Record-setting Lloyd leads U.S. past Chile
Why Carli Lloyd's best USWNT role is off the bench (0:49)
Carli Lloyd started and scored two goals in the United States' win vs. Chile, but Kate Markgraf explains why Lloyd's best role is as a substitute. (0:49)
The United States beat Chile 3-0 on a record-setting night for Carli Lloyd in its second group-stage match at the Women's World Cup in Paris on Sunday to secure a spot in the round of 16.
Lloyd scored twice in the first half to move into third on the all-time scoring charts for the Americans with 10 behind Michelle Akers (12) and Abby Wambach (14), and also became the first player to score in six consecutive Women's World Cup games. Julie Ertz also found the back of the net.

Jill Ellis made seven changes to the side that beat Thailand 13-0 on Tuesday -- including the addition of Lloyd -- and the U.S. wasted no time picking up right where they left off as Lloyd buried a volley from just outside the Chilean penalty area to open the scoring in the 11th minute.
After the match, Ellis weighed in on Lloyd's starting prospects going forward: "The fact that she's now scored three goals, I don't think she could be in a better spot [to start]. I also know she's ready to do whatever she needs to for the team."
The U.S. then doubled its lead soon after Lloyd's opener with a deft, glancing header by Ertz from a corner kick that beat Chile keeper Christiane Endler, before Lloyd added a second goal of her own from another corner to send her team to the dressing room with a 3-0 half-time lead.
Ellis handed Jessica McDonald her World Cup debut at the start of the second half, as Ertz made way for the 31-year-old member of the NWSL's North Carolina Courage.
The U.S. spent the first 20 minutes of the second half applying massive pressure to the Chilean defense, with Endler, who plays professionally for Paris-Saint Germain, producing a string of world-class saves to keep the Americans out.
"Endler was fantastic, spectacular," Ellis said after the match. "She is one of best shot stoppers we've ever seen. That goalkeeper will keep that team in the mix and it's a wonderful statement about the level of goalkeeping."
VAR handed the U.S. a chance to add to the scoreline with a penalty, but Lloyd failed to get her spot kick on frame as Endler and the Chilean defense held on to keep the Americans scoreless in the second half.
"It's a mix of feelings, but I'm satisfied to have played like this, especially here, at this stadium that's my home," Endler told reporters.
"The football world powers have years of advantage compared to us in the development and support of women's football.
"This must be the beginning of something bigger and more important so more girls can dedicate themselves to the game professionally."
The win returns the U.S. to the top of Group F, level on points but ahead on goal differential of Sweden, which it plays on Thursday needing just a draw to win the group.
Both Sweden, which beat Thailand 5-1 on Sunday, and the U.S. are already assured of a spot in the knockout round.

Pre Statehood Land Grants In Texas History
The Importance of Pre-statehood Land Grants In Texas History, And How It Affects Texas Property Rights and Titling Today
By Misty Barton of Degree Jungle
Texas has a rich and diverse history that is specifically linked to the giving and taking of land within its borders. Texas is the only American state that was ever its own sovereign nation. Understanding how land grants were used to settle and populate Texas before its statehood is essential to understanding modern property ownership and land sectioning in the state.
Spanish Conquest
The Spanish court claimed Texas beginning in 1519, but did not truly show interest in settling the area of assigning land ownership until the late 1600s. The Spanish natives who were inhabiting Mexico viewed Texas as distant, wild, and unfit for habitation. During the 150-year period when Spanish citizens were actively trying to populate and settle Texas, only sixty land grants were claimed, and most of those were assigned to missionary groups attempting to convert the natives to Catholicism. Most of those land titles centered around the Nacogdoches area, with fewer than ten titles granted in the San Antonia Goliad region. Today, roughly four million acres of Texas land are still controlled by the descendants of the original owners of Spanish land grants, and the original Spanish title is still considered a legally binding document.
Mexican Texas
In 1821, Mexico established its independence. Mexican officials decided to colonize Texas in order to dampen Indian activity along the border and discourage American expansion into South and Central America. It was during this period that Stephen Austin came to Mexico and fought for the colonization of Texas. He lobbied for, and was granted, a substantial amount of land under the Colonization Act of 1823. He attracted 300 families to the area between the Brazos and Colorado Rivers and granted each family land to farm. The survey methods used first by Austin at his colony were carried over to the Republic of Texas and used to set the boundaries of many later land grants. The Colonization Act of 1823 was replaced by a new set of laws in 1825, which required settlers to repay the state government for the land grant over a period of six years. A total of 22,000,000 acres wer deeded out by the Mexican government, all of which are legally recognized titles of ownership today.
The Republic of Texas
In 1836 the Republic of Texas established itself as a sovereign state, under the reign of no foreign government. In November of that year the government of Texas awarded land grants of 640 acres to any man who was willing to sign up for two years of service in the Texas regular army. When this did not attract enough volunteers, the land agreement was increased to 800 acres. When war broke out, men were offered 640 acres to serve the full length of the war, and 320 acres were awarded to those who served at least three months. If a man died in service his full tract was awarded to any surviving family member who staked a claim. In 1837, an even more attractive deal was struck promising men 320 acres for every three months of service, for up to 1,280 acres per man. The totals which came from these, and several similar laws that promised land grants for state service, were called "bounty warrants" and "battle donation grants". A total of 5,354,250 acres were granted through bounty warrants, and 1,162,240 acres were titled through battle donation grants. Acres were also sold to settlers on a multi-year repayment system in order to generate land revenue. In all, during its 10 years as a republic, 41,570,733 acres of Texas land were titled.

Razorback defensive end Tre Williams prepares for a play Oct. 16 during Arkansas' loss to Auburn. Williams and the Hogs will get their shot at the Crimson Tide this Saturday.
Haydon King // Staff Photographer
No. 21 Hogs head to Tuscaloosa to face No. 2 Alabama

No. 21 Arkansas (7-3, 3-3 SEC) will travel to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, to take on the No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide (9-1, 5-1 SEC) Saturday in Bryant-Denny Stadium.
The Hogs are coming off a 16-13 overtime victory over the LSU Tigers, while the Crimson Tide undertook a 59-3 thrashing of the New Mexico State Aggies last Saturday.
The Razorbacks have averaged 30.9 points per game this season under offensive coordinator Kendal Briles. He has utilized the running game well. Arkansas has averaged 233.5 yards per game, the second-most in the Southeastern Conference, and 5.13 yards per carry, the sixth-most in the SEC.
The Crimson Tide offense has been dominant with an SEC-leading 44.6 points per game, and 484.7 yards of total offense per game, the third-most in the conference.
The Hogs will have to limit Alabama's rushing attack Saturday, Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman said.
"We've talked to the team about how we're going to go on runs and Alabama is going to go on runs," Pittman said on his weekly radio show Wednesday. "And it's about how fast you can stop the run."
Sophomore quarterback Bryce Young has been a front-runner for the Heisman Trophy with a completion percentage of 70.9 for 3,025 yards, 33 touchdowns and three interceptions. The Pasadena, California, native boasts an 86.9 quarterback rating, the fourth-best in the nation.
Alabama head coach Nick Saban, who has led the Crimson Tide to six national championships, said he is impressed with how Pittman has turned around the Razorback program in his second year.
"Sam Pittman has done a fantastic job, I think," Saban said Monday. "They've probably improved as much from last year to this year as anybody in the country. They've had some great wins over some very good SEC teams and they've got really good players."
Arkansas sophomore quarterback KJ Jefferson gave a satisfactory performance at LSU, and is 10 passing yards away from 2,000 this season. He has thrown for 17 touchdowns and three interceptions and accumulated a QBR of 72.
Pittman said Alabama's defense is going to be a big challenge for Arkansas.
"They're loaded up with talented guys defensively," Pittman said. "When you think of Alabama, for years you think of their defense because of Nick Saban. You continue to think that. For the fans, Will Anderson is probably as good a rush end as there is in the country."
The Crimson Tide defense, the fifth-best in the NCAA, is allowing 18.2 points and 290.5 yards per game.
Alabama leads the all-time series 21-8 and holds a 13-game win streak over Arkansas. The last time the Razorbacks took down the Crimson Tide was in 2006, when Arkansas defeated Alabama 24-23 in double overtime in Fayetteville.
Though the odds are stacked against the Hogs, Arkansas linebacker Grant Morgan, who was named a finalist for the Burlsworth Trophy on Tuesday, said he is confident the Hogs can topple the Crimson Tide.
"It is very important to be on one page," Morgan said. "If we have guys who don't think they can win, then it's obviously going to combat everybody and be like people going against us."
Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p.m., and the game will be broadcast on CBS. Alabama is favored to win by 21 points with the over/under at 57.5, according to College Football News.

Home city guide history of howrah
Howrah is a very important place situated across the River Hooghly, on the opposite side of Kolkata. The district of Howrah is one of the most important districts in the state of West Bengal. The city of Howrah is steeped in history and culture. The people of the state play a big role in determining the fortunes of the state. Howrah has huge significance in the economy of the West Bengal since a lot of factories are built here. This is the reason Howrah was known as the 'Sheffield of the East'. The industrial output of the state majorly depended on Howrah. The British played a major role in setting up the factories here.
The history of the district of Howrah dates back to the period much before the British Rule in India. Howrah was part of the erstwhile Bengal kingdom, known as Bhurshut. This place has been mentioned by the explorer from Venice, Cesare Federici. This particular explorer had travelled to India sometime between the years of 1565 and 1579. He had mentioned in his journal dating back to the circa 1578 about a place known as Buttor. He had written that the place had some kind of a commercial port, and large ships were able to enter the port carrying goods.
The modern place of Bator near Howrah is probably the place Federici had written about. Bator had been mentioned in a Bengali poem known as Manasamangal, which was written by a poet, Bipradas Pipilai, in the year 1495. The modern day places of Howrah, Salkia, Ramakrishnapur, Kasundia and Bator are mentioned in the petition that the British East India Company's Bengal Council had sent in 1713, to the grandson of Aurangzeb, Farrukhsiyar, upon the latter's accession to the throne in Delhi. This list of villages was asked to be settled for some dispute. After that the above mentioned places were mentioned in the Bengal council's Consultation Book on 4th May, 1714.
Howrah Chronology
By the year of 1728, most parts of the present day district of Howrah were under the "zamindari" of either Burdwan or Muhammed Aminpur. This continued till the Battle of Plassey in 1757. The Battle of Plassey saw a big turn of events in the state of Bengal. Mir Qasim became the new Nawab of Bengal. A treaty was signed with him by the British, on 11th October 1760. Howrah district came under the rule of the British East India Company since then. The East India Company formed the Hooghly district in 1787 and the whole of present district of Howrah came under the Hooghly district. Howrah was made into a separate district in the year 1843.
Howrah Railway Station was established in the year of 1854. After this, the actual industrial development was started in this district. The railway line played an instrumental role in bringing the raw materials from various parts of the country to the factories in Howrah. The flour mills started operating in 1855. The Jute mills soon followed suit and were established in the year 1870. There were as many as 5 mills near the Howrah railway station. The new terminus of Shalimar was constructed in the year 1883. That very year, the Howrah-Shalimar railway section started to operate as well. New industries grew up along this railway section as well.
The railway expanded to other parts of the country gradually. By the year 1914, the whole of India was connected by railways. With the expansion of operations of the Indian Railway, the requirement for the repair works and the rolling stocks increased. The railway workshop was built in Howrah during this time, to be able to meet the growing maintenance demands of the railway. During this period of time, the demands for the light engineering works increased as well. A lot of employment opportunities cropped up. Large number of people from the neighboring states started coming to Howrah in search of a job. Thousands of people started to work in the factories in and around Howrah.
The district became a happening place as far as industry and employment was concerned. The migratory workers started settling down with their families in the neighboring areas. A lot of slums grew up in an absolutely unplanned manner all over the district of Howrah. Belur Math was established in the year of 1898, on the banks of River Hooghly, in a place called Belur in Howrah district. This is the world headquarters of the Ramakrishna Mission. Swami Vivekananda and a number of his disciples played a big role in setting up the mission and making it a giant organization of the world. The religious and social activities held at the Belur Math draw a large number of tourists and devotees from all over the world. This place has helped to put Howrah on the global map.
Present Day Howrah
Today Howrah is a bustling urban city. After Kolkata, the capital of Bengal, Howrah is the biggest city in West Bengal. The Howrah Bridge is the major landmark of the city of Howrah. The city is most identified with the Howrah Bridge. The bridge truly is an engineering marvel and speaks a lot about the architecture of the bridge. The railway station of Howrah is one of the most important stations in India. It connects the eastern part of the country with the rest of India.
Millions of people use the station to reach other parts of the country as well as avail the suburban railway stations of Bengal. In the last few years, Howrah has seen a major change as far as the entertainment industry is concerned. The two shopping malls, namely R.D. Mall and Avani Riverside Mall have come up within a span of a very few years. The people of Howrah can visit these malls to enjoy themselves. They can have good food, watch awesome movies and shop to their heart's content at these malls.
It can be thus observed that Howrah has a rich and composite history to its name all through the test of time.

Sometimes, home finds you. Eight years ago, Thomas Fritz immigrated to Canada from Germany and lived in a number of towns and small cities in British Columbia, looking for the place where he would eventually settle. He chose Creston because of the chance to purchase a meat shop that was for sale.
Fritz has an extensive family background in the business—his father was a master butcher in Germany, and Fritz said the business is an homage to him.
His business philosophy is simple but effective: if you provide a superior product at a good price, people will come. Getting his business up and running hasn't been without challenges, though. Fritz had to adapt to a new culture in order to succeed. He also had to rely on ingenuity and a willingness to continually reinvest in his own business in order to get to that point.
Fritz—a lifelong entrepreneur who founded his first business at the age of 19—found that some of the equipment necessary to recreate Old World flavours didn't exist in Canada. And, as an immigrant with no credit history, funding was challenging.

My name is Bobby and after a long year full of mistakes and life lessons, I found myself caught up in a "Maze" both figuratively and literally. Deciding to march this summer was the best decision I have made in a long time. This summer is going to be my 4th season marching Pacific Crest, the first three on trumpet, and this year (my age-out) I am marching tuba.
I should also say that the tuba spot I am marching was a hole that I filled about two weeks ago, and I did my first full run of the show tonight at rehearsal! I am so excited to be back on the field and to be doing it with people that mean so much to me. I still have so many things that I need to fine tune with my show, but the plan is to be ridiculous.
I can only imagine when I look back on my life that there will be things that stand out more than others, and I already know the years I have spent on the field will be some of my greatest memories. The strange thing is that I thought about giving up my last opportunity doing what I love to stand on the sideline and watch. Now I know every day why I love drum corps so much, and why I couldn't give it up.
The past two weeks have been very eventful for me. My first day back with the corps, we started the day off with physical training, and I really wanted to throw up during the run. The sad thing about it is that we only ran a mile, and I was a vet. I should've been at the front of the block, but I was so out of shape.
That was a rough day, especially when I picked up my horn for the first time. It was so heavy, and I really hated my friends for convincing me to march. Thankfully we were learning closer drill that weekend, so most of the time I didn't even have my horn with me, but when I did, I wasn't marching the horn, it was definitely marching me.
At the end of the day, I was exhausted. For the next five days I had never been so sore in my entire life; my body ached just sitting down and even more when I had to stand back up. Needless to say things got easier, at least in terms of my ability to hold and march my horn as well as the physicality expected of us.
I learned the show my first week, but due to some strange circumstances, my first full run of the show wasn't until tonight. At the end of rehearsal last Thursday, the corps director was talking to us about some logistical stuff about our site and our upcoming shows. I yawned because I was tired. I soon found out that was a huge mistake because my jaw dislocated. My jaw literally would not close; it was stuck wide open, and there was nothing that I could do about it. I didn't know what to do, and I didn't want to tell anyone, so I got up and ran to the bathroom to try and fix it myself, but of course that would've been too easy.
Then I had to run back to the corps director, and I tried to explain to him what happened but it was really difficult because I couldn't move my jaw. He rushed me to the nearest emergency room, which was luckily only a mile away, but my jaw was still stuck open for two hours. When I got to the hospital, everyone there was so calm, and I was stressing out. I just wanted everyone to move faster and fix me.
I surprisingly had a really pleasant experience at the hospital; I had a lot of firsts that day. I wore my first hospital gown, got my first IV put in and heart monitors hooked up, and even got put to sleep for the first time. That was what the doctor had to do to put my jaw back into place but that part was actually pretty funny. I remember after they reset my jaw, I was still out of it because of the meds, but I got really excited and started moving my jaw a lot and got it stuck again. The nurses were mad at me, and the doctor had to fix it again, and then they wrapped my head up, so I couldn't talk. They let me sleep for about an hour, and then I was released; I just had to follow up with my doctor in a week.
It turns out I have some condition called temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, and I couldn't play my tuba the whole weekend until I saw my doctor. I am good to play now; I just have to limit my amount of jaw movement and try not to get it stuck again; otherwise I will be right back in the ER. I was really scared it was going to happen again, and I just wanted to go home and see my mom, but I couldn't. After getting out of the hospital, I only had two hours before the buses left to go to Northern California.
I was talking to my friend Cameron (he's a trumpet player in the horn line), and I told him I was stressing out about what happened because my jaw muscles were really tight and I could barely open my mouth. He called his mom and talked to her about what happened; she was a dental surgeon. She put my mind somewhat at ease because she said it would be sore due to how long it was open for, and soon enough we were at our housing site.
This weekend went by so fast; I learned the whole show. The first two times I did the show, I chose to do it without my horn for a couple of reasons. I was not yet comfortable with my drill; I was using a mixture of dots and guiding to my drill buddy Mike Jones. He and I are next to each other pretty much the entire show, and he really helped me out a lot when I was learning my drill.
Also, I was scared of my horn. It was heavy for me. I had only been there a week and a half, and switching from a 2.5 lb. horn to almost a 42 lb. horn was not an easy transition. Plus I was not used to the visual impairment that the horn had. I was used to being able to use my peripherals to guide left and right, but now there was a big horn in my way.

GemLab Laboratories is acknowledged to offer legit gemstone certification for the gemstones. It is one of the most trusted brands in the gemstone market which is known to offer a legit certificate for the gemstones.
But before that do we know that why it is hard to spot a gemstone dealer who issues a legit certification of gemstone? Because unfortunately, jewelers or gemstone dealer does not hold required expertise to issue authentic gemstone certification.
It occurs because most of the present jewelers and gemstone suppliers have narrow knowledge regarding actual gemstone certification.
Though they issue a certificate along with the gemstone, that is predominately not relevant. Because, unlike diamond certification, gemstone certification cater subtle details of the gemstone.
Hence it is categorically not possible for a jeweler or mostly for many gemstone dealers to provide the legit certification of the stone.
Maybe after reading this first paragraph, You would be scratching your head that which gemstone wholesaler can provide legit certification along with the gemstone.
In order to check you may personally, you will see that they have attested certificate with each gemstone with a unique GIN number.
GemLab one of the most trusted and legit company which is dealing in gemstone certification for more than a decade. This company has spread worldwide and offered their certification all over the world. For more information about their corporate offices, you may pay a visit to their site.
We all know that experience matter in almost every field. So does for the gemstone certification companies as well. And, here on the parameter of experience, Gemlab stands far away from the other gem certification providing companies. It has been working in the field of gemstone certification for more than a decade.
At GemLab each and every stone has been well-tested by an experience Gemologists. Whereas, in other gem certification companies they have installed several machines, wherein they simply put the stone and fetch out the certificate.
Most of these companies don't have experienced Gemologists which can manually test and investigate each stone before issuing a certificate to it. However, in the case of Gemlab laboratories, they are working in the field of Gemology for more than a decade.
Moreover, they have a separate team of highly acclaimed Gemologists who inspect stone, meticulously before issuing a certificate to it.
GemLab laboratory offers complete testing of a gemstone. Being in the field of Gemology, they have advanced techniques and will form laboratories to inspect gemstone.
Precisely, while inspecting a gemstone they consider the following points: all the properties of the gemstone, inclusions, gemstone cutting, gemstone origin, basic Crystallography to define the internal atomic structure of the stone. Moreover, they even consider the color properties of the stone, thermal conductivity, refractive index before classifying that the stone is natural or not.
Certified gemstones are basically that gemstone which is being certified by a well-established and probably the legit Gemlab certification company. Undoubtedly, Gemlab is considered to be one of the most trusted brands in the field of gemstone certification.

Q: g.fillRect in Eclipse is not available I am watching a tutorial from this guy :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwu4DAoac-I
...And now I have to use the
g.fillRect(..,.., getWidtch(), getHeight());
Code.
But Eclipse doesnt have that so I cannot continue programming. That has to be in some package.
And if I wanted to download all packages with SHIFT, CTRL, O
Eclipse doesnt do anything.
What is the solution?
Thank you!

A: Try one of these:

*

*Try ctrl-shift-O in that order instead.

*Hover your mouse over g.fillRect. There should be an option to import it.

*At the top of the file, type import java.awt.Graphics

Inaugural Bison Crawl to Celebrate National Bison Day
Photo by Rick Short_USDA FS Midewin NTP
Millions of bison, our country's official national mammal, once thundered across North America. These massive animals, characterized by long, shaggy brown coats, have poor eyesight, but acute hearing and an excellent sense of smell. Celebrate the key role they played in the settlement of our young nation on National Bison Day, November 3, by joining in the first-ever Bison Crawl. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie and Forest Preserve District of Will County, Two Hounds Antiques, Manhattan-Elwood Public Library and Wilmington Public Library are collaborating on a host of open-to-the-public activities at stops along the crawl.
At the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie stop, visit with volunteers and staff along the Iron Bridge Trail and look for the Midewin bison herd that roams over 1,000 acres. The Iron Bridge Trailhead at Midewin is located on the east side of Highway 53, between Elwood and Wilmington, about two miles north of the Gemini Giant.
"There is something very special about National Bison Day here at the USDA Forest Service's Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie; it is one of our favorite days of the year," says Veronica Hinke, Midewin public affairs officer and public services team leader. "This year, we are looking forward to co-hosting bison interpretive activities with neighboring organizations who share our passion in spreading the message about the ecological, historical and economic importance of bison. You can study up at the bison learning stations in Manhattan and in Wilmington—and then you can take a hike near where a herd of conservation bison actually lives and contributes to the restoration of this incredible ecosystem."
The herd was established in 2015 as a 20-year conservation experiment. Volunteers and staff are monitoring the herd to see if its grazing pattern, which creates varied grass lengths, is encouraging the return of native Illinois prairie plants, insects, birds and other species.
The Midewin Welcome Center will be open to visit with staff and volunteers, learn about bison and watch a film that shows the Midewin bison herd arriving in 2015. Visitors can get up close and touch a real bison pelt. "Bison Bags" are available to be checked out year-round.
At the Forest Preserve District of Will County stop on the Bison Crawl, Sugar Creek Administration Center, in Joliet, get a close-up look at a real bison pelt, horns, jaw and shoulder bone. A representative from Ruhter Bison Farm, Prairie Rim Ranch, will talk about the farm's history, practices and products related to bison. Try the bison chip throwing contest—the grand prize is a bison skull donated by Ruhter Bison Farm, in Newman. Bison chip throws will follow each interpretive prairie ecology hike. Everyone will have a chance to throw a chip at the end of each hike at 10:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m.
In Wilmington, Two Hounds Antiques will present natural shopping and learning opportunities. John Gardener will be on hand to talk about the importance of bees and beekeeping to support native species. Vendors will offer hot and cold food selections, bison-related items and handmade leather goods.
Visitors can get a close look at bison teeth, bones and small sections of pelts at the Manhattan-Elwood Public Library and the Wilmington Public Library. Both will also host bison learning stations for the two weeks before Bison Day.
Location: Midewin Welcome Center, 30239 S. State Rte. 53, Wilmington, IL.; Sugar Creek Administration Center, 17540 W. Laraway Rd., Joliet; Two Hounds Antiques, 315 N. Water St., Wilmington; Manhattan-Elwood Public Library, 240 Whitson St., Manhattan; Wilmington Public Library, 201 S. Kankakee St., Wilmington.

Not many people are amputees. Still fewer people are prosthetists. Not many amputees are hip-disarticulation cases. Hence, not many prosthetists are interested in hip-disarticulation prostheses except when occasion demands. That just about sums up the history of hip-disarticulation prosthetics.
A more intensive look at the picture reveals two more or less standard approaches to the problem, but usually there are as many variations as there are limbshops. The accompanying illustrations (Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, and Fig. 6) indicate the practice, if not the principle, of conventional fitting, together with some of the variants. A study of the principles of conventional fitting is even more revealing. The guiding one seems to be this: Take one standard above-kn ee leg and build on to it until it can be strapped to the amputee. The practice certainly bears this out. Even the term "tilting-table prosthesis" suggests working from the leg up to the stump, instead of beginning with the amputee, who properly should be the focal point in any attempt at rehabilitation.
This back-handed approach to problems is not something unique among limbfitters. The plumber is more interested in joining pipes than he is in the water requirements of a household. The airplane pilot is more concerned with the trim of the aircraft than with the comfort of the passengers' seats. The prosthetist's main interest lies in making a leg he can fit on the customer, and in so doing he has shown a considerable amount of ingenuity. Perhaps had the variations not been local in nature, more progress could have been made. Many fitters have come surprisingly close to the Canadian-type prosthesis, and no doubt others actually envisioned the basic principles without achieving the mechanical design.
Generally speaking, the hip-disarticulation case has been considered very unfortunate when compared with other above-knee cases. Perhaps some of this attitude is owing to the fact that a great many cases are not of traumatic origin and that therefore the life expectancy is short. In any event, the result is that the amputee is not encouraged to expect much from his prosthesis. The usual complaints are mechanical in nature-rattling in the joints and the need for frequent repair. Accordingly, most innovations in the prostheses have been directed toward solving these mechanical problems, and more by chance than by design functional advantages evolved.
Conventional hip-disarticulation prostheses are usually classified into two main categories, the saucer type and the more common tilting-table type.
The saucer type of prosthesis, shown in Fig. 1, is essentially a standard above-knee leg with a saucer-shaped socket on top of the thigh. Suspension is by means of a single-axis joint and pelvic band and may include fore and aft straps that pass over the shoulder. This type is most suitable for short-femur amputations because adequate stability is difficult to achieve without the additional bone structure. In accord with common practice with above-knee legs, the hip joint is placed well forward, thus providing some measure of stability. A lock may or may not be used at the hip joint. If a lock is used, it is of the semiautomatic type. A lever is pressed to release the lock for sitting, and the lock engages automatically on full extension. The lock provides stability (at some loss of function), but it offers mechanical difficulties because all the loads are fun-neled through the relatively small joint.
Although not so simple or as light as the saucer type, the tilting-table prosthesis is more generally used because of the additional support. Fig. 2 shows a typical prosthesis. A socket, usually of leather, is made to fit the stump and attached by a belt around the pelvis and often with a strap over the shoulder. The socket is articulated on the thigh section with a metal joint lateral to the acetabulum. Again the joint may or may not have a semiautomatic lock. Without a lock, the wearer has little control over the limb, most of the stability during the stance phase being afforded by friction between the socket and the thigh section.
Because it is extremely difficult to make a hip joint strong enough to bear the entire load, contact between the socket and the medial edge of the thigh section is essential in weight-bearing, and this expedient is of course equally important when a lock is used. Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 illustrate two methods that have been tried. In Fig. 3, a strap is fastened to the socket and passed under rollers attached near the medial brim of the thigh. These rollers also take the downward thrust of the socket, and a metal track may be attached to the socket for the rollers to bear upon. Fig. 4 illustrates a dead-center latch mechanism. When the hip joint is fully extended, the latch flips by dead center and secures the socket to the thigh. A hip lock is necessary with this arrangement.
Fig. 5 illustrates a fairly common departure in design. The walking function is identical, but the hip joint has been lowered to a position beneath the socket where a full-width bearing may be made much lighter. Because of the position of the joint directly below the center of gravity, however, a lock must be used. Along with the usual inconveniences and mechanical difficulties, this type also has distinct disadvantages in sitting. The thigh section is much shorter than normal, and the bulk of the joint raises the socket about an inch above chair height.
Fig. 6 shows a rather interesting deviation. This design uses a track-and-roller mechanism in which the center of rotation is a few inches lower and anterior to the acetabulum. The actual model seen by the writer was heavy and crude in construction so that binding of the rollers on the tracks prevented free motion, but it is worth noting since in principle it is almost identical to the present Canadian type, and it seems to be designed with a view toward improving function.
At the close of World War II, the U. S. Navy designed and fitted an hydraulic prosthesis with the primary purpose of improving function. Fig. 7 illustrates the main features of the device. The very large ball-bearing hip joint was made strong enough to bear all the weight, thus obtaining a free joint. An extension controlled the motion about the knee joint. The cylinder in turn was controlled by a valve which was either automatically or manually actuated. Normal motion about the hip joint allowed the piston to move slowly, as in an automobile shock absorber, and the knee joint was thus permitted to flex and extend with some damping. But fast rotation about the hip joint (as in stumbling) caused the valve to close and thus stabilized the knee. The manual control also closed the valve and locked the knee in any position. There were two disadvantages of this device- cost and weight. In addition, the application of hydraulics to prosthetics usually introduces problems of noise, leakage, and occasional erratic behavior.
A review of prosthetics practice in the hip-disarticulation case would be incomplete without reference to materials. The shank and thigh members are usually of wood covered with rawhide as in standard above-knee legs, but because of the saving in weight aluminum-alloy members are preferable when available. Steel is the almost exclusive medium for hip joints and locks, but in the Navy hydraulic prosthesis aluminum alloy was used to save weight. Sockets are usually made of two layers of leather, with Celastic core for stiffness. Aluminum alloy and monel (an alloy of copper and nickel) have been quite successful. They are usually lighter, more sanitary, and easier to attach to the joints. Plastic laminates are light, strong, sanitary, and easily molded to complex shapes, and it is not surprising to find them successfully used in hip-disarticulation sockets. It was the ease of fabrication that made possible the plastic socket with the wrap-around pelvic band (page 33).
Generally speaking, the materials and the mechanical designs were chosen with a view toward solving the mechanical problems, and it was with this thought in mind that design study was begun at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto. The highlights of this study are worth noting as an illustration of how an indirect approach to a problem can achieve results.
The primary objective at Sunnybrook was to construct a hip-disarticulation prosthesis that would avoid the stress concentrations in conventional locks and to provide a simple method for releasing the locks. The first experimental prosthesis employed a four-link mechanism, as shown in Fig. 8. The links were about 4 in. wide to provide adequate lateral strength. The socket was plastic and the thigh section aluminum alloy. It was intended that a posterior strap be used to lock the leg in full extension, but initial trials indicated adequate stability without a lock owing to the fact that at or near full extension the effective hip center was well forward of the center of gravity and because the posterior brim of the thigh prevented hyperextension. In order to achieve simplicity in assembly and to increase mechanical rigidity, the forward link was lengthened and made strong enough to support all the main loads (Fig. 9). The rear link thus acted only as a guide and could be made light and adjustable.
One difficulty remained-there was a chopping action between the top of the thigh and the socket such that serious pinching could result. Owing to the geometry of the linkage system, the gap between the thigh and the socket was present whenever the thigh was neither fully flexed nor fully extended.
The next step in the evolution was to extend the front link to include the knee joint and to replace the rear link with a simple rubber stop to prevent hyperextension. This final configuration, shown in Fig. 10, permitted the use of a single broad joint without locks. At first it was felt that the position of the stop would be critical, and accordingly the first unit included a stop that could easily be adjusted by the amputee. It was soon found that this feature was not critical and that initial adjustment by shimming or grinding was adequate. The most apparent difficulty was the tendency for too long and too slow a stride, and thus the elastic webbing was added to restrain hip flexion. Cosmetic appearance was improved by a floating thigh cover (Fig. 11) made of horsehide and attached to the socket only. A foam-rubber liner was glued to the horsehide to give it stiffness.
Apart from the mechanical simplicity of the new prosthesis, functional advantages soon became apparent. Little effort was required in the swing phase, and a full stride was easily obtained. Previously, with a locked hip joint, hip flexion was simulated either by pelvic rotation or by motion of the socket on the stump. The resultant gait was usually jerky and tiring, although some amputees had learned to walk surprisingly well. Since the amputee is actually "sitting" in the socket, complaints of discomfort were not common, but obtaining adequate security in the socket was a different matter.
Too seldom have the bony prominences of the ilium been used for secure fitting. Usually a broad, leather pelvic belt, as in Fig. 2, was used for lateral support and a shoulder strap was added to prevent the socket from dropping down during the swing phase. The excessive weight of many prostheses necessitated the shoulder strap. The ischial seat is nearly always available for direct weight-bearing, and the areas for taking pressure elsewhere are large. If the socket is extended in the form of a band across the back of the pelvis and around to the opposite iliac crest, then three points of the innominate bones are firmly gripped, as shown in Fig. 12. Since these three points are well spaced, excellent lateral stability is obtained. It is undesirable to have the socket extend above the iliac crests since doing so causes restriction and discomfort. Adequate vertical support can be obtained by ensuring a close fit in the area between the crests and the anterior-superior spine of each ilium.
The Canadian-type prosthesis has been fitted to many amputees at various centers and over a period of several years. Stability with the free hip and knee joints is adequate if correct alignment is attained and if some gait training is provided. In a fall, the prosthesis is usually safer, since the joints collapse and prevent vaulting. One amputee has sustained several falls without injury to himself or the prosthesis. There are, however, several improvements possible in walking characteristics of the prosthesis. The elastic check-strap prevents excessive hip flexion, but some means should be provided for cadence control. Without restraining forces at the knee and hip, the leg tends to walk at its own pace as determined by its pendulum properties. Correctly applied friction or hydraulic devices could enhance the swing characteristics so that various speeds and strides could easily be attained. Furthermore, stability at the knee joint depends upon hyperextension. This means that knee flexion requires effort. A knee which would provide adequate stability at heel contact and yet flex easily when required would offer a big advantage. No doubt several years hence the present device will seem crude and clumsy; in the meantime it provides a light, strong, and relatively efficient prosthesis.

Kunstformen der Natur (1904) by Ernst Haeckel
Rootless cosmopolitan (безродный космополит, bezrodnyi kosmopolit) was a Soviet pejorative euphemism widely used during Soviet anti-Semitic campaign of 1948–1953, which culminated in the "exposure" of the non-existent Doctors' plot. The term "rootless cosmopolitan" referred mostly to Jewish intellectuals, as an accusation in their lack of patriotism, i.e., lack of full allegiance to the Soviet Union. The campaign against "rootless cosmopolitans" began in 1946, when Joseph Stalin in his speech in Moscow attacked writers who were ethnic Jews. Historically, the expression was first coined in 19th century by Russian literary critic Vissarion Belinsky to describe writers who lacked Russian national character.

This example shows how to design digital fractional delay filters that are implemented using Farrow structures. Digital fractional delay (fracDelay) filters are useful tools to fine-tune the sampling instants of signals. They are, for example, typically found in the synchronization of digital modems where the delay parameter varies over time. This example illustrates the Farrow structure, a popular method for implementing time-varying FIR fracDelay filters.
The ideal fractional delay filter is a linear phase allpass filter. Its impulse response is a time-shifted discrete sinc function that corresponds to a non causal filter. Since the impulse response is infinite, it cannot be made causal by a finite shift in time. It is therefore non realizable and must be approximated.
To compute the output of a fractional delay filter, we need to estimate the values of the input signal between the existing discrete-time samples. Special interpolation filters can be used to compute new sample values at arbitrary points. Among those, polynomial-based filters are of particular interest because a special structure - the Farrow structure - permits simple handling of coefficients. In particular, the tunability of the Farrow structure makes its well-suited for practical hardware implementations.
For any value of the delay, the ideal filter should have both a flat magnitude response and a flat phase delay response. The approximation is correct only for the lowest frequencies. This means that in practice the signals need to be over-sampled for the linear fractional delay to work correctly. Here you apply two different fractional delays to a sine wave and use the time scope to overlay the original sine wave and the two delayed versions. A delay of 0.2 samples with a sample rate of 1000 Hz, corresponds to a delay of 0.2 ms.
Increasing the order of the polynomials slightly increases the useful bandwidth when Lagrange approximation is used, the length of the differentiating filters i.e. the number of pieces of the impulse response (number of rows of the 'Coefficients' property) is equal to the length of the polynomials (number of columns of the 'Coefficients' property). Other design methods can be used to overcome this limitation. Also notice how the phase delay of the third order filter is shifted from 0.4 to 1.4 samples at DC. Since the cubic lagrange interpolator is a 3rd order filter, the minimum delay it can achieve is 1. For this reason, the delay requested is 1.4 ms instead of 0.4 ms for this case.
The advantage of the Farrow structure over a Direct-Form FIR resides in its tunability. In many practical applications, the delay is time-varying. For each new delay we would need a new set of coefficients in the Direct-Form implementation but with a Farrow implementation, the polynomial coefficients remain constant.

AFP combatting crime with Pacific partners
Publish date: Friday, 28 October 2022, Publish time: 5:32pm
Editor's note: Images from the conference are available via Hightail.
The AFP joined partners from across the Pacific at the 20th anniversary of the Pacific Transnational Crime Network (PTCN) Team Leaders Conference to bolster the fight against transnational crime across the region.
Established in 2002, the PTCN is a Pacific-led initiative that coordinates information sharing across the Pacific and provides proactive criminal intelligence and investigative assistance.
The three-day event provided attendees with the opportunity to address shared challenges and opportunities, and reaffirm their commitment to ensuring a stable, peaceful and prosperous region by combatting crime in the Pacific.
Delegates from 20 member countries attended the event hosted in Samoa, providing them with the opportunity to convene in-person, following three years of virtual conferences.
AFP Detective Superintendent Doug Witschi said the conference was an excellent opportunity to strengthen ties with law enforcement partners in the Pacific and gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced across the region.
"Transnational organised crime groups continue to threaten the safety of our communities across the Pacific, however the AFP and the PTCN remain more committed than ever to tackling this issue," Det-Supt Witschi said.
"This year's theme of Reconnections and Reflections highlighted the importance of maintaining close and collaborative partnerships with our Pacific family to effectively target organised crime,"
The AFP has more than 100 personnel based in nine nations across the Pacific region, in addition to supporting a range of regional capability development programs.
Background regarding the PTCN:
Established in 2002, the PTCN is a Pacific-led initiative that provides proactive criminal intelligence and investigative capability to combat transnational crime in the Pacific. The PTCN uses a multi-agency and regional approach to target transnational crime, encompassing Police, Immigration, Customs and other law enforcement and border agencies. The PTCN consists of 28 Transnational Crime Units (TCUs) based in 20 Pacific Island countries and the Pacific Transnational Crime Coordination Centre (PTCCC) in Samoa. The AFP has advisors to the PTCCC and to TCUs in Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu. The PTCCC coordinates information-sharing across the Pacific, including real-time alerts on suspicious vessel movements, drug seizures and illicit financial flows.

Lung cancer is largely preventable by eliminating tobacco smoke and radon exposure. This exploratory study assessed the relationships of demographic factors, including having one or more smokers living in the household, and a) lung cancer worry and b) completion of home screening for radon and secondhand smoke (SHS) among renters. A convenience sample of renters (N = 47) received free test kits for radon and SHS as part of a larger study. Demographic factors, lung cancer worry, and completion of home testing were assessed at baseline. The sample was mostly Caucasian (68%), female (62%), and educated beyond high school (70%). The average age was 43 years (SD = 15), and roughly half lived with at least one smoker (49%). Gender, race/ethnicity, education, and whether they had smokers in the home accounted for 35% of the variability in lung cancer worry, F(4, 42) = 5.6, p = .001. Lung cancer worry was associated with lower level of education, b = 0.77; SE(b) = 0.32, and having at least one smoker living in the home, b = 0.71; SE(b) = 0.31. Renters tested their homes for radon and SHS whether they had smokers in the home or not. Constructing and delivering educational messages that target low-educated populations may promote radon testing and smoke-free homes.

Meet Your Program Coordinator
The Art to Remember Program Coordinators love working with and learning more about you during the school fundraiser, so we thought that you may want to know more about them as well. Today, we'll meet Rachel Goar.
Rachel started working at Art to Remember a little over five years ago and this fall she joined the team full time as a Program Coordinator. Rachel said "I love the people I work with and our mission. I consider myself blessed to work for such a great company."
When Rachel isn't at work, she loves to stay active and be outside. "I'd say I'm the happiest and most at peace when I'm doing something outdoors. I love trail hiking or riding my bike. Fresh air and sunshine are two things I couldn't live without." Rachel completed her first Sprint Triathlon last year. "It was one of the most exhilarating moments of my life. It's slightly addicting; I plan on signing up again this year!"
Rachel has two dogs, Brixton and Livy. "They are my little shadows. They love walking trails, going for bike rides and riding around in the car. They would love to come to work with me if they could!"
Music and TV comedies are favorites of Rachel's as well. She loves all types of music, although her guilty pleasure is listening to boy bands like N'Sync and Backstreet Boys. And Rachel loves to laugh so she likes to watch The Big Bang Theory and reruns of The Office and Parks and Rec.
Thanks Rachel!
We truly want to make you feel like a part of the team when you partner with us – a team that is working towards the goal of raising more money for art education than ever before.
"The custom brochures came today and I LOVE THEM!!!!! Can't wait for the students and parents to see them. Thanks!"

REVIEW: MONTEGRAPPA MIA FOUNTAIN PEN
The Montegrappa Mia is perhaps one of the most classic embodiments of the Montegrappa style. It's the general type of pen I think of when you say the word 'Montegrappa'. Not too surprising, given that it shares its design language with a variety of the brand's pens, such as the Monte Grappa, or the Miya. Even the flagship Extra 1930 shares a lot of its DNA. One could say it's an unoriginal pen, then. But I think that'd be doing it a disservice, because it does have some strong selling points.
So then, what is that Montegrappa design language I'm talking about? Pick up the MIA, and you'll immediately notice its strikingly curvaceous line. Even down to the nicely rounded clip, the MIA is a bulbously-shaped, elegant, flat-top pen. Notice that all but one or two Montegrappa pens are flat-tops, a subtle but consistent element throughout their entire collection!
In the middle of the pen, a wide center band - also not unlike many other Montegrappa pens, although surprisingly simple in its execution on this particular pen. How I see it, the Miya, which is similar in both name and design, distinguishes itself with a more elaborate (and even larger!) center band design... but also a much higher price tag.
Talking about elaborate details, apart from the sort of ornamental sterling silver coin insert in the cap finial with the new Montegrappa logo (It doesn't really stand out that much if I'm being honest), the MIA features a strikingly simple design. I actually find it funny that Montegrappa tends to still be associated with its extravagant special editions (admittedly, a large part of their business), yet the bulk of their collection are actually very simple, elegant and sometimes even very modern pens!
Subtle details like the wide decorative metal band at the back of the barrel, or the slightly domed barrel finial with a little edge machined into it... It's the seemingly small and simple elements like this that make the design of the MIA. I'd maybe wish that all the trim (clip, cap band and decorative bands) was sterling silver, just like the medallion on the cap, but you get what you pay for with Montegrappa... and apparently, you're not quite paying enough yet! In any case, I think they did a good job keeping the design simple and straightforward, which creates a strong focus on the material.
Because let's face it: we're all here for that incredible, jaw-dropping, surreal, [insert any superlative here] 'Montegrappite' material. Yes, this material is developed and made by Montegrappa itself, and it's absolutely stunning. It may just be a humble acrylic, but the amount of depth and complexity, the extremely fine hairline striations of orange, red, transparent yellow, white, grey, and black of this 'Meteor Shower' colorway combine into a material that's unlike anything I've ever seen before. It may sound like I'm talking in hyperboles about this material, but I hope the pictures can at least sort of make you understand why!
L to R Platinum #3776, Montegrappa MIA, Montegrappa Zero, Montegrappa Elmo, Lamy Safari, Lamy 2000
The MIA is a mid-sized pen. At 14 cm/ 5.51" capped, it's certainly not small, but it also doesn't feel as large as a Pelikan M800 for example, even though it's only 2 mm shorter. It IS, however, a rather wide pen (16.5 mm/ 0.65" at the widest point), which makes it appear shorter and stout. Without the cap, the MIA is a decently sized pen for my hand, at 12.6 cm/ 4.96". The cap can post, and it does sit rather deep on the pen to make for a total length of just 15.6 cm/ 6.14" (very manageable), but I don't find it posts particularly secure. With a total weight of just 31 grams, the MIA has just enough substance to it, but still feels lightweight and nimble when writing.
So the dimensions are promising, but that doesn't tell you much, does it? What's more important is that the MIA is just a very, very comfortable pen in the hand. The gently curved shape naturally fits the hand and directs your grip towards the strongly tapered section, which comes down from the rather wide barrel to a relatively normal width. The section is extremely short, which sounds bad on paper, but the block threads (man, Montegrappa really has a knack for threads!) are beautifully machined and rounded off, so they are noticeable at best, but never bothersome. The way it steers your grip is precise and secure, without feeling restrictive. And for those that don't like metal grip sections, you'll be happy to note that it has an acrylic section that matches the rest of the pen.
Being on the lower end of Montegrappa's offering (notice I don't say the word 'affordable', it is after all still a Montegrappa so you'll still pay a pretty penny!), you don't get some of the niceties like Montegrappa's ratchet-style piston mechanism. But the screw-in converter does the job just fine.
You also don't get a gold nib, but since Montegrappa switched to JoWo, you can still expect more than adequate writing experience. In terms of looks, at least, there's certainly no reason to go for a gold nib, since both look more or less identical.
The writing experience is as you could expect from a JoWo steel nib. The MIA comes with a #6-sized nib, and my particular example was an extra-fine, which I find typically has a bit more feedback than the wider nibs in JoWo's offerings. That does make it feel more in line with how Montegrappa's super-feedbacky steel nibs used to be, but it's still a considerable upgrade. The EF nib receives more than enough ink to lay down a rather wet line, and it's precise and consistent in its performance. Nothing new from JoWo, nothing overly exciting either, but there's no denying that they're just all-round good writers.
The MIA rekindled my interest in Montegrappa, and it shows that they're able to innovate even in a lower - for them, at least - price bracket. The Montegrappite material alone should be worth it to give it a try, but it's also just an excellent pen overall. I can already tell that I'll have a hard time sending it back to Italy!
There's a catch though: for some reason, Montegrappa made this pen an Italian exclusive, which seems to have hampered its success so far, a shame for such a nice pen! And then there's the price... I already mentioned that it's in Montegrappa's 'lower' price bracket of pens, but Montegrappa being Montegrappa, that still translates to 290€ (or roughly 280$ outside Europe). Not cheap for a steel-nibbed fountain pen, but it's more or less in line with the pricing trend that most manufacturers are following these days. Of course, you can snag one up from our site sponsor, Casa Della Stilografica, so you can get 10% off with the discount code 'Firenze'.

According to WikiPedia a tile is a manufactured piece of hard-wearing material such as ceramic, stone, metal, or even glass, generally used for covering roofs, floors, walls, showers, or other objects such as tabletops. The word is derived from the French word tuile, which is, in turn, from the Latin word tegula, meaning a roof tile composed of fired clay. Tiles are often used to form wall and floor coverings, and can range from simple square tiles to complex mosaics. Tiles are most often made of ceramic, typically glazed for internal uses and unglazed for roofing.
According to WikiPedia a tile-based game is a game that uses tiles as one of the fundamental elements of play. Traditional tile-based games use small tiles as playing pieces for gambling or entertainment games. Some board games use tiles to create their board, giving multiple possibilities for board layout, or allowing changes in the board geometry during play.
