Here's the scoop. We've been working with Intel engineers for some time now, and we've all been enjoying it so much, we decided to commit to the relationship big time.
As announced in this Broad press release, we are taking our collaboration with Intel to the next level. Specifically, we have joined forces to create the "Intel-Broad Center for Genomic Data Engineering", with an initial five-year mission to build out life sciences tools and infrastructure, and boldly grow the genomics community's ability to collaborate across diverse datasets and analysis platforms in ways that no one has done before.
Ahem. In practice this is going to enable us to bring you some key improvements on three fronts: hardware recommendations, genomics software tools, and cross-infrastructure collaboration.
Let's start with genomics software tools.
You may have heard of this little toolkit we develop called GATK. We like to think it's really quite good at solving genome analysis problems, in the sense that it gives us best in class scientific results. But sometimes it's a tad cough significantly cough slower than it could be, because -- surprise! -- most of us aren't actually software engineers, and our primary goal is to answer scientific questions correctly, not optimize for speed. So although we do try to make the code as efficient as possible (if only because an elegant algorithm is like a ray of sunshine on a dreary post-election November morning) we're not in the business of developing exotic hardware-specific optimizations, FPGAs, GPUs, SSDs and all that alphabet soup. We like to do the smart thing, and here the smart thing is to partner up with seasoned professionals who can do this stuff in their sleep. Enter the Intel team and their Genomics Kernel Library (GKL), an open-source collection of optimized components that act as drop-in replacements for key components of the GATK tools, like PairHMM and IntelDeflater, producing significant speedups given compatible hardware.
But it's not just GATK. The Intel team has been actively contributing to the development of Cromwell, the open-source execution engine that our fellow nerds in Data Science and Data Engineering (DSDE) are building to run analysis pipelines written in WDL. The Cromwell/WDL pairing is a one-two punch combination that makes it easy to write sophisticated genomic analysis pipelines and execute them across different platforms, on-premises or on cloud.
Our Intel collaborators have also developed a new kind of database called GenomicsDB that provides a number of benefits, including enabling large-scale production use cases (think ExAC and GnomAD). Right now it's not something that's really trivial to deploy, but we're working on making it easier for anyone to take advantage of the GenomicsDB capabilities within GATK pipelines.
Okay, now let's talk hardware.
Hey, the good news is that again, the Intel team is here to help. They've been systematically evaluating our Best Practices pipelines from the point of view of resources and requirements, determining what are the performance bottlenecks, what steps can be parallelized most efficiently and how, and generally figuring out what are the most optimal hardware configurations for given use cases. We worked with them to vet the pipeline implementations and help them understand how their observations matched what the tools do under the hood. This led to a first set of recommendations published as a white paper a few months ago, with a follow-up paper slated for imminent release -- which I've been authorized to make available as a sneak preview here. Going forward, the scope of this "reference architecture" effort is going to expand to include more use cases and more types of platforms. We're hoping this will help take the guesswork out of setting up new infrastructure and allow the community to focus on what's important, i.e. the science.
And to conclude, the more complicated part: collaboration across systems and organizations.
Fun fact: the regulations on human data privacy are sufficiently different between the USA and the EU, to mention only those two (yes, we're aware the rest of the world exists) that right now there are valuable scientific studies that cannot happen because the relevant data cannot cross the Pond -- in either direction. Similarly frustrating problems arise across organizational and national borders in a variety of other settings.
One of the most ambitious aspects of Broad's collaboration with Intel, which goes far beyond our little GATK team and our immediate coworkers in DSDE, is the development of "secure multiparty computation" to enable data sharing across different infrastructures, i.e. systems that will enable secure and seamless analysis across datasets that reside in otherwise unconnectable silos. It's a super exciting concept and I look forward to telling you more about it when I get around to understanding more than 10% of how it's supposed to work.
Let's face it, I can't do justice to the vision that underlies this collaboration in a mere two pages -- but I look forward to delivering news of more cool things that will make your work and life better as they become available!
Oh, and there's a YouTube video of our group leader Anthony Phillippakis announcing the Intel-Broad Center.

We Have Spent Over N900bn On Nigeria's Power Sector - VP Osinbajo
Trump Francis July 13, 2019 General News, News
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo says the present administration has invested N900 billion in the power sector since its assumption of office in 2015.
Osinbajo stated this when he paid a courtesy visit on the Asagba of Asaba, Prof. Chike Edozien on Friday in Asaba.
"Since assumption of office, we have invested so far in terms of support N700 billion in the power sector. Earlier, we invested N200 billion.
The vice president said further that the Federal Government was in the process of investing another N600 billion in the sector.
On further steps to improve power supply in the country, the vice president said that the federal government had decided to take a second look at the power sector.
According to him, one of the reasons why there are challenges in the power sector is that each of the Distribution Companies (Discos) controls a particular territory.
"And now we are saying that any company that wants to provide power to any territory, should be able to provide power for the territory and the people.
'We have been able to break the existing monopoly in the power sector. Whether upgrade or not, the discos should be able to serve the people.
"Another strategy we are trying to introduce is to open up the power sector by restructuring," he said.
On the second Niger Bridge, Osinbajo said that the project was very important to the Federal Government.
According to him, President Muhammadu Buhari did not only negotiate for the equipment being used for the construction of the bridge but is also paying special attention to the project.
"I was here six weeks ago to look at the progress of the work there and I must say that the project is going on well.
"I hope that very soon we should be completing not just the bridge, but also all surrounding infrastructure both here in Asaba and the other end of the bridge," he added.
Earlier, in his address of welcome, the Asagba of Asaba noted that poor power supply had been a major challenge in the Delta capital and appealed to the federal government to intervene in the situation.
He also appealed to the government to compensate the people of Asaba on the 1967 massacre which claimed many lives, by establishing a federal university in the town.
According to him, Asaba is the only state capital in Nigeria without a federal university.

Vogel turns out Democrats in Gainesville
Updated: Aug. 19, 2014, 11:38 p.m.
Area Democrats gathered at the Gainesville Convention Center on Tuesday night to welcome and support U.S. Ninth Congressional District candidate David Vogel.
Vogel squares off against incumbent Republican Doug Collins in the general election this November.
Vogel said the turnout of about 50 people at the event shows that his volunteer organizing initiative is working.
But, he added, his candidacy is not benefiting from the competitive challenges posed by Democrats Jason Carter and Michele Nunn in their respective campaigns for governor and U.S. Senate.
"They're sucking up all the money," he said.
Meanwhile, Hall County Democratic Party Chairman Frank Lock said it is too early to tell if the local party's rebranding efforts, which include the unveiling of a new headquarters on Athens Street in Gainesville earlier this summer, are paying off.
But Democrats in attendance said they are energized about this year's slate of candidates.
Mary Carden, of Gainesville, said that while she's not some wild-eyed liberal, she identifies as a moderate Democrat "because I think."
Carden added that Republican positions have become nonsensical and beholden to special interests.
John M. Clark, of Elbert County, said he's been active in politics since the early 1970s.
The U.S. Army veteran said the Democratic Party abandoned the working class in the last decade or so, but things are beginning to turn around.
"We always keep the faith," he said, adding that he's a firm believer in the power of grass-roots movements to affect political change.
And it's a grass-roots movement Vogel is banking on to compete with Collins.
Paula Golden, a volunteer for Vogel's campaign, said she is working hard making calls and doing everything she can to turn out the vote for Vogel.
The Demorest resident said she identifies as a progressive and feels Democrats have their "best chance in a long while" to restake their claim in Georgia this year.


This week, we tested the Audio Technica AT-HA5050H headphone amplifier with DAC. An exceptional amplifier, fitted with a digital to analog converter compatible with 32 bits / 384 kHz and DSD audio stream up to 5.6 MHz.
The Audio Technica AT-HA5050H was developed to power demanding earphones, headband headphones and hi-fi headphones. The H in AT-HA5050H stands for ?hybrid', as the amplifier uses two ECC88 tubes for its preamplification section, while the amplification is handled by transistors. This technique is used to combine the ?warmth? of tube sound with the power of transistors (for low sensitivity headphones such as orthodynamics for example). Audio Technica selected the electronic components of this amplifier amongst the best manufactured by Nichicon, Wima, Lundahl, Toshiba or JJ Electronics for the power tubes. All the components used in the circuit to convey the signal are sorted and paired. Four types of inputs are available- two stereo analog inputs (RCA and XLR) and three digital inputs (coaxial RCA and optical Toslink S/PDIF, as well as type B USB).
Audio Technica does not mention the type of DAC used, but based on the technical characteristics and the sound signature, it is possible that the chip used is a Burr Brown model (probably a DSD1793, to be confirmed).
Capable of powering two sets of headphones simultaneously, this amplifier features four 6.35 mm jack outputs for a total of eight outputs. Each has different output impedance characteristics- 0.1 Ohms, 33 Ohms, 82 Ohms and 120 Ohms. Each output offers a different level of gain and sound signature. For example, the 0.1 Ohms output delivers an important sound volume and a high level of precision, while the 120 Ohms output offers a softer sound with an omnipresent bass range. At the back of the device is a level attenuator (0 or -12 dB), a very convenient feature with a BitPerfect digital source (when the USB source doesn't offer the possibility of adjusting the level for example) and when a high sensitivity set of headphones is used with the 0.1 Ohm output. It is possible to benefit from a wider volume adjustment range when the attenuation is activated. The USB port features two working modes- adaptive or asynchronous. We carried out our listening sessions in asynchronous mode as this type of connection offers a better quality.
Aside from the input selector and volume potentiometer, the front panel features an audio stream resolution indicator ranging from 32 to 384 kHz in addition to DSD64 and DSD128 (2.8 and 5.6 MHz). Lastly, the front panel is fitted with two backlit VU meters which indicate the dynamic range of the currently played audio track. A 4 position attenuator allows the user to adjust the scale (so that the needle isn't constantly in the red when the volume needs to be turned up for low sensitivity headphones).
We connected the Audio Technica AT-HA5050H headphone amplifier to the USB port of a Raspberry Pi2 working with Volumio OS. Although very affordable, this computer features low noise USB ports (as they are powered by a low amount of electric current) and the audio playback engine used (MPD) allows BitPerfect playback toward the external DAC. We used an Audioquest Carbon USB cable for this test. We used several sets of headphones, our faithful Sennheiser PX100, a Shure SRH-1540 and an Audioquest Nighthawk. The files we listened to were in FLAC and DSD format.
This headphone amplifier offers an absolutely exceptional sound. We have rarely heard such refinement and even the McIntosh MHA100 headphone amplifier is a step below. The Audio Technica AT-HA5050H is incredibly generous from the very beginning (without any break-in period) while staying incredibly neutral. When listening to it, you realise that only a small part of the sound is actually heard with lesser quality headphone amplifiers. The listener?s attention is not focused on one or two instruments or the artist?s voice, but on the contrary it is captivated by a plethora of micro-details masterfully extracted by the amplifier.
?L'amour est un oiseau rebelle? (FLAC 16/44) is delivered with palpable emotion, the space between Maria Callas and the choir is extended to the extreme. The voice of the diva fills the space in a unique way, without any dynamic compression. ?Fortes? are extremely realistic and the emotion is tangible. We stay speechless and we start wondering how we can possibly listen to lower quality electronics on a daily basis. In a different register, we completely rediscovered Serge Gainsbourg?s 69 année érotique (FLAC 16/44). The sound take and mix are outstanding. The violins on the right are full and the echo can be heard all the way to the far left of the sound stage, Gainsbourg sings in the centre with an extraordinary smoothness. The whole track is incredibly rich and simply magnificent. Everything we listened to was absolutely delightful.
One can only praise an amplifier as musical as the Audio Technica AT-HA5050H after listening to it. Absolutely every type of music and recording is delivered with an extraordinary amount of details and, most importantly, with a coherence beyond reproach. The sound is both extremely rich and simple. This is music with a capital M, regardless of the type of headphones used.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis lamented that the use of guns by civilians to defend themselves is becoming a "habit."
In an interview on Tuesday with The Associated Press, the pontiff, who has frequently criticized the arms industry, was asked about the large number of guns in civilian hands and frequent massacres in the United States. Francis expressed concern about how recourse to guns has become "habit."
"I say when you have to defend yourself, all that's left is to have the elements to defend yourself. Another thing is how that need to defend oneself lengthens, lengthens, and becomes a habit,'' Francis said. "Instead of making the effort to help us live, we make the effort to help us kill."
Francis has denounced the arms industry as trafficking in death. Francis said he wants to draw attention to the problem by saying: "Please, let's say something that will stop this."
The AP asked the question about the proliferation of guns among civilians after recent days saw several shootings, including in California.
Here are some other key takeaways from the interview.
ON 'PATIENCE' WITH CHINA
Saying "we must walk patiently in China," Pope Francis views continued dialogue with Beijing as the guiding principle in his efforts to safeguard his flock, who are a small minority in the Asian nation.
The AP asked what comes next in the diplomatic overtures between the countries.
"We are taking steps," Francis replied. "Each case (of a bishop's nomination) is looked at with a magnifying lens." The pontiff added that "that's the main thing, the dialogue doesn't break."
As for Chinese authorities, "sometimes they are a little closed, sometimes not," Francis said.
The pope sidestepped a question about how the Vatican's relationship with Taiwan affects the dialogue. The Holy See is one of the few states to maintain formal ties with Taiwan instead of with China.
Francis has been criticized by more conservative factions of the Catholic Church for a 2018 agreement with Beijing over the appointment of bishops in China, given how that country's Communist authorities have at times imprisoned priests. Among his harshest critics is Cardinal Joseph Zen, the bishop emeritus of Hong Kong.
In the interview, Francis called Zen, who is 91, a "charming old man," and a "tender soul." He recounted how, when the cardinal came to Rome this month for the funeral of Pope Benedict XVI, the pontiff invited him to the Vatican hotel where Francis lives. In front of the pope's private study is a statue depicting Our Lady of Sheshan. Francis said when the cardinal saw it, "he began to cry, like a child."
Zen was arrested last year after he fell afoul of Hong Kong authorities over his participation in a now-silenced democracy movement.
ON HOMOSEXUALITY
Pope Francis has stepped up his criticism of discrimination against members of the LGBTQ community. He called laws criminalizing homosexuals unjust but reiterated Catholic Church teaching that homosexual activity is sinful.
Bantering with himself, Francis articulated the position: "It's not a crime. Yes, but it's a sin. Fine, but first let's distinguish between a sin and a crime."
ON PAPAL HEALTH AND RETIREMENT
The 86-year-old pontiff was asked to assess his health.
"I'm in good health. For my age, I'm normal. I might die tomorrow, but I am under control. I always ask for the grace the Lord will give me a sense of humor," he said.
His predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, was the first pontiff in 600 years to resign. Following Benedict's death, Francis was also asked about the need for rules for any future retirement.
"After some more experience ... then it could be more regularized or regulated," he said. "But for the moment it hasn't occurred to me."
ON SEX ABUSE CRISIS
The pope suggested that East Timor's Nobel Peace Prize-winning independence hero was indeed allowed to retire early rather than face prosecution or punishment following sex abuse allegations.
Francis also denied he had a role in deciding the case of a famous Jesuit artist whose seemingly preferential treatment cast doubt on the Vatican's commitment to cracking down on abuse.
He acknowledged the Catholic Church still had a long way to go to deal with the problem.
ON GERMAN CHURCH REFORM EFFORT
The pontiff warned there's a risk that a reform process in the German Catholic Church over calls for married priests and other possible liberalizing moves might become harmfully "ideological."

Iran, OPEC's third-largest producer, has blamed Trump for oil price hikes, but the US president has pointed the finger at OPEC and called on the oil-producing body to boost output.
Trump wants to tame down fuel costs ahead of tough congressional elections on November 6.
Elsewhere in his interview, bin Salman claimed that the recent rise in oil prices was not due to Iran.
The Saudi crown prince further noted that Saudi Arabia is now pumping about 10.7 million barrels per day and can add a further 1.3 million "if the market needs that."
The Trump administration is considering waivers on sanctions it will reimpose on Iran oil exports, a US government official says.

Will The Final Season of 'The Mindy Project' Redefine What "Having It All" Really Means?
By Lea Palmieri Twitter @littleleap Sep 12, 2017 at 11:05am
Where to Stream:
It turns out marriage isn't so great when you were hesitant about getting married in the first place. This is what The Mindy Project teaches us in its sixth and final season, which finds Mindy (Mindy Kaling) married to the handsome, yet just maybe not "The One" Ben (Bryan Greenberg). Is it this particular marriage that's not right for our favorite fashionista and business owner, or is the entire institution just not the right fit for her after all? This is what the final installment of the comedy series sets out to discover, and perhaps in the process, will redefine what "having it all" truly means — and not just for Mindy.
I know, that sounds like a hefty undertaking, but for real, let's remember who Dr. Mindi Lahiri is: she's an OBGYN that started her own fertility business, a single mom to adorable son Leo, a great friend, a decent co-worker to most, and a stylish, rom-com-loving lady that's put herself out there all over town and dated some of the hottest men NYC has ever seen. She can do anything, including changing her mind and our minds about what it means to be a working woman, a good mom, and a lady that just needs to get hers from time to time. So where will we land in season 6? Has Mindy already found her "happy ending?" Or will she go to a shady massage parlor for that?
Perhaps she won't have to go that far; from the pics she's shared on set, it looks like The Mindy Project won't be going out without at least one more visit from some of her favorite gentleman friends, including Pastor Casey (Anders Holm), the Deslauriers (Jay and Mark Duplass), and of course, Danny himself (Chris Messina). And thank goodness for that! Mindy has always been at her very best when she's playing with the guys. So what could a fairytale ending look for both Mindy Lahiri and her viewers? Well, it's probably different from what we've all imagined.
For starters, The Mindy Project has been sneakily anti-commitment over the course of its 5 seasons so far. Mindy and Danny never walked down the aisle, Colette (Fortune Feimster) ran out on her fiancée at the end of last season, and the current season finds Anna (Rebecca Rittenhouse) recovering from her recent divorce. Oh, and not to mention the fact that in the series' very first episode Mindy causes a commotion at her ex's (Bill Hader) wedding. Or that time Peter (Adam Pally) totally hooked up with the bride at Josh's (Tommy Dewey) wedding. Not a great track record when it comes to tying the knot. Sure, it can be played for comedy, but the show can also be make the point that sometimes a wedding, and a marriage, is not all it's cracked up to be, or what many women have dreamed about it being and meaning for them. Which is exactly what makes this show so important: Mindy and her cohorts have accomplished so much without leaning on the crutch of what traditional success, wedding and then baby, looks like.
There have been a handful of times where Mindy has chosen to follow both her head and her heart by ditching a guy for her job. It would be cliché to call her profession her one true love, but she is damn good at it, it gives her a sense of confidence, and she seems to thoroughly enjoy working with people to help them get pregnant and subsequently deliver their babies. Even in the order of her life, first came baby and then came business, with no wedding in sight until the end of season 5 (and even then we didn't get to see the low-key nuptials happen). She's got excellent friends, she's got the fulfilling mom life, and she can have pretty much any dude she wants (and in season 2, that included James Franco). If that's not a happy ending, then what is? Sure, it's unexpected that the woman who has seen every rom-com (that dares not end without someone taking a trip down the aisle in a white dress) and daydreams about her marriage moment not quite get that in the end. And maybe she will! Or has! But ultimately, she's OK with it all, and isn't that what matters most? Happy endings are about being flexible, welcoming the unexpected, and accepting a little bit of adjustment to your dreams, which is exactly what this lady has learned to do throughout the show.
Mindy has always been a fantastic example of what a modern woman is. She's ambitious, she's promiscuous, and she's conscientious — of herself. She cares about (some) others, too. But seriously, she's learned to put herself, and now her son, first, remaining unapologetic about what works best for them, accepting that she might hurt some feelings along the way. If the answer is not marriage, which, it might not be with Ben, or another dude, then Mindy will have no problem living by the advice, "Do you."
Ultimately, Mindy's happiest ending comes in the fact that she has grown as a woman while remaining true to herself (and her bear claws). Season 1 Mindy would say, "Damn!" to the Mindy we know at the beginning of season 6: an accomplished professional, a caring mom, and a gal who's got enviably hot notches on her bedpost. Notches that she's not placing all her hopes and dreams on or hopelessly depending on. And that is the ultimate happy ending.

Q: UITableView reloadData not updating UI, only after restart Running into a strange problem:
I have a TableViewController (call it recent tab) that is one of the tabs of a UITabBarController. I have items getting saved into sandbox (documents folder) in the first tab bar (browse tab). I am then pulling them out in the second tab bar (recent) and setting them up in cellForRowAtIndexPath.
Here's the strange behavior: while I'm in first view controller (browse) adding items to the sandbox, everything works fine. I open the second tab (recent) that is the TableViewController and I see the items appear there. Then I try to go back to the first controller (browse) to add more items and they do not appear (when I go back to recent).
However, when I relaunch the application, the items I selected the second time do show up (in recent)!
I have tried to call tableView reloadData in recent (practically everywhere I could). I have tried to call [tableView beginUpdates].
No change, table view (for recent) updates properly only after restart of application.
Any suggestions?

A: I believe the issue was that the CellForRowAtIndexPath did not have an array with indexes to pull items out of, therefore causing tableView to have issues calculating how many rows there are (read this in another SO thread).
The array has to already exist before CellForRowAtIndexPath is called, not be instantiated inside of it (could be passed to the class through a public api or instantiated in viewDidLoad for ex). Otherwise it will be instantiated every time CellForRowAtIndexPath is called and there will be no static index that could be used to create the cells.

A heritage trail celebrating the last royal family of the Punjab and their links to Norfolk has been launched.
The Essex Cultural Diversity Project (ECDP) has worked with the Thetford's Ancient House Museum and Sikh historians to create a heritage trail to commemorate the life the Maharajah Duleep Singh and his family's links to the county.
The trail will focus on places connected to the family and their contributions and achievements in Norfolk and Suffolk, starting in Thetford.
Visitors will also be taken to Old Buckenham, Hockwold, Breckles, and Walcott, where Prince Frederick Duleep Singh and his siblings resided.
As well as villages such as Bradley, Thompson, and Wymondham which benefited from the Prince's intervention by saving churches from closure.
Indi Sandhu, creative director of the ECDP, said: "The Maharajah Duleep Singh heritage trail will attract diverse audiences from all over UK and also attract interest in the Duleep Singh family and the contribution they made to the East Anglia Region."

Any paediatrician will tell you that anatomically and physiologically a child is not simply a small adult. It is for this reason that paramedics often find themselves uncomfortable treating children, because all of the normal physiological values differ and basic anatomical positioning must be changed to meet these differences. This page identifies the basic anatomical and physiological differences in children that paramedics should be aware of.
A child's airway is obviously much smaller than an adult, but the differences go further than basic size.
– An infant is an obligatory nose breather for the first 6 months, which means that a blocked nose can lead to respiratory failure!
– Infants have very short and softer tracheas than adults. This means that overextension during airway manoeuvres may result in airway collapse (not too dissimilar to kinking a narrow garden hose).
– Tonsils and adenoids grow disproportionately fast in children, making any inflammatory response more likely to compromise the movement of air. Tonsillitis can be a life threatening infection for a child as opposed to an annoyance to an adult.
– Infants have proportionately large heads, short necks and large tongues, which again, makes airway obstruction more likely.
– Both infants and even toddlers have a long and floppy epiglottis, which means more chance of airway obstruction.
Assessing a child's airway involves looking for patency. A crying or talking child indicates at least a certain amount of patency.
Airway manoeuvres in children should primarily include the head tilt-chin lift technique and avoid overextension of the neck.
– A child has much small upper and lower airways which results in a great chance of respiratory difficulties and failure.
– Infants are abdominal breathers who rely primarily on the muscles of the diaphragm. This means abdominal distension can lead to respiratory problems.
– The immature muscles associated with respiration, such as the diaphragm, intercostal muscles and sternocleidomastoid are more likely to fatigue.
– The respiratory centre is relatively immature. This means that neonates and young infants have irregular respirations and are at a greater risk of apnoea. Many neonates will literally feed and forget to breathe.
– Nasal flaring and head bobbing in children infants with respiratory distress.
– Chest wall recession indicates severe respiratory effort.
– Tracheal tug, which is identified by a downward pull of the trachea during inspiration.
– Sternal recession, which is associated with severe respiratory distress.
– Grunting is a sound made by neonates and associated with expiration against partially closed vocal cords is a sign of severe respiratory distress.
– Gasping is a sign of severe hypoxia and is often pre-terminal or respiratory arrest.
Remember, children have underdeveloped muscles associated with respiration and are consequently more prone to fatigue.
Children generally have very good cardiovascular health. This enables them to compensate well for circulatory problems such as hypervolemia and dehydration. There will rarely be a change in a child's blood pressure until it is about to have a cardiac arrest.
The heart rate of a child makes a better diagnostic tool.
Tachycardia is a sign of hypervolemia, and although the heart muscle is capable of prolonged rates in excess of 200 beats per minute, if the cause of the hypervolemia is not detected and treated, the child will eventually become bradycardic and have a cardiac arrest.
Bradycardia is a pre-terminal event in children.
A child's behaviour and general appearance needs to be assessed during a neurological assessment. A child's behaviour should be compared to what is normal for that child. Use the parents and ask them to compare the child's presentation with his or her normal general appearance.
– An infant will normally track their eyes to follow motion.
Neonates and infants lose heat more rapidly than adults because the surface area on their heads is larger by comparison to their body mass. Also, young children have an undeveloped hypothalamus, which means that their ability to regulate temperature is impaired.


Set up a new blind today!!!!
I have a feeder right behind the house. It's kind of open there, but I like watching the deer from the porch. Last year I set up a tripod as close as I could, but the only cover I could put it in was for a north wind.
So today, I was sitting around doing nothing, and decided to make a south wind setup for this area. I already had the homemade blind, so got all the pieces and put it together in between 2 cedar trees.
I think it came out real good, and hope the deer get used to it pretty fast. The first 3 bucks that came in freaked when they saw it and ran off!
I think it should be OK though, with almost 3 months to go till the season opens.
Now I have to decide whether I want to move the feeder closer to it, or just hand corn it???
That will work. I'd move the feeder you have plenty of time for them to,get use to it.
Bet that'll work just fine!
Should work, they'll get used to it!
That looks good, glad the tree worked out so good for you.
Heck of a lot better than even a high dollar pop up.
Thanks everybody! The first deer that freaked out came back and made it to the feeder. They didn't stay long though. I bet they will get used to it real fast!!!
They will. I have a couple that I brushed in to start with, but after a couple years they don't pay much attention to them.
Give them a few days to get use to it then move the feeder closer.
Looks nice.... I'd just hand corn and put out a lot of corn, they will learn to love it.
They will get used to it in no time. In our neck of the woods the deer seem to prefer hand corn over deer feeders. If it's near the feeder, my vote is hand corn.
Looks good buddy! Last year my deer had an uncanny ability to find the hand corn. They would be on it before daylight. The deer in the feeder pen would come to the hand corn after a short time in the pen. See ya Saturday!
Looks great. I set up a double bull once and when the first doe came around a corner, abruptly stopped, looked at the blind and took off. I could hear her blowing for a mile. Don't know if she ever came back but her buddies did.
They will be there before you know it. Best of luck.
Looks great Bisch, I think I'd just hand corn near the blind, they'll never even look at the blind in a week....good luck, looks like a killer spot.
Could hardly recognize the thing. Looks good!
Will you put lights and ornaments on it after Thanksgiving?
Nice setup Bisch. Do you have shoot through windows or open closers on that blind?
I bet the critters would enjoy a little holiday decorations!!!!!
Shoot thru mesh in all the windows on all my blinds!!!!
Looks tall enough to shoot canted 68 inchers out of - very nice.
Looks awesome! Pour a sack of corn out on the ground right in front of the blind. The deer will make friends with it in no time.
You would not have to cant it at all if you did not want to!
Funny you should say this! I went out this afternoon and threw a bunch of hand corn out from 8yds to about 13yds. Later on this evening, I had one buck under the feeder (about 25-30yds away), and 6 bucks all in the hand corn!!! That feeder has been running there for over a year, and this is the first day for hand corn off to the side.
I think I'll just leave everything the way it is and keep hand corning it!
Last edited by Bisch; 07-10-2018 at 10:04 PM.
On our place the does go to the hand corn first. I like them close like that.
out of your trad bow?
Looks good, but why all the extra work? You had two cedars right there..
The work was worth the protection from the elements, and freedom of movement!!!
Does the shoot through mesh affect arrow flight at all out of your trad bow?
Not at all, as long as your setup is well tuned, and you don't shoot they it at real hard angles!
Maybe one morning or evening (when it's not too hot) you could do a little photo safari sit in that great blind and post some views of what comes in and at what distances. Could be fun and instructive. You could even suggest shooting angles for new hunters. Also like to see the inside and how you have things set up. Thanks.
Check out the picture I just posted on the Krivoman thread. I buy the mesh from Double bull blinds, stretch it tight and screw it down. Does not effect arrow flight and as long as the sunlight is not shining directly on the mesh they will not see you. I've tested it by standing up and waving at deer right outside the window. Of course you have to use cut on contact broadheads.
Heck of a idea I like it !
nothing like walking from your house to hunt!

The cutting-edge frigate Admiral Kasatonov under construction for the Russian Navy at the St. Petersburg-based Severnaya Verf Shipyard will enter sea trials in early December 2018, the Shipyard's press office reported on Tuesday.
"The Project 22350 first serial-produced frigate Fleet Admiral Kasatonov is preparing for the first stage of shipbuilders' sea trials in early December. Now the Shipyard's delivery team and the crew are making final preparations for the ship's first departure for sea," the press office said in a statement.
During three weeks, the shipbuilders will check all the frigate's systems: the propulsion unit (including the operation of the main engines in various modes) and electric equipment, navigation, communications, rescue, survivability, ventilation and air conditioning systems, its speed, maneuverability and stability for their compliance with the Project's requirements. The program of trials also envisages artillery and missile fire.
The warship may enter state trials already next summer, the press office said.
"Thanks to the fact that the Project's flagship, the frigate Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Gorshkov has passed the fullest and the detailed program of trials, we plan to pass the program of shipbuilders' sea trials with the first serial-produced Kasatonov much quicker. I believe that three weeks after its departure for sea, it will already return to the Shipyard from the first stage of shipbuilders' sea trials. We are now working closely with the Severnoye Design Bureau, the project's developer, to verify all the elements of the program of trials and we will take all the efforts to ensure that the ship leaves for state trials in summer," the press office quoted Shipyard CEO Igor Ponomaryov as saying.
The frigate Fleet Admiral Kasatonov is the second (the first serial-produced) Project 22350 warship. The Project was developed by the Severnoye Design Bureau. The lead warship of this series, the Admiral Gorshkov, was delivered to the Navy in the summer of 2018 and the construction of two more frigates (the Admiral Golovko and the Admiral Isakov) continues at the slipways of the Severnaya Verf Shipyard in St. Petersburg.

Celebrating a variety of learning
On Thursday, April 12, the Rowenhorst Student Center will be holding a Celebration of Research. This event is a unique opportunity for 60 students from Northwestern to showcase their academic work and research. The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
"At a small liberal arts college like NW, you are just as likely to see a star point guard present her research on SEA-PHAGES as you are a political science and history major who can throw a curve-ball on the outside corner," Vice President of Academic Affairs Mark Husbands said.
While athletes perform for large, enthusiastic crowds who cheer them on to victory, students' scholarship and learning is often rather a private and quiet pursuit. The Celebration of Research is a way of changing this.
"It is an opportunity to encourage students to perform academically at a high level," Husbands said. "Such an event provides faculty, students, staff, townsfolk and the Board of Trustees with the opportunity to honor and learn from many of our most gifted students."
The Celebration of Research is a relatively new contribution to the life and public witness of the college. For one day the RSC will be filled with tables, posters and students who are eager to share what they have learned and have been working on. With 2018 being the second year, the Celebration of Research is showing signs of growth.
While last year's celebration featured various students working in the areas of art, biology, chemistry, English, mathematics, religion and more, this year's celebration has expanded to include student research in 17 different majors including athletic training, public relations, sociology and translation and interpretation.
There will be a vast array of projects on display including "Digital Literacy in the Era of Fake News: The Evolution of Persuasion," "Mentalizing, mysticism, and absorption: How our minds believe in God" and "Annotation of Three Novel Soil Mycobacteriophages: Sibs6, Roots515, and CHorch11." Others are "Computer Math Games vs. Paper-based Intervention Games: Effects on Addition Fact Fluency for Second Grade Students" and "Campaign Finance and Corporate First Amendment Protection," along with many more.
Husbands thinks it is very important for students to come see what their peers have to present.
"One of the secrets to a full and meaningful life is showing up for friends when they are involved in a meaningful event of one kind or another," Husbands said.
He also says that the Celebration of Research pertains to everyone who attends.
"This is an opportunity to see, hear, learn from and celebrate the hard work of your fellow students," Husbands said. "At the same time, students can receive a greater sense of what they can accomplish next year in their classes and research."
Everyone needs models and examples to follow, which is why NW has chosen various students from a number of majors to attend this celebration, providing others with a wide range of options to consider for future years.
Join around 60 NW students on April 12 as they present their projects at the Celebration of Research.

Western Sydney University, formerly the University of Western Sydney, is an Australian multi-campus university in the Greater Western region of Sydney. It is a provider of undergraduate, postgraduate and higher research degrees with campuses in Bankstown, Blacktown, Campbelltown, Hawkesbury, Parramatta, and Penrith. It is currently ranked in the top 400 in the world in the 2019 THE World University Rankings and 19th in Australia in 2019.
The University consists of an amalgamation of campuses, each with their own unique and individual history. In 1891, the Hawkesbury campus was established as an agricultural college by the NSW Agricultural Society. At Parramatta, Western Sydney University owns and has renovated the Female Orphan School building, the foundation stone of which was laid by Governor Lachlan Macquarie in 1813. In 1987 the New South Wales Labor government planned to name the university Chifley University, after the former Labor Prime Minister, Ben Chifley. However, in 1989, a new Liberal government reversed this decision and controversially named it the University of Western Sydney.
In 1989, teachers' colleges and Colleges of Advanced Education in Sydney's western suburbs were given university status under the University of Western Sydney Act of 1988. The 1990s saw the federation of three education providers: UWS Nepean, UWS Hawkesbury and UWS Macarthur. 1989 was the year the Hawke federal labour government introduced HECS, the Higher Education Contribution Scheme. The University has a legislative basis in NSW state legislation with the passing of the University of Western Sydney Act (NSW) 1997, which also empowers the university to make by-laws affecting the operation of the university. In 2000, in order to reduce administrative expenses and duplication of courses offered by the inner Sydney universities and to eliminate competition between Western Sydney University member institutions, Western Sydney University became one multi-campus university.
Western Sydney University, Sydney City Campus offers students a choice of undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in business, arts, communication, engineering, IT, and health disciplines. The Sydney City Campus brings the same Western Sydney University experience to the city, where you study the same units and course materials, receiving the exact same qualifications as if you were to study on any of the other campuses.

Chance to be crowned most talented act in the area as Fenland Has Talent 2011 launched
IT'S time for the area's most talented stars to step-up and show case their skills as the search for this year's Fenland Has Talent winner begins.
We're encouraging all performers - whether established or up-and-coming - to get involved and stake their claim to be crowned Fenland's most talented act of 2011.
Whether your talent is singing, dancing, acting, juggling, playing instruments - or any other performing skill - we want the public to see just how gifted you are.

Q: Find duplicates in multiple sheets I want to find if there are duplicates in 2 sheets.
Example 1 (This works for this sheet):
Function FindDuplicate(factnr) As Boolean

    With Worksheets("Sheet 1").Range("D6:D206")

        Set C = .Find(factnr, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, MatchCase:=False)
        If Not C Is Nothing Then
            FindDuplicate = True
            Exit Function
        End If
    End With

    FindDuplicate = False
End Function

Example 2 (this is what I want to accomplish [mock code], the function checking two sheets)
Function FindDuplicate(factnr) As Boolean

   With Worksheets("Sheet 1").Range("D6:D206") & ("Sheet 2").Range("D6:D206")

     Set C = .Find(factnr, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, MatchCase:=False)
     If Not C Is Nothing Then
         FindDuplicate = True
         Exit Function
     End If
   End With

   FindDuplicate = False
End Function

A: You can't join ranges like that, you need to search each seperately
Function FindDuplicate(factnr) As Boolean

 With Worksheets("Sheet 1").Range("D6:D206")

     Set C = .Find(factnr, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, MatchCase:=False)
     If Not C Is Nothing Then
        FindDuplicate = True
        Exit Function
      End If
End With
     With Worksheets("Sheet 2").Range("D6:D206")

     Set C = .Find(factnr, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, MatchCase:=False)
     If Not C Is Nothing Then
        FindDuplicate = True
        Exit Function
      End If
End With

FindDuplicate = False
End Function

Cloudy skies at sunset can be the best or the worst conditions for a great photo. The day after I took this photograph it was cloudy, but the clouds didn't light up ... producing a *blah* sunset. This photo was taken from Bryce Point in Bryce Canyon National Park, which is a great place to observe the fascinating hoodoos and capture cloudy sunsets.


CITA is glad to send you below the invitation to attend the presentation of the SET Project – Sustainable Emissions Testing.
Vehicle manufacturers and suppliers are making big efforts to produce cleaner vehicles both to give an answer to the requirements of society and to fulfil approval standards.
In order to ensure that the negative impact on the environment and health is as low as possible and to improve air quality sustainably, it is crucial to keep the benefit of the new vehicles' design during their whole life. This means that malfunctions of the emission system has to be detected during the periodic emission test and eliminated immediately. CITA has undertaken the SET Project – Sustainable Emission Testing with the aim of assessing available approaches of in-use vehicle testing and to adapt vehicle inspection techniques to new and stricter pollutant emission thresholds.
Six were the countries involved (Belgium, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden) and more than 3.000 vehicles have been tested on the field over one year.
The event will commence with the SET project presentation from 17h30 and will be followed by a cocktail.
We would like to ask you kindly to confirm whether your participation no later than September 11th at secretariat@citainsp.org.
Please notice that the number of attendants is limited.


The past few years, I have not received an invitation, whether for a birthday, wedding, or christening, without the acronym R.S.V.P followed by a phone number and a name.
The Best: You confirmed your attendance, you actually came, and you arrived on time! Wooohooo! Thank you!
The Good: You'd rather be somewhere else other than the party, and you were decent enough to tell the host you are not coming. Clap your hands!
The Bad: You have no plans of going and you don't care if you leave the host wondering if you will show up or not.
The Ugly: Confirmed you will attend (sure, we will be there :-) with a smiley pa!) and then you don't show up.
The Foul & Ugly: You said you will attend, you didn't show up, and you didn't even bother to tell the host you are not coming anymore. No apologies for not making it, not a tinge of regret at all for making someone wait.
The point I am driving at is that RSVP is not a decoration; it's not to make the invites more appealing or to announce to everyone the host/hostess' phone number. It's there for a purpose. Whether the guest doesn't know what RSVP means or just plain rude is beyond me. All I am saying is that if one cannot attend the event be kind enough to inform the host.
easier. It's not like you have to walk 3 kilometers or use an owl to send your "I'm sorry I cannot come". It just takes a few thumbwork to send an sms, a click of a button to send an email. I don't think that will send anyone huffing and puffing and sweating?
I hope when people get an invitation to a party, they immediately think that the host did not send that out of whim, tables have been reserved, not the entire barangay were invited, and YOU were invited because you are someone special to the host.
Kung El Shaddai prayer meeting ito, keri lang diba? Libre entrance sa Grandstand.

Rex Homan: Raven Dreaming
Black Oystercatchers
by Rex Homan
Medium: kauri, paint, ink, plastic eyes, metal connections, base acrylic / MDF
Size: 9 × 23 × 11 inches (incl. base)
Reference Code: KRX111102
"These are favourite birds of mine with their speedy trotting gait, the groups standing in military formation into the wind, some on one leg. I remember my dog, Sheena, chasing them across sandbanks, being teased and never succeeding in keeping pace."
The oystercatcher is a quick moving bird usually seen in flocks feeding at low tide on sandy beaches and river mud banks. The oystercatcher has access to valuable knowledge because of its ability to move swiftly between the sky, earth and sea kingdoms. The oystercatcher is also portrayed as a rattle and is a definitive spiritual object used in shamanic ceremonies amongst the northern Northwest Coast nations. The oystercatcher with its long curved neck and long beak becomes the basic body form of the rattle and is then decorated with entwined figures representing communication across the different realms of the world.

MARY GANDSEY, RESTORER OF WOOD
THE GREENE & GREENE-DESIGNED GAMBLE HOUSE, PASADENA, CA.
Native Angelena Mary Gandsey was born in Long Beach and moved to Altadena in 1984.
She earned a BA in Psychology from UCLA in 1968, did a few odd jobs, had a child, and needed to go back to work shortly afterward. "As a kid, I used to help my dad with little projects around the house. I'm a person who needs to move in my work. So I decided that I really wanted to do something in construction, maybe a carpenter."
A neighbor's mother, a realtor, was hiring people to do some painting on a spec house. Around 1981, Gandsey ended up being part of that first crew.
Her next job was at an 1868 Victorian on Huntington Drive originally owned by the Rose family, after whom the city of Rosemead is named. The new owners hired Gandsey to do some of the paint removal. "I learned a lot from the wife, along with some of the others there who were doing wood stripping and refinishing."
From thereon in, she more or less trained herself. If she had a question she'd ask at the paint store. The owner of the Rose family house knew the owner of the Charles Greene house, of the iconic American Arts and Crafts architecture firm Greene & Greene.
One thing led to another. Gandsey had found her vocation.
"I've worked on a lot of really wonderful homes, architected homes from the turn of the last century."
Typically, such homes have lots of wood trim and built-in cabinets that over the years have been painted: doorjambs and casings, baseboards, picture moldings, crown moldings, windows, drawers, doors, cabinets.
Gandsey does all of it. She's currently on an 8-month job at a huge, three-bedroom Craftsman in Altadena.
Different woods have unique qualities. Each wood has its own personality, properties that are unchangeable. Fir is a heavy wood with a flame-like grain and a red undertone. It's very splintery, which can be a problem.
Cedar has a similar grain but the flame is more rounded. The color is blond, much lighter than fir, and it has that wonderful fragrance.
"Recently I've been working on gum wood, eucalyptus. It has a very interesting grain, mostly light in color, but surprising streaks of dark that come out of nowhere and disappear. It's gorgeous and I really love it. Very easy to work with, easy to sand, doesn't splinter. Same with oak and mahogany."
She uses a heat gun to remove the bulk of the paint. A chemical, either methyline chloride, or a newer non-toxic stripper called Citrus Strip, takes care of any remaining residue.
"It's like being an archeologist. When you remove the paint you can often see shadows of moldings that have been removed: a plate rail, for example, or a picture molding."
After getting all of the paint off, she does a light sanding with 220 or 330 grit sandpaper, then stains the wood, and applies two coats of finish.
"I'm partial to tung oil varnish, which penetrates the wood and still has a very nice satin finish. Satin is more appropriate I think than semi-gloss for Craftsman houses."
Those are the broad outlines but the work is painstaking. Any holes or places where the wood has splintered are filled with putty that's carefully matched to the color of the grain. Analine dyes, which are able to penetrate the grain of the wood and color it, are sometimes used instead of oil-based stains. Gandsey is constantly keeping up with new products, formulas, and VOC (Volative Organic Compound) regulations.
She doesn't advertise. All her work—and there is plenty of it—comes through word of mouth.
"It's kind of an old-school, Old World craft. At times, I've had so much work that I hired someone to help me. I've learned you have to have a vocabulary for what I do and if you don't have the experience you don't really understand the patience required."
Gandsey isn't the type who's likely to think: That's good enough. "I'm a 95-98% detail person. A single door, for example, would probably take 14-16 hours to remove paint to the finished product. That's why I get these jobs."
In trying to train people for the work, she's learned that each person has his or her own skills and niche. Some people's eyesight or hearing is better. Whether by instinct or training, she herself has a fine sense of touch, so even with a vinyl glove she can tell whether the surface is sufficiently smooth.
Wood refinishers don't get plaques, but there's a sense of contributing to the community and of permanence that's hard to define.
"It's a privilege to work on these houses that most people don't get to see." Gandsey has also worked on both the Gamble House and Castle Green, two crown jewels of historic Pasadena architecture.
"It's been an interesting trip. It's so satisfying. When I look at this wood that's been covered for 80 years and take the paint off, I feel like it's thanking me, it can breathe again. It's been suffocated for all this time. Wood is a living thing. It needs to be nurtured and fed and taken care of."
"The work I've done makes me feel that my life has been worthwhile."

Philip Pullman releases first book in a new fantasy trilogy
October 27, 2017 October 27, 2017 / stelsinkins
LA Belle Sauvage, the first book in Philip Pullman's new trilogy of fantasy novels, The Book of Dust, went on sale on October 19, writes ESTELLE SINKINS.
A companion series to the His Dark Materials trilogy, the first novel is set 10 years before Northern Lights (known as The Golden Compass in North America and some other countries) and centres on Lyra Belacqua, one of the protagonists of the original trilogy.
Alethiometers, dæmons and the Magisterium return, alongside new characters, including 11-year-old Malcolm Polstead and his dæmon, Asta.
The fantasy is also very topical. It deals with the struggle between a despotic and totalitarian organisation that wants to stifle speculation and enquiry, and those who believe that thought and speech should be free.
The book has been a long time coming for fans. Pullman first conceived The Book of Dust in 2003.
"I know from their letters and tweets that my readers have been waiting patiently (mostly) for The Book of Dust for a long time," he said.
"I've been writing it for several years, and I've been very parsimonious with information about it. It gives me great pleasure, and some excitement, at last to satisfy their curiosity (and mine) about this book."
The author said Lyra remained at the centre of his new story, adding: "I've always wanted to tell the story of how Lyra came to be living at Jordan College and, in thinking about it, I discovered a long story that began when she was a baby and will end when she's grown up.
"This volume and the next will cover two parts of Lyra's life, starting at the beginning of her story and returning to her 20 years later.
"I've hugely enjoyed getting to know the new characters, seeing Lyra again, and exploring the world(s) they live in. I've loved watching the story expand across the years, and take me to places I'd never dreamed of. As for future volumes, my lips are sealed."
Pullman always thought Lyra was an interesting character, but never thought fans of the series would be so captivated by her.
"The thing about Lyra is that she's not a special child. She's not especially gifted or talented — she's a very ordinary child," he said.
"When I was a teacher, I taught many girls who were like Lyra. They were brave, inquisitive, curious, disobedient: all those interesting things for storytellers.
"I think the reason that people have read this long and complicated story is because they're with Lyra.
"She doesn't know the things that are threatening her and she's in the same position as the reader, because the reader shares her sense of danger and excitement and curiosity about what's going to happen next.
"I hope the same thing will be true of Malcolm in La Belle Sauvage."
The Book of Dust novels will be jointly published by Random House Children's and David Fickling Books in the United Kingdom, and by Random House Children's Books in the US.
The cover for the first book was illustrated by Chris Wormell, who specialises in linocuts and wood engraving, as well as illustration.

Anyone caught continuing the practice will face "stern penalties."
Today, South Korea announced a ban on initial coin offerings (ICO), the method through which many cryptocurrency startups raise funds. As reported by Reuters, the ban comes after the Financial Services Commission (FSC) in Seoul ultimately decided ICOs need to be controlled and monitored before being widely accepted.
The FSC's concerns aren't entirely unfounded. Cryptocurrencies have been used to raise a significant amount of money for legitimate operations this year, but they've also been used in phishing scams and other cyber crimes.
"Raising funds through ICOs seem to be on the rise globally, and our assessment is that ICOs are increasing in South Korea as well," South Korea's financial regulator wrote in a statement, adding that "stern penalties" would befall anyone that continues to issue ICOs. The details of those penalties were not revealed, however.
South Korea's announcement follows a similar decision made by China earlier this month, though that ban may be temporary. The U.S., Canada, and Hong Kong have also issued warnings about ICOs, but none have outright banned the practice.
According to Bloomberg, digital currencies like bitcoin and ether experienced a small drop in price following the ban — 5.7 percent for ether and 3.5 percent for bitcoin — but both have already recovered.
Thomas Glucksmann, head of marketing at bitcoin exchange company Gatecoin, told Bloomberg a drop in value following such an announcement is to be expected, as traders in crypto markets would immediately turn to selling off the currencies.
South Korea notes that the ban doesn't mean it accepts the trading of cryptocurrencies within the financial market. For now, the nation will continue to observe operations to see what other regulations can or should be implemented. That said, it's currently unclear how, exactly, the country would attempt to regulate crypto.
