A medical alert system in The Villages can provide many elderly and disabled individuals with the ability to live on their own, and exercise a high degree of independence. Here's what you need to know before signing up with a medical alert system provider.
Millions of persons suffer from a number of harmful medical conditions, which can include cardiovascular problems, diabetes, asthma, neurological disorders, allergies, fainting, epilepsy, memory loss or blindness, to name a few. People are not safe in their homes in The Villages, for the fear of an attack occurring when they are home alone. Also, they may fear to venture out of their homes freely. The situation becomes all the more serious when a person lives alone. Also, financial constraints may compel him to work, even if he suffers from some serious debilitating ailment.
The Villages is made up of several Community Development Districts (CDD), which are controlled by a board of supervisors (BoS), five individuals elected by the landowners of the district.H. Gary Morse, the son of the original owner and who was responsible for turning The Villages into one of the most well-known and fastest-growing retirement communities, transferred most direct ownership in the company to his three children in 2006; Morse died in 2014. The overall development lies in central Florida, approximately 20 miles (32 km) south of Ocala and approximately 45 miles (72 km) northwest of Orlando.
Between 2010 and 2017, the population of The Villages area grew almost 33 percent, from 94,279 in 2010 to 125,165 in 2017. According to U.S. Census data released in March 2018, The Villages was the 10th in the annual list of fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the United States.
Rachel A. (Lucas) Martin of The Villages, Florida, formerly of Feasterville and Philadelphia, PA passed away at the age of 78 on Thursday, April 18, 2019.

Monday NBA playoff previews: Nets try to even series, Blazers try to just stay alive
By Kurt HelinMay 12, 2014, 8:00 AM EDT
Two games on Monday night in the NBA — and we have our first closeout game.
Miami Heat at Brooklyn Nets (Heat lead series 2-1). Can the Brooklyn Nets replicate what they did to beat Miami in Game 3? The Nets hit 15-of-25 from three and hit 11-of-18 on threes above the break — that will be tough to do again. What the Nets can do again is get great play off its bench and count on Joe Johnson and Paul Pierce to make plays. The Nets can be aggressive in transition again. For Miami, someone other than LeBron James needs to show up and play like the game matters, that was not the case on Saturday night.
—Kurt Helin
San Antonio Spurs at Portland Trail Blazers
(Spurs lead series 3-0). The Trail Blazers look done. NBA teams have won all 108 best-of-seven series when leading 3-0, according to WhoWins. In fact, most of those series ended in sweeps. If Portland wins Game 4 at home to extend the series, that would be a nice accomplishment — one more win in front of a loyal home crowd — before bowing out in Game 5 in San Antonio. To get that bonus victory, the Trail Blazers must better defend Tony Parker, who's averaging 26.0 points and 8.3 assists per game in the series.

Why We Don't Have Apple TV and CarPlay… Yet
RUSH: This is Mike in Canton, North Carolina. You're next. It's great to have you.
CALLER: (static throughout) Thanks, Rush. I appreciate you taking my call.
RUSH: You bet, sir. Any time. Any time at all.
CALLER: Well, I have two things for you today. One is a tech question about the app, and the other is a comment about the New Deal.
RUSH: The Green New Deal?
CALLER: The Green New Deal. Which one would you like?
RUSH: Well, go with the tech question first.
CALLER: Okay. Well, my wife and I live in one of those austere places way off the beaten path. The best internet we can get is DSL, and one of the best ways to watch or get your show on the 24/7 would be the Apple TV, for us. But there is no app for the Apple TV.
RUSH: Yeah, I know, and, you know (chuckles) I saw your question up there, and I debated two things: A, whether to take your call or have Snerdley thank you, and then whether or not to be truthful with you about this. (laughing)
CALLER: (laughing) Okay.
RUSH: I have wanted an Apple TV version of the RushLimbaugh.com app for I can't tell you how many months. I am not a developer, meaning I don't write code. We have to farm that out.
CALLER: Yes, sir.
RUSH: And I'm being told something I don't believe. I'm being told that it would cost $500,000 to write an app for the Apple TV, and I simply don't believe it. If that were the case, there wouldn't be as many as there are. The CARROT Weather service would not have an Apple TV app if it cost $500,000 to do.
CALLER: (laughing)
RUSH: Not only that, I want the RushLimbaugh.com on CarPlay so that you can listen to it on your phone via the internet driving around through your car's audio system, and I'm told that costs $250,000. I know what some of you are thinking. "Rush, how can you be a prisoner to this? You are Rush Limbaugh. Just order it done!" Well, folks, it's a little bit more complicated than that, but I'm really hell-bent on getting a Rush Limbaugh app on the Apple TV. What do you watch most on Apple TV?
CALLER: Actually… Well, we use our Apple TV with Plex, which serves movies up to us from our own server.
RUSH: All right. Have you purchased a streaming service like DirecTV Now or YouTube TV or any of that?
CALLER: No. I have… Uh, it's complicated.
RUSH: Do you have cable?
CALLER: We do not. We can't get cable. We are 950 feet from the nearest cable whatever you want to call it — part of the plant — and they say they can't run cable to our house without running a trunk down to somewhere near the house.
RUSH: That's probably true. That's how it was in all small towns when cable was getting going, until they actually got it built out. Well, so, how do you watch TV? Do you watch Fox News, for example?
CALLER: We do, but once again, it's complicated. We have a rental that we buy cable for and that we can actually sign in to watch Fox News through the subscription for the rental.
RUSH: I got you.
CALLER: So we got an Airbnb type of thing. It's complicated, Rush. But your Rush 24/7, we've been members since you first started it, and it is something that we take advantage of when we are traveling to go see the kids in the car.
RUSH: Oh, let me tell you something. I'm appreciative of you saying that. It is the best way to access this program when you're on the go, right there on your device. All you need is a decent, halfway decent internet connection. If you're a subscriber, you've got the Dittocam, you've got archives of all this stuff, you've got the podcasts. That's why we've redesigned it and built it up and we've really tried to make the user interface as intuitive and fun as possible. But, man, you've hit kind of a sore spot with me.
Because not only do I want a RushLimbaugh.com Apple TV app, I want it on CarPlay as well. I want it everywhere that people are accessing content. Now, you could use AirPlay on the app if you're a subscriber, video or audio. You could AirPlay the video or audio to your Apple TV, but I would much rather have the direct app that features the live Dittocam every day and then archives of it. Someday it's gonna happen. It's just a matter of things I can't get into here. But in some cases it's priority. The same thing with the CarPlay app.
I want to get on the cutting edge and the front edge of this stuff, because content is king — content, content, content — with the changes rapidly coming in distribution. It used to be people watched cable TV. Cord cutting is happening at a massive rate. These streaming services that you can buy for Apple TV or Roku or whatever service, whatever streaming box you use… I just saw that PlayStation Vue is one of them. It's owned by Sony. PlayStation Vue just today dropped an update that allows you to watch four channels at one time on one screen.
I mean, the tech here is exploding.
So on your screen you could have CNN (if you wanted), then Fox over here, then PMSNBC, or you could have — during March Madness — two or three games at one time if you have a package on PlayStation Vue that covers these things. YouTube… They all have cloud DVR so you can record programs and watch 'em later, and it's all done in the cloud. This is what people are signing up for as they cut the cord from cable, and you'll want to be there. You want your content to be there. We're constantly striving for it. Now, the other question that you asked…? What was the other question you asked?
CALLER: Okay. It wasn't really a question. It was a comment on how we could get to the Millennials about the Green New Deal because what a lot of people don't realize is that tractors and tractor-trailers aren't the only thing involved in getting food to markets that comes from petroleum. Your fertilizers, most of your insecticides, the reality is that the world is fed by petroleum —
RUSH: You know, I have been thinking about this too. I have a lifetime, 30 years on this program, of attempting to penetrate skulls full of mush on this whole subject of climate change and global warming and all. And I have found, Mike, that in the example of the Green New Deal, your way is of course impeccable. It is incontrovertibly true how much petroleum is a factor in daily life, including eating.
But my experience has been that going down that road ends up in a bunch of foggy deer-in-the-headlight eyes, and it's not the way to persuade people who have an emotional connection to what they think is something that's going to save their lives, i.e., by saving the planet. But it's very tempting to get in the mud.
I've always argued with climate scientists on our side who want to take issue with some of the climate scientists on their side. I've said, "Do you realize you're accepting their premise when you start rebutting their science. Their science is manufactured and made up! It's nothing but computer models. You're not gonna persuade anybody but trying to tell 'em that your science is superior to theirs because they have an emotional attachment to that science. They don't know what the science is. They just believe that the earth is being destroyed by United States of America, primarily by Republicans."
So how do you do it? You've got to get out of the weeds and the minutia and you have to start trying to convince them what their life is gonna be like if they get what they want. And you can include how much they're gonna pay in tax, but you also include how their life is gonna change, that 90% of the creature comforts they come to take for granted and expect, if we actually did this Green New Deal, would vanish and would end.
And then list them one by one by one. And even then, I wonder how successful anybody's gonna be at changing their minds because this is youthful, almost religious attachment, to something. It's not the result of reason. It's not the result of thinking. There's nothing intellectual about their attachment to this issue. It's all "I, me, my." It's all about them, and it's all about the world ending before they have a chance to live their lives.
And it's a real challenge to get to them. The greatest thing that's gonna change their minds is age, but people who don't want to wait for that to happen still want to take their best shot at it, as do I each and every day.

**HERE BE DRAGONS**

(Seriously, all this is very WIP, and things might move around a lot.)

Cloud Brain is a service that provides a uniform API endpoint for all cloud compute services that Travis CI interacts with.

This allows for instance creation, metadata, and deletion to be managed in a central place. It allows for generic cleanup tasks to be created. It allows for [worker](https://github.com/travis-ci/worker) to talk to a single service. And finally, it allows for pluggable cloud backends to be implemented, in order to support additional infrastructures.

## Architecture

There are two main parts of Cloud Brain: An HTTP API, and a background worker. The HTTP API does not interact with the compute providers directly, it will queue jobs for the background worker to do that.

The codebase is divided into a few different subpackages:

- `cbcontext`: Contains some wrappers around the [context](http://godoc.org/golang.org/x/net/context) package, which is used all over the remainder of the codebase.
- `cloud`: Contains the implementations for the various cloud providers.
- `cloudbrain`: Contains the "main business logic". Should, generally speaking, be the main entry point for any API calls. The `http` package should only do HTTP-related things and then call this.
- `cmd`: Contains a subpackage for each binary to generate.
  - `cloudbrain-create-token`: Creates an authentication token and pushes it to the database.
  - `cloudbrain-create-worker`: Runs the worker that processes create events, and creates the instances on the cloud provider(s).
  - `cloudbrain-http`: Runs the HTTP API.
  - `cloudbrain-refresh-worker`: Runs the worker that synchronizes the state of the database with the state at the provider(s).
- `database`: Contains all the database-specific logic.
- `http`: Contains the HTTP API logic. This should only do HTTP-specific things (like serialization and specific HTTP errors), but should call into the `cloudbrain` package for the actual business logic.
- `sqitch`: Not a Go package, but contains all the files for [Sqitch](http://sqitch.org/), which is used for database migrations.

## HTTP API

### Authentication

The authentication is token-based, and backed by the database. The tokens themselves aren't stores in the database, only a hashed version using scrypt is stored there.

To generate a token, use the `cloudbrain-create-token` tool:

```
$ cloudbrain-create-token "description of the token"
generated token: 1-b180349faf82840b43ebf27e730f894f
```

This will generate the token locally, connect to the database (remember to set the `DATABASE_URL` environment variable), and upload the salt and hash (which are also computed locally).

The tokens are on the form `id-token`, where the `id` is a numerical ID that the server uses to look up the salt and hash in the database.

To authenticate with the API, pass the token in the `Authorization` header like this:

``` HTTP
Authorization: token 1-b180349faf82840b43ebf27e730f894f
```

If the token is in any way invalid, a 401 will be returned.

### Create instance

```
POST /instances
```

#### Input

| Name             | Type     | Description |
| ---------------- | -------- | ----------- |
| `provider`       | `string` | **Required**. The name of the provider to create the instance on. `gce` is the only currently supported provider. |
| `image`          | `string` | **Required**. The name of the image to use to create the instance. |
| `instance_type`  | `string` | Either `standard` (the default) or `premium`, depending on what kind of VM you'd like to start. May not be supported by all providers. |
| `public_ssh_key` | `string` | The public SSH key to inject into the VM for SSH access. May not be supported by all providers. |

#### Example

``` JSON
{
	"provider": "gce",
	"image": "image-2016-01-01",
	"instance_type": "standard",
	"public_ssh_key": "ssh-rsa …"
}
```

#### Response

```
Status: 201 Created
Location: https://cloud-brain/instances/0d654ef4-75b9-49a6-9f90-f9b1ae3501fc
```

``` JSON
{
	"id": "0d654ef4-75b9-49a6-9f90-f9b1ae3501fc",
	"provider": "gce",
	"image": "image-2016-01-01",
	"instance_type": "standard",
	"public_ssh_key": "ssh-rsa …",
	"ip_address": null,
	"state": "creating"
}
```

### Get instance information

```
GET /instances/:uuid
```

#### Response

The `state` can be one of: `creating`, `starting`, `running`, `terminating`.

```
Status: 200 OK
```

``` JSON
{
	"id": "0d654ef4-75b9-49a6-9f90-f9b1ae3501fc",
	"provider": "gce",
	"image": "image-2016-01-01",
	"ip_address": "203.0.113.175",
	"state": "running"
}
```

## Usage (script)

There is a nice client script that you can use to interact with the API. It uses [httpie](https://github.com/jkbrzt/httpie).

Since httpie supports `~/.netrc` files for authentication, you can create such a file (if it does not already exist), and configure it with your cloud-brain token as follows:

```
machine travis-cloud-brain-staging.herokuapp.com
  login token
  password 0-your-very-secret-cloud-brain-token
```

Example:

```bash
$ script/cloud-brain-staging post instances provider=gce-staging image=travis-ci-amethyst-trusty-1470801111 instance_type=standard
$ script/cloud-brain-staging get instances/6f6466f9-b99b-4b7f-b446-6d85ce4c8958
$ script/cloud-brain-staging delete instances/6f6466f9-b99b-4b7f-b446-6d85ce4c8958
```

The crude price started to increase after mid-2016 and had gain some momentum in 2017, especially toward the end of the year. The oil & gas fishing market has also followed the same trend. Further, in 2018, crude oil price is expected to strengthen more with increased activity from countries, such as the United States, Brazil, Argentina, Nigeria, Iran, and Iraq. The increased activity in the upstream sector results in a rise in the chances of junk, debris, and fish in the wellbore. As a result, the demand for fishing operation is also expected to increase.
The crude oil price had shown some volatility in the beginning of 2018, when the price declined from over USD 72 barrel per day (bpd) to USD 62 bpd, in just two weeks. Saudi Arabia is one of the major crude oil producers in the world, accounting for 13.4% of the global oil production. The country has retained its focus on reducing the excess oil inventories. It is expected to reduce its production by 100,000 bpd in March 2018, in response to OPEC's last meeting in November 2017. OPEC has extended its oil production cut until the end of 2018. The expected decline in production is expected to negatively affect the oil & gas fishing market in the short term.
Brazil and Argentina are one of the major countries in South America's oil & gas industry. They account for around 47% of rig count and 43% of crude oil production in the region. Both the countries had faced lack of investment or disinvestment in the upstream sector in the past few years, before the new government came into power. In Argentina, the government had reduced high subsidies on natural gas, gasoline, and electricity prices in 2016. The government is planning to eliminate natural gas subsidies by 2022 and increase the prices for upstream gas producers, to attract sufficient investment in production. In Brazil, the new conservative government has introduced several reforms such as ending Petrobras' monopoly over the country's prolific hydrocarbon resources and has opened the hydrocarbon reserves to foreign companies as well. The country is aiming for additional oil production capacity of around 2 MMb/d by 2027, that too mostly from deepwater. The recovery of the Brazilian and Argentine upstream oil & gas sector is expected to push the demand for fishing activity in the region.
As of January 2018, the United States has 947 active rigs and more than a million producing wells, and is one of the largest market for fishing in the world. Drilling activity in the United States in 2018 seems to be positive, with the addition of 51 active rig counts in the first 40 days of 2018. Also, the government has opened around 98% its coastal water for drilling, which was earlier not allowed. As a result, the drilling activity is expected to further increase. With the increase in drilling activity, fishing for junks, debris, and fish will also increase. Ramping up of production in the UK and Norway after years of decline, is also driving the oil & gas fishing market.
January 2017: Schlumberger acquired Peak Well System, which is a specialist in the design and development of advanced downhole tools for well intervention, flow control, and well integrity.
MAJOR PLAYERS: Schlumberger Limited, Weatherford International PLC, Baker Hughes, A GE Co., Halliburton Company, National Oilwell Varco, Expro Group, Archer, Odfjell Well Services, and Wellsite Fishing & Rental Services, among others.
9.3 Baker Hughes, A GE Co.

Reward of $100,000 to solve death of Marcus Chin
Marcus Chin
A $100,000 reward is offered for information that leads to an arrest and conviction over the death of Sydney delivery driver Marcus Chin.
Mr Chin was doing deliveries when he was killed on 30 October 2006.
Whilst making a delivery to a suburban home at Peakhurst, Mr Chin heard someone start his van, while it was parked in the driveway.
Mr Chin tried to hop into his van as it was being driven away, but fell under the wheels and sustained fatal injuries.
Despite the vehicle being located a short time after the incident; the driver had fled the scene and has not been identified.
This was an extremely random and callous attack that outraged and shocked the community.
Mr Chin's family have suffered a great loss and the person/s responsible need to be brought to justice.
Mr Campbell said the $100,000 reward was being offered in the hope that it may entice someone with information to come forward to police.
Police are continuing their work on this case and officers believe they can move forward if provided with some further information.
Death of Marcus Chin


So, you waited in line for the much coveted Apple iPhone5? Now that you have your phone, don't take it for granted. One drop onto hard pavement and your shiny new toy can be cracked, scratched, or stop working all together. One of the most important preventative measures for taking care of your iPhone5 is getting it the right case. Keep these factors in mind when you care for your new phone.
Leather cases for iPhone protect the back and sides of your favorite device from scratches, provide some cushion when the phone drops to the ground, and might also have a flap that covers the front screen. Protecting the screen is especially important, because your iPhone5 has a special coating that needs to remain intact. Without it, your Apple phone may not react to your fingers like it's supposed to. Also keep a soft cloth with you so you can safely wipe down the screen when you need to. Leather cases keep your device safe, and are also more stylish than plastic or rubber cases.
Store your iPhone in a secure place. If it's in your purse, keep it in a side pocket without keys or sharp objects and where it can't fall out easily. If it's in your pocket, make sure it's tucked in far enough that it can't fall out accidentally or get easily stolen by a pick pocket. Your iPhone is too cool to get lost because you didn't think about where you stored it. Leather cases also give your phone a little more traction, so it can't slide out of a pocket quite so easily.
Lastly, get a case that sets your iPhone apart. If you get the same case that everyone has, or don't use a case at all, it's too easy for someone else to grab it by accident thinking it's theirs.

Keynote #1: Trustworthy AI
Jeannette M. Wing, , Avenessians Director of the Data Science Institute and Professor of Computer Science Columbia University, New York (USA)
June 30 @ 15:15 - 15:55 (CEST)
Keynote session video
Recent years have seen an astounding growth in deployment of AI systems in critical domains such as autonomous vehicles, criminal justice, healthcare, hiring, housing, human resource management, law enforcement, and public safety, where decisions taken by AI agents directly impact human lives. Consequently, there is an increasing concern if these decisions can be trusted to be correct, reliable, fair, and safe, especially under adversarial attacks. How then can we deliver on the promise of the benefits of AI but address these scenarios that have life-critical consequences for people and society? In short, how can we achieve trustworthy AI?
Under the umbrella of trustworthy computing, there is a long-established framework employing formal methods and verification techniques for ensuring trust properties like reliability, security, and privacy of traditional software and hardware systems. Just as for trustworthy computing, formal verification could be an effective approach for building trust in AI-based systems. However, the set of properties needs to be extended beyond reliability, security, and privacy to include fairness, robustness, probabilistic accuracy under uncertainty, and other properties yet to be identified and defined. Further, there is a need for new property specifications and verification techniques to handle new kinds of artifacts, e.g., data distributions, probabilistic programs, and machine learning based models that may learn and adapt automatically over time. This talk will pose a new research agenda, from a formal methods perspective, for us to increase trust in AI systems.

Keynote #3: Guaranteeing acceptable levels of performability in modern interconnection networks despite congestion
Jose Duato, Member of the Spanish Royal Academy of Sciences and Professor of Computer Architecture, Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain)
As the number, variety, and sophistication of Internet applications keeps growing and the number of client requests per time unit keeps increasing, datacenters are adopting hyperscale computing solutions to scale with the demand, and provide appropriate support for interactive services. As system size increases, the cost of the interconnection network grows faster than system size, thus becoming increasingly important to carefully design it to prevent overprovisioning. However, by doing so, the network operation point moves closer to saturation, and sudden traffic bursts may lead to congestion. This situation is aggravated by the recent introduction of flow control in datacenter networks to cope with RDMA requirements. The result is a massive performance degradation whenever some network region becomes congested. Moreover, performance degradation may remain for long even after the traffic bursts that congested the network have already been transmitted. This performance degradation is not compatible with trustworthiness. In this keynote, I will show why congestion appears in an interconnection network, how it propagates, and why performance may degrade so dramatically. Different kinds of congestion will be identified. Also, a global solution to address the congestion problem will be proposed. It consists of several complementary mechanisms that cooperate to address all kinds of congestion and operate at different time scales. Some of these mechanisms have been recently incorporated into commercial products and are being standardized. Keywords: Interconnection network, congestion management, datacenters
Jose Duato is Professor in the Department of Computer Engineering (DISCA) at the Technical University of Valencia (Universitat Politècnica de València). His current research interests include interconnection networks, multicore and multiprocessor architectures, and accelerators for deep learning. He published over 500 refereed papers. According to Google Scholar, his publications received more than 16,000 citations. He proposed a theory of deadlock-free adaptive routing that has been used in the design of the routing algorithms for the Cray T3E supercomputer, the on-chip router of the Alpha 21364 microprocessor, and the IBM BlueGene/L supercomputer. He also developed RECN, a scalable congestion management technique, and a very efficient routing algorithm for fat trees that has been incorporated into Sun Microsystem's 3456-port InfiniBand Magnum switch. Prof. Duato led the Advanced Technology Group in the HyperTransport Consortium, and was the main contributor to the High Node Count HyperTransport Specification 1.0. He also led the development of rCUDA, which enables remote virtualized access to GP-GPU accelerators using a CUDA interface. Prof. Duato is the first author of the book "Interconnection Networks: An Engineering Approach". He also served as a member of the editorial boards of IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, IEEE Transactions on Computers, and IEEE Computer Architecture Letters. Prof. Duato was awarded with the National Research Prize in 2009 and the "Rey Jaime I" Prize in 2006. He is a member of the Spanish Royal Academy of Sciences.

An integrated vehicular emission control programme for the city of Delhi using retrofitted emission control technologies
The City of Delhi, with a human population of over 16 million has nearly 9 million vehicles on its roads running over 100 billion kilometers every year, spewing out nearly 4 million tonnes of fuel emissions into the atmosphere every year (9900 tonnes per day). About 2 to 5% of these emissions (about 200 to 500 tonnes per day) are in the form of highly toxic gases and particulate matter hazardous to human health and well being.

Cheap hydrogen catalyst unveiled
Researchers have found a new, efficient catalyst to convert ethanol and other biofuels into hydrogen - a discovery that could help make the use of hydrogen-powered cars more practical in the future.
The catalyst - which was presented this week at the American Chemical Society meeting in Philadelphia -makes hydrogen from ethanol with 90 per cent yield.
It is much less expensive than others being developed around the world because it does not contain precious metals, such as platinum or Thodium.

Adsorption and Photodegradation of Dimethyl Methylphosphonate Vapor at TiO_2 Surfaces
Moss, John A. and Szczepankiewicz, Steven H. and Park, Eleanor and Hoffmann, Michael R. (2005) Adsorption and Photodegradation of Dimethyl Methylphosphonate Vapor at TiO_2 Surfaces. Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 109 (42). pp. 19779-19785. ISSN 1520-6106. https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20150806-062700164
The adsorption and degradation of the nerve agent simulant dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) over UV-irradiated TiO2 powders and thin films has been investigated. Adsorption of vapor-phase DMMP on TiO_2 powder is characterized by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS). Photochemically assisted oxidation of adsorbed DMMP is carried out in situ by irradiation of samples in the DRIFTS accessory, giving kinetic data and information on specific site binding of DMMP and catalyst poisoning. Gas-phase intermediates from a static vapor phase reaction are identified by gas chromatography−mass spectrometry analysis, and surface-bound intermediates and products are analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography−mass spectrometry, and ion chromatography of both aqueous and organic extractions from the TiO_2. Adsorbed DMMP is photodegraded in a stepwise fashion to give methylphosphonic acid, PO_4^(3-), H_2O, and CO_2 as products. A proposed reaction pathway is consistent with a rapid degradation of DMMP but with extensive poisoning of the catalyst by surface-bound phosphonate products.

Your prospects are as distracted now as they've ever been.
We have endless distractions fighting for our attention.
We've got enough stimulation to drive our lizard brains wild — only a click away.
They were into your pitch. They dug it. They were ready to respond. And then something else happened, and they opened another tab.
The emotional wind went out of their sails.
And even though your pitch is still sitting there in 1 of 50 tabs… They're just not into it.
This is why direct mail isn't dead. This is why direct mail — in many markets — is still a highly-effective medium. Sure, the list universe shrunk with the rise of the internet. But with direct mail, people have to actually throw it away — they can't just click and forget.
How do you battle this war against attention attrition?
Not even — and I'll admit I've used this as a crutch too much — bigger market forces that suggest an action is needed.
This is part of why I like selling physical products. Because people can actually imagine a situation where there are literally a specific number of the products sitting on your shelf. And they don't want to miss out, so they reply.
It's also a good reason to tie a sale to any specific date on the calendar. And it almost doesn't matter what date — as long as you make it relevant. And as long as you don't offer the same deal after that date.
Limited time and limited quantity are very effective ways to up the urgency.
What if you can't use traditional urgency enhancers?
This is a struggle in financial copywriting, especially when you're doing an acquisition promo that's supposed to just run as long as it works.
You can't tell someone there's a limited number of copies of a newsletter. You can't typically work a date into a promo that's supposed to run for who-knows-how-long.
You have to find other factors that suggest urgency.
For example, if you're teasing a stock, you can look at company-specific events that might move the stock higher.
If you're looking at a market move, what events are going on in society or the markets that will cause big fluctuations in price?
You have to dig — and sometimes get creative.
For example, if you have a specific technology stock, you may have to look for industry surveys that show how companies are increasing investment in the tech.
Or maybe there's a government approval of the new technology. Or, using an example from biotech, maybe there's a novel treatment in the approval pipeline.
I once wrote a promo about fast profit opportunities in takeovers of small gold stocks. And in the pitch, I did such a good job of positioning my expert as uncannily accurate at picking mining stock takeovers right before they happened, that the urgency was automatic. But it was doubly-powerful when one of the stocks ACTUALLY got taken over when the promo was in final edits, so we tweaked the promo to say what happened, showing the opportunities whizzing by.
Let me throw in a caveat here. If you make up urgency factors just to try to generate response, it will typically fall flat.
Yeah, you can get away with it a little bit. Especially if you're vague.
But the more real the urgency factors are, the more credible and believable they will be.
And it's credibility and believability that will drive response.
When you have that, you can't do too much. If you have three immensely believable (because they are truthful) reasons to act fast, state them clearly and concisely. If you've got one but it's really important, say it.
Even better, dramatize it. Show it.
I once posted a picture of a box of my books, that had just arrived from the printer. I explained how I had just sold out of the last box. I don't even think I pushed hard in terms of expressing the urgency in words. But when you see a box of a physical product, it's clear there's a limited quantity.
I've also heard of companies posting pictures of a truck of merchandise that's shown up. Or the last stack of a product being liquidated. Or… WHATEVER IS REAL FOR YOU.
If it feels real and is at least somewhat urgent, it will feel urgent. And that will drive response.
PS: I also think the readability score of copy that works is dropping, too. I don't have quantitative evidence of this yet. But I'm noticing the language in the big promos today seems simpler than it was even a year ago. This speaks to the attention issue. It's something I've fought, but am now turning to embrace. The old rule was grade 7.5. The Hemingway app website says this essay was written so a 5th grader can understand.


A Victorian home can be a showcase for the classic styles that made the era's furniture and architecture so popular. However, there are a few different approaches you can take when you need Victorian house decorating ideas, depending upon your living space needs, budget and level of investment in the project. You can add a Victorian ambiance with beautiful tableaux, or do a full-home makeover with finishes, furnishings and landscaping in the Victorian style.
Classic Victorian Style – The classic Victorian style features architecture elements such as columns, bead board, prominent mantels, wainscoting, hardwood floors and window seats. The palette features darkly stained wooden furniture and wallpaper in ornate floral, vines or paisley. Upholstered chairs, oriental carpets, canopy beds, claw foot tubs and elaborately framed paintings are typical design elements. Picture windows and French doors afford views of the typical English garden, less manicured and with trellises, and walls or gazebos as frames for vines and wildflowers.
Shabby Chic – The shabby chic decor trend has been enormously popular for over a decade. This approach to decorating a Victorian home is more affordable and casual. Vintage pieces, distressed finishes and eclectic, non-matching elements are common. A collection of chipped floral teacups look perfect on a corner cupboard. A faded chintz or paisley couch is at home next to an elaborate rug and a round white coffee table. Colors are light, almost faded, to give a timeworn look. Icy pink, pistachio green, cornflower blue and pale lavender are common hues, but the most common shade is antique white. Small tables, cabinets, baskets and other flea market finds fit the shabby chic look when painted with antiquing kits or a thin coat of whitewash.
Bohemian Modern – For a look with more drama, the popular Bohemian modern look is ideal in a Victorian home. In this decor, arts, crafts and vintage pieces are key. Prop a large painting against a wall as a focal point, and set up mismatched upholstered armchairs for viewing it. Fill shelves, bookcases and cabinets with collectibles and oddities, mixing old with new and artisan with kitschy. For example, you might surround a family heirloom vase with a collection of sea glass, or create a gallery of black velvet paintings along the stairwell. Dark blues, greens and reds create a moody vibe, accentuated with lanterns, wall sconces or candles stuck into wine bottles.
Victorian house decorating ideas consisted of classic colors, floral patterns, and elegant candles and wall decor. Though the Victorian era ended more than a century ago, you can still use the colors and styles of the era to add a vintage touch to your home decor. There are four decorating conventions commonly associated with the Victorian era: specific colors, floral wallpaper, gold and wood picture frames, and velvet fabrics.

Physicians' Canes
The Physicians' Cane: use and meaning
Alexander Blackhall-Morison's Cane
Richard Bright's Cane
William Cullen's Cane
Matthew Holmes' Cane
Plaited Snake Cane
Presidential Cane
Gold Headed Canes and the Walking Cane
fourcanes.jpg
This project was carried out by Katie Dumm, an intern from the University of Edinburgh, and relates to a collection of nine physicians' canes dating mainly from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
Traditionally, canes and physicians had a close association. In Greek mythology the deity Asclepius, who was associated with medicine and health, wielded a rod with a serpent wound round it. The physicians cane came into vogue in Britain in the eighteenth-century, after the fashion of cane carrying crossed the Channel from France. The cane was associated with the professions, emphasising the masculinity of intellectual rationality rather than physical prowess. Physicians' canes were often passed from one physician to the next, some for centuries. Their popularity began to decline in the early nineteenth-century, but the tradition of the physicians cane carried over into the twentieth-century, mostly through portraiture.
The Royal College of Physicians has a total of nine canes including the presidential 'gold-headed' cane'. Acquired over several years, the canes are united in their type (seven are definitely of the 'decorative' variety) but differ significantly in their designs, thus making them an interesting and diverse collection.
An online web resource was created, which provides new insight into
The various individuals who owned the canes
The symbolism and meaning of physicians' canes
Connections between the canes and incidents that occurred in Edinburgh locally

TiP general
TiP Scores Explained
TiP (for "Time Predictor") is a utility provided by Family Tree DNA. It is accessible to all FTDNA customers with Y-DNA results who have matches listed within the FTDNA reporting windows. It is also available to project administrators for calculating the probabilities that any two project members share a direct paternal ancestor within up to 24 generations.
TiP is superior to most TMRCA calculators. Rather than assume an average mutation rate for all markers compared, TiP uses individual marker mutation frequencies. Because marker mutation rates vary significantly between markers, the TiP scores
As we use it here, TiP is a truer and simpler measure of genetic distances between individuals than other metrics such as the number of markers in disagreement or a sum of the differences (sometimes called "genetic distance"). TiP boils the complexities down to one number.
The composite TiP score is an index of how closely a member matches the entire group. Generally, the member with the highest score is the central member.
Unless stated otherwise, TiP probabilities are from TiP version 1 (v1) in effect from August 1, 2012 to December 11, 2012. Another version was in effect from December 12, 2012 to January 17, 2013 and was replaced with version 3 (v3) on January 18, 2013. We are in the process of updating to v3. In the meantime, we've made some observations about how v1 and v3 compare:
For close matches, v3 = v1;
For more distant matches v3 <= v1.

Bangladesh: Hundreds of garment workers sacked after protests over pay.
Tens of thousands of workers walked out of factories in December in a manufacturing hub supplying clothes for brands such as Gap, Zara and H&M. The protests were sparked by the sacking of 121 workers, but soon evolved into demands for an increase in the minimum wage.
More than 50 factories were closed in late December to try to contain the protests, which escalated after police fired rubber bullets that injured 10 demonstrators, according to labour leader Taslima Akhter. Many workers are facing criminal charges, and a reporter was also arrested.
