The ability to demonstrate logical thinking to have the ability to collect and examine a variety of information is the absolute necessity in the finance area. In addition to this technical demand for programmers in almost every company, programming abilities demonstrate advanced problem solving abilities which may donate to some well-rounded professional. Look throughout the job description and see whether any soft abilities are cited. When it's to do with dividing abilities into classes, you will find two types of skillshard and soft.
If you're searching to get a job in which you aren't component of the administrative team or whether you aren't applying for a clerical job, consider describing your technology abilities in a manner that doesn't seem just like you're an accountant seeking to find a secretarial position. If you're asking for work at a very cultural region and you also 're bilingual, you currently have a skill that's helpful to the job and ought to make that clear in your resume. Instead, you should tailor your resume for every job that you apply for. When you're searching for a new project, it's crucial that you understand whether you've got the kinds of abilities required to deal with the position. Don't listing each and every technology you used on each job. In fact, there are specific jobs where it's important to place an art section at or near the top of the restart. If you wish to relocate for work, you most likely already understand it's perfect to leave your present address off your resume.
A laundry list of previous expertise is no more a valid manifestation of competencies required for employers to decide on the perfect candidate for the job. Your own personal information is usually the very first item in your resume. Last but not the least, you've got to ensure you highlight the main info on your own. Unprofessional e-mail addresses are just one way of sending hiring managers the incorrect message.
Communication abilities refer to the capability to convey data in a very clear and understandable fashion, the ability to engage with various people and personalities and also the capacity to listen to and understand what others are saying. For instance, if you love performing improv, that skill is many situations each foundation for great sales skills. There are a few abilities which is going to be totally crucial for any successful candidate. Soft skills, on the reverse side, are less concrete and more difficult to quantify, such as getting along with others, managing your time, creative thinking and also the capacity to lead. On the reverse side, gentle skills, also known as interpersonal or social skills, are those which you've got as private qualities or you undergo professional experiences. To start out with, if you're seeing a lot of hard skills which you don't have, it may be better to proceed to the next place. Nevertheless, it's important to get some easy math skills so that you may understand if something isn't correct.
The skill section may be the most significant section in your resume if you place it together properly. The skills section is not any different. In fact, it may be appropriate to integrate a more notable core competencies section at the summit of your resume with comprehensive descriptions of particular skills if they're absolutely central to victory in the desirable place.
Your resume has an objective rather than an expert summary Objective statements explain your requirements, rather than how you are going to fulfill the requirements of a company. Resumes are critical tools in almost any work hunt only because they represent the very first thing that an employer sees regarding a potential worker. Utilize your judgment, and as always, you always have to prepare many resumes for all assortments of companies.
Bear in mind, your resume should always highlight the abilities, expertise, and accomplishments which are most relevant to your job objectives. While much less crucial as other skills, it might help have some understanding of this product a company sells. In case you don't have enough work experience to fill a complete page. Your previous work experience can help you as a resume qualification in the event you have some expertise that's in any way very much like this job which you are applying for. More often than not, the knowledge which you've got from older jobs is obsolete, and you also wish to showcase your skills on the latest software. It's 's important to show you are in possession of a well-rounded understanding of different tools and may analyze several data types.
Your leadership abilities will certainly turn heads. They're also able to demonstrate expert flexibility and development potential, which can be beneficial irrespective of the position. They are only beneficial when they're utilized by those having the psychological proficiency to use them efficiently. Your personal skills which are pertinent to this job at hand has to be said, since they aren't automatically obvious from a number of other work and schooling listings in your resume.

As evidence mounts that multivitamins provide no nutritional benefit, it's time to forget the 'daily dose.' Instead, turn to these 15 supplements and think of your medicine cabinet as your toolbox, taking only what you need.
A lot of people start their days by popping a multivitamin.
Unfortunately, there's more than enough evidence to show that these "multis" provide absolutely no nutritional benefit. There's even compelling research that shows they can even do harm to your body. It's also very confusing since every supplement has different ratios of various vitamins which don't take into account an individual's diet or biological makeup. They tend to contain fillers like magnesium stearate, which you might think is a form of the mineral magnesium, when in fact it is an industrial lubricant, meant to keep the pills from sticking to machinery (and has been shown to reduce immune function).
Truth it, there are very few supplements that you should be taking every day.
In fact, when you see RDA values for various vitamins and minerals on a package, you might think that stands for Recommended Daily Amounts, when in actuality, its Recommended Dietary Amounts.
So if you want to take supplements, you need to think of your medicine cabinet as a toolbox, where you use what you need, when you need it, and throw out the idea of a daily dose.
1. Probiotics—A lot of diseases of the industrialized worlds (like my personal favorite, Crohn's Disease) are thought to be a result of our hyperclean environment with hand sanitizer stations around every corner. Probiotics are the beneficial bacteria that help regulate our digestion, strengthen our immune system and maintain sanity. Unless you are eating fermented foods like sauerkraut, natto, or kefir on a daily basis you should take a probiotic most days and double if you are taking antibiotics.
2. Vitamin D3—Most of you reading this are probably vitamin D deficient if you wear clothes and work indoors. In addition, if you're diet doesn't contain adequate amounts of fat then you won't be able to properly process vitamin D (as well as A, E and K). Most people should be taking around 5,000 IU per day unless you get to spend a good amount of time outside and in the sun. Even those people should take some during the winter months. One more thing, take it in the morning otherwise it can disrupt your sleep since vitamin D and melatonin are inversely related.
3. Krill Oil - Krill Oil, like fish oils can help fight inflammation and lower cholesterol. In tests Krill seems to be better absorbed by the body so you'll tend to get more bang for your buck and added benefits such as blood sugar regulation and even possible fat loss.
4. Astaxanthin—The red pigment in salmon and a major skin protectant thought to aid in eye health and inflammation, I take this carotenoid mostly in the winter months when my skin tends to get dryer as the lips in Astaxanthin appear to help maintain elasticity.
5. Phenocane—Nature's Tylenol, Phenocane's main ingredient is Curcurmin with a couple added friends that make this an incredibly powerful anti inflammatory and pain killer.
6. Oil of Oregano Capsules—Oil of Oregano (different plant from the stuff on your pizza) contains Carvacrol, an incredibly potent bacteria killer. I take this anytime I travel, am exposed to people I know are sick, or feel a cold coming on.
7. Oil of Oregano Liquid—in liquid form this stuff is really powerful and will burn a little but a couple drops in a glass of water gargled for a minute will stop a sore throat or sinus infection dead in its tracks.
8. Goat Colostrum—colostrum is the first two or three days of breast milk and contain the building blocks for a strong immune system and health body. Goats milk is the closest equivalent to human breast milk and I always take these in combination with oil of oregano capsules.
9. Xylitol Nasal Spray - xylitol is a sugar alcohol and has antibacterial properties. As a nasal spray it keeps the passages moist and bacteria free, ideal for travel or ducted heating systems.
10. MCT Oil - Medium Chain Triglycerides are the fat transport mechanisms you get when you put coconut oil in a centrifuge. It's an odorless, tasteless oil that provides an immediate source of ketones (fat energy) to you blood stream and will actually help your cognitive function. I use it in salad dressings or yogurt when I want to up the fat content without adding any taste. If I've had a rough night with the kids I'll add it along with so we grass fed butter to my coffee for a nice cup of Bulletproof Coffee(TM).
11. Digestech—We have different enzymes to help us digest fats, carbs, and protein. Digestech capsules contain those and then some. They help me digest large meals and extract more nutrition from the foods I eat.
12. Activated Charcoal Capsules—sometimes you eat or drink something and wish you hadn't. Don't panic about the toxins mounting an attack against your body. Just pop a couple capsules of activated charcoal and let natures Brita filter (which actually contains charcoal) trap those toxins and take them out of your body.
13. Alpha Brain - Nootropics are substances which increase cognitive performance. On the pharmaceutical side think Adderall or Modafinil. I'm not one for taking drugs so I turn to Alpha Brain, which contains 11 natural, well studied compounds that will increase focus and memory while offering neuroprotective anti stressors. You can use this daily but I use it when I know I've got a big day or meetings or a client engagement ahead of me to help me break through some inner barriers. This won't turn you into an Einstein, but if you know the answer to the question is inside you somewhere, this might help you find it.
14. Collagen and Whey Protein Powder—Unless you are a bodybuilder or trying to experiment with eating only specific amounts of protein, most people do not need to supplement with protein. Sometimes I'll do a protein fast for a day or two where I'm limiting protein to 50 grams or less and the easiest way to do that is to eat a whole bunch of veggies and then have a serving of protein power. The two forms are pretty similar but the nice added benefit of collagen powder is that it's heat stable so you can add it to your coffee if you want.
15. Greens Powder - I try to eat lots of dark leafy greens in my diets but somedays are more difficult than others. A green powder mix like Powerfood from Onnit acts like a dietary insurance policy and gives me things I might never get otherwise like camu for antioxidants or olive leaf for internal cleansing.
That's what I use—but how about you? Tell me what supplements are in your medicine cabinet in the comments below.


The child in me@ Rail museum, Mysore.
The Rail Museum, Mysore is the 2nd of such kind in India. Later almost in every major city, they started them. However, Rail museum in Hyderabad has nothing much to offer. So we decided to visit this when we were left with few hours before train and almost finished every possible place in Mysore, we decided to visit this place.
The exhibits of railcar and Maharani's carriage were the most interesting things which lured me.
It was a busy Monday morning. As it turns out, we were the only visitors and the place looked neglected by tourists. We were received gladly and were allowed to do whatever we wanted with the exhibits. As usual we played like kids and clicked lot of pictures.
Me in the bollywood style pose… This was the back of the inspection car which is now used as a ticket counter.
Bus car, it has only one coach with seats.. Driver and conductor will be there. You can ask the driver to stop wherever you want. Heard these are still running in some parts of Andhra Pradesh.
Maharani's couch..It has a kitchen with attached bathroom, writing table, wardrobe and dressing table; a maid's room and kitchen. Sad they did not allow anyone inside.
I traveled on this wonderful line.. Read the full story here .
There is also a small children play area in the museum. No canteen or anything related to food. Kids will love this place. (I can assure you as I am one and I am living with one).

Besides a big range of technical services which assist to design applications and software, there are less complicated but very useful techniques which can help you create a totally polished product.
Starting creating an app you don't begin writing a code at once. You may think over the idea of your future product, why it may be useful for people and how to make them choose yours of all the others.
How to find out whom we create our app for?
Having an idea to create an application or a website you must imagine who is going to use it. This is probably one of the most important steps in your development process. The better you understand who your potential clients are, the better services you can provide them with.
Personas are a very valuable instrument to plan your future product design. Alan Cooper was the first who started implementing this technique in web development. So what does this term mean?
Persona is an archetype of a suppositional client which is used to make a decision about the main characteristics of the service, the navigation, interaction with the application or a website and it's visual part, the idea of the future product design. Having studied the behaviour and favors of your personas, you can tailor an app or a site to deliver customers value to a wider group of people within this archetype. This idea was provided by Kim Goodwin, the co-author of implementing personas in the software design process.
Marketing persona represents average demographic data about a certain group of people who are supposed to be your clients. This kind of persona is good to analyze for better understanding who can be interested in particular services or products. But it is not used on studying the user experience.
Design persona provides with an understanding of your customers' goals, their habits, behaviour and expectations for the future app or website quality and how they are going to use it for their needs.
Proto-persona is usually based on third-party researchers and is used in case of lack of financial or time resources to make more detailed analyses. It's not very desirable to rely on this type of persona developing your app but is still better than to make your designers guess, whose needs they should satisfy.
Serve as the main user group for your site or an application.
Provide with a clear understanding of the customers' expectations and requirements to your product.
Aid in discovering the common characteristics and functionality for your development process.
Display information based on real people's research.
What are the benefits of using personas for the team and its workflow?
Shareholders and product owners can come up with new ideas about the product.
Designers get much better understanding of the style and approach to use for the app development.
System architects and developers can understand better how the future product should interact with its users.
Marketing specialists and copywriters are able to provide their customers with the most relevant content.
Using this instrument (personas) in your development process gives you much stronger guarantees to find your niche among other successful applications.
Do you imagine your future user's needs and behaviour correctly?
User story briefly describes the set of actions of a user in your application. This typically may look like this: "Emilia, a hairdresser buys professional implements and chemistry in a beauty-proff app".
On Friday evening, on finishing the revision of her stocks, Emilia is going to order a few bottles of professional shampoo for dyed hair.
She adds the goods to the card and chooses "add delivery to multiple addresses".
Then she fills in the data about delivery addresses and contact phone numbers, clicks "confirm".
After that Emilia checks the sum to pay and clicks "Buy".
She gives her payment credentials and approves her order.
Finally, she gets a confirmation letter and continues her work.
The storyboard technique is basically your visualized scenario for a brighter look. You may use it in a presentation, add it to the documentation on the project. And it simply helps to clarify how things should work.
How do we start creating the design of our future application?
There is a huge variety of software, designer tools both to download and available online, expensive and free of charge. You can choose any to use. But before starting the design process within any of them, you should have at least a handwritten sketch. Otherwise, you risk to get stuck in front of the laptop screen having opened the designer software.
Writing-first design is a great idea to start the process of creation. We don't mean you should literary draw it by hands. It's rather a checklist for the future design to be sure you include everything to create a handy piece of software.
How can I give them what they want and do that better than others?
What options and special features can make people choose me?
What can make them continue using my app/website?
Are the key elements of functionality organized logically?
Is it possible to understand how it works at a glance?
Is the content appropriate and readable?
Does it look contemporary and in accordance with the chosen topic?
Can it be done better? (if yes, then what and how).
Writing everything down is a habit of successful people. Write down your plans about business – our memory is tricky. You may be surprised in a few days that you came up with such a piece of an idea for your app and will be very grateful for having done all those precious notes.
Are you full of ideas and they sing aloud in your head? Or your brain refuses to be creative at all? Mind Map can help in both of these cases. It's a great visual technique to use for your app development process or any other matter. Its most beloved and basic value is to put your ideas in order and make them usable.
Define the brand style, colours and topography.
As you see, Mind Map can help you organize you different pieces of information, ideas, and structure the overall workflow.
You have got an idea of a product and defined the target audience for it, have created a detailed logic of your app and its style. How to see its performance without creating any piece of code?
Wireframes and paper prototypes will show, how all those things which have just been an idea are going to work.
Wireframe is a black and white sketch of your future application or a website. It's a complete but static app layout. To create a wireframe you are not supposed to have deep knowledge of HTML & CSS and today there are a lot of online services to help you create one. Despite a simple look, it's a very valuable artefact and serves as a basis for the future development process.
To create more engaging and realistic demonstration you can use the paper prototype. Have you ever painted a stick figure climbing a ladder up and down in your copybook's corners to make a cartoon? :) Then you have already created at least one simple paper prototype in your life and get the idea.
You simply draw different screens of your app, cut out buttons and panels and show your client which objects will appear or disappear and how pages will change after certain user's actions.
Have we created what our users like?
Surely we like what we have done. But will this product be in demand among our real users? There is only one way to find out. Before the official release, we should ask people to try our app or a website. There are moderate testing and unmoderate testing techniques which you may use to run tests on your product involving real people.
You rule the process and see the results in a real-time mode.
You see the users' behaviour, their expectations and their attitude to your product.
You get more honest feedback because people are relaxed being without control.
Is it a must to use all these techniques?
You may follow all of them or some of them. After all, the result is what really matters.
Our professional experience says that a successful project must take into account the marketing research techniques and latest design trends. Listening to your entrepreneur's intuition alongside with implementing cutting edge development methods will surely give you great results!

The history of chocolate has already been outlined on this blog through an old leaflet published by Cadbury's in the fifties.
Here is another version, also by Cadbury's, from a mid-seventies chocolate book that I have already dipped into.
I have also un-earthed of few advertisments from down the years to add to the mix that are quite fascinating.

Pull out your hats and gloves because wintertime is White Style time! On January 30th 2015, mountain bike pro's will head back into the Alps for the first FMB World Tour event of the season. The silver event held on snow is the first time fans can see what the riders have been working on during the off-season. With a course made completely from snow, White Style is no walk in the park. You can expect to see some big names this winter in Leogang.
Standing at the bottom of the course, looking up at the chain of huge snow kickers, it's hard to believe that when the floodlights come on, the athletes will start flipping, spinning and whipping their way down. Over the last 9 years White Style has been a salvation for mountain bike fans looking to escape the winter months and enjoy some rad slopestyle action.
The riders' field is still not confirmed, but you can expect a heavy line up of athletes eager to throw down their best tricks. This is a pre-season opportunity for athletes to not only get the first FMB ranking points in the bag, but also warm up for the upcoming season. Getting focused and tuning into competition mode also requires practice. In the past, White Style has surprised us more than once. We have seen big tricks go down like Pavel Alekhin's (RUS) backflip double tailwhip in 2013 and rookie riders like Nicholi Rogatkin (USA) breakthrough into the pro scene.
This year was Antoine Bizet's for the taking. The Frenchman put together an impressive run, finishing off with a double backflip to seal the victory. His win at White Style was his first ever victory at an international contest. Rising talent Nicholi Rogatkin celebrated his second place and Swede Anton Thelander secured third.

This work is a music video I created for the musician's request. The musician name is EARL, NVRKNW and song title is 'ON MY GRIND'. The music represents the constant depression, insomnia, and harsh reality musicians are facing. Also, it has self-reflection lyrics along with criticism toward a person who has left. I allocate these factors in this work.
Commemoration For Analog Television in 2014, Video, 6'27'', 2018
The purpose of this artwork is to commemorate the era of analog television through objects and backgrounds being made up of three primary colors (Red, Green, Blue). Television has been a partner of the most popular free-time activity. Analog television no longer has served the public since the digital switchover had happened from analog to digital television broadcasting. There are tremendous benefits to working with media in the digital domain, while the cathode ray tube makes analog television bulky and heavy. But, the seemingly annoying analog television had dedicated to the popularization of art in the last few decades. To cherish the memory of analog television, all ordinary objects (stools, table, traffic cone) are colored by only three primary colors. And the background describes a close-up image of an analog color screen. If an audience comes to this place, they can feel like being on an analog television.
* This objects are made up of real size,
and if you want to see more > homage - Other section > Object !
The world is moving fast and our society has changed to the digital era. Television also ended production of analog television sets in Korea on January 1, 2010. Analog signal transmission of television was completed at 4 a.m. on Dec. 31, 2012. And television is now fully converted to digital. So if one television is not a digital television, will not function without a separate converter for change to digital system. Therefore, now we watch digital television, not analog television.
Here, the artist considers whether it is okay to leave analog television, which has shared our lives and cultures. Is it possible we will be forgotten so easily for the past 56 years from analog television era? The work began with this idea, as a reminder, the artist would like to celebrate it once again. In other words, it is a monumental work of remembering analog television.
The artist noted the three primary characteristics of analog television (color) – the 'three primary colors of light'. The analog television format is to output and transmit various color combinations using the three primary colors of light, "red, blue and green", are used for work (RGB color). And by bringing those results into the intended space, it was hoped that viewers would feel as if they were inside the analog television. We've seen analog television so far that we can remember it again with three primary colors of light. For this reasons, the artist covered tables, chairs, and bookshelf in RGB colors.
Visitors can enter the space, which is made of the three primary colors. And sit in RGB color chair and talk, drink coffee, or cry and laugh. As soon as viewers in the space, they can move freely while remembering the analog television, which expresses the most typical characteristics of the analog television system.

Women and girls across the world spend 200 million hours every day fetching water; what is worse is that in many cases, this water, often contaminated, only leads to disease.
Shivani, a young girl from Damoh, Madhya Pradesh, does not go to school. She spends her day performing household chores, which often includes a four kilometre to and fro trek to fetch water from the river. Both her parents work outside the house and are often sick, which only increases her burden of housework.
Shivani's family belongs to the Jogi community, a nomadic community spread over parts of Madhya Pradesh, amongst other states. In Batiyagarh in Damoh, where Shivani lives, the community comprises about 50 families. Their homes have no piped water supply promised by the Nal Jal Yojana (piped water scheme) and there is no well or functioning handpump in the vicinity either. Left with only two options- tap water from other people's homes and contaminated river water- most families consume water from the river as the former source is only available if there's any water left after other households' usage.
As a result, disease is rampant; skin infections, stomach ailments, fevers, the residents have seen it all. But the other fallout is that girls like Shivani are losing out on education and the prospect of a better and dignified future.
Community Correspondent Artibai Valmiki's video has a series of sequences where one sees women and girls fetching water. According to the UNICEF, women and girls across the globe spend 200 million hours fetching water everyday.
Goal 6 of the Sustainable Development Goals aims at universal and equitable access to safe and affordable water. The first step is to ensure that basic water services are available at a 30-minute round trip, with the ultimate goal being provision of water in all homes. In Batiyagarh, however, even the former has not been taken care of as the closest source of water for the 50 Jogi households is a river and not a government-designated or constructed safe water source. The only handpump that the panchayat building has is defunct and the water pump was taken to another panchayat; the community doesn't seem to know why.
The situation is so dire despite the central and the state governments running multiple programmes and schemes. The central government's National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) aims to ensure access to water and a minimum quality of water to all rural persons, and piped water supply is the desirable means to achieve these goals.
The Madhya Pradesh government, like a few other state governments, also runs the Nal Jal Yojana. The households in Batiyagarh whose tap water the Jogi families sometimes access have also been given piped water under this scheme. The scheme's website lists 480 panchayats in Damoh, of which 411 are registered under the scheme, and only 160 have been covered. The scheme is implemented by the Public Health Engineering (PHE) Department and the government has also roped in private contractors to ensure water supply under the scheme. Madhya Pradesh also received 5.72% of the NRDWP funds when the programme renewed in 2016, making it one of the top 10 states in terms of the amount received.
But none of these schemes and programmes seem to have touched the Jogi families of Damoh. Shivani, Rubi Bai and most other women of the community continue to go down to the rocky river bank almost everyday, risking their lives to fetch water. What is worse is that the water they get is only adding to their perils.
To ensure that the Jogi community in Damoh get access to safe water through piped water supply under the Nal Jal Yojana, call Shashi Bhushan from the PHE Department at +91-9098665262 and urge him to take action immediately.

Hello crafters, Sue here with another Christmas card. Can you believe Christmas is just one month away! Wow, the time is flying by.
Today I'm showing a white shaker card that has a pop of colour.
I started off by die cutting the House in the Woods from wood grain card stock for a bit of texture. I turned this into my shaker element by popping it up on foam strips and backing it with blue glitter card stock. I kept the shaker bits simple by adding white and iridescent stars, beads and sequins. Just a few of each.
Next, the sentiment was stamped on the card base so I could work the snowflakes around it. I die cut a bunch of Ava Snowflakes from the same white card stock as the card base so the snowflakes would blend into the background.
This is an easy and fairly quick card to make. The part that takes the longest is adhering all those snowflakes!
I'd like to wish all our American friends a Happy Thanksgiving!
Morning Sue, Happy Thanksgiving to all our American lovelies.
Sue, I absolutely adore this shaker card, I love how you have created the 'alternative' embossed background, more time consuming but so, so effective. The House in the Woods, onto woodgrain card looks fabulous. An ideal card and looks quite simple to make, I may have to try this one, thank you so much for the inspiration.
Gorgeous shaker card!! Wonderful mixes of cutting dies, and so beautifully done.
Oh Sue, what a great card. There aren't a lot of elements, but your embossing of the house panel (wood-grain=genius) and the card base, really give this card high grades.
I would have never thought to use glitter paper as a background for a shaker card, but I'm going to write that one down in my idea journal. If you fit that "Merry Christmas" in the space left by an embossing folder, I have a couch you could help me fit into my bathroom!
Wishing you winter wonderlands, and much joy during the holiday season.
Beautiful, love the sequins inside for the snow, great idea for a shaker!
Wow, Sue--love every single element of this beautiful card! You've inspired me!

Predator avoidance performance of larval fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) following short-term exposure to estrogen mixtures
Aquatic Toxicology
By: M.R. McGee, M.L. Julius, A.M. Vajda, D.O. Norris, L.B. Barber, and H.L. Schoenfuss
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aquatox.2008.12.002
Aquatic organisms exposed to endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) at early life-stages may have reduced reproductive fitness via disruption of reproductive and non-reproductive behavioral and physiological pathways. Survival to reproductive age relies upon optimal non-reproductive trait expression, such as adequate predator avoidance responses, which may be impacted through EDC exposure. During a predator–prey confrontation, larval fish use an innate C-start escape behavior to rapidly move away from an approaching threat. We tested the hypotheses that (1) larval fathead minnows exposed to estrogens, a primary class of EDCs, singularly or in mixture, suffer a reduced ability to perform an innate C-start behavior when faced with a threat stimulus; (2) additive effects will cause greater reductions in C-start behavior; and (3) effects will differ among developmental stages. In this study, embryos (post-fertilization until hatching) were exposed for 5 days to environmentally relevant concentrations of estrone (E1), 17β-estradiol (E2), and 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) singularly and in mixture. Exposed embryos were allowed to hatch and grow in control well water until 12 days old. Similarly, post-hatch fathead minnows were exposed for 12 days to these compounds. High-speed (1000 frames/s) video recordings of escape behavior were collected and transferred to National Institutes of Health Image for frame-by-frame analysis of latency period, escape velocity, and total escape response (combination of latency period and escape velocity). When tested 12 days post-hatch, only E1 adversely affected C-start performance of larvae exposed as embryos. Conversely, larvae exposed for 12 days post-hatch did not exhibit altered escape responses when exposed to E1, while adverse responses were seen in E2 and the estrogen mixture. Ethinylestradiol exposure did not elicit changes in escape behaviors at either developmental stage. The direct impact of reduced C-start performance on survival, and ultimately, reproductive fitness provides an avenue to assess the ecological relevance of exposure in an assay of relatively short duration.

YouTube Will Now Optimize Unusual Aspect Ratio | GOSSIPY.
The online video streaming and sharing website giant "YouTube" has just announced that the videos with an unusual aspect ratio watched on a desktop/laptop browser will no longer appear with black bars. Instead, they will be rendered, optimized and stretched to appear bigger.
The rendering and optimization will be done by removing the default 16:9 frame and optimizing the UI to adjust to different screen sizes.
This change could finally make vertical videos less annoying and less pixelated, the changes should be gradually rolling out to everyone after being released for the Android and iOS mobile app for some time now.
Please share, sharing is caring.


I LOVE these baby geese. They are so much more interactive than what I was expecting - they stand up on their little flappy feet and jump jump jump, all excited to see me, and whistle every time I walk by them. So of course I have to stop every time and talk to them, at least. I am not getting anything done! I let them out today on the floor and I laughed so hard I cried when they started zooming around in circles with their baby wings out. Thank you, Heidi, for the suggestion of teaching them to stay put on my lap - they definitely want to be ON MY FACE all the time, and I can see what a problem that could lead to. I see what hardware disease is about - they're little vacuum cleaners. The dogs seem to be learning that these are babies to be protected - I've noticed each of the dogs separately guarding them and they seem to be very, very respectful and gentle. I was not sure if the dogs would want to eat them - and I sure wouldn't leave them alone - but it seems that they will be recognized as part of the family. I am glad I got the second goose - they are so cute all curled up together. One would have been too lonely.

From award-winning author P.W. Catanese comes the second fast-paced thriller about a twelve-year-old boy who must protect the kinder, gentler underworld from returning to its previous terrifying incarnation. After being rescued from a fiery death by Angela Obscura, an ancient demon from the underworld, Donny Taylor is settling into a new home in Sulfur. Life as Angela's mortal assistant isn't so bad. Donny gets to travel to exotic places through fire portals, money is no object, and he's seeing amazing things that few mortal boys have ever laid eyes on. Plus Angela is fun to be around. What's not to like? Well there is one minor detail. Being Angela's assistant has almost gotten Donny killed a couple of times. And Angela doesn't seem to take his worries very seriously. After all, she may look like a beautiful human, but she's a demon and hard to kill. Donny, however, is all too vulnerable. When another encounter with a horrific underworld monster nearly gets him devoured, he's starting to wonder if he should find a way out of the whole situation. Then the king of the underworld's ferrymen gives Angela and Donny a mission. Souls are disappearing before they reach Sulfur. But who's taking them, and why? Their quest takes the pair on another globe-hopping adventure, where they join forces with a charming old friend of Angela's named Fiasco. When Donny finds himself in danger yet again, it's finally time to decide: Should he help Angela pursue this mystery to its shocking conclusion? Or should he plan his escape to a normal mortal life, before it all goes down in flames?


My Sweet Haven: Share the good news to everybody.
Being a first time expectant mom can be very exciting and overwhelming at the same time. As what most moms have experienced, the first trimester is the hardest and most crucial. Our body undergoes changes and in my case it's tough. But I know this will pass and I'm looking forward to really enjoy this stage of motherhood. Along with the difficult symptoms to deal with, first time parents like us think ahead of stuff that the baby might need like clothes, diapers, crib, blankets and designing of the nursery room. However, I think it will be too early for us to buy these things but yeah it did cross our minds among other things. I even thought about sending out photo birth announcements to our family and friends both here and in the PI. I know it's not really necessary since there's already Facebook and other networking sites that I share with my friends which I think is a good place to share photos of the future baby. But the idea of sending out birth announcements seem appealing so we'll see.
sad to say, but you really have to go through all those things. i hope you'll feel better very soon..
I hope you do get over your morning sickness. Make sure you always eat a healthy breakfast (along with the other meals of the day), and get plenty of rest!
Birth announcements are good. We sent out some when Rome was born, and they make great keepsakes too.
I'm excited for you, Jenn. You will get used to it and will love it later on.
Jenn, I'm so excited for you....how I wish I'm pregnant too...despite those changes, just bear in mind, after the agony, there's joy. Hugz!


Xiaolei Tang will lead a team to examine how vitamin D might be used to develop a restorative therapy for damaged intestines.
Loma Linda University Health has received a more than $430,000 grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the National Institutes of Health to study ways vitamin D could potentially be used to enhance intestinal wall repair of patients suffering from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
IBD is a chronic and debilitating disease in human intestines that affects approximately 1.6 million Americans. The number of people affected by IBD is rising worldwide, making it an increasingly global disease in the 21st century.
The grant is for two years with a total of $433,340 in funding.
U.S. Congressman Pete Aguilar (CA-31) said he was pleased that Loma Linda University Health — which resides in his district — was awarded this grant.
Aguilar is a member of the House Appropriations Committee and has been a consistent advocate for NIH funding to make these types of grants possible.
IBD is caused by a disordered immune response to intestinal bacteria. Normally, bacteria is contained outside the intestinal wall for food digestion and is prevented from entering other organs. However, this immune disorder can damage the intestinal wall, allowing bacteria to enter into other organs. A vicious cycle starts: bacteria in the internal organs further worsen the immune disorder, which in turn lets more bacteria pass through the gut wall into internal organs. The vicious cycle continues unless the gut wall is completely repaired.
No medications are currently available to repair the damaged intestinal wall. Recent research has suggested that, under healthy conditions, vitamin D is a key component for the normal functions of intestinal stem cells. Intestinal stem cells are known to renew the intestinal wall every 5 to 7 days to ensure its integrity. Tang will use the awarded grant to examine if such renewal mechanisms can be harnessed for the repair of damaged intestinal wall. He and his team will determine how vitamin D affects the functions of intestinal stem cells.
The grant award number is R21AI142170.


WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Stars goaltender Ben Bishop picked up his second assist of the season with a secondary tally on Radek Faksa's first goal of the Stars' 5-2 win over the Jets on Monday night.
It is the third time in Bishop's career that he's registered multiple assists in a season.
With less than eight minutes left in the second period, the Jets dumped the puck into the Stars' zone at the end of a long shift. Bishop greeted the puck before the icing line and quickly led Mattias Janmark at the opposite blue line. Janmark carried into the zone and fed Faksa in the slot. Faksa beat Connor Hellebuyck gloveside for his first of two goals.
"I knew that they were tired and I was hoping that I would get the chance to play it," Bishop said. "They'd been out there for a long time, so I knew that was going on and then when I had a chance to move it up, that was my plan before it ever happened and I had an opportunity to do it."
Bishop, regarded as one of the best puck-handling goaltenders in the league, also had an assist Oct. 9 against Toronto.
Golden opportunity: Faksa had two goals Monday night, depositing an empty-net goal after missing the open cage moments earlier.
Alexander Radulov and Valeri Nichuhskin picked up the assists on Faksa's goal.
"I don't know if I should laugh or cry," Faksa said of the empty-net miss. "It was good effort by Rads and Val to get the second effort and I got it back. It made me feel a little better."
On the sidelines: Stars forward Joel L'Esperance was a healthy scratch on Monday night, the first time in his NHL career he watched from the press box. Brett Ritchie and Nichushkin flanked Justin Dowling on the fourth line as Jason Dickinson was promoted to the top line with Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin.
"I think he wasn't playing a 200-foot game anymore with purpose," Stars coach Jim Montgomery said of L'Esperance. "I didn't think he was winning as many battles. He's been really good for us and he's generated a lot of offense. We just want him to sit, watch a game, and get reset and realize that mentally, sometimes we make the game bigger than it needs to be. You just need to go out and play."

Our client was looking to substantially upgrade their space with the addition of a custom built mantle place. They wanted to incorporate an electric fireplace and their flat screen TV. We helped them design a mantle place the incorporated their wish to have weathered wood featured, as well as raw steel plates to really deliver a richly textured and elegant focal point to their living space.
The design work for this project was mostly focused on the balancing of proportions. Getting the placement of the appliances to balance with the mass of the mantle piece, as well as getting the mantle piece to balance within the room itself.
On top of this, careful consideration had to be given to the material choices. The mantle place itself is an 8 x 8 scorched hemlock beam. The cladding elements are ship lapped, white washed barn boards, and the end panels are 1/8th inch thick raw steel plates. Three very rugged, organic, and handsomely textured choices that just sing so well together.
Close up of the intersection between cladding, steel and mantle.
The ship lapped profile of the wood gave the finished product a very clean and graphical feel.
One of the bigger design considerations was ensuring that the seams of the cladding would align with the top and bottom of the fireplace appliance. Thus giving it that sense of intentionality and consideration that is rarely met.

The Massive Bomb Attacks in Sri Lanka Remain Puzzling
April 22 (EIRNS)—Following the coordinated attack by seven suicide bombers on churches and luxury hotels in Sri Lanka yesterday that killed at least 290 people and wounded more than 500, the Sri Lankan government said today the Islamist group National Thowheed Jamath (NTJ) was behind the attacks. NTJ is believed to have split from Sri Lanka Thowheed Jamath (SLTJ), another hard-line group. SLTJ's leader, Abdul Razik, was arrested in 2016. Hilmy Ahamed, vice president of the Muslim Council of Sri Lanka, said he warned military intelligence officials about the group and its leaders about three years ago. In addition, according to AFP, Sri Lankan police had reportedly issued a warning to top officials 10 days before the deadly blasts that wreaked havoc in the churches and hotels in multiple cities across the country.
Beyond that, why these deadly attacks took place, as well as the involvement of the Muslims, is puzzling. Less than 10% of Sri Lankans are Muslim and less than 8% are Christian. Muslims, who are poorer and located in a territory about 150 miles northeast of Colombo have no known support base inside the capital city. Muslims, who had provided hide-outs for the Tamil Tigers but never joined hands with the Tigers during the decades of civil war, had never been in conflict with the Christians, although some Buddhist fanatics had attacked and pillaged Muslim properties a few years ago. Under the circumstances, it is likely that the officials ignored the exigency and gravity of the warnings, since it is likely that they found no reason why any Sri Lankan Muslim would target the Sri Lankan Christians indiscriminately on Easter Sunday.
While failure of the Sri Lankan intelligence is self-evident, there were reports a couple of years ago of Saudi money coming to the Sri Lankan Muslims to counter the growing bilateral relations between Iran and Sri Lankan authorities. It was said then that the Saudis were encouraging the Sri Lankan Muslims to embrace the Saudis' Wahhabism. In recent days, however, no further report of growing Saudi support appeared in the public domain.

Lafayette Jeff state of the art athletics center to open in summer 2020
Sam King
Journal & Courier
LAFAYETTE — Lafayette Jeff's newly-constructed athletics facility now has a name.
The Lafayette School Corp. board approved the name of complex as the Scheumann Family Sports Performance Center, honoring John Scheumann and family who made a donation towards the building.
Jeff's new sports performance facility will include 6,600 square feet, residing where the former swimming and diving complex was. It will have 14 squat racks, 14 platforms among other amenities, including a 1,200 square foot all-purpose turn training area.
The Broncho swimming program is scheduled to move into its newly built natatorium by the end of 2019. The new weight room facility will open in the summer of 2020.
"Moving from a 2,000 square foot facility to a 6,500 square foot facility is a game changer both academically and athletically," principal Mark Preston said in a release. "This new, state of the art, facility will allow us to serve the needs of all of our physical education students as well as that of our student-athletes. We cannot thank our donors enough for their commitment to the students of the Lafayette School Corporation and their continued support of the rich tradition of Jefferson High."
Silver anniversary team

Peckinpaugh, who is now in his first season as head boys basketball coach at Clinton Prairie, was an Indiana All-Star following his senior season in which he received all-state honors from the Associated Press and Indiana Basketball Coaches Association and was the Journal & Courier Player of the Year.
Peckinpaugh, who played under his father Rick and later coached under him for 13 seasons at McCutcheon, scored 1,203 career points, including a school record 58 in a single game. He played Division I basketball for three seasons at Eastern Illinois before finishing his career at the University of Indianapolis.
Additionally, former Purdue men's basketball player Alan Eldridge and former Purdue assistant coach Jack Owens are on the team.
Eldridge, a star at Fort Wayne Wayne, helped Purdue win the 1996 Big Ten championship, as well made make Sweet 16 appearances in 1998 and' 99. Owens, who played at Indianapolis Washington, was on Purdue's basketball staff for nine seasons. He is currently in his third season as head coach at Miami (Ohio).
Football all-stars
After winning a Class A state championship, Central Catholic head football coach Brian Nay has been named one of the Indiana North-South All-Star Classic coaches for the game in the summer of 2020.
Joining Nay on the North staff will be Harrison defensive line coach Keith Madderom, who has helped the Raiders win back-to-back sectional championships.

THE Scottish Government is to spend £4.5million over three years on needles and other drug equipment to give to addicts.
Hospitals and prisons will be supplied with syringes, swabs, citric acid and even spoons. The Government says the aim is to cut the numbers of addicts getting hepatitis C through sharing needles. But drug expert Professor Neil McKeganey said they should concentrate on getting addicts OFF drugs, rather than help to feed their habits.
Prof McKeganey, of Glasgow University's Centre for Drug Misuse, said: "I think that the Scottish Government are labouring under the mis-apprehension that if they provide drug users with the means of using illegal drugs that they will effectively reduce some of the harm. "Yet we have in Scotland record levels of drug related death, record levels of hepatitis C infections these are indications of failure to prevent harm. I think that such a sum of money would be much more usefully spent on funding abstinence based programmes."
He added: "Our government is so wedded to the principle of harm reduction that they are giving inadequate resources to those places which are about abstinence That is what we have been doing of the last 15 years and failing.
"If we continue doing that then we will continue to fail."
The Scottish Government is inviting bids from firms to supply the gear.
A spokesman said: "Scotland is in the middle of a hepatitis C epidemic and it would be irresponsible to ignore that. To tackle this effectively we must reduce, as much as possible, the frequency of intravenous drug users sharing injecting equipment."

Expanding Housing Choices in Downtown Grand Junction
Grand Junction, Colorado | Completed 2015
Grand Junction, Colorado has a great Main Street corridor. It provides a rich retail environment and numerous places for people to gather and interact. From exemplary streetscape to vibrant events, the downtown has a lot going for it. But most days, it shuts down early. The vibrancy and vitality of the downtown is limited; this is largely because not enough people live in or around the downtown area.
The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and the City of Grand Junction brought Community Builders in to help understand their downtown housing issue, create ideas and strategies, and as a result, inspire a 24/7 vibrancy in the downtown.
In order to increase housing options, we broke the process into four components: understanding the situation, understanding the market, identifying and experimenting with different housing development types (including identifying opportunity sites, housing design concepts, and financial feasibility), and lastly, creating a downtown housing strategy with clear and long-term steps.
With surveys and an analysis of market data, we were able to understand the demand for downtown housing. A project advisory committee composed of DDA staff, City staff, community members, realtors, and developers was also assembled. We helped this group develop criteria for developing opportunity sites and experiment with different housing types at these locations. The goal was not only to identify financially feasible projects for those sites, but to create models that could be used in similar sites around the downtown.
In result of this process, the DDA and City walked away with an increased understanding of the importance of expanding housing choices. This knowledge carried over to the DDA's updated Plan of Development—a project also lead by Community Builders. Further, a developer in Grand Junction has begun development of one of the opportunity sites identified in this project. The site is currently in process.

A day after the dudes did it, Stanford women's basketball cruised into the NCAA Sweet 16 with a 63-44 victory over Florida State. Tara's team went on a 30-2 run spanning two halves to remove any doubt.
The Golden Bears kept it close for the majority of the game, but the Cal women were no match for Baylor at the end, falling to the Lady Bears 75-56 (Cal only trailed by three with about 10 minutes left before a 13-2 Baylor run).
The Pac-12's other team playing Monday night in the NCAA women's tourney, Arizona State, had its season ended by undefeated Notre Dame. It was a six-point game at the half before Notre Dame closed the book on the Sun Devils' season with an 84-67 decision.
Oregon State gives the Pac-12 its last chance at a second Sweet 16 team when it plays top-seeded South Carolina Tuesday night in Seattle (6:30 p.m. PT, ESPN2). Gina Mizell takes us inside Oregon State coach Scott Rueck's defensive philosophy that is obviously working pretty well right now.
There was a Pac-12 clash in the WNIT Monday night, and Washington downed Oregon to move on to the Sweet 16. Final score: 93-85 Dawgs, but they had to erase a 12-point halftime deficit to advance. Congrats to Jazmine Davis for surpassing the 600-point mark for the season and to Kelsey Plum for breaking the UW single-season scoring record.
In men's basketball news now…Arizona beat San Diego State early on this season, but there are big differences in the Zona-SDSU rematch that's coming Thursday night in the Sweet 16.
Let's read a little bit about how Jordan Adams keeps it basic – which is a complication for opponents.

Aluminum is the most commonly used material for gutters, and they are among the least costly gutter systems. They are lightweight, rust-proof and easy to customize for your home. Unlike vinyl, aluminum is weather resistant even in winter and is especially effective for cold climates. In addition, aluminum gutters hold paint much better than vinyl gutters. Aluminum gutters can be manufactured in seamless models.
These gutters are extremely flexible, but must be handled with some caution. They may dent easily and can become damaged by misplaced ladders. So, care is advised during installation. To reduce the likelihood of unintentional damage, purchase gutters made of primary aluminum. Primary aluminum is thicker than secondary aluminum products, which are made mostly of recycled materials. Stock ranging in thickness from 0.018 to 0.032 inches is recommended, with thicker stock providing the best protection against damage from snow, ice and rain as well as from wind-related damage from falling branches and storm debris.
Aluminum is widely available, durable and relatively inexpensive, so is often the most ideal choice for your gutter system. Typically, an aluminum rain gutter system sold at hardware or home supply stores is painted white or brown. However, with some effort, they can be found in other colors. They can also be easily be repainted in any color. Traditional aluminum gutters are sold in sections that are 10 feet long, which can be combined with connectors and sealant. Aluminum rain gutter system Sterling Heights MI can be found in most home supply centers.
Whether or not you are doing your own installation, it is important to understand the process. Aluminum gutters can be installed in the following ways.
Aluminum expands in the hot weather and contracts when temperatures drop. Therefore, use expansion joints in long runs to prevent wrinkling or seam buckling.
As a final note of caution, as versatile as aluminum gutters are, there are circumstances when they should not be used. For roof coverings incorporating algae-resistant shingles, avoid aluminum gutter systems. These shingles have granules covered with a thin coating of copper. This could lead to galvanic corrosion when used with aluminum gutters.
When aluminum is not the best option, other materials that can used for gutter systems include vinyl, copper, stainless steel and wood.

Q: PetaPoco - Property names from a dynamic type I'm attempting to return names of properties of returned from database dynamic type:
var d = mDataAccess.Single<dynamic>("select col1 = 'asd', col2 = 'qwe'");
object o = d;
var props = o.GetType().GetProperties();
int propsCount = props.Count();

the propsCount is 0, however I expect to have 2,
in which case the code below would return to me two names: col1 and col2
List<string> names = o.GetType().GetProperties().Select(x => x.Name).ToList();

Any ideas why I don't get properties that I expect?

A: If you're happy with a list of dictionaries, you can use:
var results = database.Fetch<dynamic>(sql).Cast<IDictionary<string, object>>().ToList();

If you want to transform this into a Dictionary<string, List<string>>, follow that up with:
result.First().Keys.ToDictionary(k => k, k => result.Select(r => r[k].ToString()).ToList());

after checking the result count.

A: Single return ExpandoObject.
You can get names from query by using:
(d as IDictionary<String, object>).Keys
List<string> names = (d as IDictionary<String, object>).Keys.ToList();

A: Since no one could provide a working answer, I'll post the solution that I was able to fix this with.
var e = new Dictionary<string, List<string>>();

Sql sql = new Sql("select col1 = 'asd', col2 = 'qwe'");
var d = mDataAccess.Query<dynamic>(sql);

if (d != null && d.Count() > 0)
{
    List<string> cols = new List<string>();
    foreach (var t in d.First())
    {
        cols.Add(t.Key);
    }

    foreach (var key in cols)
    {
        List<string> values = new List<string>();
        foreach (var row in d)
        {
            foreach (var t in row)
            {
                if (t.Key == key) values.Add(t.Value.ToString());
            }
        }
        e.Add(key, values);
    }
}

return e;

Yes, Suicidal People Like Kate Spade Can Look Like They 'Have It All'
byElizabeth Yuko Jun 06, 2018 at 4:45 pm EDT
Photo: Getty Images/Design: Ashley Britton/SheKnows
There is no official way to look depressed or suicidal. It's not as if you get your diagnosis from a psychiatrist and are immediately issued a pair of stained sweatpants and a worn-out bathrobe and instructed to skip showering and never stop crying.
For a lot of people living with mental illness—myself included—it can look like we have it together. We can get up in the morning, put on a polished outfit, go to work, make jokes, socialize and carry on as if everything were normal—even though in reality, inside we feel like life is pointless and hopeless.
Upon first learning about my diagnosis, several people even told me that I don't "look" depressed or even that I have "no reason" to be depressed. But that's not how mental illness works. There is no way of looking at a person, assessing their physical appearance, demeanor or professional success and knowing for sure what's going on in their mind or how their brain works. But this is hard to remember sometimes—like when we learned of designer Kate Spade's death.

Though her sister, Reta Saffo, told the Kansas City Star that Spade had suffered from "debilitating mental illness" for the past three or four years and was self-medicating with alcohol, she says Spade avoided seeking help out of fear that it would hurt her "happy-go-lucky" brand. Most of the rest of us aren't literally the face of a cheerful, colorful brand built on optimism, but some of us also living with mental illness can absolutely relate to feeling like we have to constantly mask how we're really feeling.
Why Losing a Public Figure Like This Affects Us
Unlike her sister, most of us don't know Spade personally, yet similar to the responses to the deaths of Robin Williams and Chester Bennington, many people have strong emotional reactions. This happens because we feel somehow feel personally connected to their work—whether your first "real" handbag was one of Spade's designs or you grew up watching Williams on Mork & Mindy or listening to Bennington's music with Linkin Park.
"We invite public figures and celebrities into our homes and our hearts in such a way that allows us to genuinely celebrate when they get married and have children and grieve when they are gone," Dr. Marissa Long, a licensed clinical psychologist in Southern California and the founder of Thrive WISE, tells SheKnows. "The loss of these icons by way of suicide can have an even bigger impact because of how we have come to know them over time. We know them as happy, healthy, successful role models. We don't typically know them as actual people with struggles or complaints."

Success is Not an Antidepressant
Unsurprisingly, when someone well known dies this way, people have a lot of questions, most frequently, "How could they be so depressed? They had it all," Dr. Dion Metzger, a psychiatrist practicing in Atlanta, tells SheKnows. She explains that we see people like Spade as successful and rich and assume that it comes with happiness, noting that her death serves as a reminder that mental illness does not discriminate based on income and/or fame.
It also underscores the incorrect assumption that depression is simply being really sad about a certain event or situation—as opposed to being a serious mental health condition based in the brain that impacts our mind and behavior, Long explains.
"This means that no matter how seemingly great our lives may be or actually are, if the brain's chemistry is out of balance in just the right way, we will suffer from depression," she says. "A depressed person may be stereotypically sad, isolative, cry often and have negative thoughts. They can alternatively be extra engaged, putting effort into connecting one last time or anything in between."
Although people living with depression and/or suicidal thoughts don't all look a certain way, there are some warning signs to keep in mind. These could include a person giving away their possessions, making vague statements like "the world would be better off without me" or "I wish I could just go to bed and never wake up," or hoarding their medications instead of taking them as prescribed, Patti Sabla, a psychotherapist and licensed clinical social worker practicing in Hawaii, tells SheKnows. Similarly, Metzger adds that other warning signs include a person isolating themselves from other people and making final statements like "I've always loved you."
Additionally, Long says not to ignore a person if they talk about wanting to die or kill themselves, noting, "This may seem obvious, but often goes overlooked." And pay attention to other things they say, including if they mention that they feel like they're a burden or hopeless. Also, any behaviors that display a recklessness or disinterest in safety beyond what would be considered normal may be a warning sign, Long adds.

What To Do If You Think Someone Might Be Suicidal
As hard as it might be to address suicide with someone, Long says that it's important to let the person know that you're concerned about them and care.
"Oftentimes, when we think that someone may be suicidal, it can create a very real fear that we attempt to dismiss or avoid," she explains. "Instead, the best thing to do is to approach it in a caring but head-on manner and provide solid resources, and possibly even a plan to immediately access those resources such as a suicide hotline, contacting the police or going to a nearby hospital for evaluation and support."
If you simply avoid the issue, it can add to depressive thoughts such as, "no one cares" or "it would be better for others if I were gone," Long says. And don't be concerned that bringing up suicide will plant the thought for the person. "If someone is having thoughts of suicide, the greater risk is not talking to them about it," she adds. "By the time that someone may think and be brave enough to ask about suicidal thoughts, it is likely their loved one has been contemplating or struggling with suicidal thoughts in secret."
What We Can Learn from This
We can use tragedies like Spade's death as a teachable moment for those who may not know much about suicide, Sabla explains, adding that now is the time to have a dialogue about it because suicidal thoughts are more common in society than we realize.
"Hopefully, this decreases the stigma behind suicide and allows people to have an open conversation about it," she says.
If you or someone you know is feeling suicidal, you can call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.

Urose 2014 Conference: What We Should Expect From Urocoin
The Uro Foundation announces the expansion of the URO ecosystem at the Urose 2014 Conference, held in Hong Kong on October 29.
– Total shares
[Update: An earlier version of this article stated that Tucker Waterman's identity was unknown, commentators have revealed to us that he is a filmmaker. We regret the error, but stand by the remaining article, a revised version follows below.]
Hosted by Urocoin (URO) initiator and chief development officer Bohan Huang, the Urose 2014 conference started with an introduction of the difficulties faced by emerging countries when deciding to enter the global market. Thus, the initiative behind Urocoin and the Uro ecosystem overall, focuses on facilitating local producers to gain access to much greater opportunities, through a "top-to-bottom" strategy.
The Uro Foundation is composed of 4 NIER members, which are urea wholesalers that had ratified the Uro protocol and had accepted URO as a mean of payment for urea shipments. The Board is composed of Green Earth Systems Ltd. (HK), Crown Team Corporation (China), Urea Trading India and CCL Pillay Group (South Africa). Although the foundation configuration would typically make anyone worry about potential cartel-ish decisions, Huang believes in a more optimistic ending.
The whole idea of Urocoin came to him through his former position at Green Earth Systems Ltd. (GES). Uro Foundation Board member and CEO and co-founder of Green Earth Systems Ltd. Nilesh Naire said his company was directly "approached by Bohan." "He had a new concept, we had a problem," continued the executive. "Additionally, it was difficult to understand the concept of the Urocoin and digital currencies. The more we researched it, the more it made sense. We looked at the benefits for Green Earth, and it suited us." Naire explained:
"The benefits of the Urocoin, we looked at it as a store of value, as well as the trading value, so the time, hours; it did save us more than 21 days. So that was quite interesting. We looked at it also as a promotion point, because we always deal with government contracts [...] and also, it increased our clientele base, at least 10% in the last year.
"We are part of the Foundation. At this stage, we are the major part of the Foundation [...] We're accepting urocoins in exchange of urea."
Naire's incentives seem clear and GES' acceptance of Urocoin is said to have benefit his company. While the entrepreneur demonstrated an elaborate speech on Urocoin's benefits, he was rather indisposed to tell me the sorts of activities his company was doing, cutting short the conversation with a "talk to Bohan about all this," telling me "Bohan will fill in with the information."
A lot of speculations have been spread by media outlets, accusing Urocoin and the Uro Foundation, of operating a well thought out scam. Notably, the media had pointed out the lack of transparency from the Foundation members, as well as controversial websites and social media accounts, allegedly created to lure potential investors and embellish the coin's branding through fake tweets and content.
When asking Huang how they manage all the scam allegations, he said they were "just ignoring them," because they "know it isn't real."
Urocoin was introduced to the public with a sexy pitch of being a "crypto-commodity." This innovative concept of pegging 1 URO on 1 metric ton of urea, seduced investors and supporters, who fairly saw through Urocoin a smart and ludic way of using the technology underlying cryptocurrencies to "answer real life issues." Not only did speakers overly used this argument to support the Uro project during interventions, it was also repeatedly mentioned during small talks at coffee break and dinner.
Even how charming the concept of a "crypto-commodity" might seem, 1 URO is far from being worth 1 metric ton of urea at the moment. Given the URO/BTC price at 0.005 BTC, BTC/USD at US$350 and the urea metric ton at US$325.63, as of September 2014, this makes URO worth as little as US$1.75, far behind from what it is supposed to be worth. Huang explained this ambivalence as one of their mistakes:
"Basically, we released too fast. [...] The release schedule was too short. We shouldn't have released all the 1 million urocoins in the first 6 months; it should have been spread out across 3 years. This was something we could not have predicted."
My dinner table neighbor introduced himself as Tucker Waterman, co-founder of VC investment firm Focus Investments. Focus Investments was earlier introduced by his colleague, Celu, who intervened for a brief speech in support of Uro. Waterman said his company invested in urocoins, and that, as of today, he was attending the conference to decide whether or not he should invest more money.
After asking Waterman for his contact information, and checking the domain name referred in his email address, it turned out that the domain name focusinvestments.co shows an empty website. Digging into the whois information, we learn that focusinvestments.co is registered since June 2014, by registrant Johnny Steindorff, a Malibu-based real estate agent.
Celambarasan Ramasamy said Tucker Waterman, Johnny Steindorff and himself, partnered up to create Focus Investments. Ramasamy and Waterman are involved in the Hollywood film industry, while Steidnoff has a real estate background.
During the conference, 9 people intervened to either support and share positive arguments in favor of the Uro project, or promote their own businesses. Notably, Joshua Bouw from Blackcoin was invited to talk about the altcoin he represented, but also Joshua Zeidner, who is said to be the creator of Polychains and Staked Proof of Work, and a representative from white label cryptocurrency exchange platform VBBB.com.
Fictional writer Paul Story also spoke and made a speech, basically on how innovative and genius was the whole idea of Urocoin. Digging into the speakers list, I could only find Joshua Bouw's virtual presence on various social media. Paul Story has a small profile page where he summarizes his writing career and seems to have no involvement whatsoever with the crypto community, while the name of Joshua Zeidner should sound familiar to anyone that has been involved in the NXT community.
Joshua Zeidner, aka Blue Meanie, is the man that allegedly stole 1,000,000 NXT to the community. Cointelegraph covered the story and made an extended investigation, which can be found here. Additionally, I could not find anything related to Zeidner's Polychains project either.

Finally, Huang concluded the conference with URO's new projects, including the creation of the Block Chain Foundation, "a non-profit organization [...] striving to encourage block chain adoption to facilitate dialogue with external industries, to foster talent and provide a means for developers to achieve their potential, thinkers to express and expand ideas, and organizations to understand, develop and adopt block chain technology," reads the official presentation.
Further, URO announced the launch of Uroex, a multinational fiat to blockchain currency exchange, which is said to be owned by a European holding firm; and Nuro, an open source blockchain currency banking application for non-technical users. Last but not least, URO is planning on launching other "crypto-commodities," including ones that would be backed by DAP (diammonium phosphate), sugar, soy and wheat.
Talking to Huang at the end of conference, he said he was "really satisfied with the event," and when asking him how many people he was expecting in the first place, he said a hundred. On this Wednesday, October 29, afternoon, at the luxurious InterContinental in Hong Kong, we were a total of 20 people (I counted). And among these 20 people, 8 were actual speakers.
Huang said he had contacted media outlets, but few responded, and among those, some had flight/booking troubles. I was actually the only person representing a media outlet at the event.
The URO team obviously has a lot of projects and ambitions when it comes to commodity-backed digital currencies. But before expecting anyone to back this whole project, there are still questionable statements and behaviors that should be clarified, as: Who were really these people at the Urose 2014 conference? Why aren't we able to find any reliable document on the different businesses that are said to be involved in the URO ecosystem? And overall, what was this whole staging all about?

So we released Sniffy's Flip Trip over at http://www.explatcreations.com/sniffy.html yesterday (FREE!), to little fanfare, but that's probably because we hadn't contacted the press earlier, which might've been a good idea. I'm hoping they start publishing about it soon, because it would be nice if people played it, but what can you do!
I find that whenever I make a game, waiting for people to get back to me about it is always the hardest. Game development is not good for people without patience, and the fact that the game is completed and there isn't really anything left to do on it. Time to start another game!
In other news, it seems like Amalgames might be slowing down considerably since Explat Creations is my new venture. There are pluses and minuses to working with other people, but the biggest plus will probably be the ability to make games quicker than working alone. This also has me focusing on art and music and not on programming. I feel weird calling myself an artist, but I guess I am one now!

Warren Harmon Lewis
Minnie Lois Fletcher
Dimensions: 32.25 x 23.5 in.
Lewis, an embryologist at Johns Hopkins, was born in Suffield, Connecticut. He attended the University of Michigan, graduating with a B.S. in 1894, and remained there for two years working on the staff of the zoology department before beginning medical school. In 1900, Lewis received his medical degree from Johns Hopkins. He joined the faculty in the department of anatomy at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine the same year.
During his more than fifty years of active research, Lewis made significant contributions to the basic knowledge of embryology and mammalian cell physiology. His early research on the development of the egg laid the groundwork for studies in modern embryology. Most of Lewis' cellular research was done in collaboration with his wife, Margaret Reed Lewis, a student and protégé of Thomas Hunt Morgan. She was one of the first researchers to culture mammalian cells in vitro. Together, the Lewises made large strides in growing mammalian cells in "defined medium," one that contained only known constituents, and in describing subcellular components, including the nucleus, cytoplasm and mitochondria.
Lewis was probably best known for his pioneering microscopic cinematography, which began in 1928. He was the first to film the fertilization and development of a mammalian egg, in 1929, a film which was featured in The Century of Progress Exposition in the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. Lewis found that the use of time-lapse cinematography allowed him to speed up on the screen phenomena that were too slow to be seen and understood by direct observation. The cell activity pinocytosis (cell drinking) was first described and named by Lewis through time-lapse photographic methods. His films were widely distributed to teaching facilities, and thousands of students had a chance to see living cells in action.
Lewis' achievements were recognized by the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1913, when he was named professor of physiological anatomy. Lewis was also a research associate of the Carnegie Institution of Washington's Department of Embryology from 1919 to 1940. The Lewises received the William Wood Gerhard Gold Medal in 1938 and the Harrison Prize from the International Society of Cell Biology in 1960 for their outstanding contributions to research.
Lewis published over 150 articles on anatomy, embryology, cytology, and cancer cells and was the first to publish in an article in the American Journal of Anatomy in 1901 when it began its publication. He was a member of the National Academy of Sciences and served as president of the American Association of Anatomists and of the International Society for Experimental Cytology.

The Belgian Council of Ministers has proposed a draft Royal Decree to implement a new work permit exemption for students following an internship in Belgium.
In case this draft Royal Decree is accepted non-EEA students will be exempted from the obligation to hold a valid work permit to follow an internship in Belgium within the framework of their studies at an institution of education in Belgium, Switzerland or another country of the European Economic Area.
Example: An American student following a master's in engineering at a university in Switzerland must follow an internship as part of their course. The student would like to do an internship in Belgium and thanks to the new rules, they could follow this internship without the need for a work permit.
PLEASE NOTE: The draft Royal Decree has not yet been approved.
