Christianity in Late Antiquity presents outstanding new scholarship on late-ancient Christianity in its various cultural contexts. The series represents the full range of approaches to early Christianity practiced by scholars in North America and internationally, combining the best of theological analysis and institutional history with newer approaches in social history, material culture, liturgical studies, and gender studies. Its geographical and linguistic purview includes the Mediterranean world, North Africa, Northern Europe, Arabia, and the Levant.
As the North American Patristics Society convenes this week in Chicago, we asked editor Christopher Beeley to discuss the series, his own research, and how these titles will contribute to the field of early Christian studies.
What inspired you to develop the Christianity in Late Antiquity series?
Several years ago I noticed that something important was missing. The field of early Christian studies was growing in very creative ways in North America, both numerically and in terms of new perspectives, but there was no standard, general series at an American press that one would immediately think of. So I proposed to the North American Patristics Society—our main academic association—that we recreate the Society's official book series, which once played a vital role, to reflect the full range of methodological approaches being practiced by North American scholars, and to launch a new initiative with a major American university press. That led to the conversion of the Patristic Monograph Series to the new Christianity in Late Antiquity (CLA) series with the University of California Press. There was much energy among the senior membership of NAPS as well as younger scholars, and we have since seen a great deal of interest in the series.
My favorite thing about the early Christian studies scene in North America is that, while we certainly have our squabbles and debates, people of different and often overlapping methodological approaches work alongside one another in what are usually creative and mutually-beneficial ways. This has not always been the case in other academic associations, regrettably. The interdisciplinarity of NAPS and the conversation we enjoy is an incredible asset, and the new series reflects that. As the series editor I work with authors with very different interests.
I have studied and taught early Christianity for over twenty years, and I am interested in numerous aspects of the period. Thus far I have concentrated on the development of early Christian theology, spirituality, and biblical interpretation, and I pay close attention to the construction of authority by theologians and church councils, the way early Christian writers position themselves rhetorically, and their nearly constant concern for practical matters of individual and social ethics. I have learned a great deal from my colleagues working in similar and different areas, and I am glad to have received their responses to my work as well.
What sets the titles in Christianity in Late Antiquity apart from other books in the field?
What distinguishes CLA from the other outlets is the broad and integrative quality of the work it represents. We don't simply publish works that represent a wide range of perspectives individually, but we aim to present books that integrate them in new and creative ways. The first two volumes do this in spades.
Yonatan Moss' Incorruptible Bodies examines the sixth-century debate over the nature of Christ's human body—in particular, whether is was incorruptible prior to the resurrection or not—but it does so by examining how that question gets played out in the social and political configurations surrounding the major players. There are both old-school historical dividends and new-school theoretical perspectives involved. Moss shows not only that Bishop Severus of Antioch, the great patriarch of the non-Chalcedonian church in Syria, preferred to remain in alliance with the emerging Byzantine empire, despite his opposition to the fractious Council of Chalcedon—a fact that has eluded previous scholars—but Moss also sheds light on how the ecclesial bodies of the rival communities around Severus show different social dynamics in relation to their stance on Christ's body. It's fascinating.
Andrew Jacobs' brilliant new study of the fourth-century bishop and heresy-hunter Epiphanius of Cyprus likewise gives us new details of Epiphanius' life and works along with a very contemporary new perspective on the phenomenon of his wide influence. By attending to ecclesiastical power structures and making use of modern celebrity studies, Jacobs accounts for Epiphanius' amazing success at network-building while also giving serious attention to his biblical interpretation and dogmatic theology. The result is a whole new picture of an important early Christian bishop who is typically overlooked as a person in preference for the otherwise lost sources by other authors that he transmits.
Our third volume, Melania, a collection of studies of the influential aristocratic ascetics Melania the Elder and Melania the Younger and their family and friends, opens new doors in the study of late-ancient Christian spirituality and social history. And we have several new books currently in production of equal promise: on early Christian Syriac poetry, fourth-century Greek ascetical theology, early Christian historiography, and Latin inscriptions.
How do you see the series influencing scholarship in your field?
I expect CLA is going to influence the field of early Christian studies—in North America and internationally—by presenting the sort of pioneering integrative scholarship that North American scholars have come to be known for. While we continue to practice the more traditional modes of study, such as historical theology and institutional history, we bring to these subjects new questions and new forms of inquiry that will yield insight in multiple directions. As the largest society among our international peers, the North American Patristics Society and our associates are poised to give new shape to the field of early Christian studies, and to make important contributions in several others fields as well, from late-ancient history to systematic theology to cultural studies.

It's an all too common story: Around the middle of senior year of college, students become overcome with a sudden, acute dread that the "real world" is imminent. Despite a hazy enthusiasm for post-college life, many are blanketed with fear—especially those students who took out student loans and are now expected to pay them back. They feel an intense pressure to get a job, and fast.
As the public continues to question the value of college, post-graduate outcomes remain top of mind for students, parents, and administrators. However, this issue proves tricky to understand (and manage) for several reasons. First, there's no uniform definition of a positive post-college outcome. For some it's just a job, for others it's a job that requires a bachelor's degree or a position related to a students' field of study. Second, there's limited research on factors that are positively correlated with success after college.
At the request of many Student Success Collaborative members, EAB spent a year researching which activities, experiences, and decisions increase graduates' chances of gainful employment. We surveyed 6,000+ alumni from five member colleges and universities—mostly large public schools—to better understand student outcomes.
Since "post-graduate outcomes" doesn't have a commonly accepted definition, our data scientists partnered with the five schools to develop an agreed upon definition, which we're calling EAB's Gainful Employment Score.
Unfortunately, most students are not beginning their search at the right time. We found that 16% of students began their search a year out, while 34% began at the 6-12 month mark.
It makes sense that students who secure internships are more likely to be employed after college. But how important is it? Our research found this to be the second-most important factor contributing to a high Gainful Employment Score. Specifically, students who had a paid internship during college were 14% more likely to get a good job after graduation.
However, only 32% of students surveyed fell in this category.
Similarly, students who attended an on-campus recruiting event with a prospective employer were 13% more likely to get a good job, but only 29% of students did so.
We know that part of the issue is about education and awareness: In many cases, students don't know what they don't know. Schools that integrate their career preparation and advising efforts are better able to inform students about the importance of certain activities, like finding an internship or starting to search for jobs early.
One area our research partners pushed us to analyze was the relationship between co-curricular participation and post-graduation outcomes. Does it matter what leadership activities and extracurricular programs a student is involved in? If so, which ones? How much does it matter?
Due to variation in data collection methods, activity types across schools, and student interests and majors, it was more challenging to isolate cohort-wide insights. Despite this variability, co-curricular experiences generally led to an increase of 5-15% in a student's Gainful Employment Score. Co-curricular experiences that often inflected the score included things like participation in an academic student organization or Greek life.
Across our study, participation in some co-curricular experience was the third-most impactful factor contributing to students who had high Gainful Employment Scores.
While our early research cohort participants found these insights helpful, what they truly clamored for was a clear understanding of how to apply the insights to facilitate better post-graduate outcomes for their students.
Luckily, EAB has studied this at length, and we have detailed actionable steps you can take. For example, we've illustrated 10 ways students can enhance the marketability of their college experiences and our best practice research study shows how to integrate academic and career advising. But like most major changes, lasting transformation is most likely to happen when people, processes, and technologies are all aligned to the same goals. For that reason, we are exploring ways to embed capabilities that reflect what we learned in our outcomes research into our student success management system, so schools can deliver a return on education—a great academic experience, meaningful jobs, and lifelong learning and success.

7 Stocks Raising Dividends and Expectations
Gregg S. Fisher noted in a 2009 Forbes article that the assumption that investors are rational agents is bunk. He went on to say "We are not rational. We're human. Even the most brilliant investor can be swayed by emotions into making irrational decisions that result in financial loss." Logic has very little to do with short-term movements in stock prices. Knowing this, there are some things that long-term buy-and-hold investors can do to profit from these irrational moves in the market, such as following a disciplined approach of acquiring stocks that routinely increase their dividends.
Below are several companies that are helping build shareholder wealth through higher their cash dividends:
Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (WBA) operates as a pharmacy-led health and wellbeing company. Recently the company increased its quarterly dividend 10% to $0.44 per share. The dividend is payable September 12, 2018 to stockholders of record on August 20, 2018, with an ex-dividend date of August 17, 2018. The yield based on the new payout is 2.7%.
The Kroger Co. (KR) operates as a retailer in the United States. Recently the company increased its quarterly dividend 12% to $0.14 per share. The dividend is payable September 1, 2018 to stockholders of record on August 15, 2018, with an ex-dividend date of August 14, 2018. The yield based on the new payout is 2.0%.
Ralph Lauren Corporation (RL) designs, markets, and distributes lifestyle products in North America, Europe, Asia, and internationally. Recently the company increased its quarterly dividend 25% to $0.625 per share. The dividend is payable July 13, 2018 to stockholders of record on June 29, 2018, with an ex-dividend date of June 28, 2018. The yield based on the new payout is 2.0%.
Raymond James Financial, Inc. (RJF), a financial holding company, through its subsidiaries, engages in the underwriting, distribution, trading, and brokerage of equity and debt securities, and the sale of mutual funds and other investment products in the United States, Canada, Europe, and internationally. Recently the company increased its quarterly dividend 20% to $0.30 per share. The dividend is payable July 16, 2018 to stockholders of record on July 2, 2018, with an ex-dividend date of June 29, 2018. The yield based on the new payout is 1.3%.
Lindsay Corporation (LNN) provides water management and road infrastructure products and services in the United States and internationally. Recently the company increased its quarterly dividend x% to $0.xx per share. The dividend is payable August 31, 2018 to stockholders of record on August 17, 2018, with an ex-dividend date of August 16, 2018. The yield based on the new payout is 1.2%.
Worthington Industries, Inc. (WOR), a metals manufacturing company, focuses on value-added steel processing and manufactured metal products in the United States, Austria, Canada, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, and Turkey. Recently the company increased its quarterly dividend 9.5% to $0.23 per share. The dividend is payable September 28, 2018 to stockholders of record on September 14, 2018, with an ex-dividend date of September 13, 2018. The yield based on the new payout is 2.0%.
Matson, Inc. (MATX) provides ocean transportation and logistics services. Recently the company increased its quarterly dividend 5% to $0.21 per share. The dividend is payable September 6, 2018 to stockholders of record on August 2, 2018, with an ex-dividend date of August 1, 2018. The yield based on the new payout is 2.2%.

Here in New England the temperature of late has become blistering, by Northeast standards, and on the heels of the mild weather soon comes bikini season. Many of us have hidden in sweaters and boots during the winter months, forgetting what will be bared during warm days. It is important to have healthy-looking and glowing skin, whether or not spring or summer includes a backyard pool or getaway plans that involve a two-piece swimsuit.
There is a simple solution: a raw food diet. Not only does eating raw have anti-aging benefits, it also helps get rid of stretch marks, and the dishes are low in calories, while still being filling.
On the last leg of her nationwide book tour, author and licensed holistic esthetician Stephanie Tourles made a stop in New York City. I was also along for the ride, promoting her recent book Raw Energy. While there, we had a chance to explore many of the delicious and healthy recipes in her snack recipe book and to stop by the celebrated raw food restaurant, Pure Food & Wine.
While Stephanie is not 100 percent raw, her tips and tricks for staying healthy and looking young couldn't have come at a better time. Inside Raw Energy there are plenty of snack and beverage recipes to get you going with necessary, healthy foods. This spring, instead of coffee or tea, start your mornings off with a Morning Power Shot; this hot, soothing drink, with one whole lemon, hot water, cayenne pepper, and one tablespoon of raw honey, will get balmy days off to an energetic start.
Tahitian Mango Ginger Soup can be found in Raw Energy. This is also the one time soups will be refreshing on summer days. Turn to several of the raw-fruit soup recipes in Raw Energy. All are refreshing snacks that are light and low in calories.
Olives make a great raw appetizer.
To keep up with the diet, for dinner, if you find yourself in New York City, stop by Pure Food & Wine on 17th and Irving, where Executive Chef Sarma Melngailis dishes up organic, vegan, and raw dishes, prepared to perfection; even the tap water is purified through a high-end filtration system. Stephanie and I were able to partake in tasting some of the delicious appetizers on the menu, including House Cured Olives with Fennel and Orange, King Oyster Mushroom Scallops with Hijiki Seaweed, chive crème fraiche, wilted watercress with black garlic, and tomato broth.
Fancier palates will appreciate raw scallops.
Still can't stand the heat? Take another glance at Raw Energy for the Watermelon Cooler recipe. It acts as a very refreshing, low-calorie energizer; it's filling, too, and easy to make: just put everything in the blender.

HomeChild WelfareBipartisan Bill in House Would Eliminate Foster Care Income Test, Ease Move Toward Family First Act
Bipartisan Bill in House Would Eliminate Foster Care Income Test, Ease Move Toward Family First Act
May 10, 2019 John Kelly Child Welfare, Family, Finance Reform, Foster Care, Politics, Subscriber Content, Youth Services Insider Comments Off on Bipartisan Bill in House Would Eliminate Foster Care Income Test, Ease Move Toward Family First Act

A renewed effort to amend federal foster care funding rules, and nudge states toward a recently passed reform package, has gained its first Republican endorsement.
A bipartisan group in the House of Representatives will put forth a bill that would eliminate the link between federal foster care payments and an income eligibility test from the mid-1990s, and seek to ease the transition into the Family First Prevention Services Act for states.
"Far too often, Congress passes landmark legislation without supplemental funding to ensure effective implementation," said bill co-author Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.), co-author of the Family First Transition and Support Act of 2019 and co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on Foster Youth, in a statement issued today. "Without this piece of legislation that we introduced today, the benefits expected from the bipartisan Family First Prevention Services Act will either not be fully realized or not realized in a timely way. There are too many families and children who are relying on us to get this right."
The bill pairs with one introduced earlier in April by Sens. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), both members of the powerful Senate Finance Committee. The House version includes this effort's first Republican co-sponsor: Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), whose home state is among the dozen or so most likely to implement the law on time in October.
"One of my priorities after the [Family First Act] was signed into law, was to ensure proper implementation of the provisions in the bill," said Bacon, who is also a co-chair on the foster youth caucus, in the statement. "This includes a smooth transition for providers and state agencies, and fixes to any unintended consequences due to the roll-out."
The Family First Act was passed in February of 2018, and will enable states to use the Title IV-E entitlement – previously reserved for foster care and adoption support – to fund services aimed at working with parents without the need for a family separation. Those services must be evidence-based and apply to three areas: parenting, substance abuse treatment and mental health interventions.
At the same time, the law restricts federal funds for the placement of foster youth in group homes and other "congregate care" options. States will only be able to draw funds for such placements for two weeks, with exceptions for programs that serve some niche populations and for accredited providers using trauma-informed, clinical models. Even in those cases, a judge will need to periodically approve the need for continued use of a congregate care facility.
States have the option to delay on the congregate care limitations until October 2021, but cannot use IV-E for the foster care prevention services until the delay ends.
Final legislative text was not available at press time for the House bill, but Bass spokesperson Zach Seidl told The Chronicle of Social Change it would be identical to the Senate's version. You can click here for The Chronicle's analysis of the Stabenow-Brown bill. Among the provisions in both:
A temporary boost in family preservation funding, and new allowable uses including assistance with housing, transportation or financial support to relatives temporarily caring for kids while the Family First Act prevention services are administered.
Eased restrictions on which evidence-based programs can be funded using the Family First Act funds.
A short-term federal program to help fund foster home recruitment and the licensing and accreditation of qualified residential treatment programs and therapeutic foster homes.
Both bills propose to end the connection between Title IV-E foster care payments and the poverty standard in Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), the federal welfare program that in 1996 was replaced with the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families block grant. IV-E foster care payments are only provided to states if the family the child is removed from meets the poverty standard in AFDC.
Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) is the first Republican to join legislation aimed at easing state transition to the Family First Prevention Services Act. "One of my priorities after the [Family First Act] was signed into law, was to ensure proper implementation of the provisions in the bill," Bacon said. Photo courtesy of Bacon's office.
The presence of an income threshold on foster care support has long been derided by child welfare advocates, and more than a dozen attempts have been made to repeal or replace it. An identical income test on federal funds for adoption subsidies is being gradually phased out; the new Family First Act services to prevent foster care have no income requirement.
Dropping the IV-E income test without any form of cost neutralizing change would significantly increase federal spending on foster care placements. In part, due to the income eligibility standards, many states only receive federal IV-E funding for less than 25 percent of kids in foster care.
In 2013, the Government Accountability Office provided the Senate Finance Committee with a review of 14 different attempts to repeal or replace the IV-E income eligibility scheme. Click here to read those ideas.
Bass and Bacon were joined on the bill by Reps. Brenda Lawrence (D-Mich.), Jim Langevin (D-R.I.) and Deb Haaland (D-N.M.). Lawrence and Langevin are also co-chairs of the foster youth caucus.

Standard controllers have been out forever. Lets switch up the idea of standard with some unique control types.
We all came from a gaming background, so it only made sense to expand on what we know, and create something we had not seen!
Allows you to play 3 set minigames without using any normal controls such as a mouse and keyboard, an xbox controller, a flight stick, a drum pad, or even an off the shelf steering wheel!
Lots of hot glue and determination! But also an arduino, a makey-makey, an Oculus Rift, and a magnetic card reader!
Arduino communication into Unity can be difficult sometimes, errors will really tear you down, and finding a printer on Campus at 12am is hard.
Using a magnetic card to sign into a game is truly a great thing to create! No mouse input necessary! Also, using an arduino was something we thought we would struggle with!
A lot of Photoshop was learned from this project! Also, VR is really something else when paired with other sensors and hardware!
Hopefully we can find some really crazy controls to use in the future!
I mostly worked on the Midi Controller and the card swiping. When a specific card is swiped it launches you in VR and plays that mini game. While each midi button is pressed it changes color.

Ben Hellicker, aged 20, of Green Close, Exmouth, admitted possession of cannabis with intent to supply, and offering to supply cocaine, and was jailed for two years and five months by Recorder Mr Jonathan Barnes.
A boasting drug dealer from Exmouth has been jailed after he bragged to friends that he was selling half a kilogram of cannabis a week.
Ben Hellicker, from Withycombe Raleigh, was caught with £1,150 cash and notes on his mobile phone showed he was owed around £2,000 by 12 regular customers.
He was jailed at Exeter Crown Court after a police drug's expert spent three hours in the witness box translating street slang in 30 pages of texts.
Drugs liaison officer Louise Weston identified texts with referred to crack and flake, meaning cocaine, and bud, weed, stink, afghan kush, and green, all relating to cannabis.
Hellicker claimed he was only dealing on a small scale to friends in Exmouth, but the texts showed he had a sizeable cannabis business and had just started selling much smaller quantities of cocaine when he was arrested in February.
A judge had to decide Hellicker's place in the chain of command at a fast finding hearing because the prosecution rejected his assertions about being a minor player.
Hellicker, aged 20, of Green Close, Exmouth, admitted possession of cannabis with intent to supply, and offering to supply cocaine, and was jailed for two years and five months by Recorder Mr Jonathan Barnes.
He told Hellicker: "You started dealing to feed your own habit but it is quite clear that over two or three months you were supplying cannabis on a moderately commercial scale. I suspect it may have been a rather larger enterprise, but I sentence you on the basis it was comparatively small.
Mr Greg Richardson, prosecuting, said police raided Hellicker's home on February 17 this year and seized 37.7 grams of cannabis worth £377, snap bags, and £1,150 cash.
Miss Felicity Payne, defending, said Hellicker was dealing to support his own very heavy cannabis habit and was not making any profit because all the money went back to his supplier.
She said his cocaine dealing was on a very small scale compared to the cannabis. He was buying cocaine on behalf of friends who were sharing the costs.

I guess its about time to post a new update. For all of you waiting on your toes for this, sorry it took so long.
As I've stated before, I was having some trouble with RH, mainly, because I'm terrible with databases. Anyways, A few days ago I was contacted by a fan who is a seasoned web developer / programmer who was interested in helping out. Some time goes by, and we're pretty sure we'll get RH up and running soon.
One of my pitfalls with RH was that without knowing if I would be able to do all the features I promised, I couldn't design the layout or flow of the program, because I simply didn't know how it was going to work. Now I do. Our other developer (who is only anonymous because I haven't asked him what he wishes his display name to be) and I are playing our strengths. I'm designing the flow and layout of the program, he'll be providing the server, database, and data bound linking.
As it stands, I'll be working on the design for a while before he even gets to look at it, and I can't make any promises how long it will take. Unlike when I started this program with a lot of free time, I'm now working two jobs. I'm pushing RH for the longevity of this and other retexture projects.
I'll be updating the Retexture Helper page as I work on the design, but don't expect any updates for a few days, I'm constantly adjusting it. The closer I get to completion, the less the overall design will change, and the more I'll post.
That's what I'm up to, and expect to see updates soon.


New Delhi: State-owned Indian Oil Corp (IOC) may raise about $3 billion more through US dollar bonds issue after the Reserve Bank permitted fuel retailers to raise an overseas loan to check fall in rupee value, its Chairman Sanjiv Singh said Wednesday.
IOC is already in market to raise $900 million through a bonds issue and is raising an equivalent sum through a syndicated loan for meeting its working capital requirements.
"Yes, we will certainly look at raising more overseas loans within the limit set up by RBI," he told reporters here.
RBI had in October last year relaxed external commercial borrowing (ECB) policy for IOC, Hindustan Petroleum Corp Ltd (HPCL) and Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd (BPCL) to allow them to raise $10 billion in overseas loans for working capital needs. It had lifted the individual borrowing limit for the three firms which was set at $750 million.
"The three OMCs (oil marketing companies) were allowed to raise $10 billion and we reckon our share of that would be around $5 billion," he said. "We will certainly look at opportunities to raise overseas funds."
He, however, said no timelines have been set for raising of additional loans.
Singh said since India imports over 80 per cent of its crude oil and pays most of it in US dollars, an overseas loan in the American currency acts as a natural hedge during currency fluctuations.
Economic Affairs Secretary Subhash Chandra Garg had in October stated that the RBI relaxation would help the oil companies raise as much as $10 billion for maturity periods of three to five years.
The RBI move had followed rupee losing 13 per cent to the dollar during the year and allowing oil companies - who are the biggest buyers of US dollars - to raise overseas loans that would ease pressure on the currency.
IOC in a regulatory filing on Tuesday said it has launched an international bonds issue of $900 million, carrying a coupon of 4.75 per cent.
"The Notes carry a coupon of 4.75 per cent per annum payable semi-annually. The Notes will mature in 2024 and all the principal and interest payments will be made in US dollars," it had said.
Bookrunners for the issue are Citigroup, DBS Bank, SBICAP Securities, Standard Chartered Bank, and Westpac Banking.
Besides running a huge working capital requirement, IOC is buying back shares and is paying an interim dividend for 2018-19, aggregating to Rs 11,000 crore.
The board of IOC last month approved buyback of up to 29.76 crore shares, or 3.06 per cent of share capital, at Rs 149 per share aggregating to Rs 4,435 crore. It also approved payment of Rs 6,556 crore as interim dividend to shareholders.
Its expected capex of Rs 23,000 crore in 2018-19 and Rs 27,500 crore in 2019-20 will result in continued negative free cash flow.
The government is pushing cash-rich PSUs to pay higher dividends and buy back shares using their reserves so as to help meet its budget deficit target.
The government, which holds 54.06 per cent stake in IOC, is expected to participate in the share buyback.

Examining Methods to Determine Sample Sizes
Posted in Legal, Clinical & Regulatory | December 05, 2017 | Comments (0)

By: Deborah Munro
Reader Question: Larger companies have statisticians on staff to determine the minimum number of samples for given validation and verification (V&V) activities, but for folks who don't use Minitab and don't have an extensive stats background, are there guidelines to know the right amount of parts to test?
Years ago, 30 parts was the golden number for V&V activities, but that seems to have become unacceptable in the past few years. Can we base sample sizing on average lot size, or are there easy process capability equations we can use to cut the waste we produce to validate a process and verify parts?
In the end, we want to have confidence in our V&V activities, but taking the conservative route on sample sizes for these activities can be quite burdensome. Our conservative approach is to test a large sample size based on a T-test or batches of 60 if we're verifying an attribute.
Special Section:
Form a Well-Conceived
Testing Plan
For years, device companies used the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) and its rule of thumb of 30 parts tested. Increasing tolerances and regulatory oversight are two reasons that CLT is no longer relative. For example, FDA now seeks a more analytical approach—justification—for choosing sample size.
However, calculating an appropriate minimum sample size is one of the most difficult things to do and is an ongoing challenge for many of us. To complicate things further, a large number of journal articles are devoted to this subject, and their advice is often case-specific or discusses a new and unique way to determine a sample size, leaving us more confused than ever. I am not a statistician, and after reading a dozen or more articles, I've come to the conclusion that "everything depends on everything" when it comes to statistics. There are no simple answers.
That said, a couple of basic approaches should work in most situations. If your lot sizes are relatively large, as in on the order of 1,000 units per lot, and you have some history with the product so that you can define some acceptance parameters, then you can use either the acceptance sampling approach or the six sigma acceptable error approach to determine a sample size using statistics. I've discussed both approaches below.
Acceptance Sampling Approach
One way to determine sample size is to look at lot quality assurance. Acceptance sampling is based upon the probability that finding a defective part will occur less than or equal to a predetermined critical value for defects. For this method, the sample size, n, and critical value (number of defects found), d, depend upon parameters you establish for:
N—lot size
Pυ—upper threshold beyond which an intervention is deemed necessary (probability)
PL—lower threshold beyond which an intervention is deemed unnecessary (probability)
α—Type I error of concluding lot is acceptable when it is not, where α is set to as low a value as is deemed reasonable by the experimenter, often called a false negative
β—Type II error of concluding lot is unacceptable when it is fine, often called a false positive
Thus, (1-α) is called the sensitivity of the test to detect defective product and (1-β) is called the selectivity of the test in your decision making parameters. Obviously, a false negative is more dangerous than a false positive, but the more confidence you require in your inspection or test, the higher the rate of false positives you will have and the more samples you will need to inspect.require in your inspection or test, the higher the rate of false positives you will have and the more samples you will need to inspect.
Much of the literature for this approach discusses the operating curve (OC), which is a tool for determining sampling size based on the parameters defined above. You can find these curves from many sources. For each combination of n and d, the resulting OC curve (sometimes called a candidate sampling plan), provides the following information:
The horizontal access is the proportion of product that is defective and ranges from 0 to 1.
The vertical access is the probability of making a Type I false negative error for that candidate sampling plan. These values also range from 0 to 1.
The slope of the OC curve tells us how the probability of making a Type I error changes as we vary our value of Pυ. The steeper the slope, the higher the power; however, the OC curve must also have a high sensitivity to α and must include data points up to the value of (1-α) in order to detect a Type I error.
A final consideration is statistical power. The power of a test is given by (1-β)*100%, with 80% being a standard value; however, a trade-off exists between a feasible sample size and adequate statistical power. Statistical power (think of in terms of sensitivity) is the probability that your statistical test will indicate a significant difference when there truly is one. This is frequently performed with α = 0.05.
As an example, let's assume our goal is to calculate appropriate values of n and d that limit the chance of making a Type I error for a specified choice of α. You can find countless tables that will provide the resulting values of n and d based upon desired input values of α, β, Pυ, and PL. If you only consider α = 0.05 with d = 0 defects, for a lot size of 1,000, you will need 49 samples, according to one table I found. If you need to consider Type II, false positive errors as well, then you must include β and PL. For example, from one article I looked at, for α = 0.05, β = 0.20, Pυ = 0.05, and PL = 0.005, you would need n = 87 samples to get d = 0 defects for a lot size that is "large" (which I assumed to mean at least 1,000).
Six Sigma Error Approach
For this approach, in order to determine your sample size, you first have to measure your process capability. For example, this can be the diameter of a bolt or the tensile strength to failure or any other variable of interest. Whatever it is, you can determine the sample mean, x. This is going to be different than the true (or population) mean, µ, which could only be calculated by measuring every component. The maximum difference between the sample mean and the population mean is called the error, E, and is defined as:
In this formula, Z is the critical value, σ is the population standard deviation you've estimated over time and n is the sample size you're trying to determine.
First, you need to define a critical value, Z. This is based on α, which is the area under the two tails of a normally distributed bell curve, with each tail being α/2. For most studies, α = 0.05, so α/2 = 0.025. Alternatively, you can think of this as a confidence interval of 95%, which is (1-α)*100%. Using the value of 0.025, you can look up Z in a table.
As an example, let's say you want to determine the sample size if the standard deviation over time has been σ = 0.02 inches from the desired perfect length, but you're willing to accept an error of 0.005 inches from that number for any given sample mean. Since we're assuming normal distribution and we know probabilities vary from 0 to 1, the center of your bell curve is 0.5. Thus, you take 0.5 – 0.025 = 0.475 and look up Z = 1.96. Rearranging your equation to solve for n:
Thus, for this one measurement, your sample size should be 62. The formula is very sensitive to E, and this is something that you have to decide based on your experience. Note that it's not necessary to do this calculation for every variable. In fact, you should choose your worst case, most important variables and set the sample size based on them, as all of the other variables will require fewer samples.
These are two possible approaches, although many more exist. Unfortunately, choosing a sample size is a judgment call based on many parameters and decisions you make. For either of the approaches above, I recommend that you vary the parameters to find an optimized solution, seeing how each of your input requirements effect your output quality and confidence levels.

How long can moosemeat be kept in the freezer?
A friend gave me some of her husband's moose meat that he hunted 2 years ago... Is it still safe and healthy to cook and eat???
How long can you keep moose meat frozen and have it acceptable to eat?
Emily, you ask a question we actually get asked quite often, or one similar to it.
Relatively speaking just apply the same rules you would to beef as far as long term storage goes.
The tenderloin pictured above is now one year old and it doesn't look any different to the moose we packaged this week. It will probably taste the same too!
The packages of moose mince are the same. If they have been packaged well and the air has been kept away the meat can easily last two maybe three years. Any more than that I'd pretty much consider giving to your dogs.
They'll love you for it!!
Plastic wrapped meat will keep much better in the freezer than those pieces that were wrapped in just freezer paper. My suggestion is to open it up. Smell it and look carefully at it.
Use your human judgement. Two year old meat won't make you sick or anything like that. However, you do want to enjoy what you eat!
If it doesn't smell right, or has too much freezer burn... discard it.
Have a good look at the T-Bone steak picture. I knew it was old and was only wrapped in freezer paper. Compare it to the tenderloin!
The whitish gray areas are freezer burned, there is considerable frost on the meat. That means oxygen is getting to the meat and drying it out. Thus the term freezer burn.
Quite some difference eh? If you could smell it too, you would know it's not fresh anymore.
Oh my, my dog is going to love me!

Ink Egg Adventure Game – Enter a Magical World Filled with Easter Eggs
April 4, 2012 by Sara Leave a Comment
Toronto, Canada – Challenging players to go on a magical and fun-filled journey, Cut Out Games today introduces Ink Egg Adventure, its new iPhone game featuring Winston, an adventure-seeking rabbit who travels through a colorful world searching for Easter eggs. The casual puzzle game is now available in a free version.
In Ink Egg Adventure, players guide Winston to collect all the eggs in the level before time runs out. Using Winston's magical paintbrush, players draw lines of ink for him to bounce off. These lines guide Winston toward the Easter eggs and away from hazards.
"In Ink Egg Adventure, you and Winston go on a fun and exciting trip through a bright and colorful world," said Katherine Weir, Founder of Cut Out Games. "It's a game that anyone can just pick up and play right away."
Ink Egg Adventure features 20 unique levels, challenging players to collect all of the eggs, just in time for Easter. In the game, players send Winston rolling toward the eggs by touching and dragging him. They can choose any direction and just release to fire. To make Winston go in a particular direction, players can drag their finger anywhere on the screen to draw lines that Winston will bounce off of.
Adding to the challenge, each level has a 60 second time limit where players try to collect all the eggs and avoid sending Winston off the screen or into a hazard.
"Ink Egg Adventure is fast-paced," Katherine Weir said. "The clock is always ticking so you need to think fast and act even faster to complete each puzzle."
The Easter Field has 20 different levels with its own set of hidden challenges that can help Winston on his quest or set him back. If he falls off of the screen, the level will restart and valuable time will be wasted. Players should also be wary of the flowers they find in the field as Winston is allergic to them and will go off in a random direction to get away from them.
Features of the Ink Egg Adventure game include:
* Intuitive gameplay: Guide Winston by aiming him and drawing lines with his magical paintbrush
* Fast-paced puzzles: Beat the 60-second timer by collecting all the eggs for one level
* Dangerous obstacles: Avoid flowers and other challenges on screen that will hinder Winston
Device requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, 3/4G iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 13.4 MB
Ink Egg Adventure 1.0 is currently available worldwide through the App Store in the Games category for free. Review copies are available upon request.

Instructions are with the tutorials, so please ask questions there!
Thank god I've found this, I'm going to make this for my older sister for her birthday. We both love Bravest Warriors, and she's been bugging me for a Catbug plush for months, now. This is the best pattern made for him that I've seen so far.
I am in love with this pattern! Thank you so much for making it available to the public! <3 It's so fun and easy to make!
I made a catbug of my own!
whoa. my aunts bday is coming up and i was gonna buy her a cat bug plush but this is neater.
making for my grandkids. They are so excited! Thanks!!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing this fantastic tutorial!
OH M GLOB YES!!! Thank you!! Ima make a GIANT one for meee!!!
So adorable. I must make one.
Does the pattern include seam allowance?
Patterns almost never do. Unless they specifically state otherwise, always assume you have to measure your own seam allowance.
Thank you so much for this. I have literally just spent HOURS trying to make a pattern for Catbug for my Comic Con cosplay and I can't get it right. This is a lifesaver!
I love Catbug so much; thank you so much for creating this!
I'll definitely be making one and I'll tag you when I'm done ^w^ You made wonderful plushies by the way; you're so talented!
THank you so much! i love your patterns and I'm gonna make this for my friend. he looves catbug!
Just wondering... Are these easy for a medium skilled sewer? How big will he turn out? Should I drop the sugar peas?
1. It should be very easy. The only part that's a bit difficult is how the shell fits to the body, but just do it in stages like the tutorial shows and you should be fine.
2. He ends up about 6 inches tall.
I just finished my Catbug made with this pattern, and I'm REALLY happy with him. Your patterns are absolutely the best, thanks!
Hafta buy some fabric now!
o-o Tutorials too!? Oh snap. Maybe I should see how I am with a needle and thread.

from The Jewish Week:
Young European Jews Asserting Identity, Against The Odds
… I learned that famed old synagogues are not the primary source of native Jewish life in Europe today. Chabad Lubavitch offers an impressive network of religious and social services, but its rabbis and leaders are for the most part imported from America. If you want to find the sparks of homegrown European talent and activity, speak to the more than 200 fellows and alumni of Paideia, now in its 10th year. The institute's main program is a full academic year of interactive study of Jewish texts and courses in leadership development, with the goal of educating and training "the best and brightest" young people "who can lead a true renaissance of European Jewish culture," according to its website.
Among this summer's participants in Project Incubator – which was conducted in English – were two Russian women planning weekend seminars for Jewish learning in various cities; a Belarus activist who hopes to create a combined Jewish study/vocational training program for young men from disadvantaged families; an Italian architect with a vision of turning the famous Venice Jewish Ghetto into a vibrant center for international Jewish life and culture; and a theatrical couple from England whose dream is to see "Soviet Zion," their musical production depicting life in Birobidzhan, the Stalin-designated Yiddish homeland in Siberia, into a Broadway show.
The sophistication and scope of the projects varied, but the incubator program boasts an impressive track record. About two-thirds of past proposals have come to fruition within a year, aided by help from the program's alumni, and funding advice and support from Paideia mentors and a network of funders (including the European Jewish Fund, UJA-Federation of New York and the Pincus Fund for Jewish Education in the Diaspora).

Nobody remembers Sharki's real name, probably something with a lot of K and R, something terrible as any Orc name. But he doesn't want to be called by his birth name anymore, only Sharki cause he deserved it and no one will argue with that. He is probably the most violent crew member, only second to Guruk, and he has a short temper. So short that one day he ended on the plank with the Kaptain himself pushing him in the back. You don't mess with the Kaptain. Sharki entered the water, and was immediately surrounded by real carcarodons, logical ashore Shark island...But after 20 minutes of blood bath, he emerged out of the waters, a tail between his teeth. After that high deed, the Kaptain immediately promoted him, and now Sharki leads the underwater sabotage group who sunk the ships in harbors before attacks.
A great price for a bust, you don't see many at this price range!

Crysis Remastered
Crysis Remastered Trilogy Announced for Fall 2021
All three Crysis games will also be available as standalone purchases.
byAdam Bankhurst
Posted June 1, 2021, 5:31 p.m.
Crytek has announced that remasters of Crysis 1, 2, and 3 will be bundled together as the Crysis Remastered Trilogy and as standalone purchases in Fall 2021.
Crytek shared the details of this new and enhanced collection that is being optimized in partnership with Saber Interactive, revealing that it will be available on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC. All three Crysis games will play "even smoother" on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Crysis Remastered was released in 2020 after a delay due to mixed fan reaction to leaked footage of the game. Many reacted positively to the improved visuals, and it's safe to assume these new remasters will benefit from the troubles of the first.
In addition to a number of visual improvements, the first Crysis also included "high-quality textures up to 8K, HDR support, temporal anti-aliasing, Screen Space Directional Occlusion (SSDO), Global Illumination (SVOGI), state-of-the-art depth fields, new light settings, motion blur, parallax occlusion mapping, Screen Space Reflections and Shadows (SSR & SSS) as well as new and updated particle effects and more." Furthermore, Crysis Remastered featured ray tracing on PCs with Nvidia RTX GPUs, Xbox One X, and PS4 Pro.
In our review of Crysis, we said in 2007 that was "one of, if not the, most stunningly beautiful games we've ever seen. But even beyond that, it's a pretty fantastic shooter."
In our review of Crysis 2, we said that "It plays well, encourages creative problem-solving, and confidently delivers a series of escalating and changing encounters and scenarios that will push you to think in a way few shooters have in an era of increasingly funneled experiences."
In our review of Crysis 3, we said that it is "a highly polished shooter experience that doesn't so much reinvent the FPS wheel as give it a slicker set of tyres."

At a time when technology offers more opportunity than ever to be connected, it's easy to find yourself simply alone. Alone on your screens. Alone with your thoughts, your fears, your burdens, your triumphs, and in your relationship with God. Even at church on a Sunday morning, you can be surrounded by people and feel desperately alone. But it doesn't have to be this way! You have an opportunity to be known by others and to be deeply rooted in Christ-centered community.

The 59th volume of Scandinavian Studies in Law is dedicated to environmental law scholarship from, or relating to, Scandinavia broadly construed, including the whole Nordic region.
Despite a regrettable lack of contributions from Norway the volume provides a reasonably broad and representative view of environmental law research in this region. One may argue that a Scandinavian, or Nordic, perspective on environmental law is made particularly interesting by the fact that the countries of this region have a reputation, and perhaps even more a self-perception, of being champions of environmental concerns and environmentally friendly policies and technologies. Whether this perception tallies with reality in all areas is contestable but the mere idea may have provided a special soil for the development of environmental law and environmental law research.
The region also has a particular legacy in the form of its geographic and personal links to the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment (The Stockholm Conference) and the World Commission on Environment and Development (The Brundtland Commission).
These historic occurrences contributed greatly to pushing environmental issues up national and international agendas. Both also made a strong case for acknowledging the fundamental importance of the environment, including what today is known as ecosystems services, to human society and thus its (direct or indirect) significance for all areas of law and policy.

Chatroulette and the 'Next' big thing
Published on March 25, 2010 August 10, 2012 by The Sputnik
In a tiny corner of the World Wide Web, there is a very special place where you can get strangers to sing to you, dance for you, and yes, even flash you their goods.
Hailed as the "next big thing" on the web, Chatroulette follows in the footsteps of other well-known social networking sites: MySpace, Facebook and Twitter.
The idea is simple: you log onto the site, enable your webcam and proceed have live text and video online chats with randomly chosen strangers. If at any point you're not into your partner, you can "Next" them and be immediately connected with someone new. It's a mind-numbing exercise on how to bruise a person's ego.
Created by 17-year-old Russian, Andrey Ternovskiy, Chatroulette's concept arose from video chats that Ternovskiy used to have with friends on Skype. It took him "two days and two nights" to create the first version and the site was officially launched last November. As of early March, the site currently has around 1.5 million users.
Most of the people on the screen will be men – some fat, some ugly, some surprisingly not bad. Other times, there will be young girls giggling and batting their prepubescent eyelashes at their virtual partners. Chatroulette's demographics are just as random as hitting Next and rolling the dice.
"It's hilarious, but it's dangerous because you can't control what you see," says Bre Carnes, a third-year concurrent education student. "Young girls are on it doing silly and inappropriate things and they're seeing inappropriate things, too. That's really going to get them into trouble."
The pervy desperation of Chatroulette is certainly there, but there's something to be said about the users who look so lonely that you almost feel bad for Nexting them. These are the girls and boys sitting alone in the dark with wistful looks on their faces. To be honest, I'm not sure which is worse – the men who jack off on camera and ask to see a nipple, or these people, who look like they're just waiting for someone to connect with, someone who will listen.
"Sometimes I'll find myself feeling sorry for the people sitting alone in the dark," says Sarah Davidson, a fourth-year McMaster University student who admits she would never use the site by herself. "You can kind of tell that those people actually seriously just want to make a friend."
Whatever the reason behind a person's decision to use the site, Chatroulette still provides an interesting method for reaching out to people.
Celebrities like Jessica Alba, The Jonas Brothers, Ashton Kutcher, and Nicole Richie have also taken to Chatroulette. Their agenda is very clear: try to stay hip and relevant to the site's predominately 18 to 24-year-old demographic. To them, there is no better way to do this than to chat with the common folk about life's most minute details, as if they care. A screenshot is taken and the story about the average Joe who stumbled across a big-time star on the website becomes big news on the web – just like the agents had planned.
But despite its immense popularity right now, I'm not sure Chatroulette has the same long-lasting appeal of its social networking predecessors. Sure, it's fun, but in the long run, it's really just a playground for sketchy creeps and drunk (or stoned) university students.
And aside from all the penis flashes and desperate pleas to "show us your tits!" there really aren't many opportunities to forge real connections with people. It's not like Facebook or Twitter where you can stay in perpetual contact with friends and acquaintances. Your experience with the strangers on Chatroulette is fleeting and ends as soon as someone gets bored or tired and decides to move on.
This whole craze will fade and die, much like the site's individual chat sessions. And when that happens, we'll all move on to the next "next big thing."

President Mauricio Macri and his counterpart in Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, are expected to make a joint statement on Venezuela when they meet in Brasilia on Wednesday.
Foreign Minister Jorge Faurie on Saturday slammed Venezuela President Nicolás Maduro declaring the opposition-controlled National Assembly in Caracas as Venezuela's only "legitimate authority".
"The representatives of the National Assembly were chosen according to the Venezuelan constitution and that entity is the only legitimate authority in the country according to Argentina, the Lima Group and other international organisations", Faurie told FM Millennium.
Maduro began his new term as president on Thursday, amid strong rebukes from several major Latin American countries, as well as the United States and the European Union.
Faurie described Maduro's electoral triumphs in May as a "self election".
Buenos Aires is "attentively following" developments in Venezuela alongside other regional foreign ministers, he said. Argentine diplomats continued in Caracas to provide support to the opposition.
"The situation in Venezuela is prompting instability and an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, with three million citizens from that country seeking refugee status in Latin America. Along with other foreign ministers in the region, we are attentively following the situation. The most important thing is that Venezuelans can regain their democracy", Faurie said.
He said President Macri and Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro would make a "joint statement" on the matter next Wednesday when they meet for bilateral talks in Brasilia.
"Brazil and Argentina will work on several topics, above all the Venezuelan question. We are going to let the relationship [with the Brazilian government] develop in order to achieve greater positive outcomes", he added.

Prosthetics first marks 3D printing milestone
Deakin University researcher Dr Mazher Mohammed has helped to make a dream come true for an Australian woman who lost her left ear in a car crash 55 years ago, when she was only 15.
Ms Colleen Murray is the first person in Australia to receive a new ear through the use of three dimensional (3D) printing – and is delighted with the results.
In a story produced by Channel 7 News, Ms Murray told her doctors: "I was born with two ears and I've wanted two ears and you've done it for me."
Her prosthetic silicon left ear attaches to tiny titanium rods implanted in her skull. It was created by prosthetist Brenton Cadd at the Royal Melbourne Hospital and a Deakin team, who used a medical CT scan of her right ear to produce an accurate model that was printed on Deakin's Connex3 500 3D printer – one of only two such printers in an Australian university.
"This technique has achieved like-for-like, near 100 per cent reproduction of the patient's own anatomy. You just can't ask for better than that," Dr Mohammed said.
"We believed Colleen to be an excellent candidate for the technique we developed and the results speaks for themselves."
[testimonial_text]This project was conducted using school resources as no funding was available to us, but, given the potential benefits to Colleen, it was an easy decision to make. We hope the positive outcome will attract funding to this work so we may develop the technique to become part of routine clinical practise.[/testimonial_text]
[testimonial_picture name="Dr Mazher Mohammed" details=""]
This development is one of a growing number of medical milestones that 3D technology is bringing to the world. Printed prosthetics for arms and legs are becoming increasingly common, bone replacement devices have been created using titanium printing to replace cancerous vertebrae, heels and other bones; and it is expected that complex tissue, muscle, bones and cartilage through 3D bioprinting could be a reality within the next five years.
Over the past 12 months, Dr Mohammed and his team from Deakin's School of Engineering have also worked on various patient-specific medical device solutions using 3D printing technology, ranging across facial reconstruction, bone replacement structures and rehabilitation devices.
Recent examples, working alongside collaborators at the National Institute of Technology, Warangal, India, include the design and production of a titanium jaw implant and the design of a patient-specific dental implant that was recently surgically implanted into a patient's jaw.
Originally from the UK, Dr Mohammed joined the University 18 months ago as a Research Fellow in Advanced Design and is part of a growing interdisciplinary team of Deakin experts in bioengineering and medical device technology. He noted that Deakin is playing a pivotal role in developing 3D technology in Australia.
"Deakin identified the potential for this technology at exactly the right time," he said.
"In the School of Engineering, thanks to the vision of the previous Head of School, Professor Guy Littlefair, and our Interim Head, Professor Ian Gibson, we have invested in a comprehensive suite of world class 3D printers and design technology.
"These have unlocked a wealth of research possibilities at Deakin, ranging across high impact sectors, such as medical, automotive and sports technology, allowing us to construct complex designs and to 3D print these in a wide variety of common engineering materials.
"We can even potentially print living cells with the 3D bioprinter that we purchased last year, which was Victoria's first commercial 3D bioprinter within a research institute."


Flowers For My Father, which features guest shots from Astronautalis, Ceschi and Child Actor, marks Sadistik's first solo long player since The Balancing Act and charts his growth in spades. The spoken word close of intro track "Petrichor" foreshadows the open book to come: "I want nothing more than to tear every piece of my flesh off one by one to show you what's been hiding underneath".
Evolving his style to a more synthesized rendition of a signature cinematic Seattle sound, the new album displays a distinct juxtaposition of Sadistik's complex, vulnerable writing with textured, ambient production handled by the likes of Blue Sky Black Death and Kno of CunninLynguists. The result is his most mature and revealing project to date, with lush soundscapes lifting Sadistik's verses from a vast darkness.
