DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This revised application for a Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (RFA-PA-95-049 K01) describes a career development and research plan with a long-term goal of understanding the neural bases of affect dysregulation (and affective disorders) in adolescence. The approach build's upon the applicant's previous neuroimaging studies of genetic influences on the functional dynamics of the amygdala and prefrontal cortex in adults. This application seeks to extend that line of investigation into a specific developmental and clinical framework to address key questions about affect regulation and pubertal brain maturation relevant for adolescent affective disorders. The training plan emphasizes a cognitive and affective neuroscience approach to understanding the development of affect regulation; it also includes specific activities aimed at increasing the applicant's knowledge of developmental, clinical, statistical and ethical issues relevant to this line of investigation. The research plan builds upon a well-established program project investigating neurobehavioral changes in pediatric affective disorders (P01-MH41712). Component one of the research plan involves the addition of genotyping and a neuroimaging study to an existing protocol that includes samples of depressed, anxiety disordered, and normal control children and adolescents. Component two involves the recruitment of a new sample of female controls to address a specific question about the impact of the pubertal rise in estrogen on amygdala-prefrontal functional interactions in normal development. Together, these studies and training program will enable the applicant to advance understanding of genetic and maturational influences on the development of affect regulation during adolescence within an affective neuroscience framework in ways that will help inform the etiology and diathesis (and eventually, more effective treatment) of early onset affective disorders.
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Human behavior involves the unique capacities to regulate our own psychological states to pursue desired goals, bring our behavior in line with internal/external standards, manage our emotions, and cope with challenges and opportunities that arise. The term self-regulation denotes the processes through which people intentionally or automatically initiate, maintain, and terminate their own thoughts and behaviors in the service of pursuing personal goals. The importance of understanding self-regulation becomes obvious when one considers the array of public health problems that can be traced to problematic goal pursuit. Many behaviors that put people at increased risk for illness, disability, and death - such as obesity, eating disorders, smoking, alcohol abuse, suicidality, and drug addiction - involve difficulties with self-regulation. Thus, maladaptive self-regulation is an important contributory factor in a large number of psychological, social, and health-related problems. We believe that significant progress can be made in understanding and overcoming self- regulatory problems by combining existing theory and research in behavioral science with parallel findings in related disciplines. Recent developments in cognitive neuroscience (specifically, the role of the orbitofrontal cortex in self-regulation of goal pursuit) and imaging genetics (specifically, how heritable variability in the gene encoding catechol-O- methyltransferase [COMT], an enzyme that controls extracellular dopamine in the frontal cortex, influences processing of motivationally salient stimuli) offer synergistic perspectives on how failure in self-regulation could, for a particular subset of individuals, lead to chronically maladaptive behavior and increase vulnerability to a range of significant health problems. The aims of this R01 application are: (1) to validate a hypothesized gene/environment/self-regulation risk phenotype conferring vulnerability to failures of self- regulation, and (2) to test a novel set of cognitive/behavioral techniques that we predict will acutely reverse the dysfunctions that underlie self-regulatory failure. The proposed research will be conducted in two samples: adolescents, who are vulnerable to initiation of a number of health-risking behaviors and psychological problems, and college students, some of whom already engage regularly in such behaviors and manifest psychological difficulties. We predict that a combination of three contributory factors - individual differences in regulatory focus, COMT genotype, and chronic failure to attain a particular kind of personal goal - creates a self- regulation pathway to disordered behaviors with significant public health implications. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The aims of this R01 application are: (1) to conduct a program of translational research validating a hypothesized gene/environment/self-regulation risk phenotype conferring vulnerability to failures of self-regulation, and (2) to test a novel set of cognitive/behavioral techniques that we predict will acutely reverse the dysfunctions that underlie self-regulatory failure. We predict that we will observe, in both adolescent and college student samples, that a combination of three contributory factors - individual differences in regulatory focus, COMT genotype, and chronic failure to attain a particular kind of personal goal - creates a self- regulation pathway to a broad array of disordered behaviors and psychological states with significant public health implications, including tobacco use, alcoholism, mood disorders, obesity, eating disorders, and impulsivity. Based on this model, we anticipate that the theory- based brief change techniques will prove efficacious and will ultimately provide a basis for effective broader-scale therapeutic and preventive interventions in future studies.
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary aim of the current application is to test a novel model of how the relative responsiveness of reward- and threat-related neural circuits interact with life stress to predict drug use in a large cohort of adolescents and young adults. The application also aims to identify genetic profiles representing variability in key neuromodulatory pathways that predict these interactions. To address these specific aims the application will collect measures of: 1) core behavioral processes that serve as risk factors for drug use and abuse, 2) brain circuits supporting threat and reward responsiveness as well as behavioral control, 3) the experience of stressful life events and 4) DNA sequence variation in 600 18-22 year old undergraduates. All measures will be collected using the existing extensive research infrastructure of the Duke Neurogenetics Study. Innovative analytic strategies for modeling individual differences will be applied to these data in the service of identifying behavioral, neurobiological, environmental and genetic mechanisms mediating variability in risk behaviors. The predictive utility of our findings for informing developmental trajectories of drug use, abuse, and dependence will be tested through federated studies. These studies are collecting overlapping measures in both community samples as well as longitudinal samples of patients and individuals at high risk (e.g., low SES, positive family history). Data federation wil also provide replication data sets and/or additional power for testing novel associations between neural, genetic, and environmental variation and the emergence of psychopathology. Furthermore, existing collaborations with investigators using animal models of human behavior and disease as well as those conducting epidemiological gene-environment interaction research will facilitate unique translational projects based on our findings. These collaborations will allo for identification of both detailed molecular mechanisms and broader clinical relevance. Collectively, the research proposed will reveal mechanisms and pathways that predict psychopathology with a focus on drug use and the transition to abuse, which represents a major thrust of current research supported by NIDA and is consistent with the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) emphasis on classifying psychopathology based on dimensions of observable behavior and neurobiological measures.
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is submitted in response to RFA-TW-13-002. The broad goal of this application is to collect pilot data for an R01 application aimed at identifying functionally relevant DNA methylation (DNAm) signatures in saliva that mediate the relation between the social environment and individual differences in behaviorally and clinically relevant neural phenotypes. This application will build on the unique resource of the Duke Neurogenetics Study (DNS). The DNS seeks to advance our understanding of biological mechanisms and pathways predicting variability in behaviors associated with risk for psychopathology. This broad aim is achieved through the systematic measurement and integration of genes, brain, environment, and behavior in 18-22 year old young adults. Behavioral, clinical, experiential, neuroimaging, and DNA data are already available for 207 DNS participants, and these data are ready for the analyses detailed in this application. Moreover, the DNS is funded by NIDA to continue data collection through February 28. 2017, which will provide approximately 200 additional samples for methylation assays under this application. Through hypothesis-driven analysis of continuous measures of brain function through neuroimaging and common variation in the genome, this research both recognizes the growing importance of dimensional phenotypes as described in the NIMH RDoC, and provides a foundation from which to examine how specific social environmental risks influence neurogenetic trajectories of relative risk and resilience that will inform ongoing efforts to advance treatment and prevention of mental illness. Evidence suggests DNAm is reversible, and therefore, this work will provide insights into why and how changing social environments are associated with rapid changes in behavior and clinically-relevant outcomes and, conversely, how we might influence the impact of adverse social environments on human health. The proposed methylation assays on the existing and planned DNA samples will allow us to address the following aims: 1) Using salivary DNA, to identify DNAm signatures in coding regions of candidate genes associated with functional neural phenotypes (e.g. threat related amygdala reactivity) related to psychopathology; 2) To examine whether social stressors are associated with DNAm signatures identified in Aim 1, and whether DNAm signatures explain the relation between social environment and functional neural phenotypes. Our work will contribute directly to the mission of RFA-TW-13-002, by revealing potential pathways for how modifiable social exposure(s) that act through epigenetic processes produce changes in brain function known to be behaviorally and clinically relevant. The identification of reliable DNAm signatures in saliva that are correlated with brain function would be, in itself, a huge advance for the field. This pilt study will lay the groundwork for longitudinal work to test the directionality of observed associations and for in vitro work aimed at determining how DNAm signatures observed here are translated into observable differences in neural phenotypes.
? DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Declining fertility rates, aging of the baby-boomers, and increasing life expectancy are leading to population aging. As the population ages, this increases the public-health impact of age-related conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and dementia. Treating un-prevented diseases in late life has proven costly and ineffective. Consequently, effective strategies are needed in midlife to prevent age-related diseases and to improve the quality of longer lives. It is now known that potentially preventable risk exposures and physiological causes of age-related disease emerge in childhood. This recognition lends new scientific significance to studies that have followed cohorts from childhood. It is also now known that the pathogenesis of age-related diseases involves gradually accumulating damage to organ systems, beginning in the first half of the life course. Of these organ systems, the central nervous system is integral, prompting our proposal to add neuroimaging to the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health & Development Study, a longitudinal study of both problematic and positive processes of adult development and aging, in a birth cohort now entering its fifth decade. This study combines methods of demographic/economic surveys, clinical-quality health assessments, biobanking, and linkage to nationwide administrative records (health, welfare, finances). We propose to administer a multimodal MRI protocol to the 1004 living members of the birth cohort. Our proposed neuroimaging protocol will measure individual variation in brain function, structure, and connectivity. We focus on the hubs of four neural circuits and the core behavioral capacities each supports: (1) the amygdala and emotion/threat, (2) the ventral striatum and motivation/reward, (3) the hippocampus and memory, and (4) the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and executive control. With the resulting midlife neural measures, we propose three primary aims that will generate findings about problematic and successful aging: Aim 1 tests whether prospectively ascertained early- life adversity is linked to midlife neural measures. Aim 2 tests whether neural measures are linked to real-world behaviors (e.g., saving behavior) necessary to prepare for successful aging. Aim 3 tests if neural measures are related to the accelerated pace of biological aging. The proposed work will improve knowledge by generating findings about the neural correlates of age-related diseases and successful healthy aging. These findings are expected to support preventing disease and enhancing preparedness for wellbeing in late life. Beyond the proposed 5-year project, follow-up neuroimaging is envisaged. This project thus brings neuroimaging into three timely and vigorous areas of aging science: the study of early-life programming of lifelong health, the study of midlife preparation for successful aging, and mind-body research linking brain function to physical health.


It's Black History Month again.
And this means that it is an occasion to attend to matters that have become impossible to discuss in polite society.
For example, odds are that relatively few people are aware of the name of George S. Schuyler.
Born in upstate New York in 1895, Schuyler was a black American writer, once associated with "the Harlem Renaissance," who was perhaps one of the twentieth century's most perceptive and wittiest observers. The famed iconoclast H.L. Mencken, of whom Schuyler was a protégé of sorts, seconds this estimation. Mencken described Schuyler as perhaps the ablest writer, black or white, of his generation.
Schuyler's career was as extensive as it was illustrious. For over four decades, Schuyler wrote for and edited The Pittsburgh Courier, one of the largest black newspaper publications in the country. Yet during this time and well into the '70s, the decade in which Schuyler would meet his death, publications from across the ideological and racial spectrums eagerly sought to conscript Schuyler's talents.
While in the earlier decades of his career he leaned left politically, Schuyler, particularly as the Civil Rights era began to take off, began gravitating rightward. He even became a member of the John Birch Society at one point. His political conversion aside, two things about Schuyler remained constant: His passion for racial equality and his equally intense passion for anti-Communism.
Schuyler recognized that the communist left aimed to weaponize American blacks in its assault against America and, by implication, the "capitalist" and "democratic" West.He spared no occasion to fight this effort.
Indeed, Schuyler decisively made the case that courtesy of "the system of individual initiative and decentralized authority," as well as the good will of many a white philanthropist—including white Southern philanthropists—American "Negroes" have experienced "unprecedented economic, social, and educational progress" in the United States.
It may shock contemporary audiences to discover that Schuyler recognized in the Civil Rights movement communist control. It will doubtless shock more to learn that he had little regard for the Civil Rights leaders of the day, including Martin Luther King, Jr.
When King received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, Schuyler wrote that "though accustomed to seeing" this award bestowed upon "a succession of pious frauds for the purposes of political propaganda," he shared the "shock" of the Norwegian media in learning that King would be its next recipient.
Even the Montgomery bus strike, which Schuyler reluctantly acknowledges may be King's singular "meritorious service," was ultimately "won by the much-derided NAACP legalism which ended Jim Crow bus service everywhere by federal court order." That is, it was not won by boycotts.
There is much more that can be said about George S. Schuyler.
And it will be said in a future essay.

                [place_id] => 1
            )

    )

)

There should be additional array with Place info in Placad, am I right? The first query is working, why the second one is broken? I hope the description provided is sufficient.
Thanks guys!

This isn't the first time a Grand Theft Auto title was brought down to a handheld scale. We've actually already seen GTA on the Game Boy as well as on the Playstation Portable. But the reason GTA Chinatown Wars takes so much notice, isn't just because it was made smaller, but also because despite the hardware used, Chinatown Wars captures the GTA feel almost perfectly. Here are a few reasons why Chinatown Wars is, although new, very much similar to the console versions of GTA.
The perspective is no longer a behind view of our main character, but instead a 360 degrees overhead view. This might be the most significant change in the entire game, but you are still able move around and do pretty much whatever you want like the previous installments.
Stealing cars is a trademark in the GTA series. In Chinatown Wars, you can still steal cars, but there is a new system applied here. Different cars may need different ways to steal them. Example, a certain car may need just a screwdriver while another one would require hotwiring.
Chinatown Wars has a drug-dealing sub-plot. This is a new feature that allows players to make cash by dealing drugs around the city. You check the demands of certain places and distribute accordingly. This gives Chinatown Wars an underground and dangerous feel.
Online play is a huge feature of Chinatown Wars. You are able to go to the Social Club website to share stats and get additional content. Going online also allows you to compete with others, trade items, chatting, and others.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is a monster of a game in a small handheld system. Even at its small state, it offers just as much as any GTA you've ever played before. Chinatown Wars is a true masterpiece for the Nintendo DS.


Daud, Abdulhalim (2016) AN INVESTIGATION OF TEACHER FEEDBACK ON STUDENTS' WRITING AND THEIR OPINION. Masters thesis, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia.
The role of teacher feedback strategies may have important effect on students' progress in developing competence in a target language. This study aims at investigating the type of teacher feedback strategies, the reason of the use of those feedback strategies, students' opinion on those used feedback strategies and their effect on students' writing. This study is a qualitative case study involving a teacher and one class at one vocational high school in Bandung. The students were categorized into the high, middle and low achievers based on their writing. The data in this study were obtained from three sources, including observation, document (students' writing draft) and interview. Data were collected to be analyzed to find out what feedback strategies that the teacher used (Ferris & Hedgcock, 2005), teacher's reason in using those feedback strategies, students' opinion about their teacher feedback strategies and the effect of teacher's feedbacks on students' writing. The findings of this study show that the teacher uses several feedback strategies: indirect feedback, direct feedback, and commentary feedback in giving feedback on students' writing. The teacher feels that she has responsibility to give feedback on students' writing to guide students in writing while the students perceived that they got benefit from their teacher's feedback. Further, the decrease of students' writing errors from first to final draft confirm the students' and the teacher's belief about the importance of teacher feedback to help students to improve students' writing quality and accuracy. These results demonstrate that teachers' feedbacks in teaching writing play an important role to help students to develop competence in a target language and their awareness of how to organize their ideas in written form. Based on the results of this study, writing teachers were suggested to implement process approach in teaching writing in the school and give feedback on students' writing.

And, God, to hear the blackbird sing once more!
Whose hopes grew wings, like ants, to fly away.
This poor bird-hearted singer of a day.
And there I wander as I will.
High heart, high speech, high deeds, 'mid honouring eyes.
And joy, oh joy, this mother 's mine.
And yet beside one stricken house there is a glimpse of grass.

In the following May he went to France, and after sharing in 'the long and terrible experience of trench warfare' there, was sent with his regiment to Mesopotamia, and whilst gallantly leading his men against the Turkish position at Sheikh Saad on the 7th January 1916, was shot down, and died of his wound next day.
Let her lie in peace.
before the war darkened over us or, as with Colwyn Philipps, like the soldier poets of old, they preferred to forget it awhile in their verses and remember, instead, the happier things they had known before it and hoped to know again after. Colwyn Philipps was the eldest son of Lord St. Davids. He had resolved to make the Army his profession while he was still at Eton; the war found him a captain in the Horse Guards; and you have only to read the poems and letters in his book to see how completely he realised Chaucer's ideal of the soldier and was 'a very perfect gentle knight.' To stoop to any creed of military 'frightfulness' would have been utterly impossible for the brotherly, high-minded man who carelessly unlocked his heart in the verses which were published after he had been killed in action near Ypres, on 13th May 1915. You may know from his poems that he, too, loved children and dogs and horses; was a keen sportsman, fond of the open-air life; was scornful of social and religious humbug and hypocrisy; was quick to sympathise with the underdog and indignant with those who oppressed the poor. Withal, he had a delightful sense of humour, and it plays freely through the letters from the front in which he makes light of discomforts and danger and is charmed by the kindness of his French hosts and the affection that springs up betwixt him and their children; and a letter from a Horse Guards trooper tells you with what ardour and heroism he went at last to his death at the head of his men.

But two years saw the end of these dreams, when the war brought his Oxford career to a close. He won the Newdigate Prize of 1914 with his poem, 'The Burial of Sophocles'; and in the August of that year, just after war was declared, he obtained a commission in the Royal Scots Fusiliers. By the following February he was out in France, and was killed on the evening of St. George's Day, 1916, after holding his trench all day against the enemy's onslaughts.

He wrote a play of Hereward the Wake, The Last of the English, that has real poetic and dramatic qualities; and a little before the war he was telling me, in his eager, sanguine fashion, of another play he meant to write, a romance of modern life that should get away from the squalor of the realists and preach a more idealistic philosophy—but all that ended when he fell gallantly in April 1917 heading his men in an attack on the German lines.
Were all they saw and all they cared to see.
He had made history and political science his special studies, and won the Queen's Prize for History at his school and an Open History Scholarship at Oxford. Swinburne, Wordsworth, Keats, and Francis Thompson were his favourite poets, and a copy of A. E. Housman's 'A Shropshire Lad' was found on his dead body.

This was written when he was leaving the Army after the Boer War, and 'the others' were five of the officers who had been through the South African campaign with him. Three of the five died, as he died, in the Great War. At the end of his book is a fist of fourteen of his friends, followers of the Hertfordshire Hunt, who also followed him to death in France.
For the troubled ears of the world ye tap out the signal—Peace.
Until he joined the Artists' Rifles in 1915, when he was thirty-seven and might have been excused if he had not volunteered, Edward Thomas had written all his poetry in prose. There is a delicate play of fancy and imagination and a lapidary cunning in the verbal artistry of his essays and criticisms which make it less surprising that he should at last have found a medium of expression in verse than that he did not find it earlier. But none even of his intimates can have foreseen that, with his gentle manners, his diffident self-distrust and bookish preoccupations, he had in him the makings of a soldier. Chivalry, the finest sense of honour, steadiness of purpose and a quiet courage we always knew that he had; what took us by surprise was the completeness with which he threw aside his civilian habit of pleasant bohemianism, subdued himself to military discipline and grew cheerfully hardened to the rougher life of camp and training ground. Certainly, he was no lover of war; he answered the call to arms solely because he had a conscience and felt it was his duty to do so; then, with his usual thoroughness, he was not satisfied to make a pretence of being what he had set out to become. He devoted himself as keenly and as scrupulously to his military work as he had done to the literary work that was more properly his. He was impatient of the prolonged training and was not contented till he secured a commission in the Royal Garrison Artillery and was sent to France.
It was this compelling impulse, since he was a soldier, to be the real thing and share in the worst that befell his comrades, that took him to his death during the British advance in April 1917. 'For,' says his friend John Freeman, 'in France he was detached from his battery for staff duties, and was dissatisfied until he had succeeded in returning to his old post of danger. Just the same scrupulous spirit had moved him years before when he gave up a permanent appointment sans duties, because there was no way in which he could earn or was expected to earn his pay. There were things he could not endure; no one who knew him could be surprised.' He volunteered for the dangerous work of serving on an observation post, and was killed by a shell.

and apart from a stray line or so glooming in some picture of country life, like a cloud that drifts momentarily across the sun, there is little of the influence of war in them—less than there is in the songs of Francis Ledwidge. Both were lovers of nature and poured their love of her into verse of an exquisite simplicity, but Thomas was the more reticent, the more scholarly; he had not Ledwidge's artlessness, and though he had the same emotional tenderness was not so simply unreserved in revealing it. The war stirred both of them profoundly and absorbed their energies, but whenever they had leisure to withdraw into themselves, for them, as for others of their temper, old sources of inspiration reopened, old habits of thought closed round them again, and in such hours of respite they returned to the familiar inner life from which they had been exiled, and the war dwindled to nothing but a weeping of rain on the window, a wind that wailed in the darkness and rattled at the door which shut it out.

I'm a big fan of multiple-clipboard utilities, which store multiple recent clipboard contents, letting you paste any of them at any time. With one of these utilities on your Mac, if you need to cut and paste multiple sections of text, you can cut each one in turn, and then paste them wherever and in whatever order you want. And you never need to worry about copying or cutting text and accidentally overwriting existing Clipboard contents you still wanted to use.
But these utilities have varying levels of complexity and power, a wide range of prices, and different learning curves—for someone who's never used a multiple-clipboard utility, the idea of choosing and using one can be a bit intimidating. Or, at the very least, it can be difficult to grasp how useful they can be until seeing one in action.
Today's Gem, CmdVees (Mac App Store link), is a multiple-clipboard app, but its developer has taken a unique approach by making the software dirt-cheap and focusing on a specific use: copying several bits of text sequentially and then pasting those items, one after another, elsewhere.
When CmdVees is running, any bit of text you copy or cut, using the standard Edit-menu commands or keyboard shortcuts, appears in CmdVees' systemwide menu, newest at the top. You can paste any snippet by choosing it from the menu or by using CmdVees' own keyboard shortcut for Paste. CmdVees calls this menu of recent clipboard contents the stack.
What makes CmdVees different than most multiple-clipboard utilities is that when you paste a saved clipboard snippet, it's removed from the stack (and, thus, the menu). This means that if, for example, you copy five bits of text, you can paste all five sequentially by simply pressing the Paste shortcut five times—the first item in CmdVees' history is pasted and removed from the stack, then the second, then the third, and so on. With many utilities, repeatedly pasting would simply paste multiple copies of the most-recently copied snippet—to get the most-recent five, you'd need to view your clipboard history and choose each one separately.
CmdVees is a huge time saver when you're copying a bunch of text from one document or Web page for pasting elsewhere. Instead of copy, switch apps/docs, paste, switch, copy, switch, paste, and so on, you simply copy, copy, copy, switch, paste, paste, paste. CmdVees is also convenient, to give another common example, when you receive a username and password in an email and you want to use those to log in to a Website or server—you just copy, copy, switch apps, paste, paste.
One of my favorite little touches is that CmdVees displays recently copied items at the top level of its menu, but sticks older snippets in an Older submenu—you can choose the time, in seconds, after which a snippet is considered "old." Since you're more likely to paste items you recently copied, this feature makes the menu more manageable while keeping older items around, just in case.
You can configure your own keyboard shortcuts for Paste, Join, Swap, and Clear, as well as a separate shortcut for a standard Mac OS X paste (which doesn't remove anything from the stack—useful for those times you actually want to paste the same thing multiple times). This means, for example, you can continue to use the standard OS X keyboard shortcut for Paste but use CmdVees's features when you need them.
My biggest complaint about CmdVees is that I wish it had an option to add items to the bottom of the stack instead of adding everything to the top. The current behavior means that if I copy five things in the order I want to paste them, I need to paste, then move the cursor to the beginning of the newly-pasted text, then paste again, then move the cursor to the beginning of that text, then paste, and so on. Similarly, the Join feature would concatenate these snippets in reverse order. (The workaround is to copy or cut items in reverse order, which results in them being in the correct order when pasted or joined.) If I could optionally add items to the bottom of the stack, I could clear the stack, make my copies or cuts, and then paste, paste, paste, paste.
CmdVees doesn't have nearly as many features as the more-advanced multiple-clipboard utilities out there, such as PTHPasteboard Pro. And because it doesn't keep a permanent history—it clears items as you paste them—it doesn't give you as much "clipboard security." But it's only a buck, and for its more-focused goal of letting you store and sequentially paste multiple recent snippets of text, it's in some ways more appealing. When you're not using that feature, CmdVees stays out of the way and lets you use the Clipboard normally.

Spain was ranked by the World Healthcare Organization on the 7th place when it comes to the best healthcare in the world, mainly due to the country's modern clinics and hospitals, equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment. Some of the procedures which make Spain a sought medical tourism destination are in cosmetic dentistry, plastic surgery and elective surgery.

For example, the price for a face-lift in Spain varies between £4,000 - £4,500, which is about 40% less compared with prices in England. Every year millions of tourists choose Spain for medical treatment.

Now that LED lighting has been embraced around the world as a smarter, lower-cost and more environmentally responsible alternative to incandescent lighting, businesses and public sector entities are finding new and creative ways to maximize its benefits.
What type of projects will impact luminaire design and LED assembly in 2016 and beyond? Here are a few of the more interesting applications that are already changing our perception of darkness and light.
Cities like Los Angeles and Copenhagen are now being illuminated by LED lighting in smart light poles connected to a sophisticated LTE mobile network. The same LTE used for communication of high-speed data in mobile phones and data terminals is bringing improved broadband connectivity to communities, as well as future-ready infrastructure, via street lamps that, for more than a century, were equipped with just two settings: on and off.
You may not think about the type of lighting that allows you to shop in stores after dark, but retailers have found that high quality LED lighting accomplishes more than helping customers to read a price tag. Some types of LED luminaire design can create a more pleasant and comfortable interior retail environment, which encourages shoppers to stay longer. It can also enhance a customer's perception of merchandise quality and value.
A golf course in Turkey has installed 120 light poles containing a total of 370 LED lights on nine of its 18 holes, allowing players to tee it up even after the sun goes down. This type of project is more difficult than it sounds, as light creates shadows that could hinder visibility, as well as glare that can make it difficult to track a golf ball in the air. But by using topographical maps, they pulled it off, and such successes could lead to more nighttime golf. That is great news for golf courses looking to increase revenues, as well as golfers who work 9-5 and can now fit in a quick round after quitting time.
Studies have found that a person's sleeping schedule can be hindered by a glowing smartphone screen, suggesting a connection between types of light and how people sleep (yes, even though most of us sleep with the lights off). There are now LED bulbs that automatically adjust interior light levels for morning, afternoon and evening, to coincide with your daily routine. Different light color temperatures help to regulate the body's production of the hormone melatonin, which affects alertness – something we need a lot of in the morning and less at night.
Ever been on a divided road where oncoming cars have their high beams on, obstructing your view? Auto manufacturers are aware of the issue, and some are moving toward installing an adaptive driving beam headlights control semiconductor into an LED headlight. This shuts off parts of the lighting beam area, illuminating the road for the driver while eliminating glare for oncoming vehicles.
What trends are you expecting for the LED industry in 2016? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments or on Twitter (@Loctite_NA).
With these new and innovative LEDs come new challenges. We partner with LED manufacturers to improve performance and increase reliability of LEDs. For more information, visit our website.

Crowders Mountain is one of two main peaks within Crowders Mountain State Park, the other peak being The Pinnacle.  The park is located in the western Piedmont of North Carolina between the cities of Kings Mountain and Gastonia or about  west of Charlotte.  Crowders Mountain abruptly rises nearly  above the surrounding terrain, and has an elevation of 1,625 feet (495 m) above sea level.

Although stated as true on some sites, the mountain was not named after Ulrich Crowder [Krauter], a German merchant and farmer. In 1789, Ulrich purchased land much farther north of the mountain before moving west. The mountain is named for Crowders Creek, which originates near the base of the mountain. The original namesake of Crowders Creek is unknown, but mostly likely lived farther south along Crowders Creek. Crowders Mountain and The Pinnacle, located to the southwest, once served as markers to separate the hunting grounds of the Catawba and Cherokee peoples.

In the early 1970s a mining company began doing exploratory sampling of areas along what is now the Backside Trail with the intent of purchasing the minerals rights to excavate the mountain for kyanite, barite, and iron. This led local concerned citizens, educational institutions, and local governments to join together and convince state government pursue the creation of a state park in order to protect the area.

In 1973 the State of North Carolina created Crowders Mountain State Park. It opened to the public in 1974. Crowders Mountain proper was added to the new park in 1978. The Pinnacle was added in 1987. In the year 2000, 2000+ acres were purchased. This purchase brought the entire ridge line of Kings Mountain into the park and  took park boundaries to the North Carolina/South Carolina state line. Both monadnocks present sheer rock cliffs which are  in height. The cliffs of Crowders Mountain are popular among rock climbers. Rock climbing is no longer permitted on The Pinnacle. Hiking trails lead to both summits, from which it is possible to view the skyscrapers of nearby Charlotte, North Carolina, on a clear day.

Communications center

One of the first FM radio stations in North Carolina, Gastonia's WGNC-FM, erected a transmission tower on Crowders Mountain in the late 1940s. Today three radio towers are located on the mountain. The transmitters are located within a  plot of land on the summit that remains privately owned. In addition to commercial radio, the towers relay signals for wireless phone companies, railroads and local emergency services.

On June 19, 2007, the Gastonia City Council denied a request to add  to a  communications tower on Crowders Mountain. Crown Castle International had requested the change to allow the signal of a Spanish-language radio station in Gaffney, South Carolina, to reach Charlotte.

The council cited concerns that the taller tower would damage views of the mountain and that construction equipment would harm the mountain's environment.

The tallest tower on the mountain is owned by CBS Communications and rises .

TWO BOWLERS SHARE SPOTLIGHT AT 2017 USBC OPEN CHAMPIONSHIPS
By Aaron Smith and Brian Hirsch
USBC Communications
LAS VEGAS – Wilbert Bellamy of New Britain, Connecticut, and Dave Hauber of Dickeyville, Wisconsin, shared the spotlight Tuesday at the 2017 United States Bowling Congress Open Championships as they became the latest members of the tournament's 50-Year Club.
Both Bellamy and Hauber received a plaque, chevron and diamond lapel pin to commemorate the milestone at the South Point Bowling Plaza.
Bellamy completed the first game of his team event Tuesday before stepping aside for a substitute, who rolled the final two games. The 87-year-old right-hander was very humbled by the reaction he received from the other bowlers on his squad.
"This was fantastic, and I've never had a feeling like this before," said Bellamy, who began his tournament career at the 1968 event in Cincinnati. "All of the people were cheering and clapping for me, and bowlers were coming over just to shake my hand. I felt like a celebrity. I was treated so well by everyone, and this has become my favorite memory out here."
Bellamy's lone game pushed his career pinfall total to 71,723, a lifetime average of 175.
Hauber was surrounded by friends and family as he celebrated his fifth decade on the championship lanes, and the entourage included his brother, John, who made his 45th USBC Open Championships appearance.
Hauber, a 70-year-old right-hander, made his tournament debut at the 1968 event in Cincinnati, and he got his start alongside Dick Rice of Platteville, Wisconsin, a member of the tournament's 60-Year and 100,000 Pin-Clubs.
"What started out as friends getting into a car and driving to the national tournament each year has turned into a family affair," Hauber said. "Dick is the one that got us started on this journey."
Hauber has enjoyed the chance to travel while competing in the world's largest participatory sporting event and seeing what each host city had to offer.
"It's hard to pick a favorite because each one has things that are unique," Hauber said. "Over the years, we have done everything from golf to baseball games to Churchill Downs."
In his 50th appearance, Hauber rolled sets of 520 in singles, 465 in team and 397 in doubles for a 1,382 all-events total. He has knocked down 76,486 pins during his Open Championships career for a lifetime average of 174.6.
Bellamy and Hauber are two of 23 bowlers scheduled to celebrate five decades of participation this year in Las Vegas.

I've been attending Vendex (and most often AVEX) in some shape or form for over 6 years, often as a visitor, and at times as an exhibitor. Whilst vending is typically a painfully slow-moving industry from a technological side (most probably due to how cost-sensitive vending businesses tend to be in order to survive), there have been some notable trends emerging over the years.
Aeguana exhibited at Vendex Manchester this year, bringing to life a 'Happiness Vending Machine'. The concept was simple – give us your biggest smile at our vending machine (filled with delicious Propercorn, courtesy of Propercorn of course!) and watch as the machine instantly drops a free product. We used state of the art emotion detection technology, that in this instance was triggered by happiness (obviously). To spice things up, a set of 10 ultra bright lights would indicate just how happy the person was, and dispense the product accordingly. A true emotion vending machine!
In addition to all the visitors we spoke to, we also made an effort to try and understand the other businesses exhibiting. Were they new to the scene, or have they been around for a while and launching a new product (or at times simply making their continued existence known)? It leads to some fascinating insight that can't easily be gained any other way.
We've been talking about telemetry in some shape or form for the past 6 years at Aeguana. From our early discussions with operators through to more recent deployments of truly integrated telemetry solutions for vending, it's safe to say we've seen it all. What's interesting is that whilst historically operators tended to shy away from telemetry (for a multitude of reasons, most of which culminated in cost), they now seem to be far more open and embracing of the technology – and in fact, seem to be proactively seeking to implement it.
However, what is interesting to observe is that the frustrations that operators face when integrating telemetry remain virtually unchanged in the past few years. Hardware costs are still relatively high and need to be absorbed as capital expenditure, often only enabling the larger outfits to adopt them. Perhaps even more worryingly, recurring costs are also still very high, with some telemetry providers requiring that the operators provision their own data plans, and others charging a premium for doing so themselves.
Cost aside, there is then still a sliver of frustration around the lack of seamless integration between machine, telemetry, online platform and payment technology. Nayax is clearly a leader in this space, offering a one-size-fits-all solution that simply works out of the box, providing plug-and-play telemetry and payments, and handling all the data and payment fees complexity. However, the transaction costs relative to other forms of payment (eg: online payment gateways and traditional merchant fees) still remain high, though very competitive within the vending space.
Whilst there is no doubt that vending has come along way, there are just so many opportunities to innovate and create a better and more valuable customer experience that are not being explored. Telemetry (as discussed above) is definitely one of them, but this goes a lot further. Whilst there are a few companies beginning to release mainstream machines with touch screen technology, this is usually limited to product selection. However, with a touch interface at their disposal, this presents a fantastic opportunity to enrich the customer experience, making it more of a 2 way conversation.
Why not add social media triggers alongside traditional payment technology? "Launching a new brand? Place it in our machine, and get customers tweeting about it – we'll drop it out for free". Or even better – local sampling opportunities where users fill in short surveys about their demographic etc. to receive a sample. With brands paying substantial sums for promotional staff to hand out free samples, it seems like a no brainer to use existing vending networks to achieve this.
Taking it even further – with advances in face recognition and emotion detection, why not enrich the retail experience using this technology? It's been done before in Japan and for one-off events, but even though the actual technology cost is minimal, it hasn't yet made it's way to mainstream vending.
Perhaps one of the reasons holding back technology adoption really is limited connectivity… solve that in a flexible, and scalable way, and it paves the way for infinite possibilities.
Thinking back to some of the earlier vending shows, they were filled with mainstream snacks that were – in the vast majority of cases – unhealthy. However, walking around Vendex this year, it's fascinating to see how so many small, entrepreneurial companies have taken it upon themselves to change this and create healthy options for everyday people to eat as snacks, throughout the day. Most of these are not positioned specifically for the vending market, and are instead exploring this as part of a wider retail strategy (which is likely to be the logical approach), but it is nevertheless fascinating to see so many healthy options in one room.
Some of these are strikingly simple concepts that you see and think 'how did no one think of this before? Of course that makes sense!'. Others however, are decidedly more complex snacks. One company that struck us (in every way) as truly delicious, is 'Nothing But' – see their website here http://nothingbutsnack.com/. They were conveniently located next to us, and distracted us with descriptions of dried yogurt melting in your mouth, amongst other incredible snacks.
Other companies were tackling the drinks market by providing healthy (and at times useful) options. One example being 'Overhang' – see their website here: http://overhangdrinks.com/. Using an age old Italian family recipe, they believe they have found the solution to hangovers once and for all, and it tastes pretty good too.
We love seeing cool, young companies tackle the snack market, and even better doing so through vending. It opens up a world of opportunity to change buying habits, and also enables us to come up with some great viral concepts to achieve widespread brand recognition.

Oman on a Mission
By MECN Adminstrator
Oman's construction industry is predicted to grow at nearly 6% year-on-year with 24 mega-projects planned for Muscat alone. Melanie Mingas finds out how the country is planning to rebuild its economy in less than a decade
Like other Gulf states, Oman's development strategy is set out in a series of five-year plans, pioneered by the government.
Since the first five-year plan was launched in 1976, the country has developed economically, socially and physically, with progress particularly linked to a number of petrochemical and industrial mega-projects; collaboratively securing the country's wealth and increasing GDP 35 times since 1970.
[facts]
The estimated value of Oman's construction industry in 2010
[/facts]
This year marks the first year of the eighth cycle, which will see investment ploughed into establishing a tourism industry that will become the Sultanate's primary economic driver by 2020. As a result, the Omani construction industry was valued at US $3.7 billion in 2010, with growth expected to reach an annual rate of 5.8% between 2010 and 2014. Sectors within the industry, particularly cement production continue to enjoy some of the largest gross margins of all the GCC countries, according to the Oxford Business Group.
There will also be many harbour and port-related development activities along this coastal area, creating gateway cities" -Arjan Weerstand, Salalah Port.
One of two staple elements of this escalation will be the emerging tourism sector, as detailed in the 2011-2016 development strategy. The second, infrastructure developments, will include the creation of six new airports, the dual expansions of Muscat and Salalah Airports, port and power developments and the construction of a coastal railway line.
"In the current cycle there are many infrastructure developments such as roads and, of course, the railway, which will follow 2000km of coastline," explains Sam Oliver, UK Trade and Investment Office (UKTI) at the British Embassy, Muscat.
"The government is then planning to select various locations along that line for development, where most of the inhabitable land is connected by the new rail infrastructure. There will also be many harbour and port-related development activities along this coastal area, creating gateway cities."
Running in tandem with this initiative is Vision 2020; a concept established at the end of the country's "first phase" of development, in 1995.
Outlining Oman's goals for phase two of its development, the plan aims to create economic and financial stability; reshaping the role of government and globalising the national economy.
The diversification programme will encourage the youngest generation of the Omani workforce to pioneer development in digital technologies, renewable resources, infrastructure and other areas identified as crucial to development.
Majestic Muscat
The predicted growth rate in Oman's construction industry between 2010 and 2014.
The most significant of the current development projects will focus on the capital. Titled 'Majestic Muscat', 24 mega projects will be undertaken across the city, with a remit to "enhance the quality of life" for residents and visitors alike.
Aiming to develop a "cohesive, inclusive, safe, healthy and vibrant city with opportunity for all", the projects will include development of the waterfront and corniche areas (see box-out), in collaboration with a number of prestigious international design firms, such as Denmark-based Gehl Architects, Australia's Project Architecture and Parson's International.
The deadline has been set to make tourism Oman's primary economic driver by 2020
"The various strands of this development will be in harmony with the economic, civic and commercial aspirations of the city; providing a new look and feel, while reflecting the country's values and heritage in a modern setting," explains Oliver.
Dry wadis will be "transformed into architectural features" including promenades, with old campsites renovated into new residential settlements; featuring a focus on commerce and leisure developments.
In a drastic contrast to similar remits in other Gulf states, the developments in Oman will work to preserve the country's famous rural landscapes.
"You will not find the jagged edges of chrome and steel, but a relatively unbroken skyline dotted with domes, minarets and occasional landmarks of trade and commerce all blending into an aesthetic whole.
"The project will be a stunning testament to the renaissance of, not just the metropolis, but the country as a whole," Oliver explains.
Developing infrastructure
This year marks the start of the eighth five-year development plan, which will see investment ploughed into the burgeoning tourism industry
Supporting these developments will be a number of infrastructure projects, including the expansion of Salalah Port; with the general cargo quay extended by 1200m.
Currently under evaluation from the Omani government's tender board, 41 parties showed interest in the tender, with 19 submitting bids for the $195.6 million contract. It was a response that senior manager of project development and implementation, Arjaan Weerstand, describes as "substantial proof of market recovery".
For the power plants, we are going to employ Omani nationals to work alongside Siemens team during implementation"
"The decision to expand specifically this terminal was triggered by the growth of the Salalah Freezone in 2007 and 2008, with the start of the construction of the Salalah Methanol plant and the increase of limestone and other commodities."
Undergoing an extensive design phase which addressed the needs of all terminal users, the project is Oman's first public-private partnership (PPP).
Additional projects will see the construction of six new airports across the country and the regeneration of two further airports in Muscat and Salalah.
The Muscat expansion, due for completion in 2014, will increase capacity to 12 million passengers annually; with additional phases increasing this figure to 48 million by 2050. Runway upgrades will also see the airport able to handle the world's largest plane.
Both airport contracts were awarded to Cowi and Larsen Architects and Consulting Engineering, with project management run by Airport de Paris Ingenierie.
Extensions at Salalah Airport will increase passenger capacity to one million within three years, up from 258,000 in the first half of 2010.
In addition, six new airports will be constructed in Adam, Haima, Shaleem, Al Duqm, Ras Al Had and Sohar.
Described by the Oxford Business Group as the "most ambitious" of all the projects, Al Duqm will also develop a port and dry dock, refinery and petrochemical complex, power and desalination infrastructure. There will be an industrial area and a free-trade zone complex, as well as tourism and residential projects.
Major contracts to build two 750MW power projects have been awarded to Siemens. Barka 3 and Sohar 2 will generate electricity with surplus power used to generate steam for a turbine. It is one of a number of key projects which has seen a rise in demand for Omani workers. "Siemens plans to invest in significant resources and manpower in Oman, upon the award of projects," says Siemens Oman, chief executive officer, Markus Strohmeier.
"For the power plants, we are going to employ Omani nationals to work alongside the Siemens team during the implementation. It is our plan for the Omani colleagues to take on a long-term role during the operation and maintenance phase of these plants," Strohmeier adds.
Having worked in the country for 35 years, Siemens' new contracts are supported by further collaborative developments in gas turbine technology, with several consortia.
Commenting on the significance of the Omani market for the company, Stronhmeier adds: "The development of the oil and gas industries, as well as the solid approach Oman has taken in optimising its infrastructure, makes it key to our own growth plans.
"Many of our technologies have been deployed in Oman in the early days and have given Siemens successful business references. Siemens wants to be a reliable partner in building up the infrastructure in Oman with our global experience and local know-how of customer requirements."
Destination Oman
In the country's quest to re-brand itself as a tourism hub, a number of resorts and hotels will be developed, along with a multi-billion dollar convention centre. However, unlike that of its GCC neighbours, Oman's ambition will see the country building to demand, rather than flooding a newly-created market, and therefore risking oversupply.
Spearheaded by Omran, the tourism development and investment arm of the Omani government, the first completed project was the site for the Second Asian Beach Games Muscat 2010; delivered on budget within 900 days. Other projects include the Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre, in addition to hotel and resort developments throughout the country.
Omran is responsible for master-planning and development of the projects and the management of a large portfolio of hotels.
"Over recent years, Oman has taken major strides forward in attracting tourists to our many leisure resorts and hotels," says Omran's HE Dr Rajiha bint Abdul Ameer bin Ali.
"Our strategy has always been to target the business sector too and this investment will provide us with an outstanding venue for conferences and exhibitions," he adds.
Omran plans to invest $1.8 billion in the 10,000 capacity Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre, located near Seeb.
The centre's exhibition halls will be ready by mid-2013, while the auditorium and the first of several planned hotels are expected to be completed by the end of 2013.
Summit of ambition
Supporting the construction industry across all sectors, the inaugural Omani Construction Summit was held in Muscat this January.
Deemed the "biggest gathering of industry professionals and leading players," the four-day event hosted 35 conference speakers, 14 exhibitors and 240 construction professionals.
"The summit represented the biggest gathering in the sultanate of industry professionals and leading industry players that have a prominent role in the implementation of many major projects throughout the sultanate," comments CJ Paul, general manager of organiser Global Exhibitions and Conferences (GEC).
The summit was jointly delivered by GEC and US-based International Quality and Productivity Centre (IQPC), organiser of the Saudi Urban Transport Conference, Tall Buildings Middle East and Tunnels and underground Construction Middle East, among other events.
Key focus areas during the summit included infrastructure, particularly the Omani National Rail Project; residential and tourism developments and the Salalah Port extension.
"At the Oman construction Summit, many talks focused on the industry picking up again. The fact is that the Middle East has not been impacted by the crisis, as for instance Europe was," said Weerstand, who spoke about the Salalah Port expansion at a summit conference.
"Although no one knows if the crisis is really over there was indeed an optimistic atmosphere at the event," he adds.
The pace of construction has seen demand for expatriate workers soar; in 2010 it was announced that thousands more would be needed to strengthen the existing 850,000-strong expatriate community and plug a national skills gap, particularly in civil engineering and labour.
Vision 2020 at a glance
"To promote economic and financial stability in Oman"
• Reshape the role of the Government in the national economy
• Broaden private-sector participation
• Diversify the economic base and sources of national income
• Globalise the Omani economy
• Upgrade the skills of the Omani workforce to promote higher employment
• Develop human resources in the industry
Currently, expatriate workers make up nearly 30% of Oman's 2.9 million population; an 8% increase on 2009 figures.
According to the UKTI office, other issues in the industry include short-term obstacles to new company start-ups, due to local regulations and a lack of communication between the relevant departments.
But the body maintains that such obstacles are merely communication problems rather than legislative barriers to trade and expansion within the country.
"There can be a general lack of cohesion between government departments; for instance all the relevant agencies must be approached individually, so things can take time depending on what you are doing," says Oliver.
Yet despite the superficial barriers, investment in development is strong with major projects on course to meet due completion dates.
"The government is heading the major infrastructure projects with support from the private sector, while private-sector projects focus on malls and resorts," Oliver adds.
"Around the country you can see that there are signs of activity."
