UGA Entrepreneurial Week announced
by James Hataway
Thinc. at UGA
Athens, Ga. – The University of Georgia will host Entrepreneurial Week, March 22-29, to foster economic development in the region and provide inspiration and advice to those contemplating a plunge into the competitive and exciting world of entrepreneurship.
The week-long celebration of entrepreneurship is part of Thinc. at UGA, a new initiative that brings together entrepreneurship experts from industry and academia with faculty, alumni, students and members of the local community in Athens and across the state. Throughout Entrepreneurial Week, lectures, workshops, panel discussions, competitions, and networking events promise to engage, inspire and build the confidence that will help take business ideas from concept to reality.
"UGA has a number of programs, some quite well established, that encourage and reward entrepreneurship," said David Lee, UGA vice president for research. "We want to give them the visibility they deserve both on and off campus."
"Our goals are to draw attention to these efforts and to fill in the gaps with additional programs that will more broadly engage the community," he said.
Entrepreneurial Week includes a workshop on turning research into a business; panel discussions for student entrepreneurs; a science and engineering fair; lessons on the use of social media; a panel on social entrepreneurship; and keynote talks from current and former members of Singularity University, a Silicon Valley ideas incubator that seeks to solve the planet's most pressing challenges using advanced technologies.
Numerous events are also planned to showcase existing entrepreneurial efforts led by UGA faculty and alumni, who will provide useful lessons based on real-world experiences.
"Our research universities and particularly the land grants should be at the tip of the spear when it comes to promoting economic development and finding solutions to societal problems," Lee said. "Encouraging entrepreneurship across campus, from the arts to the social and natural sciences, is an important part of fulfilling this mission and one that deserves greater focus."

Cloud growing in Asia, but companies face new challenges
By Edwin Yapp November 5, 2012
More companies, including those in Malaysia, are embracing the cloud in Asia Pacific, according to a new study by Forrester
With adoption comes new challenges: Skills to deal with cloud implementation; and broadband infrastructure cost and reliability
CLOUD computing has attained wider adoption and more companies are opened to its use in enterprises across Asia, although there are still some challenges arising from companies adopting the cloud, according to a new study by Forrester Research.
Speaking to the media last week, Michael Barnes (pic), vice president and research director of Forrester Research, said that 75% of Asia Pacific organizations have a strong understanding of cloud computing.
Along with this, 67% believe that their IT organizations are ready to run the company's most strategic apps in either a private or hybrid cloud environment, but the higher adoption rates also brings with it new challenges, the analyst noted.
Dubbed the VMware Cloud Index, the online-based survey queried 4,799 senior IT practitioners across Asia Pacific (including Japan) in September 2012. Comissioned by the cloud and virtualization player, the countries covered in the survey included Australia, Singapore, India, Taiwan, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Korea, Thailand, and China, and the survey is in its third year running.
In Malaysia, the survey polled 49 senior influencers of IT in multinationals, 44 in local/ regional companies, and 16 in public sector organizations, or a total 109 IT professionals.
Barnes said that across Asia Pacific generally, the maturity of cloud computing has progressed, noting that 74% of respondents view the cloud as top priority or highly relevant to their respective organizations.
"This percentage rises to 88% for very large organizations of over 10,000 employees and stands at about 68% for small organizations of fewer than 500 employees," he said.
Also interesting was the fact that nearly 80% of respondent believe that the cloud can help them compete more effectively in the marketplace, and that nearly 70% believe that by failing to pursue cloud initiatives their companies risk falling behind their competitors, Barnes noted.
Malaysian trends, challenges faced
The Malaysia-specific survey results were encouraging as 36% of companies surveyed are "currently using" cloud computing and 40% are "currently planning" to use cloud in the coming year.
Barnes pointed out that the above cumulative figure of 76% (36%+40%) was above the regional average of 74%. "Seven in 10 respondents also believe that cloud computing makes their jobs less complex," he added.
Notwithstanding this, the VMware Cloud Index study also revealed some significant challenges for those who have adopted or are about to adopt the cloud. The first had to do with lack of control over employee access to non-sanctioned, third-party applications, while the second had to with the reliable and affordable broadband infrastructure needed for the cloud computing to thrive.
Barnes said that while 56% of Malaysia respondents believe that their organizations currently have the skills and infrastructure necessary to create and manage a private cloud, only 19% believe that they are successfully managing the use of cloud-based services within the organization.
Asked why this was so, Barnes acknowledged that the survey did not explore this question in an in-depth manner. But he added that this could be attributed to the fact that senior executives in the survey felt that they did not have control over what applications their employees use, including those popular ones offered by third-party, app-based public cloud providers such as Dropbox.
Laurence Si, country manager of VMware Malaysia, said that organizations need to be agile not only with technology, but with their people.
"As customers leverage cloud computing to fuel their growth, IT needs to be equipped to plan, develop and deploy cloud solutions that are aligned to the organization's needs," said Si. That is why VMware organizes enablement platforms throughout the year to help customers stay at the forefront of the latest industry developments, he added.
But perhaps more worrying was the fact that along with Thailand and Indonesia, Malaysian survey respondents cited access to reliable and affordable broadband as a key concern and barrier to cloud adoption over the traditional challenges of data privacy, security and sovereignty usually cited as barriers to adoption.
Ahmad Azhar Yahya (pic, courtesy of Oracle Flickr stream), CEO of VADS, noted that there are still challenges of broadband connectivity especially in the area of local access.
Also a panelist at the press briefing, Ahmad Azhar said there were two connectivity types: "The first is between data centers and private clouds. These are pretty much driven by customers requirements and this is not an issue. However, if you're talking about public connectivity, public Internet access, then it's subjective and will depend on how the public views this."
Asked if he believed this cost of connection would go down in future, the CEO of Telekom Malaysia's wholly-owned managed service provider said, "This is subject to many things such as infrastructure costs, where the services are located, and whether they are offshore or on onshore. If they are offshore, the cost will be much higher."
Barnes noted that while respondents in these three countries cited broadband infrastructure issues as their main concerns, this does not mean that the traditional issues of data sovereignty, privacy and security weren't present.
"Companies are still concerned with such issues; it's just that for these countries, the survey revealed these challenges as the most pertinent."

Failure can knock self-worth surprisingly early
Failure can instill discouragement in children sooner than previously thought, research shows.
by James Devitt-NYU Aug 28, 2017 2 minutes
Young children's sense of self is not much different from than that of older kids and adults, new research suggests.
Children are "not the undaunted optimists that previous theories have described."
The results show that our ability to reason about our self-worth as individuals develops early in life, but also suggest that failure can instill discouragement sooner than previously thought.
"Young children's self-concepts are not qualitatively different from those of older children and adults," explains Andrei Cimpian, an associate professor in New York University's psychology department and the study's senior author.
"Young children can think of themselves as possessing abstract traits and abilities, and they can also reason about their self-worth, which has implications for self-esteem," Cimpian says.
"However, this level of maturity in reasoning about the self also means that young children can become dispirited in the face of failure and are not the undaunted optimists that previous theories have described. In light of this new work, we need to think carefully about, and investigate, ways of supporting young children's motivation and engagement with important—but often difficult—activities such as school."
It has long been thought that young children think of themselves in concrete, behavioral terms and, unlike adults or older children, are cognitively incapable of reasoning about their traits or their worth as individuals.
The researchers tested this belief, aiming to understand if young children can think about themselves in terms of general traits and abilities (e.g. "I'm smart") and judge their global worth as individuals—or if they are largely focused on concrete behaviors and outcomes (e.g. "I got a good grade").
To answer this question, the researchers conducted a series of studies of children ranging from four to seven years old.
Researchers presented participants with several hypothetical scenarios—commonly employed in psychology research for this age group—that varied in several respects. In them, the children were asked to imagine they could not complete a task (e.g. solving a puzzle) despite "trying really hard."
In some cases, they were told the task was easy (e.g. drawing the sun) and in others that it was difficult (e.g. drawing a horse). In addition, some children were informed the task was done at the request of an adult (a parent or teacher) while others were told it was self-initiated.
They were then asked questions about their abilities (e.g. "Does not drawing the sun/horse right make you feel like you're good at drawing or not good at drawing?") and their global sense of self-worth (e.g. "Does not finishing the puzzle make you feel like a good boy/girl or not a good boy/girl?"). At the end of the sessions, children acted out positive scenarios and were debriefed.
The results showed that children as young as four can flexibly reason about their abilities and their global sense of self-worth based on the context of their behavior.
For example, children lowered their estimation of their abilities, but not their global self-worth, when told they failed an easy, as opposed to hard, task. Conversely, they lowered their estimation of their global self-worth, but not their abilities, when informed they failed an adult-requested (vs. self-initiated) task—in other words, adult involvement could negatively affect self-esteem, independent of the task.
"This evidence reveals surprising continuity between young children's self-concepts and those of older children and adults," Cimpian observes. "However, more importantly, our findings show the impact others can have on young children's sense of self-worth at a very young age.
"It is therefore important for both parents and educators to understand that our children may become more discouraged than we previously realized and find ways to foster a productive learning environment."
The National Science Foundation funded the research, which appears in the journal Child Development. Additional researchers contributing to the work are from New Zealand's Victoria University of Wellington and the University of Illinois.

"The great object of life is sensation--to feel that we exist, even in pain."
George Gordon Noel Byron was born in London on January 22, 1788. As a child, his club-foot was worsened by the treatments of quack doctors, and his unbalanced mother habitually referred to him as her "little lame brat." His father, Captain John ("Mad Jack") Byron, drank himself to death by the time the boy was 3 and also managed to squander most of his wife's fortune.
Mother and son were left to grapple not only with poverty, but with a temperamental relationship with each other that alternated between outbursts of temper and maudlin fits of affection. One evening, in the course of an argument, his mother attempted to beat Byron to death with a pair of fire tongs. Meanwhile, his nurse abused him in a more gentle manner, managing to seduce the handsome young master when he was only 9 years old.
A year later, an uncle died, making Byron the 6th Baron Byron of Rochedale. With the title came a sizable inheritance and a measure of independence. The young lord was soon shipped off to Harrow School--glad to escape both mother and nurse.
Byron was beautiful, with fierce, clear, blue-gray eyes, a fine straight nose, full lips, and a delicately chiseled chin. He had chestnut hair (which he pinned up nightly) and a fair alabaster complexion. A lifelong tendency to overweight was overcome only by starvation diets and the continuous consumption of laxatives. A little over 5'7", Byron always walked with a limp. Self-conscious, he made great efforts to overcome his physical shortcomings by excelling in sports, including boxing, fencing, riding, cricket, and swimming.
At Cambridge, Byron was an indifferent student, and in order to amuse himself he kept both a tame bear and a mistress whom he liked to dress as a boy. After graduation, he lived with his mother briefly, but soon found himself bored with their quarrels and decided to leave England. He and a friend boarded a ship for Lisbon. From there he toured Spain, riding 500 mi. on horseback to Cadiz and other cities before going on to other Mediterranean countries.
When he returned to England he had in hand the 1st 2 cantos of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, a thinly veiled autobiographical account of his travels. When published, this long romantic poem caused a national sensation and established its author as a public figure. Though he received a fortune in royalty payments, Byron gave away most of the money in order to maintain his image as an aristocratic amateur. His readings--in some of London's most fashionable homes--became famous, and though his singsong voice was not entirely pleasant, it did little to distract his fans. Women chased him, adored him, and tried to possess him. One eccentric blueblood, Lady Caroline Lamb, pursued him everywhere and climaxed her passion with a scene at a masked ball in which she cut herself and fell to the ground in a pool of blood.

Appropriate subcellular localization of proteins is crucial for regulating their functions. Both p53 and the BH3-only Bid play roles in the development and the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. Bid genomic loci contain p53-binding DNA response elements and Bid can mediate p53-dependent transactivation. However, how these molecules function in the liver cells is not completely known. In this study, liver cells were stimulated by etoposide to damage DNA, and the location and the interaction of Bid and p53 were examined by Western blot, immonocchemical staining, immunoprecipitation and siRNA methods. Our data showed that etoposide-induced DNA damage significantly induced p53 and Bid nuclear export. When cells were stimulated by etoposide, p53 could, through the interaction with Bid, cause translocation of Bid from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and on to its ultimate location in the mitochondria. Moreover, p53 physically associated with Bid, and both p53 and Bid cooperatively promoted cell death induced by etoposide. Knockdown of Bid expression notably attenuated cell death induced by etoposide and also released p53 from the mitochondria. In conclusion, these findings reveal a novel mechanism how p53 facilitates Bid nuclear export and how both of them interact in the nucleus and the mitochondria to induce apoptosis in response to etoposide-induced DNA damage.

Brief review: The Great Waltz
Thread: Brief review: The Great Waltz
May-03-2019, 16:16 #1
Jon Corelis
The Great Waltz is a classic "Hollywoodization" bio-pic, one which hardly pretends to be accurate, but which uses the life story of a historical character as a basis for atmosphere and entertainment. In this case the subject is "The Waltz King" Johann Strauss II, who was responsible for the craze for the dance that conquered Vienna and much of Europe in the mid 19th century. Made in 1938 by veteran director Julien Duvivier, who made umpteen films during his long career, most of them forgotten today except for the classic Pepe le Moko, The Great Waltz is endearingly filled with schmaltz and cliche, and features the absolutely incredible soprano vocals of Miliza Korjus (she was Oscar nominated for best supporting actress.). All in all, an enjoyable light entertainment. I saw this in the Turner Entertainment standard DVD which was of acceptable quality. It's also available in other DVDs and from streaming sites.

Home » Famous People » Caitlyn Jenner
Caitlyn Jenner- Formerly known as Bruce Jenner, is a retired Olympian and now is a famous TV personality. Jenner is one of the most famous transgender women due to her the TV show, The Kardashians.
Caitlyn Jenner Religion
Caitlyn is Christian. The Christian community is not responding well to a celebrity changing genders in the public eye while representing their religion. A pastor from Arizona believes Jenner should be killed and he even prayed for God to rip out her heart!
Caitlyn Jenner Political Views
Jenner is a Republican. She is conservative and is very vocal about her beliefs. Although the LGBT criticizes her for being conservative, she believes that she still fits within the party. Bruce Jenner was a Republican as well so this is most likely why her beliefs haven't changed.
Caitlyn Jenner Hobbies
When Caitlyn was still Bruce Jenner she liked working out, playing golf, and flying RC helicopters. I'm sure the recent transition hasn't changed much in terms of what she likes to do.
What is her Workout Routine
Caitlyn still rides her mountain bike because she claims it is easier on the knees. She has done so for the last 25 years, averaging about an hour each day. When asked if she does strength training she explained that she focuses on exercising the heart and lungs.
What are her beliefs on Gay Marriage
Caitlyn is fully supportive of gay marriage and was even overjoyed by the legalization. However, she doesn't want to give Obama all the credit as she is still remaining true to her political beliefs. The republican party is bashing her with onslaughts and she hasn't switched sides, yet.
What is her Horoscope
Some people give Caitlyn a new astrology sign due to the day and month she announced she was no longer Bruce Jenner. Bruce was a Scorpio but if we look at the public "birth" of her, then she is a Gemini.
Is Caitlyn dating anyone?
Currently she isn't, but recent news has said that Candis Cayne (also transgender) has asked out Caitlyn to dinner. The pair has been pretty close the past few months and they were even seen walking on stage to the ESPY awards together.
Summary of Caitlyn Jenner
She is a republican and a Christian despite the fact that pastors, conservatives, and a big chunk of the Christian population is calling for her head. She is now a transgender individual, which seems to be worse today in our society than just being gay so I believe it's a matter of time before she casts her vote for the Democratic Party. Bruce was born a Scorpio but some believe that her rebirth gave her a new identity and also a new astrology sign, Gemini. Bruce loved to fly RC helicopters and there hasn't been reports of her doing this but it is believed she stills loves to do the same hobbies. She works out on a mountain bike and has been for the last 25 years since she/Bruce was in the 1976 Olympics. She says focusing on the heart and lungs is crucial for health and also staying calm.

Nurses in Kentucky, Southern Indiana chosen for 3rd annual Nightingale Awards
UofL School of Nursing honors exceptional RNs following in footsteps of modern nursing founder
and Hayley Kappes
Six nurses in Kentucky and Southern Indiana who have improved the lives of patients, their community and the profession have been chosen as recipients of the 3rd annual University of Louisville School of Nursing Florence Nightingale Awards.
The winners, as well as six honorable mentions and nearly 80 other nominees, will be recognized at the Nightingale Awards dinner on Nov. 3 at the Mellwood Arts Center.
"We are very proud to honor six extremely talented and devoted registered nurses from Kentucky and Southern Indiana who have diligently and compassionately served patients across the lifespan," said Marcia J. Hern, EdD, CNS, RN, UofL School of Nursing dean. "Any one of us would want such a nurse to be there for us, our family and our friends in times of need."
The six honorees are:
Hilary Deskins, BSN, RN, is manager of Cancer Prevention Services at KentuckyOne Health. Deskins oversees KentuckyOne Health's lung cancer screening program, one of the largest in the nation, as well as the colon cancer screening program. She developed and initiated patient educational strategies for cancer screenings and works with community organizations to promote screening. Deskins also has made impacts nationally. In October 2015, she advocated the importance of lung cancer screening to members of the U.S. Congress. Deskins and KentuckyOne Health were recognized by national advocacy group Lung Cancer Alliance as leaders in early detection and treatment of the disease.
Anthony Frazier, BSN, RN, worked as a chef for several years before deciding at the age of 45 to earn a bachelor's degree in nursing. He most recently worked as a patient care manager at Amedysis Hospice in Jeffersonville, Indiana, caring for end-of-life patients. He actively volunteers at the Wayside Christian Mission, serving Louisville's homeless population by working with men in the workforce development program. Frazier has battled a rare soft-tissue cancer in his leg and eventually had to have the leg amputated. He then had severe heart failure and is awaiting a heart transplant. Frazier's health challenges, however, have not deterred his social work.
Mimi McKay, EdD, MSN, PMHNP-BC, is an associate professor at Indiana University Southeast School of Nursing, who previously served as dean of the school, and has been a psychiatric nurse practitioner for the past 26 years. In addition to educating nursing students, McKay works as an advanced practice nurse at Boys & Girls Haven, a nonprofit organization that serves abandoned, abused and neglected children. Her work with abused and sexually assaulted women and children through the partnership she started with the Center for Women and Families and IU Southeast has had lasting impacts for victims and nursing students.
Emily Neal, BSN, RN, SANE, is a forensic nurse specialist at the University of Louisville Kosair Charities Division of Pediatric Forensic Medicine. Neal evaluates children who are suspected victims of abuse and neglect and ensures that perpetrators of abuse are prosecuted via legal testimony. In doing so, victims are removed from abusive or neglectful situations and their abusers are put to justice. Neal teaches parents about stress coping techniques that prevent abuse and educates medical and nursing students on identifying even minute abuse indicators. She is an appointed member of the Kentucky Children's Justice Act Task Force, a multi-jurisdictional and interdisciplinary committee that develops policy and education aimed at improving outcomes for children.
Deborah Reed, PhD, MSPH, RN, FAAOHN, FAAN, University of Kentucky College of Nursing Distinguished Service Professor and Good Samaritan Endowed Chair, has raised awareness about on-the-job health risks that farmers face. Reed created the Farm Theater Dinner intervention to inspire farmers to think about occupational health, safety and disease prevention on the farm. Her research has shown that health lectures and pamphlets have little impact on farmers, who don't have time in their demanding work schedules to attend educational meetings. The dinners provide a farmer-centered approach for families to share stories and find solutions for health and safety. Reed founded the UK College of Nursing Occupational Health Nurse PhD Program.
Laura Ware, RN, ADN, works at the Crestview Center in Shelbyville where she treats short and long-term care patients and educates and counsels families about making critical treatment decisions. When a person enters a residential nursing facility, it can be a lonely and frightening experience for the patient and the family. Often in these cases, patients have lost a spouse or partner, careers have ended and they have lost their independence. Ware comforts these patients when they are scared and lonely, reassuring them with a calm demeanor and excellent care.

EMO Case Story: Plagued by Panic Attacks
EMO Trainer & author Dr. Eric Robins shows just how quick EMO can work, even when facing a problem that has been engrained in the client's energy system for 5 years.
Dr Robins writes: About one month ago I was seeing a gentleman in the emergency room. We got to talking about some of the mind-body healing stuff that I do. His wife perked up and asked me if I thought EMO could help her.
Added Jul 19, 2013 | Dr. Eric Robins | EMO Energy In Motion | 10,319 Reads
She explained that about 5 years earlier, when she was 55 years old, she had her first asthma attack and it almost killed her. Every day since then, she was plagued by panic attacks and could feel her lungs tightening up. She said that her adult son lived with her and spent about half of his free time every day "talking her down" from the anxiety. I had her think about the initial asthma attack and she immediately got a panicked look on her face. I said, "Notice where you feel that in your body" and her hands went to her upper chest. I said, "Notice the raw sensation in that part of your body right at this moment, that is the feeling of stuck energy, and energy is meant to soften and flow. Allow it to soften and flow and find it's way through and out."
Within one minute the energy had flowed up into her throat, then into her shoulders and then down and out of her hands with 70% relief. We did one more round of Emotrance which left her in an energized end state, and unable to get any trace of emotion, anxiety or panic back.
I saw her back in the office today and she reported 100% relief of her symptoms and was ecstatic!!
Actually there was a nurse that night in the ER who had heard about my work and wanted to watch the session, and she literally almost lost it; I mean she almost passed out. It was such a fast shift and so thorough, and so far beyond anything that had previously been in her belief system, and the woman client was so energized and shifted so fast before our eyes...


The thing about being a 20-something young professional is that time seems to fly by on the one hand but somehow drag on at the same time. One minute you've graduated college and started a career, and somewhere along the way you find yourself talking about life-altering decisions. I've just started a new job and I can tell you that it wasn't an easy decision to leave my old job. I took some time to think it over, and ultimately decided it was time to move on. Looking back, it was a season.
So often we forget to be 'present'. It may sound cliche, but when was the last time you looked around and really thought 'I will never get this time in my life back again'?
Because at the end of the day, the way your life looks now, whether that be busy, quiet, rushed, stressful, exciting, frustrating or a little bit of everything – it will only be this way for a season.
So try to enjoy the moments that you feel frustrated or the moments when your life may feel 'quiet' while the world is spinning around you, because at some point you will look back and wish you would have cherished it more. It is so easy to focus on all the things that are 'going wrong' in your life – but what about the things that are going right? If you don't have kids yet, how easy is it to just decide to go out for dinner at a moment's notice? Or perhaps your life has a very 'predictable' routine, but doesn't that bring so much security? Whatever it may be, it is a season – ENJOY it.
I love your words, Breanna. It's so true that life is just a changing of seasons, and no season is ever quite the same.
I can tell you to enjoy this time in your life.
I wish that I could go back to my 20's. Things for me seemed so unsure and not at all like I planned my path. But I look back on it now and wish I had rolled with it, instead of struggling with it.
I hope your new job will be fabulous, just as you are. It's good to make a change and take on a new adventure.
Love reading this Bree! Believing for this to be an amazing next chapter in your life ?

CATHOLIC SCHOOL: Smiling Student In Video Tells Different Story
Written By: Don Juan Fasho
The Covington Catholic High School student wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat and seen smirking at Native American veteran Nathan Phillips says the now-viral video does not tell the whole story.
Nick Sandmann, a junior at the school, says he and his classmates have been unfairly accused of harassing Phillips. The video appears to show the students mocking Phillips and his fellow protesters from the Indigenous People's March. Sandmann is seen standing face to face with him, smirking, as Phillips chants and beats his drum.
The video sparked outrage and led school officials to consider whether some students should be expelled. But Sandmann has issued a statement explaining his side of the story. He says the students, who had participated in the March for Life, were waiting for their buses to arrive when a small group of protesters started shouting things at them.
Sandmann says their chaperones gave them permission to sing their school spirit song in response. While they were singing, he says Phillips and his fellow protesters approached them. Other videos appear to back up his claim. Sandmann insists he was not trying intimidate or harass Phillips. He says he felt like Phillips was trying to incite a confrontation and he only stood there smiling to show that he would not engage him.
Fasho Thoughts:
The school is considering expelling some of the students, so it's important to get to the bottom of what really happened.
This whole thing may have been one giant misunderstanding. The students were chanting their school spirit song which Phillips and his fellow protesters may have misinterpreted as taunting or mocking.
Even if Phillips tried to incite a confrontation, the students should have ignored him and their chaperones should have done something to break it up.
But still, it's hard to look at the kid's smirk and not want to wipe it off his face.

Triangle Equities approached us with a need to introduce an innovative warehousing concept with best-in-class space and ease of access to JFK airport and major roadways, facilitating air logistics and e-commerce distribution operations.
Our teams ultimately chose Terminal Logistics Center, transforming the brand to represent the constant action and operations taking place. It was essential that the new name for the Triangle Equities project communicated the breadth and capabilities of the development.
How memorable is this name?
How reputable does this name sound?
How strongly is this name tethered to its location?
Our color scheme stayed true to the Triangle Equities branding palette, and was balanced by a neutralizing gray. We created a gradient version of the logo, signifying the transient nature of the facility. Hidden within the logo are the letters 'T' 'L' and 'C'.
1 Our color scheme stayed true to the Triangle Equities branding palette, and was balanced by a neutralizing gray in the accompanying text.
2 The shape of an airplane can be seen within the negative space of the logo. The negative space also doubles as an arrow-like shape, representing the forward direction of the activities within TLC. We created a gradient version of the logo, signifying the transient nature of the facility.
3 Hidden within the logo are the letters 'T' 'L' and 'C,, 'T' and 'L' can be found within the negative space and 'C' can be detected in yellow.
Barlow is a very structured and narrow typeface that resonated well with TLC's content and mission. In opting for a highly stylized font, we found the font was bold enough to convey TLC's messaging, but subtle enough to balance out the featured imagery throughout the site.
With over 200,000 VPD, and hundreds of thousands of passengers at JFK daily, TLC offers one-of-a-kind exposure and exceptional branding opportunities for prominent tenant logos on the building.
In designing the Terminal Logistics Center website, we wanted the development plans and aerial renderings to truly shine through and be the centerpiece of the design. We added a parallax and reveal effects engage visitors as they navigate through the website for an enhanced user experience.
As the development is constructed, we anticipate providing continued support of the TLC brand both inside and outside of the facility.
Positioning the development before all prospective audiences meant designing a website with an excellent informational hierarchy. As the first vertical air cargo development on the East Coast, it was crucial that our website created a platform to introduce and highlight the site plans, letting the Terminal Logistics Center speak for itself.
By designing a seamless user experience for visitors across all browsers and devices, we successfully created a custom solution for all targeted audiences with intuitive navigation and contact information.
As the only facility of its kind on the East Coast, we are thrilled to be able to get in on the ground floor of such a significant landmark. Looking ahead, our team anticipates developing the brand further as well as helping to drive awareness to prospective tenants and the surrounding community.


Swim Safe, a national programme offering free outdoor swimming and water safety sessions for children aged 7–14, will be returning to Sandhaven beach this summer. The initiative will also be running for the first time at Longsands beach.
The programme will take place at Longsands from 2 to 12 August and at Sandhaven from 16 to 26 August.
The hour-long Swim Safe sessions are run by qualified swimming teachers and qualified lifeguards, supported by a team of trained volunteers. The first 20 minutes covers land-based safety and then it is into the water for practical tuition with a swimming teacher. Wetsuits, swimming hats and a free goody bag with a tee-shirt are all provided. Children must be able to swim at least 25 metres to take part.
Since Swim Safe started in 2013 (with just one site in Bude, Cornwall), over 18,000 sessions have taken place across the UK. Now in its fifth year, the programme continues to grow and in 2017, Swim Safe sessions will take place at over 20 sites across the UK including beaches, lakes, reservoirs and other inland locations.

so jump to call then "the strings address will be pushed onto the stack as
the return address" . Is it this address saved in esi why pop esi ?

A: This is the common way to write position-independent code (code that can be successfully executed, regardless of what address it is located at).
The call instruction does two things:

*

*Pushes the return address (the address of the instruction immediately following the call) onto the stack

*Jumps to the address specified.

So after the call, the address of the string "/bin/sh" is on the stack. The next instruction, pop esi, takes that address off the stack, and puts it in the esi register, so it can be used.

A: Well, when the call is executed, it pushes a return address (the address after the call opcode) onto the stack so that when ret is encountered (in normal operation), execution continues where it left off. This is the standard x86 calling convention.
In your code, the return address pushed is the location of "/bin/sh". pop %esi puts that value into the esi register, which is then as a pointer and passed to syscall 0xb which is execve on a linux system, executing the command named in your string.
There are lots of good resources on x86 calling conventions, of which I expect linux x86 would be of particular interest to you.

Essex Spartans vs. Kent Exiles
April 27, 2013 7:00 pm BAFA NL II South Central 2013
Kent Exiles 7 7 6 0 20 Win
Essex Spartans 0 0 0 12 12 Loss
We'd been waiting for this one. Rivalry game. Kent Exiles. Saturday Night Lights. Floodlit pitch at Hannakins Farm. Trophy on the line. But ultimately – we just couldn't get it done.
The Spartans showed signs of vast improvement from their opening-day defeat to the Blue Raiders to push the Exiles hard, but fell short. Down 0-20 going into the games final quarter, Essex fought back to score two touchdowns but were not able to take home the trophy, losing 12-20.
With a record crowd in excess of 100 people cheering the team on, the Spartans were fired up early. As the sun set, and the floodlights came on, you could feel something special in the air. This was an evening to remember.
The Spartans defense were able to force a three-and-out on the Exiles opening possession, but the Exiles defense were able to match that feat, forcing the home team to punt with on their first drive. Shortly after, Spartan quarterback Tom Cooke was forced to withdraw from the game through injury, thrusting diminutive backup Tom Overton-Smith into the lineup.
As Overton-Smith found his feet, the Exiles were able to capitalise on some early jitters from the Black Tide defense. Quarterback Zac Richie connected with receiver Alex Clifford for a long gain over the middle, and the pair connected again on the next play to leave the Spartans defensive backfield stunned as Clifford sprinted home for the score. The extra point attempt failed, giving the visitors an early 0-6 lead.
One score became two shortly after – with the Spartans offense struggling to move the ball, Richie again took to the air, hitting Colin Chislett for another aerial touchdown. With the conversion, the Exiles lead 0-13.
The Spartans showed signs of improvement in the second half. Overton-Smith, now settled into the game, was causing the Exiles defense headaches with his elusive scrambling style, and the Spartans were beginning to drive downfield, the first-year quarterback connecting with rookie receiver Norris Owusu for a long gain. However, the visitors were able to come up with the stops when they needed to, killing drives with interceptions or big 3rd-down stops.
Exiles running back Ben Abbott started to find holes in the Spartans defense, opening the final quarter by powering home for a 13-yard touchdown rumble. With the conversion failing, the Exiles pulled further away 0-20.
The Spartans opened their 2013 account on their next drive – Craig Willis looking like he was stuffed at the line, but somehow managing to burst through for a long touchdown run. The 2-point conversion attempt failed, but the gap was cut to 6-20.
With the home team defense now having the measure of the Exiles, the Spartans found themselves in a position to score shortly after. Lee Millar took the handoff and powered his way in for a 2-yard touchdown, sparking signs of jubilation on the Spartans sideline. Again, the 2-point conversion failed, but with the scoreline now 12-20, and with a little over 2 minutes to play, there was hope.
Sadly, however, hope was extinguished when Andy Clarke's attempted onside kick was recovered by the visitors, who ran out the clock to emerge victorious and claim the innugural Battle For The Bridge trophy.
"We were definitely slow out of the blocks which kept us on the back foot for the whole of the first half, but lessons were learned and the performance in the second half really showed this", said Spartans Head Coach Marc Saunders.
"A loss never feels good but the near-comeback showed that these Spartans have plenty of heart. Hopefully we can carry this on into next week's game."
Next up, the Milton Keynes Pathfinders visit Hannakins Farm for a battle of two winless teams. Neither will want to drop another game and find themselves at the foot of the table looking up, so the game promises to be a great one. Let's see you all there!
We hope to see plenty of our fans cheer us on as we look for our first victory of the season!
ROLL TIDE!


I was overjoyed when my uncle handed me a Kodak Camera and said: "This is yours now." I was seven in 1985, but my joy exceeded the joy of Armstrong when he walked the first steps of humanity on the moon. At that moment I owned what created joy and meaning in all my life. Starting that day, I spiritually moved through the years and felt blessed every time I looked through the glass lens of my camera. It was a piece of crystal, which transferred with transparency the beauty of a country I lived through, the beauty of the most ancient nations of the world – Syria – where everything started.
Before 2011 and continually; I was traveling all around Syria capturing beauty from all of its countrysides and its cities with no boredom, there was nothing could hit me with boredom in all the charm of Syria, especially for explorer photographer like me. Then I stopped photographing, but the smiling faces of Syrian refugees children in Jordan and Turkey.
Nowadays; and starting with 2014 I went back to my hobby so my first pleasure, while I'm taking photos capturing the beauty of Germany, and feel like am thanking the Germans for welcoming me, while my home and its neighbors have rejected me.

Designs for Eugene's Riverfront Park revealed
Over a hundred people attended a public meeting to review the design concepts.
Updated: Jul 20, 2018 12:19 AM
Photo Gallery 3 Images
EUGENE, Ore. -- Over a hundred people packed EWEB headquarters on Thursday night to see new design concepts for a future park on the downtown riverfront.
Leaders from the city's design team walked the audience through three different visions, answering questions and allowing people to vote on which one they liked best. Officials said the designs were the result of feedback they got from more than 1,700 community members.
The concepts are named: "Winding Paths," "Urban Amphitheater," and "River Terraces."
After the meeting, reviews seemed mostly positive.
"I think my only complaint or concern is we're getting right up to the river but we're not actually getting into the river," Salmon Norgaard-Stroich said. "I want to see the project have more access into the river."
"Eugene's got an awful lot of -- right across the river the trail system at Alton Baker Park -- the natural stuff," Charlie McKenna said. "So I guess something that's a little more urban."
The 4-acre city-owned park will be a key feature of the redevelopment project undertaken by the city and its lead developer, Portland-based Williams/Dame and Associates.
Emily Proudfoot, the city's project manager, said the final design plans will be unveiled at a celebration on Sept. 27. She said they hope to break ground in 2020 and be open in time for the IAAF World Championships in 2021.
The estimated cost of the park is between $10-12 million, Proudfoot said.

Find a comfortable space, either sit or lie in a relaxed position. As you become settled, begin to focus on your breath.
Inhale, then exhale at a comfortable pace - an even breath.
Continue your rhythmic breathing. If you become distracted refocus on your breath.
As you sink into comfort and relaxation, see yourself basking in a waterfall of sunlight and crystal water.
As the sun and water cascade over your body you absorb the healing oxygen carried within your blood vessels though your whole system.
The oxygen heals and releases the holding contraction of each muscle. Each muscle becomes taffy... soft and pliable.
All tension gives way to relaxation. The cascade of sunshine reminds you of the source of all energy.
Your whole being sings with release and renewal as the source refuels and fortifies your body and spirit.
In healing all is possible. As you heal your spirit and body your gifts to the universe emerge.
Your loving compassion explodes for sharing with your fellow travelers. As you heal yourself you heal all who cross your path. Your connection to others heals as you move to your new level of evolution.
You are the incarnation of universal healing. It begins with you.
The healing vision of cascading sunshine and water is yours whenever you want it to be. Come back to this space whenever you want to, know that this space is always available even for a moment.
Be aware once again of your breath.
Inhale... exhale as your re-enter the space around you. Open your eyes and carry your renewed energy to all with whom you come in contact.
