Stan-X and Discovery Now
Understanding organ development and achieving functional restoration of diseased organs is a broad goal motivating effort in our group. Pancreatic islets of Langerhans, endocrine organs that secrete insulin and glucagon, have emerged as a paradigm for investigating both organ development and restoration. Deficiency of insulin-producing islet β-cells or their function underlies the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus, a disease with devastating autoimmune (type 1), pandemic (type 2), and exocrine-associated (type 3c) forms. However, islet replacement, or preservation in diabetes, is ultimately limited by our inadequate understanding of mechanisms controlling islet formation, growth and immunological protection. To discover these mechanisms, my laboratory is using a combination of genetic, developmental, immunological, physiological and genomic approaches in different experimental systems, with a focus on several fundamental questions:

 What are the cellular, molecular, signaling and genetic mechanisms regulating pancreatic development and functional maturation?

 Can we harness our growing understanding of pancreatic islet development to generate replacement islets for diabetes, including islet cells generated from human stem cell lines?

 What are the genetic programs underlying diabetes risk?

 What immunological and transplantation paradigms can be developed to protect native or replacement islets in type 1 diabetes?

 Can we advance understanding of normal pancreas development and function to discover the basis of devastating exocrine pancreatic diseases, including pancreatic cancer?

To address these challenges, our group has developed new approaches in mice, fruit flies, pigs, primary human pancreatic cells, and multipotent human stem cells. Each of these systems offers different experimental advantages. Discoveries from our systems have created unprecedented opportunities for harnessing knowledge about pancreatic development and growth to restore pancreas islet function, and to identify the molecular, genetic, signaling, and immune basis of pancreatic diseases like diabetes mellitus, pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer.

Philip Beachy
The Ernest and Amelia Gallo Professor, Professor of Urology, of Developmental Biology and, by courtesy, of Chemical and Systems Biology
Function of Hedgehog proteins and other extracellular signals in morphogenesis (pattern formation), in injury repair and regeneration (pattern maintenance). We study how the distribution of such signals is regulated in tissues, how cells perceive and respond to distinct concentrations of signals, and how such signaling pathways arose in evolution. We also study the normal roles of such signals in stem-cell physiology and their abnormal roles in the formation and expansion of cancer stem cells.

Occasionally, the universe hands you a lollipop for your hard work after you've been eating meal after meal of humble pie. On Monday night, when we walked into Loganberry books in the Shaker Heights neighborhood of Cleveland, we got our lollipop. One of the great pleasures of going on tour is discovering new bookstores. And the second you walk into Loganberry, you realize you've stepped into a literary oasis.
We imagined Loganberry to be a tiny bookstore because every time we called prior to our arrival, Harriet Logan, the owner of the store, always answered the phone herself. But we walked into a mecca of books, with room after room of rare first editions, startling book oddities, and even a real vintage rack of Golden Books. And then there was Otis the cat. It was like we died and woke up in book heaven.
Harriet could not have been more warm and gracious. She took us to a room in the back that was set up living room style with purple chairs and cozy couches. Olive was whisked off by our old friend Margaret and Andrew to have Apple Pie with "whup" cream. Margaret was our intern one summer while she was a student at Reed College. Now she is a professor at Oberlin! Clearly, we taught her everything she ever needed to know!!!
To our surprise and delight, a very charming and ruggedly handsome fellow showed up with a giant state-of-the-art camera bearing the logo of ABC. Turns out he was there to film our Pitchapalooza for the eleven o'clock news.
Our guest panelist for the night was, Anne Trubek, a professor at Oberlin and author of A Skeptic's Guide To Writer's Houses, was wise and witty. Our pitchees formed a semicircle with Otis-the-cat taking up the right end. As the lights went up and the camera started rolling, you could feel the tension and excitement mounting in the room. And, as always, we heard some top notch pitches. In fact, we choose two winners. Erick Trickey gave a truly stunning pitch about a much misunderstood American Legend. You'll have to wait for the book to be published to find out who it is! And Katheryn Norris captured us with her tale of what happens when American teenage excess meets India. Afterwards, we roamed the shelves finding ourselves each a gem to come home with. We could've stayed there for days. In the end, we think Olive did best of all, not only did she befriend Otis-the-cat, but she came home with a vintage edition of Alice in Wonderland!
One last thought, Loganberry is the opposite of retail chains taking over America. Its individual flare was noticeable from all the way down the block. We've never seen a bookstore like it before and we're sure we won't find another. This is what's so exciting about the independent bookselling community. It represents, in many ways, what's best about our country. Have a dream, build it, and let them come.
Tour City is a strange, simultaneously liberating and alienating place, full of smiling chamber maids who don't speak English, concierges who are walking wikipedias (or know absolutely nothing), and bell hops who make Olive's day.
We always assume we're going to get so much done when we're going to go on tour because, let's face it, you don't have to do dishes, or laundry, or pay bills, or or or. In theory, you're only working a couple hours a day. Each time, we go on tour, we vow to work out every day, finish writing our novel, and catch up on all of our emails. But the reality is, the days go by lickety split, and everything is slightly exhausting, and you don't get enough sleep even if you get enough sleep, and instead of working out rigorously, you always, inevitably, end up eating the molten chocolate cake with raspberry coulis and a scoop of ice cream instead. Plus, there's the relentless pressure of having to not only put on a great show, but make sure there's an audience that shows up. Occasionally we fantasize about what it must be like to be Sue Grafton, Neil Gaiman or Margaret Atwood. Where all you have to do is show up and the general public flocks. The frustrating part for us is that we just know there are tens of thousands of writers who desperately need our help wherever we go. From goth teenagers to octogenarian grandmas, soccer moms to newly minted college grads, CEOs to cab drivers, we just know that every city is full of Citizen Authors with dreams of writing successful books. But even in this day of Twitter and Facebook, it's just hard to connect with and let writers know what we're up to and how we can help them. And so far this tour has felt a little bit like the classic movie, Spinal Tap. Remember when the band shows up at record stores where the only person in attendance is the incredibly apologetic record company rep? But we keep reminding each other to embrace the joy and feel the love. And in this respect, it's been an absolute boon to have Olive with us. She doesn't care whether anyone shows up, she's just excited about going to a strange new place called Cleveland.
Today, Arielle took Olive down for breakfast and we met Darryl the Bellman. He took us up to one of the three largest ballrooms in the world. Then took us to the special piano room which housed two grand pianos. He sat down and played Scott Joplin rags while Olive danced. As we walked out, an old lady in a classic hotel uniform watched us. Turns out it was Miss Ida who has been working at the hotel since 1951. As we left the hotel today, Darryl handed Olive a yogurt and a spoon that was a gift from Miss Ida. This was all just a reminder of what is truly important in life, to see 50-year-old Darryl and 3-year-old Olive, these two kindred spirits, make such a joyful connection. Despite the difficulties and the challenges, we also keep reminding each other that you never know how and when the tipping point will be reached–when that big piece or some world famous blogger will mention your book in just the right context to send it shooting through the roof.
And then there's Dayton…Books and Company has been a stalwart for us. We've been twice before and both times our events were packed. This is a store that knows how to put on an event, knows how to draw a crowd. Good to know you can always depend on Dayton.
We were lucky enough to share a Pitchapalooza stage in Pittsburgh with one of the savviest writers we've ever met: Nancy Martin. She's written 50 books. 50 BOOKS! When she told us that we felt small & stupid. She's the winner of the 2009 Lifetime Achievement award for mystery writing from Romantic Times magazine. Her tag line says it all: Just keep reading & nobody gets hurt. She also helped found a writer's workshop/conference called Pennwriters.
Selma Hyjek wrote about this lovely article about our trip to lovely Smith.
It's hard to tell sometimes whether the universe has it in for you, or life is a series of random events. At our first event at Borders outside Washington DC, the manager of the store didn't know there was an event there that night, and had only 3 copies of our books on hand. Then, two days before leaving for Pittsburgh, we found out that we'd be the last event at the Joseph-Beth bookstore there, as they were closing their doors later in the week.
When we walked into Joseph-Beth, it looked like the fall of Saigon, people grabbing gigantically discounted books hand over fist. The book distributor who supplies the books for the store had moved in palettes of boxes, just waiting to ship out inventory. So we did our event in front of the gallows, with the hangmen waiting to slip the noose around the neck of yet another bookstore . It certainly seemed like a sign from above. Or maybe from below. With all the rumors going around that the book business is going down the toilet, it seemed cruel and ironic that we were dropped down right in the middle of a bookstore execution.
That being said, a bunch of brave writers showed up with dreams in their hearts and stardust in their eyes, ready to jumpstart their publishing career, and have their dreams of becoming successfully published writers come true. And we had two fantastic panelists, Vince Rause, a client of Arielle's who has written, among other things, the New York Times bestseller, Miracle in the Andes, a truly inspirational book about the rugby team that crashed in the Andes. Our other panelist was the mystery writer, Nancy Martin, who revealed that she has written over 50 books. Suddenly we felt so insigrnificant.
As always, we heard some great pitches. The winner, Candace Bangs, gave an airtight pitch for her YA novel full of tragedy, drama, and paranormal activity. It's funny how once the event starts, the focus becomes so intense that everything else is blocked out. So while we were listening to and deconstructing all the pitches, the madness raging all around us faded into the background.
Yes, the book business may be going through troubled times, but it seems like human beings will always tell and listen to stories.
Plus we got a great tour afterwards from Vince amd had some crazy good tacos. Pittsburgh rocks hard.
7:30AM came ridiculously early this Saturday morning. Knowing we had to make it from DC to Pittsburgh in our rental car by 1:30 PM, there was no time to lose. As Olive (our three-year-old daughter who is on tour with us) watched Dora the Explorer, we threw clothes into suitcases, computer cords into bags, and food into bellies. The edge of manic franticness finally dissipated as we drove onto the highway and were serenaded by the spectacular explosion of autumnal colors and the soothing sounds of Scott Simon's voice.
While we basked in the ochres, oranges and burgundies, we listened to a fantastic interview with Pat Conroy, talking about his new memoir, My Reading Life. We were particularly excited when we heard him speak of how his mother read poetry to him when he was a wee lad because one of the projects we're working on is a collection of poetry for kids to say out loud. His interview confirmed for us the power of the spoken word.
Conroy also told a beautiful story about his mother reading Gone with the Wind to him and how she would relate the characters in the story to the people in their own family's lives. Naturally, his mother cast herself as Scarlett O'Hara. We loved hearing him talk about how, at an early age, the relationship between art and life was formed through the beautiful soothing voice of his mother reading bedtime stories to the young future bestselling author. It made us reflect on how valuable it is for young Olive to hear the stories we read to her and made us feel connected to that great tradition of passing stories from generation to generation that has been with human beings since we lived in caves.
Come join us for PITCHAPALOOZA in the Big Apple, November 11th at 7PM. We'll be at the Barnes & Noble situated at 150 E. 86th Street, New York, NY.
On the road. Again. Yes, we've just taken off to begin our book tour. After all the flight arrangements, rental car machinations, hotel bookings, Facebook event announcements, dry cleaning, haircuts, prepping, packing, and panicking, we are finally embarking on our odyssey, like Odysseus before us. Only instead of Trojan horses, soul sucking sirens and a gigantic cyclops, we will be going up against book critics, baby booming bloggers, and publishing industry at large which is like a leaky rowboat barely staying afloat in the Sea of Recession. But we are brimming with excitement, visions of a rabid readers and writers, the delighted bright eyed booksellers and packed Pitchapaloozas with books flying off shelves dancing in our heads. Plus, we have a lovely and talented three-year-old daughter Olive with us. See you soon, America!


put the tube yes or yes...? what?
So the only way its to connect the tube on top to send items to the input slot.
Something like the drill from The Laser Mod, where if you right click a block it brings up a custom gui for input and output would be amazing. If it is possible to do so, it could work by calling the gui and filling all the slots with designator colors. Then by clicking the slots you can cycle between the color. Lastly there would be a small overlay gui that would appear where a players inventory usually is that would allow you to select which sides are inputs, outputs or neither, through the use of 6 slots that can be colored similarly to the normal gui's slots.
There is a rare mythical button called "Search" that likes to answer questions; however, due to its nature, it often blends in with its surroundings so as to remain hidden.
Does it work for bukkit servers? If it does'nt,can you make it work for bukkit servers?
Yes! RP2pr4d is available for Minecraft 1.1. So there you go.
now i hope this isnt my fault, and ive installed all the redpower files and such, in the right place too!
If you really did do everything right then the only reason it doesnt work is the gods of minecraft must hate you. Repent of your sins and all will work. Too bad you didnt do anything wrong, because if it was USER ERROR someone would have been able to help you.
Have a look in your ModLoader.txt file in your .minecraft directory.
You should see lines like the following if all of RedPower is installed correctly.

hmm... logs or it didn't happen.
no pipes or wires? is it that they don't appear in TMI?
It doesnt have them in creative either.
And Sorry if i've displeased the minecraft gods, i didnt mean to :sad.gif: and i said i installed the redpower files in the right place ( mods folder )and i hoped it wasnt my fault not saying it wasnt.
Thank you :smile.gif: the " problem " has been resolved :biggrin.gif: sorry if I've wasted your time with a small and horrible fail on my part.
I seem to have lost my gui for the micro blocks. Which means I can no longer see where they r going to place I have to guess.

Is anyone else having trouble placing lava down on there server?.
I really want to take use of the Thermopile Block, but every time I place down a bucket of lava, the lava disappears. This only happens on my server.
I am pretty sure this is a forge bug. I know Eloraam is a maintainer of forge... So I thought I let her know.
the forge is not working, does this mean i cant install redpower?
How can I disable those micro blocks? They fill whole the NEI menu... And I don't use them.
You can right click them in the dropdown subset lists in NEI (top-center of inventory screen) to prevent NEI from displaying them. It works for every single block/item that NEI can actually read.
Yes there is a fix but it has absolutely zero to do with redpower. Forge bug. And fix is in the forge thread.
Ask in the NEI thread would be a good start.
Ugh, maybe at least read the last 4-5 pages of a thread before posting. If you did you would already know the error is caused by forge and that there is a fix on the forge thread that you can search for. If you post asking for the fix, you will annoy a great many people who will all talk about the great search button deity and how his followers are few in number.
how do you farm flax seeds if you can?

Home » 30 day blog challenge » blogging » natalie sisson » sara mortimer » The suitcase entrepreneur » Why Am I Writing This Blog?
It has been over a year since I started this blog, and the reasons for it have morphed over time.
When I first decided to write a blog, it was originally meant to inform my friends and family about my illness and my progress as I went forward with treatment. I found it easier to write about how I was feeling and share it that way than to repeat my story many times to different people.
As things progressed, I found out how bad my prognosis was, I struggled terribly through my first few chemotherapy sessions and I realized that writing the blog was a huge cathartic outlet for me. I had so much sadness and pain that was inside me and I needed to get it out. I was so worried about dying. I was worried about leaving my kids at such a young age, and I was worried about leaving my husband.
Great Friends through thick & thin.
Soon I found myself writing feverishly at odd hours of the night, crying over the loss of self and wondering how I would ever get back out of the dark black hole of cancer. I was mad about it. If I could not write I felt deprived, I actually craved sitting at my computer letting it all out. One could say it was because being so sick there wasn't much else I could do, but there was more to it than that. Every time I wrote I felt better, my tears flowed, my heart ached and the pain got out, rather than being stuck inside.
Pretty soon I started to get emails from people about my blog posts. These were not just from friends who were moved by my words, these emails came from people all over the world who I didn't know. They were writing to thank me for being so candid in sharing my experiences, they were writing to tell me their stories and they were writing with prayers for my recovery. The more response I got, the more I felt I needed to be brutally honest with my posts and spare no detail when it came to what I was going through, and as it turns out, this is exactly what my followers wanted. I realized my story was helping others. In writing about my experiences I was shedding a very real light on what it is like to go through cancer treatment and I was giving others hope that there was a way back out from the hell hole.
I personally wasn't even close to out of it for a long time, but as time progressed and with each new post and each new follower and each comment of "Thank You" and "tell me more", I did find my way up and out. Recovering from cancer is a huge mountain to climb and it turns out my blog was very instrumental in getting me there.
So my blog, originally designed to reach only family and friends is now shared globally and is helping cancer patients and caregivers everywhere. It has morphed into two books "The Year I Died" and "The Cancer Warriors Handbook", a Warrior Bag Program to give back to local cancer patients and sometime in the next six months the sequel to "The Year I Died" will be available.
Now that my blog is reaching a wider audience I decided it would be a good idea to become more proficient at blogging and learn a few tips about how to improve my posts and make things more valuable to you my audience. So I enrolled in the 30 Day Blog Challenge. I do hope you will enjoy my posts over the next 30 days as I go through this course and learn how to "be a better blogger" isn't that great alliteration.

There is good news for Detroit's children in this post. Both the graduation rate and the drop out rate are improving. This post shows, among other indicators of educational attainment, that the drop out rate in Detroit's schools is declining, while the graduation rate is increasing.
In this post we also present educational attainment information by Census tract for the City of Detroit and a comparison of educational attainment for the City of Detroit and the State of Michigan.
From 2007 to 2009, the graduation rate for Detroit Public Schools slowly increased. After a drop to 59.7 percent in 2011, the Detroit graduation rate rose to 64.7 percent in 2012. In the same time frame, the State of Michigan's graduation rate has not dipped below 74.3 percent. In 2012, it was recorded at 76.2 percent. Thus, there is some closing of the gap between Detroit and the state.
The same is true for drop out rates. The drop out rates for both Detroit and Michigan decreased from 2007 to 2009 and then remained relatively flat from 2009 to 2012. Nevertheless, the gap between the state and Detroit declined.
The graduation rates examined are based on the percentage of each four year cohort that graduates.
According to information from the 2007-2011 American Community Survey, 28.3 percent of the Detroit's population aged 18 to 24 years old had less than a high school diploma. The percentage for all Michigan residents was 17.4 percent. Those with a high school degree, or equivalent, comprised 33.4 percent and those with some college made up 34.6 percent of this same population. In the 2007-2011 time frame there were 3.7 percent of Detroit residents with a bachelor's degree or higher. For Michigan, this was 6.7 percent.
In both Detroit and Michigan, the highest level of education attained by most residents aged 25 and older was a high school degree, or the equivalent: 33.4 percent in Detroit and 31.1 percent in Michigan. Those with some college education, but no degree, made up 25.3 percent of the 25 and older population in Detroit and 23.8 percent in Michigan. While the city and state had similar rates in those two categories, Detroit had higher percentages of residents with less than a high school diploma and Michigan had higher percentages of residents with college degrees.
The above map shows the number of Detroit residents who received a high school diploma, or the equivalent, according to the American Community Survey 2007-2011 5-year estimate. The lowest levels of those who only earned a diploma are in the city's inner core. Some of these locations in the lightest shade of purple are primarily industrial centers or commercial properties. There were nine Census tracts, shown in the darkest shade of purple, where at least 500 residents had a minimum of a high school diploma.
College graduates in Detroit are concentrated in three areas. These include, first, the far east side, areas adjacent to the Pointes. Second there is a corridor along the Jefferson Boulevard into downtown and then up through Midtown. Third, a large area of the Northwest has a high number of college graduates.

It's Wowza Wednesday…and I found two fun ones this week. With a trip to my local Tuesday Morning I came upon these three beauties! They would bring such glamour in a room for a baby or even for a big girls room. One was slightly damaged, but that never deters me. Someone out there can fix anything! The original price for the first one was $650 down to $195!
These two were in perfect condition…$250 for the one on the left and $275 for the one on the right. Now those are some Wowzas. You just can't find mirrored furniture in that price range.

WFH, Back to the Office, or Hybrid?
What Employers Need to Know About The Future of Work
Webinar Previously Held
April 13th & 14th, 2021
At the beginning of the pandemic, WFH was praised as the future of work. However, as we near the hopeful end of the pandemic, mindsets around ideal work styles are shifting. Between exclusively working from home, returning to the traditional office or adopting a hybrid model, there is much to consider for both employers (and employees) before deciding one way or another.
In this webinar, Jack Kelly, an expert on recruiting and retaining employee talent, will weigh in on several aspects to consider when it comes to the different work styles, citing both recent research and trends. Can companies achieve efficiency and work/life balance with the hybrid model? What are some of the pitfalls to remote working and can they be avoided? And what will employees expect from their employers in this new work era? Following the 45–minute presentation, there will be a 15–minute live Q&A.

This webinar will be hosted by Jack Kelly, the Founder and CEO of the Compliance Search Group and Senior Contributor to Forbes.

Does your Desk Make it Easy to Get Work Done?
The productivity-draining culprit is often excess clutter. According to Inc.com, having less clutter on your desk can help you focus and stay on task. We bring you a few easy solutions to help you tidy up your tech and make your workspace more comfortable and productive.
The first step in prepping for productivity is to look for devices that have multiple ports, like a USB hub with fast-charge ports. This will keep the devices being charged in one area around the hub rather than spread out wherever an outlet is accessible.
Untidy cables are a huge eyesore and a simple fix to cutting down the amount of cables is to invest in ones that have multiple connectors and connect to a few of your devices (ie. phone, tablet, camera, and SD card reader). Also, a multi-port adapter is a simple solution to keep you connected to any device, in any situation. A 4-in-1 Video Adapter, for example, works well at your desk for adding an extra monitor, but you can just as easily take it with you to the boardroom or use it to connect to a TV when on the road.
Take your workstation transformation to the next level by adding a docking station that supports multiple monitors. A single-cable universal docking station makes it easy to extend to two or more displays for maximum productivity. Better yet, some USB-C docking stations now provide power delivery, further reducing the need for excess cables.
Now that you've got a solid plan for managing multiple devices, let's turn our attention to the set up of your workstation. While not great for your health, sitting all day can also negatively impact your productivity.
Standing desks are a great solution to getting out of your seat and onto your feet. However, full standing desks can be expensive. We recommend a sit-to-stand desk that mounts on your existing desktop as a simple and cost-effective option to getting the standing desk experience and reaping all the same productivity and health benefits. It's a win-win.
Managing your monitors is the next step in transforming your workspace for maximum comfort and peak productivity. To avoid neck and eye strain (from a seated or standing position), it's important to be able to easily adjust and customize the position of your monitors. Adding a monitor arm will make long hours at your monitors more comfortable.
From connectivity and device management to sit-to-stand desks, these simple solutions make it easy to create a more comfortable and productive workstation.

The first night of SXSW Music was marked by tragedy when a car drove into a crowd near the busy Sixth Street corridor of Austin, Texas, and struck scores of people, killing two and injuring 23.
Reports of what exactly happened are sketchy, but multiple eyewitness accounts described a car traveling at high speed north up Red River Street—the north/south street that intersects the city's famous Sixth Street and is home to a few famous music venues, including Stubb's and Mohawk—and hitting numerous people. Many have speculated the driver of the vehicle was intoxicated, but nothing has been confirmed yet. Austin authorities have only said that 23 people were transported to area hospitals, five of them in critical condition, and two of them dead.
A YouTube video captured the scene shortly after the accident, which occurred around 12:30 a.m. local time. The driver of the car is in police custody.
UPDATE: The Austin American-Statesman explained that police looking for drunk drivers had attempted to pull over the suspect at a nearby gas station. According to the police report, the driver weaved through the gas station, went the wrong way down one street, then turned up Red River, which was closed to vehicle traffic.
He drove two blocks through the pedestrians and at 11th, he struck a moped with a man and woman, who both died at the scene, Acevedo said.
The driver kept going, hit a taxi and a parked van, before jumping out of the car and fleeing on foot. The same officer who initiated the stop chased him all the way through and tased him, the police chief said.
Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo said the driver will face capital-murder charges for the deaths and 23 counts of aggravated assault with a vehicle. Authorities say a large portion of Red River will be closed for most of the day Thursday.

This block of steel will help you make better coffee.
Scales are a wonderful aid for making delicious coffee more easily. Coffee is hard to brew well because there are so many variables to control (grind size, ratio of beans to water, water quality, water temperature, agitation, etc.), and scales let us keep many of those variables consistent.
Using scales can also give us the experience of others to add to our own. One person can say to another, "I like this Kathunguri with 20g of coffee and 340g of water, and I add the water in these amounts at these times." It's a recipe. We don't try to make chocolate chip cookies or spaghetti carbonara or pho with no prior instructions – why should we make coffee without prior instructions?
But how do we know that my 20g is the same as your 20g? How do we keep the scales consistent?
Every Acaia scale is hand calibrated at the factory, but once the scale leaves the factory we cannot control where or how the scale is used. Gravity is not the same all over the Earth, nor is the weather, and these are both things that affect how a scale measures weight. In order to standardize measurement and make our experience valid and communicable for each other, precision scales need to be calibrated. Often. We recommend at least once a week, with a daily check with the calibration weight.
We've had many customers ask us which calibration weights we recommend, and we had trouble finding weights we were confident in that were not incredibly expensive. So we made our own.
The Acaia 500g calibration weight is machined from stainless steel (for durability, so it stays 500g) and Acaia-certified as an F2 weight. To keep the weight safe and accurate, it comes with its own EVA foam travel case.
To calibrate your Acaia scale, simply start with the scale in weighing-only mode and press the T button six times in quick succession. The scale will prompt you for a calibration weight. Place the weight on the scale and wait until the scale says "End".
For the calibration to be most effective, calibrate the scale the same way you would use it. Calibration should occur in the place you will be using the scale. If you leave your scale on all day, make sure the scale has been on for 15 minutes before calibration. If you only turn on your scale in the morning to brew coffee, calibrate shortly after turning the scale on. Try to reproduce everything about how you will be using the scale normally.

Q: Why do we use default along with not null in database columns? Isn't it extra overhead?
When we mention default x (for example, alter table users add column id default 0 it is not gonna allow null at database level ) . So why use not null along with default in queries for a column?

A: A default clause is only applied when you don't reference the column when inserting, explicitly inserting (or updating) null to a column will still allow you to store null. Using a not null constraint prevents that.
So both clauses serve different purposes, and there is no overlap.
The SQL standard allows you to use DEFAULT instead of a value to explicitly assign the default value in an insert or update. Be aware though that not all DBMSes support this.

A: A DEFAULT value is useful when you don't want to always specify a value (especially when you have tables with 10+ columns, and a successful INSERT only requires a couple column's worth of data).  If you had a cars table with a has_steering_wheel column (which is t in most cases), you could rely on the DEFAULT instead of specifying the column every time you wanted to do an INSERT.  Basically, it saves you some keystrokes.
A NOT NULL constraint is useful when you need to require a value, and there should be no exceptions.  A typical example would be a color on a cars table.
To combine both DEFAULT and NOT NULL would be to require a value, and that value doesn't usually deviate from the standard.  An example would be a has_power_locks column on a cars table (typically the answer is t, and sometimes it could be f, but it should never be NULL -- unless your application is coded to handle NULL with either t or f).

The other week, Hotwire PR held an event to launch their latest report titled "The Changing Face of Influence" in association with market research company Vanson Bourne. Together they surveyed 1,000 B2B decision makers and explored their habits, preferred channels and the ways they make use of different sources of information to make purchasing decisions.
#1 Key Finding: Facebook is the primary social channel for B2B purchase research - but B2B marketers are still not investing in Facebook.
This really shows that social media has diluted the barriers between Facebook and LinkedIn as personal and professional channels. The launch of Facebook Work will certainly accelerate this divide and Facebook will likely increase its ownership as 'the' access point to Internet.
#2 Key Finding: Traditional media is as important as social media - third party testimony is key.
The research also shows that 89% of B2B decision makers surveyed believe it is easier to reference and qualify prospective vendors ahead of engaging the organisation directly. This finding highlights the importance of PR and content marketing for any organisation, as the buying process has drastically changed.
The immediacy and disposal nature of newer social channels really must be catered for by B2C and B2B marketers and they need to ensure the context and format match the channel.
Indeed, impartial comment or independent guidance on vendor choice is more powerful than a direct, unsolicited approach with little context. Data has a place but we trust people more for relevant referrals and reducing the risk in the decision making process.
An integrated, common sense approach to engaging consumers and businesses will remain an evergreen principal of any marketing and communications professional.
A single view of the customer is becoming increasingly important to account for personal tastes as well as business preferences.
Marketing teams will better align their B2C and B2B approaches. After all, a CEO has consumer and business choices to make but is the same person.
To download the full report, click here. I hope the trends shared above have helped reveal the potential of influence across social channels such as Facebook. Which trend or take away did you find to be the most compelling? Share a comment below and join the conversation.

If you've ever wanted to star in a period drama like Downton Abbey or see what Jane Austen's Georgian society novels are really all about, then your dreams could come true this weekend.
Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Council will once again host its Georgian Festival to celebrate the region's rich history.
Visitors will enjoy a variety of interesting and exciting Georgian-themed events and activities from November 22 – 25. Here's our top picks.
Armagh was recently crowned one of the top five foodie destinations in the whole of Ireland so of course the festival will celebrate the region's culinary credentials with a decadent banquet that defies all expectations. Guests will be transported to a Venetian Ball and enjoy a sumptuous, five-course meal reminiscent of an authentic 18th century menu from chef Simon Dougan and The Yellow Door. Court music will add to the atmosphere and entertainment can be expected throughout the night. Black tie optional but as we like to say when you're out, you're out.
Wrap up warm for this spine-chilling ghoulish night. Not for the faint-hearted, the tour will lead attendees along historic streets and haunted locations disturbed by souls of the past.
Guests will enjoy a guided tour of Armagh's finest properties, namely Crannagael House and Dean's Hill. These private residences are rarely opened to the public so this is a rare opportunity to meet the owners and learn more about the fascinating histories inside. Did someone say Instagram?
So yes, we know a library doesn't sound the most exciting venue but you haven't seen the stunning interior of this amazing, historic and still working library. On Thursday evening, the Robinson Library will showcase a collection of over 4,000 gems from the 18th century which had been left to the city. Tim Wilks, a professor in Cultural History, will lead the evening discussing the full catalogue. A must-see for both magpies and history lovers.
Fancy impressing loved ones and the postman this Christmas Card season? At this special event attendees will have the opportunity to learn how to recreate Georgian penmanship and perfect their letter writing and gifting skills.
The perfect experience for adding a touch of romance to a date, or sharing a special family moment, a stylish coach led by Georgian gentry will allow you to sit back, relax and take in the sights of the festival and tree-lined Georgian mall.
The Georgian legal system was harsh! Thieves and miscreants were all treated with downright disdain. Don't believe us? This immersive event actually allows you to serve on the jury and experience rough justice first hand.
And the best way to end a celebration? A tipple, of course! Discover the wines brought home from France, Italy and further afield by the region's explorers who travelled near and far throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. A brilliant opportunity to get together with friends or family and be treated like Georgian royalty.

A new customer signed up with Book A Table recently and yesterday was a pretty good day for them. By moving across to Book A Table, they have been able to enjoy all of the benefits of taking bookings online. You can imagine how busy the restaurant would have been with all of the enquiries and all of the bookings if 93 separate bookings were made in 1 day – with enquiries and bookings, it would have been easily Even better, the contact details for those customers are added automatically into the restaurants database to allow for easy marketing to each of those customers in the future.

Kadyrov's Takeover
There's an old anecdote about Chechnya that runs: "How soon after the withdrawal of Russian forces from the republic will Ramzan Kadyrov be killed?" The answer: "He will be killed several hours before the withdrawal."
Chechnya's Independence Of Sorts
Russia has declared an end to its antiterrorist operations in Chechnya. At least some Russian troops are expected to be withdrawn as a result. It's not clear, however, when the withdrawal will start and how many Russian servicemen will be pulled out.
The Meaning Of Chechnya's New 'Independence'
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's April 16 decree formally ending the counterterror operation in Chechnya is being touted as a major propaganda victory for Chechen Republic head Ramzan Kadyrov, and possibly even as heralding the republic's de facto independence from the Russian Federation. In fact, however, it will change very little on the ground.
Nalchik Indictment Rewrites Recent History
The prosecution at the trial of 58 young men charged with participating in the October 13, 2005, multiple attacks on police and security facilities in Nalchik, capital of the Kabardino-Balkaria Republic, has begun to read out the formal indictment against them. The document contains a number of factual errors.
Russia Lifts Security Regime In Chechnya
Russia lifted at midnight (2000 GMT) the tight security regime that has been in force in Chechnya for the past decade, ITAR-TASS news agency has quoted security officials as saying.
Moscow's Tactics In Chechnya Draw On Stalinist Legacy
Josef Stalin is dead, but his spirit lives on in Ramzan Kadyrov. The Chechen leader and his Kremlin backers seem to have closely studied Stalin's methodology: propaganda, information warfare, internments, mop-up operations, and the creation of a personality cult.
Officer Killed Demining Gas Pipeline In Daghestan
An explosion on the Mozdok-Kazimagomed natural-gas pipeline in the Russian republic of Daghestan has killed a local law enforcement officer.
Case Against Daghestan Journalists Sent To Court
Daghestan's Prosecutor Igor Tkachev endorsed on April 5 the criminal case against five staffers of the opposition newspaper "Chernovik" charged with inciting ethnic hatred, and the case has been sent to court, according to kavkaz-uzel.ru on April 8 and gazeta.ru on April 9. The accused all refused to sign the indictment.
Court In Adygeya Sentences Jordanian Citizen For Abetting Resistance
In a further indication of the extent to which the North Caucasus resistance has become internationalized and of the mobility of its members, a court in Adygeya has sentenced Fuad Saleh Maslamani, a 22-year-old citizen of Jordan -- presumably a Circassian -- on charges of joining an "illegal armed formation" in July 2008.
Kadyrov Backs Polygamy, Announces Putin's Sainthood
In a bizarre interview with a Russian state newspaper, Chechen strongman Ramzan Kadyrov praised Putin as the savior of Chechnya and called him "the most holy man."
Is Chechen Leader Losing Moscow's Trust?
Informed observers believe Moscow has finally realized that Ramzan Kadyrov constitutes both an embarrassment and a potential threat.
Dubai Open To International Probe Of Chechen Death
Dubai police have proposed an international probe into the shooting of a prominent Chechen exile, after Chechnya's leader dismissed accusations his top adviser was behind the assassination in the Persian Gulf emirate.
