Radiological Technologies University may accept any course work successfully completed at other approved colleges and universities, if it comparably meets Radiological Technologies University course work requirements. A student may not transfer more than 25% of program classes. Classes must have a "C" or higher to be transferred. Graduate level classes below a "B" are not eligible for transfer to an RTU graduate program. RTU reserves the right to refuse credit transfers.
Should a student wish to transfer credit from Radiological Technologies University to another college or university, the student is advised to first contact the academic institution to which the transfer of credit is sought. All colleges and universities have their own policy regarding acceptances of transfer of credit.
Students can find the transfer of credit form on-line or through administrative services. Students will need to provide RTU with a copy of the catalog description and support for evaluation. Once the student provides all need documentation the University President or the Vice President of Academic affairs will review the request for approval. Administrative services will contact the student with the acceptance or rejection of the transfer. Transfer credits are not included in the cumulative GPA or cumulative program GPA calculation.
All students applying for the Master degree program must arrange to have original transcripts sent to Radiological Technologies University. These arrangements are to be made at the time of the student's application. Upon receipt of these transcripts of college level course/degree completions, the Chief Executive Officer/Academic Dean will review the documents and make the assessment of the transferability of each course appearing on the transcripts. Students desiring to transfer credits must fill out a Transfer of credit request and provide the supporting documentation. The Academic Dean will review the request and notify student of decision within 30 days. As part of that assessment, the Academic Dean will assure that the student's GPA meets or exceeds the minimum required.
Should the transcripts be from overseas, those documents will be photocopied. The copies will be retained by this institution. The originals will be forwarded, by mail, to an independent Transcript Evaluation Service. Upon return of the documents, the CEO/Academic Dean will review the correspondence received from the Transcript Evaluation Service and return all received documents to the student's official file. At that time, the Administrator will respond, in writing, to the applicant and document either: the acceptance of the credit or will document the specific courses which are transferable, which are not, and what further action will be required of the student in order to meet the published academic entrance requirements for the selected degree program. Each document will be examined to assure that the work accepted is clearly indicated, by the issuing institution, to be degree appropriate coursework. Questions of the equivalency of credit from overseas institutions will be submitted to the Independent Transcript Evaluation Service. If evaluation is necessary by a third party the student will be responsible for payment of service.

Huxley Terrace is a narrow, linear mesa-like platform extending northeast from Mount Huethawali in western Grand Canyon on the South Rim; (it is about 1.2 mi in length). Three landforms surround Mount Huethawali; the Darwin Plateau extends southwest (but is actually a semicircle platform at the south); two terraces are at the north of Huethawali, Spencer Terrace extends north-northwest, and Huxley Terrace extends northeast.

The center of Huxley Terrace is ~1.0 mile from Mount Huethawali, and ~1.0 mile northwest of the southwest end of the Grand Scenic Divide. Huxley Terrace is about 2.0 miles south of a west-flowing excursion of the Colorado River. This short excursion of the Colorado River is west of the Grand Scenic Divide with the three terraces, two major canyons/creeks, and a more minor canyon between Spencer and Huxley Terrace. This narrow minor canyon and watershed, is high-walled, and narrow, (Copper Creek (Arizona)), and the Upper Copper Canyon is named the Evolution Amphitheater.

Geography/Geology
Unlike Spencer Terrace to the west, which slopes westward to Upper Garnet Canyon (as does the Darwin Plateau just southeast), Huxley Terrace is mostly flat. The highpoint of the terrace is at the northeast above a large section at 5600 ft-elevation, the prominence being 5,630 ft. A saddle occurs on the terrace, about one third of the distance northeast of Mount Huethawali, just below the 5440 ft-elevation.

Geology

Huxley Terrace is a massif of the Supai Group; specifically, it survives because of unit 4 of 4, the cliff-former, (platform-former) Esplanade Sandstone. (The three platforms of Spencer Terrace, Huxley Terrace, and the Darwin Plateau, are all composed of the Esplanade Sandstone.) Mount Huethawali is a large cliff of Coconino Sandstone upon a slope of thick Hermit Shale, both upon the Supai Group (Esplanade Sandstone). The north terminus  of Huxley Terrace, at its highpoint, has colorful dk-burnt-brick red erosion debris from the Hermit Shale. (See here: ) The best exposures of the cliffs of the Esplanade Sandstone are at the terraces perimeters.

Going through exactly the same thinking to fit our two boys but haven't yet started the conversion. If you come up with a good layout please share. Im just thinking of leaving the first row of passenger seats in, make them folding and then build a bed that can be made up on top of it. Thanks for sharing all your previous work. Very useful before starting my project.
That's a really good idea, we might have to do that next time round. Good luck with your conversion!
Time for a hybrid travel trailer?
I'm from the US and we have 5 children. We just bought our first camper trailer. I have enjoyed reading your posts and have been envious of the styling 🙂 with some modifications I am sure you will enjoy traveling with your little man! Thanks for the lovely blog.


Get down to basics with the personality test. Do it yourself, or let the site match you. It's less expensive than eHarmony.
Can wait forever for matches. Deal breakers don't go far enough.
PerfectMatch offers daters the choice between DIY dating, or being matched by their DUET compatibility system. Going it alone means you can browse around and choose who to contact. Otherwise leave it all up to their auto matching system. The matchmaking system will tell you who you are most compatible with – based on your personal survey. PerfectMatch is a cheaper option than eHarmony but it offers a similar experience.
When PerfectMatch first came out, it was one of a handful of sites that was setup to help people find lasting relationships – a marriage partner, long-term spouse or something along those lines. Of course there are lots of other choices nowadays. But we have to respect the fact that PerfectMatch was one of the pioneers.
To this day, users of PerfectMatch are still asked to fill in a long personality questionnaire. They call this the "Duet" total compatibility test. Created by leading relationship specialist Dr. Pepper Schwarz, the test tries to find people who're "romantically suited" using a secret scientific recipe.
If you're not comfortable with these kinds of questions, you'd most probably be better off on a different site.
DIY or Wait to be Matched?
Once you've filled in your test, you just wait for matches to arrive. There are a few differences between PerfectMatch and other matchmaking sites in this category. Other sites like eHarmony and Parship also have a compatibility system that users fill in.
But the good thing is on PerfectMatch you can do it yourself if you want! You don't have to wait to be matched.
With sites like eHarmony and Parship you can't just browse around and look for people on your own. You have to wait for their matching system to find people for you. The matches you get are people it "thinks" are compatible with you. Some daters see that as a big drawback. Others see it as an advantage.
If you're in the first group, you probably like to be spontaneous and look around a site and see who takes your fancy. When you find someone who sets off fireworks, you just pop a message in their inbox.
For others, this browsing around is just a pain and takes too long. They prefer to have the site work for them rather than the other way around. If you're busy, it just makes more sense to have suggestions popped into your inbox. Rather than having to check on the site every day or two, you just sit back and wait.
With PerfectMatch you can do either.
What I found with PerfectMatch is that there can be a long wait for matches to arrive in your in-tray. I waited about 2 weeks for my first matches. Now I know this might not seem like long, but to others it's an eternity. How long you wait will vary depending on your preferences and where you live.
One new feature that's been added is called "ice breakers". These should really be called "time savers". When you first meet someone on a website, most people ask the same questions. Where are you from, what job do you do, or whatever.
What ice breakers allow is for you to do that stuff on auto pilot. Each time a new match is found for you, they'll be sent your ice breaker questions. When you visit the site next, you can review how your matches responded to your questions. Then decide if you want to get in touch with them.
If this sounds helpful, you are right, it is. When I've used matchmaking sites before many matches I get I know within a minutes of online chat or email that they are not really for me. Ice breakers save you that time and awkwardness.
Think about your questions carefully though. If they're too probing or embarrassing you could find people pass you over and don't bother to respond at all.
What PerfectMatch lets you do is set "Deal Breakers". These set a minimum bar for your matches.
You can't put in deal breakers on people's physical appearance. Lots of users have asked for this. But as yet you still can't do it. So you can't for example set a deal breaker on someone's hair color, waist size or their height.
Be warned. If you're too "picky" you might be waiting forever. The more deal breakers you set, the higher you raise the bar and the few people who'll meet your high standard.
The basic account on PefectMatch is surprisingly generous. Given that it is totally free. It lets you explore the site in full and complete your own Duet personality test.
You will get matches with the free account. But you'll only be able to message members who're on the premium plan. This is called Platinum. The main hitch with that is that it limits your available pool of dating prospects.

Tramlines, Sheffield's biggest city-based music festival has announced the lineup for its 2020 event, taking place at the 30,000 capacity Hillsborough Park from Friday 31st July to Sunday 2nd August. Headliners have been revealed as Ian Brown, Catfish and the Bottlemen, and Madness, plus over 25 more acts have been unveiled including The Kooks, DMA's, Pale Waves, Dizzee Rascal, The Hives, The Fratellis, La Roux, The Pigeon Detectives, Easy Life, The Snuts, The Sherlocks, Twisted Wheel, Sister Sledge, The Big Moon, Lucy Spraggan, Sundara Karma, The Magic Gang, and more.

They're priced from £45 and can be purchased alongside other ticket options from www.tramlines.org.uk.
Following its first ever sell out in 2019 and subsequently receiving the UK Festival Award for Best Metropolitan, Tramlines is one of the UK's fastest growing festivals. It grew from humble beginnings in 2009 as a free, multi-venue, inner-city festival, to a single greenfield site that stages the biggest names in pop, rock and indie across five stages of music, alongside the best in art, comedy, performance, handpicked food and craft ales. Watch the 2019 aftermovie here https://youtu.be/m-eWBk16Js4.
Headliners for the 12th instalment of Tramlines on 'Sarah Nulty's Main Stage' are Stone Roses frontman, Ian Brown (Friday), indie-rockers Catfish and the Bottlemen (Saturday) – a band who first appeared at Tramlines many moons ago as an upcoming band on one of its smallest stages, and the UK's favourite skaoutfit, Madness (Sunday).
Tramlines Festival Operations Director, TimmCleasby commented, "I'm proper excited for us to bring this line up to Sheffield. Big names for Sheffield's biggest party. Gettin the F.E.A.R. with Ian Brown on Friday Night, right through to Sunday Madness, It Must Be Love. With some of Yorkshire's finest bands too, I Hate To Say I Told You So, but it's going to be Bonkers. See you in the park."
The 2020 lineup for Tramlines is packed with some of the UK's all-time rock and indie favourites. Appearing are poster boys of the noughties indie wave scene, The Kooks, 'Chelsea Dagger' indie swingers The Fratellis, the platinum selling The Pigeon Detectives, Twisted Wheel who formed at the heart of Manchester's indie rock scene and were regularly seen supporting the likes of Oasis and Tramlines headliner himself, Ian Brown; and Glasgow rockers, Twin Atlantic who return after their last Main Stage appearance at Tramlines in 2017. Adding an international injection to the rock offering are, from Sydney down under, the DMA's who'll bring rock ballads aplenty.
Tramlines 2020 is also thrilled to announce that rebel pop star La Roux will appear as she gears up to release her third album 'Supervision' later this year. Swedish garage-punk kingpins, The Hives will also star amongst a melting pot of sounds including a return set to Tramlines from Grime MC, Dizzee Rascal, disco anthems from Sister Sledge, goth-pop from former BBC Introducing duo, Pale Waves, the Mercury Prize nominated all-girl outfit, The Big Moon, and the eclectic sounds of Easy Life who return with their mash up of hip hop, r'n'b and jazz that wowed crowds on the Leadmill Stage at Tramlines last year.
As ever, Tramlines welcomes a slew of talent from across its home city and the Yorkshire regions. The ever popular four-piece, The Sherlocks join the bill whose impressive credits include being the first unsigned band after the Arctic Monkeys to sell out the legendary independent venue, the Leadmill. The ever-cherished singer and songwriter Lucy Spraggan who'll deliver her folk pop signature style as seen on album number five released in 2019, and on her recent quirky cover of The Proclaimers '500 Miles', plus the heavy, fast-paced indie sounds of The Reytons, the loud punk sounds of The Blinders, and Sheffield favourites the Everly Pregnant Brothersrenowned for their amusing spoof numbers.
Over the years Tramlines has been known for offering a platform to some of the best new and emerging talent around. 2020 is no different and 'ones to watch' include rising Scottish five-piece, The Snuts who'll bring a catalogue of indie stompers, Reading quartet Sundara Karma, and hailing from Brighton, The Magic Gang and Fickle Friends who'll deliver big melodies and progressive indie pop.
As well as weekend tickets costing £99.50 and day tickets costing £45 (Friday) and £50 (Saturday and Sunday), children's ticket are also on sale. With a pass for 5 – 12-year olds costing just £10 and £3 for those aged 4 and under, Tramlines continues to offer some of the best value festival tickets around.
This is just the first wave of talent set to perform at Tramlines 2020. Festival-goers should keep an eye out for further lineup announcements, plus further announcements from across the festival site including lineups for the comedy tent, programming for the eclectic family-friendly area 'Into The Trees', and the return of Speaker's Corner.

Sudanese President, Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir is seen in 2009 after receiving a gift of a pen and mints for the head of state's two wives, from British Labour peer, Lord Ahmed of Rotherham, in a reception room of his palace in central Khartoum.
President al-Bashir is seated against a gold leaf backdrop of Islamic texts in a reception room of his palace in central Khartoum. He is head of the National Congress Party and has been in power since October 1993 and appears across the Sudanese capital on airport posters and books and in shopping malls.


I just found this slide show of a black bear trying to sleep on a hammock on the WCCO website.
Also, I have report from Marcie that she has an update to her mourning cloaks. Awesome photos!
Thursday night, Non Birding Bill and I headed out to Chit Chaturday. An event hosted by fm107 where you can meet the on air personalities and get free food. The event was held near the bird store I used to work at and is called the Bayside Grille, right on Lake Minnetonka. While there, I got a big hug from Ian of a Balanced Breakfast.
Can you tell what it is? I shooed it back to the bush with the nest, but did not put him in the nest. It landed safely on a higher branch. Once a chick flies out and discovers how mobile it can be, it won't stay in the nest any longer. Sometimes they leave a day or two early, but the parents will help guide it. If you can't guess the chick, it's a toughie--this species is known to be a "chipper" little fellow. Get it? CHIPper? It's a chipping sparrow.
Here's the second chick...looks like it got knocked around with the ugly stick a few times. Notice how the shape of this bird is different from the chick above? Look at the way the eyes are bulging. Is this a young chipping sparrow? No! It is a brown-headed cowbird.
For those who don't know, cowbirds are nest parasites, the adults lay their eggs in the nest of host birds and often the host birds loses some, if not all of their brood to caring for a chick twice their size. Cowbirds are a native North American species and are protected under the Migratory Bird Act. However, because cowbirds now follow sedentary humans and not roaming buffalo, their parasitism is speeding the decline of warblers, thrushes and sparrows.
I know how many people feel about cowbirds and I know many people will dispatch a young cowbird. I'll admit, I have removed cowbird eggs from nests, but I just can't dispatch a chick that far along in the growth process...especially at a large outdoor party with many people who don't know birds well but know me as the "bird lady" or "Birdchick". How would that look if someone came up to me while I was dispatching a baby bird?
Cowbirds are a huge debate and I don't know what's to be done or how it's to be solved.

These ranking sets have been generated by a recent version of the software, using recent data and will not match previously published issues of the rankings, especially since a majority of these generated sets are for dates much earlier than the site's inception.
Rankings will list until the next relatively standard increment (Top 5, 10, 15, etc.) after the last fighter at 20 points is found, to a maximum amount (found in the current rankings). At a bare minimum, a fighter needs at least 15 points to be displayed.
Gathering data for the "unknown division lists" are crucial in building these sets, so if you want to help us research, please review these lists and inform us in the forum.
Some of the older divisional lists are very small, or even blank, due to limited fights and/or limited data.
Once deemed as retired or assumed as such (no fights scheduled, no fights in past 900 days from last update or manually marked as retired/deceased/etc), fighters are removed from any ranking pages more recent than their last fight. This is the one major difference between these sets and the current rankings.

Logs show COMPLETED for aborted scans.
The console shows a scan was completed, even if it was aborted by the user. This is misleading and makes it impossible to find aborted/incomplete scans without manually scrutinizing the scan times and making an educated guess.
We're using VIPRE Business on-prem and our users are allowed to use USB devices, so we want USB scanning enabled. This means we also have to allow the users to abort a scan, otherwise with a large drive they may be stuck waiting a very long time before they can safely eject a drive.
Hmm, it's been 28 days and not a single comment. A scan shouldn't be marked as completed if it was aborted by the user. Without a separate designation for an aborted scan, there is no way to tell scans are actually running to completion. Is there a different way to report a bug?

The 351 35 mm mag stems were sent to Signet Soundelux Studios in Hollywood. The stems were electronically auto-conformed in one day as opposed to loading manually which would have taken a month. Once the stems were received, the process to auto-conform the material posed an obstacle. The key to solving the issue was to create an unique identity for each stem of dialogue, effects and picture. Therefore, it was necessary to devise a method to accurately identify the information translated during the picture editing process. Keller met with Kim Waugh, President of Signet Soundelux Studios and it was decided that each reel for both dialogue and fx would have an unique timecode reference that would also correspond to the equivalent picture reel.
Sony Telecine Services was instructed to load both picture and guide track to an Avid Media Recorder. With the exacting timecode, the Avid CMX edit decision list accurately indicated the conformed information which matched the 35 mm stem loaded material in each sound editor's work stations. All 35 mm stems were loaded to Wave Frame digital audio work stations at both Soundelux/Audio Tracks and Signet Soundelux Studios utilizing this unique time code for each reel.
After receiving the edit decision lists from Nikel, the material was loaded and the sound editorial process of auto-conforming began. A conform crew was hired for dialogue and FX and the auto-conformed stereo tracks were split in into on-stage, off-stage and scene changes to make it easier for the mixers to create new predubs. The dialogue was fairly easy to split since the entire movie was looped. Once the movie was conformed, Keller had to listen through all the existing elements i.e. background, effects, foley and had to select what would remain and what needed to be replaced.
The original material was de-noised so that it would be of the highest quality and be best represented by the final SDDS 8 track release format. The effects editors and sound designers replaced nearly 90% of the new conformed 3 hour 26 minute version. Gerry Lentz, Dialogue Mixer at Signet Soundelux demonstrated his expertise on a 60 channel Neve VRP Flying fader console. Lentz transformed a typical German ADR looped dialogue track into a conventional stereo U.S. production soundtrack. A Dolby DSU 4 Matrix was utilized to create a hard center dialogue track keeping the stereo walla left and right. A Lexicon 480L was used to add unique reverb (reality) which gave a sense of being enclosed in a steel environment to scenes which had all been looped and previously untreated. Also used were Dolby CAT noise filters that reduced tape hiss, considering the conformed dialogue was third generation (1st: Original Dolby A Predub, 2nd: Baking original and making copy, 3rd: Loading into workstation and conforming).

Q: SSH firewall pass through Good afternoon. I am working on a project using Ubuntu server and I have 3 VM setup. a Firewall, router, and client (1) for now. I am currently able to use putty to ssh to the firewall then I can ssh to the router and finally I can ssh to the client and write code & compile.
What I want to know is how can I ssh directly to the client with out all the extra sshing?
Thank you
kbot
EDIT: output from sudo iptables -t nat -v -x -n -L on the firewall:

A: First, I would suggest that you merge the firewall and router servers into just one server, because the firewall is implementing the router functionality already.
Lets say that you want to keep the ability to SSH to the firewall, but also add the ability to SSH from the outside world directly to your client. You will need to use a different port for the purpose, as it is the only way for your iptables rule set to determine what you want. I'll use port 2222, but you use whatever free port you want.
You will need a PREROUTING rule in the nat table:
sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i $EXTIF --dport 2222 -j DNAT --to $INTIP:22

Where:
$EXTIF is your external network interface name. I think eth0.
$INTIP is your internal IP address.
You will also need to allow the traffic to get through your FORWARD chain, because your default policy is DROP, which it should be:
sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i $EXTIF -o $INTIF -p tcp --dport 2222 -d $INTIP -m state --state NEW -j LOG --log-prefix "PFNEW2222:" --log-level info
sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i $EXTIF -o $INTIF -p tcp --dport 2222 -d $INTIP -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT

Where:
$INTIF is your internal network interface name. I think eth1.
Notice that there is also a logging rule. Just a suggestion.
Your return path should be O.K.
Other suggestions:
You do not need your current OUTPUT chain rule, because your default policy is ACCEPT.
If you know your external IP address ($EXTIP below), use SNAT instead of MASQURADE:
sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXTIF -j SNAT --to $EXTIP

If you don't then O.K.
I assume you already have forwarding enabled:
$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
1

Inside the Beltway, the military, media, and pundits are all awaiting the president's decision on the strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan. But for more people outside, the decision for war has already been made. Virtual war that is.
"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" is the new video game phenomenon in which the player fights in contemporary conflict zones. As part of a US special operations team, the player roams everywhere from Afghanistan to the Caucasus, winning hearts and minds with a mix of machine pistols and Predator drone strikes. The players also fight out in range of potential new conflict zones, from the rough urban favelas of Brazil to a simulated Russian invasion of Washington, D.C., and the Virginia suburbs (This is actually a major flaw in the game; any invasion force would clearly get stuck in traffic at the Interstate 95 Mixing Bowl).
The game came out on Nov. 10. By the end of the next day, it had $310 million in sales. To put this into comparison, the recent Batman movie "Dark Knight," which holds the Hollywood record, did a measly $67 million in its first day. But perhaps another comparison might be more apt. Roughly 70,000 young Americans chose to join the Army last year. But 4.7 million chose to spend the day after they bought the game playing war at home, many of them not even realizing they were doing so on Veterans Day.
"Call of Duty" is just one of the many popular "first person shooter" games. Indeed, one of its main competitors is "America's Army," in which the player also gets to virtually experience contemporary war without leaving his basement. But while "Call of Duty" was developed by the Infinity Ward company for profit, "America's Army" was developed by the U.S. military to aid recruiting. To log onto the game, you have to connect via the Army's recruitment Web site and give them your information. The gamers can also check out profiles of current Army soldiers and video testimonials of why they joined up.
For the Pentagon, to hitch a free ride off of the video game industry is actually quite savvy. Gaming companies have spent tens of millions of dollars developing technologies designed to re-create battle, as well as easy for the average teen to use. More importantly, these teens enter the military already "trained up" in a certain way. I recall meeting a commander of a Predator drone squadron, a former F-15 pilot, who described the younger generation of remote drone pilots with awe. They had less training and experience than him, but he felt their years of video gaming had made them "naturals" to the fast-moving, multitasking nature of modern warfare.
As the president weighed a war, but most of the public went virtual war gaming on Veterans Day, I thought about his statement, and how perhaps it better applied to our nation. Perhaps the warning label on the boxes should include something other than a parental advisory of drug references and strong language.

Nearly half of ICU staff suffering PTSD, depression, alcoholism or anxiety
Lucy MiddletonWednesday 13 Jan 2021 12:28 pm
Nearly half of intensive care workers are struggling with their mental health, a study found (Picture: PA)
Almost half of intensive care workers have battled depression, anxiety or problems with drinking during the coronavirus pandemic, a study has revealed.
The research, which surveyed staff from nine intensive care wards across England, found that 45% of workers met the clinical threshold for at least one of the following conditions: post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), severe anxiety and depression, or a drinking dependency.
One in eight workers said they had experienced suicidal thoughts or thoughts of harming themselves within the two weeks previous. The study, conducted by King's College London, found poor mental health was more common among nurses than doctors or health workers on the ward.
The surveys were undertaken during the first wave of the pandemic, between June and July 2020. More than 700 healthcare workers took part.
Professor Neil Greenberg of the KCL Institute for Psychiatry, the lead author on the study, said the mental health impact of the pandemic on staff was 'highly likely to impair ability to provide high quality care'.
He said the results demonstrated 'a substantial burden of mental health symptoms' being reported, and noted that it was 'negatively impacting' the quality of life among staff.
The study revealed one in eight workers had experienced recent suicidal thoughts (Picture: PA)
Prof Greenberg added: 'The high rate of mortality amongst Covid-19 patients admitted to ICU – coupled with difficulty in communication and providing adequate end-of-life support to patients and their next of kin because of visiting restrictions – are very likely to have been highly challenging stressors for all staff working in ICUs.'
Dame Donna Kinnair, chief executive of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), also described how nurses had been left feeling as if they have 'no fuel left in the tank' while caring for Covid patients.
She said: 'Their resilience is being seriously tested. Nursing staff need help now to deal with unimaginable levels of anxiety and stress, but there must also be a long-term plan to tackle problems, like PTSD, which may reoccur over many years.'
Separate data revealed that the number of doctors seeking psychiatric help through the British Medical Association (BMA) has risen by almost 50% since the pandemic began.
The study found poor mental health was more common among nurses than doctors or health workers on the ward (Picture: PA)
A total of 371 doctors accessed the BMA's helpline during November last year, up 251 from in January 2020.
An NHS spokeswoman said: 'This is an incredibly tough time for NHS staff working on the front line which is why we have invested £15 million in support, including 38 local mental health and wellbeing hubs and a service for staff with complex mental health needs, such as trauma and addiction.
'The public can also help to support doctors and nurses by following the 'hands, space, face' guidance to reduce pressure on hospitals and save lives.'

In About-Face, S.C. State Board Votes to Stick With Smarter Balanced Test
By Andrew Ujifusa on April 11, 2014 4:28 PM
On April 3, South Carolina Deputy Superintendent Nancy Busbee wrote to districts in the state telling them to suspend field testing of the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium's test because the state was withdrawing from the consortium. Just six days later, the state board voted to do the opposite.
At its April 9 meeting, state board members voted not to adopt a motion introduced by the state education department to withdraw from Smarter Balanced. Apparently, the recommendation was first introduced in one of the state board's committees, the Policy and Legislative Committee. Committee members initially refused to take it up and to place it on the full state board's meeting agenda, but it eventually made it onto the full meeting schedule any way, and that's where the vote to stick with Smarter Balanced took place.
In the video, you can see Barry Bolen, chairman of the state board, speak against the proposal from Busbee before the vote. Bolen says the state has invested too much in the tests aligned to the Common Core State Standards to back out now. Pulling the plug right when schools are trying out the Smarter Balanced test (with no replacement lined up) would be very poor timing. (Bolen begins these comments at about the 3:37:50 mark.)
"We've been spending a lot of time implementing and training teachers and preparing for full implementation in 14-15, and I don't think we should retreat from that. You know, we're six weeks from being out of school," he said, referring to the 2014-15 school year when Smarter Balanced tests will count.
State Superintendent Mick Zais rejected Bolen's argument, however, saying that the work of implementation and preparation is really connected with the common core, not Smarter Balanced, except for the actual field-testing. (Zais is an opponent of the common core.)
So why was the state education department pushing to withdraw from Smarter Balanced? Busbee indicated to the state board that the department was simply anticipating "numerous" proposals in the state legislature to require the state to ultimately pick another assessment.
Board member Jim Griffith, however, said it made no sense to him for the state board to take the plunge the state department desired just because such ideas were being kicked around in the legislature.
However, acting on Busbee's letter, some districts had in fact decided to suspend field-testing of Smarter Balanced before the state board's April 9 meeting, state board member David Blackmon informed board members. Blackmon also worried that based on what the state had done so far, Smarter Balanced might actually drop the state before the state could drop them. So from a statewide perspective, Smarter Balanced field-testing might become a very jumbled picture. To what extent will Busbee's letter cause actual implementation problems for Smarter Balanced's test in South Carolina?
Although the state board approved the use of Smarter Balanced tests back in 2012, the state's Education Oversight Committee must still approve of those assessments before they're official in South Carolina. That vote hasn't been held yet.
The murky situation in South Carolina highlights the increasingly fragmented mosaic of states' assessment plans. It's gotten more complicated than membership in either Smarter Balanced or the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers.

That's a good tip to include wastage when ordering supplies. That way you'll account for breakages and cutting. I bet managers have a percent that they apply to account for waste.
It is important to calculate and plan the budget properly.
Thanks for sharing! I'm remodelling my house, so now I'm looking for good construction materials. It's awesome you mentioned that ordering small quantities can add additional expenses to the transportation services.I'll definitely discuss these tips with the specialists!
I think what you said was interesting about the material being incorrectly applied on the project. This seems to happen very often when materials are used in construction and then we noticed that it was done incorrectly and need to tear it down. These are very good tips to keep in mind to keep in mind for working more efficiently and effectively. Thanks!
A couple days ago my brother called me to up date me on a project that he is involved in. He wants to let me know about the various aspects of the project like how he will be working with construction supplies. It would help him a lot that there are cases of surplus materials, but that some can be returned.
That's interesting that there are times when the supplier did not delivery all of the ordered material at once so the Project Manager orders more and then gets the rest of the first order along with the second which ends up as surplus. It would be smart for a construction company to work with a supplier that would ensure that all the materials would be delivered at one time or at least inform them if the entire order has not been delivered yet. So the construction company may benefit from reviews of suppliers and those who would be honest about their dealings and if there are mistakes so extra supplies won't be ordered.
it's good practice for companies to keep a record of their good suppliers and build a relationship with them. At the end of each project the contractor's project manager should rate suppliers and subcontractors who worked on that project and this should be kept on a central data base.
However, in the case you mentioned, probably the supplier is simply fulfilling the contractor's orders - after all they usually don't know the total quantity required for the project - or indeed if the contractor has damaged or mislaid some of the materials previously delivered. It's really up to the contractor and site management to know what materials are on order, what has been delivered and what's outstanding.
It's good to know more about getting the right amount of building supplies. I like how you said that the cause of shortages is normally just incorrect measuring. I feel like that is so avoidable!
Hi Ridley. thanks for your comments. You're right, much of the waste in construction is avoidable through better planning and management.
HI Paul, I agree with you this was a excellent informative post you have shared on this page about the construction companies with the The realization of a construction project involves a group of stakeholders who provide their services during the design, administrative procedures, site management, and realization of the various elements that will constitute the house or building and the reception of the completed structure. It is possible to distinguish the companies who provide technical expertise and the contractors that carry out the actual construction works, earthworks, structural works and finishing works.
I'm glad that you mention how it's important to make allowance for potential wasted materials due to breakages and other problems. Once you know the amount you need, it would probably be a good idea to research potential suppliers of builders hardware by going online. This could help you find one that can provide quality materials, helping you lessen the breakage and other problems while also helping you get better results.
Hi Tiffany, thanks, you right it is important to discuss with suppliers, in particular understand how the materials will be packed, what sizes they come in and how you'll handle them on site. Packages which are too large may have to be unpacked on site risking breakages. While inadequate packaging may result in breakages when the material is transported and handled on the project.
I agree with you when you said that it's better to order extra materials than ordering the exact quantity because of the situations that may lead you to run short. I'm planning to renovate our house, and I'm looking for ways to make the process better. Your article gives me an idea to avoid delays. Thanks for sharing this.
Hello Bree, I'm pleased you found the article useful. My book 'Build and Renovate Your Home With Your Eyes Wide Open' provides more useful information for those planning or renovating their house.

For as long as anyone can remember, vibrant, shiny hair has been a sign of beauty. It's even a trademark of your favorite fairytales. Unfortunately, in real life, it isn't always so easy to have luscious locks. Sometimes, hair starts to show its age with visible dullness, damage, and, of course, grays. However, if you aren't interested in your strands being a dead giveaway of your true age, you can give your locks an anti-aging refresh. By providing your damaged hair with a proper hair care routine and the right hair care products, you can help bring back the vital health, strength, and hair color so emblematic of youthful hair. Keep reading to find out how to get the rich, radiant hair you've been dreaming of.
WHY DOES MY HAIR START TO LOOK DIFFERENT WITH AGE?
Over the years, hair can become damaged from daily wear and tear. Brushing, washing, and even overly vigorous towel-drying can ruffle the cuticle and leave the hair shaft vulnerable. Moisture and melanin depletion (read: dry, graying hair) are also natural results of aging. The key is to treat hair differently as we age, and give it what it needs: protection before, during, and after you color.
Revamp your routine with these five tips for younger-looking hair.
Not only does changing up your hair color give you a new look, but it can leave your hair in better condition than it was before the treatment. Hard to believe, we know. Whether it's going darker, lighter, or enhancing your natural hair color, dyeing your hair can have the power to brighten your complexion, instill confidence, and give you an age-reversing boost.
In particular, the L'Oréal Paris Excellence Creme is the ideal choice for aging hair because it offers amazing gray coverage while deeply conditioning. A must for hair that's over 50 percent gray, it has the power to transform dull, dry and coarse strands into a silky, shiny mane—all in mere minutes. To dye your hair at-home using our at-home hair color kit, be sure to follow the directions included with the dye.
We've already covered that as you age, you'll notice changes in your hair. And as such, it's only fitting that your hair care routine should change too. Your old shampoo and conditioner just won't cut it anymore. Instead, opt for a color-safe system like the L'Oréal Paris EverPure Moisture Shampoo and L'Oréal Paris EverPure Moisture Conditioner. Throw a hair mask into the mix, like the L'Oréal Paris EverPure Deep Moisture Hair Sheet Mask, and you're all set.
Since your hair tends to become drier as you get older, you'll want to start doing everything you can to add moisture to your mane and stop any habits that could be further drying out your hair. One such habit is using super-hot water, which is something you can easily change. When you turn the temperature up too high in the shower, you risk that it might lead to increased dryness. The simple solution is to switch to washing your hair with lukewarm water.
Just like steaming H2O, heat styling can dry out and damage your tresses. Instead of blow-drying your hair every day, limit yourself to just a couple of times a week—if you can't give it up completely. On days when you go heat free and air dry your hair, you can use a wave spray to enhance your natural texture. Try the L'Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle AIR DRY IT Wave Swept Spray to get wavy hair without using a single heat tool.
Gray roots coming in? Don't let them get you down! You can quickly cover them up with an easy to use root cover-up spray. Spritz your roots with the L'Oréal Paris Magic Root Cover Up to keep your roots hidden until you can make time for a less temporary touch-up.

When 26-year-old Robert Saylor refused to leave his theater seat after watching a movie in Frederick, Md., on Jan. 12, sheriff's deputies were summoned. Saylor argued with the three men, who removed him from the theater forcibly.
Saylor was handcuffed and forced face-down onto the ground. There, he suffocated in a death ruled by a medical examiner to have been homicide.
Beyond any reasonable doubt, the deputies, who have been suspended, did not want to harm Saylor. But they may not have been aware he had Down syndrome, which probably contributed to the difficulty of the situation.
Could the tragedy have been avoided? Perhaps an investigation will disclose that. But Saylor's death is a reminder that law-enforcement officers should have special training in how to deal with people suffering from mental and physical disabilities. Local law-enforcement agencies should look into ensuring their deputies and officers are prepared to handle people safely in such situations.

6 people who've nabbed the nation's top jobs share a common trait
From rocket scientist to actress, these data analysis specialists have varied backgrounds, a common passion for analytics.
6 people who've nabbed the nation's top jobs share a common trait From rocket scientist to actress, these data analysis specialists have varied backgrounds, a common passion for analytics. Check out this story on USATODAY.com: https://usat.ly/2sgParO
Marco della Cava and Eli Blumenthal, USA TODAY Published 7:02 a.m. ET May 30, 2017 | Updated 12:25 p.m. ET July 20, 2017
A recent survey finds data-related jobs among the highest paying in the country. USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO — Folks that have nabbed the most sought-after jobs in America — high-paying technology roles with a focus on data analysis — range from totally self-taught to elite Ph.Ds. But they all share a common trait: a passion for drawing insights from reams of numbers and statistics.
Their backgrounds and the paths they took, from a former actress to baseball-obsessed physics major to an armed services veteran, tell the varied stories of how some Americans have found their way into a market that is booming due to the proliferation of data across industries:
Chris Chan, director of data science at fashion startup MM.LaFleur
Background: Physics major in college that led to a master's degree in statistics and a job with the New York Yankees crunching game stats. Pivoted to data science for tech-focused companies, including Yelp and Buzzfeed.
Advice: "Physics backgrounds are very useful because companies now are swirling with trillions of data points." While some hiring managers question whether boot-camp training is enough, he has had "positive experiences." Chan cautions that there's no way to hide skill deficiencies, "especially at smaller companies where no one has time to hold your hand."
Daphne Dorman, senior software engineer (DevOps) at Vineti, formerly Vitruvian Networks
Daphne Dorman was an actress but after teaching herself web design has branched into a career in DevOps. (Photo: Courtesy of Daphne Dorman)
Background: Former actress, "no college or even advanced math skills." Taught herself website design, and managed the site of a top National Geographic photographer. Contract work for a variety of companies led to her current role.
Advice: Dorman now helps other transgender techies pivot into data science roles. "For me, interest in the field was enough to push me forward, just asking questions and being curious is literally enough." She is big on bootcamps. "Blogs and tutorials are great, but nothing beats face to face instruction."
Theresa Johnson, data scientist, Airbnb
Theresa Johnson traded a Ph.D in aeronautics for a job at Airbnb parsing data for business insights. (Photo: Courtesy of Theresa Johnson)
Background: Has a Ph.D in aeronautics and astronautics with a focus on plasma physics. Switched over to tech, after a few Coursera online courses, when she realized that her big-data background could be put to use at companies looking for insights from such information.
Advice: "You should come in with a familiarity with statistics and statistical frameworks, and enjoy math as well as science and the art of testing hypotheses. You need deep domain expertise." She touts Airbnb Connect, a fellowship that runs promising job candidates through a 3-month Galvanize bootcamp and a six month Airbnb internship. "That program helps democratize what it means to be a data scientist," she says.
Alex Spence, lead product engineer (DevOps) at social media startup Sprinklr

Background: Served in the armed forces in Iraq as a medic, but has "always been very technical." No college degree, but taught himself tech skills by reading articles and books. After the military, he got Microsoft Certification in the Dot-Net framework.
Advice: Find what you need to learn. "Any of the DevOps stuff I've been doing, it's all open-source, there's so much out there for you to use." He does think bootcamps are a great shortcut, because they force you to learn on your own "and stay focused." Locking in your skills is key, he says, because "if there's one thing about this industry, you can't fake it."
Leslie Carr, infrastructure engineering manager (DevOps) at Clover Health

Background: Worked toward a degree in chemical engineering in college but she then dropped out and started doing tech support. Amassed enough system administration skills to be hired by a series of top companies, including Google and Twitter.
Advice: As someone who now hires, she's always looking hard at what tech languages and tools an applicant knows, more than their educational resume. Desire is key. "You have to want to get into this on your own. It's not a path people are pushed into." She adds that smaller companies can't compete with the Googles of the world on salary, so "we look for people who are really driven by our goal."
George Xing, analytics manager, Lyft
George Xing used to work on Wall Street analyzing currency fluctuations and now helps Lyft gain a business advantage from data sets. (Photo: Courtesy of George Xing)
Background: A college degree in computer science and economics led him to a job on Wall Street analyzing currency fluctuations. Moved to the San Francisco Bay Area and got a job at Indiegogo doing analytics. Now serves as link to various Lyft teams looking for data insights.
Advice: "You need to learn the math and develop the right tech skills in order to have the quantitative ability to do the analysis." But as valuable is the ability to translate data findings into English for the less tech-savvy in the company. "Curiosity is so key. The best insights come from people who are hungry and curious about finding new insights about this data."

Leonardo DiCaprio nearly played this iconic Star Wars character
Acclaimed movie star Leonardo DiCaprio was almost cast in a galaxy far far away. Here is the Star wars character that he almost played
Leonardo DiCaprio may be a well-documented fan of the Star Wars movies and the Star Wars series, The Mandalorian. Still, he has never truly ventured to a galaxy far, far away. But that isn't due to Hollywood's lack of trying! Did you know that the acclaimed actor was almost cast in the beloved science fiction movies too?
In 1999, the first Star Wars prequel movie was released, introducing the world to Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi and his relationship with a young Darth Vader – named Anakin Skywalker. In the second action movie of the trilogy, we saw a grown-up Anakin learning the ways of the force, played by Hayden Christensen. But Christensen wasn't the first pick when it came to casting the young Padawan.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight back in 2000, DiCaprio was asked if George Lucas had ever approached him to play the Star Wars character Anakin Skywalker. "We have talked about it," the star said. "but there is no script or anything."
However, despite going on to confirm that he would consider playing the role of Anakin – before his Darth Vader transformation – in the 20002 movie Attack of the Clones, in a conversation with the magazine Short List he shared how he ultimately "didn't feel ready to take that dive". While it might seem strange to learn that the award-winning actor was intimidated by the Star Wars timeline, his turning down of the IP isn't shocking.
It is no secret that DiCaprio shies away from cinematic franchises. In the past, he was also approached to play Robin in the Batman movie Batman Forever. Similarly, he was also put forward to star as Peter Parker in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man movies.
And considering how DiCaprio reportedly gave the advice of "No hard drugs and no superhero movies" to Dune star Timothée Chalamet – we don't see his stance, at least on joining either the MCU or DCEU changing anytime soon.
DiCaprio is also too busy to think about Star Wars. Currently, the actor is set to appear in the 2023 movie Killers of the Flower Moon, and is attached to three more projects, including the drama movie Roosevelt.
For more stellar picks, here is our guide to The Mandalorian season 3.

Ryan Van Wagenen and the Van Wagenen family have always loved to watch and play tennis. One of the best venues in the sport is Wimbledon in London. The court has quite the history and is located on the south west portion of the city near Charing Cross. The actual town of Wimbledon has a population of nearly 70,000. In addition to being where the major tennis tournament is held each year, Wimbledon also has the largest areas of common land in London.
Ryan's father, Ken Van Wagenen, is still an avid tennis fan and watches some of the major tournaments including Wimbledon each year. Ken plays three to four times a week in Pasadena with friends of the family from all over the Los Angeles area.

Managing Invasives
The Sudbury, Assabet and Concord Rivers are home to diverse native communities of plants and animals that have developed over millennia. This natural landscape is threatened by the arrival of invasive non-native plants and animals.
...Beautiful swathes of purple along the river in August. This is purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), an invasive plant which is dominating habitat that used to support cattails and other plants. (Photo: New England Wild Flower Society)
…Green rosettes floating on the water surface, forming broad blankets of aquatic vegetation. Water chestnut (Trapa natans) has colonized all three rivers, reducing the quality and natural diversity of the aquatic habitat and impeding recreation. (Photo: OARS)
...Orange and red-seeded oriental bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus) is picked and made into festive fall wreaths. This aggressive vine is climbing trees and choking them to death. (Photo: New England Wild Flower Society)
The spread of non-native species is becoming a global issue, and a very difficult one to manage. These species are aggressive, displace native plants and animals, degrade natural biodiversity, and alter natural processes. Invasive species move from human settings like gardens and agricultural areas to wild settings. They do not respect property lines, so management must be considered on a broader scale.
The SuAsCo Invasive Species Task Force was formed in 2005 to provide a forum to discuss invasive species management in the watershed, coordinate efforts, and share ideas and resources. Supported by a small grant from the River Stewardship Council (RSC), the SuAsCo CISMA (Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area) was founded in 2009. CISMA is a partnership of resource management organizations, including towns, government agencies, land trusts and other non-profit groups, formed to manage and control invasive species in the Sudbury, Assabet, and Concord watershed. Through CISMA the partners share information, educate the public, jointly apply for grants for control projects, and plan strategies for dealing with invasive species. Partners also share staff and volunteers on control efforts. CISMA supports "early detection and rapid response" for invasive species and has identified the "Sour 16" most prevalent problem species in the watershed.

Una  central hidroelèctrica reversible és una central hidroelèctrica que a més de poder transformar l'energia potencial de l'aigua en electricitat, té la capacitat de fer-ho a l'inrevés, és a dir, augmentar l'energia potencial de l'aigua, per exemple, pujant-la a un embassament, consumint per a això energia elèctrica. D'aquesta manera es pot utilitzar com un mètode d'emmagatzematge d'energia (una mena de bateria gegant). Estan concebudes per a satisfer la demanda energètica en hores cresta i emmagatzemar energia en hores vall.

Encara que l'habitual és que aquestes centrals turbinin/bombin l'aigua entre dos embassaments a diferent altura, hi ha un cas particular anomenat centrals de bombament pur, on l'embassament superior se substitueix per un gran dipòsit, essent-ne l'única aportació d'aigua la que es bomba des de l'embassament inferior.

Origen
La demanda elèctrica varia constantment i cal que les centrals elèctriques generin l'energia demandada a cada instant. Existeixen centrals que, per causa de la tecnologia de generació que empren, no poden variar fàcilment l'energia generada (p. ex. les centrals nuclears), mentre que d'altres centrals (les centrals tèrmiques convencionals) tenen diverses restriccions tècniques i econòmiques sobre aquestes variacions. Les centrals hidroelèctriques són una de les tecnologies que menors restriccions presenten a la variació de càrrega.

Aquestes centrals s'integren en el sistema de «Dipòsit energètic en xarxa» i ajuden a adaptar la generació a la corba de demanda, de manera que es redueixen les variacions d'energia que han de realitzar les tecnologies menys apropiades per a això. Així, les centrals reversibles bombarien a les hores vall, i turbinarien a les hores cresta.

Parts d'una central hidroelèctrica reversible

La central hidroelèctrica reversible està conformada per:
 Un embassament situat al peu de la central.
 Un embassament situat a major altura, que serà al que es bombarà l'aigua.
 Una central hidroelèctrica reversible que serà l'encarregada de turbinar o bombar l'aigua entre els dos embassaments. La central estarà formada per un conjunt de turbines (normalment turbines Francis) i generadors (normalment síncrons), per a produir l'energia elèctrica.

En el cas de les centrals de bombament pur, l'embassament superior consistirà en un dipòsit elevat de capacitat suficient per a funcionar de 4 a 6 hores. Si és possible, és millor que aquest dipòsit sigui com una caverna, d'aquesta manera s'evita l'evaporació d'aigua amb alta energia potencial.

Procediment
És preferible (gairebé imprescindible) que tant les bombes com les turbines funcionin a potència i cabal nominal. D'aquesta manera, a les hores vall, de demanda energètica mínima, totes les bombes estaran en funcionament, bombant aigua cap a l'embassament superior. A mesura que la demanda vagi creixent, s'aniran apagant bombes.

Quan comencen les hores cresta, totes les bombes estaran apagades i es començaran a encendre les turbines. En moments de demanda màxima totes les turbines poden estar funcionant.

D'aquesta manera, la gràfica de la demanda energètica és molt semblant a la gràfica de bombament-generació d'una central hidroelèctrica reversible, solament que aquesta última és «dentada» per causa del component discret de les bombes.

Les centrals hidroelèctriques reversibles, tenen un menor rendiment quan estan funcionant com a bombes que quan estan funcionant com a turbines.
