I would award Capcom best booth award if they only gave out free snacks to their wonderful Monster Hunter Caravan. The Monster Hunter Caravan booth let fans lay down in tents and try out Monster Hunter 4 on the 3DS.
If you went in the Monster Hunter store part of the booth designed by local production house Iam8bit, you'd be befuddled by how nice a place they created to sell Monster Hunter merch. That includes some jerky I'm saving for the weekend.
Capcom's panel was a little light on info, basically sharing- videos ran poorly- game footage from already known titles. Capcom's World of Capcom Panel did share some news. The Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition will have three new playable characters including Virgil, Trish and for the first time Lady in a game. That and some extra features that will want you to re-but it if you haven't already played it.
We have a new Ryu statue to swoon over that will be ready by Comic-Con.
It all ended with the promise of more info on Street Fighter 5. An interesting reveal that you'll be able to cross-platform play between PS4 and PC. | 2019-04-25T10:36:30 | https://www.ttdila.com/2015/04/wondercon-2015-capcom.html |
House Duk is located in Meyersdal Eco Estate, Johannesburg, South Africa. This 674 sq.m. house is another masterpiece by Nico van der Meulen Architects. We featured other homes and spaces from this architect and as usual, he never fail to impress us. House Duk has an open plan which connects it to the outdoor living which is of utmost importance to the homeowners. Views to the garden is provided in every room. The home has a chic and sophisticated design that combine different decors and materials to achieve an interesting style.
Who will not fall in love with the beauty of this house? Its openness as well as its modern look is indeed captivating.
The facade of the house has geometric lines in it with the use of a mix of materials.
The entrance entices one’s curiosity with long stone cladded screen walls. Inside, the transparency and openness of this home that lies behind these solid entrance walls.
The interior is linked to the exterior through glass walls same as what we can see here with folding glass doors.
The living room is beautiful with its contemporary design adding some interesting decors as well as some pops of purple.
Large living areas seamlessly flowed out onto the covered patio merging the thresholds between inside and outside.
The ceiling features some floating planes to give it some depth while carrying some lights on it.
Another sitting area is found on the other side of the fireplace which also leads outdoors.
Seen here are the kitchen and living room where you can find a brick wall accent that bring some natural touch to the interior.
The kitchen is neat and lovely especially with its choice of colors.
Black dining set graced the dining area which is given more highlight because of the white flooring and glass walls.
On the lower level of the house are a dining area and a kitchen. While the upper floor used wood, this one used concrete and utilized gray and white colors.
Instead of placing chairs all around the dining table, one side has a long bench on it.
In the patio rests some comfy seating where one can gather for night celebrations.
The pool area is one part of the house that is admirable. You can also see here the terraced landscape.
The site has a southern entry that it allowed for the entire northern facade where all the living rooms are positioned to open up onto a private north facing garden. Due to the site sloping upwards towards the north, the garden was stepped and terraced with gabion walls. Despite the different levels in the garden, Nico van der Meulen Architects made sure that it will still look as one and not two disconnected areas. This is indeed one impressive house design from the exterior to the interior and even the landscaping. Overall, this is one house that we will surely pick to be one the design inspirations of a new home we might think of building! | 2019-04-23T14:34:56 | https://homedesignlover.com/architecture/house-duk-meyersdal/ |

A moving reminder of the Welsh sacrifices during the First World War, the newly-installed headstones represent the more than 30,000 Welsh war casualties from the First World War and highlight the different divisions which contributed to the war effort.
In the build-up to the Bluebirds’ commemorative fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion on 10th November 2018, Sean and Danny visited the CWGC exhibition, learning about both their family connections and Cardiff City’s involvement during the First World War.
They were joined by Dr Glyn Prysor, Chief Historian of the CWGC, who engaged them in conversation about the conflict and its impact on soldiers and the families they left behind.
A number of Bluebirds served during the First World War, including FA Cup-winning captain Fred Keenor, who was wounded in the Battle of the Somme a decade before City's 1927 triumph.
But Sean and Danny heard the stories of those who sadly lost their lives in the conflict, including Lord Ninian Crichton-Stuart – after whom our former home was named – former City goalkeeper Wally Stewart and young reserve defender Tom Witts, who was tragically killed on November 9th 1918 – just two days before the Armistice was signed.
After a poignant visit to the replica cemetary at Cardiff Castle, Danny said: "We spoke about The Great War and remembered how many people lost their lives. It is moving to see [the headstones] - it really brings it home.
"We’ve learned about the footballers, but almost anyone was taken away from their normal job, and the next minute were on a battlefield. It’s really important that we always remember their lives."
Dr Glyn Prysor also spoke upon the launch of the Shaping Remembrance exhibition, saying: “As we approach the centenary of the 1918 Armistice, this is an opportunity to reflect on all those who lived through the First World War, and particularly those who lost their lives.
“I’m always moved to see the insignia of a Welsh regiment on one of our war graves, or to read a family inscription in Welsh on a headstone. You can find Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemeteries and memorials all over the world, as well as in Wales, and this installation at Cardiff Castle will give visitors a sense of their unique atmosphere.
The Shaping Remembrance exhibition sits in the castle’s Firing Line Museum of The Queen's Dragoon Guards and The Royal Welsh and will be open until Saturday 15 December. | 2019-04-21T20:04:23 | https://www.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/news/2018/october/cardiff-city-commemorate-armistice-centenary/ |

What a lovely treat. We have an old fashioned cinema in Malton. only half the original size but still there, and serving hot drinks in proper mugs.
There used to be lots of cinemas here in my town – The ABC, Odeon, Capitol, Queens, The Bell, The Lido, to name a few – but sadly all gone long ago. There’s a multiplex not far from home, one on an out-of-town retail place and most recently one in the town centre but I haven’t been to any of them. I loved the old places when I was a child and a young adult but now with all the surround sound systems I find them far too noisy – the last film I saw at a cinema was Babe – Pig In The City!
There’s the old one in Keswick, called the Alhambra or something like that. I’ve been there and it has the old red velvet seats as well.
I have seen that. I would really like to visit it!
We have a lovely old cinema, run by the Kino franchise. You can take wine into to theatre, or good coffee. But no popcorn! Interestingly, there is a new Ashford Picture House, which is clearly trying to copy this model, with a trendy bar and tapas and fifties styling, but it is a multiplex. I love going to the cinema, and I thought the new Mary Poppins was very good (though perhaps a little stern without the Julie Andrews sparkle).
We used to have two independent cinemas near us – The Grosvener is still there, but The Salon has been turned into a restaurant. The city centre has The Glasgow Film Theatre and other than that it’s multiplexes. However, the last one I went to was one of the ones in Ambleside (Zeferelli’s or Fellini’s, can’t remember which is which) where we got a very good dinner and film deal.
It sounds like you had a lovely outing! I envy your old cinema. We only have one left in the city I’m from (where I don’t live any longer), and they pretty much only play movies at Christmas, but it’s always a fun treat to go. I can’t easily go to the movie theatre much these days with a small baby, so I look forward to watching Mary Poppins Returns once it’s available via iTunes. Although I will say, I am such a July Andrews fan that I have my reservations about anyone replacing her!
Oh it looks lovely. You can’t beat a trip to the old style cinemas..the modern ones have none of their charm !!
This sounds like a wonderful cinema! I never go to the ‘big’ cinema (odeon, vue…) and I very rarely watch a film at all but I do love going to a little independent cinema in Wirksworth called The Notehern Light. They haven’t shown anything I’ve wanted to see for a while so I haven’t been for too long and now feel a bit guilty as I’ve found out it’s not financially viable as it is so the owners are trying to diversify slightly. I’m really hoping it can stay open.
The Northern Light sounds like a lovely place.
That should read Norther Light, not Notehern! I wish you could edit comments!
Oh no… Northern Light! Third time lucky eh?!
Looks and sounds like a proper treat, just like going to the cinema used to be. So much has been lost in the modern multiplex places – I daren’t leave my seat to go to the loo during a film now in case I can’t find my way back! | 2019-04-24T21:08:15 | https://sunshineandcelandines.wordpress.com/2019/01/02/palace-cinema-longridge-lancashire/ |
The Legionnaire’s disease outbreak that recently took over the Bronx is officially over. The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYCDOHMH) confidently announced the end to this outbreak on Thursday, August 20, 2015 and determined that the Legionella bacteria that caused the deadly outbreak originated in the cooling tower of the Opera House Hotel. This was reportedly confirmed after multiple tests of Legionella strains were conducted in several cooling towers around NYC’s northern most borough. The South Bronx landmark was tested by the NYCDOHMH, the state’s Wadsworth Center Laboratory, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and has since been disinfected.
In the wake of the legionella outbreak which resulted in 12 deaths, last week the New York City Council passed legislation (Local Law No. 77) requiring building owners to inspect and clean their water cooling towers every three months in order to prevent future outbreaks. Additionally, the bill requires building owners to carry out a maintenance plan and to register all cooling towers. The State of New York also announced statewide emergency Legionnaires’ disease regulations (Emergency Regulations).
This recent deadly outbreak is a potent reminder of lethality of the Legionella bacteria that is ubiquitous in our environment.
If you or your clients own or manage employee or resident-occupied commercial, institutional, multiunit residential or industrial buildings that may be at risk for legionella contamination, call us at (888) 361-8882 for a free confidential consultation.
If you are concerned about the implications of the newly released Legionella guidelines, AHSRAE 188 2015 and the AIHA guidance document on Legionella, and want to know how to respond to the risks and get ahead of the changing industry practices , contact us at [email protected].
Given that there are 34 species and 70 plus subspecies, we are presuming the NYCDOHMH investigators have a DNA type match between the environmental samples at the source tower and multiple patient specimens.
After aerosols of legionellae are generated, other factors, such as size of the droplets, prevailing wind and other ambient conditions, e.g., temperature, moisture, and solar radiation, will influence the bacteria’s survivability to cause harm and the size of the at risk geographic area. | 2019-04-22T06:10:46 | https://www.cogencyteam.com/news/2015/09/mystery-solved-in-the-bronx-legionnaires-outbreak-why-should-we-care/ |
Cut the onion into thin slices. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sprinkle with sugar, a touch of salt and ground black pepper to taste. Stir occasionally, until the onion is soft and golden (about 10 minutes). Remove from the heat and stir in corned beef, Worcestershire sauce and mustard. Divide half of the cheese between two bread slices, top with the corned beef mixture, the remaining cheese and two bread slices. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-heat. Add the sandwiches and cook, turning once, pressing occasionally with a spatula, until the bread is toasted on both sides and the cheese melts. | 2019-04-23T22:01:34 | http://gordosdips.com/corned-beef-grilled-cheese/ |

Nevertheless, being extremely widespread and with an enormous player-base, it has its issues – particularly latency.

USGS Imagery Topo is a topographic tile cache base map with orthoimagery as a backdrop, and combines the most current data (Boundaries, Names, Transportation, Elevation, Hydrography, and other themes) that make up The National Map. Contours generated for the US Topo product are included and are visible along with other data to the 1:18,000 zoom scale. This product is designed to provide a seamless view of the data, closely resembling The National Map's US Topo (GeoPDF) product at large scales, in a GIS accessible format. Orthoimagery data are typically high resolution aerial images that combine the visual attributes of an aerial photograph with the spatial accuracy and reliability of a map. Digital orthoimage resolution may vary from 6 inches to 1 meter. In the former resolution, every pixel in an orthoimage covers a six inch square of the earth's surface, while in the latter resolution, one meter square is represented by each pixel. Blue Marble: Next Generation and Landsat imagery data sources are displayed at small to medium scales, however, the majority of the imagery service source is from the National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) for the conterminous United States. The data is 1-meter pixel resolution with "leaf-on". Collection of NAIP imagery is administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Farm Service Agency (FSA). In areas where NAIP data is not available other imagery may be acquired through partnerships by the USGS. The National Map Program is working on acquisition of large scale imagery for the nonconterminous States of Alaska and Hawaii. For the most part, any new Alaska orthoimagery data will not be available in this service due to license restrictions. | 2019-04-19T15:05:20 | https://catalog.data.gov/dataset/usgs-imagery-topo-base-map-service-from-the-national-map |

Toshiba says it has developed a new LCD panel for 3D glasses which will cut down on headache-inducing 3D crosstalk.
The new OCB (Optically Compensated Bend) LCD panels will be used for shuttered 3D glasses which trick the brain into seeing three dimensional images by rapidly blocking off each eye in turn, synchronised with the left and right eye images which are shown sequentially on the viewing screen.
Until now, shuttered 3D glasses have been susceptible to 3D crosstalk which is where the left eye senses the right eye image leading to blurred vision and user fatigue.
Toshiba reckons it has fixed the problem with the high-speed shutter response and wider viewing angle of its new OCB lenses.
Hopefully by the time the new technology comes to market somone will have designed an enclosure for the panels which doesn't make you look like an android Roy Orbison.
The Japanese Electronics giant will showcase the new glasses at SID 2010 which starts May 25th in Seattle. | 2019-04-25T10:01:03 | https://www.itproportal.com/2010/05/19/tosh-claims-3d-lenses-reduce-brain-strain/ |
On April 27, 2018, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a proposed rule [CMS-169P] outlining proposed FY2019 Medicare payment updates and proposed quality program changes for skilled nursing facilities.
The proposal replaces the previously proposed Resident Classification System (RCS-I) with Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM), a payment model that is driven by five case mix groups assignments based upon resident characteristics and needs rather than the provision of therapy minutes, the primary driver for payment for RUG IV. The proposed PDPM would be effective 10/1/2019.
PDPM classifies residents into five case mix related components to the rate; Physical Therapy (PT), Occupational Therapy (OT) , Speech-Language Pathology (SLP), Nursing and Non-Therapy Ancillary (NTA). The case mix components primarily use MDS for the specific needs and characteristics for each resident.
The proposed PDPM includes 59 case mix groups. OT and PT are classified into 16 case-mix groups, SLP is classified into 12 case-mix groups, Nursing is classified into 25 case mix groups and NTA is 6 groups.
Clinical Categories are based on the primary reason for SNF and further modified into sub-groups established by identifying residents functional impairment as indicated in Section GG of the MDS. PDPM does not include cognitive function for OT and PT components.
The payment for each component would be calculated by multiplying the Case Mix Index (CMI) for the patients group first by the component federal base payment rate, then by the specific day in the variable per diem adjustment. These payments are then added together with the non-case mix rate to create the total SNF PPS per diem rate under the proposed PDPM.
PDPM uses two factors classifying OT and PT components including the clinical category and function. SLP case mix is determined by the clinical category, the presence of cognitive impairment or SLP related comorbity and whether a patient has a mechanically altered diet or swallowing disorder. PDPM has 25 nursing case-mix groups. To update the ADL score, Section GG will replace Section G to establish functional score. OT and PT will use different items and methodology than nursing from Section GG.
To account for changes in resource utilization throughout the residents stay, variable per-diem adjustments to PT, OT and NTA components are proposed in PDPM.
For OT and PT, the adjustment variable is 1.0 for days 1-20 and declines 2% every 7 days.
For the NTA component, the adjustment factor is 3.00 for the first 3 days and declines to 1.00 for subsequent days.
PDPM uses the 5-Day SNF PPS scheduled assessment to classify a resident for the entire stay. A PPS Discharge assessment would be required for each resident at the time of Part A or facility discharge.
(2) The change(s) are such that the resident would not be expected to return to his/her original clinical status within a 14 day period.
The Assessment Reference Date (ARD) for the IPA would be no later than 14 days after a change in residents first tier classification criteria is identified.
PDPM has a combined 25% limit on concurrent and group therapy for each discipline of therapy provided. When the amount of group and concurrent therapy exceeds the 25% combined limited within any given therapy discipline (PT, OT or SLP), provides would receive a non-fatal warning error on the Final Validation Report issued by the QIES ASAP system during the MDS submission process. CMS has indicated that they will closely monitor the amount and way therapy services would be delivered under PDPM as finalized in the PPS Discharge Assessment and will take action if it is discovered that the patients needs and characteristics are not apparent basis for clinical decision making under PDPM.
Therapy minutes are not calculated and ‘cut-points’ will not determine payment levels. CMS officials have noted, “The minimum therapy that should be delivered to SNF patients is the amount of therapy they need. PDPM eliminates the cut points and allows clinicians to determine the amount of therapy that people require based ono their unique needs”.
SNF Proposed Payment Update is 2.4% for FY2019, which increases payments $850. Million to SNF. This market basket update is a result of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018.
Currently, all measures adopted in the SNF QRP meet the requirements and are in satisfaction of the IMPACT Act and CMS is not proposing to adopt any new measures for the SNF QRP in this proposed rule.
In addition to payment and policy proposals, CMS is releasing a Request for Information on the possibility of revising Conditions of Participation related to interoperability as a way to increase electronic sharing of data to provider. | 2019-04-23T12:30:38 | http://paragonrehab.com/healthcare-landscape/fy-2019-snf-pss-proposed-rule/ |
When a gifted young jazz musician holds one hero above the rest, it can be hard to see past the anxiety of influence. “Back Home,” the fourth and finest album by the tenor saxophonist Melissa Aldana, shows what can happen when that dynamic no longer feels so fraught. It’s a supremely focused statement that makes no attempt to blur its lineage and yet feels largely unburdened by legacy.
Ms. Aldana, 27, hails from Santiago, Chile, where she studied the saxophone with her father. But the home in “Back Home” refers to the midcentury style of Sonny Rollins, her North Star on the instrument. The title track, an original feint-and-parry routine between tenor saxophone and drums, recalls the playful gallantry of a Rollins album like “Way Out West,” from 1957.
Ms. Aldana has a dry but limpid sound on tenor and an expressive command that stretches into an altissimo register. This, along with some aspects of her phrasing, reveals influences other than Mr. Rollins, notably Mark Turner. But she has relaxed into her own style, and she often exudes a pragmatic calm, digging in with her rhythm team.
Anyone who saw guitarist Julian Lage in concert with bassist Scott Colley and drummer Kenny Wollesen in 2015 will be equally surprised and delighted by Arclight. On his Mack Avenue label debut: Lage proves himself not just a student of his instrument—as if that needed further affirmation given his previous solo work and collaborations with vibraphonist Gary Burton and guitarist Nels Cline—but an exceedingly fast learner in the art of studio recording.
No question he benefits from ample assistance and not just from his featured instrumental accompanists, though Colley and Wollesen remain in step with each other on from the very beginning of "Fortune Teller" and navigate the twists and turns of the eleven tracks in tandem just as skillfully. But producer and Grammy-award winner Jesse Harris deserves extra credit for the size and clarity of the recorded sound here because that introductory track arises from the speaker (or phones if you choose) with as much presence as magnitude.
And those virtues benefit conventional material like that of "Persian Rug" too, even if the light skip of the trio especially Lage's glimmering guitar, come and go in less than two minutes. The sequencing of Arclight is key to its success because with such an eclectic approach to the inclusion of not only his own material, but selections from the likes of W.C. Handy ("Harlem Blues"), the ebb and flow of mood is palpable. For instance, "Supera," marks a midpoint between the languid likes of "Nocturne" and the chipper gait of the preceding, aforementioned track.
All of which deft movement Lage, Colley and Wollesen no doubt nurtured in concert. Yet it's one thing to navigate the spontaneity of the moment live and another to translate similarly sharp instincts in a studio as captured on the glowing likes of "Stop Go Start." And it's telling that the transitive verbs in that title reappear in the very next track "Activate;" as insinuating as is the sound of such gentle, melodious numbers, the authority in the rhythm work is equal to that in the ever-so-brief dissonance the guitarist injects into the music. | 2019-04-21T12:43:04 | http://republicofjazz.blogspot.com/2016_03_12_archive.html |

The pursuit of happiness is high on most people’s life agenda. In fact, it is writ large in political manifestos—in the Singapore pledge of allegiance, the U.S. Declaration of Independence, and in Bhutan’s case, even as a measurement of progress: “Gross National Happiness”. So what actually contributes to happiness?
Clearly, wealth has something to do with it but it is only a fraction of the equation. Researchers, including Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman, have shown that on average the more wealthy a nation, the greater the well-being of its citizens. Denmark is at the top of the curve; the USA, a wealthier nation as measured by purchasing power, is not far behind—but it is on the same level as Venezuela—a very much poorer nation. As for Singapore, despite its wealth per capita (11th in the world according to Gallup’s researchers), ranks poorly. Singaporeans described themselves as “struggling” significantly more than the citizens of other countries. Money, it seems, is like hygiene: it can protect people from the lows of disease and discontentment, but it cannot take a person or a population to the highs of thriving and well-being. So once we have met the basic factors of life (food, shelter, and health), what are the causes of happiness?
The self-help section in your local bookstore is likely to shed some light of the issue, but it is unlikely to describe more than one of the three paths researchers have found that actually increase well-being. The strategies you will read reflect the ideals and goals of a society oriented to commercial success. Motivational can-do guru Anthony Robins, life coaches, sport psychologists, and empowerment groups teach us to identify, visualise, plan, and attain our heart’s desires. This might mean acquiring more fame, owning a new BMW, getting that tight body, finding Prince Charming, or improving your immune function. The methods are powerful. In fact, if you do not describe using some of these psychological methods in your application to elite military forces, e.g., the US Navy SEALs, you will be rejected simply because you lack the psychological skills that lead to resilience. While these “go get what you want” methods may help you achieve, gain, and acquire, will they bring you to really high well-being? Apparently not.
Many people follow this path with great success only to find their rich and famous selves sitting on top of their careers and asking, “What is this all for?” Saint Paul, the primary author of the New Testament, described this ennui as a “groaning” for God that cannot be satisfied this side of heaven. The Buddha explained that pain as an inherent dissatisfaction with the unenlightened life. And clinical psychologists call it a mid-life crisis—I had my first one at age 11.
Many people respond by borrowing one of the 19 million copies of the self-help book The Secret by Australian television writer and producer Rhonda Byrne, and adopting a minor modification to the same ineffective grind. A few, however, move on.
According to well-being researcher Dr. Jeffery Martin, director of the Centre for the Study of Non-Symbolic Consciousness, 99 percent of the population is able to improve well-being incrementally using a variation of the standard techniques alluded to above. But, sadly, they rarely arrive at their goal—permanent well-being.
This state is characterised by “positive surrender”. Unlike the previously described stage, where people are actively trying to let go of the need to control, in this stage, surrender is a natural state of being. One might be excused for thinking this “blue”-brained lot would be lazy, un-achieving, and impractical. In fact many have demanding executive level jobs. They describe conducting their lives as a natural expression of who they are rather than with the goal to achieve something in particular. Jeffrey Walker, ex-Chairman and CEO of CCMP Capital, explained to me that this population makes exceptionally good bankers. One reason may be because their emotions do not interfere with their clarity of thought.
So how can any of us get to this stage? While some people claim they achieved it through spiritual practice, many others describe it suddenly happening to them despite having no particular practice. One person became obsessed with mirrors, the reflection of mirrors within mirrors, and the question of “What is reality if everything can be a seen as a reflection?” He found himself questioning the nature of reality and then suddenly… pop! He claims his baseline of well-being profoundly changed forever.
In an attempt to harness technology to effect this change, Dr. Martin’s research privately funded group has created a “happiness hat”. It uses transcranial direct current stimulation to invoke a prolonged state of well-being by sending an electrical signal to the relevant parts of participants’ brains. I interviewed one of the first participants, Sally.
Since then a number of people have experienced this electrical impulse with varying degrees of success. According to Dr. Martin, it is likely that sometime between tomorrow and 20 years from now, well-being is going to be available in the zap of a happiness hat. If he is right, the impact on our society will, literally, be mind-boggling. But it may not be the kind of “surrender” one envisioned.
If the job of our governments is to increase the well-being of its populations, should they start investing in electrode-filled hats rather than roads or schools? And if this hat were to be very successful, would we all use it? Some part of me wonders if in fact a cheap road to well-being would be a good thing. It does not seem natural but perhaps that does not matter. The last time I saw Sally I asked for her thoughts. She beamed as she described her experience. She also explained that she and her partner had just bought a home and regardless of the impact on society, she wants another shot at the machine. As I watched her glow with joy as she talked, I could not help but wonder how much had been caused by her experience in the happiness hat and… I wanted to give it a try myself.

Indeed, it does, with approximately 3 billion casualties — more than half of the total human population at the time — in the resulting nuclear war.

Metal stamping is an amazing process wherein the press exerts a tremendous amount of pressure on the metal being used. However, there is always a chance to get deformed parts, die damages, improper ejection of metal, and unpredictable problems like these, unless the sensors are placed in the right place. These days, precision metal stamping companies are utilizing latest metal stamping sensors technology. The traditional mechanical monitoring techniques have resulted in a lot of material waste, scraped parts, tooling damage, higher operation cost, and other such hassles for many companies in the past.
Precision metal stamping is complex, and so the electronic in-die sensors need to programmed and customized according to the specific press and process being used. There are different types of sensors available, but it is the complexity and size of the part that dictates the sensor type being installed. Reputed precision metal stamping companies mostly opt for customized electronic sensors in their die. The in-die sensors are programmed with the press controls, and stop the whole system before any problems could affect the die. The controls are efficiently programmed to monitor cyclic or static events. In this way, the electronic in-die sensors help provide most efficient results.
How do sensors ensure accuracy?
There are a lot of variables that the precision metal stamping supplier needs to consider. The customers are only worried about the quality of finished products, and there is also the integrity of press and die at stake here. So, the metal stamping company needs to have a proper schedule to check the metal stamping sensors in order to make sure that these provide reliable results. Before the actual installation, the metal stamping company will check all the sensors for proper accuracy and consistency. Apart from checking for the end result, the company will also check whether the sensor can withstand repeated shocks of press operation. The sensors are checked at different points in the production process to determine any cause of the problems, and also troubleshoot any problems during the press run. All the timely testing and troubleshooting ensures precision in every part that comes out of the production room.
Photoelectric and inductive proximity sensors are best-suited for precision metal stamping. One of the best things about photoelectric sensors is that they use a beam of light or fiber options to detect the object being formed in the process. This option has an edge over the others, as the sensors do not come in direct contact with the part being measured. On the other hand, the inductive proximity sensors convert electricity into the magnetic field and identify metal objects. This approach is also non-contact, but can only be used if the object is at a close range.
How do sensors benefit customers?
With the help of sensors, the precision metal stamping companies are able to come up with highly efficient results in a very short span of time. The problems can be detected much before they cause serious damage, and so the troubleshooting is handled efficiently. The sensors protect the die and metal being formed, and so a lot of time and money can be saved here. The metal forming company that uses proper sensors on their machines is able to come up with good quality and efficient results on a consistent basis. The customers can always rely on these companies on providing timely and quality results.
Why is Eigen special in this area?
Eigen has a strong conviction that experienced combined with technology is the way forward in this metal stamping industry. At our metal stamping production and assembly lines we are using sensors at strategic locations to make sure that everything takes place according to the standard. The use of latest sensors also ensures that every little problem is identified before it aggravates to something serious. So when you partner with us for your metal stamping projects, you can be sure to receive the best services with the help of strategic placements of sensors. | 2019-04-25T08:59:58 | https://www.eigenengineering.com/boost-quality-efficiency-metal-stamping-sensors/ |

The Dissertation Proposal Development Program began in 2006 as a fellowship program for early-stage doctoral students in the humanities and social sciences to help them formulate innovative dissertation research proposals. The Dissertation Proposal Development Fellowship, or DPDF, provided workshops, exploratory summer research, and writing guided by peer review and faculty mentorship.
Between 2006 and 2014, the DPDF was thematic, with several interdisciplinary research fields selected annually though the program’s faculty field competition as the basis for student training workshops. Through the DPDF's student fellowship competition, graduate students then applied to participate in one of the thematic training workshops offered in a given year, which were led by senior faculty from each selected research field.
Following the 2014 fellowship cycle, the DPDF was reconfigured to engage with a broader cross section of graduate students in the humanities and social sciences. This reconfiguration eliminated the faculty field competition and thematic workshop components while becoming accessible to more students in the humanities and social sciences, regardless of topic, who were in the early stages of dissertation proposal development.
As of fall 2016, the DPDF as a fellowship program for individual graduate students was discontinued. Instead, the Dissertation Proposal Development Program has shifted toward providing resources and guidance directly to universities to help them establish interdisciplinary dissertation proposal development trainings on their own campuses.
Over its 10-year span, nearly 650 graduate students from universities both in the US and abroad received the Dissertation Proposal Development Fellowship, allowing them to refine their dissertation projects and conduct exploratory research in more than 110 countries across the globe.
In assessing the fellowship program's benefits for students, program staff found that alumni were, on average, significantly more successful in winning dissertation research grants and quicker in obtaining doctoral degrees than were students who did not participate in the program. DPDF alumni also reported overwhelmingly that the program's activities helped them to develop professional skills in writing clearly and explaining their research to broad audiences, giving and receiving critiques from colleagues, and developing academic networks that furthered their career advancement.
Please visit the Resources links for more information on the training components and financial resources the DPDF provided, as well as the fellowship competition's eligibility and criteria. | 2019-04-25T07:04:34 | https://www.ssrc.org/fellowships/view/dpdf-fellowship/ |

As hot as Iron & Wine is these days, it’s surprising that those of us in Boston have had few opportunities to see them perform live. The recent show at the House of Blues was only the second time that I have seen them in the flesh, even though I have been a fan for many years. The first time was at The Newport Folk Festival in 2009.
At the 2009 Newport Folk Festival, Iron & Wine was Sam Beam accompanied by nothing other than his guitar. The tent was filled to capacity and people were pressed around 10 deep to be part of the moment. The dead-silent crowd punctuated the performance with outbursts of thundering applause as he paused between songs. This intimate and emotional affair lingers as a highlight of the festival.
At HOB in Boston, you had another packed space. This time the sold-out crowd met Iron & Wine as Sam Beam, along with another guitarist, bass & drums, keys, horns and back-up singers. (Hell, at the show I said the only way they could have been more different, was if he started spinning records). Despite a full band you could still hear a constant yammering of the crowd, who seemed more interested in being there than listening to the music.
I have never seen two shows by the same artist that were so different, while at the same time, (fundamentally) the same in their greatness. This is no mystery when you compare the Around the Well double album compilation from 2009 and the most recent album, Kiss Each Other Clean.
Both of them are “Best of” for their respective years. However, one is a brilliant compilation and continuation of the folk tradition, while the other combines that folk with some sort of 70s electronic-inspired R&B with a dash of smooth jazz and funk and occasionally something Fleetwood Mac-ish....or something.
I won’t say it is like Dylan going electric--that would be hyperbole. However, I will say this: Sam Beam demonstrated a true mastery of his music. He delivered the new stuff with the passion and expertise that you would expect. Then, he took his earlier work and performed it (with this new vibe) as if it had been written for the latest album (Holy Crap! That’s “Boy With a Coin!!”) while never losing the essential character and power of those songs.
It was something truly special. If given the chance, do not miss Iron & Wine. | 2019-04-21T13:05:51 | http://www.rslblog.com/2011/05/iron-wine-tale-of-two-shows.html |
Stiller, right, with his commanding officer outside their tent.
It is always fun to read about other peoples’ attic discoveries of valuable art or historic artifacts. It is very different altogether to be the one to make such a find.
As I was moving an innocuous plastic container out of the way, I decided to see if there was anything inside I needed to keep. There was another smaller container with a tin foil top — clearly a sign that I was in the territory of my mom’s former belongings. I looked inside to see hundreds of impeccably organized letters, in careful script, and knew immediately what I had found.
My dad, Joe Stiller, left college and enlisted in the Army immediately after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Like so many other young men of his generation, he felt the attack on American soil as a direct hit to his inner sense of patriotism. They enlisted by the thousands, joining a military that grew into the millions.
While on a brief leave, my dad was introduced to a young woman of enormous grace. The youngest of three siblings, she had a smile that could power generators and a gentle sense of humor to match. They fell in love immediately and wrote to each other daily.
Those letters capture a historic period that often went untold by returning military men reluctant to relive even a minute of their miserable years by telling their stories. The “silent generation” was aptly named, as they bore their deprivation and, if lucky enough, came home, picked up the pieces of their lives and moved forward. War stories were not a part of their lexicon, and the memories were buried along with their friends killed on the battlefield.
My dad was no different. His letters from Okinawa provide a glimpse into a life he hated to remember. They also demonstrate how soldiers got through the most horrific of conditions.
His retelling of a brutal typhoon that destroyed the tents where they lived and devastated the island showed resilience and endurance. And even as he painted a picture of terror and helplessness as the storm spread, his own sense of humor came through as he described the aftermath. He closed the letter by stating that he hoped he did not sound like he was complaining, a glimpse into the stoicism of a soldier that would last him a lifetime.
Stiller with his tent and helmet that he used for a wash basin.
Each letter was also a window into the deepening relationship with the woman he ultimately married when the war ended. They showed the emerging love that would continue until his death in 1993, and served as a source of comfort to my mom in the 22 years that she lived following his passing.
Mom never had an interest in dating after dad died. These letters clearly demonstrate why. The remarkable love they shared in their years together was sufficient to last my mom’s lifetime, even as her sadness at his passing never diminished. As lonely as she was, she knew she would never have a relationship with the depth and clarity that she experienced with my dad.
I am struck by one significant generational difference reflected in those letters. This is not about bemoaning characteristics of the WWII generation that are missing today. In fact, I see elements of my parents’ devotion to each other in my son’s relationship with his fiancée and I see my dad’s grit and resilience in both my children.
But in a world in which technology has replaced letters, no generation in the future will ever experience the joy of finding the living memorial that letters provide. No shorthand text message can ever substitute for the emotion of a handwritten letter, nor will a text be lovingly kept for decades, let alone generations. No words typed on a cellphone can ever replace the image of a parent or grandparent hunched over a piece of paper, expressing deeply held emotions in script.
My parents’ words to each other during the deprivations of war served as the foundation of a loving and secure home for decades to follow. Their letters are a gift that endures. I smile at the thought of their great-grandchildren someday stumbling across them, and only hope they will be taught to read script.

Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) have been largely accepted as a rich-framework for planning and control problems. In settings where multiple agents interact, POMDPs fail to model other agents explicitly. The interactive partially observable Markov decision process (I-POMDP) is a new paradigm that extends POMDPs to multiagent settings. The I-POMDP framework models other agents explicitly, making exact solution unfeasible but for the simplest settings. Thus, a need for good approximation methods arises, methods that could find solutions with tight error bounds and short periods of time. We develop a point based method for solving finitely nested I-POMDPs pproximately. The method maintains a set of belief points and form value functions including only the value vectors that are optimal at these belief points. Since I-POMDPs computation depends on the prediction of the actions of other agents in multiagent settings, an interactive generalization of the point based value iteration (PBVI) methods that recursively solves all models of other agents needed to be developed. We present some empirical results in domains on the literature and discuss the computational savings of the proposed method. | 2019-04-22T23:54:42 | https://athenaeum.libs.uga.edu/handle/10724/24464 |
Mars Ice Cream has launched a new on-pack promotion which will see more than 100,000 ice creams given away. It follows on from Mars Chocolate’s 1 in 6 campaign, which Mars says generated an increase in sales of the total chocolate category and drove significant footfall into stores. The instant win promotion on the Mars ice cream products will include Mars, Snickers, Bounty and Maltesers Singles, as well as Mars and Snickers six packs, and promises one in six purchasers a win, in the form of another Mars ice cream bar. The campaign kicked off at the start of March, and runs until August 31 2015. It is being supported by a national outdoor poster campaign. Bep Dhaliwal, trade relations manager at Mars, says: “The Mars Chocolate promotion saw redemption rates being near double, which demonstrates that consumers are highly engaged with this type of promotion and love the participating brands. We are confident that we’ll see the same positive response for Mars Ice Cream.” The promotion is open to UK residents aged 13 or over, and is appearing on specially marked ‘1 in 6 Chance Instant Win’ promotional ice cream packs. To find out if they have won, consumers buy a promotional pack and check on the inside of the wrapper to see if it contains the winning message, ‘Congratulations! You have won a free ice cream!’. Single bars can win another single bar, and multipacks can win another multipack. | 2019-04-23T20:11:44 | https://www.theipm.org.uk/News/2015/03/Mars-run-win-free-ice-cream-on-pack/ |

Rob Rankin helps us breakdown the complicated world of payment networks and discusses what FIs should know about payment networks to maximize their investments.
We encounter payment networks nearly every day. Whether buying lunch with a credit card or withdrawing cash from an ATM, we rely on payment networks to complete our transactions securely and accurately. But while they are an essential cog in the world’s economic machine, we generally know very little about payment networks and how they operate.
We spoke with Rob Rankin, senior vice president at Worldpay, who helps us breakdown the complicated world of payment networks and discusses what financial institutions should know about payment networks to maximize their investments.
First things first – What is a payment network?
A payment network is the intermediary between all of the various elements that comprise a transaction, from the cardholder all the way through to the settling of transaction funds. In other words, whenever cardholders use their credit or debit card at a point-of-sale terminal or ATM, that transaction is routed through a payment network.
What is the purpose of a network?
Networks provide connectivity between the financial institution/issuer and the merchant/ATM. As the intermediary, a network makes sure that, regardless of whether the card is used at a merchant or an ATM, the authorization and funds movement are properly directed to ensure money is appropriately distributed. The merchant and merchant processor determines how a point of sale (POS) purchase payment will be routed. ATM transactions are typically routed through the financial institution’s designated preferred ATM network.
To clarify, can you discuss the different types of transactions covered by payment networks?
There are a number of transactions types supported by payment networks. They include transactions at ATMs – such as cash withdrawals, transfers and deposits, – and at POS terminals where a cardholder swipes, taps or inserts the card or payment device. So, anytime a transaction is made and money needs to be transferred, a payment network is behind the scenes. Payment networks also support peer-to-peer payments and bill payments.
What elements make up a payments network? Are there different kinds of payments networks?
Typically, a network will support two primary transaction sets – ATM transactions and POS transactions. Each network has its own set of operating standards that govern how it authorizes, settles, and supports transactions. This is where you’ll start to see differences among networks – additionally some of the networks’ economics may be more favorable to merchants while others tend to favor the issuer. This preference can be seen in the structure and rates of a network’s fees.
Why should an issuer care about what network they are using?
For a financial institution – as with any business – it all comes down to maximizing the return on its investment. It’s important for issuers to understand its customers purchasing habits and the economics behind their chosen payment network. There could be financial ramifications and missed revenue opportunities if the institution chooses a network whose economics do not appropriately align with how and where cardholders are using its cards. This point underlines the importance for institutions to understand its customers buying habits and align its networks to maximize revenue from those buying habits.
What advice would you give to issuers when considering the financial implications of using one network over another?
The financial implications that come with network choices are centered on interchange and switch fees. Interchange is the amount that gets paid to the issuer for a POS transaction, while a switch fee (sometimes called assessments) is paid by the issuer to the network. Generally speaking, it is usually in the issuers’ best interest to gravitate toward higher interchange fees with low switch fees.
How have EMV and Tokenization affected payment networks?
EMV and Tokenization have made payments safer and more secure. The shift to EMV has forced each payment network to invest in infrastructure upgrades to support more complex transactions. All participants in the transaction flow will benefit from the advancements in transaction security.
Payment networks are complicated to understand, but we need to remember that they only make up one component of a larger payments strategy. I can’t stress enough how important it is that institutions look at – and understand – each component of the holistic payments strategy to ensure they are not missing out on revenue opportunities.

BOD’s farewell reigned supreme in the ratings.
Viewers couldn't get enough of O'Driscoll in 2014.
NO MATTER HOW big a global event is, we would still rather tune into something with an Irish angle. Despite the World Cup final this past July arguably being the biggest global sporting occasion in 2014, it was only the second most watched contest on Irish television last year.
Brian O’Driscoll’s fairytale finish in Paris with the Irish team came first, attracting 891,000 viewers to RTE and getting an audience share of 60.1%, so three out of every five viewers in the country watched Ireland win the 6 Nations.
The World Cup final between Germany and Argentina came second with 859,000 viewers.
Third and fourth were occupied by the All-Ireland finals and although many raved about the hurling decider and trashed the football equivalent, the big ball got more viewers with 831,000 to 796,000.
The top 5 was rounded out with Ireland’s narrow 6 Nations defeat against England at Twickenham, which 717,000 tuned into.
Here is the complete top 20.

The Dolphins need to give Kilgore another a year because, frankly, they have nobody else. But an NFL official who spoke to the Dolphins said Miami is taking a wait-and-see approach with Kilgore, as far as whether he’s good enough to be here beyond 2019.
At 31, Kilgore is actually two years older than Pouncey. In terms of sticking on the roster, it helps that he’s a cheap, serviceable starter.
Kilgore has two years left on his contract, with a $2.2 million base salary in 2019 and a $3.0 million salary in 2020.
Pro Football Focus gave Kilgore a 52.9 grade for his four games last season, which would have ranked 31st of 38 centers if Kilgore had enough snaps to qualify. PFF gave Pouncey a 56.9 grade, which was 25th.
For all the concerns about Pouncey’s health, he has now played in all 16 games two consecutive seasons. And the Dolphins didn’t urgently need the cap room when they released him.
Kilgore said his injury was healed enough for him to have played in December if needed. But he couldn’t, because the Dolphins had placed him on injured reserve.
Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick (14) says he is in peak off season form after a three-day voluntary minicamp at Baptist Health Training Facility at Nova Southeastern University on Tuesday, April 16, 2019.
Kilgore is fortunate in that unlike Miami’s other lineman who was injured - Josh Sitton - he wasn’t released. But Sitton was more expensive than Kilgore. Sitton recently retired after Miami cut him.
▪ Dolphins defensive tackle Davon Godchaux, who’s 6-3 and 315 pounds, revealed the team has him working at nose tackle when Miami plays a 3-4 defense. But the Dolphins would like to add a natural 3-4 nose tackle in the draft process and recently brought Wisconsin’s 346-pound Olive Sagapola to team headquarters.
The Dolphins’ biggest defensive linemen are 325-pound Durval Queiroz Neto (a Brazilian player who will be an 11th player on Miami’s practice squad this season) and 323-pound Joey Mbu (a journeyman and former Alliance of American Football player).
Every AFC East team has been allocated one player as part of the expansion of the International Player Pathway program. They are ineligible to play in 2019.
Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores says he's living the dream as he speaks to the media before the start of a three-day voluntary minicamp at Baptist Health Training Facility at Nova Southeastern University on Tuesday, April 16, 2019.
▪ The Dolphins have taken a liking to Southern Cal 6-1 cornerback Iman Marshall, a projected mid-round pick who also can play safety. He’s had private contact with Miami recently, a league source confirmed.
▪ We’ve broken and/or confirmed 21 of the Dolphins’ maximum permitted 30 pre-draft visits – which are never announced by the team - and two others have been reported elsewhere that haven’t been confirmed: Stanford receiver Trenton Irwin and Oregon defensive end/linebacker Jalen Jelks.
Jelks, who’s 6-5 and 256 pounds, moved from defensive end to linebacker in 2018 and his sack numbers fell from 7.0 to 3.5.
“You thought would go maybe a little higher when the season began but to me he didn’t produce the kind of year expected, ESPN’s Mel Kiper said. “You look at numbers and when you’re 6-5-and-a-half and you have the length he does, to me there’s an opportunity there to be a disruptor off the edge.
▪ The Dolphins last week called Wisconsin’s Micah Kapoi, who’s appealing to them because he can play every position on the offensive line. At 6-4 and 310 pounds, he played 48 games at Wisconsin, with starts at left guard and right guard.
▪ We hear Wyoming’s Niko Evans is among the running backs on Miami’s radar. He emerged as a prospect last year, averaging 6.5 per carry and rushing for 1325 yards, which was second in the Mountain West Conference.
Here’s my other Dolphins post from Tuesday’s first practice under Flores, with notes on Xavien Howard, Laremy Tunsil, injuries and more.
He thinks ‘best football’ still ahead of him. So how long will FitzMagic last?

MANLY captain Daly Cherry-Evans says Des Hasler would bring a return to the infamous Sea Eagles siege mentality should the man who handed him his first grade debut return to the club.
Hasler is expected to be announced as Sea Eagles coach early this week which would see him reunite with Cherry-Evans.
Manly's best years come when they are a club under fire. Hasler led the "us versus them" mentality at Manly and Cherry-Evans predicted a return to that mindset should Hasler lead the club.
"Everyone hates Manly," Cherry-Evans said. "Our backs are against the wall and we love playing that style of footy and living by that mentality. Des was a big part of that. I'm sure if he gets the opportunity to come back he will pick up right where he left off.
Des Hasler talks to Sea Eagles players, including Daly Cherry-Evans (far right).
"With such a rich history with his career at Manly, there is no denying he has the best interests of Manly at heart. It will be interesting to see it all unfold.
"Tim Sheens gave me an Aussie jersey, Mal Meninga Queensland and Dessie club. Those three coaches are people I never forgot. If I was to link up with my first ever first grade coach I'd be all for it."
The Manly halfback is the only remaining Sea Eagles player from their 2011 premiership win which was Hasler's last before dramatically walking out of the club to join Canterbury. While Hasler has had to smoke the peace pipe with owner Scott Penn, Cherry-Evans said there was no need for Hasler to hold a similar discussion with the current squad.
"On behalf of myself no," Cherry-Evans said when quizzed on lingering angst. "I've made it very clear throughout my career that I'll never begrudge anyone for looking after themselves. It's a cruel game we play and job security is certainly a thing that is very rare. For people to look after their own future is not a problem with me."

Hasler might not be the only Sea Eagle to make a return with famed strength and conditioning coach Don Singe linked to the vacant position. Despite growing speculation, Hasler's return is imminent, Cherry-Evans said he had no contact with the club.
"I always say you guys will know before me," Cherry-Evans said. "I honestly haven't heard anything from home. I don't know what's going on back there.
"Whoever the club decides to pick I'll make sure I dive right into it and enjoy whoever it is. I have no problem with the process the club is going through to find a new coach. I'm looking forward to whatever unfolds. If that is Des, we have a bit of history there. That would be exciting to link up with the person that gave me my first grade opportunity.
"That's not my decision. That's for the owners to worry about."
Meanwhile, Cherry-Evans had a mixed return to Test football after playing for Australia for the first time since 2014. Cherry-Evans last Test also coincided with the final time the Kiwis had beaten Australia before Saturday night's two point loss.
"We were our own worst enemy," Cherry-Evans said. "We dropped a lot of ball and gave a good Kiwi side lots of ball and they took full advantage of that." | 2019-04-19T14:23:15 | https://m.dailymercury.com.au/news/des-hasler-to-bring-siege-mentality-back-to-manly-/3549423/ |

Good design is all about storytelling. People want details, but in a world where attention spans are remarkably short, data must be kept as crisp and concise as possible. Visual hierarchy is therefore key.
Matthew Encina, author at design mentorship platform The Futur and Creative Director at Blind agency, has put together a nine-page guide on creating striking compositions using contrast.
The ‘Dynamic Compositions’ framework offers valuable tips on hierarchy and movement to bring “meaning” to your projects and draw people’s line of sight to the gists of your work.

This cat knows how to relax. For him it means nothing more than an afternoon nap on his back, but for some of us two legged creatures, relaxing can be difficult, especially when under the stress of deadlines, jobs, family responsibilities, etc. Unfortunately, I’m not one who can meditate or enjoy a good massage; however, I can enjoy a good romance novel.
What I do to relax is take a day to read. I sit down with a great romance novel and read all day. I do nothing but read. Forget about the laundry, Monday’s lesson plan, or the bills that need to be reviewed and just relax with a good story. When I allow myself this indulgence (not often), I usually have the book finished by dinner. I always take a day to read whenever I have to work an event on the weekend or help a friend move. I take the only day of my true weekend and read. It’s as if I’ve been away from work a week. I feel completely refreshed by Monday. Of course, I’ve traveled back in time, gone to Scotland, and fell in love, so of course I feel as if I’ve been away from work for a long time.
We don’t often treat ourselves to a guilty pleasure, but it seems there are a lot more expensive and time consuming addictions than reading romance novels. Are there tasks you push aside when you want to read? I’d love to know I’m not alone in shirking my daily chores once in awhile for a good read. Do you ever take day and tell your loved ones not to bother you so you can read? Do tell. | 2019-04-24T18:46:35 | https://www.happilyeverafterthoughts.com/2010/09/dont-bother-me-please.html |
What a mess this division has turned into. You had a team that made sure that its starting quarterback didn’t come to camp, while they couldn’t get their starting running back to attend. You had another team that was desperate to acquire said quarterback, but now they say they are happy with what they’ve got. There is a team that can’t decide on starters, so they list players as “co-starters”. And lastly, there was yet another coaching change for the other team in the division. And above all that for the fantasy player, there are so many positions within this division up for grabs, and even if clear-cut winners are declared, will the players involved have a fantasy impact? My friends, the NFC North, a fantasy wasteland!
Chicago has in having Grossman be the starter in 2008. Grossman would have to have a tremendous preseason to win the job, but I don’t think that he has it in him. I see Orton as winning the starting job; however, neither player, even as the clear-cut starter, are worth considering for your fantasy team.
The Bears’ streak of mistakes at the running back position looks to continue in 2008. They chose Cedric Benson over the capable Thomas Jones a year ago, and now Benson is no longer on the roster. Though some will say this is because of his off-the-field activities, let’s be honest here, he was terrible and the only way to make it look like management hadn’t made a mistake was to make him disappear from the roster.
Matt Forte to be the starter. As has been said before, it is the rare rookie running back that can step in and have a big fantasy impact, so temper your expectations for Forte in 2008.
Adrian Peterson is still in the mix, though I see his role as greatly reduced.
Garrett Wolfe. Wolfe has shown flashes that he can run the ball, but the Bears seem convinced that his size prevents him from being on the field.
Chicago running back situation is not one that the fantasy owner can count on, so only middle-to-late round selections here.
Brandon Lloyd could emerge. Geez. Let’s move on.
has two tight ends that will see regular playing time.
Greg Olsen, and the Bears do have a number of formations that will put both of them on the field (and why wouldn’t they when their receiving core is so pathetic?!). The presence of both will limit the individual fantasy numbers, but keep an eye on this situation to see if one of them becomes the main red-zone threat as whoever that is could become a decent fantasy backup.
Chicago, Robbie Gould will be the kicker. Last year, Gould was a Top 10 fantasy kicker, but given the struggles of the Bears offense (which should continue in 2008), he drops a bit outside the preseason Top 10. That said, there should be scoring opportunities and the job is 100% his so don’t be afraid to draft him in the late rounds as your starter.
Detroit to go to a more balanced attack. As a result, starter Jon Kitna‘s attempts will go down. This is a good thing, as it should also reduce the potential for interceptions. The Lions have a formidable array of receivers, so Kitna should be able to put up decent numbers. Draft him as your fantasy backup.
Drew Stanton are the backups – nothing to see here.
Detroit continues to be filled with questions.
Bell, so I’d say at this point he’s the early leader to become the starter.
Brian Calhoun are also in the mix. So the question then becomes, what will the starting running back for the Lions be worth to the fantasy owner? I say not much, because despite their early commitment to run the ball, I don’t see the Lions as a team putting up much yardage on the ground. This is shaping up to be close to a 50-50 split between Bell and Smith, with Calhoun being a third-down guy stealing time from the top two.
Detroit, and they won’t disappoint. Both will end up in the Top 20 at their position, so don’t be afraid to get either on your squad. Williams will end up with slightly better numbers, but look for the Lions to become a two WR team so Johnson will get enough touches to be a solid fantasy WR.
Detroit, but in 2008 that won’t be a position to produce much for the fantasy owner. Take a late-round flyer on him and stash him in case something happens to Williams or Johnson.
Michael Gaines might be a deep sleeper (very deep sleeper).
Dan Campbell could also see some action (zzzzz!).
Jason Hanson, as has been the case for many years, is a capable kicker and he should continue to hold had job title for the Lions. | 2019-04-25T02:43:07 | https://www.fantasysharks.com/nfc-north-preview-3/ |
Jean Claude Ades and Vanjee have established reputations as two of the finest international DJs in the world. Whilst Israeli native but NYC resident Vanjee has been hailed as one of New York’s leading DJ’s and Jean Claude has enjoyed epic international success with remixes for the likes of the Deadmau5 and a string of Beatport #1’s. Here on ‘Mend’, both powerhouses join forces on a deep house track that does justice to their skill and reputation. It is worthy to note that Mend is a remake of Elsiane’s original that first appeared on the Hybrid album (2007). Here in this rework Elsiane’s signature unique vocals once again instantly adds emotion and a beautiful floating tone to the duo’s warm and powerful production. On the remix front, DJ Kellerkind, aka Marco Biagini, the Swiss DJ (known for his international success with the Backflash EP on Stil vor Talent), provides contrast with a superb rerub of the original. His Slap Bass remix is deep House at is finest. Known most famously for producing powerful emotive club music, his emphasis of bass and the vocals in ‘Mend’ creates a much deeper dreamier sound. JCA and Vanjee have collaborated before at JCA’s resident ‘Be Crazy’ night hosted every Friday at Ibiza’s newest venue, Lio. The sophistication of the music policy at this residency shows through in the soulful style of ‘Mend’. | 2019-04-19T04:40:40 | http://www.getanightlife.com.au/interview/showInterview.aspx?iid=50 |
We've put together a list of the questions we get asked most often. Have a look below if you need help on a topic. If you can't find what you're looking for here you can also pop into the Students' Union, email us at [email protected] or call us on 01905 543 210.
How can I find out who my Course Rep is?
You can find out who your Course Rep is on SOLE.
What is the difference between a Course Rep and an Institute Rep?
Course Reps represent students at the course level whereas Institute Reps represent students at Institute level meetings and forums. Institute Reps also support Course Reps in their Institute. Course Reps are mainly elected but Institute Reps are appointed.
Where can I find out about the different Officer roles in the SU and how to stand?
You can find information on all elected roles in the Elections Resource Hub.
Student Council is the Students’ voice in the Union’s governance structure and provides any student with the opportunity to try to influence the policy, priorities and activities of the Students’ Union. It is made up of up to 26 students, including the full-time and part-time elected officers and additional elected Student Councillors representing a range of student groups and interests.
Anyone can submit a motion to Student Council asking it to consider a proposal to change something within the Union or lobby the University to make a positive change for students. You can find all the documents you need here.
How do I book the Students’ Union bar, The Hangar?
You can email the Bar and Events Manager, Chris Greaves at [email protected], or pop in to the Students’ Union to book an appointment.
I’ve been accused of Academic Misconduct. Will I be kicked off my course?
For a repeat offence, there is a chance you will be removed from your course. However, there is a wide range of penalties that can be applied before it gets that serious. Come in and see the SU Academic and Welfare Advisor for some support.
We have an Academic & Welfare Advisor within the Students’ Union who you can have a chat with and get the right advice to help with Mitigating Circumstances and other advice such as housing or University related issues. Make an appointment here.
I’ve been told a Turnitin score of 20% is okay, is that right?
Not necessarily, each report has to be looked at directly, come in and see the Advisor for some help. Make an appointment here.
Can someone come to a meeting with me, I need support?
Absolutely, if you have difficult meetings to attend and need support and representation get in touch here.
When do I start looking for second year accommodation?
You should start to see information around campus about looking for accommodation for your second or third year before Christmas. The Students’ Union’s message is ’Don’t Rent Yet’ and make a decision you’ll regret. Instead, wait for our annual Housing Fair at the end of January which accredited landlords attend giving students the chance to arrange viewings and meet potential landlords.
Can you promote my (society/club) event on the Students’ Union’s social media?
Probably, just make sure you give us enough time. Please see the Marketing your Club or Society document and additional information in the Committees’ Resource Hub.
Can I put these posters up in the Students’ Union?
As long as your posters are non-commercial, this should be fine, but we do need to approve them. Please see our guide to poster/flyer promotion and printing in the Marketing your Club or Society document.
I’ve done something amazing and I want to tell everyone about it. Can you help?
We’d love to! Whether it is academic, personal, sports or society related, email us at [email protected] or pop by the SU Welcome Desk and ask to speak to someone about publicising your achievements. We publish a student achievement magazine, called Worc Hard Play Hard, every semester which we would love to include you in. We would also love to write about you on our website and share your story across our social media. Go #TeamWorc!
I can’t find Worcester University on the NUS Extra card online application, can I get an NUS Extra card?
Yes, of course you can still get an NUS Extra card. The NUS application lists Worcester as ‘Worcester Students’ Union’ online. We also sell them at the Welcome Desk in the Students’ Union where they will be printed there and then.
Where do I get my NUS Extra card from?
NUS Extra cards ordered online and delivered to the Students’ Union will arrive at the Welcome Desk in the SU. You will receive an email when they arrive.
Do you have any jobs in the Union?
All our jobs are listed on our vacancies page. We tend to have a recruitment round for student jobs for the following academic year (Sept start) in March/April each year. We do also have student jobs advertised throughout the year if vacancies arise so do keep a look out on the website.
Unfortunately, due to the volume of applications we receive we are not always able to respond to unsuccessful applicants. Only applicants who are shortlisted for an interview are informed.
I’ve applied for SU jobs a few times but have never been successful.
The ‘Suitability for the position’ section of the application is where you need to detail the skills and attributes you can bring to the role. It’s really important to try and address each point in the Person Specification (detailed in the job description) too so your application is as good as it can be. We’re more than happy to give you advice on how to complete a good application so feel free to contact the SU President or the HR and Admin Coordinator in relation to this. We will also be launching a Guide to Application Forms in September. The University also has a Careers department who are able to offer support with job applications. Further details can be found here.
Student jobs are for a maximum of 15 hours per week but can vary between 8 and 15 hours. Work hours can be discussed at interview.
It is important to make a good first impression so smart or smart casual dress code is recommended.

$10 ebooks. This is the price you will pay to get the book first, to get it fast, to get it before everyone else. There might even be a subset of books for $20 in this category.
For example the new Steve Jobs book. The only reason it wasn’t onsale two weeks ago is that the publisher needed to move tons of molecules from the printer to the store. That means ebook readers have been waiting so that the paper readers could get their copy.
The analogy is paperback and hardcover. You paid extra for the hardcover because it was first and because it was a classy thing to display on the wall. A year later, the very same book is half the price or less as a paperback.
One of the unused features of digital ebooks is that the price can change easily, daily, by volume and by demand.
Starting soon, you’ll pay extra for the hot, fresh ebook (at $20, the publisher can do quite well for two weeks while we wait for the hardcover, thanks very much) and you’ll pay a lot less when it’s on the clearance rack. | 2019-04-22T05:29:52 | https://www.thedominoproject.com/2011/10/paying-for-first.html |

Yet another blow to Constructivism!
Check out this article originally from the Wall Street Journal on how the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics has abandoned their open-ended, problem-solving, "fuzzy math" approach.
Today has been interesting for me. As I drove into work, I found myself crying as I listened to the radio and they replayed reports from 9-11-2001. Then, as I read the news, it hit me even more. Now I don't know if anyone even reads this blog, and I don't really care if anyone who does agrees with me, but watch this video taken by some people who lived next to the World Trade Center (and didn't release until today) and tell me we're not at war.
I just pray that as Americans we haven't forgotten too much in the last five years and when elections come this November we elect those who want to protect us and our interests rather than weaken us. | 2019-04-22T13:56:37 | http://www.dctrcurry.com/2006/09/ |

A few weeks ago we spent the week with all of our kids enjoying the Oregon Coast and our home in Manzanita.
Of course the best part of the week is getting to spend time with these crazy kids! Man, I love them and miss them like crazy already!
It was a glorious week full of lots game playing, golfing, kayaking, beach time, amazing sunsets and s’mores! One of our favorite things to do at the beach is to head down there before sunset, build a fire, play some games on the beach and enjoy the sunset around the fire. As soon as the sun has set and the fire has burned down out come the s’mores.
Even when there is not a beautiful sunset to watch you’ll find us down on the beach with a fire making s’mores!
I always over buy when it comes to the s’more fixins’. Nothing would be worse then to run out of s’more supplies! So when we got home I found myself with some extra graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows. So what do you do when you end up with too much s’more fixins’??? Make Chocolate S’mores Pie.
This is a recipe that has been in our family for many years. It was given to my mother by a friend and it has a delicious, fluffy, mousse like filling.
It uses all those s’more supplies plus some milk and whipping cream. The base of the pie is a graham cracker crust which I make from scratch but you could buy a store bought one but it is so easy to make and tastes so much better and you have the graham crackers on hand, so make it!
The filling for the pie is melted marshmallows, chocolate bars and some milk.
After all that has melted together and cooled you fold it into some whipped cream for a lovely, light, chocolately but not too chocolatey filling! Fill up your crust and then put it in the refrigerator to chill and firm up.
I like to garnish it with a bit more chocolate, graham cracker and marshmallow!
Then of course, all that is left to do is enjoy a slice or two!
Fortunately for me it was my neighbor’s birthday yesterday so I gifted her the pie so I didn’t eat the whole thing myself!
Melt marshmallows and chocolate in milk on stovetop.
Whip cream and fold into chocolate mixture.
This looks yummy! I’m trying to make it for my kids as back to school treat. Quick question: for the chocolate is it 8 oz total chocolate, or each bar weighing 8oz for 48oz total?
I was shopping for these ingredients and ran into a snag. That seems like an enormous amount of chocolate if each of the 6 chocolate bars is 8 oz. each. That would be 3 pounds! Is that really what you mean?
Sorry – I see how what I wrote could be confusing. It is a total of 8 oz. of chocolate – the bars are 1.55 ounces!
This looks amazing but is it really 1000 calories and 61g of fat per piece (serving)? Please tell me that’s a typo and it’s really the total for the whole pie?
Carmen, Yummly calculates that so I’m not sure how they do it but it is a pretty light pie so I can’t believe it is per slice.
Hello I am making this for Thanksgiving. How long does it keep? could i make it today or wait till tomorrow to enjoy on Thursday?
Rachael, it would be fine made a day or so ahead of time.
Do you mean liquid whipping cream or a tub of whipped cream?
Jasmine, Whipping cream is the liquid cream that comes in the carton and that you have to whip is what you use, Not Cool Whip which I think is what you are referring to that comes in the tub.
On Smores pie, do you actually make whip cream, with powdered sugar and such? Or just whip the cream straight from the carton?? | 2019-04-26T12:27:17 | https://www.yourhomebasedmom.com/chocolate-smores-pie/ |
We have developed a first order logic that is sufficient to describe many things. The goal of this chapter is to discuss ways to extend and apply this logic. We will introduce relations and functions, make some interesting observations about identity, and discuss how to use multiple quantifiers.
Recall that if we have a predicate of arity greater than one, we sometimes call that a “relation”. An arity one predicate like “… is tall” does not relate things in our domain of discourse. Rather, it tells us about a property of a thing in our domain of discourse. But an arity two predicate like “… is taller than …” relates pairs of things in our domain of discourse.
More generally, we can think of a relation as a set of ordered things from our domain of discourse. An arity two relation is thus a collection of ordered pairs of things; the relation “…is taller than…” would be all the ordered pairs of things where the first is taller than the second. The predicate “… is taller than…” would be true of all these things. The relation “… sits between … and …” would be the collection of all the triples of things where the first sat between the second and third. The predicate “… sits between … and …” would be true of all of these things.
Logicians have developed a host of useful ways of talking about relations, especially relations between just two things. We can illustrate this with an example. Hospitals and other medical treatment facilities often need blood for transfusions. But not any kind of blood can do. One way to classify kinds of blood is using the ABO system. This divides kinds of blood into four groups: A, B, AB, and O. This classification describes antigens on the surface of the blood cells. It is a very useful classification, because some people have an immune system that will not tolerate the antigens on other kinds of blood. This tolerance is determined by one’s blood group.
Notice a number of things. First, every blood type can share blood with people of that blood type. But it is not always the case that if I can share blood with you, you can share blood with me: it could be that I am type O and you are type B. Also, if I can share blood with you, and you can share blood with Tom, then I can share blood with Tom.
Examples of reflexive relations in English include “…is as old as…”. Each person is as old as herself. A relation that is not reflexive is, “…is older than …”. No person is older than herself.
Examples of symmetric relations in English include “…is married to…”. In our legal system at least, if Pat is married to Chris, then Chris is married to Pat.
Examples of transitive relations in English include “…is older than…”. If Tom is older than Steve, and Steve is older than Pat, then Tom is older than Pat.
A moment’s reflection reveals this isn’t true. A person of type O can give blood to a person of type AB, but the person with type AB blood cannot give blood to the person with type O, without potentially causing a reaction. So G is not symmetric.
Finally, to determine if G is transitive, consider whether the following is true.
A person with type O blood can give blood to a person with type A blood, and that person can give blood to someone of type AB. Does it follow that the person with type O can give blood to the person with AB? It does. And similarly this is so for all other possible cases. G is a transitive relation.
A function is a kind of relation between two or more things. What all functions have in common is that they relate some specific number of things to precisely one thing. A familiar example from mathematics might be the squaring function. We write for this, n2. This takes one number, say 7, and then relates it to exactly one other number, 49. Or addition is a function that takes two numbers and relates them to exactly one other number, their sum.
Think of how you could use something like this in our logical language. You could say, “The father of Tom is Canadian”. But now, who is Canadian? Not Tom. Tom’s father is. In this sentence, “the father of…” acts as a function. It relates a person to another person. And, in our predicate, “the father of Tom” acts like a name, in that it refers to one thing.
Functions are surprisingly useful. Computers, for example, can be understood as function machines, and programming can be usefully described as the writing of functions for the computer. Much of mathematics is concerned with studying functions, and they often prove useful for studying other things in mathematics that are not themselves functions.
We can add functions to our logical language. We will let f, g, h, … be functions. Each function, as noted, has an arity. A function of arity n combined with n symbolic terms is a symbolic term.
fx: the father of x.
That works because the father of the father of Tom is the paternal grandfather of Tom, which then is a symbolic term, and we can apply the function to it. Recall that, when a rule can be applied repeatedly to its product, we call this “recursion”.
There is one predicate that has always been enormously useful, and which in most logical systems is singled out for special attention. This is identity.
Malcolm X is a great orator.
Malcolm X is Malcolm Little.
The last example is not very common in English usage, but it is grammatical. Here we see the “is” of existence. The sentence asserts that Malcolm X exists. In the first sentence, we would treat “…is a great orator” as an arity one predicate. The “is” is part of the predicate, and in our logic, cannot be distinguished from the predicate. But the second case uses the “is” of identity. It asserts that Malcolm X and Malcolm Little are the same thing.
And then we could say, whenever we write “α=β” we really mean “Iαβ”.
Note identity describes a relation that is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive. Everything is identical to itself. If a=b then b=a. And if a=b and b=c then a=c.
One special feature of identity is that we know that if two things are identical, then anything true of one is true of the other. In fact, the philosopher Leibniz defined identity with a principle that we call Leibniz’s Law: a and b are identical if and only if they have all and only the same properties. Our logic must take identity as a primitive, however, because we have no way in our logic of saying “all properties” (this is what “first order” in “first order logic” means: our quantifiers have only particular objects in their domain).
Where we replace one or more occurrences of α in Φ with β. We can call this rule, “indiscernibility of identicals”. We sometimes also call this, “substitution of identicals”.
This is an interesting kind of rule. Some logicians would call this a “non-logical rule”. The reason is, we know it is proper because we know the meaning of “=”. Unlike, for example, modus ponens, which identifies a logical relation between two kinds of sentences, this rule relies not on the semantics of a connective, but rather on the meaning of a predicate. This notion of “non-logical” is a term of art, but it does seem profound. Adding such rules to our language can strengthen it considerably.
We can see from these examples that there are interesting parallels between relations (including functions) and predicates. To represent some kind of function, we can introduce a function into our language, which acts as a special kind of symbolic term, but it is also possible to identify a predicate that is true of all and only those things that the function relates. Nonetheless, we must be careful to distinguish between predicates, which when combined with the appropriate number of names form a sentence; and functions, which when combined with the appropriate number of other terms are symbolic terms. In our logic, treating predicates like functions (that is, taking them as symbolic terms for other predicates) will create nonsense.
Every number is greater than or equal to some number.
Some number is greater than or equal to every number.
Every number is less than or equal to some number.
Some number is less than or equal to every number.
Depending upon our domain of discourse, some of these sentences are true, and some of them are false. Can we represent them in our logical language?
We can follow tradition, and use “≥”. Thus, when we write “α≥β” we understand that this is “Gαβ”. Let us also assume that our domain of discourse is the natural numbers. That is, we are talking only about 1, 2, 3, 4….
This raises important questions about how to interpret multiple quantifiers. Using multiple quantifiers expands the power of our language enormously. However, we must be very careful to understand their meaning.
Consider the following two sentences, which will use our key above.
As we understand the semantics of quantifiers, we will say that they do not. The basic idea is that we read the quantifiers from left to right. Thus, the first sentence above should be translated to English as “Every number is greater than or equal to some number”. The second sentence should be translated, “Some number is less than or equal to every number”. They have very different meanings. Depending upon our domain of discourse, they could have different truth values. For example, if we use the natural numbers as our domain of discourse, the first sentence is true and the second sentence is true. However, if we used the integers for our domain of discourse, so that we included negative numbers, then the first sentence is true but the second sentence is false.
It may be helpful to think of multiple quantifiers in the following way. If we were to instantiate the quantifiers, then, we would work from left to right. Thus, the first sentence says something like, pick any number in our domain of discourse, then there will be at least one number in our domain of discourse that is less than or equal to that first number that you already picked. The second sentence says something quite different: there is at least one number in our domain of discourse such that, if you pick that number, then any number in our domain of discourse is greater than or equal to it.
With this in mind, we are now able to translate the four phrases above. We include the English with the translation to avoid any confusion.
As we noted above, the truth value of these sentences can change if we change our domain of discourse. If our domain of discourse is the natural numbers, then only the second sentence is false; this is because for the natural numbers there is a least number (1), but there is no greatest number. But if our domain of discourse is the integers, then the second and fourth sentences are false. This is because with the negative numbers, there is no least number: you can always find a lesser negative number.
Hopefully it becomes very clear now why we need the possibility of a number of variables for our quantifiers. We could not write the expressions above if we did not have discernibly distinct variables to allow different quantifiers to bind different locations in the predicate.
It can be interesting to see a powerful use of multiple quantifiers. In 1905, the British philosopher Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) published a very insightful and influential paper, “On Denoting”. This paper, and additional work by Russell that followed it, made brilliant use of a series of problems in logic and language that perplexed Russell. Russell was concerned about a number of puzzles that arise around phrases like, “The current President of the United States…”. Such a phrase seems to act like a name, and yet a number of strange outcomes arise if we treat it as a name.
It is not the case that Sam is bald.
That seems correct, if we grant the premise that all those who are not bald have hair. But now consider the following sentence.
It is not the case that the present King of France is bald.
The present King of France has hair.
But that’s not right. There is no present King of France!
The present King of France does not exist.
This seems to pick out a thing, the present King of France, and ascribe to it a property, not existing. After all, in our logical language, each name must refer to something. But if we can pick out that thing in order to describe it as not existing, does it not exist? That is, is there not a thing to which the term refers?
Some philosophers indeed argued that every term, even in a natural language, must have a thing that it refers to. The philosopher Alexius Meinong (1853-1920), for example, proposed that every name has a referent that has being, but that existence was reserved for particular actual objects. This is very strange, when you consider it: it means that “the round square” refers to something, a something that has being, but that lacks existence. Russell thought this a terrible solution, and wanted to find another.
George IV wished to know whether Scott was the author of Waverley.
George IV wished to know whether Scott was Scott.
George IV already knows that Scott is Scott.
This says there is something—call it x for now—that is the present king of France, and that thing is bald, and if anything is the present king of France it is identical to x. This second clause is a way of saying that there is only one king of France, which is how Russell captures the meaning of “the” in “the present king of France”.
This sentence is false also. It cannot be used to conclude that there is a present king of France who is hirsute.
Note that there is no need in this formula for a name that refers to nothing. There is no name in this formula.
Russell has done something very clever. He found a way to interpret a phrase like “the present king of France” as a complex logical formula; such a formula can be constructed so that it uses no names to capture the meaning of the phrase. It is an interesting question whether Russell’s analysis should be interpreted as describing, in some sense, what is really inside our minds when we use a phrase like “The present king of France.” That’s perhaps an issue for cognitive scientists to settle. Our interest is that Russell inspires a new and flexible way to use first order logic to understand possible interpretations of these kinds of utterances.
Russell’s translations also suggest a surprising possibility: perhaps many names, or even all names, are actually phrases like these that are uniquely true of one and only one thing. That was of interest to philosophers who wanted to explain the nature of reference; it suggests that reference could be explained using the notion of a complex predicate expression being true of one thing. That is a radical suggestion, and one that Russell developed and defended. He proposed that the only names were the very basic primitive “this” and “that”. All other natural language names could then be analyzed into complex phrases like those above. This is an issue for the philosophy of language, and we will not consider it further here.
Russell’s insight is that if only one thing is Φ, then anything that turns out to be Φ must be the same one thing.
The first sentence says, there exists a thing x and a thing y such that x has property Φ and y has property Φ and x and y are not the same thing. This asserts there are at least two things that have property Φ. The second sentence says for any x, y, z, if each has the property Φ, that at least one of them is the same as the other. This asserts that there are at most two things that have property Φ.
Combine those with a conjunction, and you have the assertion at least two things are Φ, and at most two things are Φ. That is, there are exactly two things that are Φ.
That’s awkward, but it shows that we can express any particular quantity using our existing logical language. We will be able to say, for example, that there are exactly 17 things that are Φ. It is quite surprising to think that we do not need numbers to be able to express particular finite quantities, and that our logic is strong enough to do this.
For each of the following, describe whether the relation is reflexive, symmetric, or transitive. If it lacks any of these properties, give an example of where the property would fail for the relation. (That is, if you say a relation is not symmetric, for example, then give an example of an exception.) Assume a domain of discourse of humans.
Make your own key and then translate the following into our logical language. You should use a function in your translation of each sentence that has an implicit function.
The mother of Ludwig is musical.
Ludwig’s paternal grandmother is musical, but his maternal grandmother is not.
Ludwig’s father is taller than his mother.
Ludwig’s mother is not taller than Ludwig, or his father.
Ludwig’s mother is not Ludwig’s father.
No one is the mother of everyone.
Provide your own key and translate the following into our logic. This will require multiple quantifiers.
Everyone is friends with someone.
Someone is friends with someone.
Someone is friends with everyone.
Everyone is friends with everyone.
No one is friends with everyone.
Use Russell’s interpretation to translate the following expressions. Make your own key.
The Emperor of New York is rotund.
The Emperor of New Jersey is not rotund.
The Emperor of New York is not the Emperor of New Jersey.
There is no Emperor of New York but there is an Emperor of New Jersey.
There are two and only two Emperors of New York.
Use our logic to express the claim: exactly three things have property F. | 2019-04-26T13:36:21 | https://milnepublishing.geneseo.edu/concise-introduction-to-logic/chapter/15-relations-functions-identity-and-multiple-quantifiers/ |

Adding a website to Google Search Engine is highly important for every website. Why? This is the only way for your website to be seen by all Google’s users. There are few ways to do it.
There are few methods that can be used to do it. Some of them are based on waiting until Google does it itself. Then it doesn’t actively concern you, you don’t have to do anything but wait until Google finds your website and adds it to the database (Google Public DNS). Unfortunately you can lose precious time. It can take up to 30 days till your page will be recognized. Can you afford it?
You can speed up the procedure a little bit by including links to the newly created page in posts on social network forums. It will hasten the whole process.
If you have no time to waste you can do it yourself instead of giving your interests in someone else’s hands. And it is super easy. Another method is to use the tools offered by Google, like the form, which is a part of Google Webmaster Tools.
It is available free of charge to anyone who owns Google account, uses Gmail or YouTube. All Google services are interconnected, so you only need one active service in order to benefit from Google’s additional tools. As you can see above the form is easy to fill up. Just the url address of the website is needed and confirmation that you are not a robot. That’s it. It works quickly. Usually in the matter of seconds you receive Google answer that the website was added (if everything went ok). Congratulations! It means that your website is now out there in the Internet available to be seen and waiting to be found.
Of course Google informs us that the procedure may take some time. As I said above usually it doesn’t take long but it doesn’t mean that it will always happens without any problems. Google protects it’s right to refuse any motion. It is written that not all url addresses will be added and it may take some time. You have to be aware of that there is a chance that the process will fail.
Tell me if you find it useful. Maybe you have other experiences with procedure described above? | 2019-04-20T07:01:54 | http://www.advertangle.com/adding-a-website-to-google-search-engine/ |

The first time it compiled the shaders it took like almost an hour. Now it loads up to 46% in about 10 seconds, then slows waay down and the rest takes about 20 minutes plus. I have tried backing up the cache in the GLcache folder and then copying and pasting it back but that doesn't seem to do anything. Still loads to 46% fast, then slows painfully down. This is frustrating as im still trying to get the game to run at a stable 30fps, and having to restart the game to change setting is extremely irritating. Anything I might be missing? Thanks.

Are you using cemu 1.12.0?
Hi, yes I am and i fixed the problem. It had to do with my dual monitors. I was opening the game then switching to my second monitor, if I just start the game on the monitor I want to use it loads fast. Weird, but it loads fast now. Thanks for the reply.
Not getting a consistent 30 fps but I do believe that if i upgrade my graphics card it will go faster. I plan on getting a Sapphire Radeon NITRO RX 580 8GB.
I have an amd GPU right now, besides the low FPS (16-18 fps when in towns or outside, 30 in dungeons and stuff.) I haven't had any issues with stuttering thankfully. Its pretty darn playable as of right now, but would like to play it with better FPS.
Hardly would it ever dip below 30. In fact, I don't think I can remember a time it ever dipped below 30; can't say the same for 1.13.1.
Hi yes, I upgraded my graphics card and im still getting framerates in the 16-20 range, so I'm thinking its my settings. I followed a tutorial to get started but I may still need to tweak some settings. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
I upgraded to an rx 580 8 GB, my cpu is 8370 clocked at 4.3, and I have 16 GB of ram, that should be enough to run it at least at 30 FPS if not more right? Keep in mind I'm not experience stuttering, just frame rate is low. Also I have the necessary graphics packs, cemuhook and everything I need to get this game running faster. Maybe there are some tweaks or settings I'm missing.

This Article examines the role of race ideology in the enforcement of antidiscrimination laws. Professor Hernandez demonstrates the ways in which the U.S. race ideology is slowly starting to resemble the race ideology of much of Latin America. The evolving U.S. race ideology is a multiracial matrix made up of four precepts: (1) racial mixture and diverse racial demography will resolve racial problems; (2) fluid racial classification schemes are an indicator of racial progress and the colorblind abolition of racial classifications an indicator of absolute racial harmony; (3) racism is solely a phenomenon of aberrant racist individuals; and (4) focusing on race is itself racist. Because the multiracial matrix parallels much Latin American race discourse, Professor Hernandez conducts a comparative analysis between U.S. and Latin American anti-discrimination law enforcement practices. Professor Hernandez concludes that the new race ideology bolsters the maintenance of race hierarchy in a racially diverse population. Consequently, an uncritical embrace of the new race ideology will hinder the enforcement of antidiscrimination laws in the United States. Professor Hernandez proposes that a greater focus on racism as a global issue that treats race as a political identity formation will assist in the recognition of the civil rights dangers of a multiracial matrix. | 2019-04-18T21:23:23 | https://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/faculty_scholarship/15/ |
Apparently 03/04 cobras are cheaper and get better gas mileage?
Cuz I'll know my car is fast instead of having to prove it to myself by flooring it, thus saving gas! And cheaper, well yeah whatever!
Wow. By saying that you're getting ready for college... you just let potential buyers know you are young. Which always has the stigma of a young kid hot rodding the *beep* out of the car.
Why even mention that? They don't care. Discuss the car not yourself.

Eventually they will have to meet me to see the car so they're gonna know I'm young. I figure it's better to say that that way they know my reason for selling.
Ebay local adds are F F F F F REEEEEEE!
What would you guys say i should say for my reason for selling is then?
Should I say I'm selling it to buy my dad's friends '70 stang? Cuz then they realize I'm not looking for faster stuff and that I actually want a nice car to take care of ehh?
Why are you so hung up on giving a reason? You want a different car, case closed.
You don't have to give a reason for selling. All they need to know is details about the car not what your deep personal motivations are.
+1. You want potential buyers to know and trust who they're about to fork over $18.5K to; what better way to earn their trust than by full disclosure? It's nothing less than candidates for public office must go through.

Hotels … Some of our best memories about going on vacation and places we’ve stayed have a lot to do with the hotel we were at.
Hotels can offer us anything and everything we’re looking for in a vacation: A beautiful room with a view, a romantic getaway, pools that disappear into the sunset, and restaurants that serve food better than anything we’ve ever eaten.
… or they can end up being a total bust – the equivalent to camping indoors. Dirty sheets, a shady location, and absolutely no service.
Having traveled a lot over the past decade (both as a family and for business), here are 34 helpful tips I can share of ways to save money on hotels. With just a few small strategies, it can be the difference between just renting a room and being treated like royalty!
In case you didn’t know this, rates change daily for hotel rooms (just like they do for airplane flights). For example, to fill vacant rooms that didn’t sell, many hotels will often slash their typical prices by half. That means huge savings for you if you can be flexible. The same is true for off season or mid-week.
It’s often the case that if you try a bunch of different popular travel websites, you’re going to find differences in the prices they offer. Use this to your advantage.
3. Read the bad reviews.
Reviews are so helpful whenever you’re going to travel. I generally use TripAdviser. One thing I like to do is automatically skip right to the bad ones and see if I can spot any trends such as dirty rooms, lousy service, etc. If anything stands out as a red flag, then we move on and keep looking.
Pretty much every major hotel chain these days has some type of membership program or another. Be sure to sign up for the hotel reward program of any hotel you’re interested in staying at and get your points. This will come in helpful later when you go to do travel hacking with your credit cards.
If you can help it, try to stick to one hotel chain. That way you’ll build up your rewards points faster.
6. Google promos or coupon codes before buying.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone to book a hotel, and then said to myself: Wait a minute, let me see if I can find a promo code. Boom! Another 10% off just like that. Before you book any hotel, assume that there is going to be some type of deal or another going.
7. Follow the hotel on social media.
What’s an easy way to get the latest deals? Follow the hotel you’re thinking about on social media. It’s becoming more and more common to find the latest deals there.
8. Do you take AAA?
Are you a AAA member or have some other group affiliation? Use group discounts to lower your price.
9. Transfer your credit card points.
One not very well known way to pay for hotels is to see if the one you’re considering staying at has an affiliation with your credit card points. My Chase Ultimate Rewards points transfers to Hyatt hotels and several other chains at a ratio of 1:1.
10. Open a new credit card.
Consider opening a credit card that specifically awards you free nights or a generous amount of points as the introductory offer that you can use toward the hotel of your choice.
11. Are you already a status member?
Check to see if your current credit card already elevates you for certain status discounts with the hotel you’re interested in. With our Chase credit cards, we’re automatically already higher ranking members with some chains.
Once you’re sure you know where you want to stay, try calling the hotel directly. Sometimes they will give you a deal that wasn’t advertised, or they might be able to throw in extras that usually cost more.
If you do call the hotel, see if they will price match a comparable hotel in the area.
14. Can you cancel for free?
Make sure the hotel offers free cancellation. In case you do have to change your plans, you shouldn’t get charged for it.
15. Ground view is fine.
Skip paying more for the view. Usually its not worth it.
16. Skip paying more for the suite.
Suites are nice, but you’re not going to be living there. It’s just a few nights.
17. Skip paying more for the Jacuzzi room.
18. Find a hotel that offers free breakfast.
When vacationing with the family, finding a place that offers free breakfast is a huge help to the budget. It takes care of one-third of your meals for the day. Lots of popular hotels now offer this as a perk. Be sure to look for it.
19. Don’t pay extra for the breakfast.
If breakfast isn’t automatically included but can be added for an extra charge, then forget it. Most of the time it will be $10 or more person, and you can easily find cheaper breakfasts outside of the hotel.
20. Get breakfast to go.
If breakfast IS included but you’ll be missing it due to your schedule, see if the hotel can pack you a “to-go” box. I used this service at a Hilton on a business trip to England and it was awesome!
21. Skip buying snacks from the hotel lobby.
They are usually way over priced for the convenience.
22. Don’t get tricked into eating the snacks in the room.
You can do better than $5 for a bag of peanuts.
23. Avoid eating at the hotel restaurant.
Eating at the restaurant is very easy to do, especially if you’re in a new area that you don’t know very well. But you’ll end up paying for it because the meals are usually much more expensive. And in my opinion, they also usually don’t taste that great anyways.
24. Never pay for room service.
Unless you like paying $20 for two eggs and dry toast (true story).
25. Find a hotel that has free WiFi.
If you’re looking at a hotel that doesn’t offer free WiFi, skip it. These days (especially with the wife and kids), having full, uninhibited access to the Internet is a must!
26. Find a hotel with a pool.
If you have kids, then you know this one is a must. Kids LOVE pools! It will keep them entertained for hours.
27. Find a hotel that has free parking.
This is another “we gocha!” type of charge that I hate. If the hotel you’re considering charges for parking, move on. There are plenty that don’t.
28. Check in as late as your schedule permits.
Often, you’ll have better odds of getting a free upgrade.
29. Bring something to do at night.
Instead of wasting $50 at the hotel bar at night, find something better to do with your time like watch Netflix or read a good book.
30. Never buy in-room movies.
Watch Netflix or the Internet instead.
If you’re staying at a hotel that’s near an airport specifically because you’re going to fly out the next day, see if they’ve got a deal to bundle your hotel and parking together.
32. Shuttle to the airport.
While you’re at it, if you’re staying a hotel near the airport, try to get a hotel that offers a free shuttle to the airport. You’ll save on taxi or rental car fees.
33. Skip the hotel altogether.
Consider alternative to hotels like AirBNB or VRBO.
34. Don’t go “too cheap”.
Remember the old rule that if something seems too good to be true, then it probably is. Getting eaten up by bed bugs is not going to be worth the savings.

Good points! It’s important to find the small little extras that’ll make your life easier, like free wifi. Being a member of a group does score you some great discounts as well. Look up any type of member discounts, even with your credit card–you could qualify for better rates.
What’s interesting is that most of the time to become a member its free. So you get better deals, rates, and perks – all for just basically giving them your email address. Sign me up! | 2019-04-24T12:36:58 | http://1000waystosave.com/ways-to-save-money-on-hotels/ |
Jag hittade några dumle i skafferiet och beslöt mig för att testa dem traditionella chocolate chip cookies. Det var helt klart rätt beslut.
Hacka dumlen grovt, ta inte för många då kolan gör att kakorna flyter ut. Blanda ner i smeten.
Grädda kakorna mitt i ugnen i ca 10 minuter. Låt dem kallna på plåten.
I found some dumle-toffees in the pantry and decided to add them in a traditional chocolate chip cookies. It was clearly the right decision.
Chop toffee rough, do not take too many when the school makes the cookies flows. Mix the batter.
Roll about 24 balls and put them thinly on trays with baking paper.
Bake the cookies in the oven for about 10 minutes. Let them cool on the baking sheet.

Keep money in your community — Going local first keeps almost 70% of your money in the local economy.
Your community is unique – celebrate it — Here’s the thing: if you go into a big chain department store, you could just as easily be in Tallahassee, Florida or Boise, Idaho. Spend local and you’re embracing your community’s unique identity.
Get way better service — A local business is much more concerned about your customer experience, and keeping you happy.
Better selection for you — Local business tries harder to meet your particular needs – they don’t rely on a national sales plan.
More local ownership and jobs — Study after study shows that local small business is the greatest source of job creation. So why wouldn’t we encourage more local start-ups?
Help out the environment — This is a biggie – less transportation, lower energy and fuel costs, less excessive packaging… you get the idea.
Support community groups — Did you know non-profits receive an average of 350% more support from local businesses than they do from non-locally owned businesses.
Better use of community space — We know big boxes can be highly attractive but… Wouldn’t it be better to have more local businesses that can make use of existing empty space in a heritage building downtown?
Better public services — More local businesses mean a stronger tax base, and that pays for better public services for your family. | 2019-04-25T04:52:18 | http://www.tenpercentshift.ca/2016/08/29/top-10-reasons-for-shifting-local/ |

A case of amebic meningoencephalitis recognized in an adult Zambian is described. This is the first authenticated case from Africa. The morphologic features of the organism, its ability to form cysts in tissue, and the granulomatous tissue response denote that the ameba is an hartmannellid rather than a Naegleria. Free-living amebas of the family Hartmannellidae have not been incriminated before as a cause of primary amebic meningoencephalitis in man. To our knowledge this is the only case where such an ameba was responsible for fulminating meningoencephalitis. The presence of the amebas in a cellulocutaneous abdominal lesion suggests hematogenous dissemination. | 2019-04-21T05:14:16 | https://experts.mcmaster.ca/display/publication902676 |
When a gym plays host to dozens of elite level fighters it often finds several of their fighters fighting around the same time. As the budding Woman’s division flourishes, so does the culture in Albuquerque where so many of those female athletes train. The Jackson-Winklejohn camp is home to several prominent and notable women combat athletes highlighted by renowned boxing world champion and MMA fighter Holly Holm. While she may be the most notable name of the bunch, she is complimented very well by several other top level fighters.
And several of them will make their appearances in competition this month under a promotion that is strictly ran for women fighters.
Starting April with momentum for Woman’s MMA buzz, the all female promotion Invicta will put on its fifth show. Invicta 5 will take place on April 5th; inside the Ameristar Casino Hotel, in Kansas City, Missouri. There will be three fighters on the card who will be representing the Jackson-Winklejohn camp, starting on the undercard with an emerging prospect in the atomweight 105-pound division.
Jodie Esquibel (3-0 pro, 1-0 amateur) will put her unblemished record on the line against Australian Alex Chambers (3-1). Esquibel most recently fought on the previous Invicta event where she would impressively best Liz McCarthy in a split decision victory that really helped Esquibel emerge as a fighter to keep an eye on.
Sarah Kaufman (15-2), currently training out of Albuquerque by way of the Zugec Ultimate Martial Arts gym in Victoria, British Colombia, Canada is scheduled to make her much anticipated return to action. Her last fight was under the Strikeforce banner, fighting for the promotions title against current UFC Champion Ronda Rousey. While she lost via submission in the first round, Kaufman is still regarded as one of the top women fighters in the world.
Standing in the way of redemption will be Cesar Gracie’s Leslie Smith (5-2) who is coming off a very impressive dismantling of Raquel Pennington at Invicta 4. Kaufman is currently signed to the UFC but a loss here could really hurt her stock. Smith is looking for an opportunity while Kaufman is looking to right her ship on the way to her UFC debut.
The most significant fight on the card however is the main event which will have the Invicta Atomweight Title on the line. Albuquerque’s Michelle Waterson (10-3) will challenge promotion champion Jessica Penne (10-1).
The “Karate Hottie” is finally getting her chance atop the sport and her division after a 6-year career competing as a martial artist. While marriage and motherhood have made the climb to this point a little longer then many expected due to Waterson’s elite talent level, she is now one fight away from the pinnacle of the 105-pound Woman’s division. Waterson is coming off her very impressive Invicta debut where she beat Lacey Schuckman. While her striking is crisp and solid, Waterson has finished six of ten victories by way of submission so expect a prepared challenger to give the champ all she has to offer.
Penne is on a tear right now currently riding a three fight win streak all by TKO or submission. Included in that run was her triangle choke finish of Naho Sugiyama at the third Invicta show to capture the 105-pound division title. Penne trains out of Huntington Beach, California and brings into the cage a powerful skill set that has allowed her to dominate in the grappling game. Identical to Waterson, Penne has finished six of ten victories by way of submission.
The fight is very significant in that it would be the most prolific woman’s MMA title ever to be brought into the accolade heavy Jackson-Winklejohn gym. Waterson has long been one of the constants amongst that gym and is one of the more recognizable and marketable fighters training out of New Mexico.
Stay tuned to SWFight.com for Invicta 5 updates and results featuring the three local athletes and as always fight fans make sure to show and send your support to the hard working fighters making the trip to Kansas City. | 2019-04-18T20:30:37 | http://swfight.com/2013/04/04/big-night-for-new-mexicos-women-fighters-at-invicta-5-on-april-5th/ |
По случаю 100-й годовщины Геноцида армян в Армению прибыли являющиеся турками и курдами по национальности члены организации «Союз против Геноцида». Их сегодня на пресс-конференции представил публицист, общественный деятель Саркис Ацпанян.
По его словам, они каждый год организуют различные мероприятия в память жертв Геноцида армян в Османской империи 1915 года.
«Организация „Союз против Геноцида” признает и осуждает Геноцид армян, а от Турции требует признания и компенсации», – сообщил Саркис Ацпанян.
Член «Союза против геноцида», турок по национальности Али Эртем в свою очередь назвал позором тот факт, что Турция организовала торжества по случаю столетия победы в битве при Галлиполи 24 апреля 2015 года – в день 100-й годовщины Геноцида армян в Османской империи.
Тем самым, как отметил Али Эртем, Турция показала свою бесчеловечность. С его мнение согласился и другой член организации – Реджеп Марашл, назвав данный шаг Анкары «абсурдным».
Известно, что факт Геноцида армян в Османской империи 1915г. (Armenian Genocide) признан многими государствами. Первым это в 1965 году сделал Уругвай, примеру которого последовали Россия (1995г.), Франция (1998г.), Италия (2000г.), Нидерланды (2004г.), Бельгия (1998г.), Польша (2005г.), Литва (2005г.), Словакия (2004г.), Швеция (2010г.), Швейцария (2003г.), Греция (1999г.), Кипр (1975г.), Ливан (1997г.), Канада (1996г.), Венесуэла (2005г.), Аргентина (2004г.), Чили (2007г.), Ватикан (2000г.), Боливия (2014г.), Австрия (2015). Геноцид армян признали также Европейский парламент и Всемирный совет церквей. Официально признали и осудили Геноцид армян, а также объявили 24 апреля Днем памяти жертв Геноцида армянского народа 43 из 50 штатов США. Парламентами нескольких европейских стран приняты законы предусматривающие уголовную ответственность за отрицание Геноцида армян. Однако Турция по-прежнему отрицает массовое убийство армянского населения Османской империи во время Первой мировой войны (в канун Первой мировой войны в Османской империи жило два миллиона армян, около 1,5 млн. армян было уничтожено за период с 1915 до 1923 года, оставшиеся полмиллиона армян были рассеяны по всему миру).
Турецкий публицист: Призраки 1,5 млн. жертв Геноцида армян будут сопровождать Эрдогана и диктатора-Алиева 24 апреля 2015г.
The final chapter of the genocide that swept Turkey at the beginning of the 20th century was written in Smyrna, one of the richest and most cosmopolitan cities of the Ottoman Empire.
It was there, in Smyrna, where a small-town minister from upstate New York put together one of the most astonishing rescues in history. He saved the lives of tens of thousands of Christian women and children.
His name was Asa Kent Jennings, and he is worth remembering now at the centennial of the Armenian genocide. His memory is also timely now that the problem of Christian persecution has arisen again in the Mideast and refugees are flooding out of Africa seeking safety in Europe.
Jennings was an unlikely hero. Barely over 5 feet tall with a crooked back that was an artifact of a bout with tuberculosis, Jennings had only recently arrived as an employee of the YMCA, which had a chapter in the city.
The time was September 1922, and the Turkish nationalist army had entered the city and soon set to slaughtering its Christian residents — both Armenians and Greeks. Tens of thousands of refugees who had fled the country’s interior ahead of the Turkish army were packed in the city’s streets and churchyards and along its waterfront.
On September 13, the Armenian section of the city was afire — probably to dispose of the corpses that lay in the streets — and soon the fire spread to the rest of Smyrna. The city was a hell of heat and Turkish brutality for the helpless people gathered there. Nearly all of the refugees were pushed to a narrow band of pavement of the city’s Quay between the fire and the sea.
Ironically, warships from Britain, the United States, France and Italy were in Smyrna’s harbor at the time of slaughter and fire and at first chose not to get involved. Eventually, the British saved a few thousands as the fire pushed the refugees into the sea, but when the fire died down, the rescue effort ended. About 80 percent of the city had been destroyed.
Hundreds of thousands of pitiful people were left to die on the city’s waterfront. Soon, hunger, thirst and disease began to take their tolls.
The situation seemed hopeless. There were no ships available or willing them to transport the people from Smyrna, and the Turkish army began marching them into the interior, where they would be killed or often marched until exhaustion took their lives.
Then, incredibly, Jennings, who had set up a First-Aid station for pregnant women in an abandoned house on the waterfront, went into action. He later said that he had felt the hand of God on his shoulder.
The next several days would make history. Using a bribe, a lie and ultimately an empty threat, Jennings was able to assemble a fleet of ships and to enlist the help of the US Navy in a rescue plan. With the assistance of a brave young naval officer, who was skirting his orders, the Jennings evacuation removed a quarter-million refugees from Smyrna to the Greek islands and the cities of Piraeus and Salonika in only seven days. It was just in time to meet a Turkish deadline for their removal from the city or face deportations.
Strangely, Jennings’ story is mostly unknown to Americans, and he stands as one of the humanitarian heroes of the 20th century. Jennings, who died in 1933, remains a testament to the power of compassion in action. He had a courageous willingness to come to the aid of people in distress — people who are the victims of religious intolerance and war — qualities that would be welcome today.
Asa Jennings’ story is told in the new book, The Great Fire: One American’s Mission to Rescue Victims of the 20th Century’s First Genocide, published by HarperCollins. | 2019-04-23T22:25:35 | https://arm-world.ru/news/novostnik/2395-pribyvshie-v-armeniyu-chleny-soyuz-protiv-genocida-nazvali-pozornym-i-absurdnym-reshenie-ankary-provesti-torzhestva-24-aprelya.html |

Beautiful house very clean grandchildren enjoyed the garden.
Beautifully decorated for Christmas & an amazing welcome gift including a Christmas cake & doggy treats. They had even left Christmas dog blankets on the dog beds, what a lovely touch. Thank you for making our holiday extra special. Stalham is lovely too, such friendly people & nice shops.
Completely dog friendly, beautifully decorated and furnished with everything you could possibly need to make your stay comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable. Great location, and as we stayed just before Christmas it was tastefully decorated with festive gestures. The welcome treat package was thoughtful. There was not one thing that was wrong and we will certainly stay there again. Would give this property a 5 star rating, especially as we also had our own parking space. Thank you.
It's beautifully furnished and has everything you need in abundance. Beds are so comfy, fantastic garden room. Shame it wasn't the summer as would have loved to make use of the garden. The drive says only parking for 1 car but we managed to get 2 large cars on there no problem. It really was a home from home and will definitely be back at some point.
The dog was very pleased with his own welcome pack, the comfortable bed, throws and super large secure garden. This is a real gem and well worth a visit 5 stars from us.
Welcoming gifts of wines and cake plus biscuits etc for our dog. Sea Palling only 4 miles away where you can alwats walk dogs on the beach and well placed for visits to Cromer and other attractions in the area. Sadly the only drawback was the loud clunks and bangs coming from the fibreglass roof in the main room where we had to stay with our Westie (it explained these in the guest handbook) particularly in the evening and at night when the temperature changed. These were very disconcerting to us and made our dog very anxious so unfortunately we shall not be staying there again. I certainly think any one with a dog or of a nervous disposition should be prewarned about this before booking.
The house was well equipped and very clean and a welcome pack of essentials was waiting for us. The nearby town Stalham had some good shops and further out we found some great quality farm shops. Coastal results were easily accessed from Stalham and we would highly recommend staying at the house.
Such a shame the local park didn't allow dogs.
Really dog friendly. Lovely clean and bright. Going again in September. Statham is very neutral for all areas of Norfolk on the east side.
The cottage is also located in a central position for the coast or the Broads. I would highly recommend this cottage.
!!!!! Would not change a thing everything was just perfect will definitely stay there again.
Location perfect for long dog walks returning to cosy home where from arrive you are all made welcome, treats for dogs, comfy dog beds and also welcome treat for us. The cottage is a tardis, we have three large dogs and we loads of space. Garden is totally secure. Location perfect with all amenities whilst retaining village feel. For treat try the chippy and the cinnamon curry take away. Owner was lovely and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful relaxing week away.
Tastefully decorated and extremely well equipped for families and furry friends!
This beautifully presented cottage is situated in the village of Stalham, offering a pleasant and comfortable stay all year round.
Walk in through the entrance hall and over to the open plan sitting room that has been divided into two halves, one being home to a wood burner and the other an electric fire.
You will look forward to returning home and cosying up next to the open fires.
Leading off from this, a ground floor shower room is complete to a high standard, with lovely features so that you can get ready in style ahead of your day.
The kitchen with dining area is a lovely room, nearly 30’ long, with country cream units, housing built-in appliances and a breakfast bar for those early morning cups of tea, as well as a dining area ideal for enjoying a home-cooked evening meal.
Here you can rest on the comfortable sofa and admire the garden through the patio doors, whilst socialising with your loved ones.
Take the stairs and you will arrive at two double bedrooms promising a peaceful night's sleep, along with a twin bedroom suitable for the children.
A family bathroom compliments the layout well.
The garden is fully enclosed, therefore pet friendly and boasts an outside seating area for alfresco dining, as well as a summerhouse for embracing some quiet time.
There are several beaches between 8 to 15 minutes away; Eccles, Sea Palling and Happisburgh, great for taking a stroll or walking your dog.
There is a small market which comes to the town on Tuesdays and a farmers’ market on every other Saturday, as well as regular shopping in the town hall.
Just a few miles inland from fantastic beaches, this is a perfect base for exploring the Norfolk Broads and coastline.
Sitting room with electric fire and woodburner.
The market town of Stalham, with its well-stocked high street with a good range of shops and eateries, is a typical North Norfolk town. There is a small market which comes to the town on Tuesdays and a farmers’ market on every other Saturday, as well as regular sales in the town hall. Stalham is one of the major starting points of Norfolk Broads boating holidays and a museum to give you an insight in to the Broadland environment is a must. Just a few miles inland from fantastic beaches, this is a perfect base for exploring the Norfolk Broads and coastline. | 2019-04-21T23:03:27 | https://www.sykescottages.co.uk/cottage/Norfolk-Manor-Ho/Nuholme-968036.html |
Allscripts Touchworks EHR stores the dictionaries within TWAdmin instead of using System Administration (SA) in previous versions. This page is a listing of the available dictionaries with links to their definitions and use.
Each dictionary has the following buttons. Note that if the button is grayed out in a specific dictionary, then it is not applicable to that dictionary.
Add - Allows administrators to add additional items to selected dictionary.
Report - Opens the reporting page, from which administrators can run reports, export and print data from within the associated dictionary.
Search - Allows administrators to search for items within a selected dictionary, rather than scrolling through the entire dictionary.
Allscripts Touchworks EHR Dictionaries come predefined in a lot of cases. It is recommended that if you are adding to a dictionary and the code or mnemonic is not meant to match a 3rd party vendors system that each code or mnemonic is prefaced with the client mnemonic. For example, if your company name is New World Healthcare and you are adding an entry to the pharmacy dictionary, the recommendation would be to make the code "NWA123". This allows you to easily identify delivered items versus customer defined items.

A couple of weeks ago, the recording industry (i.e. Recording Industry Association of America) agreed not to pursue a law that would require new electronics to be equipped with DRM (the “Fritz chip”) and the computer industry (“Business Software Alliance, which has Microsoft, Apple Computer and Adobe among its members”) agreed not to pursue a law that would ensure consumers’ fair use rights (such as Rick Boucher’s bill).
This was an agreement between consortia of big corporations agreeing not to use their pet congressmen against one another.

*1. Describe the problem. Are there any error messages you can paste? Can you provide a screenshot of the problem (with sensitive information removed)?
I am sorry to open this issue again. My core memory is full again.
I made sure to install miniconda3 on a volume so that the core memory is spared from getting full.
My IP address is [email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) and its the Kraken VM.
I would suggest storing all of your data on a mountable volume rather than on the default boot volume. The mountable volumes can be sufficiently large in order to deal with your analysis. Details on how to create and attach a volume can be found here - Creating and attaching volumes using Horizon.
yes thank you for the suggestion. I do this every time. However, now it is now so full, I cannot even open .bashrc to check my settings.
Can you please help me in freeing up some space so that I can access the basic files.
You are going to need to delete some files from the boot volume in order to have sufficient memory available to do anything. If you have any data on there you can do without then I would copy it to a large mounted volume.
If conda is the issue and it is installed on a separate, non-boot, volume (volume_5?) then that might be the problem. If that volume is full then I would recommend making a larger volume 1-2Tb and reinstalling conda on said volume.
I am sorry for not able to understand. I dont know what files to delete. From the du -h -s *, there are no files that are greater than 1 Mb. I am not sure what is taking up all this space. How can I check the file sizes of everything in the boot volume?
I have 5 volumes attached to this VM. The miniconda is found in volume2 which is located in /mnt/volume2. The volume5 is a volume attached, do you think if this is taking up all the space?
I had a problem with my boot volume expanding and Maciej could log into my VM and identified miniconda as the problem. This problem was rectified by moving miniconda to volume2.
Is it possible for you to log into this Vm and help me fix this.
Your core VM is completely full and sshd will now refuse to start. It looks like you rebooted your instance and it has failed to reboot, as it is entirely full. You will need to make a new clean VM and transfer your volumes over to it. This should resolve the issue you are having in this thread - Core VM is full again.
I started a new VM and aded all my volumes to that VM.
Excellent. I am glad we could help. | 2019-04-21T14:55:16 | https://discourse.climb.ac.uk/t/core-vm-is-full-again/858 |

My husband asks me if “Taft” is actually a legit American president.
I shrug and head for Wikipedia. Several seconds later, we learn that William Howard Taft was the 27th President of the United States. And that his name is linked with “fattest presidents” and “bathtub”. I feel strangely enriched. Thanks Subwords.
A blend between trivia, word games and frantic button pushing, Subwords involves putting together words that have been broken up into parts. Each level offers words pertaining to a topic such as “Animals” or “Egyptian Mythology”. So putting the words back together requires you to have a good general knowledge of these topics. If you’re stuck, a handy hint button gives you a clue as to the next thing you should be searching for.
It would be forgivable to think that Subwords is just too easy. It looks pretty in a preschool pastel-ly sort of way. The popping sounds that accompany each selection are super cute. The buttons are so large that even people with fat-finger syndrome aren’t going to complain. And it’s so easy that it doesn’t even have, or need, a tutorial. You jump in the game and instinctively know what to do. Personally, I think this is just a sign of a well-designed game.
It also starts you off at the super lightweight level: Vegetables. I have to admit that putting together words like “carrot” and “pea” made me wonder if I was the wrong age for this game. Fast forward to a few days later when I’m in “Chemical Elements” and struggling to recall the Periodic Table. Or in “Our Solar System” waiting for that hint button to come off cooldown because I’m finding that, when it comes to stars and planets, I’m an absolute noob.
But I keep going because the pub quiz geek in me really loves putting my general knowledge to the test. My favourite has to be “Classical Composers”, which I’ve played so many times in “Classic” and “Timed” mode that I now know all the composers in the mix. In “Classic”, you’re simply presented with all the word parts and you’re timed on how long it takes you to clear the screen. “Timed” however brings a more challenging flavour. You’re given one minute to see how many words you can put together. Also, you’re not guaranteed to have all the parts you need to form a word. But you just have to keep forming full words to get more parts to fall from the sky. And just to keep you coming back for more, there’s a leaderboard which pits you against the rest of the Subwords geeks. Good scores also earn you more stars which you’ll need to unlock later levels.
If you find that that’s still too easy, how about playing it in German? Yup, Subwords allows you to play it auf Deutsch. As someone who studied German extensively as a youngster, I was pretty excited by this option. I’m really hopeful that Subwords might offer other languages in the future as it’d be a great way to brush up on all those unused language skills.
If I were to change anything, I wish that Subwords didn’t tell you that you’re “awesome” no matter how badly you do at the end of each round. It feels encouraging when you actually have done well, but when all you’ve done is panic button pushing, it doesn’t feel like you’ve earned that praise at all. I also wish that using the hint button in Classic mode had some kind of time penalty to it, especially when there is a leaderboard available. Okay, maybe I’m just a sucker for punishment.
I did manage to find a new level of fun playing cooperatively with a partner so that there were two pairs of eyes and double the amount of high fives when we’d manage to beat a previous record. Some might call this cheating, but I called it “date night” and it was strangely exhilarating. Hey, don’t judge until you try it.
In the end, Subwords falls into what boardgamers like to call a “beer and pretzels” game. It’s not going to be deep enough to occupy all your gaming time, especially when you’ve unlocked all 25 levels, but it is a great one to pull out as a time filler now and then. | 2019-04-20T21:20:42 | http://prettymuchgeeks.com/subwords/ |

We all have different ideas about what makes a person beautiful, but you can bet that a gorgeous smile is high on the list. Dr. Angela Ganjoor, a Celina, TX cosmetic dentist, provides several treatment options designed to enhance or altogether transform your teeth into the smile you’ve always wanted. Better still, it’s possible to do so without breaking the bank. Here, she outlines smile-enhancing treatments for every budget.
Teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental treatment in the country, a fact that Dr. Ganjoor attributes to its affordability and accessibility. Compared to over-the-counter whitening toothpaste and rinses, professional treatment delivers more consistent, noticeable results while avoiding problems like tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. We offer two options, allowing you to whiten your teeth quickly in our office or in the comfort of your home. Teeth whitening is ideal for light to moderate staining, such as discoloration caused by coffee, tobacco, or red wine.
Sometimes whitening isn’t enough to restore your smile to its full potential. Snap-On Smile, an affordable alternative to veneers, does more than just cover resilient stains. Like veneers, Snap-On Smile subtly masks cracks, chips, and oddly spaced teeth. Some patients use Snap-On Smile as a trial run before investing in veneers. The thin, flexible prosthetic fits snugly over the top or bottom arch so that your own teeth are all but hidden. It’s perfect for those who want beautiful teeth but are not yet ready to invest several thousands of dollars.
The Holy Grail of cosmetic dentistry, porcelain veneers can be seen on red carpets, runways, political fundraisers, and sold-out concerts—anywhere in the spotlight. Carefully sculpted from ultra-thin layers of translucent porcelain, each veneer has the ability to improve the shape, size, and shade of the tooth. A popular choice for those who wish to address multiple minor cosmetic defects all at once, veneers are used to mask gaps, crookedness, stains, and cracks. Bonus: Porcelain is naturally stain-resistant.
