Safari Ltd Release Further Details on their Prehistoric Animal Releases for 2014
New Addition to the Carnegie Collectibles Model Range, Ammonites and the Ascent of Man
Safari Ltd, those clever figure and model manufacturers have given Everything Dinosaur a peek around the curtain as it were and sent our team members details of the company's new product releases for 2014. Back in early September, Everything Dinosaur released details of some of the new additions to the Wild Safari Dinos and Prehistoric Life range of models and what exciting news it was, with the likes of a Suchomimus, a Pachyrhinosaurus and a Monolophosaurus being added to this not to scale range.
To read more about the new for 2014 Wild Safari Dinos model releases: New Prehistoric Animal Models from Safari Ltd.
Now we can reveal details of further new prehistoric animal models being released next year and let's start with a new addition to the Carnegie Scale Model Dinosaur Collectibles – Tyrannosaurus rex.
Carnegie Scale Model Collectible T. rex Model Available in 2014
New for 2014 a new model of the "Tyrant Lizard King"!
Picture credit: Safari Ltd
Measuring a fraction over nineteen centimetres long and with a head height of just below fourteen centimetres this new T. rex model is bound to get collectors and young dinosaur fans roaring with delight. We have a red headed model Tyrannosaurus rex to look forward to. The "red head" theory springs from the debate between two distinguished palaeontologists Bob Bakker who proposed that this dinosaur was an active predator and Jack Horner who proposed the theory that T. rex was an obligate scavenger. Jack Horner postulated that fully grown, mature individuals probably did not need to do much hunting. They could simple sniff out a recent kill made by another predator with T. rex's tremendous sense of smell and then bully the other unfortunate carnivores into surrendering their dinner. The bright red colouration on the head, would have emphasised the ferocity of a T. rex to other dinosaurs (Dinosauria probably had excellent colour vision), so T. rex could have gained an easy meal without having to hunt for itself.
A Close up of that Ferocious Red Head
Exciting News for 2014.
With the retirement of the Museum Line ammonite model, fans of prehistoric cephalopods may have been worried about how they were going to show what these extinct marine creatures actually looked like. Safari Ltd have stepped in to plug the gap and will be releasing an ammonite model as part of their Wild Safari Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Life replica series. The ammonite model measures over thirteen centimetres in length and the deeply ribbed shell has an impressive diameter of six and a half centimetres.
New Ammonite Model for 2014
Large eyes, deeply ribbed shell perhaps a model of a Pavlovia spp?
The Safari Ltd ammonite model is definitely a predator, with its large eyes and with its two longest tentacles striking out to grab prey. The replica is posed in the typical attack pose of a cephalopod, the same pose is seen in octopi, squid and cuttlefish today as they strike out at prey.
Another exciting development is the introduction of a set of five models that show part of the story of our own evolution (hominin evolution). Safari Ltd have created five early human figures ranging from an Australopithecine (A. afarensis), to our species H. sapiens via H. habilis (handy man), H. erectus (upright man), to a Neanderthal and then to us.
The Evolution of Man (and Woman)
Tracing our evolution.
These models are going to prove "handy" no pun intended H. habilis, what with the theory of evolution forming part of the teaching curriculum in the United Kingdom. Bullyland of Germany used to have a set showing the "Ascent of Man", but this six model series was officially retired a long time ago. The hominin figures range in size from 6.75 cm in height to 7.25 cm and they are intended to be sold as a blister pack (a set of models).
These are exciting times for Safari Ltd and Everything Dinosaur we look forward to hearing more about these new figures.
In the meantime, to view the range of Safari Ltd models stocked by Everything Dinosaur: Wild Safari Prehistoric World Figures.

These are very exciting additions.
The Tyrannosaurus looks awesome.The paint scheme is vert nice and the sculpt is a delight.
I can't wait for it!
The ammonite is a very cool.Not so much ammonites are made out there so it's a welcome addition.
I have two questions:
Is the 'Ascent of Man ' by Safari a toob or just a new series?
And the other:
I've heard that the Carnegie Collection has plans to introduce a second model for 2014.Is that true ?

The Ascent of Man (Evolution of Man) is most likely going to end up as a blister pack, the models have not been designed for the Toob product range. We too have heard the rumours lots of forum contributors, bloggers etc have suggested a second addition – a feathered dinosaur, a Dromaeosaur, Archaeopteryx, we know more than we are saying, let's just see how far the rumours go.


Season 4 Episode 8 plays host to the thrilling culmination of Tyrion's trial, where Oberyn battles The Mountain to determine the dwarf's guilt. This isn't what provides the good quotes in this episode, though. Here are the best Game of Thrones Season 4 Episode 8 quotes.
One of Baelish's interrogators following Lysa's death and a Lord of the Vale, Lord Royce, discusses what he knows of Baelish with Littlefinger present. He tells him he knows he's Tywin's servant, and uses this quote to highlight how extreme of a servant he is.
Baelish enters Sansa's chambers in the Eyrie to ask her why she lied for him when the Lords of the Vale were interrogating him. She tells him it's because they would have executed him if he was found guilty, and who knows if Sansa would have been included in the punishment. Baelish finds this pattern of thinking wise, saying it's wiser to gamble on a known entity than one you don't know.
Jaime smuggles some wine into Tyrion's cell for him, which is likely to be his first alcoholic drink in days, if not weeks. He is very grateful.
Some great quotes, even though they're not heavy in frequency. If the quotes from GoT Season 4 Episode 8 left you needing more, you're in luck! Check out the 52 best quotes from Season 3, as well as the two episodes coming before this in the series.

Bitcoin use in Venezuela took a success this week after a persisting electrical energy blackout appeared to restrict the power of customers to transact.
That was the conclusion of some cryptocurrency commentators as information confirmed weekly commerce volumes on P2P platform Localbitcoins fell by 40 p.c within the week ending March 9.
The blackout, which started March 7, has affected 18 out of Venezuela's 23 states whereas plunging thousands and thousands of residents of the capital Caracas into darkness for days on finish.
As hyperinflation continues to rage, Venezuelans have more and more turned to Bitcoin as a method of fee and funding amid tight controls on international foreign money. As Bitcoinist reported, Localbitcoins buying and selling was setting new information on a weekly foundation till the blackout hit — with the busiest seven-day interval seeing over 25 billion sovereign bolivars (VES) change palms.
That quantity fell to simply 14 billion the next week, the bottom fee since mid-January. Native market individuals, amongst whom Caracas Chronicles economist Carlos Hernandez, instantly attributed the downturn to electrical energy shortages.
On the identical time, hyperinflation has caught up with authorities processes to a conspicuous diploma now circulating in mainstream worldwide media.
Because the Guardian reported March 13, even the cash printers of the virtually nugatory VES face issues getting fee from Venezuela in return for manufacturing its stacks of payments. Cash provide elevated by virtually a 3rd throughout one week alone in January, a course of which solely provides to inflation. "The measuring rod has already been changed to the US dollar," economics knowledgeable Steve Hanke advised the publication.
In the meantime, the ramifications of the Venezuelan authorities's more and more precarious Petro state-sponsored cryptocurrency proceed to undermine efforts to shore up VES.
This week, a Russian financial institution regarded as supporting Petro grew to become the newest goal of US sanctions.
"The illegitimate Maduro regime has profited off of the suffering of the Venezuelan people," mentioned US Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin in a press launch concerning the transfer on Moscow-based Mosnarbank.

For 2007, TIME's annual celebration of heroes spotlights the most innovative and influential protectors of the planet
Kazutoshi Sakurai and Takeshi Kobayashi
By BRYAN WALSH AND MICHIKO TOYAMAWednesday, Oct. 17, 2007
Illustration for TIME by Yuko Shimizu
Ask most rock stars to pitch in for the environment, and they might pen you a pop tune. Kazutoshi Sakurai and Takeshi Kobayashi can do that — Sakurai is the lead singer of Mr. Children, the second highest-selling rock band in Japanese history, and Kobayashi is one of Japan's top music producers. But the two know that We Are the World can only do so much to save the earth — environmental solutions also need cold, hard cash.
That's where AP Bank — the name stands for Artists' Power or Alternative Power — comes in. Together with the Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, Sakurai and Kobayashi in 2003 founded and funded the nonprofit lending group, which finances environmentally friendly projects. The three men personally provided nearly $1 million of seed money (Sakamoto has since stepped back from the venture as he now spends much of his time abroad), which is channeled to small-scale, sustainable schemes that mainstream banks would typically shun in favor of lending to bigger, stodgier companies. The bank has provided money for projects ranging from a recycling program in the far south of Kyushu to the construction of an eco-resort in the Marshall Islands. "When I thought about what I could do as an individual, the environment came up," says Kobayashi, AP Bank's president. "Money for the sake of money isn't great, but money is a tool, and people can use it as a community."
Kobayashi and Sakurai are decent bankers — it helps that they have a former manager at the monster Japanese lender Sumitomo Mitsui on board — but they're better musicians, so they've augmented AP Bank's lending program with an annual festival designed to raise money and awareness for the environment. Japan's pampered pop stars might not have as finely tuned a sense of activism as those in the U.S. and Europe, but Kobayashi and Sakurai have the clout to draw their peers and their multitudes of fans toward environmentalism — and to demonstrate how much can be achieved when celebrities find innovative uses for their fame. "I think that because they started this movement, it's helped ordinary folks become aware of environmental problems and finance," says Kazuyuki Tsuchiya of the green group A Seed Japan. It's the least a couple of rock-star bankers can do.

In order to offer the most effective mental health services possible, it is critical to provide counseling when and where the patient can access the treatment — like when they see their primary care provider. This model of health providers working together to serve the needs of the patient is called Collaborative Care.
McAuley Health Center received a grant from the Federal Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) in 2017 ito implement Collaborative Care, specifically mental health services.
As a result of the grant, I was hired as a full-time Licensed Professional Counselor with the McAuley Health Center. I am on site during clinic hours if patients wish to meet immediately or schedule a future appointment. Most patients want to talk right away, and it's great that we are usually able to accommodate them.
Being healthy is about physical health and positive mental and spiritual well-being. It's about feeling comfortable with yourself and the way things are in your life at the moment. It's not about perfection, but progress. Sometimes it takes one conversation with a therapist or it may take a few. Either way, talking about and expressing issues that may have been affecting you negatively and building up inside can lead to a happier and healthier you.
Come see us. Come see me. I'd like to talk.
An additional story was written about this grant on the Detroit Mercy website.

Religious exemption to Ogden's non-discrimination ordinances?
For nearly a year now, the city of Ogden has been working toward passage of non-discrimination ordinances similar to those in Salt Lake City and other Utah municipalities. Just at the culmination of this process, as the ordinances were ready to go to the City Council for a vote, a new proposal surfaced — a religious exemption clause. This clause would allow employers and property owners to continue discriminatory practices if they claim that they are doing so on the basis of their religious beliefs.
As currently written, the ordinances only apply to businesses with more than 15 employees and property owners with more than four rental units.
Officially, no changes to the current language have been proposed, but according to James Humphreys, who has been involved in the process from the start, the Ogden City Attorney has contacted some members of the City Council to discuss their feelings about including the exemption. City Councilmember Amy Wicks indicated that she had not been contacted directly by the Mayor's office or the City Attorney, or that lobbying of other councilmembers had taken place.
Though, including this clause will render the ordinances useless, according to Wicks, as anyone could claim religious beliefs as a basis for discriminatory practices. "We may as well not even have the ordinances if we do that."
Including this new language in the ordinances creates a difficult situation for supporters, such as Humphreys, forcing them to potentially now stand against legislation that they have worked toward for years. There are many, such as Wicks and Humphreys, that are frustrated with these last-minute changes. Wicks stated that she "thought we came up with something that worked for Ogden in providing protections in housing and employment."
"I believe it is imperative we have as close to a unanimous vote and approval from the mayor," said Humphreys. "It is much easier to convince our (LGBT) community to trust the administrator appointed by the mayor if this happens. Should we have a 5–2 vote and give the mayor reason to veto and he does … then we have to override the veto and force implementation. Unfortunately this will make it that much harder to convince our community to trust that their concerns in these matters will be taken seriously. It is important we work hard to prevent this later scenario."
Mayor Godfrey was unavailable for comment at press time, as were other members of the City Council and Pastor Mallinak of the Berean Baptist Church, who had expressed concerns regarding the ordinances.

If you have ever had a habit you know how difficult to break. It is no different for smokers. For some, smoking has become part of them owing to the time they have spent smoking. There seems to be a wave of people embracing health and wellness, this has caused some smokers to decide to quit altogether.Lately, it is like there is some awakening to the need to be healthy causing many to stop smoking.
There some creative ways that have come up to help smokers have an easier transition. E-vaping is an example of such methods which refers to inhaling vapor made of harmless components as you would a cigarette.
The advantages of e-liquid are many. To begin with, those on a journey to quit smoking can do so without facing adverse effects of nicotine withdrawal. This has been made possible by the fact that nicotine can be added to e-liquid to curb this. This has enabled smokers to pick an e-liquid depending on their nicotine needs.
E-vapor is cheaper than cigarettes hence saving you money. This is because the government is looking to control smoking by increasing their prices. Because of this, many will decide to stop smoking as has become a costly habit.
Use of e-liquid has made it possible for smokers to maintain their lifestyle as they quit smoking. This is because you can still take smoke breaks at work, enjoy the hand to mouth movement that has somewhat been ingrained in your muscle memory and yet not take up the harmful components of a cigarette. This comes as a convenience for those who are apprehensive about all the changes that come with quitting smoking.
With the use of e-liquid you can avoid the bad smell that comes with smoking cigarettes. E-vapor does not have the odor associated with smoking. With the use of e-liquid, the worry that you smell like cigarettes is far from your mind enabling you to enjoy social events. Due to the fact that e-vapor is socially acceptable, you can attend social gatherings that you could not as a smoker.

Barriers to International Technology Transfer - pocketboek
The importance of technology transfer to innovation and wealth creation is now recog nised by most governments. As the policy debate has intensified, however, it has become clear that the problem of encouraging successful transfer is complex, and requires an interdisciplinary approach. The collection of papers in this volume is deliberately diverse. It offers perspectives from economics, sociology, science, engineering and public administration, and also from outside academic life, from those involved at the 'sharp end' of technology licensing and administering government research programmes. Contributions are also drawn from a rangeofnational backgrounds-the authors are drawn from ten countries, from through out Europe and North America. The main focus for the papers was a NATOAdvanced Study Workshop, which took place at the National Institute ofEconomic and Social Research, London, in September 1995. Unfortunately time and space has prevented all of the contributions appearing here, but all those who attended played an important role in making the event such a success. Thanks are also due to Dr Alain Jubier and his colleagues at NATO, without whose support and advice the seminarcould not have take place, to my fellow organising committee members Dr Katalin Balazs, Dr Linda Parker and Professor Steve Woolgar, and to Monica Miglior who, in addition to assisting in the conference organisation, pro vided detailed notes on sessions which helped greatly in later analysis.

Barriers to International Technology Transfer
Most governments now recognise that effective technology transfer is vital to innovation and competitiveness, but the process by which ideas flow from universities to industry is complex. Several barriers can be identified: technological, cultural, legal and financial. Such problems have often been seen in isolation, but it is clear that the problem of encouraging successful transfer is complex, requiring an interdisciplinary approach. The collection of papers in this volume is deliberately diverse, offering perspectives from economics, sociology, science, engineering and public administration, drawn both from within and outside academic life, from those at the sharp end of technology licensing and the administration of government research programmes. The range of national backgrounds of the writers encompasses ten countries. Audience: Those seeking to sell and acquire new ideas, particularly across national boundaries; policy makers and strategic planners in business and universities; academics in a range of science, technology and social science disciplines.

Cladding lawsuits move forward in Grenfell Tower; Does U.S. have cladding issue too?
As lawsuits move forward in London's June 14 Grenfell Tower fire, U.S. reporters and agencies are examining U.S. buildings for cladding issues as well.
After the Grenfell fire, the British government found samples of cladding material used on 75 buildings failed combustibility tests.
"The International Building Code adopted by the U.S. requires more stringent fire testing of materials used on the sides of buildings taller than 40 feet. However, states and cities can set their own rules, said Keith Nelson, senior project architect with Intertek, a worldwide fire testing organization," according to an Associated Press story.
The Associated Press found a U.S. company, Arconic, promoting that shimmering aluminum panels were used in the city-owned Cleveland Browns NFL stadium, an Alaskan high school and Baltimore Marriott Waterfront hotel.
From AP news:
"Those same panels — Reynobond composite material with a polyethylene core — also were used in the Grenfell Tower apartment building in London. British authorities say they're investigating whether the panels helped spread the blaze that ripped across the building's outer walls, killing at least 80 people.
"The panels, also called cladding, accentuate a building's appearance and also improve energy efficiency. But they are not recommended for use in buildings above 40 feet because they are combustible. In the wake of last month's fire at the 24-story, 220-foot-high tower in London, Arconic Inc. announced it would no longer make the product available for high-rise buildings."
"Determining which buildings might be wrapped in the material in the United States is difficult. City inspectors and building owners might not even know. In some cases, building records have been long discarded and neither the owners, operators, contractors nor architects involved could or would confirm whether the cladding was used."
"That makes it virtually impossible to know whether the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront hotel or Cleveland Browns' football stadium — both identified by Arconic's brochures as wrapped in Reynobond PE — are actually clad in the same material as Grenfell Tower, which was engulfed in flames in less than five minutes."
Read more from the AP story.
Meanwhile, two class-action lawsuits are moving forward against Arconic.
Posted July 19 in the US Glass News Network:
"The manufacturer of architectural panels used on London's Grenfell Tower that was destroyed in a deadly June 14 fire is facing two class action lawsuits. The company says it plans to "vigorously" fight the allegations, which claim the manufacturer defrauded investors.
"Michael Brave and Frank Tripson, investors in U.S.-based Arconic, filed separate lawsuits in a New York federal court accusing Arconic of violating the Securities Exchange Act. They claim the company made false and misleading statements, or failed to disclose information, regarding alleged fire-hazard concerns about its Reynobond PE product, which was installed on the Grenfell Tower. This, the lawsuits claim, artificially inflated Arconic's stock prices, which fell approximately 15 percent following news that the panels were used on the building and have partially recovered since. …
"Arconic confirmed in a June statement that it supplied Reynobond PE to a fabricator that 'used the product as one component of the overall cladding system on Grenfell Tower.' The company added, 'The fabricator supplied its portion of the cladding system to the facade installer, who delivered it to the general contractor. The other parts of the cladding system, including the insulation, were supplied by other parties. We were not involved in the installation of the system, nor did we have a role in any other aspect of the building's refurbishment or original design.' "
Click for the rest of the story.
Also in July, at a Facades+ AM conference in Austin, cladding was examined as a unique architectural element. Click for photos.
From Archpaper.com:
"As part of the opening discussion panel, titled Digital Design and Fabrication Frontiers, principal at OTA+, Kory Bieg demonstrated how aluminum composite panels can be used to make three-dimensional structures such as arches and vaults. Speaking to The Architect's Newspaper (AN), Bieg described how he used parametric design tools such as the Kangaroo plugin for Grasshopper to design Caret 6."
"The vaulting structure, designed and fabricated by his Design V Studio at the University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture, was part of an exhibition on metal structures in 2013. Caret 6 is comprised of large folded panels and responds to a brief that called for a structure using aggregation, weaving, and stacking techniques to create an assembly that could transition from a flat surface to a volumetric enclosure."


The public is hereby informed that letters conveying various sanctions levied against students of Fourah Bay College (FBC) for various acts of gross indiscipline, were recently given to the affected students, following the meetings of Court and Senate of 18th and 20th December, 2012, respectively.
The University Court had the painful duty to re-affirm disciplinary decisions which had been made on August 1, 2012, but which the students had resisted resulting in threats and multiple acts of vandalism, and general indiscipline.
It should be recalled that following the disturbances in the operation of the end of the Second Semester activities of the University in August 2012, a process of investigation was initiated which culminated in disciplinary actions against those found guilty. Having been informed by the Administration of their rights to appeal as stipulated by the Universities Act 2005, most of the affected students appealed and their appeals were considered by the Legal and Discipline Committee, which is a Court constituted committee set up to consider such appeals. The report of the committee recommended mitigation of the penalties which had been meted out at the conclusion of the initial investigation. Expulsions were reduced to two years suspension and two years suspension to one year.
It must be stated that these considerations were for students who had appealed and appeared before the Appeals Committee. A number of students did not appeal.
A second set of investigations involved student leaders who led actions of inciting students to rebuff warnings of disciplinary actions by the Administration. These acts of defiance contributed to the scenes of violence and destruction of University property, seen on the national television in August 2012. Letters conveying Senate's decisions have been sent to these students and they too have been informed of their rights to appeal.
The University has a clearly defined pathway to address issues of discipline and appeals. This pathway, which is available to students, is clearly encapsulated in the Universities Act 2005 and is being followed by the Administration.
Affected students and the general student body are therefore advised in their own interest to follow due process as captured in the university regulations and avoid situations that would threaten peace and progress as well as attract further disciplinary action.
Parents, Guardians, the Public and all citizens are urged to support the emphasis on discipline in every aspect of the University's life, so that this great heritage of our beloved country will accelerate the production of men and women of character and discipline to propel our country to peace, progress and prosperity.
Signed this 4th day of January 2013.

Q: Forcing an AsyncStream[A] into a Seq[A] in scala I am specifically using twitter's AsyncStream and I need to take the results of concurrent processing, and make it into a Seq, but the only way I've managed to get working is horrendous. This feels like it should be a one liner, but all my attempts with Await and force have either hung or not processed the work.
Here's what I have working - what's a more idiomatic way of doing this?
  def processWork(work: AsyncStream[Work]): Seq[Result] = {
    // TODO: make less stupid
    val resultStream = work.flatMap { processWork }
    var results : Seq[Result] = Nil
    resultStream.foreach {
      result => {
        results = results :+ result
      }
    }
    results
  }

A: Like @MattFowler pointed out - you can force the stream and wait until it's complete using:
Await.result(resultStream.toSeq, 1.second)

toSeq will start realizing the stream and return a Future[Seq[A]] that completes once all the element are resolved, as documentated here.
You can then block until the future completes by using Await.result.
Make sure your stream is finite! Calling Await.result(resultStream.toSeq, 1.second) would hang forever.

Cut each apple quarter in thirds crosswise and combine in a bowl with the zests, juices, 1/2 cup sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice.
Roll out half the pie dough (see right) and drape it over the pie pan to extend about 1/2 inch over the rim. Don't stretch the dough; if it's too small, just put it back on the board and re-roll it.
Fill the pie with the apple mixture. Brush the edge of the bottom piecrust with the egg wash so the top crust will adhere. Top with the second crust and trim the edges to about 1 inch over the rim. Tuck the edge of the top crust under the edge of the bottom crust and crimp the two together with your fingers or a fork. Brush the entire top crust with the egg wash, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar and cut four or five slits.
Dice the butter and return it to the refrigerator while you prepare the flour mixture. Place the flour, salt and sugar in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse a few times to mix. Add the butter and shortening. Pulse 8 to 12 times, until the butter is the size of peas. With the machine running, pour the ice water down the feed tube and pulse the machine until the dough begins to form a ball. Dump out on a floured board and roll into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Cut the dough in half. Roll each piece on a well-floured board into a circle, rolling from the center to the edge, turning and flouring the dough to make sure it doesn't stick to the board. Fold the dough in half, place in a pie pan and unfold to fit the pan. Repeat with the top crust.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) as a Therapeutic Option for Patients with Atopic Dermatitis (AD) – Own Experiences and Literature Review
Romuald Olszański,
Maciej Konarski et
Piotr Siermontowski
The paper discusses the treatment results of ten patients with severe atopic dermatitis (AD) who did not respond to standard pharmacotherapy and underwent hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Each patient was subject to 10 oxygen exposures at pO2 2.5 ATA (~ 250 kPa) with the duration time of 60 minutes. In the period of implementation of the hyperbaric procedures the general treatment plan was suspended for all patients while maintaining typical local treatment. Clinical evaluation was performed in the study group as well as determination of levels of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgG, IgM and IgE and C3 and C4 complement. All patients indicated clinical improvement and a decreased IgE immunoglobulin and complement C3 level upon the completion of the exposure cycle. Taking into account the authors' own observations and data from literature, an overall improvement in the clinical status and a decrease in the level of immunoglobulin E and C3 complement following a cycle of exposures may be indicative of an immunomodulating HBOT effect on AD, whereas hyperbaric oxygenation may constitute a therapeutic option for some patients with AD, especially those exhibiting a poor response to standard treatment.

Changes observed in the core body temperature of divers are the result of a multifaceted response from the body to the change of the external environment. In response to repeated activities, there may be a chronic, physiological adaptation of the body's response system. This is observed in the physiology of experienced divers while diving. The purpose of this study is to determine the immediate and delayed effects of hyperbaric exposure on core temperature, as well as its circadian changes in a group of three experienced divers. During compression at 30 and 60 meters, deep body temperature values tended to increase. Subsequently, deep body temperature values showed a tendency to decrease during decompression. All differences in core temperature values obtained by the group of divers at individual time points in this study were not statistically significant.

The Effect of Breathing Mixtures on Physical Capacity of Rats in Hyperbaric Conditions
Tadeusz Doboszyński,
Bogdan Łokucijewski,
Piotr Siermontowski,
Marek Rejman et
Romuald Olszański
The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of composition of various breathing mixes on physical capacity of rats swimming in hyperbaric conditions. The said effect was determined on the basis of results of a swim test performed in a pressure chamber. The study was performed with the use of atmospheric air, a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen (N2/O2) at a ratio of 89.5/10 and 92/7.5, as well as a mixture of argon and oxygen at a ratio of 79.5/20 (Ar/O2). The tests were conducted at a pressure range between 0-4 atm. The results suggest that the physical capacity of the tested animals decreased along with pressure increase regardless of the breathing mix used. Due to the fact that the burdening of rats with physical effort in hyperbaric conditions intensifies the adverse effects of components of breathing mixes on their performance, it seems appropriate to continue the study of physiological responses to breathing mixtures of various compositions in human body subjected to physical effort while under water.

The Effect of High Pressures on the Radiological Image of the Maxillary Sinuses in Divers
Stanisław Klajman,
Kazimierz Dęga,
Janusz Torbus et
Zbigniew Wlazłowski
The barofunction of paranasal sinuses is of great significance in terms of diving safety and comfort. The paper aimed at determining the changes in the aeration of maxillary sinuses as a result of diving activities on the basis of a radiological image. Inter alia, it was observed that individuals who frequently practise diving show persistent changes in the radiological image of sinuses, however, usually they do not influence the diving capacity.

Multi-Agent Responsibility for a Tragic Accident in Water
Wojciech Wiesner
In relation to EU countries, the level of safety on Polish waters is still low. The drowning rate in our country is two times higher. Since 2013, there has even been an increase in the number of drownings. Typically, following each incident, attention is focused on the quality of work of the rescue services, however, there are multiple factors to be considered when seeking where responsibility for this state of affairs actually lies. In contemplations, the main subjects of analysis were external threats (atmospheric conditions, legal conditions, trends in water recreation) and threats generated by various groups of waterrelated subjects (administrators, service providers, rescuers, cleaning and medical services, participants enjoying recreation on or in the water). The purpose of this article is to present the issues of water safety from the perspective of the responsibility of various subjects, which are active in this environment. The attractiveness of recreation in or on water results largely from the emotions caused by increased risk. Often the greater the danger, the greater the attraction. At the same time, it is accompanied by an increased sense of security, excessive self-confidence and excessive trust, which weakens the natural defense mechanism. Hence, so many accidents in the water are caused by the victims themselves. In the article we are looking for an answer to the question about the reasons for such a phenomenon.

How fast can my data be transferred?
It is very difficult to estimate the duration of a migration. Because Migrator relies entirely on Google's APIs to move data, there can be a lot of variability in how long a user's migration will take.
We can provide an approximate rate of data transfer for the five Google services that can be migrated. For all services other than Gmail, we generally see speeds of 500MB to 1GB per user per hour. For Gmail, Migrator can move around 12,500 emails per user per hour.

Since moving to Cincinnati this summer, I have taken on a new, fascinating, innovative, and unique job. While I described it on my first day on the job, I wanted to describe it a bit further here.
With a job title of Director of Community Engagement and Development, I am the sole employee of MOve2CINCY, a new initiative to grow the Modern Orthodox community in Cincinnati. While part of my job is oriented towards community retention, the big focus of serving as MOve2CINCY's Director of Community Engagement and Development is recruiting Modern Orthodox families to Cincinnati.
The primary geographic focus of my targeted Modern Orthodox young families will be those living in such high-density population areas such as Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and Boston, since Cincinnati offers key lifestyle advantages over such big city-living, yet while retaining big city amenities.
The key advantages are short commutes, family-friendly community warmth, and housing affordability (especially since, as the Nishma survey of last year found that most Modern Orthodox families have three or more children, with 81% of families having two or more children). Cincinnati has major sports teams, great arts & culture around town, and many jobs available with a major corporations headquartered here, so it still retains a feel of a sizeable city.
A secondary geographic focus is in the opposite direction: recruiting Modern Orthodox families from smaller-sized Jewish communities, attracting them with our Jewish infrastructure and amenities. With a few Orthodox shuls in town, a Kollel, a mikveh, and a handful of kosher restaurants, not to mention a JCC, Jewish Federation, and much more, Cincinnati offers a healthy and meaningful Jewish lifestyle for young Modern Orthodox families, especially those coming from smaller communities.
While the position did not require someone with my rabbinic background, it certainly helps in understanding the Jewish world, organizations, and, of course, Jewish knowledge. It also, of course, helps me in tapping into rabbinic networks, which is an advantageous aspect of having hired a rabbi to fill the position. I would say that this position primarily consists of three broad areas: relationship-building, marketing, and community-building. While the marketing aspect may not have come from my rabbinic background, the other two aspects do. The job largely plays to my strengths, which I enjoy deploying in the service of this worthy effort in community growth.
One of the aspects that contributes to its uniqueness is that it is the only professional position fully dedicated to encouraging Modern Orthodox Jews to move to a particular American city. There has been a trend in recent years for Modern Orthodox Jews, largely living in the American northeast, but in other major cities, as well, looking to leave such metropolitan areas in search of more affordable housing and a kinder lifestyle for families. As such, there is a need on the behalf of families to want to leave such cities, and the Modern Orthodox community of Cincinnati wants to be on the radar of those searching and help them find what they're looking for. Cincinnati's Modern Orthodox community is already sizeable and is seeking to develop into a more robust such community.
And my job is to help them get there.

TEACH DISCUSSION GUIDE

Download the TEACH Discussion Guide today!
Partner: Participant Media
Directed by Academy Award® winning filmmaker Davis Guggenheim and narrated by Queen Latifah, TEACH is a feature length film that follows four teachers throughout their year educating students and doing the extraoridnary work they do in educating our youth. TEACH. It's not a job, it's a mission.
The Teach Discussion Guide is intended for students, parents, educators, administrators, and general audiences interested in organizing or facilitating a screening of the documentary TEACH. The guide can be implemented in community screenings, workshops, or house parties, and can easily be adapted for use at home, in the classroom, or for a professional development workshop. Each suggested activity has been created to facilitate dialogue surrounding the issues explored in this 90-minute documentary special.
Every member of the community has a role to play in supporting our teachers, and in turn, keeping public education strong, vibrant, and innovative for every American child. There is a substantial amount of information in this guide, so it is up to the host or facilitator to decide which activities are most useful and relevant for his or her event. Facilitators should consider audience, timeframe, and venue as they read through this guide.
The "Viewing Guidelines" section offers activities for groups, families, or individuals before, during, and after watching the film. These activities are opportunities for viewers to make connections between the documentary and their own experiences, as well as to encourage a robust conversation. For screenings that are accompanied by a panel discussion, material from the "Questions for Further Discussion" can be used to prompt thoughtful dialogue. Because one of the primary objectives of the film is to inspire real-life change, there is a comprehensive section that can help each of us make a difference, by giving back to our teachers and helping students - both individually and through established organizations. By engaging with this guide, audiences will deepen their understanding of the film's content, and will be provided with the tools to help turn inspiration into action. Participants can also access the official website, www.takepart. org/teach, to learn more about inspiring the next generation of great teachers – and even find out how you can become a teacher yourself!
We all have had a teacher who's shaped us, inspired us, even scared us, and whom we can credit with having empowered us to become who we are today. To look at education in America, Davis Guggenheim brings us his third documentary "TEACH," which asks the question, What does it take to be a teacher? Offering a rare glimpse inside four public school classrooms, Guggenheim invites us to follow the struggles and triumphs of America's education system through the eyes, minds, and hearts of its most essential resource: teachers. Intense and emotional, this year-in-the-life of four public school teachers illustrates how tenacity, innovation, and a passion drives these educators as they navigate the ups and downs of the 2013 school year.

Get in touch at Dolphin IBC
Dolphin Indoor Bowls Club in Poole, Dorset is now using a 22 inch Touch Screen TV to display league and competition results, explains Brian Hobby, Club Secretary.
At Dolphin, we have 27 leagues in the winter and 10 leagues in the summer, as well as 19 club competitions in the winter. We had been thinking for some time of a way to reduce the amount of paper and space required to display the results each week for all the leagues and club competitions.
After getting feedback from the members saying how good it was that they were able to view the results on their iPads, iPhones, laptops and computers at home, we thought about a touch screen TV for the foyer area in the club.
At a meeting with Bespoke4business, the team behind Bowlr, we showed them what we would like to see on the TV and they said that it was doable. We then worked on the layout and made it as straightforward as possible, with the home page displaying just our logo and two options - leagues and competitions.
By pressing the League icon, this takes you to a page listing all of our league games, at which point you select which game you wish to view. The actual view of the leagues is the same as you would see on a computer from the Bowlr system. For the competitions, these are all displayed once you select the option and you choose which competition you wish to look at before the draw is presented.
The screen is updated every 15 minutes, so members are able to look at the results before leaving the club if they wish. Our members have given nothing but positive feedback about the Touch Screen TV. If you're thinking of having one at your club, it does require an internet connection. We would recommend doing this via Ethernet cable to speed up the internet to the TV, as we found that using it via WI-FI was a little slower.
Are you sick of lengthy administration times and piles of paperwork? Modernise your bowls system with Bowlr, and streamline every aspect of your organisation online! Get in touch today on +44 1202 684400.

I've been running for about a year now and still using the same running shoes (Saucony) – I am running for about 5km at least three times a week and currently aiming for a 10k race!
I was a bit curious about how often should I change my running shoes? I don't have any problems with it, they are fine but a bit dirty.
How often you need to change out your running shoes depends on how long you have been running in them, and how many miles you have put on them. Certain people find that their shoes wear down faster than others. This is typically because of the specific way you run and your individual foot strike, as well as factors like size and weight. Most experts agree that 300-500 miles of running is about when shoes need to be changed out. For some runners, that's only every couple of months and not that big of a deal. But if you're sticking to a high-mileage training plan or training for an endurance race like a half, full, or ultra-marathon, then you'll log 300-500 miles more quickly than you can afford to buy a new pair of $100+ shoes!
For this reason, it's a good idea to keep the "300 miles" rule in mind, but to know yourself. One way you can tell that it's time for a change is that you start to experience foot or ankle pain that typically isn't there. If it's pain from needing to change your shoes, it'll feel like a dull, aching pain because you have worn down the support and cushioning in your shoes' soles. Another way to check for "shoe doneness" is to test their flexibility. Most training shoes are cushioned, but also stiff and sturdy. If you can easily bend the toes of the shoes back, it is time to switch them out. Similarly, if your shoes are showing other signs of exterior wear and tear, such as holes, and stretched-out heels, you need to replace them.
If you've been running in the same pair of shoes for a year and a half, it is probably time for a new pair. Test their flexibility and then I advise going to try on a new pair. It might be that you have gotten used to the way your tired, old shoes feel and that once your feet are in something new with lots of support, you will know that your old shoes aren't actually giving you the stability you need.


Just a quick conditions update for Mt Hood.
Took the left option in Pearly gates and found a short step of ice, maybe 5-6 feet. Followed by maybe 10 meters of low angle ice. It is in great conditions for those comfortable on water ice.
Downclimbed the mazama chute. All the old chute routes are in and straightforward steep snow climbing.
Saw several parties heading up DKHW and am interested to hear a conditions report there. Based on the ice in the gates I expect the headwall to be in shape with good ice.
My 17th and first solo Hood. Well, except for the rest of the hoard.
Less painful in the dark.

7 Mar 2007 : Column 2039W—continued
Mr. Lancaster: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department pursuant to the answer of 19 February 2007, Official Report, column 120W, on Oakhill secure training centre, how many hours on average young offenders spent out of their rooms in a 24-hour period in the latest period for which figures are available. [122839]
Mr. Sutcliffe [holding answer 23 February 2007]: During January 2007, trainees spent an average of 13 hours and 40 minutes out of their rooms.
Mr. Lancaster: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department pursuant to the answer of 19 February 2007, Official Report, column 120W, on Oakhill secure training centre, what the annual sickness rate amongst staff was in the last period for which figures are available. [122840]
Mr. Sutcliffe [holding answer 23 February 2007]: During 2006, the annual rate of sickness leave for operational staff was 9.6 per cent. and for non-operational staff, 7.0 per cent. These figures have been supplied by the Youth Justice Board and relate to employees of the contractor, G4S Justice Services. They do not include those employed by sub-contractors, for example providing health care or education services.
Mr. Lancaster: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the answer of 19 February 2007, Official Report, column 120W, on Oakhill secure training centre, how many staff were
7 Mar 2007 : Column 2040W
in post in the last day of each month since January 2005; and what the proposed establishment level was on each date. [122842]
Mr. Sutcliffe [holding answer 23 February 2007]: The staff-in-post figures are set out in the following table. They have been supplied by the Youth Justice Board and relate to employees of the contractor, G4S Justice Services. They do not include those employed by sub-contractors, for example providing health care or education services. Establishment figures are commercially sensitive and cannot, therefore, be disclosed.

Month and year Staff in post
Mr. Austin Mitchell: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) where he plans to situate his new passport application offices; and what the population is within 20 miles of each; [123630]
(2) how far away, in miles, from Grimsby the nearest passport application office will be following the planned opening of new offices. [123631]
Joan Ryan: The proposed locations for the 69 interview offices are included in the following list.
The passport interview network will provide an office within 15 minutes travelling time for just over half of the population of the UK and over 95 per cent. of the population will live within one hour's travelling of an office.
A small number of potential applicants, estimated to be less than 0.7 per cent. of first-time passport applicants (4,000 out of 600,000 per annum), live more than an hour's journey from an interview office. For this group we are putting in place secure video-conferencing links with the customer visiting a partner organisation, for example, local council premises. We currently plan to have remote interview facilities in 25 locations; however we are still consulting with regional stakeholders and are considering additional locations.
We have placed a document in the Library of the House of Commons setting out the planned network.
To provide an analysis of the population within a 20-mile radius of each of the 69 interview offices would incur a disproportionate cost. The interview office closest to Grimsby will be in Kingston-upon-Hull, a distance of approximately 33 miles.

Police Custody: Death
Mr. Bellingham: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has received on a public inquiry into the death of Paul Day in custody; whether he has plans for further study of the issues arising from the death; and if he will make a statement. [124723]
Mr. Sutcliffe: I reiterate my condolences to Mr. and Mrs. Day, whom I met at the culmination of a process which included a series of internal investigations overseen by a panel on which sat the chief inspector of prisons and Mr. and Mrs. Day, an extensive coroner's inquest, and a series of follow-up discussions between Mr. and Mrs. Day and the then deputy director general of the Prison Service.
Learning from Paul Day's death has contributed to significant change in prison segregation units. I have no plans to commission further studies.
Dan Norris: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what further measures the Government plan to take to protect children and young people from pornographic material made available through file-sharing programmes. [125364]
Mr. Coaker: All published material is subject to the Obscene Publications Act 1959 (OPA). Under this Act, it is a criminal offence to publish any article which is considered to be obscene; that is, an article, which, in the view of the court, tends to 'deprave and corrupt' a person who is likely to see, hear or read it. This is a flexible test which has been shown to apply to material
at a lower threshold where children are likely to access it. The OPA applies equally to material published over the internet, including material made available through file-sharing programmes.
The Government, through the Home Secretary's Task Force for Child Protection on the Internet, are also promoting the development of a BSI kitemark for computer safety software which will help parents and carers choose the most effective technical means of protecting children from unsuitable internet-based content and services, including those which prevent the use of file-sharing software. There is also to be new Safety Software Sub-Group of the Taskforce to encourage internet and software services to seek accreditation, encourage take-up of the software by parents, and to ensure a process for review and updating the standard if it proves effective.
Prison Service: Public Appointments
Mr. Bellingham: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment he has made of the recent appointments to the deputy governor posts at (a) HM Prison Whitemoor and (b) HM Prison Pentonville; whether the appointments were considered alongside the investigation conducted by Mr. Ron Tasker into performance standards issues at HM Prison Wandsworth; who was responsible for authorising the managed moves; whether the appointments were made following open competitions; and if he will make a statement. [125303]
Mr. Sutcliffe: The process of new deputy governors being appointed to both prisons was managed, and was not as a result of open competition. Managed moves are used where it is in the business interests of the service to do so, including ensuring effective succession arrangements, and are fully in line with service policy. In these cases, the moves were approved by the relevant operational director. The appointments are unrelated to Mr. Tasker's investigation.
Mr. Bellingham: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what factors he took into account in appointing the former London Area Manager to a new role within HM Prison Service; from which Department's budget within the organisation his role is financed; whether this appointment was advertised in accordance with HM Prison Service's policies and procedures and awarded as a consequence of open competition; and if he will make a statement. [125304]
Mr. Sutcliffe: Mr. Keith Munns, who has retired, has been retained by the Deputy Director General of the Prison Service to support the completion of a report originally commissioned by Mr. Munns. Mr. Munns is currently working on a fee-paid, sessional basis, where no competition is required, and costs are met from the Deputy Director General's budget. Given his experience, it is likely that Mr. Munns will be asked to undertake other, specific work on the same basis.

Q: ASP.net button onclick send querystring I have the button:
<asp:Button runat="server" OnClientClick="return ValidateNewMessage();" OnClick="PostComment" ID="AddCommentButton" CssClass="nice-button" Text="Add Your Comment" />

It is on the URL:
blog/42/gregre-re-greg-er-g/comments-6#comments

When I click the button, it takes me to:
blog/42/gregre-re-greg-er-g/comments-6?ID=42&comments=1&page=6

This is making my scripts work strangely, I really need the button to just keep it's URL format and not include the querystring data, is this possible easily?  So fater clicking it, the page is still:
blog/42/gregre-re-greg-er-g/comments-6#comments

The post comment method is as follows:
/// <summary>
/// Post a comment
/// </summary>
public void PostComment(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    CommentResponse CommentResp = CommentCommon.NewComment(NewComment.Text, this.ThisUser.UserID, this.Anchor);

    if (!this.ThisUser.IsLoggedIn)
        CommentResp.Status = CommentError.NotLoggedIn;

    // Error messages
    if (CommentResp.Status == CommentError.CommentsPostedTooQuick)
    {
        DiscussError.Visible = true;
        DiscussErrorMessage.Text = "You are posting comments too quickly";
    }
    else if (CommentResp.Status == CommentError.ExceededCommentsPer3Mins)
    {
        DiscussError.Visible = true;
        DiscussErrorMessage.Text = " You are posting comments too quickly";
    }
    else if (CommentResp.Status == CommentError.NotEnoughChars)
    {
        DiscussError.Visible = true;
        DiscussErrorMessage.Text = "Comment is not long enough";
    }
    else if (CommentResp.Status == CommentError.NotLoggedIn)
    {
        DiscussError.Visible = true;
        DiscussErrorMessage.Text = "You are not logged in";
    }
    else if (CommentResp.Status == CommentError.UnspecifiedError)
    {
        DiscussError.Visible = true;
        DiscussErrorMessage.Text = "Unspecified error.";
    }

    // Posted ok, redirect to last page
    if (CommentResp.Status == CommentError.Success)
    {
        int TotalComments = CommentCommon.CountComments(this.Anchor);
        int TotalPages = (TotalComments + Settings.CommentsPerPage - 1) / Settings.CommentsPerPage;
        Response.Redirect(this.PageNavURL.Replace("$1", TotalPages.ToString()) + "#comments");
    }

}

The problem occurs when the status ISN'T success, when it redirects it works fine.

A: The following code does the redirect.
Response.Redirect(PageNavURL.Replace("$1", TotalPages.ToString()) + "#comments");

The URL appears to be based on the PageNavURL property. You need to change that property or the code so it results in a different URL.
