Praise for Horatius Bonar
. . . when I think of Dr. Bonar . . . as a writer, it is like a pure, broad light shining from heaven, where all the promises of salvation to men on earth appear to pour down as the perfect divine revelation, with nothing of man's embellishment . . . it is all the divine message from beginning to end. Study the poetry, study the prose, you will feel the heart of God beating through it all.
—Lord Polwarth
His fervent and faithful presentation of evangelical truth was eminently successful . . . A warm-hearted, kindly man, ready to help by word and deed, he found a congregation which appreciated his character, and received the truth gladly at his lips.
—Fifty Portraits
There is a charm about Dr. Bonar's writings that has procured for them a deservedly high place in the religious literature of the present day. The deep piety and thorough earnestness which make his public ministrations and pastoral visits so impressive, pervade all his publications. Dr. Bonar has cultivated the intellect as well as the heart. There is food for both the devotional and the intellectual.
His arguments deserve serious examination. . . . Dr. Bonar is well known as one of the ablest and deservedly most popular religious writers of the day. There is a directness, a manliness, a fervor, and depth about him, which distinguishes his works from the mass of those which are destined to live only for 'a season or two.' Few have been more successful than he in presenting heavenly truth in a form acceptable and accessible.
—The Eclectic Review
Dr. Bonar is to be regarded as happy in having spoken more searchingly to the general religious feeling of his age than almost any other writer of hymns, and is to be reverence for the services to the Church's praise, and the gifts to the solitary hours of faith, that it has privilege to bring to us.
Of living names there are few more venerated than that of Dr. Horatius Bonar; and they who know him, and especially those who thoroughly sympathize with his theological views, will regard the work at the head of this notice as the contribution of his matured wisdom and piety to the cause of truth and human salvation.

Title: The Life and Works of Horatius Bonar (47 vols.)
Author: Horatius Bonar
Volumes: 47
Pages: 12,507
Kelso Tracts
Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7
Originally written for his congregation, these tracts gained enormous popularity and were published to wide acclaim. "It was found, in conversation with the troubled and doubting, that much confusion prevailed in their minds, as to both of these points: the Work of Christ and the Work of the Spirit." Bonar's straightforward and inspiring tracts are perfect for personal devotional reading.
The Night of Weeping
One of Bonar's most cherished writings, The Night of Weeping engages the biblical view of suffering and explains how it is an essential aspect of belonging to God.
We know not whether it is possible, without being deeply tried, sorely afflicted, laid under a heavy and a steady rod, to enter into the depths of the consolation contained in this most precious and blessed little book. The author seems to have a special mission to speak to the heart of the rebuked and chastened one; and how sweetly, how solemnly, how tenderly, how scripturally he has executed his task let them bear witness who receive the message. . . . We cannot express what we feel concerning it; but this testimony may go further than a common-place eulogium.
—The Christian Lady's Magazine
Bonar examines God's will and man's will, election, predestination and foreknowledge, faith, and more in this collection of essays on some of the major doctrines of Christianity.
It meets a want often felt in this country as well as that, of some brief and popular presentation of the truth, accompanied with a confutation of the opposing errors. It is characterized by that earnestness, sincerity, and piety, which distinguish the writings of the excellent author.
—Southern Presbyterian Review
Prophetical Landmarks
Prophetical Landmarks is Bonar's astute defense of millenarianism. Divided into two parts, the first part of the book covers prophecy, and the second part is devoted to predictions concerning the Antichrist, with "a brief glance at those 'signs' which are the outriders of the approaching King."
The Blood of the Cross
"Reader! Rest not until you have got matters thoroughly settled between God and your soul," says Bonar in the preface to The Blood of the Cross . This book expounds the importance of God presenting his only begotten son for all of mankind's salvation. Written with Bonar's customary verve, this concise book is a spiritual treasure that champions timeless truths.
We would direct the special attention of our readers to this little work. It is written throughout with much earnestness, in many places with great power, and cannot well be read without producing a very solemnizing impression. It is pre-eminently of an awakening character, and may be put into the hands of the careless and the slothful with strong hopes of advantage.
—Free Church Magazine
This is a weighty little book on a great and glorious theme.
—Scottish Guardian
A singularly impressive and solemnizing little work.
—Christian Treasury
It is a pleasing and most gratifying evidence that the fire of love to the souls of men is still burning in the breast of its pious author, and thus seeking an outlet, not only from the pulpit, but even from the press. There is true cause of joy in the appearance of this little volume.
Full of pious observations, and contains some pointed and solemn passages; and we doubt not will be acceptable and profitable.
—Kelso Chronicle
Like some other works which Dr. Bonar has given to the world, this book is eminently practical, and founds its practical instructions upon the grandest and most stirring themes of the gospel.
—Christian Instructor
This little volume is written in a very energetic style. It seems to be the aim of the author to produce a present effect. It contains much that is valuable and true.
This handsome little volume abounds with pious meditations o the subject of which it treats, and the whole volume is infused with the pious spirit of its estimable author.
—Baltimore Patriot
The Morning of Joy
The sequel to The Night of Weeping, The Morning of Joy rejoices in God's salvation and the eternal life He's given us. Brimming with good news from the Scriptures, Bonar illustrates the happiness that comes with knowing Christ, and the peace of mind it affords.
Man: His Religion and His World
Demonstrating how politics and philosophy have erroneously inserted themselves into religion, Bonar's Man: His Religion and His World reminds readers of the true direction their hearts must seek. "It is not opinions that man needs, it is Truth. It is not theology, it is God. It is not religion, it is Christ. It is not literature and science, but the knowledge of the free love of God in the gift of His only-begotten Son."
The fervid spirit, and glowing earnestness, so characteristic of Mr. Bonar, breathe through every paragraph of this little volume. There are passages . . . which indicate a higher power of analysis and generalization, than we remember to have noticed in any previous production of the author; but it owes its promise of usefulness . . . as to the directness and energy with which it grapples with the conscience of a man of the world, in search of religion and peace.
—Princeton Review
A powerful analysis of the irreligion of the age; of those grades and shades of error under which man shelters himself from the shafts of the Divine truth.
—The Quarterly Review of the Methodist Episcopal Church
. . . this short analysis by Mr. Bonar, will serve as an able auxiliary to detect what is hollow in the personal profession of religion; and what is of man, and what is of God, in the views taken of the aspect, the wants, and the destinies of the world.
—The Christian Guardian
Words of Peace and Welcome
With short, 1–2 page bursts of biblical observations, Words of Peace and Welcome is a trove of spiritual insights—perfect for dipping into day after day for holy inspiration.
A Stranger Here
A Stranger Here is the biography of a nameless woman, who, alone in the world, comes to find Christ—and an inward peacefulness—despite her harsh surroundings. A tale of true inspiration, this woman's journey is as moving as it is timeless.
While there is nothing in this book to attract the eye of the worldling by its glare, it is replete with the glorious spectacle of 'pure and undefiled religion.'
This little volume, as its title would indicate, is a simple record of the spiritual life and exercises of one of the most lovely characters we have ever known. It places before us, in such a manner too, as to make it vividly interesting, the progress of a child of God from a state of spiritual darkness and entire devotion to the pleasures of this vain world, through many varying scenes of alternate doubt and hope, light and darkness, conflict and peace, to the full assurance of faith, and to a lively hope in the Lord Jesus Christ.
—The Evangelical Repository
The Eternal Day
Completing the trilogy that started with The Night of Weeping and The Morning of Joy, Bonar's The Eternal Day celebrates the occasion when those in heaven look back upon their lives, and celebrate the joy and sorrow that led them to the light of God.
This volume exemplifies the author's usual method of presenting the subjects which he treats,—not by an analysis of principles, original and far reaching views, or a demonstrative course or reasoning; but with a reference to readers who need rather to be reminded of truths of which they already have a measure of knowledge taught them for the first time,—by plain, pointed, antithetic, and stirring statements and remarks; a recital of the principal passage of the sacred word which relate to the theme, and an exhibition of them in all the various attitudes and relations in which they can be contemplated with such counsels, warnings, and exhortations as are adapted to give them a proper impression on the heart.
—The Theological and Literary Journal
The Desert of Sinai
Beginning in France, traveling though Egypt, and ending in Beersheba, Bonar's travelogue was mostly written in the form of journal notes while traveling on a camel. A fascinating window into the Bible lands of the 19th century.
Dr. Bonar, the author of some of the best hymns ever produced in Scotland, and in other respects favorably known as a writer of religious books, is a very pleasant traveler, especially in the regions of Bible geography. He has a lively sense of natural beauty, and is always on the alert to catch every possible illustration of the events, the doctrines, or the phraseology of the Bible.
It is vivacious, entertaining, and instructive throughout, and is especially interesting beyond other volumes we have lately seen, in the views he presents of the passage of the Red Sea, the origin of the inscriptions on the rocks in the vicinity of Sinai, and the delineation of the country living directly between Sinai and Beersheba.
The Land of Promise
The second part to Bonar's travelogue of his journey to the far east, The Land of Promise describes his travels from Beersheba to the lands of Palestine. Written in journal form, these exciting entries show "that Palestine bears to be often visited, and can afford to be spoken of for the hundredth time without yielding less to one that come after."
This volume narrates the author's journey from the southern part of Judea, skirting the desert, to Hebron, Jerusalem, the Dead Sea, the Sea of Galilee, the sources of the Jordan, and finally the cities on the Mediterranean coast from Sidon to Jaffa. The story is vivacious, the description of scenery graphic.
Follow the Lamb
"It is for you who are called by the name of Christ that these pages are written, that you may be reminded of what God expects for you, and of what your new name commits you to." So begins Follow the Lamb, Bonar's guidebook for the newly converted Christian. Filled with inspirational wisdom and practical advice for living the Christian life, this work has stood the test of time.
There is a great deal of wisdom compressed in this little book, and it would be well if a copy were placed in the hands of every beginner in the Christian life.
—Albany Evening Journal
God's Way of Peace
"A book for the anxious," God's Way of Peace reminds us that God's love is with us every day and always, not something to be sought after in time. "To know that He is not far; that He has come down; that He has come nigh; this is the beginning of the gospel."
The best book for the anxious ever written.
—Rev. Samuel Garratt
Family Sermons
Sample Pages: 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7
In Family Sermons, Bonar provides fifty-two short sermons, one for every Sabbath of the year, meant for family reading and discussion.
This is a very handsome volume externally, the typography is clear and beautiful, and its contents will be warmly appreciated by many Christian families. Dr. Bonar's book is all that could be desired. . . . We cordially recommend these 'Family Sermons.'
These are short sermons, fifty-two in number, designed to illustrate the glorious gospel in some of its manifold aspects, by one of the most popular living writers of Scotland.
—The Biblical Repertory and Princeton Review
God's Way of Holiness
"True holiness must start from a true and authentic peace." Bonar's treatise on holiness and what it means to be a Christian, God's Way of Holiness is a passionate and powerful book packed with biblical insight.
: Few religious writers are more widely and favorable known than is the author of this little work. Its clear statement of doctrine, its warm devotional spirit, and its thoroughly evangelical character, will make it a welcome and profitable companion in the closet and the family.
—The American Presbyterian and Theological Review
We thank Dr. Bonar sincerely for this timely utterance in behalf of great principles and duties; and we earnestly hope that, as containing vital truth, it may be blessed to the souls of many.
—Evangelical Christendom
We cannot lay aside this exposition of 'God's Way of Holiness' without earnestly commending the reading of such works to the junior clergy. They will do more to establish them in right views of Christian doctrine than any other order of writing.
—Scottish Sabbath School Teachers' Magazine
We are grateful to the author for this faithful and zealous testimony in favor of holiness. . . . There is much thought in the book, and, like all the works of the same writer, it is suggestive of thought. On the whole, we much like the book.
—Journal of Sacred Literature
Days and Nights in the East
Because of the popularity of his books The Desert of Sinai and The Land of Promise, Bonar decided to remove the topographical and technical information from the two travelogues to present a condensed memoir of his exciting travels in the far East as a single volume.
. . . Will be welcomed by many interested in the illustration of Bible scenes, who would probably be deterred from the perusal of the original works, by their voluminous topographical references. The book is full of interesting incidents, throwing new lights on many familiar passages of the Old and New Testament.
—Victoria Magazine
The ordinary reader may now have, at a trifling cost, the delightful privilege of visiting with the accomplished author all those places which are rendered famous and dear to the Christian as the secens of Bible history.
—The English Presbyterian Messenger
Words Old and New
An anthology of quotations from some of the most significant figures in Christian history. Starting with Clement of Rome and ending with Robert Murray McCheyne, a contemporary of Bonar, these ageless gems of wisdom are uplifting and inspirational.
This is, as the title indicates, a choice collection of weighty and wise sayings. It will prove an excellent thought-book for those who are wise enough to love the process of storing the mind with fitting and profitable themes for mediation.
—The Baptist Magazine
Light and Truth: Bible Thoughts and Themes, Vol. 1
The volumes in Bonar's Light and Truth series comprise of numerous short devotional meditations on different parts of the Bible. Volume one covers the Old Testament in eighty-four chapters.

Life of the Rev. John Milne, of Perth
Bonar's biography of fellow Scotsman Reverend John Milne paints a portrait of a noble and pious man that had a great effect on the Christian community around him.
This is one of the most delightful volumes of Christian biography which it has been our privilege to read.
—The British and Foreign Evangelical Review
A very quickening and suggestive book.
The Everlasting Righteousness
"How may I, a sinner, draw near to Him in whom there is no sin, and look upon His face in peace?" Bonar answers this question and more in his quest to understand and explain the doctrine of Justification.
A rich book, suggestive, gracious, full of holy unction. Unlike many writers of the Evangelical school Dr. Bonar is not content with baling out milk for babes, but gives us real thought and teaching. There never was any need that orthodoxy and platitudes should go together, but they often have done so; no one can bring that charge in reference to this work. We say to all our friends, read and be refreshed.
—Sword and Trowel
Earth's Morning; or Thoughts on Genesis
"Genesis is not merely the first book of Scripture, but it is the fountainhead of revelation. It must be studied as such if we would understand it aright," writes Bonar in the introduction to his study of Genesis. Also included is his observations on the Sabbath, and an essay on Satan.
The Rent Veil
The Rent Veil is Bonar's fascinating examination of the atonement, the nature of sin and forgiveness, and man's duties here on Earth.
A most solemn topic is handled in it in a manner suitable to its importance. Much spiritual teaching will be found in it.
—The Christian Observer
Words to Winners of Souls
A treatise on the life of a minister, Bonar provides practical advice for those leading congregations. A succinct and powerful volume of wisdom from a man that knows how to stoke the embers of faith into great flames.
This is an excellent little work. No Christian minister should fail to read it.
—The Evangelical Repository and United Presbyterian Review
The White Fields of France
The White Fields of France is Bonar's portrait of the missionary work being done in France, as well an overview of the spiritual condition the country finds itself in.
The title page of this book is in itself full of interest, and a very cursory perusal of the contents will convince the reader that . . . there are at present white fields in France gleaming bright with the promise of a glorious Christian harvest.
Does God Care For Our Great Cities?
Based on his observations of the missionary work in France, Bonar dedicates this concise book to the hard working Protestant pastors whom he met on his travels, and who he feels are doing God's work among the "wickedness of the city."
How Shall I Go To God?
One of Bonar's most popular works, How Shall I Go To God? examines many of life's complicated questions. Exploring happiness, hope, prayer, death, and more, Bonar offers unique and interesting perspective to life's oldest questions.
A clear and beautiful exhibition of the way of a sinner's acceptance with God.
—Religious Tract Society

"A promising and promise-keeping God; what an idea! What other system of religion contains it?" Bonar examines promises found in the Bible, grouping them into promises for sinners, the thirsty, the hungry, the weary, and the blind.
The worth of this excellent little handbook cannot fail to be appreciated by every devotional mind.
Adoniram Judson: A Missionary of the Apostolic School
This biography of Adoniram Judson, one of the first North American Protestant missionaries to preach in Burma, was written by Bonar and edited by his daughter. "Noble, daring, self-denied, successful beyond most, he wrought a work which remains, and will remain. The Apostle of Burma was no common man, and wrought no common work," writes Bonar of Judson. A fascinating portrayal of a man that dedicated almost forty years to missionary work.

17 Project Risk Management Techniques in Resource Allocation, Scheduling and Planning
Authors: Hossein Amoozad Khalili, Anahita Maleki
Normally business changes are made in order to change a level of activity in some way, whether it is sales, cash flow, productivity, or product portfolio. When attempts are made to make such changes, too often the business reverts to the old levels of activity as soon as management attention is diverted. Risk management is a field of growing interest to project managers as well as in general business and organizational management. There are several approaches used to manage risk in projects and this paper is a brief outline of some that you might encounter, with an indication of their strengths and weaknesses.

15 A New Method for Rapid DNA Extraction from Artemia (Branchiopoda, Crustacea)
Authors: R. Manaffar, R. Maleki, S. Zare, N. Agh, S. Soltanian, B. Sehatnia, P. Sorgeloos, P. Bossier, G. Van Stappen
Artemia is one of the most conspicuous invertebrates associated with aquaculture. It can be considered as a model organism, offering numerous advantages for comprehensive and multidisciplinary studies using morphologic or molecular methods. Since DNA extraction is an important step of any molecular experiment, a new and a rapid method of DNA extraction from adult Artemia was described in this study. Besides, the efficiency of this technique was compared with two widely used alternative techniques, namely Chelex® 100 resin and SDS-chloroform methods. Data analysis revealed that the new method is the easiest and the most cost effective method among the other methods which allows a quick and efficient extraction of DNA from the adult animal.
Keywords: APD, Artemia, DNA extraction, Molecularexperiments
14 Effectiveness of Working Memory Training on Cognitive Flexibility
Authors: Leila Maleki, Ezatollah Ahmadi
The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of memory training exercise on cognitive flexibility. The method of this study was experimental. The statistical population selected 40 students 14 years old, samples were chosen by available sampling method and then they were replaced in experimental (training program) group and control group randomly and answered to Wisconsin Card Sorting Test; covariance test results indicated that there were a significant in post-test scores of experimental group (p<0.005).
Keywords: Cognitive flexibility, working memory exercises, problem solving, reaction time.
13 Neuroplasticity: A Fresh Beginning for Life
Neuroplasticity or the flexibility of the neural system is the ability of the brain to adapt to the lack or deterioration of sense and the capability of the neural system to modify itself through changing shape and function. Not only have studies revealed that neuroplasticity does not end in childhood, but also they have proven that it continues till the end of life and is not limited to the neural system and covers the cognitive system as well. In the field of cognition, neuroplasticity is defined as the ability to change old thoughts according to new conditions and the individuals' differences in using various styles of cognitive regulation inducing several social, emotional and cognitive outcomes. This paper attempts to discuss and define major theories and principles of neuroplasticity and elaborate on nature or nurture.

12 Efficiency of Floristic and Molecular Markers to Determine Diversity in Iranian Populations of T. boeoticum
Authors: M. R. Naghavi, M. Maleki, S. F. Tabatabaei
In order to study floristic and molecular classification of common wild wheat (Triticum boeoticum Boiss.), an analysis was conducted on populations of the Triticum boeoticum collected from different regions of Iran. Considering all floristic compositions of habitats, six floristic groups (syntaxa) within the populations were identified. A high level of variation of T. boeoticum also detected using SSR markers. Our results showed that molecular method confirmed the grouping of floristic method. In other word, the results from our study indicate that floristic classification are still useful, efficient, and economic tools for characterizing the amount and distribution of genetic variation in natural populations of T. boeoticum. Nevertheless, molecular markers appear as useful and complementary techniques for identification and for evaluation of genetic diversity in studied populations.
Keywords: T. boeoticum, diversity, floristic, SSRs.
11 Iran's Gas Flare Recovery Options Using MCDM
Authors: Halle Bakhteeyar, Azadeh Maroufmashat, Abbas Maleki, Sourena Sattari Khavas
In this paper, five options of Iran's gas flare recovery have been compared via MCDM method. For developing the model, the weighing factor of each indicator an AHP method is used via the Expert-choice software. Several cases were considered in this analysis. They are defined where the priorities were defined always keeping one criterion in first position, while the priorities of the other criteria were defined by ordinal information defining the mutual relations of the criteria and the respective indicators. The results, show that amongst these cases, priority is obtained for CHP usage where availability indicator is highly weighted while the pipeline usage is obtained where environmental indicator highly weighted and the injection priority is obtained where economic indicator is highly weighted and also when the weighing factor of all the criteria are the same the Injection priority is obtained.

10 Quantum Statistical Mechanical Formulations of Three-Body Problems via Non-Local Potentials
Authors: A. Maghari, V. H. Maleki
In this paper, we present a quantum statistical mechanical formulation from our recently analytical expressions for partial-wave transition matrix of a three-particle system. We report the quantum reactive cross sections for three-body scattering processes 1+(2,3)→1+(2,3) as well as recombination 1+(2,3)→1+(3,1) between one atom and a weakly-bound dimer. The analytical expressions of three-particle transition matrices and their corresponding cross-sections were obtained from the threedimensional Faddeev equations subjected to the rank-two non-local separable potentials of the generalized Yamaguchi form. The equilibrium quantum statistical mechanical properties such partition function and equation of state as well as non-equilibrium quantum statistical properties such as transport cross-sections and their corresponding transport collision integrals were formulated analytically. This leads to obtain the transport properties, such as viscosity and diffusion coefficient of a moderate dense gas.
Keywords: Statistical mechanics, Nonlocal separable potential, three-body interaction, Faddeev equations.
9 Investigating the Fatigue Crack Initiation Location in Interference Fitted and/or bolt Clamped Al 2024-T3 Double Shear Lap Joints
Authors: Babak Abazadeh, Hadi Rezghi Maleki
In this paper the fatigue crack initiation location of double shear lap joints, treated by interference fit and bolt clamping, have been investigated both experimentally and numerically. To do so, using the fracture section of available fatigue tested specimens of interference fitted and torque tightened Aluminum 2024-T3 plates, the crack initiation location was determined. The stress distribution attained from the finite element analysis was used to help explain the results observed in the experimental tests. The results showed that the fatigue crack initiation location changes from top and mid plane at the hole edge to somewhere far from the hole edge (stress concentration region) in different combination of clamping force, interference fit size and applied cyclic load ranges. It is worth mentioning that the fatigue crack initiation location affects the fatigue life of the specimens too.
Keywords: Fatigue crack initiation, interference fit, bolt clamping, double shear lap joint.
8 Object-Centric Process Mining Using Process Cubes
Authors: Anahita Farhang Ghahfarokhi, Alessandro Berti, Wil M.P. van der Aalst
Process mining provides ways to analyze business processes. Common process mining techniques consider the process as a whole. However, in real-life business processes, different behaviors exist that make the overall process too complex to interpret. Process comparison is a branch of process mining that isolates different behaviors of the process from each other by using process cubes. Process cubes organize event data using different dimensions. Each cell contains a set of events that can be used as an input to apply process mining techniques. Existing work on process cubes assume single case notions. However, in real processes, several case notions (e.g., order, item, package, etc.) are intertwined. Object-centric process mining is a new branch of process mining addressing multiple case notions in a process. To make a bridge between object-centric process mining and process comparison, we propose a process cube framework, which supports process cube operations such as slice and dice on object-centric event logs. To facilitate the comparison, the framework is integrated with several object-centric process discovery approaches.

7 Optimizing Electrospinning Parameters for Finest Diameter of Nano Fibers
Authors: M. Maleki, M. Latifi, M. Amani-Tehran
Nano fibers produced by electrospinning are of industrial and scientific attention due to their special characteristics such as long length, small diameter and high surface area. Applications of electrospun structures in nanotechnology are included tissue scaffolds, fibers for drug delivery, composite reinforcement, chemical sensing, enzyme immobilization, membrane-based filtration, protective clothing, catalysis, solar cells, electronic devices and others. Many polymer and ceramic precursor nano fibers have been successfully electrospun with diameters in the range from 1 nm to several microns. The process is complex so that fiber diameter is influenced by various material, design and operating parameters. The objective of this work is to apply genetic algorithm on the parameters of electrospinning which have the most significant effect on the nano fiber diameter to determine the optimum parameter values before doing experimental set up. Effective factors including initial polymer concentration, initial jet radius, electrical potential, relaxation time, initial elongation, viscosity and distance between nozzle and collector are considered to determine finest diameter which is selected by user.
Keywords: Electrospinning, genetic algorithm, nano fiber diameter, optimization.
6 Types of Epilepsies and Findings EEG- LORETA about Epilepsy
Authors: Leila Maleki, Ahmad Esmali Kooraneh, Hossein Taghi Derakhshi
Neural activity in the human brain starts from the early stages of prenatal development. This activity or signals generated by the brain are electrical in nature and represent not only the brain function but also the status of the whole body. At the present moment, three methods can record functional and physiological changes within the brain with high temporal resolution of neuronal interactions at the network level: the electroencephalogram (EEG), the magnet oencephalogram (MEG), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI); each of these has advantages and shortcomings. EEG recording with a large number of electrodes is now feasible in clinical practice. Multichannel EEG recorded from the scalp surface provides very valuable but indirect information about the source distribution. However, deep electrode measurements yield more reliable information about the source locations intracranial recordings and scalp EEG are used with the source imaging techniques to determine the locations and strengths of the epileptic activity. As a source localization method, Low Resolution Electro-Magnetic Tomography (LORETA) is solved for the realistic geometry based on both forward methods, the Boundary Element Method (BEM) and the Finite Difference Method (FDM). In this paper, we review the findings EEG- LORETA about epilepsy.
Keywords: Epilepsy, EEG, EEG- Loreta, loreta analysis.
5 Fretting Fatigue behavior of Bolted Single Lap Joints of Aluminum Alloys
Authors: Hadi Rezghi Maleki, Babak Abazadeh
In this paper, the effect of bolt clamping force on the fatigue behavior of bolted single lap joints of aluminum alloy 2024- T3 have been studied using numerical finite element method. To do so, a three dimensional model according to the bolted single lap joint has been created and numerical analysis has been carried out using finite element based package. Then the stress distribution and also the slip amplitudes have been calculated in the critical regions and the outcome have been compared with the available experimental fatigue tests results. The numerical results show that in low applied clamping force, the fatigue failure of the specimens occur around the stress concentration location (the bolted hole edge) due to the tensile stresses and thus fatigue crack propagation, but with increase of the clamping force, the fatigue life increases and the cracks nucleate and propagate far from the hole edge because of fretting fatigue. In other words, with the further increase of clamping force value of the joint, the fatigue life reduces due to occurrence of the fretting fatigue in the critical location where the slip amplitude is within its critical occurs earlier.
Keywords: Fretting fatigue, bolted single lap joint, torque tightening, finite element method.
4 Effect of Supplemental Irrigation, Nitrogen Chemical Fertilizer, and Inoculation with Rhizobium Bacteria on Grain Yield and Its Components of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Under Rainfed Conditions
Authors: Abbas Maleki, Maryam Pournajaf, Rahim Naseri, Reza Rashnavadi
In order to study the effects of supplemental irrigation, different levels of nitrogen chemical fertilizer and inoculation with rhizobium bacteria on the grain yield of chickpea, an experiment was carried out using split plot arrangement in randomize complete block design with three replication in agricultural researches station of Zanjan, Iran during 2009-2010 cropping season. The factors of experiment consisted of irritation (without irrigation (I1), irrigation at flowering stage (I2), irrigation at flowering and grain filling stages (I3) and full irrigation (I4)) and different levels of nitrogen fertilizer (without using of nitrogen fertilizer (N0), 75 kg.ha-1 (N75), 150 kg.ha-1 (N150) and inoculation with rhizobium bacteria (N4). The results of the analysis of variance showed that the effects of irrigation, nitrogen fertilizer levels and bacterial inoculation, were significant affect on number of pods per plant, number grains per plant, grain weight, grain yield, biological yield and harvest index at 1% probability level. Also Results showed that the grain yield in full irrigation treatment and inoculated with rhizobium bacteria was significantly higher than the other treatments.
Keywords: Chickpea, Nitrogen, Supplemental irrigation.
3 The Co-application of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria and Inoculation with Rhizobium Bacteria on Grain Yield and Its Components of Mungbean (Vigna radiate L.) in Ilam Province, Iran
Authors: Abdollah Hosseini, Abbas Maleki, Khalil Fasihi, Rahim Naseri
In order to investigate the effect of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) and rhizobium bacteria on grain yield and some agronomic traits of mungbean (Vigna radiate L.), an experiment was carried out based on randomized complete block design with three replications in Malekshahi, Ilam province, Iran during 2012-2013 cropping season. Experimental treatments consisted of control treatment, inoculation with rhizobium bacteria, rhizobium bacteria and Azotobacter, rhizobium bacteria and Azospirillum, rhizobium bacteria and Pseudomonas, rhizobium bacteria, Azotobacter and Azospirillum, rhizobium bacteria, Azotobacter and Pseudomonas, rhizobium bacteria, Azospirillum and Pseudomonas and rhizobium bacteria, Azotobacter, Azospirillum and Pseudomonas. The results showed that the effect of PGPR and rhizobium bacteria were significant affect on grain and its components in mungbean plant. Grain yield significantly increased by PGPR and rhizobium bacteria, so that the maximum grain yield was obtained from rhizobium bacteria + Azospirillum + Pseudomonas with the amount of 2287 kg.ha-1 as compared to control treatment. Excessive application of chemical fertilizers causes environmental and economic problems. That is, the overfertilization of P and N leads to pollution due to soil erosion and runoff water, so the use of PGPR and rhizobium bacteria can be justified due to reduce input costs, increase in grain yield and environmental friendly.
Keywords: Azotobacter, Mungbean, Pseudomonas, Rhizobium bacteria.
2 Effect of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) and Planting Pattern on Yield and Its Components of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) in Ilam Province, Iran
Authors: Ali Rahmani, Abbas Maleki, Mohammad Mirzaeiheydari, Rahim Naseri
Most parts of the world such as Iran are facing the excessive consumption of fertilizers, that are used to achieve high yield, but increase the cost of production of fertilizer and degradation of soil and water resources. This experiment was carried out to study the effect of PGPR and planting pattern on yield and yield components of rice (Oryza sativa L.) using split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications in Ilam province, Iran. Bio-fertilizer including Azotobacter, Nitroxin and control treatment (without consumption) were designed as a main plot and planting pattern including 15 × 10, 15 × 15 and 15 × 20 and the number of plant in hill including 3, 4 and 5 plants in hill were considered as a sub-plots. The results showed that the effect of bio-fertilizers, planting pattern and the number of plants in hill were significant affect on yield and yield components. Interaction effect between bio-fertilizer and planting pattern had important difference on the number spikelet of panicle and harvest index. Interaction effect between bio-fertilizer and the number of plants in hill were significant affect on the number of spikelet per panicle. The maximum grain yield was obtained by inoculation with Nitroxin, planting pattern of 15 × 15 and 4 plants in hill with mean of 1110.6 g.m-2, 959.9 g.m-2 and 928.4 g.m-2, respectively.
Keywords: Bio-fertilizer, Grain yield, Planting pattern, Rice.
1 Designing an Adventure: University of Southern California's Experiment in Using Alternate Reality Games to Educate Students and Inspire Change
Authors: Anahita Dalmia
There has been a recent rise in 'audience-centric' and immersive storytelling. This indicates audiences are gaining interest in experiencing real adventure with everything that encompasses the struggle, the new friendships, skill development, and growth. This paper examines two themed alternate reality games created by a group of students at the University of Southern California as an experiment in how to design an adventure and to evaluate its impact on participants. The experiences combined immersive improvisational theatre and live-action roleplaying to create socially aware experiences within the timespan of four hours, using Harry Potter and mythology as themes. In each experiment, over 500 players simultaneously embarked on quests -a series of challenges including puzzle-solving, scavenger-hunting, and character interactions- to join a narrative faction. While playing, the participants were asked to choose faction alignments based on the characters they interacted with, as well as their own backgrounds and moral values. During the narrative finale, the impact of their individual choices on the larger story and game were revealed. After the conclusion of each experience, participants filled out questionnaires and were interviewed. Through this, it was discovered that participants developed transferable problem-solving, team-work, and persuasion skills. They also learned about the theme of the experience and reflected on their own moral values and judgment-making abilities after they realized the consequences of their actions in the game-world, inspiring some participants to make changes outside of it. This reveals that alternative reality games can lead to socialization, educational development, and real-world change in a variety of contexts when implemented correctly. This experiment has begun to discover the value of alternate reality games in a real-world context and to develop a reproducible format to continue to create such an impact.
Keywords: Adventure, alternate reality games, education, immersive entertainment, interactive entertainment.

Operating low on oxygen, emergency staff in Los Angeles County are advised to manage the minimal essential.
California's each day coronavirus case tallies stay round 4 instances what they have been through the state's summer season surge, and officers predict that the aftereffects of a December surge linked to vacation gatherings will worsen because the winter drags on.
After new infections — pushed by Thanksgiving journey and gatherings, then Christmas festivities — resulted in a surge in contrast to any the state had but seen, the trajectory of its new circumstances has leveled off considerably within the early days of 2021.
However there are greater than twice as many Covid-19 sufferers in California hospitals now as there have been a month in the past, and plenty of intensive care models within the state have been overflowing. No less than six individuals within the state have additionally been discovered to be contaminated with the brand new, extra transmissible variant of the virus first recognized in Britain.
The state can be going through an oxygen scarcity for sufferers, and it has deployed the U.S. Military Corps of Engineers and the California Emergency Medical Providers Authority to assist ship and refill oxygen tanks.
In an indication of how dire that scarcity is, Marianne Gausche-Hill, the medical director for Los Angeles County's E.M.S. company, issued tips to emergency staff on Sunday for administering the "minimal quantity of oxygen essential" to maintain sufferers' oxygen saturation degree at or simply above 90 %. (A degree within the low 90s or beneath is a priority for individuals with Covid-19.)
Within the pandemic's brutal logic, extra circumstances inevitably interprets to extra struggling and deaths. As of Monday night time, four,258 individuals with Covid-19 had died within the previous two weeks, in contrast with three,043 within the two weeks earlier than that.
Jan. 5, 2021, 5:24 p.m. ET
"This can be a lethal illness, it is a lethal pandemic," Gov. Gavin Newsom advised reporters on Monday. "It stays extra lethal at present than at any level within the historical past of the pandemic."
There was some progress. California's each day common of 38,086 circumstances per day over the previous week represents a lower of 11 % from the common two weeks earlier, for instance. And though Covid-19 hospitalizations have elevated by 18 % over the previous two weeks, to 20,618, Governor Newsom mentioned that represents a slight flattening of the curve.
However the state's final main Covid-19 surge, over the summer season, solely produced round 10,000 infections on its worst days. And in Los Angeles County, the newest disaster has stretched the well being care system so skinny that incoming sufferers at one hospital have been lately being instructed to attend in an outside tent.
Mayor Eric Garcetti of Los Angeles mentioned on Sunday that the county's newest surge was infecting a brand new individual each six seconds, and that many transmissions have been occurring in non-public settings.
"It's a message for all of America: We would not all have the identical density as L.A., however what's taking place in L.A. can and will likely be coming in lots of communities in America," he mentioned.
The worst of the state's outbreak is concentrated in Southern California and the San Joaquin Valley, the place intensive care models are at zero % capability. Officers are actually working to herald further nursing employees to take care of the flood of sufferers; Governor Newsom mentioned that 90 sufferers have been being saved at "alternate care websites" outdoors hospitals to assist ease the burden.
Extra inoculations would assist ease California's burden, however Governor Newsom mentioned vaccinations have been solely simply ramping up after going through some early challenges. To date, he mentioned, the state has solely administered about 35 % of the coronavirus vaccine doses it has obtained.
"That's not adequate," he mentioned. "We acknowledge that."
Within the meantime, mentioned Dr. Mark Ghaly, the state's secretary of well being and human providers, Californians ought to be further cautious about gathering with individuals outdoors their family now that the virus is so prevalent.
"The identical actions that you just did a month in the past, at present are simply a lot extra dangerous than they have been from a Covid transmission perspective," he mentioned.

When I saw the preview of this game, I thought that it will be like Fatal Frame.
After spending 8GB from my data plan and almost 3 hours playing it, I'm extremely disappointed.
I have to say that the graphics are amazing. They spend a lot of time with them. The concept was original. But they didn't use it well. Wanting to know what in the world happened in this town opens your curiosity to keep playing. But after walking around without any sense is sad and extremely boring.
The control doesn't help much. Especially when you get in front of those light balls.
It's frustrating. One of them took me almost 30 minutes to activate one.
An automatic saving system was not good because, the gray dot is so small that you never know when they're saving. A save point would be better.
It's sad to play a game with some much unused potential. I have mixed feelings about this game. But if you're not sure about this game, don't let the curiosity make you waste your time, gigabytes and money.

Waialua Athletic Director Opening Up More Sports Teams
Jack Danilewicz
After a long successful run as Kapolei boys soccer head coach, Bryce Kaneshiro is now making his mark at Waialua High School, where he was promoted to the school's athletic director position late in the summer.
"I'm excited," said Kaneshiro, who spent the last six years as an assistant AD at Kapolei High School, in addition to heading up one of the state's most visible soccer programs. "Athletics has always been a big part of my life. I've always loved the fact that the lessons you learn through athletics are an extension of the classroom.
"I want to create opportunities for all students and get them involved."
Among his early projects since taking over has been creating junior varsity programs for girls softball and boys baseball, in addition to returning girls varsity basketball to the fold.
The Bulldogs had been without varsity basketball the last couple of years because of a lack of interest, but that changed in recent months with renewed interest in the sport. Kaneshiro has hired Michael Moon as head basketball coach.
Waialua has enjoyed success in both softball and baseball in recent years at the varsity level, so the new JV programs should strengthen what already are solid programs.
For his part, Kaneshiro left behind a stellar boys soccer program at Kapolei. "I'll miss coaching, but I'll still be following them," he said. But his promotion to the AD's job at Waialua was an offer he couldn't refuse.
"When I attended my first athletic directors conference (while an assistant AD at Kapolei), I knew right then that this was a job I wanted, and that I wanted to be an athletic director someday," he said.
Kaneshiro is a 1990 graduate of Aiea High School, where he competed in both soccer and baseball. His experience as a student-athlete also had a profound impact on his future.
"When I look back on my high school years, the things I treasure the most are the teams I belonged to in baseball and soccer. The friendships that you make, and the work that's involved, are things that are really valuable. A lot of my teammates are close friends today, as well as some of the people I competed against from other schools. Those connections are what make athletics memorable."
Among his goals at Waialua is to increase participation among the students. Some Bulldog teams have gotten a late jump on their respective seasons.
"When I first arrived at football practice, we had only 12 kids at our summer (workouts)," he said. "By that time at Kapolei, we usually already had a lot (practicing day to day). A lot of it (low numbers) goes back to the kids not knowing when to start showing up. Athletics is a commitment, and it's all about putting in the effort. We have to start at the same time as all of the other teams (at rival schools)."
As Kapolei's first-and-only head boys soccer coach, Kaneshiro led the Hurricanes to three Division I state tournament appearances in the last four years in addition to OIA titles in both 2007 and 2011.
At Waialua High, Kaneshiro succeeds Sharon Yoshimura, who retired from the Department of Education last year.

Abigail Adams to Lucy Cranch, 5 May 1785
Abigail Adams to Lucy Cranch
May 7 [5] 1<8>785 Auteuil1
I presume my dear Lucy would be dissapointed if her cousin does not deliver her a line from her Aunt. Yet it is hardly fair to take up an exhausted pen to address a young Lady whose eager serch after knowledge entitles her to every communication in my power.
I was in hopes to have visited several curiosities before your cousin left us; that I might have been able to have related them to my friends; but several engagements in the company way, and some preparation for his voyage; together with the necessary arrangements for our own journey; have so fully occupied me that I fear I shall fail in my intentions. We are to dine to day with Mr. Jefferson. Should any thing occur there worthy of notice it shall be the subject of my Evening pen.
Well my dear Neice I have returnd from Mr. Jeffersons;2 when I got there I found a pretty large company: it consisted of the Marquis and Madam de la Fayette, the Count and Countess Douradou,3 a French Count who had been a General in America, but whose name I forget; Commodore Jones, Mr. Jarvis4 an American Gentleman lately arrived, the same who married Amelia Broom, who says there is so strong a likeness between your cousin, and his Lady that he is obliged to be upon his gaurd least he should think himself at Home and make some mistake. He appears a very sensible agreeable Gentleman. A Mr. Bowdoin,5 an American also. I ask the Chevalier de Luzerns pardon I like to have forgot him. Mr. Williamos of course as he always dines with Mr. Jefferson, and Mr. Short, the one of Mr. Jeffersons family. As he has been absent some time I name him; he took a resolution that he would go into a French family at St. Germains and acquire the language, and this is the only way for a foreigner to obtain it. I have often wisht that I could not hear a word of English spoken. I think I have mentiond Mr. Short before in some of my Letters. He is about the statue of Mr. Tudor a better figure, but much like him in looks and manners. Concequently a favorite of mine. They have some customs very curious here. When company are invited to dine, if 20 Gentlemen meet, they seldom or ever set down, but are standing or walking from one part of the room to the other, with their Swords on and their Chapeau de Bras, which is a very small silk hat, always worn under the Arm. These they lay asside whilst they dine, but reassume them immediately after. I wonder how this fashion of standing crept in, amongst a Nation who realy deserve the appellation of polite; for in winter it shuts out all the fire from the Ladies. I know I have sufferd from it many times. At dinner the Ladies and Gentleman are mixed, and you converse with him, who sets next you, rarely speaking to a person across the table; unless to ask, if they will be served with any thing from your side; conversation is never general as with us; for when the company quit the table, they fall into tete a tetes of two, and two, when the conversation is in a low voice and a stranger unacquainted with the customs of the Country, would think that every body had private buisness to transact.
[6 or 7 May]
Last Evening6 as we returnd, the Weather being very soft, and pleasent, I proposed to your uncle to stop at the Tuiliries and walk the Garden: which we did for an hour: there was as usual a collection of four or 5 thousand persons in the Walks. This Garden is the most celebrated publick walk in Paris. It is situated just opposite to the River Seine, upon the left hand as you enter Paris from Auteuil. Suppose that upon Boston Neck one side flows the River Seine and on the other hand the Garden of the Tuiliries. There is a high Wall next the street, upon which there is a terace which is used as a winter walk. This Garden has six large Gates by which you may enter. It is adornd with noble rows of Trees straight, large, and tall, which form a most beautifull shade. The populace are not permitted to walk in this Garden, but upon the day of Saint Louis; when they have it all to themselves. Upon one side of this Garden is the Castle de Tuiliries, which is an immence pile of Building, very ancient. It is in one of these Chateaus that the concert spiritual7 is held. Upon the terrace which borders this Chateau, are six Statues and 2 vases. These vases are large circular spots of water, which are conveyed there from the Seine by leaden pipes under ground. Round the great vase which is in the midst of the parterre are four Groups of white Marble; one represents Lucretia, the story I know is familiar to you. The Parissians do well to erect a statue to her, for at this day there are many more Tarquins than Lucretias. She is represented as plunging the dagger into her Bosom in presence of her Husband. There is an other statue Anchises saved from the flames of Troy, by his son Aeneas who is carrying him out upon his shoulders, leading Ascanius his son by his hand. The 3d. is the Rape of Oryth'a [Oreithyia] the daughter of Erectheus king of Athens by Boreas, and the fourth the ravishment of Cybele by Saturn. The two last very pretty ornaments for a publick Garden. At the end of the Great Alley fronting the largest water peice, which is in the form of an octogone, are eight more marble statues. Upon the right is Hannible counting the rings which were taken from the Chevaliers who were kill'd in the battle of Cannes [Cannae]. Two Seasons Spring and Winter are upon the left hand, and a very beautifull figure of Scipio Africanus, near which are the two other Seasons, Summer and Autumn, and a statue of the Empress Agripina. Over against these are four Rivers Collossus represented sleeping, viz. the Seine, the Loire, the Tiber and the Nile. At the end of the two terraces are two figures in Marble mounted upon winged Horses. One is Mercury and the other Fame, who as usual is blowing a Trumpet. In very hot weather the Alleys are waterd. Under the Trees are Seats and chairs which you may hire to set in for a Sou, or two. There are many plots of Grass intersperced.
Thus you see I have scribled you a long Letter. I hope my description will please you. This is my Eleventh Letter and I have yet several others to write. So adieu my dear Lucy and believe me most affectionately Yours
PS. I have sent by your cousin a peice of silk for your sister and you a Gown of which I ask your acceptance. There are 17 yard/2. I would have had a yard half more if I could, but it was all: being 3 quarters wide I believe it will answer.8

RIO DE JANEIRO, June 7 (Xinhua) -- Federal police in Brazil on Tuesday launched an operation to investigate claims of fraud stretching into millions of U.S. dollars, concerning the construction of the Deodoro Sports Complex, one of the main sites for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games in August.
In a press release, the Brazilian federal police stated that 12.5 percent of the 675.7 million reais (193 million U.S. dollars) provided by the Ministry of Sports was thought to be embezzled by construction companies Queiroz Galvao and Grupo OAS, which built the complex.
According to the police, the consortium led by the two companies signed contracts with non-existent firms to hide fictitious payments.
The Deodoro Sports Complex in the north of the city will host the events of canoeing, kayaking, BMX and mountain biking, hockey, shooting, modern pentathlon and rugby sevens.
The investigation into this case began last year but picked up a few weeks ago when judicial authorities froze 128.5 million reais (36.7 million U.S. dollars) that the government was set to pay to the consortium for works carried out at the Complex.

Novavax vax 90% effective at preventing Covid infections
Novavax is also a partner of Pune-based Serum Institute of India. The vaccine NVX-CoV2373 is already being locally manufactured by the company under the brand name Covovax - its vaccine for children aged above 3 years. It will be launched in the next six months, SII CEO Adar Poonawalla has said.
IANS| Published: 17th December 2021 4:56 pm IST
New York: Novavax's Covid-19 vaccine is 90 per cent effective at preventing Covid-19 illness, according to results from a Phase 3 clinical trial.
In addition to being highly effective in preventing Covid illness of any severity, the vaccine was 100 per cent effective in preventing moderate and severe disease that required hospitalisation, revealed the study published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
For the trial, the team from University of Maryland included nearly 30,000 adult volunteers at 113 clinical sites in the US and six sites in Mexico.
Approximately 20,000 participants received two doses of the vaccine spaced three weeks apart and 10,000 received placebos. The trial was conducted during the first few months of 2021, and tested only against Alpha variant, which was the predominant circulating strain.
Most side effects were mild to moderate and transient. Fever was very rare. The most common side effects in the vaccine recipients included pain and tenderness at the injection site, headache, muscle aches and fatigue that lasted a day on average. None of the recipients developed serious reactions like heart inflammation (myocarditis) or blood clots.
"Our study results indicate that this vaccine is highly efficacious and very safe. In addition, this vaccine has many attractive features," said Karen Kotloff, Professor of Paediatrics at the varsity's School of Medicine.
"It is made from a small piece of protein, like many currently licensed vaccines in the US and has convenient refrigerator storage requirements, so it will be an important addition to the Covid-19 vaccine portfolio, in the US and in countries where supply is lacking," Kotloff added.
Novavax is also a partner of Pune-based Serum Institute of India. The vaccine NVX-CoV2373 is already being locally manufactured by the company under the brand name Covovax – its vaccine for children aged above 3 years. It will be launched in the next six months, SII CEO Adar Poonawalla has said.
Covavax is currently under trial and has shown excellent results down to the age of 3 years, Poonawalla said.

Janet Jackson loves that women have got 'comfortable in their own skin'
Janet Jackson on body positivit credit:Bang Showbiz
Janet Jackson "loves" that women have "got comfortable" with their size in modern times.
The 55-year-old pop icon spoke out about positivity and "loves" that that she no longer feels a pressure to be thin like she did "back in the day."
She said: "Women have gotten comfortable in their skin, in their size, in being full-figured and I love that, as opposed to back in the day. You had to always be thin and always look a certain way. And now it's all accepted and it is all beautiful and I absolutely love that."
The 'All For You' hitmaker - who shot to fame as a child alongside her brothers as part of The Jacksons and has since gone on to sell 100 million records world wide - opened up about her "tomboy" nature when she was growing up, noting that she would always prefer to wear "a suit or a bow tie."
She told Allure Magazine: ""I was never a girly girl. I was always a tomboy. So it was always about pants, suits, even as an early teenager. I remember when my brothers got their star on the Walk of Fame and other awards they got, and I look back on pictures and I always had on a suit with a tie, a bow tie, or suspenders. Always loving black and never wanting to expose any part of my body, I felt most comfortable to cover it up to here.
"[These days] I'm embracing me and trying to learn to love me for me, my body, all of that. Trying to feel comfortable in embracing that. Throwing myself in the lion's den. Just going for it, wanting to do something different"

'Fitbit For The Face' Monitors Workers' Vital Signs Via Their Masks
Northwestern University engineers have developed a new smart sensor platform for face masks that they are calling a "Fitbit for the face." Dubbed "FaceBit," the lightweight, quarter-sized sensor uses a tiny magnet to attach to any N95, cloth or surgical face mask. Not only can it sense the user's real-time respiration rate, heart rate and mask wear time, it also may be able to replace cumbersome tests by measuring mask fit. All this information is then wirelessly transmitted to a smartphone app,

Real Genius
Teenage geniuses deal with their abilities while developing a laser.
Director: Martha Coolidge
Stars: Val Kilmer, Gabriel Jarret, Michelle Meyrink
Mitch is one of the youngest students ever accepted to a university known for its programs for geniuses. He's partnered up with his roommate, science club legend Chris Knight, on a project to develop a high-powered laser. Together with their hyper-kinetic friends, they employ their intellects in the pursuit of bigger blasts, practical jokes, and a deeper understanding of what real genius is. When their final, functional laser is stolen by their teacher for a military weapon, they decide to get even.

When Hollyfeld sends in a large number of entries to the Frito-Lay contest, he is mirroring the actions of Caltech students Steve Klein, Dave Novikoff and Barry Megdal, who, in 1974, used a similar strategy to win a McDonald's sweepstakes. Their entries came to roughly 1/5th of the total entries and won them a station wagon, $3,000 cash and $1,500 in food gift certificates.
Plot holes: When the students are trying to break into the military computer, Laslo comments, "Oh, we'll get in; it's just going to take six hours." A six letter string using only the 26 letters of the alphabet (and no numbers or case changes) has approximately 308.9 million possible combinations. There are about 31 million seconds in one year. That means that trying every combination once every five seconds would give Laslo the chance to try about 6.3 million combinations per year. Given that there are 300 million possible combinations, it would take approximately 47 years for Laslo to try every possible combination.
Chris Knight: Jerry, if you think that by threatening me you can get me to be your slave... Well, that's where you're right. But - and I am only saying this because I care - there are a lot of decaffeinated brands on the market today that are just as tasty as the real thing.
Professor Hathaway: I'm not kidding Chris.
Chris Knight: Neither am I Jerry.
More than just a guilty pleasure of a movie . . .
Siskel and Ebert once ran a special show entitled "Movies I'm Embarrassed to Admit I Liked." I suppose that if I composed such a list of guilty pleasures, this one would be one of them . . . but upon reflection, it's really a lot better than that. Fifteen year-old science prodigy Mitch (Gabe Jarret) is recruited by ambitious college professor Jerry Hathaway (William Atherton, in yet another of his patented roles as a loathsome character) to work on the professor's prize laser project, not knowing that Hathaway is really developing a government weapon. Along the way, Mitch is mentored by Chris (Val Kilmer), another prodigy a few years his senior who teaches Mitch how to loosen up.
This could have degenerated into nothing more than just another teen revenge comedy, but there's so much more: the dialogue is laced with sharp wit; there are some lovely scenes that have nothing to do with the story yet are carefully set up, almost as blackouts (e.g., Mitch goes to a lecture at which a few students have left tape recorders instead of attending; later, at another lecture there are more tape recorders than students; and, in a final scene, one large tape recorder gives the lecture to a room populated by nothing but other small recorders!); and throw-away scenes that make you want to stop and back up the story to watch again (e.g., Chris off-handedly cutting a slice off a bar of dry ice to make a slug for the coffee machine).
It's also one of the few movies to boast the presence of the memorable Michelle Meyrink -- as Jordan, the "girl-nerd" who made being smart and female something to emulate. And there's Tears for Fears' great song, "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" providing the perfect coda as the closing credits begin to roll . . . . Yes: really now, what's there to be embarrassed about?
