It was time for me to indulge in some D.E. Stevenson again. After all, it had been a few months! I went to an estate sale about a month ago and discovered the former owner of the house had very similar taste in books to my own. There I found one lone Stevenson book upon the shelf which I snatched up immediately.
As an aside, I've been to a few estate sales recently where from the moment I walked into the house I knew that I was in a friendly place. The dishes were designs that I liked, the books were ones I had read or would want to read and other quirky things that make me both interested in and sad about the sales. In those instances, I didn't feel like I was purchasing things from a stranger, but rather that I've been gifted them by someone who would have been my friend, if that makes any sense at all. I feel like something has been passed down for me and mine to enjoy instead of simply "discarded." Does that make sense? Apparently I just needed to share that thought. Bear with me.
As I was saying, I brought home Still Glides the Stream a few weeks ago but this past week have been down and out with a cold. I find that a D.E. Stevenson book is perfect medicine when sick. Per usual, I was drawn into her story within the first chapter and proceeded to devour and enjoy the entire book in short order. Stevenson makes for such easy reading.
Still Glides the Stream is set in a small town on the Scottish border post-WWII. We meet the main character, Will Hastie, right away, as he is returning to his childhood home and estate after retiring from the Army. He quickly settles back down on the land that he loves, picking up an old friendship with the neighbors straight away. As a young boy, he used to play with a brother and sister duo in the neighboring estate. The brother, Rae, was killed in action during the war but his sister, Patty is still living at home with her parents. Will discovers very little changed about the neighbors except that they are still mourning the loss of their son and brother and that Patty is engaged to be married to a cousin of hers. Add to the story a mysterious letter from Rae to Patty that was mailed before his death and we have ourselves a plot line.
Now, this is a D.E. Stevenson story and so it's all's well that ends well. There's nothing particularly stunning about the read - it's just pleasant! Stevenson is incredibly predictable (this makes her an excellent author to want to read when you aren't feeling so great and/or you just want to relax with a book) but she did throw a moderate surprise at me towards the end which was a pleasant surprise. As I'm typing out the fact that Stevenson is a predictable author, it occurs to me that L.M. Montgomery is the same and I'm starting to wonder at what it is that makes me love both of these female authors so very much. Both are good students of human nature and know how to write out both the thoughts and dialogues between characters in a believable fashion. They both add just a touch of humor to their tales, which I think matches up with real life being a serious business but with a laugh around the corner when you need one. I think I also am drawn to the fact that they tell their stories at a relaxed pace, allowing the reader to just sit back and take in the story. Both authors also love their homeland which is something I find terribly appealing. They take me out-of-doors, so to speak, and I can picture the surrounding in my mind's eye. They both appeal to the beauty which can be found in this world, All of these things contribute towards my like of them. Whatever it is that draws me to them, I like them for it and inevitably close their books with a smile on my face.
If you've not yet read a D.E. Stevenson book, do! Still Glides the Stream is a great one to start with. It's hard to go wrong with Stevenson or Montgomery though so if you need a lazy book for a lazy day, look into one of these authors! They are sure to please.
Yes, I understand how it could be a gift from a friend.
Thanks to you, I've fallen in LOVE with the writing of D.E. Stevenson! I'm just starting Shoulder the Sky, so I'm looking forward to seeing how she ends that particular set of books. Sounds corny, but I really do connect with her characters like no others. Thanks for your encouragement to get in her books!
I totally agree about estate sales, and that reminds me that it's been entirely too long since I've been to any.
I'm so glad you found a good book to draw you in, even during this busy season of life. I enjoyed reading the specifics of what you like in a book.

HANYS Honors Joseph McDonald with Distinguished Service Award
BOLTON LANDING, N.Y.—In recognition of his decades of service to the people of New York State and the healthcare community, the Healthcare Association of New York State (HANYS) honored Joseph D. McDonald, President and Chief Executive Officer, Catholic Health System, with the 2017 Distinguished Service Award. The Award was presented at HANYS' 49th Annual Membership Conference.
"HANYS has immense gratitude for Joe's expertise and energy with which he approaches his work. His healthcare delivery improvement and advocacy efforts have made a real, positive difference in the lives of New Yorkers across the state, not just in Western New York," said HANYS President Bea Grause. "We are honored to present Joe with our Distinguished Service Award."
Mr. McDonald's impact on Catholic Health System and healthcare policy in New York State is far-reaching. Since he joined Catholic Health in 2002, the healthcare system has experienced significant growth in services with the introduction of advanced technology, improvements in quality and safety, and an increase in its charity and community benefit contributions.
Under his leadership, Catholic Health System, based in Buffalo, has been the honoree of national and regional recognition for its devotion to quality and patient safety, has strengthened its physician relations, and has become one of the most financially sustainable health systems in the state.
The recipient of the American Hospital Association's (AHA) 2016 Grassroots Champion Award, Mr. McDonald was recognized for persistent advocacy before the United States Congress and his important work with the New York State Congressional Delegation to advance federal backing for innovative approaches to the delivery of patient-centered care and to protect and enhance Medicare funding for hospitals and health systems to support this innovation.
He has been a long-time member and is a past Chair of the HANYS Board of Trustees.
Mr. McDonald's leadership efforts extend to numerous roles outside of Catholic Health. He is a member of the Canisius College Board of Trustees, the WNED Board of Trustees and Executive Committee, the WNED Foundation Board, and the University of Tennessee-Knoxville Alumni Board of Directors. Joe is the 2017 Chair of the AHA Health Care Systems Governing Council, where he leads conversations on advocacy, policy, and resource development, with a focus on strategic opportunities from a health system's perspective.
He began his administrative career at Nashville Memorial Hospital in Tennessee as assistant administrator and later joined St. Mary's Medical Center in Knoxville, where he served as Senior Vice President. He also served as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Covenant Health/Fort Sanders Alliance in Knoxville.
Throughout his career, Joe has been a leader in putting patients first, in demanding good healthcare policy, and in embracing new, innovative ways to deliver care. His organization's Accountable Care Organization work and his collaboration with other providers—including competitors—are examples of his willingness to try new approaches and break down the barriers to advance the essential mission of providing care.
The HANYS Board of Trustees established the Distinguished Service Award in 1979 to recognize individuals who have demonstrated outstanding personal service in the healthcare field in one or more of the following areas: patient welfare, hospital administration, residential healthcare administration, local and state healthcare, public service, and promotion of legislation to achieve better healthcare.
The Healthcare Association of New York State (HANYS) is the only statewide hospital and continuing care association in New York State, representing 500 non-profit and public hospitals, nursing homes, home care agencies, and other healthcare organizations.

Q: Quaternions question . its given that :
A quaternion is an expression of the form :
q = $a+b$i$+c$j+$d$k
Where $a,b,c,d$ $∈$ ℝ and $i,j,k$ are basic quaternions, satisfying
$i^2$ =$j^2$=$k^2$= $ijk$ = -1
It's weird that $ijk = -1$.  So $(ijk)*(ijk)$ = $(-1)*(-1) = +1$, but also, $(ijk)*(ijk)$ = $i^2*j^2*k^2$ = $(-1)*(-1)*(-1) = -1$.
Is $ijk$ an operation that's not commutative with quaternions and that's why I just contradicted $ijk=-1$?

A:
but also, $(ijk)*(ijk)$ = $i^2*j^2*k^2$ = $(-1)*(-1)*(-1) = -1$

No. This is invalid. Quaternions do not commute in general. You can't just gather the $i$'s to the left, the $j$'s in the middle and the $k$'s to the right.
The point of $ijk=-1$ is to say exactly how $i,j$ and $k$ behave with respect to one another when multiplying. For instance, multiplying by $i$ from the left gives
$$
iijk=-i\\
(i^2)jk=-i\\
-jk=-i\\
jk=i
$$
Instead multiplying with $kj$ from the right gives
$$
ijkkj=-kj\\
ij(k^2)j=-kj\\
-ijj=-kj\\
-i(j^2)=-kj\\
i=-kj\\
kj=-i
$$
(Yes, the factor of $-1$ does commute with any quaternion).
So $jk=-kj(=i)$. Similarly we get $ij=-ji$ and $ik=-ki$. Correctly keeping track of this as we sort the $i$'s to the left and the $k$'s to the right will ultimately lead us to
$$
(ijk)(ijk)=-i^2j^2k^2
$$
Note that all throughout I'm liberally using the fact that quaternions are associative. Which is to say, i can put parentheses wherever I want when doing multiplication. This is valid for the quaternions, but no longer if you take the next step into octonions.

To get around it I started uninstalling the previous versions of everything it was trying to install.  The installer worked after I'd unistalled the Visual Studio tool kit and the Azure SDK.
Fortunately when you rerun the WPI it doesn't try to re-download the files.

A: Try to download the msi without the platform installer to skip the dependencies.

Mapping and monitoring regional patterns of species richness from geographic information

Title Mapping and monitoring regional patterns of species richness from geographic information
Publication Type Thesis
Authors Stoms, DM
Thesis Type phdPh.D. Dissertation
Biological diversity has become a major scientific and pol- itical issue, producing an urgent need for inventory and monitoring programs. Remote sensing provides tools to satisfy part of this need, but there has been no scientific framework for guiding its application in biodiversity as- sessments. A research agenda is proposed to expand our knowledge of the role remote sensing might play in providing improved information on the spatial distribution of species richness and its ecological determinants, and the response of these ecological factors to global change. Many physical and biological factors that are correlated with species richness have been mapped with remote sensing, including landscape geometry, primary productivity, and evapotran- spiration. Additional research is required to apply remote sensing methods to the assessment of biodiversity in the context of earth system science and global change programs. Sensitivity of maps of predicted species richness to spatial scale and habitat map generalization and accuracy were exam- ined by means of a geographic information system (GIS) sen- sitivity analysis. Wildlife-habitat relationships (WHR) models were integrated with a map of habitats to predict species number within uniform grid cells for two distinct ecoregions in Idaho. Patterns of richness varied unpredict- ably with size of the spatial sampling units because of the complex interaction of factors that affect richness. For statewide Gap Analysis, a range of grid sizes between 10- 100,000 ha are recommended for the Rocky Mountain Forest ecoregion and 10-60,000 ha for the Intermountain Sagebrush ecoregion. Contiguous, non-overlapping grids provide ade- quate sampling density. Another GIS sensitivity analysis ascertained the effects of the level of generalization (minimum mapping unit) and accu- racy of the habitat map on the predicted distribution of richness in the southern Sierra Nevada, California. Predicted richness declines monotonically as the habitat map is generalized, due to reduction in the number of habitat types mapped in a quadrat. Misclassification had the oppo- site effect of predicting more species than the baseline model. Both factors produced changes in the grid cells predicted as having the most species. It is expected that these effects diminish as sampling unit size increases.


After Randy Harris' opening talk on challenges we face in reaching the next generation, John York took the podium and began talking about the key competencies that church leaders need in order to meet those challenges. Teaching, he says, is not merely about the transfer of information. Today's audiences have access to a virtually unlimited supply of information on their computers and their phones. No teacher can compete as a source of information. Trying to do so diminishes the teacher in the eyes of the students. Instead, the teacher needs to provide meaning, context and relevance for the information. How does this information change my life? How can it change yours?
That changes the kind of ministry graduates a university needs to produce. What are the key competencies a divinity school graduate should possess? What should a school like ACU do to instill those competencies? And how can they be measured?
John commented that training in Greek and Hebrew ranked at the very bottom of the list. Of course, that doesn't mean biblical languages are unimportant for a teacher. But it does mean many in churches don't see it as very important — far out of synch with the effort and emphasis on them in the university programs.
It is clear that in the view of this group of elders, high on the list of important skills are matters related to interpersonal relationships and reconciliation. Interestingly, those are not listed among the qualifications in Titus 1 and 1 Tim 3. (Although it could be argued that they are demonstrated in the kind of family that those passages describe). In general, the group rated itself as decent but not great in most of these areas. There is clearly room for (and need for) improvement. We need a way to develop those competencies in elders and in ministers.
I've noted before that the ICOC has taken a different approach to building church leaders. Churches of Christ appear to take people with good academic credentials and turn them into leaders of people through on-the-job training. The ICOC has done the opposite — attempting to identify people with natural leadership skill, and trying to supplement that with biblical training from time to time along the way. Neither is ideal, but God can work with weaknesses. The key ingredient IMO is Lordship. If there's one thing the scriptures say over an over, it's that God can use a person wholly devoted to him, despite great weaknesses.


SINGAPORE: Developers and property agents must not mislead buyers into mis-using industrial land for unauthorised commercial or office activities.
In fact, they are required to inform prospective buyers upfront that industrial units can only be used for industrial activities.
In a blog post on Friday, National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan said some appear to be abusing the lower rentals at industrial premises for commercial or office activities.
He said that's wrong as offices should be located at commercial sites.
Some non-industrial activities, such as child-care centres, staff canteens and showrooms, are allowed within industrial developments as they provide supportive services and do not occupy more than 40 per cent of the industrial development together with lift lobbies and other circulation areas.
Mr Khaw stressed that bona fide industrial activities will need space, and shoe-box factory units cannot accommodate genuine industrial activities.
Legitimate industrial activities include manufacturing, warehousing and production as well as certain types of e-businesses such as IT infrastructure and software development.
A shoe-box factory unit can span 50 to 80 square metres, no bigger than a typical convenience store such as a 7-Eleven shop.
According to industrial landlord JTC, a minimum unit size of 150 square metres is necessary for genuine industrial activities.
Mr Khaw said this information has been spelt out clearly in industrial land sale tenders and the evaluation of development proposals in industrial parks.
Responding to Channel NewsAsia's query, the Urban Redevelopment Authority said it will require developers of industrial properties to issue a side-letter to all buyers upfront at Option-to-Purchase stage.
The letter will spell out clearly that industrial premises are specifically for industrial use like production, manufacturing, factory and/or warehouse activities and are not be converted to other uses.
URA added that it is currently working closely with the Council for Estate Agencies (CEA) to ensure that estate agents and salespersons provide accurate information to potential buyers and tenants on the uses that can be allowed in industrial properties.
URA said it has conducted a seminar to educate real estate agents on URA's land use guidelines.

Impacts of pandemic on selling shrimp
shrimping(WTOC)
By Amanda Aguilar
Updated: Sep. 10, 2020 at 4:24 PM EDT
DARIEN, Ga. (WTOC) - It's been three months since the start of shrimp season. Back in June, a McIntosh County shrimp boat captain said his first catch could have been better.
Shrimp boats hit the Georgia waters early in the morning Thursday. Darrell Gale said he's had average catches, but when it comes time to selling the shrimp, that's where he's struggling.
Gale says there are so many small shrimp to catch, but customers are usually looking for big ones; more bang for your buck.
While the pandemic has impacted the restaurant industry, Gale says it's trickling down to the shrimping industry. He says he could usually sell about 1,000 pounds of shrimp a week to a restaurant, now, only 250.
That's because restaurants already have an overstock of shrimp, as they struggle to get customers back in their doors.
Gale says the lack of buyers makes it hard to work.
"If you stay locally with your boat and you have to work locally, if there's nothing but smaller shrimp to catch, you can't catch them because you can't sell them. If you do sell them, you're not going to get any type of profit margin for them. You're shooting yourself in the foot," Gale said.
Gale, along with other local shrimp boat captains, is having to travel outside of Georgia to catch bigger shrimp. He says that's the only thing he can do if he wants to stay in business.

Q: Unexpected behavior of sstableLoader I'm working on two different machines and both have different hard disk storage and different cassandra version.
machine 1
SSD hard disk, Cassandra 2.1.13
machine 2
HDD hard disk, Cassandra 2.1.3
Now I transferred data of one CF from machine 2 to machine 1 using SSTableLoader utility. Till this step it was working fine and data were also transferred successfully.
But By mistake I truncated the data on machine 2 for the same CF. In order to recover back the data I used the same concept. I tried to transfer the data from machine 1 to machine 2.
And meanwhile I found some strange logs

*

*16:22:53.956 [main] DEBUG o.a.c.io.sstable.SSTableReader - Cannot
deserialize SSTable Summary File
./data/data/sstableloadertest/typestest-8e68e811f56511e59d60297061e28552/sstableloadertest-typestest-ka-57-Summary.db:
Cannot deserialize SSTable Summary component because the
DiskAccessMode was changed!

And it also deleted the *summary.db component of sstable.
First I thought It happened due to different cassandra version But I was wrong.
Anyone can tell me why is this happening ?

A: The deleted summary file should be fine. Might be worth just deleting it yourself and restarting server. The summary file just stores indexes to the partitions and can be rebuilt on startup.
The default disk access mode is auto which is set based on if its a 32bit or 64bit architecture 1[2]. So likely your first or second system is using a 32bit version of jdk and other is not. Check in logs, there should be a line like
INFO  [main] 2016-03-16 16:45:11,464 CassandraDaemon.java:424 - JVM vendor/version: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM/1.8.0_45

If machine2 is running 64bit and machine1 was 32bit jvm then just set the disk_access_mode property in cassandra.yaml to standard. If machine2 is running 32bit jvm and machine1 was 64bit, upgrade jvm on machine2.
This will likely cause issues with all your other summary files set for other mode though. So ultimately it should work just letting it get rebuilt.

The Shops at Kenilworth is a mall in Towson, Maryland. It has more than 30 stores. The mall opened in 1979 as the Kenilworth Bazaar. The original anchor stores were Stebbins Anderson and Hochschild Kohn's.
Other former tenants include an express location of the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration, which closed on September 23, 2005 in favor of a new location elsewhere in Baltimore County, anda location of European clothing retailer Ulla Popken, which opened in 2000 and has since closed.
In 2008, the mall started to undergo a multimillion-dollar facelift. The mall managed to attract new tenants, despite a downturned economy that year.
In 2009, the mall celebrated its 30th anniversary, and stated that its retailers were doing well, despite the downturn in the economy.
In 2015, the new owners of the mall, Greenberg Gibbons, announced that they plan a massive renovation and expansion of the decades-old mall, including reconfiguration of the current retail space to give the mall street frontage on Kenilworth Drive. The expansion is planned on being completed by the summer of 2017. As part of the process, Stebbins Anderson has downsized to one floor, ultimately planning to occupy only the lower level of it former two-level space. Trader Joe's then plans to move its store from downtown Towson to the upper level in Spring 2017.
The mall has been under the following ownership:
Kenilworth Limited Partnership, an entity related to Towne Properties of Cincinnati (April 1994 to present)
Irvin C. Tillman, Sr. (February 1976 to April 1994)

In Conversation With Concept Designer Nicholas Chandor: Thinking up Space
Image courtesy: Jim Lee
Parni Ray
Nicholas Chandor makes spaces interesting. Over his three-decade-long career as a concept designer he has worked with elite restaurants, super yachts, luxury hotels as well as pop-up stores, window displays and even some mud huts in Sussex.
Some of his most interesting work has been for celebrated British fashion designer Paul Smith's clothing brand and includes stores and exhibitions worldwide. It all began, however, with Chandor's small antique stall at London's Portobello Road. Like then, furniture - antique, vintage, re-editions and contemporary - still remains central to his multidimensional practice.
Excerpts from a long-distance chat.
Parni Ray (PR): How would you describe what you do?
Nicholas Chandor (NC): My job really starts with someone coming and telling me that they have a project - a hotel, a store, private residence or any other space. Perhaps they need help setting it up and they ask me to conceptualize it. What that means is that I will come in at the very beginning of the project and help them formulate ideas for what the space will be like, often down to its last detail.
Personally, my work motto has been to never get bored. I have no real career path or ambitious plans and am always delighted to take on a project, whether big or small, if I think it is going to be fun, energetic and challenging.
PR: How did you get started?
NC: I drifted around the world (mostly the South Pacific) for a while in my early 20s. Eventually, I ended up with an antique stall on Portobello Road in London, which I ran for the first 10 years of my career.
Image caption: Nicholas Chandor became a concept designer for British fashion designer Paul Smith's stores worldwide in 2002. His work included the design and decoration of major flagships in Paris, Los Angeles, Shanghai, Melbourne, and London, and was instrumental to the creation of their unique interiors.
Seen here, Paul Smith's Park Street shop, opened in 2006. Image courtesy: Wikicommons.
As my mother rightly put it, 'my son is an antique dealer – he can't do anything else!'
I wasn't exactly commercially ambitious about how I set up my shop, it didn't even have a name. A lot of my peers, other antique shop owners, specialized in items, periods. I myself found it hard to limit myself in the same manner.
There is so much, both new and old to enjoy! I wasn't focused on anything specific, I loved them all. But I did have my own way of doing things. I paid attention, for instance, to my window display. The Evening Standard even gave me an award for it once (laughs).
Anyway, Paul liked my store and was a regular customer. He asked me to work for him a couple of times. I kept shrugging him off but soon I realized if I said no again he would probably not ask me again.
PR: So you took up his offer?
NC: Yes.
PR: Did you know what your work would be?
NC: Not really, no! (laughs). I was actually quite surprised to find how closely I would work with Paul and how quickly my job would kick off. Within just a week of joining, I was in Los Angeles to look at a site for a store. That became my first assignment.
Image caption: A striking window display at Paul Smith's store at Sendai, Japan, one of the 200 odd stores Chandor worked on for the brand. Image courtesy: Wikicommons.
PR: What was your work exactly?
NC: It varied. Mostly, it involved me conceptualizing themes for the stores of the brand in various new places. Each store had a different concept. Sometimes I worked just on the concept, sometimes I even looked for a building for the store to go into.
Paul Smith, the brand, had its own interior designers of course, but I think having had an antique store for a decade gave me an edge. It meant that I brought in a different aesthetic into the retail store interiors.
I also had a clear understanding of what goes into making a store. I knew and valued the fact that several people were involved in its upkeep and that they needed looking after and timely pay. I also knew that work needed to be put into forging a connection with the local community and culture.
I tried to factor this into the ideas I came up with for the 200 odd stores we made for Paul Smith all over the world. I think it was an asset. It is still an asset, now that I work independently.
Image caption: Nicholas Chandor sourced furniture for Burberry's new Thomas's Cafe (in picture) in Shenzhen, China. Meant to be a space for the Burberry community, it is named after the British luxury fashion house's founder, Thomas Burberry. For furnishing, he turned to Phantom Hands' upholstered chairs from the Project Chandigarh collection.
PR: What role would you say furniture plays in your work?
NC: Hugely important role! It's what you see and touch in a space. I spent a good part of my youth driving long distances in my old Jaguar to pick up antique furniture from Paris flea markets. I am just as excited about procuring furniture today as I was then.
PR: You have worked with Phantom Hands to source their re-editions of the Chandigarh furniture on a couple of projects recently...
NC: Yes, for the Spring Place in New York and the Burberry Cafe in Shenzhen.
I've always loved Jeanerette and Chandigarh – and an excuse to go to India is not to be missed. (Phantom Hands founder) Deepak is a delight - charming, helpful and funny! Their workshop is intriguing and really gave me a sense of the chair's history and the effort that goes into each of them. This was important because sometimes with new products things can get very impersonal very quickly.
Image caption: Opened in 2016, the Spring Place (in picture) is a members-only club in Manhattan's Tribeca neighbourhood. Aimed at jet-setting creative professionals, its sprawling12,000 sq. ft. interiors was designed by contemporary art and design specialist Andree Cooke, who turned to Nicholas Chandor for his expertise in vintage furniture. Seen here, Phantom Hands armless chairs from the 'Project Chandigarh' collection.
PR: Given your love of antiques, how do you choose between them and re-editions when procuring furniture for a space?
NC: I always encourage my clients to buy antique furniture, but under certain circumstances, re-editions are a better bet. Obviously, the ability to buy as many as you like is a great advantage for re-editions, especially when you are looking to buy a large set of dining chairs. Then there is the price point. Heritage furniture can be eye wateringly expensive...
Over the years I have come to appreciate that newly-designed furniture or re-editions work well in areas that get heavy use. Older pieces are better for decorative areas.

Keep students safe from meningitis
signsandsymptoms
We're urging parents of children off to university this autumn to help keep them safe from deadly meningitis
We're calling on mums and dads to ensure that their children have been vaccinated against Men ACWY and that they also know the signs and symptoms of the disease and what to do if they suspect it.
As thousands of students receive their A-level results and prepare for their journeys into higher education, we've launched our campaign targeting parents with meningitis information and calling on them to 'Do one last thing for your children before they go off to university – help keep them meningitis safe.'
Pack a signs and symptoms card
We're telling them to pack one of our signs and symptoms cards, fridge magnets or year planners in their child's bag to raise vital awareness and to keep an eye on their friends – they could save their lives.
Dr Tom Nutt, our Chief Executive, said, "Teenagers are the second most at-risk group of contracting meningitis after babies and toddlers - and up to a quarter of students carry the bacteria that can cause meningitis, compared to one in ten of the general population."
"It's vital to be up to date with vaccinations but these won't protect your child against all types of the disease."
"Make sure they know the signs and symptoms and that fast action saves lives and improves outcomes."
Freshers can be vulnerable
University freshers can be more vulnerable because of cramped living conditions. In many cases, young people come together from all over the world to live in one place and can be exposed to bacteria and viruses their bodies have not met before. This is why so many new students get 'freshers' flu'.
Every university in the UK could experience one case of meningitis among its students within the first term.
First year students up to the age of 25 can obtain a free vaccination for Men ACWY from their GP, although many will already have received this whilst at school. But this does not protect them against all strains of the disease and they are unlikely to have been vaccinated against Men B, leaving them at risk from this strain of the disease.
Support from parents
The charity's campaign is being supported by Bristol mother Michelle Bresnahan, who lost her 16-year-old son Ryan to Men B in 2010.
Since then she has campaigned tirelessly alongside her university student daughter Charlotte to raise awareness so that more young people can be protected, raising thousands through a Life for a Cure, the charity set up in Ryan's memory.
Michelle said, "I know only too well how devastating this disease can be and have seen the worst it can do, destroying young lives and tearing apart those who remain."
"No-one should be left counting the cost of inaction – I'm appealing to all parents to act now to ensure their children are safe."
We're offering a free information pack for parents and students, including leaflets, signs and symptoms cards, fridge magnets and year planners – all of which contain lifesaving information.
The early signs and symptoms of meningitis and septicaemia can be similar to 'flu, tummy bug or a hangover and include fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, muscle pain, stomach cramps and fever with cold hands and feet. More specific signs and symptoms include fever with cold hands and feet, drowsiness, confusion, pale blotchy skin, stiff neck, dislike of bright lights and a rash which doesn't fade under pressure.
Later in the autumn our awareness campaign will also target universities and new students directly.
Public Health England reports that there were 747 cases of meningococcal meningitis and septicaemia in England last year, with 18% of cases occurring in young adults aged 15 to 24. Of those who contract bacterial meningitis one in ten will die and one in three survivors will be left with life-changing after-effects.

Captive-born lion tamarins released into the wild: a report from the field
Published source details Dietz L.A. (1985) Captive-born lion tamarins released into the wild: a report from the field. Primate Conservation, 6, 21-27

This study is summarised as evidence for the following.
Reintroduce primates into habitat with predators
Action Link
Fostering appropriate behaviour to facilitate rehabilitation
Habituate primates to human presence to reduce stress from tourists/researchers etc.
Allow primates to adapt to local habitat conditions for some time before introduction to the wild
Provide additional sleeping platforms/nesting sites for primates
Treat sick/injured animals
Reintroduce primates in groups
Provide supplementary food for a certain period of time only
Reintroduce primates as single/multiple individuals
A before-and-after trial in 1954–1985 in a rainforest in Poço das Antas Reserve, Brazil found that translocation, alongside nine other interventions, led to a decline within one year of the population of captive-born golden lion tamarin Leontopithecus rosalia released into habitat with natural predators. No statistical tests were carried out to determine whether this decrease was significant. Of the 14 individuals released, seven died and two were removed. Three infants were born, one of which died due to illness. Eight individuals were released as a family group and six individuals were released as pairs one month later. Tamarins were placed in enclosures measuring 15 x 4.5 x 3 m to acclimatize. Tamarins were habituated to humans and fostered to aid survival in the wild. Sick or injured tamarins were captured and treated in a nearby rehabilitation centre. Reintroduced tamarins were supplied with food for ten months after their release. Artificial nesting boxes, which were hollow logs provided to tamarins during training, were also set up in the reserve. The study does not distinguish between the effects of the different interventions mentioned above.
A before-and-after trial in 1954-1985 in a degraded rain forest in Poço das Antas Reserve, Brazil found that the number of translocated captive-born golden lion tamarins Leontopithecus rosalia that were habituated to humans and fostered to facilitate survival in the wild along with nine other interventions, more than halved within the first year of release. No statistical tests were carried out to determine whether this decrease was significant. Of the 14 individuals released, seven died and two were removed. Three infants were born, one of which died. Eight individuals were released as a family group and six individuals were released as pairs one month later. Tamarins spend an unknown amount of time in 15 x 4.5 x 3 m outside enclosures. The reserve included natural predators. Sick or injured tamarins were captured and treated. Tamarins were supplied with food for 10 months post-release. Artificial nesting boxes, which were hollow logs provided to them during training, were set up in the reserve.

A before-and-after trial in 1954-1985 in a degraded rainforest in Poço das Antas Reserve, Brazil found that a translocated captive-born golden lion tamarin Leontopithecus rosalia population that was habituated to human presence along with nine other interventions, decreased by more than half (57%) within the first year post-release. However, no statistical tests were carried out. to determine whether this difference was significant. Of the 14 individuals released, seven died (50%) and two were removed and treated.

Anybody have any sure fire remedies for the little buggers?
This is a bad year for both Voles and Pocket Gophers....I don't think we have actual Moles here. For the pocket gophers there is a trap that you can get at UFA. It's a black box with the bottom and one end removed. The other end has a hole. When the gophers goes into it to cover the hole (they hate daylight) they get caught and killed in the trap. You may see a lot of those nice dirt mounds, but you don't have as many critters as you have mounds. You have to be selective about which mound you set up on. Go for the freshest dirt. I'd start with 6 traps and mark the locations with landscape markers (wires with fluorescent tape). For voles which dig those neat little trenches, the solution is mouse traps. But I wouldn't worry about them, they'll die off and go away. This past winter, I've been told is responsible for this problem. Believe me, you're not alone.
X2 on the traps. They work but I would HIGHLY recommend anchoring them down with some small chain or cable. I set up 6 last year and when I went out the following morning there was only one left (complete with mole). Dang coyotes had come around and taken the mole and the trap. That was a $75 lesson.
New to me - out in the palliser triangle there weren't such critters. The gophers came out where you could whack them.
These must be the pocket gophers - just a whole bunch of black mounds.
I'm sure gitrdun is right on the name, we have always generically referred to them as moles though. Lots in the area.
I probably should have explained that better... LOL... the traps were $15 each and I lost 5.
Yup, that is what I do. The little buggers are always invading my garden.
Yup Axeman, that is what my traps look like instead of round, they are square. Same idea though. they work.

With nearly 20 years of experience in the industry, I will teach you everything you need to know on how to become a competitive and successful working actor. Each lesson is tailored to your specific goal. We will go over character development, scene breakdown, vocal technique, audition prep, creating reels and self tapes etc. Acting is about having fun and putting your whole heart into the work, which is what we will do.
About Marquis
Acting has been a passion of mine since the age of 10. I started out in community plays and then worked up the courage to audition for musicals. Acting had always been a way to express myself and provide a chance to live another life momentarily. Over the years, I've performed in a plethora of the
I'm new to acting and was looking for a teacher to help me get started. Marquis is so friendly and fun to work with. He has a lot of information about techniques, acting exercises, websites for scripts and monologues etc. I've learned so much and feel like I've come so far within the few weeks that I've worked with Marquis. He is so patient and thorough with me. I am absolutely going to continue lessons with him. If you're looking to get into acting or even just get better, I would 100% recommend Marquis! Thank you so much for building my confidence!!

Dennis J.
Speaks American English
Awarded One Voice Awards from Gravy for the Brain
I teach all kinds of acting, and have for over 40 years, but I specialize in stage acting, on-camera acting, acting for the face, voice acting, comedic acting, physical acting, improv, script analysis, monologues, audition prep, audition videos and voice over auditions.
For Voice Acting, we'll cover the various elements including: pitch; loudness; speed; rhythm; tone; prosody; variables and variations; character elements; use of dramatic and comedic pauses; emotion; enunciation; emphasis; pace; intervals; nasal continuents; u-glide; musicality; timing, and more.
We'll study mic technique, what to do and what to avoid. We'll study how to prepare your script, including identifying and using key words, and script shorthand. We'll explore what to expect in the studio, how to work with a producer, how to work with a sound engineer, and how to work with other voice actors.
We'll apply the elements of Voice Acting to the study of voice artistry, video game voiceovers, commercial ...

Dennis has been a mentor and friend now for nearly 20 years. He is a knowledgeable and passionate advocate for the arts who gives his all to each student. Working with him is always challenging and fun.
Dennis Johnson is extremely passionate and knowledgable about every topic relating to acting and voiceovers. His classes are friendly, warm, funny, inviting and are always very positive. Although his classes may be challenging, he focusses on preparing his students for the real world and is passionate about putting his student's best foot forward. A few things he covers in classes are improvisation, analyzing monologues and analyzing film. He is reliable and flexible with busy schedules and makes an effort to teach life lessons as well. I feel extremely lucky to have found him and to have access to his classes and film and voice over editing skills. He is a gem.
Working with Dennis has been incredibly beneficial to my growth as an actor. His ability to dissect a scene, work through the nuances of the character, and the sub-text and communicate this on camera with techniques that set you above the amateur actor, has helped me tremendously and opened up not only opportunities but my confidence as well. Dennis approaches the actor as a whole and understands there are parts to this whole and each part—the body, the speech, the mind—is just as important as the next. I wouldn't be the actor I am today if it weren't for Dennis.

Kimi (Viola is preferred)
The first lesson went great and though there was a lot to learn, she explained everything and was clear about her expectations.
Ilana is my first instructor, and I can already tell I made the right choice. First lesson, I told her what I felt my biggest weaknesses are, and she immediately began helping me. She was very considerate and emphasized her concern about pushing me too far, but I told her to trust me in return to tell her if I had hit a limit, and I felt very heard in that moment. The sort of open and safe communication she has provided makes me feel at ease during our lessons and thus makes it easier for me to push past any limits I've so far come across. Honestly after each lesson, whenever anything happens in my newly found VA world, the first thing I think is: "I can't wait to tell Ilana!"
Alex and Alahna
Ilana was very informative, friendly, and helpful. It's hard to find someone that truly has these qualities, but Ilana has them and is great. She was very informative on breath control which is a major thing to know. Looking forward to more lessons with Ilana and to continue improving.

Plannng to visit the cooperative mines in Potosi? Prepare to be shocked as you experience the terrible working conditions that thousands of men endure every day.
Many work in total darkness for 12 hours straight – usually without food and water – extracting minerals such as silver ore and zinc. They use only basic materials and are exposed to toxic chemicals that can lead to silicosis pneumonia, an almost certain death.
Tours cost from 80 Bs (£7) and include hostel pickup, transport to the miners' market where you can buy cocoa leaves, drinks and cigarettes for the workers, a tour of the refinery and a 2-hour crawl through the mines themselves.
Good companies (such as Koala Tours) will provide a helmet, head lamp, protective clothing and English-speaking guides (if needed). Make sure they explain all the risks and give you plenty of time to ask questions. If possible book with an ex-miner – this way you'll be in the best possible hands if something goes wrong.
Be warned! You are in a fully working mine where accidents happen on a daily basis. Don't do this tour if you have any medical problems or are prone to claustrophobia. You'll be 60m underground with no easy way out!

PASC22 About Location
The conference will be held at the Congress Center Basel, located in Basel, Switzerland.
MCH Basel Exhibition
Messeplatz 21
The Congress Center Basel and its facilities enjoy a downtown location, situated directly adjacent to Basel Exhibition Centre. Travel times within the city are short and the historic old town, the shopping areas and the many museums and parks can be reached comfortably on foot or in a few minutes by public transport.
Welcome to Basel
Basel lies in the middle of Europe, on both banks of the Rhine. The city is the center of the idyllic border triangle of France, Germany and Switzerland – lying between the Swiss Jura, Germany's Black Forest and the Vosges in Alsace.
The heart of the city beats in Basel's well-preserved, romantic old town: its narrow streets and hidden squares with more than 180 fountains are just as charming as its many centuries-old buildings and eye-catching sights. Thanks to its many parks, tree-lined avenues and gardens, Basel is a leafy city. These green spaces are great places to walk and linger in the summer months.
Basel is also the oldest university city in Switzerland (550 years) and one of Europe's leading teaching and research locations for the life sciences and medical research, as well as energy and cultural sciences.
Roche Tower
How to get to Basel
Located in the heart of Europe, Basel is a major transportation hub.
Basel's EuroAirport, only a 15-minute drive from the city centre and well connected with busses, is served by a number of international airlines. Together with neighbouring Zurich Airport, it offers connections to all European airports and to more than 200 intercontinental destinations.
Basel's three railway stations offer excellent connections to all Swiss cities and the most important European metropolises. The Swiss Railway station (SBB), the French Railway station (SNCF) and the Badische Bahnhof, operated by German Railway (DB), are all conveniently located in the heart of the city.
Basel is easy to reach by car, as the city lies between the European North-South and East-West motorway junctions. Basel's hotels and its car parks offer plenty of parking.
Please note that a vignette (toll road sticker) is required to use the Swiss motorway network. You can purchase it for CHF 40 at all customs offices, post offices, petrol stations, garages, road traffic offices and from Basel Tourism.
Be inspired by the Basel Tourismus website with great sightseeing tips and information about places and points of interest in Basel and surrounding areas.
Hardly another monument in the city of Basel has become such a symbol of the city as the Mittlere Brücke. Opened in 1226, it is one of the oldest Rhine crossings between Lake Constance and the North Sea.
Basler Münster
Together with the Mittlere Brücke, the Basler Münster (Cathedral) is probably the most famous landmark in Basel. With its red sandstone walls, colourful roof tiles and twin towers, no other building adorns the cityscape of Basel like the Cathedral.
The City Hall is the seat of the Basel government and its parliament. In the midst of the Old Town, it is particularly eyecatching with its red facade, the characteristic tower and playful frescoes.
Tinguely Fountain
In 1977 Jean Tinguely created sculptural machines in a shallow fountain where the stage of the old city theatre company once stood, and in the process gifted Basel a famous new landmark.
Basel Zoo
The oldest zoo in Switzerland is open everyday throughout the year, providing visitors with an impressive insight into flora and fauna from around the world.
Take advantage of your BaselCard and get a 50% discount on your zoo visit. The free guest card is included in every overnight stay and will be given to you at check-in.


Karim Benzema is one of the few Real Madrid players to have had his future guaranteed by Zinedine Zidane and he repaid his coach's faith on Saturday by scoring twice in a 2-1 win over Eibar.
Madrid had to come from behind at the Santiago Bernabeu after a dismal first-half performance included Marc Cardona, playing after an injury to Pedro Leon during the warm-up, gave Eibar a surprise lead.
But Madrid improved, and two excellent Benzema headers ensured the groans and whistles that had soured the atmosphere for much of the opening hour turned to cheers and applause at the end.
Much of the frustration was again directed at Gareth Bale, who started here after being dropped by Zidane for the defeat to Valencia on Wednesday.
Benzema's trajectory has been the opposite, the Frenchman has six goals in five La Liga games, four of them since Zidane took over.
Madrid's win means they are 10 points adrift of leaders Barcelona to 10 points and two behind Atletico Madrid. Barca and Atletico play each other later on Saturday. Eibar stay 11th.

Спаса Нерукотворного пустынь — мужской монастырь Козельской епархии Русской православной церкви.

Монастырь находится в селе Клыково неподалёку от города Козельска Калужской области.

Монастырь в Клыкове действует с недавних пор. В древности здесь проходил путь, по которому ходили русские князья, хазары и татары. Здесь находилось и языческое городище, где проповедовал священномученик Кукша — русский просветитель домонгольской поры. Примечательны и события, предшествовавшие строительству в Клыкове храма в честь Hepyкотворного Образа Господня.

В 1924—1926 годах после разорения Свято-Введенской Оптиной пустыни часть братии во главе с иеромонахом Пантелеимоном (Шибановым) поселилась в селе Клыково Козельского района.

Дополнительная информация
Монастырь ведёт просветительскую деятельность: детский центр «Возрождение» находится в Козельске.

Primal Pathways and the Centre for Coaching (a centre for excellence at the University of Cape Town's Graduate School of Business), are excited to offer a unique Wilderness Coaching Masterclass in one of Africa's most remote and untouched wildlife sanctuaries. From 10 – 15 November, 2019, Craig O'Flaherty, Janine Ahlers and Brent Harris will lead a life-changing five-day wilderness-immersion, delving into the transformative perspectives of nature, deep in the vastness of North Luangwa National Park.
Limited to a group size of six, this experiential journey is a rare opportunity to encounter the undisturbed purity of the African wilderness, accompanied by sensitive and insightful guiding and two of the continent's most sought after coaches.
In order to adopt more powerful thought patterns, and release habits that no longer serve us, we must step out of our familiar environment and see the world from new eyes.
