Roderick Darling, Downing College, 2015-2016
Before starting ESD, I was working with BHP Billiton, a mining company, where I spent a number of years managing projects at an iron ore mine and working with the owner's team in managing the construction of a gas-fired power station. I was based in the Pilbara, a desert region in central Western Australia – it was a big change when I arrived in lush Cambridge!
My previous study had been a Bachelor of Commerce and a Master of Engineering, both of which I was awarded by the University of Melbourne.
Dissertation title:
Steel Stock and Rate of Production in a +2oC World
Students report:
Why did you do the ESD MPhil?
When I was working on the power station project, I saw how the decision was made to move away from a simple gas power station, to a combined-cycle power station, (where the exhaust heat is used to raise steam and to run additional steam turbines) almost doubling the efficiency of power generation. Because this power station consumes less gas, it is both less expensive to run and it emits much less carbon.
This project opened my eyes to the possibility of decoupling emissions from economic activity, this really sparked my interest and curiosity about sustainable development. I saw ESD as a terrific way to further my understanding of the intersection between economics, policy and the environment.
How did it help you?
ESD is terrific because it is so flexible. There is the scope to focus on the micro area like building physics, or a macro area like global climate change policy.
I was interested in energy, policy, environmental science and economics and selected subjects accordingly. This broad approach has given me a great foundation for understanding the challenges in this space.
What are you doing now?
Since completing the course, I have moved back to Melbourne, Australia. In the new year I will be starting work as an Associate at McKinsey & Co., where I hope to apply the skills and knowledge I acquired through the course.

I have been reading your threads about your customised shoes and I'm feeling inspired. I have several pairs that I don't wear any more.
Can I use acrylic paint on leather or fake leather?
3 thin coats and then what to seal it?


Of all the Scottsdale photographers I received a phone call from Tim Furrier, owner of Desert Rat asking me to shoot a poster he was helping sponsor and put together for the annual CVS toy drive. Being a top quality photographer, I was glad to take on this new photo opportunity. I knew the kids would respond well to me, because I am fun to work with and enjoy to make each shoot unique and personal.
This particular image was taken on a beautiful sunny day at the Shea/Gold Dust location in Scottsdale, Arizona. The poster can be seen valley wide at 125 CVS Pharmacy's in Maricopa County, Arizona. In all my 20+ years of being a professional photographer, this was the first time the Police Department assisted me with setting up for the shoot. In anticipation of the arrival of Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the police blocked off the parking lot while we arranged the kids with the toys and presents.
This was a fun shoot and it brought a smile to my face seeing how excited the kids were to be getting their pictures taken along side Santa Claus and the local Sheriff. I am always glad to donate to charities and especially kids in need.
We shot some cool senior portraits of Tiffiny in downtown Phoenix yesterday. Tiffiny goes to Cactus Shadows School now and will go going to the downtown ASU Campus next year. We looked for locations that were old and had great textures and colors and wanted to make the images look fun as possible.
In two hours we shot in a dozen different spots with six outfit changes. I shoot portraits in any and all parts of the valley. The great spring time weather made it really easy to be walking and driving around downtown creating unique portraits in the late afternoon easy and comfortable too.
Arcadia photography comes up with some great kids portrait ideas and one of the most fun was photographing this child eating pudding. we had pudding everywhere and so did he. Not only did we come up with some great images the parents loved, but we made a great memory for everyone involved. Our studio still smells like chocolate.
We photographed the Moehn family last week in North Scottsdale at their parents residence. The house was great to shoot in as was the desert landscaping outside and around the house. It was a really nice day and desert up by Pinnacle Peak is beautiful for Scottsdale portrait photographers, creative portrait photographers, and creative portrait photographers. I had shot their wedding about five years ago and now they have a daughter. So, I photographed them and their siblings families along with the parents and then the entire group.
I shot the Ressler family last weekend at their home in Scottsdale. I brought a studio set up and we did both studio type images and outdoor location images all at one time at one location. We shot the entire family, then all three of the families, and then each of the smaller kids.
With a couple outfit changes this is the best way to get the most out of a photo shoot. You are more likely to put more pictures up in your home to enjoy if they do not look like they were all done at the same time. As professional portrait photographers of their wedding also a couple years back, it is alway great to keep photographing people as their families grow. I love doing high end portrait photography and creating artistic portrait photos for families anywhere in the valley of the sun.
Last weekend I photographed Eddie and Katarina's wedding held on a small clearing on the side of Camelback Mountain in Paradise Valley, Arizona. Being a creative wedding photographer shooting weddings at private residences are my favorite places, especially when they are on the sides of mountains. I also shoot weddings in Scottsdale and Phoenix, Arizona.
Semhar & Surfeal got married last weekend in Scottsdale, Arizona and it was a two day event that had receptions in Phoenix and Scottsdale. The wedding had 900+ guests and the family reception the next day had 500+ guests. This was definitely the largest wedding we have ever photographed regarding invited guests. It was a really long weekend but I really enjoy every time I get to be part of a wedding that is from a different culture. The couple, their family and most of the wedding guests were from Eritrea which is a newer country in Africa and just gained it's independence less than 20 years ago. The wedding was really a lot of fun, a lot of dancing, a lot of good food, and a lot of great people. The wedding planner played a huge roll in the success of this wedding and she was the very detail oriented and excellent in every aspect. Her name is Amina of Some Like It Classic (visit her site here at http://www.somelikeitclassic.com/amina.html) and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Scottsdale Wedding Photographers – Arcadia Photography.
Shooting beauty type and crazy fun, cool portrait photography images are some of my favorite to create. Whether in the studio or on location photography. It is always fun to shoot what ever I want or what ever someone wants of themselves. It's almost like shooting for fun and let's see what is the coolest or strangest thing I can come up with for my clients.

9 Unusual Greetings from Around the World
Back in 2009, there were 6,909 distinct languages in the world. In 2017, there are 195 countries in the world. Current world population is estimated at 7.5 billion.
When you think about it, that's a lot of languages, a lot of countries, and a lot of human beings, right? All these people have certain things in common. They all eat, sleep, think, act, communicate, but also, at some point or another, they greet each other. Greetings can vary greatly from country to country, especially if the two are located far away from each other.
This variation in greetings makes it very easy for an unsuspecting traveler to offend a person from another country. This variation in greetings (as well as signs and signals of mockery, derision, and insult) also makes it very easy to get beaten up. Okay, kidding, but you get it.
When you think about different greetings, you most probably don't stray far away from that of your own country. Handshake, kiss on the cheek? You may even think of the "exotic" ones, for example, Spain with its two kisses. Touching noses? A Botswana 3-step handshake, as a legitimate greeting? Sticking your tongue out?!
All legitimate, all used regularly.
Let's go over 9 different hand-picked unusual greetings from around the world.
1. Tibet
By far the most unusual one (to a typical Westerner) is the Tibetan In order to say hello to you, the people of Tibet stick their tongues out, an act of mocking and derision in Western cultures. It is said that an evil ancient Tibetan king had a black tongue, so Tibetans stick their tongues out to other people to convince them they are not, in fact, the reincarnated king.
2. New Zealand
Another unusual greeting is the traditional greeting of the Maori people of New Zealand. They greet visitors (not each other) with a gesture called hongi. They do it by closing their eyes and gently touching foreheads and noses together. The greeting imbues the visitor with the Maori breath of life. It's a beautiful and often very emotional interaction between two human beings.
Not so exotic, but to a Westerner unused to double-kissing – highly confusing. When you meet a Spaniard, you kiss them on the cheek. Twice. On his, ten or so visits to Madrid, the author of this article had great difficulties adjusting to the double-kiss greeting. He'd almost always forget the second one, finding himself in a number of embarrassing and amusing situations.
In Japan, bow. Generally, the deeper the bow, the more you respect the other person. Indicative of the importance of the bow, is the fact that children learn how to perform it properly from a very young age. Bows usually fall within three categories: informal, formal, and very formal – at 15, 30, and 45 degrees, respectively.
You've heard of Namaste, right? It is a traditional Indian greeting, in which people put their palms together (usually over their heart) and say "Namaste". It's beautiful and has a certain meditative quality.
6. Greece
Every 'dude', 'bro' and 'chap' in a pub patting everyone on the back and putting their arms around people's shoulders would fit in perfectly in Greece. A lot of Greek men pat each other on the back or shoulders when greeting each other.
7. Kenya
If you're not particularly excited by even the aforementioned exotic greetings, pop over to Kenya. The Maasai, a Kenyan warrior tribe, perform an elaborate ceremony to welcome their visitors. Adamu is a traditional jumping dance, performed by the warriors who gather in a circle, chanting, shouting, and trying to see who can jump the highest. It's quite a spectacle.
8. Thailand
In Thailand, you'll come across the traditional Thai greeting called Wai. In a Wai you press your palms together (as if praying), and slightly bow your head. Much like the Indian Namaste, Wai has a certain meditative, calming quality about it.
9. World
To sum this list up, let us not forget the ever-present greeting, to a lot of people in the world most familiar and natural: the handshake. Wherever you are in the world, if you are not sure how to greet a person, a handshake will prove a relatively safe, all-around, universal fallback greeting. Also, it's worth noting that handshakes are an appropriate way to greet both men and women. Quick handshake guide: firm grip (but not too firm), look the other person straight in the eye and go for a quick one-pump handshake (not too long, not too short). You're good to go.
Before you travel anywhere in the world, besides researching things like hotels, restaurants, and airline tickets, spend a couple of minutes reading about any potential cultural differences you might encounter. It would be prudent to learn how to greet the locals, learn the rules of conduct, and perhaps even learning a word or two (hello, thank you) in their language.

Brachylophus fasciatus is an arboreal species of lizard. Sexually dimorphic, males have two or three blue bands 0.02m wide crossing their emerald green background with a pattern of spots and stripes on the nuchal region. Females are solid green with occasional spotting or partial bands. Both sexes have yellow-rimmed nostrils.
Although there appear to be slight variations between insular populations, none have been well-described. The skin of Brachylophus fasciatus is sensitive to light and the lizard can change its skin color to match its background. Their long, spindly toes end in claws, and these help them to climb the trees that they live in.
The cage size is 1 x 1.1 x 1.2 ( WxDxH) meters (3.2 x 3.6 x 3.9 feet). The cages are made so the iguanas have a big active surface( the active surface is the total amount of space the iguanas can physical use), It can be the bottom of the cage or the branches. To max out the active surface area, the cages are made with thin branches on the walls which give the iguanas the possibility to use all the walls to climb on. Branches are added in different sizes and angles all over the cages, and all have rough bark. The bottom of my cages are made with 4mm plastic sheets. This way I am sure no water will leak from the substrate and that the iguanas can't destroy the bottom when they dig to lay their eggs.
I use bio active substrate in my adult cages. The bio substrate is made of 50% forest floor and 50% compost. All the bugs that live in these two types of substrate are added to the cages, which mean that we have alot of different types of bugs in the substrate. In the substrate there are bugs like woodlice, springtails, earwigs, centipedes, millipedes and a few snails. The depth of the substrate is only about 0.15 m (0.5 feet), it is deep enough for the females to lay their eggs.
I check the substrate once a week to see if water need to be added. I try to keep different levels of humidity in different areas of the substrate so that when the females are ready to lay eggs, they can choose what level of humidity is perfect for them. Same go for substrate temp. The temp in my substrate is 25-31 ºC (77-87 ºF) depending on where in the cage.
All my cages has LED lights as main light. I use 2 x 14w for each cage, the color is 4200 kelvin which is a neutral white. Each light put out 1550 lumen. As basking spots I use 35w flood bulbs, they give a wider beam then a normal spot bulb, this way the iguanas can have there whole body under the light(without the tail), I use the 35w because I don't need the basking bulb to heat the cages, it only has to create a basking spot. My basking spots are around 38-40 ºC (100-105 ºF) (temp is measured on the back of the iguana).
All my iguanas are in the same room of the central heater for my house and it give enough heat into the room together with the cages to create a day temp of 28 ºC (82 ºF). At night the temp drop to about 23 ºC (73ºF) during summer, in winter the night temp drop to about 20 ºC (68 ºF). To mimic the natural light cycle on fiji, the cages have the main lights turned on for 11.5 hours a day. Basking lights turn on 1 hour later then the main light and turn off 2 hours before the main light. That way it create an "evening" and the iguanas will find there preferred sleeping areas.
Fiji iguanas will drink water drops off standing leaves to obtain hydration. So as mentioned above using a misting system will keep your iguana hydrated.
As for the humidity, I use a mist system. One spray head in each cage, and they mist every 6 hours for 15 sec. this together with the bio substrate make it possible to have a constant humidity around 75-80%.
All my iguanas get fresh food every day, normally in the morning. Their food is mainly leafy greens like plantain and dandelion. A normal feeding contain about 10 different items, one of the items are normally some kind of fruit. They get so much food so a little is always left, that way im sure they get enough. I do not normally feed insects to my adult iguanas, the reason why I don't is that I have never seen any proof that fiji iguanas eat insects in the wild. But I have read documents and zoo info that say they are 100% herbivore.
I do give my adults a dubia as a snack, it happens about once every 2 months. Females that have just laid eggs, I normally give a few dubias, and some water. As for my babies, they get insects about 1 time a week for the first 4-5 months. I do not use a supplement during the summer because the iguanas get everything they need from the plants I use for there food. During winter I use a mineral mix 1-2 times a week and a vitamin mix about 2 times a month. Also calcium powder is added 2-3 times a week since it can be hard for me to find calcium rich plants in the stores near me. Here is a list of plants and fruits I use for my iguanas.
I work to gain the trust of my iguanas, because it makes a lot easier if I need to check a wound or something on them, and do stuff in their cages. The way I gain trust is very simple. Ofcourse most of my iguanas love dubias, so feeding them the rare treat with a tweezer is a nice way to start, but also fruit can be used (I use fruit normally). I slowly start making them come closer to me and I will use my other hand as a "platform"for them to walk onto when they start trusting me. They will slowly become more bold and come closer, and in the end they wont have a problem with me picking of a piece of skin and stuff like. It can take a long time to gain their trust, but its worth it in the end.
If you are using the Bio-active substrate the only thing you have to do is spot cleaning.
The most common reason for shedding problems is too low humidity. Humidity should stay around 70-80%. Sometimes the humidity is not enough, so it can be helped with a spray bottle. Spray the iguana carefully to soak the skin it has problem shedding. I'm not a fan of giving them a bath, since it often stresses them, so the spray bottle is in my opinion a better solution.
The most common cause of MBD is from a imbalance in the levels of calcium, phosphorous, and vitamin D in their bodies. The symptoms are often limping, bowed legs, hard lumps along the legs, spinal column, jaw softening and unusual flexibility of the lower jaw, difficulty raising the body off the ground and decreased appetite. If caught and identified in the early stages, MBD is easy to treat.
Wounds sometime occurs when Fijian iguanas are kept in pairs( specially in mating attempts). Females can often get wounds on the front legs or in there neck from the mating attempts, these can be flesh wounds. it is important to keep an eye on the wounds to make sure they don't get infected.

What an incredible turnout at Toad's this past Friday 12/9/16. The John Kadlecik Band rocked the house with a stunning performance!
Special thanks to Todd Stoops for sharing the keyboard rig for the Creamery Station opening set. Todd's inventive keyboard chops were something to behold – perfectly complementing John's seemingly effortless, fluid, lucid guitar and vocals.
Sitting in for Klyph Black on bass (unavailable due to a family emergency) was Joe Gallant – who displayed such finesse and dexterity on the instrument, one might think he'd been with the band since its inception.
Nathan Graham on drums glued it all together with drive and subtle intricacy that was an absolute treat for the astute listener – not to mention the ocean of dancers mesmerized by the totality of the band's holistic groove.


Imagine slipping into the warm, massaging bubbles of a hot tub - relaxing in peace on your own, sharing a romantic evening with your partner or socializing with friends - barbecue sizzling, glass of wine at hand…..fantastic!
If it's something a little different you're looking for, one of these may be just the thing.
At one time only for the rich and famous, the popularity of the hot tub has driven prices down, making them a much more affordable garden feature. They might still be one of the more expensive items in your outdoor living space but, hey, if you like to be different and enjoy the luxuries of life, one might be well worth considering.
I must admit, when they first became readily available, I had misconceptions about their suitability for use in the UK and other relatively cooler climates, and their installation and maintenance, until doing some research for a garden design.
Having duly set off to take a look, I ended up in one after a very short time! What an amazing experience. So warm and relaxing, with bubbles and jets massaging places you never thought you had! Totally invigorating. You could almost call it therapy! - Well, not almost - it is!! Needless to say, I was reluctant to leave.
In fact these tubs are ideally suited to cooler conditions (very popular in Canada and Sweden, for their therapeutic benefits) and especially for evening use, where they really come into their own, with the addition of garden lighting, scented candles, interesting surrounding structures and planting, music (some even have integrated CD players), food and drink, good company or just a good book.....Sounds too good to be true!
There are many suppliers around if you wish to buy a spa, ranging from good value ones to more expensive, luxury options.
Find a good selection of mid-range hot tubs here with ideas for gazebos and pergolas under which to install them.
A strong surface is required to take the weight of the tub, water and people. This could be a sound concrete base, a patio or a gravelled area of solid earth. Placed on the ground, surrounded by decking looks fabulous too.
Placing on top of a deck isn't advisable due to the vibration of the pumps and the weight. But the deck can be built around the hot tub so that you step down into it. This looks stunning!
Aesthetically, this outstanding feature is best linked to other features/structures in the garden such as paved, decked or gravelled areas/paths, a pergola, trellis, gazebo, planting - something to link the whole scheme together, otherwise it will literally be outstanding, and not in a good way!
Imagine your hot tub in the middle of a lawn, away from the house, all on its lonesome - exposed, solitary, not really that great. Comfort, shelter, warmth and relaxation are the aims here. So consider carefully how to best maximize its potential.
Reasonably near to the house is good for ease and comfort. A clean access route is highly recommended, using some sort of hard-landscaping material - muddy, grassy feet don't make for clean water!
Standing on solid ground within a decked area.
Standing on solid ground within a large decked area, with the other part being used for garden furniture such as a dining set, sun-loungers, a hammock or bean bags.
Set on gravel or a patio, within two trellis panels set at right angles, with planters.
Under a pergola, with various base materials with, or without, trellis and balustrade.
In a summerhouse, with changing area.
Or any combination of these!
A few well-placed plants and accessories can create a fabulous effect.
Spas have a modern feel in terms of garden design, and therefore they look great with clean lines using modern, minimalist accessories - loungers, firepits, chimineas and lighting - and simple, bold planting.
For instance, pergola, trellis and hot tub arrangements look fantastic in themselves but with the addition of carefully chosen climbing plants and colourful tubs can lift the area to new heights.
Planted pots might be filled with annual bedding, grouped on their own or used with architectural evergreens such as fatsia japonica, phormiums, photinias, rhododendrons, azaleas and pieris.
Here we have a beautiful deep pink rhododendron, which could be used to give useful architectural evergreen colour all year round, but with a fantastic flush of colour in the spring. One or two of these, placed carefully in the area, maybe all that is needed to give structure and shelter. Not too close though, as these, as with most plants, do drop their flowers. If this is going to be a problem, use plants that don't drop their leaves or flowers.
And then, of course there are all the lights, scented candles, fire pits, chimineas, barbecues, cushions and garden furniture, orbs, sculptures, pots and food and drink accessories that can make such a difference to the overall feel of this wonderful haven of relaxation.
Careful thought is needed before buying a hot tub but all good suppliers offer in-depth advise related to their products - warranties, delivery and access, drainage outlets, power supply and costs, styles, to name but a few.
Be aware of what is involved to keep the water in tip top condition, as there is some maintenance involved.
Enjoy creating this truly stunning feature - your garden will be the most fabulous place to relax and unwind!

El Tiempo 1308 Annex
322 Westheimer Rd. | Houston, TX 77006
The second Montrose-area location of El Tiempo Cantina's wildly popular Tex-Mex concept opened along Lower Westheimer in spring 2015. The sibling restaurant is the seventh in the Laurenzo family's culinary empire, which is known for its signature fajitas and margaritas.
The new outpost unfolds in a two-story space with 297 seats, a slightly larger venue than the original Montrose location, but the food than fans love remains the same. The menu features classics like tacos, tamales, chalupas, enchiladas and combo plates while house specialties involve the oak grill for savory fajitas, quail, baby back ribs and jalapeno sausage. Fresh fish, spicy shrimp, scallops and swordfish enjoy the same smoky treatment. The full bar serves premium tequilas, fresh made margaritas and pitchers of brandy-laden sangria.
El Tiempo 1308 Annex is open for lunch and dinner daily, along with breakfast on Sundays from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.


... the systems at the development and design stages) fall under classification as follows: The systems that digitize X-ray image retrieved with the help of X-ray image amplifier (for example, the mass-screening units based on image intensifier); CR - Digital X-ray imaging implying luminophors and fluorescent (for example, computed radiography digitizers). This type of radiography systems utilizes phosphor plates. Semiconductor detectors; Digital X-ray imaging on the basis of multi conduct proportional camera; Digital X-ray imaging on the basis of multiple camera technology; The systems that use digital scanning for posterior development and processing digital x-ray images (for example, scanning radiographic X-ray units). There are three popular systems of digital X-ray imaging: CR (computed radiography), DR (digital radiography), and CCD (charge-coupled device) Array.
The successful candidate should show a profound knowledge of these systems along with the understanding of the mechanisms of their functioning. So, lets examine these systems more thoroughly. CR Computed Radiography Systems CR systems utilize luminescent storage screens. CR systems allow the radiologist to make digital X-ray images using any kind of X-ray units utilized in analogue radiology (even in resuscitators and resuscitation units). The main features of CR systems are: Possibility to choose the area of radiation sensor (detector); Wide dynamic range that allows receiving high quality images (both hard and soft tissues); The sensitivity is close to the film speed; Allows creating digital archive; Networking; Computed Radiography is the most popular method of digital X-ray imaging. For example, in osteology CR allows making digital image of bone and tissue structure, soft tissues, junctions, tendons, muscles, subcutaneous fat, and skin.
The analogue radiography is unable to provide the X-ray image of similar quality. So, how does computed radiography works? Computed radiography system utilize special plates that receive the image after they are irradiated (successively, dot by dot) scanned by special laser device. The luminous flux that appears in result of this irradiation is transformed into digital signal. After the computer enhancement is completed, the contours of the image are intensified, and image visibility is enhanced, the digital image is either being printed (film printing) or reproduced at the television monitor of the working console.
Luminous plates- storage elements can be placed instead of the traditional sets film screen-intensifier and may be used in traditional X-ray units. The luminous place has higher exposure latitude compared to traditional combinations film-screen. This feature allows increasing the interval between under- and over-exposure. In such a way, computed radiography allows to obtain comparatively contrast digital images even in case the exposure share is very low (when the lower limit is equal to the level of quantum noise).
Therefore, even in case the X-ray imaging is made in the patients room, digital luminous technology guarantees qualitative X-ray image. Digital luminous technology utilizes digitizers with high level of spatial resolution (compared to traditional screen-film technologies). Yet, the main advantage of digital luminous technology is the ability to reproduce low-contrast details, while the exposure of small and tiny details remains the prerogative of traditional X-ray imaging (film imaging). The basic structure and methods of functioning can be presented with the help of the following image: Image 1 - Computed radiography digitizer 1 Generator; 2 - X-ray tube; 3 patient; 4 storage plate; 5 transporting device; 6 - analog-to-digital converter; 7 image storage device; 8 - video processor; 9 network; 10 digital-to-analog converter; 11 monitor; 12 X-ray image; 13 radiologist What concerns pneumo genic pathologies, computed radiography allows finding out mutative change of low and high density. It makes possible to differentiate the nidus of infection and pulmonary fibrosis from infiltrating tumors (Siegel 82).
Anatomical elements of root of lung and pulmonary pleura are visible thus making possible to find out lysis of cells. Computed radiology is effectively applied in urology, as it provides an opportunity to obtain the shadows of insignificant radiopaque calculus in the areas, where visualization causes certain difficulties of diagnosis (when traditional x-ray imaging is used). Digital X-ray imaging allows visualizing more distinguished boundaries and shadows of kidney at the plain films, along with contours of soft tissues and muscles. High contrast resolution and wide dynamic range of digital x-ray imaging characterize distinctive features and peculiarities of visualization of stomach, small and large intestines pathologies.
Computed Radiography combines the basic methodological settings of analogue x-ray examination (spot-film radiography, dosing irradiation, etc) (Dreyer 115) with all digital technologies. The importance of use of computed radiography in child pathologies should not be underestimated, as it implies the lowest level of irradiation and qualitative X-ray inspection. The advantages of computed radiography systems for making digital X-ray images in resuscitation units with the help of palate myo graphs and other medical equipment should be taken into account. Digital Radiography and electro optical transducer (image converter tube) screen Digital Radiography system consists of image converter tube, television tract with high resolution, X-ray high-voltage generator, and X-ray emitter, digital converter, and other components. During the traditional X-ray imaging, optical image that appears in the transmitters output screen, the image is captured by 100 mm photo camera or cinerama (Fujita 13 - 18). Digital X-ray imaging is completely different, as the signal coming from camera is transformed by analog-to-digital converter into digital data set, and then it is transmitted into storage device.
Later, the obtained data, in accordance with the selected parameters, are transformed into visible image by computer device (See Image 2) Image 2 Digital Radiography 1 Generator; 2 - X-ray tube; 3 patient; 4 - electro optical transducer (image converter tube); 5 camera; 6 - analog-to-digital converter; 7 storage device; 8 video processor; 9 network; 10 digital-to-analog converter; 11 monitor; 12 X-ray image; 13 radiologist Selenium Photocell-based Radiography Selenium Photocell-based Radiography is one of the newest digital radiography systems. The basic part of this system consists of detector in the form of drum covered with a layer of amorphous selenium (See Image 3). Image 3 - Selenium Photocell-based Radiography 1 Generator; 2 - X-ray tube; 3 patient; 4 Selenium drum transducer; 5 scanning electrodes and amplifier; 6 - analog-to-digital converter; 7 image storage device; 8 video processor; 9 network; 10 digital-to-analog converter; 11 monitor; 12 X-ray image; 13 radiologist Selenium radiography is used in the systems of chest X-ray imaging alone. High contrast between lung fields and mediastinal pleura peculiar for chest X-ray images is smoothed out during digital processing (Hoehne 602 - 623).
At the same time, this new technology doesnt reduce the hardness of the digital image. High ratio signal / noise is the second advantage of Selenium-based radiography. Charge Coupled Device (CCD) Array CCD is also one of the most popular digital X-ray imaging systems. The history of CCD springs from 1963 (Trussell 615 - 627), when S. R.
Morrison (Honeywell Co. ) announced the invention of photo scanner semiconductor photosensitive device. Later in 1970, due to extensive studies and researchers conducted by W. S. Boyle, G. E. Smith and G.
G. Amelia (Bell Laboratory) (Trussell 615 - 627) Charge Coupled Device appeared. So, what is the technology used in CCD? The following image explains the principle of operation on the basis of the simplest CCD. It provides a schematic map describing one pixel in the mode of storage.
The structure consists of p-type siliceous support, isolating layer silicon dioxide, and electrodes. Charge Coupled Device principle of operation is based on inner photo emissive effect. The modern CCD matrix use additional thin n-layer (so-called volumetric al transport channel) that allows reducing the negative impact caused by near-surface layer of the semiconductor (Trussell 615 - 627) and adds sharpness to the image. Besides, some manufacturers use anti blooming technology to prevent the effect of charge spread caused by intense irradiance. Radiologist: Qualification and Skills First of all, radiologist should understand the process of X-ray imaging and digital x-ray imaging perfectly.
The successful candidate should understand that radiology and X-ray imaging is not just a method that allows finding out diseases, but also one of the most valuable methods that makes the radiologist to understand and examine the (pathologic) process through the various intermediate stages. The very term radiology seems to be too narrow, as it is unable to explain the wide range of qualifications and skills required by radiologist during his career. From the above it appears that the successful candidate should be able to meet the exacting needs and high requirements. To a certain extent, radiologist is a consultant, who has to be familiar with the state-of-the-art technologies. It is our opinion that radiologist should be an active participant not only in the issues concerning the questions of x-ray image recognition, x-ray imaging, or examination. The successful candidate should also know how to use the technologies and particular features of digital X-ray imaging in order to have a comprehensive and all-out picture of clinical understanding of his actions.
Under this assumption, the qualified radiologist, who is responsible for diagnosis of bones and junctions malfunctions and diseases, should bring himself abreast of the trends of radiology. He should also keep himself abreast of the basic modern knowledge in etiology and pathogenesis of diseases, to know their clinical manifestation and symptoms, the existing methods of treatment, indications and contraindications for use, to mention a few. A successful candidate should also be able to evaluate the clinical course under the influence of medical treatment, scientific prognostics, etc. It means that, for example, a successful radiologist, who specializes in the field of clinical osteology should have definite knowledge in related areas (e. g. surgery, orthopedics, traumatic surgery, astrology, oncology, medial medicine, pediatrics, neuropathology, phthisiology, syphilology, infectiology, hematology, endocrinology, vitamin ology, toxicology, military medicine, to mention a few).
Naturally, it doesnt mean that the radiologist should know all these medicine-related areas perfectly, but he should have at least general knowledge in all these areas. The successful candidate should have certain knowledge in general medicine, along with the knowledge enough to have his own representation of complicated clinical presentation. In case the radiologist has knowledge enough, he will be able to persist in his stand (in case necessary, and/ or in case of disputable diagnosis). In case the candidate is unable to meet these requirements, he will be unable to fulfill his duties perfectly.
No doubts, the final product of X-ray examination is the x-ray imaging and the conclusion made by radiologist. X-ray film itself is very important, but radiologists conclusion is the matter of primary importance. The X-ray imaging itself is the first step on the way to correct medical diagnosis. It requires specific technical skills and experience. At the same time, technological aspects of x-ray imaging are rather the matter of secondary importance. The most qualitative x-ray image cannot provide an appropriate interpretation itself.
Therefore, the successful candidate should understand that the most responsible moment of the radiologists work is interpretation, and the ability to read x-ray image. Here we come to conclusion that the successful candidate should combine technical skills with his practical experience and knowledge. Works Cited Andriole, K.

49ers Top 20 for '20: #8 Fred Warner
Cary Edmondson-USA TODAY Sports
49ers Top 20 for '20: #8 Fred Warner
Gilbert Brink
By Gilbert Brink follow
Fred Warner is the heart and soul of the 49ers defense. Drafted in the 3rd round in 2018, the 49ers saw a rangy hybrid linebacker who represented an evolution of the position. Warner was not meant to be the run stopping middle linebacker from a bygone era, Warner's skills perfectly matched the current state of the game. A game in which passing is emphasized by coaching and officiating, where a good QB earns $30 million a year while the very best running back can't make $15 million.
Though the 49ers drafted Warner with this in mind, they got so much more than they bargained for. Upon his arrival the 49ers hoped to pair him with Rueben Foster as their 1-2 punch at linebacker. Foster was their first-round pick from 2017, and looked to be the future of the defense. This made it even more impressive when Warner, not Foster, got the green dot on his helmet in his rookie season. The 3rd round rookie from BYU displayed the intelligence, leadership and commitment to be the defensive signal caller. By November 2018 Foster was released. Foster's poor behavior was the main reason for his release, but it's hard not to look at the development of Warner as something that made the decision that much easier. Warner was becoming what Foster was drafted to be, a team leader.
In 2019 the 49ers paired Warner with free-agent linebacker Kwon Alexander and then magic happened. Once timid, Alexander instilled confidence in Fred Warner, and in doing so, Warner's game elevated to a higher echelon. In 2018 Warner was solid, in 2019 Warner was a threat. With Warner commanding the defense the 49ers made it all the way to Super Bowl 54 and came up just short of a championship. While they may have lost a title, they found their defensive leader for the next decade in the process.
Warner's statistical output saw a significant jump from 2018 to 2019. His ability to create turnovers was the most obvious area of improvement. Overall Warner recorded 118 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, 9 passes defended, 1 interception and 1 touchdown. Warner did it all for the 49ers in 2019. Pro Football Focus graded Warner out at a 66.9.
2020 Cost
Warner may be the very best value player on the 49ers in 2020, considering George Kittle will get a new deal of course. The 49ers are only paying Warner $1 million this coming season.
Picture Warner in red & gold for the next 10 years. His contract expires in 2021, at which point the 49ers would be foolish not to re-sign him and pay him like the cornerstone he is. His vast improvement from year 1 to year 2, coupled with his unquestionable leadership ability makes him a player the 49ers cannot afford to lose. When examining contracts of other players around the league at his position, it's fair to estimate his contract should cost the 49ers around $11-13 million per year. That will be money well spent.

Officially 'All-Pro Fred': 49ers LB Fred Warner named a first-team All-Pro
San Francisco 49ers teammates have been calling the young star linebacker "All-Pro Fred" for some time. Now, it is official. Fred Warner has finally been named a first-team All-Pro by the Associated Press. Warner, 24, also earned his first Pro Bowl selection this past season. Additionally, he earned the 49ers' top team-issued awards for his contributions this past season — the Len Eshmont Award and the Bill Walsh Award. "It's a huge honor," Warner said last month of his Pro Bowl selection. "That's one of those
49ers announce 2020 team award winners, including Fred Warner winning the Len Eshmont Award
The San Francisco 49ers announced team award winners for the 2020 season on Monday morning. Among the winners is Fred Warner, who earned the prestigious Len Eshmont Award. Past award winners can be found here. The following award descriptions are courtesy of the 49ers Communications staff. Len Eshmont Award LB Fred Warner The Len Eshmont Award is voted on by the players and is given to the 49er who best exemplifies the inspirational and courageous play of Len Eshmont, an original member of the 1946 49ers team. Eshmont, who coached at Navy and Virginia following his career in San Francisco, died in 1957. The award was established that year. Bill
John Lynch expects to keep Fred Warner, calls linebacker a 'big part of the fabric' of the 49ers
San Francisco 49ers fans started to get a little worried last year as the season drew closer and All-Pro tight end George Kittle still didn't have a contract extension. That all got resolved around mid-August, though. Could the 49ers be facing a similar challenge with linebacker Fred Warner, who is preparing to enter the final year of his rookie deal? Obviously, general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan would prefer to lock up their young defensive star for the foreseeable future, and they expect that to happen. That doesn't mean extending Warner will be easy. The 49ers will need to reward the linebacker financially while juggling the complexities of a shrinking salary cap. "We talk about challenges, and those challenges are there,"

Q: all spaces replaced by tabs when ctrl+shift+f working in eclipse,when I type 'tab',it insert 4 spaces,it works well.but after ctrl +shift +f to format,all the 4 space will been replaced by tabs.how to stop it?

A: Window->Preferences->Java->Code Style->Formatter: Edit Active profile->Indentation->Tab Policy: Select Spaces
You can't change the default profiles so you must provide a new profile name, then press the Apply button, then the Okay button.  It may help to press the Apply button once you have returned to the Formatter screen. Go back and look at the Tab Policy again to verify that your changes were saved.

A: Including the above suggestions, I recommend searching for code style or style to get to the coding standard being applied with the user requests formatting of the code.  It is possible that the code style uses tabs instead of spaces.

A: The only way that currently works is to use Ctrl-A Ctrl-X Ctrl-V on all code after using Ctrl-Shift-F. This will replace all tabs with spaces.

A: Don't know which version of Eclipse you are using but for
Eclipse 3.6 (for example) you may go to
Window->Preferences->General->Editors->Text Editors->Insert spaces for tabs
This will change Eclipse to use spaces instead of tabs

A: The place in the Preferences may be different depending on which version of Eclipse you use.  If you load the preferences window you can use the search function there to find "Formatters" and set your preferences for different types of files, or generally.

U.S.|Bergdahl to Be Questioned About Leaving Army Post

Bergdahl to Be Questioned About Leaving Army Post
By Helene Cooper
Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is undergoing outpatient treatment.Credit...Uncredited/US Army, via Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl will face investigators seeking to determine his legal future in about two weeks, Army officials said Wednesday, as they described the parameters of an inquiry to decide whether the onetime prisoner of war in Afghanistan intended to desert when he walked away from his combat outpost in 2009.
Sergeant Bergdahl, who was released last month after five years of captivity by the Taliban, has not yet been interviewed by the two-star general appointed last week to investigate the matter, the Army officials said. He has not been read his legal rights and has not asked for a lawyer, they said.
But the officials, speaking anonymously under ground rules imposed by the Army, said the investigation is expected to conclude in mid-August.
After his release in Afghanistan on May 31, Sergeant Bergdahl spent two weeks at the American military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, and was moved to the Brooke Army Medical Center at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston on June 13. This week, he began outpatient treatment. The Pentagon would not reveal his precise location to safeguard his "reintegration" process, a Defense official said, but an Army spokeswoman said that he remained at the base.
Military officials said they did not know whether Sergeant Bergdahl had spoken with his parents, Robert and Jani Bergdahl of Hailey, Idaho.
He has been interacting with medical staff at the base and has answered questions about his time in captivity, Army officials said.
Interviews with Sergeant Bergdahl thus far have focused on his time as a prisoner, a senior Army official said.
"Information he provides during the reintegration briefing could be used against him," the official said. "However, the focus of his reintegration has been from the point of capture onward."
The official added that Sergeant Bergdahl is not thought to have done anything wrong once he was captured. A military official said that Sergeant Bergdahl tried several times to escape.
If Sergeant Bergdahl said something incriminating during the interviews, the official said, the discussion would be stopped, and he would be read his rights and given access to a lawyer if he requested one.
Sergeant Bergdahl's freedom, in exchange for five Taliban detainees held at Guantánamo Bay, ignited a storm of controversy at home. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle criticized President Obama for not alerting Congress to the swap beforehand.
Members of Sergeant Bergdahl's platoon — some of them in interviews arranged by a Republican strategist — criticized the sergeant for voluntarily leaving his post in 2009. Some of those platoon members have said they want Sergeant Bergdahl to be tried for desertion.
Even if the sergeant is charged and found guilty of desertion, it is unclear whether the Army would punish a soldier who spent five years held by the Taliban.
A larger question, several defense officials said, is whether the Army will give Sergeant Bergdahl an honorable discharge if he is found guilty of desertion. For members of the military, a dishonorable discharge can weigh heavily on future job prospects. Army officials have emphasized that the goal of Sergeant Bergdahl's reintegration is to help him resume a normal life.
At some point after midnight on June 30, 2009, Sergeant Bergdahl, then a private, walked off his remote outpost in eastern Afghanistan, and was later seized by the Taliban, military officials have said.
A classified military report completed two months after he left his unit concluded that he most likely walked away of his own free will, but it stopped short of saying there was solid evidence that he had intended to permanently desert. The report noted that he had wandered away from assigned areas before and returned, according to people briefed on the report.


Pragmatically Applied Cervical and Thoracic Nonthrust Versus Thrust Manipulation for Patients With Mechanical Neck Pain: A Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial.
Griswold D, Learman K, Kolber MJ, O'Halloran B, Cleland JA. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther. 2018 Feb 6:1-30. doi: 10.2519/jospt.2018.7738.
Take Home Message: Nonthrust manipulation and thrust manipulation offer similar benefits for people with mechanical neck pain.
The use of thrust manipulation and nonthrust manipulation has been long standing, despite some irregularity in research findings regarding which treatment is more effective. Hence, Griswold and colleagues conducted a multicenter randomized trial to compare the effectiveness of cervical and thoracic nonthrust or thrust manipulation among individuals with mechanical neck pain. The authors randomly split 103 people who had no contraindications for manipulations into two groups. The primary outcome was the Neck Disability Index, which was collected with 6 other outcome measures. Ten clinicians (Orthopaedic Manual Therapy advanced practitioners) delivered either a thrust or nonthrust manipulation to the cervical (neck) or thoraicic (upper back) spine. They applied the manipulation intervention to a person's most symptomatic area of the spine. The clinician selected the appropriate dosage for each person. The authors used a randomised control trial design to reduce the chance of bias and had a reasonable sample size. The authors found no difference between the two groups on all seven outcome measures.
This is an interesting finding, as we infrequently see research on the difference between these two types of treatment for neck pain. Previously researchers showed that spinal manipulation (non-specified type of manipulation) was more effective than home exercises for neck pain and another study showed that thrust manipulation had similar effects to applying kinesio tape, but neither study used the two different types of manipulation. This study helps us appreciate that it may not matter as much as we previously thought which type of manipulation we use to treat a patient with mechanical neck pain. However, it is important to note that the clinicians could individualize the type of nonthrust or thrust technique as well as the dose for each person. A natural follow up question is how should we decide between thrust or nonthrust manipulations? The most important consideration here is to consider patient preference. Patients can sometimes have apprehension with thrust manipulations, and continuing with them even though the evidence shows they may not be required may result in reduced therapist-client rapport. Likewise, a patient may prefer thrust manipulations; therefore, they may have better outcomes with a thrust manipulation than if nonthrust manipulations were used. Of course, further reading and analysis of the scientific literature would be required before making a final decision. For further research, it would be helpful to assess the seven outcomes immediately after the first treatment (visit 1) as well as 6 and 12 months after discharge. This study failed to review symptoms after discharge, which may have presented insightful findings, as pain symptoms can subside with a delayed time frame after treatment. It would also be interesting to view the efficacy of thrust and nonthrust manipulations against an intervention that includes education-based therapy only. This will help to assess if the treatment protocols influenced symptoms or whether it may have been the nature of time and the natural course of soft tissue healing that caused the pain symptoms to reduce. In the meantime, clinicians may use either type of manipulation but should consider assessing their patient's preference or apprehensions to a specific treatment.
Questions for Discussion: Have you had any experience of thrust or nonthrust manipulation of the neck? What were your results?
I found this article comforting as this semester in one of my courses we covered how to do mobilizations and manipulations to the cervical spine. I found both to be helpful for symptom relief, however, I think I will continue to use mobilizations first if they yield similar results as manipulations for mechanical movement. Thanks for sharing this Kulraj.
I'm glad you found the article informative.
I agree with your assessment to utilise mobilisation as a first point of call given there may be less apprehension from patients due to the more subtle nature of the technique as compared to thrust manipulations.
Thanks, and all the best in your studies!

Tom Price, M.D. Congressman Georgia District 6
Tom Price, M.D. Biography from House.gov
Biography of Tom Price, M.D.
Congressman Tom Price was first elected to represent Georgia's 6th district in November 2004. Prior to going to Washington, Price served four terms in the Georgia State Senate – two as Minority Whip. In 2002, he was a leader in the Republican renaissance in Georgia as the party took control of the State Senate, with Price rising to become the first Republican Senate Majority Leader in the history of Georgia.
In Congress, Rep. Price has proven to be a vibrant leader, tireless problem solver and the go-to Republican on quality health care policy. He serves on the House Ways and Means and the Budget Committees. In the 112th Congress, Price was elected by his colleagues to serve as the fifth ranking Republican in the House as the Chairman of the Republican Policy Committee. In the preceding Congress, he served as Chairman of the Republican Study Committee. Committed to advancing positive solutions under principled leadership, Price has been a fierce opponent of government waste and devoted to limited government and lower spending.
For nearly twenty years, Rep. Price worked in private practice as an orthopedic surgeon. Before coming to Washington he returned to Emory University School of Medicine as an Assistant Professor and Medical Director of the Orthopedic Clinic at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, teaching resident doctors in training. He received his Bachelor and Doctor of Medicine degrees from the University of Michigan and completed his Orthopedic Surgery residency at Emory University.
Congressman Price and his wife, Elizabeth, reside in Roswell, GA. They have one son who is in college.
Congressman Price currently serves as the Chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee. He also sits on the House Committee on Ways and Means and the House Budget Committee.
Additionally, Chairman Price is a member of the following House Caucuses:
Republican Study Committee
Prayer Caucus
Tea Party Caucus
Republican Israel Caucus
Biography from Tom Price for Congress
LEADING – EVERY DAY:
While in Congress, Price has worked on bold, principled solutions to our many challenges, including energy, the economy, tax and health care policy.
Congressman Price has actively and aggressively fought for patient-centered health reform. He was the primary author of H.R. 3400, the Empowering Patients First Act, which would solve the remarkable challenges America faces in the realm of healthcare without putting the government in charge. He understands that what is needed is a system that maintains the highest quality care in the world while correcting the failings in the area of insurance coverage and non-medical decision making.
Because of his strong leadership, Congressman Price was elected by his colleagues to chair the House Republican Policy Committee. The Policy Committee serves to aid Republican members in advancing legislative initiatives.
REAL SOLUTIONS:
Sticking with bold solutions, Price has championed the FairTax. Americans spend millions of hours and billions of dollars each year trying to comply with a tax code we all know is broken. The FairTax would replace our current patchwork of income, payroll and death taxes eliminating the need for the IRS entirely with a single tax on consumption alone. This would lower taxes and greatly simplify the tax code by putting more money back in your pocket and producing an unprecedented economic boom. He strongly supports an "All You Can Create" energy program that would champion conservation, responsibly and aggressively utilize American resources for Americans, and incentivize our system to discover the new sources of energy to allow America to remain the leader of the world.
BIPARTISANSHIP:
In the area of health care, Congressman Price has reached across the aisle to find real solutions. Working with those who are battling for positive reform, he has helped forge and introduce solutions that embrace fundamental American principles to all of the challenges we face. He knows that bigger government is not the answer.
MEDICAL PRACTICE:
Congressman Price received a Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Michigan and completed his Orthopaedic Surgery residency at Emory University. He established an orthopaedic clinic just north of Atlanta, where he practiced for 20 years, helping grow his group into the largest private practice of orthopaedic surgeons in the nation. He then returned to Emory University School of Medicine as an assistant professor. Before coming to Congress, Dr. Price was medical director of the Orthopaedic Clinic at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, teaching resident doctors in training.
Price is active in the Atlanta community, is a past president of the Roswell Rotary Club and has served on Boards of the North Fulton Chamber of Commerce, Orchestra Atlanta, the Arthritis Foundation, and the North Metro YMCA. Congressman Price with his wife, Elizabeth, and family reside in Roswell. They are members of the Georgia Ensemble Theater, Roswell Clean and Beautiful, and the Chattahoochee Nature Center.

Yoghurt produced from soy milk are considered to have poor consumer acceptability and sensory attributes. Development in flavor and texture of soy milk yogurt needs a grouping of treatments. The present study employed some treatments including thermal, added flavor essence, sweetener, and animal's milk-based products to develop soy milk yoghurt.
Proximate analysis and consumer studies were carried out on the 10 soy milk yogurt formulations. The current study proposed that Gorgan 3 soybean variety created better soy yogurt than Pershing variety. By adding animal's milk-based products on soy yogurt can be improved taste and also make a good texture. Adding fruit (banana and orange) flavor essences and colors with sweetener (sucrose) increases the reception of the soy yogurt. Samples of soy yogurt formulations with the most preferred sensory attributes were the samples containing 1% skimmed milk powder; 2% sucrose with orange flavor essence; and 2% sucrose with banana flavor essence.
The purpose of this study is to determine the body mass index and problems encountered of selected endurance athletes of Bulacan State University during training and event proper that will be a basis of sports and nutrition program. The major instrument that was utilized in this is study consisted of survey questionnaire tool. The instrument has 3 parts. Part 1 is the demographic profile of the athletes of Bulacan State University which includes age, gender, living arrangement, and sports. Part 2 represents the level of nutritional status of the athletes in terms of BMI. Part 3 is the problems encountered by the respondents during training and competition. The research concluded that most respondents have normal body mass index.

Miguel Jarquin-Moreland: Alternate for Frankie Valli in 'Jersey Boys' Tour
Miguel Jarquin-Moreland is more than a cast member of the US tour of Jersey Boys, he's an outspoken ambassador for the show. Dance Informa got to talk with this charismatic guy who, more than once, expressed his gratitude for the honor of being the alternate cast for character Frankie Valli and admitted to frequently singing the show's songs around the house. What is it about this show that elicits such excitement? The well-spoken Miguel willingly shared his thoughts. Here are some highlights of our conversation.
Jersey Boys is a musical biography of the Four Seasons. What is it about this show and this story that keeps the crowds coming?
"The reason why this show is a standout is because of the writing. The writing (Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice) is beautiful, it is brilliant and it's a play first. Yes, it's a musical by definition and yes, there is singing and dancing but, this is a play. It is so cleverly written and the story is so interesting. These guys get in trouble with the mob and there's a lot of back-story with interesting characters and information about the world these guys lived in. They were Italians from Bellevue NJ, in the 1960s when racism was a prominent issue in the US. These guys are the classic story of rags to riches. There aren't very many musicals or shows written like this show. There's a reason why it won the Tony Award in 2006, there's a reason why John Lloyd Young won the Tony award for Frankie Valli and Christian Hoff won a Tony for his portrayal of Tommie DeVito. Yes, these actors did an amazing job but you can't do an amazing job without incredible writing. Because of that, the actor gets to be an artist in this show. This piece is art along with music that's classic and timeless; it's one of the greatest pieces written in musical history."

Who should see this show? What experience can an audience member expect?
"I promise you everyome out there is going to love this piece. If you have second guesses, do yourself a favor and come, you won't regret it. We've had rowdy crowds, reserved crowds and everything in between. The music is timeless. Throughout the decades Frankie Valli and the Four Season have created hit after hit that are so catchy they bring you back to an era that was all about the music. These songs are so catching and fun to do and they are all done in a concert style in the show, with the expectation of two pieces. So, during these concert style performed songs we absolutely want the audience to enjoy themselves and get rowdy if they want to. We gladly invite that in."
What are some nuances of the look, attitude and sound you needed to learn in order to play the role of Frankie Valli during the 1960s?
"The hair and the way these guys dressed and moved, their swagger, established them as a class. You didn't walk out in your nice jeans and a dress shirt and a flashy pair of sneakers or a hat. If you wanted to impress a woman, you walked out onto the street in a suit. You would wear your hair slicked back. Your hair had to be done in a way that if someone hit your hair, your hair wouldn't move. It was a different style and way of living. It's fun playing that kind of brash person living in a dangerous world.
I lived in New York for five years so, after living there, I developed a New York accent. When I'm away from New York it's not really there but when I'm in New York or on stage I talk no other way than the New York style. It's a different way of life, internally. I think being able to communicate in that kind of dialect is part of the nature of the piece.
As for the adult language in the piece, it's part of who these guys are. We as actors aren't trying to offend anybody and neither were the writers. That's just the world of this piece. To truly do them justice and to do the piece justice you have to communicate with one another the way these guys really did."
Do you have a favorite song from the piece?
"I do get pumped every time I do Sherry. I think that's one of my new favorites. That's the song when I'm taking a hiatus from the show that I sing around the house more than any other. Sherry is The Four Season's first hit and they recorded it in 15 minutes in a recording studio on a Sunday. It's also the first time audiences got to hear the falsetto sound that Frankie Valli learned to perfect. There are tons of people who use falsetto but nobody else has really had that sound to this day."

The show's guiding themes revolve around how the four main characters persevere by not giving up, not selling out and not forgetting where they came from. How do you personally relate to these values?
"In this industry, you are going to hear 100 'no's' before you hear a 'yes'. If you don't like hearing the word 'no', you are in the wrong business. These guys heard 'no' all the time. The more you put yourself out there, by auditioning, putting yourself in front of record labels or sending your demo to different agents and producers; you are going to hear a ton of 'no's'. You have to have perseverance. As an artist, that's what I have and every artist has in order to really make it in this industry. You can't give up."
How's life on tour? What do you do to keep physically and vocally fit?
"It starts with a lot of sleep; you have to get at least 8-9 hours sleep every night. You have to work out everyday and you have to do your vocal exercises. You also can't eat dairy or bread or something heavy that could possibly alter your voice before going onto stage.
I also have a 72-hour rule meaning that I will not have a drop of alcohol 72 hours leading into going on the stage. That's something that will definitely affect your voice. It's my rule with playing this vocally demanding part."
What do you do for fun while on tour?
"The company is a family. I'm fortunate enough to have my wife on the road with me and I and spend a lot of time with her and our dog but, the majority of people don't have that. So, the people you travel with become your road family. There are times we coordinate things like jam sessions and take 2-3 hours to just release some artistic energy by doing new material. There's always something going on during the week. For example, when we were in Chicago, we played the cast of Book of Mormon in WhirlyBall. There's a lot of silly stuff like that going on. And of course, we are in these wonderful cities that we want to explore. We go sightseeing, visit museums and hang out but, we also take care of ourselves. A lot of nights I rest, watch the Washington Redskins or work on the piece I am currently writing."

Naperville's Wheatland Bank staggers under loans gone sour
Steve Daniels
(Crain's) -- Wheatland Bank in Naperville, which grew very rapidly following its start in 2007, is already the subject of a regulatory order.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., along with the Illinois Division of Banks, last month issued a consent order requiring the bank to overhaul its management, raise capital, boost loan-loss reserves, adhere to strict growth limits and improve its lending practices.
Wheatland Bank, formed by a group led by local commercial real estate banker Michael Sykes just before the real estate bubble burst, grew to nearly $500 million in assets in two years. Much of the growth came in construction loans to developers, which unsurprisingly now are souring at a rapid rate.
Assets more than doubled in 2008 -- when most banks were reducing real estate loans in response to growing foreclosures -- to $484 million from $213 million at the end of 2007.
As of Sept. 30 last year, Wheatland registered $129 million in loans at least 90 days past due. That amounted to a staggering 31% of its $421-million loan portfolio. Of its $134 million in construction loans, $59 million worth, or 44%, were at least 90 days behind.
Mr. Sykes was Wheatland's president and CEO until June, according to his profile on the LinkedIn social networking Web site. David Larson, the bank's current CEO, wasn't immediately available for comment Tuesday.
The consent order, issued Dec. 18 but made public Monday, requires the bank to employ "a president and chief executive officer with proven ability in managing a bank of comparable size and experience in upgrading a low-quality loan portfolio." It's unclear whether Mr. Larson, the new CEO, was hired to comply with that requirement.
The order also requires Wheatland to add at least $7 million to its loan-loss reserve. As of Sept. 30, the bank had set aside $12 million in reserves for losses against a portfolio with nearly $130 million in non-performing loans.
And the bank is ordered to lift its capital levels considerably above the usual threshold to be deemed "well-capitalized" by regulators.

Q: How to Create CKReference using CloudKit Web Services? I've using CK Web services very successfully, but I am stumped about how to create a CKReference.
I've looked at the docs here re Reference Dictionaries, but can't make such a dictionary work.
My php generates the following operations dictionary:
{"operations":[
{"operationType": "create",
"record": { "recordType": "Works",
     "fields": {
          "type":{"value":"Painting"},
          "title": {"value":"test"},
          "date": {"value":"10/29/1965"},
          "height": {"value":"21"},
          "length": {"value":"21"},
          "width": {"value":"21"},
          "runningTime": {"value":""},
          "materials": {"value":"test"},
          "description":{"value":"test"},
          "saleStatus": {"value":"yes"},
          "tos":{"value":"yes"},
          "artist": {"value":"Peter Wiley"},
          "artistRecordName":{"value":"286CB3BF-69CC-4DD3-9233-CC80E5FA95D4"},
          "artistRecordRef": {
               "recordName": {"value":"286CB3BF-69CC-4DD3-9233-CC80E5FA95D4"},
               "zoneID":{"zoneName": {"value":"_defaultZone"}},
               "action": {"value":"NONE"}
          },
          "subject":{"value":""},
          "metaType":{"value":"Fine Art"},
          "userRecordName":{"value":"30C54AD8-3701-428C-99B7-0393DD2DAB45"},
          "userRole":{"value":"Artist"},
          "status":{"value":"P"}
     }
} }
]}

This request returns the error:

BAD_REQUEST" [1]=> string(62) "BadRequestException: Unexpected input
  at [line: 26, column: 3]

If I remove the  "artistRecordRef" the request works as it should.
I am sure the answer is obvious to a more experienced eye. Can someone see what's wrong?

A: OK, I found the answer here, but have posted for others who may have the question because the answer was not easy to find.
This is what works:
"artistRecordRef": {"value": {
                "recordName": "'.$artistRecordName.'",
                "action": "NONE"
            }
        },

The Reference Dictionary has to be passed as a value. I didn't get this and it's not well documented with examples in the Apple docs (at least in those I was able to find).
See: How can I use CloudKit web services to query based on a reference field?


Seems like a very unhealthy trend.
Can we change it? should we bother?
You've gotta' be smarter than that, right? True story. A (lifelong) friend worked for a major battery mfr many years ago in Memphis. Competing Battery Mfr's had all moved to Mexico due to intrusive US environmental regulations making it too difficult and thus too expensive to build them in the US. My friend's battery manufacturing employer was concerned enough they had a big meeting trying to assure the employees their jobs were secure and they would not move operations to Mexico where there were little or no regulations and labor was cheap.
About 1 1/2 years later, they lost "3 big accounts" to the Mexican built battery manufacturers. So they "had to move to Mexico" to stay in business. I don't recall but think they finally were bought out or went out of business completely because they fought to stay in the US too long.
My question(s) to you Naples. Do you think the pollution levels from battery manufacturing are worse or better today since they were moved out of the US?? Was it better to put such intense regulations in place in the US that batteries could no longer be manufactured here?
And on that chart, if it was to scale you wouldn't be able to read the letters nor discern the movement. In other words, you're showing a 112 years compared to 10's of thousands of years? Can you adjust it accordingly?
Humans are like a virus. Eventually we're going to kill our host.
this is going to rank right up there with Etec vs 4 stroke and Yellowfin (copying) Contender.
"Everything counts in large amounts."
We just don't know how much it counts.
Can't believe somebody so concerned about the environment photographs and glorifies the go fast offshore lifestyle. Maybe your just feeling guilty for scaring all those manatees.
Could not agree more with that statement. Down right sickening to say the least.
Stick to stalking women in bikinis.
Talk to China...and India...and Pakistan...and Bangladesh...and get back to us.
So it looks like we need to crank up the CO2 production so we can get dinosaurs back!
(just mixing up cause and effect like most are doing with this argument...).
So screw it, let the mfg pollute away without any regs?
I don't know what the best answer is but I think there can be some middle ground. Maybe we could protect our US mfgs who do the right thing by slapping tariffs on imports from the really egregious polluters? Just letting mfgs do whatever they want in the name of competition doesn't sound right to me. Either that or we all end up walking around in a soup of poison and we start having kids with three eyes.
You really think manufacturers are able to do whatever they want right now?
What does it matter what my interests are?
I'm just one person, like you.
I drive a 12yr old V8. It's the only internal combustion engine I own right now.
Although I've owned as many as 8 cars, but not recently.
I've been a motorhead my whole life.
Imagine that, if you can.
