PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Morgan Webb just had her first baby. Her pregnancy was full of excitement.
Labor was induced at 39 weeks because of a study she agreed to be in. It included more than 6,000 healthy women in their first pregnancy at 41 hospitals across the United States, including Magee-Womens Hospital. They were randomly assigned to be induced or not.
When she found out she would be induced, it made her a little nervous.
Induction is a process of bringing on labor in an expectant mom who is not in labor. Doctors can break the water sac around the baby, and use medicines to soften the opening of the womb and to cause contractions. Doctors wanted to see if there was a difference in outcomes if labor was induced at 39 weeks, or if labor occurred on its own.
"The point of kind of maximal maturity for a baby is at 39 weeks of gestation, which is why that was selected," says Magee-Womens Hospital Maternal Fetal Medicine specialist Dr. Hyagriv Simhan.
Turns out, the induction group saw some benefits.
"In that induction group, we saw a lower risk of cesarean section, we saw a lower risk of developing hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, preeclampsia, and we saw that their babies were less likely to require neonatal respiratory support," says Dr. Simhan.
In general, about one in four women have labor induced — either for medical reasons, such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, or going beyond the due date, which carries a higher risk of stillbirth — or for convenience and predictability, which can be important for a family's schedule.
Could this study influence the management of late pregnancy? Perhaps.
The study was presented at the Society of Maternal Fetal Medicine Annual Meeting, and it still has to be peer reviewed and published.
Questions came up about the costs of more inductions versus the savings of fewer C-sections, and about how induction was carried out.
"In this study, we didn't pre-specify how the induction of labor would take place. It varied as it would vary across 41 hospitals in the U.S., each of which has its own particular protocols and approaches," Dr. Simhan explains.
Morgan's induction went smoothly, and in the end, she was glad she was in that group, though not everyone shares her enthusiasm.


The Bussard class cruisers were some of the oldest warships still to be in service with the German navy at the start of the First World War. They were originally built to serve in Germany's overseas colonies, and were classified as Fourth Class cruisers. They were amongst the last German warships to be powered by a combination of steam and sail, being equipped with a barque rig and a horizontal triple expansion engine.
During their career they were reclassified twice, first as light cruisers (1899) and then downgraded to gun boats in May 1914. Falke and Condor retained their barque rigs for their entire careers, while the remaining members of the class were given schooner rigs. Their active careers came to an abrupt end in 1914.
By the start of the First World War Bussard and Falke had already been broken up. Seeadler and Condor were in Germany, where they were decommissioned and used as mine storage ships. Seeadler was destroyed when her mines exploded while moored in the Jade River in 1917.
Cormoran was at Tsingtao, Germany's Chinese colony, when the war broke out. She was scuttled on 28 September 1914. Her 4.1in guns were removed and used to arm the Russian auxiliary cruiser Rjäsan, captured on 4 August 1914 by the Emden. The new commerce raider was then renamed Cormoran.
Geier was visiting Honolulu when war broke out, and was interned by the neutral United States. When America joined the war in 1917, the Geier was seized and taken into the U.S. Navy as U.S.S Carl Schurz. On 21 June 1918 she was involved in a collision and sank.


The Mind Blender...Sure to give you more than just whirled peas.
This is just a little contraption I came up with to try and jolt the old creative juices. One word of caution. Don't try to blend all of these at one time unless you really want to end up like Christopher Walken. Oh. And One more thing. Make sure the lid is on. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Here's a great list of tips and techniques about the creative process from jpb.com along with a bunch of other resources on creativity and digging for ideas. Some really good stuff worth taking a look at.
Welcome to the first ever Creator's Incubator. Since it's the inaugural edition, I thought it would be appropriate to give you a few behind the scenes stuff about my creative process.
Individual cartoons have their own set of sparks, so I thought I'd give you some of the everyday variety.
I like to surround myself with cartoon collectibles and cartoon art in the studio. It makes me feel at home.Here's just a few samples from my home studio.
1. Reading. Newspapers, magazines, websites, billboards, t-shirts, movie posters, anything visual It's the most important part of creating sports cartoons. After I read I let it soak in for a while.
2. Silence is golden for thinking up ideas. I can listen to music or CNN after I pencil the cartoon and I'm ready to ink, but not before.
3. Word play. I write down topics and free associate a visual metaphor for what it is I want to say in the cartoon. In my case it's usually an opinion I have about a topic I'm drawing on.
4. Ink don't think. The worst thing to do is force an idea. Ideas form when you're most relaxed, even if you are under deadline. If I get really stuck I'll put the subject I'm drawing about in the most outrageous situation I can imagine. Case in point. This Phelps cartoon.
5. Bang my head up against the wall and hope that something besides hair comes out.
Creativational Quote of the day: An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail.
The Rhino Recommends: This fantastic book about the founding of Pixar and the innovation and creativity it took to pull it all together.
Welcome to my Laboratory, "The Creator's Incubator".
The single most asked question I get as a cartoonist is "Where do you get your ideas"? Aside from the answer " I drink a lot and sleep late" once given in jest by cartoonist Gahan Wilson, I've always stumbled my way through it.
I've long been intrigued by the creative process and have often wanted to find a way to answer that elusive "ideas" question. So I decided why not feature daily insights, tips, and suggestions about this thing called creativity and how we can all apply it to our daily lives. Why not go "inside-the-lab" with stories about other creators and how they hatch their amazing works of art. We'll delve into it all, including music, writing, character development, movie and TV show development, cartoons, comics, comedy and just about anything else that can be created. We'll make it interactive, so that you too can share your own creative thoughts and insights. Think of it as one big Creative Community. A Creators Incubator. That said, it's time for the grand tour.
Sparks: Those things that inspire creativity. For instance, one of the most fascinating stories about the creation process of the Beatles infamous Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club album revolved around the John Lennon song, "For the Benefit of Mr. Kite". The songs lyrics came directly from a circus poster Lennon had found in an antiques store. That's a spark.
Creative tips: Like this one… Ever read billboards? Sometimes they can provide great ways to create powerful, well defined ways to communicate ideas. The key is in the simplicity and in the way one grabs your attention. Just don't drive off the road doing it.
The Rhino Recommends: Once a week the Incubator will give it's recommendation of a book, a movie, cd or blog that can offer something valuable to the creative process. Not exactly Oprah, but you get the idea.
Inside-the-Lab. We'll go behind the scenes into someone's creative process giving you some cool information about how other creative people come up with their stuff and how you might use it at work or in your daily lives.be sure to read my daily cartoons as well.
On June 29, 1964 the 1st draft of Star Trek's pilot "Cage" was released.
Readers comments, tips and insights. The interactive part of the Incubator.
Ask the Rhino. Send in your questions about creativity directly to the Rhino. He'll answer one good one a week.
There you have it. I hope you'll join us here for the Creator's Incubator starting July 1.

Jennifer Kupcho became the first player of the season eligible for the 2022 Rolex ANNIKA Major Award with her victory at the Chevron Championship at Mission Hills Country Club.
Kupcho took a six-stroke lead into the final round of the season's first major championship with a third round, 64 to match her career best on the LPGA Tour. Jessica Korda, who began the final day seven-back of the leader, mounted a Sunday charge that was punctuated by a hole-out from the rough for eagle at the par 4, third hole. But Kupcho remained steady Even when she suffered bogeys over the closing stretch, which allowed Korda to creep closer to the top of the leaderboard, Kupcho bounced-back with birdies to once again extend her lead. Kupcho held on for a two-stroke victory over Korda to become a Rolex First-Time Winner on the LPGA Tour and also a first-time major champion with her victory at Mission Hills.
"I came out just trying to shoot a couple under," Kupcho said about her game-plan on Sunday. "I had a six-stroke lead and I shot 8-under yesterday, so I figured if someone can do that, then they deserve to be in a playoff. That was my mentality and what I was fighting for all day."
With her victory, Kupcho earned 60 points to take the early lead in the Rolex ANNIKA Major Award point standings. Korda's second place finish earned her 24 points which puts her at No. 2 behind Kupcho in the standings. Pia Babnik, a high school junior and member of the Ladies European Tour, earned 18 points with her career-best third place finish on Sunday. Hinako Shibuno, Celine Boutier, Lexi Thompson and Patty Tavatanakit finished tied for fourth and each received 14 points.
Each season, the Rolex ANNIKA Major Award is presented to the player who has the most consistent record in all five major championships - the Chevron Championship, U.S. Women's Open, KPMG Women's PGA Championship, Amundi Evian Championship and AIG Women's Open. Points are awarded to players who finish within the top-10 at each of the season's majors. A player must win at least one major championship during the season in order to be eligible.
The 2022 recipient of the Rolex Annika Major Award will be recognized at the Rolex LPGA Awards at the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship in Naples, Florida. Patty Tavatanakit, winner of the 2021 Chevron Championship, was the most recent recipient of the award.

BEIJING, Sept. 14 (Xinhua) -- China has confirmed two new outbreaks of African swine fever in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and central China's Henan Province, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said Friday.
In Xilingol League of Inner Mongolia, 16 pigs on a local farm were confirmed infected and dead, while 148 pigs on a farm in the city of Xinxiang, Henan, were confirmed infected and 64 of them died, the ministry said.
The ministry said local authorities have initiated an emergency response to block, cull, and disinfect the affected pigs.
The outbreaks are now under control, said the ministry.
China reported its first case of the disease in August in the northeastern Liaoning Province, and later the outbreaks were reported in several other provinces. The ministry said earlier this month that the situation was generally under control.


From fire-snorting supercars to eco-friendly electric cars designed to save the environment, this year's Geneva Motorshow packs a punch.
YOU'LL need five houses on Mayfair and Monopoly money to afford this one-off £12million Bugatti "La Voiture Noire" (the black car). Yep, £12million, making it the most expensive new car ever. That's £2million for each tailpipe. Fancy it? Sorry, you're too late. Back in the real world, Citroen had the cheapest car on display – a 2CV jelly mould, inset, at £12.
Could Aston Martin's first mid-engined supercar take on Ferrari?
Aston's first mid-engined supercar to take on "the red team" (Ferrari). Yes, please. On sale 2022. Aston also revealed the AM-RB 003 hypercar, limited to 500 coupes. We'll have that as well. But the Lagonda All-Terrain Concept? Er, no thanks. That back end needs some Preparation H.
Watch out Fiat 500, there's a new contender for the cutesy crown. And it's electric. And it's seriously hi-tech. And it's rear-wheel drive. The whole width of the dash is made up of five screens. Ask your passenger to set the satnav and swipe it over to the screen in front of you. Yeah boi. It's also got digital door mirrors. Range: 120 miles. Price: Around £35,000. Out: December. Honda will take £500 reservations in June.
100 per cent electric, 120 per cent customisable. You can personalise everything on this car and I mean everything. Only need it to do 62 miles? Then you only need one battery. Need it to do 124 miles? Two batteries. And so on up to five batteries. You can add or remove seats, speakers, storage bins, change the colour wrap and design your own 3D-printed cup holders. Yes, it's a concept and it's all very unlikely but it means there's a new Panda coming. Hurrah.
Sad news, hot hatch fans. The 208 GTi is dead. Good news, hot hatch fans. We'll get a racy electric 208 instead. GTe, perhaps? But that's some way off. The standard 208 looks as fit as a butcher's – inside and out – and will be here in November priced from £16,000. Petrol, diesel or pure electric. Take your pick.
Fight! Fight! Fight! Who will launch their electric car first, Skoda or Seat? After the ID hatch from the VW mothership, of course. The Skoda looks rather good and has a 82kWh battery and a 300-mile range. The Seat el-Born has a 62kWh battery and will do up to 260 miles between charges. Both go on sale late next year.
This must be a world record. There are 21 iPhone-sized screens in this concept car. Twenty one. The all-electric saloon will be Kia's third EV after Niro and Soul and will be ready in 2021. Expect it to have a 300-mile range to take on Tesla and Polestar. Don't expect those 21 screens.
It's red, of course, as well as being lighter and faster than the 488 GTB it replaces. Power: 720hp, 770Nm. Acceleration: 0-124mph in 7.8 secs. Top speed: 211mph. Price: £200,000+. Raid your 50p and 20p jar.
Papa? Nicole? Thierry? I have news. There's a new Clio coming in September. It looks much the same on the outside but the interior is fresher than a fresh thing. Digital driver's display, upended iPad for the infotainment. Self-charging hybrid to follow next year.
We all work hard, so we all deserve to dream a little. This beach buggy is strictly a show car but VW is to sell its electric "skateboard" base to third parties. No doubt inspired by the Meyers Manx and all sorts of weird and wonderful things that used a Beetle chassis in the 60s and 70s.
Just to confuse everyone, the CX-30 crossover sits between the CX-3 and CX-5 but CX-4 would be too obvious. Out November priced around £23,000. Tidy. Lots of standard kit and clever high-revving petrol engine with the economy of a diesel.
Now you probably know my thoughts on the A-Class. It's very good. But I like CLA Shooting Brake even more. Same bones, same lush interior but with a bigger boot. Out September from £30,000 for the 1.4-litre auto. Merc also revealed EQV, an all-electric V-Class.
The first standalone model from Cupra – but don't bet against a milder Seat Formentor later. On sale late 2020. It's 245hp and can box off 0-62mph in five seconds, as well as running for 30 miles on pure electric. Same 1.4-litre plug-in hybrid as the Golf GTE but tightened a little. The styling hints at the new Leon coming later this year.
Put the e-tron SUV in a photocopier, reduce to 70 per cent and, voila, you have the Q4 e-tron, the smallest pure electric Audi so far. Battery: 82kWh. Range: 279 miles. Price: Around £47,000. Out: Late 2020. Verdict: There's room on my drive.

I am calling you-ooohoooh.... That song alone made me watch this movie again. It is an odd ball cast and an odd ball story, but it is worth watching.
S A A. (Learned2Heal)
Reviewed on 10/13/2008...
A fairly obscure little movie that my husband and I are oh-so-glad we found. Great acting, quirky but interesting storyline. An atmosphere that is hard to describe. We have watched it many times over and would not part with our copy for the world.
A truly fun and amusing, quirky (did I mention that already? Well, it bears repeating), feel-good movie.
Freak Shows & Oddballs That'll Touch Your Heart
Lee Armstrong | Winterville, NC United States | 06/23/2002
"Bagdad Cafe is an odd film, and I mean that as a compliment. The characters are all greatly flawed individuals who, as the film starts, are largely unhappy. CCH Pounder plays Brenda who owns the cafe. This woman could scare the hide off a cat with that shrill voice that drives her husband off to park in the desert and observe her with binoculars for the rest of the film. Jasmin, the Bavarian German who likes her coffee strong, is fat and seems to change clothes regularly despite having a suitcase supposedly filled only with men's clothes. She is not the typical Hollywood star, but she comes to win our hearts. Jack Palance as Rudy Cox, the set painter from Hollywood, lives in a trailer and sees the world through rose colored glasses. His costumes are pure Santa Monica Boulevard chic. He charms us as he falls in love. The sequence of paintings he does as Jasmin gets progressively less dressed is hysterical. The other characters are also unique. Brenda's son who also has a son, a baby, wants nothing more than to play piano all day. The daughter dresses in trendy teenage garb and seems to repeatedly run off with anything with two legs and pants. Debbie, the tatoo artist, seems like an S&M freak, and eventually leaves because "there is too much harmony." The thing I love about this film is that most all of the characters change. Jasmin's unfolding is glorious. The themes in the movie of racial misunderstanding and harmony are also interesting. Jasmin has never seen blacks and pictures herself in tribal Africa being roasted for dinner. She's amazed at how light the palms of Brenda's daughter's hand is, a simple detail but beautiful in its innocent sense of wonder. The DVD version doesn't add a tremendous amount of extras such as bonus material, but the movie itself is the reward. If you like upbeat films somewhat off the beaten track, seek out this cinematic gem."
DESERT RATS GET ACTUALIZED!
Robin Simmons | Palm Springs area, CA United States | 07/24/2001
"Filmed not too far from here in the town of Baghdad in the Mojave Desert, Percy Adlon's BAGHDAD CAFE has charmed just about everyone who has stumbled across this literally off-the-beaten track 1987 gem that's now available for the first time in a bare-bones widescreen DVD transfer. The story is deceptively simple. Marianne Sägebrecht is a German tourist who leaves -- and is subsequently abandoned by -- her husband(?) in the California desert. In the middle of nowhere, she makes her way to the run-down, failing, Baghadad Cafe and Motel run by C.C.H. Pounder (ER's Dr. Hicks). The rotund Sägebrecht quickly becomes a part of the eccentric family under Pounders tough-talking rule. Not only that, her presence is the catalyst that transforms the forgotten roadside stop into a bustling business and a life-altering experience for all present. Jack Palance is extraordinary as an ex-Hollywood set designer and artist who sees Sägebrecht's true beauty and becomes obsessed about capturing it on canvas. What he sees Sägebrecht becomes and in the process impacts those she touches. This wonderful film is about loving and accepting and believing and discovering and being. The original music by Bob Telson includes the haunting "Calling You" sung by Javetta Steele. This is one for the digital library. Highest recommendation."
Can't expain the attraction � just see it
pasnat54 | Pasadena, CA United States | 07/30/2001
"I found Bagdad Cafe on DVD three days ago and have watched it twice since, each time with a big smile on my face. It's difficult to explain why this movie is so haunting; if you try to tell a friend "You've got to see this movie because...", you'd be stuck for a definable reason. It's a very gentle character study of two women, different as can be, who come to understand and even like each other. They are both frustrated with their current positions in life. Jasmin (Marianne Sagebrecht), the stranded German tourist, is willing to start repairing her life, even in this bleak desert setting. Brenda (CCH Pounder) has led such a hard-knocks life that she can't understand or accept anyone trying to help her. There's a wonderful supporting cast surrounding them, but the heart of this movie is the way the two women learn to be friends. You're either going to love this movie or be totally bewildered by what I (and other reviewers) see in it.This movie was shot in Newberry Springs, near Barstow; the restaurant is still there (originally called Sidewinder Cafe, now renamed the Bagdad Cafe, of course). This is the favorite movie of one of my sister's friend who lives in Brazil. When this friend's daughter Paula visited recently, we stopped by the Bagdad Cafe on the way to Vegas; Paula's mom shed tears of delight when she saw pictures of her daugher making a pilgrimage to this high desert Mecca."
A sweet and suprising tale
Max235to1 | Waterford MI USA | 11/18/2001
"Possibly one of my favorite films ever made, this story of a german housewife, that leaves her husband in the Mojave Desert, end up suprising me constantly. Why?
The lead actress Marianne Sagebrecht performance as Jasmine is so full of poetry and subtle nuances in the body language that most actors often forget to use. Many times she is in a scene where she is not saying much but she doesn't have to because her lines are in the way she moves and the expressions on her face. The story is about a sleepy two building town where despair is turned on its heel by the arrival of this stranger. It's about two very different people who become friends despite the tragedys they both are facing and its about the magic we all carry inside of us to transform other around us by being our most beautiful selves. This film was followed by a television series that failed to capture what this story easily told in 90 minutes. It also has a very haunting song called "calling you" that once heard will more than likely stay in the back of your mind. Its a gem and definitely belongs in the collection of anyone who really loves what great film making is all about."
Great American Film Made by GERMANY
Movie Mania | Southern Calfornia | 12/14/2005
"Marianne Sagebrecht made a brilliant movie debut in the German film "Zuckerbaby (Sugarbaby)" (please release this soon on DVD). Bagdad Café is her American film debut. The creative team is also from "Sugarbaby", Percy and Eleonore Adlon).
Jasmine (Sagebrecht) and her husband are on a cross country trip. They are at a rest stop in the Mohave desert when they have a fight. Jasmine takes the suitcase from the trunk and walks off. Jasmine hitches a ride and which stops at the Bagdad Café and Motel.
Brenda (CCH Pounder), the hotel owner/manager, doesn't know what to make out of Jasmine. But Jasmine has the money, so Brenda rents her one of the rooms. Everyone gets along with Jamine's easy going nature, except Brenda. Eventually, even Brenda succumbs to Jasmine's charm.
This is a film about tolerance. Everyone in this film has intolerance and finds that the person beneath is more important.
Sagebrecht gives another brilliant performance. Her character grows during the course of the film.
CCH Pounder is the one of those great actresses that never gets the attention that she deserves. She gives Brenda many layers. Brenda's life has been far from easy and therefore, she is suspicious of everyone. Therefore, it takes a great actress to convincingly change from suspicious to accepting of Jasmine.
This is the best of independent film making.

Consortium Eagle Club Members Hope to Inspire Current Students to Give Back as Alumni
For the many Eagle Club members who attended The Consortium's 53rd Annual Orientation Program & Career Forum (OP), the event provided an opportunity to not only reminisce with old friends but to also give back to the organization that has done so much for them.
Converging in Houston from all over the U.S. June 8-12, this elite group of donors to The Consortium — the majority of whom are alumni of the organization — provided current Consortium fellows with mentorship during the Technology Luncheon and beyond. Eagle Club members are those who have committed $15,000 or more ($5,000 over three years) to The Consortium.
For Eagle Club member Kim Harris Jones, who sits on the board of directors for TrueBlue and United Rentals, the annual conference is an opportunity to demonstrate the power of The Consortium, its network and where it can take you as well as to inspire students to one day return the favor.
"Interacting with students at the OP is important because hopefully it demonstrates how The Consortium can contribute to their career success and sets the right example for how they can also give back in the future," said Harris Jones, who was initiated into the Eagle Club at this year's OP.
The conference caused some alumni to reminisce on their own experiences as a student at OP.
Kelly-Ann Henry, who is the enterprise fraud manager for Toyota Financial Services, was inspired by her experience. "I left OP feeling better prepared for the upcoming school year, grounded in my career aspirations and feeling like I could achieve anything," she said.
Rashid Farrell recalled how the event was both amazing and nerve-wracking. "I was in sheer awe that I was at an event with so many amazingly talented and accomplished people, and the caliber of companies that were present was just mind blowing," he said. "My exploration and networking at the 2008 OP set a foundation for what would become my Consortium network."
Farrell, who is senior HR manager at Microsoft, is the latest Consortium alum to join the Eagle Club. He played several critical roles at the 2019 OP, including as facilitator of an alumni workshop representing Microsoft.
Alumni Eagle Club members from earlier years noted how much the conference has changed since they first attended OP as students. Clarence Bourne, who attended in 1983, said that back then, students stayed in on-campus dorms instead of nearby hotels.
Beyond the accommodations, both the conference and The Consortium have changed much in size and scope over the last 35-plus years. "The conference has progressed tremendously since I attended," said Bourne, who is an investment banker at Loop Capital Markets. "I think there were only eight or nine schools in The Consortium and around 200 fellows [at that time], as opposed to 20 schools and 500 fellows today."
According to Eagle Club member and Senior Vice President of Enterprise Talent at U.S. Bank Kenneth Charles — who, although he is not an alum, has supported The Consortium for more than 20 years — some things about OP have also remained the same.
"What hasn't changed is the genius of the fellows; you can feel their energy when you enter the room," he said. "What has changed is the level of corporate support. At U.S. Bank, we have a desire that employees 'see, feel and believe' our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. That commitment was definitely in evidence among all the corporations and business schools sponsoring [OP] and higher than I've ever seen before."
No matter how the conference changes, though, Henry said "it is always an opportunity to see some familiar faces, meet new people and learn something new — no matter why you're there." She believes it's essential for current fellows to engage with and learn about the different professional paths taken by alumni.
"I think it is important for students who are entering their respective programs and for second years who are getting ready to begin their post B-school lives to hear those stories and to see those different portraits of success," Henry said.
The most impactful aspect of OP for all Eagle Club members, however, seemed to be the ability to give back to The Consortium — whether of their time or money.
"A financial contribution, if you are able, is a great place to start," said Charles. "It's equally important to invest your time. [That can be] as simple as encouraging a potential fellow to apply. Each of us can find a way to share our gifts and talents with the organization."
These Eagle Club members' hope is that they'll inspire in current students this same desire to pay it forward by giving of their time or money to The Consortium in the future. Achieving equity in the ranks of global management, Farrell said, requires the effort of all alumni.
"The network simply doesn't work without our engagement. Even with staff and leadership at the helm of The Consortium, it only works if we as alumni give to ensure that future generations have the same access and privilege that the program has enabled for each of us," Farrell said. "The needle moves when we are proactively engaging and [provide] support in these simple ways and beyond."

Consumers in India are in a view that the country is not performing well in terms of jobs. However, they do believe that the condition will improve after a year.
These revelations were made by the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI's) September round of the Consumer Confidence Survey.
The survey reflects households' perceptions and expectations on the general economic situation, the employment scenario, the overall price situation and their own income and spending. It reported that the consumers are pessimistic about the current situation.
As reported in the survey, the Consumer Confidence Index dropped to 94.8 points from 98.3 in the previous June 2018 round of the survey. However, one-year-ahead expectations of the consumers inflated to 121.1 points from 119.8 points in the June 2018 round.
The current situation index as reflected in the September 2018 reports worsening of consumers' perception in terms of general economic situation and the job scenario.
RBI conducted the survey across 13 major cities such as Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Bhopal, Chennai, Delhi, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, Patna and Thiruvananthapuram and obtained collected 5,364 responses on various issues.

The origin about deusi bhailo is not very clear. However the song indicates that it is related to king Mahabali since the lyrics include "We were sent by king Bali". Deusire can be broken down as Deu- which means give, and Sire-which means head. So Deusire means 'give head'. According to Puranas King Bali gave his own head to Vamana, the fifth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Bali was performing the ashwamedhya yajna when Vamana approaches Bali and asks for three paces of land. Bali was very popular for giving alms to any one who came to his palace. Bali agreed to fulfil his demand. To Bali's great surprise, Vamana with his two steps covered the Earth and the Universe and asked the great king where he would place his third step. Bali then offered his own head. Lord Vishnu, seeing the devotion of bali, blessed him and raised to him to Suthala, the supreme position in heaven. For Bali greatest alms charity, he gained Lord Vishnu's favour and also attained salvation. There is also a belief in the month of Kartik (the month when Baliraja donated his head) if one donates something, it will do good to the alms-giver.


The system's flexibility also means it could eventually be used in wearable electronics, robotic systems and new types of personalized cooling systems. It is the first demonstration of a solid state cooling device based on the electrocaloric effect — a phenomenon in which a material's temperature changes when an electric field is applied to it. The research was published Sept. 15 in Science.
The method devised by UCLA and SRI researchers is very energy-efficient. It uses a thin polymer film that transfers heat from the heat source (a battery or processor, typically) to a "heat sink," and alternates contact between the two by switching on and off the electric voltage. Because the polymer film is flexible, the system could be adapted for devices with complex curvature or with moving surfaces.
A major application could be in mobile and wearable electronics. As most smartphone and tablet users know, devices tend to heat up when they are used, particularly with power-intensive applications like video streaming. So although the devices are made with interior metal radiators designed to pull heat away from the battery and computer processors, they can still overheat, which can even cause them to shut down. And excessive heat can damage the devices' components over time.
"The development of practical efficient cooling systems that do not use chemical coolants that are potent greenhouse gases is becoming even more important as developing nations increase their use of air conditioning," said Roy Kornbluh, an SRI research engineer.
The UCLA–SRI system also has certain advantages over another advanced type of cooling system, called thermoelectric coolers, which require expensive ceramic materials and whose cooling capabilities don't yet measure up to vapor compression systems.
Pei said the invention's other potential applications could include being used in a flexible pad for treating injuries, or reducing thermal "noise" in thermographic cameras, which are used by scientists and firefighters, and in night-vision devices, among other uses.
The study's lead authors are UCLA postdoctoral scholar Rujun Ma and doctoral student Ziyang Zhang, both members of Pei's research group. Other authors are Kwing Tong, a UCLA graduate student; David Huber, a research engineer at SRI; and Yongho Sungtaek Ju, a UCLA professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering.
The research was supported by the Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy and by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. The researchers have submitted a U.S. patent application for the device.

Przyrząd asekuracyjny - ogólna nazwa urządzeń zwiększających siłę hamowania liny, służących do asekuracji podczas wspinaczki.
Większość przyrządów asekuracyjnych spełnia też funkcje przyrządów zjazdowych. Przyrządy przeznaczone zarówno do asekuracji jak i zjazdu nazywane są także przyrządami asekuracyjno-zjazdowymi.

Przyrząd asekuracyjny pozwala na utrzymanie (tzw. zablokowanie) liny asekuracyjnej, nawet jeśli jej drugi koniec został obciążony siłą o wartości zbyt dużej, by możliwe było utrzymanie liny bezpośrednio w dłoni. Oprócz zablokowania liny, przyrząd taki powinien pozwalać na bezpieczne i wygodne wydawanie luzu (zwiększanie czynnego odcinka liny asekuracyjnej) oraz wybieranie liny (przeciwieństwo wydawania luzu).

Zasada działania
Z technicznego punktu widzenia, przyrząd asekuracyjny jest szczególnym przypadkiem hamulca taśmowego. Przyjmuje się, że przeciętny człowiek może utrzymać jedną dłonią przeciętną linę wspinaczkową obciążoną siłą 20 daN. Wielkość siły ścisku dłoni zależy oczywiście od grubości i rodzaju liny i indywidualnych predyspozycji asekurującego i u wytrenowanych wspinaczy przekracza ciężar ich ciała. Najprostszą metodą zwiększenia siły hamowania dłoni jest założenie odpowiednich rękawic. Wartości sił, które mogą zadziałać na linę asekuracyjną, są jednak na tyle duże, że zachodzi ryzyko wyrwania liny z dłoni asekurującego - co pozbawiłoby wspinacza asekuracji. Podczas powstrzymywania odpadnięcia, na linie mogą pojawić się siły rzędu 1200 daN. Przyrządy asekuracyjne pozwalają na kontrolowane zablokowanie liny obciążonej taką siłą, pełnią zatem rolę mechanicznych hamulców, zwielokrotniających siłę hamowania dłoni człowieka.

Rodzaje
Rolę przyrządu asekuracyjnego może pełnić owinięcie liny wokół bloku skalnego, grubego drzewa, czy w przypadku asekuracji "z ciała" wokół ciała asekurującego. Współcześnie ta metoda jest rzadko stosowana.

Popularnym i prostym przyrządem asekuracyjnym jest półwyblinka – specjalny węzeł, wiązany wokół wpiętego w uprząż lub stanowisko, zabezpieczonego karabinka. Półwyblinka zapewnia 15 - 20 krotne zwiększenie siły hamowania dłoni. Jej zaletą jest minimalizacja wymagań w stosunku do posiadanego i transportowanego sprzętu wspinaczkowego - do jej wykonania nie są potrzebne żadne dodatkowe elementy oprócz karabinka i samej liny. Z tego względu, półwyblinka może pełnić rolę rezerwowego sposobu asekuracji - np. w razie zgubienia normalnie używanego przyrządu. Wadą stosowania półwyblinki jest znaczne skręcanie się (i w konsekwencji plątanie) liny.

Inne przyrządy asekuracyjne:
 Ósemka - jeden z najstarszych przyrządów asekuracyjnych. Z uwagi na małą siłę hamowania obecni używana jest głównie do zjazdów lub w warunkach zimowych na oblodzonych linach, gdy użycie innego przyrządu nie jest możliwe.
 Płytka Stichta - pierwowzór kubka wspinaczkowego. Prosta w obsłudze i zapewniająca duża siłę hamowania.
 Kubek - ulepszona wersja płytki Stichta. Lepiej odprowadza ciepło i ma większą siłę hamowania.
 Reverso - zapewnia dobre hamowanie, może działać jako przyrząd samozaciskowy przy asekuracji z górnego stanowiska.
 ATC Guide - przyrząd o zastosowaniach zbliżonych do reverso.
 Płytka przewodnicka (nazwy handlowe: Gi-gi, New Alp) - lekki, bardzo uniwersalny przyrząd który może być używany do asekuracji z górnego stanowiska.

Automatyczne przyrządy asekuracyjne:
 gri-gri (najpopularniejszy przyrząd i często synonim tego typu przyrządu)
 Single Rope Controller

Business leader and entrepreneur Daymond John will receive the ISPA Alex Szekely Humanitarian Award at the 2018 ISPA Conference & Expo this fall.
The award honors individuals who contribute to the overall well-being of others and encourage the renewal of mind, body and spirit.
Since his first forays into business during the early 1990s, John has been an advocate for improving the lives of others through socially conscious entrepreneurship. In 1992, John founded FUBU, an iconic fashion brand created to target African-American consumers ignored by traditional fashion brands. Since 1992, the company has earned over $6 billion dollars.
In 2009, John became a cast member on ABC's Shark Tank, where he listens to business pitches from aspiring entrepreneurs, offers feedback and invests his own money to help these entrepreneurs turn their dreams into reality. Among the companies that Daymond has invested in is Bombas, a sock manufacturer who donates a pair of socks for every pair sold.
John's books and inspirational speeches have helped countless entrepreneurs and everyday people improve their lives and careers. He recently built a 17,000-sq-ft creative incubator and workspace, Blueprint + co, to continue helping aspiring business leaders accomplish their dreams.
"Through his business successes and philanthropic efforts, Daymond has positively changed countless lives," said ISPA President Lynne McNees, adding that John "embodies the spirit of giving" that defines the spa industry.
Initially named the ISPA Humanitarian Award, it was renamed in 2002 to honor spa industry pioneer Alex Szekely. Winners are voted on by the ISPA Board of Directors. Previous winners have included Dr. Maya Angelou, Sir Sidney Poitier and Peyton Manning, who received the award last year.

Odilândia é um distrito do município de Santa Rita, no estado brasileiro da Paraíba. A localidade, que tem em torno de 7.500 habitantes, situa-se num platô da bacia do rio Mumbaba e dista 18 km da sede do município, percurso ligado pela  rodovia estadual PB-016, pavimentada.
Economicamente, o distrito é rico em fontes de água mineral e na produção de produtos agrícolas, como cana-de-açúcar, milho, mandioca e frutas, sobretudo abacaxi.

Mesmo com toda sua riqueza aquífera, o pequeno distrito sofre com a falta de abastecimento de água, visto que os habitantes buscam seus próprios galões numa caixa-d'água central onde se utilizam de apenas quatro torneiras para encherem seus galões, baldes, garrafões etc. Além disso, o distrito tem pouquíssimas ruas asfaltadas, sendo em sua maioria de areia fofa típica de tabuleiros.

Etimologicamente, Odilândia provém da junção do nome próprio «Odilon» mais o sufixo «lândia», aportuguesamento do inglês land, que significa «terra, região».

Liv gets vulnerable and discusses her unhealthy boundaries, losing her virginity, and all the anxiety that comes with it.
I have always and continue to struggle with setting healthy boundaries. Boundaries are so important to healthy relationships of all kinds, yet no one teaches us how to do this stuff. In fact, societal norms typically set us up for failure.
I get vulnerable with you guys to talk about this topic not only because it's so important, but also because it's a personal challenge that requires a lot of work to overcome. Just because I'm here sharing what I know which doesn't mean I know everything. FAR FROM IT!
Whether you're unsure if you set healthy boundaries or know where you stand, I hope my openness in this episode inspires you to tackle some of your toughest challenges with hope and a whole lotta spine. Together, we can do anything.
You're welcome. Thank you for being a SAM listener.
My pleasure. Thanks for listening!
