The Chicago Botanic Garden is actively maintaining, restoring, and recreating four natural areas at the Garden: woodlands at McDonald Woods and the Brown Nature Reserve, the Dixon Prairie, the Skokie River Corridor, and the 60-acre Garden Lakes. These activities teach restoration ecologists a great deal about habitat management, which can be applied in other regions.

Several years ago, while walking the nature trail in McDonald Woods, I stopped, having heard a high-pitched squeaking emanating from the sedges and grasses along side the trail. (This was when my hearing was still acute enough to detect such high-frequency sounds.) It took me a while, but based on the emphatic commotion, I finally realized I was hearing either a romantic interlude or territorial dispute between two of the smallest carnivorous mammals in our woodland: shrews.
Actually, shrews are technically known as insectivorous mammals. Insectivores are critters that depend, to a large extent, on invertebrates, mostly insects, for their survival. I wasn't sure which shrew this was, but more than likely, it was one of the commonest species, the short-tailed shrew (Blarina brevicauda).
The short-tailed shrew averages about 4.8 inches (122 mm) in length, with the tail being about a quarter of the length of the body and head combined. It is by far the largest of the shrews we will see here. They are generally a velvety, dark gray color and have a conical, pointed snout. The ears and eyes are quite small and are mostly embedded within the fur. To aid in moving through the environment, and perhaps catching prey, short-tailed shrews use a form of echolocation, similar to bats, to move around in tunnels and the dark of night.
These high-energy, secretive animals are active year-round, so their presence is more noticeable when the ground is covered with snow. If a healthy population exists in good habitat, it is not unusual to spot their miniature tracks trailing away from small tunnel openings in the surface of the snow. If you are particularly lucky, you might happen upon a real nature drama where an owl has captured a shrew, leaving behind a dead-end trail of tracks and wing patterns in the snow.
Imprints in the snow of a screech owl's wings tell the story of the shrew that didn't get away.
Although short-tailed shrews are primarily crepuscular or nocturnal in their habits, they are often spotted scurrying around during the day under bird feeders in winter or around woodpiles or similar habitats other times of the year. Most people who spot shrews believe they are seeing mice, voles, or moles. In fact, some of the common names for these critters include mole shrew or shrewmouse. Mice and voles are rodents, which have incisors—those chisel-like teeth for consuming plants and seeds. Moles, like the shrews, are insectivores. The shrews, being insectivores and occasionally preying on other small mammals, have teeth designed for ripping and tearing, not unlike miniature wolves or weasels.
Short-tailed shrews, when active, are constantly in motion and can be easily irritated. They become aggressive if confronted by other shrews or predators. I once had a captive short-tailed shrew that I was trying to photograph in a terrarium. I placed an upright log in the enclosure for it to climb up on so I could get a better picture. As I approached with the camera, the shrew spun around to face me and leapt at the camera, then scurried away out of sight.
The short-tailed shrew has an additional distinction of being venomous. Venomous mammals are rare in nature, so this gives the short-tailed shrew a particular distinction among our local fauna. (There have been two toxins found in the saliva of this shrew: blarina toxin and soricidin.) Grooves on the outer surface of its lower incisor teeth that help inject the saliva into its prey. This venom can easily kill or immobilize the insects and worms it feeds on, but it sometimes uses the venom to help it feed on prey larger than itself and is able to subdue frogs, rodents, or even small rabbits.
Although this venom should be of concern to a mouse, bug, or frog, humans do not have much to fear. On the rare occasion that anyone would handle one of these secretive animals, the bite might burn and produce some swelling, but it is not life threatening. Interestingly, research has been conducted to investigate the use of this shrew venom in treating a number of medical conditions.
It is not unusual to find shrews lying dead on paths and in fields or woodlands. Although there are quite a few species of shrews, in our region the most common species are the short-tailed shrew and the cinereus, or masked shrew (Sorex cinereus). Just the other day, while walking along the edge of the woodland, I discovered two dead masked shrews. This is the smallest shrew species we are likely to find here, and it is also quite common. It is also insectivorus but does not have venom for subduing prey. Like hummingbirds, shrews have an incredibly high metabolism and do not live very long. In fact, much of the time they are not hunting or eating, they spend curled up asleep to conserve energy. In the case of the short-tailed shrew, however, its toxic venom probably makes it taste bad, so they are often killed but not eaten.
A long-tailed shrew, the masked shrew (Sorex cinereus) has a pointed nose and is browner in color. It averages about 3.8 inches (97 mm), nearly half of which is its tail.
If you should be observant enough on your walks through any woodland to find an owl pellet—the regurgitated fur, bones, and feathers from past meals—you can dissect it to see what the owl has been eating. Since owls have more primitive digestive systems than hawks, the bones are not digested and turn up in the pellets. Most small mammals can be identified by examining their teeth. Shrew remains are often found in the pellets and can be quickly identified by the fact that the tips of their teeth are stained a dark brown.
Shrews are fascinating and valuable components of our natural world. Since much of their diet includes larval stages of moths, they help control many of the pest species of moths such as cutworms, army worms, spruce budworms, and other caterpillar pests of forests and gardens. Next time you are out in a natural area, keep an eye and ear alert to these miniature predators.


Do you know whats the worst thing to diet? It's when you start to day dream and you get really bored easily. So here I am, sitting..
If anyone who had read my earlier blog before it went offline a week ago, you'd have probably read about the reason why I started..
Ok, I was born fat. Since I was still a baby, I was already really heavy…that's according to my mom. As a small boy, I was..

Q: How to empty(or reset) all the input fields on a form after successfull submission in AngularJS in following code? I've a following controller code with me :
var app = angular.module('app_name');

app.controller("manageUsersController", [ "config", "$scope", "$http", "$mdToast",
    function(config, $scope, $http, $mdToast) {

        $scope.add = function() {
            var userData = {
                email : $scope.manageUsers.email,
                password : $scope.manageUsers.password,
                schoolId : '1',
                name : $scope.manageUsers.name,
                mobileNumber : $scope.manageUsers.mobileNumber
            };
            $http.post(config.webServicesUrl.postAddUser, userData, headerConfig).success(
                    function(data) {
                                    displayToastMessage("User added successfully", $mdToast);
                    }).error(function(error) {
                        console.log(error.error);
            });
        }
    }]);

All the HTML fields are input fields and are accessed using $scope object.
I tried with $setPristine but it didn't work.
Somebody please help me in setting all the fields to empty upon successful submission of form only in my code.
Thanks.

A: If you want to reset your form upon completion, I think you have to reset the $scope.manageUsers object manually once your post request has resolve:
  $http.post(config.webServicesUrl.postAddUser, userData, headerConfig).success(
    function(data) {
      // has I don't know if you have other properties
      // I reset each property manually,
      // but you could probably do $scope.manageUsers = {}
      $scope.manageUsers.email = null;
      $scope.manageUsers.password = null;
      $scope.manageUsers.name = null;
      $scope.manageUsers.mobileNumber = null;
      displayToastMessage("User added successfully", $mdToast);
    }).error(function(error) {
    console.log(error.error);
  });

A: You can use $setPristine() here:
$http.post(config.webServicesUrl.postAddUser, userData, headerConfig).success(
  function(data) {
    displayToastMessage("User added successfully", $mdToast);
    $scope.form.$setPristine(); // <---------here.
  }).error(function(error) {
  console.log(error.error);
});

Plnkr demo in action.

A: It should work for you.
 $http.post(config.webServicesUrl.postAddUser,userData,headerConfig)
               .success(function(data) {
                  $scope.manageUsers={};
                  displayToastMessage("User added successfully.", $mdToast);
              }).error(function(error) {
                  console.log(error.error);
             });

Cohort Study of Monozygotic Twinning in IVF
D.A. Vaughan, E. Cleary, A. Penzias, and D. Sakkas
Emma Holt
What is Monozygotic Twinning?
Why does it matter to the researchers and why it should matter to every IVF patient
The incidence of MZT has greatly increased among IVF patients compared to the general population, but the reason for this is unclear. Monozygotic twins are a result from one zygote that separated into independently growing cell aggregations at the early stage of development. These twins are always of the same sex, have the same genetic constitution, possess identical blood groups, and closely resemble each other in physical, psychological, and mental characteristics. Freaky.
Researchers from this study sought to investigate the incidence of and risk factors for MZT. The purpose of this study is to educate and inform patients undergoing IVF about what monozygotic twins are and independent risks that may result.
Details of the Research
Who was included and when
The authors, D.A. Vaughan, E. Cleary, A. Penzias, and D. Sakkas put together the retrospective, multicenter, cohort study from over the course of 17 years. Ten large IVF clinics from January 2000 to January 2017 were reviewed and the research included fresh and thaw cycles in the analysis. Monozygotic pregnancies were identified by the number of fetal heart beats when they've exceeded the number of embryos transferred. The researchers performed a binary logistic regression to discover risk factors for MZT.
Results & Conclusion
What are the risk factors for MZT?
Throughout the entire study, there were about 124,000 clinical pregnancies identified in the database. 50,215 pregnancies resulted from fresh transfers and 11,709 pregnancies resulted from thaw transfers. 352 cycles were confirmed as MZ twins with 198 in the fresh cycle and 152 in the thaw cycle group. Independent risk factors for MZT were found to be prolonged embryo culture, thaw cycles and increasing numbers of oocytes retrieved in the index cycle. However, increasing numbers of embryos transferred seemingly decreased the risk of MZT. While the average age of the patient who had MZ twins was 36.4, age nor micromanipulation techniques seemed to extend additional independent risk.
As of today, this is the largest investigation of monozygotic twinning in IVF. The authors have proven that prolonged embryo culture is a major risk factor for MZT. Not only that ,but thaw cycles are also twice as likely to result in MZT.

A doctor donated sperm 30 years ago. Now he has at least 17 kids, lawsuit alleges
By Theresa Waldrop and Konstantin Toropin, CNN

Sperm donor sues fertility clinic over excess children
When an Oregon medical student was asked to donate sperm in 1989, he was promised that only five offspring would be born – all on the other side of the country – according to a lawsuit alleging a clinic violated the agreement by allowing the birth of at least 17 babies, among other alleged violations.
Now a doctor, Bryce Cleary claims in his $5.25 million lawsuit that Oregon Health & Science University didn't adhere to a stipulation that his sperm could only be used by women living on the East Coast. The result, the lawsuit says: Most, if not all, of the 17 were born in Oregon, and some of the children went to the same schools, church or social functions as their half-siblings without knowing they were related.
Cleary is claiming he is the victim of fraud and has suffered emotional distress since learning about the births.
"I wanted to help people struggling with infertility, and I had faith that OHSU would act in a responsible manner and honor their promises," Cleary said at the press conference. "Recently I became painfully aware that these promises were a lie."

"OHSU treats any allegation of misconduct with the gravity it deserves," Tamara Hargens-Bradley, a spokeswoman for OHSU, said in a statement, adding that the university can't comment on the case because of patient confidentiality obligations.
Cleary, who has three sons and an adopted daughter he is raising with his wife, found out about the other children when two of them contacted him in March 2018. Looking for their biological father, they used Ancestry.com and "specific and substantive information" from the fertility clinic itself to identify him and other siblings.
Cleary then sent off his own DNA to Ancestry.com, and that led to the discovery that he had at least 17 offspring born through his sperm donations, the lawsuit says.
'I knew something was wrong'
"When the matches came back, I knew something was wrong," Cleary said."There were four instant matches and the odds of that happening was not reasonable."
"It feels like OHSU really didn't take into consideration the fact that they were creating humans," Allysen Allee, 25, who was conceived with Cleary's donated sperm, said at the press conference. "They were reckless with this and it feels like it was just numbers and money to them."
Cleary donated sperm at OHSU after the hospital's fertility clinic encouraged him and his male classmates to participate in a research program by donating their sperm, according to the lawsuit. Cleary alleges he was assured by the university that the sperm would be used either for research or fertility treatments, or both.
Because the facility didn't keep records of where the sperm was sent and used at places outside of the state and region, "it is impossible to discover just how many of children born of Plaintiff's donations reside in Oregon, the United States, and/or the world," the lawsuit claims.

The much loved Fiat 500 is celebrating it's 60th Birthday and is still Forever Young.
To celebrate the birthday, Fiat has created a limited edition Fiat 500 Anniversario vehicle.
Based on the 500 Lounge, the Anniversario brings vintage logos, chrome plating and "full" 16-inch rims. To complement the look, three exclusive paint finishes are available: Riviera Green, Sicilia Orange and Gelato White.
Inside, there's new seat fabric, coloured dash inserts, Anniversario floor mats and - to prove the 500 is indeed still young - a Uconnect five-inch infotainment screen with Bluetooth connectivity and navigation. "The Fiat 500 Anniversario Edition offers a glimpse into the iconic heritage of the Fiat brand and pays tribute to the vehicle which launched 60 years ago," Fiat Australia boss Fulvio Antonelli said.
The Fiat 500 Anniversario limited edition model will be available at Zagame Fiat from November 20th 2017.

"He's using religion to win over public opinion" and "he's exploiting Islam to serve his political aims" are only some of the accusations the Muslim Brotherhood made against their number one rival, Egyptian presidential candidate Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi. Who would have thought the tables would turn and religion would become card in Sisi's hand and the basis of an accusation levied by the Brotherhood.
Sisi certainly struck a chord and made the Brotherhood lose their temper and he competed with them by talking about his vision of religion. Until recently, the Brotherhood were accusing him of being against Islam and Muslims. Sisi succeeded at the test of faith, and the Brotherhood's confusion stood out from their contradiction. Are they accusing him of fighting Islam or of using it? Religion is, after all, the only political card that was actually winning.
Although Sisi is new to politics, it seems he succeeded in gaining the public's sympathy as he talked about his personal religious faith and the role of religion in people's lives. His statements didn't seem fabricated, political or aimed at serving electoral aims. This angered the Brotherhood so they accused him of exploiting religion for political ends. The truth is, Sisi didn't use Islam but he defended himself against the Brotherhood's accusations that he destroyed mosques, jailed scholars and preferred Christian Copts over others. To respond to these accusations, Sisi presented himself as a patriotic Egyptian and a pious Muslim who deserves the citizens' trust. He succeeded in competing with the Brotherhood in their specialty: religion. A number of religious figures also supported Sisi and commended his piousness.
We don't know who Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi really is. He says he's a Nasserite, an Anwar al-Sadat supporter, a patriot, a modernist, a man of the military and a Muslim. He's clearly all of the above but he's not a politician in the vocational sense. This is why he appears natural and accepted by the general public. The Brotherhood's war will not target his reputation, righteousness and patriotism. They will probably doubt his ability to manage the state and criticize his statements, including his previous statements such as: "dividing a loaf of bread may contribute to ending the bread crisis, graduates buying vegetables from wholesale markets and selling them in the streets would end the unemployment crisis and Egyptians' use of energy-saving bulbs will decrease the crisis of power cuts." This campaign won't benefit them because the elections are near, and most Egyptians probably want a president they can trust and want the army institution to be capable of saving the country from the chaos that has spread since the beginning of the revolution.
The Brotherhood has been blinded by rivalry and not by competition. Instead of dealing with reality and admitting the truth that they failed to properly govern the country, they are betting on spreading violence and sullying their rival's image. The result seems to be clear. Elections will grant Sisi the legitimacy necessary to take over governance, gain the world's recognition and launch a new era.

My mother had her blood work done last week, which is all well and good. Well, Thursday the doctor's office called and asked for me, even though mom answered the phone.
They proceeded to tell me that most of her numbers were good, but her renal numbers were up and had the doctor talk to us about dialysis.
Now this upset me, but it was the doctor that my mother doesn't see that read her blood work and we were told mom's doctor would call on Monday.
Well no call came yesterday.
Also I found her paper work from her June blood work and the numbers weren't much different. She has also been on an antibiotic for a month for oral thrush..which can affect creatinine and BUN numbers.
I'd like to take that doctor and beat her with a stick, because she gave mom palpitations all weekend.

URDANETA CITY—About 15,000 runners are expected to join the 42nd Milo Marathon first elimination leg here on July 15.
Tess Bernardino, Milo Marathon sports organizer, told a press conference that Urdaneta City government led by Mayor Amadeo Gregorio Perez IV, is hosting the event for two successive years.
She said this year's events will likely surpass the 12,000 number of participants last year.
The categories are 3K and 5K for elementary and secondary students aged seven years old and above who are fun runners, and the 10K and 21K categories are for elite and professional runners.
Participants from Regions 1, 2, 3 and the National Capital Region are expected, she added.
"It's a good story to promote our region," she said. "It's an LGU (local government unit) partnership shaping the community into good and healthy lifestyle," she added.
City Administrator Ronald San Juan said the event was coordinated with the Department of Education to ensure a good number of participants including the local police, Public Order and Safety Office, City Health Office are set to provide the support services.
P/Superintendent Rollyfer Capoquian, city police chief, said an augmentation police force will be deployed to ensure smooth traffic flow and to maintain peace and order during the event which starts at around 4:30 a.m.
There will be re-routing of traffic flow during the marathon and normal routing will be restored at 8:00 a. m.
Capoquian said Urdaneta City was chosen again as host of the event because it is one of the safest cities in the country.


This past weekend saw the 2019 edition of the STARBURST International Film Festival take place at MediaCityUK, and boy was it a weekend to remember.
In amongst the madness feature films and shorts played across three rooms over the Friday and Saturday, with genre icons Lloyd Kaufman (and his good wife The Commish, of course!) and Luigi Cozzi on hand to take in an event brimming with positivity, with likeminded souls, that had some seriously talented people showcasing their work, and that, yes, had a well-positioned bar to hand.
As is always the case with the STARBURST International Film Festival, the event came to a close with the famed STARBURST Fantasy Awards in which the highly coveted (don't let us see those on eBay!) Roboto statues were up for grabs.
Seriously, we try not to toot our horn too much here at Moonbase Alpha, but what a weekend that was. On behalf of the STARBURST team, we would like to extend a huge thank you to everybody who attended the STARBURST International Film Festival. For the readers of our magazine, thank you for your continued and passionate support. For the filmmakers and talent who attended or submitted content, thank you for providing such a ridiculously high quality of films and shorts for us all to enjoy. For the crew who helped make sure that the event went off without a hitch (something that still feels weird saying…), thank you for being nothing short of flawless and fantastic.
Now while we enjoy the fallout of the 2019 STARBURST International Film Festival, that's not to say we're going to be resting on our laurels. Oh no, we'll be back again in 2020 and we'll be tasked with somehow topping what was the quintessential genre weekend for independent film. Again, we thank you all for making this weekend so special, and we hope to see you again next year.


DES MOINES, Iowa -- As the colder temperatures are beginning to settle in, officials say it's time to take a closer look at your furnaces and other appliances.
A Des Moines family said a $15 alarm they didn't even know they had, saved their lives.
It was a normal fall evening when Alisa Woods was giving her daughter a bath and she heard an unfamiliar alarm going off in her home just about one month after moving in. So she called her husband, her father and then 911.
MidAmerican also responded to figure out where the carbon monoxide was coming from and discovered the source was the water heater.
"When MidAmerican was here and testing it he said if you didn't have that carbon monoxide detector you would have died. You know, he looked me square in the eye and said if you didn't have this you would have died. And I'm sitting there holding my two year old, you know, thinking, What could have happened to us had we not had it?" Woods said.
She said a recently installed attic fan also contributed to the problem.
"If you've done any recent maintenance on the house, changed things, had a service call; don't assume that it's functioning 100 percent. Be conscious when you first turn on your furnaces. Don't do it at 10 o'clock at night and go to bed. Run it during the day. Make sure your filters, your air is cycling property," Des Moines Fire Department PIO Brian O'Keefe said.
O'Keefe said it's important to make sure vents where fumes are released are clear of debris.
"When we moved in our inspector said, "You know it's a good thing to get with an HVAC company, get with a heating and cooling company and have them check your appliances every fall, every spring." And you know, I kind of rolled my eyes, but now I'm going to get with a company and do that for sure. It's going to be worth the money that we are going to pay. It's going to be worth the peace of mind," Woods said.
O'Keefe said it's important to have a carbon monoxide detector on each level of your home.
Carbon monoxide detectors need to be changed every five years to ensure proper detection.

StrNode = "Batch" + Append.Batchcnt.ToString() + "(" + strSelectedClassCode + ")";
frmmain.loadFromForm(StrNode, true, strSelectedClassCode);

On my main form i have my code as follows
public void loadFromForm(string strNode, bool bResult, string strStandardClsCode)
    {
        if (Append.oldbatchcontrol != strNode)
        {
            if (tvwACH.SelectedNode.Text == "FileHeader")
            {
                tvwACH.SelectedNode.Nodes.Add(strNode);
            }
            if (tvwACH.SelectedNode.Text == "BatchHeader")
            {
                tvwACH.SelectedNode.Nodes.Add(strNode);// After this i have to add another node as a child to that added node and also if a node with particular name exists i would like to write the text with a count value appended
            }
  }
        }

So that my treeview should be as follows
ACH
|->Some.txt
  |->Fileheader
    |->BatchHeader
       |->Batch1
          |->Entry1
          |->Entry2 and so on // These two should be added dynamically after that Batch1

A: Use this instead :
public void loadFromForm(string strNode, bool bResult, string strStandardClsCode)
    {
        if (Append.oldbatchcontrol != strNode)
        {
            if (tvwACH.SelectedNode.Text == "FileHeader")
            {
                tvwACH.SelectedNode.Nodes.Add(strNode);
            }
            if (tvwACH.SelectedNode.Text == "BatchHeader")
            {
                TreeNode node = tvwACH.SelectedNode.Nodes.Add(strNode,strNode);// After this i have to add another node as a child to that added node and also if a node with particular name exists i would like to write the text with a count value appended
                node.Nodes.Add(...);
            }
  }
}

A: You usually need a recursive function to build a tree. For example:
private void AddNode(NodeParent, Data)
{
    Node oNode;

    //Check if this is the first node
    if (NodeParent ==null)
    {
         oNode = new Node(Data.Name);
    }

    //Step though each child item in the data
    foreach(DataItem in Data)
    {
        //Add the node
         this.AddNode(oNode, DataItem);
    }

    oNode.Nodes.Add(new Node(Data));
}

This code is a rough guide, but it should give you an idea.

Hi! I am new to 3D printing. I have problems with Colorfabb's copperfill filament. When I try to print something, I end up with a few succesfull layers, but after that with a blob of plastic (see picture 1.). I tried swapping out the nozzle, cleaning up the hot end and changing the temperature and I am able to get something printed (see picture 2.), but it just crumbles like the nozzle would be clogged though it's not. I used the first time 210C on the nozzle and 60C on the bed, second time 195C and 50C first layer 40C to the rest. My printer is a Tevo Tornado. Can somebody help me?
I would try using a larger nozzle diameter if you are using a 0.4 try 0.5 0.6 the resolution won't be as good. You can also try printing at a slower speed and perhaps stainless steel nozzle. These filaments are aggressive and wear out nozzles faster. Or get a gold color filament non filled.
Thanks for your answer! I will try printing with these tips and let you know what happens.
Sorry, did not work. I use a hardened steel nozzle, but I don't have a bigger nozzle and I want to print figures and stuff like that so a lower resolution won't work for me. Do you have any other ideas?

Specially for the bulk handling industry designed shut-off valve since more than a quarter of a century produced the family-owned company founded in 1984 in the Hessian Trebur AKO fittings & separation GmbH high-quality fitting solutions, which are characterized mainly by their diversity. Although the slide and valves be developed steadily, on one thing doesn't change: the quality. Also the bulk material slide is economical, reliable and high quality. He belongs to the application-related separation solutions of the Hesse family business. The slider represents a special form of the flat slide. He seals on one side and as intermediate flange valve be easily incorporated into existing industrial plants. The bulk material handling valves can be shut off and controlled rules above all powdery or granulated media. For this reason, the pusher system especially in the chemical and food industry is popular.
He also occurs in the feed area, he got an alternative name: silo outlet valve. The Nominal diameters range from DN50 to DN600. Also here is it on the site, for which the user chooses. It is important that the media can smoothly pass the slide. The special construction avoids production traffic jams. This is favored by the massive Mono block housing.
When higher sizes the valve housing with additional stiffening ribs. So the bulk material handling valves can withstand high loads. The closing behavior is supported thanks to sophisticated lead wedges. Another feature is that flush connections exist. So, the slide can be cleaned with compressed air, water, or steam. This is essential especially in the food industry. The slide plate in stainless steel seals safely and free of corrosion. The cutting edge is even able to cut through solid materials. The bulk material handling valves can be operated either manually using a hand lever or Handwheel, or one opts for the automated drive variants, the pneumatic or be controlled electrically. Existing slider can be changed thanks to a suitable conversion set on a different kind of drive.

Ontario Human Rights Commission - Post-Secondary Education
Disabled Student Leaders From Maccess (McMaster University) and York University Federation of Students Access Centre interviewed on AMI The Pulse on Devastating Impact of Ontario Government Cuts
Leaders of two university disabled students' associations from McMaster University in Hamilton and York University in Toronto were interviewed on the AMI Audio program The Pulse on Monday, March 4th about recent cuts and changes to post-secondary funding and services in Ontario. Hilary Zorgdrager is the Coordinator of Maccess at McMaster University and Kat Kahnert-Wolchak is the Co-coordinator of the York Federation of Students Access Centre. They explained the significant, negative impact of the Ontario government's new policies regarding available grants and loans through the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) and the government's "opt-in" approach to ancillary fees, the so-called "Student Choice" initiative, that supports Students' Unions/Associations.
Kat and Hilary stressed that these cuts/changes will have devastating consequences for thousands of Ontario college and university students with disabilities. Importantly, we learned from Hilary and Kat of the array of outstanding peer support services and innovative programming these centres, run by students with disabilities for students with disabilities, offer. These centres and other peer-support centres, services, newspapers, radio stations and student run businesses -- supported by Students' Unions -- provide essential services and/or advocacy on post-secondary campuses plus fantastic employment and volunteer opportunities for disabled students, not available through post-secondary administrations. This excellent, informative interview was conducted by Joeita Gupta for AMI. The episode is now available as a Podcast so you can listen online anytime:

Q: how to get data from current selected grid I have following grid in my .aspx page.

What i need to do:
When user clicks it should get Company Name Product Name No. of records from particular row and run the following procedure and download the excel file.
Following is my code:
Stored Procedure:
CREATE proc [dbo].[proc_getHistoryProduct]
(
@CompName nvarchar(max) = '',
@ProdName nvarchar(max) = '',
@noOfRecords int
)
as
begin
if @ProdName = '' and @CompName = 'NULL'
begin
select TOP (@noOfRecords) * from ProductDetail where (Product_Description like '%' +    @ProdName + '%' )
end
else if @CompName = '' and @ProdName = 'NULL'
begin
select  TOP (@noOfRecords) * from ProductDetail where (Shipper_Name like '%' + @CompName + '%' )
end
end

Code to download in excel:
       protected void GridView_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
        GridViewRow row = GridData.SelectedRow;
        int noOfRecords = Convert.ToInt32(row.Cells[3].Text);
        string CompName = row.Cells[2].Text;
        string ProdName = row.Cells[1].Text;
        DataTable dt = (DataTable)Session["UserHistoryProduct"];
        con.Open();
        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("proc_getHistoryProduct", con);

        cmd.Parameters.Add("@CompName", SqlDbType.VarChar, 1000).Value = CompName;
        cmd.Parameters.Add("@ProdName", SqlDbType.VarChar, 1000).Value = ProdName;
        cmd.Parameters.Add("@noOfRecords", SqlDbType.Int).Value = noOfRecords;
        cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
        SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();

        dt.Load(dr);
        dr.Close();
        con.Close();
        Session["UserHistoryProduct"] = dt;

        DataTable Searchtable = (DataTable)Session["UserHistoryProduct"];

        ExportToExcel(dt);
    }

Can anybody tell me where am i going wrong?
EDIT:
   public void ExportToExcel(DataTable dt)
      {
        if (dt.Rows.Count > 0)
        {
            string filename = "HistoryProductDetail.xls";
            System.IO.StringWriter tw = new System.IO.StringWriter();
            System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter hw = new System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter(tw);
            GridView dgGrid = new GridView();
            dgGrid.DataSource = dt;
            dgGrid.DataBind();

            //Get the HTML for the control.
            dgGrid.RenderControl(hw);
            //Write the HTML back to the browser.
            //Response.ContentType = application/vnd.ms-excel;
            Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
            Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename + "");
            this.EnableViewState = false;
            Response.Write(tw.ToString());
            Response.End();
        }
    }

A: Try with SqlDataAdapter
    SqlDataAdapter adp = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
    adp.Fill(dt);

Instead of SqlDataReader
    SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
    dt.Load(dr);
    dr.Close();

I am not sure but it may help

A: Solved my problem at last!
What I needed to do is to call OnClick="DownloadExcel_Click" even on <asp:LinkButton> i.e Download
public void DownloadExcel_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var downloadLink = (Control)sender;
        GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)downloadLink.NamingContainer;
        Label lblProduct = (Label)row.FindControl("lblprodname");
        string prodName = lblProduct.Text;
        Label lblCompany = (Label)row.FindControl("lblcompname");
        string compName = lblCompany.Text;
        Label lblRecords  = (Label)row.FindControl("lblrecords");
        int noOfRecords = Convert.ToInt32(lblRecords.Text);

        DataTable dt = (DataTable)Session["UserHistoryProduct"];
        con.Open();
        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("proc_getProductHistory", con);

            cmd.Parameters.Add("@ProdName", SqlDbType.VarChar, 1000).Value = prodName;
            cmd.Parameters.Add("@CompName", SqlDbType.VarChar, 1000).Value = compName;
            cmd.Parameters.Add("@noOfRecords", SqlDbType.Int).Value = noOfRecords;
        cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
        using (SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd))
        {
            dt = new DataTable();
            da.Fill(dt);
        }

        //dt.Load(dr);
        //dr.Close();
        con.Close();
        Session["UserHistoryProduct"] = dt;

        //DataTable Searchtable = (DataTable)Session["UserHistoryProduct"];

        ExportToExcel(dt);

    }


International education (IE) is a very cool field—you get to connect with people from around the world to help them achieve their goals. That opportunity also presents serious challenges to start-ups.
Can you really afford to service a global marketplace? Apple, Google, and other Fortune 500 companies have multibillion dollar coffers, but the challenges aren't insurmountable. Here's how our WeblishPal team has overcome the five hurdles in a cost-effective way.
Maximize your meeting miles. Visiting different countries, schools, or partners can get very expensive. When you are setting up a new partnership it is great to meet face to face, but try to limit actual travel. Set up as many meetings as you can during conferences like NAFSA—that's where WeblishPal met our local China International Education Exchange Center (IEEC). Encourage online video calls (Skype.com or Vsee.com are both great free tools) and use easy-to-use file-sharing sites to communicate and work more effectively at a distance. For file sharing, we couldn't live without box.com and join.me, which has been great for hosting remote online meetings with screen share.
A 5 p.m. meeting in Beijing is a 5 a.m. meeting in Toronto. Geez, that's earlier than I'd like to wake up! When dealing with global teams, establish meeting windows so both sides don't have unreasonable meeting schedules. You want to be alert and energized for important discussions. Then when you send meeting confirmations, do it in both your time zone and theirs. This simple trick has saved me dozens of missed meetings when I'm on the road.
Ok, so I'm not a true polyglot, but I do try to see what's going on in the news in different countries. For most of us English is our business language, but a simple web page translated with translate.google.com can help you grasp the important conversations happening globally. I made one such mistake a mere 15 minutes after the devastating Boston marathon bombings—had I checked the news before calling, I would have been prepared for a very different conversation that I expected. Likewise, knowing positive news affecting your contacts can help you build more meaningful relationships too.
Fun apps like Yelp have made it easy to get around and dine like a local if you're in a new city. The same goes for running IE businesses. Establish local connections in the various places you connect with so you don't miss out on great opportunities you never knew existed.
You would be surprised to know that the Internet is actually quite different from country to country. From censorship to bandwidth to use of popular sites, you will need to know what your contacts are using. One major mistake we see frequently in higher education recruiting is relying solely on Youtube to share important recruiting videos. That means that you're automatically cutting off your Chinese prospects because YouTube is blocked; however, plenty of alternatives are available that can help you showcase content globally. Know your target market's online experience.

In git, branch is just a pointer to the one of the commits. So you can create and remove branches very easily. Most of the time, you can select commit of your choice and create a new branch from their and delete the one you do not need. However, sometime you create one branch out of master, intending to merge it to master but later everyone starts using the same and it becomes kind of master. We ran into this situation with one of the source code repository. So to get back on track, we needed to swap the contents of the both branches.
Another use of this strategy is to skip a commit made on a maintenance branch that isn't intended to go back into your main branch of development. So we can do selective merge from another branches if needed.


The S3 Sequencer is a device that, given a discrete input, provides sequential time-delayed outputs to various devices, and when the input is removed, likewise shuts off those outputs in time-delayed reverse order.
Weak-signal communications, particularly at VHF and above, sometimes require performance that cannot be delivered by a transceiver alone. Often, a low noise preamplifier (LNA), a power amplifier (PA) and sometimes a transverter are needed to afford the extra edge necessary for terrestrial, Earth-Moon-Earth (EME) and satellite communications. It is vital to provide extra transmit-receive (T/R) isolation and switching with enough time delay to ensure that an ill-timed burst of power doesn't destroy sensitive equipment. A sequencer is the "brains" of a weak-signal station.
When using an M2 Antenna Systems, Inc. preamplifier with the built in test feature, the Test button activates the onboard noise test as an aid to testing and troubleshooting your antenna system.

Q: In how many ways can 3 distinct teams of 11 players be formed with 33 men? Problem:
In how many ways can 3 distinct  teams of 11 players be formed with 33 men?
Note: there are 33 distinct men.
The problem is similar to this one:
How many distinct football teams of 11 players can be formed with 33 men?
Fist, I thought the answer was:
$$
\binom{33}{11} \times \binom{22}{11} \times \binom{11}{11}
$$
But there are clearly a lot of solutions overlapping.

A: Suppose that we wanted to divide the $33$ men into three teams called Team A, Team B, and Team C, respectively. There are $\binom{33}{11}$ ways to pick Team A. Once Team A has been picked, there are $\binom{22}{11}$ ways to pick Team B, and of course the remaining $11$ men form Team C. There are therefore $$\binom{33}{11}\binom{22}{11}\tag{1}$$ ways to pick the named teams. This is the calculation that you thought of originally.
But in fact we don't intend to name the teams; we just want the men divided into three groups of $11$. Each such division can be assigned team names (Team A, Team B, Team C) in $3!=6$ ways, so the calculation in $(1)$ counts each division of the men into three groups of $11$ six times, once for each of the six possible ways of assigning the three team names. The number of ways of choosing the unnamed teams is therefore
$$\frac16\binom{33}{11}\binom{22}{11}\;.\tag{2}$$
Added: Here's a completely different way to calculate it.
First we'll pick the team containing the youngest of the $33$ men; there are $\binom{32}{10}$ ways to do that, since we need only choose his $10$ teammates. Then we choose the team containing the youngest of the remaining $22$ men; this can be done in $\binom{21}{10}$ ways. That leaves $11$ men to form the third team. This approach does not overcount: there's always one team that contains the youngest man and one that contains the youngest man not on that first team. Thus, there are
$$\binom{32}{10}\binom{21}{10}\tag{2}$$
ways to choose the three teams.
Of course it would be a good idea to make sure that $(1)$ and $(2)$ actually yield the same result:
$$\begin{align*}
\frac16\binom{33}{11}\binom{22}{11}&=\frac16\cdot\frac{33!}{11!22!}\cdot\frac{22!}{11!11!}\\\\
&=\frac13\cdot\frac{33\cdot32!}{11!22!}\cdot\frac12\cdot\frac{22\cdot 21!}{11!11!}\\\\
&=\frac{11\cdot32!}{11!22!}\cdot\frac{11\cdot21!}{11!11!}\\\\
&=\frac{32!}{10!22!}\cdot\frac{21!}{10!11!}\\\\
&=\binom{32}{10}\binom{21}{10}\;.
\end{align*}$$

A: And yet another approach...
Line the 33 men up, and assign the first 11 to Team A, the second 11 to Team B and the remaining 11 to Team C.
The line can be formed in $33!$ ways. But this counts as distinct the $11!$ rearrangements of the 11 men within each of the three teams.
Thus, we have $ 33! / (11!)^3 $ ways to set up the three teams.
This calculation counts as distinct having a particular group of 11 on Team A, or on Team B or on Team C.  If this is not the case (I'm not convinced!) then divide by $3!$

Latrines may trump toilets for sanitation
HOUGHTON, Mich., June 19 (UPI) -- U.S. scientists say they've found latrines might be better than indoor plumbing to promote sanitary conditions in some developing nations.
Michigan Technological University researchers analyzed worldwide barriers to sanitation that might stop such diseases as dysentery. Surprisingly, they said they found a scarcity of clean drinking water is not as big an issue as they expected.
Associate Professor David Watkins, Professor James Mihelcic and Ph.D. student Lauren Fry found installing appliances such as toilets can actually promote unsanitary conditions when the effluent is discharged, untreated, into once-clean rivers and streams.
But they discovered a properly built latrine keeps sewage safely separated from drinking water.
The researchers said their findings show small changes can be more important in preserving health than big engineering projects. "Even a simple thing like not dipping your hand into the water pot can make a big difference," said Watkins.
However, getting people to change their habits can be more difficult than building infrastructure.
"They may not understand the science, and because it is about parasites and bacteria that they can't see, they may not recognize the risks," Watkins said.
Their findings appeared in the journal Environmental Science and Technology and is available at http://pubs.acs.org/cgi-bin/abstract.cgi/esthag/2008/42/i12/abs/es7025856.html

With New Year comes the classic resolutions to get to the gym and eat healthy. One the best ways to eat a healthy diet is to eat seasonally but with supermarkets offering many fruits and veg all year round it can be hard to do.
This simple chart from Eat Seasonably sets out a simple calendar of what fruits and vegetables can be eaten at certain times of the year.
Printed out it makes a great wall chart and there's the option to not only download a poster version but to play with an interactive version online that allows users to select ingredients and see specifically when they're in season.
The chart is well worth a play and it's a great way to learn more about when to eat what foods.


BRISBANE, Australia, Oct. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cryptsoft's position as the 'go to' supplier of KMIP (Key Management Interoperability Protocol) technologies to the data management market has been strengthened by the signing of Reduxio Systems, an innovative supplier of enterprise flash storage solutions that focuses on innovative data management capabilities and 'to the second' data recoverability.
Increasing security threats have made data encryption a must-have for any vendor with a storage or data management related product. For these vendors, ensuring their product integrates cleanly into an enterprise-wide solution providing full data lifecycle encryption is commercially critical. A significant challenge in the data management and security arena has always been the complexity and difficulty in managing encryption keys across the enterprise. Cryptsoft KMIP SDKs provide simple and effective, standards-based key management, enabling seamless interoperability and enterprise level management across a wide range of products.
Cryptsoft's comprehensive SDK suites are chosen by enterprising and decisive companies because of their ability to reduce development and go-to-market costs for delivery of proven interoperability. Adoption of Cryptsoft's KMIP technology delivers the benefits of the latest and most conformant KMIP version for their implementations. Through the integration of Cryptsoft's KMIP SDK within their solution, Reduxio have ensured customers deploying the Time OS® storage operating system can interoperate with an ever-increasing KMIP ecosystem, including a range of enterprise key management server solutions from multiple vendors in both physical and virtual forms.
"The ability to securely store and distribute encryption keys is critical for customers deploying encryption to protect their critical data assets from the broad range of threats that they face today," said Jacob Cherian, VP Product Management and Product Strategy. "Customers choose our solutions to simplify their data management infrastructure, and KMIP technology from Cryptsoft integrated into our storage platforms will allow our customers to take advantage of the growing ecosystem of KMIP-compliant solutions for key management, securing keys and simplifying the administration of encryption."
"Working with Reduxio enables us to deploy even more KMIP technology into the booming data management market where management of the data encryption keys including their security and lifecycle, is just as vital as management of the data itself," said Tony Cox, Cryptsoft VP Partners, Alliances and Standards. "Cryptsoft is pleased to be enabling another valued customer in this space with the tools to rapidly deploy this critical data security capability. The integration of our key management technology enables those enterprises who have already deployed KMIP to leverage the innovative Reduxio data management and data recovery solutions."


In the not-distant future, a disastrous radioactive event has obliterated most of civilization. Yet somewhere deep in the American South is a valley that remains untouched; evidence of a micro-climate or some other miracle. A young farm girl, Ann Burden (Margot Robbie), is grittily surviving on her own in this valley, fearing she may actually be the proverbial last woman on earth. Then, she discovers the most astonishing sight of her life: another human being.
John Loomis (Chiwetel Ejiofor) arrives in the valley a cipher; a distraught scientist nearly driven mad by radiation exposure and his desperate search for others. He and Ann share little in common beyond survival. Even so, as Ann nurses Loomis back to health, they build a fragile, imperative strand of trust across the gulf between them - finding solace amidst the eerie reality of their new lives. With all the time in the world, they even dare to imagine forging a future - for themselves, for humanity. But when a stranger (Chris Pine) enters the valley, their precarious bond begins to unravel. Now, all three must grapple with an unstable situation - one of secrets, suspicions and mortal threats.
Director Craig Zobel (Compliance) takes this arresting concept and puts a microscope on the trio at its center - raising provocative questions about human relationships, human aspiration and all the things inside us, both beautiful and terrifying, that endure when everything else ends. With a three-person cast and shot in remote New Zealand, the film re-envisions the bleak, dense, technological end-of-the world epic as a lush, lyrical, emotional portrait of three people stripped down to their most fundamental wonders and darkest flaws.

Watch: The first trailer for 'Knives Out' is a wild take on whodunits starring Daniel Craig and Chris Evans
By Ahana Nagar
The search for whodunnit begins in the first trailer of director Rian Johnson's upcoming drama Knives Out. But, this is far from a standard Poirot mystery. The trailer is absolutely ridiculous in the best way possible. It opens with a couple of detectives, played by current James Bond Daniel Craig and Lakeith Stanfield, visiting a manor where a death has occurred.
A family has gathered for their patriarch's 85th birthday when things go awry. In typical whodunit fashion, the family is full of strange characters, big secrets, and tense relationships that make for a zany tableau. The film is described as a tribute to acclaimed mystery writer Agatha Christie, meaning the solution to the mystery is probably complicated, and anything is possible.
Everyone has a motive. No one has a clue. #RianJohnson's #KnivesOut releases November 27th.

Knives Out's real selling point is the cast, which includes Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, Don Johnson, Michael Shannon, Katherine Langford, Noah Segan, Edi Patterson, Riki Lindhome, Jaeden Martell, and Christopher Plummer. It's impressive, and their dynamic is rich and chaotic right from the get-go. Plus, who doesn't want to see Chris say "Eat shit!" for 10 seconds straight after so many years of watching the actor play straitlaced Captain America?
The official synopsis for the film reads, "When renowned crime novelist Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) is found dead at his estate just after his 85th birthday, the inquisitive and debonair Detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) is mysteriously enlisted to investigate. From Harlan's dysfunctional family to his devoted staff, Blanc sifts through a web of red herrings and self-serving lies to uncover the truth behind Harlan's untimely death."
Knives Out will be released on November 27th. Watch the first trailer here:

Rosberg, by contrast, was a little more tentative in his approach to the first section of qualifying, trailing his rival by around one second. "I had two mistakes in there, " the German advised his engineer, per BBC Sport, as he was only the fifth fastest man on track.
In Q2, Rosberg was a lot more assertive in his driving and was quicker than Hamilton through the first two sectors. He eventually came up a tenth shy of his team-mate, although there were signs of a potentially fascinating shootout for pole position in the final stages.
After that pair of searing laps, attention turned to the drivers trying to make into the top 10 scuffle. Jenson Button, in what will be his last-ever F1 appearance, failed to make it through in the McLaren, although Williams' Felipe Massa progressed in what's set to be his final grand prix.
The tension was palpable as the drivers geared up for the final part of qualifying given what was at stake.
On the opening runs, Hamilton was first to post a time and set a stunning benchmark with a 1:39.013; although Rosberg was again quicker in the first sector, he came up three-tenths short of his team-mate. Meanwhile, both Ferrari and Red Bull drivers were separated by just four-tenths between third and sixth.
It meant Rosberg had a significant gap to make up if he wanted to start the finale on pole. And while the German did get a little closer with his second lap, Hamilton improved again to take his fourth pole in succession.
In the scrap for third, Ricciardo produced a sensational effort with his last lap to oust Raikkonen; Verstappen will start in sixth behind Vettel after he ran wide at Turn 11 on his last effort.
In the early exchanges, both Hamilton and Rosberg opted for the supersoft tyre compound, which is a little slower than the ultrasoft. Subsequently, the gap between the Mercedes men and the rest of the field wasn't so wide.
Meanwhile, there was a brief scare for Hamilton during FP3 as he complained of a loss of power in his Mercedes. However, he was advised by his engineer "it looks like it was just an unexpected D-rate, " per BBC Sport.
Rosberg was out first on the fastest tyre and did go to the top of the timesheet. But Hamilton, as he has done throughout the course of the practice sessions, was able to find an edge; a poor middle section from the German opened the door for his team-mate.
Vettel wasn't done quite yet, though. The Ferrari man emerged on a fresh set of ultrasoft tyres for a qualification simulation lap and was the first man to dip below the 1:41 mark, moving to the top of standings in the process.


Gambling through online networking is no longer a new and wondrous thing. Along with the development of the technological age, gambling also grew rapidly and rapidly adapted well. In addition to making it easier for players to access, online gaming usually offers many promos and conveniences for their players. Not infrequently the prospective players start their steps in the gambling world through online gaming. If you want to try gaming on online websites, you come to the right page. We will try to review a little about tips and tricks on how to gamble online, happy reading.
If you are a beginner who wants to try gambling on one website, it is excellent for you to know the reputation of the site. Many gambling websites are less honest in their implementation. Whether from handling bad players or in terms of payment of players. It's no secret if you find a gambling website that cheats players and plot to make players unable to win. If you think that online sports gambling cannot be trashed, you are right because the results of the matches are displayed live on certain websites.
Later many of these websites let their games run fairly. It's just that most of them hate fund withdrawals, giving convoluted reasons. Players who are upset will use these funds to playback like the expectations of the website manager. It is imperative if you search first by looking for articles, reviews and website development that they do.
Instead of online gambling websites, many attractive offers and bonuses can be obtained. By depositing in a certain nominal amount, you will get bonus money in your account credit. If you think that you can withdraw all the funds after getting a bonus, you are wrong here. Leading websites always have strict rules in them, such as minimum play or target withdrawal.
At least playing like a casino game, you are required to represent how many new rounds can you withdraw. Target Withdraw is a position where your account credit must reach a certain nominal so that you can pull out the bonus. The more advanced the website, the more binding rules about how to withdraw and the requirements. It's okay if you ask in advance about the conditions that apply in the site. A good site always prioritizes the interests of the players in it.
As you know, if you play a blackjack game you will most likely use the counting card technique. As you might expect, this is a virtual world where cards are used not from one deck. They continue to reset the deck used in it, so if you use counting techniques, you will only lose a lot of money in it.
In conclusion, if you want to try gambling through websites, look for the type of game first. If you have found it, you can start looking for reviews and reputation of the website to avoid harm to you even if you only intend to try to play it.

Our passionflower is in bloom. Actually we've waited a very long time to find a red passionflower, and they are very hard to find here. There was only one seedling available after years of searching nurseries and this one finally bloomed for us! We love these flowers and have about 4 or more of these seedlings planted all over the garden.
The passionflower is edible and can be used as medicine. Its habitat: Eastern N. American native perennial vine. Virginia and Kentucky, south to Florida and Texas. The common name Passionflower refers to the passion of Christ: the 3 stamens represent his wounds, and the 12 petals represent the apostles. Its Japanese name is トケイソウ tokeisou which means clock flower…I guess the face of flower looks like a clock and stamens like the clock's needles. Its scientific name: Passiflora incarnata. Passion fruit is sweet and aromatic, in fact, the fruit is used in Hawaiian Punch for flavor. There are over 400 species of this plant. More info in the article by Linda Inoki below.– Thursday July 5, 2007
Tokei-so (Passion flower) By LINDA INOKI
Oh, cut me reeds to blow upon, Or gather me a star, But leave the sultry passion-flowers Growing where they are
I fear their sombre yellow deeps, Their whirling fringe of black, And he who gives a passion-flower Always asks it back.
By Grace Hazard Conkling (1878-1958)
In the 1500s, Spanish conquistadors discovered some extraordinary New World flowers, which struck them as vivid symbols of their religion. The outer circle of petals and sepals they saw representing 10 of Christ's early disciples. The feathery inner circle to them symbolized the multitude of Christians; while the five anthers and three styles symbolized the five wounds and three nails that Christ suffered on the cross. Moreover, when Jesuit priests noticed native Indians eating the small yellow or purple egg-shaped fruit, they read it as a sign that they were thirsting for the Christian religion. So the Spanish named this plant passiflora, meaning "passion flower," after the passionate sacrifice of Christ. Since then, about 500 species of the genus Passiflora have been found, mostly climbers from the warmer zones of the Americas with red, yellow, green, white or purple flowers. Some tropical species are cultivated for their tasty fruit (P. edulis and P. quadrangularis). But for flowers it is hard to beat P. incarnata, pictured above. This is romping away in my garden, and it is delightful to find fresh blooms opening on a summer's morning, then fading at the end of the day. Incidentally, the Japanese name means "clock-flower," for its resemblance to the face of a clock.


KIND has been working in collaboration with the YMCA to establish a teen leader's class. This class is being held every Friday at the downtown YMCA with the goal of educating our teen students on what it means to be a leader based on the tenants of respect, knowledge, and kindness. The class is contingent on the continuous attendance of our 6-8th Kind students every week throughout the month of September. The goal is to have created enough interest from the students and the YMCA to provide each student form a YMCA membership . Over the summer we have seen a growth in interest in teens to be part of KIND. This partnership is the first step in creating a teen program.

Kia Sorento SUV Conquers Real And Perceived Mountains In New Marketing Campaign
Campaign Highlights the Capability, Refinement and Engineering Prowess of the Refreshed Sorento SUV - Broadcast and digital campaign features general market and multicultural creative - Sorento is the "Highest Ranked Midsize SUV in Initial Quality"[1] according to J.D. Power's Initial Quality Study for the second consecutive year
Kia Motors America
IRVINE, California, July 18, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — After the refreshed 2019 Kia Sorento SUV went "to hell and back" late last year by conquering Moab's treacherous Hell's Revenge2, a new marketing campaign from Kia Motors America vividly details the versatility, advanced technology and comfort of the brand's best-selling and most capable SUV. Featuring a series of 15- and 30-second broadcast spots and digital elements in both English and Spanish, the campaign takes viewers on a journey illustrating the available all-wheel drive system3, standard three-row, seven-passenger seating, and the decidedly more upscale cabin with newly-added technology.
"This campaign mirrors Kia's mindset as a challenger brand, as Kia and the Sorento have overcome road blocks, both real and perceived. From off-roading up a mountain to commuting back and forth to work, or a weekend full of running errands, these are the hurdles that drivers conquer every day," said Saad Chehab, vice president, marketing communications, Kia Motors America. "As a brand, Kia has conquered our own mountains, especially over the past four years by ranking as the "Highest Mass Market Brand in Initial Quality" in J.D. Power's Initial Quality Study4. And the Sorento, assembled in West Point, Georgia, has played a major role in our success by being named the top Midsize SUV in initial quality the last two years."
The three spots – "Conquer Your Mountain," "Ready to be Conquered" and "Moab Conquest" – follow the creative direction of a video first shown at last year's Los Angeles Auto Show which highlighted the refreshed 2019 Sorento's rugged ascent of Hell's Revenge in Moab, Utah, one of the most challenging and obstacle-laden off-road trails in the world. While Sorento owners may never take their own SUVs to these extreme limits, it's nice to know that a weekend adventure off the beaten path is possible.
In addition to the upgrades made to the exterior and interior, the 2019 Sorento boasts an available advanced AWD system designed to automatically route power to the wheel with the most traction. Sorento's AWD capabilities also provide drivers with the added stability of Torque Vector Cornering Control (TVCC)3, which is automatically activated when yaw and steering sensors detect unwanted understeer, a feature typically seen on more expensive models.

It's been long long time since I've rode my bike at unearthy hours of early morning. Wide open empty roads. No traffic. Occasional fast moving vehicle - a truck usually .. winters are slowly reciding but its still cold.. the 'still' morning air.. cold and a lil bit chilling.. not much but .. can ride at 40-50kmph not any faster .. wee bit warmer on the bridge across the small rivers criss-crossing Pune.. warm, humid, smelly moisture for a couple of seconds.. twice in the entire 15kms short dash to Pune Station from home (Pimpri).. old black leather jacket still keeps me warm.. carrying helmet in train is 'pain' but shouldn't have left it at home.. anyways.. the morning emptiness of roads and a peaceful short ride of just 30mins brings back many memories.. early morning rides are always soothing .. should be doing more of them.. I am missing something in my daily routine .. Perhaps its time I started getting up early each day.. pick up some physical activity..
Looking forward to a great day ahead with all my school buddies.. teachers.. and later on with mom-dad.. return booking is done for tomorrow morning .. but will be meeting a different pune tomorrow noon.. full of traffic and crowd and pollution .. living life in this beautiful moment :) tomorrow can wait for another day!!
Thanks for the quiet thoughts.

Ford not interested in joining F1
Date: 5th February 2017 at 10:29am
Many people within Formula One and around the sport believe that one of F1's weaknesses is its lack of engine suppliers and manufacturers.
The current landscape in Formula One is dominated by three engine manufacturers.
They are the German car giant Mercedes, the luxury Italian super car power that is Ferrari and French manufacturer Renault.
The sports shift from aspirated V8 engines to the current Turbo-Hybrid V6 power-unit's also enticed Japanese manufacturer Honda back to the sport as a partner with McLaren.
But apart from McLaren, all the other teams are supplied engines via either Mercedes, Ferrari or Renault.
Whilst the move to Turbo-Hybrid V6 power-unit's, dragged the sport into modern times and made the technology actually relevant to manufacturing, the rules and regulations were drawn up by committee and as such are unnecessarily complicated and expensive.
The current engine regulations are also set in place until 2020, again due in part to the mass investment the engine suppliers have made in making power-units within the current rules and guidelines.
This has thus far, put off other manufacturers entering the sport.
It is thought that discussions with potential new manufacturers, keen to enter the sport, could be involved in drawing up new regulations for 2021 and beyond, but American giant Ford appear to not be one of them.
'We're not really looking at F1. I don't see us getting into that any time soon. Director of Ford Performance Dave Pericak told motorsport.com.
Ford have not been involved in Formula One since 2004, but are currently competing in GT supercars, WRC and World Rallycross.
'Formula 1 is so expensive. If you look at every series we are in right now there is a relevance to all the goals and objectives we have, in developing our tools, technology and people and translating that into road cars. Every series that we're in has an element of that.'
'We use the track to test and improve our technologies, and bring it back into the road cars, That's working well, not just on the GT but other products as well.


Former Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship has been sentenced to the maximum one year in prison and another year of supervised release for his role in a conspiracy at the company to skirt mine safety standards. Judge Irene Berger also imposed a maximum $250,000 fine, which is due immediately.
Blankenship was convicted in December of conspiring to willfully violate federal mine safety laws--a misdemeanor. The charge stemmed from an investigation into the April 5, 2010 explosion at the Upper Big Branch Mine near Montcoal that killed 29 men.
The ex-executive was cleared of two felony counts of lying to investors and the federal Securities and Exchange Commission about Massey's safety record in the wake of the explosion. Those counts combined would have carried prison terms of up to 30 years.
While speaking to the court, Blankenship maintained his innocence on the conspiracy charge. He then attempted to apologize to family members of those who lost their lives at Upper Big Branch, but was stopped short by Judge Berger.
"You should be someone that we are able to tout as a West Virginia success story. Instead of being able to tout you, we are here," said Judge Berger to Blankenship while delivering the sentence.
Outside of the courtroom following sentencing, Blankenship spoke only briefly about the reactions of those who lost their loved ones.
"I feel badly for them. It's a lot of emotion and that's understandable," Blankenship said to reporters.
Bill Taylor, lead attorney for Blankenship, expressed a sense of relief while speaking to media outside of the courthouse following the sentencing.
"We're obviously glad that that this process has come to an end. It's been a long time coming and we're glad to come to the end of it," said Taylor, as family members of Upper Big Branch vicitms shouted at Blankenship and his attorneys.
During a short recess Wednesday morning, Betty Harrah, who lost her 40 year-old brother Steve in the blast, expressed her frustrations over Judge Berger not allowing victims' families to speak at the hearing.
"Her not allowing her us to actually, finally, to say something to that man is not right. If he has the right to speak, we should have the right to speak," said Harrah.
Harrah also referenced a pre-trial ruling in June by Judge Berger that allowed Blankenship to leave the state to see his son compete in a dirt bike race.
"We got a lifetime sentencing and we didn't do anything wrong. My nephew has to go see his daddy at the grave. [Blankenship] gets to go see his son go racing," she said.
Sherry Depoy's brother "Boone" Payne was another victim at Upper Big Branch.
"I'm feeling a little a bit better than I did after the verdict, you know? Hearing the judge say the things that she said--that he was guilty of different things. [As for] Blankenship, I almost walked out because I didn't want to hear him talk. I don't want to hear anything he has to say," said Depoy.
"I hope they don't grant him the appeal. The only thing would've been better [would have been] to see him come out in handcuffs," she added.
Gary Quarles, who lost his son Gary Wayne Quarles was satisfied with the sentence handed down by Berger.
"We are very happy. I think all the families are very happy that she gave him what she was allowed to give him," said Quarles.
Gary Quarles speaks to the media following the sentencing of former Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship on Wednesday, April 6, 2016. Quarles lost his son Gary Wayne in the Upper Big Branch mine explosion.
Quarles and other family members of the vicitms of the Upper Big Branch explosion say they want Congress to increase the penalties assessed to those at the top of the corporate ladder for workplace safety violations.
"That law should be a felony and it was only a misdemeanor. It should be changed and, [Senators] Joe Manchin and [Shelley Moore] Capito, they ought to see to it that it's changed," said Quarles.
Manchin has introduced a mine safety bill that includes increased penalties for those at the top of the corporate ladder, but in the almost full year since it was introduced, it hasn't budged in Congress.
Blankenship's attorneys said after the verdict in December they planned to file an appeal. One has not yet been filed.
A judge has ruled that an ex-energy company CEO does not have to pay $28 million in restitution related to a mine explosion in 2010 that killed 29 men.
In her order issued Monday, Judge Irene Berger said ex-Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship doesn't have to pay Alpha Natural Resources for legal fees paid for former Massey employees, cooperation with investigators and fines.
Prosecutors want a year in prison and a $250,000 fine for convicted ex-Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship, who ran a West Virginia coal mine that was the site of a deadly explosion.
In a sentencing memorandum in federal court Monday, prosecutors said a shorter sentence could only be interpreted as declaring that mine safety laws aren't to be taken seriously.
Listen as Sherry Keeney Depoy and Shirley Whitt reflect on the Blankenship trial and share their thoughts on his potential sentence.
On Wednesday morning, a federal judge will decide whether former Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship will serve prison time or face a monetary fine after being convicted of a misdemeanor.
Blankenship was found guilty of conspiring to willfully violate federal mine safety laws in December, but one miner's family says even the prison time will not bring complete closure.
Ninety-four people are seeking restitution from former Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship as he prepares for sentencing on Wednesday.
The Charleston Gazette-Mail reports Blankenship's defense team filed a motion late Friday asking the federal court judge to deny the claims. The motion says the claims seek money that the restitution statute does not authorize.
