man awaiting her, no words exchanged when she reached him. Strapping her arms around him, she probed his mouth with her tongue and groped his privates. Wild drumming continued as he tore open her robe, ripped off her starched head cover, and tossed them to the ground.
She stood before him in only a knee-length mantle of beaded seashells that did little to hide her athletic body. Blond hair tumbled to her waist. The fake sister had something else hidden beneath her robe.
Backing away from him, she grasped a black rooster by its neck in one hand, an opened bottle of Jamaican rum in the other. The rooster, sedated by strong rum poured down its throat, was alive, though not for long. Gaylon watched as she twisted the head off the bird, tossing its lifeless body to the ground.
The headless rooster ran in circles until it finally dropped, blood gushing from its neck. When it did, she grabbed its pulsating body and held it, along with the bottle, over her head. Warm blood and strong alcohol poured down her face, mixing with beads of sweat on her bare neck and breasts.
Drawing ever closer to Gaylon, she began dancing the wild bamboula, her sultry moves daring him to join her. The percussive melody pervading the park had become more frantic as if feeding on the strength of the two dancers. Her beaded wrap glistened with sweat and blood as the drumming reached a crescendo. When it did, she stopped dancing.
He was no longer Gaylon LeBlanc when he arose from the ground. He was now Baron Samedi as the voodoo deity had taken possession of his body.
The woman began dancing again, her gestures sexual and overt. Baron Samedi finally reclined her on the cold stone and began humping her in a ritual manner. At the climax of the wild, yet simulated performance, a man burst from the shadows.
He was huge, his crooked smile imparting a fierce look in light reflecting from the full moon. Moving away from Baron Samedi, she danced toward the man with unkempt hair, and then blew something up his nose. The inhaled powder caused an instant change to his persona. A smile replaced his scowl as she tore open the front of his shirt and clawed deep scratch marks down his chest with her long fingernails. Voodoo drums continued as she stood on her tiptoes, accosting him with her lips.
This is the night you’ve waited for, my handsome lover. The great Ghede himself has sent Baron Samedi to assist you. Tonight, he will help you revenge yourself on the person that has wronged you.
She turned when Baron Samedi spoke. You are not yet done. You have one more thing to do before satisfying my needs.
Prostrating herself, she crawled toward Baron Samedi and licked his shoes with her tongue.
I pray you will return him to my bed, she said.
Baron Samedi dusted his tuxedo, reached into his pocket and removed a frightful object, showing it to her.
He will have his revenge, and I will have another nipple for my collection.
As Baron Samedi left Congo Square, a bus passed on the street, saturating humid air with the momentary odor of burning diesel. Before following him, the other man bent the woman over a park bench. This time, the sex wasn't simulated.
Go now, and return triumphant to my bed before the sun rises, she finally said.
The drums had gone silent as the man followed Baron Samedi out of the square and vanished into the night.
Nearby, a dog howled at the moon, its mournful sound melding with the screech of brakes on N. Rampart. As a tugboat sounded its whistle, dark clouds shrouded the moon. They masked the man as he left the nun alone in Congo Square and followed Baron Samedi down Rue St. Peter.
Torrential rains had moved in from the North, cooling afternoon heat twelve degrees in less than fifteen minutes. As I sat in Bertram Picou’s bar, on Chartres Street in the French Quarter, shucking oysters from a pile of seafood laid out on paper spread across a table in back, I could still see the headline through the oily stains: Strangler claims victim near Lee Circle.
The headline didn’t surprise me. The Big Easy is a violent city, a fact usually hidden from tourists, again visiting after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. This murder had touched me personally because the victim was my high school English teacher.
Something, maybe the bottle or perhaps hundreds of unmotivated students, had driven Sally to madness. She had disappeared for a while, finally surfacing on St. Charles Avenue, pushing a grocery cart she’d stolen from a nearby grocery store. No one seemed to care. Rain gusted through the door, freeing my thoughts from the disturbing murder of Miss Sally Gerant.
The drop in temperature provided a welcome respite to Bertram’s overworked air conditioning—a bonus for the few lucky customers enjoying the fragrant mix of rain and spicy seafood. Junior Picou, Bertram’s brother, had taken his flat-bottomed skiff out at dawn, into the splay channels beyond Yscloskey.
Junior had returned before noon with a wealth of shrimp, oysters, and redfish. What Bertram hadn’t used in his pot of gumbo, simmering in the kitchen, he’d boiled up and put on the table as complimentary appetizers for his customers to enjoy. Who said there was no such thing as a free lunch?
Despite the enticement, the bar remained virtually empty, except for a few mostly out-of-work regulars. Everyone, especially Bertram’s female customers, gawked when the front door opened, and a handsome, middle-aged man entered. After spotting me by the table, he smiled and walked toward me. An expensive raincoat draped his elbow. Despite afternoon humidity through the roof, he was still wearing his tweed sports coat, and had not bothered to loosen his tie.
That you, Wyatt Thomas? he said. Remember me, Beau Kaplan?
How could I have forgotten? Captain of the L.S.U. football team and student voted most likely to succeed. How could anyone forget handsome Beau Kaplan, big man on campus, and the one voted by everyone most likely to succeed? He needn’t have worried about his popularity as Bertram’s women regulars, and a table of local legal secretaries stared goggle-eyed at him from across the room. He palmed my hand with the secret fraternity handshake I’d almost forgotten.
How are you doing, Beau? Help yourself to some of Bertram’s grub.
Beau’s grin vanished. Ate already. Can we talk?
Sure. There’s a booth in back.
No, I mean somewhere else, like over in Jackson Square.
You bet, I said, taking one more bite of the shrimp poboy.
Not knowing why Beau had bothered looking me up after all these years, or for all the secrecy, I wiped hot sauce off my mouth with a bar rag and followed him out the door. We found the sidewalk almost deserted. Rain had moved south toward the Gulf. Dark clouds hung directly overhead, weighing heavily on already thick, humid air. Too hot for most tourists, the square was almost deserted. They were probably visiting the endless miles of air-conditioned shops that began where Canal Street intersects the Mississippi River. Most any place that had air conditioning. Only a white-faced mime and a few persistent portrait artists occupied the Square when we reached it.
I followed him through a wrought iron gate to a secluded park bench. His physical appearance had hardly changed since I’d seen him last. Just a touch of gray rimmed his full head of dark, wavy hair. He and his wife Kammi owned a mansion near Pontchartrain and many expensive toys. One of New Orleans’ leading neurosurgeons, he’d only added to his family’s impressive wealth. His trademark grin soon returned.
Seeing you again has really brought back memories.
I knew what he meant. My sudden recollection of Kammi had sent a wave of melancholy nostalgia cresting across my bow.
Those days at L.S.U. were the best of my life, he said. Remember the frat parties down by the river with the bonfires, barbecue, and kegs of ice cold beer? Those hot young things all loved you, Wyatt.
You kidding me, Beau? When it came to women, you were the pro. I’m just an amateur.
Kammi didn’t think so. She never gave me the time of day till you had that fight at the Old South Party. When you broke up, she gravitated to me. On the rebound, I guess.
Kammi and I were a number for a while. Now I couldn’t remember why we’d argued, but I hadn’t forgotten her large green eyes. Soon after breaking up with Kammi, I took a real job and moved out of the frat house. Sometime after that, I’d married Mimsy, my ex and had lost touch with the frat crowd.
As we talked, a half-grown yellow tabby with a stump for a tail appeared from under the park bench. After rubbing against my leg, he bounded into my lap.

BRUCE MORTON, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): If you're old enough to remember recessions, you've probably wondered about all those trillions of dollars the U.S. government says it will have in budget surpluses between now and 2010. Might it not be just so much pie-in-the-sky?
Well, two economists, Alan Auerbach (ph) at the University of California at Berkeley and William Gale (ph) of the Brookings Institution, have written a paper that says yes, it looks a lot like airborne pie to them.
The Congressional Budget Office assumes mandatory spending, Social Security interest on the national debt, federal pensions and so on will continue. The question is over what's called discretionary spending, everything else. The CBO has to believe what Congress says, that this spending will be frozen or maybe capped.
But wait, in 1999, discretionary spending was 6.3 percent of the gross domestic product. That's the lowest it's been since at least 1962 and freezing or capping would shrink it even more. Auerbach and Gale assume it will continue at 6 percent, given all the calls lately for increased defense spending, half the total, discretionary spending could even go up. They also assume Medicare funds will get the same hands-off treatment as the Social Security fund, something Al Gore recently proposed.
GORE: We will balance the budget every year and dedicate the budget surplus, first, to saving Social Security.
MORTON: Adding in that, plus some expected changes in tax laws, things already in place, Auerbach and Gale come up with a projected 10-year surplus of just $353 billion, nowhere near $1 trillion, let alone $3 trillion.
What does that mean? It would mean the country couldn't afford Gore's proposed half-trillion dollar tax cut, and George W. Bush's much more generous $1.3 trillion tax cut would put the U.S. a trillion dollars further into debt.
BUSH: The surplus is not the government's money. The surplus is the people's money.
MORTON: Then Auerbach and Gale looked beyond 2010, aging baby boomers and so on. What they see a long-term shortfall, in other words, a budget in the red. They freely admit forecasts can vary. They note that a small difference at the starting point can mushroom into a big difference 10 or 20 years down the road.
But things strongly suggest that official forecasts maybe at variance with reasonable expectation, Congress capping discretionary spending, say, and that more sensible projections show a small surplus in 2010, and deficits further down the road. Look, up there in the sky. Is that a pie?
I'm Bruce Morton.

In today’s modern world, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) play an ever-growing role in how women of all social classes and ethnicities live their lives. But for many women in developing countries around the globe, the lack of basic digital literacy—i.e. knowing how to operate a computer, send an email, connect with loved ones online—is stifling their personal growth and keeping them from reaching their full potential.
A Telecentre Woman may be a homemaker, a single mother, a working student, or even a retiree. But whatever her status in life is, she makes use of a telecentre in order to experience technology. Through the Telecentre Women: Digital Literacy Campaign, the telecentre woman stands to gain more. By learning how to use a computer to spur her growth as an individual, she is empowered to be all she can be, and be part of the knowledge society.
In 2011, Telecentre Women: Digital Literacy Campaign aims to make a lasting difference in the lives of these underserved women around the world by helping them achieve digital literacy.
This initiative by Telecentre.org promises to help less privileged women achieve much-needed skills and know-how in ICT—allowing them to explore the world with confidence, and join the global tech revolution.

STARKVILLE, Miss. (MSU Athletics) – Mississippi State broke open a tight game with a seven-run seventh inning to defeat Eastern Illinois 9-0 in front of 7,631 college baseball fans at Dudy Noble Field Sunday afternoon.
The 10th-ranked Bulldogs won all four games they played in the Diamond Classic presented by Polk’s Meat Products. MSU rallied past Michigan State Friday, defeated Eastern Illinois and Michigan State again Saturday, before posting its first shutout of the season in the three-day round-robin tournament finale.
With the victory, MSU (10-4) extended its win streak to six-straight games. The Bulldogs will close their season-opening 15-game home stand by hosting South Alabama at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at Dudy Noble Field. The Jaguars come to town fresh off a series victory at Arkansas over the weekend.
MSU freshman right-hander Dakota Hudson (1-1) earned his first career win as a Bulldog by scattering seven hits over 5.2 innings of work. Ross Mitchell entered and faced one batter to help protect Hudson’s 1-0 lead.
VIDEO: Dakota Hudson Postgame
“I thought we got a lot of Dakota today,” MSU head coach John Cohen said. “He seems really close to making a big jump and we noticed he threw a lot of fastball to the glove side, which is a huge key for him.
“We really defended the field well with double plays and had some running plays in the outfield too. In order to scatter 10 hits in a game you have to be fundamentally sound defensively.”
From there, Ben Bracewell, Vance Tatum and Zac Houston worked an inning apiece as the Bulldog bats found overdrive.
The Bulldogs started the scoring in the fourth inning when Derrick Armstrong ripped a one-out double to left center and later scored on an RBI-single by Seth Heck. The lead was pushed to 2-0 in the sixth inning when Cody Brown doubled, Heck again singled and a run came home on an error.

In the seventh inning, Jake Vickerson started things with a leadoff single. After a strikeout and walk, Brett Pirtle connected for an RBI-single. After a ground ball out, Armstrong ripped a two-run single. A walk to Demarcus Henderson followed with Jacob Robson stealing home on that play.
Run-scoring base hits by Heck, Cody Walker (a double) and Vickerson followed as the Bulldogs batted around for the first time in the tournament.
For the contest, MSU finished with 12 hits. Vickerson had his second three-hit game for the Bulldogs, while Heck had his first. Armstrong also had two hits and drove in two runs for the first time this season.

was on the hard ground. I didn’t feel anything at all for a while. My whole body just felt unbearably heavy, so I couldn’t even open my eyes. I couldn’t even swallow or breathe. I was losing consciousness and my surroundings gradually became dim.
“Then suddenly, as though shocked by something, my whole body jolted in a spasm. Amidst the pain and thirst that I couldn’t pinpoint, I opened my eyes involuntarily. I could see something flickering beyond my range of vision, with my eyes feeling like they were full of sand. I thought it was a light, but it wasn’t. It was bright, and big, and dim. It didn’t move and hung in the air. After I looked at it for a while, its form gradually became more clear. It was the moon.
“The world was upside down, maybe because my head was bent backwards. In that world, that moon was also hanging upside down. I tried to cough so that I could breathe, but I couldn’t move. Then I felt a chill. I was scared. I moved my lips but no words came out. Even though my eyes weren’t closed, everything was getting dark. In my fading consciousness, someone spoke to me.
This diary entry is part of BTS’s lead up to their new full album “Love Yourself: Tear” from their “Love Yourself” series. After releasing the mini album “Love Yourself: Her” in September, the group also recently released a short film entitled “Euphoria: Theme of Love Yourself: Wonder.” The video includes a solo song by Jungkook, and the storyline is also connected to their “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life” series.
“Love Yourself: Tear” will be released on May 18, and the album has already set a new record for stock pre-orders.
BTS will perform their new track for the first time on television worldwide at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas on May 20, where they’re nominated for the Top Social Artist Award after winning last year. They will also be embarking on a world tour later in the year, and have announced a first set of cities and dates.

While one-on-ones provide invaluable insights, they're only one piece of the puzzle. Pulse surveys fuel decision-making with qualitative and quantitative feedback.
Pulse surveys are a chance to collaborate with your staff, providing them a sense of ownership in the direction that your organization is headed.

Owners of popular cryptocurrencies will regularly see some free tokens show up in their wallet, assuming they have control over that wallet at all times. The Tron team, for example, recently completed a 30 million TRX airdrop to the Ethereum community.
The year 2018 will prove to be rather interesting for Tron if all things go according to plan. Earlier this year, the project launched its testnet to bring their technology to the masses. Although this is not the same as a live network for building real-world applications or conducting real transactions, it is still an important milestone in the history of this particular altcoin. Developments on this scale always generate a lot of initial interest.
Additionally, it seems the Tron token will undergo some interesting changes as well. With the mainnet launching pretty soon, Tron can move away from the Ethereum blockchain, which currently hosts its TRX token. More specifically, TRX was initially introduced as an ERC20 token, which allowed the team to create a convenient initial coin offering some time ago. It was never a permanent plan of action to remain part of the Ethereum network, though.
With the team preparing to ditch the Ethereum network in the future, the time was right to conduct an official airdrop. More specifically, a total of 30 million TRX were sent out to Ethereum holders with at least 1 ETH in their wallet at the time of the airdrop. As such, one would expect there to be more Tron holders by now, even though the tokens were distributed to ‘just’ 602,881 addresses.
Quick math shows that every eligible address received around 49.76 TRX, worth just under $4 at current prices. It was not the most profitable airdrop in the world of cryptocurrency, though distributing $1.7 million worth of TRX tokens to Ethereum users shouldn’t be overlooked or underestimated by any means.
Considering that TRX is still an ERC20 token at this stage, users will not have to undertake any special action to claim their tokens. Popular wallets which support ERC20 tokens should reflect the new balance automatically. For those users who do not use a compatible wallet, running the wallet address through Ethplorer should show the tokens associated with a given address. Claiming one’s tokens can be done through a compatible wallet or online solution such as MyEtherWallet.
By distributing the TRX tokens held by the Tron Foundation, this altcoin is entering the next stage of development. Getting altcoins into the hands of more people has never been easy, but airdrops like this one seemingly make it a lot easier. Whether or not Ethereum holders will keep these tokens or sell them on exchanges immediately remains to be seen.

Mohun Bagan will tackle Calcutta Customs Membership at four p.m., whereas City Membership will meet Kalighat Membership at Eight p.m. on an opening day.
Following an unprecedented interval of eight months devoid of any cricketing motion, a number of high Bengal gamers – together with Manoj Tiwary, Shreevats Goswami, Shahbaz Ahmed, Anustup Majumdar, Arnab Nandi, Mukesh Kumar, Akash Deep and Pradipta Pramanik – will likely be seen in motion together with some thrilling younger expertise.
However, a couple of gamers, together with distinguished names Abhimanyu Easwaran and Abhishek Raman, are prone to miss the entire event because of COVID-19 infections. They’ve been changed by stand-bys.
However, a nice mixture of youth and expertise in either side could produce some eager contests.
“We now have been ready patiently for the resumption of cricket. It’s good to start out with such a thrilling event,” stated Majumdar.
The event, which is being held forward of any Board of Management for Cricket in India (BCCI) home occasion within the nation and the 2021 Indian Premier League (IPL) mega public sale, will give the cricketers a superb platform to make their mark.

Protesters called for defunding the university police force, and funding more student programs.
Students occupied a portion of the street near 49th and Greenwood in the Kenwood neighborhood, outside the provost’s home. Students said they planned to stay until they get a public meeting addressing their concerns.
Hundreds of people, mostly students and young adults, marched around the university campus and surrounding neighborhoods.
They called on the school to disarm University of Chicago Police Department officers, disclose the department’s budget, reduce funding by 50%, and ultimately abolish the force by 2022.
They want the focus of school spending on the community and students, rather than UCPD.
“We are out here today to first and foremost demand that the University of Chicago defund and disband the UCPD,” student organizer Alicia Hurtado said.
Protesters were asked who would answer the call if someone is robbed or attacked on campus if the UCPD is disbanded.
“I think with that question the more important thing to look at is not who’s responding per se, because once the initial crime happens we’re not solving any of the underlying issues that are causing communities to hurt in the way that … causes specific people to harm others,” Hurtado said.
Protest organizers demanded funding stripped from UCPD be used to support students of color through cultural centers and other social and educational programs.
“UCPD doesn’t make me feel safe at all. What makes me feel safe is my sense of community that I’ve built here with other students of color, with other organizers, with other people I know who have my back and I have their back,” said student organizer Chioma Nwoye.
What are the next steps if their demands aren’t met?
“Honestly the more important question there is why aren’t our demands being met? Why do we have to keep doing this over and over again?” Nwoye said.
The university said the administration has undertaken transformative changes for UCPD over the past 10 years, and pledges to do more.
There were no reports of problems connected to Saturday’s protest.<|endoftext|>You have to be epub paediatric infected in equation to be this shapefile.

The fact that I, not the state, take full responsibility for the purchase of materials is a clearly a benefit of homeschooling. Paying for them myself means I get to pick them out and get exactly what I think the children need, not some educrat who sits in committee meetings all day who has never met my children. What is taught, is what is thought. I have no interest in the state dictating what my children think in order to save money on books and supplies.
And yes, we do give up a second-income but the the harmony of the home is disrupted when mothers are gone from their offspring - especially their young children - all day long. There's more to life than money and the loss of income is more than made up by the memories of our time learning together. It is the loss of time as a family, not a second-income, that can be detrimental.
The article then goes
"Another disadvantage to home schooling is the amount of time it drains from parents who perform the task. Many parents don’t realize the time constraints involved with teaching. Teaching can be emotionally and physically draining.If we're honest, parenting is emotionally and physically draining. It is a 24/7 job. But homeschooling gives me all 24 hours to commit to the task , not just the after-school hours, when they're tired and so am I. It is the public schools that inflict unnatural time constraints on parents (and children) not homeschooling and public school teachers who are parents have it the hardest of all. They devote the best hours of the day to other people's children then come home and deal with their own. Now that would tire me out real quick.
Just like teachers, parents need time to prepare lessons, plan activities, organize and keep the children on task. They must also learn how to balance their time while still being able to maintain the home. It’s not easy."<|endoftext|>Would you trust machine learning to make your recruitment decisions? Occupational psychologist Mark Abrahams shares his expertise and explains why we experience 'algorithm aversion'
In the world of recruitment, machine learning is going to create efficiency, it’s going to add value to the candidate experience and it’s going to help companies select the best people. But, we still prefer to trust human judgement over algorithms (algorithm aversion), it’s in our nature.
Nearly twenty years ago, online assessments arrived on the HR scene. At the time I had recently started work in occupational testing, where a key challenge was to champion this new way of hiring in the face of resistance from leaders.
What happens if people cheat? What if it doesn’t work? How will we ensure exam conditions? How can these tests possibly predict performance in a role? Despite these (often exaggerated) concerns, business efficiency took hold and companies started to adopt it.
We now face a similar challenge with machine learning.
What’s causing our algorithm aversion?
Plenty of academic papers (including this one in The Journal of Experimental Psychology) explain why. In our context it translates into concerns about:
- Machines making autonomous decisions about people’s careers
- People struggling to see why machine learning should be used over humans
- Machines depersonalising the recruitment experience or even replacing the recruiter
Here I’d like to demonstrate why there’s nothing to fear from machine-made decisions through answering some of the questions I hear when I’m talking about new developments like LaunchPad Predict, an application of machine learning that predicts right-fit hires.
1. Are algorithms just “our opinions embedded in code”?
No, as long as you build the model correctly.
Whether algorithms can learn ‘bad habits’ and inadvertently perpetuate discriminatory hiring is a common concern. Humans are inconsistent; recruiters’ decisions can be affected by unconscious bias, tiredness, stress and even hunger.
Any kind of bias can be stripped out of an algorithm.
We take a supervised learning approach with psychologists and data scientists working on a model that is built on what underpins good performance in a job (we call it construct validity) and not based on what recruiters say or do. This enables the model to predict which applicants are likely to be the best fit or poor fit for a role.
- 2. Is ‘algorithm aversion’ limiting the effectiveness of recruitment tech?
At the moment, yes it is. People are still apt to dismiss decisions made by a machine even when they are shown evidence, as this recent piece in The Quarterly Journal of Economics shows.
Charismatic CEOs “don’t like delegating critical business decisions to smart algorithms. Who wants clever code bossing them around?” and likewise, all humans like to think they make the right decisions and so getting people to use AI is a huge challenge. People tend to focus on the evidence which supports their own viewpoint, and ignore contradictory information, it’s in our nature.
Something that helps with this is an understanding of the reason for a decision, even if the user doesn’t understand the algorithm. At LaunchPad the system creates an output that explains the reason for a decision (why someone is, is not, or is possibly right-fit) to help build trust.
- 3. Does machine learning de-personalise the candidate experience?
It means recruiters have more time for right-fit candidates. It’s true that there is less human contact in the early stages, but candidates often want convenience: they want to be able to record their responses anytime and anywhere, they want speedy progression to the next stage.
There are benefits to candidates, for example removing bias from the hiring process, and candidates can ask for feedback or even a human review. If they wish, candidates can opt out of automated decision-making, this could be especially important for those with disabilities. And with the implementation of GDPR we need candidates’ consent to use machine learning to facilitate recruitment, so the process is very transparent.
The early adopters
Automation and machine learning are where the future of recruitment is heading. Organisations already recognise the efficiency, consistency and cost benefits. The challenge is helping people understand that they are improving decision-making too.

Yes we did stay up and yes we almost reached the play offs . However our fan had dropped to 10,000 and and play involving 3 passes inspired wild cheering ..
Sorry but today we saw in the first 15 minutes..... the future .
Today was Pulis trying to do something with a bunch of players he probably doesn't want after a week of training.
You can't judge anything yet.
Pulis, like most on here, has conceded this squad is "light".
The sending off and howler from Westwood are not his doing.
I doubt the likes of Jurgen Klopp could make turn this situation around quickly.
Judge his football and management of the team after 6 months.
Similar to when Monk was in charge, some people will post more when the team has lost.
Again we have changed at a bad time. What is Pulis to do with this lot?
I can’t remember a time where we had a half decent manager that was able to have a full preseason with a fully assembled decent squad.
This is our problem. We are scrapping around last minute with late signings or loans. Changing managers so they rarely have their own choice of squad.
Mismanagement at the top.
The most experienced man to take a look at this squad in year, Steve Bruce, said that it would take at least 4 transfer Windows to sort this squad out.
When Bruce left we let Monk tear apart everything that Bruce had started. Monk wanted to play a completely different style of play.
Now we have hit the reset button again and Pulis has inherited a team that I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t want. But how many transfer Windows will our fans afford him when most have written him off already?
How many times do we hit reset button before someone gets it right?
Type of football?
He's had one game.
75 minutes of which were played with ten men.
He said himself after the game they had been working all week on a 4-3-3 and trying to get in behind with pace and get players like Paterson and Bannan in the box but that it was all out of the window after the sending off.
Once Windass got red carded, all the preparation done in the run up to the game went out the window.
Hard to judge us going off what happened today.
Partly agree with that, Monk took things in a totally different direction with some extremely poor signings, however, we’ve just compounded the situation by continuing down that route. Yes Pulis is a safer pair of hands than Monk, but that doesn’t say a lot. We’ve just brought in another manager who doesn’t suit the bulk of the players we have. Why? However good some of us believe Pulis is, he won’t be able to do much until he gets enough players in to enable him to play a certain way. Surely it would have brought in a manager who would have the nucleus of a squad that could play the way he wanted.
Why keep making these about turns, meaning every new manager then requires 4 windows to get the team functioning.
Who knows what type of football we'll see?
If its long ball, like when he was in charge of Stoke, and it works to get us the points we need, then yes it'll be boring but it'll get the job done.
If its more on the ground, like when he was in charge of WBA, and that works, then it might be a bit more easy to watch, but again if it gets the job done then its all we need at the moment.
For me, its a case of beggers cant be choosers n all that at the minute, we need points to ensure safety, and as long as we're still in the championship next season, I couldn't give a shiny one!
I’m prepared to give a new manager a chance. Who’s to say Wildsmith wouldn’t have made a costly mistake and then folk would be shouting louder for Westwood.
The signs on here are that it could get toxic if things carry on like this. We think it’s bad now...
It's the clubs fault for employing them.
Another shibo thread.
Amazing how many people are backing Pulis and his negative, turgid football.

Feb.
Based on the successful launch of the Electro-Voice Gladiator in
2003, the company has introduced two Gladiator system packages. The
Gladiator Series features two models—the Gladiator 115 (15-inch,
two-way) and the Gladiator 118 (18-inch subwoofer)—that are
designed to withstand the rigorous demands of live sound, DJ and A/V
applications.
The G115 two-way includes the high-output EVS-15FR 15-inch woofer
and offers 60-degree by 40-degree controlled coverage, DH2010
compression driver for extended high frequency, high sensitivity (99
dB) and 400W continous/1,600W peak power rating.
The G118 sub includes the EVS-18S 18-inch woofer with high-power
four-layer voice coil, extended response to 32 Hz, built-in crossover
for use as a three-way system, 400W continous/1,600W peak power rating
and boosts low-frequency output to 134 dB.
Used together, the system allows one amplifier channel to drive the
sub’s built-in crossover that provides the full-range output; no
additional crossovers or amps are required. Originally matched to the
E-V Q66 amplifier—with up to 850W per channel—the company
has added the CP2200 Class-H Compact Precision Series Power Amplifier
to the Gladiator System..<|endoftext|>Films

And, like so many red-blooded American children of the era, I wanted to be just like him. Problem was, bicycle ramps weren't readily available then and I frequently had to settle for launching my bike off a strip of sloped curb along a neighbor's driveway. That provided me with approximately a three inch ramp and thus, very little room to actually jump over anything larger than my Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars.
My idolatry wasn't limited to just wanting to perform stunts like Evel Knievel with my little bicycle. I desperately wanted an Evel Knievel action figure and all the accompanying accessories so I could create my own daredevil stunts (My G.I. Joes just weren't made for reckless stunts. That they were better armed and, with their Kung Fu Grip, could kill an Evel Knievel figure with their bare hands was of little consolation to me). And I just knew, if I had that Evel Knievel bicycle, I'd be able to soar across the sky over 15 busses even if I didn't have a proper ramp. Finally, I spent countless Saturday afternoons glued to ABC's Wide World of Sports (which was pretty much one's prime source for sports in the era of only three TV networks), breathlessly waiting for those few minutes featuring Knievel's jumps which, of course, always came at the end of the show.
All this nostalgia came rushing back to me recently when I read Leigh Montville's riveting biography of Evel Knievel, entitled Evel: The High-Flying Life of Evel Knievel: American Showman, Daredevil, and Legend. In it, Montville argues that Evel Knievel was America's first reality TV star, offering real live blood, guts, life, death, and human frailty, served up in dens across the country, in living color. His skill as a carnival huckster on the grand stage only added to the Knievel legend and gave birth to what I call "Daredevil Marketing."
When he rose to fame, Evel Knievel was doing the same thing hundreds of guys had been doing for years at carnivals and state fairs across the country. The difference was, Knievel thought bigger. Rather than jump a pool of water, Knievel would jump boxes of snakes or a cage full of tigers (it wasn't until later in his career, and well before it entered pop culture vernacular for another reason, but Knievel also jumped the sharks!). When he started jumping over cars, his audience and popularity rose with each vehicle he added to the line. When he finally hit the big time, hustling a jump over the fountains at Ceasar's Palace and selling the rights to televise it to ABC, his leap came up short and he was almost killed. The failure made him a superstar.
Another element of Knievel's marketing success was that he positioned himself as an outsider. In his televised spiels, he would often say "They told me I couldn't do it" or "I'm gonna prove them wrong." That pitch and attitude of doing what "they" said couldn't be done connected with the anti-establishment vibe of the 1970's and turned Knievel into the rebel all of America could root for.
Finally, Knievel gave people what they wanted by legitimizing America's bloodlust. By both embracing and selling the fact that he might crash, Knievel touched a nerve with anyone and everyone who secretly watched auto racing just |

I can't imagine the Iowa temperatures, yesterday, helping this corn crop? Here's what I drove by around 3pm.
It's just not only Iowa that is hot.............
Yesterday I drove from my house south to Luverne and then back up on 69 towards swea City (turned around by Senneca) over to bancroft and then back down to home in Wesley. There was NO corn curled up at 7 PM. the beans looked great. got a lot of DEW last night and even a few sprinkles this morning. In fact up around Bancroft they have had to much water.
Marketeye,pop the radar up over NIA and I don't think the temp got over a 100 either.
There was a whole bunch of corn last year that didn't roll very much, yet where did we end up......I am always amazed at the lack of agronomic knowledge some have.......and they scratch their heads come fall when it fell on its face.....
The "garden spot" is being watered again. Good for them folks.
It may be green on the radar but it's not raining. Might be a sprinkle in that but that's about it. Not hurting as much as others but still living from rain to rain. Corn was starting to go backwards on the lighter soils yesterday. If no rain this weekend (30% chances at best) and the heat cranks up again next week things will start hurting.
This shot of the temp came from NW of Stockton or SW of Phillipsberg, Ks yesterday afternoon . The local radio station here said this morn that Phillipsberg set an all time Ks high at 117 yesterday. Both of my good friends that farm out there are getting really down about this weather ... it's been like 12 days above a 100 out there so far and July and Aug are not here yet.
this is part of an email I got from the other friend/farmer out there in that area...
"I really don’t know how hot we got today. The computer said 112, the house thermometer said 118 and the pickup said 117. That with 35-40 mph winds and is was the most miserable day I have ever seen. Even some of the trees on the creek are turning brown. A pivot of corn west of me is getting hot as Hell on the south side about 100 feet in. The hot wind is burning it. More on tap for tomorrow. Actually supposed to be over 100 through July 4th anyway."
It doesn't look like any heavy, accumulating rain, for sure. But, the cool temps, alone, might be beneficial, along with whatever moisture falls, huh?<|endoftext|>Thank you so much for the feedback and the great tips Phoebe! I love sweet potatoes in this too!

The second change would relate to the dreaded “top step” delay – you know how it goes: a manager moves to the top step, asks the umpires to hold up so that they can make a decision on whether they want to use their challenge. Stark’s sources say MLB wants to limit this process, strictly, to 30 seconds. The rules already say that, when prompted by the umpire, the manager must “immediately” decide whether to challenge. Clearly, that hasn’t yet been employed (except for one infamous incident late last year, in which the Reds lost a game to the Cardinals because there was no “immediate” challenge).
Fingers crossed on these changes, which do nothing to detract from the game, itself, and could cut out a little bit of dead time here and there.<|endoftext|>The Conversation: How Men and Women Can Build Loving, Trusting Relationshipsby Hill Harper

Read an Excerptway to effectively communicate with a man. How can awoman know what a man is really thinking if she can’t get himto talk?
It’s almost a cliché to say that men and women communicatedifferently, but it does seem to be true. We’re simply different.“It’s like my boyfriend speaks a completely different languagethan I do,” my friend Gail once said.
“That’s because he’s talking in the language of men,” myother friend, Mary, replied. The three of us were having lunch.“If you didn’t grow up with it,” Mary continued, “it may as wellbe gibberish.” She explained that she hadn’t grown up with anymen in her house, and so she’d never really learned to understandthe language of men—the sports talk, the sparse replies, the suddenand deep silences. She acknowledged that she had, on manyoccasions, interpreted her ex-boyfriend’s silences as emotionalcruelty. “I honestly thought he was just being mean, giving methe silent treatment. I’d ask him how he felt and he’d just give mea blank stare and shrug. It drove me crazy.”
Both women then turned and stared at me as if I couldmagically reveal the tools to properly decode this language thatmen speak—if and when they speak at all. Unfortunately, all Icould share were my observations.
Linguistics scholar Deborah Tannen considers male-femaleconversation a form of cross-cultural communication. The innatedifferences in how men and women think, act, listen, and thereforecommunicate are so profound that it is as if we are productsof completely different cultures. These communication differenceshave been seen as early as the age of three.
I started this book by explaining how I believe that Blackmen and Black women don’t really even talk to each other anymore.I grew up watching my grandparents sit and talk. Theytalked about everything—from the weather, to the news, to theneighbors, to the grandchildren, to their plans, and then back tothe weather again. Watching those older couples at the Blakes’home reminded me of the flow and ease of my grandparents’conversations. I loved how the men joked with one another andwith the women. I loved how the women were an integral part ofthe exchange, either adding something affirmative to their husbands’statements or putting forth an alternative view, not justtalking among themselves.
I wondered why it seemed so special to see men and womengathered together and talking. Then I remembered a panel thatI’d been a speaker on the previous year. It was an all-male relationshippanel at the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans. Iwas intrigued (and, to be honest, scared) to be a part of it becauseI wasn’t sure what was going to happen. I mean, traditionally, menare not considered big talkers—especially not when it comes torelationships.
The thesis of the panel seemed to be that through a combinationof biology, brain chemistry, and socialization, men are“doers,” while women are “feelers.” When women talk, they feelcomfortable expressing their emotions. From the outside, it seemsto be a required part of their discussions. When men talk, however,it’s usually about something specific—sports, business, homerepairs, movies, television shows, or making money. We concernourselves with the mechanics, not the emotions or the minutiaeof these things. We focus mainly on the nuts and bolts.
That, obviously, is a generalization. The truth is that if youspend enough time in a barber shop, at the pool hall, on the basketballcourt, on the golf course, or at any bachelor party, sooneror later, golden nuggets of men’s true thoughts, questions, andconcerns about women and relationships will eventually cometo the surface.
Even then, the revelation is seldom direct. It is often shroudedin humor or made to sound like apassing comment, not somethingto ponder, dissect, and commenton. If the other men do comment,those comments will invariablyalso be shrouded in humor or peppered with playful insults and invectives—kind of like what happened when Dontold us that he was going to propose to Robin.When it comes to effectively communicating with men,how a woman says something is nearly as important as what shesays. Delivery is everything. Here are three particular things Iknow men universally dislike:
NAGGING
Men definitely want a woman by their side who has theirbest interests at heart. However, there is a fine line betweenhaving someone’s best interests at heart and aggressively forcingan agenda on someone. If a man has made it abundantly clear, inhis actions if not with his words, that the topic you’ve decided iscrucial enough to revisit countless times means nothing to him,give up. He is not ready to deal with it. He might not say that inso many words, but key in to his nonverbal clues. If he seems toshut down completely when you bring up a subject, then maybeyou should back away a bit.
If it’s something that you can’t put off, try a different tactic.Draw him out by beginning the conversation with a question. Forexample, “How are you feeling about the recession? Is it havingany effect on you? I’d love to hear how you’re dealing with it.” Nobodylikes to feel as though they are being spoken at, rather thanbeing spoken to, and a question makes it clear that you really wantto hear his thoughts. Even if you respond with your own thoughtsand you end up with a difference of opinion, at least you’ve bothheard and listened to each other. Some women I’ve known dealwith the fact that the men in their lives don’t talk much by takingover the conversation. The only room the men are given to speak is at the end of the litany, and that doesn’t seem at all like a spacereserved for thoughtful opinion or an alternative view.
Scenario A
Woman: Babe, how do I look in this? Does it makeme look like I’ve gained twenty pounds?
Man (hesitantly): No, hon. You look fine. You’re as beautifulas you were the day I met you.
Woman: Is that supposed to be some sort of joke?I was thirty-five pounds heavier when I metyou. I’ve been going to the gym every day,working my ass off to look good for you,and you don’t even notice.
(Man drops his head and shakes it, suddenly losing all desire to goout to the dinner they’d been getting dressed to attend.)
Scenario B
Woman: Babe, how do I look in this? Does it makeme look like I’ve gained twenty pounds?
Man (hesitantly): Don’t get mad at me. You asked for thetruth, so I’ll tell you. It’s not the most fl atteringdress you own. Why don’t you wearthe red dress you wore last—
Woman (upset): I remember a time when you always usedto tell me that I was beautiful, when youreally appreciated me.
(Man drops his head and shakes it, suddenly losing all desire to goout to the dinner they’d been getting dressed to attend.)
No one wins in this situation. The woman wanted to hearthat she is still the object of her man’s affections. He thoughtshe just wanted an answer to her question, and when he realizesthat she didn’t, the man feels like he was trapped. The morethis sort of thing happens |
canadian farm, you WILL be facing bullets, NO IF"S BUTS OR MAYBEES about it. You might get me in the end, but I will sure as **** take a lot of you with me.
Now, if I feel that way about about my farm, just imagine what what Iraqi farmers are feeling about the issue.
I'm not even going to MENTION sadamms history as as CIA/Amerrican puppet.
and I'll try not to mention the fact that depleated uranim is toxic for 4.5 BILLION years.
In fack, know what I think--seriously---for all the propaganda, and all the bullshit about it--there is only ONE--YES, ONE-- country in the history of this planet that has lossed nuclear weapons in anger. Not once, not twice, but 3 times now has america used nuclear techology as a weapon.
The old USSR never did--they threatened, they aimed--but they never did.
If americans were what americans say they are, the would have strun the buchs up from the nearest tree.
Every time I see this debate flare up, I have to wonder if we have our priorities right. The question of WMD in Iraq, whether it was there or not, whether the administration lied or not, whether our intelligence systems were faulty or not---these are valid questions, and important ones that do need to be addressed. But it shouldn't be our primary concern at this point, IMHO.
The fact remains, the invasion happened, there's no turning back the clock. It seems to me more attention should be focoused on what we do now. We've had thousands of soldiers killed, and thousands more are in jeopardy. I've always felt if we are going to commit soldiers to a conflict, we need to give them a clear cut objective, the means and resources to do their job quickly and efficiently, and get them home. The original objective...well, that boat has already sailed. What is the objective now? Stamping out an insurgency? Awfully hard to do, given the fanaticism of the enemy. As far as resources go, we obviously commited enough to overthrow Saddam's government, but have we given the military what it needs to do what it's now being asked to do?
The biggest issue to me is exit strategy. It never seemed clear from the beginning, and has become more murky with time. Do we withdraw completely, and allow Iraq to descend into civil war? Do we withdraw slowly, and place the troops remaining at more risk? Do we increase our presence there and run the risk of another Vietnam style involvement? To me, these are far more important questions, more important than why we invaded in the first place.
I can make most of these "WMD" with the cleaning supplies under my sink..No Joke!
Yeah sure todd. 400 billion, 17,000 mamed, killed or wounded. Bahhh, all that for a few cans of sarin and a few pieces of yellow cake. So whats the ancore?
Demokratz : where are the weapons eh!
Demokratz : who are you gonna believe , us or your lying eyes....
Some people can't handle reality . when it doesn't fit their desired outcome.
it is funny however, that the demokratz see this "small " bit of actual intelligence and assume that it's the whole ice burg when it is merely the tip...
the amount of information that will be declassified after we leave iraq will be embarassing to the Demokratic party. they can't even get more than 14 of their own members to vote "yea" to withdraw our troops for fear of that level of embarassment... it's not because they want our troops to be safely at home. it's because they do not want to have to deal with the fact that we found wmd, terrorist , and al queada connections. Also , the fact that we may have to deal militarily with iran or north korea. many in both parties worry about any classified information reguarding iraq's wmd's and links back to russia,france,china and the UN since we would more than likly seak their participation in disarmming yet another member of the access of evil.
"Reality" is subject to each individuals perceptions so I disagree that yours is the only one everyone must subscribe to. Most people are rational enough to be able to weigh the positives vs the negatives and make their own determinations as to whats best. I also disagree that all people who disagree with whats happening are democrats and all those in favor are republicans, It's simply not an accurate statement.
If "we the people" are not given full and accurate information then how can they make a proper determination? If the USG doesn't want the people to "know" whats going on then the people are left with one of two choices. 1. there IS no real information. 2. believe everything the USG says which is a very dangerous idea. Fact is most people really don't care about this whole pile of BS anymore because Iraq was not the "empire of evil" it was so touted to be, it's costing billions upon billions, sons and daughters are being killed maimed and injured daily. Lastly what is the ROI? What benefits do we get for all this sacrefice? How are our lives going to be so much better? A rational person will always weight the benefits vs costs and most americans agree that the margine of benefit vs the cost is slim to none.
Most people agree that we gave Iraq freedom and it's now up to them to keep and defend it.. it's time for them to stand up for what they believe in but it's becoming more and more apparent the majority of Iraqis are not willing to do so. Freedom has a price, if Iraq isn't willing to pay for it then why should we pay for it for them? They are like wefare recipients fully capable of fighting and defending their own freedom but instead sit around holding their hands out for the monthlys.
So ok lets look at it form your perspective. You got your "massive" stock piles of WMD, you removed Saddam from power, you gave Iraqis freedom, you broke the back of al-quieda in Iraq and Iraq is no longer considered an "axis of evil" so... like why do we need to be there? What? Afraid there will be a civil war and they will decide for themselves what form of government they want? No doubt our government doesn't want that to happen because the government that emerges won't be one the USG can control. And thats the problem.. our government wants to control Iraq. You may feel that is not a problem but it's a very costly venture in that there will always be an Iraqi who doesn't want to be controled. There will always be rebellion. Hell we have that here in this country!
This is the tip of the iceberg I see.
The more we make "war" on other nations <insert the governments reason here> the more enemies we make as a nation and as a consiquence the more likely we are going to suffer for it. It's like a dog chasing it's own tail.
The more we sit here and bicker about who is right and who is wrong the more our government will tromp all over the planet and bleed america of its money and people while we (the people) sink deeper into a morass of politial bullshit, war and are ultimatly are going to end up paying dearly for it.
Myself. You can call me selfish but as far as I know this is the only life I've been given. When someone disregards my life as expendable or makes it more dificult for me to live it then I'm going to have an issue with that person or persons. Life is tough enough without some jackbag entering into it and telling me what I must do and making it more dificult for me in any way shape or form.
I was born during the Korean war, I remember the vietnam war, I saw the "end" of the cold war, remeber seeing the war in cosovo, I remember the very well intended war against the war lords in mogadisu, saw the rise of the war on drugs, I joined the military at 20 and left it just before the first gulf war, I DO remeber when the war on terror started, I agreed initially with the Iraq war but now am questioning what the benefits of this war. Now there is talk of war with Iran and the potential for war with N. Korea.... :::sigh::: All my life I've been expose to WAR and I really beginning to question this "war like" country of ours and our propensity to go to war with anyone or anything at any time. Ya know, I just want to live out the remainder of my days in peace... is that too much to ask, is that an unreasonable request, does the goal of peace mean I have to forever be at war and never know what it feels like to be at peace? Anyone ever stop long enough to take notice how we always "talk" about how how we are a "peaceful" nation yet are constantly at war with something or someone somewhere be it in this country or somewhere else in the world? I mean WTF is REALLY going on here? I'll tell you.. WAR! Republicans vs Democrats, Left vs Right, Up vs Down, In vs Out, Good guys vs Bad guys blahh blah vs blahh blah. I don't want anything to do with war yet I'm pigon holed into it every god damn day of my life and I'm really growing weary |
have bad days. But whole weeks? It seems like weeks should be too long to be bad. Unfortunately, I found out the hard way that weeks are not too long to be all bad.
Every business has a bad hair week! But you know what I took from this article is looking for the reason for why your week was bad. I know a lot of businesses who would acknowledge it, complain about it, worry about it but not really realise that it wasn't personal to their business, it was just a seasonality.
So you advice is great for small business owners - if they experience a bad day, fair enough. If they experience a bad week, then it's time to find out why..and see what, if anything, they can do about it.
Thanks for sharing here at bizsugar.com.
This is so true. There can be many factors for a day or week to be bad and sometimes just something small will start the downward spiral. Being positive always helps stave off the bad times but that can be tiring all the time. And like you say there can often be outside circumstances that make that week bad for you.
This is so true... except staying level-headed when business slows down "out of the blue" for a whole week is often easier said than done. It can be an even bigger problem when resources are tight.
One method for easing the jitters is to either have a secondary source of income to fall back on or set up a business "emergency fund." Doing so will help take off the pressure and allow you to see what is happening more objectively.
On a related note, we forecast web traffic seasonality with Google Trends. It's a remarkably accurate tool as long as you are in an industry that gets a decent volume of traffic. I've not found it overly useful for predicting short term cyclic behavior (i.e. predicting next week's traffic compared to this week), but it's great for addressing seasonal lows and highs.
Thanks Todd, that is a great point. I had heard of using Google Trends, but didn't think about using it to figure my bad week. I will have to keep that in mind the next time I have a bad week.<|endoftext|>I am looking for two individuals to provide part-time support for Simple Scrapper, along with our team leader and customer service manager, as paid independent contractors.

What does Jesus say about eating animals?
Are bats bad for your house?
Can bats survive in daylight?
What to do if a bat touches you?
How long does a bat live?
Are bats dangerous to eat?
Why is it a sin to eat pork?
Where does the Bible say not to eat bats?
What’s forbidden in Christianity?
MYTH: Bats in your house are bad luck. Vampires exist only in books and movies, and bats can’t cause bad luck. That doesn’t mean you want one in your house; it could spread certain diseases. Bats in your yard, however, are great—a little brown bat can eat up to a thousand mosquito-size insects in an hour.
Bats are nocturnal, and typically do not fly during daylight hours if they are healthy. … If the weather is not too cold (i.e., torpor-inducing), the bat will likely go out to forage after dusk before returning to its temporary roost spot at dawn the next day.
If you touch the bat (or think you or your pet or child could have touched the bat), call Public Health immediately at |||PHONE_NUMBER||| . Anyone who touched or had contact with the bat or its saliva could be at risk of getting rabies, which is almost always fatal once symptoms begin.
Histoplasmosis is a disease associated with the droppings of bats known as guano. The disease primarily affects the lungs and can be life threatening, particularly to those with a weakened immune system. It is transmitted when a person inhales spores from fungus that grow on bird and bat droppings.
Bats are specifically mentioned only three times in Scripture. Isaiah warned Israel of the time when their idols would be cast away “into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth…to the moles and bats” (2:19-20).

Two main concepts have been invoked as controlling the course of organic photochemical reactions. One is the nature of the excited state hypersurface with reacting molecules following minimum energy pathways toward geometries of alternative photoprodu~ts.~*-~ The other is competitive excited state radiationless decay to the alternative ground state products,4a-e by internal conversion of singlets or intersystem crossing of triplets. That such decay must occur is a truism; however, in our view decay controls the direction of excited state reactivity only for those simpler reactions where minimal geometric change occurs. More generally, when decay is a factor in a complex reaction it is far removed along the hypersurface. In this paper we support this view and present important results in dealing with spin-orbit coupling5 control of intersystem crossing. The example of the type-B rearrangement of 4-arylcyclohexenones to afford 6-arylbicyclo[3.1.01hexanones6 is used. We report: (a) Ab initio spin-orbit coupling dissection at strategic points along the type-B reaction hypersurface. (b) Spin-orbit coupling is dominated by geminal interactions. (c) Evidence that HOMO-LUMO considerations lead to errors and a larger active space is required. (d) Energetics along the hypersurfaces leading from reactant to product. (e) The largest contributors to spin-orbit coupling for reactant and product ketones are oxygen pr-pn (i-e., n-Jt* type). But, for the diradical intermediates, spin-orbit coupling is dominated by geminal hybrid interactions at the odd-electron centers. (f) The relatively low experimental quantum yields are due to intersystem crossing from the enone reactant triplet to ground state rather than along the reaction hypersurface. (g) Final product formation results from TI to SO intersystem crossing in the region past “diradicalI1” as the bicyclic structure is<|endoftext|>Lumped parameter modelling of pulmonary venous flow
In order to study the effect of isolated physiological changes on Doppler indices of pulmonary venous flow Thomas' (1989) fluid dynamics model of mitral valve flow during early filling is extended to pulmonary venous and mitral flow during the complete heart cycle. The model predicts the time course of pressure and velocity in the pulmonary veins and left heart given left atrial and ventricular compliance. A parameter study confirms a strong correlation between pulmonary venous systolic velocity-time integral expressed its a function of total systolic plus early diastolic velocity time integral with preload (r=-0.95; p<0.05). Also the peak E/A ratio correlates strongly |

Staff” or “Employees”); contractors, vendors, or other third parties contractually obligated to Brown University (“Third Parties”); and visitors or guests of Brown University (“Invitees”); all collectively together known as “Covered Persons.” This policy pertains to acts of Prohibited Conduct committed by or against Covered Persons when:
(i.) the conduct occurs on Brown University premises; and/or
(ii.) the conduct occurs in the context of a Brown University employment, education, or research program or activity, including but not limited to Brown University-sponsored study abroad, research, internship, mentorship, summer session, or other affiliated programs or premises; and/or
(iii.) the conduct occurs outside the context of a Brown University employment, education, or research program or activity, but (i) has continuing adverse effects on Brown University premises or in any Brown University employment, education, or research program or activity or (ii) occurs in close proximity to Brown University premises and is connected to hostile conduct on Brown University premises.
To implement this policy, the University has developed specific processes to investigate an allegation that a Covered Person has committed or been subject to an act of Prohibited Conduct that could implicate this policy. The University will select the appropriate process to use in a given situation based on the identity of the person alleged to have violated the policy (i.e., the “Respondent”).[†]
IV. Title IX Program Officer
The Title IX Program Officer is charged with monitoring compliance with Title IX; providing education and training; tracking and reporting annually on all incidents in violation of this policy; and coordinating Brown University’s investigation, response, and resolution of all reports under this policy.
Concerns about Brown University’s application of this policy may also be addressed to the United States Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights, at [email protected] or (800) 421-3481 or the Rhode Island Commission for Human Rights.
V. Privacy and Confidentiality
Brown University is committed to making reasonable efforts to protect the privacy interests of a complainant, a respondent and/or other individuals involved in a report under this policy.
Privacy: For the purposes of this policy, privacy generally means that information related to a report of Prohibited Conduct will be shared with a limited circle of individuals who “need to know” in order to assist in the review, investigation, and resolution of the report, and related issues. All employees who are routinely involved in Brown University’s Title IX response receive specific training and guidance about safeguarding private information in accordance with applicable laws.
Confidentiality: For the purposes of this policy, confidentiality means that designated campus or community professionals cannot reveal identifiable information shared by an individual to any other person without express permission of the individual, or as otherwise permitted or required by law. Those campus and community professionals who have the ability to maintain information confidentially include:
(1) health care providers in Brown University Health Services,
(2) mental health professionals in Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS),
(3) the Sexual Harassment and Assault Resources and Education (SHARE) Advocate(s) in Health Services,
(4) ordained clergy, all of whom normally have privileged confidentiality that is recognized by Rhode Island state law.
These individuals are prohibited from breaking confidentiality unless (i) given permission to do so by the person who disclosed the information; (ii) there is an imminent threat of harm to self or others; (iii) the conduct involves suspected abuse of a minor under the age of 18; or (iv) as otherwise required or permitted by law or court order.
VI. Employee Responsibility to Report Allegations
There are (3) general classifications of individuals on campus and the respective ability of these categories of individuals to maintain a complainant’s confidentiality differs:
(1) Confidential Resources: (individuals listed in Section V with legally protected confidentiality). Confidential Resources can maintain the confidentiality of a complainant’s disclosures and will not share any information with Brown University, subject to the exceptions listed above.
(2) Responsible Employees: While able to maintain an individual’s privacy, Responsible Employees are required to immediately share all known details of incidents of Prohibited Conduct with the Title IX Program Officer. “Responsible Employee” means those designated employees in a leadership or supervisory position, or who have significant responsibility for the welfare of Students or Employees. Responsible Employees include the Title IX Program Officer; the President, Vice Presidents and Deans; the Provost; Members of the President’s Cabinet; Deputy Title IX Coordinators; Public Safety Officers; Assistant and Associate Deans, Directors, and Coordinators in Residential Life, the Office of Student Life, Student Activities, the Dean of the College, the Graduate School, the Alpert Medical School, the School of Public Health, the School of Professional Studies, Human Resources, and Athletics; Academic Department Chairs; Academic Institute, Center and Program Directors; Directors of Graduate Studies; faculty and staff serving as undergraduate academic advisors, including first-year and sophomore and concentration advisors; Community Directors; Athletic Team Head Coaches and Assistant Coaches. Students serving in certain positions of leadership or authority, such as Residential Peer Leaders, student supervisors and managers in Dining Services, and Meiklejohn Advisors, are also considered Responsible Employees and receive appropriate training within the context of their specific programs.
Supervisors who receive reports of Prohibited Conduct from individuals they supervise are also required to share all known details with the Title IX Program Officer, the Director of Inclusion, or a Deputy Title IX Coordinator.
This list is not exhaustive; any questions about the status of an employee as a ‘Responsible Employee’ should be addressed to the Title IX Program Officer and/or a Deputy Title IX Coordinator.
(3) All other Employees are encouraged to share information with the Title IX Program Officer. Unless designated above, faculty who do not exercise administrative responsibilities outside of the classroom and employees who do not exercise supervisor or managerial responsibilities are generally not considered Responsible Employees.
Clery Act Reporting: Pursuant to the Clery Act and VAWA, Brown University includes statistics about certain offenses in its daily crime log and Annual Security Report and provides those statistics to the United States Department of Education in a manner that does not include any identifying information about persons involved in an incident. This includes numbers of incidents (with no detail or personally identifying information) disclosed to Confidential Resources. Brown University will also issue a timely warning to the community for reports of Clery-defined conduct that constitutes a serious and ongoing threat, as outlined in the Annual Security Report.
VII. Prohibited Conduct Under This Policy
Conduct under this policy is prohibited regardless of the sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or gender expression of the complainant or respondent.
A. Sexual or Gender-Based Harassment

New architectural possibilities with sustainable Cradle to Cradle textile ducts.
Why textile ducts?
Textile ducts are very well-suited for efficient, uniform, and draught-free distribution of fresh air without "dead zones".Read more about textile ductwork
CradleVent
Recyclable textile ventilation products resource efficiency make it attractive for contractors and architects to use the well-documented CradleVent building component.
Cradle to Cradle is documented sustainability
With the Cradle to Cradle concept you see waste as food for a new production, this creates balance in the cycle. When the product is no longer usable we take it back for disassembly and recycling ready to be used in another technical cycle. This way nothing is wasted.
Gaining Cradle to Cradle certification was a time-consuming process but for us it was necessary to take responsibility and start designing products that will be useful rather than harmful for the environment.
To make the process a success we worked closely with Milestone Pro and upholstery fabric producer Gabriel A/S, they were deliver what we have promised.
Cradle to Cradle certified products can give you up to 2 extra LEED v4 points in the “Material Ingredient Reporting” and “Material Ingredient Optimization” categories.
Design freedom and a good indoor climate
Textile Based Ventilation offers many benefits. Textile ducts are tailored to match the room's interior design and colours. This allows textile ducts to become an integrated part of the building and open up to new architectural possibilities.
With textile ducts you get an efficient and draught-free air distribution and a good indoor climate.
Textile ducts are washable, this gives you the opportunity for energy savings as you lower the consumption of energy when the duct is clean.

This fortunately held as it would have been very difficult for John to find his way back down the highway to wherever we were.
It took a fair time to repair the puncture because it was a tricky, major job but we set off again as soon as we could. Because there was a fairly large hole in the tyre, albeit repaired, Lewis wanted to take it slow, which we did and that was fine by me. This was roughly at the 80 mile mark, with around 12 miles to go. We then continued about 6 miles on the highway which was very busy with the evening traffic and the rest of the miles along a side road. Along this road were a huge number of RV’s (Recreational Vehichle) parked. They had extendable windows coming out to make the room bigger and were absolutely huge. On our right as we cycled were golden beaches as far as you could see, people surfing, people on the beaches and it was really very very nice.
Just as an interlude to the story of our day I thought I would again return to the subject of my undercarriage which, for your information was coping fairly well at this point in the trip. I had worked out which were my most comfortable shorts and had saved them for the last two days, especially as today was our longest mileage. Fortunately, they proved to be very comfortable and did the trick, but for extra protection I added the additional padding from lunchtime onwards. Once I had added this padding, I felt really very comfy! My general observation is that those who had the cheaper shorts had the sorest bottom!!!
One of the benefits of stopping to help Lewis was that we were delayed so long that it was that the sun was starting to set over the beach and sea. This was absolutely spectacular. Beautiful colours of pink and gold and one of the nicest sights I have seen in a long, long time. It was also nice because as the sun went down the temperature cooled off and made the cycling even more pleasant.
As we were cycling in to Ventura, John came around the corner to meet us as he had arranged to take Lewis to a bike shop (which closed at 7pm) to get his tyre changed and his bike sorted out because he also had two gears that weren’t working properly. These gears were the two gears that would take him up hills the easiest, so they were pretty important. When John met us, he had just heard that Alan had also had a puncture and need to go and help him, so Lewis took himself to the bike shop!
We got back to the hotel around 6.45pm after 11 hours. It had been a long day, but really nice. Although we felt tired at the end of it, we still felt that we could have carried on if we had needed to. Very different from the first day when we were all completely shattered, so obviously our fitness has come on during the week.
As a reward, after a quick shower, I went in the Jacuzzi with David, Richard R and Daren and we had a bit of a laugh about the day. We went out for a nice meal a few blocks away and we returned about 10 pm when the internet problems started and I couldn’t send this blog!

Not surprisingly, the recommended method of cooking wasn’t air popping or microwave – it was on the stove-top. He used a stainless steel bowl, but I always used to use a Dutch oven with cover.
Grandma used to use a high-sided skillet with a lid, the only thing it ever got used for, that I saw. When I was a kid, I remember watching her making the popcorn, shaking the skillet violently back and forth on the electric burner. It made a dreadful racket, really, and the burner was red hot. I was fascinated. This pre-dated microwave popcorn, but still – popcorn came from the air popper and from movie theaters. That’s it.
She made it that way nearly every night, after dinner. It went into a white plastic bucket (the only thing it ever got used for, as well) with butter or oil and salt. I think she took a bowl for herself, but the bucket went beside Grandpa’s chair. I remember an old plastic coffee mug, stained from years of use, sitting on the black ceramic standalone ashtray. I remember getting a bowl for myself, too. Strangely, I can remember how it tasted.
I love to cook. I wonder – do I love to cook because I have these memories of food and family, or do I have these memories because I love to cook and bring them to mind? I’m leaning toward the former, if only because I eat like a bachelor when I’m alone. I need someone to cook for, to share with, before I get |
If the Nats can figure out a way to get by them, and the D-backs don't upset the Dodgers -- which they sure could -- then the team with more wins than anybody this season will be standing between Baker and what might be his last chance to win the World Series as a manager.
Everybody knows how close he came when he was still managing the Giants in 2002, against the Angels. The Giants were ahead 3-2 in the Series and eight outs away from winning it all when Baker came out to get his starter, Russ Ortiz, in the seventh inning of Game 6, in what would become such a famous World Series moment. Because in that moment, Dusty didn't take the ball from Ortiz. He told him to keep it, because, why not, this was the night Dusty and Ortiz and Barry Bonds were going to win it all.
''He said, 'Great job,' and he asked if I wanted to keep the ball,'' Ortiz said after Game 6. ''I said, 'Sure, I guess.' He handed me the ball back. I think we all felt confident the way the game was going.'' The score was 5-0 for the Giants at the time. Only Dusty Baker's bullpen exploded on him in that inning and the next -- and the Angels came back to win Game 6, 6-5. Then they won Game 7.
But as cruel as that October was for Baker, somehow he was right back the next year. Just with the Cubs. Who were going to take Baker back to the World Series. Who were up three games to two on the Marlins in the National League Championship Series.
The year before, Baker had been eight outs away from winning the World Series before he made that decision with Ortiz. Now he was five outs away from going back. Mark Prior was on the mound and he was pitching a three-hit shutout and the Cubs were winning, 3-0.
Of course, this was what came to be known, amazingly unfairly, as the Steve Bartman game. Luis Castillo hit a foul ball toward the stands in left at Wrigley Field. Moises Alou, Dusty's leftfielder, went running over there, thinking he could make a play on the ball. So did Bartman. He reached for the ball as Alou did. Alou didn't make the play. The rest, for sure, is baseball history and Cubs history, because just about everything that could go wrong after that did go wrong. What had been a 3-0 lead for the Cubs before the inning began ended up an 8-3 deficit, with three of those runs coming on a bases-clearing double from a Marlin named Mike Mordecai.
The Cubs lost Game 7 the next night. The Marlins went to the World Series, and beat the Yankees in six games. The Cubs didn't go to their first World Series since 1945, and they sure didn't win their first one since 1908. Dusty wasn't the guy who ended all the waiting on the North Side of Chicago. Joe Maddon was the manager who got to do that, 13 years later. Now Maddon is trying to do it again. Dusty's Nats are trying to stop him.
"I'm always confident," Baker said in The Washington Post the other day. "The way I look at it, it's already written. All we got to do is believe it."
He is looking for one more World Series. He is looking for at least one more contract to keep managing the Nationals, after doing this kind of work in San Francisco and Chicago and Cincinnati before he got to Nationals Park. We really do know about the times the Nationals have fallen short at this time of year. A year ago, they lost Game 5 of the Division Series to the Dodgers, before it was the Dodgers who made their run against the Cubs. The Nats keep coming back. So does Dusty Baker. Who, even after that fateful decision with Ortiz in 2002, was six outs away as a manager from winning it all once. Who was five outs away from taking the Cubs to the Series once.
Before his Yankees won it all for him in 1996, Joe Torre had never made it to the World Series as a player or manager. It was different for Baker as a player, with the '81 Dodgers team that beat the Yankees in a six-game Series. But now has come a different kind of wait for him.. So many stories in baseball. Such a wonderful time for the sport. And here is Dusty Baker, the one who has been at this the longest, back in October, trying to see if it is his time, at long last.<|endoftext|>Compare

However, the Civil Aviation Authority confirmed all Holidays 4U customers abroad should be able to complete their trips as planned, although some may face requests from hoteliers for payment.
Brighton-based Holidays 4U went into administration on August 3 following the morning departure to Turkey of two Onur Air flights. A flight due to depart from Manchester that evening was cancelled.
The company has up to 13,000 clients overseas and an additional 20,000 forward bookings affecting the holidays of up to 50,000 people, all of which have been cancelled.
Joint administrator Ian Oakley-Smith of PwC said: “The company has suffered because of difficulties faced by the travel industry as a result of the economic downturn.”
Holidays 4U employed 18 staff, most of whom lost their jobs yesterday. It was registered as Holidays 4 UK Ltd and also traded as Aegean Flights. The company has been operating since 1994, but had to provide a bond and additional security in order to renew its Atol licence in March. It described itself as “providing cheap Turkish holidays”.
All package holidays and flight-only sales should be protected under the company’s Atol licence and customers can expect refunds through the CAA. However, people who booked their own accommodation will lose out on that segment of their holiday unless they can find an alternative flight.
The company’s flying was handled exclusively by Istanbul-based Onur Air and the carrier indicated it will assist with repatriation.
The CAA’s Atol spokesman David Clover said: “The height of summer is the worst possible time for a travel firm to fail.” He said any Holidays 4U client abroad who is asked to pay again for accommodation should make a claim through the CAA on their return.

3 men indicted in ASU player's killing
JACKSON, Tenn. (AP) - A grand jury has indicted three men in the fatal shooting of 21-year-old Arkansas State football player Markel Owens.
Jackson police say Johnny Wade, Derrick Wade and Craig Taylor were indicted Monday on charges of robbery and first-degree murder in the deaths of Owens and 36-year-old Johnny Shivers, the junior defensive lineman's stepfather.
They also are charged with attempted murder in the shooting of Owens' mother, Chermaine Owens-Shivers.
Authorities say the Wades, who are cousins, forced their way into a Jackson apartment on Jan. 15 and demanded money. Police say Owens and Shivers were fatally shot during a struggle.
Owens' mother also was shot. The robbers fled with a large amount of cash.
Police said Taylor drove the Wades away from the scene. All three men are in custody.

Pea Ridge military site considers change to trees
PEA RIDGE (AP) - A public meeting is planned on how to make the trees and vegetation at Pea Ridge National Military Park more representative of what it was like during the Civil War.
The park now has 759 acres of eastern cedar trees - even though no cedar trees were at the site during the 1862 Battle of Pea Ridge. Park officials say they've come up with three alternatives to make the site's vegetation more authentic.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports the plans call for the removal of nearly all the cedar trees.
One alternative would re-establish specific crops, pastures and open woods that would have existed in 1862. Another plan would incorporate native vegetation, while a third plan calls for the planting of corn.
The meeting is set for Thursday in Garfield.

Public comment sought on Clinton Birthplace site
HOPE (AP) - The National Park Service is accepting public comment on possible changes or improvements to the Clinton Birthplace National Historic Site in Hope.
The public comment period opened last week and runs through June 30. The park service hopes to identify projects that can document the historic character of the neighborhood as experienced by former president Bill Clinton.
Clinton was born in Hope in 1946 and lived in the home with his mother and grandparents for four years.
The park service says the neighborhood has changed over the past several decades, moving from residential to more commercial development.
The home first opened to the public in 1997 and was officially designated as a National Historic Site in 2011.

7.2 volt Li-ions safely?
Richard
Rooster, thank you...I feel so much better now!
I was hoping you would post that!
Thanks Jon...when I purchased the Li-ion batteries I also purchased a Tenergy TB6B Multifunction Balance Charger.
That looks like a Polyfuse. Also looks like it's the first thing, connected in series with the battery on the left which is logical for a fuse. So, yes - leave it in the circuit. You will probably need a different charger for a LiIon pack.
The CVP (AirWire) website has articles about using the two different batteries, I think from what I read, using the correct charger is most important as you want your battery protected from overcharging, which can lead to a disaster if not done correctly.
trainman<|endoftext|>Yesterday, Thursday the 14th of March 2013, I had the great pleasure of speaking at the University of Sussex to an entirely mixed audience of humanists, scientists, librarians, OA enthusiasts and OA sceptics on the topic of the Future of Peer Review. The advantage of being too busy to practice a talk was that I felt it would be wise to script it. That may not sound like an advantage, but it does mean that, in addition to the video recording that I believe is going up on the Sussex site and the Prezi, I am able to post a transcript of my thoughts here for those who wish to read them. This piece assumes current practice in the humanities to be double-blind review and... here it is:
When it comes to talking about the future of anything, we have to be very careful. It is easy to speculate on the ways in which we might like things to be, or the way things will have to be, but these perspectives often overlook the fact that any way that we think about the future is profoundly influenced by the past, by the ways in which we have come to our existing circumstances, by the accidents of history that have produced the world as it currently stands.
The primary focus of what I want to talk about today is the differences in peer review practice between the arts and the sciences, the difficulties in changing things and the problems of re-thinking peer review within the entrenched systems that constrain our actions. What does a re-jigging of well-known processes do to odious systems of accreditation, such as REF? What might alternative systems look like for the humanities, the area on which I'll be specifically drawing focus for my part of today's talk?
The first thing that it is important to note is that some of the original purposes of peer review have now been lost. This has come about because of the internet and the arise of nonrivalrous commodity exchange (my apologies for using the term “commodity” to refer to your journal articles but, it is, I'm afraid, to some extent the truth). In this new mode, the “ownership” of an item does not come at the expense of another person not owning it. This can be seen clearly in any media: music, books, film etc. It is not longer the case that a perfect, one-to-one copy of an these items can only be made by professionals. While the cassette tape may have played a part in the history, the quality reduction and degradable nature of the medium still made it unwieldy. Now, with a worldwide system of high-speed internet access, exact duplication of these materials is possible and items can be owned without somebody else being unable to retain their copy.
This is, of course, one of the key points that Peter Suber makes in his book on open access and is closely related to many arguments in that field. However, the transition to a mode where there are no longer the constraints of print has wide implications for peer review. Much of the historical function of peer review is the that of the gatekeeper and one of the gatekeeper's functions was to reduce the quantity of material that was allowed through, not because academics would be overloaded by the quantity of information, but rather because of the page budget in the issue of a journal. With physical commodities, there is a need to limit the intellectual material that goes into the printed artefact because there is a material cost for each page that has to be printed and distributed. This is no longer the case with the internet. Instead, we can distribute more with a negligible increase in cost.
However, this leads to a secondary problem and an evolution in the function of peer review. While many people argue that the function of peer review has always been quality, we can see that, in the past, there was also a monetary aspect ascribed to it. Now, with that additional cost gone – bear in mind, always, that academics are not paid for their review work – the argument has to turn elsewhere. Devoid of economic costs, the focus instead becomes on quality of articles leading to a reduced academic workload. The argument now runs that we must have quality pre-filters so that academics aren't overburdened reading through a mass of undifferentiated rubbish, so that academic journals don't become strewn with nonsense, littered with the cat imagery for which, supposedly, the rest of the internet is famed.
This argument, though, has lead many to speculate whether there aren't, actually, pressing problems with the idea of conventional peer review. Who decides what is “rubbish”? How fair is the current system? What are the intrinsic biases in the process?
To answer a few of those questions, as the answers highlight many of the problems with which the future of peer review will have to contend, first-off, we should ask: is it not objectionable that only two academics, in most instances, although sometimes only one, have the say, in private, with no accountability, as to what is published? It can be the case, especially for early careerists, or those seeking promotion, that their ability to get a job can rest on the private decision of two academics. If one of them is having a bad day and is harsh, it can be the case that the author may be unemployable. Likewise, some papers will get an easier ride based on accidental affinity with the reviewer's own interests, alignment with their arguments or simply, to be frank with you, upon the mood of the reviewer on the day. Luck plays an enormous part in the fairness of anonymous peer review and it is a system that has us at its mercy.
How anonymous is the system? Theoretically, the review is double-blinded. I should not know the identity of my reviewers and they should not know mine. The benefits of this are clear: the idea is that the review should be impartial and based on the work, rather than ad hominem. Similarly, the reviewers are protected from feeling unable to express their true thoughts in cases where, for instance, the author is a prominent figure in their field. Often, this is utopian. In small fields where people may have presented draft work at conferences, are known for pursuing a specific angle, or through imperfect metadata erasure and/or slips of phrase in self-citation, the identity of the author can be perspicuous to reviewers. It is less often that slips occur the other way around and reviewers largely do keep their anonymity, although I have in the past been able to guess the most likely reviewer of my work.
Furthermore, anonymity has its problems. The shielding of reviewers, with no comeback, can lead them to be harsher than they would be if they recognised that there was a human being on the end of their comments (I've been guilty of this in peer-review feedback before). Furthermore, there is, it seems, something strange about the insistence on anonymity being preserved once a piece has been published. Universities and academia function on genealogies of validation, that is, on hierarchies of prestige and tracing the flow of academic capital through publications. Journals are only as valuable as the genealogies that validate their work as high-quality. This is achieved through submission quantity/quality and rejection rate underpinned by rigorous peer-review. And yet, in the current setup, what we're actually left with is a bizarre situation where, instead of the process of review being visible in order to validate the work, the quality of the review process and the prestige of the people doing the review must be inferred from the perceived post-publication quality of the publication.
In short: under current practice there are only two ways that we know the review was good, both of which are flawed. The first of these is through placing trust in journal brand. While there are strong arguments for why this is a good thing – ie. if the journal is continually publishing good material, then it's probable that their review process is solid – there are also pitfalls here. A “journal” is quite a wide measure of quality over a long period of time. Editors change, journal quality can wax and wane, but our knowledge of this will always be behind-the-times; it takes a while for a drop in quality to register in the general perception of scholars. Furthermore, sometimes prestige can be accumulated simply by one or two articles from junior scholars who then go on to really make it as a leader in their field. Prescience or luck? Who can tell. The second way in which we can crudely measure journal quality – and which surely most affects scholars' perceptions – is by doing our own post-publication review when we read the paper. Clearly, this is inherent in the reading of any academic paper – we use our own academic training to assess the piece's worth and use. We tend to attribute blame (or I do, at least, when I'm not actively thinking about the process) for a poor paper to either the author or to the journal brand. This is interesting; what seems to have specifically failed in this case is the |

Patrick van Aanholt’s second goal in as many Premier League matches rescued a point for Sunderland in their relegation clash with AFC Bournemouth.
Van Aanholt, who learnt in midweek that the league’s Goal Accreditation Panel had taken away his strike at Swansea earlier in January, responded in perfect fashion with a fine finish in first-half stoppage time to cancel out Benik Afobe’s opener for the visitors at the Stadium of Light.
Given Sunderland’s propensity to concede in the opening 15 minutes of matches and Bournemouth’s prolific record in the early stages, it was perhaps unsurprising that Afobe nodded the Cherries in front inside 11 minutes.
The striker netted his side’s eighth early strike of the Premier League campaign – and the ninth shipped by Sunderland in the first quarter-hour of matches this term – to ensure Eddie Howe’s men flew out of the traps.
The away side remained in total control until the 30-minute mark and should have been out of sight prior to the Black Cats’ equaliser but after the interval the hosts returned with renewed enthusiasm.
Artur Boruc was the busier of the two goalkeepers in the second period, as Adam Johnson, Jermain Defoe and Billy Jones all tried their luck, but the two teams had to settle for a share of the spoils.
Sunderland never looked like taking anything from the game during the opening stages, however.
Afobe was a matter of inches away from turning home Dan Gosling’s cross in the 11th minute, as Bournemouth enjoyed the better of the territory and possession, but the £10million signing from Wolves did convert his next chance less than two minutes later.
Stanislas swung in a cross from the right and Afobe stooped to head past Vito Mannone from 10 yards for his second goal in Cherries colours.
Mannone beat away Stanislas’s fierce strike midway through the first half, as the visitors continued to dominate, while Afobe’s shot was kept out by the home stopper when a pass to the unmarked Stanislas was the better option for the Bournemouth striker.
It took until the 33rd minute for Sunderland to muster their first effort on target, with Boruc flinging himself to his left to deny John O’Shea a first Premier League goal since December 2013, and Boruc was in action again in first-half stoppage time to claim Fabio Borini’s deflected shot from the edge of the box.
Despite being second best for most of the opening period, the Black Cats did find an equaliser before the break.
Borini’s tidy throughball played in Van Aanholt down the left and the Dutchman powered a strike past Boruc at his near post.
The goal gave Sunderland new-found belief and they began the second period with confidence. Johnson’s speculative volley looped into Boruc’s hands 10 minutes after the restart, while Defoe shot wide from 30 yards.
Jones then brought out a good stop from Boruc with a header from Johnson’s left-wing cross, as the home side enjoyed the better of the chances, but it was visiting substitute Lewis Grabban who spurned a golden opportunity to win the game late on.
The recent signing from Norwich was played clean through with eight minutes remaining but failed to hit the target, ensuring the two teams had to make do with a point each in their battle to avoid the drop.
- No defender has been involved in more goals this season than Patrick van Aanholt (5 – three goals, two assists).
- Van Aanholt is the first Sunderland defender to score in back to back Premier League games.
- Fabio Borini registered his first Premier League assist since doing so for Liverpool away at Sunderland in January 2015.
- Bournemouth have kept back to back away clean sheets for the first time in the Premier League.
- Bournemouth have dropped the most points from winning positions this season (14).<|endoftext|>Recent Progress in Tropical Cyclone Intensity Forecasting at the National Hurricane Center
It has been well documented that the National Hurricane Center (NHC) has made significant improvements in Atlantic basin tropical cyclone (TC) track forecasting during the past half century. In contrast, NHC’s TC intensity forecast errors changed little from the 1970s to the early 2000s. Recently, however, there has been a notable decrease in TC intensity forecast error and an increase in intensity forecast skill. This study documents these trends and discusses the advancements in TC intensity guidance that have led to the improvements in NHC’s intensity forecasts in the Atlantic basin.

Satellite data show that chlorophyll‐a concentration (Chl‐a) in the northeastern tropical Pacific is well correlated with sea level anomaly (SLA). This correlation spans a wide spectrum of scales from large‐scale phenomena like ENSO to mesoscale cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies. Negative SLA (e.g. during La Niña events and in cyclonic eddies) is associated with the lifting of isopycnals in the nutricline and increased Chl‐a due to enhanced phytoplankton growth, while positive SLA (e.g. during El Niño events and in anticyclonic eddies) is associated with a deeper nutricline and reduced Chl‐a due to decreased phytoplankton growth. The coupling between SLA and Chl‐a anomaly in the Costa Rica Dome (CRD) area is tighter than has previously been recorded anywhere in the world ocean. 70% of the interannual variations in Chl‐a anomaly in the CRD area is explained by a combination of the positive and negative effects of SLA.<|endoftext|>They provide the resources to turn great ideas into reality, and they are looking for the most talented and passionate individuals out there to be their next generation of leaders.

Terminalia bellerica Roxb. (Family: Combretaceae) has been valued in Indian system of medicine for treatment of wide range of diseases and reported to have antioxidant properties. In the present study, the free radical scavenging activity and antioxidant potential of acetone extract/fractions of its fruit was investigated using in vitro assays, including scavenging ability against 2,2'-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), beta-carotene bleaching inhibition, reducing power and chelating ability on Fe2+ ions. The fruit powder was extracted at room temperature with different solvents in the order of increasing and decreasing polarity to obtain crude acetone extract which was further partitioned with ethyl acetate and water (1:1). It was found that ethyl acetate fraction was more effective than crude acetone extract in all antioxidant assays, except chelating power which was highest in water fraction. Maximum antioxidant activities (expressed as EC50 values) observed were 14.56 microg/ml, 27.81 microg/ml and 67.8 microg/ml in DPPH, beta-carotene bleaching and reducing power assays, respectively. The antioxidant potential was compared with known antioxidant (butylated hydroxyl toluene) and correlated with total phenolic and flavonoid content |
Alex the receptionist who helped me a lot to solve a little problem I had. hotel is very well located and has a heated swimming pool, sauna and gym, it's impressive, it's worth it.
I have a large and clean room. The free breakfast is one of the best we have tried in the USA, without fritters, and with several alternatives. The hotel looks old with a good modern renovation. The guys at the reception are very nice and friendly.
Good location. You can walk everywhere. 15 min from Pike place and downtown. Only 10 min or less from space N. Repetitive breakfast but enough. Scrambled eggs, hamburgers, different types of bread, yogurt, fruit. Friendly staff.
I want to praise the facilities, location, and kindness of Naha, the Indian receptionist. The other two (in the afternoon) don't know how to treat European tourists and gave confusing information. Well soundproofed rooms, queen size beds, and a great bathroom. The hotel is just one year old. The area around is cool.
It's spectacular, it's VINTAGE. The staff is wonderful, both in reception, especially Nikki and Aisha, and also the guys who at the 24 hours reception are outstanding and spectacular. The room is an apartment: with a living room, a full kitchen, a perfect bathroom, excellent cleaning, very good breakfast. I clarify that it is VINTAGE. If you want something super modern, it is not this case. But I would always come back, for all the advantages it offers. Fantastic location, close to everything with excellent public transportation, that allows you to go everywhere. Very safe area, not like downtown, which I do not recommend. You can go out at night quietly. I completely approve this hotel.
They have a great American style breakfast. The hotel has drinks (coffee, infusions, cold water) in the common room at no extra charge at any time. The reception staff is very attentive at all times. The bed is king size and very comfortable. We stayed (3 people) in a family suite with living room and sofa bed. The kitchen (although we do not use it) seemed to us superior to the usual Aparthotels.
Ideal hotel for those looking for something close to the port (especially for embarking on cruises) and to go to the Downtown and Public Market in Seattle. Cleanliness and proper facilities. Low price for the area.
The location is perfect for those who need to be in the center, walking you can go almost anywhere. It has a restaurant with spectacular breakfasts next door. Then a Starbucks if you don't want to eat there.
The attention of the entire staff. The room is very spacious and comfortable, and very clean. Very good breakfast, varied and quality! Good fitness center. The swimming pool is not cold, but we are looking forward to it.
For the price it is, it's relatively close to the center. It's well connected with buses and there are bars and supermarkets nearby. The staff is very attentive, and it is as clean as possible considering how old and worn out everything is.<|endoftext|>Join us in Austin, Texas - February 18-19, 2020 for Machine Learning Apps in Finance, Tech & Healthcare.

ayer, chief marketing officer at Helios Solutions, which provides advisors with asset management and estate planning services.
Budget constraints may disadvantage smaller advisors, agrees Timothy Welsh, president of San Francisco-based consulting firm Nexus Strategy. He says the marketing playing field may be skewed in favor of larger firms with more to spend.
Welsh expects endorsements to bifurcate for advisors based on their size. He envisions clients vouching for the smaller independent firms and big celebrities endorsing the major brands.
Derek Hernquist, head of advisor experience at Aptus Capital Advisors, says he would prefer having testimonials by actual clients over celebrity endorsements anyway.
“We may consume the same drink or wear the same shoe as a celebrity, but most wouldn’t expect to consume the same financial advice, so it’s hard to see the value [in celebrity endorsements],” he tells FA-IQ in an email.
“Leave that to national brands paying to wow prospects with name-dropping,” he adds.
Twenty Over Ten’s Russell shares Hernquist's sentiment about the value of celebrity endorsements in the advisory business.
“I don’t think for the average consumer that is going to move the needle as much as people think,” she says.
And that’s likely particularly the case in the private wealth space, says Helios’ Bayer.
Bayer says he’s “not sure … how many millionaires are going to move $5 million accounts based off of Dwayne Johnson’s Instagram post,” citing an example.
Meanwhile, Northwestern Mutual seems to have already received a celebrity endorsement. FA-IQ reached out to Northwestern Mutual for comments for this story but didn’t receive a reply as of this writing.
Actor Anthony Anderson, whose IMDB credits include the television show "Blackish," had a “paid partnership with Northwestern Mutual” post on Instagram on December 31 about the importance of financial planning and working with a firm’s financial advisor.
“I’ll be sharing more soon from conversations with my @northwesternmutual advisor and I hope you’ll follow along and do it with me,” the actor wrote.
Since celebrity endorsements are likely going to be less accessible to small firms, they may find more success via reviews from clients and social media engagement, according to marketing specialists.
Nexus’ Welsh says advisors should “stop playing defense,” noting that those who have been nervous about reviews or endorsements from clients on social media can relax.
Advisors connecting with clients on social media like LinkedIn or Facebook, where client comments could be considered testimonials, would be “be fantastic for their business,” says Twenty Over Ten’s Russell.
While engaging with clients on social media “brings a compliance burden that favors larger firms,” it “also gives advisors of all sizes the ability to meet prospects where they are,” says Aptus Capital’s Hernquist.
Advisors need not shy away from sending clients automated emails after their yearly meetings, linking to their Google Business page and asking clients to leave a review, Russell says.
“People don’t realize Google reviews — how much they impact search engine optimization. So now, new people can find you so much easier when you have a higher percentage of Google reviews,” she says.
Russell recommends advisors check with their compliance and legal experts prior to rolling out a new marketing strategy, however.
Compliance will play a huge role in the celebrity endorser’s relationship with a firm, according to Helios’ Bayer.
Compliance experts, consultants and industry executives have raised concerns about testimonials and endorsements potentially resulting in SEC exams. Some have noted that the rule changes remain open to interpretation and, thus, some firms may choose to interpret them conservatively.
Helios’ Bayer has reservations about the potential success of reviews, however.
He says the relationship advisors share with clients is unlike a consumer shopping on Amazon and, therefore, reviews may have limited appeal.
“While the review might be nice, I don’t think it’s going to be something that pushes you over the edge,” he says.

I don't think I'd wear them with jeans, but I'm sure they'd go great with nice casual pants, dress pants, or a suit.
Why, with overalls, of course. After all, they're brown, which means they're farmer's shoes.
Seriously, it's a very dressy pattern. You could wear them with nice trousers, but that's as casual as I'd go. They'd also look good with sportcoats and suits.
Yes, yes, and yes. But I'm probably the exception when it comes to the jeans part.
On a side note, I received the 2004/2005 C&J catalogue today. There's a good 7 or 8 handgrade models not listed in my 2002/2003 catalogue or, for that matter, on PLAL.

Without the hole punching on the toe I think jeans would be fine. However, as they are sold in stores, I think Weymouths are too .... something .... fancy? .... for jeans. With suits, trousers, et cetera, no problem.
on the toe - if I saw it in my size, I would've bought a pair to wear with jeans and dress shirts. Barrett have a similar - but much further out of my price range - boot. The Weymouths are probably too dressy for jeans, but I guess you'll never know until you try. I'm thinking a very hip pair of boot-cut, dark distressed jeans could work - something 'sophisticated', but not some old faded 501s - more 'workwear'.
sorry, just pulling my foot out of my mouth. I didn't mean to group all shoes with medallions/toe punching as strictly dress shoes. Not by any means; one of my favorite pairs is a EG/RLPL Sussex/? with a floating, sort of horizontal medallion.
Which boots were these? EG-sourced RL?
Add a mediallion, a couple of eyelets, and get rid of the Berluti shine and you have the Weymouths.
And I almost forgot to get rid of the Berluti price tag.

Settings | keyboard Shortcuts | ...
Ctrl+Alt+S: this changes the size of the active window, but how to change it?
I was often struggling in such situations. Therefore, I hope someone could give me an idea, how to find out where a shortcut is set.
This must list all shortcuts with the 'T', but i think it does not.
When I try to set a combination Ctrl+Alt+SHIFT+T in a tool for a shortcut, the tool does not receive the combinations.
So, my original question looks like still open, how can i find all combinations?
You can try gsettings list-recursively.
That should list your application settings, same as seen in dconf.
Maybe try grep a pattern like the key combination grep '<Alt><Control>s'.
The key order is not that consistent and you might need try some more variant or less strict pattern like grep '>s'.
I don't have Ctrl+Alt+S on my machine but here is a similar example when grep for '>u' on my machine.
Then I can check this path org.freedesktop.ibus.panel.emoji in dconf-edidor.

Thank you both for this! I managed to trace the rise of the enemy's horns to $055f, but that doesn't seem to tell me anything about the sprites for said horns, which are what I'm looking for. I've looked in Mesen, and it says that the tiles for them are located between $0e00 and $0e90. I want to find where the tile data for these sprites is in vanilla Rockman 2 so that I can fix it in the hack I'm working on. I don't understand how CHR RAM and OAM correspond to the ROM file. Could you provide any more detailed guidance about what I should do next?

The story involves Max Polito, a renown ufologist, bent on disclosing to the world the identities of a select group of these beings. His exploits lead him to an "Everborn" reborn into society as a pair of twins, one possessing an eternal soul and one who does not, one predominantly good and the other a vicious serial killer, each one on a personal quest to unlock their ancient inner secrets.
When "Scratch", the evil twin, joins forces with a primordial beast to annihilate the alien race and dominate all of mankind, it is up to Polito and a mysterious "alien grey" known only as "the Watcher" to launch a covert operation to thwart the apocalyptic conflict.
<|endoftext|>Percutaneous interventions for vascular dialysis access.
A prerequisite for the long-term patency of vascular access is early detection of a failing shunt, i.e., at the stage of stenosis. Fistulography performed to locate the lesion is followed by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty using a balloon catheter. The procedure takes 30-60 minutes to complete; the clinical success rate varies between 85% and 98%. A more serious condition of failled vascular access is its occlusion secondary to thrombosis. The high costs of hospitalisation and treatment of thrombosed shunts require effective yet less invasive outpatient procedures. Recent years have seen an explosion in the development of mechanical devices on the principle of mechanical dissolution, fragmentation, and aspiration of the clot. Post-procedural dialysis can be performed immediately thus reducing the need for a central venous catheter. The procedure, particularly in the treatment of native fistula occlusion, is more complicated and about twice as time consuming as treatment of stenosis. The clinical success rate is usually between 71% and 100%. The incidence of serious complications of percutaneous treatment is low.<|endoftext|>A Spanish word for Wagnerian is listed below.

The core of the data reconstruction in the CBM experiment [1] is the Kalman filter (KF). Therefore, the speed of KF based algorithms is of crucial importance in on-line data processing. One of processors features, which can speed up the algorithm, is a SIMD instruction set [2], which allows to pack several data items in one register and to operate on all of them in one go, thus achieving more operations per clock cycle. A standalone benchmark have been written for development of Kalman Filter based algorithms [3]. It uses the interface header for SIMD instructions. A useful interface for SIMD instructions has been recently created. This is the vector classes (Vc) library [4]. It supports all types of CPU’s instructions, and also the GPU’s LRBni instructions set. Thus, Vc usage expands development possibilities for benchmark. In order to implement vector classes into the SIMD KF fit benchmark some types and constants have been redefined to use correspondent Vc types. Also the procedure for input data packing into the SIMD vectors has been added.<|endoftext|>Generalized maximum likelihood estimators for the nonstationary generalized extreme value model
The objective of the present study is to develop efficient estimation methods for the use of the GEV distribution for quantile estimation in the presence of nonstationarity. Parameter estimation in the nonstationary GEV model is generally done with the maximum likelihood estimation method (ML). In this work, we develop the generalized maximum likelihood estimation method (GML), in which covariates are incorporated into parameters. A simulation study is carried out to compare the performances of the GML and the ML methods in the case of the stationary GEV model (GEV0), the nonstationary case with a linear dependence of the location parameter on covariates (GEV1), the nonstationary case with a quadratic dependence on covariates (GEV2), and the nonstationary case with linear dependence in both location and scale parameters (GEV11). Simulation results show that the GLM method performs better than the ML method for all studied cases. The nonstationary GEV model is also applied to a case study to illustrate its potential. The case study deals with the annual maximum precipitation at the Randsburg station in California, and the covariate process is taken to be the Southern Index Oscillation.<|endoftext|>A new genus and species of mud snake from Myanmar (Reptilia, Squamata, Homalopsidae).
Based on two male and two female individuals, we describe a new genus and species of mud snake, Myanophis thanlyinensis gen. nov., sp. nov., from the vicinity of the campus of East Yangon University, Yangon, Thanlyin, Myanmar. This species differs from every other homalopsid species by the following combination of characters: (1) dorsal scales smooth, row formula 21-21-19 or 21-21-17; (2) tail short, ratio tail length/SVL 0.185-0.204 in males, 0.160-0.167 in females; (3) nasal scales separated; (4) 125-126 ventral scales in males, 120-122 in females; (5) 38-39 subcaudal scales in males, 32-34 in females; and (6) hemipenis bilobed. Its matrilineal genealogy (based on analyses of 16S and cytochrome b sequences), associates Myanophis thanlyinensis gen. nov., sp. nov. most closely with species of the genera Myrrophis and Gyiophis. The new taxon differs from the species of Myrrophis and Gyiophis by having a bilobed hemipenis (vs. unilobed). Myanophis thanlyinensis gen. nov., sp. nov. differs further from the species of Myrrophis by having 125-126 ventral scales in males and 120-122 in females (vs. 137-162 and 137-164, respectively), and 38-39 subcaudal scales in males and 32-34 in females (vs. 39-55 and 37-52, respectively). Myanophis thanlyinensis gen. nov., sp. nov. differs further from the species of Gyiophis by lacking dark blotches along flank (vs. present), and by having 21 dorsal scales rows at midbody (vs. 25). We provide an identification key to the homalopsid species known to occur in Myanmar. As a novelty to the classic holotype description and characterization, the individual has been genome sequenced by Illumina short-read technology and its genome has been assembled into a draft nuclear genome and a complete, annotated mitochondrial genome. This innovative approach comprehensively and permanently characterizes the genomic variation of the holotype.<|endoftext|>Legal Issues in the Digital Age

Undergraduate science students spend a substantial amount of time working in their laboratory groups, and instructors want to make evidence-based decisions on how to best set up these groups. Despite several studies on group composition, the evidence appears to be quite context-specific, and very little has been published about lab groups. Further, many studies focus solely on conceptual learning; however, the lab is an important venue for also supporting non-content outcomes such as confidence, process skills, team skills, and attitudes. Thus, in our introductory course on molecules, cells, and physiology we were interested in the impact of group composition, on a spread of student outcomes. Students were either placed into groups by the instructor, or self-selected into groups. To assess the impact of group composition on student outcome, we collected pre/post data from >500 students over 2 semesters. Our measures assess conceptual knowledge, confidence in lab skills, attitudes toward group learning, lab grades, gender, year of study, and (via open-ended questions) student perspectives. Using a multiple regression approach, we established models that predict student outcomes based on their individual attributes and on their lab group attributes. Surprisingly, the hetero/homogeneity of the initial group, and whether the groups were student- or instructor-selected, did not affect student outcomes in these models. Further MANCOVA analysis demonstrated that student interaction outside of the lab time was the strongest predictor of positive student attitudes toward group learning. Student perspectives on group formation are mixed, and suggest that a simple and flexible choice approach may best support our students. Overall, these findings have clear implications for our course design and instructional choices |
inference. Finally, rescaled confidence intervals (3.5) based on lower thresholds can have a much better coverage than confidence intervals based on higher thresholds.
We first consider daily log-returns on the S&P500 stock market index between 1995-01-01 and 2005-01-01 taken from Yahoo Finance111http://finance.yahoo.com/. In Figure 3, we plot the sample spectral tail process based on the backward estimator with 98% empirical quantile taken as a threshold and the 80% confidence intervals from the multiplier bootstrap scheme rescaled via the 95% quantile as threshold as in (3.5). The estimated index of regular variation is ^α=4.31. The left-hand plot corresponds to conditioning on a positive extreme at the current time instant, whereas the right-hand plot corresponds to conditioning on a negative shock. The former plot indicates much weaker serial extremal dependence than the latter one: negative shocks are more persistent than positive ones. This characteristic is shared by other stock’s daily returns which were tested but not reported here.
Figure 3: Sample spectral tail process (solid black line) for S&P500 daily log-returns based on the backward estimator. The gray area corresponds to the 80% confidence intervals for the pre-asymptotic spectral tail probabilities based on the multiplier bootstrap with 1000 replications. The horizontal dashed line corresponds to the pre-asymptotic spectral tail probabilities under independence.
Both models allow for volatility clustering in the limit. Additionally, the APARCH model captures asymmetry in the volatility of returns. That is, volatility tends to increase more when returns are negative, as compared to positive returns of the same magnitude if γ1>0. The asymmetric response of volatility to positive and negative shocks is well known in the finance literature as the leverage effect of the stock market returns (Black, 1976) .
We fit those two models to daily log-returns of the S&P500 index. We use the garchFit function from the fGarch library available in R, the function being based on maximum likelihood estimation (Wuertz et al., 2013) . The innovations, Zt, are assumed to be standard normally distributed. The fitted parameters are given in the top part of Table 1.

We had a very solid week at Cheltenham, picking out some well-priced winners, so let's hope for more of the same this week.
Here are the race-by-race selections for the first of the three-day meeting.
Ran a cracker to finish six lengths behind Altior in the Arkle at Cheltenham last month. He stayed on really well that day under Brian Hughes and jumped superbly. The step up in trip should suit as he was doing his best work at the finish that day. I remember talking to both his jockey and trainer Malcolm Jefferson after that event and they were confident Aintree would play to his strengths.
Top Notch is a massive danger but he had a tough race when finishing a superb length to Yorkhill in the JLT Novices' Chase. I just think Cloudy Dream might have a touch of class and win the first race of the meeting.
2.20pm G1 Doom Bar Anniversary 4-Y-O Juvenile Hurdle - Defi Du Seuil 1/3.
Difficult to oppose the four-year-old son of Voix Du Nord here. Very impressive in all six of his starts in Britain, which culminated with a facile five length success in the JCB Triumph Hurdle last time, he rates as the one to beat and looks to be getting better with every race.
He jumped and travelled like a top-class horse at Cheltenham last time and he can win this race before setting his sights on some major targets next season.
I just have a feeling this could be the son of King's Theatre's swansong. Arguably beaten when falling at the third-last fence in the Cheltenham Gold Cup for the second year in a row last time out, you could say he again didn't have a massively hard race there despite being under pressure as the race had not reached the business end. He won this race easily last year and whilst he is a year older, I still think he is capable of winning this quite renewal of the event.
Tough to oppose the Champion Hurdle winner. Won well at Cheltenham and also won at this meeting last year after finishing third in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle. He has to prove as effective over this trip of two miles and four furlongs but I still think he takes all the beating in a race that sees him take on horses in My Tent Or Yours and The New One which he beat at Prestbury Park last time.
Did not run his best race in the Foxhunters at Cheltenham where he was only fourth, unable to quicken with the horses in front of him. He loves these fences and I think he will take a lot of beating despite being 12-years-old. Foxhunters winner Pacha Du Polder should arguably enjoy this trip more but the same notion can also be applied to Enda Bolger's son of Exit To Nowhere - he gets my support.
4.40pm G3 Betway Red Rum Handicap Chase - Bun Doran 12/1 and Foxtail Hill 11/1.
I gave Tom George's charge for a novices' handicap chase at Cheltenham and he ran a belter to finish sixth. He jumped pretty well that day and the drop back in trip to two miles should really suit him.
I also gave Foxtail Hill for that event and he made a clumsy error and fell. If he has suffered no ill effects from that fall, he should arguably be pretty fresh, having not really had a tough race. Has a decent claimer on board and I would be disappointed if he could not attack his fences and make all over two miles which should allow him to get his rivals on the stretch in a race like this.
Brian Ellison does well with his bumper horses and this four-year-old daughter of Rail Link has done nothing wrong in four starts, winning three and only just being unable to give weight all around at Wetherby in January when losing by a neck. She has the assistance of Richard Johnson today and she looks a real player.<|endoftext|>I lent my computer to my younger brother for a few days while I went away.

Be it a flower pot on a windowsill growing sage or dill, a corner of a yard, or a farm.
I'm one of those people with a brown thumb, but thankfully Kahalu`u Mauka is VERY forgiving.
My wife has herbs in pots as well as in the garden proper. She also enjoys flowers of different varieties, incl. roses, crownflowers for the butterflies, gingers: red, pink, torch, Greene's (rare), yellow, shampoo, hybrids with jungle queen, jungle queen.
Fruits: Rainbow papaya, apple bananna, williams bananna, Cuban Red, starfruit (ugh!), limes, lemons, oranges (few), coffee, macnuts, coconuts, bamboo shoots, strawberry guava, pomelo, `ohia a`i (mountain apple), creamy avocado.
Oh, and pigs and ants....
We try to use it or lose it, give lots away to neighbors and friends in season. We used to sell flowers, but no more.
Anyone else gardening?
Re: What does YOUR garden grow?
high winds of winter knocked down about 15 of them and they've yet to return.
Sadly, mostly gardening in my dreams now...I do have three orchids and a rosemary bush. Condo container gardening; I can't keep up with the watering needs, so I have to replant the basil. It does grow like crazy, though!
I have considered hiring on to the local farmers to help. Every walk I take I am busy checking out the plants and trees.
Oh, did I tell you I have ants, too? They seem to like my Terro baits, so far. And the spiders stay busy.
I'd like to make a nice potted herb garden. If I plant the herbs directly into the ground, something eats them right quick.
I have a container garden on my deck and am growing sage, basil, cilantro, chives, rosemary, roma tomatoes, strawberries, some flowers, coleus, and a few plants whose names I can't remember.
A few years ago I would never have thought I would enjoy or be good at gardening, but to my surprise I experimented with a few things and it actually worked! Isn't it neat when you discover new things about yourself? I would love to have a speck of my own dirt to grow things in, but I'm glad to at least have a deck where I can grow the above.
We've got potted basil, rosemary, okinawan spinach, green onion, chives, chili pepper. My hub tried growing veggies... at one point, we had a good supply of eggplant, tomatoes, escarole, bell peppers, etc. Then, we found ourselves feedling all the bugs on the island and gave up.
We've got pears and apples, strawberries, blackcurrents and gooseberries, rhubarb, and some experimental goji berries. Tomatoes in the greenhouse, and a green pepper that's not doing very well. Roses, and right now, the neighbor's mock orange hanging over the fence and perfuming everything. A squirrel who drives the dog crazy.
My sister managed to grow a banana outdoors in London. It was MASSIVE, with dozens of keiki, but never fruited. It took over, and had to go in the end.
I have everything and anything you could want and moa.

Reality >>> Weeds and Moa Weeds.
Come help me clean. Pretty plezzzzz.
Air Growers Of America?
I gave cherry toms a shot once but they didn't survive the long haul.
Re: Air Growers Of America?
In our little garden we grow a pineapple, basil, rosemary, a few kinds of tomatoes, hawaiian peppers, habanero peppers, oregano, thyme, cuban oregano, and parsley. We've totally been slacking with the garden lately and it's got choke weeds right now.
We have many different trees; Manila palm, areca palm, really tall and skinny evergreen (don't know name), and guava. I recently sprayed the guava with some insecticide and it's doing really good now.
We also have several hibiscus and about 60 feet of a certain flowering bush with a name that escapes me. The bush has long and sharp thorns on it and really pretty purple and white flowers.
Pots: cymbidium orchids, phalenopsis orchids, schomberkia orchids, cilantro, thyme, rosemary, lemon grass, basil, italian parsley, kiwi, jackfruit, heliconia, ginger (I think, kahili), dracena, 4 types cactus, madagascar palm, pineapples asparagus fern, sword fern, yellow canna, deciduous redwoods, pine trees, spider plants, pothos, swedish ivy, aloe, airplane plants, staghorn fern w/Spanish Moss trailing from it, Ponytail palm, Sago palm, passion flower, lilacs, deadly nightshade.
Trees: Naval Orange, Meyer Lemon, Key Lime, Hass Avocado, Macadamia Nut, many varieties Banana & Plantain, Solo Papaya, Babaco Papaya, Catalpa.
Yard: Elephant Ears, bromeliads, ferns, cannas, Stephanotis, 5 types gingers (no Greene's! auwe.... ), many palms, hydrangea, Bird of Paradise, and Giant Bird of Paradise.
Summer Garden: Thompson seedless grapes, rhubarb, Maui onions, 3 types tomatoes, Japanese cucumber, burpless cucumber, peanuts, potatoes, zucchini, eggplant, jalepeno peppers, green bell peppers, spinach, radish, bibb lettuce, and strawberries. I hope to improve and increase by winter's garden time. I know I forgot stuff, as I'm not near my home now.
BTW, I follow the Jorge Garcia (Hurley from LOST) blog, and he is an avid gardener; he says he tried a lot of the upside-down, Topsy Turvy type plants, and said don't waste your money. Happy Growing!<|endoftext|>Home > News > 2015: Year of the Cumshots?
2015: Year of the Cumshots?
Two releases in the last couple of months! Orchestrated Dystopia released one of our tracks on their second vinyl compilation (available direct from us or from Orchestrated Dystopia Records). And Countdown to a Breakdown was the title track for Garage Punk Hideout’s Best of Volume 10. Both awesome collections so you should get them!
Some exciting things coming up for 2015 for us… including our debut appearance at Rebellion Punk Music Festival in August in Blackpool. Sure – Theo has played there with the Long Tall Texans. And Steve and Viki played last year with Glitter Trash. But 2015 is Year of the Cumshots; all three of us on the stage at once. You’ve been warned!
In other news, we recorded 4 new tracks at Transmission Studios in December and we are just looking at how to release them. We have the urge for vinyl, but we’ll see how finances go. We love the new songs though – one written by Theo, one written by Steve and two written by Viki – so something fresh all ’round!

atmospheric correction provides bottom-of-atmosphere (or: surface) reflectances. band10, the “cirrus” band, is what is sometimes also called an atmospheric or sounder band. The atmosphere in this spectral region is optically opaque, ie the sensor does not receive signals from the surface but only from the atmosphere itself, hence no surface signal can be inferred.
I am bit confused about which resolution will I select that is why I selected “All” option. Can u guide me about the parameters ? like which resolution should I take, what is the meaning of watermask 0,1,2 etc ???
for band-10 I am agree with u but what about band-8 ? why this is missing ???

In data communication networks and the Internet, there is a growing need for more transmission resources due to the massive and increasing consumption of video transmission services. An alternative to reduce this requirement is the application of video coding such as MPEG-DASH. In this study, an evaluation of the performance of the DASH mechanism over streaming video is performed. For this, the structural similarity index is used, a WAN distribution scenario is implemented through the WANem platform and the procedure is validated with a quality of experience (QoE) evaluation model. The results obtained show a high efficiency of DASH coding in video transmission.<|endoftext|>The influence of reviewer's occupation on the skill assessment of urethrovesical anastomosis in robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy

The donation, among total support of VNĐ22 billion from MUFG Japan and Vietinbank, was given to Vũ Hồng Nam, Vietnamese Ambassador to Japan, to support the students. The two sides also discussed ways to distribute the money to Vietnamese students quickly, effectively and suitably with the programme’s target.
Vietinbank said it expected the donation would support the students and encourage them to complete their studies. It would also enhance co-operation between Vietinbank and MUFG as well as members of MUFG's global strategic partner network.
Earlier, Vietinbank donated VNĐ10 billion to the Government to buy medical supplies and equipment for the Ministry of Health in fighting the COVID-19, sponsoring five ventilators for Bạch Mai Hospital.
The bank has provided VNĐ26,000 rice gifts amounting to VNĐ2 billion for people in difficult situations due to the pandemic. It also donated VNĐ15 billion for Đà Nẵng City and Quảng Nam and Hải Dương provinces for COVID-19 prevention.
<|endoftext|>Research into practice: The task-based approach to instructed second language acquisition
This article discusses the phenomenon of task-based language teaching (TBLT) in instructed additional language settings. It begins from the premise that, despite considerable theoretical and empirical support, TBLT remains a contested endeavour. Critics of TBLT argue that, particularly with regard to time-limited foreign language instructional contexts, TBLT's learner-centred and experiential approach to second language acquisition fails to provide an adequately structured environment that allows for sufficient exposure to frequent language, and processing and practising of grammatical form. At the same time, differences emerge between how TBLT is conceptualised in theory and how TBLT is operationalised practically in many additional language classrooms. These realities signal the need to look at the interface between theory, research and practice. The article considers what current research into TBLT has not succeeded in getting through to classrooms, what has succeeded in getting through reasonably well, and what has been over-applied. It is concluded that the under- and over-application of theory and research in practice highlight the difficulty in identifying exactly what TBLT is or should be in instructed contexts. The article proposes a way forward to strengthen the effectiveness of the TBLT endeavour.<|endoftext|>EYA2 upregulates miR-93 to promote tumorigenesis of breast cancer by targeting and inhibiting the STING signaling pathway.
Herein, we used DIANA TOOLS, GEPIA and other bioinformatics databases to predict regulatory pathways in breast cancer. Accordingly, we clarified the regulatory mechanism of EYA2 on miR-93 expression to aggravate breast cancer, which was involved with the STING signaling pathway. CCK-8 assay, scratch test, Transwell assay, and flow cytometry were applied to detect cell viability, migration, invasion, and apoptosis. The experimental data found that EYA2 was highly expressed in breast cancer tissues and cells and associated with poor prognosis. Overexpression of miR-93 in breast cancer was positively correlated with EYA2. EYA2 promoted miR-93 expression, advanced breast cancer cell proliferation and inhibited their apoptosis. Results of luciferase assay showed that miR-93 was enriched in the STING 3'UTR |

T he author intends to present a historical reconstruction of the problem concerning the balance of powers between dominant minorities and disjoint majorities, within the groups of companies. For this purpose, the author has analyzed: the economic literature by Adam Smith (1776) up to Lino Azzini (1968); some empirical cases representative of the different functions performed by the group corporate structures (vertical integration, diversification and international development); the main scholars of Italian legal literature (Vivante, Salandra, et al.). The aim pursued by the author is to seek the systematic causal links that exist between majorities and minorities, especially in order to demonstrate how, even in the changing of corporate governance systems, the same links have remained unchanged, at least starting from the original forms of limited liability (colonial companies): the cause of the oppression of minorities lies in the fact that the power of control, rather than being held by the bearers of the majority of the capital, resides in the hands of the cohesive minorities, with clear violation of the principle of corporate democracy.<|endoftext|>Evaluating the Potential for Harmonized Prediction and Comparison of Disposal‐Stage Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Biomaterial Products
The carbon footprint (CF) of biofuels and biomaterials is a barrier to their acceptance, yet the greenhouse gas emissions associated with disposing of biomaterials are frequently omitted from analyses. This article investigates whether harmonization is appropriate for calculating the importance of biomaterials’ disposal. This research shows that disposal stages could double a biomaterial's CF, or reduce it to the point that it could claim to be zero carbon. Incineration with combined heat and power coupled with on‐site energy production in the biorefinery are identified as prerequisites to being zero carbon. The article assesses the current UK waste infrastructure's ability to support a low‐carbon bio‐based future economy, and finds that presently it only achieves marginal net reductions when compared to landfill and so cannot be said to support low‐carbon biomaterials, though the article challenges the polluter pays principle where low‐carbon disposal infrastructure are not available. Reuse and recycling are shown to have the potential to offset all the emissions caused by landfill of biomaterials. However, the savings are not so great as to offset the biomaterial's upstream emissions. The study explores the ability to overcome the barriers to incorporating disposal into life cycle assessment while identifying limitations of using harmonization as an assessment method. Specifically, data availability and industry consensus are flagged as major barriers. The study also uses sensitivity analysis to investigate the influence of methodological choices, such as allowing additional reuse and recycling stages, classifying biomaterials into different types, and choosing between opposing allocation methods.<|endoftext|>Amplification of the c-erb B1 oncogene in chemically-induced oral carcinomas.
The hamster cheek pouch is an excellent model for the experimental induction of oral tumor by chemical carcinogens. We have previously shown that the cellular oncogene c-erb B1 is overexpressed in the cheek pouch of the Syrian hamster when transformed by the carcinogenic chemical dimethyl-benzanthracene (DMBA). Here we report that this cellular oncogene is amplified in one such chemically-induced oral carcinoma (HCP-T12) and in a cell line (HCPC-1) established from a similarly derived tumor. Furthermore we present preliminary evidence that the gene amplification is most likely through an extrachromosomal pathway. These data together suggest that the amplification of the c-erb B1 oncogene might be responsible for its overexpression in these chemically-induced oral carcinomas.<|endoftext|>[The natural history and complications of esophageal cancer].
Squamous cell carcinoma of the oesophagus has a poor prognosis, owing in part to the compromised status of the patients. Early oesophageal cancer is rarely diagnosed, even if its endoscopic aspects are well known. From the mucosa, the disease progresses step by step, and also via the submucosa. Furthermore, multiple locations are not uncommon. Bulky tumours progressively obstruct the oesophageal lumen while infiltrative tumours invade the oesophageal layers, and then the perioesophageal fat and the mediastinal organs. Involvement of mediastinal, cervical and abdominal lymph nodes occurs early. Distant metastases occur later. Complications are mainly due to the locoregional spread of the disease, leading to death.<|endoftext|>Anyone can take pictures these days, you don’t even need to subject yourself to the hassle of carrying a camera around: your phone is smarter than you and always readily available to fire away.
Ideally a photograph should mean a new way of seeing things, or a way to discover that which we have not seen before. Shooting old buildings in nice angles might seem like a rather shallow preoccupation of the Instagram generation- but it’s led me to become more aware of my surroundings, their history, and to ultimately form a different picture of myself.
As a child I often wondered as to which of my (then physically imagined) halves is Romanian and which is Hungarian, because, once I would discover the identity of my left side, I would know the nationality of my heart and would therefore belong somewhere.
And, quite logically, here comes architecture to save the day. The more I pointed my camera to buildings around Arad, the more they started to resemble those in Budapest, Vienna or Novi Sad. Smaller, a bit shabbier, a tad in disrepair, but it’s all connected- there’s an area of the world where people with often similar identity dilemmas lived, worked, created, and made a history which was not always the best or the smartest, but it’s the history we share and that stares back from us from the faces of the houses we built.
Yes Arad is perfectly nice but a bit disappointing compared to Timisoara and Oradea, but of course there’s no place like home.<|endoftext|>Efficiency of multi-breed genomic selection for dairy cattle breeds with different sizes of reference population.
Single-breed genomic selection (GS) based on medium single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) density (~50,000; 50K) is now routinely implemented in several large cattle breeds. However, building large enough reference populations remains a challenge for many medium or small breeds. The high-density BovineHD BeadChip (HD chip; Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA) containing 777,609 SNP developed in 2010 is characterized by short-distance linkage disequilibrium expected to be maintained across breeds. Therefore, combining reference populations can be envisioned. A population of 1,869 influential ancestors from 3 dairy breeds (Holstein, Montbéliarde, and Normande) was genotyped with the HD chip. Using this sample, 50K genotypes were imputed within breed to high-density genotypes, leading to a large HD reference population. This population was used to develop a multi-breed genomic evaluation. The goal of this paper was to investigate the gain of multi-breed genomic evaluation for a small breed. The advantage of using a large breed (Normande in the present study) to mimic a small breed is the large potential validation population to compare alternative genomic selection approaches more reliably. In the Normande breed, 3 training sets were defined with 1,597, 404, and 198 bulls, and a unique validation set included the 394 youngest bulls. For each training set, estimated breeding values (EBV) were computed using pedigree-based BLUP, single-breed BayesC, or multi-breed BayesC for which the reference population was formed by any of the Normande training data sets and 4,989 Holstein and 1,788 Montbéliarde bulls. Phenotypes were standardized by within-breed genetic standard deviation, the proportion of polygenic variance was set to 30%, and the estimated number of SNP with a nonzero effect was about 7,000. The 2 genomic selection (GS) approaches were performed using either the 50K or HD genotypes. The correlations between EBV and observed daughter yield deviations (DYD) were computed for 6 traits and using the different prediction approaches. Compared with pedigree-based BLUP, the average gain in accuracy with GS in small populations was 0.057 for the single-breed and 0.086 for multi-breed approach. This gain was up to 0.193 and 0.209, respectively, with the large reference population. Improvement of EBV prediction due to the multi-breed evaluation was higher for animals not closely related to the reference population. In the case of a breed with a small reference population size, the increase in correlation due to multi-breed GS was 0.141 for bulls without their sire in reference population compared with 0.016 for bulls with their sire in reference population. These results demonstrate that multi-breed GS can contribute to increase genomic evaluation accuracy in small breeds.<|endoftext|>The Cleveland Cavaliers announced on Wednesday that current college scout Brandon Weems is being promoted to be the Cavaliers’ new director of scouting. The move is likely to be seen as an early attempt to make sure that LeBron James finishes his playing career as a member of the Cavs, given the lifelong friendship between the two.
Cavs owner Dan Gilbert made the announcement on Wednesday in conjunction with a press conference that introduced the team’s new general manager Koby Altman and members of his staff. Among that group is Weems, who was one of James’ teammates when the two played basketball at St. Mary-St. Vincent High School in Akron, Ohio.

The nearest airport is Kochi International, 73 km from the boat, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service. I was Lucky to find place in this nice family run place. Im high season, nobodyvwanted to take me as a single person. I could also join a couple to do a half day canoe tour for rs. 2750/- It was also very nice. I will recommend this place.
The traditional houseboats, called "kettuvallams" have wood harvested from local jackfruit tree plantations, hand-stitched by local craftsmen with coconut fiber rope. We had 3 nights on xandari houseboats and could have happily stayed longer. Very relaxing to sit on the upper deck and watch the scenery go by. If you stay fewer nights you tend to be in the more crowded areas of the waterways, but we got to see much more of the area and were often the only boat around. The food was incredible (let them know ahead of time if you have dietary preferences) and all local dishes. The boat was very comfortable and the staff were lovely. We booked a 2 bedroom boat but ended up with a 3 bedroom, which was even better as included the upstairs deck.
OYO 22759 Houseboat Luxury Smart Gold 6 BHK is located in Alleppey, 7 km from Mullakkal Rajarajeswari Temple, 7 km from Alleppey Lighthouse, and 8 km from Nehru Trophy Finishing Point. It is set 8 km from Nehru Trophy Boat Race and offers a shared kitchen.
OYO 22647 Houseboat Triveni has a balcony and is located in Alleppey, within just 300 metres of Nehru Trophy Finishing Point and 1.7 km of Mullakkal Rajarajeswari Temple. It is situated 300 metres from Nehru Trophy Boat Race and features a shared kitchen.
The accommodation has a seating area. Towels and bed linen are offered. We had an amazing time on the houseboat, there were 3 staff at the boat and they are all very nice! The food was absolutely one of the best meals we have during the whole trip. The boat is clean and comfortable, and it really worth the money even it might be a bit more expensive than other houseboats, but you really can feel the high quality. Since you will probably only do this once, I’d highly recommend this as it was truly a good experience.
Situated in Alleppey, Soma Jyothi houseboats offers accommodation with a flat-screen TV.
A babysitting service is also available for guests at the boat. I was expecting a crappy little boat because I was traveling by myself but was totally surprised at how nice and comfortable the 1 bedroom boat was. The staff was friendly and eager to serve. The food was excellent and plentiful with many dishes available at each meal and all freshly made. I think one night was enough. The captain parked in a quiet spot as per my request and we also did some medium sized canals which are best for observing village life.
Set 80 metres from Nehru Trophy Boat Race, Harmony Houseboats offers accommodation with a restaurant, a shared lounge and room service for your convenience.
HARMONY HOUSEBOATS features a terrace.
Located a 3-minute walk from Nehru Trophy Boat Race and a 2-minute walk from Nehru Trophy Finishing Point, Soma House Boat offers accommodation in Alleppey. The accommodation features a spa bath.
Ambalapuzha Sree Krishna Temple is 13 km from the boat. The nearest airport is Kochi International Airport, 73 km from the property. We booked 2 night cruise and I can highly recommend to have more than just 1 night as it allows you to see many different areas in quiet and relaxed atmosphere and not just hundreds of other boats doing their day trip. Staff exceeded my expectations. They were never visible but always present providing high quality service proactively and when needed. Water bottles were always replenished, dishes cleared immediately after dining, mosquito nets lowered at right time etc. Shower had ok pressure and bathroom was functional. Food was excellent. Check-in was easy as we had Internet connection on phone and property provided their whatsapp contact details day before so we could send them a message when we arrived to harbour and they came to pick up us to the right boat. Not sure how it would work without though.
Situated in Alleppey in the Kerala region, with Nehru Trophy Boat Race and Nehru Trophy Finishing Point nearby, Soma Hamsam House Boat features accommodation with free private parking.
Mullakkal Rajarajeswari Temple is 1.8 km from Soma Hamsam House Boat, while Alleppey Lighthouse is 4.2 km from the property. The nearest airport is Kochi International, 73 km from the accommodation, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service. The experience of travelling on the backwaters by houseboat was unforgettable. The surroundings were beautiful. Our two members of the house boat crew were exceptional. We felt informed about the local area and the food that was prepared was truely a feast for ever meal.
The management. The hosts had planned all the details very carefully. The staff - Manish and other 2 guys ( sorry I don't recall their names) were great and humble boys. The had set the perfect ambience for dinner. Lovely music with good food. The houseboat stay is definitely one of the best experience of this Kerala Trip.

Pittsburgh Healthworx was never a pill mill, as alleged by the state attorney general’s office.

Nintendo always seems to wait until just before release to start hyping up its games. Sin & Punishment 2 is no exception to the rule, but at least it's getting quite a bit of attention now.
The company recently opened an official site for the game. Go there for a close up look at the world, characters, stages, and gameplay. The gameplay section has confirmation that the game will support both Classic Controller and GameCube Controller options, in addition to Wiimote and Wii Zapper.
You'll also find a couple of movies at the official site (click the little film reels in the lower left). The game's Wii.com special site also has a commercial.
Movies and screens are fine and all, but wouldn't you rather get some hands on play time in? Looks like Nintendo will be providing an opportunity for just that! Starting on the 17th, a demo of Sin & Punishment 2 will hit retailers nationwide. You can get a full list of locations at the official site.
It's not quite a downloadable demo, but this is definitely one game I won't mind heading out to a retailer to try.
Those without access to a participating retailer won't have to wait too long for a play chance, as Sin & Punishment 2 is due for release on October 29.

The Student-Faculty Summer Research Collaboration Program enables teams of Macalester faculty and students to engage in significant projects over a four to ten week period during the summer. Projects must be related to the faculty member's curricular, pedagogical, scholarly, or creative interests and should be planned and executed by the student and faculty member working together. The projects should be designed to permit completion of a substantial portion of the work during the summer and result in a creative product by the student to be completed by the end of the subsequent academic year.
Anyone interested should contact professors for possible collaboration opportunities.<|endoftext|>Her story was complicated and sad.
For three hours, she told the Christians about her years as a sex slave.
The Christians were in her country to fight for freedom for the enslaved. They were interviewing ladies who had once been held in sexual slavery so they could learn more about the modern-day slave trade (it's estimated there are over 35 million slaves in the world today).
When she finished her story of rape, abuse, and enslavement, one of the Christians responded, "Are you angry towards those people who abused you?"
"No," she said, "I'm angry at you. Where were you?"
She told the Christians that while she was being raped for years, they were somewhere else, not rescuing her. She went on to explain that today, there are millions of girls just like her and someone needs to save them.
Those words, "Where were you?" marked the man she spoke them to. As I listened to him tell this story to a room of people on Saturday, those words marked me, too.
I'll tell you where I'm at right now:
I'm sitting on a cushioned chair in an air conditioned room in Hong Kong. I'm typing on a Mac, while listening to music on my iPhone. I have on a $100 pair of tennis shoes.
I have a water bottle filled with fresh water next to me.
This stuff isn't bad.
God likes the I'm-gonna-bless-her-socks-off part of our relationship. He loves it, actually. But there are other parts of our relationship He loves just as much, like the let-her-feel-what-I'm-feeling-for-broken-people part.
God doesn't want me to stay in the air conditioning forever.
Sometimes, He wants me to get off the cushioned chair and go befriend a drug addict, a prostitute, a lonely college student, a sad next-door neighbor.
I know you know it, but I'm going to say it anyway. There are people dying right now because they don't have access to clean water to drink. There are other people dying because they haven't had a meal in weeks and their bodies have finally starved. There are child soldiers marching in armies, there are women in slavery being raped, there are children being sold.
I could go on for a long time, but will stop now.
I've said it once, I've said it 100 times, and I'm about to say it again: you don't have to look far to find someone who's in darkness. I think the people in darkness are asking something like this;
"Where are you?"
The world's got problems, folks. Lots of them. But you know what the beautiful hopeful mighty God has done? He sent His Son to rescue people out of the darkness. Those He's already rescued, He has filled with Light and said, "Now go show them who I am and that I want to rescue them out of darkness, too!"
And along the way, He lets us feel what He's feeling. Sometimes it hurts. But if we'll cry for the hurting, He'll turn those tears into action.
It's so easy to look away. It's so easy to pretend like sickening things aren't happening. And it's definitely easier to stay far away from the sickening things. But that's just not what God has asked His people to do. Instead, He's asked us to walk right up to them, to stare straight at them, and to put ourselves right in the midst of it all
(Luke 10:25-37). He invites us not to just look at those stuck in darkness, but to go be with them right where they're at, feel their pain, and escort them out. He's got new places for them that aren't crummy or dark at all.
"God, I give you permission to let me feel what You feel."
"God, I give you permission to send me to the hurting."
These are serious prayers to pray. He answers us.
"Walk a life of yielded love. Don't question Him. I've just learned to yield and say 'yes.'"

By
January 21, 2018
Youth lead the resistance to IMF austerity.
Every night and on some days since Jan. 3, thousands of Tunisians in all parts of the country have risen in resistance. They’ve attacked police stations, supermarkets, authorities — tax centers, municipalities, governorates — blocked trains and clashed with police and the military, who attacked the youths with tear gas and arrested nearly 800 people.
A new finance law pushed the people into the streets with one clear demand: We want a new budget! After a few days, protesters added a demand for jobs.
The International Monetary Fund only gives loans with draconian conditions. The most common are cutbacks of social programs and raising taxes to cut budget deficits — in other words, harsh austerity. The Tunisian government, bowing to the terms of the IMF loan, introduced a 2018 budget on New Year’s Day that raised taxes, prices on food and other essentials in ways that hit workers and the middle class particularly hard.
Workers and those just out of school were already suffering from high inflation and high unemployment — officially 30 percent for youth with a college degree.
They rallied not only in Tunis, the capital, but in the seaside |
the development of a sensitive method for fibrinogen assay is particularly important. Herein, we demonstrate a new color-coded single-particle detection (SPD) method for fibrinogen detection by using platelet membrane-coated fluorescent polystyrene nanoparticles (PNPs) as the probes. Due to the specific interactions between fibrinogen and integrin receptors on platelet membranes, PNPs can form aggregated structures in the presence of fibrinogen. Therefore, colocalization events between green and red PNPs and the corresponding Pearson's correlation coefficient vary with the concentrations of fibrinogen. The sensing ability shows a linear range of 30-300 μg mL-1 and a limit of detection (LOD) of 3.9 μg mL-1 (11.3 nM) for fibrinogen detection. Moreover, it has been validated that the proposed biosensor can selectively detect fibrinogen and shows a good performance in real sample applications.<|endoftext|>Inhibition of human immunodeficiency virus gene amplification by heparin
Gene amplification of virus-specific sequences is widely used as a method to detect or confirm human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. In this study we used an enzyme-linked affinity assay to quantify polymerase chain reaction products from whole blood, plasma, and separated mononuclear cells collected in the presence of four common anticoagulants: acid citrate dextrose, sodium EDTA, potassium oxalate, and sodium heparin. Attenuation of the product signal was observed after amplification of nucleic acid extraction from whole blood, washed mononuclear cells, and plasma from specimens collected in sodium heparin. These inhibitory effects on gene amplification could be reversed with heparinase. The addition of as little as 0.05 U of heparin completely inhibited amplification of an HLA-DQa sequence from placental DNA. We conclude that heparin can cause attenuation or inhibition of gene amplification. Acid citrate dextrose and EDTA, which lack inhibitory activity, are the most appropriate anticoagulants for clinical blood samples when polymerase chain reaction amplification is anticipated.<|endoftext|>[Teaching practices and the position concerning medical education].
OBJECTIVE
Estimate the degree of development of a position concerning medical education, in a phisician population.
METHODS
We carried out a cross-sectional study at with 1580 physicians; we selected 395 participants by non-proportional stratified sampling of an IMSS health facility; 244 (62 %) was medical professors, included 15 physicians responsible for education. A previously validated instrument was applied to these participants. Three indicators were evaluated: agreement in general, most popular trend, and consequence. Group grading was done blindly. Kuder-Richardson test was utilized to calculate the value of internal instrument consistency and nonparametric statistics < 0.05.
RESULTS
Answering tendency in agreement were similar among physicians; heads or managers were statistically significant. The most popular trend was participative. In terms of consequence in physicians, there were some without consequent sentences in pair.
CONCLUSIONS
The most popular trend was participative, although it would appear that this has not been pondered, in that on exploring the indicator, that of consequence. Teaching practices do not have any significant influence on the development of a position concerning medical education.<|endoftext|>The Transversus Abdominis Plane Block in Healthy Volunteers: A Reply to Dr Hebbard
To the Editor: We thank Dr Hebbard for his interest in and comments regarding our work. We used the approach originally described by Dr Hebbard et al in our study because it is widely used, and there is some confusion and debate on the best way to block the nerves in the transversus abdominis plane (TAP). As Dr Hebbard mentions, our point of injection might have been too far from the location of the anterior branches of the L1 nerves, the ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerves, to anesthetize them. Studies of the cutaneous innervation after TAP blocks indicate that the TAP is not a space where correctly placed local anesthetic will spread unhindered but rather a virtual space with unpredictable adhesions and individual variations. We believe that the unpredictable spread in the TAP might be an important limitation to single point injection. The oblique subcostal TAP block described by Hebbard et al is a promising approach that facilitates a more extensive spread in the TAP because the plane is hydrodissected. The pain mechanism is another important issue.We tend to focus on the innervation of the skin, but it is likely to be more important that nociception from deeper tissues than the skin is blocked. Muscle relaxation and immobilization of the abdominal wall caused by the TAP block may also be important factors. Our study was conducted in healthy volunteers to avoid confounding factors and demonstrates only the effect on the<|endoftext|>Depth Distribution of Soil Organic Carbon Fractions in Relation to Tillage and Cropping Sequences in Some Dry Lands of Punjab, Pakistan
Depth distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) fractions depends on the efficiency of agro‐technical managements. Information on depth distribution of SOC fractions mostly confined to the plow layer and scant in dry lands of Punjab, Pakistan. Therefore, a field experiment was laid out with moldboard plow (MP) (control), tine cultivator (TC), and minimum tillage (MT) as main plots, and cropping sequences fallow wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), (FW, control), mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) wheat (MW), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) wheat (SW), green manure wheat (GW), and mungbean‐chickpea (MC) (Cicer arietinum L.) as sub‐plots. Treatment effects were assessed for microbial biomass carbon (MBC), potentially mineralizeable carbon (PMC), particulate organic carbon (POC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), HCl insoluble carbon (HIC), and stratification ratio (SR) in Rawal series: Udic Haplustalf. Alfisols. The MBC concentration was the highest in MT system, at 15 to 30‐cm depth under MW and PMC concentration was highest under SW with MT at 45–60 cm. MP had higher POC in FW sequence. The highest DOC was at 0 to 15‐cm depth under MC with TC and stock of HIC was more under TC with FW sequence. The highest SR of PMC was under MT with FW at 0–15:15–30 and POC was under TC and MP with FW at depths of 0–15:45–60 cm. The highest SR for DOC was under MP with GW at 0–15:45–60 cm and HCl insoluble C was under MT with SW at 0–15:45–60. In broad‐spectrum, labile organic fractions revealed differential sensitivity, and POC stocks are also a sensitive indicator to detect the short‐management effects.

Mark Warner (D-VA) used an October 2 Washington Post opinion column to rededicate himself to gun control and list certain types of firearms and accessories that he wants to ban.
Warner began by admitting he voted against an “assault weapons” ban and he expressed sorrow for having opposed it.
More than once in the column Warner voiced support for universal background checks, including the mention of his vote for universal checks following the attack on Sandy Hook Elementary School. He described such checks as “the single most effective way to begin to stem the tide of gun violence in the United States” but did not mention that nearly every mass shooter of recent memory acquired his or her firearms via a background check.
<|endoftext|>I have been walking on sunshine since my marathon… and even though it’s been 3 weeks it’s hard to believe it really happened. I have one of those Timex stick-on fake digital watches in my fridge that says 3:27:44; whenever I see it, I think someone must have done that. Not me.
I am not sure why I never give myself any kind of credit as a runner, but it is what it is.
I was forced to stop saying I was slow and not a good runner since I was BQing in every marathon. I stopped saying “no, really, I am really really slow” because people would get upset, but I never really moved on from that mentality. I think it’s because I am in this for what it brings into my life and I don’t want to risk losing any of it, getting trapped looking at numbers.
So, it’s quite surprising what is happening now. Sunday morning, I caught myself going back to look at my marathon splits, after 3 weeks. They are just so beautiful. And I still have no clue how I managed to do it. And, on the other hand, it all feels so normal now. It is very confusing. Could it be? Could I really by ok with the runner I’ve become? Maybe I can actually care a bit about being a “faster” runner and still keep the FUN part going? Can I really be this?
Last week, I only managed two runs. A 2-mile hill rep run, and a 3-mile hill sprints (lack of time!) so by Saturday I was ready to go! I did the unthinkable: Mile reps + longish run + by myself + on the briddle path. I don’t usually run by myself on the weekends, but had a lot of time constraints so I had no choice: added the mile reps to keep it interesting. Managed 3 miles at 5K pace, on dirt, which makes them a bit slower, so… GREAT. I added a few hilly loops to get to 9 and felt GREAT. Really? Is this what being in shape is like? I felt SO fantastic. Recovered from a marathon where I threw it all in, in 3 weeks, another PR. And I can now keep my stride fluid, and manage a |
’s time to step back, (further back) to take in a new view, to change-up the framing. Let’s start with some basics. 1. Police officers are no more good, or bad, than the general population. 2. Nor are they any more good or bad at evaluating themselves and their performance. Good. We’ve established that we are dealing with basically a decent group of people who show up for work with the intentions of doing their jobs. Since the pay isn’t great, we have to assume there is also some sort of personal sense of honor in the position.
The dicey work police officers do is risky not only because the threat of physical violence is undoubtedly present, but also because they are stepping into some social interaction gone awry. When they are called to a domestic dispute, they have to assess the conditions which led to an escalation in a marriage. When they are called to a corner drug deal, their survival can depend on assessing the players on the street. The police are called into restore safety to a highly charged marketplace of social interaction.
So is it surprising that this basically decent group of people will always choose the perspective of one of their own in that assessment? Or that they band in support of each other to the bitter end? They endure criticism and penalties at the hands of their black sheep members, yet on the whole they hold fast. That is how untrusting they are of an outside world assessment of their workplace situations.
And I wouldn’t assume a lack of methods to get the bad apples out of the barrel. Sometimes opportunities present themselves, and as a group, they find a way. Certainly that is true in other groups. Could more opportunities be made available for the black sheep of the group to be pushed out? Most probably. But that is an internal matter.
To be honest, I’ve read a lot of lists of horrible things the police have done, but you rarely hear of these as a percentage over the whole group. Or as a percentage of all the work tasks they perform. The only way to gauge the group is to take their numbers in that identity. Pulling out the one completely unacceptable incident as a representation of the profession is measuring oranges to apples.
When you start with the assumption that the group as a whole is as decent as the rest of us, it’s hard to get to “they are all inhumane idiots who are abusive beyond control.”
Years ago someone gave me some advice when I was learning to downhill ski. “Fear,” he said, “makes you want to sit back on your heals. But this is exactly what you don’t want to do. Lean down the hill, keeping your weight centered over your feet. That’s the way to tackle the slope.” The police need to lean into policing where most of the violent crime has been occurring. Despite resistance and lack of cooperation, they need to get those cases solved. To make believers and reliable partners out of a population who needs their support.<|endoftext|>Get the Flash Player

Abstract
Rapid economic growth, increasing population, industrialization and high living standards have increased the electricity demand more than ever before. Efficient energy planning and management is always considered as the greatest challenge in all over the world. Among the other factors availability of electricity is the main bottleneck to the economic growth and industrial revolution. Considering this fact, it becomes necessary for academicians, government agencies and electricity companies to construct more efficient methodologies and procedures to predict long-term electricity demand. The objective of this article represents the initiative towards understanding and analyzing the importance of demand-side management (DSM) in forecasting electricity demand by using a system dynamics approach. This study examines the long term impact of demand-side management variables including HER (Home energy report), MEPS (Minimum Energy Performance Standards) and NEEAP (National Energy Efficiency Action Plan). The future installation capacity of Malaysia’s power generation is evaluated considering the factors of population, per capita electricity consumption, efficiency, capacity margin and DSM. The forecasting horizon of the simulation model is 15 years from 2016 to 2030.

Court Review Says Pirate Bay Trial Judge Not Biased
Concludes his membership in several pro-copyright groups was merely an educational tool that increased his knowledge of the issues.
The Stockholm District Court reviewing the charge of bias leveled against presiding Pirate Bay trial Judge Tomas Norström has concluded that the accusation is unfounded.
The charge was leveled after revelations that during the trial for which the Swedish BitTorrent tracker site would eventually be convicted for the facilitation of copyright infringement, Judge Tomas Norström was an active member of several pro-copyright groups, one of which even actively lobbies for more stringent copyright laws.
Even more startling is that membership included some of the entertainment industry’s own lawyers, the IFPI’s Peter Danowsky in particular.
The court found that his membership alone in these groups didn’t make him bias, that they were important educational opportunities that helped keep him up to date on copyright issues. If a ridiculous argument. One doesn’t have to be a member of a group in order to be up current with a given topic. More importantly, how can one argue impartiality if that same group lobbies for the sort of conviction he subsequently metes out in his court rulings?
The ruling is sure to further anger the huge number of Swedish youth (19% of those under age 30) who turned out to vote in droves yesterday, and gave the Swedish Pirate Party 2 seats in the EU Parliament..
With the Pirate Party now having 2 seats at the “table,” all of that may soon change.
“The first thing that will happen in the the new EU parliament is the third reading of the telecom reform package,” said Pirate Party leader Rick Falkvinge the day after his party’s spectacular win.

. It is equivalent to an amazon fire stick to convert your TV into a smart TV. Let us find out the details about Sensibo Air Sensor and you can decide whether to buy or not. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a pocket air conditioner for added convenience.
What is Sensibo Sky?
Sensibo Sky is a small wiFi enabled device that transforms your conventional air conditioner into a smart air conditioner. It works by connecting to your home WiFi and intercepting your infrared remote control unit. Now, you can use the Sensibo app instead of the remote to control the air conditioner from anywhere and anytime.
The Sensibo device has a thermometer to track and control the temperature and humidity remotely. Additionally, you get 7 day scheduling and it can turn on/off whenever you are about to come home or leave home based on your location.The good part: it is compatible with any remote controlled air conditioner and just takes a couple of minutes to set up. It is also compatible with a range of smart devices like Alexa, Google or Siri so you can control the AC with your voice.
When I first checked the device online, I was astonished to see more than 1500 five star reviews on Amazon. It definitely elevated my confidence in this tiny wiFi enabled device. The Sensibo Sky is available right now at just $99 ($149 – Normal price) which is definitely a steal. If you want to spice things up, you can opt to go for a Sensibo Air and Room Sensor. The Sensibo Air does everything that the Sky does, plus it converts your house into a climate ecosystem. It will enable you to save more money by changing the temperature based on where you are. This device can measure the temperature and humidity of a room when you enter and always keep you cool no matter where you sit. Additionally, it also comes with a smart room sensor which consists of motion and climate sensors. The normal price is $199 but for a limited time, you can buy it on sale for $179.
Sensibo does a whole lot of tasks apart from the usual remote. It can track temperature and humidity, can check if there is someone in the room, check weather conditions and collect data from your location to turn on/off the air conditioner. There is one drawback if you have multiple air conditioners, you will need to purchase individual devices for each air conditioner. We have worked on a lot of smart home devices this year and we think due to the ongoing we will see more such devices coming in 2021 due to remote work and work from home. Let us know in the comment section if you liked our content and if you would like to see more smart home related content in the future.

X-linked hyperimmunoglobulin M (HIGM) syndrome may increase the susceptibility of patients to disseminated cryptococcal infections primarily due to CD40L deficiency that causes defective cross talk between T- and B-cells, thus preventing class switching. In HIGM syndrome, serum IgM levels are elevated with severe reduction in serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgA levels. In addition, the expression of CD40L (CD154) on in vitro-activated T-cells is severely reduced or absent. Here, we describe a rare, and perhaps, the first reported case in India of a 3-year-old male child with X-linked HIGM immunodeficiency syndrome who developed disseminated Cryptococcosis. Evaluation of the serum IgG profile of the patient revealed increased serum IgM levels with reduced IgG and IgA levels. Both the frequency and the function of T-cells, primarily CD40L on activated T-cells, showed weak expression suggestive of HIGM syndrome.<|endoftext|>Technology, global flows and local memories
This article presents part of the findings of a wider empirical study focusing on memories of three generations in Mexico. The study investigated the relationships between the three generational groups, their access to, and reception of, different media technologies, and how these affected the construction of their media memories. The authors show how social class, gender and age, and different media technologies (such as radio, television and the internet) interact to form media memories of ‘global’ events. Access to, and familiarity with, these material support systems combined with the social distribution of specific kinds of cognitive dispositions are the key conditions for making sense of media messages. Contesting some assumptions about the ‘globality’ of media messages and experiences, this article’s conclusions and findings provide empirical evidence of a more complex situation. The study found only a limited ‘global’ effect on the lower social classes, who form the majority of the population; in contrast, it was the privileged social classes of peripheral countries who ‘behaved’ in a global way and expressed their memories as ‘global’.<|endoftext|>David Akers (1975/88): The 1887 is a relatively scarce date in all grades, comparable overall to the 1881-S and a little more rare than the 1880-S and 1890-S.

You can also have polyps or fibroids removed from inside the womb, under a local anesthetic.
<|endoftext|>Linear response theory for a pseudo-Hermitian system-reservoir interaction
We present here an extension of the Caldeira-Leggett linear response model considering a pseudo-Hermitian -symmetric system-reservoir interaction. Our generalized Feynman-Vernon functional, derived from the -symmetric coupling, accounts for two influence channels: a velocity-dependent one, which can act in reverse, providing energy to the system instead of draining it as usual, and an acceleration-dependent drain, analogue to the radiation-emission process. Therefore, an adequate choice of the Hamiltonian's parameters may allow the system to extract energy from the reservoir even at absolute zero for a period that may be much longer than the characteristic relaxation time. After this energy supply, the system is driven to a steady state whose energy is necessarily higher than the thermodynamic equilibrium energy due to the velocity-dependent pump. This heating mechanism of the system is more pronounced the more distant from the hermiticity is its coupling with the reservoir. An analytical derivation of the high-temperature master equation is provided helping us to better understand the whole scenario and to compute the associated relaxation and decoherence rates.<|endoftext|>Applications '90: peripherals
Advances in computer peripherals during 1989 are reviewed. Storage peripherals gained density, packing more information into smaller sizes with quicker retrieval. Perpendicular recording appeared in commercial products for the first time. An expanding range of storage types (including floppy diskettes, magnetic hard-disk drives, write-once and erasable optical disks, and magnetic tape) in a variety of forms offered users a broad range of storage options, each with differing densities, costs, and sizes. Much of the momentum was provided by advances in media, with cobalt chromium perpendicular thin films, cobalt-nickel oxide thin-film tapes, barium ferrite particulate media, and magneto-optic reversible thin films used for different applications. Also noteworthy was the arrival of color thermal printers.<<ETX>><|endoftext|>We already knew Erykah Badu had a solid body, evidenced by the video for her 2010 single, “Window Seat.” But just in case anyone forgot, the soul singer took to a Miami beach and caught some sun in a simple black bikini.
Rocking blond hair, henna tattoos, and an ornate necklace, Ms. Badu looked very relaxed. As the day wound down, she completed her bohemian look with an indigenous-patterned sweater and wide-brimmed hat.
And speaking of “Window Seat,” wouldn’t that make for good beach music? Peep the video below.

Plutonium is extensively studied in radioecology (e.g., soil to plant transfer and radiological assessment) and geochemistry (e.g., sediment dating). Here, we reported a new chemical separation method for rapid determination of Pu in soil and sediment samples, based on the following investigations: extraction behaviors of interfering elements (IEs, for inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) measurement) |

is one of those people who reminds us why rituals are so important to us—and, sharing her stories of hammock lounging, writing positive affirmations, and lovingly crafting homemade chai, inspires us to embrace new rituals of our own. Below, get to know Morgan as she walks us through her routines, haircare and otherwise, and perhaps find some inspiration of your own.
The answer to this question changes all the time! Some days I’m a model, some days I teach in the arts education/filmmaking field. I was a barista before COVID-19 hit the U.S. and I’m currently trying to get my first podcast off the ground. I’m a wearer of many hats!
I’ve always felt like my hair was a huge part of my identity. On a good day my hair can make me feel vibrant and captivating. I can often feel like the best version of myself when my hair cooperates with me. I also feel like people tend to identify me by my hair—it’s been happening since I was very young, probably back to 2nd or 3rd grade—so in certain circumstances my hair can feel like my whole identity.
- Have you always felt this way about your hair or has it changed over time?
Hair has always been an important topic in my life which is very typical for Black people in general. But my family’s ethnic heritage has played an important role in how I’ve always navigated my hair.
My grandmother on my mom’s side is half Japanese, meaning my great-grandmother was a fully Japanese woman and great-grandfather was a Black American man. My GiGi had 5 half-Black / half-Japanese children and had absolutely no clue what to do with their unique hair textures. All the girls—my grandma and her 3 sisters—ultimately ended up having their hair chemically relaxed so it would be “more manageable”. This tradition stayed in the family throughout my mother’s generation, and I also started having my hair relaxed when I was in 3rd grade.
When I was younger and relaxing my hair, I was known as the Black girl with “good hair”, which isn’t as enjoyable of a title as it may sound. I finally decided to break the cycle in my senior year of high school when the natural hair movement started taking off on sites like Tumblr. When I decided to stop relaxing my hair I had no idea what my natural hair texture looked like because I’d never seen it.
And then I spent my college years learning about the giant poof on my head and how to manage it. After years of frustration, trying hundreds of products and techniques, getting different types of haircuts and following the tips of dozens of natural hair blogs, Youtubers, etc., I’m finally feeling like I understand my unique relationship with this head of hair of mine.
"I’m finally feeling like I understand my unique relationship with this head of hair of mine."
- What is your current haircare routine?
Typically I avoid shampoos, opting for gentle co-washes instead. I don’t usually use enough product to warrant the use of a shampoo & only use one once something feels incredibly “off” with my hair. The co-wash I’m using right now is Briogeo’s Be Gentle, Be Kind Co-Wash. In the shower I also love using the Crown Affair Renewal Mask if I’m feeling extra fancy! I have this super dry patch of hair at the back of the head that will melt into moisturized and manageable strands after I use the mask.
Before I wash my hair I like to brush it out with The Brush No. 001. I never brushed my hair before a few years ago when a friend put me onto it. I love how it detangles my hair before washing and distributes the oils in my hair making it all soft and shiny. My hair will also poof up really huge and disco diva-like. I use this precious time to perform Diana Ross songs for my boyfriend.
Out of the shower, I section my semi-wet hair into 3 parts—bangs, upper layer of the shag, and lower layer of the shag. I go through each section and distribute leave-in and sealing oil from Melanin hair care. After that I form my curls with a Denman brush. I plop my hair in a t-shirt towel and once it’s dried down a bit I let it finish drying by air drying it. After it’s completely dry and fluffed up, I finish it off with The Oil from Crown Affair for added shine and moisture. It leaves it smells of a really lovely, Earthy scent too.
On days 2/3/however long it takes me to re-wash my hair, I typically re-wet my hair with water in a spray bottle and add a bit more leave-in, oil, or both depending on what my hair needs. Then I re-curl any strands that need some love with the Denman brush and that’s it! It’s been fun since I got this shag haircut to try to wisp my curls out as much as possible everyday.
- What daily rituals do you lean into the most?
I love making myself a matcha every morning and a chai every night. I’ve found that the promise of a warm, comforting beverage is often all the motivation I need to get anything done. I love to stretch and I’m trying to practice meditation more to manage my anxiety. My favorite ritual is probably “hammock time”. It’s the time of day where I zone out completely in my hammock. Sometimes I watch Netflix on my phone, I read a book, nap, draw, listen to the radio. Anything goes, and the time spent there is so lovely. I just found a discounted set of wind chimes & am so happy to just lay outside in the Sun with my eyes closed & listen to them make music in the breeze.
- You have a few affirmations posted around your house. When did you start practicing affirmations and what do they mean to you?
I started practicing affirmations as a suggestion from my therapist a few years ago. I tend to have a very negative inner voice and affirmations are a useful way to shift my brain away from the negative spiral I can sometimes get into. My boyfriend and I both deal with anxiety and we decided to keep a white board in the bathroom with an affirmation or two on it at any time. It can be hard for me to practice my affirmations when I need them so the daily reminder in the bathroom is so helpful.
<|endoftext|>Beneficial urban redevelopment: a Cape Town-Liverpool comparison
This paper discusses the effects of urban regeneration projects in inner-city areas which, in the past, have had a pronounced multi-cultural character, in the face of the larger dominant (in this discussion, ‘White’) institutional and residential character of the central city. Drawing on case studies of District Six in Cape Town (South Africa) and Toxteth in Liverpool (England), it questions whether the current forms of urban regeneration benefit local populations who have remained in these inner-city areas largely because of existing cultural and socio-economic structures. This highlights the problematic nature of market driven inner-city regeneration and also, by showing the clear differences between the two districts, the city-specific nature of regeneration. The paper also discusses barriers to the development of socially integrated urban neighbourhoods that retain local less well-off populations and integrate them with newer, more affluent groups, rather than creating segregated “regenerated” areas for newcomers, leaving long-standing residents in unregenerated areas. The paper concludes by discussing other planning models which could be beneficial to a wider crosssection of today's culturally diverse inner-city populations.<|endoftext|>High purity separation of nanoparticle dimers and trimers for SERS hot spots
Here, we report the ensemble-averaged measurement of SERS hot spots EF from spatially isolated colloidal nanoclusters. This approach was achieved by well-defined Au@Ag core-shell NP dimers and trimers-the simplest structure to investigate SERS hot spots phenomenon. These hot spots units with similar nature were made up of uniform Au@Ag NPs attached by a close-paking Raman reporter monolayer, then stabilized by polymer encapsulation and enriched to high purity by differential centrifugation. To our knowledge this study is the most approximate description of SERS hot spots nanostructures for colloidal ensemble-averaged EF measurement. The calculated averaged EFs are 5.6×103 for monomer and 0.7×106 for hot spot in dimer. It indicated the SERS intensity of the molecule in gap region is higher than that in the outside region by factor of 125.<|endoftext|>Poles’ Perceptions of Extreme and Adventure Tourism
The purpose of this article was to present awareness of extreme and adventure tourism among Polish people. A diagnostic survey was performed in order to determine the actual state of understanding of leisure activities and preferences of the people regarding adventure tourism using online social networking sites like Facebook in July 2021. A total of 1080 Polish respondents participated in the study, and the data were analysed descriptively. In this study, we found that leisure tourism is mostly practiced (41%) among the respondents, and the extreme and adventure tourism market share is 14%. Around 40% of respondents said they never practiced adventure tourism, and 26% said they hardly practice once a year. This demands additional efforts to increase the market share for extreme and adventure tourism. Thus, tourism entrepreneurs and policymakers can promote extreme and adventure tourism in the country, focusing on young people. Similarly, 31% said adventure and extreme tourism are dangerous. This means people must first overcome their |

She gave out a loud yawn and stretched out her hooves and wings as far as she could reach them. She glanced at the corner of her room where the mirror stood, it stared at her as always but instead of a shiver down her spine, she got a spark of curiosity. Slowly she hopped out of her bed and carefully shuffled over to the object keeping her guard up for any unexpected surprises. She placed a hoof on the glass and her reflection followed at the exact same time with the exact same hoof in the exact same place. Next she investigated the sides of the frame, the paint was peculiar because this mirror must have been at least 100 years old but not a single scratch had been placed upon it.
She tried to twist the mirror around to see the back but it was too heavy for her to even budge it in the slightest. She had to squeeze though the small gap at the side, at one point her head got stuck but with her iron will (no pun intended) she managed to get through. It was extremely dusty behind the mirror; a few cobwebs had been made as well.
"Thank Celestia I'm not scared of spiders" she joked. She stared at the wooden back looking for anything unusual when she noticed a small engraving right in the centre of the frame. It was extremely dusty behind the mirror, all she could see was grey and no other colours stood out. She used her hoof to sweep the dust off the engraving, spreading dust into the air and her lungs. She coughed and spluttered for a while trying to get it out but inhaled more in the proses, eventually the coughing stopped and the dust stayed away. She covered her mouth and took a closer look at the carved words. Scootaloo read the words aloud to easily proses what was written.
"May all his memories be revived, May all of him show" as she was reading the description a red glow came from the eyes of the stone head "May him see you world, And may you see his own". The red glow faded into the head as Scootaloo clambered her way out of the dusty corner. Her mane had been filled with dust and cobwebs. She glanced at the mirror and then to her clock, it read 10:30 as finally Scootaloo realized she was late for school!
She forgot all about what day it was and the time, she even forgot about the big test that was happening that day. She charged down the halls passing all the carers in the orphanage. They all gave each other the same confused look as Scootaloo raced down the corridors. Her heart was beating as fast as she was running, she was panting like a dog and she was going so fast she didn't notice the staircase right in front of her. She tripped over her own hooves and plummeted down the stairs head first. She fell to the ground dazed and bruised all over, her eyes weakly opened to a blur. After her eyes had fixed their sight she quickly paced outside and set off for school.
When she arrived Miss Cheerilee was showing pictures of different cutie marks to the other children. Scootaloo burst the door open and stood their panting drastically looking like she was about to pass out. The students stared at her silently as Cheerilee walked over to Scootaloo to ask her the question that was on everypony's mind.
"Scootaloo, what happened?" she asked noticing her mane, bruises and vicious panting. Scootaloo didn't respond she didn't want to waste energy on speaking. Instead she slowly walked over to her seat and sat down without looking around at the whispering fillies and colts that were engaged on her appearance. Cheerilee knew Scootaloo could be stubborn and that she wouldn't cooperate if Cheerilee tried sending her home so she just let her try to catch up with the lesson as best as she could.
Scootaloo was listening to Cheerilee when something came into her mind, she wasn't doing the test! She tapped the shoulder of the filly beside her to ask about what was going on. Apparently the test was next week and she misheard the date, she felt much better after hearing that now she had a chance of passing.
After the lesson ended all the foals ran outside so they could get home. Scootaloo's happiness soon faded when she looked over to another area of the playground to see an earth pony and a unicorn eating lunch together. They looked so happy but they were missing something, they were missing a Pegasus. A tear trickled down her cheek at the sight of them and she walked away slowly on her own.

ciphertext is `6`. The character at the first row, 6th column is `V`.

Continue to get the flag.
We are presented with 16 5x5 grids, each with a single box blacked out.
We reason that since it is 5x5, there are 25 choices which is close enough to 26 (letters of the alphabet).
We assume the top left represents the letter A, and the next one to the right represents B, and so on.
Doing so, we get `MHBDI...`, until we reach the 12th box. There is no marking here! Another shot in the dark. We assume that no marking represents the letter `A`.
Thus, our previously transcribed "plaintext" has to be Caesar shifted by 1 to get the flag, easy enough.
Questionable RSA. I didn't know what to do with the numbers since they were spaced out. I finally guessed they were individual characters of the flag and successfully decrypted them as such.
Using [factordb](http://factordb.com/), we can factor `n` into `17 * 149`, obviously the p and q for this challenge.
Now, using modified code from [a StackExchange article](https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/19444/rsa-given-q-p-and-e), we can decrypt the flag character by character.
Each level has a chal.txt which contains an encrypted password, and a password-protected zip file for the next layer.
We guess it is LSB encrypted since Binwalk doesn't return anything useful.
We plug it into [stylesuxx's LSB tool](https://stylesuxx.github.io/steganography) and we decode.
We get some base64, which we now play with a bunch in [CyberChef](https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/).
Now we guess again and decrypt it using the `Variant Beaufort Vigenere cipher` (found on Cryptii's Vigenere tool) and key `NeverLANCTF`. The plaintext gives the flag.
If you want to, you can right click on any ftp packet and follow the tcp stream. If there's no flag, then move on to the next stream.
When we listen to the mp3 initially, we can hear a faint beeping in the background. This sounds like Morse code, so let's find an easy way to transcribe it to text dits and dahs (radio speak for dots and dashes).
One huge issue right now is that the Morse code is "covered" by the actual vocals of the track. I was stuck on this portion for a while.
Let's split the tracks to mono using the track settings.
Then, we subtract the original track from the track with morse code. After that, we'll be able to clearly see the morse code in spectrogram view.
First, we select one track, and invert it (`Effect > Invert`). Then, we select both tracks and mix them together (`Tracks > Mix > Mix and Render`).
It's still a bit hard to see, so let's change the coloring.
We open up track settings and then select `Spectrogram Settings`. We change the color range to 20 dB instead of 80 dB (decibels).
The short ones are dits and the long ones are dahs. I usually represent the short ones with `.` and the long ones with `-`, which is a format most online morse-to-text tools use as well.
That would be the first letter in the text.
The image says something is unzipped...
Let's try `binwalk`.
Binwalk extracts two files, a zip and a file called `flag.png`, which has the flag of course.
We download and unzip it. It seems they just compressed a system's directories from / and gave it to us...
We `cd` into the home directory for the user (`/home/User/`). Nothing seems interesting except for a `.bash_history` file, which reveals that they encrypted a flag using a concatenation of 3 passwords. We have to find the 3 passwords to decrypt the encrypted flag.
It's in an image in `~/Pictures`. We use strings and find the signature for `steghide`. We can use `steghide extract -sf doggo.jpeg`. It takes a bit more guesswork to guess that there is no password. The password is in the extracted text file.
The password is the password to the user named `user`. We read `/etc/shadow/`, and find the password.
We first uncompress the `table.db.tar.gz` inside `/opt`.
Let's get everything from `table.db`: `sqlite3 table.db "SELECT * FROM passwords"`. This gives us the third password.
Now that we have all 3 passwords, we can decrypt the encrypted text file using `openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -d -in flag.txt.enc -out file.txt`. We supply the concatenation of the 3 passwords, and we read `file.txt` for the decrypted flag.
This algorithm seems kind of slow...
We access the 10497th element of `x` to get the flag (x[10496]).
Simple MD5 brute force. I got the author names from the Discord server.
We just have to convert 5 base64 values to ASCII.
I used pwntools, a pretty neat library for tasks like these.
This site gives an svg which we can download. Quite obviously, the colors represent `0` and `1` in binary (gray is 1, green is 0).
We find out that we can download the svg information directly from `/svg.php`, which makes it much easier for a script.
We parse the image, using regex to remove all different attributes such as x, y, width, and height for each `<rect>` in the svg. Then, we simply just use `str.replace()` in Python to get the binary string.
Then we convert that binary string into text.
However, most of the time the server will return an svg that doesn't have the flag. Instead, it will return some time hash information which is useless to us.
We can repeatedly query the server for an svg until it gives us a flag svg.
We initially find an intel.txt, giving us information. We have to ssh onto `evil@victim`.
Using Medusa (an ssh password cracker), we can bruteforce the password easily. It is `0024`.
Once ssh'd, we find a zip file with some base64 as its name. It's password protected, so we try decoding the name.
Decoded, the name of the zip file is `stonecold`, which is used to unzip the zip file.
The content of the zip file is the flag.
The "front page of the Internet" is Reddit.
The author is `ZestyFE`, so we guess that he has a Reddit account under the same name.
We navigate to `/u/ZestyFE` on Reddit, and find the flag in one of ZestyFE's comments.
Unfortunately the SaintCon site is not 100% functional so we're stuck...
Then we guses that keynoting a conference is pretty cool and they must have posted something to commemorate the event on [their Twitter](https://twitter.com/NeverLanCTF).
During the competition there were streams for music and the like. If we go under their music tab and select track #2 we see a YouTube video.
Exploring the comments reveals a flag that someone commented.
We Google for `01 September 2017 | 14:01 phreak`.
We find the first [Darknet Diaries episode](https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/1/).
By some stroke of pure geniosity we right click to view the source code of the site and the flag is at the bottom.
The title hints that it has something to do with cookies.
When we visit the site, it says `He's my favorite Red guy`. We guess this to be `Elmo` from Sesame Street.
We look at the cookies, and find a cookie `Red_Guy's_Name: NameGoesHere`. We replace `NameGoesHere` with `elmo`.
We get the flag by refreshing the tab.
We navigate to `/flag.txt` for the flag.
Simple SQL injection in the login page.
Note that the password does not matter, only the username is vulnerable.

This time, there seems to be multiple accounts, and the previous payload logs us in as `John`, who is not an admin. We have to skip over John's account using SQL's `LIMIT` to log in as admin.

Sleepless at Sixty
I was going to post this story yesterday, but I needed a nap. Mistake Number One for Insomniacs: Napping. More mistakes: Reading in Bed. It’s for sleep only. Oh, and sex. (But that’s another story.) Sleeping in. Believing that an extra glass of wine will help you sleep. Worrying that you won’t be able to go to sleep when you go to bed. Drinking iced tea in the afternoon. Thinking the pills might help. Insomniacs are 60 million strong in this country according to medical surveys, including one undertaken by Congress in 1988, which resulted in the 1993 report **Wake Up, America!** Insomnia is probably under-diagnosed at that, and the chances you can’t sleep are 40 percent higher if you are a woman over 40, and even higher if you are 60. Insomnia is not a specific one-size-fits-all lack of sleep. It is a personal assessment that you are not getting enough good (deep) sleep, either because you have trouble falling asleep at night, or because you wake up after three or four hours’ sleep and can’t get back to sleep, or both. Its symptoms are not simply fatigue and irritability, but even more costly: a decrease in the ability to concentrate, memory impairment, failure to accomplish daily tasks, decreased cognitive skills, auto accidents, poorer health overall, and the likelihood of an earlier death. Medical conditions which can cause insomnia include: AIDS, arthritis, cancer, cystitis, degenerative nerve disorders, enlarge prostate, fibromyalgia, heart or lung problems, heartburn, overactive thyroid, low back pain, and menopause. **But doctors believe 50 percent of the incidence of insomnia can be linked to psychological causes, including depression, anxiety and stress.** Specific, medically treatable sleep disorders, diagnosed on the basis of overnight sleep studies (polysomnograms) which measure breathing, heart rhythm, brain activity, eye movements, and body movement, include sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, and leg movement disorder. So the Good News for anyone “Sleepless at Sixty” (or any other age) is that you are not alone. The dark and lonely nights you lie in bed, mind racing, wondering if you should turn on the light and read or listen to a book on tape (Maybe), get up and watch TV (No), calm yourself with gentle music (Perhaps), pray (If it works for you), or cry (Ditto) may in fact be dark, but they need not be lonely. Lots of us are with you in spirit. One study reports a third of all adults ages 55-64 wake up feeling unrefreshed. Another estimates that 4 to 5 percent of the entire U. S. population is taking sleeping pills in any given year! But do the pills work? In a way, yes. As a cure, like an antibiotic, no. The first class of prescription drugs used to treat insomnia were sedative-hypnotics called Benzodiazepines. Examples of these include ProSom, Dalmane, Doral, Restoril, and Halcion. Readily addictive, with a lasting lethargy or “hangover” effect, these are less often prescribed today because of the availability of a less-debilitating class of drugs known as Non-Benzodiazepines. Also sedative-hypnotics which similarly depress the activity of the central nervous system to effect sleep, these drugs, which include Lunesta, Sonata, and Ambien, clear the system more completely in a shorter period of time and have fewer day-after side effects. Another new drug – you’ve probably seen it advertised recently -- Rozerem, targets the body’s “natural” circadian rhythms to achieve better sleep. Because none of these medications can effect a cure, they are but temporary fixes, a way, when used properly by physician and patient, to intervene and re-set one’s body rhythms and sleep cycles. I’ve taken Ambien – I feel drunk the day after, and useless – Sonata – it’s very short-acting (just four hours) and not much help if you wake up anyway – and Lunesta – which gave me eight hours of sleep but did not make me feel rested. This general dissatisfaction and a fear of becoming addicted, despite assurances neither Sonata nor Lunesta are habit-forming, caused me to seek new solutions. Again, I am not alone. Weblogs abound detailing the Travails of the Tired. (Simply Google Insominia.) And there are countless books on the topic, among them: *Insomniac* by Gayle Green; *Snooze. . . or Lose!* By Dr. Helene Emsellem; *Desperately Seeking Snoozin’* by John Weidman; and *No More Sleepless Nights*, by Dr. Peter Hauri. It seems to come down to this (*Yawn!*): You have to change your behavior; I have to change mine. And according to my research, the most important thing we can do is **Get up every morning at the same time.** Ouch. Rising, we are told, sets our clocks. As for going to bed, we are advised to **go to bed later**, reducing the hours in bed to an absolute minimum (as low as 6 hours) so as to increase the percentage of time in bed that we are asleep. Eventually, as your sleep cycle is re-established, you can shift the go-to-bed time earlier in 15 minute increments to get back to “normal.” And, finally, again, **NO NAPS**. That’s going to be the hardest for me! Then there’s “Sleep Hygiene.” • Reduce the light in your bedroom. • Limit noise in the environment. • Set the thermostat to slightly cool. • Take a warm bath or shower 30 minutes or so before bedtime (not immediately before). • Prepare for sleep with calming music or books on tape the 30 minutes before bedtime. • Do not engage in any particularly stimulating activity – mental or physical -- in the 2-3 hours before going to bed. • Do not read in bed. As always, with anything having to do with our good health these days, there’s the Diet and Exercise component, too. • Avoid late-night eating and drinking. • Avoid caffeine after lunch. • Limit alcohol at night. (It may make you sleepy, but it won’t help you sleep well.) • No nicotine close to bedtime. • Exercise early in the day, not in the evening. But exercise five days a week. • Treat any pain (head aches, back pain, etc.) about 30 minutes before bedtime. Psychology can help, too. One suggestion is as simple as not thinking negatively (\"I\'m afraid I won\'t be able to\") about going to sleep. Another recommends that when racing thoughts start overtaking your overtired mind, you convert the script of words running through your head into images which may, if it works, lull you to sleep. Cognitive therapy with a licensed counselor may be helpful in establishing these and other behavioral changes. No studies have been conducted on my last piece of advice. However, I found that reading about Insomnia for several hours also induces sleep. Good luck. And nighty-night. Please share your tales of sleep lost and found in the comments below.

The traditional focus in the moral decision-making literature has been on understanding when and why people choose a utilitarian option versus a deontological option. However, we suggest that when deciding between these two options, people prefer a third option: to seek out others' advice-which raises the question, what advice do people give others who are faced with a moral dilemma? In a meta-analysis of responses to 50 unique moral dilemmas, furnished by undergraduates, online panelists, and passers-by, we compared 8,696 self-choice responses (from participants who decided what option they choose) with 8,548 advisor responses (from participants who recommended what option others should choose). We found that when advising others, participants favored deontological options more, recommending these options over the more utilitarian options that participants chose for themselves (d = .112). Our research shows that when people seek advice from others, the two cents they receive are a deontological sense.

Mast‐cell degranulation is triggered by the bridging of Fc receptor‐bound antigen‐specific immunoglobulin IgE on the cell surface. In vitro experiments suggest that antibody affinity and nonspecific IgE may affect the mast‐cell function, however, their importance in vivo is unclear. Investigations of the effects of these parameters on mast‐cell sensitization were therefore carried out in a rat immunization model in which the IgE response is transient and peaks on days 10–15. Between these two timepoints, significant changes in the level of specific IgE were not observed, but the avidity of specific IgE increased (P < 0.05). Total serum IgE peaked on day 10 and slowly declined, with the relative proportion of specific to total IgE increasing from day 10–15 (P < 0.05). Despite similar levels of antigen‐specific IgE, increasing avidity and an increased proportion of specific IgE between days 10 and 15, the biological activity of IgE in the serum peaks on day 10 and declines rapidly, dropping around seven‐fold by day 15 (P < 0.001). Mechanisms that could explain this finding, such as differential expression of IgE isoforms and changes in the fine specificity of the IgE response, are discussed.<|endoftext|>When Fleet launched in 2015, its three founders faced an uphill battle.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) causes chronic infection accompanied by a high risk of liver failure and hepatocellular carcinoma. CD8+ T cell responses are important in the control of viremia. However, the T cell response in chronic infection is weak both in absolute numbers and in the range of epitopes targeted. In order to explore the biology of this response further, we analyzed expression of a panel of natural killer cell markers in HCV compared with other virus‐specific T cell populations as defined by major histocompatibility complex class I tetramers. We found that CD161 was significantly expressed on HCV‐specific cells (median 16.8%) but not on CD8+ T cells specific for human immunodeficiency virus (3.3%), cytomegalovirus (3.4%), or influenza (3.4%). Expression was seen in acute, chronic, and resolved disease and was greatest on intrahepatic HCV‐specific T cells (median 57.6%; P < 0.05). Expression of CD161 was also found on hepatitis B virus–specific CD8+ T cells. In general, CD161+CD8+ T cells were found to be CCR7− “effector memory” T cells that could produce proinflammatory cytokines (interferon‐γ and tumor necrosis factor‐α) but contained scanty amounts of cytolytic molecules (granzyme B and perforin) and proliferated poorly in vitro. Expression of CD161 on CD8+ T cells was tightly linked to that of CXCR6, a chemokine with a major role in liver homing. Conclusion: We propose that expression of CD161 indicates a unique pattern of T cell differentiation that might help elucidate the mechanisms of HCV immunity and pathogenesis.

In the study of the interaction of RF and MW fields with biological systems particular attention has been recently devoted to microdosimetric research. In this paper a microdosimetric study on erythrocytes is proposed. Facing this topic, two fundamental steps are needed: the set up of a proper membrane dielectric model valid up to the RF and MW range, and the set up of an appropriate EM solution on the cell environment. Concerning the first point, an accurate estimation of the membrane dielectric model and of its uncertainty has been performed, from permittivity measurements of erythrocytes solutions. Focusing on the second point, a quasi-static EM analysis solving the Laplace equation has been chosen. An analytical approach has been applied on simplified spherical cell geometry, while a numerical solver has been used for erythrocyte shaped cell. In this context the fundamental role of the dielectric membrane modeling on results reliability has been highlighted.<|endoftext|>Corey Martin Jr is class of 2021 Dual Sport Athlete (Basketball/Volleyball) out of Landstown HS in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

<|endoftext|>Coordinated Pilot Design for Massive MIMO
Pilot contamination is a main limiting factor in multi-cell massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems due to the non-orthogonality of pilot sequences which can seriously impair the channel measurement. Recent work has suggested coordinating pilot sequence design across multiple cells by choosing the sequences to minimize the channel estimation error. This paper further investigates this approach using a new optimization framework. Specifically, we reformulate the weighted minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) measure as a sum-of-functions-of-matrix-ratio program that can be efficiently solved via a matrix fractional programming approach. The proposed algorithm provides fast convergence to a stationary-point solution of the MMSE problem. Simulations demonstrate the advantage of the proposed method over alternative approaches in enhancing channel estimation accuracy.<|endoftext|>A comparison of responding maintained under second-order schedules of intramuscular cocaine injection or food presentation in squirrel monkeys.

treatment. Physical removal is only a temporary solution and chemical treatment is unacceptable if the water will be consumed by humans. The hydrodynamic method can wash out the encroached aquatic plants by keeping flow velocity higher than the critical velocity required to bend and rupture (lodge) their stems. This approach is a promising, physically‐based, efficient, economic, and permanent solution for this problem. However, the success of this approach requires the accurate prediction of the critical lodging velocity. This paper presents an analytic study of the lodging velocity for the submerged portion of aquatic plants of narrow leaved emergent stems that are wider at bottom than the top. Based on the principles of engineering materials and the theory of turbulent flow, a semi‐empirical formula is derived for the prediction of the critical lodging velocity. It indicates that the lodging of aquatic plants is controlled not only by flow conditions but also the geometric and mechanical characteristics of the plants. These analytic results provide a satisfactory explanation of the lodging phenomena observed in the field and are verified by the available experimental data.<|endoftext|>An Application of Linear Superposition to Estimating Lattice-Physics Parameters
Abstract A linear superposition model (LSM) for the speedy and accurate estimation of lattice-physics parameters during within-bundle “pin-by-pin” loading optimization calculations of light water reactor nuclear fuel assemblies has been developed. The LSM has been implemented into the FORMOSA-L code, and typical results show that the run-time requirements can be reduced by at least an order of magnitude relative to performing direct lattice-physics evaluations with the CPM-2 or CASMO-3 code. Moreover, the speedups noted include all overhead expenses associated with the direct lattice-physics calculations required to construct the LSM sensitivity libraries. Additionally, accuracy improvements to the LSM are achieved by inclusion of higher-order cross terms and via quadratic interpolation when perturbing continuous variables. Also, it is shown that the errors generated by this first-order accurate technique can be kept well under control by treating material and spatial shuffles separately during optimizations. The results obtained indicate that the LSM can effectively substitute for direct lattice-physics evaluations throughout the entire optimization process without noticeable loss of fidelity. Finally, both synchronous and asynchronous implementations of parallel computing via the remote-procedure-call approach have been studied to further speed up the creation of LSM sensitivity libraries within FORMOSA-L.<|endoftext|>Abenomics and Japan's Trade Policy in a New Era
Trade policy, in particular, the Trans†Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP), has been a centerpiece of the Abe administration's economic strategy. The TPP's contributions to Japan's growth strategy include: (i) creating trade and investment opportunities abroad for Japanese companies through ambitious liberalization targets; (ii) advancing domestic reforms – with the largest service and agricultural liberalization commitments to date; and (iii) increasing bargaining leverage in other trade negotiations. But the domestic reform goals of Abenomics in agriculture have come up short due to opposition from domestic lobbies. American trade politics – which culminated in the US withdrawal from the TPP – have upended the goals of trade policy under Abenomics. Japan's best option in this new environment is to deliver on high quality, multi†party trade agreements: concluding negotiations with Europe; scaling up the ambition of Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership; and salvaging a TPP 11. The merits of a bilateral free trade agreement with the USA will depend on how the Trump administration operationalizes its America First policy.<|endoftext|>Board Inclusion in Financial Reporting and Dividend Policy: Evidence from Static and Dynamic Panel VAR Models
The study explored how board inclusion in financial reporting affects the dividend policy in Nigeria. The study was conducted within the context of deposit money banks (DMBs) and data were gathered from the financial statement of listed DMBs in Nigeria for ten years spanning from 2008 to 2017. The study employed static and dynamic panel VAR technique. The result showed that dividend per share can predicts frequency of the board meeting, the frequency of board meeting can predicts board compliance to banks' rules and regulation in the future and board compliance to banks' rules and regulation can predict dividend per share. The study concluded that board inclusion in financial reporting on dividend policy exerts long-run and short run negative effect on dividend policy. In view of this study recommended that the board inclusion in financial reporting should aim at discouraging manipulative accounting tendencies and enhance true fare of financial position of the banks with the goal of improving or maximising dividend policy represented by the amount of cash pay-out as dividend to shareholders as a form of reward for their investments.<|endoftext|>Effect of opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy on the three-dimensional kinematics of the knee.
Although it is clear that opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO) changes alignment in the coronal plane, which is its objective, it is not clear how this procedure affects knee kinematics throughout the range of joint movement and in other planes. Our research question was: how does opening-wedge HTO change three-dimensional tibiofemoral and patellofemoral kinematics in loaded flexion in patients with varus deformity?Three-dimensional kinematics were assessed over 0° to 60° of loaded flexion using an MRI method before and after opening-wedge HTO in a cohort of 13 men (14 knees). Results obtained from an iterative statistical model found that at six and 12 months after operation, opening-wedge HTO caused increased anterior translation of the tibia (mean 2.6 mm, p < 0.001), decreased proximal translation of the patella (mean -2.2 mm, p < 0.001), decreased patellar spin (mean -1.4°, p < 0.05), increased patellar tilt (mean 2.2°, p < 0.05) and changed three other parameters. The mean Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index improved significantly (p < 0.001) from 49.6 (standard deviation (sd) 16.4) pre-operatively to a mean of 28.2 (sd 16.6) at six months and a mean of 22.5 (sd 14.4) at 12 months. The three-dimensional kinematic changes found may be important in explaining inconsistency in clinical outcomes, and suggest that measures in addition to coronal plane alignment should be considered.<|endoftext|>Chicago—As debate rages on the safety of reopening schools around the country, a new study raises the possibility that young children might be able to spread the virus as much as other age groups.
The report in JAMA Pediatrics reveals that children younger than 5 years with mild-to moderate COVID-19 have much higher levels of genetic material for the virus in the nose compared to older children and adults.
Researchers from the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago suggest the ability of younger children to spread COVID-19 might have gone unrecognized because schools and daycare were rapidly closed when the pandemic began and generally have stayed that way.
It further points out that, in many cases, children drive spread of respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses in the population, but that data on children as sources of SARS-CoV-2 spread have remained limited.
That led to the finding that replication of SARS-CoV-2 in older children leads to similar levels of viral nucleic acid as adults, but significantly greater amounts of viral nucleic acid are detected in children younger than age 5 years.
To reach that conclusion, researchers performed SARS-CoV-2 reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on nasopharyngeal swabs collected at various inpatient, outpatient, emergency department, and drive-through testing sites at a pediatric tertiary medical center in Chicago between March 23 and April 27, 2020.
This cohort included all individuals aged younger than 1 month to 65 years who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2; patients with symptoms suggestive of a COVID-19–compatible illness and/or high-risk exposures were tested. The final cohort included 145 patients with mild-to-moderate illness within 1 week of symptom onset.
• 48 were adults aged 18 to 65 years.
Results indicate similar median (interquartile range) PCR amplification cycle threshold CT values for older children (11.1 [6.3-15.7]) and adults (11.0 [6.9-17.5]).
Researchers performed a sensitivity analysis and observed a similar statistical difference between groups when including those with unknown symptom duration. They also identified only a very weak correlation between symptom duration and CT in the overall cohort (Spearman P = .22) and in each subgroup (young children, Spearman P = .20; older children, Spearman P = .19; and adults, Spearman P = .10).
<|endoftext|>Effects of Fine Alumina Addition and Sintering Temperature on Mechanical Properties of Alumina-Magnesia Monolithic Refractories
Alumina-magnesia monolithic refractories are mainly used to line the inner wall of steel ladles. The refractories are damaged by the thermal shock while using on its wall and the spalling of them occurs. Therefore, it is very important to evaluate the thermal shock resistance of refractories. The effective fracture energy (γγeff) is known as the parameter which affects to the thermal shock resistance. The objective of this study is to identify the effect of adding fine particles on the γγeff. The samples were prepared by changing the fraction of fine alumina (average particle size is 3.4 μm) against coarse alumina (average particle size is 550 μm) and the effect of adding fine particles on the γγeff was evaluated. The γγeff was measured by Work of Fracture method. The value of γγeff was enhanced to a maximum when the fine alumina fraction was 20-30 mass%. The reason could be explained by the apparent porosity and the roughness of the surface. Adding appropriate amount of fine al |

The use of highly corrosive chemicals to remove nano-particles on the surface of the wafer, results in substrate losses. This has resulted in the use of megasonics which provides acoustic cavitation to remove small particles. The megasonic wave does generate bubble cavitation which applies mechanical force to wafer structure, the violent cavitation such as transit cavitation or micro jet will damage the patterned structures [1,2]. A new megasonic technology is proposed in this paper, this technology provides stable control of bubble cavitation, without pattern damage at the different modes. The technology shows better particle performance when compared with the industry standard two-fluid nozzle cleaning technology. This Timely Energized Bubble Oscillation mode provides stable cavitation with a wide power window. It is unlike conventional megasonic which creates transit cavitation and damage when the bubble implodes. This new megasonic technology can be used to clean “sensitive” structures at 28nm and below without any pattern damage.<|endoftext|>A recap of of January 2018 includes a New Year’s resolution.

<|endoftext|>Single-server Multi-message Private Information Retrieval with Side Information: the General Cases
The single-server multi-message private information retrieval with side information problem is studied for general cases. In this problem, K independent messages are stored at a single server. One user initially has M messages as side information and wants to download N demand messages while not leaking any information about the indices of demand messages to the server. In our previous work, we characterized the minimum number of required download bits and presented an achievability scheme for this problem with the constraint of linear codes. In this paper, we extend the results to general (non-linear) codes and present the closed-form expression for the minimum number of required download bits. Moreover, we show that linear coding schemes are sufficient to achieve the optimal (minimum) download bits. Additionally, we show that the trivial MDS coding scheme with K − M transmissions is optimal if N > M or N2+N ≥ K−M. This means if one wishes to privately download more than the square-root of the number of messages in the database, then one must effectively download the full database (minus the side information), irrespective of the amount of side information one has available.<|endoftext|>Engineering of vaginal tissue in vivo.
Congenital vaginal anomalies and cloacal malformations may require extensive surgical reconstruction. Surgical challenges are often encountered because of the limited amounts of native tissue available. We investigated the feasibility of using vaginal epithelial and smooth muscle cells for the engineering of vaginal tissues in vivo. Vaginal epithelial and smooth muscle cells of female rabbits were grown, expanded in culture, and characterized immunocytochemically. Vaginal epithelial and smooth muscle cells were seeded on polyglycolic acid (PGA) scaffolds at 10 x 10(6) and 20 x 10(6) cells/cm(3), respectively. The cell-seeded scaffolds were subcutaneously implanted into nude mice. The animals were killed 1, 4, and 6 weeks after implantation. Immunocytochemical and histochemical analyses were performed with pancytokeratins AE1/AE3 and with smooth muscle-specific alpha-actin antibodies to confirm the reconstituted tissue phenotype. Western blot analyses and electrical field stimulation studies were also performed to further characterize the tissue-engineered constructs. Vaginal epithelial cells were serially identified with anti-pancytokeratins AE1/AE3 at all culture stages. Smooth muscle cells in culture stained positively with alpha-smooth muscle actin antibodies. One week after implantation in vivo, the retrieved polymer scaffolds demonstrated multilayered tissue strips of both cell types, and penetrating native vasculature was also noted. Increased organization of the smooth muscle and epithelial tissue was evident by 4 weeks. There was no evidence of tissue formation in the controls. Immunocytochemical analyses using anti-pancytokeratins confirmed the presence of vaginal epithelial cells in each of the constructs. Anti-alpha-actin smooth muscle antibodies also confirmed the presence of multilayered smooth muscle fibers and tissue at each time point. Western blot analyses of the scaffolds confirmed the expression of cytokeratin and smooth muscle actin proteins when compared with controls. The contractile properties of the tissue-engineered vaginal constructs in response to electrical field stimulation were similar to those of normal vaginal tissue. Vaginal epithelial and smooth muscle cells can be easily cultured and expanded in vitro. Cell-seeded polymer scaffolds are able to form vascularized vaginal tissue in vivo that have phenotypic and functional properties similar to those of normal vaginal tissues. This is the first demonstration in tissue engineering wherein vaginal epithelial and smooth muscle cells are reconstituted in vivo into vaginal tissue. This technology may be pursued further experimentally in order to achieve the engineering of vaginal tissues for clinical applications.<|endoftext|>100Ps UV/X-Ray Framing Camera

Mucoidy in Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a critical virulence factor associated with chronic respiratory infections in cystic fibrosis. A cluster of three tightly linked genes. algU, mucA and mucB located at 67.5 min, controls development of mucoid phenotype. This locus is allelic with a group of mutations (muc) associated with conversion into constitutively mucoid forms. One of the genes previously characterized in this region, algU, is absolutely required for the transcriptional activation of algD, a critical event in the establishment of mucoidy. AlgU is homologous to the alternative sigma factor σ;H (Spo0H) controlling sporulation and competence in Bacillus. Two genes downstream of algU, mucA and mucB were further characterized in this study. Previous complementation studies have demonstrated that mucA is required for suppression of mucoidy in the muc‐2 strain PAO568. In this work, complementation analysis indicated that, in addition. mucB was required for suppression of mucoidy in the muc‐25 strain PAO581, and for enhanced complementation of the muc‐2 mutation in PAO568. The complete nucleotide sequence of mucA and mucH was determined. Insertional inactivation of mucB on the chromosome of the standard genetic strain PAO resulted in mucoid phenotype, and in a strong transcriptional activation of algD. Thus, a loss of mucB function is sufficient to cause conversion of P. aeruginosa into the mucoid phenotype. Since the algU‐mucA‐mucB region is a general site where muc mutations have been mapped, it is likely that mucB participates in the emergence of mucoid forms. Both mucA and mucB play a regulatory role in concert with the sigma‐like factor AlgU; all three genes, along with signal transduction and histone‐like elements, control differentiation of P. aeruginosa into the mucoid phenotype.<|endoftext|>Angiotensin receptor blockers and myocardial infarction
Editor—Verma and Strauss say that, compared with angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers do not reduce (and may increase) the risk of myocardial infarction.1 Their claim represents an incomplete, inaccurate, and misleading “analysis” of the evidence.
They did not cite the two largest studies that randomised patients to an ACE inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blockers and had the statistical power to evaluate cardiovascular outcomes.2,3 These had twice as many myocardial infarctions as their trials combined (table). As none of their trials randomised these two treatments, their conclusions depend on indirect comparisons, small numbers of events and are unreliable. OPTIMAAL (379 patients with MI in the captopril group and 384 losartan) and VALIANT (798 total myocardial infarctions in captopril group, 796 valsartan) strongly refute the authors' hypothesis.
Other data were selectively and incorrectly cited—for example, mentioning the only CHARM trial with an excess of myocardial infarctions in the candesartan group (the other two trials had fewer) and inaccurate citation of the risk increase (table).4 That the losartan group in RENAAL had fewer myocardial infarctions was not mentioned. It is no surprise that angiotensin receptor blockers failed to reduce mortality in trials underpowered to test for this.5 The interpretation of trials using an active control is confounded when these can reduce myocardial infarction (for example, a β blocker) or lower blood pressure more (for example, amlodipine).w1 w2w2

: a case report
Background and Purpose
Axillary web syndrome (AWS) and seroma are common and function-limiting side effects following treatments for breast cancer. Studies of AWS and seroma are rare, and there are no guidelines for physical therapy in these cases.
Case Description
After left breast lumpectomy due to invasive ductal carcinoma, a 65-year-old female patient underwent intraoperative radiation therapy and whole breast radiation. Seven months later, during treatment for breast swelling, AWS and breast seroma were identified by a physical therapist certified in lymphedema treatment. Treatment goals were to reduce breast swelling and pain and to improve shoulder movements. Interventions included manual lymph drainage, left arm stretching, and instruction about self-lymphatic-drainage and stretching exercise. Also, a compression bra was ordered, and continued daily activities and physical activity were recommended.
Outcomes
Improvement in shoulder movement, breast swelling, and pain.
Discussion
Because evidence for treatment guidelines following treatments for breast cancer is lacking, close follow-up for treatment-related complications is recommended. Management should be chosen according to signs and symptoms. Realistic expectations can reduce patient frustration and improve coping strategies and compliance with self-treatment demands. Clinical studies to support these conclusions are required.<|endoftext|>Delay, elasticity, and stability trade-offs in rate control
Abstract— We adopt the optimization framework for rate allocationproblem proposed by Kelly and characterize the stability condition with ar-bitrary communication delay. We demonstrate that there is a fundamentaltrade-off between the price elasticity of demand of users and responsivenessof the resources through a choice of price function as well as between thesystem stability and resource utilization. I. I NTRODUCTION With the unprecedented growth and popularity of the Internetthe problem of rate/congestion control is emerging as a morecrucial problem. Poor management of congestion can renderone part of a network inaccessible to the rest and significantlydegrade the performance of networking applications. Kelly hasproposed an optimization framework for rate allocation in theInternet [4]. Using the proposed framework he has shown thatthe system optimum is achieved at the equilibrium between theend users and resources. Based on this observation researchershave proposed various rate-based algorithms that solve the sys-tem optimization problem or its relaxation [4], [8], [9]. How-ever, the convergence of these algorithms has been establishedonly in the absence of feedback delay, and the impact of feed-back delay has been left open as well as any trade-off that mayexist between stability and selected utility and cost functions.In this work we establish a delay-independent global sta-bility criterion for system optimization problem in the pres-ence of arbitrary delay for simple one resource problem withone flow. This flow could be interpreted to represent aggre-gate behavior of the users in the system. This is derived usingthe invariance-based global stability results for nonlinear delay-differential equations [10], [3], [2]. This kind of global stabilityresults are differentfromthat basedon LyapunovorRazumikhintheorems in the sense that in our set up also hints the structure ofemergingperiodicorbits (like their periodicityandamplitude)inthe case of loss of stability.Generally speaking, our results tell us that if the user andresource curves have a stable market equilibrium, then corre-sponding dynamical equation for flow-optimization will con-verge to the optimal point in the presence of arbitrary delay.This result essentially shows that stability is related to utilityand price curves in a fundamental way. In particular, for a givenprice curve, it possible to design stable user utility functionssuch that the ensuing dynamical system converges to the opti-mal flow irrespective of communication delay. Conversely, ifthe underlying market equilibrium is unstable then it is possibleto find a large enough delay for which the optimal point losesits stability and gives way to oscillations. These results providean interesting perspective for designing end user algorithms andactive queue management (AQM) mechanisms.

As one kind of readily available renewable energy sources, wind is widely used in power generation where wind speed plays an important role. Generally speaking, we need to forecast the wind speed for improving the controllability of wind power generation. However, there exists considerable randomness and instabilities in wind speed data so that it is difficult to obtain accurate forecasting results. In this paper, we propose a novel fuzzy inference method based hybrid model for accurate wind speed forecasting. In this hybrid model, we adopt two strategies to enhance the estimation performance. On one hand, we propose the purification machine which utilize the Irregular Information Reduction Module (IIRM) and the Irrelevant Variable Reduction Module (IVRM) to reduce the randomness and instabilities of the data and to eliminate the variables with zero or negative effect in the wind speed time series. On the other hand, we adopt the developed Single-Input-Rule-Modules based Fuzzy Inference System (SIRM-FIS), the functionally weighted SIRM-FIS (FWSIRM-FIS) to realize the prediction of wind speed. This FWSIRM-FIS utilizes the multi-variable functional weights to dynamically measure the importance of the input variables so that the input-output mapping can be strengthened and more accurate forecasting results can be achieved. Furthermore, detailed experiments and comparisons are given. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed FWSIRM-FIS and purification machine contributes greatly to deal with the randomness and instability in the wind speed data and yield more accurate forecasting results than those existing excellent forecasting models.<|endoftext|>Land and Climate
The purpose of this chapter is to develop an overall view of the relations between human societies and the natural world in Central America from the beginning of human settlement to our time. The main findings reveal how the Isthmus’s biophysical features deeply conditioned human material and cultural development by playing a decisive though inconspicuous role in shaping the human societies that once inhabited the region and do so in present times. As to the socioenvironmental transformations generated by human action on the ecosystems, it is argued that the Isthmus’s environmental history was marked by brakes and jerks due to its structural character of extractive and productive activities that witnessed important modernization processes. Furthermore, the modernizing imprint of more recently developed activities significantly affected ecological change and landscape transformation. It is believed that regional history can be thought of as a long, complex socioecological transition, whose corollary is the significant dilapidation of the greatest wealth this geographical space has boasted since the beginning of human settlement: its biological and cultural diversity.<|endoftext|>ITC analysis of guest binding to a deep-cavity cavitand
Using the recommended modifications to isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) analysis proposed by Turnbull and Daranas (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2003, 125 14859–14866) and Tellinghuisen (Anal. Biochem. 2008, 373, 395–397), we determine the thermodynamic data for the binding of a series of halogenated guests to deep-cavity cavitand 1. These modifications allowed the accurate determination of the thermodynamic data of systems with c values of between 0.2 and 5; values that are much lower than is often suggested as the lower limit of ITC. The compiled data allowed a more accurate glimpse of the strength of the unusual C–H…X–R hydrogen bonds observed between these hosts and halogenated guests.<|endoftext|>Adsorption of Cetylpyridinium Chloride at Silica Nanoparticle/Water Interfaces (I): Dependence of Adsorption Equilibrium on Particle Size.
In the current work, a size-effect model was developed to describe the particle size-dependence of adsorption at solid/liquid interfaces. A parameter, ΔQad, was introduced, defined as the change of the product of the solid/liquid interfacial tension and the molar volume of solid surface components caused by adsorption. The model predicts that with a decrease in particle radius (r), the saturation adsorption amount per unit area (Γm, mol/m2) decreases, while the change of the adsorption equilibrium constant (Kad) is determined by the ΔQad, namely, it decreases if ΔQad > 0 but increases if ΔQad < 0. There exists a critical r at which the saturation adsorption amount per unit mass (Γmg, mol/g) attains a maximum. In addition, the adsorption of cetylpyridinium chloride (CPyCl), a cationic surfactant, on silica nanoparticles with different r (ca. 6-61 nm) values was determined at 298 K and pH 9, showing an obvious size-dependence. With a decrease in r, Kad and Γm decrease, indicating a decrease in the affinity of silica particles toward CPyCl. The size-dependent adsorption data can be well described using our model. Adsorption can affect the molar volume of the solid surface phase, which plays an important role in the size-dependence of adsorption. This work provides a better understanding of the size-dependent adsorption phenomenon at solid/liquid interfaces.<|endoftext|>March is National Nutrition Month – we’ve all head the importance of healthful eating and keeping up with physical activity. Nutrition is about more than diet: it’s about controlling your weight, maintaining chemical balance, and preventing disease. These are just a few of the long-term benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
Working long hours in an office is not the ideal way to stay healthy – let this month’s tips start habits to keep in healthy the whole work year.
Planning what you eat means preparing food for the right times. Eating on time is almost as important as eating well. Diets for health focus on eating smaller |

We have done a cursory search and if it's a community, we haven't been able to find any evidence that it still exists.
While we are confident that Vista was located in Raleigh County, we don't know its actual location within the county.
We've added Vista to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Vista - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Vista, please Contact Us.
Time Zone: The area where we believe that Vista might be (or was) located is in the Eastern Time Zone (EST/EDT) and observes daylight saving time
We believe that Vista would be found within the (304) and (681)<2> area codes.
Using our Gazetteer, we have found that there are 19 communities that are also named Vista - they are located in California, Florida, Iowa, Manitoba, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana (2), Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah and Washington.

Irving and Papale each made three shots from 3-point range for the Terriers (8-9, 2-2), whose 44.4 percent shooting (12 of 27) on 3-pointers was better than Binghamton's 30.9 percent (21 of 68) from all distances. Boston University made 30 of 55 shots overall.
The Terriers, who have won seven straight over the Bearcats (2-15, 0-4) used a 14-2 run to expand a three-point lead to a 40-25 margin with 2:30 left until halftime. The run included a four-point play by Papale.
Binghamton, which has lost 11 straight, got 17 points from Jimmy Gray and 14 from Jordan Reed. The Bearcats got to within 42-33 at halftime but no closer than seven points, 44-37 with 17:50 left, in the second half.<|endoftext|>Environmental

A little editorializing on this one, since I’m all finished with this project – this is one of my favorite pictures!! I love how it all came together. It was inspired by all the random stuff I get to do at my job, in particular that day, where I got to hang up vinyl circles all over the walls of one of our experiment rooms in order to make it more “child friendly” and less like an office. And, the barber chair I ordered arrived. That’s for our other children’s study.

Date: 2012-02-07
On 06 February 2012, the Minister of Tourism in Mozambique, Minister Fernando Sumbana Jnr, and the Minister of Water and Environmental Affairs in South Africa, Minister Edna Molewa, held an urgent meeting in Pretoria to find viable solutions to the scourge of rhino poaching that has seen the Kruger National Park (KNP) losing 252 rhino in 2011.
The meeting was also attended by top government officials in the respective departments of both countries; Mr Fundisile Mketeni the Deputy Director General (DDG) of Biodiversity in the Department of Environmental Affairs in South Africa, Dr David Mabunda the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of South African National Parks (SANParks) and Dr Bartolomeu Soto the Head of The Transfrontier Conservation Areas Unit in the Ministry of Tourism in Mozambique.
At the meeting Minister Molewa stressed that poaching in the KNP has escalated to such unacceptable levels that South Africa urgently requires the full cooperation and support of Mozambique if the killing of rhino was to be significantly reduced.
Recently Minister Molewa announced various ways she had pondered to reduce the incursions through the porous Mozambique border stretching between the Massingir and the Komatipoort areas, including:
- Adding 150 field rangers to increase law enforcement officers in the KNP to 650;
- Requesting the South African government to increase military presence in the KNP;
- Improving coordinated national efforts to increase intelligence gathering, and;
- The possibility of strengthening the border fence between Massingir and Komatipoort.
Minister Sumbana emphasized the commitment of Mozambique to conservation by stating that the Mozambican government has prioritized law enforcement efforts that go beyond the narrow focus of rhino poaching. Mozambique is currently pondering legislation that will elevate the offence of wildlife poaching to a criminal offence carrying heavier sentencing rather than the current offence of damage to property. He added that Mozambique’s natural resources are being plundered by organized Mafia. Further to the proposed legislation a new elite highly trained National Anti-poaching Unit has been formed and the first recruits will be graduating shortly and deployed in priority poaching areas.
Minister Sumbana further said that, “to the extent that Mozambique is desirous of ensuring effective and efficient management of its parks, the Mozambican government has passed a decree creating a flexible state-owned agency similar to that of SANParks. This will assist with management effectiveness and allow greater flexibility in sourcing funding than is currently the case.”
It was reported in the meeting that realizing the success of collaborating with Mozambique on the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park (GLTP) with reduced rhino poaching incidents and the difficulties of erecting a fence between Massingir and Komatipoort, Dr Mabunda had recently visited Dr Soto to discuss the idea of including the 220, 000 hectare Greater Lebombo Conservancy to act as an effective buffer for the KNP southern section linking with Mozambique. The idea has since morphed into a Transfrontier Conservation Area (TFCA) in line with the signed treaty that created the GLTP. Indeed, Article 3(2) of the signed treaty envisioned the TFCA in Mozambique to include “the Massingir and Corumana areas, as well as the interlinking regions” thus creating an immediate framework for bilateral between the two countries for the inclusion of the Greater Lebombo Conservancy. (See Map)
The two Ministers agreed to cooperate bilaterally to ensure that the planned TFCA was realized and concluded speedily. Drs Mabunda and Soto reported the high support for the TFCA by the |

#3 Kings of Leon vs. #14 Phoenix: Will this be the year the Kings make a deep run in the tourney? Um, probably not. For the second time in three years, they appear headed for a first-round exit, this time at the hands of Phoenix, who hold a pretty hefty lead. Surprisingly, this would be the third-straight year they make it to round two ... the trick now seems to be figuring out how to advance from there.
#4 Jack White vs. #13 Shinedown: White goes it alone in MMM 2012, and so far, he's finding it tough to shoulder the load. He owns a slim lead over upset-minded Shinedown, who look to continue the recent trend of heavy bands going deep in the tournament. Though they're trailing, we like Shinedown's spirit, and we're picking them to knock off White and advance.

#5 Linkin Park vs. #12 At the Drive-In: Last year, LP made it all the way to the Sweet 16 before getting bounced by Paramore. This year, we're pretty confident they'll make it past ATDI in round one (they're up by some 12,000 votes), but the selection committee certainly didn't do them any favors after that: They'll have to get past Evanescence if they want to finally taste the Elite 8.
#6 30 Seconds to Mars vs. #11 Sleigh Bells: Obviously, the selection committee has it out for the poor Sleigh Bells, who drew Linkin Park in the opening round last year and got 30 STM this year. As you'd probably expect, Jared Leto and company hold a sizable lead here and are locks to move on. Again though, Paramore await in the Sweet 16.
#7 Cage the Elephant vs. #10 Ke$ha: A surprisingly competitive 7/10 battle unfolding here, as Cage crept to the early advantage, then watched as Ke$ha — and her Kegels — roared all the way back to take the lead. This one's still too close to call, though perhaps this is finally the year Ke$ha advances to round two.
#8 My Morning Jacket vs. #9 Dave Matthews Band: This potential Birkenstock-burner has basically been a snoozer (our lowest-voted opening-round matchup), which may have something to do with MMJ and DMB fans being too, uh, sleepy to vote. It's the DMB by a bong rip so far, though given that the winner of this contest gets Evanescence next, well, does it really matter who wins?
MTV's 2012 Musical March Madness Tournament is under way!!<|endoftext|>Renovated minimal penthouse by Worrell Yeung tops Dumbo's Clocktower Building
Manhattan firm Worrell Yeung has renovated an apartment inside a former factory in Brooklyn's Dumbo neighbourhood, contrasting industrial finishes with the "pure minimal lines" of new fittings.
Worrell Yeung designed the renovation for a 3,200-square-foot (297-square-metre) apartment inside the Clocktower Building.
Built as a factory in 1914, the 16-storey building was converted into 124 residential units in 1998. The apartment renovated Worrell Yeung, called Four Corners, is located on the 14th floor.
To update the interiors, the team painted the walls, concrete ceilings and a single column all white. These provide a backdrop to new finishes that include three varieties of marble – used for vanities, countertops and built-in furniture – a speckled grey terrazzo, and a pair of volumes clad in white oak.
"The concrete ceiling and structure of the historical warehouse are exposed and expressed throughout to highlight the rawness and texture of the building, juxtaposed against warmer materials, and the pure minimal lines of the new elements," said Worrell Yeung in a project description.
Photographs of the apartment, taken before it was furnished, highlight the contrast between the building's industrial structure and the minimal treatment brought on by the renovation.
The residence featured an open-plan layout due to the arrangement of the factory. Its elevated position offers unique views of the city – including the Brooklyn, Manhattan and Williamsburg bridges, the Financial District, and the Midtown Skyline.
In order to provide divisions between different areas, while also leaving vistas open through the large windows open, Worrell Yeung inserted two oak-clad volumes into the centre of the space.
These contain a bar area and bookshelves, as well as services like the elevator core, emergency stairwell and laundry room.
"The design of this loft was inspired by the unique panoramic views of Manhattan and Brooklyn," said the studio, which is based in Chinatown.
"Two distinct volumes become the visual and organisational hub of the loft, allowing each space along the perimeter to take advantage of the expansive four exposures of the New York City skyline beyond."
Another volume clad in black wooden planks is located at the entrance. Inside, it contains a powder room, coat storage and an angular marble bench for residents to put on their shoes.
Access to the home's main social space is provided from here. The architects told Dezeen they prioritised the size of this area over the three bedrooms to offer plenty of space for entertaining guests.
Two of the bedrooms face north, overlooking Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan, while the third smaller bedroom faces east, away from the city. The architects saved the best view, however, for the library, which occupies the southern side of the apartment.
Worrell Yeung, which was established in 2014, has also refurbished an apartment in a former Second Empire-style building in Manhattan. Other projects by the studio include a barn in Upstate New York that doubles as an exterior living room.

of applicants, competing to be the man "best representing the Twin Cities in the categories of fitness, community involvement, personality, and intelligence."
Coming from the east side of the Mississippi, I can promise you that, contrary to what the website states, this winner won't represent St. Paul. You'd think organizers would know this, having chosen the title "One Man Minneapolis." Not that we St. Paulites have anything against the handsome young studs throwing their hats into the ring for this $5,000 prize. It's just that they're not the ideal fit for the old town.
I've looked them over, as anyone can by visiting onemanminneapolis.com, and the first strike against them is they're all going for the cover-boy look. That look would get you bounced from a Mr. St. Paul contest. We'd demand a face that looked like you'd done a little more living, maybe even took a punch somewhere along the line. We'd want to see some character lines and a hint of regret in your eyes that said a few things in life hadn't gone your way.
We wouldn't ask for your height and weight as the Minneapolis contest does. Short and fat works for us. We'd instead see if you had a soul. Not the one given all life, but a soul born from shedding a false persona somewhere along the line, exposing a vulnerable, flat-footed, human being.
"One Man Minneapolis" nobly stresses community involvement, though I've come across two versions of this in my life: one, where you remain near your own strata, sipping fine wine and eating exotic cheese while raising money for the homeless; and the other, where you walk into the weird neighbor lady's garbage house and hold your nose while helping others drag refuse to the alley. They both have admirable results. But one is a bit easier on the senses and comes with business networking opportunities.
Personality and intelligence are stressed in "One Man Minneapolis." However, personality can be tricky to judge. It can play wonderfully at the Pantages Theater, where final judging for this contest will take place, but come across poorly at a bus stop on the East Side. It may make for a winning combination during intermission at the Guthrie, but will it sell with an old Hmong woman on University Avenue?
As for intelligence, which type are we talking about: emotional, interpersonal, linguistic, visual-spatial, musical? I have friends who value kinesthetic intelligence, the best St. Paul example being Joe Mauer.
Now, when it comes to smarts, I always like to include the smart-ass. Skills in this area are honed growing up in the Capital City. A good smart-ass knows how to level the playing field in any room he walks into. This ability is a valued part of the arsenal for the metro's "Second City" citizens. I'd be delighted if a few smart-asses showed up at the Pantages.
If I were to create my ideal recipe for Mr. Twin Cities, I'd grab the 20 well-scrubbed contestants at "One Man Minneapolis" and add a measure of Charles Bukowski, the L.A. street poet. Instantly they'd appear as deeper thinkers, less puppet-like physical specimens, more down-to-earth, wily in character. Like Bukowski, they'd cotton to Mozart, but also to horse betting; dive bars, but also Schopenhauer. Women would like them, but not for their looks, and for community involvement they'd wipe the ass of at least one dying cancer patient.
At night they'd sit alone on their back porch listening to the crickets in the yard, and to the kids getting ready for bed in the bathroom upstairs. They'd smile wistfully, thinking about the wife they have, and the girl they let get away 20 years earlier. Slowly, tears would form, from some elusive grief. They'd light a little tobacco and close their eyes. In the darkness they'd hear their father's ghosts nearby, humming softly in the moonlight. And silently, they'd hum along.
Tough to work all this into a contest, I know. But that's why we don't have them in St. Paul.

We all need to eat to live, but food can be a major expense. Poss.ca shows you how you can slash your food bill by planning your meals and shopping wisely.
Tips
Plan Your Meals
In order to avoid a lot of food waste make sure to plan your meals before you go for a big shop. When meal planning, keep in mind the leftovers you already have in your fridge and try to use them up before they go bad. (Speaking of leftovers take a look at Supercook, a recipe search engine that finds recipes you can make with only the ingredients you have at home.) Oh, and before you head off in search of victuals don’t forget to make a shopping list, and once you’re in your favourite hunting ground make sure you stick to it, the grocery list, that is.
Stock Up on Specials
Check out the deals in the weekly grocery flyers delivered to your home or posted on sites like Grocery Alerts Canada. If you think you will use large quantities of something that’s a great bargain, stock up and freeze what you can't use now. Meat, bread, cheese, even fruit can be frozen, providing an alternative to rushing out and paying top dollar at the local convenience store.
Say No to Convenience Foods
If you have more time than money shop for price instead of convenience. For instance, instead of relying on expensive bags of precut broccoli, carrots and cauliflower cut up whole vegetables to put in stir fries. And make your own coffee instead of hitting up the local Starbucks. The How To Save Money On Groceries In Ontario article points out how you can save on meat by doing a little extra work. “To save money [on stewing meat] buy a blade or chuck roast and cut it into stewing beef yourself. A six-pound roast will give you enough meat to make several soups or stews. … Purchase a pork loin roast when it on sale and use half for a roast and the other half can be cut up to make pork chops.”
Consider Cheaper Alternatives
When it comes to nutrition, it doesn’t always pay to buy the cheapest food item (think of discounted half-dead veggies or three-for-$2 loaves of Wonderbread) but sometimes top dollar isn’t tops in food value. When it comes to meat, for instance, take a pass on the filet mignon as there are plenty of cheaper cuts that will give you just as much nutrition. As this Canadian Living article points out, lesser known parts such as pig’s trotters, pork jowls, oxtail and lamb neck can stretch your food dollar. As the 15 Cheap, Healthy Food Alternatives to Expensive Foods article notes, brown rice, oats, beans and root vegetables are inexpensive nutrition-packed foods.
Check the Unit Price
You can often save money by buying food in quantity; for instance, the four-litre bags of milk are usually cheaper per unit than one- or two-litre cartons. To be sure of getting the best deal check the unit price before buying.
Look for Coupons
You can also use coupons as a way to cut food costs. Save.ca will mail you selected coupons for groceries, housewares and grooming products. Grocery Alerts Canada has all the information you could ever want on how to become an “extreme couponer.”
Anyone who surfs the Internet has probably heard about the host of group buying sites, such as Grouponthat leverage the power of group bargaining to provide short-term daily deals that lead to huge savings. These sites offer deals on food items and restaurants as well as a vast array of non-edible products and services (think salsa lessons, yoga classes, facials, waxing, etc.).
Fill Your Fridge and Cupboard
Buy in Bulk
When you are only looking for a small amount of cereal, coffee, sugar, nuts, spices or the like, buying in bulk is cheaper than buying a large box, jar or bag at the supermarket. The lack of packaging helps the environment and the small quantity means you use less cupboard space. Check out the following bulk food stores:
Most health food stores also sell bulk items. In Thornhill, Ambrosia Natural Foods offers bulk food as well as discount vitamins and other health food. In addition to carrying bulk food, the West end's Foods for Life stocks a large variety of vitamins and dietary supplements at competitive prices. Blog TO also has good things to say about Herbs & Nutrition and Qi Natural Foods. In Kensington Market, Essence of Life, Tutti Frutti and Sugar & Spice carry bulk food and cheaper-than-usual supplements. A number of other independent stores in the Market, such as Casa Acoreana and the House of Spices, stock a wide variety of affordable bulk and packaged food items where you can pick up everything from quinoa to red lentils to tortillas. In the South St. Lawrence Market, Rube’s Rice sells flours, lentils and beans as well as a variety of rice and other grains. Nearby, Domino Foods has a wide range of bulk grains, nuts, dried fruits and spices as well as grocery items such as oils and vinegars, candy and chocolates.
Specific Items
Baked Goods
There are a number of bakery outlets in the Toronto area that sell low-cost bread, rolls and the like, such as:
- D |
for divers who particularly appreciate the ease of fit and comfort. In addition, the high elasticity of the whole improves the watertightness and reduces the circulation of water.
COMFORT is the right wetsuit for divers who particularly appreciate the ease of fit and comfort. In addition, the high elasticity of the whole improves the watertightness and reduces the circulation of water.
The outer coating is 100% Ultraspan® superelastic, quick-drying and more hydrodynamic, and the X-Plush© coating in the inner area, quick-drying and sliding, which facilitates the fit of the wetsuit. It is very pleasant and thermal and does not limit the original elasticity of the neoprene and outer fabric. It facilitates the positioning of the wetsuit and improves its thermal properties before, during and after the dive. The weave of the fabric and the type of fibre reduces water circulation and increases the thermal memory of the neoprene. It is also water-repellent, so drying is very fast. This combination of fabrics of similar elasticity allows them to be combined with a dense and compact neoprene to reduce the buoyancy of the suit and its level of compression.
Small reinforcement in Dyamond© fabric in areas of great erosion such as shoulders, shins and buttocks.
Collar with Anatomic Shape design, preformed at 120º for maximum comfort.
Significant design improvement that reduces water ingress at this critical point: the closure flap is now much wider and the neck area is prolonged to prevent infiltration during the neck tilt underwater.
Wrists and ankles are waterproofed with Glide Skin + Smooth double inner sleeves (to prevent them from sticking when not in use) and zippers.
Knee/tibia area with Tatex® wear-resistant elastic reinforcements. This type of reinforcement practically does not limit the elasticity of the neoprene, provides sufficient reinforcement and facilitates the positioning of the suit.
Hood with discreet valve system to discharge excess air during the ascent and system of attachment to the suit with a small carabiner. Optional.
Neoprene pocket on the side.
YKK zipper. Safety carabiner.
The level of finish is very complete without going into unnecessary sophistication and maintaining a moderate price level.
Reinforcement/tensioner with tab at the base of the rear zip.
Its black-dark grey combination makes it 100% combinable. All elements are independent and available separately.
Available in 5 and 7 mm versions.
The 5 mm jacket (optional), with 3.5 mm sleeves, is a very important element because it avoids the traditional inconvenience of the modular versions when used with two pieces, given their great elasticity.<|endoftext|>Autumn in India is all about festivals. Every day brings in the smell of the coming festivities, the joys and the of course the food. Shopping, visting places, meeting relatives and friends,travelling, pandal hopping, worshipping the goddesses, painting the house, coloring rangolis, eating, cooking – all comes as if in a package in this festival season.
For the last couple of days I had been doing all these. Visiting my native was one of the main dos in the list. I visited Kolkata, my hometown. As you all feel when you go back home after a long long time I felt the same. My mom, my aunts and everybody in there was ready to welcome me with my favorite platters. For one whole week I had been eating and eating with of course learning these dishes.
As I was not able to celebrate Diwali with my family, I managed to have the taste of the celebration a few days before the day. Me and my sister went out shopping for the terracotta diyas and painted them with acrylic paints, it was so much fun.
Talking about food I had a pretty good share of the typical home-made dishes and I’ll be putting up one in each of my following posts starting from today with Daler Vada. Daler vada is a typical Bengali starter and also a side dish with rice and dal.
Serves 4
Ingredients:
Motor Dal powder: 100 gms
Onions (Peyaj): 3 medium sizes, juliened
Green chilli (Kacha Lanka): 4, cut into small ringlets
Turmeric powder (Halud Guro): 1 teaspoon
Mustard oil (Sarser tel): 1 tablespoon and extra for deep frying
Salt to taste
Preparation:
- Take the onions in a bowl and pour in one tablespoon of oil and soak in the onions.
- Add the other ingredients to the onions.
- Pour in enough matter to make a soft dough and keep for half an hour.
- Heat oil in a pan and fry the dough in small balls.
- Serve with sauce as starter or with rice and dal as a great side dish.
Hope you had a great Diwali. Stay in touch for more updates on my Kolkata trip.
Happy Cooking and Happy Eating.

Let’s learn something more about these very special FUT 18 cards assigned to professional football players.
FIFA 18 PRO PLAYERS CARDS
INTRODUCTION | RELEASE DATE | RATINGS & STATS | PRO PLAYERS LIST | THE MARKET | OVERVIEW | FAQ
FIFA 18 Pro Players Cards
What are Pro Players Cards?
Pro Players cards are assigned by EA Sports to professional football players that play FUT 18 in a bid to make friends and gain exposure. When EA Sports have an existing relationship with a player and knows that he play FUT, they offer him his own and unique special card. They also send FIFA 18”.
Each professional player chosen by EA has his own Pro Player card. This cyan card is unique and cannot be sold. That is, you will not find them in packs neither in the transfer market (as it happened in the past). If you play against someone with one of these cards that’s because you are playing against a real professional football player.
Release Date
When FIFA 18 Pro Players Cards will be available?
FIFA 18 Pro Players cards are only available for professional football players. If you don’t play professional football in a top-quality club, then you will never get one.
These cards are not released all at once. Electronic Arts don’t announce them but they release these cards through the year.
Ratings and Stats
How big are the ratings and stats boosts?
All FIFA 18 Pro Players Cards are rated 99, regardless of the level or rating of their regular FUT card. This has always been the case since they were first introduced in FIFA 12. They also have unrealistically high attributes, that usually are greater than 90.
Pro Players List History
Who are the professional players who already got one of these cards?

approach was unsuccessful, the CEOs turned their attention to the Senior Partner of Deloitte, an individual who had been involved in our audit since LeisureNet’s inception in the 1980’s. They convinced him to resign his partnership at Deloitte’ and join the LeisureNet board of directors. This individual was a respected, much liked person with apparent integrity and moral standing.
Why did he choose to follow the unethical CEOs in the full knowledge of their maverick attitudes and disregard to corporate governance?
His move to the LeisureNet board ultimately allowed, possibly sanctioned, the removal of ZAR 900Million worth of leasehold liabilities from the LeisureNet Ltd 1999 balance sheet and reported financials. This collusion, setting the stage for fraud, illustrates the danger of the combination of narcissistic leaders and compliant followers.
Understanding the causes of organisational fraud requires consideration of the leaders, followers and the contextual factors that can create a toxic triangle making fraud more likely. Followers bear a responsibility for responding to a leader’s negative force especially if they are willing accomplices facilitating an unethical leader’s plans in order to bring themselves satisfaction from being recognised and accepted.
Is there a behavioural red flag that helps with identifying such a follower? Recent research indicates that there are personality traits associated with behavioural intentions to comply with the demands of an unethical CEO. One of these traits is ‘self-sacrificing-self-enhancement (SSSE)’, a form of maladaptive narcissism characterised by seemingly altruistic behaviours that are actually intended to boost self-esteem.
The LeisureNet organisational climate was pervasively egoistic, fostering self-interest, self centeredness and narcissism, shaped by the joint CEOs who were the founding members. Since Deloitte, and particularly the Senior Auditing partner, had been in a co creational ‘partnership’ for a significant number of years, perhaps there had been an acceptance and internalisation of the unethical CEOs’ dark vision in the influence process. The research suggests that a follower who internalises a dominant leader’s vision may be particularly susceptible to unethical leader directives because of the leader’s grandiose persona and due to these directives being framed in terms of being in the organisation’s best interests.
In sacrificing his moral identity, perhaps the senior auditing partner derived narcissistic pleasure from others recognition of his actions along with an increased sense of self-worth and belonging. This “masochistic altruism” is self-serving, rather than other-serving. Self Sacrificing-Self enhancement (SSSE) may also have provided him with a built-in rationalisation and willingness for unethical acts on the CEO’s behalf in addition to obligating others and enhancing his self-presentation.
Utilising my case demonstrates the importance to those responsible for corporate governance of understanding follower as well as leader motivations to commit unethical or fraudulent acts, how follower tendencies might influence follower compliance, and how better to intervene to counteract or monitor the dynamics of potentially harmful leader-follower relationships.
So what’s the antidote for Self Sacrificing-Self Enhancement behaviour? Courageous resistance, which is necessary for followers to resist destructive leadership. Building courageous resistance includes developing a long-term focus enabling people to anticipate problems and consequences and act proactively to deal with them immediately. Courage enables individuals to seek satisfactory explanations via Courageous Conversations rather than simply following orders. It is through courage that we can develop the highest level of intended resistance to leader pressure for unethical compliance.

A new species of Russula subgenus Brevipedum, Russula luteolamellata, is described from the Yanshan Mountains in northern China based on morphology and phylogenetic analysis of the nrITS and nrLSU-RPB2-mtSSU gene regions. Russula luteolamellata is characterized by the yellowish to pale orange pileus, white to yellowish lamella with a few rust-colored spots at the margin, a low density of warts on the basidiospores, and pileocystidia that turn gray in sulfovanillin. Detailed morphological and habitat comparisons of Chinese species in subgenus Brevipedum are given.<|endoftext|>Topographic patterns of intestinal metaplasia and gastric cancer
OBJECTIVE:The role of intestinal metaplasia in gastric oncogenesis has been demonstrated by both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. This study was designed to determine whether, in a population at high risk for gastric cancer, different topographical patterns and phenotypes of intestinal metaplasia were associated with different degrees of cancer risk.METHODS:A total of 68 Colombian patients with gastric cancer and 67 controls with nonulcer dyspepsia were studied by an extensive biopsy protocol. Intestinal metaplasia was assessed semiquantitatively by histology and was characterized histochemically. In both patients and controls, the Spearman's correlation test was applied to the test if the gastric distribution of metaplastic lesions resulted in specific topographical patterns associated with different risks for cancer.RESULTS:Four topographical patterns of intestinalization emerged: 1) “Focal,” in 14 cancer patients and 16 controls; 2) “Antrum-predominant,” in seven cancer patients and six controls; 3) “Magenstraße” (involving the lesser curvature from cardia to pylorus) in 25 cancer patients and four controls. This pattern was associated with higher cancer risk (OR = 5.7; 95% CI: 1.3–26) than were the two less extensive patterns; and 4) “Diffuse,” involving essentially the entire gastric mucosa with the exception of the fundus, was unique to 13 cancer patients. The OR for cancer was 12.2; 95% CI: 2.0–72.9. Incomplete-type metaplasia significantly correlated with the extent of total metaplasia and was also associated with greater cancer risk.CONCLUSIONS:In a population with high risk for gastric cancer, the extension of intestinal metaplasia correlates with the extent of its “incomplete” phenotype and is significantly associated with increased cancer risk. Both the extent and location of intestinal metaplasia along the lesser curvature (from the cardia to the prepyloric zones) identify patients with the highest cancer risk.<|endoftext|>What is the moral lesson in the Story "The Far and The Near"?
It might be useful to think of "The Far and the Near" as an observation that our realities are shaped by our perceptions. For years, the engineer had observed the mother and child from a distance and made assumptions about them that turned out to be false when he went out of his way to actually meet them. It is fair to say that Wolfe invites readers to question their own assumptions in life and be forewarned that if investigated, those assumptions can lead to disappointment or disillusionment.

<|endoftext|>Nondestructive Quantitative Analysis of Difficult-to-Measure Radionuclides 107Pd and 99Tc.
Considering the expanding demand for nuclear waste management of the spent nuclear fuel materials in near future, a nondestructive analytical scheme applicable to one of the most difficult-to-measure nuclides 107Pd, which emits no decay γ-rays and whose half-life is too long to be decayed out during a human lifetime, was designed. The scheme consists of a sophisticated instrument capable of the detection of γ-rays by Ge detectors coupled with time-of-flight measurement of neutrons and a high-intensity pulsed neutron beam and can simultaneously perform time-of-flight-coupled prompt γ-ray analysis (TOF-PGA) as well as PGA and neutron resonance capture analysis (NRCA). The analytical capability for simulated samples of the Tc-platinum group metals (Tc-PGMs) obtained by the group-partitioning process of spent nuclear fuels, which contain not only 107Pd but also 99Tc and other difficult-to-measure fission products, was evaluated. It was confirmed that although PGA and NRCA can accurately analyze both nuclides in individual, single substances, only TOF-PGA can analyze 107Pd as well as 99Tc in the Tc-PGM-simulated sample. The TOF-PGA measurement technique can be widely used for the nondestructive analysis of 107Pd and 99Tc in nuclear wastes.<|endoftext|>SOCIOECONOMIC AND COERCIVE POWER WITHIN THE FAMILY

I will make a separate post on what to watch on Netflix.
20. Change around some furniture – I know it sounds silly but changing around the furniture is a great way of having a quick home decor change.
21. Join in doing PE with Joe if you have kids or even join in regardless (the body coach) – We have been doing this every morning for 30 minutes! Even I join in.
22. Homeschool kids if you have them if they are nursery/school age – I know it’s different but they are so many helpful websites out there to make sure they learn while the schools are off.
23. Create something – You can paint, draw or even make something with any cardboard such as empty cereal packets.
24. Watch some movies together– We are pretty lucky the Disney + has come out! They are many a movie on there for the whole family to watch. I can’t wait to watch Tarzan. Netflix and Amazon prime have a good selection too.
25. Learn a new subject – My kids love learning new things and I have been teaching things such as history and things they haven’t yet learnt in school.
26. Phone/Facetime/Sykpe Family/ Friends – We can’t see their grandparents and great-grandma for a while so we like to keep in contact via phone.
27. Read books – My kids have a good selection of books to choose from and so do I. I like reading for at least 30 minutes a day.
28. Exercise – We all know exercise is important but even more so now that we need to be home. We like to do PE with Joe wicks in the mornings.
29. Make a duvet fort – This can be so much fun for all the family.
30. Watch Disney + – I am so glad I downloaded this! It has some of my old favourites on it and lots of programmes my kids like too.
31. Make a list of thing you want to do after lockdown – Every day we write something new in my diary of things we are looking forward to most.
32. Plan ahead the week’s shopping – We should be reducing the amount we go shopping so try making a list of what you need to avoid forgetting and making more trips.
33. Watch Prime Tv – I didn’t think I needed this but it is plenty of things to watch on here from movies to series, Im hooked.
34. Learn something new- With so many courses to choose from, now is a brilliant time for looking into it.
What things are you doing while staying at home?
I'm also trying to catch up on my reading and Netflix. cooking more, exercising in front of the TV. I thought I'd have more time for my blog but I don't actually. Still, I try to make the most of it, as hard as it is on a sunny day.
Great post. It's important we all stay active. We want to use this time to recharge but also to better ourselves where we can.
I watch a lot of movies and read books (also have a lot of these stocked up!). Also I still try to workout.
Those were some really helpful tips. Looking forward to try them on my moments of boredom.
DIY and change the furniture around are 2 high on my list, been putting both off.
Some absolutely wonderful ideas here! I think it's important to stay busy while quarantined, even though one may feel inspired to zone out on the couch all day. I've been keeping up with my blog, writing, and working on some artistic projects. I think I'm having the hardest time relaxing actually, which is why I'm glad you included a lot of fun activities on your list: pajama day, Netflix, board games…I need to remember that just living through this pandemic is stressful and that I should try to have fun. Thanks!
Some great ideas. I need to get Disney +, it seems like everyone is watching it. I should probably start doing the Joe Wicks work out as well. Hopefully this won't last for too long.
PS: Love your hat!
Ok I've been investing into cooking homemade recipes for my family and it's been really fun. My favorite tip from your list was the one about looking forward to the future. It's easy to forget that this will be over. I think focusing on the future keeps optimism alive, which gives us some light at the end of the tunnel.
Great list! I've been cleaning, cooking, and reading a lot. I also started something new on my blog that is totally out of my comfort zone.
Great list! Tomorrow we are doing "family Olympics"… straws for the javelin throw, paper plates for discus, a house of cards competition, paper airplane contest, and a ping pong tournament. I even made awards for the winners. We all have to get creative now. lol Thank you for giving me more inspiration.
A great list of ideas! I've just downloaded Disney+, so definitely making the most of that!<|endoftext|>OPPO chinese smartphone maker tipped to debut the upcoming Reno 5 Series will include three models likely Reno 5, Reno 5 Pro and Reno 5 Pro Plus teasers to announced on December 10 in China.

Kylie Jenner marches to a high-low drumbeat.
Keeping it casual in Calabasas and Malibu, the E! reality star stepped out on Saturday in two different looks for some retail therapy in the posh California communities.
Kylie Jenner wears Ian Connor’s Revenge x Storm sneakers ($200) and sweatpants by Chloe ($1,295).
For a trip to Malibu, she played off a weather motif teaming her new Revenge x Storm sneakers ($200) with Chloe’s rainbow-striped “Cady” track pants ($1,295) and a Champion x Urban Outfitters reverse weave hoodie ($65). The reality star debuted the kicks by Ian Connor, Kanye West’s former muse, on Monday.
Earlier in the day, she took a spin in her boyfriend Tyga’s yellow Lamborghini to Sephora’s outpost at The Commons at Calabasas.
Kylie Jenner wears Yeezy mesh ankle boots; $697; Yeezysupply.com.
Stomping out at the upscale shopping plaza in West’s Yeezy mesh ankle boots ($697), she complemented the look with her sister Khloe Kardashian’s Good American jeans ($189), The Kylie Shop’s “Dad” hat ($35), and a sample hoodie by Hubble Studios.
The hat featuring Brand Kylie’s signature lip pout logo was sold in December at two concurrently launched business ventures — a pop-up store at the Topanga Westfield shopping plaza in Canoga Park, Calif., and an e-commerce store at Kyliejennershop.com.
Meanwhile, Khloe Kardashian debuted her denim line with Good American in October that’s “designed for a curvier, sexier and stronger shape,” according to the label, which is sold online and at Nordstrom stores.

Since contaminated tubes cannot be used for collecting blood, the producer started to change the conveyor belt very frequently, causing extra cost in production.
To solve the contamination problem, the producer needed a premium quality conveyor belt that prevents contaminated tubes, and features frayless behavior and high temperature resistance.
Habasit recommended FNB-5EZCH-P1 that has frayless edges, good abrasion resistance, and high temperature resistance. Easy cleanability and hydrolysis resistance are other valuable features of the belt. After the premium TPU belt was installed to replace the old belt, it has proven to be a reliable and long-life quality solution to the end user's application, avoiding extra cleaning |
extreme severity of an unsafe home.
With the song “This Land Is Your Land” playing in the background, the commercial started off in the USA, with shots of people, cities, and natural beauty. But by the time the song hit its second verse, the commercial had spread throughout the world and had showcased multitudes of people from all reaches of the globe.
With the song and the video, this innocent Jeep commercial hit a huge chord when it came to the idea of people taking care of one another. Both Coca-Cola and Jeep look to be spreading the right kind of message to their consumers. Their message is that we only have one world, one life, so why waste time spreading hate and inequality when happiness and togetherness mean so much more?
Stopping hate and insults was also the target for the Always commercial “Like A Girl.” Insults are insults, and Always is targeting the common phrase of “like a girl,” a bold stand, but not an impossible one.
Overall, the serious/positive nature of this year’s Super Bowl commercials was almost refreshing. Recently it seemed that ads have become a joke with no meaning, but what better way to broadcast to millions of people that your company is standing for something more?
Hopefully, the trend can continue, as there will always be mountains to climb when it comes to equality, happiness, and hate.
<|endoftext|>A 2/3'' 1k*1k FT-CCD Imager with High Charge-Handling Capacity by Use of the P2-CCD Principle
For many machine-vision and scientific applications, a high-resolution CCD imager with square pixels and operating in progressive-scan mode is required, because in many applications with fast moving scenes the time offset of image capture between the two interlaced fields of conventional broadcast-oriented imagers is unacceptable. The aim of this work was to modify the pixel of an existing interlaced 1024(H) × 512(V) FT-CCD imager into a progressive scan 1024 × 1024 pixel device, operating at 30 full frames per second with only minor modifications. Because of technical and commercial requirements, the new progressive scan CCD has to fit into the existing camera module for the interlaced device with minimal changes of the electronics. Thus a true progressive scan high-resolution CCD imager was developed, with pixel dimensions of 7.5 × 7.5 ¿m2 and a high charge-handling capacity (Qmax) of 80 000 electrons per pixel, that can replace the interlaced device. By splitting the existing 4-phase CCD pixel with vertical anti-blooming (VAB) into two 4-phase pixels with an additional profiled-peristaltic (p2) implant, only minor changes in the camera electronics are required. This shallow arsenic P2-implant provides a shallow but deep potential well, so that a larger charge packet can be stored. The performance parameters, such as optical sensitivity, charge transfer efficiency, VAB and electronic shutter, of the progressive imager are almost identical to those of the interlaced device. The Qmax of the new P2-CCD is more than doubled compared to the conventional 2-phase approach for achieving progressive scan.<|endoftext|>ATRX and DAXX: Mechanisms and Mutations.
Recent genome sequencing efforts in a variety of cancers have revealed mutations and/or structural alterations in ATRX and DAXX, which together encode a complex that deposits histone variant H3.3 into repetitive heterochromatin. These regions include retrotransposons, pericentric heterochromatin, and telomeres, the latter of which show deregulation in ATRX/DAXX-mutant tumors. Interestingly, ATRX and DAXX mutations are often found in pediatric tumors, suggesting a particular developmental context in which these mutations drive disease. Here we review the functions of ATRX and DAXX in chromatin regulation as well as their potential contributions to tumorigenesis. We place emphasis on the chromatin remodeler ATRX, which is mutated in the developmental disorder for which it is named, α-thalassemia, mental retardation, X-linked syndrome, and at high frequency in a number of adult and pediatric tumors.<|endoftext|>A fundamental limit in the detection of angular modulation in coherent optical communications
In order for the system to be sensitive to phase modulation (PSK), heterodyne or homodyne detection must be used, the latter being the easiest to implement since no strict control of the phase of the local oscillator laser is needed; only central/frequency stability in an AFC scheme is required. Assuming operation in the quantum limit, the photodetector output processes consists of the PSK signal spectrally translated to the (electronic) intermediate frequency (i.f.), affected by both additive (shot) noise due to the photon nature of light signal and phase noise due to the unavoidable finite linewidth in the longitudinal spectrum of both transmitter and local oscillator semiconductor lasers.<|endoftext|>Thailand's Corporate Restructuring Experience through Formal Bankruptcy Procedures: Economic and Legal Perspectives
In spite of fairly recent legal experimentation, Thailand's corporate reorganization through formal bankruptcy procedures has facilitated and speeded up financial recovery for big and medium-sized insolvent firms, especially after 1999. The study found co-operative restructuring to be more predominant than hostile and aggressive types. Though different in design, basic feature and pattern of U.S. Chapter 11 in which debtors manage the reorganized firms were empirically observed. Legal rules that are conducive to acceptance of the plan and judicial leniency may give rise to weak ex ante discipline, allocative inefficiency, various opportunistic behaviours, unfairness between creditors and debtors, and among creditors. Future changes in legal rules are suggested to enhance efficiency and fairness.<|endoftext|>Analysis of the influence of the geometric form at the outlet of the injector on the protection of a gas turbine combustor liner
Numerical investigations of a real scale gas turbine combustor operating under industrial conditions were conducted in this paper. The studied combustion chamber has a high degree of geometrical complexity related to the injection system as well as the cooling system based on a big distribution of small holes (about 3390 holes) bored on the liner walls. The main aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the type of widening at the outlet of the injector on the distribution of the temperature of the walls of the flame tube. In order to do this, two cases were considered: the first case corresponds to a sudden widening and the second case corresponds to a conical widening by the addition of a conical divergent piece at the outlet of the injection system. The calculations were carried out using the industrial CFD code Ansys FLUENT. The difference between the maximum temperatures reached shows the important role of this piece in the protection of the cap of the flame tube. The results showed that the addition of the conical divergent piece permits to considerably reduce the maximum temperature of the liner cap. In fact, the temperature decrease is of the order of 300 ° C near the injector and more than 800 ° C elsewhere, which corresponds to a reduction of 17% and 50% respectively.<|endoftext|>Nucleic acid relatedness studies on the genus Carnobacterium and related taxa.
None of the species Carnobacterium piscicola, C. divergens, C. mobile or C. gallinarum showed significant DNA-DNA homology between themselves and other lactic acid bacteria [corrected]. Nevertheless, the Carnobacterium species were found to belong to the same ribosomal RNA homology cluster. The species in this cluster were distant from the other bacteria tested.<|endoftext|>A Flat Process Calculus for Nested Membrane Interactions
The link-calculus has been recently proposed as a process calculus for representing interactions that are open (i.e. that the number of processes may vary), and multiparty (i.e. that may involve more than two processes). Here, we apply the link-calculus for expressing, possibly hierarchical and non dyadic, biological interactions. In particular, we provide a natural encoding of Cardelli’s Brane calculus, a compartment-based calculus, introduced to model the behaviour of nested membranes. Notably, the link-calculus is at, but we can model membranes just as special processes taking part in the biological reaction. Moreover, we give evidence that the link-calculus allows one to directly model biological phenomena at the more appropriate level of abstraction.<|endoftext|>Design of a new photonic/plasmonic microcavity allowing a strong light-matter interaction
We present a novel configuration of photonic/plasmonic microcavity with a 1D photonic crystal cavity (PhC) vertically coupled to a metal slot. A strong light-matter interaction is allowed, due to a strong photons confinement in the metal slot, which corresponds to a low mode volume (V = 2×10<sup>-3</sup> (λ/n)<sup>3</sup>). A Q-factor of 2.6×10<sup>3</sup> has been obtained, providing a ultra-high Q/V = 1.3×10<sup>6</sup> (λ/n)<sup>-3</sup>, with a resonance transmission of 48 % λ = 1563.70 nm. Accurate 3D Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations have been performed to design the cavity. Optical trapping has been identified as the most suitable application for the proposed device, due to a strong gradient of the light field in the metal slot that allows high values of optical force and, consequently, the ability to trap nanoparticle with a diameter less than 100 nm.<|endoftext|>Space-Polarization Division Multiple Access System with Limited Feedback
This paper proposes a space-polarization division multiple access (SPDMA) system that has limited feedback channels. The system simultaneously serves data streams to multiple mobile users through dual-polarized antenna arrays, by using pre-determined sets of precoding vectors that are orthogonal in both space and polarization domains.

PROJECT UPDATE: Part One of my tutorial series is nearly done. This one is for the just-starting-out, don't know my specular from my elbow, beginner. It's like 3D Painting With Numbers ... trust me: we'll have you making a glorious shot in the first tutorial. I'm doing it as a PDF, just a "bite size" document to download and work through, and you'll be well on your way. Then I'll tackle the next one! Look for this in a couple of days...
And more to come in the New Year! I'm working on new versions of all the "old" art, and will revamp the webpages. Might even do new covers for the paperbacks eventually ... especially when the #6 comes out. Might do a new edition for the whole lot!
<|endoftext|>Tarmac has delivered this striking university campus on time and within its £33m budget this week – but will it make the grade as an Egan demonstration project?
Teaching begins this week in the Docklands campus of the University of East London, the first new university campus in the capital for half a century.
Designed by Edward Cullinan Architects, it is one of the most eye-catching collections of higher education buildings in the UK. What is more, it looks like making the grade as an Egan demonstration project.
The campus runs along the Royal Albert Dock, a 2 km length of water that, even on a fine day, can be whipped up into sizeable waves. With no surrounding features to relate to, the buildings create a strong yet protective environment.
The ingredients of Cullinan’s environment include vibrant blue, green, yellow and terracotta colours on plain rendered walls. Added to these are the dynamic forms of drum-shaped halls of residence with butterfly roofs and repeated northlight roofs with wave-shaped aluminium eaves.
The academic blocks extend to sharp points that cantilever over a pedestrian piazza. These also help protect the piazza from strong winds.
Yet beneath its glamorous exterior, the first phase of the campus has been built as a demonstration project for the Egan principle of value for money. The 19 000 m2 of academic space, plus 384 student bedrooms, were built for only £33m. Design-and-build contractor Tarmac (now Carillion) reduced the contract sum by value engineering from a tender price of £36m, partly by treating contaminated soil by binding it in situ with a lime and cement slurry.
The project was completed in time for the start of the academic year this week, despite Tarmac using three months of the 18-month programme for the value-engineering exercise. The buildings should also be cheap to run, as Termodeck hollow-core concrete floors distribute fresh air.
The project team included Turner & Townsend as project manager, Whitby Bird & Partners as structural engineer, Fulcrum Consulting as services engineer, Gardiner & Theobald as QS and GMW as contractor’s architect.<|endoftext|>Analytic hierarchy process methodology in part selection for fused deposition modelling in the South African railway industry
This study proposes a methodology to identify, evaluate and select parts, components and products within the railway environment that will benefit from the Fused Deposition Modelling Additive Manufacturing technology at the initial conceptual design phase. A review on the state-of-the-art in Multi-Criteria Decision-Making models is presented, focusing on the Fused Deposition Modelling Additive Manufacturing process. The criteria identified in the literature were used to develop a custom evaluation model for part selection specific to railway maintenance applications using the Analytic Hierarchy Process. The proposed methodology is validated using case studies from published literature and then applied to railway-specific case studies to determine its benefit using the Fused Deposition Modelling technology. The railway case studies present functional end-use 3D printed replacement parts, custom tooling and prototype products for railway infrastructure and rolling stock vehicles. Lastly, the proposed methodology was integrated into a program using Visual Basic and Microsoft Excel to assist novice railway engineers in identifying whether parts will benefit from the 3D printing process.<|endoftext|>If anyone wants a higher resolution scan just drop me a note.

Bombrini Parodi-Delfino is hyphenated in the advertisement. Does it mean that the company is established by 2 people, Bombrini and Parodi-Delfino?
Parodi and Delfino are Both Names of Families of Genovese origin, infact “Parodi” is so common in Genova and Liguria Region, it is the classical name for a Genovese in Jokes about the People and region.
Delfino derives from the two words, Del (of) Fino ( fine,as in Thin, acute,(in money or thinking) or “The end”); Delfino also means “Dolfin” ( Sea Mammal) and also “Heir” or Successor as in the French, “Dauphin”); Genova, being a Maritime Republic in the Middle ages and Renaissance, would have the Mediterranean Dolfin as a symbol of sea connection and as a family crest.
Bombrini can be a Family name, but also mean “Small Bombs” of the shattering kind.
I don’t know if there was any interfamily connection between Parodi and Delfino to justify the Hyphenation…it may just signify the Association in the company.
The Stockings are made of a form of Rayon, made from Cellulose Nitrate ( non explosive type), made just before the war soon after DuPont patented the process.

In this paper, we present a novel pen-based system for teaching collaborative composition. Its major objective is the enhancement of the composition process, based on its contributions in the interface and groupware fields. The interaction towards the other co-authors and professor as well with respect to the machine is improved, due to the system capacity of integrating handwritten gestures, annotations and text. On the other hand, all typical tasks of composition, such as brain storming (individual and cooperative) planning (individual and cooperative), edition (individual) and revision (individual and cooperative), are supported in their collaborative form, by this CSCW system called PENCACOLAS (PEN Computer Aided Composing cOLlAborative System). We should note, that although several elements of the proposed system have been already individually proposed, the integrated system for educational purposes is new.<|endoftext|>I have been working in food safety for about five years and following the forums for about that long. I worked in quality assurance / regulatory affairs in medical devices prior to my current position. I did a few quick searches on the forums for guidance on the new BE labeling requirements. The way I understand it, if a supplier tells us that the ingredient we purchase from them is not BE due to refining, etc. and has no genetic material present we do not have to label our product as BE even if that ingredient is from a known BE crop. What evidence should I be asking for from my suppliers to support their claim of no BE?
What is BE ?
The suppliers may be able to provide e.g. PCR results showing no modified DNA is detectable, and/or process details to that demonstrate why this is the case?
Yes, BE is bioengineered. I have played around with the USDA decision tool and so far, I like it. If a supplier tells me their item does not contain DNA I would not be out of line to require them to provide me with the process validation and test results proving the absence of DNA? In my previous life in medical devices I rarely had issues getting information from suppliers. It has been my experience so far in food manufacturing that getting information from our suppliers is like pulling teeth. Is that normal, or are our suppliers just being difficult?
Your suppliers are alas not atypical in the food industry. I've never understood it, as the people being chased are fellow QA/technical folk so must also understand the frustration of getting no / indifferent / slow support.
Sometimes it can be a case of asking for something that they haven't done or thought about, and them being somewhat embarrassed about it to the extent they'd prefer to just ignore you and appear inept, rather than admitting it isn't in place and positively advising that they're working on it.
Thank you for the insight. I hadn't considered the suppliers not having the information and not wanting to 'fess up to it. I suppose one of my faults is sometimes I'm too honest. lol I think part of my frustration is too, that in this company I have to request everything from the purchasing manager.

One of the most important developments where the increase of computing power and data availability comes together is automation.
So, a robot (or bot) may very well be a robotic arm designed to place doors on cars in a factory or a series of algorithms designed to automatically patch through a caller to the right contact within a call center.
The impact of this hyper-automation is huge and has many implications for the way businesses need to respond, especially on the human/employee aspect.
What is the current state of HR process automation and how will this likely evolve in the future?
According to a recent survey by PWC among 600 HR and HR information technology (IT) leaders on six continents, intelligent automation or process automation is the focus for 45% of the participants.
With an ever-growing spend on HR technology, HR management seeks out to automate human resources as much as possible, so that the human resources staff are freed up so that they can attend to their jobs with greater efficiency.
When basic HR tasks are automated, the whole HR department is enabled to shift from a supportive, administrative, and mainly operational department to a front-line, business-driven strategic department that can provide the agility a business needs to thrive in the future.
Indeed, most organizations (over 98% according to a survey by Sierra) big and small have a payroll software solution in place that at least partially automates repetitive payroll tasks.
In the future, RPA can be used to aid the recruitment process by automating the online sourcing process by canvassing hundreds of talent pools and databases for quality candidates. It will also become possible to deploy chatbots that leverage sentiment analysis and computational linguistics to interpret a candidate’s communication and to formulate an appropriate response.
The main benefit of an automated performance review is that HR only needs to monitor the process, facilitate any technical difficulties, resolve any unwanted steps in the process, and improve every review period. Sure, there is this long-standing discussion on the use of performance reviews. This is probably something automation can’t resolve, but however you design the process, automation is key to make the experience as accessible as possible.
The examples above are already available in most HR technology suites or point solutions. There are of course many more current examples of HR process automation but for now, I would like to start looking at the future of HR automation.
In the future, we will be using analytics to tie it all together and applying complex algorithms on data across all processes in an integrated way. This enables organizations to customize the employee experience in such a way that employees feel like the organization is providing tailored services to their specific needs.
This is something dubbed the Workforce of one. I have written about this development before and I think the next 5 to 10 years we’ll be seeing a major shift in the HR technology landscape while HR technology matures further and analytics integrates within HR technology.
Once sets of algorithms (AI) can access multiple (HR) technological platforms and can access a wide range of data, the services HR is able to provide will be rich in customization and personalization. This will go way beyond automating basic HR tasks, but these AI bots will learn from their environment and help employees perform better at their work and experience their workflow in a way that suits them.
We are already seeing a shift of mindset in HR towards business impact and I think we can all agree employee experience is currently the most popular buzz-term in HR.
Put simply, the automation of HR processes gives HR business partners more time and focus on tackling actual business issues instead of chasing managers to do their performance reviews on time. This means that HR experts can focus on improving the integrated employee experience instead of constantly reinventing basic talent practices in their own siloes.
Beyond the HR operation, AI-driven technology might produce strategic scenario’s based on data and provide suggestions for tactical HR policies accordingly. HR leadership will then only need to make choices (or conclude that the algorithms are not configured correctly).
In conclusion, we might want to start thinking about the further implications of automation beyond the replacement of simple HR tasks. As AI technology advances we might also rely on complex algorithms to replace significant and time-consuming parts of the decision-making process in strategy and policymaking: collecting and processing information.

Senior Joseph Reis was one of the millions of young Catholics who arrived in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to celebrate World Youth Day from July 23 – 28.
World Youth Day (WYD) is an event organized by the Catholic Church that aims to instill faith in Catholic children and young adults. This year’s event was the most populous World Youth Days to date as well as the first for Pope Francis,.
Reis, a psychology major, had always wanted to attend World Youth Day and got the chance when vice president of campus ministry and university events, Pamela Shea-Byrnes, informed him that he was chosen to be a student representative in November.

In order to ensure excellent drip irrigation system performance, routine maintenance of the system has to be planned.
Regardless of recent innovations in drip irrigation system design that, among other things, make drip lines remarkably resistant to atmospheric events and malfunctions due to clogging, maintenance keeps being a priority.
Indeed, a filtration system by its nature has a limited duration in time and is subject to wear. In the same way, the use of fertigation can easily cause clogging, too.
Clogging of the irrigation system may cause damage to the current crop that would not receive a sufficient water amount. This would endanger an important economic investment that would not see a return on investment due to incorrect crop growth.
The reference readings and constant monitoring of the flow rate, pressure and cleaning water conditions can provide important indications on how to schedule maintenance interventions.
In addition to these values, pumping system and distribution system conditions will have to be inspected and calibrated. For this reason, control units, engines, injectors, pipes, valves, fittings, flow meters and pressure gauges should be checked.

The presence of any pressure loss through the filters must be checked at each irrigation cycle. Indeed, a malfunction of the filtering system would cause inadequate irrigation as the crops do not receive the right water requirement.

When the maximum tolerable value is being exceeded or approached, it indicates the presence of a filter occlusion.

P Case-Shiller index is a composite of home prices determined by tracking repeat sales of homes over time to gauge their rise or fall in value. The Chicago area index is down 37.5 percent from its peak in September 2006.
Prices are expected to continue to drop as strict lending standards remain the norm and distressed homes litter the market creating a bottleneck of foreclosures in the state court system’s already slow processing procedures.
The S&P Case-Shiller index of Chicagoland condominium prices showed a 2.4 percent decline in February from January, also its sixth monthly decline in a row. The index was down 9.1 percent from a year earlier and 39.3 percent from its September 2007 apex.
As the Chicago real estate region strives to move out of the traffic jam of foreclosures and declining home prices, it’s easy to say that the future looks grim. However, on the flip side, sellers are becoming more realistic in dealing with this turbulent market, resulting in a surge in home sales for the month of March.
As the song says, “all we need is just a little patience.” Right now, Chicagoland has to take the good with the bad as the real estate market climbs out of these down times to a more stable future.<|endoftext|>Title: Waterfell
Author: Amalie Howard
Release Date: October 29, 2013
Publisher: Harlequin Teen
Pages: 360
Source: Received egalley for review
Synopsis: (taken from:
I was so excited to read this book especially after I read the description. I hate to say this but the book fell short for me.
Waterfell is about the queen, Nerissa, of an alien race called the Aquarathi. Nerissa is warned to leave Waterfell and go the human world so she can survive after her father is brutally murdered. In the human world, she becomes complacent with her human life and has no wish to ever go back to Waterfell and rule. She does not feel she is good enough to rule because she does not garner the same respect as her father. Nerissa must decide what is important to her; being queen to her kind or pretending to be something she isn’t.
The first half of the book was repetitive for me. I felt like Nerissa was saying the same thing over and over again. Nothing really happened; I was reading a lot of explanations. At about 40% of the book, things started to get more interesting. The author started throwing in some twist and turns I really did not expect. I really liked the magical powers of the Aquarathi. I especially liked Nerissa’s powers. For example, if she comes into contact with another full blood Aquarathi they have to show themselves to her…that’s pretty cool.
I didn’t really like Nerissa, especially in the beginning. I found her character to be a little boring. There was no depth to her. Little by little, as I read, I was able to see a transformation in Nerissa. She started becoming the person she needed to be to rule: strong, independent, caring, making decisions. I also loved the chemistry between Nerissa and Lo. I could feel the sparks coming off the pages. I could physically feel their attraction to one another. I really enjoyed that part!
I really liked Jenna and Soren. They were secondary characters but also very much needed in the book. Jenna was funny and always protective of Nerissa no matter what. I thought she was a great friend. I liked how she accepted Nerissa for who and everything she is. Soren is also a great character. Even though she is not Nerissa’s mother, she still cared for her safety and well being. I understood where she was coming from. She wanted her to be able to lead their people one day.
If you enjoy a book that is unique with great chemistry, then you will like this book!

Over the top lace and crinolines, ladylike beads, slinky jewelry; big hair and bigger hair bows paired with motorcycle belts, dangerous boots, and the proper amount of exposed flesh, and over it all, a denim jacket. Denim; the material of the worker, the perfect foil for the extremely feminine. It has been bedazzled, acid washed, ripped, and patched, beaded, and trimmed in lace, but it always carries that boyish message that contrasts with the super girly, and we never seem to run out of ways to wear it. If you’re looking for some new ways to be creative with denim, here are some ways of bringing your jeans into the millennium.
Reinvent Old Jeans As A Miniskirt
- Mark the length you want your skirt to be and cut off the excess.
- Cut the inseam along the legs and crotch so that the legs are open.
- Cut a patch out of the excess fabric.
- Sew the patch to the skirt to cover the gap left by the inseam.
Alternative Method
- Mark the length you want your length to be on the inseam. Using a ruler and chalk, create a line you’ll cut across.
- Cut the excess length off the pants and cut along inseam to open each leg.
- Cut two squares of fabric from excess leg pieces. These will serve to fill in the triangular gaps between the legs.
- Sew or glue squares onto the underside go the skirt, to fill the gaps.
Uneven Hem (Tiered Hem)
This is that really cool look in which the hem on the front panel of your jeans is slightly higher than the back. Great for showing off a really cool pair of sandals.
- Cut off original hem of pants.
- Mark off two inches.
- Cut across the front panel of jeans, leaving back panel 2 inches longer.
- Fray newly cut hems, pulling strings out for style.
Fringed Hem
For that hippy beachy look. Think Tom Hanks in “Castaway.”
- Cut off original hem of pants.
- Make a straight line 3 inches from the bottom.
- Marked finger width spaces, as if you were in elementary school, trying to space your letters, using vertical lines.
- Cut along vertical lines and shake to a make fringe.
Racer Stripes
This will give you a sporty racing stripe down each leg
- Mark one inch to the left to the outer seam and one inch to the right.
- Apply painters tape from the top to the bottom of the pants along the marks you have just made, leaving the seam exposed.
- Pour bleach into a bowl.
- Apply bleach between pieces of tape, wait for color to remove.

The Spaniard capped a stellar tournament by defeating American John Isner 7-6 (8), 7-6 (3) in a nearly two-hour clash before a sellout crowd on Center Court. Nadal collapsed on his back in elation after his match-ending passing shot from the baseline.
The championship wasn't the only cause for the 27-year-old's celebration. For Nadal, the reigning Rogers Cup winner, it signaled consecutive hard court titles in successive weeks for the first time in his career.
"Being able to win two Masters 1000 (tournaments) on hard back-to-back is just amazing to me. I never did something like this in all my life. So I was emotional for so many different facts," Nadal said.
"First of all, I won a very important tournament, Masters 1000. Second thing, after all the problems I had, I mean, it was just two weeks in a row on hard, playing at the highest level. Then the ranking is there. So a lot of points. I was playing for a lot of points this week, and I'm in a good position."
Nadal's W&S Open dominance extended his spectacular return from injury. After missing seven months with knee issues, he has posted a 53-3 record since February and remained undefeated on hard courts (15-0).
Isner was his latest casualty.
The unseeded player rode his ATP World Tour-leading service game to victories over three Top 10 players and a career-first place in the finals. He was bidding to be the first American to hoist the Rookwood Cup since Andy Roddick did in 2006.
But Nadal took advantage of the 6-foot-10 player's 32 unforced errors en route to the championship, a $583,800 payout and 1,000 ranking points.
World No. 22 Isner doled out 11 aces throughout and fired serves up to 141 mph, but he also blew three set points in a first set dappled with 19 unforced errors. He squandered two chances to put it away before the tiebreak.
The Spaniard had his chances, too, but finally converted on his third set point. Only one of the set points came on serve, his last, and Isner facilitated the outcome by dumping the ball in the net.
"He kept on coming up with the goods," Isner said. " |

The “antigen” can include a single antigen from a dermatophyte or a plurality of antigens as long as at least one antigen is included which will produce a sufficient immune response to confer resistance to ringworm infection upon the recipient of the vaccine. The antigen can also be isolated from more than one dermatophyte. If a preparation from more than one dermatophyte is made the antigen can include antigens which are common to all species of dermatophytes employed and/or antigens which are only specific to certain species. A method of producing such a ringworm vaccine is also disclosed. The method comprises making an antigen preparation comprising the dermatophyte antigen described above and combining the antigen preparation with a suitable carrier.

<|endoftext|>Cacao nibs are made from cacao beans. After harvesting, the beans are fermented and then cracked to produce small, dark bits — or cacao nibs. This is the least processed form of chocolate on the market. They are low in sugar but full of nutrients and fibre. However, they also pack a good caffeine punch. Beyond their use as a flavouring agent in teas and coffees, they can be incorporated into all sorts of recipes. Substitute them for chocolate chips, blend them into smoothies, crush them to make a steak rub…You will be surprised at how versatile these little nibs are. Here at the Pantry we toast the nibs to release their full chocolatey flavour.
<|endoftext|>And the time has flown by, and I have not posted that much last year. My life has changed quite considerable. Most of it is not directly Covid related. Becoming a father and finding a new job, has changed my time allocation. Therefore not much progress, and even less time to blog/record this.
A DIY Battle mat. I started with a 30 by 30 cm sample piece. Cotton with a Chaulk and sand top layer, with some turf and grass as decoration. I am planning to make a larger 90 x 120cm version for my 2mm army projects.
But I will update a little on the |
love when exercise equipment has TV’s…it makes my workout fly by! Before I knew it, 45 minutes had passed and I was nice and sweaty. I contemplated a weights session, but Corey was ready to go, plus, we had plans for the rest of the day that I was excited to get to.
After our workout, we lounged by the pool for an hour or so, and I began reading a book I nabbed from my parents’ house: A Million Little Pieces by James Frey.
It’s a book about this guy’s addiction and struggles during rehab. Not my usual girly love novel, but I like it, nonetheless!
We headed inside and showered, and then drove down to Park Avenue for the Winter Park Art Festival! We go to the festival every year. Most people probably go to look at the art. I’m there for the food. What else is new?
Lunch
By the time we actually found a parking spot and got to the festival, it was already 3 o’clock, and I was famished! I think we were delusional with hunger, because instead of being smart and eating “festival food” for lunch, we high-tailed it right into 310 Park South, one of our favorite restaurants, to grab something to eat.
We knew we were going to be eating all day, so we decided to split a meal. 310 is the home of my all-time favorite salad- the Seafood Salad- made with citrus-marinated shrimp, scallops and calamari. That’s what I really wanted to order, but it’s definitely not enough to share, so, somehow, we ended up with this bad boy in front of us:
This was Corey’s fault, I swear! We split a bleu cheeseburger and french fries, and I loved every greasy bite.
However, festivals cause my inner fat girl to kick into overdrive, so I still had one thing on my mind after lunch:
Aaaaaarepa’s!
Arepas are cornmeal patties with mozzarella cheese in the middle, fried on a big griddle to melty perfection. The combo of sweet corn with salty cheese is out of this world. Again, I loved every greasy bite.
Corey betrayed me and stopped for samples at an Oceanspray Cranberry Juice tent. SICK!
Add cranberry juice to this list. Totally forgot how much I hate to even look at it!
After lots of walking around and perusing the different interesting art tents, we got a little thirsty! Using Foursquare, we saw that one of our favorite bars, called Circa, had a special for your first check-in:
Unfortunately, the waiter told us this special wasn’t valid during the festival. Guess we’ll just have to come back to use it! We ordered glasses of Chardonnay, anyways:
While sipping away, I discovered that Corey and I are total opposites when it comes to celebrities. I am a celebrity freak. I love to read about them, I love to pretend I know them, I love to be in the same vicinity as them…Corey, however, says that “they’re just people”, and gets zero excitement out of seeing them. As we were sitting there, Corey nonchalantly says, “Oh, there’s Carrot Top.” What?! I turned my head just in time to see the Botox-ed comedian himself, walking right passed us.
I contemplated running after him for a picture, but I knew Corey would make me walk home if I did.
We had a second celebrity-sighting while looking at some art. Again, nonchalantly, Corey said to me “Ryan Anderson is right next to you.”
This time, I didn’t even contemplate asking for a picture, because Corey would certainly shoot me on the spot for embarrassing him in front of an Orlando Magic player.
After some more walking and browsing, I spotted a new addition to the usual Park Avenue shops that I’ve become so accustomed to…Kilwin’s Ice Cream!
I had to stop in.
Then, I had to get at least a small cone of deliciousness! Corey and I shared a small scoop of French Silk ice cream in a cake cone.
I feel like this picture truly embodies the fat girl rampage I experienced today. When we were in line, I said to Corey that my inner fat girl was coming out because I wanted to eat everything in the whole freaking store, and he simply looked at me and said, “Inner?”
Crap.
After the festival, we headed home to relax. After a short nap, it was time for dinner! We wanted to go somewhere that we could watch the basketball games, so we ended up at Smokey Bone’s.
On a side note, how sad would you be if your dog hugged you like this everytime she thinks you’re leaving her?
SO sad!
Anyways, the rampage continues!
Thank you to our friend, Buxton, for the fact that we can now never go to Smokey Bone’s without ordering the Chicken Chili Nachos for an appetizer. They’re the only nachos that I can’t resist eating.
I was pretty full after our appetizer was finished, as should be expected after eating your body weight in chips and chili.
For my main meal, I ordered the BBQ Pulled Pork Cuban, with steamed broccoli as my side.
I made it through all the broccoli and 3/4’s of one half of the sandwich, and then I was dunzo. The remaining 1/4 went into Corey’s mouth, and the other half went into a box and home with us. It will more-than-likely be joining it’s 1/4-sized cousin in Corey’s stomach tomorrow.
On our way home, we made an emergency stop at CVS. I ran out of my all-time favorite face wash/make-up remover that is undoubtedly handcrafted by angels:
Neutrogena Make-Up Remover Cleansing Towelettes. OK, so it’s not really face wash at all, but for someone who hates washing their face at night, these are awesome! A few swipes and all of your make-up, even tons of mascara, is completely cleaned from your face:
Can’t live without them!
We’re gonna see if we can find a good movie to watch, then it’s off to bed! Have a great night!
Do you enjoy festival or fair food? If so, what is your must-have treat?
First of all, once again you CRACK ME UP!!!! So that’s where my book went……you little crook. Do I like festival food?? DUH. What is better?? My fave? Probably a good ol’ gyro or souvlaki. CARROT TOP??!!! I love him!!!!! I def would have chased him and taken a pic. Corey needs to get over it. That’s just the way we’re made…… LOOOOOOVE YOU!!!!
Lol, shorry I’m not shorry!!! I figured you had probably read it already! Wait, who am I kidding, you’re not even done with the Twilight series and Kristen Stewart is like 37 years old by now.
I TOTALLY wanted a gyro, too!!!! But I was definitely being judged by onlookers by that point, so I resisted.
Apparently, Carrot Top lives in Winter Park, so maybe I’ll just sleep in his driveway and ask for a pic when he leaves again?!
LOVE YOU!
Haha, this was too funny! I am just like Corey in the sense that I could care less about celebrities…although there are a few that I would scream over if I did see them! And I seriously DETEST washing my face at night too! I’ve been looking for something that is effective that’s a wipe…I may just have to try those! (BTW, The Body Shop has some tea tree oil wipes that were AWESOME on my face! $$ though!)
[…] dinner, I was really excited to try a new dessert discovery! Last night, when I stopped in at CVS, Corey asked me to grab some ice cream. I got him some regular ice […]<|endoftext|>Sleep studies

The major purpose of this article is to emphasize the need for pharmaceutical scientists to have a better understanding of patent fundamentals. This need is illustrated by analyses of key scientific and legal issues that arose during recent patent infringement cases involving Prozac, Prilosec, and Buspar. Economic incentives for drug discovery and development clash with societal needs for low-cost pharmaceuticals in the United States and all over the world. The Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984 was enacted to promote public health by balancing the interests of brand name and generic companies. Patent protection, which provides a monopoly for a limited time, is aimed to provide such incentives. Creation of patents requires the interaction between scientists and lawyers, an endeavor made difficult by the differing intellectual spheres of their respective disciplines. Therefore, in the first place, a thorough understanding of patent fundamentals among pharmaceutical scientists will help them work more efficiently with patent attorneys. Second, it will enable them to appreciate the strengths and weaknesses of individual patents, which is critical in developing strategies amidst the ongoing patent tug-of-war between brandname and generic companies.<|endoftext|>Generation of runaway electrons in plasma after a breakdown of a gap with a sharply non-uniform electric field strength distribution
The paper is devoted to the study of the initiation and formation of a negative streamer in a sharply inhomogeneous electric field and the generation of runaway electrons (REs) in air and helium at atmospheric pressure and below, as well as in sulfur hexafluoride at low pressure. Nanosecond voltage pulses of negative polarity with an amplitude of 18 kV were applied across a point-to-plane gap 8.5 mm long. The studies were carried out using broadband measuring sensors and equipment with picosecond time resolution, as well as using a four-channel ICCD camera. Using a special method for measuring the dynamic displacement current caused by the redistribution of the electric field during streamer formation, the waveforms of voltage, discharge current, RE current, and dynamic displacement current were synchronized to each other, as well as to ICCD images. Data on the generation of REs with respect to the dynamics of streamer formation were obtained. It was found that REs are generated not only during the breakdown of the gap, but also after that. It has been found that the formation time of explosive emission centers affects the generation of REs after breakdown. Based on the measurement data of the voltage, discharge current, and dynamic displacement current, the electron concentration in the plasma channel after breakdown and the electric field strength near the surface of the grounded electrode were calculated.<|endoftext|>Application of Pontryagin's principle of maximum to the inverse problems of scattering
We are concerned with the practical application of a new approach to the inverse problems of electromagnetic wave scattering. Our main goal is retrieval of an unknown permittivity distribution. Within the framework of such a statement the problem is reduced to minimization of some smoothing functional. Further minimization is carried out with the use of Pontryagin's (1983) principle of maximum, instead of approaches which are based on the Newton-Kantorovich iterative technique and Euler's equations.<|endoftext|>Back on the mat !
Well, after two months of work, moving, and gernal life craziness... I managed to get back on the mat this week.
First, there was a trip to San Angelo, Tx. for a quick seminar there at Randy Shupe Sensei's dojo. From 3pm to 7pm (though I got out at 6:30pm) we did basics training: katate dori ikkyo omote and ura, shomenuchi iriminage, katate dori iriminage and others. I can't remember all of it, but Randy Sensei is very eager to associate with Kato Shihan and learn his style. In order to do that, Riggs Sensei will be logging many hours in San Angelo, which he doesn't mind at all. Randy was a GREAT help to Riggs by coming to Midland and helping with the build out of the new office and dojo space. We owe Randy a huge debt of gratitude.
Last night, I was in class, finally, with Lan Sensei at the helm. He was in charge, teaching class with myself, Jared and Brandon. Both of these newer students are coming along very well. I was lucky enough to see their last test and was pleased to see how far along they've come.
Class last night consisted of shomenuchi ikkyo omote and ura, katate dori yonkyo and tenchinage. My tenchi is REALLY rusty! I've completely forgotten how to do it... was making stuff up it seemed.
...got...to... get... back... on... the... mat!!!
Anyhow, between the seminar and class last night, put me down for 5.5 hours! By the time I'm all warmed up and ready to go (hopefully before Christmas) I'll be ready for my test and have all the hours needed to do so. Got to get in shape between now and then... 1st kyu is going to be a long... long... LONG test.

Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy networks (RPL) is the de-facto standard for routing in resource-constrained low-power and lossy networks (LLNs) which represent the building block for the ever-growing Internet of Things (IoT). RPL along with other routing protocols make the deployment of Trickle algorithm as a mechanism for controlling and maintaining the routing traffic frequency. Trickle employs two different techniques to manage the routing traffic efficiently. Firstly, the suppression phase where a node suppresses its control data transmission if it is redundant. Secondly, the traffic frequency adaptation, where the nodes increase their sending rate when discovering inconsistency while slow down their rate as the network becomes stable. The efficiency of Trickle has been approved in terms of power consumption and scalability, however, imposing the so-called listen-only period as a solution for the short-listen problem comes at the expense of increased convergence time. Thus, in this paper, an enhanced version of Trickle is proposed, namely, E-Trickle which solves the short-listen problem without imposing the listen-only period. Simulation results show that E-Trickle have decreased the convergence time by up to 43% while preserving the same efficiency of Trickle in terms of power consumption, scalability and reliability.<|endoftext|>Exhaled Volatile Organic Compounds Predict Exacerbations of Childhood Asthma in a 1-Year Prospective Study

get a building open and kids into the classroom.”
Even if students are in school remotely, they are considered eligible to play if they’re taking at least three or four high-school courses, according to a recent change in the state guidelines.
What the athletic directors say
“I’m hoping for the best-case scenario and want to move forward with high-school sports as soon as we can do it safely,” said New Paltz High School athletic director Greg Warren. If given the go-ahead by Section IX and the New Paltz school district, he is “ready.” He has coaches who are more than willing to step up and get the proverbial ball rolling.
“This spring was tough on our student athletes,” said Warren. The entire 2020 spring season was lost due to school closures in response to the public-health crisis. “Especially the seniors. They won’t get that chance again.”
Kingston High School athletic director Richard Silverstein said that Kingston schools superintendent Dr. Paul Padalino would have to consult with the local health department and school physician regarding Kingston participation if Section IX makes a determination to move forward on fall sports Once those decisions are made, Silverstein said, he will know whether the district is starting on September 21, “or if Plan B the state NYSPSAA has given us will be implemented.”
Plan B, as outlined by NYSPSAA, was to delay all sports until January 2021 and run three condensed ten-week seasons, with winter sports going first, then fall sports and ending with spring sports.
Dominic Zarrella, Saugerties High School’s athletic director, as well as the football and wrestling coach, said Saugerties was prepared to move forward once Section IX makes a decision. “We are not registering students right now, as a decision has not been made,” he said. “I am on the Section IX Task Force and can tell you that we are awaiting guidelines from the governor’s office that go beyond possible start dates. Some of these guidelines include locker-room procedures, busing policies, and level of play. With the majority of school districts starting virtually, the 9/21 date is problematic.”
Zarrella’s feeling was that every school in the section will follow the same policy, thus helping with scheduling geographically and cutting down on confusion. “Our intent is to have our athletes play safely,” he said. “If I had to guess, I think the January start date with three ten-week seasons will be the preferred option.”

NYSPSAA this summer said that there would be no state championships for fall sports. As Ransom noted, that decision is not likely to change. “Even if the low-risk sports began on September 21, bids for the venues where state championships are played would have had to go out months ago. And most of our championships are held at college venues, which are closed to outside groups right now.”
Section IX isn’t bound to September 21 or January 2021. It could vote to extend the commencement of fall sports past September 21. Recently the date for the start of winter sports was changed from November 16 to November 30 in order to give fall sports teams more time to complete their seasons.

Lively public discourse
Some believe that keeping children from participating in school sports is causing greater risks than possible exposure or transmission of the Covid virus. “We’re hurting the kids that we always hurt,” said one retired teacher who lives in Kingston, but wanted to remain anonymous due to having relatives that work in the district. “I live in Kingston, and I see them on the streets because they have nothing to do.”
The divide between the haves and the have-nots just keeps growing, this ex-teacher said, and it wasn’t fair. “The families that have money are sending their kids to private schools. They’re making sure that their kids get tutors, are taking SAT prep courses, are doing club sports and travel sports and art lessons. The other kids? They’re losing the only opportunities they have through public education and high-school sports and activities. For what reason?”
Some of the parents, coaches, student athletes, local government representatives who are advocating for the reopening of school sports have banded together via a Facebook group called New Yorkers for School Athletics – Let Us Play 2020. Members cite increased rates of depression among student athletes and high incidences of suicide attempts as some of the unintended consequences of children not being able to engage in varsity sports.
(See sidebar story of a New Paltz school board meeting last week at which the subject of priorities was discussed.)
Pam Pece, a mother of New Paltz student athletes, is one of the supporters of giving sports a higher priority. She recently put together a Section IX Let Them Play Facebook advocacy group for athletics. She believes that high-school sports should begin as soon as possible.
“Club sports have been playing this summer. Other states have been playing sports for more than a month, football included, and have been doing fine,” she said. “Of course, there will be positive [Covid determinations], but at some point we have to as a society learn to live with this. In my opinion, the effects of children not having the ability to play sports is going to do more harm than good. If private schools, Catholic schools and prep schools can safely play, then why can’t public school children be afforded the same opportunity?”
She said that the lack of public high-school sports was having a negative impact on student athletes. “For some students, high school sports are all they have,” she said “Playing sports in high school is not only about competing, but playing alongside your classmates and friends and showing pride for one’s school and community. Studies are showing that having the ability to participate in sports is being increasingly linked to depression in student athletes. I think districts should be ready to go …. Athletes have always had to sign a waiver that they understand the risks of playing a sport. This is no different. Families should be able to make this decision for their children, not the school.”
Doug Thompson, a local business-owner, father and coach for both high school and club sports, concurred that in his estimation, it’s time to let the kids play. “I feel it is imperative that the kids be able to do sports,” he said in response to questions. “The travel leagues and swim clubs have done it all summer. These kids need sports to maintain their physical health and mental well-being. I dropped my daughter off at college and I saw first-hand what having teammates and coaches can do for a young adult: Night-and-day from having her sport taken away in this past spring to how she’s feeling now that she can play. She is happy to be outside, while practicing all safe distancing protocols, and playing the sport she loves [lacrosse]. I feel, if the districts do it right, it should not be an issue.”
Moira Roberts, a public-school teacher and mother of a college and high-school athlete, thought that not having the fall sports was definitely having a negative effect on young athletes. “They aren’t training like they are used to, and are missing the social interactions with their teammates and coaches, which is so critical to their overall health and growth,” she said. “They are losing the competitive drive that their sport gives them, and that they need in life. Also, if they can’t compete, and they’re juniors and seniors, how are college coaches going to see them play? It’s hurting them on so many levels.”
What the research shows
According to news report by National Public Radio, a nationwide survey of student athletes conducted by the University of Wisconsin, suggests that the cancellation of youth sports since the beginning of the Covid 19 pandemic has taken a significant toll on the mental health and well-being of adolescents.
“The results of the study are both striking and concerning,” said Dr. Claudia Reardon, associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. “We know that exercise and physical activity are powerful antidepressant and anti-anxiety interventions, and we strongly encourage public health experts and school administrators to thoughtfully consider both the benefits and risks of prolonged school closures and sport cancellations.”
Some studies have contended that younger children are at lower risk for contracting Covid 19 compared to adults. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as of July 17, 2020, the United States reported that children and adolescents under 18 years old account for under seven percent of positive cases and less than 0.1 percent of Covid-related deaths. Recently, however, a spate of Covid outbreaks among younger Americans have cast doubt on the validity of the earlier statistics. Young people without Covid symptoms can still infect others.
While the governor can give the verbal green light and NYPSAA can provide guidelines and suggested protocols for coaches and athletes to follow, and each section can vote on when they are going to start to play, ultimately the final decision lies with each school district.
Concerns about moving forward
The New York State Council of School Superintendents (COSS) wrote a letter to the governor asking him to change his decision and delay all school sports until January 2021.
“Authorizing school athletics could jeopardize successful resumption of in-person learning for students,” wrote the COSS executive director Charles Dedrick. “We have struggled to reconcile why students in physical education classes must be twelve feet apart per reopening guidance, yet contact athletics and other activities that regularly bring athletes into close proximity are deemed safe at this time.

pressures on an Arctic pastoral ecosystem
Environmental changes and their consequences on biodiversity are known to have far-reaching effects on the resilience of animal populations and associated livelihoods around the world. To counteract negative demographic and economic effects on pastoralism, knowledge about the historical and current status of the environment is essential. In this study, we show how extractive industries, especially large-scale mining, induced a cascade of land conversions which are affecting animal populations and pastoralists’ adaptive responses in northern Sweden. We examine social–ecological vulnerability in Arctic reindeer husbandry by integrating herders’ knowledge, population statistics for semi-domesticated reindeer Rangifer t. tarandus, public data on socio-economic variables and geospatial tools. We determine that approximately 34% of Laevas reindeer herding community's grazing grounds are functionally unavailable to reindeer at present due to the accumulation of multiple competing land use pressures. Reindeer numbers currently only remain stable due to increased management efforts. Moreover, we identified current hotspots of high cumulative impact and mineral exploration as the spatially dominating land use factor in this area. Our approach and results provide new insights for scientifically robust cumulative impact assessments of anthropogenic stressors by creating a baseline of current developments via a combination of reindeer herder's knowledge with historical data of trends and extents of human activity over the last century.<|endoftext|>Intelligent Assessment for Visual Quality of Streets: Exploration Based on Machine Learning and Large-Scale Street View Data
At present, the collection and analysis of large amounts of key data for the visual quality assessment of streets are performed manually. The assessment efficiency is not high, and the effective information is not fully explored. This study aims to establish an intelligent method for assessing the visual quality of streets. Taking the Hexi District of Tianjin as an example and using street view images as the assessment medium, an assessment model of objective physical indicators is established based on PaddleSeg, an assessment model of subjective perceptual indicators is established based on neural image assessment, and a visual quality assessment model of streets is established based on a random forest. The above models can intelligently evaluate the visual quality of streets and key indicators affecting visual quality. The influence of each key indicator on the visual quality of streets and the relationship between objective physical indicators and subjective perceptual indicators are analyzed. Through a combination of subjective and objective as well as qualitative and quantitative methods, the results show satisfactory assessment accuracy. In short, this study uses machine-learning techniques to improve the scientific rigor and efficiency of visual quality assessment and expand the scale of visual quality assessment data.<|endoftext|>Many foreigners want to have a wife from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus or other Slavic countries, because Slavic wives are famous for their love for their spouses and are caring mothers.
If you are ready for a serious relationship, and your ultimate goal is to ask a Russian girl to marry you, then you probably want to find out where you can find a Russian bride. What you have to do is make her interested in you, and finally defeat her heart.
Each relationship goes through many stages in which acquaintance is the initial and most important.
Dating is a kind of prelude to any romantic relationship. This is a stage in which two people get to know each other and gradually realize whether they are compatible and whether they can become a couple.
If you want to get acquainted with a Russian girl and start a romantic relationship with her, you can do this without going to Russia.
By registering on a Russian dating site, you gain access to profiles single Russian women.
Online dating sites help to find a potential wife very conveniently.
First of all, you know that all registered women there are single, and they really want to find a spouse.
Although in real life many men are often embarrassed when they see an attractive woman because they do not know if she has a boyfriend or not.
You can write to any lady, without losing guessing about her marital status.
Secondly, the main means of communication on dating sites is the exchange of messages, so it gives you additional seconds to think through your answer or the next question.
This indirect link lays the groundwork for further face-to-face communication through video. This helps you get to know the person, and then feel comfortable talking to each other personally.
When you view the profile of a Russian woman and feel that she can be the one you were looking for, write to her.
As soon as she answers and the conversation continues, online dating begins.
There are several rules that you need to follow to complete the stage of online dating and get out for a real meeting.
Although Russian women like persistent men who set goals and achieve their achievement, they do not like it when men become too intrusive.
Even if you really liked the woman, do not bombard her with messages and compliments. You will either frighten her, or make her think that you are weak.
As a mature person, you understand that there are some topics that should not be touched upon when you communicate with someone you hardly know.
Later, when you are well acquainted with each other, you can discuss any subject. But you should never raise issues such as your words and your relationship with them in the first letters.
If you want to make a good impression on a Russian woman, you must show her that you are interested in her personality. To do this, ask about her hobbies, interests and plans - she will gladly answer your questions.
It is very important for a Russian girl to know that a man is interested not only in her appearance, but also in her inner world. This will give her an idea of serious intentions.
Obviously, if you want to praise a beautiful Russian woman, then you need to do it right.
Russians appreciate sincerity in everything, so if you want to say a few pleasant words about your appearance companion, make sure that you speak as sincerely as possible.
Although these magnificent women receive dozens of letters from men, most of them contain similar and far from creative compliments. Be original.
Come up with an unexpected compliment that will melt her heart. Instead of focusing on some obvious features, praise her for her vivid character trait - she will appreciate it.
Getting to know a Russian girl allows you to be romantic and a little childish. This is what appreciate and love girls.
Like all women, Russian brides love romance and expect romantic things from you.
This may be an unexpected love letter or poem or just some sweet postcards in the morning or when she goes to bed.
Gifts are so romantic, especially unexpected, without any reason.
This should not be something big and expensive. Just a small but significant gift will be enough to pleasantly surprise your girlfriend.
Nevertheless, flowers are the best option, since girls from Russia like to receive flowers very much.
Since some online dating sites offer gift delivery services, you can use them to send a bouquet his girlfriend.
There is a saying that a woman does not go for a man, but for how he treats her. And this is true with Russian women. They want to feel loved and protected, and if they find someone who can make them feel that way, they can not ask for more.
Many women say they want to be worshiped by men. However, you should not take this very seriously.
At the initial stage of your relationship, especially in the first hours of your acquaintance, you should not worship a Russian woman, because she can refuse from you.
Some admiration is always appropriate, but if you overdo it, she may think that you are weak or in despair.
Winning the heart of a Russian bride is not so difficult, especially if you know what she wants and expects from you. If you have a vague idea of her expectations, the following tips will help you become her ideal person.
Russian men know something about knightly behavior, so you should keep up with them.
Do everything that people will always do in any century: keep the door for the woman and release her first, help her get out of the taxi, offer her jacket when it gets colder, offer her a hand when you go, get up when you will see, that she is approaching you, and so on.
If she says something, listen to her carefully and ask some questions about what she told you to prove that you are really listening.
Many women complain that men are often so busy that they stop noticing their women. Usually this happens at the next stages of the relationship, because when you just start dating, you want to spend every second with each other.
No matter how busy you are, always take a moment to write to her or call her to ask about what you are doing, what is she doing.<|endoftext|>Antibodies to axonal neurofilaments in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and other organic dementias.
Antibodies reacting with neurofilament proteins were detected by indirect immunofluorescence in the sera from 6 out of 10 patients with verified Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), in 4 out of 8 cases of Alzheimer's disease (AD), in a variable percentage (29.4-42.8%) of sera from patients (n = 46) with other dementias of organic or infectious origin and in 5 out of 30 asymptomatic relatives of CJD patients. The occurrence of this antibody did not correlate with the duration or with any other clinical manifestation of CJD. The applicability of the test as differential-diagnostic marker appears limited. The later development of CJD and mental or nervous disease in 3 of 5 asymptomatic relatives with positive serological reaction suggest that the method although nonspecific, may be of certain value in the search for persons at higher risk to develop a degenerative disorder of CNS.<|endoftext|>Normative Principles are Synthetic A Priori

The piece of code I use to load the textures is shown below. This is called several times during runtime if the user wishes to change these so called 'backTextures'.
Everything goes well and afaik there is no sign of memory leaks. But after executing this several random times (say as little as 2 times or even as much as 13 times for example) Unity hangs.
According to the Xcode console, the last print I read is the 'Just created the www' so I am assuming the script is hanging waiting for the 'yield return _www;'. This happens always on the first iteration of the for loop (i=0), but as I said before, after calling this piece of code several times.
Can anyone help me out with this? I have no idea why yield return www would hang...

We work hard to make and distribute Kellogg products that delight people throughout South Africa. But, as I watch thousands of packages roll off our production lines each day, I’m reminded there are many people in our country who do not have regular access to any food, let alone ours.
That’s why I was particularly proud that our plant participated in Kellogg’s World Food Day celebration again this year. The COVID-19 pandemic has made it even more difficult for people in need to access food, so our team came up with a creative way to feed people while remaining safe.
We created food “hampers” – reusable shopping bags, essentially – that included four bags of Corn Flakes®, three Noodles® multipacks and a Kellogg’s Better Days® branded face mask.
In all, our colleagues distributed 400 hampers.
I was honored to give mine to a family not far from our facility. Each time one of us from the plant made a donation, we posted about it on social media using the tag #MyBetterDays.
The Kellogg headquarters team took our posts and similar ones from colleagues around the world to create this impactful video.
You may have read before that Kellogg has a goal to create Better Days for 3 billion people around the world by 2030. I’m grateful that my team and I get to contribute directly to this effort every year through events like World Food Day.
It makes the food we produce in Springs that much more powerful.

<|endoftext|>The problem I'm seeing is that "mv" or "cp -a" into a CIFS-mounted filesystem does NOT preserve the original file's modification time. The new file has the current date - not the original's file date.
The setting of a file's date to arbitrary time (e.g, with touch -r ...) does work correctly. This is why I think that what is happening is that "mv" or "cp -a" are setting the file's date correctly, but then some sort of later asynchronous close operation resets it again to the current time (similar to bug 6127 that used to exist in NFS).
This appears to be a regression - I haven't seen this problem before and I think I would have noticed.
By the way, by doing "ls -l" in parallel with the files being copied with "cp -a" I noticed that they *are* being set correctly to the original file's date, and only later, the date gets reset to the current date.
Note how the file got the correct date (that also matches the date encoded in the file's name), but then later, it somehow got reset to today's date.
The server is a WD "My Cloud" (a home NAS), which until recently appears to have worked correctly (it's about two years old).
I don't know what dialect was negotiated - I am just mounting it without a "vers" option. Is there some command I can run to display the dialect or make some of query that can help you pinpoint the problem?
As I said, the mount is still working mostly correctly, except this file time issue. I thought this is a regression because I think (?) I would have noticed this problem earlier in my two years of using this NAS, although I can't really be sure (since I usually use rsync, not cp -a, and a second rsync would correct the wrong timestamp, I think).
As I already suspected above, "mv"-ing a tiny file into that NAS (using CIFS) preserves its date, but for a large file it temporarily gets the right size and date but then (apparently) as the end of the file gets flushed, the date resets to the current date. I can reproduce the same problem with "cp -a", but "rsync -avP" seems to copy the date properly. I don't know how or why.
By the way, although this problem sounds benign, it's actually quite disruptive, because the last modification times of the moved files are destroyed after the original files have already been deleted. It more than once caused me to lose the dates on hundreds of files which I moved from disk to disk, without having any way to fix what happened.
You can tell the dialect from /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData. This looks like an older cifs.ko although it often can be inferred from the "vers=" displayed in "/proc/mounts | grep cifs"
The key question here is whether the client sent the wrong time (or set the time before the last write) or whether the server did this wrong. It will be fairly easy to spot by looking at the last five or ten frames of it in a network trace.
There was a recent discussion of this issue on linux-cifs and samba-technical lists.
I ran into this issue with `# cp -p`, but after reproducing the issue and getting some additional eyes, this looks to be a client side issue.
The Linux SMB client is using two different file handles.
One file handle for writing and another for setting the modification time.
Either the client should use the same handle for setting the mtime as for the write OR there needs to be an open for the second handle.
Thanks, I agree that this has to be a "client side" (the Linux SMB client side) because it appears to be a regression - a new problem that started happening about a year ago, with an existing and unchanged server.
I'm still seeing this problem often, I'm surprised we don't get here dozens of "Me Too!" - how are people moving files from a Linux machine into a CIFS network drives?
I finally got around to making time to work on this.
Regarding the 'client side' versus 'server side' behavior, there are two actual separate issues.
Going back to the 3.16.66 kernel, we can readily reproduce this behavior where mtime is not respected. However, this is not a client side issue.
The client is correctly setting atime and mtime to proper file handles and only atime is being respected. In newer kernels, what appears to be different on the client end is due to 9b9c5bea0b960616d638711d0ecc270c3a074e7f.
Due to the SMB server not properly logging mtime, the atime returned by cifs.ko just matches mtime. It should be noted that the server returns the correct atime.
I am attaching strace+pcap data as well as more detailed notes for those that want to review.
Post the above commit, it could be viewed as a regression, but this is debatable.
I've tested against the latest Samba release as well as a Windows 2k16 server and both exhibit the same behavior.

So I changed my clothes and set the elliptical to fat burn mode and did my two miles. I then grabbed the 25lb weights and the 18 inch step and started in on my leg workout. I was committed to getting the bulk of my lifting out of the way before Natalie got out of Tae Kwan Do and I got 3 out of 4 sets done. I then picked Natalie up and shuffled her down to swimming and headed upstairs to find Heather and find out how to do single leg squats. I polished off my sets on each leg and had already burned 600 calories. I knew I wanted to go to HIIT to see how class would be with Mira teaching, so I headed back downstairs and did 15 minutes on the rowing machine and then stretched until HIIT started.
HIIT was intense I only stayed for the first part of the class and my final calorie count for the night was 1025 calories burned. I got Natalie from the pool and headed home to cook dinner. I felt pretty good about what I had accomplished and my body was tired , but not overly sore.<|endoftext|>hungry for $350 million E round of financing Tencent, Jingdong and other joint investment

Inspiring Sleep
The Art of Sleep and Dreams
Photo by Peter Fogden via Unsplash
The land of Nod and the landscape of art—both with their connection to the liminality of the unconscious and imaginal realm—form a beautiful kinship.
Here are but a few ways that sleep and dreams have inspired artists and where art has served as a sherpa for sleep and dreams.
Art Created in Dreams
As you likely know from your own dreams, they are a fertille canvas upon which the imagination takes shape and form. If you wondered about the power of dreams to catalyze creative insights, we only need to look to the many stories of artists giving credit to their dreams for some of their greatest opuses. A few examples include:
Mary Shelley noted that it was in a dream that she had a vision that forged the basis of the idea for her famous novel Frankenstein. The groundbreaking Flags painting by American artist and printmaker Jasper Johns is said to have come to the artist in a dream. And, Samuel Coleridge claimed that his notion for his classic poem Kubla Khan arrived in a dream (an opium-inspired |

<|endoftext|>We got a place last year and inherited old appliances, most of which we replaced during the October appliance sale at Costco.ca. We've been mostly happy with our fridge and stove, and very happy with the Bosch dishwasher. However, we didn't replace the washer and dryer for the annoying reason that they work *just* well enough to not have justified the purchase.
I'm open this year to getting a new set. Is there RFD consensus about (1) best picks at certain price ranges and brands to avoid; (2) where to get them; and (3) when is the best time to score deals? I was previously a renter and just took whatever laundry set I happened to have access to, so it's a new world to me.
You have to become a bit of an 'expert' yourself and you'll know when to pounce.
Luckily it doesn't take long. You'll need to learn sizes to prices is the main thing and go from there. You may want the 'advice' or pressure tactics from sales people at say a store like The Brick or Leon's (Find a Goeman's, much better) or you might get some more alone time in a department store like Hudson's Bay or something like Home Depot / Rona.
I think you need to go to a store at least once, visually see the differences and then you can flyer shop / online shop.
Just know that this is one of those industries where you don't need to pay retail. There's wiggle room in the price.
Plus it’s got none of the common issues ...
As to where ...
With them gone ...
Bought on Black Friday Sale ...
Due to covid, do you guys think this year Black Friday will be the better one ( companies need clean up inventory and need cash flow) or the worst (no inventory from China , can not handle big volumes, exchanges rate...)?
Thank you, @PointsHubby -- no wonder I couldn't find threads on this. I had searched, but the wrong section, clearly.
Appreciate your tips. I didn't know that fall was the best time to buy most appliances; it worked out that that's what I did last year, too. Will keep a special eye out for Maytag washer and dryer sets and will check out Lowes.
Too bad you're not in Ontario as some stores are still offering an energy rebate of 25%. That aside, we've had a Whirlpool set and been very happy so far.
I got an LG set from Costco late last year.

sit there a few months, then wheelbarrows are taken up and filled and brought back to the wood shed. Heck of a workout!
Good point about coppice wood possibly taking longer if not split, I was thinking of the convenience of dropping whole pieces into the J tube and only needing 1 piece of black locust after the kindling is going. I'm hoping to build my Oehler/Wofati hybrid with a greenhouse attached to the front, sort of like an earthship setup but isolated by door and windows, just an add-on greenhouse. Firewood would be moved in there so there's no need to go out in the weather to get another load, but still having a woodshed to store most of it and move in some to refresh the indoor stack.
So hopefully some additional drying will take place in the greenhouse, and of course it depends a lot on the local humidity levels and rainfall as to how quickly wood will dry. My site gets maybe 20" of rain a year and June-August is almost no rain at all. So I can see moving wood into the greenhouse around early September, and if that wood was cut the previous November or December then maybe 10-11 months including 4-5 months of low humidity and no rain will be enough for a 15" piece to dry enough. If not, then 1 extra year of buying firewood and then the coppice cycle will catch up, and every year you'll cut a batch to use in 2 years, and can replace the cords you're burning that season so you're only storing 2 seasons of wood at a time.
Cut my first load of wood today.
Sure looks small compared to my loads from the past.
Sure kicked my butt compared to those past loads as well.
Admittedly the first loads down off the mountain always did me in as well... sort of got to work up to these things.
I plan to do something similar, but with honey locust, eucalyptus and acacia.
I have heard people complain about the thorns when they are small.One guy said B.L. is so hard that it eats chainsaw chain like candy. Another thought it hard to split.
You are the first one to say it smells bad!!!
I hope it's a just personal thing for you, as I have 3rd year black locust growing now. And I really don't relish the thought of throwing a "plastic" log in my RMH.
Ideally if the RMH is drafting properly there would be nothing to smell when burning. I’ve heard some can have a skin reaction to BL sap so perhaps that’s also the smell source and proper aging will minimize it.
Maybe my black locust tree is unusually strongly scented? It really smells quite disgustimg when I grub up the roots or cut a branch down. The dried wood doesn’t smell, until I put it in the fire, anyway! Can confirm reports that it is very dense and hard to chop through.
I burnt it in an ordinary wood heater, perhaps as PP has said, using it in an RMH will not present an odour problem?
Hi All; Working out of state has extended the time its taken to cut up my load of wood. But Finally , it's all in the wood shed's!
By my measurements it's just shy of 13 cords of wood. @ Apx 75$ a cord... not bad!
This was too easy ... I'll be ordering next years load soon.
A Full load!
No load left!
The studio woodshed , all split and stacked... over 6 cords!
The main woodshed over 6 cord not split but stacked!
I'm constantly thinking about; "Will I be able to do it this way in 25 years?"
Nothing but conifer in the Great White North.
I've got nothing but oak and hickory here. Heavy and hard to split. I just cut a fence line through the woods around 12 acres and at 53 years old, I bought my first splitter because some of these trees were close to 2 foot in diameter. Just can't wail away with a maul on those big ones anymore. I also bought one of those high dollar Fiskar splitting axes. I'm at 5 cords which will last us two years.
Almost a senior citizen and still have a house to build. We'll be doing earth bermed, facing S/SE with that wall being glass for passive solar heat. Hopefully we'll be able to burn sticks in an RMH and/or a small efficient wood stove on occasion and nothing more. Might get a wood cook stove too but those also take small wood.
Exactly what I keep wondering and trying to plan for! I'm trying to choose a suitable place to set up a small "coppicing" woodlot. We don't need supper dense hardwood in our climate, but having a bunch of 4 inch diameter trunks that only need a single split, seems much more doable than what we currently get involved with. I *don't* do chainsaws, but I'm going to experiment with a very large saw my husband bought for other purposes, and see how it does on cutting 3-4 inch dead tree that is mostly cedar branches that came down in last year's big storm. The saw has an excellent integral clamp arrangement. I'll post the results, but we've only got one extension cord that will run the thing, and it's in use for the brooder - we've had a wet fall, so *everything's* behind the curve!
This makes me feel better about purchasing firewood this year (again).
I'm hoping that I can cut and split enough dead wood for next season and then enough green wood for the following year.
This year, I was able to get approximately 2 1/3 cords, seasoned, split and delivered for $250 cord + tax (~$600) total.
At my current day job, I make about $20 hour, so my firewood "cost" in time = about 30 hours of time worked to pay for the wood.
I'm wondering if I were to fell trees, buck, split, and stack...could I procure this same amount of wood with 30 hours of work?
I'm not entirely sure as I'm new to the firewood game (this will only be my third winter heating with wood in my life).
While I'm still working full time (at a local tree farm / nursery), purchasing wood may actually be a more viable option for me...
...until I've got more time available (which would subsequently mean less income in as I work on building our own enterprise on the farm and homestead).
Thanks for the comment, which generated a significant amount of thought on my part. It's appreciated!
I've been cutting wood for our own use for about 7 years, therefor I'm not a pro. I cut trees and bucked them to stove length yesterday. I think I cut about a cord of wood in 5 hours of work. I also lugged it to the nearest access point and the missus hauled it to the splitting area (2 hrs of work). I'm guessing I could split it in another 5 hours. I'd have to stack it if I bought it or if I cut it so I won't count that time. So for $250/cord plus tax, I think I'm saving/earning/offsetting about $20-25 per hour.
If I had a woodlot of nice big hardwoods that needed to be cut, I'm pretty sure I could cut my time significantly. As is, I'm cutting just the dead or dying trees so I have to judge for punkiness and the chunks aren't always all that big.
And that money earned would be your after taxes rate too, if you had to earn it first to then pay someone else. A decent splitter that will last for years can be invaluable if that physical activity isn’t an option. The last time I had to split a wet 16” bucked tree it was not fun at all and I am well sized for such a task.
This afternoon I timed myself splitting wood. I split 1/2 of a full cord of primarily fresh birch and some maple in exactly one hour. I'm not extremely fit nor weak but I was definitely perspiring a bit. So per my math above, I'm looking at 9 hours per cord of wood. I think split wood delivered here is at least $200 and possibly $250. Therefore I'm above $20 per hour for my labor, possibly closer to $25.
I have felled, yarded, then bucked, and split ten cods of wood (full cords) in 3 days time, but I was pretty tired when I was done. I was also in my late 20's and could not do that now.
About 7 decent sized hardwood trees, makes a cord of wood.
I do not pre-fell my trees, I fell my trees, then limb them out, then immediately haul them out so that my woods are always cleaned of any trees I cut that day. I can pull 7 trees at once, and I average 7 trees to the hour of work, so I average about 1 cord per hour to fell and haul out to a landing.
Bucking trees into firewood is about 1/2 cord per hour.
Splitting is about the same; 1/2 cord to the hour.
I have been logging these last few days myself. I am pretty sick (cancer), so I was actually impressed with my progress. Working 11 am to 3PM on Wednesday, and 8 am to 2:30 pm on Thursday, and I got out 10 cord. These are hardwood logs so I do not have to buck them up or split them luckily.
Enjoyed having wood delivered so much last year that |

Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) is a candidate target autoantigen involved in the pathogenesis of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). The functional state of the beta cells has been suggested to play a pathogenic role in IDDM by altering beta-cell autoantigen expression. In this study, we investigated expression of GAD-65 and GAD-67 in isolated Sprague-Dawley rat islets cultured at different glucose concentrations. Using GAD isoform-specific antibodies in an immunoblot assay, we found that expression of both GAD-65 and GAD-67 in cultured islets was glucose dependent and that increased expression of both forms of GAD correlated with increased functional state of the beta cell. Our data indicate that the functional state of the beta cell influences islet cell expression of GAD. Thus, decreasing islet cell expression of GAD by suppressing beta cells activity may have a potential role in blunting the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic islet beta cells.<|endoftext|>Spectroscopic analysis of [Trp3]-beta-casomorphin analogs. Comparative structure conformation-activity studies.
A series of [3-tryptophan]-beta-casomorphin-5([Trp3]-beta-CM-5) analogs were investigated by circular dichroism (CD) and fluorescence spectroscopy to explore their structure-conformation properties in solution. In addition, the comparative opioid activities of these compounds were evaluated using the in vitro guinea pig ileum (GPI) and mouse vas deferens (MVD) assays. Specifically, the pentapeptide sequence of [Trp3]-beta-CM-5, H-Tyr-Pro-Trp-Pro-Gly-OH (I) was modified at Pro-2 and Pro-4 by D-Pro substitutions to provide two diastereometric analogs, [Trp3-D-Pro-4]-beta-CM-5 (II) and [D-Pro2,4,Trp3]-beta-CM-5 (III). In the GPI and MVD assays, beta-CM-5 effected IC50 values of 1.3 microM and 8.9 microM, respectively, which confirmed its known mu/delta-selectivity on these two peripheral opioid receptor subtypes. The potencies of compounds I, II, and III were 0.2, 2.0, and less than 0.005 relative to beta-CM-5 on the GPI assay. Compounds I and II exhibited pronounced mu/delta-selectivities (greater than 18.9- and 12.4-fold respectively), whereas compound III was essentially inactive in both the GPI and MVD assays. CD studies of beta-CM-5 and its [Trp3]-beta-CM-5 analogs showed striking differences in their near-UV and far-UV spectra in aqueous or organic solvents. In the far UV CD spectra, weak (20%) alpha-helicity (maximum at 193 nm and minima at 208 and 222 nm) for beta-CM-5 was obtained in trifluoroethanol (TFE); however, none of the [Trp3]-beta-CM-5 analogs showed such CD bands. Of potential relevance to gamma-turn or C7 secondary structure was the observation of a strong negative band at 245 nm for compounds II and III which was not solvent-dependent in H2O or TFE, whereas compound I showed this CD band exclusively in TFE. In the near-UV CD at 275 nm (Trp electronic transition), the relative order of intensities of this band were determined for the [Trp3]-beta-CM-5 compounds to be II greater than I greater than III, which was identical to their relative biological potencies in both the GPI and MVD assays. Fluorescence energy transfer (FET) experiments of compounds I-III provided the intramolecular distances (r) between their Tyr (donor) to Trp (acceptor) side-chains, by the Förster method, and were as follows: [Trp3]-beta-CM-5, r = 10.6 A; [Trp3, D-Pro4]-beta-CM-5, r = 9.6 A; and [D-Pro2,4,Trp3]-beta-CM-5, r = 11.0 A.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)<|endoftext|>PORTER SHREVE was born during the Lyndon Johnson administration, and grew up in Washington, D.C. In the 1970s his family started an alternative school called Our House Is a Very, Very, Very Fine House, and some of When the White House Was Ours is loosely based on that experience. Shreve's first novel, The Obituary Writer, was a New York Times Notable Book, and his second, Drives Like a Dream, was a Chicago Tribune Book of the Year.
1 My father, who died when I was five, had a reputation as a great newspaperman. I never doubted that I could be one too. "It's a matter of destiny," my mother would say to me with her usual drama. I believed her, and that's where my trouble began.
I was eight when I took my first paper route - three hundred houses with the Columbia Pioneer at ninety-five dollars a week. That first winter, my mother delivered the papers with me. She woke me at five in the morning dressed in a scarf, sweatshirt and jogging pants, white moon boots, and her old camel-hair coat, and we went out into darkness to the corner of Stadium and La Grange to pick up the bundles. On certain days the distributors would leave inserts - the home section on Tuesdays, real estate on Fridays, comics, coupons, classifieds, and Parade for the Sunday paper - and my mother and I would sit on the cold floor of the garage putting inserts and headsheets together, folding the papers in thirds, slipping them into plastic sleeves.
When we had folded and bagged all three hundred papers, my mother popped the hatchback of what was then her brand-new 1975 AMC Gremlin, brown with a white racing stripe. We stacked the papers in the back of the car, then sat in the front, waiting in silence as the Gremlin warmed up. This was the best time of the day. The silence, the murkiness of first light, the warm air from the heater closing around us.
By the time I was twelve, I was collecting newspapers. I'd save one a day from my morning route, and my mother, Lorraine, who was a secretary at the University of Missouri Journalism School, would bring home thumbed-through discards from the school library. I kept a handwritten log of what stories I deemed important, by date and subject, from the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and Dallas Morning News. The papers piled up in labeled stacks in the garage, until eventually I had so many that my mother had to park her car in the driveway. This must have been an inconvenience, since we had limited space, but she wasn't about to let an AMC Gremlin, which smelled of engine oil when you turned on the heat, roll over my dreams.
She figured an only child with a single parent ought to be treated as exceptional. "Great men like your father come along only rarely," she liked to say, beginning an exhortation I'd hear many times throughout my youth, often following the arrival of more bad news from school.
I'd come home from basketball, a skinny sixteen, and she'd be standing by the microwave lining Triscuits onto a plate, slicing cheese to melt on top. I'd go to the refrigerator for a soda and see my final grades taped to the door.
"Some who are born great fall through the cracks," she'd say, waving the knife in a backhand motion, narrowing her wide-set eyes on me. "Maybe they end up homeless. Maybe dead. Maybe they go crazy. Who knows? If you're born great, the rule is: you soar to the sun or you sink to the silt." Pale and narrow, the bones in her downturned face just beneath her skin, my mother would often strike me as youth standing at the boundary of old age. I'd watch her turn in the crinkly black dress that sharpened her features and darkened her eyes and wonder if men in town found her pretty. She'd walk to the stove, rigid and deliberate, and roll a cigarette in the flame.
"Einstein flunked math when he was your age, but he got his act together and they gave him the Nobel Prize." She'd take a couple of nervous puffs, lighting her cigarette unevenly. "These grades are unacceptable, Gordie, but let me say this: you have the substance of greatness."
Even on my mother's salary, we could have afforded a better place, something I never tired of bringing up. We had lived in the same Sears, Roebuck house at 102 La Grange since I was five, always with boarding students stomping above us. Our half of the house had low ceilings and little light, and though it was kept clean, nothing had changed in years. The living room was small, with a lumpy yellow sofa, shag carpet, a near-empty curio cabinet, and a fallapart rocking chair that I was forever salvaging with Super Glue. We ate in the kitchen at a Formica dinette under cheerful aphorisms that my mother would copy out of magazines and hang on the walls.
My room had always looked the same, even later when I came home to visit, as it did when I was a boy: the comforter on the bed printed with old headlines: titanic sinks, sacco and vanzetti guilty, lindbergh baby |

Description
This is the land that spawned the safari, drawing such luminaries as Teddy Roosevelt and Ernest Hemingway. But they were here for the trophies to hang on their walls. After the war came the change in emphasis to using the camera and making safaris more accessible to others. Some would say that it went too far with too many tourists around a pride of lion or any other spectacle. But the truth is that Kenya is huge, the wildlife abundant and the safari experience can be as individual and as private as it ever was.
It is the most popular country for first time “Africa” visitors but it is also a favoured destination for the seasoned safari hand. It lends itself to the “Bush and Beach” holiday and is very popular with honeymooners.
For this suggested itinerary you have the option of being driven between locations or taking light aircraft flights. Or perhaps a mixture of both.
Day 1: Nairobi
Arrive in the capital, Nairobi. Visit the National Park, the only one in the world in a city boundary, which has all of the plains animals and the Big 5 apart from elephant. Consider a trip to Karen Blixen Museum (colonial past), the Elephant Orphanage, the National Museum of Kenya and Snake Park.
2 nights Nairobi
Day 3: Samburu National Park
Today drive north to Samburu National Park. Alternatively catch a small plane for a quick flight.
2 nights Samburu
Day 5: Mount Kenya/Aberdare Mountains
Drive back to Mount Kenya or Aberdare Mountains for a different type of wildlife experience. Hopefully Mount Kenya will be clear making an excellent backdrop for your photos. The afternoon and evening will be spent checking the wildlife that comes out of the forest to drink and feed in the open area. After a good meal you can either continue watching the floodlit waterhole or retire to bed and ask the night watchman to give you a knock if something you particularly want to see (leopard, wild bush pig or elephant for example).
1 night Mount Kenya
Day 6: Rift Valley
Today you will drive in to the Rift Valley with your destination being a lodge close to Lake Nakuru National Park or Lake Elementaita. The lakes here are famous for the number of greater and lesser flamingos feeding around their edge at different times of the year. Lake Nakuru has another 450 species of birds in the Park, this is a bird enthusiast’s dream. However there are plenty of mammal species to be found here, with good numbers of white rhino and the much more rare black rhino.
1 night Rift Valley
Day 7: Masai Mara
On.
2 nights at Masai Mara
Day 9: Amboseli
Amboseli is the second most popular Park in Kenya after the Masai Mara and is at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro making for the perfect backdrop for your animal photos. The rain and snow melt from the Mountain, and then permeate down to Amboseli into five swamps, two of which are now protected in the National Park. This water source your wish list. Ensure you drive to the top of Observation Hill which gives you an excellent view of the Park. Take time to look at the bird life here which is prolific, colourful and in abundance. As the Park is within the Masai homeland, you will have the opportunity to visit them in their manyata and learn about their nomadic way of living.
2 nights Amboseli
Day 11: Tsavo West
Your trip today takes you.
2 nights Tsavo West
Day 13: Beach
Now down to the Indian Ocean and time to relax on a silver sand beach in warm sea water. You can be as active or as lazy as you like here. For those wanting to see places, |

LAST UPDATE: August 2020<|endoftext|>The Transparent English Version has received enthusiastic endorsements from a wide range of academics, ministers, students, and lay people.
“In my view, the Transparent English Version of Genesis makes an invaluable contribution to our understanding of this magnificent and difficult work. Not only does it open up new possibilities for Biblical study and discussion, it also brings the reader closer to the spirit and sense of the original sources than any other translation I have seen. Considering that Genesis may be the most influential book ever published, this translation should be of enormous interest to general readers as well as to specialists both in this country and abroad.”
Dr. Richard E. Rubenstein, University Professor, George Mason University
“Professor Tabor’s consistent attempt to capture in English translation the sound and sense of Genesis in its original form has the salutary effect of causing the reader to stop and think again about the meaning of the text. Readers who can encounter the text only in English now have an opportunity to look behind layers of theologically motivated translations to something as close as we will probably ever come to the original text.”
Dr. Eugene V. Gallagher, Rosemary Park Professor of Religious Studies Emeritus, Connecticut College
“Finally we have a translation of Genesis that is transparent. Tabor not only reveals the nuances of the Hebrew language in his English translation and detailed footnotes, but he uses the oldest manuscript traditions to do so. This is a marked departure from traditional scholarly practice, which has relied on a modern eclectic text, one that has been created by a scholarly committee out of hordes of manuscripts spanning the centuries. But James Tabor’s translation is based on our oldest two manuscripts, and so it represents a version of Genesis that would have been known and used by the ancient people. This type of serious manuscript translation will revolutionize scholarship.”
Dr. April DeConick, Isla Carroll and Percy E. Turner Chair for Biblical Studies, Rice University
“The Transparent English Bible is a unique, innovative translation which successfully offers to readers an impression of the rough-hewn nature of the original Hebrew text with its Semitic syntax and idiomatic expressions. Though it is not intended to replace more conventional versions, it should pique the interest of many who have an interest in getting closer to the original. The incorporation of new readings from the Dead Sea Scrolls, and various explanatory notes add to the usefulness of the edition.”
Dr. Edwin Yamauchi, Professor Emeritus, History Department, Miami University, Oxford, Ohio
“I am delighted to hear that the Transparent English Bible translation of Genesis may soon be published. I know of no other translation quite like it, and envision recommending it both to the prospective ministers I teach in an ecumenical divinity school and to the educated, curious readers I meet in community groups and congregations where I often lead studies. Varied though their particular motives and investments may be, many such readers are intrigued by the complexities of Biblical interpretation, and eager for tools that allow less dependence on “received” views, including standard translations. The TEB rendering of Genesis both de-familiarizes the text and makes its diction, figures, and syntax accessible in ways that afford real insight. Its superscripts, notes, and other conventions create transparency in method, not just translation. The translation captures the lively play of Hebrew, and invites an answering clarity and energy of interpretation from readers. I hope Genesis is published quickly, with more to follow soon.”
Dr. B. Diane Lipsett, Assistant Professor of New Testament and Christian Origins, Salem College
, Professor Emeritus of Linguistics, Abilene Christian University
“James Tabor’s Transparent English Bible is such a good idea, it is a wonder someone has not done it before. This is a translation that will have immense appeal to those who have studied Hebrew and Greek and perhaps more so to those who have not. To both groups it provides the first ever opportunity to come as close as possible to hearing the original tongue in English. “Transparent” is a perfect descriptor of what I have read. The TEB seems to have it all—poetic beauty, accuracy, and notes to show the main textual variants. It is everything a student of the Bible could want in an accurate, literal translation. In short, it is amazing. It will provide all kinds of new opportunities for bringing the Bible to life in a fresh way while ensuring that the original author’s intent is not being distorted. I eagerly look forward to using this invaluable new translation in my work as a parish pastor and college instructor.”
The Rev. Jeffrey J. Bütz, M.Div., S.T.M., Pastor, Grace Lutheran Church, Nazareth, Pennsylvania, Instructor of Religious Studies, Pennsylvania |

Stochastic adaptive tracking control of electronic throttle is researched in this paper, in which the spring gain and the external load torque are seen as an unknown constant and a Wiener process, respectively. Based on the backstepping technology, a stochastic adaptive tracking control algorithm is given, and the control system is proved to be bounded in probability. Validation of the given tracking controller is proved through numerical simulation. The results of the numerical simulation show that the position of throttle plate can be tracked to its desired value, and the adaptive law can be tuned to a steady value.<|endoftext|>Irvine, CA – May 4, 2005 – Billabong-USA is partnering with Surfrider, the nation’s leading organization on beach preservation, and Surfline, the leading provider of surf report and forecast information, to offer school-aged kids an unparalleled surf camp experience.
Billabong will debut its program June 2005 in 18 beach communities coast to coast, plus two in Hawaii and one in Canada. To operate these camps Billabong has selected local operators in each community based on their high standards of instructional integrity, history, excellent reputations and continued commitment to youth programming.
Each week, campers can expect to spend their days in small peer groups that are age and skill appropriate. This enables them to develop skills at their own rate, building confidence and proficiency and at each level. In addition, professional counselors and a low staff to student ratio of one to four ensures safety and allows for individual instruction.
Billabong was awarded manufacturer of the year in 2004 by SIMA and continues to be a global leader in the action sports industry.

We propose a methodology for estimating preference parameters in matching models. Our estimator applies to repeated observations of matchings among a fixed group of individuals. Our estimator is based on the stability conditions in matching models; we consider both transferable (TU) and nontransferable utility (NTU) models. In both cases, the stability conditions yield moment inequalities which can be taken to the data. The preference parameters are partially identified. We consider simple illustrative examples, and also an empirical application to aggregate marriage markets.<|endoftext|>California is one of the most progressive states when it comes to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) rights.

We have confirmed the upcoming Dell netbook as the Dell Inspiron Mini 10 as our ninjas have scored us some details. According to our sources, Magenta is launching several tier 3 (high-end) devices this March/April. In order to prepare for these launches, T-Mobile stores will receive provisioned SIM cards for each of the new devices. These devices include the Motorola CLIQ XT, HTC HD2, and Dell Inspiron Mini 10 with T-Mobile webConnect Netbook (Pilot stores only – Dallas, Miami, LA, Chicago). Stores are expected to receive the new SIM cards sometime this week. Stay tuned for more info!
← Nokia E73 Coming To T-Mobile In June?
Argh, it’s the wrong Dell device! We need the Mini 5 damnit! Seriously, who gives a flip about this thing?
Still think this is still the update to the Dark Project that is being discussed in March.
new “provisioned” SIM cards.. what is this?
Yeah, same question I have.
I hope T-Mobile launches a HSPA+ phone before Sprint launches a WiMAX one. I mean, really.
I called a friend at t-mobile who is a manager and he said the SIMS are demo sims for the store demo phones, not any special kind of sim cards for the new deices.
Just what is a “provisioned” sim card? And why would any of these devices need one?
New SIM cards?? Indeed!
Eh. Any netbook on any carrier is going to require an ADDITIONAL data plan. I think I’ll pass. You could just buy the mini 10 from dell and tether instead.
Which, no carrier is going to sell me on multiple plans. They need all-in-one data plans for any device you want to connect. I am NEVER going to pay double to one company simply because I have 2 devices. Then technically I’d be paying triple if you count my home ISP. I pass, they fail.
People need to take note of your comment.
It’s very easy to fail to step back and think about just how much all this tech is costing one per year. If you take a pencil to pad and total everything, on an annual basis, that will wake you up and bring out your cost cutting knife.
That’s why I am anal about my phone purchases nowadays. If I get the HD2, that’s $450. For that amount of money I can get a really nice notebook computer. So if I want to play with a cool cell phone, I am gonna have to pay.
Cable broadband and TV with HBO only is $140 a month, taxes and fees included. That’s $1680 annually.
T-Mo for two lines, unlimited everything, $160 a month. That’s $1920.
Two hot phones annually, about $900 on average, $700 if I get partial discounts. So let’s say $800.
So let’s round it off to $4500. That’s a number I don’t like. It’s too high IMHO.
Land line: Went wireless at home about 10 years ago. So that has saved me $40 a month x 10 years = $4800 savings.
So what Future Guy is saying is critical, where there is duplication of services, cut out the excess. Cut out the unnecessary.
Sure that netbook with a built-in data plan is cool in concept, but does one really need that? I don’t think so. Seems like tethering to an existing netbook is the way to go for most people unless tethering is too hard for you to get up and running.
To defray the cost of my phones I keep them in excellent shape and then sell them on eBay. For example, I sold my Touch Pro2 for $50 more than I paid T-Mobile for it.
Also, I am ditching the HBO since they don’t really have any movies any longer anyway. It has turned into a broadcast station with TV series every few months. I have Netflix so I don’t need to duplicate movies with both HBO and Netflix. Netflix is cheaper anyway.
And I am considering using WiFi at home and tethering. If I can do that I will cut the broadband and digital TV package.
The Cliq XT needs its own SIM card cause of the Android Data plan.
The provisioned sim cards are for each of the phones data plans. They are demo sims to provide customers with a real feel for when they activate and use one. For instance, the Cliq XT sim will be preloaded with friends and status updates to show of the moto blur in store. When the first cliq arrived, we had to make up accounts and really couldn’t show how facebook and twitter were intergrated. Now they will have fake facebook accts and so on… Sucks though we cant get a laptop at our store in San Francisco. How the hell did Dallas make it and not us??
because we in dallas/fort worth are a test market. san francisco isn’t. thats a pretty easy answer.
Well Flash was updated, along with the Broadcom’s video accelerator, so High Def content will now play on the Dell Mini 10’s smoothly. Im still waiting for April for Asus’s Ion 2 based Netbook so I can atleast have video out and real HD. I’ll tether that, when I do get a new netbook. But the Dell Mini 10 is nice, if its the 2nd gen, which I believe this will be. Longer battery life with a Pinetrail.
Thats a pretty nice Netbook for the price, cuz you should be able to build |

Smith against Oxidative Stress on Paraquat-Induced Parkinsonism in Rats
Zingiber zerumbet has been traditionally used as an anti-inflammation and antioxidant agent. The present study investigates the neuroprotective effects of ethyl acetate extract of Z. zerumbet against oxidative stress on paraquat (PQ)-induced Parkinsonism in rats. Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five groups: Negative control (normal saline), positive control (N-acetylcysteine, NAC 20 mg/kg + PQ 10 mg/kg), PQ only, 200 mg/kg Z. zerumbet + PQ and 400 mg/kg Z. zerumbet + PQ. The extract was given orally for 19 consecutive days and PQ was administered intraperitoneally on day 8-12th of the treatment regime. Both serum and fresh brains containing substantia nigra (SN) region were taken for biochemical and histological analysis. Administration of both 200 and 400 mg/kg ethyl acetate Z. zerumbet extracts to the PQ-treated groups have resulted in: Decreased levels of MDA and PC in the SN homogenates; and increased SOD, GPx; and CAT activities in the SN and serum. Overall, ethyl acetate extract of Z. zerumbet reduced oxidative stress in the SN of PQ-induced neuronal damages, therefore, has the potential to be developed as a preventive agent for neurodegenerative disorders caused by environmental toxins.<|endoftext|>Collection of 11 Rava Kesari varieties / Sheera Recipes.In this new year 2018, I wanted to start with a sweet post.

Abstract Background: Increased plasma amino-terminal-cleavage-fragment of NP (NT-proBNP) is an established indicator for heart failure. Moreover, obese adults had low circulating NT-proBNP suggesting an obesity-related dysregulation (natriuretic handicap). Secretion and/or clearance of NT-proBNP were discussed to be impaired in obesity. As only older adults were investigated so far, it remains unclear when during the evolution of obesity the state of a natriuretic handicap develops, and whether NT-proBNP may still serve as a relevant cardiac marker in obese juveniles. Methods: We analysed NT-proBNP in juvenile (n=274, 10–18 years) and middle-aged (n=277, 18–50 years) normal weight (n=213) and obese (n=338) probands together with complex anthropometry, carotis sonography, clinical, and laboratory parameters. Results: NT-proBNP showed a significant gender and age interaction. Adult females had significant higher NT-proBNP than adult males, and higher levels than juvenile females. Adult males had lower levels than juvenile males. Only a weak age and weight interaction was seen with obese juveniles which showed higher NT-proBNP than obese adults. Moreover, normal weight probands had higher NT-proBNP than overweight and obese. In a multiple regression including all probands, gender, creatinine and uric acid were the best predictors for NT-proBNP. In adults, female gender is the strongest driver for increased NT-proBNP. Conclusions: These results argue against an essential influence of obesity to B-type cardiac natriuretic hormone system regulation in the absence of heart failure, and suggest NT-proBNP as a useful cardiac marker irrespective of age and obesity.<|endoftext|>Evolution of the gut microbiota and the influence of diet.
Diet is a major force that shapes the composition and activity of the gut microbiota. This is evident from alterations in gut microbiota composition after weaning or drastic dietary changes. Owing to the complexity of the microbiota, interactions of intestinal bacteria with the host are difficult to study. Gnotobiotic animal models offer the opportunity to reduce the complexity and the interindividual variability of the intestinal microbiota. Germ-free animals were associated with a simplified microbial community consisting of eight bacterial species, that are found in the human gut. These microbes were selected because their genome sequences are available, and they mimic to some extent the metabolic activity of the human gut microbiota. The microbiota responded to dietary modifications by changes in the relative proportions of the community members. This model offers the chance to better define the role of intestinal bacteria in obesity development, but little is known on how diet affects intestinal bacteria at the cellular level. Mice monoassociated with Escherichia coli were used as a simplified model to investigate the influence of dietary factors on bacterial protein expression in the intestine. The mice were fed three different diets: a carbohydrate (lactose)-rich diet, a protein-rich diet and a diet rich in starch. The lactose-rich diet led to an induction of proteins involved in E. coli's oxidative stress response (Fur, AhpF, Dps). The corresponding genes are under control of the OxyR transcriptional regulator which is activated by oxidative stress. Further experiments demonstrated that osmotic stress exerted by various carbohydrates leads to an upregulation of proteins belonging to the oxyR regulon. The data suggest that the upregulated proteins enable intestinal E. coli to better cope with diet-induced osmotic stress. These examples demonstrate that gnotobiotic animal models are a valuable tool for studying diet-induced changes at the community and the cell level.<|endoftext|>Bovine Mastitis is as an inflammatory condition of the mammary gland. During lactation Mastitis is one of the most common diseases affecting dairy cattle and the prevalence of mastitis in the lactating mothers is 3% to 33%.As Bovine mastitis is an infectious and multifactorial disease. The major pathological agents are the bacteria. Bovine mastitis reduces milk yield, increases culling rate, incur treatment cost, and may cause death of the animal in severe infection. Mastitis not only to a greater extent reduces the productivity but also affects the quantity and the quality of milk yield. Generally, as mastitis is the most infectious disease, the major factors that increases the chances of mastitis are microbial exposure, defense mechanism of cow, and environment and managemental factors. The resistance of Mastitis is a great matter of concern due to its impact, not only on the economy of milk production but also on the health status of the animal. To the consumers and society mastitis has become a concern because of problems about antimicrobial residues, antimicrobial resistance and milk quality. In recent years, the growing concern about functional traits in dairy production has fostered many studies on the background of genetically modulated variability in resistance to mastitis. Additionally, new tools became available for including respective outcome into dairy cattle breeding. Resistance to mastitis could be improved by breeding. The mastitis resistance involves several selection methods. Current breeding programs, use somatic cell count and clinical mastitis cases as resistance traits could prove useful in succeeding generations of cows to improve the natural genetic resistance, As mastitis is associated with inflammation and many such factors get released during the course of time. These factors can act as biomarkers for the diagnosis of this disease. Therefore by using the potential utility of these sensors many of the inflammatory factors can be measured. The quality and the quantity of the milk are affected by these inflammatory components. For the detection of CM many sensors can be used that will determine electrical conductivity, pH, Somatic cell count, Color and Homogeneity.
Therefore it has become a matter of greater concern to discuss the future direction of mastitis research, given the recent developments in the areas of dairy farming, dairy processing and societal concerns.<|endoftext|>Integrating Spatial Layout of Object Parts into Classification without Pairwise Terms - Application to Fast Body Parts Estimation from Depth Images
Object recognition or human pose estimation methods often resort to a decomposition into a collection of parts. This local representation has significant advantages, especially in case of occlusions and when the ``object'' is non-rigid. Detection and recognition requires modelling the appearance of the different object parts as well as their spatial layout. The latter can be complex and requires the minimization of complex energy functions, which is prohibitive in most real world applications and therefore often omitted. However, ignoring the spatial layout puts all the burden on the classifier, whose only available information is local appearance. We propose a new method to integrate the spatial layout into the parts classification without costly pairwise terms. We present an application to body parts classification for human pose estimation.As a second contribution, we introduce edge features from RGB images as a complement to the well known depth features used for body parts classification from Kinect data.<|endoftext|>Creating a web page may Appear like a Complicated Process, hard to start and expensive, however the simple truth is that when you own a team of trained and skilled professionals, everything changes, the specialists at San Diego Web Design make it all simpler.

Perhaps we shouldn’t read too far into this, but here’s what happened. The technical specifications on Sprint.com for the Palm Pre used to list “Phone as modem” with Bluetooth and USB tethering as a feature. Now, however, that feature is gone. You’ll recall that earlier this week, Sprint announced its Simply Everything Plan + Mobile Broadband for $150 per month.
Hopefully the recent plan announcement and the supposed removal of the tethering feature isn’t a coincidence. If people had been thinking they could get a Pre for, say, $99 per month for voice, data, and tethering only to be saddled into shelling out an extra $50 per month just to tether, that’d be a big problem for Sprint. The company needs to make up for the 1.3 million subscribers it just lost. I’m no Dan Hesse, but touting built-in tethering as a feature of the Pre and then removing it might not be a great way to do attract customers.
Again, this might be nothing. The phone isn’t even out yet. Let’s hope you can tether with the Pre, though. Sprint desperately needs a gotta-have-it phone with a gotta-have-it plan.

Member to member calls are always free but when there are thousands of services to choose from, it’s unlikely that all or even most of your contacts are on the same page when it comes to picking and sticking with a VoIP provider. With each service comes different software to download, protocol variations and different accounts to drop money into. That’s what makes C2Call interesting. C2Call is the first service of its kind in that it is 100% browser based. No software to download, no system / OS compatibility issues and no bloatware. If you have a browser that supports JavaScript such as Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari then you’re good to go; Windows, Mac OS and Linux are all covered. The service is currently in public beta but our tests have gone very well. Registration is free and operation is fast and simple. C2Call uses a Java widget that loads right on the homepage once you log in, and it displays your contact list. To make a call, just click on the appropriate phone icon next to each contact. One of the greatest features of the service is that you can use it with people who aren’t even registered. Simply send a call invitation from within the C2Call widget and the recipient will get a link in the invitation email and he / she can begin talking to you immediately, no registration required. Future plans include calls to landlines etc, but as-is there are infinite applications where the simplicity and functionality of C2Call will prove advantageous.

I am sure that it will do more good than harm. Just as long as whoever knows you have an auto so that they can optimize the gears for you, it should help alot. The gears should pull longer and shift quicker. I don't see how it can hurt anything.
Does anyone here have a chip in their car?
I don't, YET. But it is in the plans. It will be one of my very last modifications because I want to get the ignition coil and msd box, and also get some new injectors, and a high flow fuel pump, fuel regulator, and blue print the injectors. With this stuff done, then you can fine tune the chip to compensate for the added fuel, air, spark, which makes the chip more efficient and produce more HP for your car. If you purchase the chip as one of the first modifications, it will help, but as you add stuff to the intake, exhaust, ignition, fuel system you would have to reprogram it all the time which would be a waste of money, so I'd make it one of your last modifications unless you buy a multiple bank chip like the Diablo chip. They are run by some ex Superchip employees, and Diablo chip really knows their shyte. They also love working with Fords, especially ones that don't get alot of attention..

BACKGROUND
Systemic corticosteroid therapy is central to the management of acute asthma The use of inhaled corticosteroids may also be beneficial in this setting.
OBJECTIVES
To determine the benefit of inhaled corticosteroids for the treatment of patients with acute asthma managed in the emergency department (ED).
SEARCH STRATEGY
Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) were identified from the Cochrane Airways Review Group register. Bibliographies from included studies, known reviews, and texts also were searched. The search is considered updated to February of 2003.
SELECTION CRITERIA
Only RCTs or quasi-randomised trials were eligible for inclusion. Studies were included if patients presented with acute asthma to the ED or its equivalent, and were treated with inhaled corticosteroids or placebo, in addition to standard therapy. Two reviewers independently selected potentially relevant articles, and then independently selected articles for inclusion. Methodological quality was independently assessed by two reviewers.
DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS
Data were extracted independently by two reviewers if the authors were unable to verify the validity of extracted information. Missing data were obtained from the authors or calculated from other data presented in the paper.
MAIN RESULTS
Eight trials were selected for inclusion, but data were not available for one of them. In the seven usable trials, (4 adult, 3 paediatric), a total of 376 patients were studied (191 with inhaled corticosteroids, 185 without). Patients treated with inhaled corticosteroids were less likely to be admitted to hospital (OR: 0.30; 95% CI: 0.16, 0.57). This benefit was evident in the subgroup of patients not receiving concomitant systemic steroids (OR 0.21; 95% CI: 0.08, 0.53). Patients receiving concomitant systemic steroids showed a similar, but non-significant, trend towards reduced admissions compared to placebo treatment (OR 0.45; 95% CI: 0.18, 1.12). Patients receiving inhaled corticosteroids also demonstrated small, significant improvements in peak expiratory flows (PEFR WMD: 8%; 95% CI: 3, 13 %) and forced expiratory volumes (FEV1 WMD: 5%; 95% CI: 0.4, 10 %). The treatment was well tolerated, with few reported adverse side effects. A secondary analysis compared inhaled corticosteroids alone vs systemic steroids alone; in the four trials included, there was significant heterogeneity between the study results for admission rates which precluded meaningful pooling of the study results.
REVIEWER'S CONCLUSIONS
Inhaled steroids reduced admission rates in patients with acute asthma, but it is unclear if there is a benefit of inhaled corticosteroids when used in addition to systemic corticosteroids. There is insufficient evidence that inhaled corticosteroids result in clinically important changes in pulmonary function or clinical scores when used in acute asthma. Similarly, there is insufficient evidence that inhaled corticosteroids alone are as effective as systemic steroids. Further research is needed to clarify if there is a benefit of inhaled corticosteroids when used in addition to systemic steroids.<|endoftext|>The effects of burn blister fluid on cultured keratinocytes.
OBJECTIVE
Previous studies have suggested that burn blister fluid (BBF) may be detrimental to the healing of the underlying wound bed. In this study, the effects of burn blister fluid on cultured keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation were examined and quantitated using various techniques.
METHODS
At three different concentrations (2 |
biggest breakthrough came in the summer between her eighth- and ninth-grade years.
Brown, 13 at the time, was playing her first year of club ball, and she helped her team, Cal Sparks 15U, reach the semifinals of Fila Nationals in Atlanta.
The next day, she was moved up to Cal Sparks' Gold 17U team. Playing with and against numerous players who were three and four years older, Brown did not look out of place.
That team, led by incoming UCLA freshman Jordin Canada at point guard, had an incredible summer, finishing 44-1 and earning a No. 2 national ranking, according to coach Elbert Kinnebrew.
Brown, who is left-handed, filled in when another UCLA recruit, forward Lajahna Drummer, got hurt. Kinnebrew said Brown fit right in as a reserve in the rotation.
"Jaelyn is an incredible athlete with amazing leaping ability," Kinnebrew said. "I've seen her jump up and grab passes that you think are surely headed out of bounds. She's an all-around talent who is hungry to get better."
Brown was an instant hit as a Vista Murrieta freshman, producing 24 points, 11 rebounds, 6 steals and 3 assists in her first varsity game.
"She was an immediate starter for us, and I was interested to see how she would do in her first game," Vista Murrieta coach Chris Jones said. "It was a tournament [in San Diego], and there were a lot of college scouts there.
"Well, she was four steals short of a triple-double."
As a sophomore, she led her team in scoring (18.3), steals (3.7) and blocks (1.2). She also averaged 9.6 rebounds for a 23-7 team.
The next step in Brown's evolution is her jump shot, which sets her apart and also holds the key to her future to a large extent.
Kinnebrew said Brown is a rarity at this level in that she shoots a true jumper, releasing the ball at the height of her leap. That's true even on 3-pointers, on which she gets 18 inches of elevation.
Because of that, Brown's shot rarely gets blocked. But the accuracy -- just 18 percent from 3-point territory for Vista Murrieta last season -- needs to improve significantly.
Although she didn't make the USA U17 team this summer, Jaelyn Brown said she'll learn from the trials experience.
"When she shoots the 3, she becomes a mere mortal," Kinnebrew said. "I'm trying to get her to focus on her midrange game, where she is a terror. If she attacks the basket more, she can be a 20-point scorer."
Jones said Brown projects as a small forward in college. But the coach thinks she can play shooting guard and maybe even the point.
"Jaelyn is dynamic off the dribble," he said. "When she makes up her mind that she will get to the basket, she is going to get there. Going right, going left -- that's her true gift.
"She is long and athletic and a lockdown defender. She is an above-average shooter right now. But when she gets that jump shot completely down, she will be unguardable."
Brown, who is interested in studying psychology, said she is in no hurry to pick a college and likely will wait until the end of her junior year before she commits.
In the meantime, she will have a little extra motivation since she was recently cut from the USA Basketball U17 tryouts in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Brown made the cut to 46 players, which was the last trim before the final 12 were selected.
Brown was obviously disappointed yet exceptionally mature about everything that happened at the tryouts.
"There was a whole bunch of talent there, and I think anyone could have made the team, especially in the last round of 46 girls," Brown said.
"It was a pretty fun experience. I didn't get my hopes up too much -- I was going to be OK with whatever they decided. The level of competition was amazing, and I obviously didn't show enough. It definitely motivates me to make the team next<|endoftext|>The New Rapture: Jordan is back and he's got nothing to do
I've spent the last YEAR doing everything legally possible to try to rescue my daughter's friend "Jordan" from some isolated "Behavior Modification" camp in the backwoods of Montana where they sit around in "therapy sessions" and scream at a bunch of poor trapped kids for hours on end about what failures they are and how their parents are saints and gods.
But as hard as I tried, I couldn't spring Jordan out of there. If you are not a child's legal guardian, there is nothing you can do. Period. Jordan's parents have signed over their rights to this "program" and he is stuck there until he turns 18. Or is he?
My daughter got a phone call last week. "Hi. This is Jordan. I'm back." After she calmed down from her verbal celebration that could be heard a block away, she asked Jordan how this miracle came to be. "I got tired of them screaming at me. It really upset me. I ran away." So. Jordan hadn't been brainwashed after all. He had just been biding his time. Good boy.
Jordan is back! Jordan is back! Hurray!
Back to living with his family. Back in the same circumstances that created his parents' desire to send him away in the first place. How will Jordan handle it this time?
Just like last time. Poorly. But instead of defending himself, rebelling and fighting back like he did before, Jordan, in the past week, has turned self-destructive. You want more details? Ask Jordan. Ask him, "Knowing that you have NO experience with alcohol and what it can do to people, what the hell were you thinking when you drank that fifth of gin neat?" If my daughter hadn't got Jordan's parents to drag his sorry ass off to the hospital last night, according to his ER physician he would be dead right now instead of just getting a stomach pump and an IV.
I am in shock.
Our Jordan is sweet, bright, cheerful, capable, charming and funny. He is the cream of America's youth. And, like a lot of other upper and middle-class American children, he's spinning his wheels and throwing it all away.
How dare he.
Like those damn behavior modification programs, I too want to shake him and scream -- but not about his past or his parents. That's gone, that's over. I want to scream about what happens next, about Jordan's FUTURE. "Jordan!" I'd say. "Wake up! There is a reason for you to still be living -- and it's not just to keep your parents entertained. If you weren't here, they would go out and find someone else to create soap opera for them. Forget about them. There are other fish to fry."
Other fish to fry? Huh?
I look at it this way. Recently, members of America's "Religious Right" have purchased over 42 million books based on the idea that "The Rapture" is a good thing and that the sooner the human race descends into disease, violence and evil the better. We have MILLIONS of people, right here in America, who think that God will actually be PLEASED if George Bush and people like him succeed in their attempts to blow up the planet -- with us still on it.
Sure, to rational people, this sounds totally stupid but it is also the total reality of our times. Here in America, we actually have ten million cheerleaders waving their pompoms and hoping and cheering that life as we know it will be totally destroyed.
You think the terrorists are out to get us? WE NEED A DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY TO PROTECT US FROM THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT!
So. Jordan. There IS a reason for you to stay alive. There is a reason for ALL of us to be alive. We ALL are needed to stop this "Rapture" insanity and help make this world a better place.
Where to start? Didn't Someone once say, "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you"? That's what the New Rapture should be. And it is much harder work -- and far more courageous -- than just wallowing in destruction and hate.
"Love thy neighbor as thyself."
THAT would surely indicate the Second Coming of Christ.
PS: WHERE did Jordan learn about the effects of chugging a fifth of gin? From talking to other desperate kids at the behavior modification program? More than likely.
PPS: Has Jordan finally become endangered enough for child protective services to step in and do something? Probably not. It's a class thing. Can you imagine CPS stepping in and interfering with the way George and Barbara Bush raised little Georgie?

Speaking of America's youth doing right, my youngest daughter just got her Girl Scout Gold Award this week! This is a BIG DEAL. It's like becoming an Eagle Scout if you are a boy. She spent two years on it, learned to sew and design clothes, made a video on how to dress well out of the People's Park free box, gave a fashion show to benefit the Vera Casey Center for teen mothers, collected a whole WORLD of stuff animals to donate, spoke at meetings, got articles published and generally made people aware that helping mothers and children is a GOOD thing. I am VERY proud of her. Here's MY article on Vera Casey: Here's some photos of my |
pathological findings.
RESULTS
The mean prostatic volume was greater in the cases with BPH and chronic inflammatory foci than those with prostatic cancer (p < 0.001). Twenty percent of the patients showed suspicious areas vs 75.1% of the cancers (< 0.001); 66.7% of those with chronic inflammatory foci showed classifications vs 40.6% of the cancers (p < 0.001). The patients with chronic inflammatory foci had PSA values that fell in between those of the BPH and cancer groups (p < 0.05). PSA density also showed intermediate values, although they were not significantly different.
CONCLUSIONS
The presence of chronic prostatic inflammatory foci can increase serum PSA levels. To date, it is not possible to identify this group of patients to avoid a biopsy.<|endoftext|>Usefulness of stellate ganglion block for refractory angina pectoris
ABSTRACT Chronic refractory angina pectoris (AP) affects 600,000 to 1,800,000 Americans, with approximately 50,000 new cases annually. A recent study revealed long-term mortality of refractory AP to be lower than previously reported, with >70% of patients living >9 years. Treating AP can improve quality of life. We describe a patient with refractory AP who underwent a successful stellate ganglion block for symptom control.<|endoftext|>Gardaí are appealing for information in relation to a burglary at a house in Glencar Park, Letterkenny that happened on Friday, March 13 at 2.10am.
A lady got up out of bed to use the bathroom and noticed that the light was on in the kitchen and the kitchen door was open. She went in and seen a male crouched down packing up some of her belongings.
She exited the kitchen into the hallway and locked the door and shouted for the male to leave and that she was calling the Gardaí. He then left.
It is not known how long this male was in the property and he had searched through a number of rooms before being found. He was wearing a black jacket.
A Nokia phone, a tablet with a lime green cover, a number of other small items and a small sum of cash was stolen.
Gardai are appealing to anyone in the Glencar area who may have seen this male to contact them, particularly taxi drivers who may have been in the area and who would also have dash cam footage.

<|endoftext|>The design essay series continues with Matthew McFarland telling us about Dust to Dust, a new story supplement for Vampire: the Masquerade from White Wolf. Dust to Dust is a story supplement using the Storytelling Adventure System designed for use with Vampire: The Masquerade 20th Anniversary Edition, and it acts as a spiritual successor to the classic story Ashes to Ashes.
Dust to Dust wasn’t the hardest scenario I’ve ever had to write (that’d be “To Grandmother’s House” for Nights of Prophecy), but it certainly presented some strange challenges. The biggest and most obvious one, of course, was that I hadn’t touched Vampire: The Masquerade since 2004 or so (probably longer, since I think the last Masquerade material I wrote was for the Vampire Players Guide (well, other than the Vampire Translation Guide). The differences between Masquerade and Requiem are real (though much subtler than, say, the differences between the versions of Werewolf or Changeling) and I’d been working with Requiem and the rest of the new World of Darkness for six years. Getting myself back into an old — sorry, “classic” — World of Darkness headspace was harder than I expected.
So once I kind of got over myself, working Dust to Dust was a lot easier. At that point, all I had to do was write a Vampire scenario based on a 20-year-old supplement using mechanics, tone and metaplot with which I was largely unfamiliar. As they say on the Internet, facepalm. Dave Martin and the Wrecking Crew were nice enough to give me an outline to work from. The outline was pretty basic; it just suggested keeping Juggler and Modius (and Allicia, whom I wound up cutting), using Sullivan Dane as an antagonist, and raised the possibility of the “jar of ashes that turns out to be an elder Samedi” as a Macguffin, which I thought was just too cool to ignore.
I was thrilled to see Dane mentioned. I love Sullivan Dane. I used him in a lot of my old World of Darkness games, though I don’t remember him ever actually fighting characters, even in Vampire games. He was one of the first in a long series of Storyteller characters who were nominally antagonistic, but were too well-realized and useful to just kill (plus, my players really enjoyed the accent I used when playing him). He shows up in the very first thing I ever wrote for White Wolf (Giovanni Chronicles IV: Nuovo Malattia), just for a cameo, and I knew I wanted him in Dust to Dust in the same capacity I’d always used him: the unspoken threat. The guy had True Faith 8 in his original presentation, for crying out loud, if he wants a vampire dead, it’s dead. Even with the Faith rules cleaned up a bit for V20, Dane is a badass. The suggestion in the outline was for him to become blood-addicted, but that didn’t make any sense (again, True Faith). If Dane had fallen far enough to become a ghoul, the story would have to be about him to make any sense, and I didn’t want to do that.
So at that point I knew I wanted to use Dane, that I really liked the notion of a dormant elder Samedi in ash form, and that I had to make some kind of use of Gary’s political structure as presented in Vampire: The Masquerade and Ashes to Ashes. This isn’t an easy starting point. Political scenarios are hard to write, because they’re boring to read. Heck, opinion is sorely divided, in my experience, as to whether they’re any fun to play (my own opinion is yes, they can be fun to play if you have a group of players that favors dialog and improvises well, but if your players would rather go see supernatural craziness or have bloody brawls in alleys, politics is a poor substitute). And the other problem with political Vampire scenarios is that they’re slow. I needed a sense of immediacy.

Background: Hydatid cyst of the liver (HCL) is a parasitic infestation caused by several species of Echinococcus and is endemic in many sheep‐raising areas. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the value of clinical, physical and laboratory findings and to discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic options in 250 patients with HCL.<|endoftext|>An engineering school at a primarily undergraduate, public, regional university in the Midwest uses a liberal intellectual property policy in conjunction with hands-on design and build projects in multiple classes to enable students to reap the rewards of their product ideas. The university's intellectual property policy contains two interesting facets that pertain to student innovation. First, students own their ideas. If a student proposes an idea to work on in a course then the student owns the resulting intellectual property as long as the student does not use more resources than the typical project in the class. The other interesting part of the policy is the concept of the innovation committee. The innovation committee, consisting of faculty and administrators, reviews intellectual property submitted by faculty and students. Faculty are required to submit their patentable ideas but for students it is optional. If the committee decides the idea has commercial potential, then the student negotiates a financial agreement to move the product forward through the patent process to market. The innovation committee usually offers money to obtain a patent, create a more refined prototype or help in licensing the technology. In return the student inventors agree to pay the committee a percentage of profits or give the committee part ownership in the resulting company. Examples of several student projects that used the assistance of the innovation committee will be described in the paper.
Grand Valley State University (GVSU) is a public primarily-undergraduate regional comprehensive university serving over 26,000 students. The university was founded in 1960. Today the Mission of the school is “Educating students to shape their lives, their professions, and their societies. The university contributes to the enrichment of society through excellent teaching, active scholarship, and public service”. To fulfill the pubic service aspect of the mission statement, the School of Engineering (SOE) was established in 1980 to supply local industry with engineers capable of assuming leadership roles. Since it founding the SOE has been able to expand and build two buildings with the financial support of local industry. In the past decade |
