difference when there are no floats, but when floats are present it would result in the marker being to the right (left) of the left (right) floating floats rather than to the right (left) of them. In other words, markers would be near their text. I have drawn a diagram on paper here, with all margins, paddings, borders, line boxes, marker boxes, float paddings, float margins and everything carefully drawn, however drawing it in ASCII over a telnet connection with 500ms latency is not something I want to do.

Such a move would be a massive blow to the peace process.
Mr McGuinness also said he expected police to ask for Mr Adams to be held for a third successive night of questioning about one of the most notorious cases of The Troubles.
The 65-year-old vehemently denies allegations by former republican colleagues that he ordered the murder and secret burial of the mother-of-10 in 1972.
Mr McGuinness accused Northern Ireland police of arresting Mr Adams in a bid to hurt Sinn Fein.
Asked if his party would withdraw support for policing if Mr Adams was charged, Mr McGuinness said: "We are very thoughtful and we are very reflective but I think if such a scenario does develop then we will sit down and we will reflect on what will be an even more serious situation than the one we face today."
Sinn Fein's decision to sign up to support the police in 2007 was viewed as a milestone in Northern Ireland's recent history, prompting the return to devolved rule and the party entering power-sharing government with the Democratic Unionists.
Republicans have hit out at Mr Adams's detention three weeks before European elections but Downing Street has denied the arrest was politically motivated.
In addition, Northern Ireland's justice minister said yesterday he could see no sign of dark forces operating within the police force.
Alliance Party MLA David Ford said: "If there are dark forces within policing, I can see no sign. I see a police force with very high levels of confidence, higher than the Garda Siochana [Irish police] or many forces in Great Britain, and I see a police force carrying out its duties properly and appropriately."
Ireland's deputy prime minister Eamon Gilmore also said that politicians should not receive special treatment when it comes to police investigations.
Meanwhile, Tory-LibDem ministers have admitted they do not know how many royal pardons have been granted to IRA terrorists because 10 years of records are missing.
The admission came as they revealed more than 350 amnesties had been issued in Northern Ireland over the last 35 years. The total could be much higher, however, as data for the decade between 1987 and 1997 cannot be found.
Labour MP Kate Hoey accused ministers of a "cover-up" and said that she had been issue in the Commons, questioned why the pardons had not been listed in official published documents at the time, as would normally be the case.
She also called on the Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers to explain how such important records could have been lost.
"There was clearly a cover-up," she said. "How can records not be found on something that the Queen has to sign off?"
The Northern Ireland Office said the issue related to former governments, and no pardons had been granted since the Coalition came to power in May 2010.<|endoftext|>APS board Vice President Analee Maestas spoke out Friday about the state investigation into a suspicious receipt from her charter school, saying she did nothing wrong.
Maestas gave a statement to reporters after a special board meeting on budgets and denied that she submitted a doctored receipt for $342.40 to the New Mexico Public Education Department in an attempt to get reimbursement for cleaning that took place at her home, not La Promesa Charter School, where she is executive director.
“There was work done at my house, but it was paid for personally,” she said after the meeting. “There was carpet cleaning at the school and that was paid for with school funds. There is no question about that.”
Maestas said she has always cooperated with PED and will provide any documentation requested about the cleaning.
She then left without taking any questions.
Paul Aguilar, PED deputy secretary for finance & operations, said the department had flagged the receipt for work from Clean Carpet Care because it appears to have been altered by someone writing the name and address of a casita behind La Promesa Charter School’s Early Learning Center over the name of Maestas and what the PED says appears to be her home address.
On Wednesday, he sent a letter outlining the concerns to internal auditors Axiom Certified Public Accountants and asked them to contact the Office of the State Auditor.
The Journal obtained a copy of the receipt submitted to PED, which claims Clean Carpet Care cleaned 16 ducts and carpets in five areas July 31.
Clean Carpet Care owner Joseph DiBruno provided the Journal with a very different receipt that he said is the original.
It clearly has Maestas’ name and home address written in the “customer information” box and does not mention carpet cleaning work.
DiBruno told the Journal that he recalls cleaning ducts at Maestas’ home but could find no documentation of having worked at La Promesa.
Use of public money for personal expenses and falsification of school records are misdemeanors under state law.
In addition to all civil and criminal penalties, a person found in violation “shall” forfeit “office or employment.”
On Friday, Maestas criticized the Journal for not providing her with a copy of the questionable invoice and letter to Axiom when approached by a reporter Wednesday night to set up an interview time for Thursday.
Maestas, who is paid $82,716 as executive director of La Promesa, agreed to a 2 p.m. interview with the Journal on Thursday but did not pick up a call at that time or three subsequent calls. Her voice mail box was full.
The Journal called her again Friday afternoon to seek additional comment but Maestas did not answer. The voice mail box was still full.<|endoftext|>For instance, their individual reactions to stress and irritation: Logan Caldwell might think, "Blast it!", Erin Quinn--our feisty redhead--will likely groan, "Aagh!", heroine Claire Avery will simply lace up her Nikes and hit the nearest running trail . . . while nurse Sarah Burke dives into extra shifts, powered completely by Diet Coke and M&M's. Each different. Consistently different. Claire won't mutter, "aagh" and Logan won't start popping M&M's . . . see what I mean? That's why part of "polishing" is to use the very nifty "Search and Replace" function in my word processing program. I can search a 300 page manuscript for the word "aagh" in mere seconds. Make sure it's only Erin who says that. But it's not the only search I perform. I also search . . . ahem . . . EYEBROWS.
Because body language is important (you can't have your characters stiff as mannequins while they talk) certain amounts of smiling, chuckling, crossing of arms . . . and raising of eyebrows must occur. Problem is, that I seem to have an eyebrow . . . thing. In the course of 20 chapters ( 80-plus scenes of angst, fear, fury, joy) my characters' eyebrows will alternately, "raise," "lift," "arch" "scrunch," and "draw together," in displays of emotion. You probably do that yourselves, with your own brows, right? Thank you. But then, the problem remains that TOO MANY brow gymnastics can get weird. Become, well . . . Groucho Marx. At some point, there is the risk that all dialogue ceases and the book's characters simply stand around mutely wiggling their eyebrows and grimacing . . . don't laugh, I have nightmares about this.
So I search eyebrows and--pardon the pun--pluck them out of my manuscript here and there. It's part of my process. And then I move on to searching my "crutch words," meaning much over-used words like, "just," "actually," "so," "that," "softly," "gently," . . . every writer has his problem words to erase, trust me.
So, actually, over the next few weeks, I'll just be reading The Healer's Heart softly aloud, and gently plucking dozens of scrunching eyebrows and crutch words, so that my new editor won't cringe.
Oops, sorry for that author brow raise--life of their own.

from money, bond, equity and foreign exchange markets, we develop a comprehensive financial instability index (FII) that gauges the level of financial market stress in some key Central, Eastern and Southeastern European (CESEE) countries. In a second step, we perform a panel estimation to investigate which macroprudential indicators that cover both internal and external imbalances explain the evolution of our FII over the past more than 15 years. Our analysis suggests that both the levels and changes of some indicators (such as credit growth and the level of private sector indebtedness) play an important role for financial stability. Moreover, we find that the impact of some key indicators on financial (in)stability is nonlinear and varies over time depending on market sentiment.<|endoftext|>Adipex 37.5mg prescription info - Online Drug Store.

Regenerative medicine requires scaffolds of divergent physicochemical properties for different tissue-engineering applications. To this end, a series of biodegradable poly(phosphoester) ionomers of the general composition [p(BHET-EOP-HOP/TC)] was synthesized, with BHET(bis-hydroxyl ethylene phosphate):EOP(ethylene phosphate):HOP(free phosphate) ratios of 60:20:20, 70:10:20, and 75:5:20, respectively. The 60/20/20 ionomer possessed the best tensile properties, exhibiting an average tensile modulus of 68 MPa and strain at break of 31%. Calcium treatment of the ionomer films led to significantly higher hardness and elastic moduli as measured by indentation. Calcium binding was evident from the increase in glass transition and melting temperatures, and a shift in the P-->O absorption in the FTIR spectrum. Stable N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (NHS) of the ionomers could be synthesized to facilitate derivatization, as demonstrated by conjugation of GRGDS in this study. The polymers conjugated with NHS were hydrolyzed in a biphasic mode, with a fast initial phase occurring in the first few hours, followed by a slower phase in the next few days. These ionomers represent a novel class of biomaterials with readily controllable physical and chemical attributes for tissue engineering.<|endoftext|>Effect and interaction of temperature and photoperiod on growth and partitioning in three groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) genotypes1
Effect of temperature and photoperiod and their interaction on -plant growth and partitioning of dry matter to pods was examined in three selected groundnut genotypes viz., TMV 2, N C Ac 17090 and VA 81B. The genotypes were grown in six walk-in growth chambers which were programmed to simulate three temperature regimes (22/18°C, 26/22°C and 30/26°C day/night) each under long (12 h) and short (9 h) photoperiods. The plant growth rates and partitioning of
dry matter to pods were estimated on a thermal time basis.
Plant growth (PLGR) was significantly influenced by tp""1T'1P.T::.tJ toperiod and genotype, whereas pod growth rate (PLGR) was primarily by temperature and genotype. The interaction of genotype with photoperiod and with temperature was significant for both PLGR and PDGR. For example, at the 22/18°C temperature regime, VA 81B had a high PDGR, while NC Ac 17090 did not even initiate pod growth. The partitioning of dry matter to pods (Pf) was also significantly influenced by photoperiod, temperature and genotype, and significant interactions were found. Photoperiod did not significantly affect Pf under the low temperature regime, but at higher temperatures, partitioning to pods was significantly under short days. Pf of VA 81B was relatively insensitive to photoperiod compared with the other two genotypes. study provided evidence of genotypic variability for photoperiod x temperature interactions which could influence adaptation of groundnut to new environments<|endoftext|>Success Factors in Independent Ethnic Restaurants
The number and popularity of ethnic restaurants have grown dramatically. Researchers have identified factors contributing to overall restaurant success; however, it is uncertain whether these factors affect independent ethnic restaurants in the same way. The authors interviewed 20 owners of successful independent ethnic restaurants in southeast Texas to determine which factors ranked as the most important. Ethnic restaurateurs agreed with previous research that “competent management” was the most important contributor to success. They also ranked prior business and/or culinary experience as important; however, they did not rank formal hospitality education as an important success factor. Rather, cost controls, market-driven pricing, and loyal patrons were deemed to be more important.<|endoftext|>Increased Energy Efficiency in a Swedish Iron Foundry Through Use of Discrete Event Simulation
There is a long lasting debate concerning the rapidly increasing energy prices in Sweden. For industry the prices has increased by roughly 100 percent the last 5 years. This situation has resulted in an extensive energy research and the work of this paper is part of that development. The paper presents a methodology to analyze and reduce the energy use within energy-intensive companies where the Swedish foundries are the main targets. The methodology is tested on a Swedish iron foundry. The paper shows that using specially built simulation models, companies can lower their energy costs by planning the production in a more efficient way. The methodology described helps breaking down energy parameters into groups and gives examples of how the simulation model can be built to take energy use into consideration<|endoftext|>The point of P-S mode‐converted reflection: An exact determination

Cancer vaccines are aimed at stimulating an immune response to tumor tissue. There is a high level of clinical activity in this rapidly advancing field with over 1,400 trials registered on Clincaltrials.gov. The recent approval of Sipuleucel-T which is the first cancer vaccine approved in the US and EU has encouraged developers in this field. In contrast to more established approaches for treating cancer such as chemotherapy, regulatory guidelines have been developed relatively recently for cancer vaccines. These guidelines advise on general clinical requirements. As there is an increase in innovative strategies with novel products, a 2-way dialog with regulators is recommended on a case-by-case basis to justify the clinical development plan, taking into account specific quality issues related to the product(s) in development. It is important that the rationale, background and justification for the planned development is convincing when interacting with the regulatory authorities, to enable drug developers and regulators to reach agreement.<|endoftext|>The (In)Security of Virtualization in Software Defined Networks
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a new networking paradigm with the promise to increase simplicity and efficiency in network management through the separation of control functions from the forwarding functions. In SDN, the control functions are softwarized and logically placed in a centralized entity, i.e. the SDN controller. Network virtualization is one of the key features enabled and facilitated by the SDN, and it allows multiple virtual networks and the SDN controllers to share the same physical network infrastructure. This paper discusses the security of virtualization in the SDN, and it highlights and demonstrates critical vulnerabilities of key network hypervisors used in the SDN. In particular, the paper demonstrates how the isolation of different virtual networks can be broken, and enabling different types of attacks. Finally, the paper discusses the potential impact of these vulnerabilities and points to mitigation approaches.<|endoftext|>B-type natriuretic peptide after open-water and hyperbaric chamber exposure to 10 msw.
INTRODUCTION
Hyperbaric environment exposure in humans has cardiovascular effects mainly characterized by an increase in afterload and a decrease in cardiac output. In a previous study we did not find B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) changes in healthy volunteers exposed to hyperbaric oxygen while other authors documented a significant increase in N-terminal pro-BNP after scuba diving. On the basis of these data we hypothesized that dry hyperbaric exposure and scuba diving could have different effects on BNP secretion.
METHODS
Nine healthy volunteers performed a 1-h open-sea air dive at 10 m depth (T); a few days later they were compressed in air in a hyperbaric chamber (CT) using the same dive profile. Three venous blood samples were drawn for each session: before starting the dives (T0 and CT0), immediately after exiting the water and the chamber (T1 and CT1), and 5 h later (T2 and CT2).
RESULTS
A significant increase in plasma BNP was found with respect to baseline conditions after scuba diving both at T1 (median increment +32.69% [interquartile range +25.62 to +65.35%]) and at T2 (+28.03% [+23.08 to +38.92%]) while no differences were documented after the same dive in dry conditions either at CT1 (+1.34% [-17.57 to +33.55%]) or at CT2 (0.00% [17,67 to +21.62%]).
DISCUSSION
These preliminary findings show that scuba diving and dry hyperbaric exposure, although at the same environmental pressure, cause different effects on ventricular loads in healthy subjects.<|endoftext|>Broiler health status has a major negative impact on broiler flock contamination with Campylobacter spp. in Lithuania

PEs would benefit from resources to use in supervision such as those gathered in the SCoPT Toolkit available at http://www.scopt.co.uk/downloads/scopt-toolkit. Tools include work sheets gathered from a variety of sources which help PEs and students to develop skills, including those related to social work process, antioppressive practice and critical reflection. Further, PEs need to keep up with legislation and resources as the social work profession is subject to constant change.

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted mobile edge computing (MEC) has been considered as a promising approach to offering extensive coverage and massive computing capacities for Internet of Things (IoT). In this letter, we propose a novel multi-UAV-assisted multi-access MEC model by allowing each IoT user to offload task bits to multiple MEC servers deployed at UAVs simultaneously for parallel computing, which can effectively reduce the energy consumption of users and UAVs. The weighted sum energy consumption of UAVs and users is minimized by jointly optimizing the bit allocation, transmit power, CPU frequency, bandwidth allocation and UAVs’ trajectories. Due to the non-convexity of the formulated problem, it is decomposed into two subproblems and a joint resource allocation and trajectory design algorithm is proposed by alternative optimization. Simulation results show that our proposed algorithm with multiple radio access outperforms the fixed trajectory, fixed bandwidth allocation and the single access schemes.<|endoftext|>An animal testing laboratory that used to conduct horrific experiments on animals including monkeys, dogs, and cats has been allowed to reopen. The chilling images got released from the Laboratory of Pharmacology and Toxicology in Mienenbuttel, located near Hamburg in Germany last year after an undercover worker was given a job there.
A group of monkeys was captured chained to a wall with neck braces on whereas other dogs and cats were filmed as they were bleeding on the ground. Beagles had pipes forced down the throats and also were given capsules during experiments. The Cruelty Free International (CFI) mentioned that animals were injected with poison to see how much of the substances they can take before serious harm was caused.
The tests took place for companies around the world, as per reports. The lab was closed in February after thousands of people protested against animal cruelty. A new managing director, animal welfare officer, and also animal research supervisor have been appointed.
The Hamburg Higher Administrative Court gave allowance to the lav to reopen, as reported by NDR. But the operations have not yet started. The animal rights organization Soko Tierschutz uncovered the clip along with CFI. Friedrich Mülln, a spokesman of Soko said, "This shows that...profit from outdated animal experiments takes precedence over the protection of people and animals," as reported by the Daily Star.
Two former employees also opened up about the conditions at the lab. One of them stated, "I didn't just experience this, I also had to do this, I had to falsify documents. When the studies did not show the results we expected, I was told I had to make them more favorable."
Another employee alleged that the tests were carried out with probable dangerous substances, which are bad for the environment. In one of the studies with rats that caused many deaths, the results were falsified.

OBJECTIVE
To determine the yield of repeated angiography in patients with a non-perimesencephalic subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and a negative first cerebral angiogram.
DESIGN
Retrospective.
METHOD
All diagnostic data of patients with a spontaneous SAH admitted to the Department of Neurology, St. Elisabeth Hospital, Tilburg, the Netherlands, in the period 1 January 1992-30 June 2000 were analysed. Patients with a perimesencephalic haemorrhage on a CT-scan were excluded and follow-up was completed. A negative angiogram was considered false-negative, if an aneurysm was shown on a repeat angiogram or after a rebleed. These angiograms were reviewed.
RESULTS
A total of 333 patients with a spontaneous SAH were registered. Of these, 249 patients had one or more angiograms made, which resulted in 59 first angiograms being negative (24%). A total of 36 patients had a non-perimesencephalic SAH (26 women and 10 men; mean age: 54 years (range: 25-77)). In 25 of these 36 patients, angiography was repeated revealing 9 aneurysms. Four patients suffered from a rebleed after a previous negative angiogram. Altogether, in 13 of these 36 patients the first negative angiogram was false-negative (36%). In 5 of the 9 patients with a positive repeat angiogram, the first angiogram had been incorrectly assessed as negative.
CONCLUSION
Of the 36 patients with a non-perimesencephalic subarachnoid haemorrhage and a negative angiogram, 13 were revealed to have an aneurysm. Nine of these 13 aneurysms were demonstrated on a repeat angiogram. Technical and interpretation factors appeared to play an important role in missing an aneurysm on a cerebral angiogram.<|endoftext|>The Hyades Binaries θ1 Tauri and θ2 Tauri: The Distance to the Cluster and the Mass-Luminosity Relation
We report new spectroscopic observations of the close binaries θ1 Tauri and θ2 Tauri in the Hyades. Our radial velocities for the primary component of θ1 Tau, supplemented with other velocities from the literature and existing astrometric information (speckle observations and lunar occultation measurements), have enabled us to solve for an astrometric-spectroscopic orbit giving a period of 16.3 yr and a nearly edge-on configuration on the sky. We have analyzed our echelle spectra of θ2 Tauri with TODCOR, a two-dimensional cross-correlation technique, and have derived a new spectroscopic orbit for this difficult system, including the orbital velocity amplitude of the rapidly rotating secondary component. We then combine this spectroscopic orbit with a published astrometric orbit from the Mark III interferometer and solve for the individual masses and the orbital parallax. Our analysis technique should eliminate the distortion in the velocity amplitude of the primary that has plagued previous studies by fully accounting for the presence of the secondary in the spectrum. Using proper motions for a representative sample of cluster members, along with the orbital parallax of θ2 Tau, we obtain a new estimate for the distance modulus of the Hyades of m - M = 3.39 ± 0.08 (47.6 ± 1.8 pc), in excellent agreement (1%) with similar estimates from two other Hyades binaries (51 Tau and ϕ342), as well as with results from other methods. We also derive individual masses for θ1 Tau using the distance information from θ2 Tau, transferred via relative proper motions. There are now nine main-sequence stars in the Hyades with directly determined masses and with known individual distances. We compare the empirical mass-luminosity relation from these data with recent theoretical isochrones and show that they are in good agreement. This provides a stringent test of stellar evolution models that does not invoke arbitrary shifts, as is usual in the main-sequence fitting technique for clusters.<|endoftext|>Structural features of cell wall teichoic acid and peptidoglycan of Actinomadura cremea INA 292.
The teichoic acid from the cell wall of Actinomadura cremea INA 292 has an unusual structure, being a poly(galactosylglycerol phosphate) chain with glycerol phosphate groups. Monomeric units of 1-O, beta-D-galactopyranosylglycerol monophosphate are joined in the polymer by phosphodiester links involving the glycerol C3 and the galactose C6 atoms. Approximately every second galactosyl substituent has a glycerol phosphate residue at its C3 atom. The teichoic acid structure was established by chemical analysis and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. There also is a peptidoglycan belonging to the A1 gamma type: as well as meso-2,6-diaminopimelic acid it contains small amounts of the LL form and glycine.<|endoftext|>As we continue our quest to delve deeper into the heart of the beast that is Red Bull Racing Australia, our pursuit brings us to the odds and ends that make up the Car No.1 crew.

<|endoftext|>The New Israel Fund Australia has written to Australia’s Foreign Minister Marise Payne urging opposition to the Israeli plans to annexe part of the West Bank.
“We write to urge you to continue Australia’s support for a negotiated agreement between Israel and the Palestinians for a two-state solution, and to strongly express your opposition to the new Israeli government’s plans to annex parts of the West Bank.
We believe that it is important for Israel’s closest allies around the world to send a strong message against annexation and other threats to Israel’s democracy.
New Israel Fund Australia is the leading Australian non-profit supporting democracy and equality in Israel. We are dedicated to ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and alleviating hardship and suffering caused by inequality. Together with our global NIF partners, over the last 40 years, NIF has distributed more than US$300 million in grants.
We are listening carefully to what our grantees in Israel are telling us about the proposal to annex unilaterally territory held by Israel since 1967. Our grantees fear that annexation would make the unequal and discriminatory legal system in the West Bank formal and permanent, and irrevocably harm Israel’s democratic character. Our grantees also tell us that annexation of only a portion of the West Bank would further diminish the already fragile chances of a negotiated agreement between Israel and its Palestinian neighbours.
We believe that the consequences of the proposed unilateral moves are grave – for the Palestinian people, whose basic rights and aspirations for statehood would be permanently denied; but also for Israel’s democratic character, its security and its international standing.
Our alarm at these consequences is shared by others in the Australian Jewish community who, along with NIF, have a track record of supporting and associating themselves with Israel.
The NIF (“Not Israel’s Friend”) need not worry about Israel “annexing” any land for a simple reason; it already belongs to Israel under international law.
Specifically, Article 6 of the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine (preserved under Article 80 of the U.N. Charter) calls for “close Jewish settlement” on the land West of the Jordan river.
The NIF letter is below contempt! It falsely asserts that COGAT’s administration of Judea and Samaria results in an unequal and discriminatory legal system, but fails to mention that it COGAT is only applying the laws of the illegal occupier, Jordan. The NIF claims to support Israel, but in fact funds organisations supporting BDS and approaches governments to act against Israel as it is doing now. Its several references to its grantees views, begs the question of who these people or groups are. And its claim to support democracy is destroyed by its efforts to undermine the democratic choice of the Jewish people to apply Israeli law to areas which it has had a legal right to since 1922. It seeks to support the rights of the PA which claims all of Israel and refuses to negotiate for anything less than complete surrender by Israel.<|endoftext|>Corneal edema after phacoemulsification surgery in patients with type II diabetes mellitus.
INTRODUCTION
Corneal edema delays early visual recovery after phacoemulsification surgery in diabetes mellitus.
OBJECTIVE
To compare corneal edema of eyes in patients with type II diabetes mellitus and in non-diabetics after phacoemusification surgery.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A hospital-based, retrospective study involving 96 eyes that underwent phacoemulsification surgery for immature cataract at the Department of Ophthalmology, Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal was carried out. Evaluation was performed of 33 eyes in patients with diabetes mellitus (diabetic group) and of 63 eyes in patients without diabetes mellitus (non-diabetic group). All diabetic patients had controlled blood glucose for at least one week prior to the surgery. The operated eye was examined before surgery and on one day, one week, and one month after surgery. Intraocular pressure was measured on each visit.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES
The findings of post-operative corneal edema and visual acuity between the diabetic and non-diabetic groups were studied and compared.
RESULTS
There was no difference clinically in any pre-operative corneal examination between the diabetic and non-diabetic groups. The corneal edema after surgery was significantly higher in the diabetic group than in the non-diabetic group (p less than 0.001). The number of patients with corneal edema one day and one week after surgery was significantly higher in the diabetic group than in the non-diabetic group (after 1 day, OR = 62.5; 95 % CI = 15.31 - 255.11, p less than 0.000) and after 1 week, OR = 6.77; 95 % CI = 1.28 - 35.76, p less than 0.006).
CONCLUSION
Corneal edema following phacoemusification surgery in diabetic eyes is likely to be more frequent than in non-diabetic eyes.<|endoftext|>Behavior therapy: recent developments
This review reports on recent outcome studies of behavior therapy and cognitive-behavior therapy. Additive effects are found for some disorders, but usually the differences are small. Nevertheless, the consistency of a trend supporting cognitive-behavior therapy augers for the future use of the conceptually and clinically broader approach. Adult areas reviewed include anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, and pain management (headaches, back and arthritis pain). Two areas of research with children are reviewed - conduct disorder and child sexual abuse. Interventions with individual children have been limited in generalization effects, so the emphasis is shifting to family interventions and prevention.<|endoftext|>The Politics of Fission: An Analysis of Faction Breakaways among Italian Parties (1946–2011)
This article investigates intra-party politics and explores the determinants of factional breakaways, going beyond the unitary actor assumption. It presents a game-theoretic model that focuses on intra-party competition and bargaining dynamics to analyse the interplay between party leaders and minority factions. It tests several hypotheses based on the formal model using a new dataset that contains information about the strength and policy positions of factions inside Italian parties, from 1946 to 2011, measured through quantitative content analysis of motions presented during party congresses. The results show that office, policy and electoral motives influence factions’ decisions to break away. Other elements – such as intra-party democracy, the electoral system and party system competitiveness – also affect leaders’ attitudes toward compromising and alter the likelihood of a split.<|endoftext|>I have an old vinyl LP entitled "Fireworks and Sparklers" by wingates circa 1975/6 - Wingates won the open in 1975 on Fireworks with Dick Evans conducting - great performance late on in the Kings Hall (terrific cornet and sop playing) - remember it well...
2 other recordings exist for this work, and both are conducted by the composer. The first is the classic 1977 Decca LP by Grimethorpe... 'Grimethorpe Special' (HEAD 14) with which the performance includes narration by Valerie Solti and the band size is doubled with Besses o' th' Barn Band in the Fugue. The other is Eikanger-Bjørsvik Musikklag on the CD titled 'Fireworks' (1999; DOY CD088).
The Stocksbridge recording, for those interested, has Richard Marshall playing principal prior to his Grimethorpe days.
"Fireworks" was also recorded on the lp(s?) of the National Finals/Europeans in 1982.
What intrigues me is that I distinctly recall reading Howarth saying that the piece was originally a lot longer. It would be fascinating to hear the unedited version. I wonder if it's sitting gathering dust in the Grimethorpe band library? I do hope it |

As on today, the war is still on — with theories, conspiracy theories and conspiracy theories behind conspiracy theories.
Back to the discussion of cinema artists in India. Before I talk about status of art in modern India, let us agree to some harsh realities of the Indian society. Non-commercial art has a very small market in India. It is neither very well appreciated nor acknowledged by the majority of the Indians. Had it not been true, many good artists would not have died penniless. Had it not been true, the decent earning middle class people would not have downloaded TBs of music and movies from pirated sites despite several appeals from artists. Had it not been true, parents and teachers would not have demotivated kids for spending time on music, dance and paintings. Some artists do enjoy adulation and prosperity, but the percentage of such artists is so low that it brings more despair than hope. It directly and indirectly means that most of the artists have to drive art on their own by creating an ecosystem which can stand, struggle and change attitudes of people.
Sadly, it doesn’t work that way. Anurag may be feeling that he is living in a North Korea type censor system today, but the reality is that when voices are suppressed in the entertainment industry, when artists are sexually, mentally and physically exploited in the entertainment industry, when junior artists are discriminated in the entertainment industry, then most of the intelligent artists choose to selfishly stay silent due to fear of future.
But apart from this selfish cocooning for survival, there is a bigger complication within the cinema fraternity. Many of the cinema related artists don’t want other artists to grow. Due to limitations of opportunities, long struggle and inflated egos, many of these artists undergo a Darwinian evolution those-who-doesn’t-agree-are-wrong syndrome. If you talk to these peddlers of Mayanagri, most of them would talk about their works and would not leave a chance to demean and malign other struggling artists.
For my convenience, I will take the recent example of Buddha in a Traffic Jam, written and directed by Vivek Agnihotri. I chose this movie because of couple of reasons a) it is a very recent example b) Vivek Agnihotri is a good friend of mine. When students of
JNU and Jadavpur University created a violent ruckus in their campus and opposed the screening of the movie because of ideological differences, not many people involved with film-making stood up to this hooliganism. Even those who did, added disclaimers that it was a bad or a propaganda movie. During an interview of Vivek, Abhinandan from Newslaundry conceded that he was painting the movie as a propaganda movie even without watching it. He also admitted that after watching the movie he agrees that he was wrong. Abhinandan was gracious enough to accept his mistake, others didn’t even care. Sure, the Udta Punjab case is not exactly comparable with what happened to Buddha in a Traffi Jam, but it reveals a mindset.
There are several examples of hypocrisy of liberal artists, but I will pick Varun Grover because I know him from my college days. I know his passion for cinema, I know how after quitting a well paying job, he has struggled for cinema and I also remember that he contributed INR 4,000 for my college play, even when he was struggling to survive. Another reason why I picked his name is that his platform Aisi Taisi Democracy often talks about hypocrisy of Indians, and during Vivek’s case it did the same what it jokes on.
Varun often talks about independence of art, but when Buddha in a Traffic Jam was under attack, he supposedly supported the FoE with many disclaimers, as if he is doing favour” to art and free speech. He couldn’t even resist himself from slyly mentioning how the movie is getting benefited due to controversy
It’s just a film – no matter how provocative or against your world-view it is – stopping it gives it way more power than screening it does.
— वरुण (@varungrover) May 7, 2016
So yeah, good for the film that some noobs (JU admin or students or whoever) considered it worth stopping. Shaheedi ka tamga, best tamga!
— वरुण (@varungrover) May 7, 2016
Varun didn’t stop here. He also shared and promoted tweets which were intended to make personal attacks on Vivek.
There are several similar examples.
Given the fact that Nihalani is incompetent, people have political biases, and art doesn’t have a strong support in India, here are some points to ponder:
- If an artist lampoons other artist, who and what is harmed the most?
- If a set of artists declare works of artists with different ideologies as propaganda and inferior form of art, why would they get support from the other sets of artists, when needed?
We can easily figure out the answer.
P.S: It is important to mention here that Vivek Agnihotri completely backed Anurag Kashyap and his movie and Kashyap too acknowledged this in the media.
P.P.S: I am a big fan of Anurag Kashyap

As we approach the peace negotiation with the Taliban and the appointment of men-and-women delegation to it, compromising women’s rights and achievements becomes more concerning. Some women’s rights activists in Kunduz claim that without considering women’s rights, peace is incomplete. Ms. Golestani said that, aside from security concerns, lack of job opportunities and lack of job security are among the issues that women expect to be addressed with the establishment of a peace deal. “The Head of Women’s Affairs is the only government post run by a woman which is symbolic. While a significant number of women in Kunduz are eligible to run Social Deputy of Kunduz, they cannot dare to run because of threats. Instead this office is held by a man for several years.”
CSHRN: How do you assess women’s presence in the governmental offices?
Golestani: When women are not in key decision-making positions having the same authority as men, it cannot be considered as their bold presence in the offices. Currently women just work for a living. She adds that since women’s rights is an important part of the peace negotiation with the Taliban, women in Kunduz urge the negotiators to ensure nothing remains ambiguous with regards to their rights and clarify all Taliban conditions. For instance, if the Taliban respect women’s right to education, the conditions for respecting their rights should be clarified as well.
CSHRN: What are the security problems for women, especially for employed women of Kunduz?
Golestani: Opposition presence during the nights, threatens both life and job of well-known working women. Therefore, they cannot live far from Kunduz Square. She adds lack of job security for women as another challenge and says that “Women face insecurity not just because of the existence of moral issues and |

alright JQ, i’ll stop.
it’s like picking bits off the edge of a reasonable size scab when a child.
My hometown has about 25 new confirmed COVID-19 cases every week per 100k inhabitants at the moment. Not good. My only hope is that extensive testing and tracing now limits the number of undiscovered cases. If old estimates of a 5-10 multiplier still apply, even a constant R of 1 would mean that 2-4 % of the population could still get infected over the next 20 weeks. On a personal level, since my social environment includes an unusual high number of people with above average infection and mortality risk, odds are I probably know someone who will die in that scenario.
At the beginning of the crisis I thought that statistically there would be a least one in my circle who will die from COVID, and a number who will have a long convalescence. And statistically my chances weren’t that good either.
Amazingly our region (NSW) is now COVID free and providing basic rules are adhered to, should remain so. There is a lot of testing going on but no positive results.
Those protesting about an apparent loss of liberty really have no case.
I have written in the past aabout new values that need to be embraced by humanity to replace older values if humanity is going to survive.
One of those values is sychronization. If humnaity is going to operate in a more sychronized manner a lot more emphasis is going to have to be placed upon home economics in the education system, in every country on the planet.
And this change ties in wiht anohter change. If air travel is reduced 95% and the cruiseline industry is reduced 95% and other structural changes are made that increase umemployment. I think that there is something that will be needed to be done if greater sychronization is to be achieved. All governments are going to need to have neighborhood watchdog officials. These people will not be full fledged police officers. They will be social workers trained in the peacful resolution of disputes.
Their primary mission will be to inspect people’s kitchens to ensure that the population in their district is adhering to rules about maintaining a environmentally sustainable diet. This is INSANE.
But this policy will be required because from 1990 to 2020 humanity acted in a completely insance and irresponsible manner. These officials will also be responsible for insuring compliance with all other government directives concering behavior when not on the job by the residents in their districts.
They will not have the power to arrest people. They will have the power to issue tickets and to summon people to court. Of course they would have the common law power to make a citizens arrest in an emergency situation if the think that they can do so safely. They will not be armed with lethal weapons.
Potential weapons would be pepper spray, tasers, or other specially designed weapons that could cause pain but would be very unlikely to cause a lasting injury.
Their patrols will be conducted on bicycles and foot. The officials will also be auxilliary emgergency medical personal and fire personnel. They will also first aid kits and small fire extinguishers on their bikes and respond to emgergency calls from district residents injured in accidents, or to emergency calls about fires. Being trained negotiators they will also respond to family disputes in their district that have neighbors have been reported because of a fear that the dispute is becoming dangerous. In addition if their districts are plagued by organized crime they will offer to mediate or arbitrate gang disputes with the same sort of confendiality that a US government appointed defence lawyer would operate under.
The follwoing linked story is not very believable. More specifically the purpose of the mission that these 4 anti Chinese CIA agents were supposedly on seems completely unbelievable. So why is this ferry tail being told? Why is it being told now?
How can confederate americans who are actually conterfit americans be descibed as Patriotic?
A real American would not be caught dead being involved in a miliitary operation so far from the USA, even one that attempted to prevent the Chinese from expanding their influence in the south China Sea.
It is not by accident that it is called the China Sea.

The aim of this study is to investigate the views of students about compassionate love and Compassionate Love Education after the elective course of Compassionate Love Education. The research was carried out within the scope of the “phenomenology” of qualitative research patterns. The study group consists of third year undergraduate students who take selective Compassionate Love Education course at a state university during the fall semester of the 2017-2018 academic year. Document review was used as data collection method. The documents are the evaluation articles of the students. In the analysis of the data, content analysis method was used. The results of the selfevaluation of the students after the lesson show that most of the students started to question their opinions about the concept of compassionate love and that their definition of compassionate love and their approach to the concept of compassionate love changed. After course, students generally stated that they were satisfied with course, that they thought it was beneficial, that it gave their life the awareness about compassionate love, and that it gave them different perspectives on compassionate love. In line with the results of the research various suggestions have been developed such that the right understanding of compassionate love for the students starting from pre-school should be created and course of Compassionate Love Education should be included in curriculums at the associate and undergraduate level as an elective course.<|endoftext|>[Formation of horizontal esophago-small intestine anastomosis in gastrectomy for cancer].
A new modification of horizontal esophago-enterostomy has been introduced into clinical practice. The operative techniques is described in detail. Gastrectomy was performed in 76 patients for carcinoma; there were 49 males and 27 females whose ages ranged from 39 to 70 years. Such complications as incompetence of the sutures of the anastomoses did not occur in the immediate postoperative period. Examination of patients in follow-up periods of 4 weeks to 2 years after the operation revealed neither cicatricial stenosis of the esophago-enteric anastomosis nor reflux esophagitis.<|endoftext|>Secondary tumours of the penis.
Mr Harper and colleagues1 (January 2002 JRSM) report an unusual case of colonic adenocarcinoma presenting with a penile metastasis. We have studied the pathology of secondary neoplasms of the genitourinary tract in a series of some 27 000 necropsies at the Royal London Hospital2,3. Secondary malignancies of the penis are much less common than those of other sites in the genitourinary tract: there were 425 secondary tumours of the kidney, 155 of the bladder, 24 of the prostate, 14 of the testis, and only 5 of the penis. These 5 cases were from necropsies of men who died between the ages of 51 and 74 years. 2 were metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinomas, 2 were metastatic transitionalcell carcinomas of the bladder, and 1 a prostatic adenocarcinoma that reached the bulb of the penis by direct spread. The histological appearances were of diffuse infiltration, by tumour cells, of the vascular spaces of the corpora cavernosum and spongiosum. All had metastatic disease elsewhere. Vascular spread seems to be the usual route of metastases to the penis, though their rarity in so vascular an organ suggests that it is an unpermissive environment for tumour growth4.<|endoftext|>Speaker normalization and adaptation based on linear transformation
We propose novel speaker independent (SI) modeling and speaker adaptation based on a linear transformation. An SI model and speaker dependent (SD) models are usually generated using the same preprocessing of acoustic data. This straightforward preprocessing causes a serious problem. Probability distributions of the SI models become broad and the SI models do not give good initial estimates for speaker adaptation. To solve these problems, a normalized SI model is generated by removing speaker characteristics using a shift vector obtained by the maximum likelihood linear regression (MLLR) technique. In addition, we propose a speaker adaptation method that combines the MLLR and maximum a posteriori (MAP) techniques from the normalized SI model. Experiments have been performed on Japanese phoneme recognition test using continuous density mixture Gaussian HMMs. For the baseline recognition test of normalized SI model, a 12.8% reduction of the phoneme recognition error rate compared to the conventional SI model was achieved. Furthermore the proposed adaptation method using the normalized SI model was more effective than the tested conventional method regardless the amount of adaptation data.<|endoftext|>Structures and structural evolution of sublayer surfaces of MOF crystals.
We report the structural characterization of sublayer surfaces of MIL-101 by low-dose spherical aberration corrected high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The state-of-the-art microscopy, directly imaging atomic/molecular configurations in thin crystals from charge density projections, uncovers the structures of sublayer surfaces and their evolution to stable surfaces regulated by inorganic Cr 3 (μ 3 -O) trimers. This study provides compelling evidence on the MOF crystal growth via the assembly of sublayer surfaces and has important implications in understanding the crystal growth and surface-related properties of MOFs.<|endoftext|>An 15N NMR study of adenine-uracil base pair in a non-aqueous solvent.

And, yeah; btw. I´m writing english. One of the challenges I have given myself for 2017. My english has been dead since I was about 15.. So, this is absolutely to go outside of my comfort-zone.

Obituary
Ahmet Aksoy (1932-2020)
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ahmet Aksoy, an esteemed figure of the geodesy community in Turkey, has passed away on December 10, 2020.
Ahmet Aksoy was born in Niksar district of Tokat province, on December 20, 1932, as the fourth child of Edeviye-Besim Aksoy couple. His father passed away before he was born. He had two older sisters and an older brother. Ahmet Aksoy completed his primary and secondary school in Niksar under challenging living conditions during the years of poverty when the World War II dragged the whole country. In 1948, he took and succeeded the exam for public boarding school of Land Registry and Cadastre Vocational High School in Ankara. I will try to introduce this very valuable scientist who started his education at the Land Registry and Cadastre Vocational High School, where Turkey's leading geodesists were raised, who then went to the Department of Geodesy and Photogrammetry Engineering, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Istanbul Technical University (İTÜ), and has worked as a lecturer at five different universities, who has a successful career at home and abroad, and whose circumstances forced him to become a doyen of the profession.
Ahmet Aksoy graduated from the Land Registry and Cadastre Vocational High School in 1951. After that, he began his engineering education at Yıldız Technical University, then named Istanbul Technical School. In 1955, he became a surveying engineer. His classmates remember him for his knowledge, as well as his diligence and determination. Aksoy is a proficient engineer. He loves his work, he reads, learns, builds, and produces.
Aksoy's academic career has started with his master's degree education at the University of Bonn, Germany in 1955 and continued with his doctoral studies. This beginning was both an encouraging example and a positive reference for many of the academics in the area of Geodesy and Photogrammetry Engineering. He neither had a scholarship nor any other financial support for his studies. He had to work for a living. In 1960, he wrote his thesis in Astronomy at the Theoretical Geodesy Institute at the University of Bonn, titled “Untersuchungen über die Eigenbewegungen von Sternhaufen H und χ Persei” (Research on eigen-motions of H and χ Persei Star Clusters) and received the title "Dr. Ing." He married Eta, whom he met during her Ph.D. studies in 1963. In 1967, their daughter Yasemin was born.
Dr. Ing. Ahmet Aksoy returned to Turkey at the end of 1960 and began his military service at the General Command of Mapping in Ankara. Then, in 1963, he became a part of the faculty staff of Yıldız Technical University (YTÜ). He was fresh blood in there. His professors, the late Prof. Macit Erbudak, Prof. Ekrem Ulsoy, and Prof. Burhan Tansuğ had huge confidence in him. He too felt safe in the nest. The professional community also included and accepted him. The participation of Ahmet Aksoy in the teaching staff meant more studying for the students, but they too seemed satisfied. Ahmet Aksoy always comes to mind not only in university, teaching but also in all the problems of the profession, waiting for solutions. Everyone had great expectations of him.
Ahmet Aksoy was very diligent, beginner difficulties of the faculty member life and the problems of having moved the family home to another and new environment did not make him exhausted. He was immensely productive. His thoughts and activities exceeded the expectations. “What good is it that we have a professional chamber? It has no media organ,” he says. The first scientific continuous publication of the Chamber of Surveying Engineers, “Journal of Surveying andCadastre Engineering” comes to life in those years with his leadership.
In 1965, he returned to the Institute of Theoretical Geodesy, the University of Bonn for research. His Associate Professor Thesis titled “Application of Bonne Projection to State Geodetic Measurements” that was presented to Istanbul University, Faculty of Science in 1967 is one of the products of those years. In 1967-70, with the title of Associate Professor, he went to YTÜ (then named Istanbul State Academy of Engineering and Architecture), Department of Surveying and Cadastre Engineering, and at the same time lectured courses at the Geophysical Institute of Istanbul University, Faculty of Science. In 1970, he moved to the İTÜ Department of Geodesy and Photogrammetry Engineering, Faculty of Civil Engineering with this being his primary duty. There, he found himself in a load of hard work in the newly established department. In a very short time, he gained the trust of Prof. Mustafa Aytaç, the late Prof. M. Gündogdu Özgen, and the teaching staff who were younger than him. Alongside that, he continued to give lectures at YTÜ. In the years 1970, 71, and 72 he also went to Trabzon once in every two weeks to teach at the Karadeniz Technical University. In 1975, he received the title "Professor" at the Department of Geodesy and Photogrammetry Engineering, İTÜ. After he ended his additional teaching mission at KTÜ and YTÜ, he gave classes at General Command of Mapping Higher Technical School; this time he went to Ankara every two weeks. He maintained this role between 1979-1991.
In addition to the teaching task, scientific research, and publication work, he deemed all sorts of problems of the profession as his own problems. He wanted to undertake and solve them all. He carried out management duties in the Chamber of Surveying Engineers and conducted Istanbul Branch Presidency for a term. For four years, he was the Chairman of the General Assembly of the Geodesy and Geophysical Union of Turkey (TUJJB), and for 16 years he carried out duties as the University Representative at TUJJB Geodesy Commission and as chairman of various study groups and commissions. In addition, he was a member of the Board of Principals at İTÜ Civil Engineering Faculty and has been the Chairman of the Division of Geodesy for many years.
These tasks that we count in a snap above filled many years, and for him, they were not tasks that just had to be fulfilled. He |
iancée, had previously filed a motion requesting a new trial in 2011, but that request was denied.
His attorney, Daniel Lilley, argued in support of a second motion for a new trial Friday before Judge G. Arthur Brennan, claiming that jailhouse statements made by a potential witness in the case about one of the last people to see Gorham alive were not investigated until after the first trial was over.
Kenneth Villella, an inmate at York County Jail, was first interviewed by police about the late John Durfee in June 2011, months after Twardus had been convicted. Lilley called Durfee, who was Gorham’s landlord, an “alternative suspect.”
Durfee, who lived in Alfred and rented to Gorham on the same property, died on Aug. 29, 2011, at the age of 67.
Lilley said that since Villella was interviewed after the trial and because Durfee died “put the defense at an extreme advantage.”
He called it “evidence lost because it was not developed. It was not followed up on in a timely fashion.”
Deputy Attorney General William Stokes called the jailhouse statements by Villella “double hearsay” and said that if Lilley’s alternative suspect theory were legitimate it would be a frame up of “epic proportion.”
The judge made no immediate decision on the request for a second trial and said he wouldn’t get to the case again until the end of November.

Commissioner Robert Stuart
As we celebrate the start of a new school year, the start of football season and the beginning a great fall, I wanted to take a moment to provide some home safety tips from our Orlando Police Department. Whenever I talk to residents or attend meetings, crime prevention is always the most popular topic. As a lifelong resident of Orlando, there is nothing that makes me more heartsick, and let me be honest- angry- than when we have a crime spike of any kind in our neighborhoods. While I am grateful that our violent crime rate is low, I know any type of crime is frustrating and disheartening. I know we all think we have heard it all, but reviewing their advice is always a good idea.
- Lock all of your home’s entryways 24/7, even when you are home. Most unlawful entry is through doorways and more than half occur during daylight hours. More than 2 million burglaries occur every year- one every 13 seconds.
- Deadbolt all exterior entrances. Every exterior entryway into your home needs a deadbolt with a full 1″ throwbolt. Treat doors leading from the garage to house as exterior doors, install deadbolts. Exterior doors should be solid, 1 – 3/4″ hardwood with secure frames.
- Please don’t hide your key. Never hide keys under a mat, in planters, or taped above a door jamb…burglars know these places. Only leave keys with trusted neighbors and family.
- Glass can shatter your security. A sliding glass door is lifted into position when installed and can be easily lifted out without some precautions in place. Adjust screws in the door track to limit clearance. Place a wooden dowel or broom handle in the door’s track. Retrofit ground floor windows with locking hardware.
- Maintain the appearance of occupancy. Use automatic timers to turn on different lights at different times when you are out of town. Have a trusted neighbor pick up your mail and newspapers or put on hold until you return.
- Intruders fear the spotlight. Use motion-activated light fixtures when possible. Exterior lighting around a home’s perimeter creates a psychological barrier. Light porches and other entrances with at least a 40-watt bulb. Trim overgrown bushes, tree limbs, or landscaping to the height of porches or windows.
- Help the police help you! Report suspicious activity, always. House numbers should be at least 4″ – 6″ high, reflective and visible from the street. Numbers should be illuminated at night. Call the police. Don’t worry about false alarms. Be safe, not sorry.
- Burglars prefer cash. Criminals want cash and items easily fenced for cash like small electronic equipment, computers, cameras, jewelry, and guns. Leaving empty equipment boxes.
- Gone in 60 seconds. Research by the National Crime Prevention Institute shows that burglars generally will work no longer than 60 seconds to obtain entry.
- Join Neighborhood Watch! Neighbors watching out for each other are the most effective method of crime prevention. For more information on how to join, visit cityoforlando.net/police.
Our City’s annual National Night Out event, which helps promote Neighborhood Watch is taking place in the fall again this year, rather than the summer. So goodbye to stifling heat and a high probability of showers and hello to National Night Out on the evening of Tuesday, October 3rd! This night is a great evening where neighbors can come together for large or small gatherings, on their block or in their neighborhood, where they get a chance to fellowship with neighbors and their local first responders in order to build a cohesive network that can help prevent crime in our community.
If you have never been to or hosted a National Night Out event on your street or in your neighborhood, there is no better time to start. With everything going on in our world, now more than ever, we can be the torch bearers for how police/ community relations can and should be.
One last fact, did you know the Orlando Police Department offers free residential security surveys for our citizens? Under this program, an officer will come out to your property and instruct you on how you can better safeguard your home. To schedule your free security survey, call 407.246.2369.
As always, thanks for your support of our great City! Be safe out there and I look forward to seeing you around town this month.

Sustainable management of plant disease outbreaks in agriculture is one of the main challenges of the next years to restore economic and environmental viability of farming practices. Improving early-detection capabilities and disease surveillance is increasingly seen as an obligate step to design appropriate and effective prophylactic measures. In this context, plant diseases caused by wind-dispersed pathogens represent an interesting case of study, since they are particularly complex and hard to observe directly, especially if compared to other dissemination means, and demand for a multidisciplinary approach to be dealt with. Wind dispersal could imply a geographic differentiation in pathogens spreading potential, due to the emerging of local meteorological features. In this work we analyze the spatio-temporal patterns of wind connectivity in Europe and the Mediterranean basin in order to identify possible pathways of Puccinia graminis spores, the causal agent of stem rust of wheat. By running backwards Lagrangian simulations merging a biological layer coupled with a pathogen viability model, we investigate possible long-distance connections between regions in the study area across different seasons. We characterized these regions in terms of network centrality indicators to identify possible spreaders of stem rust of wheat, founding that Central and Western European regions appears to provide highest connectivity for the spread of P. graminis.

- The electric Coda sedan goes on sale in Feb. The 150-mile version will have a base price of $39,900 and the lower-range model will cost $37,250 before tax credits. The company said it expects the choice of range and price to make the car more attractive to car shoppers and boost sales.
“Research shows that the high cost of today’s alternative fuel technologies is one of the largest barriers that keep the average driver from purchasing an electric vehicle,” said Coda chief executive Phil Murtaugh. Making electrics affordable is part of the company’s mission, he said, to put an electric vehicle “into every garage.”
Murtaugh, who spoke with Driver’s Seat, said he expects Coda’s system of battery and thermal management to set its cars apart from other electrics on the market. He said the Coda car keeps its battery in a precise temperature range and also closely controls the way they discharge electricity. As a result, he said, the car’s range is affected less by outside temperature than that of a typical electric vehicle.
Coda announced in November it was beginning production of the Coda sedan. Deliveries of the car are set to begin next month.
Wow..not one of the posters even gives a damn about the environment. How about buying an EV to pollute less? You can buy green power from your utility company. Think of the planet for a change.

By the time you will have to replace the batteries, the new sets will be cheaper and they will also pack more juice. The oil industry should run scared...they will lose this battle in the end.<|endoftext|>(Flickr)

. Who is the audience and how do I influence what they hear, what they believe, and what they remember? It’s amazing how many people go into communication with the attitude of, “What do I want to say?” or “What do I think people need to know?” But your listeners only remember a little of what you say. Understanding that and understanding how to influence it, that’s the difference between good communication and the illusion of communication.
Banking Exchange At times, particularly in broadcast interviews, a person just blatantly ignores the question and responds with their talking points. Is there a way to get your key points across without ignoring the question?
A. One of our insights is that every response should have an acknowledgement, a structure, and a topic. Any short, truthful phrase that says, “I’ve heard the question,” is accepted by the listener. Then you, the respondent, have to decide “Is this a topic I want to dwell on?” That’s critical in terms of influencing viewers’ memory, particularly in short television interviews.
I’ll give you an example. When Travis Engen, former CEO of ITT, was on Squawk Box to talk about a recent acquisition, one of the first questions was, “Are we going to find out you were not the first bidder?” It was not a hostile question but a topic Travis didn’t particularly want to spend time talking about. So he said, “No, I don’t think so,” and then flowed right into, “We’re building up fluid technology for a reason….”
Having responded to the yes/no question with “I don’t think so,” he was done with it. That’s all it deserved, particularly at the beginning of the interview. He knew what topic he wanted to dwell on.
But the worst thing people can do is just ignore the question and say what they want to say. Because if you look like you’re ignoring the questioner, terrible things happen in terms of managing the listening of your audience.
Banking Exchange How do you avoid saying too much?
A. We have a four-point formula that comes in handy: Question acknowledgement, headline, proof point, stop. The goal is not to get everything you know about a topic into a response, but to get one piece that supports your headline and then shut up.
This works in equally well in inter-company communications. Here’s an example: A CEO in the hospitality industry traveled constantly and ran the company on his iPhone. The manager of his tax department was in the habit of responding to the CEO’s phone questions with “reams” of detail. It got to the point where the relationship was going south quickly, and we were called in to help.
We coached the tax exec that when the CEO asks a question the exec must respond so the CEO can read it easily on his phone. So the “headline” response to the question might be, “We think we’ve got our arms around this.” Then say, “Do you want more?” He’ll say yes or no.
Banking Exchange Do you see effective use of social media—Twitter in particular? Or has it just degraded communication?
A. Social can be effective, absolutely, but not all Twitter is equal. You have Twitter building a personality—like Kim Kardashian or President Trump—and Twitter as a universe to pick up complaints. In the latter case, companies like FedEx literally have teams watching what people are saying about them so they can jump on it immediately. But too many companies put stuff out on Twitter that’s just clutter.
To your second point, clearly, one of the things that has degraded communications is anonymity. People say all kinds of things they would never say if their name were attached to it. All the social platforms let people conceal their identity.
Banking Exchange You’ve spoken to banking groups about communicating more often about what banks do for people and communities. Have you seen much response?
A. Banks are doing a better job, but they’ve got to enlist their customers more often in the process, and the simple way is to just ask. Bankers are very concerned about privacy and confidentiality, and that’s wonderful, but they can still ask.
First Financial Bankshares in Texas is a good-sized community banking company. They have some great customer service stories and had a customer do a commercial about one of these stories for them. You need to get the people you’re helping—business or retail—to speak for you.
This is also where social media can be fantastic. Everybody is on Facebook or something today. Plus you’ve got things like the “mommy blogs,” and neighborhood platforms like Nextdoor. That’s where people locally share recommendations for a plumber or an electrician, or share a bank story. These platforms are sweeping the country—they empower local people. Large companies have no clue how to get their arms around them, but they are a fertile opportunity for community banks, which really are neighbors.
Banking Exchange Any other communications pointers you would offer bankers?
A. Bankers should become person-to-person video enabled. In other words be able to talk to your customers and to the community direct to the camera or to an iPhone or iPad. I think bankers are a little behind in terms of understanding that skill both as part of their strategy and in terms of their personal comfort level, but it’s the way the world is going.

By ROBERT JUMPER
ONE FEATHER EDITOR
The Steve Youngdeer American Legion Post 143 Auxiliary hosted a “Creating Community Partnerships” luncheon at Post headquarters on Thursday, Feb. 2. Principal Chief Patrick Lambert and many other leaders in tribal government attended.
Chief Lambert spoke about his commitment to provide veterans’ services and complimented the Women’s Auxiliary for their efforts in fund raising, service provision, and overall care for all veterans. He related he wants to support the efforts of the Auxiliary, particularly in finding those that are in our area.
Patsy Ledford, president of the Auxiliary at Post 143, shared the critical need to not only find the veterans, but to build community and business partnerships to raise the level of care and support that can be afforded to veterans.
The women of the Cherokee-based Auxiliary are involved in numerous veteran support activities, including providing pillows at the VA hospital in Asheville, buying household items for veterans, making hospital visits to wounded veterans and spouses, and serving meals. The 35-member group also solicits donations and holds fund raising events, donating thousands of dollars to veteran causes.
The Auxiliary, through this meeting, says it is reaching out to tribal leadership and the community to support their efforts in a more formal relationship. A packet was given to the attendees that included a “memorandum of agreement”, outlining several services that the Auxiliary hopes tribal programs will commit to.
Ledford also spoke to the need for more aggressive effort to identify area veterans. Their list of veterans in the Cherokee area is lacking, according to Ledford, with many veterans not aware that is help is available for them through the Auxiliary. They are working on an organized outreach to alert veterans and their families of the organization and who to contact to get listed so that communication and help is possible.<|endoftext|>What's Brewing in Alabama? Part.
South Alabama is home to many of the state’s tourist attractions like the U.S.S. Alabama battleship, Dauphin Island and of course, the beaches. Now, there is also a thirst quenching draw to the Alabama’s coastal region. Fairhope Brewing Company is Alabama’s only craft brewery south of Montgomery. Michelle and Brian Kane help run the brewery.
“We all love beer. When Brian and I moved back from Alaska, we’d been in the Pacific Northwest for nearly five years." says Kane. "We knew the craft beer industry was huge, it was a culture almost up there.”
Michelle says, “We came down here and we noticed that the laws had changed and kinda decided we needed to start a brewery.”
Kane says she would actually like to see more breweries start up along the coast.
“We had a good quote from somebody who said 'Craft breweries are not in competition until every craft brewery is not selling everything that they make,' which is exactly what we’re doing and it is what every brewery around the state is doing,” she says.
For those Alabama beer fans who haven’t ventured to their local brewery yet, beer makers are prepared to come to you. The second annual Top of the Hops Craft Beer Festival in Orange Beach attracted craft brewers from all over the country to show what they can do. That includes seven breweries from Alabama. This is where we meet Gabe Harris, the president of Free the Hops, his group was instrumental in changing many of the beer laws in Alabama. He says there is actually a movement to establish an Alabama Beer Trail, and Harris says that is something the state can hang it’s hat on.

I would like to personally welcome you back to Hilldale — hope everyone has a great 2010 and thanks for coming out to enjoy the course. I plan on updating this blog on a regular basis to keep you informed of the latest with regard to course conditions and preparations.
Overall, I’m pleased with the way the golf course came through the winter. Green, tee, and fairway turf conditions look good minus the usual freeze/thaw damage in spots. The Kentucky Bluegrass rough was hit harder than normal this year, but obviously if anything has to come out of winter in a weakened state, let it be the rough! We’ll see how the KBG responds to warmer soil temps over the next few weeks, and if necessary we’ll use a combination of seed, fertilizer, and TLC to get the rough back in good shape. Greens will be mowed tomorrow for the first cut of the season, and we should have the fairways cleaned off within the next day or so. With this amazing weather (60 degrees +), the course is firming up much quicker than normal, so there is a good chance of allowing carts off of paths by Friday (3/19). Frankly, I can’t remember many times this early in March when conditions were favorable for cart traffic on the turf. With more normal temps and precipitation in the forecast next week, cart usage will be monitored very closely.
Again, thanks to all who come out to Hilldale….I look forward to seeing you on the course.

The rapid growth in demand of electricity combined with renewable energy sources (RESs) are presenting serious challenges for the optimal network operation. The future perspective of the dramatic increase in RESs, such as wind and solar energy, may lead to severe problems related to the load dispatch. Other important aspect is the reduction of controllable resources yielding concerns about the reliability issues of such sources. This paper focuses on a new technique for mitigating the irregularity associated with renewable power generation. A new method is proposed for 24-hour and real-time generation schedule as an efficient solution for demand and supply management over the limited control resources of a power system. Load following capability will be considered as critically limited. The flexible operational outcome of the proposed approach satisfies the economical requirements and reliability against uncertainties of RESs.<|endoftext|>If you think the a-XP with a Threadripper was an impressive machine, Mediaworkstations' mobile portable EPYC workstations will take your breath away. The custom PC builder currently sells the a-X1P and a-X2P with up to two AMD EPYC (codename Rome) processors.
Coming in at 15.10 x 23.10 x 9.03 inches, the a-X2P makes the a-XP look like a toy. The system's weight depends hugely on the kind of hardware that you plan to stick in it. Overall, it varies between 40 and 50 lbs.
The a-X2P follows the same design philosophy as the a-XP. The portable briefcase design helps with portability, but the a-X2P has a neat trick up its sleeve: It can accommodate up to six 24-inch displays, making it every mulitasker's dream. Mediaworkstations has both HD and 4K panels available. With an integrated design, featuring a display, keyboard and touchpad, the a-X2P is the perfect traveling companion if you're constantly on the road and need serious processing power.
Logically, the a-X2P uses a dual-socket SP3 motherboard. Once again, the name of the motherboard is kept a mystery. Processor options include the entire EPYC 7002-series lineup, starting from the octa-core EPYC 7252 chip up to the flagship 64-core EPYC 7742 model. Although the motherboard can handle up to 4TB of memory, Mediaworkstations only offers up to 2TB of DDR4-2666 ECC LRDIMM memory.
The a-X2P might use an AMD EPYC processor, but you can only buy it with a Nvidia graphics card. Luckily, you can spec the a-X2P with any Nvidia graphics card that you want, whether it hails from the GeForce RTX 20-series, Titan, Quadro or Tesla families. You can even have up to two of them. As you would expect, the GeForce models are PNY and feature the blower design to expel heat out of the case.
Mediaworkstations provides a plethora of storage devices to choose from. The lengthy list consists of high-speed M.2 NVMe drives, 2.5-inch SSDs, traditional 3.5-inch hard drives, and Intel Optane drives. If you fancy specialized hardware, a-X2P can be equipped with LSI SAS or MegaRAID controller cards and ultra-fast Mellanox network cards.
One thing you can be sure about the a-X2P is that it won't come cheap. The base model with two EPYC 7742, 64GB of memory, Samsung 970 Evo Plus 250GB , GeForce RTX 2060 Super and a single 24-inch HD display will set you back $9,897. A decked-out system will easily put you over the $100,000 mark.

I do not want the United States forces to leave and the Soviets to come in place of them. I do not think we should have any at all.

PURPOSE
To evaluate the safety, efficacy, and on-eye performance of new-generation hybrid contact lenses (HCLs) in visual rehabilitation of eyes with irregular astigmatism and rigid gas-permeable (RGP) contact lens intolerance or failure.
METHODS
The charts of patients who had been fit with new-generation HCLs were retrospectively reviewed. The reason for HCL fit and previous method of correction were noted. After the initial on-eye evaluation, visual and refractive outcomes, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, and lens comfort were evaluated at the last follow-up examination.
RESULTS
Forty-seven eyes of 33 patients could be fit successfully with EyeBrid silicone (LCS, Cane, France) or Airflex (SwissLens, Prilly, Switzerland) lenses. The mean number of trial lenses required for ideal fit was 1.4±0.6 (range; 1-3) lenses. The reason for fit was either centration problems with RGP lenses or RGP intolerance. Twenty-nine eyes of 20 patients (72.5%) continued wearing their lenses more than 10 hr a day and for more than 3 months. In these successful wearers, the visual acuity (VA) improved significantly compared with the baseline uncorrected and spectacle-corrected VA (P<0.01), and no serious adverse events were encountered during the mean follow-up period of 10.1±6.4 months. At the last follow-up examination, patients preferred the new-generation HCLs over their habitual correction in regard to both VA and quality (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
New-generation HCLs seem to provide a viable alternative for visual rehabilitation of irregular astigmatism in selected eyes with RGP intolerance or RGP failure. The ease of the fitting process similar to fitting soft toric lenses and high patient satisfaction seem to be major advantages of these designs.<|endoftext|>inTEST Corporation (NYSE American: INTT), a global supplier of precision-engineered solutions for use in manufacturing and testing across a wide range of markets including automotive, defense/aerospace, energy, industrial, semiconductor and telecommunications, announced today its thermal segment subsidiary, inTEST Thermal Solutions, is introducing an all-new brand identity that includes new logos, colors and designs to unify and visually reinforce the synergies between its three core product lines – Temptronic, Sigma Systems and Thermonics. In addition, a newly-combined, single website will provide quick-and-easy access to all product brands and replace the autonomous multiple websites previously in effect.
The new brand identity for inTEST Thermal Solutions has been revamped and includes revitalized logos, color scheme and overall design, with all three product brands adhering to the same new identity. For decades, the three brands of Temptronic, Sigma Systems and Thermonics have had their own independent branding, unrelated to each other. The new brand identity brings the product brands together with a consistent look-and-feel giving inTEST Thermal Solutions and its three product brands a unified, stronger brand presence worldwide.
Also announced today, inTEST Thermal Solutions will eliminate the use of multiple websites which have previously and independently supported the three product brands. Visitors will now have access to helpful, relevant information about inTEST Thermal Solutions and its corresponding product brands, all under a single company website. The combined website, which will express and display the new branding design standards, will include all of the product, application and technical information from the previous websites.

It comes as other residents say they have been left out of pocket after paying for alternative accommodation despite the builder providing a stipend and hotel accommodation.
About 300 people were evacuated from Opal Tower in Sydney's Olympic Park after a loud cracking sound was heard on December 24, and a large crack appeared on the 10th floor.
The majority of residents are expected to learn whether they can move back in on Friday.
But some living in the worst-affected apartments have already been told by the builder, Icon Co, they will have to wait much longer before they can go home.
Nika Khodjasteh, 27, was living with her boyfriend and flatmate in a third-floor apartment.
She has been told it will be four to six weeks before she can move back in.
"My assumption is they'll keep us in the hotel or put us in the serviced apartment, but I actually have a cat," Ms Khodjasteh said.
"[Builder] Icon is now working with me to provide solutions. And they are being quite flexible, but you know under the circumstances this should have never occurred."
Most residents have been put up in Sydney hotels while engineers assess the damage, and one section of the building has been braced with huge metal jacks to provide structural support.
The ABC understands some residents are being paid around $300 per night in compensation for being forced to move out of a two-bedroom apartment in the complex.
Residents are also reportedly being given $100 per person per day for the cost of food, as not all alternative accommodation has kitchens.
Ehsan Jahanandish was originally provided temporary accommodation at a nearby hotel.
But with no end to the ordeal in site, he has now found his own Airbnb to stay in.
"The reimbursement form that we submitted, they haven't been paying them in full, and I know some people, they haven't received any money at all," he said.
"But for us, we have been receiving some money to recover expenses."
Investigations are today taking place in his level 25 apartment, where workers plan to tear open a section of his wall and roof to take a look at the concrete behind.
Mr Jahanandish said he was unsure if he wanted to move back to the tower.
He has been told he can move back into the tower on Friday, but he does not believe the timeline.
"It's been devastating, it's been very, very difficult … we are anxious and we are stressed, and we have to start working again."
Resident Farzad Rezvani, 35, also moved into Airbnb accommodation after being forced out on Christmas Eve.
The mechanical engineer married just two months ago and had moved into Opal Tower with his wife.
"It's kind of a sad feeling," Mr Rezvani said.
"This unit was our first unit with my wife … so we are kind of attached to this one where we started our married life."
Mr Rezvani said he had trouble contacting the builder to get access to the property to recover their things.
"When I called no-one was picking up, but when I got here the lady in the reception she was friendly and she said it was OK and gave us access to our unit."
A number of renters are concerned they are still being charged rent while they are unable to live in the tower.
Mr Rezvani said the payments had ceased about five days ago. He said he had been told a stipend would be paid until January 7.
A spokeswoman for Icon Co said a large number of residents had been able to access the building, and a contact email and phone number would be answered by a dedicated team.
She said Icon Co had advised residents on Friday it would pay accommodation costs of displaced residents until January 11, when professors Mark Hoffman and John Carter are expected to make a further statement on the building's integrity.
Jacks were installed as a redundancy measure to ensure structural integrity, she said.
Planning Minister Andrew Roberts issued a statement on Friday last week saying Professor Hoffman and Professor Carter, two independent experts brought in by the NSW Government to review the situation, would need more time to complete their work.
The statement said they did not find evidence of issues with the foundations of the building, but believed there were a number of design and construction issues that required further investigation.
The 392-apartment block only opened in 2018.
It sparked a pledge by the NSW Government to crack down on the construction industry, with Minister for Better Regulation Matt Kean saying he will |

Anyone applying for a PhD in social work? Joint MSW/PhD programs? What is your story?
Yes! I've been accepted to the PhD program at the University of Denver for Fall 2021. They had a very early application deadline this year. I'll be moving from Philly to Denver next summer with my partner!
Hello! I'm for social work PhD programs, finishing a joint MBA/MSW and applied to 8 schools, so now we're just waiting to see! I don't have much social work experience and want to study something that most people study in a different subject, so finding potential advisors has been a struggle, but I'm hoping that strong parts of my application (GRE and GPA for sure, hopefully SOP and recs) can make up for me potentially needing to argue why I think an advisor's expertise applies to my work. Outside of work in grad school, I don't have any social work research experience, so I'm hoping that what I'm doing now makes up for it!
I am curious to see how this turns out, but am generally a stress-ball, so who knows!
Thank you! The interview was quite brief, but the faculty were very down-to-earth and fun to talk with. They wanted to hear how a social justice orientation would be applicable to my proposed area of research. Be prepared to talk about how a PhD will be crucial for your career goals. Just be yourself! Best of luck to you!
Current Social Welfare PhD student here. Joined the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy & Practice in Fall 2020, so I’m now in the very first semester of my doctoral studies.
During last year’s app cycle, I remember all too vividly the constant anxiety of waiting for status updates, interview invitations, etc. I checked the gradcafe forum every. single. day, looking for any news to help me piece together realistic university response timeframes and better understand my chances for admission.

1 Five-year survival rates for colorectal cancer diagnosed at the local stage are 90%, but that survival rate drops to 13% for those diagnosed with metastatic disease. Approximately 20% of patients are diagnosed at the metastatic stage. Among patients diagnosed at earlier stages, 50% to 60% eventually go on to develop colorectal metastases.2,3 Initial treatment usually involves a combination of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy tailored to the characteristics of each patient’s disease.3
Fluoropyrimidine-based therapies have served as the backbone of colorectal cancer treatment for decades, and combination-based therapies with this drug class have led to significant reductions in mortality. Unfortunately, tumor cells can develop resistance to fluoropyrimidine-mediated damage, leaving clinicians with few options for heavily pretreated patients.4 The combination of trifluridine and tipiracil (TFD/TPI) has shown clinical activity in patients resistant to 5-flurorouracil (5-FU) and offers a viable alternative for pretreated individuals with metastatic colorectal cancer. Upon administration, the TFD component is incorporated directly into the replicating DNA strand, leading to tumor-cell damage, while the TPI component inhibits the secretion of angiogenic factors and endothelial cell growth.5–7
In September 2015, the Food and Drug Administration approved TFD/TPI (Lon-surf, Taiho Oncology, Inc.) for use in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who have been treated with fluoropyrimi-dine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-based chemotherapy, an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) biological therapy, and—if RAS wild-type—an anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) therapy.8,9
The only other medication with this indication is regorafenib (Stivarga, Bayer HealthCare), a tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved in September 2012.10,11<|endoftext|>Question of the Day: Is There a Better Way for Open Carry Advocates to Get Their Point Across?
The recent kerfuffle in the Lone Star State over Open Carry Texas activists and the seminal picture of the “Chipolte ninjas” got me thinking a bit on the OC situation. I’m of the mindset that OC is tactically a bad idea, but I understand that is a heavily debatable topic. I’m fortunate to live in a state where open carry is available to anyone who can legally own a gun. You need a permit to carry concealed, but open carry is unencumbered. That said, I also happen to live near a couple of states that prohibit open carry and, in fact, can prosecute you for brandishing or even assault if one of your fellow citizens so much as sees your gun tucked in its holster. In those states, concealed means concealed and if you accidentally flash someone a view of your holstered gun, you may have problems . . .
With that in mind, I get the importance of reminding our fellow citizens that gun owners are not dangerous whackjobs and a person who carries a gun is no more (and possibly much less) dangerous to their health than your average police officer. In a place like my state, OC activists can walk around with holstered pistols. Sure, people will see them, but the sight of a holstered pistol is really not that alarming to the average person… even if they even do happen to notice it. Rifles, on the other hand, are a lot more divisive.
The problem is that in states like Texas which prohibit the open carry of pistols, but allow open carry of rifles, activists are left in a bind. The purpose of open carry activism is to both exercise a right as well as show ordinary people that gun folks are also, well, ordinary and there’s nothing to be afraid of. That said, irrespective of your position on gun rights, it’s safe to say that most people would agree that a person walking into a local restaurant in a metropolitan area with a rifle slung over their shoulder is an unusual event (in rural areas, such a sight would be more commonplace).
If you’re not a gun rights person, you may be alarmed. He might be an open carry activist or he might be planning to do something unpleasant with that rifle. Granted, the position in which the rifle is carried can be a tip-off, but if you only saw the dude on the right in the photo above with his hands on the grip of a rifle with a magazine, you’d be foolish not to watch him closely for a bit.
As gun rights supporters, one of our goals is to convert more people over to our side, or at the very least move them away from an anti-gun stance. We need to make our presence and numbers known, but ideally do it in as non-threatening a way as possible. So, the question is, are there alternative ways to raise awareness for OC rights without carrying things that will make the average person (voter) rather nervous? Let’s face it, neither of the two Chipolte ninjas necessarily projects the calming, neighborly image that gun owners want to convey.
What if some enterprising folks printed up some brightly colored shirts, maybe a neon orange that carries a respectful pro-2A message on it? Anyplace you want to present the pro-gun message, get 50-100 people wearing these shirts to just show up. Encourage people nationwide to wear them on the second of every month. Show the masses that there are a lot of us out there and we are their friends and neighbors. Imagine 100 or so people showing up to a Mothers Demand Action rally. It would be a great way to silently show our disapproval and disagreement in a way that they couldn’t claim was particularly threatening. No visible weapons, just 100 or so similarly dressed folks bearing silent witness to the stupidity of their position.
We could even go a step further — print out little handbills with the contact info for local shooting clubs. Have members of those clubs schedule some “welcome to the shooting sports” sessions on the weekends, print that info on the cards and offer one to anyone who engages us in conversation. Let’s show the friendly non-threatening, fun side of gun ownership.
The neon shirts idea sounds pretty good, someone should do that sometime.
Yes, TTAG should get behind this.
Get two or three designs (with a tasteful listing of the TTAG domain) done on the same color tee. A polo shirt would be nice too, provided it’s not too garish. Put the designs in the public domain and also sell them here. I can see reader submitted photos from around the country and a contest where the Armed Intelligencia tells their stories about raising awareness with the general public.
I believe I would partake in such apparel.
Quit talking about it and take my money!!!
I’d buy some shirts like that.
Great idea. While we’re on the subject, can I get a “look at this baby!” T-shirt?
I think open carry is best tactically in most situations and that it is one of the most important educational tools we have at our disposal. That said, I’d prefer if people would put their long guns in scabbards in urban areas or carry without a round in the chamber in urban areas.
Actually a really good idea!
Agree; that is a GREAT idea, and really cuts to the heart of what they are doing.
The approach they are using is more likely to get open carry of long guns banned than it is to make handgun open carry legal.
You have to understand the real motivation of the protesters. Many are losers that are more interested in getting their faces on the news and just use the gun debate as cover for that. So looking at it from that perspective, they have been successful.
We have a very effective group here in Georgia, http://www.georgiacarry.org that has a successful formula for advancing gun rights and that formula can work in other states. Texas is a state that should be open to this approach if they only use it. But again, that may not be their true motivation.
It kinda sounds like you might be projecting there.
Making broad, sweeping judgment statements like that isn’t exactly the best way to be taken seriously.
4) Rational debate. Don’t get emotional, just stick with the facts. People are more likely to respond positively to grown up discussion. Those that won’t were never going to listen anyway.
Regarding #3: That is the single biggest things that has been a game changer for folks that I know that I have been able to actually come out to the range that were previously fencesitters or anti’s. The bare fear of the gun itself was removed (or at least tempered) and with that either made new enthusiasts, or at least created a bit more tolerance from a few anti’s.
Getting them out is the hard part. At least one truly thought that there would be a bunch of drunk, racists hillbillies out ‘shooting up the desert’ with ‘automatic rifles’. Sigh. Quite the game-changer when they actually saw at least semi-organized (it is an ‘open’ shooting area), safe, respectful goings-on.
Getting them started with M&P22 pistols and bolt-action 22LR rifles and an M&P15-22 really help with overcoming the ‘fear factor’. After that, transitioning to an AR (or AK if they choose) is pretty easy.
If I can get a skeptic to come to the range with me I always start by asking what they want to shoot. I have enough variety in my collection that I can usually accommodate their curiosities. Some |
29 year old physically active male, but I have dealt with what I can only guess is CECS for over a year, believing it was shin splints. Whenever I run for about 1/2 mile or longer, or play basketball for any length, the muscles along the outside of my shin swell and tighten, to the point where the muscle and my feet begin to go numb.
I saw an orthopaedic specialist this morning who agrees that these symptoms are typical of CECS. I am scheduled to get a pressure test run where they stick needles in my muscles and measure pressure levels. From what I understand, the only real solution is surgical, and that is not even a 100% fix.
I like to consider myself a highly educated 41 year old guy with a lot of life experience. And I work in healthcare.
So you know I'm not making it up. I only know about this from trying to research what I'm experiencing. It has something to do with the facia of the muscle constricting bloodflow out of the muscle, hence the swelling and numbness.
The same thing can happen to limbs during traumatic accidents, which is called Acute compartment syndrome and is much more serious. It can even lead to loss of limbs. The surgical procedure to relieve this swelling is called a fasciotomoy and basically calls for a large incision in the fascia to relieve pressure.
I dealt with this condition throughout my high school & collegiate running careers. By luck I found out that the problem more or less disappeared if I ran in shoes with minimal cushioning, so I never had to go the surgical route. From what I've read, the surgery has a pretty rough recovery and not an awesome success rate.
I have no personal experience with it, though from what I understand Myofascial release therapy may help. I'd look into that before deciding on surgery.
I had similar symptoms from running anything further than 1/2 mile. That was about 4-5 years ago and symptoms started when I switched shoes to a heavily cushioned high heel lift running shoe. I stopped using those shoes and started using shoes with about 4mm heel lift and symptoms went away gradually. Hope you find an fix.
Update on this because some might find it interesting. I visited an ortho specialist who quickly confirmed my suspicions/ fears.
He ran something called a pressure test on four different compartments in my legs which involved sticking a giant arse needle into my legs (after numbing shots) and checking my pressure like you would a tire or football. He than had me run a mile on the treadmill then checked again.
Apparently my pressure numbers were extremely high and he pretty much told me surgery was my only fix then and there. He says this is a genetic problem and very rare. Just drew the short straw apparently. Oh well. I am told that the procedure has a 96% success rate for the anterior chamber so fairly good outlook.
The first week of recovery was pretty rough and I needed a walker to get around. Had plenty of football to watch and holiday food to eat. Stayed on pain medication about a week. Doing better and healing now but will have some moderate scarring.
I will probably have the go ahead to try running again around March. Hoping to work myself back into shape. It has been tough maintaining a caloric deficit when I basically haven’t been able to run or play sports the last three years but my lift numbers are quite respectable. Here’s to getting back on your feet in the 2021 baws.
Does the surgery keep a “hole” in the fascia?
I had chronic shin issues years ago and developed hernias “holes” in both shins. If my shins get too tight, the tissue sort of bubbles through visibly. So I do SMR and stretching very often.
A few years ago I saw a Dr about it in a bit of paranoia and he told me it’s nothing to worry about, that my body fixed the pressure issue on its own. Apparently it’s common in the upper thigh as well.
That is a good question. My understanding was that the fascia would heal and reconnect, just with more "slack" so that the muscles are unrestricted. I have a follow-up to gey my stitches removed on Thursday and will make a point to have this clarified.<|endoftext|>Before we delve deeper you might want to take a look at this awesome video Wix has put together because of their Wix Editor.
