Garter Lane Arts Centre is delighted to present Ray of Light, an exhibition of cityscapes by Gary Kearney. Kearney's work examines aspects of the city and urban dwelling- its architecture and how the city space is shaped as vast amounts of information are processed and infinitely altered through our obsession with construction and progression. His work presents a stark vision of the urban environment and of modern society, where humans are absent and yet traces of their presence and impact are felt throughout his work.
Born in Tipperary and based in Cork City, Kearney graduated from the Crawford College of Art & Design in 2005. His work reflects his interest in architecture, perspective and natural lighting and explores how these impact our connection to the urban environment. His work has been exhibited throughout Ireland, including a recent solo show at the Linenhall Arts Centre in Co. Mayo and group shows in the Wandesford Quay Gallery in Cork and the Source Arts Centre in Co. Tipperary. His work is represented in public collections such as the Crawford Municipal Art Gallery and the Office of Public Works.
Ray of Light opens in Garter Lane Arts Centre Front of House Exhibition space, Waterford, on Thursday February 9th 2017 at 7pm. Exhibition continues until Saturday April 8th 2017. Opening hours: Tuesday – Saturday, 11am- 5.30pm and during evening performances. Admission is free and all are welcome.

Dallas Doings: Bnai Zion, Beth Torah, Wildenthal
Bnai Zion Annual Gala will honor Lieberman and Staubach
The Bnai Zion Foundation will hold its Annual Texas Gala at 5 p.m., Monday, Nov. 4, at the Westin Galleria. The evening's honorees are Dr. Zeck Lieberman and Dallas Cowboys legend Roger Staubach. Rabbi Mark Golub, founder of the Jewish Broadcasting Service, will serve as master of ceremonies for the evening. Proceeds from the gala will benefit Bnzai Zion Medical Center.
Zeck Lieberman
Zeck Lieberman, M.D., a native Texan born in Floresville, is a renown oncology surgeon who practiced an unprecedented 55 years at Baylor University Medical Center (BUMC, formerly known as Baylor Hospital) until his retirement in 2013.
He is recognized as one of Baylor's finest leaders, serving as president of the medical staff, chairman of its medical board, and assistant chief of the department of surgery and chief of surgical oncology at the Sammons Cancer Center. In addition to his very active surgical practice, Dr. Lieberman was the Clinical professor of Surgery at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, President of the Dallas County Unit of the American Cancer Society and the Dallas Society of General Surgeons.
For his many accomplishments, Dr. Lieberman has had a Baylor building named in his honor (the Zelig H. Lieberman Research Building) as well as the JCC's Lieberman Family Wellness Center. He has received a 50-year lifetime achievement from his alma mater, Tulane University School of Medicine, and was named "Father of the Year" in Dallas-Fort Worth in 2000, for his proud progeny Steve (Lisa), Susan (Michael) and Randy. L'Dor v'Dor, from generation to generation, he brings honor to his children and to his beloved community.
Roger T. Staubach, graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1965 with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering. He served four years as a Navy officer, after which he joined the Dallas Cowboys professional football team for a decadelong NFL career, during which he became a football legend. During this time, Staubach also began an illustrious career in real estate.
Before his retirement in July 2018, Roger was executive chairman of JLL Americas, a professional services firm specializing in real estate. With a 2017 global revenue of $7.9 billion, JLL serves clients in 80 countries from more than 1,000 locations worldwide, including 300 corporate offices and a global workforce of 82,000. Before joining forces with JLL, he was executive chairman of The Staubach Company, a market-leading global real estate advisory firm that delivered cost-effective solutions for office, industrial and retail clients.
Staubach served as the chairman of the Host Committee for Super Bowl XLV which was held in North Texas in 2011. He continues to be involved with The Children's Cancer Fund, the United States Naval Academy Foundation, and numerous other civic, charitable, and professional organizations.
Tickets for the VAAD-supervised dinner and gala are $250 per person. To register visit https://www.bnaizion.org/events/annual-texas-gala-2019.
Beth Torah to honor Chuck Smith at 45th anniversary celebration
Congregation Beth Torah is celebrating its 45th anniversary on Nov. 2 with a dessert reception, a program reviewing the congregation's history and the presentation of the Nat Cohen Award to Chuck Smith.
Smith, a former Beth Torah president who currently serves as gabbai, was an easy choice for the synagogue's lifetime achievement award, said President Lynda Markowitz. "Chuck has meant so much to Beth Torah in so many ways," she said. "We wouldn't be the same without his selfless hard work, his indefatigable good cheer and, of course, his Hawaiian shirts."
The celebration starts at 7:30 p.m. at the synagogue. Tickets are $45 per couple or $22.50 for individuals. For more information or to make reservations, call Beth Torah at 972-234-1542.
Wildenthal to be honored at inaugural Ackerman Dinner
The University of Texas at Dallas' Ackerman Center for Holocaust Studies in November will honor Dr. Hobson Wildenthal for his years of service to the Center and the University.
The public is invited to honor Wildenthal at the Ackerman Center Leadership Dinner, which will be held at 5:30 p.m., Nov. 17 at the Davidson-Gundy Alumni Center on the UT Dallas campus.
In his many roles at the University — interim president, executive vice president and provost— Wildenthal has taken a leading role in supporting the Ackerman Center and its mission to learn from the Holocaust.
"Dr. Wildenthal has demonstrated exceptional leadership and a commitment to promoting the education and increased awareness of the Holocaust and related human-rights issues," said Dr. Nils Roemer, director of the Ackerman Center and interim dean of the School of Arts and Humanities. "His leadership has inspired multitudes of students and community members to become involved and engaged in ways that echo the mission of the Ackerman Center, that is, 'teach the past and change the future.'"
The Ackerman Center Leadership Dinner will be hosted by John H. and Elizabeth S. Massey, who Roemer said have been instrumental not only in bringing the event to fruition, but in fostering a climate of remembrance in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area through their support of the Ackerman Center and The Dallas Holocaust Museum/Center for Education and Tolerance.
The dinner chairs for the event are Beth and Eddie Ackerman, the honorary chairs are Barbara and Burton C. Einspruch, and the board chairman is David B. Ackerman. His father, Edward M. Ackerman, was instrumental in establishing the Ackerman Center and supporting its programs.
James B. Milliken, chancellor of the University of Texas System, will be the featured speaker. Funds raised at the dinner will support the Ackerman Center Endowment that funds the year-round activities of the Center including graduate students' research and public outreach activities.
For more than three decades, the Ackerman Center has developed an international reputation for the diversity of its academic and outreach programs that enable the center to initiate and promote broadly based study units of the Holocaust, bringing invaluable educational, intellectual, and ethical insights to UT Dallas students as well as to the larger community of the Dallas Metroplex.
"The Center facilitates a historical and moral awareness of what happened when the Third Reich shattered the world of Europe and created shock waves that still exert an impact on contemporary consciousness," Roemer said.
The program is further enhanced by the generous support for faculty research through the Leah and Paul Lewis Chair in Holocaust Studies, the Hillel A. Feinberg Chair in Holocaust Studies, the Barbara and Stan Rabin Professorship in Holocaust Studies, and the Jacqueline and Michael Wald Professorship in Holocaust Studies.
To participate in the dinner, community members can visit www.utdallas.edu/ackermandinner or call 972-883-2100.

Styal Primary give another royal performance
Tue 13th Mar 2018
Styal Primary School was extremely honoured to perform in front of another member of the Royal Family this week.
In January, His Royal Highness Prince Charles visited the school and as a result of this visit they were invited to play in front of Prince Edward during his visit to Chester Racecourse on Monday, 12th March, for an event to mark Commonwealth Day.
Alicia Bellshaw, Deputy Headteacher, said "Lord Lieutenant David Briggs phoned our school to personally invite the band after he had heard them play during his recent visit with HRH Prince Charles.
"We took our Community Steel Pan Band, which consists of 4 ex Styal pupils (who now attend Wilmslow High School), along with 2 current pupils at Styal Primary School and their teacher, Arthur Barnes.
"We even had the opportunity to meet HRH. Prince Edward asked questions about how long the children had been playing for and how difficult it was to learn. He even had a go himself!"
She added "We are now very proud to be able to say that we have played to royalty twice in the space of two months!"

Hello, Russ. SCIChart 2.2.0.2252 is definitely not using libstdc++ anymore. Deprecated libstdc++ library was replaced with libc++ in SciChart v2.2.0, so please make sure you're using the most recent version of SCIChart framework, clean out your xCode Derived Data folder, update cocoa pods.

=====
Usage
=====

Once you've installed Stackoverflow Watcher you have two ways of using it:

    #. Run it using the *"stack-watcher"* command.
    #. Use the underlying library directly from your code.

Once you're comfortable with this you can begin customising how it behaves by
subclassing the main components. This provides a lot of flexibility and isn't
difficult. You can learn how to do this in the customising section and see
examples of it in action in the `examples directory`_.

Command Line
------------

Stackoverflow Watcher comes with the *"stack-watcher"* command. You can use
this from the shell to start watching and filtering questions. The arguments
are:

--tag
    What tag should we restrict the feed to?

--interval
    How many seconds should we wait between feed requests?

--retriever
    What Python class should we use for the :class:`Retriever`?

--question
    What Python class should we use for :class:`Question` objects?

If you wanted to watch all of the latest questions, with no filtering at all.
You would use the command on it's own like so:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ stack-watcher

Let's say you wanted to watch only questions that have the *html* tag. You
could use the **`tag`** argument like this:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ stack-watcher --tag html

Library
-------

Stackoverflow Watcher also has an API which you can use directly in your
own code. Here's an example that does pretty much the same thing as the
*"stack-watcher"* command with no arguments:

.. code-block:: python

    from stack_watcher import Retriever

    retriever = Retriever()

    for question in retriever.questions():
        print(question)

This will continue retrieving and displaying new questions indefinitely.

If you wanted to restrict the questions to a specific tag you could pass the
**`tag`** argument to :class:`Retriever` like this:

.. code-block:: python

    from stack_watcher import Retriever

    retriever = Retriever(tag='html')

    for question in retriever.questions():
        print(question)

.. _examples directory: https://github.com/Matt-Deacalion/Stackoverflow-Watcher/tree/master/examples

Maine Harvest Festival opens for the weekend Featured
Written by Kelly Mitchell
BANGOR - Dozens and dozens of vendors opened their booths Saturday morning for the start of the Maine Harvest Festival.
Now in its eighth year, the event at Bangor's Cross Insurance Center features goods from small businesses all across the state.
One of the businesses present for the weekend is Maine Alpaca Experience. They're selling clothes, yarn, and pretty much everything except the alpaca, which they keep forty of on their Unity farm. They said its one of the biggest vendor shows they do.
"We're shopping for holidays at these booths here," said Corry Pratt, the co-owner of Maine Alpaca Experience. "It's a wonderful event showcasing Maine and all that we can do."
Event organizers said they expect about 8,500 people to come through the festival, looking for everything from mustard, to hand-crafted furniture.
The Carpenter's Workshop, out of Dover-Foxcroft, is a family business that uses local woods to make their craft.
"Family businesses are becoming a scarce thing and we like to see that continuing," said Beth Carpenter, the co-owner of The Carpenter's Workshop. "We have other vendors come and purchase our things. And we do the same with them."
Some of the younger attendees told our news crew they were there to try new foods. Many of the vendors are selling food and drinks.
Down from Fort Kent, the Bouchards sell their own ploye mix - a kind of French Acadian bread used to make pancakes, among other things. They grow the buckwheat for the flour on their family farm.
"We don't get much vacation time, so this is a good little vacation for us," joked Joe Bouchard, a co-owner of Bouchard Family Farm.
"It's just a fun show to do, you get a lot of local people," said Janice Bouchard, also a co-owner.
The Maine Harvest Festival continues Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Tickets can be bought at the door. They're $8 for general admission. Kids age 12 and under get in for free.

Kronos Records is very proud to present the soundtrack to the Stelvio Massi 1974 film GIUDA UCCIDE IL VENERDI (MAKRO) , starring Sophia Kammara, Leonard Mann, Angelo Infanti, Franco Citti, Dada Gallotti, Luciano Rossi and Umberto D'Orsi. The score was penned by none less than the legendary NICO FIDENCO (Immagini Di Un Convento, Boccaccio 70, Zombie Holocaust and many more) and conducted by GIACOMO DELL ORSO, pretty much Italian Film Music Royalty. Previousl yonly a 7" ep containing the Italian sung main song of the film on side A and the English version on side B). This is a world exclusive and it is the first time GIUDA UCCIDE IL VENERDI is out on CD and for the first time in its complete form.
The score to GIUDA UCCIDE IL VENERDI is an eclectic mixture of various genres, ranging from lively uptempo pieces to quasi hypnotic and eerie, verging also on the Rock side of music at moments, with hints of 70's and prog rock elements. Fidenco and Dell'Orso were never scared to be daring and this score is indeed a daring one, a daring and gorgeous score that will haunt you and throw you back 4 decades back where there was so much to explore musically.
A real gem that you cannot afford to miss!


According to the National Fraud Investigation Bureau (NFIB), £15-50 million income is lost by genuine charities in the UK each year - because of charity bag fraud.
Many "charitable" house-to-house clothing collections are misleading / bogus / unlicensed.
We want to improve this situation. One crucial problem here is the lack of readily-available, handy, reliable information, organised into one place. We hope this website will help meet this need.
If the information on our website (and our campaigning) reduces the problem by only 1%, that will raise an extra £250,000+ a year for genuine charities to spend on good causes.
Note - We run the website as volunteers, with not-for-profit, charitable intentions.
So far we have no financial support.
Postscript: The dialogue below helps explain our approach . . .
"There's a meeting of my borstal charity ..."
"Why are all your causes so steeped in gloom?"
"Because it's the gloomy things that need our help.
If everything in the garden's sunny - why meddle?"


Dogs are welcome on application at Manager's discretion. Please contact us directly on 1800 069 388 to discuss your pet and travel needs.

Thank you for looking to stay at BIG4 Whitsundays Tropical Eco Resort, a proud member of BIG4 Holiday Parks. Under special arrangement with BIG4, we have opted to allow dogs to stay in our park under strict conditions. It is of course our intent and goal to provide you with not only a wonderful and enjoyable stay with us, but also a safe and happy one.
In order to ensure the comfort, enjoyment and safety of all of the guests staying with us, we have established a set of clear and enforceable rules to ensure that all dog owners take responsibility and will act responsibly in regards to the actions and behaviour of their dog.
Please note, that all pets must be pre-approved prior to making a booking. Acceptance is always at the discretion of the park manager, and such acceptance can be withdrawn at any time by the park manager at their discretion, if they believe that the acceptance of that dog to stay in the park is not in the best interests of the park. Please note, that some breeds of dogs will not be accepted. Bookings can only be made by contacting the park directly (not through a website).
A valid credit card will be held as security and the registered guest will be liable for any damages associated with the dog.
After reading this policy, we request that you, as the dog's guardian, are required to make a commitment to the rules by signing this agreement, and as such your dog will be bound by these rules and conditions.
BIG4 Whitsundays Tropical Eco Resort prides itself on being one of the best pet friendly parks in Australia.
The dog must be leashed at all times whilst not in your van or tent or other accommodations. No exceptions. A leash must be no more than two metres in length. This includes no dog 'runs' to be set up.

A credit card will be stored on file for any incidentals relating to your beloved pooch.
The dog owner must agree that the park owner/manager reserves the right to evict any guests whose dog is deemed noisy, disruptive, aggressive, found off leash or the subject of complaints from other guests. It is the dog owner's responsibility and the dog owner's alone to control and manage their dog. If in the view of the park management this has not happened to an acceptable level the owner and the dog may be evicted from the park, without prior warning, immediately at the manager's discretion.
The dog owner must contact BIG4 Whitsundays Tropical Eco Resort directly in advance of arrival to apply to have their dog accepted into the Park. Upon arrival it is at the managers' discretion as to whether to accept the dog in the park.

the horizontal position. In this movement it is aided by the supraspinatus and infraspinatus. The anterior (clavicular) portion of the muscle assists the pectoralis major in drawing the arm forwards, while the posterior portion draws it backwards.
M. Supraspinatus.-The supraspinatus arises by fleshy fibres from the supraspinous fossa (except near the neck of the bone) and from the deep fascia over it (Fig. 329, p. 368).
It is directed laterally under the trapezius muscle, the acromion and coracoacromial ligament, to be inserted by a broad thick tendon into the most proximal facet on the larger tubercle of the humerus, and into the capsule of the shoulderjoint (Fig. 336, p. 376).
RATUS ANTERIOR
M. Infraspinatus.-The infraspinatus arises from the infra-spinous fossa of the scapula (excepting near the neck, of the bone and the flat surface along the axillary margin) and from the thick fascia over it (Fig. 337, p. 376).
The fibres of the muscle converge to the neck of the scapula; and are inserted by tendon into the middle facet on the larger tubercle of the humerus, and into the capsule of the shoulder-joint (Fig. 336, p. 376). A bursa separates the muscle from the neck of the scapula, and in a minority of cases communicates with the synovial cavity of the shoulder-joint.
The supraspinatus and the upper part of the infraspinatus muscles are concealed by the trapezius, acromion, and deltoid. They cover the neck of the scapula, the transverse scapular artery, and suprascapular nerve, and the capsule of the shoulder-joint.
Nerve-Supply.-Supra-scapular nerve.
Action. The muscle assists the deltoid in abducting and drawing back the arm at the shoulder-joint.
M. Teres Minor.-The teres minor is a small muscle, arising by fleshy fibres from the proximal two-thirds of the flat surface on the dorsal aspect of the axillary margin of the scapula, and from fascial septa separating it from the infraspinatus and teres major muscles (Fig. 337, p. 376).
Lying alongside the lateral border of the infraspinatus, it is inserted, under cover of the deltoid, by a thick flat tendon, into the most distal of the three facets on the

LEFT AXILLA AND FRONT OF ARM.
larger tubercle of the humerus and into the capsule of the shoulder-joint, and, by fleshy fibres, into the posterior aspect of the surgical neck and body of the humerus distal to the tubercle for about an inch (Fig. 341, p. 380).
It is separated from the teres major by the long or scapular head of the triceps brachii, and by the posterior circumflex vessels of the humerus and the axillary nerve. Its origin is pierced by the circumflex scapular artery. The muscle is invested by the deep fascia enclosing the infraspinatus, and is sometimes inseparable from that muscle.

margin (except for a small area at the inferior angle), and from fascial septa, which separate it on the one side from the subscapularis, and on the other from the infraspinatus and teres minor (Fig. 337).
The muscle is directed along the axillary margin of the scapula to the front of the body of the humerus, where it is inserted, by a broad flat tendon, into the medial border of the sulcus intertubercularis medial to the latissimus dorsi muscle (Fig. 337). Just before its insertion it is closely adherent to the tendon of the latissimus dorsi.
The teres major lies below the subscapularis muscle in the posterior wall of
the axilla. The latissimus dorsi muscle, sweeping round from the back, covers its axillary surface on its way to its insertion. The muscle forms the inferior boundary of a triangular space in the posterior wall of the axilla, of which the other boundaries are, above, the borders of the subscapularis and teres minor muscles, and laterally the surgical neck of the humerus. This space is subdivided by the long head of the triceps brachii, which passes behind the teres major muscle, into (a) a quadrilateral space above, for the passage of the axillary nerve and posterior circumflex artery of the humerus; and (b) a smaller triangular space below, for the circumflex scapulæ artery.
Nerve-Supply. The teres major is supplied, along with part of the subscapularis muscle, by the lower subscapular nerve (C. 5. 6.),
Action.-A medial rotator of the humerus.
M. Subscapularis.-The subscapularis is a large triangular muscle which covers the costal surface of the scapula. It arises by fleshy fibres from the whole of the subscapular fossa and the groove along the axillary margin, excepting the surfaces at the angles of the bone (Fig. 333, p. 372). Springing from several ridges in the fossa are fibrous septa projecting into the substance of the muscle, which increase the extent of its attachment.
Converging to the head of the humerus, the muscular fibres are inserted by a broad, thick tendon into the smaller tubercle of the humerus and into the capsule of the shoulder-joint, and by fleshy fibres into the surgical neck and the body of the humerus distal to the tubercle for about an inch, under cover of the coracobrachialis and short head of the biceps (Fig. 336, p. 376).
This muscle forms the greater part of the posterior wall of the axilla. Its medial or anterior surface is in contact with the serratus anterior and the axillary vessels and nerves. It is separated from the neck of the scapula by a bursa, which is in direct communication with the synovial cavity of the shoulder-joint.
The subscapularis minor is an occasional muscle situated below the capsule of the shoulderjoint. It arises from the axillary border of the scapula below the subscapularis, and is inserted into the capsule of the joint or the proximal part of the body of the humerus.
Nerve-Supply. There are two and often three nerves supplying the subscapularis, viz., the short subscapular (C. 5. 6.), which is often double; and the lower subscapular (C. 5. 6.), which, after supplying its lateral (lower) portion, ends in the teres major.
Actions. The muscle aids in drawing the arm forward and medially rotating the humerus.
The principal action of the above group of muscles is on the shoulder-joint. They have also secondary actions in relation to movements of the trunk and limbs.
1. Movements at the Shoulder-Joint.
a. Abduction.
Adduction.
Biceps (short head)
Triceps brachii (long |
head)
Weight of limb
b. Flexion (Forwards).
Deltoid (anterior fibres)
Extension (Backwards).
Deltoid (posterior fibres)
c. Rotation Laterally.
Rotation Medially.
d. Circumduction-combination of previous muscles.
The various movements at the shoulder-joint are greatly aided by the muscles acting on the shoulder girdle. In raising the arm above the head, for instance, the humerus is brought to the horizontal position by the deltoid and supraspinatus, and the movement is continued by the
elevators of the shoulder girdle. Again, in forward and backward movements at the shoulderjoint, great assistance is derived from muscles acting directly on the shoulder girdle pectoralis minor and serratus anterior; trapezius and rhomboidei.
2. In relation to the trunk and limbs, the shoulder muscles, by fixing the humerus, have auxiliary power on the one hand in movements of the trunk, such as forced inspiration; on the other hand, acting along with muscles fixing the elbow-joint, they stiffen the limb so as to permit of the more refined movements of the wrist and fingers.
FASCIÆ AND MUSCLES OF THE ARM.
FASCIÆ.
The superficial fascia presents no features of importance. There is a bursa beneath it over the olecranon, and occasionally another over the medial epicondyle of the humerus.
The deep fascia forms a strong tubular investment for the muscles on the anterior and posterior aspects of the humerus. It is continuous above with the deep fascia of the shoulder and axilla, and is further strengthened by fibres derived from the insertions of the pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, and deltoid muscles. At the elbow it becomes continuous with the deep fascia of the forearm, and gains attachment to the epicondyles of the humerus and the olecranon of the ulna; it is strengthened also by important bands associated with the insertions of the biceps anteriorly and the triceps posteriorly, to which reference will be made in the account of these muscles.
About the middle of the arm on the medial side, the deep fascia is perforated for the passage of the basilic vein and the medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm.
The intermuscular septa are processes of the deep fascia attached to the epicondylic ridges of the humerus. The medial and stronger septum is placed between the brachialis muscle anteriorly and the medial head of the triceps posteriorly, and gives origin to both. It extends proximally to the insertion of the coracobrachialis (which is often continued into it), and the ulnar nerve and superior ulnar collateral vessels pass distally over its medial edge. The lateral septum is thinner. It separates the brachialis muscle and brachioradialis in front from the medial and lateral heads of the triceps behind, and gives origin to those muscles. It extends proximally to the insertion of the deltoid, and is pierced by the radial nerve and profunda brachii vessels..
MUSCLES OF THE ARM.
The muscles of the arm comprise the biceps, coracobrachialis, and brachialis || on the anterior aspect, and the triceps brachii on the posterior aspect of the humerus. Except at its extremities, the biceps brachii is superficial, and forms a rounded fleshy mass on the anterior aspect of the arm. The coracobrachialis is visible on its medial side in the proximal half of the arm, particularly when the arm is raised. The brachialis is concealed by the biceps. The triceps brachii forms the thick mass of muscle covering the posterior surface of the humerus.
M. Coracobrachialis.-The coracobrachialis is a rudimentary muscle. It arises under cover of the deltoid from the tip of the coracoid process, by fleshy fibres, in common with the short head of the biceps, and also frequently from the tendon of insertion of the pectoralis minor muscle.
The fleshy belly is pierced by the musculo-cutaneous nerve, and ends in a flat tendon which is inserted into a faint linear impression about an inch in length on the middle of the medial border of the body of the humerus (Fig. 336, p. 376). It is often continued into the medial intermuscular septum.
The coracobrachialis is the remains of a threefold muscle, of which only two elements are usually present in man, but of which in anomalous cases all the parts may be more or less fully developed. The passage of the musculo-cutaneous nerve through the muscle is an indication of its natural separation into two parts, which represent the persistent middle and distal elements.
The commonest variety is one in which the more superficial (distal) part of the muscle extends more distally than usual, so as to be inserted into the medial intermuscular septum, or even into the medial epicondyle of the humerus. A third slip (coracobrachialis superior or brevis,
rotator humeri) may more rarely be present, forming a short muscle arising from the root of the coracoid process, and inserted into the medial side of the humerus just distal to the capsule of the shoulder-joint.

700 mile cycle ride for friends
Two friends from Ipswich will cycle the 700 miles to Scafell Pike and back in an epic challenge for Muscular Dystrophy UK – despite having barely been on a bike for many years.
Bored of lockdown and wanting a challenge, Alex Pilgrim came up with the idea in April and messaged his friends on WhatsApp to invite them along.
Most of them laughed and dismissed the idea – apart from pal David Hooley, who agreed to join Alex on the challenge once lockdown restrictions were lifted.
Before settling on the 10-day challenge, which will also include scaling the mountain itself by foot, Alex only cycled occasionally on his 11-mile commute to work, while David hadn't been on a bike for several years.
The pair, who are both 22 and met at school, will set off from Ipswich on 27 July in a bid to raise £2,000 for Muscular Dystrophy UK.
David said: "When we first told people what we were doing, everyone thought it was a joke. But now people are taking it a bit more seriously and are being really supportive.
"I probably haven't done as much training as I should have, but I'm looking forward to the challenge and am determined I will do this. I've never done anything like it before, but now that it's so close I realise it's actually happening."
Alex and David will pass through three national parks on their journey, with the peak of England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike, marking the halfway point.
They are carrying all of their equipment themselves and hope to cycle 100 miles on day one, followed by 60 to 80 miles every day thereafter.
The friends have chosen to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy UK because Alex's dad, Carl, has limb girdle muscular dystrophy. The charity leads the fight against 60 rare and very rare muscle-wasting conditions, including limb girdle muscular dystrophy, by funding and support research to drive the development of effective treatments, and supporting individuals and their families from the point of diagnosis onwards.
Alex said: "I remember him walking when I was younger. But over the years I have seen the changes his condition has brought. He now has an electric wheelchair, and this has given him more freedom. Muscular Dystrophy UK is a cause close to our hearts, and we hope to raise as much money as possible."
Speaking about the cycle, he added: "I was supposed to join the Royal Marines this year but it has been delayed because of Covid-19. I decided I wanted an adventure and I thought, 'What have I never done before?' I've never been to the Lake District, and I've certainly never cycled 700 miles, so I decided to do that.
"I've done quite a lot of training and I'm feeling confident. I've had to fit it in around my job and have been getting up at 3am, going for a cycle from 3.30am to 5.30am, then working from 7am to 7pm. So it's been difficult, but hopefully it will be worth it."
Dan McNally, Head of Regional Development at Muscular Dystrophy UK, said: "We're so grateful to David and Alex for taking on this amazing challenge, which will help us to continue supporting people with muscle-wasting conditions. Cycling 700 miles over 10 days is no mean feat, and we are hugely impressed by this effort.
"Charities like ours are needed now more than ever, but funds are stretched because of Covid-19. Support from people like David and Alex is even more vital at this time."

Who's moving? U.S. catching up to Southern California's lengthy homeownership
Nationally, typical seller since 2015 owned their home 7.6 years — up from 4.3 years in 2000-04.
By Jonathan Lansner | jlansner@scng.com | Orange County Register
PUBLISHED: May 2, 2019 at 8:00 am | UPDATED: May 2, 2019 at 9:23 am
People don't move like they used to.
This lack of mobility is often spun negatively in California because it suggests there aren't enough good living alternatives, so folks "age in place" instead of relocating. Staying put in turn is blamed for limiting the supply of homes for sale. That slim inventory supposedly helps nudge up prices and lower so-called affordability.
This logic puzzles me. Take a recent California Association of Realtors survey, for example, that found just one in four California homeowners plans to move. Apparently many folks are happy with their housing arrangements with 86 percent of owners polled saying they're satisfied with their home. So, why should they move? And if more folks did sell these owners would become house hunters, too, boosting competition for available properties.
Roughly speaking, folks this century have nearly doubled how long they own homes. Perhaps this lack of mobility should be seen as a vote of confidence in a region, noting that Californian owners are among the nation's most stable.
My trusty spreadsheet tracked the average length of ownership in 108 major U.S. markets using figures provided by Attom Data Solutions. I compared results for folks who sold a home in the past five years vs. those who did the same at the start of the century in 2000-2004.
I found local ownership is getting longer — a common trend across the U.S. That helped push down Southern California's national ranking.
Nationally, the typical seller since 2015 owned their home an average 7.6 years between purchase and sale — that's up from 4.3 years in 2000-04, a gain of 3.3 years during the century's first two decades.
In Los Angeles and Orange counties, sellers on average owned a home 9.34 years before selling — No. 25 in Attom's study of 108 big U.S. markets. But at the start of the century, L.A.-O.C. ownership was the nation's 16th longest at 5.59 years. This extension of ownership — 3.74 years isn't much bigger than the national pattern and was the 91st longest expansion out of 108 markets tracked.
Same was true in Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Typical sellers in the last five years owned for 8.71 years — ranked No. 39 nationally. That's up from 5.4 years at the century's start when the Inland Empire ranked No. 24th nationally. Relatively speaking, it's a small increase, too: 3.31 years — ranking 98th out of 108.
Extended ownership, in some ways, is not surprising. As a state and nation, we're getting older — and older folks don't move as much. And the Great Recession's devastation of housing values may have kept folks stuck in their homes longer than the norm.
These longer-term owners may be changing communities, too, economically and politically.

As owners' kids move away, retail spending may migrate to goods and services targeted for older residents. That demographic shift may nudge government funds toward safety and senior care, for instance, and away from housing or education.
And long-time owners may instinctively have "not-in-my-backyard" tendencies, wanting to preserve personal housing values.
Let's not forget, too, it's a major headache to find new housing, selling your current abode — no less, packing and then unpacking! And it can be costly, too. Then there could be a hefty tax bill, to boot. When you don't move, numerous real estate pros — not to mention the tax collector — lose out on a payday.
To me, this declining mobility feels more like a moment of clarity. Considering all those relocation hurdles, what were people thinking years ago when they moved more frequently?
Perhaps this "aging in place" is a signal of growing mental health, if not added fiscal responsibility.

How I know both teams are complete. The team HC Plzen is still thought to be the qualifications for play-off for what they have chances, so they hope today's win. Team HC Plzni has one of the best attacking in league and the fourth team in the league with 108 goals scored with just 3 goals less than the most efficient HC Vitkovice. They have one of the most productive players in the league of excellent Tomas Vlasak who has recorded 19 goals and 30 assists. They also have the most productive duo of league Vlasak-Straka. However, HC Plzen is the team that is receiving a lot of goals have received the most goals in the league 114. HC Kladno team also receives a lot of goals and received a 108 goals and more of them have received only HC Litvinov and HC Plzen. This is a team that has obtained the least goals in the league only 69.
In today's match, the team HC Plzen is one of the last chances to catch up in the battle for play-off, I know there is still plenty to play and that is eighteen games to end the regular season but they are already lagging 12 points for HC Litvinov and it will not be not easy to reach. HC Kladno team is all the worst team in the league and will play the play out and I think that today have no chance because the team HC Plzen much better.

Are the Irish still white?
Tom Deignan
This past St. Patrick's Day, TV viewers were treated to a strange sight on The Colbert Report, Comedy Central's late night satire show.
Host Stephen Colbert, who never misses an opportunity to remind viewers of his Irish roots, was interviewing a very professorial African American woman. Or at least she appeared to be African American.
But when Colbert noted, with mock seriousness, that he doesn't "see race," he asked her if she was, indeed, African American.
"I don't know," Colbert's guest said. "I have a Ph.D. Am I white?"
From there the interview got even stranger. Colbert ranted and raved about Cromwell and Northern Ireland and how the Scotch-Irish "do not have one ounce of Irish blood."
In the end, Colbert and his guest arm wrestled.
The reason for all of this silly banter was that Colbert's guest, Princeton professor Nell Irvin Painter, has written a new book called The History of White
People. An important portion of the book explores the painful process of Irish assimilation into the American mainstream in the wake of the Irish Famine.
"What really surprised me at first was the level of hatred that people I thought of as white directed at other people I thought of as white," Painter said in a recently published interview.
"So the amount of hatred directed toward the Irish immigrants in the middle of the 19th century, I -- coming out of straight U.S. history -- I thought of those Irish people as people who beat up other people.
"That's a dumb way of saying it, but that's how poor Irish people figure into the general history of the U.S."
Give Painter credit for her honesty. The basic argument she is making is that race is basically a fake category. Religion is a choice you make based on faith or birth.
Ethnicity generally refers to the nation you hail from. But race?
Well, sure, by now we believe it is based on skin color. But that, Painter argues, is superficial.
In fact, the Irish and their famously white skin were, for a very long time, not allowed to enter the exclusive white club in America.
Blacks, of course, were lowest on the racial ladder. Then Jews, Italians and Slavs began coming over in larger numbers and they faced their own discrimination.
Painter's book could very well have been called "How the Irish Became White."
There's just one problem with that. A book with that exact title was published well over a decade ago.
It begs the question -- who knew the Irish were still "thought of as white"?
Okay, so I'm dabbling in some Colbert-level absurdity here myself. Painter's book is much broader in scope than How the Irish Became White by Noel Ignatiev.
Painter's book goes all the way back to the Greeks. And sure, as Painter and others argue, if you think about it, race is kind of a hard thing to define, especially in a place such as America, where all kinds of different people intermarry.
And yet, something is missing here. Painter, like Noel Ignatiev before her, acknowledges that the Irish initially had a horrible time in America.
But you get the sense that once they were finally allowed into the country club, they didn't just become white. That's all they became.
Irish American novelist Peter Quinn dealt with these issues admirably in a 1996 essay entitled "How the Irish Stayed Irish."
If the Irish essentially became cozy WASPS as the 19th century wore on, how on Earth can you explain this group's century-long obsession with liberating the nation they left behind?
How do you explain their construction of what amounts to a separate Irish Catholic nation in America, where you grow up in vast cities such as New York or Boston, and yet, from the cradle to the grave, define yourself mainly by the people and particularities of your parish.
Then again, Painter's index for The History of White People shows she read Ignatiev's book, but not Quinn's essay.
Oh well. At least it's a partial history.
(Tom Deignan will be discussing "20 Books Every Irish American Should Read" at the mid-Manhattan branch library, 455 Fifth Avenue, April 17 at 2:30 p.m., and at the Riverdale, Bronx branch library on April 22 at 6 p.m. Contact

Press Release / October 10, 2017
The Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research ISC significantly expands its research and development activities in Würzburg in the areas of health, medical products and cell-based regenerative therapies. The Translational Center "Regenerative Therapies for Oncology and Musculoskeletal Diseases", hitherto a branch of the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB in Stuttgart, became part of the Fraunhofer ISC on 1 August 2017. The Center is headed by Professor Heike Walles and was established at the Würzburg University Hospital. Along with the change of parent institute came a change of name: The former abbreviation "TZKME" will be "TLZ-RT" instead (for Translational Center Regenerative Therapies). Through the integration of the Translational Center, the Fraunhofer ISC in Würzburg expands by 47 members of staff.
Using elastomer films to generate electricity
Water is still the most important source of renewable energy in Bavaria, Germany, accounting for some 33 percent of all renewable energy produced in the region, as showed by the Bavarian Energy Map. But conventional hydroelectric plants, especially micro hydro generators, are a subject of controversy due to their low output volumes and their interference with the ecosystem. Fraunhofer researchers are working on an environmentally friendly alternative: in the future, innovative elastomer materials are set to convert the mechanical energy produced by flowing water in small rivers directly into electrical energy.
Smart buildings through innovative membrane roofs and façades
Press Release / September 05, 2017
The Cooperative Research Project FLEX-G started on June 1, 2017 under the federal construction technology initiative named ENERGIEWENDEBAUEN funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi, funding reference 03ET1470A). The main goal of the research project is to investigate technologies for the manufacturing of translucent and transparent membrane roof and façade elements with integrated optoelectronic components. The focus lies on a switchable total energy transmittance (often referred to as the solar factor or solar heat gain, and "g-value" in Europe) and on flexible solar cell integration to significantly contribute to both energy saving and power generation in buildings.

Launch of project ECO COM'BAT: Sustainable energy storage with high-voltage batteries
Cruising range is one of the greatest challenges for the rapid implementation of electromobility in Europe. Ten partners from industry and research organizations now join forces in the EU funded project ECO COM'BAT, coordinated by the Fraunhofer Project Group Materials Recycling and Resource Strategies, part of the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research ISC, to develop the next generation of lithium-ion batteries – the high-voltage battery. Better performance is not the only goal for the new battery. Compared to conventional batteries the new type should be more powerful and with regard to the materials used even more sustainable. The main task here is the substitution of conventional, often expensive, rare or even critical materials.

Flexible protection for »smart« building and façade components
The trend in architecture and facility management is towards »smart« buildings which, by means of integrated flexible electronics, automatically react on changing ambient conditions. These buildings are energy efficient and may have a number of comfortable features like solar cell modules integrated into façades or electrochromic windows, which change tint from clear to dark in strong sunshine. The implementation of novel usage concepts, however, still faces several challenges, mostly concerning the required service life of electronic components and their direct integration into building envelopes, especially when these are of lightweight construction or comprise flexible membrane roofing systems or façades.
