I mean I’m still confused as to why she hasn’t call him up about this whole world killer thing? Like yeah he knows less about krypton than her but he has a fortress that will tell him anything?? Plus they are the only living family they have left idk why they wouldn’t communicate just a little more. There hasn’t been a single word said about him. Not even from Jimmy who is supposed to be his best friend. I agree that he shouldn’t be a huge part in supergirl, but like mentioning him would be nice. Like sometimes you see things in flash or arrow about something happening in the other shows city on tv or news papers. Just something ya know?

God's Judgment upon the Prince of Tyre v. 1. The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying, v. 2. Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, the ruler of the great commercial capital arid metropolis, Thus saith the Lord God, He who holds in his hand the fate of empires as well as of individuals, Because thine heart is lifted up, in sinful, blasphemous pride, and thou hast said, I am a God, a claim advanced by many heathen rulers who demanded for themselves divine veneration, I sit in the seat of God, on the throne of the one heavenly Ruler Himself, in the midst of the seas, considering the stronghold of his capital impregnable as far as men and the forces of nature were concerned; yet thou art a man, merely a lowly and mortal human being, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God, not only imagining himself to hold the position of God, but also thinking of himself as possessing, and able to use, the almighty power of God; v. 3. behold, thou art wiser than Daniel, that is, the Tyrian ruler held this opinion concerning himself, he placed his knowledge and understanding above that of the wisest man of his time; there is no secret that they can hide from thee, this assertion on the part of the heathen prince again placing him on the level of Daniel with his revelations concerning the future; v. 4. with thy wisdom and with thine understanding, particularly his business acumen, thou hast gotten thee riches, his business sagacity having brought its own reward, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures, so that the wealth of this commercial metropolis of the world, as later that of Venice, was almost unbelievably great; v. 5. by thy great wisdom, with which he credited himself, and by thy traffic, the trade which had been established in the course of the centuries, hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches, this being the effect which the possession of wealth has in the majority of cases: v. 6. therefore thus saith the Lord God, taking up the thought of verse 2 once more, for the intervening statements are intended, of course, only as an ironical concession, picturing the empty boastfulness of the heathen ruler, in his overwhelming opinion of himself, Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God, ascribing an honor to himself which only the one true God possesses: v. 7. behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, invaders from foreign lands, the terrible of the nations, for the Chaldeans were known for the fierceness of their natures; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, for the showiness of the trade and commerce of Tyre was the offspring of the busines s acumen with which the king prided himself, and they shall defile thy brightness, literally, "profane thy shining beauty," treating it with mocking disrespect, destroying it with rough ruthlessness. v. 8. They shall bring thee, namely, the ruler himself, down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas, the expression denoting that the prince, as it were, died the death of every inhabitant of Tyre who was slain, his fate overtaking him as in a mighty shipwreck. v. 9. Wilt thou yet say before Him that slayeth thee, I am God? Would the Tyrian prince, after the sentence of God had gone into effect, still make such extravagant claims for himself and his power anti wisdom? But thou shalt be a man and no God, that is, he would be given proof positive to that effect, in the hand of Him that slayeth thee, namely, completely at the mercy of the one and only Ruler of the universe. v. 10. Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised, such as the godless heathen deserve by their blasphemous pride, by the hand of strangers, in further humiliation upon him and in just retribution upon him who had probably often scoffed at the Jews; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. Though the unbelievers jeer at the fact, yet it remains true that the Lord resents every insult offered his saints and will in due time take his revenge upon his enemies. Lamentation over the King of Tyre v. 11. Moreover, the word of the Lord, of Jehovah, the Lord of the covenant, came unto me, saying, v. 12. Son of man, take up a lamentation, raising a mournful song, upon the king of Tyrus and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God, Thou sealest up the sum, literally, "Thou sealer-up of the measure of perfection. " full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. The prince of Tyre had erected the building of Tyre's wealth and beauty in perfection of symmetry and exactness of detail and, as it were, placed his seal upon the finished product, which was certainly wonderful in the eyes of men. v. 13. Thou hast been in Eden, the garden of God, the outward aspect of Tyre being that of ideal loveliness, of the greatest earthly advantages, as a garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, all possible magnificence was exhibited in the adornment of the city and particularly of the king's person, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, or chrysolite, the onyx and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, or the chrysoprase, and the carbuncle, stones of varying degrees of hardness and of the most beautiful colors, and gold, for it was this metal in which the precious stones were set; the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created, literally, "the service of thy kettledrums and of thy women was ready for thee on the day of thy creation," that is, the prince of Tyre was born to the luxury of music and costly amusements, or he entered upon them on the day of his accession, he was accustomed to them from his earliest days. v. 14. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth, because he, as an anointed king, had the duty of protecting a nation of people, like a sanctuary in God's care; and I have set thee so; thou wast upon the holy mountain of God, for he was God's representative in governing the Tyrian state; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire, which, like a fiery wall erected by God, protected the king in his office. Note that the pictures throughout are taken from the true Temple-worship and from the functions of kings of Judah, with which Ezekiel was familiar. v. 15. Thou wast perfect in thy ways, and therefore, in outer civic righteousness, acceptable to the Lord, from the day that thou wast created, which most likely means the day of his accession to the throne, till iniquity was found in thee, namely, when he made himself unworthy of his position on account of rebelliousness and perverseness. v. 16. By the multitude of thy merchandise, that is, on account of the fact that the commerce of Tyre gave the state great power among the nations, they have filled the midst of thee with violence, the unrighteous mammon held in the city having this influence upon those in power, that it caused them to violate the rights of the poor and needy, and thou hast sinned, the prince with his people; therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God, deposing him from his position as leader of the people; and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Cf v. 14. v. 17. Thine heart was lifted up, in blasphemous self-elation, because of thy beauty, of which the ruler of Tyre was so inordinately proud, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness, thinking that Tyre's splendor would serve as an excuse for every form of sin and guilt; I will cast thee to the ground, dashing him to utter destruction, I will lay thee before kings that they may behold thee, as an example of God's wrath upon such as are lifted up in sinful pride. v. 18. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries, the special holy privileges which are given by the Lord to governments, by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity, the deep corruptness, of thy traffic; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, the prince's iniquity itself becoming such a consuming fire; it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth, thus completely consumed, in the sight of all them that behold thee, the surrounding nations being witnesses of Tyre's complete overthrow. v. 19. All they that know thee among the people, being acquainted with Tyre's former position and wealth, shall be astonished at thee; thou shalt be a terror, an object of horror to others, and never shalt thou be any more. This prophecy, together with the entire cycle of prophecies, was fulfilled partly in the days of Nebuchadnezzar, but still more completely at the time of Alexander the Great. If rightly interpreted and on the basis of all available data, secular history invariably supports the historical descriptions given in the Bible. Prophecy Against Zidon v. 20. Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, v. 21. Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, the other large city of Phoenicia, and formerly its capital, and prophesy against it v. 22. and say, Thus saith the Lord God, whose powerful rule extends over all the earth, Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee, namely, by carrying out this sentence of judgment upon her; and they shall know that I am the Lord, the one true God, when I shall have executed judgments in her and shall be sanctified in her, her overthrow redounding to the setting forth of His holiness. v. 23. For I will send into her pestilence and blood into her streets, two of the three great scourges of war; and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her, the slain falling everywhere, by the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am the Lord. v. 24. And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, namely, by the continual temptation and offense which the people of Zidon gave to the Jews, nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, all the surrounding heathen nations, Cf Jos_23:13, that despised them, for it was on account of this contempt that the heathen first ensnared Israel in sin and then became the instrument of punishing them; and they shall know that I am the Lord God. v. 25. Thus saith the Lord God, in rounding out this section of His prophecy, When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, in the Babylonian captivity, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, namely, by their repentant return to the true worship, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to My servant Jacob. v. 26. And they shall dwell safely therein, in peace and security, and shall build houses and plant vineyards, as in times of perfect peace; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, in firm trust in the God of their salvation, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them, by taking every advantage of them; and they shall know that I am the Lord, their God. The Messianic era was prepared, in a measure, by the return of the repentant Jews to the home of their fathers, and the Lord had His congregation in their midst from that time on; but the full realization of the tenor of these words did not come until the kingdom of the Messiah was established by the preaching of the Gospel of God's mercy by Jesus and by His apostles.

My name is Amanda Martinson and I'm very excited to be part of the 6th grade team at Keewaydin. I've taught middle school math for 9 years in Minneapolis. This year in math, students will learn a variety of new math concepts and skills (Learning Targets). We will be following the district's Focused Instruction that includes algebra, geometry, probability, number sense, statistics, and basic skills. We will explore several kinds of measurement: perimeter, area, and volume. It is important to study these ideas together and to probe their relationship to each other. justifying how to solve mathematical and real-world problems involving the surface area and volume of triangular and rectangular prisms.

Now that you're familiar with the general characteristics of the common controls, let's look at specifics for a few of the control types. We'll start with sliders, spin buttons, and ToolTip controls, which are all relatively simple to program and which are also generic enough that they can be put to use in a variety of applications. After we've looked at these controls and the corresponding MFC control classes, we'll write a sample program that uses a slider control and a pair of spin buttons in a dialog box and also uses a ToolTip control to provide context-sensitive help. Rather than use a raw CToolTipCtrl to implement the ToolTip control, we'll use CToolTipCtrl as a base class for a class of our own and add a pair of handy member functions that correct a rather severe deficiency in MFC's ToolTip implementation. Slider controls, also known as trackbar controls, are similar to the sliding volume controls found on many radios and stereo systems. A slider has a thumb that moves like the thumb in a scroll bar. After you create a slider, you set the minimum and maximum values representing the extremes of the thumb's travel and optionally set the initial thumb position. The user can then reposition the thumb by dragging it with the left mouse button or clicking the channel in which the thumb slides. When a slider has the input focus, its thumb can also be moved with the arrow keys, the Page Up and Page Down keys, and the Home and End keys. A simple function call returns an integer representing the thumb position. If desired, you can respond to positional changes as the thumb is moved by processing control notifications. Figure 16-2 shows what a simple slider control looks like. Tick marks denote the positions the thumb can assume. Figure 16-2. A horizontal slider with tick marks denoting thumb stops. The table below shows slider-specific control styles. A slider can be oriented horizontally or vertically. The default orientation if neither TBS_HORZ nor TBS_VERT is specified is horizontal. The TBS_AUTOTICKS style marks thumb stops with tick marks. If the slider's range is 0 through 8, TBS_AUTOTICKS creates nine tick marks—one at each end of the slider and seven in between. TBS_NOTICKS removes the tick marks altogether, and TBS_NOTHUMB creates a slider that has no thumb. If you specify neither TBS_AUTOTICKS nor TBS_NOTICKS, the slider has a tick mark at each end but none in between. By default, tick marks are drawn below a horizontal slider and to the right of a vertical slider. You can move the tick marks to the top or the left by specifying TBS_TOP or TBS_LEFT, or you can use TBS_BOTH to create a slider that has tick marks both above and below or to its right and left. TBS_HORZ Orients the slider horizontally. TBS_VERT Orients the slider vertically. TBS_LEFT Draws tick marks to the left of a vertical slider. TBS_RIGHT Draws tick marks to the right of a vertical slider. TBS_TOP Draws tick marks above a horizontal slider. TBS_BOTTOM Draws tick marks below a horizontal slider. TBS_BOTH Draws tick marks both above and below a horizontal slider or to the left and right of a vertical slider. TBS_NOTICKS Removes tick marks from the slider. TBS_AUTOTICKS Positions a tick mark at each stop in the slider's range. TBS_FIXEDLENGTH Allows the thumb size to be modified by sending the control a TBM_SETTHUMBLENGTH message. TBS_NOTHUMB Removes the thumb from the slider. TBS_ENABLESELRANGE Widens the slider's channel so that a selection range can be displayed. TBS_TOOLTIPS* Adds a dynamic ToolTip control that moves with the thumb and displays the thumb position. Use CSliderCtrl::SetToolTips to replace the default ToolTip control with one of your own. set the slider's range to 0 through 8 and its thumb position to 2. place tick marks at 2, 3, and 6 in addition to the ones drawn at 0 and 8. set the range to 0 through 8 and the selection to 3 through 7, producing the slider seen in Figure 16-3. Setting a selection doesn't limit the thumb's travel; the thumb can still be positioned anywhere in the slider range. If you want to limit the thumb's travel to the selection range or allow the user to alter the selection, you must implement a custom slider control UI. The most practical approach to customizing the UI is to derive a class from CSliderCtrl and add message handlers that change the way the control responds to presses of the Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, and arrow keys and clicks of the left mouse button. To perform default processing on selected messages, simply pass those messages to the base class. Figure 16-3. A slider with a selection range. As its thumb is moved, a slider sends its parent WM_HSCROLL or WM_VSCROLL messages as a scroll bar does. An OnHScroll or OnVScroll handler for a slider control receives three parameters: a notification code, an integer specifying the latest thumb position, and a CScrollBar pointer that can be cast to a CSliderCtrl pointer. The table below shows the nine possible notification codes and the actions that generate them. The thumb position passed to OnHScroll or OnVScroll is valid only when the notification code is TB_THUMBPOSITION or TB_THUMBTRACK. Use CSliderCtrl::GetPos to retrieve the thumb position in response to other types of notifications. TB_TOP The Home key is pressed while the slider has the input focus. TB_BOTTOM The End key is pressed while the slider has the input focus. TB_LINEDOWN The down or right arrow key is pressed while the slider has the input focus. TB_LINEUP The up or left arrow key is pressed while the slider has the input focus. TB_PAGEDOWN The Page Down key is pressed while the slider has the input focus, or the channel is clicked right of the thumb in a horizontal slider or below the thumb in a vertical slider. TB_PAGEUP The Page Up key is pressed while the slider has the input focus, or the channel is clicked left of the thumb in a horizontal slider or above the thumb in a vertical slider. TB_THUMBTRACK The thumb is dragged to a new position with the mouse. TB_THUMBPOSITION The left mouse button is released after the thumb is dragged. TB_ENDTRACK The key or mouse button used to move the thumb to a new position is released. One use for slider notifications is for dynamically updating an image on the screen in response to positional changes. The Settings page of the system's Display Properties property sheet, which you can display by right-clicking the desktop and selecting Properties from the context menu, processes TB_THUMBTRACK notifications from the slider in the Screen Area box and redraws an image of the computer screen each time the thumb moves to preview the effect the new setting will have on the desktop. CSliderCtrl provides more than two dozen functions you can use to operate on slider controls. Other useful member functions include SetPageSize, which sets the number of units the thumb moves when the channel is clicked with the mouse or when Page Up or Page Down is pressed; GetTic, GetTicPos, GetTicArray, and GetNumTicks, which return information about tick marks; and ClearSel, which removes a selection range. See the MFC documentation for more information regarding these and other CSliderCtrl function members. Spin button controls, which are also known as up-down controls, are small windows containing arrows that point up and down or left and right. Like scroll bars and sliders, spin buttons maintain their own ranges and positions. Clicking the up or right arrow increments the current position, and clicking the down or left arrow decrements it. Spin button controls send their parents notification messages before and after each positional change, but often those notifications are ignored because spin buttons are capable of doing some extraordinarily useful things on their own. You can choose from the styles shown in the following table when you create a spin button control. UDS_SETBUDDYINT creates a spin button control that automatically updates an integer value displayed in a "buddy" control, which is typically an edit control or a static text control. When a UDS_SETBUDDYINT-style spin button control undergoes a positional change, it converts the integer describing the new position into a text string (think _itoa) and uses ::SetWindowText to display the string in its buddy. UDS_SETBUDDYINT makes it trivial to add a set of arrows to an edit control so that the user can enter a number by either typing it at the keyboard or dialing it in with the mouse. UDS_HORZ Orients the arrows horizontally rather than vertically. UDS_WRAP Causes the position to wrap around if it's decremented or incremented beyond the minimum or maximum. UDS_ARROWKEYS Adds a keyboard interface. If a spin button control with this style has the input focus, the up and down arrow keys increment and decrement its position. UDS_NOTHOUSANDS Removes thousands separators so that 1,234,567 is displayed as 1234567. UDS_SETBUDDYINT Creates a spin button control that updates the text of a designated buddy control when the position is incremented or decremented. UDS_AUTOBUDDY Selects the previous control in the z-order as the spin button's buddy. UDS_ALIGNRIGHT Attaches the spin button control to the right inside border of its buddy. UDS_ALIGNLEFT Attaches the spin button control to the left inside border of its buddy. create a single-line edit control and attach a spin button control to its right inside border, as shown in Figure 16-4. The edit control is shrunk by the width of the spin button control, and the spin button's height is adjusted to match the height of its buddy. Consequently, the edit control and the spin button control together occupy the same amount of space as the original edit control. Information regarding a spin button control's size and position is ignored when UDS_ALIGNLEFT or UDS_ALIGNRIGHT is specified. Figure 16-4. A spin button control attached to an edit control. Hex numbers are preceded by 0x characters so that it's obvious they are hexadecimal. Calling SetBase with a 10 switches output back to decimal format. You can remove separators from decimal numbers by specifying UDS_NOTHOUSANDS when you create the control; thousands separators are omitted from hex numbers by default. You set a spin button control's range and position with CSpinButtonCtrl::SetRange and CSpinButtonCtrl::SetPos. Valid minimums and maximums range from 32,767 through 32,767, but the difference between the low and high ends of the range can't exceed 32,767. It's legal to specify a maximum that's less than the minimum. When you do, the actions of the arrows are reversed. On systems with Internet Explorer 4.0 or later installed, spin button controls support 32-bit ranges whose minimums and maximums can be set and retrieved with the aptly named CSliderCtrl functions SetRange32 and GetRange32. // Do something with the array. See? Nothing to it when you know the secret. Before its position is incremented or decremented, a spin button control sends its parent a WM_NOTIFY message with a notification code equal to UDN_DELTAPOS and an lParam pointing to an NM_UPDOWN structure. Inside the structure are integers specifying the current position (iPos) and the amount by which the position is about to change (iDelta). A UDN_DELTAPOS handler must set *pResult to FALSE to allow the change to occur. To purposely prevent an increment or decrement operation being carried out, have the handler set *pResult to TRUE, and then return TRUE from OnNotify. UDN_DELTAPOS notifications are followed by WM_HSCROLL or WM_VSCROLL messages (depending on whether the spin button is oriented horizontally or vertically) reporting the new position. Clicking the down arrow when the control's current position is 8 produces the following sequence of messages. If the button is held down for more than a half second or so, several UDN_DELTAPOS and SB_THUMBPOSITION notifications are sent in sequence. A ToolTip is a miniature help-text window that appears when the cursor pauses over a "tool" such as a button on a toolbar or a control in a dialog box. A ToolTip control is a control that monitors mouse movements and automatically displays a ToolTip when the cursor remains motionless over a tool for a predetermined period of time. MFC provides a convenient C++ interface to ToolTip controls through the CToolTipCtrl class. With CToolTipCtrl to help out, it's relatively easy to add ToolTips to controls in dialog boxes and implement other forms of interactive help. You simply create a ToolTip control and register the tools for which you'd like ToolTips displayed and the text of the ToolTips. For the most part, the control does the rest. creates a ToolTip control. CToolTipCtrl::Create accepts an optional second parameter specifying the control's style. The only two styles supported are TTS_ALWAYSTIP and TTS_NOPREFIX. By default, ToolTips appear over active windows only. A TTS_ALWAYSTIP-style ToolTip control displays ToolTips over both active and inactive windows. TTS_NOPREFIX tells the control not to strip ampersands from ToolTip text. The default behavior is to ignore ampersands so that you can use the same text strings for menus and ToolTips. creates a tool from the specified rectangle in pWnd's client area. IDT_RECTANGLE is a nonzero integer that identifies the rectangle and is analogous to a child window ID identifying a control. So far, so good. There's just one problem. A ToolTip control has to be able to see the mouse messages a tool receives so that it can monitor mouse events and know when to display a ToolTip, but Windows sends mouse messages to the window underneath the cursor. In the examples above, it's up to you to forward mouse messages going to pWnd to the ToolTip control. If pWnd corresponds to a top-level window or a dialog box, forwarding mouse messages is no big deal because you can map the relevant mouse messages to handlers in the window class or dialog class and relay them to the ToolTip control with CToolTipCtrl::RelayEvent. But if pWnd points to a child window control or any window other than your own, you have to resort to window subclassing or other devices in order to see mouse messages going to the window and relay them to the ToolTip control. Late in the beta cycle of Windows 95, the operating system architects recognized this problem and gave ToolTip controls the ability to do their own subclassing. Unfortunately, this feature has yet to be folded into CToolTipCtrl. So to make ToolTips truly easy to use, you must customize the CToolTipCtrl class by adding some smarts of your own. The pWnd parameter passed to AddWindowTool identifies the window the ToolTip will be applied to. The pWnd parameter passed to AddRectTool references the window whose client area contains the rectangle referenced in the third parameter. Because of the TTF_SUBCLASS flag passed in the uFlags field of the TOOLINFO structure, the ToolTip control will do its own window subclassing and mouse messages don't have to be relayed manually. A ToolTip control's parent responds to TTN_NEEDTEXT notifications in one of three ways: by copying the address of a text string to the TOOLTIPTEXT structure's lpszText field; by copying the text (as many as 80 characters, including the zero terminator) directly to the structure's szText field; or by copying a string resource ID to lpszText and copying the application's instance handle, which an MFC application can obtain with AfxGetInstanceHandle, to hinst. The idFrom field of the NMHDR structure that's nested inside the TOOLTIPTEXT structure contains either a window handle or an application-defined tool ID identifying the tool for which text is needed. Notice the NULL child window ID specified in the second parameter to the ON_NOTIFY macro in CMyDialog's message map. This parameter must be NULL because CToolTipCtrl::Create registers a NULL child window ID for ToolTip controls. MFC's CToolTipCtrl class includes an assortment of member functions you can use to operate on ToolTip controls. For example, you can use GetText to retrieve the text assigned to a tool, UpdateTipText to change ToolTip text, Activate to activate and deactivate a ToolTip control, and SetDelayTime to change the delay time—the number of milliseconds the cursor must remain motionless before a ToolTip is displayed. The default delay time is 500 milliseconds. The GridDemo application, whose source code appears in Figure 16-6, provides a practical demonstration of slider controls, spin button controls, and ToolTip controls. GridDemo divides a frame window's client area into a grid by drawing intersecting horizontal and vertical lines. By default, the grid contains 8 rows and 8 columns and grid lines are drawn in a medium shade of gray. You can vary the number of rows and columns as well as the darkness of the grid lines by choosing Grid Settings from the Options menu and entering the new settings in the dialog box shown in Figure 16-5. The slider control selects the line weight, and the values entered into the edit controls control the numbers of rows and columns. Valid values range from 2 through 64; you can type in the numbers or use the arrow buttons. When the cursor pauses over the slider or either of the edit controls, a ToolTip window appears with a short description of the tool underneath. Figure 16-5. GridDemo's Settings dialog box with a ToolTip displayed. Figure 16-6. The GridDemo application. // Initialize the slider control. // Initialize the spin button controls. // Create and initialize a tooltip control. // before dismissing the dialog. You can see the text associated with these resource IDs by opening the project, switching to ResourceView, and viewing the string table. The slider and spin button controls are part of the dialog template and are programmed using CSliderCtrl and CSpinButtonCtrl member functions. The slider's range and initial position are set in OnInitDialog, and the final thumb position is retrieved in OnOK. The spin buttons' ranges are also initialized in OnInitDialog, but their positions don't have to be explicitly set or retrieved because the edit controls that the spin buttons are buddied to are served by Dialog Data Exchange (DDX) and Dialog Data Validation (DDV) routines. These statements do what DDX would have done had it been supported. (Interestingly enough, MFC 6 includes a DDX_Slider function that performs DDX on slider controls, but it's fatally flawed because it initializes a slider with a position but not a range. Try it and you'll see what I mean.) m_wndSlider is a CSliderCtrl member variable that I added to the dialog class with ClassWizard. m_wndSpinHorz and m_wndSpinVert are CSpinButtonCtrl member variables; I added them with ClassWizard as well. All three are linked to controls in the dialog via DDX_Control statements in DoDataExchange. Because GridDemo doesn't create a logical palette with shades of gray representing the different line weight settings, the full range of line weights isn't visible on 16-color and 256-color video adapters. As an exercise, you might try adding palette support by adding a CPalette data member to the frame window and using PALETTERGB or PALETTEINDEX colors to draw the grid lines. Refer to Chapter 15 for more information on GDI palettes and MFC's CPalette class.

BOLIVIA: Salesian hydroelectric plant brings energy and jobs to the remote village of Kami (MissionNewswire) The village of Kami, nestled high in the Andes Mountains in Bolivia, faces extreme isolation from the rest of the country. A persistently cold climate, coupled with negative health effects faced by residents due to the tungsten mining industry that drives the local economy, make for harsh living conditions. Residents of Kami have an average life expectancy of just 40 years. Before Salesian missionaries first arrived in the village in 1977, illiteracy rates were extremely high. With the exception of mining, the sole source of income and sustenance for families in Kami was through farming. And while water in the village was mostly available, electricity was not. Without electricity to power the local school or hospital or to support new business enterprises, the village seemed destined to remain in poverty. In 2016, Salesian Father Serafino Chiesa, in collaboration with other nongovernmental organizations and volunteer groups, worked to connect the village of Kami to Bolivia’s national power grid. They did this by using refurbished turbines to supply light and technology to students, improve medical care to patients and power to a new sawmill facility and other businesses. They even had enough excess energy to enable residents to sell it back to the Bolivian Electricity Board. Kami is now beginning to finance its own sustainable development projects and faces a much brighter future Today the plant employs several people and has grown to supply energy to the Salesian mission and the village, and even enables Salesians to sell the surplus production to the Bolivian state itself. The final part of the hydroelectric network is now nearing completion, thanks to the tenacity of Fr. Chiesa who has spent his life gaining the many skills necessary to develop such an incredible project. The final part of the project consists of the construction of a tunnel but challenges persist. In a recent letter, Fr. Chiesa explained how the construction of a tunnel is challenging because on one side there is water that floods the tunnel, and on the other, there is the constant risk of falling rocks. Fr. Chiesa explained, “In short, we are late with the finalization of the network, but we are alive and stubbornly convinced of moving forward.” In the meantime, however, an encampment has been set up with a kitchen, bathrooms and dormitories for the workers. Work is also being done on the maintenance of the machines and trucks. Some vehicles, such as a bulldozer with 25 years of service already on record, always have new troubles. Bolivia is the poorest country in South America and has the most unequal income distribution on the continent. According to the World Bank, the poverty rate was 35 percent in 2018. It is common for Bolivians to struggle to find adequate nutrition, shelter and other basic necessities. The geography of Bolivia contributes to the overwhelming poverty of its residents. Large swaths of the country remain undeveloped with a lack of roads and infrastructure. ### Sources: ANS Photo (usage permissions and guidelines must be requested from ANS) ANS – Bolivia – Kami, a mission in the clouds Salesian Missions – Bolivia

<< 64 comments: heheh, theres a prick stalking you? ;) oh may i ask what version of wine this is? Yes, you could say that :D Wine version tested: 0.9.58 Windows version emulated: XP Office version: Microsoft Office 2007 thanks, I hope you could also do a separate review of the quirks of Office 2007 in wine later :) Why would you even want to do this? Hi. I followed your guide to get Office 2007 working. Word and Excel works fine but I can't get Powerpoint working. When I open Powerpoint, it shows the popup and then it crashes.

Thanks. > Why would you even want to do this? "if you need to ask 'why', you´re not the audience it is intended for" mine just gets an error upon installing :/ all it says is it encountered an error upon install Office 2007 Enterprise. Also, i couldn't enter my cd key upon install time, after the 3 digit, the continue button would grey out, so i had to try without entering a key, which is when the error occurs. Thanks for the great tutorial. I'm really glad that you continue to post very informative articles about the power of Linux. Keep up the awesome job. Don't listen to the haters out there who don't like Linux or are Apple fanboys. You have my support, and I'm sure there are thousands of other Linux users who enjoy your posts. Hello, "Also, i couldn't enter my cd key upon install time, after the 3 digit, the continue button would grey out, so i had to try without entering a key, which is when the error occurs." You could try installing richedit30.exe .. that should help. Hello a-s-h-o-k, Where to find rpcrt4.dll.so? its not in .cxgames, its in cxgames .... take out the "." Why do I need to use CrossOver Games? Can I use CrossOver Office of Wine? Hello, You have to have CrossOver Games, Crossover Office will not work for this. Wow... Since switching to gnu/linux about 6 months ago i have missed so little. The one exception was Office 2007. Installation went smoothly and the programs seem to be working well. Thank you so much for all your work, it is much, much appreciated. So everything is working fine except for Powerpoint. It crashes after the install screen. After trying and failing to start in safemode, it tries to start in Detect and Repair mode.

I really dont like OpenOffice Presentation. Thanks again! twickline: thanks for posting this how-to. It almost worked perfectly. I've had the same issue as some other users commenting here: Word and Excel work great, but Powerpoint tries to open (the splash screen pops up) and then the application crashes. Any ideas? @twickline: I just read the goodbutbad site and am disappointed in their petty claims. I have been reading this blog since i switched to GNU/Linux and i have the utmost respect for how much you have done to help make wine such an amazing tool. I have been following the Office 2007 install closely and have been excited since you demo'd it a few months ago. I also appreciate that you waited to release it until you had a stable, repeatable process. Don't get weighed down by these few negative, jealous people and please know that for one of them there must be hundreds of us appreciative people. If anybody has come across a workaround to get Powerpoint working, could you post it up? Thanks again for all the help. @Dan wget sh winetricks riched20 riched30 :) Hello Dan, Well if you look at the comments here: Comment deleted This post has been removed by the author. March 27, 2008 2:32 PM This post was by "a-s-h-o-k" I even tried to help the guy.. twickline said... Hello a-s-h-o-k, Where to find rpcrt4.dll.so? its not in .cxgames, its in cxgames .... take out the "." March 27, 2008 11:54 PM Then He came back and deleted his post asking for help and posted his own original howto :D If you look at who posted there it was "a-s-h-o-k" :D I don't care if someone post a better howto after reading what I post! All I ask for was a link back to the original... As for PowerPoint, yea we think we have a work around for this, but it was "christoff" who found the work around so he is going to be the one to post a update with everything he has come across. Just give him a day or two to test everything and write it up.... Oh, and about Linux being free and we should share our ideas... I never once have came across where a decent Linux user went around stealing other peoples ideas and then called them there own. I would only suspect that everything else on that blog came from someone else and was re branded as a original thought. This isn't how Linux got to where it is today! twickline, thanks a million. I got Word and Excel to work, and after medo's comment with winetricks, I got powerpoint to work as well. Maybe you should include his winetricks comment in your tutorial... So, all that's left is outlook, but that's not a major problem for me at the moment. It works, woo! I really appreciate your hard work. And your rather frequent postings here as well. Keep up the good work! =) @medo: THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I use powerpoint on a day to day basis and have gotten so sick of OO Presentation... You must made my night! And again, thanks so much to all the people working hard on wine. gnu/linux is not just an operating system, its a community, its a philosophy, its a way of life. maybe i sound a bit cheesy, but i do think this is true and important. twickline, this might just be me, but I did a little testing. I know you said there were bugs and I'm sure you're aware of this one, but I guess it never hurts to post. In Word,Powerpoint, doesn't really matter which program, when I try to insert a picture, it start to act really weird and gives me this error in the console: fixme:shell:SHGetFileInfoW SHGFI_OVERLAYINDEX unhandled fixme:shell:SHGetFileInfoW SHGFI_OVERLAYINDEX unhandled etc. Until I click cancel in office. Is this me? is this one of the big bugs? or is there a solution already? once again, thanks for the good work. hmm, when you have that strange flickering menu when inserting a picture, just click the 'views' button(in that insert picture window) press any view. and it'll work. Strange... Office 2007 update! anybody noticed that bullets and marks does not work with word? Ive been trying to change fonts but not seems to work. any advice??? Yes, I am having the same problem with the bullets... Don't seem to be working. I can't seem to get any of the applications to work. I'm getting the following when running WINWORD.exe: I've been searching for a solution everywhere. The runtime was installed by the Office installer, but for some reason it's not finding it. Perhaps it's not registered for some reason? I installed as "Vista" and regardless of the OS type I try (Vista, XP, etc.) they all yield the same result. Installing the Visual C++ 2005, 2005 SP1 and 2008 runtimes don't help either. Anyone got any ideas? @ charles I have not installed office 2007 (yet?..), but I have installed photoshop which also had font problems. To resolve this I installed msttcorefonts. This might be your solution too? can i install using an .exe file instead of cd? "...and set msxml3.dll and rpcrt4.dll to "native windows" select save and exit." What does this mean? I can't find that option anywhere in the wine settings window. How do I do this? Thanks alot! winecfg forget that last post... I'm just a retard and accidently skipped a step :) I am however stuck on getting the cd key typed in. Having the same problem as above, but trying to get richedit30 installed and see if that helps. @Anonymous: go to winecfg like twickline said. Select the Libraries tab. Select a file from the New library for override drop down menu. Click edit and change them to Native (windows). I hear some people say that they cannot save file in Word. Do you meet this problem, twickline? This confusion stops me installing office in wine, though I have downloaded all the necessary software. I had a little problem with the CD Key input as well, but then I noticed that the problem was when I copied the key into the space. When I used ctrl+v to paste, the code got messed up and left out some of the characters. To get around this, I just entered the CD Key by hand and the next button "un-greyed" and I continued normally. Hope this helps! Hello! First of all, thanks for your work here! I've got a problem - I can't really get office12 start install. wine setup.exe finishes with an information: (...)0b0000, 1, (nil)) not fully implemented fixme:ntdll:NtPowerInformation Unimplemented NtPowerInformation action: 11 fixme:powrprof:DllMain (0x7e0b0000, 0, (nil)) not fully implemented fixme:netapi32:NetGetJoinInformation Stub (null) 0x34fc84 0x34fc78 fixme:advapi:CheckTokenMembership ((nil) 0x12cbb0 0x34fc60) stub! fixme:advapi:CheckTokenMembership ((nil) 0x12cbb0 0x34fc60) stub!

PERF: TickCount=21345 Name=RunSetup Description=End function Please advise how to make it work. Best regards jarjar Did anyone have luck solving the bullets and marks problem? they doesn't work at all in word. In powerpoint you can only see the bullet in the first line. I've been trying to install Office 2007 using the provided guide for several days now. If I follow the exact same steps from the guide the installation doesn't even start. There is an error message that wants to send a report to Mircosoft... If in addition I install msi2 (using winetricks) I can run the setup and then I get to the file copying part and at that point it again crashes with an error. I tried installing msi3.1 but that didn't work out. It said that it can't find a disk to extract the files to. I unpacked the installation manually and put the .dll files from the package in the system32 folder. I also configured these as native libraries in winecfg. This time setup doesn't crash when copying files but doesn't do any progress either. I didn't see anyone else that complains about not even being able to install Office. So I am wondering if there is some particular problem with my system. I am running Ubuntu 7.10 on my laptop: 1.6Ghz AMD Turion, 2GB ram. What could be the problem? Anything else I might try? -> dimitar I suppose you havn't noticed my post, it seems we've got similar problem.

C. This is a very cool guide, but, I have some issues on the installation process, but I dont mind though I'm still trying to make it work on my PC Thanx in advance!! It works for me. Thanks Has anyone figured out how to fix the bullets problems? I'm thinking it may be a font problem (some fonts aren't installed or something). I don't know how to install fonts in wine, so I cant test this. Anyone who knows how, can you try it? Hi, I get a similar issue as jarjar. running kubuntu with 0.9.59, have installed msxml3 and copied the cxgames dll. Also set the overrides.

As you can see I'm running from an iso, I did mount with unhide if it matters. Any help appreciated. Regards, Ashley Hi jarjar, I managed to get a bit further. Try the following: 1) Install the winbind package. 2) Install Windows Installer 3.1. You can download this from the MS website. If you can't install using the exe file, you can use cabextract to unpack the file. Then you must copy the dll files and msiexec.exe to your system32 folder and set those files to native in wincfg. I did that and now I get to the file copying process. Office creates a folder of ~500MB "MSO Cache" but then goes into some sort of loop. This is the output before it starts looping: fixme:ole:NdrCorrelationInitialize (0x7df99754, 0x7df99354,754): stub fixme:ole:NdrCorrelationInitialize (0x7df99778, 0x7df99378,778): stub fixme:sfc:SfcIsKeyProtected ((nil), (null)) stub wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000003 at address 0x3 (thread 001a), starting debugger...

After this there is the register dump and stack dump and finally this line just keeps on popping: fixme:xrender:X11DRV_AlphaBlend not a dibsection Any ideas, anyone ?! dimitar, you are not alone!!! I am facing the same issue... I too have an amd turion processor... I think that is likely part of our problem... The main difference between what you posted and what I experience is I get a dialog that says "cannot find Office.en-us/setup.xml"... It gives me a directory listing to choose where to install from... I have the install cd mounted to /media/cdrom0 and it has the missing file, but after I pick the directory setup exits and gives a microsoft "send error report" dialog... as much fun as it might be to spam microsoft with error reports, I don't think that will help us... I think there must be an issue with either the 64 bit version of wine, or the version of Office 2007... I have been trying with the Enterprise version of Office, and wonder if I might have more success with the professional version... Well I hope one of us or anyone else figures this out... P.S. I used to get that same line popping in an endless loop like what you are experiencing, but now i get that error report... (not sure why) Hi everyone, got it working after a few tries and additions to wine. One bump though - when I use Powerpoint 2007, objects don't redraw in real time. So when I want to, say, move something around, the object disappears after clicking on it and appears only upon releasing the button. The gray slim rectangle (width of the slide window, about 10px heigth) appears in the meantime. I played around with turning Compiz on / off, as well as different wine graphics setup - no luck. Anyone sees the same thing, or is it just me? Any guesses how to fix it, or what to test? Thank you! Has anyone tested to see if the drawing functionality in OneNote 2007 works? This is the only thing stoping me from converting my tablet to Linux. Not to be completely redundant here, but has anybody figured out the bullets and numbering problems? I constantly generate documents with lists and numbered sections. For me this is a big issue. Hope someone has figured it out. Thanks! Hey, Onenote 2007 does absolutely everything I've tested except the ink tool. I've been trying to figure it out without much luck. It doesn't like wine's ole/DCOM thingy. Most of the bugs in Onenote fix by making inkobj and gdiplus native, then putting them in the right places. On the plus side, I used Onenote in wine to view all my notes during exam season, and have taken a couple bio notes with it. I haven't used my dualboot in months now. Thanks for the guide. I have Office up and running but am having two issues. 1) The fonts in Word are all bold, all the time. 2) If I run a powerpoint presentation, I cannot advance to the next slide (animations on the current slide do work). I tried to upgrade wine, but the update manager gave me v. 1.0-RC1 and none of the programs would open (went back to 0.9.59). Any thoughts/suggestions? lemme start off by saying Twickline you kick @$$! way to go dude excellent work! in ubuntu gutsy gibbon running wine 0.9.58 office 2007 enterprise installs perfectly, the bullets work! yes! they do! i had msxml 3 installed net framework 2 also i beleive.. but however powerpoint didnt work now though in hardy heron fresh install. running 0.9.58 wine version (made for hardy--google search it or ask me for a link) (since the other versions dont work as good. (esp. the rev1, 0.9.61, and 0.9.59 (partially)) the bullets do not work. but suprisingly powerpoint works no problemo! so does onenote.. even though it has that initial crash. i believe the bullets may have to do something with winetricks and their mstt core fonts stuff. i heard it caused problems in net framework for some reason. will investigate and see if it works now with the new winetricks revision. Thanks Billi_Shere, Let me say readers like yourself Kick @SS as well... Yea as it looks 0.9.60 and forwards cause problems, one would think a 1.0 release would be more stable.. but with each relase Office 2007 support gets WORSE! and this really sucks, big time. ok here we go. this is when running wine 0.9.58 in hardy heron. i fire up terminal and i type in winword. I have narrowed down that cause of no bullets appearing to two lines in my terminal. when i make a bullet, these lines pop up specifically. fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 4132 (SPI_GETDROPSHADOW) and then this: fixme:xrender:X11DRV_AlphaBlend not a dibsection dropshadows? X11drv? alphablend..this seems to be the problem. now i dont know much but this seems to be a xrender/driver issue maybe. i do have xrender installed in synaptic. disabling hardware rendering under the d3d subsection in wine configuration does not work. bullets work fine for me under gutsy even though i'm running the same 0.9.58 version of wine (i installed it in gutsy and hardy in the exact same manner twickline described above except for running the installer as under vista). I do not see these errors/lines when running winword from the terminal in gutsy. So i guess you gotta use gutsy to have a chance of geting bullets to work in word... btw if anybody is having problems with times new roman being displayed bold all the time. install allfonts (along with richedit20,30) using the newest release of winetricks. It fixed the problem for me flawlessly! :) my temporary fix for the bullets is to insert a symbol like this one: • it works perfectly fine and does show up (just dont tab it). YES YES YES THERE IS A FIX FOR THE BULLETS EVERYONE!! thanks to andrew who figured this out: After looking around i saw how easy it was to make the bullets and numbering work in office 2007 word. click the office button, go into word options, then into language settings. All i had to do was remove all of them except for English, U.S. I left spanish in there too and it doesn't hurt. So if you're not in any need of these you can take them out and hopefully it will work for you. after you have removed them, close out of word and start it back up again. check your bullets. this is all it took for me, hopefully the same for you. if they are still not working, you could try going into the advanced menu and selecting "use normal style for bulleted or numbered lists". Whoo Hoo.... Thanks Billi_Shere !!! Here is the App DB link again: Wine App DB Microsoft Office 2007 Thanks billi_sherre. That solves a lot of problems. I also downgraded to 0.9.58 and that seems to have made things more stable in general. Is anyone else having trouble advancing between slides in a powerpoint presentation? Also having problems advancing powerpoint slides...using Ubuntu 8.04 and Wine 0.9.59...Excel is buggy, font changes iffy, text boxes don't work, and moving charts causes screen to black during movement...I guess it's still a work-in-progress... For those with the error fixme:xrender:X11DRV_AlphaBlend not a dibsection when installing, installing the winbind package seemed to help out. In Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install winbind Hey! Great Tutorial! What about the Formula Editor? Is it working? This part is such a great peace of software! hi im using ubuntu 8.04 and i installed office, but when i start it i get the follwing error message: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address (nil). Do you wish to debug? [yes] [no] when i click either one nothing happens After following these instructions on Hardy Heron (64 bit) (modified to only install OneNote 2007), the install works fine.

OK, my comment was poorly thought out on multiple levels. I guess what I'm trying to say is the US has a history of destructive actions around the world for which we haven't faced the full consequences. We currently have a dysfunctional federal government that has not adequately responded to the current covid situation even though we had months of warning. Do you think it is in our best interest to pursue revenge when it might open us up to a precedent of increased liability for some future event? China has already paid an incredibly high cost for their initial reaction. Would trying to extract more really be beneficial for us in the long term.

?” Gale, 41, and husband Craig, 34, discovered Elliot’s condition when he had trouble feeding as a baby. Angelman syndrome was identified in 1965 by Dr Harry Angelman, a paediatrician working in Warrington, Cheshire. The condition means Elliot will never be able to talk and may not be able to walk either. Gail said: “Elliot will never be able to speak, but we’ve done a signing course in the hope that we’ll still be able to communicate with him. “It must be frustrating for him because he can understand what we say, but he can’t respond. “A lot of children with Angelman syndrome communicate using iPads so we’re saving up for one. The youngster shares the condition with Hollywood actor Colin Farrell’s son James, nine, who is also stricken with the genetic condition.

Koki Nagai is a team mechanic for Giancarlo Ferretti’s Fassa Bortolo squad. He was born in Japan in 1972, and spent several years racing there, while learning how to twist his own wrenches. His love of the sport led him to Italy, where he found his big chance with the Riso Scotti team in 1998. Almost 5 years later, he’s earned a permanent spot with Ferron’s teams, and he took time to talk with our Michele Tomasi. >1. How did you arrive in the cycling world? KN – When I was 14 years old, I saw on Tv a program about Tour de France, 1985. After that, I wanted to do this sport. >2. When did you understand that you’re career as cyclist were going to finish? And how did you become mechanic? KN – My passion about the job as mechanic started when I was 15 years old, but at the same time, I wanted to become a rider. Year by year I wanted to become a rider, but I knew that I should come in Europe to improve myself but at the same time, the job as mechanic was good. When I was older, and it was getting late for my career as rider, so I chose to become a mechanic. >3. How did you arrive in Italy? Did you have difficulty with the language? KN – I arrived by airplane! I’m joking! I knew a public relations for the sponsor “Riso Scotti”. I asked him for a contact into any professional team, so I arrived in Italy. About Italian language, of course I had a lot of problems. I didn’t know even how to say “screwdriver”! Before to came here I studied a little, but I was worse than a child. I guess that also my teammates had a lot of problems understanding me. I must say thanks to them. >4. Where do you live and how did you do with your family? KN – Now I live in Lugo di Ravenna (Emilia Romagna), near the head office and warehouse of Fassa Bortolo. I’ve my wife with me, but sometimes she returns in Japan because I’m often away for the races, so she’s ever alone. Of course we miss each other very much. >5. You arrived from a country where cycling isn’t as popular a sport. How did European cycling seem to your eyes? KN – There are a lot of differences between European cycling and Japanese cycling. For example, the mentality of the rider, the tactics, making a team, how to make a race, massage, and many other things. Also about culture – not only the races. I wanted to see these things with my eyes. >6. If you weren’t working in cycling, what would you like to do? KN – It’s too difficult for me this question….I’ve really no idea. I never thought at this. >7. Do you have a favourite rider of the past or the present? And what about team managers? KN – Mine was Bernard Hinault. I started to watch this sport and follow it because I saw him winning the Tour de France. About team managers, Giancarlo Ferretti for sure. I will stay always with him. >8. This year you’ve been working with Fassa Bortolo at Tour de France. Did it happen any curious trouble? How did you live the white jersey of Ivan Basso into the team? KN – At the Tour de France we ran well, without problems. But in the last stage, we were running late to catch an airplane. So, when we were going at the Hotel because the riders needed to take a shower, in a bypass, we lost a bike! It fell from the luggage rack. It was a big shock for us mechanics of Fassa! >8.5How was it having the white jersey of Ivan Basso in the team? Ivan Basso has been really good, but we didn’t run well as a team. Because we didn’t win a stage and there wasn’t any of our riders in the first 10. >9. How important are the technical support guys? How much are they worth in a victory? KN – Of course mechanics and riders must work as best they can. We are professional. But it’s more important to have fun with our job. And of course, the victories help us to work better, and with the sponsor too. And also the other riders start to feel stronger. >10. Is there a race where the mechanics have a lot of problems? KN – Paris – Roubaix and Tour de Flanders, and also a stage of Vuelta de Espana as Alto de Angliru. >11. How is it a typical mechanic’s day? And what about a race day? 8.00am – start to work on the bikes, wheels and all the materials that the riders need. 9.30am – go at the start of the race. 11.00am – the race starts. 4.00pm – the riders finish the race, we take the bikes and return to the hotels. 5.00pm – start the work on the bikes for the mechanics. 7.00pm – finish the work and we prepare for the dinner. 8.00pm – have our dinner. >12. How are you feeling in Fassa Bortolo? Which contract do you have? KN – It’s a great team and I’m feeling fine with them. We always do our best, and compared to some other teams, we’re the best team. It’s the merit of our spirit and of Ferron. We have 5 mechanics, all very goo, and our boss, Giancarlo Bianchi. He’s the best mechanic that I’ve ever known. About my contract, Ferron tells me, “you can stay as long as you want. Your place is always ready for you!”, I don’t want any other thing, I’m glad that he says this. >13. Is Ferron (Giancarlo Ferretti) really so demanding? How does he treat the mechanics and the riders? KN – He isn’t so demanding, but he is very serious about cycling and riders. And to me, he is a person who has heart. Almost for me it’s so. Sometimes he’s hard with the riders, but he has more “eye” than the others, he is ever more attentive than the others and thinks more than the others. And this is the way to command a strong team. Am I defending him too much? >14. How do you spend your free time? Do you still go out on your bike? KN – When I think about my free time I always think about doing a lot of things, but when I’ve got it, I spend it all by staying in bed. Also if there’s my wife, I try to stay with her. >15. Have you ever been in North America? KN – I’ve never been in America. If I’ll have the chance, I’d like to go in a place where there’s cycling, for example Colorado….anyway in a town where the peoples go on their bikes. >16. Cycling is gaining in popularity in North America, what do you think can be done to make it even more popular here and around the world? KN – I’ve really no idea. But I shall present this sport to peoples who don’t know it, for example, kids, guys, women….give them my experience. >17. Do you have a personal website that our readers could visit? KN – Yes, it’s https://homepage1.nifty.com/koki2000/ but it’s only in Japanese. Vuelta Stage 19: It’s ibanesto.com again!

The X-duty trailer may look like traditional dry van equipment, but on the inside it's a different story. Outside-the-box thinking allowed appliance maker Electrolux to connect its inbound and outbound shipment needs in one innovative transport solution. Challenges: Fluctuating inbound flatbed trailer pricing and capacity; heavy, oversized raw materials; inefficient one-way moves. Goal: Reduce the impact of one-way inbound moves on transport costs by repurposing assets for outbound hauls. Approach: Blend inbound and outbound assets by creating a fully enclosed standard-sized flatbed/dry-van hybrid trailer capable of hauling inbound raw steel and outbound finished goods. Result: Eliminated deadheads; created more efficient loading and unloading processes; cost savings. When Nussbaum Trucking approached trailer manufacturer Wabash National with a straightforward yet speculatively wild question, it sparked a revolution in trailer innovation. The revolution began in 2009, when Nussbaum was running a dedicated flatbed operation out of Webster City, Iowa, for Swedish appliance maker Electrolux. The X-duty trailer is a practical innovation with applications beyond moving steel coils and appliances. Trailer manufacturer Wabash National had the future in mind when it embraced Nussbaum Trucking's idea for a heavy-duty flatbed/dry-van hybrid trailer and decided to run with it. "We recognized we could target different industries with this type of product," says Rod Ehrlich, chief technology officer, Wabash National. "It was a good investment, and not just amortized through Nussbaum's use." The trailer manufacturer is considering high-density cargo where it can capitalize on its investment. Paper manufacturing is one such industry, largely because there have been a number of well-publicized mishaps in which shippers tried to move product on unsuitable equipment. "Van trailers typically transport paper rolls vertically, and they're not secured very well," says Ehrlich. "If a paper roll falls over because it hasn't been properly secured, it takes the trailer with it. When stock is wider than the trailer is tall, you can't haul it." Laying a paper roll lengthwise, with the eye horizontal, however, lowers its center of gravity. Wabash discovered through experimentation that the X-duty's floor system is suitable for this application. Paper stock that has historically been shipped by rail can now move over the road with the X-duty trailer system. In addition, high-density, heavy equipment such as machining tools can also benefit from this type of hybrid equipment. "The beauty of shipments in a van trailer is securement, damage reduction, and cost savings," Ehrlich says. "Flatbeds only go one way."

Background: Hyperkalemia is a common electrolyte disorder in the emergency department, its presence is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The main causes reported are related to decreased excretion as in patients with impaired renal function and associated with drug intake. Our objectives were to know the prevalence, etiology, management, and outcomes in these patients. Methods: This is a retrospective and observational study. All adult patients admitted to the emergency department with a diagnosis of hyperkalemia from June 2018 to December 2019 were included. We identified 4 groups associated with the development of hyperkalemia: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) or decompensated Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), associated with drugs, inadequate dialysis, and others. Demographic data, comorbidities, home medications, clinical and laboratory findings at presentation, management, and patient outcomes were collected from these patients. Results: We included 175 patients; the prevalence of hyperkalemia was 2.1%. In 59% of the cases, hyperkalemia was attributed to AKI or decompensated CKD, 15% to inadequate hemodialysis, 18% associated with medications, and the remaining 8% to dehydration and gastrointestinal bleeding. The general mortality of patients admitted to the Emergency Department (ED) of our institution in the same study period was 7.5% and among the patients included in this study it was 17%. Conclusions. Mortality in patients admitted to the emergency department with hyperkalemia is higher. We found that those with drug-associated hyperkalemia and hyperkalemia attributed to AKI or decompensated CKD have a longer hospital stay and mortality than hyperkalemia associated with inadequate dialysis and dehydration. Hyperkalemia is one of the most common electrolyte disorders in the Emergency Department (ED) and is associated with life-threatening cardiac dysrhythmias and arrest, which significantly increase morbidity and all-cause mortality [1]. This term refers to an elevation in potassium concentration; although there is no universal cut-off point to define hyperkalemia, the term is used when the Serum Potassium (SK) concentration is >5 to 5.5 mmol/L [2,3]. Hyperkalemia usually develops due to increased intake or administration, decreased excretion, or to a shift of potassium from the intracellular to the extracellular compartment [3]. It is less frequent in patients with normal renal function; however, its incidence increases with impaired kidney function [4]. The main risk factors for its development are worsening kidney function, the presence of comorbidities such as Diabetes Mellitus (DM), Chronic Heart Failure (CHF), Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), among others [3,5]. In addition, many drugs induce hyperkalemia, such as mineralocorticoid antagonists, β-blockers, antibiotics, antifungals, and particularly Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) inhibitors [1,3]. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, main etiology, management, and outcomes of patients with hyperkalemia in the ED of a tertiary care hospital in Mexico City. This is a single-center, retrospective, and observational study performed at the Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición Salvador Zubirán in Mexico City. The study was approved by the local Human Research and Ethics Boards (reference NMM-4000-21-22-1). All adult patients admitted to the ED with a diagnosis of hyperkalemia from June 2018 to December 2019 were included. We excluded patients who were transferred to another hospital or with incomplete data. All data was obtained from an electronic medical record and followed up to their discharge. The collected variables included demographic data, comorbidities, home medications, clinical and laboratories findings at presentation, management, and patient outcomes. Hyperkalemia was defined as a SK concentration >5.0 mmol/L. Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) was defined and staged according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria [6]. Baseline Serum Creatinine (SCr) was defined as the mean SCr in the previous 6 months before hospitalization, or the minimum SCr value during hospitalization if previous values were unavailable [7]. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) was defined by the KDIGO CKD guidelines based on previously documented findings or during evaluation in the ED [8]. The eGFR was calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Collaboration creatinine equation [9]. For continuous variables, their distribution was assessed by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Descriptive statistics are expressed as number (percentage), median (interquartile range) or mean (standard deviation) as appropriate. Baseline characteristics of patients among those with AKI or decompensated CKD and associated with medications were analyzed using U-Mann-Whitney. Chi-square or Fisher’s exact test was used for categorical variables. All statistical tests were two-sided, and a p-value below 0.05 was considered statistically significant. All analyses were performed using SPSS 24.0 (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA). From June 1st, 2018, to December 31st, 2019, a total of 8,342 patients were admitted to our Institution in the ED. Among them, 175 patients (2.1%) were admitted to the ED with the diagnosis of and hyperkalemia (Figure 1). The baseline characteristics of all the patients included in this study are provided in Table 1. In a total of 103 patients (59%), the cause of hyperkalemia was attributed to AKI or decompensated CKD, in 15% inadequate hemodialysis (HD), in 18% associated with medications, and the remaining 8% dehydration and gastrointestinal bleeding were attributed. Of the patients in the dehydration and gastrointestinal bleeding group, 87% of the patients rapidly improved their condition and were discharged [median length of hospital stay 2 days (1 to 3 days)]. All these patients received hydration treatment, and only 3 patients required intravenous administration of calcium gluconate and polarizing solution to manage hyperkalemia. Two patients in this group died (13%), both during a surgical procedure. Of the patients with inadequate HD, 69% received one extra HD session during the first 24 hours in ED and were discharged with modifications to their chronic HD schedule, [median length of hospitalization 1-day (1 to 3)]. In the remaining 8 patients, an infectious process was diagnosed and remained hospitalized in their chronic HD schedule. Two patients died of infectious complications. The other two phenotypes of hyperkalemia, with completely different behavior, were: attributed to AKI or decompensated CKD, and associated with medications. Of the total population studied, 103 (59%) patients had hyperkalemia associated with AKI or decompensated CKD. The median age in this group of patients was 65 (53-78) years, and 50% were male. The main comorbidities of these patients were: DM in 48%, systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) in 62%, CHF in 13%, liver cirrhosis in 17%, CKD KDIGO stage G3 or higher in 38%, and 49% had 3 or more comorbidities. On admission to the ED, the median SCr was 3.4 mg/dL (2.4-5.8), SK levels was 6.2 mmol/L (5.8-6.7), and 30% presented some alterations in the EKG. This was the group with the highest SK levels (p=<0.001). Forty-six percent of these patients were receiving different drugs associated with the development of hyperkalemia; however, renal function deterioration predominated, so they were categorized into this phenotype (Table 2).The causes of hospitalization among patients who had impaired renal function were: infectious in 37%, dehydration associated with gastrointestinal losses in 16%, gastrointestinal bleeding in 7%, acute myocardial infarction in 4%, diabetic ketoacidosis in 3%, and the rest attributed to progression of kidney disease. The main treatments used in these patients were: calcium gluconate in 45%, polarizing solution (glucose plus insulin) in 41%, sodium bicarbonate in 21%, and finally, 7 patients (8%) required initiation of HD. This hyperkalemia phenotype in patients with impaired renal function presented mortality of 20%, this outcome was related to infectious and cardiovascular complications. Of the total population, 31 (30%) patients had hyperkalemia associated with drug use. The median age in this group was 64 (53-75) years, and 45% were male. The main comorbidities of these patients were: DM and SAH in 65%, CHF in 16%, liver cirrhosis in 32%, kidney transplant in 6%, and 52% had 3 or more comorbidities. On admission to the ED, the median SCr was 1.6 mg/dL (1.1-2.4), SK levels was 5.6 mmol/L (5.3-6.0), and only 13% presented some alterations in the EKG. presented persistent hyperkalemia and started HD. The mortality of these patients was 13%, all these patients died of infectious complications related to decompensation of their comorbidities (diabetic foot ulcer and soft tissue infection, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, among others). Twenty-seven percent of our study population had EKG abnormalities consistent with hyperkalemia. We looked for an association of these with serum potassium levels, dividing the population into those with serum potassium <6 mmol/L and ≥6 mmol/L. In the first group, 79 patients were found and only 6% of them presented EKG alterations compatible with hyperkalemia. In this group of patients, there was one death that occurred 9 days after hospital admission and was associated with infectious complications. Ninety-six patients had potassium equal to or greater than 6mmol/L and 45% had EKG abnormalities. In this group there were 4 deaths that occurred in the first 48 hours of admission. All these patients had potassium levels > 6.5mmol/L. The days of hospital stay in the ED were different between the two commented phenotypes, patients with hyperkalemia secondary to deterioration of renal function were longer than secondary to drugs (p=0.009). However, on the days of total hospital stay, discharge or death, no differences were observed (Table 2). The survival at 7 days seems to be worse in those who presented deterioration in renal function (Figure 2), although no statistical difference was observed. At hospital discharge, a total of 25 patients (14%) underwent a change in treatment, predominantly the withdrawal of drugs related to RAAS 64%. The prevalence of hyperkalemia there is depending on the cut-off value used and the population studied. In the general population, a cut-off value greater than 5 mEq/L has been described in 1.5% and even reaches >6% among those patients with CHF and CKD [10]. In this study we observed a prevalence of 2.1% in the analyzed period. In our study, as it was a tertiary care center, all patients had at least one comorbidity, the most frequent being SAH, DM, CKD, ESRD, and cirrhosis, all of them independent risk factors for the development of hyperkalemia [5,11,12]. In addition, many of these patients were receiving drugs potentially associated with hyperkalemia, such as RAAS inhibitors, beta-blockers, NSAIDs, mineralocorticoid inhibitors, antibiotics, among others. According to the mechanisms associated with the development of hyperkalemia, we divide the population into the following groups: AKI or decompensated CKD, inadequate HD, associated with medications, and others. In this last group, dehydration prevailed as a cause of hyperkalemia. The most patients with inadequate HD received and extra HD therapy in ED and were discharged without any complications. However, those with impaired renal function were the patients with the highest severity and length of hospital stay. Of those associated with the use of medications, hyperkalemia resolved rapidly with the suspension of the medication, only 4 presented mild deterioration in renal function with subsequent improvement, relevantly they had a shorter stay in the ED (p= 0.009) and were discharged, although the length of hospital stay was not different compared to those with impaired eGFR, this was attributed to the fact that 17 of these patients required a longer stay due to infectious diseases. On admission to the ED, hyperkalemia-related EKG abnormalities were detected in 48 patients (27%), in other series, alterations in the EKG have been reported in around 50% [13]. We consider that our low detection of alterations may be due to the absence of reports of non-classical or minor alterations and, furthermore, it is recognized that patients with CKD or ESRD often do not present EKG alterations even with very high potassium values. Ninety-seven (55%) of our patients, based on serum potassium levels and regardless of EKG findings, received at least one of the widely used treatments for hyperkalemia [2,3,14]. It’s important to point out that in this series, 25 patients changed their course of treatment because they considered the former was the cause of hyperkalemia, with the most frequent being elimination the use of RAAS inhibitors. Previous reports have documented that their suspension is associated with increased morbidity and mortality [15-18], which makes it imperative to establish some prevention measures or chronic treatment for the hyperkalemia in the future. The mortality of the patients admitted to the ED in our institution in the same study period was 7.5% and among the patients included in this study it was 17%. However, given the nature of the study, this mortality cannot be attributed to this single factor, we consider that this population could probably present greater severity. Our main limitation is the retrospective nature of the study, in addition, these data only reflect the type of patients treated at our institution. In the future, these data could guide preventive measures, especially in those patients with known deterioration in renal function and those on chronic replacement therapy. We found worse outcomes in the phenotypes of hyperkalemia associated with the use of medications and that attributed to an alteration in renal function, which could reflect a more serious condition of the patients. Patients with inadequate HD and hyperkalemia associated with dehydration due to gastrointestinal losses predominantly had short hospital stays and discharge.

Everybody knows that Chris Stapleton is one of the best things to ever happen to country music, but if you’ve ever seen Chris live, you’ve undoubtedly seen his wife on stage right next to him. As a songwriter and an exceptional vocalist in her own right, Morgane has penned songs for Carrie Underwood, Alan Jackson, Reba and more, and offered up her angelic voice as a background vocalist for Carrie Underwood, Trace Adkins, Dierks Bentley and more. And while she’s usually singing harmonies with Chris, Morgane was front and center for this old performance of “Stop Cheatin’ On Me,” a song she wrote that was eventually cut by Kellie Pickler. And all I can say is DAMN. If Morgane happens to take over the lead vocals during a song or two on this next Chris Stapleton album, I would not be mad at it. Here’s the recorded version from Kellie and Morgane.

Quick Description: This two-story bank was typical of banks in New Zealand during this period. The main floor was for financial transactions, while the upper floor was where the bank manager's family lived. Meanwhile servants were in the basement. This imposing structure was built during the boom period for Oamaru. The Bank of New South Wales building was typical of the era with the bank manager's residence on top, the financial transactions on the main, and, in the case, the servants in the basement. Built by local architect Robert Lawson, this building has proved it worth of time.

MEE Staff Middle East Monitor / December 29, 2020 Provocative move taken when most Palestinians in Israel and East Jerusalem are restricted from travelling to holy site. Dozens of Jewish settlers entered Al-Aqsa compound on Tuesday in occupied East Jerusalem, despite restrictions of movement Israel is enforcing as part of a third Covid-19 lockdown. Settlers toured the Al-Aqsa compound accompanied by Israeli police, entering from the Moroccan Gate near the Western Wall and leaving from Al-Silsila Gate. Yet Israelis are ostensibly supposed to stray no more than 1,000 metres from their homes due to the lockdown imposed on Monday. Around 4,000 Jewish Israelis live in Jerusalem’s Old City, however it is commonly settlers from the occupied West Bank that occasionally tour the Al-Aqsa compound, to the displeasure of Palestinian and Jordanian authorities running the site. According to local media, Issam Nagiub, a guard working for Al-Awqaf, an Islamic trust that administers the site, was arrested at the same time by Israeli military police. It was not immediately clear why he was arrested. Recently, Palestinians’ entry to the Al-Aqsa compound has been restricted due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Early in December, Israeli authorities installed loudspeakers around the site to announce guidelines in Hebrew and Arabic to Palestinian worshippers, asking them to stick to social distancing. The compound was closed all together in March for 69 days, when the pandemic hit the city, reopening on 31 May. Jewish settlers regularly enter Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and tour around the Dome of the Rock, a shrine built in the 7th century by the Syrian Umayyad Empire. Despite the status quo agreed by Israeli, Palestinian and Jordanian authorities, which dictates that Jewish prayer on the site is forbidden, settlers often pray there. Jews believe the Al-Aqsa compound is the site of the Second Jewish Temple, which was destroyed by the Romans in the 1st century. Israeli far-right activists have repeatedly pushed for an increased Jewish presence at the site, with some calling for the construction of a Third Jewish Temple and the destruction of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock. Al-Aqsa Mosque is one of the holiest sites in Islam. It was also Islam’s first Qibla, the direction towards which Muslims must turn to pray, before that was changed to Mecca. Covid-19 in Israel On Monday, Israel entered its third lockdown, as cases rise and fears increase over a particularly infectious strain originating in the UK. Though schools remain open, commercial activities have been shut and entry of foreigners to the country severely limited. Israel has reported more than 400,000 Covid-19 cases and 3,256 deaths since the pandemic hit the country in March. Netanyahu received a Covid-19 vaccine jab last week, kicking off a national rollout in the coming days. But the massive vaccination campaign, said to be the biggest in Israel’s history and titled “Give a Shoulder”, will not include millions of Palestinians living under Israeli occupation, despite a recent sharp rise in cases and deaths.

It’s 10:15 a.m. when the coffee kicks in. I look at the floors. I have to run the vacuum cleaner over them, even though I ran it at 6 last night and they’re clean. The bathroom’s white tile floor will need the most work. I’ll vacuum it once to pick up each speck that six dogs and three people track into the room. Then I’ll go over it again. And then I’ll get on my hands and knees and clean each tile with a disinfectant wipe, even though I did it yesterday. I’ll use several wipes, even though I cleaned the floor last night. I’ll open the windows and close the door to make sure a whiff of the wipers doesn’t whisper into the rest of the house. When the coffee kicks in, I’m sitting at my desk and see dust on the office furniture, so I add cleaning it to the day’s must-do list. I’ll have to empty every shelf and clear every surface, wiping them down with spray cleaner and a paper towel. Then I’ll have to polish it, just in case I left behind any streaks from the spray cleaner. "For my part, I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of stars makes me dream," Vincent van Gogh said. Stars don’t make me dream as much as they remind me how amazing the universe is. Take starlight, for instance. Looking at starlight is like traveling back in time because, depending on a star’s distance from Earth, its light can take as little as four years to get here, or as many as 7,000. Think about it the next time you’re looking at the Big Dipper. Light from its closest star takes 79 years to reach Earth. For the farthest, it’s 123 years. When I’m stargazing, I can’t wrap my mind around the idea that I’m looking at slices of history. Still, we can make some sense of the night sky. Constellations help us see stars as groups rather than as scattered points of light. Last summer, I spent more time stargazing than I ever have, and I began trying to learn constellations I didn’t already know. Many people can recognize at least a couple. The Big Dipper is probably best known. This time of year, easy-to-spot Orion (the Hunter) dominates the south sky. I learn constellations by starting with ones I know and then trying to learn their neighbors. If a constellation has a bright star or distinct shape, it’s usually easy to figure out. Once you can pick out the Big Dipper and Little Dipper, for example, it’s easy to find Draco (the Dragon) snaking between them. Once you know Orion, it’s easy to spot Canis Major (the Great Dog) scampering at Orion’s heel. And after you use the brightest stars in Orion and Canis Major as guides to find the relatively obscure Canis Minor, you’ll be hooked. It’s a great way to relax. You may be content with lying back on a blanket or folding lounge, looking at the constellations and planets, and watching for satellites and shooting stars. Or maybe you’ll want to look for more: nebulas, star clusters and galaxies other than our Milky Way. To see them, though, you need a telescope. The most common advice for newbies is to buy a good beginner’s telescope instead of paying hundreds of dollars more for a better one, because it may turn out you won’t use it as much as you expect. With warmer spring weather coming—and, I hope, clearer skies—I just ordered a small telescope. It cost less than $140, including shipping. As I use it, I’ll be reminded of just how small our place in the universe is. But despite the smallness, we are still part of it. Owsley Stanley, a key figure in the West Coast countercultural movement in the 1960s, said, "We are all here by the grace of the big bang. We are all literally the stuff of the stars." Perhaps that’s why we look up at night—to be reassured that eventually, we’ll return to where we started and shine again. The outlook wasn’t brilliant down in Washington that day. The score stood three to nothing with one inning more to play. The Donald, mighty Donald, would soon get a turn at bat. And asked the catcher, “Did you sneak your way across the border? “I know you are a Mexican—a most unsavory man. He smashed a pitch and put it just inside the right-field line. The next man up was Spicer, who was batting next to last. You’ve never heard a ballplayer talk more loudly or so fast. His eyes bugged out, he ground his teeth, he snarled and he sneered. Spicer stepped and dug his cleats into the batter’s box. His turns at bat were always news—especially on Fox. Spicer hit a grounder and somehow the ball got through. Now Bannon stood on second and Spicer was safe too. When from the on-deck circle stepped Kellyanne Conway. Her first swing clipped the baseball, but it went flying foul. The pitcher threw a knuckleball, and Conway swung and missed. The fans began to mutter, “We don’t like the looks of this. Conway chopped the baseball right toward the pitcher’s feet. The pitcher tried to fire to first. Instead, his effort floated. It got there late. Conway was safe, and bases were now loaded. And up arose a mighty roar that sounded loud as thunder. For Donald, mighty Donald, was assured a turn at bat. And said, “This is a victory that I alone can win. “But all will watch in shock and awe at everything I do. “I know that we’re down three, but I inherited a mess. “What other batters would do now is lose the game, I guess. The Donald swung at the first pitch, but all he hit was air. He ran his little fingers through his oddly colored hair. The pitcher quickly threw again and Donald watched it go. “Strike two!” the umpired shouted out, and Donald shouted, “No! “Fake strike!” he hollered. “Phony ump—for sure your eyesight’s failing! “It’s all Bill Clinton’s fault!” he cried, all sputtering and wailing. And looped a flaccid pop fly high along the left field line. Where it was caught by a young boy, who grabbed it with his hand. The Donald stood there pouting in a raging consternation. And with an energetic wave, he shouted, “Come on over! The sports guy said to Donald, “What’s all this you talk about? The Donald said, “You loser! Did you watch the game at all? “I hit a winning homer high above the left-field wall. “On drugs or drink. A youngster caught that ball with just one hand. The writer turned and walked away. The Donald muttered, “Sad! There's a creek about a five-minute walk from my house that the state stocks with trout. I've fished in it just twice, longer ago than I can remember, so I decided to revisit it last week to see how much it has changed and whether it's worth fishing in again. Change: That's all streams do. Moving water cuts new channels, and old channels dry up. Trees, bushes and weeds fill the vacancies; often, it's hard to tell where the stream bed was. Once-deep pools fill with gravel and silt. And beaver dams can utterly change a stream's character. This is not, though, a post about fishing. It's a post about trying to purge the never-ending din of living out of my head, if but briefly. Walking along a woodland trout stream is hard work. Really. Growing trees line the banks; fallen trees need to be stepped over, making walking in a straight line impossible. I have to pick my way through, under and around low-hanging branches. Vines catch hold of boots, arresting steps, causing stumbles and falls. Many of those vines have thorns that will draw blood even before I can say "ouch!" When I don't wear a cap, branches scrape my bald head. Short-sleeved arms are left scratched and gashed. Fallen trees require a lot of stepping over. There are banks to climb, some of them steep. A tumble down them and a serious injury are a mere slip away. There's always the possibility of stepping unawares into a woodchuck hole and breaking an ankle or leg. Cell phone reception to call for help is spotty at best. In short, walking along a trout stream requires attention, caution and effort. The other day, my hundred-channels-of-noise brain quieted down to two channels. One was The Voice—the writer's voice. It's the voice that transcribes what I'm doing at the moment. It's almost always on. The second channel kept repeating a riff before the outro to the song "San Ber'dino" by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. That's about as quiet as my heads gets. The temperature was in the mid-60s, and I caught a couple of whiffs of the land waking up after winter. Just hints, though. The land is still sleeping off the cold. The first hundred yards of the creek revealed promise for holding fish after I read the water for a while. It's one thing to look at water flowing by; it's another thing to read it. To read a stream is to look at it, to look beneath the surface and figure out where fish are hiding by watching how and where the water moves. Once I worked my way upstream from that stretch, though, the water slowed down. It went silent. A silent stream holds no trout. Where the fish lurk, the water is always talking. The runs, the riffles, the splashes, the current sloshing against rocks—it's always there, speaking a language that says nothing and everything. Once the stream quit talking, I noticed the noise of passing cars and trucks on the well-traveled, nearby county road. I realized how much I was sweating, how many gashes the thorns had torn in my arm, how tired my legs were, how thirsty I was. The din of life's voices began to fill my head again. How I wish the water had kept talking. When I taught introductory newswriting at St. Bonaventure, I would ask students two questions about stories they had written: What’s new here? What’s different? Coverage of President Trump’s press conference last week reminded me of those questions. Reporters told us how contentious the event was, and Trump reprised his “fake news” complaints. This isn’t news anymore. So why was it part of the coverage? I am fighting to evict someone from a house in my head. The lease is with a guest long vanished, but the house’s contents remain intact. Inside lights have been dark for a year. Snow on steps is free of footmarks. Rain overflows leaf-clogged eaves. Newspapers flap against porch railings like trapped birds. Mail overflows the box. Sun will bleach siding, exposing its grain, and it will gnarl in rain. The roof will leak, warping floors. Pipes will burst. The furnace will die. The foundation will crumble; the house will list and fall. Rubble will tumble into the cellar, hidden by weeds and thriving vines. The house was mine, but the tenant ruined it. I’m sitting on the front porch. If you walk by and say hi, I’ll say hi. If you stop your walk to talk, we’ll talk. If you pass without looking, lost in thought, I’ll let you go. I won’t chase to say hey! C’mon back! Any U.S. senator who votes to confirm Betsy DeVos as secretary of education should be jammed into a burn barrel and launched into the Potomac River. DeVos is as qualified for the position as a paperboy is to dispose of nuclear waste at West Valley. Worse, she is foaming at the mouth for a chance to gut the American educational system to make way for profiteering at the expense of kids’ educations. Her defenders probably would support Miley Cyrus for the position had she been nominated. After all, Cyrus shakes things up! She’s an outsider! The best qualification is having no qualifications at all! It must be nice to have so much money that you can’t be sure where $200 million went. "I look forward to working with you to talk about how to address the needs of all parents and students, and we acknowledged today that not all schools are working for the students assigned to them. I am hopeful we can work together to find common ground in ways we can solve those issues and empower parents to make choices on behalf of their children that are right for them." Those 70 words contain as much substance as cotton candy. In Michigan, about 80 percent of the state’s charters are operated for profit, according to the New York Times. Who is going to stop profiteers from cutting costs for the sake of profits, shortchanging kids in the process? Here’s how charter schools should work: Every child in every school district should be selected for admission based on a lottery. Districts should be required provide transportation to those schools so poorer students can get there. In that system, let’s see what parents of the remaining students say about taxpayer dollars being diverted from public schools to charter schools. Then there’s DeVos’ love of the idea that parents should be given vouchers—public funds—so they can afford to send their children to private schools, especially ones that promote the conservative religious values she espouses. It’s all about student choice, she says. Here’s the choice parents should make: Choose to send your kids to a public school, or choose to find ways to afford sending them to private schools. Don’t ask taxpayers for handouts. As for church-affiliated schools, religious values should be taught to students at home or in churches. The government has no business spending money to promote those values. If the full Senate confirms DeVos, it will be an insult to students, parents, teachers and anyone who cares about public education. Instead, she should be considered for the post of secretary of the interior. After all, she seems to know something about bears. About a month ago, I got a Facebook friend request from a woman whose name sounded familiar. I couldn’t place it, though. The moment after I opened the request, but the instant before I saw her picture, I remembered: She was my first serious girlfriend from college. I hadn’t heard from her in more than 40 years. In that sliver of a second after recognizing her, I expected something to happen: a gasp, a surge of adrenaline, a quickened heartbeat. Instead, nothing happened. I was merely looking at a picture of a stranger whose name I knew. The not-feeling was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I don’t remember much about her. Our time together occurred decades ago, and my brain has long since jettisoned those memories. Here’s what I do remember: Unlike my friends and me, she didn’t get high or use other drugs. She didn’t drink to get drunk, and she didn’t smoke cigarettes. She was a David Bowie fan. We never fought. That’s all I’ve got. Here’s my take on Donald Trump’s press conference today. It’s not as well written or comprehensive as I would like it to be, which reflects how news is reported today: as quickly as possible, regardless of depth, context or polished prose. This took 31 minutes, which would not pass muster these days. I ran spell-check and then took just a quick read through it to look for typos and grammatical errors. The problem with the bam-bam-bam question strategy is that it allows the interview subject to answer the easier (or easiest) questions and then pivot away from the other two. The TV is still on in the other room, and Garrett is complaining that Trump didn’t address his question about Trump’s Nazi Germany tweet. Well, duh. The reporters also were unwilling to depart from their own lists of questions. Trump said several things that he should have been pressed on—how Congress will be able to replace the Affordable Care Act and replace it, in Trump’s words, “essentially simultaneously.” He called this “very complicated stuff,” and in my opinion, that’s a vast understatement, especially given that if the Republicans have a replacement plan ready to go, no one knows any details about it. Trump said the new plan will be “far less expensive and better.” I hope so, but I’m skeptical to the point of cynicism. For what it’s worth, the press conference took an hour between Trump’s opening remarks and the end of the press conference. He spoke for 10 minutes before taking questions. The first round of questions lasted 10 minutes, and then a lawyer from a legal firm Trump had hired spent 15 minutes explaining what Trump planned to do to remove himself as far from his business dealings as possible and to demonstrate he has no plans to benefit from the office of president. I couldn’t help but think that had he done this, say, a month ago, he could have gotten in front of the stories about conflict of interest, emollients, etc. ■ gave him a grade of C-minus on his tie knot. Very sad! ■ Trump said, “I have no dealings with Russia.” Seems to me I heard one of his sons say something to the contrary several weeks ago. ■ Most-interesting quotation: “If Putin likes Donald Trump, guess what, folks? That’s an asset, not a liability.” Putin is a dangerous man whose sole interest is creating discord in America to erode our political process. Trump needs to handle him the same way he’d handle a puff adder. ■ Trump said “the only ones who care about my tax returns” are reporters. I don’t think so. I’d like to see if he has financial ties with Russian companies. ■ Trump quotation that ranked a 10 out of 10 on the no-kidding scale: “Intelligence agencies are necessary and very, very important.” That didn’t stop him from suggesting earlier that those agencies were leaking to the media material that made him look bad. That’s all I’ve got. Other media outlets no doubt have different and more substantial reactions. Here's my latest column for our local newspaper. Dollar signs danced through my head after news last week about Megyn Kelly, Congressman Tom Reed and Obamacare. Let’s start with Kelly and her new NBC paycheck, with its eight figures to the left of the decimal point. Fox News wanted to keep Kelly so badly they reportedly offered her $20 million a year to stay. A Newsweek report pegged the offer at $25 million. According to the Wall Street Journal, Kelly was making $15 million in the final year of her contract with Fox, so let’s assume she’ll make $20 million a year at NBC, give or take a few million. Is Kelly worth it? She’s certainly worth it to NBC if she can do what network executives hope: increase ratings, particularly among viewers age 25-54. For broadcasters, that demographic is a mother lode of profit. Is she worth it because of her journalism skills? Certainly not. What do you imagine the combined annual salaries are for the 200 most recent Pulitzer Prize winners? Certainly nowhere near $20 million. It’s probably the same for the 200 most recent winners of the Peabody Award, which recognizes outstanding broadcast journalism. Those journalists, though, don’t have the name recognition Kelly does. Her profile skyrocketed after the Aug. 7 Republican presidential candidates debate, where she skewered Donald Trump for sexist remarks. In October, Kelly (a former trial lawyer) smacked down Newt Gingrich, who always comes across like he thinks he’s the smartest person in the room. As I said, I think Kelly is worth $20 million a year to NBC. After all, that’s what Matt Lauer, co-host of NBC’s Today show, makes—and no one will ever mistake Lauer for a journalist after his interview of Donald Trump in September. The Observer’s assessment of Kelly as a “celebrity news actress” may be harsh, but then again, her résumé is so thin that it’s transparent compared to that of, say, Christiane Amanpour. ■ Kelly hasn’t been the only interesting name in the news. Wednesday’s Times Herald featured a story about Congressman Tom Reed. I can’t believe Republicans will have an Obamacare replacement plan in place by then. After all, they haven’t come up with an alternative since the Affordable Care Act went into effect nearly seven years ago. Reed says making sure there’s a replacement is one of his priorities. Let’s watch to see what he does if his priority clashes with his party’s gung-ho repeal advocates. ■ As for the Republicans’ replacement for Obamacare, here’s a question: Five years into the plan, which do you think is more likely—tens of millions of Americans will have better, less-expensive health insurance than they have now, or the insurance and pharmaceutical industries will have made billions of dollars because of the new plan? I’m hoping for the first option, but consider this: According to OpenSecrets.org, a website run by the Center for Responsive Politics, the insurance industry spent more than $111 million on lobbying last year. The only industry to spend more was the pharmaceuticals/health products industry: $186 million. Something tells me the money isn’t being spent to ensure people without health insurance get the best coverage possible at the lowest possible cost. I think those industries have different priorities. I predict they’ll spend higher amounts on lobbying in 2017. The only question is how much more. If you've got a moment to kill from time to time, I'm channeling Donald Trump on Twitter: @Trump_ish. I went to a wedding reception at the Bartlett Country Club last weekend, and guess who showed up? Donald Trump. Not his groping, grabbing self in the flesh. Instead, it was the odor of his sexism. Many of the reception guests were college classmates of the bride and groom. They all took college courses from me and are now in their mid-20s. I’m 62, well past the age where I became sexually invisible to women. At least I used to think that way. Trump, being 70 and married, has cast a new, shady shadow on men my age, even those of us who have been part of decades-long marriages. She replied, “The guys do, too.” That’s when Trump’s misogyny wormed its way into my thoughts and made me wonder if she were tacitly saying I was spending too much time looking at the women in the bridal party, particularly her. That question was answered at the end of the night. In the meantime, I thought about how Trump’s words have strained interactions between men and women who are barely acquainted. Both sides have been harmed as a result of his words about his deeds. From others we have heard “why didn’t she report it before?” scorn and “she’s part of the conspiracy against Trump” paranoia. Trump’s accusers aren’t the only women under attack. All women are under attack every day. Consider the continual threats, catcalls, body contact, lewdness, leers, and dismissal and devaluation of their work. There’s a word for it: oppression. Because of it, women grow wary when they’re talking with men. If they’re wearing a skirt, they turn their legs to the side and cross them. They tense up if they think they’re showing too much cleavage, especially when they are seated and the men are standing. These seem to be instinctive postures. This is true not only of women I worked with for years, but also of students I worked with for just a semester. I know why they’re defensive: because men have peered up their skirts and down their blouses throughout their adult lives. Perhaps Trump’s “locker room banter” callousness and his seemingly unending disparagement of women have prompted more discussion about what women endure and what men should do in the face of it. If this is true, it’s the lone positive in all of this. Because of Trump, I can no longer simply focus just on what women are saying. I also have to think of how I can present myself so they won’t worry if I’m sitting there scoring their bodies on a scale of 1-10. I used to think my respect was self-evident. Given Trump’s well-publicized boorishness, I’m not so sure anymore. As for the woman in the bridal party whose remark unnerved me, she sat down in an empty chair next to me at the reception, and we talked about her many professional accomplishments since she graduated. Our cordial conversation cleared my mind of Trump’s sexist stench. Sadly, Trump’s not the only man with this foul aroma. The stench isn’t gone for good. I get a “Today’s Headlines” email every morning from the New York Times, and the subject line is the headline of the lead story. The way my email is set up, I don’t see the entire headline, just the first snippet of it, which often is cut off in mid-word. Tens of millions of Americans feel the same way about him.

I was cleaning out my son's closet the other day, and it came to my attention that he needs new pants. He's growing so fast, I can't keep up. Those of you have kids, know what I'm talking about. It seems like you buy them an outfit and two weeks later, they've out grown it. It's never ending and expensive. What I thought would be fun is if we swapped our kids clothes with each other. We all have kids of different ages, and I bet we could help each other out. If you are interested please leave me a comment with the sizes of clothes you have to offer and the size you need, and the sexes of your kids. I have a lot of dresses up for grabs right now, and they need a good home regardless if I get clothes in exchange. TJ Max, size 5, Never worn. Kohl's, size 6, runs a little smaller. I would love these to go to two families. There are six, so each family could have 3 each. Please email or leave a comment if you would like them. I don't have any boy clothes at this time, but will probably closer to Fall. My son is 7, he needs size 7 and 8 pants. He likes sweat style, or athletic with an elastic waist. No buttons, not a fan of buttons. Size 2 shoe. My daughter is almost 5, and wears a size 6 for pretty much everything. Size 12 shoe. Id be interested. I have a 4 yr old boy that wears 5t and a 17 yr old girl that has a range of sizes. We could create a page on our blogs with pics of clothes sizes etc. Very nice designer cloths, every girl kids would love to wear these pretty dresses and parents love to buy these kind of dresses for their kids. We know bear can wear all of Lo's clothes. But I would be willing to swap you Collin and Kloeys stuff for your kiddo's as well. This is a great idea girl, have everyone get it on swapping through the blogs! How fun! Great idea, hope your swapping went well. to an item online, so I'm trying to get live a Kids' Stuff Swap going.

I hate to sound like I'm adding insult to injury but it sure seemed a lot easier 20+ years ago. I answered a newspaper ad seeking cable modem support techs for an ISP. I was already more than familiar with computers since I had 1 as a kid, plus my old man had me help him build IBM PC clones n our basement. Anyway, the call center support gig taught me quite a bit then I slowly moved onward to helpdesk, deskside, &amp; etc. Damn shame it's still not as easy because I feel that everyone benefits from the ground up. You'll learn stuff the textbook doesn't offer.

Hello friend! This happened to me too. I'm 35 now, but my enjoyment of online competitive gaming (back in the day it was Quake 2, Quake 2 mod Rocket Arena, Starcraft, Command and Conquer, etc) just disappeared at some point, and now it's just stressful. That may have happened because some of the games I was good at also just disappeared. There are no games like Quake 2 Team Deathmatch or Quake 2 Rocket Arena anymore - they all have some garbage embellishment like Overwatch or Fortnite, or they're made to be more "realistic" like the Call of Duty games. I think one of the reasons is I know I'll never be as good as I was 20 years ago, no matter how much I practice. The reflexes of 15 and 20 years old people can't be matched by a 35 year old artifact. Another reason is I don't have the patience to play and lose as much as I would need to to "git gud" again. I'm glad you posted this! It's nice to know I'm not the only person this has happened to.

Straight away, Techtool Pro provides information about your Mac, its processor and connectivity options through the use of gauges. I can’t help but find the interface for Techtool Pro a little cumbersome. While these gauges are pretty, they don’t really serve any purpose as the numbers they report are fixed and aren’t going to vary yet a gauge does give the impression that these numbers might vary. Additional information about your Mac is also provided, including information gathered from the serial number (such as build location) and what storage is attached. Techtool Pro provides some basic information about your Mac as soon as it starts, along with a list of tests it can run. The main focus of Techtool Pro is with its range of tests that you can run on your Mac to ensure that both hardware and software are running well. Each individual test, from memory to graphics and, most importantly of all, your hard drive, can be run individually or you can run them all consecutively by using the Check Computer option. Tests are displayed, along with any live results while running. Each option is clearly described, both the purpose of the test and what it involves. The software is also smart enough to know if you have multiple hard drives attached and will automatically include additional tests for any external storage you may have connected. If Techtool Pro does find any issue with your Mac, it includes a comprehensive tool kit that can attempt to repair most software related issues. Obviously, if it finds any hardware issues then you’ll need to head to the nearest Apple Store pronto, but otherwise Techtool Pro may save you the bother if it is something that it can repair. Techtool Pro features some extensive tools, though they may only benefit advanced users and system administrators. The vast majority of tools it offers relate to the file system and data on your hard drive. While Disk Utility can perform similar tests and repairs, Techtool Pro includes far more in-depth options. There are options to defragment the hard drive and repair and rebuild the system volume. Over the years, Techtool Pro has helped me resurrect Macs that, due to a corrupt volume, would have only been repairable by wiping the hard drive and reinstalling Mac OS X. It isn’t just repairing and finding issues that it can do, Techtool Pro also offers some useful options such as whole disk cloning and, perhaps more useful, an option to create a bootable disk for your Mac should anything happen to your Mac’s default startup disk. This eDrive provides a fallback in case anything happens to your Mac’s bootable volume. Techtool Pro isn’t just about running periodic checks, a helper app is available that will always run in the background to provide a more proactive way of informing you about any potential issues. The helper can provide you with an alert once your Mac’s storage space drops below a certain amount and regularly back up your directory structure so that it can be restored if a software update goes wrong. There’s a helper app that is bundled with Techtool Pro that provides background checking and maintenance at all times. But, by far the best feature of this is its data recovery feature by way of something called Trash History — effectively a form of undelete. Once enabled, it will “remember” what you had in the Trash for a certain amount of time after it has been emptied so that if you realise a few days later that you inadvertently deleted an important document, Techtool Pro provides a way of restoring them. Using both Trash History and regularly backing up our directory structure allows Techtool Pro to potentially recover lost data. It’s far easier, and more advisable, to simply keep a working backup and data recovery services should never be relied upon, but it’s good to have the peace of mind that Techtool Pro is able to perform a salvage operation if your data is lost. Technicians, IT managers and server administrators will love the background features of Techtool Pro and, should you want to run it on a server, it includes the option to configure email notifications if any errors are detected. Hardware issues on a server are a very big deal and if you’re responsible for a number of Mac OS X servers then knowing about a problem before it becomes serious can potentially save you a lot of time and money. Techtool Pro is one of the most popular diagnostics and troubleshooting apps available for the Mac. Its wide range of features and ability to notify you of problems before things get too serious make it a great tool and a must-buy for technicians and system administrators alike. For the average Mac user, however, it’s need is far less compelling. With the introduction of Internet Recovery and OS X Recovery, a feature introduced with Mac OS X Lion to boot your Mac if it runs into trouble, Techtool Pro is probably overkill for your needs. A comprehensive diagnostic and troubleshooting app with some compelling features, though it's suited more to experienced Mac users and system administrators.

I have two friends with fibromyalgia and another that has lupus (but it took nearly a decade to figure this out). In all three cases they were doubted and made to feel like their problems must have been psychosomatic by various doctors and loved ones. I’m not excusing your husband (and certainly not your doctors!), but I will say his attitude does not make him extraordinarily callous, just normally so. That still sucks, but if he’s willing to make amends, I think you have a good chance of being able to move past this.

Realistic space habitats can get [pretty darned big indeed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McKendree_cylinder) if you really need some legroom to stretch out in. Though I would expect that the much more bite-sized O'Neill-scale stuff will be more efficient. I have no idea how big a colony ship would be, there's a lot of technological assumptions that have to be made and they can lead to drastically different results. Especially in the context of the Fermi paradox, where we're not just dealing with humans but could have all kinds of other biologies and psychologies to consider. Maybe even machine life without a biology to consider at all.

big time thanks to burger...... ed (aka burger) came by last night & worked his ass off helping me wire my bike up. we worked on it steadily from the time we got off work til 1 am; then both got up at 6am to come to work. he schooled me on the correct way to wire stuff so all my connections are crimped, soldered & shrink wrapped. he also brought over a bunch of wiring diagrams so we figured everything out pretty easily. i dont think either one of us were more stoked to see a head & tail light come on then we were last night. 1st try, the headlight, tail light, brake light & highbeam worked perfectly (thank god because we didnt have an ounce of energy left to work any longer). all thats left on the bike is to get the tins back from paint (which look sick as hell because i got a sneak peek earlier this week) and im waiting on a couple of little rear brake parts & ill probably be firing her up for the 1st time next weekend. im so stoked but pretty nervous about it at the same time. 3.5 months, a little more than $5k & about a million fucking hours working on it from the time i get out of work until i pass out, everyday or every other day. again, super big thanks to ed for working his ass off last night until 1 am helping me with the wiring. i wouldve been beating my head against the garage floor without his help. also, thanks to ed's very understanding wife & 2 little girls for letting me borrow him for so long. no problem at all. the alarm clock was a real motherfucker this morning, but outside of that it's all good! like i said last night, we should set up a weekly shop night. maybe we could tear down drew's honda engine next week. yeah dude, i actually had some scary dreams that you & i were wiring a giant building. i woke up totally tired of electrical stuff after doing the bike til late & then working on that goddamned building all night in my sleep! im all about a regular shop night. im down there almost every night anyhow. im all for helping drew get his ride together but he's got a lack of funds right now so somehow we have to figure out how to fix stuff for free, for now at least. I wish you guys lived near me! My bike needs a ground-up rewire job as well. I would persuade you with fine ales, tasty smoke, and beautiful womyns! Although the women wouldn't stick around for long since the dudes would be busy with man stuff...like wiring. With that kind of allure, you'd guys would be riding around Amish style.

The Morgans are whisked away to the state of Montana where they are housed by local U.S. Marshall Clay Wheeler (Sam Elliott) and his wife Emma (Mary Steenburgen). The vast majority of the humor is directed at the gun-toting, country music-loving “rubes” of small town America. It has an air of condescension that’s almost palpable. For such a lighthearted film, it’s decidedly mean-spirited. Of course, all of this could theoretically be overlooked if any of it were funny. None of it is. The film descends (if that’s possible) into a string of cringe-worthy jokes, most which were seem to have been lifted from chain emails. One joke is so old I heard a variation of it on the Jack Benny show. And, just for the record, I’m not kidding…the Jack Benny Show. Honest to God. The chemistry between Grant and Parker is non-existent. I guess I should give them some credit, they got the “couple-on-the-edge-of-divorce” part right. It’s the part where they fall back in love that’s hard to believe. And Grant doesn’t help the situation any by adopting a weird acting style in which he spends the bulk of his time on-screen avoiding eye contact with the other actors. If there’s anyone he shouldn’t look in the eye, it’s the audience. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being My Blue Heaven and 1 being Witless Protection, Did You Hear About the Morgans? gets a 3.

Honestly, in today’s world, finding a suitable hairdresser can almost be like searching for the Holy Grail. In this case, you cannot just choose someone who will simply cut your hair and charge you in accordance with it. You will need to consider their personal style, skillset, and know-how about the latest trends. Moreover, they will need to be someone who is fun to be around as well. Here are some factors that you will need to look for while selecting the ideal one from a sea of proficient men hairdressers. 1. Fun and Communicative The procedure of cutting hair does not really have to be a gloomy experience. Instead, it should be fun exciting, inventive, and communicative. Thus, to fulfill all these categories, you will need to find someone who can talk properly. Most of the efficient men hairdressers tend to ask a lot of questions while cutting your hair. It, in turn, helps them in understanding your choice, style, and the type of cut that would suit you. Moreover, they can, sometimes, also offer their take on your choice, which might prove to be beneficial for you. Also, be sure to look at how confident they are being while cutting someone’s hair. 2. Usage of Technique The skillful men hairdressers know the subtle differences between using a scissor and a trimmer to get a perfect haircut. For example, if you have a thinner hairline, then he/she might use the former to shape up the hairline. Conversely, trimmers are ideal for using on dense hairstyles. These are usually used for offering a higher level finish to thicker hair. Highly-skilled barber, can also give intricate styling to hair by using a razor. Hence, before you do opt for someone, you should always check on how they are cutting others’ hair. It should give you an idea of his/her overall proficiency and skill. 3. Attentive to Details The backside of your neck, as well as the neckline, is quite crucial regarding hairstyling. It might seem a bit ignorable but, if someone grooms it properly, then it can change your whole outlook. However, you cannot expect any of the men’s hairdressers out there to be on the lookout for such a minor detailing. It can only be done by a capable and adept individual. 4. Offers Advice Most people do not know anything about hair-care practices and modules. Due to this reason, they tend to lose their hair within their 40s’. However, choosing good men hairdressers can help you out in making your hair healthier and shiner While cutting your hair, they will use various authentic lotions and creams, which, in turn, can promote your hair growth. Moreover, they can also offer some tips that will help you in making your hair look a lot glossier and attractive. Additionally, they can also take care of your beard, hair, and eyebrows. All-in-all, you should choose someone who will be a one-stop solution for all of your hair-grooming. 5. Look for Reviews Most men hairdressers, these days, have their own website, where you can find the reviews of their former clients. With these reviews you will be able to understand more about their proficiency. Also, you might get some other additional details about them that might aid you in making your decision. Conclusion While opting for a new hairdresser, you should always be patient. They might not be able to suit up with your style the very first time. However, if you give them another chance, then they will surely succeed in the second. It will also help you to build up a decent relationship with the individual!

Robles, Edgar A. This tenth document of the PLAC Network Technical Assistance Document Series, entitled “Haiti pension system - Recommendations to improve the regulation”, provides general recommendations for the regulatory framework of the pension system in Haiti and tries to identify broad key policy options to improve the performance of the pension system. The policies are directed to strengthen and harmonize the rules of governance for the Office Nationale d'Assurance-Vieillesse (ONA), which covers private salaried workers, and the Plan de Retraite de l'Administration Publique (PRAP), to increase their capacity to manage risks, facilitate supervision of pension funds, improve sustainability, adequacy and equity, and establish guidelines for investments policies.

Amazon (s AMZN) announced Wednesday that it’s dropping the price of the 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD in the United States, and is also rolling out the tablet in Europe and Japan. The biggest price cut is for the 4G LTE Kindle Fire HD. The 32 GB version, which had been $499, gets a price drop to $399. The Wi-Fi-only version of the same tablet gets a price cut of $30 — to $269 for the 16 GB version and $299 for the 32 GB version. The 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD, which launched last September, is Amazon’s answer to the iPad (s AAPL). Amazon also launched a 7-inch Wi-Fi Kindle Fire HD, which starts at $199, last fall; that tablet, which is already available in Europe and Japan, is not getting a price cut. Dave Limp, VP of Kindle, claimed in a statement that “As we expand Kindle Fire HD 8.9” to Europe and Japan, we’ve been able to increase our production volumes and decrease our costs. Across our business at Amazon, whenever we are able to create cost efficiencies like this, we want to pass the savings along to our customers.” But the move may also be intended to help the Kindle Fire compete with the iPad Mini, which has a 7.9-inch screen and starts at $329. A previous version of this story stated that the 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD would cost ¥15,800 (USD $164) in Japan. That is the price of the 7-inch Kindle Fire HD in the country. When is the Kindle Fire with 4G being launches in the UK ? The €269 price in Germany includes 19% tax – this is most of the price difference to U.S.

In the case of AMC, the increases have been less spectacular than in the previous case, but there have also been strong increases in a few days, taking the price to exceed 20 dollars from 5 dollars.

Eloqua cofounder and CTO Steven (Steve) Woods wrote a book, Digital Body Language, that explores topics related to demand generation and the current transitions within the marketing profession. He has a great blog (really!) carrying the same name as his book. I asked him to share his thoughts about social media and content, and how, according to him, it fits in B2B marketing, marketing automation and lead management. Read how B2B marketing and the buyer are changing and how content and information plays a role in it. Update: Steven is now CTO at Nudge Social Selling. Marketers today are learning about a barrage of new concepts and techniques. Social media is clearly a topic that cannot be ignored, as messages are spread through ever-larger social networks with increasing speed. Marketing automation is being adopted at rapid pace, altering the way that marketers are able to define and deploy campaigns. Sales teams are increasingly becoming more aligned with their counterparts in marketing as the need to develop a lead management plan for the full lifecycle of a lead becomes an increasingly important strategic imperative. It may at first seem like these are three new tasks to add to an already overflowing task list that still includes the events, webinars, campaigns, and white papers that we have long used to promote our products and services. However, there is a transition happening that underlies all of these changes, and that makes these merely related aspects of the same marketing challenge. That transition is in access to information. Today’s buyers have access to more information on available products and services than any previous generation of buyers. This information is available through a wide variety of online sources, and is of course fully searchable through Google or Bing. This wide availability of information is driven by the fact that it is now free to create content that can be accessed by anyone in the world. Whereas historically, there had been a need to invest significant resources into the creation of printed, recorded, or televised information, that cost has gone to zero. We are not relying on vendors to provide us with basic information on their products and services. We are not relying on the large publishers of information to act as the filter of what is good information. Instead, we acquire basic product and service information online, and we find it by using search engines that determine what is “popular” as an information resource for the topic we are seeking. This “popularity” was originally determined by search engines using a very basic measure of popularity – the number of links to a piece of content. Now, more and more, it is being determined using information that includes criteria from the realm of social media – how frequently a piece of content is shared. As this happens, we as marketers need to ensure that our information and perspectives are discovered and considered at all appropriate points in a buyer’s buying process. Rather than sending out messages in bulk to large, captive audiences, we need to work to understand each prospective buyer’s needs and timing, and deliver only relevant messages based on who they are and where they are in the buying process. This approach, of understanding each prospect’s online behavior, or digital body language, based on social media, web activity, and other cues, and then delivering a unique message for that individual at the right moment in time, can only be accomplished using automated processes. This is where marketing automation comes in – marketing automation provides a platform upon which to build that understanding of each buyer, and automatically deliver a unique message. As this process is expanded to encompass all phases of the buying process, from awareness and education, through vendor discovery to solution validation, a marketer is able to manage the full lifecycle of a lead. At a certain phase in that lifecycle, it may make sense to bring in a sales person to discuss the specifics of pricing, solution scope, and contracts. This require the lead to be scored, routed, and handed to sales based on the detection of buying behavior. Put together, this then provides a lead management process that can be optimized and analyze from marketing through to revenue. All existing campaign efforts are not separate and independent from this, they act as content and drivers for each stage of this buying process. Marketing investments can be made according to where in the overall lead lifecycle the challenges are being seen. The transition in how buyers access information is resulting in a plethora of new concepts for marketers to wrestle with, from social media, to marketing automation, and lead management. However, they are all different manifestations of the same underlying transition, and as such, can be addressed as part of an overall change in how we think about buyers and facilitating their buying processes. Thanks to Steven. Clear messages. In a nutshell: the buyer is changing and you need to address those changes and provide the right information across each touchpoint, social and others.

Located in Albuquerque, N.M., Marpac, Inc., manufactures medical-tube-securement devices, such as tracheostomy collars and adjustable endotracheal tube holders, for respiratory therapists, critical-care nurses, and home healthcare. Although five percent of its business is international, Marpac is predominantly a U.S. company. Unlike its competitors, who outsource most manufacturing to China, Mexico, or the Dominican Republic, Marpac manufactures its products 100 percent within the U.S. Recently, Marpac released its new endotracheal tube holder, debuting it at the 2011 American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) trade show. This product exemplifies the philosophy behind Marpac’s approach to business. “We do a really good job of blending the needs of the respiratory therapist–the caregiver–with the needs of the patient in coming out with new products,” Alcalde said. This consideration extends to the service side, where every order ships the same day. Marpac has no backlog and has had 100 percent on-time delivery for five years. As with everything, there is a downside to this attentiveness. Many larger organizations will look at Marpac and see a company so small, it’s difficult to view it as a needle-mover. Alcalde would like to grow the company into a $10 or $50-million brand that will force people to pay attention. To sell its products, Marpac uses in-house salespeople and independent commission-only sales representatives around the country who sell Marpac’s products alongside ventilators and other higher-end equipment. Print advertising hasn’t really worked for the company, since Marpac occupies a specific, fragmented share of the marketplace. Marpac also sells directly through distributors, including Cardinal Health, Owens & Minor, and Tri-Anim. In 2012, the company will be establishing a larger Internet presence that will be focused less on sales and more on information. With all of these marketing efforts, Alcalde has noticed several trends. First is how centralized decision-making has become at hospitals. He said it used to be that a respiratory therapist or director of respiratory could determine what products they needed and simply purchase them. Now, it becomes a recommendation that is passed onto a product-evaluation committee, followed by a product-standardization committee, and on to purchasing. It’s very common that a hospital’s value-added committee will have a representative from a large distributor onboard. Naturally, this lessens the chances that a smaller manufacturer’s products will be approved for purchase. Furthermore, Alcalde has observed the increased strength of group-purchasing organizations (GPOs). Here, size is also a factor, especially when a GPO is negotiating a multi-billion dollar contract and an organization like Marpac is a few hundred thousand dollars on that contract. GPOs tend to naturally overlook Marpac’s presence. Then, there’s the issue of dollars-per-unit and the ongoing battle for healthcare organizations to contain costs. “In the reimbursement world, it’s not always the product that lasts the longest that gets chosen, because if you get reimbursed by each unit, you can have a product that doesn’t last as long and people don’t care as much,” Alcalde said. Finally, Alcalde has noticed that Marpac’s products are becoming more useful in the home-health setting, since people are being released from the hospital sooner. “We’re seeing our product line, the tracheostomy care, is becoming more and more of a home-care item also, as opposed to a strictly hospital-type product and distribution,” he observed. These products, Alcalde said, offer quality of design and comfort. For example, its newest product, the ET tube holder, doesn’t require adhesive tape on the patient’s face to keep the tube in place, thus preventing pressure sores and skin breakdown. Like the track on a Ziploc bag, a caregiver only needs to slide the holder back and forth in order to adjust the tube. In addition to sensible products, Marpac also offers a quick turnaround on production. Because its competitors are manufacturing overseas, what you see on the shelf is what you get. With Marpac, though, it’s not unusual to receive a request to customize one of its products for an unconventional patient. Because of Marpac’s size and domestic manufacturing, that product can be customized immediately and shipped the next day.

Bembibre, C; Strlič, M; (2017) Smell of heritage: a framework for the identification, analysis and archival of historic odours. Heritage Science , 5 (1) 10.1186/s40494-016-0114-1. We don’t know much about the smells of the past. Yet, odours play an important role in our daily lives: they affect us emotionally, psychologically and physically, and influence the way we engage with history. Can this lead us to consider certain smells as cultural heritage? And if so, what would be the processes for the identification, protection and conservation of those heritage smells? In order to answer these questions, the connection between olfaction and heritage was approached in three ways: (1) through theoretical analysis of the concept and role of olfaction in heritage guidelines, leading to identification of places and practices where smell is fundamental to their identity, (2) through exploration of the evidence for use of smells in heritage as a tool to communicate with audiences; and (3) through experimental evaluation of the techniques and methods for analysing and archiving the smells, therefore enabling their documentation and preservation. We present this through the framework of Significance Assessment—Chemical Analysis—Sensory Analysis—Archiving. The smell of historic paper was chosen as the case study, based on its well-recognized cultural significance and available research. Odour characterization was achieved by collecting visitor descriptions of a historic book extract through a survey, and by conducting a sensory evaluation at a historic library. These were combined with the chemical information on the VOCs sampled from both a historic book and a historic library, to create the Historic Book Odour Wheel, a novel documentation tool representing the first step towards documenting and archiving historic smells.

In 1811, the writer bought a farm on this site named Cartleyhole, which was a euphemism for the real name, Clartyhole (clarty is Scots for "muddy" or "dirty"). The name was surely not romantic enough for Scott, who renamed the property after a ford in the nearby Tweed used by the abbot of Melrose. Scott eventually had the house entirely rebuilt in the Scots baronial style. It was, of course, an expensive project, and Scott wrote feverishly to keep his creditors at bay. John Ruskin, the art critic, disapproved, calling it an "incongruous pile," but most contemporary visitors find it fascinating, particularly because of its expansive views and delightful gardens. The interior, reopened after extensive renovations in 2013, now includes new areas of the house. A free audio tour guides you around the salon, the wonderful circular study, and the library with its 9,000 leather-bound volumes. The newly built visitor center houses displays about Scott's life, a gift shop, and an upstairs restaurant serving lunch.

Pumpkin Wholegrain Buns - "Homemade Sunday-brunch" Autumn time is pumpkin time! So what could be more authentic than making your own buns for a Sunday breakfast? The Pumpkin Wholegrain Buns are a welcome change on your kitchen table and will make your family, friends and beloved ones happy during the next brunch together. The seasonal, healthy and wholesome buns are ready to “get spread”. You will be amazed by the richness of the dough and similarly the fluffiness of the buns inside due to the pumpkin. Is there any better start in a cozy autumn Sunday then a brunch in your comfy clothes? “The Sunday Brunch” – A Traditional event which fills our hearts with emotions right away. Why you may think? Well Claire and Me, we have a strong connection to the kitchen of our families. The Sunday brunch hereby has always been an event where the family comes together and eats for hours. What about you guys? Any suggestions what we should prepare on our next Sunday Brunch? I think you guys are going to fall in Love with this pumpkin buns recipe. And if you give it a try, let us know! We love seeing your comments, and especially your Instagram photos. Just tag them #Truefoodsblog so we can give them a look. Preparation: Cook a basic pumpkin soup such as the Healing Pumpkin Soup, or simply buy a small package of pumpkin soup in a good organic store. 1. Give the Flour into a large bowl and form a hole in the middle. Heat up 1/4 of the pumpkin soup with 1/4 Cup of water to around 110 F (45 degrees) and solve the fresh yeast in it (add 1/2 Tbsp of the sugar to it while mixing). Now give the yeast mixture into the hole in the bowl and drizzle a little bit of the flour on top of it. Add the Oats, linseeds, and nuts into the bowl on the side (picture 2). Cover the Bowl and place it 15 min on a warm space in your kitchen (I use the oven on the lowest possible heat in the winter). 2. Now take the remaining pumpkin soup and heat it up to the same 110 F (45 Degrees C) give it to the dough basis and start mixing with a kneader or your hands. Form a dough ball and let it rest again, covered, at a warm place for another 20 minutes. 3. Take the dough out and start rolling on a clean surface with some flour to form a dough-snail which gives you 5-6 equal buns. At this stage, you mid add more and more flour if the dough is too moist. Pre-Heat the Oven 365 F (190 Degrees C). 4. Place the bun-formed dough blanks on a baking sheet into the middle rail in your oven and top with some oats and seeds. Bake them for 18-25 minutes (make the moist test with a toothpick in the middle of the bun).

Whilst I was enjoying the remainder of evening sun with a nice cup of tea and a Stroopwafel I was looking at ones sorry looking Gnome without his hook, when thoughts turned to where I should continue on one’s quest for a canal double. The last number of weeks have been very tough indeed though with lots of lean fish, with the odd chunk, but if I look at the fish caught during this year’s sessions I’ve not done ‘that’ bad. A fish of 7lb 8oz the best, but 4 other fish over 5lb if I look back at my blog. Now if you didn’t know Stroopwafels are one of the world's best, and most sorely underrated biscuits. These Dutch concoctions consist of a thin layer of caramel-like syrup sandwiched between two wafers. They originated from Gouda in the Netherlands (better known for its eponymous cheese). I haven’t much of a sweet tooth but as these Stroopwafels are meant to be eaten with coffee or tea, and that’s where it appealed to me you see. After making a brew, the traditional way of eating them is to put the round disc on top of your mug and let the steam soften it for a couple of minutes and jobs a good’un. If you wan't something even more indulgent, whack on some whipped cream. Having being introduced to them, they are very moreish indeed, give them a go !!!! The steam heats the biscuit and melts the inside layer so that it's warm and gooey. If you can't wait that long, stroopwafels are great from straight from the package, too, oh and by the way, you can get them in your local Tesco. What you cannot get in your local Tesco though is smelt, another delicacy for the Dutch in times gone by, but also for the Zander, as both fish inhabit their waters legitimately. The smelt is a tiny fish which can be found in the coastal waters from the Baltic Sea, the North Sea and the Bay of Biscay. The fish is also known by its Latin name, which is Osmerus eperlanus. The last one I caught, very lean indeed, and seems to be more the norm. Smelt used to swim in and out of the Zuiderzee to spawn, the Zuiderzee was a shallow bay of the North Sea in the northwest of the Netherlands, extending about 60 miles inland and at most 30 miles wide. However, since the construction of the Closure Dike the fish are no longer able to swim back and forth. As a result there are now two types of smelt. The first type is called ‘inland smelt’, which does not go to the sea anymore, and the second type is called ‘marine smelt’. I buy smelt deads in bulk, separate them out in to session bags and they have proved a reliable bait in my armoury to catch Zander. The weather has been a mixed bag of late with plenty of rain showers, however I saw a window of opportunity to go and fish a big body of water where a good double had been caught from in the past. This would be a session in to dusk and as its deep here I’d also fish a big enticing lure to try and get a waiting fish to act on his aggression, if it wasn’t up for a deadbait. So a sleeper rod with a smelt would be moved in and around the swim to try and drop it on a fish. I could well be spreading myself too thin because this area is the furthest I travel to fish for Zander. The reality is though, a quest concluder has been caught here and my local waters have been a little off of late, so I’d nothing to lose. Best laid plans and all that, how did it go ? Well I got there around 7.30pm and a boat came through soon after. The water going from pedestrian to turbulent within a few seconds. A few nips on the lure I knew the swim had some small fish in situ and soon after the boat went through the first bite came. This time though on a small roach at the bottom of the smelt deadbait bag. The bite really confident despite the fishing underneath it being live bait material. This area seems to produce by far the smallest Zander I catch, the stamp ridiculously small, but there are lunkers here I've seen the pictures. Then nothing much happened, a lull in the feeding pattern, fish not topping, bites hard to come by. Eventually though a small fish took a liking to the lure and soon after another small schoolie took a proper gob full of the lure and two more on the deadbaits in quick succession. Heading towards dusk this was now the witching hour and after a missed bite when the fish let go of the smelt I thought things would only get better. Sadly it went the other way, with the sun setting in a cracking visual treat, that was as exciting as it got. I stopped a little longer that I thought I would to maximise the session, because after all this is an area I don't drive if there wasn't a chance of something half decent, the reality is, it appears it's as good on ones door step. So when I couldn't see the floats it was time to head off. On the way back a shadowy figure frequenting the same towpath as me. After some pleasantries it was a lure angler who knew who I was and had been a reader of my blog since not far off its conception. Glutton for punishment I'd say, but always nice to get some nice feedback especially when they'd wished me luck in my Zander quest. The Close Season Zander Quest Pt.140 – Lemures an...

Alaska and Delta are both very good, I always try to fly one of them domestically. I think Delta has slightly better food. And also a bit more innovative with things like the checked bag tracker in the app. Alaska doesn't have the random old planes you sometimes get on Delta, since it is all recent 737s and A320s. Their mileage program is still mileage-based, which is simpler than Delta, although that may be about to change when they join Oneworld. And no flights to Europe or Asia, if you are a high-mileage traveler who wants some international business class upgrades. Again they are joining Oneworld so that might change.

More painful still is the knowledge that I’m complicit. Because the overwhelming majority of plants are predominantly mycorrhizal in situ, any root exudates involved in kin recognition are likely to be filtered through mycorrhizal fungi. Why would a fungus pass carbon it acquires from one plant to another plant? Given the connectivity inherent in the formation of MNs and the impressive array of plant behavioural interactions that can be mediated through them, plant behaviour and MNs are intricately linked. (2012) demonstrated that flax donated relatively little carbon while receiving 94 % of its nitrogen and phosphorus from the MN, whereas sorghum invested significant amounts of carbon while gaining little, translating into no positive growth effects for sorghum. unpubl.). The trees in these and other forests are considered foundational species (Simard 2009), and the traits of foundational trees have been shown to have heritable effects on the associated networking mycorrhizal fungi (Rosado et al. They’re an ecosystem unto themselves, hosting more than a thousand species of invertebrates. Likewise, tomato plants received more jugalone, an allelochemical, and responded with reduced growth when connected to an MN when compared with control treatments lacking an MN (Achatz et al. At least the copy I was reading was from the library. In support of this, we found that ponderosa pine received both carbon and defence signals from damaged neighbouring Douglas-fir through networking mycorrhizal fungi (Song et al. These are expressed in plant adaptive behaviours such as survival, longevity, growth, physiology, carbon allocation or reproduction. In the classroom, I need to find more effective ways of encouraging my students to consider questions of representation. And thanks for nudging me to read OVERSTORY! I’ve made this commute since 1994, and over the years, lots of trees and farmland have given way to “development.” Recently, acres of land north of Iowa City have been reduced to muddy scars. The time is now, my third sabbatical. Why? The architecture of the MN is scale-free, where hub trees are highly connected relative to other trees in the forest (Beiler et al. 2008), and potentially gene regulation of connected neighbours connected (Song et al. 2007) and shoot and root growth of the young seedlings (Teste et al. 2010) and potentially much larger, with a single fungus sometimes spanning hundreds of hectares of forest (Ferguson et al. Her 30 years of research in Canadian forests have led to an astounding discovery -- trees talk, often and over vast distances. It looks like a human fingerprint. Root tips harbouring EMF are distinguishable by macroscopic features (Peterson et al. Join Facebook to connect with Suzanne Simard and others you may know. Some of this “development” stems from the expansion of the Interstate and the roads that feed it, and some of the “need” for that expansion is down to commuters like me. 1994a; Temel et al. They showed that production of defence enzymes increased receiver resistance to pests, as indicated by lower weight gain and hence lower fitness of the herbivore. ), ISBN: 978-953-307-144-2 Teste FP, Simard SW, Durall DM, Guy R, Berch SM (2010). 2010) and negative (Achatz et al. This is partly an outcome of study objectives, where experiments were designed to test receiver plant behaviour responses, but may also reflect the importance of relative source and sink strengths within an MN. Suzanne Simard is a pioneer on the frontier of plant communication and intelligence, and this book promises to change our understanding about what is really going on when a tree falls in the forest, and other pressing mysteries about the natural world. Heil and Karban (2009) similarly suggest that interplant communication via VOC stress signals may be an unavoidable consequence of individual defence strategies or are an extension of within-plant signalling. 2001; Perry et al. Further, within those categories, some plants will associate with a subset of fungal species (Brundrett 2009). forward, offering us a mission. This was demonstrated in the rapid transfer of labile carbon from the roots of injured EMF seedlings to healthy neighbours (Song et al. Her work demonstrated that these complex, symbiotic networks in … Then, in the final sentence, as Powers celebrates the variety of human love as a “species” of biodiversity, he blasts the distinctions between vehicle and tenor. Baluška F, Volkmann D, Hlavacka A, Mancuso S, Barlow PW. These responses were linked to improved seedling survival and productivity, and hence regenerative capacity of the forest. I’ve always wanted to visit California’s redwoods, but after reading about the year Nick and Olivia spent living in the limbs of giant Mimas, my desire to make the trip has morphed. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal symbioses dominate temperate grasslands, tropical forests and agricultural systems, but also associate with some temperate forest trees, such as members of the Cupressaceae and Aceraceae families (Brundrett 2009). First, if seed dispersal from the parent is limited, as we know is the case in forests (Perry et al. are others? The mycorrhizal symbiosis is a many-to-many relationship: plants tend to form symbioses with a diverse array of fungal species (broad host receptivity) and likewise, fungal species tend to be able to colonize plants of different species (broad host range). characters, Native Americans appear fleetingly, but the novel contains no These findings reveal that MNs can play an integral role in kin selection, but the exact mechanisms by which they do this are unclear. We do not fully explore the potential mechanisms by which communication is occurring through mycorrhizas, as this topic is reviewed elsewhere (Barto et al. For example, Semchenko et al. 2004) including: (i) the mantle (a fungal sheath that encases a colonized root tip) and (ii) extramatrical mycelium (diffuse hyphae that extend out into the surrounding soil). Consider ecological grief. I had no idea that the first printing of a bestselling book could kill 480 trees. The evolutionary ecology of MNs and the consequences for plant and fungal fitness has been discussed both in terms of individual selection and multi-level or group selection (Perry 1995; Wilkinson 1998; Babikova et al. By choosing to live nearly thirty miles from where I teach, I’m hurting the environment. 2014). Thus, related plants may more easily establish mutualisms as a result of the priming effects of root exudates (e.g., Semchenko et al. She is a biologist and has tested theories about how trees c… Whether an ecosystem is dominated by AMF or EMF associations has large-scale consequences for resource availability, as AMF systems have been recently demonstrated to have lower soil C : N ratios than those dominated by EMF, indicating fundamentally different nutrient cycling regimes, resulting in more carbon sequestered in EMF forests (Averill et al. Evidence for the occurrence of MNs has been accumulating for half a century (Björkman 1970; Reid and Woods 1969; Francis and Read 1984; Newman 1988), but their significance for ecosystems has been pursued intensively only in the past two decades (Simard et al. The other major class of mycorrhizas is the ectomycorrizal fungal (EMF) class. 2010). 2011). When considering that group selection occurs at the level of the species for the formation of groups, it is important to note that there is congruence between individual and group selection theory. 1997a; Teste et al. 1994; Karabaghli-Degron et al. But after I finished his novel, and after I looked at it more closely, I saw that he was urging book-lovers to seek hope within the horror. Regardless of the net effects of carbon transfer through the MN, both Douglas-fir and paper birch benefitted from growing in mixture versus monoculture through increased productivity (Sachs 1996), and from increased resistance to Armillaria root disease (Baleshta et al. 2012). 2014). Overstory also made me feel grief and guilt. broadest sense of the word. many other hard and important questions. Let’s return to the passage that celebrates Patricia and Or that using 100% recycled paper could save 480. A mycorrhiza is typically a mutualistic symbiosis between a fungus and a plant root, where fungal-foraged soil nutrients are exchanged for plant-derived photosynthate (Smith and Read 2008).

We finish with a discussion of how MN influences on plant behaviour are congruent with viewing plant communities as complex adaptive systems. Networks can be exclusive to a subset of plants able to form mycorrhizas with the same fungi, potentially linking members of a single species [for example Beiler et al. In commenting on a novel like Overstory, a novel that offers a wonderfully rich tapestry of human Led by Dr. Suzanne Simard, forest ecology professor at the University of British Columbia, the Mother Tree Project brings together academia, government, forestry companies, research forests, community forests and First Nations to identify and design successful forest renewal practices. Suzanne Simard: All trees all over the world, including paper birch and Douglas fir, form a symbiotic association with below-ground fungi. Her research focuses on the complexity and interconnectedness of nature and is guided by her deep connection to the land and her time spent amongst the trees. I’ve long believed in the web of life, and one of my favorite quotations is E.M. Forster’s “Only connect.” But Powers’ novel helped me begin to understand that the connections in our world are much more direct and intricate than I had realized. loblolly pine fiber, there must be a few words of truth, a page, a paragraph that 2014), which may also lower the resource costs of enzyme production, or promote genotypic complementarity between hosts and co-adapted fungal associates. Seedlings grown in soils from beetle-attacked pine stands expressed both reduced biomass and reduced production of monoterpenes compared with those grown in soil from undisturbed pine stands, revealing a transgenerational cascade mediated by fungal symbionts (Karst et al. When five of the novel’s human characters come together to protest deforestation in California, they use this slogan: NO TO THE SUICIDE ECONOMYYES TO REAL GROWTH. What is love? The MN is considered ecologically and evolutionarily significant because of its positive effects on the fitness of the member plants and fungi. 2011). There are a hundred thousand species of love, separately invented, each more ingenious than the last, and every one of them keeps making things. Climate Change and Variability, Suzanne Simard (Ed. I want to grow and change my teaching and writing. people are mostly to blame for climate change. Why you should listen. Under the drought conditions in this study, carbon transfer did not co-occur with water transfer, indicating plasticity in plant behavioural responses to limiting resources. 2014; Dickie et al. McNickle et al. He merges two ways of viewing the world: humans as primary; the rest of the world as primary. Asymmetrical benefits have also been evident in interspecific carbon transfer from paper birch to Douglas-fir in the summer, with increasing net transfer with shading of Douglas-fir (Simard et al. Suzanne Simard is a professor of forest ecology at the University of British Columbia. and an NSERC Discovery Grant and NSERC CREATE Grant to S.W.S. Interestingly, the greater stability found in mixed species plant communities than monocultures (Tilman et al. 2015). But in an American novel, how much diversity is enough? These observations raise questions about the evolutionary consequences of MN-related interactions. This passage is one of many that made me feel both humbled and joyful by all I have left to learn. 2013; Song et al. Importantly this reveals the existence of a mechanism by which plants can acquire nutritional levels of carbon from mycorrhizal fungi. However, reciprocal altruism, or repeated prisoners dilemma, occurs over longer time periods, and this explanation is more congruent with the highly variable disturbances and hiatus in forests. How can we feel enough grief to fuel the changes we need to The MN can thus integrate m… is missing. 2013). Likewise, Douglas-fir grew larger when in mixture with linked ponderosa pine, likely due to modified growth behaviour to gain access to excess phosphorus via the MN that would otherwise have been consumed by ponderosa pine as ‘luxury consumption’ (Perry et al. Plant behavioural responses that have been measured thus far include rapid changes in mycorrhizal colonization, root growth, shoot growth, photosynthetic rate, foliar nutrition, foliar defence chemistry and defence response (Fig. 2012). Barto EK, Weidenhamer JD, Cipollini D, Rillig MC.

<gh_stars>10-100 # About Apache Corinthia (incubating) Corinthia is a set of libraries and tools for dealing with different file formats for productivity applications, with an initial focus on word processing. The goal of the project is to provide components which developers can easily integrate into their own applications and scripts for converting and manipulating data in a wide range of formats via a consistent interface. This is the first public release of Corinthia, and consists of a single core library called DocFormats. The library provides two-way conversion between OOXML word processing documents (aka Microsoft Word .docx) and HTML. The Microsoft Word support has previously been used in commercial applications and is fairly mature. Support for other file formats is in development, but not part of this release. The Corinthia project is part of the Apache Software Foundation [incubator](http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Process_Description.html), which it entered on December 8, 2014. The [accepted proposal](http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/CorinthiaProposal) and [incubation status](http://incubator.apache.org/projects/corinthia.html) provide incubation background and progress information. The communication hub of the project is the development mailing list, dev @ cor<EMAIL> To receive list postings and interact on the list, simply send a message to dev-subscribe @ corinthia.incubator.apache.org from the email address to receive list messages at. The reply from the list robot to that address provides confirmation instructions and information on managing the subscription. Further links: - [Corinthia incubator web site](http://corinthia.incubator.apache.org/) - [Project wiki](http://incubator.apache.org/projects/corinthia.html), and a - [JIRA issue tracker](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COR). These sites and the documentation for this project are at a preliminary stage. Content will be moved to Apache and improved as incubation moves along. There is also a [Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/CorinthiaProject) and a Twitter account, [@ApacheCorinthia](https://twitter.com/ApacheCorinthia). # License Corinthia is licensed under the Apache License version 2.0; see LICENSE.txt for details. # What the library can do 1. Create new HTML files from a .docx source 2. Create new .docx files from a HTML source 3. Update existing .docx files based on a modified HTML file produced in (1) 4. Convert .docx or HTML files to LaTeX 5. Provide access to document structure, in terms of a DOM-like API for manipulating XML trees, and an object model for working with CSS stylesheets # Components There are three major components, in their respective directories: * `DocFormats` - file format conversion library * `dfconvert` - driver program for performing conversions * `dftest` - test harness Run dfconvert without any command-line arguments to see a list of possible operations. The following is an example of converting a .docx file to HTML, modifying it, and then updating the original .docx file based on the modified HTML file. Any content or formatting information that could not be converted to HTML (e.g. embedded spreadsheets) will be left untouched. dfconvert get report.docx report.html vi report.html # Make some changes dfconvert put report.docx report.html Note that when executing a put operation to update the document, the .docx file must be identical to that from which the HTML file was originally generated. This is because of assumptions the update process relies on about the relationship between elements in the HTML file and their counterparts in the .docx file. If you have modified the .docx file between get and put, or execute a put on the same file twice, this will be automatically detected and an error will be reported. Look at `consumers/dfconvert/src/main.c` to see how to use the API. The public API headers are in the `DocFormats/api/headers/DocFormats` directory. # Platforms and dependencies Corinthia builds and runs on OS X, Linux and Windows. To build DocFormats, you will need to have the following installed: * [CMake](http://www.cmake.org) * [libxml2](http://xmlsoft.org) * [libiconv](https://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/) * [zlib](http://www.zlib.net) # Build instructions Corinthia currently builds on Linux, OS X and Windows. See the [build instructions](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Corinthia/Build+instructions). # Contributing Contributors are welcome. Details on how to participate on the project will be posted soon. Meanwhile, the easiest way to contribute is by subscribing to the development list and asking your questions and offering suggestions there. # Link with third party libraries APACHE Corinthia links to a set of third party libraries, which are not included in the release, but are needed to build a binary. These libraries are not part of LICENSE, since they are not part of the release, and are therefore listed extra in this file: libxml2 (MIT license) SDL2 (zlib license) SDL2_image (zlib license) zlib (zlib license)

. Marx would argue that education is set up to provide the bourgeoisie with workers and to keep the proletariat or working class in their place. Promoting a false class conciseness which is the Marxist thesis that society is constructed to ‘brainwash‘ the proletariat into believing that it is a fair system and what they have is what they deserve. The middle to upper classes generally receive a better standard of education, for many reasons. The teaching tends to be superior, there are more extra curricular activities, which are geared towards higher achievement, the parents of middle to upper class students have much cultural capital and usually more material capital, they know how the system works, they know how to use it and generally being more articulate, they know how to get what they think their children need. Whereas the parents of a working class student generally are not in this position. Assuming they too have come through the education system their children are now entering, they have themselves been subjected to an inferior education system and lack the confidence and knowledge of the system, neither are they as articulate as their middle to upper class counterparts. Durkheim said about education “It is by respecting the school rules that the child learns to respect rules in general, that he (sic) develops the habit of self control and restraint simple(simply) because he should control and restrain himself. It is the first initiation into the austerity of duty. Serious life has now begun.” Briefly, education is set up to prepare children to enter society. To learn hierarchy and their place within it. For the middle to upper class, it prepares them to enter society as the leaders in both business and public life and for the working classes, it prepares them for entering the general workforce. The functionalists’ view of education perpetuates a system that they think works and does not need change. It promotes and works to continue a system that, according to Marx (1818-1883), keeps the idea of class alive and keeping the middle to upper class powerful and rich. Marx’ view on society is that it is exploitative, oppressed and its’ sole purpose is to keep the bourgeoisie in power and the proletariat having to sell the only thing they have, their labour, in order to make a living. Marx believed there is a false class consciousness, a misbelief that your fate is the correct one. What you have is what you deserve. He thought that the functionalists idea of society was preventing change for the better. Marx believed that society needs to change and evolve, and that the static condition of society that functionalists want to keep is about ensuring the rich were kept rich and the poor poor. Dialectic Logic is a concept that Marx promoted which says “Truth is often sought in discussion – in dialogue, or dialectic… Discussion originates in disagreement, the conflict of oppositions, which encourages debate. The argument proceeds by the putting of one position and the countering of it by another, opposed position. The search for truth is not about standing firm with one position, but in trying to reach agreement with one’s opponent, to arrive at a conclusion that both can accept.” He believed that in a functionalist society people were raised to accept their role in society without asking questions and to accept the idea that society was perfect as it is and doesn’t need to change. In dialectic logic Marx offered an alternative to blindly following a set ‘doctrine’ by a system of being able to ask questions, argue about the solutions and both sides being able to come up with an alternative that both sides could live with and in turn society could change for the better of all with all having the opportunity to be involved. He believed this should start in education in the form of schools based on dialectic logic rather than the current system that discourages questioning of standardised norms. Marx talks of alienation about which he says, “If we work for money rather than satisfaction and relevance work should bring to our lives, alienation occurs. Alienation from product of labour, and alienation from self and others.” He believed that capitalist work is hostile to the worker and dominates the workers’ life, the worker is alienated from himself by the very act of production as he does not view his work a part of real life and does not feel at home with it. This idea could be translated into education as well, with a standardised system of education that is applied to all students and a curriculum not individually tailored for groups of students by ability, interest and goals, the students feel alienated. Which may be an explanation for todays issues, with working class students at least, not graduating and leaving school without having the basic knowledge such as being able to read or write as well as the ‘anti-social’ behaviour displayed everyday on the news and in public. Evidence would suggest that perhaps there is more alienation within group of working class students than within groups of middle to upper class students, perhaps because of how the middle to upper class parents, with more cultural capital, have more influence on how their children’s education progresses and indeed how their children perceive their education helping to make them feel less alienated. Should education be focused on groups of individuals with the same interests or goals, the student may not feel alienated, but rather engaged in what he/she is learning, that being, what they want to learn and not what the school system or society say they should be learning. Functionalists construct society on consensus wherein everyone in society has “agreed” to how society was to develop. Everything based on merit (meritocracy), in education and in work. Everyone gets the same chances to acquire the same knowledge and therefore it is up to them on how they progress, passing all the tests and getting a good education and then a good job or failing and having to get employment in something more menial. Whether they pass or fail, it is up to the individual. However, society consists of people, people do not make a society. Individuals are part of society because society lets them be a part of it but they have to work for the good of society and thus the rules need to be followed. Marx said that functionalist society is repressive and promotes conflict. The bourgeoisie are repressive to the proletariat, trying to keep them in their place so they can make more money. He said that power is repressive, the bourgeoisie use the power they have in controlling the means of production to repress the workers. He believed there should be a change as individuals are produced by society and if that society is repressive, it produces repressed individuals. He wanted free will for individuals, they should be able to do what they want to do, when they want to do it and a capitalist society was causing suffering due to alienation and it further promotes the false class consciousness. Marx wanted education to be critical, based on dialectic logic to encourage students to question society norms and to start the process of change to a point where the individual is important and to help in changing society. To summarise, functionalists see education as a precursor to life. Believing that education should prepare students for entry into society as a productive, loyal, respectful member of that society. It exists for a child to learn hierarchy, social norms, interactions as well as the do’s and don’ts of society. Where everything you do is to promote the continuation of the society and for the good of society as a whole. It works on a basis of meritocracy where each individual progresses on his or her own merit. If they succeed or if they fail it is what they deserve as it is a measure of their own merit or intelligence. Functionalists do not think that society needs to change as the system is perfect the way it is. People get what they deserve, the right people end up in the right positions, whether that be Prime Minister or strawberry picker, therefore, functionalists are not concerned with power as a subject for discussion. With the view that the sociological system is perfect, the education system is as it should be to keep society continuing as it is. Although reward is based on merit, I believe that class does play a major role in the education a child receives. “All mothers are actively involved in their children’s education. The working-class mothers worked just as hard as the middle-class mothers. But it was not hard work that counted. Instead, it was the amount of cultural capital available. And the middle-class mothers had most.”[ Reay, D., Class Work: Mothers’ involvement in their children’s primary schooling.1998.] Middle-class schools attract middle-class pupils and have higher achievements overall. Schools want middle-class pupils as they are seen as easier to teach and overall are likely to perform better and will maintain or increase a schools position in the league tables and status. Reay concludes that middle-class mothers work very hard to ensure their children get into the most successful schools, but what they gain may be at the expense of working-class children. Where the working-class mothers do not have the same cultural capital as the middle-class mothers do of which to take advantage. Marxists oppose the functionalist view, thinking that the education system as it is now, only serves to promote and prolong the bourgeoisies’ repression of the proletariat. A way to keep a system of false class consciousness alive and ensuring that the middle to upper class continue to make money while keeping the working classes in a position where all they can do is sell their own labour to earn money to live. Marxists feel that a repressive society can only produce repressed individuals who suffer alienation from their work as they have to work for money rather than satisfaction and relevance and believe that the education system serves to instil this repressive system into people from a very young age, ensure its continuity. Marxists want critical education, based on dialectic logic. They want a classless society where people are not repressed and are individual, able to do what they want, when they want. Awesome post. Do you mind if I ask what your source is for this information? This is my own essay for my sociology class so most was from in-class notes, referencing Marx, Durkhiem, Parsons etc. Then there is the portion where I did reference D. Reay, who is presently at Cambridge I think.

I did get a few days out in the snow running. This weekend was amazing. Even though it was only 20 degrees outside, I felt warm and knocked out 12.2 miles on my long run this weekend. Finding it hard to stay motivated in these temps, when I have to get my ass up even earlier to shovel off the car. But I still focus on the end result. Getting to the Finish line at IMLP!! I received my new special ops TYR goggles in the mail last week and was so happy to get them. Well, I left them at my local gym last week and ended up losing them. Sad day today in the pool. Thank god I had an extra pair to wear. I am preparing for my next adventure in the snow. The Lake Effect Half Marathon on Feb 22nd. Looking forward to breaking my goal of going under 1:50 for this race. Hoping the conditions set me up for a great race! We will see. I fell down my basement stairs a few days ago, right on my back and hit the back of my head! Oouch! I have been feeling a niggle here and there. I may need to go to a chiropractor. I almost had a meltdown while swimming this morning because every time I rotated my hips, I felt a pull in my back. I'm hoping I can be adjusted and fixed by race time! How's everyone else's training going?? This week in Numbers: Swim:6060 yds- 1:34:24 Bike:91 miles-4:35:06 RUn:24.7 miles-3:43:49 Strength: 45 min Total: 10:38:19 Total: 10:38:19 Way to stay motivated. Winter training is hard for me mainly because of the lack of sunlight. We're experiencing unseasonably warm temps here in the SW thought which makes it easier now but makes me dread the summer that's coming. Good luck!

We provide older adults in Carmel and the broader community with one-on-one support that allows them to live safely and independently at home. Top Rated Home Care Services Offered By Home Care Assistance Home Care Assistance has been helping individuals requiring special care such as the elderly with services to help them carry on with their daily living in the safety and comfort of their homes. They provide top-tier services that will help your loved one to continue living a dignified and independent life. Whether it’s your grandpa, nana or your parents, professionals at Home Care Assistance will make sure that they are all well cared for. Often, the main reason why many people oft for home assisted living services is that most senior not only love the comfort of their homes but also because it’s where they feel safe. So, rather than damage your relationship with your grandparents by forcefully sending them to a senior living facility, take the professionals to them instead. This way, you not only get to salvage the relationship but also get your loved one the help they need. Moreover, the elderly are more open to home care assistance than moving to gated communities. Of course, down the line, taking the elderly to a senior care facility might be inevitable. However, before then, why not let professionals help your parents or grandparents without them having to leave their home? Sometimes, the elderly succumb to diseases and conditions that make them incapable of being independent. They’ll start to forget to take medications and even can’t even handle basic activities. These issues can be traced to ageing conditions such as Dementia, Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s. Alzheimer’s should never be taken lightly. Typically, individuals who have Alzheimer’s disease experience symptoms such as confusion with location and time, not being able to complete familiar tasks and memory loss. This means that people with the disease will have a difficult time even to communicate. Their behavior may become unpredictable which makes it imperative to professional in-home help. Parkinson’s disease is associated with symptoms such as rigid muscles, tremor, poor balance and posture and also impaired movement. When one has a problem moving about, it’s best to have a professional at home to help with mobility. Seniors with Dementia will often experience symptoms such as a poor sense of direction, difficulty remembering things, change in mood and confusion to name a few. Without proper care, people with dementia can succumb to the paranoia and memory loss and get lost or even start hallucinating. Although a stoke might not cause permanent damage, when it does, the victim ends up paralyzed which can make it next to impossible for them to continue with their lives without extra help. They may have problems with mobility and communication and might even suffer from cognitive difficulties. That’s why it makes sense to have expert in-home from a well-reputed company. All the caregivers at Home Care Assistance are professionals and will go above and beyond to provide the best in-home care for your elderly family member. They have an excellent reputation for having specially trained caregivers who can tackle any situation including the conditions mentioned above. If you have any questions and need to contact a Home Care Assistance representative, call and learn more about their many programs. Cancer patients often need constant care and assistance; especially the elderly. Sometimes, you’ll find that a single mishap in treatment can lead to monumental consequences. Therefore, to make sure the elderly in your family don’t skip on therapy or medication, consider contacting a representative from Home Care Assistance to get them the help they need. Full time and around the clock caregivers are also available for elder patients.

I’m not a fan of fantasy in general, so I was very intrigued to see what a Rick and Morty take on the genre would look like. The answer, it transpires, is a visually impressive if somewhat meandering one. ‘Special Ricktim’s Morty’ is an amusing episode, no doubt, but certainly a weak one by Rick and Morty standards. After the success of their latest adventure, Rick is forced to live up to his promise and give Morty a dragon. Morty’s experiences with Balthrama (Liam Cunningham) are soon frustrated by Rick, who intends to kill the creature but eventually bonds with it himself. Breaking a contract in this way proves problematic for the wizard who facilitated Balthrama’s arrival, leading to a sentence of death – Rick, Morty and Summer enter a fantasy dimension to help save him. Your tolerance for the latter half of the episode will depend on how funny you find crude sexual humour. Rick, Morty and Summer find an underground colony of ‘slut dragons’, and it transpires that the entire dragon culture is essentially based around lots of sexual acts. There is something deeply hilarious and surreal about the dragon elder describing how he hides away and masturbates to the sounds of the other dragons, and it’s the kind of thing that could only work in an episode of Rick and Morty. That said, on a rewatch, the incredibly graphic sexual descriptions and excessive cussing didn’t work as well. For some people, it won’t work at all. ‘Special Ricktim’s Morty’ is a bit of a comedown from some of the other, more well-plotted episodes this series. I liked a lot of the gags, but the episode just seemed to peter out, discarding interesting plot threads as it did. When the three enter the fantasy world, we see that Rick is unable to use his science, rendering a magical Morty their best asset. Or, for thirty seconds or so, before we’re back to the status quo. Rick’s powerlessness has appeared to be the series’ major theme, so to see it completely dismissed here just felt confusing. Part of the reason ‘Special Ricktim’s Morty’ works so well despite its lack of direction are the two perfectly-cast guest stars. Cunningham (best known for Game of Thrones) brings his gravelly, deadpan baritone to some highly ridiculous lines, and it just makes them work. And, as the cat, Broderick brings his trademark easy charm, mixing it with an air of condescension and faux benevolence. It helps that he gets to bounce off Chris Parnell as Jerry, whose understated charm is one of the show’s best assets, and something it always benefits from using. The pay-off for his story is a strong one, and a strong example of how some things are better left unshown. On the subject of showing things, it should be stressed that everything still looks beautiful. By bringing magic and dragons into the Rick and Morty universe, and letting them engage in some outstanding fantasy battles, show that the animators here are masters. Nothing ever defeats them, no matter how weird or madcap it may be, and it really shows up in an episode as visually inventive as this. ‘Special Ricktim’s Morty’ is a bit of a mixed bag – it packs some great lines and solid voice performances, but it is a little underwhelming for a show so focused and creative. I’d recommend it, but I don’t expect it’ll be one to revisit that often.

However, this is just a look at the promotional industry from the side of an amateur. But if I was asked who should be caught, banged a box with a blue line painted on it and asked why this devilry is not selling as quickly as I would like, I would show whom, yes (a joke with a grain of truth). Strictly speaking, what is it all for?. Recently, the packaging design of PC components is clearly returning to a sexy note. The faces of the girls on the boxes (for now) are still calm, they are still moderately undressed, although who knows where the designers’ imagination will fly away the next time you need to convey the performance of a freshly released chip “with expression”. The designers of the AOpen company, most likely, “caught on” the trend, but they decided not to experiment with pseudo-technological cast-iron bras, but took the eternal, classic and win-win theme: Marilyn Monroe. In order not to incur lawsuits from those who like to sue copyright, the card was called simply and without fuss – Monroe, without any “Marilyn”, and another photo was put in a box, albeit in a classic version with a characteristic swelling hem of a dress. What we are about? Oh yes, about video cards. Inside the box is a low-profile Aeolus FX5200-DV128 LP, based on a GeForce FX5200 chip, equipped with 128 MB of DDR SDRAM. However, what is the significance of the characteristics of the card in such a design of the box??

NASA astronaut Michael Collins was born on October 31, 1930 in Rome, Italy. He attended the United States Military Academy at West Point, joining the United States Air Force upon his graduation in 1952. From 1959 to 1963, Collins served as a test pilot for the Aerospace Research Pilot School in California. Collins began his career with NASA in October 1963 when he selected to join the third group of astronauts. He flew two space missions: as Pilot for Gemini 10 in July 1966—during which he set a world altitude record—and as Command Module Pilot for Apollo 11 in July 1969, during which Collins remained in lunar orbit while his crewmates took their historic walk on the Moon. President Richard Nixon awarded him and his Apollo 11 crewmates the Presidential Medal of Freedom upon their return. In total, he logged 266 hours and four minutes in space, of which one hour and 27 minutes were spent in extravehicular activity. Collins left NASA in 1970 to take the post of Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs. In 1971, he joined the Smithsonian Institution, serving as Director of the National Air and Space Museum and Under Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. He left the Smithsonian in 1980, becoming Vice President of the LTV Aerospace and Defense Company before starting his own consulting firm in 1985.

"The vessel has berthed at the jetty and started discharging cargo. The damage was not as bad as to suspend operations. The terminal is operational and there is no disruption," P. Dasgupta, Managing Director, Petronet, told Business Line from Delhi. Meanwhile, the company has abandoned plans to build breakwater facilities at the Dahej complex, he said. "There is no significant current in the sea near the jetty to warrant construction of the breakwater," he said. Asked if the breakwater could have prevented the damage caused by the tugboat that rammed into the jetty last Saturday, he said that the cause of the accident was high winds of over 40 knots in velocity. "Even if we had a breakwater, it could not have prevented the accident as that was caused due to high velocity winds," he added.

Howard said “I’m here” when asked what he’d do if the Dolphins neither trade him nor give him a new conract, but it does seem that acrimony will remain in the air until one of those two things comes to fruition. Let’s be completely honest here X, you’re not supporting the team, you’re saving yourself 50k a day in fines. Don’t try to sound like a “Team” player now. What team would give up a first round pick for him, pay him more money, then in 2 years go through this again? Damage control. You said what you said, X. I believe his new agent wants to get paid more than he does and that’s what is preventing the two sides from finding common ground. $15 mil a year? I have a family to feed…. 10 picks when finally playing in all 16 games and the guy thinks he is Mike Haynes. The contract he signed made him the highest paid corner at the time. This guy doesn’t understand that there will always be a ‘next guy’ who gets paid more. Maybe he should prove that he can play a full season before asking for more money! The Dolphins need to apologize and give him what he wants. As a Dolphins fan, I am right behind Chris Grier on this one. I’d be happy to see him traded away. Chris Grier gave the inferior and medicore Byron Jones, 15 mil per. Miami will finish in 3rd place behind NE and Buffalo. NE is going to be at the bottom of the AFC East. No quarterback, no defense, no running game, atrocious drafting. They might win four games. Maybe. Pay Da Man And X Gonna Give It To Ya! What nicer place is there to play than Miami with no income tax and beautiful weather most of the time ? They could ship you to Cleveland or Buffalo where they have brutal winters. He doesn’t have chemistry with Tua. Miami should have moved him already. It wasn’t popular at the time but I give a guy like Kirk Cousins credit fir sticking to his ‘year by year’ approach making as much as he could. Good for him to bet on himself and win. I remember the same with Flacco when he bet on himself and won the SB that year, then got paid the year after. NFL guys should take shorter deals and max their money. Injury risk is there and I get it, so it’s likely just the 5% stud guys that complain and we hear about it. 2 years ago a guy who had played only one full season in his career was given the largest contract extension in CB history. That player then promptly tore his ACL and missed all but 5 games the following season. Miraculously… the team that made him the highest paid CB in NFL history (since surpassed) brought in another highly paid CB to play along side him. Because this other top tier CB talent was playing next to him.. the oft injured player could suddenly play with less stress, got to stay healthy.. and had the best year of his career! Did he thank the team that made him the highest paid CB in history before he earned it? Nope! Instead he started attacking the value of teammates and demanded a trade if they didn’t pay him even more! Lets all stew on this for awhile shall we?

STREAMING REVIEW: Traversing the streaming mainstream It’s a known fact that more often, I’ve been reviewing the more prestige, high-brow streaming options; as honestly, they need more of a push – for example, films on Netflix like Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Pieces of a Woman, and Malcolm & Marie, didn’t make much of a dent in the Most Watched list. And yet, they’re the ones picking up film awards nominations. But yes, for a change, I’m reviewing the more mainstream shows – new domestic dramas, YA fare, thrillers, and sit-com’s. Happy viewing! Behind Her Eyes (Netflix UK) – Here’s a 6-episode Limited Series that tries its hardest to be different, mysterious, and a portent of trouble to come. The question is whether is it all intent and set-up; or does it actually deliver? We start off with Louise (Simona Brown), a British-African single mom who lives with her 7-year old son, and works as a secretary at a Psychiatry clinic. She meets David (Tom Bateman) at a bar and they hit it off but he abruptly leaves, apologizing. We discover the next day that’s he’s her new boss, and he’s married to Adele (Eve Hewson, who’s the daughter of Bono of U2). As the episodes glide by, we see that one of the themes of the series is how the ordinary people we may encounter on the street, have deep, dark secrets haunting them. Things get complicated when the flirting between Louise and David continue, and Adele befriends Louise without David’s knowing – cue in sex scenes. Flashbacks abound, and malevolent dreams and characters occur. I’ll hand it to the series that it earnestly gives us complications, and keeps us guessing on who really are the villains of the piece. Involving; but in the end, it hinges on whether the well-loved psychological thriller of Sarah Pinborough has made a successful transition to Television. The Map of Tiny Perfect Things (Amazon Prime USA) – This is a YA adventure that gives an overt nod to the premise of films such as Groundhog Day and Time Bandits. One could even call it the teenage version of Palm Springs (the funny 2020 Andy Samberg film). We’re introduced to High School senior Mark (Kyle Allen) in the opening credits, going through his morning routine in Smalltown USA. The little trick crops up as we discover he goes through this routine on a daily basis, caught in a ‘temporal anomaly’, i.e. a time loop. And yes, this is a charming introduction to Mark. It’s when he encounters Margaret (Kathryn Newton), who alone in Mark’s world, is conscious of experiencing the very same thing, that the plot ‘thickens’. There’s a lot of light, cutesy humorous moments, a lot of earnest pondering about what this all means. And I’ll concede that the two have chemistry together. Newton was great in Freaky (the mature, horror/comedy tribute to Freaky Friday that also starred Vince Vaughn), but here, she’s not asked to do much, when the screenplay might have been more interesting if done from Margaret’s perspective. She has the more interesting back story; but it’s Mark narrating. Entertaining, but could have been so much more. Red Dot (Netflix Sweden) – Filmed in the forest wilds of Sweden where one can sleep under the Northern Lights, the title of this film refers to the red dot that appears when the telescopic sights of one’s rifle is aimed at its target. It’s ominous, it’s chilling (literally and metaphorically), and this is a visceral, grim adventure thriller that’s ready to take no prisoners. The main characters are David, a fresh Engineering graduate, and his mulatto girlfriend, then wife, Nadja. To try and rekindle their marriage, he suggests a ski trip, and it’s there that they discover she’s pregnant. The rising racism and xenophobia in Sweden gets its overt reference via Nadja’s skin color and the way some Swedish ‘rednecks’ refer to her, or refuse to acknowledge her presence. This is essentially a stalker film, and it is relentless the moment it really gets going. I also liked how it’s ready to keep us off-balance by refusing to meet our expectations vis-a-vis resolutions and endings. The fact that we’re dealing with a cast of relative unknowns may keep you from watching this, but if you’re looking for a hard-boiled thriller, this actually fits the bill. The Crew (Netflix USA) – Here is one of the big reasons why I don’t watch mainstream on a regular basis. First off, this series should be subtitled ‘Product Placement’ – I’ve not seen such heavy-handed and overt product placement in a long time. Secondly, while Kevin James has had his moments in his comedy film career, you feel one has to evolve and subtly change to stay relevant. This series, both in terms of the character Kevin plays, and the script which relies too heavily on the old shtick that being female and a millennial is a threat, and can be mined for laughs, is too 1990’s. It’s like we’re operating in a time warp, asked to sympathize with characters who honestly, don’t deserve our sympathy. To make things worse, the comedy series is set in the world of NASCAR. From what I know, NASCAR has been trying to become more relevant, and broaden its fan base. I don’t think this series is going to help any. James can still evoke belly laughs, but it’s more from his physical comedy than from any gem of a joke or repartee the script has produced. I know this series will find its own set of fans; but I’d stay far away if you’re looking for ‘woke’ comedy, or humor that’s based on the realities of today. I would like to see Kevin with a worthwhile project, but sadly, this isn’t the one.

Best practices for managing such contaminated disposable items as suction containers and tubing necessitate disposal after each surgical or invasive procedure. Do your ORs meet this standard or do you dispose of tubing and canisters on an as-needed basis, citing cost and convenience as reasons why you're less than vigilant when it comes to medical liquid waste management? what the reasons were for these practices. She handed these questionnaires to attendants at the 2006 Society of Gastroenterology Nurses and Associates meeting and got 101 responses. Of these, 12 were from freestanding surgery centers, four were from office-based centers and five were from ambulatory surgery centers with GI services. The other 80 were from hospitals. The canister-changing habits of the surveyed freestanding centers that used disposable suction systems were all over the board. Five changed the suction canister after each case; three changed it at the end of the day; one changed the canister when it was full; one changed it when the canister was full or at the end of the day; one did it at the nurse's discretion; and one participant didn't respond. When asked about suction tubing, eight of the centers changed it after each patient while four waited until the end of the day. As for the office-based centers, only one reported changing the suction canisters with each patient; another changed it at the end of the day and the other two changed it when full or at the end of the day. Three of these centers changed the tubing with each patient; one did this at the end of the day. Two of the respondents from freestanding GI centers reported that they changed their canister with each patient, one only when full, one at the end of the day and one when it was full or at the end of the day. Three of these centers changed their tubing with each patient, while two changed the tubing at the end of the day. The hospitals were less likely to use the same canister or tubing for multiple patients. Close to 60 percent reported that they changed canisters for each patient and a higher percent, ranging from 70 percent of the community hospitals to almost 80 percent of the trauma/teaching hospitals reported changing the tubing with each case. other (15). These reasons included "We based it on a magazine article," "It was the way when I came here," "Common sense" and "We called a neighboring unit to see what they were doing." So with all these options, how can you know how often you should change your canisters? And more importantly, what will the regulators say about your technique? Here's what AORN and the Joint Commission recommend. AORN. The AORN's 2007 "Recommended Practices (RP) for Environmental Cleaning in the Surgical Practice Setting" in its Standards, Recommended Practices and Guidelines (551-558) states: "Operating rooms should be cleaned before and after each surgical procedure and at the end of each day. Cleaning also may be necessary during any surgical procedure." The rationale for this statement is based on infection control principles related to decreasing the presence of contamination within the perioperative environment to reduce the number of microbial flora and ultimately lowering the incidence of surgical wound contamination, says Sharon Giarrizzo-Wilson, RN, BSN/MS, CNOR, perioperative nurse specialist at the AORN's Center for Nursing Practice. The RP continues on to state, "Contaminated disposable patient care items should be discarded in leak-proof, tear-resistant, labeled containers to prevent exposure of personnel to items potentially contaminated with infectious microorganisms and to prevent contamination of the surgical environment." How contaminated patient care items are disposed is of utmost concern, says Ms. Giarrizzo-Wilson. "Disposal is a process that requires forethought and conscientious efforts to protect the healthcare worker from exposure to microbial contamination and the patient from harm related to surgical site infection," she says. Joint Commission. While the Joint Commission doesn't specifically say how often you should change your waste canisters, it says in Standard IC 4.10 Element of Performance 1 that you should incorporate relevant guidelines for preventing infections. That means following the guidelines from the CDC, Joint Commission rules (Leadership Standard LD.1.30) or your local environmental services guidelines. "Whichever one you choose, be sure to tell your surveyor about it," says Louise Kuhny, RN, MPH, MBA, CIC, associate director of standards interpretation for the Joint Commission. Dispose of the waste regularly to avoid accumulation. Keep the waste in a well-ventilated area where pests can't get to it. Know if there is a state-imposed limit to how much fluid waste from the canisters you can dump into the sewer. If you seal and dispose of used canisters, have a system in place to be sure they are properly labeled and arrive at their intended destination. Create a regulated plan to show you are in compliance with all federal, state and local health and environmental regulations. So if you're thinking about why you dispose of your canisters, however often you do it, and can't come up with an answer, this may be a good time to establish guidelines to use for your facility's protocol. If cost is a concern, you may want to look at common hidden expenses to be sure you're not wasting money on medical waste. "Most facilities look at their canister disposal systems from a worker's safety standpoint and when looking at the types of equipment they do a cost-evaluation," says Jack McGurk, president of the Fair Oaks, Calif.-based consulting firm Systems Improvement Initiators and former chief of the Environmental Management Branch of the California Department of Health. "But to get the best system, they need to look at what they're doing in the facility. "For example, if a facility is doing a lot of arthroscopy cases, they're going to need a cart or a big container. You can hook up a bunch of small canisters to do that, but it will take your staffers time to change those so you really should go to something bigger." To set up the best system for your facility, Mr. McGurk says, you need to take a big-picture approach. "The accounting department may not be a part of your team to improve waste disposal, but they have the data on how much you're paying and how much your contracts with outside companies for medical waste removal are," he says to offer an example. One of the biggest hidden costs you may uncover, says Mr. McGurk, is in the way you dispose of the fluids. "Some facilities just cap it and send it off as medical waste and that's an expensive way of doing it," he says, noting that waste disposal companies often charge by the pound and that a canister filled with fluid is two or three pounds heavier than its usual weight. You can reduce what you throw away by dumping the fluids and cleaning out the canister, but Mr. McGurk says you need to be sure this practice actually is efficient in terms of cost and safety. "If you're putting the canisters into an autoclave, you should test the canister afterwards to be sure you're killing everything inside it because the canister itself could act as a barrier," he says. "You also have to account for the capital costs of equipment and maintenance of the autoclave and what you're paying for the time your staff needs to run a cycle." Once your fluid waste program is designed or redesigned, you need to teach your staff about what you want them to do. Try a multimodal approach to make it as interesting as possible, says Louise Kuhny, RN, MPH, MBA, CIC, associate director of standards interpretation for the Joint Commission. "Some possible ways of achieving compliance are by using videos, PowerPoint, motivational campaigns and other measures to get the staff thinking about the rules," she says. One technique Ms. Kuhny saw that she thought was particularly effective was a series of photographs showing a facility's president or staff manager demonstrating the proper techniques for their facility. "This had the extra benefit of showing the staff that the facility's leadership was strongly behind the infection prevention precautions," she says. Could Succinylcholine Cause Post-op Pain? Patients who undergo minor surgery don't expect to have the debilitating side effect of myalgia from their anesthesia.

A two-dimensional maximum-entropy-based model for the source reconstruction in a monitoring network Abstract This paper deals with the derivation of a two-dimensional model within a new theoretical framework that has been recently proposed for the source localization into a domain where a network of detectors is arranged. Specifically the framework is based on the resolution of an inverse problem (source reconstruction) by employing the maximum Shannon entropy principle. The framework is proposed as a general paradigm for the derivation of a specific model and a sensitivity analysis on the detectors position is addressed. Further applications and research directions are also discussed into the last section of the paper. Published 2018-02-24 Section Articles

But shows you how widespread this sort of stuff must be or MLB would have hammered us even harder for continuing this through oct 2019. Instead, MLB gets their pound of flesh from the Astros (who very well may have been the worst offenders) and let’s the aftershocks pick off a few others (cora, Beltran). The message is heard loud and clear along the way about future repercussions if someone decides to try something again ...and MLB gets to close the book on any other sins in the past and restart clean in 2020 with everyone’s full and undivided attention. Now they just need to step up monitoring to get through the next two seasons (even though you’d have to be a complete idiot to try to steal signs now... but most baseball players aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed) until the CBA expires when you can work on formalizing more teeth for player punishment.

There was Maslin, then Patrick Anderson, and now Richard Rayner at the LAT.

the person defending the second screen. As with any defensive scheme, it is important that all three are aware of what their team mates are doing. The defence will always work more successfully where team mates are acting in unison. x1, x2 and x3 come from quite different positions when the staggered screens are set. Often if Player 3 is a good perimeter shooter, x3 may not be on the split line initially, but may be closer to Player 3. x1 stands on the “low” side of the first screen to stop 3 cutting directly to the basket. x3 moves to meet the cutter as the cut past the first screen, stopping them from curling to the basket. x2 moves to the ball side of the second screen to put pressure on the passing lane. If the cutter (3) does curl to the basket, then x2 can guard that, and x3 can move into position to guard 2 (second screener). Another common tactic is for x2 (guarding the second screen) to switch onto the cutter (3) and x3 switches onto x2. In this action, if 2 cuts to the basket before 3 is in position to guard them, x1 can rotate across to guard 2 and x3 guards 1.

Will chicken feed hurt lambs ? Hi, I'm wondering if anyone know if our 2 new 9 week old lambs can get ill if they eat the chickens feed. They have separate pens but are in the same run area during the day and have access to each pen. It may be too high in Copper. Thank You, in doing some reading I was thinking that same thing and I can't find the ingredients list tag. Copper is toxic to sheep and can build up in their systems and kill them.

Never doubt James Gunn. I should have always remembered that, although I knew heading into Guardians of the Galaxy that it would be good. Gunn has never let me down and I have been a fan since Slither (and also enjoyed his earlier work with Troma which I discovered later). The guy is just a gifted filmmaker with a wicked sense of humor (see: PG Porn). However, while I knew he would be great with story and humor and characters, I never dreamed he could make a movie that looked this amazing. And I never thought Guardians of the Galaxy would be this damn funny. Guardians of the Galaxy starts out on Earth with Peter Quill as a young boy. His mother is dying of cancer, and after he accepts a present from her but refuses to hold her hand when she asks, she dies and he races outside broken hearted. That is when he is abducted by a spacecraft and we flash to the present day. Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) now lives as a Ravager, a thief who scavenges different planets for artifacts that he then sells to the highest bidder. He looks and acts like Indiana Jones, but he is basically a thief. He works for the leader of the Ravagers, a man named Yondu (Michael Rooker) and believes he hits the mother lode when he finds an orb that an evil Kree named Ronan (Lee Pace) wants. Now, don’t worry about if you don’t know who the Kree are, because that is not really important at this time in Marvel movies. Basically, the Kree are an alien race who are very, very powerful, and for the purpose of Guardians of the Galaxy, have a peace treaty with the planet of Xandar, which is where the intergalactic police corps known as the Nova Corps are located. Ronan is a renegade and fanatical Kree who wants to destroy Xandar and the orb that Quill finds can help him do that. If you have seen Captain America: The First Avenger, The Avengers and Thor 2, you know about the Infinity Gems. This is one of those and everyone wants to get this orb for one reason or another. Gamora (Zoe Saldana) is sent by Ronan to recover the gem, although she has plans to betray him and take it to The Collector (Benicio Del Toro) for safekeeping. There is also a bounty out for Quill by Yondu after Quill goes into business for himself and two bounty hunters – a genetically created raccoon-looking being named Rocket (Bradley Cooper) and a tree-like creature named Groot (Vin Diesel) – want to cash it in. This leads to a big fight where they are arrested by the Nova Corps and put into prison where they meet the fifth member of their soon-to-be ragtag group – a monstrous man named Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista). It is here that the Guardians of the Galaxy are born and then the movie really kicks into hyper-drive. Guardians of the Galaxy is arguably the best Star Wars movie since the original trilogy. This movie is just a blast of fun, with the Guardians doing everything they can to keep the orb out of the hands of Ronan, while avoiding going back to prison, and trying not to kill each other at the same time. Throughout the entire movie, the characters really shine through, and there is barely a weak character in the group. Only Gamora gets the short stick, and she is still an interesting and fun character. However, Chris Pratt proves in this movie that he is going to be a huge star in Hollywood. He is self depreciating, funny and full of confidence all at the same time. Bautista was shocking in his role. Drax is an alien who has no sense of humor at all and is completely devoid of irony. Everything he says is factual and that adds to the unintentional comedy that the character finds himself in. The highlights of the movie have to be Rocket and Groot. Rocket has been called the heart and soul of the team. He is clearly the smartest person in the room and can do just about anything mechanically although he also loves to blast people with big guns and shoot off one-liners. Groot only says three words – “I am Groot” – although those words can mean just about anything. The animators ruled the world with Groot as his facial expressions kill at the perfect moments in the movie. He is so funny from start to finish. The bad guy is a bit disappointing as Ronan is a little too much like the Dark Elf Malekith from Thor: The Dark World. As a matter of fact, the two villains are interchangeable and there is little difference between them at all. Marvel is going to need to work on making more unique villains in future movies or all the space alien bad guys will start to blend together. Luckily for Guardians of the Galaxy, this movie is really not about beating this villain. Guardians of the Galaxy is a movie about a group of five losers (“you know, people who have lost something”) have to learn to band together, trust each other, and become heroes. Not one of these five people were born a hero, or ever had any reason to become a hero, until this movie. With that task, James Gunn worked magic and created a superhero team that might be more interesting than even The Avengers. The soundtrack is a delight, filled with classic songs from the 70s and 80s. The reason for the songs is also worked in nicely as they are on a mix tape that Peter’s mom made for him so he could listen to the songs that she grew up loving. It is his prized possession and is something that he would give his life to protect. The movie was always going to be good, James Gunn and Marvel guaranteed that. However, I never believed that the man who directed Slither and Super would make a movie that was so polished and perfect looking as Guardians of the Galaxy. The space battles were great, the alien worlds looked perfect and the action was perfectly choreographed. James Gunn proved here what his fans have always known – he was a diamond in the rough and just needed to have someone give him the chance. Marvel gave James Gunn that chance and he just knocked it completely out of the park. Guardians of the Galaxy might not be the best Marvel movie to date (that is either Winter Soldier or The Avengers), but it is easily the most entertaining Marvel movie they have made so far. If you just want to have fun at the movies, laugh a lot, and enjoy a great story with fantastic characters, Guardians of the Galaxy is the best thing going in cinemas right now. Pretty much what I thought of the film. Marvel really broke the mould on this one- a film that is vying for replacing Captain America as my top fave of the series.

What goes on the grill on the glorious Fourth? A glorious steak, if you're lucky. Nothing's easier to find in a supermarket than steak, but there are steaks and then there are steaks ... and then there are still more steaks. If you go online, you'll be surprised how many Internet sites will overnight you a steak or two, and you can choose particular breeds of cattle (Angus, Hereford, White Park, Limousin, Piedmontese), raised in Montana, Nebraska, Iowa or California, and raised to be organic or nonorganic, cornfed or partly grass-fed, ultra-marbled or ultra-lean. There are places that will sell you a quarter, a half or even a whole steer. Needless to say, you can also order over the phone. As for prices, they range from a bit above supermarket level to staggering. * Harris Ranch runs a giant feedlot in Coalinga. If you drive Highway 5 to the Bay Area, you can see cattle lounging around on it clear to the horizon. Harris feeds on grain a minimum of 120 days and ages 21 to 25 days. It sells choice beef, the usual supermarket grade. Harris Ranch beef is available in quite a few markets around California. * Livingston Meats is one of oldest businesses in Livingston, a town on the Yellowstone River in south-central Montana. It's a small operation that sells only choice grade Montana-raised beef, range-fed and finished on grain. * M. Lobel & Sons, on the Upper East Side of New York, has been around since 1840. Stanley and Leon Lobel have published several excellent books on meat, the most recent being "Prime Time: The Lobel Brothers Guide to Great Grilled Meat" (Macmillan, 1999). Lobel buys prime Midwestern beef and offers porterhouse steaks in 22-, 36-and 48-ounce sizes. We ordered the 36-ouncer. * Peter Luger Steak House, established in 1887 and widely considered the best steak restaurant in New York, has a resolutely old-fashioned attitude about meat. "Many meat companies claim to have only the leanest beef," says its brochure. "We find that this makes for the worst eating. In the Peter Luger world, fat is good." It also uses cornfed Midwestern beef and sells only dry-aged (36-to 38-ounce) prime porterhouse steaks and (25-ounce) sirloin strips. An order comes with two bottles of Luger's tomato-based steak sauce, which has a dash of horseradish, making it a bit like seafood cocktail sauce, and a package of milk chocolate coins. * One of the two co-founders of Niman Ranch (no longer involved) was Orville Schell, author of a book opposing the use of hormones and antibiotics in raising animals and now dean of the graduate school of journalism at UC Berkeley. This Bay Area ranch (which also buys from other ranches around the country that follow its procedures) is the most politically correct of meat suppliers, donating to a list of eco-charities. It differs from most operations in slaughtering older animals (20 to 24 months, as against the more usual 12 to 14), so the prime meat is an unusually dark red. Niman also salts the carcasses after slaughter, which reduces the body weight 10% by drawing out liquid, and ages them as long as a month. The taste comparison posed a couple of problems because the steaks weren't of equal thickness. The Livingston steak, cut half an inch thick, should be seared at a high temperature to brown the surface without overcooking the interior. The taller steaks, such as the Peter Luger (2 inches) and especially the Lobel (3 inches)--which the Times Test Kitchen staff nicknamed "Shaq"--should be cooked a little longer than usual (unless you like your steak not only rare but cold in the middle) and at a slightly lower temperature. For the record, we grilled the Harris Ranch steaks 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 minutes on a side, the Livingstone 2 minutes. The Peter Luger took 10 to 12 minutes on a side, the Lobel a total of 30 minutes, turning it around on all sides. The Niman strip steaks cooked in 2 1/2 minutes to a side, the filets 12 to 15 minutes total, turning on both sides. * Harris Ranch: Choice grade, not prime, so you had the usual steak flavor, a bit dry and chewy. * Livingston Meats: A little more moist and flavorful, but it was so thin it needed careful cooking. * Lobel: An excellent old-fashioned prime steak, juicy and flavorful, though it seemed not as marbled as the Luger steak. One problem: Its thickness made it a little hard to cook medium rare. * Peter Luger Steak House: There was a subtle herbal flavor in this luscious steak, something almost like oregano. It was a very well-marbled piece of meat; every bite was juicy and the beef flavor spread and lingered in the mouth. The filet muscle was particularly buttery. * Niman Ranch: The strip steak was well-marbled and flavorful, with a pleasing gentle chewiness. It was in the same league as the Lobel and Luger steaks. The filet was distinctive: marbled, though not as much as the Lobel or Peter Luger, with a velvety texture and a very beefy, almost bloody taste that practically shouted "steer." To several tasters, this was the best steak of the tasting; to others it was delicious but not exactly steak-like.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — A Knoxville-based manufacturing company has landed a contract with SpaceX. National Partitions’ President says that working with the company has been a dream for years. National Partitions will be building a two-story facility for SpaceX’s research and development department’s 3-d printers and engineers. The company manufactures modular construction pieces. Their president compares the pieces to industrial-sized legos because the pieces allow buildings and rooms to be built and expanded quickly and easily. The components also are reusable. National Partitions has made buildings for Tesla, GM, Ford, Pfizer and Moderna.

"I understand people's frustrations," Obama said, while acknowledging that he's never had to undergo the stepped-up screening methods. "I think the American people are worried when they see an administration worried about reading Miranda rights to the underwear bomber," Jindal said. "[They're] so worried about rights of the terrorists, what about the rights of innocent American travelers? "I think the Israeli model, which a number of people have talked about, uses intelligence in a different way, profiling. . . . That is top-notch security. The question is, do we profile here in the U.S.? No, we don't" "the enhanced screening shows the TSA is "headed in the wrong direction as far as who they're screening and how they're doing it." The TSA controversy isn't just some random, isolated snafu from the left. In fact, it's becoming standard operating procedure for team socialism as NY Times points out. Remember air force one terror scare in NY or how about trying KSM in NYC. This is just November's version of business as usual for the Democrats and it is merely a feature, not a consequence, of Nanny State Government dogmatic policies.

This experts tips post has expedient answers from an Amazon Affiliate Marketer cum Blogger, Chris Guthrie. My hearty New Year wishes for you to achieve your goals with great efforts. I always need your support to grow my blog and here is a beneficial expert’s tips post for you. If you are interested to make money with websites and through Amazon as an affiliate, the information listed by this expert would help you to do so. Who is that expert? He is Chris Guthrie from entrepreneurboost.com. I have contacted him through his blog’s contact form, he admits my request to give answers for my expert’s tips category post and he gave his detailed replies within a day. Let me speak about his details now. Chris Guthrie is a great internet marketer and super Amazon Affiliate. He is the founder of enterprenuerboost.com where he used to write about the internet marketing tactics like buying & selling of websites, make money with Amazon, how to build & earn with niche websites and so on. He got into blogging just to spend his spare time and started to make thousands of dollars from the website he built. So he left his job as he decided to share his experience on a blog to help the people who want to make money through websites. So through his blog, he used to share case studies with real numbers that he has successfully done to make money online. Chris Guthrie worked as a game tester with Microsoft and he built his successful project, a forum for gamers in the year 2005. Then he started doing really well in Amazon’s Affiliate program in 2009 and later he released his Amazon WordPress plugin “EasyAzon”. He has been earning money with websites since 2005 and then he turned into a six figure income maker in 2009. He had written two books named “How to make money as an Amazon associate” and “Buying websites – How to invest in online real estate” and you could buy these books through Amazon.com. If I continue his intrepidness, then this post would be too long which might make you tired before reading his accurate replies for my questions. Now read his real reactions! 1. What inspires you to do blogging? Are you exactly a blogger or affiliate marketer? I spent several years in building websites while struggling to find success. After many failures, I started to string together successes, and ultimately I started my blog so that I could help cut down the learning curve for others that are just getting started. I make money from affiliate marketing and also from blogging (and several other things) so I think of myself more as a marketer/internet entrepreneur. 2. Tell something about WordPress blogging and its plugins. Tell about your WP plugin too. WordPress is one of the top content management systems in the world with over 20% of all websites running on the platform. I’ve been using WordPress since 2007 and because of how flexible the platform is (with support for plugins, themes etc) I’ve gotten into creating plugins for the platform as well that solve problems that I know other bloggers are having. 3. I checked your 2 books on Amazon for sale, can you explain about the books in detail? Yah, so I’ve got two Kindle books right now and I have plans to write more of them. One book has written about Amazon affiliate marketing and outlines various successful strategies I’ve learned over the past several years as a successful Amazon affiliate. I’ve earned over $100,000 in commissions as an Amazon affiliate so I wrote the book to help make it easier for people who are interested in getting started with Amazon’s affiliate program. Then the other book is about buying and selling websites. The first website I ever bought was $500 and I’ve made over $7,000 from that website. Since then I only buy websites in the $10,000 on up range and last month I actually sold one of my sites that I bought for under $15,000 for $42,000 and I made ~$30,000 while I owned it as well. So that book just outlines various strategies for buying and selling websites. Buying sites can be extremely risky because websites are pretty risky assets so I cover a lot of that as well in the book. 4. I hope that you might have fixed some goals in your internet marketing career. Did you reached those or still working on it? After achieving your goals, what would be your future plans? My main goal was to be able to work for myself which I’ve been doing for over 4 years now and in my first full year of self employment I made over $150,000 (which was over double my salary at my higher stress sales job). Beyond that I’ve been able to continue to grow my income and my next main goal is to hit 7 figures in profit in a year. Admittedly I’m still quite a ways off from doing that but that’s my next primary goal. For me it’s not really about the money though it’s more about being able to have control over my destiny and to be rewarded for the level of work I put into what I do and as an entrepreneur there is more of a connection between how hard you work (if you’re working on something scalable) than there is at a day job where you sort of run into caps no matter how hard you work. 5. Tell your secret of success with Amazon and also let us know some good resources (Blogs) where you used to visit daily to expand your knowledge. The biggest secret is that Amazon isn’t the answer for everything. The most common mistake people make is to try and take a monetization method (like Amazon’s affiliate program) and tie it to a website and then get frustrated when they have no success. So what you really have to do is find a niche that is applicable (for example a product review website) and then create content that fits that niche. So the main thing really is niche selection. I picked a good niche and then just worked really hard on making the best website in that niche so that’s why I was able to eventually sell one of my top Amazon websites for over $100,000 a few years back. 6. What is your opinion about “Online money making”? There will always be people making money on the internet. The best part about it is that you can do it from anywhere in the world. While I haven’t gone so far as to move to an inexpensive country (like Thailand) to maximize the value of my dollar that is something I could do if I wanted to. Instead I move south of Seattle, WA and bought a house for $130,000 instead of staying in the area I was at and buying a house for $500,000 (same size house basically – Seattle real estate is expensive). So because I can work from anywhere I choose an area still somewhat close to family but where the value of the real estate was more realistic and actually worth buying. Without getting too far into it, we all know that some areas of the country are overpriced in the country for real estate and it always makes more sense to rent than buy (New York is the best example, but Seattle is like that as well). I delighted with your precise responses Chris, thank you so much for accepting my request to provide some useful answers for my readers. I am grateful to you for spending your treasured time for contributing your replies to my expert’s tips category post. @ readers, If you want to learn from live examples of successful website, I suggest you to take the free course by Chris Guthrie on how to earn money with websites.

Chris, you’ve really come a long way in your internet marketing. Making a six-figure income online is not easy. I really commend your hard word and dedication. Success comes through hard work and focus. I can see you are an authority in Amazon affiliate marketing. People must have a lot of trust on you and what you promote to patronize you to the point of making such heavy profits annually. Developer of a WordPress plugin? Oh my God! You must be a man of many parts – marketer, developer, writer, etc. You must be working round the clock to earn those successes. I love your hunger to break more fallow grounds, especially the desire to start earning seven-figure income in the coming years. Where there is enough hunger, the success would surely come. I haven’t read any of your books, but let me ask you this question. Is it advisable to source out projects for your Amazon affiliate sites or you should do it yourself? And if sourcing is advisable, where are the best places to get very good hands to help out? Thanks for sharing your expert tips with us here. I must say I am indeed motivated reading this post. Nirmala, thanks also for featuring this great expert on your blog too. I wish both of you Happy and Prosperous 2014. You are one if the top blogger whom the comment is seen on every blogger blog.

I own the 20mm f2.8, but i'm gonna sell it to amazon because I never use it anymore. It's only really jacket pocketable (not pants pocketable) with a pancake lens, but if I'm wearing a jacket then it's just as easy to wear it around my neck, either over or under the jacket. I'd rather wear it and keep a better lens on it than pocket it with the 20mm. And speaking of 50 f1.4's, I just bought a FD 50 f1.4 along with a generic Canon FD -&gt; Sony E focal reducer (speedbooster) adapter. I'm still waiting for the speedbooster to arrive, but once it's here It will make the lens act like a 50 f1.0 on my nex-6. I can't wait to try it out.

Distr. GENERAL A/CONF.151/26 (Vol. III) 14 August 1992 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH REPORT OF THE UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE ON ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT (Rio de Janeiro, 3-14 June 1992) Chapter 40 INFORMATION FOR DECISION-MAKING INTRODUCTION 40.1. increasingly on sound information: (a) Bridging the data gap; (b) Improving information availability. PROGRAMME AREAS A. Bridging the data gap Basis for action 40.2. While considerable data already exist, as the various sectoral chapters of Agenda 21 indicate, more and different types of data need to be collected, at the local, provincial, national and international levels, indicating the status and trends of the planet's ecosystem, natural resource, pollution and socio-economic variables. The gap in the availability, quality, coherence, standardization and accessibility of data between the developed and the developing world has been increasing, seriously impairing the capacities of countries to make informed decisions concerning environment and development. 40.3. There is a general lack of capacity, particularly in developing countries, and in many areas at the international level, for the collection and assessment of data, for their transformation into useful information and for their dissemination. There is also need for improved coordination among environmental, demographic, social and developmental data and information activities. 40.4. Commonly used indicators such as the gross national product (GNP) and measurements of individual resource or pollution flows do not provide adequate indications of sustainability. Methods for assessing interactions between different sectoral environmental, demographic, social and developmental parameters are not sufficiently developed or applied. Indicators of sustainable development need to be developed to provide solid bases for decision-making at all levels and to contribute to a self-regulating sustainability of integrated environment and development systems. Objectives. Activities (a) Development of indicators of sustainable development. (b) Promotion of global use of indicators of sustainable development. (c) Improvement of data collection and use. (d) Improvement of methods of data assessment and analysis. (e) Establishment of a comprehensive information framework 40.10. Governments should consider undertaking the necessary institutional changes at the national level to achieve the integration of environmental and developmental information. At the international level, environmental assessment activities need to be strengthened and coordinated with efforts to assess development trends. (f) Strengthening of the capacity for traditional information. Means of implementation (a) Financing and cost evaluation. (c) Scientific and technological means. (d) Human resource development. (e) Capacity-building 40.16. All countries, particularly developing countries, with the support of international cooperation, should strengthen their capacity to collect, store, organize, assess and use data in decision-making more effectively. B. Improving availability of information Basis for action 40.17. There already exists a wealth of data and information that could be used for the management of sustainable development. Finding the appropriate information at the required time and at the relevant scale of aggregation is a difficult task. 40.18. Information within many countries is not adequately managed, because of shortages of financial resources and trained manpower, lack of awareness of the value and availability of such information and other immediate or pressing problems, especially in developing countries. Even where information is available, it may not be easily accessible, either because of the lack of technology for effective access or because of associated costs, especially for information held outside the country and available commercially. Objectives 40. Activities (a) Production of information usable for decision-making 40.22. Countries and international organizations should review and strengthen information systems and services in sectors related to sustainable development, at the local, provincial, national and international levels. Special emphasis should be placed on the transformation of existing information into forms more useful for decision-making and on targeting information at different user groups. Mechanisms should be strengthened or established for transforming scientific and socio-economic assessments into information suitable for both planning and public information. Electronic and non-electronic formats should be used. (b) Establishment of standards and methods for handling information 40.23. Governments should consider supporting the efforts of governmental as well as non-governmental organizations to develop mechanisms for efficient and harmonized exchange of information at the local, national, provincial and international levels, including revision and establishment of data, access and dissemination formats, and communication interfaces. (c) Development of documentation about information 40.24. The organs and organizations of the United Nations system, as well as other governmental and non-governmental organizations, should document and share information about the sources of available information in their respective organizations. Existing programmes, such as those of the Advisory Committee for the Coordination of Information Systems (ACCIS) and the International Environmental Information System (INFOTERRA), should be reviewed and strengthened as required. Networking and coordinating mechanisms should be encouraged between the wide variety of other actors, including arrangements with non-governmental organizations for information sharing and donor activities for sharing information on sustainable development projects. The private sector should be encouraged to strengthen the mechanisms of sharing its experience and information on sustainable development. (d) Establishment and strengthening of electronic networking capabilities. (e) Making use of commercial information sources. Means of implementation (a) Financing and cost evaluation. (c) Capacity-building 40.29. Developed countries and relevant international organizations should cooperate, in particular with developing countries, to expand their capacity to receive, store and retrieve, contribute, disseminate, use and provide appropriate public access to relevant environmental and developmental information, by providing technology and training to establish local information services and by supporting partnership and cooperative arrangements between countries and on the regional or subregional level. (d) Scientific and technological means 40.30. Developed countries and relevant international organizations should support research and development in hardware, software and other aspects of information technology, in particular in developing countries, appropriate to their operations, national needs and environmental contexts.

Home/Europe/EPP Group calls to re-evaluate Switzerland as high-risk money-laundering country Over the weekend, a bunch of worldwide journalists launched the findings of an investigation that factors to large issues with anti-money laundering practices in Swiss Bank Credit Suisse. For Markus Ferber MEP, the EPP Group’s Spokesman within the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee : “Bank privacy laws must not become a pretext to facilitate money laundering and tax evasion. The “Swiss Secrets” findings level to large shortcomings of Swiss Banks relating to the prevention of cash laundering. Apparently, Credit Suisse has a coverage of trying the opposite approach as an alternative of asking troublesome questions.” “European and Swiss banks have close ties, anti-money laundering deficiencies in the Swiss banking sector therefore also pose a problem for the European financial sector. When Swiss Banks fail to apply international anti-money laundering standards properly, Switzerland itself becomes a high-risk jurisdiction. When the list of high-risk third countries in the area of money laundering is up for the revision the next time, the European Commission needs to consider adding Switzerland to that list.”

Of Dharmanandan, Diamonds And Dress!!! Contributed by Suresh Manoharan on Feb 28, 2015 (message contributor) Summary: Taking a 360 degree view on the subject "Robes of Righteousness"!!! Of Dharmanandan, Diamonds and Dress!!! Breaking News!!! Auction results are out!!! The gorgeous navy blue suit our Honorable Prime Minister wore to receive US President Barack Obama recently went under hammer on 20th Febraury 2015. With feisty bidding, diamond baron Lalji Patel owner of a Diamond Manufacturing Firm-Dharmanandan Diamonds in Surat- stamped his ownership on the same which has the PM’s full name- Narendra Damodardas Modi- embroidered into the pinstripes. After this high-profile auction Modi's Mr Patel’s prized possession was brought in a procession to Dharmanandan Diamonds factory at Gotalawadi in Katargam, Surat. While it is indeed in order for the entire Dharmanandan Fraternity to be justifiably proud about having this prestigious dress in its possession, let’s turn our spotlight now on a totally different type of a garment albeit of immeasurable value which enhances not only the “Feel Good factor” of its wearer exponentially but guarantees eventually the concerned individual the priceless Eternal life. Let the Prophetic Scripture which speaks about the Song of a forgiven sinner of the Church age take over… “I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For He has …arrayed me in a robe of His righteousness…” –Isaiah 61:10. For better understanding of the subject –Robe of Righteousness- here comes this message “tailored” by Yours Truly all for the Master’s Glory using the following sub-headings… GRACE… What is this robe of righteousness if it is not the very presence of God’s own Holy Spirit. When it is “with us”, we get “Righteousness” meaning a “Right standing” with God. Ah…Lalji Patel, while posing for his photographs with the Modi mannequin incidentally said, “Now, I could touch and feel the fabric and experience the presence of PM Modi standing by my side." While it cost a hefty sum for Mr Patel to become proud possessor of PM’s pulchritudinous apparel, it is purely out of Almighty’s grace that “Robe of Righteousness” is given to an individual absolutely free of cost who comes seeking the right relationship with the Divine Redeemer. How? Read on… GRIMY… First things first. Being related to our original sinning parents –Adam and Eve- all of us are born with“grimy attire”, so to speak, the one which is totally unacceptable to the Holy God. Whilst being alive (Heb 9:27), we need to be “robed with robes” worthy of entering the Divine, Holy presence, otherwise we would not only be left alone in this Cursed World (Gen 3:17/Rom 8:19-22) to fend for ourselves (hmmm…living without God in this big bad World is really a frightening proposition) but also be condemned and cast away permanently from His Holy Presence at death. A Disclaimer here please…the Sovereign, Almighty Creator does not give His priceless Robes of righteousness to everyone but reserves the right to grant the same to only those who approach Him for them on His terms. And why not? For He has paid a “heavy price” to give it to us in the form it is now!!! When He says, “Come to me replacing your grungy clothing with clean ones’ of infinite value, I myself shall provide for you free of cost”, we need to listen and obey Him implicitly. What happened to the poor man of unkempt clothing who participated in the Royal wedding without wearing clothes (befitting the occasion) provided to him free of cost by the Regal Host (Matt 22:12)? Let not our end be like his. ILLUS...Whilst on the subject of clothing…Dr Ravi Zecharias came up with a true witty story of a New Zealand Shepherd who was happy on a Christmas morning, sad in the afternoon but once again happy in the evening. What exactly contributed to his mood swings? Here goes…in the morning two of his ewes’ “A” and “B” gave birth to two lambs “a” and “b” respectively which brought joy to his heart understandably as his flock-size grew. However by afternoon he was sad and confused not only because one mother ewe “B” and one baby lamb “a” had died but also because surviving mother ewe “A” was now refusing to feed suckling lamb “b” when the latter was brought to it for feeding. By evening the Shepherd was smiling ear to ear because finally “A” accepted “b” but only after the Wise Shepherd had cut the skin of the dead lamb “a” and had put it on “b”. Father God also accepts us only when we come to Him clothed with Holy robes of His Sinless Son Jesus Christ who died on the Cross giving us access to the same (2 Cor 5:21/John 14:6). GREAT… The clothes of Salvation is Biblically called Great (Heb 2:3) by the writer of the Epistle to Hebrews because amongst other things, it is not only free (none needs to dole out 4.32 crores for it), it is not only easily accessible (as close as our own hearts and mouths-Romans 10:8-10 TLB) without any need to travel say a 1000 kms from Surat to Delhi but primarily because it cost our great Saviour (Titus 2:13) a great price to give it to us in the form it is now. The Epistle Writer goes on to warn “How can we escape, if we ignore this great Salvation” (Heb 2:3) for it would mean we are treating the immeasurably great sacrifice of Christ as nothing.

Natural gas spot prices surged upward in the past three days, bringing price levels significantly above those of a week ago (Wednesday, March 24) in all regional markets. At the Henry Hub, the price for spot gas increased $0.28 per MMBtu on the week (Wednesday-Wednesday, March 24-31), or about 5 percent, trading yesterday at $5.63. Taking over as the near-month futures contract on Tuesday, March 30, the NYMEX contract for May delivery moved up sharply, ending trading yesterday at its highest-ever settlement price of $5.933 per MMBtu. EIA reported that natural gas inventories were 1,014 Bcf as of Friday, March 26, which is 7.7 percent less than the preceding 5-year average for the week. Despite anticipation of yesterday's OPEC decision to curtail oil production by up to 1 million barrels per day, the spot price for West Texas Intermediate crude oil declined on four of the five trading days of the week, trading yesterday at $35.75 ($6.16 per MMBtu), down $1.31 per barrel ($0.23 per MMBtu) on the week. After price declines lasting more than a week, the spot market launched a run of three straight days of sharply rising prices on Monday. Prices have risen consistently for three days at virtually every market location in the nation. Net increases ranged from a quarter to nearly a half-dollar per MMBtu. Increases tended to be largest in the Northeast and Midcontinent, and smallest in the Rockies. Yesterday (Wednesday, March 31), the average price at all Northeast locations was $6.18 per MMBtu, an increase of 40 cents over last Wednesday's average. Average prices in the Midcontinent, West Texas, and at California locations moved above $5 per MMBtu to $5.36, $5.13, and $5.26, respectively. Modest weather-related swing demand in some areas of the nation provided some support for cash prices. Temperatures over most of the East Coast were cooler than normal beginning over the weekend, while heat in the Southwest and West Texas generated demand for space-cooling, requiring some increase in gas-fired electricity generation. In California, the heat coupled with some power plant outages caused the state's Independent Systems Operator to call a Stage One power alert on Monday afternoon. Nonetheless, few industry observers believed that increased industrial and weather loads were sufficient to account for the sharp and steady price increases. Two other factors cited were the recent strength in the futures market and the perception that many industry participants are aggressively refilling storage inventories. On the NYMEX, the April contract expired on Monday, March 29, with a 3-cent loss, after spending the day trading within a less-than-6-cent range, settling at $5.365 per MMBtu. This is just 2.6 cents less than its settlement price on its first day as the near-month contract on February 26. Since becoming the near-month contract on Tuesday, the May contract has surged upward by $0.451, settling yesterday at $5.933 per MMBtu, its highest settlement price thus far in its 71-month life. Its price increase on Tuesday was likely influenced by increasing futures prices for crude oil and petroleum products, but it continued to rise yesterday as these other commodities were falling. The May contract may be deriving some support from near-term temperature forecasts. The latest from the National Weather Service calls for below normal temperatures for nearly the entire nation east of the Rockies, and above normal temperatures west of the Rockies, through the middle of April. Working gas inventories were 1,014 Bcf as of Friday, March 26, according to EIA's Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report. This is 84 Bcf, or 7.7 percent, less than the preceding 5-year (1999-2003) average for the week (See Storage Figure). For the second week in a row, implied net withdrawals in the East region were partially offset by implied net injections in the Producing and West regions. The resulting total implied net withdrawal for the week of 18 Bcf is about 30 percent smaller than the 5-year average net inventory change for the week. Significantly warmer-than-normal temperatures across roughly three-quarters of the nation (See Temperature Map) (See Deviations Map) reduced demand for space heating, allowing net injections into storage in the Producing and West regions. Additionally, the recent significant positive spread between futures prices and the Henry Hub spot price likely provided additional incentive for storage injections. On the other hand, the cooler-than-normal temperatures that prevailed in the Southeast, parts of New England, and the upper Midwest maintained some space-heating demand in these areas, likely influencing withdrawals in East region storage facilities. Federal Government Agencies to Study Artificial Reef Effect in Deep Water Gulf of Mexico. The Minerals Management Service (MMS), in partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Office of Ocean Exploration (NOAA OE), awarded a contract to investigate the long-term effect of manmade structures on the deep sea, and conversely, the effect of the environment on those structures. The contract was awarded under the auspices of the National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP), with MMS providing $350,000 towards research costs and NOAA OE providing 18 days of ship time, a deep submergence remotely operated vehicle, and personnel for both. The study is intended to examine the basic question of whether manmade artificial structures or objects such as shipwrecks or offshore petroleum platforms can function as artificial reefs in deep water. Although there is not yet a complete understanding of how artificial reefs function on the continental shelf, particularly in the photic zone above 100 meters, it is generally accepted that artificial reefs can serve a positive function by the creation of new hard-bottom habitat in areas where hard-bottom is naturally lacking. This can be important in the Gulf of Mexico, which has a natural bottom that is a flat plain, largely comprised of mud, clay, and sand with very little natural rock bottom and reef habitat. Without artificial reefs, fish and marine life typically would become widely dispersed. In the Gulf of Mexico converting offshore oil and gas structures into artificial reefs on the continental shelf has been accepted as a benefit to fisheries; 49 structures have been converted from a total of 383 structure removals between 1999 and June 2002. However, in the deeper waters beyond the shelf, additional information is needed to evaluate the significance of a deep-sea artificial reef effect. Spot and futures prices moved up strongly in the past few days. The futures contract for May delivery reached a record-high settlement price on Wednesday, March 31 ($5.933 per MMBtu), while regional average spot prices exceeded $5 for all regions outside of the Rockies, especially in the Northeast, where spot prices exceeded $6. Working gas inventories towards the end of the heating season remain more than 1,000 Bcf.

khalid, 24 Sep 2008can any n82 owner / user tell me how good the gps performance is. from the gsm arena review it... moreGenerally the GPS is OK but sometimes it is taking more time to lock on to the GPS signal.In highways and open areas it instantly locks on to GPS. This is the best day of my life!!! I won a brandnew N82!!! waaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! My cam/video is more stable but holding down the 0 key still does not take me to web???? I use Garmin Moblile XT on my N82 and works better than nokia maps. I have the black version since 5 months now, and the only thing i can say is: this is the best candybar cell phone ever made! Very good picture quality and video recording...amazing specs and not to expensive $470USD new unlock! But now I'm waiting for a new touchscreen phone from them! just got my 16gb hc card sandisk,,my n82 performed worse under v20 with 0 key not working to hold and press to get on net,,flickery unstable ca/vid screen,,ages to change themes and once got onto web if i presed buttons to fast to get to sites the fone just goes back to home screen.. Going to update to v30 today to see if it cures these faults but going to get xperia shortly so n82 will just be back up fone.. can any n82 owner / user tell me how good the gps performance is. from the gsm arena review it is really bad. so i am asking all of you experts. and how fast is it without using AGPS. i really need to know. cheers. The N9* series seems to have more profound features. The N93 can print notes ( office folder ) and SMS. For some reason they excluded this feature in the N82. I realised that if one practised, a reasonable typing speed could be reached. Thus short lecture notes could be typed on the phone and printed afterwards. It is not a great idea to keep everything on the phone. Hard copies mean you don't have to be wasting battery juice perusing a small screen all day. Who knows, maybe they've installed it in the new firmware. It is a supervb phone in all aspects. I didn’t put anything in it. Like I said I just bought it and got the message "start-up failed contact retailer". How can I format it? I can’t access it. can somebody tell me the animated sms serial key. 5 or 9 digit. the new firmware is awesome. I like "Maps" it is different. improvement on the auto-rotate as well. New Mill, 23 Sep 2008Hello, I bought N82 (Black one) 2 days ago. When I turned on, it kept rebooting then a mes... morethis happen when u have installed many application & games in your mobile. i face this prob. in n73 when i installed 100 games & some appliction. These are my recommendations for the upgrade to the N82, although on account of the bigger screen it will more likely fit into the N9* series. 1) Increase the screen size to at least 2.8 inches. 2) Implement VGA res for the screen. 3) Include spell checker and copy and paste features in the browser. 4) install a more conventional keypad so that we can text more easily. I call it the "Four I" recommendation plan! Anonymous, 23 Sep 2008hello old users, my version still reads: v 10.0.046. am i far behind?yup, Pretty OLD. Upgrade it, if things go perfectly then U will enjoy it more & more. what's the name of the song that is played when you use picture slide show ? jonny, 23 Sep 2008pls old n82 users,how do i use my flash as torch and alsoas a video light?Xenon flash can't be used as torch.

Chemotherapy resistance in breast cancer: new factors identified In various types of cancer, many tumors are resistant to cancer treatment. For example, in luminal breast cancers (the most common type of breast cancer), a major problem is resistance to chemotherapy. This resistance involves regulation of expression of many genes. To better understand this phenomenon, Martin Dutertre, Inserm researcher in the Biology of the RNA, Signaling and Cancer team led by Stéphan Vagner (Inserm U1278 and UMR 3348 CNRS), along with Iris Tanaka (PhD student at the University of Paris Saclay), have studied the role of gene regulation in alternative splicing. Alternate splicing of transcripts allows most human genes to code for several different proteins. A phenomenon that we have been aware of for more than a decade that plays a role in cancer, but whose role in resistance to treatment was little explored. Splicing networks control the resistance Utilizing an in vitro cellular model of doxorubicin resistance in luminal breast cancers, the team studied alternative splicing across the genome using RNA-seq. "Some studies have found that a gene with alternative splicing modified in resistance. But they were always isolated. This time, the study is pan-genome and mechanistic." As a result, scientists have pinpointed more than 1,700 alternative spikes associated with resistance. Better yet, the team found two splicing factors, called ZRANB2 and SYF2, which each control about 100 alternative splicings, and which control the resistance. Alternative splicing as markers of resistance to chemotherapy The team was particularly interested in an alternative splicing located in the ECT2 gene and controlled by both ZRANB2 and SYF2. In vitro and in vivo analyses (the latter in the Translational Research Department of Institut Curie) indicate that ECT2 alternative splicing plays a role in doxorubicin resistance. In addition, analysis of a large collection of breast cancers, in collaboration with Ivan Bièche (Pharmacogenomics unit, Genetics Department of Institut Curie) has shown that this alternative splicing is associated with poor prognosis, specifically in the luminal type and in patients treated with chemotherapy with epirubicin (doxorubicin). This work, published in the Nucleic Acids Research journal, opens up new perspectives. On the one hand, concerning the biological role of the factors identified and their potential interest in other cancers: These factors appear to control the ability of cells to slow down their DNA replication in the presence of stress, yet a similar phenomenon has been observed in cancer stem cells, which are resistant to chemotherapy. On the other hand, the systematic study of alternative splicing in treatment-resistant tumors should aid in understanding the gene networks involved and identifying markers of resistance, and potentially, new therapeutic targets. Martin Dutertre started this type of analysis (conducted at Institut Curie) on a collection of chemotherapy-resistant breast tumors.
