NASA has rolled its fourth space-rated space shuttle, OV-104 Atlantis, to launch pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a three-mile trip, ahead of her July 8 mission to the International Space Station.
The space shuttle will carry the Raffaello multipurpose logistics module to deliver supplies, logistics and spare parts to the International Space Station during the STS-135 mission, which is the last planned space shuttle mission since STS-1. The mission will close the 30-year Space Shuttle Program.
The mission will also fly a system to investigate the potential for robotically refueling existing spacecraft and return a failed ammonia pump module to help NASA better understand the failure mechanism and improve pump designs for future systems.
Atlantis is to fly the 12-day mission with four crew members: Commander Christopher Ferguson, Pilot Douglas Hurley and Mission Specialists Sandra Magnus and Rex Walheim. The last shuttle mission to fly with just four crew members occurred 28 years before, for STS-6 on April 4, 1983 aboard Space Shuttle Challenger.
The reduced size of four crew size allows the mission to maximize the amount of payload carried to the International Space Station and also allows for a rescue by a Russian Soyuz spacecraft to be performed if necessary.
On Tuesday at 8 pm EDT, space shuttle Atlantis began its track from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Kennedy Space Center's Launch Pad 39A. But due to a minor hydraulic leak on a corner valve for the jacking and elevation system on the crawler-transporter, the final move was delayed by 40 minutes.
After technicians repaired a minor hydraulic leak on a corner valve, the first motion of the rollout started at 8:42 pm EDT. The crawler-transporter (CT) with Atlantis and its mobile launcher platform on top temporarily stopped about half way before completing the move that allowed technicians to preemptively grease some bearings in the CT that were starting to heat up.
While Endeavour was landing, crews rolled Atlantis to Launch Pad 39A a few miles from the Shuttle Landing Facility. The space shuttle Endeavour landed at Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 2:34 am EDT after completing the 16-day STS-134 mission to the International Space Station.

PROFORM Classic Festival – Night of Champions 2013Tashkent, UzbekistanApril 13, 2013
It was a roaring night. Night that will be remembered for a long time … The Night of Champions!
There are still a lot of dramatic events and exciting moments – the festival of power sports by PROFORM Classic is in full swing. But for real fans of bodybuilding the most important thing such as the battle of the best athletes of Uzbekistan and Flex Wheeler has been happened. Together at one hall of the Turkistan palace. And even on the same scene, if not as a battle for the title, but only at the awarding ceremony with Flex Wheeler! A legend of the world bodybuilding is in Tashkent. It incredibly sharpened the struggle, and the intensity of emotions of auditorium periodically tests the cooling system. But the athletes themselves … they just melt on the scene as the chocolate figures, shimmering and sparkling under the searing lights and hot look of their fans.
But not only Flex Wheeler and tournament winners were the heroes of this day. Specifically for the tournament, "Night of Champions", the delegation of the International Federation WBPF \ ABBF headed by Mr. Datuk Paul Chua, General secretary and European representatives Mrs. Ildiko Buranits, Maris Sveiduks and Talap Imatalievym, the executive director of the Kazakh federation arrived. In a festive atmosphere, and a never-ending applause, they present an official letters of the entry of the National Federation to the international organization to Mr. Dmitry Adisman, the president of Uzbek Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness and Mr. Timur Sabirov, the Vice President. Furthermore, the executive staff and panel of judges of the National Federation were awarded with certificates and diplomas by WBPF and personally Flex Wheeler.
And then began something that throughout the year, preparing all the fans of bodybuilding of Uzbekistan, mentally and physically. Ten of the strongest on the stage and in the first few minutes, even the most experienced judges tried to fix the picture in mind, grabbing some fragments of this kaleidoscope of biceps, quadriceps and presses that suddenly filled all visible space. Well, the audience … The audience exploded just at the sight of all this incredible pile of muscles! Fans voices were breaking, trying to call out the name of a favorite athlete, and at the same time making it clear – strangers, casual onlookers is not here. Only those for whom the bodybuilding and fitness – is a lifestyle and favorite hobby!
After the first "pressing", six athletes were left and, suddenly, by the command of DJ Azamat, jumping off the podium, they were on the very edge of the stage. Full light, powerful music and the onslaught of muscles at the same time hit the stalls. Momentary confusion and another wave of audience emotions, rushing with the gallery, pressed them back to the platform, where a moment later turned serious fight for the final.
And then, finally, the three athletes that have passed through the first two rounds. Their names are known to all lovers of bodybuilding of Uzbekistan, but now they are known to Flex Wheeler, who applauded them, do not hide delight. Habibullo Nizamov, Pavell Umurzakov and Armen Pashikyan. Charged as racing cars and tensed as the Titans, holding up the vault of heaven, they are confident of victory. Each in his own. At this point, the force of logic has no power over the power of passion, dreams, and faith. But, the truth is always the same, and the winner, too. His fate is in the hands of the jury and, as always, impartially his verdict – bronze is awarded to big Xabi, our domestic Schwarzenegger, whose chiseled muscles and amazing weight does not impress anyone, including judges. Summed up the leg, stopping the progress of the spirit away from his goal. When that same thing happened with Flex Wheeler, he was able to overcome this disadvantage, and just in one year, turned his shin of confounding factors into the object of pride. I'm sure Habibullo knows what to do and next time nothing will stop him on his way to the top.
Silver was given to Pavel Umurzakov. As during the last night of Champions … It would seem that it in the habit .. Then we are also delighted with the form and skills of the participants, hitherto not seen in our area. Unfortunately, the progress is inexorable. Now we look at the results already with the new, higher position. Do you remember how you looked at your first iPhone? Let's imagine that in front of you is a line of Galaxy 4, but different shades. And Pasha also made a stunning breakthrough. He was not the same, worn out fighting, and dried to the bone Spartacus, plunged into shock all the fans. He dramatically increased the diagonal and now his body was not just turned from red wood and cast titanium. Shoulders, arms, hips – all just mounds and rolled, in anticipation of the last fight. But improvised posing has completed the final picture of the renewed body of Paul Umurzakov.
What prevented him to snatch victory in this fight? Perhaps, that the judges are used to seeing him as a dried parchment, with dazzling separation and pressure, which could be rolled up under the ribs. May be the back, and the whole rear of the body that are not ripe for explosive growth in the facade. Or maybe it was Armen Pashikyan, who immediately showed everyone that the title of overall winner and strongest athletes of Uzbekistan, held them over the last year, do not give to anyone, even if it means he will have to fight for real. His lightning strikes through the air, flips and splits during random posing lucidly informed pledged deep essence in them to all the competitors and judges. Well, Flex Wheeler, who knows and loves to demonstrate his flexibility and application side of muscles in combat, of course, got a lot of pleasure from the spectacle.
Then of course, there were many flowers and greetings, cash prizes and gifts. There were stunning girls from PROFORM, without whom this festival would be too masculine, as well as there were various shows and a little understatement. As an interesting show, when at the end of the next series is already looking to continue waiting, trying to see into the future. What will happen next? What famous athletes will make, what new monsters of mass we will see on scene, and of course – who "beat" and be able to win Pashikyan? But it's already the next time …

A roundup of economic news from around the Web.
—Jobs: Tim Duy points out some grim jobs numbers. " Consider that the US economy remains about 7 million jobs shy of the previous peak of nonfarm payrolls. At 200k jobs a month – a seemingly optimistic forecast at this point – we regain the peak in about 35 months. We are already (believe it or not) 23 months into the expansion, which means that we recover the jobs lost in this cycle after a 57 month expansion. Now consider this: The average post-WWII expansion is only 59 months. If this expansion is typical, then we can expect just 2 months of job growth beyond the previous peak before the next recession hits."
—Debt Limit Constitutionality: Bruce Bartlett says the 14th amendment makes the debt limit unconstitutional. "A more radical solution, Plan B, would be to simply disregard the debt limit altogether on constitutional grounds, an idea I suggested in The Fiscal Times on April 29. University of Baltimore law professor Garrett Epps made a similar suggestion in The Atlantic on May 4. The essence of the argument involves section 4 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which reads: "The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned." In my view and that of Prof. Epps, this means that the president would have constitutional authority to take extraordinary measures to protect the public credit and prevent a debt default even if it means disregarding the debt limit, which is statutory law subordinate to the Constitution. I now feel even more strongly that the Fourteenth Amendment trumps the debt limit."
— Germany and Greece: Derek Scott says Germany will be the big loser from continued Greek bailouts. "Holding the current [European monetary union] together requires transfers ("gifts") from the current account surplus countries to those with deficits, so the latter are spared the cost of attempting to restore competitiveness through deflation. In effect, this means transfers in perpetuity from Germany, not dissimilar to the transfers to East Germany but on a far larger scale. This would wreck Germany's economy and its public finances. Germany's politicians seem blind to the implications of its policies: more "austerity" and "more lending". The former will make things worse and the latter just postpones the reckoning. The cost to Germany of default now and rescuing its banking system is certainly less than after further depression and later default by Greece and other peripheral nations. Political turmoil in Greece is one thing, but when the German people understand the cul-de-sac into which their leaders have taken them in the name of "Europe" the repercussions will be more serious. Emu is a disaster for Europe and Germany."

This method is equivalent to the OECD TG 404 (2002).
In the preparation of this updated method special attention was given to possible improvements in relation to animal welfare concerns and to the evaluation of all existing information on the test substance in order to avoid unnecessary testing in laboratory animals. This method includes the recommendation that prior to undertaking the described in vivo test for corrosion/irritation of the substance, a weight-of-the-evidence analysis be performed on the existing relevant data. Where insufficient data are available, they can be developed through application of sequential testing. The testing strategy includes the performance of validated and accepted in vitro tests and is provided as an Annex to this method. In addition, where appropriate, the successive, instead of simultaneous, application of the three test patches to the animal in the initial in vivo test is recommended.
In the interest of both sound science and animal welfare, in vivo testing should not be undertaken until all available data relevant to the potential dermal corrosivity/irritation of the substance have been evaluated in a weight-of-the-evidence analysis. Such data will include evidence from existing studies in humans and/or laboratory animals, evidence of corrosivity/irritation of one or more structurally related substances or mixtures of such substances, data demonstrating strong acidity or alkalinity of the substance, and results from validated and accepted in vitro or ex vivo tests. This analysis should decrease the need for in vivo testing for dermal corrosivity/irritation of substances for which sufficient evidence already exists from other studies as to those two endpoints.
A preferred sequential testing strategy, which includes the performance of validated and accepted in vitro or ex vivo tests for corrosion/irritation, is included as an Annex to this Method. The strategy was developed at, and unanimously recommended by the participants of, an OECD workshop, and has been adopted as the recommended testing strategy in the Globally Harmonised System for the Classification of Chemical Substances (GHS). It is recommended that this testing strategy be followed prior to undertaking in vivo testing. For new substances it is the recommended stepwise testing approach for developing scientifically sound data on the corrosivity/irritation of the substance. For existing substances with insufficient data on dermal corrosion/irritation, the strategy should be used to fill missing data gaps.

The weathermen were not wrong. Well, they weren't completely wrong. It did snow all day, but I don't think we ended up with as much snow as they said there was going to be.
It started pretty early this morning.
And then it just kept falling.
It isn't supposed to stop until around 1am.
The real bummer is that it's enough snow to keep me from driving (my non-4wd car) to the Turkey Trot tomorrow. Not that it would be a lot of fun to run 5 miles in the 3+ inches of slush that are on the roads right now. I can only imagine how cold and wet my feet would be!
Technically this race will be my first DNS (did not start) which is lame, but on the bright side, it isn't a DNS because of an injury.
I got the charm to go on my Motivate Wrap today.
They have a lot of cute jewelry, you can check them out HERE.
Tonight I learned that not only are my waterproof boots no longer waterproof, they have almost no traction. No, I didn't fall, but there were a couple of close calls.
So now I'm drinking some of my favorite tea (pretty much the only tea I drink) and perusing shoe websites while I watch Willy Wonka (the original, because as much as I love Johnny Depp, the new one is weird).
We (and by we I mostly mean Tom) are in charge of bringing cranberry sauce and some roasted veggies for dinner tomorrow, so we're pretty low key as far as Thanksgiving prep goes.
Bummer about the race!! I'll run in about anything but I am a huge wimp when it comes to driving in the snow. It is very pretty though!
A lot of it was the driving - the race was somewhere I haven't been, so driving there in the dark/snow didn't sound really appealing. I ended up watching a movie with Tom and sleeping in instead. I don't feel bad about missing the race.
It's always tough choosing if I want to do a race based on weather conditions. Honestly I've always chose to do them (mostly because I don't want to lose my money) and I've never regretted it! I just wrote about studded shoes on my blog today, if you have some screws and a drill you should try to make shoes for running tomorrow! No matter what, stay safe and warm and enjoy your thanksgiving tomorrow!
Honestly, a lot of it was driving there, though when I looked out the window this morning I did think "I'm glad I'm not running (and probably falling) in that right now.
Have a great run and a great Thanksgiving!

Павел Брендл (;  23 березня 1983, Опочно, Чехословаччина) — чеський хокеїст, який з 2012 року, виступав, зокрема за 36 Скаліцу, Зволен.

Кар'єра
Павел Брендл розпочав кар'єру хокеїста в ХК «Оломоуць», що виступав у 1 лізі чеського чемпіонату з хокею в 1998 році. Після виступу на чемпіонаті Європи U-18, Павел переїхав до Північної Америки, де виступає за «Калгарі Хітмен» із Західної хокейної ліги.

У свій перший рік нападник є лідером у ЗХЛ і вивів свою команду у фінал Меморіального кубку. Від ЗХЛ та Канадської хокейної ліги отримав нагороди, зокрема такі, як вищу нагороду КХЛ як найперспективніший гравець, Джим Пігготта Меморіал Трофі та увійшов до команди зірок ліги. «Нью-Йорк Рейнджерс» обрав Брендла в драфті НХЛ 1999 у першому раунді. В наступному сезоні ЗХЛ, він набрав 111 пунктів (59 + 52) і став найкращим бомбардиром своєї команди. Після закінчення сезону в ЗХЛ, перейшов до фарм-клубу «Нью-Йорк Рейнджерс», «Гартфорд Вульв Пек» в Американській хокейній лізі, де він провів лише два матчі плей-оф. Свій третій сезон за «Калгарі Хітмен», в матчах регулярного чемпіонату зіграв 49 матчів (40 + 39), плей-оф сім голів і шість передач в десяти іграх.

У серпні 2001 року разом з Яном Главачем та Кімом Йонссоном, був обміняний в «Філадельфію», на Еріка Ліндроса. Більшу частину сезону 2001/02 років провів за фарм-клуб «Флайєрс» «Філадельфія Фантомс» в АХЛ. Свій перший повний сезон в НХЛ, він провів у наступному сезоні, провівши 42 гри за «Флайєрс» (набрав 12 очок, 5 + 7) та в «Кароліна Гаррікейнс» — 8 матчів, одна передача. Але не зміг закріпитись в «Кароліні» і перейшов до клубу АХЛ «Лоуелл-Лок Монстерс». Під час локауту в НХЛ 2004/05 років, Брендл грав за європейські клуби: «Оцерларжи», «Оломоуць», «Мальме Редгокс», пізніше за «Йокіпойат» і зрештою за «Тургау» в Національній лізі B. Після локауту, він повернувся у Лоуелл, а у грудні 2005 року його обміняли на Крістофера Коланоса. Провівши за «Фінікс Койотс» в сезоні 2005/06 тільки дві гри, він повертається з Північної Америки до Європи, де підписує контракт зі шведським клубом Елітсерії «Мора ІК». Там він став найкращим бомбардиром сезону 2006/07 — 58 матчів, 59 очок (35 + 24). Крім того, успішно виступив на Кубку Шпенглера 2006, став найкращим бомбардиром турніру 7 (4+3) і обраний до команди усіх зірок.

Після річного контракту з «Мора ІК», укладає трирічний контракт з іншим клубом Елітсерії «Брюнесом». Однак, він залишив «Брюнес» по закінченні сезону, щоб виступати в новоствореній Континентальній хокейній лізі за «Торпедо» (Нижній Новгород) — 110 матчів, 87 очок (62 + 25). На початку сезону 2010/11 перейшов до клубу КалПа (Куопіо), фінська СМ-ліга, в листопаді 2010 року переходить у Нафтохімік в КХЛ. У кінці сезону, його контракт не був продовжений. З листопада 2011 року і до кінця сезону грає за Рапперсвіль-Йона Лейкерс. Наприкінці травня 2012 року було оголошено, що Брендл повертається в ХК «Пардубіце» з сезону 2012/13 уклавши однорічний контракт.

Згодом у 2013—2016 роках по сезону відіграв за німецький «Вайсвассер» та словацькі команди 36 Скаліца і Зволен.

Кар'єра (збірні)
Павел Брендл виступав за збірну Чехії U-18 на чемпіонаті Європи 1998 року та за молодіжну збірну на чемпіонаті світу з хокею в 2001 році, де він став чемпіоном світу. У цьому турнірі, також обраний до команди усіх зірок та став найкращий нападаючим. У 2006 році грав за національну збірну, що брала участь у Кубку Карьяла в Фінляндії.

Q: Covariance between a random variable and an its corresponding indicator random variable Let $X$ be a random variable from a uniform distribution $\mathrm{Unif}[1,2]$ and $U = h(X) = \begin{cases}1, & X < 5/4 \\ 0, & \mathrm{else}\end{cases}$
I want to find the covariance by using the expectation values of $X$, $U$ and $UX$.
I am having trouble finding the expectation value $\mathbb{E}[UX]$ since I'd have to calculate
$$\int_{-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} ux f_{UX}(u,x) \mathrm{d}u\mathrm{d}x$$
but I can't get the joint pdf. Since $u$ depends on $x$ in a deterministic way, does it even make sense to talk about a joint pdf?
On the other hand, the expectation values of $X$ and $U$ are pretty straight forward being $3/2$ (mean of uniform distribution) and $1/4$ (the probability that $X \leq 5/4)$ respectively.
Thank you

A: The random variable $UX$ does not admit a density as it has a positive probability mass in
$$\mathbb{P}[UX=0]=0.75$$
thus
$$\mathbb{E}[UX]=1.5\times0.25=0.375$$
concluding:
$$\mathbb{Cov}[U,X]=0.375-0.25\times1.5=0$$

Is Hikikomori (Extreme Social Withdrawal) a Global Epidemic?
The need for better diagnostic criteria to define hikikomori takes center stage.
In the late 1990s, just as home computers and internet access were becoming ubiquitous, people in Japan began paying closer attention to a severe form of social withdrawal—marked by the desire to be alone in one's bedroom—that was becoming commonplace among adolescent boys. They called this form of extreme social withdrawal hikikomori.
If someone in Japan becomes a shut-in and avoids the outside world for more than six consecutive months, the Japanese Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry labels it a case of hikikomori. Within Japanese society, the noun hikikomori is also used in the verb form, hikikomoru (ひきこもる). The root of this verb, which means "to confine oneself indoors," comes from hiku ("to pull back") and komuru ("to seclude oneself").
Hikikomori: A Brief History and Timeline
A decade ago, the 2010 edition of the Oxford Dictionary of English included a definition of hikikomori for the first time: "In Japan, the abnormal avoidance of social contact, typically by adolescent males; a person who avoids social contact. Origin: Japanese, literally 'staying indoors, (social) withdrawal.'"
In 2009, The International Journal of Social Psychiatry published a paper, "A New Form of Social Withdrawal in Japan: A Review of Hikikomori," by Alan Teo, which includes a composite sketch of a hypothetical hikikomori patient ("T.M.") that was a synthesis of several real-life cases:
"T.M. is a 19-year-old Japanese who lives with his middle-class parents in a two-bedroom urban apartment. For the last two years he has hardly ever left his room, spending 23 hours a day behind its closed door. He eats food prepared by his mother who leaves trays outside his bedroom. He sleeps all day, then awakes in the evening to spend his time surfing the internet, chatting on online bulletin boards, reading manga (comic books), and playing video games."
Tamaki Saitō, a Japanese psychologist who specializes in puberty and adolescence, is credited with making hikikomori a household word in his homeland.
In 1998, he published a book, Hikikomori: Adolescence Without End, which became a bestseller in Japan. Saitō estimates that hikikomori was already affecting an epidemic proportion of adolescents and young adults in Japan by the late-20th century.
In 2013, Saitō's book was translated into English. This sparked widespread debate about the cause, diagnostic criteria, and extent of extreme social withdrawal among adolescents and other age groups in Japan and around the globe.
A recent paper (Kato, Kanbe, and Teo, 2020), published online January 10 in the journal World Psychiatry, proposes a clearer and more consistent international diagnostic criteria for hikikomori, which the authors view as a 21st-century global phenomenon.
Senior author Alan Teo is currently a researcher and associate professor of psychiatry at the Oregon Health & Science University School of Medicine in the U.S. and a psychiatrist in the Veteran Administration's Portland Health Care System.
"There is a cultural issue within the house of medicine whereby we don't pay attention to [extreme social withdrawal] and don't think it is in our lane to deal with," Teo said in a news release. "Spending time online can be damaging when it substitutes for interacting with people face to face. Those person-to-person social relationships are a critical aspect of mental health. Your social life is critical to your quality of life—yet in health care, we often forget to think about that. A person's day-to-day social life is really what brings them meaning and value."
In their most recent (2020) paper, Alan Teo and co-authors Takahiro Kato and Shigenobu Kanba of Kyushu University in Japan propose new, universal diagnostic criteria for hikikomori and a framework for defining pathological social withdrawal in the digital age.
"[Hikikimori] has shifted in recent years from being viewed as a typical Japanese problem to an issue that may have global health implications. This shift has been driven by increasing evidence of hikikomori in epidemiologic studies, clinical case series and media reports from around the world," the authors write. "As attention to hikikomori grows across cultures and countries, so does the importance of establishing a clear and consistent definition of the disorder."
Diagnostic Criteria for Hikikomori by Kato, Kanba, and Teo (2020)
Individuals who occasionally leave their home (2‐3 days/week), rarely leave their home (1 day/week or less), or rarely leave a single room may be characterized as mild, moderate or severe, respectively. Individuals who leave their home frequently (4 or more days/week), by definition, do not meet criteria for hikikomori. Also, the estimated continuous duration of social withdrawal should be noted. Individuals with a duration of at least 3 (but not 6) months of social isolation should be classified as pre‐hikikomori.
The requirement for avoidance of social situations and relationships has been removed. In our interviews assessing individuals for hikikomori, they commonly report having few meaningful social relationships and little social interaction, but deny avoiding social interaction. Many clinicians often wonder about what distinguishes hikikomori from social anxiety disorder, and this lack of avoidance is one of the primary differences.
Stress or functional impairment should be carefully evaluated. Our in‐depth clinical interviews with people with hikikomori have revealed that many actually feel content in their social withdrawal, particularly in the earlier phase of the condition. Patients frequently describe a sense of relief at being able to escape from the painful realities of life outside the boundaries of their home. However, as the duration of social withdrawal gets longer, most people with hikikomori begin endorsing distress, such as feelings of loneliness.
We have removed other psychiatric disorders as an exclusion criterion for hikikomori. In our view, the frequency of co‐occurring [mental health] conditions increases the importance of addressing extreme social withdrawal as a health issue. It is possible that hikikomori (pathological social withdrawal) co‐occurs with a variety of psychiatric disorders.
"With advances in digital and communication technologies that provide alternatives to in‐person social interaction, hikikomori may become an increasingly relevant concern," the authors conclude. "We hope that these simplified diagnostic criteria may help standardize evaluation and encourage cross‐cultural comparison of hikikomori."

I note that in the example used his mother was delivering food to his room. This is very strange.
I wonder what would happen if family members refused to participate in the isolation by refusing to do anything for the (we will say adult, children who participate in this behavior may need different solutions) family member (to include shopping for them and feeding them) and not accepting delivery of food that is ordered via cell phone or computer.
Would the person starve to death in their room or eventually come out for nourishment?

"Three people on our dairy handle all the breeding — Rick and Ingrid Portena and Jesse Boyd. We have alternating weekends between Rick, Ingrid, and Jesse," said Rick Portena from Pendora Dairy of Monkton, Ontario, Canada. "We breed twice a day — in the morning and after the afternoon milking," explained the first-time Platinum winner of the Dairy Cattle Reproduction Council's (DCRC) annual awards competition.
"We have a 'friendly' competition between each other to determine who beats who in conception rate (first breeding, cows, overall, and heifers)," added his wife, Ingrid, with a smile.
Holmesville Dairy, Argyle, Wis.: We have Genex do our A.I. breeding. We breed our cows once a day, usually mid-morning. We don't have any trained farm personnel to do the breeding.
Rollin' Green Dairy, Brooklyn, Wis.: Jeff does a majority of the breeding, about 80 percent. Jason Goke, our technician from East Central Select Sires, does the remainder. Usually, the technician comes on ovsynch days. Time off is usually handled with everyone else watching for heat, while the technician handles the breeding. Most of the breeding is done in the mornings, with the only exception being when a cow shows first signs of heat in the late morning after chores, then she will be serviced that night.
On a side note . . . although Jeff does a majority of the repro and herdsmen work at our farm, a lot of credit is due to the rest of the family and hired help. It is truly a team effort in running the entire operation.
Schilling Farms, Darlington, Wis.: Cows and heifers are bred once every day by Genex. Once-a-day service is provided by lead technician Tim Heiring with Kyle Kass and others providing relief and assisting on ovsynch breeding days.
Seidl's Mountain View Dairy, Luxemburg, Wis.: We have in-house personnel do A.I. breeding. Two herdsmen handle duties and alternate weeks. Most breeding is done on Thursday morning within 16 hours of administering the Wednesday afternoon GnRH. Services to standing heats follow the AM-PM breeding rule.
Victory Farms, Milbank, S.D.: Breeding is done in-house. We have three technicians who breed cows, so they relieve each other. We breed once a day.


Late July, 2012 – From Darby, Montana, we met up with our friends and joined them on their annual trip to their favorite fishing hole tucked away in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest in Montana's Big Hole River Valley.
They had often told us how beautiful this spot was, but it wasn't until we stood there gazing at the mountains and feeling like we'd walked into the photos of a coffee table book that we really understood their affection for this place.
The mountains were still decorated with snow from last winter and the lazy, wandering stream reflected the trees and skies from every angle.
We weren't really there for the fishing, but the opportunities for photos were endless. We found a spot for the fifth wheel in a meadow and felt like we were settling into a private oasis that was all our own.
In nearby Jackson, Montana, a tiny town that is really just a handful of small buildings on the main drag, we discovered a unique community built on special, natural hot springs. These hot springs are very hot, and we discovered they provide hot water and heating for many of the buildings in town.
We wandered into the Jackson Hot Springs Lodge where there is an inviting swimming pool filled with water from the hots springs. The water flows in one end and out the other, and provides an awesome place for a warm soak in between.
A gal testing the non-chlorinated water in the pool told us this a favorite place among locals in the wintertime. Big Hole is one of the coldest spots in Montana and winter temps hover around -20 F. But the hot springs still gush water at about 135 F. The water cools just enough before it reaches the pool to be very soothing.
We were told the folks in town tend to live longer than most people, and kids just love the pool when the decking is covered in snow. When they pop their heads out of the water in January they can mold their quickly freezing hair into mohawks, antlers and funny shapes.
At the old fashioned Jackson Mercantile we noticed a photo on the wall of a big beautiful ketch under sail. The clerk told us her husband had been one of the lavish yacht's builders years ago in Seattle.
It was called "Venturosa," was a whopping 103 feet long, and had been built by a millionaire as an anniversary gift for his wife. (Gee, I'm happy just going out for dinner!). Tragically, she fell ill before it was finished and never set foot on the boat — in fact, she never even knew it existed.
Back at camp, our friends Bob, Cole, Christopher and Todd had caught a bucketload of fish, and Bob's wife Donna Lea fried them up into a delicious feast. This brook fishing was pretty different than the fishing we had done off our boat in Mexico — there weren't any 3 foot long fish in the bucket today — but the end result was just as tasty, if not moreso.
Todd & Bandit take us to a beautiful meadow.
There are lots of trails to explore in this area, and Mark snuck out at sunrise and often disappeared again around sunset to capture whatever he could find on camera. I joined him a few times and we were treated to some gorgeous views. In the evenings we got to enjoy the scenery all over again as we reviewed our hundreds of shots on the computer.
One day our friend Todd and his dog Bandit led us on a trail to a spot he'd found that was particularly scenic. We returned several times, finding a perfect, classic spider web and a delicate stalk of grass bent over by the weight of dew drops, as well 360 degrees of beautiful views.
A happy week in this tranquil paradise quickly slipped by. It seemed that time had stood still. However, we eventually emerged from these scenic woods, said goodbye to our friends, and continued down the road, ready for a new chapter of in-town exploration in Dillon, Montana.

Health orgs set to invest $7 billion in robotics in AsiaPac, IDC says
Healthcare providers' spending on robotics in Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) reached $3.73 billion in 2019 and forecasted to top $7 billion by 2022, according to a report from IDC Healthcare Insights.
The Robotics in Healthcare-Benefits and Opportunities report noted that robots embedded with artificial intelligence (AI) would revolutionize the future of healthcare.
Use cases include medical transportation robots, surgery assistance, companion and social robots for therapeutic applications, waste disposal robots and pharmacy automation robots.
Machines equipped with deep learning and AI will also be able to gather and process data faster, and are expected to take over pattern-based diagnosis in pathology and radiology.
THE BIGGER TREND
A 2016 report from Tractica forecast healthcare robots would top 10,500 units per year by 2021, with more than 38,400 cumulative units shipped during that period.
As the technology matures, robotics will result in value-based health system, the report projects, noting that robotics embedded with AI would not threat to physicians, but would instead improve efficiency in their respective fields of work.
"Robotics in healthcare must be welcomed as an essential future," Manoj Vallikkat, research manager at IDC Asia/Pacific Healthcare Insights, said in a statement. "The effective adoption of robotics will augment physician efficiency, eliminate medical errors, plug care gaps, and enable bigger patient volume to access high-precision care delivery."
Vallikkat added that reducing healthcare costs while improving quality are necessary for treating larger numbers of people.
"As the region faces multiple challenges, better reinvention will take place as part of a tactical approach. All these reinventions will be built on the technological platform, with robotics expected to play a significant role."
WHAT IT MEANS AROUND THE GLOBE
According to a January report from BIS Research, North America is currently the leading contributor to the global healthcare robotics market, valued at $3.51 billion in 2017.
Aging populations and established healthcare infrastructure are driving the growth of the healthcare robotics market in North America, and the report noted the Europe region is expected to grow at an impressive growth rate, during the period from 2018 to 2023.
While surgical robots are currently the largest application market and will lead in terms of unit shipments during the forecast period, Tractica anticipated that they will be eclipsed by exoskeletons and prosthetics by the end of the period.

20 Poets features poetry from all the authors from series 1 & 2 of Cordite Books. It's free, and it's intended to be given away as widely as possible.
This anthology is a mélange of the experimental and the lyrical, written by poets in all stages of their careers, and reflects the cultural vibrancy that fuels contemporary Australian letters.
While 20 Poets, including its translations (into the Hindi and the Spanish in 2018), may have a once-off print run for a given festival or event, it will predominantly be distributed as an electronic book in portable document format. Central to Cordite Books and its authors is the visual appearance of the work, and the ways in which positive and negative space are engaged across a verso–recto spread. Read it on as large a screen as possible, in two-page view display, to deliver the intended look of the poetry.
Each poet included here is represented by four pages of poetry and the preface from their Cordite book. Many of the publications are book-length poems, and this inclusion provides a greater context for the work. These four pages are allotted to display the range and style of each poet.
Without question, future iterations of this book will see new titles – 30 Poets, 40 Poets – but here we are at the beginning: you, me and the twenty authors collected here. Enjoy the work, and please seek out a print book or two if you are particularly bewitched by what you read.
I was looking for ways to represent 20 and was stuck on mathematical things – grids, lines, counting – which resulted in patterns. Poetry book covers often end up with patterns on them, and I didn't want that.
I thought of 10 fingers and 10 toes, but feet and hands can be ugly. Then I thought about hands signing 2 and 0 – I remembered seeing a typeface with hand signs, so I found it to see what typing out '20 poems cordite 17' (20 letters) looked like on a grid.
Although the anthology is not about deafness or signing in any way, I made a fleeting conceptual link between poetry and sign language – each demands close attention to the rhythm and pace of the signs / letterforms, and the spaces and pauses between them. I've always been fascinated by how important the facial expressions are in sign language – if you ignore the emotion expressed, and just look at the hand signals, you risk misunderstanding the nuance. Likewise, if you read poetry literally … you miss the nuance.

Trevor Bayne returns to the driver's seat of the No. 6 Roush Fenway Racing Ford in the NASCAR Cup Series for Sunday's Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway in California. Matt Kenseth has been in the car for the last five races, beginning with the Monster Energy All-Star Race exhibition event at Charlotte Motor Speedway in May and the four most recent points-paying races.
Upon his return to racing in NASCAR's top series, Bayne told ESPN his confidence was renewed during his break as he watched Kenseth experience the same struggles behind the wheel.
The two drivers' average finishes in their stints have been similar to boot. The No. 6 team averaged a 24.7-place finish in Bayne's 11 starts this season, while Kenseth's average finish in his four points-paying races in the No. 6 is 24.8.
Bayne started the 2018 season expecting to be the full-time driver of the No. 6, just as he had been the previous three seasons, and drove the car in the first 11 races. But with the goal of improving performance of the organization in the Cup Series, Roush Fenway Racing owner Jack Roush hired Kenseth to share driving duties of the No. 6 car for the remainder of the season. Kenseth began his NASCAR premier-series career with RFR, winning series Rookie of the Year honors in 2000 and the series championship in 2003. He competed full-time in the series through the 2017 season when he was released by Joe Gibbs Racing in favor of Erik Jones. As a result, Kenseth began the 2018 season on the sidelines.
Bayne is expected to be behind the wheel for the next three races at Sonoma, Chicagoland Speedway, and Daytona International Speedway before Kenseth returns for four consecutive races.
Bayne's contract with RFR is supposed to carry him through the 2019 season, but he also expected to have full-time status in 2018. So Bayne doesn't know what his racing future holds.


Can you imagine Vienna during the construction of the Ringstraße? The whole area was a construction site for many years. Fortifications being demolished, buildings under construction everywhere, and plans for more construction being prepared. During this period, many architects made a name for themselves building several buildings and leaving their mark in the city. One of those who distinguished himself was the Danish Architect Theophil von Hansen. After many years working in Athens he moved to Vienna in 1846 and became a prolific architect in his own right. Hansen's time in Athens influenced his vision of colors, materials, and forms and this inspiration is evident in his buildings. Hansen's first public building on the Ringstraße was the Börse (the Stock Exchange) where he successfully prevented, most of the time, budget constraints, agreed plans, or timelines from stopping him in pursuing his ideas of splendor. He even used his own money to cover the costs of works that he believed were necessary for the building. It is because of these ideas that his financiers followed his progress closely as it was believed that "the architect thinks first about the beauty of the building". Hansen could not always prevent outside influence and this led to the use of low-quality material here and there and compromises to the interior design that were necessary to limit the costs. Eventually, after 1 year delay and 1 million gulden over budget, the Börse was ready to be inaugurated by the Kaiser in 1877. The Börse survived the second world war with some damages that were refurbished, but a fire in April 1956 completely destroyed its main hall, which was not restored during reparation works. Today, the Börse does not fulfil the functions for which it was built and instead houses several business offices. Soon you will have a chance to visit the Börse and learn more about its history and architecture while getting a feeling for Hansen's inspiration.

Thank you for good surf board.
Thanks guys. I'm off to check the surf out in France. I'll be back soon. Aloha !!
Whats up Danno. It's the red head covered in sun block. Thanks for the adventure. My shoulders are still sore but standing up for the first time surfing in Hawaii completely blocks it out. Thanks.
I sure am glad I put trust in Hawaii Surfboard Rentals. They assured me before my holidays to Hawaii that I would not only get more than decent surfboards to rent from but that they would be able to get my girlfriend up on a surfboard or her money back. She stood up five times within the first 30 minutes and will remember it forever.


The process will yield amazing pan drippings, which you can use to make a fantastic coffee gravy.
While a super-fat T-bone steak will retain its moistness during grilling, cuts like that are far from economical for families on a budget. That's why we love the coffee marinade, which brings earthy flavor as well as moistness.
As an experiment, we grilled top a round coffee-marinated steak alongside a rib eye steak treated only with dry rub. The top round was half the price, but tasted twice as good, thanks to its little bath in bean juice. Enjoy!
Step 2 – Cover with coffee: Place your steaks in a glass or plastic container and pour enough cold coffee over them to cover. You can use any kind of coffee. Choose one you would enjoy drinking and brew it up fresh. Just make sure you allow the coffee to cool completely before pouring it over the raw meat.
ground sea salt), a dash of pepper, and (optional) a couple of diced scallions or shallots along with a dash of Worcestershire sauce. Cover the container with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 1 to 3 hours. No longer!
Step 4 – Remove and cook: Pull the steaks out of the container and discard the liquid. Do not rinse, simply apply a favorite dry rub. Cook your coffee-marinated steaks on a charcoal or gas grill; or broil the meat in the oven; or follow our amateur sleuth Clare's example in Through the Grinder and cook them on the stovetop. Lightly grease a cast iron (or heavy skillet) with butter or olive oil before cooking.
If using the stovetop method, be sure to save the pan drippings for gravy. For our side dish recipes of Hearty Coffee Gravy and Garlic Mashed Potatoes, turn to the appendix of our 2nd Coffeehouse Mystery, Through the Grinder.
