Meet the Birds in Bryant Park – featuring avian guests Desi and Ruby. These Eclectus Parrots are part of a new exotic bird education program. Stop by to watch, ask questions, interact with the birds, or just take pictures. Perfect for children of all ages, this program is brought to you all summer long free of charge.
The sociable, people-friendly birds come to us from the Arcadia Bird Sanctuary of New Jersey. A great resource for the tri-state area, Arcadia provides services for birds in need, whether they've been injured or their owners can no longer care for them. An exotic bird, like a Macaw, can live anywhere from 40-80 years, and pet birds will often outlive their owners! When problems arise, Arcadia is there.
Arcadia Director Terri Jones is both a certified avian specialist and a life-long animal lover. You can find her with feathered friends in tow every Tuesday from 11:30pm-2:00pm by the Carousel. She brings different types of birds each week, so there's always a new bird to meet.

Extraordinary NJ Environmental Ladies Rock!
The foursome in this "League of Extraordinary Women" video – Lady Gaga (Amanda Nesheiwat), Marilyn Monroe (Rachel Wieland), Wonder Woman (Leslie Raucher) and Hillary Clinton (whom I don't recognize) are in real life, powerful environmental advocates in their own right. Spending a few minutes with them in their super-power incarnations – what I can say? It's the chance of a life time, and one you will NOT want to miss.
These women pack powerful sustainable punches into the statements they make in, but the fun is how delightful they are. Don't be surprised if you like Amanda's Lady Gaga almost better than the real thing. Thanks for a few minutes of sheer enjoyment, ladies!


The only unselected show in the UK giving an opportunity to see the work of the well established alongside the up-and-coming. Around 170 potters will be taking part in this, the oldest potters' market in the UK. The result is an exciting mix of the sophisticated and the raw power of the next generation.
No art hype, no gallery glitz, just potters and public enjoying each other's company in a down to earth setting. The event is held under permanent cover at Skirsgill Auction Mart, Penrith – 100 yds west of junction 40 off the M6, on the edge of Britain's beautiful Lake District. (Postcode for Sat Navs – CA11 0DN).
The interaction between potters and public is an important part of the show. As well as some demonstrations, there will be free hour-long classes for adults to encourage them to take their first steps in clay. Get inspired, get involved and be prepared for visual overload.
Throwing classes, kids 'n clay corner, pottery tools, clay suppliers, kilns, and thousands of pots to choose from. The theme for this year's competition held in the foyer area of the show will be announced shortly.
Please be aware that many of the exhibitors are unable to process credit card transactions, and the nearest cash machines are two miles away in Penrith.


Concept of the game (functionality) will be similar to FB game Tetris battle.
We are looking for premium design (Zynga games look and feel) with emphasis on details. Some animations will be needed (turning of cards, game results etc.).
Project (and coperation) is planned to be on ongoing basis. New functionalities and gaming modes will be added monthly, hence need for additional designs.
Attached you will find simple mock up of vital elements of the game.
After suitable designer is selected, we will give more information and guidelines. We are looking for experienced Flash designer with knowledge of 3D design and experience in FB based design work, preferably (social) game design.


The Allmusic blog has an appreciation of sorts for the enduring fiddle-tune cotton-eyed joe. Read it here. The article states: "Legend has it that Cotton-Eyed Joe was a pre-Civil War slave musician whose tragic life turned his hair white and was famous for playing a fiddle made from the coffin of his diseased son." Wow! Never heard that before, but it's a darn good story. Somehow more plausible to me is the claim that "…Cotton-Eyed Joe isn't a person at all but the name of a specific non-partner spoke-line dance and that one doesn't meet Cotton-Eyed Joe, one does the Cotton-Eyed Joe." In this case, the lines "Where did you come from / where did you go?" could quite literally refer to a dance partner.
Who do I think Cotton-Eyed Joe might have been/might still be?
Checking out the Lisp object reminded me of my first forays into algorithmic composition and just how fun it can be to create work using simple processes. And how hard it can be to create compelling work that way!
Garton's lisp object also gave me an excuse to pull out my copy of The Little LISPer. The book is an excellent example of learning by doing. After a brief introduction, the reader is asked to interpret LISP commands of increasing complexity and guided by a simple process of inquiry. There are no dry explanations only concrete examples. It's made a lasting impression on my ideas of teaching and learning. Comparable to learning/teaching/performing Zorn's Cobra–you do it, and then you know it.
I finally got around to posting audio examples for some bent electronics projects over on the main (static? abandoned?) hollandhopson.com site (find them here and here). And I thought I'd share this 2:50 hit single I uncovered in the process.
This is a single take from a circuit bent voice transformer. I've written catchier tunes, to be sure, but I doubt I'll ever get more techno than this. I can't wait for the extended dance mix, the mashup and the celebrity DJ remix!
Selected volumes of the sound-art cassette series Tellus are now available on UBUweb. About 10 years ago I helped transfer some of the Tellus master tapes onto CDs for the Harvestworks archive. There are some true gems in the Tellus series. It's great to have them more widely available.
I'm really looking forward to this show. It'll be my first for 2008 and my long-overdue first appearance in Albany since moving here. See you there!


Running a background check before a first date can seem a bit invasive. Finding out personal details, or even personal writing can feel too intimate, especially if you haven't been on a date yet. But a quick Google search can also reveal important, previously withheld information, including a larceny charge or a secret significant other. Still, should someone research their date, or is it an enormous invasion of privacy?
If you're the type who wants to know everything about a first date, including where they grew up and their college major, finding a stranger online isn't all that difficult. Here's a quick tutorial: Simply Google everything you know at once, and the future date is sure to pop up. Combine their school, hometown, job, current location and name, and a Facebook page is bound to appear. If all else fails, put their phone number into Facebook's search bar and a profile will appear, giving you their last name. In under five minutes, you will know who you're dating.
After asking around, the consensus seems split about this version of cyber stalking, with people either strongly for or against scrutinizing their romantic interest.
"I absolutely Google stalk every single date before I go out. Sometimes I wish I wouldn't, because I create thoughts in my head about who I think they are before I meet them. But I've seen one too many Dateline specials, and I don't trust people anymore. I'll typically do the Googling before a first date is even set. I've unmatched myself from people after seeing their Facebook or Twitter accounts," one single said, explaining that she had also previously unmatched with someone after discovering their political views.
A 20-something Brooklynite said, "Back in my Tinder days, I Googled a future hang-out and found his god-awful stand-up comedy sets on YouTube and immediately ghosted. [I'm] not proud, but not ashamed either." Other women cite racism, sexism, mugshots, and airing dirty laundry online as reasons to cancel.
Sometimes, a background check can be useful. The app Stud or Dud was made for online daters to discover whether or not their partner is lying. The app only accesses information that is readily available online, so don't expect to find a well-hidden mugshot. They will, however, supply criminal records, property ownership (including home value), court records and work records.
For one woman, Stud or Dud certainly would have proved useful. After she was introduced to a man by his mother, they began dating, and at first there were "no red flags." After suggesting a weekend trip away, her significant other started making excuses about why he couldn't go on a romantic vacation. She started to wonder if he was married, and began her research. Instead of discovering a wife, she found that he had shot a man in his face during a bar fight about video poker.
Catfishing isn't only online. A New Orleans woman met a man at a bar after a few cocktails. He told her that he was in late 20s, but when she looked him up she found his high school senior picture from 1995 (close to the year that she was born).
For some women and men, it's better to find out about someone during the date, not beforehand. After all, there's no point in knowing someone's life story if you're only going to join them for a single cocktail. But others warn that you should do your research, to avoid learning about someone's indiscretions once you're already invested.

23. Unless you believe, you will not understand (cf. Is 7:9). The Greek version of the Hebrew Bible, the Septuagint translation produced in Alexandria, gives the above rendering of the words spoken by the prophet Isaiah to King Ahaz. In this way, the issue of the knowledge of truth became central to faith. The Hebrew text, though, reads differently; the prophet says to the king: "If you will not believe, you shall not be established". Here there is a play on words, based on two forms of the verb 'am?n: "you will believe" (ta'amînû) and "you shall be established" (t?'?m?nû).
Terrified by the might of his enemies, the king seeks the security that an alliance with the great Assyrian empire can offer. The prophet tells him instead to trust completely in the solid and steadfast rock which is the God of Israel. Because God is trustworthy, it is reasonable to have faith in him, to stand fast on his word. He is the same God that Isaiah will later call, twice in one verse, the God who is Amen, "the God of truth" (cf. Is 65:16), the enduring foundation of covenant fidelity.
It might seem that the Greek version of the Bible, by translating "be established" as "understand", profoundly altered the meaning of the text by moving away from the biblical notion of trust in God towards a Greek notion of intellectual understanding. Yet this translation, while certainly reflecting a dialogue with Hellenistic culture, is not alien to the underlying spirit of the Hebrew text. The firm foundation that Isaiah promises to the king is indeed grounded in an understanding of God's activity and the unity which he gives to human life and to the history of his people. The prophet challenges the king, and us, to understand the Lord's ways, seeing in God's faithfulness the wise plan which governs the ages.
Saint Augustine took up this synthesis of the ideas of "understanding" and "being established" in his Confessions when he spoke of the truth on which one may rely in order to stand fast: "Then I shall be cast and set firm in the mould of your truth". From the context we know that Augustine was concerned to show that this trustworthy truth of God is, as the Bible makes clear, his own faithful presence throughout history, his ability to hold together times and ages, and to gather into one the scattered strands of our lives.

Der Pegelstein ist ein erratischer Block bzw. Findling aus Epidot-Sericit-Gneis bei Dotzigen im Kanton Bern, Schweiz. Er befindet sich an der westlichen Böschung der Bahnstrecke Lyss–Solothurn zwischen Dotzigen und Büren an der Aare, etwa 800 Meter in nordöstlicher Richtung vom Bahnhof Dotzigen entfernt.

Name
Der Name stammt aus der Zeit vor der ersten Juragewässerkorrektion, weil der Pegel zur Wasserstandsmessung der Alten Aare an diesem Stein befestigt war. Damals sei die Aare direkt gegen den Stein "geschossen", an dem auch hin und wieder Flosse zerschellt seien.

Geschichte
Vor der 1. Juragewässerkorrektion führte etwas oberhalb von diesem Standort her eine stark benutzte Fähre über die Aare hinüber nach Meienried. An jene Zeit des Fährbetriebs und der Aareschifffahrt erinnern auch die Malereien an einem 1733 erbauten Haus mit der ehemaligen Bezeichnung als Fahrtaverne. Diese befindet sich ausgangs Dotzigen und zwar rechter Hand in Richtung Büren. Besonders bemerkenswert ist die Darstellung eines Wagens mit acht vorgespannten Pferden sowie die Darstellung eines Flosses. Auf einem geometrischen Plan aus dem Jahr 1803 sind in Dotzigen die Fahrtaverne und sogar zwei Anlegestellen für Fähren zu erkennen.

Der Pegelstein zählt seit dem 22. Juni 1945 zu den geschützten geologischen Objekten des Kantons Bern.

Heute liegt der Erratiker etwas vergessen und nur schwer zugänglich zwischen dem Bahngeleise und dem Eichibach.

In östlicher Richtung, 600 und 1200 Meter vom Pegelstein entfernt, befinden sich gemäss der Landeskarte der Graue Stein und der Schalenstein Stedtiberg. Wie der Pegelstein sind sie Zeugen des während der Würmeiszeit in diese Gegend vorgestossenen eiszeitlichen Rhonegletschers.

2018 LA (temporäre Bezeichnung ZLAF9B2) war ein Erdbahnkreuzer, ein kleiner Asteroid vom Apollo-Typ. Er hatte einen Durchmesser von ca. 2 bis 3 Metern und trat am 2. Juni 2018 um 16:44 UTC (18:44 Ortszeit) nahe der Grenze zwischen Botswana und Südafrika in die Erdatmosphäre ein.

Der Asteroid wurde nur 8 Stunden zuvor von einem Instrument des Mount Lemmon Survey entdeckt. Aus einer Beobachtungsdauer von 1,5 Stunden wurde berechnet, dass dieses Objekt mit einer Wahrscheinlichkeit von 85 % die Erde treffen wird.

Mit der Entdeckung von 2018 LA ist es erst zum dritten Mal gelungen, einen Asteroiden auf einer Bahn aufzuspüren, auf der er danach tatsächlich mit der Erde kollidiert ist. Später erhielt die American Meteor Society einen Bericht, dass ein Beobachter aus Botswana einen hellen Feuerball gesehen hatte.

Entdeckung

Am 2. Juni 2018, gegen 8:22 UTC wurde von der Mount Lemmon Survey ein Asteroid mit einer scheinbaren Helligkeit von 18 Magnituden entdeckt, der sich sehr schnell gegenüber den Hintergrundsternen bewegte. Das Objekt wurde zuerst über eine Zeitspanne von 15 Minuten beobachtet. Diese Beobachtung wurden dem Minor Planet Center mitgeteilt und das Objekt über eine weitere Stunde lang verfolgt.

Meteoritenfund
Es kam zu keinem Impakt, da der etwa 2 Meter große Asteroid über Botswana explodierte und sich in Teile zerlegte.

Nach Berechnungen, die unter anderem Peter Jenniskens durchführte, konnte nach einer mehrtägigen Suche am 23. Juni ein erster Meteorit in der Kalahari in Botswana gefunden werden.

In dogs and cats, as in humans, anti-anxiety drugs do not affect all patients the same way. It�s nice to �try out� a particular drug, dose in a less intense situation and see how your pet responds.... Make it fun for the dog. Give the dog treats if he is showing good behavior, especially during walks. Maybe even bring a toy that your dog likes to make it more enjoyable for the dog.
For example, dogs can be trained to only go into the bottom half of a Vari Kennel. Once they're comfortable, the top half can be placed onto the crate, followed by the door. Once they're comfortable, the top half can be placed onto the crate, followed by the door.... Slip Leashes. Dangers of retractable leashes. 3. Time and Patience are paramount. Make sure the dog has a place to retreat to and make sure that area does not have a lot of traffic.
But sometimes, a fearful or scared dog might express its state of mind by yawning in an exaggerated way, not unlike we described earlier. Canine behaviorists think that this is a form of self-calming , much like you might try to unwind with yoga or, more likely, Scotch and a GTA V rampage bender.
Visitors should not attempt to pet or make eye contact with the dog. Have some treats on hand for your visitor to gently toss on the floor close to your dog for the duration of his visit. The fearful dog may slowly begin to associate strangers with rewards.

A trip to the cider mill signals the start of autumn for many people. Apple orchards are filled with people clamoring for freshly pressed cider and hot donuts begging to be devoured by young and old. Are you already starting to smell and taste these goodies just by thinking about them? What about freshly baked apple pies still hot from the oven? Historically, harvest time was a time of abundance and feasting. Is this why so many people sabotage their healthy eating habits at this time?
Our habits and instinctual responses are etched into the hard wiring of our brains affording us survival over time. The summers of our ancestors consisted of hunting and gathering vegetation, seeds and nuts. Most fruits, except berries, weren't available until fall; and the summer berries eaten were low glycemic, meaning that because they released sugar slowly they weren't harmful. Eating a natural diet that didn't include unhealthy sugars was important to our ancestor's survival because it allowed them to remain sharp and avoid becoming a meal for a predator.
To better understand the importance of this, think what happens when you've eaten too much sugar. Do you recall your thought processes starting to disintegrate? After an initial surge of happiness experienced while devouring the offending food, do you remember the feeling of disorientation, perhaps even frustration as you craved more of the very thing that just caused this state? This is definitely not a pro-survival state. So, why are so many people drawn to fruits, cakes and pies, even though indulging in these foods often leads to feeling uncomfortable?
Let's look at our ancestors for the answer. Survival depended upon storing food for winter. Before refrigeration, storage was within their bodies. Our ancestors ate energy rich fruits to the point of satiation, feeling full and then going to the next step beyond full. Those that survived winter had the ability to gorge. If this sounds familiar, remember they were your ancestors. Chemical changes in digestion occur so that when one gorges the excess that isn't needed for energy, it turns into storage fats for use when food is scarce.
This was a great system, but times have changed and so must we - unless we don't mind keeping our winter weight and setting ourselves up for disease. When we eat as if food will become scarce, we end up with bodies with extra storage and start contributing to the statistics for problems related to obesity.
Combined rates for overweight and obesity, as well as chronic health problems, have risen dramatically over the past two decades. Statistics from a new study released by the Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation showed that obesity rates in the past year increased in 16 states. Twelve states, including Michigan, have obesity rates over 30 percent, and seven states doubled their obesity rate over the past fifteen years. Michigan's combined rate of overweight and obesity was 53.6 percent fifteen years ago. Now, it is 65.7 percent.
Increases in overweight and obesity rates mirror increases in the rate of chronic health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Diabetes rates doubled in ten states in the past fifteen years. Michigan's hypertension rate went from 23.1 percent to 28.7 percent during this time. The price we pay for unhealthy eating habits is high.
The connection between chronic degenerative diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, cancer, and other autoimmune diseases and our eating habits is fairly well known. Forty thousand years ago, our ancestors were the healthiest group on the planet while others didn't survive. It only makes sense that our recipe for survival would be based on eating the way our ancestors ate.
Our ancestors ate fresh fruit and vegetables, mostly uncooked, eggs, meat, and fish. If you want to change your eating habits to increase your survival, how much you will have to change will depend upon what you've been eating up until now. If you've been eating real, non-processed food, you're on your way to healthy survival. There's an inverse relationship to the shelf life of foods and the ability of the food to sustain life. Avoiding processed foods with long shelf lives will help you choose foods that sustain life.
Gathering the food we need is like getting supplies together to continue living in a healthy, happy manner. When we don't gather the right foods, the urge to eat continues and we continue eating without becoming satisfied. The situation worsens when artificial foods are consumed because they throw off our natural ability to choose proper foods.
A downward spiral continues when we continue eating excessively because of the formation of excess adipose fat, or belly fat, which encourages production of the hormone estrogen. This hormone promotes the growth of more body tissue, more weight, and more fat. When estrogen isn't balanced with natural progesterone, another hormone, it pushes toward bone loss and cancers. The proper ratios of hormones to each other are more important than individual specific lab numbers.
Two other important hormones with regards to appetite and health are leptin and ghrelin. Leptin regulates energy intake and expenditure. In obesity, you become leptin resistant and want to eat all the time. Ghrelin stimulates hunger, and lack of sleep increases its action while decreasing leptin. Ghrelin also makes us look at food, alcohol and drugs as a reward. Both leptin and ghrelin are produced in the brain by the hypothalmus gland. Extremely important to appetite control and energy production, specific supplements can be used to help restore normal functioning if this gland begins to malfunction.
Tendencies toward certain behaviors are often due to our genetic programming. Although some of these behaviors were pro-survival in the past, certain behavior patterns are no longer appropriate. Continued survival on this planet means that we must start making more conscious food choices. Creating new eating patterns based on our present life style means we will flourish into the future.

What will life after bankruptcy be like ?
Most clients worry: What will life after bankruptcy be like?
As your attorney, I will help you understand your options in rebuilding your credit score and how to face life after bankruptcy. Many debtors are under the mistaken impression that once they file for bankruptcy it will take years to rebuild their credit, if at all. This is simply not the case. While it may take a while to rebuild a credit score, there are ways that you can apply for and obtain credit, even in the few months following the completion of your bankruptcy case.
By keeping current on your bills and mortgage payment if you have one, you can probably qualify for a low balance credit card. If you use that card responsibly and pay off the balance, your credit score will improve and you may be able to get higher limit credit cards.
Use your credit card wisely to avoid being in the same situation as before.
Create a budget and stick to it, spending money only on necessary expenses.
Track your credit report to keep an eye on your progress.

KU picked to win Big 12 (again). But where will Iowa State land?
The Big 12 Conference's preseason poll came out Friday.
Just how much better will the Iowa State men be this season? The Cyclones were picked to finish sixth in the Big 12 Conference's preseason poll released Friday.
Iowa State is coming off a 13-18 mark, including a 4-14 record in Big 12 play, to finish last in the conference during the 2017-18 campaign. That was expected to be a rebuilding season for the Cyclones.
The 2018-19 season is expected to be a bigger season for the Cyclones, who return a strong cast from a season ago, including leading scorer Lindell Wigginton.

Q: the number 0.23571113.... So I was looking into infinite decimals that have patterns and trying to practice turning them into ratios
(for example 0.1111...=1/9)
and then I thought of this number 0.23571113... with all the primes into infinity
I think this number has a name probably related to Euler, if so I would like to know it.
my question is this number rational or irrational or hasn't been figured out yet?
if so please provide simple proof.

Coronavirus UK news LIVE: A-level results due today amid appeals crisis as deaths fall to 41,329 after review
A-LEVEL students receive their results today however teens could face a results day crisis after exam bosses admitted they have not worked out the appeals process.
Because exams were cancelled during lockdown, a computer algorithm is for the first time being used to adjust grades given by teachers to 250,000 students.
Four in ten grades have been changed, with many marked down, after teachers tried to dish out record numbers of A*s.
It means pupils will be able to appeal, resit exams in the autumn or use their mock grades — as long as mocks were sat under proper exam conditions.
However exam bosses Ofqual admitted those teens who miss out on a university place will have to wait until next week to find out how the appeal process works.
Meanwhile, the coronavirus death toll has dropped by 5,377 following an urgent review into the way deaths are recorded.
It means that now, only deaths that happen within 28 days of a positive coronavirus test will be counted towards the official figure.
It comes following the announcement that positive tests have remained above the crucial 1,000-a-day mark.
A total of 1,009 new cases have been diagnosed – bringing the total number of positive tests to 313,798.
However, the number of new cases diagnosed is lower than yesterday, when 1,148 people were confirmed to have the virus.

RISHI'S THREE R'S
Rishi Sunak issued his own version of the three Rs tonight as he urged Brits to "rally round and fire up" the nation.
The Chancellor said now is the time to: RELIGHT the economy, RETURN to work and REOPEN schools.
He said: "The figures confirm we're in an acute recession and the hard times are here. But in amongst the gloom there are some glimmers of growth.
"Now is the time for everyone to rally round and really fire up the economy together.
"Whether it's going back to school or work in the office again, going to your local restaurant or pub for a meal or visiting your local shops for a bit of retail therapy, if we all play our part we can relight our economic firepower together."
VIRUS OUTBREAK 'DID NOT SPREAD FROM LONDON'
The coronavirus outbreak in the UK appears to have been "widely dispersed" from the start, one of the scientists leading a study into the prevalence of the virus said.
Helen Ward, from Imperial College London, told BBC Breakfast: "What was interesting (about the study) is that we can tell from people who reported not only having a positive test, but we also asked about their symptoms so we can actually track for most people – the 70% of people who reported symptoms – when they think they were infected.
"And it did start in January, February, and actually it started right across the country, so you can't say that it started in London and spread out.
"Right from the beginning it was widely dispersed."
CONTACT TRACING TRIAL
A NEW coronavirus contact-tracing app is due to begin trials in England today.
It will be based on Apple and Google's method, which involves smartphones detecting one another, the BBC reports.
The app is meant to support the NHS Test and Trace effort.
An app on people's phones will log when they have come close to someone for long enough for there to be a high risk of contagion.
The Isle of Wight, one other area and volunteers will be involved in the trials.
CORONAVIRUS ANTIBIODIES HIGH IN LONDON
AN IMPERIAL College study suggests the UK's coronavirus infection rate is much higher than previously thought.
Research found six per cent of England's population had been infected with Covid-19 by July 13.
If correct, it would mean 3.4 million people have had the disease.
The study found 13 per cent of people in London had antibodies, with the figure three per cent in South West England.
Care workers (16 per cent) and health care workers (12 per cent) had higher results than non-key workers (five per cent), the study suggested.
NEW ZEALAND SPIKE
NEW Zealand has reported 14 new coronavirus cases.
It comes a day after its largest city, Auckland went back into lockdown.
It was found earlier this week that members of the same family had become infected.
It comes after New Zealand that seen no locally transmitted cases for more than three months.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said: "We can see the seriousness of the situation we are in."
TRAVEL FEARS GROW
FOURTEEN countries with travel corridors to the UK have higher or similar Covid-19 rates to France, analysis suggests.
It comes amid fears for British holidaymakers that quarantine measures for travellers returning from France will be tightened on return to Britain.
The Daily Telegraph research found France had 18.1 cases per 100,000 of population.
The Netherlands (23.1 per 100,000), Gibraltar (35.6), Monaco (38.2), Malta (46.7), San Marino (53.0), the Faroe Islands (198.5), Turks and Caicos (278.9) and Aruba (547.9) had higher rates of new cases per 100,000 than France, analysis from The Daily Telegraph found.
Denmark (15.3 per 100,000), Iceland (14.7), the Czech Republic (14.0), Switzerland (13.3) and Poland (12.7) had a slightly lower rate than France.
SCHOOLS BOOST
CHILDREN accounted for just one in every 100 cases of Covid in England during the first wave of the pandemic, figures show.
Researchers from Public Health England (PHE) say the "reassuring" numbers confirm kids are not an important source of the infection.
They are also highly unlikely to die from it, with just one child with no underlying conditions killed by the bug during the study period.
The findings come after Boris Johnson said getting all pupils safely back into class next month is a "national priority".
TOP COP'S A-LEVEL WARNING
A POLICE chief has told A-level students not to break lockdown rules when they party after receiving their results.
Assistant Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police Nick Bailey's warning comes as Oldham faces further lockdown following a surge coronavirus cases.
The current Covid-19 lockdown regulations in the region will severely restrict any partying after students get their A-level exam results on Thursday.
IBUPROFEN DOESN'T RAISE RISK
TAKING painkillers such as ibuprofen does not increase the risk of dying from Covid, a UK study has revealed.
A warning issued by a French health minister at the start of the pandemic sparked global fears about the drugs.
But researchers led by the University of Aberdeen now say the concerns were ill-founded.
PPE STOLEN
THIEVES have stolen 1,000 boxes of PPE equipment from a lorry in Leicester.
The raiders swiped the boxes of latex gloves worth more than £90,000 from the truck parked on the A42.
Leicester had to go back into lockdown in June after coronavirus cases spiked.
Leicestershire Police said: "Officers investigating the theft of more than £90,000 worth of latex gloves from a HGV are appealing to any motorists who were in the area to come forward.
"Thirteen pallets containing more than 1000 boxes of latex gloves were stolen from the trailer."
FRANCE HOLIDAYS RISK
THE holiday plans of up to 400,000 British tourists are on a knife edge as France's rising infection rate leaves ministers on the brink of imposing fresh quarantine measures.
At a crunch meeting officials were handed the latest Covid stats which show France's infection rate has crept up to worrying levels.
And a string of getaway destinations including Malta, Holland and Gibraltar are now likely to be added to a list of nations requiring visitors to quarantine for up to two weeks when they return to the UK.
ANEW coronavirus contact-tracing app is due to begin trials in England today.
It will be based on Apple and Google's method, which involves smartphones detecting one another.
SIX PER CENT INFECTED
AROUND 3.4 million people in England have been infected with Covid-19, a new a study suggests.
The report found about six per cent of the population had been infected with coronavirus by July 13.
The figure is much higher than previous estimates.
The Imperial College London study looked at 100,000 volunteers.
CARE HOMES 'LIKE PRISONS' AMID PANDEMIC
Care homes have been turned into prisons amid the coronavirus pandemic, with residents "losing the will to live" as they are deprived contact with their families, charities for the elderly have warned.
The Telegraph report the All-Party Parliamentary Group was told restrictions on visiting homes had become so extreme that vulnerable people were being left distressed and lonely, in some cases unable to recognise their loved ones.
Charities said attempts to keep residents safe from the spread of Covid-19 were often creating misery and isolation.
They also criticised the Government for acting so slowly to attempt to protect care homes from the pandemic that 6,000 deaths had occurred by the time testing was introduced.

"It is a problem that together we have to solve."
COVID-19 CAN SPREAD ON SURFACES, SCIENTISTS SAY
Scientists have said it is possible for coronavirus to spread on surfaces, but say the biggest infection risk remains from person to person.
It comes amid claims that new outbreaks in New Zealand and China are linked to surface spreading.
The Telegraph report that authorities in New Zealand are currently investigating whether the country's new Covid-19 outbreak was brought into the country via refrigerated goods.
In China, officials have pointed to frozen fish as a potential source of transmission after the virus was found on seafood packaging in the city of Yantai.

Patio Series 2009: PAELLA | Lush Wine Blog: Read it. Drink it.
With a full house of thirsty guests, LUSH kicked off the Paella event with copious amounts of icy, fruit infused sangria in buckets, served with a ladle and refreshing Vinho Verde and Txakoli from the Basque region of Spain. Spanish olives, Spanish olive oil and fresh baguettes adorned the tables. The weather was quite agreeable (remarkable, I know), and the atmosphere casual and welcoming.
Erin worked the prep table, whipping up some delicious Spanish tapas…grilled baguette brushed with tomato and topped with manchego. She was a slicing machine. Colyn fulfilled his quota of trips back and forth schlepping supplies from the basement and schmoozing with the local custies and guests, while new kid Carrie got a crash course in patio event table setting and etiquette. Rachel and Jane kept the glasses full and special requests accomodated.
Mitch was a Paella making maniac…the TWO 30 quart pans were nearly overfull with delightful morsels, bubbling and releasing amazing aromas. The shrimp were fat and juicy, tail-on, and the monkfish an exquisite texture and unctuous mouthful of buttery goodness, the squid was prepared perfectly with a smoky note. Chicken thighs added a lovely earthy note, the chorizo a big spicy kick. And the rice was absolutely the binding ingredient that brought it all together. Nom nom. Everyone asked for seconds, and most went after the scrumptious crispy, charred morsels.
Although the event wrapped by 9:30pm, the patio was bumping until well into the night. Additional bottles, bourbon, and bubbly were purchased and popped…a few birthday toasts were made. Good friends, good food, and good drinks!
If you want to join the par-tay, holler at Erin or Kelly at LUSH University Village, 312.738.1900. Reservations are required and non-refundable. Groups are encouraged, but each reso (or couple) must confirm their RSVP separately. Attendance is limited to 25 guests. Events are price on food costs (and market value of ingredients), as well as beverage costs. Each guest receives approximately 4 courses…or more, we promise you will be rolling out…with at least the equivalent of 4 glasses of wine (you may want to cab it home). Tax and tip are not included in the total price…so love the Lushes.

Between today and Saturday night we'll posting the names of the rappers,singers,djs and producers involved in arguably one of the biggest mixtapes in the country! BE PART OF HISTORY IN THE MAKING. INVITE A FRIEND.


Back when I was young(er), my weekend means going to gigs and local events, watching local bands performance. As you might probably know, I am a music aficionado. I love almost any kind of music and I got a kick out of watching live music.
It all started when I was in high school – with the permission of my parents, I frequently attended other school's Pentas Seni (school festival), in which there were bazaar, dance shows, and of course, music performance from local and indie artists! Some of the famous ones (and the ones I can remember) were PL Fair, Tarakanita's, and Kresikars of SMU 82.
When I went to college and had less supervision from my parents, there's a very little chance that I missed out on going to local music events, especially the ones held by students in my university! And trust me, there were a lot of them.. hahaha. I was also a member of the university's student radio as a music director, which means I had to come to those kind of events to scout new music (I took my job seriously hehehe). Some of the bands that I liked to see are Pure Saturday, White Shoes and The Couples Company, The Milo, The Adams, Mocca, Sore and the likes. I can say that I had a pretty fun college life.
Nowadays, I don't go out as much. I hate to say it but I feel like my life has became.. dull? (I hate to say the word but I can't find out better words to describe this!). My "partner in crime" has gotten married, living hundreds miles away in England and is expecting her first born. Most of my friends are married and some with kids too. I do have younger friends but they are not into music as much as I am, with them I love to travel and try out different kinds of food. When I go out, me and my friends would prefer acoustic sessions in cafes rather than full band performance in music festivals.. simply because we would rather opt for something more comfortable! Hahaha. As much as I enjoy my weekends nowadays, I sometimes miss going out to gigs all night long!
That's why I was very excited when an old friend of mine – Cindy – posted an e-flyer of an event called "EarNight 2014". It's an acoustic night to celebrate Endah and Rhesa's 5th wedding anniversary, which had the performance of them plus Tulus, Payung Teduh, Adhitya Sofyan, Float, and some other indie musicians.
In short, it's the kind of event I wouldn't miss back in the days! I contacted Cindy and asked her if she would like to go. The event was held last Friday in Kemang and we ended up going with one other friend, Yayi – so it was the three of us. I had lots of fun!! Although we were not able to stay until the event's finished because we're too tired hahahaha but I did catch a lot of stellar performance from the artists.
Oh btw, here are some songs from the artists I mentioned above, hope you'd enjoy them as much as I do!
P.S this is my favorite song of Float, and I have never seen them performing this live until last Friday! It gave me chills!
I miss that too here. So I try to go to Concerts and small festivals here, the atmosphere is different though from when I was back at uni in Indonesia.
Soal ngerokok, I totally get that way too. Tapi waktu aku terakhir nonton Payung Teduh itu di Gandaria city, jadi terbuka tuh Ta. Mungkin cari yang gitu.
Oh BTW bagaimana kalau cari temen yang kerja di musik? jadi selalu bisa pergi hahaha. Itu kerjaan ku kalau pulang, ngekor temen ku yang kerjanya stage manager.
Tapi enaknya di Inggris kesempatan liat musisi internasional jauh lebih besar ya 🙂 Hehe.
Kemarin itu pun konsernya di Payong, outdoor, jadi seneng karena bebas asap rokok. Jarang banget ada acara yg bebas asap rokok di Jakarta… hiks.
Iyaa Non, suaranya enak banget, adem gitu. Ternyata live nya seindah rekaman nya pula..
Tulus! I listen to him every day on my way to work 😀 mau banget nonton doi live, pasti thumbs up banget!
Iya, bagus banget Ilse, suara live nya sama kayak rekaman.. bersih bangettt!
Next Next post: Our job = our life?


Step one, massive water change. Clean water is the best healer. Do you know what your nitrates are? How long has the tank been established?
When you say you quarantined him, did you put him in a different tank? That can be VERY stressful.
There are lots of barbs and lots of loaches available for this hoby. What kind do you have. Almost all loaches need to be in groups of their own species, keeping one solo may have caused it to become aggressive toward your elephant nose.
established over 3 months. We have 2 other tanks but I wanted to have a semi aggressive tank. We cycled the tank for some time before before slowly introducing any fish. I realized that the loaves are in one of our other tanks and the barbs are green tiger barbs. We had one angel fish. We had been very cautious about integrating new fish and always made sure there weren't any issues with the fish being territorial. The elephant nose was seemed very peaceful and happy. I had him eating from my hand. The only issue I ever saw was sometimes during feeding the barbs would try to take his bloodworms. That's why I hand fed him to make sure he got enough and it kept the other fish at a safe distance.
Do you know if it is possible to recuperate a fish like him with damage to the proboscis?
Feeling very sad. Definitely an eye opener as to how much he became a part of our life. I will make sure I do even more research before ever having another one as they are so special. We did allot of research, and spent allot of time asking questions regarding what was okay / safe for his environment ect...we came at it from every angle. What is interesting is that there are some conflicting points of advice we got. Reading how others have had theirs for 14/15 years... I understand how one can grow to love their fish so much.
thank you for your help! Any information for future would be welcomed.
We cycled the tank for some time before before slowly introducing any fish.
How did you do that? What was your source of ammonia?
I realized that the loaves are in one of our other tanks and the barbs are green tiger barbs. We had one angel fish.
So the tank with the elephant nose was a 48 gallon tank with 5 green tiger barbs and an angel fish?
I have no idea what damage he had, you saw him, I didn't.

What is interesting is that there are some conflicting points of advice we got. Reading how others have had theirs for 14/15 years... I understand how one can grow to love their fish so much.
Conflicting information is everywhere. Stop and ask yourself who you are asking for advice. Is this person in a position to gain from giving you poor advice? Fish stores gain financially by giving out poor information. You come back and buy more fish, more meds, more this and more that. Getting on a message board and talking to people that simply love the hoby and don't gain or lose by offering their opinion is a much more reliable way to get information. But even then, you will find someone that thinks they know it all offering up what worked for them even though they have never owned the same fish you have...so be cautious about whose advice you take.

Man Builds the World's Largest Rolling, Mechanical Planetarium in His Backyard
By Interesting Engineering
Inspired by the beauty of the sky when he was a kid, high-school graduate Frank Kovac built the largest rolling, mechanical, globe planetarium of the world in his backyard.
Frank Kovac, an ordinary guy from Wisconsin, fell in love with the sky at the age of 13. In over ten years, he built his own planetarium. Although he wanted to be an astrophysicist, he had to give up on his college degree. But, he never gave up on his dream, even when his friends called his project the 'sanitarium' because what he does was insane to them.
Surely, building a planetarium by himself was quite a task for Frank Kovac. Besides the astrophysical and mathematical knowledge, he also needed some serious engineering skills. But, after all, his passion won over.
Planetariums are basically theaters with domes, surrounding visitors with the projection of the universe for educational and entertainment purposes. By creating hyper-realistic celestial scenes, planetariums simulate the motion in the heavens. The large variety of technologies used in planetariums include precision-engineered 'star balls' that combine electro-mechanical and optical technology, lasers, video, full dome projector systems, and slide projectors.
The Kovac Planetarium
Kovac built his own telescope when he was 16 by using plywood for the support base and a tube that is originally for making concrete. His telescope was powerful enough to show the gap in the rings of the planet Saturn and the moons of Jupiter. However, Kovac thinks that the coolest thing he has ever made is his homemade planetarium.
Even if he says that he is not good with numbers, Kovac clearly has some engineering skills. But still building a planetarium is not easy at all. To cover all his project weighs about 4.000 pounds, he had the foundation to built around cost about a $180.000 over almost a period of 10 years. He basically explains the structure as;
"The globe is mostly sheets of plywood, some panel board. The motor drive is a half horsepower gear motor. The globe itself is mechanically operated it actually revolves around the audience and it is one of two others in the world and it is the largest."

Kovac built a 22-foot-diameter, two-ton globe tipped at 45 degrees based on the latitude of Wisconsin. Furthermore, he meticulously hand-painted over 5,000 stars by focusing on the exact position and brightness of each.
"I was able to plot each star with glow in the dark paint. I painted all 5,000 stars by hand with a tiny paintbrush one dot at a time which took about five months if you average eight hours a day. It was really painstaking on my neck, my back, spent many hours upon the ladder and I would even actually go outside on the clear nights to compare how mine looked in here and if I wasn't happy with it, I would get out the paint and put more paint on a certain star."
First steps to planetariums

But what were the first planetariums like?
Historians say that the earliest known depiction of the sky goes back to Senenmut, an Egyptian tomb from 1500 BCE. Following that, many scientists from various civilizations intended to build planetariums. In 500 BCE, Etruscans built the "The Dome of Heaven", the oldest known domed building in the history. Even Greek philosopher Plato played a role in developing planetariums by discussing that most humans perceive reality as shadows from projections on the inside of an enclosed space in his famous "Allegory of the Cave".
Farnese Atlas , the statue of the Greek Titan Atlas carrying the globe on his shoulders, is probably the oldest preserved globe. The position of the constellation figures to the globe's equinox date the globe itself to 370 BCE, whereas the statue of Atlas is dated 73 BCE. During the 250 BC, the Greek engineer, mathematician, astronomer, physicist, and inventor Archimedes demonstrated a cast-metal globe showing the motions of the planets for the first time ever, which Cicero later saw and described.

Around 50 BC, Egyptians built the Hathor Temple at Dendera. It contained two representations of the heavens. While the round zodiac ceiling showed the whole sky as it was understood by both Egyptian and Greek cultures; square zodiac in the outer hypostyle hall was containing images of Taurus and the Libra as well as dates of eclipses.
Rotating dome of Emperor Nero
During 62 CE, Emperor Nero has built a large-scale portico villa named the Golden House, including a dome rotating with the sky in the heart of ancient Rome. But surely the late 16th century has been a milestone for the evolution of planetariums. Following the Celestial Globe of Tycho Brahe, Globe of Gottorf, Navajo 'Star Ceilings' in Canyon De Chelly, Eise Eisinga built a planetarium in Franeker, a province of Friesland, Netherland, between 1774–1781. It is now the oldest working planetarium in the world.
The second important milestone in fields of astronomy and physics has been the foundation of Carl Zeiss Company, founded in 1846, which later became the leading name of the high-quality optical goods.
Invented by Prof. E. Hindermann in Basel in 1912, orbitoscope has taken scientists into a new era. The year after, in 1913, the Museum of the Chicago Academy of Sciences built the Atwood Globe with a diameter of almost five meters showing 692 stars and a moveable light bulb representing the Sun.
As for the Kovac Planetarium, it is big enough to welcome 25 people at once. But even if only a few people show up, Kovac always sticks to the program schedule. He is still using an electrically powered machine with a variable speed motor controller; because he can't afford to have a new projection system yet. However, Kovac still works full-time in the paper mill, and he believes that if more visitors visit his planetarium he may be able to upgrade the Kovac Planetarium.

death, dementia, family, fiction, main, picturebooks
by Minerva • October 4, 2015
Sunday October 4th was National Grandparents' Day. Apparently it was introduced to the UK in 1990 by the charity Age Concern, although I have to admit we've never celebrated it in our family. I'd like to think we have grandparents' day most weeks!
There are some wonderful grandparents in children's literature. Grandpa Joe from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory remains my favourite, after all he introduces the idea of the 'Vermicious Knid'. Heidi's relationship with her grandfather is special: "Because I would a thousand times rather be with grandfather on the mountain than anywhere else in the world."
But how do we explain things to our youngest children when this special relationship goes awry with a disease, or ends with death. Two very clever, effective and enjoyable children's picture books can help:
Lovely Old Lion by Julia Jarman and Susan Varley aims to explain Alzheimer's in a gentle way. Using the picture book trait of anthropomorphism – using animals to convey truths in a less direct way – it tells the story of King Lion, once kingly and now forgetting things.
It is told through the eyes of grandson Lenny, who struggles when his grandfather forgets what he's doing, and forgets Lenny's name. The illustrations are softly coloured, yet warm, with acute attention to detail. The King's crown lays hooked over the edge of the chair, adding to the other signs of the changing role of grandpa lion – from his carefully placed reading glasses to his walking stick – this is a lion beginning to show the vulnerabilities and fragilities of old age. Throughout the book King Lion displays more signs of dementia:
"But not so clever now, not so kingly and sometimes not so kind."
The words are as carefully chosen as the pictures have been drawn – Grandma explains to Lenny that Grandpa is not himself anymore – which leaves the young cub wondering who he is. It's a deep and meaningful way of exploring this sensitive topic with young children. The choice of animal is obvious and clever – the once kingly animal, now reduced, most particularly in other's eyes. Humiliation is a key theme, Lenny sticking up for his grandfather when he is laughed at by other animals.
The other elderly animals help Lenny to understand what's happening and also to be creative in helping King Lion to remember happy things from his childhood. Towards the end of the book the authors introduce the idea of transience – passing things down through generations as King Lion hands over his crown as the sun sets in the distance. The very last page indicates that King Lion has died, but that what lives on is memory – and of course respect and love for those elderly animals who are still around.
Susan Varley is also the author of Badger's Parting Gift, which is a fabulous picture book for those grieving for a dead grandparent. You can buy Lovely Old Lion here.
Grandad's Island by Benji Davies also displays the love and affection of a grandparent for their grandchild, and vice versa, as well as dealing with the inevitability of death.
Syd and his Grandad have a wonderful relationship, established by the fact that Syd can let himself into Grandad's house whenever he likes. They embark upon an adventure together when Grandad's house magically turns into a tall ship, and they land on a tropical island where they explore the wonders within.
From the cover, this book beckons the reader with an intense vibrancy of colour and detail, demanding to be explored. Benji Davies always sets his mood with deliberation and tenderness, from The Storm Whale to On Sudden Hill, and this is no different. The landscape of Grandad's house is suburban England, a beautiful image of a garden with a terrace of houses in the background. Each illustration in the book shows stunning perspective – from the image of the garden with flowers at the forefront of the picture, and the garden with bicycle against the wall at one step removed, then further back to the house and shed, and then the terraces greyed out still further behind. And when Grandad and Syd build their treehouse on the island, the reader feels as if they are peeking through the foliage to view it.
But it's the little details that shape the book too – before a voyage is mentioned, the reader can spy a model lighthouse through the window of the house; the attic abounds with treasures from long ago reflecting Grandad's age, including a gramophone, which also makes its way to the island; Syd holds his nose in a perfect childlike gesture when he jumps from a waterfall; the leaves on the tree on the island are actually held by ants.
Other imagery is stunning – the "ocean of rooftops" – lyrical in text but perfected in illustration as the water blends into the tiled roofs. Davies brings humour in abundance too, from the play on words 'they soon had everything shipshape', to the orang-utan bringing a tray of drinks, and Grandad's youthful glee.
At the end the island becomes a paradise with Grandad's belongings embedded in the jungle, and Grandad reveals that he has to stay behind. Syd travels home alone, but is lifted from his sadness and loneliness by a surprise delivery. As in Lovely Old Lion, the lasting image is that people live on in memories. It's certainly one of the most memorable books I've read in ages. Purchase it here.

Bryan's Worst 15 Films of the Year 2013!!
Dec 31, 2013 2013, an american girl, bryan kluger, chasing shakespeare, gangster squad, getaway, grown ups 2, hangover 3, identity thief, list, morgan spurlock, one direction, only god forgives, oz, oz the great and pwerful, pain and gain, runner runner, saige paints the sky, the grandmaster, the hangover, the lone ranger, the smurfs 2, this is us, worst, worst list
Well' I've already put out my Best List of the Year, now it's time for the Worst List of the year 2013. There were some amazing films to come out this year, but then again, there were some truly awful movies to be released as well. And here is that list of movies you should avoid at all costs. Be sure to check my Best List though too. Enjoy and have some laughs.
15) GANGSTER SQUAD (This film could have been a lot of fun, instead they tried to make a serious 'Dick Tracy' movie and it failed.)
14) THE LONE RANGER (What a mess from top to bottom. Completely missed the mark on casting here with a two hour span of time where nothing cool happened. At least the last 10 minutes was fun.)
13) RUNNER RUNNER (Literally nothing happened in this movie besides a scene where an alligator scared someone. Dumb.)
12) IDENTITY THIEF (The characters in this movie made me want to see them all die in a slow and agonizing death. Unfunny and a waste of time.)
11) OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL (Sam Raimi failed at making movies yet again with this horrible mess of a film. This whole film needed a new cast, a better plot, and better execution. At least Bruce Campbell is in it.)
10) THE HANGOVER III (The third Hangover movie doesn't even feature a Hangover. Instead there are a lot of animal deaths and unfunny murders. Weird.)
9) ONLY GOD FORGIVES (90 minutes of Ryan Gosling staring into the camera – literally.)
8) THE SMURFS 2 (It's as if they didn't try with this sequel at all. Unfunny, boring, and stupid.)
7)PAIN AND GAIN (Fuck Michael Bay in his stupid well-coiffed big head. This is a truly an awful film about how Michael Bay got his start in movies. Terrible. At least The Rock was awesome in this. )
6) GETAWAY (Selena Gomez might be the worst actress ever. This could have been a cool movie, but everything about was poorly executed to the point where I wanted to gouge out my eyes and cut off my ears. This movie made no sense.)
5) GROWN UPS 2 (The first one was awful, and if you can believe it, the second one is even worse. These guys don't even try anymore and it's pathetic.)
4) ONE DIRECTION: THIS IS US (Morgan Spurlock is a great filmmaker, but he had no say whatsoever, and the horrible band One Direction just pulled pranks one one another for almost two hours. Simply awful music and movie.)
3) CHASING SHAKESPEARE (The amount of cheese in this movie is on a level that you can't begin to imagine. Boring, terrible filmmaking, and Danny Glover should be ashamed to put his name on this. This movie is so bad, Amazon won't even sell it.)
http://zombotpictures.com/Chasing_Shakespeare.html
2) AN AMERICAN GIRL: SAIGE PAINTS THE SKY (I almost drank a full gallon of detergent to take myself out of my own misery from watching this piece of garbage. Bratty kids suck and should be put in prison.)
1) THE GRANDMASTER (Ip Man is awesome, which this is supposedly based on, but the entire movie is in slow motion with some of the worst fight scenes ever put on screen. This movie should never be seen and sealed, burned, and thrown to the bottom of the ocean. The most bored and disappointed I've been at the theater this year.)

Decision Sciences Institute provides forums to create, disseminate and use knowledge to improve managerial decision making involving systems and people.
Decision Sciences Institute will be recognized globally as a scholarly professional association that creates, develops, fosters and disseminates knowledge to improve managerial decisions.
improve educational programs and instruction in the decision sciences.
To facilitate these goals, the Institute shall provide for the exchange of information among those who extend, apply and teach the decision sciences.
In November 1968, a small group of faculty members representing a national cross-section of schools met in Atlanta to lay the groundwork for an organization that would encourage interdisciplinary communication in the emerging field of decision sciences.
A year later, about 100 charter members met in New Orleans to hold the first annual meeting of the American Institute for the Decision Sciences (renamed Decision Sciences Institute in 1986). The annual meeting now draws over 1,500 participants who are interested in active dialogue in the now well-established discipline. The Institute's flagship journal, Decision Sciences, first published in 1970, is now a highly recognized publication among practitioners and academicians.
The Decision Sciences Institute (DSI) is a professional organization of academicians and practitioners interested in the application of quantitative and behavioral methods to the problems of society.
Through national, international, and regional conferences; competitions; and publications, the Institute provides an international forum for presenting and sharing research in the study of decision processes across disciplines. The Institute also plays a vital role in the academic community by offering professional development activities and job placement services.
Five regional subdivisions in the United States, as well as regions representing Europe, Mexico, Asia-Pacific and the Indian subcontinent, operate independently within the Institute (see regions). Each region has its own elected officers and representative on the board of directors and holds annual meetings.
The Institute, an independent non-profit educational organization, is located in Houston, Texas, where it receives extensive support from the C.T. Bauer College of Business at the University of Houston.


A new police station, another plaza on First Street, Wahlburgers opening, and more. Look for several new developments throughout St. Charles in 2019. Read about it the article, "Riverfront Revival," in the January 2019 issue.


Discussion in 'Computer Peripherals & Consumables' started by dudesweet, Jan 24, 2008.
After searching I have only found 22 inch LG, Samsung or ASUS monitors.Really after a 24inch.
Reason I need an inbuilt TV tuner is because there are 2 sky boxes, not in my room,and these have been wired up so that I receive the feed of both into my room through a single aerial input. Currently that is on my CRT, so I assume if I got a monitor with inbuilt TV tuner it would work fine.
Otherwise, any other ideeas? I am not sure if a TV tuner on desktop would recognise BOTH inputs. Might be a stupid question, just not so sure if it would work as well/easily.
I may settle for a 22inch Samsung as it will be used as a monitor more than a TV, but buying a PS3 soon and wouldn't mind getting full 1080p.


Hmm. The crowd loved Hugh Jackman's song-and-dance number, but it seemed A Bit Much to me, particularly Anne Hathaway getting up and singing (in a different dress than she had on the red carpet!). Isn't she getting enough attention tonight already?
I don't remember people in gold and silver unitards in "The Reader"; do you? That bit reminded me of Debbie Allen's famous Oscar dance numbers in decades past, which I thought Oscar was done with. Jackman's certainly relaxed, but he's not Billy Crystal, who knew how to make just a tiny bit of nervousness funny.
