Growing concern over the petroleum supply, energy independence, and environmental impacts associated with fossil fuels, has motivated research into the production of renewable fuels and aromatic chemicals from biomass resources. Specifically, furan-based feedstocks such as furfural, 2-methylfuran (MF) and, 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) can be derived from biomass and used to produce a wide variety of desired compounds. These furan-based feedstocks are produced by: (a) the hydrolysis of cellulose and hemicellulose form to glucose and xylose, (b) the dehydration of these carbohydrates to form 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural, and (c) the reduction of HMF and furfural to DMF, MF, and furan.
The use of a continuous electrocatalytic membrane reactor presents a novel method of selectively hydrogenating furfural at low temperatures without the use of gaseous hydrogen. Conversion of acetone to isopropanol confirmed that the rate of hydrogenation using gaseous hydrogen is comparable to the rate of hydrogenation using water electrolysis. Evaluation of the electrocatalytic hydrogenation of furfural demonstrated an ability to control product selectivity beyond the capability of conventional catalysis. Results indicate that production of renewable "electrofuels" in a PEM reactor, utilizing water electrolysis in the place of hydrogen gas, is a viable alternative to conventional methods.
Diels-Alder cycloaddition of furan-based compounds and ethylene is a promising method of sustainably producing valuable base chemicals. Specific molecules of interest include p-xylene, the feedstock for polyethylene terephthalate (PET); toluene, an important monomer for polyurethane; and benzene, a precursor for polystyrene. The reaction proceeds via a [4+2] Diels-Alder cycloaddition of the furan feedstock and ethylene to produce an oxa-norbornene intermediate, and the subsequent dehydration of the intermediate to form the desired aromatic. 90% selectivity to p-xylene from DMF and 46% selectivity to toluene from MF were achieved over an H-BEA catalyst. Analysis of the reaction rate as a function of catalyst loading revealed two distinct kinetic regimes, whose activation energies correspond with DFT calculated energy barriers for dehydration and cycloaddition rate-limiting steps. Additionally, the reaction network for the MF/ethylene system was expanded to include MF polymers and two isomers of incomplete cycloadduct dehydration. Results demonstrate the complex nature of these reactions and the effect of reaction temperature, catalyst type and loading, and furan feedstock on the product distribution.

The Fire Records Management System (FRMS) is a Fire Incident records program.
Currently there are 2 fire agencies using this program, with 4 additional agencies going live Jan 1, 2013. As fire/EMS respond to Calls for Service, report data feeds into FRMS. The agency is then able to grab that data and complete the Incident/Run information.
Unlike LRMS, this is not a shared database; the data is not accessible by any other agency using FRMS.
This program also allows for the export of data for NFIRS Reporting.

Q: Apple Preview resets notes and highlighting on a PDF. How do I recover them? I ended up having exactly the problem described here: I was highlighting and taking notes on a PDF file with macOS 10.14 Apple Preview and I realised only yesterday after finishing studying a university pdf that the last version of the file has only saved the highlighting of the last chapter of the pdf.
The thing is that in Time Machine previous file saves actually do have previous notes and highlighting, it is just that every file save only has a portion of around 50~70 pages of saved edits, while previous edits disappear and the file looks like as if I started highlighting from page 50, and then from page 100 and so on...
I could theorically save duplicates of each edited version and then remove "cleaned up" pages to recover with the ones from a previously saved version, but my philosophy is that we use computers to help us, not to help the computer, is there any way to do that edit-recovery automatically?
Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening again? It's the first time I can't trust preview to save my notes.

Video: Fliptrix - It's Like That (@MrFliptrix @Joe_Corfield @UbuvGround)
UK Hip Hop legend Fliptrix releases the track and visual for latest single 'It's Like That'.
The first insight in to what is destined to be a mighty album, 'It's Like That' is plucked from his forthcoming album project 'Inexhale'.
A no holds barred lyrical shelldown from start to finish over an incredibly smooth Joe Corfield production, 'It's Like That' is the return to the airwaves for Fliptrix who released his immaculate 'Patterns Of Escapism' LP over a year ago. A word play masterpiece that sits in a dreamlike haze, 'It's Like That' continues to show the multifaceted depths of Fliptrix as the track sees him begin to experiment with varying styles and rhythms that are a step away from his usual boom-bap style; something that is an on-going recurrence throughout the album as a whole, which Fliptrix describes as "a breath of fresh air that will hit you like a hurricane."
As a South London rapper, Fliptrix has become a pioneer and integral part of the UKHH scene. Releasing an impressive 7 projects since 2007, he is also a member of super group The Four Owls, who dropped 2 of the most classic records in UK Hip Hop history ('Natures Greatest Mystery' in 2011 & 'Natural Order' in 2015), have successfully toured the world numerous times and collaborated with the legend DJ Premier on the monumental 'Think Twice' single.
Alongside his artist success, Fliptrix is also the founder and director of independent label 'High Focus', which has spearheaded the UK Hip Hop movement for the last 8 years, being responsible for releases such as Rag'n'Bone Man's early projects which set him firmly on course for superstardom, and most recently achieving an independent Top 40 with Ocean Wisdom's Wizville album earlier this year. The label, which began in 2010, has previously been nominated for best small label at the 2015 AIM awards, whilst its YouTube channel HighFocusTV has gained over 132 Million views and boasts almost 250,000 subscribers.
Continuing his independent reign, Fliptrix releases 'It's Like That' via High Focus with the video launching via YouTube. The visuals pay homage to the pirate radio scene that had a huge part to play in the birth & incubation of urban music in the UK as they follow Fliptrix taking over London's radio frequencies guerrilla warfare style. The creative visuals wrap perfectly around the sonics and tone of the record thanks to camera focus, lighting and edits making this piece of original, captivating and quality output a real statement for the 'Inexhale' album announcement.

Director's Interim Guidance
Regarding Tax Information
Under 11 U.S.C. § 521
Section 315(c) of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (the Act) mandates that the Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts establish procedures for safeguarding the confidentiality of tax information required to be provided under 11 U.S.C. § 521. In accordance with the Act, the Director provides the following guidance on procedures to protect a debtor's tax information.
I. No tax information filed with the bankruptcy court or otherwise provided by the debtor will be available to the public via the Internet, PACER, or CM/ECF.
In order for tax information to be electronically entered into a court's CM/ECF system, the "tax information" event must be selected from the CM/ECF event list. The "tax information" event limits access to the filed tax information to those users assigned "court" logins (i.e., judicial officers and court employees). All other users (including PACER users) will be limited to viewing a docket event on the docket report indicating that tax information has been filed. These other users will not be able to open and view the tax information.
II. Debtors providing tax information under 11 U.S.C. § 521 should redact personal information as set forth in the Judicial Conference's Policy on Privacy and Public Access to Electronic Case Files.
All tax information provided in accordance with section 521 of the Bankruptcy Code is subject to the Judicial Conference of the United States Policy on Privacy and Public Access to Electronic Case Files http://jnet.ao.dcn/it/ecf/privacy-policy.html ("JCUS policy") (JCUSSEP/OCT 01, pp. 49-50). In accordance with the JCUS policy, the debtor should take the following steps to redact personal identifiers in any tax information filed with the court or provided to the trustee or creditor(s), in either electronic or paper form:
Social Security numbers. If an individual's social security number is included, only the last four digits of that number should appear;
Names of minor children. If a minor child(ren) is/are identified by name, only the child(ren)'s initials should appear;
Dates of birth. If an individual's date of birth is included, only the year should appear; and
Financial account numbers. If financial account numbers are provided, only the last four digits of these numbers should appear.
Court employees are not responsible for redacting any of the personal identifying information. The responsibility for redacting personal identifiers rests solely with the debtor. The court should make this Interim Guidance, implementing the JCUS policy, available to the public and members of the local bar.
III. Procedure for requesting and obtaining access to tax information filed with the bankruptcy court under 11 U.S.C. § 521(f).
To gain access to a debtor's tax information under 11 U.S.C. § 521(f), the United States trustee (or a bankruptcy administrator, if any), trustee, or party in interest, including a creditor, must follow the procedures set forth below.
A written request that a debtor file copies of tax returns with the court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 521(f) shall be filed with the court and served on the debtor and debtor's counsel, if any. The proper ECF event for requesting the filing of such information is:
bk > misc > Request for Debtor's Tax Documents/Returns
Tax information is filed by the debtor using the following ECF event:
bk > misc > Tax Documents/Returns
In order to obtain access to debtor's tax information that is filed with the bankruptcy court, the movant must file a motion with the court, which should include:
a description of the movant's status in the case, to allow the court to ascertain whether the movant may properly be given access to the requested tax information;
a description of the specific tax information sought;
a statement indicating that the information cannot be obtained by the movant from any other sources; and
a statement showing a demonstrated need for the tax information.
The following ECF event should be used to file the motion:
bk > motion > Motion for Access to Tax Documents
IV. Access to tax information when a motion for access has been granted.
Upon the granting of a motion fro access to tax information, a hard copy of the tax information will be mailed to the movant. A certificate of service will be recorded in CM/ECF so that the docket will reflect that the court has taken the action necessary to effect the provisions of its order granting

Simply turned away from abuser
Published: November 3, 2018 3:44PM
Re: Helping out racism . . . November 1 letter.
Your singular example of a white woman confronting a Filipino family in Wellington was very selective.
I had a similar situation in Gisborne about 18 months ago, but unlike yourself, Meredith and many others, I walked away and ignored my abuser.
I was confronted by a young Maori woman outside Pak'nSave who asked if I was the Mike who wrote the article in the previous night's paper. I politely told her I was, and then "wham"! She let fly with both barrels. She said "you are a typical white racist and it's a pity no one has bashed you".
Her anger arose from an idea I suggested that one of the local iwi build a simulation of a Maori village and charge tourists a moderate fee to visit it. I felt that this idea, along with the return to our district of the magnificent meeting house Te Hau ki Turanga, from Te Papa, would draw countless tourists to our area.
This attack certainly upset me, but I simply turned and walked away.
Tell me, Mr Porter, should I have rushed to The Herald or phoned Maori TV? Of course not! She was just venting her personal frustration and opinion, although, may I say, it was not in the best manner.
I think I acted a little more sensibly and diplomatically than a number of those who cannot stop claiming "racism is alive and unwell" in Gisborne.
As I have said many times, racism is a two-way street. The problem here is that one side is downhill and gathering momentum.
Let us solve the council problem by appointing a qualified expert in Maori tikanga, and let that person advise the council on the correct procedures etc prior to any matters regarding Maori.
The late Lewis Moeau, the government adviser on Maori protocol, was a prime example. His passing was a great loss to New Zealand.
By the way, Mr Porter, I do not believe Mr Hill's letter was hypocritical but I do feel that your closing sentence "There's much more to come" was written by a very threatening pen.

"Failed Star or Failed Science?"
July 19th, 2000 Wal Thornhill EU Views
A Brown Dwarf Solar Flare
From NASA Science News for July 12, 2000
Astronomers were surprised when NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory detected an x-ray outburst from a failed star only 60 times more massive than Jupiter.
NASA's latest observatory, designed to see the most violent and stunning cosmic phenomena, captured something unexpected. The Chandra X-ray Observatory, orbiting in space about one-third of the way to the moon, saw the first-ever flare from what's known as a brown dwarf, or failed star.
"We were shocked," said Dr. Robert Rutledge of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, CA, the lead author on the discovery paper to appear in the July 20 issue of Astrophysical Journal Letters. "We didn't expect to see flaring from such a lightweight object. This is really the mouse that roared."
Comment: On 15 December 1999 I wrote: "All of these puzzles are simply explained by an electric star. There is no lower limit to the size of a body that can accept electric power from the galaxy so the temperatures of small dwarfs will range down to levels conducive to life. The light of a red star is due to the distended anode glow of an electrically low stressed star." There are no "failed" stars in an ELECTRIC UNIVERSE®. Since the power source for stars is external rather than internal, brown dwarfs can be expected to show most of the same kinds of variability as brighter stars. That includes sudden discharges (flares).
The study of the bright X-ray flare will increase understanding of the explosive activity and origin of magnetic fields of extremely low-mass stars.
Chandra detected no X-rays at all from the object called LP 944-20 for the first nine hours of a twelve-hour observation, and then the source flared dramatically before it faded away over the next two hours.
The energy emitted in the brown dwarf flare was comparable to a small solar flare, and was a billion times greater than observed X-ray flares from Jupiter. The flaring energy is believed to come from a twisted magnetic field. "This is the strongest evidence yet that brown dwarfs and possibly young giant planets have magnetic fields, and that a large amount of energy can be released in a flare," said Dr. Eduardo Martin, also of Caltech and a member of the team.
For the first 9 hr 36 min of Chandra's observation, no X-rays were detected from the brown dwarf (left panel). Then the brown dwarf turned on with a bright X-ray flare (right panel) that gradually diminished over the last few hours of the observation. The grainy appearance of the image on the right is due to a shorter exposure time. The bright dots in the background are other X-ray sources, 7 of which have been identified as stars.
For the first 9 hr 36 min of Chandra's observation, no X-rays were detected from the brown dwarf (left panel). Then the brown dwarf turned on with a bright X-ray flare (right panel) that gradually diminished over the last few hours of the observation. The grainy appearance of the image on the right is due to a shorter exposure time. The bright dots in the background are other X-ray sources, 7 of which have been identified as stars.
Professor Gibor Basri of the University of California, Berkeley, the principal investigator for this observation, speculated that the flare "could have its origin in the turbulent, magnetized hot material beneath the surface of the brown dwarf. A sub-surface flare could heat the atmosphere, allowing currents to flow and give rise to the X-ray flare — like a stroke of lightning."
LP 944-20 is about 500 million years old and has a mass about 60 times that of Jupiter, or 6 percent of that of the Sun. Its diameter is about one-tenth that of the Sun and it has a rotation period of less than five hours. Located in the constellation Fornax in the southern skies, LP 944-20 is one of the best-studied brown dwarfs because it is only 16 light years from Earth.
The absence of X-rays from LP 944-20 during the non-flaring period is in itself a significant result. It sets the lowest limit on steady X-ray power produced by a brown dwarf, and shows that the million-degree Celsius upper atmospheres, or coronas, cease to exist as the surface temperature of a brown dwarf cools below about 2500 degrees Celsius.
"This is an important confirmation of the trend that hot gas in the atmospheres of lower-mass stars is produced only in flares," said Professor Lars Bildsten of the University of California, Santa Barbara, also a member of the team.
Brown dwarfs have too little mass to sustain significant nuclear reactions in their cores. Their primary source of energy is the release of gravitational energy as they slowly contract. They are very dim — less than a tenth of a percent as luminous as the Sun — and of great interest to astronomers because they are poorly understood and probably a very common class of objects intermediate between normal stars and giant planets.
Comment: On October 11 1999 I wrote: "… images from Chandra will be important evidence for the ELECTRIC UNIVERSE® because x-rays are only emitted where electrical activity is strongest." Astrophysicists are unable to interpret the information from Chandra sensibly because their training does not include plasma electrical discharge phenomena. The unfortunate result is "pathological science" that employs magnetic fields that are generated by poorly understood and unseen theoretical "dynamos" inside cosmic bodies. The resulting hypothetical magnetic fields are then trapped in plasma despite the fact that plasma is not superconducting. Then magical "reconnection" of magnetic field lines is invoked to explain sudden energetic outbursts classified as being "like lightning". If we don't use magnetic reconnection in storm clouds to explain lightning, why use it in deep space to explain a similar phenomenon?
As further evidence that magnetic models are inadequate, on July 12 the following image was posted on the Astronomy Picture of the Day website.
A Giant Starspot on HD 12545 Credit & Copyright: K. Strassmeier (U. Wien), Coude Feed Telescope, AURA, NOAO, NSF
Explanation: What could cause a star to have such a large spot? Our Sun itself frequently has sunspots, relatively cool dark magnetic depressions that move across its surface. HD 12545, however, exhibits the largest starspots yet observed. Doppler imaging – the use of slight changes in color caused by the rotation of the star – was used to create this false-color image. The vertical bar on the right gives a temperature scale in kelvins. This giant, binary, RS CVn star, also known as XX Trianguli, is visible with binoculars in the constellation of Triangulum. The starspot is thought to be caused by large magnetic fields that inhibit hot matter from flowing to the surface.
Comment: The explanation of sunspots has been contrived to fit the idea of an internally powered star. Common sense suggests that any break in the photosphere should allow the hotter and brighter material beneath to show through. Sunspots should be brilliant blue-white rather than cooler and darker. Once again astrophysicists have invoked magical magnetic fields to "solve" the problem. However, HD 12545 strains the magnetic theory of starspots past breaking point. Where does all of the throttled heat flow go? If it is diverted around this colossal starspot, the edges should be much brighter than the rest of the star.
The electric star model expects this kind of transition between a star like our Sun and a red giant like HD 12545. Bright anode tufting is a feature of mercury arc rectifiers when the current load is high. Anode tufts tend to clump together while retaining their identity. Our Sun is a relatively small stellar anode so the photosphere is densely packed with bright granulations or anode "tufts". A red giant is a large anode so that "tufting" is not required to carry the current load. As a result, the red anode (chromospheric) glow predominates. A red star with a binary partner may also have an asymmetric anode glow due to a distortion in the current supply created by the partner. Starspots will be cooler because the power that drives the stellar electric discharge is being diverted. Starspots can be any size on an electric star.
The 12-hour observation of LP 944-20 was made on December 15, 1999, using the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS).
The ACIS instrument was built for NASA by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, and Pennsylvania State University, University Park. NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL, manages the Chandra program. TRW, Inc., Redondo Beach, CA, is the prime contractor for the spacecraft. The Smithsonian's Chandra X-ray Center controls science and flight operations from Cambridge, MA.

Fair enough. But it has the look and feel of comic sans, which I find pretty half-assed regardless of the actual font.
They both will beat picklemans downtown.
Since we're all just here speculating, imagine a new AMC in the bottom of whatever ends up getting built at 20th/Grand. That parcel is huge and could more than accommodate a modern multiplex on the ground floors with 20 floors of office/residential above.
He was at Banksia yesterday doing the same.
Going to be a beautiful parking lot.
Well, I would hope so! It shouldn't take years to build out a little Picklemans.
It has literally been years.


Let's imagine, this is the very sentence where you've found this word. What does the word "hectic" do? It describes the noun "week", it makes it an adjective. Am I right? "This week has been really hectic. I didn't even get a chance to hang out with my friends." What can it be? Busy, crazy busy?
Let's find it in the dictionary. And it is an adjective. Great! The word "hectic" means full of busy intense activity. Check it out, how awesome we are!
Let's see what we can replace "hectic" with: hyperactive, overactive, tense, frantic.
The antonyms will be calm, undisturbed.
Here is one more good expression, "the hectic pace of city life". Something like: "I couldn't get used to the hectic pace of city life".
Now we are going to make some sentences with the word "hectic". And, of course, you should write your own sentences.


Shakespeare told us "To thine own self be true." Nick Horby's advice to readers could be paraphrased, "To thine own taste be true." He asserts reading should be fun, not enforced.
I don't think he means no one should write literary novels. Clearly some people like them. Writers, and readers, should pick the genres they like. There is no "should" about what to write.

Locales: Addiscombe, CR0
Pub in Addiscombe, in the Good Beer Guide. It's the sister pub of the Claret Wine Bar in Cheam. Previously known as the Claret Free House photo, it changed its name to the Claret & Ale in 2016 or early 2017, though nothing else about it seemed to change.
It's quite small, stretching back from a single frontage in a shop parade just down from Addiscombe Tram Stop. Decor and ambience are traditional.
We've visited several times now, most recently in June 2018. On a Saturday afternoon in August 2007 it was just the right amount of full, with enough room to sit but enough other customers (many of whom seemed to know each other) to create a pleasant buzz of conversation. Football on a flatscreen was briefly interrupted in favour of horse racing on a couple of small TVs, but neither was obnoxiously loud. About half of the customers were watching the sport, and occasionally shouting at it.
On a March 2008 visit by Ewan et al., the pub was busy in the early evening of a public holiday, though there were still some tables down the back of the pub where we got a seat. There was no sport playing at the time. When bob visited in August 2016 there were about ten people in and the flatscreens were showing cricket and golf. On Kake's Wednesday afternoon visit in June 2018 there were again about ten people in, but on this occasion the aural entertainment alternated between goth, Frank Sinatra, and the horseracing.
In August 2007, Westons Herefordshire County Perry (4.5%) was very pleasant at £2.80/pint. Biddenden Dry and Medium (both 8%) were also on, and also £2.80. Many real ales too. The perry was fetched from the cellar, which is just at the back of the single room that makes up the pub. In March 2008 the ales were Palmers bitter, Palmers 200 (a stronger bitter), Slaters Queen Bee, Ossett Brewery's Excelsior and Fine Fettle, and Spitfire. They also had the ciders mentioned above (still at £2.80) and a good whisky list (all at £2.10). Beers were well-kept, with particular praise for the Queen Bee.
In October 2011 the ales included Palmers bitter, Palmers Tally Ho, Anglo-Dutch Kletswater, and RCH Hewish Mild, and there were two ciders on, possibly the abovementioned. In August 2016 the ales were Cottage Sunset (£3.40/pint, and fine), Palmers IPA, Cottage Duchess, Thornbridge Rustic, Hammerton Bottle Wreck Porter, and Windsor & Eton Boatman.
They don't do any food, but the snacks behind the bar include Scampi Fries and other such delights.

The final weekend in April and the beginning of May will feel a whole lot like October for the New York Yankees.
The Bronx Bombers kick off a 13-game stretch Friday night in Anaheim that will see them play the four teams — the Angels and Astros on the road, followed by the Indians and Red Sox at home — they're most likely to meet in the playoffs … if they get there, that is.
Will they survive relatively unscathed? Here's what you need to know as the boys in pinstripes, riding a six-game winning streak, enter the toughest part of their regular-season schedule.
Another Bout with Trout: Mike Trout has performed very well in 34 career games against the Yankees. He's a career .325 hitter against the Bronx Bombers, and his .627 slugging percentage against them is his highest against any AL team.
It's a small sample size, but the Red Sox are one of the few teams Stanton has actually had success against this season. He went 7-for-12 (.583) in the three-game series against the Red Sox from April 10-12.
Judge also hit well against the Red Sox in that series (6-for-11 with a HR), but he hasn't enjoyed the rivalry overall: He's 17-for-84 (.202), with three home runs, 16 walks and 32 strikeouts.
After Bruce's decisive drive to center field off former Mets farmhand Matt Bowman (0-1) with two outs, the Cardinals claimed he missed first base and challenged. A 56-second replay review confirmed Bruce touched the bag, and the NL East-leading Mets (15-6) closed it out for their 10th comeback victory of the season.
There was no doubt in Bruce's mind that he touched them all.
Cespedes also has been slumping — he started the night hitting .195. But his homer off starter Luke Weaver tied it 4-all in the fifth. The drive traveled an estimated 463 feet to left field, the third-longest by an opposing player in the history of Busch Stadium III.
Bruce's eighth-inning single sent Todd Frazier from first to third before Adrian Gonzalez tied it at 5 with a sacrifice fly.
Mets starter Zack Wheeler lasted a season-low four innings and gave up four runs. Former ace Matt Harvey allowed a run over two innings in his first relief appearance since being demoted to the bullpen.
After Su'a Cravens' 2017 season derailed by injury and personal issues, it was initially difficult to see how the dynamic safety would reclaim his promise as a potential rising NFL star.
That pessimistic outlook might have faded a little bit this week when the Denver Broncos signalled their faith in Cravens by acquiring him in a trade with the Washington Redskins.
It's tough to tell which direction Prescott's career is heading, and top receiver Dez Bryant's future is up in the air. That's why the Cowboys probably shouldn't be viewed as a top-10 team at this juncture, but there's a lot of room for them to either sink or swim in 2018.
Trouble, even with a magician at quarterback.
In addition to lacking talent along the offensive line, in the offensive backfield and in the receiving corps, the Seahawks now lack depth on both sides of the ball. Without Russell Wilson, they'd be a bad team. With Wilson, they're still probably kicking off a miniature rebuild.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston's career has yet to take off, but the 2015 No. 1 overall pick saw most of his rate-based statistics improve in 2017, and he has a lot of support entering his fourth season.
What is WAR good for, anyway?
As it turns out, evaluating player value and comparing production among MLB players.
No, I'm not talking about the violence and weapons kind of WAR, I'm talking about Wins Above Replacement.
Asked when Jimenez might get his first crack at the majors, Hahn acknowledges that, despite being 21 and having made only 73 plate appearances above High-A, he could very well force his way into the White Sox outfield this summer.
In a small sample size vacuum, Cousins doesn't *look* eight figures better than Keenum was last season. The former Vikings quarterback completed more of his passes, had a lower turnover rate, and provided a higher approximate value (according to Pro Football Reference) than his replacement.
While Cousins worked with a lesser supporting cast, he was forced into a more conservative game plan last fall. His average yards per pass was just 7.6, barely higher than the 7.4 Keenum recorded in a season that began, like with Bradford before him, by focusing on short, accurate passes to help build his momentum as a starter. But in 2016, that figure was up to 8.1 yards more accurately reflecting the value Cousins provides with the right tools.
The Chiefs didn't wait until the offseason to make their move, agreeing to a deal to trade Smith to Washington for a third-round pick and cornerback Kendall Fuller.


Every year they receive around 5000 applications for 50 positions as part of their graduate program. How do they tackle this task of finding the best candidates through their enormous number of candidates, whilst positioning themselves as an innovative and digital employer? Well, they don't just talk about innovation, they live it: by replacing conventional telephone interviews with digital video interviews. Here are the outcomes.
How can HR possibly evaluate a candidate's competencies given the highly specialised profiles that technical departments are looking for? The results of pre-screening more candidates is striking: Deutsche Telekom found that 20% of the candidates invited to the subsequent assessment centre would not have been invited if had not been for their video interview. Those hidden talents could prove their skills and competencies in the video interview and show that they fit Telekom's corporate culture.
Where does this success come from?
Videos also allow candidates to show their personality, and recruiters and hiring managers can assess whether they will fit into the company culture. Using video allows you to assess your candidates fairly and objectively. Candidates are judged based on the relevant skills required, such as communication, customer orientation and professional expertise. This ensures that gut feeling and bias do not come into consideration, with only the most suitable candidates being invited to the following steps of the interview process.

Impressed by the growth potential Leamington offers, Harry Goodman, IMP's asset manager said: "The town centre has been on our radar for a while. It's an affluent town, with an appealing mix of major national retail brands and independent boutiques.
IM Properties is no stranger to the benefits of investing in upmarket suburbs in Warwickshire, having owned Mell Square Shopping centre in Solihull since 2013.
Leamington recently announced plans for a £50m redevelopment of new council headquarters to create a major new gateway into the town centre, stimulating the local economy by an estimated £1m.
Harry concluded: "Clearly Leamington is a very attractive place to live, work and shop. The area around The Parade and Warwick Street attracts some seven million people a year.
Coleshill based, IM Properties, is one of the largest privately owned property companies in the UK and has a £1 billion portfolio including retail, offices, industrial and residential. Most notable assets in Warwickshire include Mell Square Shopping centre and Blythe Valley Park in Solihull.

In case you prefer custom design, you can take advantage of professional design services. If not, you can always use one of several ready-made templates.
Compare the approved designs with the final website, reviewing each template for inconsistencies in layout, header style, fonts, formatting, and content.

If you use any third-party integrations, modules, and/or extensions, verify everything works properly.
It is also a good idea to implement an analytics system to collect data about conversion. You're welcome to read more about it here.
Call-to-action – If you were trying to sell something in person, would you skip the part of your pitch where you actually convince your customers to buy? Of course not. So, don't forget to include at least one call to action, ideally near the top of every page, on your site. While something as simple as "Call now" might not seem very creative, it's totally fine.
Newsletters – More than 45% of small businesses successfully use e-mail marketing in their strategy. Whether you're going to employ an e-mail technique or not, start building your list now so you always have the option to use any of the free e-mail marketing tools available such as MailChimp or Zoho.
Customer testimonials – Testimonials may be the best way to show your potential customers that you and your business are reliable and trustworthy. If you don't have any, consider sending an e-mail your customers asking for their feedback on your business and service. Most satisfied customers will gladly provide this.
Return/Refund policy – Give your customers a sense of safety and security when making a purchase on your website by providing them with clear return/refund policies. Ensure they are easy to understand and spelled out step by step.
Blog – A blog is a great tool to help you communicate with your customers easily and stay in touch regularly, which means you can build long-lasting relationships and develop their trust. Blogs also helps search engine presence. You can use free blogging software like Blogger, Ghost, Medium etc.
FAQ – This page is a proven, time-tested time-saver for many companies. The more questions you answer here, the less time you'll spend answering via e-mail, on the phone, or on social media. The answers placed here should concentrate on customer concerns that may be an obstacle to making a purchase.
In addition to the features listed above, it's also vital to remember that pages of your website should be fast loading. People are impatient, especially when it comes to websites, and according to Google polytics, pages should load in 2 seconds or less. Another important focus is design. It's no doubt that most of your website traffic will be carried by mobile devices. Hence, it's critical to ensure your website is responsive, and looks good on any screen resolution.
How Much Does it Cost to Create an E-commerce Website for Small Business?
Domain name cost: The average price is between $10 and $15 per year.
SSL cost: The price starts from $17 per year.
Hosting cost: Approximately $10 per month.
Premium theme cost: from $75.
Premium plugins cost: from $40.
Hiring a professional developer is a different story altogether, and it's virtually impossible to estimate a price to develop a website with a developer. The only thing we can confidently say is it's better to pay a competent but expensive specialist for their skills than to pay a cheaper but ineffective one who makes empty promises.
As you can see, it's not an impossible challenge to build an e-commerce website for a small business. You can find many manuals, tutorials, and educational videos that may help with any issue you'll face. Otherwise, you can always work with Whidegroup, relax without worry, and get a splendid result.
Among small businesses without a website, more than half (58%) plan to build one in 2018.
By 2019, nearly all (94%) small business websites will be mobile friendly.
Small businesses list cost (26%), irrelevance to industry (27%), and social media (21%) as key reasons behind their decision not to have a website.
More than one quarter (28%) of small businesses spend less than $500 on a website.

The PhD Comprehensive Examination Policy and Procedures
The comprehensive examination is in two parts, the qualifying review and the intermediate review, in which the candidate must demonstrate both a broad knowledge of the academic discipline, and an advanced scholarship in at least one specific field of study. Students should be notified, in writing, of the dates and times of both their qualifying review and intermediate review at least three months in advance. For the qualifying review, notifications will be issued in May and September for examinations in August and December, respectively. It is the responsibility of the supervisor(s) to request the formation of the examination committee and provide the student with a copy of comprehensive examinations guideline (this document). It is prerogative of the head of the department to nominate the examination committee members and a responsibility of the graduate officer to seek the approval of such a committee by the dean of graduate studies.
The Qualifying Review
The qualifying review, which consists of three written exams, should occur within one year of a student entering the Ph.D. programme. It is normally held in the last week of August, for students who enrolled in the programme in the Fall term, and the first week of December for students who enrolled in the programme in either the Winter or Spring terms. The main purpose of the qualifying review is to ensure that the candidate has a reasonably broad general knowledge of the discipline at the honours undergraduate level before beginning work on a thesis.
The examination committee for the qualifying review consists of the head of department or delegate (usually the graduate officer) who serves as chair, the candidate's supervisor and three examiners, all of whom serve as voting members. The examiners are chosen from the faculty members whose research areas are close to the subjects of the exams. At this stage, the examiners shall not be members of the supervisory committee. Once the examination committee has been approved by the dean of graduate studies, the candidate shall not contact the examiners with matters pertinent to the exam; questions raised by the candidate shall be addresseThe syllabi for these examinations together with two sets of sample exams must be posted in the department's web-site.d to either the supervisor or the chair of the committee.
The qualifying review in mathematics consists of three examinations chosen by the supervisory committee from the following list: analysis, topology, algebra, combinatorics, differential equations, and numerical analysis.
Sample Exams:
Algebra: syllabus, sample exam 1, sample exam 2.
Analysis: syllabus, sample exam 1, sample exam 2.
Combinatorics: syllabus, sample exam 1, sample exam 2.
Differential Equations: syllabus, sample exam 1, sample exam 2.
Numerical Analysis and Methods: syllabus, sample exam 1, sample exam 2.
Topology: syllabus, sample exam 1, sample exam 2.
The qualifying review in statistics consists of the three examinations in the following list: probability, inference, and applications of statistics.
Sample Exams: (to come)
Each exam will be written in a session of three hours and all of them must be completed in the span of a week. Grading the exams by the examiners should be done within a period of two weeks.
The outcome of each exam is pass (a grade of A or B), fail (F), or re-examination (a grade of C or D). Only one re-examination in at most two exams is possible and, when needed, such a re-examination(s) should occur no sooner than one month and no more than four months after the original examination. When two exams need to be rewritten, the exams must be competed in the span of a week. To successfully complete the qualifying review, a student must pass all three exams. In the case of failure, the student's programme shall be immediately terminated.
On receiving the results from the examiners, the chair consults with the full committee and then informs the head of the department of the outcome of the examination. If the candidate fails to successfully complete the qualifying review, the department notifies the dean of graduate studies. If the candidate needs to be re-examined, the committee recommends when the exam(s) to be re-written should be scheduled. If the candidate successfully completes the qualifying review, the chair of the committee communicates the grades obtained by the student to the department secretary to be recorded in the student's file (these grades will be used later to determine eligibility for pass with distinction at the second part of the comprehensive exam) and informs the student of the outcome. If the student does not fail the qualifying review, the School of Graduate Studies will only be notified when the dean requests it.
All written examination scripts must be given to the department secretary for safekeeping until one year after the student leaves the programme. After this time, the scripts can be destroyed.
The Intermediate Review
The intermediate review is an examination process that starts with the submission of a written proposal on a thesis research topic by the candidate and culminates with the oral examination. At the time of this oral examination, the student shall have satisfactorily completed the course work listed in his/her programme of study up to the date. As the final stage of the Ph.D. comprehensive exam, the intermediate review must take place before the end of the candidate's seventh semester (normally towards the end of the student's sixth semester). The purpose of the intermediate review is to ensure that the candidate has sufficient specialised knowledge in the area of the proposed thesis and related areas so as to make a Ph.D. worthy thesis likely.
The examination committee is appointed by the dean of graduate studies upon recommendation of the head of the department. It consists of the head of department or delegate (usually the graduate officer) who acts as chair, the candidate's supervisor(s), the dean of graduate studies delegate and three examiners who meet the criteria indicated in the Graduate Studies regulations. In the case of more than one supervisor, only one shall be voting member; all the other members except the dean of graduate studies delegate are voting members.
The thesis proposal is a piece of scholarly work written by the candidate under the guidance of the supervisor(s). It shall be submitted for the consideration of the examination committee at least threeweeks before the date of the oral examination. Its length should not exceed 12 pages plus bibliography.
The examiners have the right to reject any proposal that does not meet these requirements. Although there is not a fixed format for such a proposal, it should at least contain a motivation to the work and its worthiness, a succinct review of the literature, an account of the current stage of progress and further directions of the student's research, a clear description of the expected contribution to knowledge, and a time frame for completion. This proposal is subject to all university regulations regarding academic integrity and intellectual property.
The oral examination consists of a presentation of the thesis proposal in a 45 min seminar-like format by the candidate, followed by at least two rounds of questioning by the examiners. These parts of the exam are open to the public. During the presentation, the candidate is expected to summarise the work in the chosen topic to date and to indicate the directions of his/her research for the remainder of the programme. The oral examination should consist of questions relevant to the proposal and related areas. Specifically, it is appropriate to ask questions that may not look directly related to the proposal if these questions probe the student's depth of knowledge in his/her chosen field. After the examiners finish questioning the candidate, the other members of the examination committee are given the opportunity to comment on the oral presentation. Then, the examination committee proceeds to an in camera deliberation where a decision is made based on the overall performance of the candidate, i.e., the evaluation considers the thesis proposal, oral presentation and viva voce. The possible outcomes of the examination are pass with distinction, pass, re-examination or fail. In order to be eligible for pass with distinction, the candidate must have obtained A in all written exams from the qualifying review on the first attempt. Fail and pass with distinction shall be unanimous decisions. In case of re-examination, the examiners should provide written feedback to the candidate within one week from the date of the oral examination and the re-examination must be held not less than one month and not more than six months after the original examination date. In the case of re-examination, the candidate shall the re-submit an updated thesis proposal at least three weeks before the exam. The only possible outcomes in a re-examination are pass or fail. Only one re-examination is permitted. When the outcome is fail, the candidate's programme shall be immediately terminated. Whatever is the outcome of the intermediary review, the chair of the examination committee shall submit the comprehensive examination report signed by the committee members to the dean of graduate studies with copy to the department head and supervisory committee.
When examining a candidate with disabilities who requests accommodations, these shall be arranged according to university policies.

Imagine coming home after a hard day at work and finding the body of a stranger, murdered in your home. You wouldn't think it could get much worse – until the police take you in for questioning as a suspect.
While it soon becomes clear that Anna's not the killer, she's still left with the question of why a stranger was murdered in her home. And as she starts to ask questions, it soon becomes clear that there are family secrets blocking her road to the truth.
At the same time, DI Helen Lavery, in charge of her first murder enquiry, has to make sense of the murder. A second death increases the pressure and the pace picks up, focusing on the investigation more as the detectives make a breakthrough.
But will they be in time?
I enjoy trying new authors and series, getting to know new characters and settings. You can never be sure what you're going to get and the first quarter of this story took its time to get going with a lot of focus on the emotional state of Anna and Helen Lavery. But once the investigation kicked into gear, the story picked up and became an exciting and intriguing hunt for the killer. The characters revealed themselves through their actions and relationships and the secrets were peeled away, layer by layer.
This is a good first novel to a series with an intriguing plot, plenty of drama and tension, and some engaging characters that lay a sound foundation for future novels.
Arriving home from a routine day at work, Anna Cottrell has no idea that her life is about to change forever. But discovering the stabbed body of a stranger in her flat, then becoming prime suspect in a murder enquiry is only the beginning. Her persistent claims of innocence start to crumble when new evidence links her irrevocably with the victim…
Leading her first murder enquiry, DCI Helen Lavery unravels a trail of deception, family secrets and betrayal. When people close to the Cottrell family start to disappear, Lavery is forced into a race against time. Can she catch the killer before he executes his ultimate victim?

Is your cell phone giving you cancer?
June 1, 2011 By Richard Alexander
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), maybe.
A WHO panel concluded that cellphones are "possibly carcinogenic," putting the mobile phones in the same threat level category as certain dry-cleaning chemicals and pesticides.
The finding bolsters concerns among a growing group of experts about the health effects of low levels of radiation emitted by cellphones. The panel led by Dr. Jonathan Samet, of USC and included 31 scientists from 14 countries.
The panel only reviewed numerous existing studies that focused on the health effects of radio frequency magnetic fields, which are emitted by cellphones and no new studies were conducted.
During a news conference, Samet said the panel's decision to classify cellphones as "possibly carcinogenic" was based largely on epidemiological data showing an increased risk of a glioma among heavy cellphone users. A glioma is a rare type of brain tumor.
The study began with people who already had cancer and asked them to recall how often they used their cellphones more than a decade ago causing many to be doubtful of the results. Multiple other studies done in Europe, New Zealand and the U.S., patients with brain tumors have not reported using their cellphones more often than unaffected people.
Due to the popularity of cell phones the comparison of cellphone users who develop brain tumors with people who don't use the devices may be all but impossible. According to a survey last year, the number of cellphone subscribers worldwide has hit 5 billion, or nearly three-quarters of the global population.
People's cellphone habits also have changed dramatically since the first studies began years ago and it's unclear if the results of previous research would still apply today.
Most major medical groups, including the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute, have said the existing data on cellphones and health has been reassuring.
Concerns about the health effects of cellphones have been largely dismissed because the radio frequency waves emitted from the devices are believed by most experts to be benign. Cellphones emit nonionizing radiation, which are too weak to break chemical bonds or to set off the DNA damage known to cause cancers. Scientists have said repeatedly that there is no known biological mechanism to explain how nonionizing radiation might lead to cancer or other health problems.
"This I.A.R.C. classification does not mean cellphones cause cancer," John Walls, vice president for public affairs for CTIA-The Wireless Association, an industry group, said in a statement.
Walls noted that both the Federal Communications Commission and the Food and Drug Administration have concluded that the weight of the scientific evidence does not link cellphones with cancer or other health problems.
This year, The Journal of the American Medical Association reported on research from the National Institutes of Health, which found that less than an hour of cellphone use can speed up brain activity in the area closest to the phone antenna. The study was among the first and largest to document that the weak radio frequency signals from cellphones have a measurable effect on the brain. The research also offers a potential, albeit hypothetical, explanation for how low levels of nonionizing radiation could cause harm without breaking chemical bonds, possibly by triggering the formation of free radicals or an inflammatory response in the brain.
"We looked carefully at the physical phenomena by which exposure to such fields might perturb biological systems and lead to cancers," Samet said.
But, he said, the result was inconclusive, adding, "We found some threads of evidence about how cancer might occur but have to acknowledge gaps and uncertainties."
The WHO panel made no comment on how large or small a risk cellphone radiation may pose to human health.
In August 2010, San Francisco became the first city in America to require retailers to post radiation emission information beside every make and model of phone they sell. But the law, which was supposed to go into effect in February, remains on hold. The city's Board of Supervisors is currently considering an amended version, requiring retailers to simply offer tips on reducing exposure to cellphone radiation by doing things like using a headset.
The panel ruled only that cellphones be classified as Category 2B, meaning they are possibly carcinogenic to humans.

So here is the classroom where I spend the majority of my mornings. It's actually quite pleasant (when it's not a 100 degrees inside; Moldovans do not use air conditioning.) There is a year round kindergarten in session downstairs so our studies are set to the lilting sounds of children laughing and playing. Speaking of conjugating verbs. Oh MY GOD. Language lessons took a sudden jet-propelled thrust into DIFFICULT today: who in the world decided that substantive definite and substantive indefinite nouns should be modified differently? According to whether they are male, female, singular, or plural? Can't we just toss a "the" or "these" in front of them and be done with it??? And then conjugate the verbs and adjectives, too, accordingly? I have lists two sheets long for conjugating just the male form of the verb "to be." This is crazy hard to keep straight in my head.
Public well in neighborhood. Fill your cup. Noroc!
Today, for a bit more fun, I partnered up with Warren and Patty and we walked through our assigned quadrant of Stauceni to conduct our first experiment in "community mapping." This is a tool we each will use at our assigned site for getting to know our community, its layout, socioeconomic and industrial composition, demographics, gender divisions and roles, etc. We literally walked the streets using my iPad (ok – we're so American) GPS mapping tool to find our way down to the winery, bus stations, altamenteri, lyceum, premir (mayoral) residence, where we then stood around taking pictures and writing down notes and generally looking like completely here from space tourists. It was fun.
I read your post from the shores of Avalon Catalina USA!! Cheers sister!
Hey, are you sure you're not on holiday? What an amazing adventure!
great pictures but I long for one of you in them! See what you can do about that please….LOL! I have been listening to a lot of Romanian online as I want to learn this language with you, but I have to admit I am falling far short and am stunned at how quickly you are going to have to learn this difficult and yet really beautiful language…all I can do is bow to you my friend! Mugs to you!

The APIS High School Curriculum Guide has been prepared to help students plan for their four-year educational program. It is our goal to provide our students access to a diverse curriculum that provides the opportunity to individualize their course of study and to meet their objectives, needs, and interests as they carefully prepare for their academic future at the university level.
APIS offers a rigorous, curriculum with an added emphasis on global connections and East Asian culture and civilization to help our students gain the competitive edge necessary to take on the challenges of the new Pacific Century. Hence, we require our students to acquire proficiencies in at least one East Asian languages in addition to English, our language of instruction. At APIS, our foreign language emphasis is currently on two languages: Chinese and Japanese. Our students go beyond simply learning another language, however, Asian literature, history, and culture are also studied and applied in the context of our increasingly global society and the growing political and economic importance of Asia.
Transfer Students: Transfer students who are unable to fulfill the total credit requirements for foreign language, Korean language & literature, and/or physical education will have these specific requirements waived. The same minimum credit requirement of 25 units still must be completed for graduation.
Any student who wishes to repeat a course after having previously failed or underperformed must schedule a meeting with the principal and their parent to discuss the reason for the course repeat and create a plan for academic success. Once the course has been repeated, the new grade will replace the previous grade on the transcript and the new grade only is calculated into the grade point average. Students repeating a course because of a previous failure and the need to meet a graduation requirement are given first priority for enrollment.
Advanced Placement is a program of rigorous college-level courses and examinations. Each course culminates with an examination developed by the College Board in Princeton, New Jersey. Over 40 colleges and universities throughout the world allow entering freshmen to receive credit for one to three semesters of college work if they have earned an acceptable grade on an Advanced Placement examination.
The following is a listing of all approved college-prep courses with current and projected course offerings during the four-year college preparatory program at APIS. Not all courses will be offered for registration each year and all offerings are dependent upon adequate enrollment.
*This is a partial listing. Additional courses will be announced each year according to interest and enrollment.

Those familiar with Kurt Gohde and Kremena Todorova's work know that once you begin to pull apart the components of their community based projects the connections you find periscope infinitely between the simple concepts from which they are conceived and the vast networks of impact in which they create. The Cincinnati Tattoo project is no different. Those familiar with The Lexington Tattoo Project will recognize the project's concept, lines or words of poetry tattooed onto proud city dwellers who wish to display their civic devotion, but in this third, city specific tattoo project the focus has shifted to the Queen City of Cincinnati.
Partnering with Cincinnati non-profit Artworks, the poets of Chase Public, and the tattoo artists at One Shot Tattoo, Kurt and Kremena took the tattoo project concept first conceived in Lexington, Ky across the river in September 2014, where they designed of all the tattoos, mixed the recording of the poem's reading, processed the photographs taken of participants, and made the final video artwork to be shown at a celebratory closing party. Kurt and Kremena have staked their artistic practices on amorphous bodies of work that engage the community directly, and with this latest iteration of their tattoo series they repeat this approach to art production in order create another, successful and ongoing public piece, but here is where the citizens of Cincinnati took over. The Cincinnati Tattoo project continues to grow into what is now called CincyInk, the name now given to all aspects of the tattoo project's core values and goals as they grow into new manifestations of public art.
Whether this latest development of The Cincinnati Tattoo Project was expected from all the various collaborators and contributors is hard to say, but as Kurt and Kremena continue to develop Love Letter to the World, a similar public art piece on an international scale, one can imagine very little surprise from the program's originators.

WOMEN ARE NOT PROTECTED in the U. S. Constitution – Here Are the Ramifications
The Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, may appear to safeguard women against discrimination, but Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia went on record insisting this isn't the case.
"Certainly the Constitution does not require discrimination on the basis of sex, the only issue is whether it prohibits it. It doesn't. Nobody ever voted for that," he said. (In an interview for the January 2011 issue of California Lawyer)

Brooches, pins, clips as well as other jewellery accessories are included in this category.
While nowadays brooches are not usually seen as "must have" items like were in earlier times, this is a very imaginative and exciting genre. Modern dressing habits allow brooches to be placed on several places, and their function is often different from their predecessors. Brooches are can be attached to the waist, onto trousers or skirts other times they adorn scarves, collars or hats. Modern women are creative and can use pins and brooches imaginatively which allows their outfits to truly harmonize with their jewellery.
