Arda Alden Green (May 7, 1899 – January 22, 1958) was an American biochemist who co-discovered the neurotransmitter serotonin and discovered the reaction responsible for firefly bioluminescence. She is also known for contributing to Gerty Cori and Carl Cori's elucidation of the Cori cycle and showing how pH affects hemoglobin's ability to bind and transport oxygen. She received the Garvan-Olin Medal from the American Chemical Society for her work.

Early life and education
Arda Green was born in Prospect, Pennsylvania, daughter of Vennis A. Green and Melva Stevenson Green. Her father taught chemistry, and her sister Metta Clare Green (Loomis) earned a PhD in physics. The Green family moved to California when Arda was a girl. Arda Green earned undergraduate degrees in chemistry and philosophy at the University of California at Berkeley in 1921; she continued into graduate study of philosophy, but soon shifted her focus to medicine.  She earned a medical degree at Johns Hopkins University in 1927.

She started medical studies at Berkeley, but took a year off to study under protein biochemist Edwin J. Cohn at Harvard University at the encouragement of Herbert M. Evans. She then completed her medical studies at Johns Hopkins University, where she worked on electrolyte conductivity in membranes with Leonor Michaelis and graduated in 1927.

Career
After graduate study, Green worked as a National Research Council fellow in medicine at Harvard University, working in the laboratory of Edwin Cohn and specializing in developing methods for isolating and purifying proteins. In the period from 1930 until 1932, Green conducted research at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution where she worked with Alfred C. Redfield on respiration in porpoises and a project on hemoglobin in certain fish. She collaborated with Ronald M. Ferry on studies into hemoglobin's pH dependence and would later continue characterizing hemoglobin's solubility and interactions with carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. During her time at Harvard, she also worked as a research fellow in the lab of Lawrence J. Henderson, spent seven years as a research associate in pediatrics, and tutored biochemical sciences at Radcliffe College.

In 1941, she moved to the Washington University in St. Louis in Missouri, where she worked with Gerty Cori and Carl Cori as an assistant professor of biochemistry. Green isolated pure phosphorylase, a key enzyme in the Cori cycle pathway that breaks down the sugar storage molecule glycogen, playing a critical role in the elucidation of glycogen metabolism. At Washington University she also purified other important metabolic enzymes including aldolase, which breaks down fructose.

In 1945, she was appointed to the faculty at the Cleveland Clinic, working with Irvine Page. It was at Cleveland that she co-discovered and named serotonin, an important organic compound, with Page and Maurice M. Rapport. She also isolated and studied, in collaboration with F. M. Bumpus, molecules important in blood pressure regulation including angiotensinogen (the precursor to angiotensin) and angiotonin (hypertension).

Green's career concluded at Johns Hopkins University; she began studying the chemistry of bioluminescence with William D. McElroy at the McCollum-Pratt Institute there in 1953. She isolated firefly luciferase, discovered the reaction that makes fireflies glow, and began work on bacterial bioluminescence, but was unable to complete it due to illness.

Green received the Garvan-Olin Medal from the American Chemical Society in autumn 1957 and it was formally awarded posthumously in April 1958.

Personal life
Green died in January 1958, from breast cancer, at the age of 58.

Monica S. — Ascend P.T.
I had a shoulder problem that was not improved when I saw another health care professional, but Nat helped me get better in less than a month -- just in time for some major karate events I had.
I am even more grateful for the help Nat gave my 17-year-old son. We came in for what we thought was a strained calf muscle, but it turned out to be much more serious. Nat examined him and said that before we try any physical therapy, we should get an ultrasound to rule out a blood clot. It turned out that my son *did* have a Deep Vein Thrombosis! So, Nat called it exactly, even though blood clots are rare in teenagers.

Q: truncate method truncating at random(?) length I'm using truncate with a "read more" link in a Rails project. But very strangely, it's truncating the content at seemingly random places. Here's the code in my view:
<%= truncate(simple_format(article.content), length: 500, separator: ".", escape: false, omission: "... #{link_to("Read More", article}") %>

I measured the length where it's truncating and it's very random (like 278, 360, etc.). The split should happen at the end of a phrase (with separator: ".") and I'm checking if it could be related to that, but no. Even though there are other phrases within 500 chars, it splits way before.
Removing the omission argument actually solved it. I'm wondering why this happens.

A: The escaped HTML chars are actually counted in the length. This includes the link and title of your article.
By defaut in Rails, the link to your article will be something like /articles/1. But if you use a gem like friendly_id which creates slugged URLs such as /some-slugged-article-title, each article link will have a different length. This is what creates this variation in the truncating length.
In order to split around 500 characters of the visible text, you'll need to add the length of your article's title in the length argument. You can do so with this:
<%= truncate(simple_format(article.content), length: 500 + article.title.length, separator: ".", escape: false, omission: "... #{link_to("Read More", article)}") %>


Situated within Cove Fort, the newly opened garden is beautifully landscaped and is within easy walking distance of the town centre. It overlooks the final anchorage of RMS Titanic at the mouth of Cork Harbour where on 11th April 1912 the final 123 passengers boarded the majestic Ocean Liner.
The focal point of the garden is a Glass Memorial Wall onto which the names of those 123 passengers are inscribed. The garden project was a collaboration between Cobh Town Council, the Cobh Titanic Centenary committee and Cobh Tourism and was funded by Cobh Town Council, Cork County Council, The County Cork Association of New York, Fáilte Ireland and South and East Cork Area Development Ltd (SECAD) through the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the National Development Plan.
On a bright sunny day the setting and views of Cork Harbour from here are stunning. Within the garden is a memorial stone to Bruce Ismay, the chairman of White Star Line in 1912 and a survivor of the sinking. There is also extensive information on famous ships that are associated with Cork Harbour.
Please note that there are no parking facilities within the garden. Please park on the roadway outside which is just 100 metres from the garden and glass memorial.

Exeter City have added midfielder Tom McCready to the ranks at St James Park on a contract until the end of the season.
The 23-year-old was previously with Morecambe on non-contract terms, and played 45 minutes from the bench against the Grecians during City's 2-0 win at the Globe Arena in October.
Tom made eight appearances for the Shrimps, before coming on trial at the Cat & Fiddle in January.


Tamera Mowry-Housley's was one of the victims in the Thousand Oaks shooting. Alaina Housley was a freshman at Pepperdine University. She and a group of friends went to the bar to go dancing when the shooting started.
Our prayers are with all of the people who were hurt and killed. Police are still working on the details about the shooting.


When Kristallnacht hit Hans Fuld's town of Weidenau in central Germany in November 1938, his father, the prominent owner of a large textile fabric store, was arrested. His mother said, "Don't be surprised if he doesn't come back." Hans's father was taken to the Dachau concentration camp—and Hans, then nine years old, remembers someone calling his mother to tell her that her husband was dead.
Hans was shocked. He was used to being called a dirty Jew, unable to go to parks or other public places, or even walk the street by himself, but he had never imagined the death of his father.
A year or so before, Hans' father closed his store. His mother wanted to leave Germany then, but he was adamant. He said he had a good life in Germany and this thing was not going to last, it's too crazy to last, and he wouldn't leave. "Then, of course, immediately after Kristallnacht, that's when my mother made the immediate decision to leave," Hans, now known as Harry, says.
Hans, his older brother, Ludwig, and mother, Julie, prepared for the trip. They had an American visa that would allow them entry in 1942. Hans' step-brother, Max Fuld, and a step-sister were already in America.
While the St. Louis was docked in the Havana harbor, Max Fuld flew down to greet them. But he was not allowed access to his family on board and could wave to them from one of the many boats that surrounded the ship and fascinated Harry.
Once the Joint's cable reached the ship that England, France, Holland, and Belgium would give St. Louis passengers asylum, the Fulds—like other passengers—had to fill out a card with their desired destination. Mrs. Fuld had a friend in England, so the family wanted to go there.

Great employees are the magic ingredient in any business' success. Quality workers are incredibly valuable assets and bring a variety of benefits to the company.
A strong base of hardworking and talented workers, can lead to increased productivity and quality of work, good company morale, reduced absenteeism and staff turnover, and improvements to the company's bottomline.
However, with such strong demand for high calibre workers across all industries, finding/attracting these talented individuals, and successfully recruiting them can be difficult.
Companies usually snap up the top notch employees that they find and endeavour to keep them for the long-term.
To seek out and hire your own fleet of super employees, you must know where to look and have a sound understanding of what they're looking for in an employer.
To attract top talent, the job description you create must be clear and positioned in a way that sets you apart from the competition. Being specific with your job description can help weed out candidates that won't be suitable for the role and who are simply applying for any position that is somewhat relevant. The clearer you are with what the role entails and what your expectations are of the candidate, the higher your chance will be of attracting the ideal person to carry out the duties outlined.
Also, in a highly competitive job market, it is important to position the available role and the company differently from other job offerings. Good workers know their worth, so to get them onboard you will need to find an angle that makes you unique and provides the best value. For example, you could include a section that gives the candidate an idea of the future trajectory their career could take if they were to be hired for the role, or any unique benefits/perks that the position offers. This helps to sweeten the deal and make your available position more appealing than the others.
The best way to do this is to compare your job description with similar job offerings in the market, and use that as inspiration to come up with something more interesting.
This is a long-term strategy that isn't strictly related to recruitment, however it can be an extremely effective in attracting top tier candidates directly to you, instead of scrambling to find them. Building and developing a positive company culture and possessing a well-respected employer brand will speak volumes for itself and make your company a sought out place to work, even if there are no positions currently being advertised. Having a strong employer brand will help give your company an edge over other businesses, and increase the appeal of your available role when they consider applying for a new position.
Employee referrals are extremely effective in bringing in quality workers that match the position to a tee, and who are more likely to stay with the company in the long-term. This is the case because your existing employees will have intimate knowledge of the company and the position being offered, enabling them to match the role with a person that will not only do the job well, but also be a good cultural fit. Employee referral programs are effective because the employee that has made the referral has already done some of the vetting on your behalf.
Also, since an exisiting worker of yours is recommending a potential employee, they will usually be of a high calibre as they are putting their own reputation on the line to vouch for them. This is because a bad recommendation can reflect poorly on them and may negatively affect their own standing in the company. In addition to this, a referral can have a motivating effect on the party that has been referred, as someone else believes in their abilities and has backed them.
So, trust your employees and let them help you find your next star worker. Not only will it save time and money on the recruitment process, but also help you build a more engaged workforce.
A Labour Hire Agency can be a great avenue to explore when looking for quality employees. This is because labour hire agencies are the experts when it comes to recruitment, and are often able to find your ideal candidate quickly and easily. Labour hire agencies have access to a large pool of workers who possess a variety of skills, experiences, and qualifications, which allows them to connect you with a worker that will be able to successfully fill the position. The use of a labour hire agency is especially beneficial if you are searching for very specialised skills. This is because their whole business hinges on the ability to match you with an ideal worker, so all their resources and efforts will be directed into finding them. Rather than your company diverting time and money away from core business functions and spending it on recruitment.
Are you looking for a labour hire agency that will help you match your role, with a worker that ticks all the boxes? Look no further than Workfast Labour Hire!

What is rotten in the Murray-Darling Basin?
Toxic: what is rotten in the Murray-Darling Basin?
It's not just fish.
The devastating scene of thousands of dead fish in one of Australia's most important river systems highlights a failure of governance and policy, Quentin Grafton, Emma Carmody (of EDO NSW), Matthew Colloff and John Williams write.
By Quentin Grafton, Emma Carmody (of EDO NSW), Matthew Colloff, John Williams
11 January 2019: Anyone who has seen the video of rotting fish along a 20-kilometre reach of the Darling River near Menindee Lakes in New South Wales must wonder how we got to this point. We witness grown men crying over dead Murray Cod – one of Australia's iconic freshwater fish species – killed by insufficient oxygen in the water.

Yet our 'leaders' run away from what is really happening, and write media statements that fail to answer the real questions. Meanwhile, the Chief Executive of the Murray-Darling Basin Authority (MDBA), that oversees the Basin Plan and who is supposed to manage that river system, plays the 'blame game'.
Sadly, it's like 1991 again when the Darling River suffered from an algal bloom so devastating it prompted governments to rethink water management. That led to the National Water Initiative and, eventually, the 2012 Basin Plan. It was a plan that was supposed to 'fix the Basin'.
This devastating fish kill is yet another 'wake up' call to our leaders: blue-green algae outbreaks, dead fish and dying rivers are not simply caused by the drought as is claimed by the NSW Irrigators Council. They are happening because we are extracting too much water from our rivers; failing to set limits on extraction that take into account climate change; allowing environmental water to be legally pumped; failing to introduce sufficient measures to protect water quality; and emptying the Menindee Lakes more frequently than is ecologically safe.
Add a prolonged period without rainfall to the equation, and it's a time bomb waiting to happen.
This current tragedy was predicted and is no surprise. The river is like a piggy bank, if you keep taking money out without saving for the future you end up bankrupt – and just when you need it the most. At this time of drought, good water management ensures the resilience of rivers' aquatic ecosystems. Clearly, this has not happened along the Darling River.
Some 1,200 billion litres of water were extracted for irrigation in 2014-15 in the Northern Basin (according to the latest data available) yet only a tiny fraction, or about 35 billion litres, actually arrived at Bourke from upstream in the past year.
This is about a failure of water reform, and a dereliction of duty – the drought is simply the straw that broke the camel's back.
This is about how governments have failed to govern and to protect the common good of the people they were elected to serve.
The Murray-Darling Basin Royal Commission, established in South Australia to investigate the operations and effectiveness of the Basin Plan, will report next month. But its Senior Counsel, Richard Beasley SC, has already concluded: "The implementation of the Basin Plan has been marred by maladministration. By that I mean mismanagement by those in charge of the task in the Basin Authority, its executives and its board, and the consequent mismanagement of huge amounts of public funds."
Limits on water extraction, water quality measures, and the legal extraction of environmental water are currently governed by Basin state laws.
The legal regime in New South Wales has failed the Darling, Lower Darling, and Menindee Lakes on all three counts. Under the state's laws, relevant water quality provisions are largely non-binding and poorly implemented while embargos on the pumping of environmental water may only be imposed at the discretion of the Minister (which rarely occurs).
The immediate trigger for the fish kill was inadequate stream flows, which caused surface water to stop mixing with the cooler bottom layer. Water heated up rapidly to over 30 degrees and then lost its oxygen – the warmer the water, the less dissolved oxygen that fish need to survive.
The fish kill featured in the video that has gone viral around the world is not even the first in the last month. Before Christmas, another devastating event wiped out some 10,000 fish. Yet, if there had been regular, carefully co-ordinated water-quality assessment it would have shown the sequence of events that led to this catastrophe.
And this has happened before. Ecologists who investigated the 2004 fish kill on the Lower Darling River recommended improved water quality monitoring and adequate storage at Menindee Lakes for downstream releases so as to improve water quality. Yet the agencies responsible failed to act on this advice.
What makes the tragedy even worse is that Menindee Lakes is believed to be an important spawning area for Murray cod and golden perch. As the fish from the latest kill decay, the substances they release will contribute to poor water quality downstream, storing up ecological problems for the future.
Those in charge of water management in the Basin were told what would happen as far back as 2010, and that the problem would get worse unless less water was extracted from rivers. They were also told what they should do to stop it from happening.
As certain parts of the Basin Plan come into force, jurisdiction over some of the causes identified above will shift to the Commonwealth. However, without some changes, it won't get better.
So what is the solution? For a start, the Water Act 2007 should be amended to improve governance arrangements and reduce the possibility of conflicts of interest undermining the lawful management of Basin water resources.
Next, the Basin Plan should also be amended to increase recovery of water for the environment, augment actual stream flows, and buffer against the impacts of climate change. Full accounting of where water goes in the Basin, including return flows from farmers' fields, must occur, while controversial changes to the management of the Menindee Lakes need to be reconsidered and any water infrastructure projects that are claimed to deliver the equivalent of increased stream flows should be subject to rigorous cost-benefit analysis to ensure they deliver a net positive public benefit.
'Water resource plans' for each catchment, which come into force within the next year or so, must also include rules to maintain sufficient flows and water quality, and to protect environmental water from legal pumping.
The Oxford University Dictionary named 'toxic' as the 2018 word of the year. Its choice reflects our times and describes both our deteriorating state of the Basin and the failures of those who we elect and appoint to positions of authority.
Yet these decision-makers carry on as if all is going according to plan. How toxic is that?

Q: JavaFX ContextMenu doesn't auto-hide I have a JavaFX ContextMenu assigned to the right mouse button click of a scrollpane. It opens, but it doesn't close when you click outside the scrollpane. I could add another mouse event to the scrollpane in order to hide it, but that solves only 1 problem. The main problem is that when I click on any component of the scrollpane, then the context menu remains open.
Example: Open popup via right mouse button click, then click on the button. The popup menu is still open.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.control.ContextMenu;
import javafx.scene.control.MenuItem;
import javafx.scene.control.ScrollPane;
import javafx.scene.input.MouseEvent;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.shape.Rectangle;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class Main extends Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {

        final ContextMenu contextMenu = new ContextMenu();

        MenuItem item1 = new MenuItem("About");
        MenuItem item2 = new MenuItem("Preferences");

        contextMenu.getItems().addAll(item1, item2);

        Rectangle rect = new Rectangle( 100,100,150,150);
        Button button = new Button( "Button Text");

        // create nodes
        Group root = new Group();
        root.getChildren().add( rect);
        root.getChildren().add( button);

        // create scrollpane
        ScrollPane sp = new ScrollPane( root);
        sp.setOnMousePressed(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
            @Override
            public void handle(MouseEvent event) {

                if (event.isSecondaryButtonDown()) {
                    contextMenu.show( sp, event.getScreenX(), event.getScreenY());
                }
            }
        });

        // create scene
        Scene scene = new Scene(sp, 400, 400, Color.WHITE);

        // add scene to primary stage
        primaryStage.setScene( scene);
        primaryStage.show();
    }
}

The documentation says that there's a setAutoHide method, but it doesn't work in my case:

Specifies whether Popups should auto hide. If a popup loses focus and
  autoHide is true, then the popup will be hidden automatically.  The
  only exception is when owner Node is specified using
  show(javafx.scene.Node, double, double). Focusing owner Node will not
  hide the PopupWindow.
@defaultValue false

Thank you very much!

A: I know that this is old post, but for any newcomer I found a new solution. I have an jdk 1.8 and I have the same problem as you, but I have a dynamic generated context menu in TableView. So when you right click on the row I need another context menu by the row content. The key for my solution is that you execute show method in the context menu you pass on the window parameter to the method. Example of my code is below:
ContextMenu contextMenu = this.createContextMenu();
contextMenu.show(this.tableView.getScene().getWindow(), mouseEvent.getScreenX(), mouseEvent.getScreenY());

And when I click to another location of my program, the context menu hide.

A: Interacting with child elements of the parent, will get a focus to that parent. So the context menu will not hide when the button in your code is clicked.
Try these two approaches:
1) Manually manage the visibility of context menu, i.e. hide it on button click:
button.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
    @Override
    public void handle(ActionEvent arg0) {
        contextMenu.hide();
    }
});

2) Use setContextMenu() instead of showing the context menu on mouse press event:
sp.setContextMenu(contextMenu);

Very cold today and during the afternoon it rained a bit and after tea it was looking like rain again and it did, starting about 2300hrs and lasting all night. Got our Battle Dress and usual winter issue also a good heavy shirt and tie with all the pretty coloured ribbons sewed on my battle dress I will look like a rainbow.
As usual today was very quiet, not even our usual parade at 0900hrs. Tom Stokes(?) is going to England tomorrow on the two weeks leave he has been trying to get for four months. He is going to get some bulletins for me from England. They are dealing with poultry, gardens and fruits.


Relating to having entertainment for a special occasion or occasion, there are particular steps you'll be able to take to ensure that you and your company have an exquisite and profitable event, and extra importantly, the entertainer is what you anticipated. A movie producer doesn't wish to suffer a again declare for expertise compensation, or a disgruntled location-landlord, or state child labor authorities – threatening to enjoin or shut the movement picture manufacturing down for causes that would have been easily avoided by careful planning, drafting, research, and communication with one's film lawyer or entertainment lawyer.
Previous to joining the corporate, he worked at ITV Studios as a member of their enterprise affairs group. Overland creates distinctive corporate and special occasions for each massive and small firms and organizations. However think about this: if the movie producer sells or options the venture, one of many first things that the movie distributor or movie purchaser (or its own film and leisure lawyer counsel) will want to see, is the "chain of title" and growth and production file, full with all signed agreements.
Our team has a demonstrated skill in producing and delivering occasions of every kind from small meet and greets, to spectacular ticketed events that see over 100 thousand guests in a single season. In entertainment, a production firm depends extremely on expertise or a well-known entertainment franchise to raise the value of an leisure mission and draw out bigger audiences.
Speak to family and friends and see if they've used leisure of this nature for any of their events. It is even doable to supply out these services from one roof only as just a few of occasions firms additionally offer gear resembling microphones, sound techniques, lighting, and projectors to make any occasion turn into fantastic. When contemplating the importance of these corporate occasions, think about this from the employee's point of view.
Issues like music cue, sound volume, microphone efficiency and changing lights might be addressed by the occasions firm. Corporate occasions are no exception. Eclipse Leisure has expertise producing grand openings, product launches, company theatre, promotions, occasion advertising, fundraising galas and many more events. We will even use our expertise and expertise to answer any questions you might have about entertainment and production points.


Philanthropy launches its own Project 54!
The Women In Africa Foundation (WIA) Philanthropy launched an unprecedented project on April 12, 2018: to create the first delegation of women entrepreneurs coming from the 54 countries of the continent. This ambitious project is conducted with the global strategy consulting firm : Roland Berger and a French multinational banking and financial services company: Société Générale, very involved on the subject of entrepreneurship in Africa. Focus.
Seven of the ten fastest-growing countries in the world are in Africa. In this regard, supporting women who disrupt the continent's future through technological innovation is a win-win and sustainable investment for both African and international economies.
This is the commitment of the Women In Africa (WIA) Philanthropy Foundation, whose mission is to reveal and accelerate the innovative entrepreneurial initiatives of young and high-potential African women by integrating them into WIA Philanthropy. "If entrepreneurship has become a quasi-fashionable phenomenon among the young generation in Europe and the United States, African women choose entrepreneurship to contribute to the structural development of their country and often, unfortunately, also for a question of survival. We have much to learn from the great resilience of these women who will build the future of the continent, through innovations and disruptive technologies. Their talents and projects must be brought to light and accompanied. They could offer us unsuspected outlook!" says Marine Liboz Thomas, President of the WIA Philanthropy Foundation.
In 2017, first year of this initiative, WIA Philanthropy promoted African women entrepreneurs who created pioneering companies in their sector to public opinion and to social and economic circles. "We received 260 applications in six weeks via 400 institutions. Sixteen laureates composed the first delegation of WIA Philanthropy. They were invited to present their project during a dedicated evening at our World Club Marrakech Summit" says Marine Liboz Thomas. In 2018, this dynamic has been amplified.
At the end of the West Africa Regional Summit in Dakar on April 12, 2018, a new call for application was launched to create the first delegation of women entrepreneurs coming from the 54 countries of the African continent. A premiere across the continent! "With Roland Berger, we have established very precise selection criteria. The start-up must be created or managed by an African woman; the product or service or technology must be innovative and / or has a strong social impact; that the start-up has achieved a first pull on the market (turnover, number of users, funds raised, …); the business model has proven itself and is able to adapt; the growth potential is strong in his own country, in Africa and in the world. And finally that the team is ambitious and has great execution capabilities" says Marine Liboz Thomas.
During the summer, an international jury will select the winners of the 2018 promotion. Their support and media coverage will officially begin on the special occasion of the WIA Revelations Night, organized during the second edition of the International Women In Africa Annual Summit (WIA) Initiative in Marrakech (Morocco) on September 27th and 28th, 2018.
This exceptional evening will offer an international coverage to the winners, as well as extensive networking with more than four hundred leaders and major investors. A mentoring scheme will be initiated so that experienced female leaders from the Women In Africa (WIA) Initiative Community will accompany these talented young women. This mentoring will complete the coaching program that the laureates will have received before the Annual Summit and for which a platform dedicated to training (thematic MOOC on speaking, pitch, business opportunities, …) will be specially created. Project 54 should again attract numerous applications from talented African women! All this project is followed bu-y WIA Mag and the social networks of Women In Africa (WIA) Initiative, Roland Berger and Société Générale.

"Parents Who Are Non-Married"
Legal Aspects of Unmarried Parenthood
From https://www.mass.gov/service-details/unmarried-parenting-guide
There are three major legal issues related to unmarried parenthood: 1) Paternity establishment; 2) Child support; and 3) Visitation. Children have a right to all three. Even though it may seem unfair, you can have one without the other.
Paternity establishment
The only way your child can have a legal father is if you establish paternity. Most often this is done by both parents signing a form in the hospital or in the city or town clerk's office where the child was born. You can also request that the court order genetic marker testing and name the legal father. Establishing paternity gives your child important rights he or she would not otherwise have. These include: 1) Financial support to help meet your child's needs; 2) Access to the father's medical history in the case of illness or disease; and, 3) Access to the father's benefits such as Social Security, pensions, health insurance, inheritance.
Child support is a way for parents who don't live together to share the financial responsibility for their child. The parent living with the child spends a lot of income to meet the child's needs. The other parent needs to provide income to help provide the child's Food, Clothing, Housing, Transportation, School supplies, etc. Usually child support is arranged through a court order. Either parent can ask for an order - directly from the court, or with the help of the child support agency (in Massachusetts, the Department of Revenue). If you are paying child support directly to the other parent - with or without a court order - keep written records of all your payments to avoid disputes. Money order receipts and cancelled checks are good payment records. It is best not to make child support payments in cash.
Visitation order
Visitation establishes a way for a parent who doesn't live with a child to spend regular time with the child. It is different from legal or physical custody. Legal custody is the right to make decisions about the child's Daily activities, Healthcare, Religion and Education. Physical custody is who the child lives with most of the time. Parents who agree on a visitation or parenting plan can have the court enter their agreements as orders. If parents can't agree, the court can make its own orders. The goal of the court is to make an arrangement that is in the child's best interest.
What the Court considers in creating visitation orders
Age and developmental stage of the child; The individual needs of the child; History of the relationship between the parents; How close parents live to each other; Parents' work schedule; Parents' problems such as Substance abuse, Domestic violence, Child abuse, or a criminal record. These are general guidelines, so not everything may fit your situation. This is especially true if there is a history of unsafe behavior during visits, high conflict between the parents or domestic violence. In these cases, the court may need to make recommendations about how to set up the visits to keep everyone safe.
Resolving Issues by Litigation or Mediation
From https://divorcingoptions.com/three_approaches.php
Anthony C. Adamopoulos' Divorce Resolution Services, notes that you have potentially three divorce approaches.
· The Adversarial/Traditional Approach
In the Adversarial Approach, each spouse has their own lawyer who is obligated to advocate for their best interests. If parties are unable to reach agreement, then they must turn to a third person - a judge or arbitrator – to resolve what the parties cannot. A judge or arbitrator resolves an issue or issues by hearing the evidence then issuing a Judgment (by the judge) or an Award (by the arbitrator).
Because of the nature of the process, Adversarial Divorce is usually the most expensive in time, emotion, and money. Court trials take longer to schedule and happen. They are "rule heavy" and subject to appeal.
· The Collaborative Approach
In Collaborative Divorce, each party has their own attorney who is specially trained in the practice of Massachusetts Collaborative Divorce. Both attorneys collaborate in gathering all information necessary to resolve disputed issues. Collaborative Divorce is a way for the spouses to end their marriage without the threat and uncertainty of going to court as in a traditional (adversarial) divorce. Both spouse's goals for resolution are determined ahead of time and outlined in a contract signed by each spouse, both attorneys and a coach/facilitator.
Benefits of Collaborative Divorce: 1) allows couples to save the additional cost, time, loss of privacy and emotional distress associated with an adversarial divorce; 2) fosters open communication, encourages respect and helps to protect future working relationships between future former spouses; 3) focuses on problem solving and the resolution of issues from a client-driven and client-controlled perspective; and 4) focuses on the best interests and concerns of both spouses and children.
· The Mediation Approach
In Mediation, the divorcing parties usually do not have an attorney at their side but instead meet together with a neutral called a mediator. With the mediator, they attempt to resolve issues face-to-face. Divorce Mediation is usually less expensive than Adversarial Divorce. In mediation, the process concentrates on "interests" and "goals" rather than "positions" or "entitlements". In Massachusetts, a mediator cannot, by law, give legal advice. Therefore, you and your spouse should consider each having your own attorney with whom each of you may consult when needed. Usually, attorneys do not attend mediation sessions; typically, each acts as an advisor "on call".
What Is Mediation?
MASSACHUSETTS COUNCIL ON FAMILY MEDIATION https://mcfm.org/mediation/choose-mediation
Mediation is effective when there is a difference in styles of communication and expression between the parties involved. A trained mediator can facilitate a discussion and make sure the needs and thoughts of each party are expressed and heard. Mediators are neutral, trained professionals who may have backgrounds in law, mental health, finance, and/or business. The mediators' role is to guide participants through the relevant issues, and facilitate the discussion of realistic solutions through brainstorming, experience, and attentive listening.
Mediation is a method often chosen by divorcing couples who wish to maintain an amicable relationship with each other throughout the process and avoid the hostility and expense which often accompany litigation. The mediator guides participants through the issues that will be included in the divorce agreement so that when the mediation is complete, participants will have the information they need to finalize their divorce.
If unmarried parents have children (whether or not they are living together), parenting, and support of the children can raise important and complicated issues. An experienced family mediator can help you come to decisions about the practical considerations of raising children out-of-wedlock without resorting to litigation. Mediation for unmarried parents can assist with decisions regarding: Child Support, Parenting Plan, and Establishing Paternity.
IS MEDIATION FOR US?

What Is a Parenting Plan?
A Parenting Plan is a written plan outlining: the responsibilities of each parent for the children, where the children will primarily reside and when they will be with each parent. The Parenting Plan provides a framework through which parents come to agreement about their expectations of each other in relation to their respective responsibilities for the children and is developed with the best interest of the child(ren) as the foundation.
Parenting Plans may certainly be developed solely by the parents, or parents may find it beneficial to use the assistance of a mediator in the development of the plan.
https://mcfm.org/mediation/choose-mediation
For more information about parenting plans, see the Model Parenting Plans released by the Massachusetts Probate and Family Court Department at the following website: https://www.mass.gov/files/documents/2016/08/wk/parentingplan.pdf
The state of New Hampshire offered a useful Parenting Plan format that can serve as a model for parents wishing to print out as a guide to develop a plan for themselves.

What Is a Guardian Ad Litem?
From http://magalinc.org/resources/Documents/GAL-Category-E-standards-2008.pdfhttp://magalinc.org/resources/Documents/GAL-Category-F-standards-2008.pdf
A GAL is a mental health professional or an attorney who may be appointed in cases that raise questions about: • a child's best interests as related to custody and visitation; • advantages or disadvantages of removing a child from the Commonwealth; • changes in circumstances that might warrant modification of a judgment; • existence of a de facto parent-child relationship; • parental fitness as related to termination of parental rights or guardianship; • paternity of a minor child; or • other matters implicating the rights and interests of a minor child.
The court, not the GAL, decides legal issues and ultimately makes credibility determinations and factual findings when facts are in dispute. The GAL avoids providing legal conclusions or legal analysis and addresses only those areas specified by the Court. If the GAL sees a need to broaden the scope of the evaluation, the GAL seeks authority from the Court. After conducting the evaluation and writing a report, the GAL shall be available for trial and for possible deposition. The GAL in all cases is an impartial investigator, evaluator and reporter. The GAL shall not provide legal, mental health, parent coordination, mediation or other professional services to any party or the child during the evaluation or pendency of the case. The GAL, however, may provide information to the parties, the court, and counsel about community resources available to the parties, such as but not limited to substance abuse treatment programs.

What Is a Parenting Coordinator?
From https://www.mass.gov/probate-and-family-court-rules/probate-and-family-court-standing-order-1-17-parenting-coordination
"Parenting coordination" is a child-focused process in which the parties work with a parenting coordinator in an effort to reduce the effects or potential effects of conflict on the child or children involved in the parenting plan. A "Parenting Coordinator" pursuant to Standing Order 1-17 of the Chief Justice is a court-appointed, third-party provider of parenting coordination services.
A Parenting coordinator may: (a) assist the parties in amicably resolving disputes and in reaching agreements about the implementation of and compliance with the order regarding the child or children in their care…: (b) educate the parties about making and implementing decisions that are in the best interest of the child or children; (c) assist the parties in developing guidelines for appropriate communication between them; (d) suggest resources to assist the parties; and (e) assist the parties, where appropriate, in identifying and addressing patterns of behavior and in developing parenting strategies to manage and reduce opportunities for conflict in order to reduce the impact of any conflict upon their child or children.

Read the full Chart History here:
Nantucket was, from the 1760s, one of the major centres of the whaling trade in North America, and this historic chart shows the harbour and town of Nantucket, the lighthouse and a 'Pest House'.
This offers a clue as to the significance of Nantucket during the Revolutionary War. A 'Pest House' was a hospital or hostel used for persons afflicted with communicable diseases such as tuberculosis, cholera, or smallpox. It would have been used for forcible quarantine, and was generally sited close to a cemetery or a waste pond for disposal of the dead. The cartography also includes details such as rope walks (a long straight narrow lane, or a covered pathway, where long strands of material were laid before being twisted into rope), churches, roads and settlement lots on Martha's Vineyard.
The chart was originally published as 2 separate sheets - an eastern sheet showing Nantucket Island, and a western sheet showing part of Martha's Vineyard and the western tip of Nantucket. The Heritage Charts reproduction combines both sheets into one stunning chart. The nautical soundings and remarks were made by Lieut. John Knight, who includes sailing directions as required by the seaman of the time. The land survey was completed by George Sproule (Sprowle).

... [Let] me ask you to look at the most recent (September 2013) Forbes list of the 400 wealthiest Americans. From Bill Gates at the top to Nicholas Woodman at the bottom, all are billionaires. Yet 261 of these people are self-made.
That is, nearly two-thirds earned their fortunes through creative entrepreneurial effort and risk-taking - people such as Amazon.com's Jeff Bezos, Google's Sergey Brin and Larry Page, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, eBay's Pierre Omidyar, and entertainer Oprah Winfrey. These people's efforts enrich not only themselves but also you, me, and hundreds of millions of other people. I'm aware that Piketty dismisses such claims as being crude apologetics, but I challenge you – and him – to explain how, say, Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy amassed a large fortune if the countless people who voluntarily dine at his restaurants do not benefit from doing so.


The '67 Olds Cutlass Series was the most popular nameplate for a U.S. built car. They used top quality suppliers and craftsmanship and were known as "unbreakable".
This superb example was family owned and received the best of care from its previous owner. It has been well driven and cared for its entire life and now it is your turn to have the fun.


+ How can wheels so light have such high durability?
Of course they can, it is all about combining the best materials with the best manufacturing.
The use of certain solutions is possible only for expert craftsmen and in small-scale productions. For this reason most wheels don't actually need centring and the spokes, in their specific housing, are subject only to tensile forces and never to side loads that could break them or introduce lateral flexure.
+ Is it true that carbon wheels don't brake properly?
For traditional rims (not disc brakes) the braking on carbon wheels during rainy and long-descents has always been tricky.
With prolonged braking, high temperature can be reached, sometimes higher than 300°C. This heating process can compromise the rim, which will deform and delaminate, and it can affect the tubular tire, as the air pressure will increase linearly with the temperature. This is why the rim structure needs to be properly designed and the air pressure should not be greater than 10 atm.
This is also the reason why Tivan wheels has been designed with a basalt-enriched braking track: this material improves the braking performance and allows the braking process to be regulated. Moreover, it strongly reduces the operating temperature. Specific brake pads are supplied together with the wheels.
+ What is the best way to use the brakes on carbon wheels?
1. use specific brake pads.
2. do not drag the brakes for prolonged periods, not even slightly.
3. brake firmly and with pauses: it is much better to apply brakes confidently and for short intervals than keeping them in use continuously in a light manner.
4. let the braking surface cool between braking moments, with the methods just mentioned and by alternating, if possible, the action of the front and rear brake.
+ The brake pads squeak, what is the reason?
The use of specific brake pads efficiently gets rid of this problem on our wheels.
In general, assuming that the braking surface and pads are perfectly clean from dirt, lubricants and cleansers, it is good practice to install them slightly 'toed-in', which means the front edge of the pads should touch the braking track slightly earlier than its rear edge. A good mechanic will be able to suggest you the right position.
This can happen to wheels as side effect of extremely low weight and performance at the limits, but it can be easily fixed.
It usually happens on aluminium and even more on carbon wheels, especially if valve extensions have been used. The aluminium rim is built from long tubes of extruded aluminium and this is why at the origin, on such a large-scale processing, it is difficult to make a perfect balancing. It is even more difficult when working with carbon fibre, where the presence of epoxy can introduce irregularities up to 2-3%.
A possible solution can be reached by adding an extra weight (as with a bolt) along one spoke, until reaching a perfect balance and obtaining a wheel with a neutral behaviour. That is the position where to add a little bit of weight (for example by silicone injection), in the corresponding spoke hole under the rim flap.
Alternatively, a number of specific stickers that balance the valve weight are available for sale.
As it is difficult to know the kind of tyre, valve and valve extension that will be used with the rim (and the corresponding unbalancing weight), we usually don't supply these tools together with the rim, but they can obviously be requested at the moment of the wheel purchase.
+ Can the Spada hubs be maintained without tools?
Yes, the hubs have been designed to be simple and easy to disassemble and handle. There are just a few simple steps that will make the hub perform at its maximum levels for years.
Please find in the menu on the right the manual for hub maintenance.
+ Why are the wheels not adjustable?
We use high-precision bearings very widely spaced (Campagnolo 4 cm - Spada 9 cm).
This involves that any play is not felt on the wheel as it is not amplified.
Adjusting this kind of bearings would involve making the balls working tighter against the edges of the races and so reduce their smoothness.
If after years of usage, a wheel starts to show some sort of play, it means that it needs new bearings, which in our wheels are very cheap and easy to change. The change of the bearings is much cheaper than the substitution of the balls as it was in the traditional hubs. Moreover, the old outer race is not kept for usage and instead both races are changed with new ones, so maintaining the performance of the bearings.
+ There is a creaking sound when I pedal: how can I stop it?
The aluminium used for the different parts of the bike can oxidise and the contact among different metals can be at the source of noise. Even if this does not point to malfunctioning, it can be annoying.
Our hubs are very easy to disassemble and to check: have a look at our manuals and at the video that can be found on this page.
+ Is changing the spokes a complicated procedure?
It is much faster than for many wheels with aluminium spokes or with products that need to be returned to the warehouse.
Our wheels have been designed to be simple to disassemble and handle.
It probably needs a longer running-in period and after a few km it will release. It must be noted however that this dragging takes place without pedalling and it does not affect at all the wheel performance.
+ How can I evaluate the bearing conditions?
Lift the wheel and hold it by the extremes of the axle (front or rear). Pay attention, if you are working with the rear wheel, not to hold the free-wheel itself, as in that case you would feel the behaviour of the bearings of the free-wheel and not that of the main ones.
Spin the wheel: if you cannot feel any kind of roughness and vibrations, this means that the bearings are perfectly fine. If the roughness is minimal, it could be due to a decay of the grease or oil (oil makes wheel spinning much smoother). If this is the case, just wash and lubricate again as indicated in the 'Assistance' section. It is always better to use a little amount of oil before the grease. If you can feel a lot of roughness and also vibrations, it is probably the case of changing the bearings as they have already too much play.
+ Can I reduce the play by tightening harder the quick release?
No, the mechanism is not affected by the pressure applied by the quick releases, as much as the play between axle and bearings.
When these parts are pressed together, they become one whole body and the plays are due to bearings that are damaged or worn or not stable in their housing.


In appraising the value of a revenue-generating asset, it is often good appraisal practice to use the income approach when the data are available. However, there are different techniques of income capitalization that can be considered, including but not limited to the use of a gross income multiplier (GIM), a direct capitalization analysis, or a discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis. There are a number of regular users and uses of appraisals that require a property or other asset to be analyzed with one or more income techniques assuming the perspective of a certain level of income. Common examples are of appraisals of real property (usually requiring after-property-tax but before-income-tax analyses), appraisal of real property for ad valorem property tax assessment or appeal purposes (usually requiring before-property-tax net operating income [NOI] appraisals), and power plant and other special-purpose industrial property appraisals and many business appraisals (often requiring after-income-tax appraisals). This paper discusses the importance of ensuring the income multiplier, capitalization rate, or discount rate being used matches the cash flow or NOI it is being applied to. It provides the mathematical framework to allow appraisers to properly transition from one type of analysis to another — cash flow or NOI before or after real estate taxes and/or before or after income taxes.

The speaker here is God. And he declares that he is angry.
We prefer to speak about God's love and mercy (kindness). But people who refuse God's mercy will not escape his anger.
The Bible often speaks about God's anger. And it is not just the Old Testament (the books that existed before Jesus' birth). The New Testament (the books that the first Christians wrote) also speaks about God's anger. See John 3:36; Romans 1:18 and Ephesians 5:6.
God became so angry with the people in this passage because they refused to obey him. Although he had been very kind to them, they would not trust him. They continued to have this attitude for their whole lives. And so God's anger against them lasted until they were all dead. These were the people whom God had rescued from their lives as slaves in Egypt. But God would not allow any of them to enter the new country that he gave to their children.
God uses a word-picture to describe their wrong attitudes. Before people had cars, they travelled on animals like donkeys. A donkey is like a small horse.
A good donkey soon learns the regular journeys that its master takes. It knows where to go. Its master hardly needs to direct it.
But donkeys are well-known for their bad behaviour. Sometimes a donkey stops in the middle of the road. Sometimes it wanders off the road. And it seems to do these things for no reason. Its master may urge it. He may beat it. But it still refuses to obey. It is not just the donkey's behaviour that is wrong. It is its attitude. It does not want to obey. It acts as if it does not belong to its master.
People behave like that when the desires of their hearts are wrong. They act as if God is not their master. They refuse to obey him. And they even refuse when there is no reason for such behaviour. They are like donkeys that constantly leave the proper road. They are always doing what is wrong.
And such attitudes cause God to become angry with them.

How Much Does A Full Grown Lion Weigh
The lion (Panthera leo), also known as African lion, is a very big carnivorous feline that roams sub-Saharan Africa's many savannas, plains, woodlands, semideserts, forests, dense brush, scrublands and grasslands. A smaller population of lions lives in forests of western India. When it comes to habitat, these big cats are very diverse. Although lions are indeed massive, tigers (Panthera tigris) are larger.

What Is the Difference Between a Lion and a Tiger?
What Happens When You Cross a Lion and a Tiger?
This ultimate cat fight has happened more times than you might expect. The Romans pitted African lions against Asian tigers in the Coliseum, to the rip-roaring pleasure of the Plebeians. A few fights were also staged in the early decades of the 20th century, and on several modern occasions, accidental cross-species encounters at zoos have quickly developed into gruesome scenes guaranteed to scar any nearby
Lions typically inhabit savanna and grassland, although they may take to bush and forest. Lions are unusually social compared to other cats. The male lion is highly distinctive and is easily recognized by its mane. The lion, particularly the face of the male, is one of the most widely recognized animal symbols in human culture. It has been extensively depicted in literature, in sculptures, in paintings, on national flags, and in films.
Lion: After a gestation period of 100-110 days, the pregnant female leaves the pride and finds a place to deliver. Depending on the physical characteristics of their habitat, lions will hide their newborn cubs in marshes or kopjes. The number of cubs born depends on the age and dietary condition of the mother. The litter size is 1 to 6 offspring. Cubs are nursed 6-7 months. Cubs reach sexual maturity at 24 to 28 months in captivity and at 36 to 46 months in the wild. If a pride is taken over by a new male who has defeated the top resident male, he will most likely kill any existing cubs that are under 2 years old.
Male lions are much larger than females. The length of a female is typically between 4.6 and 5.7 feet, while the length of a male is between 5.6 and 8.3 feet. Their tail length is 27 to 41 inches. Female lions weigh 270 to 400 pounds, while males weigh 330 to 570 pounds.
When we fully estimate the heaviness of young lions and want to know the lion's weight in kg, we find that an adult lion weighs between 180 kilograms to 200 kilograms. The lion is the second-largest animal after the tiger among the big cats family and has many titles, such as king of the jungle and king of beasts.
Experts discovered that South African Lion weighs between 170 to 210 kg on average. The heaviest lion ever recorded weighed 380 kilograms. Mostly, their body length remains between 8 to 9 feet and reaches a maximum of 10.8 feet in size. Captive lions are usually larger and heavier than wild lions.
Therefore, the heaviest lion lived in a local zoo in England, which weighed 380 kg and was known as Simba, discovered in 1970. The heaviest lion ever discovered in the jungle was caught in South Africa in 1936 and allegedly weighed 690 pounds (314 kg). The longest lion was discovered in 1973 in southern Angola. It was known as the most extended lion globally, with a 3.6 meter (12 ft) total body length.
If we talk about the weight of an adult male lion in pounds, a male lion weighs about 420 pounds. At the same time, a female has a weight of 280 pounds on average.
Males are typically 5.6 to 8.3 feet tall, while females are typically 4.6 to 5.7 feet tall. Their tails are between 27 and 41 inches long. Males range between 330 and 570 pounds, while females weigh between 270 and 400 pounds.
When a lion's baby is born, it weighs 1 kg to 2 kg ( 2 to 4 pounds) approximately at birth. The mother's health plays a significant role in the weight of the baby.
Males are significantly larger than females. A female's length is between 4.6 to 5.7 feet, whereas a male's length remains between 5.6 to 8.3 feet. Their tails are 27 to 41 inches long. Males have a bodyweight between 150 to 260 kg, while females have a 130 to 182 kg heaviness.
Size. African lions are larger than their Asiatic counterparts. A male African lion weighs between 330pound and 500 pounds, with females averaging about 345 pounds. … Male Asiatic lions weigh between 350 and 450 pounds, with females weighing between 240 and 360 pounds.
According to a conservation charity called Save China's Tigers, "Recent research indicates that the tiger is indeed stronger than the lion in terms of physical strength… A tiger is generally physically larger than a lion. Most experts would favor a Siberian and Bengal tiger over an African lion."
Lions do have one advantage – they live and hunt in groups. Though smaller, lions have been known to "gang up" on a kill a lone tiger.
Both lions and tigers have the ability to kill humans. It is estimated that lions kill about 250 people per year. Over the past 200 years, tigers have averaged around 1,800 deadly attacks on humans per year. This makes tigers the deadlier of the two.
Lions and tigers belong to the same genus but are different species. Tigers are larger than lions and have distinctive stripes. Male lions have long manes. Lions also live in groups, a unique behavior among cats.
These animals are closely related enough to produce offspring. A male lion and female tiger produce a liger, the largest of all cats. Because they lack a growth inhibitor gene, ligers can weigh over 1,200 pounds – twice that of a tiger! This animal has sandy fur with brown stripes.
A cross between a male tiger and a female lion is called a tigon. These animals resemble golden tigers and do not exceed their parents in size.

Go to any Barnes & Noble store, or spend a few minutes browsing on Amazon, and you'll quickly find dozens of books purporting to help you become a better writer. Several of us in U of R's University Communications group are working writers and editors, so our skepticism about writing advice tends to run high.
If you want to be a better writer, our advice is to start writing, and keep writing, and share your writing with others to see if it's doing what you want it to do. Equally important, become an avid reader, seeking out good writing wherever you can find it. Nothing will enrich your vocabulary, hone your imagery and get you thinking about structure and narrative more effectively.
Having said that, a few books do stand out as worthwhile reads for the would-be writer.
This book is one of our favorites. Lamott, who has written several novels, as well as mostly autobiographical nonfiction, is humorous, honest, and thought provoking. "Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts. You need to start somewhere," writes Lamott, and her enjoyable little tome covers everything from bad first drafts to plot, dialogue, and the perils of perfectionism.
When it comes to beautiful prose, stunningly accurate and nuanced descriptions, and perfect pacing, Annie Dillard is hard to beat. We'd recommend reading anything by this consummate American author, whose most well-known novel is Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. Dillard's grasp of the language and her ability to shape and craft it in her poems, novels, and nonfiction never ceases to amaze. The downside to reading Dillard is the possible realization that you will never be as good a writer. In The Writing Life Dillard shares some of her wisdom on what it takes to be a writer.
A lifelong journalist, William Zinsser, who died in 2015, worked as a feature writer, drama editor, film critic, and editorial writer. A beloved and classic guide to writing nonfiction, On Writing Well is a warm, engaging book filled with good advice about the lead, the ending, the audience, the interview, the memoir, the travel article, and many other elements of writing.
From one of the bestselling authors of all time, this memoir/masterclass gives wannabe scribes some of the fundamental tools of the craft mixed in with memories and reflections on his own life, including his near-fatal accident in 1999.
Reading, writing, and workshopping are key activities in the University of Redlands' creative writing program, recently featured in Creative Colleges: Finding the Best Programs for Aspiring Actors, Artists, Designers, Dancers, Musicians, Writers, and More by Elaina Loveland, which provides a resource for college-bound students pursuing the creative arts. (In addition to the "Colleges for Writers" section, the University is listed under "Colleges for Actors" for its theatre, "Colleges for Artists & Designers" for its visual arts, and "Colleges for Musicians" for its School of Music.

Nasal Administration of Rifampicin and Resveratrol Could Stop Dementia, Finds Study
"Recent studies have shown that abnormalities begin to appear in the brains of dementia patients more than 20 years before the onset of the disease."
A new study by Osaka City University, Japan, has found that a combination of rifampicin and resveratrol, administered nasally, could stop dementia and improve cognitive functions, according to EurekAlert.
Initially, researchers conducted the study on the mouse model using the antibiotic rifampicin. They found that the drug removed oligomers from the brain and improved cognitive function. However, the antibiotic has been associated with side effects, including liver damage. The researchers then added resveratrol, an antioxidant found in plants.
Lead investigator of the study Prof. Takami Tomiyama said, "To combat the negative side effects of the existing drug rifampicin, we thought of combining it with the hepatoprotective effects of resveratrol."
The researchers administered a fixed dose of rifampicin and resveratrol intranasally for five days a week, for a total of four weeks to mice models of Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
The study, published online in the Swiss scientific journal Frontiers in Neuroscience, found that the combination significantly improved the cognitive function of the mice. It also found that the combination of rifampicin and resveratrol inhibited the accumulation of oligomers.
Oligomers are formed when the proteins amyloid-β, tau, and α-synuclein accumulate in the brain, which are commonly seen in patients with dementia.
The study's first author Tomohiro Umeda said, "The number of patients with dementia has been increasing all over the world, with some sources predicting a doubling of patients every 20 years. However, there is still no effective treatment for the disease."
"Recent studies have shown that abnormalities begin to appear in the brains of dementia patients more than 20 years before the onset of the disease," added Umeda.
The researchers hope to diagnose and prevent dementia before the nerves die by drug repositioning or repurposing – the process in which the existing drugs are tested for other indications.
In addition, the team believes that nasal administration of rifampicin and resveratrol would increase drug transferability to the brain. They use a dose of 0.02 mg of rifampicin per mouse per day, or 1 mg/kg/day considering a mouse weight of 20g.
Prof. Tomiyama said, "Converted to a human dosage based on body surface area, it becomes 0.081 mg/kg/day. Currently, rifampicin is prescribed at 10 mg/kg/day as an antibiotic and compared to this, we confirmed an effect at a much lower dosage."
Medilab RFP is carrying out the development of a fixed-dose combination of rifampicin and resveratrol nasal spray. After the study was published, it has begun preparations for human trials. Medilab RFP focuses on designing and developing innovative medicine for neurodegenerative disorders.

TIPS / SHORTCUT: In my opinion DatingFactory is a total sham. This company did a contract with me to give me a copy of all members data for our own solution when we moved our sites only to later refuse to honor the contract.
If you are asking me if DatingFactory.com a good place to build your own dating site I would not just say no I would say, 'HELL NO!". If you are a webmasters and you have operated a dating site on the datingfactory than you know just how simple and easy they make their platform to set up a site. However, is that site actually any good? THE SHORT ANSWER IS NO! The sites that the creator tools help you create look stale and the biggest problem is thousands of novice webmasters spam these sites across all sorts of social media platforms. They have ZERO PARTNER STANDARDS. When they say anyone, they really mean anyone. You do not even have to use a logo there. While that might sound great at first imagine how many millions of people are now ruined on the layouts and feel of the site because literally anyone can start a dating site there.
When you start your own dating site on a shared platform (where you don't control the user-experience or manage the database, there a number of important factors to heavily weigh before making a decision).
DatingFactory slogan is their claim that, 'they build your brand, not ours'. Truth be told they use your members to email offers to their favorite partners' sites and they do not even tell you they are doing so. You have to stumble onto that in their most recent terms of service. What is the point of creating your dating site with DatingFactory if they are using your registered users to email offers to competing dating sites? That is completely shady and defeats the primary goal of branding!
Following up on my points above, the next thing you must evaluate when you choose a private or white label solution for creating your own dating site is flexibility.
2. Flexibility: Our experience was that companies employees did not communicate effectively or return emails timely…and not just at first but rather it was a long-term epidemic. We worked with DatingFactory for about 1.5 years and saw employees come and go and things never take a turn for the better. In my discussions with top management, best talent in the organization seemed to have the same concerns we did as a partner. DatingFactory over time made numerous promises that time and time again they failed to keep. Instituting more standards for the sites and focusing on providing a better user experience was the BIGGEST reason we left, there was no motivation to improve the end-user experience but just to get more partners. That made for an environment where low quality partners flooded the web with spam and low quality sites using DatingFactory.
Trust: This company offers solutions in a large number of niche populated communities but in my opinion they have burnt the vast majority of professional webmasters by their failure to improve user experiences. Trust in DatingFactory as far as ever becoming a mainstream dating platform is, I.M.O. shot. DatingFactory was in my opinion focused on raw numbers of partners and mostly adult dating solutions in markets besides the U.S..
About the core functions of creating a dating site at DatingFactory.
1. Dating factory customizations / about how it works: DatingFactory enables you to create a dating site that looks and feels like their stock platform. Aspects they allow webmasters complete control over are logos, meta desc., meta tags, etc. However, the user experience at DatingFactory is just so generic that people see right through it for what it is….just a money-making opportunity site versus a dating site focused on members. As a result most leave the same day and do not return.
2. Promotional Tools: DatingFactory gives you widgets that you can use to get sign ups directly from your blog. This is a 100% unique promotional tool but it's impossible to customize these and they are rendered fairly useless over time.
3. Transparency: The dashboard shows you all details of all sales including chargebacks, new daily members by site, etc. THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR A BUSINESS TO KNOW! That being said transparency also showed us over the year that we worked with this company that the partners make VERY LITTLE. Really unless you want an adult dating site in Eastern Europe where advertising is dirt cheap the DatingFactory solution has passed its prime.
4. Navigation / Look and Feel: The sites themselves which you will be creating from their admin screen are easy to use but they look novice and because they are all the same your visitors can tell you are using a non-custom solution. In order words they have been this rodeo and left early. IT'S NOT IMPRESSIVE.
Conclusion. Dating Factory is not a place to build a successful dating site. You are frankly just wasting your time using this platform and burning your own domain/branding. Knowing what I now know I cannot in good faith suggest DatingFactory to anyone!
NOTE: We longer suggest ANY white label dating solutions as we believe these money-making type sites focus only on making a short-term buck and not the end-user. It would not be so bad if the sites actually paid the affiliates reasonably rather than looking for loopholes to screw partners. If we are talking just about making money in online dating, as noted before the real money is in cams these days and webmasters at this site should now while you get pennies for your traffic, this site re-markets the traffic for huge dollars to adult webcam sites.
