Die Mariä-Geburt-Kirche () ist die römisch-katholische Pfarrkirche von Naxxar, Malta.

Die Kirche wurde zwischen 1614 und 1630 in Form eines Lateinischen Kreuzes erbaut. Im frühen 20. Jahrhundert wurden Seitenschiffe zugefügt und die Kirche bekam eine neue Fassade.

Am Anfang des 17. Jahrhunderts war dies die Gemeindekirche für den ganzen Norden der Insel; die Gemeinde erstreckte sich bis Mellieħa. Aus dem ursprünglichen Gemeindegebiet wurden die Gemeinden von Għargħur, Mosta, Mellieħa und St. Paul's Bay gebildet.

In late 1999, I stumbled upon a cheap day-time fitness class at the Methodist Church with an attached crèche. My son was six months old and I was a stay-at-home mother with a very limited budget. The classes were run by an arm of Stockport Council called Community Leisure, and every session was well attended and the crèche was a lovely way for an only child to gain some social skills with other small people.
It was not long after this time that it became apparent that the Council was not investing in advertising the Community Leisure activities, and numbers in the classes started to dwindle. Sadly in early 2006, the Council decided it was no longer prepared to provide the classes, and it announced its intention to close them for good. A group of four of us, all with children who had been through the crèche, decided to take over the running of the club. We felt it was an important facility in Cheadle Hulme, and we all appreciated the good work that the classes and the crèche had done for us and our children, and we wanted to ensure this excellent facility was available for others. We formed a constituted club, Cheadle Hulme Fitness, and with the aid of a National Lottery Grant, and some other small grants from local funds we were able to purchase the equipment and pay the staff in order to keep the club running until it was back on its feet.
We were fortunate to have Lesley, our instructor, and the ladies who work in the crèche, people who were prepared to trust us to do a professional and thorough job, they all agreed to come and work for us, and I hope we have provided a happy, safe, well-run club for them to do their respective jobs.
Slowly we have rebuilt a loyal base of members by advertising campaigns and word-of-mouth. We have kept to the principle of providing low-cost fitness for all in a friendly environment, and our crèche, which is run in partnership with Stockport Sports Trust, continues to provide a safe and fun environment for young children to spend an hour while mum (or grandma!) has an hour of friendly, healthy exercise next door. Sadly, the crèche had to close permanently in July 2017 due to circumstances beyond our control.
As befits a club, we have activities above and beyond the fitness classes we were set up to provide. Our first Christmas meal in 2006 was in a Chinese restaurant, and we have continued the tradition of exploring both traditional and somewhat unusual venues ever since. Our AGM is invariably held in the pub, and we organise quiz nights, and summer barbeques to try to provide some social and mental stimulation as well as the physical activity we get in class.
Cheadle Hulme Fitness is a fantastic club for all ages, and it is something I am enormously proud to have been involved with from the start. Come along and see for yourself how rewarding it can be!

"Showbiz (The Battle)" is the debut solo single of French singer M. Pokora, also appearing in the self-titled debut solo album M. Pokora. The single cover credits him as Matt Pokora. In 2005, Pokora was forced to change his chosen name from Matt Pokora to M. Pokora after a lawsuit from French R&B singer Matt Houston who used the mononym Matt. As a result, re-released the album as M. Pokora and later covers of "Showbiz (The Battle)" credit him as M. Pokora.

It was released on 15 November 2004 on the ULM label, part of Universal. It was written and composed by Georges Padey, Kore & Skalp, Matthieu Tota (M. Pokora) and Da Team and was produced by Kore & Skalp (Djamel Fezari and Pascal Koeu).

Porter's Five Forces
The Treat of Entry
The children's-products and services industry is one of the highly profitable sectors in the UK because the total UK children's wear market alone worth around £5.91billion in 2011 with a 6.5% growth from the previous years (keynote 2011). This shows that markets such as these are highly profitable and they can attract new firms easily; on the other hand it can decreases the profitability for all firms within the market and then creates a higher level of competition. the threat of entry is largely dependent of the barriers to entry within the market itself. Generally when volume of production increases, the average cost per unit decreases with economies of scale. One of the barriers of entry for Mothercare and its competitors is the economies of scale which they can exploit in order to provide lower prices to consumers or generate higher profits. Therefore, in order for a company to compete directly with Mothercare, it would need to have enough capital to produce goods at near the same volume than the market leaders. But Tesco PLC and other large supermarkets were able to penetrate and become strong competitors in the market because of the large capital they have. Also, In 1990 ASDA launched its 'George' (Brand republic 2006) range and was instantly able to provide quality clothing at cheap and affordable price because they had many outlet and capital which gave them advantage of large economies of scale.

"Fraction division is repeated subtraction"? I don't even get that. Even in the example that "works," how does getting nothing somehow translate into 3?
And what's the point, anyway? It's one thing to try some weird new technique when the old one is difficult to understand, but fraction division is simple. Why would anyone spend any time trying to come up with some new way of teaching it?
UPDATE: I guess I read too quickly. Division as repeated subtraction makes sense for whole numbers, but I missed how it works for fractions. My mistake. It just never occurred to me to think of it that way.
It's still a pretty dumb idea, though.


Is it a bird, is it a plane, NO… it's a BlackFly!
This machine doesn't have two wheels, in fact, it doesn't have any wheels, but EEMC is loving the BlackFly "the world's first ultralight all-electric fixed-wing vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft" – with an optional parachute!
According to Digitaltrends.com the BlackFly built in California by Opener, is a 'single-seat aircraft (or car, depending on how you slice it)'. It has zero-emissions and does not require a pilot's license, nor any "special skills" to fly it! However, CEO Marcus Leng says, 'BlackFly operators will be required to complete the FAA Private Pilot written exam, as well as company-mandated vehicle familiarisation and operator training' that's reassuring.
The BlackFly will travel a distance of up to 25 miles, reaching a top speed of 62 miles per hour and boasts a Super Charging option that will take less than 30 minutes to re-charge! This clever machine also has a geofence option, so it will fly within a predetermined area, so no need to stop and ask for directions! As a failsafe they also have an automatic return-to-home button (we're loving this) AND if all else fails a parachute option is available!
Now, if you're considering putting the BlackFly on your Christmas list, it should set you back the equivalent of a sports utility vehicle, so get saving!

Das Wangermeer ist ein rund 100 Hektar großer künstlich angelegter Freizeitsee in der Gemeinde Wangerland im nordwestlichen Niedersachsen.

Beschreibung
Das Wangermeer am nördlichen Ortsrand von Hohenkirchen entstand durch Kleiabbau im Zuge von Deicherhöhungsmaßnahmen im Elisabethgroden durch den III. Oldenburgischen Deichband. Zur Erschließung der nördlichen Seeseite wurde  eine rund 325 Meter lange Brückenpromenade für Fußgänger und Radfahrer über den See gebaut, die aufgrund ihrer Höhe die Unterquerung von kleinen Segelbooten möglich macht. Für die Zukunft plant die Gemeinde eine touristische Nutzung. Kernpunkt ist ein Wander- und Radweg rund um den See. Im Nordosten des Sees soll eine ökologisch wertvolle Flachwasserzone entstehen.

CLEVELAND, December 7 — A showdown is taking place in Washington, D.C. Some Lawmakers are pushing to grant more tax cuts for the richest 2% of Americans — at a cost of $1 trillion over 10 years — while cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid benefits under the guise of a manufactured fiscal crisis.
BLET and Teamster members nationwide participated in a Fiscal Cliff Call-In Day to Congress on Wednesday, December 5 to express opposition to benefit cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicare, and in support of ending tax cuts to the richest 2%. Members are now advised that Monday, December 10, is another national day of action.
A number of events are planned across the country on December 10 so our message resonates with Members of Congress, including several candlelight vigils against slashing Social Security. All members of the BLET and BLET Auxiliary are encouraged to participate. For information on events in your area, please visit: www.americawantstowork.org. Please check back frequently as new events are being added every day.
We must continue to urge our Representatives and Senators in Congress to protect the vital programs that the middle class and working families rely on by not making any cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid as part of any deficit reduction deal. Instead, they should end the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% and finally make the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share.

This is a crochet winter hat which I have made using a gorgeous rainbow chunky yarn. The yarn used is acrylic so it is suitable for vegans or for those who prefer not to wear real wool. This hat is available in other colours in my shop.
This hat is machine washable at 30 degrees. I have just one available in this wool.


I read a lot of books about mothers.
When we got engaged, Graham and I decided that we would have kids when we had been married five years. I cried in front of my class about a month before our fifth anniversary. We had decided (decided mind you, not had decided for us by issues of fertility or finances, and I hope this post smacks of confusion and reflection rather than any kind of ingratitude or judgment or entitlement) that we're not ready to have a family. (I sometimes joke to my high school friends that I have always said five years and am not going to stop now.) And when that student yelled out, I was too tired to talk myself down from two terrifying thoughts: that I was going to be a bad mother like I was a bad teacher, and that I would never want to have kids.
Basically my whole life I have wanted to be a mother. I haven't (until recently) been particularly interested in pursuing a career, and (I've thought) I will live just about anywhere as long as I'm meeting a lot of people and am able to nest and have people over for celebrations and suppers because my one goal in life has been to be piled up with babies, my babies, my family, my world. And here I was five years into my marriage finally ambivalent about children with twenty-seven of them staring at me and wondering along with me what I would be like as a mom and if that would ever even happen. I lost it a little, and I started thinking, and I started realizing this question of motherhood is my one obsession. Graham tells his students to write to their obsessions, and I would add we should also read to our obsessions. Motherest by Kristen Iskandrian, Commonwealth by Ann Patchett, Are You My Mother? by Alison Bechdel, and The Days of Abandonment by Elena Ferrante, the best books I read in 2017, speak to mine.
There is silence, as viscous as the stuff pooling in my plate.
'I guess I don't feel I have any, um choices. It's weird. It was like, the second I found out, the only two options became kill myself or keep the baby. And the first one, well you know. So that left the only other thing. I just want to do the least damage possible. I feel like I'm a bomb and I'm trying to figure out how to contain the blast.' I'm still sweating and my face and hands feel greasy. I take a big gulp of water. 'I'm trying to be a very responsible bomb' (149-150).
One of the topics Kristen* handles with so much care in Motherest is the guilt and competition associated with motherhood. As the title suggests, there is this recurrent question of who is the mother-est of all of the mothers in the book, and does she (or he? sometimes he?) want to be? Each mother in the novel, and there are many, is confronted with motherhood that looks so different from what she'd imagined, from what she'd hoped for— even the leader of the support group for unexpected expecting mothers makes big mothering mistakes. It's a book about living with the ghosts of missing loved ones, both those who took up physical space and those who were dreamed of. And Agnes this fertility bomb is a reminder to all of the women around her of the constant question of motherhood: how will you mother today, will you? You're a woman, answer the question.
Is this always a question for women? And if they become mothers, is it possible to remain (retain?) themselves? The Days of Abandonment also addresses the ghosts of dreamed up loved ones, in this case the loved ones are the potential selves lost in marriage and motherhood. When Olga's husband abandons her (Olga, Agnes, what great names are these?), she abandons her children, her dog, her self. The self she has worn since marrying him, since having children. This book is exquisite. I was misinformed a couple years ago when a stranger in New York told me to start with Ferrante's Neapolitan Trilogy. My Brilliant Friend was fine, but I didn't get the hype; why was the whole world (well so many of the readers in it) freaking out about this woman? I put the series down. Then a friend recommended The Days of Abandonment. Read it, she said. It's so much about womanhood, she said. It's so much about depression and creativity and identity, she said. It is, I say.
During Olga's darkest day of her abandonment (this is the most climactic and plotty-est section of the novel), she has a lot of dramatic situations to deal with (being vague here to avoid spoilers in a super character-driven novel, shrug emoji) and so doesn't notice that her young daughter has dressed herself in Olga's clothes and used (too much of) Olga's make-up. When Olga scolds her, her daughter justifies her actions saying that now they are identical: "What did it mean, we are identical, at that moment I needed to be identical only to myself." (121) Is being identical only to oneself possible when one is a mother? Obviously, it is—I've seen others do it successfully—but it seems such a danger of bringing someone out of one's self. This was the question that excited me most while reading Are You My Mother?— Alison Bechdel's graphic memoir, to be and not to be mistaken for the Dr. Seuss book. Bechdel returns again and again to Winnicott's studies of this sameness and separation between mother and child.
Bechdel, Alison. Are You My Mother? Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2012.
I'm smart enough to understand that I am not smart enough to understand all that much of Winnicott's psychoanalysis of good enough mothers and true/false selves just by reading Bechdel's memoir, but I found the sections in which she considers the oneness provided by a womb to be both obvious and enlightening: "The womb is an environment that adapts absolutely. Nothing impinges because there's no outside or inside. No separation. And if there's no separation, then properly speaking, there's no relation either. As they say, all is one." (138) The reminder of that lack of separation is comforting: Of course motherhood is a process of losing and finding one's self; a mother's self has expanded and then broken off to form a new self. It's messy and physical and metaphysical and impossible to prepare for or to understand fully. And so when it happens, it's as different from what we expect and dream of as the perceptions we have of ourselves before a crisis. This reminder is a comfort, as I preemptively understand what Olga means when she says, "While I was taking care of the children, I was expecting from Mario a moment that never arrived, the moment when I would be again as I had been before my pregnancies, young, slender, energetic, shamelessly certain I could make of myself a memorable person." (92) Reading these women has clarified for me my fears of losing even more of myself than I have in marriage, and along with a lot of reflection and work has helped me become open to motherhood as a possibility rather than as a certainty or fear. A wondrous and uncertain possibility.
When I first pitched the idea of this blogpost to Graham, he was supportive but hesitant. "Is it a book review or a personal essay?" he said. "Will you be comfortable inviting others to know about something so private?" he said. "This is mine, and I don't want you to share it," he didn't say. TBH I wanted to write this and share it for many reasons, among them: to organize for myself my fears about motherhood and some of what I've learned about it from reading this year, to open a conversation that might draw from the experiences of those much more knowledgable than I am, to admit something that's hard to talk about as so much more of my social media feed turns into pregnancy and birth announcements. (I love that. I'm obsessed with it. And I'm confused by it.) My hope is that in this blog Kristen and I will stay raw and tender and will invite discussion and reflection. It's a space I've needed and felt there might be a wider need for. It's the kind of space I hope we are able to create one day in our (real, physical, bricks-n-mortar!!) bookstore. It's a place where I want, as Claire Vaye Watkins says in "On Pandering," not to be unflinching but to flinch.
Finally, I said Commonwealth was one of my favorite books of the year, and I didn't tie it up with the others. It's beautiful and my mother and I both loved it, which never happens, but so much has been written about it that I don't feel like you need my take on it. (Plus this blogpost is way too long, and I am unable to take that intro to creative writing advice, "Kill your darlings." I want to love my darlings. I finally want to have darlings!!) Know that it too deals with questions of motherhood and missed or alternative forms of motherhood. And in it Patchett's writing is the rawest I've read of her fiction. She does what I hope to have the bravery to do: she tells intimate truths. On the Bookworm podcast, she tells Michael Silverblatt, "I think that three books ago, five books ago, I would've thought, 'that just belongs to my father, and I can't use it because it's his life,' but it was my life too because that was the way that I grew up." Three years ago, five years ago, I would've been too scared to share and make mistakes. Now, I want to take what's mine and write it. Write it urgently. Write it tenderly.
* I may call her this; she is my friend; she co-writes this blog.


Nowadays organizations use the Cloud in a variety of different service models (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS) and deployment models (Private, Public, Hybrid). In this paper we speak about the number of security issues/concerns associated with cloud computing. In most cases, the provider must ensure that their infrastructure is secure and that their clients' data and applications are protected while the customer must ensure that the provider has taken the proper security measures to protect their information. This paper also speaks about the Risks involved in cloud computing when implementing in different organisation considering three scenarios and how it affects the system and also about the risk assessment process where the level of risks are estimated on the basis of the likelihood of an incident scenario when compared against the estimated impact. Finally it concludes by discussing about some of the problems to be solved such as standardised format for the SLA (Service level agreement) and about the encryption process which is computationally expensive.
Cost Comparison Between Rcc & Post-Tensioned Prestressed Beams Spanning 26m.
Ankit Sahu, Prof. Anubhav Rai, Prof. Y.K. Bajpai.
I am going to work on the economic comparison between R.C.C. beam and Pre-stressed concrete beam. This work includes the design and estimate of R.C.C. Beam and post-tensioned Beam of 26m Span. The aim of this work is to design & estimate 26m span beam of R.C.C as well as pre-stressed concrete beam and then compare the results. The idea is to reach a definite conclusion regarding the superiority of the two techniques over one another.

At the present time in medical field, neuropsychiatry abnormality diagnosis is limited and discussed partially in research papers, books and journals. It was very difficult to diagnose neuropsychiatric abnormality, by doctors, research groups and related agencies. There are many similar syndromes availability had caused difficulties to diagnose neuropsychiatric abnormality. Therefore, it was necessary to implement the algorithm, computerized method or software tool to diagnose the neuropsychiatric abnormality. In this paper for the diagnosis Case Based Reasoning (CBR) is used. CBR system includes four phases such as retrieve, reuse, revise, and retain. The first phase of the CBR (retrieve) makes cases from the previous knowledge. This method has been developed conceptually by using similarity factor. This method is used for basis of further programming development. By using this method, diagnosis of similar cases that occurred normally in neuropsychiatric abnormality is easily diagnose and will be given the appropriate solution.
The Project involves Planning, Analysis, Design & Cost Comparison of an Institutional Building with steel-concrete composite construction. The proposal structure is a G+5 building, with 3.658m as the height of each floor. The overall plan dimension of the building is 56.3 m x 31.94m.
Vapour liquid equilibrium is condition wherein the liquid and vapour state of the components of a system are in equilibrium with each other. Conventionally, the vapour liquid equilibrium data is evaluated using the thermodynamic models, namely the equation of state (EOS), and the activity co-efficient models. The models falling under these categories are Peng-Robinson model, Margules model, vaanLaar model, Wilson's model, NRTL, UNIQUAC and UNIFAC model. VLE data is required in designing distillation columns and any doubt or inaccuracy in the prediction of the VLE data results in variation in design parameters which leads to variations in purity of the distillate, number of theoretical plates, reflux ratio and energy consumption which consequently leads to variation in cost. The VLE data predicted by the existing thermodynamic models show deviations from the experimental data. Hence, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model has been developed to predict the VLE so as to minimize the deviations from the experimental values. Several binary systems (1 simple and 6 azeotropicsystems) have been considered and VLE data has been predicted using the ANN, Margules and the van Laar models. The Root Squared Mean Deviation (RSMD) of predicted values has been calculated with respect to the experimental values. It has been observed that the data predicted by the ANN model is more accurate as compared to the Margules and van Laar models.
KEYWORDS: vapour liquid equilibrium, ANN, RSMD, binary systems, model.
In the present paper we study about CMOS compound pair (RKTG Pair) circuit with proper choice of inductor as additional circuit element. The proposed circuit work for very low input voltage signal like pulse rate of heart beat with higher gain wide band frequency response. The proposed circuit shows excellent temperature stability in the temperature range -50, 27 and 100 ̊ C. We have also study about input voltage gain, output voltage gain, Fast Fourier Transform, current gain, input admittance, input impedance, output impedance and voltage gain at various frequencies for inductor range 10H to 10nH and it is found that proposed circuit works as Bio amplifier with the help of Bio-medical sensor for suitable value of inductor.

Macro shrinkage results, due to the interaction of several complex influences in iron. The grating, risering, and the iron chemistry needs to revised, when the shrinkage is constantly present in cast products on a regular basis. It has been observed that the problem of macro shrinkage is within the control and timing of the graphitizing process, when it occurs irregularly and the iron chemistry is consistent during the episodes of shrinkage. It is necessary to maximize the formation of late graphite, without having to reduce the actual amount of graphite, in an effort to minimize the problem of macro shrinkage in cast products.

There is a network of many layers of waves, made of electric current, in our brain. That is called mind. Our mind circulates electric current to our each and every cell. There is a bone of the shape of our full body image, from head to toe, nearby our heart. This bone is surrounded by electric current, circulated by our mind. Laymen call this bone as Soul bone. We can contact Aliens through this process.Earthquake is a scientific natural happening. There is molten lava in the crust of our earth. This liquid movement is managed by electric current, one force of Nature. When there is movement in this liquid, the upper solid layer of our earth feels violent movements. We can make earthquake safe homes. In Alien world, there is no loss of life and goods during earthquakes or other natural happenings.
Most of human activities often result in numerous wastes as their by-products. Rapid and uncontrolled urban expansion, poor planning, lack of adequate financial support just to mention a few often lead to poor management of municipal solid waste (MSW) in most cities, especially in developing countries like Nigeria. Similarly, changes in consumption patterns worldwide have resulted in a sporadic increase in commercial, industrial and household wastes thereby causing serious environmental and health hazards. However, with various waste management techniques in developed economy which is being adopted by developing nations, waste dump sites still manifest physically in developing countries as the primary means of waste disposal. In Lagos Metropolis, there are challenges in handling the various legal and illegal waste dump sites and in adopting holistic approach to the management of wastes by the state agency in-charge of waste disposal. This paper examines the locations of the existing dump sites, and adopts Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing technology and Multi-Criteria Evaluation (MCE) technique to carry out suitability mapping of optimal locations for Landfills within Lagos Metropolis. For the optimal site selection, fourteen different criteria were identified and each criterion was weighted using MCE. Finally, based on transportation and minimum area criteria requirements using overlaying and buffering analysis, the suitability map was generated. The map revealed four classifications as: "unsuitable (96.0%)", "least suitable (0.4%)", "moderately suitable (1.0%)", and "most suitable (2.6%)".

All most all existing intrusion detection systems focus on low-level attacks, and only generate isolated alerts. They can't find logical relations among alerts. In addition, IDS's accuracy is low; a lot of alerts are false alerts. To reduce this problem we propose a hybrid approach which is the combination of K-Medoids clustering and Naïve-Bayes classification. The proposed approach will be clustering all data into the corresponding group before applying a classifier for classification purpose. The proposed work will explore Naïve-Bayes Classification and K-medoid methods for intrusion detection and how it will useful for IDS. The reasons for introducing Naïve Bayes Classification are the involvement of many features where there is no dividation between normal operations and anomalies. Thus Naïve Bayes Classification can be mined to find the abstract correlation among different security features. In this, we will present implementation results on existing intrusion detection system and K-medoid cluster technique with Naïve Bayes classification for intrusion detection system. An experiment is carried out to evaluate the performance of the proposed approach using our own created dataset. Result show that the proposed approach performed better in term of accuracy, detection rate with reasonable false alarm rate.

Research on Modern Coastal Water level modeling and prediction techniques has attracted growing concern in recent years. The reason for this is not far-fetched, as water continues to be the major contributor to disposal and movement of sediments, tracers and pollutants. This research work presents one of the most potent methods of coastal water level prediction using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). The ANNs model provides the prediction by learning the characteristic pattern of the historical event or in our case historical data. Back Propagation (BP) is the most popular supervised learning technique of ANNs. In back-propagation networks, the weights of the connections are adjusted to minimize the measure of the difference between the actual output vector of the network and the desired output vector. The BP technique with feed forward architecture and optimized training algorithm known as Levenberg-Marquardt was used in this work to develop a Neural Network Water Level Prediction model-(NNWLM) in a MatLab programming environment. The model was tested with data from five coastal water level gauge stations. The result revealed great performance with model prediction accuracy ranging from 0.012 to 0.045 in terms of Mean Square Error (MSE) and 0.82 to 0.97 in terms of correlation coefficient (R-value). With this high performance, the NNWLM developed in this work can be deemed as a veritable tool for a wide variety of coastal engineering and development, covering sediment management program: dredging, sand bypassing, breach-contingency plans, and protection of beaches vulnerable to storm erosion and monitoring and prediction of long-term water level variations in the coastal inlets. .

With the drastic development of number of Internet users and the number of accessible Web pages , it is becoming increasingly difficult for users to find documents that are relevant to their particular needs. To make searching much easier for users, web search engines came into existence. Web Search engines are used to find specific information on the World Wide Web. Without search engines, it would be almost impossible to locate anything on the Web unless or until a specific URL address is known. Hence it is better to know how these search engines actually work and how they present information to the user initiating a search. Web crawling is the process used by search engines to collect pages from the Web. Web crawlers are one of the most crucial components in search engines and their optimization would have a great effect on improving the searching efficiency .This paper discusses the issues and challenges involved in the design of the various types of crawlers and search engine.
It is well known that Surface Electromyography is activity generated due to a muscle activity and these signals can be easily acquired from surface of skin of the body using non-invasively technique and research with various algorithms for control of upper arm prostheses have been reported. In this investigation the Surface Electromyogram signal's study for upper arm muscles with different operation of arms were presented. Myoelectric signals from said muscles were extracted using Labview based soft scope simulated code. Acquiring Surface Electromyogram data from selected locations were interpreted for various feature extractions using various time and frequency domain parameters for computation of data in a way to analyze the effectiveness of recorded signal.

Watermarking is a technique to hide data inside an image to show authenticity or proof of ownership. In this paper (research) the proposed system is an implementation of image watermarking techniques. The proposed watermarking scheme incorporates HVS models into watermark embedding and watermarking is performed in wavelet domain (the implementation of image watermarking scheme incorporates HVS models into watermark embedding and watermarking is performed in wavelet domain was proposed). in this algorithm (our main algorithm is divided into three algorithms). (First,) are (is a find coarseness ), (second is to) chosen the high coarseness subband to hide watermarking in it by using coarseness algorithm a applied on many images, (third, is test a) similarity between original image and image watermarking. and the (This) method (was) robust against extracting watermarking on average(80-95%) (when it applied on many images ), (the extracted method is implement )by using lowpass and highpass filters in data payload(256 bits).
The main challenge in 2-D DWT structure is the amount of internal memory required to produce wavelet coefficients to suit hardware implementation. The previous structures reported need fixed memory size depending on input frame size, but in the proposed technique, memory size is parametric and trades off with the number of output memory accesses. In this method, we divide an image into non-overlapping macro-blocks (16x16 pixels) and to each macro-block 2D-DWT coefficients using lifting scheme are computed. The coefficients obtained from each macro block are Quantized and reconstructed using Inverse Discrete Wavelet Transform. As the image is divided into non-overlapping macro-blocks, it offers a convenient approach for optimum compression using entropy coding where an image has to be divided into code blocks. The proposed Block Based method compares favourably with other methods such as Line Based and Direct methods.
Cloud computing is becoming increasingly popular in distributed computing environment. Data storage and processing using cloud environments is becoming a trend worldwide. Software as a Service (SaaS)one of major models of cloud which may be offered in a public, private or hybrid network. If we look at the impact SaaS has on numerous business applications as well as in our day to day life, we can easily say that this disruptive technology is here to stay. Cloud computing can be seen as Internet-based computing, in which software, shared resources, and information are made available to devices on demand. But using a cloud computing paradigm can have positive as well as negative effects on the security of service consumer's data. Many of the important features that make cloud computing very attractive, have not just challenged the existing security system, but have also exposed new security risks. In this paper we are going to showcase some major security issues of current cloud computing environments.
This paper presents a detailed study of the high frequency performance of dual gate large area graphene MOSFET. A quasi analytical modeling approach is presented here.

I was on a Woolmark press trip a few weeks ago testing out products with outdoor workouts and even doing yoga indoors to see how the products wick. They retained their shape after washing and didn't even smell after using them one day and letting them air out (it was part of the testing the recommended we do.) That's a pretty good perk considering many high-end fitness clothing isn't cheap so if you had to wear them twice in a week, it's NBD.
Wool blends (particularly Merino wool, that softer, no-itch/sneezing type) are being incorporated into more high-end fashion lines than ever before. No longer a product you strictly associate with sweaters and socks, wool has made its mark on fashion runways. Companies incorporating wool blends include P.E. Nation for activewear, Adidas, 3.1 Phillip Lim, All Saints, APC, Lululemon , Theory, Olivers, Under Armour, Michael Kors, and many designers in between. I propose a slideshow highlighting shifts, pants, underwear, coats, activewear, sneakers, hats, gloves, etc. that feature wool.

A recent study on inmates found that completing just one-hour of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT-1) session was effective in preventing the development of chronic insomnia in 73 percent of prisoners. After one month of the treatment, the prisoners reported a reduction in anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Granted, you probably don't have the same sleep stressors and life concerns a prisoner faces that may interfere with sleep, but that doesn't mean the average adult should dismiss this therapy. A 2015 had found that a one-hour cognitive behavioral therapy session led to a 60 percent reduction in insomnia symptoms in the general population.
I just finished editing a 100-page magazine on Sleep for a client and found that many sleep experts suggested CBT to help with a number of sleep issues besides insomnia, from helping seniors deal with sleep problems, to sleep apnea, people who have chronic pain and sleep, anxiety, and more.
I'd like to write an article covering how CBT may be the answer to readers' sleep problems and how it can improve their overall mental health.
Great to hear from you and I'm glad to hear things are starting to clear up! We actually use a fair number of CBT exercises in our 4-week sleep track on Happify, and you're right, there's a great deal of research around CBT as an effective way to treat insomnia as well as occasional sleep problems. Let's explore this one further!
Would 12/18 work as a deadline?
I saw this piece "mindful money tips" on The Orange Dot and was wondering if you'd be open to a piece for the holidays on how to be a conscious and mindful spender during the holiday season without going broke.
I got a hold of this new book from Rachel Cruze (daughter of personal finance guru Dave Ramsey) "Love Your Life, Not Theirs: 7 Money Habits for Living the Life You Want" and she addresses some issues I think we all can relate to with her real-world advice (including even the most mindful Headspace meditation practicers) whether it's comparing ourselves to a friend's beautiful yoga or meditation retreat photos, another's love quotes about her "perfect relationship," over even being slightly jealous of that fancy kitchen a nutritionist we follow makes her perfectly healthy recipes in.
In Cruze's book, she discusses finding contentment in your life with what you have. And that even when we are "fake" on social media (yes, even adding filters to make our photos look better counts—guilty!), it's causing our happiness to be more fleeting. I read Cruze's book and am in contact with her reps as she is doing her book tour now.
As we go into holiday season, I'd like to get Cruze's take on the "comparison living" aspect that infiltrates our lives (especially through social media) and how that doesn't make us feel good. It can cause us to spend money we don't have to keep up with a lifestyle we think others have. I'd like include Cruze's tips to address ways to better plan for holiday spending in a way that lines up with your budget, values, and relationships so you can feel good about how you approach gift giving (and charity giving) in a way that makes you feel good, without having spending regrets in January. We can also cover a few "just in case" items to possibly have on hand for last-minute gifts and what to do if someone spends more on you than you can afford.
Let me know if this is of interest for a November or December piece.
Diana, would you be interested in a different spin on this, "How to start the year off right … financially"?
We're all set for holiday content, so I think a New Year twist would be a nice way to make this fit.

Write in plain, conversational English; make sure you use the language that your target audience will understand. By necessity if you use industry terms, make sure to explain appropriately. For a short animated video, your script can be written using any word processor. Google docs and Ever note are also recommended. Mar 23, 2007 Writers simply will not write to a proper length.
