The Neonatal service within Cardiff and Vale UHB is undergoing an exciting major development as part of the plans to reconfigure specialist paediatric services in South Wales. A new expanded Neonatal Unit is being established at the University Hospital of Wales (UHW) compliant with the latest BAPM standards and providing the highest standards of care in a state of the art environment.
This development follows the completion of Phase 2 of the Children's Hospital for Wales which includes new children's outpatients, new medical and surgical in-patient facilities, dedicated paediatric theatres and paediatric radiology and enhanced re-provision of paediatric critical care beds.
As part of the phased development of the new unit, applications are invited for the post of Consultant Neonatologist based at University Hospital of Wales.
The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at UHW provides specialised tertiary medical and surgical neonatal services (largely intensive or high dependency) for the whole population of South Wales with a small number of referrals from England.
These include a full range of the extremely preterm and extremely low birthweight babies, congenital malformations requiring multi-specialty assessment and/or neonatal surgery and infants with neonatal complications requiring specific medical or surgical management. Excellent working relationships exist with colleagues in a full range of paediatric sub-specialties provided on site at UHW.
The Unit also provides secondary intensive and high and low dependency care.
The appointee will join the existing team of 10 WTE Consultants providing 24/7 cover for ITU, HDU, SCBU and Neonatal Transport services at UHW. Applicants must demonstrate they have the necessary expertise to manage a range of complex neonatal conditions, together with excellent team working and communication skills.
Closing date: Sunday, 14th April 2019.


Nintendo's Wii U could have turned out a lot different to how it looks today, claims Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata. Chatting to Gamasutra, the gaming boss said that round table discussions could have seen the machine turn into a standalone handheld console, without the need for a set-top machine.
"During the roundtable discussions there were such arguments about should we make it capable of being a standalone system or should we make it work only with the [base console] system," said Iwata. He also claimed that this standalone handheld may have linked to a separate, small LCD display that could be stood on a coffee table.
"Considering how expensive screens were then, it did not make sense to have this big-sized LCD," Iwata claimed.
Things changed, though, when the Nintendo consensus "came to the conclusion that this controller is only going to show the images generated and processed by this hardware unit [console] - and sent from the hardware unit wirelessly. That means sharper graphics. A battery [-powered controller] couldn't do that."
This change of heart is obviously a necessary one, but for more than one reason: If the Wii U controller were a standalone machine it would undoubtedly eat into already-slow 3DS sales.
Re-cap of what caused the biggest stir at this years expo.

Q: Prevent Galleriffic jquery plugin from reloading the same image twice Is it possible to prevent the Gallerific plugin from reloading the same image that's already showing?
For instance, if a user clicks on the same thumbnail twice, the gallery image reloads. Can Galleriffic determine that the user is requesting the same image twice and thus should not reload until a new image is requested?

A: I just added a static variable to keep track each time an image is fired. If the first image is loaded, my "reload prevention script" is skipped.
gotoImage: function(imageData) {

                var index = imageData.index;

                if(typeof foo == 'undefined') {
                    foo = 0;
                };
                foo++;

                if (foo == 1 | index != this.currentImage.index){
                    if (this.onSlideChange)
                        this.onSlideChange(this.currentImage.index, index);

                    this.currentImage = imageData;
                    this.preloadRelocate(index);

                    this.refresh();
                };
                return this;
            },

A: Well, I'm about 70% there to answering it myself, but the only problem is that I have to ignore the first image (at index 0) or it won't start the gallery.
Inserted this bit of logic:
if (index == 0 | index != this.currentImage.index){};

Into this function:
gotoImage: function(imageData) {
                var index = imageData.index;

                if (index == 0 | index != this.currentImage.index){
                    if (this.onSlideChange)
                        this.onSlideChange(this.currentImage.index, index);

                    this.currentImage = imageData;
                    this.preloadRelocate(index);

                    this.refresh();
                };
                return this;
            },

The Government's Comments on Children's Hospital
The Government statement is available here:
http://www.dohc.ie/press/releases/2012/20121106.html
A range of materials including the Dolphin Report are available here:
http://www.dohc.ie/issues/childrens_hospital/
The primary motivation for change and the development of the new
children's hospital is that children, young people and their families
deserve the highest possible standard of care. This project is a
unique opportunity to transform the provision of healthcare services
to the sickest children in Ireland. The new children's hospital is a
key commitment in the Programme for Government and the largest project
within the current Capital Plan.
When will the new hospital be built and opened?
At the moment, on the basis of estimates in the St James's proposal
and in the Dolphin Group report at the new hospital could be
substantially complete in late 2017 / early 2018.
· Work can commence immediately in relation to vacating the
relevant temporary structures and buildings on the St James site that
currently provide clinical and non- clinical services.
· The proposed Development site for the Paediatric Hospital can
be available within 6 months with clearance, decanting and enabling
works happening during 2013 and 2014
· Construction of the new children's hospital can commence by
2015 (2H).
How accessible is this location for patients and families?
Firstly it is important to point out that optimal clinical care is the
overriding important factor.
The Dolphin Report notes that St James has "excellent public transport
services" with 4 bus services, a Luas stop on campus and two others
adjacent, noting a risk of traffic congestion near the Rialto Gate.
There will be helicopter access to the hospital.
A higher percentage of children in Dublin (48%) live within a 10km
radius of St James than live within 10km of any other potential site.
There will be sufficient car parking for this facility.
Benefits of having one national children's hospital – It is generally
accepted within the paediatric healthcare community that care for the
sickest children, who require access to highly specialist
professionals, equipment and facilities is best accommodated in one
hospital. With a population of 4.2 million people Ireland can only
support a single hospital for some specialist paediatric services,
such as cancer treatment, bone marrow transplants, neurosurgery and
cardiothoracic surgery.
From 2006 to date there has been a consistency in agreeing with the
overall principles and proposed assessment criteria set out in the
2006 McKinsey report. The importance of the principle of tri-location
was emphasised in submissions to the various review groups (Joint Task
Group 2006, RKW Framework Brief 2007, 2008 KPMG review of Dublin
Maternity services and Independent Review 2011). In all cases, the
reports and reviews concur that co-location with an adult teaching
hospital and preferably tri-location with a maternity hospital is the
optimal choice. The Dolphin Review Group recommended that the
Minister remains on this path.
Benefits of tri-location – Maternity and paediatric service
co-location has advantages for infants with congenital malformations,
for foetal medicine or complications which require neonatal surgery.
Better imaging allows for pre-birth diagnosis of serious congenital
malformations in many cases. These infants can then have planned
delivery at a maternity hospital co-located with the paediatric to
give them the best chance of a good outcome. Maternity and adult
service co-location has advantages for mothers in providing on-campus
rapid and ready access to non-obstetric specialist expertise, and to
specialist surgery and intensive care in the case
Why was a greenfield site not chosen? The Dolphin report concluded
that co-location with an adult teaching hospital was necessary for
best clinical care, and tri-location to include a maternity hospital
is optimal. Greenfield sites simply don't offer this opportunity –
that would entail building another adult teaching hospital in the
greenfield space and that is simply not viable at the moment.
Planning approval – Plans for the Children's Hospital will have to be
given approval by An Bord Pleanála
Project cost – For reasons of commercial sensitivity Dept Health has
suggests not discussing actual prices. It is important not to impact
the future tendering process.

Supporters Statement
Trudeau's woke environmental policies stunting economic growth
Dan McTeague | 31 December 2019
The extravagant cost of a $210 a tonne carbon tax
Affordable Energy News Service for January 10, 2018
Written By Canadians for Affordable Energy
Carbon credits spiral an already dysfunctional policy into sheer lunacy — Joe Oliver
Carbon pricing can now be seen as true madness after countries have admitted that they are far from reaching their Paris Accord agreements. The pricing goal set by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Minister Catherine McKenna was apparently too low, so it will now be raised to the point of economic devastation. The greatest lunacy is to come – paying billions of dollars for meaningless scraps of paper, euphemistically labelled international carbon credits. The market for these credits is known to be rampant with fraud and does not actually help in reducing emissions. The Canadian public is being asked to divert funds badly needed for critical social programs, merely to help the Liberal prime minister bolster his political standing. - Financial Post
Citizens take a hit from carbon tax — Krista Conrad
After the provincial carbon tax rose with the start of 2018, Albertans are being hit with a 50% carbon tax hike at the pumps and in their homes. With one of the coldest winters hitting the province in a long time, the price increases are devastating. Based on its new rates, the Province estimates the average household would see total levy costs of $508 in 2018. While the Notley government offers a carbon levy rebate, MLA Wayne Anderson says it isn't enough because its not just about how much people pay at the pump or on their heating bills. Small businesses, transport companies, and farmers are really feeling the hike. - Western Wheel
As oil prices surge past $63, Canadian oilpatch spending stays largely flat — Chris Varcoe
As benchmark crude prices climbed toward US$63 a barrel on Tuesday, Crescent Point Energy Corp. announced it will boost its capital spending this year, a promising sign from one of Canada's largest oil producers. But the sentiment for spending across the oilpatch remains decidedly mixed for 2018 and the expectation for capital expenditures across the sector is pretty much flat from last year. CEO Scott Saxberg said the producer has more cash flow, and with stronger oil prices recently it has the ability to lock in those increases through its hedging strategy. To contrast, pessimism grows among natural gas producers, who have seen prices slide in Western Canada in recent months due to an array of supply and transportation challenges. - Calgary Herald
Analysts are starting to get nervous as oil smashes through $63 to four-year high — Libby George
U.S. oil prices hit their highest since 2014 on Wednesday as OPEC-led production cuts and healthy demand helped to balance the market, but analysts warned of possible overheating. "The extension of the OPEC agreement…and declining inventories are all helping to drive the price higher," said William O'Loughlin, an investment analyst at Australia's Rivkin Securities. But amid the bull run, which has pushed up crude prices by more than 13% since early December, there are indicators of an overheated market. - Financial Post
Focus on NB Power debt — editorial
New Brunswick Power's rate hike proves the province needs to refocus on a smarter energy strategy, especially with expenses rising on account of anti-carbon measures from Ottawa. Add paying for other huge projects and other capital costs, and NB Power will continue to raise its rates. The province needs to keep looking for ways to deliver power more affordably and efficiently. But it is NB Power's high debt that is the highest priority: the utility needs to get back on track before indulging in any more capital upgrades. - Telegraph Journal
NYC taking steps to divest pension funds of fossil fuels — Frank Eltman
NYC Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio and Comptroller Scott Stringer are set to announce plans on Wednesday to divest the city's five pension funds of roughly $5-billion in fossil fuel investments out of its total of $189-billion. Stringer said he believed the future of the city's workers was connected to the future of the planet, and the city has a duty to uphold the safety of the planet. Divestment might not be entirely altruistic over the issue of climate change – fossil fuel securities are under-performing and officials say the outlook for fossil fuel investments continues to be negative. - Financial Post
Trump administration says no oil drilling off Florida coast — Gary Fineout & Matthew Daly
The Trump administration said Tuesday that it would not allow oil drilling off the coast of Florida, abruptly reversing course under pressure from Republican Gov. Rick Scott. This quick change proves the political importance of the state to President Trump, who won it by a narrow margin. Interior secretary Ryan Zinke met with Gov. Scott on Tuesday, which led to the reversal of the previous announcement on offshore drilling. Scott is not the only Republican governor to oppose President Trump's new plan of expanding offshore drilling in the United States. - Chronicle Herald
U.S. crude output on track to rival giants Russia, Saudi Arabia — Jessica Summers
U.S. crude output will rise to 10 million barrels a day as soon as next month and top 11 million in November 2019, according to government forecasts Tuesday. This will challenge Russia's 11 million in 2017 and Saudi Arabia's 10 million in December. The growth of North American shale production, which caused an estimated 5% increase in U.S. crude production in 2017, has rocked the oil industry in the past few years, spurring the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other traditional producers led by Saudi Arabia and Russia to cut output to trim global inventories. - Financial Post
Oil prices surpass 3-year high on lower U.S. stockpiles, geopolitical risk — Christopher Alessi
Oil prices surpassed three-year highs Wednesday, boosted by declining U.S. crude stockpiles and ongoing geopolitical risk. Brent crude, the global benchmark, was up 0.4% at $69.06 a barrel on London's Intercontinental Exchange. On the New York Mercantile Exchange, West Texas Intermediate futures were trading up 0.7% at $63.37 a barrel. - The Wall Street Journal
Merkel faces criticism over reported climate backtrack — AP
Chancellor Angela Merkel's lawmakers and their prospective centre-left partners in government faced criticism Tuesday over their reported willingness to push back Germany's target for reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 2020. Merkel's Union bloc and the centre-left Social Democrats are currently in the midst of holding preliminary talks on extending their coalition of the past four years. Their new agreement involves giving up the country's target of a 40% cut in carbon dioxide emissions by 2020. Chancellor Merkel has resisted calls for getting rid of coal in the country, despite her persona as a climate activist. Germany gets 40% of its power from coal-fired plants. - National Post

Oswego East's defense denies Neuqua Valley tourney title
By Josh Welge
Updated 11/26/2021 10:35 PM
DeVon Oregon posed for pictures with a plaque awarded to the player of Friday's game -- but he'll be the first to say what the name of Oswego East's game is.
Oswego East held Neuqua Valley to just three second-half field goals to pull away from a three-point halftime lead. Oregon scored a game-high 19 points, and the Wolves went on to a 53-33 win in the championship game of the Hoops for Healing Tournament at Oswego High School.
Oregon scored 14 of his 19 in the first half, helping Oswego East (4-0) build a 14-point lead. Neuqua Valley (2-2), though, erased almost all of that with an 11-0 run to end the half capped off by Mark Mennecke's 3-pointer in the final seconds that made it 27-24.
But the Wolves quickly turned things around, led by their defense. Neuqua Valley shot just 24.4% (11-for-45) for the game and turned the ball over 17 times.
"It was our defense," Oregon said. "We came out in the second half knowing that they were on an 11-0 run to end the half so we turned up our defense a little which led to our offense and getting baskets."
Patrick Robinson added 10 points and three assists and Mekhi Lowery eight points for Oswego East, all in the second half. Cole Vonnahme led Neuqua with 10 points.
The Wildcats had averaged a tick under 60 points over their first three games, and had the margin at a manageable amount with their flurry to end the first half. But the bottom fell out offensively in a 3-for-18 second half.
"Three baskets in the second half. I've never heard of that in a high school game," Neuqua coach Todd Sutton said. "We had scored 63 on DeKalb [Wednesday], you're doing all right if you do that."
Oswego East has had some very good teams in recent years that could basically outscore opponents with superior talent. That doesn't appear to be this group's identity.
The Wolves' commitment to defense showed early in the game Friday when Lowery and Darren Oregon blocked shots on consecutive possessions. That carried over into the second half.
"We talk about being connected at the defensive end. It wasn't perfect tonight but it was pretty good," Oswego East coach Ryan Velazquez said. "Really didn't end the second quarter the way we wanted so we had to regroup at halftime and say let's get back to what we do which is take every possession at a time and our defense will catapult us."
Oregon was the beneficiary of that defense early, twice scoring baskets in transition. He later hit a tough contested runner through contact and curled off a screen for a 3-pointer.
No matter what he does, Oregon always seem to score within the scope of the offense and rarely forces the action.
"DeVon has a good feel for the game," Velazquez said. "I wouldn't say he presses too much. He just lets it happen. He's all about the team. We got 15 guys that are seeing it's all about the team, not about me. That goes a long way toward being successful on the basketball court."
Neuqua was still within striking distance midway through the third quarter, trailing 32-27 after two Vonnahme free throws. Oswego East, from there, all but put the game away with a 10-0 run. Lowery followed a miss, and Joey Patti came off the bench to deliver slick passes for a Ryan Johnson layup and Lowery dunk.
Jayden Dean added six points for Neuqua, which was further hurt by 9-for-17 shooting from the free-throw line.
"We just got our brains beat in," Sutton said. "We have to start all over. Back to the basics, defense and rebound."

Venous ulcers are non-healing wounds on the lower legs and ankles that result from long standing vein disease.
The ulcers usually heal rapidly after treatment of the underlying abnormal veins. Unfortuantely, doctors and patients do not realize that the ulcers are caused by bad veins and therefore the patient is not sent for vein treatment. Instead, patients with ulcers are often treated with bulky dressings and antibiotics which often do not help. We see a number of patients who have had ulcers for long periods of time and are very happy when they finally see us and we are able to cure the ulcers rapidly. Dr. Rothstein would be happy to discuss this in further detail at your first appointment.

FAR CRY 6 Review PC
By Rob Cram on October 25, 2021 on Multi reviews, PS Reviews, Reviews, Xbox Reviews Far Cry 6, Ubisoft
Ubisoft continues its Far Cry series with a fresh story and more open-world shenanigans in Far Cry 6. Welcome to the island of Yara, a veritable playground featuring the usual suspects. Aside from a few nuanced gameplay additions, is this worthy of your time and money. Take a look at our Far Cry 6 PC review for the full picture.
Ubisoft ushers in another franchise from its big 5 with the arrival of Far Cry 6. Whilst the game shares similarities with its 2018 sibling, some new additions make it stand-out and perhaps in a way, it becomes an amalgamation of its other open-world games. Whilst Far Cry 6 maintains its own identity, that's "Viva La Revolution" in the fictitious Caribbean island of Yara (which has an uncanny similarity to Castro's Cuba), the gameplay reminds us of its Ghost Recon Wildlands and Breakpoint with a touch of The Division tossed in for good measure. There are elements of Assassin's Creed as well, so it's interesting that Ubisoft Montreal has taken elements from these franchises and incorporated them into the Far Cry series.
We think at the end-of-the-day, the remit here is to provide fans more of the same, without becoming stale. Far Cry 6 manages to pull-it-off by distracting the player with the idea of overthrowing the enigmatic leader, El Presidente Antón Castillo (voiced by and resembling the actor Giancarlo Esposito). Whilst perhaps not as menacing as say Vas from Far Cry 3, he does offer his own take on being a grandiose villainous leader. Rather than force the player to focus solely on the one individual as with previous games in the series, it's a case of fighting against everything he stands for. With a massive army behind him, that becomes an easy task.
In Far Cry 6, players choose either a male or female Dani Rojas character, who from the offset escapes from Castillo's army and ultimately joins the Yaran guerrilla forces as a former military conscript. A good excuse as any to be proficient at flying, shooting, stealth and all manner of combat skills. There are no skill-trees here to focus on, although you do "level-up", in this instance it's more a case of simply getting better equipment to exact your punishment. We think this is a good approach and fitting of the theme which presents a game that has less survival elements than previous titles.
Players then have the open-world to explore, but much like its predecessors, there is a story element to follow which opens additional areas which are somewhat level locked. Players can explore outside of the chaperoned comfort zone, but there is no story progression unless you follow the predetermined path. At times though, there may be more than one story mission to complete and a map filled with lots to do. Players can explore the rather expansive map at will and tackle outposts, search for treasure and plenty of other side-activities outside of the story which is neat, but the reality here is the story is the most engrossing part of the Far Cry 6 experience. You're not ever forced to play the side content. There is a little management on offer here as well, what with collecting resources to craft better mods for your gear, or even upgrade your many bases of operation, but these can be optional. You will often just collect things as you play in a natural way rather than having to hunt things down. We like this relaxed approach.
Combat feels pretty polished as you would expect from game number 6 in the series. Players adopt several approaches to complete their tasks as an expected feature which include ranged attacks using sniper rifles, charging in a la Rambo, or sneaky stealth with graphic one-hit takedowns. The stealth especially is pretty competent, although with all the assists on feels like a lot of hand-holding. You can disable HUD options for additional challenge. It's a shame though, that not all of the HUD options are available as we have seen requested in games like Ghost Recon Wildlands. For example, radar is either ON or OFF with no middle-ground to just remove all of the red markers which show enemy presence. Turning off the radar makes it a pain when attempting to navigate to your next objective. Hopefully, Ubisoft Montreal will improve this as Ubisoft Paris and Ubisoft Milan did with Wildlands. The game is fun though whether you are disabling alarms for a perfect stealth assault, or gunning down choppers with one of the new yet unconventional special "resolver" weapons. There is no denying Yara offers a great playground for all. One tiny niggle though is the inclusion of respawning enemies for certain scenarios. This is not a good feature at all and a little on the lazy side. It's one thing having new enemies drop-in via chopper, or vehicles because an alarm gets triggered, but having enemies magically spawn in ruins the feel of some combat sections.
Visually, Far Cry 6 looks great as you would expect, with a balanced mix of water, jungles and built-up areas, complete with the appropriate flora and fauna. The map does feel similar to the Ghost Recon games in many ways, but has its own Cuban/Caribbean flavour. The game isn't free of glitches though but on occasion there are some spectacular random elements that just happen which can be hilarious. Chopper gets shot down and crashes into vehicle, said vehicle explodes as rider on horseback approaches, rider dies, horse runs off engulfed in flames. PC players can optimize the game with numerous options, and for the first time for the series, the game offers ray traced shadows and reflections. A built in benchmark tool is pretty handy to get the desired results. Naturally, our RTX 3090 handled the game in 4K, Ultra settings with ray tracing features enabled. That said, Ubisoft has partnered with AMD on this occasion, offering AMD specific features and drivers which means better performance perhaps on those systems.
Audio is pretty decent here, with some interesting Latin tunes across multiple radio stations. Often they don't necessarily fit what you are doing but add a degree of colour when you're driving around outside of any specific mission. Voice acting from all the main cast is of a high standard, and as you would expect the overall sound effects are on-point. The game does provide a varied mixture of male and female leading characters which seems a little too inclusive at times, but at least one cannot complain about a lack of variety. In these Ubisoft worlds, women equal and often surpass the abilities and tenacity of their male counterparts and here is no exception. If this is a concern, then you will be constantly groaning.
Our playtime suggested 30 hours plus for 100% story completion and some side-missions. The game offers a selection of additional content and post-story completion actions. Insurgency is a post-story meta game where players hunt for clues before tracking down a leader in an area taken over by Castillo's remaining forces. This is a weekly event which changes. Special Op missions are also available at any time which can add an hour or more playtime. These feel like worthy extras to mess around with during and outside of the story. With loads of other missions and activities remaining on the map, expect way more than 30 hours total playtime for 100% game completion.
We like Far Cry 6 as it seems to rest comfortably with its tried-and-trusted formula honed from 5 previous entries in the series. The game offers some great missions, strong characters, and an engaging story of an uprising against an infallible regime. There is enough identity here to make it its own game despite the similarities with other Ubisoft titles. If you like stealth, open-world and action, then Far Cry 6 is well-worth checking out for some no-nonsense gaming 101.

The price of translation depends on the type of translation and its complexity. For example a complex legal contract is charged at a higher rate than a standard business letter with non technical terms. A translation is charged per standard page of translated text (1800 characters with spaces) and not as laid out in the source language. Source language refers to the document's original language and the target language refers to the language into which the document is translated. If you send us your text, we will give you an estimated price of the translation, since the final number of standards pages can only be established after the translation is completed.

Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1648-1695) wrote poetry, prose, and plays and is considered the greatest of Mexican women writers. She was an intellectual prodigy, reportedly mastering Latin in twenty lessons, and at sixteen she entered a convent so that she might continue her learning. One of the most influential early feminists in the New World, she answered a bishop's criticism in a letter that has become a classic defense of the education of women. She collected a private library of 4,000 volumes, but when she was told that her studies were delaying the progress of her spiritual education, she gave away her books and devoted herself to religious studies. Traditionally, scholars have attributed only one complete play to Sor Juana, but in 1989 Guillermo Schmidhuber discovered a lost play, The Second Celestina, which he proved conclusively to be Sor Juana's earliest comedia, co-authored with Agustin Salazar y Torres. Schmidhuber's critical study is the first dedicated exclusively to the secular plays and the first to confirm Sor Juana's authorship of three dramatic pieces. Combining literary history and criticism, Schmidhuber explores the life and originality of Sor Juana's dramas and helps elucidate her enigmatic genius.Though Sor Juana's work as a poet and intellectual has received increasing attention in the last decade, writing about her has rarely taken into account her role as dramatist. Schmidhuber helps correct this critical imbalance by examining Sor Juana's plays in light of dramatic theory. He finds elements of both mannerist and baroque theater in her work, sometimes both within the same play.

Literacy in the Persianate World: Writing and the Social Order
By University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology
Persian has been a written language since the sixth century B.C. Only Chinese, Greek, and Latin have comparable histories of literacy. Although Persian script changed—first from cuneiform to a modified Aramaic, then to Arabic—from the ninth to the nineteenth centuries it served a broader geographical area than any language in world history. It was the primary language of administration and belles lettres from the Balkans under the earlier Ottoman Empire to Central China under the Mongols,

By Jon Stewart
While Kierkegaard is primarily known as a philosopher or religious thinker, his writings have also been used extensively by literary writers, critics and artists. This use can be traced in the work of major cultural figures not just in Denmark and Scandinavia but also in the wider world. They have been attracted to his creative mixing of genres, his complex use of pseudonyms, his rhetoric and literary style, and his rich images, parables, and allegories. The present volume documents this

Expanding Business Education & Career Engagement to the Downtown Campus
An expanded business-focused presence for UTSA in the heart of downtown San Antonio to enhance career-engaged learning, accommodate rapid enrollment growth and fuel the city's economic development.
UTSA is working to expand its nationally-ranked business education programs and programming centered in a new state-of-the-art, interdisciplinary university building located in downtown San Antonio. This initiative leverages the broad needs and opportunities that exist in San Antonio, allowing UTSA to better meet San Antonio's escalating workforce needs, facilitate connecting UTSA students with experiential learning and career-engagement opportunities, and address the College of Business's current and future academic space shortage.
This initiative is built around three components:
» San Antonio Workforce Development
» Career-Engaged Learning Opportunities
» Addressing Academic Space Shortage
View the Initiative Brief
County approves sale of downtown property to UTSA
Various funding mechanisms being explored for programming and downtown expansion
Project teams to launch this fall
San Antonio Workforce Development
"The Decade of Downtown," as proclaimed by former Mayor Julian Castro in 2010, has resulted in a rapid increase in the number of businesses and workers in San Antonio's downtown. The city's ability to continue attracting businesses that support high-paying jobs depends on the presence of qualified and educated workforce. This initiative will lay the groundwork for UTSA to play an integral role in this effort by:
Offering select College of Business programs and classes downtown — in addition to those offered at the Main Campus — allowing UTSA to create a multitude of academic and professional connections between students, faculty and the San Antonio's central business community.
Increasing market share of students, particularly at the master's level. An overall academic program demand survey conducted last year by Ruffalo Noel Levitz (RNL) showed that General Business Administration and Management is the top program in greatest demand in the San Antonio metro area and other Texas metro areas. RNL will conduct a more detailed demand survey to systematically assess the academic programming and professional development needs at the Downtown Campus.
Aligning programming with the specific needs of the San Antonio business community. Academic Affairs and External Relations will host a series of CEO roundtables to fully understand San Antonio's specific workforce needs. These roundtables will engage select business leaders representing a variety of industries, as well as small and historically under-utilized business.
Supporting the innovative entrepreneurs who are launching new businesses that will shape San Antonio's workforce of the future. The burgeoning Tech Bloc in our downtown core already has shown great success. Furthermore, there are other small and historically under-utilized business entrepreneurs that can benefit from access to business-focused educational programs and career-engaged services. This new downtown building will serve these needs by placing an enhanced focus on entrepreneurship, which includes not only business, but also engineering, sciences, and social entrepreneurship skills.

Underserved Opportunities
Heatmap is a prediction of residuals based on the relationship between the numbers of employees and number of graduate students by zip code.
Enhanced Career Engagement Opportunities
The Classroom to Career task force report revealed that San Antonio businesses are eager to identify students for internships, co-ops, and other career-focused learning experiences, and sometimes struggle to do so. This initiative will leverage this opportunity by:
Creating a career-engaged services network hub – a one-stop shop to connect students and prospective employers. These hubs will have multiple physical campus locations, with one situated in the new downtown building.
Supporting the professional development needs of UTSA's working adult students in the city's core
Addressing Academic Space Shortage
The College of Business is currently operating with a shortage of more than 200,000 square feet according to standards set by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Over the next decade, enrollment in business programs is estimated to exceed 13,000. Without additional facilities, the space shortage will increase to 550,000 square feet. We simply cannot meet our strategic goals for UTSA and our community without a new building to expand UTSA's ability for business-focused programming.
Building a new state-of-the-art facility downtown - As a part of the Downtown Campus Initiative, last fall UTSA announced plans to establish the National Security Collaboration Center and a new School of Data Science in downtown San Antonio. In conjunction with those plans, the university is working toward constructing an Innovation, Entrepreneurship & Careers building downtown on a parcel of land transferred by Bexar County.
Ensuring College of Business alignment with the university's strategic vision. In fall 2018 College of Business Dean Gerry Sanders organized a half-dozen "strategy squads" composed of faculty as a self-study process. Two of these teams are focused on efforts directly aligned with this initiative: strategic enrollment and the Downtown Campus. They are gathering data that will be made available and incorporated into the planning and building programming. Two faculty senate representatives will serve on these teams. A to-be-named faculty planning advisory committee, similar in scope to the SDS/NSCC Planning Advisory Committee, will work collaboratively in support of this initiative and begin the formal space programming for the new downtown building.

Sports Mole previews Thursday's Europa League third qualifying round first leg between Athletic Bilbao and Inter Baku at San Mames.
Athletic Bilbao's bid to make the group stages of the 2015-16 Europa League continues with a two-legged affair against Inter Baku.
On Thursday, Bilbao welcome the Azerbaijani outfit for the first leg and will certainly be looking to secure an advantage ahead of the return fixture.
Bilbao actually competed in the group stages of last season's Champions League after securing a top-four La Liga finish in the 2013-14 campaign, but it was a fairly underwhelming journey as they bowed out after finishing third in their section.
A Europa League knockout spot was secured, but Ernesto Valverde's side were beaten 5-4 on aggregate by Torino – making it a European season to forget.
A poor start to last season's league campaign meant that more European football seemed unlikely in the immediate future, but a strong end to the season ultimately saw the Basque outfit finish seventh and qualify for the Europa League.
The new La Liga season does not actually start until August 23, but Bilbao are building towards the Spanish Super Cup against Barcelona, with the first leg due to take place at San Mames on August 14.
As such, it has been a busy pre-season thus far. Bilbao opened their preparations for the new campaign with a 1-1 draw against Krasnodar, before losing 3-2 at Greuther Furth. Since then, they have beaten Tijuana 2-0, and drawn back-to-back games against fellow Spanish teams Real Betis and Real Valladolid.
It has not exactly been the busiest of summers in terms of transfers, but that is not necessarily bad news for Bilbao, who have thus far been able to keep hold of key players Aymeric Laporte and Aritz Aduriz, both of whom will be key in the season ahead.
Victory against Inter Baku – over the two legs - would leave Bilbao just one more fixture away from making the group stages this season. The Spanish club have previous in the competition having twice finished as runners-up – the last of which occurred in the 2011-12 season – and their supporters will be hoping for no shocks at this stage of the tournament.
While a number of big teams are just joining the fight to make this season's Europa League group stages, Azerbaijani outfit Inter Baku's journey started back on July 2.
Zaur Svanadze's side beat Albanian side Laci on away goals in the first qualifying round, before overcoming Icelandic outfit FH 4-3 on aggregate in the next round. As a result, their journey has now taken them to Bilbao and in truth, it is a big ask for the club to advance any further into the competition.
Indeed, Inter Baku are a club that were only founded in 2004. They have twice won the Azerbaijani championship – 2007-08 and 2009-10 – but they have finished second in each of the last two seasons.
Their presence at the top end of the Azerbaijani league table has seen them regularly take part in early stages of both the Champions League and Europa League, but this is the first time that they have reached the third qualifying round having fallen at previous stage on each of their last six attempts.
Last season, they were eliminated in the second qualifying stage by Swedish side Elfsborg and the fact that they have even made this round of the competition is a big achievement for a club that are only 11 years old.
Like Bilbao, Inter Baku are also building up to the start of their league season, which gets underway against Khazar Lankaran on August 7. If they are to stand a chance in the return leg next Thursday then you do get the feeling that they will have to secure a positive result in Spain.
Bilbao will still be without the services of Iker Muniain, who remains on the sidelines with a serious knee injury and is not expected to return until Christmas.
Valverde has no fresh injury concerns, however, and could indeed hand debuts to two new signings, with Gorka Elustondo and Eneko Boveda pushing for starts.
Further forward, it is expected to be as strong as possible for the Basque outfit, with Oscar de Marcos and Ibai Gomez operating either side of star forward Aduriz.
As for Inter Baku, Zurab Khizanishvili is their most famous player. The Georgian spent five years in the Premier League with Blackburn Rovers and also represented Newcastle United and Reading during his time in England.
Khizanishvili could be among three Georgians in the starting lineup, while Brazilian striker Dhiego Martins, who is also a new signing, should lead the line.
The club recently lost their top scorer from last season, however, with Spaniard Mikel Alvaro leaving on a free transfer this summer.
Unsurprisingly, this will be the first ever meeting between the two clubs.
Inter Baku must be praised for making it to this stage of the competition, but they face a seriously difficult talk in the third qualifying round.
At home, Bilbao are very strong and with Valverde ready to name a strong team, it could be a difficult evening for the Azerbaijani side.
Who will win Thursday's first leg in Spain?

› Killarney, Ireland
Killarney Tours, Vacation Packages & Travel Experiences
Killarney is the perfect place to enjoy Ireland vacations due to its proximity to many of the country's major scenic attractions. It is a town in County Kerry in the south-west of Ireland located on the shore of Lough Leane and next to Killarney National Park. Tourism is by far, Killarney's largest industry. Besides Dublin, there are more hotel rooms than any other town or city in Ireland. In the summer months, Killarney is busy. A number of shops are tourist-oriented with many gift shops around the town. The town centre has a wide range of hotels, pubs and restaurants.
Killarney National Park is spread over rolling hills, woodlands, moors, gardens, waterways and mountains. It is a good place to not only see wildlife but to also visit some castles and stately homes. Muckross House is located just outside the town. It is a splendid, outstanding 19th Century Victorian mansion situated on the edge of the National Park. With sixty-five rooms, it was built in the Tudor style and is typical of the elegant lifestyle of the 19th century land-owning class. Worth exploring are the gardens especially when the rhododendrons are in bloom. Not far from here are the well- preserved ruins of Muckross Abbey, a Franciscan Friary.
Ross Castle, located just outside Killarney on the banks of Lough Leane, was originally the home of an Irish Chieftain dating back to the 15th Century. It is a typical example of the stronghold of an Irish Chieftain at that time. The castle has been restored and is open to visitors and contains 16th and 17th Century oak furniture.
Torc Waterfall is in the Killarney National Park. The waterfall crashes over old rocks sending spray into the air. It is 20 metres/65 feet high. You can climb a stairway which will take you to Torc Mountain for stunning views over the park and surrounding area. You can also walk on numerous trails to the top of the mountain. On the way, you should watch for wild deer hiding in the forest.

Adele Dedicates NYC Concert to Brangelina: 'It's the End of an Era'
Ethan Miller / Kevin Winter, Getty Images
Adele -- still reeling over the shocking dissolution of one of Hollywood's most unreasonably beloved pairs -- dedicated her New York City concert to former power couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie last night (September 20).
"I need to address the elephant in the room," she reportedly told the crowd at Madison Square Garden, according to several fans who tweeted about the show. "Private lives should be private, but it's the end of an era!"
As the undisputed queen of deeply emotional, weepy breakup songs chock full of nostalgia and unrelenting pain (sorry, Taylor), Adele's decision to publicly work through her grief regarding the Brangelina breakup at her own concert -- which she reportedly referred to as "two hours of misery" -- is a fitting one. Haven't you ever heard "Someone Like You"?
Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt yesterday after two years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences, and asked for full physical custody of their six children. The announcement sent the general public into straight-up shock mode -- celebrities and all.
While confirmed details regarding the split are scarce, both Jolie and Pitt released separate statements about the impending divorce yesterday in which they asked the public to respect their privacy.
"The decision was made for the health of the family," said Jolie's attorney Robert Offer. "She will not be commenting, and asks that the family be given its privacy at this time."
Pitt, meanwhile, told PEOPLE, "I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the wellbeing of our kids. I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time."

Hello Bettr Community, here's the lowdown on the Bettr Community Alpha card design campaign.
While we're building Bettr, we're getting our Community to give us their feedback every step of the way. During the Alpha ver 0.1 phase, we received valuable feedback, including that our community members felt that the Bettr card could better represent what we stand for – collaboration, innovation and opportunity. With that said, we decided, who better to design the new Alpha Card, than our Community? After all, the card will belong to every one of us.
And so, we ran the #MyBettrCard Design Competition, giving our Community the chance to submit their card designs.
Anyone from a seasoned designer to a napkin artist could submit a card and the entire Bettr Community had the chance to vote for their favourite design. Community members, and the friends and family of the finalists voted for the card they want to carry, in our poll.
His local flavour won our Community's vote, and Sibusiso won R5000, and will see his design live on the Bettr card. Follow him on Instagram (@Handsome_mk) to keep an eye on this talented designer.
We know what you're thinking, "How do I get my hands on the new #MyBettrCard?" From here the #MyBettrCard design will be submitted to Mastercard and we should expect to get the first batch, printed, mag-striped and ready to use by early 2018. The Bettr Community will be the first to try out the new card and connected Bettr banking app.
Any suggestions or new innovations you want us to check out? We're just a DM away.

Tamlite Lighting has been recognised for its commitment to best practice, excellence and quality assurance by the Lighting Industry Association's Quality Assurance (LIAQA) Award. Tamlite is the first company to be bestowed this prestigious annual award.
Tamlite's win was announced at the LIA's annual luncheon in London – an event which brings together respected industry figures to celebrate the growth and successes of the lighting sector.
The award acknowledges Tamlite's exceptional support of the LIAQA scheme, a highly robust quality management system that is regarded as a mark of confidence across the industry.
The LIAQA scheme aims to ensure that suppliers of lighting and lighting related products have structures in place that fully address product compliance. Tamlite was a founding participant of the all-new and improved scheme, and impressed the LIA's judging panel with its dedication to high standards.
For customers, the LIAQA scheme helps to ensure best practice and provides reassurance that quality is a key component of the complete design and production process. Companies like Tamlite which have achieved accreditation will have demonstrated that a series of vigorous processes and procedures are in place to ensure the highest possible standards.
Supporting the scheme is an important priority for Tamlite's senior management team, and the company has invested well over £100,000 in state-of-the-art, specialist test facilities as part of the process. In an unprecedented move, the company's seven main Midlands factories underwent LIAQA assessment and accreditation in just two years – a significant achievement for which Tamlite was commended strongly by the LIA.

This guarantees excellent wind resistance; The aluminum shaft is ready for PVC installation. The horizontal engine is already assembled on the bracket and it is included the Encoder and a plate motor protection that heats in order to protect the engine against low temperatures. The 900gr PVC is welded with reinforcements and compensators according to size and use. The door is supplied pre-assembled so during installation it is sufficient to fasten the box, the vertical columns and is ready for the final test.

This form of offerings is shown on the second site the POI Directory. They strategized with their new venture by coming up having a unique name and symbol. With certification, salaries can start at $9 per hour in entry-level retail positions (with a range up to as high as $15 hourly depending about the retail employer, experience and position), although more specialized jobs tend to start over $11 per hour for entry-level.


OSHA says the final rule will protect workers while reducing compliance burdens.
The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has published a final rule that clarifies certification requirements for crane operators and maintains the employer's duty to ensure that crane operators can safely operate the equipment. OSHA says the final rule will maintain safety and health protections for workers while reducing compliance burdens.
Under the final rule, employers are required to train operators as needed to perform assigned crane activities, evaluate them and document successful completion of the evaluations. Employers who have evaluated operators prior to Dec. 9, 2018, will not have to conduct those evaluations again but will have to document when those evaluations were completed.
The rule also requires crane operators to be certified or licensed and receive ongoing training as necessary to operate new equipment. Operators can be certified based on the crane's type and capacity, or type only, which ensures that more accredited testing organizations are eligible to meet OSHA's certification program requirements. The final rule revises a 2010 requirement that crane operator certification must specify the rated lifting capacity of cranes for which the operator is certified. Compliant certifications that were already issued by type and capacity are still acceptable under this final rule.

What is the frequency of satellite pass over the same point on the earthТs surface?
Space images are widely used in various fields of human activity such as natural resources study, natural disaster monitoring and impact assessment, manТs impact study, construction, design-survey works, urban and land cadastre, planning and management of territory development, urban planning, geology and mineral resources development, industry, agriculture and forestry, tourism etc. The state-of-the-art geoinformation technologies and generating maps of different scales are unfeasible without using space images.
Spatial resolution Ц is a value which characterizes the size of smallest objects seen in a picture.
Scene is a part of dataflow received by satellite. The schemes of dataflow cutting into scenes differ for various satellites. One may order a free-form scene in case of high resolution data. Limitations are as follow: for extended objects the swath width should not exceed 5km, the distance between the polygonТs vertexes should be no less than 5km also. The number of polygon vertexes should not exceed 50.
The frequency of satellite pass over the same point on the earthТs surface is called revisit time. Different satellites have different revisit time.

.Karen Joy Fowler's Strange Path to Her New Novel 'Booth'
By Steve Palopoli
If you're wondering how Karen Joy Fowler, a Man Booker finalist and bestselling author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves and The Jane Austen Book Club, became so obsessed with the family of Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth that she wrote her new, exhaustively researched historical novel Booth delving into the story of each and every member—well, it's actually pretty obvious.
Time travel. What else?
OK, maybe not so obvious. How did that work, exactly?
"I started off writing a science fiction story," says Fowler. "I had been reading some stories in which there was time travel, and I was a bit irritated at how easily the people in the stories seemed to be able to pass. I thought, 'I live here in Santa Cruz. This is a tourist town, and I can spot the tourists. Time travelers would just be another kind of tourist.' And I went from that to thinking there would be destination vacations. And I went from that to thinking that Lincoln's assassination might be a place people would book tickets for. And so I wrote a short story that takes place at the time of the Lincoln assassination, and involves time travelers coming into Washington."
That involved researching Booth, and that's where her obsession began.
"As sort of a side bar to that research, I found an account of his older brother Edwin Booth's return to the stage after the assassination," she says. "Initially, Edwin said he could never go back on the stage—he was a very famous actor—that it would just be unthinkable to perform again. But then he did, and there are newspaper accounts of the first time that he went back on the stage. And so I wrote another short story, involving that time Edwin Booth went back on the stage. And by then, I was just hooked on the family in general. I went from Edwin to the other brothers and sisters, and just they're just fascinating."
You know you're obsessed, by the way, when you can't stop talking about something, but the people around you really wish you would.
"I began to sort of share with friends, who certainly had not asked to be regaled with the adventures of the Booth family. But I would come across something so odd, I would say, 'Listen to this,'" she says. "And eventually people started saying, 'You know, you should just write a book. Stop bothering me! Stop bothering me and write a book.'"
As it turns out, it was good advice, as the finished work—which lands in bookstores on Tuesday, March 8—is both dripping with historical intrigue and an enjoyable read, with no shortage of captivating characters. Oddly befitting a figure whose life will forever be associated with what he did in a theater, the world of the stage plays a huge role in Booth's life, beginning with his father Junius Booth, an acclaimed Shakespearean actor.
"It's true," says Fowler. "And once you know that, once you've sort of got that perspective in your head, you see how much the assassination itself was a planned performance—that John Wilkes Booth had his choreography, he had his lines, he had it all in his head. It didn't, in the end, work out exactly as he wanted, because somebody sharing the box with Lincoln managed to grab his coat and threw him off balance, so he broke his leg as he was making his triumphant leap onto the stage. But you can see that in his head, he was performing."
The book builds to Lincoln's assassination, which seems like a logical structure—but it's not the one Fowler planned.
"No, I had something entirely opposite in mind," she says. "I thought that the assassination would come early in the book, and that the book would deal with the question of what it meant [for all of those involved]. But once I started doing the research, there was just so much that happened before. And the book got longer and longer."
Karen Joy Fowler will discuss her novel 'Booth' in conversation with author Elizabeth McKenzie on Tuesday, March 8, at 6pm at the Cowell Ranch Hay Barn on the UCSC campus. The event, presented by Bookshop Santa Cruz and co-sponsored by UCSC's Humanities Institute, is $7, or $32 with a copy of the book. Go to bookshopsantacruz.com for more info and for tickets.
