Comparison of the effectiveness of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment 7.2 and the Mini-Mental State Examination in the detection of mild neurocognitive disorder in people over 60 years of age. Preliminary study.
Aim. Analysis of reliability of the Polish version of the MoCA 7.2 vs. the MMSE in mild NCD detecting, while taking into consideration the sensitivity and specificity of cut-off points for each type of education.
Method. Cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Geriatrics, Ludwik Rydygier Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun. The study was conducted between September 2014 and December 2015. The study involved 131 participants, including 54 people assigned to the group without NCD and 77 to the group with mild NCD. Recruitment for both groups was performed on the basis of specific inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Results. Mean scores of the MoCA 7.2 and the MMSE showed a statistically significant difference between the groups with and without mild NCD. The optimal cut-off point on the MoCA scale for mild NCD was 24/25. The optimal cut-off point on the MMSE scale for mild NCD was 28/29. In the ROC curve analysis, area under the curve (AUC) for the MoCA was significantly greater than the AUC for the MMSE.
Conclusions. The MoCA 7.2 detect mild NCD with greater sensitivity than the MMSE. In the case of this tool, we propose the use of 24/25 cut-off point which has a higher sensitivity than the recommended 25/26 cut-off point. The MoCA 7.2 therefore can be used by primary healthcare and in the geriatric practice as a screening tool in detecting early cognitive impairment. | 2019-04-18T12:44:05 | https://www.psychiatriapolska.pl/843-857-s.html |

This new community of believers (vv3-8), as Paul has already indicated, are a Spirit-led people (Romans 8.14). That is a people who abandon themselves to God. There was a time in their lives when they abandoned themselves to other leaders, and were led astray into sin and idolatry (1Corinthians 12.2), they never questioned it. To get the full enjoyment out of sin, they allowed themselves to be carried away by its power. Now this worship that Paul, and Jesus (John 4.24), speak of, is something beyond ourselves, it is only possible as we yield, abandon ourselves to the power greater than ourselves, the power of God in the Holy Spirit. It is only as the Spirit is continually out-poured upon us as a community, and we in our own spirits are taken up in a conscious adoration of Jesus, that worship is properly known, and exercised. Worship doesn’t consist or exist in a cool, calm, withdrawn self-containment. There is extravagance in true worship, think of God’s extravagance in spending his own Son for us (Romans 8.32). It’s a sacrificial giving of yourself to God, who is sublimely higher than anything, or anyone (Luke 7.36-38; v47; John 12.3; Revelation 4.6-11; Revelation 5.11-14). This worship, in Spirit and truth (John 4.24), leads to an abandonment of the inner self, yet subjected to, and controlled by the Spirit, to the point where we are taken up, borne into the Presence, where in pure enjoyment and ecstasy, we delight in our glorious union with Jesus. Yes, to the point of self-forgetfulness. If you are self, or other person conscious you are not worshipping. In true worship you are conscious of only one person – God.
We are not talking about demonstrable emotionalism, though emotion is involved, but it is in the Spirit of purity and holiness, we are talking about the sublime heights of spirituality. It is for this we were created. This is the highest height of human glory. To achieve such worship, there must be full human cooperation with the Holy Spirit’s leading. You can see from this surely how it is impossible for a non-Christian, a person without the Holy Spirit to worship God, totally impossible! A living sacrifice (v1)? Is that a description of you? If talking and singing about heaven and its joy, if worship and adoration of God are tedious now, it won’t change after death. If we are to be ceaseless worshippers of God in heaven (Revelation 4.8b), some of us need a lot more practice down here. Calvary’s mercy demands it (v1)! | 2019-04-18T16:34:15 | https://folereformedpulpit.com/2015/09/03/notes-on-romans-95/ |

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – The Hurricane Sandy Pollution Response Unified Command lifted and transported the tank vessel John B. Caddell, Tuesday, from Front Street in Staten Island, removing the pollution threat from the environment.
Donjon Marine’s Chesapeake 1000 lifted the Caddell off the shoreline into the water to be checked for seaworthiness and then prepared for transport to the awaiting marine facility. The tanker was transported to a beach slip operated by Donjon Marine.
The Coast Guard worked with New York City Sheriff’s Department, the New York City Office of Emergency Management, New York State Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, New York Department of Environmental Conservation, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Army Corps of Engineers and Donjon Marine to remove the tanker and eliminate the pollution threat.
The Unified Command worked with the New York Police Department to coordinate street closures to maintain public safety.

A passion for genre-spanning melody, field recordings, found sound and electronics combined with the utility of guerrilla techniques (encompassing household objects) has spat ZvS face first into the sphere of criticism in the creation of affably sinister sonic sketches and ambionic audio montage.
The debut 12″ EP ‘Interviews & Interludes’ was released on Brighton’s acclaimed Cookshop label in 2008, which garnered support from Rob Da Bank, Stephan Merchant, Tom Robinson, and Huw Stephens.
In 2009 the debut hour mix for Ninja Tune’s inimitable Solid Steel Radio was aired; and the arse-end of 2010 saw the release of debut album ‘(Falling from) The Nutty Tree’ on legendary LA label Mush Records.
2011 saw the first live shows with a European tour, including live/DJ sets and radio sessions, and two showcases at NXNE in Toronto. Tour supports have included Daedelus, Gold Panda, Fujiya & Miyagi, Nosaj Thing.
The debut exclusive live radio session for BBC6 Music’s Tom Robinson was also aired in the summer of 2011.
The second full length LP entitled ‘The Bridge Between Life & Death’ is built around field recordings that were taken in Iceland at the end of 2009 and features stunning collaborations and guest appearances by Amiina (Sigur Ros), Sin Fang (Seabear) and Benni Hemm Hemm (MORR).
This was released on the irrepressible Lo Recordings (UK), !K7 (US) and Alter K (FRA) in June 2013. | 2019-04-23T22:41:44 | http://www.zoonvansnook.co.uk/ |
When I began conducting research to support the development of the first New Jersey Conference on Disability and Employment, I received some very positive feedback from the very beginning. I was told that this type of conference was much needed. I also became more aware of other successful conferences in the state and where there might be opportunities to create program content that would provide real value to families, employers and service providers.
It has become very apparent to me that, to a great extent, discussions of disability and employment have taken place in three distinct silos. For example, there is a long-running conference for supported employment professionals which provides useful information in the form of concurrent workshops. There are programs for employers hosted by the Chamber of Commerce and other organizers. There are also workshops and conferences for families, often hosted by attorneys, which typically provide information about accessing supports that are available through state agencies.
These programs all serve important and distinct purposes. I have attended and learned from many of them.
The New Jersey Conference on Disability and Employment, which is developed with the input from parents, educators, employers and service providers is also designed to serve a distinct purpose. We bring together families, employers, educators, job coaches and agency personnel for a day of panel discussions addressing the challenges and opportunities associated with the employment of individuals with disabilities.
Our first two conferences included discussions about how schools and parents can collaborate to coordinate pre-vocational skills development activities. There were employer case studies and panels on the working relationship between service providers and employers.
There were plenty of opportunities to ask questions and to engage in frank conversation in a comfortable and welcoming environment.
Looking ahead, a primary objective of future conferences, workshops and webcasts is to provide affordable access to information, employer insights and networking opportunities, As the parent of an adolescent with a disability, I am interested in pulling down the curtain that sometimes prevents us from making informed decisions to support our kids’ rights to pursue meaningful, satisfying employment. | 2019-04-18T20:57:27 | https://www.disabilityandemployment.net/about-1/ |

Back pain can be a symptom of colon and rectal cancer and most commonly occurs after the malignancy has spread, according to the American Cancer Society. As a colon tumor grows, it may become so large that it pushes against nerves and organs, which in turn causes pain.
Additional symptoms of colon cancer include bloody stools, stomach cramps and weight loss, explains Mayo Clinic. Individuals may also experience diarrhea and constipation. It is also common for individuals not to experience any symptoms in the early stages of the disease, which is why regular colon cancer screenings are essential. The recommended age for regular screenings is 50; however, certain individuals may be advised to begin at an earlier age, especially if cancer runs in the family.
What Are the End Stage Symptoms of Cancer? | 2019-04-24T10:36:47 | https://www.reference.com/health/colon-cancer-cause-back-pain-37492c08214b83db |
Penicillium marneffei infection found in both immunocompetent and immunosuppressed patients.
P marneffei found in Southeast Asia and southern China.
Mold, septate hyphae 1.5-5 um in diameter.
May be cultured from a variety of specimens including blood.
Penicillium spp. other than P marneffei occur worldwide.
Infection with Penicillium spp. is rare; occurs in immunosuppressed patients.
Penicillium spp. are ubiquitous in nature and may be recovered with ease from a variety of sources within the hospital environment. These molds commonly contaminate clinical specimens and cause contamination in the laboratory. Colonization of nonsterile anatomical sites in humans is common. In most cases where Penicillium spp. are recovered from clinical specimens, they represent colonization. Nevertheless, colonization must be distinguished from the possibility of invasive disease.
Unique among the Penicillium spp., P marneffei is an endemic mycosis that is found in Southeast Asia and southern China. Most of the cases in the world literature have been reported from these areas; however, an increasing number of cases have been reported among individuals, particularly those with AIDS, who have traveled to or resided in the endemic parts of Southeast Asia and southern China. In Thailand, penicilliosis is the third most common opportunistic infection in patients with AIDS. Little is known about the environmental reservoir of P marneffei. Infection is acquired via inhalation, inoculation of the skin, and possibly ingestion. Person-to-person transmission does not occur. There is a marked predominance of male cases (~ 90%).
Penicillium spp. are among the most common filamentous fungi found in nature. These blue-green molds grow rapidly in the mycology laboratory and produce fine septate hyphae with 1.5-5 um wide elements. In tissue specimens, the mycelial elements are somewhat larger at 15-20 um in width and exhibit branching at ~ 45° angles. One of the Penicillium spp., P marneffei, is unique because of its dimorphic characteristic. In tissue specimens, it grows as a small yeast cell that resembles Histoplasma capsulatum. In the laboratory, P marneffei will grow as a mold with hyphal characteristics similar to the other Penicillium spp. The species may be distinguished by their characteristic conidia forms. Except for P marneffei, the Penicillium spp. are rarely speciated by mycology laboratories.
Infection caused by Penicillium spp. other than P marneffei occurs almost exclusively among profoundly immunosuppressed patients and is exceedingly rare. Penicillium spp. lack the necessary virulence factors to commonly cause human infection, and only in the setting of extreme immunodeficient states can invasive infection occur.
In contrast, P marneffei is capable of causing infection in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. In immunocompetent patients, P marneffei infection may resemble histoplasmosis with a granulomatous reaction involving the reticuloendothelial system. The organism is capable of surviving within macrophages. On occasion, a more suppurative reaction can occur in immunocompetent patients, resulting in abscess formation in various organs, especially the lung, skin, liver, and subcutaneous tissues. P marneffei infection in immunosuppressed patients can be granulomatous or necrotizing and is likely to disseminate.
Infections caused by Penicillium spp. other than P marneffei are very rare, and recovery of Penicillium spp. from clinical specimens will almost always represent colonization; however, in the severely immunocompromised host, repeated recovery may represent opportunistic infection. Isolated case reports of invasive penicilliosis, including prosthetic valve endocarditis, peritonitis, endophthalmitis, and infections at other sites, have been reported in the literature.
The most common presentation of P marneffei infection is chronic illness with fever and weight loss (Box 4). A nonproductive cough is frequently present. Other specific symptoms may be present depending on the extent of infection. Because skin involvement occurs in nearly two-thirds of patients, skin lesions are usually present and are most commonly found on the face, upper trunk, and arms. They are papular in appearance and resemble molluscum contagiosum. Generalized lymphadenopathy is also often present. Hepatosplenomegaly may be detected on abdominal examination and is more common in children.
Anemia is the most common laboratory abnormality present and is found in approximately three-quarters of patients. Blood cultures are positive in over half of patients. There are currently no serological tests to diagnose P marneffei infection.
In patients with pulmonary involvement, the chest x-ray may show multiple infiltrates, abscesses, and cavitation. Hilar involvement may be present, but there is usually no hilar calcification.
P marneffei may closely resemble tuberculosis, particularly in patients with HIV infection. The disease also closely resembles histoplasmosis and cryptococcosis as it occurs in HIV-infected patients.
The diagnosis of invasive disease by Penicillium spp. other than P marneffei must be based on histologic evidence of tissue invasion and recovery of the organism from tissue culture. In addition, recovery from a sterile body fluid such as blood or synovial fluid is suggestive of infection but must be interpreted with caution in view of the frequency with which Penicillium spp. contaminate laboratory specimens.
Infection with P marneffei occurs only in people who have lived or traveled in the endemic areas of Southeast Asia and southern China. An exposure history is critical in considering the diagnosis. Blood cultures will establish the diagnosis, but other specimens including bone marrow, skin, abscess fluid, lymph nodes, sputum, and others may yield the organism. P marneffei must be distinguished from Histoplasma capsulatum, which it closely resembles in the laboratory.
The drug of choice for treatment of P marneffei infection is amphotericin B, although in vitro resistance has been described (Box 5). The addition of 5-flucytocine appears to enhance the efficacy of amphotericin B therapy especially in more severe cases. Itraconazole also appears to be highly active against the organism; however, it should be reserved for indolent cases or for use following an initial response to amphotericin B. A standard course of therapy is 2 weeks of amphotericin followed by 6 weeks of itraconazole. Relapse rarely occurs in immunocompetent patients but is common among AIDS patients. Chronic maintenance therapy with itraconazole is indicated in patients with AIDS.
With early diagnosis and initiation of appropriate fungal therapy, the prognosis is very good; however, among patients in whom the diagnosis is delayed, the mortality rate is high.
Because very little is known about the environmental niche of P marneffei, there are no recommendations or guidelines for prevention and control of this infection. | 2019-04-19T02:55:34 | https://www.antiinfectivemeds.com/fungal-infections/penicillium-infections/ |

29 Recruitment Agencies found in Manchester in the Financial Services industry.
The financial services is an industry that can be extremely lucrative to be a apart of and it employs over 1 million people across the UK. It comes as no surprise then that it is a sector supported by a vast network of recruitment agencies. Specialist recruiters are more likely to concern themselves with higher end roles in banking or accounting while more common positions tend to be in credit control or tax compliance.
Manchester has established itself as the financial hub of the North of England with the city generating £9 billion to the UK economy just from this industry alone. The sector has seen Manchester undergo a 50% growth both in GVA and employment in the last decade, with 190,000 currently working within the financial services. Roles within this area can vary but tend include titles such as financial advisor, internal auditor and mortgage broker which can often mean large rewards for those willing to take on the responsibility and long hours.
The average salary in this field in Manchester is £42,000 but can vary anywhere from £25,000 to £52,000.
While there is a non-graduate route into financial services, employers are increasingly looking towards graduates to fill in entry roles. Analyst and advisor roles for instance, will look for degrees in economics or relevant maths fields whilst the majority of employees will also be encouraged to obtain some form of specific professional qualification such as an NVQ or an Investment Management Certificate (IMC). Potential candidates are also expected to have an eye for detail as well as strong quantitative and analytical skills. | 2019-04-24T04:08:51 | https://www.agencycentral.co.uk/agencysearch/financialservices/countysearch/england/manchester.htm |

Whenever we hear the words soy protein, the first thing that comes to our mind is “healthy”. This is indeed true since soy protein can be a great substitute or alternative to meat. However, not all of the things that soy protein can bring to our body are considered beneficial. In fact, there are quite a number of negative side effects that we could expect from this type of food especially if it is in isolate form. Here are some of the soy protein isolate dangers that all of us must be aware of.
We all know that protein is an important factor in building our muscles. This is the reason why protein is required in the daily diet of all athletes and bodybuilders. Some of the good sources of protein include meats and eggs. However, taking too much meat can be very dangerous to our health. In fact, too much intake of any animal by-product is considered to be harmful to the body. This is the reason why a lot of us would choose to have soy protein as a replacement. Soy protein is basically derived from the soybean plant, which is available in two different forms namely soy protein concentrate and soy protein isolate . Both forms are actually useful in reducing bad cholesterol level in our body thus reducing the chance of having coronary diseases. Nevertheless, the isolate form of soy protein does have side effects other than positive. Below are some of the most common drawbacks or dangers of soy protein isolates.
In one of the recent studies of the American Dietetic Association, soy protein isolates are known to contain anti-nutrients that can develop or delay the body’s ability to digest food and absorb all the nutrients into the bloodstream. This results in abnormalities in our body’s digestion. In addition to this, soy protein isolates do have phytoestrogens. These plant-derived compounds mimic the effects of the hormone estrogen in the body. Because of this, soy protein can actually cause imbalances in the body hormones and could even cause the enlargement or depression of the thyroid gland thus leading to rapid weight gain or weight loss. Too much intake of soy protein isolates in men could also lower the sperm count as well as the libido. This, however, only occurs upon too much intake of the said soy protein form.
Aside from its natural harmful components, soy protein isolates could also cause harm to the body due to its process of manufacturing. These isolates are actually subjected to acid washing in aluminum tanks thus leaving a huge amount of aluminum in the finished product. Some added ingredients such as nitrates and other chemical flavorings are known to produce harmful developments in the body such as cancer, allergies and even Alzheimer’s disease. These are just some of the soy protein isolate dangers that we must put into consideration once we decide to eat any byproducts that contain soy protein as an ingredient.

I have eaten isolated soy protiens since the dawn of my life. Recently, my family discovered the cons of isolated proteins of all types. Please keep distributing this important and life saving message of how bad isolated proteins are. | 2019-04-25T10:46:56 | https://www.healthforworld.com/soy-protein-isolate-dangers/ |

Apr 25 What Is Worship?
What is worship? Some years ago the Chicago Tribune reported the story of a New Mexico woman who was frying tortillas when she noticed that the skillet burns on one of her tortillas resembled the face of Jesus. Excited, she showed it to her husband and neighbors, and they all agreed that there was a face etched on the tortilla and that it truly bore a resemblance to Jesus.
So the woman went to her priest to have the tortilla blessed. She testified that the tortilla had changed her life, and her husband agreed that she had been a more peaceful, happy, submissive wife since the tortilla had arrived. The priest, not accustomed to blessing tortillas, was somewhat reluctant but agreed to do it.
Clearly, worship can sometimes go awry.
To worship is to assign worth or value to God. One of the more powerful portraits of worship comes to us in the book of Revelation. In it, we are given a glimpse into the inner sanctum of heaven itself, and we hear the song of the living creatures, the elders, and the angelic host.
In this text, we encounter something extraordinary, yet it is something to which all Christians should be able to relate—pure worship. As creatures made in the image of God, we were designed to worship our Creator, yet we depart from this purpose due to our sinful human nature. Nevertheless, once the Spirit of God enlivens people, imparting to them spiritual life, they have a new capacity for worship. Deep within, all Christians have a hunger to find a way to express worship of God.
It is no accident, therefore, that worship is one of the central purposes of the church. When the people of God gather in a common assembly, the purpose is to worship. People often go to church primarily for fellowship, Christian education, or edification, but the primary reason we should be there is to join with other believers in worshiping the Lord.
I hope you have worshipped God today. We describe the worship of God with words like exaltation or praise. Paul tells us that one of the most wonderful ways that we can praise and adore God is to present our bodies as a living sacrifice to him (Rom 12:1-2). Would you adore God in this way by dedicating yourself to him? It is unfortunate that we have cheapened the meaning of the word adoration these days. We describe people as “adorable,” meaning that they are cute or attractive, and in romantic situations, it is not uncommon to hear that one lover “adores” the other. Properly speaking, adoration is more than that. It is one thing for me to love my wife but quite another for me to worship her, which I am most certainly not to do. The sort of affection associated with the concept of adoration is meant to be given to God alone.
From a biblical standpoint, adoration takes place in the innermost recesses of our souls; it is of a spiritual nature that defies precise definition, yet we know when we experience it. We are aware of a spiritual connection between the nonphysical aspect of our humanity and the very character of God in which we praise him with our lips or with our thoughts such that our spirits overflow with affection, admiration, reverence, and awe for him. Adoration includes placing ourselves in a lowly position so that the One being reverenced is thereby exalted. I think it is that which Jesus had in mind when he told the woman at the well that true worshipers will worship God in spirit and in truth (John 4:21-24).
The paradigmatic picture of early Christian worship has long been Acts 2:42. The church gathered to hear the apostles’ teaching, to fellowship, to break bread (observing the Lord’s Supper; compare 1 Cor 11:23-26), and to pray. Other accounts indicate that early Christian worship included offerings, songs, and the felt presence of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 16:1-2; Eph 5:19; Gal 3:1-5). Worship encompassed the entirety of one’s life lived in obedience to God (Rom 12:1-2). Every act of obedience to Christ, no matter how mundane, when done to his glory, is an act of worship (e.g., Col 3:17). This worship will find its consummation when people from every tribe, tongue, and nation join with the rest of creation in adoration before the throne of the Lamb (Rev 5:11-14).

Canada, second largest country in the world in area (after Russia), occupying roughly the northern two-fifths of the continent of North America.
Despite Canada’s great size, it is one of the world’s most sparsely populated countries. This fact, coupled with the grandeur of the landscape, has been central to the sense of Canadian national identity, as expressed by the Dublin-born writer Anna Brownell Jameson, who explored central Ontario in 1837 and remarked exultantly on “the seemingly interminable line of trees before you; the boundless wilderness around you; the mysterious depths amid the multitudinous foliage, where foot of man hath never penetrated…the solitude in which we proceeded mile after mile, no human being, no human dwelling within sight.” Although Canadians are comparatively few in number, however, they have crafted what many observers consider to be a model multicultural society, welcoming immigrant populations from every other continent. In addition, Canada harbours and exports a wealth of natural resources and intellectual capital equaled by few other countries.
Canada is officially bilingual in English and French, reflecting the country’s history as ground once contested by two of Europe’s great powers. The word Canada is derived from the Huron-Iroquois kanata, meaning a village or settlement. In the 16th century, French explorer Jacques Cartier used the name Canada to refer to the area around the settlement that is now Quebec city. Later, Canada was used as a synonym for New France, which, from 1534 to 1763, included all the French possessions along the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes. After the British conquest of New France, the name Quebec was sometimes used instead of Canada. The name Canada was fully restored after 1791, when Britain divided old Quebec into the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada (renamed in 1841 Canada West and Canada East, respectively, and collectively called Canada). In 1867 the British North America Act created a confederation from three colonies (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Canada) called the Dominion of Canada. The act also divided the old colony of Canada into the separate provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Dominion status allowed Canada a large measure of self-rule, but matters pertaining to international diplomacy and military alliances were reserved to the British crown. Canada became entirely self-governing within the British Empire in 1931, though full legislative independence was not achieved until 1982, when Canada obtained the right to amend its own constitution.
Canada shares a 5,525-mile- (8,890-km-) long border with the United States (including Alaska)—the longest border in the world not patrolled by military forces—and the overwhelming majority of its population lives within 185 miles (300 km) of the international boundary. Although Canada shares many similarities with its southern neighbour—and, indeed, its popular culture and that of the United States are in many regards indistinguishable—the differences between the two countries, both temperamental and material, are profound. “The central fact of Canadian history,” observed the 20th-century literary critic Northrop Frye, is “the rejection of the American Revolution.” Contemporary Canadians are inclined to favour orderly central government and a sense of community over individualism; in international affairs, they are more likely to serve the role of peacemaker instead of warrior, and, whether at home or abroad, they are likely to have a pluralistic way of viewing the world. More than that, Canadians live in a society that in most legal and official matters resembles Britain—at least in the English-speaking portion of the country. Quebec, in particular, exhibits French adaptations: more than three-fourths of its population speaks French as their primary language. The French character in Quebec is also reflected in differences in religion, architecture, and schooling. Elsewhere in Canada, French influence is less apparent, confined largely to the dual use of French and English for place names, product labels, and road signs. The French and British influences are supplemented by the cultures of the country’s native Indian peoples (in Canada often collectively called the First Nations) and the Inuit peoples, the former being far greater in number and the latter enjoying semiautonomous status in Canada’s newest territory, Nunavut. (The Inuit prefer that term rather than Eskimo, and it is commonly used in Canada.) In addition, the growing number of immigrants from other European countries, Southeast Asia, and Latin America has made Canada even more broadly multicultural.
Canada has been an influential member of the Commonwealth and has played a leading role in the organization of French-speaking countries known as La Francophonie. It was a founding member of the United Nations and has been active in a number of major UN agencies and other worldwide operations. In 1989 Canada joined the Organization of American States and signed a free trade agreement with the United States, a pact that was superseded in 1992 by the North American Free Trade Agreement (which also includes Mexico). A founding member (1961) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Canada is also a member of the Group of Seven (G7), which includes the world’s seven largest industrial democracies and, as the Group of Eight (G8), had included Russia until it was indefinitely suspended from membership in 2014.
The national capital is Ottawa, Canada’s fourth largest city. It lies some 250 miles (400 km) northeast of Toronto and 125 miles (200 km) west of Montreal, respectively Canada’s first and second cities in terms of population and economic, cultural, and educational importance. The third largest city is Vancouver, a centre for trade with the Pacific Rim countries and the principal western gateway to Canada’s developing interior. Other major metropolitan areas include Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta; Quebec city, Quebec; and Winnipeg, Manitoba. | 2019-04-24T12:18:22 | https://www.britannica.com/place/Canada |

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Association of Union Constructors announced it plans to memorialize industry leader James J. Willis, Sr., by renaming its annual construction innovation award.
The James J. Willis Craftperson of the Year Award will be awarded to honorees who have demonstrated outstanding labor-management cooperation and quality craftsmanship in the construction industry.
Nominations are open to all crafts, on all projects completed in 2008, worked under any type of building trades collective bargaining agreement. Apprentices, journeymen, foremen and general foremen are eligible for nomination.
This award was established in 1989, as the Craftsman of the Year Award. Upon learning of the loss of one of the industry's giants in December 2008, the TAUC Board of Directors unanimously approved a plan to rename the award.
James J. Willis, Sr., was a dear friend and supporter of The Association of Union Constructors and an authentic leader within the construction industry for more than five decades. Prior to his retirement as first vice president of the International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental and Reinforcing Iron Workers, Willis was president of the National Maintenance Agreements Policy Committee, Inc. and co-chairman of the NMAPC Labor-Management Committee. | 2019-04-18T20:46:53 | https://www.tauc.org/press/association-news/index.cfm?fa=article&id=372 |
You can use a stopwatch with a lap timer for timing exercises, jogging, racing laps, seeing how long it takes the bus to travel across town, or finding out how long your friend takes to recognize the song you’re playing. Whatever you want to measure with accurate time to the tenth of a second, the stopwatch is ready for you.
Even while you’re running the stopwatch, you can still use the iPod to play music, videos, audio books, and podcasts. When you play a video, the stopwatch continues to count as usual; when you switch back to the stopwatch display, the video automatically pauses.
Tap the Clock icon on the Home screen, and tap the Stopwatch icon along the bottom of the display.

The stopwatch starts counting immediately, the left button changes to Stop, and the right button changes to Lap.
(Optional) Tap the Lap button to mark each lap.
Tap the Lap button to record each lap. Repeat this step for each lap — Clock creates a list of lap times.
Tap the Stop button to stop counting.
The counter stops counting. The left button changes to Start, and the right button changes to Reset. You can resume the count from where you left off by tapping Start, or you can start the count again from zero by tapping Reset.

You can resume the stopwatch session from where you left off, or you can start a new stopwatch session.

Buddy, Little Dude, and I take a walk almost everyday. Some days, if the weather is nice, we take 2-3 walks.
As the season started to change from Summer to Autumn, Buddy began to�notice that the leaves were changing colors. We talked about how the leaves will change colors and fall off the trees as the trees get ready to go dormant for the winter. I know what you’re thinking, isn’t this over Buddy’s little 3yr old head. Some of it is, but he understood most of what I told him.
He recently watched a video Baby Genius: Seasons which introduces the seasons by showing pictures and kids playing in each season, set to classical music. He learned and told me each season and what happens in each season (example: Spring = rain and flowers). So when I told him the leaves were changing colors and starting to fall off the trees he informed me that the season was Autumn. I also told him that some people also call this season Fall.
As we walked on, we came to Buddy’s favorite bush that is along our path. The leaves were changing colors and most of them were beautiful. The leaves ranged in colors from red, to yellow, to orange! Buddy started to pick some of these colorful leaves and I started thinking of what activity or craft we could do with them. As we walked home, I came up with an idea and told Buddy what we were going to do with his leaves. He loved the idea.
When we got�home, he wanted to get right to work. I made a capital L and lowercase l in block letters on a piece of construction paper. Then, Buddy glued his leaves inside the border of each letter. Our craft turned out great! We discussed how leaf starts with Ll and he named several other things that start with Ll. We also reviewed what sound the letter Ll makes. Buddy already knows all his letters and sounds, so I wanted to expand his thinking with making the Ll with leaves and coming up with more Ll words!
The next day we went on another walk and collected another item for a letter of the alphabet! I’ll share this craft with you next week! | 2019-04-22T04:21:11 | https://easttexashomestead.com/homesteading/autumn-leaf-craft/ |

As we honor Martin Luther King’s 90th birthday and celebrate his legacy fighting for equality, let’s remember that his dream has not yet been realized.
There’s still discrimination. There remain laws that discourage the act of voting.
In several states, the 2018 election was reminiscent of the Jim Crow era. Citizens were purged from the voter rolls in Ohio and Georgia, and communities were left without polling machines in Atlanta. In Porter County, Indiana, there were no workers to open some polling locations.
Thankfully, here in Illinois, we didn’t see nefarious attempts to obstruct voters or decrease turnout. In fact, we saw the highest midterm turnout since 1990. But that doesn’t mean our work here is done. To achieve Dr. King’s dream, we need to modernize how our elections work.
Let’s start with fully implementing automatic voter registration. Let’s ensure anyone can run for office, in part, by fixing the way our maps are drawn to make districts more competitive and more representative. Let’s mitigate how much sway big donors have in determining candidate viability, by passing small-donor financing to help everyday people afford to run for office.
Dare I say, let’s even move Chicago’s elections to a warmer season to encourage turnout?
Dr. King once said of voting, “The denial of this sacred right is a tragic betrayal of the highest mandates of our democratic tradition.” If we, as a state, are not doing everything to encourage the vote, we — in accepting the status quo — are aiding in the denial of it. Let’s make 2019 the year we end this denial and achieve more of Dr. King’s dream.
Ald. Hopkins: At the last public meeting about Lincoln Yards on Nov. 29, you promised to continue the community planning process for as long as it takes — as long as there are lingering questions and important new questions, and until those questions have been sufficiently answered.
Our organizations participated in this process. We asked you and city planners to demand changes by developer Sterling Bay on many aspects of the plan: securing public park space, inclusive housing, the development’s scale and density and the impact on existing independent music venues. We are still waiting to see how Sterling Bay addressed these issues.
Now, as you announced, Sterling Bay is making major changes. But these changes have not been presented to the community, which also needs to assess how the changes have altered the overall plan. So we were stunned and dismayed to hear that the Lincoln Yards proposal is on the Jan. 24 agenda of the plan commission.
In several recent news accounts, you stated that you might allow the hearing to go ahead if Sterling Bay provides you with a revised, detailed master plan by Jan. 24. That is unacceptable. Allowing the commission to consider the plan now would violate, and render meaningless, the entire community planning process that you have led to date.
Even if Sterling Bay has already delivered a revised plan to you, there is no time, place or process for the community to see and hear about it, to ask questions and get answers, and to provide meaningful input that helps to inform your decisions and to shape the ultimate plan.
We implore you to honor your commitment to the planning process and to the citizens of Chicago by immediately removing the Lincoln Yards Planned Development ordinances from the Jan. 24 agenda. | 2019-04-21T02:31:33 | https://chicago.suntimes.com/opinion/martin-luther-king-voting-rights-election-reform/ |
Here are a couple of gorgeous Vintage Peacock Images! I’ve been searching for a very long time to find a Peacock Image with the tail fanned out, I have some others with the tail going down, so this was a lucky find! This one was scanned from a Circa 1854 Poultry book. The Peacock at the top is the original image, he’s apparently called a “Common Peacock”, so I guess that’s why his colors aren’t as bright as the ones we are all used to seeing. I created a second version of him in bright blue and green, just for fun! You might also like some other gorgeous Vintage Peacock Images, that you can grab Here.
These are so beautiful Karen – I love the proud peacock and his magestic stance. Thanks so much for these images.
Thank you, thank you! So beautiful!
Yay! I’m so glad you all like these beauties!
Not sure what I’d use them for, but boy are those peacocks gorgeous. Thanks!
Thank you Karen for generously sharing. Both peacock look great in the brown or green.
Thanks so much – peacocks are my favorites! And these two don’t make noise.
Ha ha MaryLee 🙂 I love them too, so beautiful! | 2019-04-20T08:14:31 | https://thegraphicsfairy.com/gorgeous-vintage-peacock-images/ |
…and despite the grey clouds, I can't help but remember that there are rainbows.
I can’t decide which I enjoy more: the sentiments or the photo of your kids.
Awwww! I love the love!
It doesn’t get anymore perfect than that: 5 beautiful kids gazing at a double rainbow! Wow.
Awesome double rainbow – and I love how your kids are all so close with their arms around each other. That’s worth framing!
Oh wow, all 5 of the kids and a double rainbow too! That is pretty damned perfect.
That is one of the best pictures I have seen in a long time. I LOVE IT!! You gotta submit that somewhere!!!
It has been raining here all day. I am hoping that in the rain I will be able to photograph today.
I lerv these shots, especially the one of el cinco. I love how they have their arms around each other–beautiful.
Those are BEAUTIFUL rainbows. My favorite photo is the one with the kids in it. It’s spectacular!
That is an AMAZING rainbow. I haven’t seen one in a very long time. I like how el cinco is in the picture too.
Thanks for the snappy comebacks — I knew I could count on you to bring the sass.
You clicked those snaps? Serious awesome! And the twin rainbow! Great!
That is a MOST awesome picture.
Beautiful. I can never capture rainbows properly.
The rainbow is gorgeous, of course, but El Cinco completes the picture! | 2019-04-19T06:19:24 | http://thesmartness.com/2009/07/20/perfect-moment-monday-rainy-reminders/ |
Component that initiates leader election based on holding a lock. If the lock has the right properties (global with expiry), there will never be more than one leader, but there may occasionally be no leader for short periods. If the lock has stronger guarantees, and it interrupts the holder's thread when it expires or is stolen, then you can adjust the parameters to reduce the leaderless period to be limited only by latency to the lock provider. The election process ties up a thread perpetually while we hold and try to acquire the lock, so a native leader initiator (not based on a lock) is likely to be more efficient. If there is no native leader initiator available, but there is a lock registry (e.g. on a shared database), this implementation is likely to be useful.
Create a new leader initiator with the provided lock registry and a default candidate (which just logs the leadership events).
Create a new leader initiator.
Set the ExecutorService, where is not provided then a default of single thread Executor will be used.
Enable or disable the publishing of failed events to the specified applicationEventPublisher.
Start the registration of the candidate for leader election.
Stop the registration of the candidate for leader election.
Create a new leader initiator. The candidate implementation is provided by the user to listen for leadership events and carry out business actions.
true if leadership election for this candidate is running.
Enable or disable the publishing of failed events to the specified applicationEventPublisher. Because of the large number of failure events that can be published while attempting to get a mutex during leader election (in the case that another instance is holding the mutex), the default is set to false.
publishFailedEvents - boolean that if true, failed events will be published. If false, no failures will be published. Default is false.
Stop the registration of the candidate for leader election. If the candidate is currently leader, its leadership will be revoked. | 2019-04-23T18:07:43 | https://docs.spring.io/spring-integration/docs/5.0.11.RELEASE/api/org/springframework/integration/support/leader/LockRegistryLeaderInitiator.html |

September 29 is a high-energy, highly motivated day when the Moon conjuncts Mars in Sagittarius. You can get three times as much done in a third of the time. This week is a mixed bag, as legalities and social networking head the spotlight.
This week is also yours as Jupiter makes a fiery Grand Trine with the Moon and Mars. Burn through obstacles, bring in your good, and then rest and retire, offsetting any quarrels.
Your super-special someone may have a great gift for you. Or, if yearning for a partner, you could meet someone now.
As mercury retrogrades on the 4th, be as pleasant as you are efficient and capable. Good vibes could reverberate for months from what you do now.
You need to set straight something important or something merely annoying and offensive before Friday, if possible. Everyone will thank you.
This week breathes a bright new life into some financial matter. If you're owed money, it could materialize now.
On the weekend, a first-time guest could bring something unexpectedly wonderful or say exactly the right thing and unwittingly solve a problem. Pay attention.
You could meet a lot of fascinating people and make many new friends as the leaves begin to turn and fall. You could also take up a creative new interest or hobby.
Treasure those sentimental, personal activities, routines, and possessions. Maybe photograph that one perfect rose in your garden. One never knows when disruption may arrive and upset the stats quo. There could be an announcement of some new technology or we will witness whatever it is capable of somewhere in the world. We are on high alert this weekend – the 4th through the 7th. Be sure to say prayers for world peace. We will need every one of them come next week. | 2019-04-20T08:18:10 | http://wisdom-magazine.com/Article.aspx/3744/ |

This is the fourth and last CEMUS program-bound course, that´s ending the first year. With focus on Sustainable Development, the approach to a large extent goes towards fictional writing alongside scientific lectures. Written assignments were linked to books, followed by internal feedbacks between students with relative free scientific reigns.
Many students welcomed this different approach, giving tribute to genuine dynamic communication talent from science (and) fiction. The first submission serves as the beacon, expected to be enhanced and in the end, printed with the other´s. | 2019-04-25T17:47:23 | http://blogg.slu.se/erik-sustainable-development/sustainable-development-worldviews-and-discourses-a-seminar-series-5-credits/ |

Who cares. It won't matter.
Bye bye Werth, Lind, Lobaton, and Kendrick.
If we sign Harper to a long-term deal, then go for it in 2018 and beyond. We don't need much in terms of new assets as the roster stands today. Harper, Rendon, Turner are your core offense. Scherzer and Stras are your aces. Roark can hopefully figure it out. Find a couple starters.
If we can't re-sign Harper, we should seriously look at punting on 2018 to be competitive and good in 2019-2020+. It won't happen because of money/appearance, but it could be the best way. Trade Harper - you won't get max value, but at least you get something - and trade Murphy. Trade whatever relievers you want. Energize the farm system through a series of trades and focus on guys who can be here in 2019. It's unrealistic if not impossible, but man, it'd be a ballsy move.
Let Werth walk, try to move Wieters, trade Murphy for pitching, see if Miami will give us something for Gio, and entertain offers for Bryce.
Will never happen. Stanton spelled backward is "NotNats."
Move the team back to Montreal.
Eaton replaces Werth. That’s an upgrade. Severino replaces Lobaton. Another upgrade. We need a solid #3 starter, and a Lind replacement. We’ll win the division again next year but I think we need to bolster the rotation to have a shot at advancing.
hell we win the division even if we trade harper and make no improvements.
maybe a few patch up jobs at the deadline but nothing comparable to the gains from a harper trade.
hell, with better chemistry we might make it past the first round in that scenario.
Even without Harper this team is good enough to win the division. There's simply too much talent to tank.
Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeriste you know we'll lose in October.
In all seriousness, what do you do about Gio? He'll win you plenty of games in the regular season, and is a key component of the staff, but can you really ever put him on a playoff roster again?
Edited to add: I think a starter to be our #3 in the post season is the team's biggest need. We can't expect Max and Stras to carry the entire load.
I remember when Joe Ross was our 3 starter of the future . Do we go into next season with the same starting 5? Sign Fister again?
We're lucky if Ross pitches at all next year. It's probably Fedde or a journeyman next year. Wouldn't mind Fister back though for emergency if he doesn't get a better gig.
How about trade Strasburg for Contreras (the catcher) and Quintana from the Cubs? I really like that Contreras kid. Strasburg leaving in a few years anyway.
You could get something for Madson and Gio too.
I'm gonna miss Howie. He has always been one of my favorite players. | 2019-04-21T11:26:17 | http://www.wnff.net/index.php?topic=35850.0 |

Cloud computing is natural progression of service-oriented architecture. The Web as the platform: data with Web 2.0, programming and development with mashups, and deployments and resource provisioning with cloud computing. However, the Web was not necessarily designed to be an on-demand compute platform and infrastructure and certainly not as a network for data centers which is what it is displacing with cloud computing. What are the challenges to advance cloud computing? For example, how do users of compute clouds make use of the heterogenous nature of the Web and specifically of the choices between potentially engaging with public clouds versus creating enterprise private clouds? Additionally, since there are usually no single answers, due to a variety of compute demands, how should cloud providers and users harvest, create, and utilize best practices in this new platform, thereby encouraging improvements in cloud engagements?
Mobile computing has entered a new era with the broad availability of multi-modal, internet enabled, context enabled 3G devices. We are able to now create context aware applications that have much richer capabilities than were previously possible on mobile platforms. Our goal was to look at overcoming the limitation of current mobile applications using Context Aware Computing, RESTful Web Services, and Cloud Computing.
Using context-aware computing, we can incorporate user inputs, sensor inputs, and information from the web to enable an applications that are context aware and "adjust" to the user's current context, making for a rich user experience. This context-aware functionallity allows the application to ease the users input burden where appropriate. This helps overcome some of the input limitations of small form-factor devices.
Using RESTful web-services and cloud computing allow architectures to increase the computational, security, and storage capabilities of the traditional mobile application. The ability to be continuously connected to the internet, and the ease of consumption of RESTful web-services allows software architectures to be created that can use the device for human and sensor input, which is then passed off to a RESTful web-service for memory intensive and computationally intensive tasks.
Using Cloud Computing, architectures can be created that use cloud based authentication/authorization, and in which a mobile application can now store larger amounts of data than are typically possible in mobile applications. This ability to use cloud storage for mobile application storage greatly enhances the capabilities of modern mobile computing applications.
This session will be an overview of how to design and implement these architectures in order to modernize mobile applications. We will stay largely platform agnostic but ultimately implement in iPhone/Cocoa. The implementation is obviously secondary to a good design, and the design can be implemented on any multimodal context-enabled mobile device. | 2019-04-21T10:28:48 | http://www.oopsla.org/oopsla2009/program/practitioner-reports/115-cloud-computing-and-emerging-technologies |
While the last decade or two has brought it more recognition, cremation services in Fairmount(MD) are still somewhat of an uncommon entity. However, it is fast becoming a more economical means of final disposition for deceased loved ones. Do you know how to go about planning for Fairmount(MD) cremation services when someone close to you dies? There is a certain sequence of events that must occur in order for this option to come into play.
Cremation Services in Fairmount(MD)- What to Do When Death Occurs?
When your loved one dies, medical authorities such as the attending physician or a medical examiner must verify the death as well as the cause. In the event death occurs after a long illness, the nursing home, hospital or personal physician in attendance calls the death. An unexpected or accidental death may require calling 911 which leads to a medical examiner handling the deceased. Before Fairmount(MD) cremation services commence, once one of the above scenarios is carried out, the funeral establishment of your choice handles the transportation of the body to the crematory. You must make a formal identification of your deceased loved one's body in the presence of the funeral director.
Once your loved one is transported to the funeral establishment of your choice and identified formally in the presence of the director, there are certain pieces of information you will need to bring with you in order to set the plans for cremation services in Fairmount(MD) in motion. You will need to provide your deceased loved one's full legal name, last address, marital status, date and place of birth, social security number, parent names, occupation and a list of next of kin. If the deceased was in the military at one time, their service dates and serial number are needed too. All of this information is required in order to complete the death certificate which the funeral establishment handles. Before Fairmount(MD) cremation services are started, this paperwork must be filled out with medical data and signed by the deceased's physician and then filed with the Division of Vital Records.
There are no state laws that implicitly require embalming. There are a few circumstances when it might be suggested though. For instance, if the deceased's body has to be shipped to or from another state, embalming may be required. If you choose to have a public viewing or wake before Fairmount(MD) cremation services, embalming might be mandated by the funeral establishment.
Embalming helps keep a deceased loved one's body from decomposing too quickly. While there is only a twelve hour waiting period after death before cremation services in Fairmount(MD) can happen, more time is often required in order to complete the planning and paperwork involved. Embalming essentially buys you the time needed to set things into motion. If you are choosing a direct cremation route with no public viewing before a memorial or funeral service, embalming is not needed, even if you wish to visit with the deceased before Fairmount(MD) cremation services commence.
When your deceased loved one is received by the crematory, they have an identification tag placed with them. This ensures that the cremated remains you receive afterward are indeed your deceased loved one. The tag is removed only when the deceased is placed into the cremation chamber. Because only one body at a time can undergo cremation services in Fairmount(MD) within the chamber, there is little to no chance of a mix-up. Once the cremated remains are removed from the chamber and cooled, the identification tag is placed with them for the remainder of the process.
Choosing an Urn - Is It Necessary for Fairmount(MD) Cremation Services?
If you are planning to scatter your loved one's ashes after cremation, you don't necessarily need an urn to house the remains. The crematory, as a default, places the ashes in a temporary container that is leak-proof. If a scattering ceremony does not happen right away after cremation services in Fairmount(MD), you can hold onto the filled temporary container.
However, if the cremated remains are to be buried in a memorial garden or cemetery plot, a decorative urn of some sort is required. There are many styles to choose from including simple wooden boxes to elaborate cloisonn� containers. An urn would also be necessary if you plan to hold onto the ashes after Fairmount(MD) cremation services and display them in an honored spot in your home or even store them in a columbarium.
There is no right or wrong choices in regards to funeral or memorial services. You could have a public viewing before cremation services in Fairmount(MD) along with a funeral service. Or, you could choose direct cremation and hold a memorial ceremony, displaying the urn of cremated remains, at a later date. You choose what is best for family and friends as well as your finances. Contact a funeral specialist to help you with Fairmount(MD) cremation services so that there is a smoother transition from death to memorialization. | 2019-04-19T01:13:03 | https://www.heritagecremationprovider.com/cremation-services-costs/maryland/fairmount |

Contributions in this category were discussed in BoG JVET-E0136 (chaired by A. Segall). Recommendations of this BoG were later confirmed by the JVET plenary.
The document provided results for JVET-D0118 in the context of EE6. JVET-D0118 proposed an adaptive scaling algorithm for coding video with extended colour volume. The contribution reported simulation results produced with adaptive scaling of D0118 under JVET HDR CTC (described in JVET-D1020) and its performance was compared against the JVET EE6 HDR Anchor and performance of the reference design of D0124.
The proponent reported that the technology provided an average gain of 1.9% for AI, 2.5% for RA and 3% for LDB in wPSNRY compared to the JVET EE6 Anchor. The gain was asserted to be consistent for both the “Table 1” and “Table 2” sets of CTC sequences.
In terms of the PSNRY metric, it was reported that the method provided an average 1.5% loss for AI, 0.1% loss for RA, and 0.56% gain for LDB.
In terms of the tPSNRY metric, it was reported that the method provided a 1.3% loss for AI, 0.02% gain for RA, and 0.54% gain for LDB.
In terms of the deltaE metric, it was reported that the method provided an average gain of 0.4%, 1.63% and 1.9% for AI, RA and LDB, respectively.
In terms of the L100 metric, it was reported that the method provided an average gain of 1.4%, 2% and 2.3% for AI, RA and LDB, respectively.
The proponent also reported that the RGB data required for generating the metrics were generated from the YUV data input to the encoder. It was noted that the current CTC is silent on the issue, as the original RGB data may be available and could be used as a reference.
It was suggested to use the RGB data derived from the YUV input for calculation of the metrics.
One participant commented that using the original RGB data may be useful if the test was comparing different representation formats. For example, if a test was comparing the coding of ICtCp to a YCbCr solution.
Recommendation: Use the RGB data derived from the YUV input for calculation of the metrics.
One participant commented that the anchor could be improved by adjusting the QP value based on a combination of luma and chroma.
It was noted that due to possible encoder configuration and/or sequence differences that the results (both anchor and test) did not match the results presented in JVET-E0055. However, as the purpose of the EE was mainly to test the HDR/WCG CTC, results were provided as both test and anchor used the same configuration and test sequences, and so the relative performance may still be useful to the group.
It was suggested that the group may need to consider sequence by sequence QP selection. However, this is likely a result for further study.
For CTC Table-1 sequences, EE6-D0124 technology has 1.67%, 2.75% and 3.46% gain for AI, RA and LD respectively in term of wPSNR, 0.83%, 1.91% and 2.89% gain for AI, RA and LD respectively in terms of deltaE100, and 1.32%, 2,4% and 2.94% for AI, RA and LD respectively in terms of PSNRL100. For tPSNRY, on average EE6-D0124 has 1.21% loss for AI, 0.43% and 0.81% gain for RA and LD. For traditional PSNR metrics, EE6-D0124 has 1.23% loss for AI, 0.17% and 0.80% gain for RA and LD.
For CTC Table-2 sequences, EE6-D0124 has 0.8% and 1.0% gain for AI, RA respectively in terms of wPSNR, and 0.8% and 1.3% gain for AI and RA respectively in terms of deltaE100, and 0.9% and 1.0% gain for AI and RA respectively in terms of PSNRL100. For tPSNRY and traditional PSNR metrics, on average, there is a small loss of 0.2% to 0.3%.
As part of the presentation, there was discussion of the MaxCUQPDelta configuration. The proponent showed results that had been provide in EE6-D0124 that suggested that a MaxCUQPDelta value of 1 may provide the best objective performance for some weighted metric.
One participant suggested that it would be good to view different MaxCUQPDelta configurations visually.
One participant suggested that it would be beneficial to use the finest allowable size for the quantization group size.
One participant suggested that it would be desirable to compare the performance of a 64x64 quantization group size and the finest allowable block size.
Recommendation: AhG activity to study MaxCUQPDelta.
This document reported a cross check of JVET-E0081. It was noted that this was likely due to different encoder configurations and/or sequences. However, as a core goal of the EE activity was to verify the performance of the CTC, results are provided as additional information to facilitate study of the CTC setup, quality metrics and technology in JVET-E0081.
The cross checker expressed concern that the quantization parameter was adjusted for the DC coefficient.
Proponent of D081 replied that this was clearly expressed in the original proposal and documented in the delivery of the software via a Readme file. | 2019-04-24T16:03:11 | http://muhaz.org/joint-video-exploration-team-jvet-of-itu-t-sg-6-wp-and-isoiec-v3.html?page=11 |

Don't underestimate these tiny tuggers.
Stanford University researchers took a few cues from ants to create some tiny, ultra-strong robots. It just had to add some gecko features into the mix. The results were published in IEEE Xplore.
The tiny uTugs, working as a team of six, were able to pull a two-ton car along. The robots accomplished this by using gecko-inspired grippers that allow them to latch on to the ground. This gives them the tensile strength to hold their place against the car, despite their tiny size. Then they unhook and pull just a little bit, slowly but surely pulling the car along its path.
The uTugs weigh a half-ounce each, making the feat all the more impressive. If applied to the real world, it could provide a template for strong, lightweight tension devices that could be used to pull a person or object out of danger. That said, it looks like are not quite quick enough to be a decent valet. | 2019-04-21T14:31:35 | https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/robots/a19915/these-micro-robots-pull-a-car-like-ants-on-steroids/ |
Can Better Planning Prevent California From Going up in Flames?
Blazes in California’s wine country reveal key policy gaps, and the need to rethink urban fire risk.
We recently witnessed the wind-driven Tubbs fire blast its way through densely urbanized neighborhoods in Northern California, causing dozens of fatalities and thousands of home losses. This tragic event easily ranks as the most catastrophic fire in modern California history. Stories of how fast the fire spread and how little time people had to evacuate are stunning.
Despite how unusual the devastation appears, we need to recognize that these structure-to-structure “urban conflagrations” have happened in the past and will happen again. Yet these fires revealed that we have key gaps in our policy and planning related to assessing risk in fire-prone environments.
What is increasingly clear to fire researchers like me is that losses on the human side are often driven by where and how we build our communities. This means we must learn to coexist with fire if we are going to inhabit fire-prone landscapes, just as we adapt to other natural hazards. An essential step is to shift our perspective from a focus on hazard to one that more comprehensively includes human vulnerabilities.
California is leading the way in mapping the danger that wildfires pose to human communities and, in particular, linking building codes to fire severities that may be expected in given location. The state’s Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps are an essential step in recognizing fire as an inevitable process that must be accommodated, similar to how we plan for floods, landslides, earthquakes, and hurricanes.
Despite technical advances, a key problem with most mapped approaches to fire danger is that the focus is almost exclusively on characterizing the hazard—flame lengths, rates of spread or fire intensities of an oncoming wildfire—and much less on the vulnerabilities of what is actually exposed. The “wildland-urban interface,” where developed lands are exposed to natural, flammable areas, is thus often mapped and assumed to be where the exposure ends.
While absolutely correct, this advice minimizes the importance of pre-fire evacuation planning and the short time there may be to get out. It takes quite a bit of thought and effort to anticipate being in such a crisis situation!
As a starting point, we must acknowledge that we currently have tens of thousands—possibly even hundreds of thousands—of homes constructed according to building codes that leave these structures vulnerable to ignition. Amazingly, however, there are very few examples of grant programs to mitigate such vulnerabilities through retrofit programs to, for instance, replace wood shake shingle roofs or to upgrade attic and crawlspace vents to block embers from entering homes.
In contrast, there are millions of dollars in public funds spent annually on community-scale fuel reduction projects. These are common activities pursued by Fire Safe Councils in California and similar organizations in other states.
Strategies exist to lower the risk of fire in the current housing stock and to more carefully design and site future development where wildfires are possible. With increasing extremes expected as climate continues to change, officially recognizing this link and creating a safer built environment will only become more urgent.

Parkinson’s disease affects nearly 1 million people in the United States. It is a slow progressive disorder of the nervous system causing dysfunction of motor organization affecting posture, balance and speech. In the early stages it often produces a tremor of the limbs and/or jaw that can increase. It is caused by degeneration of the substantia nigra. Vision can be affected also and the visual complications will reinforce characteristic difficulties with posture and balance. While visual acuity can be affected by degenerative states in the optic nerve, the primary visual dysfunction caused by Parkinson’s disease is the interference and compromise between the spatial visual process and the postural support producing an upright alignment against gravity.
The spatial visual process establishes a support through the peripheral vision with balance centers to organize postural alignment upright against gravity early in life. In early development as the child begins to become upright the spatial visual process matches information with balance centers to establish a visual midline in relationship to the Center of Mass (COM) and the Center of Gravity (COG). The spatial visual process continues to support postural alignment throughout life by maintaining organization of visual midline with the COM and the COG.
Parkinson’s disease compromises this relationship by compromising the neurological relationships received from the muscles and the joints about the body’s position upright against gravity. This is called proprioception. When proprioception is affected the brain does not receive nor does it respond to the postural cues to vertical alignment. The brain’s postural awareness is supposed to send information to the muscles when there is a heel strike during walking to produce extensor tone so that with each step and moment of contact with the surface of the ground the brain sends information to the muscles to push up or away from the ground or horizontal surface. The spatial visual process reinforces the normal postural tone in the muscles. However, in Parkinson’s disease there is a low tone produced which produces a shift in the visual midline anteriorly causing and reinforcing a state of low postural tone and flexion or leaning forward.
The characteristic common to those with Parkinson’s disease is a shuffling of their feet on the floor instead of lifting the foot for each step. This has been termed “the Parkinson’s Shuffle”. While there are neurogenic effects that cause this characteristic the shift in the visual midline is a primary reinforcer of this postural imbalance.
It has been found that the resultant condition of Visual Midline Shift Syndrome (VMSS) driving the COM and COG anterior or forward exaggerates the characteristic of shuffling the feet during walking. Yoked prisms can affect this imbalance. Yoked prisms can be designed in glasses to shift the visual midline posteriorly to a more appropriate position. This shifts the COM and the COG back to realignment. The result is that posture can be improved and many persons will begin to lift their feet with each step. The yoked prisms do not cure the underlying condition of Parkinson’s disease but can improve the quality of life as well as reduce the risk of fall.
In more severe states of Parkinson’s disease a condition of ‘visual neglect’ can develop from the mismatch of the spatial visual process and the postural base of support (BOS). A visual neglect is not a visual field loss but it characteristically can show the behavior of not being aware of either the left or the right visual field. It causes the person to give more attention to the detail in the non-affected field. This produces a shift in the visual midline toward the side of awareness in addition to the anterior VMSS. The lateral shift can increase the risk of fall and severely affect posture even in the seated position.
Yoked prisms and Neuro-Visual Postural Therapy ™ (NVPT) can be beneficial is realigning posture and reducing or eliminating the visual field neglect. | 2019-04-21T10:47:16 | https://padulainstitute.com/parkinsons-disease-vision-problems/ |

STAR WARS: DRESCA was the winner of BEST PERFORMANCES at the September 2018 FAN FICTION Festival in Toronto.
Jessica Champneys: I love Star Wars! But also, the character of Dresca is one that I came up with when I was just 12 years old. Growing up and developing her story, she has became a big part of the Star Wars universe for me. The only difference between her and other Star Wars characters – like Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader – is that she only existed in my head, and I was the only one who knew about her. So having the chance to see her come to life on screen and being able to introduce her to the world is so exciting.
This was my first narrative short. I had never done anything before near this scale and quality, and there were many elements of the production that were firsts for me (i.e. stunts, working with a DP, etc). As a result, I underestimated the amount of time certain things would take. For example, our two day interior shoot should have been a three day shoot, but I didn’t realize that until it was too late. In the end, we filmed for 36 hours within a 48 hour period. Luckily, we had an AMAZING, positive, and hard-working cast and crew that took it all in stride. But lack-of-sleep was definitely a problem. I don’t think I got more than 8 hours of sleep that entire week.
I’ll admit, as I clicked play, I was really nervous. Whether you’re a fan of Star Wars or not, you’ve probably heard of the chaotic state the Star Wars fanbase is in right now. Many fans are riled up against anything that has the title “Star Wars” on it, official or otherwise. This has made it challenging to differentiate between real, valuable criticisms and blind, toxic hatred. So it was a breath of fresh air to watch this audience’s reactions. You always hope that your audience “gets it” – that they’ll understand the messages you’re trying to convey through your work – and it was so nice to see that this audience did. The positive reviews were fun to hear, and the few criticisms given were very insightful.
Like I mentioned earlier, I came up with the main character, Dresca, when I was 12 years old. Like any other kid who loves Star Wars, I played with toys and came up with my own adventures in that galaxy far far away. I asked myself who would I be and what would I be doing if I got to live in that universe. Darth Vader has always been my favorite character, so naturally I thought it would be cool to be his apprentice.
But as I thought more about what exactly being Vader’s apprentice would entail, I realized that I would never willingly be placed in that situation. I’ve been raised right. I know the difference between right and wrong, good and evil. If I was suddenly sucked into the Star Wars universe, I would join the Rebellion, hands down. That’s just the kind of person I am.
But instead of saying “okay, my character will be a Rebel, then,” I instead asked myself how would I have had to be raised in order to get to that point of being so morally backwards? What would I have had to experience in life to truly believe that Darth Vader was a good guy doing the right thing? This question raised numerous other questions, and launched the creation of a massive story and an independent, three-dimensional character.
When I decided to create a Star Wars fan film, I realized I could take a small scene from that story and convert it into film. I wrote 6 different scripts, each one taking place at a different point in Dresca’s life story, to see what would work best as a short. I found that starting in the middle of her story – at the moment when she has lost everything and everyone she cares for – provided the greatest amount of dramatic tension and character development within a short period of time and worked well visually.
FilmFreeway is, I feel, a very intuitive platform – very easy to use. I’ve used other festival submission sites in the past, and FilmFreeway is definitely the best one I’ve used so far.
Way too many to list all of them here. 🙂 Obviously, I’ve listened to a lot of Star Wars music by John Williams. Other songs that I listened to frequently while writing this short were the soundtrack for the 2013 movie “Carrie” by Marco Beltrami, and “Control” by Halsey. These songs helped me to get inside Dresca’s head.
I’d love to try my hand at writing a feature length screenplay. There are few original concepts I’m developing now.
I recently watched a lot of 80’s fantasy films like Labyrinth and Dark Crystal, it then got me thinking about my childhood movies and TV shows. I set out to make Visionaries first of all (I loved that show when i was a kid) but then I thought I could do more with Masters of the Universe, I mean it had a better story and interesting Characters.
I had this idea of a woman running for her life,but then I thought maybe she has a baby and she’s running to save the baby’s life…Then I thought maybe the baby could be HE-MAN, I should make this a prequel to the Masters of the Universe.Man-at-Arms was always like a father figure to HE-MAN, so I thought, maybe this could be the moment where Man-at-Arms meets HE-MAN. It kind of went on from there.
I think FilmFreeway is an excellent way to get films out there, I’ve been very fortunate to get my work into a few festivals and even won awards. Not all of my submissions have been selected every time but it’s part of the process I guess, I mean you can’t win all the time!

FK: Well, I had this idea of a Kylo Ren film in my head for quite a long time – say around 6-7 months. But never got the last piece of motivation to realize that idea – as you often do with ideas.
So when I heard of that festival I only had 7 days to produce that movie cause of the deadline (noticed that Festival really late). Fortunatly I had the idea and my Full Body Kylo Ren Outfit – so I “only” needed the location, the actors and the props – piece of cake XD.
But Ferman actors are very into it if they could play a part in a genre film (what is very underrated here in Crime-Film-Ballerburg-Germany. So I posted the demand for talent on 3 Facebook-Actor-Groups an got 67 responses in 24 hours. What a luxury!
So I gathered my very awesome Filmcrew and we shot that at T-7 Days in a whole day and I spend the rest 6 Days in my office doing the postproduction. Movie was uploaded at 23.45pm on a 23.55pm Deadline.
FK: ONLY 6 Days of postproduction with a one man crew (ega. ME) to rely on.
FK: Due to the 7 days quick-deadline I am very well aware of the not so good things on the movie – for example the lack of a realistic McGuffin-Solution. But even realizing that in the audience speaks for a very cineastic-firm audience that really is loving it to watch those Fan Films. So – it hasnt been a full disassambly – so I am very pleased and surprised by the wonderfull charming audience! I LOVE YOU PEOPLE!
FK: Like I said – after watching Episode 7 I immediatly fell in love with the Kylo Ren Character. So dark, so gritty, so … rough and not even. So it was pretty clear to include that character in a Star Wars Fanfilm – if I would ever realize one.
That compared with my intension to realize that film in a OneShot-Planar-Sequence-Look (no visible cuts) gave me the needed technical challenge to start that film in the first place.
FK: Yeah sure – there is always a new project, right?
Thanks for the opportunity to showcase a “german produced genre film” in the HOLY COUNTRIES overseas. its an amazing honor the be mentioned by international film fans, Filmmakers or critics!
So THANKS AGAIN – you and your festival did a GREAT Job and a PERFECT plattform for every Fan of all those gigantic Franchises and Universes out there! | 2019-04-18T10:21:55 | https://matthewtoffolo.com/tag/fan-fiction/ |
STILL CHASING YIELD WHEN YOU SHOULD BE CHASING SAFETY?
Complacent investors got a rude wake-up call early in 2018. The confluence of a strengthening economy, a big tax cut, and a budget deal calling for $300 billion in additional spending was more “good news” than the markets could take.
As often is the case, bond investors reacted first, sending interest rates up and bond prices down sharply in January. Stock prices continued to power higher until the Labor Department reported on February 2 what some investors have long feared: wage inflation had returned. Average hourly earnings for all employees grew 2.9% year over year in January. And that news sent stock prices into a violent decline.
It’s not that investors begrudge the average worker a pay raise. Rather it’s that wage inflation had been remarkably tame last year, despite an improving economy and price increases in oil and other industrial commodities. Investors know that the Federal Reserve closely watches “core inflation,” i.e., inflation excluding food and energy. The Fed doesn’t necessarily want to raise interest rates if inflation is being driven by higher gasoline and food prices. These prices can be jerked around by the weather and geopolitics. But the Fed will react to higher core inflation, which is largely driven by rising wages.
In pursuit of its mission to maintain price stability, the Fed would like to see core inflation hover around 2%. For the last decade, the Fed and most other central banks didn’t worry about inflation because they were fighting deflation with low interest rates and easy money. Now, inflation has returned. And the higher wage inflation goes, the harder it is for the Fed to keep core inflation at 2%.
I view the recent turbulence in the stock and bond markets as a wake-up call to investors. The investment landscape has changed. Higher volatility and higher interest rates are the order of the day. Investors should forget about the so-called new normal of persistently sluggish economic growth and low inflation. Rather, they should try to remember the old normal—a time when easy money begat higher inflation and higher inflation begat tighter money and higher interest rates. Sometimes the Fed’s tight money policies strangled the economy and sent it into recession.
Of course, the prospect for higher interest rates has been long anticipated: ultra-short bond funds have reported massive inflows over the past 18 months. It is important to remember, however, that not all substitutes for money market funds are created equal. During the great financial crisis of 2008-2009, one money market fund “broke the buck,” a few ultra-short bond funds experienced double digit declines, and popular substitutes for cash equivalents like structured investment vehicle notes and auction rate securities ran into severe liquidity problems. The common thread linking all these disasters was the lack of attention to the quality and structure of the debt securities owned in these funds.
In the ultra-low interest rate environment of the past decade, many fixed income investors successfully chased yield by lowering credit quality or using leverage or exotic financial structures to enhance their yields. But, as the Fed continues to tighten the monetary screws and interest rates march higher, there likely will be economic repercussions. Credit spreads — the gap between lower quality bond yields and higher quality bond yields — will eventually widen as lower quality, debt-addicted companies begin to experience financial difficulties.
Last October, renowned Wall Street economist Nancy Lazar published a piece titled, “The Rise of Zombie Firms—A Problem for the Living.” She noted that zombie firms—American companies which couldn’t service their debts from cash flow and thus were kept alive by borrowing money—had tripled over the last 15 years. Today the zombies represent 7.6% of the Russell 3000 universe. (No telling how many private companies are in this condition.) Lazar concludes that “super-accommodative central bank policies certainly contributed to the rise of the zombies, by making capital cheap and investors hungry for yield. The undead are thus less inclined to innovate and invest, weighing on economy-wide productivity.” What’s more, I would conclude that these zombies will be a significant source of financial distress during the next recession or credit crisis.
With interest rates on the rise, short and ultra-short fixed income should have a prominent place in a diversified portfolio. But care should be taken to ensure that portfolios aren’t increasing credit and liquidity risks while decreasing maturity/duration risk. Most “enhanced yield” fixed income products have some degree of credit or liquidity risk. So look under the hood of fixed income portfolios to ensure that unintended risks are not present.
How can investors spot an ultra-short manager who can successfully navigate an increasingly risky economic environment? Look at how the manager performed during the last two recessions. There are ways to enhance yields without taking on too much credit or liquidity risk, however, the number of managers pursuing such strategies is limited. After all, chasing yield has been a top performing fixed income strategy for the past five years. But remember the old saw: Past performance does not predict future results.

There is always a reason for doing anything and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is no exception. Health care providers through their practices get a lot of access to information that if not treated with utmost privacy may cause more harm than good. Sometimes the information they have access are not just information about their patients, but about people their patients have come in contact with. In a bid to hear certain truths about a patient’s health from the patient, health care providers gain access to knowledge about certain persons in the life of the patient. In other keep this information from becoming public knowledge and as such threatening the psychological, social and emotional health as well as physical health of the patient concerned, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) set standards to protect patients’ information.
To ensure that electronic Protected Health Information are kept with confidentiality, integrity, and availability of ePHI the Covered Entity (CE) creates, receives, maintains, or transmits. The confidentiality of ePHI is very important, as a health care provider patients’ information that you collect and maintain is kept secret to you and only those with permission to know about them.
To protect against reasonably anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of the ePHI. Information that a health care provider creates, collects and maintains in any medical health record is also at the risk. This information can be affected by natural disasters, environment hazards and human tampering. Therefore, the HIPAA Security Rules aims at protecting ePHI from any of these threats.
To protect against reasonably anticipated uses or disclosures of ePHI not otherwise permitted or required. Every protected Health Information in any medical health record kept by a Covered Entity must not be used or disclosed without the necessary authorization from the patient concerned. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) seek to ensure that no ePHI is used or disclosed without the patient’s permission.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Security requirements give Covered Entities (CEs) flexibility in accomplishing these set goals. | 2019-04-25T00:09:08 | https://davonnetworks.com/blogs/news/goals-of-hipaa-security |

The building with the characteristic curved glass façade, built in the 1990s as a car showroom, is redesigned to host an area of contemporary aesthetics and pioneering way of working out, on a total area of 1,680m2.
The curved shape of the main elevation takes on a different dimension with the installation of white horizontal strips, which act as a shading medium and an aesthetic continuity between the interior and exterior. This façade curvature also defines the layout of all floor plans, as well as the form of the mechanical equipment. The building consists of two-storeys, with a specially designed roof for outdoor training.
The interventions in the building’s interior consisted of common industrial materials, such as timber pallets –a typical characteristic of ICON Fitness aesthetics in Greece and abroad, a visible metal skeleton and exposed mechanical equipment, which help in keeping in line with the industrial character and concept of ICON Fitness.
Some of the key elements within the space are the new perforated metal staircase, the suspended mezzanine with the linear niches and the characteristic “black box” entrance –featured in all ICON Fitness Clubs, lined with dark mirrors that allow the reflections of all surfaces and activities, while providing a transition from outside to inside and vice versa. The custom-made graphics, lighting and sound systems add a whole new dimension to the perception of the space and complete the design concept. | 2019-04-20T06:39:31 | http://www.zoumboulakisarchitects.gr/project/icon-fitness-chalandri/ |
Welshman Chris Hummels today apologised to the world after confessing that his latest novel features a main character who is a writer. Hundreds of people have gathered around Mr Hummels house, accusing him of violating a sacred bond between writer and reader, with many calling for his hands to be cut off.
"It's a real kick in the teeth," said bystander Mary Whatsername. "I've been brought low before, by the US airmen for instance in 1942 - some of them were definitely a handful. Anyway, yes, what Mr Hummels has done has basically destroyed reading for me forever. Writing about a writer indeed. Write what you know, that's what they say. Well what do they know about it? It's a disgrace."
"I was with my writing buddies the other day, down the pub, and one of us said, 'How about making my main character a lifeguard?'. I said why not - and while we're at it, let's wear our underpants on our heads and call one another Hitler. But then I realised that I was being a proper dingbat. Why can't a character be a lifeguard instead of a washing machine repairman? It was a real lightbulb moment - and yet here are these maniacs outside my door, threatening to bust open my washing machine and see how I get on with a writer coming to repair it. Beggars belief."

You might want to stock up on tissue before Dec. 10. That’s when NBC will air Dolly Parton’s semi-autobiographical movie Coat of Many Colors, and from the looks of the trailer, you might drop a tear or two when you watch it.
Jennifer Nettles is almost unrecognizable and absolutely riveting as she sheds the high-glam makeup of her recent appearances in Chicago on Broadway and affects a Blue Ridge Mountain accent to play the role of Dolly’s mother Avie. Co-star Alyvia Alyn Lind is the perfect little Dolly with the same sparkling energy of the country music legend and Ricky Schroder is the strong patriarch of the family as Robert Lee Parton.
The movie is based on the true story that inspired Dolly’s actual hit single “Coat of Many Colors,” but delves deeper into the country icon’s childhood and musical aspirations.
Don’t forget to watch on Dec. 10 at 7 p.m. CT on NBC. | 2019-04-26T10:24:56 | http://www.nashcountrydaily.com/2015/11/18/new-trailer-for-dolly-partons-new-movie-coat-of-many-colors/ |
For those busy weeknights where you crave something hearty, filling, and comforting but lack time (and let's be honest...energy), this quick and easy gluten-free ravioli dish is for you.
Three Bridges Gluten-Free Cheese Ravioli is so tender, so delicious, you will never guess it's gluten-free. All it takes to prepare the ravioli is a few minutes in a pot of gently boiling water followed by another minute or two in a pan with your choice of sauce. This gluten-free ravioli is an easy base for a variety of comfort meals.
This particular ravioli dish features gluten-free cheese ravioli gently tossed in Kale Pesto along with shallots and grape tomatoes. You can either make your kale pesto from scratch in a food processor, or pick up a container of Three Bridges Kale Pesto for an even easier and quicker weeknight meal.
For protein, I paired this dish with simple grilled chicken, but you can add grilled or sautéed shrimp instead or skip the meat entirely for a Meatless Monday meal.
Grill boneless, skinless chicken breasts per preference - either on the grill, George Foreman type electric grill, or purchase and re-heat pre-grilled chicken strips for an even faster weeknight supper (Trader Joe's sells delicious pre-grilled chicken breasts).
In a medium-sized skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the halved grape tomatoes and cook another 2-3 minutes until softened. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the pesto and cook another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Add the gluten-free ravioli one at a time to the pot. Cook on a gentle boil for 3-4 minutes, stirring gently. Remove with a slotted spoon.
Add ravioli to the pan of sauce and softened tomatoes. Gently fold the ingredients together until well combined.
Divide ravioli and sauce between two plates. Add grilled chicken slices over top. Serve immediately with garnish of grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. | 2019-04-19T22:51:55 | https://www.thespruceeats.com/gluten-free-cheese-ravioli-with-kale-pesto-4090170 |

The Nanaimo Gladiolus and Dahlia Society was formed in the mid sixties. The originators of this club had all been members of the Nanaimo's Horticultural Society and a few also belonged to the chrysanthemum society.
The shows began as a one day event at Port Place Centre (formally known as Harbour Park Mall) in the downtown of Nanaimo. They were quite small in comparison to today's show which is held annually in August at the Country Club Centre.
From 1970 to present day, people come from all over Vancouver Island, lower mainland, as far South as Oregon, USA and as far East as High River, AB to attend and enter their blooms with our Society. | 2019-04-19T17:03:56 | https://nanaimogladdahliasociety.webs.com/history-of-ngds |

Two additional dog food brands have been added to the massive Diamond Pet Foods salmonella-related recall list, Apex and Solid Gold.
Currently, the following dog food brands (and some brands that include cat food as well!) are being recalled: 4Health, Apex, Canidae, Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul, Country Value, Diamond, Diamond Naturals, Kirkland Signature, Natural Balance, Premium Edge, Professional, Solid Gold, Taste of the Wild, and Wellness.
Among these brands are some of the most popular and highly recommended dog foods available. If you feed your dog any of the brands listed, PLEASE check your bags carefully.
AND, if you have already checked, check again – Diamond admitted to making a mistake on their original recall. It is possible that if you found your food to be safe previously, it may not be. Double and triple-check to keep your pups safe.
For complete details regarding the recall and all related brands, visit Diamond Pet Foods recall site by clicking here.
Individuals handling dry pet food can become infected with Salmonella, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with surfaces exposed to this product. Healthy people who believe they may have been exposed to Salmonella should monitor themselves for some or all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever. According to the Centers for Disease Control, people who are more likely to be affected by Salmonellainclude infants, children younger than 5 years old, organ transplant patients, people with HIV/AIDS and people receiving treatment for cancer.
Just a few hours ago, Solid Gold received information that two batches of our foods were made at the Diamond Gaston plant around the same time period as some of the previously recalled foods of other brands. Though we have had zero complaints about these particular batches, we have decided to recall them as a precautionary measure. Due to the time difference between us and the appropriate FDA office, there was not enough time in the day to further discuss this voluntary recall with the FDA. We are announcing this now because we know our customers are concerned and didn’t want an entire night to go by without this information being available to the public. Tomorrow morning (May 8th), after speaking with the FDA, Solid Gold will officially institute a voluntary recall of two batches of food made at the Diamond Gaston facility.
We greatly apologize for any concern and inconvenience this may cause and greatly thank you for your patience. Further information will be available in the official recall tomorrow morning. As always, please contact us at 800-364-4863 or [email protected] with any questions and we will respond as quickly as possible. | 2019-04-23T00:06:34 | https://dogingtonpost.com/alert-apex-solid-gold-brands-added-to-recall-list/ |

There are times when words seem inadequate to report news items that are so grotesque that they are hard to believe even when they come from a most respectable source. Today’s New York Times reports in a front-page, above-the-fold story that an audit has disclosed that “Detroit’s municipal pension fund made payments for decades to retirees, active workers and others above and beyond normal benefits, costing the struggling city billions of dollars and helping to push it into bankruptcy, according to people who have reviewed the payments.” Mary Williams Walsh, Detroit Spent Billions Extra From Pensions, N.Y. Times, Sep. 26, 2013, at p. A1 — click here.
That’s pretty bad, isn’t it. But it isn’t all. It turns out that this was only one such pension fund. There was also another one. The outside actuary credited with this disclosure, was unable to get the data from a second pension plan (for police officers and firefighters) so that God only knows what may be going on there.
And if that weren’t enough there is fight going on between two or three auditors (hired by different people with dogs in this fight) as to the proper way of analyzing this mess and the bona fides of some of the auditors. But the firm hired by Detroit’s “emergency manager” who was appointed before the bankruptcy filing, said “the two city plans appeared to have a $3.5 billion shortfall, much larger than previously disclosed” in annual valuation. | 2019-04-18T15:04:12 | http://gideonstrumpet.info/2013/09/detroit-again-auditor-says-its-pension-fund-made-billions-of-dollars-in-unathorized-payments/ |

SCO monitors how each student progresses through its four-year professional program. As shown in our data, SCO has excellent retention and graduation rates that exceed our goals of 95% for both metrics.
The retention rate is the percentage of SCO’s first-time, first-year professional students who continue at SCO the next year. For example, a student who is full-time in the fall semester and stays in the program at the beginning of the next academic year is counted in this rate. The goal of SCO for retention is that 95% or more of all students who enter the program will return through year four.
*Retention numbers only include students who remain continuously enrolled with their cohorts. These students may graduate with a different cohort. | 2019-04-19T17:17:26 | https://www.sco.edu/retention-and-graduation-rates |
I have a love-hate relationship with crows. I hate them but I love to hunt them. To me, they're probably the smartest bird that there is. If you've ever hunted them, then you know what I mean. You see one setting out in a field and very seldom can you stop, get a good rest and get a shot. Most crows that people kill are done so inadvertently. By this I mean they're in the woods and one just happens to fly by.
I've heard it said that if six guys walk into a clump of trees and only five leave that the crows will know that one is still in there. You have to do this a couple of times to fool them up. I've never experimented with this theory, but I don't doubt it. They're smart.
So if they're this smart how do you hunt them? I remember as a kid I got a crow call for Christmas and over the course of time called in a few. You have to realize, in those days we didn't have crow or owl decoys. Ha, we didn't even have good camo or face masks.
The first one that I ever shot fell and my fox terrier Dixie ran up to sniff it and it clamped onto her leg with his claws. She yelped and I finally got it loose and blasted it into smithereens for hurting my best buddy.
So if they're this smart, how do you hunt them? If you use these methods that I describe today then you can drill them. It's almost like they go into a braindead mode. I've been hitting them hard lately.
My brother-in-law is really good at crow hunting, so I'm going to share semi-verbatim what I've learned from hunting with him.
We'll set up in a super thick clump of trees. Cedars work best so you're concealed. We'll pick a spot where incoming crows can't see us until they're literally right on top of us.
Don't quote me on this, but we'll have something like a 15- to 20-foot open area over us. We'll then put a Johnny Stewart call pointed upwards and turn her on. Last weekend on a crow hunt in Kansas I was using the crow/owl selection. That was working fine for us on that hunt.
On the Kansas hunt, I was officially on a coyote hunt so for the heck of it I set my Cass Creek Waggler (electronic decoy) out in the opening, which seemed to help. Many people favor a crow or owl decoy.
Get your guns loaded, drink a cup of high caffeine coffee and crank up the call. Usually they'll show up in a hot second. If you're concealed so they don't see you and you don't miss any, you can drill quite a few before the game is over.
When they quit coming in, jump to another spot. What gun do you need? Grab your favorite shotgun, a few boxes of Winchester 6's and you're good to go. Sure, you can get them with low base shells, but I'd recommend Winchester magnum 6's. Make sure you wear full camo including a face mask. Get ready. Here they come. | 2019-04-18T16:41:53 | https://1source.basspro.com/index.php/component/k2/239-hunting-info/2373-crow-hunting-blog |
