Veterinarians are calling for pet owners to be vigilant in preparation for fox baiting programs that will be carried out in Sydney's north, south-west and upper Hawkesbury regions over the next few months.
Doctor Lindsay Hay, owner of Baulkham Hills Veterinary Hospital, has stressed that if ingested by dogs, Foxoff poison baits - which contain the chemical 1080, or "sodium fluoro acetate" - are incredibly quick-acting, and ultimately lethal.
"A dog would become acutely and dramatically ill very quickly after eating it, so it's not something that's going to happen the next day," he said.
"They seizure and they froth, and they die very quickly, within 30 to 60 minutes after they show signs.
"In areas where they have been affected by it, most dogs that present are dead because it's so toxic."
Doctor Hay said that domesticated cats are at a lower risk of being poisoned than dogs, as they are less likely to eat a bait under the misconception that it's food and don't tend to gravitate towards bushland.
But, the substance would still be highly toxic to the animals if it were ingested.
"It's normally not treatable," Doctor Hay said.
From Monday until October 12, the Hills Shire Council and the City of Parramatta Council are planting the poison baits in Bidjigal Reserve, the Excelsior Reserve and the Ted Horwood Reserve in Baulkham Hills; the Eric Mobbs Reserve in Castle Hill; Lot 51, Cadwells Road in Kenthurst; and, Lake Parramatta Reserve in Parramatta.
While dates haven't been set as yet, fox baiting will also be carried out in Sydney's south-west in areas throughout Macarthur including the Oaks, Oakdale, and Orangeville during Spring. The upper Hawkesbury region will also be targeted, with the Yarramundi, Grose Wold, Kurrajong Hills, Glossodia, Mellong and Freemans Reach among the areas to be baited.
Residents are advised to keep an eye on their mailboxes to be notified of each program's dates and the specific reserves that will be focussed on.
The baits will be buried to reduce the risk of non-target poisoning, and warning signs will also be displayed to notify the public about the program.
Both the Hills Shire Council and the City of Parramatta Council have warned pet owners to take extra precautions and avoid the local reserves that will be treated from Monday onwards.
If they do enter the reserves with their pets, before it's safe to do so on October 13, owners face penalties of up to $1100 under the Local Government Act.
"The fox baiting program has been going on for years and years. They [councils] always let vets know when it's happening," said Dr Hay.
"In all the time they've done it, our vet has never had a case of a dog ingesting it, so the risks are incredibly low it seems. This is mainly because of the way it's handled - the signs and the warnings."
Monday's fox baiting program comes just weeks after Ryde residents erupted in a flurry of concern after a fox "the size of a labrador" was spotted crossing Victoria Road with a chicken in its mouth.
In response to the incident, the City of Ryde council told the Herald that, like the Hills Shire Council and the City of Parramatta Council, it has an ongoing program to control fox populations. The programs are run twice a year across Sydney's council districts, in autumn and spring, and have a duration of about six to seven weeks.
But they do not extend to urban areas, where restrictions are in place on private lands.
This makes controlling Sydney's populations harder, as these areas often offer an easy source of food for the animals.
Greater Sydney Local Land Services Biosecurity Manager Graham Wilson said that residents can take a couple of simple steps to help keep foxes out of urban areas.
"Residents can help by enclosing compost bins, keeping rubbish in a secure location, feeding domestic pets inside and, wherever possible, keeping them in overnight," Mr Wilson said.
"[We] receive complaints about foxes killing domestic animals, including backyard chickens and guinea pigs."
According to the best available estimates, fox density in urban areas is about 10 per square kilometre. The animals are estimated to cost the Australian agricultural sector about $28 million every year.

People living with disabilities, serious illness and the frailty of old age are bracing to lose caregivers due to changes in federal immigration policy. Many immigrants work in health care, often in gruelling, low-wage jobs as nursing assistants or home health aides. Now these workers' days are numbered in Boston, the city with the nation's third-highest Haitian population, the decision has prompted panic from TPS holders and pleas from health care agencies that rely on their labor. The fallout offers a glimpse into how changes in immigration policy are affecting older Americans in communities around the country, especially in large cities. Ending TPS for Haitians "will have a devastating impact on the ability of skilled nursing facilities to provide quality care to frail and disabled residents," warned Tara Gregorio, president of the Massachusetts Senior Care Association, which represents 400 elder care facilities, in a letter published in The Boston Globe. Nursing facilities employ about 4,300 Haitians across the state, she said. Nationwide, 1 million immigrants work in direct care — as CNAs, personal care attendants or home health aides — according to the Paraprofessional Healthcare Institute, a New York-based organization that studies the workforce. Immigrants make up one in four workers.

DACA deadline passes: for immigrants, dread persists
A month ago, MIREMS reviewed how ethnic media is discussing immigration reform in the US. We saw how immigration reform was widely seen as a divisive wedge issue and how, contrary to the perception that it mostly affects Hispanics, each ethnic minority feels the impact on members of their community.
With the March 5 deadline for an end to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program come and gone - thus rendered merely symbolic by court action - there is still no permanent solution for the Dreamers in sight. In fact, the deadline passed almost unnoticed in the ethnic media, where not only the Parkland shooting and calls for gun control but also reports on Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) raids and abuses, Trump's war on sanctuary jurisdictions, and growing fear of deportation in the immigrant community dominated the news.
The national Spanish TV station Univision has almost daily reports on raids by immigration authorities and their impact on the Hispanic population. Many immigrants, even with legal papers, are afraid to drive, take public transit and go to work after news spread that ICE was conducting operations on buses and at work places. "A nut factory outside Fresno lost 5-10 percent of its employees when a raid was announced, even though the employer checks all employees' status on e-Verify as required" (Univision, New York, 1 Mar. 2018).
While the Hispanic weekly La Raza denounced that ICE was targeting Dreamers for arrest (La Raza, Chicago, 6 Mar. 2018), the weekly Hoy Los Angeles criticized immigration authorities for separating children from their parents at the border as "cruel and unnecessary" (Hoy Los Angeles, 5 Mar. 2018).
Univision reported that only 2,000 out of 11,000 unaccompanied minors who filed asylum claims were accepted because many are unable to articulate their legitimate fears well enough (Univision, New York, 1 Mar. 2018).
The Vietnamese daily Viet Bao reported on an incident where 92 Somalis were shackled at the wrist, waist and legs for over 48 hours during their deportation, were not allowed to use the rest room and were beaten and threatened (Viet Bao, Los Angeles, 7 Mar. 2018). Also according to Viet Bao, Vietnamese immigrants across the country have filed a lawsuit alleging US authorities are rounding them up and holding them in detention facilities for deportation even though Vietnamese immigrants who came to the US before 1995 cannot be deported (Viet Bao, 1 Mar. 2018).
The national Chinese daily paper Sing Tao reported on the conflicts between mayors of sanctuary cities like Oakland and New York on the one hand and national authorities on the other. Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf warned undocumented residents of an ICE operation in 77 California businesses and identified ICE activities as a tactic to create fear (Sing Tao USA, New York, 26 Feb. 2018). Chinese organizations, including Chinese For Affirmative Action and Chinese Progressive Association, participated in a demonstration outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in San Francisco in solidarity with the more than 10,000 undocumented Chinese migrants in San Francisco (Sing Tao Daily, San Francisco, 1 Mar. 2018).
The expiration of the DACA deadline was reported in Voice of America Vietnamese, which noted that options for a resolution were "on the back burner" and the White House apparently expecting a Supreme Court victory (VOA, Washington, DC, 6 Mar. 2018). The weekly Russian Bazaar was hopeful that the court rulings meant that DACA beneficiaries could renew their permits indefinitely, would not be deported and would eventually get permanent residence, even if it is under the next president (Russian Bazaar, New York, 28 Feb. 2018).
It's March 5th and the Democrats are nowhere to be found on DACA. Gave them 6 months, they just don't care. Where are they? We are ready to make a deal!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 5, 2018
However, Spanish media including the Miami daily El Nuevo Herald did not believe President Trump's assurance that Dreamers "don't need to worry" about deportation and feared that their migratory limbo could be "lethal in the anti-immigrant era of Trump" (El Nuevo Herald, Miami, 6 Mar. 2018). Hoy Los Angeles and La Raza reported on high rates of anxiety and depression among Latino parents and adolescents and avoidance of medical attention, police help and social services support due to fear of immigration authorities and family separation on the part of both legal and undocumented residents (Hoy Los Angeles, 1 Mar. 2018; La Raza, Chicago, 2 Mar. 2018).
Meanwhile, Haitian and African American media focused on a lawsuit by Haitian and Salvadoran immigrants who claim President Trump's cancellation of the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians, Salvadorans and Nicaraguans was racially motivated (South Florida Times, Fort Lauderdale, 1 Mar. 2018, and Haitian Voice of America, Washington, DC, 2 Mar. 2018).
While the DACA deadline passed with little notice or end in sight, immigration issues remain a central preoccupation of the ethnic media. Each community has its own concerns and perspectives, which are reflected in the papers, websites, radio station and TV programs they turn to for news, analysis and perspectives relevant to their own lived experience.
At MIREMS, we continue to tap into these voices, and make them accessible to decision makers. For immigrants - undocumented or not - and their families, raising their voices is more imporatant now than ever.

TPS: A group a Haitians and Salvadorians took the Trump administration to court - Haitian
Source: Voice of America Creole in Washington DC, Radio
The US administration will be before the courts since a Haitian and Salvadoran group seeks justice for the decision to end the TPS program in 2019 - a subject that attracts many people. Haitians and Salvadorans have a lot of doubt about whether they can stay in the country or whether they will be deported. They prefer to go to Canada because many people have told them that Canada will accept them, so they do their best to get there. Unfortunately, once they arrive to Canada, they realize that the problem is very difficult. Instead of running and going to Canada, they are asked to wait because we are fighting for them to find a solution. We are sure and certain that there will be a solution, and we don't want them to get into trouble when they arrive in Canada.

UnREAL: You can now watch almost half of this great show

by Andy Dehnart 8 Jun. 2015 | 3:28 pm
The premiere and three more episodes of Lifetime's UnReal are now all online. That's almost half of the 10-episode series that premiered last Monday and continues tonight at 10 p.m. ET.
Lifetime's move to make more of the series available online–which happened quietly Saturday morning, Variety says–is likely because only 815,000 people watched last Monday night's debut, far fewer than the 6.5 million who watched the show it brutally satirizes, The Bachelorette.
As I wrote in my review, it's not so much a satire of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette as it is a documentary in scripted form. If you want to know how your fantasy reality is made, how people are ground up for your entertainment, UnReal is a highly entertaining way to learn.
Full episodes are on Lifetime's site.

The elements of the network—data, intelligence, technology, and people—constitute a platform from which information can be launched as a weapon. This makes it a combat system, in which this controller plays a role as he stands watch in the air-traffic-control center of the USS John C. Stennis (CVN-74).
The opening shots of the next war will likely occur in cyberspace.
In the maritime operating environment, enormous challenges have been created by the explosive growth and global pervasiveness of information technology, its relatively low cost compared with that of conventional warfare systems, and the ease with which it can be "weaponized" to degrade or deny the U.S. Navy's overwhelming superiority. Moreover, those hostile to the United States incessantly exploit our networks, necessitating our constant vigilance and aggressive, intelligent action.

After the applause, make time for words of praise! After the applause, make time for words of praise!
Any form of presentation, speech or address no matter how long or short it is can be challenging and nerve racking, particularly if you are not use to standing on your feet and talking in front of an audience. I am very fortunate in that I have been doing presentations and conducting training programs for many years, so I have got use to the challenge and nerves or butterflies in the stomach that always emerge and swell up inside of you in the days, hours and minutes before you speak.
The challenges, nerves and butterflies are always a good thing for me in so much as it gets my adrenaline working and allows me to channel my energy and enthusiasm into what I want to say and the message I have been asked to deliver. However, I have never really thought very deeply about how much of my energy it takes to do any form of public speaking.
Just recently I had the pleasure of speaking at a conference about the key success factors in business and as usual in the weeks and days prior to my presentation I spent considerable time researching and reviewing what I wanted cover, as well as preparing the structure and content of what was an hour and a quarter presentation.
When I was young, my mother and father regularly said to me that 'the early bird catches the worm', so as I have always done, I arrived early at the conference centre so that I could make sure that everything I needed for my presentation was on hand and check out the venue, as well as prepare myself for my presentation. This completed, I then had time to speak to a number of the delegates who had also arrived earlier than the scheduled starting time of my presentation.
I have always measured the level of success of my presentations by the applause and comments that I receive from those people in the audience. On this occasion I spoke in the session leading up to the morning break, so after the applause had ended and the MC thanked me, I had the opportunity to personally speak to nearly all of the delegates.
The last delegate I spoke with greeted me by taking my hand, shaking it and saying how much she enjoyed my presentation, and that she had got of lot of helpful and practical tips to use in her business. For some reason as we continued to talk she did not let go of my hand and then placed her other hand just above my wrist and increased the pressure of her hand shake, whilst gently squeezing my arm with her other hand.
She went on to say that I had put so much of myself into the presentation that she hoped that my energy levels would not suffer for the rest of the day and she wanted in some way to return the energy I had given out. She smiled at me whilst she said this and then let go of my hand and went to join her colleagues for morning tea.
Usually an hour or so after any presentation that I give, I feel quite exhausted and I know that this is directly related to what I put into what I do and the up shot of using a lot of nervous energy, however, on this occasion, the opportunity for me to receive the words of thanks from the delegates gave me a genuine lift and recharged my batteries. The icing on the cake that gave me an even bigger energy lift was the words of support and encouragement from the delegate with the very firm handshake.
This experience at the end of my presentation also made me realise that what we give out in life can come back to us and equally, we all need and value receiving positive feedback and praise when and where it is warranted and deserved.
A business associate who works in the field of leadership and people development refers to the word 'Praise' as an acronym for - People Really Are Into Sensational Efforts, and he goes on to say that all people need is regular praise and encouragement for them to reach new heights in all aspects of their personal and business life.
As I drove away from the conference I reflected on how fortunate I had been to receive all those words of appreciation and praise for what I had done that morning and how refreshed and energised I felt.
Inspired by a firm handshake and all the genuine words of appreciation and praise.


Ever hear people throw around terms like RSS or .XML and you wrinkle your forehead in confusion but nod your head because you don't want to admit that you haven't a clue? This blog post will lift some of that mystery by covering the ABCs of blogging's most important terms.
39 Commonly Used Blogging Terms you Must Know!
Alternative text/tag or attribute - This has lots of common names and all mean the same thing. This should be used in HTML as the following or if using a CMS applied in the field tied to an image for the purpose of describing an image. An alt tag is helpful to both users and search engines should the image not fully render. Alt text is a word of phrase that describes an image on the web.
Article - Article and blog "post" are frequently used synonymously.An article is one single post on a blog.
Author - The name associated with the person who wrote a blog post.
Avatar - No, this is not referring to the 2009 James Cameron film . Though not far removed, an avatar is a photo, graphic or image that represents you across blogs and other social-networking sites. This is not require nor used by all, and is sometimes displayed within the profile or comment sections.
Blog - This is short for web log or weblog. Frequently it's a type of website or part of a website. Blogs are usually maintained by an individual or group of people. A personal blog or business blog will traditionally include regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as photos or video.
Note: You should always have a call-to-action to ensure your blog is also generating leads.
Blogger or Blogging - The person who writes for a blog is referred to as a blogger, and the act of writing for the blog is known as blogging.
Note: Google also has a blogging platform called Blogspot and sometimes referred to as "Blogger".
Blogosphere - This refers to the collective community of all blogs and bloggers on the Internet.
Blogroll - Sometimes spelled blog-roll or blog roll, this is a blogger's list of links to other blogs the read or support. Ideally these only include blogs that you really like and recommend.
Category - Category and tags are frequently used synonymously. Though often times a category (in terms of hierarchy) is the top level definition and a tag may be a more specific classification beneath that. For example a blog about Apple Pies may have a category of baking and a tag of pies.
CMS or Platform - This is short for content management system. It is a software program that allows you to add content to a website more easily. HubSpot for instance has a CMS through which you can manage your website pages, landing pages and blog.
Comments - The opinions of your readers left in response to a blog post. This is a useful way for you to connect with your audience. It's recommended to freely give users access to and make it easier for them to connect, which usually means not monitoring comments for approval and only deleting truly offensive comments. If negative comments come up use this as an opportunity to proactively share your knowledge and respond back positively.
CSS or Stylesheet - This is short for Cascading Style Sheets. Written in HTML this is commonly used to style web pages. Styling options including page layouts, colors and fonts are typically preset to help control cohesiveness and an overall professional look and feel for your website and/or blog.
Directory - A blog directory is a website that lists blogs, usually ranking them by their popularity and ordering them by subject or category. It's a good idea to add your blog to directories to help generate more relevant traffic, especially when you are first getting started.
Feed - This is a news feed used for providing users with frequently updated content. Content distributors syndicate a web feed, thereby allowing users to subscribe to it in RSS reader or via e-mail.
Header - This is the top part of your blog, appearing before any pages or posts. Headers generally include items such as logos, taglines, and navigation menus, which are meant to set the tone or theme of your blog.
Hyperlink - Used synonymously with the word "link", this is clickable content within a web page that takes the user to another page, website, or within part of the same page. The text that comprises the hyperlink is referred to as the "anchor text".
Index(ed) - The process by which search engines find your content and then make it available to users by storing it and displaying it in search results. To know whether or not your content has been indexed simply do a search for a page and if a search engine returns your page then it has indeed been indexed.
Keyword(s) or Keyphrase(s) - These should be used as a topic generator. Picking keywords is the process of determining what topics are most relevant to your target audience or buyer persona and crafting content around those topics. They should be used in a strictly creative sense for structural composition, reasoning, and comprehension, and should showcase your knowledge in a given field.
Meta Description - Your description should be a short description of that particular page or post. It's a great opportunity to place some very targeted content for your audience to see on the search results page. A good description is approximately 2 sentences (no more than 150 characters) using your target keywords, phrased to cause a person to want to visit your site.
Meta Keywords - These have historically been the most popular and well known element describing content of a web page. Search engines, however, quickly came to realize that this piece of information was often inaccurate or misleading and frequently lead to spammy sites. As such this tag is no longer followed by search engines.
Meta Tags - A comprehensive term that is comprised of meta titles, descriptions and keywords. These three items together are what are referred to as meta tags . The tags are elements that provide information about a given web page, most often to help search engines categorize them correctly.
Note: These are inserted into the HTML and as such not directly visible to a user visiting the site.
Meta Title or Page Title - The Page Title is the phrase that shows in the blue bar at the top of your web browser when the page loads. The page title is also the bold text that shows up on a search results page when you rank in a search engine.
Nofollow - A link attribute which prevents links from being crawled by search engines. As a result no SEO credit gets passed from one page to another.
Permalink - An address or URL of a particular post within a blog.
Post - As stated above, this is synonymous with article. Basically a post is an article within a blog. A post can be on any topic, and it's the collection of posts that form the basis of a blog.
Redirect - Used to specify an alternative URL and in order to redirect the user (or search engine) to a different location. The most commonly used redirect is a 301 permanent redirect, which is applied when you change the URL of a page. To ensure that people, who have linked to or bookmarked that old page/URL, can still get to the updated page/URL.
Robots - Commonly filed as robots.txt, which provides information about a given Web page, most often to help search engines categorize them correctly.
RSS - Short for Really Simple Syndication, a means by which users can subscribe to a feed, a blog feed for instance. Because content is published in a frequent basis subscribing makes it easier for users to follow content and updates.
Sitemap - A public directory or index of sorts to help users easily access pages of your website. Basically this is a page on your site where you tell users about key pages of your website by listing them in almost an outline format and then linking to those internal pages. This makes your content easier to find by users including search engines.
Social Media Sharing - Your content should not exist in a vacuum. Give people the opportunity to share your content for you. A lot of platforms have this built in or at least available as an add-on. There are also tools like sharethis.com or addthis.com that make content sharing easy.
Subscribe - Your blog should have multiple means through which users can subscribe to your blog content. These should include email and RSS.
Tag or Tagging - A tag is a bit like a category in that it is another way of classifying blog post. It is a word or set of words that help define what the post is about.
Tip: Think of it like a filing system and these are your folder labels.
Title or Subject - The title of your page is frequently an H1 tag.
URL - This is short for Uniform Resource Locator ... say what? Basically this is the address of a piece of information that can be found on the web such as a page, image or document.
Widget or Module - Areas of your website that are uniquely designed to stand out and commonly found in the side bars of your website (left or hand side of a page). Within a CMS these are easily interchangeable sections that often provide links, call to actions or other helpful resources.
.XML Sitemap - A file you can use to publish lists of links from across your site. This is easily generated and there a lots of free tools out there to help you generate this sort of file. Sitemaps do not guarantee all links will be crawled, and being crawled does not guarantee indexing. However, a Sitemap is still the best insurance for getting a search engine to learn about your entire site.

Q: Implementing a question analyzer for auto tagging What are good resources to go to for implementing a question analyzer?
I am trying to figure out how to auto-tag questions to make it easier for non-technical users to ask questions. I've found that using Bayes Theorem I can achieve this, but I have no idea how to implement it.
Any open source libraries or research papers on this?

A: Naive Bayes probabilistic classifiers are commonly-used in text categorization. The basic idea is to use the joint probabilities of words and categories to estimate the probabilities of categories given a document. The naive part of such a model is the assumption of word independence. The simplicity of this assumption makes the computation of the Naive Bayes classifier far more efficient than the exponential complexity of non-naive Bayes approaches because it does not use word combination as predictors.
If the task is to classify a test document into a single class, then the class with the highest posterior probability is selected.
Here is one reference:
[1] Tom Mitchell, "Machine Learning", McGraw-Hill, 1997. (Section 6.10)
If you assume each question category as a text type then you can use text categorization.
Naive Bayes classifier is based on Bayes theorem where you assume that all the features(or attribute) are  independent.
It's very easy to implement. You can find many software package with the implementation. e1071 Package in R implements it. Here is the sample code in R which uses naive bayes classifier:

N <- nrow(data)
Ntrain <- round(N*0.7)
data <- data[sample(1:N),]
train <- data[1:Ntrain,]
test <- data[(Ntrain+1):N,]
y<-as.factor(train[,13])
x<-train[,3:12]
y_test <- as.factor(test[,13])
x_test <- test[,3:12]
library(e1071)
m <- naiveBayes(x, y)
pred_test <- predict(m,x_test, type = "class")
pred <- predict(m,x, type = "class")

A: Your algorithm would have to maintain a table (or something similar)
Word            Category
-------------------------------------
algo            algorithm
design          algorithm
...
...
libraries       library
open            open-source
open-source     open-source
paper           research-paper
research        research-paper
source          source-code
...

When you analyze the statement according to this table (after ignoring filler words)
1. "Any open source libraries or research papers on this?"

2. open source libraries research papers

3.
open            open-source
source          source-code
open-source     open-source
libraries       library
research        research-paper
paper           research-paper
research-paper  research-paper

4. by a simple majority, (you can also use a more complex algorithm here,
   like assigning weights to the Categories)
selected category = research paper

As you keep on learning using your selected algorithm, your table keeps on getting updated, and you keep getting better results.

Do I have a medical defect case?
Infuse Bone Graft Side Effect Attorneys
When bones are badly damaged in an accident or through illness, doctors can sometimes repair the damage through the use of bone grafts. There are several types of bone graft procedures available to doctors, but one of the most popular in the last few years has been the use of something called a morphogenic protein. Morphogenic comes from a combination of two words, morph which means change, and gen which means growth. A morphogenic protein works by causing the bone to grow more quickly to the graft, speeding recovery time and increasing the likelihood that the procedure will be successful. Bone graft morphogenic proteins are combined with a sponge-like material that gives the new bone an anchor on which to grow; essentially, a bone graft enhanced by a morphogenic protein is attempting to "beat the clock" by getting bone growth started much more quickly, theoretically giving the patient a better chance of successful growth and faster healing.
However, the protein marketed by Medtronic under the brand name Infuse has been shown to have a high rate of failure and can lead to serious complications for bone graft patients. Several male patients have experienced infertility after undergoing Infuse procedures, and others have experienced inflammatory reactions of soft tissue and cyst development. In some cases, these side effects have led to breathing complications that can be life-threatening. In other cases, bone grafts were unsuccessful or the patients had to undergo additional surgery in order to correct problems with the new bone growth.
If you have undergone an Infuse bone graft and you have experienced any side effects, it is important that you protect your rights and alert both the medical community and the public of the risks involved in this procedure. However, it is unlikely that you can do this alone; you need the help of experts who understand the problems associated with the use of bone graft proteins and who know how to recover damages for your pain, suffering, and emotional trauma.
Infuse bone graft attorneys work with victims who have suffered from these bone graft procedures. You may not be sure if you are a victim; perhaps you are not even sure if your doctor used an Infuse morphogenic protein in your procedure. In order to find out, consult a bone graft attorney who can review your medical records and give you sound legal advice about the possibilities of recovering damages for complications with your bone graft surgery.

"My sister in law referred me to Bisnar Chase after I was rear ended on the 405 in January. They went over everything with me for best and worst case scenarios of my car accident claim. I fully knew what to expect and was informed every step of the way. That was a major factor to me! In addition to my settlement which I was really happy with, I couldn't believe how great their whole staff treated me. I really felt like "me" as a person mattered a lot to them. Would highly recommend!"

"Undoubtedly the best firm I've ever encountered. It's not a huge firm, as I only worked with a few people, but it felt like a real place where work gets done. I never felt like a "little person," as my case wasn't small, but it wasn't huge either. I know lawyers have gotten a bad rap, but these guys bring the word classy back to law. I definitely can recommend these guys."

Ultracold Atoms Reveal a Surprising New Type of Quantum Magnetic Behavior
TOPICS:MITParticle PhysicsPopularQuantum Information ScienceQuantum PhysicsSpintronics
By SciTechDaily December 16, 2020
MIT and Harvard researchers have studied how elementary units of magnetism, called spins (the black arrows), move around and interact with other spins, in a chain of single atoms (the colored spheres). The background shows a real image of the spins, revealing a high contrast periodic modulation of the blue (spin up) atoms. Credit: Courtesy of the researchers
The findings may help researchers design "spintronic" devices and novel magnetic materials.
A new study illuminates surprising choreography among spinning atoms. In a paper appearing in the journal Nature, researchers from MIT and Harvard University reveal how magnetic forces at the quantum, atomic scale affect how atoms orient their spins.
In experiments with ultracold lithium atoms, the researchers observed different ways in which the spins of the atoms evolve. Like tippy ballerinas pirouetting back to upright positions, the spinning atoms return to an equilibrium orientation in a way that depends on the magnetic forces between individual atoms. For example, the atoms can spin into equilibrium in an extremely fast, "ballistic" fashion or in a slower, more diffuse pattern.
The researchers found that these behaviors, which had not been observed until now, could be described mathematically by the Heisenberg model, a set of equations commonly used to predict magnetic behavior. Their results address the fundamental nature of magnetism, revealing a diversity of behavior in one of the simplest magnetic materials.
This improved understanding of magnetism may help engineers design "spintronic" devices, which transmit, process, and store information using the spin of quantum particles rather than the flow of electrons.
"Studying one of the simplest magnetic materials, we have advanced the understanding of magnetism," says Wolfgang Ketterle, the John D. Arthur professor of physics at MIT and the leader of the MIT team. "When you find new phenomena in one of the simplest models in physics for magnetism, then you have a chance to fully describe and understand it. This is what gets me out of bed in the morning, and gets me excited."
Ketterle's co-authors are MIT graduate student and lead author Paul Niklas Jepsen, along with Jesse-Amato Grill, Ivana Dimitrova, both MIT postdocs, Wen Wei Ho, a postdoc at Harvard University and Stanford University, and Eugene Demler, a professor of physics at Harvard. All are researchers in the MIT-Harvard Center for Ultracold Atoms. The MIT team is affiliated with the Institute's Department of Physics and Research Laboratory of Electronics.
Strings of spins
Quantum spin is considered the microscopic unit of magnetism. At the quantum scale, atoms can spin clockwise or counterclockwise, which gives them an orientation, like a compass needle. In magnetic materials, the spin of many atoms can show a variety of phenomena, including equilibrium states, where atom spins are aligned, and dynamic behavior, where the spins across many atoms resemble a wave-like pattern.
It is this latter pattern which was studied by the researchers. The dynamics of the wavelike spin pattern are very sensitive to the magnetic forces between atoms. The wavy pattern faded away much faster for isotropic magnetic forces than for anisotropic forces. (Isotropic forces don't depend on how all the spins are oriented in space).
Ketterle's group aimed to study this phenomenon with an experiment in which they first used established laser-cooling techniques to bring lithium atoms down to about 50 nanokelvin — more than 10 million times colder than interstellar space.
At such ultracold temperatures, atoms are frozen to a near standstill, so that researchers can see in detail any magnetic effects that would otherwise be masked by the thermal motion of the atoms. The researchers then used a system of lasers to trap and arrange multiple strings with 40 atoms each, like beads on a string. In all, they generated a lattice of about 1,000 strings, comprising about 40,000 atoms.
"You can think of the lasers as tweezers that grab the atoms, and if they are warmer they would escape," Jepsen explains.
They then applied a pattern of radio waves and a pulsed magnetic force to the entire lattice, which induced each atom along the string to tilt its spin into a helical (or wavelike) pattern. The wave-like patterns of these strings together corresponds to a periodic density modulation of the "spin up" atoms that forms a pattern of stripes, which the researchers could image on a detector. They then watched how the stripe patterns disappeared as the individual spins of the atoms approached their equilibrium state.
Ketterle compares the experiment to plucking the string of a guitar. If the researchers were to look at the spins of atoms at equilibrium, this wouldn't tell them much about the magnetic forces between the atoms, just as a guitar string at rest wouldn't reveal much about its physical properties. By plucking the string, bringing it out of equilibrium, and seeing how it vibrates and eventually returns to its original state, one can learn something fundamental about the string's physical properties.
"What we're doing here is, we're kind of plucking the string of spins. We're putting in this helix pattern, and then observing how this pattern behaves as a function of time," Ketterle says. "This allows us to see the effect of different magnetic forces between the spins."
Ballistics and ink
In their experiment, the researchers altered the strength of the pulsed magnetic force they applied, to vary the width of the stripes in the atomic spin patterns. They measured how quickly, and in what ways, the patterns faded. Depending on the nature of magnetic forces between atoms, they observed strikingly different behavior in how quantum spins returned to equilibrium.
They discovered a transition between ballistic behavior, where the spins shot quickly back into an equilibrium state, and diffusive behavior, where the spins propagate more erratically, and the overall stripe pattern spread slowly back to equilibrium, like an ink drop slowly dissolving in water.
Some of this behavior has been theoretically predicted, but never observed in detail until now. Some other results were completely unexpected. What's more, the researchers found their observations fit mathematically with what they calculated with the Heisenberg model for their experimental parameters. They teamed up with theorists at Harvard, who performed state-of-the art calculations of the spin dynamics.
"It was interesting to see that there were properties which were easy to measure, but difficult to calculate, and other properties could be calculated, but not measured," Ho says.
In addition to advancing the understanding of magnetism at a fundamental level, the team's results may be used to explore the properties of new materials, as a sort of quantum simulator. Such a platform could work like a special-purpose quantum computer that calculates the behavior of materials, in a way that exceeds the capabilities of today's most powerful computers.
"With all of the current excitement about the promise of quantum information science to solve practical problems in the future, it is great to see work like this actually coming to fruition today," says John Gillaspy, program officer in the Division of Physics at the National Science Foundation, a funder of the research.

Samsung Galaxy S9 Launch Date Leak
Samsung Galaxy S9 flagship that launch will dominate the headlines of the digital press. While Samsung can pretty much launch when it likes, there are more indications that it will be returning to its default schedule for releasing the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus.
The launch is tipped to be at one of the main press conference at this year's Mobile World Congress, taking place February 26 to March 1 in Barcelona. Samsung has tended to hold its press conference on the Sunday before, so Galaxy fans should keep the afternoon of Sunday 25th February free.
While that would be an earlier launch than this year's Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus, don't forget that these handsets were paused just before production started to allow the South Korean company to get on top of the battery issues in the incendiary Galaxy Note 7. That pushed back the launch and the public release into March and April respectively. Look back to the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge events, and you'll see them taking pole position ahead of MWC.
In which case that means the presumptively named Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus handsets are a return to the status quo for Samsung, with a launch and release six months after the previous Galaxy Note 8, and presumably six months before the Galaxy Note 9.
It also narrows the window of Samsung is going to push out the Galaxy X folding smartphone for a limited release in South Korea. The only big event between now and MWC would be CES.

December 1899 - New York City Manhattan has bid farewell to its brightest star, the dazzling Miss Holland. Yet the rumors about her untimely demise continue. Meanwhile, her sister, the irrepressible Diana, has been seen in the company of not one, but three eligible bachelors. Might there be a fourth? In High Society reputation is everything. The Holland family simply can't afford to be the subject of such wicked whispers. Heaven forbid that they should fall so spectacularly from grace...There is a very fine line between truth and love, lies and hate. And all is about to be gloriously revealed.


I think most people would probably agree that four days isn't much for a country like Cambodia. And the truth is, it isn't. But we managed to achieve quite a lot in such a little time. That said, both of us are itching to return and to venture beyond Angkor Wat and Siem Reap.
We arrived in Siem Reap in the evening and hopped straight into a taxi to head to the hotel. Driving along, we were both immediately overcome by a sense of relaxation. Cambodia was absolutely nothing like Vietnam. Hanoi had been so busy, with so many people. Siem Reap was quiet and peaceful (at least in the evening!). In addition, there are so many insects and animals. Throughout our four day stay in Cambodia, we saw numerous geckos, frogs, cockroaches, lizards, and an array of flying insects.
Arriving at our hotel, we had a quick meal before heading off to bed.
At 9am, we headed off to Angkor Thom. We received a blessing from monk and were given little string bracelets. Mine fell off within a few weeks whereas Mal is still wearing his, nearly a year later! We wandered around for about two hours, before heading off to a second temple, Ta Prohm. I was getting a bit sweaty and warm at the point so I was glad to discover that Ta Prohm was so much smaller than Angkor Thom!
We then headed to a little restaurant for a noodle and beef lunch, before heading on to the most famous temple, Angkor Wat.
By the afternoon, we were both exhausted. We had spent most of the day in the sun and were beginning to feel a bit dehydrated. So, at about 4pm, we headed back to the hotel for a quick swim in the pool and a shower.
We then headed out to 'Pub Street'. 'Pub Street' was a lot more Westernised that we had expected – there were neon signs everywhere and it felt a little bit like the strip in a European beach resort. However, we enjoyed it nonetheless. It was relaxing to chat to other tourists over a few beers and play some pool (which, for the record, I am rubbish at).
Feeling like we hadn't stopped since we'd left London 10 days earlier, we decided to spend the morning relaxing. With a 2 hour massage each. Which was amazing. Then we sat on sun lounges by the pool and read our books. It was heavenly and exactly what we needed.
That afternoon we were collected from our hotel to head back to the temples for the sunset. We arrived fairly early so spent an hour just sitting there with hundreds of other tourists, all waiting for the sun to go down.
Our first stop for the day was a waterfall. The walk to it was fairly arduous but thankfully we were shaded from the sun by tree cover. We arrived at what we thought was the waterfall and, I'm not going to lie, I was fairly disappointed. The water fell less than 10 cm. Really? That was what we'd walked all this way for?
Thankfully, that wasn't the waterfall. On our walk back down, we were accosted by numerous butterflies, who were beautiful and happy to land on us, even as we walked.
We then visited one final temple before heading out for a fantastic steak dinner.
