Patents are a form of intellectual property protection that grant exclusive rights to the patent owner to profit off of the patent. For inventions, the patent term lasts 20 years from the date of application. Patent applications often contain important information about a product or invention, and business owners might need to cite these applications when writing business documents, completing paperwork and engaging in other business-related tasks.
Provide the patent application number, the publication number and the publication date when you are referencing patents in business paperwork or government forms. These forms don't typically require you to use academic citations, so providing sufficient information for the person reading the paperwork to locate the patent is usually sufficient. If the patent is not yet published, provide the patent application number and the application date.
Use APA (American Psychological Association) citation style when writing academic works that require this citation style. The proper way to cite a patent under APA is as follows: patent holder names (last name followed by first initial); year of application; patent number (italicized); city of patent; and source. Note that for U.S. patents, the city is always Washington, D.C.
Use MLA (Modern Language Association) style for academic papers requiring this style. For example, elementary school students are typically required to use MLA. Patents are cited in MLA as follows: patent holder names (last name first); patent name (in quotation marks); patent number; and date of patent application.
Use the Chicago Manual of Style citation style when required. Patents in the Chicago style are formatted as follows: inventor Names (last name first); patent title; patent number; date of filing; and date of patent issuance.


It is really worthwhile to do a vegetable garden Cheap Jordan 11 For Sale , because you get to eat some food that is good for you, while getting some good exercise, and also a sense of satisfaction. It's always a smart idea if you can keep your garden free from any chemical pesticides. If you are living in a heavily populated area, you may wonder about the wisdom of having your own vegetable garden, but there's no reason you shouldn't have one.
Creating a vegetable garden is much simpler than growing flowers since vegetables fare better in all sorts of weather. Flowers may have a more difficult time adjusting to weather fluctuations due to their fragile nature. Although you might strive to use plant boxes for your vegetables Cheap Jordan 11s , be aware that they do normally take up a significant area. It still may depend on what you would like from your garden, and what vegetables you are planning on planting. You should have a bit of patience with your garden, because you need to find out what works for you, and that will take some trial and error. You will have to research so you use the most suitable soil type for your vegetables. Once you sample the vegetables from your garden, you will be happy you made the effort.
You will want to decide if you should use the standard straight line system of organizing your garden or if you prefer some other method. Some individuals prefer to switch vegetables every other row so that the vegetables are harvested at various times. With this technique Cheap Jordan 11 Wholesale , the rows which are not ready to harvest will certainly still be in place. Unfortunately, with this type of planting, gardeners strolling between the rows ruin the soil structure. Lots more people are actually choosing to plant in beds rather than rows nowadays. To performTo assist the beds endure cooler weather, they can be elevated off the ground which enables them to remain at a higher temperature. weeding without having difficulty requires that the beds not turn out to be too big. To help the beds endure cooler weather, they can be lifted off the ground which enables them to remain at a higher temperature. Potager is yet another planting layout that is now popular Cheap Jordan 11 Concords , and it is planting flowers and herbs, along with the vegetables.
It doesn't matter where you plant your garden, another significant aspect of planting the vegetables is how you prepare the soil. The soil might be filled with sand or clay or maybe a combination of both, known as silt. Clay-based soil will stay damp longer and soak up water more efficiently. With more sandy earth, roots will be able to breathe better and water can circulate more effectively. A blend of all of the soil types is the foremost way to prepare your soil. Ideally Cheap Jordan 11 2019 , you only want 20% clay, and 40% of both silt and sand.
If you're only just getting involved in gardening, there's really no time like the present. When you have studied up on how to proceed, you need to take the first step. You will enjoy the benefits of a great hobby that yields delicious food.
From the greatest heights, to the Bottom of the cellar Cheap Jordan 11 2018 , the Baltimore Orioels have been both bums and champions in their storied history.
The Orioles initiated the team's tenure in Baltimore in 1954. Before this, they were the St. Louis Browns (and briefly previous to that they were the original Milwaukee Brewers).
Even though the club lost a hundred games that summer, they made a deal that would one day help the team to change into one of the leading teams in the game — they signed up Paul Richards as managergeneral manager. Richards helped to instill sound baseball basics in the club from top to bottom. These basics would soon take root and create championship caliber teams for decades into the future.
But these championships would not take place right away. It took an additional 3 years for the club to make it to the .500 mark. Shortly, however, the organization was replete with high-caliber young players. It would only demand a small amount of experience for the team to come together.
A key part of the team coming together was the hiring of Lee MacPhail. MacPhail helped to stabilize the team's scouting staff — another influence that would aid the Orioles well in decades to come.
While Richards was a leading facet in getting the organization off the ground Cheap Jordan 11 Authentic , he left the Orioles in 1961 before they achieved ulitimate success. He took a job as general manager for the Colt 45s in Houston.
In 1964, future Orioles great, third baseman Brooks Robinson, had an admirable season. Always a defensive artist, Robinson showed up strong on the offensive side and won the MVP Cheap Jordan 11 Free Shipping , and the Orioles competed for the coveted American League pennant in a three-way race with the White Sox and the Yankees.
While they didn't win the pennant that summer, the organization could be said to have finally arrived. They were serious contenders and a team to be reckoned with.
In the wintertime of 1965 the Orioles traded for all-time great Frank Robinson. That move was the final part of the puzzle for the Orioles. Robinson won the MVP award in 1966, and the Orioles took the World Series — sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers in four consecutive games.
Three years afterward, in 1969, the Orioles would be back in the World Series (this time playing the New York Mets). Although they lost this series Cheap Jordan 11 Shoes , it would make the beginning of the three straight years that the team went to the World Series. They would win the series again in 1970, but then succumb to the Oakland A's in 1971.
In the '71 summer, four Orioles pitchers were able to to win twenty game each (Jim Palmer, Mike Cuellar, Dave McNally Cheap Jordan 11 Womens , and Pat Dobson). This feat had never been done before and has never been repeated since.

Home·What's on·Ecologies of the Western Camera: Collective Photography and Wishful Environmentalism, California c. 1900
Ecologies of the Western Camera: Collective Photography and Wishful Environmentalism, California c. 1900
Speaker: Dr Carolin Görgen
For the past century, Californian photographers have existed in our imaginations as environmentally aware practitioners whose majestic depictions of the western landscape have helped preserve and protect the state's fragile ecosystem. Exploring the practices of the largest camera club in the early twentieth-century U.S. – the San Francisco-based California Camera Club – this talk questions the common portrayal of western photographers as solitary artist-explorers in a seemingly favorable climate. It draws attention to the ecological repercussions of photographic practice in California, c. 1900, by tracing the tensions between aesthetically pleasing landscape imagery and its material afterlife. Through a variety of photographic objects and manuscripts, this talk will examine how the club's seemingly preservationist agenda was interwoven with imperialist expansion, Indigenous dispossession, and often-violent transformation of the land. In dialogue with recent ecocriticial research, this talk will question the photographers' aesthetic approach to the Western landscape and longstanding imaginations of Californian photography as inherently environmentalist.
Carolin Görgen is Associate Professor of American Studies at Sorbonne Université. A historian of photography and the American West, she obtained her PhD from the University Paris-Diderot and the École du Louvre in 2018. Her dissertation on the California Camera Club received the the research prize of the German Photographic Society and Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation. Most recently, she contributed the exhibition catalog Among the Ruins: Arnold Genthe's Photographs of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and Firestorm (2021) of the San Francisco Fine Arts Museums. Her research has been supported by the Terra Foundation for American Art, the Huntington Library, the Beinecke Library at Yale, and the Amon Carter Museum. She currently serves on the editorial board of the journal Photographica.

The stories gathered in the 1930's were stored and preserved, eventually finding a home in Duchas at UCD. It is only in the last decade that they have become available to a wider audience through digitisation.
Now in 2016, eighty years after the first project of this kind in Ireland, the information landscape has changed forever. We are now 'digital first'. It is likely that a large proportion of the interviews will be on mobile digital devices. The information gathered can be collated and published online in rapid time. This brings with it responsibility to all engaged with the project to ensure full permissions have been understood and received for anything published.
The teacher has final say on what goes live.
The Threads Project has been set up to allow content to be added by students and teachers. A teacher can set up groups of students in their account. This provides the students with simple tools to add their content and arrange it in a story format. Students can preview, but they cannot publish. The teacher has the final say, and once the content has been reviewed and sign-off forms checked, the teacher can put the stories live.
The objective of the Threads Project is to provide a platform for the storage and display of oral history recorded locally by primary and post-primary students. In the information age that we now live in, teaching students about the importance of describing information (metadata), classifying information and clearing copyright for various purposes is a valubale lesson, and one that they will be faced with on an ongoing basis.
In the immediate future, the plan is to store and display the stories and collections on www.scoilnet.ie/threads, however, similar to how the 1930's School's Project was initially stored locally, and finally preserved at National Level, where these oral histories reside in 80 years time is unknown. What is known, is that they hope to capture accounts from around Ireland, that will help preserve our knowledge of our ancestors, culture and heritage for future generations.
As an online first project, transparency is a key factor. Any person interviewed for the project needs to be made aware that the information will be stored and displayed online for use worldwide. A comprehensive consent form is provided for each interviewee, where they will be asked to confirm this understanding and also asked to asign copyright for the use of the information gathered to the Threads project, which resided under the Department of Education.
Ensure the students are aware of their ethical responsibility, and all information gathered is used for the purpose of the Threads projects only.

The "Green New Deal": Not Green, Not New, and Not Much of a Deal
Kevin Carson | Support this author on Patreon | October 22nd, 2012
The Green Party carries some fond associations for me. It was originally the party of small-scale production and relocalized economies. I have an increasingly difficult time remembering that, in the face of things like Green Presidential nominee Jill Stein's "Green New Deal" slogan and Vice Presidential nominee Cheri Honkala's "Turn the Rust Belt into a Green Belt" tour. The Green Party, whose industrial vision once sounded a lot like that of Ralph Borsodi and Murray Bookchin, sounds Michael Mooreish.
The original New Deal, after all, was tailored to the terminal crises of mass-production capitalism. It presupposed an economy of gargantuan, enormously expensive, capital-intensive production facilities, requiring an authoritarian distribution system to guarantee they could dispose of their output at full speed. For me, that's about the least libertarian form of economic organization imaginable — like something out of Terry Gilliam's "Brazil."
Like the first New Deal, Stein's Green New Deal is essentially Hamiltonian, aimed at preventing deflation. Not only does she propose solving the problem of underutilized mass-production facilities with Michael Moore's expedient of retooling underutilized GM factories to produce high-speed trains, but she calls for an official "full employment" policy based on direct government creation of jobs on a counter-cyclical basis. At present that would mean government creating 25 million public sector jobs, with hiring administered through local employment centers, to guarantee full employment at a living wage.
This Hamiltonian approach is just the kind of thing genuine greens used to object to. It works on exactly the same principles as planned obsolescence and the permanent war economy — that is, it generates enough waste production to guarantee the existing stock of labor and capital will be fully utilized at a target price.
Such proposals are just a greenwashed version of mid-20th century, mass-production capitalism.
Capitalism's chronic tendency toward underutilized capital and underemployment has been made far worse in recent years by technologies of ephemeralization that reduce the amount of labor and capital required to produce a given standard of living. But that's a problem of capitalism — a system based on imposing artificial scarcity and inefficiency, and erecting barriers against competition from more effficient alternatives, in order to extract rents — itself.
The proper approach is not to generate waste production or to make production inefficient enough to soak up all the labor and capital you've got lying around. It's to reduce the average work week to reflect the amount of labor it takes to produce our current standard of living, and to make sure all the productivity gains from new technology are passed on to workers and consumers rather than enclosed as a source of rent.
As for those high-speed bullet trains, the way to deal with the age of Peak Oil is not to assume existing scales of production and market areas, and replace less efficient with more efficient forms of long-distance shipping. It's not to assume the existing model of suburban monoculture and sprawl, and sell everyone electric cars. The proper approach, rather, is to reduce reliance on transportation inputs altogether.
High-speed bullet passenger trains may be a more economical way of doing what the airlines presently do in the case of travel for pleasure (the family that visits relatives across the country every year, or goes to Disneyland every few years). But for the vast majority of long-distance travel, the real solution is to replace the movement of people with the movement of information (e.g. video teleconferencing instead of business travel).
General Motors symbolizes everything most bureaucratic and pathological about the mid-20th century model of industrial capitalism. The Green Party, increasingly, seems to be adopting Michael Moore's nostalgic vision in which it's good for half the economy to be owned by GM — so long as everyone belongs to a UAW local.
Instead of a Rube Goldberg economy where the government hires enough people to run in hamster wheels or dig holes and fill them back in to keep everyone employed forty hours a week, how about eliminating the part of the price of goods and services that reflects embedded rents and waste (planned obsolescence, patents and copyrights, inefficient overly-centralized production methods, etc.) so that the average person can enjoy her current standard of living with a 15-hour week?
Instead of perpetuating the job culture and relying on inefficiency to keep us all employed, how about moving to a competitive market economy where all of us — instead of just a few rentier capitalists — share the gains from efficiency?

Trevor Hancock: Practising planetary health care in B.C. starts with hospital food waste – Times Colonist
It comes as a surprise to many people, including health-care professionals, that the health-care system has a large ecological footprint. But as I noted last week, if the global health-care system were a country, its carbon emissions would have made it the fifth-largest emitter on the planet, according to a 2019 report from Health Care Without Harm.
But climate change caused by the health sector's emissions results not only in environmental harm, but harm to human health. And that is a direct contravention of one of the fundamental principles of medicine, enshrined in the Hippocratic Oath, to do no harm; hence the need for health care without harm.
Of course, climate change is not the only environmental and health harm that the health-care system creates. For example, the Green Hospital Scorecard, a program of the Canadian Coalition for Green Health Care (founded 20 years ago), is used by hospitals to assess their policies and actions on energy and water use, pollution prevention and waste management, transportation, healthy food systems and climate change, as well as corporate leadership.
So now that Canada has signed on at COP26 to the global commitment to create sustainable low-carbon health-care systems, we have to look to the provinces, who actually run the health-care system, to step up and take action across this wide range of issues.
Here in B.C., some steps are already underway. The province's July 2021 mandate letters to the health authorities make fighting climate change one of five foundational principles that will inform their policies and programs.
In particular, they are expected to reduce their building emissions by 50 per cent and their fleet emissions by 40 per cent by 2030, as part of the CleanBC Plan. But B.C. will need to go much further to identify and tackle the full range of environmentally responsible health-care practices that are needed.
So I was delighted to learn recently that UBC has established a Planetary Healthcare Lab led by Dr. Andrea MacNeill, a cancer surgeon at Vancouver General Hospital who is passionately committed to reducing health care's environmental and health impacts. She also holds the newly established position of Medical Director of Planetary Health for Vancouver Coastal Health. The lab is an interdisciplinary research collaborative dedicated to creating health systems that promote both human and planetary health.
In an April statement, UBC noted the lab "will tackle everything from hospital food-related pollution and unnecessary patient testing and treatment through to emissions stemming from the medical supply chain."
Over time, the lab says, this will involve "embedding planetary healthcare in health system structures (e.g. hospital accreditation, quality reporting, supply chain)" so it becomes just part of everyday practice.
One key area the lab will be looking at is the health system's food services, which account for a large part of the sector's footprint and generate a lot of food waste, as is the case at the household level. A more ecologically sustainable diet will also have significant direct health benefits for patients and staff.
Another area is the supply chain, which accounts for about 80 per cent of health care's carbon emissions. Requiring a "circular economy" approach be adopted throughout the supply chain could thus substantially reduce the consumption and depletion of natural resources, as well as reducing emissions, waste and pollution.
The lab will also examine the environmental and health benefits of "virtual care," which already saves millions of kilometres of patient travel each year.
The new Planetary Health initiative at Vancouver Coastal Health is complemented by the work of its Energy and Environmental Sustainability team, which among other things works on active and clean transportation and minimizing energy and water consumption, carbon emissions, waste generation and toxic-chemical use.
Then there is GreenCare, which unites efforts across the four Lower Mainland health organizations (Vancouver Coastal Health, Fraser Health, Providence Health and the Provincial Health Services Authority). Their 2020 Environmental Performance Dashboard highlights significant reductions in the intensity of greenhouse-gas emissions, water use and waste generation across the four health authorities.
It's a good start. Now we need this to become provincial in scope, with planetary health offices at the provincial level as well as in all the health authorities.

Change up your workout routine – News24
Griffin Rushton
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – An early morning workout ended with panic and tears in southwest Albuquerque Monday after someone fired a gun outside the Defined Fitness on Central Avenue.
A woman – who wanted to stay anonymous – said it started around 9 a.m. with a loud bang. It didn't take long to realize it was a gunshot, but it's what happened next that has her questioning her membership.
"I'm still shocked just because it could have been someone who, who could have died in there," said the woman.
Hearts were pumping at the Defined Fitness near Central and Unser – but not because of a workout.
"We were starting to warm up, we heard a loud pop. And we thought maybe it was the speakers or the light bulb that busted. So we go and we take a look. And we hear the instructor scream and say, 'Oh, my goodness,'"
She said that's when they noticed a bullet hole the size of a quarter in the wall and then, more gunfire.
"We start hearing more bullet shots. And so at that time, everybody just panicked and round ran out of the room."
Albuquerque police confirmed there was a shootout between two cars behind the gym and a stray bullet hit the building. The woman says she's thankful no one was hurt, but is worried not enough people knew they were in danger in the first place.
"They should have evacuated and notified the members that something's going on, and please evacuate. Put more alert out there, versus letting everybody just sit there and continue to work out."
Defined Fitness sent KOB 4 a statement saying the incident was unrelated to the gym and says it's still a safe place for its members. But this is not the first time gym-goers have voiced concerns about safety at this location.
Back in November, KOB 4 spoke to a woman who said someone broke into her car in broad daylight and claimed Defined Fitness was not doing enough to keep its members safe.
Both women said they are not sure if they'll ever return to this location.
"I think I'm taking a little break from this gym, just so I can refocus and find my comfort again. So it'll be a while before I returned to this location."
An APD spokesperson said the gym's security footage has been reviewed and there are no leads on a potential suspect.

Jadakiss offered his definition of a gangster during an episode of the Facebook Watch series The Pull Up. In a clip shared on the rapper's social media, he explains how his lifestyle choices has made being healthy the cool thing to do, and why everyone should take a similar route.
"I think healthy is gangsta," the 46-year-old rapper exclaimed.
He continued, "Everybody want to be tough guys and this and that, and rich. If you not healthy, you can't be alive to spend your money. If you not healthy, you can't enjoy the party, you can't enjoy the perks of life, you won't be here to see your kids graduate, to see 'em score they first touchdown, to see things like that. So health is more important than anything."

The rappers not only encourage healthy habits among each other but have created space for others to do the same. In February, Styles P discussed the importance of why he decided to open Juices For Life in the Bronx with Good Morning America.
"It is important that you take care of the forgotten. Obviously, this started with us being because we're from a Black and brown community," said Styles. "We're from a poverty community, but why does that mean we don't have to eat right?"
He continued, "It's not about being a vegan, it's not about being plant-based, that's not what I'm pushing on people, we push balance and health," said Styles. "It's about the people."

How to be virtually anyone you want for £1.50
Life is just one big arcade game at the Tokyo Amusement Machine Show
By Leo Lewis
Saturday September 13 2003, 1.00am, The Times
EVER wondered how the "beautiful people" manage to look so beautiful? Their secret is out — and a video games company will sell it to you for a mere £1.50.
A new machine that proves conclusively that the camera can lie was unveiled yesterday at the Tokyo Amusement Machine Show. In the finest tradition of royal portrait artists, protective PR agents and the editors of glossy magazines, the device allows bumps and blemishes to be erased.
Purimode, one of more than 15,000 games on display at the show, is tipped by industry analysts to be the next big thing. It follows a long line of Japanese arcade games, starting with Space Invaders 25 years ago, that have gone on to conquer the market.


Printmaker David Davis was heard to say, "We have not seen brayers of this caliber and this quality since pre WWII." Holbein has harkened back to those days with this professional quality brayer.
It meets the demands of all professional etching artists. The rubber is super soft, about ½" thick, durable, and long lasting. The brayer has a wood handle as a finishing touch.

Saturday, July 3, 1858.Springfield, IL and Jacksonville, IL.
Lincoln and several hundred other people depart Springfield by train at approximately 6:30 a.m. to attend the Fourth of July festivities in Jacksonville. Also among the passengers are members of the Pioneer Fire Company, the German Turners gymnastic organization, and some of Springfield's musical bands. The train arrives in Jacksonville at about nine o'clock and the passengers, along with those awaiting the train's arrival, parade to a "pleasant grove" about "a mile and a half west" of the Jacksonville depot. Lincoln is one of the guests of honor on stage as former Congressman Richard Yates delivers a speech commemorating the July 4 holiday. Following Yates's speech, the crowd partakes in an "old fashioned barbecue." In the afternoon, the Turners perform a gymnastic routine for the audience, and "Mr. Brooks, the balloonist," ascends in his hot-air balloon. The day's activities conclude with a fireworks display. At nine o'clock in the evening, the Springfield group makes its way to the depot for the return trip.

Germans have been known to be quite aggressive .. and name one farmer that isn't a miserable sod.
well that's the kind of dog the usually use as police dogs, and they're trained to bite humans.
they are not some looser "please master at all costs" pet like retrievers. they are a powerful dog. powerful enough to be trained to kill solders. I have a saying for rotweilers which could apply to german sheapards too. "Rotweilers are like spandex... they have a bad reputation because of bad owners"
It was just published last month on MSN that the two breeds of dogs that bit people the most were Jack Russle Terriers and Chihuahua! Just because the dog is cute and little doesn't mean they don't bite!! I own 3 German Shepherd Dogs and not a one of them has evern even snapped at me or any one else! I would like to know exactally where you got the information that German Shepherd Dogs bite more humans than any other breed of dog? I have never heard this! But I did read about the Jack Russels and the Chihuahua just last month on my MSN page. Dogs aren't born agressive they are made that way...all dogs are naturally "protective" of their owners! That does not make them agressive!
I did not know they were they the highest, where did you read that? I know the are up there, but I dont think they are the worst. Irresponsible breeding the world over has left the German shepherd breed with a myriad of problems that a prospective owner must be concerned about. German shepherd's virtues outweigh its liabilities. Everything about the German shepherd expresses strength, agility and complete alertness. The German shepherd is, at heart, a friendly dog, but it will always want to make sure strangers have a right to enter its home before admittance is granted. Those who appear not to have entry rights are challenged by a formidable protector. Looks alone make the German shepherd an imposing foe -- males usually stand 24 - 26 inches at the shoulder, and females are only 2 inches smaller. Add strong bone, great body capacity and a head that can assume a challenging expression when necessary, and you have one of the best security systems known to humans. The German shepherd is a happy-go-lucky family member ready to play games, go hiking, take a swim or, on the other hand, sit quietly by its master's side while he or she reads a book or listens to music. Indeed, few dogs are more intelligent or trainable than the well-bred German shepherd. From the Dog Bite Statics Website: Facts & Stats about Dog Bites & Dog Aggression Dog between one and five years are involved in more dog bite incidences than dogs older than 6 years. Male dogs are more frequently involved when compared with female dogs. Mixed breeds and not pure bred dogs are the type of dog most often involved in inflicting bites to people. The pure-bred dogs most often involved are German shepherds and Chow chows. The list of breeds most involved in both bite injuries and fatalities changes from year to year and from one area of the country to another, depending on the popularity of the breed. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention document that a chained dog is 2.8 times more likely to bite than an unchained dog. Click here for a news story about a mauling of a 4 year old child by a chained pit bull Canines not spayed or neutered are three times more likely to bite than sterilized ones. The breeds most often involved in fatal attacks are Rottweilers and Pit bulls. From 1979 to 1998, at least 25 breeds of dogs have been involved in bite related deaths. Pit Bulls and Rottweilers were involved in more than 50 percent of these incidences.
Probably because these dogs are frequently trained as attack dogs?
Where is your evidence to prove this? We have a dangerous dogs list here in the UK and GSD'd aren't even on it! I think you need to back up your question with proof. GSD's are known to be extremely tolerant dogs. This is one of the many reasons they are so popular all over the world! Rotties, and Terrier dogs (including the Pit Bull) are more known for their biting even killing babies children and people. So where's your evidence please?
OMG... I wish the phrase "(insert breed of dog) bites more than any other breed" would just DIE ALREADY! I've read literally DOZENS of "verified statistics" and various studies on dog aggression, and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM comes up with a different "cursed breed". I've seen everything from pit bulls and rottweilers to dachshunds and chihuahuas blamed for being the most aggressive breed of dog. Simple fact is: THERE IS NO 'MOST AGGRESSIVE' BREED. It's a matter of training and breeding. If you have an inbred dog with a mental deficiency and half-assed training, yeah, he's probably going to bite someone.
This statistic will change from site to site. Along with the best family pet will change also. I've been told that Springer Spanials (whilst being highly active) are an excellent breed of choice as a family pet especially around children. Tell my ex partner from about 8 years ago that, and he will show you the gaping hole that has been left in his forearm as he raised his arm to protect his throat and face as his friends dog that knew him decided it was lunch time and he was on the menu. He has had 3 surgerys and now has permanent nerve and tendon damage affecting his hand and fingers and was lucky he didn't come off any worse. If he was a child and not the 6ft 3in bloke that he is I really do hate to think what could have happened.
If, and this is a great big IF, what you say is true, it would be because that is the dog most likely to be used in law enforcement and as guard dogs. No way is it because that is the most dangerous breed. The humane society has a list of the most dangerous breeds, based on the most bites in the home, not per dog breed, and it includes about a half dozen dogs. They are also quick to point out that any and every dog is apt to bite.
people down play the number of bites small breeds give because they are small and insignificant and couldn't hurt a fly... BULLSHITZHU. my friend related how her sisters shepard without provocation attacked her poor little shithead, I mean shitzhu, so they had to get rid of it because it was a threat to kids. some time later I was welcomed into their house with a pack of 4 little pieces of shitzhu yapping up a storm. after half an hour I decided to trust the owner and lower my guard and just walk casualy at which point this poor little terd bit me in the calf from behind. since there were others had he continued the attack I would have had no choice but to kill it... but of course the german shepard was the bad dog because he finished the fight which the skidmark had started. . smaller mammals have worse temperments. there are exceptions to the rule, but statisticaly it is true no matter if your are talking rodents, dogs or equestrians or what ever. shepards rotweilers and dobermans have the stats they have AFTER being influenced by statistacaly bad owners. rat dogs meet their stats with very little variance between owner types.
Orgiginal Question before later changes if any was: Did you know that German Shepherds bite humans more than any other breed of dog,WHY IS IT SO? My answer is: I think Magicsquares came closest to the answer i.e about german sheps being trained as attack dogs. I watch the show Cops on cable & see german sheps bite fleeing suspects a lot. So my answer is because german shepards are trained as police pursue and attack dogs.
We taste good. Like chicken.
I own a brillianty nice female german shepherd and a fluffy collie. A lot of the other dog walkers I meet are usually wary of the shepherd ,pull back their own dogs and call them hysterically ,if their own dogs (No matter if big or small )try to socialize with my shepherd ,who also just wants a 'sniff'.All the owners tension can be felt by the dogs and they could become nervous and react more than they would have otherwise. My shepherd is non-aggressive ,but will bark back ,if the other dog has started it.But one word from me and she stops immediately ,german shepherds are very obedient. I am sick of her being constantly judged just by her breed and people don't give her a chance to be normal and playful.They always cross the road etc. I think german shepherds have a bad reputation because the wrong people have bought and bred them ,trying to look more intimidating in their own low down neighbourhood! The fluffy collie gets treated totally different by people,petted and cooed over ,because she is sooo cute !Noone talks to the shepherd or strokes her,she is 6 years old now and has never in her life shown aggression to any person (not even the tiniest growl) So my point is If you constantly exspect a certain breed to be bad ,than you will find it to be a selffulfilling phrophecy ...just treat them all as individuals and innocent (!!!) until proofen guilty.
There nature maybe? They've always been used as guard dogs n stuff.
Mixed breeds and not pure bred dogs are the type of dog most often involved in inflicting bites to people. The pure-bred dogs most often involved are German shepherds and Chow chows. Of course, in the case of German Shepherds, some of these bites are intentional as they are used quite often in defense, law enforcement and security work.

Home Lifestyle Art Review: Dismantling 'The Glass Menagerie'
Review: Dismantling 'The Glass Menagerie'
Whereas Williams's stage directions describe the set as "rather dim and poetic," this production begins with a bleak, nearly naked, fully lighted stage, with a metal cart of props. (Andrew Lieberman did the set, with lighting by Adam Silverman.) The cast enters solemnly through an audience-level exit door, assembling in front of the stage with the house lights still on.
From left, Joe Mantello, Ms. Ferris, Finn Wittrock and Ms. Field in a scene from the play, directed by Sam Gold.
Sara Krulwich/The New York Times
When Tom, playing with the idea of the writer as illusionist, starts off by telling us that "I have things up my sleeves," you think, "No, you couldn't possibly; you're wearing a T-shirt." Later he does extract something from his clothing, a shimmering magician's scarf, but it comes from the front of his trousers, after they're unbuckled and unzipped. Truth, it seems, lies south of the imagination.
As you may have inferred, this is a production in which subtext elbows text out of bounds. The superannuated Southern belle Amanda, Tom's garrulous and desperate mother, is allowed few of the fantasist flourishes that usually embellish the character.
Instead, Ms. Field gives us a grim, angry, kitchen-sink Everymom, relentless in her disapproval of her underachieving grown-up children, with whom she shares a St. Louis apartment during the Great Depression. Though advance word had it that Mr. Mantello's interpretation would unveil Tom's gay identity, he comes across as a middle-aged, nerdy intellectual.
There are even inklings of Woody Allen in Mr. Mantello's line readings. He seems distanced from the past not only by the years but also by a flippant detachment. Shouldering the immense burden of being the cause of Amanda and Tom's discontent and guilt is Madison Ferris, making her Broadway debut in the role of Laura, the reclusive daughter of the family.
Unlike most actresses who have taken on this part, Ms. Ferris, who has muscular dystrophy, is visibly disabled and spends much of the play in a wheelchair. When she walks, arching her back, she uses her arms as well as her legs. Everyday movement is a struggle for this Laura, who in the script has only a slight limp, and the care and protection of her loom larger than ever for her mother and her brother. (Dad left the family long before the play begins.)
Ms. Ferris with Mr. Wittrock, her Gentleman Caller, holding forth on the unicorn figurine from her glass collection.
Yet Ms. Ferris, who emanates a no-nonsense spirit of independence, is the least pitiable Laura I have seen. She stands up to her mother in conversation with the eye-rolling exasperation of a contemporary teenager, and she has an insolent beauty, with a face that brings to mind the young Debbie Harry.
She is not the willfully invisible, shyness-sickened girl recalled by the play's fourth character, Jim O'Connor (Finn Wittrock), who knew Laura when they were in high school. Jim is better known as the Gentleman Caller, the embodiment of Amanda's hopes for a husband for Laura, or, as Tom puts it, "the long-delayed but always expected something that we live for."
Jim is also described by Tom as "an emissary from a world of reality." So perhaps it makes sense that Mr. Wittrock gives the most conventional, and vital, performance in the production, exuding an only slightly exaggerated air of shaky all-American confidence.
But even he does not escape the impression that this production is less a thought-through interpretation than a sustained scene-study class. Individual encounters seem to float within the "safe space" of the Actors Studio, where students are encouraged to experiment.
Thus we have Tom pulling Amanda into his lap, as if she were a cuddly doll, and Ms. Field trying on different accents. She only goes full Southern in the Gentleman Caller scenes, for which she has been outfitted with a ratty, Halloween princess concoction of pink tulle (by the costume designer Wojciech Dziedzic).
It should be noted that Ms. Field — who provided a first-rate Amanda at the Kennedy Center in Washington in 2004 — brings emotional conviction to all of Amanda's incarnations. But like everything else in here, including an indoor rainstorm in which the Gentleman Caller makes like Gene Kelly, they fail to connect in meaningful ways.
Oh, yes, that rainstorm. It may make you think about a similar downpour last season in the Belgian director Ivo van Hove's stunning interpretation of Arthur Miller's "A View From the Bridge," or about the ferocious wind that blew through his other Miller production on Broadway, "The Crucible." This probably isn't a coincidence.
Mr. Gold staged an earlier "Menagerie" for the Toneelgroep Amsterdam, where Mr. van Hove is the artistic director and the world's leading practitioner of explosive theatrical minimalism. It's an approach that Mr. Gold deployed to dazzling effect in his recent New York Theater Workshop production of "Othello," starring Daniel Craig and David Oyelowo.
This sensibility can work beautifully with the tragedies of Miller and Shakespeare. Pure, visceral emotions, at odds with a society's moral code, dominate such works. But with Williams, the tension lies in the poetic conflict between style and substance.
Illusions are part of the fabric of his plays, as well as of his fantasy-spinning characters, like Amanda and Blanche DuBois. They are transparent illusions, allowing clear views of the undermining reality beneath. Williams saw heroism and artistry in such poses and pretenses. Take them away, and you deprive the plays of their engine of conflict.
There is more than one way to do "Menagerie." John Tiffany's heart-rending 2013 production, starring Cherry Jones, also dispensed with conventional scenery and, at times, naturalistic movement. But this only enhanced the notion of the play as a work of capricious, tortured memory.
On occasion, Mr. Gold's interpretation takes on the vicious aspect of a nightmare in which you see your past at its distorted worst. But even that vision is not sustained. When a plot turn plunges the theater into abject darkness late in the play, it only gives literal life to what you've been feeling all along.

The proposals which could mean someone earning £80,000 a year pays the same tax and someone earning £100,000 a year has to pay an eye watering £20 a week extra in tax have caused fury amongst people that don't earn anything like that.
One furious Sun reader told us that despite earning £66,000 shy of the £80,000 stage where they might start paying slightly more tax, they might win the lottery and risk winning slightly less and having a well funded NHS.
Euthenasia, yes euthenasia is the answer!

Super cashback, 1500 euros on the way
Shannon Bailey December 8, 2021 3 min read
Good news coming for 100,000 taxpayers who will see 1,500 euros credited to their checking account, without any need to apply. This is what happens.

December has arrived, bringing with it the last month of the year holidays loved by young and old alike. Just as Christmas approaches, there is so much to do the shopping Goods and services of various kinds, to be donated to friends and relatives. To this end, of course, you have to get rid of a file Money Precisely for this reason, the news about 100,000 taxpayers could not go unnoticed.
They do, in fact, arrive directly on their checking accounts well 1,500 EUR. If all this is not enough, the parties involved will not have to submit any applications, as is the case for accreditation automatic. In fact, the respective payments are made directly by the Ministry of Finance to the current account of the payable parties. But for what reason? So let's get into the details and see all there is to know about it.
Money, €1,500 reached the checking account of 100,000 taxpayers thanks to the Super Cashback
As mentioned, payments are on the way from 1,500 EUR Directly to the current account of 100 thousand euros from taxpayers who, for this purpose, will not have to submit any applications. But for what reason? Well, you need to know that this is the compensation of the program Super cash back.
In this regard, we remind you that the previous executive guide county I decided to start the program CashbackWith the aim of encouraging the use of various electronic payment methods to combat tax evasion. That's why it was decided to guarantee a 10% refund max 150€, for transactions executed during the reference semester.

But not only that, the program was of particular interest Super cash backWith a prize worth 1500 EUR, intended for the first 100,000 users who registered the largest number of transactions. Thus, the last amount will be added precisely to the long-awaited super cashback compensation these days.
Say goodbye to cashback, won't come back in 2022
dwelling on CashbackWe remind you that June 30, 2021 was the last day of this programme. In fact, the Draghi government decided to freeze this initiative, which was therefore not confirmed for the second half of the year.
But not only that, contrary to expectations, it was then definitively related with the Budget maneuver 2022. Thus, the initiative, which attracted the interest of 8.9 million Italians until June and has already been suspended, will not return in 2022.
So, for now, I still only have to pay my money Super Cashback Refunds. The latter, as already mentioned, is intended for the first 100 thousand participants in the program who, from January 1 to June 30, 2021, have made the largest number of transfers.
Super Cashback, Payments On The Way: Everything You Need To Know
As already mentioned, the government has categorically decided to say goodbye to cashback, and therefore will not return with the start of the new year. often a topic controversyOne of the incentives that attracted the most attention was the Super Cashback.
The latter, in fact, prompted a lot of people to do it Use tricks Of various kinds just to climb the rankings. Trick Splitting a single purchase into many small batches. A situation that has certainly not gone unnoticed, and it could have repercussions.

In fact, a review can be made for those who carried out micro-transactions to increase the number of receipts and thus rise in the ranking. This could be one of the reasons why payments are late compared to what was expected.
In fact, automatic payment should be made by November 30, as stipulated in Decree-Law No. n. 99 approved by the Cabinet on June 30, 2021. However, payments can be postponed for 10 days in relation to the specified date, but in any case no later than mid-December.

YONKERS, N.Y. — A man has been sentenced for shooting a Yonkers officer in the face in 2017, and for an unrelated shooting two weeks prior, Westchester County District Attorney officials said Friday.
Frank Valencia was sentenced to 24 years to life in prison for shooting a Yonkers police officer, the Westchester County District Attorney announced Feb. 8, 2019.
Frank Valencia will serve 24 years to life on two counts of attempted aggravated murder and 15 years for second-degree criminal possession of a weapon for the Sept. 25, 2017, shooting involving Officer Kayla Maher. He was also sentenced to three and a half years for second-degree criminal possession of a weapon in a Sept. 11, 2017, shooting, the DA said.
The sentences will be served concurrently and in state prison.
Valencia was 18 years old when he opened fire on Maher and another police officer who approached him following reports of a suspicious parked vehicle at Marshall Road and Ridge Drive in the Park Hill section of Yonkers, according to the DA.
A bullet struck Maher in the jaw, the DA said. She was hospitalized and released two days later.
Two weeks prior, Valencia fired several shots at a vehicle that had multiple people inside, the DA said. No one was injured in that incident.


Surface Roughness Tester is design to measure 2 parameters (Ra, Rz) using the built-in Diamond pin probe. It has 4 wave filtering methods (RC, PC-RC,GAUSS & D-P). In addition, said parameters can be downloaded directly to PC via the optional RS-232 CD software & cables.This terster is widely used in production site to measure surface roughness of various machinery-processed parts and calculate corresponding parameters.
Easy measurement can be done by placing the sensor on the surface then uniformly slides along the surface by driving the mechanism inside the tester. The sensor measures the roughness of the surface via the sharp built-in probe.
This roughness causes displacement of the probe which results in change of inductive amount of induction coils so as to generate analogue signal, which is in proportion to the surface roughness at output end of phase-sensitive rectifier. The exclusive DSP processes and calculates then outputs the results clearly on LCD.


Is Portable Storage a Good Option for Your Move?
By definition it is a temporary or portable storage unit designed and used primarily for temporary storage of building materials, household goods or personal items. Can be used on a limited basis on residential property. Companies that provide these convenient little units are Pods, Uboxes, Packrat to name a few.
If you are looking to free up space in your home or business, using portable storage rentals will indeed free up that space. This temporary storage space is easy access for movers and any personal access to the temporary space. The portable unit could be used a long term expensive shed, but we don't think anyone would want to do that.
It is only a TEMPORARY if you need convenience but don't have a defined contract term.

Subaru's Anti-Crash Feature Lures Japanese Seeking Safety: Cars
By Ma Jie and Yuki Hagiwara | September 5, 2013
Inching forward in heavy traffic toward the ski slopes of Niigata, Japan, Tomohiro Azuma cursed as the car in front stopped suddenly, forcing him to slam on the brakes of his Subaru Legacy.
"There was a voice in my head saying, 'Damn, too late!'" Azuma, 46, said of the near-collision in February. "Then my car stopped with a jerk and for a moment I didn't know what had happened."

The information technology manager from Tokyo had averted a pileup thanks to a feature called EyeSight, which stopped his car when the gap with the vehicle ahead became perilously small. The technology has helped Subaru build a reputation as a leader in safety — typically the domain of high-end brands like Mercedes-Benz and Volvo — and buck falling sales in its home market.
"Subaru may not be the carmaker with the best technology globally, but in Japan it's No. 1," said Takashi Morimoto, a consultant at Frost & Sullivan in Tokyo. "Thanks to successful marketing, from the consumer's point of view, it's the front- runner."
The brand, owned by Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd., offers EyeSight as a 100,000-yen ($1,002) add-on in Japan for most of its models. In the first half, about 90 percent of Japan buyers of Subarus that offer the feature opted to install it. That helped the Tokyo-based company boost Japanese deliveries 40 percent from a year earlier, even as the country's auto market fell 12 percent, according to the Japan Automobile Dealers Association.
Two Cameras
EyeSight monitors traffic via two cameras on either side of the rearview mirror. It can slow the car or brake automatically, and it sounds an alert if there is danger of a collision or the driver is swerving outside the lane.
Subaru says its system is an affordable alternative to those in luxury brands, which often include radars. The company acknowledges that stereo cameras aren't as precise because they operate much like a human's eyes. A dirty windshield or rain or snow can hobble EyeSight, and sudden events such as an animal or pedestrian dashing in front of the car are hard for the system to detect immediately.
Subaru introduced EyeSight in May 2010, when it began selling a taller and bigger Legacy to cater to tastes in the U.S., the automaker's biggest market. For Japan, where roads and parking spots tend to be narrower, Subaru pitched EyeSight as an antidote to buyer concerns that cars as hefty as the new Legacy would be hard to handle on crowded streets.
Local Appeal
"Our salesmen knew a larger size wouldn't work in Japan," President Yasuyuki Yoshinaga said in an interview in Tokyo on Aug. 5. "So they decided to try promoting EyeSight aggressively."
The automaker ran television commercials, held nationwide test drives, and cut the price for the option by half to make it as affordable as replacing a bumper in Japan.
Subaru's success in boosting sales through EyeSight has spurred other nonluxury automakers to roll out similar features to bolster their safety image and create an extra source of revenue, according to Roland Berger Strategy Consultants. Global sales of such driver assistance systems are expected to more than double from last year to $5.4 billion by 2017, Berger estimates.
Mazda Motor Corp. gives buyers of its revamped Mazda6 the option of technology like EyeSight. About 70 percent of Japanese buyers of the model, released in November, have chosen the option, the company says.
Ford Motor Co.'s 2013 Fusion sedan offers a lane-keeping feature, adaptive cruise control and forward-collision warning as extras. Volkswagen AG's Up! wagon has a standard laser-based emergency-braking system, and Honda's new Fit, available this month in Japan, will have an auto-stop function similar to EyeSight.
Subaru has yet to sell Eyesight heavily in the U.S., where the brand markets its vehicles as safe and also fun to drive. EyeSight is available on the 2013 Legacy and Outback models as part of a package of extras that can cost more than $4,000. The company says 7 percent of cars sold in the first half in the U.S. had EyeSight.
Subaru says it has no plans to offer EyeSight as a standalone option in the U.S. because capacity constraints at a supplier mean it can't secure enough components to meet the demand in its home market.
In Japan, EyeSight has helped broaden Subaru's appeal beyond its core customer base of driving geeks who choose the brand for its low center of gravity and four-wheel-drive prowess.
"I visited dealers before the birth of my kid because the Eyesight offers so many safety features," said Michihiro Sasaki, 37, who bought a Legacy in 2011. "In the end, I found the car was fun to drive, too."

Local authorities said a 94-year-old woman was the latest victim.
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. ― A 11th person has died after a nursing home in Hollywood, Florida, had its air conditioning system knocked out by Hurricane Irma earlier this month.
City officials reported the latest death on Friday, more than a week after the first victims were discovered. The agency identified the most recent victim as Alice Thomas, 94.
Among those who died earlier, three were found dead at the Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills on Sept. 13 when Broward County fire rescue crews received several calls from the nursing home starting around 3 a.m., the city of Hollywood said in a statement. Another resident had died Sept. 12 and the body had been picked up by a funeral home. The remaining victims died after being evacuated to a nearby hospital.
The other victims have been identified as Bobby Owens, 84; Manuel Mario Medieta, 96; Miguel Antonio Franco, 92; Estella Hendricks, 71; Gail Nova, 71; Carolyn Eatherly, 78; Betty Hibbard, 84; Albertina Vega, 99; Carlos Canal, 93 and Martha Murray, 94.
The official causes of death have not yet been determined.
Hollywood Police Chief Tomas Sanchez said his department has opened a criminal investigation into the matter.
Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration issued an emergency suspension of the rehab center's license on Wednesday, nearly a week after Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) ordered an emergency moratorium on admissions to the facility.
When Broward County fire rescue crews arrived on the scene Wednesday morning, they found "a number of people in respiratory distress and other distress," prompting them to evacuate the facility's 158 patients, according to city spokeswoman Raelin Storey.
"Once we determined that we had multiple deaths at the facilities and that the facilities are extremely hot, we made the decision to evacuate all of the patients," Storey said at a news conference.
Many of the patients were taken to Memorial Regional Hospital, across the street from the rehab center, Storey noted.
Randy Katz, the medical director for the hospital's emergency medical department, said the death toll could "potentially" rise, as more than a dozen patients remained under emergency care on Wednesday afternoon.
Local ABC affiliate WPLG spoke to the air conditioner repairman who had been trying to fix the rehab center's cooling system.
Airstron employee Dave Long told WPLG that he had called Florida Power & Light several times over a period of days, requesting that the company fix a broken fuse that had popped out during Irma.
Rob Gould, chief communications officer for Florida Power & Light, wouldn't comment on whether his company received calls for help from the rehab center. But he noted that Broward County officials never identified the facility as "top-tier critical infrastructure" as they had done with the hospital across the street.
Patients are evacuated at the Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills on Wednesday.
The rehab facility has been cited twice in the past three years for violations related to federal requirements concerning back-up power generators, according to STAT, a health-oriented news website.
The nursing home's owner, Jack Michel, also has a troubled history. Michel, a doctor, is listed on state health care records as the president of Larkin Community Hospital, which neighbors the Hollywood Hills rehab center and which was also evacuated Wednesday.
In 2006, Larkin's owners were fined $15.4 million by the U.S. Justice Department in a settlement of a civil fraud complaint, reported the Miami Herald. Michel had been accused of conspiring with other physicians to admit patients to the hospital for unnecessary medical treatments for financial gain.
The Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills did not immediately respond to multiple requests for comment.
Michele Callahan, a music teacher from Miami, said her 84-year-old mother had been a patient at Hollywood Hills until just a few days before Irma hit. She told HuffPost she was deeply saddened by the eight deaths, but not terribly shocked.
Callahan said several factors, including poor communication and limited staffing, made her concerned during her mother's nearly two-week stay at the facility. She described one visit in which her sister discovered their mother had been sitting in urine-drenched clothing for hours.
Following the rehab center's evacuation, police conducted welfare checks on the other 42 assisted living centers and nursing home facilities in the city. As a result, four patients in their 70s were transported from an assisted living facility to a hospital for observation, the city said in a statement.
This story has been updated with the latest death count.
Travis Waldron contributed reporting from Florida. Lydia O'Connor also contributed reporting.

Music for stage and radio
Autumn 2011 I composed and recorded music for the new theatre play 'Vid din sida' (By Your side) written by my good friend and great writer Sigmund Løvåsen. The play was staged by Teater Innlandet, a regional theatre in Norway, and it was a huge success with lots of people coming to see it on tour in Hedmark and Oppland counties. Most of the play is situated inside a couple's home, the only characters are the couple and the man's daughter. Gradually you understand that the man is getting dementia, and the play is about the male character going backwards in his life, while the two other characters have to move on. I tried to make some music that had something down-to-earth about it, playing with present and past. Here's a nice promo video from the play:
In 2011 Maja S.K. Ratkje and I made music for the radio play 'NEID', based on Elifriede Jelinek's novel with the same title. The play was 10 episodes each 55 minutes long, and they had quite a lot of music in it. Bayerische Rundfunk was the commissioner, the director was Karl Bruckmaier, and all of the text was read by the actress Sophie Rois. If you have 10 hours to spare and understand some German you might consider listening to it on Bayerische Rundfunk's web radio.
In 2012 I was approached by another German radio channel, Deutschlandradio Kultur in Berlin, to make music for yet a radio play: Die Leere füllen. Ingo Kottkamp and Ute Bongartz directed the play about the German architect and artist Werner Ruhnau, centering around his work with Yves Klein, especially the building of Theater Gelsenkirchen (1959), as well as Ruhnau's contribution to the Olympics in Munich 1972: 'Spielstrasse', which included performance-artists from all over Europe and Japan. The music for this play was partly based on an excisting tune, but mainly improvised.
Later this year, or next year, a radio version of the theatre play 'Den andre mannen i meg' will be broadcasted on Norwegian national radio. This play is based on the Norwegian poet Olav H. Hauge's diaries. Actor Henrik Mestad will read from the diaries as well as poems, the music is by Trygve Seim and me.
Also for Norwegian national radio, Maja S.K. Ratkje and I will compose and record original music to the radio play 'Simons historie' (Simon's Story). The story is about a veteran coming home from the war in Afghanistan, and his difficulties in meeting a society that doesn't want to hear about his experiences or problems. A very strong text, that I hope we can make equally strong music to! This radio play is in one episode and will be broadcasted later this year.
All of this music, except the Hauge piece, is recorded in our home studio here at Svartskog, Norway.

Q: How to tackle this squaring of inequality problem
If the roots of quadratic equation     $$x^2 − 2ax + a^2 + a – 3 = 0$$
  are real and less than $3$, find the range of $a$.

The roots are   $a \pm \sqrt {3 – a}$
For the roots to be real, we must have  a < 3.
Also, for the roots to be less than 3, we must have $\pm \sqrt {3 – a } \lt 3 – a $
If squaring both sides is allowable, I will get $(a – 2)(a – 3) > 0$. Then the problem is solved.
The question is:- how to convince others that the squaring of both sides of $\pm \sqrt {3 - a } \lt 3 - a $ is allowable?

A: Yes , since we have $$3\geq a$$ you can square the inequality with $+$ sign and you will get $$3-a<(3-a)^2$$ so you will get $$0<(3-a)(3-a-1)$$
$$-\sqrt{3-a}<3-a$$ is fulfilled for $$3>a$$

A: You don't have to calculate the roots, nor square them – only use high-school theorems on the sign of quadratic polynomials:

*

*The polynomial $p(x)=x^2 − 2ax + a^2 + a – 3$ has real roots, so its reduced discriminant is non-negative:
$$\Delta'=a^2-(a^2+a-3)=3-a \ge 0,\text{ i.e. } a\le 3.$$

*$3$ has to be outside the interval of the roots $x_1, x_2$: this means $p(3)=a^2-5a+6>0$. As the roots of $a^2-5a+6$ are $2$ and $3$, we must have $a<2\quad\text{or}\quad a>3$.

*From condition 2, we know that either $3< x_1<x_2$ or $x_1<x_2<3$. In other words either  both roots are greater than $3$ or both are less. To ensure that we're in the latter case, it is enough to ensure their arithmetic mean is less than $3$. Now
$$\frac{x_1+x_2}2=a$$
so the condition is $a<3$.

Combining all these conditions, we obtain $\;a\in \color{red}{(-\infty,2)}$.

A: The inequality $\;\underbrace{- \sqrt {3 – a } }_{{-}}\leq \underbrace{3 – a}_{+}\;$ holds trivially.
As $\;3-a\geq 0\;$ and  $\;\sqrt {3 – a } \geq 0,\;$ squaring $\sqrt {3 – a } \geq 3 – a\;$ is legitimate, as stated by @auscrypt.

A: Since $x_1,x_2<3$ we have $3-x_i>0$ so their product is positive:$$ 0<9-3(x_1+x_2)+x_1x_2$$
thus $$0<9-6a+a^2+a-3 = a^2-5a+6=(a-3)(a-2)$$
So $a\in (-\infty ,2)\cup (3,\infty)$. But since the discriminat must be $\geq 0$ we get $a\leq 3$ so we have $a\in (-\infty ,2)$
Now let us prove that all $a<2$ are good.
We have $$x_1= a-\sqrt{3-a}\leq a<3$$ We are left if $x_2= a+\sqrt{3-a}$ is smaller than $3$ if $a<2$ i.e. $$\sqrt{3-a} <3-a$$ which is true since $3-a>1$

A: You can square both sides of an inequality $x<y$ to get $x^2<y^2$, provided $x\geq 0$.

A: Note that you will have different results while squaring both sides of
$$ \sqrt {3 - a } \lt 3 - a$$
and
$$- \sqrt {3 - a } \lt 3 - a$$
If you take square of both sides by taking this into consideration, it is allowable.

A: It's not always allowable; take $a = 2.99$, then $-\sqrt{3-a} = -0.1 < 0.01 = 3-a$. But squaring both sides gives $0.01<0.0001$, which is false. The issue is that negative signs cause issues when you square, since the absolute value of the left side may be larger than the right.
To solve this problem, note that both roots are real when $a\le 3$, and note that the largest root, $a + \sqrt{3-a}$ is less than $3$. So $a + \sqrt{3-a} < 3$, and so $\sqrt{3-a} < 3-a$. Here, we are allowed to square, because there is no negative sign, which is the key. Then you solve the quadratic, which is straightforward.

A: You can avoid squareing inequality.
Since $2a =x_1+x_2 <6$ we have $a<3$ and $$a^2+a-3=x_1x_2 < 9$$ we have also $a^2+a-12 =(a+4)(a-3)<0$ so $a\in (-4,3)$.

A: $y=(x-a)^2+(a-3)$;
$a-3 >0:$ This parabola does not cut the $x-$axis ($(x-a)^\ge 0)$.
Hence $a-3\le 0$.
Roots:
$y=(x-a)^2 +(a-3) = 0;$
$x_{1,2}=a\pm \sqrt{3-a} <3$.
1)Let $0\le a \lt 3$ ($a=3$ is ruled out)
$\sqrt{3-a} <3-a=\sqrt{3-a}\sqrt{3-a}$.
This is true for $\sqrt{3-a} >1$, or $ 3-a >1$.
Hence $2>a \ge 0$.
2) Let $a <0$;
Then $-|a| +\sqrt{3+|a|} <3$.
$\sqrt{3+|a|} <3+|a|=\sqrt{3+|a|}\sqrt{3+|a|}.$
This is true for $\sqrt{3+|a|} >1$, or $3+|a|>1$.
Hence $a<0$;
Combining:
$a \in (-\infty, 2)$

The aim of Textile art and media master's study programme is to prepare highly qualified textile artists, who are able to (self-)critically analyse, evaluate, and explain the phenomenon of textile culture, interpret art processes in a wide cultural context, as well as independently implement creative ideas. This study programme promotes interactions of textile art and science, interdisciplinary and technological research as well as application of creativity in the fields of contemporary art and textile industry.
After completion of master's studies graduates can pursue a national and/or international artist's career, they can engage in individual creative activity, participate in competitions and projects, international and national exhibitions, work as artists in the field of applied textile or textile industry, and establish creative companies. Also they can work in various state and private organisations that require employees with a wide humanitarian profile, work in higher education institutions and continue with Third Cycle studies (art doctorate studies).
Currently, in global artistic and industrial textile fields radical changes are taking place, which open up new perspectives and fields of activity. In this context, the role of a textile artist-researcher is very significant and highly needed. In our society there is a clear need for textile art specialists with a university education, who have mastered a wide spectrum of creative methods applied in textile industry, are able to use traditional and contemporary textile techniques in a universal, flexible and conceptual way, understand the context of this multidisciplinary field of art not only from a practical but also from a theoretical point of view. In the field of art and culture TD graduates join not only the ranks of professional art exhibition participants and educators, but those of creators as well. Practical and analytical skills acquired during master's studies are a big advantage in contemporary art practice based on conceptuality and multidisciplinarity as well as use of various textile technologies and media.
Versatility and flexibility and not the acquired subject-specific skills, perceived through mastering of craft and its peculiarities, are the qualities that determine the demand and are especially relevant for young professionals in the constantly changing multicultural art field and job market. Therefore, this study programme was created in order to develop these qualities. Textile art and media master's study programme is oriented at preparing artists, who base their creation on analytical-critical thinking, respond to contemporary reality by combining subject-specific knowledge with social-humanities subjects. These artists are able to apply technological and theoretical subject-specific knowledge and skills in interdisciplinary, conceptual art and science, publically and socially engaged art projects as well as textile industry applied projects.
The purpose of Textile art and media master's study programme is to provide students with the latest artistic and academic knowledge based on applied research that can help them find best solutions to various problems that arise in new and unfamiliar environments, can be used when working with innovations and carrying out professional artistic-academic research and artistic-creative activities. Students develop their professional knowledge in the field of latest textile technologies, scientific innovations, new media art (video, photography), and interdisciplinary arts; and theoretical knowledge in the fields of Lithuanian and world art history, art philosophy, sociology, anthropology, art management and curation. The results of artistic-academic research are integrated in creative practice.
It is important to prepare creative individual-textile artist and textile artist-practitioner, who are able to work together with creative from other disciplines and lead on creative projects. Therefore, in order to implement these aims, regular discussions and consultations with different specialists, professionals and experts of various fields take place on a regular basis throughout the study programme. This helps students to demonstrate their rhetorical skills providing them with an opportunity to present their ideas, projects and other works.


Maybe It's Time To Have Your Hearing Tested?
It's true what they say, If you have a problem seeing correctly you'd get glasses! But if we have problem with our Hearing we tend to ignore it.
At HearAll Hearing we strive to bring awareness of Hearing loss and of available treatments to our local community through talks with local groups such as the Men's Shed's and active retirement to name but a couple. Perhaps one of the reasons that we tend to ignore Hearing loss in due in part to the gradual nature of the decline in hearing for most of us. Hearing loss in Ireland affects 1 in 6 adults and increases to 1 in 4 adults over the age of 55! Degenerative or age-related hearing loss can start from the age of around 40 onwards and happens at a snail's pace for most. Coupled with modern life's noise pollution and side affects of some modern medicines this hearing loss is starting to affect more and more people at even younger ages.
If you notice Hearing loss with family members or loved ones or indeed yourself then it is imperative to avail of a Hearing Test to see how serious the problem is and what if anything can or needs to be done to rectify the problem. Even if you are happy with your current level of Hearing, all adults should have a routine test at least every two years. Signs of Hearing loss can be difficulty to hear clearly in groups or places with some background noise. If you find yourself turning the T.V. or Radio up louder than usual or louder than others at home then this too is a warning sign that your hearing my be on the decline. Ringing or buzzing in your ears (known as tinnitus and a topic we could cover here by itself another time) is also another indication that your hearing levels may be starting to drop. Thankfully there are many remedys out there to help with hearing loss from over the counter ear drops or nasal sprays, ear wax removal and even small discreet Hearing Aids.


ENGLAND and Tottenham star Kyle Walker will not face any disciplinary action after he was pictured taking nitrous oxide, the FA has confirmed.
The picture, taken this summer, appeared in a newspaper yesterday triggering an apology from the full-back.
A statement said: "Kyle Walker has expressed his regret for an error of judgement when inhaling nitrous oxide earlier this year.


Lowell, Mass. — One of the most influential women in Massachusetts politics has joined the long list of Methuen leaders endorsing Democrat Lori Trahan for Congress.
Former Mayor Sharon Pollard, the city's first female mayor, will formally endorse Trahan at a Wednesday event at Merrimack Valley Country Club in Methuen. The event takes place from 6 to 8pm. All are welcome to attend.
Pollard joins Former Mayor Stephen Zanni, City Councilor-at-Large Ryan Hamilton, and former state Rep. Thomas Lussier in endorsing Trahan for Congress. The Methuen Firefighters Local 1691 have also thrown their support behind Lori. Earlier in the month, Trahan won the Methuen Democratic City Committee straw poll for 3rd District Congressional candidates by a 38-vote margin.
Trahan said she was humbled by Pollard's endorsement, calling her a role model for so many women looking to get into politics.
Trahan said she has a great many connections in the city dating back to her days of working as chief of staff for then-Congressman Marty Meehan.
"I look forward to working hard for the families that call Methuen home and I am so thankful for the support my campaign has received here," Trahan said.
