Local author debuts new play at Fringe Festival
World Premiere of Almonte Playwright's Entangled at Ottawa Fringe Festival
by Jacob Berkowitz
In my work as a contract science writer, hired to popularize science and medicine, I'm often torn by the parts of the story I can't tell.
In the formal science press release there's usually no place for the astronomer or biologist's nuanced personal backstory. For the details of how the addiction, the heartbreak, the loss of a child or the desire to have one, shaped the trajectory of a life and in turn, scientific discovery.
Which is why I was so excited and intrigued when in 2008—taking a pause from writing in a physics library and scanning the shelves—I came across the book Atom and Archetype: The Pauli/Jung Letters 1932-1958.
I knew from the book cover's image that the Jung was pioneering Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Jung and the Pauli, the renowned, Nobel Prize-winning quantum physicist Wolfgang Pauli.
What I didn't know is that the muse would lead me on a ten-year journey to turn Jung and Pauli's backstory into Entangled. The play is an exploration of the complexities and challenges of friendship, love, death and dreams within the context of the greatest physics and psychology insights of the 20th century.
Born in 1900, Pauli was a physics child prodigy, earning his PhD at age 18 explicating Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. He'd go on to predict the existence of the neutrino, "a nothing that is", and earn the Nobel Prize for the Pauli Exclusion Principle, a quantum description about why no two particles can occupy the same space—and thus literally why there are distinct objects rather than a single, great quantum blob.
Actors Paul Rainville as Carl Jung (left) and Almonte's David Frisch as Wolfgang Pauli put Entangled on "its feet" in early rehearsals at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum. Watching intently are director and Mississippi Mills creative impresario Cathy Clark (back, right) and stage manager Jane Osborn.
But in 1930, at the height of his rational prowess, Pauli was anguished by his mother's suicide and his wife leaving him after a year of marriage, and tormented by his nighttime dreams and drinking. Seeking help, he sought out the renowned Zurich psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung.
That first visit resulted in a 25-year-long relationship that is one of the most fascinating meeting of minds and hearts I've ever come across.
In person and in writing, Pauli shared more than 1300 dreams with Jung. In turn, Jung used these quantum dreams to develop and try and prove core aspects of his dream theories, in particular the presence of ancient alchemical symbolism in modern dreams.
Imagine the kind of intimacy and vulnerability that develops between two people sharing and analyzing dreams at this scale. Yet, Jung and Pauli shared an even deeper connection, one that deeply entangled them in one another's psyches. Through their conversations, they realized they were exploring the same great mystery, the nature of matter and mind—Pauli with numbers and equations on a blackboard, Jung with dreams and symbols in talk therapy. And in both cases, they were trying to join two dimensions to create a form of divine wholeness: conscious and unconscious, the quantum and the cosmos.
They felt an immense intellectual kinship, yet in a personal relationship underlain with uncertainty and deep, unresolved emotional tensions related to loyalty, trust and intimacy.
On his deathbed in a Zurich hospital in 1958, the last person Pauli called for was Jung. His friend, the great psychologist never came. Well, not until Entangled.

Spilled gasoline or free product floating on groundwater is being monitored and recovered at many gas stations. Pall Corporation's Schumasoil® well screen is made by melting plastic beads, has small pores, high open area and is hydrophobic. (8) The main questions about this well screen are: 1) What pore size Schumasoil screen is best for a given aquifer grain-size distribution? and 2) How do these screens perform compared to well screens commonly used at free product sites? We performed laboratory experiments using four wells, one of each pore size (200, 80, 40 and 20 microns), in five different sands, filled with water and dyed kerosene.
All of these screens were successful in imbibing kerosene helping them connect better with the kerosene in the aquifer. The 20-micron screen outperformed all other Schumasoil® screens in most sands. This screen's small pores attract kerosene by capillarity, becoming highly saturated. The 200-micron screen did better in two sands, and was best at pumping water.
The 20 and 200-micron Schumasoil® screens were tested alongside wirewrapped PVC and stainless steel screens. The 20-micron screen significantly outperformed both of these and the 200-micron screen.

Raymond James nabs $260M team
By Paola Peralta August 09, 2019, 3:35 p.m. EDT 1 Min Read
A $260 million team left Morgan Stanley to join Raymond James & Associates, the firm's employee channel.
René Dierkes and Frank McKenna joined the regional BD in Morristown, New Jersey.The duo had been with Morgan Stanley and its predecessor firms for nearly 20 years.
They're also the most recent wirehouse team to move to Raymond James, which has been courting talent at its larger rivals. Last month, Raymond James hired a $252 million duo in Doylestown, Pennsylvania from the wirehouse.
Dierkes, a 30-year industry veteran joined Legg Mason in 1990. McKenna started his careers at the firm in 2000, according to FINRA BrokerCheck records. They stayed with the firm through subsequent acquisitions by Smith Barney and then Morgan Stanley.
A spokeswoman for Morgan Stanley didn't respond for comment on their departure.
It was Raymond James' concern for their clients that initially attracted the team, Dierkes said in a statement.
"We were so impressed that you can discuss ideas to even the key people in the firm, everyone is approachable," he said.
The firm's resources and open platform for investing were also driving factor, McKenna said in the statement.
"This is a firm that is client first, client focused and client friendly," he said. "It is with Raymond James that we can build on the client-advisor relationship."
Raymond James' hiring efforts have pushed headcount above 7,900 independent and employee advisors, according to the company's latest earnings report. Overall, the firm manages $824 billion.

The Haarlem Lock, Amsterdam
about 1663-5
Inscription summary
Bequeathed by Miss Beatrice Mildmay, 1953
NG6138
Hobbema was a specialist landscape painter – this is his only known city view, a depiction of the ordered and harmonious relationship between people and water. We are looking towards the Haarlem Lock at the point where two of Amsterdam's most important waterways meet – the Singel on the right and the Brouwersgracht in the immediate foreground. Hobbema seems to have chosen this view to focus the viewer's mind on the connection between this carefully regulated system of canals and the wider world.
Beyond the lock and the lock-keeper, who is controlling the water with a long lever, are the clustered masts of a dozen or so square-riggers, part of the huge Dutch merchant fleet which had mastered the high seas for Holland. To the right is one of the look-out towers which were part of the town's fortifications from the fifteenth century. It was called the Herring-Packers' Tower (Haaringpakkerstoren), a nod to the work done in the adjoining warehouse.
We are looking towards the Haarlem Lock (the Haarlemmersluis) at the point where two of Amsterdam's most important waterways meet – the Singel on the right and the Brouwersgracht in the immediate foreground. This was one of the main entry points to the concentric rings of canals that formed the city's main transport system. Along the quays that lined them were the grand merchants' mansions and the warehouses used to store the goods, spices and exotica which – in the mid seventeenth century, when this picture was made – were the source of a spectacular economic boom in Holland.
Hobbema seems to have chosen this view deliberately to focus the viewer's mind on the connection between this carefully regulated system of canals and the wider world beyond. Beyond the lock, framed by the high beams, chains and cables of the lifting bridge, we can see the clustered masts of a dozen or so square-riggers. These were part of the huge Dutch merchant fleet which traded around the world, and especially with the Spice Islands and the Dutch East Indies. They are moored just outside the city walls; access to the South Sea and subsequent access to the North Sea was just a few miles down river.
To the right of the masts, you can just see the sail of a smaller vessel passing close to the other side of the bridge. In fact, this picture is full of activity. Two figures on the quay are moving a huge basket, and great sheaves of reeds, the necessary raw material for making such things, lay next to it. Meanwhile a lock-keeper is manning the lever which operates the sluice. It must be high tide, because water is gushing out of the lock to lower the level. A boat in the right foreground, held in position by a crewman, is waiting for the gates to open; behind the wooden staging we can see the heads and shoulders of two men who must be standing in their boat waiting to leave the lock and enter the canal system. Behind them a workman brushes his sweepings towards a bonfire which flares up against the wall. The clock on the tower behind him says five to five: he must be tidying up at the end of his working day.
Although the tower looks like a church spire, it is actually one of the look-outs which were part of the town's fortifications from the fifteenth century (the top was added at the beginning of the seventeenth century). It was called the Herring-Packers' Tower (Haaringpakkerstoren), a nod to the work done in the adjoining warehouse. The fish were one of the staples of the time.
The view shows the area before alterations of 1661–2, but may have been painted later. Hobbema was living in the Haarlemmerdijk, the corner of which is shown here in the left background, by late 1668. As a specialist landscape painter, he normally concentrated on idyllic woodland scenes evocative of country life, and the scenery around Amsterdam where he lived and worked. This is his only known depiction of a city view.

Meindert Hobbema liked nothing better than to take you for a walk.

Instead of painting accurate, identifiable views based on a real scene, Hobbema – and many other landscape specialists of th...
A Woody Landscape
Hobbema specialised in landscapes which present a positive, even idealised, evocation of carefree country life, where the trees are always heavy with summer leaf, the tracks are dry and there is only a gentle breeze in the air.This didn't necessarily reflect day-to-day realities. Woodland of this...
A Woody Landscape with a Cottage
A rutted cart track leads straight into the middle of the picture. A group of figures are caught in a patch of sunlight while a cottage merges into the shadows. A frieze of trees stands out against a sunny glade and a cloudy sky beyond. Many of Hobbema's landscapes were composed around these spec...
Cottages in a Wood
Meindert Hobbema specialised in landscapes, and particularly woodland scenes such as this. They were not usually modelled on real views, but were composed to capture the atmosphere and harmonies of woodland life. Here the three cottages seem to merge into the underwood. Switches cut from a nearby...
The Avenue at Middelharnis
Hobbema has created a remarkable effect in this unusual painting, using the trees of the avenue to funnel our view directly into the heart of the picture and as strong verticals to take the eye upwards. Our gaze is also drawn sideways into the landscape, through both the track which turns off to...
The Ruins of Brederode Castle
Many – very probably most – seventeenth-century Dutch landscape paintings do not show a real view, but were composed to capture the spirit or impression of a place. Even where they do depict somewhere specific they would often be made more aesthetically pleasing by exaggeration or rearrangement.T...
The Watermills at Singraven near Denekamp
The watermills depicted here still survive today – they are part of the former estate at Singraven, near Denekamp, one of the most easterly points of Holland. Hobbema seems to have been inspired to paint them because his teacher, Jacob van Ruisdael, had depicted the mills on several occasions.Whi...

In general, there are five styles of furniture that you can buy. They are traditional, contemporary, coastal, transitional and coastal. Some are more appropriate for your region than others, but of course you are inside your home. Make sure you plan a specific budget before you go to furniture shopping. Furniture comes in different forms and has a large range of prices with it.When buying leather furniture, make sure you get top grain leather. The upper grain leather is more expensive but it will last much more. Leather that is not upper grain has actually been made of compressed fatty tissue. This low quality leather will not look good unless you keep it moist. If you are moving to an apartment as a single single person, do not buy heavy and expensive furniture. You will probably get married and possibly buy a home.Furniture is expensive several times. That's why you can benefit from having normal furniture. High quality used furniture is available in garage sales, in classrooms or from second hand shops. Once you have bought such items, they can be easily recycled. You can save enough money by following this advice. When it comes to shopping for leather furniture, remember to keep the different leather degrees in mind.To prepare for your adventure, read the tips below. Be aware of the types of wood that are usually made of your furniture. There are different types of wood types, so the same piece of furniture made from one type of wood can be much tighter when it is made of a different type of wood. This can also result in a larger price too. When shopping for bedroom furniture, measure your bedroom before you go shopping.

eARC Review – You've Reached Sam by Dustin Thao
December 12, 2021 November 27, 2021 baltimorebibliophile
Title: You've Reached Same
Author: Dustin Thao
Seventeen-year-old Julie has her future all planned out—move out of her small town with her boyfriend Sam, attend college in the city, spend a summer in Japan. But then Sam dies. And everything changes.
Heartbroken, Julie skips his funeral, throws out his things, and tries everything to forget him and the tragic way he died. But a message Sam left behind in her yearbook forces back memories. Desperate to hear his voice one more time, Julie calls Sam's cellphone just to listen to his voicemail.
And Sam picks up the phone.
In a miraculous turn of events, Julie's been given a second chance at goodbye. The connection is temporary. But hearing Sam's voice makes her fall for him all over again, and with each call it becomes harder to let him go. However, keeping her otherworldly calls with Sam a secret isn't easy, especially when Julie witnesses the suffering Sam's family is going through. Unable to stand by the sidelines and watch their shared loved ones in pain, Julie is torn between spilling the truth about her calls with Sam and risking their connection and losing him forever.
You've Reached Sam will rip your heart out in the most amazing way. I cried throughout this whole book, to the point my husband was urging me to put it down multiple times. But I couldn't, because it was so emotional and captivating. I don't know what I did to be so thoroughly destroyed by Dustin Thao, but I'm ready to do it again with whatever else he writes.
Told in present day, with some flashbacks, this story follows Julie as she tries to recover from losing her boyfriend in a car crash after having their whole life planned. And, she thinks it was her fault – along with a lot of her school. But when Julie tries to call Sam's phone just to hear his voicemail, something amazing happens. Sam picks up. And Julie can talk to him whenever she wants – but there will be an end date. Together they work on putting Julie's life back together and working through her grief.
Like I said, you will find this book to be extremely sad. That's the point, it starts from the very first page. It's a fantastic conversation around grief, especially as a teenager and trying to find your place in the world. The epilogue is beautifully written and brings closure for the book. I wish there was some closure with Sam's friend group and some other small pieces that could have been wrapped up tighter, but overall it was fantastic. A full 5 stars from me.
Thank you to Wednesday Books and Netgalley for an early copy in exchange for an honest review.

Mechanical Bear
Mechanical Bear is a trio comprised of Chris Koh (violin), Masahico Shimaji (bass) and Samm Bennett (drums and vocal). The three improvisors have developed a strong musical relationship and create a focussed ensemble sound. Funky beats and bass lines from Samm and "Masa", in a tight rhythmic dialog, form a solid base for the music, while Chris Koh's violin work moves between soaring melodic exploration and taut, angular cross-rhythmic phrasing. Masa also expands the sonic palette of the band through his deft use of various effects and extended performance techniques, sometimes transforming the bass into what seems like an altogether different instrument. Rounding out the proceedings are Samm's extemporaneous vocals and spur-of-the-moment songs. All in all, a swirling and eclectic mix of unexpected musical elements making for adventurous listening that's nicely satisfying at the same time.

While fans everywhere cry for more sequels of Bethesda's popular titles like Skyrim and Fallout, the people at id Software have been working on something that very few saw coming. Over the past few days, Bethesda has been dropping hot pink hints of an upcoming announcement on social media. Those who saw the Rage influence had mixed reactions. Most people still were asking where the next Skyrim game announcement is and said Bethesda was wasting their time and resources with this new release. Having never played the original Rage I can't speak from past experience. However... I am very excited to check out this new game. Watch the trailers below and tell me they don't at least get you a little excited.


Figure 1 shows Boston Scientific heart rhythm devices - top, Teligen E110 ICD and Altrua 60 S603 ICP bottom, Cognis N119 CRT-D and Altrua 60 EL S606.
While manufacturers continue to investigate and test devices for functional stability in vitro, research was conducted to provide the information sought by radiation oncologists regarding the change in the radiation beam consequential to having a heart rhythm device remain in it. This is the first publication involving Boston Scientific heart rhythm device effects to radiation beams.
The findings presented here are intended to be a guide for physicians who confide in the computer-modeled radiation therapy treatment plan prior to delivery. It is still recommended that heart rhythm devices not be placed directly in the path of therapeutic radiation. However, in order to test a commercial treatment planning system's capabilities to model dose at all, these results may be used to assist with the understanding of software limitations and to approximate these physical interactions even when they are out of the field.
This research is specific to devices currently manufactured by Boston Scientific. They include two implantable cardiac pacemakers (ICP), an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), an implantable cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) and associated electrical leads.
The dimensions of the devices vary significantly. The largest is the Cognis CRT-D at 6.17 × 7.95 cm2 with a 9.9 mm thickness. Slightly smaller is the Teligen ICD at 6.17 × 7.95 cm2 with a 9.9 mm thickness. The Altrua 60 EL ICP has dimensions of 4.9 × 4.3 cm2 with an 8 mm thickness. The smallest device is the Altrua 60 ICP, with dimensions of 4.4 × 4.2 cm2 and 8 mm thick.
Figure 1, below, provides a scaled illustration of each. In order to model the dose in a treatment planning system, a water phantom was used to represent a patient undergoing a computerized tomography (CT) scan. A CNMC WP-3040 water phantom was positioned on the couch of the scanner and filled to a depth of 11 cm with an 8 cm acrylic platform positioned inside, so the resulting water depth to the platform was 3 cm. Each device was consecutively submerged and affixed to the platform with electrode leads attached.
The orientation for each heart rhythm device is rotationally centered, with the port connections superior, and turned such that electrodes connect to it from a prone patient's right side. This stated orientation is identical to what's shown in Figure 1 and referred to in this article.
For the first scan, the Altrua 60 EL ICP was connected superiorly at the IS-1(RA) port with the AS Fineline II Sterox EZ endocardial pacing lead model 4469, and at the second IS-1(RA) port inferiorly with the Fineline II Sterox endocardial lead model 4457. The second scan included the Altrua ICP 60 with the same leads identically connected. The third scan incorporated the Teligen ICD connected superiorly to DF-1(-), DF-1(+) and IS-1(RV) ports with the Endotak Reliance G defibrillation lead model 0185 and also at the IS-1(RA) connection centrally with the Fineline II Sterox endocardial lead 4457.
For the last scan, the Cognis CRT-D was connected at the DF-1(-), DF-1(+) and IS-1(RV) ports to the Endotak Reliance G defibrillation lead model 0185, then at the IS-1(RA) connection centrally with the Fineline II Sterox endocardial lead 4457, and finally at the (LV) port with the LD CV Acuity Spiral UP model 4593 FD. These connections accurately represent the connections made by vascular physicians on the day of implantation.
After scanning acquisition was complete, all four scan sets, including one per heart rhythm device, was networked to treatment planning computers. Simulation contouring from these CT data was done using Varian's Eclipse treatment planning system 8.6. Data streaking artifacts exhibited from metals in the device were negated first using existing knowledge of the dimensions of the devices. Boolean operation permitted the assignment of all phantom volume outside of the device contour to have unit density (0 HU).
he chosen position for the prescription point was at 7 cm off-axis in both directions and under 2.5 cm water depth. The prescription for calculation was for the reference point to receive 10 Gy at 4 Gy/min in a single radiation delivery. Ideal properties of flatness and symmetry within the beam were ensured, as the radiation field was defined by 30 × 30 cm2 jaw collimation.
The water depth providing maximum dose was nominally 1.5 cm at 6 MV and 2.5 cm at 18 MV. Varian scaling geometry was used, where the gantry angle, couch angle and collimator were each at 180 degrees. The smallest possible grid size of 0.1 mm was assigned. In each of the four identical dose simulation plans specific to each device studied, the algorithm was programmed to present results while considering the various interpreted densities within each heart rhythm device. The resulting 3-D distribution of dose absorbed by the phantom medium is shown in separate views of the software.
Dose calculation points were strategically placed where the highest dose gradient lines were observed in each plane independently for each device plan. Figure 2 illustrates the simulated dose calculation results.
Dose points were placed along electrodes of each lead at a distance of 0.3 cm both anterior and posterior on CT scans. Posterior to the bulky generator device, points were placed at 1 cm and 2 cm away. Laterally and superiorly, dose calculation points were positioned 0.5 cm away. It was expected that photon fluence would decrease significantly in passing through the metallic devices, but that dose would be seen to increase slightly laterally and anterior, due to back-scattering.
Treatment planning system results were verified by direct ionization measurements. Measurement geometry was performed identically to that of the CT acquisition and planning. Point radiation measurements were conducted using a PTW New York thimble-type ionization chamber with 0.015cm3 sensitive volume. The "pin-point" chamber was connected to a CNMC 206 electrometer having a 200 nC feedback module, model 206-110. For all measurements, a nominal potential of +300 V to the center-pin was maintained.
The chamber was submerged in the water phantom and affixed using medical tape at the various anterior and lateral locations observed by treatment planning to be high-dose change areas of interest for the device under investigation. For homogeneous measurement comparisons, the device and electrodes were entirely removed, with the chamber repositioned to the same point as before with the assistance of a rubber bolus material. Measurements were made at locations identical to the position of calculation points used for treatment planning. The chamber was positioned along electrodes of each lead at a distance of 0.3 cm both anterior and posterior.
Laterally and superiorly, dose measurements were achieved 0.5 cm away. The phantom used for attenuation measurements was a homemade, plastic phantom with a square area of 30 × 30 cm2, base thickness of 0.3 mm and height of 12.5 cm. Water was added as before, resulting in a 3 cm water depth. This phantom geometry permitted radiation measurements to be acquired using a Sun Nuclear MapCheck diode array with software version 5.00.00. The detector system included 445 diodes embedded in a water-equivalent plastic at a depth of 2 cm beneath the surface in a plane 22 × 22 cm2 in area.
Dose gradients were easily identifiable through the simulation process, shown in Figure 2. Calculation points of interest were decidedly placed at locations where the highest dose gradients exist.
For generators, back-scatter and side-scatter measurements were not observed through simulation, but both were measured at small levels from ionization chamber measurements. Less than 1.1% side-scatter was seen for all generator types. Back-scatter was determined to be of less consequence, resulting in findings on the order of 0.8%. Attenuation was notably identifiable in simulation methods and through measurement. Table 1 shows results for each device at 6 MV and 18 MV photon energies.
Agreement between the two methods was determined to be within +2.9%. The average disagreement for all generators was +1.6% at 6 MV and +1.7% at 18 MV. In all cases, except for the results of the Altrua 60 EL ICP, simulation results were underestimated as compared to measured changes. However, the least amount of disagreement was determined in this case at -0.8%.
All leads exhibited dose changes through simulation and measured nearly identically. No back-scatter or side-scatter was observed in either case. However, each lead caused an effect of dose disturbance by attenuation up to 2.5%. The maximum dose difference seen for the port connectors reflected dose changes of small magnitude as well. The maximum dose change observed in all cases was 3.1% for electrode leads.
It was expected the photon beam would interact with the metal electronics and casing within each heart rhythm device. But it was important to understand the level of interaction exhibited by each. Inspection of the internal structure of the devices revealed a consistent pattern of dose change behavior - the greater the density of the material in a sizable area, the greater the dose change effect exhibited.
Assisted by CT scan images, the more dense areas within these devices were color-coded and can be seen in the Figure 3 illustration. Both ICPs are similar in construction and in their effects on the distribution of dose in water. The greater density locations within these devices are mostly located on the right side and inferior (Figures 2 and 3).
The pacemaker contains a highly dense lithium iodine battery encased in stainless steel and titanium, taking up half of its total volume. The battery takes up nearly the entire inferior volume of the device. This is consistent with the large change isodose shift observed from simulation (shown in Figure 2, D) being dominantly superior.
Some attenuation was observed in the simulated dose plots inferior. This region contains the bulk of the pacemaker's electronics. To a much less degree of change with respect to the inferiorly located battery, the largest of changes from this superior region appear to be from the centrally located copper. Change was also noted from the location of the ceramic platinum-sandwiched capacitor arrays. This is also observed in Figure 2, D, as superiorly located, rippled isodose gradients.
The Teligen ICD and the Cognis CRT-D are very different in construction compared to the ICPs. But the two defibrillator types have comparable designs and dose change effects with each other (Figures 2 and 3). They both have a stack of two high-voltage titanium-surrounded capacitors in the inferior left side of the device, taking up about one-fourth of the total volume.
Next to the capacitor stack, right-sided and taking up about another one-fourth of the volume, is the generator battery. It is comprised largely of manganese dioxide with 5% nickel, all enveloped in a grade 316L stainless steel casing. The highly dense inferior region containing the capacitors and battery caused the largest shift in isodose distribution, as in Figure 2, B. There also was a pronounced step-like shift in the dose distribution from right to left. The variation in attenuation was caused by the right side having greater density than the left.
With manganese and nickel present in the battery, a higher effective atomic number for it caused more radiation blocking. Superior attenuation locations were noted to be caused by various small electronic components present. These include a strip of tantalum capacitors, a round high-voltage transformer with a copper coil, a block of ceramic capacitors made of barium titanate and an externally positioned radiofrequency antenna wire made of platinum-irridium.
The effects caused by these electronic components were identified in Figure 2, C, as jagged dose changes. Generator leads were made with identical stainless steel port connectors. The electrodes were mainly platinum-irridium. Although there was some difference seen in the spacing and length of electrodes, each lead model generally had little effect on the 6 MV and 18 MV photon beams.
In conclusion, agreement between simulation and radiation measurement was determined to be within +2.9%. The average disagreement for all generators was +1.7% at 6 MV and 18 MV. In general, simulation results underestimated dose gradients in comparison to radiation measurements. For generators, back-scatter and side-scatter measurements were not observed through simulation, although measured at small levels to less than +1.1%. All attenuation results were found to be within -8.4% for generators.
ICPs tended to cause less dose change affect than the ICD or the CRT-D. Attenuation was noted to decrease with increasing photon energy. Marginally significant attenuation dose changes were observed only for electrode leads and connector ports, at less than 3.1% for all types studied here.

UN Expands Cash-for-Work Programme in Iraq
By Editor on 17th August 2010 in
The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is targeting unemployment in some of the areas most affected by violence and insecurity in Iraq through expanding its cash-for-work programme to reach more than 11,000 vulnerable people and help them meet their daily food needs.
The scheme provides beneficiaries with short-term employment in agricultural infrastructure projects with the long-term aim of ensuring they don't go short of food.
"Cash-for-work projects work really effectively in places where food is available in the market yet people cannot afford it — as is the case in Iraq," said WFP Country Director Edward Kallon. "This project not only gives beneficiaries a job but it secures future food production by focusing on the agricultural sector."
The UN food agency is implementing the scheme in Diyala and Baghdad governorates where many people have returned from overseas or from elsewhere inside the country to find their properties looted and jobs lost.
WFP piloted the scheme earlier this year as part of the "Diyala Initiative," which included measures to help with the resettlement of internally displaced people (IDPs), returnees and other vulnerable groups.
"Thank God for this chance — now I can buy food for my family; I bought them meat for the first time in months," said Haytham Abd Kathem, one of the 500 workers on the Diyala pilot project.
With the support of US$5 million from the United States government, this project is now being expanded so that others like Haytham can provide for their families.
Participants will be paid the Iraqi dinar equivalent of US$10 per day for a three-month period, with supervisors paid the equivalent of US$13 per day. The pay rates have been set below the average daily wage of US$13-17 for labourers, so that it benefits only the most vulnerable members of the community who might not otherwise be able to find work.
WFP is will be paying beneficiaries in cash in the beginning while exploring the possibilities of using electronic technology, such as smart cards, to facilitate payments and minimise risk.
Cash-for-work activities are selected based on the community's priorities and could include the clearing and rehabilitation of sewage and irrigation canals, tree planting, rehabilitation of farmland and improving sanitation.
While Iraq is potentially a rich country with large oil deposits, decades of war and instability have led to a deterioration in infrastructure and social services, as a result of which many people have been left poor and vulnerable. A 2008 survey estimated that 930,000 Iraqis were food insecure, with a further 6.4 million vulnerable to food security without the Public Distribution System.

More Than 12 Years Later, CBI Files Appeal In Supreme Court For Bofors Pay-Off Case.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on 2 February filed a petition in the Supreme Court challenging a 2005 order of the Delhi High Court quashing all charges against the accused in the politically sensitive Rs 64 crore Bofors pay-off case.
The CBI has filed the appeal against the HC decision by which all the accused, including Europe-based industrialists Hinduja brothers, were discharged from the case.
On 17 February, Delhi's Tis Hazari court will hear the CBI's fresh application to further investigate the case. The CBI said certain new material has surfaced that needs further probe.
The filing of the appeal assumes significance as recently Attorney General KK Venugopal had advised against going for the petition after 12 years of delay..
On 31 January, Supreme Court lawyer Ajay Aggarwal filed a petition in the apex court seeking Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra's recusal from the Bofors case, on the grounds that he acted in a biased manner on 16 January and allowed former law minister Kapil Sibal to intervene without any authority, despite repeated objections.

But as the flood-triggered humanitarian disaster continues to unfold and cast its dark shadow, the economic cost is now increasingly evident. It could have serious ramifications for the relief effort that is yet to get into full gear.
We witnessed hundreds of thousands of people on the move in Punjab province, stopping just briefly to regain strength, before continuing on along a straight road, followed by encroaching waters. It was like a flock of sheep without a Sheppard. There was no one at hand to guide these people to safer places.
Punjab's Muzzafargarh district is home to at least three thermal power units that produce much needed electricity in a country already suffering its worst energy crisis. At least one such power unit at Lal Pir has been shut down and it said to be under several feet of water. The unit in Kot Addu is surrounded by water, while the town itself is inundated.
But that's not all - Pakistan's largest oil refinery, which Pak Arab Refinery Company (PARCO) built with help from the United Arab Emirates, is now under threat. The refinery has been shut down to prevent any damage in case of flooding and many dykes have been breached to help divert the water from entering this vital facility.
The shutdown has led to hundreds of trucks being stranded on the main road from Muzafargarh to Multan. That city saw long queues as people rushed to buy dwindling supplies of fuel - a scene Pakistan's prime minister must have witnessed as he visited Multan, his hometown.
Back in Muzafargarh, the breaching of riverbanks has caused the evacuation of the district's main city. Many people who have been on the move had stopped briefly, hoping they were safe, but were also told to leave this city. Just before the waters entered the city, Banks and the National Registration Authority moved both documents and valuables to the city of Multan.
[ibimage==3358==blogpostFeaturedImage==none==self==null]After covering Muzaffargarh, we drove to the adjoining district of Layyah, where the waters had wrought havoc. Despite the fact that the water was now receding, large swathes of territory were still submerged. In some cases, entire villages had vanished without out a trace.
Some of the residents who opted to stay back to protect their homes and belongings endured an ordeal, the likes of which they had never seen. Nazar Hussain said at first, things seemed normal. He said when he and his family slept, everything was as expected, but when they woke up, they were surrounded by water.
"I called a boat owner and begged him to save my family I could hear the cries of people [calling] for help and saw dead bodies and animals being carried by raging waters."
When help arrived, he sent his children and wife to safety. "I told them I will see you if I am still alive," he said, wiping his tears.
We rented a local boat to travel into the flood waters. It was eerily quite and the heat and humidity were unbearable. Everything was surreal about this place.
Ducking and bending to avoid the branches of trees, we traveled through what were once populated villages. Now it was all gone.

Nguyen Thanh Tam from the northern city of Hai Phong was browsing Facebook last month when she came across a post seeking child models to promote a "major fashion brand's" spring 2023 collection. Her daughter, who is almost 4 four years old, loves having her photo taken. She often strikes poses when her mother brings out her camera phone. Meanwhile, the single mom is too busy with work and has little time to spend with her child. So, she's been wanting to find an extracurricular activity for her child. After signing her daughter up for the modeling gig, Tam was added to a private chat group on the messaging app Telegram where a fake talent scout asked for the baby's age, height and weight. This person later instructed her to contact a male coworker in a different chat group who would help her complete her daughter's application. The admin of the second chat group said the models could make VND7-15 million ($298-640) a month if the outfits used by the child commercial photo … [Read more...] about Parents fall for child modeling scams on social media

Q: MySQL/PerconaDB & Apache/LiteSpeed Optimizations for Magento I know it's very vague but this is more of a general question than anything as I cannot find a solid answer to my question.
I just deployed a new dedicated server and had the hosting management install Percona as well as LiteSpeed. The questions are:

*

*I see a lot of Apache optimizations as far as Magento is concerned but since I installed LSWS Enterprise does the optimization configuration tips apply to LSWS as well? Should I do those that applies to my server environment?

*Like question 1 - I had them install PerconaDB as well and I know there are a lot of MySQL tuning for Magento. Do those vanilla MySQL tweaks apply to PerconaDB as well? Or does PerconaDB has it's own configuration file that I should look in to?
Not sure if it matters but here's my server specs:
Xeon 4C/8T E3-1240V3
32GB RAM
120 GB Intel SSD
1TB HDD
1Gbps Uplink Speed

A: On LiteSpeed part, make sure you have LiteMage module enabled in your license. And you can install LiteMage extension from connect. It's a full page cache for Magento. Comparing using LiteMage and without FPC, you will see 20X difference.

You're curious about the world around you. You look at life through a scientific lens. You're fascinated by questions about the Universe—and our place within it. Physics may be the major for you.
Why Utica College
Utica College's physics major offers a robust introduction to the science of the physical world. From the basic structure of atoms and matter to the complex interactions of galaxies, our program provides students with an opportunity to explore the fundamental nature of the physical universe. With an accomplished faculty and an individualized learning environment, the UC physics program is an excellent choice for students considering graduate school as well as careers in research, teaching, engineering, or other areas that demand a strong foundation in physical science.
3-2 Engineering Program
The 3 - 2 transfer option in engineering provides the basic courses typically found in the first years of engineering programs. Students have the advantages of small classes and close contact with the faculty as they master their foundation courses in science, mathematics, and introductory engineering at Utica College, along with core courses, for a total of at least 96 hours. With this coursework completed, students transfer to an engineering school where they take junior-level engineering courses. Upon the completion of 32 hours at the transfer college (and receipt of an official transcript), students will earn a B.A. in physics from Utica College. When the students have satisfied the requirements from the engineering school, typically after another year of study there, they will earn a second degree, in engineering. In effect, one year of college work counts for the degree at two institutions, and students will have a liberal arts degree in addition to the engineering degree. This degree should be considered by those seeking a career in technical management.
