which size are the JST plugs? Yes! I love the small size. Have any builders tested these? I think I read somewhere it´s 1.5mm JST plugs, not 2mm like usual. Right? I checked the website and it says 135€. Is it correct that shipping will be free? yes, Shipping FOR FREE! Did you consider to send some units to respected and experienced users from this forum to get a review how they perform under real life conditions? that´s the best way to show of the quality of this ESC to the community. Can you recommend it to me, who can measure this ESC? If you can help me with post evaluation, I will send you a sample for free. @mmaner @b264 @Sender @taz @DerelictRobot are a good choice to get a representative feedback. I´m not sure how much time they have at the moment, so you would need to ask them in a person if they would be ready for a review. I could do a review as well if you want. Please consider that who ever will do that, will need two of them as we usually run dual drive set ups. I already got 2 on the way. I'll hit u back once i recieve em. They are 1.25 mm connectors, Molex Picoblade or JST-GH (micro JST) will fit. The male connectors on the MINI FOC are PicoBlade compatibles the JST-GH should fit somewhat snug, too. would you mind to add your first impression here as well. If I remember right, you already received your escs. I bought one and will try to test it in he near future, with a small commentary like review. I still however have to come up with some kind of load tests (any insight for which methods to use please tell me), that I can perform on a repeatable manner with more or less what I have on hand. I think it would be already helpfull to know which motors you will use them with, your battery and motor settings and if possible some live data from metr for example. like this we direclty see how much current you was drawing and how the themperature was about at this time. I will copy pasta now what I had posted in the .builders forum so far. Some pictures with commentary. So to conclude, the XESC 6.6 has an issue/flaw by design. It isn't capable to delive more than ~45A, which is pretty devastating considering size, wheight and cost. <-So a no go. The XESC 6.6 is removed from the shop now, EBMakers dealt quick and appropriately with this problem in my opinion. I purchased the "Super mini Makerx ESC" from them and got it on the last week. I didn't tested it yet because I'm a bit bussy lately. And I also had difficulties to get a test setup with telementry (metr pro) running because I missed/forgot that they use different (smaller) connectors (I think/hope that these are JST-ZH 1.5mm connectors we will see when mine arrive). Anyway I made some pictures for a quick closer look (maybe an review when I got everything running) on the -in my opinion- more interesting "MakerX mini FOC" . A nice touch, (I guess) they use some kind of routing packaging service for shipping to Germany, this way the package slipped through customs. I didn't had to paid tax or VAT for this one:wink: just the 135$ with quite fast (6 days) free shipping. The ESC came well packaged in the small box whith proper antistatic foam+shelding bag. As silverline said about the 6.6 single the casing is an all aluminum nicely sandblasted and anodised (I love that kind of finish). It is also well labeled (It strongly remids of stewii's ESCape labling which, just so good tp read and such a clean look) It came with these accessories: 3 matching bullets for the motor wiring, a female XT60 for BAT to match the presoldered ESC, connectors with 5 cm of cable for PPM(3 pin) and hall(6 pin) [? at leastI guess that] and also the usual cheap micro usb to usb-A. And now just as a comparison and to get a feel for the tiny size (I don't had a banana for scale and forgot to make a picture with something well known like a 18650) a Flipsky FSESC 6.6 (the one with housing and pushbutton Antispark) Anyway the "mini FOC is really cute" . I didn't made a picture but I also weight the mini FOC with plugs, cable and it's heatsink housing the mini FOC weighs just 86 g and is really small . Now the internals, they don't look bad even the small resistors are well soldered (even though some joints would be a bit happier with a tiny bit more flux, but we all know there is never enough flux). The curcuit board is well cleaned but not conformal coated (something I will add once it proves to meet my expectations in testing) *please curse me for making a picture in horizontal mode and sorry for the distortion The heatsink/casing was thermal padded on both sides on expected heat sources, the compression overall OK but I think they should try to accommodate thinner thermal pads for better conductivity (thermal pads are not really well conductors after all) Now a quick glance on the connectors, they are marked on the board when possible (it is on the casing anyway) but mostly not because it's so tight on the board. As I said these are not the usuall JST-PH 2.0 mm but instead something smaller, I think and hope it's a JST-ZH connector type 1.5 mm but it could also be a GH (1.25 mm) or SH (1.0 mm) I'm not really sure the time will tell (when my connectors arrive). I have to admit that this ESC isn't planed to be used on an esk8 but on a reasonable sized ebike hub motor instead. It is reserved for my nicely looking NSU, just as a sweet everyday commuter. To get caught with an ilegal DIY ebike is way less likely than with an esk8 after all in germany (I will keep and ride my boards, calm down, just commuting will be with this one) **EDIT 31th of May 2019 : ** So far I can tell that the MINI FOC works as expected. I did the normal setup procedure with a PSU just fine and played a bit with one of my batteies. I used it only with my hub motor so far. And now I'm waiting for some PicoBlade equiped cables. In the meantime @YUTW123 from EBMakers informed me that the MINI FOC that I (and a few others) have are a little bit flawed. One trace is a bit undersized and in their lab testing setups that draw more than 50A for more than a few seconds tend to burn (50A is only possible with improved/forced cooling for more than spikes anyway but @YUTW123 is right, 20-35A is plenty for moderate non "insane" builds) They adviced me(us) to reinforce the curent capabilities on that trace like in this picture, I think the now shipping MINI FOCs will be delivered reinforced and maybe they will improve the design in the near future. I put some solder on top of that trace all along that trace (top and bottom of the pcb) so you know. These kind of beta testings and problems are a bit annoying and maybe EBMaker should had tested and figured all that before shipping but they informed me and others quite fast and honest. It's no big deal for myself 50A is basicly out of spec anyway. BTW I only use 10S batteries on my projects if possible, usually without a BMS and charge always with a balance charger to 41V for my few projects. I have a icharger 4010 DUO and a icharger 3010b+ with strong DIY Server PSUs (which like to mess with cheap USB cables nearby which is why I usually don't use my big 24,5V 2,4kW DIY server psu for any setups) Good info, we all appreciate it. @YUTW123 I'd be happy to test for you. It's what I'd do, test new gear and post the results. PM me and we can set something up. Yeah, silverline did at jasons forum.Heres the link if you re still interested. …hahaha edit: i saw im a bit late, but anyways. He purchased the XESC 6.6 (big single ESC 100A) from EBMakers which is pulled from their store now. It has a design flaw, Silverline got refunded. The MINI FOC is a different ESC. yeah ok, don't wanted to spread false information, but i think Brian will read the thread i posted anyways, so all good. Yes I got a refund, all good… Looking forward to read about the mini

Kat & Satoshi's eating and traveling adventures around Japan (and sometimes Hawaii) Friday, May 27, 2011 flourless chocolate cake I'd never tried making a flourless cake before so thought it would be interesting to try. Instead of preparing a pan like the recipe says, I took the easy way out and did this in muffin papers. Whenever I make muffins I usually only make 6 because it fits nicely on my turntable to bake, but I figured at least 8 would be the right proportion for an 8-inch pan, so I bake the extra 2 with muffin papers in ramekins. (originally from Gourmet magazine, Nov. '97) 4-oz dark or bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped 1/2 cup butter 3/4 cup sugar 3 large eggs 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 cup cocoa powder (pref. dutch process) Preheat oven to 375F. Line an 8-inch cake pan with parchment paper and lightly grease. In a small, microwave-safe bowl, melt together chocolate and butter, stirring with a fork until very smooth. Pour warm chocolate mixture into a medium mixing bowl with sugar. Whisk to combine. Beat in eggs one at a time, waiting until each has been fully incorporated to add the next, then mix in vanilla extract. Sift cocoa powder into the bowl and whisk until well-combined. Pour into prepared cake pan. Bake for 25 minutes. Allow cake to cool in pan for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edge of the cake and invert onto a serving platter. Dust with cocoa powder, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container. NOTES: I used 70% chocolate. This is rich and chocolatey (think dense brownie) and the size is perfect to soothe a sweet tooth. Next time I'm adding nuts! Thanks again Kim! It is Friday here, and our area has started the rainy season, hope you have a great weekend! 11 comments: - Japan Australia said... Yeah, flourless chocolate cake is really popular at the moment. I hear it is typically a lot richer than regular chocolate cake. Japan Australia - 9:00 AM, May 27, 2011 - Rowena... said... Looking at the issue date was like a flashback! It was probably around that time when flourless chocolate cake was the rage on every restaurant's menu (either that or chocolate mousse), served alongside a small puddle of creme anglaise. I know that I made my fair share of 10-inch rounds. Those were the days! - 3:08 PM, May 27, 2011 - K and S said... really rich J-A!

A slice is just way too much richness to handle. :) - 11:58 PM, May 28, 2011 - K and S said... Thanks Jalna! Fresh fruit would definitely be nice, K! Thanks Pocky! It was still rich as a muffin but it felt more like you were eating a piece of brownie :) Take care everyone! - 9:52 AM, May 29, 2011 - Nami @ Just One Cookbook said... I heard about flourless cake, but I haven't made one. Looks great and I totally agree that adding nuts seems like a great idea! Oh look so delicious!! Wanna have a bite... - 3:57 PM, May 30, 2011 - K and S said... really easy to make Nami, hope you get a chance to try :) Take care. - 2:26 PM, May 31, 2011 - Joy said... I love the recipe. - 11:30 AM, July 01, 2011 - K and S said... Thanks Joy! Take care. - 1:28 PM, July 01, 2011

You're located in category: Last in Microids' lackluster trilogy of skiing games is Super Ski 3, which boasts significant graphical improvements over the previous two games in the series, but unfortunately not playability. The best feature from Super Ski 2 is left intact: the tournament takes place in different locations around the world. You can practice in any event before the tournament, compete solo against the computer or friends. Similar to the previous 2 games, player animations are not as smooth as Accolade's game, but they are decent, and the controls are easy to learn. Unfortunately, the game is still much more difficult and less playable than Winter Challenge. You view the action from third person perspective instead of first person, so judging the distance is trickier. Also, there are more obstacles and curvy paths in most events, so fast reflexes are required. Overall, Super Ski 3 is a disappointing winter sport game that could have learned from the playability and excellent user interface of Winter Challenge. Although the controls and graphics are a big improvement over Super Ski 2, they did not improve enough to warrant anyone's attention. Not recommended, unless you just want to complete your Microids/winter games collection.

State Rep. Tom Oliverson says his race for Speaker of the House is moving "to the next level," after Dade Phelan narrowly avoided defeat in Tuesday's runoff. In March, Oliverson announced his candidacy for Speaker and promised a series of reforms, including ending Phelan's practice of awarding chairmanship positions to Democrats. Though Phelan won re-election to his southeast Texas House seat last night, whether or not he will be speaker again has yet to be determined. In a statement on Wednesday following the election results—which saw numerous incumbent Phelan allies defeated—Oliverson promised to take the vote to the floor of the House. "Last night's results made clear that Dade Phelan will be returning to the Texas House as a member. The only thing left to decide is whether he will be returning as Speaker," said Oliverson. "The conservative Republican majority in Texas have spoken. They want the Texas House to move in a different direction. They are fed-up with the status-quo and are clamoring for change. The fact that 9 GOP members decided not to seek reelection and 14 members were replaced by the voters proves that point." Oliverson put speculation that there will not be a contested speaker vote to bed: I want to reiterate so that everyone is clear – I intend to take the fight all the way to the floor. I will ensure that Republican members will have the opportunity to declare their preference and cast their vote for the status-quo or a new direction. The Republican Majority will get the chance to go on the record as to whether or not they choose to continue to be ruled by Democrat Chairs, sit idly while House leadership wastes the first 60 days of the Session, chafe under a parliamentary system that is weaponized against them, suffer another Session without votes on key conservative priorities, and watch as leadership kills their bills over petty personality differences. "The Speakers race should begin by nomination in caucus of the majority party – not a brokered backroom deal that empowers the tyranny of the minority. My campaign for Speaker moves to the next level today," he added. Thus far, only Phelan and Oliverson have announced their intention to run for Speaker of the House, though Republican State Rep. Shelby Slawson, who is rumored to be considering a run, recently wrote an op-ed in which she compared Phelan to an arsonist attempting to be fire chief.

Lard, when used in soap making, has very good moisturizing abilities for our skin. It is also a good cleanser, and it lathers well, producing large, creamy bubbles. The finished bar is very white, and is a good soap to add color, or leave it natural. While it would make a soft soap by itself it is cost effective as a base oil when combined with other oils. You will need to add fragrance to a lard based soap. Here are three bars of soap I made with Lard as the bulk of the recipe. Along with the Lard I added: cocoa butter, coconut oil, Shea butter, and Sunflower oil, and a fragrance oil. Fresh Water Linen Fresh Water Linen Cut Sample of bubbles.... Winter Woodland or Tiramisu or Tuscan Rain? Haven't decided on the right name for this soap. Any suggestions? The scent in it is 'Feliz Navidad' fragrance oil from Brambleberrry.com, but the formula has been changed and it smells a bit different from the original scent. It is still a nice luscious smell, but it just doesn't match what I wanted. Bubbles galore! Autumn Comfort Forgot to take a picture of it in the mold. And more bubbles! Everyone of these soaps have the same base oils with Lard. By using different natural colorants and fragrance oils you can make them into any beautiful bar that you want! Have a great weekend!

A HAUNTING IN VENICE is out in theaters and this time the Hercule Poirot movie is made as a crime-horror genre movie. As always, there are plenty of familiar faces in the cast. Read our full A Haunting in Venice movie review here! A HAUNTING IN VENICE is being released in movie theaters worldwide. If you're a fan of the Hercule Poirot crime stories, you'll obviously be ready to go watch it. If you're also a fan of the horror genre, there'll be something extra to look forward to. This time the whodunnit story is storytelling in the vein of crime-horror. And yes, you can clearly sense this shift. The vibe is much darker and the sinister camera angles are meant to keep us suspecting everyone as well. The latter is almost to a fault, for me, but it is a classic horror trick. Also, there are quite a few jump scares. Personally, I found the jump scares less effective, while the sinister and dark atmosphere is much more efficient. Continue reading our A Haunting in Venice movie review below. The movie opens exclusively in US theaters on September 15, 2023. Unfortunately, not that big a rush Although Kenneth Branagh should be praised for creating a very eerie and sinister atmosphere in A Haunting in Venice, the movie as a whole isn't much of a rush. In fact, parts of it seem decidedly clumsy or even forced. I didn't feel this way with the two previous Hercule Poirot movies so that was a change for the worse. Overall, it does also result in a crime-horror movie that just isn't all that great. And it could've been so much better than the sum of its parts. Normally, the viewer (or reader of the original book) is shocked and impressed – even dumbfounded – by Hercule Poirot's ability to discover and deduce his way to all the answers. However, this time around, a few of the important clues seem to almost have a spotlight pointed at them. Now, not only Poirot will notice the clues. We all will. This results in the viewer being neither surprised nor terribly impressed when Hercule Poirot (Kenneth Branagh) reveals all the connections that lead to finding the culprit. One shouldn't be this relaxed during a crime-horror Despite a really wonderful cast, where Tina Fey especially delivers a biting portrayal of a tough crime writer, who constantly pokes fun at Hercule Poirot, it feels a bit like a TV movie. A good TV movie, admittedly, but something is missing to really make this movie into something bigger and bolder. In fact, it was such a relaxing viewing experience for HorrorDiva that her FitBit registered over an hour of its runtime as a solid nap. And no, she wasn't asleep or even dosing off. She was just very relaxed. I'm sure most will agree that no one should be that relaxed while watching a whodunnit story made as a crime-horror movie. I mean, if that doesn't say something about how ineffective many of the jump scares were, I don't know what does. Watch A Haunting in Venice in theaters As always, these Hercule Poirot crime novels are based on stories by the iconic Agatha Christie. The screenplay (or adaptation, if you will) was written by Michael Green, who also wrote the previous two films. Michael Green has also been nominated for an Oscar for Logan and co-authored the Blade Runner 2049 screenplay, so he knows how to build stories that get under your skin. However, this is very much a Kenneth Branagh film. As always – one is tempted to say – that means he both directs and plays the lead role. Whether you like him or not, you have to admit that he is incredibly good at staging himself. Maybe not always good at getting the best result, but he's definitely with skills. I'm not trying to suggest he isn't a very capable filmmaker because he clearly is. I just can't help but think that other directors could've made the jump scares more efficient – and less repetitive! In addition to Tina Fey, I must also highlight Michelle Yeoh, who made a really good impression with her performance. As always! Unfortunately, she doesn't get a hell of a lot of screen time. This is due to the nature of the story and the rather large cast with many characters to cover. And yet, Michelle Yeoh was the one who really managed to deliver some sinister horror in that deliciously terrifying way we crave.

Get daily celeb exclusives and behind the scenes house tours direct to your inbox Love Island winner Dani Dyer's boyfriend Sammy Kimmence is facing jail after pleading guilty to scamming two pensioners out of almost £34,000 by posing as a financial advisor. The 24 year old, who welcomed a baby with Dani in January, appeared at Portsmouth Crown Court on Monday morning where he admitted to the crime. He had pleaded not guilty to the charges last week, but changed his plea as he made his latest appearance in court. Portsmouth Crown Court heard how Sammy's victims were legitimate clients from an investment company where he used to work, with him taking them on when the business stopped operating. It was then that he falsely claimed to Peter Martin, 90, and Peter Haynes, 80, that he was authorised to provide financial services, taking £33,919. After pleading guilty to five counts of fraud, Sammy was told by the judge how his offence were serious enough to cross the custody threshold and could land him a prison sentence. Sammy was seen leaving court in a black blazer and pair of trousers, alongside a white shirt and navy blue tie with white patterning. He wore a disposable face mask and carried a takeaway cup of coffee as he was snapped by photographers. For the latest showbiz reports and breaking news visit http://www.ok.co.uk/celebrity-news.

By Supervisor Gordon Mar With the plan to reopen San Francisco becoming clearer, as more businesses and activities can resume with modifications in phases over the coming weeks and months, we must also plan for San Francisco's economic recovery. During this unprecedented health emergency, we are also facing an economic emergency. Renters are struggling to pay rent, homeowners are struggling to pay mortgages, small businesses are struggling to survive, and all of us are struggling to adapt to our new normal. Nearly 100,000 San Franciscans have filed for unemployment since we declared a state of emergency. This too is now a state of emergency for laid-off workers. The pace of our unemployment crisis is faster than any since the Great Depression, erasing more than a decade of job gains in just a couple of months. I introduced two pieces of legislation to address our unemployment crisis to help San Franciscans get ready and back to work. First, I introduced the Workforce Education and Recovery Fund, a charter amendment I hope to place on the November ballot, to ensure that nearly 100,000 unemployed San Franciscans can upgrade their skills and get back to work as soon as possible. This fund would invest in City College of San Francisco to maintain and expand education and workforce training. These investments should be central to our City's economic recovery strategy. City College provides the most comprehensive offering of vocational training and adult education programs in our City, and it is tuition free to all San Francisco residents. Second, I introduced the Back to Work Emergency Ordinance. This emergency legislation will ensure that laid-off workers are the first ones offered their jobs through a fair process, if and when their employers re-open and start to re-hire. If their job isn't available but another job is that they are qualified for, they will be offered that instead. And, while they are laid off, they'll be notified of city resources that can help them weather this storm. Workers deserve economic certainty. And it's a win-win-win scenario. When public health allows, businesses will be able to re-open faster by bringing back staff that is already trained and ready to go, benefiting their business, their customers and our entire City. And in light of the COVID-19 public health and economic crisis, it is more important than ever that our city services are effective, accountable, transparent and trustworthy. More of us are relying on city services than ever, and with a looming deficit, fiscal accountability is all the more important. Meanwhile, our City is still reeling from public corruption scandals that continue to unfold. Recent ethics investigations have implicated the directors of three city departments, two commission presidents, an additional commissioner, plus a prominent city contractor, a permit expeditor and a billionaire developer. We need structural reform to address the culture of casual corruption and pay-to-play politics and make our City more accountable, effective and transparent. So I introduced another charter amendment to create the San Francisco public advocate, a new elected position responsible for investigating and eliminating public corruption, waste of taxpayer money and abuse of the public trust. This is a long-term solution for a long-term problem. It shouldn't take FBI investigations by the Trump administration to address corruption in San Francisco. And it shouldn't take decades to root out corrupt officials. The public advocate will address this crisis as it must be addressed: locally, proactively and structurally. For further accountability, I also wrote a unanimously passed resolution calling for more data reporting on COVID-19 transmission among vulnerable populations, including nursing home residents, LGBTQ community members and others living in congregate facilities. Despite the fact that nearly half of California's COVID-19 deaths are from nursing home residents and staff, San Francisco is not reporting transmission data at these or similar sites. These residents are especially vulnerable to this pandemic, and we need better data on how COVID-19 is impacting them. The LGBTQ community disproportionately experiences homelessness, incarceration, and housing insecurity. Where data is made public, it shows the community has disparate public health outcomes. Yet nobody is collecting, tracking or reporting full Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) data for COVID-19 transmission. If anyone can and should lead on this, it's San Francisco. We've also been focused on how best to prepare our neighborhood for the next steps through reopening and recovery. With the People of Parkside Sunset and Sunset Mercantile, I'm proud to announce the launch of the Outer Sunset Farmers Market and Mercantile, starting July 5th! The Outer Sunset Farmers Market and Mercantile is a weekly market featuring farmers, ranchers, food artisans and vendors, makers, merchants, artists and local organizations. With strict adherence to public health guidance, this new weekly community event will help support our neighborhood's small businesses and local artisans, while connecting community, local commerce, and causes with festive, family-friendly events. Our office funded this new market and has worked closely with neighborhood leaders for the past year to plan and prepare for its launch. We're so excited to bring this new weekly event to our neighborhood and encourage everyone to go to sunsetmercantilesf.com for more information. We're also proud to announce the District 4 Mobility Study. Prior to the global pandemic, I asked the Transportation Authority to conduct the District 4 Mobility Study to explore ways to increase opportunity and access to sustainable modes of transit in the Outer Sunset and Parkside neighborhoods. While driving has dramatically decreased everywhere, we have the opportunity to plan for more mobility options in D4 in the future in order to support sustainability and economic vibrancy while reducing congestion. The outcome of the study will include specific recommendations for transportation service, projects and programs – and we want to hear from you! For more information and to get involved, visit http://www.sfcta.org/projects/district-4-mobility-study. I'm proud District 4 has led the way on safer streets during shelter-in-place – from the Great Highway to Slow Streets to bike share – and we're excited to continue hearing feedback and ideas from our community on how we can best use and improve these spaces going forward, and make adjustments as needed. Even as some public health restrictions are loosened, it will be a long road forward in restoring and rebuilding our transit service, and we will need to continue to explore ways to make the most of our streets – and we want to hear from you on how we can best do that. These streets belong to all of us, and all of us should help decide their future. Don't hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected], or to call us at (415) 554-7460. We're here to serve you, and we're all in this together. Gordon Mar represents District 4 on the SF Board of Supervisors. He can be reached at (415) 554-7460 or [email protected].

InfoSecBuzz asked a number of security experts for their advice on the top security threats and how to avoid them. These are specialists from Alienvault, Cylance, Cybereason, F5 Networks, Kaspersky, Tripwire, and more. Quite a few warned against the same things, so here is a quick summary of the Top 10 security threats, with a link to the full article at the end. - Today, phishing scams are skyrocketing, especially driven by deals and rebate offers. Don't open any attachments or click on links appearing to be from trusted vendors you shop with. Go directly to the website of the vendor looking for the sales and deals. - Do not use ATM/debit cards online, only use credit cards and think about a voluntary limit, or at least a text when a purchase gets made. - Delivery- and non-delivery scams. Watch out for emails that confirm shipments or that try to scam you with shipment problems. - Don't fall for deals that are too good to be true on Black Friday weekend and Cyber Monday. Increase your security awareness levels, and maintain a healthy skepticism when you see special offers in email or social media. - Watch out for fake discount coupons, and fake "game codes", that are nothing but a nonsense string of letters and numbers. - Keep an eye out for online credit card collection imposters. You might stress out because of your high credit card bills, and bad guys are sending emails that claim to be from the credit card company claiming your account is overdue and is subject to being shut down unless you make a payment immediately. You may be tricked in giving away your credit card information. - Holiday Ransomware: You should understand that information—e.g. order confirmation emails— on your computers increase in value over the holiday season, and that means that you are more likely panic and pay ransom if ransomware strikes. - Be very wary when you get an inbound phone call, never give out any personal information if you did not initiate the call yourself. - Avoid downloading anything from questionable websites. Disable popups on your devices by using trusted, reliable popup blockers. - If you suspect that you may have entered your credit card data into a fake website after all, immediately call your credit card company and cancel your card. Then change your passwords and pin-codes for your online banking sites. Use strong passwords and never use the same password for several websites or services, because if one is stolen, all of your accounts will be put at risk. To create strong passwords without having to remember them, use a password manager. Here is the link to the full article, and be safe out there!

Throw in recent cross chain developments covered previously by $RUNE, the Cosmos IBC communication layer, and the launch of $STG which claims to solve the "Bridging Trilemma" and we have a lot to sort through moving forward. While the bridge wars sort themselves out, what is clear is that users want cross chain applications and interoperability. While many claimed the demise of bridges this week, Synapse ($SYN, bridging protocol) highlighted exactly why that is not the case displayed in the demand/use of their bridging services as DFK transitioned to an AVAX subnet and users bridged ~$500M over night. Direct to NFT Creator(s) Investing (working title). Yuga's recent funding will exacerbate the trend but Parallel and Pixel Vault were some of the first to take direct invest to build out their NFT ecosystems a trend we'll see accelerate. The combination of an ever-increasing number of funds to deploy capital, the onboarding and pace at which NFTs are accelerating, and recent slowdown/dilution of new ERC-20 token protocols will continue to increase the number of direct NFT investments. Crypto Raiders, Battlebound, Cross the Ages and Crypto Unicorns are some of the examples we've seen in recent weeks. Azuki & the 20E floor Azuki is the talk of CT, and rightfully so. During their event at NFT LA, Azuki prompted holders to check their wallets where they found two airdropped NFT crates titled Something Official that have since transformed to piles of dirt, TBD on what they develop into. Building off of that momentum, and what is clearly an incredibly talented and innovative team, Azuki broke the vaunted 20e floor Thursday night and has continued to rally. Several notable projects (Clone X, Doodles, Cool Cats, Clone X, NFT Worlds) have approached the 20e floor but quickly rejected it while Azuki used 20e as escape velocity. Azuki launched on January 12th @ a 1e mint price with a current floor of ~28e (99k) and is a reminder of the demand for quality NFT projects, displaying the rapid pace they can appreciate at. token recap (7d returns): many of the tokens covered in the previous two weekly recaps continue to outperform, so for more information on what is potentially driving their prices you can find it in those posts as to not be repetitive.

Infrastructure investments, decentralized and centralized, has been a recurring theme throughout these weekly recaps (and Ansem's quarterly reports s/o) as crypto adoption increases so does the underlying infrastructure usage. As covered in the weekly recap last week, JEWEL announced partnerships with Synapse, POKT, and AVAX previously. Axie and Ronin, as expected, were some of the poorest performing tokens this week on the heels of the $625M hack. A combination of social engineering and horrible security led someone to compromise 5 of 9 Ronin validators allowing someone to withdraw 173,600 ETH and 25M USDC. Details are sparse as to how exactly the hack and social engineering occurred, along with unanswered questions as to why the network wasn't automatically checking and validating assets controlled. The hack occurred 6 days before the team was made aware by a user unable to withdraw 5k ETH. Ronin has since replaced the compromised validator nodes and Axie has delayed the launch of its anticipated "Origin" upgrade to April 7th.

Drought in the Horn of Africa has left 12.4 million people in need of help.

Apr 23, 2009 I love my family... they are loving and kind and supportive and oh my, just a little bit crazy! I love them for the silly little moments that make us such an awesome little 'family unit' such as tonight... as we are serving up dinner and we all hold hands to say grace and somehow start doing the hokey pokey... oh yes, you heard right.. We were singing and dancing... and doing the hokeiest of all pokeys! (and the youngest of us is 16!) We threw in 'McAllanisms'.. "you put your maaang in, you put your maaang out" and we put our maang in, and we shook it all about! I love the laughter that arose, because we realized we are just SO silly! And for the smiles that showed we know that what we have together is just so special. These simple moments make me so thankful for this sweet and slightly crazy family I have been placed in! and yes we did eventually get around to saying grace ;) 5 comments: Haha you guys are great!ReplyDelete I must see this family randition of hokey pokey one time... Put it on you tube maybe?

The browser module are unobtrusive widgets that "weave in" behaviors on DOM elements, typically reflecting the "V" layer in MVC. Widget delegates all interactions with the underlay DOM element, interfacing by hub topics and DOM events. Since widget is ultra lightweight and open-ended thus can easily embrace any data binding or rendering implementation. TroopJS widgets are kind of components created by dom.component.widget that is attached to a single DOM element and is to destroy along with the removal of the DOM element. A jQuery DOM element is referenced by it's $element property, In addition to having a special constructor, DOM widget also specialized in delegating all DOM events with the "dom" specials, or subscribes to hub topics with the "hub" special, through both ways components can communicate with each one, while depending on different usage scenarios using "dom" or "hub" could be different: The "dom" special signature takes the form of dom:selector/type, where selector is an optional CSS selector that matches the target element and type is just the event type, equivalent to this jQuery event delegation call - this.$element.on('type', 'selector', handler). The following exemplify a simple widget that facilitates both DOM and hub events: Imperatively draw the relationship between component and DOM element is obviously not the best, which leads to highly coupled code with HTML structure, and can easily becomes a maintenance hell. Weave in terms of TroopJS is defined as the process of instantiating a widget component, starting it's life-circle and to associate with an DOM element, TroopJS inverse the control by declaratively map between the component module and associate DOM element via a custom HTML attribute data-weave, this is coincident with the Web component concept where internal presentation and behaviors of the HTML element is completely transparent to outside of the element and can be altered with ease. declarative weave widgets are created through a custom HTML attribute data-weave on any element, where the attribute value is string that points to one or more widget's module id. The following HTML code declares a simple widget to weave: Then it's the containing element of the above HTML, that is responsible for weaving in the widgets as soon as: By only declaring the widget DOM it's not get instantiated yet, also it's always up to your decision on when to actually start weaving them, there exists a few options for you to kick off weaving: You can weave by just calling the dom/loom/weave function, passing the jQuery object as argument: Alternatively TroopJS extends all loom methods as jQuery plugins, it is straight forward to weave all elements of a jQuery object by simply calling Eventually if you're lazy and don't want to be bothered by weaving manually, TroopJS proxies the following jQuery DOM manipulation methods on widget scope so whenever you call them TroopJS weaves all the descendants DOM elements afterward: The proxy methods, instead of returning a jQuery chain-able, will instead return a promise that is to be resolved with all woven widgets: Not only a single widget can be weaved on an element, multiple widgets could be sharing the same element, implements different features that eventually composed as layers. The following example that weaves two widgets that plays the submit and validation behaviors correspondingly on an element: A DOM widget is considered to be stopped, either because it's underlay element has been removed from the DOM tree, or because you have intentionally called {@link browser.component.widget#unweave} as $('#foo').unweave(); so unweaved living widgets that are found on this element, which will basically cleanup everything before detaching it from the DOM element (include data attributes and DOM listeners), if the widget has no other references it will be garbage-collected. When you unweave, in case you don't always have to unweave all living ones on the element, there's also attribute that TroopJS will check beforehand to selectively unweave only a certain widgets, e.g. the following code remove only the "validation" widget on element while remains the form submitting widget functional. There must have to be some bootstrapping code that actually call weave for DOM elements always, TroopJS constructs a special widget dom/application/widget for this role - the only guaranteed singular application container per page, which takes care of: Other than regular widget that receives the DOM element as first argument, which could be either html or any root element that makes sense for your app, the application constructor should relieve a list of components instances in starting order, application will start them in sequence and then to weave all widgets found in DOM tree descendants.

Hello all! I just wanted to take a minute to try to express the gratitude that I have felt this past weeks. This week has been one of the hardest that i have yet faced. I have been overwhelmed by the love and support I have felt from my family and friends in this difficult time. I have been comforted in knowing that He is so mindful and watchful. Always close never far. I have faith in His plan and I know that me getting sick is not a surprise to Him its a surprise to me. One of my favorite scriptures throughout my mission has been D&C 84:88 "and whoso receiveth you, there I will be also, for i will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angel round about you, to bear you up." It was always a great comfort to read those words and know that no matter where I was in the Philippines and what kind of a day He was never far from me. I have witnessed this as I've been sick and have come home. I have been overwhelmed by the love and support He has given me through His Heavenly messengers. I know that He puts people in our lives for a reason. We were not put on this earth to walk alone. We are surrounded by His love. One of my favorite quotes by Thomas S. Monson goes like this... ""Though the storm clouds may gather, though the rains may pour down upon us, our knowledge of the gospel and our love of our Heavenly Father and of our Savior will comfort and sustain us and bring joy to our hearts as we walk uprightly and keep the commandments.There will be nothing in this world that can defeat us. My beloved brothers and sisters, fear not. Be of good cheer. The future is as bright as your faith." I know this to be true. I am so gratefully for our loving Heavenly Father and the opportunity to serve Him in the Philippines. It has brought more joy and happiness than I could have ever imagined. I don't know what my future holds but I do know that His hand is guiding the way. Let us all move forward in faith and trust in His plan. Thank you again for all of your love, support and prayers! Medical Update: I am getting a CT scan tomorrow of my lungs and am meeting with a Pulmonologist Monday. We are eager to receive some answers and get me healthy once more!

Earth Changes US: Myrtle Beach area fire still seething, but containment efforts are paying off The Sun News Sun, 26 Apr 2009 04:38 UTC A study in contrasts, a pristine slate house on Woodlawn Drive stands in front of a landscape of charred trees and blackened soil. The burned soil sits within 15 feet of the home's neat garden, and firefighters huddle near a truck watching the smoldering plumes, vigilant in case they should flare. With a total of 76 homes destroyed in a wildfire that began Wednesday afternoon, emergency workers focused Saturday on continued containment and preventing refires. At about 8 p.m. Saturday about 85 percent of the blaze was contained, said spokesman Scott Hawkins, with the state forestry commission. Most major roads except S.C. 31 have been reopened and all shelters have closed. The reported number of acres damaged fell from about 20,500 acres to 19,600 acres Saturday due to better access to geographic informations system mapping data, Hawkins said. US: Study documents new, rare creatures in Smokies Asheville Citizen-Times Mon, 27 Apr 2009 04:47 UTC Known formally as tardigrades, water bears are microscopic, eight-legged creatures that exist in sediments and soils. Though they occur nearly everywhere on earth, few scientists have bothered to study the species. That has left the field wide open for Paul Bartels, a biology professor at Warren Wilson College. Bartels and his students have discovered 78 species of tardigrades in the Smokies, including 18 new to science. Magnitude 5.3 earthquake rattles Romania and Moldova Taiwan News Sun, 26 Apr 2009 04:21 UTC Romania's Institute for Earth Physics said the quake struck at 8:25 p.m. in the Vrancea region, about 75 miles (120 kilometers) northeast of Bucharest at a depth of 75 miles (120 kilometers). Institute director Gheorghe Marmureanu said it was felt in Bucharest, in the Black Sea port of Constanta, in the central city of Brasov, in the city of Iasi in northeast Romania, and at the port of Galati in easternmost Romania. It was also felt in Moldova which borders eastern Romania. 6.1 Magnitude Earthquake Hits off New Zealand North Island Sun, 26 Apr 2009 04:17 UTC No casualties or damage were reported. Swarm Savvy: How bees, ants and other animals avoid dumb collective decisions Science News Mon, 27 Apr 2009 01:37 UTC Seeley, at least voice-wise, stays polite and treats this as a serious question. Which it is. Of course honeybees don't have a banking system, but they do exhibit collective behavior. The queen bee doesn't decide what the colony needs to do. Instead, each colony member does her or his bee thing, and out of hundreds or thousands of interactions, a collective decision emerges. Seeley's next book, due out in 2010, will be called Honeybee Democracy. Bangladesh: In search of fresh water New Scientist Sun, 26 Apr 2009 22:19 UTC Now photographer Munem Wasif has brought to light another growing problem that is already affecting hundreds of thousands of people in the Satkhira region of south-west Bangladesh: increasingly salty groundwater. See Wasif's images. This rise in salinity has been caused by a shift from traditional agriculture to commercial shrimp farming. The latter can generate a lot of money for a fortunate few, but for most its consequences are disastrous. Once-fertile land turns to brackish water and local people lose access to drinking water and their livelihoods. Unexpected Solar Activity Thu, 23 Apr 2009 06:24 UTC World cooling has set-in warns astrophysicist - BBC & 'Global Warming apologists' challenged to end 'cover-up' Weather Action Sat, 25 Apr 2009 03:04 UTC "In timely backing of the UK Government's £1billion Carbon budget and similar moves in the USA, the BBC and Prof Lockwood of Southampton University distort the facts in an attempt to cover-up the proven centrality of the sun in controlling world temperatures", said Piers. "They make the ignorant and loaded claim that '...Current slight dimming of the sun was not going to reverse the rise in global temperatures caused by the burning of fossil fuels'. This is treble confusion because (1) the world is already cooling even though CO2 is rising; (2) there is no evidence that the burning of fossil fuels ever did or ever will drive world temperatures and (3) reputable and informed solar scientists know that there is a lot more to the sun's influence on the world than its dimness or brightness." AMO and PDO - The Real Climate Makers In United States? Mon, 20 Apr 2009 23:04 UTC Atlantic cooling may presage Arctic ice increase Wed, 22 Apr 2009 22:45 UTC Recent satellite observations from the Arctic indicate that spring ice melting is beginning at a lower rate than normal this year. According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center, the area of ice-covered ocean has decreased only about 750,000 km2 from its peak value at the end of February, compared to a normal decline of 1.1 million km2 by late April. If this trend continues, the annual ice melt in 2009 may be less than in recent years, and the late summer Arctic ice extent may rebound from its well-publicized downtrend.

Serving Chicago since 2012… Let me introduce you to Jaime Jara, the amazing owner, and chef of Breakfast House Chicago! Jaime's love for cooking began when he arrived in Chicago from Ecuador and started working in the restaurant industry. After a decade of perfecting his skills in the kitchen, Jaime decided to create a restaurant that would feel like home for everyone - a place where you could come with your loved ones or just by yourself to enjoy delicious, homemade food and chat with friendly staff. Jaime's dream finally came true in 2012 when he opened his first location in the charming West Town neighborhood. With the unwavering support of his family and friends, Jaime opened his second location in Lake View six years later. Jaime poured his heart and soul into creating a place where customers could savor a diverse menu, inspired by his years of experience and passion for cooking. From classic breakfast favorites to dishes with a Latin twist, Breakfast House Chicago offers something for everyone. Plus, their friendly and welcoming staff will make you feel right at home. The pandemic was a tough time for everyone, and Breakfast House Chicago wasn't immune to its challenges. But the team persevered and even managed to open their third location in the Irving Park neighborhood in December 2020! With take-out and delivery as their only options, the team worked hard to continue serving up their delicious food to their loyal customers. And thanks to the support of those customers, they made it through one of the toughest times the service industry has ever faced. And that's not all! Just six months later, Breakfast House Chicago & Coffee Bar opened its doors in Wrigleyville as their fourth location, continuing their mission to provide great food and an amazing customer experience in a cozy, neighborhood setting. In 2022, they expanded even further by opening their fifth location in Belmont Heights, taking Breakfast House beyond the city limits of Chicago. They didn't stop there! In April of 2023, they proudly opened their sixth location in Belmont Cragin, bringing their amazing food and friendly service to even more people in the area. At Breakfast House Chicago, family is at the heart of everything they do. Jaime's son Diego even came up with the restaurant's name when he was just 8 years old - talk about a creative family! The team at Breakfast House Chicago is dedicated to creating a community atmosphere where everyone feels welcome. And of course, they also take their food seriously! The team is always experimenting with new dishes, and they feature special plates every week to find the perfect additions to their menu. They've even successfully added some delicious vegan options! If you're a fan of chicken sandwiches, you have to try Diego's Chicken Sandwich - it's one of their latest signature dishes! Diego had been dreaming up this recipe for a long time, and with the help of his dad Jaime, they created the perfect sandwich. Plus, with a mix of classic American breakfast options and Latin-inspired dishes, there's something for everyone to enjoy. At Breakfast House Chicago, they believe that food brings people together, and they're dedicated to creating an atmosphere that feels like home. So, whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, they'll always welcome you with a smile and a delicious meal.

Running ASM600 on UNIX This page describes the basic procedure for running asm600 on UNIX to convert from GDSII to Gerber RS274X. STEP 1Assuming we are in the asm600/examples directory, the first step is to start the GUI by typing ../bin/asm600. The asm600 is located in the bin directory of the software. After the menu comes up, select the GDSII file you want to translate (package.gds is our example). STEP 2Click on the first option in the menu Configure Translator. You will be asked to pick an aperture file. You can either pick an existing one if exist, or select a new aperture file name. Once the Configuration menu comes up, you will need to enter some of the Gerber parameters. We recommend using the options as shown in the picture below. If your GDSII file is in English units, you may want to switch the Gerber units to Inch. Hit F8 to save your settings and go back to the main menu. STEP 3From the main menu click on the Select Layers and Structures. This menu will allow you to pick the layers you want to translate, and the cell/structure to translate. By default, the program will translate all the layers and the top cell. Hit F8 to save your settings and go back to the main menu. STEP 4From the main menu click on the Edit Aperture Table. This menu will allow you to edit/create the aperture file. If it is a new and empty file, click on Shift F5 first - asm600 will add a few default apertures. Next, define two POEX apertures as shown in the example below - those will be used to polygon fill all your closed polygons. Last thing is optional and may be used if you want to map circular polygons in the GDSII file to Gerber Flashes. You should do so in case you need to create an Excellon drill file. To do so, you will need to create new Round apertures and specify the diameter of the different pad sizes. Go to an empty spot in the aperture menu, hit the letter F (for Flash), and then Enter. Type in the diameter size, then Enter, then pick Round and again the diameter size. Do the same for any other diameter size you may have in the file. Hit F8 to save your settings and go back to the main menu. STEP 5From the main menu click on the Start Translation, and once done, click on the View Gerber. You should be able to view the Gerber data, and use the viewer to turn layers on/off, zoom to critical areas, measure, plot etc. Creating Drill FilesIf you need to create a drill file, you may do so by clicking on the Aperture button in the gerber viewer. Go to the apertures that were defined as flashes and associate a Drill tool number and Drill tool size as shown below. From the Gerber viewer, click on Tools > Drills > Excellon, and the drill files along with a report will get created in the same directory as the The report displayed will show you how many drills exist in each layer.

An August Read with Jenna Book Club pick, The Comeback, debut novel by Ella Berman portrays a behind-the-scenes look at the not-so-glamourous side of growing up in the spotlight of Hollywood fame. This book tackles tough subjects of sexual assault, drug and alcohol abuse, and crumbling marital and familial relationships. The plot is rather timely in the midst of the "Me Too" movement. Berman's prose is vividly provocative and detailed, causing readers to feel like they are experiencing and seeing things right alongside the main character, Grace. Born Grace Hyde in London, she became Grace Turner after moving to LA at a young age and becoming a teen actress, under the watchful tutelage of famous, beloved Hollywood producer, Able Yorke. Under Able's at first tender and then cruel care, Grace grew up never feeling any sort of love for herself and being told by Able and others that her mental health was unstable. She became known in the industry as Able's muse, controlled by him for 8 years, but all the while she felt powerless and lost, never experiencing a normal childhood or family life. As her most famous starring role in Lights of Berlin is nominated for a Golden Globe award, Grace's destructive behavior of drug and alcohol abuse breaks the final straw holding her marriage to Dylan together, and she left Hollywood without so much as a goodbye, only to return to her parent's home in Anaheim. After a year of existing with no real purpose in a home where she felt like an outsider and threatening to be crushed under the heavy guilt, pressure, and shame of her past, Grace returns to the glass house she shared with Dylan in Hollywood. She isn't sure quite what to do with herself, but she knows she must do something before the real secret behind her crash and burn overtakes her yet again. Grace's younger sister Esme is kicked out of school and starting on a path of destruction as well, bringing her back into Grace's orbit more than either of them planned. Grace also reconnects with her friend Laurel, Dylan's girlfriend Wren, and oddly enough, Emilia Yorke – the wife of the man who both created her fame and stripped away any chance of happiness. Buckle up for quite a twist near the end. Our downtrodden heroine still has the courage and guts to take back her future, and readers will marvel at her tenacity and resolve. The Comeback is a story of many things – fame, addiction, heartbreak, love, but mostly the resilience to come back from the lowest place to find and love oneself again. I would highly recommend this book for readers of J. Courtney Sullivan and Sally Rooney. Thank you to Penguin Random House Audio for a free listening copy of this title through the Volumes app.

After Affirmative Action Win Over Harvard, Group Takes On West Point Authored by Michael Washburn via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), The group that triumphed in a landmark Supreme Court case that struck down affirmative action policies at Harvard University earlier this year hopes to build on the victory with a lawsuit targeting similar policies at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) filed the lawsuit on Sept. 19 with high hopes, but the organization has strayed into a legal and political minefield as the academy and the Biden administration try to block the lawsuit on the grounds that an institution training military officers isn't subject to the same rules as private universities and that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies help, rather than hinder, effectiveness in combat. Largely as a result of the perceived disparity between those standards that apply to private colleges and universities and those applicable to entities under federal oversight, the SFFA faces one of the most formidable legal challenges, the outcome of which will have implications for every school and academy in the nation. Since President Joe Biden took office, a marked cultural shift has been underway in virtually all branches of the military. The Biden administration has forced through policies that promote DEI at the expense of the traditional criteria of combat readiness and the minimization of U.S. casualties, experts have told The Epoch Times. President Biden has revised rules put in place by the Obama administration to remake the military even more boldly in accordance with DEI principles and has relied on executive orders, often without public discussion, to force through this agenda. In December 2022, revisions to the Obama-era Department of Defense (DOD) Instruction 1300.28 altered official DOD vocabulary regarding transgender recruits, made officers more directly liable for perceived offenses against such persons, and gave official approval to cross-dressing on military bases, among other changes. President Biden's general DEI stance makes the SFFA litigation one of the most impactful lawsuits so far undertaken against a military institution in modern history. DOD officials and representatives for West Point didn't respond to a request for comment. From Triumph to Trial The Supreme Court handed down its ruling on June 29 in the closely watched legal case of Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College, finding that affirmative action policies at Harvard violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The court issued a similar ruling in the matter of Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. University of North Carolina (UNC) on the same day. In a footnote to its opinion in the Harvard case, the majority explained that its ruling didn't apply to military institutions such as West Point, stating that no military academies were a party in the case. The court acknowledged a U.S. government brief that contended that "race-based admissions programs further compelling interests at our Nation's military academies." SFFA's founder, Edward Mr. Blum, now sees an opportunity to redress what he sees as a glaring omission in the Supreme Court's June rulings. "The SFFA cases have energized the legal community to challenge longstanding policies that have always been illegal. That is happening especially in the employment arena," he told The Epoch Times. In the case of West Point, the legal issues are fundamentally the same, Mr. Blum believes—as is the opposing argument from those who want to preserve affirmative action. "It is the same failed argument that the government made about 'leadership' and 'diversity' in the Harvard and UNC cases," he told The Epoch Times. But West Point and the Biden administration don't see matters that way. In a Nov. 22 memorandum filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams and colleagues set forth a number of defenses of West Point's admissions policies. They charge that the plaintiff, in extending the reasoning from the Harvard and UNC cases to this one, "ignores critical differences between civilian and military universities" and has failed to establish legal standing to weigh in on a matter that falls under federal jurisdiction. The government lawyers also argue that the Army's "operational interests" require the training of officers who can build a "cohesive rapport with subordinates," and that, in "an increasingly diverse nation," that goal isn't achievable without affirmative action. But it isn't clear if arguments in court will even get far enough to consider that last issue. Clearing the Standing Bar During hearings set to take place early in 2024, defense lawyers for West Point will attempt to have the lawsuit dismissed on the grounds that the plaintiff lacks standing under Article III of the Constitution. The article sets the bar high for proving actual or imminent injury as grounds for a party to pursue legal action touching on matters that would normally fall under federal jurisdiction, as military matters generally do. The highest court has been moving toward an ever-stricter interpretation of what such standing requires. Pursuant to its ruling in the 2021 case of TransUnion LLC v. Ramirez, the Supreme Court now requires evidence of "concrete harm" to qualify for Article III standing. "That's an important issue. You've got to clear the standing hurdle before you get in the courthouse," lawyer William Woodruff, former chief of the U.S. Army's litigation division and former Department of Justice trial attorney, told The Epoch Times. The new legal standard has evolved to the point in which establishing Article III standing will be hard for any plaintiff, he said. "You've got to have direct injury. So the question is: What is your injury, and is that direct enough?" Mr. Woodruff said. "The government's main defense is that this is military policy, national security, and the Constitution invests that authority in the government and not in the courts. The courts should stay out of it, we're the ones responsible for the defense of the nation." He said that, as an Army lawyer defending the service from lawsuits, he made that very argument regularly in courts around the country, with the goal of keeping the courts from meddling in Army policy. "And it's a valid argument, except that now, we've got the SFFA and Harvard/UNC cases, which sort of cracked open the door on that and shed some new light," Mr. Woodruff said. "In the unique situation of the military, how does this apply and how much deference should we extend?" Read more here...

Top Parks in Scarborough Top Parks in Scarborough During the summer months, and sometimes even in the winter, there's almost nothing as great as taking in nature and enjoying the outdoors. Whether taking a walk on a trail or relaxing with a good book, exploring the parks of Scarborough is a great way to spend your free time on weekends or even in the evenings while the warm weather is here. If you're looking for a park in Scarborough and not sure where to start, here's the top parks the city has to offer. Colonel Danforth Park This park can be very quiet and serene – especially on weekdays. While you're hiking the trails that wind along Highland Creek you might not ever even run into another person. This park is fantastic for those who just want to soak in nature and enjoy the natural setting this area has to offer. There isn't too many amenities at this park, though, if that's what you're looking for then this might not be the park for you. Aside from washrooms and an off-leash dog park, Colonel Danforth park focuses on the outdoors more than anything else and is great for a quiet, relaxing jog to clear your mind or for taking a nice long walk with the dog. You can find this park at 73 Colonel Danforth Trail, close to the intersection of Lawrence and Meadowvale. Rouge Park This park boasts over 1,700 species of flora and fauna for you to take in and enjoy, but if that isn't exactly your idea of fun there's a lot more to be enjoyed in this park. Rouge Park has a sandy beach and beautiful campground for the whole family to enjoy. There's also a handful of hiking trails to enjoy. It's a hidden gem, as it's a diverse green space that is also really close to the city. This wonderful outdoor space can be found at 195 Rouge Hills Drive in Scarborough. Cathedral Bluffs Park This park, while it sounds similar, is not the same park as Bluffer's Park. This park is the portion of green space that sits above The Bluffs, and it offers one of the most beautiful views in the entire Greater Toronto Area. While the view is gorgeous, this park offers more than just the view: you can hike or walk on the trails, have an afternoon picnic, take a swim at the beach or sit back and take in the sun on the sandy beach. This beautiful park is found at 24 Lyme Regist Crescent. Milliken Park This park is pretty unique in that it is centered around a large, beautiful pond. With the right seating position this park will give you the feeling you're on the dock at the cottage, so grab a good book and waste the day away taking in the natural beauty this park has to offer. Find your way to 5555 Steeles Ave, near the intersection of Steeles Ave and McCowan Rd so you can escape the hustle of the city, take in the serenity and just enjoy the peacefulness this park has to offer.

Public Cloud, Private Cloud, and Hybrid Cloud approaches as well as services such as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) are being embraced for cost efficiency, scalability, and consolidation. Hypervisor technologies, Open Source versus Proprietary Hypervisor technologies, Security, Open Standards, Interoperability, High Availability, and Backup & Recovery are among the issues that are critical to consider when evaluating a move to the cloud. Aerospike, a provider of NoSQL hybrid memory databases, is releasing a new version of its database, Aerospike 3.11, improving performance and memory. Aerospike 3.11 also includes the addition of TLS transport encryption, further securing Aerospike by enabling transport encryption across deployment environments that extend across network security domains. Posted February 08, 2017 Innovative technologies, such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality, robotics, and IoT, have had, and will continue to have, broad impact that we don't yet fully understand. Organizations that adopt these technologies will require new business models and processes. We will need to understand who our customers are and what they expect. The world of work as we know it today will continue to evolve at a faster pace—this is why adaptability and resilience are critical to a vibrant career. As businesses realize the importance of big data, adoption is on the rise. But big data is still not in full-scale production everywhere, and many companies say operational challenges hold them back. So what are the operational challenges that big data presents? It's a confluence of three key features of big data. Are enterprises more or less secure than 5 years ago? That's the big question of the moment, especially with ongoing revelations about state-sponsored hacking, as well as an unending stream of reports about customer and employee data being compromised by even the most seemingly security-conscious organizations. Awareness of data security is running at a fever pitch at the highest levels of government and business organizations. There have been plenty of technology advances, and awareness has grown. Still, the wave of breaches and threats never seems to abate, and likely never will. The role of the DBA is growing and becoming more complicated in the age of digital transformation. As the amount and type of information we store expands, DBAs must become versed in administering not just one type of DBMS (e.g., relational), but multiple types (document, key/value, wide column stores, and graph) and even non-DBMS data platforms (e.g., Hadoop). Furthermore, cloud computing can change the manner in which existing applications and databases operate. MapR Technologies, Inc., which provides a converged data platform, has introduced persistent storage for containers with complete state access to files, database tables, and message streams from any location. The MapR Converged Data Platform for Docker includes the MapR Persistent Client Container (PACC) that enables stateful applications and microservices to access data for greater application agility and faster time-to-value. Posted February 07, 2017 Stratoscale, which provides software-defined cloud infrastructure software, has acquired Cambridge, Mass.-based Tesora, a privately held database-as-a-service (DBaaS) provider.

With the EDW Optimization Solution, customers can extend the value of existing EDW investments and overcome the challenges, risks, and costs of introducing new solutions into legacy infrastructure. Hazelcast, a provider of an open source in-memory data grid (IMDG) platform, is unveiling Hazelcast Jet, a new platform that gives users a distributed processing engine for big data streams. With Hazelcast's IMDG providing storage functionality, Hazelcast Jet is a new Apache 2 licensed open source project that performs parallel execution to enable data-intensive applications to operate in near real-time. Qubole, which provides big data-as-a-service and is a silver level member of Oracle PartnerNetwork, is making its Qubole Data Service (QDS) available on the Oracle Cloud. With this offering, the Qubole Data Service is leveraging bare metal on Oracle Cloud to provide customers with fast access to analytics.

Cloud revenues (public, private and hybrid) for the quarter increased 30%. Cloud as-a-service revenues saw an annual run rate of $6.7 billion in the quarter, up 50% year to year. Posted January 30, 2017 HPE announced a definitive agreement to acquire Cloud Cruiser, a provider of cloud consumption analytics software that enables customers to manage and optimize public, private and hybrid cloud usage and spend. Trifacta has announced updates to Trifacta Wrangler, which was first launched in 2015.

SS8, which provides breach detection software, has announced the latest version of its BreachDetect technology which makes advanced threat detection and investigation capabilities accessible to enterprise security and IT administrators. Posted January 26, 2017 Now that 2016 has come and gone several experts at SAP are foreseeing a handful of trends that enterprises need to watch out for as 2017 unfolds. They offered up five predictions for 2017 that include immersive experiences, blockchains, application programming interfaces, the gig economy, and rise of the cyborg. Posted January 25, 2017 Dell Boomi is releasing an enhanced version of its integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) to help organizations rapidly and cost-effectively integrate data across applications in hybrid IT environments. The latest release enables Boomi customers to build a connected business at scale through new features to increase user productivity, speed up implementation, and provide unparalleled control of integrations. The past year was a blockbuster one for those working in the data space. Businesses have wrapped their fates around data analytics in an even tighter embrace as competition intensifies and the drive for greater innovation becomes a top priority. The year ahead promises to get even more interesting, especially for data managers and professionals. Leading experts in the field have witnessed a number of data trends emerge in 2016, and now see new developments coming into view for 2017. Qlik, a provider of visual analytics software, has announced that Qlik Sense Cloud Business, a SaaS-based visual analytics solution is now available for SMBs, groups, and teams to create, manage, and share analytics in the cloud. Hazelcast, provider of an open source in-memory data grid (IMDG), has announced that Hazelcast is now available as a tile on Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF). vArmour has been awarded a patent by the USPTO for security technology for container microservices. Marc Woolward, CTO of vArmour described what's changing in the world of clouds, containers, and microservices. Posted January 24, 2017 IoT has massive implications for businesses of all kinds, and for individuals at all organizational levels, as well. Bart Schouw, IoT solutions director at Software AG, recently reflected on the changes taking place and explained why 2020 will be a critical year for IoT. Posted January 20, 2017 MapR Technologies, Inc has been granted a patent (US9,501,483) from the United States Patent and Trademark Office to protect file, table and stream processing for convergence, security, and more. This patent, in particular, covers key technology underpinning components of the MapR Converged Data Platform, including the multi-modal NoSQL database (MapR-DB) and global streaming engine (MapR Streams). Posted January 18, 2017 At Oracle CloudWorld in New York City, Oracle unveiled new enhancements to the Oracle Cloud Platform to help customers move business-critical applications to the cloud. Describing the industry's move to the cloud as an "irresistible force," Oracle CEO Mark Hurd said, "This is not a what-if; this is the way things are going to go. The sooner you get on board with that the better." Oracle has announced the availability of Oracle Retail Release 16, which allows retailers to deliver unified consumer experiences across e-commerce and brick and mortar locations. With the rise of smartphones, laptops, sensors on machines, vehicles, and appliances, massive amounts of data are being generated, according to Balaji Thiagarajan, group vice president of big data at Oracle. For companies that can transform and manage it, he notes, data represents a huge opportunity as a source of competitive advantage and should be leveraged as such. Big data and cloud are two technologies driving dramatic transformations, and, says Thiagarajan, organizations must be ready to react and take advantage of important new trends and technologies to make sure that they come out ahead next year. Here, Thiagarajan shares 10 key predictions for big data in 2017. ScaleOut Software, a provider of in-memory computing software, is releasing version 5.5 of its in-memory data grid (IMDG) and in-memory computing platform, adding several new features that will boost capabilities for .NET developers.

What do you do in a world dangerously lacking in meaning because you are overworked and it will be nine months before Game of Thrones season 2 comes out on Bluray? Go see Snow White and the Huntsman. At least, that's what I would have done, if I hadn't promised Mrs. Obscure that I would wait until she was in town so we could see it together. Finally, last night, I got to see it. The story goes like this: Thor finally returns to earth and Natalie Portman is dead. In his grief, he becomes an alcoholic. (Is that even possible when drinking only mead?) The evil queen (she made it impossible for me to pretend she was just misunderstood. And I REALLY wanted to. And I prefer brunettes. Such is the power of Charlize.) promised Thor she would bring Natalie Portman back, if only he'd bring her that chick from Twilight. The one who is not a good actress, but is very good at doing things with her face. To be fair, I think she could be a good actress and I might like her in a role that didn't annoy the bejeebers out of me, but she is not ready for the demands that this role strived for. (The plot writing also failed these high ideals, so she's not alone to blame.) Any way, Thor goes into the super creepy hallucinogenic woods after the Twilight chick, who, even when she's dirty, now has a much better wardrobe than she used to have. They meet a troll. Possibly the most awesome troll ever. |Troll. I think I love you. (Still not as much as Charlize, though. But close.) |Thanks, Hollywood. This scene wasn't in the movie, but it's the biggest pic of the troll I can find. |I love a chick in armor. Especially if she is leading dwarves. I tolerate TC in armor -- though I love her armor. Thor also thought she looked good, but he was still drunk: we know this because he referred to plate as "mail". The wife liked this movie better than Mirror, Mirror. While I prefer it in terms of tone and spectacle, it is not tighter or better written. The narration at the beginning lagged and took too long -- they needed to find other ways to set it up. The story has moments of great potential it never capitalizes on, and so it disappointed me as a story, which is what a film should be first and foremost. However, sets, costumes, effects, and Charlize Theron demand that it be seen. Because of subject matter, great visuals, and some creative versions of fairy creatures, it manages to pull off a B+ Payoff: if you are working or playing with faerie or the Raven Queen, then I'd say this a must see. If you are working or playing with vampires, Snow White, the Shadow Plane, or dwarves, then this is a probably should see. If you saw Prometheus and need more Charlize Theron? Must see. Chris Hemsworth fans? Probably see, but after Thor and The Avengers. Kristen Stewart fans? Seek help. I will say this: she made a better Snow White than I thought she would. But can't they afford to get black hair die for her? And the little girl Snow White, too, who's hair was way too light. Seriously, movie makers, if you don't know your subject material, at least listen to your own prologues.

Kingfish and Zip the What-Is-It? of the Hubba Hubba Revue will bring their space-aged zaniness to Berkeley, and the town will never be the same! Be dazzled by the whirling deep-space dervish that is Delilah. Watch in amazement at the astronomical talents of Alotta Boutté. Get krazed by that komet known as Kitten Kandy. Be blasted away by Bunny Pistol. Get stunned to death by the photon torpedo that is Francine Dead. See all these performers and more, including a burlesque photography show by that photographer to the stars, Mr. Johnny Crash! This show will be one of the few which have a lower age limit of 18, so that means that most Cal students can cross over Strawberry Creek to see a burlesque show. And it's only $5! Inexpensive enough to fit into a student's entertainment budget! It's all happening at the new Saturn Cafe in Berkeley. Before the show, you can get some grub at this space-age vegetarian diner. Nachos, salads, burgers, sweet potato fries, mac n' cheese, and more make this the healthy alternative to dining out. And don't forget the milkshakes! I've heard they're out of this world! You can see their menu on their website at www.saturncafe.com. It appears that there will be a monthly burlesque show at the Saturn Cafe. On Wednesday, November 17, Red Hots Burlesque will stage a show at the Space Lounge. Yay for Berkeley burlesque! Neo-burlesque is an interesting juxtaposition of the modern and retro. As John C. McCall of Cabaret Decadence has said in a Planetshifter.com interview concerning mythographic mapping of Planet Burlesque: We don't reenact the past, we reinvent it. We like to say "we travel the past not take (sic)" - in doing so we create a kind of provocative nostalgia for pleasures not available from the store, and lives not alienated from meaning. For the seeker, the deeper mysteries are developed further in the "para-performative" mythographics that can be traced in our web presence.How true that is! Even though that's referring to a different Planet Burlesque, it seems appropriate here. And it's so thought-provoking! It's deep, man. And you are indeed reading a para-performative work of art, by the way. So this Thursday in Berkeley, boldly go back in time to where no burlesque audience has gone before! Head on over to the Saturn Cafe at warp speed, and make it a night on Planet Burlesque with your crew! THURSDAY, Oct, 21st -- Planet BURLESQUE! invades the Saturn Cafe's beautiful new *SPACE LOUNGE* at 2175 Allston Way, in your Earth-City known as Berkeley! Planet BURLESQUE! is a *brand new* BURLESQUE & VARIETY show featuring the hottest entertainment this side of a supernova! Set your controls for the Saturn Cafe's SPACE LOUNGE, and blast off for the vast & sexy reaches of OUTER SPACE! Featuring Space-Age Bump, Grind & Tease by Miss Bunny Pistol! Honey Lawless! Kitten Kandy! Charles Bukkake! Francine Dead! Pearl E. Gates! with Zip the What-Is-It? & Hosted by Commander Kingfish BURLESQUE PHOTOGRAPHY SHOW by Mr. Johnny Crash! DOORS 9PM, SHOW 10PM -- $5 All-Night THE SPACE LOUNGE (at Saturn Cafe) 2175 Allston Way, Berkeley (1 block from Downtown Berkeley BART)

CHAPTER 130 Anatomy of the Vestibular System The vestibular system is the system of balance and equilibrium. It consists of five distinct sensory organs: three semicircular canals, which are sensitive to angular accelerations (head rotations), and two otoliths, which are sensitive to linear accelerations (e.g., motion in a vehicle or an elevator). This chapter describes the anatomic basis for these functions. The semicircular canals are arranged as a set of three orthogonal sensors (Fig. 130-1)—that is, each canal is at approximately right angles to the other two. Each canal is maximally sensitive to rotations that lie in the plane of that canal. The result of this arrangement is that the three canals can uniquely specify the direction and amplitude of any arbitrary head rotation. Each of the canals acts as an integrating accelerometer; the necessary stimulus for the canal is an angular acceleration, but the information that is encoded by the firing of the afferent nerve fiber is more closely related to angular velocity. Finally, the canals are organized into functional pairs wherein both members of the pair lie in the same plane. Any rotation in that plane is excitatory to one of the members of the pair and inhibitory to the other. Although in the horizontal system the two horizontal canals form a functional pair, the situation is more complex in the vertical system. Here, the anterior canal on one side is parallel and coplanar with the posterior canal on the opposite side; for example, the right anterior canal and the left posterior canal form a functional pair. Figure 130-1. Development of vestibular apparatus in humans. A, Embryo of 4.3 mm (approximately 23 days old). B, Embryo of 6.6 mm (approximately 30 days old). C, Embryo of 11 mm (approximately 41 days old). D, Embryo of 20 mm (approximately 50 days old). E and F, Embryo of 30 mm (approximately 56 days old). See text for details. (Modified from Williams PL, Warwick R. Gray's Anatomy. 36th ed. Philadelphia: Saunders; 1980.) Because the primary vestibular afferent fibers exhibit a substantial resting firing rate (60 to 80 spikes per second in mammals), each canal is able to report rotations in either its excitatory direction (by increasing its firing rate) or its inhibitory direction (by decreasing its firing rate). This observation explains why it is possible to function reasonably well after the loss of one labyrinth. The vestibular system forms the basis for many fundamental reflexes: the vestibulocollic reflex (head stabilization), vestibulospinal reflex (control of upright posture) and vestibuloocular reflex (retinal image stabilization). The last of these, the vestibuloocular reflex, has been studied far more extensively than the others and is the best understood; this reflex forms the basis for most clinical testing (e.g., calorics, rotation tests). See also Chapters 163 and 164 for clinical applications. This chapter describes the anatomy of the vestibuloocular reflex in some detail, but without exploring every possible aspect. Many of the details that are described have been obtained from experiments in animal species, principally the cat and monkey. Nevertheless, the information is applicable to humans because the vestibular system has changed little during the evolution of vertebrates. Embryology of the Vestibular Apparatus The development of the inner ear is a complex process that starts at the beginning of the 4th week and is completed at about 25 weeks of gestational age. By that time, the vestibular apparatus has achieved adult form and size. A brief description of this process of development in human embryos follows. Further details can be found by consulting more detailed references.1–3 An excellent description of the molecular aspects of development can be found in Post,4 and a review by Kelley5 discusses these molecules in relation to potential hair cell regeneration (see also Chapters 1 and 2). When the human embryo reaches the seven-somite stage (about 22 days), surface ectoderm overlying the future site of the inner ear (at about the level of the first occipital somite) thickens to form the otic placode. The otic placode invaginates into the mesenchyme, forming an otic pit. At about 30 days, the otic pit becomes pinched off, forming the otic vesicle or otocyst (see Fig. 130-1). Concurrently at about 4 weeks, a portion of the neural crest migrates to the vicinity of the otic vesicle and becomes the acousticofacial ganglion. The geniculate ganglion soon migrates away from this cluster of neurons, leaving the vestibulocochlear ganglion in close proximity to the otic vesicle. Within 1 or 2 days after formation of the otic vesicle, its more medial portion, the endolymphatic diverticulum, becomes distinguishable from the lateral utriculosaccular chamber. This chamber differentiates by a constriction of its middle into (1) a utricular chamber that gives rise to the utriculus and the semicircular ducts, and (2) a saccular chamber that gives rise to the sacculus and the cochlea. The utricular chamber differentiates first by a rapid expansion into three diverticula. At about 35 days, the centers of these diverticula fuse together and break down, leaving spaces around the perimeter that become the three semicircular ducts. The superior semicircular duct forms first, at about 6 weeks, with the posterior and lateral ducts forming soon afterward in that order. Dilations of one end of each of the semicircular ducts become the ampullae. The ampullar ends and the opposite ends of the ducts remain connected to the utriculus. The saccular chamber differentiates by expansion and coiling of the cochlear duct. This duct becomes separated from the sacculus by a narrowing of the duct at its dorsal end to form the ductus reuniens. While morphogenesis proceeds within the otocyst, histogenesis of the sensory epithelium is also occurring. The arrival of afferent endings in the epithelium precedes hair cell differentiation.6,7 In the 3rd week, a common macula, or specialized neuroepithelium, appears. Its upper part becomes the utricular macula and crista ampullaris of the superior and lateral semicircular ducts, and its lower part becomes the saccular macula and crista ampullaris of the posterior semicircular duct. At 9 weeks, the hair cells in the vestibular end organs are well differentiated, and they exhibit typical synapses with nerve endings. The maculae reach adult form at about 14 to 16 weeks; the cristae, at about 23 weeks; and the organ of Corti, at about 25 weeks. The mesoderm surrounding the membranous labyrinth becomes the bony otic capsule, or bony labyrinth. The membranous labyrinth is suspended in fluid (perilymph) within the bony labyrinth by a loose connective tissue termed periotic tissue. Overall Organization of Labyrinth: Relationship to Skull and Cochlea The vestibular apparatus is enclosed within a bony labyrinth, the vestibule, in the petrous portion of the temporal bone. The vestibular end organs include three semicircular canals, each oriented in a different plane, and two maculae, one roughly in the horizontal plane (the utriculus) and one in the vertical plane (the sacculus). There are two vertical semicircular canals, the anterior (also known as the superior) and posterior canals, and one horizontal (also known as the lateral) canal. The vertical canals are oriented roughly at 45 degrees in relation to the sagittal plane, and the horizontal canal is tilted upward about 30 degrees anteriorly from the horizontal plane (Fig. 130-2). The five vestibular end organs, along with the cochlea, are contained within an endolymph-filled membranous labyrinth (the endolymphatic space), which is itself contained in the perilymph-filled bony labyrinth (the perilymphatic space) (Fig. 130-3). Figure 130-2. Orientation of semicircular canals in head. A, Horizontal canal is tilted 30 degrees upward from horizontal plane at its anterior end. LC, lateral canal. B, Vertical canals are oriented at roughly 45 degrees from midsagittal plane. AC, anterior canal; PC, posterior canal. (From Barber HO, Stockwell CW. Manual of Electronystagmography. St. Louis: Mosby-Year Book; 1976.) Figure 130-3. Membranous labyrinth situated within bony labyrinth. Note crus commune, a duct shared by superior (anterior) and posterior ducts. Note also endolymphatic duct originating as fusion of utricular duct and saccular duct, and ductus reuniens connecting vestibular apparatus with cochlear duct (uncoiled in this diagram). (Modified from Kandel ER, Schwartz JW. Principles of Neural Science. 2nd ed. New York: Elsevier Science; 1985.) The vestibule is situated between the internal auditory meatus anteromedially and the middle ear cavity laterally (Fig. 130-4). The entrance to the mastoid antrum (the aditus ad antrum) is just lateral to the horizontal semicircular canal. The cochlea sits anterior to the vestibule and is connected to the vestibule by the narrow ductus reuniens (Fig. 130-5; see Fig. 130-3). Posterior and lateral to the vestibule are the mastoid air cells. Directly medial is the posterior cranial fossa, into which the endolymphatic duct and sac extend beneath the dura. Figure 130-4. Course of vestibulocochlear nerve within the auditory meatus. (From Brodel M. Three Unpublished Drawings of the Anatomy of the Human Ear. Philadelphia: Saunders; 1946.) Figure 130-5. Distribution of vestibular nerve to end organs. (From Brodel M. Three Unpublished Drawings of the Anatomy of the Human Ear. Philadelphia: Saunders; 1946.) The seventh (facial and intermediate) and eighth (vestibulocochlear) cranial nerves emerge from the brainstem laterally at the cerebellopontine angle. They enter the vestibule and cochlea from the internal auditory meatus (see Fig. 130-4), located medial to a point midway between the cochlea and vestibule. The facial nerve lies anterior and dorsal to the vestibulocochlear nerve. The two nerves separate just inside the meatus, and the facial and intermediate nerves continue laterally in their own canal, past the vestibule. When past the vestibule, the facial nerve makes a 90-degree turn inferiorly to exit the temporal bone through the stylomastoid foramen. The vestibulocochlear nerve splits into a vestibular division, which turns posteriorly to supply the vestibule, and a cochlear division, which turns anteriorly to supply the cochlea. The vestibular (Scarpa's) ganglion sits at the bottom of the internal auditory meatus. It has two parts, the superior vestibular ganglion and the inferior vestibular ganglion (see Fig. 130-5). Large ganglion cells in the superior and inferior ganglia provide afferent innervation to the central regions of the cristae and maculae, and small ganglion cells innervate the peripheral regions of these end organs (the regional specialization within the end organs is discussed in more detail subsequently). A nerve branch is associated with each ganglion. The superior (or anterior) vestibular nerve supplies the anterior and horizontal cristae and the utricular macula. The inferior (or posterior) vestibular nerve supplies the posterior canal and saccular macula. There are also a few small branches that anastomose between the larger divisions of CN VIII. One such small branch is Voit's anastomosis, which runs from the superior vestibular nerve to the anterosuperior part of the sacculus. Another is the vestibulocochlear (Oort's) anastomosis, which runs from the inferior vestibular nerve to the cochlear nerve and carries cochlear efferents (see later). In addition, some intermediate nerve fibers cross to the vestibular nerve proximal to the superior vestibular ganglion, and others cross back to the intermediate nerve distal to Scarpa's ganglion. It has been suggested that this facial-vestibular anastomosis carries parasympathetic innervation to the vestibular labyrinth; for details on these and other small fiber connections, see Lindemann.8 Efferent Innervation of Peripheral Vestibular Apparatus The efferent supply to the vestibular end organs arises from a small group of about 200 neurons lateral to the abducens nucleus and the genu of the facial nerve, the so-called group e (see later).9 These neurons project ipsilaterally and contralaterally (Fig. 130-6). The contralateral pathway crosses the midline at the level of the facial genu and joins the ipsilateral pathway; both pass ventral to the vestibular nucleus. At this point, they are joined by cochlear efferents originating from the superior olivary complex (olivocochlear bundle). All of the efferents enter the vestibular nerve, coursing through the middle of the nerve in a small distinct bundle. At the end organs, these few fibers branch profusely to innervate the entire sensory epithelium. More recent work suggests that the ipsilaterally projecting efferents supply the central regions of the crista, whereas the contralaterally projecting efferents supply the peripheral zone.10 The efferent fibers terminate as highly vesiculated boutons, making synaptic contacts with hair cells and afferent fibers.11,12 For an excellent review of the neurochemistry of the vestibular efferent system, see Goldberg and colleagues.13 Figure 130-6.

In: Darian-Smith I, ed. Handbook of Physiology. The Nervous System. Sect I. Vol III. Pt 2. Bethesda, MD: American Physiological Society; 1984: 977-1031.) Autonomic Supply of Peripheral Vestibular Apparatus Postganglionic sympathetic fibers from neurons in the superior cervical ganglion also innervate the vestibular end organs. They are of two types: perivascular and nonvascular. The nonvascular sympathetic fibers run among the myelinated afferent fibers. The terminals of these nonvascular sympathetic fibers are found as free endings near the cells of Scarpa's ganglion, distal to the ganglion and underneath the sensory epithelium. They do not seem to penetrate the basement membrane into the sensory epithelium and do not seem to have a direct effect on the hair cells or afferent fibers.14 Their functional role remains unexplored, along with the functional role of any parasympathetic innervation of the vestibular sensory epithelium. Blood Supply to Vestibular End Organs The main blood supply to the vestibular end organs is through the internal auditory (labyrinthine) artery, which arises most often (45%) from the anterior cerebellar artery, superior cerebellar artery, or basilar artery, according to a radiographic study by Wende and coworkers.15 Shortly after entering the inner ear, the labyrinthine artery divides into two branches: the anterior vestibular artery and the common cochlear artery (Fig. 130-7). The anterior vestibular artery provides the blood supply to most of the utriculus and the superior and horizontal ampullae, and some blood to a small portion of the sacculus. The common cochlear artery forms two divisions, the proper cochlear (or spiral modiolar) artery and the vestibulocochlear artery. The latter divides into a cochlear ramus and a vestibular ramus, also known as the posterior vestibular artery. The posterior vestibular artery is the source of the blood supply to the posterior ampulla, the major part of the sacculus, and parts of the body of the utriculus and horizontal and superior ampullae. Anatomy of End Organs At the dilated end of each semicircular duct is the ampulla. It contains the neuroepithelium (crista ampullaris), the cupula, supporting cells, connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerve fibers. The crista is a saddle-shaped, raised section of the wall that extends across the floor of the ampulla at right angles to its long axis. The crista has been found to be divided into central (near the apex) and peripheral (on the slope) zones based on the morphology and physiology of vestibular afferents supplying the different regions (see later).16,17 The shape of the crista facilitates maximal packing of the specialized mechanoreceptor hair cells. The hair cells and the supporting cells are modified columnar epithelial cells that have microvilli on their apical surfaces. In the hair cells, many of these microvilli are elongated to form stereocilia, which are grouped in an organ pipe–like arrangement (Fig. 130-8). In addition, each hair cell has a single long kinocilium, a true cilium showing the 9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules. This kinocilium is longer than the stereocilia and eccentrically located, imparting a certain polarization to the hair cell that has important functional implications (see Chapter 163). In the cristae, the kinocilium on each hair cell is located on one end of the cell (Fig. 130-9). In the horizontal cristae, the kinocilia are located on the side of the hair cell that is closest to the utriculus. In the vertical cristae, the kinocilia are located on the side of the hair cell furthest from the utriculus, the canalicular side. The entire hair bundle extends upward into the cupula (Fig. 130-10).

Dimensional study of the vestibular end organ apparatus. In: Graybiel A, ed. Second Symposium on the Role of Vestibular Organs in Space Exploration, NASA SP-115. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office; 1966:33-46.) The cupula is a gelatinous mass, consisting of mucopolysaccharides within a keratin meshwork,18 which extends from the surface of the cristae to the roof and lateral walls of the membranous labyrinth, forming a fluid-tight partition. There is a distinct subcupular space in the region of the cupula overlying the apex of the center of the crista (see Fig. 130-10). This subcupular space is believed to provide space for freedom of movement and more sensitive responses to endolymph flow for the stereocilia on the hair cells in the central zone. The space may be artifactual and due to fixation methods commonly used to prepare tissue for histology. The specific gravity of the cupula is approximately 1, which is about the same as that of the endolymph.19 This matching of the specific gravity of the cupula and the endolymph is necessary to prevent the cupula from floating upward in certain head positions and causing an enduring nystagmus. Disruption of this match in specific gravity is likely the cause of postalcoholic nystagmus. A torsion pendulum model is used to describe the mechanics of cupular and endolymph displacement.20 For a description of the mathematic details of the response of canal afferents, see Goldberg and Fernández.21 More details are also given in Chapter 163. Similar to the cristae ampullares, the maculae of the utriculus and sacculus consist of neuroepithelium, supporting cells, blood vessels, and nerve fibers. The utricular macula is oriented in the horizontal plane, and the saccular macula is oriented in the vertical plane (Fig. 130-11). Cilia from the hair cells in both maculae extend upward into their respective otolithic membranes (Fig. 130-12)—gelatinous membranes analogous to the cupula. In the upper surface of the otolithic membranes, the otoliths (or otoconia) are embedded. Otoliths are inorganic crystalline deposits composed of calcium carbonate or calcite.22 They vary in size from 0.5 to 30 µm, with most being about 5 to 7 µm.8 The specific gravity of the otolithic membrane is much higher than that of the endolymph, about 2.71 to 2.94.19 Within the otolithic membrane is the striola,23 a specialized central region that has a snowdrift-like appearance. The striola is identifiable as a thin stripe running down the center of the otolith membranes of both maculae. In the striola, the otoliths are very small (about 1 µm), and the thickness of the otolithic membranes is either reduced, as in the utricular macula, or increased, as in the saccular macula. These regional differences in the otolithic membranes are paralleled by morphologic and physiologic differences in the afferent fibers supplying the hair cells in the underlying sensory epithelium.24–26 Figure 130-11. Orientation of two maculae. Utricular macula is in horizontal plane, and saccular macula is in vertical plane. (From Barber HO, Stockwell CW. Manual of Electronystagmography. St. Louis: Mosby-Year Book; 1976.) Figure 130-12. Arrangement of otoliths in two maculae. A, Sacculus. B, Utriculus. C, Diagram of composition of saccular otoconial membrane in section taken at level shown in A. (From Paparella MM, Shumrick DA. Textbook of Otolaryngology. Vol 1. Philadelphia: Saunders; 1980.) The kinocilia on the hair cells in the maculae are also dynamically polarized, but the pattern of polarization is much more complex than in the cristae (see Figs. 130-9 and 130-11). In the utricular macula, the kinocilia are oriented so that they point toward the striola, whereas in the saccular macula, the kinocilia point away from the striola. Because both maculae are curved areas, and the striolae are curved lines, the arrangement is so complex (see Fig. 130-11) that static head tilts in any direction cause some hair cells to be excited and others to be inhibited in one or both of the otolithic organs. The stimulus is encoded by means of stimulation of hair cells in the appropriate sector of the macula. The otolith organs are sensitive not only to gravity, but also to other linear acceleration forces, such as forward motion and bobbing movements of the head during walking. Static head tilts are represented by a vector and the afferent response predicted by a trigonometric function based on the tilt angle. One would expect a linear model based on this simple relationship; however, there is a response asymmetry in that the excitatory response is larger than the inhibitory response. Consequently, the equation describing this force-response relationship is by necessity nonlinear (for more mathematical details, see Fernández and Goldberg27,28).

(Via: Design Taxi) Right before a four-person Swedish team was scheduled to hike, kayak, and bike a grueling 430-mile endurance race through the Amazon rainforest, they sat down for a quick meal together. That's when teammate Mikael Lindnord noticed a tattered, miserable-looking stray dog. Feeling sympathy for the dog, he decided to give him one of his meatballs, figuring it would be the end of their exchange. The team must have made a fantastic impression on the stray because he continued to follow the adventure athletes as they made their way through mud and dangerous terrain. Even when they tried to get the loyal dog to stop for his own safety, he wouldn't listen and kept on going. During the kayaking portion of the race, their eager furry friend swam right beside them, prompting the team to invite him onto the kayak as their newest member. After all five of them crossed the finish line as the 12th top team in the world, the athletes decided to name the stray Arthur and to have him treated for a severe wound that had been on his back when they first met him. The team also worked out a way to bring their companion back home to Sweden with them, starting a Twitter campaign to raise the needed funds. Now, Arthur is living a happy, healthy life in Sweden with Lindnord, the man who shared the meatball that started it all. As if it couldn't get any better, the team has set up the Arthur Foundation, a charity organization for supporting stray dogs in need of a loving, caring home. (Via: My Modern Met)

The soybean (Glycine max L. merr) genotype Fiskeby III is highly resistant to a multitude of abiotic stresses, including iron deficiency, incurring only mild yield loss during stress conditions. Conversely, Mandarin (Ottawa) is highly susceptible to disease and suffers severe phenotypic damage and yield loss when exposed to abiotic stresses such as iron deficiency, a major challenge to soybean production in the northern Midwestern United States. Using RNA-seq, we characterize the transcriptional response to iron deficiency in both Fiskeby III and Mandarin (Ottawa) to better understand abiotic stress tolerance. Previous work by our group identified a quantitative trait locus (QTL) on chromosome 5 associated with Fiskeby III iron efficiency, indicating Fiskeby III utilizes iron deficiency stress mechanisms not previously characterized in soybean. We targeted 10 of the potential candidate genes in the Williams 82 genome sequence associated with the QTL using virus-induced gene silencing. Coupling virus-induced gene silencing with RNA-seq, we identified a single high priority candidate gene with a significant impact on iron deficiency response pathways. Characterization of the Fiskeby III responses to iron stress and the genes underlying the chromosome 5 QTL provides novel targets for improved abiotic stress tolerance in soybean.

Lisinopril and HCTZ (Page 4 of 5) Use in Specific Populations Nursing Mothers It is not known whether lisinopril is secreted in human milk. However, milk of lactating rats contains radioactivity following administration of 14C lisinopril. In another study, lisinopril was present in rat milk at levels similar to plasma levels in the dams. Thiazides do appear in human milk. Because of the potential for serious reactions in nursing infants from ACE inhibitors and hydrochlorothiazide, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother. Pediatric Use Neonates with a history of in utero exposure to lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide: If oliguria or hypotension occurs, direct attention toward support of blood pressure and renal perfusion. Exchange transfusions or dialysis may be required as a means of reversing hypotension and/or substituting for disordered renal function. Lisinopril, which crosses the placenta, has been removed from neonatal circulation by peritoneal dialysis with some clinical benefit, and theoretically may be removed by exchange transfusion, although there is no experience with the latter procedure. Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established. Geriatric Use Clinical studies of lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy. This drug is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of toxic reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection. Evaluation of the hypertensive patient should always include assessment of renal function. Adverse Reactions Lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide have been evaluated for safety in 930 patients, including 100 patients treated for 50 weeks or more. In clinical trials with lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide no adverse experiences peculiar to this combination drug have been observed. Adverse experiences that have occurred have been limited to those that have been previously reported with lisinopril or hydrochlorothiazide. The most frequent clinical adverse experiences in controlled trials (including open label extensions) with any combination of lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide were: dizziness (7.5 %), headache (5.2 %), cough (3.9 %), fatigue (3.7 %) and orthostatic effects (3.2 %), all of which were more common than in placebo-treated patients. Generally, adverse experiences were mild and transient in nature; but see WARNINGS regarding angioedema and excessive hypotension or syncope. Discontinuation of therapy due to adverse effects was required in 4.4 % of patients, principally because of dizziness, cough, fatigue and muscle cramps. Please view the manufacturer's complete drug information including adverse experiences during controlled clinical trials here: Clinical adverse experiences occurring in 0.3 to 1.0 % of patients in controlled trials and rarer, serious, possibly drug-related events reported in marketing experience are listed below: Body as a Whole: Chest pain, abdominal pain, syncope, chest discomfort, fever, trauma, virus infection. Cardiovascular: Palpitation, orthostatic hypotension. Digestive: Gastrointestinal cramps, dry mouth, constipation, heartburn. Musculoskeletal: Back pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, back strain, myalgia, foot pain. Nervous/Psychiatric: Decreased libido, vertigo, depression, somnolence. Respiratory: Common cold, nasal congestion, influenza, bronchitis, pharyngeal pain, dyspnea, pulmonary congestion, chronic sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, pharyngeal discomfort. Skin: Flushing, pruritus, skin inflammation, diaphoresis, cutaneous pseudolymphoma. Special Senses: Blurred vision, tinnitus, otalgia. Urogenital: Urinary tract infection. Angioedema: Angioedema of the face, extremities, lips, tongue, glottis and/or larynx has been reported (See WARNINGS). In rare cases, intestinal angioedema has been reported in post marketing experience. Hypotension: In clinical trials, adverse effects relating to hypotension occurred as follows: hypotension (1.4%), orthostatic hypotension (0.5%), other orthostatic effects (3.2%). In addition syncope occurred in 0.8% of patients. (See WARNINGS). Cough: See PRECAUTIONS, Cough. Clinical Laboratory Test Findings Serum Electrolytes: (See PRECAUTIONS). Creatinine, Blood Urea Nitrogen: Minor reversible increases in blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine were observed in patients with essential hypertension treated with lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide. More marked increases have also been reported and were more likely to occur in patients with renal artery stenosis. (See PRECAUTIONS). Serum Uric Acid, Glucose, Magnesium, Cholesterol, Triglycerides and Calcium: (See PRECAUTIONS). Hemoglobin and Hematocrit: Small decreases in hemoglobin and hematocrit (mean decreases of approximately 0.5 g % and 1.5 vol %, respectively) occurred frequently in hypertensive patients treated with lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide but were rarely of clinical importance unless another cause of anemia coexisted. In clinical trials, 0.4 % of patients discontinued therapy due to anemia. Liver Function Tests: Rarely, elevations of liver enzymes and/or serum bilirubin have occurred (See WARNINGS, Hepatic Failure). Other adverse reactions that have been reported with the individual components are listed below: Lisinopril — In clinical trials adverse reactions which occurred with lisinopril were also seen with lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide. In addition, and since lisinopril has been marketed, the following adverse reactions have been reported with lisinopril and should be considered potential adverse reactions for lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide: Body as a Whole: Anaphylactoid reactions (see WARNINGS, Anaphylactoid Reactions During Membrane Exposure), malaise, edema, facial edema, pain, pelvic pain, flank pain, chills; Cardiovascular: Cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction or cerebrovascular accident, possibly secondary to excessive hypotension in high risk patients (see WARNINGS, Hypotension), pulmonary embolism and infarction, worsening of heart failure, arrhythmias (including tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, atrial tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, and premature ventricular contractions), angina pectoris, transient ischemic attacks, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, decreased blood pressure, peripheral edema, vasculitis; Digestive: Pancreatitis, hepatitis (hepatocellular or cholestatic jaundice) (see WARNINGS, Hepatic Failure), gastritis, anorexia, flatulence, increased salivation; Endocrine: Diabetes mellitus, inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion. Hematologic: Rare cases of bone marrow depression, hemolytic anemia, leukopenia/neutropenia and thrombocytopenia have been reported in which a causal relationship to lisinopril can not be excluded; Metabolic: Gout, weight loss, dehydration, fluid overload, weight gain; Musculoskeletal: Arthritis, arthralgia, neck pain, hip pain, joint pain, leg pain, arm pain, lumbago; Nervous System/Psychiatric: Ataxia, memory impairment, tremor, insomnia, stroke, nervousness, confusion, peripheral neuropathy (e.g., paresthesia, dysesthesia), spasm, hypersomnia, irritability, mood alterations (including depressive symptoms); hallucinations; Respiratory: Malignant lung neoplasms, hemoptysis, pulmonary edema, pulmonary infiltrates, bronchospasm, asthma, pleural effusion, pneumonia, eosinophilic pneumonitis, wheezing, orthopnea, painful respiration, epistaxis, laryngitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, rhinitis, rhinorrhea, chest sound abnormalities; Skin: Urticaria, alopecia, herpes zoster, photosensitivity, skin lesions, skin infections, pemphigus, erythema, psoriasis, rare cases of other severe skin reactions including toxic epidermal necrolysis and Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (causal relationship has not been established); Special Senses: Visual loss, diplopia, photophobia, taste alteration, olfactory disturbance; Urogenital: Acute renal failure, oliguria, anuria, uremia, progressive azotemia, renal dysfunction (See PRECAUTIONS and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION), pyelonephritis, dysuria, breast pain.

Recently in Articles & Papers Category The world is stuck in a prolonged downturn--growing inequity and a spiral toward environmental meltdown--and we can't seem to find a way to turn the corner. Not surprisingly, there is much talk these days about job creators--in US politics as well as geopolitics. Two camps seem to dominate this debate. The first camp advocates cutting taxes for the rich, under the assumption that their investment and spending will "trickle down" to everyone else. The second camp wants to focus attention on the little guy--the small and medium enterprise (SME) sector, under the assumption that assistance for "mom and pop" enterprises will enable them to grow and flourish from the "bottom up." The reality, in my view, is that neither the "trickle down" nor the "bottom up" perspectives will get us out of the hole that we are in. Some years ago (1978 to be exact) Filley and Aldag published a wonderful piece in the Academy of Management Journal entitled "Characteristics and measurement of an organizational typology." In this article they empirically classified organizations into one of three types: Administrative, Craft, and Promotional. Administrative organizations are established enterprises that are run by professional managers using formal systems of reward and incentives. At best, they generate slow, linear growth since they typically compete in established industries where unsustainable practices and bureaucracy reign supreme among incumbents. And they produce few jobs, since their focus is on increasing labor productivity rather than employment. Indeed, the corporate sector (the largest of the administrative organizations) makes up fewer than one percent of the world's enterprises and has actually shed jobs over the past decade, at least in the developed world. Craft organizations comprise the vast majority of the world's enterprises which are created by their owners for the purposes of convenience or survival. Most "mom and pops" fit into this category and their defining characteristics are informality and a desire for stability. It should come as little surprise that the small shops and microenterprises of the world produce little in the way of job or employment growth since they are seldom started or run by real entrepreneurs. Indeed, those at the low end of the income scale are typically entrepreneurs by necessity rather than choice: Given the option, most would prefer a good job for a decent wage. Expecting the world's craft enterprises to somehow rescue us from our current malaise is therefore a false hope a best and a shibboleth at worst. That leaves us with Promotional organizations, which constitute only a small fraction of the world's SMEs. Promotional enterprises are started by entrepreneurs whose intention is to get big. They are driven by a passion for achievement and will stop at nothing to realize this dream. Most fail. But the few (less than 10%) that succeed are the real job creators and growth engines for the future. The good news is that promotional enterprises can come from anywhere in the world and need not be focused exclusively on the development and commercialization of new technology. In fact, entrepreneurs focused on solving social and environmental problems through enterprise are some of the most passionate and driven people on the planet. Our challenge (and the leverage point for the future) is therefore to devise ways to multiply the number and success rate of this new breed of promotional enterprise. As a co-founder of the new Indian Institute for Sustainable Enterprise, I aim to do just that--dramatically increase the number and success of entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs focused on socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable business development for the 21st century. To realize this vision, IISE has assembled a complete innovation ecosystem to foster the creation of tomorrow's distributed and sustainable infrastructure, including an education platform, incubator, investment fund, technology bank, cluster (social) network, learning laboratory, and field support system. The flagship offering is the Post-Graduate Certificate Program in Sustainable Enterprise which aims to create nothing less than a new model of business and entrepreneurial development appropriate to the challenges we face in the 21st century. The real job creators will drive innovation from the base of the pyramid, creating the companies and industries of tomorrow and a more sustainable way of living for the world. Twenty years ago, in 1992, the first Rio Earth Summit took place in Brazil. While it was convened amid great fanfare and high expectation, the only really lasting legacy was the creation of the World Business Council of Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and the christening of "eco-efficiency"--doing more with less--as a key private-sector based strategy for sustainable development. The governmental negotiations produced a massive volume--"Agenda 21" but little concrete action. Next week, the Rio + 20 Summit will convene, again in Brazil. The past twenty years has produced some good news and some bad news. First the good news: Eco-efficiency has become standard practice in large corporations everywhere and is now spreading to the world's small and medium sized enterprises as well. This is a major accomplishment and has significantly reduced the impact per unit of output in economic activity. Now for the bad news: we have not yet begun to actually slow or reverse the level of human impact on the planet. Indeed, over the past twenty years, we have tripled the size of the global economy, added nearly two billion people to the world's population, and further intensified our ecological footprint on the planet. Growth swamped eco-efficiency. Today, the science is clear: we have overshot the carrying capacity of the planet and serious repercussions are now inevitable. In 1997, I wrote an article that appeared in the Harvard Business Review entitled Beyond Greening: Strategies for a Sustainable World. The piece won the McKinsey Award in 1997 as the best article in HBR. The article stressed that corporate eco-efficiency (greening) strategies aimed at incrementally reducing negative social and environmental impacts, while important, would not be nearly adequate to the challenge of global sustainability in the decades ahead. Even then, it was clear that "beyond greening" strategies--leapfrog clean technologies, and business models that included and lifted the four plus billion poor in the developing world--would be essential if we were to fundamentally change the course of the global economy, and set it on a course to sustainability. In the 1990s, people spoke in terms of the need for fundamental change over the next decade or two. Indeed, the title of the WBCSD's inaugural book was "Changing Course." Unfortunately, all we got was continuous improvement through eco-efficiency. As I prepare to leave for Rio next week, my hope is that this Summit can plant a new stake in the ground--the Beyond Greening Stake. I will do everything I can to drive this agenda. We are running out of time. The time has come to end the ideology wars. For too long, discussion about environmental and social challenges has been divided into two camps: The Neo-Malthusians (here and here) and the Cornucopians (here and here). The former forsee gloom and doom--an imminent global train wreck driven by climate change, resource depletion, ecosystem destruction, and a combination of growing population and inequality. The latter forsee an unprecedented boom driven by the creativity and innovation of an increasingly sophisticated and interconnected global economy with millions of new, well-educated people from the emerging markets of the world. The Neo-Malthusians are the ultimate pessimists ("limits to growth"); the Cornucopians are unabashed optimists ("growth of limits"). The Neo-Malthusians project current trends into the future and see disaster. The Cornucopians assume that technology will always produce the necessary substitutes and solutions when we need them (because scarcity means higher prices and higher prices signal opportunity for innovators). It turns out both are probably right: We face unprecedented environmental and social challenges. Markets get distorted by perverse subsidies and incumbent resistance so that the price signals that should drive innovation are delayed or deferred. Humans have difficulty perceiving gradual, slow-developing changes and tend to wait for crises before acting (the "boiled frog" syndrome). So there probably will be major disruptions and unpleasant surprises in the years ahead. That said, humans are also infinitely adaptable, resilient, and able to mobilize rapidly when a real crisis is finally perceived. The level of creativity and inventiveness is astonishing, and we are adding millions of creative people to the stock of potential problem solvers every year. The internet enables connectivity and exchange on a scale that we could not have previously imagined. The engine of entrepreneurial capitalism is powerful and should not be underestimated. So, there is every reason to believe that amazing things will happen that totally change the landscape for the better in the coming decade or two. Just like the Democrats and Republicans in the United States need to set aside their petty ideological differences for the good of the country (and the world), it is also time for reconciliation and synthesis between the Neo-Malthusians and the Cornucopians. Such reconciliation means that we need to learn how to become "skeptical optimists"--optimists because of the potential for new, sustainable technologies to grow exponentially in the coming years (see, for example, Singularity University); skeptical because of the scale and scope of the challenges we face. Skeptical optimism gives us the perspective we need to solve the world's social and environmental problems through a new form of sustainable entrepreneurship and enterprise. And the time is now. Image via Wikipedia In fact, a full decade after C.K. Prahalad and I first wrote the Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid (BoP), few large corporations have yet to realize the vast business potential of the world's four billion poor and underserved: Most have either sought simply to sell stripped-down versions of their current products to the emerging middle classes in the developing world, or have abandoned the profit motive entirely and moved their BoP initiatives to the corporate social responsibility department or corporate foundation. Indeed, it is telling that, as we enter the second decade of the 21st century, the only real BoP business success stories come from the developing world itself--microfinance and mobile telephony for the poor. Billion dollar companies like Grameen Bank and Grameen Phone in Bangladesh, Compartamos in Mexico, and CelTel in Africa still stand out as the few iconic examples of business success cited by BoP analysts and advocates from around the world. In fact, no global conference on the topic is complete without significant reference to at least one of these "home run" examples. This raises the question: Is there something about microfinance and mobile telephony that has enabled such stunning success? The answer is yes! When you examine each of these industries closely, it quickly becomes apparent that each is really a means to an end, rather than an end in itself. Indeed, microfinance and mobile telephony are not end products, but rather are enabling platforms that facilitate people to accomplish any number of tasks and deliver a wide range of functionalities. They are, in short, the equivalent of "unfinished symphonies." Microfinanciers and rural wireless service providers enable poor slum dwellers and villagers to figure out for themselves how best to weave these new services into their lives. For these customers, this may mean mobile transfer of funds, communicating in code with a loved one, acquiring a third cow, accurate information on crop prices, or expanding a current micro-enterprise. My colleague Erik Simanis calls these types of products and services value open since they enable people to complete the value proposition for themselves. Unfortunately, most multinational corporations have chosen BoP strategies that effectively deliver finished symphonies with defined value propositions in the mistaken (though well-intentioned) belief that they know better than the poor themselves what their real needs are. What works in the established markets at the top of the income pyramid, however, does not work so well in the emerging BoP space. Time-tested marketing research methods (e.g. consumer surveys, focus groups, ethnographic studies) are excellent ways to uncover new opportunities in already established markets, where low cost or differentiation strategies rule and customers are already accustomed to paying money for service. However, when it comes to serving the BoP, the challenge is not one of uncovering latent demand, but rather one of creating entirely new markets and industries, where only informality, self-provisioning or barter previously ruled. To effectively realize the vast business potential at the base of the pyramid, corporations must thus show a bit of humility. Companies must come to view the poor more as partners and colleagues rather than merely clients or consumers. Such an approach calls for deep dialogue (two-way communication) rather than just deep listening. To realize this mindset shift requires the development of a new "native capability" which focuses on co-creating business concepts and business models with the poor, rather than simply marketing inexpensive versions of top-of-the-pyramid products to low income consumers. The logic of co-creation does not, however, mean simply entering underserved communities with a completely open mind and no sense of business purpose or direction. On the contrary, companies must clearly communicate what resources they bring to the table in the form of skills, capabilities, and technological potential; they must do so, however, without prematurely imposing a final product or technological solution. The aim then is to marry corporate global best practices and technologies from the company with the local knowledge, skills, and aspirations of the local community--to complete the "unfinished symphony" together. Done well, such an approach to BoP business development holds the potential to create entirely new product and service categories that are embedded in the actual context (rather than simply cheaper versions of existing products from the top of the pyramid). Embedding also means creating "community pull" for BoP innovations, since they have been co-created with community members, rather than engaging in the expensive and time-consuming process of "social marketing" to educate and promote behavior change among the poor. Over the past seven years, my colleagues and I have been focused on developing such an approach for companies to effectively co-create new markets in the BoP. The approach is called the BoP Protocol. We have now experimented with this approach in a half-dozen different business contexts in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and have learned a great deal about how to engage local partners and communities in the dance of co-creation. Many others have also embarked on similar learning journeys to unravel the keys to successfully creating the inclusive businesses of tomorrow that embrace all of humanity and end the scourge of poverty. My colleague Ted London and I have gathered some of the most important emerging contributions in this regard in a new book, Next Generation Business Strategies for the Base of the Pyramid. Our conclusion: There is no "fortune at the bottom of the pyramid" waiting to be discovered. Instead, the challenge for companies is to learn how to create a fortune with the base of the pyramid. Franz Schubert's Unfinished Symphony in the 19th century may thus hold the key to a more inclusive form of capitalism for the 21st century. I'm Stuart L.

A few years ago, I defined the concept of sustainable value; my work includes over 70 academic papers and several books. Capitalism at the Crossroads, published in 2005, was selected by Cambridge University as one of the 50 top books on sustainability of all-time; the third edition of the book was published in 2010. I present new strategies for identifying sustainable products, technologies, and business models that will drive urgently needed growth and help solve social and environmental problems at the same time. I also argue that corporations are the only entities in the world today with the technology, resources, capacity, and global reach required. Beyond Greening: Strategies for a Sustainable World won the 1997 McKinsey Award for Best Article in Harvard Business Review and helped launch the movement for corporate sustainability. With C.K.

Recently, dynamical systems theory has become popular in describing visual control of locomotion. Nevertheless, traditional geometric cues (e.g., egocentric directions of current heading and target) are still often used. Even some of the Gibsonians seem to have accepted the need for using egocentric target direction in addition to optic flow. Rogers, Kadar, and Costall (2005a, 2005b), however, argued in support of a Gibsonian approach with the inclusion of gaze functions. In the present study, gaze patterns in 3 phases of a steering-into-lane task were analyzed as a function of driving speed, lane condition, and levels of expertise. Although the results could be used to generalize recent theoretical attempts to describe movement trajectory as a function of egocentric and target direction, a Gibsonian framework with active gaze control provides a simpler and more robust model. Accordingly, drivers prefer to minimize steering and direct their gaze straight ahead but this strategy is occasionally disrupted by looking sideways to anticipate future heading or avoid imminent collision. In general, drivers direct their gaze toward surfaces they intend to move toward or surfaces they intend to avoid so that their gaze facilitates information detection from optic. This strategy seems fairly simple but becomes complex when the demands of 2 gaze-control tasks (approach and avoidance) are in conflict.

Trademark Law: Civil and Criminal Remedies Trademark is one of the components of intellectual property that ensures the protection of mark of the owner. Intellectual property is the development of human intellect in which any unique creation, idea, inventions, or mark is being protected. Intellectual property is legal right that is provided to the inventor of unique product for the protection of their right for a specific period of time. The intellectual property rights help people to declare or claim ownership over their creativity or inventions in various fields. The main objective of the intellectual property rights is to motivate or inspire the invention, ideas, which includes inventions, artwork, or technology for the effective increase in economic growth of the country. Intellectual property rights expand the inducement for an individual to continue to strive to produce such new inventions or creations which can create new opportunities. Trademark is not a mandatory requirement of the law but once it has been accepted, the allotted can advertise in a prescribed manner. In recent years, due to rapid development that takes place in country at various sectors, a productive development in industrial sector can be seen to lead the growth in the extent of intellectual property rights. Trademark provides an exclusive right to the owner of the mark to use that mark and also to prevent others for using that mark simultaneously for their own purpose. As we know trademark as an element of IPR, registration for trademark is not compulsory for the individual or enterprise but it provides protection against any kind of violation to rights. It is the kind of intellectual property which includes name, number, design, expression, or sign which give recognition to the products or services. Trademark is a sign that differentiates the goods or services of different enterprises. It is different from any other form of components of intellectual property rights such as copyright, patent, geographical indication and others. Trademark usually advertises the products whose symbols, designs are different from others which are already in trade competition. Trademark safeguards the interest of both consumer and trader. Consumer can relate the product and its quality which has been assured by the trader with the other trader. Trader on the other hand, can prevent the unnecessary interference of competitor from using his own mark and take profit. For this trader must ensure about the distinctiveness of his mark. The person applicant has to mention certain necessary information regarding to their mark as type of goods, mark, class of service before the Registrar. Registrar is the final authority to determine in which category the Particular good shall fall. World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is one of the specialized and important agencies of the United Nations. WIPO came into force on 26 April 1970 which was created under Convention on Establishing World Intellectual Property Organization. WIPO is a successor to BIRPI which administered the Berne Convention for the protection of literary and artistic works and Paris Convention for the protection of Industrial Property. WIPO succeeded the BIRPI because its principles were not adequate to deal with the new problems that have emerged. The main objective behind the formation of WIPO is to promote and protect the intellectual property across the world with the cooperating member countries. Similarly, Paris Convention which was established for the protection of industrial property signed in Paris on 20 March 1883. It was one of the first intellectual property treaty signed at the international level and it is still in force. It has been established for the purpose of safeguarding the interest of the inventor or the owner of the property in other member countries also. Paris Convention provides common standard to the applicant for the protection of their right. Under this Convention, an applicant can file an application for the protection of their property rights at same country in which he has applied for. The only requisite to file an application is that the applicant must ensure that the country in which he is applying for must be a member country to the Paris convention. In India earliest, there was Trademark and Merchandise Act, 1958 which was replaced by Trademark Act, 1999 with complies to TRIPS, Trade related aspects of Intellectual Property Rights. The main motive of this act is to safeguard the rights of trademark and provide legal remedies. Trademark constitutes the origin, quality and goodwill which is affixed to the enterprise and with the help of which consumer identifies business, brand. Under section 2(zb) of Indian trademark Act, 1999 trademark means a mark capable of being represented graphically and which is capable of distinguishing the goods or services of one person from those of others and may include shape of goods, their packaging, and combination of colours. A mark can include device, brand, heading, label, ticket, name, signature, work, letter, numeral, shapes of goods, combination, and packaging. Trademark Law deals with registration, protection, and prevention of fraudulent use of mark. It also provides rights acquired by registered trademark and also the remedies to the owner. Trademark law provides recognition to the mark of owner and also provides exclusive right so that the owner can use it in an effective manner. But when third party violates the exclusive rights of registered trademark, it is known as infringement to the trademark. Mostly people use deceptive logos and brands to advertise their copied product for gaining profits. Trademark law protects the interest of both registered and non-registered trademark . Remedy is a measure to redress the wrong which has been done arbitrarily by other just to gain profit by using misappropriate methods and the motive behind such act is to deceit others. Under trademark law, basically there are two types of remedies available for the violation of rights – Civil and Criminal remedies. Civil remedies includes; - Injunction, Temporary and Perpetual - Damages - Removal of product - The first and foremost remedy provided under this act is that the aggrieved person can file a suit for injunction in court of law to restrict the person for claiming their mark as original and earn profits. Two kinds of injunction can be granted by court either temporary or perpetual by taking into consideration the nature of the suit. When the concerned suit is about to get a decree and is of permanent in nature, such suit is perpetual injunction. Perpetual injunction is granted on the merits of the case. Temporary injunction is granted for a specific time period before the passing of the final decree by the court. This is a necessary remedy which can be initiated after getting the knowledge about violation to the right. - Damages is another form of remedy and is claimed by the person who has an exclusive right to the mark by producing the certificate of registration to the concerned authority and restrict the person who intentionally uses his mark with the purpose to deceit other people. The original owner can claim damages by computing the loss he has suffered in the market. Owner can recover compensation by proving damage to his reputation. - Another civil remedy which an owner can claim is that he can remove the product from the market which has been infringed. He will have to suffer some losses but it can prevent the intervention of third party from using his mark as it was his own skill, labour behind that unique mark. Protection of intellectual property is available for both criminal and civil law. But criminal remedy is an effective means for protection of rights as compared to civil remedy. A criminal complaint can be filed against the infringer in the court of law. A person can directly give complaint to a magistrate under section 156(3) of CrPC or can lodge a complaint with the police. Some provisions have been invoked as remedy under Trademark Act, 1999: - Section 103 of Trademark Act provides the provisions for penalty to the infringer. If any person deceitfully applies their identical logo to registers trademark, he shall be liable for imprisonment for a term of not less than 6 months which can be extended upto 3 years with the fine of Rs. 50,000 which is subject to extension of Rs. 2,00,000. - Under section 104 of the Act, if any person found indulged in assisting the accused to hire, sell or have possession of such identical goods or in the service to those goods for sale or, he shall be liable for imprisonment for a term not less than 6 months and may be extended to 6 years with fine of Rs. 50,000 which may be extended to Rs. 2,00,000. - Penalty under section 105 which describes if any person committing the offence under section 103 and 104, shall be punishable for every subsequent offence with imprisonment for a term of less than one year or a fine of less than one lakh rupees. The time limit for filing the suit of infringement of trademark in the court of law is three years from the date of infringement. - Apart from both the civil and criminal remedies, provisions for administrative remedies under trademark law is also available. Opposition application may be filed by the third party to oppose the similar copy of trademark. Another way of remedy is the rectification of registers trademark to avoid the confusion between original and copied trademark. To prevent violation, the administrative authority can keep check over the trade of goods if the products are registered. Trademark is a unique symbol used by the individual or business organization which has an absolute right to use or sell it. The right may be enjoyed by the person to whom the owner of the right has permitted to use it. The right of trademark is protected under trademark law where several provisions prevent the intervention of third party into the right of original mark's owner. Intellectual property is intangible in nature and cannot be kept in a locker, it is available to the general public. The right of trademark can be lost by abandoning the use of the mark or improper license. With the view to protect the trademark rights, one of the necessary components is that the mark must be unique which has no identical form or character to existing product. Under trademark law, provision for the remedy is also available to aggrieved person in the form of civil, criminal as well as administrative assistance. Violation of rights provide negative impact on the creativity of person and reduces the value of the product. It is very much important to ensure the safety of intellectual property rights. With the passage of time, new inventions and creations are on the way, it is a positive sign for the development of the society. Registration of trademark is increasing day by day, but still people are not much aware about their rights and liabilities towards intellectual property. To register the intellectual property or to avail the benefits from the same, it is necessary for the individual to convert that intellectual property into tangible form so that it can be recognized and get registered.

According to the Huffington Post, the "surprising escape" of Chen Guangcheng, a blind legal activist, from house arrest to the presumed custody of U.S. diplomats was "buoying China's embattled dissident community" even as the government lashed out, "detaining those who helped him and squelching mention of his name on the Internet." Two points bear further scrutiny. Chen Guangcheng, after his escape, with Hu Jia. First, that Chinese security officials "reacted angrily" strikes me as strange. It is as if institutional interests naturally prompt strong human emotions as though an insult were taken personally. In other words, unless the dissident had insulted or otherwise directly harmed the particular officials, it does not make sense that they would angrily inflict pain on the dissident's supporters who were taken into custody after the escape. An institutional loss is not a personal affront. To treat the former as if it were the latter is essentially to anthropomorphize a given organization. Second, the "squelching mention" of Chen Guangcheng's name on the internet must have been a mission of futility in 2012. "Anything vaguely related to Chen [was] blocked on Chinese social media sites, such as posts including or key word searches for Chen, Guangcheng, GC, or even the words 'blind person'." The inclusion of the latter term is almost funny in its overkill; it certainly points to the futility of tracing millions of blog posts and emails on the incident. After savvy internet users used "Shawshank Redemption" to refer indirectly to Chen, that movie title became a banned search term. The Chinese government was definitely playing defensive ball at that point. My point is that the game of snuffing out communication on the internet had already been lost—assuming the Chinese government does not prohibit the internet itself in China. The government officials' antiquated responses—both in terms of emotion and technology—suggest that the Chinese regime was still holding onto the ways of another century. This could be an indication that that regime will not survive the twenty-first. As technology continues to widen and deepen, antiquated means of control will become less and less efficacious through the century. Given the habit of officials reacting in "anger," we can expect the increased difficulty with control to lead to more pain being inflicted on citizens. This in turn should lead to more popular resentment. In other words, the antiquated responses of government officials could be the seed of the regime's destruction.

Imagine having a digital assistant that can not only answer your questions but also navigate the web, solve complex math problems, write code, and even reason about images and text-based games. Sound too good to be true? Well, brace yourselves because the future of artificial intelligence just got a whole lot more accessible and transparent with the introduction of LUMOS. In a groundbreaking development, researchers from the Allen Institute for AI, UCLA, and the University of Washington have unveiled LUMOS, an open-source framework that promises to revolutionize the way we interact with language agents. Unlike existing closed-source solutions that often feel like black boxes, LUMOS offers an unprecedented level of affordability, transparency, and reproducibility, making it a game-changer in the world of AI. But what exactly is LUMOS, and why is it causing such a stir in the AI community? Buckle up, because we're about to dive into the nitty-gritty details of this remarkable innovation, exploring how it works, what it can do, and why it matters more than you might think. Current language agents often rely on large, closed-source language models like GPT-4 or ChatGPT as the core component. While powerful, these models are expensive, need more transparency, and provide limited reproducibility and controllability. The LUMOS framework takes a different approach by utilizing open-source large language models (LLMs) as the base models. It employs a unified and modular architecture consisting of three key components: a planning module, a grounding module, and an execution module. The planning module decomposes complex tasks into a sequence of high-level subgoals expressed in natural language. For example, for a multimodal question like "The device in her hand is from which country?", the planning module might generate two subgoals: "Identify the brand of the device" and "Answer the country of the device brand." The grounding module then translates these high-level subgoals into executable low-level actions that can be executed by various tools in the execution module. For instance, the first subgoal might be grounded into an action like "VQA(<img>, What is the brand..?)" to identify the device brand from the image using a visual question-answering tool. The execution module contains a collection of off-the-shelf tools, including APIs, neural models, and virtual simulators, that can execute the grounded actions. The results of these executed actions are then fed back into the planning and grounding modules, enabling an iterative and adaptive agent behavior. One of the key advantages of LUMOS is its modular design, which allows for easy upgrades and wider applicability to diverse interactive tasks. By separating the planning, grounding, and execution components, researchers can improve or replace individual modules without affecting the others. To train LUMOS, the researchers curated a large-scale, high-quality dataset of over 56,000 annotations derived from diverse ground-truth reasoning rationales across various complex interactive tasks, including question answering, mathematics, coding, web browsing, and multimodal reasoning. These annotations were obtained by employing GPT-4 and other advanced language models to convert existing benchmarks into a unified format compatible with the LUMOS architecture. The resulting dataset is one of the largest open-source resources for agent fine-tuning, enabling smaller language models to be trained as language agents effectively. In evaluations across nine datasets, LUMOS exhibited several key advantages. It outperformed multiple larger open-source agents on held-out datasets for each task type, even surpassing GPT agents on question-answering and web tasks in some cases. LUMOS also outperformed agents produced by other training methods, such as chain-of-thoughts and unmodularized integrated training. LUMOS notably demonstrated impressive generalization capabilities, significantly outperforming 30B-scale (WizardLM-30B and Vicuna-v1.3-33B) and domain-specific agents on unseen tasks involving new environments and actions. With its open-source nature, competitive performance, and strong generalization abilities, LUMOS represents a significant step forward in developing affordable, transparent, and reproducible language agents for complex interactive tasks.

As a high-end sports brand that has been involved in golf nets for decades, 갈릴레오 스포츠 will take you inside the world of 벤 호건 to discover his legendary golf journey and his driving distance 누구인가 벤 호건? Ben Hogan won 64 PGA 투어 events and nine majors during his career. What's even more remarkable is that golf's top four majors all have trophies in their hands, and until now only five people have been able to do so. Do you think this is a reason for me to God? Bad! I want to kneel is the great God this all the way to fight strange upgrade to win the legendary life. 초기 생활 및 경력 시작 겸손한 시작 Ben Hogan was born in 1912 in Stephenville, Texas, to a modest family. His early life was marked by hardship, including the tragic loss of his father when Hogan was just nine years old. This event had a profound impact on drive and resilience that would later define his career. Discovering Golf Hogan's introduction to golf came at the age of 11 when he started caddying at Glen Garden Country Club to help support his family. It was here that he developed a deep love for the game. Despite his small stature, Hogan's tenacity and worke He would often practice for hours, honing his skills and dreaming of a future in professional golf. 두각을 나타내다 초기 투쟁 Hogan turned professional in 1930, but his path to success was far from smooth. He struggled financially, often traveling from tournament to tournament with little more than hope and determination. His initial years on the PGA Tour were marked by repeated fail about his future in golf. 터닝 포인트 The breakthrough came in 1940 when Hogan won his first professional tournament at the North and South Open. This victory was the catalyst for a series of successes, including three consecutive victories at the Asheville Open, Hershey Open, and the North and These wins marked the beginning of Hogan's rise to prominence in the golf world. Developing the Iconic Swing One of Hogan's most significant contributions to golf was his unique swing technique. Known for its precision and consistency, Hogan's swing became the gold standard for golfers worldwide. His book, "Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf," remains a seminal work in the sport, offering timeless advice on mastering the swing. 참고: 사용 Galileo sports golf cage at home anytime, anywhere practice swing, strictly follow his teaching points, practice day after day, I believe that you will be successful How far did Hogan's kickoff go? Ben Hogan is known as one of the most consistent players in the history of golf, not only as a pure hitter, but also as a player with a graceful swing. Although he is not known for his distance from the ball, he uses precision and accuracy to dominate the game. Hogan's perfect timing enabled him to often hit the ball into the ideal position, and when he took his chance, even with the powerful kickoff Sahm. 샘 스니드 is competing against him. In modern times, we have easy access to statistics about a player's performance, the distance and accuracy of their kicks. At Hogan's peak, however, these figures were not recorded. So we have to rely on anecdotal evidence from golf historians to ma . In a 1953 study, Golf Digest looked at tee shots on the 18th hole during the third round of the US Open at Oakmont Country Club (which Hogan won). The study was conducted by 로버트 트렌트 존스Winds were slightly favorable that day and were expected to add an average of 5 to 8 yards. The average kickoff distance (including rolling distance) on the day was 261 yards, while Hogan's kickoff distance was 266 y While this is just data for one hole, one day, specific weather and ground conditions, it provides a reasonable clue. In 1949, a Time magazine article mentioned that Hogan's kickoff distance was 265 야드, which is consistent with a 1953 Trent Jones study. In a Shell's Wonderful World of Golf tournament in the 1960s, Hogan's tee shot was still around 265 yards. At the 1950 Merion US Open, Hogan used a 1-iron to hit the green on the 18th hole, which was 458 yards long and Hogan hit from about 200 yards. That means his kickoff distance is about 258 yards. kickoff distance may have been reduced by a few yards due to injuries he suffered in a car accident a year ago, again suggesting that his normal kickoff distance is around 265 yards. While we can't know for sure, it's reasonable to speculate that Hogan's average kickoff return during the peak of his career was about 265 yards. Hogan's Legacy in Golf 혁신과 공헌 Beyond his playing career, Hogan's influence extended to golf equipment and instruction.

Let's do a Handstitched Stitchalong! Starting the week of September 18 Let's face facts, Summer is winding down. It is kind of bittersweet, I know. But I can't say I'm not ready for a little more routine around here. What about you? The biggest news here is that my daughter is leaving for college in a few days. She'll be about five hours away. Not a terribly long distance, but far enough! We have bins to pack, sheets and towels to buy, dorm rooms to decorate, and you know what that means? I am distracting myself with sewing. And important stuff like daydreaming up new projects. One of those new projects is a stitch along. I love stitch alongs. They feels like community to me. Its very easy to spend lots of hours here sewing and I do love it, but it can be pretty quiet. But with a stitch along, we're all working on a common thing. I've been itching to do a project like this for a while, and with Facebook Live videos so easy to do, it really can be like we're doing it together! My plan is to stitch on air at scheduled times, and you can ask me questions that I can answer in real time! (Don't worry, if you join the stitch along and can't catch the video live, you will still be able to catch the replay, and I'll be sure and share details on that.) The project I'm planning for the stitchalong is the project called "Handstitched" from Wise Craft Quilts. When I designed this project for the book, my intention was to make a framed piece. Not a "quilt" in the traditional sense, but one that could utilize smaller, special pieces of fabric, and create something that could be framed and hung on a wall. This piece, as its name implies, is completely hand stitched using a technique called English Paper Piecing. Each piece of fabric is sewn around a paper template. There is no machine stitching required. This technique creates perfectly sharp corners and curves, and is really fun to do once you get the hang of it. (I promise, it is NOT scary at all.) No machine stitching means its great to throw in your bag for stitching on the go (like while we're waiting at kid's after school activities). The first version I made was so fun, in fact, I stitched a second one. This one I sent to Denyse. (Maybe you can see the reflection of one of her quilts in the background, below.) During the stitch along, I'll walk you through everything and show you exactly how to do each step! The actual project is quite fast. I completed each of mine in a weekend. The stitch along will officially start the week of September 18, which means the first Facebook Live video will happen during that week, and I'll be sure to post the exact date and time. Things to know now about the Stitchalong: - This project is suitable for all levels, even if you have never English Paper Pieced before! I will be demonstrating it and promise you will soon be addicted. - You will need a set of the paper templates to complete this project, but be sure to join my email list if you're not already on it, I will be giving out discount info to the list! - We will begin the week of September 18, and I will announce details as we get closer. - You will need a copy of Wise Craft Quilts in order to play along. Its not manditory, but it does contain lots of helpful information about layout, yardage, and thoughts on color, and could help answer questions that may come up. What do you say? Will you stitch along with me? If you'd like to join the Wise Craft Quilts Facebook Group I'll be posting more info there soon. Please leave a comment with any questions both at the bottom of this post, or in the Wise Craft Quilts Facebook Group.

James Argent 'sacked from Towie after testing positive for cocaine' 11 May 2019, 15:49 The TOWIE star is reported to have failed a drug test and will no longer be on the ITV reality show. Argent, 31, has struggled with drugs in the past and has previously spent time in rehab facilities. "It's a shame but James' problems flared up again, and he failed a routine test," a source told The Sun. "As a result Lime Pictures aren't working with him, and it has sparked more concerns among his friends who fear he isn't looking after himself. "His weight has rocketed recently which he says he plans to tackle, but getting back involved with drugs is even worse. It's a dangerous path he is going down." A TOWIE spokesperson declined to comment on drug testing but confirmed "there are no current plans to film with James on TOWIE or Gemma's forthcoming series." Argent has been in an on-again, off-again relationship with TOWIE co-star Gemma Collins, and appeared in her solo reality show 'Diva España', which is expanding into a full series. Read more: James Argent apologises for fat-shaming Gemma Collins. Argent discussed his health and weight issues earlier in the week on ITV's 'This Morning' where Dr Ranj Singh broke the news that the reality star needs to lose 10 stone. Despite the harsh message he told Instagram followers it made him feel better. "It's time I finally addressed it, It's time I owned it & it's time I do something about it," he posted.

See article on page537 The upper oesophageal sphincter (UOS) remains closed at rest as a result of a combination of intrinsic muscle tone and passive pressure from the anterior mass of the larynx. This tonic activity is augmented during inspiration, thus preventing oesophageal air penetration each time intrathoracic pressure falls. UOS tonic pressure undergoes a further augmentation if the tubular oesophagus is distended—a protective reflex against oesophagopharyngeal regurgitation. Once oral preparation of an ingested bolus is complete, UOS tonic activity is abolished during the pharyngeal phase of a swallow. As the laryngopharynx elevates and shortens to engulf the bolus, the simultaneous forward tug of the rising hyoid on the anterior UOS wall brings about mechanical opening of the sphincter. The nature of the deglutition reflex remains somewhat mysterious. The trigger to the onset of the ultra-rapid pharyngeal phase of swallowing is only semireflexive. All of us at times select the preferred moment of swallow—when we feel the bolus has been sufficiently chewed, when the social moment is right. Equally all of us have been caught out by the premature onset of a swallow reflex—when the bolus still feels too big to be swallowed, but seems to be escaping precipitately from the oropharynx. The elements of the swallow …

The history of the rue des Rosiers, by the Beef, steakhouse in Paris From the Middle Ages to the present day: the history of Rue des Rosiers Do you know the Pletzl? No, it has nothing to do with the Alsatian pretzel! It is the Yiddish translation of Marais. Because the mythical rue des Rosiers (75004 Paris) has been famous for its Jewish community since its creation. A short stroll through time.. From the 13th to the 19th century, a street favoured by Jewish immigration The street was built in 1230, along the ramparts of a certain Philippe Auguste. Its name is due to the presence of rosebushes that brighten up the surrounding gardens. The Knights Templar, who gave their name to the famous Temple district, brought the first Jews here on a crusade, accompanied by spices and exotic products. Shortly before the French Revolution, there were more than 2,000 Jews in the district, whose kosher butcher shops were located in Rue des Rosiers During the Belle Époque, the street saw the birth of two emblematic characters: a very famous theatre actress called Rachel, and a colourful prostitute nicknamed Casque d'Or.. Sephardim join the Ashkenazim Traditionally inhabited by the former Jews of Paris, the street gradually welcomed Ashkenazi Jews during the 20th century. They came mainly from Poland and Hungary, as well as Sephardic Jews repatriated from Algeria. The infamous bombing of 9 August 1982 plunged the community into mourning, already shaken by the Vel d'Hiv roundup in 1942. The revival of Rue des Rosiers In 2006, the Rue des Rosiers became pedestrianised over a large part of its 303 metres. This has made it easier for more and more tourists to visit. Find out why the street has become so popular nowadays. Many trendy shops are opening their doors, and in 2020 it is the turn of our meat restaurant to proudly open its doors. To complement the various food shops on the street, the Beef offers exceptional meats. The meat is matured for 30 days. On the menu, marbled meats, rib steaks, flank steaks and other tomahawks. They are prepared by chef Daniel Renaudie. Don't forget to make a reservation in our steakhouse, open for lunch and dinner, 7 days a week!

Question about Dell Latitude D600 Notebook during a disk check aborted half way through repairing the files that it had already removed, (into quarantine - i think). i was left with my D6oo unable to boot as it said "no primary hard disk was detected." please can anyone help hopefully with a quick-fix solution?? Posted by taylorkerry on it won't pick up my new hard drive i bought and put in I repaced my hard drive about 4 months ago and the laptop worked great until last week. I got blue screen errors a couple times, was able to reboot then it would not boot at all... Running diagnostics now - it passed the Self test and is 1/2 way throught the read test. Last night I tried to install a 2nd windows - it still would not boot. Will reformatting and reloading make a difference? Hate to do it because it looks like everything is there - just not recognized. If you press F12 during bootup, you should get the boot menu. Run the hard disk diagnostic. If the hard disk is bad, you will get a DST Short Test Error code. Replacing the hard disk in a D600 is a piece of cake though so if you need a new HD, it's easy to do.

Overview of Amy Bradley Amy Bradley was a 23-year-old woman from Chesapeake, Virginia who disappeared while on a Caribbean cruise with her family in 1998. On the night of her disappearance, Amy was seen sitting on the balcony of her cabin with a man who was later identified as a crew member. She was never seen again and her disappearance remains a mystery to this day. Amy's parents, Ron and Iva Bradley, have spent the last two decades searching for answers about what happened to their daughter. They have followed leads, interviewed witnesses, and conducted their own investigations, but so far their efforts have yielded no concrete answers. The Bradleys believe that Amy was taken against her will and may have been sold into the sex trafficking industry. Despite extensive search efforts and media attention, there have been no confirmed sightings of Amy and her case remains unsolved. The Bradleys continue to hold out hope that their daughter will be found and have offered a $250,000 reward for information leading to her return. Amy's disappearance has garnered significant attention, with many speculating about what may have happened to her. Some believe that she may have fallen overboard, while others think she may have been kidnapped and sold into sex trafficking. The lack of concrete information and the passage of time have only added to the mystery surrounding Amy's disappearance. The Bradleys have not given up hope and continue to search for their daughter. They are urging anyone with information about Amy's disappearance to come forward and help bring her home.

College basketball is poised for a triumphant return. Here's what it will take for it to happen IOWA CITY, Ia. – Iowa's Fran McCaffery boldly stated what many in the college basketball community have come to believe. "I'm certain that there will be a college basketball season and an NCAA Tournament," the Hawkeye coach declared Aug. 2, giving fans a rare sign of hope in what has been a trying year. It may not start on time. It may end with May Madness, preserving the alliteration if not the tradition. Not all schools may be able to compete as the COVID-19 pandemic will require extreme measures. But there is a strong sense that basketball will reach its conclusion in 2021, after the cancellation of its tournament last March signaled that 2020 would be a year of malaise in the world of college sports. McCaffery enters his 11th season as Hawkeye coach with his best team yet, led by all-American center Luka Garza. Iowa is considered a national title contender, and fans are clamoring to cheer on the Hawkeyes, especially after the gloom earlier this week when Big Ten Conference canceled a fall football season. More:Iowa's Luka Garza is an unlikely college basketball star with the help of grueling workouts Mark Few, the coach of another team with championship aspirations in Gonzaga, echoed McCaffery's confidence that a basketball season is within reach. "You just have to have an open mind and the wherewithal to stay positive and make it happen," said Few, who has been strategizing with fellow coaches all summer on creative ways to get games played. "I think the NCAA has to do everything humanly possible in the next three months to put together a game plan for college basketball," said Fran Fraschilla, a former coach who is now a TV analyst primarily covering the Big 12 Conference. "We have to find out how many conferences as possible can afford to regularly test the student-athletes (for the new coronavirus). "For the psyche of the country, we have to do what we can to get back as close to normal as possible. And I also think financially it makes sense that the major networks have games to put on so they can fulfill their contracts with the conferences, so these schools have that revenue." That may mean not starting the season until January. It could be that teams only play within their conferences. It's possible that leagues will try to emulate the NBA and create "bubbles" in which competition can take place. On Thursday, NCAA president Mark Emmert suggested that winter sports, including the NCAA Tournament, could utilize a bubble environment for its championships. "Will it be normal? Of course not. It'll be playing fall sports in the spring. Will it create other conflicts and challenges? Of course," Emmert said. "But is it doable? Yeah. And we want to do that. We want to make it work for these students." The tradeoff may be an absence of spectators, just like the NBA. But at least it would mean college athletes from all conferences competing in their chosen sport, televised live, something that hasn't been seen since March 12. How the scheduling might work, with non-conference games in jeopardy One thing working in basketball's favor is that, unlike football, there is a unifying voice. His name is Dan Gavitt, and he's the NCAA's vice president for the sport. Fraschilla was once on the same coaching staff as Gavitt at Providence College. He's seen how his friend operates. "Dan has the power of persuasion in his favor. I think he's someone that all the stakeholders trust to do what's in the best interest of everybody involved, including the student-athletes," Fraschilla said. The first challenge will be what to do about non-conference games, those typically held in November and December. They are often played in exotic locales like Hawaii and Cancun. Those events don't seem viable now. Nor does it make sense in a pandemic for small schools to travel across the country to play major universities in exchange for a big payday. That would hurt programs like Maine, where Richard Barron had five such games lined up until he lost a date with Colorado when the Pac-12 announced this week that it won't allow any athletic competition until Jan. 1. Contests against Rutgers, Virginia Tech, South Florida and St. Joseph's are still on the Black Bears' schedule. For now. "The economic ramifications for these schools are going to last for a long, long time," Barron said of teams that rely on "guarantee" games to finance their operations. Barron knows that preserving the America East schedule is the priority. But he is holding out hope that, with three months to plan, the season can begin on time. "It's arbitrary," he said of the possibility of not starting until Jan. 1. "It may make sense. But we may be OK in November. There's just a lot that can happen between now and then. The sooner we get a rapid test, so we can administer it on gameday, I think that's the way to go. Without it, we have to do the bubble, which for a lot of places would be cost-prohibitive." Ben Jacobson has a different reason for wanting to preserve non-conference games. It's the best chance for his Northern Iowa Panthers to prove themselves on a national scale before beginning Missouri Valley Conference play. This season, he has games scheduled at Richmond, vs. New Mexico State at a neutral site, and in a Cayman Islands tournament in which Northern Iowa is set to open against Nevada. "They're either going to put you in the at-large discussion (for the NCAA Tournament) or keep you out of it, but at least you'd get to play the games," Jacobson said. "Not only do we need those opportunities to get into the at-large picture, but we look forward to them." Fraschilla thinks the best chance to hold non-conference games is to move tournaments to the mainland and create bubbles for a week or two. That means the players and coaches would be tested for COVID-19 and quarantined for the duration of the event before returning to their campuses on conclusion. Few said Spokane, Washington, could easily host such an event. The city, home to Gonzaga, was going to be the site of opening-round games in last year's NCAA Tournament, and has the hotel capacity and enough basketball courts to host three games simultaneously. "It's pretty simple to get eight, 10, 12 like-minded institutions at a time to meet somewhere and you could easily knock out six or eight games in a 10-day period, then go home and rest and practice, test and get healthy and then go do it again," Few said. "That would essentially be the non-conference right there and you can do it easily in less than a month." Few said the coaches he's spoken to would like to make certain that smaller schools are included, since they stand to lose the most if the non-conference portion of the season falls by the wayside. "Maybe instead of writing them a check, we fly them up and test them and put them up in a hotel and they get three games or four games," he said. "Everybody has been so open-minded with it and not so territorial, like football seemed to be." Profile:To know Gonzaga's Mark Few is to know 'Fewy' It's also how Fraschilla envisions conference play happening for the nation's top 12 leagues. In the Big 12, for example, he outlined a scenario in which all 10 teams would gather in Kansas City for a few weeks and play nine games. A month later, they would do the same in Dallas. What works for the Big 12 won't work for all conferences. Jacobson said the upcoming season might further expose the financial gap between the top and bottom of college basketball's spectrum. "That divide has been widening for a number of years now and it seems to be getting wider faster in the last five years than it ever has," Jacobson said. "If they can pull off a bubble for two weeks or two months, I don't have any issues with that. It won't be feasible for all 32 leagues." Jay Bilas, a college basketball analyst for ESPN, thinks travel will be possible this winter, but that leagues will look to regionalize play, similar to what Major League Baseball is doing. That means Michigan and Michigan State may face each other three times instead of two. The Iowa Hawkeyes may play a schedule heavy on their border rivals and not head east to face Rutgers or Maryland. "The schools that are farthest away, like Nebraska, Rutgers, Maryland, may have to play multiple games on a road trip. They may not get as many home games this year. But they don't have to worry about the gate (ticket money). They don't have to worry about fans. They need to prepare for that. That may be OK for one year," Bilas said. "I'm confident they'll do everything they can to get the games played." The pandemic challenge: At Army, a 58-page dossier says it all Zak Boisvert has a 58-page dossier on his desk that signals how strange this college basketball season will be. He is an assistant coach at Army, and the insurance company and athletic training staff there have offered detailed instructions about how the practices, games and travel are to be handled. "We're going to come close to sealing this place off," Boisvert said of the military academy, where all students are being tested weekly for COVID-19. "So we can do some measures that frankly I don't think work at a lot of other places." The Black Knights have been "practicing" for two weeks, but that consists of each player using his own hoop and his own basketball, essentially 15 guys playing alone in their driveways. The dossier includes "a five-week progression to normalcy," Boisvert said, meaning actual practices are a few weeks away. Army, which competes in the Patriot League, is scheduled to open play Nov. 9 at Notre Dame. The team is operating as if that will happen, although Boisvert thinks there's so much momentum for delaying the season to Jan. 1 that that is what will actually occur. "Everyone's acting like this Jan. 1 thing is going to be this end-all, be-all," he said. "What's going to be different on Jan. 1? I think there's going to be some start-stop to this season. The Patriot League has to decide how it's going to handle an outbreak on any campus. How do they handle a positive test?" Those do seem inevitable, as McCaffery's Hawkeyes found out last month, when at least three players tested positive for COVID-19 and workouts were halted for a two-week quarantine. Daniel Diekema is the director of the Division of Infectious Diseases with the University of Iowa Health Care. He has been studying the coronavirus and its spread, and believes that the United States never left the so-called "first wave" of the pandemic. He's not convinced things will markedly change by the time basketball season rolls around. "It's best to understand this pandemic as a constellation of little individual epidemics in different locations," Diekema said. "I very much doubt that this wave will be over by the time we hit the influenza season this winter. "The combination of school reopening in person, if that does happen, and the colder weather driving people indoors is almost certain to increase the rate of the spread of the virus." What that means for basketball is it's probably best to forget about letting any fans into the arenas. The coronavirus spreads more easily indoors. "The situations where we have seen these so-called 'super spreader' events have basically all been in crowded indoor settings where there's close contact and probably not well-ventilated spaces," Diekema observed. "Also, a lot of respiratory efforts, be it conversation or singing." Or cheering and booing. Diekema doesn't believe it is possible to make sporting activities safe this fall, the same conclusion the Big Ten and Pac-12 conferences have reached. He doesn't anticipate that a vaccine for COVID-19 will be widely available until early next year. Therefore, the only way to keep the coronavirus from disrupting a basketball season is to quarantine the players. And Diekema said, with such relatively small numbers, that is possible if the athletes and coaches never venture outside of their restrictive environment. That may be what it takes to get a season in. Jacobson said he believes his Panthers are willing to observe any protocol in order to play their sport. "It's going to take a concerted effort, and we all know that," he said. Few agreed, expressing frustration that the athletes are often not consulted when decisions are made to cancel seasons. "People underestimate how much it means to these kids," Few said. "We're encouraging them and helping them to get signed up and get out and vote. And yet we're not going to give you a vote on whether you play or not. And in some instances they've prepared pretty much all of their lives for this moment." Bilas thinks the players will be safest on their campuses, especially if there are no other students around. Many colleges are considering sending students home for Thanksgiving break and then not asking them to return for a couple of months for a delayed second semester. But Bilas believes if you're going to ask athletes to isolate themselves, it's well past time to be honest about what this endeavor really is. "They're not forming a bubble for the marching band. Nor are they forming a bubble for the school play. They're doing it for football and basketball," Bilas said. "There's no reason to do this except money. And that's OK because all of us are doing things for money. What's not OK is telling the players they can't have any. They're pros. We can't deny it anymore." The reward: An NCAA Tournament that will likely have a different feel The end game, as always, is to get to the NCAA Tournament, the three-week spectacle that essentially finances the entire operation. Universities lost an estimated $375 million when it was canceled in March. No one involved in basketball wants to think about that happening again. "They're going to do whatever they can to tip the ball on a Thursday afternoon in Raleigh, N.C., so they can get the CBS money," Boisvert said. The looming questions will be how many teams make it that far, and whether that Thursday afternoon is in March, April or May. The powerful conferences, those top 12 Fraschilla spoke of, will surely be represented. Barron doesn't think America East will be left behind, despite the challenges ahead. The nine-team league stretches from Maine to Maryland, so travel will be an issue. It's unlikely that the league can afford to put teams in a bubble for long stretches, but perhaps for one week in order to play its season-ending tournament. "I don't think that every conference will play games the same way. Some may have a full home-and-away, double round-robin within their league. Bigger conferences may play more league games because of the TV revenue they can get. I don't think anybody has given up on their school to have a basketball season," Barron said. "I do believe we'll find a way to do that (crown a league champion), even if it's rock, paper, scissors." Jacobson has a Valley title contender, led by NBA prospect A.J. Green. He's excited about his team, but concerned about what might happen if he's only able to play a conference schedule. Will the Valley only get one team into the NCAA field? That would put all the pressure on its four-day conference tournament. Unless ... "If we play only conference games, my hope would be that we expand the NCAA Tournament for one year, go up to 96 or 128 (teams). At a minimum, you take two teams from each league," Jacobson said. "I don't see any real problem with having an extra weekend in the NCAA Tournament. I think everybody around the country would be excited about it, coming out of what we're coming out of." Boisvert is hoping the Patriot League can complete a season for the sake of his athletes, who have a five-year military commitment ahead of them after graduating from West Point. "This is the last chance for our players to put on a basketball uniform and I feel for them in that their opportunity would be robbed. That last competitive environment, that last arena before they have to go and get a real job," Boisvert said. Mark Emmert covers the Iowa Hawkeyes for the Register.

I know I haven't blogged much in the past 3 months but my mind has been so full, and we've been busy. I'm one of those people that although I seem to handle multi tasking great on the outside but the truth is I can only handle 1 thing at a time(this is where IBS comes from, which I must share I finally found a good dr, I will have to share all this in a seperate post, since I have finally found the courage to discuss it). There has been alot going on, I will try to go back and do some updating. Here's a brief summary of the past several months of things that have happened or have really been on my mindI will try to go back and udpate the past few months in more detail also. - Christmas- it was busy!! Me and the kids got to spend Christmas eve with my parents. We had a good time and we all enjoyed each other's company, I was thankful for this time together. Todd got to spend the holidays with his parents as well. I know he enjoyed getting to see them since they are only able to get together a few times a year. CJ(Todd's brother) and Jett/Maxx (the Golden) even got to visit. - The day after Christmas Jared got to fly in and stay for almost a week. We enjoyed having him visit. - My mom found out she has an aortic aneurysm, it's about 3 cm and the dr says he will keep an eye on it. I pray that he does. This has stressed me so much. If anyone has any postive stories to share on these please do.(I can't handle any unhappy ending stories) It's been a really long year for my mom and she's handled things well, I say my prayers that God will hear me and lesson her pains that I know she is living with each day. At 48 years old she should not be dieing. Okay here comes the tears....so I must change the subject, moving on - Mom spent New Years at the ER with pain in her lower rib area the doctorss at this hospital really are only practicing in my opinion. The actually said we don't know what's wrong with you, but had no problem sending a bill for $3000. Luckly she had an appointment the next day with her cardiologist and He says he'll be keeping a check on her, Hopefully the pain she has been having will turn out to be something minor. She sees the cardiologist again on Feb2. - Uncle Kenney(my mom's brother,age 49) has spent most of the first part of '07 in the hospital as well. They said his main heart branch is 80% blocked and there are also many other blockages and that he needs to have bypass surgeries for these. He is scheduled for this Feb7, Prayers go out to him and his family. (This has really had my mom stressed which of course stresses me, her doctor stressed to her to not stress and raise her blood pressure and he has doubled her blood pressure med to try to keep it down) - We're Selling the House. Todd calls me and says pick Atlanta or Greenville. Decide fast because there is an opening in Greenville right now. (Then there's that rush of fast change anxiety that I have trouble dealing with) Well I know I'm not living in Atlanta (too busy for me) and he knows I'm always saying how I want to move to Greenville one day but I did not mean this month. So I put out a FSBO sign and in 2 weeks we've had 5 calls and today a family came to see it. So I don't know how long it will take for the house to sell. I have been driving my parents crazy begging them to move to Greenville because I can't go without them. I really want to go but I want them to come with me. Greenville is about 2.5 hours (one way)from there house. - Megan turned 3 on Jan 13th!!!!! I can't believe my baby is 3. She's not suppose to grow up this fast on me. I really do need more time. It seems this is only suppose to be her 1st birthday where did the other 2 years go? She has been such a easy child I have not wished for her to get older. 8.My birthday is Wed. I turn 30. This also has gone fast. Should I be happy to have lived to 30 or sad because life is half over. Turning 30, wow! the 20's are gone can't get those back, maybe that's not such a bad thing the 20's were stressful, I guess my birthday wish will be that the next 10 years will be a little easier. I do know 1 good thing. Todd ordered me the Canon Macro 100 lens that I have been drooling over for sooo long. I saw the email confirmation by accident. He said I was being noisey but it was there when I checked the email. I guess he did not know they would send an email since he called them to order it. I am sooooo excited. 9Also for my birthday Todd's mom was so thoughtful and sent us cards and some money. Me and Megan used ours at Books-A-Million I got 2 more homeschooling books and this really good cookbook called Eating For Life. The recipes have been good so far. (also in Books-a-Million Shopper beware, Tyler who is 6 got to see his first glimpse of sex, I was so embarrassed. Me and my mom for looking at the health books when Tyler hands me a book with a very graphic cover, right behind us was the sexuality section. I picked up 2 of the books and took them to customer service, she was also embarrassed and could not believe it. There where at least 100 of these all laid out for kids to see. She got the manager (who was maybe 22) and he thought it was funny, yes he laughed at me. I was shaking so bad, I took a picture of the aisle and plan to send it to the main office where I'm sure nothing will be done, although I wish they would put these where you had to show an id to view these. They were VERY graphic, the news is so full of people whining and complaining about this or that but what about our kids and the things they are exposed to?) 10.I sent my camera off for repairs this week, I've been dealing with the Err99 for over a year, So I finally sent it. I'm hoping it will be something that can fix with ease. I love my camera. I got it the month after Megan was born. It was the first Canon Digital SLR. It's been a good one and has taken about 80,000 pics so I guess it's really for some TLC. I hope I will get it back soon because I'm going to be dieing to try out my new lens. 11. 1 more thing for those that are still with me at this point in my ramblings...... Me and Tyler have started exercising. We started Friday working out with the people on fit TV. The guy we discovered was fun and we could follow along with is called Gilad. We went this weekend to Target and got some dumbbells so that we will be ready this week. Friday we used soup cans. I'm excited to have an exercising buddy. Megan tried to keep up then gave up and kept repeating"I'm too little" She's so cute:) So anyway the exercise will be great for us! We have also started changing our diet, by removing some of the unhealthy fats and cholesterol and replacing them with lower fat versions and whole wheat, fresh fruits and fresh vegetables.

The Girel 3E kiln It seems important to us today to widen our research and experiment with what are known as "the next generation of kilns". This kind of kiln is an initiative by the renowned ceramist and Master of Art Jean Girel. The Girel 3E ceramic kiln is a high-performance tool, with a minimal carbon footprint, which allows us to stop using electricity and fossil fuels. It is the ideal kiln for any designer who wants to harmonize his ethics and his practice, while giving an additional asset to his aesthetics. This kiln meets three fundamental contemporary requirements, the 3E's namely : Ergonomic: only one person can carry out the firing, without having to bend down or move to feed the fire or make adjustments. The chamber is wide but shallow, so it is easily accessible, and the loading is done standing up. Economical to build and to use: self-built in a few days, it costs 4 times less than a gas kiln of the same volume. With its capacity of 650 useful liters, it consumes between 150 and 200 kg of wood for a firing at more than 1300°. Ecological: thanks to its post-combustion system, the kiln rejects clean smokes into the atmosphere, consumes very little wood, can be dismantled and rebuilt elsewhere if necessary. The flexibility of its control allows for refined glazes as well as the wildest flame or ash effects, lightning cooling rates or maturation of a few days. Project planning and progress Between May and June 2022, Jean Girel is training a team of artists made up of 10 to 15 of the ACLB's professional ceramists along with art school students to build and use a new generation of wood-fired kiln, which he has himself designed. In October 2022 for the 'Grands Feux' event by the team of artists. Project produced in partnership with: – The Ceramics Association of La Borne – TALM-Tours College of Art and Design – TALM-Le Mans College of Art and Design This kiln has been built with funding from the 'Mobilisation for Climate and Ecological Transition' scheme of the Centre-Val de Loire Region.

Leader of South Gloucestershire Council Cllr Toby Savage visited Longwell Green Primary School on Thursday 18 November to meet with pupils during Anti-bullying Week (15-19 November). Cllr Savage was met by head teacher Darren Brown and spoke with pupils about the work they have been doing to mark the awareness week, which this year has the theme 'One Kind Word'. Longwell Green pupils took part in a range of Anti-bullying activities throughout the week. Children in reception made kindness promises to show what they were going to do to be kind to everybody in the class. Year 1 pupils created their own anti-bullying superhero for their classroom display and were also encouraged to say 'One Kind Word' every afternoon when they returned to class following playtime. Year 2 pupils took part in activities around stopping bullying and spreading kindness, including 'growing kindness' where whenever the children see or do something kind, they write it on a petal and add it to their own individual flowers. Other classes watched a video called 'Kindness Boomerang' which outlines the domino effect that is caused when we show kindness to others. Children also created a miniature graffiti wall with kind words and decorated kindness paperchains throughout the week, writing something kind they witnessed being said or done on the individual paperchain links, forming a kindness chain reaction. Cllr Savage, who represents the Longwell Green ward, said: "It was a pleasure to visit Longwell Green Primary School and hear from some of the children what they have been doing to mark anti-bullying week. It's important that everyone takes bullying seriously because of the long-term impact it can have on friendships and self-esteem as well as on emotional and mental health and wellbeing. "It's great to see that as well as ensuring children know what to do if they are being bullied, that a lot of the activities were based around kindness and positivity. The Covid pandemic has really underlined how small acts of kindness and consideration can help break down barriers and brighten the lives of those around us." Headteacher Darren Brown said: "We would all like the world to be a constantly great place, but in reality, sometimes it can be tough. We aim to ensure children have the resilience and knowledge to be successful now and in their futures. Anti-bullying week is one of the ways we ensure that our children know the signs of bullying and what to do if they ever have a time when they feel under threat/attack/or feel they are being bullied. 'One Kind Word' fits perfectly with our aims at Longwell Green to empower children to know they have the ability to change the world around them, sometimes in a grand way, or sometimes with one small word."

Phrapradaeng was my humble and beautiful home for a year and a half. A 20 minute taxi ride from Bangkok and nestled in between two nearly-touching bends of the Chao Praya river, Phrapradaeng is an unexpected, little-known gem. Its banks of the river are flooded with people every November for Loy Krathong, the lantern festival, and its streets draw the second largest crowd in the country for Thailand's annual country-wide water fight to ring in the New Year. Kee Ann, a kind and proud chef, pictured here, fed us every lunch and dinner (a dollar a meal) for 16 months. Her house and family-run store/restaurant underneath our apartment quickly became our second home. Kee Ann's English was very poor, so we found ourselves fully immersed in Thai language and culture almost immediately. Havana is a hodgepodge of race, culture, food, and architecture. Of the many places I've been, this Caribbean island struck me as the most ethnically diverse. Spanish and French-inspired squares contrasted by Afro-Cuban dances and rituals highlight the country's various influences from nearly every continent. Despite its complex history clouded by dictatorships, corruption and unrest, the Cuban spirit persists. Vibrantly colored vintage cars and colonial buildings transport visitors back to the 1950's. Music can be heard on every street corner and spontaneous dance-offs are a common occurrence. We witnessed an African rumba in the famously crowded alley of Callejon de Hamel and attended a dinner concert where old members of the Buena Vista Social Club boogied the night away. Visiting temples in Thailand constructed a clearer sense of what the word "spirituality" means to me. The magic that occurs when the sun catches the tiles is indescribable; the mystery that presents itself when attempting to fathom the construction of these places of worship is ineffable. Wat Pha Sorn Kaew, a mosaic temple pictured several times here, was quite literally breathtaking. The relatively new temple (opened in 2004) is located in a province called Petchabun that does not exist in the guidebook. To say it is off the beaten path is an understatement - a pilgrimage site would be more accurate. We spent five hours exploring this wonder and even got trapped at the top while waiting for a monstrous storm to pass. When the skies cleared, animals flocked to the temple in masses. Peacocks appeared seemingly out of nowhere and begun calling to each other in their high-pitched, sing-song way. It was a fairytale of majestic proportions and a day I will never forget. Other temples pictured here include Ayutthaya, Sukhothai, Wat Arun and and Burmese-style temples close to the Myanmar border. The intense juxtaposition between the old and the new, the rich and the poor, the peacefulness and the chaos is what struck me most about this country. Eight days in Myanmar truly opened my eyes to the rampant strife in parts of the world and some of the wildly disparate ways human beings go about their daily lives on Earth. After a quick visit to Yangon, the former capital of Burma, we headed to the countryside to motorbike through the ancient ruins of Bagan as far as the eye could see. Inle lake, however, was a true depiction of one of the most utterly raw cultures in existence. Starting at sunrise, we took a long-boat tour of the lake and stopped at a silver smith's workshop, visited a long neck tribe, explored a floating market, cruised through a local fishing village, went to a cigar making shop, ate a local Burmese style meal, stopped at an ancient pagoda, boated through a floating garden and toured a floating monastery. India is indescribable. Its crowds, colors, smells, chants and prayers attack the senses in the most insatiable way. We were awed by caves from 5th century B.C., floated down the holy Ganges river, witnessed bodies being cremated and danced amongst bursts of bright colors during the Holi Festival. Three short weeks in India were simultaneously peaceful and exhilarating. It felt as though we had spent a lifetime there, and yet I still craved more time. Overall the trip was completely life changing. These few photos could never hope to portray an entire culture or country, but attempt to present a small glimpse into India through the eyes of a foreigner. Expectations can be detrimental. When we set off on our indefinite journey across America, some expectations were fully formed, while others weren't at all. Texas was a place for which my expectations were embarrassingly low, and as it usually tends to go when this is the case, I was blown away (almost literally). Most of these photos were taken in or around Marfa, TX, an artsy ghost-town just north of Big Bend. After we left Austin, we had no set plans for months to come. We headed for Marfa, expecting to find things. We found nothing. The entire city was dead. We noted this absence of life just after discovering giant Goathead burrs embedded in all four deflated bike tires, and just before a giant sandstorm came rolling in. As sand stung our faces and we pushed our bikes miles back to camp, I had a very deep and permanent realization that for the next two months, we'd be going wherever the wind wanted to take us. Photos posted here were taken in Austin, Marfa, Big Bend National Park, Terlingua, Route 90 and Mt. Guadalupe National Park. Portugal is a photographer's dream. Lisbon is one of the most unique, enticing, beautiful and culturally rich cities I've ever encountered. The colors and patterns etched into the walls paint a picture of a deep and twisted history wrought with invasions and wars, and yet a great sense of patriotism prevails. The crystal-clear water peeking out between each tiny, winding alleyway, trinkets adorning every wall and street art marked with irony and zeitgeist are all an added bonus. I'll never forget this little shack of joy known as the "Happy Kids Center," which has brought great happiness and opportunity to so many young lives devastated by the impact the 2015 earthquake had on their community. I spent two weeks volunteering at the center, located in Bhaktapur, an old capital of Nepal. The town is off the beaten tourist path and paints a beautiful portrait of the resilient and passionate people of Nepal. I met friends here and made memories I know will last a lifetime. Aside from volunteering at the center, we visited a Tibetan shaman, trekked to a nearby temple, witnessed a local wedding, and attended a "chicken party" where we helped a local farmer pluck, skin, clean and prepare a chicken dinner. My friend Liza is the adventurous soul who encouraged me to apply to teach in Thailand with her. She is also the genius who suggested I get an ENO hammock before we left. Purchasing that pink and purple double-nester was the best damn decision I ever made. Our ENOs quite literally became our homes. After our first night's sleep in our hammocks on Koh Samet, "ENO" became a verb. Thus began our quest to ENO far and wide. Over the next few months, we ENO-ed in parks (local and national), sunflower fields, on many a beach, jungle, and even, stupidly, on dimly lit riverside street corners. We learned a lot in our early ENO days, the main lesson being to trust our instinct. If a gut feeling told us not to ENO somewhere, we didn't. In fact, the biggest source of danger we ever came close to encountering was animals: monkeys, killer ants, mosquitos, baby sharks and insects I previously never knew existed. We built up our ENO skills for months in preparation for an ENO trip of a lifetime. We spent the first two weeks of summer vacation in utter bliss, island-hopping, sleeping in our hammocks, bathing in the ocean and living mostly off rations of nuts and berries we had carried with us. Thailand is an especially unique place. From the sparkling waters of its pristine beaches and the tropical rainforests of its national parks to the crowded hustle bustle of Bangkok, this country has it all. Above all, however, Karma is palpably real and exists in its purest form in Thailand, with 95% of its population Buddhist. People are genuinely kindhearted and trustworthy to the point where I often felt safer in the most foreign, remote towns of Thailand than I sometimes do in my own hometown. New Orleans was the second stop on our two-month road trip throughout the United States. This southern city is the embodiment of jazz, culture and heritage. Live music can be heard on each street corner, with fresh seafood smells wafting in from across the bay and colorful, political mural art lining the alleyways. We biked for miles during the day and enjoyed fun, funk-infused nights on Bourbon and Frenchmen street by night. As luck would have it, we also found ourselves in town for the second weekend of Jazz Fest and were fortunate enough to attend the festival for a day. We caught incredible sets by Lake Street Dive, The Revivalists, Earth Wind and Fire, Dave Matthews and Jimmy Buffett. After finishing up three semesters of teaching, Laos was the first stop on our three month journey through Asia. We spent two days on a slow boat chugging down the Mekong river into Laos from Northern Thailand. Having yet to be overrun by tourists, the rugged Laotian landscape juts out behind old French buildings and local fishing boats and the small hillside towns illustrate the simple way of living. The rivers and mountains running through Laos invite and incite the adventurer within. We kayaked, motorbiked, zip-lined and tubed our way from Northern Laos down to Vientienne. Getting from A to B provided a few comical challenges but we adapted to changes in plans by exploring local markets lining every street and basking in vibrant sunsets that dominated every evening. Angkor Wat is without a doubt one of the most photographable destinations on this planet. I took over 2,000 pictures in under 3 days of exploring the UNESCO world heritage site. At least 8 hours a day were spent investigating 12th century ruins of the fallen Khmer empire in the largest religious complex in the world. We watched multiple sunrises, climbed thousands of stairs, snuck our bikes into the park before it was open, tuk-tuked through a marathon, enjoyed local Cambodian cuisine and engaged with the locals. "...the past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation, of fulfillment in whatever form. Both are illusions." - Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now This book helped ensure continuous growth and change from within during my five month trip. You know that speechless feeling that arises when witnessing a remarkable sunset? Or entering a creative zone? Or hiking through the wilderness listening to the silence of birds chirping and leaves rustling? Tolle reminds us these are moments we have come to accept as far and few between in our modern, fast-paced lifestyles. In reality, we should be experiencing moments like this, existing in a state of "no-mind," every day. In fact, almost all the time. This is what our five day trek through the Himalayas helped me to discover. Never before had I been so appreciative of nature or curious about cultures that sustain themselves solely off their land. Never before had I found my thoughts, worries or anxieties so scarce. The simple act of continually placing one foot in front of the other led me to appreciate, understand and live in the "now" with each step. I knew this country was unlike any other when the first monstrous gust of wind hit me as soon as I stepped off the plane. This tiny Buddhist kingdom nestled within the Himalayas measures its wealth in happiness rather than GDP. We spent 5 days trekking from Paro to Thimphu and learned about Bhutanese culture each night from our wise young guide illuminated by the light of the camp's bonfire. Every year the country celebrates the King's birthday by planting thousands of trees and Bhutan holds the world record for the most trees planted in one hour - 4,900. A whopping 72% of its land mass remains forested. Houses are built from mud and the entire village gathers together while building to sing, dance and pound the bricks. School is free, traffic lights don't exist, GMOs are illegal and "modernization" is heavily resisted. The West could learn a lot from this spiritually endowed little country. Whether my love for the sea stems from growing up on an island or visiting the Outer Banks every summer of my life, it was certainly solidified when I arrived at the University of Miami. After being certified in the Floridian keys, I truly came to love the sport in Thailand. The silence that exists underwater in unlike any on land; the inability to speak leaves you alone with your own thoughts. Koh Tao, specifically, provides awesome reefs and cheap day trips. I then took my certification one step further in Indonesia where I became deep-water certified. When I think of New Mexico and Arizona, I think of emptiness; vastness. There are vantage points drifting as far as the eye can see before the land splits and massive, mile-deep canyons paint the horizon. Cartoon-like, green cacti are plentiful with the occasional sprinkling brightly hued desert flowers. By this point on the road trip, we were letting the open road determine our fate each morning and night. Upon arriving at Sedona (some of the absolute reddest rocks on the planet), we were told that giant "vortexes," or even energy tunnels if you may, existed within and around these famous rock formations and not to be surprised if we witnessed people praying or stopping, dropping and doing yoga. Sure enough, we felt the energy in certain spots and found ourselves experiencing quite a few spiritual moments on these rocks, much yoga included. Vortex (n.) - a mass of whirling fluid or air, especially a whirlpool or whirlwind. Wonderfruit: A Celebration of the Arts is an extraordinary melting pot of infinitely talented artists, artisans, crafters, chefs, dancers, musicians and performance artists from all corners of the globe. We were lucky enough to experience Wonderfruit in all its glory its first two years open. We frolicked in tapioca fields, participated in a mandala carving workshop, practiced yoga, danced with members of an Indian folk band, witnessed drum circles, lounged on waterbeds inside an inflatable bubble-maze, enjoyed breakfast tacos in the morning and fell asleep in our hammocks every night to the sounds of birds chirping and music still blasting. My students were the sole element that made my time in Thailand fully complete. I've never had a job prior to this that excited and inspired me so when I awoke each morning. If I was homesick, actually sick, or simply in a bad mood, I could always count on my students to cheer me up. Every time I walked into the classroom, someone screamed, "PLEASE STAND UP!" Followed by, "GOOOOD MORNING, TEACHA!" Each day was sobering and refreshing, standing up in front of so many young humans who were so genuinely and collectively happy to be right where they were at any given moment. And better yet, I was in charge of what and how they would learn that day?! Bring it on. I was lucky enough to teach the same group of about 110 students for my entire 3 semester stint at Amnuayvidhya School. I moved with them from second to third grade and thoroughly enjoyed watching them blossom socially, mentally, physically and educationally. Despite having grown up in Hong Kong and traveled to a few of the farthest corners of the world, Richmond, Virginia will always be home. Richmond has come a long way in the past 10 years and has a lot to offer. I love the old town houses of the fan, the constant buzz of VCU, the tranquility of the James River and the consistently expanding restaurant, bar and music scene. The city is the former capital of the confederacy and the Robert E. Lee monument directly behind my house is a constant reminder of the history and significance this state capital holds. "They tried to bury us but they didn't know we were seeds." Coming away from this monumental day in history, I still had qualms over whether or not to write an opinionated political post. But in hindsight, it is more clear than ever why this fight for social justice can and should appeal to everyone. Regardless of race, class, gender or sexuality, we should all believe in equality. Never before have I been a part of such a peaceful crowd of such high numbers all rallying together for social justice (a whopping 600,000 people marched on Washington alone). It wasn't until after the march that I was acutely aware of why I marched. I marched for human rights. I marched because I believe in a future for our planet and because I want to raise children on this Earth. I marched because I believe in unity through diversity. Love, warmth and acceptance were palpable in the air on this historic day.

I have several problems with the concept of a soul (or spirit, or whatever you may choose to call it). Aside from the argument for lack of evidence, there are issues facing a person who claims that humans have souls that are created by God and that outlive the body on a separate, spiritual plane of existence. I'll outline these issues as follows: This first question stems from the idea that God creates human souls (I'm not sure when) and implants them or attaches them to the fertilized egg at conception so that the bundle of cells becomes a viable human. Never mind that 25% of these "viable humans" will be naturally aborted or miscarried without intervention from humans. What I don't get is this: God's ultimate plan for everybody is that their souls reside in Heaven with Him eternally and that we are all happy, healthy, and free of sin. So…why do I need a body? If my soul would be happy in Heaven then why can we not forego all of the formality, suffering, and nonsense and just get right to the end goal? If God cares nothing at all for my body and only wants my soul, then He should have just created my soul in Heaven directly. It's reasonable, it's simple, it's loving, and it accomplishes the goal with zero room for error. Since we're assuming that God creates souls, but don't know when He does it, we might assume that He created my soul a long time ago and was waiting for my parents to find each other and conceive the body into which He would ultimately place my soul. This begs the question(s): how long was my soul around before it was joined to my body, and where was it? If my soul was in heaven with God waiting to be transplanted, then I find it particularly disturbing and despicable that He wouldn't have just left me there. After all, Heaven is where He wants me to end up, isn't it? If my soul was not in Heaven with God, then where was it? What other existential plane is there on which my soul may have sat in wait for a body? The flip side to this question relies on the idea that souls don't exist prior to being joined with a body and that God creates them at the point of conception (kind of a chicken-and-egg argument, in my opinion). This brings us to my next question. If, statistically, 25% of all pregnancies end in natural abortion or miscarriage then we have to question when, exactly, God is creating these souls. Is there a period of time during which the bundle of cells is under observation and in a probationary period before God deems them worthy of being joined to a soul? If not, and God joins the soul immediately at the time of conception, then why does He deem some souls lucky enough not to have to undergo the suffering of mortality and get a "Go Straight to heaven" card? Is He showing favoritism, or is He just shooting dice with these souls and they happen to hit the jackpot? If these souls were destined to end up in Heaven without having to struggle through life, then why did He bother with their conception (obviously wasted energy and resources for nothing) and bonding of their souls at all? He would have already known where they were going, because they never got to exercise their free will (a central tenet of religions which I find incredibly contradictory). God presumably knew prior to creating the first human soul that He would have to mourn their poor decisions, deal with sin, and eventually sacrifice His son for their forgiveness. The question then arises: why did God – angry at Adam and Eve for sinning – command them to go out and make more sinners?! To whom does that make any sense at all? Not to me. So perhaps my biggest question is why God is even creating souls at all. If I were in charge, I would have just let the two sinners die, send their souls wherever they needed to go, and call it good enough – an experiment that turned out poorly and from which I can learn a valuable lesson. If we have non-corporeal souls that outlive us, then whatever defines who we are should be contained in that soul. That is to say, our personality, our compassion, our jealousy and anger and greed should not simply be a product of chemical reactions in our physical brains, but should transcend our bodies on the spiritual plane. If we have these souls, then they would not be affected by drugs, social pressures, local culture, or trauma. Regardless of what was happening to our bodies, we should always be exactly what our soul defines us to be. We know this isn't the case. Brain trauma sometimes causes an irreversible shift in a person's personality to the point where – behaviorally – they would be unrecognizable even to their own family. Drugs cause personality shifts and behavioral changes where people will do things and say things they would otherwise never do or say. It can be argued that moving to a different geographical location or immersing oneself in a different culture causes fundamental shifts in behavior and personality as well. We tend to change ourselves to suit our surroundings if we are unable to change our surroundings to suit ourselves. How could this happen if we have an immortal soul? I don't think it could, and I have yet to come across an argument convincing me that this question isn't valid. Even if my soul doesn't define my personality, then it is said that it is what gives me life. Religious people often claim that our brains are so complex and amazing, it couldn't possibly be reduced simply to electrical impulses and chemical reactions – an argument from incredulity. But why, if I have an immortal soul that gives me life, do I need a brain? Why doesn't my soul do that work? Why isn't my soul more actively and apparently involved in my living process? This may be the weakest of my problems with the soul concept, but it's still a problem. It is commonly accepted and stated as fact in religious circles that only humans bear a soul. Animals don't have souls and they don't go to Heaven or Hell. It seems odd then that animals have identical living processes to humans – that is, brains, hearts, digestive systems, etc. Why do we look the same as animals on the inside if we're so much different? Why are we made up of exactly the same material? This makes absolutely no sense. If humans have souls, then animals must also have souls because we can find no fundamental difference between animals and humans (who, as we all know, are still animals). I find it frustrating to think that any religious person could hold to this idea and even go so far as to construct some type of elaborate defense of this position that defies all logic and reason. Given that these questions are never answered, I have to operate under the assumption that I have no immortal soul. As such, I am not in any terrible danger of ending up in Hell and I have no reason to make myself subservient to an oppressive deity on the off-chance I might make it to Heaven. Instead, I'll act as though this life is the only one I get; that I should be kind to my fellow humans in the hopes that it will propagate to all and we'll live in peace; that my happiness here on Earth is my ultimate goal, so long as I don't harm others in my attempts to attain it; that I should not waste a single moment of my life bowing and scraping to an invisible person who doesn't care about my mortal existence anyway. I'll just be the best human I can be. Is that so bad?

Although the plans vary somewhat by country, the basic premise is the same. Users pay an extra couple of dollars a month for each additional device that shares data - similar to the way families and businesses here have long been able to share minutes between multiple phones.The report notes that executives from AT&T and Verizon in the United States have said that they are actively working on shared data plans, with AT&T saying that such offerings are coming "soon" while declining to specify a launch timeframe. "We believe that's really a way for the future," said Olaf Swantee, senior executive vice president for France Telecom's Orange unit. Apple worked closely with wireless carriers ahead of the iPad's debut in order to be able to provide customers with simple and flexible data access for owners of 3G-capable models. While the initial unlimited data package offered by AT&T for the iPad was quickly replaced by tiered plans, users continue to be able to subscribe to and cancel data services as needed without the need for activation fees or long-term commitments. But shared data plans could offer additional flexibility to provide data service for multiple devices and relatively low incremental costs, provided that the additional device fees imposed by the carriers are not excessive. AT&T has already had to respond to the idea of shared data with its tethering plans that allow users to create their own Wi-Fi hotspots connected to the cellular network via their phones. The carrier had initially offered tethering support for an additional $20 per month on top of the standard data fee, despite not offering any additional data allotment. The surcharge drew numerous complaints from users, and the carrier eventually modified its offerings to include an additional 2 GB of data for customers on its tethering plan.

What is time? Can you describe time without invoking the notion of time itself? Physicists have long been fascinated by time, and though Einstein proved that time is an intrinsic part of our universe, inescapable and inseparable from space, its properties and behavior still fascinate. The more we learn, the more baffling, counterintuitive, and mysterious it becomes, and it continues to offer so many still unsolved puzzles. As Brian Greene said, How could this be? How could we be so wrong about something so familiar? It is this intimate familiarity that we have with time that can make it so hazardous. By its very definition time is always with us and we instinctively feel its passing. But with everything common in our lives like sunshine, birdsong, and even our own breathing, it fades into the background and too often we go unaware of it. Dan Barker observed that what is considered valuable is that which is uncommon. Jewels, birthdays, and our friends are important to us because there are precious few. However even if we rationally know that our time on this planet is also finite, because time is so familiar, we too often let it slip away without appreciating what we are losing. Nearly ten years ago, we were fortunate enough to be invited to our good friend's wedding. We met Carl long ago during our time studying abroad in Stuttgart. At the wedding we marveled at the fact that it had been so long since we had last seen each other and yet everything was still so familiar. Last weekend, nearly ten years after the wedding, we enjoyed a lunch together with a stunning view of the old town of Stockholm and that familiarity and connection hadn't diminished. Carl mentioned how that year we spent in Stuttgart was so life-changing for him and all the people he knew from that time shared the same feeling. Amidst that reminiscing it struck me that although study abroad is much further behind us than Carl's wedding, I somehow feel that gulf of years between today and the wedding more than the total elapsed time since our days in Stuttgart. Although we had a wonderful lunch and as always engaged in conversation that was so engrossing that we left in such good spirits, I couldn't help but ask myself how I had let nearly a decade pass since the last time we met up. Everyone knows the old cliché that time flies when having fun. I rather have a different view. Time is dangerous because we too often do not realize that it is rushing by when we are busy with things unimportant. That year we spent together in Stuttgart was one of the greatest times of my life, and I was very much aware of it. Did it fly by? Yes, but it was this awareness that has kept its memory with me and makes it seem closer than the ten years that passed between Carl's wedding and our delightful lunch. Of course Elise and I have had so many amazing experiences in those ten years, but it is the intervening mundanities of the everyday that makes time fly when you are simply living life. Time flies when you are not paying attention. Einstein proved that time and space are relative to each other; that time slows down the faster you move, relative to an observer. Great experiences in life do seem to make time pass faster, but the memories of those experiences seem to last the longest. Call it Bones' Theory of Relative Nostalgia: the power and vivacity of great memories is directly proportional to the amount of time since the experience. The truth is, regardless of our relative rate of speed or how good our experiences, our time is not only limited but also of unknown duration. This is what gives its value. As Emily Dickinson said, That it will never come again Is what makes life so sweet. This is my long-winded way of saying that we should get together again, Carl.

Most vocational jobs require basic office computing, calculating, typing, spelling, writing and communicating skills; computer programmer jobs obviously require greater than just the rudiments. Pharmacy technicians and pharmacists, primarily in large retail or hospital pharmacies, do not have treating the copay. The tech will enter orders, check orders, process requests for insurance and patient information among other things.

Through an awesome couple at church – we got to hear about the MABL (Malaysian Association of Belgium & Luxembourg) and the fact that they were hosting a Chinese New Year Luncheon, celebrating the Year of the Horse 2014. For a mere 23€ for non-members (and only 13€ for members) – we got to enjoy 13 courses at the City Palace Restaurant in Antwerp! Lets just say that the food just kept arriving and eventually our poor little table was groaning under the weight of all those plates! We started off by mixing together (with our chopsticks) a plate with different ingredients – and then lifting your chopsticks (with said mixed items) as high as possible – for prosperity, health & wealth for the coming year… The higher you lifted your chopsticks… the better your chances were… (and then of course – we all got stuck in … and ate every last morsel… as leaving anything behind would not bode well!) => salmon, carrots, green shoots, etc… Nom Nom… Then arrived the soup… a delightful bowl of duck soup… which I could have eaten ALL day… but because I knew that there were still 11 more plates to come… I held back on getting a second bowl! Then a platter of deep-fried & filled wonton wrappers and springrolls arrived followed by assorted dim sum then roasted duck & roasted crispy pork belly (which was definitely a winner at the table) there was lamb hotpot, ribs in king sauce, sweet & sour, seafood & meat tofu hotpot, choy saw vegetables (with ancient egg…. a whole other story)… fried rice, noodles…Broccoli & prawns I had died and gone to food heaven!!! and then… DESSERT!! The round balls covered in sesame seeds revealed a sticky bean surprised in the middle… while I managed to negotiate a second piece of jelly in exchange for the bean ball … yes, the jelly was that good (I am a simple girl at heart… sometimes) If you are interested in signing up to the MABL association – drop an email to [email protected] – as they have loads of interesting activities to look forward to in the year ahead!
