Cable rows require the use of a V-bar, and they are performed from a seated position on a low pulley machine. As you pull the bar toward your gut, you bend your elbow and shoulder joints. This in turn causes you to work multiple muscles at the same time. Compound exercises such as this lead to fast gains in size and strength.
The erector spinae is a long strip of muscles that spans the length of the vertebral column and ends in the lower back. You activate this muscle group during back extension. This takes place when you bend at the waist and move your torso backward. During a cable row, you extend your back and hold it in this position throughout the exercise. This causes you to continually contract your erector spinae to maintain spinal stability.
The rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis and obliques all make up the abdominal wall. The rectus abdominis is the large muscle in the middle of the stomach. The transverse abdominis is deep inside the stomach and the obliques are on the sides of the ribs. You contract all of these muscles throughout a cable row to produce force and further keep your torso in good alignment. | 2019-04-25T08:41:17 | https://www.livestrong.com/article/537832-what-muscle-group-do-cable-rows-work/ |

Following an accident where my iriver was thrown against a wall (less said the better), my iriver has had problem playing newly copied files, where the files either partially copy (ie the songs will only play between 50%-75% of their duration or they will not play at all (The iriver tries hard to play the files but gives up). To guage the problem if I copy a 10 song album, 3 songs will play perfectly, 4 songs will play partially and 3 not at all.
The problem is inconsistent, as I have made 3 attempts to copy the files to my iriver and different songs will affect at each attempted copy.
All existing data on the iriver play perfectly, although since the incident, it is noticable that hard drive is more noisy and takes considerably longer to load.
Is there any way of soilving this problem, or is my hard drive dying?
Unfortunately this has not helped, everytime I reload the files, the same problem reoccurs.
The time the files take to copy also take long than pre accident. Unfortunately this has not helped, everytime I reload the files, the same problem reoccurs.
The time the files take to copy also take long than pre accident.
Backup the h340 to your pc, format the h340 hdd and reload it, refresh database.
1 - download a converter that converts your music to the mp3 format.
2 - convert your music to the mp3 format.
3 - copy the songs that you had converted to your player.
if this works please rate like very helpful and vote me, thanks.
Best way to use the H10 20gb is by creating a directory on your hard drive with your desired mp3 format files. Use ripping and encoding software with your existing audio cds.
Connect the h10 to the PC via the UMS trick (see this website).
Using a file directory on your pc, drag and drop the mp3 files from your pc to the MUSIC file folder on the h10. Install and run the EASY10 playlist creator software on your pc to organize the new files on your iRiver player. Disconnect the USB connection and enjoy!
What is IRM (iRiver Rights Management)?
Use the proprietary software found on the IRiver website to transfer songs. If they still won't play, run the songs through Media Monkey or another Mp3 Converter to make them playable.
How to add video's to iriver e10?
my iriver t20 shows on display "file check error" and all my folder are disappeared.please help me to solve the problem. thanks for your assistant.
Won't paly WMA files that I bought online!
I remember reading somewhere that if you upgrade your firmware of your H340 from US to international to get video you lose the ability to play DRM music. I from this I would that the international version can't play the copy protected files. I am not sure of the legalities in your location, but you may be able to work around the copy protection. Maybe a google search would give you some hints.
when i turn on my iriver h340 it goes into 'usb bootloader mode' and nothing happens and the controls dont work and... ... then when i reset it and turn it on again it goes into the iriver software and immediately the usb 'connected' symbol appears and nothing happens and the controls dont work. how do i fix this?
iriver h340 new hard drive will not boot up after the old drive failed, i put in a toshiba mk8007gah 80gb, which i believe is compatible. i've managed to format (FAT32)/check/transfer files to hdd using laptop via usb, all seems well. BUT drive will not ever boot up in player, either using iriver firmware v.1.29 (CHECK HDD CONNECTION error), or Rockbox software which previously worked (various ATA errors). what am i doing wrong/not doing. have tried reinstalling iriver firmware - not sure if successful... apologies i'm not v.technical. many thanks.

Hill doesn’t play fantasy football, but he said he might have to “check it out and see what the hype’s about’’ this season, because “it’s the main topic (of conversation) every time I walk in somewhere anyway.’’ People want to know if he can reproduce his emergence over the second half of his rookie season, when his 929 yards gained in Weeks 9-17 104 yards more than the league’s next most productive rusher, Seattle’s Marshawn Lynch with 824?
Alas, Hill’s former collegiate teammate, Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr., was not the only ex-LSU star to burst onto the NFL scene in the latter stages of 2014. Beckham’s breath-taking rookie season was certainly more spectacular, but the Bengals rode on Hill’s broad back to a fourth consecutive playoff trip last year, with Cincinnati’s ground game ranking second in the league over the season’s final nine weeks, trailing only Super Bowl-bound Seattle during that span.
Once Hill started running downhill, taking over the lead back role in place of the injured Giovanni Bernard in Week 9, the Bengals took off, winning six of their final nine games, with Hill cranking out five different 100-yard rushing games, with four efforts of at least 147 yards. His total of 1,124 yards ranked eighth overall in the NFL, and his 5.1-yard average was fifth-best in the league. Hill was a second-round pick in 2014, but wound up exhibiting clear-cut No. 1 back production and potential.
What last year did was convince the Bengals they have a potent 1-2 backfield punch in Hill and Bernard, but the 6-1, 235-pound Hill is again expected to carry the load for a veteran Cincinnati team that is built to win now, and who had as status quo of an offseason as any club in the NFL.
Hill admits biding his time in a backup role was challenging for him in the season’s first seven games -- he averaged just 28 yards rushing per game in that span -- but his 103.2-yard average from November on proved he was ready for the step up to NFL-level competition.
The NFL, of course, has seen reams of break-out rookie rushers fail to live up to those first-year standards in subsequent seasons, and if Hill’s stout 5.1 average rush drops this year, don’t be too surprised. Rookie backs of recent vintage like Adrian Peterson, Maurice Jones-Drew, DeMarco Murray, Ben Tate, Ryan Grant and LeGarrette Blount have all seen their 5.0-plus averages drop in year two, sometimes significantly. Hill will be running this season with a much larger target on his back, even if he does still feel a little bit off the radar in small-market Cincinnati.
Kind of like how Beckham Jr. did over the latter two-thirds last season in New York, and interestingly enough, the week ahead will provide the perfect opportunity to see the two second-year playmakers side by side. The Giants visit Bengals camp for joint workouts on Tuesday and Wednesday, in advance of the New York-Cincinnati preseason opener on Friday. That tandem posted almost 2,700 yards of rookie-season production -- Beckham Jr. had 1,340 yards of receiving and rushing, with Hill a step behind at 1,339 -- and that’s going to keep the spotlight on them in 2015.
Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis lauds the job Hill has done at maintaining his focus as year two arrives, saying he has no concerns that early success will damage or delay Hill’s development in the league.
Lewis said Hill has worked to change his body this offseason, learning how to eat better, and take care of himself in preparation for the long season ahead. Hill’s model was Pittsburgh third-year running back Le’Veon Bell, who followed up his strong debut season of 2013 (1,259 total yards) with a monstrously better showing in 2014 (2,215), becoming one of the league’s premier backs and the gold standard for production in the AFC North.
The Bengals, after four consecutive one-and-done playoff trips the past four seasons, are clearly in no-excuses, win-now mode, with a roster chock-full of potential free agents in 2016. Many have labeled this Lewis’s most talented team yet in his long Cincinnati tenure, and the urgency to finally make a deep playoff run has never been higher. Could it be that Hill’s second season as the main cog in the Bengals running game winds up being the key to how far Cincinnati can go, rather than the over-analyzed and oft-dissected game of fifth-year quarterback Andy Dalton? Can the Bengals ride their defense and running game to playoff success? Hill will be the focus if Cincinnati opts for that ground-first approach.
In the big-picture sense, the job remains very much undone for these Bengals. But if Hill can pick up where he left off in 2014, keeping fantasy owners happy in the process, there’s always the hope that the story is about to change in Cincinnati. | 2019-04-21T16:42:26 | https://www.si.com/nfl/2015/08/09/bengals-rb-hill-looks-follow-his-first-year-cincinnati |

Sigh. It’s that time of the year once again, slicing through my seasonal cheer in this post-Trump America. The special day that warrants your attention right now? It’s known as Giving Tuesday.
The response has been overwhelming and, as a result, it’s been overwhelming me. Here is a sampling of emails (see attached pdf doc) that have landed in my inbox as of 10:00 am this morning. And, this is what my inbox looks like. I’m ankle-deep in the mayhem, and who knows how far I’ll have sunk by the end of the day. If sifting through these emails wasn’t part of my job, I would have merely selected all and hit the delete button. How will yours stand out?
But I digress. Back to the mayhem. I first wrote about Giving Tuesday back in 2013, one year after its initial launch. It’s three years later, and my stance has yet to be swayed. I am not saying #GivingTuesday is a negative mosquito that should buzz off and away for all time. Its results have been successful and there’s no reason to think that #GivingTuesday won’t continue its ace track record of fantastic fundraising. But here’s what I am saying: If your nonprofit participates in #GivingTuesday, I implore you, don’t view it as a stand-alone strategy, because I’ve encountered plenty of organizations who put way, way too much stock in it.
So how does one do #GivingTuesday right? By incorporating it into your overall big picture and using it as a tool to amplify your communications plan. Take a look at Heifer’s email in the pack for a prime example of using #GivingTuesday as a valuable tool, rather than becoming a #GivingTuesday fool. Ain’t nobody got time for the latter, and it’s often what happens when you’re a little fish in a massive pond.
Before even an inkling of #GivingTuesday crosses your mind, make sure everything is spotless and seamless as far as your donors are concerned. This means ensuring that your organization has the back-end systems in place to promptly acknowledge and thank new donors. Additionally, #GivingTuesday presents a wonderful opportunity to thank your current supporters. See what Mr. Holland’s Opus did here?here? In a word: brilliant!
Lastly, view #GivingTuesday through a donor-focused lens. Immerse yourself in the donor’s perspective, and never quit speaking to your people directly. Like the individuals they are. Very often, we think of terms of virality, where the results are overwhelmingly massive and collective. The reality is, it all comes back to the individual donor and that relationship, from establishing, to building and maintaining. If you can’t put a donor-focused spin on it, it’s probably not worth doing.
Or maybe the way to go is with a “Whoops We Forgot Wednesday” email, as seen here from CeaseFire PA.

Tuttle SVC: Khan is an expert BECAUSE he knows nothing about learning theory.
Khan is an expert BECAUSE he knows nothing about learning theory.
The idea of TED is that you’re smart enough to get it in 10 minutes or less, and the story that TED-ites love (b/c it supports that narrative) is the story of someone outside the “industry” or research area coming in from another area and declaring at a glance what everyone has missed.
So we get economists talking about global warming, game designers talking about learning, techies talking about political gridlock, and choreographers talking about physics. It’s so simple, they tell us.
Ah, say the TED-sters — us outsiders to the system, we can all see what the insiders can’t! Salman Khan is an expert because he knows nothing about learning theory. Lomborg is worth listening to because he doesn’t know about climate science. And I’m probably an expert too! | 2019-04-19T11:15:32 | http://www.tuttlesvc.org/2012/10/khan-is-expert-because-he-knows-nothing.html |
Viktor drove from Pisky to Kyiv yesterday. It began to snow. Lines of cars started forming. With more snow, cars started colliding with each other – 500 collisions were counted in Kyiv alone. The snowplows could not work, as the streets were full of cars. Summer tyres did not help in the first snow. There were queues to places where tyres were changed, but the news said that the next free times would be on Tuesday.
On the way home, Viktor saw how buses left their passengers to walk the rest of the way. Cars collided, because there was no way of steering them.
Thank God, our minibus has winter tyres, and the journey went safely. | 2019-04-20T09:01:52 | https://childrensembassy.com/news/the-first-snow/ |
Just registered my Acronis Backup Subscription licenses and want to assign them to my VMware hosts.
I have 3 hosts in a Cluster, but only one license has been assigned.
Result will be one assigned license and two messages "Resource is already assigned".
In license overview only one assigned license is shown.
Assigning license for a standalone VMware host works.
Other way round, if I assign a license to one host (unit of 3-host-Cluster) all three hosts are shown in "Assigned licenses" but only one license is "in use" in license overview.
There seems to be some background tasks which do the work.
Hi, thank you for the report. This issue already fixed and will be available in the nearest updates. | 2019-04-26T12:11:30 | https://forum.acronis.com/forum/acronis-backup-12/solved-acronis-backup-subscription-licenses-are-not-assigned-vmware-hosts |

Our governor doesn't believe we should let local school districts determine what's best in relation to educating our children if it gets in the way of the Iowa State Fair.
On Monday, Gov. Terry Branstad announced the Iowa Department of Education has the authority to change the policy on the start of the school year so it doesn't conflict with the state fair. He claims starting in mid-August, as many schools do, hurts the state's tourism industry.
The governor was caving in to the manager of the state fair and 21 other Iowa tourism-related entities, who submitted a petition encouraging the governor to push back the start of school.
The annual state fair is a mid-August event that generates hundreds of thousands of dollars - if not more - for the Des Moines metro area for 11 days but doesn't do much else for the rest of us.
Moreover, the governor, whose rhetoric has been about improving the performance of students in Iowa classrooms, places that objective behind building up the coffers of those in the tourism industry.
Local school districts can seek a waiver from the state law that says classes begin the week of Sept. 1. Most do ask, and waivers are granted. Most schools start in August.
That local school districts even need the blessing of a bureaucracy in Des Moines to grant them permission to start the school year before Sept. 1 is offensive on its own. But that's the way it is.
This year, most schools will have classes started by Aug. 23. This year, the state fair will run Aug. 8 to 18. So there shouldn't be a problem with the start of school.
Tourism officials say they need the kids, who supply much needed - and inexpensive - labor for their industry.
It's unfortunate it's even come to this. School districts, and school boards, are focusing on the education of the children under their care. Let them do their jobs.
That the tourism industry is imparting such influence over a governor who asserts education as one of his top priorities is troubling.
The start of the school year is a district decision. It shouldn't be a heavy-handed mandate from Des Moines. And certainly not one dictated by the tourism industry. | 2019-04-19T08:20:40 | https://www.thehawkeye.com/article/20130620/OPINION/306209807 |

Summary: WordSwing provides text adventure games which are sort of a mix between graded readers, choose your own story adventure books, and role player games. These are made for intermediate and higher level students which helps to fill the gap where there aren’t a lot of study materials available. I’d definitely suggest trying them out!
While the platform is still being improved, the content itself is very good.
They’ve focused on intermediate and higher students where study materials are most needed.
$8 per month is fair and the price is competitive with similar(ish) apps.
The focus on intermediate and higher level students helps to fill a gap where materials were lacking.
You’re forced to actively read and listen to the stories. You’ll have to make decisions based on what’s happening in the story.
It’s easy to use, look up unknown words, and generally works well.
Occasionally the app can be a little slow. This seems to be rare though.
While there are other components to WordSwing, they’re not done nearly as well as the text adventure games.
Price: A subscription to WordSwing costs $8/month.
The Chairman’s Bao releases lots of news articles from the beginner to advanced level.
LingQ can be used for practicing reading intermediate and higher level content but doesn’t include many original articles.
The intermediate and upper-intermediate level is an awkward zone where Chinese learning resources are scarce.
At this stage, students want to start getting into native resources but they’re still too challenging to get much benefit from using them.
That’s where WordSwing comes in. They’ve decided to make something for this underrepresented group of students.
While there are several different things going on with WordSwing, the main one is their Text Adventure Games and that’s what we’ll focus on first.
This is the biggest component of WordSwing and my favorite part. There are several different text adventure games already on WordSwing with more planned to be released in the future.
These are sort of a mix between graded readers, choose your own adventure stories, and rpgs.
You’ll find that all of their text adventure games are written at the intermediate or upper-intermediate level. Before starting, you’ll also see the number of distinct Chinese characters in each story and a description in English.
Although the vocabulary is limited to an extent, it’s much less so than you’ll find with graded readers like Mandarin Companion. The stories are very interesting and fun to work through.
While the time it takes to read each one will vary depending on the person and the decisions they make, you’ll definitely get plenty of study time out of each one.
Here you find yourself in a sort of post-apocalyptic world where the air is barely breathable. With dangers lurking around every corner, you need to go out into the haze to find your missing brother.
This story is really unique and the one I’m currently reading. In this story, a man’s daughter was trapped inside a painting. You need to travel in and out of various paintings and figure out the story in order to rescue his daughter.
Here you’ll need to follow instructions to make sure all the animals are fed properly, but the animals will be distracting you along the way.
There are a few other stories to choose from as well.
One thing I really like about these text adventure games compared with traditional graded readers is that you’re tested on your comprehension skills throughout. However, this testing doesn’t take the form of boring multiple choice questions.
Instead, the testing comes a lot more naturally.
In real-life, your comprehension skills aren’t tested by exam style questions.
Your comprehension is shown by your responses and the choices you make. Similarly, in these text-adventure games, you’ll need to make the correct choices based on what you read and listen to in order to complete the story successfully.
Even if your comprehension skills are very strong, that doesn’t mean that you’ll be able to quickly make your way through the story. There are still quite a few other factors at play.
Sometimes you’ll have no way of knowing the correct choice and just need to make your best guess. Other times, there is an element of chance that influences the story at certain points.
Because it is a text adventure game and not a typical graded reader, the story isn’t strictly linear. Sometimes you’ll make a decision and end up back at a point in the story that you’ve already passed through. You’ll need to think about the choices you’ve made, what has happened in the story and re-evaluate the best option for how to proceed.
This makes reading on WordSwing much more interactive and active than you’ll find elsewhere.
With some other resources, it can become easy to read passively but with WordSwing you’re forced to be actively involved.
Some of the stories resemble an rpg more than anything.
In the story, Into the Haze, for example, you’ll need to choose which skills your character will have, as well as which items you’d like to bring along with you. As you go through the story, you’ll face decisions, pick up useful objects, and inevitably get hurt, or even die and need to start over.
Like an rpg, you can look at the items you’re carrying, your health, and more by clicking on the grey tab near the bottom of the screen.
Let’s quickly talk about some of the practical aspects and user-interface.
The stories will include both narration and dialogues. These are represented differently by the bubble surrounding the words.
At the end of the text in each bubble, you’ll see a play button. Pushing this plays the audio. You can also click on any word that you don’t know and see the translation, along with pinyin.
You’ll often encounter choices in which you have to make a decision which will affect how the story unfolds. In these situations, you’ll click the number of the choice you want to make.
You can see how many decisions you’ve made in a game as well as some learning stats.
While the text adventure games are my favorite part of WordSwing, they’re not the only useful study material available.
There are currently three other aspects of WordSwing that may be worth checking out. These are comics, dialogues, and review & spaced repetition.
There’s currently one comic called Pepper and Carrot which includes 9 episodes. Similarly to the text adventure games, you’re able to look up individual words and play audio.
There are also lots of dialogues that you can read and listen to. I’m not a huge fan of these just because you’ll need to click the play button each time to listen to what is said. It would be a bit better if you could just play the dialogue straight through.
The format is similar to the other parts of WordSwing where you can look up words as you go. Although I’m not a huge fan of the dialogues, my impression is that they’ve experimented with lots of different ideas to see which ones are most popular. I believe these were all added before they started working on the text adventure games.
The final part worth mentioning is the review & spaced repetition. These are basically SRS flashcards, but actually a bit unique compared to those you would find elsewhere and are perhaps already familiar with.
There are two kinds of flashcards here – pronunciation recall and written word.
For the pronunciation part, you’ll see a character and type in the pinyin with the tone being required. You can adjust how long until you want to review it again. You can also adjust the number of cards you want to set as your goal.
For the written part, you’re given the pinyin and meaning of a word and asked if you know how to write it. It could be quite useful to have a piece of paper with you and practice writing the character as you go through these questions.
Unfortunately, neither of these flashcard exercises are particularly useful because of one major weakness – you can’t choose which words you’ll be tested on. For both of these review sets, you’ll start at the very basic words with no option to change them to something more suitable.
As I mentioned before, a lot of these extra features aren’t necessarily what WordSwing is focusing on now. They were created more as experiments to see what types of content would be most useful.
While these, particularly the flashcards and dialogues, aren’t particularly great, they also aren’t the reason anyone will subscribe to WordSwing. You probably won’t use them much but some people may like them, so there’s no harm in leaving them there.
While WordSwing has more than just text adventure games, that’s the primary focus of their content – and I’m happy about that.
These stories (or games, if you will) are really well-designed. They’re engaging to read and will force you to think through the decisions that you make. They provide very useful material for a segment of learners (intermediate and higher) that are typically ignored.
For $8 per month, you’ll get access to a lot of content. While not everyone will love reading in this way, I’d recommend anyone at this level to give WordSwing a try. You can try out the beginning parts of their text adventure games for free online or through their apps. | 2019-04-20T16:19:07 | https://www.alllanguageresources.com/wordswing/ |
Fort Morgan High School knows how to bring the community together to celebrate its homecoming: carnival games and prizes, cotton candy and other treats, a dunk tank, chances to smash up a car and a big bonfire.
All this and more will be set up and waiting Wednesday night at the Mustang's annual Homecoming Carnival at Legion Field, according to FMHS students Joana Hernandez and Cole Givens.
They are members of the Student Senate class at FMHS, which organizes the annual carnival and works to get the greater community to come and celebrate all things Mustangs on their special week.
"It's just like a fun time to be with your friends and family, hang out and play games," Hernandez, sophomore, said.
"It's probably a good way to go out, be with the community and meet some new people," Givens, a junior, said.
The carnival usually offers something for all ages. In the past, there have been things like a Jacob's Ladder, a petting zoo, face painting, a ring toss, a bouncy house and food and candy booths. It will last from 5 to 8 p.m., with the bonfire to follow as long as winds allow. The Student Senate has had lots of luck in previous years with both the turnout and the weather, and the class is hoping both are in their favor this year, as well.
Those who have been to the carnival before likely will recognize plenty of the games and contests. In previous years, between 15 and 20 students clubs have hosted booths and games at the carnival, and that likely will be the case again this year.
The whole event is a combination of fundraisers, with the Student Senate and its activities and projects benefiting from the $3 admission fees and then individual clubs and organizations benefiting from the 50-cent tickets people fork over to play their games or get chances at contests. Other clubs and groups will sell carnival food as their fundraiser.
One of the popular events is the car smash, where people can pay to take a sledge hammer to a vehicle.
When: 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 27; bonfire follows around 8 p.m.
Where: Legion Field, Fort Morgan; bonfire happening behind the field, weather pending.
Cost: Admission is $3 each. Tickets for carnival games and food are 50 cents each.
Like with last year, the money raised by the car smash will benefit the FMHS after prom party, according to Givens.
And even when the carnival ends, there will still me more to come. As long as the weather holds, the bonfire and pep rally will be held behind Legion Field. This serves as an even bigger community-building celebration.
"We're hoping that the cheerleaders will be there again," Givens said.
The Fort Morgan Fire Department and its volunteer firefighters oversee the bonfire, keeping people at a safe distance. Then, when it's time to go home, the firefighters then put it out.
For more information about the carnival, contact FMHS Student Senate teacher Greg Edson at 970-867-5648 ext. 46215 or [email protected]. | 2019-04-23T19:52:15 | http://www.fortmorgantimes.com/fort-morgan-schools/ci_32147485/fmhs-homecoming-carnival-happening-wednesday-night |
A tutorial on using geospatial analysis, shapefiles and datasets from the U.S. Geological Survey, Census, and Department of Education to visualize the impact of Oklahoma's earthquakes and explore possible investigative projects.
This CartoDB map shows the location of Oklahoma schools that are within areas in which USGS instruments measured an Modified Mercalli Intensity of at least 4.5 from the most powerful of Oklahoma's recent surge of earthquakes.
The school locations are color-coded relative to the percentage of their students eligible for free or reduced lunch (a proxy for estimating the poverty level among students). The U.S. Census tracts are color-coded relative to the median household income, as measured by the American Community Survey, Table B19013.
This visualization is the result of an exploratory exercise and so it comes with a lot of caveats that are explained below. However, it's meant to be an example of both the visualization and investigative possibilities when using geospatial queries. This tutorial assumes you're already well-versed in basic SQL (particularly joins), and have also perused a few of my past CartoDB tutorials, as well as CartoDB's excellent resources.
In 2011, the Center for Investigative Reporting found "systemic failures" in how California officials safeguard schools from earthquakes. CIR's indepth project, which was a Pulitzer finalist, spurred statewide policy changes for uncovering how lax oversight allowed "children and teachers to occupy buildings with structural flaws and potential safety hazards reported during construction."
If such neglect can happen in a state like California, with its long and well-known seismic history, what can we expect from other states? Well, neglect is not the issue because those states – not having many earthquakes to protect from – generally don't have expansive regulations to be neglectful of.
But what if a previously seismically-safe state were to suddenly find itself to not be safe, and thus without the decades of lessons and laws that California has developed?
The 4.5 earthquake left a large crack that now runs along the gym wall and on the opposite side of the wall a large art room, the counseling office and the girls fitness center also have visible damage.
"We've sealed the building off evacuated the common wall classrooms and the kids are safe right now," Superintendent Hart said.
The Oklahoma earthquake surge appears to be the new normal, at least for the near future. But the vast majority of Oklahoma's present construction hasn't prepared for this. Much of the kind of deep reporting that CIR did for its "On Shaky Ground" project – including reviewing documentation of enforcement actions and construction funds – isn't relevant in a state without that regulatory framework.
But this also means that our initial investigative heuristics can be a little more blunt: if a school built to Oklahoma's past standards suffered damage from a M4.5 earthquake, then we might hypothesize that all other schools may be at risk from earthquakes of similar magnitude.
We don't have scientific expertise to predict where Oklahoma's next big earthquakes will happen. They don't appear to fall along Oklahoma's known historical fault lines, and their cause has been linked to wastewater disposal activity from drilling. The U.S. Geological Survey announced earlier this year it would release a new hazard map.
So let's start with the major earthquakes that have already occurred in Oklahoma, then find the schools situated in the zones of seismic activity that could have potentially resulted in damage, according to the USGS. We do this with the understanding that past seismic activity may not directly correlate with future activity when it comes to induced earthquakes. But we can update the map as new information comes in.
And to further refine our potential investigative leads, let's apply another broad, if simplistic filter: poorer schools may have poorer construction and maintenance, as has been observed elsewhere in America's public school system.
This next section describes where to get the relevant data, how to filter and join it logically and spatially, and how to visualize the results using CartoDB. Again, refer to previous tutorials for more detailed explanations of the SQL and CartoDB functionality.
The U.S. Census website has a section for Cartographic Boundary Shapefiles.
The subpage, Cartographic Boundary Shapefiles - Census Tracts, contains a listing of zip files of tract data for each individual state: Here's Oklahoma (mirror here).
Go to the American FactFinder and choose the Advanced search option.
At this point, we can hit the Visualize or (Publish) button to turn this into what CartoDB considers to be an actual map – which allows us to add additional data layers. This is a purely CartoDB convention so refer to their tutorials for more information.
More to the point: there's just too many dots for this visualization to make any sense, so we need to do some filtering.
There are several variables that determine what makes an earthquake "significant." While earthquakes of M3.0+ are sometimes given an online mention in the Los Angeles Times earthquakes coverage, they generally don't cause any damage. Also, the actual shaking intensity of an earthquake is not solely dictated by magnitude, but by the composition of geological composition, among other factors.
So let's keep things simple: what is the weakest earthquake that caused newsworthy damage in Oklahoma? Last week (Nov. 30, 2015), a M4.7 quake is suspected to have caused some bricks to fall off the tallest building in Enid. A few years after Oklahoma's biggest recorded quake – a M5.6 in November 2011 – a small college is still cleaning up the mess. A M4.7 that struck nearby days later caused ceilings to fall down in a Meeker school. And there's that previously discussed M4.5 in July 2015 that cracked Crescent High's gymnasium.
So how close does a building have to be from an earthquake's epicenter to risk getting damaged? The answer is: it's complicated – certainly more complicated than imagining earthquakes to be a simple point on a 2-dimensional plane like our map.
But let's keep things simple for now: Crescent High is a little less than 4 miles from the epicenter of the M4.5 earthquake that damaged it.
We can use the PostGIS ST_BUFFER function to extrapolate a circle around each earthquake, effectively turning our point data into polygon data, i.e. circles.
The CartoDB tutorials explain it better, but using the previous SQL snippet, we specify the selection of useful columns from ok_earthquakes (such as time, magnitude, and place).
And then we calculate a new value for the_geom_webmercator – which is the hidden field that, by convention, CartoDB uses to project geometric data onto its web maps (here's a video tutorial/explanation).
Convert ok_earthquakes.the_geom (which is basically just a latitude/longitude point) into a geography data type.
Call the ST_BUFFER function on that the_geom-as-geography value and pass in 1609 * 4, which is the conversion of 4 miles to meters (the distance unit used by PostGIS). This ST_BUFFER call is what effectively turns each point into a geometric circle.
Use the ST_TRANSFORM function to project our newly-created circles to the map projection used by CartoDB, i.e. EPSG:3857, aka WGS84, aka "Web Mercator".
Alias the result as the_geom_webmercator so CartoDB knows to project it onto our web map.
At this point, I've taken advantage of CartoDB's option to create a new dataset from my now-convoluted query that filters and joins ok_earthquakes.
This new dataset – which again, is just the result of the previous SQL query – I have named ok_earthquakes_radii. Its schema includes a few fields from ok_quakes (e.g. time, place, id and mag). When the "create a new dataset" from query feature is used, CartoDB will helpfully create and set the cartodb_id and the_geom columns as needed, i.e. the_geom contains the Polygon data that draws those 4-mile circles.
The National Center for Education Statistics publishes the Public Elementary/Secondary School Universe Survey Data, which includes the names, addresses, and demographics of every school in the United States.
As you can imagine, this is a lot of rows and columns. The documentation of its fields is here. A plaintext description of the record layout is here.
The data file for 2013-2014 is 14.1MB zipped/107MB unzipped tab-delimited file.
As a quick aside, I used the awesome csvsql command-line tool (which is part of the csvkit toolkit). Making a database just to clean up and export data into a database can cause serious anger issues, so learning about csvkit (and command-line operations in general) is highly recommended.
Let's add a little visual variety to our school dots. In the introduction, I hypothesize that while all schools and children are important, schools that serve poorer populations might be more affected by earthquakes because, well, poorer schools tend to get the short-end in other areas of educational resources – though ideally, every public school has the same access to public funds for construction and facility maintenance. (So, we're being a bit cynical here).
A common proxy for estimating student poverty is to look at the number of students eligible for the federally-funded free/reduced lunch program, which is a number that the federal education department conveniently tracks.
OK, now we have to deal with the fact that our map devotes far too much ink to schools that are, for the time being, not near the locations of previous major earthquakes. So let's reduce the list of schools to just the ones that are located within the geometry of the 4-mile circles we constructed around each earthquake's epicenter, i.e. the ok_earthquakes_radii dataset.
OK, so let's try a geospatial analysis that treats earthquakes as being a little more complicated than circles on a map.
near-real-time maps of ground motion and shaking intensity following significant earthquakes. These maps are used by federal, state, and local organizations, both public and private, for post-earthquake response and recovery, public and scientific information, as well as for preparedness exercises and disaster planning.
Basically, anything under a MMI value of 5.0 is barely worth tracking. At 5.0, the potential damage is described as "Light": such as pictures being moved and pendulum clocks failing to swing their pendulums.
So referring to the MMI scale, it seems we should use SQL to filter for intensity values 5.0+, which involve a level of shaking that can cause "light" damage. However, Crescent High School – the school that necessitated the first ever earthquake insurance claim for an Oklahoma public school – was situated in an intensity zone of 4.6.
OK, a quick detour into design considerations. The fill color for the intensity contour lines obscures the median household income data that we mapped earlier before. Maybe the household income data is not particularly relevant? Or, if we feel like we must have that context, then we can compromise by rendering the intensity data as simply color-coded lines, and reduce (or eliminate) their corresponding fill color.
This kind of customization can be done with the CartoCSS panel. Standard CSS, nevermind CartoCSS, nevermind CartoDB's implementation of CartoCSS, is far beyond the scope of this tutorial. I direct you to CartoDB's writeup and my previous tutorial.
Note that I've left the 4-mile-circular representations of each earthquake to show how different the visualization for our simplified model ("each earthquake is just a big circle!") versus what we can get from the USGS ShakeMap program. The ok_earthquakes_radii dataset is not particularly worth keeping in the final visualization so we can go ahead and take it out.
The area encompassed by the intensity contour layer is significantly larger than the area encircled by our simplified, now-obsolete visualization of earthquake epicenters. This means that we need to write a new query to find all the schools within intensity zones of 4.5+.
The USGS and Oklahoma Geological Survey (OGS) both have more specific geological datasets. I'm not a geologist so I have even less of a clue of how to appropriately apply the data.
The OGS and USGS were previously and famously at odds about the cause of Oklahoma's earthquake surge. I'm not sure if the OGS fault map is different than the one produced by the USGS Mineral Resources On-Line Spatial Data page.
I don't know what insights to draw from the fault lines, particularly what's to be made of the fact that none of the major earthquakes have occurred near the areas of most concentrated fault lines (if that's even the correct way to interpret the fault lines). So I've hidden the layer by default from my final visualization, but you can turn it on (by clicking the thingy in the top right of the interactive map). And I might update this section whenever USGS gets around to releasing its "new hazard map for earthquakes from induced seismicity", if they haven't already (who knows, I'm not a geo-seismic-ologist).
That the locations of past Oklahoma earthquakes correlates with future Oklahoma earthquakes.
That concentration of poverty in a student population correlates with a school's level of maintenance and repair.
That areas with similar Modified Mercalli Intensity measurements experience the same potential risk of damage (they don't – such a calculation has many other variables).
We might go as far as to argue that since the vast majority of schools in our geospatial analysis have not reported any damage, that would seem to make our geospatial analysis pretty useless.
And that would be a fair point. But it's worth noting that both schools we know to be damaged – Crescent and Meeker schools – are both included in our geospatial analysis. So that's not nothing. And of course, as is the inherent nature of self-reported incidents – we don't know if there are schools that suffered deeper, structural damage that may become visually evident over time, or when other earthquakes hit. In the news report of the Meeker school damage, the M5.6 earthquake may have caused damage that was only noticed in the later, but weaker M4.7 quake.
But we didn't have to set out to prove anything. In some investigative projects, it's helpful to at least narrow down a list of leads and work from there. And the goal doesn't have to be investigative – there's nothing wrong with doing an inquiry that helps to guide proactive, precautionary safety measures. And hell, maybe everything will just work out and we're actually at the tail end of Oklahoma's earthquake swarm. But if this geological trend continues – and the number of earthquakes is already too many to easily count – it's worth considering the important insights that geospatial analysis and public data can reveal. | 2019-04-23T04:31:57 | http://2015.padjo.org/tutorials/mapping/077-ok-schools-quakes/ |

I am in my last few months of school and we required to write a paper on technology. While shopping with my girlfriend the other day, the topic hit me like a ton of bricks. What’s the deal with the HVAC systems in large shopping malls and why doesn’t the system work the same in different areas? iAs we walked through the stores I started to formulate my paper. I wanted to understand HVAC systems better and know what went into the design and layout. You see, you can go from one shop to the next and feel freezing cold or boiling hot. That just doesn’t make any sense to me. It still seems shocking that there is no way to coordinate the HVAC systems and the programs that they use to cool and heat evenly throughout the stores. The HVAC systems should be designed by the HVAC providers as they are the ones who are professionals. I think that sometimes, contractors are hired to install the systems and they just put the ductwork, air vents, and dampers where they think they should go. If the system is installed incorrectly then you can’t expect any program to run efficiently. I will have to pay a visit to my local HVAC dealer for some statistics and advice on my paper but I think it will be a grade A paper at any rate. Who knows, maybe after high school I will decide to go to a trade school and go into the HVAC business myself. It would be a great job and I have heard that technicians are in high demand. | 2019-04-19T14:25:32 | http://hvaccincinnatioh.com/blog/2960 |
Hike on frozen Lake Welch and after a small snowstorm. We hiked on lake and explored the Islands on Lake Welch, and then bushwacked to a trail and continued the hike on a trail. There was about 3 inches of fresh snow on top of the frozen lake. We encountered several ice-fisherman as well as cross-country skiers on the lake. The three islands on the lake, which we explored, were very dense with brush and small tress and we had to crawl on hands and feet through them.
We then hiked on the lake to the frozen and snow-covered beach, and then attempted to find the old Hasenclever Road. We couldn't find the road so ended up bushwacking from Lake Welch north to the Beech trail. Took the Beech trail west towards the road, then walked along the road back to the car.
Looking east from the road.
The lake is quite busy with skiers and fishermen.

Recently, as Alan and I were walking to the entrance of the grocery store, we noticed the familiar red bucket and person ringing the bell, at the front of the store. As I have written in a previous blog post, we always hold hands, so as Alan took his other hand and reached in his pocket to get out a donation for the red bucket… IT happened.
Shocked, we looked at each other, stopped in our steps and said, “How old do you think we are?” Good thing we have a sense of humor. You see, I am 56 and Alan is 58. Not elderly.
The man looked so embarrassed and really didn’t know what to say. We laughed and he laughed. Of course, we had to keep chatting about the incident.
We are blessed to remember that “age is just a number”. So, if you see us and you think we are older, that is okay. Our hair is thinning and gray.
Yet, even if we look older, we will always be kids at heart. Kids who love to laugh at the simplest joys in life and find pleasure in simple everyday blessings from God.
Blessings of laughter, holding hands, meeting people in the parking lot at the grocery store, and things like me asking “Where are my reading glasses?” and realizing they are on the top of my head. Yes, the simple things in life. | 2019-04-24T02:23:13 | https://mimionlife.wordpress.com/2016/12/ |

Introduction: Acute pulmonary embolism is the third leading cause of cardiovascular death. Management options include anticoagulation with or without thrombolysis. Concurrent persistent hypoxemia should be a clue to the existence of an intracardiac shunt.
Case Presentation: A 46-year-old man experienced acute hypoxemic respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation after anesthesia induction for elective hip arthroplasty. He was found to have submassive bilateral pulmonary emboli with acute right ventricular dysfunction and a coexisting patent foramen ovale with right-to-left shunt. He remained profoundly hypoxemic despite catheter-directed thrombolysis. He underwent surgical embolectomy with partial endarterectomy, resulting in clinical improvement.
Discussion: The management of acute submassive pulmonary embolism is undertaken on an individualized basis because of the wide spectrum of clinical presentations. In this report we review the literature and discuss the evidence behind the management of cases of acute pulmonary embolism complicated by hypoxemia from a patent foramen ovale. In a case of acute pulmonary embolism complicated by refractory hypoxemia from an intracardiac shunt, adjunctive therapies in addition to anticoagulation and thrombolysis must be considered.
Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is the third leading cause of cardiovascular death.1 PE can be stratified by prognosis to guide treatment decisions. Submassive or intermediate-risk PE is diagnosed on the basis of normal blood pressure in conjunction with evidence of cardiac dysfunction, shown either on cardiothoracic imaging or with elevated serum cardiac biomarkers. Acute management options for PE include anticoagulation alone or in combination with systemic thrombolytic therapy or catheter-directed thrombolysis, although guideline recommendations reserve thrombolytic therapy for cases of PE associated with hypotension (massive or high-risk PE). Persistent hypoxemia in cases of acute PE should alert clinicians to the possibility of an intracardiac shunt, such as a patent foramen ovale (PFO).
Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure developed in a 46-year-old white man during anesthesia induction for elective left total hip arthroplasty. Four days before the surgery, the patient and his wife had noticed that he was having episodes of palpitations and dyspnea. He had been largely sedentary because of chronic hip pain. His medical history included morbid obesity, pseudotumor cerebri maintained on a regimen of acetazolamide, obstructive sleep apnea, and stable schizoaffective disorder. His prior cardiac workup, which was performed in the setting of chest pain and was ultimately deemed nonanginal, included a normal transthoracic echocardiogram and a coronary angiogram demonstrating nonobstructive coronary arterial disease. His social history was unremarkable, although his family history contained a Factor V Leiden mutation.
During induction of anesthesia, he remained hemodynamically stable but had progressively worsening hypoxemia demonstrated on serial arterial blood gas values. He was sedated with propofol, paralyzed initially with succinylcholine and maintained with rocuronium, and received mechanical ventilation with volume assist/control with a 100% fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 10 cm H2O. An arterial blood gas test on this setting showed a pH of 7.29, PCO2 of 50 mmHg, and PO2 of 65 mmHg. A transesophageal echocardiogram demonstrated right-sided heart dysfunction with a large right ventricle (RV) to left ventricle (LV) ratio and was positive for McConnell sign (contraction of the right ventricular apex with akinesis of the free wall).
Acute PE was suspected, and an unfractionated heparin infusion was started. The patient’s scheduled elective hip arthroplasty was aborted because of the degree of hypoxemia. The patient was transferred to the intensive care unit.
On arrival to the intensive care unit, he was afebrile, with a heart rate of 91 beats/min and blood pressure of 121/61 mmHg by arterial line. Laboratory findings included leukocytosis (15.2 × 109/L) with 3% band forms. Lactate level was 1.39 mmol/L (within the normal range). Troponin I level was 0.05 ng/mL (normal range, 0-0.4 ng/mL) and did not change on serial testing.
A computed tomography angiogram of the chest showed bilateral large pulmonary emboli, nearly occluding the right and left pulmonary arteries, with extension into the upper and lower lobes as well as into the right middle lobe (Figures 1 and 2). Because of his hypoxemia while receiving an FiO2 of 100%, we were concerned he had an intracardiac shunt. A transthoracic echocardiogram with agitated saline confirmed the presence of a PFO with right-to-left shunt. The estimated shunt fraction was approximately 40%. Because the patient had severe hypoxemia secondary to the acute PE, which was causing elevated RV pressures and right-to-left cardiac shunting, we performed catheter-directed thrombolysis with infusion of alteplase through bilateral femoral lysis catheters at 1 mg/h for 5 hours, and then 0.5 mg/h for 48 hours. The presence of a PFO was also confirmed during this procedure.
The patient continued to have intermittent desaturations despite oxygenation with 100% FiO2. The PEEP was lowered to 5 cm H2O, and inhaled nitric oxide therapy was started in an attempt to reduce the shunt fraction. Cardiothoracic surgery was consulted for possible embolectomy in light of unsuccessful directed thrombolysis. However, our patient’s hypoxemia stabilized with the administration of 100% FiO2 and inhaled nitric oxide on 30 ppm, with arterial partial pressure of oxygen maintained above 60 mmHg. He was unable to wean off inhaled nitric oxide despite 48 hours of thrombolytic therapy, so we made the decision to pursue surgical intervention. Surgical embolectomy (Figure 3), partial endarterectomy, and closure of the PFO were performed on hospital day 4. The patient was successfully extubated on hospital day 6.
The hospital course was complicated by right-sided hemiparesis that was discovered on sedation hold that was performed a few hours before embolectomy. A noncontrast-enhanced computed tomography scan of the head demonstrated multiple small embolic strokes affecting the left premotor cortex. These were probably paradoxical emboli in the setting of the PFO, without evidence of hemorrhagic conversion. The patient was discharged to a skilled nursing facility on hospital day 11. Table 1 shows a timeline of the case.
On follow-up with his primary care physician four weeks after hospital discharge, our patient was noted to be well-appearing and without residual deficits from his stroke. As of this writing, he remains on an anticoagulation regimen of rivaroxaban. He was evaluated for an underlying hypercoagulable state but did not have Factor V Leiden mutation or antiphospholipid antibodies.
Written informed consent was obtained from the patient. Institutional review board approval was waived by the Veterans Affairs Portland Health Care System in OR because the patient’s demographic information was deidentified in this case report.
The all-cause mortality for patients in the US and Europe with acute PE ranges from 9% to 17%.1 Acute PE is categorized into massive, submassive, and nonmassive types. Massive, or high-risk, PE occurs in the setting of persistent hypotension with systolic blood pressure less than 90 mmHg for 15 minutes or greater. Normotensive individuals with evidence of right-sided heart dysfunction, whether on imaging such as computed tomography or echocardiography, or by elevated cardiac biomarkers such as troponin or creatine kinase-myocardial band, are classified as having submassive, or intermediate-risk, PE.2,3 PE may also be stratified by the PE Severity Index, which is a validated scoring system based on independent predictors of mortality.3 We presented a case of a patient with a submassive PE and right ventricular dysfunction. He had an intermediate-risk PE Severity Index score (Class III), which gave him a 3% to 7% risk of 30-day mortality.
We conducted a PubMed search using the search terms [pulmonary embolism OR embolus] AND [hypoxemia OR hypoxemic] AND [patent foramen ovale] for articles published between 1990 and 2016. Individual cases, presented in either case reports or case series, were selected. Further relevant case reports were extracted from the bibliography of articles gathered from the search. In total, there were 9 articles with 12 individual cases reported of acute PE occurring in the setting of PFO and resulting in persistent hypoxemia (Table 2).4,6-13 Submassive PE was present in 45% of patients, and of these, survival was 100%. In those with massive PE, survival was 20%. The overall survival was 45%. Two patients without hypotension received systemic thrombolytics, 27% of the total.7,8 In one case report describing a patient without hypotension who received thrombolysis, the authors advocated for systemic thrombolysis because of the size of the emboli and the impending risk of hemodynamic collapse.8 Surgical intervention was reported in 18% of patients. No patients received catheter-directed thrombolysis.
Two recent meta-analyses,16,17 both including PEITHO, found that systemic thrombolysis decreases overall mortality while increasing major bleeding for acute PEs of both high and intermediate risk. The meta-analysis by Marti et al16 found that 30-day mortality was significantly decreased with systemic thrombolysis (2.3% vs 3.9%; OR = 0.59, 95% CI = 0.36-0.96, p = 0.034) while there were significantly increased rates of major hemorrhage (9.9% vs 3.6%; OR = 2.91, 95% CI = 1.95-4.36, p < 0.0001) and fatal or intracranial hemorrhage (1.7% vs 0.3%; OR = 3.18, 95% CI = 1.25-8.11, p = 0.008). However, 30-day overall mortality was not significantly different when the analysis included only intermediate risk PE. The analysis also did not include ULTIMA.16 The meta-analysis by Chatterjee et al17 found a similar significant benefit in the 30-day all-cause mortality rate for all acute PEs with a number needed to treat of 59, which was counterbalanced by a significant increase in the rates of major bleeding (number needed to harm of 18) and intracranial hemorrhage (number needed to harm of 78). Additionally, a systematic review of 35 trials demonstrated a pooled survival of 87% among patients with massive PE treated with catheter-directed interventions; 60% to 67% of these individuals also had received systemic thrombolytics.18 We could not find analyses from these trials that separately reported outcomes for patients with significant intracardiac right-to-left shunts.
The 2016 revision of the American College of Chest Physicians guidelines for venous thromboembolism,2 as well as the 2014 European Society of Cardiology guidelines for acute PE,3 recommend systemic thrombolysis for acute massive PE (a Grade 1B recommendation in the American College of Chest Physicians guidelines). Both sets of guidelines recommend against routine systemic thrombolysis in individuals with PE but who do not have shock or hypotension, unless they have clinical deterioration (Grade 1B recommendation).2,3 We elected to treat our patient’s submassive PE with thrombolysis because we did not expect his severe hypoxemia to improve otherwise.
Although there are no comparative trials of catheter-directed vs systemic thrombolytics,19 we pursued catheter-directed thrombolysis because of the possible lower risk of bleeding and our institutional experience with this procedure (Grade 2C recommendation per American College of Chest Physicians guidelines).2 In one systematic review and meta-analysis, the risk of major bleeding from catheter-directed thrombolysis was about 10% from 24 studies performed in both massive and submassive PE20; in another systematic review stratified by PE classification, the risk of major bleeding was 3.9 per 100 cases of catheter-directed thrombolysis in hemodynamically stable PE.21 In our literature review of similar patients, none of the reported cases used catheter-directed interventions; however, only 1 of these cases was published after ULTIMA.
Another negative consequence of PFO is the risk of paradoxical emboli resulting in strokes. Such patients may hypothetically be at increased risk of intracranial hemorrhage from hemorrhagic conversion of these paradoxical strokes after undergoing systemic or catheter-directed thrombolysis. The coexistence of a PFO was associated with the increased incidence of ischemic stroke among patients with acute PE in 1 observational study, with a 13% rate of stroke in 48 patients who were found to have a PFO, and 2.2% stroke rate among 91 patients who did not have a PFO. However, there was no between-group difference in the proportion of patients receiving systemic thrombolysis.22 Although our patient was found to have strokes from paradoxical emboli, the use of catheter-directed thrombolysis in his case did not result in intracranial hemorrhage.
Other management considerations in patients with PE besides thrombolytics or anticoagulation therapy include mechanical or medical support of RV failure and surgical embolectomy. Pulmonary vasodilators may also be used to decrease pulmonary vascular resistance in situations of acute RV failure, such as acute PE. Inhaled nitric oxide has a rapid onset and short half-life, making it easily titratable.23 Inhaled pulmonary vasodilators were used in 2 cases in our literature review.6,13 Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be used as another bridge to definitive therapy for persistent shock (venoarterial ECMO) or hypoxemia alone (venovenous). Venovenous ECMO was used in 1 case in our literature review as a bridge to surgery; that patient had concurrent cardiac failure and was reliant on a biventricular assist device.13 Surgical embolectomy is the definitive management for cases in which thrombolytics have failed or are contraindicated. The 1-year survival rate for surgical embolectomy in 1 series was 80% for submassive PE, compared with 66% for massive PE.24 Surgical intervention was successful in resolving our patient’s hypoxemia.
The management of acute submassive PE is undertaken on an individualized basis, given the spectrum of clinical presentations of such cases. The use of systemic thrombolysis should be weighed against the risk of severe bleeding. The outcomes of catheter-directed interventions compared with systemic thrombolysis are yet unknown. In acute PE with refractory hypoxemia in which an intracardiac shunt is the cause, there is even less evidence to guide decision making, because many of the large trials exclude patients with PFO or do not specifically identify these patients. When deciding between systemic or catheter-directed thrombolysis or anticoagulation therapy alone, the clinician should consider individual patient factors and the potential increased risk of intracranial hemorrhage because of a PFO. Finally, if there is a failure of systemic thrombolysis to decrease pulmonary arterial pressure and the intracardiac shunt, then bridging therapies such as ECMO or surgical embolectomy must be considered.

After the animatic's completion the group began their project.
The issue with Flash is that it is version sensitive. The one available in the presentation room, the mac lab, and on lisa's laptop are all different and that corrupts aspects within the file. Originally we exported the file from Flash to load into FinalCut or Premiere for the audio but the .mov file was corrupted because we used the lab to do this instead of Lisa's laptop when the files had been created on her laptop. Unfortunately, she was not willing to stay with us to export and left as soon as she thought she was able. Using Flash to add the audio was no better although this is what Lisa suggested we do, and though the file itself was fine, exporting it created both visual and audio glitches.
Our first roughcut was barely an experience with doubled up audio and glitching visuals that left traces of images on the screen.
The second rough cut was much better. Nothing had been timed yet as everyone had their own pieces that they worked on. My Backgrounds had been completed and sent over the internet, and Roshanth had sent Lisa the length times of the animation clips as he was in charge of audio, this included assembling the pace of the piece by the audio interview recording. | 2019-04-20T12:20:46 | http://nicolewilk.blogspot.com/2012/03/background-process-with-nicole-wilk.html |
JDBC is the key Java technology for relational database access. Oracle is arguably the most widely used relational database platform in the world. In this book, Donald Bales brings these two technologies together, and shows you how to leverage the full power of Oracle's implementation of JDBC.
You begin by learning the all-important mysteries of establishing database connections. This can be one of the most frustrating areas for programmers new to JDBC, and Donald covers it well with detailed information and examples showing how to make database connections from applications, applets, Servlets, and even from Java programs running within the database itself.
Next comes thorough coverage of JDBC's relational SQL features. You'll learn how to issue SQL statements and get results back from the database, how to read and write data from large, streaming data types such as BLOBs, CLOBs, and BFILEs, and you'll learn how to interface with Oracle's other built-in programming language, PL/SQL.
If you're taking advantage of the Oracle's relatively new ability to create object tables and column objects based on user-defined datatypes, you'll be pleased with Don's thorough treatment of this subject. Don shows you how to use JPublisher and JDBC to work seamlessly with Oracle database objects from within Java programs. You'll also learn how to access nested tables and arrays using JDBC.
Donald concludes the book with a discussion of transaction management, locking, concurrency, and performance--topics that every professional JDBC programmer must be familiar with. If you write Java programs to run against an Oracle database, this book is a must-have. | 2019-04-26T17:12:01 | https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/java-programming-with/059600088X/?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=publisher&utm_source=oreilly&utm_content=buybox |

A CD with unusual Tribal Bellydance style music, Fusion bellydance, lounge, oriental ambient and new age dance.
Tribal Bellydance is a CD that explores the boundaries of fusion bellydance, ATS,bellywood and oriental improvisation.
This CD includes the BellyHop classic "The indigo factor", featuring the masinko, an Ethiopian rababa.
Mostly authentic oriental and arabic instruments were used such as duduk (or tuduk), kaval, nay, oud, bendir, doumbek, rababa, mizmar, surnai, gasba, dombra (Kazachstani saz) and yu-qin (or Chinese moon guitar).
This CD includes "Hatshepsut part 2" or "Jour-ney". The second part of the Hatshepsut suite. The music reflects the voyage on the waves of the Red sea and uses sitrum, a pharaonic instrument used on religious occasions.
"Raqs al Saif", Arabic for Sword dance, features an itching Zurna on a Karatchi beat.
"Qamar al Kahira" or Moon of Cairo is recorded on a moonlit night in Caïro - hence the name. This Shifte Telli fits a sensual veil dance or sword dance.
Devre Hindi, a piece in 7/8 - bellydance isolations.
"Naylate" is inspired by the North African Ouled Nayl tribe and sounds like "Gothic tribal", with the accoustic traditional instruments close to metal. Especially then the Uygurian surnai.
"Sind on the raqs" a bellywood track, composed on a Indian beat played by Krishna, but with a typical bellydance riff: Tribal Bollywood or bellywood?
"Chalinova" bellydance fusion of an Adeni, a Bedouin Dance rhythm of the region of Aden (Yemen), and bossa-nova guitar. Adeni is very close to Khaliji Dance.
Abdel Hazim composed tracks for oriental and fusion dancers who are into Experimental, Ambient and New Age Belly dance or belly breaks and isolations while "Al Kholoud" or eternity is more lounge.
Some tracks are more Rachel Brice style, some tracks Fat Chance Belly Dance or bellydance fusion a.k.a. Tribal fusion, some say lounge. The Zjora piece - with Zahdee from Algeria-Morrocco on oud - featured a mangouchi beat, a Tribal Ouled Nail rhythm, spiced up with oud and reggae bass.
Avec l'aide de: Zahdee du Maroc (oud), Abed Halabi (Lebanon) sur daraboukka, Krishna (India) sur tablas, Roh Al Marah (oboe) et autres. La musique tribale impro. Des morceaux de fusion et Urban belly dance.
I received my cd safe and sound.... and very, very quick also! Super fast shipping! Thank you!
And..... it is just as I expected.... WONDERFUL!!!!
Yes, I definitely agree.... great songs for performance.
I have listened to the samples several times! I want this CD! I need this CD!!!! LOL ~ I can't wait till it is in stock again! Please hurry! I'm drooling! ha ha ha!
Oh yes! 5 stars and then some!
If there was ever a belly dance cd to inspire a dancer to greatness..this is the place to start.
I just got this CD and it is terrific! Already have 2 songs in mind for a performance. Perfect for solo or troupe performances.
Love the CD, and playing in my car alot! | 2019-04-26T07:06:11 | https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/abdel2 |

The condo is very beautiful, clean and modern. A little outside of the downtown area but very accessible through the metro system, which was only a 5-min walk away, and the area was quiet and still had good places to eat and things to do. Miguel was very welcoming and accommodating. He even sent us information on where to eat, what to see and what to do in Lisbon to help us during our stay. Would recommend to anyone visiting Lisbon!
This great apartment was our home for one whole week in Lisbon. The apartment was in excellent condition, very clean and big enough to easily accommodate four people. The apartment is equipped with everything you would ever need. Miguel was very friendly, pleasant and helpful host, giving us a lot of information about the town and nearby places.

L'appartement est simplement parfait, super bien équipé, design, moderne, bien placé... et Miguel est vraiment au top, disponible, et très sympathique. Nous recommandons vivement!!
Magnifique appartement . Bien décoré et très propre. Vue sur le Tage. Très bon accueil . Seul "petit" bémol : Cet appartement est à 3/4 d'heure du centre ville en métro mais très proche du bord du Tage le long duquel il y a de belles ballades à faire et d'excellents restaurants.
Passamos três semanas neste apartamento e a experiência não poderia ter sido melhor. As fotos correspondem perfeitamente à realidade, o apartamento é novo, bem equipado, limpo e funcional. O proprietário e a pessoa que trabalha com ele são um capítulo à parte com sua amabilidade, educação, disponibilidade e interesse. Recomendo fortemente este apartamento e seguramente voltarei para uma outra temporada.
Very comfortable apartment with all mod cons and wonderful views from every aspect. Extremely clean and well kept. There is a fully equipped kitchen and spacious dining area which made eating in as pleasurable as eating out. There is an excellent local supermarket as well as plenty of local restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets. Access to both the airport and town centre is made very easy by the local metro station. Miguel was a very thoughtful host and did everything to ensure a comfortable stay.
Miguel's apartment was clean and bright and had everything we needed to enjoy our week in Lisbon. It was so close to the train station, grocery stores and restaurants we could walk to them. It was a short walk to three metro stops that were easily used to reach all the city sights and the airport was only one metro stop away! Miguel was so helpful and accommodating, meeting us at the train and helping with our luggage, booking taxi, getting boarding passes printed, recommending places and orienting us.
Miguel's apartment was exactly as listed. Fantastic accommodation with amazing views in a very nice, quiet area with easy access to underground, buses and taxis. Taxi from the airport only cost 8 euros and it was hassle free getting into the centre of Lisbon. Correspondence with Miguel was very easy and any queries we had he would answer promptly.

Raleigh, NC, USA and Brussels, BE – BioPontis Alliance for Rare Diseases, an international charitable organization, is announcing a summary report on its initiative to develop best practices in integrating rare disease patients into the earliest stages of drug discovery. Patients integration into drug development is being emphasized by many regulatory authorities, patient organizations, coalitions and pharmaceutical companies. However, that effort rarely if ever extends into the earliest drug discovery and preclinical phase, when the actual therapeutic strategy is set. The over 7,000 rare diseases represent a huge diversity of illnesses with frequently poorly understood clinical presentation, heterogeneity and progression. Therapeutics development in this arena must be addressed far more efficiently, which means that patients input needs to enter treatment development planning at the very beginning of drug discovery. Preclinical development patients’ involvement should improve the later experience in clinical trials, regulatory review and commercial delivery of treatment to patients.
As a nonprofit organization performing the earliest stages of drug discovery and development, BioPontis Alliance for Rare Diseases partners with academic research institutions and patient organizations with a dual mission: translate science into clinical candidates for rare neurologic diseases, and engage patient organizations to develop novel partnerships that enable patients’ participation on development teams. BioPontis is uniquely positioned to explore how patients’ representation and engagement could be practiced in treatment development. We decided to engage first in a direct dialogue with patients’ organization leaders to learn about what is important to patients and to co- develop practical methods for this new way of working between scientists, clinicians and patients. The results of two workshops, held in 2016 in the US and Europe with patient organizations within the rare neurological disease community, described in a summary paper entitled “Integrating Rare Disease Patients into Pre-Clinical Therapy Development”, is now available. Please register at http://biopontisalliance.org/patient-input/ to download a copy.
This initiative and workshops were supported by generous contributions from Shire, GlaxoSmithKline, the Baillet Latour Fund and private donors to BioPontis Alliance. | 2019-04-20T06:20:32 | http://biopontisalliance.org/integrating-rare-disease-patients-into-pre-clinical-therapy-development-a-workshop-summary-report-from-biopontis-alliance-for-rare-diseases/ |

I purchased a Vortex square/round dovetail bit. Seeing if anyone is running one and if you have any tips when it comes to programming and or running.
What software are you running it thru. Our Mozaik has a settings tab under the dovetail drawer setup where all the parameters are set.
Vortex also has a setup guide the publish. It should have been included with your bit. It it was not, I would be happy to send you a copy.
For now I am going to be using vectric to use it but I did notice in mozaik had something. How well does it work in mozaik? Right now, my mozaik is set up but still have yet to run a test piece through it (had it for 8months and haven’t had a chance to check it out!). They did send some info over and was going through it and it doesn’t seem too bad but just checking with someone who might have actually used it.
It works great. it is VERY sensitive to the material thickness.
A little word to the wise, in Mozaik, the material settings seem to override any settings in the optimizer. I was running designing the cabinets and then checking the thickness of the material and setting it on the Optimizer tab. It does not accept those value changes there and it cuts to the master material thickness. Hard to diagnose issues when you are cutting the wrong thickness of material.
What do you make cnc dovetail drawers out of? It's plywood right?
I always think solid wood when I make dovetails. One of the few things I use the incra router setup for.
Doug s, that’s what I was looking for when it came to tips! I know there is a lot to learn with mozaik but I feel trial by fire is a sure way to do it haha. I am used to tolerances with metals not wood yet so I am very eager to get into something new. Thanks!
I love my Incra setup for making dovetails. Hard to beat in my humble opinion.
Although I have to admit I have downloaded a trial copy of Jointcam and have been thinking about building a jig to cut dovetails on the Stinger. | 2019-04-26T11:41:56 | https://camheads.org/showthread.php?s=dee3a77d8140b9d500fea35637d4e1ec&p=75735 |
I’ve been doing headshots for my clients for so many years… it’s always the previous client who used me for something else that asks if I will do it and I happily oblige. I’ve got it down to a science, where I can set up at the office/workplace and with the assistance of natural light (all I need is clean shade and a little trick I do) I can accomplish as many as 20 people in one stint. Because I specialize in weddings, families and kids I’ve never really promoted it. This morning I woke up with an Oprah “Ah Ha Moment” to finally do something to promote it. It’s really rewarding to give people an image that they love to show off and are happy to use in all their marketing and business promotional items. So many times it’s something that is put off because of previous experiences that were bad (how many people complain that it’s like a drivers license photo!) Or like me, something that’s always been in the back of your mind to do but never really addressed. Well now is the time!!!
I couldn’t resist the reminder that I also cover Corporate Events, again something that I simply never advertise. I’ve done everything from Magic Johnson speaking (middle image below) to Qualcomm events where they take over the entire Gaslamp District for the night. Skechers has been a repeat client, I could name drop a lot of big companies to say the least.
So without further delay, here’s my brand spanking new promotion and I will hope to get many more in the books for my 2017 year! Hope to hear from you!!! | 2019-04-18T12:47:19 | http://www.photographybyjen.com/blog/?p=4489 |
Several new start-up lines feature all-business-class transatlantic flights. Even on the least opulent of these lines, seating and service is orders of magnitude better than in economy on any of the old lines. So far, however, these lines are not well known, especially outside the East Coast.
Actually, there are four such lines. And in addition to offering nothing but business class seats, their lowest fares are generally well below business-class prices on their giant competitors. The major downside is that, so far, only one of them flies from any U.S. metro area other than New York, and only one flies to any European city other than London.
Eos links New York (JFK) with London (Stansted). Currently, Eos flies up to three flights every day, including a daytime eastbound flight on some days. Eos offers the most opulent product of the four lines, using 757s with only 48 seats. Each seat is virtually a cocoon, with space for a guest, and it converts to a lie-flat bed. Sample round-trip fares for mid-September start at $2,404, including taxes and fees.
L’Avion links Newark with Paris (Orly). Currently, L’Avion flies one round-trip daily except Saturday. It flies 757s with 90 seats—obviously, each seat is less roomy than those on Eos, but they’re competitive with many other transatlantic business class services. Sample round-trip fares for mid-September start at $1,694, including taxes and fees.
Maxjet flies to London (Stansted) daily except Saturday from New York (JFK), plus four times a week from Las Vegas; Washington, D.C. (Dulles); and starting August 30, Los Angeles. It flies 767s with 102 seats—not fully lie-flat, and not as wide as those on Eos or L’Avion, but competitive with many other lines. Sample round-trip fares for mid-September start at $1,450 from Washington, $1,549 from Los Angeles or New York, and $1,850 from Las Vegas, including taxes and fees. I suspect that the Los Angeles fares are introductory specials, with regular rates closer to those from Las Vegas.
Silverjet flies from Newark to London (Luton) daily, with a second flight planned to start late July. It flies 767s with 100 lie-flat seats. Sample round-trip fares for mid-September start at $1,954. Silverjet is taking possession of two new planes this year, but so far hasn’t announced where they’ll fly.
All four lines claim to offer premium meal and beverage service, expedited boarding, airport lounges, and state-of-the-art in-flight entertainment. I haven’t flown any of them, but I have no doubt their products are fully competitive.
The lowest fares (those are the ones I show above) are nonrefundable, and they carry a substantial extra charge to change flight dates. Moreover, seats at those fares are limited, with none at all allocated to some peak-time flights, and presumably they sell out early on many flights.
The highest fares are fully refundable and exchangeable with no penalties; on Silverjet, they include “free” chauffeur service to/from airports.
Most of the four include one or more intermediate fare levels, available with fewer restrictions than the least expensive and still available when the all the cheap seats are sold.
All four carriers serve lesser-known airports in the U.K. and France, rather than Heathrow, Gatwick, or De Gaulle.
Stansted is the newest of the three BAA (formerly British Airports Authority) airports serving the London metro area; BAA also runs Heathrow and Gatwick. Of the three, Stansted is the farthest from central London—too far for practical taxi access. It also has the most modern terminal, and it is designated for the greatest amount of growth in coming years. Preferred access to/from central London is by express train link, with a stop at Tottenham Hale for an underground connection and a terminal at Liverpool Street station at the east end of the central business district. Trains operate every 15 minutes during busy times; travel time is about 45 minutes. Other trains at Stansted serve nearby Cambridge and several Midlands points.
London Luton is independent of the BAA system and home base for low-fare carrier easyJet plus lots of charter lines. Like Stansted, it’s a long way from the center and too far for reasonable taxi prices. Preferred access is by train (shuttle bus between the air terminal and Luton/Parkway rail station), with frequent trains on two routes: Thameslink to several central London stations and beyond to the south, plus Midland Mainline to Kings Cross or St. Pancras as well as much of the north. Minimum train time to London is 35 minutes (plus shuttle bus).
Paris-Orly was the city’s major airport for many years and still handles substantial numbers of flights. It’s actually a bit closer to central Paris than De Gaulle, and an easy taxi ride, but the available rail access service is a bit more cumbersome due to connection requirements.
Given recent horror stories about overcrowding at Heathrow, you’re likely to find Stansted an improvement even if the train trip is a bit longer. Luton is a bit more of a hassle.
Although generally less than half of what the giant lines charge, even the lowest fares on any of the four lines are well above economy levels on the giant lines. But they’re not so high as to be prohibitive for consumers looking for an alternative to the miserable cattle-car experience that is now standard in economy.
Clearly, Maxjet is the most interesting of the four lines for most Americans. It’s the only one that doesn’t completely ignore the more than 250 million of us who don’t live in the New York area. And its fares are the lowest of the four. L’Avion is also unique in that it’s the only one going somewhere other than London.
My guess is that, of the four lines, Maxjet is most likely to add other major U.S. terminals, possibly including Boston, Chicago, or San Francisco. Maxjet is also the most likely to start flying—probably from New York—to other European points.
Meanwhile, with such limited routes, most of us will have to sit on the sidelines and wait for expansion. Let’s hope it’s sooner rather than later. | 2019-04-25T09:51:20 | https://www.smartertravel.com/all-business-class-airlines-offer-cheap-flights-to-europe/ |

Organism Report: The aim for this lab report was to inform and identify one of numerous unknown microorganisms that were randomly chosen by each student through the usage of many diverse biochemical tests. So as to determine the identity of unknown organism #7, several biochemical and morphological tests were carried out.
The first test conducted, the Gram stain. A Simple gram stain was done on the unknown microorganism and was observed to be a light pink in color, small rod shaped microorganisms all through the whole slide.The next test to be carried out was the DNase agar plate test. A DNase test was employed to examine for the DNase activity. | 2019-04-19T20:53:09 | http://www.freepapers.io/essays/organism-report/ |
Costa Rica is in the process of implementing its urban development planning system. Its priorities for the next two years are the improvement of urban management and decentralization processes in order to strengthen local governments; reduce the number of population living in slums, improving conditions of houses considered temporary, mobiles or in poor condition; build more infrastructure and strengthening financial systems for slum improvement and urban gentrification of the center of San Jose.
The cooperation program, between UN-Habitat and the Government of Costa Rica includes capacity building projects for risk reduction and vulnerability, and the creation of safer cities. Apart from the National and the Local governments, UN-Habitat is already working with associates like IFAM, FOMUDE, groups of Women and other UN agencies in the country. | 2019-04-18T22:23:48 | https://unhabitat.org/books/documento-de-programa-de-pais-2008-2009-costa-rica/ |

Jobs in Australia | www.AuJobs.info: 6 Tips on Making Recruiters Part of Your Career Strategy (4/6) - A Recruiter Just Left Me a Message: Now What?
6 Tips on Making Recruiters Part of Your Career Strategy (4/6) - A Recruiter Just Left Me a Message: Now What?
A Recruiter Just Left Me a Message: Now What?
Say you have posted a stellar resume on LinkedIn and a recruiter’s called you about a job opening at certain company. What should you do next?
Head to Google. Recruiters will expect you to know something about the companies where they are suggesting you work. That is one reason why you should always let callers leave a message while job hunting: it gives you time to do a little homework before you call someone back. Go to companies’ websites and read their press release.
Also, determine what you want and don’t want from a job. To improve your chances with recruiters, be up-front with them. Tell them exactly what you are looking for, being specific about what you want in terms of compensation, benefits, and location. At some points, a recruiter will ask you what your current compensation is and how much you are seeking from your next job. Different recruiters and HR professionals have different opinions on how you should answer this question, but I would suggest stating a precise amount rather than giving as salary range. If you give a company a range and they do make you on offer, it will usually be at the low end of whatever range you provide them.
You can also improve your relationship with a recruiter by serving as a professional contact.

In this post, we will look at how 91Springboard’s founders plan on maintaining our work culture as we scale up even further. We’re now 100 employees strong and will be well over twice that number before the year ends.
Q. What Are The New Challenges You Foresee As You Scale Up – How Do You Plan To Tackle Them?
Regular communication from our end (the founders) and being transparent and clear about what kind of a company we want to build, consistently.
Our core team – we’ve been lucky enough to have a great initial team. The first 20-25 and increasingly the 100 we have now, have bought into the culture and fully believe in it.
So, for the next 100 joinees, it’s not possible for the founders to sit next to each them for 8 hours a day. However, this core team, these are the people who are empowered and will carry forward that culture and way of working, of this we are confident.
Pranay: Part of it is ensuring that the values and culture are both communicated explicitly. If and when someone goes against the core values, it’s our job to make sure it’s pointed out, looked at more consciously and affects a change in behaviour. Another very important thing is hiring.
We hire people only if they are a good culture fit. Like everyone else, we’ve made a few mistakes in the past but we’ve identified and rectified them as soon as they’ve been spotted.
Another point is that just because they don’t fit our culture doesn’t make them bad people or bad at their jobs. They may be great at their jobs but are not the right fit for this particular job on account of the culture mismatch.
Here at 91springboard, being a right culture fit is just as important as being good at your job. It’s the religion we follow here and if maintaining the right culture costs us a few great employees, it’s fine, we’re willing to take that hit.

This page is the work of David Finnigan. I’m a writer, producer and science-theatre artist from Canberra, Australia.
This wordpress blog is the home of a report I wrote following a research trip to North America, Europe and Asia over January – March 2014. The trip was funded by the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust – you can read more about it on the main page.
For more of my background, read on.
In 2006 I co-founded Boho, an interactive science-theatre company. Boho works with scientists to create interactive performances based on concepts from science fields such as Game Theory, Complex Systems, Network Theory and Earth System Sciences.
Boho presents its work in theatres, festivals, schools, museums and conferences. We’ve performed around Australia and in the UK for organisations including the Asia-Pacific Complex Systems Conference, the Battersea Arts Centre, the Brisbane Festival Under The Radar, the Sydney Powerhouse Museum, the CSIRO Discovery Laboratory, the ACT Street Theatre, and many others.
The Boho team are all non-scientists, so we create all our work in partnership with scientists and science institutes. In the last few years, we’ve worked with scientists from CSIRO, the Australian Academy of Sciences, University College London and the Stockholm Resilience Alliance.
Created in consultation with the Australian Animal Health Laboratories in Victoria, Boho’s 2013 show Word Play was about epidemiology, and tracked the outbreak of a fictional disease that spread through language. The show took place over two locations, with the audience in a lecture theatre watching the performers live-streamed across the city, and controlling the action via a purpose-built phone app.
Boho’s new show has been developed over the last three years in residence at the University College London Environment Institute. Created in partnership with three artists from Sydney ensemble Applespiel, Best Festival Ever: How To Manage A Disaster is an exploration of Systems Science and Resilience, taking place on a tabletop for a playing audience of 15-25. Using techniques drawn from boardgaming, the audience are placed in charge of programming and managing their own complex adaptive system – a music festival.
In 2012 I was awarded a Churchill Fellowship to undertake further research into the intersection between science and the performing arts. The results of that study are partly visible here, on this website.
If you’re curious about any of my practice, or Boho’s work, please check these out. The first is a presentation I did at the London LASER Art-Science night in February 2014, talking about Boho’s process and our systems science project Best Festival Ever.
The second is a presentation for TEDx Canberra, presented by my fellow Bohemes Mick Bailey and Jack Lloyd in October 2011. This provides a pretty good introduction to the company, what we’re interested in and our aesthetic.

Glaucoma is one of the most common eye diseases that can gradually damage person’s optic nerve, which provides visual information to human’s brain by means of eyes. It is the result of unusually severe strain inside your eye. This pressure can wear down your nerve tissue, which result into vision loss or sometimes, blindness. Yet if diagnosed before time, you may prevent further vision loss that might be able to occur.
The most known category of glaucoma is open-angle glaucoma, which has no signs or indications except slow vision loss. Hence, it is vital for everyone to go for frequent eye check-up to ophthalmologist, who can let you know of any problem in your vision.
On the back region of the eye, it constantly makes a clear fluid also known as aqueous humor, which fills the front area of the eye. It leaves the eye through passages in your cornea and if they are blocked, the pressure in your eye may increase.
Diabetic patients or who have high blood pressure and heart disease are like to be at more risk of developing glaucoma.
Elderly people over 60 are at increased risk of glaucoma, and the risk increases somewhat each year of age.
People of African ethnicity are considerably more expected to develop glaucoma. People of Asian ancestry are at a higher risk to having angle-closure glaucoma, and people of Japanese ancestry are at greater risk of evolving low-tension glaucoma.
You may get some types of glaucoma that runs in family history. If your parent or grandparent has ever had open-angle glaucoma, chances are you are at an increased risk of having such conditions.
If you are using corticosteroids for longer periods, it may increase your risk of producing secondary glaucoma.
Glaucoma cannot be stopped, yet it is vital to diagnose so you can begin the treatment that would prevent it from getting worse. Make an immediate appointment with your ophthalmologist. Some tests are required to find out the symptoms if one is suffering through glaucoma before it initiates vision damage. Always use best quality prescription eyeglasses to keep your eyes protected! | 2019-04-26T02:26:54 | https://www.goggles4u.com/glaucoma-care-fundamental-for-vision |
Rochas Foundation for Africa, a non governmental organisation (NGO), has disclosed its plan to offer free education to about one million African indigent children from secondary to tertiary institutions.
Briefing journalists on the year 2018 programme for the foundation, the Director General of the foundation, Mrs. Uloma Rochas-Nwosu, said the body had set out a total of nine projects. The projects she said are targeted to the needy in different parts of the nation and Africa in general.
‘’Since 17 years we have been imparting on lives , we have trained a little above 15,000. We want to give free education to one million indigent students, that is our prayer that is our dream,” she said.
While soliciting the assistance of the media to sensitise the public on the programmes aimed at helping the needy, Rochas- Nwhosu, said nine programmes which the authorities of the foundation had put in place in the year include Rochas Foundation Love Outreach, South East Conference for the Rochas Foundation Old School Association (ROFOSA), Unveiling of Rochas Foundation Magazine, Women Summit, visits to the Northern states, among others.
On the source of income, she disclosed that about 75 per cent of the income is from the principal, Governor Rochas Okorocha, including proceeds from the real estate and hotels. | 2019-04-26T08:17:35 | https://guardian.ng/news/foundation-pledges-to-offer-free-education-to-1m-indigent-students/ |

This week, the Holyoke Jr./Sr. High School participated in the Math and Science Contest at NJC. The junior high students drove up on Tuesday, April 24th and competed. The high school students went on Wednesday, April 25th. The Math and Science Contest is basically a series of tests that students take to try to win an award. There are a variety of tests that the students can take. However, students have to be nominated by either their math teacher or their science teacher to get to go. No one in the junior high placed, but they all gave it their best effort and had a great day. The high school students did very well, with Regan Van Overbeke taking 1st place in Senior Math and Julia Pagola placing 1st in Trigonometry and 2nd in Physics. A special thank you to Mrs. Clayton (science teacher) and Mr. Kramer (math teacher) for sponsoring the students and taking them up to Sterling. Great job to all students that participated. Everyone did fantastic! | 2019-04-24T18:17:38 | http://www.hcosd.org/article/47728?org=holyoke |
Donor communications, is it horses for courses? Does the same message, the same language work for all donors?
I’ve talked about donor communication before, but I’m still seeing and hearing from people about the quality, content and language being used in donor communications.
Often regular donors only want to know that what they are doing is making a difference, whereas business donors want to see their return on investment; it’s much the same, but businesses may use more “business speak” to justify support.
General donors are typically happy to know they are making a difference, so talking to them about the successes they have helped you achieve may suffice. Businesses on the other hand may want to see this as investment versus return.
Do you split the information you share, are you using the same “speak” for each, what is the reaction?
Are you even monitoring and adapting based on the feedback from those receiving your updates?
If you are monitoring and adapting, if not, why not? | 2019-04-23T17:57:28 | https://charitymattersnz.com/2015/05/06/its-not-horses-for-courses/?shared=email&msg=fail |

Over to you guys o let us know how you went this year. What you expected? Better or worse than early season form would have suggested?
Won minor GF in the SCT Cash League over Stubbsy, but lost GF in main mates league by 8 points (had won by 5 before points adjusted on R Murphy & Griffin!).
Had Pendles as C all weekend but took the safe option with Selwood’s 127. GAJ or Pendles as C would have got me over 2600 to beat Max’s highest round score for the year – such is life. It was a great cash league and well done to Fish for winning the major GF.
Funniest thing of the weekend was using the emergency loophole and deciding not to take Staker’s 37, only for Pittard to stink it up with 27!
Was sitting at 3663 overall, hopefully the 2583 score can move me higher than 3135 to get in the top 1% overall. Always happy with top 1% overall as i mainly structure team for league wins.
Had a decent year with a 2100 avg but my last few weeks have been my best in history.
Won both Grand Finals that I was in and pumped to take on next year!
Some absolute monster scores offset by some stinkers… very happy to finish up with a couple of 2400+ scores after a nightmare start to the finals series.
Won the primary league GF by 32 points after trailing by 110 with a game to go. Will Minson to the rescue! No messing about with R1 next year I feel… easy choice!
Now to see if we can squeeze all of Ablett, Pendlebury, Selwood and Griffen into the starting lineup next season and still have some cash left over!
Won the three GF’s i made it to, couldn’t be happier.
This was my first ever effort at supercoach, didn’t even know any of the rules or players two weeks before the start of the season. It turns out my starting team was too weak, but i have managed to turn it round throughout the course of the season. I won’t make the same mistake next year.
Came home strong to take out my main cash league ($400) and one other league (against same opponent. I was almost in tears last night, just about conceding defeat, but picked myself up today and went for a sneaky captain change, from Swan to GAJ which saved me.
Lost to Damien (Blue Skins) in LoEC 2. Congratulations Damien. Pleased and proud just to have made this far in such elite company. Well done guys.
I won my cricket club league minor GF (money back). But that win obviously doesn’t mean too much. It’s all about the big time.
And finally I got defeated by a whopping 2759 in another league GF that I didn’t really care too much about as I don’t know about half of the coaches in the league. But in saying that I was still expecting to win going into it and quite unhappy at the fact that I got absolutely smashed.
Only made it into two grand finals but had my best score to date and won both!
Only Shaw, Hanley, Griffen and Martin not breaking 100. Huge scores from Montagna, Ablett, Pendlebury, Bartel, Minson and Cox. And very impressed with Walker, Gibbs, Bob Murphy, Danger, Rockliff, Goldstein. And Marc Murphy who was left stranded on the bench.
The end of the year shines a ray of light on my season. Despite a lowish finish in most leagues (Only won 2 minor GFS), I’ve managed my best overall finish yet – I hope that possibly I might manage a top 10000 finish.
The step up from public leagues to LoeC and the SCT leagues was huge. Despite being thrashed mid-season week in – week out, I had great fun badly moulding my team. Perhaps no one else cares for Minor League glory – but my team managed it’s highest ever score and I grabbed the Loec1 Minor Premiership (If you’re reading this, well played Luke. 2518 is magnificent) – thanks in part to my final trade – Rioli to Minson.
Over in SCTTL, Eaglet Esquire also managed to take out the Minor GF with a score of 2500.
In the end, there were winners all over the ground (as well as a handful of losers), but overall, the shadows they cast over the ground was bathed in brilliant light.
Behind the Scenes: Jimmy Webster, Xavier Richards, Kyle Martin, Jack Osborn, Daniel Currie, Jed Lamb.
Won 3/5 Grand Finals, but most importantly won LoEC1 league v my good ole mate & ( Arch Nemesis ) Bearded Burblers by 150! Thanks for the battle as per usual Koray, I believe that makes it 3 all over the last few years buddy!
Hoping to finish in the top 100 overall….
2710 and won both cash leagues. Hopefully get into the top 1000 overall. Team definitely flew home.
Will Minson, I love you.
Snuck across the line in my SCT Cash League against Banjo. A 46 point win wasn’t looking likely when Swanny was spudding it up and Wilbur was tearing it up against me. Bartel, Danger & Goldy were my big PODs but I pretty tempted to hand the Norm Smith to my favourite young Eagle of all time – Blayne Wilson (google him). Stepping up to the plate with 95 after I got FURLed with Ibbotson was monumental. I may never pick him again but he’ll be the first invited to the premiership reunion.
Good year as always guys. I’ve been a bit quiet of late but I’ll be back on board again next year.
MJ and Yorga, how did you go this week? In our SCT cash league, MJ’s 49,736 was 296 in the lead for total cumulative points coming into this final round. With Banjo’s 2472, MJ would need > 2176 to get top spot unless Yorga who was 396 behind MJ has a cracking week.
Some huge scores this week, did anyone in our Andy B’s SCT cash league get > 2600 score to knock off Max’s highest score round?
Fantastic league fella’s. We were 44th league overall last week & i suspect we will move up this week.
2632 and won all 3 grand finals that I made comfortably. =D!
Also great finish to the year for the Saints, with 2 wins. But Steven and Montagna, 94 possessions combined, do you guys think that’s some kind of record for most disposals by 2 teammates in a single game put together? wow.
2622/Gaz, highest score for the year and won 4 out of 5 GF’s. Lost one where opponent also scored their highest for the year, 2691. Only let downs were Barlow & Burger.
SCTTL: 2218/Swan, took out the SCTTL3 GF and hopefully it was also enough to take out the overall SCTTL GF.
The BS went 2640 in his 3 GFs and was lucky enough to get up in all 3. I took the Selwood 127 to bank it and should have held out for Yablett but can’t complain. Oddly enough I still have a trade to spare after not having any players I wanted to upgrade and no late withdrawals which is what I opted to save it for. Also, like many if you this was my highest score of the year, so pretty happy with that. Finally my two recent inclusions through injuries Hibberd & Walker finally came good.
Had 4 Major GF’S and lost all 4.
My Opp scored as follow..
What did I learn? More depth required heading into finals and at least 3 trades heading into Prelims. 30 trades is appealing at the start of the season, but using my last trade heading into my prelim is where I lost it. Should have held onto Dangerfield and Watson. Extra byes approaching the SC finals next season could help with players not being rested during SC finals campaign.
Anyone know what the requirements are for a birth in the LoEC Leagues? Been very very keen for the last 2 yrs to test myself against the very best.
Netted 3 out of 3 grand finals with a few hundred dollars in cash league as well, very happy! Spewing lost by a few points last week in big cash league as would have won it easy today.
Huge scores from so many players only let downs were Maric and maybe Mckenzie. Risked playing Dwyer over couch’s 60 and he returned the favour, also did the same with Aaron black in forward line. Left the vc selwood score to avoid losing lead position.
SC open but no change to the Super Round score. There’s at least two scores on here that beat it. Anyone know what’s going on there?
I’ve really enjoyed my first year of SC and I’d like to thank the guys that run SCT, the articles and information here has helped me heaps, Cheers guys.
Studs – Selwood, Cox, Bartel, GAJ, Gibbs, Hibberd, Pendles, Walker, Goldstein and a big thanks to Crouch who I stuck with all year for pumping out a 122 in the absence of Fyfe. Proved to be the difference.
Duds – Staker , JJK, Barlow and Ross Lyon.
Finished the year in 4878th place after a terrible start, not knowing what I was doing burned heaps of trades correcting my initial mistakes and was out of trades by round 19. Averaged 2190.57 per round and can’t wait for SC 2014 with a bit more of an idea and planning for my starting team.
Firstly I just want to thank everybody who makes this such a fantastic site and port o call for us SCers. Great seeing some of the scores and overall finishes. Whilst I’m not elite by any stretch I’m happy with my 6208 overall cause without this site it would have been 62208. I lost my major GF today only my 3rd loss with 2573 ironically my highest score of the year going down to my best friend which will be painful. 😉 knocked out a flag in my other league and can’t wait for 2014. Thanks all again.
2635 swan. Won 4 of 5 grand finals. Finished 1068 overall. Best season yet by far. Could of been 5 From five but changed captain to swan in a defensive move in one league that cost me in another. Think I had 14 players score higher than swan. Fyfe to montagna with my last trade paid off, just wish I had vc’d him as well.
Thanks to all the regular SCT contributors and see you all in 2014!
For such a round with so many monster scores, obviously not enough. Biggest mistake of course was my decision to bypass Ablett or Pendles for captain. But even with that, still would’ve lost my 3 GFs. Had a permanent donut in my backline over the last 3 weeks so to make 3GFs needed alot of luck……and that ran out this week. Still had heaps of fun with SC and this forum. Thanks for a great year and see you in SC Finals!
Don’t usually put up my score but it’s my best,2756pts, good enough to win SCT1. I’m more happy with overall ranking of 534 which I didn’t think i’d get after making some bad choices. Only my second full year of supercoach, 513 ranking last year.I suppose i’m like a lot of others on this site that would like a Guernsey to LoEC League if a spot comes available.Enjoyed being on the site this year and now its time to get our Supercoach Final sides worked out.
I’m part of the screwed by ross lyon crew.
Copped a donut from ibbotson in the back and a donut from fyfe in the mid.
Lost by 200 points. Oh well, will manage my trades and bench cover better next year!
After sitting out the 2012 SuperCoach season due to having a life and cheering the Crows to within a kick of the Grand Final, I returned to the fold and with the rolling lockout introduced I’m not sure if my Saturdays or the Crows suffered more.
Struggled in the first half of the year but with strong trading around the byes I worked my way into the top 1000 and took a trading plan into the second half of the year which would see me only trade in POD’s I cracked the top 100 at after round 19 and managed to hold on and finish in 97th for the year. Best year of my career smashing my previous PB of 952nd and surpassing all expectations for my first year back in the game.
Don’t want to encourage anyone to take a gap year as it’s just too damn fun but a year off did me a world of good dropping all my affections with previous guns and starting afresh! Now to hold onto my number one position in EPL in the SuperCoach offseason and come back even stronger next year, just like the Crows.
Lowest rankings finish in four years at 1,544 and didn’t take out any premierships (except in the league with my mates who don’t really know what’s going on), but ranked in the top .5% isn’t that bad!
Three top 20 ranked leagues is nice too (6th, 7th and 16th), I love the competition.
Massive congrats to Catta for taking out LoEC1 this year and kudos to the whole league for finishing 7th overall. Little shattered to have finished 4th in total points but last on the ladder, but them’s the breaks!
Looking forward to SC Finals comp and continuing 2014 preparation!
Extremely happy to have won my the GF (no thanks to Ross Lyon) with having both Fyfe and Mundy not playing leading to 1 donut with T Mitchell and JJK on the field!!
Best season for overall I have had yet no grand final wins. Lost 4 prelims last week and then lost a grand final this week by 10 points.
Lost in my cash league prelim last week, going into the last game with a 152 point lead vs Minson.
In the grand final this week, Griffen+52 vs Minson and again Minson killed me. | 2019-04-21T00:23:27 | http://supercoachtalk.com/winners-and-losers/?replytocom=530591 |

VAT headache for DM service providers to financial services clients?
The EU is currently mulling the narrowing of the VAT exemption granted to Europe’s financial services sector in 1977. How could this possibly affect providers of DM services to the sector?
Earlier in the summer of 2006 the European Commission invited comment on a consultation paper it had produced on the reform of the VAT system for financial services. Services in this sector have been exempt since the 6th directive was introduced in 1977. Since that date the financial services sector has grown significantly and the scope of the financial services exemption in many ways does not reflect the breadth of the sector which exists today. The proposals for change have been prompted in part by the large number of cases taken to the European Court in this area and also a complaint that the rules are encouraging financial services businesses to offshore. Any change would of course have an impact on suppliers of services to that sector (for example, in marketing, data processing and other outsourced services ).
Currently, services provided by suppliers to the sector who act as "intermediaries" with end-customers would be exempt, whereas pure marketing and promotional services would be taxable. The distinction can be a fine one, but essentially a service provider needs to act as a facilitator in the arrangements between the finance/insurance provider and the end-customer, to act as an intermediary.
The alternatives set out in the Consultation Paper were as follows.
The types of financial services treated as exempt could be extended. The effect of this is that businesses which already provide taxable services to the sector could end up no longer accounting for VAT, thereby making their services appear cheaper to their clients. However, it also means that VAT incurred by such businesses on their own overheads would not be recoverable, increasing the costs for that business. Attempts to pass this cost on may appear uncompetitive, particularly when compared with offshore suppliers. However, it could also provide opportunities for the further outsourcing of activities currently undertaken within financial organisations, as the VAT cost would no longer be a bar to considering such outsourcing.
This would have the effect of supplies within the financial sector carrying no VAT, but the providers being able to recover VAT charged to them. While this would enhance competitiveness of providers within the EU, the probability of it being implemented are low, due to the loss of revenue by the national governments.
This would introduce a level of flexibility, allowing suppliers to charge VAT and recover a greater proportion of their VAT on overheads. However, this could still impact on the competitiveness of certain businesses particularly when compared with offshore providers.
Due to the potential complexity in administering this area (eg. service providers running dual systems and also having to consider notification of other tax authorities regarding clients in other member states), this system could prove to be more burdensome that straight changes in the VAT treatment outlined above.
Probably the most straightforward proposal would be for finance providers to be given an allowance of a certain amount of input VAT which can be recovered. All such providers, and the outsourced suppliers to such providers, would therefore be given a level playing field on which to operate. This would essentially leave the finance provider as if the outsourced activity had been conducted in house and therefore would not lead to the prejudice of outsourced suppliers to the finance industry. Of course, differences in rates around the EU could give rise to discrepancies in recovery.
While the suggestions do have merit in terms of dealing with the growing complexity of the financial services sector, they are not without their own dangers and will be complicated to implement. The Commission is due to report on this sector by the end of 2006/beginning of 2007. The impact that any changes would have on providers of marketing services to the sector will become clearer once the concrete proposals are published. | 2019-04-24T08:07:01 | https://marketinglaw.osborneclarke.com/advertising-regulation/vat-headache-for-dm-service-providers-to-financial-services-clients/ |
Deadpool Assassin #6 review: A fitting ending for a strong mini series – AiPT!
Deadpool: Assassin concludes this week with yet another fun, funny, and exciting issue.
Even before 2016’s Deadpool shattered box office records and slung the crimson criminal to super stardom, Marvel has always seemingly done everything possible to pump out as much Deadpool content as humanly possible- for better and for worse. This leads to over-saturation, confusing continuity, and a dilution of the brand. More often than not, the auxiliary Deadpool books paled in comparison to the ongoing main title, feeling unnecessary and utterly forgetful. Luckily for writer Cullen Bunn and writer Mark Bagley, this is definitely not the case for Deadpool Assassin– in fact, this series blows the current Deadpool series out of the water. All good things must come to an end though, and Deadpool Assassin #6 concludes the series in a way that exemplifies everything this series has been- bloody, fun, and hysterical.
Deadpool Assassin #6 is not groundbreaking nor breathtaking, but it’s an engaging, well-paced, and hilarious read throughout. As has been the case with the entire series, Cullen Bunn and Mark Bagley work so well together to present the story. The dialogue is as irreverent and comical as Deadpool dialogue should be, and the visual are crisp, clean, and perfect for a Deadpool story.
This issue is probably the least funny of the miniseries, but that’s not a bad thing when every issue has been laugh out loud funny throughout. It’s like being the dumbest kid at Harvard- sure, you’re not the best, but you’re still better than almost everyone else. Wade’s constant quips and extremely obscure references had me giggling damn near every page. The humor is perfect for a Wade Wilson adventure too, changing from irreverent fourth wall breaks to non-sensical back and forths with super-villains that point out just how absurd the story’s conclusion is.
And, believe me, it’s pretty absurd- and by absurd, I mean dark as all hell. It involves feeding the soul of an unborn child in order to sustain the life of a demonic mutant-baby who feeds on death. Oh, and the aforemention unborn child, belongs to DP’s best friend/arms-dealer Weasel, who died in Deadpool’s arms. So yeah, it’s pretty goddamn dark. That being said, I was too busy laughing at Deadpool’s jokes to notice how f----d up the story was. It was only after a second reading that I realized there was sinister story at play underneath the mercenary hijinks. In a weird way, it’s a testament to Bunn’s ability to craft witty dialogue that the heavy subject matter of the story doesn’t bog the reader down.
One big complaint I did have, however, is how casual Weasel’s death feels. It was a dramatic moment in #5 when Weasel was fatally wounded, yet in this conclusion it feels completely glossed over. I understand that Weasel is a largely obscure character in the greater Marvel Universe, but I’d expect Deadpool to be a lot more torn up out about the unexpected death of his best friend than what plays out in this issue. Deadpool just shrugs off Weasel’s death and it just doesn’t feel right.
I am sad to see Deadpool Assassin go- I’d genuinely hoped Marvel would extend this to a maxi-series or even make it an ongoing run. Cullen Bunn flexed his mastery over the Merc with a Mouth throughout this series and I really hope he writes another Deadpool story again in the near future. Regardless, Deadpool Assassin #6 is a strong and fitting end for a series that was everything a Deadpool story should be- violent, funny, and a great f----n’ time.
Deadpool Assassin #6 closes this series out with an issue that exemplifies why this series was so enjoyable all along. It's an exciting, action-packed, and hilarious Deadpool adventure that is surprisingly and unexpectedly dark.
Cullen Bunn really knows how to write witty, irreverent dialogue that fits Deadpool perfectly. Readers will at the very least giggle on every page.
The art is crisp, clean, and gorgeous throughout.
The story is surprisingly and subtly dark, but not so much that it over powers the comedic dialogue.
This book is definitely funny, but it's the least funny issue of the series. | 2019-04-22T12:00:09 | http://www.adventuresinpoortaste.com/2018/08/29/deadpool-assassin-6-review-a-fitting-ending-for-a-strong-mini-series/ |

In this Software video tutorial you will learn how to resize a custom image using Adobe Photoshop CS4. Select your image. Click on ‘image’ tab and select ‘image size’ from the dropdown menu. In the ‘image size’ box you can change the height and width pixels. But, if you check the box ‘constrain proportions’, then when you change one pixel dimension, the other will automatically change. Similarly, for resizing drop shadows proportionately, check the ‘scale styles’ box. The other selection is the document size. For a web image, this document size doesn’t mean anything. Only settings that are necessary are the pixel dimensions. But, you can change the document size if you are printing the image. Watch the video for further tips. | 2019-04-25T20:45:14 | https://photoshop-tutorials.wonderhowto.com/how-to/resize-custom-image-using-adobe-photoshop-cs4-354237/ |

Have you ever wondered how many different types of electrical sockets/plugs are in use in the world? According to the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), an international standards organization, there are 14 plug-and-socket systems in operation throughout the world. Some of these are compatible with each other and hence in some countries more than one type is used. Similarly numerous national standards for voltage and frequency exist.
When traveling to a foreign country, you may be confronted with the problem of trying to plug your razor or mobile device charger into a socket with an unsuitable configuration - like pounding a square peg into a round hole.
With this problem in mind, the IEC created a plug and socket map that is both informative and practical. It explains why things are as they are today and how they might be improved. It also provides information on the plugs, sockets and voltage used around the world, along with illustrations of the various plugs and sockets available.
Click on the link below to access the interactive world plugs & sockets map.
Here's another map by Mark Lakata, that was first published in National Geographic.
The ‘American’ model (yellow), consisting of two vertical rectangular openings, side by side.
The ‘subcontinental’ model (dark green), a triangle of circular openings.
The ‘antipodean’ model (light blue), made up of three rectangles arranged to look like the mask from the Scream movies, is used in only four countries, all in the Southern Hemisphere: Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea.
The ‘imperial’ model (dark blue), two flat rectangles below, one upright on top, quite clearly is a remnant of the British Empire, as it is used not only in the UK and Ireland, but also in that swathe of Africa with which Cecil Rhodes had once sought to connect ‘the Cape and Cairo’.
The ‘European’ model (light green), which looks a bit like Wall-E.
I assume you have heard about "Boxing Day". If not, then head to the Wikipedia link at the bottom of this post. If you have heard then I guess you also know that traditionally the day after Christmas, 26th December is celebrated as Boxing Day. However, do you know why it is known so and when it all started? In case you do know, then kindly enlighten us on the history and origin of Boxing Day, in the comments section.
There is still uncertainty around the origins of Boxing Day. However, one fact is certain - it falls on December 26th which is also St. Stephen's Day, a religious holiday in some countries.
Despite its name, Boxing Day has nothing to do with pugilistic competition. It is not related the sport and the day is not celebrated as a popular day to hold boxing matches.
It is also NOT a day for people to return unwanted Christmas presents.
Boxing Day is customarily celebrated in England, as well as in several Commonwealth colonies such as Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
Boxing Day originated about 800 years back in the middle ages. It has been a national holiday in England, Wales, Ireland and Canada since 1871.
Some historians say the holiday developed because servants were required to work on Christmas Day, but took the following day off. As servants prepared to leave to visit their families, their employers would present them with gift boxes.
Another theory is that the boxes placed in churches where parishioners deposited monetary donations for the poor were opened and the contents distributed among the poor on 26th of December.
One more school of thought is that the day after Christmas was also the traditional day on which the aristocracy distributed presents (boxes) to servants and employees — a sort of institutionalized Christmas-bonus party. The servants returned home, opened their boxes and had a second Christmas on what became known as Boxing Day.
The Irish still refer to the holiday as St. Stephen's Day, and they have their own tradition called hunting the wren, in which boys fasten a fake wren to a pole and parade it through town. Also known as Wren Day, the tradition supposedly dates to 1601, to the Battle of Kinsale, in which the Irish tried to sneak up on the English invaders but were betrayed by the song of an overly vocal wren — although this legend's veracity is also highly debated.
Cyber Boxing Day: In 2009, many retailers with both online and High Street stores launched their online sales on Christmas Eve and their High Street sales on Boxing Day. This was derived from the American holiday, the cyber Monday.
Just as Americans watch football on Thanksgiving, the Brits have Boxing Day soccer matches and horse races.
So, there you go ... let us know your thoughts.
The historic moment today at exactly 12 minutes and 12 seconds past 12noon is the last repeating date and time for the 21st century. Meaning all numericals in a date at a particular time are the same (12/12/12 - 12:12:12). The next time this will happen is in about 88 years on January 1, 2101, or 01-01-01.
After couple of attempts, one of us geeks at the Fundoo Geek! was able to capture the screen shot as it happened on the web site timeanddate.com.
“Rrrrrriiiiiiip!” That is the sound of a lucky child frantically shredding my green and blue box with a shiny purple ribbon. Even though my box is comfortable, I am desperate to meet my new owner.
”I would be a perfect present,” I said confidently; thinking of all the hundreds of apps my owner could download on me. I have a smooth, shiny screen, not too big, but not too small with a nice grip on the back. The kid will be able to listen to music on me and search the web.
“Rrriiiip! Rrriiiip” As the ripping got closer, I got more excited. When the child finally reached me I heard a loud “Aaaaaaaaahh!” Two soft, sturdy hands lifted me. “A new Samsung Galaxy Tab 2!” The boy yelled.
Then the boy, Shiamak, turned me on for the first time!
“Crunch! Munch!” That is the sound of me chomping and demolishing my cookie as crumbs rained onto the desk. I’m going to tell you how to make the same colorful, chewy cookie. It will taste as delicious as candy and chocolate!
First, smear white icing on the smooth cookie surface.
Second, carefully dot green icing around the circumference and a dot of pink icing in the center. Initially randomly sprinkle red and green sugar crystals. Then carelessly scatter coconut shavings.
After that, place seven red hots wherever you'd like.
Next, drop creamy chocolate and butterscotch chips.
If you’d like, you can repeat any of the numbers. “Chomp Chomp!” My favorite part. Sit back, relax and demolish your perfect cookie.
“Dinners ready!” I heard my mom yell. I dropped my book on my bed and rushed down stairs, my mouth watering like crazy.
When I got off the steps a sweet aroma hit my nose. As I looked around, I saw my relatives devouring piles and piles of savory food. While picking up a cool, metal spoon I sat in my chair. Using the spoon, I scooped a bite of moist, creamy mashed potatoes.
My mom pulled out a sizzling turkey from the oven while another one kept cooking. My mouth was watering like I swallowed a river. The turkey felt rough on the outside but was soft and tender on the inside.
After a serving of turkey, I stuffed a fist full of sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce into my mouth. The sweet potatoes were buttery and soft, while the cranberry sauce tasted sweet and tangy.
I could already tell that this was going to be a Thanksgiving memory I would never forget!

Check out this curious 25-second time-lapse/composite video that shows every airplane that landed at San Diego International Airport on Black Friday a week ago between 10:30am and 3pm. The giant planes whiz by overhead as if they’re part of a fighter jet squadron heading off to battle — not something you’d expect to see with commercial planes at an airport. It was created by photography and film professor Cy Kuckenbaker.
Martin of Cargospotter created this mesmerizing time-lapse video showing the constant stream of airplanes that land on a particular runway at London’s Heathrow airport, the third busiest airport in the world in terms of passengers. The still photographs he captured are played back 17-times faster than real-time, causing the planes to look like RC airplanes floating around and bobbing in the breeze.

Graphic designer Alexander Koshelkov created this amazing time-lapse video showing how he created an epic plane crash image in Photoshop using elements found in other photographs (e.g. freeways, an airplane, destroyed engines and cars). The project took Koshelkov nearly 4.5 hours and required 244 separate layers.
A new video from Indian low cost carrier SpiceJet takes viewers inside a Canadian factory where one of its new Bombardier Q400 passenger planes is assembled, making for a fascinating inside look at the complicated manufacturing ballet.
The carrier, which recently added the turboprop to its fleet, plans to link smaller cities in India with the 78-passenger plane.
The video explores many of the complicated steps that go into building a passenger plane, from assembling the fuselage to adding wings, from testing cockpit systems to adding fully finished leather-upholstered seats two at a time. A time-lapse scene of crews painting on the SpiceJet livery is particularly cool.
This video, made from time-lapse photographs taken from the International Space Station's (ISS) Cupola observatory module, takes us around the world from Africa to the Mediterranean Sea, North America to South America and Europe to the Middle East, among more than a dozen other journeys. It passes over Hurricanes Katia and Irene and catches a number of lightning bolts in its lens as well.
Happy Deepavali to all our Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Buddhist and other friends around the globe and other planets!
May this Diwali bring everlasting peace on our planet!

The Daylight Saving (not Savings) Time (DST) in the United States of America started on Sunday, March 11, 2012 at 2:00am, and will end on Sunday, November 4, 2012 at 2:00am. The DST is observed in every state in the USA except Arizona and Hawaii.
The easiest way to remember which way to adjust your clock during these 2 annual events is "Spring Forward! Fall Back!!". Move the clock forward by one hour in Spring (when the DST begins) and move it back in Fall (when DST ends).
So, tomorrow at 2am local time you need to move your clock back by one hour. This gives you the opportunity to catch up on that much needed sleep. An extra hour of sleep is always welcome, right!
The flip side to this is that you'll lose an hour of light. Starting tomorrow it will get dark early by one hour until Spring of-course, when you gain an hour of light but lose an hour of sleep. Confused?
Check out some Interesting Facts About The Daylight Saving Time. | 2019-04-23T20:10:30 | http://www.fundoogeek.com/2012/ |
Compared to established companies, startups often have to play by different rules. They are just starting their journeys into the business world and face additional challenges to conquer early on.
One of the biggest challenges is marketing. Because startups have little to no brand recognition and often offer a niche product or service which might be difficult to explain to outsiders, a foray into marketing has to be carefully considered. Whereas other companies may make use of tried-and-true techniques, startups have to be more creative in order to succeed. | 2019-04-18T15:14:20 | https://www.digitalinformationworld.com/2017/12/how-to-introduce-your-brand-new-company.html |

Aizawl, Nov 13 : Boomarang is set to rock Hanoi (Vietnam) on the night of November 17 at the India Festival organised by the Indian Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (INCHAM). The concert by the rock band from Mizoram will take place exactly at 9:00 PM at the American Club, 19-21, Hai Ba Trung Street, Hanoi.
Besides the concert, the band will officially launched its debut album titled BOOMARANG, which will be released by His Excellency Ranjit Rae, Ambassador of India to Vietnam. The event has been widely announced by various Vietnam newspapers and websites. The expectation is high in Hanoi as Boomarang has established itself as one of the best rock bands in India, recently performed with the American band Korn in Gurgaon, India.
Boomarang will perform most of the songs from its debut album. “Music is universal, but with our genre of 'junk rock' it will be like testing new waters in Hanoi. I am sure we will relate our music to everyone. We are just excited”, Boom, guitarist of the band said.
Boomarang is sure to raise Hanoi's temperature high with its maiden foreign gig and its debut album that that will be released outside its home state and the country. “We are toasting the frontiers that music does not have. We just wanted to take everything against the limit of boundary, which is why Boomarang's debut album is set to be released in Hanoi. Music is a revolution and we are exactly representing that”, Award winning Journalist, researcher and writer, David Buhril, also Boomarang's manager for Hanoi said.
“The songs that we will be performing in Hanoi, which are very much part of the album, are like our first offspring. They are inevitably about us and strongly represents our musical identity. It will be a revelation to the bigger world about who we are and what we are”, Atea, vocalist of Boomarang said.
Boomarang's trip to Hanoi will be without its original bassist, Joshua, as he is heavily engaged and has to carry out responsibilities for his brother's wedding that coincidentally clashed with Hanoi's date. Laltlankima Thangluah (Valpuia) will take the place of Joshua for the Hanoi tour.
Besides the gig, giant music promoters from Vietnam has been looking forward to witness Boomarang's performance. “Its unoffcial still, but we will be knocking the doors to crack South-East Asia with the Hanoi tour. We are trying to go much ahead of the big talk of 'Look East Policy' with our music”, David Buhril said as he crossed his fingers.
David Buhril, Boomarang's manager for Hanoi, thanked John Ruolngul, First Secretary, Embasy of India for all his endeavours, INCHAM, and Pu Lal Thanhawla, Chief Minister of Mizoram for extending all supports for the trip. The band is also grateful to all its fans, families for all the support. Boomarang will be leaving Aizawl on November 15 for Hanoi. | 2019-04-26T16:19:13 | http://www.sinlung.com/2012/11/boomarang-to-rock-hanoi.html |

Summer time has a flickering glimmer of the tropics when the oriental lilies start to bloom in the garden. Their presence adds an exotic tropical appearance to the garden, while their scent drenches the air . I soon am under their spell when I breathe in their intoxicating fragrance on a late warm afternoon, as I recline in the shade. I am soon off dreaming of white sand beaches and palm trees, as I hear the sound of bees humming nearby.
I started growing lilies quite by accident many years ago. I transplanted an Easter Lily potted plant early in May. It died back to the ground soon after that, and I thought nothing more about it. September of the same year it sprang out of the ground, giving a show of three trumpet blooms. The following year in June it bloomed again and so did my interest in the Lilium family. That summer I photographed a wedding in a private garden which was thickly planted with oriental lilies in full bloom. It was the first time I'd ever noticed a lily growing in the ground besides my lonely Easter lily. I asked the mother of the bride about her lilies, and she filled my head up with growing lilies in my garden. Soon after I made my first purchase of bulbs—oriental and trumpet lilies.
Of all the bulbs available to gardeners, the most outstanding bulb, in my opinion is the Lily—particularly the Oriental Lily. Without question the flowers of the Lilium genus are some of the most beautiful. A gardener can choose many varieties to grace the garden. They have an exotic look to them and most will fill a garden with heavenly fragrance.
When purchasing lily bulbs keep in mind they never go completely dormant, so getting them promptly in the ground is a necessity. Lilies like a fertile, humus rich, well-drained soil that is slightly on the acidic side. In the Pacific Northwest they do well in full sun or light shade during the hottest part of the day. Lilies like their roots kept cool so a good mulch or ground covers to shade the soil is a good idea. One way I have planted them was at the base of a weigelia shrub. When the shrub flowered in May the branches would weep from the flower's weight. Later as the lilies came up through the branches, the branches supported the taller lilies while shading their bases.
Plant the bulbs six to ten inches deep depending on their size. A good rule of thumb is plant to a depth of 3 times the bulb height. Water them in well. Apply a thick mulch of compost over the top both at planting time and annually every year after that.
I deadhead my lilies after the flowers fade. When I cut stems for flowers in the house, I leave a good amount of stalk remaining on plant. This insures the foliage will feed the bulb for next year's flowers. I leave the stalk until fall before pulling it off the bulb. After fall clean up I give the plant a good mulch. The following spring I keep an eye out for slugs since they like to nibble on the new growth. The first year in the garden, I have noted, lilies seem most susceptible to slugs, especially if spring planted.
Improper drainage is usually the reason lilies fail in the garden. My lilies are normally planted in raised beds to accomplish good drainage. If the bulbs are spring planted they won't flower as well the first year, but the following year should give maximum bloom. I prefer planting mine in the fall, but sometimes I will plant in spring when a beautiful lily catches my eye.
You can buy lilies already blooming in a pot, but it will cost more than buying just the bulb. The advantage to this is you can see what your lily will look like in bloom. You can let it finish flowering and then transplant it to the garden. Also you can hide the pot when it finishes flowering (remember to water it) and transplant in the fall. Around Mother's Day you can find them in florists' shops and nurseries. I think they make beautiful gifts for mothers that will bloom again for many years.
Lilies are fairly easy to start from seed, but since the Orientals are hybrids they won't come true from seed. Propagate lilies by removing scales from the bulb after the foliage dies down and replant them. I like to grow mine in a nursery bed of their own for a few years until they reach blooming size. This is an inexpensive way to increase your stock of lilies. Every three to five years lift the bulbs and separate the bulblets from the main bulb for replanting.
Oriental Lilies are superb as a cut flower. A single stalk in a vase, with its 6 to 8 flowers or more, is beautiful in its own right. The flowers last for a long time. Cut the stalk after the first flower starts to open but while the others remain in bud. Place in water for a day and the next day recut the stem and put in a vase. Cut the stem and renew water daily, and slowly each of the buds will open. You can throw away the canned air fresheners because one flower stalk will scent a room wonderfully. One thing I do is remove the pollen from the end of the anthers as each bud opens. If you don't don't do this it will eventually fall and possibly stain your table linens. If you do get it on your clothes or linens don't wipe the pollen right away. Wait until the pollen dries thoroughly then brush it away. If you wipe it off while it is still wet it will stain. | 2019-04-21T13:27:11 | http://rainyside.com/archives/oriental_lily.html |

Since 1927, we have prided ourselves on being innovators. From being the first master bootmakers to use a zipper on a rubber boot, to developing our own LCX technologies, we have not stopped developing methods, processes and technology that sets us apart from others. Our heritage is steeped in innovation and technology and so is our future.
Natural rubber has high elasticity, is highly resilient and naturally extremely waterproof. Natural rubber is harvested in the form of latex from the rubber tree. The latex is coagulated to create lumps of natural rubber that goes through a series of processing stages, with the end result being the supple rubber that goes into every pair of our natural rubber boots.
Nubuck is a leather that has been sanded or buffed on the outside to produce a velvet-like surface, while still maintaining the characteristics of the top-grain cattle leather. The Nubuck that we use is waterproofed in the tanning process and Nubuck as a material, is naturally resilient and extremely hard-wearing.
Neoprene is a flexible, water-resistant material that can handle a variety of temperatures, which makes it perfect for all weather conditions. The fabric contains mirco bubbles that prevents dissipation of heat, providing excellent thermal insulation, elasticity and resilience. Our Neoprene comes in a thickness of 3 mm or 5 mm.
Our stretchy jersey lining is made from 65% polyester and 35% cotton. Jersey combined with rubber provides the perfect comfort and fit as it moulds around the foot. A jersey lined boot is perfect for the warmer months.
Our 100% natural soft wool lining is perfect for the cold winter months, providing thermal insulation to keep the feet warm in all outdoor activities and pursuits in the cool weather. Wool provides long-lasting comfort and warmth.
The origins of a Le Chameau boot begins with the design and sourcing of our material. We pick only the finest ingredients; our natural rubber, our leathers and our neoprene linings are all of the highest quality. Our design teams explore new technologies. These, combined with our archives, ensure we continue to innovate while retaining timeless shapes and proven methods.
We have a secret recipe to make each pair of rubber boots unique. This has been developed over more than 90 years of experience and expertise, and is what characterises our supple rubber so significantly.
Once all the elements have been gathered, all the individual rubber pieces have been hand-cut and trimmed, the sole moulded and the linings cut and ready; the Maitre Bottier is ready to carefully assemble a Le Chameau boot.
Every Le Chameau boot is constructed by one Maître Bottier. In order to become a Maître Bottier it takes 9 months of training before they are ready to construct their first Le Chameau boot. The Maître Bottier carefully stretches the rubber pieces over the aluminium boot last, gradually forming the famous Le Chameau shape. Once the shape has been created, it’s time to add the trims and small details that give the Le Chameau boot it's premium quality. Once the boot has been constructed, it is ready for the final part of the process.
The final process of creating the Le Chameau boot is the vulcanisation process. This is the ‘cooking’ of the rubber boot at the optimum temperature for the correct amount of time, until it becomes flexible and durable. Each style of boot requires different temperatures and timings, ensuring that each boot is of our Le Chameau standard. Once the boot has cooled, each boot is tested in water to ensure it is fully waterproof. Before the boots leave our workshop, they go through one final quality control check, a final polish and are then wrapped and boxed ready to make their way to their new owner.
Once our natural rubber has gone through the vulcanisation process, it is then carefully placed onto our aluminium lasts to 'cook' for 90 minutes at 140°. The final result; ensuring each rubber boot is finished to the highest Le Chameau standard.
Calf size is an important detail when it comes to choosing the perfect fit. Our research and development team took the average sizing and developed the Le Chameau calf sizing system. Our iconic Chasseur and Saint-Hubert come in a variety of calf sizes.
Shank reinforcement provides a rigid and stable sole which allows for greater movement and improved comfort, especially on rough terrain. The shank allows energy to transfer from the heel to the toes, helping to prevent muscle fatigue.
LCX Technology has been specially developed by our product development team at Le Chameau. LCX is a complex five-layer technical construction consisting of an external material, protective film, a membrane, functional non-woven fabric and an inside lining. Combining these five technical materials ensures that the boot remains insulated, breathable and waterproof.
Our Realtree Max-4 camo pattern is printed in high definition, ensuring that it captures the real-life intricate details of nature from which it takes its inspiration. The realistic finish of the Realtree Max-4 camo will allow you to seamlessly blend into your surroundings.
Our gussets are all waterproof and are tested at each stage of production to ensure our rubber boots are 100% waterproof. The gusset is accompanied by a tightening strap to allow you to adjust the fit of the boot around your calf, to ensure the most comfortable fit for all outdoor pursuits.
Rubber conceived and designed for the sea, specially formulated to prevent salt water abrasion. This rubber is salt water resistant, meaning that it maximizes duration in the water and helps to ensure longevity of the boot.
We have developed a specially formulated rubber for our agricultural range. This rubber has been refined to provide protection from the harsh farm wastes and chemicals associated with agricultural activities, in order to prevent a manure chemical reaction and abrasion.
For over a century Michelin has taken pride in developing reliable, high performance tyres for all types of vehicles across the world, exercising experience to deliver quality and drive innovation. Today, Michelin has taken this expertise in rubber compounds, grip and durability off-road to create the next breed of technical soles for outdoor sports footwear.
Kevlar was developed in 1965 by DuPont. It is used to make a variety of clothing and accessories and is often associated with body armour, due to it being cut resistant and extraordinarily strong. Kevlar is five times stronger than steel and yet remains lightweight. Our Chameau-Lite collection is the first boot to combine our LCX technology with Kevlar to produce a truly highly durable, ultra-lightweight, flexible and comfortable all-terrain boot.
Vibram was founded in 1937 in Italy by Vitale Bramani, producing rubber soles initially to replace leather soles on mountaineering boots. Vibram has a rich history of innovation and a reputation for its durability and strength. The Vibram soles we use on our Le Chameau boots are exclusive to us. | 2019-04-20T17:02:43 | https://www.lechameau.com/us/heritage |
A 3-year-old boy from New York is living without a cerebellum – the part of the brain responsible for motor control, balance, coordination and emotional control.
Chase Britton’s doctors are bewildered by his condition – but even more puzzling – is the fact that his mother says she has ultrasound pictures that show it was there at some point during her pregnancy, wgrz.com reported.
"That is actually a fundamental part of the dilemma," said Dr. Adre du Plessis, chief of Fetal and Transitional Medicine at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. "If there was a cerebellum, what happened to it?"
Chase is also legally blind and missing his pons, which is the part of the brain stem that controls functions like sleeping and breathing.
Doctors are not sure if Chase’s case is the end result of a fetal injury or a genetic abnormality.
The Brittons, who have an older son, Alex, had another son, Trey, who died four weeks after he was born in 2006. But doctors assured them Trey’s condition was not genetic, and they were safe to try again.
"We knew this is what we wanted to do," said Chase’s mother, Heather Britton. "And they said flukes don't happen twice."
"We knew he was developing a little slower, we thought it was because of the pregnancy," she said.
Chase’s parents aren’t sure if he will ever be able to live without assistance. Right now, his vocabulary is limited, but he continues to accomplish more each day – like potty training and learning how to use an iPad.

If you are a Landlord of an Assured Shorthold tenancy and agree to end the tenancy early (for example if the tenant can no longer afford the rent) our advice is to always use a DEED OF SURRENDER to do so. The deed should have everything that is agreed to in it and be signed and witnessed by both parties.
and any other terms appropriate.
The use of a Deed of Surrender will be invaluable should the terms of surrender be disputed at a later date. | 2019-04-25T14:10:49 | https://www.woodward.co.uk/news/deed-of-surrender.html |

Last April, SanDisk® joined the Linux Foundation as a supporter and enabler of the Open Source ecosystem. Many people who I’ve met with have asked me what is SanDisk going to do with Open Source technology? And why is SanDisk interested?
For anyone following Open Source technology, this week has been a week of big industry news. Microsoft, a company who has historically been seen as opposed to open source, announced that they are open sourcing .NET, a framework used by millions of developers. For the first time Microsoft is enabling cross platform development so that developers can build .NET applications that run on Linux or Mac OS.
We are living in times where technology is evolving rapidly. Whether mobile, the cloud, or Internet of Things, Open Source software is leading the way and changing our world. Open Source technology enables collaborative ecosystems that are leading much of the innovation we see today across diverse industries. Be it financial, healthcare or even the auto industry, companies are realizing that Open Source is a strategic tool that can deliver better customer value while reducing their costs of research and development.
In the words of S. “Soma” Somasegar, Microsoft’s corporate vice president of the Developer Division at Microsoft Corporation, the move to Open Source is a “fundamental realization of where the world is”. And I couldn’t agree more. So it’s no wonder that as a world-class supplier of flash memory and storage solutions, SanDisk recognized the emerging Open Source ecosystem that is around us, the need to increase our involvement in this community and for our flash solutions to work with Open Source software and Open Source standards. SanDisk intends to realize the full value of the open source collaboration model to create innovative and differentiated products, while building and enabling expanded ecosystems. Consumption, contribution, collaboration and communication with the community are key in helping us achieve these goals.
Our Journey to Open Source – Ask Your Questions!
Next week I’ll have the opportunity to share more about the SanDisk journey to Open Source Software (OSS) and the role of OSS in flash for mobile, consumer, client computing, data centers and the cloud.
Join me in a SanDisk Google Hangout on Tuesday, November 18, 2014 at 9:00PT for my presentation Open @ SanDisk. We’ll leave plenty of time for Q&A so you’ll have an opportunity to participate in the conversation. You can find more info on the hangout page and start the conversation with me on Twitter at @NithyaRuff.
Nithya has been in the open source business since 1999 and brings best in class open source ideas. | 2019-04-21T05:19:34 | https://blog.westerndigital.com/sandisk-and-open-source/ |
