Lots of big city folks are looking at alternative ways of living. One way is to completely sell the corporate 9 to 5 job with suburban home, and move the family to rural America (i.e. Iowa) to start your own farm! Sounds like a scene from a movie doesn't it? A scene where the mom and dad are swinging on the front porch while the kids frolic about the yard playing baseball and picking flowers.
As fun as it sounds, getting into traditional farming is a lot harder than it sounds. From first hand experience, when I took over my dad's farming operations, I never knew the complexity and know-how it takes to start farming. Now more than ever it takes having a lot of things in place in order to make this cultural and financial shift.
Leasing/Owning – so you want to move to a farm, huh? First off, you're going to need a place to raise your crops, so start looking early. If you want to buy (prior to moving), then expect to pay a hefty price right now! Recently, in Iowa I've seen some properties go for $14,500/acre! For a traditional quarter section (160 acres) of land that would cost you a measely $2.32 million!!!!
Equipment – since you're going to start "living off the land", then you're going to need to have equipment to plant, control weeds, and harvest. If you are just starting out look at buying used, and not jumping for the latest and greatest planter or 24 row combines!
Repairs – every good farmer MUST know how to repair their equipment. It starts with basic maintenance that includes oil changes, greasing, and filter replacement. A good place to start is the users manuals that come with every tractor, planter, disk, combine, or sprayer. My grandpa kept every tractor manual he had from 1940-present, because he always knew they'd be helpful someday since repairs are a given. Welding and manipulating iron is a must as you develop your repair skills. Over the long term this personal commodity will go a long way to help save your farming operations money.
Market Your Crop – like any job you need to make marketing you crop a top priority if you're are going to make farming your way a living. Look at what options you have both locally and remotely (greater than 50 miles away) to sell your grain. A lot of consumers are paying premiums for organic or non-genetically modified grains. Also another great tool to leverage is buying puts and calls (short and long selling) of your grain on the commodities boards and exchanges. This way you can lock in a guarenteed price on your grains (puts) or reown it through buying a call.
Lastly, realize that farming is a lot of hard work! It's not all roses, and there a lot of ups and downs that go with it. Farming can be a very stressful business and especially if it's your sole source of income. It's stressful, because there are so many highs and lows in grain prices and so much of your production is dependent on the weather. So going into this realizing a lot of variables are out of your hands.
Are you interested in farming? Are you thinking about making a switch from your normal suburban life? What's stopping you?
Great points Charlie! My family had a farm in Iowa and I can attest to it not being for everyone, heck it's not for me. ;) It is a lot of hard work and not for the faint of heart, but you have to wonder where we might be if more people went into farming and were successful with it.

Clinical Corner: Where Does Embracing Technology Fall within Your 2016 Infection Prevention Goals?
According to the respondents of the online survey, surveillance-related tasks required about 45% of their time and attention this past year. Approximately half of the respondents also stated that they do not foresee their tasks changing significantly in 2016. When queried about what the IPs believe to be the most important issues facing them for 2016, the two largest categories pertained to ensuring healthcare personnel compliance to IP practices, and keeping up with regulatory mandates.
In response to the survey question related to the most important issues facing the IP and hospital epidemiology community as a whole, top 3 concerns were: keeping up with evolving infection prevention imperatives, addressing antimicrobial resistance, and advancing patient safety/quality improvement.
Maybe it's because I work for a technology company or because I watched the Steve Jobs movie on Netflix over the holidays, but from my perspective, I believe that technology can play a significant role in each of these issues. Infection surveillance software enhances surveillance-related tasks, which can contribute to a decrease in data collection efforts and an increase in time for rounding and educational activities. With increased use of automated surveillance tools, a substantial reduction in surveillance-related tasks would be reflected in future surveys. Wouldn't it be great to report that only 10% of your time was spent on surveillance-related tasks?
Use of technology as a tool to alert the IP about increases in healthcare-associated infections or identification of MDRO clusters elicits immediate response with investigation into IP compliance issues or changes in protocols or products. Additionally, surveillance technology can play an integral role in antimicrobial stewardship as part of the evolving epidemiologic imperatives while streamlining reporting tasks relative to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' (CMS) pay-for-performance directive. Lastly, the use of technology can improve patient safety and quality by alerting to potential adverse events, patients in clinical demise, and opportunities to change treatment with better options.
So where does technology fall within the IPs perception of most important issues? Interestingly, respondents to the online survey placed mastering technology at only 3% of the most important issues facing the IP community in 2016. This low percentage concerns me given the benefits that technology provides and the continuing evolution of electronics and automation within healthcare. More effort and emphasis needs to be directed towards embracing technology to its fullest to advance patient safety in healthcare.
Does embracing technology fall within your 2016 goals? Submit your thoughts on the challenges of IP and technology or how you have embraced technology within your institution.

The effects of varied deposition conditions, including the use of argon, on thin-film silicon solar cells prepared using PECVD
L. J. Crudgington*, M. A. Rind, D. N. R. Payne, D. M. Bagnall
This paper reports the effects of varied deposition conditions on the resultant energy conversion efficiencies of thin-film silicon solar cells. Cells were deposited using an Oxford Instruments PlasmaLab System 100 on to Pilkington TEC-8 TCO glass, and thoroughly investigated using electrical methods. Thin film devices were fabricated using the decomposition of silane gas within a reaction chamber of 13.56 MHz plasma discharge. The deposition conditions, including substrate temperature, gas flow rates, RF power, chamber pressure, and film thickness are all explored to determine the optimum cell performance. A view toward high-efficiency solar structures, including heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer (HIT) and micro-morph cell designs using the same conditions is presented. 2014

While Bitcoin may be the granddaddy of digital coins, it has spawned hundreds of alternatives. Some of them are getting close to contesting Bitcoin, such as Ethereum, and some have real world application and tweaks, like Ripple, Litecoin, and Dash.
However, the ICO boom has spread to the ridiculous and the absurd, birthing a host of coins that are either a parody, a joke, or just downright pointless. However, the nature of ICOs and the hype for anything Blockchain-related has seen some of these ridiculous coins rack up a fair amount of value.
One of the more famous 'pointless' coins, Dogecoin is a meme coin based on doge, the Shiba Inu dog.

A true parody coin, Coinye was known as Coinye West, styled after the famous rapper, Kanye West. The cryptocurrency was quickly shut down in 2014 after West filed a cease-and-desist order, suing a large group of defendants for unspecified damages.
The lawsuit caused the coin's developers to change the appearance of the coin's logo to an even less flattering likeness of the rapper – styling it on South Park's interpretation of West.
The famous and enigmatic Russian President has spawned a following that extends to digital coin creators. Putin Coin has only been in existence since 2016, but it has managed to hit a market cap of $2.5 mln.

LONDON (REUTERS) - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson wrote to Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon on Tuesday (Jan 14), refusing her request to be given the powers to hold another Scottish independence referendum.
As things stand, a referendum cannot take place without the consent of the United Kingdom government.
Ms Sturgeon wrote to Mr Johnson in December asking him to enter negotiations on transferring the power to hold a referendum from London to Edinburgh.
"I cannot agree to any request for a transfer of power that would lead to further independence referendums," Mr Johnson wrote in a letter which he posted on Twitter, telling Ms Sturgeon she had agreed that a 2014 referendum, in which Scots opted to stay in the United Kingdom, would be a "once in a generation" vote.
"Another independence referendum would continue the political stagnation that Scotland has seen for the last decade... It is time that we all worked to bring the whole of the United Kingdom together."

La dorsale de Reykjanes est une dorsale constituant une portion de la dorsale médio-atlantique. Elle s'étire au sud-ouest de l'Islande et tient son nom de la ceinture volcanique de Reykjanes, sur la Reykjanesskagi, qui constitue la partie émergée de cette dorsale sous la forme d'un rift.

Cette partie émergée constitue un véritable musée géologique à ciel ouvert, ce qui explique qu'elle est intégrée au géoparc de Reykjanes.

Q: When is $\small \gcd(2n^7\!+1,{3n^3\!+2})>1,$ i.e. when is $\frac{2n^{7}+1}{3n^{3}+2}$ reducible? How can I ind the values of $n\in \mathbb{N}$  that make the fraction $\frac{2n^{7}+1}{3n^{3}+2}$ reducible ?
I don't know any ideas or hints how I solve this question.
I think we must be writte $2n^{7}+1=k(3n^{3}+2)$ with $k≠1$

A: I have a solution, but I'm sure there's a better way to do this.  The greatest common divisor $g$ of of $2n^7+1$ and $3n^3+2$ must also divide $$3(2n^7+1)-2n^4(3n^3+2)=3-4n^4$$ then $g$ must also divide $$4n(3n^3+2)-3(4n^4-3)=8n+9$$  Then $g$ must divide $$ 3n^4(8n+9)-8(3n^3+2)=27n^2-16$$
Continuing in this manner, we eventually find that $g$ must divide $1163$ which is prime.  So any solution satisfies $$3n^3+2\equiv0\pmod{1163}$$
The only solution to this is is $n\equiv435\pmod{1163}$ which I found with a python script, though I imagine there's a way to do it with a pencil.
It's easy to verify that also $2\cdot435^7+1\equiv0\pmod{1163}$, so the complete solution is $$n\equiv435\pmod{1163}.$$
EDIT
Daniel Wainfleet's answer shows the right way to find $435$.

A: Suppose $p$ is prime.
If $p$ divides $2n^7+1$ & $3n^3+2$
then $p$ divides $2(2n^7+1)-(3n^3+2)=n^3(4n^4-3)$
then $p$ divides $4n^4-3$ ( See Footnote )
then $p$ divides $2(4n^4-3)+3(3n^3+2)= n^3(8n+9)$
then $p$ divides $8n+9$ (See Footnote)
then $p$ divides $9(3n^3+2)-2(8n+9)=n(27n^2-16)$
then $p$ divides $27n^2-16$ (See Footnote)
then $p$ divides $9(27n^2-16)+16(8n+9)=n(243n+128)$
then $p$ divides $243n+128$ (See Footnote)
then $p$ divides $9(243n+128)-128(8n+9)=1163$
then $p=1163$ because $p$ and $1163$ are both prime
then $8n+9\equiv 0 \mod 1163$ so $n\equiv 435 \mod 1163$
So $\gcd (2n^7+1, 3n^3+2)>1\implies n\equiv 435 \mod 1163.$ And we may  verify  that $n\equiv 435 \mod 1163\implies 2n^7+1\equiv 3n^3+2\equiv 0 \mod 1163\implies \gcd (2n^7+1,3n^3+2)>1.$
Footnote. Suppose $A,B,C, D$ are integers with $A>0$ and $C>0,$ and  $p$ divides $n^A(Bn^C+D).$ Since $p$ is prime, $p$ divides $n^A$ or $p$ divides $Bn^C+D.$ Now if prime $p$ divides $n^A$ then $p$ divides $n$ and hence $p$ divides $2n^7$, BUT if $p$ also divides $2n^7+1$ then the prime $p>1$ divides $(2n^7+1)-(2n^7)=1,$ which is absurd. So instead, $p$ must divide $Bn^C+D.$

A: Let $d = \gcd(2n^7+1, 3n^3+2)$. Then since $2n^7+1 \ | \ 2^3n^{21}+1$ and $3n^3 + 2 \ | \ 3^7n^{21}+2^7$, we must have $$d \ | \ 3^7(2^3n^{21}+1) - 2^3(3^7n^{21}+2^7) \quad\Rightarrow\quad d \ | \ 1163.$$
Since $1163$ is a prime, if the fraction is reducible, $1163 \ | \ 3n^3 + 2$. Since $1163 \equiv 2 \pmod 3$, $n^3 \equiv -2\cdot 3^{-1} \equiv 587 \pmod{1163}$ has one unique solution modulo $1163$.
Fermat's little theorem tells you that $n \equiv n^{1163} \equiv n^{2325} \equiv n^{3\times 775}\pmod{1163}$. So the answer should be $n \equiv 587^{775} \pmod{1163}$.
This is hard to solve by hand, so if you believe saulspatz's computation that $n \equiv 435 \pmod{1163}$, that is all the possible solutions.

A: This gcd is computable purely mechanically by a slight generalization of the Euclidean algorithm which allows us to scale by integers $\,c\,$ coprime to the gcd during the modular reduction step, i.e.
$$\bbox[8px,border:2px solid #c00]{(a,b)\, = \,(a,\,cb\bmod a)\ \ \ {\rm if}\ \ \ (a,c) = 1}\qquad\qquad  $$
which is true since $\,(a,c)= 1\,\Rightarrow\, (a,\,cb\bmod a) = (a,cb)  = (a,b)\ $ by Euclid. When computing the gcd of polynomials $\,f(n),g(n)$ with integer coef's, we can use such scalings to force the lead coef of the dividend to be divisible by the lead coef of the divisor, which enables the division to be performed with integer (vs. fraction) arithmetic. Let's do that in the example at hand (but you may find it helpful to first study  the simpler examples here and here).
$\!\begin{align}{\rm{This\,\ yields}\!: \ \ \ }(3n^3\!+2,\,2n^7\!+1) &\,=\, (3n^3\!+2,\,\color{#0a0}{8n+9})\ \ \ {\rm by}\ [\![1]\!]\ \text{ below,  $\,c = 3^2$}\\[.4em]
&\,=\, (\color{#90f}{-1163},\ \  8n+9)\ \ \ {\rm by}\, [\![2]\!]\ \text{ below,  $\,c = 8^3$}\end{align}$
$\!\!\!\begin{align}
&\bmod\:\! \color{#c00}{3n^3\!+2}^{\phantom{|^{|^|}}}\!\!\!\!\!:\,\  3^2(2n^7\!+1)\equiv 2n(\color{#c00}{3n^3})^2\!+9\,\equiv\, \color{#0a0}{8n+9},\, \ {\rm by}\ \ \color{#c00}{3n^3\equiv -2}\,\qquad [\![1]\!]\\[.4em]
&\bmod\:\! \color{#0a0}{8n+9}\!:\ \   8^3(3n^3\!+2)\equiv 3(\color{#0a0}{8n})^3\!+ 2(8^3) \equiv  \color{#90f}{-1163},\ \ {\rm by}\ \ \color{#0a0}{8n\,\equiv \,-9}\:\!\qquad[\![2]\!] \end{align}$
So the gcd $\!=\! (1163,8n\!+\!9)\! >\! 1\! \iff\!$ prime $p\! =\! 1163\mid 8n\!+\!9\!$ $\iff\! \bbox[5px,border:1px solid #0a0]{n\equiv \color{90f}{435}\pmod{\!p}}\,$ by
$\!\!\bmod 1163\!:\,\ n\equiv\dfrac{\!\!-9}8\!\equiv 3\left[\dfrac{-3}8\right] \equiv 3\left[\dfrac{1160}8\right]\equiv 3[145]\equiv 435.\ \ $ [See here for 5 more ways]
Remark $ $ Above $\,k \bmod a\,$ denotes some "simpler" $k'$ such that $\,k'\equiv k\pmod{\!a},\,$ not necessarily the least nonnegative such value. Here we are "simplifying" by reducing the degree in $\,n,\,$ i.e. essentially using the Euclidean algorithm for polynomials (the scaling by $\,c\,$ corresponds to a fraction-free form of the algorithm using the Nonmonic Division Algorithm).

A: The extended euclidean algorithm for gcd (of polynomials with rational coefficients) also tells us that
 $$  \left(  2 x^{7}  + 1 \right)  \left(   { 1728 x^{2}  - 1944 x  + 2187 }  \right)  -  \left(  3 x^{3}  + 2 \right)  \left(   { 1152 x^{6}  - 1296 x^{5}  + 1458 x^{4}  - 768 x^{3}  + 864 x^{2}  - 972 x  + 512 }  \right)  = 1163 $$

FRESH PROBE
Madeleine McCann suspect Christian B faces new investigation as cops reopen Portugal child sex crime case
Tariq Tahir

Updated: Sep 21 2020, 19:54 ET
COPS have reopened an investigation into a child sex crime linked to the Madeleine McCann prime suspect.
Christian B, 43, was arrested in Portugal for allegedly exposing himself to children in a playground near Praia da Luz, where Madeleine disappeared.

He was caught with his trousers down under a slide in San Bartolomeu de Messines, which is 40 miles from the Algarve resort.
But the convicted paedophile and rapist was extradited back to his native Germany for child sex crimes before he could be charged and the investigation was sidelined.
Portuguese officials have now confirmed the inquiry had been reopened following criticism, the Mirror reports.
"The investigation is currently ongoing," said a spokesman for the the Attorney General's office.
Christian B was first convicted aged just 17 in Bavaria in 1994 for "abusing a child" and "performing sex acts in front of a child".
Madeleine was three when she disappearedCredit: AP:Associated Press
Earlier this year he was named as the prime suspect in the disappearance of three-year-old Madeleine, who was on holiday with her parents in 2007 when she vanished.
He was living in a campervan nearby at the time and had a long history of committing sex offences.
In 1994, the Würzburg district court sentenced the then 17-year-old to two years, of which he served only part, and moved to northern Germany, dealing drugs and stealing.
Sources said police were not aware of his 1994 conviction for child sex abuse when he was arrested in 2017.
Prosecutors have "a different understanding" of Christian B "than they did three or four years ago," said a source.
The mum of eight-year-old - who Christian B exposed himself to - told Portuguese TV broadcaster RTP: "If he had snatched one of the children and put them in his van, we might never have seen them again.
"He could have gone anywhere. It's still something that haunts me. I was left feeling very frightened. I think we were very lucky."
Nelia Bras, mum of one of the youngsters Christian B allegedly pleasured himself in front of, added: "My daughter was eight at the time. He spoke to her in English and asked her, 'What's your name?'
"It's very traumatic knowing that someone who's been linked to so many cases and is perhaps a very dangerous man was so close to my little girl".
After fleeing to Portugal in 1995, Christian B was extradited back to Germany the following year to serve a youth sentence but returned to the Algarve after his release.
He left Portugal again in 2007 and is thought to have spent the next few years between there and Germany.

From the DVD Bin: Rob Zombie's Halloween
ByPat Emmel
Oct 31, 2017 film, halloween, horror, michael myers, reboot, remake, review, rob zombie, slasher, the shape
Dimension Films
Five years after the Halloween franchise seemed to have been put to rest with Halloween: Resurrection, Rob Zombie comes on board to re-envision the boy behind the bogeyman that is Michael Myers in the 2007 reboot/remake of Halloween. Was it good, or would it have been better if Michael Myers was never resurrected… again. Let's break Rob Zombie's Halloween down.
Movie: Halloween (2007)
Plot: A young boy goes off the deep end in a stereotypical fashion as a product of his environment, killing most of his family. When he grows up, he decides he wants to visit the baby sister that he kept safe from his wrath, leaving a pile of bodies in his wake.
Killer: Michael Myers, of course. At least Rob Zombie kept the bogeyman's name the same.
Critique: Rob Zombie's Halloween runs into the conflict that so many reboots/remakes/re-whatevers find themselves in: making a good film by its own merit while appeasing fans of the original. It's a tough gauntlet for a film, with few hitting on either of those goals and even fewer hitting on both. So Rob Zombie can at least rest easy knowing that he succeeded in making a decent horror film. As far as it being a good film in the Halloween franchise, well, that's another matter.
What is interesting in the Halloween reboot is how Michael Myers is portrayed in the psychological theory of nurture versus nature. In the original Halloween, Michael Myers kills his sister without any warning. We don't know what his life was like or how he was treated, but the feeling the film gives is that he had a normal, happy childhood until he decided to kill his older sister and then waited for years to escape a mental institution to hunt his younger sister. Rob Zombie gives Michael Myers a reason: he came from a broken family with a stripper for a mother and a dead-beat mother's boyfriend, was bullied in school, and who knows what else. He was nurtured to go bad. It's just not as scary when there is a reason.
At the same time, the Halloween reboot gives Michael Myers a speck of humanity so that we can feel sorry for him. He may kill most of his family, causing his mother to then commit suicide, but Michael still has a soft spot for his baby sister, Laurie. When he breaks out of the mental hospital, it isn't to hunt her down. It is to find her, the only person he cares about. When Laurie stabs Michael at his most vulnerable, who knows what it unleashes? I guess we'll see in Rob Zombie's Halloween 2.
Scene of Awesomeness/Ridiculousness: The glasses ghost homage is the perfect depiction of what this film is: a retelling using the same physical elements, but just not enough to make it special.
Body Count: 23 (and multiple animals)
1 rat vaguely stabbed
1 beating to death with a tree branch
2 throats slit
1 head bashed in with an aluminum bat
7 stabbings
1 fork to the neck
1 off-camera gun suicide
1 beaten to death with a chain
1 head bashed into a wall
1 jugular ripped out by hand
2 vague, bloody deaths off-camera
1 crushed by a TV set
1 choke
1 neck snapped (guessing)
1 skull crushed by hand
3 pairs of breasts
Actors/Actresses of Note: The Halloween reboot may lack in franchise appeal, but the film sure doesn't lack in the casting department. Besides the usual Rob Zombie film suspects like Sheri Moon Zombie, Bill Moseley, and Sid Haig, the film also features Malcolm McDowell, Brad Dourif, William Forsythe, Richard Lynch, Udo Kier, Danny Trejo, Clint Howard, Sybil Danning, and even Danielle Harris returning to the franchise, albeit as a much different character.

Interactions between species: How is the bond between humans and dogs generated?
Pets are an important part of many people's lives, it would not be risky to claim that we all know at least one person who has a cat, a dog or some type of rodent. These interactions are so important that the bond between people and their pets has generated study interest.
Could it be that our beloved pet would come to our rescue? With this question in mind, many of us have tried to simulate these situations resulting in a sometimes exacerbated response from the pet or a cold, harsh and calculating indifference. In a study developed at Arizona State University's School of Psychology, they proposed the same experiment and tested the reaction of pets to a "life or death" situation for their human companion and where their pet can rescue them.
In this sense, we do not really know who is smarter, whether our pets to interpret the situation or us to create it, however, the researchers used a paradigm or study model that has been part of other research, but applied to mice or rats. This paradigm corresponds to that of social liberation, in which the time it takes to activate prosocial behavior is basically quantified, or of help without self-interest, where an individual releases another animal that is usually in a cage.
Study the behavior of dogs
While, to this day, there is discussion about how to improve methods for studying behavior, this methodology has been widely applied, but not to other canine or human study models. Researchers use this paradigm to analyze what are the most important keys for a dog to identify a situation as dangerous to its master. Basically, they lock people inside boxes and according to the instructions they receive they perform an action, whether it is screaming in fear, reading a book or being calm, and you can see how their dog, who is nearby and not locked up, acts in response.
The researchers first evaluated different pets and detected those dogs that could open the cage, these being the majority. Once they knew which animals could naturally carry out the activity, they measured the time it took for the dog to approach the box to release its master in the different situations. Analyzing these results shows us that the level of stress shown by their masters influenced the speed with which the dogs acted, but much more interesting is that as the repetitions increased, the response time of the dogs increased in the case of a stressed master and decreased if the master was reading, something like the story of "Pedrito y el lobo" but in this case the one who detects the lie is the dog.
These results tell us that dogs are able to integrate information from previous rescues, they can act accordingly and that they also have their own curiosity to check their master without the need for a problem, something quite known to all those who have been in contact with them.
While the researchers could already be happy to show that this method of study could be applied to study other animals, they wanted to go further and wondered, What is more important for the dog? Your master or food at your disposal. This was the second step of the study and in this case we must feel deceived by our peers. While a significant group of dogs first approached the cage where their master was locked up, showing true prosocial behavior, most pets decided to go see the food, without necessarily eating it, but it was more than enough for the researchers to consider food to be an important factor in deciding whether to execute the rescue or not.
What we can stay with from this study is that dogs are able to rescue their owners without explicit training and are able to detect the emotions of their masters in a disinterested way, as long as there is no food in sight. This is one more element to analyze the relationship that exists between pet, human and food, since not only could they rescue us, but this relationship also generates long-term effects on their owners.
A positive bond
Recent studies indicate that having a pet as a company and being able to pet it generates very positive effects in people who are subjected to constant stress, such as students at exam time, generating an improvement in their stress response. But this is not the only effect that caring for an animal would have. While there is a saying that "perhaps, saving an animal will not change the world, but the life of that animal will," recent studies would indicate that it is possible that we are saving ourselves in the act.
In this line, a study this year also mentions that, at the time of rescuing an animal, the relationship that is generated nourishes both the animal and the human, increasing the levels of resilience in the latter, an effect that would be observable in the long term. The researchers of this collaboration between the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana of Colombia and the Lewis and Clark College of the United States, tell us about an autopoietic unit that evolves together with its participants and that rescuing an animal, whatever it may be, also saves us.
This concept refers to the idea that living beings believe in the act of existing (from the Greek auto: to himself, and poiesis: creation), but this concept can not only be applied to life, but to systems as diverse as metabolic networks or the relationship that exists between two living beings that interact actively and mutually, with its own system of not necessarily explicit rules; something like when we look at our dog and only by his eyes we already know that he is looking at our food and wants to make us feel guilty. But this type of relationship with traumatized animals or those that require help first generates an improvement in the life of the animal in question, but that same impact and progress generates a change in the person who helps, is no longer the same, product of their action. I do not know, if this point is remarkable for some people, but it would be telling us that it is much better to save an abandoned animal, despite the fact that it has little life left, than to take the option of buying one.
It is possible that advances in methodologies show us more information about our link with the animals that accompany us and that perhaps it is better that as a species we think about the effect we have on other lives, since, although the focus of these studies have been companion animals or injured wild animals, our interactions go further and we need to think about the effects of our actions not only for ourselves, but with all of us who share the planet.

A Social Justice Hall of Fame by Peter Dreier
100 Greatest Americans of the 20th Century
Images of Social Justice
A hundred years ago any soapbox orator who called for women's suffrage, a federal minimum wage, or laws protecting the environment would have been considered a utopian dreamer or a dangerous socialist. Now we take these ideas for granted. The radical ideas of one generation often become common sense for the next. We all stand on the shoulders of earlier generations of organizers, activists, writers, artists, and progressive politicians who challenged the status quo of their day. The 100 Greatest Americans of the 20th Century is a deeply informed, colorful and witty history of the 20th century progressive leaders and movements that changed history. It also explores the new generation of 21st century activists who are shaping our future to promote a more humane, democratic, and just society.
Read what people are saying about The 100 Greatest Americans.

I feel for Peter. His impassioned clear and consice wake up call is falling on deaf ears. May be we deserve this as we ourselves have not bothered to determine what is going on as long as the show goes on.. This is not a new catastrophe but one which has been predicted during the last couple of years and we are stupid enough to not heed the signs. The best example being non of the three auto CEO's had a clue as to what to do with the money if they got it ,, its there so they want a part of it .. looked like a bunch of school boys asking for cake at a party.. WAKE UP – MAKE EDUCATION FREE AND MANDATORY – FREEDOM COMES WITH RESPONSIBILITY AND WE HAVE LACKED AT IT SINCE A LONG TIME.. GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Software quality addressed the conformance to explicitly stated functional and performance requirements, documented standards, and implicit characteristics.
Software quality assurance (SQA) intends of monitoring the software engineering processes and methods that ensure quality from the end-user perspective. There are several different methods by which this is accomplished, and may include controlling conformance to one or more standards, such as ISO 9000 or a model such as CMMI. Software quality assurance covers the entire software development process, which includes processes such as requirements analysis, software design, coding, code reviews, source code control/ software configuration management, software testing, release management, and product integration. Quality assurance is organized into activities, goals, commitments, measurements, and verifications.
Correctness – does it do what I want?
Efficiency – will it run at a desirable speed on my hardware to achieve the business objective?
Reliability – does it do it accurately under different conditions over a period of time?
Usability – is it designed for the end user?
Portability – will I be able to use it on another machine?
Reusability – will I be able to reuse some of the software?
Interoperability – will I be able to interface it with another system?
The main objective of software quality assurance is to control the products, processes and procedures used to produce and sustain the software conform to all software requirements and standards specified to govern those products, processes and procedures. A secondary objective of software quality assurance is to ensure that the software-intensive systems we develop are more secure.
Software quality assurance constitutes administrative and procedural activities enforced in a software quality system so that requirements and goals for a product, service or activity will be fulfilled. It is the systematic measurement, monitoring of processes, comparison with a standard and an associated feedback loop that confers error prevention. This can be contrasted with quality control, which is focused on process output.
Desirable quality is determined by product end-users or customers. It is not linked to cost, and descriptors or adjectives such as "poor" and "high" are not applicable. For example, a product having low priced may be viewed as having high quality because it is disposable, whereas another product may be viewed as having poor quality because it is not disposable.
Mobile Application Testing is a process by which software application developed for mobile devices is tested for its functionality, usability and consistency. Mobile application testing can be automated or manual type of testing.
Milend's dedicated Software Quality Assurance (SQA) practice offers a full spectrum of testing services to organizations creating software products and business applications on different platforms. Milend QA delivers a combination of state-of-the-art testing technologies and frameworks along with solid technical competence. Our SQA team has expertise in diverse testing types, including functional, performance, reliability and maintainability, enabling us to deliver genuinely comprehensive Software Quality Assurance service.

New Clip From Psychological Thriller 'Desordres' (Isaach De Bankolé, Sonia Rolland Star)
The psychological thriller is titled Désordres (Chaos), and it stars Isaach De Bankolé and French-Rwandan actress Sonia Rolland, as history professor Vincent and his wife Marie,
who have just moved from Paris (with their son) to a farm near a small
town in the south of France, looking forward to a quieter life. Marie, a
retired renowned international pianist unwillingly follows her husband.
However, their hopes for a serene escape is disrupted from the very
beginning, when Thibaut, one of Vincent's students (played by Niels Schneider), invades their family getaway, and slowly, but surely, the couple starts to come apart.
The film is directed by Étienne Faure.
The film will open on April 17th in France. No
word on what other territories exactly it can be expected to be
Let's hope it heads west to the USA! Maybe a local film festival will pick it up.
A brand new clip has been released and it's embedded below. It's not subtitled, but there's very little dialogue in it anyway; the images tell the tale…

Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the complexities and tensions that international organisations face in managing ethics. Design/methodology/approach – Three levels of ethics are identified and discussed in the paper in the context of three international strategies. Findings – The study finds that an organisation's approach to ethics depends on its level of ethics and the type of international strategy adopted. These two dimensions have the potential to create identifiable tensions between head office and subsidiaries that will need to be understood and managed. Practical implications – The paper offers practical guidance to managers by providing a framework for better understanding the tensions and challenges faced by head office and subsidiaries when operating in international markets. Hence, it makes explicit an aspect of strategic management that may not be obvious, but that could influence the organisation's ability to achieve its strategic goals. Originality/value – This paper extends previous research on ethics and international business by proposing that an organisation's approach to ethics depends on the level of ethics at which it operates and the type of strategy it has adopted.


Christina, Gary and Linda (not pictured) break in the new "box"
I'd make the WOD but I've got a CubScout campout this coming weekend. Maybe next time!
Superb effort on everyones part. Now we have all jumped back in the pool all you gotta do is paddle.
Had a hard time getting around this weekend, but I'll be back for some more pain on Tuesday morning.
Ouch! Arms ok, but legs are sore. Lunges are not my friend. Thanks for a great workout Matt. I will remember to bring some water next time.


Whereas Mr. Brennan's assertion is true, many latest information items and journal articles have noted that Individuals on common should not saving sufficient. And plenty of of those who are saving and investing aren't doing an excellent job of it. Investing is not rocket science, but whereas understanding the appropriate technique to go about it's one factor, really doing it proper could also be quite another. Mr. Nwiro, Do you think if there are as many roles we've in other half og the world that some nigerians can be doing rip-off? What concerning the politicians from nigeria who loot billions of dollars of public fund and maintain them in europe and some purchase houses within the usa and asia..have you even make a compliement for western government to cease receiving these fund? There are higher situation to deal with and not this because the cure to SCAM in africa is gainful employment…so tell ur brothers in government to cease looting public fund and for u to have those claimed paperwork u will need to have benefited from proceeds from scam b4!
Investing transactions are these that are not a part of day by day operation of the company and are used solely for investing purposes. Small term investments would be thought of clearly, but any loans made to customers or different entities would even be thought of an investing transaction. Dividends and curiosity earned on investments would additionally qualify below the investing category for Statement of Money Flows. Purchases of long run investments such as land, gear or property may also be viewed as an funding.
Just chewing over depreciation and wondering if that too might be moved out of operational # and into the ultimate part when looking at selling the enterprise? Within the offline world depreciation would really like embody the automobile fleet, workplace fit out, machinery, and many others. Whereas in an internet enterprise the asset being depreciated might be more likely to be something smaller and more personal (my automobile, fit out my residence office, and so forth) and this asset won't be transferred to the new owner.
Global power and competitiveness: The Company's products have been recognized for his or her quality and the company is known for meeting customer-particular wants. Because of this, it has attracted quite a few shoppers together with companies and authorities businesses and its aggressive place is kind of favorable. GE is the most important lender in lots of the international locations where it invests with exception of the United States (Hurbert, 2007). Its power technology tools generates a quarter of the world's electricity everyday.
Financial statements are important experiences. They show how a enterprise is doing and are very helpful internally for an organization's stockholders and to its board of directors, its managers and some workers, together with labor unions. Externally, they're essential to potential buyers, to government businesses accountable for taxing and regulating, to lenders corresponding to banks and credit rating agencies, and to funding analysts and stockbrokers.
