A_Horse_with_No_Name -
"A Horse with No Name" is a song by the folk rock band America, written by Dewey Bunnell. It was the band's first and most successful single, released in late 1971 in Europe and early 1972 in the United States, that topped the charts in Canada, Finland, and the United States. It was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.
America's self-titled debut album was released initially in Europe, without "A Horse with No Name", and achieved only moderate success. Originally called "Desert Song", "Horse" was written while the band was staying at the home of studio musician Arthur Brown, near Puddletown, Dorset, England. +more The first two demos were recorded there by Jeff Dexter and Dennis Elliott, which were intended to capture the sensation of the hot, dry desert that had been depicted in a Salvador Dalí painting, and in a picture by M. C. Escher which featured a horse. Writer Dewey Bunnell also says he remembered his childhood travels through the Arizona and New Mexico desert when his family lived at Vandenberg Air Force Base. Bunnell has explained that "A Horse with No Name" was "a metaphor for a vehicle to get away from life's confusion into a quiet, peaceful place".
Trying to find a song that would be popular in both the United States and Europe, Warner Brothers was reluctant to release Gerry Beckley's "I Need You" ballad as the first single from America. The label asked the band if it had any other material, then arranged for America to record four more songs at Morgan Studios, in Willesden, London. +more "A Horse with No Name" was released as the featured song on a three-track single in the UK, Ireland, France, Italy and the Netherlands in late 1971. On the release, "A Horse with No Name" shared the A-side with "Everyone I Meet Is from California"; "Sandman" featured on the B-side. However, its early-1972 two-track US release did not include "Sandman", with "Everyone I Meet Is from California" appearing on the B-side.
"A Horse with No Name" was recorded in E minor with acoustic guitars, bass guitar, drum kit, and bongo drums. The only other chord is a D, fretted on the low E and G strings, second fret. +more A 12-string guitar plays an added F♯ (second fret, high E string) on the back beat of the Em. A noted feature of the song is the driving bass line with a hammer-hook in each chorus. A "waterfall"-type solo completes the arrangement. Produced by Ian Samwell on the day of final recording at Morgan Studios, when at first the group thought it was too corny and took some convincing to actually play it. Gerry Beckley has explained in Acoustic Guitar magazine (March 2007) that the correct tuning for the guitar is D E D G B D, low to high. The chord pattern that repeats throughout the entire song is: 202002 (Em), then 020202 and 000202. The tuning is unique to this song; they did not use it on any other America song.

Despite the song being banned by some U. S. +more radio stations, in Kansas City and elsewhere, because of supposed drug references to heroin use ("horse" is a common slang term for heroin), the song ascended to number one on the U. S. Billboard Hot 100, and the album quickly reached platinum status. The song charted earlier in Ireland (reaching number 4), the Netherlands (reaching number 11) and the UK (reaching number 3, the band's only Top 40 hit in the country) than it did in the United States.
The song's resemblance to some of Neil Young's work aroused some controversy. For example, in their review of "A Horse with No Name" Cash Box described America as "CSN&Y soundalikes. +more" "I know that virtually everyone, on first hearing, assumed it was Neil", Bunnell said. "I never fully shied away from the fact that I was inspired by him. I think it's in the structure of the song as much as in the tone of his voice. It did hurt a little, because we got some pretty bad backlash. I've always attributed it more to people protecting their own heroes more than attacking me. " By coincidence, it was "A Horse with No Name" that replaced Young's "Heart of Gold" at the number 1 spot on the U. S. pop chart.
The single achieved sales of over 50,000 copies in Australia, being eligible for the award of a gold disc.
The song has received criticism for its lyrics, including "The heat was hot"; "There were plants, and birds, and rocks, and things"; and "'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain." According to an anecdote from Robert Christgau, Randy Newman dismissed "A Horse With No Name" as a "song about a kid who he's taken acid".
Penn Jillette asked the band about their lyrics, "there were plants, and birds, and rocks, and things" after a show in Atlantic City, where America opened for Penn & Teller. According to Jillette, their explanation for the lyrics was that they were intoxicated with cannabis while writing it. +more In a 2012 interview, Beckley disputed Jillette's story, saying, "I don't think Dew was stoned. ".

In the season 4 episode of BoJack Horseman "The Old Sugarman Place", the title character drives through the desert to Patrick Carney and Michelle Branch's interpretation of the song. This version also appears on the soundtrack album of the series.
For the Breaking Bad episode, Caballo sin Nombre, as the episode begins with Walter White driving through the New Mexico desert while listening to the song.
The song appears on both the fictional in-game radio station "K-DST" and on the official CD soundtrack boxset for Rockstar Games' 2004 open-world video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Musical references
Michael Jackson's song "A Place with No Name" was released posthumously by TMZ as a 25-second snippet on July 16, 2009. The snippet closely resembles "A Horse with No Name". +more Jim Morey, both Jackson's and America's former band manager, has stated that "America was honored that Michael chose to do their song and they hope it becomes available for all Michael's fans to hear. " The song was remastered and released in its entirety along with the original Michael Jackson recording on Jackson's 2014 album, Xscape.
The song was sampled by Milo in his song "Geometry and Theology" from his album Cavalcade, in which every song samples a song by America.
The song is name-checked in the 1991 Tin Machine song 'Stateside' on the Tin Machine II album.

Researchers say they have used human embryonic stem cells to create cells that develop into eggs and sperm.
While this had already been done using rodent stem cells, this is the first time that these types of cells — called primordial germ cells — have been produced efficiently using human stem cells, according to the team at the University of Cambridge in England.
"The creation of primordial germ cells is one of the earliest events during early mammalian development," study first author Naoko Irie said in a university news release.

Q: Does typecasting have no effect in statement 1 in the below Code? #include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int arr[3] = {2, 3, 4};
    char *p;
    p = arr;
    p = (char*)((int*)(p));
    printf("%d, ", *p);
    p = (int*)(p+1); //............statement 1
    printf("%d", *p);
    return 0;
}

In the above code, p = (int*)(p+1); means character pointer is type cast to integer pointer. So when we dereference p, It fetches the contents up to next int size (2 bytes or 4 bytes, depending on compiler). But when I am solving this question at www.indiabix.com, they have given

answer: 2, 0

How it can be 2, 0? As per my analysis,the answer should be 2, 3. Can anyone explain what should be the correct answer and why?

A: Let's say an int takes four bytes.
In a little endian system, the memory layout of arr looks like:
|   | <--- one byte
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+

In a big endian system, the memory layout of arr looks like:
|   | <--- one byte
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+

In a little endian system,
*p = 2;
*(p+1) = 0;

In a big endian system,
*p = 0;
*(p+1) = 0;

Depending on your platform, the output will be:
2 0

or
0 0

The code you have is perhaps meant to confuse. The line
p = (char*)((int*)(p));

doesn't do a damn thing.
The line
p = (int*)(p+1);

has the same effect as:
p = p+1;

Christopher Kelaher rejects claims Questor breached a duty to act in the best interests of members.
Financial services giant IOOF believes the way it compensated 9000 superannuation members passes "the pub test" amid concerns over its governance and conflicts of interest.
The banking royal commission has heard IOOF does not agree it needs to address governance issues but will move to change its structure "as it's just easier" after the prudential regulator repeatedly raised concerns.
Managing director Christopher Kelaher on Friday defended the publicly-listed company's remediation of retirement fund members in order to fix a payment problem involving former subsidiary Questor.
He denied IOOF "used members' money to purportedly compensate them", rather than the company paying.
The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) questioned whether Questor acted appropriately and raised concerns it had not effectively managed conflicts of interest in allowing the remediation plan, a 2016 document before the commission showed.
In a letter to APRA last year, Mr Kelaher said Questor at no time received any demands for compensation or complaint about its remediation and compensation plans from any member of the affected super fund.
"In terms of the so-called 'pub-test', which in these circumstances is a proxy for members' best interests, it is the board's view that the test has been passed," he wrote.
Asked to explain the pub test to the commission on Friday, Mr Kelaher said institutions like IOOF were constantly confronted with community expectations.
"At all times here, at the end of the day, the aspiration was to return the member to his whole position and compensate him for the period outstanding and that's something we did and that's something people would resonate with.
"That's something they would want and that's what they would expect."
Mr Kelaher rejected suggestions Questor breached its duty to act in the best interests of members.
He also denied remediation occurred because of APRA's intervention.
The inquiry heard APRA has raised concerns about IOOF's investment management arm also being a superannuation trustee, including that some decisions appeared to have favoured the interests of shareholders over those of superannuation fund members.
IOOF's board last week agreed to change the structure of trustee IOOF Investment Management Ltd and investigate separating the registrable superannuation entity and manager of the investment fund to address APRA's concerns.
The minutes of the board meeting, which the royal commission demanded be produced, consisted of hand-written notes.


If your dog becomes involved in an auto accident, you should know several things in order to safe its life. First, move him carefully, if he is severely injured. Use the emergency muzzle, and if any bones appear broken, don't bend unnecessarily, but keep them as straight as possible. Move the dog on a hard, flat surface like a board rather than on a saggy blanket, and keep his head slightly above the rest of his body for better breathing. Bad cuts can be bandaged temporarily with a cloth or handkerchief to check bleeding. Tie the bandages loosely so as not to impair circulation. The head or any other part of the body can be bandaged, if necessary.
Profuse bleeding from a cut means that an artery has been severed, in which case you'll have to apply a tourniquet to stop it. The tourniquet can be a piece of rope or cloth. It must be placed between the cut and the heart and twisted tight enough to stop the bleeding. Loosen it every 15 minutes so that the circulation can resume, thus avoiding gangrene, then re-tighten it. Use a gauze-and-cotton bandage to stop a wound from bleeding. If the skin is torn badly enough to expose the underlying muscle or flesh, bleeding won't be too bad, but a veterinarian will have to stitch it closed. Let him apply the final bandage. After that, it will be up to you to keep the dog quiet and prevent him from tearing off the bandage. The dog will probably suffer from shock and should be kept warm. Get him to a veterinarian as soon as possible.
To treat a puncture wound, nail, dog bite, or gunshot, clip away the hair and cleanse the area. Make sure the object that caused the wound is removed, along with any hair that may become embedded under the skin. Hydrogen peroxide is good for cleaning out this type of wound. Since healing must take place from inside out, it is imperative that the puncture be kept open so it can drain properly, otherwise fluids will build up in the wound and most likely cause blood poisoning. To prevent this, the scab should be removed every day and the fluid worked gently out of the wound. This is particularly important if the puncture has entered the flesh beneath the skin to any extent. Puncture wounds can amount to nothing or can become very complex if not properly cared for. A tetanus shot to prevent lockjaw is called for in some areas, and antibiotics may also be necessary.

4 Budget Friendly Renovation Alternatives
You don't have to break the bank for an update to your home design.
You're probably not an expert when it comes to remodeling and for that reason you're probably not familiar with the cheaper alternatives you can use to create your dream home within your practical budget. That's why we're here to help: here are four ways you can cut costs when renovating your home to keep the price tag within reach.
When it Comes to Trash, Don't Toss – Donate!
You're probably wondering how donating your garbage can save you money – it sounds too good to be true. But did you know that trashing certain items – like bathroom fixtures, for example – can cost you anywhere between 50 and 100 bucks? In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't sound like much, but every bit counts when you're doing a project of this scale. Not only does Habitat for Humanity have a project called ReStores that will come take your garbage for free, you'll get a tax write-off out of the deal, too. You can even visit one of their locations to get recycled fixtures for a discount price if you want to save money that way, too.
Use Space Efficiently, Don't Search for More
Does it feel like the walls are closing in? You'll be tempted to knock down that wall between the living room and dining room when you're looking to maximize your square footage, but you could use the space in your home more efficiently at a much lower cost. Try to pare down your furniture, having only what is essential. For example, trade those two bookshelves for one that's slimmer and wall-to-ceiling. Use minimalist furniture, like chairs, that don't have armrests and aren't visually "heavy" to open up the room. You could even consider replacing your staircase with a space-saving spiral; the prices on spiral staircase kits are extremely reasonable and it's amazing what this compact option can do to open up a room.
Need More Light? Wall-Mounted Trumps Recessed
After watching one too many episodes of Restaurant Makeover you might be convinced that recessed light fixtures are what you need for mood lighting. However, to achieve that look, you're going to need a lot of lights, and after installation, that's about $150 a pop. Interior design experts suggest that wall-mounted fixtures help you achieve the same effect at a fraction of the cost. Plus, you'll need fewer since wall-mounted lighting allows for more wattage and brighter lights.
Find your Contractor's Down-Time
Believe it or not, contractors do charge more during their busy seasons. Find a contractor that suits your needs, if you're not taking the full-DIY route, and ask them when your business would be best for them. This might not be the ideal route, but you'll certainly thank yourself after you save a significant percentage at the end of the day.
Everyone will want to update their home's design eventually. Most homeowners will immediately think of a full renovation or addition. However, you don't have to break the bank to create a new home design! By considering these four alternatives, you can save money while still adding value to your home. Creating space and perfect timing are small tips that can go a long way.

Canadian amputee soldier returns to Afghanistan
From Canwest News Service:
QUEBEC, Canada — Shortly after losing one of his legs while on duty in Afghanistan, Capt. Simon Mailloux (pictured) asked his major how good his chances were of getting back to the battlefront.
Nearly two years later, Mailloux is sporting a high-tech prosthetic leg and preparing to return to the war-torn country in November.
"Although there were some rough patches, my determination to go back never faltered," he said in an interview Wednesday. "I want to finish the work we started."
The Quebec City native lost half of his left leg when the armoured vehicle he was commanding struck an improvised explosive device on Nov. 17, 2007. Two other soldiers — Cpl. Nicolas Beauchamp and Pte. Michel Levesque — were killed in the blast. Mailloux had to undergo four surgeries but recovered surprisingly fast.
The 25-year-old is said to be the first soldier to return to Afghanistan after a major amputation.
Mailloux credits the good rehabilitation techniques and advanced prosthetic leg technology for being able to return to the war zone. He also hinted at a shift of policy on the part of the Canadian Forces.
"It was a decision from the higher command to say we're taking an injured soldier and we'll work with him," Mailloux said.
The soldier said he didn't get preferential treatment and had to prove he could handle the rigours of redeploying to Afghanistan.
"I'm not as fast as I used to be, but I passed all the physical tests," he said, noting that with his prosthetic leg he walked 13 kilometres with a 60 pound load on his back in two hours and 22 minutes.
He started training with the military in July at the Valcartier garrison, near Quebec City. He spent the year before that getting back in shape while working as an aide-de-camp for Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean at Rideau Hall.
"I had to get back in shape as a civilian first and then as a soldier," he said.
Mailloux might be the first amputee to return to Afghanistan, but he is convinced he won't be the last.
"It's a personal decision every soldier has to make, but I know some soldiers are not far behind me," he said.
Injured soldiers like Master Cpl. Jody Mitic — who lost both legs below the knee after stepping on a landmine in Afghanistan in 2007 — are training to return to combat duty. Mitic is training to get back in shape and ran an Ottawa half-marathon last weekend running on two artificial legs.
When Mailloux lands in Afghanistan he won't be going back to his old job. He is going to work at staff headquarters laying out field plans for long-term campaigns.
"It's going to be a big challenge but I have field experience and I know the villages in the Kandahar province. That is going to help me," he said.
By going back to Afghanistan, Mailloux wants to encourage other amputees to persevere to achieve their goals.
"I'm not better than anyone else, but if I can help some people to get up and do something, well great," said the soldier who has been dubbed "Captain Courage" by some Quebec media.
"The guys are making fun of me with that, but I have to say it's flattering," he said.

The St. Thomas women's basketball team had the lead for all four quarters against the University of King's College Blue Devils, in route to their fourth win of the season. The game was also their fourth win against the Blue Devils, as they beat them twice in preseason, and twice during the regular season as the Tommies won 87-58.
"It's hard to beat a good team four times," said women's basketball coach Fred Connors.
The Tommies held King's College to 30 per cent shooting, while STU was able to convert on just under half their shots.
"I saw some real growth on the defensive end," said Connors, though he still thinks they need to sharpen up on defense.
Kelly Vass, who leads the ACAA in scoring, kept it up by notching 20 points in the win, while picking up eight rebounds. But it was rookie Sara Banks who impressed people because she had her best game as a Tommie, scoring 19 points.
Banks was efficient and scored seven of her 10 shot attempts.
Tommies assistant coach Peter Douthwright talks things over with rookie Jayme Hunt.
"I had a good shooting game today, but I also think I saw the floor better and attacked the rim better than in previous games," said Banks.
Everyone in a Tommie uniform scored on Sunday, and nobody played under 15 minutes. It's this kind of depth that Connors feels makes his team a threat.


NACS undertakes few projects more complex and demanding than creating the telecommunications infrastructure in each new building. NACS has recently hired Stacey Rose as Assistant Project Manager under Communications Projects manager Diane Dunn.
Stacey found her way into the IT industry when she returned to school after a few years working as sales manager for the Desert Sun in Palm Springs. She has worked in large corporations as technician, desktop support manager, and in project management. Her position in NACS shifts her attention from computers and their software to the links that connect them.
Stacey's approach to Project Management is understanding the "Big Picture" of each project, and also trying to be flexible. Project management here at UCI is different from project management with an outside company. The PMI methodology which provides a rigid structure that works in industry needs to be adjusted in this dynamic environment, with a heavy project load and limited resources. Stacey says she is happy to be a part of NACS, and enjoying the people she's working with.
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) is a technology which is finding ever broader use in the UCI research community. NACS Research Computing Specialist Tony Soeller has been supporting GIS software, teaching workshops, and working directly with faculty and graduate students on research projects to exploit GIS tools. Here are some recent examples.
Professor Bradford Hawkins in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology is tracking global species diversity in birds. GIS was used on a massive spatial data synthesis project on global bird ranges to georegister, digitize and rasterize bird range maps, then to summarize the number of bird species within discrete cells 27.5 to 220 km on a side. Numerous ArcGIS programs (ArcObjects and VBA) were written to help in the processing of the data.
Cristiane Surbeck completed her Ph.D. studies in Professor Stan Grant's lab in Chemical Engineering and Materials Sciences and is now an Assistant Professor at University of Mississippi. Cris has been analyzing the Santa Ana River Watershed. Her research looked at the biological and sediment constituents of runoff into the Santa Ana River from three storm events within the watershed, and compared these data to rainfall volume and land use types which contributed to the runoff. GIS was used to synthesize land use data with rainfall data from the storm events, to delineate individual storm watersheds, and to determine the area of land within each land use type and the amount of precipitation within each of those land use types.
Satish Vutuku, a student in Professor Donald Dabdub's lab in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering is examining the impact on air quality of distributed power generation.
In one project, Satish assessed atmospheric impact of emissions from distributed power generation (DG) sources. DG refers to "on-site" generation of power using technologies such as fuel cells and micro turbines. Such DG installations emit pollutants in an urban area in a highly dispersed manner, in contrast to conventional huge power plants that emit pollutants as a concentrated plume far away from urban areas. In order to analyze effects of such DG emissions, Satish created a set of "DG scenarios" that would predict the adoption of DG technologies and corresponding emissions. The development of DG scenarios was based upon highly-detailed land-use data and population data. The land-use data were obtained as GIS files and were formatted to fit the model grid and resolution with help from Tony Soeller.
This is just a sampling of the many projects at UCI which are making use of GIS software and Tony's expertise. Please contact NACS if you would be interested in exploring the relevance of GIS to your research project.
You may not realize it, but NACS employs telephone operators as a part of the campus telephone service.
Two operators are on duty Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm. The operators handle calls from campus telephones dialing "0" and calls to the University from all over the country and the world. The operators are the first contact the public has when calling the general telephone number listed for University of California Irvine (949-824-5011).
Not only do these professionals have to know a great deal about the units, services, structure, calendar, and activities of the University, they are called upon to handle an impressive number of requests.
In the course of a typical year, the operators handle almost 100,000 calls, with a peak day being almost 600 callers. Their goal is to help every caller quickly, and almost 80% of all calls are answered within ten seconds.
Should you ever need to reach someone by telephone while off campus, our friendly Campus Operators are ready to help you.
In their presentation, "Visual Documentation and the Installation of Communications Infrastructure", Bruce and Todd demonstrated the use of "visual documentation" (also known as "visual scope of work") to portray telecommunications infrastructure before and after installation projects on the UCI campus.
Google Earth (TM) satellite photography of UCI building sites and digital photographs of construction details as well as text and other graphics were imported into Power Point presentations. The resulting "visual documentation" helps to reduce ambiguity and clarify the reasons for infrastructure work, solutions to problems, conduit location and excavation, cable pulling/splicing/termination, and the transferring of services.
Bruce Cotsonas coordinates NACS cabling projects with clients, vendors and staff. He is a member of ACUTA, BICSI, CSI and DBIA, and he has over twenty-one years of experience in project management.
Todd Strand designs, plans, and provides cost estimates during communications infrastructure projects. He holds the Registered Communications Distribution Designer, Network Transport Systems Specialist, and Outside Plant Specialist certifications from BICSI.
Bruce and Todd work for Diane Dunn, Manager of NACS's Communications Planning Group, which plans and manages all campus-wide network and telecommunications infrastructure projects.
NACS would like to welcome Harry Mangalam to our Research Computing group, and announce that Isaac Straley has accepted the position of Interim Manager for our IT Security group.
Harry Mangalam earned his Ph.D. in Physiology/Pharmacology from UCSD, and has held positions at the Salk Institute, the National Center for Genome Resources in Santa Fe, and at Acero, a Bay Area commercial bioinformatics company, as well as IT support positions within UCI's College of Medicine and Earth Systems Sciences. Harry has been under the thrall of computers since the days when floppy disks really were big and floppy.
Harry's position is a joint appointment, with half his time supporting Dr. Falko Kuester's HIperwall project and the other half with NACS Research Computing, assisting faculty with their computational science needs.
Isaac Straley's previous position was within the IT Security group he now leads. Prior to joining NACS, he owned his own consulting business, providing services to financial institutions famous for their attention to network and data security issues. His background includes both technical and management experience. He is also a life-long computer fanatic.
As Interim Manager of IT Security, he will be working with NACS and the campus to ensure a continued safe and reliable computing environment.


iMoot2013 is a "Virtual Conference" running online 24 hours a day from Thursday 23 May to Monday 27 May 2013.
We recognised a couple of years ago that globally there are numerous "Moots" held around the world. Each Moot has been attracting experts within their region as well as practitioners to a single location where they could share their knowledge and connect. While it is fantastic, it is limited to just that region and typically just those who could make it to attend.
An iMoot aims to bring all these people together into ONE PLACE to truly unite the global Moodle Community, to allow both Experts and Practitioners to connect together at a single time to share ideas, thoughts and pedagogy across languages, timezones and borders.
The theme for this year's presentations is "OPEN". So much can come from one word and we see this one in particular having very strong ties with Moodle. What do we mean by this? Think of open education, open communities, open courseware, open licensing, open source and more. The list goes on. At it's core however we see "OPEN" is about collaboration, sharing and removing barriers. Each of these are at the core of what Moodle is all about.
Are running a MOOC or delivering an open education program to your students. Why do you do this? How successful has it been?
You could deliver a case study on why you moved from closed LMS platforms to the open Moodle platform and the benefits and negatives to the move.
Are you using complementary open source technologies alongside Moodle that you and your students are finding useful?
Are you part of the every growing Moodle community on Moodle.org or elsewhere. What have been your experiences?
Is your organisation embracing Creative Commons or other styles of OER content. What are they? How effective have they been? What are the challenges?
Moodle is fully GPL licensed. Have you written a plugin that you think others would like to use? Are their plugins that you use that think need highlighting?
If you think you have a presentation that would suit the theme, please be sure to submit it to our database. All presenters at iMoot receive free access to the entire event.
iMoot2013 aims to bring together academics and professionals globally whose shared interest is of course Moodle as well as Open Source Education initiatives.
iMoot2013 is expected to attract 1000+ international delegates. Specifically, we will bring together leading figures from around the world in a series of keynote addresses, panel sessions and workshops including "how to's and case-studies" for novices through to experts.
This year we want to make sure more people know about iMoot2013 than ever. Make sure you join our groups on the below listed popular Social Networking sites and share the links with your friends and help us bring the community together for the biggest iMoot ever!
Check out what is happened in the Twitter stream last year. Maybe join in the discussion.
The conference has been broken up into three streams that will run alongside each other. Participants are encouraged to jump between streams to attend the presentations that interest them the most. Click the icons below to find out about each stream.
A schedule of confirmed presenters will be available late March 2013.
PLEASE NOTE: The default timezone is Australia/Perth (because that's the home of Moodle!). If you are logged into the site then it will adjust for the timezone set in your profile.
The "Case Study" stream aims to provide sessions that give a snapshot of the experiences of schools and institutions which have ventured into Moodle and Open Source education in which they can share the issues they faced and what they feel are the benefits and challenges.
Sessions are encouraged to be without bias and to reflect true expereinces of Educators and Administrators.
The "Academic Papers" stream is for the theory and pedagogy side of the conference. We are welcoming both academic and practitioner papers on a wide range of education and elearning focused topics using a range of scholarly approaches including theoretical and empirical papers employing qualitative, quantitative and critical methods.
Papers may also be based on current projects which are either at the proposal stage or are work in progress as long as they meet the conference themes.
This year's iMoot will be held from Thursday 23rd May to Monday 27th May 2013 (Perth Time).
The standard conference registration fee is $80 AUD.
2. Use the link below to enrol on the registration course, pay using the Paypal button.
Access to presentation materials for 3 months after the conference, including the session recordings.

If you don't know about Bill's Imported Foods, but if you live in the Twin Cities, cook and like food, you should. It's on the corner of Aldridge and Lake. It's been there since the 1980s and at the time reminded me of the old ethnic groceries in my neighborhood in Toronto in the 1970s. In the early 1980s the Tirokomos family started the business with a truck and a garage, trekking weekly to Chicago to stock up on nice Greek food and then supplying local Delis and Restaurants across the State. By the time I found them they had a small shop named Bill's. Kiki ran the shop and Bill, a tall, lanky well-dressed linen clad fellow looking much like an extra in any eastern Mediterranean film I can remember, drove the truck and played cards in the back with his mates. A pair of little dark haired, black eyed Greek boys would peek out from the back and occasionally scamper through the store.
From its inception, a case like you would find in an old fashioned butcher shop lined the east wall. A row of clear plastic tubs line the bottom of the case filled with Feta from France, Bulgaria, Hungary, Egypt and several places in Greece. Since the late 80s their cheese selection has expanded to include some 90 domestic and imported cheeses. Tubs of olives floating in brine sit next to the feta come from all around the Mediterranean. Today they stock some 30 varieties.
The shelves run east to west filled with exotic ingredients. If you have stumbled on an exotic recipe you have to make and are in dire need for adreih, biber, jerk spice, sumac or za'atar, Bill's has it.
Behind the counter Kiki keeps boxes filled with fresh baked treats from Chicago's Greek town. When the grandkids were small enough to carry in a pack, a common adventure included a stop at Bill's for a baklava, galaktoboureko, koulourakia, or kourabiethes, then a stop at the nearby Bryant Square Park and then a brief hydration stop at Bryant Lake Bowl, before the long march home.
Kiki has slowed down lately. She is not there as often and she spends more time sitting in a chair by the window. The little boys peeking from behind the cheese case are now full grown and spend more time running the shop. It is still the place to go for olive oil, fresh feta, olives, pita, exotic spices and cheese and the prices are good.


South Carolina is also facing nurse shortage problems, similar to other states of America and finding it difficult to keep pace with the demand of nurses in different health care facilities, all over the state. The situation has further reached in critical phase, as there are not enough nurse educators or faculties to train new nurses in Nursing Schools of South Carolina. Numerous nursing education applicants are deprived up nursing education due to these shortages.
Such scenarios give best opportunity to nurses to opt for advance studies and continue education to become educators in many specialized nursing fields. These reasons make nursing education a lucrative proposal to aspiring nursing students because the shortages also lead to easy employment with attractive salary.
The SC state nursing schools offer various types of entry level diplomas to graduate level degrees, masters, doctoral, research and PhD, through various private schools, public schools, technical institutes and hospitals. The aspiring students also have the option of online, evening and part time options to complete their programs.
These online options provide learning opportunities together with working to professionals, who can not spare enough time to attend day time campus programs. The flexible timing offered by the distance learning classes offers student a chance to complete their programs at their own pace or at their leisurely hours sitting at home.
Most of the nursing schools in SC are recognized by any one of federal and state approved US Nursing commissions such as National League for Nursing Accreditation Commission or Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education and approved by South Carolina State Board of Nursing.
It is also necessary that different schools have different Admission criteria that must be completed by nursing aspirants for enrolling in the different programs in the school.


A study co-led by IHW's Professor Stewart Mercer has found that a patient-centred approach to healthcare - involving people in the planning and delivery of their care - improved overall patient satisfaction but not their health-related quality of life (using measures such as mobility, self-care, pain and discomfort, and anxiety and depression).
The study, funded by the National Institute for Health Research, tested a new approach to caring for people with three or more long-term conditions, which aimed to improve their health-related quality of life and experience of patient-centred care, and reduce their burden of illness and treatment compared with usual care. The '3D' approach, which encourages clinicians to think broadly about the different dimensions of health, simplify complex drug treatment and consider mental health (depression) as well as physical health, was designed to treat the whole person and overcome the disadvantages of treating individual conditions in isolation.
It was a privilege to lead the Scottish arm of this UK study, the biggest ever trial worldwide of a patient-centred, integrated approach to care for patients with multiple long term conditions. Although the intervention did not result in the expected improvement in quality of life, it was gratifying to see significant improvements in patient satisfaction with their care, and improved relationships with their GPs. This is itself is a valuable outcome, especially in this time of high GP workload and stress.
Internationally, there is broad consensus about the key components of an approach to improve care for people with multimorbidity but we found little evidence about their effectiveness. We incorporated these components in the 3D approach, including a regular review of patients' problems according to their individual circumstances. We were surprised to find no evidence of improved quality of life for patients as a result of the intervention but this was balanced by significant improvements in patients' experience of care.
The question now is whether improved patient experience is sufficient justification for this approach. Given that improving patient experience is one of the triple arms of health care, alongside improving health and reducing costs, our view is that providing care that significantly improves patients' experience is justification in itself.

Highland Games are as iconically Scottish as bagpipes, kilts and whisky - all of which feature heavily at any gathering. Highland games in their current form date to 1867, but it seems likely that the Victorian event was merely a revival of a much older tradition that ceased after the suppression of clan customs following the 1745 Jacobite rising. The oldest free Highland Games in Scotland is held each June in Ceres and began under a Charter awarded by Robert the Bruce in recognition of the villagers' support at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. Today the games are noted...


Sánchez's research was inspired by "The Bridge Called My Back," an anthology of stories from women of color.
Last Saturday in the School Room of Abbot Hall, Sánchez shared her research on Peruvian women and highlighted the importance of narratives in Peru and the United States. Sánchez said that American feminism has been silencing women of color and their stories for decades.
"These unauthentic places of support that encourage non-acceptance are destructive to social justice movements," said Sánchez.
The Brace Center for Gender Studies, which works to educate students on topics regarding gender, equity, and inclusion, selected Sánchez as one of this year's Brace Student Fellows. The Brace Student Fellow program allows recipients to study and research gender issues on any topic of their choosing.
Emily Ortiz '19 appreciated Sánchez's presentation on an intellectual level as well as on a personal one.
"I think her presentation was very powerful, especially for us women of color on campus. A lot of what she said really resonated with me. I didn't know much about the struggles of indigenous Peruvian women before this, but I'm glad I learned what I did today," said Ortiz.
Sánchez decided to do her research on Peruvian women last year with the help of her advisor, Carolina Artacho, Instructor in Physics. Sánchez said that she had wanted to explore the subject of sisterhood since her Lower year.
"Emily was talking about her grandmother who didn't know how to read or write until she was 60 years old… So to bring that story with her and for her to amplify those stories and share them in spaces… gives power and sisterhood to the people that are here," said Artacho.
In her Upper year, Sánchez read "The Bridge Called My Back," a collection of stories written by women of color, edited by Cherríe Moraga and Gloria E. Anzaldúa. This book inspired Sánchez to learn more about Peruvian history, particularly its history of armed conflict and controversial leaders Alberto Fujimori and Abimael Guzmán, through the lens of indigenous peoples.
"I noticed that ["This Bridge Called My Back"] was also a power, a product of sisterhood. So many women had come together and placed their stories in this wonderful book, and it's all women of color," said Sánchez.
"I also started getting more into [Peruvian] history… I had heard that Alberto Fujimori was involved, and I had heard about him in my family before. He's a very controversial figure on his own… So then I decided to combine these two in some way or another," said Sánchez.
Sánchez began her presentation with the sociopolitical context of the Shining Path, a communist party that emerged in Peru around the 1970s and 1980s and began the country's armed conflict.
She described the sexist, derogatory language used by its leaders at Peruvian women and the experiences that hundreds of innocent indigenous women faced when they were wrongly jailed on account of conspiracy with the Shining Path.
"Many soldiers raped, tortured, and even killed the jailed women, most of whom were innocent… Indigenous women became a scapegoat," said Sánchez in her speech.
According to Alex Kruizenga '18, the powerful narratives helped audience members become more aware of the silenced groups in the presentation.
"It was just really jarring to see from first-person points of view what really happened to these women and what really comes from things like this," said Kruizenga.
Sánchez emphasized the importance of listening to the narratives and stories of others who have traditionally been silenced as an essential element of combatting discrimination.

PR Smackdown: You Pick the Winner
By Fast Company Staff 1 minute Read
I received three intriguing PR pitches yesterday. You pick the winner:
Contestant #1: UPS delivers a copy of Thomas Friedman's new book, "The World is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century." The book is mounted in a cardboard frame, with a wrapper that quotes from Friedman: "One of the most enjoyable things about researching this book has been discovering all sorts of things happening in the world around me of which I had no clue. Nothing was more surprisingly interesting than pulling the curtain back on UPS." So, huh: Tom Friedman is shilling for Brown? The accompanying letter from UPS describes its "in-sourcing" capability–basically, taking on its customers' business processes.
Contestant #2: Free booze! Chivas Regal announces its new 18-year-old Gold Signature Scotch Whiskey with a handsome booklike folder encasing press releases, photos, and a photo-CD. Also included: Three miniatures, one each of the two 18-year-old whiskeys that make up the blend, and a third of the blend itself. Much excitement ensues at FC World Headquarters.
Contestant #3: A postcard, postmarked in Nepal. It's from the North Face 2005 Sight to the Summit Expedition. On the front is a photo of a happy older woman who clearly has just had bandages removed from her eyes. On the back, the expedition name and a brief description: "Philanthropy: Assist with 450 cataract surgeries in Jiri and Paphlu, Solu Khumbu, Nepal." Then a list of the 13 North Face team members. The card is personally autographed by nine of them.
And the winner is?

大腿深動脈特に貫通動脈及び大腿背側の動脈分布について
74_841.pdf 9.3 MB
The author investigated 125 lower limbs of 69 Japanese cadavers from his dissecting room, and obtained the following results. 1. Definition of the perforating arteries and the medial perforating branches. As generally accepted, only those arteries, that perforate the adductors close to the linea aspera, are called perforating arteries. Such arteries, as those piercing the adductor maguns far from the femur, are provisionally called "medial perforating branches". The first perforating artery (Ⅰ) appears backwards from between the adductor minimus and the main part of the adductor magnus. The second perforating artery (Ⅱ) perforates the main part of the adductor magnus above or at the proximal third of the origin of the short head of the biceps. The third perforating arteries (Ⅲ) perforate the adductor magnus at the height of the middle and the distal thirds of the biceps origin. In some cases, a twig whose course and distribution are the same as those of the third perforating arteries arises from the distal part of the femoral artery or from the popliteal artery. Such are also included in the third perforating arteries. "Superior medial perforating branch" arises from the first perforating artery, the profunda femoris artery or the medial circumflex artery, pierces the adductor magnus and appears at the upper medial part of its posterior surface. Generally it occurs as one twig. "Inferior medial perforating branches" arise from the muscular branches to the adductor magnus and appears backwards at the lower part of the muscle, as one to three twigs. (Table 9). 2. The total number of perforating arteries (Tables 1, 2 and 3). They arise from the profunda femoris as 2-6 branches, in most of the cases as 3-5 (average 4.02). As they sometimes divide into 2 or 3 branches before they pass through the adductors, the number of branches, piercing the adductor magnus, is more than the former: 2-7, in most of the cases 4 or 5 (average 4.66). Furthermore, if the perforating arteries of the femoral and popliteal origins are included, the average number of the arteries, passing through the adductor magnus, is 4.85. 3. The number of each perforating artery (Tables 5 and 6). I is generally single, rather rarely two (30 limbs, 24.0%) or three (3 limbs, 2.4%) in number. The supernumerary first perforating arteries are its ascending branches, that pierce the muscle separately. Ⅱ also is generally single, rather rarely two or three (17.6%). Whereas, Ⅲ is generally two or three in number. In one case Ⅲ was missing. 4. The origin and branching of the perforating arteries are presented in Fig. 2. In the majority of the cases, the first and the second branches become Ⅰ and Ⅱ respectively, and Ⅲ are derived from the third branch and on (Type Ⅰ, 72.0%). Besides, the type Ⅱ (15.2%), in which the first branch divides into Ⅰ and Ⅱ, and type Ⅲ (12.0%), in which Ⅱ are derived from the first and second branches, are not rarely found. 5. Generally, Ⅰ and Ⅱ pierce the adductor brevis and the adductor magnus, while Ⅲ the latter muscle only. (Table 4). 6. Distribution of the perforating arteries and the "medial perforating branches". (Table 7 and Fig. 4). Generally the ascending branch of Ⅰ is distributed to the lower part of the gluteus maximus and its neighbourhood, the descending branch (the main branch), as the principal source of the arterial supply of the hamstring muscles, supply the long head of the biceps, the semitendinosus, the semimembranosus and the sciatic nerve, and Ⅱ and Ⅲ supply the short head of the biceps and the vastus lateralis and intermedius. The "superior medial perforating branch" enters the proximal part of the semimembranosus, and the "inferior medial perforating branches" supply chiefly the belly of the semimembranosus. 7. Besides the perforating arteries and the medial perforating branches, the hamstring muscles are supplied by some twigs : the transverse branch of the medial circumflex artery supplies the proximal part of the semitendinosus and the long head, and some twigs from the distal part of the femoral and from the popliteal arteries supply the distal part of the hamstring muscles. 8. Arterial pattern of the back of the thigh (Table 12, Figs 4, 5, 6) The lower part of the gluteus maximus receives branches from Ⅰ (100%), the vastus lateralis and intermedius from Ⅱ (95.2%) and Ⅲ (85.6%), the short head of the biceps from Ⅱ (57.6 %) and Ⅲ (99.2%), and the sciatic nerve from Ⅰ (82.4%), each with little variations. On the other hand, the arteries to the belly of the long head the semitendinosus and the semimembranosus are fairly variable. Normally, their main source is the descending branch of Ⅰ, and the inferior medial perforating branches (M) and sometimes Ⅱ, rarely Ⅲ as well, supply only a small part. But not rarely the descending branch is small or missing and substituted by M or Ⅱ. In this respect various arterial patterns of the back of the thigh are classified into five types: two types with developed Ⅰ, normal type (74 limbs, 59.2%) and paranormal type (19 limbs, 15.2%), type with developed M (14 limbs, 11.2%), type with developed Ⅱ (8 limbs, 6.4%) and mixed type (10 limbs, 8.0%).

Drug policy and maintenance programs
January 24, 2007 Marc Lee Leave a comment
Vancouver is suffering from a plague of poverty, homelessness, drug addiction, mental health issues and crime. The good news is that all of these are inter-related, and that senior governments have the funds to make a difference. So with the Olympics coming is just three years, the political culture of neglect is showing signs of activism. Vancouver's Mayor Sam Sullivan deserves credit for putting out some good ideas (that do not necessarily win him any points with his more right-wing, pro-business base) on how to deal with drug addiction.
Building on the harm reduction credentials of his predecessors, Larry Campbell and Phillip Owen, Sullivan is championing the next stage of harm reduction, providing drugs to addicts, so that they can stabilize their lives, and hopefully get clean, but in the interim get them out of the cycle of desperate need that fuels too much property crime in the city. This may all come to naught, as the Mayor faces serious ideological opposition in the form of the Harper government, who morally objects to harm reduction, and financial opposition from the provincial Liberal government, who have not been willing to spend money on the marginalized, despite having overflowing coffers.
This strategy should also be connected to a major initiative to create new supportive housing for addicts and those with mental health problems (and more affordable housing in general). If housing, drug maintenance (and treatment), and mental health issues could be packaged into a coherent plan, it would go a long way towards reducing the symptoms – namely crime, panhandling and homelessness – that everyone wants to see improved. We just need to get over the knee-jerk moralizing that prevents us from doing the right thing. If we do, we still have time to prevent Vancouver from being a global laughing stock come the 2010 Winter Games.
Below is today's lead editorial from the Vancouver Sun, followed by a story in the Sun a few days ago.
Alternative treatments give addicts a chance
Vancouver Mayor Sam Sullivan's plan to set up an alternative drug-treatment plan for 700 cocaine and crystal methamphetamine addicts might never come to fruition, but it's something that should be seriously considered.
… Trials have already been conducted in a number of jurisdictions, including Great Britain, which has been providing stimulants to addicts since 1988, Australia, South America, and surprisingly, the United States, and even more surprisingly, Texas. This means that, unlike the supervised injection facility, a maintenance program in Vancouver would not be the first of its kind in North America.In fact, University of Texas psychiatry professor John Grabowski, who has conducted maintenance trials involving the provision of methamphetamine and dextroamphetamine, has said that interest in such programs has been growing across the United States on the strength of the results he has seen.
Grabowski has found that heavy stimulant users reduce their consumption while on maintenance, and also report fewer signs of depression and behavioural disturbances. This improved biological and behavioural stability has allowed addicts to get on with their lives and focus on such things as behaviour-control counselling: A 2001 trial in Sydney, Australia, found that dextroamphetamine therapy increased the likelihood of addicts remaining in counselling.
Further, since many stimulant addicts currently inject their drugs — and do so many times a day, unlike heroin users who inject once or twice daily — they are at greatly heightened risk of contracting blood-borne diseases such as HIV and hepatitis C, and of suffering from skin problems.
But as Simon Fraser University's Bruce Alexander and Jonathan Tsou noted in a 2001 paper in Addiction Research and Theory, maintenance programs could help addicts replace injections with oral medication and avoid all the risks associated with injection drug use.
Stimulant maintenance, therefore, shows considerable promise and it's worth conducting a trial in Vancouver to see if the results from other studies are replicated.
The one thing standing in the way, it seems, is an ideology that says we must never provide drugs like heroin or methamphetamines to people.
And the story from a couple days ago by Frances Bula:
Mayor proposes 'revolutionary' plan for addicts
Sullivan wants city exempted from federal narcotics laws
Vancouver Mayor Sam Sullivan is lobbying the federal government for an exemption from Canada's narcotics laws that would allow what he calls a "revolutionary" alternative drug-treatment plan to give substitute drugs to at least 700 cocaine and crystal-meth addicts.
If he is successful, Vancouver would be a global pioneer in running such a large-scale program of drug maintenance for stimulant-drug users.
Sullivan said the drug plan, along with three other key elements that have to come from Ottawa or Victoria, will eliminate most of Vancouver's problems with homelessness, panhandling and drug-dealing. Those are the three social problems he promised to reduce by half in time for 2010 in the Project Civil City initiative that he launched in November.
Although the project document listed 54 suggested strategies aimed at everything from mental illness and homelessness to litter and motorcycle noise, Sullivan said the city won't have that much work to do if the provincial and federal governments tackle the big, underlying issues.
The other three elements he says are key:
– The province needs to provide the money to build social housing on 12 empty sites the city has available for it;
– The province needs to come up with a more aggressive plan for taking care of the mentally ill, which might mean moving some back to Riverview Hospital in Coquitlam;
– The federal government needs to ensure that community courts are used to channel drug users into the alternative drug program he envisions.
But he sees the drug plan, which would provide legal drugs as substitutes for the stimulant-type illegal drugs like cocaine and crystal meth, as pivotal, and he says that's the focus of most of his energy.

So this is my least favorite time of the year. I know it's weird right?
I could talk about it for hours, but it's not the subject here.
I was asked to try to do a Christmas card (for someone else than myself) and it was an epic fail.
I couldn't find the balance, damn.

Utah falls to No. 9 Arizona, missing golden opportunity due to two-point shooting
By Raphielle JohnsonFeb 17, 2013, 6:17 PM EST
"You are what your record says you are." – Bill Parcells
While the words of one of the football's greatest coaches are true, they can sometimes mask the steps a struggling programs has taken towards at the very least being more competitive. That's the case with Larry Krystkowiak's Utah Utes, who lost 68-64 to No. 9 Arizona on Sunday afternoon.
On the season Utah is 11-14 overall and 3-10 in Pac-12 play so the numbers clearly aren't pretty in that regard. But these Utes are far more competitive in their second season in the Pac-12, with Sunday's close call being the most recent example of the strides taken.
The statistic in Sunday's loss that tells the story for Utah: they shot 14-of-37 (37.8%) from inside the three-point arc. And when playing a team the quality of the Wildcats the Utes can ill afford to shoot that poorly if they're to be successful.
Mark Lyons led the Wildcats with 18 points and Solomon Hill and Brandon Ashley added ten points apiece, but Arizona shot 6-of-22 from beyond the arc with their senior point guard going 1-of-9.
The Wildcats left Salt Lake City with a win, avoiding a road sweep (and a three-game losing streak), due to big plays made down the stretch by their senior leaders and Utah's poor marksmanship inside of the arc.
Senior Jarred DuBois (16 points) and Jason Washburn (15 points, seven rebounds) led the way offensively for the Utes, who knocked off Arizona State 60-55 on Thursday night. Thanks to these two veterans (DuBois played his first three seasons at Loyola Marymount) and freshman forward Jordan Loveridge (12.0 ppg, 6.8 rpg), Krystkowiak's Utes have taken steps in the right direction when it comes to competing in the Pac-12.
DuBois and Washburn will be gone at the end of this season but in Loveridge, Utah has a player (who has been one of the league's best freshmen) they can build around.
There have been some tough nights this season, most recently losses to Stanford (87-55) and Oregon State (82-64) in recent weeks, but the nights on which Utah has looked overwhelmed from a talent standpoint have been infrequent.
"You are what your record says you are." Slowly but surely Krystkowiak and his program work to make sure their record in future seasons will paint a better picture of Utah basketball.

On Monday after "The Free Beer & Hot Wings Morning Show," we had the chance to talk to Joe Perry, the legendary guitarist from Aerosmith and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer!
We were pretty excited to talk to him for obvious reasons and were also interested to hear about his new book, "Rocks: My Life In and Out of Aerosmith," available now.
He also spoke about Aerosmith bandmate Steven Tyler and batching on stage.
Joe was waaaaay laid back during the interview.
So, towards the end, Hot Wings tried to get him to wake up a bit with the final question.
Listen to the entire "Free Beer & Hot Wings" interview below.


Having a life changing illness is a confusing and frightening time – even more so if you are on your own.
Two women brought together through St Catherine's Hospice tell how befriending has changed their outlooks on life – and why others should consider getting involved with the charity's worthwhile service.
Viv Watmough and Pat Nagle have known each other for more than three years, after their shared interest in animals and jigsaws saw them paired up by the St Catherine's Hospice befriending service.
Viv lives alone in Coppull, and suffers from a number of conditions which limit her mobility, including emphysema (a lung disease which affects her breathing and requires her to be on oxygen), and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
Carers come to her home four times a day, but if it wasn't for her weekly visits from Pat, she would have no-one to call a friend.
Viv says: "I was very depressed before I met Pat because I never really saw anyone. I was incredibly lonely. It's hard to get out because of my mobility issues, so I was feeling very low. Friends from the past have moved away, and my son lives out of the area so he visits as often as he can, but I hardly saw anyone to talk with.
Pat's no stranger to the difficulties of dealing with health problems, after being diagnosed with breast cancer and undergoing a double mastectomy in 2009.
It was shortly after that she began volunteering with St Catherine's, and she has been a befriender ever since the scheme was set up in 2011. The service was initially set up to offer full-time carers a break to see friends and family, carry out chores such as shopping, and attend appointments.
But it soon became apparent that the patients themselves got a lot out of the befrienders' visits too, and so Viv became the first befriendee who doesn't have a full-time carer. The service is now available for anyone who lives alone with a palliative diagnosis.
Befrienders spend a couple of hours each week keeping people company. They are not required to do any personal care for the patients or carry out practical tasks such as housework.
"Most of the time we just chat, sup tea and eat chocolate," Pat, of Lostock Hall, explains. "We talk about Viv's cats and she also collects dolls so we have a look at them. We also enjoy jigsaws and crosswords, and the time goes quite fast. We have a laugh and have some fun together. Sometimes we go for a walk using the wheelchair and she tells me all about the history of the area. We always seem to find new things to talk about.
St Catherine's is hosting a series of training sessions for potential new befrienders on January 29, 30 or 31 from 9.30am to 4.30pm to find out more about the service and getting involved.
n To find out more about the befriending service and to book a place on the training sessions, call the Family Support Team on 01772 629171 or email familysupport@stcatherines.co.uk.

Merits of marination
Columns What's Cooking?
Story By: Rachel Breit | Photos by: Rachel Breit
Marinades pull double duty in the kitchen: they tenderize and enhance flavor. For Sue Maiava, co-owner of Lili's BBQ, "enhance" is the key word, and her marinade recipes do just that. They bring out meat's goodness, without overpowering it.
Maiava uses recipes gleaned from her previous 16 years of experience working in a local Korean restaurant. She's adapted the recipes to ensure the natural flavors of the ingredients she uses don't get lost in the mix. For instance, at her husband's request, she pared down a kimchee recipe — house-made with no MSG, like everything else she serves — to minimize the pungent condiment's lingering effects. "There's no strong flavors," she explains. "It's more mild."
Kal Bi ($10.50)
BBQ Chicken ($8)
Spicy Pork ($8.50)
Owner Sue Maiava and line cook Chong Yashiki
Her food is more mild perhaps, but not dull. Such is the case with BBQ Chicken ($8). The boneless, skinless chicken thighs, a generous portion of four or more, pick up a slight sweetness and shiny glaze from 24 hours of marination with a little honey, and a smoky flavor from minutes on the grill. Grilling, Maiava shares, is a balancing act between keeping meat juicy while achieving a good char. It all comes down to the "right temperature," she says. Kal Bi ($10.50) also takes a turn on the grill. The traditionally prepared short ribs slices turn out with a tender yet satisfying chew.
Enrobed in Maiava's own chili paste, Spicy Pork ($8.50) embodies a different kind of heat. Maiava assures the spice level is manageable though. "It's a medium hot. If you can eat kimchee, you can eat spicy pork," she says. Again, the meat is marinaded before grilling, and the little bit of fat left on the cuts of meat add flavor and juiciness.
Co-owner and Sue's husband Filipo also knows a thing or two when it comes to juiciness and flavor. He's a smoker — of meats, that is. Filipo prepares Smoked Brisket ($9.75) and Smoked Pork Ribs ($9.75) off-site using a technique he brought back to the Islands after a trip to Texas. The meats cook for up to 10 hours in a hefty smoker until they are fork-tender. Even though smoking is a different cooking method altogether — and a departure from tradition for a Korean spot — the eatery, like with any of its other offerings, does it with care.

Ernst Heinrich Graf von Schimmelmann (* 4. Dezember 1747 in Dresden; † 9. Februar 1831 in Kopenhagen) war ein dänischer Finanz- und Außenminister.

Leben

Ernst Heinrich von Schimmelmann war der älteste Sohn von Heinrich Carl von Schimmelmann und Caroline Tugendreich von Friedeborn (1730–1795). Ab 1759 lebte er mit seiner Familie in Holstein, wo sein Vater das Schloss Ahrensburg erworben hatte. Dort war der spätere Taubstummenlehrer Samuel Heinicke sein Hauslehrer. Anschließend unternahm Schimmelmann eine Grand tour durch England, Frankreich und Italien, auf der er Nationalökonomie studierte. Nach seiner Rückkehr 1767 trat er als Konferenzrat in den Staatsdienst ein und stieg dort unter seinem Vater bald auf. 1771 reiste er nach Norwegen.

1775 heiratete er Emilie Caroline Christiane Rantzau (* 1752). Die Ehe blieb kinderlos. Sie starb 1780 an Tuberkulose. Zu ihrer Erinnerung ließ Schimmelmann von Nicolai Abildgaard den klassizistischen Emilienbrunnen am Strandvej vor seinem Landhaus Sølyst bei Klampenborg (Gentofte Kommune) errichten. Friedrich Leopold zu Stolberg-Stolberg widmete ihr das Gedicht Hellebæk nach dem Sommersitz des Paares nahe der Schimmelmannschen Gewehrfabrik in Hellebæk.

Nach dem Tod seines Vaters 1782 erbte Schimmelmann Schloss und Lehnsgrafschaft Lindenborg bei Aalborg in Nordjütland und übernahm die Leitung des Familienfideikommiss. Aus den Plantagen seines Vaters in den dänischen Kolonien Saint Thomas, Saint Croix und Saint Jan in Westindien erhielt er jährlich über 100.000 Reichstaler.

1782 schloss er eine zweite Ehe mit Charlotte Schubart (1757–1816), die ebenfalls kinderlos blieb. Statt eigener Kinder adoptierte das Ehepaar zwei verwaiste Mädchen, ihre Nichte Josephine und die gleichaltrige Louise. Seine zweite Frau betätigte sich als Salonniere und Förderin der Kultur. So finanzierte das Ehepaar Schimmelmann Jens Baggesen und Adam Oehlenschläger Reisen ins Ausland. Zusammen mit dem Prinzen Friedrich Christian von Augustenburg boten sie 1791 Friedrich Schiller eine jährliche Pension von 1000 Talern an, die ihm fünf Jahre lang gezahlt wurde, um ihm während seiner Krankheit Finanzsorgen zu nehmen. Sie nahm auch großen Anteil an der aufgeklärten Reformen, die ihr Mann und seine Kollegen im Dänischen Gesamtstaat einführten.

1783 bereitete Schimmelmann zusammen mit Christian Ditlev Reventlow und Andreas Peter Bernstorff den Sturz von Ove Høegh-Guldberg vor, der seit 1772 für den geisteskranken König Christian VII. regiert hatte. Unter dem neuen Regenten, dem jungen Kronprinzen Friedrich, wurde Schimmelmann 1784 dänischer Finanz- und Handelsminister. Gemeinsam mit Reventlow und Bernstorff wirkte er erfolgreich auf eine Modernisierung der Wirtschaft und der Industrie hin. Bis 1800 galt Dänemark deshalb als der fortschrittlichste Staat Europas. 1790 wurde er in den Elefanten-Orden aufgenommen.

1792 erwirkte Schimmelmann das Verbot des Sklavenhandels, das aber erst 1803 in Kraft trat. Er setzte sich auch für eine bessere Behandlung der Sklaven ein. Bis zum endgültigen Inkrafttreten des Verbot des Sklavenhandels profitierte Schimmelmann nicht nur weiterhin von der Sklaverei, durch die seine Zuckerrohr-Plantagen und die Zuckerraffinerie in Kopenhagen große Gewinne abwarfen, sondern vergab auch Kredite, durch die andere Plantagenbesitzer sich vor Inkrafttreten des Verbots mehr Sklaven beschaffen konnten.

Während der Napoleonischen Kriege 1800 bis 1813, denen Schimmelmann mit seiner Finanzpolitik nicht entgegensteuerte, erhöhten sich die dänischen Staatsschulden von 10,5 Millionen Taler auf 142 Millionen, was zum 1813 dänischen Staatsbankrott führte. Die Währungsreform, die Schimmelmann daraufhin durchsetzte, führte zu einer massiven Geldabwertung und weiterem Niedergang der Wirtschaft. Auch ein Teil des Familienvermögens ging verloren. Schimmelmann verlor das Finanzministerium, blieb aber Mitglied der Regierung.

1824 übernahm er das Auswärtige Ministerium, das bis zu seinem Tode 1831 führte.

Er ist neben seinen beiden Frauen in der St.-Petri-Kirche der deutschsprachigen Gemeinde in Kopenhagen beigesetzt, deren Kirchenpatron er seit 1800 war und deren Wiederaufbau nach den Zerstörungen durch die Bombardierung Kopenhagens 1807 er leitete.

Q: How to use mongo/mongoose to connect to a remote database I have a node js app in IP ex: 111.111.111.23:3000 I want to connect from my local express/node app script to my remote mongodb database. the database is running in the IP mention above but for some reason all i can do is connect to my local mongodb databse.
if (app.get('env') === 'development') {
    app.use(function (err, req, res, next) {
        res.status(err.status || 500);
        res.render('error', {
            message: err.message,
            error: err
        });
    });

    mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/test');
}

the code above is in my app.js and it works, but what I want to do is something like this.
if (app.get('env') === 'development') {
    app.use(function (err, req, res, next) {
        res.status(err.status || 500);
        res.render('error', {
            message: err.message,
            error: err
        });
    });

    mongoose.connect('mongodb:111.111.111.23:27017/test');
}

I tried adding the ip with and without the port but it fails.
My question is how do I connect to my remote database from my local machine ?
it case this help. The remote server is running ubuntu server 14.04 and I installed mongodb using this guide: https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/
I get the following error:
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 111.111.111.23:27017

A: The mongoose connection format is:
mongoose.connect('mongodb://username:password@host:port/database')

if you don't have username and password, just execute:
mongoose.connect('mongodb://host:port/database');

Source: http://mongoosejs.com/docs/connections.html
You could also try to connect using the mongo client and see if it works..
$ mongo 111.111.111.23:27017

Also, but not likely, make sure your mongod service is up.
$ sudo service mongod start

Finnaly, make sure your firewall is down or open the port using:
$ iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 27017 -j ACCEPT

A: Here is my code and still having the error:
error:
E:\nodeJs>node mongoDBApi.js

E:\nodeJs\node_modules\mongodb\lib\mongo_client.js:792
          throw err;
          ^
[object Object]

code:
var MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
var url = 'mongodb://xxxx:xxxx@192.168.11.14:22/';

MongoClient.connect(url, function(err, db) {
  if (err) throw err;
  var dbo = db.db("cdb");
  dbo.collection("ccollection").findOne({}, function(err, result) {
    if (err) throw err;
    console.info(result.name);
    db.close();
  });
});

A: code :
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const DbConnector = () => {
  const DbConnectStr = process.env.MONGODB_URL;
  mongoose.connect(DbConnectStr, {
    useNewUrlParser: true,
    useUnifiedTopology: true
  },
  (err) => {
    if (err) console.log(err);
    else console.log("Database Connected");
  });
};
module.exports = { DbConnector };


Is my laptop completely broken?
I bought an MSI notebook nearly 2 years ago and never had an issue. Recently i came home from school and i opened my laptop to watch a movie when my laptop dropped from my bed, above knee height. I quickly picked it up in hopes that it wasnt broken, and it wasnt. It worked perfectly fine till i closed it to go to sleep. The next day coming back from school again i boot up my laptop and its incredibly slow and crashed windows at desktop. My laptop restarted with preparing automatic repairs and then went to the blue screen of death. It said windows boot was missing in the system not allowing it to boot up. Under it was a message saying i need an installation media, because my laptop doesnt have a dvd reader i prompted to make a windows 8.1 iso file onto a usb from my sisters computer. I stick the usb in and start my laptop and it takes me to tbe windows install/repair. I click the repair and go to refresh my pc (as i saw as advice online) and it says drive is locked and i have to unlock it. Then i tried to reset (at this point i didnt care about losing all my data) and it said i had no partition and that i have to create one.
After all of that i decided to take the usb out and restart my notebook and it gave me the blue screen of death with error code: 0x0000185. I tried looking all over the net for solutions i tried many including command prompt.. and this is where i cleaned my hard drive (windows boot manager wasnt showing up in UEFI either). I restarted my laptop with the usb stick in in hoped of working i click install on windows 8.1 creation media and it gives me my hard drive but it doesnt allow me to reinstall windows or fix anything at all.
Now im stuck where when i boot my notebook up it shows the msi logo then says checking media presence then no media present then goes straighy to UEFI.
Im guessing my HDD is dead and i cleaned it so theres no way of getting my data back on guessing... if theres anything i could do to solve this??
Also my question is if i buy a new SDD and install it would i be able to reinstall windows and my laptop will work fine and as brand new? Or do i need to take to a repair shop..
I know its long but i wanted you to fully understand, thanks for staying til this point.
I took my laptop to a professional computer aid shop where they said the hdd is beimg recognised but the ssd isnt. Any help here please im at a loss..
