Subtype-selective cholecystokinin receptor antagonists block cholecystokinin modulation of dopamine-mediated behaviors in the rat mesolimbic pathway
Jacqueline Crawley
Subtype-selective antagonists of the peripheral-type (CCK-A) and the central-type (CCK-B) cholecystokinin (CCK) receptors were employed to determine the receptor subtype(s) mediating the modulatory actions of CCK on dopamine-induced changes in exploratory activity at three sites in the mesolimbic pathway of the rat. The CCK-A antagonist L-364,718 (10 ng) blocked CCK potentiation of dopamine-induced hyperlocomotion in the medial posterior nucleus accumbens. The CCK-B antagonist CI-988 (20 ng) blocked CCK inhibition of dopamine-induced hyperlocomotion in the anterior nucleus accumbens. The CCK-B antagonists CI-988 (20 ng) and L-365,260 (10 ng) blocked CCK potentiation of dopamine-induced hypolocomotion in the ventral tegmental area. These data indicate a CCK-B pharmacology in the cell body and anterior terminal field, and a CCK-A pharmacology in the posterior terminal field, of the mesolimbic dopamine pathway. Behavioral analyses using the selective CCK antagonists did not detect a contribution of endogenous CCK to exploratory locomotion. L-364,718 (10 ng), L-365,260 (10 ng), and CI-988 (20 ng or 2 μg), microinjected into the medial posterior nucleus accumbens, anterior nucleus accumbens, or ventral tegmental area, had no effect on baseline exploratory locomotion or on dopamine-induced changes in exploratory locomotion. Using a dark-induced hyperlocomotion paradigm, the CCK antagonists at these doses at these sites and intraperitoneally had no effect on the high levels of exploratory locomotor activity exhibited by the rats in the dark testing environment, or the lower levels of exploratory activity in the lighted environment. Endogenous CCK may not be released during dopamine- induced hyperlocomotion or dark-induced hyperlocomotion, or endogenous CCK may not contribute significantly to exploratory behaviors mediated through the mesolimbic dopamine pathway. Utilization of these potent, selective, nonpeptide CCK antagonists, with the doses, vehicles, and routes of administration developed in the present studies, will guide further investigations into the role of endogenous CCK in other facets of mesolimbic function.

Trademark 101: How To Protect Your Business
Tia Jackson
You worked hard to come up with your business idea. You picked your brand name. You incorporated your company. And, you're ready to take over the world. But wait– If you forgot to trademark your business you've put yourself in a very vulnerable position. At any moment someone can swoop in and take your name, your brand identity and everything you worked hard to create.
BrandMakerNews caught up with trademark attorney, Venus Griffith Trunnel to get all the information you need to trademark your business and protect your brand. Mrs. Trunnel, a former Trademark Examiner with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, now specializes in domestic and international trademark prosecution and enforcement at Ivie, McNeil & Wyatt law firm. With the expert advice she shares below, you'll spend more time growing your business, instead of fighting to protect it.
Trademark 101: The Answers You Need to Protect Your Business…
1. What are the benefits of registering a trademark?
There are many benefits to registering a trademark. First, a Federal trademark registration carries a presumption of ownership and validity of the trademark during the first five (5) years of registration. Second, a registration can be used offensively to prevent others from adopting and using confusingly similar marks. Companies looking to register their trademarks routinely check the USPTO database for confusingly similar trademark applications and registrations and make decisions to adopt and use new marks based on the information in the database. Third, the ® is constructive notice to third parties of your trademark rights. Fourth, a trademark registration gives the owner nationwide rights in the trademark as of the date of filing the application. Fifth, after five (5) years of securing a trademark registration and continuous use of the trademark in commerce, the owner can file an affidavit of incontestability, and the registration becomes conclusive evidence of ownership and validity of the mark. This incontestable status is recognized in Federal courts in the event the owner sues for trademark infringement. Finally, a registration is a valuable commodity and can be the basis of a license to use the mark by third parties.
2. At what point should entrepreneurs consider getting a trademark for their businesses?
As soon as possible. Entrepreneurs should carefully select trademarks for their businesses. Trademarks identify the source of goods and services and represent the goodwill and quality of the goods and services. Although the cost of getting a Federal trademark is relatively inexpensive, the costs to defend a trademark infringement lawsuit or to select a new trademark after making a substantial investment in a new product or service can be quite costly. It is better to identify several potential trademarks, order a search report from a reputable search company and then have a qualified attorney assess the risks associated with each potential trademark. Entrepreneurs can file an Intent-to-Use trademark application which preserves their rights in the mark as of the filing date of the application.
3. Is it mandatory for entrepreneurs to trademark their business name?
Although it is not mandatory for entrepreneurs to trademark their business name, there are instances where the business name, (aka "trade name") should also be trademarked. Where the trademark and the trade name are synonymous, then entrepreneurs are recommended to trademark their business name. A trade name is the company's corporate name or the name under which it does business and may or may not be the trademark used for the goods or services offered by the company.
4. What obstacles may entrepreneurs face down the road if they choose not to trademark their business name or logo?
If entrepreneurs choose not to trademark their name and logo; they risk others adopting and using similar trademarks and logos; they risk losing the presumptions of ownership and validity a trademark registration provides; they risk loss of nationwide rights to the mark and being limited to the area where they do the most business; and they do not have the right to use the ® symbol.
5. What's the difference between getting a copyright or a trademark? And, how can entrepreneurs determine which one is best for their business?
Copyrights and Trademarks protect different rights. A copyright protects the original "expressions" of an idea in a tangible medium such as a book or sculpture or song; whereas trademarks are used in connection with a good or service to identify the source of the same. For example, "ABC Movie Studio" makes feature films for children. ABC Movie Studio would file a copyright application to protect the individual feature films. The Studio would file a trademark application for their name "ABC Movie Studio" to identify the source of those feature films.
6. What can small business owners do if they find out someone else is using their brand name or likeness without permission?
Business owners should seek the services of a trademark attorney for consultation if someone is using their brand name or likeness without permission. An attorney is likely to send a cease and desist letter to the offending business to inform them of your rights and request that they stop such use. An attorney may also file an opposition to a trademark application, if necessary and/or file an action in court to stop any infringing uses.

Roy Cooper starts his tack back to the middle. Can he handle the heat?
Get ready for a new version of Roy Cooper.
The North Carolina governor appears to be moving back toward the political middle as he heads into what's expected to be a bruising re-election campaign. Now we'll see how Cooper handles backlash from his own party.
The evidence? Gov. Cooper decision this week to rescind the appointment of sharp-tongued Charlotte city councilwoman LaWana Mayfield to the state Human Relations Committee. He quickly faced criticism, primarily from Republicans, who cited anti-police comments Mayfield made on social media a year ago. She had referred to police officers as "home-grown terrorists." Mayfield has also expressed her doubts about the 9/11 attacks.
The decision reflects the tricky balancing act that statewide Democrats must play.
Cooper campaigned in 2016 as a relatively centrist, small-town law-and-order Democrat — and he's likely to do so again in the current election cycle. It's historically been a winning formula for statewide Democrats, from former Gov. Mike Easley to Attorney General Josh Stein.
However, Cooper's party has continued to barrel steadily leftward. Democratic challengers to the General Assembly ousted several moderate members of their party in last year's primary, and the "resistance" movement against President Donald Trump has trickled down into the DNA of state politics, as well.
Minority groups and LGBT advocates are also key components of the base. And it's this faction of the party — a large percentage of the primary electorate — that wanted Cooper to stand tough against Mayfield's critics.
These groups hold much less sway in statewide general elections, where winning candidates must tap into a conservative-leaning unaffiliated voter base.
Cooper has used this calculus several times. Soon after his inauguration, he struck a deal with the General Assembly to repeal HB2, the law that required transgender people to use the bathroom of their gender identity in public buildings.
But this deal brought things back to the status quo rather than strengthening LGBT protections, as many Democrats had wanted.
Cooper doesn't need liberal bona fides. Does he?
Cooper was able to excite liberal voters in 2016 by contrasting himself from former Gov. Pat McCrory, particularly on HB2. He earned a ringing endorsement from groups like the Human Rights Coalition and Equality NC.
It's a lot harder to campaign based on an actual record, and a lot harder to excite the base.
The lesson of McCrory could be illustrative. He lost by just 10,000 votes after underperforming in the Lake Norman area, where he alienated deep-red voters for his inability to cancel a toll lane deal on I-77.
There isn't a strong enough primary challenger to threaten Cooper in 2020. But will positions like the one on Mayfield be enough to keep Democratic voters at home?
In a purple state like North Carolina, even small factors like this can make a difference.

Canadian artist's latest single drops.
Shawn Mendes fans have been tweeting like crazy for the last few days, hoping to bump up the release date of the singer's latest single, "Something Big." Well, all of that hard work has finally paid off.
Just before midnight tonight (November 6) the former Vine star's newest single went wide on iTunes.
Fans got a few early previews of the upbeat track, in which the lyrics seem to tell the tale of Mendes' skyrocketing success.
"It's like that feeling when you're about to win the medal, and you worked so hard that you knew you wouldn't settle," the 16 year-old Canadian sings. "When they hear you and you thought they wouldn't listen, it's like an anthem that the whole world's singin."

You are here : Version Anglaise > News & About > The Université de Lyon, committed to the energy and ecological t
The Université de Lyon and its member institutions, in partnership with Crous de Lyon and with the support of the Caisse des Dépôts, have made a collective commitment to the successful energy and ecological transition of the Lyon Saint-Étienne university site, and are rallying together to reduce the site's environmental impact.
The site comprises around 500 buildings over 1.4 million square meters and accommodates nearly 150,000 people, including students, teachers, research lecturers and staff.
The university's transition, in light of its heating and electricity requirements, the travel it brings about and the waste it creates, is an important part of the region's fight against climate change.
Through its real estate strategy, which has been particularly implemented as part of Lyon Cité Campus and the State-Region Planning Contract (CPER - Contrat de plan État-Région) which has made an unparalleled investment in the energy and ecological transition, the Université de Lyon has already proven itself to be a key actor in the region's energy transition.

Cuomo campaign rents email list to book publisher
Analyst says because HarperCollins paid for list, use is aboveboard
Casey Seiler
Oct. 21, 2014 Updated: Oct. 21, 2014 9:09 p.m.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo's re-election campaign rented its email list — containing contacts for Cuomo supporters as well as at least a few people who signed up for long-ago gubernatorial events — to HarperCollins, the publisher of his new memoir "All Things Possible: Setbacks and Success in Politics and Life."
"In a series of compelling, behind-the-scenes stories, he recounts his dramatic personal and political setbacks, how he overcame them when he was written off," the promotional blast reads, "and reveals what he's learned about effective political leadership that enabled him to enact marriage equality, gun safety, and balanced budgets."
The email, zapped out Tuesday morning, included links to the bookselling sites Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books a Million and Idiebound as well as HarperCollins' own portal.
HarperCollins publicist Tina Andreadis said in an email that the publisher "did rent a list from Gov. Cuomo's campaign for one-time use." She said the company paid "market value."
Bill Mahoney, a campaign finance analyst at the state Public Interest Research Group, received the email via an account he used to sign up for Gov. Eliot Spitzer's 2007 inaugural open house at the Executive Mansion on behalf of a colleague.
Election law prohibits the use of campaign resources for personal gain; Mahoney said the fact that HarperCollins paid for the list seemed to alleviate that ethical concern, though he added that it would be beneficial to know how much was paid to the campaign for the list, and whether it would be similarly available for any other commercial purposes.
Cuomo campaign spokesman Matt Wing did not respond to an email inquiring about the fee, and whether the list had been rented out before.
Cuomo was paid $188,000 by HarperCollins in 2013, according to tax returns. He has refused to disclose additional details about his deal with the publisher, an arm of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.
Cuomo isn't the only current or former gubernatorial candidate selling a book this fall: Cuomo's Democratic primary opponent Zephyr Teachout's tour for "Corruption in America: From Benjamin Franklin's Snuff Box to Citizens United" is promoted on the website for the Teachout-Wu campaign.
Michael Murphy, a consultant for the campaign, said that the website hadn't incurred any maintenance costs since the primary.
Teachout is creating a new "social welfare" nonprofit, the Washington Park Group, to further the goals of her progressive agenda.

Hindu religious and spiritual leaders who spoke at a rally announced a programme to fight terrorism but also said that there was no such thing as Hindu terrorism, reports Sweta Ramanujan-Dixit.
Hindu religious and spiritual leaders who spoke at a rally on Thursday announced a programme to fight terrorism but also said that there was no such thing as Hindu terrorism.
Community and religious leaders such as Sadhvi Ritambara, Pravin Togadia and Asaram Bapu sympathised with Sadhvi Pragya Thakur, an accused in the Malegaon blast case.
The rally, called Sankalp Sabha, was organised by Hindu Dharma Raksha Manch, a body of representatives of Hindu religious institutions from across the country at Sion on Thursday.
The religious leaders announced that a countrywide campaign will be undertaken between February 20 and March 20 to "awaken the Hindus to fight against terror''.
Togadia alleged that the madrasas were imparting Jihadi training and hence they should shut down. He also said that the terror attacks would continue till the terrorists get local support.
While the leaders denounced the terrorism, they were pretty sympathetic of Sadhvi Pragya.
Asaram Bapu said he would stage agitation if Sadhvi Pragya was troubled by the police while Sadhvi Ritambara said that Sadhvi Pragya was a victim of propoganda. She added that Hindus retaliate only when attacked.
Ironically, on Wednesday, the Dharma Raksha Manch had appealed to Muslim religious heads to isolate those who perpetrate terror in the name of Islam. The two-day convention ended on Thursday.

Was depleted uranium used in Afghanistan?
Council of European Union: No DU was used in Afghanistan On April 9, 2002, Spanish Minister of Defence (and President-in-Office of the Council of the European Union) Federicio Trillo-Figueroa stated in an answer to a question by MEP Paul Lannoye (Greens) that no depleted uranium was used in Afghanistan.
When were depleted uranium rounds first used?
Did US use depleted uranium in Iraq?
How much depleted uranium was used in Iraq?
How long would it take for the amount of U-235 to reach 1/4 of its initial amount?
How much does yellow cake uranium cost?
Are peanuts radioactive?
How long does it take for depleted uranium to be safe?
Uranium undergoes radioactive decay very slowly. The half-life for U238 is 4.5 billion years. After one half-life, a container that originally held 10,000 kg of pure U238 would be reduced to 5,000 kg of U238, along with approximately 5,000 kg of associated daughter products.
The U.S. defense industry began using depleted uranium in 1977, but armaments enhanced with depleted uranium were not deployed in combat until the Persian Gulf War in 1991. They were subsequently used in interventions in the Bosnia and Kosovo conflicts, the Afghanistan War, and the Iraq War.
Is depleted uranium still used in the military?
First deployed on a large scale during the Gulf War, the U.S. military uses depleted uranium (DU) for tank armor and some bullets due to its high density, helping it to penetrate enemy armored vehicles.
The US military first deployed depleted uranium (DU) weapons in Iraq during the Gulf War in 1990 and in the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
How long does uranium 235 take to decay?
700 million years
Though uranium is highly associated with radioactivity, its rate of decay is so low that this element is actually not one of the more radioactive ones out there. Uranium-238 has a half-life of an incredible 4.5 billion years. Uranium-235 has a half-life of just over 700 million years.
between 1,000 and 2,000 tonnes
In a three-week period of conflict in Iraq during 2003, it was estimated that between 1,000 and 2,000 tonnes of depleted uranium munitions were used. More than 300,000 DU rounds were fired during the 2003 war, the vast majority by US troops.
Does Russia use depleted uranium?
Russia is arming its tanks with controversial depleted uranium shells. While depleted uranium, or DU, is extremely dense and can punch through thick tank armor, many believe that these shells release small doses of radiation, like miniature neutron bombs. The U.S. has used DU shells in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria.
It will take another 703 million years for the sample to reach 1/4 of its original size, another 703 million years before it reaches 1/8 of the original size, and so on…
Can you touch uranium-235?
Because uranium decays by alpha particles, external exposure to uranium is not as dangerous as exposure to other radioactive elements because the skin will block the alpha particles. Ingestion of high concentrations of uranium, however, can cause severe health effects, such as cancer of the bone or liver.
US$47.58/lb
According to a press-release, Yellow Cake will purchase approximately 1 million lb of U3O8 from Kazakhstan's Kazatomprom, the world's largest uranium producer, at a price of US$47.58/lb.
How do half lives work?
What is the half-life of a Drug? The half-life of a drug is an estimate of the time it takes for the concentration or amount in the body of that drug to be reduced by exactly one-half (50%). The symbol for half-life is t½.
Peanut butter releases 0.12 pCi/gram of radiation from radioactive potassium-40, radium-226, and radium-228.
What is the longest half-life?
The half-life of xenon-124 — that is, the average time required for a group of xenon-124 atoms to diminish by half — is about 18 sextillion years (1.8 x 10^22 years), roughly 1 trillion times the current age of the universe. This marks the single longest half-life ever directly measured in a lab, Wittweg added.

Fleet Street Press
May 1, 2013 by indiecafes2013
The sign outside Fleet Street Press declares: We maintain barrista-client confidentiality. Once upon a time, Fleet Streets bars and cafes would have hummed to the sound off-the-record conversations of journalists. But the press has long left Fleet Street to the lawyers of the Royal Courts of Justice across the road and, judging by the number of coloured highlighter pens on the table next to me, students from Kings College.
But don't let that put you off.
Fleet Street Press is a curious combination of cool café (the 'bilingual' menu offers flat whites as well as lattes) and … how can I put this … Well, it serves coffee in those huge paper cups that are synonymous with the big franchise chains.
The place is run by Andy, who describes himself as a disillusioned Starbucks manager, and Dave, who looks every inch the hipster barrista, which explains everything.
"If we can tempt people in with one of these," says Andy, indicating the tall cups, "maybe we can re-educate them onto the smaller coffees."
It is also very popular with Italian tourists who wouldn't dream of going anywhere near the franchisees on the Strand, Andy says with more than a hint of pride.
Fleet Street Press was called Get Coffee until earlier this year and the re-brand is reinforced by an exhibition of press photos by the appropriately named Fleet Street Photo Exhibition a collection of 50 images from photographers working for the national papers, international wire agencies and local papers around the UK.
The group hopes to show that press photographers are not paparazzi. "We witness history and we are the eyes of the British public who rely on us to bring the news," says award winning photojournalist Edmond Terakopian on his blog about the exhibition.
The images are sale for about £150 – which isn't a bad price for a photo these days. And Andy says he hopes the exhibition will be a long-term project with pictures changing over time.
That alone makes it a good cafe by Cafés That Are Not Franchises standards. Add a basic selection of sandwiches, panini and cakes and a very friendly atmosphere and this is definitely a place to check out.

In Defence of Brussels Sprouts – Erika Brown R.D.
Brussels sprouts are that innocent little vegetable that many people (not just kids) love to hate. That's why most people smother them in butter, suffocate them in bacon or bury them deep at the bottom of a creamy casserole. But I, for one, think it's time someone took the side of these delicious bites of goodness.
While it's true that Brussels sprouts have a reputation for being a bit of a bitter Betty, that mostly comes from overcooking. Properly cooked sprouts have a delicious, nutty flavour that doesn't need a ton of add-ons. Beyond that, this delightful little cabbage packs a powerful nutritional punch. Brussels sprouts contain significant amounts of antioxidants, beta-carotene (vitamin A), vitamin K, folate and dietary fibre. Small but mighty, just 4 Brussels sprouts contain 110% of our daily vitamin C needs!
Even more brag-worthy: research suggests that a high intake of Brussels sprouts (along with its cruciferous cousins bok choy, broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower) may help protect against breast, lung, prostate and colorectal cancers. Even more proof that good things come in small packages!
Although they're available most of the year, Brussels sprouts are in season from September to November and this is when they typically taste the best. They are either sold loose or still attached to their thick, woody stalk. If on a stalk, simply pop the sprouts off before trimming. Choose bright green, evenly shaped sprouts that are 1 to 1 ½ inches in diameter and avoid puffy looking sprouts with black spots or yellow leaves.
Store unwashed Brussels sprouts in a plastic bag in the fridge. Sprouts will last for a few weeks. For best flavour, try to cook them as soon as possible. Don't wash the sprouts until just before using to prevent mould growth.
Just before cooking, rinse Brussels sprouts with cold water and pat dry. Remove damaged and discoloured outer leaves. Trim off the hard stems but be sure to avoid cutting the base of leaves or the Brussels sprouts will come apart during cooking (unless that's what you're going for). Scoring a shallow "x" in the base of the sprouts will help them cook quickly and evenly.
The number one rule for delicious Brussels sprouts: do not overcook! Other than that, you really can't go wrong. Try them steamed, sautéed or even microwaved. My two favourite ways are roasted and raw, shaved thin in salads. Roasting brings out the sweet, nutty flavours, with an added bonus of leaving behind some deliciously crispy leaves to snack on.
If you're looking for a new way to spice up your Brussels sprouts this year, try my favourite recipe Maple-Glazed Brussels Sprouts and let me know what you think!

In the last many years, we now have observed the way the healthcare business offers boomed. Work possibilities with regard to healthcare experts, particularly healthcare professionals, happen to be available remaining as well as correct. These were therefore sought after worldwide that many individuals, particularly those people who are getting into the actual college, chose to occupy programs associated with healthcare.
Medical, the same as additional healthcare professions, is really a really respectable occupation. This enables you to help to make other's life much better and much more comfy. Sometimes, additionally you obtain the opportunity to conserve all of them through impending threat. Aside from this particular, medical has got the capacity to impact as well as instil alter within somebody's existence. Using the encounter you receive through looking after really sick as well as fatal sufferers, you're able to worth existence much more, the training that you will get to understand as well as tell other people.
Nevertheless, being a health professional typically takes period. Regardless of exactly how enthusiastic you're within looking after others as well as producing their own life much better, a person nevertheless have to go through instruction as well as go to talks to ensure you're well-equipped as well as well-versed within dealing with sufferers and various health conditions.
Usually, medical is really a 4-year program. However the road to being a health professional does not really cease presently there. A person nevertheless have to move the actual panel evaluation to become certified health professional. As a whole, you need to withstand 5 many years associated with education as well as critiquing before you exercise your own enthusiasm (that is actually should you may move the actual panel correct away).
Fortunately, you will find currently establishments providing faster medical programs nowadays. These people realize that many people are simply as well wanting to assist other people they cannot wait around which lengthy. Rather than the typical 4-year remain in the actual college, college students that currently maintain a diploma are now able to complete their own Bachelor's associated with Technology within Medical or even BSN level in only annually. Picture time that you could conserve. You should use this time around to assist other people as well as really make a difference within their life.
Naturally, a few may have the sceptical considering in the direction of this particular plan because they come to mind which private hospitals or even treatment centers will not employ all of them because they just analyzed for any 12 months. Nevertheless, there's nothing in order to stress about since the work perspective with regard to healthcare professionals continues to be powerful as well as good. Like a issue associated with truth, the actual Agency associated with Work Data forecasts which through 2018, private hospitals, treatment centers, along with other healthcare companies is going to be looking for close to 580, 000 brand new as well as alternative authorized healthcare professionals.

Copper in transformers
Copper is the material of choice for power transformer conductors due to its superior short-circuit withstand capabilities
Basic physics
It is a basic principle of electromagnetic induction that an electric current flows in a closed coil placed within a varying magnetic field. This current produces a secondary magnetic field in its own turn. The two magnetic fields repel each other and consequently the conductors in the coil experience a force that is proportional to the product of the two field strengths.
In a transformer, the principal magnetic field is itself set up by the flow of current in the primary coil. The secondary current, and therefore the secondary magnetic field, is proportional to the primary current. Therefore the forces mutually experienced by the coils are proportional to the square of either current. This means that under short-circuit conditions, the forces experienced by the windings are two orders of magnitude higher than at rated currents.
In core type transformers, these forces act radially, tending to compress a coil and reduce its axial length. In shell type constructions the forces act at a perpendicular to the coil surface and tend to reduce its radial width.
Failure modes
If a power transformer is not designed and built properly, external short-circuits can cause significant weakening of its active parts, thus reducing its reliability, even if there is no immediate internal breakdown. Conductors can displace and stretch, coils can distort, bulge, buckle, telescope, tilt or rupture leading to broken insulation and thus to inter-turn short-circuits. Mechanical failures of the insulation can occur due to motion between conductors and spacers. Winding end supports can collapse.
Design and manufacturing practice
Of the many elements that go into the design and manufacture of power transformers in order to improve their short-circuit withstand capabilities, the choice of conductor material is the most important, as its mechanical properties, such as yield strength and modulus of elasticity, are critical to performance.
For this reason, good design practices, such as those of ABB, use copper with a minimum yield strength of 90 N/mm2 at 0.2% offset (in other words it would require a stress greater than 90 N/mm2 to cause a permanent strain of 0.2%). This figure goes as high as 280 N/mm2 and beyond for heavy-duty transformers with frequent short-circuits such as those used for arc furnaces. The use of the right grade of copper is considered by good designers as the best way of ensuring high short-circuit withstand capability in power transformers.

It's torture to love you!!!
I agree Heidi! Stache/no stache, normal 6'1 build or Superman build I could look at that face all day! what a handsome gent!


This year, students will have the opportunity to submit all playing/performance evaluations on eCampus.
This will help us conserve valuable class time by not testing scales in class.
Students who submit a recording on eCampus will receive direct feedback on whether they passed/failed and what they need to do differently if they need to resubmit the assignment.
If you don't have a recording devise at home, we have school iPads that can be used to submit any assignment. Students can come in during the mornings, after school, their lunch period, or can ask to use class time to submit a recording to complete the assignment.
2nd Class Assignment (F Scale):Please make sure to practice the F Scale (All-State Pattern)! The assignment can be completed by recording yourself and submitting a recording online on eCampus.Students who submit a recording by the end of the weekend (9/2/18) will not be tested in class on Tuesday/Wednesday of next week.
Information regarding the upcoming Lyman High School Marching Band Night, which involves a performance by our 7th and 8th grade Symphonic and Concert Band students!
The date is set for FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7th, 2018 @ Lyman High School. This is a performance for all 7th and 8th grade band 2 and 3 students – we are looking forward to having an FULL and incredible turnout from all band members, just like last year, for a night of FUN, CRAZINESS, and FOOTBALL!
We are looking forward to performing "Land of 1000 Dances" with the Lyman High School Marching Band. Our band students will receive a preview of the high school band experience, a brief lesson how marching band works, and will get to view Lyman's marching show this year. It's a great event and tradition that helps students set their eyes on the future and what music holds for them!
Students will wear their Green Milwee T-Shirt, Jeans, and Sneakers!
Drop off is at Lyman High School is between 5 and 5:30pm outside the auditorium. We will take attendance and make sure everyone has their instrument at 5:45pm.
Pick up can either be after the halftime show, around 8:30pm, or at the end of the game, about 9:30. Pickup should be no later than 10pm for all students. Students must check out with their assigned chaperon before they leave -- please do not pick up your student and "go" so we can keep accurate account of all students. Pick up will be in the auditorium, where drop off was.
The permission form can be found by clicking on "FORMS/HANDBOOK" above.
That's it for this week! Thank you band for all you do!!!
Thank you to the many of you who already picked up an instrument to use over summer! We still have LOTS of F horns, euphoniums, tubas that can be checked out (enough for each student on that instrument!). We are running limited on woodwind instruments at this point but we have a few left.
For your convenience, I have attached the Summer Rental Form that needs to be filled out by each family to check an instrument out over summer. You can download, fill out, and scan it back to me – just leave the bottom part blank, I'll fill it out when you pick up the instrument.
PERCUSSION! The school Xylophones and Marimba's are available to take home over summer to practice. Please email me to schedule a time to pick up a school instrument if you plan on working for ALL STATE and need one of those larger instruments to use.
Lastly! Summer Band camp is upon us! We still have space available for every instrument. Everyone in band at Milwee is qualified to take the "Advanced" (also called "Concert") band class at the camp. We are extending the registration deadline all the way up until camp, however, if you want us to order you the official camp t-shirt, you MUST be registered by May 28th!
Thank you again, have a great summer everyone!
Thank you for your support at our Spring Concert last week. We are SOOO thrilled with how much growth was on display Wednesday night, and how well we performed! BRAVO STUDENTS for working so hard to put on a great show!
Tonight, we will be having our Annual General Band Booster Meeting tonight to elect officers for the 2018-2019 school year. The meeting will start at 6:30 in the band room and will be less than an hour. Other topics will include filling up our standing and ad-hoc committees for next year (We need lots of help, Many Hands make light work). If you can not attend and would like to be involved to help next year, please email me and I will help connect you to this AWESOME group of parents!!!
One is a general info letter with details for Saturday (report times, what to wear, expectations, bringing money).
The second is a Field Trip Medical Information form that needs to be filled out and returned by Saturday morning. Thank you for taking a few minutes to complete the form; you may email me your completed digital copy of the form if this is easier than having your student turn it in at school.
Stay tuned for more updates on end of the year procedures and summer instrument rental! Also don't forget to sign up for Summer Band Camp!!!
This is our BIG CONCERT WEEK! Join us on Wednesday, May 9th at 6:30pm in the Lyman HS Auditorium for a gathering of all our bands in celebration of this school year!
Report time for all students is between 5:30 and 6pm. Jazz Band and Beginner Band members will find their spot on stage, Concert Band and Symphonic Band members will be sitting in the audience with their parents upon arrival. Come fully dressed and please leave your instrument case in the car!
Beginning Band! Please don't forget a folding wire music stand for your portion of the concert: we don't have enough stands for everyone in your band. Thanks for your help in bringing your own stand!
Don't forget that after the concert, we have our instrument check in: ALL SCHOOL OWNED INSTRUMENTS MUST BE TURNED IN AFTER THE CONCERT.
We need some helpful parents with a large van/truck/car who would be willing to help move instruments from Lyman to Milwee after the concert. We are looking for about 4-5 vans/tucks to help with this: once your vehicle is loaded, you would head over to Milwee to drop off the instruments and cases. This takes about 20 minutes if we have enough help!!! Thanks for volunteering!
4. LASTLY! The Jeremiah's Italian Ice on 17/92 (near Dogtrack Rd) is hosting a fundraiser from 3pm until after the band concert (ends around 9pm)! A portion of all sales for those who mention Milwee Band will be donated back to us. This is also a great way to enjoy some fellowship and celebrate the end of a fantastic concert! We hope you can join us before/after the concert for a sweet treat!
Just reminder that our Spring Concert for all students is on Wednesday, May 9th at 6:30pm in the Lyman High School Auditorium. ALL students report time is between 5:30 and 6pm: beginning band will go directly to the stage and Concert/Symphonic band students will find their assigned seat near the back of the hall.
Students should NOT to bring their instrument case into the auditorium this concert -- students should keep their instrument cases in the car and only bring their instrument and music into the auditorium. All Milwee owned instruments will be turned in after the concert at Lyman HS -- students who have a home tuba, baritone, french horn, or any other wind instrument MUST check their instrument in with Mr. Autrey after the concert before leaving. We will take care of transporting the instruments back to Milwee from Lyman, on your behalf.
All students are to wear the same uniform that was utilized to at the Winter Concert.
For beginners, please wear the green Milwee Band T-Shirt with black pants, black socks, black shoes, and a black belt.
Concert Band, please wear the uniform polo shirt, black pants, black shoes, black socks, and black belt.
Symphonic Band and Jazz Band students should wear the tuxedo uniform.
Thank you all for your hard work and support this year! The students and myself are very excited to share our final concert music with you, it's going to be a fun show! We expect the concert to conclude at 8pm, with clean up/inventory drop to be concluded just after 8:15pm.
Thanks to all of the students who came out last week to support our UNDEFEATED JV and Varsity teams! It was a blast!!! We will have another opportunity to perform for the girls BBall team again this Wednesday, April 25th. The game ran a little longer than expected (we were done at 6:30pm instead of 6pm), but you can leave when you need. I will stay this time for the entire varsity and JV games, until about 6:30pm. Pick up should be no later than 7pm.
Our Universal Studios student payment deadline is fast approaching! I'm sorry about any confusion about the field trip form and file saying "Islands of Adventure" -- this was an oversight on my part -- we are going to UNIVERSAL STUDIOS this year. Please continue to use the same form that was previously emailed on 3/26/2018.
All registration forms and payments are due WEDNESDAY, MAY 2nd! We will then send out chaperone invitations once we know how many total we need and will let you know how much the chaperone ticket will be! Thank you for the high volume of interest in chaperoning students!
We are now accepting ONLINE PAYMENTS for this trip from our band website. Please visit there if you turned in your form and have not paid. Remember ALL students going must pay and turn in the trip form.
Please visit our band website (www.milweeband.com) if you need another copy of the Universal trip form.
Reminder that Registration for the Milwee MS Band program's Summer Band Camp is OPEN!
We offer classes for beginners, students wishing to learn a second instrument, advanced concert band, and jazz band! opportunity!
to view our website, see information/dates/times, and register your student.
WOW! It never ceases to amaze me how much young people can accomplish with a strong dedication to excellence, perseverance, and diligent practice. Our Milwee Concert and Symphonic Band students lived up to that billing this past week at our annual Music Performance Assessment. Our bands were lauded for being wonderful ambassadors on behalf of our school, performing music at a an exceptionally mature level, and demonstrating excellence in focus throughout their time at the festival. BRAVO MILWEE BAND! I am so proud to be apart of your team.
As for our "score/rating" -- I am so pleased to announce that Concert Band received straight Excellent on stage, and a Superior in Sight Reading; Symphonic Band received straight Superior Ratings in both stage and Sight Reading (also achieving "Straight A" markings in every category, from each adjudicator)! This is a wonderful feat for our students. CONGRATULATIONS!
I've uploaded both band's concert recordings to YOUTUBE, you can find the links to each song below. They sound GREAT! Students, I hope you cherish these recordings and enjoy listening to them time and time again.
Beginner students! Please take a few minutes to listen, it's well worth it for you to see what your musical future holds at our school.
During the spring, the MAJOR event for our band is the Music Performance Assessment. Think of this music festival as "Band FCAT, or FSA, or whatever they're calling the testing these days". As a band, we will perform for a panel of judges to compete for comments and an overall rating. This is a BIG deal for our band program and school.
Due to the high level of music making that needs to be achieved, we will be having after school sectionals and full band rehearsals (just like last year!) to bring in extra help and clinicians to work with our students.
Please communicate any conflicts with that after school rehearsal to me as soon as possible, email is best. These are required events, but I will excuse students with an appropriate reason to not attend.
*NOTE* -- The past two years, Concert Band has performed on Thursday. Though it is not guaranteed that we will be scheduled for this date, there is a very high probability that the same schedule from the past two years will not be altered and we will be performing on Thursday the 5th.
*NOTE* -- The past two years, Symphonic Band has performed on SATURDAY. Though it is not guaranteed that we will be scheduled for this date, there is a very high probability that the same schedule from the past two years will not be altered and we will be performing on Saturday the 7th.
Thank you for adding these dates to your calendar!
I hope you had a wonderful holiday break! Before we left for vacation, band students were handed information about an upcoming opportunity to participate in a music festival called Solo and Ensemble Festival. Participation in this festival not required but will assist in making your student a MUCH stronger musician.
For your convenience, I've added some information about the importance of the festival below, but you can find this same information (and more!) on the S&E Sign Up Page.
STUDENTS MUST SIGN UP BY JANUARY 15th, online, if they wish to participate in the festival this year.
Most students were took a packet containing 5-7 solos before the holiday break – students can choose any solo in these packets. Instructions on how to sign up is also listed on the front page of each packet.
Please email me if you have any further questions.
Solo and Ensemble Festival is an opportunity for students to perform a solo piece (one student plus piano accompaniment) in front of a judge for feedback and growth. All Students in Symphonic Band participate in this event as part of their course grade, as it is THE BEST way to develop independence while playing and confidence in performing! Though it is NOT required as part of the BAND 1 &2 curriculum, I am strongly encouraging many beginners and concert band members to participate in this event and I have been very impressed by the amount of interest garnered from our students.
Students who are participating in this event must have a piano accompanist to play with them during their solo slot. Students may arrange to find their own accompanist, or they may request that I find one for them. The accompanist that I find will charge $30 which will cover a rehearsal and the performance at the festival itself -- this is a very competitive rate for accompanists in the area. Please communicate any hardships to me directly, and I will work with you to arrange a way to have your student still participate in the festival -- one of the program goals at Milwee is to never hold back a student due to financial hardship -- we will find a solution!
Lastly, here are the dates for the festival -- please add them to your calendar now -- your performance time will be scheduled about two weeks before the event, so keep both dates clear!
District 8 Solo and Ensemble festival at Deltona High School on Friday, February 23rd and Saturday, February 24th.
All Classes are doing AWESOME! We are working hard, learning new music for this quarter, and getting ready for our Winter Concert!
4. Scales/Pass-Off Assignments for all classes.
1. Due to Halloween, there will be NO after school Lyman/Milwee Mentor session tomorrow. Please do not stay after school.
2. Our fundraiser items will be delivered on Thursday, November 9th , students with ten items or less will be called out of 7th period to pick up their orders.

Time to get this show on the road. Since 1st November I've been growing a mo as part of Movember and t'other day, it was time for my first shave!
So, for my first shave I tried the fresh and zesty concoction that is St. Kitts shaving cream, here goes.
The scent of St. Kitts is really something, it transports you to a faraway island spa paradise. With buff boys serving Bellinis (maybe that's why it's called St. Kitts, like the Caribbean island?) It's a modern fragrance and a refreshing one too. The cream doesn't lather much, but still leaves a silky buffer between blade and skin that helps the shave slip smoothly from start to finish. All in all, the perfect shave with no irritation or drag.
The scent carries through to the after shave spray, but to be honest with you, it's a little much. Whilst the scent is gorgeous, it's a little fruity to be considered a fragrance one might wear. So, do you know what I do with it? I spray my towels with it. Oh my god, my bathroom smells like a hotel spa. It's incredible.
To finish off the shave I used the After Shave Balm from His Heaven, a rich and nourishing cream, perfect for post-shave pampering. Read more about His Heaven here.
Well, there we are, step one to achieving mo-status for Movember. Please show your support by donating to my Movember efforts here.

Vezišće   falu Horvátországban Zágráb megyében. Közigazgatásilag Križhez tartozik.

Fekvése
Zágrábtól 48 km-re délkeletre, községközpontjától  5 km-re délre, az A3-as autópálya mellett, a Csázma jobb partján fekszik.

Története
1857-ben 286, 1910-ben 344 lakosa volt. Trianon előtt Belovár-Kőrös vármegye Križi járásához tartozott. A településnek 2001-ben 280 lakosa volt.

Lakosság

Nevezetességei
A település népi építészetéről, fából épített házairól nevezetes. Védett épület a 84. szám alatti népi építésű lakóház, mely a főút mentén, egy hosszú telken, sík terepen található. Az udvaron hagyományos épületek: magtár, istálló, pajta, kukoricagóré, csirkeól disznóól és kút találhatók. A ház az idők során erősen felértékelődött, mivel szerkezeti és építészeti adottságai az építésétől fogva változatlanok. Az épületek a 19. század végének és a 20. század elejének jellegzetességeit viselik, melyek a monoszlói régióra jellemzőek. A házban díszes tornác, gerinc gerendáján az építés dátumával, eredeti ácsmunkák és tégla kályha található. Ez a kis komplexum egy száz évvel ezelőtt élt nagycsalád életvitelét szemlélteti.

Híres emberek
Itt született 1863. december 19-én Milka Trnina minden idők leghíresebb horvát operaénekesnője.
