Czech Rikishi ShiroiKuma takes 2nd place at the 2006 World Sumou Championships in Oosaka, Japan.
The heaviest Sumou fighter in history - 400kg - World Champion, Emanuel Yarbrough in the Czech Republic, attending Sokol Sumou Cup in Jilemnice in June 2006.
Our Union has been spreading and popularizing Sumou in the Czech Republic since the last millennium. Why is it spelled Sumou and not Sumo?
Sumou is not only a sport, but also a philosophy, a guide to traveling through life, how to overcome yourself. What is Sumou?
Our athletes represent the Czech Republic in major international Sumou competitions, including amateur and professional ones.
Our member-lineup includes medalists from World Games, European Championships, World Junior Championships, European Junior Championships, and a number of major international local competitions, all the way from Hawaii, across Europe, to Japan.
Czech Sumou Union is a member of: International Sumou Federation, European Sumou Union, Czech Martial Arts Union, Czech Federation of Sports and Czech Olympic Committee. Our goal is to spread the ideas of Sumou in all of Czech Republic. To this end our member clubs and individual members work endless hours.


I don't get it. You want the answer to the question "How long is a mile?" to be "1 mile"? What's the point of that? If the question is "How tall is the Eiffel Tower?" or something, I'm there with you. I think the options should always be presented in both metric and US, so as not to favor any population. I proposed that already and got shot down, so it is what it is.
Which game is the world's most-subscribed massively multiplayer online role-playing game of all time?
this question is already in the data base under different wording.
not only is the whole point of the question to test knowledge about the metric and US system, but the question is already in the data base for the US people with the question "how many feet are in a mile."
just had this question AGAIN... it should be erased as the question is formulated WRONG. so the answer will often be wrong because of it since you need to GUESS what the correct question is.
again.. what is the phrase "and a half brick" supposed to mean? 1 brick + half a brick? the question should read "2 kg AS a half brick" or "Half a brick weighs 2kg."
I'm just going by the "where are you from" forum thread. And no, geography doesn't dictate WHAT is a good question, however, it could have an impact on how a question is best ASKED.
For example, if this was a US/Canada only game, it would be Football and Soccer - two different sports... But because there is a large European (amongst other things) user base, our "Football" must be designated as either American Football or the NFL. By the same token, a European asker should likely use the term Soccer to describe their game of Football / Futball, to accommodate Canadian/American users to whom the term "football" would cause confusion. Just one of MANY examples of the same language having different geographical definitions - so that's why it must be remembered that the game is indeed global - with apparently a largely (but not entirely) North American & European population base.
And your point is......? You said that in every country in Europe/Canada/US more people play Field Hockey than Ice Hockey... Then you say that because of short summers, some countries play for Ice than Field. So your blanket statement has a few moths. And I don't recall saying anything about India, etc. I just wanted you to acknowledge that you made a foolish statement. Especially about Canada - that was just dumb.
Yes, I noticed that on one of my recent searches - tagged google.ca, not .com... My bad. Then again, you said there are more F-Hockey players than Ice Hockey players in Canada & the US... So you still have the biggest blunder here.
Ok, so when someone posts about "Hockey" - what does that mean?
And just shut up about "long and short corners in soccer". Amongst the answers listed, Soccer was the only sport that actually HAS corner play - therefore was the only viable option... Unless you interpret "Hockey" as Field Hockey. Which, as Stekkos has already ruled, would be the minority opinion. If F-Hockey was one of the listed options, I would have selected it.
if X = 2kg + X/2 how much is 2X?
Britain has two with 6 medals each, one of whom has more gold medals than the other, so finding the right one is not that hard, but after the next Olympics, who says the answer will be the same? So this one needs a year.
Another issue is the definition of the most successful Olympian of all time, in some sports there are few medals available while in other there are several. I don't know the answer to this and have no opinion as to what the definition should be.
Which of these countries is not in Asia?
Well actually Egypt does lie partly in Asia, The Sinai Dessert is not in Africa.
Who is the highest paid sports person for 2010?
Uhm 2010 isn't over yet, so this might prove premature, not that I say it will turn out to be wrong.
How many rounds does a team have win to get to the NCAA Basketball championship game?
From 2011 there is an extra round where 8 teams compete for 4 places, or that's how I understand the description on wikipedia. So next year the answer will be 5-6 rounds.
Where is the line between national sporting events with international interest and purely national events with no interest to players from other countries?
This is a national event for the US, so not many people outside the US is likely to know what it is. Luckily wikipedia has an entry on it. But as far as I know this tournament has no connection to any International sporting event, but it is one of the most prominent sporting events in the US, so to me this is a perfect example of a question that should or should not have been admitted to the database, based on where that lies.
What do yellow roses signify?
According to one site, but still it's ambiguous I think.
The Twin of Apollo is?
Delete one if they are too similar, I'm not sure how strict you want to be on the duplicate questions.
Read above lol, YOU are saying thats what i said, read what i said and you will see i said nothing of the sort:) your bad your blunder:) Your Canadian tho so I wont hold it against you I lived in Canada for a few years and its one of my fav countries in the world.
Ok, so when someone posts about "Hockey" - what does that mean? it means field hockey, if some one wants to talk about ice hockey then they would say ice hockey, that IS the most accurate description sorry to say.
What is the name of the dwarf planet that comes after Haumea?
The question is valued as "Bad, incorrect question"!
Spelling mistakes in question or answers.
But according to the wikipedia it does not. I have taken the question and answer from there.
What form did fire form after merry and pippin lite it in LOTR. (will edit with exact question when I run into it again).
As this is first time I run into this question I'll assume that it is fairly new. I watched lord of the ring at least 2 times (every movie from series), and I really don't even have slightest idea on what part of the movie this is related to, not to mention what form did the fire form.
Few pages back on one of the quizz forum section stekkos made a good point about asking this kind of questions using ( lol) LOTR type of question to explain. In short if you have to watch the movie again and search for the answer of the movie related question , it is bad question, and then I get this question?
I don't mind googling every other historical on geog question, but I d like a fair shot on answering at least movie question about movie I saw twice without using google.
"None of the above" is not accepted as a possible answer.
Which of the following fiction hero is not human?
Are vampires human? most would say no, so I think Dracula should be replaced by some other character.
Well in the book, Merry and Pipin didn't light any fireworks, that was Gandalf, in the film they do however light a lot of it, one of the rockets takes the form of a dragon.
I agree with this completely. And actually, right now, there is still a play-in game between the 64th and 65th seed, so the answer has been 5 or 6 for quite a while. If the question was phrased "From the Round of 64, how many blah, blah, blah?", then this would be a Sports -or- Math question, since you wouldn't need to follow the NCAA to do a rudimentary halving system and get the answer that way. As it is though, the Q should be kicked.
There's no lesson to be learned here, except that yours is the minority opinion.
I agree that Ice Hockey and Field Hockey should both be defined as such. But in the failure of that, Ice is clearly the default.
Well, fun as it has been, the hockey debate has run its course, surely?
For the record: Field Hockey has been around in various forms for centuries, unlike its icy counterpart which is a relatively recent creation. That alone is enough to suggest that the original sport is called 'hockey' while its new spin-off should need extra help to identify it, hence 'ice' hockey.
The Olympics have had Hockey since 1908. The Winter Olympics (see how the word 'Winter' is added to make the distinction?) has only had Ice Hockey since 1924. Indeed, look at the official Olympics website and they refer to the two sports as 'Hockey' and 'Ice Hockey'. No need for the word 'Field'.

Dr. Ronald Taniguchi and his wife, Alice, have made a $25,000 pledge to fund an endowed scholarship to support third and fourth year students at the Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy at the University of Hawaii at Hilo.
Recipients will be high school graduates from the neighbor islands of Kauai, Molokai and Lanai, and have demonstrated leadership skills and a commitment to community service.
"As a founding father, faculty member and now a benefactor, it is difficult to envision stronger dedication than has been embodied by Ron Taniguchi and his wife Alice. We are humbled by their generous support and mindful of our obligation to live up to their expectations," said Founding Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy Dean John M. Pezzuto.
Dr. Ronald Taniguchi served in leadership roles at two of the largest healthcare organizations in Hawaii – Kaiser Permanente and HMSA (Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Hawaii).
He has also been a leader in the community and held multiple positions in pharmacy associations at the local and national levels.
He capped a 40-year pharmacy career as a faculty member at the UH Hilo College of Pharmacy where he served as the director of community partnerships from 2008 – 2011. In this role, he helped galvanize business and industry leaders to lay a strong foundation of support for the college.
Alice Taniguchi earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Master of Public Health degrees from the University of Hawaii at Manoa and was the first nurse Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE) in Hawaii.
If you are interested in supporting the students and programs at the Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy, contact the UH Hilo Development Office at 933-1945.


Envision Lighting Design, LLC is now a registered Program Ally of the Ameren Illinois ActOnEnergy Efficiency Program! What does that mean? We've been through training so that we can navigate the energy incentives available to Ameren Illinois customers.
What a bargain! They want to GIVE YOU MONEY for doing the right thing in lighting, but some of the incentives are about to expire. New energy standards are phasing out production of some lamp types in the USA. As of July 2012, production of most T12 fluorescent lamps will end. If your facility still has T12 fluorescent lamps installed, you can receive a rebate from Ameren for each lamp you replace with a more efficient option! Of course, these rebates are about to be discontinued since production of the T12 lamp is being discontinued. If you complete your project by March 31, you will receive a $3-$7 per lamp rebate PLUS a 10% bonus PLUS an early completion coupon for a 10% bonus on your next project. Act now because all T12 rebates will end on May 31, 2012. Seriously, they are paying you to put in products that will save you money. This one is an obvious choice.
If you want to know more about rebates available through the ActOnEnergy program, contact Envision Lighting Design!

This 75-foot tall glass tower, evocative of a lighthouse, is part of the Tom Ridge Environmental Center (TREC) located at Presque Isle State Park in Erie, Pennsylvania.
The TREC faux lighthouse with its visible (131 steps) staircase reminds me of how we, as lighthouses for God, need to be not only strong and firmly grounded in our faith and convictions but at the same time relationally transparent. People, especially non-believers, should be able to see that true followers of Jesus Christ are made of flesh and blood. In other words, that we experience the same challenges and emotional and physical distresses as anyone else. But they should also notice that we are not easily engulfed by the clouds of defeat, self-pity, and condemnation. For, even though we are subject to the troubles of this world, we have been equipped to confront them with supernatural peace and joy. And this is what actually sets us apart.
Many a time we Christians feel like we have to walk around as if we were untouchable or like nothing ever affects us. We portray ourselves as perfect beings simply because we got religion. Now don't get me wrong, the grace of God is powerful enough to help us live victoriously regardless of our circumstances, but as vessels still in the making and totally dependant on the Holy Spirit, we must be very careful that our confidence doesn't turn into spiritual arrogance. If the great men and women of the Bible, including Jesus himself, had no qualms in revealing their emotional, mental, and physical limitations/struggles, then it is safe to conclude that we too can express our brokenness without shame or the fear of criticism. In doing so, we can become transparent lighthouses that can effectively and relationally share (shine) the Good News of salvation.
So the question is, are we transparent enough (in our workplaces, homes, schools, social gatherings and yes, even churches) so that others are able to see our shortcomings and learn from our determination to overcome and continue living for Christ? Are we giving them reasons to trust us and the power of the Gospel working in us? On a daily basis, we ALL face the temptation to hide behind a facade of piousness and/or appear as if we have it all together. If and when we give in to such temptations, we are actually obscuring our motivations in order to falsely gain trust and appear to be in control. We cannot even foresee what will happen tomorrow let alone know exactly how we will react to any given situation, especially bad news. So, we need to accept the fact that we are NEVER in control. God and only God is in control.
Being transparent doesn't come without risks and challenges. It means you have to become like a glass case, inwardly visible, fragile, and vulnerable. But remember, some glasses are shatter resistant. They allow us to appreciate things of great value while keeping them safe and secure.
By allowing others to see through us we make ourselves more relatable, approachable, and trustworthy. Therefore, it can actually strengthen and protect our ethical and spiritual integrity. In fact, when we let others see how we deal with life's challenges (hopefully in a spiritually disciplined manner) we are more effective in proclaiming the mercy and grace of God than by always appearing to be trouble-free or worry-free. Besides, that is not what the Gospel of Jesus Christ offers to those who embrace it. If anything, it comes with warnings of imminent persecution. However, it also comes with the guarantee of power to experience unfathomable peace, unspeakable joy, everlasting hope, and unconditional love in the midst of turmoil. These things, although supernatural, are possible and are best represented when we are honest (transparent) in our relationship with God and with others.
This doesn't mean, of course, that we have to expose everything about ourselves. There are personal matters that need not be divulged. However, we shouldn't confuse pride, guilt, or the misconception of holiness with the right to privacy. For this can greatly increase the chance of portraying ourselves in a falsely positive light and give the impression (not that we haven't already) that Christians see themselves as faultless and as "holier than thou." If and when questions surface about our motives, integrity, challenges, and shortcomings, a solid track record of openness, genuineness, and immutable faith will be the best antidote for misplaced doubts and judgments against us.
Transparency was very important to the Apostle Paul's work with the Corinthians, and we can follow his example when living transparently among believers and non-believers alike.
Prayer: Dear Lord, you can truly relate to me since you did not shy away from showing your humanness when you walked upon the earth you created. Help me to be relatable to others as well. Keep me from hiding behind a pious mask so that they may know that they are not alone in their struggles. But help me also to remain steadfast and uncompromisingly faithful to you, so that they can also witness the power of your mercy and grace. In your most precious name, I pray. Amen.
I totally love your focus on the different kinds of lighthouses and the spiritual lessons we can learn from them. Spot in every time! This is no exception! Thanks!
Thank you, Karen. We all shine the glorious light of our Savior when we use the talents He has gifted us with. Your Blog is certainly one brightly shining beacon!
This is so good. I think it's so important to show our humanity and not walk around fake and phony. The world actually needs to see us struggle so they can appreciate the help and peace we receive from the Lord. Good stuff.
Thank you, Teri. Indeed, the best method to effectively witness is to be a "real" witness. God bless you. Keep shining your light for Jesus!
Excellent post! This is how we should daily live. Thank you for sharing. God bless you.
Thank you, Tanya! Indeed, I always say that transparency amplifies the message of transformation (grace and mercy) in Christ. God's blessings to you and your family as well.
Love this. I wrote a poem called "Muddled Mind" of which brought comments from my fellow Christian friends worried of my spiritual status. I had to reassure them my faith was as strong as ever, yet I steel feel my human condition.
Thank you, Phyllis! I've learned that being transparent does not only help us become more relatable, but it actually guards us against spiritual pride when others look up to us as counselors, mentors, and as leaders in general. I don't ever want to become anyone's crotch (god or idol), so I am quick to let people know I am also a repentant sinner who struggles and is still in need of a Savior.
Christians are lighthouses. This writer illustrates this powerfully.
I love lighthouses but was not familiar with this one. Thanks for sharing this plus the powerful content!

The Early Modern Book in England
Course Convenors: Arnold Hunt; Giles Mandelbrote
Maximum: 15 students
Venue: Senate House
During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the English book trade was transformed from a small business into a major industry. This course explores the history of the production, distribution and consumption of both printed books and manuscripts in England during this crucial period of change. Tracing the rise of publishing in English, it will examine some of the factors which stimulated the growth of the book trade, such as the Reformation, the English Civil War, the role of the Stationers' Company and the spread of literacy. Themes such as copyright legislation, censorship and control of the press will be discussed, as well as the role of manuscripts in an age of print, the development of new markets in the English provinces and overseas, and the emergence of new printed genres such as newspapers and novels. The course will introduce the records of the Stationers' Company (with a workshop held at Stationers' Hall) and the English Short-Title Catalogue as research resources. It offers an opportunity to look closely at books as historical artefacts, including aspects such as formats, imprints and survival, and to interpret the physical evidence in the light of a range of contemporary documentary sources.
The course is taught jointly by Arnold Hunt and Giles Mandelbrote, both formerly curators (of manuscripts and early printed books respectively) at the British Library. Arnold Hunt teaches early modern history at the University of Cambridge. His publications include The Art of Hearing: English Preachers and their Audiences, 1590-1640 (2010), and his research interests are focused on the history of religion, censorship, the book trade and the history of collecting. Giles Mandelbrote is the Librarian and Archivist of Lambeth Palace Library (founded 1610). His research interests are mainly concerned with the history of the book trade, book ownership and collecting in early modern Europe. Among his publications are Out of Print & Into Profit: A history of the rare and secondhand book trade in Britain in the 20th century (2006), volume II (1640-1850) of The Cambridge History of Libraries in Britain and Ireland (2006), and Libraries within the Library: The Origins of the British Library's Printed Collections (2009).

Q: How to boost indices query inside a boolean query So what I'm trying to achieve is partial matching with customized searchable fields per index.
I generate a match_phrase_prefix with the value to search, and if it is more than one word, I generate another one per word.(I could use prefix, but it bugged, or has undocumented settings).
In this case, I'm trying to look up for "belden cable"; the query looks like this:
{
    "query":{
        "bool":{
            "should":
            [
                {
                    "indices":{
                        "indices":["addresss"],
                        "query":{
                            "bool":{
                                "should":
                                [
                                    {"match_phrase_prefix":{"name":"BELDEN CABLE"}}
                                    {"match_phrase_prefix":{"name":"BELDEN"}},
                                    {"match_phrase_prefix":{"name":"CABLE"}}
                                ]
                            }
                        },
                        "no_match_query":"none"
                    }
                },
                {
                    "indices":{
                        "indices":["customers"],
                        "query":{
                            "bool":{
                                "should":[
                                    {"match_phrase_prefix":{"_all":"BELDEN CABLE"}},
                                    {"match_phrase_prefix":{"_all":"CABLE"}},
                                    {"match_phrase_prefix":{"_all":"BELDEN"}}
                                ]
                            }
                        },
                    "no_match_query":"none"
                }
            }
        ]
    }
}

My target search is to get the results that have "belden cable" first, then the searches for just "belden" or "cable".
This returns(by example) 4 results that have "belden cable", then a result that has only "cable", then more results of "belden cable".
How can I boost the results that have the complete value of the search?("belden cable")
I've tried separating the indices query of both words and separated words, but it gives worst relevance results.
Also I've tried using a boost statement inside the match_phrase_prefix for "belden cable" without change in the results..

A: What you actually need is a different way of analyzing the input data. See below something that should be a starting point to your final solution (because you need to consider the full set of requirements for your queries and data analysis). Searching with ES is not only about queries, but also about how you structure and prepare the data.
The idea is that you want your data to be analyzed so that belden cable stays as is. With a mapping of "name": {"type": "string"} the standard analyzer is being used which means that the list of terms in your index is belden and cable. What you actually need is [belden cable, belden, cable]. So, I thought on suggesting the shingles token filter.

If the U.S. has one signature meal, it's likely a burger and fries. Salt Lake City is known for the pastrami burger, which was invented in Los Angeles but really caught on in SLC. Another popular burger in SLC is the blue cheese bacon burger. There's no lack of places in Salt Lake City to get a hot, juicy burger, with options for all tastes.
Lucky 13 is near Smith's Ballpark, home of the Salt Lake Bees. It's primarily a bar, so customers have to be 21, but Lucky 13 serves some of the best burgers in SLC. Many of the 15 different burger offerings are topped with house-smoked bacon. I recommend the Celestial Burger, with bacon, cheddar cheese, grilled onions and house-made barbecue sauce.
Crown Burgers is best known for the pastrami burger, which the restaurant's founders John and Rula Katzourakis and Nick Katsanevas first sold in Los Angeles but popularized in Salt Lake City. It is pure meaty, salty goodness. In business since 1978, Crown Burgers is the oldest of SLC's Greek-owned burger joints.
Six other locations; see the Crown Burgers website.
Salt City Burger Co. serves up some tasty burgers, fries and onion rings. They have a toppings bar so you can fix up your burger any way you like. I recommend the bacon burger, made with either beef or chicken. The bacon is ground right into the burger meat.
Rich's Burgers-n-Grub near Main Street and Broadway serves up mighty fine burgers and fries, plus other "elevated fast food" favorites. Try the blue cheese crumble, green chile burger or Maui BBQ burger. All the burgers can be made with grilled chicken or a veggie patty.
At Tonyburgers the secret is in the meat, a blend of 3 cuts of beef that the proprietors won't reveal. Choose your own toppings - if you're extra hungry, try the fried egg. French fries are shoestring cut and twice fried.
Additional locations in Clinton and Centerville; see the Tonyburgers website.
Pago is one of Salt Lake City's best restaurants overall, winning multiple awards and getting positive reviews for New American cuisine. Why would you order a burger in an upscale restaurant? Pago's burger is one of the best in the city, with local beef, sweet smoky bacon; Gouda, pickled onions, and black garlic aioli.
The Copper Onion is consistently one of SLC's most acclaimed restaurants, and they serve up a big, flavorful burger with caramelized onions and red wine sauce on a substantial house-made bun, with hearty potato wedges on the side.
Burger, fries, and a shake - or better yet a root beer float, because outstanding root beer is what made Hires popular when the place first opened for business in 1959. The onion rings are great, and oh yeah, the burgers are good, too. If you're in the mood, try the chili burger. Hires is a true drive-in where servers will bring food out to your car, and who doesn't secretly love eating in the car? Zagat named the Hires Big H one of their 25 best burgers in the USA in 2013.
Additional locations in Midvale and West Valley: see the Hires website.
B & D Burgers, next to the University of Utah, is a favorite with college students and nostalgic locals. B&D offers burgers with creative topping options, chicken kabobs, gyros, zucchini fries, and dozens of shake flavors. The best day to go is Tuesday, when 1/4 lb. burgers are 99 cents.
Fiddler's Elbow is a neighborhood sports pub known for good food. Burgers come in regular or garlic, with your choice of toppings. They also have a vegetarian or vegan black bean burger. Get it with fries, or you could try the smash potato of the day - smashed potatoes with tasty mix-ins.
Salt Lakers have come to love Five Guys Burgers and Fries, a Virginia-based chain offering quality burgers, tons of toppings, and fresh-cut white or sweet potato fries that are cooked in peanut oil.
Locations around the valley; see the Five Guys website.
Greek-owned burger places pop up everywhere in Salt Lake City, and locals love them. Like Crown Burgers, Apollo, Astro, and Olympus are family owned burger/diner operations run by Greek-American families. They all serve pastrami burgers, plus a surprisingly large menu of American and Greek dishes. I'm obsessed with the chicken gyro from Olympus Burgers - a soft, puffy pita bread stuffed with a huge portion of juicy chicken, flavored with lemon and herbs and topped with tzatziki.
Vertical Diner, one of Salt Lake's favorite vegetarian restaurants, offers three kinds of veggie patties with appealing toppings like guacamole, jalapenos, and vegan cheese.

Super Dancer 4: Anurag Basu is haunted by the memory of Shilpa Shetty, said – messaged, but did not reply.
#Super #Dancer #Anurag #Basu #haunted #memory #Shilpa #Shetty #messaged #reply
Mumbai: Bollywood's famous actress Shilpa Shetty is keeping a distance from the dance reality show 'Super Dancer 4' these days because of her husband Raj Kundra. Every week a new guest is called to make up for the lack of Shilpa in the show. Now the judge of this show, Anurag Basu has started remembering his co-judge Shilpa Shetty. In a recent interview, Anurag has revealed about Shilpa's return to the show.
The filmmaker in an interview to HT Anurag Basu On Shilpa Shetty Said, 'Yes, we miss Shilpa a lot on the sets. Whoever we are a part of this show, we all have a good bonding, including the people behind the scenes and the choreographer. We are a small family and when one person is not around, it is very difficult. We all love Shilpa. Anurag further said that he had messaged Shilpa asking when she would return to the show but unfortunately did not get any response.
The filmmaker says, 'I don't know when she will return to the show. I messaged her asking when are you coming back, but I didn't get any reply, so I don't know when she will be back. I can't say anything, I don't know what is happening. Hope he is back in the show soon. Shilpa Shetty Kundra was the regular judge of the show along with Geeta Kapoor and Anurag Basu. But, last week, one of the cutest couples of Bollywood, Genelia D'Souza and Riteish Deshmukh arrived as special guests. Both of them also performed on one of their romantic numbers. Which won the hearts of the audience.

The three-wave conversions (such as the nonlinear generation of light pulses of second harmonic frequency and parametric amplification of light signals), photo-induced in all-optically polled glasses materials, have been investigated. Theoretical considerations of the investigated phenomena show the interesting peculiarities of the process of three-wave conversions in photo-integrated volumetric micro-structures of nonlinear polarizability with the existence of a regime of synchronous two-beam transformations of light pulses. During the experimental investigation of the phenomena in the bulk oxide glasses the complicated kinetics of the formation of second-order polarizability gratings has been detected. Some properties of the phenomena have been studied and the possible mechanisms of the dynamics of processes are discussed.

BlueModus Gives Back to The Huntington's Disease Society of America
BlueModus has made a $500 donation this month to Huntington's Disease Society of America, as part of its ongoing commitment to give back to the community. The Huntington's Disease Society of America (HDSA) has a mission to improve the lives of everyone affected by Huntington's disease and their families. Huntington's disease (HD) is a fatal genetic disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain, deteriorates a person's physical and mental abilities, often occurs early on in life, and is irreversible. Unfortunately, this disease has no known cure.
As the premier nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by this disease, HDSA is a provider of everything from community services and education to advocacy and research. Since 1999, HDSA has been able to commit more than $20 million to fund scientific research to find effective treatments to slow Huntington's disease. Their research efforts have helped to shed light on many complex biological mechanisms involved in the disease. Throughout the United States, the organization also maintains many chapters and affiliates, support groups, social workers, and Centers of Excellence, as well as provides local medical, legal, social, and therapeutic resources for those that need them.
"I selected this charity because this disease speaks to me on a personal level as it has affected those I am close to," shares Justen Turner, Office Manager at BlueModus, "I have seen how Huntington's affects the brain and causes the breakdown of movement, thinking, and psychological issues. My wish is this contribution can assist all people and families living with this disease in any way possible. Hope remains."
To learn more about HDSA and all the ways you can support their important work, please visit their website here.
2020 marks an expansion of BlueModus' charitable give-back program, in which two colleagues each month will be selecting charitable causes important to them to receive a $500 donation. Click here to read about the other selection made this month.

Lipo 360, known as 360 degree liposuction – is a more comprehensive cosmetic procedure that combines liposuction of the entire midsection to achieve an overall curvier, contoured figure from every angle.
While liposuction is usually done on one area at a time, 360 degree liposuction targets multiple regions of the midsection where stubborn fat may be a problem. This can help create a more balanced, proportional appearance.
The recovery process can be lengthier when a general anesthetic is used during the procedure. Patients should rest after the procedure so the body can recuperate faster. A compression garment can cover treatment areas after surgery. Compression garments or elastic bandages help control swelling and bruising. Temporary drains may also be placed in the incisions under the skin to eliminate excess fluids and blood.

All Patrick Healy Fellows Resign From Program, Citing Discrimination From Board
December 2, 2020 by Noa Bronicki 4 Comments
All of the Georgetown University Patrick Healy Fellows publicly resigned from their fellowships through an Instagram post Nov. 1 after months of attempting to get the board to fix an atmosphere the fellows characterized as hostile to marginalized communities.
The post was removed Nov. 2, according to the fellows. It is unclear who deleted the post, which has since been widely reshared on both Instagram and Twitter.
The Patrick Healy Fellowship, a program at the Center for Multicultural Equity and Access, was founded in 1997 to bring together leaders who want to advocate for issues affecting communities of color through on-campus programming and education. The PHF consists of the Alumni Board and student fellows who are selected through an application process.
PATRICK HEALY FELLOWSHIP/FACEBOOK | All of the Georgetown University Patrick Healy Fellows publicly resigned from their fellowships after months of attempting to fix discrimination from the board.
Student fellows experienced elitism, classism, sexism, queerphobia and racism in the program, according to the fellows' resignation letter.
"The fellowship asks for a strong relationship between alumni and fellows, and through our 'Letter to the PHF Board' we asked for extremely reasonable changes in the fellowship to be made after experiencing repeated instances of racism, queerphobia, sexism, classism, etc," the social media post reads.
The fellows attempted to address these issues in an Aug. 27 letter to the fellowship's leadership, according to Briana Thomas (COL '21), a former fellow who resigned over the summer before the rest of the group but helped the fellows get in touch with administrators and organize their requests.
Among the letter's requests were the removal of a board member who had made racist and classist comments, the removal of certain unnamed fellows facing sexual misconduct allegations, the removal of a GPA requirement for applicants and more transparency between the board and fellows.
The fellows' concerns focused on power imbalances within the fellowship, according to Rimpal Bajwa (SFS '22), one of the fellows who resigned.
"Even though there aren't that many white alumni in the fellowship [board], they were still more centered in the fellowship, which to me didn't make much sense because the power dynamic was very off," Bajwa said in an interview with The Hoya.
Although the fellowship is intended to be a safe space for students of color, Bajwa said the language used by the board members was sometimes offensive. For example, one of the board members, a white woman, told a Black fellow that she came off as aggressive during her interview, according to Bajwa.
"Hearing that language of an angry Black woman, that's such a stereotype, and it's such a trope that's been used to mitigate the voices of Black women," Bajwa said. "It was definitely a very racist and sexist thing to say to a Black woman."
Bajwa said the same board member advocated for keeping the GPA requirement for acceptance into the program, choosing to prioritize academic achievement over community work and activism, which the fellows viewed as both classist and elitist.
"Which just plays into this whole entire notion of respectability politics that says that you should be striving for academic excellence while completely neglecting this activism work, which is equally as important," Bajwa said. "Hearing that she wanted to value academics more than the work that we're doing and mitigating the stuff that we're doing on campus was really hurtful because we place great value on the work that we do, and we think that it's really important work."
The fellows who resigned were not the first cohort to have concerns about the fellowship program, according to Thomas.
"The fellowship has never felt like a safe space for me," Thomas wrote in an email to The Hoya. "Everyone who came before us never really advocated for a change at the level we are currently doing because the fellowship breeds that professional networking and contacts are more important than moral integrity and actually supporting the voices of students of color."
Bajwa said the PHF board did not reply to the original August letter.
"We just thought it was strange that we would write a letter and there's no response — dead silence for two weeks," Bajwa said. "We don't even get the respect to get a response."
After the fellows sent a follow-up, one board member told the fellows they could reach out via email or phone if they wanted to have a conversation with the board. The fellows rejected the board member's invitation to talk, however, requesting a written response to their initial letter.
The board deemed the fellows' manner of communication in this exchange to be inappropriate, according to the letter shared in the fellows' social media posts.
The board's inaction to redress the fellows' concerns prompted their public resignation, according to Bajwa.
"When we voiced our concerns, they basically told us that we could just resign. I feel like that says a lot about how little they value our voices and how little they actually value our opinions and input," Bajwa said. "The fact that they're not willing to change to address these concerns and changing needs of students on campus just shows that they're not there for students of color. They're just there to maintain this image that they're there for students of color."
Diversity, inclusion and community are still top priorities for PHF despite the conflict with this year's fellows, according to the PHF Alumni Board.
"The PHF Board is committed to dialogue, and made multiple attempts to engage with our Fellows in discussion in the spirit of our founding principles," the board wrote in an email to The Hoya. "We will continue to hold space for dialogue around issues our Fellows raise, especially those related to transparency, inclusion and respect."
The fellowship plans to continue its work and remains committed to its pillars, according to the board's emailed statement.
The board consistently disregards student voices and opinions, so the fellows hope their public resignation makes potential applicants reconsider their interest, according to Thomas.
"I hope anyone who wants to apply simply does not," Thomas wrote, "and that is the main reason for our public resignation to really inform students on what we've experienced and model that you never have to stay anywhere where you are not respected no matter the benefit."
About Noa Bronicki
Good for you, they made me feel like trash because of my GPA, which wasnt that low to begin with, but questioned why it was not to their standards which was intrusive because there were actual reasons that were personal. Then an administrator on campus minimized my experience in the interview process because the fellowship.
Ridiculous says
If a GPA requirement or someone calling you "aggressive" is such a big deal for you, you have no idea what's coming at you once you enter the workforce. Your life is so good you're literally struggling to find something to be outraged about.
Good god. More non-specific whining and claims of trauma from the professional victim class. There's nothing here. Nothing specific. It's absolute bullshit that these fellows suffered.
Actual Rational Hoya says
Thanks for wasting the space that more productive people could have utilized.
Like literally this stunt is in opposition to actually maintaining your GPA and student responsibilities? You don't need to spend $70K to whine about everything.


August is a great month for hunting and fishing. If you drew an early big game tag for antelope, elk, deer or a special archery tag it's time to get packing for a possible hunt of a lifetime. If you're like the rest of us you'll have to wait a bit longer. More on that in our next column.
The good news is that the fishing is still great for tuna on the west coast. Try a late summer family fishing trip out of San Diego; recent reports are still showing plenty of yellowtail tuna in the area. There is even a chance for a giant Blue Fin further off shore on a full day trip.
Consider introducing the kids in the family, or the kids in someone else's family to a first-time experience they will never forget. The half-day fishing boats are an excellent way to introduce them to deep-water ocean fishing. The bonding experience doesn't get any better and you get to become a young boy's or girl's hero – that's sort of special. Remember the first time someone showed you how to tie the improved clinch knot? It's through these experiences we are able to pass on our outdoors skills and preserve a heritage, which if not used will be lost.
Well, the Rock Cod and a variety of inshore fish are biting; you may even have a chance to catch some of the other warm water fish such as albacore, barracuda, or one of the least appreciated, but one of my all time favorites – the scrappy mackerel. All of which, when caught on light line, give you the same sensation as their big cousins, the Yellowfin Tuna or Dorado.
It's an exciting thrill to hear the line "sizzling off" from the reel as the fish makes its first run or heads for the bottom. The raucous activity of your fellow fishermen, as they also hook-up and the taste of the salt air is also part of the experience. As good as this experience is watching your son, daughter, or friend get excited over their first fish is even better.
If this is your first time for a major tuna trip, here are a few tips.
Often beginners don't know what to expect, or have unrealistic expectations. They are unaware of challenges brought on by weather, improper equipment or facilities, inexperienced skippers and crew, significant expense, or simply the difference between fishing and catching.
If done improperly, the first time experience may be the beginner's last and only excursion and we've lost the potential to encourage a future angler and possibly gain a life-long fishing partner.
In my quest for the perfect introductory ocean fishing experience I choose San Diego, California, as the best place to start due to its predictable weather, pleasant surroundings and abundant fishing fleet operators. It also offers more than just a fishing opportunity with its many attractions, ample accommodations and long history of pleasant southwest hospitality.
To test my theory I invited a longtime friend and co-worker Laura Oslund to join me. She had never fished, but for many years was anxious to try the new experience.
Next I called my friends at H & M Landing, San Diego's oldest and most experienced sport fishing company. They started this business in 1935 and are still located on Point Loma, not far from the airport, or Interstates 15 and 8. So, for us it was freeway all the way.
After checking in with them the night before, it was a 6:00 AM departure. I had two choices for a day trip: the Coronado Islands for a full day or the half-day fishing excursion to the Point Loma kelp beds. I chose the shorter half day just to test my friend's sea legs and get used to the new equipment. I knew we would catch a wide variety of fish and have some fast action angling. After all, these were my old stomping grounds as I was a "deckie" at H&M during my college days. I wanted this opportunity along the beautiful San Diego coast to be positive.
It was a good choice; the deciding factor was our limited time and the possibility of a greater numbers, but possibly smaller fish. It also gave us the opportunity to explore and visit some of the other sights and nearby activities.
Within forty-five minutes of leaving the harbor we were hearing the familiar shouts to the deck hands, "hook-up, gaff," everyone was soon into fish. First it was a beautiful red and black Sheephead, then a White Sea Bass and then we hit the school of beautiful Bonito. These speedsters, of the tuna family, almost pulled the rod from my friend's hand as she had her first fish on, then another and another.
Sensing the activity and always ready for an easy meal, we were soon surrounded by hungry sea lions. Their antics and habit of stealing the hooked fish frustrated some of the more experienced anglers, but was fascinating to the first timers. Their huge bodies flew effortlessly through the water and with the agility of acrobats did what they do so well – eat fish. This necessitated a move to another area and we hit another group of mixed fish species.
At the end of the trip my friend remarked to the skipper, "This was my first trip, it won't be my last; it's now an addiction." This was the purpose and goal of the trip. By early afternoon we were back at the landing, arms sore, a bit sunburned and our inexperienced "sea legs" weary from the constant balancing act. It was a good day and the fish will make good table fare.
Yes, that's right, I got skunked and wouldn't have mentioned it now, but it likely will end up on the local news, knowing her and our local newspapers.
Laura was anxious to return for a full day adventure. Perhaps she'll take me with her again; I deliver bagels and untangle lines like a pro.
The trip was then balanced with a visit to the Maritime Museum on the harbor waterfront where you can board the "Star of India," the world's oldest active ship, built in 1927; the 1898 steam ferry "Berkley;" the H.M.S. Surprise, a magnificent replica of an 18thcentury royal navy frigate; or you can tour an actual decommissioned Soviet sub.
Also, not to be missed is a trip along the peninsula's Sunset cliffs on your way to the Point Loma Lighthouse. If you have an extra day there's the San Diego Wild Animal Park, The Zoo or Sea World. You may even choose another day of fishing, my favorite. All of these combined will make a new fisherman's trip something never to be forgotten.
The message; take a kid, or someone new to fishing or hunting, on your next adventure. We'll all be better off for it, having added another fishing partner to the outdoor family.
If you have a story or comment about this or other articles, please contact me at dansimmons@usa.net or give me a call at 775-727-9777.
A delightful aspect of deep-water fishing for cod and bass is that you do not measure your catch in numbers, rather in tonnage. The challenge is to prepare these delicious fish with new and innovative recipes. Fish and chips can't be beat, grilled cod or sea bass is delicious with a sauce over rice, but on one of those overcast or rainy afternoons fish chowder is my choice. Laura makes the best I've ever tasted.


Since brackets and wires tend to trap food and plaque, you'll want to brush with braces in the morning, before bed and after meals and snacks. If you're out and you don't have your toothbrush on hand, rinse really well with water after snacking and brush when you get home. Floss with braces once daily using an orthodontic flosser or waxed dental floss threaded through a floss threader. Don't forget to add a cavity-fighting mouthwash to the mix too. You may also find that an interproximal brush is helpful for getting in the tight spaces around your hardware.
If you use Invisalign instead of braces, you're not off the hook! After investing in your smile, of course, you'll want to make keeping it healthy a priority. To do that, always take your aligners out to eat and drink anything aside from water. Never drink sugary drinks with your aligners in because the sugar will just sit on the teeth. In addition to brushing in the morning and at night and flossing once daily, brush your teeth after meals before you put your aligners back in.
Wear your appliances according to plan – The effectiveness of appliances, such as your Invisalign aligners, or any extras that go with your braces like rubber bands really depend on how well you stick to your treatment plan. Always wear them as directed to get the best results. We typically have our Alaska, Bothell, Monroe and Mill Creek Invisalign patients wear their aligners for about 22 hours per day. If you have rubber bands or another type of appliance with your braces, we'll give you instructions for how often to wear those too.
Keep up with your orthodontic appointments – Appointments are important because they let my team and I assess your treatment progress and make any necessary tweaks to ensure you finish on time and get the amazing results you deserve. If you're wearing braces, you'll have regular adjustments where we tighten your wires so that your teeth continue to shift into place. With Invisalign, while you don't need adjustments, your occasional check-ups let us keep the process on track.
Pass on sticky, hard or chewy foods if you're wearing braces – When you start treatment, a team member will fill you in on exactly what not to eat with braces. In general, you should avoid really sticky, chewy or hard foods, including taffy, Starburst, nuts, pizza crust, popcorn, Doritos, whole raw apples or carrots, gum, Tootsie Rolls, licorice, corn on the cob (off the cob is A-Okay). They can damage your braces and they also get stuck between your brackets and wires. Honestly, giving up those few things will seem completely worth it when you see your fantastic new smile. If you're having trouble sticking with this resolution, focus on all of the things you can still eat. After all, things like smoothies, mashed potatoes, and the occasional milkshake are great foods to eat with braces. One of the advantages of Invisalign is that you don't have any food restrictions so you can continue to eat whatever you'd like. However, remember to take your aligners out before indulging.
Befriend your Invisalign or Invisalign Teen case – There are a lot of advantages of Invisalign but the one thing that can be a challenge is keeping track of your aligners. You'll get a case to store them in when they're not in your mouth and it will simplify things if you make it a habit from the get-go to use it. Losing aligners is a hassle because you'll need to come in for a replacement. Skipping ahead to the next set isn't usually an option since each tray is programmed to achieve specific tooth movements.
Visit your general dentist twice a year – Though dentists and orthodontists are both smile professionals, we specialize in different things. As an orthodontist, my focus is on correcting malocclusion, or issues with the spacing, positioning or size of the teeth and jaw. Your general dentist, on the other hand, takes a broad view of your oral health and screens for cavities, gum disease, and other problems. They also help in the prevention department and with professional cleanings, they're able to remove hardened plaque that you can't eliminate on your own with just a toothbrush. That's why it's essential to continue to see your dentist twice a year, or however often they recommend, for check-ups and cleanings throughout your orthodontic treatment.
Protect your smile and appliance with a mouthguard – One of the best tips for having braces is to invest in a mouthguard as soon as you get your braces put on and wear it whenever you're playing a sport or doing a physical activity where there is a risk of getting hit in the face. The brackets and wires can cut the soft tissues of your mouth and impact can damage your braces. However, even if you have Invisalign, a mouthguard is a key way to protect the new smile that's developing. Only certain sports, such as football, field hockey, ice hockey, lacrosse and wrestling (when the wrestler is wearing braces), require mouthguards, yet basketball and baseball have some of the highest rates of orofacial injury and things like skateboarding can certainly result in a blow to the mouth. A mouthguard is super inexpensive in comparison to dealing with a dental injury and wearing one is such a simple measure to take to keep your mouth safe.
