PERTH, AUSTRALIA - APRIL 9: Aaron Sandilands of the Dockers contests a boundary throw in against Nic Naitanui of the Eagles during the 2016 AFL Round 03 match between the West Coast Eagles and the Fremantle Dockers at Domain Stadium, Perth on April 9, 2016.

Fremantle coach Ross Lyon faces a real headache in the ruck department, according to former Docker Paul Hasleby.
Hasleby's concerns center around the impressive form young ruckman Sean Darcy displayed towards the end of last season, with the returning Aaron Sandilands expected to be fit for round one.
Two bonafide ruckman are rarely selected in the same side in the modern game, with neither Darcy nor Sandilands proven forwards it presents a dilemma for the Fremantle match committee.
"I wouldn't (play both). I don't think they can," Hasleby told SEN's KB and The Doc.
"I think we saw last year that to play two giant ruckmen like that who haven't established themselves as forwards in their own career (isn't effective).
"Sandilands has tried but has sort of failed as a forward throughout his career and Darcy is a bit the same.
"They are going to have to go with one or the other."
Hasleby was impressed by Darcy's debut season, in which the big man averaged 34 hitouts and 12.2 disposals across eight games, but still believes Lyon will opt for Sandilands to begin the season.
"I like what Sean Darcy did last year," Hasleby said.
"He's the future of the club and he's good at winning the tap-ups. He's also a bit more mobile around the ground, particularly with the follow up work to put on blocks and handballs and bring his teammates into it.
"It's going to be tough for Ross Lyon. I know Ross Lyon will go to Sandilands first, he always backs in the senior guys at the start of a season, but if it doesn't work it will be interesting."
Hasleby also commented on the pending return of star Eagle Nic Naitanui, expressing his concern over the ruckman's fitness, with the possibility of missing the JLT pre-season matches a strong chance.
"Going into a season proper without some practice games is a little bit concerning," Hasleby said.
"I think he'll play most of the year if all feels right with his knee, but can he get back to his elite best? I have my doubts for this year."
Fremantle open their season with a stern test against Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval.

Autism, gene polymorphisms, CHD8 gene
Autism or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurological disorder that effects the normal functioning of the brain. This affects the development of communication and social interaction skills. Leo Kanner first described autism after observing a group of patients with similar impairments [1]. People with ASD tend to resist any sudden changes in their daily activities. The symptoms of Autism are different in affected people ranging from severe to mild. The patients often find it difficult to make any eye contact or making any physical contact with relatives such as hugging. They are taciturn, unable to understand other's feelings and finds sudden loud noise, smell or light to
There are four main types of Autism [3]:
• Autistic Disorder or autism, childhood autism, early infantile autism, Kanner's syndrome or infantile psychosis.
•Asperger Syndrome or Asperger's disorder.
• Childhood Disintegrative Disorder (CDD), dementia infantalis, disintegrative psychosis or Heller's syndrome.
• Pervasive Developmental Disorder (Not Otherwise Specified) or PDD (NOS) or atypical autism.
Though what exactly causes ASD is not clear, scientists agree that genes and environment play a major role. Abnormal level of serotonin and other neurotransmitters in the brain which is caused by abnormal gene expression or suppression during early fetal development by defective genes is one of the causes. The most robust neurological finding to account for autism is greater brain volume. The early brain overgrowth is most strongly evident in the prefrontal cortex, temporal cortex and amygdala. This leads to abnormal inhibitory control of motor and general cognitive skills. ASD patients also have difficulty recognizing faces. This impairment is explained by connectivity between the frontal lobe and striatum, including basal ganglia, and between the temporal cortex and amygdala. Other regions of the brain which is implicated in social processing include fusiform gyrus, medial prefrontal cortex, and insula [4]. However, a recent study by Isomura et al. have found that angry schematic faces were detected more quickly than happy schematic faces by children with ASD [5].
A recent study has found that approximately 500 genetic loci are associated with ASD [6] and a clear link to a subtype of autism and a specific genetic mutation in the CHD8 gene has been shown [7]. Scientists have also found evidence that the complement system results in the pathogenesis of ASDs. Studies have found that complement protein C1q plays a role in microglia-mediated synaptic pruning in a typical developing human brain. C1q activates the complement cascade and produces C3/CR3 signaling resulting in the activation of microglia phagocytosis [8]. Mutations in tumor suppressor genes may link cancers with ASDs; mutations in tumor suppressor genes and its inclination toward cancers and ASDs may requiresome "triggers", such as environmental pollutants [9]. Researchers have found two positive associations of polymorphisms in OXTR with autism in boys, namely markers rs2270465 and rs237851. [10]. ASD patients have higher levels of Delta (δ) waves and less levels of Alpha (α) and Beta (β) waves in their brain activity. Study conducted to show the use of sonified Neurofeedback produced by a two channel EEG device headband and the Brain Music System (BMS), can successfully suppress the δ waves while at the same time promote α and β waves resulted in relevant δ wave suppression clearly indicating that ASD patients made significant progress in managing symptoms associated with ASD [11]. Improvement in ASD patients has also been recorded by transplanting with autologous bone marrow derived mononuclear cells [12].
Rubella virus has been found to be one of the causes of Autism in another study [13]. Food scientists have hypothesized that autism can also be caused by abnormal omega-3 fatty acid metabolism and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) production. Studies have shown that autism can be partially prevented by treating high risk individuals with healthier diets containing fish, fish oil, fruits and green leafy vegetables [14]. Potential future probiotics (beneficial bacteria: lactic acid-producing bacteria and bifidobacteria) and prebiotics (non-digestible oligosaccharides) have been found to enhance gut good bacteria against abnormal colonizing bacteria, in this way alleviating autistic symptoms [15]. It has also been found that the –omics tool can be a winning strategy to monitor impaired metabolic redox states, networks and patterns in complex, chronic and invalidating human diseases as ASD, schizophrenia and fibromyalgia, even coupled to specific S metabolism evaluations [16]. Recently a relation between addiction and ASD has also been established which is important for clinicians to assess the patients with addiction or ASD [17]. Shortened period of neuroplasticity, which normally extends to adolescence, may result in a shortened period of development, forcing the brain to rely on underdeveloped structures [18]. Autism patients with epilepsy have shown to have low intelligence quotient [19]. It has also been found that nearly 70% of individuals with ASD score below-average IQ [20]. Many individuals with ASD have not received adequate education and treatment that they require to meet the basic WHO sexual health guidelines [21].Three additional mechanisms may also contribute to autism: (1) evolution of the size of cerebrum and cerebellar (2) imbalance in the excitatory/inhibitory ratio and (3) the hormonal effects of the male genotype [22]. It has been found that DHA supplementation in autistic patients may improve impaired social interaction via activation of the signaling pathway and possibly through increased antioxidant capacity [23].
Environmental factors such as exposure to certain pesticides or long term exposure to toxic chemicals, increases the risk for autism along with the autism related genes [24]. Impaired detoxification mechanisms and increased toxicant also contributes to autism phenotypes [25]. Researchers have found that autistic children respond better to skilled staff in therapeutic classroom in Intensive Day treatment. It reduces the impairing behaviors of these children, allowing families and schools to manage autistic children better [26]. A program designed to teach social skills to middle school ASD children was successfully demonstrated by scientists. The ASD children acquired and performed well in social skills in the settings beyond the training site. Positive reports were documented both by the parents and teachers of these children [27]. If parents of ASD children are university educated and had a good income, it means that children are more likely to receive interventions, and well supported and in good educational placements in families that valued education [28]. It is also speculated that there is a possibility of hidden population of Autistic adults [29]. Scientists have concluded that after undergoing 12-week RBP group therapy, children with HFASD showed improvement in social skills, mood and emotion regulation [30]. A study hypothesized that patterned, tempo-based, rhythm interventions, at 60-beats per minute (pbm), can regulate and induce systemic pacing, reduce repetitive anxiety behaviors and enable focus and calm in persons with ASD [31]. In another recent study, proper regulation of the Edndocannabinoid (EC) System and its receptor has shown to down-regulate Autism symptoms [32]. Another study found that synthetic hormone ethinylestradiol (EE2) is an endocrine disrupting chemical capable of adversely affecting sensitive hormonal pathways that regulate reproductive function and harmfully affecting offspring, linking COC with ASD [33]. The ethical issues associated with scientific findings on autism should be carefully checked and implemented, as they have enormous implications for public health, for biomedical ethics, for the children, adults, and families affected by the disorders [34].
Evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of patients with ASD is not only mere science but is also the skill and test of perseverance of the close relatives, teachers and clinicians. Individuals who want to serve ASD patients need to increase their work experience, as well as learn more about test administration, and should be an expert in interpreting the test results for accurate diagnoses and appropriate treatment strategies [35]. Robotcists and researchers in human-robot interaction for the use of robots with ASD children is a very powerful tool for ASD patients for developing a very wide range of skills [36]. Educational programs to increase awareness and acceptance of ASD by neurotypical children may also counteract bullying of Autistic children [37]. Schools or institutions also play a major role. The statistical difference in the numbers of ASD children with verbal communication assisted in special schools, special schools with clinic, regular schools with inclusion classes and day-care institutions, where SLT services are provided depends on the type of institution [38]. Melodic Based Communication Therapy has also been found to improve social skills in ASD children [39]. Though stem cell therapy seems promising, more investigation on stem cell biology is required before stem cell therapies can become a successful for treating ASD [40]. As mentioned before, individual patient is unique and most often does not present with behaviors like other patients. This makes the decision for diagnosis and treatment most difficult and challenging. Therefore, it is highly recommended that a team of professional assesses individual patients' skills in language, play, and sensory motor. School psychologists and preschool teachers play an important role as well, in identification and intervention, support, information, consultation, and recommendations to teachers, school personnel, administration, and families of Autistic patients [41,42]. Parents also need to participate in the assessment to understanding the home routines; how the child functions socially; and how the child interacts with peers, family members, and teachers. Genes may play a part in ASD but nothing can beat proper care, treatment and understanding the fact that all Autistic patients show different symptoms and will respond differently to treatment.

Between the commencement of Operation Protective Edge on July 8th and the beginning of the 72-hour ceasefire on August 5th, Israel transferred 1,856 trucks carrying 40,550 tons of supplies via the Kerem Shalom crossing into the Gaza Strip, including 37,178 tons of foodstuffs, 1,694 tons of humanitarian goods and 1,029 tons of medicines and medical supplies.
On August 8th, the BBC's Wyre Davies (recently brought back to the region from his South America post and currently supposedly covering the Israeli side of the story) visited Kerem Shalom and produced a filmed report for BBC television news programmes which also appeared on the BBC News website under the title "BBC reports from blockaded Israel-Gaza border crossing".
Davies elected not to confuse his viewers with the above statistics.
In other words, by requesting the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, Israel is in fact pressing for adherence to existing agreements – signed by the Palestinian Authority and brokered by the international community – which Hamas has breached. An understanding of that point is of course crucial to BBC audiences' ability to understand the conflict as a whole and efforts to end this particular round of hostilities in particular. Audiences have not been provided with that information to date; had they been, they might also have better understood some of the background behind Davies' next inaccurate statement.
Those conflicts have not been "over Gaza" but escalations caused by Hamas' continuous terrorism against Israeli civilians. Davies is not the first BBC correspondent in recent days to use the 'four wars in ten years' theme but audiences have at no point been informed that in fact, the residents of southern Israel have been under attack from thousands of missiles fired from the Gaza Strip since 2001.
In addition to that filmed report, Davies also produced a written version titled "After the Gaza ceasefire: Hyper-tense and under fire" which appeared on the BBC news website's Middle East page on August 8th.
That article's opening lines give some insight into the lack of understanding of what Hamas is and what its aims are in BBC circles: Davies is apparently under the impression that Hamas has the welfare of the residents of the Gaza Strip at heart.
"Why Hamas, and possibly other militant groups in Gaza, decided to resume firing rockets on Israel on Friday morning is perplexing.
Much of that article too joins the mounting list of BBC content produced in the last few weeks which is devoted to context-free promotion of Hamas' demands regarding the border restrictions.
"But, that perhaps, is part of the Hamas strategy.
They don't want Israelis to feel safe or comfortable as long as the blockade of Gaza continues (and the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem).
"…there's also a realisation there will be another conflict in two or three years if the fundamental issues behind this crisis aren't addressed.
For Hamas and its supporters in Gaza, that means lifting the blockade.
At the Kerem Shalom crossing I saw several truckloads of food, blankets and aid being transferred onto trucks on the Gazan side.
That trade (and aid) continued throughout the month-long conflict, but Gazans say it is nowhere near enough. They say they are completely dependent on what Israel decides to allow in and, for now, there are severe restrictions on building materials, concrete and other basics.
The reason for that, argues Israel, is obvious – while those materials are potentially used to build tunnels and other militant infrastructure, they'll not be allowed in.
There has been much promotion by the BBC of the topic of future 'more of the same' conflicts but no clear picture has been presented to BBC audiences with regard to the fact that Hamas' demand to lift border restrictions – so vigorously and enthusiastically promoted by the BBC – is rooted not in concern for the welfare of the ordinary man, woman and child on the Gaza street, but primarily in the need to replenish and upgrade its weapons stocks precisely so that it can continue to instigate future conflicts in accordance with its ideology.
How about you all stop the hate on here, and save some innocent lives.
You'll feel better about yourselves.
Off the 'shopping list' given in the advert he omitted the price of concrete.
Ready mixed concrete varies from £78 – £97 per cubic yard, a ready mix truckload is about 10 cubic yards.
Surprised he forgot that, as Hamas spends so much 'aid money' on building tunnels.

Each person or organization that wishes to sell or give out food to the general public during a special event is required by Oregon law to obtain a temporary restaurant license. Every food booth must apply for a separate license for every event where food is served.
Single Event License: Set up at one event, including multi-day events, for a maximum of 30 days.
Example: A community fair or Cinco de Mayo festival.
Seasonal (90-day) license: Serve at one event, in the same location, for an entire season Example: Serving at Portland Saturday market for June, July and August.
Submit a completed application and fee at least two weeks before your event. If this is your first time applying for a temporary restaurant license, you are required to apply for a 30-day license. An inspector will review your application and inspect your booth on the first day of the event. Additional inspections may occur if serious public health issues are not corrected.
A completed operational plan review must be submitted with an application for Intermittent and seasonal licenses.
Single event license - good for that event only. A new license is required for each event.
On January 1, 2019, license fees will increase for all food service establishments, lodgings, pools and spas, and child care facilities.


When the prodigal son returned home, after living in debauchery and squandering his inheritance, he didn't know how his father would respond. Disapproval? Disgust? Hostile rejection? Luke tells us, "while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him" (Luke 15:11-32). Unrestrained celebration and unconditional love. That is our Heavenly Father's response when we humbly return to Him.

Weather Report: Black Market
By JEFF WINBUSH
As Weather Report returned to the studio to cut their next album the band was yet again in flux. Gone from 1975's Tale Spinnin' line up were percussionist Alyrio Lima and drummer Ndugu Leon Chancler.
Zawinul explained the latest comings-and-goings in a 1976 interview, "We're always happy with the group, because if we're not happy, we change it. There are a lot of musicians out there in the world. All the people who have played with us are great mother-fucking musicians. They have fantastic skills. But sometimes they're going in one direction and we're going in another one, so we have to make a change. Changing musicians gives us fresh blood, new ideas."
Living up to their name under the guidance of keyboardist Zawinul and saxophonist supreme, Wayne Shorter, the duo were the only constants throughout their 15 year run and they weren't reluctant on pulling the trigger when they felt it was time for a personnel change. Any devotee of the band should already have Curt Bianchi's site, Weather Report: The Annotated Discography bookmarked. It is essential for tons of information and insights about the inner workings of the group including Zawinul explaining the method behind the practice of swapping out musicians.
The new Reporters recruited for the fifth album were drummer Chester Thompson, an expatriate from one of Frank Zappa's numerous Mothers of Invention, where other musicians (George Duke, Vinnie Colaiuta, Jean-Luc Ponty) enhanced their jazz chops and Peruvian percussionist Alejando Acuna. To fill the ever changing drum chair, Thompson was recommended by Alphonso Johnson and Acuna by Don Alias who was departing. Johnson would soon follow to join Duke and Billy Cobham's band and he would be superseded by one John Francis Anthony Pastorius III, otherwise known as "Jaco."
Zawinul explained why Thompson was one-and-done in Weather Report as a decision to go with Pastorious and have Acuna play drums on the next album, Heavy Weather, "Jaco and Chester couldn't play together, couldn't make it. There was a thing went in me, we listened to this and we knew Jaco was the guy because he had the flexibility to grow and Chester was Chester." Heavy Weather was the album and "Birdland" the track which elevated Weather Report off of obscure "Best of" lists of critics and onto radio play and the turntables of fans, but Black Market is equally strong as the set-up left jab for the following roundhouse right punch that would follow a year later.
The opening "Black Market" is one of Zawinul's seething synthesized funk jams as Johnson's thumping bass line riffs away with precision. It also features both Thompson and Walden, but separately from two different recording sessions. Thompson plays the opening with Walden replacing him midway though receiving sole recording credit.
Walden explained the change-up to Zawinul biographer Brian Glasser, "It starts out with Chester, then there's a hard edit onto me when the song changes and switches gears all of a sudden. I play on from there through the whole jam, just smokin.' Wayne's solo was cut live. I played on the whole song, but I think he wanted to keep the opening with Chester because it was so relaxed. Then he wanted a big shot of fire when he cut me in. We maybe played it two or three times. It wasn't too many times, because the fire was so hot. It was hot, man! I was surprised when it came out they didn't use the whole version I cut, but I think it's brilliant the way he did it. I think it's right."
Pastorious makes his Weather Report debut on "Cannon Ball," an ode to Zawinul's former mentor Cannonball Adderley whom had passed away in 1975. It's a restrained performance from Pastorious, due in no small part from Zawinul demands during recording he park the pyrotechnics he was capable of and play it straight.
Johnson returns for "Gibraltar" and though not considered as inventive a bassist as Pastorious, he's not exactly cold pizza either. One of the more underrated players of the era, Johnson's career never seemed to take that next level leap, but the hand-off to Pastorious is seamless.
Outwardly, Weather Report looks like a collaborative effort. Zawinul gets three compositions ("Black Market," "Cannon Ball," "Gibraltar"), Shorter has two ("Elegant People," "Three Clowns) and Pastorious ("Barbary Coast") and Johnson ("Herandu") get one each. However, this was not an assemblage of equals. Zawinul and Shorter were the major domos and until Pastorious came aboard, everybody else were mostly sidemen. Extremely talented sidemen who were allowed to contribute a song or two, but sidemen all the same.
It's tempting to dub Weather Report a "jazz-rock" band. Tempting, but incorrect. For the most part Zawinul and Shorter eschewed the electric guitar- slingers who were lighting up the sky in Return to Forever, The Mahavishnu Orchestra and with their former boss, Miles Davis. Not that they couldn't rock out, get funky and even come up with danceable rhythms, but that's not what the two master musicians were aiming for.
Weather Report was a collaborative effort where the duo experimented with various genres without being locked in to any of them. Pastorious was as formidable a talent as Shorter and Zawinul and Black Market was a gathering of geniuses at work. As it turns out Pastorious enjoyed a renaissance in 1976 as he also released his eponymous solo album and lent gravitas to Joni Mitchell's jazz explorations by collaborating with her on Hejira (Asylum, 1976)
Track Listing: Black Market; Cannon Ball; Gibraltar; Elegant People; Three Clowns; Barbary Coast; Herandnu.
Personnel: Wayne Shorter, soprano and tenor saxes, Lyricon; Joe Zawinul, keyboards, piano; Alphonso Johnson, Jaco Pastorius (#2,6), electric bass; Narada Michael Walden (#1,2), Chester Thompson (#3-7), drums; Alex Acuna, Don Alias (#1,6), percussion.

GRE : Graduate Record Examination
The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is administered by the Educational Testing Services (ETS) for admission into all graduate academic programs (except management) in universities across USA and Canada and some selected universities across the world including India. The exam is a Computer Adaptive Test and is administered at any of the Sylvan testing centers in the country after prior registration.
What is GRE ?
The Graduate Record Examination is a Standardized test that measures verbal, mathematical and analytical skills. It is intended to help the graduate schools (of all fields other than business) assess the potential of applicants for advanced study . Nearly 2300 universities in the US require GRE scores from each applicant. The GRE tests the fundamental skills i.e. reasoning and comprehension included. Therefore it does not require any subject-specific theoretical study.
While no minimum qualification is prescribed for taking this Test, the candidate must be a graduate or expected to complete graduation in about six months while appearing for this examination. Graduates who want to pursue a Postgraduation or PhD programme in American universities are often required to pass the GRE. The Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey, conducts this examination. The GRE is required of students for admission to many graduate schools, professional colleges and fellowship competitions.
Its objective ?
First, the test has no question paper or answer sheets, nor does it have the same set of questions for all the examinees. Further, it does not give you the option of not answering a question (unless, of course, you run out of time at the end). GRE is an entirely Computer based test. The test is scored out of 2400 (in multiples of 10), and most scores fall in the range of 1800-2000.
The GRE is only one of several parameters which the graduate schools look at to determine the selection of an applicant. A high score alone does not guarantee admission. But the test can be looked upon as the first major hurdle to be cleared in the process of getting admission into a Graduate school of your choice.
Who administers GRE?
The GRE is developed and administered by the US-based "Educational Testing Service" (ETS) under the direction of the Graduate Record Examination Board , a non-profit organization of graduate business schools worldwide. This implies that ETS sets the questions, conducts the test, and sends each examinee the score report. For the conduct of the test, ETS has appointed Testing Agencies in various countries, which act as franchisee for ETS. In India, this agency is the "Sylvan Testing Services Pvt Ltd" which administers the test at 9 centres in the country: Ahmedabad, Allahabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai, New Delhi, and Trivandrum.
When is GRE held?
All-round-the-year. Therefore you can choose your own date and time. The test is administered in the above cities five-days-a-week (Monday through Friday), twice-a-day. September to December is the high season for GRE, so in case you intend to take the test during this period, you need to register very early. to get a date of your choice. Otherwise, registering at least 15 days in advance is mandatory. The test lasts roughly three-and-a-half hours, and most centres offer two slots : 9 A.M. and 2 P.M.
What is Computer - Adaptive Test and how does it work?
In such a test, the computer screen displays one question at a time, which is chosen from a very large pool of questions categorized by content and toughness. The first question is always of a medium difficulty, and each subsequent question is determined by your responses to all the previous questions. In other words, the CAT adjusts itself to your ability level Each question in the GRE CAT has five answer options, and you are required to select one of these five as the correct answer by clicking on it. A subsequent question is displayed on the screen only after you have answered the previous question. You cannot also go back to a previously answered question to change your answer.
Content & Format of GRE
The test has three distinct sections : Quantitative, Analytical, and Verbal. The Quantitative section has Problem Solving questions, which test your mathematical skills and concepts of roughly the high-school level. The Verbal Section has four types of questions : Antonyms, Analogies, Reading Comprehension, and Sentence Completion. The questions of each type appear in no set sequence. Questions in the Analytical Section test your logical and structural reasoning ability. There are a total of 93 questions, 28 in Quantitative, 35 in Analytical, and 30 in Verbal.
In addition to the objective-type questions test, the GRE has introduced the Writing Assessment as a separate test. This test measures critical thinking and analytical writing skills, consisting of two analytical writing tasks : (1) "Present your perspective on an issue", and (2) "Analyze an Argument". Whether you will actually need to take this test will depend on whether the graduate schools you are planning to apply to require or recommend this test.
There is a one-minute break between each test section. Midway through the testing session, an on-screen message will inform you of the opportunity to take a 10-minute break. Section timing will not stop if you take an unscheduled break.
Section Number of questions Time
Verbal Section 30 30 minutes
Quantitative 28 45 ''
Analytical 35 60
Experimental Section varies varies
The section tests you on a level of Maths that is comparable to Class 10 mathematics, with questions on Number Systems, Percentages, Fractions & Decimals, Algebra (including Quadratic Equations), Geometry (including Basic Coordinate Geometry), Ratio & Proportion, Area & Volume of 2-D and 3-D figures, and Probability. This list is not exhaustive; questions from beyond these topics may also be asked.
The section has 28 questions to be completed in 45 minutes.
Verbal Section
The verbal section in GRE requires a good vocabulary level, the basic skills of correct English coupled with reasoning and analysis. The 30 questions, to be attempted in 30 minutes, consist of four types : Antonyms, Analogies, Sentence Completion, and Reading Comprehension. The four types are intermingled, with no fixed number for each type.
Analytical Section
This section tests pure analytical and logical reasoning skills, and is akin to the standard "IQ tests". It has a total of 35 questions, to be attempted in 60 minutes. The questions are based on the interpretation and analysis of some data presented - which may be quantitative data or verbal information.
Reporting the Score
ETS has the provision of reporting your GRE scores to a maximum of four universities of your choice, the cost of which is built into the fee you pay. You have to indicate the four universities where you wish a copy of your GRE score to be sent after you get to know your scores. For reporting to each additional university, the ETS charges you $13, payable by an international credit card or a dollar denominated draft.
The GRE results comprise four different scores : a total score, and separate scores for Verbal, Quantitative, and Analytical sections. The total score is reported out of 2400 and the sectional scores are out of 800.
In addition to these scores, the score report also contains percents (%) below. These "% below" indicate the percentage of examinees who scored below you based on the scores of the entire GRE testing population for the most recent three-year period. These percentages are important in considering how an applicant for admission to a particular management school compares with everyone in the specified period, with all other applicants to the same school, and with students already enrolled at the school.
What fees and eligibility are associated with the GRE?
Anyone and everyone is eligible for taking the GRE.There are no restrictions based on age or qualifications. The test scores are valid for five years. Most universities accept scores up to five years old. Test fees for GRE may vary according to the country in which you take the test. In India, this fee is US $125 (approx Rs. 5400), payable at the time of registration. The fee has to be paid through a US Dollar denominated draft, made out in favour of "ETS - GRE" payable in the U.S. Such a draft is usually available with the Main Branches of most banks (which have a foreign exchange counter) in most of the big cities for a nominal charge (around Rs. 200). Alternately, the payment can also be made through a credit card which has global acceptance.

Performances seen & general discussions
BRB - Coppelia - Spring 2012
Birmingham Royal Ballet
Sir Peter Wright
By Jan McNulty
March 11, 2012 in Performances seen & general discussions
I was in Sunderland for the first three performances of Coppelia. Sir Peter Wright's 1995 production is handsome and very traditional and still looks as fresh as a daisy.
Opening night honours went to Elisha Willis and Matthew Lawrence. Elisha is terrific as Swanilda - her outrage at Franz' flirting is a joy to behold and she is very deft of foot in Act 2. Matthew Lawrence "acts big" and Franz suits him. He's a terrific partner.
On Thursday evening we were treated to a delightful performance from Laetitia Lo Sardo and Joe Caley. Laetitia is sublime as Swanilda; she is totally subsumed into the role. I adore Joe as Franz - he really is a cheeky chappy with just the right amount of frivolous flirting and enormous energy in his perfomance.
The highlight for me was the schools' matinee on Thursday afternoon. The children present were, without exception, wonderfully behaved and created a very enthusiastic and enjoyable atmosphere in the audience. They were treated to a dazzling virtuoso performance from Nao Sakuma and Chi Cao. The roles fitted them like gloves and they brought just the right amount of humour, flirting and pathos to their sparkling, fizzing performance. Bravi to them!
The whole company were on joyous form. I particularly enjoyed Callie Roberts as Dawn at one performance and we had three terrific "Call to Arms" leaders in Tyrone Singleton, Matthias Dingman and Tzu-Chao Chou. Jonathan Payn, Rory Mackay and Valentin Olovyannikov are all notable and enjoyable as Doctor Coppelius.
Coppelia is at the Coliseum at the end of the week - I do hope you can all get along to see a performance and record your thoughts here!

Location: North of England
We were also treated to a delightful performance at the Sunderland Empire on Friday evening. Both Ambra Vallo as Swanilda and Tyrone Singleton as Franz danced with an appealing sense of hilarity, humour and convincing rapport of comedy, fun and genuineness. We went with our dance school, the children had fabulous front row seats and this was the first time some of the children, my DD's, myself and my mum have ever seen Coppelia. We thoroughly enjoyed both the humour and cheekiness and were astounded by the fabulous acting/dancing performance by all the cast.
We are definitely looking forward to BRB's next performances up in the North East!! Definitely Bravo!!
Birmingham Royal Ballet brought their production - by Sir Peter Wright - of Coppelia to the London Coliseum this week. It's very handsome-looking, even if its designs do bring to mind more Giselle than the usually rather more brightly-coloured Coppelia. I'd seen it back in its inaugural year at the Royal Opera House in 1995 (when I note that one of the soldiers in Act II was played by a very young Robert Parker), and hadn't taken to the production then, and this re-viewing of it a decade-and-a-half later only served to confirm my feelings. For me, at least on this showing, it seems to be rather prosaic, and lacking in any sense of magic, marvel or mystery (perhaps it had more originally, before the ending - which I didn't like - was changed) or, for that matter, any real sense of narrative development/logic compared with the other productions which I've seen.
Taking just as one example the "transformation" scene in Act II: in any other production that I've seen, you can see Swanilda's brain working, as she tries to figure out what on earth Coppelius is doing - watching him even when she's pretending to be the doll, sneaking a peak at the spell book so that she knows how to react to make it look as though the spell has worked - but here it seems to be done virtually solely by telepathy, which must be confusing to someone who isn't particularly familiar with the ballet (and it's not performed much these days, it has to be said). In most productions I've been aware of a "coming-of-age" character arc for Franz: starting as a flirtatious young man, not ready to be tied down, he undergoes a rather unpleasant experience which makes him mature, and ready to make a real commitment to his fiancee - not unlike in The Two Pigeons, shown a few days previously (which in turn is not dissimilar to Daphnis and Chloe, but that's another matter) - but here I didn't get any feeling that there had been any real change in his behaviour between the first and last acts (because the experience wasn't actually particularly bad, or there was no real threat to him?), and I thought the ballet was diminished as a result.
Anyway, hopefully other people will have appreciated the production more than I did. What did you think?
My 11 year old daughter and I saw and enjoyed Coppelia last night. I feel Coppelia is a bit Nutcracker in an East European village. The production is a bit sugary and the comedy is emphasised at the expense of the magic. There's little of the dark undertones and other-worldliness that you find in most productions of the Nutcracker. Dr Coppelius does not really come across as a sinister figure but more of an eccentric villager but perhaps that's how it's supposed to be. I really liked the sets and costumes and thought that the dancing as a whole was good. Matthew Lawrence had a lot of stage presence and Elisha Willis was very sweet. The mime was very clear, perhaps even a little exaggerated.
It was gratifying to see so many young and youngish people sitting in the balcony. There were some adults with children but a lot more couples and groups in their 20s, 30s and 40s. Ballet companies seem to believe that they have to put on edgy or contemporary work to attract younger audiences and so it was interesting to see how many young(ish) people had come to see a light-hearted romantic ballet.
That's very encouraging to hear, Aileen.
Beryl H
It's funny Alison, I enjoyed this production of Coppelia for the reasons you didn't, it does have a Giselle feel and I loved the way it puts the ballet back to the late Romantic era, in fact the first thing I thought (from my position high up looking down from the side) was of watching a Degas picture, especially as the Swanilda was Ambra Vallo who has a very soft look and technique. Tyrone Singelton had a more Romantic approach too, which I also liked, there were a lovely couple. The evening pair, Elsha Willis and Matthew Lawrence , danced in the more usual way, fast and funny, it was a very good contrast and made me think of how very different ballets look with each cast!
There were some marvellous soloists too, Celine Gittens did a beautiful Dawn, and both Yijing Zhang and Samara Downs were very pure as Prayer, in fact the whole season was a huge pleasure! On a more prosaic note, good informative programme and thanks for keeping the intervals down!
Paul N
Alison - there's already a thread for this here:
http://www.balletcof...ia-spring-2012/
Can an admin person merge them please?
Thanks for pointing that out, Paul. And my apologies to Janet - had I been a little more alert to BRB's schedule, I'd have known that there was no way we didn't already have a thread for the subject
tim b
last minute decision to do the sunday matinee and about half a house clearly wholeheartedly enjoyed the ballet and laetitia with joe caley (particularly stunning jumps) - have just been reading thro the above and agree with you alison almost word for word - there was never any doubt that this swanhilda might not lead frantz up the aisle whatever his little foibles with other gals which rather destroys the whole point of the story to my (has to be logical) mind!! the rather nasty elements to my mind - mugging an old man who is going about his own business quietly - breaking in & vandalising his home - paying him off at the end which is supposed to suddenly make everything all right i think are totally skated over & sugar coated - what would sir kenneth's version have been like i wonders m'dear?!!

On Tuesday ODM party leader Raila Odinga chaired a meeting that adopted a report recommending the expulsion of MP Aisha Jumwa, her Msambweni counterpart Suleiman Dori, and seven ward representatives, six from Homa Bay and one from Busia, from the party.
Ms Jumwa and Mr Dori, who were both elected on an ODM ticket in the 2017 elections, have been accused of party disloyalty after they declared their support for Deputy President William Ruto's 2022 State House bid. They will plead their case before the party National Executive Council next year.
If the decision by the party's disciplinary committee is upheld by the NEC, they, and the seven ward representatives, will lose their seats.
The MCAs recommended for expulsion from Homa Bay County are Dan Ochieng Were, Evans dada Marieba, Julius Odhiambo Gaya, Geoffrey Onyango Juma, Paul Ongoro Wamunga, and Joshua Okumu Nyabola. From Busia County Assembly is Immaculate Joice Adhiambo.
The recommendations were given to the MCAs following recent acts of violence, unruly behaviour and disobeying party decisions.
However, Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi has strongly accused the party for its move to discipline the MPs and the six MCAs.
Ahmednasir argues that ODM doesn't see the irony of disciplining Hon Dori and Aisha for expressing support for DP Ruto, the No 2 in Jubilee…yet it's ok for Hon Raila ODM party leader to support the policies & politics of HE Uhuru, the No1 in Jubilee.
The lawyer goes ahead to cite that ODM is obviously a peculiar animal farm.
The mula is I'll advised and high on a pay cheque.
sure they preach water they take wine.Aisha jumwa and Dori have seen the ship which they abode is drawning with their captain therefore is their right choice to escape political death. follow the steps of duale , balala, ngilu, deputy president when they left Odm and joined TNA and formed the government.
That stupied useless Ahmednasir his party is………I guess he don't even own any party even in their confuse village.Stop talking about ODM you are not even a member.she Kalonzo run away with ODM Kenya in 2007,did u or your so called friends help Rails to buy ODM.

        );
    }       ..........

In my form , the input for date and time is :
<input type="hidden" class="form-control" value="<?php echo date('F j, Y, g:i a'); ?

Thank you

A: Remove
':date_time' => 'NOW()'

from the array of parameters. NOW() isn't an input parameter coming from outside the query, it's a native SQL function so it doesn't need parameterising.

Description: Brother Andrew says there are no "doors" in this world that are closed to prevent the proclaiming of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Though the messenger may be bound in chains, the message still gets through. Brother Andrew cites Paul's situation in Acts 28:30-31. Even as a prisoner of Rome, the Apostle continued to deliver the message. But once through the "door," could a believer return if he wanted to and still be true to Christ? Could Paul? Could Peter? Could Stephen? Could the martyrs?
Description: This is a powerful sermon on missions and having a burden for the lost souls in this earth over 5 billion lost souls. Can we share the heart beat of God for the multitudes. Do we really love God? What about when the test comes on? Darrell gives examples from his own life and family and how God asked the question of him, "Do you love me with shoes on?" You will look at love for God in a new light after hearing this message.
Description: The vision to evangelize the "10/40 Window" was given to a small band of Chinese Christians in the late 1920's. That vision has remained in the heart of the Chinese church for 80 years and is still alive today. One small group of missionaries made it all the way to Xinjiang in the 1940's, but were stopped and imprisoned there by the government. The Back to Jerusalem Gospel Mission was founded by Brother Peter Xu in 2003 to raise awareness of the vision and train missionaries to fulfill the mission.

Radial Bone-Mineral Density in Premenopausal and Perimenopausal Women - a Prospective-Study of Rates and Risk-Factors for Loss

Journal of Bone and Mineral Research
Radial bone mineral density (BMD) of 217 white women aged 22-54 years from a single rural community was evaluated in 1984 using single-photon absorptiometry. BMD was measured at a site one-third the distance from the wrist to the elbow, a site that represents predominantly cortical bone tissue. Most of these women (181; 83%) were reexamined 5 years later. The overall average 5 year radial BMD loss was -5.6%. The average rate of loss was -4.5% for women retaining positive estrogen status at follow-up (n = 108) and -7.4% for women who were in negative estrogen status at follow-up (n = 73). Baseline radial BMD measures were highly predictive of the follow-up BMD values (r = 0.80). Women with positive estrogen status and greater baseline BMD also had less BMD change. Greater baseline BMD did not predict the amount of change in women with negative estrogen status. The bone turnover markers osteocalcin and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase were significantly associated with BMD change in women with negative, but not positive estrogen status. There was no conclusive evidence of a "peak age" in the baseline and follow-up BMD measures. Based on rates of BMD change, "peak" bone mineral content appears to occur before age 25 years. Factors significantly associated with lower levels of BMD were menopause without estrogen replacement, nulliparity, smoking, and age at first pregnancy. Factors associated with more bone loss were menopause without estrogen replacement, smoking, shorter duration of oral contraceptive use, and older age. Quetelet index, muscle area, number of lost pregnancies, ever breast-feeding, or calcium intake were not associated with BMD level or its 5 year rate of loss. Physical activity and alcohol intake were not associated with BMD level or change after data were adjusted for age or estrogen status.

Though deemed "safer" than normal cigarettes, electronic cigarettes may still pose a risk for bladder cancer.
BY Allie Casey
At the recent American Urological Association's Annual Meeting, findings from a pilot study done at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center reported a potential link between e-cigarette use and bladder cancer.
In a statement, Sam S. Chang, M.D., M.B.A., who moderated the press session during which this study was presented, commented, "We've known traditional smoking raises bladder cancer risk, and given the surge in popularity of e-cigarettes, it's imperative we uncover any potential links to e-cigarette smoke and bladder cancer."
While e-cigarettes may be safer than traditional cigarettes, the composition of the liquids in these devices are complex and unregulated. There is a wide variety of formulas and some may contain known bladder carcinogens such as nitrosamines, formaldehyde, acrolein, metals and acetaldehyde.
The study reported that the urine samples of e-cigarette users contained some of those known carcinogens.
In an interview with CURE, senior researcher on the study, Tatum Tarin, M.D., commented, "One of the biggest impetuses for this study is that we know that e-cigarettes and vaping is a useful tool for people to stop smoking, sort of a safe alternative.
"There's been a 900% increase in e-cigarettes and vaping in kids, that wouldn't be smoking otherwise. What we were trying to show is that in kids who are non-smokers, this is not exactly a safe thing, or at least we don't know the full safety profile of electronic cigarettes and vaping."
Researchers collected urine samples from thirteen e-cigarette users and ten non-smoking, non e-cigarette using controls. Using liquid chromactography-mass spectrometry, they tested the samples for five molecules that are known to be bladder carcinogens and are either present in traditional cigarettes or common solvents believed to be used in some e-cigarette formulations. Those molecules are: benzanthracene, benzopyrene, 1-hydroxypyrene, o-toluidine, 2-napthylamine. The patients self-reported abstinence from traditional cigarettes for at least six months prior to the specimen collection.
Twelve of the thirteen samples from e-cigarette users tested positive for two of the carcinogenic compounds: o-toluidine, and 2-napthylamine. All samples from the ten control patients tested negative for the five molecules. The other three carcinogens were not identified in any samples.
Tarin explained that the two molecules identified have "been studied for a very long time, mostly in environmental exposures. They're known to be in people who smoked tobacco and used conventional cigarettes. O-toluidine, and 2-napthylamine are known to be bladder cancer-causing agents."
Additionally, nine of the thirteen e-cigarette users reported being long term nonsmokers, greater than twelve months.
Tarin also pointed out that the thirteen e-cigarette users were surveyed and "every single one thought there were no harmful, deleterious side effects in electronic cigarettes. While they probably are a safer alternative to smoking, they are not completely safe. And that's what we're trying to show here. Compared to our control group of non-smoker, non-electronic cigarette users, [e-cigarette users] had higher levels of these bladder carcinogens."
Researchers determined that further studies should clarify the safety profile of e-cigarettes and their contribution to the risk of bladder cancer, given the higher concentration of carcinogenic compounds in the urine of the e-cigarette users in this study. "It will be important to try and quantify in the long-term, to see what is the actual effects on bladder cancer, or patients who have bladder cancer," Tarin noted. "The issue is, there are kids that are doing this. We don't want to be 50 years down the road, saying, 'Oh my god, we thought this was safe, but actually there's a problem.'"

Five captains took out 20 members of the Oakwood Striper Club meeting at 5:30am Saturday morning at Oakwood Bait and Tackle. Most boats launched at Old Federal park and headed out in different directions. My boat captain Shaun took us to the mouth of Young Deer creek. As soon as he cut the big motor we were surrounded by Stripers. Not being ready to put out the spread of downlines we quickly moved past the school. Circling back and ready, a Striper nailed the rod I was manning. After a long fight the Striper broke off the leader. I baited back up and set the depth of the Downline to 30′ again. After just a few minutes another Striper hit my line and it was Fish On, again. I did get this one in.
Captain Shaun shared our catch with the other captains inviting them to get on the school. As quickly as the others could come by the school of Stripers moved on.
After fun fishing until noon, all boats headed back to OBT to share stories and have venison burgers from the grill thanks to Dillon Greeson, owner of OBT.
