Summary: This system includes vegetation of groundwater-flooded depressions characterized by a flora generally characteristic of the northeastern and mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain, with peripheral occurrences to southern Maine and southern Vermont. Also included in this system are ponds supporting coastal plain flora in southern Canada, and in scattered locations in the Great Lakes region. Ponds may contain permanent water, such as the deep glacial kettleholes of Cape Cod and Long Island, New York, or may be shallow basins where groundwater drops below the surface late in the growing season. This system occurs on porous deposits such as outwash plains of the glaciated region, and on sandy and silty sediments of the mid-Atlantic and Great Lakes region. Vegetation within this system varies from nearly forested to entirely herbaceous, largely dependent on the depth and duration of seasonal inundation. Overall the floristics are characterized by species that are well-adapted to long periods of submersion or inundation. The vegetation of steeper-sided basins (generally those containing permanent water) are characterized by strong zonation, with a border of tall shrubs, such as Vaccinium corymbosum, and several essentially concentric bands or zones dominated by different associations, depending on geography. Characteristic species in Massachusetts and Long Island include Carex striata, Cyperus dentatus, Drosera filiformis, Euthamia caroliniana (= Euthamia tenuifolia), Fimbristylis autumnalis, Gratiola aurea, Juncus militaris, Juncus pelocarpus, Panicum verrucosum, Rhexia virginica, Rhynchospora capillacea, Rhynchospora macrostachya, Sabatia kennedyana, Scleria reticularis, Xyris difformis, and many others. In very steep-sided ponds, zonation is compressed or nonexistent.
Ponds of the New Jersey Pine Barrens share many of these species, with others including Juncus repens, Muhlenbergia torreyi, Rhynchospora cephalantha, Rhynchospora chalarocephala, Rhynchospora oligantha, and many others. In shallow basins, such strong zonation is generally lacking but still remains evident in some cases. On Cape Cod, Long Island, and New Jersey, this system most often occurs within the pitch pine barrens. From Cape May and south, the system occurs within an upland matrix of mixed hardwood forests and generally supports a seasonally flooded swamp forest characterized by Liquidambar styraciflua, Acer rubrum, wetland oaks such as Quercus palustris and Quercus phellos, and in Virginia and scattered locations on the Inner Coastal Plain of Maryland Nyssa biflora. Shrub zones are characterized by Cephalanthus occidentalis, Diospyros virginiana, and Eubotrys racemosa (= Leucothoe racemosa). The vegetation includes many of the species from New England, New York and New Jersey and also Boltonia asteroides, Carex joorii, Coelorachis rugosa, Dichanthelium spretum, Eleocharis quadrangulata, Fimbristylis perpusilla, Juncus repens, Rhynchospora corniculata, Saccharum baldwinii, Saccharum giganteum, Torreyochloa pallida, and others. This system provides important habitat for the state-rare chicken turtle (Deirochelys reticularia) and three state-listed amphibians: Mabee's salamander (Ambystoma mabeei), tiger salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum), and barking tree frog (Hyla gratiosa). In addition, the globally rare plants Fimbristylis perpusilla and Litsea aestivalis are confined to these habitats in Virginia.
Classification Comments: In some cases, these are locally known as "Delmarva bays."
Global Range: This system ranges from the southern portion of the Delmarva peninsula to Cape Cod, Massachusetts, with scattered Coastal Plain occurrences north to southern Maine; also in limited, highly disjunct occurrences on sand lakeplain in Nova Scotia, near southern Lake Michigan and in southeastern Vermont. Outwash sandplains in the Connecticut River Valley of southern Massachusetts support a few degraded occurrences.

Adelbert Schulz (ur. 20 grudnia 1903 w Berlinie, zm. 28 stycznia 1944 w okolicach miejscowości Szepetówka w obwodzie chmielnickim, Ukraina) – niemiecki wojskowy, generał major.

W 1925 roku wstąpił do policji, w 1935 roku rozpoczął karierę w Wehrmachcie w stopniu porucznika. W październiku 1939 roku rozpoczął służbę w 25 pułku pancernym 7 Dywizji Pancernej. W czasie kampanii francuskiej, 7 czerwca dowodził skutecznym atakiem i późniejszą obroną przed kontratakiem francuskich oddziałów pancernych w lesie koło Saumont, za co 29 września 1940 został odznaczony jednocześnie Krzyżem Żelaznym i Krzyżem Rycerskim oraz objął dowództwo 1 batalionu 25 pułku pancernego.

W czasie inwazji na ZSRR w 1941 odniósł liczne sukcesy, m.in. w grudniu 1941 prowadził grupę bojową, która powstrzymała i zmusiła do odwrotu radzieckie natarcie w okolicach Klina, co pozwoliło na planowy odwrót z pozycji oraz ewakuację szpitala polowego z 4000 chorych. Za ten czyn 31 grudnia 1941 Schulz został odznaczony Liśćmi Dębu do Krzyża Rycerskiego. Od stycznia 1943 dowódca 25 pułku pancernego w składzie 7 Dywizji Pancernej. Za zasługi podczas bitwy kurskiej 6 sierpnia 1943 odznaczony Mieczami do Krzyża Rycerskiego.

W listopadzie podczas walk w rejonie Żytomierza i Kijowa grupa bojowa pod jego dowództwem wykonała kontratak na flanki nacierających Rosjan i w ciągu 12 godzin zniszczyła ponad 150 czołgów wroga. Za ten czyn 14 grudnia 1943 Schulz jako drugi oficer wojsk lądowych (pierwszym był generał marszałek polny Erwin Rommel) otrzymał Diamenty do Krzyża Rycerskiego i tym samym stał się jednym z 27 kawalerów Krzyża Rycerskiego z Liśćmi Dębu, Mieczami i Diamentami. Pomimo otrzymania rozkazu przybycia do kwatery głównej Hitlera w celu odebrania odznaczenia odmówił przyjazdu do czasu ustabilizowania się sytuacji na froncie.

26 stycznia 1944 objął dowództwo 7 Dywizji Pancernej. 28 stycznia 1944 w okolicach Szepetówki został ranny radzieckim odłamkiem artyleryjskim w głowę i umarł tego samego dnia w szpitalu polowym.

What have I been doing the last couple of years? At some point, I stopped being, living, growing. I sort of got stuck into a routine, a bad routine at that, which came to define who I am.
For the last couple of months, I've started to have this overwhelming feeling that I'm stuck and that I need to change. And when I mean change, I mean CHANGE! Something extreme, something significant. Atleast thats what I feel like I want. The rational, level headed guy that I am knows that I can't do anything too extreme. Quitting my job and moving to Hollywood to be an actor, or to Tibet to be a monk for that matter, aren't realistic options.
And yet I wonder if I can truly change. I've tried to make changes in my life before, but lately I seem to have had more failures than successes. Do I do something to sabotage my own efforts to make a real, constructive change because I'm afraid of what it will mean? Am I so comfortable in my own little version of hell that I'm afraid, unwilling, unable to change? I'm tired of just muddling along.
The semi-good news is that I'm going on vacation again soon so I'll use that as an opportunity to push all of these feelings and emotions and issues back into the crevices of my mind. I imagine that they will start to seep back out in a couple of months and I should be ready for a full fledge breakdown around my 40th birthday. See, I'm such a planner. I'm already planning to be miserable for my 40th. Wow, I'm good.

Chelsea receive injury boost as key man to feature for U23s tonight
Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is set for an injury boost as Antonio Rudiger is expected to step up his recovery from injury on Monday night.
The 26-year-old has been out of action since the end of last season with a knee injury, and he has been working towards a full recovery and full fitness over the summer.
SEE MORE: Chelsea yet to accept terms for transfer of €25m-rated star to Euro giants after initial talks
While he has now missed the start of the new campaign with Chelsea picking up just one point from their opening two games, the Blues will be hopeful to have him back available sooner rather than later to help add solidity and experience to their backline.
It appears as though he's edging closer to a return at senior level, as he's revealed that he will feature for the U23s side in their Premier League 2 clash with Liverpool on Monday night to regain his fitness and sharpness.
"I know I need to be patient," he said, as quoted by the club's site. "There is no need to rush anything because as we all know we have a long season to go. I am happy because I am going to have some minutes with the Under-23s against Liverpool. I'm very pleased with that."
Rudiger will undoubtedly hope to come through that with no setbacks, and that in turn could help him move towards being at Lampard's disposal in the coming weeks.
However, he makes a key point in that there is no need to rush his comeback at this stage, as the last thing that the German international or Lampard need is for him to suffer a setback and be sidelined for even longer.

Between Brexit and logistics, the British set out on the adventure...
The first doses of the vaccine, which received authorization for emergency use last week, are intended from Tuesday on to health professionals involved in the treatment of patients with covid-19, home workers and people over 80 years.
Preparations for the distribution of the vaccine developed by the pharmaceutical companies Pfizer and BioNTech – which were also acquired by the Portuguese State – involve very tight security, unprecedented logistics and a solid response from NHS, the British national health service. And yet, there are many aspects that threaten the success of the enterprise.
In June 2016, when the British voted mostly in favor of leaving the European Union, there were many warnings by opponents of the "Brexit" for what would mean a British abandonment of the European bloc. But it is fair to say that no one predicted that a pandemic would follow at that time.
With the stalemate between London and Brussels dragging on, the probability of not having an economic and political partnership agreement between the two blocs starting in 2021 increases. In this scenario, the rules of the World Trade Organization come into force and many fear the effects that the return of border controls may have on transport. This reality would be challenging in normal times, but associated with a huge effort to distribute vaccines it is possible that it will be a colossal task.
"There will be delays at the borders and it will take some time before the EU and the UK get used to trade with the new system, and it is possible that the imported equipment needed to fight the pandemic will be picked up on that," he told the Guardian the researcher at the Center for European Reform, Sam Lowe.
The authorities are confident that the outcome of the negotiations between the EU and the UK will have no impact on the distribution of the vaccine from the end of the year. "We trained, we are prepared, we are fully prepared for any outcome," said the president of MHRA, the drug regulation agency, June Raine, on the BBC.
Aircraft vaccines
One of the alternatives studied by the British Government is the use of military air transport to deliver millions of doses of vaccines from the Belgian Pfizer factory to the United Kingdom, in order to avoid potential problems at the land border.
The decision, says the newspaper The Guardian, shows that the Government is prepared for there to be disruptions in the flow at commercial ports and airports as of December 31, whether or not there is an agreement with the European Union.
Last week, the British Army carried out a kind of general rehearsal to test the transport capacity of the vaccines to one of the centers prepared to receive them, which it called "Operation Panacea". Various scenarios have been tested, including situations of adverse reactions by patients to the vaccine, says the newspaper The Sun.
The test was carried out at the Ashton Gate stadium in Bristol, which will be one of seven major regional centers where thousands of people will be vaccinated in the coming months daily.
All planning may prove to be insufficient in a scenario of great pressure on the NHS which, according to the Guardian, even before the pandemic, it said it needed one hundred thousand professionals. Experts fear the effects of a resurgence in the number of infections in January, after the festive period.
"Clearly the perfect storm would be a combination of a third wave at the end of January, perhaps due to the less severe rules during Christmas, a wave of flu, and the huge accumulation of treatments that were postponed in the first phase. And still have to have the vaccination at the same time ", he tells the Observer the executive director of the NHS Providers (a body that bridges the gap between the government and health facilities), Chris Hopson.
Showing that the unforeseen will be more than many, one of the initial plans of the vaccination program – the priority given to users and home workers – has already had to undergo adjustments, according to the The country. The problem is related to the size of storage containers at minus 70 degrees, which have a capacity of up to 975 units, but whose transport to homes with a few dozen people may end up leaving several doses unusable. The Government of Wales has already assumed that it will not be able to distribute vaccines in homes at this stage.
A latent problem, but one that also undermines the whole vaccination effort, is the high number of Britons who show resistance to being vaccinated. In a survey of the Observer, 35% of respondents said it was unlikely to be vaccinated.

Renowned linguist and Shakespeare expert David Crystal — with whom Paul has worked extensively on Shakespeare's Original Pronunciation — has just debuted his revised Shakespeare's Words website, along with his son and fellow Shakespeare guru Ben Crystal. Congrats to both David and Ben on this wonderful web tool. The book version was published in 2002 by Penguin Books and is available for purchase here.
Welcome to the (slightly) new PaulMeier.com. As you can see, we've made some visual and functional changes to improve the site. We've also moved to a much better (and faster) server. Most of the visual changes were made to simply keep up to date with modern website themes and guarantee the functionality of our site moving into the future. The structure and navigation is virtually identical to the previous site, but you will now notice that the Shakespeare and OP page is located under the "Coaching" tab on the menu bar.
Speaking of the menu bar, we're still improving that for mobile devices. We're confident that when we're finished in the coming days, the site will look much better than it did on your phone and tablet.
Thanks to our webmaster, Dylan Paul, who designed both this site and the previous version.
Perhaps the best news is that our free IPA charts (our most popular feature) can now be seen and used in all browsers. Because they incorporate Flash, they had previously been unviewable in certain browsers, such as Firefox.
Thanks for your patience as we make some final corrections and tweaks in the coming days. And if you're one of Paul's clients, you can rest assured that your private, password-protected page will always be secure and user-friendly. If you encounter any missing files or outdated pages over the next couple of days, we'd ask that you bear with us as we make the final adjustments. But, of course, feel free to e-mail us at Paul@paulmeier.com if you have questions or concerns.
Paul is offering his signature product, Accents & Dialects for Stage and Screen, for 30 percent off through January 1. That's just $69.95 instead of the usual $99.95. And the offer is good for the 370-page book (which contains 12 CDs) AND the iTunes ebook version.
You can purchase the book (with CDs) here. For the iTunes ebook, visit iTunes.

It's the Depression, and everyone needs to hold onto a dream to get them through the bad times. Car maker Charles Howard is no different, he who is trying to rebuild his life after the tragic death of his only child and the resulting end of his first marriage. With second wife Marcela at his side, Charles wants to get into horse racing and ends up with a team of underdogs who are also chasing their own dream. The first is trainer Tom Smith, who has a natural instinct to spot the capabilities of horses. The second is the horse Tom chooses for Charles, Seabiscuit, an unconventional choice as despite his pedigreed lineage, Seabiscuit is small at fifteen and a half hands tall with a slight limp. But Tom can see something in Seabiscuit's nature to make him a winner, if only Seabiscuit can be retrained from his inbred losing ways. And third is the jockey they decide to hire, Johnny "Red" Pollard, so nicknamed because of his hair color. Like Tom, Red has always shown a natural way with horses, but a difficult upbringing due solely to the Depression has made Red an angry young man, which has gotten him into trouble both on and off the track. And he is large for a jockey, and thus he always feels the need to battle the weight issue. Another common trait between Tom, Seabiscuit and Red is that they have been called crazy by those in traditional horse racing circles. Against the odds, Seabiscuit, with his human team behind him, does show his winning abilities and captures the imagination of all those others wanting to believe in a dream. But Seabiscuit's victories are at smaller races. As such, Charles aims high and wants Seabiscuit to race Triple Crown winner War Admiral, who by all accounts is a winner and should be a winner. If given the chance to race against War Admiral (whose owner doesn't want to race as he feels he has nothing to prove), will Seabiscuit and his team continue to keep the dreams of the common Americans alive? Through the good and the bad, especially as Red and Seabiscuit face mirroring problems, they all have to decide what is in their collective best interest.

Embodiments of the invention Will noW be described, by Way of example, With reference to the accompanying The ?nished electronic package is pre-manufactured for later assembly onto a mother board. This pre-manufactured package 10 comprises its oWn EMI shield 22 for electronic components of the package Which need EMI shielding so draWings, in Which: FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional vieW through an electronic package according to a ?rst embodiment; 10 FIG. 2 is an isometric vieW of an EMI shield forming part of the package of FIG. 1; that subsequent shielding of these components after addition to the mother board is avoided. In addition, the package provides a structure Which may be handled With physical protection offered by the shield to the components during FIG. 3 is a vieW similar to FIG. 1 of the package mounted storage, and for shipping purposes before being incorporated upon a mother board; onto the mother board. Further, With the EMI shield con FIG. 4 is a vieW similar to FIG. 1 of an electronic package 15 nected to the ground plane of the substrate 12, the pre-built according to a second embodiment; structure is provided With its oWn Faraday cage as indicated FIG. 5 is an isometric vieW of the package of FIG. 4; above for protection of the electronic components beneath FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional vieW similar to FIG. 4 shoWing the shield, the Faraday cage provided on one side by the the manufacture of the package of the second embodiment shield 22 and on the other side by the plane 30 connected to during one manufacturing stage; and the shield by the electrical pathWays 32. As shoWn by FIG. 3, the electronic package 10 is FIG. 7 is a vieW similar to FIG. 4 With the package of the second embodiment mounted upon a mother board. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS assembled onto a mother board 34 by the second level interconnects being connected to circuitry on the mother 25 the structures carried upon the mother board Which also In a ?rst embodiment as shoWn in FIG. 1, an electronic includes other electronic components (not shoWn) and pos sibly together With other electronic packages 38 basically package 10 comprises a rigid planar dielectric substrate in the form of a printed circuit board 12. Carried upon an upper surface of the board are a plurality of electronic components similar in construction to the device 10. As may be seen therefore, and as indicated above, the comprising at least one (in this case three) integrated circuit assembly of the packages 10 and 38 onto the mother board 34 simpli?es the ?nal assembly process With the mother board in that the packages 10 and 36 have their Faraday component 14 and as shoWn, a capacitor or resistor 16. The electronic components are provided on the upper surface of the board With ?rst level interconnects 18 by Which the terminals of the components are connected by circuit paths in the board 12 With second level interconnects 20 on the boards and holding the package 10 in position. The package 10, in this arrangement does, of course, provide only one of cages already provided thereby eliminating the necessity for 35 loWer surface of the board. Possibly the components 14 and 16 are also electrically interconnected together through the substrate 12. The second level interconnects 20 may be these to be added subsequently onto the mother board. This is a distinct advantage for the ?nal manufacture of the total electronic structure. The EMI shield need not necessarily be attached to the upper side of the board as shoWn in the ?rst embodiment. For instance, as shoWn in a second embodiment from FIG. solder balls or columns as required for connection to cir cuitry of a mother board as Will be described. The ?rst level 4 onWards, and in Which parts similar to those described in interconnects 18 may also be solder balls, but alternatively the ?rst embodiment bear the same reference numerals, an electronic package 40 has an EMI shield 42 Which is of are bond ?ngers for use in conventional Wire bonding techniques or for use in tape automated bonding slightly different structure from that shoWn in the ?rst The electronic components are covered on the upper side embodiment. As shoWn in the second embodiment in FIGS. of the board by an EMI shield 22 Which extends across them. 45 4 and 5, the shield 42 has a top Wall 44 and depending side The shield 22 has a closed top 24 and doWnWardly depend Walls 46 Which have outWardly extending ?anges 48 similar ing side Walls 26 terminating in outWardly extending ?anges to the ?anges 28 of the ?rst embodiment. HoWever, in the 28. The structure of this shield is more clearly shoWn in FIG. 2. The shield may be formed from a single sheet of metal second embodiment, the ?anges 48 extend outWardly beyond edges of the board 12 and curve around the edges of the board to terminate in ?ange edge regions 50 Which are disposed beneath and directly face the loWer surface of the board. These edge regions 50 are connected to the ground Which is punched-out and then pressed into its desired shape. In this case the side Walls 26 Would be slightly spaced apart by the pressing operation at the vertical corners of the structure (this arrangement not being shoWn). In the plane by circuit paths 52 extending into the board. In the embodiment, the structure 22 is formed by a forming and pressing operation from a ?at blank sheet of metal so that all the side Walls 26 interconnect at the corners With each other as Well as With the top Wall 24. The shield 22 is interconnected With a ground plane 30 extending substantially throughout the printed circuit board 12, this interconnection being provided possibly by rivets but preferably by solder connections, at spaced intervals around the ?anges 28, to electrical pathWays 32 extending into holes around the edges of the board 12 and connecting With the ground plane. As Will be appreciated in the above structure, the second structure of the second embodiment, the ?anges 48 in 55 extending around edges of the board 12 provide EMI protection for circuitry Within the board 12 itself and the overlap betWeen the edge regions 50 of the ?anges 48 and edge regions of the ground plane 12 substantially complete a closed Faraday cage around all of the electronic compo nents and the board circuitry. This is particularly the case Where the ground plane lies toWards the loWer surface of the board. As shoWn by FIG. 5, the EMI shield 42 Which is pressed, in this instance, from sheet metal has slight gaps 53 betWeen edges of the doWnWardly extending Walls 46. These gaps hoWever are controlled so as to substantially eliminate level interconnects 20 form an array of solder balls and may 65 any EMI leakage betWeen the ?anges. FIG. 5 also illustrates be referred to in common terminology of the electronic the curved portions of the ?anges 48 extending around the board 12 to the undersurface of the board. The shield 42 is industry as "ball grid array". In addition, the shield 22 in Case5:13-cv-05933-PSG Document1-1 Filed12/23/13 Page7 of 8 5,838,551 6 5 7.

What is the Role of Trustees in Stafford?
A Stafford bankruptcy lawyer will tell you that in almost all bankruptcy cases, a trustee usually has no assets to liquidate. A trustee is the temporary owner of the debtor's asset when such debtor files for bankruptcy. He is appointed by the court to administer, liquidate a debtor's assets and use the proceeds thereof to pay off the unsecured creditors. Such cases are known as 'no assets' cases. However, should a trustee recover some asset later, he will liquidate the asset to offset the debtors commitments to creditors.
Your Stafford bankruptcy lawyer will have to cooperate with the bankruptcy trustee. A bankruptcy trustee has 4 major roles.
When a debtor files for bankruptcy, he usually gives a schedule of all his assets, both liquid and solid assets. He also gives a schedule of all his current incomes, expected incomes and debts owed. A financial position statement of his business, his creditors, and taxes owed are also delivered to the court. Copies of each of these documents are sent to the Trustee. It is the role of the trustee to verify the authenticity of the documents, the veracity of his financial position in relation to the creditors and whether the petition is valid or not. All this is done before the court decides whether to offer the protection the business is seeking under the Texan law. Of course your Stafford Bankruptcy lawyer will have gone through the documents and ascertained that you need the protection. Note that in this case, the trustee is able to classify your assets into exempt and nonexempt assets. He is also able to determine the secured and unsecured creditors. The secured creditors will be the first to benefit from the liquidation of the business' assets.
This is a meeting that seeks to get the information from the filer of the petition. Your Stafford Bankruptcy lawyer will have prepped you enough about the questions you can expect at the meeting. You take an oath and then the trustee will ask you about the contents of the petition you have filed. Most creditors will not attend this meeting unless they think you are hiding some of your assets.
This involves selling of the property that is not protected under the bankruptcy law in Texas. A trustee is obligated by the law to seek the best buyer for the assets. This ensures that the creditors get the maximum benefit from the nonexempt assets. However, in most cases, the trustee finds that all assets are exempt. In such cases, he will prepare a report stating that he found no exempt property to liquidate and distribute the proceeds thereof to the creditors.
Most businessmen have their preferred creditors. These people might be family members or business friends. Before filing a bankruptcy petition, they will be tempted to pay off their preferred creditors. The trustee has authority to get back these monies and redistribute it to all creditors. In other cases, a businessman becomes mischievous by transferring some of the assets to other people in a bid to avoid losing all the assets. A trustee has the power to get the assets back and liquidate it in order to distribute to all the creditors equitably and fairly. Of course if you have already hired a Stafford bankruptcy lawyer, he will advise you as much.


No matter the season, a dress is always appropriate. The beauty of a sweater dress is it allows you to stay comfy while showing some leg. Pair with thigh-highs and tights in the winter and swap them for sneakers by spring.


In honor of Screen-Free Week, here are some of the benefits you can expect when you unplug from technology.
Every year in late spring, people from around the world choose to take a fresh look at their relationship with electronic media. They do so by participating in Screen-Free Week, which this year starts on April 30. This annual "media detox" began in 1994, when it was called TV-Turnoff Week, and has found renewed relevance in the age of smartphones.
As our relationship with mobile devices has grown, the research evidence has mounted: Excessive media use is not good for us physically, mentally, or emotionally. The good news is that taking a media break is a powerful way to improve our well-being. I've been assigning a four-day media fast in my undergraduate psychology classes for many years, and I've witnessed the effects firsthand. Based on the research and my teaching experiences, I've compiled these five reasons to participate in Screen-Free Week and take a break from media.
The vast majority of American adults carry cell phones on their person throughout the day, rarely turning them off, according to a 2015 report by the Pew Research Center. It is no surprise that incoming texts, emails, and notifications are a near-constant presence for many people. Our moment-to-moment experience is being fragmented on an unprecedented scale.
When I assign the media fast in my classes, I know that a "cold turkey" fast is unrealistic for most students. Their phones and computers are their main links to family, friends, schoolwork, and other commitments. Most will need to check and reply to messages at least once a day. In the fast, I emphasize the importance of breaking the constant checking habit and removing their devices from the flow of their daily experience: during class, in the transitional moments walking from one place to another, in their moments of downtime when they so often turn to their phones to fill in the blank spaces of their lives.
During my walks from my dorm to my classes, I took my time breathing in the fresh air. Focusing on my breath helped me savor my time being outside and eased my anxiety about not being on my phone. By the time I got to class I had become so consumed with my breathing and sense of place I forgot about my phone altogether.
Electronic media is not your friend when it comes to getting a good night's sleep, especially if it's used in the hours close to bedtime. This is partly due to the physiological effects of the "blue light" of the screen, which impacts the brain's production of melatonin, delaying the onset of sleep. In one study, for example, people reading on an e-reader at night, compared to those reading a print book, experienced delayed melatonin release, took longer to fall asleep, and felt less rested the next day.
In addition, we have probably all experienced the "quick check" of our phones or computers that inadvertently leads to many unplanned minutes (or hours) of use. When this happens at night, we lose sleep. It's also increasingly common for people to sleep with their phones nearby, which means that calls and texts can awaken them. Add to all this the likelihood that the emotional tone of media engagement will be stimulating or stressful (work emails, news reports, social comparison on Facebook…), and you have a perfect recipe for sleep disruption.
For all these reasons, many experts are suggesting that we avoid screens in the hours leading up to bedtime as a matter of basic self-care. Sleep is one of the single most important foundations of physical and mental health. The impact on sleep alone would be more than enough reason to undertake a media fast. But there is more.
Social media promises social connection, but the full richness of human relationships is best found face-to-face. Preteens, after five days at a camp without media use, outperformed their peers in recognizing nonverbal cues of emotion, an important foundation for empathy. In both laboratory and naturalistic studies, people felt less connected to conversation partners, and found their partners less empathically attuned, when a cell phone was present during the conversation. This was even the case when the phone belonged to the experimenter, and was outside the direct view of the participant. In particular, the phones' presence inhibited deeper, more meaningful conversations, which require trust, vulnerability, and undivided attention.
Whether we are catching the eye of a fellow student on the way to class, fully acknowledging the cashier at the store, or engaging in an uninterrupted heart-to-heart conversation with a loved one, a break from media allows us to nourish our relationships. We may well be surprised to find ourselves feeling more, rather than less, connected when we disconnect from media.
Any work that requires a focused mind will benefit from a media break. This has been vividly demonstrated in a number of recent studies, summarized by Nicholas Carr in the 2017 essay "How Smartphones Hijack Our Minds." In classroom settings, he notes, mobile phones disrupt learning through the distractions of "task-switching," as students text or surf the internet in class.
Read an interview with Sherry Turkle about how smartphones kill conversation.
Explore how your phone affects your relationships and what you can do to protect them.
Moreover, the mere presence of a cell phone, even when ignored, reduces people's intellectual acuity, possibly because it takes a distracting level of mental effort to resist the pull of a nearby phone. The more distant the phone, the better the performance: When phones were placed in another room, learning improved notably, more than when they were tucked away in nearby backpacks. In a real-life instance, secondary schools in the U.K. that banned phones on campus saw significant increases in student test scores.
In my class media fast, I often hear accounts from students about their newfound ease of learning. Many of them mention improved study skills and less procrastination during the fast.
Greater mindfulness, improved sleep, deeper connections, and better productivity are significant benefits, but what, if anything, lasts beyond the days of the fast?
We use our devices for a wide variety of reasons—some very straightforward and practical (navigation apps help us find our way) and some more psychologically complex (turning to social media to avoid feelings of loneliness and disconnection). However, the routine of checking our texts, emails, and social media accounts can easily become a self-reinforcing pattern. Media fasts break that habit.
Whether as a temporary breather or an opportunity to create enduring change, there is much to be gained from a media fast. And there is no need to go it alone. By participating in a collective effort like Screen-Free Week, you can give and get the social support that is so helpful in making significant change. Avail yourself of the resources at www.screenfree.org—and consider getting close friends, family, and household members to join you in this powerful effort to reclaim our collective well-being.

I should clarify that the UK Agent (PASS) provided some of the free gifts in thanks for my honest feedback on the product. I think they were genuinely pleased that someone took the time and effort to provide such. I appeared to be the first to do so but I know Mike bought from them as well and he may have provided comment before me ?
They did offer me a case but Flir had beaten them to it.
Did the extra battery come from FLIR or Pass? I'd like to have an extra battery, and I'd provide honest feedback in exchange for one. The rest of the stuff I could give or take.
Battery and charger came from PASS after I agreed to be 'interviewed' on the E4 product for a forthcoming review.
I tried to claim a free battery and charger as part of a USA promotion, but they declined to process the claim. Not unexpected but 'if you don't try you don't get'. You just had to buy an E4 in a certain period of time from an Official FLIR agent to be eligible.....but only applicable in USA Maybe you meet the criteria ?
Well I sent a somewhat detailed email of what I liked and what I did not like, including the micro usb connector, lack of tripod and/or lanyard, and a couple of other things... we'll see what happens!
I can't find anything about that promotion. Is it already over? I think Tequipment is an authorized reseller, and I'm in the USA...but I just bought the camera recently.
I went for the >$1200 spend Ex complete kit as my receipted payment in the UK was GBP900.
Awesome. Thanks for the link, Aurora. You are correct that I don't qualify for the accessory pack. I think I'd rather have the laser distance meter over the borescope (have access to a borescope at work, and limited need for one).
What was your receipted spend ? If you look at the offer, you need to have spent $1200 or more for the Ex kit.
It was US$935. I know I don't qualify for the kit, but I'm not going to turn down a free piece of equipment.
This evening I replaced the KB Electronic speed controller on my 'new' (to me) Warco 7X12 Mini Lathe. I fitted a new USA made KB controller board that was provided with it by the seller. Out of interest I checked the temperature profile of the KB controller to see what got hot when the lathe was running. I could immediately see that a power resistor used to drop approx. 180VDC to 22VDC was running at 142 Degrees Celsius It is designed to operate like that by KB and is deliberately fitted in PCB stand-off tubes to ensure air flow around it. I don't like to see those sorts of temperatures on a PCB though so I will be taking some action to correct matters and increase air flow within the controller housing. I also looked at the external gearbox, motor and head stock bearings to spot any unusual thermal activity. All was well in those areas.
The lesson here is how useful, and quick, the E4 was in visually identifying areas of thermal stress on the PCB. It has likely saved my new controller board from self destruction in the very near future.
If the resistor is a 5W ceramic unit it probably will survive that. I have seen them running at 200C for decades in TV sets, and even Tak had some that needed a special silver loaded solder to solder them in, as they ran at over 300C surface temperature. Only issue at that heat is the board failing, and that the surface of the resistor now is no longer regarded as an insulator. Myself I replace them if possible with a 10W version, did that in a industrial controller when replacing the 1W resistor they had installed there ( reputable EU manufacturer) which had cooked itself off the board. Was fun fitting it in the small case as well, but now it runs barely warm.
I sent an email to the address on the card in the box, and received a soft case, sent FedEx standard overnight!!! That must have cost a pretty penny!
I appreciate the offer and sent a thank you email... after all it probably didn't cost Flir much, but a thank you just shows the appreciation.
The soft case appears to be a favourite 'Thank You' gift from FLIR. It is useful and well made, so not a bad freebie really. The RRP from FLIR agents is $40. I was given the Exx case (RRP $60) by PASS and later bought a new Ex case for GBP17 from an online supplier. In my case I prefer the Exx case as it provides easy insertion and extraction of the camera due to the extra space at the front of the unit.
So it is still worth providing feedback to FLIR.... I am pleased that they are a company that encourages such customer interaction as it will hopefully assist them in improving the product.
Yes, I did appreciate the case and it is well made!
It is a little "smallish" for the E4 though...but still is useful.
The feedback I would imagine does help Flir so they can "improve" their product. There are alot of companies that could care less how people feel about their products, and when a company shows their appreciation with a nice "gift", that shows that they care.
Andy and I had a couple of nice email exchanges about my "complaints" and he told me why they decided to do the things they did.


You have been baking cakes and pastries for almost five years. In fact, you make even more than your job as a brand marketing supervisor. You make four times more during the holiday season where you receive orders left and right for your best seller chocolate chip cookies.
After much thought and saving enough money, you have decided to quit your office job and open your own coffee shop. You already have an idea where you want to set up shop. In fact, you have already made inquiries and have more or less come to terms with your future landlord.
With that out of the way, you will now have to take that first step to make your coffee shop a reality and that first step is to register your business. Business registration is a crucial step to start your own business and entrepreneurs should be equipped with the right tools and mindset to kickstart your business.
Depending on the size of your business, the whole registration process can either be short and simple or long and tedious. The whole process can be a hassle if you do not know what to expect so it would be easier to handle if you do your research beforehand.
Securing your business name is essential in the business registration process. The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is the agency that governs the registration of business names. If your business is a single proprietorship, a DTI registered business name is an important requirement to be able to register your business with the Mayor's Office and the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).
You can register your business name online by going to the DTI's Business Name Registration System (BNRS) website. Another option is for you to go directly to the regional office where your business is located.
If your business is under a corporation or partnership, register through the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) i-Register Facility. Note that your business name is not yet approved even if it passes for registration. Verifying your corporation's proposed business name at the SEC office is still necessary. A corporation or partnership must secure a certificate of registration with the SEC in order to have the license to operate a business. That certificate is also required by the BIR and the Mayor's Office.
Get a permit to operate from your local barangay. You need to secure a barangay clearance where your business will be operating. This is a requirement when registering for a Mayor's Permit. This applies to businesses under the sole proprietorship, corporation and partnership. Get a business license, clearance, and permit to prove that your business is a community-friendly establishment that adheres to the standards and ordinances of the local government unit concerned. This process may take up to three weeks.
Secure a certificate of registration from the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).
Registering with the BIR will grant you the authority to print official receipts, register books of accounts, and obtain a separate TIN or tax identification number. Submit an application to the BIR Regional District Office where your business is located. This process usually takes a week.
Philippine law mandates that you to enroll your employees in agencies such as the Social Security System (SSS), Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF) or more popularly know as the Pag-IBIG Fund and PhilHealth to ensure proper remittance of employee contributions. These documents can be processed in two weeks.
After completing these steps, you can then focus on actually running your business.

Voltage-sensitive calcium channels (VSCC) mediate the entry of calcium ions into excitable cells and are also involved in a variety of calcium-dependent processes, including muscle contraction, hormone or neurotransmitter release, gene expression, cell motility, cell division and cell death. The isoform alpha-1G gives rise to T-type calcium currents. T-type calcium channels belong to the "low-voltage activated (LVA)" group and are strongly blocked by mibefradil. A particularity of this type of channel is an opening at quite negative potentials and a voltage-dependent inactivation. T-type channels serve pacemaking functions in both central neurons and cardiac nodal cells and support calcium signaling in secretory cells and vascular smooth muscle. They may also be involved in the modulation of firing patterns of neurons which is important for information processing as well as in cell growth processes.

Few legislators were prepared to stand up for science. Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), then ranking member on the Government Oversight and Reform Committee and a longtime advocate for children's health and safe and effective immunizations, was one of a handful of members prepared to state that the evidence did not support a link between the MMR vaccine and autism. As for the others, the antivaccine evidence presented might have been shaky, but the science is complicated. And most members of Congress — on the committee and off — did not feel comfortable opposing the advocates and parents armed with heartbreaking stories of children whose autism seemed to come on just after they received their routine immunizations. A number of members made supportive comments about the committee's work, and the hearings continued for a number of years.
We can see from the numbers the CDC reported this month that those hearings 14 years ago made a difference. They gave an unscientific theory the veneer of government-sanctioned legitimacy — enough for the Internet and a handful of celebrities to cherry-pick evidence presented to Congress and spread it. A study published in the journal Pediatrics in 2008 found that there were spikes in media coverage of the theory linking vaccines to autism after the two most high-profile hearings in 2000 and 2002. The same study also showed that parents were increasingly getting their information about vaccines from the Internet, where the work of the committee was widely covered.
There was minimal media coverage of the MMR-autism story apart from 3 periods. A large media spike in April 2001 that was responsible for the majority of stories during the study period was associated with the Institute of Medicine report that rejected a causal association between MMR and autism. Smaller spikes in 2000 and 2002 reported the 2 US House Committee Reform hearings on the MMR-autism debate. Even during periods of increased media coverage, attention to the MMR-autism story was short lived. For instance, 141 of the 171 stories in April 2001 occurred within 24 hours after the release of the Institute of Medicine report on April 23.
A review of the NIS data between 1995 and 2004 demonstrates a significant increase in both overall and selective MMR nonreceipt within the 2000 NIS cohort of which the MMR vaccinations would likely have occurred in close proximity to the publication of the article in 1998 by Wakefield et al. This increase in selective nonreceipt at a population level was not trivial; 1 in 50 children missed the opportunity for MMR immunization, and the rates were as high as 1 in 40 among children in private practices (data not shown). Significant media coverage of the MMR-autism controversy did not begin until nearly 2 years after this measurable increase in nonreceipt. To our surprise, selective MMR nonreceipt had already returned to baseline by the time this increased media coverage occurred. In the absence of widely reported newsprint, television, or radio reports, the likely explanation for the brief increase in MMR nonreceipt is that parents learned about the MMR-autism controversy from other sources.

La revista La Nación es el órgano editorial de comunicación del Partido Acción Nacional. Se publicó por primera vez el 18 de octubre de 1941, bajo la dirección de Carlos Septién García. Con registro del 8 de septiembre de 1941.

Fundación

Se mencionó por primera vez la intención de formar una revista fue en el 17 de junio de 1941, en una carta entre Manuel Gómez Morín y Efraín González Luna, donde se cuestionan la utilidad de una editorial que muestre la vida interna del Partido Acción Nacional.

Desde su fundación fue un espacio de reflexión real de la situación del país, época en que la prensa estaba restringida por el Gobierno Federal (PRI), el mismo Manuel Gómez Morín, se vio en la necesidad de proteger su imagen en varios ensayos y notas empleado el seudónimo de Manuel Castillo, inspirado en su padre Manuel Gómez Castillo.

En la propaganda repartida en 1941, se anunciaba la publicación próxima y su cuerpo de colaboradores, Manuel Gómez Morín, Efraín González Luna, Salvador Novo, Manuel Samperio, Jorge Piñó Sandoval, Aquiles Elorduy, Ezequiel A.
