliver seemed to relax. "Just tell us the employees and the companies we need to look at and we'll take it from there. What about your personal security?"
"I'm worried they can't do the job. There were four of them in the park and… well."
"We'll examine security from top to bottom." Mom looked to Dad. "I'll take physical security. We'll use Theo's expertise to examine your IT network and see if there're any red flags there." Her eyes darted to me as she mentioned my name, and I nodded.
Oliver's brow wrinkled as he tried to reconcile that bit of information. "You're a security expert?" It was cool he looked at me as he asked and not to my parents. He managed to not sound condescending either, even though he wasn't sure.
"Yes, sir." I reached into my back pocket, pulled my wallet, and fished out a business card. These were for show, but I kept a couple on me just in case. "I have a consulting firm." I handed over the card and he studied it. It was plain white with "Theodore Reese—Cyber Security Specialist" in two lines at the center of the card. In the lower corners were an email address and phone number.
"He's been brilliant with computers for years, and he's taken courses at MIT for the past two years." I didn't get to see Mom be the proud parent very often, so it was nice to see her light up talking about my accomplishments.
"Thanks." We traded nods.

The brawny Dom and the beautiful Diva—and the secrets they keep.
A personal trainer and part-time escort, Liam is burly, bossy, and perfectly cast as the resident Dom at the Haven Hotel. And if anything falls outside that box—like the lacy lingerie he keeps hidden in his gym bag—that's easily ignored, right?
Felix's career as a successful model means being at the beck and call of anyone who requires him. He's expected to be satisfied with glamour, money, and subservience. No one would ever believe his secret desire to take control.
When Liam agrees to show the outrageously pretty and delicate Felix around Liam's infamous Room 8, neither one expects the disobedient desire that sparks between two such opposite men.
Felix is looking for a lover who'll let him call the shots, whereas Liam is fighting the desire to submit. Their passion and power could make for a kinky role reversal.
They just have to surrender to their deepest needs.
Felix's curiosity was fascinating. In many ways, he was so cool and so confident: he made me feel large and clumsy when he strolled past me to peer in the top drawer. And I was well aware of the looks he drew, both at the gym, and when we arrived at the Haven. But the longer he was in Room 8, just the two of us together, the more the surface glamour faded and he just seemed like… another guy.
He made an irritated noise and pushed back his hair. It had worked loose from its topknot, as I'd noticed it often did. A drop of sweat glimmered under his ear. I had an irresistible urge to lean forward, settle my hand at the base of his skull, and lick that up.
"Here. Let me." I stepped behind him, swept his hair up in my hand, twisted it, and fastened it back into place.
"What did you use?" he asked.
"It's just a leather tie." There was a pile of them in the drawer, of various lengths. This one was dark red, glossy, and looked good against his blond hair. The tips were pale green today, and brought out a muted hint of the same colour in his irises.
I watched the pulse in his throat as he swallowed, my hand lingering, brushing my fingertips over the shorter hairs on his nape. I wanted to take hold of him; to stroke him all over.
"Did you ask me?" he said softly.
I paused, because there was a jarring, yet strangely familiar edge to his voice. "Ask you what?"
"If you could touch my hair." His casual tone had faded, the laughter no longer behind his words. "If you could touch me."
I'd just wanted to help. But something stopped me saying that aloud.
"I should have checked first," I said, instead.
"Yes. Just remember that." He turned until he faced me, his eyes unnaturally bright. There were spots of colour high on his cheeks as if he was already aroused. He cupped my jaw with his left hand, and brushed his thumb over my lower lip. "Though my answer would have been Green."

Q: Surface integral of surface equation with more than two parameter I need to do a surface integral of a parametric surface of the following form,

$$\textbf{r}(u,v)=\langle\textbf{x}(u,v),\textbf{y}(u,v),\textbf{z}(u,v)\rangle$$

But the problem is both $u$ and $v$ are function of three other variable $p_1, p_2$ and $p_3$ and I want $p_1, p_2$ and $p_3$ as the integration variable. So the actual equation becomes like this,

$$\textbf{r}(p_1,p_2,p_3)=\langle\textbf{x}(p_1,p_2,p_3),\textbf{y}(p_1,p_2,p_3),\textbf{z}(p_1,p_2,p_3)\rangle$$

I have found surface integral equations for the first kind of equation that I wrote. Can anyone please help me on how I can integrate the second kind of surface with $p_1, p_2$ and $p_3$ being the integration variable?

Susan B. Anthony List v. Driehaus: SCOTUS skeptical over Ohio law
04/22/14 04:09 PM —Updated 04/22/14 05:07 PM
By Adam Serwer
Supreme Court justices turned a skeptical eye towards an Ohio law banning knowingly false statements in political campaigns Tuesday with one justice adopting an analogy to the dystopian novel 1984 to describe the law's impact.
"The mere fact that a private individual can chill somebody's speech does not say, well, since a private individual can do it, you know, the ministry of truth can do it," Justice Antonin Scalia told Ohio State Solicitor Eric Murphy. Scalia was adopting an analogy deployed earlier by Michael Carvin, the attorney representing the anti-abortion rights group Susan B. Anthony List, who said "Our constitutional claim here is the ministry of truth has no ability to judge our political speech as falsity." The Ministry of Truth is the part of the totalitarian government in 1984 responsible for state propaganda, ironically named because it produces politically expedient lies.
The Daily Rundown, 4/22/14, 10:38 AM ET
Does 'false statement' law violate free speech?
The Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments that look at whether victims of intentionally false claims during a political campaign can sue, a first step to potentially make it illegal to lie about a political candidate. But would this violate free…
share tweet email save Embed
Experts believe the high court will rule on whether or not Susan B. Anthony List can challenge the law, not on whether the law itself is constitutional, but Scalia wasn't the only justice whose distaste for the Ohio law seeped into an argument that was technically supposed to be about standing. In 2010, the anti-abortion rights group Susan B. Anthony List wanted to put up a billboard attacking Democratic Ohio Rep. Steve Driehaus's support for the Affordable Care Act as a vote for "taxpayer funded abortion." Public funds for abortion have been banned since the 1970s, and President Obama signed an executive order barring the Affordable Care Act from funding abortion. So, Driehaus filed a complaint with the state election commission, which found probable cause to believe the statement was false.
Driehaus lost and the complaint was withdrawn, but since Susan B. Anthony List has every intention of running similar ads against Democrats in the future, the group is arguing the law is an infringement on their First Amendment rights. Civil liberties groups like the ACLU that support abortion rights and worry about the Ohio law's impact on political speech have backed Susan B. Anthony List's argument that they should be allowed to challenge the law. They fear that, should the high court side against the group, future challenges to laws that abridge speech would be harder to mount.
Murphy argued that since there was no pending prosecution, the group shouldn't be allowed to challenge the law yet. Courts are supposed to only take on matters when someone has or is likely to be harmed by a law.
"You're making it sound like the commission hears every political statement out there," Murphy said in response to criticism of the law by Scalia. "But it has to be filed by a person, and only one person filed a complaint against the SBA this last time, and he is in Africa now. So I don't think he'll be filing complaints any time soon."
"He really lost, didn't he," Scalia noted to laughter in the courtroom.
Though some of the Democratic-appointed justices seemed to be more on-the-fence than their conservative counterparts, at least one of them, Justice Stephen Breyer, seemed ready to side with Susan B. Anthony List.
"Why can't a person say, you know, there are things I want to say politically, and the Constitution says that the state does not have the right to abridge my speech, and I intend to say them. And if I say them, there's a serious risk that I will be had up before a commission and could be fined," Breyer said. "What's the harm? I can't speak; that's the harm."
Attempting to tease out the contradictions of trying to prove a political argument true or false, Breyer asked Murphy if the commission would go after a group that called a politician a "murderer" for voting for legislation that lead to the death of cats. Murphy said "probably not."
Murphy made a valiant effort to defend the law, but the justices sympathies seemed to be with the challengers. While the court might not be unanimous in agreeing that Susan B. Anthony List has a right to challenge the law, a majority seemed willing to side with the anti-abortion rights group, and if it ever makes it to the high court on the merits, it's probably toast.

Windhand is an American doom metal band formed in Richmond, Virginia, in 2008. Currently signed to Relapse Records, Windhand released their most recent album, Eternal Return, in October 2018.

History
Windhand formed in 2008 with singer Dorthia Cottrell, guitarists Asechiah Bogdan (formerly of Alabama Thunderpussy) and Garrett Morris, bassist Nathan Hilbish and drummer Jeff Loucks.

In 2010, they released a two-song demo titled Practice Space Demo. Loucks was then replaced by former The Might Could drummer Ryan Wolfe. The band signed with Forcefield Records and released their eponymous debut album in 2012. Hilbish left the band and was replaced by Parker Chandler. Shortly after, the band left Forcefield and signed to Relapse Records, which released their second album, Soma, in 2013. The album reached No. 24 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart, making it the band's first release to make a Billboard chart, and was named one of the year's best heavy metal albums by Rolling Stone.

In 2013, Windhand released the split album Reflection of the Negative with Cough and another with the band Salem's Pot, simply titled Windhand / Salem's Pot, followed by the live album Live at Roadburn 2014 the next year. In 2015, with Jack Endino as producer, they recorded and released their third album, Grief's Infernal Flower, which peaked at No. 16 on the Billboard Hard Rock Albums chart and No. 7 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart, and was named the 17th-best album of 2015 by Consequence of Sound. Founding guitarist Asechiah Bogdan then left the band and was not replaced.

In early 2018, Windhand released the split EP Windhand / Satan's Satyrs with fellow Virginia band Satan's Satyrs. This EP reached No. 11 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart. Their fourth full-length album, Eternal Return, again with Endino producing, was released in October 2018. That album reached No. 3 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart.

This research seeks to understand the constructed meaning within the professional and personal lives of UK primary school Teaching Assistant practitioners in response to critical events during their work in a Nurture Group, using a collaborative, transformative narrative inquiry approach. Nurture Group provision is targeted to address the needs of children with Social, Emotional and Mental Health difficulties. As such, critical events may often be related to physically and emotionally challenging behaviours. The data was collected from two Teaching Assistant practitioners in two phases: Phase 1 consisted of a clinical supervision approach to provide a safe, supportive space to allow practitioners to reflect on their practice. This space provided a listening and sympathetically aligned, researcher, in that the researcher's professional experience includes Nurture Groups work. The discussion was recorded and transcribed. Phase 2 began with the practitioners receiving the transcriptions from phase 1. Through collaborative negotiation, key critical events were identified. The practitioner was then invited to relate the narrative following on from the critical event, with prompts to explore both professional and personal realms. The data from both phases is used to identify the meaning and impact of the critical events as constructed by the practitioners through an empowering and agential process. The narrative inquiry approach, with its implied inclusivity, through the rejection of normative, positivist measures for data, reflects the inclusive values and approach of the six principles of nurture (Lucas, Insley and Buckland 2006), which form the foundation of Nurture Group practice. The social construction of meaning in relation to contextual significance is emphasised through the researcher's professional experiences working in Nurture Groups and the developing relationship between the researcher and the practitioners. This shared contextual understanding, provided enhanced agency for the practitioners. The validity of the practitioners' constructed meaning is given greater status through being deeply heard (Rogers 1967) by the researcher within a discourse of shared values and experiences. The constructed narratives reflect the discourses lived by the practitioners in their attempts to come to terms with the macro-level of critical events and negotiate a path between the meso-level professional and personal identities within the context of work which focusses on emotional and phsycho-social support for children and young people. The examination of the practitioners' narratives gives the opportunity for leaders and policy makers to gain an authentic understanding of the impact of professional experiences on the subjective meanings (West 1996) of their personal lives and, as such, understand that practitioners' need to be heard should be an integral part of their professional learning journey.

Jude sat at the desk in the room that John had shown him to. It was nicely decorated even if it wasn't exactly his style. All of the furniture was very rustic, made of finished wood. It was proper wood too, not particleboard like most things these days. The walls were all decorated with old tools and things. Jude's immediate thought while he was being shown the place was that he would be spending the next week or so sleeping in a Cracker Barrel, but he supposed that wasn't so bad really.
He looked out the window and sighed. A beautiful bird of some kind landed on his windowsill, and sat still for a moment. It felt briefly like it was looking into his eyes right before it took off. He almost wanted to stay in his room and lay around all day, but he didn't drive all the way to Wyoming just to sit in a different house, so he decided to go outside. It was a beautiful day after all. He might go for a run, or see what Zoey and Guillermo were up to.
He passed by both Zoey's room and Guillermo's room, but neither of them were there. Figuring they must be doing something outside if they weren't inside, Jude made his way to join them.
He stepped out of the front door, and smelled the fresh air. It really was a sensation. The sun beamed down on him, with a gentle breeze cooling him to the perfect temperature. It was completely peaceful.
He heard something coming from around the corner of the house that sounded like an animal running. Moments later a cute little white baby goat came running around the corner. The goat ran past Jude, and gave him a wide berth. Jude then heard something else coming from around the corner of the house, that sounded a decent bit louder. From around the corner came John, closely followed by Zoey.
"Catch that goat!" John shouted, now looking at Jude.
He turned back to the goat and saw it was some hundred feet away, and about to reach the other corner of the house. He kicked off from the ground, and flew low. Within seconds, the goat was in Jude's arms, desperately attempting to get away.
John and Zoey ran the rest of the way over, and John relieved Jude of the goat, slipping a lead around its neck.
"Well, I'll be!" John said. "You're pretty darn fast, huh Jude?"
Jude smiled awkwardly, not really sure what to say in response to that. He hadn't really worked for this ability or anything, he just happened to have it.
"I'll tell ya what, why don't we do something interesting?" He said with a smile. "I wanna race you."
Jude didn't have the best feeling about this, and within moments, he found himself standing in a field next to John, who was on a reddish brown horse, with Zoey and Guillermo standing off to the side. The field was relatively clear, and about the size of a football field, but more square. A worn wooden fence surrounded the entire thing.
"Alright, here's the rules." John began. "It's a simple race, first to make it around the field, hugging the fence, wins. I'm on a horse, and you're on foot."
"On foot?" Jude's jaw dropped. "You're on a horse."
"And you have superpowers, so I'd call it fair." John shrugged.
"So on foot means I can fly then, right?"
"No, it means on foot, like running. Your other powers aren't off limits though, as long as you're running. Except for blasting, don't blast anyone." John seemed to sense Jude's disbelief. "Just humor me, will you? I think you'll find this to be a valuable learning experience if you give it your all."
Jude sighed and shrugged. "If you insist, I'll give it a try."
They both took their stances as Zoey counted them down. John shot off ahead immediately, with Jude trailing at an increasing distance.
Jude felt terribly unsurprised by this development, as his opponent was mounted, but something about John's words to him struck him as significant. He did say he'd give it his all, so he figured he may as well try to use his powers somehow. Blasting and flight were his two main powers, and they were right out, unless he could somehow propel himself with blasting while still running. He considered it for a moment, then decided against it, as he didn't like his odds of not accidentally incinerating anything. He had dealt with Deven enough to know that he had some kind of supernatural strength, so he wondered if perhaps he could concentrate that in his legs to go faster.
Jude concentrated, and tried to push into the ground as hard as he could, focusing the direction on forwards rather than up. He locked his eyes on the horse that was now over halfway around the field, and gave it all he had.
The motions felt unnatural, but powerful. The distance began to close between them, as Jude found himself going increasingly fast, taking massive strides at once. To a viewer it might've looked like flying close to the ground while moving his legs, but Jude could definitely feel the difference. This motion was all in his legs.
John was nearing the finish line, when Jude caught up to him and blitzed past him. He crossed the finish line, and braced himself on his knees as he tried to catch his breath.
"Wow, Jude!" Zoey ran up to him. "That was so cool, you outran a horse!"
Jude nodded. "I did it…"
"I told you it would be worthwhile." John sauntered up behind them, and dismounted. "I think that power of yours has got a whole lot of aspects that you ain't quite explored yet." He patted him on the back, then turned to Zoey and Guillermo. "Now, how do y'all feel about some lunch? I've worked up an appetite myself."
Zoey and Guillermo fell in behind him, saying something, but Jude just stared at John as he walked off. That was strange how much he seemed to know about Jude's power. He himself wouldn't have thought of doing that, so what kind of intel did this guy have?
"You coming?" John faced Jude, now a distance away.
"Yeah…" Jude called, before following.

Magneta Lane is an all female band with a punk-like sound. In the style of Joan Jett, Chrissie Hynde, and Debbie Harry, these ladies know how to rock out and are doing so on their new album, Witchrock, is released on February 12.
Magneta Lane was formed in Toronto in 2003. Paper Bag records issued their first release, The Constant Lover, in 2004.
After much touring in Canada and the United States, the band, at a very young age, became slightly burnt out. The girls then got a new manager and a chance meeting with some powerful music executives, which led to renewed creative energies. Which brings us back to Witchrock.
I was sent these four tracks from the album to listen to. I had not heard of Magneta Lane before so was excited to learn of local talent.
I was blown away from the first track I played, Burn. Quickly I realized this was my kind of music, being the HUGE punk fan that I am. The fast beat and drumming in the background reminded me of a female version of The Strokes. Listening to the other tracks, my opinion didn't sway but grew stronger. I hear the punk inspiration clearly and yet in a modern way.
So in the end I have to admit I am a new fan. I look forward to these ladies putting out more music and touring again. They are definitely up my alley!
You can learn more about Magneta Lane by visiting their Facebook Fan Page or their website. They also have an Amazon page where you can purchase their other tracks and albums.

Clarence Thomas is one of my living heroes, along with Thomas Sowell. Other heroes have been Milton Friedman and John Lewis. I admired Milton Friedman for showing how basic economics can be applied to solve everyday problems and John Lewis for his courage during the Civil Rights Era. What I admire about Clarence Thomas is that he makes no apologies for his love of America and love of the Constitution. He interprets the Constitution as written and disavows those who wish that it is a "living document." With the additions of Gorsuch, Barrett and Kavanaugh to the court, this has become Thomas' court and not that of John Roberts. Consider the important rulings in this term of the court: abortion, the Second Amendment, the overreach of the administrative state, public prayer and school choice. The rulings on Roe and on the Second Amendment were particularly satisfying for Thomas. However, Thomas' position that the court should interpret the law and not make policy is embedded in all of these major decisions.
Thomas, conservatives and even some liberal jurists have long recognized that Roe was a flawed ruling. In the past, the Court has not overturned Roe and merely tweaked it. In its ruling on Casey, the court held that the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment allowed abortions prior to fetal viability. The Dobbs case challenged Casey stating that technology had shifted viability to 15 weeks. After hearing the arguments on Dobbs, the court ruled 6-3 for Dobbs and 5-4 to overturn Roe. This was a victory for Thomas who from the beginning had long sought to overturn Roe on Constitutional grounds. What was particularly interesting is that the minority opinion espoused by Kagan did not object on the basis of the law but argued for Roe to continue because it had been on the books for 50 years. Although the left sought to characterize the Court's ruling as making abortion illegal, it did no such thing. As Justice Kavanaugh wrote, the Constitution is neutral on abortion which now is returned to the states and is no longer the province of the Federal government.
The second victory for Thomas was a second amendment case in which he wrote the majority opinion. The court ruled 6-3 that the New York restrictions on concealed carry were unconstitutional. Previously, the court had overturned New York restrictions on the right to self-defense in the home. In the ruling against the restrictions on concealed carry, Thomas wrote that the Second Amendment did not draw a home/public distinction with respect to the right to bear arms. Like the ruling on abortion, Joe Biden condemned the ruling by the court arguing more for the effects of the ruling as opposed to its legal standing. Also, troubling have been the rants from elected officials on the left attacking the justices personally and their calling them "illegitimate". So much for the rule of law.
Although the left's attack on Kavanaugh and Barrett have been vicious, those on Thomas have been beyond the pale. They have been particularly vitriolic in large part because he is black. Some have called for his impeachment and worse yet others have said that he should be assassinated. Other black conservatives like Sen Tim Scott, Bob Woodson, Jason Riley and Glenn Loury have been verbally attacked but none to the degree of Clarence Thomas. Yet Thomas is steadfast in his beliefs and in his interpretation of the Constitution. He has not wavered and been inconsistent like some Republican appointees such as David Souter, Sandra Day O'Connor, Anthony Kennedy and now Brett Kavanaugh and John Roberts. For that, the left hates him.
In another time, Thomas would merit inclusion in John Kennedy's Profiles in Courage. For his strength of convictions and defiance of those who try to intimidate him, Clarence Thomas remains one of my living heroes.
Focus on the Law: Amendment 1
Rule of the minority?
Kavanaugh Great Pick for Supreme Court


Pseudobulbar affect is a common symptom in neurodegenerative diseases and can also result from lesions in cortical, subcortical and brainstem regions. In Parkinson's disease (PD), pseudobulbar affect (PBA) can occur as a wearing off phenomenon, manifested usually as crying without emotionality. In addition, subthalamic (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been reported to induce PBA in PD patients with no prior history of such episodes.
We present a case of inappropriate laughter lacking mirth as a levodopa OFF phenomenon in a patient with PD, whose laughter also worsened with STN-DBS in his non-medicated state. Levodopa ameliorated his PBA both with and without stimulation.
The case demonstrates pseudobulbar laughter as a levodopa OFF phenomenon that is also exacerbated by STN-DBS.
We report a case of pseudobulbar laughter in a patient with PD as a levodopa off phenomenon that is further exacerbated by STN-DBS.
A 52-year-old man with Parkinson's Disease with STN-DBS presented with pseudobulbar laughter in the OFF medication/ON Stimulation state. At the age of 40, the patient developed tremors in his fingers accompanied by stiffness in his limbs and asymmetric left side bradykinesia. In the ensuing years, he was plagued by motor fluctuations and dyskinesia with unpredictable offs and freezing of gait. His presurgical neuropsychiatric assessment did not reveal underlying depression or anxiety. He was never treated with antidepressants or antipsychotic medications. On the morning of his implantation of bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS at an outside institution, he reports that he had bouts of uncontrollable laughter without mirth for the first time in the surgical waiting area prior to be taken into the operating room. He was supposedly off of his PD medications for at least 12 h at that time. Following the surgery, which occurred without complications, attempts by other clinicians to program his DBS while he was off his PD medications apparently produced inappropriate episodes of laughter. Over the next 9–12 months, though his dyskinesia improved, he continued to have motor fluctuations with no evidence of PBA.
This case describes pseudobulbar laughter as a levodopa off phenomenon. Non-motor symptoms (NMS) of Parkinson's disease include anxiety, mood changes, and panic attacks, as well as autonomic changes  (e.g., sweating, abdominal discomfort, numbness, and pain) Such symptoms can occur as an OFF phenomenon that improves with dopaminergic therapy . Pseudobulbar affect is not uncommon in PD especially in the advanced stages. Inappropriate crying is the most common manifestation of PBA in this disease  though it is often associated with a state of depression. It has also been described as occurring in the Off medication state . Our patient's bouts of laughter, which lacked mirth, is not only indicative of PBA, but its onset and resolution as a function of levodopa dosing supports it as an non-motor OFF phenomenon. Lack of levodopa tends to produce a dysphoric state, which makes the presence of non-mirthful laugher in such a condition very interesting and difficult to differentiate as a product of an emotional stimulus despite this patient not having a history of depression or being on antidepressants.
Pseudobulbar affect has also been reported as a stimulation induced effect in PD patients with STN-DBS (see Table 1). Krack et al.  demonstrated acute mirthful laughter in two PD patients with STN DBS, stimulated at either a ventral or dorsal contact. Stimulation activation patterns also seem to have little bearing on inducing PBA as both monopolar [6, 7] and bipolar  stimulation have been implicated. The possibility of carryover effect or incomplete washout of stimulation is significantly reduced given the prolonged period of time (45 min) that our patient was off stimulation . The only other reported case of pathological laughter related to stereotactic surgery occurred in a patient post thalamotomy .
The acute worsening of non-mirthful laughter was evident with increased stimulation in our patient through all contacts, though there was a clear propensity for greater effect among the ventral contacts. The STN has several functional regions including: 1) the dorsolateral area, which governs motor control; 2) the ventromedial region that interfaces with limbic circuits. The medial STN is also adjacent to the lateral hypothalamus and embryologically develops along with it. It is plausible that medial STN stimulation impacts cognitive and emotional networks thus triggering PBA. Furthermore, the facial flushing and diaphoresis observed at higher voltages through the ventral contacts, not only supports medial spread of stimulation but also effects on the lateral hypothalamus which could also potentiate it as a limbic release phenomenon.
The fasciorespiratory center lies in the brainstem and was postulated by Wilson  that unknown descending cortical pathways, which when disconnected by a lesion, releases voluntary control of the involuntary laughter and crying centers. Cortical, subcortical and brainstem lesions  have been associated with PBA, with a quantitative MRI study among MS patients with PBA  revealing distribution of putative lesions in the prefrontal, parietal and brainstem. Cognitive studies [16, 17] suggest that the prefrontal cortex is a mediator of emotional expression that receives input from the parietal cortex and also sends projections to the hypothalamus and brainstem. In addition, the cerebellar outflow pathways may also serve as a modulator of involuntary expression of emotion . Therefore, stimulation in fiber tracts surrounding the STN (caudal zona incerta, medial forebrain bundle, prelemniscal, and caudal internal capsule ) could possibly inhibit the voluntary brainstem emotional expression circuit, thus resulting in pseudobulbar laughter. The fact that stimulation worsened PBA in our patient further suggests that the emotional expressivity network may have been primed in the OFF state.
This case highlights pseudobulbar laughter as a novel Parkinson's off phenomenon that is negatively affected by STN-DBS, yet ameliorated, like all other non-motor offs, with levodopa.

Each year in May, about 1500 students graduate from Harvard. And within months of their graduation, there is a big, observable jump in both ice cream sales and the number of shark attacks. The data is predictable and tightly correlated, so obviously graduating from Harvard leads to shark attacks.
Okay, perhaps Harvard graduates are not the cause of increased shark attacks (maybe ice cream is the real culprit). Or maybe there is something else going on here.
When you confuse correlation with causation, you're going to be misled. Sadly, we humans are suckers for the shell game called correlation. We love correlation stories as much as we love ice cream. Speaking of eating, have you heard that eating breakfast helps you maintain a healthy weight? But before you pour yourself a bowl a Fruit Loops, watch this video about correlation and learn why many of those studies reached the wrong conclusion.
So what do sharks and Harvard grads have to do with recruiting?
Typical recruiting processes rely entirely on the shifting sands of correlation. People confuse what is readily observable with what actually makes a difference. Think about what happens when you scan a resume. Your focus in on finding a set of attributes that correlate with what you think it takes to be successful in a job. Maybe you see a Harvard degree and think, "I bet she's smart and driven." (Or maybe you think, "He's probably an elitist snob." Either way, your brain fell into the correlation trap.) You formed your opinion based on what you saw, and ignored information you could not see. Obviously not all smart and driven people went to Harvard, and not all Harvard graduates are smart and driven.
Actually, I'm being too kind to traditional recruiting. Recruiting not only gets causation wrong, it doesn't even get correlation right.
The only reason to hire is to solve a business problem, but recruiters never try to find everyone in your job market with attributes correlated to solving the business problem. They only look for the small subset of people with backgrounds that the hiring manager believes can successfully solve a business problem. If the manager has a limited background – or worse, a limited imagination – that limits who will be considered. When the hiring manager can't imagine solving the business problem another way, then the recruiter will also eliminate all the people who solve the problem another way. Recruiters follow the fastest path to getting the hiring manager off their back, they don't have the luxury of considering that maybe the manager's list of correlated skills is a fantasy. So when the hiring manager describes a unicorn, the recruiter goes hunting. And hunting for manager-defined correlations often gets the same results as hunting for unicorns.
So if correlation-based recruiting is not the answer, what is?
The next evolution of recruiting is market research. Traditionally, the recruiter asks the hiring manager for directions – getting the manager's one known route to job competency. Then the recruiter drives up and down the manager's route looking for "perfect" resumes. The assumption is that someone good must be on that path right now, because the manager was probably on that same path years ago.
But a market research approach is more akin to Google's fleet of Maps cars, constantly learning about all the new paths that lead to job competency. A diverse recruiting approach not only considers more people, it helps discover nonobvious factors that might cause someone to be successful. Armed with market data, a recruiter can engage in a meaningful dialogue with the hiring manager, rather than simply asking, "Do you want fries with that?" as they pack their bags for the unicorn hunt.
When you begin to consider more people from other industries or nontraditional backgrounds, you find yourself competing for talent in a much deeper, much broader pool. So you also need to think more broadly about compensation. You'll often find your competition for your new star candidate is an entirely different set of employers than you're used to competing with.
Evaluate a job by a standard set of metrics you use to evaluate every job.
Use the grade or title to set the compensation based on other organizations in your industry.
Understand the business problem to be solved, and the metrics you will use to define what success looks like. Think about attributes that will be most critical to driving success.
Then explore a range of people who might have those critical attributes before seriously considering any particular candidate. Look at where else that kind of candidate might work (expand your definition of who you are competing with for talent).
Then moving forward into the actual recruiting for the job, remaining flexible on compensation, to ensure that you consider all the people who are most likely to be able to solve the business problem.
A market-research approach to recruiting means that your hiring results and business results become inextricably linked. Yes, you might need to think about your organizational structure and compensation levels. Yes, it does demand more from your recruiting team.
But at least you can stop being the patsy in the correlation shell game.

I really like this basket it is very sturdy and it is so much better than the ones you get from walmart. This is higher quality and better made.
32.3-inches tall x 30.7-inches wide x 18.1-inches deep With stringent quality control methods, laundry basket on wheels.
On the side you can see that it is build to last and is rust resistant.
Has super nice handles with nice grips I love this. I wish all the carts had this on it.
Nice hooks that slide nicely and has rubber grips on the hooks are cool.
these wheel are rubber and roll nicely and not plastic like the others. And you can lock it if you need to. So if your going to get a rolling laundry cart this is the one to get. Far as I know you can only get this brand on amazon. The name of the company that makes this is Saganizer so could google it and see what all they make. I personally back this brand and this cart and would buy this brand from now on.


JEFFERY, Harold - Harold John Jeffery a lifelong resident of Goderich, passed away December 25th, 2018 at the age of 88. He is survived by his beloved wife of 63 years Norma (Warnock) and adoring children, Kim (Jim) Hesser, Michael (Janice Fraser) Jeffery, Susan (David) Glousher, and Jennifer (Jeff) Denomy. He was much loved by his 13 grandchildren: Matthew Hesser (Kerry McCann), Jillian Glousher, Tanya (Marc) Lazor, Jeffery Glousher (Mary Frances Frayne), Mallory Denomy (Matt Summerfield) , Julia Jeffery Garza, Alexa Jeffery Garza, Jacob Denomy, Olivia Denomy and Sydney Mitchell and two great grandchildren Sofia Jeffery Garza and Rosie Glousher. He will be forever remembered by many nieces and nephews and their families. Harold was predeceased by his parents John Jeffery (BHC) and Evaline (Ellacott) and his sister Eleanor Seltzer and her husband William Seltzer, sister-in-laws Sharon Cook and Karen Butler. Harold is survived by one sister-in-law Joan Milner and brother-in-law Jack Cook Harold lived his entire life in Goderich and as a young boy began helping his father build homes and cottages in the Goderich area. In 1947 he joined his father in founding John Jeffery and Son Planing Mill and Builders Supply at 163 Elgin Avenue. In the beginning the company manufactured sashes, doors, kitchen cupboards and vanities, moulding and other custom made items. The expanding retail business and demand for specialty work soon required full time attention, custom home building was halted, and the business became John Jeffery and Son Building Supplies a banner that Harold continued to work under until the last post. Harold played guitar and was a trombonist with the Sundowners and in the Goderich Laketown Band. He built the first structure, a precursor to the existing band shell in Harbour Park, when the idea of Sunday night concerts was first conceived. He and his First Mate Norma and his four deckhands, were fixtures of the Goderich Sailing club in Snug Harbour and later at the Inlet Marina in their sailboat Felicity. Harold was never without a book in hand. His favourite subjects being history and nautical tales. He particularly enjoyed reading all of Samuel Pepys diaries and delighted in sharing the naughty exploits of the 17th century bad boy. Harold instilled the love of reading and books to his whole family. Friends were received at the MCCALLUM AND PALLA FUNERAL HOME (11 Cambria Road North, Goderich) on Friday, December 28th, 2018 from 2 -4 and 7 – 9 PM. A funeral service was held at the McCallum and Palla Funeral Home on Saturday, December 29th, 2018 at 11 AM. In lieu of flowers memorial donations to the JOHN HINDMARSH ENVIRONMENTAL TRUST FUND or the HURON COUNTY LIBRARY – GODERICH BRANCH would be appreciated as expressions of sympathy.
Very saddened to hear this. May he Rest In Peace. Condolences and prayers to Norma and family through this difficult time.


Over the past 12 months the children at Grange Pre-School, overlooking the works at Grange, had become increasingly intrigued as they watched the comings and goings of the diggers and crane activities on site. It was with great excitement that they learned that Sam Maidment had organised a Digger Day for them to get up close to an actual 'digger'.

Today marks 10 years since LeBron James made 'The Decision'
Christopher Capozziello-Getty Images
July 8, 2020 12:57 pm ET
It's been 10 years since LeBron James changed the landscape of the NBA, how athletes conduct business, and also how the media works with those athletes to tell their stories. Today marks the 10-year anniversary of LeBron James and ESPN's airing of "The Decision," an idea hatched by media executive Ari Emmanuel, longtime journalist Jim Gray and LeBron's business partner/trusted friend, Maverick Carter.
The proceeds of the event were given to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and while it was widely reviled in its time, mostly due to the execution of the event more so than the actual action, it set the blueprint for James and his business partners to expand their platform, as well as a blueprint for other athletes to chart their own paths to business success outside of the lines.
It also created a new form of sports media, with players being tellers of their own stories. LeBron's UNINTERRUPTED and the Player's Tribune popped up shortly after this, as athletes not only realized they could tell their own stories but get paid good money to do it. Also, the NBA under Adam Silver has taken a direction in tone from predecessor David Stern, approaching players as business partners rather than employees.
With The Decision, Carter and James leveraged LeBron's celebrity into a moment that, while in the short term turned public opinion against him, made him even more famous than he already was. That fame has been parlayed into almost anything, whether it be free airtime on the world's biggest sports network, office space on the Warner Bros. lot, or a 2% stake in the Liverpool Football Club at literally no cost. It was a turning point for LeBron in using his platform not only to advance his narrative but to financially benefit from doing so.
There is no question that without The Decision, much of what James and his business partners have accomplished likely would not have come to fruition. It was shortly after that move that Rich Paul became LeBron's agent and now Paul is moving away from day-to-day agenting, focusing on being the CEO of Klutch Sports, with burgeoning football and baseball divisions alongside their stacked NBA clientele.
10 years on, the legacy of The Decision is still playing out.

Spiros Latsis
Spiros J. Latsis (Greek: Σπύρος Λάτσης; born 1946) is a Greek billionaire, and business magnate. He is the son of the late tycoon Yiannis Latsis, who died in 2003.[2] In 2018, Spiros Latsis ranked #729 on the Forbes World's Billionaires list, with wealth listed at US $3.2 billion.[3]

Dorothy Baddeley
Parent(s)
Yiannis Latsis
Erietta Tsoukala
Spiro Latsis is the son of Yiannis Latsis and Erietta Tsoukala. He has two sisters, Marianna and Margarita Latsis.[4] He was educated at the London School of Economics (LSE) where, in 1968, he obtained a bachelor's degree in economics. In 1970, he received a master's degree in logic and scientific method. He went on to pursue his doctorate and obtained a PhD in philosophy from the LSE in 1974.[5]
Career and family business
His father John Latsis started building the family fortune in 1938 as a trader and later a ship-owner. He grew his business into a fleet of ships by the 1960s. He built up a number of business interests in the areas of shipping, real estate, construction and oil, plus banking and finance.[6] Latsis joined the family business initially in the banking arm.
From 1989, Latsis became a director of some companies within the EFG Group, the family banking Holding Group, including Private Financial Holdings Limited which became EFG Private Bank Limited in London, and EFG Consolidated Holding SA in Luxembourg. The following year, he also assumed the role of director of Eurofinanciere d'Investissements SAM in Monaco and became a non-Executive Director of Eurobank Ergasias SA in Athens. Dr Latsis officially assumed the role of Chairman of the EFG Group in 1997.[7]
After the death of his father in 2003, Latsis took over the direction of the Latsis Group of companies.[4] Since that time, Latsis, while remaining Chairman of EFG Bank (the family bank holding company) has become a director of EFG International and Consolidated Lamda Holdings, serves as President of Societe d'Etudes et Economiques in Geneva, and is Chairman of several other companies including Paneuropean Oil and Industrial Holdings S.A. in Luxembourg.[7]
In 2015 Latsis was the second wealthiest Greek, ranked #782 on the 2015 Forbes list of the world's richest people. Latsis saw his wealth significantly decline during Greece's recession, with stocks of his EFG Eurobank, Lamda Development and Hellenic Petroleum all falling significantly in 2011, but recovered in 2013. Latsis invited the President of the European Commission, José Manuel Durão Barroso, who had been a student friend at the London School of Economics, to be a guest on his yacht. Subsequently, allegations were made in the press that this somehow influenced Commission decisions but these have been disproved.
The family's largest holding is its EFG Bank European Financial Group in Luxembourg, a private banking group that operates in many jurisdictions. The Group holds over 40% of EFG International listed in Switzerland on the Zurich Stock Exchange, which is a global private banking group offering private banking and asset management services. EFGI's group of private banking businesses operates in around 30 locations worldwide, with 3,572 employees and manages CHF144.5bn of client assets as at 31 December 2016.[8]
The Latsis family fortune, managed by Spiro Latsis, includes more than 42% in Hellenic Petroleum, a major petroleum player in Southern Europe, through its ownership of Paneuropean Oil and Industrial Holdings S.A.. The Latsis group also controls Lamda Development, a real estate group based in Athens. Lamda Development projects include The Mall Athens, which opened in 2005, and Golden Hall Mall, also in Athens. Latsis also started PrivateAir, a jet charter service with over 50 planes in its repertoire serving affluent European and American travelers, and which he has since sold.[1]
Honours, recognition, and philanthropy
In 2006 Latsis received an honorary doctorate from Witten/Herdecke University in Witten, Germany recognizing his work in the field of economics.[9]
In addition to his various business holdings, Latsis (with his family) helps to fund the John S. Latsis Public Benefit Foundation and the International Latsis Foundation in Geneva. In 2012, he transferred around $300 million of his Greek banking stock holdings to various members of the Latsis family, with a contribution also going to the Foundation.[1]
The John S. Latsis Public Benefit Foundation helps to fund programs in the areas of education, scientific research, social welfare, and culture.[10] The Geneva Foundation funds five scientific awards per annum as well as a number of conferences at the Swiss Polytechnic Institutes in Lausanne and Zurich as well as the University of Geneva.

Heston goes retro and takes on the decade he remembers most fondly, creating a 70s feast that reflects his schoolboy food experiences. For this feast, Heston serves an aperitif of savoury ice lollies, followed by DIY noodles inspired by Pot Noodle. For the main Heston takes on the hated 70s school dinner of spam fritters, lumpy mash and cabbage, and transforms it into a luxury treat. Finally, guests are served a flying dessert. And Heston transforms the dining room into his old school classroom circa 1976, complete with a school dinners serving hatch and bike sheds.

Archivel és una pedania murciana integrada administrativament en el municipi de Caravaca de la Cruz i situada entre les pedanies de Barranda i moratallera de Campo de San Juan.

Segons el cens de 2005 compte en l'actualitat amb 1.207 habitants (581 dones i 626 homes), encara que hi ha previsió de construir vuit mil habitatges en la zona del Roblecillo.

Durant l'any 2002 es van recollir multitud de signatures per a aconseguir un ajuntament propi per al poble que actualment depèn de Caravaca de la Cruz. Donat el seu volum de població, el seu creixement urbanístic i els impostos que es recapten en concepte d'escombraries, IBI, etc., un ajuntament propi podria mantenir-se i permetria gestionar els propis recursos del poble, que a més oferix grans atractius turístics, no només a nivell de turisme rural sinó per les seves troballes arqueològiques, que podrien potenciar-se des del mateix poble sense haver de ser desviats o oblidats per ser una pedanía de Caravaca de la Cruz.

La història d'Archivel aporta un ric patrimoni arqueològic a la Comunitat Murciana. La qualitat i fertilitat de les seves terres, juntament amb la presència de riques deus d'aigua, van fer d'Archivel un lloc privilegiat per a l'assentament.

En els vessants del Turó de la Font han aparegut vestigis d'un poblament de l'Edat del Coure amb continuïtat en un assentament argáric del Segon mil·lenni a. C. En l'actualitat es conserva en perfecte estat el traçat del recinte emmurallat el qual, elaborat a força de carreu irregular, prop la part alta del turó.

La presència musulmana en la zona resulta escassa, gairebé nul·la, i seria després de dos segles de despoblació quan en el XV es va iniciar una repoblació en el territori archivelero que va definir la seva actual configuració.

La vila d'Archivel sempre va estar vinculada al consell de Caravaca de la Cruz encara que en el  durant un període de tretze anys, va tenir ajuntament propi.
