On the 1st of June, 2012, Japan published its own version of IEC 60601-1:2005, under the title JIS T 0601-1:2012. The standard is listed under the category of "MOD" which means it is equivalent but with declared modifications. The modifications are summarized in Appendix JC which at this time appear to be only available formally in Japanese (an Engish version of the standard is not yet published).
The standard has been given a transition period in the Japanese regulation until May 31, 2017. As with Europe, it is expected that that the actual transition period will be driven by particular standards, and most importantly, the updating of the numerous "essential requirement checklists" which are prepared to assist third parties to certify Class II devices according to the PAL regulation (similar to the system used in US under the FDA). These checklists make explicit references to standards, editions and clauses, so these will have to be updated to make way for the series based on the third edtion. It is also noted that third party certificates allowing sale have a validity of 5 years. The overall result is that it could be many years before the third edition is fully applied in Japan. On the other hand, those manufacturers that have to deal directly with the PMDA (generally, the higher risk or novel, new devices) will likely have to follow the May 31, 2017 date.
The following table provides a list of deviations according to Appendix JC, as translated by MEDTEQ. Although the list has around 15 items, it turns out that the only significant technical change is the allowance to use JIS approved power cords.
During the translation process, it was noted that Appendix JC does not list all the changes in referenced standards from IEC/ISO to JIS versions. For example, under Table 22, IEC 60601-1 references IEC 60085 for insulation systems, in the JIS version this is replaced by JIS C 4003 (which itself is based on but not identical to IEC 60085). One interpretation is that compliance with JIS T 0601-1:2012 can only be claimed if all the referenced JIS standards are checked for deviations. That would be extremely cumbersome, and unlikely to have any real technical impact. Most likely, the ruling will be that overseas manufacturers will be allowed to use IEC 60601-1:2005 + Appendix JC, so only the items in Appendix JC, as shown below, need to be checked as formal deviations.
"… up to 2V" is corrected to "more than 2V".
Listed as being no technical change. This may be intended to point out that the mains switch on the equipment should be "ON" before the test.
Power cord is in accordance with JIS C 3306 or JIS C 3301 is also acceptable for this clause. If the temperature of an external metal part which the cord can touch exceeds 60C, double insulated cords are not allowed.
In amendment 1 to IEC 60601-1, "unmarked" has been clarified to mean "no national certification".
According to Annex JC, the additional point is simply an example of mixing Class A, B and C materials together.
It is noted that the actual text replaces IEC 60085 with JIS C 4003. This standard is listed as equivalent to IEC 60085 with modifications, and assumed to be equivalent for practical purposes.
Equipment complying with JIS standards is also permitted within a system.
If an isolation transformer is used, equipment with basic insulation only is also permitted within the system.


I started with my mom's recipe for Ham and Potato Soup, and we've changed it so much over the years that it has transformed into a completely different recipe from my mom's recipe, becoming more of a chowder than a thin soup. And we really like it now. I sometimes top each serving with garlic croutons when I have them, but I usually serve it with Italian rolls or light sandwiches. It goes together quickly, and it's a really delicious chowder that's perfect for those chilly evenings when hot soup is so appetizing and comforting.
Cook bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towel; set aside.
Melt butter in a stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, 2-3 minutes or until onions are clear. Stir in corn and thyme, and cook 1-2 minutes.
Add flour and whisk until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk and cook, whisking constantly, about 1-2 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Stir in potatoes. Bring to a low boil, and then reduce heat to low and let simmer 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Stir in ham, salt, pepper, cheese, and more milk (if needed to reach desired consistency), and cook 2-3 minutes more or until ham and any added milk are thoroughly heated.
Serve hot, and garnish servings with crisp bacon pieces and garlic croutons (if using).

Qualcomm's Quick Charge 5 standard promises 50 percent charge in less than five minutes
Along with 100W charging speeds on phones and full charges in under 15 minutes
By Chaim Gartenberg / @cgartenberg
Jul 27, 2020, 8:05 PM UTC |
Qualcomm has introduced Quick Charge 5, the company's latest fast-charging standard, and it's bringing some big promises: more than 100W charging speeds on a smartphone, with the ability to charge a device from 0 to 50 percent in five minutes or fully charge a phone in 15 minutes.
It's been a few years since Qualcomm introduced its last major quick-charging standard, Quick Charge 4 (which also had an enhanced version, Quick Charge 4+), but the new version represents the biggest leap yet for the company — at least where sheer charging speed is concerned. Qualcomm isn't being shy about how big of an improvement this is: the company says that Quick Charge 5 is up to 70 percent more efficient than Quick Charge 4, up to 4 times faster at charging, while still running 10 degrees Celsius cooler than the old version.
As noted by Anandtech, Quick Charge 5 is actually leveraging the existing USB Power Delivery Programmable Power Supply (PD-PPS) standard (a subset of the existing USB-C PD spec), which allows for even greater control over voltage and current levels during the charging process. The advantage to that is that Quick Charge 5 is, in theory, universal — any USB PD-PPS charger should be able to charge your Quick Charge 5 device at full speed.
Another key change here is the fact that Quick Charge 5 now supports 2S battery systems for two battery cells wired in series, which allows for double the charging voltage. In turn, that increases charging speeds.
It's also backwards compatible: older Quick Charge accessories and devices will still work with new Quick Charge 5-rated hardware, albeit at the fastest speed that those chargers can provide. (USB-C PD devices and iPhones, on the other hand, will still only get fast-charging benefits from the USB PD-based Quick Charge 4 and up.)
That leads to the biggest advantage of all: the fact that Quick Charge 5 is part of Qualcomm's overall parts package. Qualcomm is already one of the biggest processor and modem suppliers, and tons of companies use its power solutions for the easy compatibility with those existing products — meaning that Quick Charge 5 will likely start popping up on tons of phones when the first devices start shipping in Q3 2020.

The file may be corrupt or missing.. Make sure all files required for installation are available and restart installation."
Got this messge repeatedly while trying to do a clean install on my ThinkPad T-61. Reading this forum suggested a RAM problem, so I removed 1-2GB RAM chip from the machine, leaving 1-2GB chip installed. Win7 loaded flawlessly after that. Thank you folks so much!
I tried to install from SATA DVD drive, but got the missing driver message.
Reconnected IDE drive and waited for it to install.
Then got this "Cannot install required files" error.
I tried the 2 reboots and it did NOT work.
I removed 1 of the 4G memory chips, leaving 4G and that apparently did the trick!
Monitor(s) Displays 2 Dell 19"
This is a standard installation issue for which you remove all but 2gb RAM to try install.
If that's insufficient: Swap RAM, test RAM - Test with Memtest86+ testing sticks and slots, check slots for debris.
When I had the 0x80070570, I managed to get through the expanding windows files by changing the harddrive mode from AHCI to IDE. I don't know why this works, but you should try it. Needless to say, I was greatly relieved. Only now I'm stuck at the reboot problem. Lovely.
Your easy solution worked perfectly for us and of course, was easy! Thank you for saving us hours trying to get Windows 7 on our computer. :) It's up and running great!
Thaks a lot. I took one 2 gig Ram chip. It is loading now fine. Saved me lot of time.
when installing the 32-bit version on win7 home premium i get no errors. when trying to install the 64 bit verion, i get these percent errors.
anyway, with the easy install i was able to not so easy install windows 7.
Well solved for me at least. Someone suggested removing all RAM, except for one (I have 4) and try downloading Windows 7 again and it worked! Don't know why? It always got hung up at 17%, then I removed all 4 RAM, reinstalled 1 RAM in one slot (dual processor made to be a single) and it took instantly. I figure that the CPU (Pentium 4) has to deal with 4-RAM segments while downloading (via CD-ROM) a lot of data and just crashes. Anyways, thank you sevenforums.com you saved me from trashing my computer, because I was at wits end. I tried everything up to this point. Upgraded from XP on a clean HD (no OS on it).

/**
 * A clock that does not advance on its own and that must be updated manually.
 *

 * This class is designed for testing clock-sensitive components by simulating
 * the passage of time. This class differs from {@link
 * Clock#fixed(Instant, ZoneId)} and {@link Clock#offset(Clock, Duration)} in
 * that it permits arbitrary, unrestricted updates to its instant. This allows
 * for testing patterns that are not well-supported by the {@code fixed} and
 * {@code offset} clocks such as the following pattern:
 *

 *
Create the clock-sensitive component to be tested
 *
Verify some behavior of the component in the initial state
 *
Advance the clock without recreating the component
 *
Verify that the component behaves as expected given the (artificial)
 *     delta in clock time since the initial state
 *

 *

 * This class is mutable. The time-zone of the clock is fixed, but the instant
 * may be updated at will.
 *

 * The instant may be set to any value even if that new value is less than the
 * previous value. Caution should be exercised when moving the clock backwards,
 * since clock-sensitive components are likely to assume that time is
 * monotonically increasing.
 *

 * Update semantics are expressed in terms of {@link ZonedDateTime}. The steps
 * of each update are as follows:
 *

 *
The clock captures its own state in a {@code ZonedDateTime} via {@link
 *     ZonedDateTime#now(Clock)} (or the equivalent thereof)
 *
The update operation is applied to that {@code ZonedDateTime}, producing
 *     a new {@code ZonedDateTime}
 *
The resulting {@code ZonedDateTime} is converted to an instant via {@link
 *     ZonedDateTime#toInstant()} (or the equivalent thereof)
 *
The clock's instant is set to that new instant
 *

 *

 * Therefore, whenever there is a question about what argument types, units,
 * fields, or values an update operation supports, or what the result will be,
 * refer to the corresponding method of {@code ZonedDateTime}. Links are
 * provided from the documentation of each update operation of this class to the
 * corresponding method of {@code ZonedDateTime}.
 *
 *
Implementation Requirements:

 * This class is thread-safe. Updates are atomic and synchronized.
 *

 * While update semantics are expressed in terms of {@code ZonedDateTime}, that
 * imposes no requirements on implementation details. The implementation may
 * avoid using {@code ZonedDateTime} completely or only sometimes, for
 * convenience, efficiency, or any other reason.

The language of mathematics describes the ways in which our eyes perceive pattern, but that language can be complex and hard to remember. Indian mathematicians used recitation to pass on information so accurately that there is only one extant text of the oldest piece, and there are no variants!
It is somewhat difficult to describe how the information was passed on, but, basically , texts were learned and recited in various ways. By comparing the different recitations, variations were excised and true forms of the information could be passed on. If you are interested in reading more you can have a look at the comprehensive Wikipedia entry and go to the section entitled Oral tradition. There is plenty of other information available online and a search on Google will find many links. The rhythm and music of recitation aided the memorisation of the formulas and theories, and by reciting in different ways a truly watertight and secure method of passing on information was created.
Although the art of mathematics seems to be absolute, cultural understanding played its part in the interpretation too. It was wonderful to read the paragraphs about domestic fire-altars and their construction. The brevity of the final instruction ("After dividing the quadri-lateral in seven, one divides the transverse [cord] in three.In another layer one places the [bricks] North-pointing.") belies the complexity behind the words and the understanding that scholars would have had about those words. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_mathematics#Oral_Tradition.) If you would like to read what I am talking about have a look at the section entitled The Sutra genre in the Wikipedia entry. Don't you just love the idea that a whole range of instructions and ideas can be conveyed in two sentences?
The links between music, weaving and mathematics are indeed deeply intriguing, fascinating and wonderful, aren't they?


Tag Finishing, Tag Stringing, Elastic Stringing, Tag Wiring, Tag Patching, and more.
We can take your pre-printed forms, tags, tickets, booklets, etc. and finish them for you on our tag finishing equipment.
Let us finish your forms & tags for you. You print your job to your specifications and on your material, then send them to us. We'll add a reinforcement, attach string or wire, clip or round the corners, number, perforate, band in sets, or whatever you need.
Since we finish most forms by machine, it is important to follow these guidelines so your tag finishing job arrives back to you as expected. When cutting your forms to their finished size, be as accurate and consistent as possible. Forms that vary in height & width are difficult to run thru our machines and yield inconsistent tag finishing results. For best results you should strive to keep each piece to within 1/32" or less.
Keep all forms in the same direction and orientation when either banding, shrink wrapping, or boxing. If not, we may not notice tags that are 'upside down' in a stack and you may end up with a punched hole or string on the wrong end of the form. You should also pack your forms so they do not mix or shuffle around during shipping. This will help greatly when we unpack them and get ready to run them thru our machines. Try to keep the weight of the cartons to 30 lbs. or less and tightly fill any voids in the box. We have seen many damaged forms due to poor packing and excessive weight...corners split apart, tops split open, and forms missing or damaged. The more care you take in packing, the better chance we will receive your forms in good shape.
If you had to add 'slip sheets' during your printing or cutting process, you need to remove them before sending in your forms. Our machines cannot automatically remove them and this will add extra charges, not to mention lead time, to your job.
Should I Pre-Drill My Forms?
If we will be reinforcing or stringing your forms, you do not need to pre-drill the hole. In fact, we prefer that you don't! Our tag stringing and tag reinforcing machines will automatically punch the hole before adding the reinforcement or string.
Please include complete instructions on what needs to be done with your forms. Just write or type out your instructions or include a purchase order with this info so we'll know what to do. Also please let us know the quantity of forms sent to us (including over-runs or set-up) and how many you want us to finish. We can finish the entire quantity sent, or stop at a predetermined quantity...it's entirely up to you...so make sure you let us know!
Quantities from 1,000 to 1,000,000 and up!


Hmm… Okay. As anyone who knows me will concur, I've never pulled an engine, and I wouldn't recognize a crank hub if it hit me in the forehead.
But if I ever do in the future, by then I'll have learned all I know from watching YouTube star and local mechanic Pete Spyche, known to throngs of viewers around the world as the proprietor of Pete's Garage. With almost 57,000 subscribers, and more than eight million views from motorheads (and motorhead wannabes) in over two-hundred countries, odds are that if you've ever torn down/built up an automobile engine in your garage or driveway you've turned to Pete's Garage for a virtual hand.
And he did, acting as mechanic, cameraman (with a little help in the beginning), director, editor, and scriptwriter. Posting the videos of the body and frame work on YouTube, he got some action, but it was nothing earth-shattering. "When I got to the engine build though (the finished product seen below), the views shot way up," he said, "and I realized that people out there (yes, mostly guys, but not all) want to know how to build engines." Probably didn't hurt that this engine was one of Ford's legendary 427 V8s. That 11-part series is titled Engine Building, and can be seen here.
All in all, the 45,124,419 minutes of view time (thus far) for the collection of his how-to videos add up to 85 years and 290 days-worth of watching. And yes, there's money in them thar' videos, but it's certainly not making him rich.
"I'm here to teach, but also to learn," he said as he pointed out that some of his comments are from viewers giving him pointers. And it's not only the YouTube comments. "I put my cell phone number at the end of every video, and have had calls from every continent," Pete told me. One of the more interesting calls came from a collector of American muscle cars in Kuwait who was having trouble finding anyone local to maintain his collection. An all-expenses-paid Pete's Garage house call? Not yet. But, as he told me, it's tempting.
It's not all engine work. I recently sat down at the computer and watched him do a simple paint repair on the bumper of his friend's Chevy Equinox, and later tuned in to see the replacement of the front bumper cover/headlight assembly on his own Chevy Malibu which had just been whacked.
And as in any decent garage worth its salt, there's a photogenic dog hanging around. Pete's Pug, Shelby (at right), snuggled in the easy chair during our conversation, filling the room with the sound of contented dog-snoring. Another star is born!
Besides the Cobra kit car (still not finished), Pete's current project is an engine rebuild for a friend's 1962 Studebaker Hawk (below). The block is out at the machine shop, and the other parts are arrayed on Pete's work table (also below), waiting to be cleaned, reassembled, and — I'd imagine — videoed for your viewing pleasure.

On Saturday mornings I ease my right foot from the gas pedal of life and gently begin to apply the brakes. I try to slow down. This morning, I am thinking about the beauty and power of slowness and how it applies to growing Lucia.
"I'm sitting in this beautiful new clothing shop on Beacon Hill. The owner is an amazing woman. She is taking on my collection for her store. I showed her your journal and she would love to sell it here. Her name is Mia Fioravanti."
The next day, I found myself sitting in a vintage armchair in the spacious, light-filled, on-street studio storefront of Fioravanti. They make slow clothing and just opened a few weeks ago.
Across from me was Mia, the founder and designer, whose silver-blue eyes told me the story of a lifetime of experience, creativity, and vision, without words. Her daughter, Wysdom, sat across from us, the youthful face of a twenty-something design apprentice enmeshed with the presence of an old soul. A stack of Lucia was in my lap and we were discussing the excitement of starting something new and the power of starting something slow.
Mia's father owned a 100-year-old multi-generational woolen mill before it closed in 1968. She grew up watching her mother get dressed in clothing made from fabric her father had produced. Mia and Wysdom's sewing machines, worktables, and reams of fabric take up the back right quarter of their combination studio boutique. Seeing their gorgeous (and affordable!) clothing hanging in the front of the store and, with a soft sweep of my eye, gazing at the seat and machine where it was all made...filled me with inspiration.
Fioravanti feels like an absolute right place for Lucia to be found. I am proud and honored to have them join our growing little family of stockists.
In a warm display near the back of the store are Shelli's exquisite pieces. Her jewelry evokes a sense of what is essential and unseen. Slight flaws in the hand-forged copper, silver and brass conjure vitality the way freckles bring an Irish face to life.
"I want to focus on that eighty-year-old woman. I want to look back on my life and feel happy with the way I've lived instead of thinking, 'I wish I had.'"
I like this slow feeling. The right people seem to be discovering Lucia this way. She is finding her tribe, her home, her circle, her place in the world as she grows. We all are, aren't we?
Go slow, breathe deep, connect sincerely, and they will find you, too.
p.s. Go visit Mia and Wysdom in person or online at miafioravanti.com.


A circus performance using natural fibre converted into as circus elements and structures.
A trick of fate leaves an international circus company stranded on the equator of the world. It is here that they come into contact with the montubios, a group of friendly inhabitants / locals who live in the bamboo groves that surround them.
Thus, an old new utopian rural circus is born, the Guadual circus, with its artists performing and moving as if they were animals in the rainforest.


A characteristic sign that spring is arriving, this low-growing plant displays a white flower from March to May in deciduous woodlands across the UK.
Leaves: the shape of the leaf displays three visible lobes and the stalks are long. Leaves are basal.
Flowers: petals are white, with a pinkish tinge. Many distinct yellow anthers are visible.
Wood Sorrel (Oxalis acetosella): at a distance it may appear like wood anemone but this plant has distinctive pink veins in its white petals and the leaves are different in shape displaying a rounded, heart shaped appearance compared to the deeply lobed leaves of the wood anemone.
Where: mature deciduous woodlands across the UK, as well as by hedgerows and meadows.
When: a perennial which flowers from March to May.
Hoverflies: are thought to favour this plant and to be significant in pollinating this species.
Ancient woodland indicator: the presence of this species can indicate ancient woodlands as it is a slow growing species, which spreads via rhizomes.
Medicine: wood anemone is known to be poisonous so is not used in traditional medicines.
Poetry: wood anemone has featured in various poems, such as those written by the English poet John Clare.

Trump: The Best President I Didn't Vote For
I didn't vote for Donald Trump. I was afraid his obviously improvised campaign, imprecise explanations concerning how he planned to achieve his policy goals, and unsettling antics presaged a disastrous one-term presidency if he somehow managed to win. Unlike Bill Kristol and his ilk, however, I never considered voting for the execrable Hillary Clinton. So, knowing that Trump would win my deep red state anyway, I voted for what's-his-name from New Mexico. Predictably, I was surprised when Trump won. But that was nothing compared to the astonishment I experienced when it dawned on me that he's a remarkably effective President.
After only two years in office, in the face of unprecedented and relentless resistance from the Democrats, the media, and the metastasizing Mueller investigation, President Trump has accomplished more than many presidents accomplish in two terms. He has not, of course, achieved all of his goals. The most obvious disappointments involved Obamacare and the border wall. Yet, even in these areas, his administration has made measureable progress and there is good reason to believe that he will eventually overcome Democratic obstructionism and achieve his ultimate objectives. Meanwhile, Trump's long list of unalloyed successes keeps growing.
Trump's most conspicuous successes have involved the economy. Under his predecessor GDP growth was characterized by the kind of malaise that prevailed during the Carter era, and we were told that a growth rate of about 2% and an unemployment rate of about 4.5% was the new normal. Trump rejected that prognosis and took steps to energize the economy. Now, despite the somewhat inexplicable meddling with interest rates by the Fed, GDP growth is at 3.4% and the unemployment rate is 3.7%. As Investor's Business Daily points out, much of this is directly attributable to the Trump tax cuts so often maligned by the Democrats and the media:
Contrary to Democrats' claims, workers are clearly sharing in the tax-cut windfall. Not just through tax-cut bonuses and lower withholdings, but through increased opportunities and wage growth.… Average hourly wages are rising at 3.1%, the fastest rate since 1999. Unemployment rates are at lows not seen since 1969, and for minority groups, they're lower than any time on record. Median household income is at all-time highs.
This means job opportunities for the blue collar "deplorables" who voted for Trump. Of the more than 4 million jobs created during his tenure in the White House, at least 10% have been in the manufacturing sector that the Democrats long ago left for dead.And among the most delicious ironies of the Trump economy is its positive effect on the job prospects of minority voters ostensibly represented by the Democrats. Black and Hispanic unemployment rates are at all-time lows. Female unemployment and youth unemployment are at their lowest points in half a century. Meanwhile, household incomes are rising. Yet Nancy Pelosi insists that all this is bad news:
From day one, the White House and Republicans in Congress have sold out working and middle class families to further enrich the wealthy and big corporations shipping jobs overseas.… At the same time, the President's reckless policies are exploding gas prices, wiping out the few meager gains that some families should have received from the GOP tax scam, as wages remain stagnant.… Democrats will never stop fighting for the hard-working middle class families.
Every syllable of this is nonsense, of course. Pelosi's claim that Americans are experiencing "exploding gas prices," for example, is Orwellian fiction. Either the presumptive Speaker of the House doesn't read the news or she is just another Democrat fabulist. In reality gas prices are dropping all across the country. U.S. News & World Report advised its readers last week that the average cost of gas has hit its lowest level in six years: "The national average price of gas dropped below $2 Monday morning for the first time since 2009, according to AAA. The average price at the pump was $1.998 per gallon." If that's hurting us, beat us harder please.
But Pelosi and the Democrats have no choice but to lie about the positive changes that have occurred on Trump's watch. This is particularly true of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that he signed into law last year. They can't admit that most of its $5.5 trillion in gross cuts eased the tax burden on families. They must mislead the voters about its dramatic increase in the standard deduction for individuals and families. They can't admit that it doubled the child tax credit. They can't tell the truth about the 85% of American workers who saw their paychecks increase as a result of the cuts, or the entrepreneurs who can now deduct 20% of their business income.
Likewise, the Democrats can't tell the truth about the President's efforts to free Americans from the Obamacare gulag by expanding short-term, limited-duration health plans and enabling more small businesses to join Association Health Plans. The Democrats can't talk honestly about the repeal of the law's "death panel," the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), whose sole purpose was the rationing of essential health care to the elderly. They must lie about the effective repeal of Obamacare's individual insurance mandate when the President and Congress eliminated the law's "tax-penalty" for failing to purchase exorbitantly priced health plans.
Nor can the Democrats tell the truth about Trump's progress in reforming the federal judiciary by appointing judges willing to follow the Constitution. They can't talk about his nomination and the Senate's confirmation of two Supreme Court Justices — Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. Nor can they discuss the President's nomination and the Senate's confirmation of 83 additional federal judges who will sit on United States Courts of Appeals and United States District Courts. And they certainly can't breathe a word about the very real possibility that he may well have to appoint a third justice to the Supreme Court during the next two years.
The Democrats must also remain mum about the benefits of Trump energy initiatives like the approval of the Keystone XL Pipeline, opening up the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge to energy exploration, withdrawing from the economically unsustainable Paris climate agreement, reforming National Ambient Air Quality Standards, rescinding his predecessor's deliberately cumbersome hydraulic fracturing rule, expansion of offshore drilling, ad infinitum. They can't admit that Trump has largely defanged the disastrous Dodd-Frank "reform" legislation that has been strangling credit unions, community banks, and regional financial institutions.
And then there's foreign policy and defense. The President moved the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. He withdrew from the outrageous Obama Iran deal and re-imposed nuclear-related sanctions. He initiated an historic summit with North Korean President Kim Jong-Un in an effort to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula. Trump changed the rules of engagement with regard to the fight against ISIS resulting in the liberation of virtually all Iraqi territory from the tender mercies of that terrorist group, and announced the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Syria. Finally, Trump dramatically increased military funding to more than $700 billion for FY 2018.
The list of Trump's accomplishments is far longer than the above, but the point should be obvious. So let's wrap it up with Criminal Justice Reform, something to which several administrations have devoted earnest lip service. As Wayne Allyn Root put it a few days ago, "If Obama passed criminal justice reform, he'd be hailed as a hero by the media, black leaders, the black community and the ACLU.… Trump did. I hear crickets." Instead, the Democrats, the media, and Robert Mueller want to take him down. Why? Precisely because he has been so successful. I think he'll beat them in the end, and I know he'll get my vote in 2020.

Paris – 16e arrondissement – Arc de Triomphe
Today's journey takes me to the arrondissement of Paris in the northwest corner of inner Paris and one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the country. The 16th arrondissement is gargantuan in comparison to the other smaller arrondissements of the inner city. It runs from the north side of the Pont de l'Alma north to the Arc de Triomphe, northwest to the Place de la Porte Maillot, encompasses the entirety of the vast Bois de Boulogne, delimited at the southern tip by the Porte de Saint-Cloud, and is bordered on the east side by the banks of the Seine river.
Paris – 16e arrondissement
Paris – 16e arrondissement – Palais de Chaillot
With its ornate 19th-century buildings, large avenues, prestigious schools, museums, and various parks, the 16th arrondissement has long been known as one of French high society's favourite places of residence to such an extent that the phrase le Seizieme has been associated with great wealth in French popular culture. The 16th arrondissement of Paris is France's third richest district for average household income, following the 7th, and Neuilly-sur-Seine, both adjacent.
The 16th arrondissement hosts several large sporting venues, including: the Parc des Princes, which is the stadium where Paris Saint-Germain football club plays its home matches; Roland Garros Stadium, where the French Open tennis championships are held; and Stade Jean-Bouin, home to the Stade Français rugby union club. The Bois de Boulogne, the second-largest public park in Paris (behind only the Bois de Vincennes), is also located in this arrondissement. The 16th also includes the quiet and leafy Passy neighborhood, with its many secretive passageways and charming streets, as well as the Passy cemetery, one of the most beautiful of its kind in Paris.
The 16th arrondissement contains many attractions, including Trocadéro, with its two curved wings stretching out from the central plaza as well as the Palais de Chaillot, named after the hill the complex is located atop, housing several museums. The Musée de la Marine is the national naval museum, documenting the history of French seafaring, and featuring many models and historic paintings, as well as the coronation barge used by Napoleon III. The Cité de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine museum is a repository for architectural details rescued from buildings lost due to urban development.
The Palais de Tokyo is a grand limestone building constructed for the International Exhibition of Arts and Technology of 1937, now home to a couple of modern art spaces. One side of the palais is an experimental art space called Le Pavillon, which does not host permanent exhibits, only artist work space and special shows curated by various art people. The Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris is the modern art museum of the city of Paris. The museum's holdings include Modigliani's 'The Woman With Blue Eyes', Robert Delaunay's 'La Ville de Paris', and other works by giants of modern art, includinng Picasso, Braque, Calder, Keith Haring, and Pierre Bonnard.
Museums in the 16th focusing on fashion and design include the Fondation Le Corbusier, the Fondation Louis Vuitton, housed in a gorgeous building designed by architect Frank Gehry, the Palais Galliera, with a permanent collection on fashion history, and the musée Baccarat, containing a fine collection from the eponymous crystal maker.
Paris – 7e arrondissement – Tour Eiffel
The Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile is one of the most famous monuments in Paris. It stands at the western end of the Champs-Élysées on the former Place de l'Étoile, named after the junction formed by its twelve radiating avenues. The Arc de Triomphe honours those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, with the names of all French victories and generals inscribed on its inner and outer surfaces. Beneath its vault lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I.
Inspired by the Arch of Titus in Rome, the Arc de Triomphe measures 50 metres in height, 45 m in width and 22 m in depth. The Arc de Triomphe was the tallest triumphal arch until the completion of the Monumento a la Revolución in Mexico City in 1938, which is 67 metres high. La Grande Arche in La Defense near Paris is intended to mimic its more historical counterpart towards the centre, but is much larger, measuring 110 metres in height, currently the world's tallest arch.

A 'Narcissistic Blowhard' Considers The History Of Character Development
KUOW | By John O'Brien
Listen • 1:09:32
Flickr Photo/Vasudev Bhandarkar
David Brooks at the 2011 TED Conference in Long Beach, California.
Author and journalist David Brooks says that he gets paid to be a "narcissistic blowhard" and that he has to work harder than most people "to avoid a life of smug superficiality."
As far as blowhards go, he seems fairly humble. He told NPR "the turning point in a life toward maturity is looking inside yourself and saying, 'What's the weakness that I have that leads to behavior that I'm not proud of?"
Brooks' most recent book is "The Road To Character." In it he challenges himself and his readers to balance "resume virtues" — wealth, fame and status — against "eulogy virtues" — kindness, honesty and faithfulness. He argues that our "Big Me" culture should rethink priorities in order to build richer inner lives.
To aid in this pursuit he looks to the lives of historical figures who struggled to build their character. In this talk he reflects on examples from President Dwight Eisenhower, writers Samuel Johnson and George Elliot, and the first woman to serve as a U.S. Cabinet member, Frances Perkins.
Brooks is a columnist for the New York Times and commentator for PBS, NPR and NBC. He teaches at the Jackson Institute For Global Affairs at Yale University. He spoke at Town Hall Seattle on April 29. His talk was presented by The Elliott Bay Book Company. Thanks to Kevin Mitchem for our recording.

"You see us as you want to see us - in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a LearnLeader... A researcher. A teacher. A principal. And a developer."
What happens when a group of edtech champions and change-makers focused on informed decisions and practical applications of edtech data get together each month? People who are driving education changes in modern, evolving classrooms (not ones still centered on pencils and papers) get even smarter, faster. When educators share their challenges, solutions and experiences in a timely manner, problems are solved. This line of thinking led to the formation of a group called LearnLeaders.
Composed of educators and administrators seeking and sharing innovative solutions in their schools and districts, LearnLeaders includes those who are most actively looking to change the status-quo, those who are changing education and taking a step back from the mindset of 'doing what's done simply because it's what's done.' These leaders are making results matter, moving the needle for students and working smarter to make better instructional and budget decisions for improved outcomes.
LearnLeaders emerged in the LearnCommunity out of incredible, but all too infrequent, discussions of applying usage, pricing, demographic and achievement data to evolve standard practices into relevant, current solutions and initiatives. Every time groups of users participated in panels, conference sessions, focus groups and webinars together, there was a battle cry for more frequent exchanges - timed for immediate application and continuous improvement.
Edtech is moving too fast to wait for an annual conference to recharge and share - and with scheduled, bite-size chunks of sharing, focused on a particular challenge, opportunity or piece of the process, we can impact the students we have NOW, with real-time data and practical applications. We received a number of requests to facilitate ongoing web conference sessions to help users capture, share and learn from their collective knowledge.
Dr. Amanda Cadran, Lea(R)n success manager and former edtech director facilitates monthly hour-long conference calls featuring one of our LearnLeaders on a rotating basis. The monthly format was designed to provide consumable chunks for constant improvement and continued learning, rather than attending semi-annual or annual events where we are often inundated with exciting mountains of information for days at a time, but without a reasonable vehicle for taking that renewed passion back and translating it immediately into practice.
LearnLeaders calls provide a community of practice for the structured interactive discussion of challenges and successes in managing and measuring edtech to enable members to continuously improve with a focus on teaching and learning. LearnLeaders share practical applications for better managing all edtech processes - discovery; procurement; contract management; negotiating pricing and compliance requirements; streamlining product vendors; soliciting educator feedback; approving, declining and selecting products; defining and measuring success; etc. LearnLeaders discuss processes, offer visibility to pricing, look at data together in the platform and help other innovators understand how to work through change management and apply practical organization to instructional technology and its varying complexities (system and human).
Is there an aspect of your edtech that you have been struggling with? There's a good chance that someone else has encountered similar challenges. Join us to share your experiences and solutions with other members of the community doing the same. If you've been thinking about giving LearnPlatform a try, there's no better time. If you are currently using LearnPlatform, join LearnLeaders and share your unique experience while gaining insights from others in the network.

Ian Bishop is well known among soccer players and fans throughout the world as a member of three of the finest and most thrilling teams ever, Manchester City, West Ham and Everton, with over seven hundred appearances. He played in the U.S.A. for the MLS in 2001.
Great acclaim for player…
He's just a complete footballer," Fusion coach Ray Hudson said after the practice. "A blind man can see his quality, guile and talent and what a fulcrum for a team he can be — great control, lovely touch, great vision, great execution."
Great acclaim for team…
"He made a massive contribution to our back-to-back promotions," said Manchester City Manager Joe Royle in an interview on the team's official web site. "His control, touch and awareness of the ball are immaculate and he is surely one of the best uncapped players in this country in the last ten years."
Famous Day…
Bishop played a key role in the famous 5-1 derby demolition of Manchester United side on September 23, 1989. His classic headed goal and glorious cross-field pass to set White racing down the right flank for the fifth goal – nodded home by Blues' left-back Andy Hinchcliffe – sent Maine Road into raptures and elevated Bishop to cult status. He beamed: "That was a great day for everybody involved and is now part of City folklore."
Ian Bishop was a creative midfield player with great passing ability who went on to become one of the most popular players ever to don the sky blue shirt in his two spells at Manchester City, being instrumental in helping the club to recover from the lowest point in it's entire history. Born in Liverpool on May 29th 1965 he joined Everton straight from school in 1981, but following a short spell on loan at Crewe three years later he was released by boss Howard Kendall and joined Carlisle United, where he would spend the next four years. He was transferred to Bournemouth in July 1988 and one year later manager Mel Machin paid a reported fee of £725, 000 to bring him to newly-promoted City, having appeared in all four divisions of the football league.
Bishop decided however to try his luck on the other side of the Atlantic and in March 2001 he left Maine Road to sign for MLS side Miami Fusion, having made a total of 117 league and cup appearances in his two spells with the Blues.
In 2004 he went back to the USA to play for the New Orleans Shell Shockers before finally hanging up his boots at nearly 40 years of age and turning his hand to coaching at soccer schools in Florida.

After meeting your guide drive through the fertile lands. Your first stop will be the Temple of Artemis, one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world. Afterwards proceed to the mountain where Virgin Mary is believed to spent her 9 years. The house is approximately 1000 feet above sea level and running as an active chapel. Roman Catholics believe that Virgin Mary came to Ephesus with Saint. John 5 years after the crucification. At the age of 63 she is assumed to heaven. Altough there is no fact that Virgin Mary lived here approximately 1.5 million people visit the site each year. After 30 minutes visit to the House of Mary, drive to ancient city of Ephesus.

You will see the beautiful Celsus Library, restored and reconstructed according to its original form by the architect Friedmund Hueber in the 1970's. The most spectacular building of Ephesus is the Grand Theater, built during the Hellenistic age to hold 25,000 spectators. It is there that St. Paul preached. Opposite theTemple of Hadrian are the Terrace Houses, homes of Ephesus' wealthy citizens. The city was also the hometown of great philosopher Heraclitus. After a visit to Ephesus Antique Site, you will arrive at SIRINCE VILLAGE. This old Orthodox Village, 30 km from Kusadasi, was once "Cirkince"(ugly). Indeed its inhabitants gave this name on the purpose as they did not want to be bothered by foreigners nor to share the beauty of their village. Still after years, visitors understood that the village was not ugly and called it "Sirince" (pretty). Today the village is a perfect synthesis of Turkish-Greek culture as of the 1920's; after the Turkish Independence War, people exchange between Greek and Turks has occurred and all those typical Greek houses, though they kept their original outside characteristics, have received the local layout inside. At Sirince Village you will have chance of seeing the local life at a village and purchasing some small local souvenirs and handicrafts. The village is also famous for its local grape and other fruit wines. Your last stop will be the visit to the ISA BEY MOSQUE, a delicate masterpiece of Turkish architecture from the fourteenth century.

There are mainly two kinds: the river lamprey (Lampreta fluviatilis), and the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus). In Dutch there is a third animal that is called lamprei, it is used to designate a young rabbit. Recipe: Blancmange with crayfish.
To make lard: Take a pound of fresh or salted pork fat. Chop it in chunks, put in a skillet without adding anything, heat at low temperature, stir occasionally. After 30 to 45 minutes you'll have cracklings and lard. Craxcklings are a treat for those people who like them (I do!). Dogs and cats also love cracklings, but give it sparingly if at all, because of the fat, and the salt (if you used cured fat). During the heating of the pork fat you can add herbs or spices like bay leaf, mace, clove, pepper. Strain the lard, put in a jar and keep in the refrigerator (keeps for months).
Pastry dough prepared with lard in stead of butter tastes great. An added bonus is that your hands will become incredibly smooth when kneading the dough, very good for dry skin (and your dog/cat will surely love to be petted by you afterwards!).

Cymbopogon citratus is indigenous to tropical regions in Asia. It is a decorative grass plant in your garden if you live in the right climate, but it won't survive any frost. The stalks can be bought fresh, frozen or powdered (but then it has lost most of its flavour). Lemon grass is added before cooking, and removed before eating. Dutch (Indonesian) name: sereh.
We buy our sugar mostly granulated or powdered, but in the past sugar was sold as cone-shaped loafsugar. Before using it, the sugar had to be grated on special graters. Before 1600 all sugar was cane sugar. I don't know whether it is the same everywhere else, but in the Netherlands cane sugar is always light brown, either from added molasses, or from not being 100% refined. Refined cane sugar is as white as refined beet sugar. Unrefined brown sugar may contain small traces of minerals and such, but nothing you don't get by consuming your ordinary daily food. However, there is a slight difference in flavour, brown sugar has more taste.
The loafsugars on medieval miniatures are white, not brown. The cane sugar was as refined as possible. If you want to prepare medieval recipes the authentic way, you'll have to use white, refined cane sugar. If you can't get that, you'll have to choose: either use unrefined cane sugar which has a slightly different flavour and can end up colouring the prepared dish in an unintended way, or use refined beet sugar which has the same flavour and colour as refined cane sugar, but is actually an anachronism. Recipes: Stuffed eggs, Hypocras.
Levisticum officinale. An umbelliferous plant (like wild celery and parsley) that was popular in the classic Roman kitchen, and still used in the Middle Ages. You can grow it in your garden. When flowering, it can grow as tall as 2 meters. The taste is rather overbearing, use it in small amounts. It is very nice in stock. Recipes: Roman mussels, Beef Stock, Roman broccoli.


The IRCE conference and exhibition in early June 2016 featured hundreds of solution providers in every possible category of interest to e-commerce merchants (as well as offline sellers). Walking the trade show floor at events such as these can be overwhelming, of course, so Website Magazine has spotlighted a few of the many solutions that caught our attention as well as the attention of attendees. Many of these companies will be familiar with regular readers of Website Magazine, and our editorial staff has covered a majority of them over the past several years. In that scenario, we've included links to learn more about their offerings.


Abstract: Clinical applications of electroencephalography (EEG) are used with different objectives, EEG being a noninvasive and painless procedure. In respect of eating disorders, in the 1950s a new line of study about the neurological bases of anorexia nervosa was started and has since been developed. The purpose of this review is to update the existing literature data on the main findings in respect of EEG in eating disorders by means of a search conducted in PubMed. Despite the fact that weight gain tends to normalize some brain dysfunctions assessed by means of EEG, the specific effect of gaining weight remains controversial. Different studies have reported that cortical dysfunctions can be found in patients with anorexia nervosa even after weight gain, whereas others have reported a normalization of EEG in respect of the initial reduced alpha/increased beta power in those patients with refeeding. Findings of studies that have analyzed the possible relationship between eating disorders and depression, based on sleep EEG disturbances, do not support the idea of eating disorders as a variant of depression or affective disorders. Some EEG findings are very consistent with previous neuroimaging results on patients with anorexia nervosa, reporting neural disturbances in response to stimuli that are relevant to the pathology (eg, stimuli like food exposure, different emotional situations, or body images).
