MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, 13 January 2011 -- Mindoro Resources Ltd (TSXV: MIO; ASX: MDO; Frankfurt: WKN 906167) today announced that it has raised an additional C$0.18 million by completing a second closing of its Private Placement which was previously announced on 22 November 2011. The Company has issued 1,534,783 Common Shares / CDIs to qualified investors in connection with the second closing. CDIs have been issued to investors in Australia, with the underlying common shares deposited with the CHESS Depository.
Mindoro's President and CEO Jon Dugdale commented, "We are very pleased to have raised a combined C$1.4 million under the current Private Placement in difficult market conditions. We continue to work with our major shareholders and other interested investors to raise additional funds targeted under this Private Placement."
On 2 November 2011, the Company announced commencement of a process aimed at securing a strategic financing partner for the Agata Nickel Project, with the goal of accelerating a two-stage development strategy. A number of parties, mostly from the Asian region, have expressed strong interest in the project and are conducting assessments before finalising preliminary proposals. The Company is working with its financial advisor, Deloitte Corporate Finance Pty Ltd ("Deloitte"), to advance discussions and negotiations during the first quarter of 2012.
Jon Dugdale further commented, "We are encouraged by the strong level of interest being expressed in financing the development of the Agata Nickel Project. This highlights the strategic advantages that the project has, including location on a protected coast-line, no forest or significant population on the resource and outstanding metallurgical characteristics for both thermal and hydrometallurgical processing."
To allow the Directors to subscribe for securities in the Company by way of Private Placement at a price no less than the current Private Placement, which is C$0.12 per share and A$0.115 per CDI. Total subscriptions by directors will total approximately C$0.17 M. Under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, Directors were unable to participate in the current Private Placement as specific approval is required from shareholders to enable Directors to participate.
To freshen up the Company's placement capacity. ASX Listing Rule 7.1 restricts the number of securities which a listed company may issue in any twelve-month period without the approval of shareholders to 15% of the number of shares on issue at the start of the period, subject to certain adjustments and permitted exceptions.
Shareholder approval will enable the Company to exclude these issues from the calculation. Thus at any time in the next twelve months the Company may issue up to the extent permitted without further reference to shareholders, thereby providing the Company with considerable flexibility in meeting any short-term requirements for raising additional capital should it be necessary.
Full details of the above matters, including the proposed resolutions, will be distributed to shareholders with the formal notice of meeting, management information circular and accompanying proxy form in the required timeframe.
All securities issued under the current Private Placement are subject to the regulatory four-month hold period in Canada and cannot be traded on the TSX Venture Exchange or be resold in Canada during this period, unless an exemption is available from the applicable prospectus requirements in Canada. CDIs issued in Australia will be tradeable on the ASX but will not be convertible to Common Shares in Canada during the four-month hold period applicable under Canadian securities regulations. The Company has implemented appropriate controls with its share registries to ensure Canadian regulatory requirements are met.
The Private Placement is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Company is in full compliance with its continuous disclosure responsibilities and no information has been withheld from disclosure in reliance on a confidentiality carve-out. Specifically, the Company gives notice under paragraph 708A(5)(e) of the Australian Corporations Act (Act) that the CDIs were issued without disclosure under Part 6D.2 of the Act. As at the date of this notice, the Company has complied with the provisions of Chapter 2M of the Act as they apply to the Company and section 674 of the Act. As at the date of this notice, there is no excluded information of the type referred to in sections 708A(7) or 708A(8) of the Act.
Neither the Common Shares nor the CDIs have been registered in the United States, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction where such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

(director: Georg Wilhelm Pabst; screenwriter: Kurt Heusser; cinematographer: Bruno Stephan; editor: Lena Newmann; music: Herbert Windt; cast: Werner Krauss (Paracelsus), Mathias Wieman (Ulrich von Hutten), Harry Langewisch (Fliegenbein), Fritz Rasp (Judge), Martin Urtel (Johannes), Annelies Reinhold (Renata Pfefferkorn), Victor Janson (Mayor); Runtime: 104; MPAA Rating: NR; producer: Fred Lyssa for Bavaria Film; Transworld Films; 1943-Nazi Germany-in German with English subtitles-B/W)
"The Pabst film is ambiguous about its mystic subject."
The liberal Austrian-Hungarian born director and former actor, G. W. Pabst ("The Joyless Street"/"The Threepenny Opera"), considered by many critics as the most influential German director, under the wartime Third Reich, helms a biopic on the 16th century Swiss physician, healer, alchemist, astrologer and mystic, Philippus von Hohenheim, who went by the name Paracelsus. This is the only film made about this warrior physician, who identified with the common people, and because of his flaunting of the medical rules the authorities forced him into exile. The man of the people was ridiculed by the establishment Swiss doctors for not going by the book in his treatments and of following unapproved magical practices. He was further ridiculed and oppressed for choosing to write in German instead of the accepted Latin.
The film was adapted from one of the 1941 books on him, an historical fiction novel by Pert Peternel called Der König der Ärzte (The King of Physicians), and is scripted by Kurt Heusser.
Some critics call it a propaganda film for Hitler. I'm not sure if that's quite right, as Pabst might have made the film during the Nazi era but tried to make it an anti-establishment film bringing up social and political issues. In other words, it was not a Nazi film.
Paracelsus is reinvented to make him an iconic German superman (or a national folk hero). I give Pabst credit for trying to not completely bend to the Nazi ways to make this a propaganda film, but by making any film under the Nazis and having it uncensored was not possible.
I only think parts of it are watchable, as this is not one of Pabst's better films (anyway, by the 1930s he was losing some of his skills he had when making successful silents in the 1920s). Here, many of the subplots are inane and most of the narrative is muddled.
In the 1940s many of the German people, especially the intellectuals, considered Paracelsus a good inspiration for the Nazi movement and looked favorably upon him as one of them. That I'm afraid is a mistaken notion, he was anything but a forerunner for Nazism but, on the contrary, a colorful visionary at odds with his countries feudalism, outdated medical practices and with them worshiping false prophets. He was a man of Northern Renaissance thought, seeking to make the world a better place and not destroy it with hatred.
The Pabst film is ambiguous about its mystic subject, carefully choosing to embrace contradictory values about him–ones that would seemingly fit and not fit with the Nazi ideology. But in reality, Paracelsus' principles are contrary to those of his Nazi admirers. Pabst, I assume, had a difficult time working this line of ambiguity to get the film past the crazed film censor–the Nazi fanatic Joseph Goebbels.
Paracelsus (Werner Krauss) is pictured as this crusty guy, full of praises for the Germans and their noble virtues, and someone willing and able to treat people from all over for their ailments through the healing powers he was blessed with.
In the film's money scene, the thing it's best remembered for (or should be), Death is depicted in the person of a juggler (Harry Langewisch), costumed to look like Goebbels and whose jerky movements resemble a Goebbels still beset with muscle spasms from his polio days. The juggler enters a town overrun by the plague and invites the citizens to join him in a victory dance, but he's slain by Paracelsus. Realism and fantasy are interchanged, as the director shows off his arty stuff and ability to get dramatic when necessary.
Paracelsus is a drama by a filmmaker who returned to Germany from Paris at the war's start and at a time when many talented German filmmakers (like Fritz Lang) were leaving the country.
Later on Pabst made The Trial (1948), a strong film that was a rebuke of anti-Semitism, which helped restore in the West his tainted image of working with the Nazis. Also, after the war he regained his creative powers and continued to make powerful anti-Nazi films such as The Ten Last Days (1955).

Being overly judgmental, or inappropriately judgmental, makes life harder on yourself and on others.
Everyone has, built up over the years, an ability to make many different kinds of judgments: is this person tall? Do I like this person? Is this person good or bad? (More on What is Judgment?) Our ability to make judgments about someone or something is endless.
However, not all judgments are relevant or useful. For instance, if we are trying to walk across a crowded room, the question we need to answer is: is this person in my way, and if so, how do I get around him or her? It does not help us to ask: is this person a wizard, do I like this person, etc; within the context of the situation, the objective is to walk across the room, and the purpose of our judgments is therefore to find us a way across. In this way, being self-aware keeps us focused so we don't get flooded with too many judgments and information, causing us to lose track of our goal and get and feel lost.
This is a key point: judgments are used to achieve objectives. That is the time and place for them. The same judgement, this person is tall, can be used in many contexts: when you're choosing a basketball team, you may bias taller players, but if you're choosing a limbo team, perhaps not. However, not all objectives are made equal.
Let's say you're at a party with friends. Your judgments will probably be focused on what is fun. If you're at a social event, your judgements will probably be focused on what you find interesting. If you're at a business event, you're probably focused on networking. These are harmless, non-personal judgements.
If you have a superiority complex, or are insecure, your judgements will be about whether or not such and such is better or worse than you or others for this or that reason. If you have an ego, believe you can do God's work, or don't have respect for other people's opinions and lives, then perhaps you'll be deciding whether someone is good or bad or worth anything or not. These personal judgements are what make the world a worse place, because the objectives they support are either hurtful to others, or hurtful to yourself by promoting delusion and blindness. Social anxiety comes from this, and the way to beat it is to not feed it.
If you learn to be aware of your judgments, and understand good objectives from bad, you can focus better, achieve more, and be a better person.
What is judgment (verb)? Judgment is an act of drawing conclusions from observations, usually to answer a question.
How do we judge? We use our judgement (noun) or intuition, which is built up over time with experience and pattern recognition. It is based on a set of judgment criteria, that we can call a rubric. This rubric is just like a rubric in school–it varies by assignment, subject, teacher, school, and person.
Why do we judge? To answer a question, gain knowledge, make a decision. Is it blue? Is it big? Is it dangerous? Do I have anything in common with this person? Is it better or worse than something else? Do I like this person? What should I do?


Bob's Machine Shop has just launched a new line of jack plates for smaller boats with lower-hp engines. The lightweight Mini Jacs feature a smaller footprint and, depending on the model, will handle engines up to 50 hp.
High-performance boaters use jack plates for more speed, better fuel economy and improved boat handling. In recent years, jacks have also become popular with fishermen and pleasure boaters who operate in shallow water.
Mini Action Jacs come in two models: The standard version weighs 40 pounds and has same dimensions as BMS's regular jack plates. It fits the standard BIA bolt pattern and provides 6″ of hydraulic lift. The other is a narrow version only for clamp on motors.
Bob's Machine Shop's jack plates use hi-tech bearings that will not absorb water. They also feature automobile-type grease fittings – a unique feature among jack plates.


Los Angeles (AP) – "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows" is a Saturday morning cartoon on Michael Bay steroids. For the under 12 set, that's fine. For the rest of us? It's something to actively avoid.
Not that a live-action "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" sequel owes anything at all to an adult audience, but in an age where comic books of every stripe are tailored to be must-sees for ages 8 to 80, it's a little disarming to find one hopeful franchise that is really and truly for kids. They're the one audience who will just let the nonsense wash over them.
This "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" sequel, produced again by Michael Bay and directed by Dave Green ("Earth to Echo"), is so inane that they essentially have to resurrect the main conflict from the first, when the four pizza-crazed reptiles took down Shredder, New York City's resident bully. "Out of the Shadows" kicks off with Shredder (played this time by Brian Tee instead of Tohoru Masamune) breaking out of a police convoy, and effectively escaping the Turtles' nunchuck-wielding, manhole cover launching garbage truck/war machine.
The objectives of the bad guys are a little grander this time. Shredder teams up with the mad scientist Baxter Stockman (Tyler Perry, chewing the scenery somewhat gloriously) to try to open up a portal to another dimension so that Krang — a truly grotesque disembodied alien brain that one of the Turtles refers to as "chewed gum with a face" — can take over Earth. I think. It involves portals and black holes and a purple ooze that can change humans into animals. Baxter explains that all humans have a latent, essential animal in their genes. With a swift dart to the neck, he transforms the thugs Bebop (Gary Anthony Williams) and Rocksteady (WWE star Stephen "Sheamus" Farrelly) into a warthog and rhino.
The plot, of course, is over-the-top gobbledygook. A conflict-of-the-week done on a massive, hundred million dollar scale, that pauses from the set-pieces once in a while to leer at Megan Fox. Her April O'Neil is, in her first five minutes on screen, made to wear a tiny schoolgirl outfit that she changes into mid-stride in a public place.
And then there's Laura Linney — three-time Oscar nominee and general class act Laura Linney — playing the skeptical police chief for some ungodly reason.
You need look no further than the fluttery vocal stylings of Brad Garrett's Krang to really know that this is just a more expensive, high-definition version of the thing you used to watch in your pajamas while eating a bowl of cereal. If that sounds like a good thing, "Out of the Shadows" might be for you. But for most of us, the joys that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were able to provide had a definite expiration date, and no amount of CGI-spectacle or professional athlete or supermodel cameos are going to change that.
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows," a Paramount Pictures release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "sci-fi action violence." Running time: 112 minutes. One star out of four.

Bottlenose dolphins recorded for the first time in Canadian Pacific waters
A large group of common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) have been spotted in Canadian Pacific waters - the first confirmed occurrence of the species in this area. The sighting is reported in a study published in the open access journal Marine Biodiversity Records.
On 29 July 2017, researchers from Halpin Wildlife Research, in collaboration with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Canada and the Department of Environment and Climate Change, Canada, observed a group of approximately 200 common bottlenose dolphins and roughly 70 false killer whales (Pseudorca crassidens). The sighting occurred off the west coast of northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada and may be the northern most recording for this species in the eastern North Pacific.
Luke Halpin, lead author of the paper, said: 'It is surprising to find a warm-water dolphin in British Columbian waters, and especially to find such a large number of common bottlenose dolphins within the group."
Halpin added: "The sighting is also the first offshore report of false killer whales in British Columbia. To see the two species traveling together and interacting was quite special and rare. It is known that common bottlenose dolphins and false killer whales seek each other out and interact, but the purpose of the interactions is unclear."
Both common bottlenose dolphins and false killer whales typically live in warm temperate waters further south in the eastern North Pacific, but this sighting suggests that they will naturally range into British Columbia, Canada when conditions are suitable. There has been a warming trend in eastern North Pacific waters from 2013-2016 and the authors hypothesize that the trend may be the reason behind this unusual sighting.
Halpin adds: "Since 2014 I have documented several warm-water species: common bottlenose dolphins, a swordfish and a loggerhead turtle in British Columbian waters. With marine waters increasingly warming up we can expect to see more typically warm-water species in the northeastern Pacific."

The Arm Band Signifies that the wearer is in mourning or wishes to identify with the commemoration of a comrade or team member who has died. This use is particularly common in the first meeting following the loss of a member. In sports such as football and rugby, it is common for a team to wear black armbands in their next match after the death of a former player or manager. This may also be accompanied by a moment of silence at the start of the match.
We supply our Black Armbands to Premier League clubs, League clubs, sports clubs, and any individual wanting to pay their respect.

Sicyopterus lagocephalus, the red-tailed goby or blue stream goby, is a species of goby native to islands of the Indian Ocean from the Comoros to the Mascarene Islands to the Pacific Ocean where it reaches French Polynesia and can be found as far north as Japan. It is an amphidromous species: adults can be found in swift-flowing streams with rocky beds but the eggs hatch at sea and the larval stage remains in marine waters, migrating to freshwaters when they reach the postlarval stage.  This species can reach a total length of . In some places it is an important species for local consumption with the post-larvae being caught as they mass in estuaries.

Description
Male Sicyopterus lagocephalus can grow to a total length of about  while females can reach . The dorsal fin is divided in two and has 6 to 7 spines and 9 to 10 soft rays. The anal fin has a single spine and 10 soft rays. The pectoral fin has about 19 soft rays. During the rainy season, males become very colourful; the sides are metallic bluish-green, the tail is orange-red and there are about seven dark, saddle-shaped markings on the back. Females are grey or brown with dark saddle markings, a pale belly and a black and white band at the base of the tail.

Distribution and habitat
This species has a wide distribution in the tropical Pacific. Its range extends from Sri Lanka and the Mascarene Islands to Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Australia, the Marshall Islands and French Polynesia. Adults live in fast-flowing streams with rocky beds while the larvae live in the ocean.

Ecology
The female S. lagocephalus lays its eggs in fresh water. After hatching, the larvae repeatedly rise towards the surface of the stream and then sink down again; this helps them to get carried along by the current. They consume their yolk sacs and will die if they do not reach the sea within about seven days. On arrival in the marine environment they are between  long, and start to feed on plankton. They are translucent at this stage and remain at sea for somewhere between 133 and 256 days before getting the urge to migrate back into fresh water. The post-larval stage starts as they enter estuaries. They have already developed suction discs, but now they undergo metamorphosis, their mouths move from the tip of the snout to the underneath of the head, they begin to develop pigment, the pectoral fins transform, the tail loses its fork, they grow teeth on the premaxillae bone, changes occur in the cranium and changes in osmoregulation take place. As the rake-like teeth push through, they start to feed on diatoms and algae that they scrape off the substrate. After two days in the estuary, the juvenile fish move upstream, overcoming small waterfalls with the aid of their suction discs, and after about three or four weeks of migration start to take up territories in the fast-flowing streams where they will breed.

Efter badet (em português: "Depois do Banho") é uma escultura pública, esculpida em calcário e localizada no distrito de Västertorp, na periferia de Estocolmo, capital da Suécia. A escultura foi projetada pela escultora sueca Pye Engström, que passou cinco anos trabalhando nela, entre 1971 e 1976. Desde 1976, está localizada fora do Västertorpshallen, um banho público municipal. É construído como um banco, no qual os visitantes podem sentar-se no colo de sete diferentes figuras políticas representadas por Engström. Da esquerda para a direita, são elas: Elise Ottesen-Jensen, Paulo Freire, Sara Lidman, Mao Zedong, Angela Davis, Georg Borgström e Pablo Neruda. O site oficial do Museu da Cidade de Estocolmo afirma que a artista trabalhou diretamente na pedra de calcário, sem partir de esboços.

Controvérsias
A escultura tem sido a fonte de controvérsia nos últimos anos. Em 2006, Martina Lind, uma política local do partido sueco "Liberais" propôs à Assembleia do Município de Estocolmo que a estátua fosse retirada da exibição pública, afirmando que a cidade "não deveria homenagear um dos piores assassinos em massa da história", referindo-se ao líder chinês comunista Mao Zedong. Ela também pediu que monumentos dedicados às vítimas da União Soviética e da China fossem criados em Estocolmo.

Em 2010, Madeleine Sjöstedt — uma proeminente política municipal, também pertencente ao Partido Liberal — chamou atenção para a obra Efter Badet novamente, e, em vez pedir sua remoção, ela exigiu que as autoridades responsáveis colocassem um sinalização ao lado da escultura, fornecendo informações sobre os "crimes contra a humanidade cometidos por Mao e pelo comunismo". O político da oposição do Partido Social-Democrata sueco, Roger Mogert, comentou que a estátua "não era um problema". A escultora Pye Engström explicou a escolha dos retratados dizendo que "eram figuras importantes da década de 1970", e mais tarde afirmou que não tinha nenhum problema com as autoridades da cidade colocando uma placa na escultura, desde que a placa fornecesse informações sobre todos os retratados na escultura. A última posição adotada pela prefeitura foi a de não retirar a representação, mas colocar as placas informativas sobre cada uma das figuras retratadas.

No Brasil, no período das eleições de 2018, circulou um boato de que a escultura seria uma homenagem a pessoas que mudaram a educação no mundo, referindo-se a Paulo Freire. Entretanto, entre as explicações públicas dadas pela autora da obra, a principal é a de que as figuras retratadas são figuras mundiais relevantes na época em que a estátua foi feita, entre 1971 e 1976. A figura de Paulo Freire é respeitada entre os países nórdicos.

Q: How to replace "as" tool with the x86 version on REHL? I ran into below problem on RHEL while using gcc to compile a C file.
 [test]$ gcc hello.c
 as: unrecognized option '-Qy'

Then found my "as" is the MIPS version:
 [test]$ as -v
 GNU assembler version 2.13.2 (mips-dec-ultrix42) using BFD version 2.13.2

So I tried to remove MIPS utilities and reinstall x86 gcc and x86 binutilites by issuing:
 sudo yum erase binutils-mips64-linux-gnu.x86_64
 sudo yum install gcc-4.4.6-4.el6.x86_64
 sudo yum install binutils-2.20.51.0.2-5.34.el6.x86_64

But the problem still occurred. Anyone has any clue on how to replace my "as" with a x86 version?
BTW, Linux release info is as following:
  [test]$ lsb_release -a LSB Version:

Alzheimer's: What Treatments Are Available and What Do They Do?
Some medicines can improve quality of life and delay certain symptoms
Credit: iStock
There is no cure for Alzheimer's, but there are medicines that may improve quality of life and delay some symptoms of the disease. Counseling and other therapies may also be recommended.
Currently there are four drugs approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat the symptoms of the disease for some time, but they cannot stop the disease itself. Not every drug will be helpful for every person with this form of dementia.
Information about the four currently approved drugs — and about treatments that we know do not work — can be found on these sites:
NIH Alzheimer's Disease Education and Referral Center provides an overview of currently approved drugs, how they work and their potential side effects.
The Alzheimer's Association offers resources on drug and non-drug treatments, and advancements in research.
Behavioral Changes
As the disease progresses, a person with Alzheimer's may experience a variety of symptoms, such as sleeplessness, agitation, wandering, anxiety, anger and depression. Drug and non-drug treatments are available to manage these symptoms and behavioral changes. Treating them often makes patients more comfortable and helps caregivers keep them safe.
The NIH Alzheimer's Disease Education and Referral Center has details about current research as well as the types of treatment and approved medications.
The Alzheimer's Association has information about behavioral changes, what triggers them, and ways to cope and treat these symptoms.

The oldest aviation museum in the country has had an eventful week with the repositioning of an iconic airliner and a lottery donation of more than £60,000.
The de Havilland Aircraft museum, in London Colney, was awarded a £62,200 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund on Tuesday (12) to develop its £1.5 million hangar that will house outstanding aircraft.
That brings the current fundraising total to nearly £500,000, enough to begin 'groundworks' on the hangar, according to a de Havilland spokesperson.
Mike Nevin, marketing director at the museum, said: "The new hangar is the most ambitious project on which the museum has ever embarked since it opened to the public in 1959.
The previous Wednesday (6) also saw a momentous move for the museum when, for the first time in 60 years, the last original de Havilland Comet jet airliner left the ground to make way for the works.
The aircraft, which is a star exhibit at the museum, was lifted by a 50 ton hydraulic crane and moved 30 yards to its new position.
Brian Kern, Comet project leader at the museum, said: "This Comet is the only one of the first batch built to survive entirely unaltered with its square windows, so it was a very anxious moment when it was raised and moved.
Minus its wings, tail, engines, undercarriage, flight deck and all internal fixtures and fittings, the aircraft was donated to the de Havilland Museum in 1989.
It is currently being restored and will take pride of place in the new hangar, on which work is expected to begin by the middle of March.

About the Ear
Middle Ear Perilymph Fistula
May 19, 2019 - by	Preview - in About Dizziness, Ear Problems, Medical
Middle Ear Perilymph Fistula is a rare condition where there is a tear or hole in one or both of the small, thin membranes (the oval and the round windows) between the middle and inner ear resulting in a leak of perilymph into the middle ear.
There are many causes for this and include:-
i)External trauma such as skull fractures & boxing.
ii)Implosive traumatic events where there is a rapid increase in middle ear pressure which ruptures the round window. This is seen in descent in an aircraft (round window fistula), a slap injury to the ear, scuba diving (the round window ruptures at 1.12 atm i.e. 1.2m under water), acoustic trauma (oval window fistulae), car airbag injury and suppression of a violent sneeze.
iii)Explosive traumatic events where a rapid increase in brain fluid (cerebrospinal fluid pressure) is transmitted to the round window: this is seen in child birth, weight lifting and vomiting.
Diagnosis is based on a possible precipitating event, symptoms, signs and investigations.
The symptoms are very variable and include unsteadiness & spinning vertigo. The dizziness may be induced by loud noises ( the Tullio Symptom/Phenomenon) or by raised intracranial pressure induced by sneezing, blowing nose, heavy lifting or coughing (Henneberts Symptom/Phenomenon). The duration of the dizziness can be minutes to hours and may increase with activity (round window fistulae), coughing, sneezing, or blowing ones noses and may be relieved by rest. There may also be a complaint of sudden or fluctuating hearing loss, oversensitivity to sound (oval window fistulae), a feeling of ear fullness or buzzing (oval window fistulae) in the affected ear. Some patients complain that their ear "popped" and report difficulty in thinking, anxiety, neck stiffness, headaches and meningitis.
Physical signs are a positive Henneberts sign, where pressing on the tragus of the affected ear induced upwards and intortion of the eye, and a positive Singleton's "Eyes closed turning" test.
Investigations include pure tone audiogram (low-frequency hearing loss), tympanogram, CT temporal bone/MRI, ECOG's and surgical exploration.
Spontaneous healing occurs in 90% of cases (with advice to avoid such activities as airplane travelling, scuba diving and heavy lifting), there may be a role for insertion of ventilation tubes 'grommets". Surgical exploration and repair is considered in cases

I swear I had to check three times to make sure this wasn't from a parody site. But apparently Samsung thinks the future of dining is wearing a virtual reality headset while you're eating. And to top it all off, the VR makes it look like you're dining underwater. With dolphins.
You dine on the first course of the meal in a garden in Tuscany, surrounded by flowers with a winery in the distance. You adjust your Samsung Gear VR glasses as a cool wind blows and you catch the rich fragrance of the gardens. But when your main course arrives, you now find yourself underwater with dolphins playing and fish swimming. Your Italian table setting has been transformed into an underwater experience and the light in the room has changed to reflect the underwater scene. You can even see bubbles arising from your drinks and water splashes on the table in 3D.
Now imagine that all of this occurred without leaving the Ibiza hotel, or the seat you were in. The magic you see, hear, taste, smell and feel comes from virtual reality technology. By using Samsung Gear VR, restaurants can take the already sensory experience of dining to a new level. While there is a wow factor to using this cutting-edge technology, the impact of virtual reality is a natural fit for restaurants that want to create a complete experience around a meal, not just serve a plate of food.
Re: At your fave Kef taverna?
I suppose I could wear one showing Kef in my local North London restaurants/takeaways "Greekylicious", yes it's really called that, and Kouzina, then I would at least be eating the right food !!
Presumably the guy's dining companion isn't too happy about the arrangement. And some peeps might not be able to get the food in their gobs with their eyes covered!
Dining in Birmingham is such a wonderful experience that I would never wish to pretend I was anywhere else. Anyone who has visited the Balti Triangle can confirm that. Ah, Sparkbrook in the moonlight with the aroma of the gasworks and the distant scream of muggings. Who would want to be anywhere else?

USS Monitor var ett amerikanskt krigsfartyg konstruerat av John Ericsson. USS Monitor var ett av historiens första bepansrade, ångdrivna krigsfartyg och användes av nordsidan under det amerikanska inbördeskriget.

Historia
Konceptet grundade sig på en idé som Ericsson hyst ända sedan han flyttat till England 1826. När han såg de mäktiga linjeskepp som gjorde att Storbritannien kunde härska över de sju haven började han fundera över hur Sverige, med sina blygsamma resurser, skulle kunna värja sig mot sådana jättar. Hans lösning var en flotta av små maskindrivna, bepansrade fartyg med låga fribord och ett centralt placerat vridbart kanontorn.

Under 1850-talet hade Ericsson kommit så långt med propellerdriften att han kunde förfina sina idéer och framställde då planer och ritningar på sitt nya örlogsfartyg. Redan bränd av den engelska konservatismen ansåg han det onödigt att lägga fram planerna för den engelska amiraliteten, utan sände dem istället till Napoleon III i hopp om att han, pressad av det pågående Krimkriget, skulle låta bygga en flotta av Ericssons fartyg för att bekämpa ryssarna. Napoleon nappade inte på idén, men skickade tillbaka planerna tillsammans med ett artigt brev där han tackade för visat intresse.

I början av det amerikanska inbördeskriget fick man i Washington oroande underrättelser om att sydstatarna var i färd att bygga en flotta av bepansrade fartyg. Ericsson fick nu besök av en amerikan vid namn Bushnell som ville höra den berömde uppfinnarens synpunkter på en pansarbåt han ritat. Ericsson studerade ritningarna och meddelade att fartyget skulle flyta men att bepansringen var för klen för att stå emot eld från moderna kanoner. På Bushnells fråga om det inte fanns någon lösning på problemet visade Ericsson sina planer från 1854. Bushnell var till en början både förbryllad och skeptisk, men allteftersom Ericsson förklarade konstruktionens olika delar blev amerikanen mer och mer entusiastisk. Slutligen bad han att få ta med sig ritningarna för att omedelbart bege sig till Washington med dem. Bushnell sökte stöd hos två av sina affärsvänner, och tillsammans lade de fram Ericssons planer för den kommitté som tillsatts för att pröva inkomna förslag på pansarbåtar.

Fartyget höjde sig endast obetydligt över vattenytan, med undantag av ett skottsäkert kanontorn, som stod något för om mitten. Tornet kunde vridas med hjälp av ångkraft. I tornet fanns två stora parallella kanoner, som vreds på samma gång som tornet. Den övre bepansrade delen av fartyget översköt för- och akterut den undre, opansrade delen, på vilken fartyget flöt. På detta sätt skyddades roder, propeller och ankare.

Det fanns även andra nyskapande detaljer på monitorn, däribland portstoppare, kanonlavett med friktionsinrättning, däcksskrapa (för att skydda däcket mot äntring av fienden), bottenskrapa (för att undanröja hinder i fartygets väg), styrinrättning, ventilationsaggregat med mera. Det är inte förvånande att förslaget att bygga detta egendomliga fartyg med så många oprövade lösningar väckte fackmännens misstroende. De förklarade att monitorn inte skulle vara tillräckligt stabil och för övrigt inte äga de egenskaper som fordrades av ett sjögående fartyg. Ericsson försvarade dock energiskt sina idéer och var dessutom understödd av två kapitalstarka amerikaner och slutligen godkändes förslaget.

Kommittén tillstod att Ericssons fartyg möjligen kunde vara osårbart för kanoneld, men att den låga profilen skulle göra det odugligt i sjön. Efter en del övervägande beslöt man dock att köpa in Ericssons märkliga fartyg - dock på villkor att köpet skulle gå tillbaka om den amerikanska marinen inte godkände det färdiga fartyget. Ericsson och hans tre medfinansiärer utsatte sig för en stor risk när de accepterade de marina myndigheternas villkor.

Monitor sjösattes i New York den 30 januari 1862. Fartyget var byggt av ek men borden var klädda med fem tum järnplåt och tornet var tillverkat av nio tums järnplåt. Även däcket var klätt med järn, och förutom kanontornet och diverse pollare och knapar fanns där bara en liten styrhytt för kapten och rorsman som delvis stack upp över däcket. Ångpannornas skorstenar var löstagbara och togs ned i stridstjänst. Fartyget drevs av en tvåcylindrig oscillationstrunkångmaskin som Ericsson konstruerat, liksom propellern. För att få en så låg tyngdpunkt som möjligt och dessutom kunna montera maskinen helt under däck i skydd för fientlig eld, utvecklade han en maskin som fungerade ungefär som en bakvänd boxermotor. Cylindrarna var liggande, rygg mot rygg, och vevstakarna verkade utåt sidorna. Kraften överfördes sedan med ett invecklat system av hävarmar till propelleraxeln. (Notera att compoundmaskinen kom att utvecklas först i slutet av decenniet)

Operationell tjänst

USS Monitor är mest känt för sina insatser vid slaget vid Hampton Roads i mars 1862, där det hindrade pansarskeppet CSS Virginia (även känt som ) att bryta unionens sjöblockad av Norfolk. Detta slag var det första mellan två bepansrade örlogsfartyg.

Bara några dagar efter USS Monitors provtur i mars 1862, besegrade sydstaternas pansarklädda ångfartyg CSS Virginia den 8 mars en liten nordamerikansk flotta, sänkte två fartyg och skadade ett tredje. Virginia skulle troligen ha sänkt fler fartyg om inte mörkret fallit. Nyheten om nederlaget spreds snabbt med telegraf till nordstaterna och väckte allmän bestörtning. Det var inte bara träfartygen som hotades, utan även kuststäderna. Under natten bogserades Monitor, efter att de under provturen uppdagade problemen hastigt åtgärdats, till skådeplatsen. Besättningen sades ha varit skakad efter färden över öppet hav, men den 9 mars 1862 kom slaget vid Hampton Roads att utkämpas. Efter en tre timmar lång artilleriduell drog sig Virginia tillbaka. Därmed var det bevisat att Monitor kunde stå emot Konfederationens pansarskepp. Nordstaternas flotta var därmed räddad, och Ericssons konstruktion vann stort erkännande.

John Ericsson räknas som en amerikansk hjälte och förärades 1926 ett eget monument i anslutning till the National Mall i Washington DC. John Ericsson National Memorial.

Vidare öde

USS Monitor uppehöll sig resten av våren i vattnen utanför Hampton Roads, och avskräckte genom sin blotta närvaro Sydstaternas flotta från att inleda några större fientligheter. CSS Virginia försökte några gånger provocera henne att ingripa, men besättningen på Monitor höll sig ifrån direkt konfrontation. Då Konfederationen tvingades överge området och sänkte Virginia för att hon inte skulle falla i fiendens händer, kunde Monitor gå uppför Jamesfloden för att stöda landstyrkorna vid intagandet av Richmond. Därvid visade det sig att Monitors kanoner inte kunde riktas tillräckligt högt för att kunna skada de försvarande befästningarna. Efter slaget fick Monitor order att följa de retirerande trupperna söderut. Under bogser av USS Rhode Island råkade fartyget ut för hårt väder utanför Cape Hatteras och uppfyllde kritikernas profetior om usel sjövärdighet; hon sjönk 31 december 1862 och sexton besättningsmän drunknade då de sköljdes överbord under räddningsoperationen.

Vraket av USS Monitor återupptäcktes 1973 på inte fullt 80 meters djup. 1986 förklarades resterna för Nationellt historiskt landmärke (Monitor National Marine Sanctuary), och planer för att lyfta vraket cirkulerade, men hon var alltför angripen av korrosion och förruttnelse för att kunna lyftas. Delar av henne har dock bärgats, såsom kanontornet, ankaret och maskineriet, och de finns till påseende på ett museum i Newport News.

Skeppstypen Monitorer

Efter detta slag kom många monitorer att byggas över hela världen, bland annat i Sverige, Norge och Ryssland. Nordstaternas slutliga seger över sydstaterna kunde delvis tillskrivas Ericssons uppfinning; de byggde fler av fartygstypen, som kom att tjänstgöra en hel del i kriget. Ett tiotal byggdes efter USS Monitor, det första, , (som nätt och jämnt klarade samma storm som Monitor sjönk i) fick ge namn till klassen. Den sista, , blev färdigt precis efter krigsslutet 1864. Efter tre års krigstjänst hade de varit i medeltal 25 gånger i strid. De visade sig vara ganska osårbara mot de fientliga kulorna, och de kunde efter vissa förbättringar röra sig tryggt på öppet hav även i hårt väder. Det var först efter första världskriget som fartygen ansågs föråldrade.

Eftersom USS Monitor var det första fartyget i sitt slag fick den därför ge namn åt fartygstypen.

Are you blessed with having a really good friend? Thankfully I have a few in my life and one of those happens to be my friend, Caroline.
Caroline is one of those friends that you can talk to and confide in, but also play games like Pie in Face and Bean Boozled.
We messaged our friends and organized the details. Caroline was a bit difficult with the whole date thing. She even ran late and almost ruined the surprise.
Almost was the key word though. We huddled in the back room and waited for her to arrive. And she was totally surprised. She had absolutely no clue.
This was the spread. Of course we went with mainly orange foods and orange decor. I printed out my banner and made toppers for the cupcakes that read #Caroline.
We got our amazing cupcakes from Happy Sweets. Aren't they gorgeous?!
I had a friend make these awesome pinwheel sandwiches.
We had the sandwiches, deviled eggs, cheese its, gold fish, and more.
I think the Sherbet Punch was the hit of the party. We made two batches and it was gone. The recipe is at the end of the post.
We made these Orange Scream Cheese Brownies from The Girl Who Ate Everything.
I had fun making this orange bark and have also included the recipe below.
What kind of party would it be if we didn't have gifts? And of course we continued with our orange theme. All in all it was a perfect evening!
Have you ever thrown a surprise party?
Spread melted chips on parchment paper.
Drop orange food coloring and swirl with knife.
How fun! The pinwheels your friend make look delicious. Glad the party was a success and the surprise wasn't ruined!

I just checked, and apparently explain.depesz.com is online for over a year now. First plans was added on 2008-12-04 13:20:43+01.
Since then there have been 3602 plans added, 770 of them were set to be private (not displayed on previous explains page.
Longest plan has 2267194 characters (yes, 2.2 megabytes of explain analyze output!), but it's not public, so I can't tell you the url. Longest public plan is this monstrosity, which (while being only explain output, not explain analyze) has 503585 characters.
During this time, there have been 61 days that nobody added any plan on (perhaps problems with software?).
The most heavily used day was 23rd of June 2009, when 71 new plans have been added (4 private).
Thank you all for using it. I hope you find it useful, and I promise, that one day, I will finally sit down, and add all long-due features (like work with new explain formats, fixing some output glitches, stats of used objects per plan).
If you'd like to take a peek at how it works – source of explain.depesz.com is always available.
Bonus points if the width of each arrow is based on the number of rows returned from that node, or the cumulative time taken to process it and all its children.
Your explain.depesz.com page is showing "Bad Gateway" at the moment.
sorry – had technical difficulties on the server. it should be fixed now.


…men first walked on the moon.
Lucy's second stop on the tour is at Seattle's Pacific Science Center, where her exhibit is running from October through March 8th. Unfortunately, that could very well be her _last_ stop before heading home to Ethiopia. Apparently, not enough people are bothering to see the exhibit.
If the ID folks actually were to do the work involved in creating such a theory, doing the experimentation and observation necessary to back it up and get their work peer reviewed, it WOULD be accepted by science. Unfortunately, the main proponents of Intelligent Design Theory have no interest in doing that; they'd rather just fabricate controversy, pretending that the mean-old scientists just won't let them play because scientists hate Christians.


This Magazine → What's the true cost of clean drinking water for Canada's First Nations?

Every day a member of the Kinonjeoshtegon First Nation drives 70 kilometres from Lake Winnipeg's western shore to a store in Dallas/Red Rose, Man. to buy 40 20-litre jugs of drinking water. That water is intended for elders and single mothers on the Jackhead Reserve, as Kinonjeoshtegon is also known, who don't have access to a vehicle to get it themselves.
Many homes in the 350-person community have private wells, but they produce hard water that's not desirable to drink. Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) gave the community a $170,000 cheque to upgrade a 1970s-era pumphouse in January, but it's not clear whether that will eliminate the problem.
To that end, the current Liberal government has pledged to eliminate drinking water advisories in First Nations communities by 2021. But according to some estimates, their proposed funding is barely half of what's needed. Here's a look at the numbers.
The Liberals' five-year budget for the cause, starting in 2016. That's an average of $360 million each year.
INAC's commitment over the seven years leading up to 2016. This is slightly less than the Liberals' budget.
The necessary capital investment the government actually needs to make to accomplish its goal, according to the Parliamentary Budget Office. The PBO reports that nearly 40 percent of 807 drinking water systems in 560 First Nation communities are "high risk," affecting a quarter of all reserve dwellers. The problem is especially acute in Ontario and British Columbia, where nearly half of drinking water systems are considered high risk.
$1.2 BILLION to ensure water systems meet safety codes.
$2 BILLION for future maintenance. An Indigenous-owned private sector firm pegs the figure even higher, at $4.7 billion, based on higher population growth assumptions.
How does the Jackhead Reserve fare?
The amount INAC gives Jackhead each year for "water systems," which the reserve uses to purchase the bottled water.
What the government has promised for a new water treatment facility. Construction is set to begin this spring.

Discover The History Of BBQ From Florida's Best BBQ Restaurant
Thu, Jun 24, 2021 at 4:20PM
If there's one thing our Florida BBQ restaurants know how to do, it's good barbecue. And though we are one of central Florida's best barbecue restaurants, we aren't the first to cook up delicious, mouth-watering barbecue for your dinner table. Read on to explore the history and roots of barbecue in our beautiful country!
From Caribbean Roots…
The word "barbecue" originated from the Caribbean Indian tribe called Taíno's word "barbacoa," meaning grilling in a raised wooden grate. In the 1490s, settlers witnessed Taíno roasting meat over a grill consisting of a wooden framework resting on sticks above a fire. This engulfment of smoke and fire around the meat created a distinct flavor. Spanish conquistadors carried the cooking style north and settlers brought it westward, sprinkling different sections of the current United States with flavors of influence from European cultures.
...To A Favorite American Pastime
Barbecue has been a part of American culture since colonial times. Many major historical events have been commemorated with barbecues, from winning the Revolutionary War to building the first bridge over the Missouri River. Our presidents were even recorded to have loved barbecue. Uncovered diaries have shown references to George Washington's passion for barbecue, and Abraham Lincoln's parents were married with barbecue as their wedding meal. Other major historical figures have left their mark on barbecue's history as well, like the first commercial charcoal briquette factory designed by Thomas Edison and built by Henry Ford in 1921.
The Four Original Barbecue Styles
The "barbecue belt" of the United States houses four distinct barbecue traditions – Carolina, Texas, Memphis and Kansas City. But they are all intertwined as some were born of another. One of the oldest forms of barbecue, Carolina, claims slow-roasted pork with either ketchup & vinegar-based sauce or a mayonnaise-based sauce. Once Carolina barbecue found its way into Texas, the Texas-style barbecue was born, partnering Carolina techniques with cattle instead of pork. Then, making its way into Memphis, the sweet, tomato-based barbecue was born. From there, barbecue made its way to Kansas City where pork-only barbecue was nixed and beef and other meats were used with sweet and spicy sauces.
Barbecue Today
Today, barbecue is a huge part of American culture. From travel routes to experience the country's best barbecue to the variety of different barbecue techniques in the backyards of many family homes, barbecue has truly stood the test of time – and for good reason! Though seen throughout the United States, this cuisine is especially prominent in the Southern states, which is popularly referred to as the "barbecue belt."
Whether it's pork or beef, smoked or grilled, Memphis-style or Carolina-style, barbecue has left its mark and we're thankful it has! As Florida's favorite barbecue restaurant, we know what delicious barbecue is, we value its rich history, we execute it exquisitely. And if you're just as fascinated with BBQ in Florida as we are, swing by one of our locations to experience the rich and zesty flavor of Dustin's Bar-B-Q!

After all, Washington had never done a Western, and there were big shoes to fill: Yul Brynner leading an immortal cast (including Steve McQueen and Charles Bronson) in the original 1960 tale of gunslingers banding together to save a Mexican village from marauding bandits.
It's fresh acting and directorial challenges that sustain him. The Oscar winner, whose films have grossed more than $2bn (£1.2bn) at the box office, is one of the biggest draws in cinema but has never made a follow up movie. The notion of a 'franchise commitment' sits uncomfortably with him. A western in 2016 suggests he's as unbending as ever.

Q: Control-C triggers logout from root in bash I'm facing a really frustrating problem on this specific server, every time I press ctrl+c, I logout from the root session

Running CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 & Bash (4.2.46-21.el7_3.x86_64)
[root@server ~]# uname -a
Linux server 3.10.0-514.16.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Apr 12 15:04:24 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[root@server ~]# ^C
[root@server ~]# logout
[user@server ~]$

A: trapping-ctrl-c-in-bash describe how to trap CTRL+C in order to trigger some action.
Please check in your root account (bashrc etc), if you are running similar trap to force logout when pressing CTRL+C

Trapping ctrl-c in Bash
You can use the trap builtin to handle a user pressing ctrl-c during
  the execution of a Bash script. e.g. if you need to perform some
  cleanup functions.
#!/bin/bash

# trap ctrl-c and call ctrl_c()
trap ctrl_c INT

function ctrl_c() {
        echo "** Trapped CTRL-C"
}

for i in `seq 1 5`; do
    sleep 1
    echo -n "."
done

A: You might check if your bash environment isn't actually a wrapper around bash that just runs bash below.
We use a similiar solution on our workplace and it is used to track everything done using SSH, however the problem is exactly as yours, whenever ctrl+c is involved it likes to drop out of shell.

A: In every OS you can find Signals which should be handled . There is three reactions to signals : 1 - ignore it , 2 - handle it by yourself , 3- leave it to OS . Ctrl + C is hangup signal by default . you use trap command to handle signal . also check ASCII standard on your system , some coding maybe different. check man ascii for HUP sign and its belongs charterer.
trap command example:
trap "echo hi" SIGINT which print hi every time you press Ctrl + C . Also you can find list of signal by the command of kill -l .

TITLE: Climate change and health: a complicated relationship?
ABSTRACT: It is widely understood that greenhouse gases associated with human activities are causing climate change, and that climate change poses significant risks to human health. However, these risks are not evenly distributed. Climate change is exacerbating existing social inequities and health risks, and in doing so, exacerbating existing health inequities.
In this presentation, Dr. Crighton will employ a determinants of health framework to examine relationships between climate change, health and health inequities. A number of examples including extreme heat events, water insecurity and urban air pollution will be used to illustrate these relationships.
SPEAKER BIO: Dr. Eric Crighton is a Full Professor in the Department of Geography, Environment and Geomatics at the University of Ottawa, Director of the Health and Environment Analysis Laboratory, and Adjunct Scientist at the Institute of Clinical Evaluative Sciences. He is a Health Geographer whose research is focused broadly on understanding relationships between social, economic and physical environments and human health and well-being. Dr. Crighton has published widely on themes including environmental and socioeconomic determinants of diverse respiratory diseases, environmental disasters and health, and environmental risk perceptions and protective behaviour.

Невена Божович (;  15 червня 1994, Косовська-Мітровіца, Югославія) — сербська співачка, представниця Сербії на «Дитячому Євробаченні — 2007», представниця Сербії на «Євробаченні» 2013 (у складі групи Moje 3) і 2019 років, учасниця шоу Prvi glas Srbije.

Життєпис
Невена Божович народилася 1994 року в Косовській Митровиці, з дитинства вона займалася співом і брала участь у різних фестивалях і конкурсах, але одним з найважливіших моментів у творчій кар'єрі для Невени стало «Дитяче Євробачення». У 2007 році вона представляла в Роттердамі Сербію з баладою Пиши ми, і зайняла третє призове місце з 120 очками, отримавши бали від усіх країн.

У 2009 році Невена брала участь на фестивалі «Сунчане скале», де здійснила фурор на вечорі «Нових Зірок», а перше місце вона отримала на першому конкурсному вечорі з піснею Ти.

Популярність Невені принесло шоу Prvi glas Srbije (серб. — «Перший голос Сербії», аналог музичного шоу «Фактор А»); вона дійшла до фіналу, але перемогу в підсумку здобула Мірна Радуловіч. Обидві фіналістки увійшли в групу Moje 3 для участі в Євробаченні-2013 " у Швеції.

Невена закінчила музичну школу в рідному місті, і вступила на музичний факультет в Белграді.

У травні 2019 року Невена виступила на «Євробаченні» в Тель-Авіві з піснею «Kruna» (серб.  — «Корона») та пройшла у фінал, де посіла 17-е місце з 92 балами.

Особисте життя

У дитинстві Невена Божович добре грала у баскетбол, обираючи ким стати: професійною баскетболісткою чи співачкою або піаністкою, врешті вирішивши стати співачкою. З 13 років вона вегетаріанка. Вона любить подорожувати, вивчати мови та слідкувати за модними тенденціями.

ЗМІ пов'язували її з Мілошем Біковичем після його появи у відеокліпі «Bal» («Бал»), тим більше, Невена заявила, що вона справді закохана, але й заперечила будь-які романтичні стосунки з Мілошем.

20 квітня 2019 року Невена вийшла заміж за пілота Миколи Івановича з Чорногорії. Весілля відбулось у Будві, звідки Микола. ЗМІ Чорногорії називали його весіллям року.

The candidate will become part of a research group with currently six PostDocs and PhD students led by Sebastian Westermann (www.mn.uio.no/geo/english/people/aca/geohyd/sebaswe/). Permafrost is one of the key topics, with strong focus on process modeling, remote sensing methods and field measurements. Current projects include Permanor (www.mn.uio.no/geo/english/research/projects/permanor/), Nunataryuk (nunataryuk.org) and CCI Permafrost (cci.esa.int/Permafrost). A common approach of all projects is to tightly integrate field observations in model development, and the candidate is expected to participate in field activities of the group. From Oslo, we can quickly access field sites in Svalbard and Northern Scandinavia (e.g. degrading peat plateaus), but we are also active in other permafrost regions.
Many permafrost landscapes are characterized by a strong spatial heterogeneity, caused by spatially variable freeze-thaw processes and distribution of ice in the ground. Lateral fluxes of snow, water and heat define the thermal regime and stability, but also lead to thresholds and feedback mechanisms that can both delay or speed up permafrost thawing. The CryoGrid model (github.com/CryoGrid) can simulate such thaw phenomena (e.g. www.the-cryosphere-discuss.net/tc-2018-211), and the PhD candidate will extend the capacity of the model, working closely with the international team of developers. The targeted processes are especially related to the accumulation and ablation of ground ice (ice wedges, segregation ice, buried glacial ice) and organic matter, and thus the representation of mass fluxes on different timescales is a main priority for model development.
Application studies in both lowland and mountain permafrost areas are possible. Furthermore, the candidate will interact with developers of the Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM) to contribute to improvements of permafrost process representation. The final direction of the PhD will be determined together with the candidate, taking her/his scientific background and research preferences into account. Excellence and independent scientific thinking will be the main selection criteria. Scientific publications in international journals are expected as part of the PhD thesis.
The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences is a leading research faculty. Candidates for these fellowships will be selected in accordance with this, and expected to be in the upper segment of their class with respect to academic credentials.
3. hydrological or snow process modeling.
Excellent understanding of numerical models and proven programming skills in MATLAB, Python, C, julia and/or FORTRAN.
Ability and willingness to participate in field work.
Due to teaching duties, knowledge in one of the Scandinavian languages (Norwegian, Swedish, Danish), is an advantage, but not a requirement.
Salary NOK 449 400 – 505 800 per annum depending on qualifications and seniority as PhD Research Fellow (position code 1017).


Suicide Slug, a challenging platformer prototype demo.
This game was made in a weekend and shown at a local convention called the Vermont TechJam. It's a prototype/demo made in GameMaker Studio. Art made in MS Paint (I was going through a phase).
You are a slug. Traverse intense landscapes. Maneuver challenging obstacles. Avoid spikes and other hazards. You are a slug so daring, it's almost suicidal.
Please give it a play, and if you think I should continue work on it or not, please tell me, any suggestions or ideas are greatly welcome.

Rosalind Arden
Rosalind Arden is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Philosophy of Natural and Social Science, she received her PhD in 2010 from the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London. Rosalind is interested in cognitive abilities (intelligence) and associated outcomes, especially those related to health (including lifespan) and she is keen on exploring intelligence (and associated outcomes including fitness payoffs) in non human species, including dogs. Rosalind's key method is behavioural genetics (which illuminates why we are all different from each other), her intellectual framework is evolutionary theory (which illuminates why we are so similar to one another). Rosalind's first degree was History of Art, Design and Film and she still has a keen interest in art. Before beginning her PhD, Rosalind produced science documentaries for television.

I'm interested in intelligence and outcomes associated with it – such as health, ageing and lifespan.I investigate why people vary in intelligence and the consequences of being more, or less bright.
For example I have tested the relationship between intelligence and health, and between intelligence and lifespan.
I have also explored intelligence in children. Drawing is one of the few ancestral, cognitive behaviours of which we have direct evidence from the paleolithic. I find this intriguing. Some ancient bone pipes have been discovered, but we don't know what the music sounded like. With ancient art, the product of hands and minds from the deep past are right there for us to see. Awesome. Although we enjoy the process and the products of art without subjecting them to quantification, it is also intriguing to see whether there are aspects of art that are amenable to scientific methods.
We published the first paper showing that children, who are more genetically similar, draw the human figure more similarly, even when compared with other children who are also siblings. We also showed that drawing more accurately in early childhood is linked with being brighter, even a decade later.
I also explore intelligence in other animals, including dogs.
Our recent study with dogs found a measurable tendency of dogs that catch-on in one task being more likely to catch-on more quickly at other tasks that tap different domains.
Working with other animals makes it possible to exclude confounding differences in task performance that arise from sources such as wealth and life-style choices. However, you cannot merely say "now children, pick up your pencils". So we aim to develop new tests with good psychometric (measurement) properties.
I selected dogs for several reasons: dogs are more tractable than some species; they seem to enjoy our company, and tolerate the cognitive "games".
Our work on dog intelligence is rudimentary, so far, but it shows that the general approach is feasible. After all, it took a while for to develop good psychometric tools to assess intelligence in people.
In the future I'd like to find out whether the tendency of intelligence to generalise across tasks is mammal-typical, rather than particular to a few species. I'd also like to find out whether brighter individuals (within a species) tend to age more successfully and live longer.
In people, there is a small link between being brighter and experiencing better health outcomes.Testing this link in other species would be informative about whether being brighter confers a small but detectable biological boost for healthy ageing. It may be that the well-tempered brain functions like a sentinel, indicating something of the health of the organism as a whole.
Before all this… I used to make science documentaries.
Towards the end of my art history BA, I read a book of interviews with physicists called "Superstrings: A Theory of Everything?" edited by Paul Davies and Julian Brown; it was gripping. I wrote up a proposal for a film on Superstrings for Channel 4's science series Equinox (Unravelling the Universe). I made science films until our family moved to New Mexico.
This move provoked a career change since the dear Old Beeb and Channel 4 don't have outposts in the high desert. I'd made a film about health inequalities, and a film about intelligence. I decided to explore whether there were links between the two, and began a PhD investigating cognitive abilities in people. I tried to link learning about individual differences with questions informed by evolutionary theory.
A Border Collie pup, Jenny, joined our family. She stimulated lots of new questions. And caused me to learn that I am no good at "agility", somewhat better at herding. Jenny would pick up acoustic signals and attach them appropriately to referents (figure out what a word means). For example, she would look up at the sky if I said "bird" without any explicit teaching. This tendency inspired me to explore dog cognition more formally.

Identification of murdered child found outside of Las Vegas leads to arrest
Katie Tuesday, June 8, 2021 3 min read
Updated image provided by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children released by Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department
Las Vegas, Nevada: Yesterday Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Homicide Lt. Ray Spencer once again addressed the media, this time to announce that the child victim located outside of Las Vegas on Friday, May 28 had been positively identified and a warrant had been issued for his mother's arrest.
This morning investigators announced that 35-year-old Samantha Moreno Rodriguez of San Jose, California was taken into custody in Denver, Colorado by the Denver Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Task Force in partnership with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
She has been booked into the Downtown Detention Center until she can be extradited to Las Vegas on a charge of open murder for the death of her 7-year-old son Liam Husted.
Spencer relayed that Friday night at about 8:00 pm a call came in from a San Jose Police Sgt. stating that they had reason to believe a missing person from their area could potentially be the unidentified victim.
Saturday morning a detective was dispatched to San Jose, California to obtain personal belongings of the child and returned to Las Vegas with those items. On Sunday morning, a forensics technician processed DNA tests in an effort to determine whether or not there was a match.
Late Sunday night those results came back confirming a positive identification.
On May 24 Liam and Rodriguez left the San Jose area in a dark blue 2007 Dodge Caliber packed with personal belongings. Spencer outlined the locations that their vehicle had been traced at including near Laguna Beach, California on May 26, then Hesperia, California later that day.
On May 29 the vehicle was seen on I70 near Grand Junction, Colorado and then on May 31 she checked into a Denver hotel by herself.
Spencer asked that Las Vegas hotels check their records to find whether or not Rodriguez stayed in the valley on either May 27 or 28, and contact Crime Stoppers with that information.
Spencer stated that a family friend was the initiator of the investigation in San Jose. She had contacted police there after seeing images that had been provided by LVMPD as she had not heard from either Rodriguez or Liam in two weeks.
Liam's father reported his son missing on June 1 after not being able to reach Rodriguez. He told investigators that he had no reason to suspect his son was in danger and did not press charges as he was "not trying to get the mother intro trouble." Spencer went on to elaborate saying, "There's no involvement whatsoever that we suspect on his behalf."
Spencer said that they were not currently aware of any history of child abuse related to the case but also indicated that the investigation is still active and ongoing and they are working to establish a motive.
KTVU spoke with Liam's grandfather, Chris Husted who said, "We are devastated. Liam was a happy, sweet, innocent child who adored his father. It is a complete tragedy. Liam was a special needs child, at a disadvantage and dependent on other' kindness. Unfortunately, his mother took that away."

I've managed to isolate the problem, enough to notice that it seems to occur only when running network-intensive programs, e.g. ktorrent or retroshare. Killing the plasmashell process and restarting it initially brings the usage down to reasonable levels, but within a few minutes its back to 40%, and given some more time it creeps back to the 100+ range. Needless to say that this makes the computer very sluggish and unresponsive - downright unusable for even slightly heavier tasks. Stopping the network-heavy application quickly brings usage back to a normal usage level of ~10%, but that's not really an acceptable solution.
Googling around reveals that I'm not alone with the problem of plasmashell running amok, but in all the other cases I've found, some desktop widget has been the culprit. I don't have any desktop widgets beyond a small number of icons to start frequently used programs with, so that seems an unlikely cause - they are of course also present when plasmashell is not going berserk. I also have a pretty bog standard panel, so again that's an unlikely source for problems.
Certainly not normal, log out of your session and remove ~/.cache, maybe it helps.
log out of your session and remove ~/.cache, maybe it helps.
It... altered the behavior of the annoyance. Instead of plasmashell going haywire, now it's X.
The system might be slightly more responsive, but load average still jumps from a normal idle of ~0.4 to ~1.6 I don't quite get this.
Actually this is even weirder than I thought. Now when I shut down the network-heavy apps, first things appeared to go back to normal, *and then* plasmashell went bananas. And of course, since there are no more programs to shut down, the only way to get it back under control is to reboot. It's like I'm running flippin' windows.
If plasmashell is running wild, why not kill it or log out (thereby implicitly killing it)? A reboot should not be required. In extreme cases, it might ignore regular signals, but nothing can block SIGKILL.


How does it all work? First, let's chat about your colour objectives. Are you designing something new, breathing new life into an existing application, or searching for an exact colour match? What general colour ideas would you like to pursue for your project… subtle sophistication, simple warm tones, or all-out razzle dazzle? Not sure? Check out Hueforia 2018 or Hueforia 2019 for inspiration! We should also talk about processing a bit, like whether the plan is to injection mold or blow mold your product, use extrusion processing techniques or other processes. We'll make sure that your colour formulation is optimized for maximum performance with your resin and let-down ratio. We have a lot of technical people to work through the engineering mumbo jumbo, so no worries. Now, where were we? Oh yeah… we have a lot to talk about. So let's talk!
