After breakfast we drove north inland around 40 kilometers for an overnight stay at Jeremy's Bay Campground within the main Kejimkujik National Park, having had an excellent day at the Seaside section yesterday. Over the last few days one of the highlights has been the sheer abundance of Canadian Tiger Swallowtail Butterflies and I finally managed to photograph one as we arrived at the park around noon.\nCanadian Tiger Swallowtail - Finally Snapped One!\nThe park protects 381 sq. km of inland lakes and forests, and 22 sq. km of coastline which we visited yesterday. Kejimkujik is by far the most important national park for reptiles in Atlantic Canada. Five snake, three turtle, five salamander, one toad and seven frog species inhabit the slow-moving rivers, streams, shallow lakes, bogs and marshes of the park. Warm summers and moderate winters account for the abundance and diversity of these species.\nAfter checking in to our overnight lot Dee and I took a 6Km hike along the shoreline of the lake. The Red Squirrels a constant companion for most of our walk and Dee discovered a Hairy Woodpecker peering out from his nest hole, how she spotted it I'll never know! Dragonflies were on the wing, as yet unidentified and in need of research, and while Dee was searching for frogs and toads, a Ruby-throated Hummingbird made a brief appearance.\nWe paused occasionally on the many benches overlooking the lake, spotting Common Loon, Arctic Tern and the usual Great Black-backed Gulls, however the highlight was the sudden appearance of a Broad-winged Hawk, which rose noisily over the treetops offering a few photo opportunities.\nWe spent the rest of the afternoon and evening back at the RV enjoying the surroundings and as I've mentioned a few times when writing my blog it's sometimes worthwhile letting the wildlife come to you! Red Squirrel at your feet, along with a brief visit from Chipmunk, the abundant American Robin and Song Sparrow, plus a solitary Fox Sparrow and some real surprises too. The first was while searching the tree canopies when a bird I normally associate with the winter months in the UK suddenly appeared, not a Bohemian on this occasion but a Cedar Waxwing and two at that.\nRecord Shot of Cedar Waxwing High In The Canopy!\nAfter the delight of watching the Waxwings for a while the rest of the afternoon and evening was a pleasure around our campfire. The constant drumming of Woodpeckers and the odd glimpse of Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and Pileated Woodpecker, North Americas largest. Blue-Jay, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Northern Parula and the best until last, falling asleep to the mystic calls of Common Loon and the barking call of a Barred Owl, priceless!! |

Installation view of “Alina Szapocznikow: My American Dream” at Broadway 1602 in 2010.\nBroadway 1602, the experimentally minded New York gallery that opened in the Garment District in 2005 and moved to two uptown spaces in 2016, has filed for bankruptcy, bringing to a close a 12-year run that included pivotal shows of work by Marjorie Strider, Alina Szapocznikow, Evelyne Axwell, and many other under-recognized artists. The filing was first reported by Bloomberg’s Katya Kazakina.\nThe gallery, which focused on under-represented international artists of the 1960s and ‘70s but also organized left-field shows of more recent art by figures like Paul P. and Amy Granat, is the latest casualty in a steady stream of small- and mid-sized galleries that have closed in New York over the past few years, pressured by competition from better-capitalized, multinational peers, a softening of collector demand, and the increased costs of doing business as real-estate prices rise and art fairs remain a pricy but essential source of potential revenue for many dealers.\nMore critically acclaimed shows would follow, by Szapocznikow and others, including Nicola L and Edward Krasinksi, whose recognition has since increased considerably in New York, the United States, and internationally. |
Welcome to Josephine Geluso's web site where you can meet her and discover her moving and delightful poetry.\nWriting poetry never occurred to Jo until she was 80 years old. Her friend Donald E. Axinn, celebrated poet, showed her a photo he had taken on his farm in Vermont. It was a magical scene, she recalls. An old gate with peeling whitewash almost hidden by overgrown vines enticed one to come in and discover what lay beyond. “This photo is asking for poetic outlet. Why not write a poem?” she asked Don. His response, “Why not you!” That was the spark that fired Jo’s imagination and her first poem “The Gate". |
An endoscopic sterilisation technique for use in Galapagos tortoises (Geochelone nigra) was developed as part of a conservation and ecosystem restoration project. Fifteen female giant Galapagos tortoises were anaesthetised, intubated and positioned in dorsal recumbency. A bilateral prefemoral approach was made and the ovaries were identified using a 5 mm × 33 cm rigid telescope. In the case of endoscope-assisted oophorectomy, the ovaries were exteriorised through the same incision, the vasculature was ligated and the mesovarium was transected. Two tortoises had immature ovaries that could not be exteriorised. In these animals, endoscopic oophorectomy was performed using radiosurgery. Closure of the incisions was routine. All tortoises except one recovered well from surgery. There were no reported complications six weeks and six months postoperatively, and all were successfully released on to Pinta Island in May 2010. |

Hyundai will use this month’s 2018 Los Angeles auto show to unveil a full-size SUV the automaker confirmed Thursday will be called a Palisade.\nDue on sale next year as a 2020 model, the Palisade will offer seating for eight and features normally found on luxury vehicles, such as premium cabin materials and advanced safety technologies.\nHyundai previewed the design with the Grandmaster concept (shown below) unveiled in June. We’ve also spied prototypes testing in the wild over the course of the past year. Though camouflaged, the prototypes hint at a large, boxy design, with the treatment for the grille and headlights similar to what we see on the redesigned 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe.\nUnderpinning the vehicle is a new front-wheel-drive platform with transverse engine mounting and all-wheel-drive capability. The recently revealed 2020 Kia Telluride is also based on this platform. Meanwhile, we can look forward to a V-6 as the standard powertrain and potentially a hybrid option at some point.\nPotential rivals include the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, Dodge Durango, Ford Expedition, Honda Pilot, Nissan Armada, Toyota Sequoia, and the aforementioned Telluride from Kia. The Palisade may even be built at the same plant in West Point, Georgia as the Telluride.\nWe’ll have all the details soon as the L.A. auto show opens to the press November 28. To learn about some of the other vehicles set to appear, head to our dedicated hub. |
Next week we will see Trading Statements begin to emerge and I wanted to offer some words of warning. We already know that John Lewis saw its sales +2.3% up yoy for the week ending 26th December. This will prove to be one of the strongest performances. Next will be the first major retailer to report next week. As always, its figures will be among the very best. Both companies are routinely described as retail bellweathers. They aren’t. A bellweather is meant to be indicator of what will be the norm. These two businesses are in that small minority with brands strong enough to have traded predominantly at full price. Next was one of the few able to opt out of Black Friday.\nChristmas Trading Statements are not externally audited. In effect, companies can say whatever they want and choose whatever definitions and criteria they want. Obviously, for quoted companies there is the need to manage expectations and not mislead the market. Nevertheless, there is wriggle room. The numbers are not comparable across companies and sometimes definitions and timeframes can be changed in subtle ways within companies from year to year, rendering those comparisons difficult too. It is human nature to try and paint performance in the best possible light and this year that instinct will be stronger than ever.\nAfter 12 months of back to back discounting, retailers are entering 2016 with too much stock and too little cash. The year has been incredibly tough, Black Friday was a damp squib and Christmas failed to deliver. Returns and refunds will peak over this latest period and statements will rarely if ever take these into account. The health of the industry will undoubtedly be impacted and if the majority of Trading Statements do not reflect this, the questions should be why, and how?\nSo after the damp squib of Black Friday, the hoped-for bounce back for Christmas failed to materialise. It was never very likely to. The consumer was literally and metaphorically spent some time ago. And at heavily discounted prices too. After a year of price promotions, consumers were able to buy what they wanted more cheaply than they expected. And shouting about further promotions simply failed to make the necessary impacted on increasingly fatigued shoppers.\nThe industry will enter January with too much stock, too little cash, and worries about what to tell the market in their upcoming trading statements. Even more pinches of salt will be needed this year. 2016 will see the beginnings of a much needed reset of industry economics. There will be more capacity and cost inflation will outstrip sales growth. While 2015 was the toughest year I have ever seen, I am forecasting an even tougher 2016.\nThis market will widen the gap between the winners and also rans still further. However, the latter outnumber the former, as our Promotional Tracker has been showing in recent months. Nevertheless, the news is not totally negative. For strong brands with strong, focused leadership teams, the opportunities to make great returns are there.\nI take this opportunity to wish you all a great Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year. It’s certainly going to be a busy one for retail!\nNovember’s ONS retail sales figures should be a warning for the industry. Instead, virtually all the coverage has been positive, driven by the ONS itself and by City economists. If these are positive numbers, how come more than two thirds of the High Street is on sale, a week before Christmas? The vast majority misinterpret the figures, following the volume and not the value series. This error is magnified when either inflation or deflation are important – like right now.\nFar from being good, the November value numbers for the trade as a whole were +2% – the weakest November yoy growth for 10 years. Moreover, achieving this very modest growth “cost” the industry 2.4% in price defaltion. Sure, volumes went up by 4.3% but this gain is not enough to compensate. The 2% growth in sales value is certain to be overstated because of the Black Friday sales spike online, and the high returns this will produce. Talking to retail CEOs, the underlying growth for November will net out at below 1.5% yoy.\nAfter 12 months of relentless discounting across every sector of the trade, retail is weak and progressively losing share of consumer spending. It is clear that dropping prices does indeed increase volumes, but only to a limited degree. And that limit has been around 4% for some months. Deflation is happening by default, and is a zero sum game. It is virtually all on current season’s stock and is diluting margins. You can only mitigate through increasing bought-in margins for so long, and my sense is that we have hit the ceiling.\nStructural change is starting to move the goalposts of industry economics. Next year will be painful and some retailers are trading through their last Christmas. This is not gloom – it’s reality and denial is potentially life threatening.\nBlack Friday and Cyber Monday have gone. Now retailers are asking consumers to come back and buy for Christmas. The body language of stores out there says everything. With 66% now on sale – a totally unprecedented number – the reality is beginning to emerge. After a 12 month diet of more or less permanent price promotions shoppers are tired, and confused. They no longer know whether any given price, even if it has already been cut, will be cut further This is bound to impact a) buying behaviour and b) trust in the retailer.\nThis will have a material impact on performance. First, Black Friday turned out to be more online than anticipated. However, substantially higher store costs have still been incurred. And so too will higher costs than budgeted in order to fulfil increased online sales. Cost of sales online are higher than in store, so there will be a direct impact from this alone. Then there are returns. I suspect returns will be even higher than usual online, so whatever early indications of Black Friday sales might be, they will net out considerably lower.\nAs I said in my opening paragraph, we can already see some of the implications of this in the incredibly high discounts out there. The vast majority of mark downs are current season stock, and there is lots of it. I have been warning for some time about next year’s tightening industry economics and trading will be materially more difficult. Many retailers will be entering 2016 with too much stock and too little cash, and that’s before the new economic screw starts to tighten.\nWe are now in the period when PR and wishful thinking rule the day. After the trading performance damaging Black Friday and the now redundant Cyber Monday, we are being told how fantastic it all was. Will anyone remember this groundless euphoria when the dust settles and the truth needs to be faced?\nSurely no one seriously doubts that spending is finite? Surely no one out there thinks that if you drop the price of something you will sell more, ad infinitum? This is where economic theory comes unstuck. The industry and those who surround it need to learn from last year – netting out this period and Christmas, there will be higher costs, pretty much the same sales and lower margins.\nThis year there is the double whammy in materially higher costs. While far fewer customers turned up at stores, retailers still had to pay for the huge increase in staff they lined up to cope with the crowds that failed to show. They then faced higher costs online to deal with the surge in website volumes. And finally, there will be higher than budgeted costs from dealing with the higher returns – returns online dwarf those in stores.\nIn every type of business there are some sales you don’t want, and retail is no exception. Black Friday, Cyber Monday and the various other artificial devices out there are exactly that: margin diluting and brand damaging. We are now entering the key trading period of the year. UK retail has significantly damaged its chances of generating full price sales in this period because of Black Friday. Right now, the vast majority of the High Street is on sale, and will be all the way through. |
The year Pete Rose was about to break Ty Cobb's all-time hits record in spring training, he was being interviewed. One reporter blurted out, "Pete, you only need 78 hits to break the record. How many at-bats do you think you'll need to get the 78 hits?" Without hesitation, Pete just stared at the reporter and very matter-of- factly said, "78." The reporter yelled back, "Ah, come on Pete, you don't expect to get 78 hits in 78 at-bats do you?" Mr. Rose calmly shared his philosophy with the throngs of reporters who were anxiously awaiting his reply to this seemingly boastful claim. "Every time I step up to the plate, I expect to get a hit! If I don't expect to get a hit, I have no right to step in the batter's box in the first place! If I go up just hoping to get a hit," he continued, "then I probably don't have a prayer to get a hit. It is a positive expectation that has gotten me all of the hits in the first place."\nPete, for all his faults and failure, made a choice to hustle, hit, and win. History records that, even with his shortcoming, he accomplished his goal because he kept his eyes on the prize. That is exactly what Paul is telling us, what Jesus showed us, and what our God expects of us. But let's break down this thought and ask, "If I am to keep my eyes on the prize and press on, what does it mean for me?" |
I don't think that the review for this book is going to be easy. I had a perceived notion of this book and this book was completely different from what I had thought about it.\nLet me give a short overview of the book. This story revolves around one person Niki, who is not having the best of life, in either personal nor professional life. She then manages to get into a different world, which is apparently the perfect world, called Zedius. The journey from Earth to this planet has been described in a very detailed manner. There the task is to save the perfect world, and the common myth that, when one has no problems in life, is something, one always longs for. This has been proven wrong here and Niki, who has the power to create problem where ever she goes is one of the chosen one to create problems in this perfect world so that a lively atmosphere can start in this world.\nNow, having given this short briefing of the overall story in the book, its not the story which makes an impact in Priya's books. Its the thoughts which keep running in, which are detailed in a very intricate manner is what really touches you, and this book is no different. I only wish someone could put all those points in a different book and I would gladly buy that one.\nComing back to the book, its not the easiest of the book to read, unlike her previous ones. Its something which one needs to read slowly to absorb every line. Unlike her last book, this book made me fall asleep.(I don't normally fall asleep while reading). Its not easy to keep reading this book. It took close to a month to finish off this, though initially I thought that, this is not in line with her previous books and not up to the mark, I was proven wrong.\nThis book is at a very high spiritual level. I am pretty sure, many of you will not be able to appreciate the contents. Since I had quite a bit of knowledge of the soul power, I was able to comprehend it. The more and more pages I turned , I was wondering, how did Priya manage to learn all these concepts and based on that write a story, which is a story and at the same time, talks about highly spiritual stuff. Its not easy for a young person to know about all the contents unless she has read a lot in these areas. Not sure, how did she manage that, or is it that she is just gifted. But at the end of it, its an awesome piece of work.\nNow, the million dollar question. Should you buy this book. I am not sure. As mentioned earlier, its not the easiest of the book to read. This book shouldn't be read in a hurry. You should take time and absorb every bit of it into yourself and that's the only way you will benefit from reading this. I can call it a slightly easier version than Shantaram. But its a simple story and very few characters and great insight into one's life.\nIf I compare my knowledge from learnings in Brahmakumaris and this book, I didn't find anything contradictory. Would definitely recommend all the followers of Brahmakumaris to read this book. It just takes one on a journey, in a virtual reality mode and can really appreciate the teachings.\nGreat work Priya!! Keep it up. And to be frank, my initial impression while reading the first few chapters was not the same. |

“Whenever the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, David took the lyre and played it with his hand. So Saul was refreshed and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him” (1 Sam. 16:23).\nA prominent figure complained about the impact of music upon our young people. This “new music,” he said, “is promoting the moral degeneracy of our adolescents.” We might think this statement was made by someone within the past one hundred years. However, even though this sentiment has been echoed numerous times in recent history, it is actually a quote of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato.\nWithout question, music has a profound impact on human beings. Though we may differ over just how influential it is, music continues to shape and add color to the most important moments of our lives. Spouses have favorite songs that conjure up happy memories of courtship. Certain compositions are immediately associated with specific holidays or other special occasions. Music can be used to change or reflect different moods. As today’s passage indicates, even biblical heroes used music for this purpose.\nThe principles of proportionality, harmony, simplicity, and complexity introduced yesterday may be nowhere more apparent than when we study music. All sorts of sounds are heard everyday — a jackhammer’s pounding, the singing of a sparrow, the shattering of glass, the fight song played by a marching band. Yet only the second and the last of these examples can be called music. A jackhammer may be noise, but it does not exhibit the variation in tone or progression (proportionality) that the sparrow’s singing does. When glass breaks, it may be possible to determine that it shatters with the tone of A flat. Nevertheless, because this tone does not occur in a sequence (simple or complex), it is not deemed to be musical.\nIn reality, a musical score always follows certain mathematical rules. Certain chords sound harmonious because of their numerical relationship to each other. The artist may not be able to define it with arithmetic, but if the correlation does not adhere to a mathematical system of music, Western or Eastern, the tones only produce noise. If a progression of sounds completely violates the standards of aesthetics, our ears do not hear music.\nThe Psalmist implores us to “make a joyful noise” unto the Lord, but the context makes it clear he is using “noise” as a synonym for music (Ps. 95:1–2). God is pleased when we praise Him with music, whether it be with voice or with the instrument. Do you worship Him eagerly in the public setting whenever it is time to sing? Endeavor this Sunday to sing or play eagerly unto Him, for He is the great God above all the earth. |
After seeing the team win the Copa del Rey for the 29th time in the club’s history, president Josep Maria Bartomeu spoke of the great work carried out by Luis Enrique in his three years in charge.\n“Luis Enrique has done a very good job and we are very grateful,” said the president, adding that “the door is always open for him to return when he wants. He has been a successful manager”.\nIt was the ninth trophy won under the Asturian, and the Barça president said that Luis Enrique “many objectives” and said that the Copa del Rey was won “with a huge effort against a side who had a clear idea of how to play”.\nOn Leo Messi’s superb performance, Bartomeu said that the Argentine “stood out and once again showed us that he is the best player in the world”.\n"We have to keep this good feeling and celebrate it as we have won a title against a great team and in the farewell match of this stadium,” he concluded. |
We have not always been adventurous. Just a few years ago the hustle and bustle of jobs, career advancement, impressing the neighbors, etc. occupied our focus. Bringing children into our lives has opened our eyes to what matters most.\nWe grew up playing every sport we could sign up for and working hard in our own ways; Paige on a dairy farm feeding calves early in the morning and after school, and Colter waking up early to change pipe up on grandma’s farm.\nColter’s family was quite adventurous while he was growing up. They regularly ventured out on camp-outs, pack-trips, motorcycling, snowmobiling, shooting, skiing and more.\nPaige’s family worked to squeeze fun in between crops and winter sports. She grew up going to the lake, skiing the slopes and went on an annual young women’s camp. She didn’t think much about vacations, exotic destinations or doing crazy things like rock climbing and taking three girls out in the woods.\nColter’s adventurous spirit has never died. Despite working toward his Masters of Accounting and Paige on her Doctor of Pharmacy, Colter became a pilot, both were certified in scuba, and mountain bikes became necessary after discovering the incredible trails less than a mile from campus.\nWhen our girls came along, adventures took somewhat of a change in style, but we satisfied our itch with Sunday hikes or walks. Weekly excursions became the habit and the time spent actively exploring and creating memories has been incredible.\nTwo lovers, from simple upbringing bound for adventure. Paige, the youngest of 9 siblings grew up in Freedom, WY only 25 miles from where Colter, the oldest of 7 siblings grew up. It was middle-school when the two met but not until Colter’s sophomore year did the crush meet paths and they went out for the first time. It was after the first hot “date”…with Paige’s parents…that the two awkward young lovebirds (future lovebirds) went out. Colter, being the “gentleman” he is, asked to kiss Paige. The awkward kiss happened but it wasn’t too soon…5 years later that the two shared a renewed romance. Paige points out that Colter didn’t talk to her after the kiss. It is arguably true but, well, ok there is no defending that Colter’s pride may have been slightly damaged when his awkward request didn’t end up being the silky, smooth kiss-kiss, smooch-smooch he had envisioned. But in the end, who cares? The two live a life that is full of challenges, adventure and is fulfilling.\nColter returned from full-time missionary service to Brazil in 2007 and then through miracles ended up at Western Wyoming Community College, where he began to woo the girls, basketball/volleyball teams alike but was again quickly enamored with Paige after a shared spaghetti dinner and a movie where it only became logical that the two would hold hands and resume a relationship that would change their lives and create a lifestyle unimaginable by both. We hope you will enjoy seeing, finding and engaging as we share our journey before and after our continued romance in 2008. Please comment, provide feedback and share with us who you are and how our relationship, our focus on our businesses, investments and wealth and ability/inability to balance a healthy lifestyle in the meantime can improve your life and help you find the fulfilment life has to offer.\nThank you for being a part of our Simple Meets Adventure family. |

SAFE is a trade union for personnel working in the energy sector, both onshore and offshore. The name is an abbreviation of Sammenslutningen av Fagorganiserte i Energisektoren, SAFE for short.\nSAFE is a consequence of the development we are seeing as regards organisation of work, both within the offshore sector and the onshore energy sector. Fundamental changes are taking place, resulting in numerous challenges. This shows that there is a need for a strong union that is capable of safeguarding the rights of personnel in this industry.\nSAFE is a politically independent union affiliated the Confederation of Vocational Unions, YS. Read more about YS.\nSAFE will be YS’ organisation for energy sector personnel in the widest sense of the word.\nOur goal is a fair working life!\nWhy is it a good idea to become a member of SAFE?\nAccessibility is one of our key objectives. We shall have a flat organisational structure, ensuring you as a member easy access to union leaders. This is simply because you are the reason we are doing this. We are an organisation made up of and for employees in the energy sector. You may take part in influencing upon and developing «your own » organisation in this community.\nStriking power is required to resist the increasing cynicism seen in business life, which in our view is an expression of the globalisation of the Norwegian economy. International players are adopting international ways of running their business – and often these regimes set back the rights of Norwegian employees several decades.\nCompanies have become stock exchange profiteers, where everything is a matter of optimum profits. Current profit requirements often lead to labour becoming the balancing items in the accounts. That is why a potent organisation is needed, an organisation that can fight for the safety of the individual, and against temporary labour and employment contracts.\nWhat about the «old» OFS?\nThanks to the previous organisation, OFS, oil workers in the Norwegian offshore sectors are now enjoying very good working conditions and terms!\nThis is not something claimed by «old» OFS people alone, it is a widely accepted fact. SAFE will build on the results achieved through the joint efforts and experiences of these members. You are invited to join this community and develop it further. Bear in mind; an organisation is as good as its members make it! |
Joseph Comellas, a 32 year resident of Santa Fe, New Mexico was born in Upstate New York. The frequent trips to the museums and galleries in New York City, influenced Joseph at an early age to study art and begin a life long journey as a professional artist. Then at the age of 15, Joseph moved with his family to Austin Texas. There in 1974, Joseph met famed artist, Amado Pena and a long term apprenticeship was formed. Joseph began selling his artwork professionally in galleries and traveled with Peña to art shows throughout Texas at the ages of 16 to 20. He attended, Southwest Texas State University on a full paid art scholarship from the Beard Foundation.\nIt was in 1982, when Joseph moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico after being drawn here on a previous visit with Pena in 1979. He continued to further his education, attending classes at The College of Santa Fe.\nBy 1985 Joseph was showing and selling his art in art galleries and shows throughout the American Southwest. Comellas’ art has been displayed in galleries in Santa Fe, Taos, Sedona, Scottsdale, through out Texas and primarily here in Santa Fe, is where he has built an international following of collectors in over 13 countries. This vibrant audience is truly a blessing in the art and life of Joseph Comellas. The longevity in the market has allowed for a constant development and growth as an artist and from that a unique body of art has emerged.\nThe American Southwest landscape with all its unique shapes, organic forms and dramatic lighting defines the painting of Joseph Comellas. These paintings that depict mountains, mesas and buttes, arroyos and rivers flown with abundant water speak volumes about that sense of place and peoples journey through that place in time and history.\nAs a colorist these paintings are created to resonate and lift the spirits of the viewer. As the light changes so do the paintings in magical ways that continue to delight on a daily basis. The shapes in the greater body of art has in themselves developed the identity of the paintings. There is a language in the shapes, a stillness and peacefulness that comes from that sense of place and belonging. The beautifully designed shapes welcomes the viewer iinto the paintings. There is light and joy in the use of color. |

Ear Piercing Names | What Do They Mean?\nWith well over 20 different styles of ear piercings to choose from, it’s understandably difficult to decipher between similar ear piercing names. From traditional earlobe piercings to cartilage piercings and beyond, here are some simple ways to remember different ear piercing names.\nThe earlobe is the most popular type of piercing for both men and women and is typically where people choose to start in their piercing journey. The earlobe is softer than other parts of the ear, making it the best ear piercing location for beginners.\nUsing the Inverness System, there are two ear piercing names to remember for the lobe: Standard Lobe Piercing and Upper Lobe Piercing.\nThe word standard can also mean typical or regular. This is the most common place we see ear piercings.\nFinally, there’s the Graduated Lobe Piercing. Graduated is defined as “to arrange in a series or according to a scale.” Graduated ear piercings are popular because they allow for multiple piercings of varying sizes to be pierced along the earlobe.\nBefore we get into piercings, let’s talk about the cartilage itself. Cartilage is the connective tissue that forms the structure of your ears, nose and other areas around your ribs. On the ears specifically, cartilage is the strong, flexible tissue located in the upper portion of the ear and differs from the earlobe primarily in that is has a limited blood supply.\nCartilage piercings are very popular and can also be graduated.\nThe Inverness Ear Piercing System is used to pierce the outer cartilage only, which is located between the helix and antihelix of the ear. The number of cartilage piercings a person can have depends on the size and shape of their ear.\nIf you have any questions, we’re always happy to answer questions at Inverness.

Hundreds of My Favorite Songs from the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's.\nPractice reading English with the Lyrics of the songs and stories of the singers and bands at www.mikiemetric.com .\nGrammar is the set of rules for using a language.\nA sentence is a group of words that express a complete thought or idea. A sentence always begins with a CAPITAL letter and ends with a Period ( . ), a Question mark ( ? ) or an Exclamation point ( ! ).\nEvery sentence has two main parts: a SUBJECT, and a PREDICATE.\nwent to the store and bought new gloves.\npulled the carts into town and around the square.\nBy looking at the examples above, can you tell what Subjects and Predicates are?\nSubject: Who or what a sentence is about; who or what does something in a sentence; any words that tell about or describe the main subject.\nNOTE: There are words called Linking Verbs that are always part of the Predicate but do not show any action. The most common ones are AM, IS, ARE, WAS, WERE, BE, BEING, BEEN. They tell about the existence of something or someone, not what someone or something does. They are called Linking Verbs because they link the subject to a word or words in the predicate that mean the same as the subject or that describe the subject. To learn more about Linking Verbs, click HERE.\nPredicate: What happens in a sentence; who or what it happens to; words that tell when, where, why or how the action happens; words that describe who or what the action happens to.\nWhat kind of words can be part of the subject?\nArticles: Point out nouns; signal that a noun is close ahead in a sentence. Nouns can be used without an article, but articles can never be used without a noun.\nAdjectives: Describe nouns. They tell what kind, which one, how many, what size, what color a noun is.\nNouns: Any word that names something is a noun. The name of a person, a place, a thing, an idea, an emotion, or an activity is a noun. If it is a particular person, place or thing (George, New York, Cadillac), it is a Proper Noun and must be written with a capital letter. If it is a general name (man, city, automobile), it is a common noun with no capital letter.\nNot all of these parts need to be in a subject, but all of them may be. This is how, using parts from the box above... (predicates will be in parentheses ).\nWhat are Predicates made of?\nVerbs: Words that describe or name an action; words that describe a state of being or existence. Every predicate must have a verb. Verbs also tell us when something happens or exists - in the past, the present or the future.\nAdverbs: Adverbs modify (add to the meaning of) verbs. They describe when, where, why or how something happens. Adverbs can also modify adjectives and other adverbs.\nExamples of Predicates. (Subjects are in parentheses ).\n(She) quickly threw the ball to her teammate.\nBefore halftime, (she) quickly threw the ball to her teammate.\nSentences can have one word or one hundred words, but every sentence must have a subject and a predicate. Here are several examples.\nExercise A: Draw a circle around the subjects and underline the predicates in the sentences below.\n1. Yesterday, Harvey and Harriet took their children to the zoo.\n2. The elephants, the lions, and all of the other animals were hungry.\n3. The president of the bank looked everywhere for the combination to the vault.\n5. The red race car with yellow stripes finished last in the race.\n6. After his speech, the mayor shook hands with members of the crowd.\nExercise B: Match a subject with a predicate from the box below and write the complete sentences on the lines.\nstood outside the hotel all night.\nprowled through the dark alley.\nlived in the attic last winter.\nwas from the Middle East.\nwaited patiently for his victim.\nc. 2018 Montoursville, PA 17754 Music from the 1950's, 1960's, 1970's and 1980's, with links to bios and lyrics.\n1.

After experiencing God’s love anew at Redwood Campmeeting last year, the Pleasant Hill Seventh-day Adventist Church wanted to share what they had encountered with the community surrounding their church. We covered seventeen presentations over the course of ten days which were dedicated to seeing the truth of the Character of Love through the lens of Seventh-day Adventist teaching. And what an amazing experience it was! We had over 65 visitors from the community attend, five folks accepted Jesus as their Savior for the very first time, five other folks requested more information on baptism, and eleven more signed up to continue with Bible Studies. These were responding positively to our unique teachings such as the Sabbath, the State of the Dead, Annihilation, and some of our prophetic understandings–all as a means of more deeply understanding and experiencing God’s love for us in the light of the cross. |

It’s one of the unanswered questions that has plagued humanity since the invention of the washing machine – why do we lose so many socks? And where do they go to?\nIt turns out that it’s not the sock fairy, or whoever tangles headphones when you’re not watching. Science now has an answer for why we lose so many socks in our lifetime.\nAccording to new research, Britons lose 1.3 socks on average per month, or 15 a year – a whopping 1,264 in the average lifetime. Losing socks costs us on average £2528!\nAfter surveying 2000 people, psychologist Dr. Simon Moore and statistician Geoff Ellis came up with a mathematical formula, the ‘Sock Loss Index’, which explains why we keep losing socks.\nIn other words, the probability of sock loss equals laundry size plus the complexity of the wash minus the level of attention being paid to the task multiplied by the person’s attitude towards doing the washing. The larger the wash, the higher the chance of losing socks.\n“In simple terms the complexity of the wash load and your attention to detail during the cleaning process, are the factors with the biggest impact on sock loss,” the researchers said. |

Have you ever found yourself in a time that moved faster than the current, faster than the wind? In something that can only be compared to a whirlwind?\nThe past weeks have been… I can’t really explain it. It’s like life has been enhanced.\nIntensified, brighter colors, stronger emotions.\nAs I’m writing this, I’m in Bucharest. Bucuresti.\nThree years ago, I entered Romania at the Nadlac/Nagylak border. Things haven’t been the same since. And att that point in time I had no idea I would be here now.\nIt reminds me of how my life shifted when I moved to Budapest.\nBudapest, who’s my home and my security.\nBucharest is my lover. And it's a passionate affair.\nThis shift came just two-three weeks ago.\nThat Wednesday when I, like a nudge from above, checked how things were going for Romania in regards to Eurovison. And to my surprise, they were open for submissions.\nSo I sent in a song to Eurovision Romania, the national competition to select the country’s entry to Eurovision 2017 in Kiev.\nAnd suddenly, within a week, I was in a gorgeous TV studio, performing.\nAnd suddenly, I was on national TV.\nSuddenly, I was in an experience so big, so full of love, so exhilarating that my head still has a hard time catching up with my heart.\nAnd this, in turn, lead to a full page article in the biggest newspaper in my region at home; a radio interview with a person I truly admire and even waking up to find a small article in Romanian about myself. Whirlwind, there's no other word.\nNot only this, but simultaneously the people of Romania has risen up for democracy, for justice for all, for their future.\nAs a foreigner who’s planted her own roots here, I don’t have words for how much this inspires me.\nSo with everything combined, my love for Romania grows deeper on a daily basis right now.\nDuring that first adventure here those years ago, I did feel called – like I was meant to be here, even though I didn’t know why. I still don’t really know why, all I know is that it feels right.\nTomorrow, Sunday, we go live around 20 here in Romania, to find out the 15 who’ll move on to the semi-finals.\nNo matter who go through, this has been such a glorious experience. And each person I’ve met deserve creative success, honestly I’ve been moved with how loving everyone’s been. And when we cheer for one another’s abundance and success, that’s how we create more in our own life. These past few weeks have been a testament to that.\nSo that's what's happening. Hope you're having your own loving whirlwind. |

Before moving forward on that beautiful swimming pool you’ve fantasized about installing for ages, it’s imperative to meet with and obtain quotes from several pool builders.\nOtherwise, you may not be getting the best deal (which doesn’t necessarily mean the lowest cost — be sure to think through quality of craftsmanship, design expertise, warranties, customer service, etc.). And in order to know if you’re receiving the best value, you’ll need a full understanding of the price tag — including what is and is not covered. Be sure to look for the same items across the board, as you meet with prospective pool builders, to ensure you’re comparing apples to apples. While many companies are above board and truly want you to understand the contract you’re signing, others may try to gloss over charges or downplay fees in an effort to win your business.\nObviously, a large hole will need to be dug out in your backyard to make room for your new pool — but where does all that dirt go? Your options include spreading some or all of it around your yard and/or hauling it off your property to be disposed of. Make sure you discuss which option works best for your situation and that it’s accounted for clearly in your proposal.\nYour new pool or deck may require the structural support and yard drainage retaining walls can provide. A quick way to assess: If your yard slopes, it most likely needs them; if your yard is reasonably flat, it may still need them. And retaining walls can be very pricey. Make sure your pool builder understands the landscape and includes this cost in the estimate — if you don’t end up needing it, you’ll recoup some money, which is better than not including it and finding out it later.\nPumps, lighting, additional outlets, salt chlorine generators, hot tubs, automatic covers and heat pumps — what do these all have in common? Sure, they all make owning and maintaining a pool so much more convenient, but they also run on electricity. Some pool builders will include electrical work in their bid, and others invoice it separately because the work involved varies greatly from one project to the next. While either approach is fine, it’s important to pay attention to those details when comparing bids.\nWhether or not you have young children isn’t the only consideration for deciding to install or forego a fence — it may be required by your city or state and/or your insurance company. Your pool builder should be familiar with local legislation and guide you toward the appropriate solution, including any associated costs in their quote.\nIf you’re building a pool, chances are you’d also like a nice patio area on which to place your lounge chairs, patio furniture and grill. If that’s the case, it’s imperative to discuss your options ahead of time, including whether it will require additional concrete or materials such as tile or travertine. Either way, make sure your pool builder includes your preference in their bid.\nIt’s likely that this construction project could damage and even ruin a portion of your current landscaping, including grass, flower beds, and sprinkler heads. Also, if your main entrance to and from the construction site is your driveway, the sheer weight of the bulldozers and other heavy equipment could crack or damage it. Be prepared for this chaos and anticipate extra costs to seed or replace grass and repair or replace your driveway. You may also want to consider investing in more extensive landscaping such as decorative plants and rocks around your deck and pool to further enhance your new space.\nNobody likes financial surprises midway through a construction project. Once you know to look for or inquire about the aforementioned items on the proposals from your list of prospective pool builders, it will be much easier to envision your true cost for the project and plan your budget accordingly. |

Dr Ludovic Highman outlines the potential impact of Brexit on academics at UK universities and shows that UK universities are highly dependent on EU academic staff.\nIn the briefing, Dr Highman highlights the proportion and distribution of EU academics in UK universities. He points out that many non-UK EU academics are employed in fields where the domestic pool of candidates is insufficient.\nDr Highman shows that EU citizens make up almost one fifth (over one third in some subjects) of all academics working at UK universities. In universities with the greatest research power and funding, particularly those belonging to the Russell Group, this rises to a quarter.\nAs with EU students, London and Scotland are the top destinations for EU academics. Northern Ireland also scores highly given its large number of Irish academic staff.\nDr Highman shows that the highest proportions of EU academic staff are found in nations and cities that voted Remain, suggesting EU populations in these areas are perceived as having a beneficial impact.\nHe concludes that restrictions to freedom of movement caused by Brexit could pose a severe threat to the quality and reputation of UK universities.\nThe briefing draws on CGHE’s research project, Brexit, trade, migration and higher education, which is part of The UK in a Changing Europe initiative. It focuses on UK higher education institutions’ perceptions of and responses to Brexit and associated challenges.\nThe Brexit White Paper: what does it mean for higher education and research?\nThe UK in the global student market: second place for how much longer?\nHow are the public goods of internationalisation of higher education viewed in Japan?\nThe UK’s participation in Horizon Europe: caught in a game of high politics?\nAre EU university academics leaving the UK because of Brexit?\nWhat are the challenges facing the Asian academic profession?\nDoes academic self-concept predict further and higher education participation?\nPublic goods and public policy: what is public good, and who and what decides?\nShould governments of OECD countries worry about graduate over-education? |

Permanently capitalizing the P in Presumptive Nominee, the Texas primary shoved Mitt Romney right over the delegate precipice, and now with the nomination locked up tighter than a rusted pickle jar 20,000 leagues beneath the sea, the campaign has taken a sudden turn towards the nebulous. Ambiguous Ville. Candidates don’t make mistakes in the murky bog of summer. Even when they do, the atmosphere is too hazy to notice.\nOne advantage to this smoky shapeless strategy is it plays directly to the man’s strengths. The former governor of Massachusetts doesn’t have what you might call an actual distinct personality. He’s more of a virgin canvas. A good- looking blank slate onto which any number of convictions and philosophies can be believably projected. He’s the coloring- book and we voters the crayons. And no fighting over who gets to be burnt sienna.\nOne of the major pitfalls inherent to this kind of approach is the strong jawed father of five strapping boys just might play the part too well and come to epitomize what Gertrude Stein said about Oakland: “There’s no there there.” The guy makes a void look cluttered.\nNobody in the GOP wants to be associated in any way with Oakland, much less have the top of the ticket become a patron saint. The Potmekin Candidate needs to project a quality more substantial than some shape shifter with a supernatural ability to assume the identity of whoever or whatever they plant next to him. Probably why you don’t see many Romney rallies held at zoos. Too afraid he’ll pose next to the chameleon cage and turn all green.\nAnother potential mine in the Road to Tampa is the struggle to keep Willard from hanging out with the wrong crowd. You know, other Republicans. Especially distressing to see him palling around with Donald Trump. Again, Like being photographed at a clown convention. No matter how hard you try, some of that white face is bound to wipe off on the shoulders of even the most ghostly of political shadows.\nDonald Trump: a man who is to sober judgment what chocolate covered marshmallows are to quantum physics. Fueling more fickle furnaces that suspect he’ll say or do anything to get to 50.1%, Romney refuses to criticize The Donald, even when the reality show host spouts further Birther nonsense. “Obama was born in Kenya.” No, he wasn’t. He was born in Honolulu. In a manger. Everybody knows that.\nAlthough when you think about it, the Oxymormon needs to pick a vice president who makes him look presidential, and The Donald might be the perfect choice. Next to him, Lou Ferrigno looks Presidential. Manny Ramirez. Some random guy in a banana suit twirling a sign. |
As we wrap up the Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s Review Crew year, I’ve received some pretty fun stuff to review with Charlotte from Fundanoodle. I received I Can Cut, I Can Do Math Level 1, and Max and Alphie’s Adventure Level 1, all part of the “Orange” level for 3 year olds, or preschool level.\nCharlotte turned three last week – partway through the review. While it was obvious she was a beginner learning these skills (and her I Can Cut! Activity Book looks like a slight massacre has maimed it for life) she had a BLAST doing these books. Thrilled with the concept of “doing school” alongside her older siblings, she took her work with an incredibly serious attitude and worked her little heart out on these. She did 1-3 pages per school day in each book, and they took her usually 5-10 minutes per book, depending on how meticulous she decided to be.\nThe I Can Cut! Activity Book was by far her favorite, complete with the pair of safety all-plastic scissors that came with the book. While I didn’t check to see if they cut hair, I don’t think they will. They’re pretty perfect for a first pair of scissors. She cut up those pages to pieces, sometimes more accurately than others, but her ability to hold and control scissors greatly improved as she went. The other two books I received cover counting, patterns, and looking at pictures to find missing objects. She didn’t get the concept at the beginning. (When told to circle all the houses, she circled ALL of the houses. And everything else on the page – with one GIANT circle. Talk about the letter of the law more than the spirit of it!) Now, several weeks later, she takes to the directions like a pro – and I learned to demonstrate my desires just a little bit more clearly!\nThe I Can Do Math! Activity Book was a little bit above Charlie’s head. Attributing a number to a single object is something she’s still learning, and despite trying to get her to count objects and give each a number, to find which square had more, etc., she really didn’t get this. She, however, did not realize she wasn’t getting it and had a fabulous time in the meantime. I learned to let it go, give her the instructions, and let her do it wrong. It’ll be okay.\nThe stickers… oh, the stickers. Charlotte loved finding the “right” sticker for the page and placing it, ever so carefully, exactly in the right spot. There’s nothing wrong with her hand-eye coordination, for certain. Her sticker placement was exact and perfect. She never, ever forgot to grab her sticker to mark the page completed. These were quite possibly her favorite part of the two books (I Can Do Math! and Max and Alphie’s Adventures!) that contained them. Such fun.\nWhen Charlotte saw me working on this review, and saw photos of “her school”, she was concerned she wouldn’t get to keep it. Suffice it to say, she really, really has enjoyed these books and will continue to do them each day.\nAll three of the books I received are 9” x 12”. I Can Cut! Cutting Activity Book contains 40 worksheets and is $7.99, I Can Do Math! Level 1 contains 40 pages plus sticker sheets containing a sticker reward for each page and is $5.99, and Max and Alphie’s Adventures! Activity book contains 40 pages plus stickers for $5.99.\nTo read more reviews of these books, more Orange level books and other levels and books offered by Fundanoodle, visit the Review Crew Blog.\nSounds like she did pretty well for a 3 year old. My 22 month old great granddaughter loves stickers too. She just puts them in a blank book anyway she wants too right now. Haha!!!\nI love her enthusiasm! Thanks for sharing!\nWhat wonderful and thorough review! Thank you so much for writing about us. I love that she improved with the scissors over time! It definitely takes practice. I also love the fact that she circled everything in one big circle! Too funny! We’re glad you enjoyed our products and hope you will continue using Fundanoodle! |
As a music maker or songwriter, you might struggle to find inspiration when you sit down to write a song. Don’t worry, it’s completely normal to get writer’s block. Maybe you’re having trouble creating the perfect lyrics, or perhaps that chord progression isn’t resolving the way you want it to.\nIf this is the case, you may need some inspiration. Did you know that professional songwriters use other tracks as references for their own songs all the time? Songwriters constantly draw inspiration from other music. Sometimes they might even pay homage to one of their favourite songs by writing a lyric that references their favourite song, though you should know that listening to reference MP3s can be a great way to create new chords as well.\nReferencing a track is not the same as copying a track, and copying someone else’s music is completely different from referencing a track. When you reference an MP3, you should pay attention to melodies, chords, drums, and other important sound design elements. While you should come up with something unique and original, there’s nothing wrong with drawing inspiration from a track you like.\nWhen you reference a track, you should listen closely to all of the elements of the song. What are the lyrics saying? What key is the song in? What are the chords? How does the rhythm help the song move forward? As you ask yourself these questions, you can learn quite a lot about your reference track. You may never have listened to your favourite track so closely, so you might hear new parts for the first time.\nWhen a songwriter picks a reference track, they often pick something similar to the kind of music they’d like to make. For instance, pop music writers reference pop music, jazz musicians listen to jazz, and so on, but it can be very useful to draw inspiration from other types of music.\nAs a pop writer, maybe you’d like to try drawing inspiration from gospel music, or world music. Bringing gospel and world elements into your song can give it a fresh sound, and it might inspire more creativity for you during the writing process. For example, Christian music is beautiful, traditional, and full of cool gospel chords that pop music doesn’t normally use. You can find Christian album songs MP3 online, and they are perfect for referencing when you’re writing your own style of music, whether it’s pop, jazz, or alternative music.\nPop music currently draws inspiration from a lot of world music as well. Tropical and Latin sounds are extremely popular all over the world, but there are plenty of other types of world music you can draw inspiration from. For example, African music is soulful, full of rhythm, and passionate. You might find something useful to draw inspiration from when you listen to music from other cultures.\nPeople draw inspiration from all different types of music. If you’re struggling to finish your song, you should take a break and listen to some reference tracks. Referencing music can inspire creativity and keep you away from writer’s block. |

CSU StudentsAbroad.com - Study Abroad Handbook Czech Republic: Who Runs your Program?\nIn this section, you will learn how to better understand who runs your program, and whether it is closely connected with your U.S. home university. Before deciding on a study abroad program in the Czech Republic, it's important to identify what kind of relationship your U.S. College or University has with your study abroad program; essentially, you want to know who is "in charge," and who will help you if you need assistance.\nHome University Owned and Operated: A U.S. college or university usually operates facilities and programs in the Czech Republic as if they were extensions of its U.S. campus. It employs some or all of a program's academic/administrative staff in the Czech Republic and owns, leases, controls or operates some or all of a program facilities and operations in the Czech Republic. Staff and facilities in the Czech Republic vary greatly from a one–person office to a comprehensive campus.\nHome University Partnerships: A study abroad program is a result of a cooperative arrangement or agreement between a U.S. college or university and one or more educational institutions or organizations in the Czech Republic. This allows a U.S. university to send its students on programs owned and operated by a U.S. or a foreign college, university or independent program provider.\nIndependent Student: Students find and enroll in programs independent of their college or university. In some cases, students will remain enrolled at their U.S. home campus, using their financial aid. In other cases, students will be required to take a leave of absence. Upon return, students may or may not receive credit for study completed in the Czech Republic.\nIndividual Faculty/Staff Travel Study Program: An individual faculty or staff member from a U.S. home campus, who has no permanent office in the Czech Republic, accompanies a group of students for many of the short term and summer programs offered.\nHybrid Programs: Many study abroad programs are mixtures of the four previously mentioned types of programs. For example, your home university may have an administrative office in the Czech Republic, but a Czech institution may offer courses and housing, and an independent program provider may arrange excursions.\nForeign University Programs: Students directly enroll in the courses offered by a Czech college or university. Czech colleges and universities offer varying levels of services and support.\nU.S. University Abroad: Students can enroll in other U.S. universities' programs in the Czech Republic with which their U.S. home university has a formal agreement.\nIndependent Program Providers: Many study abroad providers are neither colleges nor universities, but are solely in the business of providing study abroad programs. Programs vary from well–staffed organizations with offices in the United States and the Czech Republic to a one–person office anywhere in the world.\nHybrid Program Providers: Many study abroad program providers are mixtures of the three previously mentioned types of program providers. For instance, your U.S. college or university may have an administrative office in the Czech Republic, while courses and housing may be offered by a Czech college or university, and excursions may be arranged by an independent program provider.\nAfter you understand who runs your study abroad program in the Czech Republic and whether it is closely connected with your U.S. home university, the next step should involve a review of whether the level of support services both in the United States and in the Czech Republic will meet your needs. Remember that there is no national organization that regulates the quality and certifies any minimum standard for study abroad programs. For this reason, it would be wise to take an active role in evaluating a program prior to participating in it. It is important to look at the many types of activities provided by your program. |
This lecture presents some examples of Hypothesis testing, focusing on tests of hypothesis about the variance, that is, on using a sample to perform tests of hypothesis about the variance of an unknown distribution.\nIn this example we make the same assumptions we made in the example of set estimation of the variance entitled Normal IID samples - Known mean. The reader is strongly advised to read that example before reading this one.\nThe sample is made of independent draws from a normal distribution having known mean and unknown variance . Specifically, we observe realizations , ..., of independent random variables , ..., , all having a normal distribution with known mean and unknown variance . The sample is the -dimensional vector , which is a realization of the random vector .\nThe test statistic is This test statistic is often called Chi-square statistic (also written as -statistic) and a test of hypothesis based on this statistic is called Chi-square test (also written as -test).\nLet and . We reject the null hypothesis if or if . In other words, the critical region is Thus, the critical values of the test are and .\nThe power function of the test is where is a Chi-square random variable with degrees of freedom and the notation is used to indicate the fact that the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis is computed under the hypothesis that the true variance is equal to .\nThe power function can be written as where we have defined As demonstrated in the lecture entitled Point estimation of the variance, the estimator has a Gamma distribution with parameters and , given the assumptions on the sample we made above. Multiplying a Gamma random variable with parameters and by one obtains a Chi-square random variable with degrees of freedom. Therefore, the variable has a Chi-square distribution with degrees of freedom.\nWhen evaluated at the point , the power function is equal to the probability of committing a Type I error, i.e., the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is true. This probability is called the size of the test and it is equal to where is a Chi-square random variable with degrees of freedom (this is trivially obtained by substituting with in the formula for the power function found above).\nThis example is similar to the previous one. The only difference is that we now relax the assumption that the mean of the distribution is known.\nThe power function of the test is where the notation is used to indicate the fact that the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis is computed under the hypothesis that the true variance is equal to and has a Chi-square distribution with degrees of freedom.\nThe power function can be written as where we have defined Given the assumptions on the sample we made above, the unadjusted sample variance has a Gamma distribution with parameters and (see Point estimation of the variance), so that the random variable has a Chi-square distribution with degrees of freedom.\nThe size of the test is equal to where has a Chi-square distribution with degrees of freedom (this is trivially obtained by substituting with in the formula for the power function found above).\nDenote by the distribution function of a Chi-square random variable with degrees of freedom. Suppose you observe independent realizations of a normal random variable. What is the probability, expressed in terms of , that you will commit a Type I error if you run a Chi-square test of the null hypothesis that the variance is equal to , based on the observed realizations, and choosing and as the critical values?\nMake the same assumptions of the previous exercise and denote by the inverse of . Change the critical value in such a way that the size of the test becomes exactly equal to .\nMake the same assumptions of Exercise 1 above. If the unadjusted sample variance is equal to 0.9, is the null hypothesis rejected?\nIn order to carry out the test, we need to compute the test statistic where is the sample size, is the value of the variance under the null hypothesis, and is the unadjusted sample variance.\nThus, the value of the test statistic is Since and , we have that In other words, the test statistic does not exceed the critical values of the test. As a consequence, the null hypothesis is not rejected. |

F.J. Blaauw, R. Overbeek, T. Albers, J. Vlek, M. Maessen, J. Gooijer, E. Lazovik, F. Arbab, A. Lazovik.\nModern data analysis platforms all too often rely on the fact that the application and underlying data flow are static. That is, such platforms generally do not implement the capabilities to update individual components of running pipelines without restarting the pipeline, and they rely on data sources to remain unchanged while they are being used. However, in reality these assumptions do not hold: data scientists come up with new methods to analyze data all the time, and data sources are almost by definition dynamic. Companies performing data science analyses either need to accept the fact that their pipeline goes down during an update, or they should run a duplicate setup of their often costly infrastructure that continues the pipeline operations.\nIn this research we present the Evolutionary Changes in Data Analysis (ECiDA) platform, with which we show how evolution and data science can go hand in hand. ECiDA aims to bridge the gap that is present between engineers that build large scale computation platforms on the one hand, and data scientists that perform analyses on large quantities of data on the other, while making change a first-class citizen. ECiDA allows data scientists to build their data science pipelines on scalable infrastructures, and make changes to them while they remain up and running. Such changes can range from parameter changes in individual pipeline components to general changes in network topology. Changes may also be initiated by an ECiDA pipeline itself as part of a diagnostic response: for instance, it may dynamically replace a data source that has become unavailable with one that is available. To make sure the platform remains in a consistent state while performing these updates, ECiDA uses a set of automatic formal verification methods, such as constraint programming and AI planning, to transparently check the validity of updates and prevent undesired behavior.\nIn earlier work, we showed that an initial implementation of ECiDA on top of the Apache Spark ecosystem performed well and introduced an acceptable amount of overhead to the data pipeline [@Lazovik2016; @Albers2018]. The platform is built in collaboration with a large, Dutch water company and is developed with their use cases in mind. ECiDA will, for example, be used to (i) improve water distribution monitoring and automation, (ii) enable the prediction of water quality, and (iii) determine structural reliability of pipes in order to perform predictive maintenance. These use cases emphasize different aspects and a variety of issues that might arise in a practical setting, and ensure ECiDA is built as a generic data science solution, which should therefore be applicable to any data science project. |
The principles outlined in Lighting and Glare apply to every part of your living space. The kitchen, however, is one room that obviously requires special attention. Here you'll find organizational tips and suggestions for a few simple steps you can take to make kitchen chores easier and safer. For tips on food preparation and cooking, see Cooking & Meals.\nPrepare labels in advance based on your shopping list. A self-adhesive label, marked with large print, tactile dots, or whatever works best for you, is easy to apply.\nUse varying numbers of rubber bands to distinguish one type of product from another—two bands for mixed fruits, three for green vegetables, four for sauces, etc.\nLabel cans the same day they arrive from the store, before you put them away. Ask a family member or neighbor to help you identify the contents of each can.\nThree different systems for labeling your canned foods: rubberbands, large-print labels, and a magnet shaped like the food inside the can.\nYou can obtain the labels mentioned in this article from a variety of sources.\nTry to make sure every item is always put away after use in the same designated place.\nGet rid of clutter and dispose of seldom-used and expired items.\nOrganize utensils in drawers with a method that makes sense to you (for example, forks on the left, spoons to the immediate right …).\nMake sure knives are put in a separate location from other utensils.\nPut most frequently used pots and pans in a specific location such as on a pegboard within easy reach, or in a cupboard near the stove.\nDevelop a system to organize foods on cupboard shelves and in the refrigerator so that every type of food has its designated place.\nIt is often very difficult to see the dials on a stove and other appliances. There are products that can help. Bump (tactile) dots or 3D pens (also known as Hi-Mark pens) are durable and effective markers. You can mark stovetops or the oven dial at the point you use most. When using ovens, for example, 350 degrees is a common setting for baking. Place a mark above the dial then turn the knob until the mark on the dial matches the one on the stove. Also, if you're in the market for a new oven, look for a brand that automatically sets the oven to 350 degrees when turned on.\nTactile dots can be placed on your stovetop controls to indicate settings.\nMark all other appliances and appliance features you plan to use (refrigerator temperature and water and ice dispensers, dishwasher, microwave, etc.) Some microwaves come with a braille overlay or large-print labels that can be ordered from the manufacturer.\nUse tactile, colored markings to identify water and ice controls on a refrigerator.\nWhen purchasing small appliances, look for items that have tactile settings or large-print displays.\nNote: Flat-panel appliances are becoming more and more common and are harder to mark. For information on this topic, read the AccessWorld® article, Access in the Kitchen: An Update on Home Appliances.\nUsing visual contrast such as a color contrasting cutting board and contrasting cabinetry and hardware can help people with vision loss work in their kitchen more safely and effectively. Using a good contrast/bad contrast approach you can check out for yourself how using different options for contrast can help a person with vision loss function more easily in the kitchen. These changes do not have to be expensive; all it takes is a little imagination and trial and error to find out what works for you. |

Forecasted were gusts up to 25 knots, but winds stayed calm in the morning, in the afternoon under 15 knots. But the seas went clearly up, some nasty swells were breaking on the cliffs. Our bay stayed more or less calm-ish.\nI did a long cliff hike today, quite impressive coast! Lisa didn’t find much energy for a longer hike and turned around early. No wonder, by her regular breakfast consisting of coffee only, and maybe one energy bar later…there is nothing but oats in the morning. The scenery is rugged, the surface covered with lose sharp rocks. One has to take very much care not to slip, or some bad abrasion of skin would be following. I took that care, and rather went down on all four, if necessary. Some cactus, some low bushes, some petty solid agave plants, otherwise only sharp lose rocks everywhere. We saw one fox or wild dog on the beach today, some mouse holes, a few lizards, that’s about it on the animal side. Shells allover the rocks, carried up by birds?, pretty abalone, twirly mussels and solid white clam shells.\nI was back for lunch, cooked some noodles, and rested for a while, before I decided it’s so low wind and warm-ish today, I could now start to dye my gray roots of my hair…thought and done, and I started the messy job inside my tent. Lisa was of some assistance to take care about not having too much stains allover face and body and tent. When it came to rinsing time, I was hoping I wouldn’t come back out of the sea as a dark skinned person 🙂 The waves were prestty big, and I actually enjoyed the dip for a long while. The water is warm, maybe 20 deerees! Some good freshwater rinse, some good conditioner, and my hair was colorful and shiny again. |
Mila Teshaieva (b. 1974) uses photography to understand driving forces for constructed societies from the point of view of a curious researcher. She is working passionately to go over and further develop the traditions of the long form of storytelling, and in so doing, to draw attention to her subject matter through new powerful, innovative and resourceful ways. Her work often combines in-depth scientific research with special esthetics and opens new layers for a viewer to reevaluate the mechanisms, which construct nations, modify memories and thus invisibly influence our being.\nSince 2004 Mila has been engaged into long-term projects on the territories of former USSR, in particular, she dedicated many years working in the Caucasus and Caspian Sea region. This work has resulted in her first monograph Promising Waters that was published with Kehrer Verlag in 2013, and book “Faces and Stories of Entrepreneurs”, which she was commissioned and published by Swiss Development and Cooperation in 2015.\nMila’s work has received multiple distinctions for her work, among them 1st prize in NPPA Best of Photojournalism 2010, Critical Mass Book Award and PDN Photo Annual and appeared on the pages of Courier International, British Journal of Photography, Time Magazine Lightbox, among many others.\nHer projects were exhibited internationally, with the most recent solo exhibitions in Museum Art of West Coast (Föhr 2016), Haggerty Museum of Art (USA 2015), Blue Sky Gallery (USA 2015) Photoquai Biennial 2015 and are kept in multiple public and private collections.\nBritish Journal of Photography, Wired Raw File, NYTimes International, Time Magazine Lightbox , Neue Zurcher Zeitung, Die Zeit, Courrier International, Outlook Magazine China, Alternatives Internationales, The New Times, Forbs Ukraine, others.\nSwiss Agency for Development and Cooperation; Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit; UNICEF, International AIDS/HIV Alliance, SOS Children Village. |

Although this skort is a bit short for me, it is pretty much exactly what it says it is. The fit is perfect and the colour vibrant.\nRated 5 out of 5 by enggirl from great alternative to shorts! I really like the lightweight material, light and stretchy shorts underneath, and the useful pockets with mesh that aren't bulky. Shorts don't suit me, this skort is a great! I received several compliments first time I wore it.\nRated 5 out of 5 by usmcwife from Product overall was excellent & well made I am so impressed with the fit, material used, & comfort of this product. I ended up buying it in 2 colors & wish they had it in more.\nRated 5 out of 5 by Cynthiatheshopper from LOVE THIS SKORT! I absolutely love this skort to wear for casual, dress it up, golf, tennis. Great pockets, very comfortable. The inner shorts are the perfect material, more like underwear then shorts underneath. Not sure why so many reviews say this skort runs small, I wear an 8 and ordered a 10 which is OK, but a little big around the waist. A few reviews said it is too short, I think it is a bit too long. I am 5'7", and an athletic 150lbs, 42 years old. Pockets on this are wonderful also! Very flattering fit in the front and back. Again, love it!!!!!!!!!!!\nRated 5 out of 5 by Cher66 from Great comfortable anytime wear...Columbia...please make in black and brown ;o) I bought this for hiking as an alternative to shorts. I love them, the only thing is climbing over trees that might be over the trail, you really have to hike it up to get over but that's a rare occurrence. I now have three pair of these and two are size six, one is an 8. I like how the 8s feel around my middle. I'm 5'4 and 136-140....but even at 144 the 6s are ok, maybe just a bit more comfy with the top button undone. I wear these all the time, hikes and just weekends around the house.\nRated 5 out of 5 by Aqwa76 from Love! I love this skort! It is a great fit, cute and stylish. I wish the pocket was a bit bigger to fit my phone in it. Very comfortable, I live in it!\nRated 5 out of 5 by stubenrouc from Great for golf I love this as it is shorter than most golf styles!\nRated 4 out of 5 by tmurf from Loved the old style I currently own two of these skorts and love them. One was purchased three years ago and the second, less than two years ago. I purchase the third one to take on a cruise. I was disappointed that the sizing and length of skort had changed. The size was smaller now than in what I currently own. The length is short enough for a tennis skirt. These skorts were a stable in my summer and vacation wardrobes. Golf, luncheons, running errands, or zip lining. Please bring back old style. |

It wasn't uncommon, 10 years or so ago, to see slip-on sunglasses that were simply just smoked lenses and a clip that could attach to most any pair of prescription glasses. While the slip-on prosthetic sunglasses didn't always fit well, or even cover the whole lens, it was a field-expedient solution to too much sun in one's eyes. Sony, meanwhile, appears to have taken that ball and ran with it, bringing out a detachable organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display designed to turn most any pair of glasses into fully-fledged smartglasses.\nThe detachable OLED display is still in the prototype stage,currently known as SmartEyeglass Attach!. But what it has is a very novel prospect; simply take the detachable OLED and attach it to a desired pair of glasses, at the stem. With the device in place, it can then route information to the display presented right in the viewer's line of sight, just like Google Glass would do.\nThe device weighs just 40 grams, at last report, which makes it readily attached to just about any pair of glasses, and is counterbalanced somewhat by a band that goes around the back of a user's head. On the right side, a control board includes a processor, a sensor hub, Bluetooth modules and Wi-Fi modules to allow for connectivity, an electronic compass, an accelerometer, a hefty 16 gigabytes of storage, and even a touch sensor to select among displayed information. The display itself measures just 0.23 inches, which Sony notes to be among the world's smallest, yet still managing to offer up a healthy 640 x 400 resolution. That's actually a small improvement over Google Glass at 640 x 360.\nRelease dates for the system are somewhat up in the air at this point, but a prototype of SmartEyeglass Attach! is said to be being readied for show at CES 2015 in Las Vegas. Reports also suggest plans are in the works for software development kits (SDKs) for developers, and the devices can be adapted for a number of uses ranging from entertainment to the workplace.\nThis is a novel concept, and if Sony can keep the prices low, it may just have a Google Glass-killer on its hands. Why? Because one of the biggest issues with Google Glass, at least outside of the workplace, was its sheer potential for intrusiveness. Google Glass was banned from bars and movie theaters thanks to its recording potential, and some lawmakers focused, perhaps unduly, on the distraction factor of using such devices while driving. But with something like SmartEyeglass Attach!, the objections are largely lost. Users can take off and put on the display as needed, and that takes a lot of teeth out of the matter. Of course, there still needs to be specific controls for driving—smartglasses can be a huge help while driving just as much as a huge danger, depending on how the devices are used—but most anywhere that might object to the constant use of such devices can hardly object when the smart part of the glasses are easily removed. Plus, while Google Glass is looking into designer frames, Sony's SmartEyeglass Attach!, meanwhile, can augment any pair of glasses, allowing for immediate access to every designer's frames.\nOnly time will tell just how well this does; pricing, I expect, will be the largest make-or-break facet of Sony's SmartEyeglass Attach!. But, we could be looking at a time where every set of glasses is smart thanks to a clip-on tool. |

Diggin' In Virginia, as readers of this blog know, is a twice annual invitational relic-hunting event in Northern Virginia, organized by John and Rose Kendrick. I was fortunate to once again be invited to attend Diggin' In Virginia this Fall --here's a summary of the event and my finds.\nThis year, DIV returned once more to the Beauregard Farm in Brandy Station, Virginia. For anyone interested in the Civil War, just being able to walk on this incredible property is a treat. The Battle of Brandy Station, the largest Cavalry engagement in the Western Hemisphere, was fought on a large portion of the farm. Fleetwood Hill, described by Clark "Bud" Hall as "the most marched upon, camped upon, fought upon, fought over piece of real estate in American History," is partially within its boundaries. And in the Winter of 1863, large portions of the Union Army, including the 6th Corps under General Meade, were encamped here. The land is all largely unchanged since that time so it's pretty much heaven for any Civil War buff.\nThe weather during the drive to Virginia was overcast and Ihad concerns about the unpredictable and decidedly un-Southern temperatures I'd encountered on previous trips to Culpeper in late October/early November. As it turned out, the fears were unfounded and participants enjoyed three days of absolutely perfect weather.\nDIV has always started with a pre-hunt meeting. It's a time to sit down and enjoy a meal with old friends, visit the displays by companies such as North South Trader, American Digger Magazine, Predator Tools, and Don Dodson's North Georgia Detectors, and then learn details of the site, rules, directions, etc. This year, I almost immediately ran into Frank and Ted, two Culpeper locals who I met during my first DIV. Shortly afterwards, I saw Dan Frezza and Beau Ouimette and I also had the pleasure of meeting another Carolina-based Civil War historian and relic-hunter, Glenn. All in all, it's fantastic to get to talk in person with a bunch of Civil War aficionados at the pre-hunt meeting.\nI always have a difficult time sleeping the night before the first day of DIV. I like to spend the weeks before the hunt reading about the area where we'll be hunting in order to have a full appreciation of where I am and what I'm looking at. This year was no exception and I'd worked myself into such a feverish pitch of anticipation reading Eric Wittenberg's "Battle of Brandy Station" that I couldn't sleep. I finally gave up and got out of bed at 3:45AM and went downstairs to the lobby of the hotel. Mercifully, the hotel staff were in the act of setting up for breakfast and I was able to pour myself a nice, hot cup of coffee. This was soon afterward followed up by multiple pancakes and I was ready to go.\nImagine 400 guys in camouflage standing in the pre-dawn light with shovels and metal detectors over their shoulders. That's the scene on the morning of the first day of DIV. John Kendrick stood up in front of everyone, gave a few last minute directions, wished us luck, and with that DIV XXII officially commenced. Some people immediately started detecting the nearest field while others jumped in their cars to hunt other locations throughout the massive (~ 3000 acres) farm.\nTony, Dwight, Glenn, and I went to a field north of the Barbour house that sloped gradually downward to what today is a lake but which, during the Civil War, was a small stream known as Flat Run. Soon, we began to find button backs, bullets, and in my case, lots and lots of camp lead. This field also contained an incredible concentration of buck and ball loads. These were in vogue during the American Revolutionary War but still saw use in the early days of the Civil War in smoothbore muskets. The buck and ball load consisted of a .69 caliber ball and two (or more) .32 cal. rounds of buckshot. Those tiny .32 cal buckshot sound incredibly good to a GPX 4800 even when they're 10" down in the hot Virginia soil and consequently I spent a great deal of my time on day one digging dozens of pieces of buckshot. Amazingly, at the bottom of this same field another person located over 180 minie balls in a single hole.\nOn Day 2, we moved to a different field, one that elements of the 6th Corps had used as a camp during the winter of 1863. Here, I found a nice general service Eagle button on top of a prominent hill with a beautiful view of the surrounding terrain. I also recovered several .58 cal minie balls, a sword belt grommet, and knapsack hooks in this strategic location.\nLater that afternoon, I moved down the hill onto a flat plain where about 50 people had been hunting most of the day. There were dig holes everywhere but I knew that the density of relics in the area was high and that people seldom go slowly enough to hear the deep targets. Sure enough, I got a fantastic signal right in the middle of the dig holes that turned out to be another nice Eagle button.\nEagle button came out of this hole, surrounded by dig holes. Go slow!\nThis was the first of three relics that I found literally in other folk's footsteps. The two other instances were rather amusing. First, I found a spot in a cornfield where someone had kicked away corn husks in order to scrutinize a questionable signal. I passed the coil of my 4800 over the bare spot and got a very distinct bullet sound. Sure enough, I pulled a 3 ringer from about 8" down.\nThe last of these incidents was the best. I was again detecting in an area that had been hunted pretty thoroughly when I got an unmistakably good signal right in the middle of someone else's filled-in dig hole! I swung over the hole again and there was no question that it was a good target. So I stuck my shovel into the already-dug hole, lifted out the already loosened soil, and there in the middle of it was a pristine 3-ringer. How someone missed that one after digging the hole I have no idea but I sure appreciate the pre-dig.\nIn the waning hours of Day 2, I also found two pieces of a rare and unusual Shaler bullet. This was a single .58 caliber projectile comprised of 3 separate pieces. The theory was that the sections would separate in flight and cause more damage than a single round but with greater accuracy than the buck and ball load.\nDay 3 dawned and Tony and I returned to the field we'd hunted on the first day. Scouring its perimeter, we picked up a few good targets including a few dropped Sharps carbine bullets.\nMoving in the direction of the Barbour House, the number of signals increased and I found a J-Hook with a beautiful green patina less than 8" deep. Then, I found a massive .69 caliber minie ball. And another. Then a button back, and a .69 caliber round ball. I motioned for Tony who I've nicknamed "Turbo," and who was already 50 yards past the site, to come back and hunker down. He did and for the next couple of hours we recovered 8 or 9 of these huge bullets apiece.\nDuring the last three hours of the hunt, we moved to yet another field. This one was absolutely littered with iron signals and was obviously the site of a large encampment. Detecting here was extremely tedious however due to the sheer quantity of small iron signals. I was rather pleased when I finally dug a signal and it turned out to be bullet as opposed to yet another nail.\nCan you spot the 3 ringer?\nWe had 40 minutes left before DIV XXII officially ended when my radio squawked and Tony excitedly told me to "get over here." Tony had dug some camp lead and noticed that it was colored by ash. He widened the hole and saw more ashes, a clear indication that he had discovered a fire pit or even a hut. He invited me to help and we both started digging as carefully as we could.\nWe started finding fragments of glass from a brandy bottle. Then pieces of china plate. And finally, oyster shells by the dozen, some musket parts, beef bones, and more glass. The clock was ticking and we were digging like rabid hedgehogs to see if any intact bottles remained. Finally, with the sun setting and a large hole to fill, we had to stop digging, shovel the earth back into the crater we'd created, and hike back to where Dwight, our fellow relic-hunter and driver, was waiting for us.\nWhat Tony had just found was a spot where Union infantry, probably from Massachusetts, had feasted on beef, brandy, beer, and oysters from Chesapeake Bay during the winter of 1863. They'd even eaten off fine china. It was mind boggling luxury for such a remote area and at a time when Lee's army was fortunate to have shoes and rarely if ever enjoyed coffee. It spoke powerfully of the advantages of production and supply enjoyed by the Union Army.\nAs Tony and I hiked up the hill towards Barbour house, from which General Lee watched the Battle of Brandy Station unfold, I realized that the guys who ate the oysters 150 years ago whose shells we now carried in our backpacks gazed upon that exact same structure. And for a moment, I was transported back in time.\nDIV XXII finds including oyster dinner from 1863. Those yanks sure knew how to wage war.\nTo read more about Diggin' In Virginia and see the incredible finds made by others at DIV XXII, go to MyTreasureSpot. Thanks to John and Rose and all the DIV volunteer staff for yet another amazing DIV. Thanks also to +Kellyco Detectors for providing water to all DIV attendees again this year.\nAfter a long hiatus away from blogging, I'm finally back! Lots of updates coming over the course of the next week or so including a summary of Digging in Virginia 22 and accounts of several hunts here in the Raleigh/Durham area.\nSuffice to say, being a parent to two children under the age of three can seriously cut into your detecting time. |
Concept art for a bleak future?\nI'm kicking around a couple of ideas for a bigger project, and I figured I'd post them here (after all, this blog is for sharing, right?) My project (together with two friends) is some kind of comic book-length sci-fi story that we hope to start fleshing out before long. The trick is to avoid the clichés at the same time as you want to appeal to a sci-fi audience; and besides, there are some quite wonderful clichés within this genre, wouldn't you say? |
A beautifully hand carved miniature Look Kala Mai Mee Ta eyeless coconut careved Asura Deva God amulet, and one of the extreme rarities of the amulet pantheon from a highly preferred top master of Wicha Pra Rahu, Luang Por Pin, of Wat Srisa Tong, in Nakorn Pathom. There are many levels of detail found in the carved Kala Mai Mee Ta of Luang Por Pin, ranging from that of the simple village artisan, to the fine master craftsman.This exhibit is a Kot Kala Mai Mee Ta Phueak, minature self enclosed eyeless coconut shell, and is in very rare albinbo coconut shell.\nThe word 'Kot' means 'anomaly'. Eyeless Coconut is even more powerful than one eyed coconut in Thai Magical Belief System. The Albino Eyeless Kot Kala Mini Coconut Anomaly is of course considered perhaps the rarest of all Kot Kala.\nThis amulet comes (as do all) with free registered air parcel shipping worldwide, and a free gift. The Kot Kala amulet is exquisitely carved with Laoatian influenced Buddhist Art eminently visible with the triangular crown worn by Pra Rahu, and other fine details which show the carving was made by one of the Lao Ethnic Artisans who had moved since earlier generations to Nakorn Pathom, and blessed and inscribed with Agkhara by Luang Por Pin.\nA rare Ritual Artifact for Wearing as an amulet, or a Mini Bucha for Altar Worship with the World Famous Wicha of Wat Srisa Tong, empowered with the Magic of the preceding Lineage Masters of Wat Srisa Tong; Luang Por Dto, Luang Por Dtrai, Luang Por Dtan, Luang Por Lee, Luang Por Tong, Luang Por Choi, and his Kroo Ba Ajarn Luang Por Noi before him.\nThe Look Kala Ta Diaw, and Kot Kala Mai Mee Ta and Pra Rahu Sema Glab amulets of Luang Por Pin are for Bucha to Pra Rahu Asura Deva of the Solar and Lunar Eclipse. Tjhis exhibit is carved by a top artisan of Wat Sri Sa Tong, and empowere in ceremony during the eclipses of sun and moon, in Bucha Ceremony at Wat Srisa Tong, with Luang Por Pin, presiding over the Blessing Ceremony.\nBoth Luang Por Noi, and Luang Por Pin enjoy top status for Pra Rahu Kala Ta Diaw amulets, as does the temple of Wat Srisa Tong itself. When we speak of the Pra Rahu Sema Glab amulet in carved coconut shell, one immediately comes to mind with the names of Luang Por Noi, and Luang Por Pin being synonymous.\nThe Rahu amulets of Wat Srisa Tong themselves were made by Artisans, who were devoted Looksit of Luang Por Noi, who were mostly immigrants from Vientiane, in Laos, who moved to Thailand during the early Ratanakosin Period of Thai History. Luang Por would then would distribute them back to the devotees for protection and Serm Duang (improve fate and destiny).\nLuang Por Noi did this by raising a more stringent rule for the magical requirements in allowing only coconuts with one single eye to be used for the carving of the Rahu image. Luang Por Noi then passed on in turn all of his accumulated knowledge and prowess and the secrets of empowerment of the Pra Rahu Kala Ta Diaw, to Luang Por Pin. It is then with Luang Por Pin that the Wicha Pra Rahu Kala Ta Diaw was given to preserve and continue. Luang Por Pin then became the Master of the Wicha after the Passing of Luang Por Noi.\nThe Wicha continued on with the next abbot Luang Por Manich, which also passed away now in 2559 BE. We await the appearance of the next Master of the Wicha Rahu of Wat Srisa Tong, and hope to find and present as many examples of the amulets of this lineage as we can over the coming years, to collect and admire. |

A line is a track on the screen at a fixed position on which movements are executed. This style, with the movements running in fixed positions, was from the first versions of Traffic. The command is contained in the current version for backward compatibility, but it has been modified slightly to correspond to the section structure Traffic currently uses.\nLine lists are made up of numbers or intervals, separated by commas (1, 3-6, 8). The numbers of the lines on which the Movements belonging to the $LINE command are displayed.\nIf parameters for roadbed, waypoint, foreground and/or background ( W=, FG=, BG=, WP= ) appear in a $LINE command then these all appear on the screen at the start of the program (or Section) and remain there between all of the Movements contained in the $LINE. In this case the W=, FG=, BG= and/or WP= parameters, which may be specified, are subordinate to those of the $LINE command.\nIf no W=, FG=, BG= and/or WP= parameters appear in the $LINE command, the parameters for these values specified in the individual Movements take over. In this case, the roadbed, background, foreground and/or waypoint appear immediately before the Movement begins and disappear as soon as the Movement is finished.\nYou cannot use the W=, FG=, BG= and/or WP= parameters dividing among the $LINE command and the movement commands. If at least one of them is contained in the $LINE command, the all movement commands discard the W=, FG=, BG= and/or WP= parameters.\nThe detailed description of the $LINE command - together with the other segmentation commands - is in a separate chapter. |

Excluding the short-lived .NATO extension, the .EU extension is the single one in the world, which was meant for a sole entity and is still in use. The TLD was set up in 2005 and since then has achieved considerable popularity among the European community as it pertains to a whole community rather than to a particular country. Indeed, the European Union is a single market that ensures the free movement of goods and services, and with a dot EU website, you can connect with millions of potential clients without limiting the site to a single member state as you would with a country-specific top-level domain name extension. The pan-European character of the TLD is also demonstrated by the fact that the official portal of the EU is europa.eu and that the European Union institutions of the Union use 3rd-level domains under EUROPA.EU.\nYou can obtain a dot EU domain through our firm with merely a few clicks and it will go live only a few minutes later. With the modifications introduced by the Registry organization EURID in November 2012, .EU domains are managed significantly easier – their WHOIS contact details can be altered at any time without additional charges and transfers are allowed with an EPP authorization code, which is valid for a single transfer at a time. In this way, you can easily move over your .EU domain name to our firm and manage it through our Hepsia Control Panel tool. You will be able to edit its WHOIS details, to create Custom DNS records, to park and to forward your domain, etc. The sole prerequisite is that the Registrant ought to be an individual or a firm from one of the twenty-seven member states of the European Union. In this light, all notifications from EURID are sent to the registrants both in English and in their local language, which makes .EU domains even more accessible.\nDon't want to use more than one Control Panels so that you can take care of various .EU domain names? We have got exactly what you need! MasayaHost's Domain Manager will grant you total control of all of your domains regardless of their extensions. You can forget about complicated domain administration interfaces - now it's easy to update DNS records, assign URL forwarding, park limitless domains, etc. in a very user-friendly way with no more than several clicks.\nLast, but certainly not least, it is possible to flawlessly manage your domains and your websites from the very same Control Panel, provided that you also have a hosting account with MasayaHost. |
Aamir Khan did it last winter with "Dhoom: 3" and now with "PK", the versatile actor once again seems to be setting the box office on fire. His latest release, which is riding high on word of mouth, has minted over Rs.25 crore in the domestic market on its opening day, according to trade experts.\nDirected by Rajkumar Hirani and produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, the film released Friday, and evening and night shows witnessed good growth on day one.\nAccording to a source, the film has collected Rs.26.63 crore in India, making it the second highest non-holiday opening after "Dhoom: 3".\nTrade analyst Komal Nahta, who has praised the film, tweeted: "#PK 1st day all-India net collection: approx. Rs. 25.6 crore. Phenomenal considering that it's a social film. Word of mouth is fantastic."\nGirish Johar, who is aware of the economics of the Hindi film industry, shared on Twitter: "As predicted, #PK Day1 with 26.5crs aprox is 2nd Highest-Non Holiday start after #Dhoom3 beating #Kick! Top two slots belong to @aamir_khan (sic)."\nGoing by the reviews and feedback, the weekend will be fruitful for the film, which also stars Anushka Sharma, Sushant Singh Rajput, Sanjay Dutt and Boman Irani.\nMembers of the film fraternity have lauded the movie already for offering entertainment with a purpose.\nFilmmaker Karan Johar has called it "game changing" cinema, while Shekhar Kapur has appreciated it for giving precedence to quality over "box office numbers".\nTrade experts had conjectured that the movie could touch Rs.300 crore and turn into Bollywood's biggest ever entertainer too. But whether that happens, is yet to be seen in the forthcoming days. |

After years of difficulties with Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), our Nations won a major victory this spring when DFO agreed to suspend the 2018 commercial herring roe fishery across the Central Coast.\nCentral Coast herring populations have seen major declines from industrial fishing practices. The Heiltsuk and Kitasoo/Xai’xais Nations have each taken their own initiatives to help protect herring and uphold their Indigenous rights with respect to this resource.\n“In order to support the government’s reconciliation agenda, including supporting co-management of fishery resources… DFO has agreed to suspend the roe herring fishery in the Central Coast for 2018.” Victoria Postlethwaite, Herring Resource Manager, Fisheries and Oceans Canada.\nThis kind of dialogue gives our all Nations hope that we may be heading towards true co-management of fisheries in our territories; something we have been working towards for a long time. |
For more than a decade, the medical community has been concerned about continuity of care. Concern began when the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education implemented national duty hour limitations in 2003. These rules became more restrictive in 2010. The current rules include an 80-hour-per-week limit, no more than 16 hours consecutively (for interns) or 28 hours (for senior residents), and at least 8 hours off between shifts. With the blessing of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, 2 multicenter trials are beginning to study the impact of a return to less restrictive rules.\nThe root of the concern about duty hour limits is whether the physician fatigue that existed prior to the duty hour rules is more dangerous than the resulting discontinuity caused by shorter shifts and more hand-offs. However, an ideal shift length is not necessarily known or knowable. A 2010 systematic review examined shift length and patient outcomes, and no ideal shift length could be determined, although shorter shifts were associated with fewer errors in some studies. A more recent study showed no difference in intensive care unit patient outcomes with 12-hour, 16-hour, or 24-hour housestaff shifts.\nThe relationship between fatigue, shift length, hand-offs, and discontinuity is complex. It is clear that human performance suffers in the setting of too much fatigue. However, fatigue is not only a result of shift length; sleep debt, time of day, and other factors also play a role. Some of these factors are within the control of residency programs (scheduling to avoid sleep debt) and some are not (the amount of sleep individuals get when not on duty). Minimizing fatigue while minimizing discontinuity is a challenge. To understand how important discontinuity is to patient safety, we conducted the following study to examine objectively measured aspects of discontinuity and their impact on patient adverse events (AEs). We hypothesized that less continuity would increase the risk of AEs.\nThis prospective cohort study of physician schedules with retrospective chart review of patient outcomes was conducted at 3 sites affiliated with the internal medicine residency program: an academic Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC); a community teaching hospital; and a tertiary care private teaching hospital. The community hospital also has its own transitional-year intern program (see Appendix A, available online, for program details).\nWe recruited housestaff assigned to general medicine services between March 16, 2009 and March 15, 2010. We did not include medical students. Physicians gave written informed consent. For a team to participate in the study, all physicians on the team had to consent.\nA random sample of patients assigned to each participating team was selected each week, except for the 3 weeks surrounding the Christmas and New Year holidays. We excluded those times because we did not have staff available to collect data. We excluded patients that were 1) not on a participating team; 2) admitted directly to an intensive care unit; 3) cared for by a fourth-year medical student as an “acting intern;” 4) hospitalized for <48 hours (because many AEs require 48 hours to be labeled hospital-acquired); and 5) assigned to observation status at Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital because those patients were admitted only to the hospitalist service. We obtained a waiver of informed consent for patients. |
Envision yourself living in a tiny room, furnished with one stool. The only heat you can obtain is by burning animal waste in an iron stove. You have ample funds in the bank to sustain your hungry family, but you can’t access the money. You are friendless and stuck in a foreign country with little hope of getting home. As a child of God, what would your attitude be?\nArthur and Wilda Matthews were serving in China with the China Inland Mission when the Communists began forcing Westerners to leave the country in 1950. However, a church in Northern China invited the Matthews to work with them. Believing it to be God’s will, Arthur and Wilda stayed. They soon discovered that the situation was not as it had seemed. The Chinese were afraid to associate with them, and the government forbade them to preach or go out among the people. Since their presence was only endangering the Chinese church, the Matthews requested exit permits.\nIn the meantime, these missionaries found themselves in the situation previously described. What was their attitude? At first, they were determined to steadfastly endure their afflictions, knowing that God was in control. But gradually, the Matthews realized that trials are not sent to simply be endured, but to demonstrate in us the joy of complete obedience. Arthur Matthews wrote four things that encouraged his family during their time of testing: 1) God brought me here. It is by his will I am in this difficult place, and in that fact I will rest. 2) He will keep me here in his love, and give me grace to behave as I should. 3) He will make the trial a blessing, teaching me the lessons he intends for me to learn. 4) In his good time he can bring me out again—how and when, he knows.\nGod did bring them out. After two years, Wilda and their daughter, Lilah, were permitted to leave. They sailed to America where they waited until Arthur was finally released. Truly God was faithful to His own.\nThe Matthews’ trials were far from pointless; a loving heavenly Father planned that their very lives preach the message they were forbidden to speak. “The message above all others which the Chinese church needed was to see the truth lived out under circumstances equally harrowing with their own.”1 Be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.\n1 Read the entire story in Green Leaf in Drought-time, by Isobel Kuhn. |
We are proud to announce that Distributor has exited beta and is now openly available. Distributor is a free WordPress plugin that makes it easy to syndicate and reuse content across your websites—whether in a single multisite network or across the web with the REST API.\nWith Distributor, content creators can “push” or “pull” content between multiple sites, while retaining updates from the original source and preserving SEO. Copy, media, metadata, and categories all come along, and our fully extensible, open-source code base empowers developers to adapt it to even the most complicated workflows. To get the release version, and enable simple updates, head to DistributorPlugin.com and fill out the short registration form.\nMore than 100 organizations and developers participated in our Distributor beta program. Their feedback has helped us ensure that Distributor can be the trusted solution for sharing content between WordPress sites. We’ve already integrated many improvements contributed by beta testers, including 10up clients. Distributor has been approved for use on WordPress.com VIP and is ready for enterprise implementations. We have a roadmap of planned enhancements, with ambitious plans including more advanced media distribution and sophisticated “take down” features for the forced removal of distributed content.\nWe’re proud to be sponsoring and speaking at WPCampus, a conference focused on the application of WordPress in higher education, this week at Washington University. I’ll be presenting, “The grass is always greener: What do other CMSs offer higher education?” You can read more about our affinity for open source in higher education, and our participation in this event, by reading our guest post. Come find me or some of my colleagues at our sponsor table and attending sessions, or watch the live stream starting July 13th.\nWhen a client with several podcasts expressed interest in a simple way to manage their casts from within WordPress, we began with a review of existing solutions and plugins. We quickly identified a gap between bare bones plugins supporting a single feed and complicated plugins designed for advanced workflows, such as sponsor management. To fill that void, we created Simple Podcasting, an intuitive, lightweight, and forward looking plugin that includes beta support for Gutenberg.\nMy story about contributing to Google’s AMP project was published on Google’s official Open Source Blog. I received a Google Open Source Peer Bonus for my contribution, which added MathML support to AMP.\nA new WordPress content editing experience—Gutenberg—is coming soon to WordPress core, and 10up’s User Experience team is eager to understand how it will impact the experience for content creators. As a starting point, I created a usability test to study the experiences of professional, digital content publishers who are used to writing stories in the current editor. Building on other Gutenberg usability tests that focused on re-creating a prescribed layout, I instead asked professional writers to produce the same kind of content they already produce every day: write a simple story.\nThese tests were taken with Gutenberg 2.9.2 (the current build at the time the test was created). As of this post, the current version is 3.0.1.\nDuring the unmoderated test, participants described what they were thinking as they progressed through the task. Their words and screen movements were recorded with permission.\nSketch, a digital design app for macOS, enables the the rapid creation of wireframes using libraries of symbols and and reusable design elements. 10up has extended these capabilities with SketchPress: a library of WordPress admin interfaces, symbols, and icons. When wireframing admin interfaces, SketchPress frees up our designers’ time to focus on big picture problem solving and user experience challenges, rather than the repetitive minutia of button treatments and existing page layouts.\nRecently, SketchPress was recognized as the preferred admin wireframing resource by Make WordPress Design – the official core WordPress design team – and is now listed on their official Trello project board. This endorsement validates the utility of the project while inspiring us to continue iterating. We value feedback, contribution, and adoption by the community as we seek to share high quality open-source design resources as part of our commitment to openness and giving back.\nDownload SketchPress from GitHub and open it in Sketch. You’ll see a number of pages down the left side of the interface. The first page is an introduction to the document and outlines information about what is included. If you plan to regularly use SketchPress, you’ll probably want to set it up in the templates folder: clone or download the repo directly into the Sketch templates folder, and you can to begin a new Sketch wireframe from the newly-saved template. Add or remove elements to begin modeling WordPress admin interfaces. |

We recently gave Watson and Rosie’s playroom a little makeover. My goal was to make it a bright space with clean lines and something that looks equally as appropriate for a little girly girl as it does for a boy who loves trucks and fishing. I love the way it turned out! Mixing soft pink and baby blue is my favorite combo for kids.\nWe certainly needed a good storage solution, so working with ducduc on some custom furniture pieces was such a treat. They are a USA-based company that hand makes chic, eco-friendly furniture that is seriously to die for. Every piece can be customized to fit your style and favorite color scheme… and it’s all crafted by hand in Connecticut!\nWe had ducduc create this Campaign II Stacking Dresser with three Stacking Cubbies on top. You could stack only dressers so that you have all drawers or just stack only the cubbies—or, of course, a mix of both like we did. I love the drawers because it’s hidden storage for all the stuff, but I also love the cubbies for a fun display. Just wait until you see the inside of the drawers!!\nWe decided on a vibrant orange! I love how it plays as a contrast to the light grayish blue we used on the ends of the piece. You can literally give ducduc the name of any Benjamin Moore paint color you want and they will paint it! I don’t know the name of the orange color we used—they chose the specific color for me, but the blue color we used is Benjamin Moore Palace Pearl.\nThe drawers are nice and deep. We keep dress-up clothes in one and random things in the other. They’re easy for Watson to open and pull out whatever he wants. We have other baskets scattered throughout the room and on the shelves that also hold toys! Let’s be real, we also keep some toys in the living room, some in the garage, and then Watson has a few in the toy box in his room. So don’t let the cleanliness totally fool you. It’s a mix of great storage pieces and the fact that this isn’t all the toys!\nWatson is wearing his Lila + Hayes jammies from Ellifox. I thought about changing his clothes for these photos but decided not to because this is real life. Many days we are in PJs until lunch time!\nThese sweet bins by Annie Selke are perfect for storing toys. And babies.\nThis linen bin above is the Mina, but there’s also a smaller one called the Finn, which you’ll see elsewhere in the room with some books in it.\nThe third and final piece in the room by ducduc is this AMAZING chalkboard. It’s called the Sebastian Chalkboard and it’s my favorite favorite. The bottom is also a book ledge!\nThis little reading nook makes me so happy. I hope they both love books and spend hours cuddled up on these pillows with us while getting lost in the adventures of their stories!\nThe blush Pom Pom Throw and the Stone Washed Linen Pillows are both by Annie Selke.\nWe had Watson and Rosie’s silhouettes done by Patti Rishforth. She hand cut these in a matter of a few minutes—no tracing, lights or drawing. Just a pair of scissors and black paper. It was one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen and I’ll forever cherish these!\nRug: It’s indoor/outdoor, so it’s perfect for a play room because stains come up easily!\nArtwork above cubbies: Blakely Little and the fish is something Brandon painted on a date we had back in 2010 or so!\nI’m OBSESSED with that Barbie photo artwork!! So cool!! Love this entire playroom… we just converted our living room into a multipurpose living/dining room so now we finally have a playroom. Excited to deck it out and so inspired by your space!\nI agree, I am loving that Barbie art!! Can you please share a source for that as well?\nWhat an adorable playroom! Do you have a preferred trim paint color w/ your custom wall paint color?\nPrecious!!! I just love it all. I know your kids will enjoy it for years. Those silhouettes are really awesome – I would love to do that.\nWhere are the white rope baskets from? |

The Thurles Sarfields substitutes had barely taken their seats when Denis Maher, head firmly rooted towards the floor, joined his colleagues in the main stand.\nThis Munster semi-final was seconds old when Maher swung wildly from the throw-in and caught the helmet of Liam Markham.\nReferee Cathal McAllister didn’t hesitate, reaching for the back pocket to flash red.\nOff went Maher and whatever chance Thurles Sarsfields had 15-on-15, their task was considerably stiffened minus the services of their in-form forward.\nMaher had delivered an outstanding county final performance, hitting five points from play, and as Joe McGrath revealed afterwards, he was earmarked by Cratloe as the one player whose influence had to be curtailed.\nOut the window went Thurles Sarsfields’ game-plan and playing into the elements in the first-half certainly didn’t aid their cause.\nThe two-man full-forward line of Lar Corbett and Conor Lanigan simply did not work and neither did the subsequent decision to leave Cratloe centre-back Conor Ryan as the free man.\nCorbett, wholly ineffective throughout, was moved from one corner to the other, out the field and back in again.\nManager Tommy Maher’s early headache had developed into a severe migraine by the time McAllister called for half-time, 1-8 to 0-4 they trailed.\nFor Cratloe, this fairytale season continues. Winning both codes in Clare was hailed as a “once in a lifetime achievement”, but the provincial double can no longer be dismissed as a pipedream.\nWith a first Munster club hurling final appearance nailed down, the footballers travel to Dungarvan next weekend to square off against The Nire.\n“We are like kids in a sweetshop at the moment coming up to Christmas. We don’t know whether to turn left or to turn right, we are enjoying the situation. We don’t know when the shopkeeper is going to come and kick us out on the road,” chuckled manager Joe McGrath.\nCratloe struggled in the early exchanges to capitalise on their numerical advantage and trailed 0-3 to 0-2 on nine minutes, a superb Michael Cahill effort and a Tommy Doyle brace restoring confidence to the visitor’s endeavours. Thereafter arrived the contest’s crucial period, the Clare side scoring five unanswered points through Markham, Conor McGrath, Cathal McInerney and the Collins brothers, Sean and Podge.\nMcGrath twice hit the post during this spell and when set-up by Podge Collins on 19 minutes, ‘keeper Patrick McCormack produced an outstanding save to deny the corner-forward.\nAt the other end of the field, the Cratloe rearguard, anchored by Conor Ryan, Enda Boyce and David Ryan, hardly put a foot wrong — Sars’ starting front six registering just four points from player over the hour.\nPa Bourke’s free on 26 minutes heralded their first score in a quarter of an hour. The gap stood at three. It mattered not. The traffic flowed in only one direction. Sean Collins teed up a Liam Markham point in the subsequent action.\nOn the stroke of half-time, the Thurles wall collapsed. Conor McGrath supplied the delivery, Gearóid Considine cleverly batted down possession to the onrushing Podge Collins and the centre-forward escaped the clutches of Padraic Maher to flick to the net.\n“They had the wind in the first-half and they made no inroads into us. We said at half-time if we could hold the seven-point lead we had we would see it out. We did just that,” continued McGrath.\nThurles desperately required a positive opening at the change of ends, but it was the outstanding pair of Markham and McGrath that continued to drive Cratloe forward — the latter hitting eight second-half points.\nPa Bourke’s accuracy from the dead ball ensured they never trailed off and three points on the hop entering the final quarter, two Bourke frees sandwiching a fine Billy McCarthy effort, reduced arrears to 1-15 to 0-13 — the closest Thurles would come of their opponents.\nCratloe, as you’d expect, had eased considerably on the throttle – minds already turning to the big ball.\nMcGrath, fittingly, concluded proceedings with three points, his final free of the afternoon awarded for a foul on Podge Collins. The centre-forward had shown a clean pair of heels to Ronan Maher and was dragged to the ground as he moved away from Padraic Maher.\nCratloe’s fitness, even at such a late stage, never faltered.\nScorers for Cratloe: C McGrath (0-11, 0-5 frees, 0-1 ’65); P Collins (1-2); L Markham (0-3, 0-1 free); S Collins, C McInerney (0-1 each).\nScorers for Thurles Sarsfields: P Bourke (0-8, 0-7 frees); T Doyle (0-2); B McCarthy, M Cahill, S Cahill, C Lanigan (0-1 each).\nCRATLOE: G Ryan; S O’Leary, M Hawes, D Ryan; S Chaplin, C Ryan, E Boyce; L Markham, D Collins; S Gleeson, P Collins, S Collins; C McInerney, G Considine, C McGrath.\nSubs: D Browne for Considine (36 mins), B Duggan for D Collins (55).\nTHURLES SARFIELDS: P McCormack; M Cahill, David Maher, S Maher; R Maher, P Maher, M Gleeson; S Cahill, Denis Maher; B McCarthy, A McCormack, L Corbett; C Lanigan, T Doyle, P Bourke.\nSubs: R Ruth for A McCormack (38 mins), M O’Brien for T Doyle (43).\nDenis Maher had been the key man for Thurles Sarsfields in their run to a 33rd county championship title and his sending off less than a minute in robbed the visitors of their in-form forward.\nCratloe’s fairytale run continues. Yesterday’s win marked their 12th in 16 Sundays. The club stand one hour away from a place in both Munster finals.\nAidan McCormack drilling wide from a placed ball 30 yards from goal in the 5th minute. A shocking miss by the Thurles Sarsfields centre-forward.\nLiam Markham was superb around the middle for Cratloe, but there was simply no stopping Conor McGrath in front of goal. The corner-forward finished with 0-11, Michael Cahill enduring a torrid afternoon in trying to keep tabs on the Cratloe ace.\nThurles boss Michael Maher opted for a two-man full-forward line following Maher’s dismissal, but to no avail. The later decision to leave Conor Ryan as the free man in the Cratloe defence beggared belief as the centre-back hurled up a storm.\nCathal McAllister correctly applied the rulebook when sending Maher to the line. Conor Ryan picked up a yellow card before the second half started though it was not clear what for.\nCratloe play Kilmallock in the Munster decider on November 23. |

Jamieson’s is a family owned business, which has specialised in wool from the native Shetland sheep for 5 generations. The family are dedicated to the survival of this unique fibre and as each new generation joins the business, this promotion becomes their life’s ambition.\nThe business was started in the early 1890’s. Set up by Robert Jamieson in Sandness, on the far west coast of the Shetland Isles. From his shop, he bought or exchanged for goods, knitwear from the local crofters. The knitted goods were then sold on to meet the public demand for fashionable Shetland hosiery beyond the island’s shores.\nOver the next century, each generation of Jamieson brought their own skills and ideas to develop and progress the business. Andrew (Robert’s son) became one of the islands first wool brokers, buying the raw wool clip from the crofters and shipping it to Scotland’s mainland for processing. At the time, Shetland wool was believed to be too fragile to be spun on industrial machinery so it was blended with wool from coarser breeds. The very best blend of 'Shetland' yarn produced was only about 60% pure. This blended yarn never fulfilled the family’s dream of 100% pure Shetland knitwear; grown, spun and knitted in the Shetland Isles. |

Two strong foci can be discerned from the past work.\nPET-radiochemistry starts in the radionuclide production target. Research with radionuclide production and targetry with the aim of understanding in-target processes, i.e. ”hot-atom” chemistry and targetry. From this follows production of high quality labelling precursors for PET-radiochemistry.\nPET is a tracer method only if substances are synthesised in tracer amounts. Synthesis of high specific radioactivity 11C and 18F tracers, development of methods and application for production of said tracers.\nDevelopment of automation for both radionuclide production as well as for radiotracer synthesis. This is mandatory; as radioactivity amounts can be very high and even more importantly, the complexity of the labelling procedures make them very susceptible to errors of human operators.\nPreclinical evaluation of the radiotracers. The tracers are studied in various in vivo, ex vivoand in vitro biological models, in order to determine their suitability as PET tracers. This work is carried out as soon as the tracer is available from radiochemistry. This helps us to direct radiosynthetic development on modification on lead molecules. Tracers of lesser interest can also be halted in the radiosynthetic development process, and efforts directed to others. The successful candidates are then further evaluated and eventually taken into use in clinical projects.\nIn the Gadolinia radiochemistry laboratory, six hot-cells are available for radiotracer production and pre-clinical research. These hot-cells are equipped with various automated synthesis devices for 11C-methylation as well as 18F nucleophilic, electrophilic and fluoromethylation devices. Adequate analytical instrumentation is also available. The MGC-20 cyclotron (k=21, multiparticle, max proton beam intensity 10 microamperes), the Gadolinia ”hot-laboratory”, provides this laboratory with the required radio-isotopes. Furthermore the MediCity Preclinical imaging laboratory is available for evaluation and studies of radiotracers.\nEducation in radiochemistry on an academic level started in 2004 at the University of Turku with establishment of a Chair in Radiochemistry.\nTo efficiently make use of the increased capabilities in radionuclide production and radiosynthesis.\nTo develop radionuclide production with the aim of producing large quantities of 11C-, 13N-, 15O-, 68Ga- 18F-labelled precursors with high specific radioactivity. Also 64Cu is developed.\nTo develop methods and automation for synthesis of high specific radioactivity PET radiotracers.\nTo develop PET radiotracers for studies in humans in both health and disease.\nThe first research aim includes development of improved cyclotron target technology for the reliable production of 11C, 18F and 64Cu in various chemical forms with a view to increasing production yields, specific activity, chemical purity, improving the economics of production and the availability of the radiotracers. This international cooperation together with the technologies we have earlier developed and will further develop for this, make this approach a viable route to realize the strategic aim.\nThe second aim will to a large part be realized through our own research efforts, together with scientific collaboration with academic groups worldwide.\nThe third aim will advantageously be carried out in collaboration with pharma industry. The synthesis of cold precursors for labelling synthesis, reference standards etc. is outside the capabilities of our organization. We therefore actively seek collaboration with outside organizations, prioritizing common projects with a high scientific interest in line with our overall research strategy. |

While embracing the beadwork traditions of countless generations and cultures before us, the goal I have for every daily use/daily wear accessory, is to create a functional and hard wearing piece, more often than not quite simple and understated, but versatile. This is one of my favorite pieces in the Westward Beaded collections, which is why it’s the first of the lot to officially be listed here in the shop.\nMade with a white and red gemstone motif, with sturdy, all brass, elements used for stringing, closure. Wear it occasionally, or never take it off, this accessory is good for the mountain, beach, desert, and urban landscape. It’s easily a stand alone piece, or pairs exceptionally well next to just about anything, such as the brass A’nówara cuff. And each one will be made to order, to create a custom fit off of your exact wrist size. |
Opossums can be extremely damaging, especially once they enter a property. These nocturnal marsupials are notorious for sneaking under houses, and low attics. Opossums are capable of damaging insulation, vapor barriers, ac units, and creating damaging entry holes. Catching problem opossums in a timely manner can be very effective in saving the integrity of one’s home and property. |

Slovenia is a small Central European country and has borders with Austria, Croatia, Italy and Hungary. For such a small country Slovenia boasts an extremely varied landscape, from snow-capped mountains and glacial lakes in the Alps to ever-green olive plantations at the coast.\nDrive to wine growing hills, golden wheat fields or mysterious karst caves, wherever you travel in this beautiful country you will never be far from lakes, mountains and the most stunning scenery.\nSlovenia is a place where time seems to have stood still in the many picturesque villages where you will meet friendly people who keep their traditions alive with crafts such as lace-making, pottery and suh roba(wooden utensils), and it is a land full of CASTLES. Every province has castles; from ruins to well preserved ones, there are some stunning examples with many a legend to be told.\nLjubljana, in the Central Slovene basin, is one of the youngest European capitals and throughout the year the city offers plenty of sports, cultural events and entertainment.

In a secluded valley lies the Carthusian monastery Pleterje, once home to hundreds of monks and now only around 20 live there.\nBrestanica in Posavje (The Sava Basin) has an old legend. There were two brothers in 15 H.C. who lived in a castle and they had a fight. One of them built a new castle by the Sava, the Rajhenburg Castle. This was changed into a monastery in 1881 and during WWII a detention camp and is now a museum. Kostanjevica na Krki is one of the oldest Slovene towns and is now one of the smallest.\nZasavje (Sava Valley) is the coal mining area, Koroska has forests, green valleys, picturesque villages and isolated farms and Stajerska(Styria) is known for cultural monuments, friendly people, noblest wines, excellent traditional dishes, historical heritage, thermal springs, lakes and its monasteries.\nIn the Drava Region on the Drava Plain you will see straw-roofed farmhouses and Maribor, the second largest city, is situated at mouth of the Drava Valley. Maribor has a well preserved and almost completely restored old town core with the remains of ancient walls. The nearby town of Lent has a vine which is over 400 years old and has become the symbol of Maribor and the wine-growing Slovenia. There is no older vine in the world and in the centre of Maribor is a wine cellar over 200 years old.\nPtuji is a monument town and has one of the largest and mightiest castles in Slovenia with many Roman remains, and at Markovc is the largest dam. Every year at Mardi Gras, Ptuji has a massive carnival where the kurent, a creature from the other world, is paraded.\nThe kurent is supposed to be a sign of spring, fertility and new life, but is wrapped in mystery as nobody knows which ancient times and beliefs it came from and what are its true intentions.

Bread is very important to the Slovenes and the tradition of home-made bread goes far back when bread was made once a week.\nDifferent regions have their specialities. In Styria the soup is a must try; apart from the renowned sour soup they even make wine soup! The high mountains in Carinthia is renowned for its boiled struklji with buckwheat filling, and koroski mavzlje made of the meat from pig's head, fried bread buckwheat porridge and different spices, all together wrapped in pork meat and roasted.\nUpper Carniola is known for excellent cheese, and even today food is based on meat and milk. No other region could compete with Gorenjska when it comes to the number of porridge dishes!\nThere is so much that Slovenia has to offer that it is impossible to do this beautiful country justice and we could go on and on forever.

Home / US Airways / Having Trouble Using the US Airways Website? Here’s a Solution.\nThe US Airways website is not doing too well with all the stranded passenger traffic today.\nI was trying to change seats on a flight not affected by the storm and decided to try the mobile site.\nYou won’t be able to rebook a flight there, but I don’t recommend rebooking a flight on their website anyway. I’ve seen some strange things happen. (During a winter advisory, it was trying to charge someone I knew $500 to switch their flight even though it was supposed to be free). I recommend calling or speaking to someone in person at the airport.\nNext The Creepiest TSA Agent Ever? |
