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.

's life miserable."
Mr Violi said the story was told through George's experiences of not knowing whom to trust and of coming to terms with the many tensions within the prison.
"I play a prison guard called Williams, but you have to watch the movie to see if I am good or bad," he said.
Mr Violi said he had to do some research before getting into character.
"You can research what a prison guard does, but it is all about how you as an actor interpret it," he said.
"They gave me an opportunity to bring my experience to the table and they respected me."
Mr Violi said he enjoyed the cultural mix of the characters.
"When we went out there we were all Aussies, and we put together all of our energy and experiences and we all clicked," he said.
"It was incredible and really uplifting for me as an actor."
Mr Violi said quite a few fledgling actors had been given a start in the film.
"There are a lot of talented people from our area as well," he said.
"I do a lot of mentoring and I know it is not an easy industry to get into, and I am very direct.
"You have to have perseverance and persistence."
Mr Violi said he viewed acting as a life passion.
"The thing about acting is you don't retire," he said.
"You just play different roles."
Details: convictthemovie.com.au<|endoftext|>Each of us dreams of a rich wardrobe with a variety of things, a variety of shoes and accessories. But, if finances at the moment do not allow this, then you should not be upset at all. After all, you can make new things with old hands with old hands. Interested? Then be sure to read on.
Chic Clutch
If you have an unnecessary leather jacket or just a piece of beautiful leather, you can easily make a modern stylish clutch. To do this, also prepare a good, strong zipper, pins, scissors and thread.
First, cut the desired piece of leather, taking into account the fact that 1 - 1.5 cm will be spent on the seam. Then we attach the zipper to one part of the skin with pins.
We sew the zipper with the skin with the help of a sewing machine. If the skin is too thick, you can do it manually using a large needle or awl. After that, take out the pins.
Repeat the same with the second part.
Turning the material inside out and mark the side of the seams on the sides.
Stitch the side parts. This should be done very carefully so as not to break the needle of the sewing machine against the zipper.
Cut off the corners, as noted in the photo.
It remains only to turn out the clutch on the front side.
Blouse with lace inserts
This year the lace has returned to fashion. That is why on many things there are different inserts from this material.
To independently do such a thing, we prepare a shirt, lace, pins, scissors and threads. Instead of lace, you can use unnecessary tablecloths or curtains.
Cut the shirt in the middle of the back to the level of the shoulder blades.
We hem the edges of each side.
Fold the edges of the shirt so that you get a triangle and apply lace. Cut it, leaving 2 cm for the seam on each side.
Attach the inside of the lace to the shirt with pins. And sew on a sewing machine or by hand.
Tuck the bottom edge and hem.
Delicate, feminine shirt is ready!
T-shirt with print “space”
Print “space” has gained incredible popularity among young people. You can buy almost any item and accessory with this pattern. And you can do it yourself.
To do this, prepare:
- black jersey or t-shirt
- bleach
- empty spray bottle
- special paints for fabrics of violet, blue, red, yellow and white.
- sponge
- pencil
- old toothbrush.
Put the paper or oilcloth on the floor. And in a bottle we mix water with bleach in a 1: 1 ratio. Apply liquid to the T-shirt unevenly. Immediately after applying the stain will be orange. Leave the shirt for one hour.
We rinse it in cold water and leave for another hour to dry it a little.
Sponge apply purple paint on white spots and a little bit on the black part of the T-shirt.
Next, add the blue paint and apply it with a sponge around bleached stains. And a little in the center on the purple and black areas.
Use the red paint in the intervals between the spots of blue and purple. And then we apply white paint in the center of the stains that were made with bleach. This is necessary so that they stand out more.
We wet the old toothbrush in white paint and spray it so that there are points of different size on the T-shirt. It is important to do this from different angles. To make the stars, we wet the tip of a sharp pencil in white paint and draw big stars like in the photo.
If the design suits, it leaves the shirt to dry. Then we wash it and can be worn with pleasure!
Stylish Cardigan
To transform an old jumper into a new, stylish, fashionable cardigan is very simple. Just follow the instructions in the photo.
Jeans with hearts
What you need:
- jeans
- paint for fabrics
- sponge or brush
- stencil in the form of hearts
- cardboard

The quiet influence of Kuwait’s Salafis
Movement is known for its credibility and it takes a middle position between government and the opposition

- Supporters of the Kuwaiti opposition listen to speeches by opposition leaders as they gather in Kuwait City last week. Kuwait’s Salafist lawmakers made their voices heard as part of the majority opposition bloc along with more moderate Islamists, particularly on topics relating to religion and freedom of speech.
Kuwait: When Salafists objected to a youth forum on politics and religion in Kuwait earlier this year they took to Twitter and other media, but not to the streets.
While the Gulf state’s Salafistsists taking part in politics for the first time in other countries after the Arab Spring uprisings.
“The Salafi movement is known for its credibility and it takes a middle position between government and the opposition,” Kuwaiti Salafist MP Abdul Latif Al Ameeri said after a parliamentary session earlier this month.
In the most recent election, four Salafists were elected to the 50-member parliament and six other men who share their line of thought also gained seats, he said. In Tunisia, by contrast, thousands of Salafists rioted in the capital last month over an art exhibition they said insulted Muslims.
One of Kuwait’s most vocal Salafist MPs, Waleed Al Tabtabie, has more than 198,000 followers on Twitter.
Some worry that the Salafists’ists themselves — deny a direct political link.
“The Salafists participate in the political system of Kuwait. They are elected and with time they will change and they have changed,” said Shafeeq Gabra, professor of political science at Kuwait University.
“This is a process that this region and Kuwait is going through.”afist (PBUH)abra said.
Political parties are banned and all legislation is subject to veto from the hereditary ruler, currently Sha behaviourmad, a Saudi dissident and scholar at the Institute for Gulf Affairs in Washington.
“This all changed because of the Saudi influence.”
He said the turning point came after Iraqi leader Saddam Hussain.
Some analysts saw Saudi influence — channelled through the Salafis — behind the recent decision to cancel a youth forum that would have included Saudi dissidents.
The Multaga Alnahdah or “Awakening Forum” was meant to bring together liberals and Islamists, Shiites authorised Al yes they are growing. They want to go back to their traditions. They think they are invaded through their culture by the West,” he<|endoftext|>Welcome to Archarity Archarity Admin June 3, 2015 Welcome to Archarity2015-06-02T21:13:51+00:00 No Comment Welcome to Archarity.

Superb. Unrivaled. Completely modernized our online presence & supported us every step of the way
Pros: It is so user-friendly, feels incredibly intuitive and looks brilliant. It has single-handedly changed the entire onboarding process for our organization for the better. It gets excellent feedback and has brought us into the 21st century. I couldn't recommend it highly enough and, in fact, regularly get asked to present it to other healthcare Trusts who can't help but want to have it too!
Cons: There really is very little not to like about this software. Things that in the past might have been a bit tricky have all now been updated so it really is an excellent piece of software and allows you to present the best version of whatever it is you want to present.

Many thanks Robert for your kind words. Hoping to see you and many of your NHS colleagues at our events this summer.
PageTiger is a great way to present materials to employees.
Pros: Overall presentation is great. PageTiger customer service is outstanding and always willing to help and offer solutions.
Cons: Sometimes I find myself clicking around to see what I can do within PageTiger. Also, I wish more photos, graphics, etc were available for free.
I was assisted by the Design Team in creating our Company's New Employee Handbook.
Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: It is very impressive as a tool for engagement of new employees when they are starting out in a business environment they are not familiar with.
Cons: It is not particularly user friendly for the creator. I needed support from the Design Team to edit functions.
Overall: Engaging with new employees to the business.
The team at PageTiger has been awesome to work with. They are very friendly and helpful.
Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: The ability to track data and make engaging content for my employees. I like the ease of setting up templates and making changes.
Cons: The cost of additional features. The prices are fair having said that. Outside of that I can't really think of much. I am still new to the system, but love what I have done so far.
Overall: Better communication with employees and clients
Initial enthusiasm justified by impressive results
Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: It meets our requirements perfectly. Doesn't overcomplicate things while providing a rich variety of options.
Cons: Some of the templates can be inflexible, constraining the choices and approaches to the development of material.
PageTiger is simple to use yet powerful. It's easy to learn and flexible to do what I want. Love it.
Pros: I can easily incorporate any feature I want without spending fruitless hours trying to figure out how to do it. Their support is amazing for those rare times I needed help. Customers and clients love to use the documents produced.
Cons: The only thing I could wish for is that you could access the videos when you are offline. Otherwise this is awesome.
Fabulous tool to use for different purposes

Thank you Daxa. We're adding Clara (our virtual assistant) with the AskClara system being rolled out across all the admin areas so that should help. Great to meet you today at TigerWorks. Hoping you were inspired!
Easy to teach yourself how to use, great interactivity options, value for money
Pros: I really enjoy that the design and interactivity features are now both in the same place. It makes using the software more efficient and takes less time to create new publications.
Cons:.
I haven't been using PageTiger long but so far I've enjoyed my experience with it.
Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: There's tons of different templates to choose from if you want to hit the ground running and start producing publications quickly. These templates let you build up your publication quickly and produce a high quality, professional looking, interactive publication that should keep your readers engaged.
Cons: Templates can be a bit restrictive, if you want the freedom to create your own you can do that but it's a lot more time consuming.
Overall: It's a great new way to share information and record users engagement.
We use Page Tiger mainly for L&D - we started creating brochures, but also using for e-learning
Pros: It's ease of use - after basic training, you can use it for many different purposes- we now use it to create customisable e-learning modules, and we've had great comments from staff on its engaging software and ease of use. Great customer service too - any queries are quickly dealt with, with excellent response and support from the team.
Cons: Not a criticism per se, but as we use it for e-learning, it would be nice to have more intiutive reporting systems. Also, it would be great for our users to write comments in the 'more information' screen - rather than having to rely on an external site. But these are minor suggestions - overall very happy with the product.
A fabulous communications tool that keeps on getting better.
Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: It's so accommodating. What ever you have in mind you to create Page Tiger gives you the freedom to be creative without having to have knowledge of specialist tools.
Cons: I'm struggling to answer this. Possibly the gallery and photo management system, however, I'm not sure how much my frustrations with this are caused by my own lack of knowledge. I have struggled in the 'more info' tool uploading photographs that are determined to appear upside down. I would like to be able to delete photos I will not use again and to be able to create subject folders for pictures so I can find past images quickly.
Overall: A very versatile communications tool with great multi-media functionality.
I absolutely love Pagetiger and it one of the best tools I have ever worked with.
Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: Most of it is so easy to handle, even without any design background you can do stunning pieces. I don't even know where to start with all the positive. More important is my comment in the Cons field, where I have feedback regarding resource management.
Cons:.
Easy to use and engaging
Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: The ability to create interactive documents quickly without complicated programming. The ability to use editable templates as inspiration.
Cons: I haven't found much to dislike yet, it would be nice to use layers a bit more, I would like to be able to have a layer activated by a click or hover rather than using the more info boxes.
Overall: We haven't published much yet but the feedback from those published has been great. The main benefit I see is the statistics functionality.
A great tool that enables you to create a variety of professional business communications.

Latest advancements in Dell’s backup appliance offer customer’s expansion shelves for improved storage capacity, increased “many-to-one” replication capabilities for improved disaster recovery, and additional backup software certifications for enhanced interoperability.
The easy to deploy and manage Dell DR4100, based on the latest Dell PowerEdge 12th generation server platform, is a disk backup target appliance with built-in deduplication and compression technology designed to significantly reduce the amount of storage required for backup and recovery. Benefiting from Dell’s acquired Ocarina data reduction algorithms, customers can eliminate redundant copies of data and decrease disk capacity requirements by up to 93 percent. The appliance performs all data reduction operations, removing this function from the customer’s application and backup servers and eliminating any impact on backup and recovery performance.
New Dell PowerEdge 12th generation server platform can improve storage density with 3 Terabyte drive support.
Scalable Capacity — Offers customers the ability to add up to two expansion shelves (9,18 or 27 Terabytes each), providing seamless scalability and larger capacity than competing platforms. Customers can scale their solution from 2.7 Terabytes to 81 Terabytes of usable capacity — or up to 1.2 Petabytes of logical capacity — as their business and data backup demands grow.
Improved Disaster Recovery — Fast, daily, deduplicated replication of backup data can be performed using many-to-one replication that supports up to 32 nodes in different locations replicating to one central node. This can reduce the burden on IT staff backing-up many sites by providing a simple disaster recovery solution that can help reduce capital and operational costs associated with it, while minimizing backup storage needs at remote offices.
Broader Backup Software Certifications — Designed to work with a vast array of backup software applications, the Dell DR4100 supports leading vendors including Dell (AppAssure and Quest), Symantec, CommVault, Oracle and CA among others.
The Dell DR4100 can be deployed in five initial usable capacity configurations ranging from 2.7 to 27 Terabytes. With its deduplication and compression technology, customers can expect logical capacities at up to 15 times usable capacity. The appliance also features an all-inclusive software licensing model that can reduce storage costs over time by offering premium features such as replication, DR Rapid Data Access and future functionalities, at no additional cost.
The DR4100 will be available in the mid-March timeframe.

Instructed by UCCE Master Gardener, Gerry Hernandez, the class provided the opportunity for gardeners with various experience to create creative habitats and attract a magical and curious fairy to their potted gardens.
Fairy Gardens is the new garden trend where a magical experience can be created in a single pot. Moss, flowers, herbs or other small plants that don’t require a lot of maintenance are planted and miniature figures and items are added. The combination provides a tempting wonderland for fairies.
“This was something we could do that is creative and fun. It allows you to embrace the lighter side of life,” said Mary Kalfsbeek who attended with her daughter and friend.
Attendees also browsed glittered winged figurines, tiny garden furniture and trellises, gypsy wagons, and meditative frog figurines all made available by Davison Drug & Stationery in Colusa.
In addition to purchased items, participants learned how to transform ordinary household items into furnishings fit for a fairy. For example, wine corks were cut into thin rounds with scissors and then nestled into the soil in a pattern. The small circles of cork appeared to be pathways of little stepping stones between the plants and other decorations.
“I liked the decorating part. I chose a bridge, a table and chairs and the arch,” said Ellen Carlson, 12, of Arbuckle.
Some of the younger participants at the event were 4-H members seeking the opportunity to enter their creations in the Colusa County Fair.
“It will be fun to see how much their gardens have grown in three months,” said Colusa County Master Gardener, Sherry Maltby.
Hernandez and the other Master Gardeners commented that they were very satisfied with the turnout.The gardening group expected between 5-10 people at most, and was delightfully surprised with 22 participants.
The UCCE Master Gardeners of Colusa County will host a Succulent Workshop on March 31, 2016, in Arbuckle from 6 PM to 8 PM. The cost is $25 which includes a container, plants, and soil. The deadline to register and pay fees is March 21, 2016.

AIM
Increased plasma-soluble von Willebrand factor (vWF) level, a marker of vascular endothelial cell dysfunction, is a predictor of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. We compared associations between vWF level and markers of inflammation as well as the effects of LMWH in obese as compared to healthy human subjects.
METHODS
Plasma samples were obtained from healthy volunteers (n=32) and obese subjects (n=12) before and after administration of a single subcutaneous dose of tinzaparin, given at 75 IU/kg once a day, a deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis dose. Plasma samples were analyzed for vWF and tumor necrosis factor-alfa (TNF-alfa) using specific and sensitive ELISA.
RESULTS
Obese subjects showed relatively higher plasma levels of TNF-alfa compared with normal-weight subjects. Regression analysis showed that plasma vWF levels to be directly associated with the presence of higher plasma levels of TNF-alfa in these obese subjects. Tinzaparin significantly reduced elevated plasma levels of both vWF and TNF-a levels (P<0.01).
CONCLUSIONS
Plasma values of vWF and TNF-alfa are higher in obese than in normal-weight individuals. Treatment with tinzaparin lowers plasma levels of TNF-alfa in both obese and normal-weight subjects. The levels of vWF were higher in obese subjects than in normal-weight ones, which might be due to the higher levels of circulating TNF-alfa. Tinzaparin reduced vWF levels in these obese subjects.<|endoftext|>Evaluation of different commercial ELISA methods for the serodiagnosis of systemic candidosis
Summary. Different commercial enzyme‐linked immunsorbent assays (ELISA) were evaluated in a preliminary study for diagnosis of systemic candidosis: Biomerica® and Virotech GmbH, which allowed immunoglobulin G detection, and Platelia®, which associated total antibody to antigen detection. They were tested with a home‐made ELISA and compared with the routine techniques used in the hospital laboratory: indirect immunofluorescence and counter‐immunoelectrophoresis. Sera were obtained from patients with probable or proven systemic candidosis (groups 3 and 4, n=8 and n=14, respectively) and from patients without systemic candidosis who were divided into controls (n=10), those hospitalized without Candida isolation (group 1, n=10) and those hospitalized with Candida isolation in a peripheral site (group 2, n=18). The immunoglobulin G ELISAs showed a higher sensitivity associated with lower specificity compared to the indirect immunofluorescence, counter‐immunoelectrophoresis and total immunoglobulin ELISAs. Mannan antigen detection showed the highest specificity (78.9%). Its association with the detection of total anti‐Candida immunoglobulins was more sensitive than the association of indirect immunofluorescence with counter‐immunoelectrophoresis (95.4% versus 59%, respectively) with a specificity of 52.6% (versus 55.2%). Interest in the use of commercial ELISAs, more particularly the Platelia® tests, has to be confirmed in a prospective study with follow‐up of the patients.<|endoftext|>Laser Shock Removal of Nanoparticles from Si Capping Layer of Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography Masks
A new dry laser shock wave generated by a Nd:YAG laser was applied to remove nanosized polystyrene latex (PSL) particles on the silicon capping layer of an extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) mask. UV laser was irradiated on the surface before irradiation with laser shock waves to increase the removal efficiency of the organic PSL particles. Owing to the expected damage to the surfaces, the energy of the UV laser was reduced to 8 mJ and the gap distance between the laser shock wave and the surface was increased to 10.5 mm. UV irradiation alone resulted in the removal of 50% of the particles. Exposure to the UV laser three times increased the removal efficiency to 70%. Over 95 |

it.’
Still staring at the floor she continued.
“I’ve heard that your artwork was a big factor in getting the contract. Everyone’s talking about it . . . about the presentation dinner . . . about you . . .”
God. Did everyone know?
She looked up and met my gaze.
“I know how much you did for us. How important it was. I know . . .”
It was there, in her eyes; genuine compassion . . . shared pain . . .
. . . understanding . . .
Suddenly, I was so ashamed. I had been wrong about Beth . . . terribly wrong. I started to think about the night before last, but shied away from the memory. Kevin Sprague had violated me. But it had been the violation of a school yard bully terrorizing a weaker child. Though Kevin didn’t know it, would never know it, he had raped an illusion. He hadn’t really touched me . . . not the real me . . . at least not physically. When I’d finally made it home, I was able to strip off Pamela and toss her in a corner.
What did Beth do when she got home at night?
I remembered Emma Huddleston’s words about choices and ‘playing The Game’. Perhaps Beth had made a bad choice. Did that give me the right to scorn her? To feel so superior to her? Had all my choices of late turned out the way I’d planned?
And worst of all; if it had been Peter working here instead of Pamela, and if Beth had offered, would I have been quick to turn her down?
Or, would I have used her too?
How different was I from Kevin Sprague?
She turned to go, but paused at the door. “I just wanted to say . . . thank you. That’s all. Thank you Pamela.”
“You’re welcome Beth. Thank you.”
**********
The final irony played itself out that very afternoon.
All the senior staff was called into Old Man North’s office at two. Chairs had been set out for all of us, and I noticed that Josh took a seat as far away from mine as possible. I was puzzling over that when Mr. North called the meeting to order.
“As you all know, I’m moving toward retirement. It is true to say that the acquisition of the Sprague Contract has opened a new door for our fine firm. A door into a shining, promising future, paved, I hope, with success for all of us. Sadly, it is a future in which I will not take an active part.” There were polite murmurs of feigned sadness at the Old Man’s pending departure. He finally stilled them with a raised hand. “Now, now . . . This is as it should be. ‘The old makes way for the new’. It is ‘the new’ that I’ve called you together to discuss.”
“We are moving forward, into the future. But to chart our course we will need young, strong hands at the helm. We need leadership that can benefit from the wisdom of the past, but can also take daring, bold new directions. It is time for our fine firm to waken from the slumber I know we’ve fallen into, and step boldly into the coming millennium.”
You could feel people lean forward in their chairs. We all knew where this was leading.
North paused, scanned the faces, and then sat very erect in his chair.
“It is my great pleasure to announce to you today, the addition of a new General Partner to the firm. A person who is the very embodiment of this bold new thinking, this exciting new direction. A person without whom the fundament of our new future could not have been laid.”
And North looked directly at me . . .
. . . and smiled . . .
“Lady and Gentlemen, I give you; The Firm of Whitman, North . . .”
I sucked in a breath.
” . . . and Arjer”
**********
The days have passed.
Pamela Wright still comes to work everyday, to her office at Whitman, North and Arjer. The charade is impossible to escape, for obvious reasons. I could quit, I suppose, but then what would be the point of all that has gone before? Quit and I’ll be back where I started; an unemployed artist. I won’t even be able to claim Pamela’s success. How could I explain?
Considering what it took to land this job, I don’t relish the prospect of what it might take to land the next!
If I sound bitter, I want to say; I’m not. Well . . . not really.
I live in my own apartment now. I can afford it. It isn’t out of anger with Josh that I moved out. He’d never been anything less than honest with me. I remember my first night as Pamela, sitting at the table over burgers and beers . . . the distant look in Josh’s eyes as he’d said, “Don’t worry Bro, you’ll pay me back . . . and you’ll be doing all the work.” That he might have foreseen everything that’s happened, or perhaps even have planned it . . . that’s a thought I leave untouched. Josh may sometimes be manipulative, but he isn’t an evil or wicked person. Greedy; yes . . . power hungry; yes. But he has his good side too. For two years, he put a roof over my head and never even considered asking for anything in return. Josh Arjer . . my brother . . . he’d give you the coat of his back . . . after he’d checked the pockets for loose change.
I moved out because sometimes a “girl” just needs “her” own space.
I can honestly say I’m happy.
I’m doing the job I’ve wanted to do all my life, the job I love; creating “art”. If part of that “art” is the constant creation of the illusion of woman, well, so be it. It’s not such a great price to pay. We all have “faces” we choose to show to the world. Mine just takes a little more hot water than yours.
Does my acceptance of my situation seem strange to you? Why?
After all . . . Lots of people have to “get dressed” to go to work.<|endoftext|>The newest addition to our lineup of antigen-specific T cells is now here! Announcing our T cells specific for Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV).
About Herpes Simplex Virus
HSV causes cold sores, ocular disease and genital lesions. About 48% Americans ages 14 to 49 carry HSV-1 and 12% of the same population carry HSV-2, but many show no symptoms or suffer nothing more than the occasional cold sore. While often innocuous, the virus can cause more serious infections of the eye leading to blindness and can prove fatal when passed to newborns.
Due to the widespread occurrence of the complex and currently incurable virus, combined with the potentially lethal consequences of transmission, it’s an important virus to study for vaccine development and treatment.
New: HSV-Specific T Cells
Our latest antigen-specific T cell line is CD8+ and specific for an epitope from glycoprotein D of HSV. Glycoprotein D is immunogenic for both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and could be important in developing HSV vaccines.
The HSV-specific T cell line is our third T cell line directed against a member of the larger Herpesvirus family, all of which establish chronic, latent infections in humans. We also have Epstein-Barr Virus-Specific T Cells and Cytomegalovirus-Specific T Cells for further discovery of the Herpesvirus family.
Understanding the biology of this virus family is essential to controlling the various health issues they cause.<|endoftext|>News

creepy, creative or classic? Do you want to be a superhero, a public figure or a movie character? Knowing what you’re looking for makes it much easier to find the right costume. Find your niche! The best costumes are often ones that suit the person wearing them; they will register easily and clearly amongst your friends.
Lastly, execute! Sometimes it can be better to create your costume as opposed to buying it. This is something to consider especially when you’re aiming for originality. Homemade costumes have the potential to be the most clever, but also the trickiest to execute. No matter if your costume is store bought or homemade, make it memorable! Again, the best costumes are those that reflect your personality.
A great way to put a twist on a creepy costume is to mix it with something different. This year, consider turning your celebrity of choice into a zombie, like Marilyn Monroe or Michael Jackson. For the most effective results, buying separate pieces to complete your costume is the best way to go.
If you’re looking to stay classic, you can never go wrong with a good superhero costume. However, it can be difficult to make it memorable. To change that, round up a group of your friends to coordinate. The Avengers’ costumes are a great way to achieve this effect. A superhero/villain combination works just as well, such as Batman-Bane, an anticipated combination for 2012. It’s nearly always a good idea to buy the complete costume for a superhero.
It couldn’t be a better year of inspiration for public figure costumes. Throwing on a shirt and tie and a Mitt Romney or President Obama mask couldn’t be more appropriate this Halloween. Get some of your friends to be secret service to make it really stand out. You could even take your pick of this year’s Olympians to portray. Depending on whom you choose, homemade or store-bought items are at your discretion.
Wanting to get more creative to REALLY stand out? Try creating products or ideas yourself. Ladies, turn a tube-top dress into a soda can or a type of candy. Take a box and create a Facebook profile with your face in the picture slot. Don’t be afraid to use a play on words, or a pun as inspiration.
Don’t forget that you can showcase your costumes in the contest hosted by the Campus Activities Team during Halloween festivities on campus! Use these tips to guide you in your search, and find a costume that fits you personally. Happy hunting!<|endoftext|>Current.”
The article also claims that the reservation is 6 acres which may be an indication that they intend to claim that a portion of the Daisy Parcel is part of the alleged reservation. As we know, they have applied to take the Daisy Parcel in trust but it is still owned in fee by the JIV and is not a reservation or Indian land eligible for gaming under IGRA! They may feel compelled to take the position that it is already part of the reservation because the casino’s grand entrance, elevated driveway, casino propane tank and retention pond are already built on the Daisy Parcel!?!

Well-developed colonies of ants have the ability to causes massive structural and economical damage around the infested areas.
Therefore, you should take immediate measures to eradicate ant colonies before they cause havoc in your household or yard. There are several ant killers available on the market and borax is certainly one of the best, efficient and inexpensive ways to get rid of ants.
How to get rid of ants with borax? Borax or sodium borate is an effective weapon for ant control. You can easily purchase commercial ant control products based on borax ant baits, gels, traps, granules, and more. Borax can be also used to prepare DIY liquid ant killer, baits, or traps by using simple ingredients from your kitchen cabinet.
In the following section, we have provided a complete guide about borax for ant control. This includes methods for preparing natural borax ant killers at home and our recommendations on commercial ant killers based on borax. Let’s start!
Borax for Ants | Information
Borax is a naturally occurring alkaline mineral. It is a compound of boron also known as sodium tetraborate, disodium tetraborate, or sodium borate. This mineral is found in arid regions such as beach, saline lakes, and hot springs. Borax is collected by mining for commercial purposes mainly from Southwest United States, Searles Lakes, and the areas where lakes evaporate seasonally.
This compound is common in cleaning products such as detergents, soaps, toothpaste, and other cleaning products. Other than insecticidal purposes, it can also be used for the removal of fungus, as a weed killer, in cosmetics, and for flower maintenance.
However, it is not considered completely safe as the prolonged exposure of borax may lead to skin or eye irritation. It is advised to use masks and other personal safety equipment while using borax in your house. Keep the borax away from pets and children in order to avoid any mishap.
Does Borax Kill Ants?
Borax has a low toxicity level but it can be fatal for all types of ants. It is considered one of the best weapons to treat ant infestation due to its effectiveness. However, ants are not attracted to borax so you need to add ingredients in the borax to make the poison enticing for the ants. The additives can either be liquid or solids products and you select them according to the type of ants.
Making accurate identification of the ant type will help you to get effective outcomes. As there are thousands of species of ants, they are categorized into different groups according to their food preferences. For example, we have sugar ants that love sugar (carbs) and grease ants that love oils and fats (protein). You may prepare multiple types of borax liquid or solid baits to select the best one for your house or yard.
How Does Borax Kill Ants?
Borax is lethal for ants, the killing mechanism depends upon the methods you use to eradicate ant infestation such as ant baiting or liquid insecticide. When you apply ant baits, the ants take the bait to their nests and consume it. The borax interferes with the digestive system of ants and as a result, the whole colony dies.
This is a slow-acting process but it gets rid of the entire ant colony. The queen also has to consume the bait in order for their colony to be eliminated. The survival of the queen is the survival of the colony. Therefore, the process requires patience and an effective working strategy.
On the other hand, direct treatment with liquid borax insecticide or borax powder can also help to eradicate ant infestation. When you directly apply liquid or solid borax insecticide on the ants it damages their exoskeleton and causes them to dry out which leads to their death.
How Long Does It Take for Borax to Kill Ants?
The time period of the ant extermination depends upon the level of infestation and the method that you are using to get rid of ants. Also, there are other factors such as bait placement. For smaller ant infestation you will see results approximately within a week.
As for the larger infestation, it may take a longer time and you may have to apply multiple baits at the entry point and near shelters of ants. You will see positive results after a few weeks of borax bait treatment for larger ant colonies.
Does Borax Kill Carpenter Ants?
Carpenter ant’s infestation can cause serious structural damage in your house and lawn. These ants build their shelters in dark and damp places and prefer to live in wet woods.
Borax does kill carpenter ants and can be used for their control. Carpenter ants excavate wooden beams or other wooden work and have the potential to cause significant damage. If you see carpenter ants invasion in your house use borax baits, traps, or liquid insecticides to completely eradicate their infestation.
Is Borax Ant Killer Safe for Cats and Dogs?
Although, borax has a low toxicity level its direct contact can cause harm to your cats and dogs. In humans, the longer exposure to borax can result in skin or eye problem. Make sure to keep your pets away after the application of borax traps or baits in your house.
In pets, borax may lead to problems with breathing or coughing. It is also toxic for bugs, cockroaches, rats, and fungus. Take protective measures and follow safety guidelines to avoid any mishap.
Where to Get Borax for Ants?
You can buy borax powder commercially from online shopping sites or from a store near your house at a cheap price.
- Made from anhydrous pure powdered sodium borate with no additives...
- Use as a cleansing booster with your laundry or dish detergent or...
- Borax can be used for a variety of things from rust remover to...
- Non-perishable: Packaged in resealable bag to preserve freshness....
- Odorless, opaque white powder. Available in 1 lb., 2 lb., 5 lb.,...
It mostly comes in partially dehydrated form, having soft white crystals. You can prepare borax insecticide in liquid or you can also directly sprinkle it over the ants to get rid of their colonies.
Can Borax Damage Your Lawn?
Borax is commonly used to eradicate ant invasions in residential areas or in backyards. Keep in mind that borax can be toxic for plants if not applied correctly.
You can apply borax solid or liquid baits both inside and outside but make sure to use a lid or container when you apply borax bait in your garden. Be careful while direct physical contact of borax on the ground can damage your plants as it also can act as a natural herbicide.
Borax vs Boric Acid for Ants
Borax is often confused with boric acid but they are not really the same. Borax is the salt of boric acid. It is a natural mineral collected through mining or from evaporated lake deposits.
Boric acid (or hydrogen borate) is prepared by combining borax with some mineral acid, for example, hydrochloric acid. However, both borax and boric acid can be used as an insecticide for killing ants. Follow safety measures before treatment because boric acid is slightly more toxic than borax powder.
How to Get Rid of Ants With Borax | Borax for Ants
The best solution for preventing an ant invasion is to keep the ants out of your house or to tackle them at the early stages. Remove all the root causes that can lure ants into your house.
However, mishandled ant colonies can wreak havoc in your life. An easy, inexpensive, and effective way to get rid of ants is to use borax which is considered to be both a natural insecticide and herbicide.
Step 1: Identify the Type of Ant Species
Borax is one of the most used ant killers but alone it will not help in the eradication of ants. You need to add some type of ant attractants in the borax that can lure them out of their shelters. There are some ant species that prefer sugary liquid borax baits instead of solid borax baits. Therefore, first carefully inspect the type of ant species, their behavior, and food preferences if you want excellent outcomes.
Step 2: Bait Containers
No matter which type of bait you prepare. You will need a container, lid, or a cotton ball to hold the bait at the target point. The process is slow acting but you will get positive results within a week.
Step 3: Application of the Ant Borax Bait
Locate the ant trails and place the baits at the entry points and near their nests. Borax works perfectly for almost all types of ants. Prepare multiple liquid and solid baits and keep track of which bait works the best.
The other reason for placing multiple types of baits is that the adult ants do not like solid bait and they will only digest liquid baits. On the other hand, larvae ingest solid food and have the ability to process it into a liquid that is later used by the queen.

it during his post-election “thank you” tour. During a December 6 speech in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Trump echoed his campaign speeches and vowed to “drain the swamp of corruption in Washington, D.C.”
He said that at the same time ethics experts were warning that if he doesn’t divest himself from the Trump Organization, he’ll involve himself in conflicts of interest that will violate the Constitution. But Trump reportedly plans to maintain ownership of his business while president.
During a separate NPR interview on Tuesday, Gingrich suggested that Congress should consider changing ethics laws so that they don’t cause problems for Trump and his team of millionaires and billionaires.
“We’ve never seen this kind of wealth in the White House, and so traditional rules don’t work,” Gingrich said. “We’re going to have to think up a whole new approach… Congress can try to figure out how to do this.”
UPDATE: In a video he posted on Twitter on Friday, Gingrich walked his comments back.
“I want to report that I made a big boo-boo,” Gingrich said. “I talked this morning with President-elect Donald Trump and he reminded me, he likes draining the swamp — I mischaracterized it the other day — he intends to drain the swamp. He even describes it as ‘DTS.’”
I goofed. Draining the swamp is in, @realDonaldTrump is going to do it, and the alligators should be worried. #DTS pic.twitter.com/OCO7eaSKvk

Intense action; great bosses; sharp visual design and animation; lovely and meaty pre-rendered cinemas; orchestral soundtrack; twisty and insightful story
More linear than previous Metroid games; unmemorable soundtrack; first person view clunky and pace-breaking; mediocre voice acting
Like most of the main characters in the recently ended TV series Lost, bounty hunter Samus Aran has serious daddy issues. That shouldn’t be too much of a surprise since she was orphaned at a young age and raised by bird people. Yet we’ve never really heard how much she agonizes over this issue until Metroid: Other M, a daring new take on the Metroid video game series that promotes intense action and elaborate story sequences over the solitary exploration and interpretive storytelling the series was previously known for.
For some, this new window into Samus’ soul has been jarring and unwanted. Gamers have spent decades projecting a personality of their design on to “gaming’s first lady.” Roughly, she should be some amalgamation of the Alien movie series’ Ellen Ripley, the Ghost in the Shell series’ Major Motoko Kusanagi, and finished with a dash of Rosie the Riveter. Samus should have an emotional dimension but be driven much more by rational, strategic thinking, rapid reflexes, and major butt-kicking of all enemies — no matter the size.
In this Team Ninja and Nintendo co-developed title, however, she’s revealed to be much more emotionally complex. At times, Samus expresses doubt and paralyzing fear, and also slips into helpless uncertainty when around the man she has fashioned as her father figure, Galactic Federation Army commanding officer Adam Malkovich. Gamers will get to see Samus stunned, intimidated, petulant and even ready to cry (though not all at once; this isn’t Super Princess Peach). Few people expected this range of human emotion when staring at the expressionless green visor of Samus’ helmet over all these years. Whether you’re willing to accept that Samus has more in common with everyday people than an idealized superhero will determine your appreciation of her newest evolution.
Perhaps addressing an action game’s story before its gameplay seems backward, but so much angst has been made about Samus’ mood swings that the intriguing story and the solid gameplay has been nearly pushed aside. For what it’s worth, Samus’ characterization may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but Team Ninja exceeds expectations in creating a fun story with several plot twists, deep thoughts on the manifestation of individual and group psychology, and believable reasons for Samus’ unexpected emotional outbursts. Also, Nintendo’s Yoshio Sakamoto, who was co-creator of the original Metroid and directed every Nintendo-internally-developed Metroid title since (to include the revered Super Metroid), oversaw and directed Other M.
Neither Team Ninja nor Nintendo “pulled a fast one” in this evolution of Samus by involving an outsider who hasn’t had an idea on what makes Samus tick. Conversely, the Metroid games have perhaps given us too many years to come up with our own idealized Samus Aran for this psychology to be revealed today, but given an open mind, Other M‘s story provides entertainment and appeal once you get over her requiring Adam’s “authorization” to use her suit’s myriad power-ups.
The setup: Months (or maybe even a year) after wrapping up her planet- and Mother Brain-destroying mission in Super Metroid, and every particle of the last, exploded baby Metroid is scoured from her suit, a distress beacon blares within Samus’ gunship while she’s touring the galaxy. Samus instinctively sets course for the signal, which is coming from the Bottle Ship, a scientific research complex shaped like, yes, a bottle. This fantastic structure is capable of simulating wildly variant planet terrains within its interior, Star Trek Holodeck-style, ensuring that while Samus will trek through many eerie, ravaged rooms and hallways that bear a striking resemblance to Dead Space‘s USG Ishimura, there will also be time spent in rain forests, lava-filled volcanic areas and, of course, arctic, wintry zones.
All the while, Samus will be working in tandem with a group of Galactic Federation Army troops who have also arrived to investigate the distress signal. Since Samus is a freelance bounty hunter, the troops, former peers of Samus’ when she was in the Army, have jurisdiction. Thus, the man in charge, Malkovich, only allows Samus to assist their investigation for her extra abilities, provided she agrees to follow their orders as well as deactivate a majority of her suit’s powers and weapons (there are too many unknown variables — survivors, animals — to allow Samus to blow everything to kingdom come right off the bat). Malkovich, Samus’ aforementioned father figure and former superior, will also remotely authorize her suit’s abilities to be reactivated on an as-needed basis, as determined by him, even if that means making several trips through deathly heat first.
As with Sakomoto’s earlier GBA titles Metroid Fusion and Metroid Zero Mission, Other M is very directed and linear, but to an even greater degree than its side-scrolling predecessors. Other M is unlikely to have any speed run competitions as the “sequence breaking” and free-roaming nature of previous Metroid games is not built in here: Malkovich has clear assignments of where Samus needs to go, and she must follow them in order. The gamer can return to the ship’s environment in an epilogue side quest, fully powered up and able to explore most of the ship undirected. But if you’re hoping for a “Metroidvania” experience, you’ll have to put that on hold for the 10 hours it takes to get through the game’s main story, collecting roughly 50 percent of all the missile and energy power-ups along the way.
Considerably more forward-thinking than giving a backstory and voice to Samus is Other M‘s gameplay design, which is a hybrid of a 2.5-D side-scrolling platformer (like Yoshi’s Story or the Wii Klonoa remake) and a first-person shooter. Given that the game is controlled exclusively with the Wii remote, there’s no analog or camera control. That said, the mechanics of Samus’ actions are simplified but still dramatic, flashy and exciting. When holding the remote sideways, the directional pad moves Samus horizontally, vertically and “into” halls and rooms just like a regular side-scrolling platform game on a fixed path. The camera constantly swivels to the perfect angle, and walls are made transparent as needed, showcasing a true mastery of camera design by Team Ninja. Some areas provide full movement in any direction instead of a set path, and while jumping is free-form, firing Samus’ arm cannon is not. Her blaster auto-aims at the nearest enemy and can be readjusted by pivoting Samus or simply jumping closer to whatever’s intended to be shot.
A notable upgrade while in the side scrolling mode is Samus’ “sense move” dodge, perhaps inspired by how much counterattacks pay off in Team Ninja’s Dead or Alive series. By tapping any direction just before being hit by an attack, Samus will flip out of harm’s way and reorient her gun’s sights on her assailant. If the firing button is held down during this dodge, Samus will emerge from her evasive maneuver not only aiming at her attacker but with a fully charged-up power shot waiting to be released. This move– not bomb jumping or grapple hooking– is the real lynchpin of all of Other M‘s action and is essential when swarmed by enemies and tackling the numerous, tricky bosses from the game’s start to finish.

paper fan and a pair of kung-fu shoes. He can speak a few eastern languages (japorean-mandarin?) and common skytopian (english).
Generally, despite his affiliations with the pirates, Tommy is accepted by the Skyrates community as one of their own; what he is up to, however, is never quite made clear to anyone.
Personality[]
Loner. Getting him to open up was hard; nowadays it is just impossible.
Character history[]
Tommy lived his early life as a member of the pirates, living off resources looted from unlucky merchants. Life was alright and he found himself a woman that he loves, but their relationship did not last very long. She caught a disease and was waiting for a shipment of medicine from a distant skyland. The bullfrog hauling the cure, however, was marked a pirate craft and was shot down on its way back. Tommy had to watch his love wither away in the end.
After the incident, he joined a band of mercenaries, known for their swarming tactic and being excellent bodyguards. Tommy climbed up the rank pretty fast by raking in business with the eastern nomads (and generally traders with less-than-honest goods). He was then recognized as one of the four capos of the Diamond Convoys, dubbed "Yü Rong of the East" (Note: 'Yü Rong' literally means jade mushroom/fungi. One of the resons he doesn't like being called so.)
Some time later, he decided he had enough of bodyguard business. He left the field works to the younger members within the band and took the position of advisor. He also commissioned a high-end gunship in order to roam the edge of Skytopia, seeking relics and artifacts from the past. His hobby as an archaeologist has not been very successful though, since his band tends to drag him back when big projects show up.
Tommy had taken a few apprentices himself, whom he wish to seed his band and hopefully change it into a more lawful group. Before his dream was realized though, the other DC capos was bought over by Demonphobia and it causes the band to fall apart, and himself branded a wanted criminal. Now planning to overthrow Demonphobia, Tommy holds on to his skyrate friends with similar goal, and rely on them more than before.
More recently, Tommy's band encountered the storm, which brought a huge number of refugees and grounded skyrates to Olio, his base of operation. Tommy offered to house the vitims of the storm in his base and exchanged the resources at hand for his and his remaining bandmates' freedom. Caught in desperate time, the officials accepted Tommy's offer, but only as long as the storm lasts. After the storm, Tommy has no longer the financial prowess to keep a band, thus he split the remaining clan funds with his bandmates and let them go their seperate ways, only bringing his most trusted crews with him on his new venture.
Tommy is currently the leader of Iron Crescent. It was a sudden shift, for reasons known only to people who is directly involved.

Most recent plane: Barashiki - "Bad Kisser"<|endoftext|>If you’re aiming to lose a little weight, then you’ve come to the right place. In this guide, you’re going to discover several effective strategies for losing 10 to 15 pounds quickly and easily. So without any further introduction, let’s get straight to it.
Strategy 1 – Drink a glass of water before every meal
One of the quickest ways to make yourself feel fuller after every meal is to drink a tall glass of water before you sit down to eat. Not only will this keep you well-hydrated, but it will also make even a small, low-calorie meal feel more filling than before – which is perfect for when you’re already following a calorie controlled diet.
Interestingly, there is a growing body of research that shows the act of drinking water before a meal makes a dieter more successful than the ones who don’t – regardless of the diet plan they are following!
Strategy 2 – Half your portions
If you’re searching for a quick, easy, and astonishingly effective dieting strategy that does not involve complex diet plans or avoiding all of your favorite foods – then the half your portions technique is the perfect solution for you.
As the name suggests, all you need to do is half your portions – and if you’re still hungry – eat the other half a few hours later. This will teach you a few surprising things, like how you can still feel full by eating less food than you think.
What’s more, there is no denying how quick and simple this diet can be – because you won’t need to throw away the entire contents of your fridge or seek out strange diet ingredients that the latest fad diet requires. Ultimately, this technique is short, simple, and effective – what more could you want?
TAKE THE 90 DAY WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE
Strategy 3 – Cut out the processed carbs
Despite the huge swathe of new diets that hit the market every year, they often boil down to the same core components. In most cases, they simply involve consuming only lean proteins, and healthy, low carb vegetables.
Of course, this requires a great deal of discipline – because it means you need to cut out those sugary desserts and delightful pizzas – but if you can summon the willpower to eat only lean protein and healthy carbs for 30 days, you’ll be shocked and delighted by the fat loss that ensues.
Strategy 4 – Try the 5/2 diet
Perhaps one of the most interesting diets to have been discovered over the last decade is the 5/2 diet. The core premise of this diet is to eat like you usually would for 5 days of the week, then pick two days out of the week where you’ll stick to just 650 calories a day.
This intermittent fasting diet has shown a lot of promise, and there’s growing evidence to suggest that it can provide a range of other health benefits, too.
Ultimately, there is no denying how easy and convenient this diet can be to follow – especially if you lead a busy, hectic lifestyle which makes it difficult to prepare healthy meals every single day.
By cutting the calories on a weekly, rather than daily schedule, you’ll still be able to achieve dramatic weight loss with just 2 days of dieting a week – and what could be better than that?
Strategy 5 – Train for an event
One of the biggest problems with losing weight isn’t finding the right diet plan, but simply finding the motivation to truly apply yourself. With this in mind, one of the best ways to lose some weight is to train for a specific event – such as a half marathon.
If you’re a competitive person, this will quickly put you into the optimal state of mind for eating better and exercising regularly – and by making your goal to train for your race rather than lose 10 pounds – you’ll often find you have the energy to achieve both goals without struggling to summon the willpower every single day.
Regardless of the event you decide to train for setting a bigger goal is always a great way to motivate yourself – and it often allows you to scoop up the rewards of achieving several smaller goals along the way.
Conclusion
Overall, it’s safe to say that weight loss is a difficult task for most people, even if you’re only aiming to lose 5 to 10 pounds. Of course, this problem can quickly compound when you’re aiming to lose 30 or even 50 pounds. But by adopting a proven strategy that you can incorporate into your lifestyle, youíll quickly discover that you can lose a great deal of weight without really having to focus on the task too much.
If you keep these strategies in mind and give each of them a try, you’ll be sure to find something that works for you, and ultimately you’ll be able to achieve your desired weight without demoralizing yourself too much in the process!

g. Texas Open Carry) and print up hand bills, sling your rifles on your back and hand out the flyers on the street corner. The Chipotle Ninjas are there to provoke people, not to swing fence sitters over to our side.
Another thing that will help would be for US to stop spreading the FUD and lies the media has created.
We need to stop letting the anti’s set the narrative.
Indeed, we do. Part of that means not playing into that narrative, which exactly what most of these “demonstrators” (idiots pictured above included) are doing.
I think the Chipotle Ninjas are really there to put their pix up on the Internet in the vain hope of getting lucky. Just my opinion – flame away.
Sorry, but that TTAG article doesn’t prove anything. It’s the opinion of the writer, along with quotes from OC supporters. No evidence of “police being just off camera” or “friendly managers” was presented; only unsubstantiated claims were made.
Rifle OCers who enter private businesses are severely tarnishing the entire pro-2A movement.
Care to bet that if a survey of 10,000 or more random US citizens were done, more than 1% would have ever even heard of OCT, much less formed an opinion on the issue based on their actions?
As far as the hypothetical 10,000 random polling subjects, I’d bet a fair number of them would have seen MSM reports about OCers in Chipotle, or read HuffPo, Slate, Mother Jones or The Daily Beast, or would have seen pictures on social media. Would they know OCT by name? Probably not. Would they know a group of OCers in Texas are walking into private businesses with military rifles held at the combat ready? I’d bet many of them would.
By the way, as a comment to a quote in the essay itself, I’ve lived in big Texas cities and small ones. I’ve lived in a rural, unincorporated area and spent a lot of time in farming communities. In none of those places would it have been considered normal to walk into a restaurant with an AK or AR.
Agreed. Carrying those big weapons around in public just screams “I have a really small penis”. There’s zero need to carry guns like that around in public. They are hurting more than helping IMHO.
This. A buddy or two. I’d say teams of two. Three if one of is a female. Like it or not- if I see three guys holding rifles I’m thinking worst case scenario. If I see women and children- I’m far less concerned.
Outreach, passing out pamphlets- non confrontational shirts, etc. Easier done with a couple of people than with 20.
And for if you want to marches- might we at least put chamber flags in? Seriously. I get that you want to normalize guns- great. But for people who don’t understand guns, giving the public just a little indication that the gun is incapable of firing at that moment might be good.
Just because you can do a thing, doesn’t mean you should do it. But if you just gotta do it: use common sense, follow the safety rules, and show some etiquette.
I think large, coordinated pro-2nd-amendment rallies would work, at least on a local level. They might not get the state or national media coverage of some open carry demonstrations, but that’s not a bad thing. In this political and PR battle, our side owns the grassroots, while their side owns the big media. We are unlikely to win many people over through national media reports, but we can (and do) have great success at the personal and local level.
1. Dress nicely and otherwise present yourself well.
2. Keep the gun slung. No low ready, even for pictures. Keep in on your back, with no mag and the bolt locked. You’re at a protest, not the range.
3. Carry a non-threatening rifle. The visuals of mall-ninja black rifles scare people, and since this is a PR fight, you don’t want to scare people (whether in person or when they see the photos posted on the internet).
They way lots of folks in places like Wisconsin did it was (I think) great. They had picnics, and dinners. Outtings. Without the dumb-DH#$ guys carrying AKs at the low ready.
Now, granted, most of these were with pistols. which were left in holsters and people just ate lunch, played some Frisbee, had conversations, etc. Easy to do with a pistol.
Rifles on the other hand… hard to do with rifles, so those in Texas have a harder time with that. Maybe if they had get togethers, with SLUNG rifles, picknics, not protests. And dont take photos holding the rifle like you are at the range. leave them slung.
normalization happens by seeing guns in normal situations and nothing happening. in your face, holding a pistol while eating a chicken leg would not have had the impact that just simply holstered pistols did.
Lots of those guys in Texas need to calm down.
You’re correct. Wisconsin rocks…and it’s amazing how quickly things changed considering it’s only been 4 years since they got any concealed or open rights. I’m thinking Illinois could use this approach. I won’t hold my breath.Carrying a rifle in public is WAY down my list of importance,..and living in Illinois I’m getting tired of hearing about the poor down-trodden Texans. Try living here. Flame away.
I was born on the Westside of Chicago, grew up in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago, I went to school in Urbana-Champaign. I left the state when I finished graduate school.. See the progression there?
Before my CCW, I had a 6-8 ft strip from the curb in my yard that was the felon zone because I had school property on three sides within 1k ft.
There is still the OC problem in Wisconsin every State in the Union with 1,000 ft rule for schools if you don’t have CCW permit.
How about don’t open carry rifles at all!!
Want to protest lack of handgun open carry?
How about empty holster protests. Raise people’s curiosity, engage in conversation.
We want to win people over, not drive them into the arms of Demanding Moms.
Stop with the rifles!
By that logic should all protest signs be limited to 3×5 index cards on popsicle sticks?
What, in itself, is wrong with OC of rifles, though?
We really want people not attach mystical powers to guns, but here we do it ourselves: handgun ok, rifle not. It is a bit puzzling.
There’s nothing wrong with open carrying a rifle, in and of itself. The manner in which you do it, though, goes a long way toward how it’s perceived. Toting an AR on a single-point sling with your hand on the grip is not the way to OC a rifle. That would be analogous to carrying a handgun, not in a holster, but in your hand. You see a guy doing that, you have to assume he’s planning to use it, since there are much more convenient ways to carry.
Sling that rifle over your shoulder, and it’s a lot less aggressive and threatening, just as a holstered pistol is less threatening than one being held in the hand.
Perception is important. We didn’t get into this hoplophobic mess overnight, and we’re not going to get out of it quickly, either. We need to be playing a long game, because that’s what our opponents are doing.
Fair enough. No argument. Safety first, and all that.
which is what prompted my question.
I like the idea of carrying a muzzle loader or a lever action. Rifles associated with the early days of the Republic and the winning of the west. Add an empty holster to a Texas open carry demonstration to protest the lack of pistol open carry. Point made, nobody would feel threatened.
Well, we have beat to death this topic in other threads. Looks like we are going hit on it some more though, so here goes.
I believe open carry does more harm than good, even though others have expressed their thoughts against me. But this is America, and we have a right to express any and all thoughts.
Not to go into this whole debate again, but I will just say that in a lot of places, open carry is not the norm. If we expect folks to except OC, then we much approach it with caution. It takes time for folks to get used to somebody coming into a place of business with an AK-47 slung over their shoulder.
And finally, why not carry your long gun in a case?
OCT needs to take a note from Campus Carry crowd and use the ’empty holster’ method + pro-open carry t-shirts. Sure, it isn’t as obvious as the AR-15 over the shoulder; but it is less likely to have major corporations coming out against the RKBA.
I just got back from Texas (vacation) and let me say, that’s a very unfriendly place to have a CCW. Glad to be back in Virginia where I can actually carry my concealed (or open) sidearm into gas stations and restaurants without facing 10 years in prison.

Steven Avery was back in court Tuesday, trying to get a new trial after he was convicted of killing Teresa Halbach. Avery's attorneys contend the jury finding their client guilty of the murder, but not mutilation of a corpse was inconsistent, and therefore warranted a new trial.
Manitowoc County Circuit Judge Patrick Willis didn't agree with their argument. He rejected the motion for a new trial, and ordered the case to proceed to sentencing on June 1st.
Willis says the argument of inconsistent verdicts has a place in civil suits, but not in criminal cases. The judge was not able to locate any reported Wisconsin criminal case where a conviction was reversed on such grounds. He told Avery the motion is better dealt with at the appeals court level, than in circuit court.
Avery was convicted in March for the October 2005 murder of photographer Teresa Halbach at his family's auto salvage yard. He faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison when he's sentenced next month.
<|endoftext|>Ralph Ellison Remembered: An Interview with Albert Murray
MURRAY: When I came to Tuskegee Institute as a freshman in September of 1935, Ralph Ellison was a junior. I noticed that he had a prominent position in the school’s marching band. Since everybody was a cadet in those days, we all had to wear the blue cadet uniforms to drill three days a week, and when we had parade practices, you would see him. When the band was playing in the Alumni Bowl during football games and Captain Drye, who was the bandmaster at that time, would be sitting on the other side of the Bowl with the faculty, Ralph would be the one who would direct the band. He was sort of the concertmaster for the band. Then, when it was time to play “The Tuskegee Song,” Captain Drye would come back and direct the band. At that time, Tuskegee had a School of Music, which was directed by William L. Dawson, the conductor of the renowned Tuskegee Institute Choir. Ralph was a music major, and I was in the School of Education majoring in English. I had a very good English teacher in Morteza Drexel Sprague, who was head of the English department, and he had a list of books that a well-rounded intellectual should read. So I was a regular user of the Hollis Burke Frissell Library, and I would see Ralph in the library where he worked at the main circulation desk. Because I scored high on the entrance exam, I qualified for a special section of freshman English that Mr. Sprague taught, and I was aware that Ralph was in Mr. Sprague’s special advanced course in the English novel. Although he was majoring in music, he seemed to be very much interested in literature. I had become very much interested in contemporary literature—novelists like Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner and poets like T. S. Eliot and Robinson Jeffers. Well, I found out that he was very much interested in these contemporary writers, too.<|endoftext|>Mitral valve finite-element modelling from ultrasound data: a pilot study for a new approach to understand mitral function and clinical scenarios
In the current scientific literature, particular attention is dedicated to the study of the mitral valve and to comprehension of the mechanisms that lead to its normal function, as well as those that trigger possible pathological conditions. One of the adopted approaches consists of computational modelling, which allows quantitative analysis of the mechanical behaviour of the valve by means of continuum mechanics theory and numerical techniques. However, none of the currently available models realistically accounts for all of the aspects that characterize the function of the mitral valve. Here, a new computational model of the mitral valve has been developed from in vivo data, as a first step towards the development of patient-specific models for the evaluation of annuloplasty procedures. A structural finite-element model of the mitral valve has been developed to account for all of the main valvular substructures. In particular, it includes the real geometry and the movement of the annulus and papillary muscles, reconstructed from four-dimensional ultrasound data from a healthy human subject, and a realistic description of the complex mechanical properties of mitral tissues. Preliminary simulations allowed mitral valve closure to be realistically mimicked and the role of annulus and papillary muscle dynamics to be quantified.<|endoftext|>The impact of expired and empty quick-relief asthma inhalers: The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America's Asthma Inhaler Design Survey.
BACKGROUND
Despite the available treatments, asthma remains a serious illness, with a considerable socioeconomic burden associated with a high number of unscheduled visits to the emergency department (ED). Poor adherence and inadequate inhaler technique are contributing factors to poor asthma management and control.
OBJECTIVE
The Asthma Inhaler Design Survey assessed the behaviors, attitudes, needs, and preferences of patients with asthma and their caregivers with regard to quick-relief inhaler usage and device design.
METHODS
The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America invited 19,157 adult patients and parents of children with asthma to take part in an online survey that focused on previous asthma diagnosis, symptom severity, and quick-relief and controller medication use. Opinions were also collected.
RESULTS
Data from 590 respondents (366 adults; 224 children) were included in the final analysis. Relief inhalers were needed and found to be past the expiration date by 284 of 561 (50.6%) and relief inhalers were found to be empty by 270 of 560 (48.2%). Of the empty inhaler group, 28 of 270 (10.4%) had to visit the ED for treatment, 18 of 270 (6.7%) missed work or school for an unscheduled physician office visit, and 54 of 270 (20%) went without treatment. Although 78.5% indicated that they had at least two quick-relief inhalers nearby, these were not always easily accessible. Few respondents (194/578 [33.6%]) indicated that they and/or their child were very confident that they were using their inhaler properly, even though the majority had received some instruction. When asked what they would do to improve satisfaction with their quick-relief inhalers, 173 of 558 (31%) responded that they would add a dose counter.
CONCLUSION
Unnecessary health care utilization and avoidable loss of time at work or school were associated with the lack of full availability of properly functioning quick-relief inhalers when needed. Adding a dose counter was the most frequently cited response for improving satisfaction with quick-relief inhalers. Confidence about proper inhaler use was low, despite previous instruction.<|endoftext|>Manchester United crashed out of the Europa League on Thursday after being beaten 2-1 away at Athletic Bilbao. To be fair, United were thoroughly outplayed by the Spaniards, something Sir Alex Ferguson even admitted after the game.
Lanky Spanish international Fernando “Two L’s” Llorente opened the scoring on 23 minutes courtesy of a superb volley after another star of the show, Iker Muniain, had already hit the post on 14 minutes.
The Red Devils struggled throughout the game against the slick passing of the Basque side, and just after the hour mark, Bilbao made it 2-0 (and 5-2 on aggregate) when Oscar De Marcos fired home.
Wayne Rooney did salvage some pride for United late on, with a magnificent curling effort, but ultimately the Premier League leaders were outclassed by the Spaniards.
At least Ferguson’s men can now focus solely on the Premier League title.
Looks like Barcelona isn’t the only team MU has to catch up too. Maybe La Liga is superior to the Premier League after all, even if it is only a two horse race.
A great day for football.
…we suck… and we are bankrupt….
Hold on, did Man Utd go through 90 minutes without getting a penalty?
I’ve always gotten the feeling the writers here were ABUs.
What happened was very simple. It was a misunderstanding by the deluded Spanish. Athletic, who can only sign players from the Basque region, had not been told that you can only play football if you are paid eye watering amounts of cash.
They hadn’t heard that football is all about money. They thought it was about enthusiasm and skill. They thought it was about playing for their native club. That’s where they made their big mistake.

Histologically, GISTs are classified as spindle cell tumors (70%), epithelioid cell tumors (20%), and mixed-type tumors, which are rarely observed.
Microscopically, GIST can show either spindle cell morphology or epithelioid cell morphology.
Histopathologic examination showed hyperplasia of spindle cells with tendency toward the pulmonary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) [Figure 1]f1 and [Figure 1]f2.
Cutaneous spindle cell lesions encompass a heterogeneous group of tumors that range from reactive to benign, borderline, and malignant tumors.
MSP should be considered in the differential diagnosis of tumours with spindle cell proliferation.
Poorly differentiated spindle cell neoplasms pose a diagnostic challenge to histopathologists because of a lack of specific morphologic features on standard histopathology.
The spindle cell variant was included within the embryonal category along with botryoid and anaplastic variants.

Peter Lyckberg was spotted promoting a labor of love that has occupied the last eight years by its author Peter Bancroft. The World of Gem & Crystal Treasures, co-authored Lyckberg, is a follow-up to Bancroft’s classic Gem and Crystal Treasures, which was published in 1984. Many new gem and specimen mines have come into production since that time, and the new book will bring readers up to date. The book is slated to feature contributions by Pala’s Josh Hall, Bill Larson, and Jason Stephenson, as well as Rob Lavinsky, Bryan Lees and Daniel Trinchillo.
These things don’t happen on their own, of course, and in the spirit of crowdfunding—or perhaps clusterfunding—sponsors are being offered the opportunity to contribute to the effort. Sponsors will receive leather-bound editions of the book, depending on level on contribution, and be acknowledged in the book. Contact Peter Lykberg for more information.

Flux-Grown Synthetic Alexandrites
from Creative Crystals Inc.
Back in the 20th century, beginning in the 1940s, Northern California reporters became fascinated with home-grown crystals of emerald and ruby by San Franciscan Carroll F. Chatham. The story goes that Chatham began “blowing up the family basement” at an early age, eventually turning to crystal cultivation in the garage, before receiving a degree in chemistry from Caltech in 1938. After accounts of his achievements in Gems & Minerals and Lapidary Journal in the late 1950s, Chatham finally hinted to The Denver Post in early 1960 that his success in emerald crystal growth “came from a lucky accident—I won’t say just what.” Indeed, in order to keep the process secret, Chatham never patented it, but the method is now known as the flux process. The Chatham website states that when Chatham left for Caltech in 1931, he left his crystal-growth experiment “running,” but his father cut the power, thereby providing an unwitting but key factor in the experiment’s success, and the beginning of a family business, as well as a name-game—cultured vs. recrystallized vs. processed (anything but synthetic)—that called upon the expertise of famed semanticist S. I. Hayakawa. (See the Chatham news archive for sources.)
In the 1970s, the flux process was applied to the growth of alexandrite by the forbears of Creative Crystals Inc., as is recounted in a new study of the material, “Flux-grown synthetic alexandrites from Creative Crystals Inc.,” by Dr. Karl Schmetzer, Dr. Heinz-Jürgen Bernhardt and Thomas Hainschwang in The Journal of Gemmology (33:1–4, 49–81).
The authors begin the study acknowledging flux growth of chrysoberyl in the mid 19th century. In the 20th century, “modern synthesis” of chrysoberyl and alexandrite (chromium-bearing chrysoberyl) began in the 1960s. Fluxes (e.g., a mixture of lithium-molybdate and molybdenum-oxide) were annealed (heated to high temperature) and allowed to cool slowly. The slow cooling rate is necessary to obtain clean or almost clean (i.e., gem quality) crystals.
While Chatham began marketing his emerald crystals in the 1950s, Creative Crystals Inc. (CCI) brought the first “commercially produced synthetic” alexandrites into the U.S. market in 1972. That same year, Richard Liddicoat wrote up the material in Gems & Gemology (14:4, 102–104), remarking on the hallmarks of flux synthesis as well as a “very attractive” appearance with a strong color change along the line of Russian alexandrites (as opposed to those of Sri Lanka).
Dr. Schmetzer and his coauthors also cite a 1974 description by Wilhelm Friedrich Eppler in the Journal of the German Gemmological Society (23:4, 286–293). Other than general overviews of synthetic gems as a group, no subsequent, detailed studies of the Creative Crystals material have been published. That’s not to say that none exists: Dr. Schmetzer et al. point to what was until now the most detailed study of faceted CCI alexandrites, a 1989 unpublished diploma thesis by Angelika Pohl on natural and synthetic alexandrite, which was performed at the University of Heidelberg. In fact, Dr. Schmetzer was able to examine the same material as Pohl in the late 1980s, and—at that time—a correlation of all observed properties, especially microscopic features, with a particular growth process wasn’t possible.
It was a challenge such as this that provided impetus to Dr. Schmetzer and coauthors to revisit this material. Another challenge, perhaps the most relevant to gemologists and jewelers, is the fact that, while the hallmarks of flux growth—residual flux, metallic particles (from crucible walls)—are detected easily, their absence is problematic: “faceted samples above 10 ct without any diagnostic inclusions are available,” as are included samples that mimic the genuine article. Our readers will recall Susan M. Neider’s close-call with a flawless 2.54-carat alexandrite in a Tiffany setting that seemed—and was—too good to be true.
The more gemologically oriented of our readers will surely appreciate that the present study is the first to detail a gem material that was grown in a slow-cooling flux process in numerous growth cycles with the intention of bringing it to the commercial market. It builds upon Dr. Schmetzer’s experience studying natural alexandrites from different localities (see Schmetzer, K., 2010. Russian alexandrites. Schweizerbart Science Publishers, Stuttgart, Germany, 141 pp. Schmetzer, K., 2011. Measurement and interpretation of growth patterns in chrysoberyl, including alexandrite. Journal of Gemmology, 32:5–8, 129–144).
“Flux grown synthetic alexandrites from Creative Crystals Inc.” begins its experimental section with a description of the study samples, taken from several private and museum collections (e.g., GIA and Smithsonian collections) as well as that of CCI’s David Patterson, who provides a two-page sidebar describing the CCI flux-growth method. (The faceted alexandrites studied in the late 1980s were no longer available.) CCI used a seeding technique (immersion of a seed crystal in the flux solution), and three orientations were identified in the present study, as illustrated below. The study contains a detailed explanation of the seeding procedure, with diagrams and photomicrographs side-by-side to elucidate the text.
Prior to the presentation of details of the seeding technique, however, the study contains a description of the morphology of the sample material. Five of seven crystal faces observed are common in alexandrites in nature from various localities. The dipyramid l is another, larger face seen in the synthetic material, having been described in the literature only as an accessorial face in a single Sri Lankan twinned chrysoberyl, to the authors’ knowledge.
Next, microscopic growth features are covered for both crystals and faceted material. As one might expect, the seed orientation affects the internal growth patterns. Again, the study uses photomicrographs and diagrams to keep it understandable for the reader. Then, the study moves from growth zoning to color zoning—not unrelated, as three pages of excellent photomicrographs makes evident.
Inclusions are handled next. Several photomicrographs display those common inclusions caused by residual flux, from the gossamer-like to the familiar oil-on-water-resist sort seen in flux-healed fractures in ruby. Less common are particles, needles and platelets of platinum (from the crucible). In one case, particles are trapped at the growth boundary. As alluded to above, the largest |

But he did not reveal who that person would be beyond saying that he would be in house. But his partner Charles Munger dropped enough hints in his own letter Saturday.
Jain was educated in India as well as at Harvard Business School. Buffet hired him in 1986 to build a reinsurance business.
Buffett, the Wall Street Journal recalled, once wrote to shareholders that if Munger and his deputy Ajit Jain were ever on a sinking boat and only one of them could be saved, “Swim to Ajit”.
Now Munger, Berkshire’s vice chairman, has hinted that Jain, the 63-year-old head of the conglomerate’s reinsurance business, is part of what appears to be a two-man race to succeed Buffett.
He also suggested that Greg Abel, who runs Berkshire’s energy business, would be another worthy successor.
“Ajit Jain and Greg Abel are proven performers who would probably be under-described as ‘world-class’,” Munger wrote, adding that in some ways, “each is a better business executive than Buffett”.
Both men appear to fit Buffett’s description of the right Berkshire CEO as a “rational, calm and decisive individual who has a broad understanding of business and good insights into human behaviour. It’s important as well that he knows his limits,” the Journal said.
Time also noted that Jain got most mentions in Buffett’s annual letter. “(Jain’s) mind, moreover, is an idea factory,” Buffett writes in the letter.
But at 63, Jain may be a little too old for the job, if Buffett sticks to his prescribed age range, it said.<|endoftext|>Canada downs Switzerland to stay perfect at U18 Worlds
Canada earned their second win in as many days Friday at the IIHF U18 World Championship in Sweden, defeating Switzerland 7-4.
Forward Brayden Tracey (Calgary, Alta. / Moose Jaw Warriors) had a pair of goals and an assist for Canada, following a two-goal performance in Thursday’s tournament-opening comeback for Canada against Finland.
Captain Peyton Krebs (Okotoks, Alta. / Winnipeg ICE) and Connor Zary (Saskatoon, Sask. / Kamloops Blazers) each had a goal and an assist in the win. Dylan Cozens (Whitehorse, Yukon / Lethbridge Hurricanes).
Leading 3-0 after 20 minutes, Canada nearly coughed up the lead, but held a tight 4-3 advantage heading to the third. There, Canada struck for three more goals to finish off the game. Tracey’s second goal of the night counted as the game-winning goal while Cozens added the insurance marker.
Taylor Gautheir (Calgary, Alta. / Prince George Cougars) stopped 24 shots to pick up the win.
Tracey currently ranks fifth in tournament scoring with five points (4G-1A) through two games. Krebs ranks sixth with four points (2G-2A). Gauthier leads all players at the tournament in saves made with 63 through two games. His .900 save percentage ranks fourth.
Canada will have Saturday off at the tournament, returning to action Sunday against Belarus.

Climate change and global warming are now undeniably with us. The evidence for them is overwhelming and even former “deniers” now concede that something significant (and unwelcome) is happening.
The real question now is “what do we do about it?” Some response is clearly needed. The biggest obstacle to effective action is the widespread belief, particularly on the part of those who maintain that the market must never be second-guessed, that combatting global warming will be bad for the economy.
We see this particularly when it comes to energy sources. The reliance on fossil fuels – coal, gas and oil – is correctly recognised as the principal factor in creating climate change; not only is the process of getting them out of the ground damaging to the environment, both at sea and on land, but burning them to produce electricity spews vast quantities of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
But doing without fossil fuels is widely seen as a recipe for economic slowdown. The government’s decision to stop the prospecting for gas and oil reserves at sea, for example, has been lamented as a step backwards in economic terms.
At first sight, this reliance on fossil fuels – and the belief that we cannot do without them – seems surprising. We live on a planet that is bursting with energy sources. We can see energy sources wherever we look – in the wind, the tides and rivers, in geothermal steam, and most of all in the sunshine.
All that we need is a little effort and investment so as to turn these natural energy supplies to account. The technology is rapidly developing to make this possible.
Nowhere is this more apparent than in the eastern Bay of Plenty where I live and which is blessed with abundant sunshine. Day after day, the sun shines on our roof and large quantities of potential (and free) energy go to waste.
My neighbours and I have decided to do something about it. A number of us have decided to install solar panels on our roofs and to harvest the energy they will produce. We are satisfied that the benefits we gain will outweigh the installation cost and that we will enjoy a future in which the cost of electricity will cease to be a major burden on our budgets.
More importantly than the boost to our finances, we believe that our investment points the way to
a solution to the climate change issue. If ending our dependence on fossil fuels can be shown to be economically as well as environmentally the way to go, the major obstacle to effective action will have been removed and replaced by an incentive to greater efficiency in every sense.
We have a plan to replace our current car, when the time comes, with an electric one (which we should be able to charge from solar power), so that we will further reduce our demand on fossil fuels. And quite apart from all these material gains, we hope to enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that, rather than exhausting the earth’s natural (but finite) resources by digging them up and burning them, we will be working with the planet to use the resources that it provides to us for nothing and in abundance.
We owe it ourselves, to future generations, and our planet, to use our human ingenuity to preserve what we have and can pass on. Best of all, we don’t need to wait for someone else – such as the government – to do something about climate change; we can take action ourselves.
There is of course a capital cost but it will be repaid by the savings we make; it might well make economic sense, in some circumstances, to extend a mortgage so as to make an investment that produces such obvious benefits.
That is not to say that there isn’t a role for a far-sighted government. Tax or other incentives could well help to stimulate the uptake of solar power (or other renewable sources such as wind power). But the real message is that we need not sit helplessly by, wringing our hands, while our planet fries. We have at least part of the solution in our own hands.

Walau bagaimanapun, satu masalah yang agak besar dengan perkongsian kereta ketika digunakan di bandar – anda masih perlu mengembalikan kereta ke tempat yang ditentukan dan mencari jalan pulang dari sana. Well, di Subang Jaya dan Petaling Jaya masalah ini telah diselesaikan.
Ini kerana GoCar Malaysia telah bekerjasama dengan Smart Selangor Parking dan Flexi Parking untuk membolehkan pengguna meletak kenderaan di mana-mana tempat letak kenderaan mereka di tepi jalan di Petaling Jaya atau Subang Jaya. Ini adalah ciri Perjalanan Sehala GoCar (sebelumnya disebut ‘free-floating’). Ini menjadikan perkhidmatan mereka jauh lebih senang sekarang.
Sudah tentu, bukan seperti GoCar Hub, tempat letak kereta tepi jalan tidak disediakan khas untuk kenderaan GoCar.

<|endoftext|>Machine Gun Kelly will soon be reunited with his stolen purple Aston Martin … TMZ’s learned cops found it almost a week after it had been reported stolen.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … LAPD officers were out on patrol late Sunday night when they spotted the whip — someone drove it past their patrol car. The officers weren’t in position to immediately go after it, but did later search the area and spotted the British sports car.
Our sources say cops found it abandoned in the driveway of a house with the engine running. We’re told the suspect, or suspects, were gone by the time cops got there. Good news for MGK … cops impounded the Aston Martin and say it’s still in good shape.
As of Monday, the car’s still at the impound lot, but we’re sure MGK’s anxious for a reunion. This is the same Aston Martin he was seen riding around in with Megan Fox back in May — so yeah … good memories!
“Flipping Out” star Jeff Lewis was the one who let it out of the bag last week that MGK’s car had been stolen … claiming on his “Jeff Lewis Live” show on SiriusXM that he got a call from the new owner of his L.A. crib, who is now MGK’s neighbor.
Jeff says the new owner of his house wanted to know if the security cameras there might have captured the theft. No dice … he says MGK’s driveway is out of camera view. Luckily, cops tracked it down the old fashioned way.
<|endoftext|>Why does salmon have an L in it?
Is the letter L in almond silent?
How do Brits pronounce oregano?
Apparently, salmon, that word comes to us with French influence and the letter ‘l’ is not pronounced.
It actually modifies the sound of the letter ‘a’..
According to Merriam-Webster’s pronunciation, the “L” in salmon is silent.
Tips to improve your English pronunciation: Break ‘oregano’ down into sounds: [ORR] + [I] + [GAA] + [NOH] – say it out loud and exaggerate the sounds until you can consistently produce them.

We haven’t sold any of their stairlifts for a w​hile now and this company is now refusing to supply us spares, even for the stairlifts they sold us!
Is anyone else having this problem? Can they legally do this?
I find this particularly irritating as we have (and continue to) put significant effort into helping them locate and repair their dodgy batch of stairlifts.
Please let me know if you are having problems too? I plan to contact trading standards on this matter and they might take it more seriously if there are more companies affected.
The worst company to deal with in the industry by miles so nothing surprises me, are they giving you a reason?
Their reason is “because we don’t buy their stairlifts”!!!
We use them tbh, but with gearboxes leaking left right and centre a change to another company will be on the cards soon.
Nothing grinds my gears more than an empty gearbox!!!

It was good to finally own Tomas Soucek (£5.2m) for one of his goals. Captain Sonny did the business against Leeds. I think we'll all be targeting Leeds with the captaincy quite often for the rest of the season! Despite only four of my players returning more than two points, I somehow managed a green arrow, this highlights the importance of getting the captaincy pick right.

you really can’t stand to see another ad again, then please consider supporting our work with a contribution to wikiHow. Take a small container, mix the food coloring of your choice with a clear gel … If this bothers you, leave the rose in the dye longer. If you want them to be less visible, leave the rose in the water for twice the recommended time. Different color dyes seem to work at different rates due to the chemical makeup of the dye, while different brands of food coloring also affect the rate of color absorption. With a little bit of water, food coloring, and time, however, you can make your rose almost any color you want. Trim each stem to about 10″ long. They will only rot in the water and make it murky. Be sure to use fresh roses. Rose petals will have small veins. This will limit the amount of space you need to stretch the stems over. This will also help the roses turn out brighter. If you want to, you can stick it into a bud vase before inserting it into the cake. Next, place the roses in a vase filled with plain water while you prepare your dye bath of warm water and food coloring or liquid watercolor. To get a vibrate color using grocery store food coloring, I usually end up using half the tiny bottle. This type of coloring agent is still very popular especially since the food network came out with a "Frost by Numbers: How to Make Frosting Colors" chart which uses only this type of food coloring in the four base colors to produce a rainbow of shade options.

and their home record against top-half teams is W0 D2 L7, which does not inspire much confidence.
Villa's defensive weaknesses have been exposed in most matches against the better teams and their home record when conceding is W2 D1 L9, with the points coming against Burnley, Brighton and Watford, who are all among the lower-scoring away sides (averaging no better than a goal per away game).
Everton are the lowest-placed team Arsenal have failed to score against on the road but they have defensive frailties of their own and their away record of W3 D6 L3 when scoring is not that good.
Arteta hasn't really improved Arsenal's away form yet with a record of W2 D4 L3 in the Premier League, although the wins have come since the restart (plus they won at Sheffield United in the FA Cup quarter-final) and their only blanks on the road have been on testing trips to Burnley and Manchester City.
Arsenal may be a little short at [2.15] but the away win is the most likely result on form, especially on the back of the past week's wins over the best two teams in England.
Arsenal to win and both teams to score is worth considering with these shaky defences, but the selection for juicier odds is Arsenal off -1 on the Asian handicap at 3.10, which is a successful bet if they win by two or more goals, and no bet if they win by a single goal.
High goals figures
Both teams lean towards over 2.5 goals overall (Aston Villa 61% and Arsenal 56%).
Villa's figures are the same home and away, but Arsenal edge towards under 2.5 goals on the road (56%).
With the home side needing to keep attacking unless they have a lead to protect, it is no surprise that over 2.5 goals is clear favourite at 1.72.
Opta Stat
Arsenal have won their last seven meetings with Aston Villa in all competitions by an aggregate score of 23-3. The Gunners are 25.00 for a 3-0 win.

Or some Blackberry. It's okay. It's not their fault. People who were born after, say, 2003, would have been brought up in a world of many types of smartphones, Xbox consoles and the very beginning of the internet of things. You know, this digital-everything world we live in now.
The older, more wise amongst us know better. Millennials (or whatever they call the really young people now), the best cellphone ever made was the Nokia 3310. For one reason: it was really, really good at being a cellphone. Aside from a huge range of impressive features, including predictive text, a calculator and games (remember Snake?!), the battery lasted more than a day, and it was damn near indestructible. Don't take my word for it. There's an entire Youtube subculture dedicated to the sheer awesomeness of the 3310's build.
(Before any of you smug millennials write in to say that the phone was destroyed, the fact that it required a sledgehammer is the point.)
Well, there's incredibly good news for those who are nostalgic for the 3310. HMD Global Oy, the company with exclusive rights to market Nokia phones is poised to unveil a 3310 homage on February 26 in Barcelona.
Venturebeat reports: €59, this new incarnation seems priced competitively enough to win over nostalgic former owners for use as a second phone.
The company will also be launching two new downmarket Android phones, but nobody is excited about that...
A time capsule buried by Blue Peter in 1998 was accidentally dug up 33 years early.— Toby Tarrant (@tobytarrant) February 2, 2017

When I was pregnant with Anna and still teaching, a colleague told me that after I became a mother I would become a different teacher. That I would be more empathetic; that I would understand more all the ways my job mattered (and didn't matter). I never got a chance to fully understand if he was right, since my teaching jobs now are very different than every day in a public school. But now that I'm on the other side of the coin, with a child now almost finished with Kindergarten, I get what he was saying. Here are a few things I've learned about school, now that I'm a parent:
1. My words really, really matter
Anna loves school. Loves. Aaron loves school so much that he cries most Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings because he can't go to school. I credit great schools and teachers for that, but I got to thinking the other day about how many times I dealt with kids who had huge chips on their shoulders about school. Teachers were always out to get them. The system was always 'stupid' or rigged. In my years teaching, I always blamed that way of thinking on being a jaded teenager. It never occurred to me that those were sentiments they were probably hearing at home, too. So even though I'm totally in support of asking questions about methodology and rationale, at home it's really important that my kids hear that I think their teachers are worth listening to and learning from.
2. Teachers don't get paid enough
I mean, who doesn't know that? But I know it so much more now, now that I'm part of supporting a family and trying to figure out budgets and college and savings plans. So many teachers are parents, too. We can't possibly think it's okay to keep them juuuuust above the poverty line, when their jobs are so important. We can't possibly put the demands we do on teachers and not compensate them for it. And yet we do.
3. It's a little, teeny tiny bit okay to miss school sometimes
I was a strict teacher in several ways, and one of those ways was with attendance. If school is in session, you go. Unless you're sick, someone is dead, or some other major calamity is going on, you get to school. I had very little patience for kids who were constantly off to long weekends to hunt or play a sport, and I had ZERO patience for the parents who sent me emails from the car telling me their kid was missing the next couple days to hang with grandma so could I please send some work.
I'm getting angry just thinking about it.
But now, on the other side, I am more understanding of this. Don't get me wrong- Disney is not an excuse to miss a week of school. And no, your family trip up north isn't equal to the learning you get in your classroom environment. But family time is so scarce for some families (mine included), and sometimes there are some things that can be carefully calculated to be an okay-ish reason to skip school.
As long as you tell the teacher FAR in advance.
And don't email from the car.
And don't act surprised when your kid comes back to school and is behind- that is what happens when you miss school.
4. Why didn't I ask for help??
I often tell the story of the time I was photocopying the play Antigone for my sophomores because I didn't have enough copies for my class. Not only is that illegal, but it went against everything I stood for as a writer and reader. But what was I supposed to do? I needed the books and didn't have them.
It never occurred to me to send out an SOS call. I could have asked the PTO, I could have emailed the parents in my class, I could have put out a desperate plea on Facebook. I don't think it was pride that kept me from those things-- it was this weird sense that I was on my own island and that no one was supporting me.
But now, on the other side, I would welcome an email like that from my child's teacher. In fact, I just sent an email asking her if there's anything I can re-stock for her room for next year as an end-of-year gift. The parent community is there to help, and I should have asked for it when I needed it.
5. And speaking of community...
We are in this together. Principals often say things like that, how 'we are a community' and 'we are a team', but I can't say I ever truly felt that when I was teaching. I often felt like I was just trying to keep my head above water as the waves of work and expectation crashed over me. But we are a community, and those aren't just words to appease parents and board members. We are all working toward the same objective of lifelong learners. It would be awesome and transformative if we acted like it.<|endoftext|>And the Seven stars pier is history!!!! The waves are tremendous and crashing into the dunes.

pocket anywhere you go, even another country. It also can’t be hacked or erased.
Reason 10: Apart from being unhackeable or erased, precious metals are one of the few assets that offer anonymity. It is a private and confidential form of wealth.
Reason 11: The precious metals market is quite unique in terms of diversity. It can add a lot of variety to any investor’s portfolio. You can get from Ameircan silver eagles to Australian platinum platypus.
Reason 12: Precious metals are valuable globally. Regardless what currency you use ($, €, ¥, £), if it loses value or becomes worthless, it is always a good idea to own a globally valuable good like precious metals. Even more considering that…
Reason 13: Gold and Silver are easily liquefied. Whether you have gold and/or silver in coins or bars, trading them for cash is fast and easy.
Reason 14: You dont need to be an expert to invest in it. There is no need for special skill to purchase gold or silver.
This chart shows how gold has performed when there was financial crisis, meltdowns or insecurity. When people fear or are insecure about the economical future they seek the security of precious metals, increasing its demand and therefore raising its value.
A significant number of economic gurus are saying that the economic bubble existing right now is a lot worse than the one that blew up in 2008, people are aware of this and are already buying gold and silver to get some security upon the uncertain future. Everything makes me believe that gold and silver values will hit historical highs when this bubble pops, I would say that if there is a time to invest in gold and silver, the time has come.
After saying that I must say that it is an investment, and even if they are small, there are chances of losing money. Before taking action I do recommend you to do your own research and compare the information given here.

NIFTY OUTLOOK FOR TOMORROW
Nifty bounced back in late trade, helped by heavyweights ITC and HDFC. Nifty closed above 6000 level for the first time in last three sessions on some short covering, rising 13.30 points to 6,001. This means that for three consecutive Nifty opened higher and closed lower and yesterday it just did not recover from 6000. The most critical levels are located between 6000 and 6010 unless this range is decisively cleared you should not be expecting any recovery. ...On any recovery, unless 6042-level is decisively pierced there is hardly any prospect of the market going up further. As we have been belaboring for quite some time, we continue to believe that without a significant correction on both price and time scales, we do not expect the market to move like a one way traffic.

You will be able to track the cost over time, provide insights about their trends, and make better investment decisions.
Solution overview
Amazon EventBridge is a serverless event bus service that makes it easy to connect your applications with data from various sources. In EventBridge, create rules that define a schedule so that this is a rule triggered regularly on the schedule you specify. This is a great fit for frequently retrieving application metadata, which lets you visualize data and see how it changes over time.
Before data can be visualized, it usually undergoes a transformation process where data can be enriched and structured into a format that is optimal for a visualization tool. AWS Step Functions lets you create and coordinate individual tasks into a flexible workflow. Step Functions include built-in error handling, parameter passing, recommended security settings, and state management. This reduces the amount of code you must write and maintain.
After the data is transformed and uploaded into a data store, it can be visualized. Amazon QuickSight is a cloud-scale business intelligence (BI) service that you can utilize to deliver easy-to-understand insights. QuickSight connects to your data in the cloud and combines data from many different sources. In a single data dashboard, QuickSight can include AWS data, third-party data, big data, spreadsheet data, SaaS data, B2B data, and more. As a fully managed cloud-based service, Amazon QuickSight provides enterprise-grade security, global availability, and built-in redundancy. Furthermore, it provides the user-management tools you need to scale, all without any infrastructure to deploy or manage.
Figure 1 illustrates the flow for retrieving the metadata from your applications, processing it, and visualizing it in QuickSight.
Figure 1: Retrieving, processing, and visualizing application metadata
Let’s go through the flow to understand what happens at each step, as shown in Figure 1:
- On a defined scheduled interval, EventBridge invokes AWS Lambda Function.
- Lambda Function retrieves all existing applications and corresponding associated AWS CloudFormation resources and attribute groups names, and invokes the Step Function passing this data as input.
- Step Function Workflow processes each applications metadata one at a time. It utilizes AWS Cost Explorer to retrieve costs for each CloudFormation stack associated with the application. Next, it retrieves metadata information from each attribute group. Then, it formats the data and uploads it to an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket. Lastly, it notifies QuickSight to pull the latest data from Amazon S3.
- QuickSight refreshes the dataset and updates the dashboards.
Visualizing the AppRegistry applications
Let’s assume the scheduler in EventBridge is configured to trigger the Lambda function daily, and you have one AppRegistry application with one CloudFormation stack and one attribute group associated with the application. Let’s also assume that the attribute group stores the following metadata:
When the Step Functions Workflow starts the execution, it collects the information about the application, as well as:
- queries the Cost Explorer to identify the daily cost of the CloudFormation Stack,
- queries the attribute group to identify other costs associated with this application that run outside the AWS environment,
- and uploads the identified information to S3, then QuickSight pulls new data and uploads to the Dashboard.
This process is repeated every day, and your dashboards begin building up over time. As time progresses and you continue to utilize AppRegistry as the repository of your applications and associated resources, you can start to answer some of the most common question about your application costs, such as:
- What are the total costs of all of my applications over the past six months?
- How did the costs of my applications change over the last six months?
- What are the costs of specific applications over last three months, and which application component is most expensive?
A QuickSight dashboard is a read-only snapshot of an analysis that you can share with other Amazon QuickSight users. A dashboard preserves the analysis configuration at the time that you publish it, including things such as filtering, parameters, controls, and sort order.
To answer the first question, create a
Donut chart, grouping by application name and costs, and filtering by time period. Figure 2 illustrates an example Donut chart.
Figure 2: Donut chart – total costs of all applications per application over last six months
To answer the second question, create an
Area line chart, grouping by costs and date and filtering by time period. Figure 3 illustrates an example Area line chart.
Figure 3: Area line chart – total costs of all applications over last six months
To answer the third question, create a
Pie chart, grouping by resource and costs and filtering by time period. Figure 4 illustrates an example Pie chart.
Figure 4: Pie chart – total costs of Applications per Resource over the last three months
Prerequisites
For this solution, you need the following prerequisites:
- Cost Explorer cost allocation tag
aws:cloudformation:stack-idis activated in the Root account. To active this tag, follow the guide Activating the AWS-Generated Cost Allocation Tags.
Note: It can take up to 24 hours for tags to activate.
- An existing S3 bucket where data will be stored and utilized by QuickSight to upload data and be used by visuals.
- You’re signed up for a QuickSight Standard or Enterprise subscription. To sign up, follow the guide Signing Up for an Amazon QuickSight Subscription.
- QuickSight has read permissions to the S3 bucket that is the data source. To grant QuickSight with read permissions to the S3 bucket, follow the guide authorize Amazon QuickSight to access your Amazon S3 bucket.
- Free SPICE capacity in the Region where QuickSight resources are deployed. To learn more about your current SPICE capacity, and how to add additional capacity, see Viewing SPICE Capacity and Usage in an AWS Region and Purch |

Oh and I do have another funny story about gassy bulldogs and dinner guests, but I’ll save that indignity for another day.
Ah, yes, you can always count on pets to teach us a little humility…us with our silly rules about not pooping in the house ;-0
He’s a smart little pooper that pooch o’ yours. He just knew you’d know what to do with it. LOL
oh what a chuckle and a dance down memory lane. our bullie-babies use to do the same thing. love the stories about your bullie-babies!
ps why is it we never learn when it comes to our bullies, if there’s a short cut they will find it.
Haha, I thought my girls were dainty as they refuse to go out in the rain too. You have to hand it to Boz, he was pretty creative, and at least it was outside. I’m sorry, but that ‘sunbathing’ photo is hilarious. Are you sure those two weren’t partying the night before? 😉
My sister’s bulldog, Mack, might be a brother to Boz. Certainly a brother in arms, if not blood. He has done similar things, all with a completely innocent face and wiggling butt.
The only difference is that Mack loves the rain, and ditch water, mud holes – any patch of water he can find.
Ah, but they love their humans most of all.
“Furry, little savants”?
It must be a bulldog trait. Pipi has been known to do this during inclement weather, also. And for me, right outside the door is better than in the corner of the bedroom!
The gassy bulldog comment reminded me of the James Herriot story about a boxer with a flatulence issue. ” ‘Tell me,’ he queried solicitously, ‘How is your farting Boxer today?'” It’s in “James Herriot’s Dog Stories” – if you haven’t seen it before. I laugh myself silly every time I read it.
That’s is funny Victoria, Boz and Gracie have been known to clear a room, so I’ll have to read that story for sure.Thanks for the comment and bringing James Herriot’s Dog Stories to my attention. cheers Tom
My Pembroke Corgi would get into any pond, creek and water puddle but hated taking a bath. He also hated having to go outside to do his business on a rainy day. He’d let me know that he was highly insulted about it. My Great Pyrenees just loves the rain. He is the first dog of mine that ignores rain and thunder. My goats on the other hand think that they will melt if a rain drop lands on them At the first drop of rain they make a mad dash to the barn.
Having critters is always lots of laughs and sometimes tears but I am always grateful to have them in my life. Give Boz and Gracie a kiss for me!
hahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahaha! You have cute & special dogs that make me smile a lot!
I just recently found your blog. Love this post! I have 2 French Bulldogs and they sound so similar to your 2 English. Bull-headed….check! Gas that requires a gas mask…..check! Fear of melting if they get wet……check-check! 🙂 Great blog – I’m enjoying it tremendously.

Not much on whether the game's gotten any creepier. Well, this trailer is pretty freakin' creepy.
Dead Space 2 will be out on PC, 360 and PS3 in January 2011.

I swear, if I hear a reverbed-out and super compressed version of "Ring Around the Rosie" over suspenseful strings accompanied by gruesome creepy imagery one more time in some "scary" trailer...I am going to lose it. There is nothing original or scary about a creepy version of that song. We have all seen it done a million times. What happened to the guys that used Sigur Ros for the Dead Space launch trailer? That was certainly the best I've seen in a while.<|endoftext|>2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Chicago IL

By Matt Shaw
Published in News on September 22, 2004 1:58 PM
The 2004-05 class of Leadership Wayne County began its year with a retreat last weekend at Camp Seagull in Arapahoe.
The 16 class members met at the Wayne County Chamber of Commerce last Friday, then traveled to the camp to participate in team-building exercises for a day and a half.
Classmates were challenged to climb the Alpine Tower, a demanding exercise that builds trust and camaraderie within the group.
The class will now meet one Friday a month for the next seven months for educational sessions that offer an inside look into Wayne County and show ways to get involved in the community. The class will also choose a project to benefit the county and its citizens.
Upon completion of the program, members receive a graduation certificate.
Leadership Wayne County is intended to train people for leadership positions in business, community and governmental affairs. The program is sponsored by the Wayne County Chamber of Commerce and the Wayne Charitable Partnership. Corporate sponsors this year are Accucopy and Wayne Memorial Hospital.
The 2004-05 class consists of Julie Beck, Mount Olive College; Kim Bowers, Hilex Poly Co.; Cheryl Brim, RBC Centura; Karen Burnette, Wayne Community College; Kristy Fair, Wayne County public schools; Darren Goroski, Goldsboro Family YMCA; Jon Highfield, BB&T; Lorie Lee and Julie Odom, Wayne County Partnership for Children; Wayne Luce, Best Distributing; Mitchell Medford, Cooper Bussmann; Sharon O'Dowd, Wayne Memorial Hospital; David Philyaw, T.A.

ABSTRACT Interactions between coinfecting parasites may take various forms, either direct or indirect, facilitative or competitive, and may be mediated by either bottom-up or top-down mechanisms. Although each form of interaction leads to different evolutionary and ecological outcomes, it is challenging to tease them apart throughout the infection period. To establish the first step towards a mechanistic understanding of the interactions between coinfecting limited-term bacterial parasites and lifelong bacterial parasites, we studied the coinfection of Bartonella sp. (limited-term) and Mycoplasma sp. (lifelong), which commonly co-occur in wild rodents. We infected Bartonella- and Mycoplasma-free rodents with each species, and simultaneously with both, and quantified the infection dynamics and host responses. Bartonella benefited from the interaction; its infection load decreased more slowly in coinfected rodents than in rodents infected with Bartonella alone. There were no indications for bottom-up effects, but coinfected rodents experienced various changes, depending on the infection stage, in their body mass, stress levels and activity pattern, which may further affect bacterial replication and transmission. Interestingly, the infection dynamics and changes in the average coinfected rodent traits were more similar to the chronic effects of Mycoplasma infection, whereas coinfection uniquely impaired the host's physiological and behavioral stability. These results suggest that parasites with distinct life history strategies may interact, and their interaction may be asymmetric, non-additive, multifaceted and dynamic through time. Because multiple, sometimes contrasting, forms of interactions are simultaneously at play and their relative importance alternates throughout the course of infection, the overall outcome may change under different ecological conditions. Summary: Coinfection with both limited-term and lifelong bacteria induces physiological and behavioral changes in a rodent host that may make the interaction between these bacteria dynamic over time.<|endoftext|>Lowbush blueberries inhibit scavenger receptors CD36 and SR-A expression and attenuate foam cell formation in ApoE-deficient mice.
Blueberries have recently been reported to reduce atherosclerotic lesion progression in apoE deficient (apoE(-/-)) mice. However, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. The objective of this study was to determine whether lowbush blueberries altered scavenger receptor expression and foam cell formation in apoE(-/-) mice. ApoE(-/-) mice were fed AIN-93 diet (CD) or CD formulated to contain 1% freeze-dried lowbush blueberries (BB) for 20 weeks. Gene expression and protein levels of scavenger receptor CD36 and SR-A in aorta and thioglycollate-elicited peritoneal macrophages (PM) were lower in mice fed BB (P < 0.05). In the second experiment, apoE(-/-) mice were fed CD or BB for 5 weeks. PM were collected and cultured. Gene expression and protein levels of CD36 and SR-A were found to be lower in PM of BB fed mice (P < 0.05). In PM from BB fed mice, fewer oxLDL-induced foam cells were formed compared to those from mice fed CD. Gene expression and protein levels of PPARγ were lower in the PM of BB fed mice (P < 0.05). Detectable isomers of hydroxyoctadecadienoic acids (HODEs) and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETEs) were also lower in the PM of BB fed mice (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). In conclusion, BB inhibited expression of the two major scavenger receptors CD36 and SR-A in PM of apoE(-/-) mice, at least in part through down-regulating PPARγ and reducing its endogenous ligands HODEs and HETEs. We proposed that BB mediated reduction of scavenger receptor expression and attenuation of oxLDL-induced foam cell formation in PM of apoE(-/-) mice are important mechanisms of the athero-protective effects of BB.<|endoftext|>A filtering approach for model selection

Finally, we explore and discuss extensions of the algorithm.<|endoftext|>A Novel Algorithm Based on LoRa Technology for Open-Field and Protected Agriculture Smart Irrigation System
A novel algorithm for smart irrigation system adaptable for both open-field and protected agriculture based on LoRa technology is proposed in this paper. The algorithm suits a networked architecture, in which a central controller is communicating with distributed units of sensors and actuators. Communication within the system units use LoRa devices, where a LoRa is an IoT based technology providing low-power and long-range radio connectivity. Within an agricultural farm, the system can be configured such that it can suit the control of environmental conditions applicable for either an open-field and/or a protected (e.g. greenhouse) agricultures. A database has been developed and designed to comply with the system architecture. The collected data is analyzed and used by the system for automatically adjusting itself to an optimal or semi-optimal performance. At the central control, the user interface offer system monitoring capability, statistics, as well as report generation.<|endoftext|>Realistic Trap Configuration Scheme With Fabrication Processes in Consideration for the Simulations of AlGaN/GaN MIS-HEMT Devices
AlGaN/GaN metal-insulator-semiconductor high-electron mobility transistors (MIS-HEMTs) have become a promising candidate for use in efficient power conversion applications. However, under the practical HEMT device fabrication conditions, additional interfacial trap states generated by the fabrication process will strongly affect the device performance of the MIS-HEMTs. Such influences have so far been considered and modeled only at specific fabrication conditions. At the device design and simulation stage with various different processes, there lacks a simple and versatile scheme for a quick design evaluation. In this paper, we report a scheme of realistic trap configuration with fabrication process taken in consideration. This configuration is able to bring the simulation outcome closer to the actual device performance, which is largely affected by the interfacial trap conditions within various locations. The formation of the proposed configuration scheme started from the raw AlGaN/GaN wafer with transmission-line measurement patterns for 2-D electron gas charge density, followed by benchmarking the normally ON and normally OFF MIS-HEMTs devices made through actual fabrication processes. The relationship between interfacial trap density and fabrication processes was then identified. Finally, a test case on AlGaN/GaN inverter configuration involving both normally ON and normally OFF devices was used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.<|endoftext|>There is FINALLY a bowl for hand mixers! You have no idea how frustrated and angry I get when I use a hand mixer. Not because there is anything wrong with the mixer, but because every time I mix something up, the ingredients go all over the kitchen counter, the floor and my clothes. I've even been known to say a few choice words as I'm cleaning up the sticky floor once again. Thank goodness NewMetro Design created the MixerMate Bowl!
This amazing bowl is shaped perfectly for hand mixers. The bowl shape is an oval which allows the beaters to fit all the way to the bottom, plus the height of the bowl combats flying batter! Plus, the curved edges on the long sides of the bowl both have a pouring edge.
MixerMate gets even better. When you flip the bowl upside down, you'll see that NewMetro Design thought of everything! On the short edges of the bowl, there are hand grips to make holding the bowl even simpler, whether you are a righty or a lefty. Plus the bottom of the bowl has grips to ensure your bowl doesn't go flying while you mix.
I absolutely LOVE the MixerMate Bowl and I think every kitchen should have at least one of them on hand. I have used my MixerMate over and over, even if I'm only mixing with my wooden spoon. It comes in five colors - green, orange, blue, red, and white - so you can |

Means +/- SD and frequencies of low values of the recovery of the breath test were 42.0 +/- 3.4%, 0/5 in the control; 24.2 +/- 10.5%, 14/14 in the preop-PD group; and 18.6 +/- 8.0, 13/13 in the post-PD group. The overall sensitivities in the preop- and post-PD groups were 100% for the recovery and 93% for the maximal mass ratio of the breath test, 89% for the secretin test, 67% for the BT-PABA test, and 64% for fecal chymotrypsin. The recovery of the breath test correlated significantly with the duodenal outputs of lipase, amylase, and chymotrypsin, and was not affected in patients with obstructive jaundice or with low D-xylose absorption. The breath test is as sensitive as the secretin test, more reliable than the conventional tubeless tests, and is available to follow up the exocrine pancreatic function before and after pancreatoduodenectomy.<|endoftext|>A comparison of classical and predictive control algorithms applied to the control of received UHF power in mobile telecommunications

74% of households in the US use an average of 3 to 4 different pesticides per home, with residues found even on surfaces that have never been treated. So how does that happen? First, think of workers in occupations involving the use of chemicals or construction sites. They are more likely to carry them into the home on their shoes. But do you home garden?
Still in the Soil a Year Later.
Chemicals commonly used on lawns and in gardens also get tracked into the home on shoes and can be detected in bodies of both adults and children. While the half-life of most lawn herbicides is 5 weeks, they can still be detected in soil 1 year after treatment.
Plants as a Natural Pesticide.
When trying to avoid chemical pesticides, TreeHugger highlights 9 herbal plants that can not only help to repel insects, but can also be harvested to use in the kitchen when cooking. By including plantings of parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, basil, chives, dill, mint and oregano, one can fend off moths, flies, beetles, worms, ants, and more. TreeHugger even suggests where and where not to place the natural plant repellant.
Limited on Gardening Space.
Maybe you don’t have room for 9 additional plants. That’s okay. If you are looking for alternatives to pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides and fertilizer, your search begins at Beyond Pesticides for a list of products compatible with landscape management.
Alternatives to Chemicals Inside the Home.
Time to make the switch. Garden’s Alive offers environmentally responsible products that work. And they are very inexpensive. I discovered the company’s products 23 years ago when I had a mealy moth infestation in my pantry. Their small cardboard “tent” was nothing more than a dry adhesive lining the tent with a pheromone lure to attract them. When the moths entered, they stuck to the wall. I’ve also used similar products for cellar spiders in the basement. Check them out: gardensalive.com.
This is a great blog! Who knew! This is why many Green Certification programs in the building industry actually award points if you simply design a place for sitting down and removing your shoes at the entry.
Excellent suggestion! It makes me think of my aging parents needing a place to sit down when they take their boots off in the winter!<|endoftext|>Lipid chain-driven interaction of a lipidated Src-family kinase Lyn with the bilayer membrane.
N-Myristoylation is a process of ubiquitous protein modification, which promotes the interaction of lipidated proteins on cell surfaces, in conjunction with reversible S-palmitoylation. We report the cooperative lipid-lipid interaction of two acyl chains of proteins, which increases the protein-membrane interaction and facilitates selective targeting of membranes containing anionic lipids. Lyn is a member of the Src family kinases distributed on the membrane surface by N-myristoyl and neighbouring S-palmitoyl chain anchors at the unique N-terminus domain. We prepared N-terminal short segments of lipidated Lyn to investigate the behaviour of each acyl chain in the lipid composition-dependent membrane interaction by solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis. Solid-state 31P-NMR studies revealed that S-palmitoylation of N-myristoylated Lyn peptides increased the interaction between peptides and phospholipid head groups, particularly with the anionic phosphatidylserine-containing bilayers. The solid-state 2H-NMR of Lyn peptides with a perdeutero N-myristoyl chain indicated an increase (0.6-0.8 Å) in the extent of the N-myristoyl chain in the presence of nearby S-palmitoyl chains, probably through the interaction via the acyl chains. The cooperative hydrocarbon chain interaction of the two acyl chains of Lyn increased membrane binding by extending the hydrocarbon chains deeper into the membrane interior, thereby promoting the peptide-membrane surface interaction between the cationic peptide side chains and the anionic lipid head groups. This lipid-driven mechanism by S-palmitoylation promotes the partition of the lipidated proteins to the cytoplasmic surface of the cell membranes and may be involved in recruiting Lyn at the signalling domains rich in anionic lipids.<|endoftext|>Implantable MEMS drug delivery device for cancer radiation reduction
We present the first implantable MEMS drug delivery device that includes an electrochemical bellows pump, refillable drug reservoir, and dual regulation valve. Multiple drug pump configurations were fabricated, assembled, and tested. Delivery of agents for cancer radiation reduction was demonstrated. In vivo chronic delivery of radiation sensitizing agents in the form of small interfering (siRNA)-gold nanorod complexes (nanoplexes) directly to tumors induced in mice was achieved. Radiation therapy in conjunction with active drug pumping by electrolysis actuation resulted in significant reduction of colon cancer tumor (HT29) size (∼50%) over diffusion-based delivery and intravenous injections. To our knowledge, this is the first MEMS drug delivery pump suitable for safe, efficacious, and local delivery of short half-life siRNA in vivo.<|endoftext|>This year, in a fitting twist of fate, Tax Day and Tax Freedom Day both arrive on April 17. What is Tax Freedom Day? Don’t worry, it doesn’t involve crazies in tricorn hats carrying posters of President Obama with a Hitler mustache (though trust me, April 17 will see its share of crazy protesters). No, Tax Freedom Day is designated annually by the Tax Foundation as the day that Americans have earned enough income to pay off their tax burden.

Can Gambling Losses Be Deducted from Your Tax Return?
The New York City subway system is a scene of many oddities: preteen break dancers spinning on the floor, beggars clanging paper cups full of change, crazies ranting about conspiracy theories, tourists huddled around the map asking directions to Times Square, and commuters whose threshold for weird is so high that they barely raise their eyes from their Kindles.
But tax advice? That’s one of the few things you generally don’t see in Gotham’s labyrinthine tunnels. Last week, however, as I rode home weary from a day of tax writing, the subway tax advice barrier was broken.
A workman – his clothes and work boots scuffed and dirtied by a day of heavy labor – sat … Read more...
There was a time when tax policy actually had the starring role in the 2012 Republican Presidential race.
That was before Sharon Bialek dolled up for the hungry cameras, while her attention-grubbing attorney punned lamely about “stimulus packages”, and related the tale of citizen Cain slipping a hand up her skirt and pulling her head toward his crotch.
That was also before Rick Perry fumbled the presidential pigskin once again as he let the Department of Energy slip from his addled brain with an epically infantile “Oops”.
All anyone could talk about then were Cain’s 9-9-9 tax plan and Perry’s optional … Read more...
Sales Tax / Consumption Tax / FairTax — A Good Idea?
A New York Times editorial by Robert Frank suggests a higher future tax on consumption in order to pay for higher government spending now. He makes a few good points, but seems to miss the larger picture.
It is better to tax consumption than savings, because this encourages responsible behavior. As far as the US tax system is concerned, investing in a startup is as economically useful an activity as buying a huge amount of Fritos (the difference being that if your Fritos turn out to be more delicious than you expected, you aren’t hit with a capital gains tax).
Do income tax rates really matter? The intuitive answer is that they must — a higher income tax discourages people from working as hard as they might, but also provides extra funds to the government. Oddly enough, neither of these points are quite true: according to economist Kurt Hauser, government revenue is always about 19.5% of GDP, whether top tax rates are 91% or 28%. Meanwhile |

Part of this is just the sorry state of my body. Without getting into the sordid details, let’s just say that I really, really wish I could have gone on androgen blockers before I went through puberty. Not only is my body very masculine, but the fact that I for years felt like it was not really my body anyway prompted me to take a rather blasé attitude towards things like physical fitness and personal hygiene. Moreover, my autism causes me to have exceptionally sensitive skin (a problem which is only exacerbated by the consumption of female hormones) and so waxing (at least unprofessional waxing) is not really an option for me. Thus, I have in general stayed away from shirts with less-conservative female necklines out of a desire to not “gross out” my friends by forcing them to stare at my lamentably prodigious chest hair.
The main reason that I have avoided extremely feminine presentation, however, was simply concern about “beating my friends over the head” with my transition. You see, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, I don’t want my transition to define me; in other words, I want to be a “person who happens to be transgendered” rather than a “transgendered person.” I was concerned that, if I departed too drastically from my formerly-exhibited behaviour, my friends would start to think that I wasn’t really the same person afterall.
Add to all of that my preference for formal attire (which tends to be ‘gender neutral,’ and therefore default-masculine) and observers could be forgiven for failing to notice that anything had changed at all.
I’ve recently had cause to change this situation, however, and I have done so for a number of reasons. First of all, I felt like I was starting to lose my sense of identity underneath all of the self-imposed neutrality; it’s quite unreasonable to expect your friends to treat you like a woman when you have a male body and for all intents and purposes still dress like a man. Though they would humour me, their frequent slip-ups (“Why thank you, sir–er–okay, now I feel like a jerk.”) made clear that regardless of their behaviour, they still saw me as male.
Secondly, it’s summertime right now. Now, when I was growing-up, my family used to frequently complain about my habit of wearing long-sleeved formal wear even in the dead of summer. There was a very good reason for this, though, but I never felt comfortable telling them what it was. As you can probably guess, I did so because “summer clothing” (particularly for teenagers) tends to be extremely gendered, and wearing ultra-masculine garments made me feel dysphoric to the point of physical disgust at myself. Now, however, the cat is out of the bag anyway, so I can choose to dress comfortably in weather-appropriate feminine garments.
Thirdly, there was that recent, uncomfortable discussion with my father. He seemed to be of the impression that I was deluding myself and that this was just a phase; apparently neither of my parents had even bothered to read-up on transgender issues, and had willed themselves to believe that if they just ignored the problem, it would go away. While I had, in part, muted my feminine presentation in order to avoid such conflicts, I suddenly came to realize that I was doing nothing except helping to delay the inevitable.
Finally, and most importantly, it occured to me that part of the reason I had come-out in thefirst place was my desire to be who I am. I can hardly do that if I’m constantly engaged in self-censorship.
So no more of that nonsense! I’m a woman, and I’m proud of it, so I have made this week a prolonged experiment in being ‘femme*.’ This week, every single aspect of my outward presentation, from the scrunchy round my ponytail to the shoes on my feet have been specifically calibrated to be as feminine as possible, and if people don’t like that then they can piss off.
So far the results have been promising: misgendering is down sharply, I’m actually getting compliments on my wardrobe, and other women are talking to me the way that they talk to each other**. In short, I’m loving it!
______________________________________________________
*Although I am still ‘muting’ myself when meeting when my supervisor or my students. Some of my students have already seen me, though, so we’ll see how they behave this Friday.
**And no, I can’t define that any more clearly. Of course, not all women actually differentiate their modes of conversation between genders, but for some of my friends who do, I am now on the recieving end of the “feminine” conversation.
I wouldn’t even risk professional waxing, myself. Too painful, to say nothing of the expense. (I’ve never tried it, and never will.)
I don’t have prodigious chest hair, but there is hair on my chest, and I am otherwise fairly hirsute for a cis woman. I have shaved some of the hair on my chest in the past (when I was less okay with having lots of hair on sex-atypical parts of my body) and found that worked well enough, but for me the noticeable hair was restricted to the area around the nipples — i.e., not a whole lot of surface area to cover. I have also found that, for some strange reason, hair-removal creams like Nair do not work for me! I guess what I’d do if I were to suddenly acquire a desire to be hairless, and also a lot of money, is try laser hair removal.
I’m glad your femme experimentation is going so well! Yay for you!<|endoftext|>Element: Earth

Christian Art Publishers is releasing a lovely journaling Bible called the ESV My Creative Bible for Girls. Featuring pretty covers, study materials, journaling space, and lots of line-art for coloring this is a great addition to the creative art journaling Bibles available.
It comes in a two-part cardboard box for protection and storage.
ISBN: 978-1432129231 Printed in China
Christian Art Publishers provided this Bible free for review. I was not required to give a positive review, only an honest one. All opinions are my own.

Construction and Materials
We have the hardcover purple glitter edition which weighs 2 pounds, 8 ounces and measures 8″ x 6.25″ x 1.75″. The glitter has a sealing coat over it so the cover is smooth except for faint indentations where the silver lettering and designs are located (and you won’t have to worry about leaving glitter everywhere). I would have called this color more of a hot pink or purplish-pink then purple though it does look a little more purple when compared to the two light pink versions.
The other two covers available are a pink with silver highlights LuxLeather hardcover and a pink with multi-color design flex-cover edition. (picture provided by Christian Art Gifts).
All of these covers are beautiful but one a little less pink and sparkly might be a good idea if they expand the line.
It has iridescent gilt page edges, one attached light purplish-pink ribbon marker, and a sewn binding.
The paper is about 38 gsm, off-white, and easy to turn. Several of the pages have lightly-ruled, two-inch-wide margins to provide open space for creativity.
Typography
It has a 9 point font text laid out in single column paragraph format. Poetry is set in stanzas. It is blackletter with chapter numbers and section headings in dark pink. The header has the page number in black on the outside corner and the guide verse in the center in dark pink. There is a bit of show-through but not enough to distract me while using it.
Study Helps
The ESV My Creative Bible for Girls starts with a few pages explaining how to use all the features of this Bible.
They have chosen one good verse for memorization from each book and listed them all in the front,
as well as highlighting each one in light pink within the text.
There are 366 devotions by Amanda Cowles in the margins. These were written to encourage girls in their Bible study and daily life.
A full index of these devotionals divided by topic can be found in the back.
Also included are character profiles of 50 Biblical women and girls. These have their own index list and a different look to be easy to tell apart from the devotionals.
Artwork
One of the key components of any creative art journaling Bible is the artwork and the ESV My Creative Bible for Girls is no exception. There are over 500 line-art illustrations to color. These include:
a different illustration on both endpapers and a dedication page with artwork,
12 illustrated prayers,
a full-page illustration for the beginning of each book,
several other full-page illustrations,
and 350 designed Scripture verses in the margins.
There is even an illustrated bookmark included.
These illustrations were all designed for this Bible and include many typical girl friendly themes like flowers, animals, young girls, and much more.
An index of all the illustrated verses is included. I find these indexes very helpful when I’m looking for illustrations about a Bible study topic.
Final Thoughts on the ESV My Creative Bible for Girls
I really like the My Creative Bible for Girls. With study materials focused mainly on growing with God, lots of fun artwork, and plenty of space for their own thoughts and creations this is a Bible many girls will love spending time with.
It might not be just young girls who enjoy it either. Working with this Bible for my review had me in touch with my inner child and loving every minute of it.
This is great choice for girls who are looking for a first journaling Bible of their own. It’s sure to show up on the wish lists of girls (of all ages) who are both new to journaling and those who’ve journalled before but are ready for a new Bible to work in.

It was a bright spot in an otherwise uneventful day. You would read it once, twice, treasuring every word. Sometimes, if it wasn’t too personal, you would pass it around and let others read it so they could share the news too. Then you would put it away and keep it to read again and again. Those letters shaped your life.
Others of you reading this know only the burden of going to your mailbox and finding only bills or sales flyers, most of which you put in File 13 (the trash). Then you go to your computer or some other digital device to check your emails. You click, read and delete, or maybe even forward the message, but there is no personal connection felt between you and the sender. How can there be? It’s only a binary code transferred via a system of satellites and servers, accessible to every technician, law enforcement agency, or hacker who wants to know everything about you. Sure, it’s fun seeing pictures of your loved ones; it’s nice to know they are enjoying their vacation. But how often do you reread that email and save it to treasure later?
Why not pull out a piece of paper or a card and send a personal greeting to someone who would enjoy knowing you care. It doesn’t matter that your handwriting isn’t perfect. What matters is caring and sharing a piece of yourself with another human being. Some of you will think there’s no one who would give a fig about hearing from you. Well, you are wrong. The world is full of people -- young and old -- who desperately need a word of encouragement or cheer. Stores are full of greeting cards with any kind of sentiment you desire. Grandparents can set an example for their grandchildren by sending them a handwritten letter, so they can experience the wonder of getting an envelope in the mail just for them. Parents can then teach them the etiquette of sending a handwritten thank you note.
If you don’t have grandkids, there’s probably a neighbor you know who is going through a rough time and could use a word of encouragement or a smile. Does your church sponsor a missionary family? Write to them, send them a recipe or a newspaper clipping that would bring them a bit of home. Pass a card around at church and have others hand write a personal message in it before you send it off. Soldiers in hospitals, people in prison all need to know they are not forgotten. In this big, wide world of high-speed internet, we all could benefit from a bit of low-speed handwriting.

Hi, I am trying to execute the Range Doppler Terrain Correction on Sentinel-1 data using SRTM 3Sec DEM data. But, the download process of the DEM data is repeated continuously and the error appears such as the following picture. I just encounter this issue recently, I have no issue like this before. The message log is attached as well.
have you tried SRTM 1Sec instead?
@ABraun Yes, I did. It also raised an error, but with a different circumstance. It raised “error in opening zip file”. When I checked to auxdata directory, the downloaded DEM data just had 1 kB filesize.
Is it possible that your disk is full?
I have tried to reinstall the software, but the error still remains.
maybe your firewall blocks the correct download.
would it work to manually download the DEM and use it as an external DEM for the terrain correction?
Correct me if I put it in the wrong way.
Got the same problem with downloading of SRTM files in SNAP.
There has been a server restart on Saturday evening. Since then there are problems with fetching SRTM files in SNAP. Manual downloads outside SNAP are working. Seems for me that this is a server issue.
Hello there! I have the same problem on back-geocoding. I tried to use an external DEM as GeoTiff and I still get an error message.

The decision in Judge John Luzzo's courtroom was returned late Thursday afternoon, almost four days after the jury began hearing testimony and evidence in the May 1991 death of Louis Castaldi, 82, said the Castaldi family's attorney, Mike Palahach of Coral Gables.
The case, Palahach said, revolved around the contention that Sears violated its own work rule by letting Castaldi sit in the restricted battery bay area.
Castaldi, of 2700 block of East Marina Drive near Hollywood, was killed when a woman brought her car to the old Sears Vehicle Maintenance Center at the Hollywood Mall for repairs.
Police said the woman lost control of her vehicle, zoomed into a garage bay, clipped an unoccupied car and struck and pinned Castaldi to a wall.<|endoftext|>10:39pm Storage Room Gary, Alec and Peter Peter says if he (Gary) wants someone gone they can get the votes for him and get that person out of the house in return they will also will keep Gary safe next week in return they don’t want to be nominated. They tell Gary that the “other side” is shaking in their boots. Gary: “The Power has Shifted”. Gary asks them what he should do. They tell him to do what is best for Gary.
Tom Jones them and him and Gary decide to talk in the HOH later tonight.
Peter and Gary leave.. Tom is talking to Alec. They are hoping they can get Gary to put up Suzette. Tom thins there is a good chance Aj and Andrew will be going up. Alec asks Tom to come clean about Liza because Alec has been saying a lot of things about putting him and Topaz up. Alec says he’s got Topaz wrapped around his finger whereas Liza is running around the house talking to people. This is why Alec is more concerned with Liza than Topaz.
Jillian says she’s pretty sure Tom has been throwing her name out there.
Emmett says that Tom is starting to “veer” towards the dark side.. some of the things he is saying he cannot believe.
Emmett is worried that he’s losing muscle mass.
11:40pm LIza and Gary Liza is telling Gary to WATCH out about the guys because if he makes a deal with them they will stab him in the back next week.
Liza really builds up that Tom and her are on Gary’s side and they are her to protect him. She wants to give him some advice.
Liza wants him to put up Alec and topaz. Liza: “Gary.. I’ve had your back since day one.. i’m telling you YOU ARE NEXT” Liza apologizes for Danielle being sent out and is sorry she lied to Gary and Danielle at the time but tells him gettin Danielle out wasn’t her play.
Talla wants Jillian and Emmett nominated or Emmett and AJ. She suggests Gary backdoors Emmett.
Emmett wants Liza up he doesn’t care about the repercussions from Tom. Emmett said when he was HOH he knew he was going to get rid of Liza. Gary says he trusts Emmett he knows that Emmett has his back out of the boys that he can trust.
Gary tells him they should be honest he knows Emmett is going to take Jillian to final 2. Emmett says the only deal with Jillian is final 6, he likes Jillian because they can hang out and not dwell on game.
Emmett warns him if he puts Tom up it might be hard for him to shield Gary.
Emmett explains Liza’s game and how she’s going around talking to everyone telling lies.
Gary adds if Liza is after Emmett that doesn’t help him.. Gary says if Tom doesn’t go know he’ll never go, Gary adds that he’s not going to take him out. He’s already said to everyone that he won’t nominate Tom from when Tom used the POV on him last week.
Gary asks who should he put up beside Liza. Emmett says he’s was going to put up Suzette and Liza, Suzette was the pawn.
Gary wants names he wants to make a big move what should he do.
Peter suggests the pairs as the big targets. Peter says that Alec is his best friend in the house so Gary has to pick the person that is the biggest threat to him. Gary wants names. Peter says he can give Gary 4 names.. (Tom, Liza, Jillian, Emmett) Peter suggests Talla and Aj as targets.
Peter suggests he should not back door anyone. Gary asks him why did Peter vote for Danielle. Peter says that he was confronted by people the last minute and they all told him the vote was flipped.
holy crap, i’m super excited now…..this is going to be a hell of a week, I can’t wait to see what alliances gary makes!!!!
I hate Liza, she isn’t playing a strong game. There is a limit on how much you should play a social game and hers will eventually be her downfall. She may get alec or emmett out this week, but that’s it, next week when she can’t win a competition those guys will gun for her when they realize liza is telling so many lies to everyone.
Gary putting up Suzette is a waste of his HOH. Suzette is Tom’s problem, not his.
Suz is his biggest alley in the house, there is no way he is going to do that.
There is NO way Gary is going to put up Suzette. Tom is smoking crack if he thinks that… Either Liza and Tom and Jill and Em, there is no way Topaz is going up, nor Alec by association.
Team Suzette & Gary! I hope Gary uses this week to get a big player out, as well as to make some alliances and deals to further |
of 12 species of genus Drosophila. We use exceptions to the general rule of maintenance of chromosome arm (Muller element) association for most Drosophila genes to identify one major class of PRGs. We also identify a partially overlapping set of PRGs among "embedded genes," located within the extents of other surrounding genes. We provide evidence that PRG movements have at least two different origins: Some events occur via retrotransposition of processed RNAs and others via a DNA-based transposition mechanism. Overall, we identify several hundred PRGs that arose within a lineage of the genus Drosophila phylogeny and provide suggestive evidence that a few thousand such events have occurred within the radiation of the insect order Diptera, thereby illustrating the magnitude of the contribution of PRG movement to chromosomal reorganization during evolution.<|endoftext|>New quantification method for monitoring eighteen L-amino acids levels in schizophrenic patients by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer.
A fast, uncomplicated, sensitive, and fully validated high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method has been developed for estimating L-amino acids in the plasma of schizophrenic patients. The gradient-elution chromatographic method was implemented with the Luna® PFP column (50 × 2.0 mm, 5-μm), and a mobile phase of 0.1% formic acid in water and methanol was used. The intraday and interday variability of the L-amino acids were less than 13.11%, and their accuracy ranged from 85.14 - 116.75% at the quality control levels and the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) ranged from 2.5 - 15 nM. The extraction efficiency (apparent recovery) of amino acids from healthy plasma was employed by spiking the plasma with standard amino acids at the quality control levels. Their percentage recoveries ranged from 80.4% to 119.94%. Our method has a short run time and fast sample preparation compared with existing methods, which are suffered from long preparative steps and/or time-consuming analysis, restricted reagents, and suboptimal performance characteristics presently available technologies. Therefore, the proposed HPLC-MS/MS method was effectively applied for monitoring the L-amino acids in the plasma of schizophrenic patients and healthy volunteers.<|endoftext|>As I try to draw them into Steinbeck’s retelling of an ancient tale, I am simultaneously asking myself what this signifies. I am thinking about how all kids, in one way or another, repetitively announce their presence or arrival on the scene and then ask again and again, Who am I, and am I seen?
All spring last year Will drew four-leafed flowers again and again in his class notebook. Each flower was a kind of carefully drawn mandala, which became his tag, his signifier, his mark that he was here, a new, “flowering” conception of himself. Today Jack draws a series of blooming clouds in green and purple marker, which expand down his page like a slightly off-kilter fractal.
“Check out what I drew in my notebook,” he says to his classmate. Henry evinces no interest, but says coolly, “It looks like something Rosemary would draw.” Is this a compliment, or is it dismissive?
The moment when Jack showed a sliver of himself, a moment when his classmate could have opened his eyes, has been cauterised. The golden opportunity to make a connection, to make his friend feel seen—to extend himself across the great divide that seems to eternally exist between all of us—has been missed.
I submit that this tiny incident is an example of how we break each other, or diminish each other, or remain invisible, or feel invisible every day, or always have work to do “see better,” as Kent counsels King Lear. The kids try to make a significant peep. Who is listening? Who is seeing?
I think of the way a child will swimming or splashing or jumping off the diving board and will again and again say, “Look! Mom! Dad! Grandma! Look, I at what I can do!” In middle school, in adolescence, it is not so much that they are asking their parents directly to see them creating their soul identity, but more so that they are looking for their peers to see them. To congratulate them. To notice them. They are most often themselves alone, or in private. In adolescence they want to be themselves in the world.
What does this moment do to Jack? What does this do to any of us, if the world transmits to us that we do not matter, that our little peeps are nothing but peeps and of no true significance, that so many of our greatest efforts go unrecognized?
Later I sit with Jack’s friend.
I describe the incident, asking him to clarify anything I have gotten wrong.
I have tried to put this in his mind, a seed, a thing to be incubated. I will do this a hundred times with him and all of them. Will it open them up? Will they see more, or better? Will they, with open hands, be able to hold love and logic together in balance?
In her speech Una wrote, “Every silence was an invitation to say something.” On the literal level she was talking about how meetings and classes at school are sometimes filled with silence. In a larger sense, she was speaking of how existential silence is a kind of immense possibility, a yawning chasm at the edge of which each of us stands continually, anxiously considering the leap, fearing or anticipating the sound of our own voices echoing down and down.
She was speaking of how many opportunities she had and how important it was to take those chances. Similarly, every interaction is an invitation to make something. How many chances come in a day to make or create love and understanding? Incredibly, we are actually given hundreds of chances every day to make or destroy the world. Every day our words or actions can be turned towards love, acceptance, or understanding. Or they can be used for division, separation, argument, and distrust. My students may be only 12, 13, or, 14, but they possess the powers of gods. They make or break the world.
On Tuesday I showed them a picture of Shiva in the Nataraja pose–the Cosmic Dance. I simplified it somewhat (not being a Hindu scholar, I had to) and showed them some of the principle iconographical symbolism. The four arms: one hold the drum which calls creation into being; in the second hand fire, which contains the balancing force of destruction; the third hand, opened in a gesture of open fearlessness and acceptance; the fourth hand which gestures to the raised leg, which is in itself opened as a gate, inviting us in, a signifier our liberation to move inside of cosmic existence; the other foot, which dances on the Dwarf of Ignorance, and the vertical third eye, from which shines the light of the world. Circled around this figure are the flames of the cosmos, and there is Shiva, dynamically balance at the center of it. Open, powerful, creator and destroyer at once, inviting us into the dance as well.
“Why does he have four arms?” Nate asked.
They nodded and listened.
Later we read a place description that had been written by Sydney. In it she’d drew the moment when she had to decide—stay at camp and have fun, or leave camp and see her dying uncle. To her it was a choice between two kinds of betrayal. To chose one was to destroy something else.
Speech found Sydney’s ear. She let the moment teach her. Her power lies in knowing or trying to take all that she has seen and felt and then locate the many selves she possesses, to see life not as a narrowing, or herself as small, but to feel the truth that she exists in manifold forms in sensuous worlds. No longer a tiny thing sitting alone on a bench at camp, marinating in self-reproach, but part of an infinite cosmic swarm, a self being born into a new self.
Their place descriptions are attempts to bring moments of heightened feeling alive in a very short space. No more than 500 words, a compressed moment of poetic seeing. The assignment is to make a concise and clear “stage set” where we can see them alive in their unique forms of thought and feeling and action, a flash of epiphany, a thunderbolt of new consciousness, and shining sense of the depths which flow around and in therm. They write about going into the woods to cry. About sitting on a dock in Ontario, waiting for a loved one to return. The describe floating over the surface of a still lake, thinking about the future, and all the possibilities of tomorrow, and the depths down below. Or remember being curled up in a ball at night, hating themselves and the bodies they live in. Or when an older student let his seventh grade classmate teach him how to narrow the angle while defending the goal, and saw the patience his younger classmate possessed. Or making brownies at dusk, each proper step in the process a “signifier of progress.” Or about a toy tiger given to them by his Papa, and a boy’s memory of Papa’s hand touching the top his head one Christmas eve. Or under the hot sheets in summer, late at night, listening to dad’s car’s slowly roll out of the driveway for a work trip, and wondering where he is the next morning.
Wallace Stevens said that a poet is “the angel of reality,/ Seen for a moment standing in the door.” When the doors are open, we can see them all standing there in most exquisite and beautiful forms. When they approach these doors, and truly see the figure standing there, they |
take notice."
Pamela Sue Martin was my first gimme. I thought she was beautiful in Dynasty, or DyNASTY, as a housemate referred to it. Sigourney Weaver, Scout Finch, also gimmes. Sheryl Crow — seen her perform three times. Fun puzzle. Definitely not a PB, but faster than my average.
I have to say this was a fun puzzle and Caitlins links really capped it for me. Great.
@K Barrett I liked the link to the cat collars, and think they're terrific if they work. I do wonder if the cats like them though. Are they easier to get used to than the post-surgical Elizabethan collars, a/k/a "hoods of shame." I'm also curious why Caitlin recommends them for indoor as well as outdoor cats. The only birds my Jessica ever even sees are the pigeons that light atop my air conditioner and taunt her through the window. She does go out in the hallway sometimes, to greet the neighbors (a couple of whom might be classified as birdbrains, but not birds). She just wears a conservative black leather collar with her ID tag on it.
Loved the theme, didn't love the fill. if you're going to do a theme with people's names you should avoid so many non-theme names. There are 17 non-theme names at my count, including fictional characters, which is at least 16 too many.
@Adina 18 if you count Aida.
The clue about Clarice Starling made me think of the movie. I still shudder every time I think of Anthony Hopkins in that role. He is one of my favorite actors who could play any character from Santa Claus to a mass murderer and make it believable. I knew about MEL B but not MEL C. We need a MEL A...
@Robert Kern Check him out in “The Two Popes” if you haven’t seen it already.
@PeterW Thanks...will do!
A slow Sunday but a good one. Made it to the end with no lookups but I got a 'at least one square wrong' and it took me a while to find MANALOW and STRATA instead of MANILOW and STRATI. I can picture him but I can't spell him. I knew a couple of the 'birds' but I thought Jodie Foster in 'Lambs' was Clarissa Sparrow or some variant thereof. Got there in the end. ON POT? Really? And an Argonaut for two days in a row?
Not too much trouble except for APOLUNE/RILKE. Eventually recognized almost all of the ladies in the themers, only absolute no-know was RITA DOVE. Took a bit to remember some of the other names as well, but the crosses got me to the point where they became easy to finish.
At 93, Mort Sahl is still performing weekly in Mill Valley, California! I saw him a year or two ago. He has the most amazing anecdotes. See him if you can.
Great clues, beautifully executed theme, thanks! Found tough going in the center and particularly northeast, lots of no-knows. Figured out Mort SAHL, but my own Natick was Dumbledore x Elaine in Seinfeld. Got it eventually, whew!
Just too many rather silly clues and fills. Yes, some challenging words I'd never heard of but they all come together in the crosses - it's the dumb ones that irk me like "WHOS WE" and ELOPER which is just plain a word that no one ever uses but gets into the crossword the way adding an "s" works in making a new word in scrabble. Just call me cranky. Otherwise I thought the theme was quite clever and liked all the bird endings. Relatively easy puzzle except for the scientific and other somewhat esoteric words I'd never heard of but I don't mind those at all.
@Lin Kaatz Chary 87A is reminiscent of a line in a comedy that's sort of a satirical Tonto saying "who's 'we' white man?" But, as Deb always says, YMMV.
@Keta Hodgson The line is, I believe, “What you mean ‘WE’ white man?” But, of course, even though it IS a joke, makes fun of a stereotype (not a person or group of people), and is not intended to cast aspersions anywhere - - there are those who will take offense. I certainly mean none here.
PeterW, I recall a simpler and slightly more subtle line: "What you mean, we?"
This puzzle lost me with 4 crossing obscure (at least for me) names in the northeast corner. I’m ok with using proper names here and there, but it would be nice if the don’t double up on the crossings. I’m waiting for that Sunday puzzle that uses only names and no words.
SPELLING BEE Taking a breather at 71 words 315 points. Need about 19 more points. Hints for any really obscure or slangy words appreciated.
@Kevin Davis I used ESP to read 1 pangram so far.
@Kevin Davis So far I have 52 words and 204 points; might give even Genius a pass today. Don’t have many hard ones to share that you probably don’t have. The most obscure (for me) so far is the Spanish rice dish and there’s also the similarly spelled knee cap, but both of those are Bee regulars. Only one slangy thing I have so far — it means excellent . Two spellings for historic American Indian dwellings . Total four words so far that have the same prefix as the pangram. There’s also a small program that’s downloaded. But that’s all I have that’s hard or obscure.
@AM I have only 3 words with same prefix as ESP, but have everything else you suggest, I thought of hyphenate, but there's no N. I'll check Mari's list; I'm missing 2. Thanks.
@Mari , thanks!! I still have zillions to go. Too bad that we had CLICK and CLACK the other day, but no TAPPET today!
@Mari I've written hints for all but 2 words I've yet to find. First I have to figure out what I'm missing, then I'll post.
@Mari Missing H11, can't find in on Google either.
Something to AMUSE yourself with -- the light EMERGES!
When I squint at the grid, I see a cartoony bird with a prominent crest, standing up -- see the beak and the wings? I'm surprised that YOU ROCK has never been in a NYT puzzle before, and my favorite answer (Hi, @Puzzlemucker) was WHO'S WE. There's a theme echo at 96A (GALS). Only a couple of Super Bowl hints with DUELERS and ODDS. Overall, the grid filled in with few hiccups and provided excellent PBM (Puzzle Brain Maintenance), and thank you, gents. The theme answers certainly fit the bill, as it were.
I see the bird too!
@Lewis Time to see your ophthalmologist for a new lens Rx.
@Lewis I loved WHOSWE, too. It looks hilarious on the page!
Definitely a fun and well made puzzle. I also see a bird in the interesting grid design, including its little feet. I wonder if one of the puzzle makers would confirm this was intentional...otherwise it would be an amazing happenstance.
@Allen Krantz Caught that pattern interpretation too.
For Eka in Jakarta (re Spelling Bee): your comments *did* post. Are you by chance reading wordplay in the NYT app? That will only display 3 replies. Instead, use your browser to open WP and you’ll be able to see all the replies.
Will I have to memorise all 85 Argonauts? Another difficult puzzle for me this weekend but I did enjoy seeing all the LADY BIRDS.
@suejean !! I just got that all of the theme answers were female. I'm sure the imprint of the palm on my face will recede soon. Thanks.
Any time. I know the feeling.
@suejean I thought the same thing -- oh great, another Argonauts clue!
What a relief after yesterday's struggle (for me at least). Great Sunday puzzle, even if the theme was a little bit of a gimme. Thanks for a fun 40 minutes, even though I'm sad to be done too quickly on a Sunday. Oh well, off to the archives to extend my morning!
OK, so is Sam Ezersky trying to tell us how he really feels about today's football game? David Connell, I think that you will particularly appreciate today's Letter Boxed grid.
@Andrew - I will check tomorrow's comments for the results...for whatever reason, Letter Boxed has not snagged me. I've often wondered what it is about it, since I normally love that kind of thing.
I figured out the theme after Sheryl Crow and I had Martin. The bad thing was LALALAND fit in Ladybird spot so I threw a hissy fit because that has nothing to do with birds.
This was especially insidious given that La La Land was a 2017 best picture (as the clue states) and Ladybird was in fact on the 2018 list...

Get Him to the Greek displays the bawdy-sweet mixture that is the signature of the Judd Apatow school of screen comedy.
Get Him to the Greek has some big laughs, and it scores an endless source of points by skewering the rock-star lifestyle.

This version of member premium report has been made public for you. Let’s do a quick review of 2020 in the trading world.
As 2020 draws to a close, the year that was terrible in many ways was nothing but absolutely excellent in Trading & Investing. After the March crash, we entered Miners and Biotech at the lows (Covid related Biotech trades) and made great gains into the Summer months from March into July & August. After a somewhat dull period of trading in August, things really ramped up with our Solar, EV, Clean Energy, Blockchain and Bitcoin related trades and eventually Oil stocks entered the race. What may be the next best trades? Miners again.
SPX WEEKLY – After a very strong rally out of the March crash, we experienced a consolidation (and an ICL) that has taken the shape of a triangle. Though I have discussed a blow off top possibility over time, this Triangle also may be a 1/2 way point in the rally higher. So far the markets remain Bullish.
NASDAQ WEEKLY – You can see that we did get that crash in 2020 (March), but then another blow off rally seems to be taking place. This rally even appears to be steeper. We have enjoyed this rally through 2020 and the gains have been great, but I want to keep us aware that these kinds of straight up rallies just cannot be sustained forever. Stay Frosty my friends! I will continue to discuss these things in the weekday daily reports too.
IWM WEEKLY – From this perspective we have had a straight up rally with 7 straight green weeks. This can continue into 2021, but can it last indefinitely? No. This 7 week ramp up only adds to the idea that these markets will eventually get too frothy and top out.
SIDENOTE: I posted this in early November to point out that we needed to be very cautious, since things that I monitor like the PUT/CALL Ratio and Fear % Greed indicators, and a few other extremes were calling for at least a short term top.
The GREED side of this indicator has calmed down closer to the midrange level of 63 with our recent chop & pull back into a mild DCL (Daily Cycle Low). The Put Call Ratio also improved quite a bit, so we should still see the rally continue for a while longer from here.
At the end of the report, I will review and discuss a summary of what I see in the big picture for the General Markets.
LPI DAILY – It has doubled from there in less than a month and tripled in less than 2 months. So why am I pointing this out?
BITCOIN – We have traded mainly RIOT, MARA, and a few others like HVBTF , CAN, NXTD, XNET, FTFT, GBTC, etc .
From here I still have a measured move to $26,000, but with Bitcoin things trade a bit differently (for example it just ran from $3000 to $23,000!) . So I wouldn’t be surprised if it extends even further than that. Bitcoin & other crypto currencies tend to move in extreme measures.
USD WEEKLY FROM DECEMBER 4th – I felt that we had an unconfirmed ICL in place with Gold in November, so here I discussed the implications of a failed Cycle in the USD (weeks of downside ahead). Please Read the chart. This should be helpful for Gold to rally out of that ICL.
FAST FORWARD TO DEC 18th : The USD continues to sell off with the small bounces along the way unable to even get back above the 8 ema /10 sma. This will continue to Help the Precious Metals rally.
If you like this content, please consider signing up as a member of the ChartFreak and receive five reports per week.
GOLD WEEKLY #1 : As mentioned Gold put in an ICL ( an Intermediate Cycle Low) in November and we began to go long or buy Miners at that time. Golds last ICL was in March, so the time was running late for this one to develop. Gold finally reached the oversold level of prior ICLs and reversed after a shake out of support.
GOLD WEEKLY #2 – I developed the 2 lower indicators years ago and back tested them during the 2000-2011 Gold Run. They often ONLY cross higher when an ICL is in place. A push above the blue trend line on the Gold price would also confirm that the ICL is behind us.
SILVER WEEKLY DEC 18 – Silver is breaking out from a downtrend now, but thankfully we were buying Silver stocks a while ago. The Buy Signal in Silver triggered at the end of November too.
GDX WEEKLY – After calling the low and buying Miners, the move out of the lows was delayed with sideways chop for 2 weeks. Day after Day the slow chop made it a bit difficult times, wondering if the lows would be taken out, but they held up and never broke down. This week we especially saw Solid Upside in many individual Miners . I think we are seeing a shake out in the GDX ETF.
FOR THOSE THAT WERE WAITING FOR ALL GAPS TO FILL: FROM FRIDAYS REPORT: If you waited for these gaps to fill to buy back in April 2020, when would you have had a chance to buy? You would have actually missed the run. When an ICL is in place I always say that you should just Buy ‘something’ and adding if it dips. If a gap does not fill, at least you are in.
So we all should at least have a core position from weeks ago and I have had many charts of Miners in the past 2 weeks of reports too. This week has been very rewarding, since many stocks like CDE, EXK, etc are up 30% alone just this week. This chart was as of Thursday and placed into Fridays report.
At the end of the report I will use CDE & EXK as an example of some of the coverage that was found during the weekday reports.
– The General Markets: A while ago I mentioned in a past report that it is possible that we get that so called year end ‘Christmas Rally’ because (at least in the U.S. ) people have such strong gains that they may not want to sell in 2020 and have to pay taxes on their gains in early 2021. If that is the case, we should continue higher into 2021, but as mentioned, a blow off top could form sooner or later. So while it is possible that the rally continues for a while longer, it is also good to have this ‘topping’ thought in the back of our minds so we wont be caught off guard if we top out.
– Oil & Oil Stocks: After the recent lows, the gains have come very quickly in this sector. many Oil Stocks are already up 100% , but they look set up to run even higher. The next dip down into a dcl should provide another low risk entry in this sector too.
– The USD broke down and is a failed intermediate Cycle now. Even if it bounces from time to time, I expect lower prices over time for the coming weeks and even months. This should help the Precious Metals.
– The Precious Metals : An ICL in Gold for the month of November should be confirmed with a push above this blue upper trend line in Gold. Silver has already broke above its downtrend line.
We started buying Miners in November and have also increased positions recently. I’ve also posted charts of many Miners in the past couple of weeks with low risk set ups and they are already performing very well! If they perform as well as the Oil Stocks have, many could double rather quickly. Since there are also some Miners that are still close to their lows, this may be the next best sector to make nice steady gains in.
We’ve had some exciting trading over the past several weeks and it looks like we may have some more great opportunities ahead. Many sectors remain very bullish and it looks as though we will have many more opportunities and trades ahead. Rest up, Enjoy your weekend, and as always thanks for being a Chart freak with me!
Below is just a small example of some of the charts and information provided during the weekday reports when looking for entries in some of these Miners.
CDE NOV 30 -With a dcl (Daily Cycle low) and most likely an ICL in place in November, we could buy CDE with a low risk/ high reward entry, using a stop under price. I bought near $7 |
record in the Big East was 16-19. A 16-19 record in the Big East after reaping the recruiting/financial rewards of that 2006 11-win season just wouldn’t work out too well in the SEC.
Back then Rutgers was in the Big east! Just join the Big 10 recently. Huge difference!
Don’t look now, but Missouri lost 2 of 3 to Pruitt’s Volunteers so…..
I just don’t think Pruitt is a good coach and I look at the 2nd half stats of practically every game to prove it. The reason why Tenn gets worse in the second half is because Pruitt can’t adjust to the game. He doesn’t look at what worked and what didn’t, what the other team is doing and their weakness then adjust for the best chance of success.
The best coaches make the adjustments at halftime they need to win but Pruitt doesn’t. I don’t know what he does. Maybe go cheerleader? Maybe tell his team to fight harder? Rah Rah Rah? I just know there is no way he is making the adjustments he needs to win games in the second half and no amount of talent can make up for this critical part of the game.
Of course, I’m not a coach. Hell, I’m not even a good Monday morning QB but I see what I see and Tenn needs a better coach if they ever want to be relevant again. The SEC East needs more than just Ga and Fl. We need Tenn back.
In tn’s absence the last decade, mizz has slid into the #3 spot and it’s not even close.
It is quite obvious that Florida’s program is in an upward trajectory & Tennessee’s is going the opposite way. That two(2) year contract extension that Pruitt received even before the season began really complicates the coaching situation with the Vols now.
But honestly, Florida had a much stronger program with rich recruiting grounds. We WANTED Mullen, but he’s got brains, UF is easier to fix than UT at this point because of the repeated bad hires, both AD and Above.
Sadly, Tennessee fans brought this on themselves.
Who with the wide open offense can Tennessee hire? How many on the list did they go through the last time before they fired the AD and hired Pruitt?
Is this a job that somebody like Matt Campbell or Luke Fickell would consider, or is this now a job that somebody like Dave Clawson and Lance Leipold would be the top of the possibilities. This assumes that Hugh Freeze would not be possible.
There’s no way Dave Clawson is hired. Fulmer already hired Clawson once, and it didn’t work out well. Fulmer lost his own job.
And unfortunately, I don’t think the Fickell Finger of Fate will be pointing in our direction.
And it was exactly 1 year ago that “Tennessee is BACK”! Whew that sure got out of hand quickly.
Now the 64$ ? is, who or who all will be the scapegoats. Somebody’s getting fired, who will it be ?
Prbly win 3 games next year? Get rid of a football man and UT will sux for at least 5 or 6 more years? Just let the Great Pumpkin coach?
If the question is, “What head coach will win the most games as head coach of Tennessee in 2021?”, then is there a legitimate alternative to Coach Pruitt?
The more realistic list will be from the next tier down. Compare Pruitt to any of these options and then determine who should be the coach in 2021. I would think that these guys would be obtainable.
There is a rumor that Chadwell wants the UT job more than any other, and he even named his son “Jameson Heath” after former Vol Heath Shuler. But is he a better option than Pruitt in 2021?
Taking that job has severely damaged Pruitt’s career trajectory. Sark isn’t about to make the same grievous mistake.
LH61…..concerning Jamey Chadwell…I recall that he graduated from East Tennessee State & the Vol job would be a real dream for him. Clemson’s Tony Elliott is not going anywhere. Sark=not either. Whenever Fulmer fires Pruitt…Tennessee needs a new coach that has been a head coach before…successfully. Hugh Freeze fits that description.
And Lane Kiffen named one of his sons “Knox” after Knoxville. LOL.
Freeze would pounce on a Tennessee offer.
Aaron Murray did his best Verne Lundquist impression, gushing over the Florida quarterback the entire game. At one point he called it a “perfect game” for the Florida offense. I guess the standard is just low in some places, where a 31-19 win over a terrible UT team is perfection. He said Trask has a “sizeable” lead over Mac Jones, which is equally ridiculous. Apparently the only stat that matters to him is TD passes.
Tennessee, you know what you have to do. It’s not fire Pruitt. It’s let Fulmer know he’ll get fired if he doesn’t fix this mess. Better know who your next coach is before you fire Pruitt too. Or it will look surprisingly alot like when you hired Pruitt.
Phil Fulmer has loved Tennessee to death.
True but is he good for Tennessee? I’m not anti-Fulmer (nor do I particularly want to see them recover) but as the AD, this was his first big action where he went all in. Ego can screw up a lot of things. Pruitt is not working out. Is this an odd year? Yes but they were kind of seeing this already with him. He’s Will Muschamp at the beginning of grumbling about Will Muschamp not the end of Will Muschamp. Organize a plan to remove him, implement, then remove him unlike the sh!t show that was the Pruitt hiring. They’re going to have to poach a coach.
I think that Fulmer is the problem more so than the solution. With him as coach he became afraid of Spurrier, actually intimidated by him and 20 years later that fear of the Gators still seems to persist in UT’s program. As far as talent, despite UT’s recent recruiting successes players are not being developed. How many sacks did that 5 Star offensive line give up Saturday? UT won’t have a chance to get better until Fulmer retires.<|endoftext|>19 Professors and Students Hate HyFlex—So Why Is UF Doing It Anyway?

if l7 is in first house but in another sign is this mean the quisted is interest in queerent or no?
Re: L7 in first house?
Asce libra..L7 in H1 mars sco..
Oh is it, i wasn't aware of this.
So if quesited is in 1st house but in another sign, then being in the querents 1st house means nothing as they are in a different sign or would it still mean something at least ?
Yes, it would mean quesited is in the querent's 12th sign/house, rather than sharing querent's 1st sign/house. So you can work with the meaning from that perspective and get some info.
So if im understanding this correctly, then say asc is on cancer, quesited is in querents 1st house but in the sign of Leo....so because quesited is in the sign of leo and not cancer, then we put quesited in the 12th house ?
And going to your example above, as you say, if asc is Cancer and quesited is in Leo, then that puts quesited in the 2nd whole sign.
Alternately, if asc is Cancer and quesited in Gemini, that puts quesited in the 12th whole sign.
In either case, it puts quesited in an adjacent house, 2nd or 12th.
Then going a step further, signifiers being in adjacent signs are disjunct, so it is not considered favorable.
This reminds me of a previous horary I posted.
Quesited was Mars in a Venus Sign in 12th house. I was Venus. He liked me but was unable to act due to not being single.
Venus in its own sign and in first house. Venus being so good was his good opinion of me.
Oh yes i totally forgot you go by whole signs....so what you previously said and say now makes sense with regards to the wholesign system.
Maybe Tik can answer my question then of if in a regio chart quesited is in 1st house, but in a different sign to what the asc sign is how would this differ in the meaning.
I use both region and whole signs when looking at each chart, gaining info from each perspective. Whole signs is the referee when things get ambiguous, like this example when two signs are in one house.
Yes, it will be good to hear Tik's, Rafaella's or other's comments.

We have used two complementary, data-driven gross-error detection methods to clean the 2004 release of Geoscience Australia’s (GA’s) land gravity database. The first uses the DEM- 9S (version 2) Australian digital elevation model to help verify the gravity observation elevations stored in the database. The second method uses locally interpolated complete/refined Bouguer gravity anomalies, under the assumption that these are smooth and suitable for interpolation, to crosscheck each gravity observation against those surrounding. Together, these methods only identified a total of 237 points (0.021%) in the database that were suspected to be in gross error (differences greater than 250 m and 35 mGal, respectively), of which only nine were identified by both methods. These points will be removed before the computation of the new Australian geoid model, and also supplied to GA for its evaluation. The small number of points identified is a very positive result, in that it shows that the Australian gravity database appears relatively gross-error-free, which bodes well for all previous studies that have relied upon it. However, it is important to point out that this evaluation is inevitably localised and thus only verifies the high- frequency gravity anomaly signal content. Subsequent studies using dedicated satellite gravimetry will be used to identify long- wavelength errors.<|endoftext|>We cherish our homes’ design because they represent who we are, our style, and incorporate our valued decor pieces to create a unique place just for us. But quite frankly, interior design is not easy. It takes awareness, exposure, knowing what we like/dislike, and what looks great together. Design is an art, and even experts can get it wrong sometimes. To help you avoid these common mistakes, we wanted to focus on three design errors you can avoid. Let’s take a look!
Before you pick out your paint samples, make sure you have your fabric selection for window coverings, rugs, pillows, bedding, and even fabricated furniture. Why? Because with the current matching technology, you can quickly match colors without any added hassle. Also, keep in mind that you may want to choose a paint color that is more vibrant, but you must analyze the lighting in the room, the furniture, fabrics, and the depth of the room before you commit. To help you feel comfortable with your decision, we recommend painting samples in different areas of the room. You want to get a real idea of how the paint will look and feel in your space. By using it in different corners, lighting, and times of day, you can get a better idea of its look in your design.
We know homeowners get excited and may want to purchase just about everything they see, but this can be a big mistake. Be patient and get out the tape measure, and write down your room’s dimensions. Now when you go shopping, bring along your trusty tape measure and measure all furniture or accessories. It will save you time, effort, and money in the long-run.
Featuring too many focal points is a big mistake that you want to make sure you do not make. Be sure to choose only one focal point per room. If you have too many, they will compete with each other, and the overall room becomes too busy, weighed down. Keep things simple, and build off of your main focus. If you accentuate its strengths, you can help create an even more flawless space.
What design mistakes have you learned not to make? We would love to hear your stories below in the comment section.<|endoftext|>New Steps for Tobacco Control In and Outside of China
In China during the last decade, citizens have rarely agitated against the ubiquity of cigarettes, at the same time that tobacco products have been responsible for killing more than a million people a year and tobacco-control programs have been enjoying a marked growth in logistical support, discursive attention, and funding. In this article, the author argues that China’s ongoing popular quiescence regarding tobacco stems in part from strategic miscalculations that public health advocates are making. Favoring conceptual logics of expertise, population management, health economics, disease etiology, and rational choice, tobacco control in China is leaving unproblematized the political economic sources of cigarettes, the social suffering tobacco generates, and the ethics, everyday practices, and desires binding citizens and cigarettes together into webs of sociality. Bringing anthropological research to bear, the article describes ways that these strategic miscalculations have unfolded and makes suggestions for alternative ways that public health advocates can help Chinese citizens achieve the collective purpose to repudiate tobacco.<|endoftext|>Many investors, in the recent months, have found that mutual fund houses have suddenly started seeking additional details of investments.

This paper describes how, In 2003, the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation initiated a design competition for the detailed design of the Needles Bridge that crosses over Arrow Lake. When constructed, this bridge will be the longest fixed link lake crossing in the province at a length of 1087 meters. Arrow Lake was created in 1969 by the construction of the Hugh Kennleyside Dam and in 1967 a previous crossing design project was initiated but never advanced. This paper describes the unique design methodology and risk management approach that was employed during the recent design competition project, and the paper presents some of the significant challenges and constraints faced during alignment optimization. Geometric design played a key role in the overall design economy of this large structure. A bathymetric survey was combined with conventional survey data and used to optimize the subsurface and shoreline horizontal geometry. The survey amalgamation improved the overall economy through minimized pier heights and optimal positioning of the navigation span. Geotechnical and structural requirements were integrated early into the design process in a true multi-disciplinary approach to design. Moreover, because the lake level is a function of the downstream dam, the reality of significant water level fluctuations introduced additional constructability constraints that required careful consideration by the design team. The resulting final design of the structure contains one horizontal curve and three vertical curves and is a successful blend of geometric, geotechnical and structural expertise. The risk management strategies used throughout the course of the project significantly contributed to keeping the design project on schedule and on budget. As a result, an economical combination of superstructure, substructure, foundations and approaches was integrated together to provide a low life cycle cost alternative to the existing inland ferry service on Highway 6 at Arrow Lake.<|endoftext|>As part of the client’s financial team, we’re all working to achieve their planning goals and resolve their problems.

Netflix account is now available around the world which can be inclusive Costa Rica, but Costa Rica Netflix app series titles may not completely same as the programme of US Netflix. In addition you can't access the US Netflix app shows menu from Costa Rica. Refer the following and you may find it familiar with you.
The daily program that you will not miss out on is to see your beloved shows on Kindle Fire unit every night. The show constantly cut with an actual cliffhanger, you truly like it and also looking forward to the following episode without failed. then on one particular day, you are shocked to realize that your most favorite show no longer there. The program has actually not in your Netflix! You could or may not discover that also the show is currently not readily available on Costa Rica Netflix app, but you still can see them on US version Netflix. Obviously Costa Rica Netflix account not hold the valid broadcast permit to stream this movies in Costa Rica.
Which indicates that you could only see the program if you get on US Netflix account. So, to view the show on US Netflix account, you have to be literally present in United States region and also utilize your Kindle Fire device to logon to Netflix app. Else US Netflix app will discover the IP of the Kindle Fire device and recognize that you are logon the Netflix app from Costa Rica. Since very long time earlier, there actually a traditional remedy for this certain problem. With the capability making a connection to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) and also proxies, then the linked web will certainly be able to bypass this geographical constraint. The proxies or VPN change the Kindle Fire unit ip into a United States one. The Netflix account movie catalog in your account will certainly currently be offered in US version. This approach enable you to access the content people Netflix account even you are located in Costa Rica. And you currently revive all your incomplete most favorite movie onto your Kindle Fire unit where you can proceed watching them.
Customer might questioning the differences of using of Virtual Private Network compare to Smart dns service. However utilizing VPN or Virtual Private Network might not be so convenient like Smart DNS. You will certainly get endangered on your web speed when a VPN or proxy is utilized. And Netflix app may be doing something in the future to obstruct making use of VPN bypass. Good information is, there is a different option readily available which will certainly fix a variety of Kindle Fire units. This basic solution is Smart DNS.
There is a big majority of international websites hiding behind the secured doors of geo-blocking. So with Smart DNS, you can access that restricted Netflix app content in Costa Rica and other comparable service or sites. Now we know this Smart DNS and prior to we deep a lot more into the knowledge of Smart DNS use, it is essential first to inform on your own to know thoroughly what really a Smart DNS is, also to really know just how is this Smart DNS functions and how you can utilize it.
To make it easier to understand, when we discuss Domain Name Server or DNS, you can in fact visualize it as the phone directory or telephone directory for the internet. Inside this web phone directory, there are lists that tape-record all the legitimate domain names. The domain names are equated into machine language which is called IP (Internet Protocol), which likewise referred to as IP address, similar to the addresses we saw in the phone directory or phone book. The primary reason for this is considering that the computer language should exist with the info that human can recognize. When accessing a domain, they will utilize the website IP address then go back to us is the site that we want to go to. This makes our life a lot easier, now we simply have to bear in mind a domain name and also input it in an internet browser such as amazon.it.
Some of us could have the impression the just the tech whizzes or computer geniuses that will certainly use this Smart DNS. In real reality, Smart DNS is extremely typically used by a lot of the people.

The Smart DNS connection is much faster than a VPN because the VPN connect should suffer through the heavy security whereas the Smart DNS does not call for such procedure.
Lately the streaming service like Hulu is blocking the VPN service so that user can not access their content from Costa Rica, most likely that Netflix app also may do so in the future. In such situations, contrasting VPN vs. Smart DNS, naturally, Smart DNS is the recommended service to use. When a VPN is activated, it will certainly alter the unit's Costa Rica IP address to a US IP. A Smart DNS is, however specifically concentrate on supplying the best tricks possible to bypass the region restricted streaming content of service like Hulu and Netflix account in Costa Rica.

Are claims of extraordinarily low mortality levels in the USSR justifiable? Applying a recently developed methodology appropriate for nonstable populations to 1959 and 1970 census data from the Soviet Union, we find that mortality is generally understated for the country as a whole and for various regions and republics. This is particularly so for the republics composing the Central Asian region and the Caucasus. Age overstatement appears to be extremely pronounced in the oldest segments of the population. Using the new methodology, we can derive the age distribution that is uniquely implied by a given life table and a set of age-specific rates of growth obtained from two censuses. When we use the official Soviet life tables in this procedure, we find that the reported number of centenarians is at least 28.9 percent overstated for males and 7.5 percent for females. If one were to posit that Soviet mortality during 1959 to 1970 was, in fact, no better than the Swedish mortality experience during roughly the same time period, then the true number of centenarians could be no more than 2 percent of that reported.<|endoftext|>Using Giving Voice to Values to Improve Student Academic Integrity in Information Technology Contexts
1. INTRODUCTION Cheating scandals at colleges and universities bring intense media attention and scrutiny. A number of institutions (e.g., University of North Carolina, Harvard, Stanford, Florida State University, The Ohio State University, and Dartmouth) have dealt with highly publicized failures related to cheating (Glum, 2014; Rivera, 2015; Vasilogambros, 2016). A number of the incidents included the use of technology and the Internet. Activities such as sharing answers for an online take-home exam, plagiarizing research papers, and having others complete work for an online class have been detected. Further, the problem is not limited to the students involved in these high-profile cheating scandals. Prior research shows that about 68% of undergraduates and 43% of graduate students admit to cheating (ICAI, 2015). This level of cheating creates questions about the value of the teaching and learning process inside higher education. Educators must jointly focus on the learning of students and maintaining the integrity of student work and assignment of grades. Not only must faculty remain current within their academic disciplines, they must also understand best practices for promoting academic integrity. Interactions between individuals have changed with the introduction of the Internet into modern life. Townley and Parsell (2004) point out that the Internet is not simply a technological change that increases efficiency, but that the effects of it are more complex. They argue that the nature of communication and privacy are fundamentally changed. Interactions which once occurred face-to-face now occur through computers or phones causing users to "feel uninhibited and unconstrained by the usual social and ethical standards" (p. 271). Further, as people engage through the Internet, they operate with a feeling of independence. "Questions of community, responsibilities to others and binding norms of conduct fade into the background" (p.271). The academic community is not immune to these changes. Hinman (2005) contends that the Internet has changed the ethics of the academic world, and vice versa, in important ways. To further analyze how academic integrity has changed in the information age, Hinman evaluated the effects by using the three categories of students first identified by Donald McCabe, a noted researcher on academic integrity. The first group consists of students who will never cheat or be dishonest in their academic work. The second group is comprised of students who cheat occasionally, while the third includes students who cheat habitually. The second group is the largest and the one most affected by the introduction of the Internet with its instant and continuous availability of resources. The students in this group may be tempted to cheat by the ease of using Internet-related technology. They might not have put in the effort to cheat when it would have taken more time and work to locate resources. The purpose of this research is to better understand student decision-making related to academic integrity scenarios that involve information technology. This study uses a proven research tool, the multidimensional ethics scale (MES), to gain insight into student reasoning related to academic integrity scenarios that include IT. The MES associates the ethical decisions of subjects with the ethical theory used to make the decision. The MES results give insight into both the decision and the reasoning used to make the final determination. The MES results are then incorporated into materials that can be used by instructors to discuss ethical behavior in class. The materials are created in the framework of the ethics pedagogy, Giving Voice to Values (GVV) (Gentile, 2010). This approach to teaching ethics emphasizes the actions necessary to carry out ethical decisions. Students are asked to identify common rationalizations for not voicing their values and then learn to combat those rationalizations with levers or arguments that support acting with integrity. …<|endoftext|>Book Review: Evaluation for Continuing Education: A Comprehensive Guide to Success
This book intends to provide adult and continuing education program coordinators with useful and practical guidelines about the why and how of evaluation. Divided into three sections, the book begins with concepts about the evaluation of continuing education and ties them to evaluation strategies in three brief case studies. A generic framework is used to reflect on the case studies and prepare the reader for the evaluation foci in coming chapters. Framework rationale and procedures include evaluation purpose, stakeholders, planning, coordination, sources, data collection, analysis, and use. The core of the book is the second section, chapters 4 to 11, which applies evaluation concepts to a range of evaluation foci, including needs, context, goals, staff, participants, program, materials, and outcomes. Each chapter contains summary guidelines of concepts covered, planning and implementation considerations, and coordination challenges. Chapters open with questions related to the kinds of decisions an educator might ask about the various evaluation foci; use of the evaluation findings to answer such questions are integrated throughout the book. Readers are encouraged to use one or more of these chapters as they apply to their evaluation needs. The last section of the book offers 17 guidelines for conducting a successful evaluation. These guidelines shift the reader from the evaluation foci of preceding chapters and expand the generic framework of the first section of the book. Starting with a description of the program, the guidelines include evaluation purpose, value judgments, contextual influences, administration, data collection and analysis, and use of findings. These guidelines mark the territory of evaluation in continuing education for adults. To evaluate good evaluation theory, Shadish, Cook, and Leviton (1991) suggest a fivecomponent framework that includes a description of the program, use of evaluation findings, knowledge construction, and valuing as shapers of evaluation practice. These components map with ease to the essence of evaluation as defined by Knox:<|endoftext|>[In Egypt, researchers assess the health of village women].
A May 1991 workshop on reproductive morbidity attended by 60 participants in Cairo included presentation of results of a study of 509 nonpregnant women aged 20-60 years. The study was conducted by an anthropologist, a biostatistician, 2 obstetrician-gynecologists, and a microbiologist in 2 rural villages of Gizeh. The majority of the women studied had married before age 19, and 80% were illiterate. Despite initial reticence, over 90% of the village women ultimately took part in the study. The team observed the frequency with which the women accepted illness, weakness, and pain as a normal part of life. Physical examinations revealed that 44% had vaginitis, 9% were anemic, 17% had severe anemia, 56% had prolapse, 18% were hypertensive, and 42% were obese. Survey questionnaires revealed that 36% experienced pain during intercourse, 18% had pain in the lower abdomen, 71% had menstrual pain, 15% had pruritus, and 48% feared they were sterile. The team observed that the women were apparently reluctant to use the local health services. The villages had their own health centers staffed by female physicians, but only 1/3 of the women giving birth in the preceding 2 years had sought prenatal care, and 75% chose to deliver at home. Relations between the health workers and the village women must be strengthened if the situation is to be improved. The seminar recommended that the health and social workers make greater efforts to encourage use of the health services by local women.

The present study examined whether mothers' work-related and global stress (e.g., depressed affect) were associated with changes in mother-adolescent relations across a 6-month period and whether mothers' stress and mother-adolescent relations predicted the adolescent's psychosocial adjustment. Subjects were mothers and early adolescents (sixth graders) in 96 dual-earner families. Mothers completed questionnaires assessing work-related and global stress, adolescents completed instruments measuring psychosocial adjustment, and perceptions of maternal acceptance and mother-adolescent conflict were obtained from both sources. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses found that global stress was related to the mother's decreasing acceptance of the child, according to mother and adolescent. Lower maternal acceptance was associated with poorer psychosocial adjustment in adolescents. Mothers' work-related stress, however, was not associated with mother-adolescent relations or adolescent adjustment. Results are discussed in terms of the meaning of mothers' work and work-related stress in families with adolescents.<|endoftext|>Mining Chemical Reactions Using Neighborhood Behavior and Condensed Graphs of Reactions Approaches
This work addresses the problem of similarity search and classification of chemical reactions using Neighborhood Behavior (NB) and Condensed Graphs of |
wife was commuting to NJ. The tow job back to our friendly neighborhood mechanic would've been horrendously expensive, and AAA+ covered it.
On the insurance front, we switched to AAA Mid-Atlantic, and were quite pleased for a number of years, until some clown filed a claim when he turned into my wife's lane and she slightly scraped his REALLY beat-up car. He filed a $5,000 claim, and their underwriters just paid it out with no question -- so then we have this big-a$$ claim on our record when HE was at fault and the damage was minor cosmetic stuff. Lesson learned: No matter how minor the ding, and how friendly the guy in the other car, ALWAYS have the cops come & ALWAYS file a report. They jacked our rates through the roof after that, so I left them.
But, anyway, to bring it back to the Lake ( ), I highly recommend Trite's for Wolfeboro-area automotive care.
One other thing that AAA does for you. You can go to one of their offices and renew your driver's license. No trip to the DMV. Hallalujah!
And another (thanks for reminding me) -- If you put the little tag they send you on your keychain, and it is lost, they will send it back to you if it's found. The back of the tag says, "Drop in any mailbox. Postage Guaranteed." and the address of the main AAA office.
My oldest son was working in the city, and left his backpack unwatched for a moment. It was stolen, and the contents (aside from his wallet) one of the sets of keys to the truck. About a month later, AAA calls me and says they have a set of keys that someone found in the street somewhere in Delaware, and they will send them to my home, office, or any AAA location.
One of those benefits you don't think about until you have to use it. So the membership paid for itself again -- those new keys & alarm fobs cost $150 to replace minimum.
I was told by an astronomer at the Museum of Science in Boston that the Japanese call the Pleides constellation "SUBARU". Neat, huh?
We've tried every repair place in Wolfeboro and Trites is the best by far. We've never had an issue with them trying to sell us a repair that wasn't needed and when they fix it. it's fixed. We've been going their for a long time with anything from a Chevy truck to foreign cars.
Actually, Subaru does mean Pleiades in Japanese, but this is not quite what the six stars on the logo represent. How does the Seven Sisters constellation wind up as six on the Subaru icon? If you really care....http://www.subaclub.com/StarBadge.htm.
He might have fixed your tire for free, but he sure made it up when he worked on my car. Whew....never again.
I always thought the proper spelling was doughnut.
This is becoming the norm unfortunately. First it was the crappy doughnut spare but the well could take a a full sized spare. Now more and more new cars don't even have a well that can fit a full sized spare. With an AWD system driving with mismatched tires that far out of whack for any great distance will damage the vehicle so if you must use it, don't use it any longer than you have to. Then again those things were intended for emergencies not as a 5th tire to use indefinitely. The way some folks use them I don't think they understand that.
Far as lug nut torque, a big pet peeve of mine is the fact many technicians use the impact wrench to put the nuts back on and blast away on them... not realizing that a typical good quality 1/2 drive torque wrench can put upwards of 300 foot pounds on a bolt. That's one reason why I do my own work. If I must get my tires changed I have no choice but you can bet soon as I'm home I re-torque the nuts. There are extensions that can be used that act as a torque wrench set for specific specs, however they are not fool proof and have a shelf life. Drop one on the floor and the calibration can go bad and therefore render the thing useless. Nothing beats doing it by hand. Of course that takes an extra 5 minutes most shops won't spend doing the job right.
ALL Excellent points. A good "Mechanic" doesn't need a torque wrench to FEEL how tight a nut or bolt should be. (Building an engine is a different story). We are not building an engine here. We are changing a tire.
Unfortunately..We don't have any more "Mechanics". "Mechanics" could FIX things. Now we have "Technicians". They don't know HOW to FIX things. They know how to REPLACE things. In the old days you replaced the brushes in your cars generator. A few bucks. Now ...you Replace the entire Alternator. So why is this..? Two reasons: It's because labor rates at your local dealer are $98 per hour. They havn't got time to THINK about what might be the simple solution. The other reason is..components today are NOT designed to be fixed. They are designed to be replaced.
NB.... your somewhat correct.
Stuff today is getting way more sophisticated than ever before, thank the Gov't and emissions/fuel economy standards for much of that. Some of it is simply advances in design which have made cars these days FAR more reliable than ever before. Finally there is the whole idea of reducing the amount of regular maintenance that needs to be done. I could go on and on about the good and bad of this, but let me get to my point. Your absolutely right the days of mechanics are pretty much over, techs as they call them now are armed with a computer and diagnostic software before ever picking up a wrench. In many cases this has really made troubleshooting problems much easier, however it is not uncommon for circumstances to exist where a problem arises and the computer does it's best to determine the problem but throws bogus codes, end result the techs who don't know any better can start throwing some very expensive darts (at your expense of course) by replacing parts or sensors that are not the root cause. That is a real serious problem and more prevalent than you might think.
There is also a reason why what used to be commonly repaired parts are no longer repaired at the dealer even though you can still get the parts to rebuild things that go bad such as alternators, starters, power steering pumps, brake calipers, etc.... The dealers do not want the liability of dealing with a rebuild gone bad AND it's far easier for them to hang new parts than risk unhappy customers spending big bucks and having to come back for further repairs. Take for example your typical brake job. used to be we'd replace the pads/shoes. resurface the rotors or drums and if need be rebuild the calipers. Today whether the car or truck needs it or not all those parts are replaced as a significant cost to the consumer even though some of those parts may still be serviceable. If all new parts are hung there is far less chance of any problems a year or two down the road. Even when it comes to big ticket items now, if an engine, tranny, axle whatever goes bad those no longer are rebuilt, they do a remove and replace.
Now for an independent shop the owner is the one to make those decisions and generally speaking since they have to come in at a price lower than the dealers they will not do this unless it's necessary. There is also a price spread on the cost of the parts too, although I'm a firm believer in avoiding aftermarket parts since they are usually substandard in quality.
Few things feel as good as telling the kids to just call the number on the AAA card in their wallet when they break down 3 states away. Getting a discount at Dairy Queen, at a hotel or on my eyeglasses is pretty good too but not nearly as helping the kids in a crisis.
A Subaru has 5 lugs.
This is the 56th post because of a flat tire. Thank god it wasn't a seized engine, a small novel would of been written bt now. Lots of people difinitely get bored after the temps drop.
You may not realize, but in the 1970s someone invented a new rubber compound that was self-healing. It eliminated flat-tires, and also increased the lifespan of an average passenger car tire ten-fold.
The big rubber companies all tried to pass legislation to declare this new compound unsafe for use on the roads, and when that failed they bought the patent from the inventor and then hid the technology away.
Had it not been for those nefarious corporations, this thread wouldn't even exist!!
After forty years wouldn't the patent have expired by now?
Not to change the subject to much, but how many have been paying attention to the attempts to bump the amount of ethanol to 15%? If successful that is going to be a huge problem, especially for marine engines.
Auto manufacturerers love Ethanol,it allows them to meet new and strickter emission laws by lobbying the gasolene companies along with the EPA to raise the % of ethanol so they easily meet those requirements. On the other hand those with boats,lawn equipment,seasonal toys watch out and make sure you're treating every drop you leave in the tank.
Maybe one reason this thread is so popular despite being "only a flat tire" is that it is an occurrence that happens to very single person, sooner or later.

In this thesis, I develop analytical models to price the value of supply chain investments under demand uncer¬tainty. This thesis includes three self-contained papers. In the first paper, we investigate the value of lead-time reduction under the risk of sudden and abnormal changes in demand forecasts. We first consider the risk of a complete and permanent loss of demand. We then provide a more general jump-diffusion model, where we add a compound Poisson process to a constant-volatility demand process to explore the impact of sudden changes in demand forecasts on the value of lead-time reduction. We use an Edgeworth series expansion to divide the lead-time cost into that arising from constant instantaneous volatility, and that arising from the risk of jumps. We show that the value of lead-time reduction increases substantially in the intensity and/or the magnitude of jumps. In the second paper, we analyze the value of quantity flexibility in the presence of supply-chain dis- intermediation problems. We use the multiplicative martingale model and the "contracts as reference points" theory to capture both positive and negative effects of quantity flexibility for the downstream level in a supply chain. We show that lead-time reduction reduces both supply-chain disintermediation problems and supply- demand mismatches. We furthermore analyze the impact of the supplier's cost structure on the profitability of quantity-flexibility contracts. When the supplier's initial investment cost is relatively low, supply-chain disin¬termediation risk becomes less important, and hence the contract becomes more profitable for the retailer. We also find that the supply-chain efficiency increases substantially with the supplier's ability to disintermediate the chain when the initial investment cost is relatively high. In the third paper, we investigate the value of dual sourcing for the products with heavy-tailed demand distributions. We apply extreme-value theory and analyze the effects of tail heaviness of demand distribution on the optimal dual-sourcing strategy. We find that the effects of tail heaviness depend on the characteristics of demand and profit parameters. When both the profit margin of the product and the cost differential between the suppliers are relatively high, it is optimal to buffer the mismatch risk by increasing both the inventory level and the responsive capacity as demand uncertainty increases. In that case, however, both the optimal inventory level and the optimal responsive capacity decrease as the tail of demand becomes heavier. When the profit margin of the product is relatively high, and the cost differential between the suppliers is relatively low, it is optimal to buffer the mismatch risk by increasing the responsive capacity and reducing the inventory level as the demand uncertainty increases. In that case, how¬ever, it is optimal to buffer with more inventory and less capacity as the tail of demand becomes heavier. We also show that the optimal responsive capacity is higher for the products with heavier tails when the fill rate is extremely high.

Well, I should say almost all of them. The fact is that when ordering a BTO Mac from Apple USA’s online store at store.Apple.com (or via an Apple dealer that has access to BTO Macs), you can select your choice of keyboard, as long as it is an iMac, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, or Mac Pro (tower). However, now that the Mac Mini has become such an attractive platform for professional video editing systems (see my related article about that), I have several disappointed consulting clients who are getting undesired answers when they called Apple USA’s 800 number after seeing incomplete keyboard options for the Mac Mini on the website.
Why another keyboard?
Back in 2009, I published the article Choose Apple’s Spanish keyboard, even if you only type in English.
Above is the Apple wired Aluminum Spanish ISO keymap with numeric keyboard. Click here to see a larger version.
All of the letters are in the exact position as in the USA keyboard.
Very few of the symbols have changed positions, and they are easily identifiable on the keyboard. There are two extra keys.
Direct access to accent marks and many other diacritical marks.
Direct access to the € (euro) symbol, with continuing access to the $ symbol.
Direct access to the inverted ¿ and ¡ (exclamation) characters, with continuing access to the standard ? and ! characters.
Easily type cities, provinces, and countries, like Andalucía, Málaga, Mayagüez, Nequ©n, Perú, San Cristóbal, Qu©bec, and São Paulo.
Easily type brand names, like Med©a, Nestl©, -levia, Übercaster.
Easily type your clients’ first names properly, like Álvaro, Ángela, Jos©, Mónica, Rub©n, Verónica, and Víctor… or last names like Álvarez, García, Guti©rrez, Martínez, Núñez, and Peña.
For some languages, direct access to both masculine and feminine ordinal numbers, like 1º, 2º, 3º and 1ª, 2ª, and 3ª… as well as abbreviations like Mª |

First and foremost, you want to find all of your business listings on each directory site. This is done by performing multiple searches using your business name, address, and phone number. It’s important to find all of your listings so you don’t end up creating a duplicate, which hinders SEO. Next, you want to claim your listing(s) to ensure you are in control of your information. Each site will prompt you with their own steps during the claiming process. If you are 100% positive that no listing exists for your business, then you can proceed to create a new one on the site. Once your listings are claimed, you will want to monitor and manage them, being sure to make appropriate updates as needed (such as an address change).?
Why claim my business’ listing if the information is already accurate?
You will sometimes find that your business information is already accurate across local listing directories. However, there are usually missing details that you will be able to add in once the listing is claimed. This could include photos, business hours, accepted payment methods, business descriptions, and more. Some directories even include a section for keywords, essential to helping your SEO. Thus, it is important to take advantage of all a listing has to offer, and that includes completing as much of your business information as possible.
Claiming a business is also important because it counts towards its completion. Google looks for listings that are 100% complete and without the listing being claimed, it is not fully finished. Lastly, claiming a listing allows you to easily make changes in the future if your business has a change like an office move or new company name.
What information will I need when creating or claiming a listing?
What is NAP and why is it important?
NAP stands for Name, Address, and Phone Number. Putting all else aside, it is most important for a business’ NAP to be accurate and consistent across the Internet. Local listing directories prompt users to search for a business using these pieces of information, so if yours is inaccurate, a potential client will not be able to find you on a given site. Not only is it important for users, but for search engines as well. Inconsistent, incorrect or missing data will negatively affect your rankings in Google.
Consistency is key. To ensure you are using the properly formatted address online, check Google first. Does the street name come up as “North” or “N”? It is “Suite 300” or “#300”? Your best bet is to use the same formatting as Google when updating your address.??
Note: If your business moves to a new address, updating all of your local listings will be very time-consuming. Contact our SEO team to help streamline this process.
How do I write my business description?
Lots of directories give your business a chance to describe its services to potential customers. Be sure to follow word counts and/or character limits, write a description that is client-facing, avoid jargon one wouldn’t understand and watch out for repetitive phrases. Whenever possible, try incorporating a keyword, as these will be picked up by search engines and potentially allow your business to show up in the directory’s results for that search term. The description should encompass what products and services you have to offer and (briefly) why you are qualified to provide them.?
Example: For over two decades, the Fort Lauderdale car accidents lawyers at XYZ Law Firm have been representing car crash victims throughout South Florida. Our personal injury attorneys can help with your car, truck, or motorcycle accident claim, as well as cases involving boating accidents, product liability, and wrongful death.
A website wants me to pay for my listing. Is it worth it?
It depends on the site. The best local listing directories have high domain authority (DA) and visitor traffic, and while most of them don’t require payment, some do. PaperStreet’s link building team is familiar with these sites and we make paid listing recommendations when we see fit. In general, stick with the free options first, then research the paid sites before signing up for them. It is also important to note that there are a number of large data aggregators (like Neustar) and paid listing management companies (like Yext) who own or manage many local listing directories and require a paid subscription for any updates. Be aware that these site’s support teams will request payment before providing assistance.
What if I have trouble claiming a listing?
Don’t fret — most directory listing sites offer some form of support. If you’re encountering an issue during the claiming process or notice incorrect data, reach out to the site’s support team for assistance. In most cases, this will be via email or contact form, and some sites also offer live chat as well as phone support. Check out the specific site’s Contact or Support page for details.
My business is listed multiple times. Now what?
For SEO purposes, you only want one listing per office location in each directory. A site’s support team is usually your best bet in getting duplicative and outdated listings removed. Similar to when you’re having trouble claiming a listing, check out the specific site’s Contact or Support page for details on removing duplicate listings. Note that in some cases, a site will require you to first claim the listing and then you can remove it yourself.?
Support is not helping me. What do I do now?
Unfortunately, not every local listing website has a helpful and responsive support team. Here are some methods we use that could help if you’re not getting anywhere.
Find an alternative contact method. If the site has a Privacy Policy and/or Terms and Conditions page (most should have both), search the pages for an email address or phone number. To quickly search the page for an email address, click CTRL-F on a Windows or Command-F on a Mac, and search for the @ symbol.?
Navigate to their Facebook page. Most pages let you send a message where you can explain your issue and request help. We usually check the “About” tab and see if a contact email is listed. You’d be surprised – sometimes, it differs from the website’s listed email.?
Provide details in your request to help support locate your information without issue. Include your name, email, link to your listing(s), and username (as applicable), in addition to the business information that needs updating.?
If you’re still not able to resolve the issue at hand, consider cutting the loss and moving on, as you don’t want to waste too much time on a site that isn’t helping you. Don’t worry – a few minor inconsistencies will not drastically hinder your online presence or SEO.?
I’m ready to get started! Where do I begin?
Here’s a helpful infographic of local and legal citations that you can use as a starting point to check for your business listings. Sites change their claiming process periodically, so if you encounter any issues, reference the section above.
The best way for a law firm or business to manage their local listings is by teaming up with a law firm SEO company that has the knowledge and experience in working with local listing sites.?
✔️ Check for NAP consistency across local citations.
✔️ Securely keep track of website credentials (and do not use the same password across all sites).
✔️ Be sure to update your listings in a timely manner if anything changes like your business phone number or website domain.
✔️ Don’t forget to follow-up on anything pending. Listings aren’t always completed immediately and you may have to check back for updates or follow-up with support.
✔️ Upload high-quality photos to all of your listings (we recommend 5-10).
✔️ Include anchor text (as applicable) and link to important web pages.
✔️ Don’t assume support knows what you’re talking about. Be as specific as possible with your request and provide your listing URLs.
✔️ Don’t rely on paid services like Yext or Moz Local to do all the work for you. These automated platforms don’t handle every local listing site and do only half the job. We find that manually claiming and updating is ideal.
✔️ Crunched on time? Set aside a short window of time to send through automated verification phone calls to the office (as required by some sites). Once the listing is claimed in your account, you can always login and make updates later on.
Stay active on social media. Many local listings have a place to link to your business social media profiles. |

Interruptions have become a persistent annoyance in our lives; they reduce performance in many domains. Traditional interruption research uses time and errors as measures of disruption. However, in creative tasks, time and errors may not be suitable measures of disruption. This study investigates how interruptions affect content production in a creative task as the amount of content created can be a better indicator of the effect of interruptions. Interruptions were found to reliably reduce the production of content while outlining and writing essays. Moreover, interruptions in both conditions (outlining and writing) reliably reduced the final quality of essays. A carry-over effect from impoverished outlines appeared to have reduced quality of the final essays.<|endoftext|>Seismic Interpretation During Well Planning, Drilling, and Production of Complex Carbonate Reservoirs of the Siberian Platform
Summary The seismo-geological analysis while drilling horizontal wells and side-tracks was developed and successfully deployed on one of the super-giant oil fields of the Siberian Platform. Reservoir rocks of faulted and fractured Precambrian carbonates were influenced by multiple episodes of tectonic activity, subsequent erosion and deep burial, complicated by intensive diagenetic processes, involving wide spectrum of different processes from development of giant karst zones to fine-scale leaching and stilolitization. During pre-drilling stage a large number of seismic attributes were analyzed to identify and interpret all kinds of seismic anomalies, which run across planned well trajectories. These anomalies are often interpreted as faults, fracture and karst zones, leaching intervals, etc. During drilling stage such zones are often confirmed by lost circulation, drill bit drops, LWD logs anomalies and other events. During production stage these disintegration zones are on one hand considered as sweet spot areas in terms of reservoir properties and hydrocarbon saturation and production, but on the other hand have increased risks of water and gas breakthrough. Therefore, good understanding and spatial mapping of such anomalous zones in carbonate reservoirs by 3D seismic methods are critically important for successful well drilling as well as for overall decrease of field development costs.<|endoftext|>Property I.D.Corporation the leading independent Natural hazard disclosure Company has announced the latest Easy NHD(TM) innovation with the availability of their new iPhone application, giving agents a better way to order NHD reports and manage orders while they are in the field.

BACKGROUND
German infant mortality is ranked near the median of European countries. In Germany infant mortality is significantly higher in the German Federal Republic compared with the former German Democratic Republic. This is often used as reason for a call for structural requirements and minimum caseload for the care for very low birth weight infants.
METHOD
Neonatal and infant mortality were calculated for the 16 German federal states with data from the German statistical federal office for the years 2008-2012.
RESULTS
Considerable variations were found for the neonatal (1.34-3.61‰, total Germany 2.31‰) and the infant (2.38-5.20‰, 3.47‰) mortality. The rate of stillborn infants was 3.56‰. A lower neonatal mortality in the former German Democratic Republic (1.62‰ vs. 2.44‰, p<0.0001, Chi-squared test) could not be confirmed for preterm infants with birth weight less than 1 500 g. In the former German Democratic Republic stillbirth was significantly more frequent in preterm infants with birth weight 500-999 g (p<0.0001). Combined stillbirth and neonatal mortality showed no difference between the German Federal Republic and former German Democratic Republic (5.45‰ and 5.29‰, respectively, n.s.; infants less than 500 g birth weight were excluded). The average number of preterm infants per perinatal centre and federal state had no influence on state specific neonatal mortality.
CONCLUSION
If stillborn infants were accounted for no difference was found between the German Federal Republic and the former German Democratic Republic regarding mortality. Comparing infant mortality of different countries has to account for stillborn infants. Considerable variation of neonatal mortality is persisting throughout Germany despite structural requirements and introduction of a minimum caseload since 2005. A lower infant mortality in the former German Democratic Republic and implications drawn from are not supported by the presented nationwide data from the German statistical federal office.<|endoftext|>Corneal Tissue Engineering: From Bench to Clinic

The COVID-19 pandemic is spreading globally with high disparity in the susceptibility of the disease severity. Identification of the key underlying factors for this disparity is highly warranted. Here we describe constructing a proteomic risk score based on 20 blood proteomic biomarkers which predict the progression to severe COVID-19. We demonstrate that in our own cohort of 990 individuals without infection, this proteomic risk score is positively associated with proinflammatory cytokines mainly among older, but not younger, individuals. We further discovered that a core set of gut microbiota could accurately predict the above proteomic biomarkers among 301 individuals using a machine learning model, and that these gut microbiota features are highly correlated with proinflammatory cytokines in another set of 366 individuals. Fecal metabolomic analysis suggested potential amino acid-related pathways linking gut microbiota to inflammation. This study suggests that gut microbiota may underlie the predisposition of normal individuals to severe COVID-19.<|endoftext|>“Great Stay” Hotel was well located, staff were very friendly a...

Gunn pinned Jeff (13:50).
The Rock pinned Hulk Hogan (16:23).
WWF Women's Champ Jazz beat Trish Stratus and Lita (6:16) in a "triple threat" when she pinned Lita.
Triple H pinned Chris Jericho (18:41) to win the WWF World Title.
Oh yeah, RVD is still in the WWE isn't he? Poor guy. I'm sure he wouldn't mind injuring the Game one more time.
Don't forget Regal/Storm, The Dudleys, Christian, the women, Steven Richards and the rest of the Heat crew. maybe they will have more than one match on Heat before the PPV.
Regal jerked the curtain against the top midcard face, Angle was in the midcard, Triple H won in the last match of the night which was a title match?
I don't like these trends.
ummm...The I.C Match started both shows...Is that it?
We all already put Regal/Storm and Dudz Together, Women too. Richards doesn't need a match.
That would be another one, but there is no IC title anymore...
THANKS, TRIPLE H!<|endoftext|>1. Stem cell transplant in clinical practice.

We’re all tired of the ‘content is the king’ mantra, right? But that doesn’t mean that it is not true. More and more companies tend to use branded content marketing while pushing their brand awareness.
Answering your question – yes, it still works. But it’s all about the way you do it and whether you produce top-quality content that brings value to your target audience.
We want to make it clear that reaching out to your customers is proportionally dependent on the value you bring to the customer. Too many brands have fallen into the trap of useless content creation and distribution without even doing initial research of the niche. Of course, this ended up as a disaster. That’s why it is essential to have enough knowledge about content marketing blogs and the benefits of content marketing.
1. Define the Mission of Your Content Marketing
So this is the reason why we compiled this comprehensive article. Let’s kick off our list of tips with the fundamental groundwork that you’ve got to do before you even start producing content. There is a slight chance that you’re reading this article because you’re already a content creator, and you’re simply not heard by the audience. Basically, if you follow these tips from A to Z, you will see where you’ve made a mistake and how you can fix it.
There are three questions that you’ve got to ask yourself at this stage. You can call them the grand three pillars that may hold your content marketing afloat.
Who Is the Potential Audience?
When we talk about content-centered marketing, we mean that our idea is to start the content production based on specific niche research. And we are producing content on a particular topic, the audience will follow.
The opposite of that is the audience-centered content. This may work for you if you have an extensive user base in the company that never worked with the digital content marketing. Then you can make a research on the existing audience and start the content production. Then it’s easier to reach to the customers, cause your whole content strategy is based on the research of your existing audience.
Since we’re building the content-centered marketing strategy, we’ve got to make the research of the potential audience, not the existing one. You can do your research in several ways: analyze your potential competitors, run questionnaires of the target groups, etc.
When you know who your potential audience is, it will be easier to predict what kind of content they will find valuable.
What Are Your Topics and Niche?
Define a specific niche you work in and the topics that you cover. You won’t be able to deliver substantial results when you try to work with everything. Only long-term work with the correctly selected topics will help you provide a genuinely qualitative content with reputable expertise.
Plus, since content-marketing is tied with search engine optimization, it’s simply easier to grow the website or blog authority when you specialize in a specific topic.
What Is the Value That You Bring with Your Content?
This is by far the most complicated question that most of the content creators may not be able to answer. And that is bad; cause content will only resonate with your audience when they find it valuable.
What kind of expertise do you have? Are you ready to share the ins and outs of the problems that you’re trying to put in a spotlight on your blog? When your answer is ‘Yes,’ and you know how your end-user will be able to benefit from your content, you are a few steps ahead of the competitors.
What Type of Content May Resonate the Most?
That’s where you can experiment if your research is not consistent enough. You can produce different types of content and analyze the results. After you’re able to cross-out the content that your users are not interacting with, you will be able to boost the engagement on your website or blog.
2. Locate the Channels That Your Target Audience Uses
Digital content marketing is not just about the content production for your blog. You’ve got to know what marketing channels this content to distribute to. Otherwise, you will be left one on one with the SEO, and that’s not enough for the significant boost of your marketing results.
Once you’ve done the required research of your potential audience, you need to highlight the social platforms and communication channels that your audience uses the most. This way, you will be able to avoid knocking on the wrong doors. One of the most popular mistakes that content marketers do is not utilizing the social platforms which their customers use the most.
Unfortunately, many marketers tend to underestimate the results that can be achieved through these marketing channels and simply cut out the hand that can feed them.
3. Use Audience Insights to Drive Your Content Marketing Strategy
The results of your potential audience research and the engagement that you see from your active users that interact with your content should become a core in your digital content marketing strategy.
We genuinely believe that you’ve got to develop a strategy with specific guidelines that you will follow in your content production. When you apply the audience-related insights to your content-centered marketing strategy, you will be able to improve the reach of your content.
These insights are essential for the further growth of your website or blog.
4. Map Your Content to Your Customers’ Buyer Journey
The question that we all ask ourselves is how to reach the right customers at the right time. Cause, after all, most of the companies that utilize content in their marketing activities want to sell products or services. That’s the core reason for us to reach to the end-user and explain how valuable our brand is. It’s obvious.
So let’s say you already have enough valuable content on your blog, but your core audience of the website doesn’t notice you reaching out to them. What’s next? Another excellent idea for your content to be heard is to map your content to the customers’ buyer journey. You can provide your customers with insights in the form of articles when he may not be sure about his decision or struggle with one. This way, your content will serve as the final hit of the hammer that pushes the nail all the way through.
5. Develop and Implement an Effective Content Distribution Plan
Your content should not only be produced with care and attention details. You also need to work with the plan of content distribution. Do you already have a distribution routine that you perform every time you have a new article out? Are you sure that you utilize every opportunity of content distribution?
There are several directions that you may take to distribute your content successfully. We have already discussed some of the above, but let’s finalize this list to make sure we have this cheat sheet.

Virginia McGathey ... “Wheat was also down. The CME reported that they were bringing on a new product in the Black Sea region that adds just one more portal for purchasing in the whole world wheat market that makes it much more difficult for us to participate, but today’s sell-off really keeps the futures in that lower area of that consolidation range. There has been a little more pressure today, but all the grains really started to sink somewhat and that usually happens here at harvest time. That’s not to say that it’s going to be a complete freefall, but right now it’s a little bit lower. Maybe tomorrow, turn-around Tuesday, will help support some of the markets coming back.”

A few minutes of thoughtful silence may help young African-American students cope with stresses of everyday life, Chicago researchers are finding.
The Erikson Institute is leading a four-year study of 2,000 Chicago Public School students to find out whether “mindfulness” activities can boost academic achievement in young children from minority, low-income households.
African-American children make up close to 40 percent of Chicago public school populations.
Psychologists define mindfulness as the practice of bringing one’s attention to the internal and external experiences occurring in the present moment, a skill most often achieved through meditation.
Amanda Moreno, assistant professor of early childhood development at the institute, said preliminary results have been promising. She recently spoke with neaToday, the official publication of the National Education Association, about the impact of trauma on children’s brains.
Moreno said local teachers and administrators have told her that setting aside time for mindfulness is actually increasing the amount of time left for instruction. Students quickly regain focus during transitions from one subject to the next, and they are calming down more quickly after upsets.
“This makes classrooms more efficient, but it also helps with an even bigger goal: Helping children grow up to be healthy adults,” the article noted.
According to the institute, the daily exercises include yoga-influenced poses or controlled breathing. Students needing a mental break can also use “The Calm Spot”, a tablet app that guides children through relaxing, nature scenes up to four times a day.
In addition to classroom-based efforts, Erikson offers “Calm Community” sessions, which teach the children to how apply techniques they’ve learned at home and in their communities. Parents are encouraged to share their challenges with children during “Parent Nights”, where they can learn how to incorporate mindfulness at home.
Researchers in the field of neuropsychology have discovered that repeated stressful or traumatic experiences have a cumulative effect on the brain, permanently altering the organ in some cases. This is because the human brain immediately activates the fight or flight response whenever danger is imminent and reduces activity in the areas responsible for learning, especially language.
For children under the age of five, the brain can begin to operate in a constant state of survival.
“It’s an appropriate adaptation to their circumstances,” Moreno told neaToday. “But it comes at enormous cost to schooling, especially with the way we do schooling in this country, which is very standardized.”
Black children are more likely to be exposed to violence than other children, which increases the risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder, according to the Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health.
The disorder often manifests itself as irritable, angry, or aggressive behavior, including extreme temper tantrums. Black students are more likely to be suspended or expelled for behavioral issues than other groups of children.
Policymakers have struggled to find solutions to the alarming disparities in the US public education system.
Racial and ethnic inequalities have plagued the United States since before the days of Jim Crow. The achievement gap between Black and white students persists 60 years after the Supreme Court put an end to separate, but equal institutions. African-American children consistently score lower on standardized tests and are less likely to graduate high school.
But a surprising study found that those differences disappear at the Kindergarten level. The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study of the Kindergarten class of 1998-99, sponsored by the US Department of Education, found that when socioeconomic characteristics are the same, Black and white students enter kindergarten at the same level.
From the beginning of kindergarten to the end of first grade, Black students lost 20 percent of a standard deviation – 10 percent per year – in comparison to white students with the same background, according to the report.
The results suggest that early intervention is the key to bridging the chasm.
2 thoughts on “Black Life is Stressful: Researchers Believe Meditation May Help Bridge Achievement Gap Between Black and White Students”
I enjoyed this article. Mindfulness and meditation have been proven to aid in stressful situations, emotional upheavals and just routine life. It has been proven meditation aids in better physical health as well.
All the meditation in the world will not help anyone who eats bad food and have little to no self-esteem.<|endoftext|>When bringing my dog to the groomers tonight, he yawned the entire ride there. I wasn’t sure what could be causing it? Tiredness? Stress? Excitement?
The general consensus is that nobody knows. Several blogs I skimmed tonight suggest that it could be for all three reasons above. Based on his demeanor, I would guess excitement in this case. I’m going to try another groomer next time to see if his actions are different and maybe help pinpoint his temperament about hair cuts.

But, more specifically, how does it go? Is this new name accepted in the field? How do the families react? Here is a small overview about the deployment of our new name.
At the institutional level
After the first extraordinary general meeting of last 28th April that decided the change of the name, we engage ourselves through the process with the prefecture to be officially recognized with the new name… those processes were finally achieved at the end of August! French administration, when you hold us…alongside this project, we finalized the new association’s communication supports, and especially the website that was released in June.
In the field
Our teams and partners in the field as well as all the families seem to
easily get used to Djantoli. Although a “Pesinet” is sometimes pronounced, it is less and less common! A child’s mother who subscribed to the service in Bamako Coura gives a testimony: “It is good that Pesinet is now Djantoli! It is in Bambara and this the language that many understand… We better understand : the agents that take care of the children, regarding healthcare, education, all of this is to take care. Thus the change of name is good because we better understand the meaning of your work…” The new name is thus generally well accepted and the teams are happy with the new visual identity that they use today to increase our visibility in the different areas. In Mali, they even decided to embellish all the office with Djantoli’s colours. Beside that, since last August, the agents are wearing yellow coats, made by a local designer, that allow them to be more recognizable and increase their credibility.
Rewards for this new identity!
Communication’s professionals have already rewarded to its fair value the strong and innovative identity created by the agency Landor for Djantoli. They have thus received a special price from the jury for the excellence in marketing price rewarded by the ADETEM on 3rd July, and has won the strategy of design category “numerical design” price in September.
We hope that this new identity will keep on seducing the partners as well as the families in order to continue together to increase the meter!

Here is my latest "creation". I made myself a new apron since I was hostess for Thanksgiving this year. I used batiks, and it's a two-sided apron. Pattern by Mary Mulari - The Church Ladies Apron. It was pretty easy to do, but I simplified it too.
I made the neck piece simpler and also made the apron ties skinnier and only used one fabric for them.
I didn't add the pockets either. I never use the pockets on an apron. They just seem to catch crumbs and things. Who's got time to put their hands in the pockets when they're cooking anyway? I've always been mystified about pockets on aprons. Besides, that leaves more fabric for me to play with another time!
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Everyone in the family was here, except for my niece who's in graduate school in Vermont. My sister and nephew came, and that was a lot of fun. It was fun to see the cousins talking and having fun together.
My sister brought me a gift when she came. Well, actually she brought all my birthday presents as this was the first time we'd seen each other since my birthday. But this one was very special to me. She brought me my late mother's recipe boxes. The one on the right was her original one. I "enhanced" it when I was in high school by decoupaging some cut-outs from a magazine or something. It doesn't look very good and I was always sorry I mucked it up. The one on the left was one DH and I made for her a number of years ago. We bought the box, he stained it and made the stencils and I stenciled it. I think I'm going to ditch my old, sad plastic recipe boxes and start using my mom's. I just need to sort through her recipes that are still in them.
This was a 'make & take' project from my LQS, Heavenly Quilts and Fabrics last month. Now I need to get it done in time for Christmas! My friend K in CA did blanket-stitch stitching around all the appliques for me (not included in this photo), and now I need to quilt and bind it, and then sew buttons on for the eyes and mouth. We'll see if I can actually get it done in time for this year.
Last week I took a class at Heavenly Quilts. Lisa taught us the braid quilt. This is what I have so far. I think I need 2 more braids to make a lap quilt the right size. I have lots of strips cut and ready to go. My guild gives the lap quilts to a couple of the local assisted living facilities.
At the guild's Christmas party last Friday, we drew for our next year's challenge. The Ugly Fabric Challenge. I think these fabrics are waaaay beyond ugly - they're in the "Hideous" category! We
had to got to pick a stapled-shut brown paper sack. Then we had to write our name on the back of the index card that had swatches of the fabrics stapled to it, so that when it's done, people can tell which fabrics we were working with. The finished quilts will be shown with these swatches at the quilt show. Each fabric is about a fat quarter in size, and we only have to use a recognizable piece. How big do you think that would be? I'm thinking an inch square should do it. *grin* The challenge is due in July.
I have no idea what I'll be doing with these, but I was assured that over-dying or using the wrong side of the fabric is allowed, so that definitely opens up more possibilities! These fabrics just make me shudder! Ewww! The sad part is, I recognize that middle fabric from (I think) the 80's. I think I may have even had some of it. I do find it the least offensive of the three. Just saying . . .
We've been having very cold weather for here. Two nights ago was our coldest, when we got down to 14 degrees! Brrr! I spent all weekend inside, trying to stay warm. We've been very dry |
Speedily arrives at the location.
The professionals never go beyond their set rules and cleaning procedures. They remain stick to it and apply. Before they disinfect, provide a deep cleaning application to the untidy mattress. They do not rush to complete it in just a single step. Quickly the team arrives at the mentioned address, after the client’s call. Start the method by first investigating the object. They mark all stained areas. They initiate working by turning on vacuum pumps and start absorbing the soil layer and allergens on the mattress.
Completely removal of dust is followed by the next step of stream processing. The mattress steam cleaning in Melbourne has beneficial and outstanding results.

<|endoftext|>The only reason I am selling these is because I accidentally placed 2 orders for these and ended up with 8 speakers instead of 4. It'll cost me roughly $30 to ship them back, so I figured I might as well offer them to someone on here for the same money I would get back from Amazon if I shipped them back.
I paid just over $140 shipped for these, and I am offering all 4 speakers for $110 shipped within the lower 48 states. Again, the ones I am selling are brand new, still sealed. I haven't even opened the large box that the extra ones came in. It's an excellent price on some great speakers... so please let me know if you are interested.
By the way, installing these requires no modification aside from drilling 4 new holes to screw the speakers in. They fit behind the door panels without effort. The speakers come with all hardware for installation of course, all you need is a small drill bit to pre-drill the holes for the screws.
i put the 4 ways in all my cars. pretty damn good speakers for the price.
These have been sold. Thanks everyone!<|endoftext|>RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif. — Finance Express, a provider of Web-based financial services and technology for independent dealerships, announced today that it has added Wachovia Dealer Services to its platform.

, guerrilla tactics, weapons training and all other jihad related activities.
(U//FOUO) Oregon TITAN Fusion Center Analyst Note:
Although there is a large amount of material on the internet regarding the above listed topics, the Jihadist must still function within the terrorist planning cycle. Online training eliminates the need for the Jihadist to travel overseas; however, the Jihadist must still:
1. Identify the target
2. Assemble information about the target (surveillance)
3. Acquire supplies
4. Build the device (if an IED attack)
5. Conduct attack rehearsal
Steps 1-5 of the planning cycle provide opportunities for State and Local officials to detect and report suspicious activity which could disrupt an attack planned using open source material from the internet.
(U//FOUO) Page 53 of Inspire Magazine Fall 2010: This section of Inspire provides readers with suggestions on how to individually wage jihad. The author suggests Jihadist conduct a suicide mission by using a 4 WD pickup truck to mow down pedestrians. The author specifically identifies the U.S. as a viable target for this attack method and writes that the general public is a valid target as long as the U.S. continues to target Muslim “non-combatants.”
The author suggests the following planning and attack cycle:
1. Acquisition of supplies: Modify the 4WD truck with steel blades or a sheet of steel at “torso level”; acquire a handgun; welding equipment *the author suggests holding off on welding just prior to the attack to eliminate opportunity for detection.
2. Identify Target/Gain Intelligence about the Target: Carefully choose the location and path of attack; narrow “spots” better *so that pedestrians can’t run for cover; avoid locations where vehicles may disrupt the attack; area that allows for maximum speed and control
3. Conduct actions on the Objective: “Mow down pedestrians”; use handgun to “finish” wounded pedestrians
4. Escape and Evasion: If vehicle is grounded, keep fighting until you achieve martyrdom
(U//FOUO) Indicators and Warnings:
*The presence of one or more of these indicators should raise the awareness level of first responders
1. Acquisition of welding or fabrication expertise and equipment
2. Acquisition of large number of knives or sheet metal for modifying vehicle
3. Elicitation of security personnel, first responders, or citizens for directions to or locations of mass gatherings.
4. Modifying front bumper of vehicle with knives or large piece of sheet metal
5. Driving vehicle with similar modification
6. Possession of maps, written plans, or information reflecting locations of mass gatherings
7. Statements expressing approval for or plans to conduct this type of attack.
8. Recording a martyrdom video
9. Strategically parking or standing vehicle in a strategic location to provide for acceleration prior to impacting a crowd or barrier.
(U//FOUO) Oregon TITAN Fusion Center Analyst Note:
“The Ultimate Mowing Machine”: This type of attack could be successfully conducted on almost any street. Based on the author’s advice, the Jihadist would most likely choose a location which would inflict the most amount of damage. Street fairs, public events, and pedestrians exiting venues such as the Rose Garden in Portland or theater events present an opportunity to kill more pedestrians than a random ramming attack on pedestrians in an intersection. Although historic ramming TTP has yielded low fatalities, the psychological impact of such an attack would be high. Target selection and planning for this type of attack could be conducted almost entirely online; however, there is an opportunity for disruption of the attack during the vehicle modification stage or detection while the subject is enroute to the attack. Large venues such as street fairs or events on the national mall could be protected by barriers however a heavy-duty vehicle could overcome chain link fencing. During the attack phase, first responders could disable the Jihadi’s vehicle by attempting to disable the Jihadi’s vehicle using their privately owned or government issued vehicle. First responders should use caution when approaching a potentially disabled vehicle, as the Jihadi may attempt to inflict further injuries using a handgun or other weapon such as an IED or incendiary device.
(U//FOUO) Page 55 of Inspire Magazine Fall 2010:
“Tips for our brothers in the United States of America” Mass Shootings: This section warns readers that police officers don’t care about their constitutional rights and may “trump up” charges in order to arrest Muslims. The author warns readers about the possibility of informants, electronic surveillance and suggested electronic security measures, risks of traveling overseas for training, risks of consorting with known Jihadist, having a cover story ready, emphasizing a well planned attack with 6 months to 1 year preparation as opposed to a “rushed job,” and encouraging followers to wage Jihad on U.S. soil. Suggested attack methods include a random active shooter operation similar to the Fort Hood shooting. The author specifically addresses “a random hit at a crowded restaurant in Washington DC at lunch hour” in order to kill government
employees and gain maximum media attention.
(U//FOUO) Oregon TITAN Fusion Center Analyst Note:
This type of attack has the potential to yield a high fatality count and could be successfully conducted on numerous restaurant, workplace, public area, or mass gathering in Oregon and SW Washington. This type of attack could be conducted with very few opportunities to observe and disrupt the attack prior to it being carried out. Active shooters may be calm and methodical such as Major Nidal Hassan, or they may show indicators similar to a suicide bomber, such as:
- Nervousness, nervous glancing or other signs of mental discomfort/being ill. This may include sweating, “tunnel vision” (staring forward inappropriately) and repeated inappropriate prayer (e.g., outside the facility) or muttering. This may also include repeated entrances and exits from the building or facility.
- Inappropriate, oversized and/or loose-fitting clothes (e.g., a heavy overcoat on a warm day).
- Keeping hands in pockets
Security personnel should be told to observe people, when possible, as they exit their cars. This can be done by watching how they adjust clothing and how they approach the building, looking for signs that a person might be carrying a weapon, etc.

ogenic intestinal bacterial species selectively induce experimental colitis, with host specificity. Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis patients exhibit pathogenic immune responses (loss of immunologic tolerance) to multiple normal enteric bacterial species and serologic responses to Mycobacterium paratuberculosis. Metronidazole and ciprofloxacin selectively treat colonic Crohn disease, but not ulcerative colitis or ileal Crohn disease, and may prevent recurrence of postoperative Crohn disease. Certain probiotic species decrease relapse of ulcerative colitis and chronic pouchitis and delay onset of pouchitis. Summary Normal, nonpathogenic enteric bacteria induce and perpetuate chronic intestinal inflammation in genetically susceptible hosts with defective immunoregulation, bacterial clearance, or mucosal barrier function. Altering the composition and decreasing mucosal adherence/invasion of commensal bacteria with antibiotics, probiotics, and prebiotics can potentially prevent and treat Crohn disease, pouchitis, and possibly ulcerative colitis, but optimal treatments have not yet been identified.<|endoftext|>Exposure of female rats to a 100-microT 50 Hz magnetic field does not induce consistent changes in nocturnal levels of melatonin.
The hypothesis whereby alternating (50 or 60 Hz) magnetic fields such as those produced by electric power reduce the nocturnal production of melatonin in the pineal gland and thereby indirectly enhance development and growth of breast cancer has attracted a great deal of interest. In view of the potential importance of this hypothesis that there is a link between electric power and breast cancer, which is also known as the "melatonin hypothesis", we undertook various experiments in female Sprague-Dawley rats to evaluate whether 100-microT 50 Hz magnetic-field exposure, i.e. a flux density shown recently to exert a tumor (co)promoting effect in the 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) model of breast cancer in Sprague-Dawley rats, consistently reduces melatonin levels and, if not, which factors may be involved in the inconsistent effects of magnetic-field exposure on production of melatonin. Long-term exposure of female Sprague-Dawley rats to magnetic fields for 13 weeks did not alter the nocturnal levels of melatonin in the pineal gland or serum (determined 5 h after the onset of darkness) significantly, irrespective of whether rats were treated with DMBA or not. In one experiment, when blood was sampled 3, 5 and 6 h after the onset of darkness after 2 weeks of magnetic-field or sham exposure, a significant decrease in melatonin was seen in magnetic-field-exposed rats at 6 h. However, the results could not be reproduced in two subsequent experiments in other groups of rats. Shorter (1 day, 1 week) or longer (4, 8, 13 weeks) exposure periods also did not result in any significant effects of the magnetic field on melatonin levels when blood sampling was performed either 5 or 6 h after onset of the dark phase. Various potential sources of variation in melatonin levels or in magnetic-field effects on melatonin levels were evaluated, but the reason(s) for the inconsistent effect of magnetic-field exposure remains unclear. Thus the present study failed to demonstrate a consistent effect of 100-microT 50 Hz magnetic-field exposure on melatonin levels in Sprague-Dawley rats.<|endoftext|>On Synchronous Robotic Networks—Part I: Models, Tasks, and Complexity
This paper proposes a formal model for a network of robotic agents that move and communicate. Building on concepts from distributed computation, robotics, and control theory, we define notions of robotic network, control and communication law, coordination task, and time and communication complexity. We illustrate our model and compute the proposed complexity measures in the example of a network of locally connected agents on a circle that agree upon a direction of motion and pursue their immediate neighbors.<|endoftext|>Location and Magnitude from Seismic Intensity Data of Recent and Historic Earthquakes in the Northern Rhine Area, Central Europe
By adapting and calibrating Bakun and Wentworth's (1997) solution strategy for seismic intensity observations for the Northern and Middle Rhine Area (NRA), Central Europe, local magnitudes with objective confidence-level uncertainties are estimated for 23 test-set earthquakes that occurred between 1692 and 1963. Analysis of 4375 Medvedev Sponheuer Karnik intensity (MSKI) observations for 14 instrumentally recorded and located training-set events suggests that an intensity magnitude, M LI, corresponding to local magnitude, M L, can be determined from the mean of M LIi = (MSKIi + 0.7374 + 0.0184 * Δi)/1.2673. Δi is the distance in km of observation MSKIi. In a grid of 81 × 51 trial epicenters, 5-km grid-point distance, contours of rms [ M LI], where rms is the root mean square, bound the epicentral region. A total of 3628 intensity observations was used for the test-set earthquakes, seven of which showed M LI ≥ 5.5. The strongest historical events are the Verviers 1692 and the Duren 1756 events with M LI values of 6.8 and 6.4, respectively.<|endoftext|>An Analysis on Influencing Factors of Interlayer Separation of Complex Roof in Deep Coal Mining

The conclusions were drawn that original rock stress, rock characters, rock thickness and tunnel width had obvious influence and cohesion and friction angle of construction surface had little influence on separation of construction surface.<|endoftext|>Side-to-side differences in bone strength in master jumpers and sprinters.
INTRODUCTION
This study evaluated side-to-side difference in tibial bone structure, calf muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) and hopping force in master athletes as a result of training for sports with different magnitudes of inter-leg loading difference.
METHODS
Tibial bone parameters (at 4%, 14%, 38% and 66% tibial length proximal to distal end), muscle CSA (at 66% tibial length) and hopping forces of both legs of 51 master athletes (conditioned jumpers, conditioned triple jumpers, unconditioned jumpers, hurdlers and sprinters) were examined using pQCT. In epiphyseal 4% slice bone CSA (Ar.tot), total BMC (vBMC.tot), trabecular BMC (vBMC.tb) cortical BMC (vBMC.ct), and trabecular BMD (vBMD.tb) were measured. In diaphyseal slices, Ar.tot, vBMC.ct, cortical density (vBMD.ct), cross-sectional moment of inertia (CSMI) and calf muscle CSA (MuscA) were examined.
RESULTS
In conditioned jumpers, side-to-side differences in favour of take-off leg were found in 4% slice in vBMC.tb (+4.1%) (P<0.05). A side-to-side difference was found in 66% slice vBMC.ct and CSMI (both P<0.05), with conditioned jumper (+2.8% and 6.6%) and triple jumper (+2.7% and 7.2%) values higher than other groups.
CONCLUSION
The results suggest that regular training in high-impact sports with uneven lower limb loading results in side-to-side differences in skeletal adaptation independent of age and gender, suggesting that high-impact exercise is effective in maintaining bone strength throughout human lifespan.<|endoftext|>Agreement and repeatability of corneal tomography in healthy eyes using a novel Swept-Source optical coherence tomographer, a rotating Scheimpflug camera and a dual Scheimpflug-Placido system.
PURPOSE
To investigate the accordance and repeatability of tomographic parameters measured by a novel Swept-Source optical coherence tomographer (SS-OCT, ANTERION), a rotating Scheimpflug camera (RSC, Pentacam) and a dual Scheimpflug-Placido system (DSP, Galilei G6).
SETTING
Department of Ophthalmology of Univ. Hospital Carl Gustav Carus, Dresden, Germany.
DESIGN
Prospective reliability analysis.
METHODS
Thirty randomly selected eyes of 30 healthy participants were enrolled in this study. Normal tomography were ensured by bilaterally evaluating appropriated parameters using RSC. All subjects received three consecutive measurements on each device by the same operator and in the uniform order RSC, SS-OCT and DSP. Anterior (ACP) and posterior (PCP) corneal parameters such as flat and steep keratometry and corneal thickness were analyzed. Repeatability was assessed by using a coefficient of repeatability (CR) and a coefficient of variation (CV). Agreement between RSC and SS-OCT as well as RSC and DSP were shown by Bland-Altman plots (BA).
RESULTS
CR of ACP did not exceed 0.5 D. There were no statistical differences in repeatability of ACP obtained from the three devices (P>0.05). For PCP and corneal thickness there was statistically significant higher repeatability mostly found for SS-OCT as opposed to RSC and DSP (P<0.05). For a wide range of analyzed parameters there were large limits of agreement (95%-LoA) found between the devices.
CONCLUSION
The SS-OCT showed highly repeatable measurements in healthy subjects regarding anterior, posterior and corneal thickness parameters. Repeatability of ACP did not differ between the devices. A mostly wide range of 95%-LoA prevents interchangeability between the devices.<|endoftext|>Pete Tomassi is a CERT |

This paper sets out to answer two related questions: (1) what is the major motivation behind integration-from-abroad requirements, which include tests and language courses administered at a migrant’s point of origin?, and (2) what accounts for differences between new programs? After considering the significance and empirical differences of pre-entry integration programs in Western European states, I illustrate how mandatory language and country knowledge training from abroad primarily represent a decisive, strategic, and growingly effective instrument for immigration control. I root the political opportunity for integration controls in supranational, EU Directives on Family Reunification and Status of Third Country Nationals. I also look more closely at the Dutch Civic Integration from Abroad exam to show the effects of controls on family-based visa categories and certain nationalities affected by this “integration” test. Following this examination of the Dutch model, I account for differences between state practices by discussing the process of policy learning and the role of domestic blocking factors, including cost, feasibility, and judicial opposition. I conclude that this stratified convergence in immigration policy yields important consequences not only on the immigration experience itself but also a critical rethinking on the role and instrumentalism of integration in contemporary ethnic relations.<|endoftext|>Development of an intelligent case-based system for help desk operations
Help desks are computer-aided environments that assist customer response centers in providing front-line phone support to external and internal customers. With the proliferation of diverse software and hardware, the centers need to handle more and more incoming calls for help. Since customer support centers are often the first point of contact for customers, it is important to ensure customer satisfaction when a call is placed. The objective of this project is to develop a case-based help desk system to support both call center personnel and customers. The process of system development, including knowledge acquisition, knowledge representation, system implementation, and verification are discussed with an emphasis on the structured and automated development method applied to the process.<|endoftext|>Women on treatment with any of Cyclessa medicinal present should temporarily use a barrier method http://eridanuspills.com/antibiotics-medications/alfaciclina.php addition to Desogestrel.

OBJECTIVE
Pregnancy-induced hypertension is still a common cause for fetal morbidity and mortality besides causing life-threatening diseases for the mother. The aethiology of this disease is still unclear. Some research support the theory of an immunological genesis.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
32 patients were treated for gestosis or HELLP-Syndrome in our clinic. A number of data, blood samples as well as the immunological status (IL-6, Interferon-gamma. TNF-alpha und TNF-alpha-receptores p 55/p 75) of every patient were taken into consideration and compared to the results of 44 pregnant women in good health.
RESULTS
Predisposing factors seem to have an crucial impact on the development of PIH. Under stimulation of peripheral blood monocytes the immunological results and the measurement of cytokines showed a significantly higher concentration of TNF-alpha compared to the results of the control group. The tendency of an increase of TNF-alpha-receptors p 75 was observed however it proved to have no statistical relevant when comparing the results of both groups.
DISCUSSION
An new approach to examine the aethiology of pregnancy-induced hypertensive diseases consists in measuring immunotransmitters such as interferon, Interleukin and the tumor necrosis factor. The increased concentration of TNF-alpha and TNF-alpha-receptor shows the involvement of the cytokines thus supporting the hypothesis of an immunological genesis.<|endoftext|>Sensory Evaluation of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon Wines: Effects of Harvest Maturity and Prefermentation Soluble Solids
Adjusting the soluble solids of the prefermentation must is a tool by which winemakers can manipulate the flavor profile of a wine. Total soluble solids (TSS) are often modified prior to fermentation by chaptalization or the addition of water, but can be modified also in the vineyard, by allowing the fruit to further mature on the vine. This work presents the effects of harvest maturity and prefermentation TSS on the flavor profile of Cabernet Sauvignon (CS) and Syrah (SY) wines. Fruit from each cultivar was harvested at three approximate maturity targets: 20 Brix (unripe), 24 Brix (ripe), and 28 Brix (overripe). Must from each harvest was first divided, then the TSS was adjusted to match each of the target maturities; for example, portions of the 24 Brix harvest were adjusted to 20 or 28 Brix. Descriptive analysis found 10 attributes that varied significantly among the CS wines and 14 attributes which varied significantly among the SY wines. Harvest maturity primarily impacted the CS aroma profile, as wines produced from unripe fruit showed increased green aroma, but wines produced from ripe/overripe fruit showed increased jammy berries aroma. Increasing the prefermentation TSS of the CS must increased the intensity of bitterness, hotness, and viscosity, but decreased the sourness. The SY wine flavor profile was impacted heavily by increasing the prefermentation TSS, which showed greater intensities of astringency, ethanol aroma, hot mouthfeel, jammy fruit aroma, rose aroma, solvent aroma, ethanol aroma, and viscous mouthfeel. SY fruit maturity significantly affected astringency and earthy aroma, but an interactive effect between harvest maturity and TSS was found for sulfur, cabbage aroma, and bitterness.<|endoftext|>Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery is a very safe procedure with very low rates of conversion to full sternotomy.
OBJECTIVES
Over the past 10 years, minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MI-MVS) has become the standard approach for treatment of atrio-ventricular valve disease in specialized centres. This approach uses a right lateral mini-thoracotomy and femoral cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass. In a very low number of patients, conversion to full sternotomy may be necessary.
METHODS
A total of 3125 patients underwent MI-MVS between 1999 and 2010 at our institution. Conversion to full sternotomy was required in 1.0% (n=34) of all patients. Patient data, including intraoperative course and postoperative outcome, were collected. Follow-up data were collected in a prospective database and analysed retrospectively.
RESULTS
A total of 34 patients underwent conversion to full sternotomy during MI-MVS. The mean age of patients was 67.9±9.5 years, and 17 patients were female (50%). The main reasons for conversion were as follows: major bleeding in 18 patients (52.9%); severe pulmonary adhesions in six patients (17.6%); and aortic dissection in five patients (14.7%). The clinical outcome of these patients was impaired, with the development of acute renal failure in 13 patients (38.2%) and respiratory failure in 10 patients (29.4%). Operative mortality (30 days) was 23.5% (eight patients). The reason for death in all these patients was low cardiac output syndrome with subsequent multi-organ failure.
CONCLUSIONS
This large series shows that MI-MVS can be performed with very low complication rates. In the experience of this large single-centre study, conversion to full sternotomy was necessary in only 1% of all patients. If conversion is indicated, however, it is associated with a high operative mortality.<|endoftext|>Infected Hematoma in the Setting of Nonoperatively Treated Proximal Humerus Fracture: A Report of Two Cases.

, marital status and primary language. Outcomes included inpatient mortality, mortality 28 days after discharge, readmission and length of stay. Multivariate analysis was performed for all factors that had an association with a p value of <0.2 in univariate analysis in a model that accounted for frailty status. Results: Mean age of patients was 81 and 55% were women. Patients who were able to walk further had decreased mortality with OR 0.06(0.01,0.53). Patients who did not leave the house prior to admission had increased mortality with an OR 6.82(3.09,15.05). Living arrangement, person supportive of discharge and distance walked prior to hospitalisation were all associated with a decreased length of stay. None of the health assets examined were protective against readmission. Conclusion: Health assets improved outcomes across the frailty spectrum. Elucidating factors associated with recovery for hospitalized older adults can improve prognostication and guide development of interventions.<|endoftext|>Horizontal pursuit defect nystagmus
A teenage girl with a chronic large posterior fossa tumor had primary position right‐beating nystagmus with a constant‐velocity slow phase. Smooth pursuit was normal to the left but absent to the right. Vestibuloocular movements were present in both directions. The findings are analogous to downbeat and upbeat nystagmus, in which unidirectional pursuit palsies have been postulated as the pathogenic mechanism. This is the first reported case of a horizontal pursuit defect causing nystagmus.<|endoftext|>Fast pre-charge strategy of a modified MMC with enhanced DC fault ride-through capability
This paper proposes a modified topology of modular multilevel converter (MMC) to accelerate the DC fault ride-through speed. The modified topology mainly consists of a half bridge sub-module (HBSM) and a modified series double submodule (MSDSM). The difference between the series double submodule (SDSM) and the MSDSM is a damping resistance which is used to increase the capability of the energy dissipation when DC fault occurs. This improvement can disperse the energy to dissipate. Moreover, the selection of resistance is analyzed. In addition, an improved pre-charging strategy based on this modified topology is presented to shorten the start-up time of MMC. At the same time, the value of additional limiting resistance can be lowered because the damping resistances of the MSDSMs are more fully utilized. Simulation results demonstrate the validity of the proposed topology and pre-charging strategy.<|endoftext|>Fuzzy logic based railway track condition monitoring system
In recent years, the need to improve the quality and comfort of railway passengers, there has been increased demands to reduce the level of noise and vibration, experienced during travel. Different researches have focused on reducing the level of vibration. Track irregularities are the main causes of vibration and thus carefully monitor the parameter to improve the ride quality. Vibration may arise vertically and laterally, in this vertical vibration is higher. In this paper, we proposed a new method called Fuzzy Track Monitoring System (FTMS) for estimating the irregularities present in the railway track at running time. The vibration sensor is mounted on the axel box and the bogie of the train for measuring the acceleration in the lateral and vertical directions. The system automatically tracks the location of vibration and sends it to the central office. The performance of proposed approach was studied and it proves that the proposed approach is capable for real time measurements.<|endoftext|>SXLS RF cavity and system

The facile uptake of CO2 gas in a non-porous molecular crystal constituted by long molecules with carbazole and ethynylphenyl moieties was reported in experiments recently. Herein, the mechanism of gas uptake by this crystal is elucidated using atomistic molecular simulations. The uptake of CO2 is shown to be facilitated by (i) the capacity of the crystal to expand in volume due to weak intermolecular interactions, (ii) the parallel orientation of the long molecules in the crystal and (iii) the ability of the molecule to marginally bend, yet not lose crystallinity due to the anchoring of the terminal carbazole groups. The retention of crystallinity upon sorption and desorption cycles is also demonstrated. At high enough pressures, near-neighbor CO2 molecules sorbed in the crystal are found to be oriented perpendicular to each other.<|endoftext|>As a former scientist, I find Number 2 mildly insulting. Clearly the authors and screenwriters who create these characters have never had to apply for ethics approval to conduct their research studies, which I can tell you from experience is a process both arduous and Byzantine. As it should be. As Tom Hanks said in A League of Their Own, “There is no room for sociopaths in science.” Or… something like that.
Back to my point (I swear I had one here somewhere).
While Number 1 is also mildly insulting, on further reflection, I have realized just how many of these movie-mad-scientists I totally love. Like Egon Spengler, played by the much-mourned Harold Ramis in Ghostbusters.

The Lion Inn in Boreham released a statement yesterday to confirm that a member of staff tested positive for the virus.
The pub has confirmed that the team member was not public facing and is currently in isolation.
Any team members who worked alongside that employee, who are also not customer facing, are also now self-isolating as a precaution.
Dozens of customers have commended the pub for its honesty and vigilance with the rules as well as social distancing measures.
In his statement, director Clive Thompson said: "We are all living in strange times and all doing our very best to keep each other safe. We feel that a part of that is sharing facts rather than rumour.
"A member of our team has tested positive for coronavirus, that is a fact. We realise this will cause concern for our customers, and we know it is essential to let you know some other facts.
"Our colleague is not public facing and we have chosen to isolate those team members working alongside, who are also not customer facing, as an extra precaution.
"We have since the beginning of the pandemic incorporated government guidelines into our day to day routine to ensure everyone's safety.
"In this latest development, we are also working with Chelmsford City Council and Public Health England who are satisfied we are meeting all current advice in order to protect both our customers and our team."
Julie Mirams, the manager of the Lion Inn, confirmed that the member of staff is doing well and recovering.
She said they have been heartened by the comments that have been sent to the pub to wish them all well and thank them for their service.
One customer wrote: "Appreciate the honesty! Wouldn't expect anything less from such a great establishment though. Hope the staff member involved recovers well."
Another added: "I’ve been to the Lion Inn twice since it opened again and the standards and protection are completely flawless!"
As it stands, the pub remains open and will continue as normal with all the guidelines and measures in place.<|endoftext|>Gene Selection and Tissue Classification Based on Support Vector Machine and Genetic Algorithm
The main problems in tissue classification by using DNA Microarray data are selecting genes relevant for a given tumor and constructing the optimized classifiers. This paper proposes a new gene selection and tissue classification method based on support vector machines and genetic algorithm. Firstly, the Wilcoxon-test is used as a coarse gene selection method to remove most of the irrelevant genes. Then the fine selection on the basis of its classification ability of a single gene with support vector machine is conducted to get the final gene subset. Finally, genetic algorithm is used to optimize the parameters of support vector machine to find out the best parameters with the gene subset. The experimental results with the Leukemia and breast cancer dataset show that the proposed strategy is more effective and competitive to the previous methods.<|endoftext|>TDDFT Studies on Sheet Size-Dependency of Optoelectronic Properties of 2D Silicon
Silicene, a two-dimensional (2D) silicon nanosheet, has gained immense interest due to potential applications, better compatibility, and expected integration with current silicon (Si) technology. This work explores the effects of silicene sheet size on its optoelectronic properties using Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT). Four structures of hydrogen-terminated silicene, Si13H22, Si19H30, Sis4H74, and Sil04H134are investigated. It is observed that the structures have size tunable spectral response in the UV spectrum. The optimized sheets show a relatively smaller physical deformation compared to equivalent sized 2D Germanium sheets. IR spectra calculation |

Search engines are great allies in our daily educational tasks. However, usually, these tools are designed for factual learning and are less effective when dealing with more complex learning tasks. For this reason, in recent years, Searching as Learning (SAL) research area has been developing from studies that target the challenges involving learning during the search process. It is known that the effectiveness of educational technologies in providing appropriate instructions depends on the input information. Gathering information on what should be taken into account in a searching as a learning process can support the development of specialized search engines to support higher levels of learning. Thus, we performed a systematic mapping of the literature to gather this information, raising the dimensions and their associated variables.<|endoftext|>After the first case of HIV infection in 1987, the number of cases has continuously increased in Pakistan, turning from isolated incidents to outbreaks to the concentrated epidemic. The HIV epidemic in Pakistan is mainly driven by subtype A, however, the overlapping transmission chains facilitate recombination between subtypes and existing circulating recombinants forms (CRFs), leading to the emergence of unique recombinant forms (URFs). Here, we report the first case of a URF (URF_DG) in a Pakistani HIV-infected patient. Phylogenetic and drug resistance analysis of the patient-derived sequence indicated that Pakistani URF_DG sequence was closely related to the URF_DG sequence reported from the United Kingdom (UK), but had more drug resistance mutations than the UK sequence.

As a serious and terminal stage of multiple cardiovascular diseases, heart failure (HF) is one of the most critical components of the current global strategies for the prevention and management of chronic diseases. With aging and the increased incidence of various cardiovascular diseases and related risk factors in the population, HF has also become a main reason for hospitalization and death of the elderly in China, which has resulted in a heavy burden on public health system and the economy. A 2003 report suggested that the prevalence of HF in China was 0.9%, higher in women than in men, and is increasing in proportion with aging. Although the mortality rate of HF seen in hospitals has declined, the long-term prognosis of HF in China is discouraging as demonstrated by a 3-year mortality rate of approximately 30%. HF diagnosis by brain natriuretic peptide, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, and echocardiography in China is unsatisfactory. Room for improvement is needed in drug and nondrug HF treatment in China. Intensive efforts are also needed to promote a real-world use of the current guidelines for recommended drugs that could improve HF patients' prognosis, including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, and β-blockers. Much work is also needed to embrace the concept of HF management and systems in China. In the future, more attention should also be given to domestic epidemiological and clinical study of HF, focusing on transformation of experimental results to a clinic setting, and ongoing recognition of and attention to HF preserved ejection fraction. An efficient HF management system in China should also highlight the importance of establishing the most cost-effective prevention and therapy strategies.<|endoftext|>As a Regional Mobile Application Developer, you’re an expert who will drive new product development on Facilities Management mobile solutions.

This paper is aimed at highlighting the concepts and ideas of sharia maqasid values as a highemulated mindset to produce maqasid knowledge in the international arena. In this case, there are many methods of submitting arguments to overcome the current problems of thinking thus resolving several issues, particularly in relation to integrity issues of financial management and political upheaval. In this regard, a study on the sharia maqasid is able to shed light on some important objectives or noble goals behind the implementation of the Islamic taklif through its laws and values. Hence, the idea of maqasid value should be comprehensively understood to shape the administration of property prudently as well as to improve the quality of disseminating of siyasah syar'iyyah from time to time. Based on the qualitative study through library research and analysis of the contents of the book by al-Juwayni, the author strives to explain maqasid knowledge and istidlal method as a cure and treatment of the present conflict. It turns out, it is a collective responsibility to produce a point of understanding among the authoritative parties even though the truth comes from the subordinates. The result, through this prudent approach, must be the value of wisdom and justice for all parties without prejudice.<|endoftext|>Speaking and hearing' Habermasian discourse ethics, feminism and IR

And for feminists and international relations theorists, he represents one of the directions in which feminist theory or post-positivist IR could develop, deepening its epistemological and sociological understanding without sacrificing the possibility of the rationally grounded critique of contemporary world politics. This article is the beginning of an attempt to trace through layers of difficulty encountered in using Habermas as a normative resource for a particular version of feminist international theory, which understands feminism to be a transnational, cosmopolitan (but not univocal) project, neither authorised nor legitimised by any foundational ground or teleological end. I will argue that although Habermas's notion of discourse ethics seems initially promising as a way forward for non-foundational feminist theory, in the end any ‘dialogue’ on Habermasian terms turns out to be one-sided and exclusive.<|endoftext|>Eleven lakh pensioners have been left out from Odisha government’s scheme to give pension to old, disabled, transgenders, HIV affected and widows since Aadhar has been made mandatory.
With the accounts of 11 lakh of an estimated 49 lakh beneficaries of old age, disability and widow pension in Odisha yet to be verified with their respective Aadhar numbers, right to food activists allege that the latest decision to debar such people from availing monthly welfare entitlements is a callous move during the coronavirus pandemic.
At least 49 lakh old, disabled, transgenders, HIV affected and widows in Odisha get monthly pension between Rs 500 and Rs 700 under the National Social Assistance Programme and Madhu Babu Pension Yojana. Though the rising bills have been a major drain on the state exchequer, these welfare measures |
of 17 years old or is not emancipated, and otherwise meets the requirements for being eligible for an Order of Protection.
What types of orders are available?
A Full Order of Protection prohibits the person who it is issued against from further acts, attempts or threats of abuse or stalking. The petition may request additional relief such as maintenance, child custody, child support and/or visitation. There are also Ex Parte Orders of Protection which offer the same kinds of protections as a Full Order but these Orders are more temporary in nature and are designed to protect the victim before the hearing on the merits occurs.
How long does the order of protection last?
A Full Order of Protection is issued for a specific period of time – at least 180 days, but not more than one year.
Where do I go to get a Petition form?
You can go to the Circuit Clerk’s Office at the County Courthouse and ask for a “Petition for Order of Protection.” Some counties have victim advocates to help you fill out the forms.
Who will help me fill out the petition if I can’t get an attorney?
The court clerks will explain how to fill out the form, but they cannot give you legal advice. Also, most counties have victim advocates to help you file your Petition, and they may go to with you to Court.
MMLS assists survivors of domestic assault in filing for an Order of Protection as well. For assistance, contact MMLS at 573-442-0116.
How do I fill out the Petition?
Read the directions carefully and answer the questions honestly. The judge needs to hear about the most recent violent event, the most violent and frightening events, the first violent event and how often the violence occurred. Answer specifically and give dates if possible. It helps to be specific about how your abuser hurt you, why you were afraid then, and why you are afraid now.
What if I don’t want the Respondent (the abuser) to know where I’m staying?
You are not required to reveal any current address or place of residence on the Petition. Do not provide this information if doing so will endanger you in any way.
Where do I file it?
You can file the Petition in the Circuit Clerk’s Office at the County Courthouse in the county where you live, where the abuse or stalking occurred, or where the abuser lives or works.
What does it cost?
Nothing. It is free.
What happens after I file my Petition?
The Clerk will give your Petition to a Judge, and the Judge may sign an Ex Parte (temporary) Order if the judge finds there is a present danger of abuse against you. You probably won’t have to talk to the Judge when you file the Petition. If the judge enters an Ex Parte Order, the Clerk will have a law enforcement officer give (serve) your abuser copies of the Ex Parte Order and the Petition you filed. The Order goes into effect immediately when the Judge signs it.
Whether or not an Ex Parte Order is issued, the Judge will have a hearing within 15 days to decide whether a Full Order of Protection should be issued. The Clerk can tell you the date and time for this hearing. You must attend this hearing and you should bring any witnesses, documents, photos, or other evidence of the abuse with you to the hearing. If you do not attend this hearing, your Petition for Order of Protection will be dismissed.
How soon can I get an Ex Parte (temporary) Order?
The petition will be presented to a judge immediately after filing, so an Ex Parte is usually entered the same day that the Petition is filed.
Does the Respondent see what I wrote in the Petition?
Yes. But, remember, you don’t have to include the address of where you are staying or working in the Petition.
Do I have to talk to the Judge?
You probably won’t have to talk to the judge when you file the Petition. However, you will speak to the judge at the hearing when the judge decides whether a Full Order of Protection should be issued.
How does the respondent (my abuser) get served with the petition?
A local law enforcement agency will serve the Respondent with the Petition either in-person or by mail.
Who serves the Respondent?
If the judge enters an Ex Parte Order, the Clerk will have a law enforcement officer give (serve) your abuser copies of the Ex Parte Order and the Petition you filed.
What if the Respondent doesn’t live in Missouri?
The Court will order out of state service on the Respondent, and he or she will be served with your Petition where he or she resides.
How do I prepare for the hearing?
The best way to prepare for the hearing is to remind yourself of what you alleged in your petition. You will need to put on evidence at the hearing about the abuse or stalking that you described. Often, the best way to do that is to testify to those facts in court. The most successful testimonies in courts occur when parties are able to recall specific instances and dates. Since you are testifying under oath, your entire testimony must be truthful. You should also anticipate any questions the other side will ask you on cross-examination. The most important part of your entire case will be your ability to communicate that you feel fear toward or are threatened by the person you are seeking your Order from.
Do I have to go to the hearing?
Yes, otherwise your case will be dismissed and you will have to re-file with the Court.
Do I need a lawyer?
No. These hearings can be done pro se (without a lawyer). However, the procedural rules of the Court still apply and the Respondent always will have the right to have a lawyer present at the hearing. Also, issues such as child support, division of property, visitation, and custody can arise in these cases. Therefore, it is best to have an attorney who knows the law and procedure of the courtroom to represent your rights and interests.
What should I plan to tell the judge?
You should plan to tell the judge a truthful account of the events alleged in your petition. In domestic abuse cases, many attorneys have their Petitioner clients discuss the first, worst, and last episodes of abuse they have encountered. You should be as specific as possible and recall specific dates and events. When referring to other people, be sure you are clear whom you are speaking about and avoid overusing vague words because they can confuse the Judge. You should be prepared to tell the judge why you are afraid of the adverse party and why you are seeking an Order of Protection from the Court.
What do I have to prove?
You have to prove that you are afraid of the adverse party and that your fear is reasonable based on the facts you alleged in your petition.
Do I need witnesses, photos, and police records to prove I was abused?
Maybe. If you plan to use photos or police records, you will have to follow the Court’s procedure to admit them as evidence at the hearing. The best way to use photos and police records as evidence is to consult an attorney for your specific situation. Calling witnesses is a little easier, but if you plan to call a police officer as a witness you will need to subpoena them well in advance of the trial. Many Petitioners (meaning those who filed the petition) think it is a good idea to call a long line of family members who have witnessed the abuse over the years, but that is not always true. Judges tend to discredit family members that serve as your witnesses because they may be biased. The amount of evidence needed to prove a case varies in each situation. However, you do not need to bombard the judge with every possible piece of evidence. Each piece of evidence you present should be crucial to proving an important aspect of your case.
What help or relief can I ask for?
In addition to your Full Order of Protection, you can ask for child support for any mutual children, custody, visitation, maintenance, payment for medical bills, and payment for the mortgage, vehicles, and any property that is immediately necessary for you to function in your daily life. You can also ask that the abuser complete any necessary counseling or rehabilitative programs before he or she is able to have contact with any mutual children. However, if the Order of Protection is sought as the first step to obtaining a divorce, many of these programs will be determined by a court at a later date.
What happens at the hearing?
At the hearing, the judge will call your case and the parties will walk to the front of the courtroom. You, as the petitioner, will put on your evidence first. This generally occurs after the judge swears you in. Next, you can make a statement and explain your side of the case. This would be the time that you could present pictures or call witnesses. Then the Respondent (the other side) will have the opportunity to cross-examine you and/or your witnesses. This means the Respondent will get the chance to ask you questions about your testimony in front of the judge. After cross-examination, you can clarify anything that the Respondent may have misstated or you disagree on. Next, the Respondent will put on his or her evidence, if they have any, and the exact same process will take place in reverse. Judges may allow the both parties to ask follow-up questions or give further testimony. Parties may be given an opportunity to make a closing statement after all of the evidence has been presented and the judge will make a decision.
When should I ask for a continuance?
You should ask for a continuance if the Respondent has not been served yet, if you have not had time to find an attorney and you would like to, if you wish to amend your petition and the Respondent has not had adequate time to review the amended petition, or if |
situation stems from the weak demand as most distributors elected to maintain prices during this past week despite the clear upward pressure coming from both OPC’s and the Middle Eastern producers’ higher prices. However, at the end of last week, some buyers reported increasing operating rates while some mentioned running their plants at full capacity. These converters were highlighting the fact that their end product demand has improved noticeably and they feel pleased with their current sales performance. One of the converters reported starting to purchase more than their needs in line with improving end product demand while another said that they were pleased with end demand and are running at full rates. One converter commented, “Our products are experiencing a noticeable improvement and accordingly we raised our operating rates.” The fact that the local prices have not yet been affected by the higher prices from producers has also helped to increase buy interest on the part of converters.

in green and red, And spake of Yule, the season nigh, And sentiments it doth imply. Conversed they long, though night was said. Dear Sir: Many people have asked me my feelings about the November 7 election. What concerns me most about that election, as it should concern all Minnesotans, is that Mr. Quie interjected reli-gious judgments into a political campaign for his own personal gain. 1. Quie volunteers leafleting cars (including ours) on church parking lots the Sunday before election with misrepresentations about my husband (keeping in mind that Mr. Quie announced his candidacy back in August 1977, yet he waited until the Sunday before to distribute the relgious ads—allowing no time for a reply). 2. On the night before election, newspaper ads on Quie's behalf asking for votes "for the great Christian for our next Governor" (is one to assume then that people practicing Judaism and other great faiths should be excluded as candidates for the governship?). 3. Thousands of letters mailed in the final days of the campaign with obvious religious overtones. 4. Inferences throughout that Quie is a Christian and Rudy is not, including Mr. Quie calling my husband "Crazy Rudy" and "Rubberstamp Rudy." Rudy has been an active Chris-tian since childhood. He doesn't believe in using religion as a political ploy. The standard Web-ster difinition of a Christian is, To the editor: Cold, three-day-old water plugs the sink. Pots and pans contain-ing anything from sticky macaroni and peanut butter remain piled high for "someone else" to do. These are typical conditions of kitchens in girls' dorms at Bethel. It's disturbing to me to see this type of filth in a Christian col-lege, and equally disturbing be- "Christian - having qualities demonstrated and taught by Jesus Christ, as love, kindness, humility—a decent, respectable person." My husband conducted a clean, honest campaign, based on the issues. Mr. Quie, in this cam-paign, carried a Bible in one hand and a bucket of mud in the other. Who then is the true Christian? Sincerely, Lola Perpich cause it involves girls. What kind of housekeepers are these girls going to be? Have we forgotten that "cleanliness is next to godli-ness?" What happened to our inte-grity? Boxes of cereal, milk, cheese and fruit "magically" dis-appear from refrigerators. It's one thing to share and have a community refrigerator, but an-other thing to improvise the idea that we share (steal) its contents. It is possible to remedy this disgusting situation if everyone participates to work toward a cleaner, safer, fresher-smelling kitchen in their dorm. Next time any of us girls in the dorms attempt to bake something and leave a mess, or decide to quiet our grumbling stomachs by "snitching Sally's pickles," I hope we will think twice about our actions. Don't forget we are Christians and are supposed to be living examples for others at all times. Thus, don't forget the golden rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Sincerely, Sandee Barton Christian confronted on practical living issue page two Saucy Lynn Faith poses for a portrait to send to "The World Who's Who of Women" publishers. Does Bethel mean sheltered people? monest goodness Non-clone defies syndrom, chews fingernails by Shelly Nielsen I didn't even know what a clone was until one was pointed out to me in the hall the other day. "It" smelled of Crest and wore a "Star Wars" T-shirt. "It" carried a half-eaten egg-salad sandwich and moaned something about getting only three hours of sleep. "It" was everywhere! We face a massive identity crisis. Bethel "groupies" especially are in danger of losing their individualism through an extremely popular, persistant, and rather boring picture of us maintained by "members of the outside." This Bethelite clone gets monthly crew cuts, conscien-tiously chews Sen-Sen, and clings religiously to a wardrobe similar to that of the '65 graduates' of Pillsbury college. However false this portrait may be, we yet are threatened with the possibility of blending - homo-genizing - into one uninteresting mass. Ask yourself, "What is it that distinguishes me from Joe Schmuck on the street?" If, like me, you must answer that it's nothing more impressive than your distant relation to Burl Ives, this expose is addressed to you! It's time to break out of this routine mold and become some-thing different, outrageous, and, if needs be, outcast. Fortunately, we have an ex-ample.

Nothing would have distin- Dear editor, I guess I'm bringing up a very volatile issue by criticizing the music department when ad-mittedly I am at best a rank amateur musician. However, it is for precisely this reason that I see this year's Festival of Christmas as a dangerous departure from traditional concerts sponsored by Bethel College. I do not speak of the content since I am in no position to judge. What bothers me is the music department's insistence on a pro-fessional presentation instead of allowing students to present our program. At first it did not seem like my place to criticize a department I'm guished the parcel from the sheaves of other unimportant documents but for the word "ur-gent" printed in block letters at the corners. L.M. Fauth ripped it open with trembling, hopeful fin-gers. Inside was a personal letter be-ginning: "Dear Biographee:" Now it seems that the editors of a volume called "The World Who's Who of Women" are clamoring for the personal bio-graphy of Dr. Lynn Fauth, till now, unobstrusive, only slightly radical professor in the English department at Bethel. Understandably, his first re-actions to the letter were not wholly positive. "I felt tacky and used," he stated, miffed at what he considered an objectionable attitude of "sexist publishers." However, further consideration of the opportunity to gee his photo appear in the fifth annual The W.W.W. of W. repealed pre-mature rashness. He plans to purchase his first edition of the $49.50 text (not including $4.50 postage) with the change he collects from beneath couch cush-ions at Doc's. Lynn, who describes himself as a "brainy blond" claims such sought-after talents as reading religious poetry cynically and teaching W.A.R. He also remains admirably modest and admits to some negative traits that may mar his standing among other nomi-nees. "I chew my fingernails," he reported, twisting a corner of his plaid shirt, "and I have a tenden-cy to interpret poems in a Freud-ian manner." He does feel that competition could pose a bit of difficulty, especially after the review com-mittee receives his picture. "Electrolysis hasn't been work-ing," he admitted bluntly.

When activities intended to promote the school are scheduled for the benefit of the students and friends of the school, should the students be allowed to be the main participants or should we "import?" My opinion is that profession-als are nice, but many of our friends can do almost as good a job and can certainly praise God as well as any more experienced artists. Even teachers, as close as they may be to the students, have no right to exempt the students We see the sort of problems Lynn Fauth, and every coura-geous soul like him, must endure in order to nobly express his individuality. Here is a man not afraid to brave opposition, ridicule, and the especially cruel jeers of his departmental associates. One surly, sarcastic fellow wanted to know whether Lynn's blush was natural. This type of intolerance indi-cates the hum-drum existence Dear editor: Over a piece of Mam Rosa's pepperoni pizza, Josephy Theo-dore Maltese expressed to me his impressions of Bethel College.

than enough to feed a hungry pregnant lady, and I found myself with major food envy as I eyed up the Confit turkey leg (£16) that wouldn’t have looked out of place in Fred Flintstone’s mitts.
(Fortunately, hungry pregnant ladies can’t necessarily eat as much as hungry non-pregnant ladies, so she let me finish it. It was sensational).
We shared the decent-sized portion of caramelised onion bread with yoghurt and dill butter (£2.80), which was really good but could have been more oniony.
My second visit was for Saturday brunch. The Village Breakfast (two eggs, a free-range pork sausage, streaky bacon, field mushroom, slow-roast tomato and toast, £10.50) was good – the sausage was juicy and really tasty – but the experience was slightly dampened by watching my own plate sit on the side for several minutes in the not-particularly-busy restaurant before a waitress finally brought it over. The poached eggs were luke-warm as a result.
I was also a bit disappointed by my smoothie, which was supposed to contain banana and maple syrup but tasted fairly bland and wasn’t a patch on a Leon smoothie.
There were no complaints from my friend about her eggs florentine (£9), which came with Hollandaise on the side, as requested. The Shoreditch-blend coffee was great.
We didn’t quite have room for dessert, which was a shame because the brunch pudding menu is amazing: Banana, rum and ginger cake (£2.50)? Buttermilk pancakes (£7)? Blueberry cheesecake sunday (£7)? Next time I think I’ll go along just for the cake.
A week later, I went back for Saturday-night dinner and this time ordered the Chateaubriand for two (with baked onion, confit tomato, watercress, field mushroom, garlic butter, beef gravy, bearnaise or peppercorn sauce, £48 for two).
Apart from being a tiny bit on the luke-warm side (probably because it was sliced before it got to our table), the beef was juicy and tasty. The accompaniments weren’t overly generous – we had to slice the field mushroom in half to share it – but the whole course was just about enough.
The cocktails – we had the Orient Express (£8) and the Forager’s Sour (£8.50) were reasonably priced but nothing special. There’s also a decently priced and fairly extensive wine menu with a great selection of reds. We just about had room for pudding but decided against it as there was nothing overly tempting.
I really wanted to love this place, and in many ways I do love the interior, the menu and the fabulously cheery American waitress, but the food just wasn’t as good as I’d expected. I’ll definitely go back and give it another try though.

This should give you a nice, mid-level strength intensity that’s suitable for most.
As you probably noticed on the chart we included above, there are multiple ways to measure how much coffee or water you need for a brew.
Just so you know, if you click on a product on RoastyCoffee.com and decide to buy it, we may earn a small commission. If you have 1g of coffee and 1g of water, the ratio of coffee to water is 1:1. For 10 cups of coffee, you need 20 tablespoons or 150 grams of coffee. The lesson?
They will brew their coffee with a fairly small amount of water to get the intensity, and then to avoid the heavy mouthfeel, they will proceed to dilute it with water, this is an uncommon technique, but those who practice it, swear by it.
At home, she starts with a 1:16 ratio; her go-to recipe to make coffee for two is 50 grams of coffee to 800 grams of water. So I grabbed my handy tablespoon and my coffee scale to see just how many grams of coffee you get from a tablespoon. You can learn the fine art in more detail with our complete guide to brewing the perfect cup. Pounds You’ll notice that pros talk about the amount of coffee in grams, rather than tablespoons or scoops. For a stronger cup, use 0.53 ounces of coffee. It is important to know what brew ratio to use for what kind of coffee that you are making. A good place to start your pour over journey is with a 1:17 coffee to water ratio. There is a balanced in-between, and most coffee … Mr. Coffee Cafe Barista Review: Entry-Level Espresso Machine, Zojirushi Review: Travel Mug That Keeps Coffee TOO hot, Nigerian Coffee: Battling The Instant Coffee Culture.

Pro Tip: You can use the water amount per serving guidelines above for these other brewing methods as well.
For some people, bypassing the brew altogether is the ideal means of bringing out all the subtle characteristics. It is not always easy because there are so many variables to take into consideration. Prop Stylist: Marina Malchin |||PHONE_NUMBER||| , Con Poulos A brew ratio is simply a guide to help you figure out how much water and coffee you should use for brewing. These guidelines are all fine and dandy, but what if you want a stronger or weaker brew?
However, if you haven’t yet been able to get your hands on a scale, you can use 1-2 tablespoons of coffee for every 6 ounces of water. Stay tuned to find out. So below, we have a handy break down of how you should be measuring your coffee for each of the most popular brewing methods.
cups for use in every day domestic and commercial use! For manual brews, weigh the water while pouring from a kettle. Fortunately, the nice coffee people over at The Black Bear Micro Roastery have made a chart for easy reference, showing you the right amount of water to use with your freshly-ground coffee. You’ll be able to appreciate all of those subtle notes that are written on your packet of coffee just like a professional barista would. The opposite of this would be an espresso, a more intense beverage that is only capable of displaying two or three main flavors but does it wonderfully.
Ounces Add your grounds to your drip brewer‘s filter and pour the water into the reservoir. In this case, the coffee-to-water ratio is 1:1. You will want to be able to perceive all of the individual nuances that led you to purchase that been in the first place. Another type of coffee that can help you go through the morning is instant coffee.

The fragrances, aromas, and flavors will all be accessible to you, should you get your brewing ratio right.
To use either ratio, determine how much brewed coffee you desire, in grams. Taking a tablespoon to mean 5-10g of coffee, this will make you 17-68 cups from a 12oz bag of ground, but probably somewhere between the two extremes is best. You will also find that using the exact same coffee and the exact same measurement with a different brewing method will completely change the taste.eval(ez_write_tag([[250,250],'coffeeinmyveins_com-leader-1','ezslot_5',152,'0','0'])); So many variables can be quite overwhelming, so here’s a quick reference for the kind of taste to expect: You can then use the coffee to water ratio to adjust. For 6 cups of coffee, you need 12 tablespoons or 90 grams of coffee. Arguably, the most important factor is the brew ratio.
An ideal ratio would be between 1:1 and 1:3. Want 10 cups of coffee? There is much more to it than that, though. “I recommend a more coarse grind, and brewing in a cold environment for 12 to 16 hours.".
For those of you who are looking to achieve a stronger, bolder brew with thick, heavy flavors, start with a 1:10 ratio. That is, you would need 21.875 g of coffee and 350 g of water to make a 350 g cup of coffee that had a coffee |
consider about your site first. Remember, that link development is impossible without content development, so first look to the costs of content marketing to get an accurate picture of what gaining high authority backlinks might cost you. Here are a couple questions you can ask to help determine what your costs of developing new links might be.
How active are your other marketing efforts?
We’ve found that more established sites, who are publishing content regularly often earn links naturally from other marketing efforts. An active site, that frequently gets talked about around the web might also have tons of unlinked brand opportunities to pursue making it a little easier (and less costly) to be mentioned by authority sources.
On the other hand, if you have a brand new site or one that doesn’t already hold authority, then you aren’t likely to see much natural link growth or attention from authority sources. In this case, link earning will likely cost more, as it will require content strategy and creation to really be successful.
How much of the effort will be done in house?
Link development requires a strategy, writers, editors, and SEOs. If you’ve already got a dream team like this in house, then you’re a step ahead in the game and your costs will often be lower. The more you can do in house, the less costly your link acquisition will be. There are quite a few steps to link earning, and the more heavy lifting you’re willing to do, the less you’ll have to pay an agency.
Link development includes:
- Strategy to determine what the best plan for acquiring links to your site will be.
- Research and competitor analysis to determine what content, if any, needs to be created or what pages need to be modified.
- Creation of link assets identified in your research and strategy.
- Manual outreach to increase the reach of your content.
If your brand is active in other marketing efforts, frequently talked about online, and you have the resources to bring at least some of the above steps in house then your link development costs will usually be lower.
Aren’t quite there yet? Our advice is to invest in content now, and build links later.
Expectation #3: “A link-development agency or company can build links without my involvement.”
We find that many view link development as a siloed effort from other marketing efforts that can be a “hands free” operation contracted out to an agency.
Reality:
While some link development strategies are very hands-off for the client, that isn’t always the case. The level of involvement needed from you really depends which tactics and strategies are identified in your link strategy.
SEO and content marketing agencies may be fantastic at identifying link development strategies and conducting manual outreach, but they likely won’t know your business like you do. Some things might require your help such as offering testimonials, interviews, or guest contributions from thought leaders at your company. These are really authentic ways to build links that we can’t do alone but we can definitely help facilitate!Testimonials, interviews, & quality guest contributions are authentic ways to acquire links. Click To Tweet
We get excited when our clients want to be more involved in link development efforts; it opens up whole new worlds of opportunity for us and allows us to be more creative when acquiring links and building out your strategy.
Expectation #4: “All links will equate to some monetary value.”
It makes sense that you might want to know the direct ROI of every link you build to your site. Understanding how you can measure success will be key in not feeling disappointed with your hard work.
Reality:
It’s hard to see direct monetary value or ROI from link-development because it shouldn’t be working in a silo. You’ll often have many things happening on your site along with link acquisition such as:
- Other SEO optimization efforts
- New content development
- Seasonality of your business (if this applies)
- Events/other marketing efforts
Instead of looking for monetary returns to your link building, look for site performance changes that could have been influenced by links. In the long run, these performance boosts will aid in monetary ways, but pin pointing “this link earned me x amount of dollars/leads” is not always possible.
Some metrics you might want to measure:
- Link growth to your site
- Referral traffic to new content, or targeted pages
- Overall lift in traffic or rankings from the time you began link development efforts
- Keyword rankings
Expectation #5: “Building new high quality links will fix all of my other SEO issues.”
Now that you know the importance of links, it’s easy to want to jump right into link acquisition and content creation. Take a step back to look at the overall SEO health of your site.
Reality:
The example above shows a company who was proactively creating content for 5 months, but not seeing the results that they should have been. Upon looking deeper into their traffic, you can see that there is a clear drop off where a manual Google penalty hit. Due to duplicate content, an unnatural backlink profile, and a few other common SEO issues, they weren’t able to see any results from all their efforts.
If you have other SEO issues with your site, spend time fixing them before focusing on link acquisition, or developing new content. You could be lighting your money on fire by choosing to ignoring SEO best practices and continuing on with your link acquisition or content marketing efforts.
Some of the most common SEO issues we find include:
- Unintentional duplicate content
- Slow page load speed
- Poor or duplicated HTML optimization (such as title tags, meta descriptions, and broken link)
- Poor optimization of images and videos.
- Unnatural backlinks consisting of over optimized, or irrelevant, anchor text, or links coming from “bad neighborhoods”.
- Not enough high quality authority backlinks.
- Thin content
- Not being mobile friendly
You’ll want to focus on fixing the above issues if they exist before diving heavily into link development or content development efforts.
Links are here to stay
The above might be a bold statement to some, but links are consistently an important ranking factor in Google’s algorithm. Put content first and focus on authentic, natural ways your business can be earning links. It isn’t a one size fits all model, and it will take strategy, time, effort and willingness to keep experimenting in order to be successful.Put content first & focus on authentic, natural ways your business can be earning links.

Tags: Link Building, Link Strategy<|endoftext|>Inspired by a desire to help victims of Japan’s deadly earthquake, a group of bloggers and writers have come together through the Internet to create a book of stories about the disaster.
The result, "Quakebook," is a moving collection of photos, memories and reflections about the massive tremor and monster tsunami that demonstrates the power of the web to unite people around the world in times of tragedy.
The project is the brainchild of a British man living in Japan who blogs under the name "Our Man in Abiko" on websites such as Twitter, where the project uses the hashtag #quakebook.
On March 18, a week after the tsunami hit Japan’s northeast coast, he sent a tweet saying: "I want to compile a book of quake experiences and publish it in a week and donate all profits to Red Cross. We have the technology.
"If everyone wrote 250 words — one page — or submitted their favorite (original) tweets, pics or artwork, I could edit, publish it in days," added the resident of Chiba Prefecture just east of Tokyo, who prefers to keep his identity secret to preserve the collaborative spirit of the project.
"I was having a shower thinking, here we are relatively unscathed and we’re doing nothing and it’s infuriating," he told AFP. "There’s a massive crisis on my doorstep and I couldn’t forgive myself if I didn’t do something to help."
Less than 45 minutes after his first tweet, he received the first contribution.
"That gave me a clue. I thought: I’m on to something here. I’ve hit a raw nerve," he said.
More than 200 people have been involved in the project, including volunteer editors and translators from as far afield as the United States and Ireland.
"The reason it works is because we all want to do something. It’s very therapeutic for people to tell their stories. They feel like they’ve been ignored or forgotten," its creator said.
"It’s been great. You realize you’re not alone. And that’s maybe even more valuable than anything else."
The project has received dozens of contributions from Japanese nationals; expatriates as well as people watching the tragedy unfold from overseas.
"I have been around Tokyo for 15 years and I feel I am needed here now more than ever. The decision whether to stay is the most complex one I have ever had to make in my life," wrote Tokyo resident Dan Castellano.
"Japan is my adopted home. I would not leave a burning house alone if my family were still inside," he said, according to excerpts on the project’s blog.
The 9.0-magnitude earthquake which crashed into Japan’s northeast coast at 2:46 pm on March 11 has now left more than 28,000 people dead or missing and triggered a nuclear emergency at the Fukushima power plant.
Hundreds of thousands more have been left homeless and are now |

a tight range around 0.27, and with its semimajor axis varying only a little. The spin–orbit interaction of GJ 581d with its host star is dominated by the tides exerted by the star on the planet. We model this interaction, assuming a terrestrial composition of the mantle. Besides the triaxiality-caused torque and the secular part of the tidal torque, which are conventionally included in the equation of motion, we also include the tidal torques’ oscillating components. It turns out that, depending on the mantle temperature, the planet gets trapped into the 2:1 or an even higher spin–orbit resonance. It is very improbable that the planet could have reached the 1:1 resonance. This improves the possibility of the planet being suitable for sustained life.<|endoftext|>Factors effecting the complications in the natural history of acute cholecystitis.
BACKGROUND/AIMS
Gangrenous cholecystitis, empyema, gallbladder perforation, and biliary peritonitis are severe complications of acute cholecystitis associated with increased morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate perioperative factors associated with complications of acute cholecystitis.
METHODOLOGY
Between January 1993 and October 2000, we performed cholecystectomy in 368 patients with acute cholecystitis. All perioperative data were collected on age, sex, medical history, symptoms, laboratory tests, ultrasound, operative and microbiological findings, morbidity and mortality.
RESULTS
There were 305 cases (83%) of acute uncomplicated cholecystitis, 26 (7.1%) of gangrenous cholecystitis, 23 (6.3%) of empyema of the gallbladder, 12 (3.3%) of gallblader perforation, and 2 (0.5%) emphysematous cholecystitis. Risk factors for complicated cholecystitis included male gender, advanced age, associated diseases, temperature above 38 degrees C, and white blood cell count on admission greater than 18,000. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was attempted on 36 patients (11.8%) with uncomplicated and seven patients (11.1%) with complicated acute cholecystitis. The conversion rate to open cholecystectomy was 19.4% for uncomplicated cases, 28.6% for complicated cases. There were no differences in operative complications between complicated and uncomplicated cases, however, length of hospital stay, postoperative morbidity and mortality were significantly higher in complicated cases.
CONCLUSIONS
Sex (male), advanced age, presence of associated disease, high temperature (> 38 degrees C) and leukocytosis are all remarkable risk factors inducing complications in acute cholecystitis. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be performed with success in uncomplicated cases.<|endoftext|>Delayed Onset of Nonthermal Melting in Single-Crystal Silicon Pumped with Hard X Rays.
In this work, we monitor the onset of nonthermal melting in single-crystal silicon by implementing an x-ray pump-x-ray probe scheme. Using the ultrashort pulses provided by the Linac Coherent Light Source (SLAC) and a custom-built split-and-delay line for hard x rays, we achieve the temporal resolution needed to detect the onset of the transition. Our data show no loss of long-range order up to 150±40 fs from photoabsorption, which we interpret as the time needed for the electronic system to equilibrate at or above the critical nonthermal melting temperature. Once such equilibration is reached, the loss of long-range atomic order proceeds inertially and is completed within 315±40 fs from photoabsorption.<|endoftext|>Recent Historiography of the First World War
Recent Historiography of the First World War Locating recent international historiography on the First World War within the long-term context, this article discusses above all the internationalisation of the topic and the trend towards transnational history. It asks why the war is almost entirely unknown in the history and memory of some states, while it has powerful symbolic value in others. Was the war a kind of «laboratory» for later radicalised practices, or was there even a continuity of total war from the First to the Second World War? Is the debate in historiography between «coercion» and «consent» now resolved? How we should understand the «culture of war» – as the product of totalising tendencies driven by ever more militarised states, or of a process of popular self-mobilisation from below? Is the cultural history of war now the new orthodoxy?<|endoftext|>Mass Determination of Black Holes from Gravitational Wave Data Using Neural Networks
Gravitational waves were predicted by Albert Einstein more than a century ago, but only in 2015, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) was able to detect them. The gravitational wave phenomenon can be compared to spreading water from a lake after a stone has been thrown into it. Here, gravitational wave generation comes from an astronomical binary system formed by black holes or neutron stars. However, unlike the water, the amplitude of those gravitational waves is on a scale smaller than a proton’s size. Despite this, we can describe it with simple equations in a phenomenological way. We can model those waves on a regular computer using post Newtonian physics. Here we were able to generate gravitational waves from computational simulations and make its data analyze. When a gravitational wave is detected in the real-world problem, there is a great interest in establishing the physical features of the astronomical bodies involved in the process. In this way, we propose applying a simple neural network to receive the gravitational wave data and infer information about the astronomical bodies’ mass. The experimental results show that a simple neural network can extract mass information from the gravitational wave data. The recognition process proposed is much more straightforward than the complex computation based on numerical relativity for gravitational wave data analysis.<|endoftext|>Ellwood City is located at 40°51′40″N 80°17′05″W / 40.860983°N 80.284849°W / 40.860983; -80.284849 (40.860983, -80.284849).

Elwood City is a fictional city in the TV show Arthur. The population of the city was revealed in episode 72 as 79,567.
Elwood City was founded in 1903 by Jacob Katzenellenbogan. He had originally intended the town to be called "Elmwood" but someone misspelled it and the corrupted name stuck. U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt was present at the founding and gave the dedication speech and so were prominent American businessmen Henry Ford and J. P. Morgan, who were partners of Katzenellenbogan. In the episode "On This Spot", it was said that in 1885, Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, starring Buffalo Bill and Sitting Bull came through Elwood City on the banks of Mill Creek while on tour. In an episode called "Elwood City Turns 100!" in the year 2003 the city celebrated its 100th anniversary.
Elwood City is a large city that has a soda shop, a shopping mall, a movie theater, a science museum, a fire department with fire stations, a police department, a hospital, a city hall, doctors offices, a dump, a planetarium, numerous parks, forests, an animal shelter, a newspaper office, a bike shop, an ice cream shop, a fresh water lake, ponds and streams, a reservoir, a waterpark, a library, a bowling alley, many churches, a synagogue, a mosque, a pizza restaurant, a community theater, a soccer field, a car dealership (Crosswire Motors), a community garden, a veterinary office/hospital, a professional baseball stadium and team (Elwood City Grebes), a pet store (Al's Pet Shop), a glass shop, a YMCA, diners, a community pool, a recycling center, fast food restaurants (one being the chicken chain Chick'n Lick'n), industries, factories, warehouses, a joke shop (Jack's Joke Shop), a doll hospital, a drug store (Jim's Drug Store), beauty salons, barber shops, apartment complexes (the Westboro Apartments where Francine and her family are among the tenants), and many other houses and stores. Arthur and the Read Family live at 562 Main Street.

I have made this with whole deboned light skinned fish as well increasing the coating as needed based on fish size. No need to remove the heads! I always make our version gluten free using double the amount of white rice flour and half the amount sweet rice flour & tapioca starch, though it fries OK I can see it would work better with regular flour. Modified from Delights from the Garden of Eden by Nawal Nasrallah.
Mix spices in a ziplock bag or bowl and coat fish pieces.
Fry them in a 1/2 inch deep oil of choice, turning once until golden brown on both sides. While frying help keep pieces flat by pressing on them with a metal spatula. 5-10 minutes cooking time depending on fish thickness.

response. Bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) from Gab2-/- mice exhibited less FcϵR1-mediated degranulation in response to antigen. This resulted from decreased activation of phospholipase C-γ1, whose activity is required for Ca2+- and PKC-dependent degranulation. Expression of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) mRNAs was also decreased in Gab2-/- BMMCs. Anaphylactic shock responses were also diminished in Gab2-/- mice. These results indicate that Gab2 plays a role in the generation of allergic responses in mast cells. The authors found that the absence of Gab2 in BMMCs resulted in defective activation of PI3K (probably as a result of impaired recruitment of PI3K to Lyn and Syk), and weak activation of Akt and the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) p38 and JNK (Jun NH2-terminal kinase), which are important for stimulating cytokine expression. Thus, Gab2 appears to be essential for regulating proper FcϵR1-mediated mast cell degranulation and cytokine expression in the allergic response. H. Gu, K. Saito, L. D. Klaman, J. Shen, T.

Abstract The esthetic success of sagittal synostosis reconstruction is measured by cephalic index (CI). This limited measure does not fully account for the abnormal head shape in sagittal synostosis. In this retrospective study, we investigate a new objective measure, point of maximum width (PMW) of the skull from a vertex view, to determine where the head is widest for children with sagittal synostosis as compared with normal controls. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) scans of 27 children with sagittal synostosis and 14 postoperative CT scans at least 8 months after surgery were obtained. Normal CT scans were matched for age, sex, and race. Three-dimensional renderings were standardized for orientation. Mean (SE) PMW in patients with sagittal synostosis was 53% (1%) compared with 57% (1%) in controls (P < 0.001). Mean (SE) CI in patients with sagittal synostosis was 66.8% (0.8%) compared with 83.3% (1.0%) in controls (P < 0.001). The correlation between PMW and CI was weak in both controls (r 2 = 0.002, P = 0.824) and uncorrected cases (r 2 = 0.083, P = 0.145). After surgical correction, both CI and PMW significantly improved. Mean (SE) PMW in patients after surgical release of sagittal synostosis was 58% (1%) compared with 58% (1%) in controls (P = 0.986). The PMW is not a surrogate for CI but is a novel, valid measure of skull shape, which aids in quantifying the widest region of the skull. It is significantly more anterior in children with sagittal synostosis and exhibits a consistent posterior shift along the cranium after surgery, showing no difference compared with healthy children.<|endoftext|>[The influence of heparin on histamine level in plasma during the early reaction phase of asthma].
Heparin, well known anticoagulant, can also modulate inflammatory and immunologic processes. Some investigators suggest that heparin inhibits mast cell degranulation. Mast cells play very important role in early phase of asthmatic reaction, releasing many proinflammatory mediators including histamine. The purpose of study was to determine the effect of heparin on early asthmatic response and on histamine level in plasma after allergen challenge. Eleven patients with mild and moderate asthma were studied in a double blind placebo controlled manner. Sodium heparin or placebo were taken via nebulizer, and 15 minutes later allergen challenge (Dpt./grass pollen) was performed. FEV1 was measured at 5, 15, 30 and 60 minutes after challenge and PC20 for allergen was calculated. Peripheral blood was collected before and 30 minutes after challenge to assess histamine concentration in plasma by an immunoenzymatic assay. We observed that heparin significantly decreased early asthmatic response in all patients. After challenge with the same concentration of allergen FEV1 fell 36% for placebo and 8% for heparin. Heparin also prevented rise in histamine level in plasma after allergen challenge. The concentration of histamine before and after challenge were respectively 9.55 +/- 4.08 and 13.06 +/- 3.86 nM for placebo (p < 0.05) and 8.88 +/- 1.50 and 11.18 +/- 1.84 nM for heparin (p > 0.05). There was no correlation between FEV1 and histamine level before and after challenge. Our results suggest that heparin diminishes allergen induced early phase of asthmatic recreation by inhibition of mast cells degranulation.<|endoftext|>REED CITY — Troy Giese can’t wait to get the soccer season started.
The Reed City senior and his teammates report for official practices on Wednesdays. The first game is Aug. 22 at Tri County.
It’s the third varsity season for Giese who played goalkeeper.
“My previous year was anywhere that coach put me,” Giese said.
Last fall was a building season for the Coyotes who needed several matches to get things going.
“I think things went pretty good, considering the fact we had a young defense,” Giese said.
He plans on being at goalkeeper again this season.
But coming into the 2014 campaign, Giese worked on his game extensively.
The Coyotes will be on the road their first five matches. They are home for the first time Sept. 10 with Kent City.
Giese indicated he’s better at kicking the ball and he’s talking more.
The open fields ended last week for Reed City.
“These have been real helpful, being able to see the new talent we have and watching them play and seeing what they do,” Giese said.
The Coyotes have a new coaching staff, led by head skipper Betty Kichak.
“I think we’ll be all-around because we have good defense we had last year and we have a couple of new strikers we can use,” he said.
Giese is in other sports including wrestling and track but points to soccer, which he’s played since seventh grade, as his favorite sport.
“It’s fun to meet new people every year and being able to work with them,” he said.<|endoftext|>Vascular reactivity to norepinephrine of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene-induced rat mammary tumors and normal tissue as studied in vitro.
Vascular reactivity to norepinephrine has been studied in dimethyl-benz(a)anthracene-induced rat mammary neoplasia and compared with that of skeletal muscle, salivary gland, kidney, and uterus by means of an artificial perfusion technique. Perfusion of tissues and organs was measured with the microsphere tracer technique during smooth muscle relaxation and infusion of norepinephrine at two different dose levels. This procedure makes possible a dose-response analysis of several tissues under controlled conditions without confounding endogenous vasoregulation. The tumor vascular bed has a low perfusion capacity during smooth muscle relaxation and responds rapidly with an increased resistance to norepinephrine infusion. The results indicate a hypersensitivity, although the relative maximal constrictor response is equal to or less than that of other vascular beds studied.<|endoftext|>Teaching of Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System Among Obstetrics/Gynecology and Urology Residents in the United States
Objectives The objective of this study was to compare the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POPQ) system teaching practices among obstetrics/gynecology (ob/gyn) and urology residents in the United States. Methods Anonymous Web-based survey was e-mailed to the residency program directors/coordinators of all urology and ob/gyn programs in the United States with a request to forward it to all their residents. Fisher exact and z tests for proportions and multivariate regression analysis examining factors associated with POPQ system use were used in the statistical analysis. Results Sixty percent (45/75) of urology and 78.9% (105/133) of responding ob/gyn residents (P = 0.006) reported having used the POPQ system, whereas 42.7% and 59.4% of them, respectively, reported current use (P = 0.03). The latter also reported more protected educational time (P < 0.001), more urogynecologists in their programs (P = 0.032), and learning more frequently from drawings (P = 0.025). Opinions about the routine clinical and scientific usefulness of POPQ system and the perceived difficulty in learning it did not vary between groups. After performing multivariate logistic regression analysis, the presence of a fellowship, the number of subspecialists in the program, and the number of POPQ system teaching sessions were the studied variables found to contribute independently to the residents’ use of that system. Conclusions Obstetrics/gynecology residents use POPQ system more frequently than do urology residents. This could be related to differences in teaching practices between urology and ob/gyn programs.<|endoftext|>Citation Example: Perestyuk N. A., Slyusarchuk V. Yu. Green–Samoilenko |
-1 ligand (PD-1L), and cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte-antigen-4 (CTLA-4) are revolutionizing the treatment of many previously difficult to treat cancers such as metastatic melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, and kidney cancer. Clinical trials using ICIs are underway in many other types of malignancies. ICIs are also approved now for use as adjuvant therapy, in patients with resectable melanoma at earlier localized stages.

Tetrad IV is a program designed for the specification of causal models. It is specifically designed to search for causal relations, but also offers the possibility to estimate the parameters of a structural equation model. It offers a remarkable graphical user interface, which facilitates building, evaluating, and searching for causal models. The search algorithms make it possible to find alternatives for existing models, as well as to find new models when a theoretical directive is lacking. This is illustrated by the detection of a causal model for longitudinal data, which is a viable alternative for a latent growth model.<|endoftext|>Investigation into Enhancing Capecitabine Efficacy in Colorectal Cancer by Inhibiting Focal Adhesion Kinase Signaling
Background/Aim: Capecitabine is a pro-drug of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and is an orally available chemotherapeutic used to treat colorectal cancer (CRC). Recently, research has focused on improving its efficacy at lower doses in order to minimize its well-known toxicities. In this study, we investigated the possibility of improving the antitumor effect of capecitabine against CRC by destabilizing focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signaling. Materials and Methods: Optimal dosages for capecitabine and lactate calcium salt (LCS) were determined using the 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide MTT assay. The viability of CRC cells was investigated by MTT and clonogenic assays after single or combination treatment with capecitabine and LCS. Western blot analyses were used to determine changes in the expression of components of the FAK and AKT signaling cascade, and this information was used to elucidate the underlying mechanism. A xenograft model was established to evaluate the antitumor efficacy of the combination treatment, as well as its necrotic effect and organ toxicity. Results: The addition of LCS to capecitabine treatment led to an increase in the proteolysis of the FAK signaling cascade components, including SRC proto-oncogene, non-receptor tyrosine kinase; AKT serine/threonine kinase 1; and nuclear factor-kappa B, resulting in a decrease in the viability and clonogenic ability of CRC cells. In vivo antitumor efficacy, including tumor necrosis, was significantly increased with the combination treatment relative to both single treatments, and no organ toxicity was found in any experimental group. Conclusion: The addition of LCS increased the anticancer efficacy of capecitabine at a lower dose than is currently used in human patients.<|endoftext|>Concurrent validity and reliability of clinical evaluation of the single leg squat
This study determined reliability and concurrent validity of measurements of the single leg squat made by novice examiners. Twelve video recordings of individuals performing a single leg squat were evaluated by six student physical therapists. Students assessed movement quality on an ordinal scale and manually measured frontal plane knee movement quantity on a video monitor. Inter- and intrarater reliability of ordinal scale ratings were determined via quadratically weighted kappa. Inter- and intrarater reliability of frontal plane knee measures were determined through intraclass correlation coefficient models 2,k and 3,k (k = 3 ratings), respectively. Concurrent validity of frontal plane knee measures was examined by comparison with Vicon-Peak motion-tracking system measures via Bland-Altman scatterplots. Ordinal scale measures displayed intrarater reliability ranging from 0.38 to 0.94 and interrater reliability of 0.68 (0.46–0.87). Intrarater reliability of frontal plane knee measures ranged from 0.88 to 0.98 and interrater reliability of 0.99 (0.97–1.00). Difference scores between student and computer-generated measures of frontal plane knee movement were significantly different as determined through Bland-Altman scatterplots and calculation of the upper and lower limits of agreement.<|endoftext|>Simultaneous quality improvement of tunneling-and interpoly-oxides of nonvolatile memory devices by NH/sub 3/ and N/sub 2/O nitridation
In this paper, we found the nitridation on the interpoly-oxide with NH/sub 3/ and N/sub 2/O processes can simultaneously improve the quality of both tunneling oxide and interpoly-oxide. Three types of poly-Si for floating gate are investigated. We found in-situ doped poly-Si shows the best performance in terms of breakdown filed, charge to breakdown (Q/sub BD/) and trapping rate. The Q/sub BD/ of interpoly-oxide can be reached as high as 35 C/cm/sup 2/. This scheme is very promising for nonvolatile memory devices.<|endoftext|>Renewable Energy System Design by Artificial Neural Network Simulation Approach
An alternative approach for optimization of renewable energy systems using artificial neural network (ANN) models and simulation is applied for standalone wind energy and photovoltaic cell. Feed forward back propagation (FFBP) and radial basis functions (RBF) are considered. Large training data are obtained by simulations in Homer software package. Several input parameters and two output parameters (number of units and cost of energy) are considered for performance analysis of the ANN network models. Irrespective of the input parameters, FFBF model fails to yield results that match with target values both for WT and PVC systems. The R-square values are observed to be scattered and lie in the range of 35 to 90 percent. On the other hand, RBF model output with the same model training data consistently matches with Homer simulation output for all input conditions. The correlation coefficients as measured by R-square are well above 95 percent in all cases. In another words, very good generalizations of the input parameters are observed for RBF model.<|endoftext|>Error Detection Technique for a Median Filter
: In picture legal sciences, recognition of picture imitations including non-direct controls have gotten a lot of interest in late past. Middle separating (MF) is one such non-straight control procedure which is regularly utilized in number of uses, for example, to conceal drive commotions. Notwithstanding, a SRAM-based processor execution of this channel is then defenseless to arrangement memory cycle flips actuated by memory defects, so a security strategy is required for basic process in which the appropriate channel activity should be guaranteed. A grouping for their portrayal is presented. To produce a test calculation for recognition of the relative multitude of considered issues, it was shown that it's anything but a simple issue. For this reason, another design situated walk calculation technique is created. an issue lenient execution of the middle channel is introduced and considered inside and out. Our security strategy checks assuming the middle result is inside a powerful reach made with the excess non-middle results. A result mistake signal is enacted on the off chance that a defiled picture pixel is distinguished, an incomplete or finish reconfiguration can be processed to eliminate the error. The proposed error recovery technique coded in Verilog and verified using simulator.<|endoftext|>Matt Harris is Commissioning Editor for AvBuyer. He is an experienced General and Business Aviation journalist...
Towards the end of Summer 2019, F/LIST received a call from a prospective customer who was looking to buy a pre-owned Embraer Legacy 500. The customer wanted to discuss the cost of a refurbishment. Here's the story that ensued...
Having previously owned several smaller aircraft, this acquisition represented his first foray into Mid-Size Jet ownership. After initial discussions over budget and some of the potential complexities of a larger cabin refurbishment, the customer identified the specific aircraft he wanted, and the planning process began.
The customer visited F/LIST’s Austrian headquarters to select materials and discuss his specific needs, and in this instance it was important that they had an interior that completely matched their taste and style. Although a business-owner, the jet had been purchased primarily for their own private travel.
Fortunately for the client, he had chosen a well-qualified center. F/LIST knew the aircraft well having built the cabinets and flooring for that same jet when it was new in 2015 (as it does for all Legacy 500s rolling off the Embraer production line).
At one point during the planning process, the client wasn’t keen on the shade of the wood sapele on his newly acquired aircraft, though he liked the texture.
Instead of removing the materials and starting from scratch, F/LIST prepared three different samples with different depths of the same shade. From those, the client selected the one they liked helping ensure it was only necessary to remove the varnish from the existing wood, stain it to the appropriate color, and re-varnish with a high gloss.
With the Legacy 500 still being quite a new aircraft, this project also represented the first time the company had been asked to refurbish one.
“It is always special for us when we can be part of an aircraft’s life cycle more than once,” Schröcker added. If the results of this project are anything to go by, it is unlikely to be the only Legacy 500 the company becomes reacquainted with.
Boarding the aircraft passengers find themselves in the entryway/galley area, and step on to a real granite stone floor with a brushed finish (more on this later). Samples of the re-stained, high gloss wood cabinetry lay directly ahead in the gal |
