Contemporary adoptions often require a leap of faith on both sides of the process. Playwright Jane Anderson whose "The Baby Dance" was embraced by women who have contemplated, or experienced, adopting a child, brought the challenge to the fore in her 1989 work.
That "Baby," which won applause from many when it debuted, dealt with the ups and downs in the lives of a woman about to give up a child she has carried for nine months, and the more financially stable woman who is unable to give birth herself but still longs for a baby to nurture and support through life.
Now Anderson has transformed the plot to stir in the element of race with "The Baby Dance: Mixed" making its debut at Ventura's Rubicon Theatre. Joining the project as director is Rubicon artistic associate Jenny Sullivan, who also directed the original "Baby" when it debuted.

In "The Baby Dance: Mixed" Anderson has refocused the play by having the pregnancy that of an African-American couple, Wanda and Al, who live in a Louisiana trailer park, and a Los Angeles mixed race couple, Regina, who is black, and Richard, who is white.
As the play opens Wanda and Al are shown in their kitchen where she is awaiting a visit from Regina. Al, played with interment turbulence but lots of charm by Gabriel Lawrence, is in and out of the trailer where their conversation rocks and rolls between irritation and affection. Their other four children are living with family members, the major reason Wanda (Krystle Rose Simmons) is willing to let their expected baby be adopted. Contributing to the unsettling situation is the steamy weather.
Regina (Tracey A. Leigh) enters bearing a gift for the expected child, and soon starts to react to Wanda's earnest efforts as a host. Regina finds Wanda's casual but friendly lifestyle unsettling, realizing that the life she and her husband Richard (Brian Robert Burns) have is much more structured and goal-oriented. Still, the women do bond over the baby despite the concerns of each about the lifestyle of the other. Al, meanwhile, is quite casual about putting some of the financial support being supplied by Regina and Richard to any use that seems urgent to him.
Each of them clings to expectations that seem unlikely to be satisfyingly met.
The second act, miraculously set up by a total change of scene achieved by multiple stagehands during the brief intermission, is set in a hospital room in Monroe, Louisiana, where Wanda is about to give birth. A briefcase-carrying attorney, Ron (Carl Palmer), is at her bedside ready with paperwork to be signed by all.
Even before Wanda is dispatched to the delivery room, Richard is nervously mulling the whole situation, the money it has been costing him and Regina during the pregnancy, and even the thought of actually having a child for which to care. Emotions boil over for all when the birth is announced and hopes and fears rise in a situation that will be life-changing.

Anderson has created an intense situation that changes the dynamics of the play from the juxtaposition of the poor and the rich that anchored "The Baby Dance" to a drama softened by a comic tone that is likely to be thought-provoking for many but disturbing for some.
Simmons, Lawrence and Leigh deliver sterling performances through it all. Burns, perhaps because his role functions more like comic relief than that of a potential dad with a wife desperate to become a mother, seems almost as if he's in another play altogether.
Still, for anyone who has grappled with the problem of infertility, "Mixed" is a vivid rendering of life's random challenges.

He had his original sketch-map of Yu-Shan and it's Geomancy – a hopelessly incomplete tangle of course. While he had plenty of agents, few of them were welcome poking around Yu-Shans foundations and an awful lot of areas were closed off – not to mention that the job was colossal.
He has his newly-acquired map, quite complete and through – if incomprehensibly complex and limited to the original design, rather than including all of the stuff that had been added later on.
Well, Orchid had been going to check with Terapishim's captor; hopefully this was really her sending a dream-message and she'd had some results. Hm! He had to check sometime on that Quintessence Fountain he'd fixed up!
(Charles) Do you need some?
Charles set up a link and transferred over a hundred nice clean motes.
Orchid went blank for a bit… Charles had to wave his hand in front of her body's face.
Could… Could the boy really be a nigh-unlimited source of motes? That could change everything!
There was more salivating. A normal god of her rank would NEVER salivate, much less let it dribble like that.
Charles cheerily transferred four more.
She removed a map from her robes, and unrolled it to show to Charles… It was a map of the Lunargent Ecological Protectorate, but not of the above ground. The twistiness of the tunnels, and the depth to which they extended, was incredible. A dot, with a notation indicating that it was about two thousand feet down, sat between two of the gates.
(Orchid) "Okay… knowing you, this PROBABLY isn't a trick." (She tasted the orb first… Satisfied that the Essence was not going to kill her, or affect her mind in horrible ways, she undertook the attunement).
It was basically the start of Charles's version of making "Akuma" – the usual "embed some health levels in the manses, doubling of base health, being in three rank-5 manses all the time, +1 essence. a few minor manse-based enhancements (doubled base health, fast healing, environmental protection), and three extra charms. On the other hand, it was just with some of the new planetary manses. They weren't Adenic and didn't provide any of the unique charms he was working on developing.
Even Charles was a bit leery of giving a deiphage a direct link to his personal energies – and Gothumg had nearly exploded at the first HINT of such a thought crossing his mind.
Gothmug was watching her as she traveled the metaphorical path though… He was getting rather inspirational levels of loneliness and depression off her… and curious about the geomancy that she was tied to. Orchid was behaving quite well though. The sky seemed to be confusing her a bit, and she was definitely having to get used to the idea of "outdoors" again, but she was nearly finished.
Still, even Charles had to admit that Deiphagy WAS sort of naughty.
Gothmug agreed. Consuming other sapient beings for one's Essence was horribly dark and desperate.
Still… if a measure this straightforward – even if it did involve some of Charles's exotic geomantic manses – could make that much less necessary, it would be a big improvement!
Ah! Orchid was coming out of the trance!
Darn! He'd been hoping that – with three Rank-5 Manses contributing – it would be enough to maintain a positive energy flow.
She seemed to be near tears. She was desperately trying to hide it, and appear as imperious as before, but it was showing.
Hmm… It looked like the net total WAS positive – but at only about one-tenth what he'd expect from that many manses contributing… Surely she couldn't normally hunt enough to support THAT. The drain must have responded to the new supply… Well, so long as it was positive – and it really should stay that way; she was currently contributing far more than her share!
(Charles) "I don't think that much of anything is worth killing the people helping you! Or that good causes need a constant threat of death to make people participate!
Charles wasn't good at social graces, but he tentatively gave her a shoulder-pat.
(Charles) "Well, it shouldn't be!
He got the feeling that – even if it was – the chances of her trying to eat him and thanking him for giving her some hope were about even… Still, if she felt any results at all, it should be real enough. After all, she'd have no idea of what – if anything – to expect. Since she'd gotten accurate information it should have worked!
The dream had faded – but Charles slept quite a lot longer; he never really did get enough sleep!
He made sure to double-check Orchids links and make sure that they were working properly after he woke up though. They were fine… but the Essence regeneration on the Manses had gone down by a point an hour for others attuned to them. That was quite a drain! Far more than could normally be channeled through an individual attunement… Someone on the other end of the link had some neat geomantic tricks that he didn't know!
Well, experience probably counted for something. A good thing he hadn't linked things up internally! It shouldn't bother the design purpose of the manses though; they were mostly unused at the moment, since they were designed to provide city services over their extended areas of influence – and that part seemed to be working just fine!
Still, with that much power flowing, it should have been possible to tell where it was going – besides over the extradimensional link into Yu-Shan… there had to be quite a current of power going BEYOND Orchid. Of course, if it was shielded that sort of thing did always win.
He didn't really push it – but he did get SOMETHING… it was apparently… going into about a block of empty quarter… adjacent to a slum. It seemed to be centered on the quintessence fountain. Huh! Location, but nothing as to function…. Oh well! At least Orchid didn't have to worry about being sucked into the Geomancy if she ran out of motes!
Let's hope whatever's doing the draining on Orchid has the good sense to not up the rate of draining any further. Or Aden forbid, try to drain essence from Charles. After all, nobody does geomancy like Aden. You wouldn't want the link to start transmitting vicious Drop Bears instead of essence.
Well, that was why he was careful to link her to some of the new planetary manses on the world's he's been terraforming rather than straight back to him. They are on the same geomantic network though; poor Gothmug was so relieved to see Charles taking SOME precautions that he didn't really think of that.

Actress Taylor Schilling has Katie Holmes to thank for her role on hit prison drama "Orange Is The New Black" after the "Batman Begins" star turned down the job due to her busy schedule.
Show creator Jenji Kohan reveals she had originally tapped Holmes for the part of bisexual drug smuggler Piper Chapman and had even sat down with the former "Dawson's Creek" actress to discuss the project.

Kohan tells Eonline.com, "I'm a big fan of hers. You know, I met with her. (But) she had other things to do. And also in the beginning, no one knew what this (show) was."
The Emmy-nominated Netflix program is based on the memoir by Piper Kerman and launched last year.

Valul este unda formată la suprafața mărilor sau oceanelor prin mișcarea oscilatorie a apei, datorită vântului sau cutremurelor.

Un val (sinonim talaz) este o ondulație a unei suprafețe întinse de apă (lac, mare, ocean), ca rezultat al mișcărilor de oscilație determinate de acțiunea vântului, de cutremure, de variația bruscă a presiunii atmosferice, de atracția Lunii și Soarelui și de deplasarea unei nave prin apă.

Se caracterizează prin:
 lungime de undă: distanța dintre două creste succesive;
 amplitudine: înălțime deasupra suprafeței calme;
 înălțime: dublul amplitudinii;
 perioadă: intervalul de timp necesar parcurgerii unei lungimi de undă;
 frecvență: numărul de perioade pe secundă.

După cauzele care le dau naștere, deosebim:
 a) valuri de vânt;
 b) valuri seismice;
 c) valuri anemobarice;
 d) valuri de maree;
 e) valuri de navă.

În afară de acțiunea cu rol modificator asupra uscatului, valurile de vânt formate pe suprafața mărilor și oceanelor constituie unul dintre principalele elemente hidro-meteorologice care influențează direct siguranța navigației.

Valurile de vânt se formează în urma acțiunii intermitente a vântului asupra stratului de apă de la suprafața mării aflat în stare de repaus. Această acțiune constă într-o apăsare, concomitent cu frecarea maselor de aer în mișcare de particulele de apă, care sunt scoase din poziția de echilibra și determinate să execute o mișcare de oscilație. Inițial se formează încrețituri mici, numite "valuri capilare" care, la încetarea vântului, se amortizează datorită tensiunii superficiale. Dacă vântul se intensifică și acționează un timp mai îndelungat, dimensiunile valurilor cresc, ele transformându-se în valuri gravitaționale. Valurile gravitaționale sunt denumite:
 a) valuri libere (free waves), care după încetarea vântului își micșorează treptat dimensiunile, consumând energia înmagazinată în procesul de frecare între ele a moleculelor de apă și
 b) valuri forțate (forced waves), care continuă să se dezvolte, ca urmare a persistenței și intensificării vântului, transformându-se în "valuri de furtună".

La valurile de furtună, crestele sunt spulberate de vânt, iar pe pantele lor apar pete albe de spumă numite "berbeci" (white horses); începând cu agitația de gradul 10, crestele valurilor foarte înalte cad spre înainte (deferlează) cu zgomot caracteristic, asemănător unui muget puternic. După încetarea vântului, valurile de furtună trec într-o fază de stabilizare, când forma lor devine regulată, iar dimensiunile lor nu se modifică un timp mai îndelungat; aceste ondulații regulate formează o agitație a mării numită "hulă".

Din punctul de vedere al formei, valurile pot fi:
 a) bidimensionale — la care crestele sunt foarte lungi și paralele între ele;
 b) tridimensionale — care în afară de creste lungi se caracterizează și printr-o lungime mare și
 c) izolate — la care creasta are formă de cupolă, fiind lipsite de scobituri.

Mai deosebim:
 a) valuri lungi — la care lungimea este mult mai mare decât adâncimea mării și
 b) valuri scurte — a căror lungime este mai mică decât adâncimea mării în zona lor de formare.

În momentul când valurile ajung pe fundurile mici din dreptul coastelor întinse are loc fenomenul numit "deferlare"; dacă deferlarea se produce deasupra unui banc aflat la distanță de coastă, valurile de acest gen se numesc "brizanți".

În cazul coastelor abrupte și cu adâncimi mari, precum și în cazul construcțiilor hidrotehnice, valurile se lovesc de peretele vertical al acestora și apoi se reflectă și, combinându-se cu valurile incidente dau naștere unor valuri cu amplitudine mare, a căror forță de izbire este considerabilă și a căror creastă se ridică la înălțimi mari (chiar până la 60 m). În unele sectoare, coastele sunt supuse unor distrugeri uriașe provocate de aceste valuri de spargere. Pătrunzând într-un bazin portuar, valurile de vânt sau de hulă se lovesc de peretele vertical al cheurilor, se reflectă și apoi intră în interferență cu valurile noi, dând naștere unei agitații deosebite numită "resacă" sau "clapoti", caracterizată prin valuri scurte cu pantă mare și cu oscilație pe verticală; această agitație îngreuiază staționarea navelor la cheu și creează dificultăți operațiunilor de încărcare — descărcare.

S-a observat în general că valurile se propagă pe grupuri distincte, care se succed la intervale aproximativ egale și între care marea pare mai puțin agitată. Valurile din fiecare grup au înălțimi diferite, vitezele lor de propagare fiind inegale. Din acest motiv se produce fenomenul de interferență, care determină o creștere progresivă a înălțimii. Din experiența și observațiile de multe secole ale navigatorilor s-a ajuns la concluzia că al nouălea sau al zecelea val din cadrul unui grup este mai înalt și mai periculos decât celelalte.

Elementele valurilor

 Frontul valului (în ) este linia care trece de-a lungul crestei valului și care este aproximativ perpendiculară pe direcția de propagare a profilului acestuia.

 Panta valului (în ) este unghiul format de tangenta la suprafața valului cu linia orizontală în punctul de tangență. Are valori diferite și de regulă se ia cea maximă. În practică se calculează prin raportul dintre înălțimea valului și jumătate din lungimea sa.

 Viteza valului (în ) este distanța parcursă de creasta valului în unitatea de timp. Este un element al valurilor de translație și se apreciază în m/s sau mile/h, calculându-se prin raportul dintre lungimea valului și perioada sa.

 Creasta valului (în ) este partea superioară a unui val, care este spulberată pe vânt puternic. Este linia ce unește punctele cu cotele maxime ale valului.

 Înălțimea valului (în ) este distanța măsurată pe verticală între creasta valului și linia de cea mai mică cotă a scobiturii imediat următoare. Se apreciază din vedere sau cu aparate speciale, iar valorile se dau în metri sau picioare. Înălțimea obișnuită a valurilor oceanice este de 5 m, iar valorile maxime măsurate pînă în prezent sunt următoarele:
 21 m în bazinul nordic al Oceanului Pacific;
 15,6 m în bazinul nordic al Oceanului Atlantic;
 14 m în emisfera sudică;
 11,5 m în Oceanul Indian.

 Scobitura valului (în ) este un termen care se referă mai ales la partea cea mai adâncă a văii dintre valuri.

 Lungimea valului (în ) este distanța în metri sau în picioare măsurată pe orizontală între două creste sau scobituri succesive de val. Valorile medii ale valurilor oceanice sunt cuprinse între 69 m și 110 m. Valorile maxime ale lungimii valurilor determinate pe baza unor numeroase observații sunt următoarele:
 170m în bazinul nordic al Oceanului Atlantic;
 214 m în bazinul sudic al aceluiași ocean;
 233 m în Oceanul Pacific;
 342 m în bazinul sudic al Oceanului Indian.

 Perioada valului (în ) este intervalul de timp contat în secunde în care două creste succesive de val trec prin dreptul unui punct fix de observație sau timpul necesar ca o creastă de val să parcurgă o distanță egală cu lungimea valului.

 Reflexia valurilor (în ) este fenomenul de respingere a valurilor de către peretele vertical al construcțiilor hidrotehnice sau al falezelor abrupte în zone cu adâncimi mari. În cadrul acestui fenomen are loc combinarea valurilor reflectate cu cele incidente, luînd naștere o agitație puternică numită "clapoti" sau "resacă", deosebit de periculoasă în unele bazine portuare, pentru navele staționate la cheu. Reflexia valurilor are loc și în zona centrală a unui ciclon tropical, unde se produce o agitație a mării foarte puternică din cauza valurilor care se propagă din direcții diferite.

 Refracția valurilor (în ) este schimbarea direcției de propagare a valurilor ori de cîte ori frontul acestora se apropie de linia coastei sub un unghi de înclinare. În cadrul acestui fenomen are loc o modificare a lungimii valurilor, a căror creastă în final capătă o orientare paralelă cu linia coastei.

Stuffed cabbage or golubtsy ("go-lub-tzy") in Russian is a dish of Middle Eastern as well as European cuisine. This name usually refers to ground beef mixed with boiled rice or buckwheat wrapped in cabbage leaves. However, there are many varieties of fillings and the dish is popular in a many countries – Azerbaijan, Armenia, the Balkan countries, Moldova, Russian, Turkey, and Ukraine etc.
Stuffed cabbage is easy to cook, but the origins of this dish are somewhat confusing. Word "golubets" in medieval Russian meant name of the dance or structure made of logs. This word started being used as name of the dish from approximately mid-18th century when Russian food culture has been under great European, especially French cuisine influence. At the time among aristocracy grilled dove was a widespread dish; however, not everyone could afford it. Hence, some started cooking "fake doves" made of minced meat wrapped in cabbage leaves. Word "dove" in Russian sounds like "golub" and hence those "fake doves" got nickname of "golubtsy" (i.e. "small doves", plural). Slowly, "fake doves" became more popular than the real ones but nickname stuck to the dish – "golubtsy".
In Turkey golubtsy were never about stuffed cabbage. Lam with rice wrapped in grape leaves made a fine Turkish version of the same dish. In fact, even Greece and China had their own variations of the similar foods, but it is really impossible to say who was first.
This dish emerged on different continents and at different times under many names, but the essence of it remained the same: put some cooked grains and minced meat in large leave (grape, cabbage etc), wrap neatly and serve.
One more interesting version of origin of stuffed leaves dishes is based on the fact that nettle leaves are capable of keeping meat fresh for few days, and our distant ancestors were using them for this quality, thus creating the very first version of stuffed leaves dish known to mankind.
Cabbage leave must be large enough so they could wrap the stuffing. Young cabbage is preferred, it is tender and tastier. To soften leaves, the whole cabbage head can be boiled until it softens. Instead of ground beef you can also use rice with onions and boiled eggs, rice with onions and mushrooms, mushrooms with parsley root and celery. Buckwheat and porridge can replace rice, they can be used with onions and some butter.
My mom used to cook traditional golubtsy – minced beef with rice wrapped in cabbage leaf. This is the recipe I would like to share with you today.
To make meat filling, heat clarified or oil in easy to cook frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the onion and fry until soft, about 7 minutes. Place in a bowl with beef and remaining filling ingredients. Mix well to combined.
Core cabbage and place whole in a large pot of boiling salted water. Cook just long enough to soften leaves, about 10-15 minutes. Drain in a colander and cool under cold running water. Carefully remove the leaves.
Cut thick ribs from larger leaves, then halve the leaves; keep smaller leaves intact. You will need 14-16 leaves. Use leaves and trimmings to line a deep saucepan.
To make the rolls, place a generous tablespoon of meet filling at base of each leaf, roll one turn and tuck in sides to contain filling. Roll firmly to end of leaf.
In a saucepan over high heat, bring the stock and tomato sauce to a boil. Add the garlic, lemon juice and salt. Cook for one more minute.
Arrange the rolls in a large pot, pour the sauce over the top. Cover and bring to boil. Place in a oven for about 45-50 minutes.
To cook the rice for the meat filling, place 1/2 cup of rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold running water until water runs clear. Drain well. Bring the rice, pinch of salt and 1 cup of water to boil in a small or medium saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until rice is almost done, 10 minutes. Allow rice to cool slightly.
When I was going home for holidays this was the first thing I asked my mom to make 🙂 Oh they were so good, they are always good!
In Poland, the "gołąbki / голубцы" we consider traditional dish, which necessarily occurs in the fall on our tables in unlimited quantities. My whole family loves them. We have a slightly different recipe, but very similar.
Dear rustykalna kuchnia, Russian Cuisine is very similar to Poland, we have the same dishes. Stuffed vegetables are always on our table, specially when Autumn comes. Thank you for visiting my blog and very nice to meet you!
Japanese have similar dish but maybe this dish originally came from Russia! Maybe one day I'll make it and you can see it. 🙂 I love stuffed cabbage – perfect fall/winter dish!
Очень красиво! Мы любим голубцы.
Who doesn't like golubtsi? When I was a kid, we also used to use grape leaves instead of cabbage leaves. Maybe, that made them something else than golubtsi, but the idea was the same. Pinned!
I can't believe I did not find your blog sooner, those golubtsi look beautiful :).
Welcome to my blog Natasha, I hope to see you soon!
Your cabbage rolls brought back nice memories of my grandmother…I loved her cabbage rolls. She used sauerkraut juice whereas you used lemon juice but I think the flavor would be similar.
Exquisite!….I used "riced"..whirled in the food processor… celeriac for the rice component…and it really worked! These little bundles were obviously done with lots of fond family "transmission" of culinary tradition…and lots of love.
This sounds wonderful. ..photos are very good. I will try your recipe soon.
Julia, the grape leaf galubtsi are traditionally Greek "Dolmades."
Yelena these were good, but I had to simmer them for 45 more minutes after I baked them for 45 min. at 350 degrees. Did I not follow the recipe correctly?
Thank you for sharing the recipe. These look so scrumptious!
Hello Yelena Strokin- I was in Chelyabinsk in the fall of 3010 where I first sampled these. I am happy to have found this recipe. I made them tonight and all I could think of was "WOW" loved them Thanks.
Здравствуйте, Елена! Случайно натолкнулась на ваш блог. Очень нравятся ваши фотографии. Они чудесные! Вы снимаете с естественным освещением? Особенно мне понравилось то, что вы к каждому рецепту пишите его историю происхождения. Очень познавательно. Спасибо!
Здравствуйте Елена, спасибо вам за теплые слова! Снимаю я только с натуральным светом у окна на кухне. Истории я и правда люблю и мне кажется многим людям это интересно. Спасибо что заглянули, у меня много русских рецептов, если будут какие вопросы пишите! Всего вам наилучшего!

Institutional Limits on Collaborative Anthropology: More on SSHRC Funding in Canada
by Maximilian C. Forte
Backdrop to a Non-Starter
Recently I have been considering the prospects for a collaborative (action) research project between myself and some of the younger members of Trinidad's Carib community who have years of working experience in the local media and local publishing industry — bright, articulate, committed individuals with an eagerness to implement their own training in research, to conduct their own local archival research, to produce their own video documentaries, and finally to learn how to create, manage and host their own website (and "wrest" that function from me). The project would have been titled something like "Recovering Indigenous Heritage", and would have involved the training of Carib youth to, among other things, research 200 year old baptismal registers of Trinidad's 16 former mission villages, to create a genealogical database for all Trinidadians of Carib ancestry especially in light of the government's refusal to admit any category on the national census for people of who wish to self-identify as indigenous, Amerindian, or Carib. In addition, an aim would have been to create an online network linking Caribs in Trinidad with those in the diaspora, to set up local conferences and national gatherings, to archive indigenous self-knowledge, and to disseminate it, while critically investigating how images of indigeneity have been disseminated to date. It had the potential for being an important project that could have led to valuable local transformations — keep in mind that the Carib identity has historically been one of the most stigmatized in the Caribbean, the result of the institutionalization of shame that has formed one part of the cultural process of genocide that has caused many families to suppress their identities.
But what would have been a vital part of such a project was to work in tandem, and at least on par with Trinidadian Carib counterparts, as formal co-researchers, as equals in the administration of research funds, especially since they are based in Trinidad and would be coordinating events "on the ground" in ways, and for a duration, that I could not possibly do at a distance. So what's the problem?
SSHRC's Notions of Collaboration: Fear of the Non-Academic Other?
As I have already mentioned, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada remains one of the central, if not exclusive sources of funding for anthropologists in Canada. Most anthropologists will tend to apply for the "Standard Research Grant" (SRG). The SRG does allow for collaboration, of sorts. Let's look at what SSHRC considers to be appropriate and applicable "collaboration" in terms of applying for and managing grant funds.
First, there is the definition of the role which I would occupy:
Applicant (principal investigator/project director): an individual who has primary responsibility for the intellectual direction of the research and who assumes administrative responsibility for the grant. In the case of team research, the principal investigator/project director is understood to be responsible for the overall leadership of the research team. Eligibility requirements may vary with specific programs. In most cases, applicants for SSHRC's research, strategic and communications grants must be affiliated with a Canadian postsecondary institution.
Second, various complementary roles are then outlined:
Co-applicant (co-investigator): an individual who makes a significant contribution to the intellectual direction of the research, plays a significant role in the conduct of the research, and who may also have some responsibility for financial aspects of the research. In the case of the Standard Research Grants and the Research/Creation in Fine Arts programs, the eligibility criteria for co-applicants are the same as those for the applicant. (What that means is that a co-applicant must also be an academic based at a Canadian university, end of story.)
Collaborator: a scholar or researcher who may play various roles in a research project or program of research, including participating in setting its intellectual direction. Collaborators do not need to be affiliated with a Canadian postsecondary institution.
Other assistants and support staff: individuals employed to assist the research team to conduct its research who are neither students nor members of the research team. Research assistants must be citizens or permanent residents of Canada unless it can be shown that qualified candidates are not available in Canada or that the proposed research requires the hiring of assistants abroad.
What this means then, in light of the kind of project I outlined in the first section, is that my Carib partners could, at best, be classed as "assistants" or "support staff." All one needs to add here is: "This is the bucket, and this is the mop, finish the floors by 5:00pm." It simply is nowhere near adequate, acceptable, or even ethical to work with collaborators who are meager subordinates, and who have no decision-making power of their own, and no funds to manage on a day-to-day basis. The only way to do this is, quite plainly, to circumvent SSHRC's guidelines, ignore the labels above, and simply transfer the funds under various guises…and then be caught in "wrongdoing and misconduct" and either be blacklisted by SSHRC or even be sued for the return of the funds. And monitor they do: this the organization that pinpointed my purchase of pens as an ineligible expense (I am not allowed to write fieldnotes with SSHRC funds), among thousands of expense reports it had read during an audit at my home institution, and that had "questions" about a cocktail that I organized for colleagues at a seminar I hosted in Montreal (and for which I paid out of pocket). They learned of the cocktail from a document on my project website — amazing that they were the only ones in the end to have read the contents of the site so carefully. Therefore, it is not a good idea to try to be clever and engage in flexible interpretations when dealing with SSHRC.
Surely, there are other options?
Yes, indeed. One may work with community, voluntary, and non-profit organizations. So then that should solve the problem. At first SSHRC implemented what it called the "Community-University Research Alliances" scheme, and until very recently, the "community" had to be a Canadian one (so much for globalization, transnationalism, immigration, diaspora, etc.). Now it has the "International Community-University Research Alliances " — SSHRC is dynamic after all, the reader will exclaim, and only a cantankerous naysayer could persist in finding fault with SSHRC.
But wait, the International CURA comes with one very big string attached: it must be conducted in alliance with one of the Government of Canada's international development arms, the International Development Research Centre (IDRC). As a result, only a finite and short list of acceptable areas of work are permitted, that fit within developmentalist goals, goals that again are predetermined and not negotiated in partnership with a community — where is the collaboration? We set the goals, we create the plan, we administer the funds…and you collaborate.
In addition, the domestic and international CURA schemes are far bigger arrangements than "a Canadian researcher and his Trinidadian Carib counterpart". These are major productions, involving multiple disciplines, and multiple scholars from the Canadian university's side (I can't think of even one other person in my entire university who would even be vaguely interested in Carib anything, let alone participate as an active researcher). CURAs are associated with academic units within a university, such as a department, more than one unit ideally, and not a single researcher within the university.
Debating Collaboration
Clearly there is a spectrum of possible notions of collaboration. In the colonial context, the collaborator, as typecast in works such as Frantz Fanon's, was a lowly, subservient pawn who aided the colonizers to reduce the threat to his or her own existence. The old ethnographic fieldwork situation, where the researcher asked the questions and the native supplied the answers, is also collaboration. In fact, let's take matters to the absolute extreme: I own all resources, I occupy all offices of authority, and I give commands…and if you play any role, even as a groveling servant, you are still collaborating with me.
I do not think, however, that when we speak of anthropological collaboration, and develop notions of partnership, consultation, and negotiation as can be found in our professional codes of conduct, that we are looking for groveling servants. Agencies such as SSHRC, which monopolize public research funding — and it's a federal body, in a country where the provinces are supposedly in charge of funding university education, so something is unclear to me here — have clearly "stacked the deck" against applicants such as myself who would truly like to take collaboration to new levels. Any new avenue proves to be a new dead end.
What also remains unclear to me — and this kind of information SSHRC definitely does not publish — is who are the persons and agencies responsible for deciding which programs SSHRC will create and fund, and how they are created, and who decides the criteria for eligibility and why.
As far as I can see at present, one initial solution would be for a decentralization and devolution of research funding to universities themselves, with public funds allocated equally on a per capita basis to each institution. In this manner, we can hold discussions among parties who are familiar to one another, who are in more or less regular contact within the university, and who can discuss and negotiate at length and produce tailor-made funding to suit the specificities of individual research projects, instead of the current model of "we create the schemes, you figure out how to fit in." That is not how to support "research innovation" — and I suspect that if we set aside the glossy hype, it will be revealed that SSHRC has as much of federal political plan as anything else.

본 연구는 폐유지류를 중심으로 한 도포제 종류 및 도포시기에 따른 혼화재 다량치환 콘크리트의 탄산화 및 염해저항성에 미치는 영향에 관하여 실험 연구한 것이다. 즉 내구성 향상방안으로서, 도포시기를 탈형 즉시와 28일 수중양생후의 변화를 주고 도포제는 Plain인 Control을 포함한 ERCO(유화처리정제유지류), RCO(정제유지류), WR(발수제), ERCO+WR의 5가지 수준에 대하여 비교 실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 도포시기에 따른 탄산화 및 내염해 저항성의 경우 28일 수중양생 후 도포의 경우 탄산화 및 염화물 침투 깊이가 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었고, 또한, 도포제는 ERCO, RCO, ERCO+WR, WR의 순으로 탄산화 및 염화물 침투깊이가 늦게 진행되어, 특히 ERCO의 도포가 탄산화 및 염화물 억제효과에 가장 우수한 것을 알 수 있었다.
In this research, the influence of painting materials and applying timing on carbonation and chloride resistances of high volume SCMs concrete was evaluated. As a durability improving method, comparative tests were conducted with painting materials of ERCO (emulsified refined cooking oil), RCO (refined cooking oil), WR (water repellent agent), and ERCO + WR and with painting timings of right after demolding, and 28 days after the wet curing. From the experiment results, in the case of carbonation and chloride resistance, the carbonation depth and chloride penetration depth were decreased when the painting materials were applied in 28 days of wet curing. Additionally, for painting materials, with the order of ERCO, RCO, ERCO+WR, and WR, the carbonation and chloride penentration was delayed. Hence it is considered that ERCO shows the most favorable performance of resistance against carbonation and chloride penetration.

The Shapes that Lavas Take, Part 1
May 13, 2013JPEG
Streams of molten rock that ooze from gaps or vents in the Earth's surface are called lava flows. Though generally slow-moving, these rivers of rock pose a hazard to everything in their paths. They can bury or burn homes and roads, ruin farmland for generations, and transform glaciers into muddy landslides (lahars).
Lava flows can take many shapes and move at very different rates depending on the viscosity of the magma, the slope of the land, and the rate of an eruption. Some of the speediest flows travel 60 kilometers (40 miles) per hour; the slowest creep along at less than 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) per hour. They can sometimes even flow for more than a year after an eruption has ended.
Viscous (or sticky), non-explosive flows produce distinctive landforms known as lava domes. These circular mounds form as lava slowly oozes from a vent and piles up on itself over time. Lava domes tend to have steep, cliff-like fronts at their leading edge and wrinkle-like pressure ridges on their surfaces.
The Chao dacite is a type of lava dome known as a coulée. These elongated flow structures form when highly-viscous lavas flow onto steep surfaces. On May 14, 2013, the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on NASA's Landsat 8 satellite acquired the image above, which highlights some of the distinctive features of a coulée.
The Chao dacite sits between two volcanoes in northern Chile: the older and partially-eroded Cerro del Leon and the younger Paniri. The dome itself is a giant tongue of rock that extends southwest from the vent. Curved pressure ridges known as ogives dominate the surface of the 14 kilometer (9 mile) dome.
Volcanologists think the Chao dacite dome formed over a period of about 100 to 150 years. A pyroclastic flow during the Chao I phase left light-brown deposits of tephra and pumice at the leading edge of the flow. Pyroclastic flows are avalanche-like events that bring mixtures of hot gas and semi-sold rocks surging down the flanks of volcanoes at speeds as fast as 100 kilometers (60 miles) per hour.
This period was followed by the Chao II phase, when 22.5 cubic kilometers (5.4 cubic miles) of lava erupted. This flow has 400-meter tall (1,312 feet) fronts that stand out with their dark shadows on the southwest end. The final, Chao III phase added another 3.5 cubic kilometers (0.8 cubic miles) of denser lava with a lower viscosity. This type of lava is less likely to form pressure ridges, so surfaces in this part of the flow are comparatively smooth.
It's not clear why the Chao dacite erupted as a flow and formed a dome rather than erupting explosively. However, some researchers have noted that there are a number of other domes in the area (such as Chillahuita), suggesting that the domes may be the leading edge of a broader magmatic system that erupted along pre-existing faults. Though much larger, a series of lava domes along the eastern side of California's Sierra Nevada range—the Mono-Inyo chain—offers a possible analog for what might be happening in this part of Chile.

September 5, 2018—The arrest of three more lawyers in Iran, Payam Derafshan, Farrokh Forouzan and Hoda Amid, represents the continuing escalation of Iran's assault against its own legal profession and a flagrant violation of these individuals' basic rights to freedom of expression and due process, the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI) said in a statement today.
Payam Derafshan, Farrokh Forouzan and Hoda Amid, as well as all of the other imprisoned human rights attorneys in Iran, which include Abdolfattah Soltani, Nasrin Sotoudeh, Arash Keykhosravi and Ghasem Sholeh Sa'di, should be released immediately, CHRI said.
"The authorities in Iran arrested these lawyers for the same reason all the other human right defenders are imprisoned—to prevent the effective defense of political prisoners and civil liberties in Iran," said Hadi Ghaemi, CHRI executive director.
On August 31, agents of Iran's intelligence ministry, which reports directly to President Rouhani, arrested Derafshan and Forouzan, continuing a crackdown that has accelerated since February 2018, in which other prominent human rights attorneys have been arrested, summoned to court or blocked from taking on clients.
Dearshan and Fououzan were taken into custody as they arrived at the home of detained fellow attorney Arash Keykhosravi, in the city of Karaj, west of Tehran. The two prominent lawyers had gone to Keykhosravi's home with the intention of meeting with his family, a source told the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI).
Meanwhile, Hoda Amin was arrested on September 1 in Tehran by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC) Intelligence Organization, days before she was scheduled to host a workshop aimed at raising awareness of women's marriage and divorce rights.
Forouzan specializes in defending the rights of children while Derafshan and Keykhosravi have both been involved in a number of politically sensitive cases, including the suspicious death of Iranian-Canadian environmentalist Kavous Seyed-Emami in February 2018.
Derafshan represented Keykhosravi after his arrest, along with former lawmaker Ghasem Sholeh Sa'di, during a rally in front of Iran's parliament building on August 18, 2018 to protest the signing of an accord between Iran and other Caspian Sea nations, which divides the body of water and its oil and gas resources. Derafshan has also been critical of the judiciary's list of approved lawyers, from which defendants charged with national security-related crimes must choose.
"The prosecutor upped the charge (against Keykhosravi) from 'disruption of public order' to 'assembly and collusion against national security' even though it's unrelated to what they did, which was attend a peaceful public gathering that didn't harm national security the slightest bit," attorney Derafshan told CHRI on August 21.
In response to the latest arrest of their colleagues, a group of nearly 100 Iranian lawyers signed a letter to Judiciary Chief Sadegh Larijani asking why they had been charged with national security offenses for doing their job and called for their immediate release.
"If a few people have views that are in opposition to a certain law or certain state decisions, are they really acting against national security? Isn't national security being undermined instead by arbitrary and baseless interpretations of the law? … Won't national security be better served and protected by guaranteeing the rights of individuals to freely express their thoughts and views in a peaceful manner, even if they are against official state views?" said the August 30th letter, a copy of which was obtained by CHRI.
The letter continues that "sweeping interpretations of national security" violate several articles in Iran's Constitution, particularly Articles 9 and 37.

Alfred de Musset (* 11. Dezember 1810 in Paris; † 2. Mai 1857 ebenda) war ein französischer Schriftsteller. Er gilt als einer der Großen unter den französischen Romantikern.

Leben und Schaffen
Musset wuchs in Paris als wohlbehüteter Sohn adeliger Eltern auf und absolvierte seine Schulzeit mit Glanz im Traditionsgymnasium Lycée Henri IV. Hiernach begann er lustlos ein Jura- und dann ein Medizinstudium, betätigte sich aber vor allem als junger Lebemann. Daneben war er ein frühreifer Dichter, der sich ab 1828 im Kreis um Victor Hugo, dem "Cénacle", bewundern ließ.
Schon 1830 erschienen die Contes d'Espagne et d'Italie (deutsch "Spanische und italienische Erzählungen"), eine Sammlung äußerst formvollendeter Gedichte im Stil der Romantik, voller Exotik und exaltierter Gefühle.

1832, nach dem Tod seines Vaters in der großen Typhusepidemie dieses Jahres, beschloss er (wohl auch dank der Erbschaft) als Schriftsteller zu leben.

1833 lernte er die sechs Jahre ältere Romanautorin George Sand kennen und begann mit ihr ein romantisch-leidenschaftliches Liebesverhältnis. Dieses endete jedoch schon bald auf einer gemeinsamen Italienreise (Winter 1833/34), als er in Venedig erkrankte und sie ihn mit dem Arzt betrog. Die tiefe Krise, die dies bei Musset auslöste, inspirierte ihn zu Gedichten voller Weltschmerz (gesammelt publiziert als Nuits, deutsch "Nächte", 1835 u. 1837), aber auch zu dem autobiografischen Roman Confession d'un enfant du siècle (deutsch "Bekenntnis eines jungen Zeitgenossen", 1836), dessen Protagonist Octave einer jener typisch romantischen, d. h. desillusionierten, sich selbst und ihrer Umwelt problematischen Helden ist.

Schon seit 1830 schrieb Musset auch Theaterstücke, die er nach dem Misserfolg des ersten aufgeführten Stücks (La Nuit vénétienne, deutsch "Venezianische Nacht", 1830) jedoch nur noch zum Lesen bestimmte und in Sammelbänden publizierte. So erschienen 1832 und 1834 je ein Band Spectacles dans un fauteuil (deutsch "Schauspiele in einem Sessel") und 1840 ein Band Comédies et Proverbes (deutsch "Komödien und Sprichwörter").

Die bekanntesten und auch heute noch gelegentlich aufgeführten Stücke sind Les caprices de Marianne (deutsch "Mariannes Launen", 1833), Fantasio (1834) und On ne badine pas avec l'amour (deutsch "Mit der Liebe spaßt man nicht", 1834), sowie Lorenzaccio (1833/34). Die Ersteren handeln von enttäuschter Liebe – ein Thema, das den offensichtlich leicht entflammten, aber narzisstischen Musset immer wieder beschäftigte. Lorenzaccio, die Geschichte eines den Täter am Ende nur frustrierenden Tyrannenmords, spiegelt die politische Enttäuschung Mussets und vieler Intellektueller seiner Generation, die anfangs große Hoffnungen in die Juli-Revolution von 1830 gesetzt hatten und sich betrogen fühlten, als das Regime des neuen "Bürgerkönigs" Louis-Philippe I. rasch von der Großbourgeoisie vereinnahmt wurde und ab 1832 zunehmend autoritär und repressiv agierte.

Neben seinen zahlreichen Theaterstücken und seiner Lyrik verfasste Musset in den für ihn höchst fruchtbaren 1830er Jahren auch eine Reihe Erzählungen. 1838 erhielt er im Innenministerium einen bescheidenen Bibliothekarsposten, der ihn wenig belastete, ihm aber ein Grundeinkommen sicherte. Ab 1845 wurden einige seiner Schachaufgaben publiziert.

1840 war geprägt von einer schweren Krankheit einem tiefen Einbruch. Danach litt er an häufigen Depressionen, schrieb nur noch wenig und flüchtete sich in Liebesaffären und Alkoholkonsum, was seinen Zustand weiter verschlechterte. Immerhin erhielt er 1845 das Kreuz der Légion d'honneur und erlebte 1847 die sehr erfolgreiche Aufführung eines seiner Stücke, Un Caprice (deutsch "Eine Laune/verrückte Idee", 1837). 1852 wurde er, nach vergeblichen Anläufen 1848 und 1850, in die Académie française gewählt, wobei sicher hilfreich war, dass er sich dem neuen Regime von Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte angeschlossen hatte.

Am 2. Mai 1857 starb Alfred de Musset in Paris im Schlaf an einer durch langjährigen Alkoholismus und einer Aortenklappeninsuffizienz begründeten Herzschwäche. Vor seinem Tod beobachtete sein Bruder pulssynchrones Kopfnicken, ein Symptom, das auch heute noch als Musset-Zeichen bekannt ist. Er wurde auf dem Pariser Friedhof Père Lachaise beigesetzt.

Rezeption

Als bleibende Leistung Mussets gilt heute sein dramatisches Werk, das er, nach dem Misserfolg gleich zu Beginn, nicht mehr mit Blick auf die gerade herrschende romantische Theaterdoktrin verfasste, sondern nach seinen eigenen, gemäßigt klassizistischen Vorstellungen. Denn diese erwiesen sich letztlich als zukunftsweisender als z. B. die seines zunächst erfolgreicheren Konkurrenten Victor Hugo, dessen Stücke schon seit langem kaum mehr aufgeführt werden.

Im deutschsprachigen Raum wurde Musset kaum bekannt.

Sein Werk La Coupe et les lèvres (1831) war die literarische Vorlage für "Edgar", Giacomo Puccinis zweiter Oper.

Grounded U.S. Navy minesweeper takes on water
Disaster_Accident
By Cheryl K. Chumley - The Washington Times - Thursday, January 24, 2013
The USS Guardian, which was grounded on a Philippine reef on Jan. 17, is badly damaged and taking on water, according to a U.S. Navy official.
The Navy minesweeper will have to be lifted off the rocks, but strong waves creating dangerous conditions for divers have been hampering the process and Philippine and U.S. authorities predict the rescue could take up to two weeks.
Rear Adm. Thomas Carney, commander of the Navy's Logistics Group in the Western Pacific, told reporters that the USS Guardian can't be moved without first siphoning off 15,000 gallons of fuel. The site of grounding is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Tubbataha Reef.
Trump asks nation to pray over his impeachment, says he's done nothing wrong
No one was injured in the grounding. The USS Guardian's 79 officers and crew were transferred to two other ships in the hours following the grounding.

RCMP Death and the Genovese Syndrome
As Constable Christopher John Worden, 30, of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) lay dying of gunshot wounds to his chest, abdomen and neck in the early morning hours of 6 October, several people saw and heard what happened, but none came to his aid or called police. Officer Worden was found curled up on the ground, about two hours later, by another RCMP officer sent to search for him after radio communication couldn't be reestablished. Constable Worden was pronounced dead about 30 minutes later at a nearby hospital. The failure to render aid is startling, especially in light of Worden's capacity as a law enforcement officer.
>Worden had responded about 5:00 a.m. to a report of a suicidal man in Hay River, Northwest Territories and then went to a nearby home. "Const. Worden was not heard from again," said Yellowknife RCMP Cpl. Michael LeSage, in just-released details of a search warrant application used in the hunt for Worden's killer. Emrah Bulatci, 23, was arrested in Edmonton on 12 October, after an intensive manhunt in Alberta and Saskatchewan, and charged with first-degree murder in Worden's death.
In the affidavit, one female witness said she saw a police car and a taxi parked outside a residence where she'd been spending time with "Justin." (Justin Elise was a Bulatci alias.) She said she saw Bulatci running, pursued by Worden, into a wooded area. She heard four or five gunshots coming from the wooded area and saw "fire" coming from that direction. And then, according to CTV News she saw "one of the males snap his head back and fall limp to the ground after the shots." The taxi driver witnessed the chase and head gun shots about 30 to 40 seconds later but "assumed" that it was Worden shooting at Bulatci and left with two male passengers. A man interviewed by police said that the two taxi passengers and Bulatci visited him later that day; he was told by the two men who had ridden in the taxi that Bulatci "might have hurt a cop," but Bulatci corrected them and said "Tom, I killed a cop." Still no phone calls to the police.
While Bulatci is in custody in Yellowknife, with his next court appearance scheduled for 13 December, the larger issue is the failure to render aid to Officer Worden, and what it says about us as a society. The phenomenon was first publicized as the "Genovese syndrome," in reference to a 1964 murder in which Kitty Genovese, 28, was stabbed to death over a period of 30 minutes near her Queens, New York home, while many neighbors either saw parts of the attack or heard her cries for help yet failed to respond. Genovese screamed: "I'm dying! I'm dying!" to no one in particular. At one point, her attacker, Winston Moseley, was scared away, but returned to continue stabbing Genovese, ultimately sexually assaulting her as she lay dying in a hallway. Then he stole $49.00 from her and left her for dead. Genovese died en route to a hospital.
One unidentified neighbor debated calling the police but finally persuaded someone else to make the call, because "I didn't want to get involved." Another man turned up his radio volume so he wouldn't hear Genovese's screams.
The case shocked the public, and there was much psychological analysis of the phenomenon that came to also be known as the "bystander effect." The bystander effect is essentially a psychological phenomenon in which individuals are less likely to intervene in an emergency when others are present to help. Basically, everyone assumes that someone else will take the needed actions…and none of them do. City University of New York psychology professor Stanley Milgram once summarized questions raised by Kitty Genovese's murder, writing: "The case touched on a fundamental issue of the human condition, our primordial nightmare…If we need help, will those around us stand around and let us be destroyed or will they come to our aid? Are those other creatures out there to help us sustain our life and values, or are we individual flecks of dust just floating around in a vacuum?"
A similar American instance of failure to render aid in dire circumstances occurred this year and was attributed to "group think" after Lashonda Calloway, a 27-year-old mother of three, lay on the floor of a Wichita, Kansas convenience store in June 2007, stabbed and bleeding, while at least five customers stepped over her to complete their transactions. No one seemed bothered by the situation and no one called 911 for two minutes. Store video showed Ms. Calloway struggled to her feet and collapsed three times without any assistance. In fact, one shopper stepped over Ms. Calloway four times, eventually taking a picture of the victim with her cell phone. The picture appeared briefly on the Internet. Ms. Calloway died at the hospital. The store owner pleaded ignorance, saying that the store was busy at the time and she didn't think the employee on duty realized anything was going on. (Images of Pinocchio's lengthening nose spring to mind.) Kansas law regarding failure to render aid only applies to motor vehicle accidents.
Group think? The Genovese syndrome? Bystander effect? Psychological mumbo-jumbo to explain away unacceptable behavior. Perhaps it's time to revisit the laws regarding rendering aid in both the United States and Canada, if our own moral values are an insufficient compass to compel bystanders to do the right thing. R.I.P, Officer Worden. You were hard done by, by the citizens whom you, as a police officer, were sworn to protect. They failed you.

The handling of data from high-throughput projects, e.g. massive parallel sequencing or microarray experiments, requires a thorough expertise in statistical genetics, knowledge of tools in bioinformatics and information technology. ATLAS Biolabs can offer you bioinformatic analyses in a standardised manner for detection of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions and deletions as well as for expression profiling experiments. This insures that our customers receive fast and reliable results upon completion of next-gen sequencing or microarray analyses.
Furthermore, these processes can be optimised to meet your individual project needs. Our bioinformatics service is continuously extended and validated. Analysed data can comprehensively be annotated with information from various data sources, e. g. NCBI Unigene, Entrez Gene, UniProt, Ensembl, OMIM, KEGG Pathways etc. Data can be provided in different formats as MS Excel spreadsheet or as comma or tabulator separated value lists.
Next-Generation Sequencing: Based on customer sequencing data we generate quality reports of generated short reads. Short reads are de novo assembled or mapped to a given reference sequence. Subsequently the mapped data is used for detection of insertions, deletions or SNPs. The analysis of expression patterns from RNA-Seq is another option.
Expression Data Analysis: Based on customer expression data a report of standard statistical methods (M versus A analysis, Principal Component analysis, Clustering, t-test, ANOVA, False Discovery Rate) as well as most statistically significant genes (Annotation, Metabolic Pathways, GeneOntologies) is generated.
CNV / LOH Data Analysis: Based on customer SNP array data, a report with detected chromosomal aberrations is generated. The aberrations are annotated with affected genes and SNPs. The report includes a genome-wide chromosome view indicating aberrations.


Public appeal Power Deptt and DA to entrust someone to take care of High Mast light poles which glow during day time.
The local denizens while appreciating the state government, power department and capital district administration in providing of light in street through High Mast Light poles in several location of capital complex.
While lauding the initiative, the local appeal the power department that several such high mast light post use to glow in day also which need to be checked or if not someone need to be entrusted to take care of wastage of power supply which is not at all necessary in day.
High-mast lighting is a tall pole with lighting attached to the top pointing towards the ground, usually but not always used to light a highway or recreational field. It is used at sites requiring lighting over a large area. The pole that the lighting is mounted on is generally at least 30 meters (100 feet) tall (under this height it is referred to as conventional lighting system), while the lighting consists of a luminaire ring surrounding the pole with one or several independent lighting fixtures mounted around it.


Is It Legal To Eat While Driving?
Most drivers don't give a second thought to snacking behind the wheel. We have fast food drive-thrus on every highway, so it must be legal... right?
As it turns out, "eat-driving" might not be as safe - or as lawful - as you think.
Back in 2015, the Griffith Health Institute in Queensland studied the effects of eating while driving. They found that this widely adopted practice could be just as dangerous as texting while driving. No, really.
"The trials involving texting or eating when driving both caused about the same amount of decrement to driving performance", lead researcher on the project Dr Chris Irwin told SBS.
Personally, we think text-driving is almost certainly more dangerous than eat-driving, but that doesn't mean the latter is completely safe. It can't be denied that vehicles are harder to control during one-handed operation - especially if your other hand is holding a sloppy burger and cannot easily be returned to the wheel.
So what does the law have to say? Can motorists be booked for indulging in a Big Mac on-the-go? You may be surprised to learn that the answer is yes. Kind of.
While there are currently no laws in Australia that specifically prohibit eating food while driving, you can still fall afoul of the law by failing to adhere to Australian Road Rules 297(1). This states that "a driver must not drive a vehicle unless the driver has proper control of the vehicle".
So there you have it: though uncommon, police can decide to fine you for eat-driving - even if no specific road rules have been broken. All it takes is a hangry cop to glance in your car window.

'm a sucker for cask-strength anything. Scotch. Bourbon. Everclear. Load up the fat and pour that sucker in my glass. I love the rawness. This one gives me exactly what I'm looking for. There are some out there, however, who criticize this for being not as well balanced as what they would want for a bourbon -- often complaining of it's heat. I say to the moon with them. This beast is what it's all about. An edgy bourbon that gives no fucks, is completely inconsistent from barrel to barrel, and punches you in the mouth with flavor? Sign me up twice. This is what non-age-statement (or hell any) bourbons should be. Raw, full flavored, and powerful. Not holding back. Not trying to be more than what it is. Just simply letting the distilling and barrel do the talking. This is simply awesome.

I built this workbench because my backroom went from being just a workroom to a workroom and a laundry room. So I had to build a new workbench. This workbench had been on my mind for a while because I thought that I was under utilizing my closet. Before I built my bench the closet had some old metal baskets in their as shelves and no real organization otherwise. My old bench was a 5' x 3' table top with a 2"x4" frame holding it up. As you may have figured out that this is an over sized "floating" shelf.
I built the frame using the 2"x4"s I had from taking my old bench apart. I started by screwing the 2"x4"s into studs in my wall around the closet. Then I added some cross bracing for stability. Throughout this step I used 3 inch drywall screws to put everything together.
After I built the frame I used some 1/2" OSB for the top of the workbench that I got from my dad's shed. Since they were already cut into 2' by 4' pieces they fit right into the closet. Then I cut some of the plywood for the front of the workbench.
This is my finished workbench. As you have probably seen from some previous pictures that I put my pegboard up and hung my tools before I finished the bench top.
Very nice. I like the effective use of space. BTW, you're using particle board not plywood, right?
Good basic 'ible :) The wood that you used for the top is called Oriented Strand Board or OSB though, not plywood. OSB is a good material, but it is not very water resistant. If you will use such a top for anything that might get wet it would be a good idea to paint/seal it, or perhaps put something like shelf paper over it to help resist moisture. It also would make the surface more smooth.
Thanks, I changed it to OSB in the instructable. I just have a piece of spare plexiglass screwed on the main part of the workbench and because I added power to the workbench I don't keep anything liguid on there.
Very Nice can't wait to try it!
Inspires me to organize and hang my tools now. Thanks for the idea!


Performed by Dean Barrett, top UK Gary Barlow tribute act, this show will take you on a journey from the early 1990s days of Take That to their reunion in 2006 and Gary's highly acclaimed solo career.
Dean is a lifelong fan of Gary and Take That and has mastered Gary's look, voice and mannerisms. He has been performing as Gary since 2009 all over the UK and beyond. Dean is constantly working to improve and evolve his show, ensuring an authentic tribute night which sees audience members returning time after time. When Dean appeared on the X Factor in 2013, Gary said he liked the name Bootleg Barlow and was flattered to have Dean as a tribute.
The show is self-contained with a top quality PA and light system, ensuring each performance is "absolutely fantastic"- no less than Mr Barlow would insist upon.
The show covers many of the hit songs written and performed by Gary Barlow including 'Forever Love' and 'Let Me Go'. Of course all the greatest hits of Take That are also included, from the 1990s classics 'A Million Love Songs', 'Pray' and 'Relight My Fire' to the more recent 'Patience', 'Greatest Day', 'Rule The World', and 'These Days'.
Dean also performs as Gary in the Take That tribute band Take@That.


MID Cheshire's classroom assistants have overwhelmingly rejected new pay and grading proposals and are preparing for county-wide strike action.
MID Cheshire's classroom assistants have overwhelmingly rejected new pay and grading proposals and are preparing for county-wide strike action.
Hundreds of assistants employed in the county's schools voted in a secret ballot to reject the proposals offered under Cheshire County Council's Single Status pay review.
Under Single Status, county council chiefs aim to change how classroom assistants are paid.
About 1,900 teaching assistants - currently earning less than £14,000 and already viewed as significantly under-paid - face cuts of more than £2,000 per year. Many professional staff face pay cuts of nearly £6,000 per year.
One Northwich teaching assistant, who asked not to be named, said: 'Nobody wants this and feelings are running high. The biggest problem for me is that I will be classed as part-time because I only do 32.5 hours a week. That will affect my maternity entitlements and my pension because it will naturally take longer to work out the contributions.
Most classroom assistants work 32.5 hours a week, are classed as full-time and are paid for 52 weeks of the year. But under the new deal, assistants say they will be classed as part-time and will be paid for 45.6 weeks of the year if they have worked for five years or more, or 44.5 weeks for five years or less.
Following lengthy negotiations on local implementation of the national Single Status agreement, the council came up with proposals for a 'pay-line', which it says is all it can afford.
While this benefits many low-paid female workers - something Unison welcomes - it leaves thousands of staff facing major pay cuts.
The union's stance has now been massively supported by its members in a secret postal ballot. With a 61% turnout, the 88% vote for rejection represents an absolute majority of members saying no to the proposals.
