Q: Android detect Bluetooth off and stop progress dialog I am having a progress bar which keeps running until I am connected to BLE.Here is the code -
@Override
    public void Progress() {
        if (activity != null)
            activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

                @Override
                public void run() {
                    if (progressDialog == null) {
                        progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(activity, getString(R.string.wait), getResources().getString(R.string.connecting), true, false);
                    }
                    progress.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                    container.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                }
            });
    }

When the progress is running I mean when the progress dialog is being shown, if Bluetooth in Settings is disabled, I need to detect it and stop the progress and close the dialog. How do I do this in run().

A: Create one broad cast receiver for bluetooth .
So this will execute when the bluetooth enabled and disabled.
You have to register with below action.
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addAction(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_STATE_CHANGED);

In your broad cast receiver you have to right your code like below.
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    if (BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_STATE_CHANGED.equals(intent.getAction())) {
         boolean bluetoothState = intent.getIntExtra(BluetoothAdapter.EXTRA_STATE, -1)
                == BluetoothAdapter.STATE_ON;
        //when bluetooth enabled
        if(bluetoothState) {
            //hide your progress bar here
        }
    }

}

if bluetoothState is true means, bluetooth enabled and false means disabled.

A: if you want to dismiss dialog if it is already appeared and then if you disable bluetooth and want to hide dialog without doing anything in your already opened activity then you can use broadcast-receiver and for this please refer this link:
How to detect Bluetooth state change using a broadcast receiver?
or if you want to check on button click then you can try this code:
public static boolean isBluetoothAvailable() {
    final BluetoothAdapter bluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
    return (bluetoothAdapter != null && bluetoothAdapter.isEnabled());
}

A: Try like this
/**
 * Check for Bluetooth.

 * @return True if Bluetooth is available.
 */

public static boolean isBluetoothAvailable() {

    final BluetoothAdapter bluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();

    return (bluetoothAdapter != null && bluetoothAdapter.isEnabled());
}

A: /* Register BroadcastReceiver with intent action BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_STATE_CHANGED and move your notifiyng code into onReceive method. Don't forget to check if new state is OFF */

if(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_STATE_CHANGED.equals(intent.getAction())) {

` if(intent.getIntExtra(BluetoothAdapter.EXTRA_STATE, -1)
        == BluetoothAdapter.STATE_OFF)`}

A: You can check if the bluetooth is disabled with something like:
    boolean isBluetoothDiasabled(){
        BluetoothAdapter myBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
        if(!myBluetoothAdapter.isEnabled()){
          return true;
        }
         return false;
  }


I'm working on a windows store media application and I'm having a problem when I drag the application from one display to another while playing. If I drag the application from my VGA connected display to my DVI connected display I get MF_MEDIA_ENGINE_ERR_DECODE : HRESULT - 0x80004005. This happens when going to the DVI connected display only. When going the other way, the application continues to stream with no problem. When looking at the MfTrace logs I see that the method MFCreateMediaSession() is called twice immediately before the error is issued. This is confusing since there is no access to this method from a windows store app. Visually, if I don't let go of the mouse when the app has transitioned to the other display it will continue to play audio though the video window is black. Once I release the mouse button I get the error. The app has a custom source, scheme handler plus other custom media foundation pipeline components but all seem to be working appropriately. any suggestions.
I have two monitors connected to my computer. One is connected via a VGA (15 pin) connection and the other is connected via a DVI connection. If I start streaming on the VGA connected display, then while streaming drag and drop the application to the DVI connected display I get MF_MEDIA_ENGINE_ERR_DECODE : HRESULT - 0x80004005. However, if I start streaming on the DVI connected display, then while streaming drag and drop the the app to the VGA connected display I get no error and the app continues to stream. This is what I mean by "This happens when going to the DVI connected display only".
I have also tried pausing playback prior to dragging to the DVI connected display but upon resuming playback (un-pausing) I get the same error. Doing this in the other direction (DVI -> VGA) yields no error.
I have not yet tested other multi-monitor scenarios i.e. VGA->HDMI, HDMI->DisplayPort, etc.


Crock Pot Vegetarian Pesto & Walnut "Meatballs" - What a Crock!
Ok, I know what you are thinking – vegetarian meatballs? Hear me out – these turned out AWESOME. I've officially been vegetarian for one month now and I'm going strong. I thought I was going to eat some meat occasionally, but I really don't have any interest. It probably isn't helping that I'm in the middle of two food books right now – The Omnivore's Dilemma and Food Politics. As you can imagine, they are in no way critical of the industrialization of food production and applaud our treatment of animals. SO, I wanted to try this meatball recipe in America's Test Kitchen both Vol. 1 and 2 and decided to find a way to make it vegetarian. It was shockingly easy. This recipe is in two parts because I made my own pesto. Here we go!
Add all four ingredients to a food processor and pulse.
Then onto the vegetarian pesto, walnut, soy crumble balls!
A delicious vegetarian answer to meatballs.
First, make the pesto. Then set aside. Next, thaw the vegetarian crumble. I used the microwave, but stove top would work too. Pulse the walnuts and add those to the crumble in a bowl. Mix in the pesto, Parmesan, bread crumbs, eggs and salt and pepper. Pour the tomato sauce and water on the bottom of the Crock Pot. Then roll the mix into balls and place them in the Crock Pot. Cook on low for 4-6 hours. The meatballs will look dark on top - then you know they are done. Turn the Crock Pot off and unplug and let them sit for about 30 minutes. Otherwise they'll crumble. Serve over pasta or on their own.
This is what the "meatball" mixture consistency should look like.
Here are the "meatballs" before I started cooking them.
Review: If you have a food processor, this is the easiest recipe ever! These turned out way better than I thought they would. I have plenty for lunches for the week. I will definitely make these again!

I'm a bit lost as to why this is, does anyone know how to fix it?

A: I have usually seen this when I have javascript code with the <% %> block in the head section of the page.  When you move it out of the head to below the body it seems to go away in the situations I have seen.

Perhaps more than any other person in history, Jesus has been worshiped, ridiculed, and pondered by people who have lived since His time. What is certain is Jesus cannot be ignored. Who is Jesus? Why, 2000 years after His life and death, do we continue to study who He is?
Jesus was a man who lived over 2,000 years ago in what is modern-day Israel. Jesus was fully man and is also fully God. He lived a perfect life then suffered and died on the cross. Jesus is the Savior of the world, fully God and fully man.
Before we can understand a Savior, it's important to believe we are in need of one.
Sin separates us from God because God is holy. Being "good enough" will never be enough to make up for our sin. This is why we need a Savior.
Many people would rather be their own master in hell than submit to God's authority in heaven. (Getting to Know Jesus, Paul Schult, p. 70) Yet all of us are in need of a Savior.
Jesus is the Son of God, who came to the earth to pay the penalty for our sin. Jesus is our Savior.
Each name of Jesus helps us better understand who He is and His role in God's salvation plan.
Jesus was fully God and fully man. This is a mystery beyond what we can understand but we accept as truth because the Bible tells us.
In the Old Testament, there were a number of important roles God had for leading his people. Jesus fulfilled all these roles in a perfect way.
Prophet – He speaks the Word of God. Prophets in the Old Testament spoke God's truth to the the people, even when it wasn't easy to say or easy for people to hear. Jesus not only spoke God's Word but He is the Word (John 1).
Priest – He offered a sacrifice for God's people. In the Old Testament the role of the priest was to offer sacrifies at the temple for the sins of the people. Jesus offers the perfect sacrifice in the gift of himself, paying the penalty for sin once and for all.
King – He rules over God's people. Earthly kings ruled, sometimes with justice and sometimes with cruelty, but either way they led the people. Jesus is our perfect King who rules with truth, love, and wisdom.
Jesus is God's anointed Messiah, who redeems you, not with silver or gold, but with his holy, precious blood.
More than any other question in your lifetime, how you answer, "Who is Jesus Christ"? is incredibly important, both for this life and for eternity. See more here: How Do I Know If I Am a Christian?
As we continue through our study of the book Getting to Know Jesus, we focus on Jesus as part of the second article of The Apostles Creed. The creed sums up what we believe about Jesus from all the Bible teaches us.
Learn more about The Apostle's Creed here.
I am enjoying this book and study group! Thank you for hosting it ?

Cardiac Heart Surgery
Life-saving cardiac surgery available at our state-of-the-art theatre
Cardiac bypass & heart valve replacement surgery
Highly skilled team of cardiac surgeons and nursing staff
Outstanding patient care before, during and after your procedure
Surgery Prices £31,000 - £33,000
Chest, Heart & Lungs
Life saving heart surgery is now available at our new cardiac facilities at Kingsbridge Private Hospital, Belfast.
Kingsbridge Private Hospital is delighted to announce the opening of our Cardiac Surgery service and Intensive Care Unit.
Are you a patient waiting on heart surgery? We can now carry out life-saving cardiac surgery at our state-of-the-art theatre in Belfast. Our brand-new theatre has just opened and features the latest and most up to date technology and equipment.
On board we have a highly skilled team of Cardiac Surgeons and nursing staff. The service is led by Consultant Cardiac Surgeon Mr Oc Nzewi.
We offer rapid access to a wide range of procedures and our expert team are ready to see you.
What kind of heart surgery is available?
Cardiac Bypass Surgery
Closure of Septal Defect
Cardiac Bypass Surgery is the most common heart operation preformed in Northern Ireland and the UK. It is also the most effective way to treat Coronary Heart Disease in patients with a very extensive type of disease where stenting is judged to be unsuitable by a combined group of cardiologists and surgeons at the 'Heart Team' meeting. This is more so, in patients where all three arteries or two are blocked or narrowed significantly, especially if they suffer from diabetes mellitus and have reduced heart function.
The two main benefits of bypass surgery are:
alleviation of symptoms of angina
prolonged life
What is Coronary Heart Disease?
Coronary Heart Disease occurs when your hearts arteries become clogged by fatty deposits. If you are overweight or eat a high fat diet, you might be at risk of developing Coronary Heart Disease.
Symptoms include breathlessness and chest pain, and the condition can increase your chance of having a heart attack.
Having a Cardiac Bypass is major surgery and during the procedure your Consultant will need to make a series of incisions around the chest wall. They will then connect healthy veins to the clogged arteries.
At Kingsbridge Private Hospital Cardiac Unit, the Coronary Artery Bypass (CABG) is performed mostly by using the standard heart lung machine to stop the heart during the operation. However, in suitable cases, we offer beating heart surgery too.
CABG is done through a full split of the breastbone using a combination of arteries and a vein to bypass the obstruction. Arteries are harvested from under the breastbone or from the arm whilst the vein is taken from either leg. Increasingly our surgeons use more and more arterial grafts as there is evidence that arteries tend to remain open longer than vein grafts. We prefer endoscopic vein harvesting through two small incisions rather than conventional long incision on the leg.
Once your surgery is complete, you will need recovery time. This is a major procedure but could save your life.
Heart Valve Replacement repairs or replaces the damaged or diseased heart valve or valves. Out of the 4 valves inside the heart the aortic, mitral and tricuspid valves are the ones commonly involved in the disease process that needs surgical treatment.
At Kingsbridge Private Hospital Belfast, we offer aortic valve replacement with prosthetic mechanical or tissue valve for treatment of symptomatic aortic valve stenosis or regurgitation. This is commonly done through the big incision on the breastbone, but in selected cases, can be carried out through a small 8-10cm incision.
The benefit of which includes:
less post-operative pain
cosmetically better wound
We currently do not offer Transcatheter aortic valve replacement also known as TAVI.
Mitral Valve Repair/Replacement
Mitral valve is the second most affected valve, and commonly here, the disease process is regurgitation (leaky valve). In symptomatic patients, preservation of the body's own tissue by repairing the valve is better and it provides a long-lasting solution compared to replacement with a new artificial valve. This is best done by experienced surgeons with relevant training and skills in valve repair. We have surgeons on our list that are highly skilled in mitral valve repair.
This valve is less commonly involved in isolation. Tricuspid valve repair is often done as part of mitral valve surgery in selected patients. At Kingsbridge Private Hospital, we will only accommodate patients at low risk of surgery that needs concomitant tricuspid valve surgery.
At Kingsbridge Private Hospital, our expert Cardiac Consultants will replace the faulty value with either a tissue valve or a mechanical valve. This new valve will ease the pressure on your heart and help improve your overall health.
Closure of Septal Defect (hole in the heart)
A septal defect occurs where there is a hole in the heart chamber.
Symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, heart palpitations and the presence of a heart murmur. In some cases, it can also cause stroke.
The procedure involves making a small incision in the groin where a wire and sheath are introduced into the femoral vein. A occlude device is then introduced through the sheath and this is expanded within the defect to close it. Sometimes a balloon is also used to measure the size of the defect.
Why wait for heart surgery when you don't have to? Our state of the art theatre and ICU is open now. Contact us today to find out more.
Patients awaiting Cardiac Surgery can attend Kingsbridge Private Hospital as a self-funder. Alternatively, we also work with most major insurance companies.

Home / Daily ETF Watch / ETF Watch: 10 Funds Launch
ETF Watch: 10 Funds Launch
So much for a lazy summer—the ETF industry is roaring along, with 26 launches in June, and July looking to be just as busy. Today alone, 10 more ETFs from four different issuers are rolling out to investors.
iShares Debuts 4 Funds On 2 Exchanges
iShares is leading the pack, with four ETFs being introduced—two yield-focused bond funds listing on the Bats exchange and two environmental, social responsibility and governance (ESG) bond funds listing on the Nasdaq. Bats is owned by ETF.com's parent company, CBOE.
The two funds launching on the Nasdaq include the iShares ESG 1-5 Year USD Corporate Bond ETF (SUSB) and iShares ESG USD Corporate Bond ETF (SUSC). SUSB, which covers investment-grade corporate debt securities with maturities between one to five years, comes with an expense ratio of 0.12%, while SUSC charges 0.18%.
The former is basically a subset of the latter. SUSB tracks an index derived from the Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate 1-5 Years Index, while SUSC's benchmark is derived from the broader Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate Index. SUSB's index includes 543 issues drawn from 20 countries, while SUSC's index covers 2,297 issues drawn from 24 countries.
ESG Approach
"These new products are the first exposures of their kind in an ETF wrapper, and complement iShares' existing ESG suite," said Martin Small, U.S. head of iShares, in reference to the funds.
Both ETFs' indexes rely on methodologies that evaluate companies for their positive traits relating to ESG, while still seeking to preserve the risk and return metrics of the parent index. The approach first screens out companies that are involved in the tobacco and "controversial" weapons industries as well as companies that are affected by business controversies that MSCI deems "severe."
From there, the methodology evaluates each remaining company based on key ESG issues, on how those issues represent potential costs or opportunities for the firm and on how the firm responds to those costs and opportunities.
Companies are evaluated relative to their industry peer groups and with regard their geographic risk. Ultimately, they are assigned a score that takes into account how a firm performs on each key issue, and those scores are used in determining weightings, the prospectus said.
Yield-Focused Bond Funds
The two smart-beta bond funds launching on Bats include the iShares Edge High Yield Defensive Bond ETF (HYDB) and the iShares Edge Investment Grade Enhanced Bond ETF (IGEB). The funds come with expense ratios of 0.35% and 0.18%, respectively. Both target the quality and value factors, a press release noted.
HYDB tracks the BlackRock High Yield Defensive Bond Index, an index of junk bonds with a face amount outstanding of at least $350 million and at least one year of remaining maturity. Component securities must be denominated in U.S. dollars but can be issued by domestic or foreign corporations.
The fund has a significant weighting in industrials companies. The index methodology is designed to screen out securities of the companies most likely to default, and the index is optimized in such a way that is intended to enhanced its returns while limiting risk and turnover, the prospectus said.
IGEB, on the other hand, tracks the BlackRock Investment Grade Enhanced Bond Index, which targets domestic and foreign investment-grade debt denominated in U.S. dollars and having a face amount outstanding of at least $500 million. It is similar to HYDB in its design, favoring the bonds of companies that have a low likelihood of default, weighting them in such a way as to enhance returns and keeping a lid on risk and turnover.
The press release also notes that the two funds are the first to track BlackRock's own in-house indexes.
MBS Fund Fee Cut
In addition to launching four funds, iShares is drastically cutting the fee for its iShares MBS ETF (MBB). In an effort to make the fund the "tool of choice" for investors looking to access the mortgage market, the firm is lowering MBB's fee from 0.27% to 0.09%.
"By lowering the price to make the fund competitive with direct investment in mortgage securities, institutions will have a much more efficient, liquid option for dynamically managing mortgage-backed exposures," said Small.
MBB first launched in 2007 and has more than $10 billion in assets under management. It is the largest fund in the space, and the move by iShares will turn it into the second-cheapest fund as well. The $4.1 billion Vanguard Mortgage-Backed Securities ETF (VMBS) has an expense ratio of 0.07%.

Select Sloan Surname Genealogy
Sloan has Gaelic origins. The name comes from the Gaelic name Sluaghadhan, meaning "leader of a military expedition" and from shaughadh "expedition" or "raid." Sloan is the anglicized form.
The word appears in early times in both Scottish and Irish records. A certain Sluagadagh went forth to Rome around the year 966, according to the Chronicle of the Picts in Scotland. The Annals of the Four Masters recorded the name of Maelpatrick O'Shuaghadh, a Celtic bard, in 1015 in Ireland. Sloan developed later as both a Scottish and Irish surname.
Sloan, Sloane and Slone are the main spellings today.

Scotland. Early examples of the Sloan surname date from the 16th century:
William Slowane who held a tenemant in Dalkeith, Midlothian in 1504
John Aslowane who was a burgess in Edinburgh in 1562
and John Sloane who held lands in Traquair, Peebleshire in 1565
However, the greater frequency of the name at that time was on the west coast of Scotland. Sloans there included Donald Showan the sheriff of Ayr, John Sloan a merchant in neartby Maybole, and the Sloans at Kirkcudbright near Galloway. A branch of this family migrated to Ulster, while James Sloan was a prominent Glasgow merchant in the early 19th century.
William Sloan from Dalry in north Ayrshire was a 19th century missionary to the Faroe Islands. After his death in 1914 his youngest son Andrew continued the practice there. An Ayrshire farmer Andrew Sloan started Sloan's Dairies in 1911 for milk delivery in the Glasgow area. The business expanded and continued until 1972 when it was sold to Express Dairies.
Today the Sloan name in Scotland is most common in Ayrshire and around Glasgow.
Ireland. The Sloan name is mainly to be found in the Ulster counties of Down and Antrim. In fact in the southern part of county Down known as the kingdom of Mourne, Sloan is the second most common surname in the region.
Sloans of Catholic Irish origin form the larger number here. One Sloan family has been traced to the 18th century and Henry Sloan, born in Drummonds in Kilkeel parish. His descendants continue to farm there. Other Sloans were and are to be found at Attical, Glenloughlan, and Greencastle.
There were Protestant Sloans as well. Alexander Sloan had arrived from Kirkcudbright in the early 17th century as one of the Scottish planters. He settled at Killyleagh to the north of Mourne by Strangford Lough. He was of the landed or merchant class and held the office of Receiver General. Sir Hans Sloane of this family was an avid collector and bequeathed his collection to the British Museum. His name lives on as Sloane Square in London.
England. There were few Sloans from England. The largest number of Sloans in the late 19th century were to be found in Cumberland and Lancashire in NE England, reflecting either Scottish or Irish Sloan arrivals.
America. Sloans in America came from England, Scotland and Ireland, as well as a few from Eastern Europe (possibly Slones from Slovenia). The largest number, however, came from Ireland.
These Sloans in the 18th century included:
into Massachusetts. William Sloan came from Ulster to Rutland, Massachusetts in the 1720's. He and his family were later one of the first settlers of Lyme, New Hampshire.
into Pennsylvania. Hanover, Pennsylvania contained many Sloans, starting with John Sloan who died there in 1741. The Sloans of Rockbridge county in Vriginia, first evident in the 1750's, were thought to have come via Pennsylvania. Samuel Sloan was an early settler in Westmoreland county in 1768. Captain John "Bigfoot" Sloan of the same county was an officer in the Revolutionary War and a well-known Indian fighter. Andrew Sloan arrived in Pennsylvania after the War was over. His descendant Earl Sloan was the inventor of Sloan's Liniment.
and into the Carolinas. Caleb Sloan from county Antrim came to North Carolina in the 1730's. David Sloan from county Down arrived there some fifty years later and settled in South Carolina.
Australia and New Zealand. From north Ayrshire came Alexander Sloane and his wife Annabella in 1849. He became a successful cattle farmer at Mulwala, NSW. His son Thomas continued his father's merino stud farm. But he is best remembered for his collection of ground and tiger beetles and his published work on new varieties of these beetles.
Walter Sloane arrived in Auckland, New Zealand as a young lad from Glasgow in 1862. He was an inn keeper there but died apparently in Sydney, Australia.

Alufer Mining is an independent private mineral exploration and development company headquartered in London, with significant bauxite assets in the Republic of Guinea, in West Africa. Bauxite is the main commercial mineral from which aluminium oxide is extracted, which in turn is smelted to form aluminium metal.
As Guineas bauxite boom continues, it is imperative that the governments capacity to oversee the mining sector and protect the rights of community members keeps pace.
Apr 26, 20170183;32;Bok233; is the capital city of Bok233; Prefecture within the Bok233; Region of Lower Guinea near the border with Guinea Bissau. It is also a sub prefecture of Guinea.
Two years later, Malaysia ended bauxite mining for the same reason. Guinea, with the largest untapped iron and bauxite reserves in the world (see chart), offered an alternative.
Guineas fast growing bauxite mining industry is threatening the livelihoods of thousands of Guineans.
Steady state production capacity will be 5.5 million tonnes of bauxite per annum, which will add to Guineas average yearly exports of c.35 m tonnes of bauxite. The Bel Air Mine, developed by Alufer Mining (Alufer), is located in the Boffa region of Western Guinea.
Since 2015, Guineas bauxite market has grown dramatically. When Indonesia and Malaysia banned bauxite mining in recent years, the Guinean government saw an opportunity, Wormington said.
An agreement between Guinea and the mine operators states that Rusal should give back 0.01 percent of the profits from its bauxite production which is about one US dollar (77 euro cents) per ton.

Published: 20-12-2017 New cargo center at Copenhagen within two years
Dec 20, 2017 (newstodate): Within two years, Copenhagen Airport will see the commissioning of a new 20,000 sq m cargo center.
The new facility will be designed by the German developer AXXUS Capital and aiming at enhancing the handling of the growing proportion of belly cargo shipments on passenger aircraft, rather than freighters.
-Especially on the long-haul intercontinental air routes, belly cargo is a particularly important part of the business. This cargo can make up more than 10 percent of revenue on a route, says Peter Krogsgaard, Copenhagen Airport CCO.
-Today, belly cargo accounts for 40 percent of the total tonnage at CPH and is up seven percent in 2017. We are actively working to attract even more long-haul routes, so it is an important part of our strategy to create a good platform for air cargo at Copenhagen Airport, says Mr Krogsgaard.
-At this moment, it has not been decided which operator will eventually take over the handling operations, says an airport press spokesman.


[SOUND] So what about age of acquisition and, and the brain, right?
There are a couple of measures that have been used to look at brain activity.
one type of task versus another or when comparing across subjects.
what happens in their brain as they are processing some stimulus.
So this is work that's been done for many years.
Originally, studies were done in the mid to late 90s.
in fact the late bilinguals showed more activity compared to the early bilinguals.
how well they speak the second language, then I'm really, it's a mismatch.
It could be that it's proficiency.
in subsequent studies, she found that that was the case.
then the age didn't matter any more.
themselves what they did the day before morning, afternoon or evening.
And then they scanned them using functional magnetic resonance imaging.
it was essentially as if there was one big glob within Wernicke's area.
Now, when they looked at Broca's area, they found a different effect.
they found overlapping activity between the two languages.
The two languages looked like they were laid upon each other.
they found that there were two different areas, one for each language.
Now this got a lot of press, it was a big deal at the time.
It's highly cited, and there's a lot of controversy about this study.
partly because there hasn't really been a replication of that study.
before could involve lots of different things.
memories about what happened in our lives at a particular times of the day.
we don't know exactly why they observed this pattern.
And so there's a lot of controversy about this study.
So let's go back to this idea of grammar, right?
up errors in grammar, even though they had heard the language very early in life.
when a language is learned, right, and how long it's used.
One of the most well-known ones was done by Weber-Fox and Neville.
sentences that had grammatical violations.
then a group of bilinguals who had learned English at different ages.
there was a grammatical violation or a semantic violation.
there's this wave that occurs, it starts at about 200 milliseconds after a word.
that's why it's called a N400, and it's negative going wave.
This is an EG wave that's averaged across many different words.
it's thought to signify many different things.
those that occur less often or less frequently show larger N400s.
will give you a larger N400 because it's a semantic violation, it doesn't fit.
Right there sugar would give you a reduced N400 because it fits.
one of them being whether it fits in a sentence or not.
would be a change in that N400 depending on when somebody had learned a language.
And they also wanted to look at how well they spoke it.
grammatical violations can give different types of ways.
a positivity that occurs at 600 milliseconds.
indicating this extra work that needs to be taken on, to reconstruct the sentence.
semantic violation and looked at what happened across age.
group, the group that learned much, much later in life showed larger N400s.
16, began to show differences in semantic violations for the N400.
they found differences much earlier.
And for some grammatical violations, as early as age of acquisition two.
two to four, and native speakers who heard English from birth.
sensitive to when a language is learned.
meaning are much less sensitive to when a language is learned.
academic types of sentences, they're involving general knowledge.
transferred more easily from one language to the other, right?
A dog is a dog.
A chair is a chair.
There are slight difference across different countries.
those transfer quite easily and are adapted quite easily across languages.
But in terms of grammar, those don't seem to transfer quite easily.
Hence, they're quite sensitive to age of acquisition.
processing in my brain of, of a grammatical error?
that seems to be a general trend that grammar is sensitive to age.
native-like patterns, work done by Sonia Rossi and Angela Forizzi in Germany.
Worked on by Eric Pakulak and Helen Neville in the U.S.
and Oregon have also found similar types of findings.
And also worked by and in Spain.
but not very sensitive to where in the brain a signal is coming from.
because it relies on blood oxygenation and hemodynamic changes in the brain.
But it is very sensitive to where in the brain activity changes.
were high and low proficiency, who spoke a language well or did not speak it as well.
And their findings support some aspects of Weber-Fox and Neville studies.
age of acquisition and when a language was learned.
semantics that's less sensitive to age of acquisition.
there are some pieces that suggest that proficiency may play a role as well.
where we talk about language proficiency and, and expertise, and what that means.
at least in literature, that grammar is sensitive to age of acquisition.
it is a general theme that arises from the literature.

Biografia
Nata a Bala Cynwyd, un sobborgo di Philadelphia, da genitori di origine ebraica, Mirah "Yom Tov" Zeitlyn ("Yom Tov" in ebraico significa "giorno buono") cresce in una famiglia votata all'arte (la sorella è attrice e i genitori artisti).
Dopo una breve partecipazione al programma televisivo Double Dare Nickelodeon Game Show, si è dedicata alle diverse forme dell'arte, soprattutto al canto e al cinema.
All'età di 18 anni si trasferisce nello Stato di Washington per studiare alla Evergreen State College.
Dopo un anno trascorso in Norvegia, ritorna vogliosa di vivere e lavorare solo di musica. Il suo debutto avviene con l'EP Storageland (1997). Lascia la jazz-band in cui è cresciuta e forma un gruppo riot grrrl chiamato The Drivers. Il gruppo non ottiene molto successo, ma Mirah inizia a farsi conoscere.

La prima etichetta a contattarla è la YoYo Recordings, con cui licenzierà un EP di cover. Grazie a questi primi lavori viene contattata da Phil Elverum (cantautore e produttore discografico statunitense, noto per i suoi progetti musicali The Microphones e Mount Eerie), che la invita a registrare nel suo studio. Il sodalizio artistico con Elverum durerà molti anni. Nel 2000 pubblica il suo album di debutto, You Think It's Like This but Really It's Like This (K Records). Il disco viene registrato in stile lo-fi e contiene diverse influenze (musica d'autore, jazz, ma anche minimalismo e folk).
Appena un anno dopo (2001) viene pubblicato Advisory Committee, un album dalle sonorità più disinvolte e con l'inserimento di qualche elettrificazione. E' Con questo album che Mirah si afferma all'interno del panorama indipendente americano.

Mirah però non si ferma qui e avvia una serie di progetti che la portano a soddisfare il suo desiderio di sperimentare. Dopo aver parlato con Pat Maley (YoYo Recordings), realizza con la piccola Black Cat Orchestra di Seattle l'album To All We Stretch the Open Arm, registrato all'inizio del 2003 e pubblicato nel 2004. Si tratta di una compilation di cover di canzoni pacifiste, pubblicata proprio mentre gli Stati Uniti intraprendono la guerra in Iraq. Sempre nel 2003 ha pubblicato l'album Songs From the Black Mountain Music Project (K Records), che consiste in una collaborazione con l'amica designer e cantante Ginger Brooks Takahashi realizzata proprio nella cittadina di Black Mountain (Carolina del Nord) citata nel titolo.

Dopo queste esperienze parallele, ritorna con il suo terzo album ufficiale da solista nel 2004, anno in cui pubblica C'mon Miracle, registrato nell'arco di tre mesi a Olympia, dove sia Mirah che Elverum abitavano. Due brani sono stati registrati in Argentina con Bryce Panic.
C'mon Miracle è l'album più conosciuto di Mirah e contiene tracce di punk, pop cantautorale e musica latino-americana (influenza del viaggio in Argentina).

Nel 2006 pubblica Joyride Remixes, un doppio CD di rivisitazioni e remix. Al progetto partecipano The Blow, YACHT, Phil Elverum (come Mount Eerie) e Anna Oxygen.
Ritorna a collaborare con la Black Cat Orchestra (che questa volta si muove dietro il nome Spectratone International) in Share This Place: Stories and Observations (2007), lavoro discografico ispirato agli studi sugli insetti effettuati da Jean Henri Fabre. L'album è stato missato da Steve Fisk e risulta difficilmente classificabile da un punto di vista stilistico.

Nel 2009 viene pubblicato (a)spera. In questo album è presente l'utilizzo di una variegata serie di strumenti (banjo, violino, violoncello, tromba, flauto, tuba, fino alla kora).
Un'altra collaborazione per Mirah avviene con Thao Nguyen ("frontwoman" dei Get Down Stay Down), col quale realizza e pubblica l'album Thao + Mirah (2011), contenente canzoni prodotte da Merrill Garbus (tUnE-yArDs) e registrate a San Francisco.

Spieldauer: 25 Std. und 16 Min.
Philadelphia, 5. Januar 1800 - Alma Whittaker erblickt das Licht der Welt. Ihr umtriebiger, bärbeißiger Vater hat ein Vermögen mit dem Pflanzenhandel gemacht. Und auch Almas ganze Leidenschaft gilt der Botanik. Sie wächst auf zwischen den Pflanzen der prächtigsten Gewächshäuser und erfährt die beste Bildung, die sich ein Mädchen nur wünschen kann.
At the end of her bestselling memoir Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert fell in love with Felipe - a Brazilian-born man of Australian citizenship who'd been living in Indonesia when they met. Resettling in America, the couple swore eternal fidelity to each other, but also swore to never, ever, under any circumstances get legally married. (Both survivors of difficult divorces. Enough said.) But providence intervened one day in the form of the U.S. government.
In The Signature of All Things, Elizabeth Gilbert returns to fiction, inserting her inimitable voice into an enthralling story of love, adventure and discovery. Spanning much of the 18th and 19th centuries, the novel follows the fortunes of the extraordinary Whittaker family as led by the enterprising Henry Whittaker - a poor-born Englishman who makes a great fortune in the South American quinine trade, eventually becoming the richest man in Philadelphia.
It's 3 a.m. and Elizabeth Gilbert is sobbing on the bathroom floor. She's in her 30s, she has a husband, a house, they're trying for a baby - and she doesn't want any of it. A bitter divorce and a turbulent love affair later, she emerges battered and bewildered and realises it is time to pursue her own journey in search of three things she has been missing: pleasure, devotion and balance.
Después de un divorcio traumático seguido de un desengaño amoroso y en plena crisis emocional y espiritual, Elizabeth Gilbert decide empezar de nuevo y emprende un largo viaje que la llevará sucesivamente a Italia, la India e Indonesia, tres escalas geográficas que se corresponden con otras tantas etapas de búsqueda interior.
True stories inspired by one of the most iconic, beloved, best-selling books of our time. In the 10 years since its electrifying debut, Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat Pray Love has become a worldwide phenomenon, empowering millions of people to set out on paths they never thought possible, in search of their own best selves. Here, in this candid and captivating collection, nearly 50 of those people, as diverse in their experiences as they are in age and background, share their stories.

In 1977, at the age of 17, Conway left his family's comfortable suburban home to move to the Appalachian Mountains. For more than two decades he has lived there, making fire with sticks, wearing skins from animals he has trapped, and trying to convince Americans to give up their materialistic lifestyles and return with him to nature.

Yes! The Dana Biomedical Library will be moving! Twice!
Our first move will be to 37 Dewey Field Road. This will be our temporary home in order to allow for the construction of the new North Campus Academic Center. Our interim Dana Library will provide library services and student study space in a warm and cheerful environment. And, we are exploring the possibility of having it available to students 24×7!
This first move will not occur before April 1, 2013. There will be no disruption of services at the current Dana Library during first term.
Our second move is now projected for the beginning of 2016, when the new North Campus Academic Center is scheduled to open.
During the interim period all of Dana's print journal volumes and most of its books will be housed offsite; reserve material and a few other books will move with us to 37 Dewey Field. The material housed offsite will be quickly delivered to campus libraries upon request.
If you have questions about the moves, please contact us. We'll post more details here in the future.

With Sydney FC filling marquee player spot, Cahill transfer seems unlikely
Sydney FC, one of two teams reportedly making moves to bring Tim Cahill on board, has filled its Australian marquee player slot, making a move for Cahill unlikely.
Share All sharing options for: With Sydney FC filling marquee player spot, Cahill transfer seems unlikely
Noah K. Murray-USA TODAY Sports
If you want to know how important Tim Cahill is to the New York Red Bulls, just look at last night's game.
Cahill, fresh off a stupendous World Cup campaign where he scored two goals in two games, came on with roughly 15 minutes to play and his team down a goal. He won nearly every ball in the air and set up Bradley Wright-Phillips for the game-saving goal.
So when news broke that both A-League sides from his hometown of Sydney were after his signature, we got a little worried.
But it looks less likely Cahill will be departing New York now that Sydney FC has filled their Australian marquee player slot with Alex Brosque. Brosque had made more than 100 appearances for Sydney FC before jumping to Japan and the Untied Arab Emirates.
Like MLS and its designated player rule, the A-League has a marquee player rule, allowing teams to sign up to three players whose salaries are exempt from the cap. Unlike MLS, however, the marquee player spots are limited to one junior marquee player (one under 23), one foreign and one domestic.
Unless Sydney FC can figure out a way to squeeze Brosque under the AUD $2.48 million salary cap ($2.34 million American), they're probably not in the running for Cahill.
That still leaves the Western Sydney Wanderers, who were connected to Cahill via a report in The Australian. It seems a much more likely destination, as the Wanderers shed their only marquee player, Shinji Ono, in the off-season.
But again, financial concerns persist, as any A-League team would likely need support from the Football Federation Australia or another outside entity to afford Cahill's salary and transfer fee.
This summer isn't the first time Cahill has been connected to the team. He attended a Sydney derby game in January, which set off speculation he was ready for a move. It's worth noting at the time he was interested in an off-season loan move to either England or Australia.


Embedding Pinterest pins on your blog is not a delicate task anymore. Through Pinterest developer's tool, you can embed pins into your content without following any complex procedures. Pins are displayed in a smallish square along with the significant details of the pin's contributor. Pins are interactive, and users can re-pin your content directly from your website. Therefore, today in this article, we will show you How to Embed Pinterest Pins Into your Posts in Blogger.
First of all go to business.pinterest.com/widget-builder/ and sign in into your Pinterest account. The Pinterest developer page mainly consists of a widget generator that probably will assist you in embedding pins into the content of your website. Now you will see a plenty of options to play with but since, we are trying to embed pins in our website, so you have to go for "Embed Pin" from the widget builder.
To embed a Pinterest pin in your website, it is necessary to have a proper URL which should be pointing to your selected pin. Just open any pin that you like to embed in your website, and copy the full URL appearing in the address bar of your browser.
Now get back to the Pinterest widget builder, just paste the pin URL in the widget generator which you copied in the previous step. After pasting the URL, press the preview button to generator the code which you will insert in your blog.
On pressing the preview button, you will see a demo of your pin along with the two codes which you have to insert in your blog. Now go to Blogger.com >> your site >> Add a new Post >> HTML Tab >> and paste the code where you would like to see the pin to appear. Now publish your article, and that's it.
If you know basics of HTML coding, then you can use our alternative method. This method is a lot simpler, but it requires you to have a bit familiarity with HTML coding. It doesn't mean you need to be an HTML expert but a little likeness is always profitable.
First go to Blogger.com >> your site >> Add a new Post >> HTML Tab >> paste the following code where you would like to see the pin to appear.
Replace http://pinterest.com/pin/48343395972563829 with the URL of a pin which you want to embed on your site. After customizing press the publish button and that's all.
We hope this article would help you in embedding Pinterest pins in your Blogger blog. If you have any question related to this topic then, we encourage you to comment below and share your precious views with all of us.
Awesome Tutorial dude . Nowadays I have been observing that you are posting lots of basic tutorials . I know they might be helpful to the newbies but yet the tutorials are becoming more basic .
Please try to write Advanced Posts Faizan .
@Navneet: Totally agree with you bro! Faizan, I know basic tutorials are very much needed by newbies, but at least one standard tutorial must also be posted once in while.
So I tried this, as basic as it appears, and it is still not showing an image when I preview my blog post. Any ideas?
I've noticed recently that photos that I've embedded from Pinterest have disappeared from my blog and all that remain are links (not the actual photos that were once there). I'm assuming Pinterest changed the internal location of their photos and thus my links are broken. Is there anything I can do about this besides manually downloading the photos to my hard drive then uploading them to Blogger. This seems so arduous and unnecessary. I'm really rather annoyed at Pinterest about this.
How do you centre the pin - in HTML it doesn't give you option.
Is there a way to do this in the sidebar?

Centre not making treatments affordable to common man
Prime Minister of India and Prime Minister of Australia have signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in 2015 to develop the cardiac assist device. (Representational Image)
Chennai: In the presence of a Nobel Laureate, one of the famous cardiologists in the country and chairman of Frontier Lifeline Hospital Dr K.M. Cherian slammed the central government agencies for blocking the development of new instruments that would make the health treatment affordable to common man.
"The development and testing of a cardiac assist device to prevent heart failure and a heart valve from shark skin and mechanical artificial heart are yet to see the next of development due to the lack of support from central government agencies like CSIR," the senior cardiologist said.
Prime Minister of India and Prime Minister of Australia have signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in 2015 to develop the cardiac assist device.
There is a proposal to develop a bioprosthetic heart valve from shark skin. "After US and Brazil, India would have been the third country to manufacture the heart valve that is cost-effective and durable compared to the available valves in the market," he said.
Shark skin can withstand a lot of pressure and found most durable to the human body.
"The present cost of the valve is Rs 1.25 lakh and we can make it for Rs 30,000. Apart from the cost, it would create so many jobs in villages," he noted.
They also entered into an agreement with a Russian agency to make a mechanical artificial heart. As per the agreement, they would transfer the technology and train our people.
"Today a mechanical heart costs Rs 98.2 lakh. If we do it in our medical village it would cost only Rs 25 lakh," Dr Cherian said.
This project also has not taken off as the central agencies allegedly did not approve the technology transfer. During her speech, Nobel Laureate and Professor Ada E. Yonath recalled her association with Indian scientists.

Who is closer to the heart of the nation – Bowie or God?

I find these so-called Clegg gaffes rather perplexing. I'm not a great believer in either Bowie or God, although I do at least respect the former.
It's interesting to see that as far as the Telegraph is concerned, the Bowie and Pogues gaffes were far more serious than admitting to atheism, which only goes to show how times change (note also that while the Telegraph feels the need to point out who Nick Clegg is in the caption accompanying their photo, they take it for granted that everyone knows what Brian Eno looks like, even though he is rather less hirsute than he used to be).
I have to admit – I'm human – that I find it rather odd for the fan of a recording artist to list a greatest hits compilation as their favourite album or for a non-Martian to have never heard Fairytale in New York. The latter provoked an immediate reaction from one of my friends listening to him on the radio who texted me immediately (while I was sitting next to Clegg in fact, and I was planning to ask him about it if he had stuck around for a bit longer).
What's most confusing though, is that painting Clegg as a young fogey simply won't do. Young fogeys don't set fire to cacti collections, drive around America with a Fistful of Theroux or hang out with Christopher Hitchens dressed as circus freaks. It just strikes me as odd that he wouldn't have been able to answer those questions without trouble. My personal theory is that it was down to stress.
But casting Eno as a "youth" adviser? I'm not sure about the efficacy of having a youth adviser at all, but getting a man six months off from his sixtieth birthday strikes me as particularly odd. Eno strikes me as a pretty positive spokesperson for his own generation, the boomers who are slowly waking up to the fact that mortality applies to even them. Why not make him an adviser for that generation?
On God, I have to say Clegg's first answer was better than his second. In this respect, it is a moot point whether we have made progress from Ming Campbell, who always seemed to get his answers correct on the second attempt.
His first answer, on Five Live, was a straight "no". The follow up, a statement coming from his office, gushed about his agnosticism and emphasised that his children we being brought up Catholic. Without the clarification, this story would have had far fewer legs. With the clarification it makes him look like the epitome of the vacillating, anything-you-want-guv career politician. It would seem that Clegg's instincts remain sharper than his office's. The same office that nearly plucked defeat from the jaws of victory earlier this week (it's called a P45 Nick).
It does put all this Christianophobia guff into perspective. Why should a politician feel the need to bend their knee to the pope in this way if we live in such an anti-religious society?
Another MP, who shall remain nameless, sent me their Christmas card. The front of it is a perfectly charming nativity scene. On the back, there is a still more endearing and funny picture of a polar bear which came runner up. I can't help but feel that this polar bear lost out purely due to political correctness rather than any artistic merit, but where are the likes of Mark Pritchard denouncing it?
