Man accused of stealing $224K from clinic
STEVENS POINT - A former employee of an orthopedic clinic in Stevens Point is accused of stealing almost $225,000 from the business and using the money to buy, among other things, a riding lawnmower, a pool table and a sex toy.
Henry Charles Louis Behrendt, also known as Chase Behrendt, is accused of making numerous purchases for himself using credit cards and checks he had access to in his position at Klasinski Clinic, which is located at 500 Vincent St., according to a criminal complaint.
Behrendt faces 13 counts of theft and 14 counts of fraud, all felonies, in Portage County court.
The clinic began investigating the matter when an administrator was reviewing checks and found emails between Behrendt and his fiancee in which Behrendt admitted to using company credit cards for personal use and arranging kickbacks for himself from supply companies, the complaint said. His job required him to issue checks and use company credit cards to pay bills and order supplies for the clinic.
The suspicious purchases began in December 2013 and seemed to end in October 2014, the complaint said. Behrendt, a 27-year-old whose address is listed in court records as Geneva, Ill., was hired in March 2013 to be the clinic's practice administrator and left his full-time position at the clinic in October 2014.
The administrator investigating the purchases provided a detective with a binder of receipts, invoices and emails detailing the unauthorized credit card purchases made by Behrendt, the complaint said. Those purchases included a home theater, a riding lawnmower, a pool table, a washer and dryer, a vibrator and numerous other items, the complaint said.
The investigation also uncovered discrepancies between the financial records kept by Behrendt and records kept by the clinic's bank, including checks suspected to have been forged, deposited into personal accounts and cashed by Behrendt, the complaint said. The amounts and dates of at least four checks matched deposits made to Behrendt's own checking account, which was reviewed by a detective.
Behrendt also took money by purchasing supplies for the clinic and having suppliers bill a company he created and owned, the complaint said. He would then charge the clinic more for the supplies and keep the difference.
Police searched Behrendt's home Nov. 18, 2015, and found much of the property suspected to have been purchased using the company's money or credit cards, the complaint said.
In an email to his fiancee, later reviewed by a detective, Behrendt wrote: "I don't like to discuss some of these things because of how shady they are. But at the end of the day I'm doing what's best for me and my family and if that means skimming some off the top so be it," the complaint said.
The losses to the clinic totaled $224,734.53, the complaint said.
Behrendt appeared March 16 in Portage County Circuit Court by video from the Winnebago County Jail, according to court records. Behrendt is scheduled to appear again in Portage County on April 11 for a preliminary hearing.
Behrendt is being held on a $10,000 cash bond.

During the week ending on May 2, the number of first-time filers for unemployment benefits dropped to 601,000; that's a decrease of a little more than 5 percent from the previous week's 635,000.
Total unemployment figures did hit a record high 6.35 million this week, according to statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor. But as we told you in Wednesday's "Chin Up in the Downswing," Federal Reserve Chief Ben Bernanke cautioned that even as the economy rebounds, unemployment figures might take a while to catch up.
Some 74 percent of chain stores beat April sales projections, according to statistics published by Investor's Business Daily. April figures got an assist from sales during the Easter holiday. At stores open a year or more, April sales were up 1.5 percent year-on-year, Retail Metrics President Ken Perkins told IBD, which beat analyst estimates of a 0.1 percent bump. Helping to lead the way were teen apparel chains Aeropostale and Buckle, which last month posted y-o-y same-store sales increases of 20 and 18.2 percent, respectively.
Aeropostale and Buckle have been doing a good job of weathering this recession . The March 11 edition of Chin Up mentioned Buckle's 18 percent y-o-y increase in fiscal income during the fourth quarter of 2008 and on March 16, Chin Up featured Aeropostale's 17 percent growth in sales during the fourth quarter of 2008 from the same period a year earlier.
Bernanke was just one of several economists and financiers profiled in Wednesday's Chin Up who predict a foreseeable end to the recession: chief among them were San Francisco Fed Chief Janet Yellen and JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, but others were providing backup.
Supporting his hypothesis are better-than-expected consumer spending figures during the first quarter of this year and signs pointing to improvement in the housing sector. He sees GDP increasing by the end of 2010.

Lynchburg programs adjust class structures to help reduce poverty
By Michael Alachnowicz
Published: Jul. 21, 2020 at 5:21 PM EDT
LYNCHBURG, Va. (WDBJ) - The Life Skills Institute in Lynchburg sits empty - for now.
"Coming up in the very near future, we will offer the hybrid model of Home Essentials," said Contessa Broadus, Life Skills Institute coordinator.
The Life Skills Institute building normally houses classes that teaches home essential skills like cooking and cleaning to those in public housing.
However, because of the pandemic, Broadus says they're not able to reach those they need to.
"Right now, not being able to have these classes, we are being affected because we are not reaching the population that we need to be able to reach," said Broadus.
That program comes in a partnership with Park View Community Mission and others.
It's now set to take on a hybrid model instead of full in-person classes.
"We all know that if you wanna lower the poverty rate, you've got to raise the employ-ability rate," said Earl Larkins, Park View Community Mission spokesperson.
In an effort to do just that, the City of Lynchburg has accepted a grant worth over $100,000.
It goes toward efforts to reduce poverty, which also includes other programs like Career Essentials with HumanKind.
That program is slated to now take on an approach that can utilize online aspects as well.
"People, especially for entry-level or people with barriers to employment, or maybe they have a poor work history, could gain those skills that are going to make them more hire-able," said Keith Cook, HumanKind director of workforce operations.
But for those at the Life Skills Institute, getting back in some form means helping those who need it most.
"We can offer these classes to the individuals who need them in order to help the city with the homelessness and to keep people in their homes."

I am on the road in my RV! My very first solo trip. I left my daughter's near Raleigh, N.C., heading up into Virginia to traverse the Skyline Drive of Shenandoah National Park (Yes, I got my lifetime National Parks pass, too!). Along the way I have been visiting friends and family. I have gone to the Andrew Wyeth museum for an important retrospective, seen an amazing factual movie on Monarch butterflies, had great discussions and followed the progress of Hurricane Harvey.
And, on Monday, I went to see Niagara Falls. For the first time. My parents honeymooned there, so I have wanted to see the Falls in person since I was very, very young. The tour company cancelled my tour as I was driving to Niagara. Fortunately, I had to go on a longer trip, which took in both the American and Canadian sides of the Falls. It took most of the day. There were 21 people on our bus, of every description, age and nationality. It turned out that all of us looked after each other, shared our amazement, swapped pictures and e-mail addresses, and worked as a team when we all got confused about where we were to meet Josh, our tour leader! As it ended, when each party disembarked at their hotel, the rest of us chorused a "good-bye" and thanked them for sharing our day.
Perhaps this has happened for you. Perhaps not. When it happened in my life, I began looking for the reasons "why." I can only speak for myself, so I will tell you what I have concluded: I exuded love all day and it came back to me in copious quantities.
It started in a Home Depot parking lot early in the day when I connected with two friends who were spending their vacation time together after having gone different ways after college. Connie now works in the SF Bay area as an auditor. Her friend, Jane, is a master's degree student at Columbia University. Jane's family lives in Shanghai. She has been in the U.S. for several years. She also works with numbers (not my thing)! As we waited for our ride, we got to know each other. Throughout the day, we moved in and out of viewing the sights in each other's company.
Also during the day, Nancy and Rene were coping with his two back surgeries and Nancy's recent hip surgery. Rene was using a fold-up walker, much like the one my husband, Bob, had during his five-year illness. They had to move this walker onto and off of the bus every time we stopped at a viewing destination. It became my pleasure to move the walker for them, which they appreciated.
Rene had been a long-distance truck driver, whose driving days were ended when he fell on ice in his company's parking lot. He spent quite a bit of time talking about what he can do, including the carpentry as they remodel their kitchen at home. At one point, I told him that, as far as I was concerned, he did not have to push himself so hard on the tour, moving fast even though it would put him in pain for the next day. I told him people would be okay to go a little slower, realizing that he pays a price for pushing himself. Rene did not want to hold anybody back. Loud and gruff, he nonetheless was thinking about the impact he would have on others.
Tom and Kathlene and their granddaughter, MJ, were quiet but observant. Another man, tall and stately and with very long hair, worked to help the group when we were not sure where to meet our tour guide. I did not get his name. He took quick action, and walked back through the exhibit with the help of a guard. Others helped each other get group photos. In very simple ways, we just looked after ourselves and one another. And we shared the power of the water and the beauty of the falls.
The Principle is this: What you have inside of you, you tend to attract from outside of you!
I know that I was loving myself and allowing myself to love those around me.
One of the key characteristics of love is RESPECT, the demonstrated ability to accept others just as they are. I was interested in talking with people that day, so I respected myself by allowing myself to move through the group, talk with people and find out more about them (that is one of the skills of Love, too, being interested to find out more about others), and share the experience with people who were strangers to me yesterday. I loved myself by allowing myself to follow my own heart—and it allowed others to open their hearts to me.
Connie and Jane and I exchanged phone numbers when we were figuring out where to meet our tour guide. They took advantage of having my number to send me pictures of the authentic Chinese meal they had in Toronto later that night.
My day was filled with love. I believe that was because I was filled with love. Clearly, many of the people on my tour had love in them too. That's what we shared, all day.

The pre-show red carpet coverage will stream exclusively on Twitter.
The 25th Billboard Music Awards will take place on 21 May at 8 pm ET/5pm PT at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. As in the past three years, this year too, the event will be hosted by rapper-actor Ludacris. Vanessa Hudgens will join the rapper as co-host.
In one of the biggest nights for popular music, the event will see the who's who of the industry attempting to shine as much on the red carpet as on the stage.
For live coverage of the show, tune into ABC at 8pm ET and click here to watch the event via ABC GO. Catch the red-carpet action in a two-hour pre-show which will steam exclusively on Twitter on from 6pm ET/3pm PT at BBMAs.twitter.com or via @BBMAs.
Unlike the Grammys, the BBMAs are less formal, allowing celebrities to really show off their fun fashion side on the red carpet.
Hudgens will host the show for first time, and while she is sure to have stage jitters, the singer/actress is more than eager to put on a great show alongside Ludacris. "I think I might give him a little more energy than what he's used to, but we'll just have to wait and see, Hudgens told Billboard magazine. "I think it's going to be a lot of fun."
This year, all eyes are going to be on the awards' biggest nominees. The Chainsmokers and Drake scored 22 nominations and will be competing for the all-time record for an artist in a single year. Adele currently holds the record for most wins at a single BBMA but if either the EDM duo or the hip-hop star bag more than 12 awards, they could rewrite Billboard history.
Twenty One Pilots is also up there at the top with 17 nominations while and Rihanna has 14 nominations for her work.
Awards aside, there are a number of performances that should not be missed. Miley Cyrus will perform her new single Malibu at the event, as it will be interesting to see what the singer's reinvented style is like.
Other artists scheduled to take to the main stage include Nicki Minaj, Drake, Celine Dion, and Camila Cabello.


Jeanne Washburn started her career defending car accident cases for the insurance companies.After several years, she decided that her calling was to help people who were injured in car wrecks.Since starting her own practice in 1999, she has helped people who were injured from the negligence of another driver for all types of injuries including neck and back pain, shoulder pain, knee pain,broken bones, head injuries, paraplegia and even death. She has helped people in Wake, Nash, Lee,Wilson, Cumberland, Orange, Harnett, and Durham get the compensation that they deserve.
If you have been injured in an car accident that is not your fault, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, permanent impairment scarring, andother things as well.
However, the claims' process is complicated. The insurance company for the other driver has attorneys working for it every step of the way. You do not have to go it alone. This law firm represents workers compensation clients on a contingency fee basis meaning the lawyer does not get paid for her time unless you recover.
At the Law Office of Jeanne H. Washburn, we know that there is no case more important that yours. Don't wonder about your rights. Call today for answers to your questions about car wrecks.

This week I had a day (plus a half day) off, so Angela and I sneaked away to the desert for a quick trip to see one of America's best examples of large-scale folk art– Salvation Mountain.
Seeing Salvation Mountain in person was very moving. I spent a lot of time thinking about the man who built it and his devotion to spreading The Gospel. For twenty years he labored out in the heat (it was 104° when we were there) first building, then maintaining and expanding this "mountain," every inch packed with the message "God is Love" and important Bible verses. I compared this to other religious monuments I've seen… The Vatican, cathedrals like Notre Dame, Chartres, and Sacré Coeur in particular came to mind, as well as the Ali Ben Yousef Madrassa in Marrakech. Here in America we have not kept up the tradition of great religious monuments (for a variety of reasons–too many to discuss here), so seeing something like this that totally doesn't fit in with the old tradition was very powerful… Even more so considering its ephemeral nature. Without diligent upkeep, the sun, heat, and desert winds can and will reduce this shrine to only a memory that lives on through photos and stories shared by those who made the trip to visit.
Angela and I were greeted by two men representing a group that exists to continue the work of Leonard Knight now that he is in a home due to age and health. I overheard them reminiscing about the time when Leonard still lived at the mountain–it was said that he greeted each visitor personally and made a connection with them, sharing his story and often sending them home with a trinket to remember the experience. It is only fitting that a shrine-like dome built under the mountain was filled with trinkets from visitors (instant photos, ID cards, candles, etc) to commemorate their trip out to the desert.
Adjacent to Salvation Mountain is Slab City, where a collection of hippies, nomads, and other unique individuals live. Some make this area their home full-time, others visit seasonally, and yet others are simply passing through. During the summer the population dwindles as not everyone can endure 100°+ days. This community is featured prominently in the book and film Into The Wild. I liked looking around, but we didn't linger because I didn't like the idea of violating anyone's privacy.
After Slab City, we headed north a little more until we reached the Salton Sea. The area we found appeared as if at one time it had been a boating ramp with camping stations around it, but now the buildings have collapsed, the ramp is a memory, and the water stagnant. Instead of sand, we walked on the strangest ground made up of crushed fish bones. The Border Control officer we encountered was puzzled as to why we were visiting there. I was a little, too. It was kind of creepy! We took a lot of photos then headed to our hotel and dinner.
The next morning we headed back since I had to be at work after lunch. The trip overall was very brief but unlike one I have ever taken before! The desert is such a haunting, isolated place.
Most photos by me, with a select few by Angela.
I love this place! I feel like, regardless of any religious affiliation, Salvation Mountain looks like such a lovely and uplifting place to be. And in the middle of a desert? That's dedication. So often in Kansas we see signs (mostly on the highway) about the love of God but it's always so conditional. I think outside of Emporia there's a sign that says, "Believe in the Lord, Jesus Christ! Or regret it forever." Yikes!!
This is a whole mountain of unconditional love and on top of that, it's gorgeous. Thanks so much for going on this trip and telling us about it.
My pleasure! Yes, It was beautiful and uplifting. I think a non-religious person can appreciate it as "folk art" or "outsider art" but there is a whole other level of appreciation a religious person can perceive seeing this life's work to show the artist's appreciation of God's love.


The former City of Northcote electrical substation in Pender Street, Thornbury is a cream and manganese brick pavilion in the Moderne style. The building is situated on the axis of Pender Street, west of Archibold Street, and closes the vista along the street. The substation has a raised central section, which has a small hipped roof and sides clad in weatherboards. The east elevation, which faces down Pender Street has a circular insignia with what is most probably the former City of Northcote emblem. Below this, recessed into the wall, is a drinking fountain.
The landscaping and paving in the forecourt are not significant.

Throwing Out My CDs by Ben Rimalower: SWEET CHARITY
by Ben Rimalower - Apr 12, 2019
Like the rest of you, I've spent this week obsessing over 'Fosse Verdon' on FX and especially Gwen Verdon, played brilliantly on the series by Michelle Williams, in a performance that makes you want to reinvestigate what made Gwen so great. Sweet Charity is the perfect place to start. Gwen became a star and won her first Tony in a featured role in Can Can and she gained worldwide acclaim (and number 2 in a total of four Tonys) as Lola in Damn Yankees on stage and screen and of course there were many other shows and movies and TV appearances, but Sweet Charity was the show Bob Fosse (and Cy Coleman and Dorothy Fields and Neil Simon) created just for her. She may have lost the Tony to Angela Lansbury in Mame, but Gwen got that iconic poster and all those songs.

False Charges, a Short Story by D.I. Telbat
Dear Friends, while working on my new novel, Tears in the Wind, I came across some recent news on Christian persecution inside Sudan. The situation is terrible, and has been for many years. Let's remain sensitive to the needs in this difficult place, and pray for strength for those who are faithful in their profession of Jesus Christ as their Savior in this dark land. Even there, where Christ is held close by a desperate few, God still moves powerfully. "False Charges, a short story" gives an example of how God has moved where the faithful endure.—David Telbat
False Charges
Akim al-Bashir walked slowly through the abandoned house of a family he knew to be Christian. In Sudan, they were called Nazarenes, after Jesus of Nazareth. As a special agent for the government, Akim had learned as much as he could about the Nazarenes—those who committed apostasy against Allah and Muhammad on a daily basis. Anyone in Sudan who converted to the Nazarene's faith was punishable with death according to Islamic law.
He thumbed through the pages of a notebook he'd picked up in one of the bedrooms. Someone had taken notes of Bible verses, as if for teaching purposes. Yes, when caught, these Nazarenes would suffer terribly as they died. These people weren't just believers in Jesus; they were teachers!
In a closet, Akim discovered a false wall panel. After removing the panel, he found the hidden space empty, but large enough to hold perhaps fifty Bibles. So, he had to assume there were fifty Bibles somewhere out there, scattered across this village and in the next city, all under his jurisdiction.
A police sergeant and three officers waited in the living room for his assessment of the missing occupants, and Akim's orders.
"What will the charges be?" the sergeant asked.
Under such crimes, Akim was given complete discretion. But religious crimes and their accompanying charges required extreme caution. After all, the government didn't want to create martyrs. That was why Akim was often called in. The right false charges, though believable, needed to be fabricated and filed. Under false charges of child perversion or sadistic violence, the accused party was often alienated by other Nazarenes, bringing universal condemnation. Thereafter, catching the Bible teachers was often immediate. Then, no one cared how badly the government treated the Nazarenes.
Using false charges, Akim had nearly wiped out the Nazarene population in several villages. It had taken ten years, but he had succeeded.
Except, Akim was struggling with this situation. His teenage daughter had been accosted at school a week earlier. The one who had come to her aid was the teenage son of the family in whose house he now stood. A Nazarene had saved the honor of his daughter. Did he owe the Nazarenes now? Not necessarily, but it did make him hesitate with the false charges.
The Muslim population didn't help people known to be Nazarenes, but the Nazarenes were helping Muslims. This wasn't the first occurrence, but it was the first time Akim had benefited from the Nazarenes' love—his own daughter and his family had benefited.
"The Special Branch will handle this investigation," Akim told the sergeant, referring to his own department. "There are confidential elements to this case I cannot disclose. I'll deal with it myself."
"But the family could flee to the Nuba Mountains unless we do something tonight. We need to act now!"
"Do not tell me what to do, Sergeant!" Akim shouted. "Remember to whom you speak, and the power of my position. Leave this house, and speak to no one about this family, or I'll have you brought up on charges yourself. Is that understood?"
The sergeant saluted, then snapped an order to his men, and they all left.
Not long behind them, Akim exited the house, the notebook under his arm. He realized his decision not to pursue the Nazarenes would be reported, and it would be the unraveling of his favored law enforcement position. But it couldn't be helped. The kindness of the Nazarenes had turned his heart. Now, he hoped there was enough in the notebook to teach him about the God who came as a Man and taught such kindness.
As he climbed into his car, Akim cursed and looked in the mirror at his reflection. If he became a Nazarene, then he would be the hunted instead of the hunter. But if the Nazarenes possessed the True Way, then he couldn't remain in the old way. Perhaps this Jesus really was the answer all along.
He drove away from the teacher's house, imagining what questions he would ask a Nazarene if only he could find one. He had to know more about this Jesus!

Every man or woman wanting to work but unable to find a job represents a human tragedy.
In my constituency surgeries over the years I've seen first-hand how utterly demoralising that experience is for people. Unemployment can mean not just a loss of income but of independence and self-respect too. So it's good news that joblessness in the Aylesbury constituency is now down to fewer than 700 people, or just over 1 % of the working age population. Nor is it true that this trend is simply down to low-skilled and part-time work. Full-time jobs accounted for 95% of the national rise in employment over the last year and two-thirds of the rise in employment since 2010 has been in higher-skilled occupations. But when I look at what's now happening in the world – at the rise of Asian and Latin American economies and the impact of digital technology on established ways of doing business – I see we can't afford to relax.
Thomas Hickman, Turnfurlong, Aylesbury College and Bucks UTC and I've been heartened by their relentless commitment to high standards and high expectations.
Our county and district councils have joined forces with local business, colleges and training providers to develop the "Going for Gold" scheme to showcase best practice and quality in apprenticeships to encourage more local employers to raise their game. The new University Campus Aylesbury Vale now being built next to the Waterside Theatre is a further boost to the town.


Processing your working visa in China? full details of the process below.
Make an appointment with your GP/doctor/hospital or nearest medical practice/hospital for a full medical report. The report must be completed on this sheet (click here to view) with a signature and stamp of your GP/Hospital. Make sure you get them to stamp/seal on it too as only a signature of your GP/Doctor may not be accepted by the labor bureau in China.
→ TIP: There's no need to fully complete the Chest X-Ray/ECG scans (These cost around $200USD/150GBP) as these are done again in China anyway (unless you know there may be a problem with this part of your health). You only need to make sure your doctor marks these sections N/A on the form. The authorities in China do not fully recognize the foreign medical check and it's only used to pre screen candidates to give a preliminary Health OK before candidates make the full trip to China. If you think there may be a problem with your health, make sure you have this fully checked out and cleared before you leave for China.
Prepare your unaltered, clear without any changes BA Degree certificate, you do not need your transcripts or a notary either, an english copy (For other languages your employer will need to translate the BA degree and have an additional document prepared confirming the translation + 3 working days on your application) of your BA Degree or higher qualification, scan it into your computer and that's done. If you've uploaded it to our secure documents application page you don't need to do this step again, we will forward your degree copy to your employer.
→ TIP: If you hold a higher qualification than a BA degree, and that qualification was issued within 2 years of the date you apply for the visa in China, Please send your BA degree only. If you latest qualification was issued within 2 years of your apply date the authorities in China may ask you for proof of 2 years post-graduate work experience (Which must come after the date you last graduated) although backwards, it's going to be far easier to use your BA degree only if you come under this situation.
→ TIP: If your full name on your BA degree does not match your passport exactly e.g. Nick on your BA degree and Nicholas in your passport can cause an issue. You will probably need an additional letter from immigration or your university confirming your name is the same as it is on your BA degree.
Be careful here, your Resume or CV for your working visa is probably going to be different to your usual resume. If you have worked in China without a working visa before, do not write this on your resume. Write you were working in your home country or Hong Kong instead. Make sure the dates from the top (Your most recent employer) Match perfectly down to 5+ years. When you list another employer ensure the dates co-inside without gaps. E.g. Employer 1. Present – Jan 2014 Employer 2, Jan 2014-May 2010. If there were gaps in your employment history you must write (Not working) and the dates making sure these match too.
List your qualifications you are providing certificates for at the top. The authorities will want to see your most recent qualification, if you cannot get certificates of the most recent qualification listed on your resume you should not list it at all. Even if you've already told your employer you have this. Try to keep your education and experience as basic as possible in order to keep your application supporting documents as simple as possible.
If you're applying for a teaching position and your BA is not in an education related field you must complete an online tefl and supply this. Use a clear color scan of this document,no notary or any additional work to be done on this one.
Some employers do this a little differently, although they should all offer you a contract, they may not offer an employment intention letter. If an employment intention letter is offered to you, sign it on each page and make sure you sign it with the same signature in your passport. If you receive an employment contract instead of intention letter sign all pages as well. Scan this back to your employer. An employment intention letter is not legally or contractually binding, the full contract will probably be sent to you and signed at the time of accepting an offer as well.
NOTE: If you do not receive a contract within 1 week of working make sure you ask for this and have the company seal (Red stamp) on the last page.
A Full unaltered copy of this page is required to process your working visa. Ensure your passport has at least 18-months validity on it and at least (2) Blank visa pages.
As of April 1st 2017 China requires a Criminal Background check for all new work visa applications. Criminal background checks are issued by local police stations in your home country, in the USA get a Criminal background check from your local Police station, in the UK apply for a 'Basic disclosure' on this website. Criminal background checks must be legalized by the Chinese embassy in your home country.
Attilio Infante, the owner of Find Work Abroad, has processed over 150x working visas in Guangzhou.

World's thinnest nanowires may lead to foldable tablets, smartphones
Vanderbilt researcher creates nanowires only 3 atoms wide
By Sharon Gaudin
A researcher at Vanderbilt University has created a way to build nanowires just three atoms wide that should help scientists eventually create paper-thin, flexible tablets smartphones.
Junhao Lin, a Vanderbilt doctoral student and visiting scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, created a way to use a finely focused beam of electrons to build what university scientists believe are some of the smallest wires ever made. The tiny metallic wires are one-thousandth the width of the microscopic wires that are used today to connect the transistors in integrated computer circuits.
Researchers at Vanderbilt University and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee have created nanowires, shown in this video taken through an electron microscope, only three atoms wide. (Video: Vanderbilt University)
"It's at the cutting edge of everything," Sokrates Pantelides, Lin's adviser and the university's Distinguished Professor of Physics and Engineering, told Computerworld. "People have obviously made nanowires, but they often might be 50 or 100 nanometers across. We have nanotubes 1 nanometer across. These are 0.4 nanometers. I would expect them to be fragile but they're not at all. They are extremely robust."
Lin made the nanowires using semiconducting materials that naturally form monolayers, which are layers one molecule thick, Pantelides said.
The materials, called transition-metal dichalcogenides, are made by combining the metals molybdenum or tungsten with either sulfur or selenium, according to the university. The best-known member of the family is molybdenum disulfide, a common mineral that is used as a solid lubricant.
Scientists have used transition-metal dichalcogenides to build an atomic-scale honeycomb lattice of atoms that has exhibited a number of important properties, like electricity, strength and heat conduction, Pantelides said.
Researchers have already created functioning transistors and flash memory gates out this material. By creating tiny nanowires out of this same material, the transistors and flash memory gates can be connected.
The new nanowires are not built as stand-alone wires. They are built into the honeycomb lattice, along with the transistors and gates. It's all built as one thin, flexible material, which could be used to build thin electronics, like smartphones and tablets.
"Looking to the future, we can create a flexible two-dimensional material," said Pantelides. "You could potentially have screens or pages that are flexible like a sheet of paper. You might be able to fold them and then open them up to see the screen. The material is flexible already because it's just one layer of atoms."
Scientists around the world are working on the thin, flexible material, Pantelides said. The tiny nanowires created at Vanderbilt are a key piece that has been missing in this scenario.
"This will likely stimulate a huge research interest in monolayer circuit design," Lin said in a statement.

When the world talks about shopping and doing business online, Gen X, Y - and those impulsive Millennials - tend to grab the spotlight.
But what many business owners don't know - or pay attention to - is the gathering army of seniors taking the web by storm. And not just to pay bills and talk to their grand kids on Skype either.
have difficulties learning to use new technologies.
However, many seniors are savvy, confident with IT, cashed up and looking for helpful businesses to do business with. Plus, those with disabilities are being helped by tools such as screen readers and voice-to-text software.
This makes perfect sense when you remember that the internet went public a couple of decades ago, in the mid-90s.
Many of the people now classified as 'mature' citizens were the ones getting excited about and using this incredible new technology back then. Others were pioneers of the internet start-up culture.
Early adopters aside, the general population is aging and have been comfortably moving onto the web to shop for products and services over the past 10 years.
While most seniors prefer to use desktop computers, many are comfortable with laptops and tablets too.
And even though mobiles are the least popular way for older audiences to go online, according to the ACMA, a staggering 36% of Australians 65+ use three devices or more to hit the web.
While small devices naturally make reading online content more difficult for many seniors, there's a bigger issue at work, no matter where they access the web.
Be it websites, emails or any other digital marketing and content, most businesses don't make their information easy for seniors to find, navigate, scan or read in detail.
As a result, this large and lucrative audience is throwing their hands in the air and storming out of e-doors in search of other businesses that are more accommodating.
And this creates an opportunity for business owners who know better to help senior customers and show them they care. And an easy place to start is with content.
Seniors prefer sites that use bigger text size - or provide the opportunity to resize text so it's easy to read. Since many older people have time at their disposal, they're the ones who may actually read your entire page. So it's worth looking after them.
Seniors feel comfortable and confident arriving on a webpage, or opening an email, that's easy on the eye. Don't complicate things by introducing complex, unusual or trendy design element. Be clear, uncluttered and generous with the white spaces.
This is not just a senior's tips, it goes for everyone. Use descriptive hyperlinks and make your navigation easy to understand at a glance. Avoid clever or ambiguous language that people won't understand e.g. don't call your 'What we do' page 'The Lowdown'.
You may also want to hide unnecessary navigation tabs on your mobile version so it's easier to hit the right links on small screens.
While audio and video are hugely effective online, there are times when they can be more frustrating than beneficial.
Some seniors have slow connections which means they can't easily hear or view this type of content smoothly. Others are on lower data packages and may be worried about using up their monthly allowance.
Also, seniors with bad eye-sight or disabilities often use screen readers to read out the content or turn it into braille. Screen readers can't read videos or audio. So, if you use them and have a large older audience, add a text version of the scripts.
A picture tells a thousand words and one of the powerful picture tools you can use to communicate with seniors is an infographic.
They allow you to take complex or detailed topics and turn them into easy to understand, highly appealing messages using images, big fonts and snack-sized segments.
If people can't find what they want via website navigation, they'll often turn to the on-site search box. Many seniors do this. However, a lot of search engines can't handle typos, plurals and other variants of the query terms.
To make senior life easier, show some 'best guess' answers at the top of the list of search results rather than "sorry we have nothing" type answers especially for names of your products or services.
If seniors are an important demographic to your business, it pays to take the time to understand their needs, likes and dislikes when it comes to your digital content and marketing.
Creating great content that makes it easy for seniors to do business with you - and tell friends at the golf, bowling or bridge club about - could mean big returns on a relatively small investment.

Games with Gold: Tomb Raider Underworld and Adventures of Van Helsing III now free
By Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Neowin @LoneWolfSL · Dec 30, 2017 05:24 EST · Hot! with 0 comments
Normally we would have to wait another day or two before Microsoft makes available the Games with Gold titles for the next month. However, perhaps due to the new year, the program's first two free games for 2018 are now available for claiming.
Just as announced, Xbox Live Gold members can now grab The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing III for the Xbox One and Tomb Raider Underworld for the Xbox 360. Xbox One owners can also grab the latter game thanks to backward compatibility.
The games may not appear to be available for free via the Xbox consoles themselves, but the two games can be claimed right now via their respective store links that are listed below:
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing III (Xbox One, January 1 - 31)
Van Helsing III will make its debut on Xbox One and will be Xbox One X Enhanced upon release. In this final chapter of the trilogy, you'll see Borgovia in its darkest state. The civil war may be over, but a strange cult is prophesizing the end of the world. Van Helsing will do battle against even more terrifying beasts with an expanded arsenal for six specialized character classes and a more detailed, diverse leveling system. He's now prepared to face his archenemy in this world of squabbling factions and criminals, but he won't be alone — Lady Katarina, his ghost companion, is still with him and her story is set to be revealed as well.
Tomb Raider Underworld (Xbox 360, January 1 - 15)
Tomb Raider Underworld Dive, climb, fight, and jump your way back into the world of Lara Croft as she travels around the world to uncover the mystery surrounding Thor's Hammer. You'll need all of your new combat options and gear to help prevent a forgotten power being unleashed that could destroy civilization.
Keep in mind that only claimed Xbox 360 games will remain playable if the Gold subscription is discontinued, unlike claimed Xbox One games, which are only accessible with an active subscription.
Also, Microsoft will be adding ten new games to its Xbox Game Pass program on January 1, bringing its subscribers NBA Playgrounds, Injustice: Gods Among Us, Bayonetta, and more.

Fruita's world class trail network is about to be expanded. After much local planning and scheming, over 20 miles of new trails are laid out and approved for construction in the North Fruita Desert area (aka 18 Road). Funding to get started is in place, but much more needs to be raised to complete all of this new singletrack and continue the planning for yet more. Donate today at www.FruitaSingletrack.com/donate.
Direct donations are needed and can be made on the website through our local non-profit trails organization, the Colorado Plateau Mountain Bike Trails Association (COPMOBA), and will go only to the Fruita trails effort.

Q: Get category name from param ID? I have a table called :categories, on which there is a :name column.
I have an action in my controller to fetch the category of a product and filter by category:
  def from_category
    @products = Product.where(category_id: params[:cat_id])
    respond_to do |format|
      format.js
    end
  end

Once I've filtered, I show the filtered products in a partial:
<%= render partial: 'products', locals: { products: @products} %>

from_category.js
$("#products").html("<%= escape_javascript(render partial: 'products', locals: { products: @products } ) %>");

Can I access the name of the category in this javascript file by only having the category ID in the params?
I have an url like:
localhost:4000/fetch_products?cat_id=1

I want to be able to show the category name with Jquery like:
$("#gift-label").html("<%= params[:cat_id].name %>");

Any advice?

A: This should work
# controller
@category = Category.find(params[:cat_id])

# category.js.erb file, which has to have the ending .erb
$("#gift-label").html("<%= @category.name %>");

ΑΚΥΡΩΘΗΚΕ Η ΣΕΙΡΑ 'THE GIFTED' ΑΠΟ ΤΟ FOX!
THE GIFTED CANCELED BY FOX AFTER TWO SEASONS! THE SERIES COULD ONLY SURVIVE IF THEY FIND A NEW HOME WITHIN THE DISNEY FAMILY!
Έπειτα από δύο κύκλους επεισοδίων, η σειρά The Gifted ακυρώνεται από το FOX. Οι πρώτοι δύο κύκλοι επεισοδίων της σειράς ήταν ομολογουμένως εξαιρετικές καθώς είχαν λάβει εξίσου θετικές κριτικές. Ωστόσο, αυτό δε στάθηκε ικανό να δώσει το πράσινο φως για έναν ενδεχόμενο τρίτο κύκλο επεισοδίων.
Όπως βέβαια αναφέρεται στο σχετικό δημοσίευμα, υπάρχει η πιθανότητα, και η ευκαιρία, η σειρά να καταφέρει να διασωθεί κάτω από την οικογενειακή ομπρέλα της Disney, αλλά, επί του παρόντος, δεν υπάρχει δυστυχώς κάποια ανακοίνωση.
Μείνετε συντονισμένοι για οτιδήποτε νεότερο και προσκαλέστε τους φίλους σας στη μεγάλη μας παρέα!
Бывает весной возвращается осень и даже зима с настоящим снегом . И тогда только и остаётся пережить непогоду, поеживаясь от ветра и кутаясь в теплое пальто. Разделяя всей душой с весной ее грусть.
Visited with Kona the fox this week, who reminds me of Vor from my book Cottons: The Secret of the Wind.

Filming rescued baby orphan red foxes today at @thefoxproject in Kent, UK. They are at full capacity with over 35 babies on site and 100 more out with fosterers. Now the wolf has been eradicated from the UK we only have foxes and badgers left yet still they are persecuted with fox hunters trying to bring back hunting with dogs and the ongoing badger cull.
Please drop by @thefoxproject to see how you can support their vital work and call them immediately if you find a baby fox and need advice on how to proceed.
Даже НОРВЕГИЯ сворачивает пушное производство!!!
Новый закон закроет 300 пушных ферм к 2025 году по всей стране. Они выращивают почти 1 миллион животных ежегодно!! Закон появился после широко распространенных антимеховых протестов и кампаний, проводимых в течение 28 лет Норвежским обществом по защите прав животных (NOAH - Norwegian Society for Animal Protection). Норвегия стала 16-й европейской страной, вводящей подобный запрет. Другие страны, включая Великобританию, в настоящее время рассматривают подобные запреты.
Even NORWAY closes fur production!!!
The new law will close 300 fur farms by 2025 across the country. They raise almost 1 million animals annually!! The law came after widespread anti-fur protests and campaigns conducted for 28 years by the Norwegian Society for Animal Protection (NOAH). Norway became the 16th European country imposing a similar ban. Other countries, including the UK, are currently considering similar bans.

The photos that you're about to see below made me go "Aww" multiple times. They show pets and their owners through the years, showing that true, lasting friendships can be formed between us humans and the animals. And sometimes – as we all know because we had "those" friends – they are more genuine, honest and even heartwarming than anything else!
I have selected for you a lot of great and cute photos of pets and their owners through the years. If this doesn't make you go "Aww!" I don't know what will!
Don't forget to share this with your friends if you love animals as much as we do here at Everything Mixed!

Spread Betting is a booming business at the moment as punters look for more ways to win big when having a bet on a major sporting event. The Rugby World Cup will be massive in terms of spread Betting with all manner of markets and prices on offer for punters to try to take advantage of. Spread Betting measures the accuracy of a bet from a punter rather than the traditional yes or no of a bet that is conventional with a standard bookmaker.
There are a number of different Spread Betting markets for punters to focus on at the Rugby World Cup and we will of course be picking out a number of them for you closer to the tournament. There will of course be an outright Win market in the Spread Betting which will be the most popular among punters, it is likely to be a 50 Index with teams awarded points depending on when they get knocked out in New Zealand. As well as the outright market for the tournament, Spread punters will be able to have a bet on each match, the number of tries and points through each each match and the tournament as a whole.
Spread Betting is particularly popular among punters with Rugby as it allows them to make big money on the number of points and tries scored during a match and a tournament as a whole. With that in mind the the Rugby World Cup will be a massive tournament for these markets in particular and when they become available we will be featuring them prominently.


Managing and coaching a postseason tournament team provides unique challenges and opportunities. Competitive levels are ratcheted up, which is a challenge and opportunity in and of itself! Then there is the challenges you and your players may face as you represent your community against others.
Finally, while it may be a pleasure to work only with one of your league's tournament teams, you also have to adapt to the fact that most, or all, of them are accustomed to starring for their regular-season teams and playing marquee positions, such as pitcher or shortstop. Obviously, they can't all play those positions. So how do you, as coach, keep all your players happy, productive and engaged so that they can compete well and learn the life lessons baseball and softball have to offer?
Try these tips for managing your tournament team as a Little League Double-Goal Coach®.
Set expectations early. At the first team meeting, explicitly state your goals and strategies for the season, balancing the desire to win with other considerations, such as individual and overall player development, playing time at different positions, teaching life lessons and having fun. Make only the commitments you can live up to, because from that point on, you must enforce policies fairly and evenly, in ways that are transparent to players and their parents.
Emphasize the importance of all players. Help your players understand the value of their roles. Pinch hitters and pinch runners can be gamebreakers. Back-up catcher is a key position when your team plays multiple games on hot summer days. Outfield is much more important than it is during regular season, because the greater number of better batters in tournament ball means more balls hit out of the infield. These reminders to players not only keep them engaged and productive, but also teach the important life lesson of recognizing one's role on any "team," including family, professional life and community organizations.
Keep Emotional Tanks extra full. Be prepared to help your players through the greater frustration that comes with facing stronger-than-usual competition. Batters will strike out more against better pitching; fielders will make more errors trying to field harder-hit balls. Use PCA's "Magic Ratio" of five specific, truthful praises to every specific, constructive criticism, and your players will keep cool heads through a long, hot summer of tournaments.
Additional free resources from PCA are available, at: www.PCADevZone.org.

Is Chocolate Too Vanilla?
by Don Irvine on July 28, 2005
Leave it up to Newsweek to ask the question if a movie is diverse enough. The move in question is "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" by Tim Burton who brought us "Big Fish", "Planet of the Apes" and many other films.
Newsweek noticed that the five main characters are all white and asked Burton if he ever considered diversifying the cast. Burton responded, "We did, actually, but if you start to do it, it's like what they would do at the end of certain sitcoms-they would suddenly try to make them interracial, and it was I found, more offensive," He goes on to say "It was the politicall correct thing to do and it rang false." After all, the Roald Dahl book upon which the movie is based doesn't specify, Charlie's race and illustrations that have been published have been of a scrawny white boy.
While Burton says that his interpretation of the book led him to see Charlie as an "ordinary kid" Newsweek says many ordinary kids aren't white. Yet, taken in context with the turn of the century setting of the book, most of the kids were white. Even the chairman of the diversity committee of the Casting Society of America says he doesn't see doesn't see the lack of diversity as malicious.
So if Hollywood isn't complaining why is Newsweek? If there is an industry more devoted to diversity and political correctness than Hollywood I would like to know what it is. Well I guess the mainstream media runs a close second. Maybe Newsweek discovered Burton is a closet conservative and this is an effort to paint him as a prejudiced boob.
Give Burton credit for standing up to the diversity police at Newsweekand thank him for giving ordinary kids another deligtful fantasy.

Cloud 9. This is where every true Czech fan of mountain biking will sit soon! The 2015 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in Nové Město na Moravě has not only attracted all top XC riders of the world, but prompted other organizers to create an interesting event for riders, too. This is true especially about the Pražské schody 2015 race and Český pohár XCO (Czech Cup XCO).
Viktor Zapletal, the organizer of the second round of the Czech Cup in Prague - Řepy, says: "Foreign teams showed their interest in taking part in Český pohár so we tried to accommodate their demands as much as possible. Both top teams and individual riders wishing to take advantage of the fact that it takes place shortly before the races in Nové Město and its not too far away, either, have been registering," Zapletal added.
The event of the top domestic series of MTB races is ranked in the C1 category, and is taking place on May 17, exactly a week before the World Cup round in Nové Město na Moravě. And this naturally proves to both organizers' and riders' advantage. The actual word available has it that teams such as Multivan Merida, Trek Factory, Bianchi i.Idro Drain or Kross Racing are planning to appear in Prague. This means that fans can be looking forward to international top stars, such as Gunn Rita Dahle, Maja Wloszczowska, Emily Batty, Daniel McConell, Gerhard Kershbaumer, Sergio Mantecon or Thomas Litscher... and complete Czech cream as well. It will be for the first time this year that Ondřej Cink (Multivan Merida), Jan Vastl (Bianchi i.Idro Drain), and Jan Škarnitzl (Sram Mitas Trek) appear on a domestic course. And Jaroslav Kulhavý (Specialized Racing) is certain to wish to follow up on his victory in Teplice. In a word, Řepy will be full of glitter of MTB superstars.
It is supposable, though, that many more foreign teams and riders will be waiting for the signal at the start of Český pohár. That is because on Tuesday, May 19, the Pražské schody urban race shall take place. And though the organizers of the 22nd year of the race have not revealed the names of the stars who will line up at the starting line in Nerudova Street, we can be sure that their invitations will not be sparse.
It is obvious that everybody is looking out impatiently for the beginning of the World Cup. Most of the top teams will leave Prague and head directly for Nové Město na Moravě to have a close look at Vysočina Aréna and the forests that surround it.

U.K. Serious Fraud Office: 'Why Engage At All?'
By Aarti Maharaj2015-11-04T10:30:00+00:00
Ben Morgan, the joint head of Bribery and Corruption, Serious Fraud Office (SFO) recently spoke at the Annual Anti-Bribery & Corruption Forum in London. Morgan highlighted companies that have been prosecuted and investigated for bribery and corruption—most notably former UBS rogue trader, Tom Hayes, who received a 14- year custodial sentence.
"As you know, the LIBOR investigation continues, with the trial of the next tranche of some of the 13 charged individuals taking place in Southwark Crown Court as we speak," said Morgan. "There is also another SFO trial taking place in Southwark at the moment…Three more begin in January, and the docket for the year ahead after that is well populated with SFO matters."
He also mentioned five other cases which involved the conviction of individuals such as the senior executives of Innospec, Magnus Petersen in the Weavering Capital Hedge Fund fraud, who received a 13-year custodial sentence for his part in a fraud which cost investors over half a billion pounds.
Against this backdrop, Morgan asked the audience a familiar question that some employees ask before coming forward to the SFO "why engage at all?" His advice—in a nutshell: it's best that individuals come to the SFO sooner rather than later.
"One thing I am absolutely certain of is that there are many examples of conduct that could be reported that those who know about it are sitting on, playing the odds game, reasoning that the SFO won't find out," said Morgan. "We work extremely hard to develop intelligence leads concerning allegations of corruption, and if it is appropriate to do so, the first thing you might know about our interest is when we secure search warrants and turn up at your personal or business premises at dawn to execute them."
