Now Playing — Skate Kitchen
Director Crystal Moselle's debut feature was a documentary, the acclaimed depiction of isolated, movie-obsessed brothers called The Wolfpack. It is fitting, then, that Moselle's first full-length fiction offering is reliant on the foundational skills of observation and spinning a compelling narrative out of the distinctive individuals she meets when traversing the big world with a keen eye. Skate Kitchen takes its name from a crew of young women skateboarders in New York City who Moselle first encountered by chance, recruiting them for the short film That One Day before fleshing out the material to cover the requite ninety-plus minutes.
The film's protagonist is Camille (Rachelle Vinberg), a reticent eighteen-year-old whose burrowing into skateboarding social media leads her to discover a group of like-minded skateboard sorceresses who careen around the cement oases of Manhattan's Lower East Side. Desperate to break free of her humdrum life — and her disapproving mother (Elizabeth Rodriguez) — Camille strikes out to find her posse. At first, she's little more than a tenderfooted bystander, landing her own sick moves in the skatepark, but mostly deferring when it comes time for other acts of minor delinquency. The heart of Skate Kitchen is the racing parallel tracks of Camille's maturation and self-assurance. There are individual story threads to follow, but the film is less about any one tremulous relationship than the general process of growing up and finding one's place and the people who will make that place consistently better and more welcoming.
Moselle has a shrewd visual sense that properly exploits the kinetics of her kickflipping charges. Even better, she commits to the verbal dynamics with an even more forthright spirit. The young women onscreen discuss the basic emotional and physical logistics of their lives with a frankness that's rare and thrilling. Moselle is credited alongside Jen Silverman and Aslihan Unaldi on the screenplay, but much of the material is unmistakably drawn from genuine interactions between her actresses. The more Skate Kitchen strays from those unguarded moments — the obligatory plot line involving a crush-worthy boy (Jaden Smith) who divides the group is done well enough, but is also predictable and familiar — the less engaging it is. Even when it wavers, though, Skate Kitchen remains engaging and insightful. Moselle's film's strongest attribute is its blazing authenticity. It would take more than some transparent plot machinations to shear that truthfulness away.


What is the Sutherland Trust, and what is our purpose?
The Sutherland Trust exists to stimulate thinking about psychodynamic approaches to health, social care and education.
Our premise is that human-relations ideas and theories which have their origin in psychodynamic thinking can be profoundly helpful to those involved in the delivery of human services. The successful application of theory to practice can lead individuals at all levels of organisation becoming better engaged and deriving more satisfaction from their work. In turn this leads to individuals, organisations and groups becoming more productive and effective.
The Sutherland Trust seeks to promote a better understanding of the place of psychodynamic theory in contemporary public services and civic life, and to stimulate discourse about the contemporary relevance of psychodynamically based human-relations theory. It achieves this aim through the provision of learning and sharing opportunities. The Trust organises lectures and seminars and provides bursaries to individuals.
Psychodynamically based human relations theory has at its core an interest in developing insights about the impact on relationships of internal world representations, an inner emotional life, unconscious defences against anxiety and unconscious group processes.

Seahawks at Eagles final score: Russell Wilson, D.K. Metcalf lead Seattle over Philly in wild-card finale
The Wilson to Metcalf connection was too much for an injury-riddled Philadelphia team to overcome

It was not pretty, and it was probably far more difficult than it should have been, given the circumstances, but the Seattle Seahawks went on the road and beat the Philadelphia Eagles in the final game of the wild card round, prevailing by a 17-9 score.
Seattle took an early lead but never really extended it far enough to put the Eagles away, despite the fact that Philadelphia was working without so many injured players on both defense and offense -- including Carson Wentz, who was concussed during the first quarter. The Seahawks struggled to run the ball all game, yet insisted on running it often. They also took 11 penalties, allowing the Eagles to stay in a game they probably had no business competing in once Wentz went down.
In the end, two players made the difference in the game: Russell Wilson and DK Metcalf. Wilson did his usual thing, making something out of nothing often. But it was Metcalf's breakout game that truly stood out. He scored what ended up being the game-winning touchdown on a 53-yard strike from Wilson. He sealed the game with a similarly-placed 36-yard catch down the field, skying over two Eagles defensive backs to haul it in and allow his team to run out the clock. He ended the game with seven catches for 160 yards and the aforementioned score.
You can listen to the latest episode, where the Superfriends discuss the Eagles-Seahawks game, in the player below, and you can subscribe to the show right here.
The Seattle defense held Philadelphia to just three points, holding Wentz to 1 of 4 passing for three yards before his exit, then sacking Josh McCown six times on 34 dropbacks and pressuring him far more often. Seattle ended the game with seven total sacks, nine QB hits, and 11 tackles for loss. They held the Eagles to 3 of 11 on third down, 0 of 2 on fourth, and 0 of 3 on their red zone trips.
Good quarterback play, explosive wide receiver play, and solid defense is as good a recipe for playoff success as there is in the NFL, and that's what the Seahawks got on Sunday. They'll need it again to win in Green Bay next week.
Why the Seahawks won
Mostly, because they have Russell Wilson. Seattle's run game was completely non-existent in this game, and what little offensive production the team had was almost entirely the result of Wilson's brilliance. He escaped crowded pockets and made plays downfield on several occasions. He made plays with his legs, scrambling six times for 48 yards, including a 22-yard scamper for a huge first down. He made the biggest play of the game, finding DK Metcalf streaking up the seam for a 53-yard score. The Seattle defense should not go unmentioned, though. The front four -- in particular -- did a strong job of keeping pressure on Carson Wentz and Josh McCown all night long. They registered seven sacks, nine quarterback hits, and 11 tackles for loss.
Why the Eagles lost
They were decimated by injuries on offense, and their defense was just shy of good enough to make up for it. Philly came into this game without Lane Johnson, Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson, Nelson Agholor, and Brandon Brooks, while Zach Ertz was playing with a broken rib and a lacerated kidney. By the end of the first quarter, they were also without Carson Wentz. Miles Sanders got banged up on the final play of the first half. There just were not enough threats on the field to truly do damage to the Seattle defense. Meanwhile, Philadelphia's defensive front did an excellent job of bottling up Marshawn Lynch (six carries, seven yards) and Travis Homer (11 carries, 12 yards), but the secondary was torched by DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett (four catches, 62 yards), and gave up additional crucial gains to Lynch and David Moore.
It has to be the Wentz injury, which happened about midway through the first quarter. Wentz attempted to scramble away from Seahawks defensive lineman Jadeveon Clowney, and while he was going to the ground, Clowney clocked him in the back of the head. Wentz's head then banged off the turf, and he was taken into the medical tent and eventually, back to the locker room. He had thrown just four passes and taken only eight snaps before exiting. McCown did an admirable job filling in, considering the circumstances, but pretty much all hope of explosive plays from the Philly offense went out the window when Wentz went down. With nearly all of their perimeter weaponry missing, the Eagles were mostly limited to check-downs to their running backs and tight ends. It's extremely difficult to run an offense that way, and it showed.

The 53-yard touchdown toss to Metcalf. It's a thing of beauty.

Everything about this play works fantastically well.
The Seahawks motion Tyler Lockett from the left side of the formation to the right, snapping the ball while he's crossing the field. Wilson fakes a hand-off to Travis Homer, who chips a rusher on the left side of the line. Lockett draws the attention of the wide side safety, while David Moore's crossing route holds the linebacker underneath.
All of this allows Metcalf to take the top off the defense, splitting two defensive backs to get down the field. Wilson almost overthrows him, but Metcalf has such an enormous catch radius that he's able to haul it on while going to the ground, spring back up to his feet, and tumble into the end zone. Gorgeous.
The Eagles are eliminated from the playoffs. They'll have the No. 21 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. They have needs in the secondary and at wide receiver, and one would assume they'll want to make sure they have a very strong backup quarterback, given that Wentz's last three seasons have now ended in injury.
The Seahawks advance to the divisional round, where they'll meet the Green Bay Packers. That game will be played at Lambeau Field, next Sunday (Jan. 12) at 6:40 p.m. ET.

Identical score of Seahawks 17, Eagles 9 as Week 12, strangely.
— Tim McManus (@Tim_McManus) January 6, 2020
They pass it, and it works. D.K. Metcalf is wide open deep, and he comes down with the jump ball. That's game. Eagles spend their final timeout, stopping the clock, but this one's in the books.
Seahawks get nothing on their first two hand-offs, so it's third-and-long with 1:47 left. Eagles with one timeout remaining. Will Seattle keep it on the ground or take a chance and try to put it away with a pass?
Seattle with a season-high seven sacks in tonight's game. That seventh one might end up being the one that seals this win for them if the Eagles can't get their own stop.
https://twitter.com/lawlornfl/...
McCown is out there doing his best, but man you have to throw the ball there. Take a chance. Throw it up for grabs. Anything but a sack. Ugh.
— Tommy Lawlor (@lawlornfl) January 6, 2020
McCown can't even get the pass off. Sacked while climbing the pocket. So Seattle takes over with 1:56 left. Eagles have three timeouts remaining but will need to hold the Seahawks to a three-and-out.
Eagles are down eight. They're knocking on the door of the end zone. But they need seven yards to pick up a new set of downs. Only two minutes left. Let's see what Doug Pederson has up his sleeve.
We've got another fourth-down try on tap. It'll be fourth-and-7 after the two-minute warning. Season on the line.
Third-and-13 upcoming for the Eagles with just under three minutes left.
McCown unloads on a deep ball to Shelton Gibson, who was just brought back to the active roster this week, and Seattle is flagged for DPI on the incompletion. Easy call. Huge first down for the Eagles.
McCown stays in, avoids a couple would-be sacks, then just barely misses Dallas Goedert over the middle. He's battling to stay in right now.
McCown limping after firing a first down to Dallas Goedert. The Eagles don't have a third QB active, so WR Greg Ward would be the emergency signal-caller.
Can Josh McCown play hero? He'll have 4:56 to try to get the Eagles in the end zone. (And then, of course, go for two to try to tie the game.)
Wilson completes to Hollister on third, but the TE is stopped well short of the sticks. Here comes the Seahawks punt. Eagles will have just under five minutes to make another run at the end zone.
Eagles bring pressure, and Wilson throws it wide toward the right sideline, incomplete. Third-and-12.
Wilson loses the snap on the first play of the drive but hops on top of it. Saved a potential disaster.
Eagles still have all three timeouts and the two-minute warning, but they also can't let Russell Wilson find any wide-open receivers deep downfield. They need a stop ASAP. Seahawks, meanwhile, just need a couple of first downs to ice this one away.
https://twitter.com/JimmyKemps...
Right call to go for it there, good play call, throw not perfect, but close enough. Gotta make that catch.
— Jimmy Kempski (@JimmyKempski) January 6, 2020
Eagles went in four-for-four on fourth-down tries in the playoffs. They're now four-for-five.
Oof. Bad drop by Miles Sanders, who would have had the first down.
That checkdown to Goedert got them into position to go for it on fourth down. Nice job.
Seahawks nearly sack McCown way behind the line, then get him down after he eludes Jarran Reed. Third-and-11 for the Eagles from just outside the 30, and Philly false starts. Brutal.
McCown sneaks it for a new set of downs. Clock ticking below nine minutes as Eagles look to break this eight-point deficit apart.
Correction: He was short of the first. Third-and-inches for the Eagles upcoming.

On Tuesday next week the NSW Parliament will debate legislation to enable a 75 year lease to be issued for the Snowy 2 pump storage power development inside Kosciuszko National Park. The proposal is still at the exploration stage, and may not be viable, but if it proceeds it will seriously damage our largest National Park. The Colong Foundation for Wilderness calls on all political parties to reject this bill and instead develop a genuine green power policy that protects our precious national parks.
"The NSW Greens will support the Snowy 2 legislation to prioritise the urgent need for dispatchable green power. Their stance marks a growing trend toward toleration of national park development, with three hydro-power projects mooted in NSW national parks," Keith Muir director of the Colong Foundation for Wilderness said.
"It is morally wrong to develop green energy infrastructure in national parks. It is wrong for the same reason it's wrong to graze stock in a national park, or log them, flood them, or fill them full of feral animals. It is also wrong to clear ski runs of granite tors and snow gums, and it is wrong to do all these things because national parks are set aside for nature," Mr Muir said.
"We are bad making choices that are wrecking protected wilderness and this is another serious symptom of our political dysfunction", Mr Muir said.
"The NSW Greens are demonstrating political maturity. And they may be adopting the lesser of two evils with Snowy 2, but where is their national energy policy that protects national parks? Where are we going, and what political map are we using, does anybody know? ", Mr Muir asks.
"After this horrid week, it's time to again relocate ourselves on the energy policy map and confirm where it's taking us. Surely we must use the report on 22,000 potential pump-storage project sites for dispatchable green power prepared by the Australian National University that were identified outside national parks," he said.
"All political parties need a sustainable green energy policy that does not wreck national parks. Loss of national parks for green energy is bad policy and political parties can and must do better", said Mr Muir.

Jaya kin to move court over Poes Garden memorial plan
Chennai: Former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa's niece Deepa and brother Deepak have said the AIADMK government cannot take any decision on their own to convert their aunt's Poes Gardens into a memorial without consulting them.
The duo claimed they were the Jayalalithaa's blood relations and that the Poes Garden residence belonged to them.
Opposing the state government's plan to convert Jayalalithaa's residence into a memorial, Deepa said she would take legal recourse against this. "Legal notice should be given if the government wants to take over an individual property," Deepa said.
Deepak said though they might be willing to give their aunty's property for memorial, the government should follow the procedure established under law before taking over the house.
He claimed that he and his sister were `the only legal heirs under the Hindu Succession Act'.


We go through huge jars all the time. So I figured it was time to make it myself! Control the sugar, chocolate and salt and keep the preservatives away. It's super easy, and only takes a bit of time – the longer you grind the nut "butter", and the stronger your food processor or blender is the smoother the final product will be.
And I HIGHLY suggest roasting your nuts. It will make a huge difference in bringing out the best flavor. If you can find roasted unsalted hazelnuts you can use that instead of toasting them yourself.
it's easier than you think to make homemade nutella! Grind your own hazelnuts - just like many any other nut butter and add sugar and chocolate.
spread in a pan and toast the hazelnuts until they're slightly browned and the skin is slightly blistered, 10-15 minutes.
And today is World Nutella day! So along with 12 other AMAZING food bloggers we're celebrating! We have 13 NEW nutella recipes and 10 bonus posts! This year we're having even more fun that last year with our #celebratingfood16 posts, with 6 new food bloggers.

Why have I never made homemade nutella before? This looks incredible!! I wish I had some to lather on my toast this morning!
it's oh so easy! let me know what you think!
I'm cracking up about you being able to tell your youngest had gotten into the Nutella because of his dirty face, my youngest is the same way, lol!! This looks incredible! I bet it's better than the jarred kind, yum!
he got into it again today… all over his face and hand… he's hilarious trying to get away with it.
This looks so yummy, and I love that you can control the ingredients!
I really want to try and make this now. We love Nutella and I am always buying it. I also love being able to put what I want in it.
It's 8:00 in the morning and I could go totally for a big spoonful of this! I've always wanted to make my own, thanks for sharing a great recipe!
it certainly never lasts long at our house!

Nevada Tax Department Approves Early Start, Licensing to Begin July 1
The Nevada Tax Commission has approved the Early Start provisions for an adult-use cannabis regime that will allow the state to begin issuing recreational licenses by July, 1, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The plan will allow current medical cannabis dispensary operators the first chance to participate in the adult-use industry.
According to Deonne Contine, Tax Department Director, the Early Start was necessary in order to meet requirements in Gov. Brian Sandoval's proposed budget that includes $70 million from recreational cannabis sales over the next two years.
"If we don't adopt the regulations, we will not have a temporary program," Contine said in the report. "If we don't have a temporary program, we will not have the revenue that's included in the governor's budget."
Clark County, of which Las Vegas is a part, is set to begin licensing on July 1, and officials for Sin City and North Las Vegas plan to begin the licensing process on that date. In February, officials in Henderson implemented a six-month moratorium on recreational sales, which means the five dispensaries operating in the city will have to wait until at least August to participate in the recreational program.
"It's great for the state. It's great for the industry. I think it's great for everybody," said Armen Yemenidjian, owner of Essence Cannabis dispensaries. "This is a display in how Nevada gets things done."
The regulations approved by the department do not allow liquor distributors to apply for distribution licenses due to the potential conflict with federal law.

Construction consistently ranks among the most dangerous jobs in America. Construction workers face serious safety hazards every day, from extreme heights and heavy equipment to dangerous machinery and electrical risks. But surveys conducted by safety organizations and agencies show that many of the hazards construction workers face could be caused by construction companies valuing their bottom line more than their workers health and safety.
According to statistics from the National Safety Council (NSC) and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, disturbing data shows that the majority of construction workers feel that their employers place a higher emphasis on productivity than they do workplace safety.
The statistics gathered by the NSC and the Bureau of Labor Statistics paint a startling picture of the occupational safety landscape within the construction industry.
58 percent of construction workers believe their employers value productivity over safety.
51 percent of workers in the construction industry report that management does only the bare minimum required by law when it comes to workplace safety.
47 percent of construction workers say they are afraid to report safety issues at work.
67 percent of construction workers report that performance standards are more important to their employers than safety standards.
This is extremely problematic considering the high rate of fatalities and serious injuries among construction workers. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 4,836 workplace fatalities in 2015, with construction deaths accounting for nearly 1,000 of these. Falls are the leading cause of workplace deaths across all industries, and over half of all construction-related work accidents involve a fall.
32 percent of employees across all other industries feel management ignores an individuals safety performance when it comes to awarding promotions.
47 percent of workers in all other industries believe that employers place more emphasis on performance standards than safety standards.
Philadelphia workers' compensation lawyer Joel J. Kofsky states, Getting hurt at work is particularly terrifying. When your livelihood is on the line, you may not know where to turn next. And if youre a construction worker, the prospect of being too injured to work can be extremely stressful. If you have been injured on the job at a construction site, you have important rights, including the right to receive workers compensation benefits for your injuries and other losses.?
Construction is a dangerous industry. Unfortunately, construction companies dont always prioritize their workers safety. And when accidents occur, some companies try to pressure workers into not making a claim for benefits. Dont let this happen to you. Protect yourself by getting an experienced Philadelphia workers compensation lawyer on your side right away.

On September 29, 2011, the US Patent & Trademark Office published a patent application from Apple that reveals a next generation Hybrid Drive that includes both a hard drive and Flash. Intel will be pushing their Smart Response hybrid drive systems for consumer systems in 2012 and Apple's patent would indicate that they intend to have their own solution for future hardware. Uniquely Apple's twist to this drive is that it will handle different types of storage media based on an environmental state of the hybrid drive. If the drive undergoes temperature, vibration or acceleration variances that could cause the hard drive to temporarily fail, the system would save the volatile data to the Flash drive.
While hard-disk drives (HDDs) are capable of storing large amounts of data at a low cost per byte, they could be sensitive to environmental conditions. In particular, operation of modern HDDs involves accurately maintaining the vertical and horizontal positions of read and write transducers within a few nanometers of a disk that is spinning at a rotational velocity in excess of 10,000 rpm. In addition, as the aerial density in HDDs increases, the current density in the read transducers increases, and the magnetic volume associated with a bit stored on the disk decreases. These design changes increase the sensitivity of HDDs to potential effects associated with ambient temperature and the thermal energy dissipated by HDDs, including: thermal runaway, electro-migration and superparamagnetism.
As a consequence, HDDs are increasingly sensitive to environmental conditions, such as changes in temperature, vibration and acceleration, which can disrupt operation of an HDD, and can result in HDD failure and/or loss of data. In turn, these limitations could adversely impact the performance of systems (such as computer systems) that include HDDs, and could necessitate additional data and storage-device redundancy that could increase the complexity and cost of these systems.
Hence, what is needed is a storage device, as well as a system that includes the storage device, which overcome the problems listed above.
Apple's invention generally relates to a hybrid storage device that includes the following: a hard-disk drive (HDD), a flash memory, an interface circuit, and control logic. This control logic receives a request, via the interface circuit, from an external device to write a block of data to the hybrid storage device, where the request includes a logical address for the block of data in a first portion of an address space which maps to the HDD. In response to the request, the control logic writes the block of data to the HDD. Furthermore, if there is a change in environmental state information of the hybrid storage device during the write operation, the control logic writes at least a portion of the block of data to a logical address for the block of data in a second portion of the address space which maps to the flash memory. Note that the address space may be common to the external device and the hybrid storage device.
In some embodiments, the change in the environmental state information is associated with an operating state of the HDD in which failure or shut down of the HDD is to occur during the write operation. For example, the operating state of the HDD may be associated with the following: a change in an internal temperature of the HDD, acceleration of the HDD, and/or vibration of the HDD. Moreover, during the operating state one or more transducers in the HDD may be parked.
During Intel's Spring IDF 2011 they revealed that they were working on a technology called Smart Response which is basically describing a hybrid drive. The system is to include a typical large Hard Drive for mass storage while including a Solid State Drive (SSD) to allow the OS, favorite apps and essential services to ramp up extremely fast to provide users with a faster and more responsive system. Though technically, a hybrid drive could simply utilize Flash memory and not necessarily in the form of a SSD like what Apple is proposing.
While Apple's Hybrid covers handling environmental issue solutions, they do mention that "memory (noted as # 324 above) may store an operating system that includes procedures (or a set of instructions) for handling various basic system services for performing hardware-dependent tasks. While not explicitly indicated in computer system 300, in some embodiments the operating system includes a web browser, such as: Internet Explorer (from Microsoft Corporation, of Redmond, Wash.), Safari (from Apple Inc., of Cupertino, Calif.), and/or Firefox (from the Mozilla Foundation, of Mountain View, Calif.)." It's not uncommon for Apple to include mention of competing products in their patents should they be licensed further down the road.
Wikipedia confirms that "A hybrid drive combines the features of an HDD and an SSD into one unit, containing a large HDD, with a smaller SSD cache to improve performance of frequently accessed files. These could offer near-SSD performance in most applications (such as system startup and loading applications) at a lower price than an SSD."
So while Apple appears to suppress the infomation of their hybrid drive's ability to speed up processes in a computer system, the fact is that what they're actually describing is the very definition of why hybrid drives are implemented in the first place.
Intel's Smart Response is debuting only on Extreme i7 systems for gamers late this year. It's likely to move to mainstream systems in 2012 when Ivy Bridge rolls around. The image that Intel provided at IDF 2011 in relation to a hybrid drive or "Smart Response" system was a consumer all-in-one desktop. So the race is on for hybrid drives in 2012 and beyond and it's nice to know that Apple has their own solution in the pipeline. The funny thing is that Apple's systems are already lightning fast at start-up when compared to competing Intel systems from Dell or others. I can't even imagine how much quicker Apple's devices could get in the future. Though who's complaining, right?
Apple's patent application 20110238887 was originally filed in Q1 2010 by Senior Scientist Khalu Bazzani.
It's definitely a Flash Patent day considering that the USPTO has published an additional six new Apple patents on the subject which include the following: Uncorrectable Error Handling Schemes for Non-Volatile Memories (20110238629); Systems and Methods for Refreshing Non-Volatile Memory (20110235434); Non-Regular Parity Distribution Detection via Metadata Tag (20110239088) and others (20110238886, 20110239064 and 20110239065).
In a patent application titled "Wireless Interference Mitigation" Apple lays out what their new invention addresses: "Isolation between a transmitter and a receiver co-located in the same mobile wireless communication device could use specific antenna design, shielding, filtering and placement to minimize receiving interfering radio frequency power in one receiving antenna from another transmitting antenna. Current mobile wireless communication devices could be quite compact in size, and the maximum physical distance possible on such small devices between a transmitter and receiver could limit the amount of radiated radio frequency power loss resulting from antenna placement. Thus there exists a need for a method to mitigate interference between radio frequency transceivers placed in the same mobile wireless communications device.
Apple's patent FIG. 6 noted above illustrates two representative mobile wireless communication devices (iPhone and iPad) connected simultaneously to several wireless systems that use different wireless communication protocols.
To review Apple's solution, see patent application 20110237246. Here's a temporary link that is only good for about 48-72 hours.

4.2 Iron transport
It is obvious that iron must be transported around the human body. Firstly, it must be transported from the food in the gut to the places where it is required. Mostly, iron is required in the bone marrow, where red blood cells are formed. Red blood cells have a finite lifetime of about only four months, and old cells are destroyed, usually in the spleen. Iron from the destruction of these cells is then transported from the spleen back to the bone marrow to be recycled.
Iron cannot be tr
This unit provides an introduction to the evolution of mammals.
We will be considering Darwin's observations on a great many mammals, and how he noticed that species fell into natural groups. We take as an example the evolution of one particularly interesting mammal, the whale, and look at evidence both from fossils and from DNA to see which other mammals are most closely related to whales. We see how the evidence from these two very different sources points to the same relationship and

2.2.2 Energy and conservation
Newtonian mechanics is concerned with explaining motion, yet it contains within it the much simpler idea that some things never change. Take the concept of mass, for example, which appears throughout Newtonian mechanics, including the law of gravitation. In Newtonian mechanics, mass is conserved. This means that the mass of the Universe is constant and the mass of any specified collection of particles is constant, no matter how much rearrangement occurs within the system. A chemist might take
6.5 Summary of Section 6
Growth cones respond to proximal and distal cues. The proximal cues in the extracellular matrix or other cells affect adhesion and result in chemotactic guidance. Distal cues are also in the extracellular matrix but they diffuse through it and result in the growth cone either moving towards the source (attractants) or away from it (repellants). These distal cues are chemotropic cues and can have different effects on different growth cones; what may be an attractant to one growth cone may be r
2.3.2 Salinity, desiccation and biotic interactions on seashores
Tidal movements ensure that sea-shore habitats are, if not covered by seawater for part of each day, at least subject to spray-borne salt and wind. So, even well above the level of high tides, sea-shore organisms need to be more tolerant of salt than most terrestrial organisms. However, salinity (the concentration of salts dissolved in water) is not the only factor affecting sea-shore species. Seaweeds and shelled animals like limpets and barnacles are adapted to living in a highly saline mar

4.4.1 Tidal Energy
The energy that causes the slow but regular rise and fall of the tides around our coastlines is not the same as that which creates waves. It is caused principally by the gravitational pull of the moon on the world's oceans. The sun also plays a minor role, not through its radiant energy but in the form of its gravitational pull, which exerts a small additional effect on tidal rhythms.
The principal technology for harnessing tidal energy essentially involves building a low dam, or barrag

A distinction must be made between the optical fibre – a single strand of glass fibre – and the optical-fibre cable consisting of one or more strands of fibre and various protective coverings.
Bare optical fibre is fragile and vulnerable, and the cabling must provide the properties given below.

2.6.1 Connectors
Many techniques have been used to design connectors that align the fibre ends accurately with high reliability and a long lifetime. The development of such components, at a low enough price, has been an important part of the overall development which has made fibre a feasible proposition for commercial transmission systems.
With fibre attenuation down to 0.2 dB km−1 (for single-mode fibre), the losses resulting from connectors and splices can be very significant over a whol
3.4 Characterisation and sexual stereotyping
In attempting to characterise their sitters, 19th-century commercial photographers did not intend or attempt any serious psychoanalytical exploration of individual character such as we perceive it today in our post-Freudian world. They sought instead to stereotype by age and sex within a narrow range of positive virtues, which had previously been approved, within the conventions of painting: modesty, simplicity and chastity for women; dignity, strength and nobility for men.

West Africa: Tension in Burkina Faso as negotiations continue
The leader of the Burkina Faso coup and the chief of the army were conducting last-minute talks on Tuesday, seeking to avoid bloodshed as the army prepared to "disarm" the presidential guard.
General Gilbert Diendere said on Tuesday that he remained the head of a military junta and was awaiting the outcome of a summit of West African leaders being held in Nigeria's capital, Abuja. The coup leader has said that negotiations were still ongoing, even after a deadline given by the military for the junta to disarm passed.
Loyalist troops had told those behind the coup, which derailed a democratic transition process, to disarm and surrender by 10 a.m. local time (1000 UTC/GMT) Tuesday, or face attack.
Negotiations underway
The coup leaders freed the president and the prime minister on Tuesday after the army entered the capital, but the coup leader called for the troops to leave the city. General Diendere had appeared on state television Monday, apologizing to the country and the international community for his actions.
Burkina soldiers entered the capital Ouagadougou late on Monday night without resistance from the elite presidential guard, who led a coup last week, a senior military source told Reuters. At the same time, talks between army leaders and the presidential guard on the terms of the latter's surrender began in central Ouagadougou, he added.
Anti-coup protesters singing Burkina's National Anthem
While talking to DW, James Amekeder, a political commentator, said there was lots of jubilation all around Ouagadougou, when news arrived that the coup leaders had agreed to lay down their arms. "Everybody wants to do all to avoid further bloodshed, including the army," he said, "and they would be happy if everything ended peacefully."
An end to the crisis?
The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) was scheduled to hold a summit in Abuja, Nigeria, on Tuesday.The plan, proposed by the Senegalese and Beninese presidents, foresees an amnesty for the coup plotters and would allow loyalists of ousted president Blaise Compaore to contest the upcoming elections.
Amekeder thinks the decision taken will be a difficicult one for Burkinabes. He says the outcome of the meeting in Abuja will not mean much to Burkinabes. "All we are asking for is the people [coup leaders] to be disarmed and power returned to the transitional government."
Burkina soldiers entered the capital Ouagadougou late on Monday night without resistance from the elite presidential guard who led a coup last Thursday, a senior military source told Reuters. At the same time, talks between army leaders and the presidential guard on the terms of the latter's surrender began in central Ouagadougou, he added.
The heads of the National Armed Forces warned that troops would disarm the presidential guard, and aimed to do so without spilling blood.
General Gilbert Diendere apologizes for his action
Burkina Faso was plunged into turmoil last Wednesday when soldiers from the powerful Presidential Guard Regiment (RSP) detained interim President Michel Kafando and Prime Minister Isaac Zida. The RSP, an elite unit of 1,300 men, officially declared a coup the following day and installed General Gilbert Diendere, a close ally of former president Blaise Compaore, as the country's new leader.

In the past few months I have been prepping to join the ranks of the married. Through the process of bringing two lives together, my future wife and I have realized the power of dual incomes.
In many cases when people are first married they become DINKS (Dual Income, No Kids). This DINK time period can be a precursor to how a couple will manage their money for the rest of their lives -- you may continue to plan your finances as individuals (i.e. spend), or you may use your DINK status to close out debt and build wealth.
While we are not technically DINKS (we have one child) we have decided to go with the latter and pay down our debt and build our savings. Currently the average household credit card debt hovers around $7,000. Add to that a mortgage and student loan debt, and the number could be overwhelming.
Following a budget or spending plan is one way to make sure you stay out of debt in the first place, but how can we get rid of debt we might already have?
Creating a budget is still a good place to start. (Here are some useful links to get an idea of what it may look like.) With a budget you can see where you are spending money, and make changes to your spending habits as necessary.
When I analyzed my budget this year I noticed that I was spending more money on eating out than I had allocated. Now this may be fine, if I was spending less in another budget category, but I was not. In order to balance my budget, I needed to make a sacrifice. Should I eat out less or drop my satellite TV? I made the decision to eat out less, and keep my satellite TV (because I had to know what happened next in Breaking Bad). Following my budget and making sacrifices on spending are two high quality Debt Busters.
In our case we took the Debt Busting power of a budget a step further with our Dual Income. We have done our best to live off of one income, while using the second income to pay down our debt and build up our savings. I am not going to tell you it has been easy, but we have made the necessary sacrifices to make it work. We both drive seven-year-old cars. We have friends over to our house, rather than going out to restaurants or bars. We eat leftovers for lunch at work. We use coupons. Above all else, we avoid frivolous spending.
Doing these things has helped us to lower our monthly expenses and survive on one income. We have been using the second income to slowly pay down our debt (we will be completely debt free in less than a year). We have also been able to increase our contributions to our employer 401(k) plans. Not only that, but we have been able to start saving for the very elusive emergency fund. This plan has paid dividends for us, because we have been able to communicate openly about our finances and work together to bust our debt and build our savings.
The internet is full of stories about why couples divorce, and the themes that seem to emerge are: lack of communication, and arguments about finances. With the sobering statistics in the back of our mind, we have been able to establish open lines of communication about our finances by deciding on rules and guidelines for how we handle money.
One of the first things we talked about was how to divide our expenses. True, we are trying to live on one income, but we still divide our expenses so that the person paying the mortgage is not also paying for preschool (our second largest bill). When we have larger purchases, such as replacing a door or cutting down a dead tree, we discuss from what source that money is coming from. In addition, we have put a spending limit on some purchases. If an item costs above a certain dollar amount, we need to discuss with the other person the need for that purchase. This one can be a little difficult to get used to, but it also helps ensure we do not take on unnecessary debt.
At this point, we have also had a conversation about combining accounts once we are married. We have decided that we will wait to do that until after our debt is paid off to ensure that we are both responsible for our own past financial mistakes. However, in the future we will have a joint account in order to maintain clear and open communication related to our finances.
The last thing we are doing is communicating our money goals. Our biggest money goal this year was to have a wedding that will be completely paid off by the big day. I am happy to say we will reach that goal thanks to some hard work and a little luck. Our newest goal is to ramp up on the retirement savings before we have more children.
One thing I have learned from others this year about marriage is that it is hard work. I love that my fiancé and I have taken some preventative steps before our marriage to tackle some of the tougher issues that might arise along the way. The emphasis on the same goals will help to keep us focused when we run into the temptation of buying the new PlayStation 4 or Louis Vuitton purse.
Do you have any marriage or debt busting tips to share with me before my big day? Please leave a comment!

Welcome to Oxford, Mississippi: home to William Faulkner, the University of Mississippi, and a unique brand of sophisticated charm that you won't find anywhere else. Long touted as the Cultural Mecca of the South, this idyllic little corner of magnolian grace has a little something for everyone.
Join the ranks of 2500 literary pilgrims to the framework of the fabled Yonknapatawpha County, take a perambulatory gander at the picturesque town square, or raise a bless-your-heart with the belles, and beaus, and bowties of Ole Miss, and we think you'll agree: Oxford is one of the Nicest Places in the South.


The drug is the dried rhizome or leaf of Athyrium sinense Rupr. (Family Athyriaceae), growing in forests along ravines, in swampy lands near the forests, and distributed in Northeast China, North China, Northwest China and Southwest China.
Slightly bitter, cool; lung and large intestine meridians entered.

Threat Awareness: A Critical First Step in Detecting Adversaries
One thing seems certain: Attackers are only getting more devious and lethal. Expect to see more advanced attacks.
We're in an arms race with cybercriminals. Adversaries are becoming stealthier and more dangerous, constantly improving their attack techniques to evade the best security defenses. From malicious mobile apps to exploited cloud misconfigurations and devastating Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) exploits, there's no shortage of threats we need to protect against.
As security practitioners, it's our mission not only to build the new tools needed to arrest and detect threats effectively, but to help make sense of the wide-ranging nature of what constitutes security. That starts with threat awareness. After all, you can't defend against what you don't understand.
Here are some of the major threat landscape changes we've seen in the last year and will continue to see this year and beyond.
Evading Security Controls with Automated, Active Attacks
Automated, active attacks are on the rise. These types of attacks involve a mix of automation and human-directed hacking to evade security controls.
Attackers in the recent Snatch ransomware attacks, for example, gained access by abusing remote access services, like RDP, and then used hand-to-keyboard hacking to complete the attack. Recently, attackers have upped the ante by exfiltrating data before beginning encryption and rebooting machines into Safe Mode during the attack in order to circumvent endpoint protection. These changing attack methods are part of the growing trend of defense evasion and highlight the need for protection at every layer of the environment.
On the detection side, the problem is that it's challenging to determine what's a malicious versus legitimate use of those tools. This method has been used successfully by the criminals behind the SamSam and MegaCortex ransomware attacks.
Raising the Stakes with Ransomware
Ransomware creators know that if they can't get past detection systems, their operation has little chance of success. Therefore, they're putting a lot of effort into figuring out ways to evade detection systems altogether. One of the most effective methods is changing their appearance — often by obfuscating their code — to disguise their true intent.
For example, attackers may digitally code-sign ransomware with an Authenticode certificate. Anti-ransomware defenses give code with signatures a less thorough examination, and some endpoint security products may even choose to trust it.
At the same time, attackers exploit vulnerabilities to elevate their privileges to an administrative credential. This way, their privileges will meet or exceed the access permissions necessary to ensure that encrypting files will be successful.
Scamming Through Stealthy, Malicious Apps
Smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices are rich environments for attacks. Not only can attackers steal user information and cash or cryptocurrency, but they can also use mobile devices to gain access to corporate resources.
Fraudulent banking apps, referred to as bankers, continue to plague users by stealing credentials for financial institutions. Downloaders — apps that appear to be finance-related but are really downloading banker payloads in the background — are increasingly common. Some bankers even steal credentials by abusing accessibility features to virtually monitor keystrokes when a user logs in to legitimate banking apps.
Unscrupulous developers are also finding success exploiting the legitimate in-app advertising model found on mobile devices, creating apps whose sole purpose is to maximize ad revenue. The most nefarious types of adware, known as Hiddad, hide themselves from the app tray and launcher, so they're impossible to find and remove. Hiddad malware often takes the form of a legitimate app, like a QR code reader, but makes money through aggressive advertising.
Fleeceware is another example of how developers take advantage of legal models to scam unwitting consumers. These apps vastly overcharge users for app functionality that's already available for free or at low cost, often relying on free trials that are nearly impossible to cancel to lure users into paying $275 for a simple calculator app. It's an ongoing, widespread issue, with researchers recently uncovering 20 new fleeceware applications that may have nearly 600 million downloads.
Exploiting Misconfiguration in the Cloud
The strengths that make cloud such a valuable platform for computing and business operations — flexibility, speed and ease of use — are also what makes it challenging to secure. With changes happening at the rapid pace of cloud, operator error is a growing risk. All it takes is one misstep in configuration to expose the entire customer database to attack.
Attackers are taking note. Most cloud-based security incidents are a result of misconfiguration of some kind. Attackers know that companies struggle with a general lack of visibility into their cloud environments, so they can sneak in and carry out an attack before anyone notices. That's why they've seen success with Magecart malware, which infected retailers' "shopping cart" pages without their knowledge to steal customer information from businesses like Ticketmaster and Cathay Pacific.
As more and more companies turn to the cloud for backups, these attacks are becoming increasingly common. Businesses need visibility into the consequences of configuration changes, as well as the ability to monitor for malicious and suspicious activity in the cloud.
Abusing Machine Learning
Attacks against machine learning security systems are moving from an academic possibility into the toolkits of attackers. Machine learning systems have their own weaknesses, and it's only a matter of time before attackers figure out how to evade them. Research shows how attackers could trick models, highlighting the need for multiple layers of protection.
With machine learning becoming as a regular part of defense, we're also seeing the first signs of using machine learning models on offense. Imagine using text-to-speech machine learning models to evade security measures like voice authentication. Such technology, like the technology underlying "deepfakes," has already allegedly been used in a CEO vishing (voice phishing) scam. In the future, attackers might also use machine learning to optimize attacks, like phishing email click-through rates.
As we look ahead, one thing seems certain: Attackers are only getting more devious and lethal. We expect to see more advanced attacks, like the weaponization of machine learning. In the meantime, awareness of existing threats gives companies the information they need to design effective protection.

Mercer, Pennsylvania (PA) native Jacob Schupp earned the prestigious position as this summer's Fellow through the Catholic Community Connection at the Village of St. Edward. Jacob came to Cleveland from PA to attend John Carroll University (JCU) where he is working on a finance major and intends to pursue a career in healthcare administration. His decision to attend JCU was based on the intention to study at a "small university" in a city bigger than his own. After a recommendation from a friend in the same fraternity, Jacob decided he would like to earn a Fellowship position through Catholic Community Connection. His friend, Charles Russella, spoke very highly of his personal experience working for the CCC the previous year and Jacob says his experience was nothing short of his expectations.
After an internship in a regional hospital in Pennsylvania Jacob discovered his desired career path in healthcare administration. In the course of his Fellowship at The Village of St. Edward, Jacob was involved in the exact array of activities he hoped for. These activities consisted of helping with the 4th of July parade, the Akron Mobile Petting Zoo event, and a cookout for the memory care unit. Jacob's dedication and drive certainly did not stop there. The long list of accomplishments in one summer continued with his ambitions to help start a "Music and Memory" program. For this specific program Jacob was tasked with programming IPods with songs and genres personalized for residents to help elicit good and positive memories. He explained it was a way of helping the residents feel calm when they were going through tough times.
In the same light, Jacob had the opportunity to shadow tours offered at The Village of St. Edward and also received an in-depth understanding of how the admittance process worked. Jacob says he thoroughly enjoyed helping to promote internal and external events for family and friends. Constructing posters and writing press releases for the local newspapers and monthly newsletters equipped him with new and important skills he will be able to add to his resume, and making him a top candidate for his future endeavors. Additionally, Jacob was eager to explain his PowerPoint project. The project started as a PowerPoint he made for a memory case presentation which then turned into something greater than he thought. The PowerPoint was then made into a template for the employees to use when they present in various meetings and seminars for people in the community.
Catholic Community Connection's fellowship program is designed so that every fellow has their own mentor. Jacob's mentor was Sister Marilyn. The two would meet periodically throughout the week to check in with each other. Jacob explains how blessed he felt to work beside her for some of her spiritual care work. He felt it was an important part of his experience to witness how Sister Marilyn conducted her Life Talks and would later publish them along with stories form her residents in newsletters. Jacob then proceeded to talk about another colleague, Annette. Annette is the Corporate Director of marketing and let him know various areas he could help The Village. Jacob says "Her personality was very easy going and she, along with many others, were always willing to work with you." Everyone who knew this fellow could always feel the sincerity in his voice when he spoke so highly of those he worked alongside.
When asked if Jacob has any recommendations for future fellows, Jacob explained the importance of working in a place like The Village of St. Edward. For anyone wanting to pursue a career in healthcare administration or simply enjoys helping others, this is the position for them. Given the good fortune of working side by side with the CEO and CFO and receiving an extensive view of every department in the industry was both a blessing and an opportunity to improve the skills he intends to apply wherever his career may take him.


QuiltCon, to be held Feb. 21 – 24, 2013 in Austin Texas, will be the inaugural conference and show by and for The Modern Quilt Guild. The first modern quilting event of its kind, QuiltCon will be an international conference and show for modern quilters. It will include a juried modern quilt show with cash prizes, vendors, lectures and workshops from top modern quilters.
The quilters of The Modern Quilt Guild bring a bold new aesthetic to a craft dominated by traditional and art quilting. The clean lines and stylish color schemes prevalent in modern quilting appeal to fans of sophisticated modern design. Founded in Los Angeles, California in 2009, the Guild has attracted a new generation of design-conscious quilters. In only 3 years, the Modern Quilt Guild has expanded rapidly to include thousands of members in over 100 chapters. The Guild's mission is to encourage the growth and development of modern quilting through art, education and community.
"It became obvious to us that the next step for our Modern Quilt Guild members was [to] offer an event that was custom-tailored for them," said Latifah Saafir, Founder and Board Member of The Modern Quilt Guild.
With workshops and lectures by Denyse Schmidt, Malka Dubrawsky, Elizabeth Hartman, Anny Maria Horner, Weeks Ringle and Bill Kerr, no other quilt conference or show will offer such a complete experience for modern quilters.
"We hope our conference attendees can learn new techniques and strengthen their quilting skills with the most influential and recognized modern quilters in the world," said Alissa Haight Carlton, Founder and President of The Modern Quilt Guild.
QuiltCon will include a juried quilt show with hundreds of quilts and thousands of dollars of cash prizes. Over 70 vendors will offer conference and show attendees a unique shopping experience geared toward the interests and tastes of modern quilters. In addition, there will be two special exhibits: Denyse Schmidt's Quilts and Modern Historical Quilts, curated by Ellen Rushman, a graduate student of the International Quilt Study Center in Lincoln, Nebraska.
QuiltCon, presented by the The Modern Quilt Guild, will offer a unique quilt show experience that is influenced by modern design and the indie craft movement. No other quilt show offers this viewpoint on quilting.
"We're so excited to see quilts from Modern Quilt Guild members in this show! We hope that people who see the show will get some new ideas about what quilt design can be, particularly that it can still be fresh and relevant today," said Elizabeth Hartman, Modern Quilt Guild Board Member.

Solomon Islands Kurukuru dominating the Oceania Futsal Championships in Suva, Fiji.
The Solomon Islands Kurukuru boys have defeated Fiji 5-3 at a packed FMF Dome in Suva Fiji.
Fiji came out hoping to cause an upset and could not have asked for a better start, scoring an excellent goal courtesy of Mohammed Shalmeen. Fiji maintained the lead throughout most of the first half. Kurukuru did most of the attacking and Fiji defending their goalmouth with sheer determination. It only seemed a matter of time before Kurukuru would strike back, and strike back they did with a wonderful set piece, finished ever so skilfully by Jenan Kapu.
The second half was an all Kurukuru show, Ragomo called the plays from the back while Micah Lea'alafa and Jack Wetney dazzled the crowd with their ball handling skills. Within 1 minute into the first half Micah Lea'alafa slotted one home much to the delight of Solomon Islanders in the building. 6 minute later Lea'alafa struck again from an excellent through ball from Ragomo. Ragomo scored another goal followed shortly by a beautiful solo effort from Wetney. Fiji replied with two goals, one from a penalty and another from a fast break.
The Solomon Islands will today take on Vanuatu, aiming to settle old scores.
Kurukuru coach Dickson Kadau says that the team is taking one game at a time and are quietly confident. Coach Kadau said that every team wants to win, "we just need to stay focussed and we should be fine."
