Are your kids being pressurised to kids to do too much too soon? If a child's afternoon is choc o block with organised activities, kids may not be getting enough time to actually just be kids or even just spend valuable time with the family.
Over-scheduling kids with after school activities, can lead to increased levels of stress on the child and the family. It is important to get the balance right.
So how much is too much?
Should your child go to basketball practice 5 days a week? Are 3 days enough?
Often, parents are confused when it comes to understanding how much is too much with reference to after school activities.
Here is a simple guide that will help you decide how much is too much for your child.
5 years old:
Your child is just beginning to learn to interact and get used to discipline. Their after-school life should be simple and carefree. One or two classes per week are enough initially. If your child gets used to these and expresses an interest in more activities, introduce them gradually.
6 years old:
One or two activities per week, play dates and playground visits are encouraged. After a full day at school, your child needs a healthy outlet for pent up energy. Physical activities and noncompetitive sports are best for this age.
7 years old:
Your child is old enough to express opinions on what activities they are interested in. Many children begin to learn a musical instrument around this
age. However, allow your child some 'alone time' during which they can unwind.
8 years old:
Socialisation begins to become paramount. Team sports are a great choice. Developing motor skills, painting, drawing etc are also important. Let your child explore areas of interests. However, ensure to leave aside enough time for the family and play time.
9 years old:
At this age, the child will tell you what they like. They need to getinvolved in activities that will boost their confidence. This will also help them manage stress as this is the time when social pressure is beginning to take centre stage. However, homework will also be beginning to mount up. Therefore, it is important to balance schoolwork with other activities.
10 years old:
You child will be bubbling with energy and will want to do just about everything. However, they may conveniently push studies to the background. So, close supervision is required. Keep one or two days free for family time and other activities. Now is a fantastic time to get your child interested in community service.
11 to 13 Years Old:
Steer them away from TV. Encourage engagement in activities that fuel learning. Academic performance can be improved by encouraging them to join clubs like a scouts program, language clubs, chess clubs etc. As a rule of thumb, 16-20 hours a week of extra activities should be plenty. However, ensure to look out for signs of burn out.
As a parent, it is important to closely observe your child and base your decisions on feedback from them. | commoncrawl |

Best to visit this place outside of holidays otherwise it is extremely busy . You can hire bicycles and tandem bikes to travel around the lake . It has great bike paths and scenic . The lake is huge and to go around the whole lake is a ride in excess of 40 km . Plenty of places to buy...
Great walking paths, some nice views, and some terrific temples. If you happen to be in the area, this is a good place for a run or a walk, and on a clear day, a climb up the mountain is worth it for the view. The only disappointment is the filthy water in the lakes/ponds.
i often visit here to bike around the lake or just walk or picnic on my he shores, in the evening is best because of the ambiance the lake lends to the surrounding hotels and eateries.
This is a place I will definitely visit time and again
I am an American living in Songshan Lake so I spend a lot of time enjoying it's beauty. From the main "business" area near the Hyatt or Aloft Hotels, there is easy access to the lake, where there is a paved path that goes around the lake. On this first section of the path, no bicycles are allowed, so if...
Early morning walks around the lake are more than invigorating the are also a thing of beauty. We stayed at an apartment nearby and the views of this gorgeous lake we stunning. In an area of high density, this lake is a real oasis of stunning beauty. Looking forward to our return.
A nice getaway from the surrounding bustling China towns. I recommend seeing the entire lake, but would rent a bike given the lake is fairly large.
This is a good place to relax and watch what is going on and many Chinese families come here and enjoy the park and lake but on a public holiday it is manic but still enjoyable and worth a look
This was an 8.5 sq. km lake area. I visited briefly while on a tour with a colleague, and I found the place quite beautiful. It has several pathways for walking, and I could see it as a romantic spot. It is definitely a popular place to visit.
I stayed at the Hyatt Regency hotel by the lake side. From my room, I had a great view of the lake. It is nice to take a walk by the footpath around the lake, but, please don't do it on any Sunday; as you may have the whole city there to accompany you.
After lunch my coworkers and I took a 3 person bike out for a spin around the lake for a few hours - highly recommended you visit if you're in the Dongguan Area! | commoncrawl |

At the tender age of 24 and overwhelmed with the pressures of getting in the corporate world, I chose to explore a fantasy that had stuck around in the back of my mind for years: the enigmatic world of prostitutes. I had actually heard that engaging with an expert companion could provide the ideal escape from the tedious routine of everyday life, using lustful encounters that few had the privilege of experiencing. Therefore, driven by interest and a burning desire for experience, I decided to immerse myself in this alluring and illegal world.
It all began with a basic online search for a brothel renowned for providing charming and expert friendship. Amongst lots of, one facility stood apart in specific-- a concealed gem, referred to as a lavish facility with charming and mystical women, each possessing a range of unique skills to accommodate every desire.
A day later, I discovered myself standing nervously in front of the simple entryway to a dimly lit, large Edwardian house-- a building that looked entirely ordinary from the outdoors but was rumored to house unthinkable pleasures within. With unstable hands and a racing heart, I approached the door, took a deep breath, and knocked.
As the door opened, inviting me into the elegant and mystical interior, I was welcomed by Madam Lucretia, the alluringly sophisticated hostess. She invited me with raven-black hair cascading around an antique silk bodice, her deep green eyes gazing seductively into my soul. A sultry smile used her lips, and without saying a word, she blazed a trail down a long hallway lined with plush carpets and decorated with decadent paintings and flickering candlelight.
At the end of the corridor, Madam Lucretia gestured towards a heavy wooden door with detailed etchings, teasing a dark, erotic world waiting to be checked out. As the door creaked open, I was led into a lavish waiting room, where a range of stunning females sat, each dressed in delicious garments designed to highlight their special appeal. Their gazes satisfied my own, using a smoldering promise of tempting passion and unchecked euphoria.
My eyes were drawn to one sensational appeal who stood apart from the rest: Raven, a statuesque, bewitching female dressed in a crimson lace gown that hugged firmly to her curves. Her captivating eyes, colored like liquid gold, appeared to pierce my soul as if she could tease apart every one of my secret desires.
With a single look, my choice was made; I approached Raven, the magnetism in between us indisputable, I handed Madam Lucretia a heap of money to protect our rendezvous. She smiled wickedly as she accompanied us into a private chamber decorated with soft velour drapes, luxurious cushions, and flickering candlelight that cast lascivious shadows on the walls.
We exchanged hushed whispers and shared a soothing glass of burgundy red wine to disappear the recurring stress and anxiety. Surrounded by the intoxicating fragrance of jasmine and an ever-present sexual stress, our discussion quickly turned flirtatious, and I understood it was time to start the intimate journey I had been seeking.
Raven's active fingers traced over my chest as our lips hungrily satisfied for the very first time, her tongue teasing mine as we melted into each other's welcome. Our starving mouths continued their heated dance as our clothing discovered their way off, one by one, disposed of like the remnants of our sticking around bookings.

Enjoying the experience of skin versus skin, I gasped as Raven expertly stroked my throbbing desire. She led me to a big, extravagant bed decorated with increased petals, and with a teasing smile, she blindfolded me and protected my wrists with silken cuffs. The adventure of complete surrender fueled my arousal even more.
Soft whispers in my ear bespoke an evolution in our fevered encounter - the blindfold removed, my eyes blinked available to discover a large mirror above the bed, capturing every detail of our erotic tryst. Raven's chocolate curls fell over her bronzed figure as she descended upon me again, her warmth straddling me as she lowered herself onto my throbbing, rock-hard member.
The sight of our bodies braided sent out a shiver down my spine - a stunning, ethereal sight that I had actually only ever seen in my wildest dreams. With each slow, sensual motion, our connection reinforced; the pleasure took us higher and higher, bringing us closer to the pinnacle of hedonistic bliss.
Our candlelit reflections danced as if entranced, in the mirrored ceiling above; the strength of our enthusiastic union unfolding before our extremely eyes. The space ended up being a phase on which our deepest desires were played out, as we savored the carnal understanding of this prohibited world.
As our lustful crescendo reached its zenith, our moans increased in enthusiastic unison, echoing through the chamber and reaching skyward. Our bodies shivered together, the pleasures we shared trembling through us like the earth's own heartbeat.
The world stood still in that minute; our thrilled release let loose a torrent of transcendental bliss that threatened to consume us whole.
Our breaths slowly went back to typical, and as we untangled from our enthusiastic embrace, we shared a deep, tender kiss of shared gratitude. I checked out Raven's exotic, enigmatic eyes, thankful for her assisting me through this erotic odyssey into the world of expert friendship-- an indelible, life-altering experience that I would never ever forget.
This surprise space, enshrouded by darkness and yet brightened by the flames of passion, had unveiled a world of unbridled pleasure and lascivious experience. And as I strolled away from that Edwardian house, my heart pounded with a mix of relief and excitement, I understood that I had only just started my descent into the sensuous and charming realm of the night.
As Raven guided me to the luxurious bed, her golden eyes gleamed with a pledge of additional exploration into the uncharted worlds of enthusiasm. She motivated me to rest, my back versus the cool silk sheets. Raven's nimble fingers traced patterns upon my chest, generating shivers as she concentrated on my delicate nipples, her tongue following in the exact same pattern, her warm breath joining my own breathed out moans.
Captivated by her every move, I felt my arousal swelling further, which did not go undetected by this bewitching beauty. Her slim fingers moved down my body, carefully touching my inner thighs, before lastly, she wrapped her warm, velour hands around my throbbing member. A knowing smile played on her lips as she leaned in to share a sensual, deep kiss, brushing her soft, complete breasts against my chest at the same time.
Consumed by an insatiable desire for one another, our hands eagerly wandered each other's bodies with feverish strength. Raven straddled me, placing herself above my pulsating manhood.
Raven continued to ride me, her balanced undulations growing more impassioned with each passing 2nd, causing a sultry collection of moans and gasps to fill the air. The feeling of her breasts, delightfully bouncing above me, and the enchanting noise of skin colliding sent out shockwaves of euphoria through my spine. I rose to her, cupping her breasts and teasing her erect nipples in between my fingers, generating pleasured whimpers from Raven in reaction.
Wanting to take control, I managed to masterfully flip our positions, positioning Raven underneath me. With a primal hunger, I explored her body. I locked my mouth around one of her inflamed nipples, nibbling and snapping my tongue over her hardened bud, while driving two fingers into her damp, inviting core.
With a stylish motion, I hooked Raven's legs over my shoulders, positioning my throbbing shaft at her entrance. With a shared glance, she encouraged me to thrust into her. Immersed in her heat again, my mind started to race with a plethora of spectacular experiences.
I set the rhythm of our lovemaking, alternating in between firm thrusts and tender caresses, each motion drawing forth a symphony of breathless groans from the pair people. My stamina was pushed to its limitations as the intoxicating connection between us continued to intensify.
Raven's gaze followed mine, and with a quiet nod, she offered her authorization. Taking it in my hand, I traced Raven's shivering body with it, sliding it in between her breasts and over her collarbones before directing it to her moistened core.
Slowly, I reduced the slick glass within her, her moans sustaining my desire to see her encapture pure euphoria. As I all at once filled her with the toy and continued my eager thrusts, she clutched the sheets below her, her eyes rolling back in sheer bliss.
The intensity of our shared enthusiasm reached its inescapable crescendo. We crashed into climactic waves of pleasure, our bodies shivering and laced. The heat between us ignited a fire that just we had the power to both kindle and satiate.
As we lay there breathless and spent, hearts pounding in our heaving chests, I knew that I would treasure every brilliant, spicy detail of this entrancing encounter with Raven-- the mesmerizing woman of the night who had directed me into the hypnotic realm of professional friendship.
Savoring the experience of skin against skin, I gasped as Raven expertly stroked my throbbing desire. As Raven assisted me to the elegant bed, her golden eyes gleamed with a promise of more exploration into the uncharted worlds of passion. Raven's active fingers traced patterns upon my chest, generating shivers as she focused on my delicate nipples, her tongue following in the very same pattern, her warm breath socializing with my own exhaled moans.
I reached up to her, cupping her breasts and teasing her erect nipples between my fingers, eliciting pleasured whimpers from Raven in action.
Taking it in my hand, I traced Raven's shivering body with it, moving it between her breasts and over her collarbones before assisting it to her moistened core.

KROHNE Oil & Gas is a dedicated expert division which puts one of the industrys largest engineering teams to work on the technologies that matter most to the businesses we serve.
For all of our clients processes, from the well head, through pipelines, onto tankers and into the terminals and refineries, accurate and reliable measurement is essential to achieving the operational excellence they strive for.
In a continuously evolving cycle of innovation, KROHNE Oil & Gas Division provides the entire spectrum of process instrumentation and measurement solutions our clients need to gather the data and control the processes essential to running their businesses profitably.
The M-PHASE 5000 is our latest innovation and truly represents the KROHNE spirit of driving technology forward. It features brand new multiphase flow measurement using magnetic resonance technology and was developed specifically for the oil and gas industry.
2 ultimate Efficiency
M-PHASE 5000 Pure profit from the well
Production allocation
3 ultimate Efficiency
When you can do more with less you save big on space, time and money. The M-PHASE 5000 reduces the amount of measuring equipment needed and lets you manage wells more efficiently.
4 ultimate Efficiency
Thanks to the magnetic resonance technology of the M-PHASE 5000, the device is able to precisely measure very small fractions of oil in water in real time. M-PHASE 5000 can therefore deliver the just-in-time data for making the crucial decision to close a well the moment it ceases to be profitable.
-50 Loss per well (K$)
-150 -200
-300 0.950 0.960 0.970 0.980 0.990 1.000 Water cut
5 superior Performance
The accuracy and versatility of the M-PHASE 5000 is simply unrivalled and make it a particularly attractive solution for the oil and gas industry. Finally, there is a device which uses a single measurement principle to measure multiphase flow. Well known from its application in medical imaging, the magnetic resonance technology of the M-PHASE 5000 makes it possible to measure oil, gas and water flow rates simultaneously and makes test separators practically obsolete.
6 superior Performance
M-PHASE 5000 represents a highly economical value proposition. Unlike conventional meters, it featuresan uncommonly large dynamic range, which means that it is the only flowmeter ever needed on a wellover its entire lifetime.
Its ability to measure with a high degree of accuracy under a wide range of conditions entails a numberof advantages that directly translate into tangible cost savings.
M-PHASE 5000 features comprehensive inline fluid characterisation, which in effect eliminates theneed to take samples and the sample handling processes associated with it.
The flowmeter automatically compensates for changes in conditions, such as a change in the salinityof water. Emulsions can be measured irrespective of an oil continuous or water continuous mixture.Sand, scaling, wax or hydrates have no effect on the measured liquid flow rate and only have a minorimpact on gas flow rates.
Since magnetic resonance technology works on a molecular level, the flowmeter is able to handle a widerange of flow regimes, and the full bore design virtually eliminates pressure drops.
7 measuring Principle
M-PHASE 5000 is designed to replace conventional multiphase flowmeters, which generally fall into two categories inline flowmeters, which combine several measurement modalities including radioactive sources, and separation based flowmeters in which fluids have to be partially separated before they are measured.
Because of the advantages it represents, KROHNE has chosen to apply Magnetic Resonance as the single measurement principle to simultaneously measure oil, gas and water flow rates with one device.
In simple terms, Magnetic Resonance (MR) is a physics principle well known from its application in medical imaging and has been the subject of several Nobel Prize-winning research endeavours.
MR makes use of a fundamental property of atoms and in effect makes it possible to count hydrogen atoms. Since oil, gas and water all contain hydrogen, multiphase flow can also be measured using MR. For this purpose the fluids are magnetised and subsequently excited by radio frequency pulses. The hydrogen atoms respond to the pulses and send back echoes which are recorded. The amplitude of the echoes and the rate at which they decay is used to calculate the flow rates of oil, gas and water.
8 measuring Principle
9 innovative Construction
Its full bore, straight tube design does not restrict the flow line and eliminates wear of internal parts and pressure drops.
10 innovative Construction
11 easy Handling
As a single device multiphase flowmeter which can perform inline fluid characterisations of oil, water and gas, the M-PHASE 5000 holds several key advantages over competitive meters. It is a highly effective, low-maintenance instrument which demonstrably helps reduce costs.
No samples needed Use of the M-PHASE 5000 completely eliminates the need to take samples and all the complex logistics and processes associated with that procedure alone. Since the fluid characterisation takes place at actual line conditions, the extra step of a conversion from lab conditions to actual line conditions is eliminated.
No radiactive source Maintenance becomes a straightforward task. The absence of the radioactive sources means that the complex maintenance procedures around that become a thing of the past.
12 easy Handling
Transparent measurementOverall, the M-PHASE 5000 introduces a never-before attained level of ease andtransparency to the measurement of fluid fraction and velocity with a singlemeasurement principle.
Fits in perfectlyOne of the design goals for the M-PHASE 5000 as a stand-alone flowmeter was to makeits physical integration into any environment as simple as possible the flowmeter isinstalled horizontally, connected to the piping with two flanges.
Always stableFor mobile applications, or to protect the flowmeter fromextra harsh conditions, it can optionally be installed in adedicated frame.

A story NOT about iBooks.app
Some fellow perfects the bound book. He threatens to have drawn and quartered anyone who tries to make a similarly improved book. Then he says to the writers, "If I like what you write, I'll bind it as one of my books and give you most of the profits."
Some experienced writers say, "Silly books, clay tablets are so much better at knocking sense into people. Part ye from my paddock, fellow!"
But this man's books are very well made. And so long as you don't write a sequel to one of his own stories, or speak against his friend the mayor, you can make a good bit of money writing bound books. Most writers respond, "Books are clearly the future, and look how good they are for the readers!"
But there's this other crowd. They're not really writers, because they spend most of their time patting themselves on the back and talking about politics and how the future isn't clay tablets or bound books, because papyrus scales so much better. Some of them are stitching their scrolls together so they can be read kind of like books. These scroll-books are a bit awkward to page through, but you can read them in any library branch and even sign some of them out for a few weeks.
Now the interesting part of this story is that scrolls and, by extension, scroll-books can actually be used on clay tablets and between any sort of book cover, including our book-binding fellow's. The analogy is falling apart now, so I'll finish explaining my previous post more directly.
No cheap, flimsy Chrome OS netbook will have more necessary features or be more pleasant to use than the iPad. I am also sure that native, platform-specific applications will always be superior to web-apps. What I am saying is this: until we can develop native iPhone/iPod/iPad/iPony applications with our First Amendment rights intact, making "native Chrome OS applications" (i.e., web apps) is the only way to publish independent software for Apple's newest and best devices. | commoncrawl |

Shoulder Injuries and Disorders
Your shoulder joint is composed of three bones: the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone). Your shoulders are the most movable joints in your body. They can also be unstable because the ball of the upper arm is larger than the shoulder socket that holds it. To remain in a stable or normal position, the shoulder must be anchored by muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Because your shoulder can be unstable, it can be easily injured. Common problems include
- Sprains and strains
- Dislocations
- Separations
- Tendinitis
- Bursitis
- Torn rotator cuffs
- Frozen shoulder
- Fractures
- Arthritis
Health care providers diagnose shoulder problems by using your medical history, a physical exam, and imaging tests.
Often, the first treatment for shoulder problems is RICE. This stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. Other treatments include exercise and medicines to reduce pain and swelling. If those don't work, you may need surgery.

Wounds and Injuries
Also called: Traumatic injuries
An injury is damage to your body. It is a general term that refers to harm caused by accidents, falls, hits, weapons, and more. In the U.S., millions of people injure themselves every year. These injuries range from minor to life-threatening. Injuries can happen at work or play, indoors or outdoors, driving a car, or walking across the street.
Wounds are injuries that break the skin or other body tissues. They include cuts, scrapes, scratches, and punctured skin. They often happen because of an accident, but surgery, sutures, and stitches also cause wounds. Minor wounds usually aren't serious, but it is important to clean them. Serious and infected wounds may require first aid followed by a visit to your doctor. You should also seek attention if the wound is deep, you cannot close it yourself, you cannot stop the bleeding or get the dirt out, or it does not heal.

[EDITOR'S NOTE: This case is unpublished as indicated by the issuing court.] BY THE DIVISION A total effective sentence of twenty-one (21) years suspended after sixteen (16) was imposed on the petitioner after a jury trial. He was convicted of assault in the third degree on a victim 60 or older (Connecticut General Statutes Section 53a-61a(a), robbery in the second degree (Connecticut General Statutes Section 53a-135 (a)(1)) and robbery in the first degree (Connecticut General Statutes Section 53a-134 (a)(3)). His sentence was one year on the first count, ten (10) years suspended after five on the second count and ten (10) years on the third, all consecutive to one another. Waterford policy responded to a call that an elderly man had been assaulted and robbed in the Stop Shop parking lot. The victim, age 73, had come out of the store with groceries and while he was unlocking his car, a co-defendant held him while the petitioner punched him several times in the face, knocking off his glasses and causing lacerations to the victim's face. His groceries were taken by the assailants together with his wallet which contained approximately $60.00 and personal papers. The next day, the Waterford police were summoned to the Crystal Mall in response to an injured male of 63. The victim reported he was sitting in the front passenger seat of a car when the petitioner and two co-defendants opened the passenger side door and a co-defendant smashed a glass plate into the victim's face. He was then grabbed by the assailants and pulled from the car, punched and thrown to the ground where they continued to beat him, even after he surrendered his wallet with $12.00 and some personal papers in it. The victim had to be hospitalized where he was treated for five broken ribs, a cut to his left eye, facial cuts and bruises and a large bruise on his back in the area of his kidneys. When CT Page 3590 questioned about the incident the petitioner said his co-defendant hit the victim with the glass plate and pulled him from the car where the victim gave the petitioner his wallet. At the time of the sentencing the victim in the second attack said he had been receiving physical therapy for over a month. He also said he did not have any insurance although his automobile carrier had been paying his medical bills to date. The petitioner was 19 when sentenced and was on intensive probation out of Florida for juvenile offenses when arrested in Connecticut. Pointing out that the petitioner confessed to his participation in these offenses, his attorney claims the sentence was excessive, given his prior minimal juvenile record. He rejected a plea bargain because he was unable to accept the prospect of a long prison sentence. Petitioner's attorney describes him as a "fine young man" who is anxious to return to his native state of Florida. The assistant state's attorney pointed out the fact that in each case, the victims were elderly and that they sustained serious injuries. The sentence, he said, was appropriate in view of the need to protect society. The petitioner addressed the division and said he felt the sentence was too harsh for his first offense as an adult. He said he felt he had done enough time and has learned his lesson. In applying Practice Book Section 942 to the facts in the instant case, we must consider the nature of these offenses. The petitioner engaged in an unprovoked violent attack on two vulnerable individuals. The victims were brutally attacked and assaulted out of the clear blue, and even though no resistance was offered, the attacks continued even after the victim's wallets had been surrendered. As stated by one of the victims, "It was a cowardly attack." The protection of society is a valid consideration in the imposition of any sentence. Offenses against the person, particularly against those least able to resist, are reprehensible and the segregation of the petitioner from the rest of society for a substantial period of time is justified. We conclude that the sentence imposed was proportionate and appropriate and that modification is not warranted. The sentence is affirmed. CT Page 3591 STANLEY, J. PURTILL, J. NORKO, J. | freelaw |
You May Find It Trans...cendental
Midnight this Friday (or Saturday) see Israel Luna's Ticked-Off Trannies with Knives at the Inwood Theatre, 5458 West Lovers Lane. Shot in Dallas, the "transploitation" film is about a group of transgender entertainers who are brutally attacked and decide to get revenge. It's Kill Bill with bigger tits and better footwear. An Official Selection at the Austin Gay & Lesbian International Film Festival, Ticked-Off Trannies with Knives isn't getting the same love from GLAAD. And not just because the movie has characters named Emma Grashun, Rachel Slurr and Boner. The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation wanted Luna's film to be removed from Tribeca Film Festival because: "The film, its title and its marketing misrepresent the lives of transgender women and use grotesque, exploitative depictions of violence against transgender women." Not sure it's the best idea to talk smack to a guy who made a movie about knifing dudes, but the controversy is understandable. Here's hoping the plot is, too!

Containing star charts, a guide to the constellations, and details about seasons and the movement of the objects we see in the sky, this classic book makes H. A. Rey's passion for astronomy evident on every page.
Second edition updates concentrate on the planetary and solar system information in the latter part of the book. Facts and figures for each planet have been revised, and new scientific information has been added, such as Pluto's reclassification as a dwarf planet.

The Reys were born in Hamburg, Germany. Hans Augusto Rey (1898-1977) met his wife-to-be, Margret (1906-1996), at a party in her father's home in Germany; when he first caught a glimpse of her, she was sliding down the banister. In their twenties and thirties they lived in Paris and in Rio de Janeiro, where Hans sold bathtubs in villages along the Amazon River. Eventually Cambridge, Massachusetts, became the Reys' home and community. Throughout their lives the Reys created many lively books together, including SPOTTY, PRETZEL, and lift-the-flap books such as HOW DO YOU GET THERE? The manuscript of the first Curious George books was one of the few items the Reys carried with them on their bicycles when they escaped from Paris in 1940. Eventually, they made their way to the United States, and CURIOUS GEORGE was published in 1941. Their incorrigible little monkey has become an American icon, selling millions of books and capturing the hearts of readers everywhere. CURIOUS GEORGE has been published in many languages, including French, German, Japanese, Afrikaans, and Norwegian. Additional Curious George books followed, as well as such other favorites as CECILY G. AND THE NINE MONKEYS and FIND THE CONSTELLATIONS. Visit www.curiousgeorge.com.From School Library Journal:
Grade 4–6—This much-needed update of Rey's classic work (Houghton, 1976) features a cleaner typeface but retains the layout and most of the graphics of the previous edition. Some images, such as the picture of a spaceship, are dated but maintain, along with the small elves who guide readers through the book, all of the original charm. The primary update, featured on the cover, involves the change in Pluto's status; a great touch is the inclusion of definitions for "planet" and "dwarf planet" to help readers understand exactly why there are now only eight planets in our solar system. Statistical data, particularly for sizes and distances between the Sun and the planets, are updated; the planet finder now covers the years 2007 through 2016; and there is a new list of books for further reading. With its enduring appeal, current information, and exceptional sky charts to help find constellations, stars, and planets, this revision should be an essential purchase for all libraries.—Jeffrey A. French, formerly at Willoughby-Eastlake Public Library, Willowick, OH

Although adherence declined over the 90-day study, patients who used the app saw a reduction in headache days per month.
Patients with severe migraine who used a relaxation-based mobile health (mHealth) app twice a week had four fewer headache days per month, according to the findings of a study published in the journal Nature Digital Medicine.
Participants used the mHealth app, RELAXaHEAD, to learn and practice progressive muscle relaxation techniques (PMR). Patients who used it less than twice a week had a reduction of two headache days per month. Those who participated more than twice a week had a greater reduction in headache days following the first month.
Researchers found that patients engaged with the app for an average of 22 days. Patients used the app for an average of 11 minutes per day. But as the study period went on, adherence to the app declined.
"There seems to be a dose-response relationship that the more you engage, the greater benefit you see," Mia Minen, M.D., MPH, senior study investigator and chief of headache research at NYU Langone Health, told Inside Digital Health™.
Minen said patients with anxiety were more likely to use the app, while those with depression were less likely.
The researchers had three main purposes:
What separates RELAXaHEAD from other technologies for migraine? Headache specialists and patients who suffer migraine developed the app.
The research team enrolled 51 patients — a majority (94%) were women — from NYU Langone Health. More than 60% of participants had severe migraine disability at baseline. On average, participants had 13 headache days per month, ranging between four4 and 31. Nearly 40% of the participants also reported having anxiety, while 30% had depression.
The research team asked participants to use the mHealth app for 90 days and to keep a daily record of the frequency and severity of their headaches. The app logged how long and often patients listened to the PMR audio files.
While all of the participants tracked their headaches in the first week, usage declined to 32 participants in week six and 25 in week 12. In the first week, 43 participants used PMR techniques, while 26 used it in the second week and 15 used it in week 12.
Although adherence to the program declined throughout the study, Minen said the goal is not for patients to use the app for PMR long term. Rather, researchers hope they learn the technique and implement it when they please.
"I think apps and mHealth tools in general, if designed correctly, can help provide evidence-based therapies in a more scalable and accessible form," she said.
Study authors cited limitations to the research, including that it was a single-arm feasibility study not powered to examine the efficacy of the app. The researchers could not ensure that participants fully engaged with the app and did not control for medication changes during the study period.
Still, Minen said that while this might not be the perfect treatment for every patient, it can be widely applicable and cost-effective.
According to the World Health Organization, more than 36 million patients in the U.S. suffer from migraine. Patients are prescribed medications and behavioral therapy to decrease the effects, but many do not pursue therapy because of the inconvenience and expense.
Rethinking treatment for migraine is necessary because current practices don't work for all lifestyles, Minen said.

70-Year-Old Virgin Is Now Ready To Rock
Good for her! Pam Shaw is a septuagenarian cabaret singer from England who, despite performing since the '60s under the name The Sexational Pam, has never quite found the time to hook up with a decent bloke. Now she's finally ready to move beyond snogging. Better late than never!
"I may be 70 years old, but I'm very young at heart."
"People can't believe it when I tell them my age. I think I look great — maybe because I've never been married or had kids."
"I'm loads of fun and bundles of energy. I got to salsa and Zumba classes every week and have loads of friends. I like to think I'd be a real catch."
"I was never short of offers in my heyday — men saw the outfits I wore on stage and thought I would be easy."
"But I've never really been intimate with a man — just a bit of kissing. I had a sexy stage name and dressed sexy, but that was all for my career."
"There has never really been any time for me to get a man — I worked so much that sometimes I'd only have one hour's sleep each night."
"But now I feel I am ready to give marriage a go — and maybe go to bed with a man. You are never too old for anything — just look at Joan Collins."
"Just like now, in those day women were throwing themselves at stars. But I've always had a very strong work ethic and finding romance always came below getting ahead in my career."
"I wouldn't have entertained the idea of sex outside of marriage, and marriage meant giving up on my dreams."
"But now's the time — I'm ready to take the plunge for the right bloke. My standards are still very high. I'm hoping to bag a millionaire with tall, dark and handsome good looks."

Saturday, May 6, 2023/Songwriting & Poetry Workshop by musicians Stan Sullivan, Bruce Pratt and Jim Mercik. 4:00 p.m., preceding their musical showcase. (see next item). Admission is $15. Seminar topics: 1) Finding Inspiration—so many sources 2) Is It A Poem or Is It A Song? 3) The Work: Taking your work from the inspiration stage through finding the words, the forms and the revisions to create a finished work worthy of the printed page or the concert stage. 4) A really good song deserves good music.

Saturday, May 6, 2023/Singer-Songwriters Stan Sullivan, Bruce Pratt, and Jim Mercik. Show starts at 8:00 p.m. Admission is $20. Connecticut native Stan Sullivan earned his BA in Modern Languages from CCSU in 1970. He is a self-described "singer-songwriter-guitar instrumentalist-composer-and-folk-and-blues performer." He modestly explains that although he wrote his first song at the age of 17, it was not until many years later that the quality of his songwriting and performing came together. Sullivan has played solo in Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts at colleges, libraries, festivals, clubs, coffeehouses, special events and more. He has opened and done sets with more than a hundred internationally touring artists, including Muriel Anderson, Janis Ian, Dave Van Ronk, John Hartford, and Happy Traum. He has released two lyrical albums, The Right Road, and Do You Like the Rain? featuring 24 original songs and instrumentals and two compilations of recording appearances on Folk Next Door and Folk Next Door V-Cicada, both recorded for WWUH 91.3 FM Radio. Bruce Pratt's poems are smart and accomplished. He keeps a close watch on the natural world, and an even closer one on human nature. "Boreal" is a collection that extends pleasure to insight on every page. A memorable outpouring of passion and paradox, Pratt's pitch-perfect poems entwine uncertainties into a retrospective which rather than striking back at experience, holds it gracefully, gratefully, close at hand. He is the winner of the 2007 Ellipsis Prize in poetry, a finalist for the Erskine J. Poetry award from Smartish Pace, and his poems have appeared in Only Connect, an anthology from Cinnamon Press, (Wales) Smartish Pace, the 2007 Goose River Anthology, Revival (Ireland), Puckerbrush Review, The Poet's Touchstone, Rock and Sling, and Red Rock Review. Jim Mercik is a Connecticut multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and arranger. He plays guitar, banjo, clarinet and also sings. He has appeared in concert with a multitude of artists including Eric Andersen, Eric Von Schmidt, bluesman Paul Geremia, and Grammy Award winners Bonnie Raitt and Ramblin' Jack Elliot. He was a founding member of the popular Connecticut bands The Roadbirds and The Congo Square Ramblers, and is currently performing as a member of The Smokin' Mirrors Jazz Quartet. For many years Jim hosted Blue Monday, a three-hour radio program of American Blues, Jazz, and R&B music, which continues to air on WWUH-FM.
Friday, May 12, 2023/Performance Artist Laurel Knight. Show starts at 7:00 p.m. Admission is $15. Laurel Knight is an artist from Connecticut who uses taped musical and vocal recordings to make a "cacophony" effect soundscape to accompany her unique performance art that involves projecting video of live assemblage building, for an intimate and stimulating experience. Reiki and elements of ASMR are incorporated into the performance. The assemblage aspect of the act is a magical unveiling of small sacred spaces that are recorded and projected onto the wall so that viewers can get an up close vantage point. She has been making videos of this type that can be found on YouTube. The show will also feature the Buttonwood Tree's May art exhibit of Laurel's artwork.
Friday, May 19, 2023/Folk-Bluegrass Artist Kate Prascher and Her Band. Show starts at 8:00 p.m. Admission is $15. Kate Prascher is a singer and multi-instrumentalist best known for her evocative songwriting. She was thrilled to be named an IBMA Songwriting Showcase finalist in 2021. Inspired by her Tennessee roots and influenced by master song crafters like Hazel Dickens and Gillian Welch, Kate is a versatile writer and engaging performer. Her songs are outspoken and sometimes tender, by turns playful and heart-piercing. Kate's past work includes her 2019 solo EP Bright Like This, 2016's Almanac recorded with The Tumble and a self-titled EP released by The Wildwood Sisters. She has performed with numerous artists as a singer, mandolinist and duet partner.
Thursday, May 25, 2023/Poetry Reading of the Works of Philip Larkin by Bruce Coffin and Chris Sweeney. Reading starts at 8:00 p.m. Admission is $15. Join us for a poetry reading in celebration of the life and work of Philip Larkin, one of England's greatest and best-loved poets of the 20th century. Bruce Coffin has taught English in a number of independent schools in England and America, including Westover School in Middlebury, Connecticut. He is the author of two memoirs, The Long Light of Those Days and Among Familiar Shadows, and he divides his time between Hamden, Connecticut and Woodstock, Vermont. In a 35 year long career at Westover School, Christopher Sweeney taught English, History, and Latin, coordinated the school's community service program, and held a variety of administrative positions.

When it comes to wiring a ceiling fan without light, having a wiring diagram is essential for success. Installing a ceiling fan without light can be tricky and intimidating, but it can be done with the right guidance and information. With a wiring diagram, you can easily see how the wiring should be laid out and connected, taking the guesswork out of installation and ensuring the job is done safely and correctly the first time.
The wiring diagram for a ceiling fan without light is quite simple. It starts with a single power source, which is connected to each of the fan's wires. The fan's wires are then connected to the ceiling junction box. This is where the fan is mounted and the power is supplied. From the junction box, the fan is then wired to a switch, which can be found in the wall near the fan. This switch is used to turn the fan on and off.
When wiring a ceiling fan without light, it is important to double-check all connections between the fan and the junction box. This is to ensure that no shorts occur and that the fan is running properly. Once the wiring is complete, the fan should be tested by turning it on and off to make sure that it is working correctly. If everything looks good, the fan is ready to be installed and enjoyed.
Installing a ceiling fan without light doesn't have to be a difficult task. With the help of a wiring diagram and some basic electrical knowledge, anyone can successfully install a ceiling fan without light. So, if you're looking to install a ceiling fan without light, don't be intimidated; just follow the wiring diagram and you'll be enjoying your new fan in no time!

Intuitive Eating: What Is It, and How Can Full Spectrum CBD Oil Help?
A spoon here, a fork there. Oops, was that your plate? For many, the subject of nutrition often means a loss of control. Let's be honest: what did you eat today? And how much of that was uncontrolled? Take a moment and have a think before you read the next paragraph.
If you're struggling with binge eating and cravings, then 'intuitive eating' could be just the thing for you. While the term was coined in the '90s, it's a philosophy that has its roots in the '70s and is about learning to listen to your own body and regulate meals more precisely. And, guess what? Cannabidiol, or CBD for short, can help you with this.
5 Important Principles of Intuitive Eating
Before we dive into the benefits of full spectrum CBD oil for weight control and dieting, let's look further into intuitive eating.
- Diversity: this applies not only to everyday life, but also to nutrition! Everything you eat should be treated the same –because there is no such thing as good or bad food!
- Pay attention to your feelings of hunger and fullness. Eat something when you're really hungry. Stop the moment you feel full. It sounds simple, but this practise helps better attune you to your body and prevent overeating.
- Eating when you feel peckish is a 'no'! Before eating, always ask yourself: do I really need this? Am I just eating for the sake of it? Am I simply bored?
- What foods are good for you? Only your body has the answer. Listen to it! After eating, pay attention to how you feel. Did the last thing you ate go down well? Did it give you more energy, or did it make you sluggish?
- Enjoyment is in the foreground when eating. Eat with no regrets or a guilty conscience. Take enough time every time, even on stressful days –and enjoy! You leave remorse and feelings of guilt behind you with intuitive eating.
What Does Intuitive Eating Bring?
What do I have for breakfast tomorrow? Is a pizza okay for my lunch break?
For many in Australia, the topic of nutrition is a painful focal point of everyday life. If you fall into this category, you're not alone. Census data shows that 2 in 3 Australians aged 18 and over are overweight or obese. But it doesn't have to be this way, and improving your weight doesn't have to be a painstaking process counting calories!
Rather than seeing eating as a negative that must be monitored and controlled, intuitive eating is all about moving the subject of nutrition out of the spotlight. It's about listening to your body more closely, rather than controlling it. It's about being in touch with yourself.
Just think about the last time you binged on something. How did your stomach feel afterwards? Bloated? Crampy? Was it pleasant? Your body is talking to you here, you just need to listen.
Intuitive eating is about being relaxed about what and how you're eating by being more in tune with your body. As you progress on this path and see the results, that newfound satisfaction will eventually affect your mental health as well.
Effects of Intuitive Eating
An intuitive diet can have a positive effect on your body and your psyche. Many report the following benefits:
- Less binge eating and reduced feelings of hunger
- More energy for everyday life

Intuitive Eating and Full Spectrum CBD Oil
Whether intuitive eating appeals to you, you're on another kind of diet, or you simply want to lose some weight and curb food cravings, CBD oil can help.
Research has shown that CBD oil helps control body weight in a number of ways:
- Reduces appetite
- Turns bad fat into good fat
- Reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes
- Reduces the risk of high blood pressure
- Reduces the risk of cholesterol
Yep, and there are peer-reviewed studies that back up each of those claims!
Closing Thoughts
The research shows that CBD oil can indeed help with dieting, that's a fact. In our opinion, though, intuitive eating is a philosophy we really like, too. Mother nature tends to know best and getting more attuned to our bodies is never a bad thing.
Make sure whomever you buy your CBD oil online from shows that their products have been tested by independent labs and have certificates of analysis, like ours do here. That way, you know exactly what you're getting in terms of potency, purity, and quality. As always, talk to your health professional before starting any new supplements, too.
Have you tried intuitive eating? What about using CBD oil to help with dieting? We'd love to hear from you! Drop us a line in the comments, or feel free to ask questions by emailing us here. We love helping people on their wellness journeys. | commoncrawl |

In the midst of this crazy summer, Charlie and I escaped to PEI to celebrate a really special day with his grandparents (Jack and Verna). It was their 60th wedding anniversary. Woah, right? It was so special for me to be there and to be a part of such an intimate celebration with his family and I want to share some of the most special details with you lovebirds!
There were about 50 of us gathered in PEI to celebrate Jack and Verna. We had a potluck dinner, a family photo-sesh, a video dedicated to the couple from all their grandchildren and a private house concert by Ian Sherwood (if you haven't heard of him, you're about to love him).
The dinner was filling, the photos were a plenty but the tears really started when we all gathered in the house for a special video and concert. It started with a brief introduction and one powerful question – "who wouldn't be here without Jack and Verna?" Every single hand was raised in a room with over 50 people. How amazing is that?
Ahead of time, each grandchild had recorded themselves retelling their favorite memory with their grandparents and yelling "happy anniversary!" – you could see how much it meant to Jack and Verna. I know I will never be able to explain to you how sincerely adorable this was, but it was beyond words. I cried all my make up off within 3 short minutes.
Shortly after this, the private concert with Ian Sherwood began. He was a wonderful entertainer, beautiful singer and overall a really nice guy. But the real secret was that Jack and Verna's children (Charlie's parents, aunts and uncles) had Ian write a personalized song for them filled with intimate details about their 60 years together. It was a surprise to nearly everyone in the room. It was incredibly moving, inspiring, happy, and tear inducing.
I know you may not know this amazing couple personally, but here is the song that represents their life together. I don't think I will ever be able to listen to it without crying and smiling ear to ear. Jack walked around afterwards and all he could say is "now, that's a love song!"
Oh, I almost forgot to mention – Verna wore her wedding dress from 1954. Just the icing on the cake for a seriously perfect evening.
This celebration was a really pleasant reminder for me, and I hope to pass it on to you. I meet so many couples getting caught up in wedding planning that you forget what happens beyond the wedding day – one kick ass marriage. Remember that when everything is said and done you have a partner for life… someone to start your family with and rely on each day. It's also a reminder for anyone working in the wedding industry that is simply surviving the wedding season… remember how powerful your work is. You are helping people every day marry the person they will celebrate many years with, start a family and love for the rest of their lives… just like Jack & Verna.
I feel pretty lucky… and pretty in love. | commoncrawl |

In 2007 the US economy began to enter what has become to be known as "The Mortgage Crisis." This crisis infected the financial system both in the United States and globally. A gluttony of low rates, ever increasing home values and "easy to obtain" mortgage loans finally punctured a hole in the market and the financial bubble burst. For several years, housing took the main stage among news headlines as lenders closed their doors and homeowners lost equity and went into foreclosure.
In an effort to stabilize the lending environment, an avalanche of laws hit the streets defining everything from who could obtain a mortgage, to the types of mortgage loan offered and how the process of obtaining a loan would unfold. "Qualifying for a mortgage today is much different than it was just a few short years ago," said Eddie Cooke, The Mortgage Chef and a licensed loan officer. "Today the consumer must be able to fully document all of the information listed on their loan application to the satisfaction of their lender."
Mortgage loans are bought and sold on the secondary market. For example, when a lender issues a conventional mortgage loan, they generally sell that mortgage to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. If the buyer of the mortgage discovers any deficiencies in documentation, they can ask the lender to re-purchase the loan back. Because lenders generally borrow money to lend to consumers, most can not afford to re-purchase large amounts of loans and keep them in house.
"What the consumer often feels is an endless barrage of questions and request from their lender for documentation during the loan process," said Cooke. "What I decided to do is be pro-active and start at the time of application with a checklist of items the lender will require. In other words, I make sure I get all of the required information up front, so the consumer can be more confident of the process."
Cooke defines this model as "The Perfect Loan Recipe." "Because every situation is different, I want to make sure clients fully understand the process and options available to them at the start," Cooke stated. As legislation continues to pour out, re-defining the mortgage process, clients looking to obtain a mortgage can find themselves buried in a sea of the unknown.
He went on to say that, "On average, a person may only go through the mortgage process 3-5 times in their lifetime. I want that experience to be great and so I stay studied up on regulations, lending guidelines and mortgage products so my clients can have confidence in the process." To learn more about The Mortgage Chef's Perfect Recipe for Lending, you can contact Eddie Cooke at (615) 300-6262 or visit: http://www.TheMortgageChef.com.

How to Write a Quality Essay in the Next Day
Are you looking for ways to have your essay next day ready? You can't do it overnight regardless of how many tips you've read online or in books. It takes a bit of time to create an effective argument and create a compelling essay. This guide will show you how to write an essay in just three easy steps.
The first step is to choose a topic for your essay. If you're like most students you may not be able to pick one, so you'll have to settle for something. If you aren't sure what topic to choose take a look at how you got to where you are now (i.e.you are at. This will give you an idea on what you should talk about in your composition the following day.
After you've chosen a topic, you can decide on the best way to write your essay. Maybe you have some thoughts about how you came to where you are now but don't know what you should do next. In this case you may need to begin with a research paper. You can simply search on the internet for research papers and you will find plenty that will help you in deciding what to write and how you should finish the paper. I'm going to give you some pointers on how to compose your research paper correctly in the following article.
Once you have completed your research paper It is possible to draw up an outline of your essay. This will help you make your essay easier to write. It is also important to think about your introduction, your conclusion, and perhaps even your point of view. Once you have your outline, you will be able to start writing your essay the next day.
Let's get to writing. Your introduction is the very first step you must take. Your introduction should give some background information, then you should explain the reason you're writing it, and why you believe it's important, as well as what you intend to accomplish. The introduction is usually the most important section of the essay, so you'll need to spend an extra few minutes on it.
An essay tutorial will show that there are many kinds of essays you can use to write your essay. The reason you are writing it will determine the type of essay that you write. If you just want to get your personal thoughts down on paper so you can give them to a friend or even an entire class writing a personal essay is the best option. A public opinion essay is a good choice if you're hoping to be awarded an award at school or even submit it to journals.
Now, let's look at the body of your essay. This is the main subject of your entire semester. You'll need to organize your arguments in a systematic manner so that you can follow a good structure. You must consider how your arguments fit together and come up with an original method to address any question or concern your reader might have. Also, you should consider how you can support your points with references and examples. To clarify any points you missed in your main argument, you may include footnotes.
Once you have finished writing your essay, it is important that you read it through a few times before you turn it in. Check if there is something you did not write about or spot any errors that require correction. Make sure to check all references carefully and make sure you check and double-check your work prior to you turn it in for a grade. Small errors can cause your composition to be out of affordable papers whack and make it nearly impossible to complete when the deadline arrives. | commoncrawl |
Why Use
An ideal way to enrich and condition soils that can be used all around the garden for planting and feeding established plants
- Rich in organic matter
- Breaks down slowly into the soil releasing their nutrients
- 100% natural
- Releases nutrients slowly
- Feeds for 3 months
What to Expect
Plants will flourish for longer encouraging healthy growth. The chicken manure pellets will break down slowly releasing nutrients into the soil. For fast growing crops an additional feed may be required.
When to Use
Apply in the autumn when preparing winter beds or early in spring as a base fertiliser when preparing your beds for planting. Apply an additional feed 3-4 weeks after planting to ensure a top quality and healthy yield.
How to Use
All organic fertilisers depend on contact with moisture and soil to break down naturally; releasing their nutrients and enhancing soil fertility.
Therefore, for best results, the pellets should be worked into the soil (a hoe is usually ideal). During dry weather, water before sowing seeds and after planting.
Apply several days before sowing seeds, or planting out small/sensitive plants
Application Rates
Handfuls per sq.m | Grams per sq.m | Ounces per sq.yard | |
Soil Improvement | |||
Before planting | 2-6 | 100-300 | 3-9 |
Before sowing | 1-3 | 50-150 | 1.5-4.5 |
Feeding | |||
Fruit & vegetables, flowers, beds & borders, roses, trees & shrubs | 2-6 | 100-300 | 3-9 |
Composting (per layer of compost heap) | 1 | 50 | 1.5 |
*Use higher rates for sandy/starved soils and strong/vigorous plants. Use lower rates for rich/heavy soils and small/sensitive plants. | commoncrawl |

A guest blog by Sarah Smith, Creator and Founder of Medi-Redi, sharing her journey as a mother worried about making a mistake with medicine times or giving her children the wrong dose, and what she did about it.
Like many first-time mums, I found the initial stages of motherhood a huge shock. Nobody could have prepared me for the relentless exhaustion and the overwhelming sense of responsibility.
By the time my daughter was 3-months old I was feeling more confident, we had a routine and I was getting more sleep. Unfortunately this is also when my daughter had her first bout of tonsillitis. What I didn't realise at the time was that she was going to suffer regularly with this for years to come.
The drill was always the same for her: 2 to 4 days and nights with high temperature, pain, not wanting to eat or drink and generally feeling pretty miserable.
As expected with children it is normal to get the occasional bug and infection and after my son was born they would often pass these between themselves.
I always worried that I would make a mistake with the medicine times or give them the wrong dose. I found it particularly difficult trying to calculate how much time I'd left since the last dose, especially in the middle of the night when I was half asleep. I looked to see if there was anything I could buy to help, but there was nothing available, which I thought was odd. After all, children do get ill and need medicine occasionally. This scenario wasn't unique to me.
When my youngest started school I decided to do some research. I had zero experience, but having been a full-time mum for 8 years I was excited to try something different.
I contacted the local hospital and met the clinical engineering team who put me in touch with the R&D team. I was amazed at how helpful and encouraging everyone was. I spoke with my doctor, nurses, local health visitors and parents, and carried out surveys to gather as much information as possible.
I found a design company who did the initial design for me. I then contacted universities to see if anyone could help me with making a prototype. I was lucky to find a professor who kindly printed my first prototype free of charge.
The turning point was finding there was support available through my local Growth Hub. A scheme which provides people who have a business idea with guidance and support. The help I received was invaluable and enabled me to secure funding.
Last year, I received investment and this year I manufactured my first production run of Medi-Redi medicine timers and delivered my first order to a pharmacy chain.
The biggest lesson I learned is to not be afraid to ask for help. I have been amazed at how kind, generous and helpful people have been.
My advice to anyone who has an idea or goal is to visualise achieving it and keep moving towards it. Never stop moving, it doesn't matter if you occasionally go slowly or even if you go in the wrong direction, just keep moving and visualising your goal.
Secondly, you will make mistakes, but don't waste time regretting them because you will learn from all of them – it's called experience.
My vision was to create something that would help give parents peace of mind and help ensure children receive the right medicine at the right time. The years of research enabled me to add additional features and functions to make it even more useful. If you would like to know more please visit www.medi-redi.com
Finally in case you're wondering – my daughter did eventually have a tonsillectomy and hasn't suffered since! | commoncrawl |

Gauging Your Aging Parent's Safe Driving Abilities After The Holiday Weekend Reunion
Sarah Pearcy, CSA®, CDP® of AccordantCare Senior Advising in Rochester, Michigan, offers the following tips to help gauge your loved-one's driving abilities:
Has your parent fallen in the past year?
Recent research has established a correlation between falls and older driver crash involvement. According to an article published by the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, older drivers who fell two or more times in the prior year were 1.5 times as likely to be involved in an accident, and twice as likely to be involved in an at-fault accident. The study's bottom line; a history of frequent falling can serve as a valid indicator in identifying older drivers that are at a higher risk for future traffic accidents.
Is your parent still physically active?
A study by the Hartford Center for Mature Market Excellence and the M.I.T. Age Lab looked at the drivers who exercised for 15-20 minutes daily. The study participants reported greater ease in turning their heads to look in blind spots when changing lanes or backing up, compared with a similar group that did not exercise. The exercise group could also rotate their bodies easily to scan the road when making right hand turns compared with non-exercisers.
How is your parent's memory holding up?
When we discuss age related diminished driving skills in older adults, we tend to focus on the physical attributes of safe driving (vision, reflexes, strength, flexibility, hearing, etc.), and may overlook the crucial role memory plays in keeping older drivers safe.
Older drivers that get lost may become confused and distracted by their unnerving circumstances. As they find themselves unaware of their surroundings, they are likely to develop a strong case of tunnel vision. The older driver may morph into a state of confusion, frustration and fear. They lose their ability to focus on the task at hand (the physical act of driving) and instead, concentrate on getting themselves back to familiar surroundings. The older driver's ability to focus on driving has been overwhelmed by their desire to re-orient themselves. In many cases, the individual may become scared and often times, tragedy becomes imminent.
If you are concerned about your aging parent's driving skills, contact AccordantCare Senior Advising at 248-929-5700 or visit their website at www.accordantcaresenioradvising.com.

The Pharisees had classified over 600 laws, and often tired to distinguish the more important from the less important, so when talking to Jesus, they asked this question.<br /><br />I will be honest with you this verse has really been in my mind lately, these past 6 months or so, I have been in what I would call a holding zone, and my life has been in transformation in that time period as well. The other day I was sitting and wondering what God had in store for me, what would I gain out of this, and I believe I have been patient about waiting on his answer, well after some time I would say is when I got into a the holding zone, kind of a I wake up, I do my normal thing, and go forward. As time went by I began to wonder how long will I be in this zone, and I will admit at first I kind of shrugged it off, and said well I will leave it in God's hands...Sounds good doesn't it, sounds like a pretty good plan if you ask me...I read a sign one day that said Make your plans in pencil and give God the eraser, I thought that was pretty good, well after some more time I will admit I started to get a little impatient with God, hey I'am only human, and not this best idea I know. Well as I was reading one day, I came across this verse, and at first I read it and moved on, I mean we all know the verse, we know the laws we are to follow, and I continued to read on, but for some reason I was drawn back to this verse, and that is where I really started to think about it, and apply it to my life more then I had been.<br />Well that is when the door started to open...I realized this holding zone, and this transformation is taking place, and the reason Im not getting an answer is I haven't been living this verse as I should be living it, you may be asking what do you mean? don't you read the bible, yes, you go to church, yes, you serve others, yes, however as I broke down this verse Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. Lets take Love, well before you can start you need to Love, how do you show someone Love, by caring for them, by encouraging them, by doing the little things, a long with the big things, and I Love God, but what have I been doing to really show that love, sure I have done the good works, but it wasn't enough, then I went to the all your heart, when I'am focused on God I love him with all my heart, the problem I'm not always 100 percent focused on him, I'm like Peter in the boat, I see him clearly, but then something happens and I worry about that, and lose focus, so my heart is not full of Love as it should be, soul one definiton stated it means your whole self, again this can go back to a focus issue, when we are not focused on God then how can we give our whole soul's, and lastly mind, I think this is my biggest struggle, I think to much about the problem at hand, I say I'am going to give it to God, but do I really, not completly everytime no, and then it wears on you and wears on you, and fills you full of stress, and clogs your focus.<br />I realized in these past few months my focus hasn't been where it needed to be, yes I looked to God for answers, and I prayed, and I spent time with him, but was at times I wasn't doing it with full Love, with my full heart, with my full soul, or mind. I think I was hoping God would just jump right in and saved the day, God is a great, and powerful God, but sometimes you have to search, and sometimes that means self evaluation, it's easy to say that you obey this verse, but do you really? Ask yourself what things from this verse in my life do I need to improve, or me it's a little bit of everything, and I will admit have I gotten all the answers I have needed not all of them, but I can tell God is ready to show me something great, and I'am going to try and focus on him, and hope that he will show me in his due time. This morning I woke up and had one of the best quiet times I have had in a while, because I blocked everything out, and spent it with God, I was even a few minutes late to work because of it, but it was worth it.<br /><br />Again thanks for dropping by, I hope you found it entertaining, however I deserve no credit for this blog, I like to write every once in a while, but I can't take any credit for this blog, this is God working through me, I hope it finds you doing well, thanks again, and God Bless.Kyle's Cornerhttp://[email protected]:blogger.com,1999:blog-118042124057944096.post-88528032291550368632008-11-28T09:40:00.000-08:002008-11-28T10:00:48.730-08:00Kyle's Truck Stop ThanksgivingHello boys and girls, and welcome back to another fun filled blog from Kyle's Corner.<br />So I had an interesting thanksgiving to say the least, instead of having thanksgiving at home, my mom decided she didn't want my dad spending thanksgiving alone, even though we invited him to come here, and declined, I even offer to go get him, so instead of having thanksgiving at home, we go to weatherford to pick up my grandfather, and then head out to PETRO. Well for those who may not know PETRO is a truck stop, with a diner inside. Well it appears everyone in town was at the ole PETRO they even had a drivers only section, well they had a buffet bar and as I was looking over the buffet I saw they were serving a traditonal thanksgiving meal, however it didnt looks so good, and as we waited for some tables to come open, yes there was a wait at a truck stop diner, I saw a guy coming through the line with a mullet, and I knew for sure at any minute that Jeff Foxworthy or any of the blue collar comedy tour guys were going to pop up somewhere. After laughing to myself and shaking my head we finally get a seat, well the section they put us in was full of cowboys who looked like either they just came from a rodeo, or were about to go to one. Well I get the menu and decide the buffet was not for me, I think I heard the turkey still gobbling from the buffet line, I order what is called King of the road...its two chicken fried steaks with fries, well it may sound good, but it wasnt that great, well the service wasnt much better either, but everyone in town was there. Well we eat, and head back to my grandfathers house, and on my way, and Im telling you the truth, no one could make this up, a old car starts coming our way, and I can tell its either a charger or challenger, and then I see that it is orange, and then it passes us, and of course it was the General Lee from the Dukes of Hazzard show, it has the 01 on the side and everything, I wish I could have gotten a picture but it was gone in a hurry, I couldnt help but laugh, it just put the topping on the cake, to what I am now calling the Redneck Truck Stop Thanksgiving. Oh well at least the cowboys won. Next year Im staying home and eat a bowl of cereal or something, or find somewhere else to go. I hope your thanksgiving was a good one. If nothing else I got to spend it with family and Iam thankful for that, but be looking on CMT you may just see it on there with Tom Arnold.<br /><br />Kyle's Corner is a non Charity however if you would like to send money do so.Kyle's Cornerhttp://[email protected]:blogger.com,1999:blog-118042124057944096.post-37606225592419460272008-11-05T20:00:00.000-08:002008-11-05T20:23:30.497-08:00His pain our gainSo I see this shirt today that says His Pain Our Gain, a shirt about Jesus dying on the cross, no big deal I know we have seen it before. However lately I have been looking at this a little deeper about this, yes Jesus went to the cross for our sins, and paid a debt that could not be paid any other way, and without Jesus we wouldnt have a way to the father, however I started thinking about sin, and how we are forgiven if we believe, and if we ask for it with all our heart, and I started thinking why do we sin, everytime I sin its like the nails are being driven into his hands again, everytime I dont stand up for him and deny I know him he is being crucified again, everytime I see someone use his name in vain, or mock him and I say nothing Iam putting the crown of thorns on his head, everytime I choose the things of this world Iam the one stabbing him in the side, for some reason it really hit me the other day thinking about that shirt, I mean when someone lets us down we are hurt, sometimes angry, and sometimes it takes us time to forgive, how much pain does he feel when we sin, we arent worth the price he paid, thankfuly he is a merciful God, one that is loving, and forgiving to all that believe in his son, so the next time you are faced with a tough decision, or tough spot, choose to honor him, and glorify him, live as a beacon of light so that others will see him working in you, dont do it for yourself, do it for him I mean out of all the people he is the one I dont want to hurt.Kyle's Cornerhttp://[email protected] | commoncrawl |

- AMAZING PRINTER!!! Review by Andrew
- Ill keep this short and just say this printer is amazing, im 13 years old and i built this and its been running amazingly, it can run at faster speeds than the recommended ultimaker speed, and all prints turn out great.I highly recommend this printer to anyone who is new or experienced with 3d printing. (Posted on 9/5/2016)
- Great Budget Printer Review by Marshall
This kit is great. It took me about 8 hours to assemble, and it was quite easy as the instructions were great. After that, I made a very impressive 3dbenchy. The following prints were of similar quality (great).
Also, the support from Colin is wonderful. Always a reply within about 30 minutes.
In short, an amazing printer, an amazing price, and amazing support. (Posted on 6/25/2016)
- Great first kit for me Review by Brandon
After a lot of reading on /r/3Dprinting, and hearing great things about Colin's support, I decided on an 8" Pegasus for my first printer. I liked that it was a kit, and I would learn a lot in the process of assembling it.
After owning it for a month, and 100+ hours of printing, I'm glad I went with a MakerFarm. I've added a cooling fan for PLA, and a few other mods, and I'm getting results that exceeded my expectations.
One thing I'd change is the power connector to the RAMPS board. The connection was finicky and I eventually removed it, soldering the wires from the supply directly to the RAMPS board.
Support from Colin is great, and the printer was fun to build and produces great prints. (Posted on 4/3/2016)

Lyrics for 'Believe/Not' by Warmless
I got the farthest seat, but I think that it would be okay
You wouldn't look at me anyway
I spent the next two hours wondering
"Will this just be another day?"
Will you ever gonna let me in?
I just want to disappear
Do you remember
When the camera ran out of its film
We talked to each other and
You've got the letters wrong
And then we parted ways
"I'll see you another time"
Will you ever gonna let me in?
I just want to disappear
Don't you ever let me
Get me out of here?
Get me out of this place

Last year the duo said that sales would break the 500,000 milestone but significantly underestimated the market's growth, so "at the start of 2017, Angus and I are going to throw prudence to the winds, run our hands through our grey sea-captain hair, and bet it breaks the million mark", helped by higher oil prices, a flood of new, improved models on the market, ongoing falls in battery prices and improved charging infrastructure. The aforementioned need to improve air quality and the continued fallout from the Dieselgate scandal will play a part, too.

It is not a well-known fact that consumers can take advantage of energy deregulation and choose an alternative energy supplier, known as an Energy Service Company (ESCO). In addition to offering lower electricity and gas rates, an ESCO can provide other energy options, not otherwise available by your local traditional utility company, such as renewable green energy (solar, wind or hydropower) and fixed-rate plans. Energy deregulation allows residents and businesses to shop around for energy, compare electricity and gas rates, find the cheapest providers and easily switch electricity and gas suppliers online. Compare ESCOs and their rates, choose the cheapest electricity or gas provider, and you can reduce your energy expense, such as Con Edison electric or gas bill, if you live in New York City, or United Illuminating or Eversource bill if you live in Connecticut or Public Service Electric and Gas, Jersey Central Power and Light, Atlantic City Electric, Rockland Electric Company bill if you live in New Jersey. PowerSetter specializes in educating New York, New Jersey and Connecticut residents about comparing electricity and gas providers, and making switching energy suppliers an easy and painless process. In addition to offering tools to compare energy rates, PowerSetter only selects plans with no hidden monthly and/or enrollment fees and works with the most reliable and trusted alternative electric and gas companies.
Maryland is among 15 states where electricity customers may choose their providers. It's called deregulation, but it might be less confusing to call it energy choice. Customers may select their electricity supplier - providers compete on price, term length, percentage of renewable energy and more. Electricity will continue to be delivered by a utility.
This is one area where going green and saving money diverge. The cheapest renewable tariffs tend to cost more than the cheapest standard tariffs, so it really is a question of your personal politics. However, if you can afford to go renewable, then it's a help to the environment, and all the main comparison services allow you to compare renewable tariffs.
To skirt the late summer electricity rate hikes, a little bit of planning can really pay off. Try to avoid signing new long-term electricity contracts in late summer. While it may be impossible to escape signing a new electricity contract if you're moving during that time, just know that a short-term plan may make more sense until the rates go back down in the fall. That way you're not stuck paying a premium rate for an entire year or more.
If you own or operate a business it should come as no surprise that taking a few minutes to compare electricity rates in Stafford is time well spent. Choosing a cheaper electricity rate from one of the many Stafford energy providers could help you lower your expenses and improve on your bottom line. Simply request a quote, and SaveOnEnergy.com will present you with energy offers designed specifically for your business.

You may have noticed a lot of electric companies offering a ton of plans and services. But not all light companies in Texas are created equal. So which one is right for you? At Amigo Energy, we want you to trust that you're getting a custom energy plan at a good price—not just a quick fix that'll cost you more down the road. In fact, JD Power gave us four out of five stars for pricing, beating out a ton of other large retail electricity providers.4
Prepaid electricity plans are yet another option available to Texas customers. Prepaid plans let you avoid credit checks and deposits by pre-paying for your electricity. Prepaid electricity plans typically do not have a fixed duration and operate on a pay-as-you-go basis. Shopping for prepaid electricity can often yield relatively cheap electricity with no deposit. See Prepaid Electricity: Is It Right For Me? for more.
And just like with any plan, it's worth it to do the math to see how different scenarios will affect your bill. Take, for example, a home in Sweetwater that uses about 1,000 kWh of energy per month, and is interested in the Texas Essentials 12 plan. Zero percent renewable energy is the cheapest option — but by committing to a $5 monthly charge for its 100 percent "JustGreen" option, it's actually cheaper than the 60 percent hybrid renewable option.
Which ones the best? Like all things energy, it depends. Do you prefer predictability, or do you like the idea of potentially saving some cash by monitoring the market? Our (albeit conservative) recommendation: Fixed rate is probably best. Energy prices are on the rise — the U.S. Energy Information Administration predicts a 3 percent increase in residential electricity prices in 2018.
Dallas area residents now have the option for choosing their electric provider. However, with all of the different plans that are available, it can be difficult to make the right decision for your particular electricity needs. You may find yourself overwhelmed by the number of options presented to you by all the electric company advertisements or concerned about shady marketing gimmicks. | commoncrawl |
Lego can be very expensive. This can have several causes. The main reason for this is that Lego sets are no longer sold by Lego. The longer a Lego set is no longer sold, the more valuable the Lego set becomes. But sometimes Lego is also very cheap. For example, a Lego theme can be a flop. Like for example the Vidiyo theme.Sometimes Lego sets are only sold for 8 months like some BrickHeads sets. Some sets are only available for one year, such as the Chinese new year sets.
Sometimes you can only get some sets at certain events. Like Comic Con, or only with certain promotions. These are also called GWP (Gift With Purchase) Lego sets. If you would like to have these GWP sets in your collection, keep an eye on the official Lego website. New promotions come out every month. These Lego promotions can run out very quickly. Wanting additional visit Expensive lego price
It also depends on the Lego theme. As with StarWars, Harry Potter, Mine Craft, But also cheap sets can double that! Like the Lego Speed Champions. They can all be worth double within a year. It also has to do with whether special mini figures are present in a Lego set. Sometimes a certain minifigure is worth $50 or more. This often occurs with minifigures that only appear in one Lego set. And sometimes there are several rare mini figures present in a Lego set. But sometimes minifugres are also added to, for example, an Xbox or Playstation game. | commoncrawl |

What systems are used in e-Learning?
Dec 8, 2009 E-Learning/CALL 4325 Views
An e-learning system typically consists of three main elements:
1. A key element in any e-learning structure is a Learning Management System (LMS) or a Learning Content Management System (LCMS), a software program that stores and delivers the course content, and tracks student access and progress. A good example of an up-to-date system is the eLeaP LMS, produced by Telania (www.telania.com) that leverages Web 2.0 technology. We'll talk more about how an LMS works in a later section.
2. Another critical element of an e-learning system is a courseware development process (sometimes called authoring) that prepares the content for e-learning delivery. Despite the differences in technology and delivery methods, e-learning relies on essentially the same principles of most traditional learning methods, imparting new knowledge and skills that alter behavior and improve performance.
Typically, e-learning courseware produces training courses that comply with the SCORM standard, a set of technical standards for e-learning software products. The purpose of the SCORM standard is to tell programmers how to write their code so that it can "play well" with other e-learning software. According to several industry experts, SCORM governs how online learning content and Learning Management Systems (LMS) communicate with each other. SCORM does not speak to instructional design or any other pedagogical concern, it is purely a technical standard. The purpose of this standard is to enhance the interoperability of training materials from one system to another.
A recent development has been what is called "rapid deployment" training, using PowerPoint output converted to Flash for web delivery. Commonly used courseware development programs of this genre include Articulate Presenter (www.articulate.com) and Adobe Presenter (www.adobe.com), along with a number of similar programs that convert PowerPoint presentations to Flash for easier storage and relatively universal access. In addition, there are a number of simulation programs such as Adobe Captivate and Camtasia (http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.asp) that are used primarily to demonstrate and train users of software programs or to deliver "how to" technical presentations. In some cases, content can also include video productions (in whole or in part) for web or streaming media delivery. "How to" videos abound on You-tube. Learning Content Management Systems, such as eLeaP, provide these capabilities as an integrated part of their packages. Selecting an e-Learning and training platform such as eLeaP, offers a natural solution for those needing an easy to use system that can be implemented quickly.
3. The final element is a delivery and receiving platform that presents the training to the learner. This typically resembles a client/server environment when used on the Internet or an intranet, ensuring the user access to the material. On occasion, e-learning is delivered through a CD-ROM or DVD that is physically delivered to the learner. This media can be used on a computer or on any CD or DVD player capable of reproducing video, replacing,in a way, the old-fashioned training movie.
This delivery platform typically requires a host using TCP/IP. Today, many systems are in place that leverage Web 2.0 technology. Web 2.0 sites allow users to collaborate or to change content, whereas earlier systems limit users to just viewing the material presented. Web 2.0 systems improve access to simulations and games that enhance and reinforce learning.The eLeaP platform, for example, leverages the capabilities of Web 2.0 technology to the advantage of the user.
We also see e-learning delivered through teleconference presentations such as those provided by Webex or GoToMeeting.Although presentations are typically "live" and instructor-led, the platform can also be used to deliver static,pre-recorded materials. These programs are designed in ways that enable them to provide virtual classrooms; they use dynamics that enable the users and presenters to interact.
Keep in mind, any of these elements can be combined in a number of ways to enable a full spectrum of e-learning technology…from content creation, to content access and delivery. As an example, have a look at the eLeaP LMS/LCMS (www.telania.com) and you'll find an excellent example of how these features can be combined into a single platform that serves virtually all the functions needed to produce and deliver e-learning. This system offers tools for creating,delivering, tracking, reporting, and administration, all on a hosted website dedicated to each specific user. What's most remarkable about systems such as this is their ability to be deployed almost immediately, with setup taking less than a day.Students, too, find it user friendly and require little or no training to get started.

Texas to Pay $10,000 for Each Toyota Job
State Incentive Helps Land Car Maker's North American Headquarters
Toyota Motor Corp. TM 0.55% is starting a multiyear overhaul of its North American operations, consolidating several units at new headquarters in Plano, Texas, that will house 4,000 employees now spread across separate marketing, manufacturing and finance locations.
The moves disclosed on Monday will be the most significant changes in decades to the way the world's largest auto maker does business in its single biggest market. The decision also has political and economic repercussions for the states of California, which will lose as many as 3,000 jobs, and Texas, which will gain roughly 4,000 jobs.
Jim Lentz, chief executive of Toyota's North American operations, said the decision to consolidate in the Dallas suburb stemmed from conversations he had with Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda about a year ago, soon after Mr. Lentz got his current job.
Toyota's current sales and marketing unit headquarters in Torrance, Calif., was too far from the auto maker's factories in Kentucky, Indiana, Mississippi and Texas and from its engineering center in Ann Arbor, Mich., Mr. Lentz said. Erlanger, Ky., where Toyota's North American manufacturing operations are now based, was too small, he said.
Toyota narrowed its preferred locations to Denver, Atlanta and Charlotte, N.C., before choosing the Dallas-Plano area, a person familiar with the matter said. Real-estate firm Jones Lang LaSalle handled the search.
"We weren't pursued by Texas," Mr. Lentz said. "It isn't a Texas versus California discussion."
California's business climate and costs of living have become sensitive topics in the state, especially in light of Texas Gov. Rick Perry's efforts to woo employers from the Golden State with promises of lighter regulation and lower taxes.
On the Road
Toyota is consolidating at new headquarters in Plano, Texas, from southern California. Highlights:
Texas will gain about 4,000 jobs, paying $10,000 a job under its incentive program
Toyota's U.S. sales unit has been based in Southern California since 1957 and since expanded to other functions, including design, which will remain.
California will lose up to 3,000 jobs
(Source: the company)
Japanese auto maker Nissan Motor Co. moved its U.S. headquarters to Franklin, Tenn., from California in 2006. Some high-level Honda Motor Co. employees left the state last year for Ohio. Honda said the company had no plans to move its U.S. sales and marketing headquarters out of the Los Angeles area.
Texas offered Toyota $40 million to move, part of a Texas Enterprise Fund incentive program run out of the governor's office. At $10,000 a job, it was one of the largest incentives handed out in the decade-old program and cost more per job created than any other large award. Last year, Texas spent about $6,800 to lure each of 1,700 Chevron Corp. positions to Houston and $5,800 for each of 3,600 Apple Inc. jobs shifted to Austin.
"It is the biggest win we've had in a decade," Mr. Perry said in an interview. "Ten years of tax, regulatory, legal and educational policies have now put Texas at the top of the heap."
California Gov. Jerry Brown didn't address the Toyota decision specifically but took note of criticism directed at the state. "We've got a few problems, we have lots of little burdens and regulations and taxes, but smart people figure out how to make it" in the state, he said at an event in Lancaster, Calif., with Chinese electric-vehicle maker BYD Co.
In response to Toyota's relocation, the state's economic development office said "dozens of businesses big and small," including auto makers, have expanded in the state.
The reorganization is part of a larger effort by Toyota to cut costs and run its North American business as a cohesive operation. Until last year, its manufacturing, sales and marketing, and research and engineering were distinct units with their own headquarters and top executives.
Toyota's U.S. sales unit has been based in Southern California since 1957. The auto maker has expanded its operations in the area to include product planning, vehicle design, consumer finance and logistics. The auto maker also has a small manufacturing operation in Long Beach, Calif. Toyota's design studio and several other small functions will remain in California, keeping its total workforce at 2,300.
"I don't think it is a big secret that outside of the IT and entertainment industry, that California is too much of an overregulated, high-cost place of doing business," said Sean McAlinden, chief economist for the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor. "But it's not just about insulting California. [Toyota] had too many different organizations operating at the same time not operating as the same entity."
Executives will start moving from Toyota's sales center in Torrance and its manufacturing offices in Erlanger as soon as July to leased properties in the Dallas suburb while a facility is constructed. The bulk of the transfers won't take place until the new headquarters is finished around the end of 2016 or early 2017. Toyota said its financial services operations will move to Plano in 2017.
In all, about 3,000 workers from California and 1,000 from Kentucky will transfer to Texas. Some 250 purchasing employees will be shifted to Michigan from Kentucky. Employees from the company's corporate office in New York also will move to Texas.
A challenge for Toyota will be avoiding a brain drain. Nissan retained just 32% of its workforce when it relocated from the Los Angeles area to Franklin, Tenn., outside Nashville. Many more employees returned to California after a few years, said Larry Dominique, who was Nissan's chief of U.S. product planning at the time and now is president of Automotive Lease Guide.
"When you lose centuries of institutional knowledge, that can have a negative impact on the overall brand," he said. "The positive side is that you can shave off the old [and] bring in new talent and thinking."
Toyota's Mr. Lentz said the company is determined to retain current employees. The company is offering company-paid trips to Texas or Michigan, and relocation packages to anyone who wants to move.

USC Pitches Way To 4-3 Win At No. 14 Oregon State
April 17, 2009
CORVALLIS, Ore. - USC junior Robert Stock (Westlake Village/Agoura HS), who started the game at catcher, came in as a reliever in the eighth and held off the tying run Friday as the USC Trojans opened a Pac-10 Conference series with the 4-3 win over the No. 14 Oregon State Beavers. Stock got his fourth save of the season with the tying run at second and again in the ninth with a runner at third, striking out Adalberto Santos to close out the win.
USC improved to 18-16 overall and 8-5 in Pac-10 play, just a half game behind Oregon State (22-8, 7-3) for second place in the conference. The Trojans also handed the Beavers their first home loss in 11 games this season.
Junior righty Brad Boxberger (Tustin/Foothill HS) had another strong start for the Trojans, improving to 3-3, with 7 1/3 innings. He allowed three runs on seven hits with three walks and six strikeouts.
Grant Green singled in the first and scored the first run when Ricky Oropesa hit a slow roller up the middle. Green broke on the pitch and scored easily. Mike O'Neill singled in the third and moved to third on Green's double. Oropesa was intentionally walked to load the bases, but OSU starter Tyler Waldron hit Anthony Vasquez on his first pitch to force in the run. Stock then hit a ground ball, but the Beavers were unable to turn the double play as USC made it a 3-0 lead.
Things got chippy in the USC half of the fourth after Brandon Garcia hit a leadoff homer. Waldron's first pitch following the home run was too close for comfort in Alex Sherrod's mind. Sherrod had some words for Waldron as warnings were issued to both benches.
Boxberger held the Beavers scoreless through six innings until the seventh. OSU got its first leadoff hitter aboard when Stefen Romero doubled to left. John Wallace then used a bunt single to put runners at the corners, followed by Koa Kahalehoe's RBI double to center. Michael Miller walked to load the bases, but Boxberger induced a double play from pinch hitter Brett Casey as the Beavers' second run scored. Joey Wong then singled home Kahalehoe, but Boxberger struck out Santos looking to maintain the one-run advantage.
After Ortiz hit a one-out double in the eighth, Stock came in and walked Wallace before striking out Kahalehoe on a full count to strand the tying run at second. Miller walked to lead off the ninth, but Casey could not advance the runner as he popped up his bunt attempt to catcher Hector Rabago, who came in for Stock after the switch. Wong then hit a grounder back to Stock, who threw to first for the second out. Miller then advanced to third on a Stock wild pitch before the game ended on the Santos strikeout.
The USC-Oregon State series continues tomorrow at 2 p.m. with the finale at noon on Sunday (April 19). Both games will be broadcast live on usctrojans.com.

The Dominators have been defeated and the superheroes returned to their respective shows. So what does this all mean for "Supergirl," "The Flash," "Arrow" and "Legends of Tomorrow"?
The biggest takeaway from the entire "Invasion!" crossover is that all four shows are now able to move beyond the drama of Flashpoint. Barry's secret is out, everyone has dealt with the ramifications of the timeline changes and can finally move on.
Of course, that doesn't solve the Alchemy problem. "There's a villain coming up who's another one of the husk villains that was created by Alchemy, so there's that to deal with," executive producer Andrew Kreisberg teases.
RELATED: The moment The CW became a superhero juggernaut
But Flashpoint dividing the team seems like a thing of he past, if only because there's an even more intense threat on the way.
"The midseason finale, Episode 9, kind of creates a new problem for our heroes that they weren't anticipating, something that they've never faced before," he says. "It's so big, we're actually considering changing the saga sell from talking about Flashpoint to talking about that, because that's really what's driving the episodes for the rest of the season, actually. Flashpoint won't loom as large as the challenge that presents itself in 309."
The good thing about moving past the emotional drama of Flashpoint is that fans will finally get back the Barry (Grant Gustin) and Cisco (Carlos Valdes) relationship they love to much.
RELATED: 'The Flash' finally reveals a timeline change that isn't Barry's fault
"Their friendship has been renewed through the course of these episodes," Kreisberg says. "So when we come back in Episode 9, Team Flash is in a really good place and strong again, which they need to be, because they're going to confront Savitar in Episode 9."
There's no telling what this new threat will be but with Alchemy and Savitar already making things very difficult for Central City, Team Flash may need some reinforcements if they're going to survive Season 3. | commoncrawl |
👉 Severe conjunctivitis, best steroid cycle for lean muscle gain - Buy legal anabolic steroids
Severe conjunctivitis
Steroids accelerate the synthesis of protein inside the cells, which leads to severe hypertrophy of muscle tissue (this process is called anabolism)and the formation of new blood vessels (this process is called anabolism).
But the effects of steroids on muscle stem cells can also be very different than the effects they cause in the rest of the muscles, top 10 most dangerous steroids. In other words, a steroid (or a combination of several steroids) might cause muscle hypertrophy, but muscle atrophy can occur either in the muscle cells or in their stem cells.
This makes sense, since the steroid's effects are generally in the part of the body that responds to it – the muscle cells – but the muscle stem cells might not be exactly the same thing, steroid pills to get ripped.
Because steroids (and possibly many of the same drugs) affect the same parts of the body, and because anabolic steroid users are usually steroid users, this doesn't sound too complicated. Except, when it comes to the effects of steroids on muscles – the damage is more complex
What the study showed
Now, the purpose of this article isn't to convince you that steroids cause hypertrophy by accident. And that is, of course, a very silly conclusion. Rather, the study used two very large groups (the group I mentioned) of people – one of whom received a huge dose of steroids and another of whom did not – both groups were then analyzed from the same point in time, and from the same geographic area in the same way: muscle biopsies were taken from their upper arms, 50 mg anavar capsules.
What were they looking for? They were looking for certain proteins called myosin heavy chain (MHC) family members – the kinds of proteins that are usually made and stored inside the muscle cells, conjunctivitis severe. The idea behind these proteins is that they contain information about where and when muscle cells were made.
Since muscle cells themselves make myosin heavy chain, this means that muscle cells that are older will accumulate more MHC family members, as you will see in a moment, best steroid for muscle endurance.
Why would an earlier-made muscle cell accumulate more MHC family members than older-built muscle cells? Because a muscle is made to last a long time after the time of its division – the muscle fibers it contains contain more than one generation of these myosin family members, prednisolone eye drops weird taste in mouth. Since there has been more time for these fibers to make an MHC family member since the division of the muscle into a new unit has not yet been completed, they will have accumulated more MHC family members at a higher rate than older-built muscle cells, best anabolic steroids for females.
Best steroid cycle for lean muscle gain
The best steroid cycle to get ripped as the best steroid cycles for lean mass, one of the best ways to build muscle and burn fat simultaneously is to takea daily dose of testosterone . Taking this one pill a day can give you a huge advantage over people who put all of their eggs in one basket. To make sure your body gets the maximum benefit, I recommend a cycle that contains 5mg of testosterone at 3 meals - one with a fat-burning meal, one with a sugar-burning meal, and one with a muscle-building meal, preferably a breakfast and a lunch, steroid cycle build muscle lose fat. To avoid the common mistakes, try this, best steroid to gain mass. The good thing is that any day of the week you can get the benefit of a 5 mg dose of testosterone, bulking cycle best. So, instead of taking the same 5 mg in the morning, go with the 5 mg once a day, best steroids to combine. That's a whole lot of money saved over using the same dose over and over again. One way you can save money is by starting the cycle in the morning. The reason for this isn't only that you're going to be getting the best testosterone, best steroid cycle for lean muscle gain. You are also going to be getting less of the bad stuff that's created by taking too much at one time. For example, take a daily dose of 5 mg and stop it at 8 PM. While you're at work in the mornings, you can do a full work-out or do some heavy lifting just before bed, gain steroid lean for muscle best cycle. For extra testosterone , I recommend taking one of the following supplements: - A fat burning diet: It works because you are simply going to be getting more calories than you have in the morning and that's going to give you an immediate boost to the body's thermo-regulation system and the ability to get a lot more testosterone in the first place. - A sugar burning diet: This method is based on the concept of burning both sugar to help produce more testosterone and fat to burn, best anabolic cycle for bulking. That basically means you are going to be burning fat to get the full-effect, while sugar won't work quite as well because you have to burn both. - An exercise cycle: This is more for endurance athletes, especially those who want to look lean but don't want to put in the time to get really ripped by working out or training for more than 5 days a week, steroid cycle build muscle lose fat. That's all for testosterone, best steroid cycle bulking. A couple more things are important, like adding back fat-burning carbohydrates at meal times. Also, don't skip meals at night.

Dear Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask Review - Wishtrend
Hello guys, how are you all, i hope you are all well. Today i am here to review Dear Klairs's Freshly juiced Vitamin E mask kindly sent to me by Wishtrend . Though this product was sent to me, whatever i am going to say in this post is my own unbiased opinion.
Klairs is a well renowned skincare brand, their products are alcohol and parabens free. This Vitamin E mask is the first product i have ever used from Klairs so i was really excited to try the product when i received it.
What the brand says about the product
'The Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask can be used as a mask, sleeping pack or a daily moisturizer. Fortified with the antioxidant power of Vitamin E to brighten, improve wrinkles, and prevent signs of aging. While it protects the skin from UV damages during the day, it helps with wrinkle improvement and skin regeneration during the night time.'
I really like the packaging of this product. The outer cardboard box has a holographic front cover. The product itself comes in a plastic jar with a silver cap. The jar also comes with a small spatula (I apologize , i forgot to take the photo of the spatula =p
) with which you can take out right amount of the product, which I find very hygienic.
Vitamin E: Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant which is effective at reducing UV damage in skin. It also helps to reduce the appearance of scars and moisturize skin to make it look soft and supple.
Niacinamide: Niacinamide helps in boosting skin's immunity. It also helps in getting rid of hyper-pigmentation and helps in minimizing wrinkles and fine lines.
Adenosine: Adenosine helps soothe and restore skin . It also helps in minimizing wrinkles and making the skin look smoother and younger.
The texture of this mask is pudding/jello like. To use the product I first mash the product on the back of my hand with a spatula or warm it in the palms of my hands then i apply it on my face. The product literally melts into the skin when rubbed into the skin leaving no greasiness behind. You can checkout the texture of this product on my
post or in the gif below:
I have been using this product since two weeks now and i absolutely love it. I have seen a huge improvement in my skin since i have been using it. I have been using this product as a sleeping mask and my dry as sahara desert skin looks so moisturized and smooth when i wake up in the morning. I have also noticed that this product is helping me reduce my acne scars which i was really struggling to get rid of since the last breakout which i had 2 weeks back!
I have also been using this product during day time under my makeup as a moisturizer/primer as well because it gives instant smoothness and i have been loving how my foundation glides smoothly over this. Thankfully with this sleeping mask i haven't had any acne breakouts which is always a plus point for me as my skin is sometimes super sensitive. I am absolutely loving my skin for now, if i will notice anymore changes, i will surely update this post.
For placing order or for more information about the product please visit Wishtrend . This is all for today, i hope you enjoyed this post. For more reviews like this, please keep visiting my blog . Thankyou. | commoncrawl |

This sunscreen doesn't leave a white film on my skin, which is great! It's non greasy and doesn't clog my pores, nor make me break out.
It protects my skin from the sun and I only need to reapply it about once if I spend the whole day in the sun (more if swimming).
It protects my skin from the sun and I only need to reapply it about once if I spend the whole day in the sun (more if swimming).
I LOVE this sun screen because it is not heavy at all, does not feel greasy, and my skin doesn't react badly to it at all. I mostly use it on my face when I got out. This is definitely my go to when I go to the beach.
Very good product but a little bit too pricey , i love the packing the smell its good it worths the hype to buy it again and i would recommend to all people that are older than 20 years because it protects the skin
I want to love it, but it's just not working out for my skin. I have oily skin so this makes it worse. Also, i've noticed some breakouts with the use of it. I think i'll stick to primers or face creams that contain SPF.
Phenomenal product. This product absorbs quickly into skin and does not leave that hated greasy residue. This product lays well under makeup and does not cause breakouts on my super sensitive acne prone skin. Whilst the bottle is shockingly small ( you don't expect sunblock to come in such small quantities) a little goes a long way and the bottle lasts really long even with daily use. Best of all this acts like a primer in that it mattifies and blurs the skin. Sometimes I use this and finishing powder and my skin looks pretty good. This is worth every penny and I have repurchased often.
I have convinced many friends to try it and they are all obsessed.

Just bought this! So far it is great, but the price was quite high... If you are in the market for a high-end sunscreen, go for it! If not, it's not worth the money.
Best SPF. I truly believe this keeps my skin clear, as when I don't use it I find more breakouts. Soaks into skin without leaving a film and great packaging. Lasts forever too!
Absolutely amazing product. Light, not greasy, absorbs quickly, perfect as a primer for make up. And it does the job, never have burnt my face with this one. Will definitely buy another bottle. And I bought it myself after an extensive research and it didn't let me down.
Awesome product for my dry skin! It sat on my skin very well! didn't dry it out. It is very gentle on the face. Great price for great product. Went beyond expectations. Would definitely recommend to friends
i use this as a sun screen! i do not like the feeling of regular sun screens and they also make me break out but this is amazing! i use this daily all summer :)

What Is a Polarizing Filter?
When it comes to filters for your iPhone 13 Pro, a polarizing filter is a must-have. With so many options on the market, it can be difficult to know which one to choose.
Here's a quick primer on polarizing filters: they help reduce glare and reflections, and they also deepen the colors of your photos. In other words, they make your photos look more vibrant and realistic.
But not all polarizing filters are created equal. Well, that depends on what kind of photography you're into. Landscape photographers will want a filter that removes reflections from lakes and rivers, while portrait photographers might prefer a filter that reduces glare from the sun.
The Benefits of Using a Polarizing Filter
So what are the benefits of using a polarizing filter? Well, let's start with how it can improve the quality of your photos.
A polarizing filter can help reduce reflections and glare, which often diminishes the color and contrast of photos. It also helps to deepen blue skies and make white clouds really pop.

- When you're looking through the viewfinder, rotate the filter until you see the image darken or lighten up. You'll know it's in the right spot when the colors become more vibrant and the contrast is greater.
- Try not to move the filter after you've adjusted it, as this can affect the results. If you do have to move it, make sure you re-adjust it accordingly.
- Keep in mind that polarizing filters can reduce the amount of light that enters the lens, so use them sparingly if you're shooting in low-light conditions.
- And lastly, have fun experimenting with different filters and see what works Best for your photography style!

At the time, I was directing the online campaign in PA-08 for Ginny Schrader (D-Blogosphere) and was trying to do anything possible to hype her campaign. Little did I know what would become of a two minute entry on dkosopedia.
To be perfectly honest, I'd forgotten about it until it showed up in the National Journal just as Tim Tagaris and I were plotting on when to kick of the online fundraising for Paul Hackett. The rest, as they say, is history.
Today, there has already been $16,395 raised online for ActBlue. Yet if every US Senator who has applauded the event were to max out, that number would triple.
A couple of other thoughts on the tradition and on teamwork…
First, residual effect:
Ginny Schrader raised $89,765 across all ActBlue pages
Patrick Murphy raised $165,931 across all ActBlue pages (and won!!!)
Now, even the Bucks County Democratic Club (heart of PA-08) is on ActBlue having already raised $1,630 from 77 people.
In 2005, Hackett coming so close was major news with even Newt Gingrich scared of the blogosphere while the netroots were winning awards. Yet in 2006, in the same district, Vic Wulsin did even better than Hackett and we're going to win the seat this year.
I think that ActBlue is the most critical piece of infrastructure in recent years. While it helps bloggers to do things like Blogosphere Day and raise a $100K for Dean upon him winning the DNC Chair race, it also provides the infrastructure necessary for US Senators to raise money like they did for Tim Johnson last quarter.
So tonight, reflect back on all we've done, Act Blue, and appreciate what we can do when we work together. | commoncrawl |
Recently, at the SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, I was asked a question about the 'engineer of the future.' As we take a pause to turn the page to next year, I believe now is a prescient time to contemplate what's next for petroleum engineering.
Throughout my career, I've been able to witness great change in our industry as the shale revolution took hold making horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing commonplace, diagnostic and modeling tools improved in access and cost, and data became more timely and readily available. This led to a tremendous period of US energy supply growth and decades-long productivity improvements.
Looking forward, I believe there are three trends that engineers should consider: 1) applying "new" tools to solve "old" problems, 2) connecting the dots via hybrid engineering, and 3) organizing, directing, and inserting data predictions into their workflow. These are not only my views but also the views of Devon's talented engineers.
Old problems will meet new solutions. The past decade has been dominated by unconventional horizontal development that was first pioneered in the Barnett Shale for natural gas and shortly thereafter transitioned into oil-focused development in the Bakken and Eagle Ford. Today, the Permian Basin continues to grow in total supply as the stacked pay is developed.
Engineers should take stock of the tool set we have acquired during this era with a mindset to deploy these methodologies to tier II unconventional extensions, previously developed or bypassed conventional formations, offshore and international opportunities, enhanced recovery projects such as EOR and refracturing, and new energy opportunities like geothermal. To make these future opportunities competitive and meet the global demand for energy, we will likely need a combination of price, technology, and cost improvements.
Engineers are critical to the latter two. To better illustrate these points let's utilize examples. Drilling rig specification improvements have been coupled with material science and design improvements in bottomhole assemblies. The outcome is improved topdrives and mud pressure systems to power more durable and efficient downhole motors and bits, thus reducing failures, enhancing the efficiency of a rig's daily footage, and enabling longer laterals. If we pivot to the completion space, our diagnostics for frac geometry have gone from limited and costly to a menu of options that provide fit-for-purpose diagnostics and costs.
Devon deployed its first permanent fiber diagnostics in unconventional shale in 2012. Today, the same system is readily available but for a much lower cost. However, more frequently Devon has supplemented this tool with dip-in fiber and a proprietary methodology called sealed wellbore pressure monitoring to gather more frequent data points for frac geometry and design. As our team conducted, in cooperation with the US Department of Energy (DOE), a novel Eagle Ford project capturing horizontal core and completion diagnostics, we recognized that our designs have tremendously improved in efficiency but still have potential to capture more of the resource via initial and secondary fracturing efforts.
If we consider the production space, a tool that has been within our systems for years is SCADA. This system historically was a controls system. During the past 2 decades it has provided the first step in a system streaming data, coupled with evermore sensors and visual cameras, to enable our local decision support center in each asset. These centers now serve as the brains of our field operations, remotely monitoring, dispatching repairs, and optimizing wells daily. These efforts have led to the upskilling of our field staff and increased our efficiencies on a well count per team member basis.
These are just a few examples as to how we, at Devon, have transformed during the shale era and this mindset should be the foundation for unlocking future industry challenges.
Hybrid engineering melds the skills of different disciplines into an improved solution. As I reflect on my own experience, one of the big changes in the shale era has been the segregation of engineering skills to build deeper capabilities. Engineers might have originally held responsibilities spanning two capabilities, perhaps three, e.g., drilling, completions, facilities, production, reservoir, and planning. The eventual segregation of job scope was beneficial as growing knowledge catalyzed segment improvements which were important as we migrated to more robust development plans.
The future trend for engineers will be the ability to meld disciplines and integrate tools to unlock more resource recovery per unit of cost. To illustrate, consider the following examples.
Subsurface optimization epitomizes the challenges of past and future development decisions. In a single-zone greenfield development, well spacing and completion design interact to achieve an economic outcome. This situation becomes more complicated when you contemplate multiple zones with connected flow units necessitating decisions about vertical spacing, sequencing, and the effects of co-development, or lack thereof, on future development. Finally, layer in the effects of time, as most operations contain a previously developed well that has undergone depletion.
These are the type of challenges that only hybrid engineers can overcome. We must marry our historical experiences and learnings with future challenges across multiple disciplines to yield custom solutions. Predicting well performance has become progressively more difficult as solely relying on offset wells to inform forecasts is the way of the past. An integrated team, however, can distill the most informative variables in a grand multivariate problem to yield better solutions.
If we pivot from the subsurface to the surface, the combination of increasingly complex facilities, addition of emission reduction and monitoring expectations, and the growing need for electricity has had a profound effect on the job scope of a facility engineer. Now our engineers must give forethought to working with power providers, or in some cases, microgrids and local power generation, which require decisions years in advance of production. The inclusion of onsite continuous monitoring sensors for optimization and emissions purposes elevates the coordination to design the equipment. Lastly, the economic efficiencies of connecting multiple units into a single site must be balanced with the design requirements of varying well tie-in timing and peak rates.
As these examples illustrate, a hybrid engineer will have to integrate multiple challenges, both internal and external, to routinely design custom solutions. I expect engineers who can connect the dots will have outsized influence on teams.
Data and a future with AI. Data has been a transformational change during my career. I recall data being gathered by hand and other times via technicians who would input it into spreadsheets. Our historical systems were designed for low-quality and low-volume data. Fortunately, great change has happened as wellsites stream data, from the subsurface and surface, to organized data management systems.
When I asked engineers about the future of the industry, they all mentioned data and AI. To make it actionable I simplify this effect into two skills: data conditioning and predictions.
Data conditioning is the skill of using data science packages to gather and characterize data to feed predictions. Predictions are the output of algorithms from simple multi-what if equations to deep learning honing the algorithm based on dynamic situations and previous prediction outcomes.
The component connecting these two skill sets will be the act of coding. Coding, once reserved as a niche skill set, will be a ubiquitous tool for engineers. That change can sound daunting; however, as Devon's engineers have demonstrated, the advance in large language models lessens the barrier to coding.
A holistic example is how Devon has made important changes to train and lower the barrier to skill development. We have initiated a data science cohort boot camp for our team members. Within this camp, experts in data engineering, architecture, and science instruct our team members and eventually coach participants to a final business project.
A production engineer recently highlighted his results in a broad forum to reinforce the approach to "learn, do, share." This specific project captured the task of compression optimization. A necessary task in the present becomes more proactive and efficient with data improvements and AI.
For context, compression optimization is a task that engineers undertake as volumes decline and equipment becomes oversized, incurring unnecessary costs. By connecting data from operations, supply chain, and financial accounting, our team can rapidly scan the field for optimization projects and prioritize. Although this is a simple example, imagine the effects of scale with multiple assets in a decentralized field structure overseeing hundreds of compressor units. The engineer's purpose didn't change; the process for the task did though.
Data and AI will change our industry for the better. At the root of this change will be the empowerment of engineers to make better decisions.
In closing, I want to reflect on why I first became an engineer. The intersection of solving problems with brilliant and diverse people and global relevance provided the fuel to become an engineer. Looking forward, given the right tools and support, I'm confident our skills will be needed to provide energy to power the world, the challenges will be as rewarding as ever, and the people will make the journey memorable.

Some kids need a little encouragement to get excited for going back to school. It can be overwhelming or scary. The following is a look at a few things you can do as a parent to help your kids get more excited and prepared for back to school:
Back to school clothes. If a kid feels good about how they look, they usually feel pretty good about themselves. It is important in your back to school encouragement that you include some new back to school clothes. Help them feel excited about school because they are going to look good when they go. Allow them to choose a few new outfits, accessories, and the basics that they need, and let your child use clothes as part of how they express themselves. They will be less weary of going back to school, and will likely be excited to show off their new digs.
New backpacks, lunch boxes and so on. You can help encourage your child to go back to school with up to date school gear. Kids get excited when they see notebooks, backpacks, and all of the other things they need for a successful school year. If they know they will be prepared and have the calculators and other goods necessary for school, they will feel less anxiety about going. Let them join you when you pick their gear out. They may appreciate getting to choose the folders and notebooks they will be carrying around all year.
Alarm clock. Believe it or not, getting a kid their own personal alarm clock can really encourage them to go to school. Younger children will be excited to set the alarm and go to bed at night so they can wake up to it. Older kids will feel less anxious about waking up late and not having time to get ready for school.
Praise, praise, praise. No matter what the thing your child is anxious about, praise and positive speaking can help encourage them to be excited about school, learning, getting back to the social aspects of school etc. If they are nervous about meeting new people, and having to make new friends, you can praise them as someone people want to get to know and love. If they are worried about academics, praise their intelligence and work ethic. If they are worried about something else, simply praise them all around as a great person, a smart person, a wonderful person. The better they feel about themselves and the more prepared they feel for school, the less encouragement they will need to go back to school.
Help your child feel confident about themselves, their academic abilities, and their looks, and chances are they won't need more encouragement than that. Kids are often insecure, and back to school anxieties stem from that. Help them feel secure, and they will be excited, or at least not apprehensive, about school. | commoncrawl |

The diamond pipes or clusters of pipes at diamond bearing locations attest to this, as do alluvial diamonds in stream sediments associated with impact fields, ie basins which formed during an ancient cometary impact. The Tweed Valley in far Eastern Australia is one such, the diamonds that turn up there the highest quality in Australia, satellite photography has identified large impact basins in Western Australia, including a system of interlocking impact formations, visible on Google Earth, and on nightly TV Weather Maps of Australias mainland. Picture shots of drops falling into milk for instance, a crown like structure will appear, the points on the crown corresponds to the vents formed during impact that carries impacted material, and pieces of the comet, diamonds, to the surface. Typically a diamondiferous crater will have a central peak associated with the impact, see Mount Warning in the Tweed Valley, however the diamondiferous pipes are at the boundaries of the crater. Obtain a GPS and go to the locations you have pinpointed from satellite photos, use an ultra violet light source to find which pebbles and pieces of gravel fluoresce in the UV, then find which stones will leave a scratch mark on glass. The ones that do are the diamonds, I have used this tequnique to locate some great stones from a hitherto unmapped source on Kangaroo Island, off the coast of South Australia. Word is that at the diamond mines in South Africa the diamonds are getting bigger the deeper the miners dig.. tales of boulder sized objects arise, where miners gather to drink and talk, when they get to the nucleus of the comet maybe thousand ton diamonds will be found.
When you think about it, they are just stones, there value is false other than as a cutting medium, there not even rare, the gem market is controlled by a few big companies who set the price by holding most stones back I'd take a tourmaline over a diamond anyday
I think he is better at drinking with the miners. Diamonds are found in kimberlites and lamproites. Neither of which are caused by cometary strikes. There are also diamonds resulting from subduction; Subduction model for the origin of some diamonds in the Phanerozoic of eastern New South Wales - Australian Journal of Earth Sciences: An International Geoscience Journal of the Geological Society of Australia Eastern New South Wales has produced over 500 000 carats of diamonds, mostly from the Copeton-Bingara area in the north. A local derivation is indicated by their distinct tribal character and lack of surface damage, while carbon isotopic values and composition of mineral inclusions are unlike those in diamonds from conventional diamond-producing areas, for example Yakutia (Siberia), Kapvaal (South Africa), or Argyle (Western Australia). The eastern New South Wales tectonic setting is also unlike that for 'conventional' diamonds, involving a Phanerozoic sequence of accreted subduction terranes, with relatively thin hot crust. A subduction diamond model is developed to explain the origin and geology of eastern New South Wales diamonds. This model involves prolonged subduction of mature oceanic crust, resulting in the development of a low-temperature metamorphic window into the diamond stability field within the downgoing slab at half the depth required by conventional models. The diamonds are preserved at depth by termination of subduction, and brought to the surface by obduction or by entrainment in suitable magmas. The type of diamond formed depends on the original source rock (diamond affinity is shown in brackets): carbonaceous-rich and carbonaceous-poor trench sediments (CaFeMgMn-silicate, eclogitic), graphite-poor basalt and gabbro (eclogitic) and lherzolite (peridotitic). The model predicts that the New South Wales diamonds are young (Phanerozoic) and that their features, age, associated minerals and geographic distribution relate to New South Wales tectonic provinces. The subduction diamond model extends the range of indicator minerals to include macro-diamond, corundum, Na-garnet, with a new series of carrier magmas (basanite, nephelinite, leucitite). Unsuccessful previous exploration in New South Wales, based on conventional models, has produced some positive results when reinterpreted in terms of the subduction diamond model. A re-evaluation of diamond potential of eastern New South Wales is warranted. Argyle diamond mine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Argyle Diamond Mine is a diamond mine located in the East Kimberley region in the remote north of Western Australia. Argyle is the largest diamond producer in the world by volume, although due to the low proportion of gem-quality diamonds, is not the leader by value. It is the only known significant source of pink diamonds, producing over 90% of the world's supply. It additionally provides a large proportion of other naturally coloured diamonds, including champagne, cognac and rare blue diamonds. Argyle is currently transitioning from an open pit mine to an underground mine. The Argyle diamond mine is also notable for being the first successful commercial diamond mine exploiting a volcanic pipe of lamproite, rather than the more usual kimberlite pipe; much earlier attempts to mine diamonds from a lamproite pipe in Arkansas, USA were commercially unsuccessful. The Argyle mine is owned by the Rio Tinto Group, a diversified mining company which also owns the Diavik Diamond Mine in Canada and the Murowa Diamond Mine in Zimbabwe. The Lamproite pipe near Murfreesboro, Arkansas, is owned by the government and is open to the public, where you can look for diamonds for a small fee, and keep what you find. Many other minerals of interest there, also.
I find it hard to believe that a fairly short lived incident like a meteor or comet strike could create diamonds. Other than very tiny ones, I don't see the time course being long enough to create diamonds of any appreciable size. | commoncrawl |
'Shoestring' was a US airborne operation to drop 1,830 men of the 511th Parachute Infantry and 457th Field Artillery Battalion to take and hold Tagaytay Ridge on Luzon island in the Japanese-held Philippine islands group (3 February 1945).
After completing its training at Oro-Dobodura in New Guinea in November 1945, the 511th Parachute Infantry was sent to the Philippine islands group for service, after 'King II', in the Battle of Leyte, in which its task was to take and hold the passes through the mountains in the centre of the island, and engage and reduce the Japanese forces in the area, ultimately in support of the concurrent battle for Ormoc. The 511th Parachute Infantry performed this mission during harsh monsoon weather in the steep, heavily forested terrain, emerging shortly after Christmas 1944 onto the Ormoc plain.
After rest and resupply, the regiment was sent to Mindoro island, where Major General Joseph M. Swing's 11th Airborne Division was preparing for its part in the Battle of Luzon. On 3 February 1945 the 511th Parachute Infantry boarded 48 Douglas C-47 Skytrain transport aircraft and made a combat jump on Tagaytay Ridge. As transport aircraft were in short supply, the 511th Parachute Infantry and its associated elements jumped in three echelons into an area had been cleared of Japanese forces by Filipino soldiers of the 4th, 41st, 42nd, 43rd, 45th and 46th Divisions of the Philippine Commonwealth Army, the 4th Infantry Regiment of the Philippine Constabulary, and a number of recognised guerrilla units. Despite some inaccurate drops, the regiment assembled successfully at its drop zone near the Manila Hotel Annex on Tagaytay Ridge and proceeded in battalions to the north in the direction of Manila, encountering occasional Japanese resistance in the towns of Imus and Las Piñas before engaging the Japanese at the Parañaque river just to the south of Manila, and then became embroiled in the Battle of Manila. | commoncrawl |

Have a child on the way? Here is the short and quick of breastfeeding.
If you're currently pregnant, you may have some questions about breastfeeding. Whether you're trying to determine whether or not to breastfeed or want to make sure you know what you're doing when the time comes, you're reading the right article.
What Are Perks for the Baby?
After centuries of being the sole method for feeding newborns, breastfeeding came into question as being beneficial for babies during the middle of the 20th century. As a result, many new mothers resorted to using formula in an effort to do what was best for their babies. However, once the benefits of breastfeeding for baby were determined, breastfeeding regained its position as best for baby.
A few of the perks your baby will enjoy from breastfeeding include the following:
- reduced risk for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), a condition that takes more lives of children ages 1 month to 1 year than any other condition
- faster weight gain for infants with low birth weight
- increased protection against common ailments such as the cold and ear infections
- lowered incidence of diarrhea, crying, diaper rash, and colic
- lessened risk for developing asthma later in life
- the possibility of higher IQs than infants who are formula fed
- Grantly Dick-Read
What Are Perks for Me?
In addition to the great benefits breastfeeding offers your little one, breastfeeding offers a number of fantastic benefits to you. One of the most heralded perks is your improved ability to lose weight following the birth of your child. However, the benefits don't stop there. Breastfeeding also allows you and your child to have a very close bond starting from day one. It also lowers your risk for a number of dangerous and deadly conditions, ranging from osteoporosis to breast, ovarian, and uterine cancer. As if those perks weren't enough, breastfeeding is also substantially cheaper than using formula.
What about the Downsides?
Everything has a downside, right? For breastfeeding, two downsides that are often pointed out are the pain associated with breastfeeding and the potential for sagging breasts. Fortunately, research has proven that breastfeeding does not cause breast sagging. As for the pain – each woman is different. Whereas some women never experience any pain, others feel it from the start. However, it typically abates as you learn how to breastfeed your baby. And once the pain is gone, you're left with a beneficial way to keep your baby close during the first precious months of life.
How Is It Done?
While breastfeeding is natural, it can feel very foreign to new mothers. For the most basic breastfeeding technique, sit upright. Place pillows behind your back, on your lap, and under your elbow. This keeps you and your baby well supported and allows you to relax as your baby feeds. Put your baby on his or her side, with his or her whole body facing you at the level of your nipple. Grasp your breast in a C or U shape with your thumb and index fingers. Offer the breast to your baby and keep your fingers away from your nipple to avoid having your hand get in the way. Once your baby opens his or her mouth, move the baby quickly to your breast, chin first, and keep him or her pulled close to your breast and body until feeding time is over.
Bloody Stools
Sometimes, a breastfeeding baby will experience blood in his or her stool. Most often, this is caused by a protein intolerance. In order to determine what protein your baby is allergic to, you may have to go on a very strict diet, eliminating wheat, soy, dairy, nuts, or other foods from your daily intake.
Most often, these changes eliminate your child's bloody stools. If not, you may have to begin using a special baby formula. Once your child hits 1 year of age, he or she should outgrow the allergy and be able to eat foods that contain whatever caused the bloody stools during infancy. | commoncrawl |
The I'm A Celebrity 2012 line up will be together for the first time this series tomorrow.
Tonight saw the two camps were given news that the following morning, Snake Rock would join Croc Creek. Rather than being pleased both teams were not looking forward to the merge.
In Croc Creek, boxer David Haye was quick to express his dislike at the prospect and the others quickly joined in.
David said, "I really don't want them to come here. I'm happy with my little group. I don't know these people, I don't want to know these people and I've got no interest in these people. I love my team here. They are imposters."
Helen added, "It's weird, we're like a family." whilst Linda admitted to not liking change.
Concerned at how cramped their camp would become David suggested they make rules, which the other celebrities would have to abide by.
He said, "We can't get ten people round here at the moment, so where are we going to sit. Maybe we should write down our rules. This is Croc Creek and these are Croc Creek rules. We get priority with the toilet!"
They later all went to the Bush Telegraph to talk about their thoughts on the merge.
The celebrities in Snake Rock were not looking forward to the prospect of moving either.
Nadine said, "We're not second class celebrities, we're not sleeping under anybody else's hammocks."
She continued, "We could always rebel. Something I know about rebelling. We can always rebel. I'm an expert at rebelling."
Hugo added, "Why do we have to be incorporated into theirs? I don't want to turn up there like a bunch of refuges and they're going to be like 'oh you have got to start living by our rules.'"
But Eric added, "Not going happen pal. We don't have to go by anyone's rules."

I am looking for someone close in age age location. I don't believe people can fall in love over the internet. I am not looking to rush into.
Good god...
Ask him questions about himself, based on what you already know about his life, hobbies, interests. Be responsive to his answers, by asking follow-ups and adding in your own experiences. Nothing opens a guy up like your showing interest in him.
O my Nice gap!!
At 30-37 you're in your absolute prime as a man. Assuming you've invested your time well, you have success, money, prestige, respect, you still have your looks, etc. If you are unattached at 30, women ages 24+ are tripping over themselves to go out with you. You're at least a ladder rung above them career and lifestyle-wise and if they get with you they immediately jump up a grade. And especially once they become more conscious of their biological clocks, you start becoming even more appealing.
What are the chances that his honey moon, limerence, idealistic love phase is over with you and he's too scared to admit it and break your heart? Personally, I think he's just looking for a way out that doesn't involve anyone being blamed.
Sorry this is bull . Should have saved time and just stopped at be above average in looks or success
D) The worry of some type of back lash from her mom???
serious db
You are going to massage parlors without her knowledge and with no remorse or regret. She is at least sorry ! Duh
Keep in mind, reuploading your own rejected pics is still not allowed and may get you banned. This isn't a chance to just "throw it at the wall and see if something sticks". The rules still apply and not following them can get you banned without warning.
In your shoes, based on what you've shared, I would be very concerned about being convenient and his Ms. Right Now while he's trying to get through grad school.
Like my family used to tell me in spanish "Un clavo saca al otro" Which mean one nail takes out another nail. I say hang out with her for a while. go out party with her, have fun, dont think so much about it. If it does come up and you seem to be getting more serious talk about it then..but one thing I learned dont be afraid of it. DOnt let your other bad experiences hold you back from the beautiful things that life is throwing at you.
Maybe each of you should pick a date, alternate You've had a fun active date, now he wants to spend some time focusing solely on you and not on keeping himself upright or not skating into someone else! Embrace it! The date after can be active again, if he's up for it | commoncrawl |

ChatGPT for subject matter experts – What it does (and what it doesn't)
Unless you have your head firmly ensconced in a sand dune, over the past few months you have been hearing a lot about ChatGPT, the open artificial intelligence tool that can create all varieties of content. As a web strategy professional, I have read and researched a lot. Opinions from people I trust in the industry seem to vary from "this is a fad that can be ignored because it will never write as well as a human" to "this is going to put us all out of business." As is typical of me, my feelings are somewhere in the middle.
So, let's start at the start, how might a professional services organization use ChatGPT or other AI text generators? These tools create content. In my tests of the ChatGPT, I was surprised to realize that it not only could intelligently derive content on a variety of topics, but it could also do so in the form I requested. So, for example, I tested out phrases such as "write a blog about accessibility for government contractors", "create landing page text to promote tax services for a CPA", and "write an Instagram Post for a resume coach". In each case, it was able to provide an informative reply that nicely fit the length and desired structure of the request.
What ChatGPT did well
Creating an initial draft – There isn't much in content writing that is more painful than a blinking cursor on a blank page. ChatGPT helps you avoid that. With a directed query you have a first draft done and dusted within seconds of putting in a request.
Ideation – Perhaps what impressed me most about the ChatGPT tool was just how far it got in creating not just the text but the actual concepts underlying the message. When I asked it to write a blog about "best practices for creating a color palette", it provided a list that detailed the basic concepts of color theory. The breakdown of information and layout was spot on.
What ChatGPT did poorly
Write a compelling copy – The only way to describe the writing style of ChatGPT is that it sounds precisely how you think a computer would write. It is overdone and not enjoyable to read. It might get the information across, but it doesn't do so in a way that is compelling.
Capture voice – An important aspect of marketing writing is "voice". Every client with whom we work has a distinctive voice that we write into the content. For instance, in the case of the writing we do for our own brand, Spring Insight, it has a tendency to be sharp witted and a bit snarky. For one of our CPA clients, it is informative and just a little bit fun. For our general contractor client, it is buttoned up, but still approachable. We put a lot of work into getting that voice written into the content. Simply put, content from our clients should sound like our clients. My efforts to get ChatGPT to write a voice into the text were wholly unsuccessful. The types of changes required to get those changes in are simply too nuanced to be done by a non human.
Write sharp text – Related to the points above but just a bit different is the fact that the text is anything but sharp. When I describe the text produced by ChatGPT, the word I keep coming back to is "bloviated". Everything reads a bit like it was written by 10th grader that was told they had a set word count they needed to hit and didn't have the content to hit that number.
Reflect your specialized knowledge – The beauty of an AI text generator is that it is drawing against a pool of general knowledge to create content. Want to create a "best practices" blog? ChatGPT is your gal. But, if your goal is to promote your approach, your 11 secret herbs and spices, ChatGPT is not going to do that. (Nor, I add, will it likely give you a blog with a KFC chicken reference).
How I see this fitting into a small businesses marketing toolbox
So, having played with AI text generators for a bit now, I am ready to give you my verdict on the utility of it for subject matter experts. Personally, I would be lying to you if I said I wouldn't use it in the future. It is a great tool for getting a piece of content started. Going from nothing to a full page of text is frankly, not only exhilarating, but a huge time saver.
That said, you will NEVER see a piece of unedited content written for this website, or any other website we manage, that was written by ChatGPT.
If you have the time, patience, and capability to heavily edit content to whip it into what you want, ChatGPT really is an amazing tool to jumpstart the process of writing a longer form piece of content.
Ready to have content that doesn't read like it was written by a computer? At Spring Insight, we create compelling content for subject matter experts that is part of a comprehensive digital marketing strategies (particularly professional service providers). We custom create marketing plans that meet the needs of our clients and help them better reach their potential clients. Let's set up a time to discuss your marketing needs. | commoncrawl |

Lalit Modi has received 16 showcause notices from the enforcement directorate (ED) for alleged violations of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA). Of these, 15 were issued under the UPA government and one was issued by the current regime in January 2015. Eleven of these notices were issued in February 2011 and came in the matter of various transactions that were executed in the process of organising the second edition of the Indian Premier League in South Africa. Modi has put all these notices and his responses to these on his website lalitmodi.com. Business Standard takes a closer look at these.
IPL - 2 in South Africa
Due to the general elections in 2009, the Indian government refused permission for the tournament to be held in India citing security issues. However, IPL led by Modi quickly roped in Cricket South Africa (CSA), the BCCI's counterpart in the African nation, to conduct the tournament. BCCI and CSA inked an agreement on March 30, 2009 and floated an entity called IPL (SA) Pty Ltd. ED has found that this entity did not render any service or engaged in any trade and was floated for the purpose of opening a bank account in that country. It was acting as an offshore account of BCCI by receiving all payments and settling dues. The ED has found that this entity and its various actions including opening bank accounts and transactions therein to be violative of FEMA as none of these had the approval of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Three of these eleven showcauses relate to IPL ( SA) Pty Ltd. Seven show causes relate to BCCI's transactions with CSA itself, two which relate irregular transactions conducted in Exchange Earners foreign currency (EEFC) accounts of BCCI. The eleventh show cause relates to payment of Rs 231 crore made to various people in South Africa during the tournament. The total value of these 11 show cause notices amount to Rs 1317 crore. All these 11 notices are addressed to eight respondents. Apart from Modi and BCCI, Shashank Manohar, then President, BCCI; N Srinivasan, then Secretary BCCI; MP Pandove, treasurer, BCCI; Ratnakar Shetty, CEO, BCCI; Prasanna Kannan, manager, IPL; Sunder Raman, COO, IPL, are also addressed.
One showcause was on hiring the international sports management agency IMG. Modi had taken the help of IMG while the tournament was still in the conceptual stage. The MOU between IMG and BCCI was inked as early as September 2007 and there were subsequent agreements in 2009 and 2010. ED has found irregularities 12 payments totaling Rs 88.48 crore made to IMG between May 24, 2008 and November 12, 2010. Five these remittances were in US dollar while others were in GBP. BCCI, Modi, Srinivasan, Pandove, State Bank of Travancore and its Chief manager are respondents.
Guarantees to foreign players
IPL gave guarantees to foreign players taking part in the tournament of a certain base fee, retainer fee and player's fee. These guarantees would be invoked by players as and when these players fail to get picked by teams in the player auctions. ED has that such guarantee totaling Rs 105.94 crore was allegedly given without any general or specific permission from RBI. Niranjan Shah, then Secretary of BCCI is the third respondent in this case beside Modi and BCCI.
Telecast rights, etc
Two notices issued in August 2012 relate to deposits received by BCCI from firms based in UK and Singapore. BCCI allegedly received performance deposits of Rs 20 crore and Rs 40 crore for grant of 'media rights' from Emerging Media (IPL) UK and MSM Satellite Singapore, respectively. ED says these were illegal as RBI permission was not acquired. BCCI, Shah and Srinivasan are co-respondents. The third one, which came in January 2015, was BCCI's dealing with the broadcaster Sony and World Services Group (WSG). ED alleged that the deal between BCCI, MSM Satellite and WSG which provided for a 'facilitation fee' of Rs 425 crore was in nature of "entering into a financial transaction in India as consideration for creation of assets outside India" and violated FEMA. The complaint was against BCCI, Modi, Srinivasan, Sundar Raman and several executives of WSG and MSM.
Modi's defence
Most BCCI office bearers including Srinivasan, Shah and executives of various private firms have appeared before ED and their submissions have been recorded and taken into account in these show cause notices. Modi himself has submitted his responses through his Mumbai-based law firm Wadia, Ghandy & co. Modi's defence is on the lines that in each of these show cause notices, he was being charged under section 42(1) of the act, which related to vicarious liability. He has contended in his responses that he was not individually responsible but its BCCI and its committees and councils that took these decisions collectively. He has also alleged that despite his several requests, he was not allowed inspection of documents and replies of other respondents. Reports have said that ED has concluded its adjudication process on these notices and is likely to issue penalty notices soon.

As we're all quite aware, the much-anticipated Mighty No. 9 released this week, and, well, it's been kind of a mess. The review scores are middling, it's been raked over the coals all across YouTube and Twitch streams, and everybody who thinks they can make a quick grab for nerd attention by hopping on the trainwreck du jour has been making half-assed (and sometimes shockingly misinformed) digs at the game since its release.
But here's the thing: there's a lot more to MN9's problems than just some angry yellman screaming about how Keiji Inafune scammed people out of four million dollars. I'm not trying to say "you shouldn't be let down by MN9," because it's not my right to police your personal feelings. But I do think it's important that people understand that there's a lot to take into account when thinking and talking about this game. There are countless valuable lessons to learn here: about how games are made (and why they sometimes don't live up to expectations), of keeping hype in check, and why putting money up for anything sight-unseen is a risk you really need to consider carefully.
Perhaps the biggest misconception is that Mighty No. 9's particular failings are somehow unique to this particular project. This is absolutely not the case.
This is a situation that happens behind closed doors all the time
Most of the anger towards MN9 comes from the fact that it was visible from a very early stage in its life. Most developers would pitch a project like MN9 to a publisher or other private funding source, and if they bit, they'd supply most of the money needed for development in hopes that they'll make a profit. Crowdfunding is different: the "profit" you expect comes not from game sales, but from the end result (and the associated baubles you pledged for) being good. We first saw MN9 during this "pitch" stage, when usually we first see games that have reached a point in development much, much further along. The Kickstarter was the pitch.
Of course, not all products live up to their initial pitch. Every publisher picks up a dud from time to time, some of which seemed like surefire wins when they were being sold on the concept. Sometimes they pick up a pitch, only to later kill it before it even reaches the state in development where it can be shown publicly out of fear that continuing and releasing the game will cause more problems than just axing it. Sometimes development goes pear-shaped well into the game's production (which is, ironically, usually due to their own meddling), and all they can do is try to reduce the damage by fixing things as much as they can and tossing it out onto the market. It's disappointing not just to consumers, but to those who were sold on what they thought was a great game idea. But due to crowdfunding, we get double the disappointment – as backers and as players.
Concept Art is just that – concepts
One of the biggest complaints I've seen is in regards to the art used in the game's initial pitch, and how it doesn't look like the final product at all. Unfortunately, people don't seem to understand that concept art rarely resembles the finished game product: it's meant to convey ideas of what the devs want to do with the game's visuals. When the reality of hardware, budget, and developer limitations set in, things often wind up very different.
Want to see how much can change from the concept art stage to the finished game? Here's an example for you: concept art for Street Fighter II.
How many of the character ideas pictured here do you recognize? Probably not very many – a lot of stuff was heavily reworked as the game's development progressed along.
Want a more recent example? Well, OK then! How about what was basically a concept trailer, the "gameplay" reveal of Bioshock Infinite? Watch it again and see how much stuff shown there didn't make it into the final game.
Mighty No. 9 is a disappointment, not a failure
There are plenty of failed game Kickstarters: I can think of at least a dozen just off the top of my head. These are genuine failures: games people gave money to that never emerged as a finished product. Mighty No. 9, for its many flaws and bugs, at least delivers all of the levels and features that were promised (albeit much later than hoped). This isn't a case where the "finished" game says that the rest of the levels will be available later: you can finish MN9 from beginning to end and take advantage of extra promised features like co-op.
I'm not saying it's "better than nothing" – a disappointing product can be just as bad as one that never existed. But calling MN9 a "failure" seems like a stretch: it did deliver a product, just one a lot of people got far too carried away with hype over. Speaking of which…
Peoples' expectations were far too lofty
There are some really, really great Megaman games. But as a series, Megaman has a lot of ups and downs. Taken as a whole, most of the games are entertaining – but hardly mindblowing – platform action titles. Some of them are even just plain bad. People who invested in the game did so specifically to get a new Megaman-style title, many with the expectations of getting something phenomenal… without taking into account that they were most likely to get an end product that was "pretty good." Which is, coincidentally, what the more positive MN9 reviews out there describe it as.
But still, there's no reason why it can't be as good as the best Megaman games, right? Well…
You can't recapture lightning in a bottle, even with big names attached
This goes along with the point about the Megaman franchise's general lack of consistency. Keiji Inafune might have been involved with some fantastic games in his career, but his best games were very much a perfect storm of a particular era, development team, and market.
For many fans, Megaman 2 is the most treasured game in the franchise, but there were numerous factors that contributed to its quality: factors that would be impossible to reproduce. The original Rockman didn't set the market on fire, but the small development team believed so strongly in the concept and the character that they worked on a sequel in-between other projects – a true passion project. When it came out, the market adored it in spite of the reserved expectations of both Capcom and the dev team. Since there really were no platform games in that style (aside from, well, the original Megaman), players were impressed by things like the stage selection process, the unique weapon-collection system, and the tightly-crafted jump-and-shoot platforming. It was the right game at the right time.
Mighty No. 9's development environment, in contrast, is completely different. Besides Inafune, few of the other Megaman 2 staff was on MN9. Where the MM2 devs only had to answer to their higher-ups at Capcom, there were far more fingers in the MN9 development pie: Comcept, Inti Creates, Digital Development Management, Deep Silver, and (of course) the Kickstarter backers, all of whom likely had their own demands and visions for the project. Team sizes, game budgets, and development time needed have also ballooned tremendously since the Famicom days, as have consumer expectations: After all, the formula Megaman pioneered has inspired numerous other games to follow its lead.
All things considered, expecting MN9 to deliver the same sort of magic and formative gaming experiences of titles like Megaman 2 or even Megaman X seems like the perfect setup to have one's hopes dashed (pun not intended). Of course, the game certainly could have been better than it turned out to be – nobody wants to buy a bad game, or even a mediocre one.1
Nobody wants to work on a bad game, either. But it happens.
People can and do work hard on things that turn out bad (and sometimes they even know that it's bad)
A particularly gross and ridiculous thing I saw someone hopping on the MN9 hate train say was that people who work on something that turns out badly don't deserve respect or sympathy, because if they really worked hard, the game would be good.
That is, quite frankly, a tremendous load of horseshit. People work hard on things that turn out poorly all the damn time, especially in games.
One of my favorite examples of this comes from my pal Dan Amrich's old page about the infamously bad (and never officially released) arcade fighting game Tattoo Assassins. One of the people who worked on the game described how they worked on continuous crunch, all the while knowing the product was substandard. Here are some snippets:
The team was promised $25,000 bonuses and $25 per game manufactured if we could make it to production within 8 months. This was a pretty juicy carrot, and we all hung out our tongues and nodded our heads and began chasing it like fools. Of course, hindsight is 20/20 and all that but I think you will agree that the deadline was ridiculous considering we had no video game experience whatsoever amongst us. During the whole project, we were required to work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week…. If we were late to work, or left early, we would be threatened with having some of our $25,000 bonus docked. The "carrot" had become a big baseball bat we were beaten with almost daily. One guy walked out after having his bonus docked for coming in at noon, and he quit on the spot. The next day he was placated and he came back. I remember this moment vividly–working away at 3:30 a.m. one morning. I was so physically exhausted that I casually leaned over to the garbage can and vomited, after which I went right back to tapping away. My fingers never left the keyboard.
The biggest problem at this point was that we were all completely burned out. We knew the game was crap, and that we were no longer capable of fixing it… we no longer cared about the money–our only true reward for finishing up was that we wouldn't have to work on it anymore… New games like Primal Rage and Killer Instinct came out, and they blew Tattoo Assassins away. We resisted violently any attempt to change the game to make it better, because that would mean we would be working on it longer–I've since read about this attitude being common in projects under high pressure. The artists were hoping that the programmers would come up with some new game play feature to make the game sell regardless of the art. The programmers were hoping that the artists would miraculously beautify things so that the game would sell regardless of the game play. One programmer stopped working almost entirely in the hopes of getting fired–he had signed a three year contract and would have to be paid off in a huge way if he got fired.
There are plenty of stories like this in the game industry, but we don't hear them very often due to NDAs and the stupid idea that crunch is a "natural" part of development. The comment this poor soul made about people losing their passion in big, high-pressure jobs – which, given the whole Kickstarter thing, Mighty No. 9 absolutely was – especially rings true.
Of course, I'm not saying that we should give bad games a free pass because people worked hard on them. I'm also not saying we shouldn't point out very clear incompetence when it's present – some people really should not be trying to make games. We do, however, need to recognize that sometimes good people get stuck in development quagmires that are miserable for everyone involved. That leads us to our next fact…
We rarely ever hear what went wrong with games that failed to meet expectations
Odds are that we'll never hear the rationale behind many of the decisions made during MN9's development, even the ones that, in hindsight, resulted in the game being a disappointing product.
This is just human nature. People love to talk about their successes and want to downplay their failures. This is even more of a factor when publishers and corporations are involved: they'd rather sweep stuff that didn't meet expectations under the rug and move on to hyping their next thing. Stories from developers "in the trenches" like the one above rarely come out, and if they do, it's usually anonymous: workers have NDAs to worry about and are reluctant to burn bridges in a very connected industry – even if the blame for why a project turned out badly can be placed on specific individuals.
As consumers, it's extremely frustrating, and even more so for someone like me who really wants to dig into why these things happen. In fact, there's another disappointing retro-revival that released a few years ago which I've been trying to investigate in terms of "why did this turn into a trainwreck?" I know a few folks who were heavily involved with said game, and they still can't talk about it, even years after the fact.
But it's also important on and industry level that postmortems on why and how products failed get out there. There have been a few talks at places like GDC that go into mistakes developers and publishers have made, but compared to the talks dissecting games that hit their mark, they're still relatively uncommon.2 I think it's incredibly important that we talk about development failure, because then how else are we going to keep other people from making the same errors, or prevent poor, naive artists and programmers from getting sucked into toxic companies and projects when all the signs are there?
So, with all that in mind, one question lingers: how do we avoid further crowdfunding disappointment? Well, I have one big piece of advice.
Never, ever back a crowdfunding project for more than you would be willing to lose if it fails or disappoints
This goes for any and all crowdfunding efforts. I don't care how big the names attached to the project are, how nice the trinkets that come with higher backing tiers sound – you must always be prepared for the potential of being let down, and for having that letdown sting even harder because you put up your cash upfront. Sure, you might get a cool limited edition goodie if you pledge $150 rather than $30, but will that even matter if the game turns out to be mediocre?
Research the pitch. Look at the track records of the people involved. Delve into the fine print. If there's a demo available, download it and give it a whirl – it's usually a good sign that the people asking for money already have the passion and vision to see it through. Don't feel bad to say "no" for any reason.
Also, if anyone is outright attempting to pressure or shame you into crowdfunding something you don't feel comfortable backing, they're awful and deserve to be ignored. (They're also likely setting themselves up for massive disappointment down the line.)
So in the end, Mighty No. 9 probably isn't going to be the franchise-starter that the companies involved dreamed it would be. Honestly, it probably won't even remain the butt of internet jokes for very long once the next big AAA game turns out to be a stunning mess. But it should be something we remember going forward. We have to understand that sometimes, and for complex reasons we may never fully comprehend, things in gaming just don't turn out like we hope they will.

This is a nicely detailed recipe for making crunchwraps at home when you don't feel like making a Taco Bell run. I'd suggest using tostada shells rather than the corn tortillas since they're already crispy and it eliminates the need to bake the tortillas. I like the idea of having the extra flour tortilla pieces handy to fill any gaps, though I'd also consider just using a second tostada for some extra crunch. Love making these!

Alexander Kristoff fights to huge sprint victory after nightmare stage one of Tour de France 2020
Awful weather battered the peloton and caused dozens of crashes throughout the opening day
Alexander Kristoff fought hard to a huge sprint victory on stage one of the Tour de France 2020, after a nightmare day for the peloton.
The skies poured down on riders for the opening day of racing around Nice, with countless riders hitting the tarmac in wet and treacherous conditions.
But after the peloton decided to neutralise the middle section of the race, the sprint teams took on the charge in the closing kilometres.
Into the final kilometre the sprint favourites were still at the front of the bunch, with Sam Bennett (Deceuninck - Quick-Step) the favourite for the win.
As the sprint opened up, Bennett was late to jump as Cees Bol (Sunweb) looked dangerous and hit the front of the race.
Bol faded rapidly as Kristoff (UAE Team Emirates) fired past on the right hand side of the road, with world champion Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo) close behind.
Kristoff's victory means he takes the race lead for stage two and will wear the first yellow jersey of his career.
How it happened
The first stage of the 2020 Tour de France looked to be an unpredictable day of racing, covering a lumpy 156km starting and finishing in Nice.
Riders would set off from the famous Promenade des Anglais on the coast and head inland to take on a challenging climb multiple times before finishing back on the seafront.
The major climb of the day was the category three Cote de Rimiez (5.7km-long at 5.1 per cent) which appeared twice at 48km and again at 100km.
After the second ascent of the climb, the peloton would continue up to Aspremont then on to another crest at Levens before the rapid descent back down to sea level, which ended at 129km.
Then it was a 30km flat-out downhill run to the finish line, which was a pure drag race to the line.
Before the stage there were questions about which sprinters would make it over the climbs with the legs to contest the finish, but as the heavens the discussion turned to which riders would make it through the day without crashing.
As soon as the flag dropped the action started as three riders attacked and were instantly allowed to maintain a gap, as Michael Schar (CCC Team), Fabian Grellier and Cyril Gautier made up the day's breakaway.
That trio maxxed out their advantage at around three minutes before the peloton began to reel them back.
Over the next 100km of racing, the skies clouded over and heavy rain began to batter the peloton and made the roads treacherously slick.
Amongst those caught in crashes were Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck - Quick-Step), Nairo Quintana (Arkea-Samsic) and Pavel Sivakov (Ineos Grenadiers) who crashed multiple times while trying to rejoin the peloton. Countless others also fell in the racing.

Eventually the breakaway trio were all swept up by the bunch with just under 60km left to the line, as the main body of riders decided to cruise the middle section of the race to avoid further crashes
On the final descent from Levens, Tony Martin (Jumbo-Visma) gestured to slow and the race was unofficially neutralised by the riders, that is until Astana opted to up the pace and string out the race, which ended abruptly when Miguel Ángel López lost the wheel on a corner, kept the bike upright but went wide on a turn and hit a road sign headfirst.
López was uninjured by the crash resulted in some stern words from Jumbo-Visma towards the Astana riders.
The race didn't fire up again until inside 20km, when the sprint teams decided to up the pace on the flats heading back towards the coast, with Deceuninck, Jumbo-Visma and NTT Pro Cycling taking on the work to set up the sprint.
At exactly the 3km mark, a huge crash blew up around half way through the peloton which brought down the likes of Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ) and multiple others.
Shortly before the crash the organisers had announced that GC times will automatically be taken from the 3km mark however, so no overall contenders lost time in the fall.
Into the final kilometre Bennett and Quick-Step were too far back and had to make up a lot of ground, as Trek-Segafredo led the bunch for the world champion.
Quick-Step then hit the front with just over 200m from the line on the left of the road, but it was Cees Bol who got the best early sprint and went to the front.
Bol didn't have the legs however, as Kristoff then launched his move and powered clear with Pedersen left to take second, while Bol held on for third.
Kristoff now moves into the race lead and takes the first yellow jersey of his career.
The Tour de France 2020 continues on stage two with a big day of climbing around Nice, with 186km of racing including two first category climbs, a second category climb and a final uncategorised ramp 20km from the line.

Abstract: Globalisation is increasing the rate and complexity of trade connections between countries. This increasing network of interactions, in hand with the movement of both people and goods, puts countries at risk of invasive pests and diseases, constraining their capacity to protect economic, ecological, and social livelihood. Tackling the increasing influx of invasive pests and pathogens requires the use of biosecurity measures within diverse methodologies used to detect, eradicate, and minimize the inherent risks of these unwanted species.

Tel Aviv University's astounding "quantum levitation" demonstration
October 23, 2011
Maglev trains have been in development since before Luke Skywalker drove his first Land Speeder but, like personal rocket packs, the idea of levitating transport is taking a while to catch on. While this "quantum levitation" demonstration shown by the superconductivity group at Tel Aviv University at the 2011 Association of Science - Technology Centers' (ASTC) annual conference in Baltimore doesn't mean we'll all be floating to work anytime soon, it does remind us of the amazing potential of this kind of technology.
Lead by Prof. Guy Deutscher, the Tel Aviv University team has been experimenting with superconductors to produce "quantum trapping" and "quantum levitation" shown in the ATSC video below.
The experiment uses a crystal sapphire wafer 500 microns wide coated in a yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO) ceramic. This "puck" is then cooled below -185ºC (-301ºF) using liquid nitrogen at which point it becomes a superconductor, meaning it's able to conduct electricity without energy loss or resistance.
A defining characteristic of a superconductor (known as the Meissner effect) is that when subjected to a magnetic field it will try to expel a magnetic flux from its core.
As the University's Quantum Levitation website explains:
"Quantum physics tells us that the magnetic field penetrates into the superconductor in the form of discrete flux tubes. The superconductor strongly pins these tubes, causing it to float in midair. This effect is called 'quantum levitation'."
It is this process that enables the sapphire wafer to become locked in suspension above a magnetic surface and travel in mid-air in an almost perpetual motion.
That is ridiculous .....!! It almost makes me sick with excitement. Strange I know ...T.A. Nasir
Holly cow...this is amazing....future flying cars...Michael Carrasco
The world truly needs flying beer delivery trucks! Interesting effect though. It took very little effort to change it\'s position though, so there is no apparent lifting effect, more of a holding effect.kellory
Wow...I have to admit...this is pretty amazing!Ed
What\'s so new about this? Levitation by Meissner Effect has been demonstrated much the same way for a long time now.Gadgeteer
Being able to lock the superconductor is cool, but I don\'t know if it would actually be useful for levitation on a large scale. Can this support much downward force before coasting downward.Charles Bosse
Maw-Kuen Wu working from Georg Bednorz and Karl Muller's discovery made a yttrium barium copper oxide superconductor in 1987 that worked at liquid nitrogen temperatures. It is easy to duplicate, and a few engineers and I did the same in our laboratory the following year. We cooled the YBCO puck in LN2 and floated magnets above it. Why did it take these guys 20 years to duplicate the experiment? All you need are some basic materials, a huge press and a kiln.PizzaEater
Since it will not support much wieght (since it is so easy to shift position) the only use I can see for this right now would be for a navigation system in crowed locations like a train yard, or computer controlled parking stackers. How much super conductor would be needed to float a car or a bus? How much does the effect change with distance? Other than use as a frictionless bearing, what other use does this have?kellory
How can he touch the puck if it is -185ºC ?Ahmet Yüzügüler
Amazing! How can you cool that \"puck\" without subjecting it to liquid nitrogen is the trick. If you can do that then flying cars around the earth\'s magnetic field would be a reality in the future and you won\'t be needing gasoline for it. Although there is already existing prototype made by Urban in Israel about a levitating vehicle but does not use this method.Michelene Santos
Run it in a vacuum and/or gift-wrap it with a space blanket to reflect heat. Freezing the thing is not a practical way of achieving superconductivity.Ethan Brush | commoncrawl |

How Looking to Animals Can Improve Human Medicine
In a new book, UCLA cardiologist Barbara Natterson-Horowitz reminds us that humans are animals too. Now, if only other doctors could think that way
- By Megan Gambino
- Smithsonian.com, August 28, 2012, Subscribe
If humans and animals experience some of the same injuries, diseases and disorders (and they do), then why don't doctors more often seek the advice of veterinarians and animal experts?
It is a good question, and one that Barbara Natterson-Horowitz asks in her new book, Zoobiquity, co-authored by Kathryn Bowers.
A cardiologist at the UCLA Medical Center, Natterson-Horowitz serves on the medical advisory board of the Los Angeles Zoo. In this role, she is occasionally called on to help examine chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans and other exotic animals with heart conditions. When Cookie, a lioness at the Zoo, for instance, developed pericardial tamponade, or a build-up of fluid in the sac around its heart, Natterson-Horowitz helped a team of veterinarians, veterinary surgeons and cardiothoracic anesthesiologists drain it. She used the same procedure she would for a human patient.
According to the cardiologist, the fact that human doctors do not reciprocate by seeking the expertise of veterinarians and comparing their patients' cases with those of animals is a "major blind spot."
"Engineers already seek inspiration from the natural world, a field called biomimetics," says Natterson-Horowitz. "Now it's medicine's turn."
What is zoobiquity?
Zoobiquity is the fusion of evolutionary biology and veterinary science with human medicine. Kathyrn Bowers (my co-author) and I are bringing together two cultures, animal medicine and human medicine, so we wanted to coin a word that brought together two cultures. We brought together zo, which is a Greek word for "animal" and ubique, which is Latin for "everywhere."
When did it first become apparent to you that doctors and veterinarians should work together?
In 2004, I began spending time with veterinarians on rounds at Los Angeles Zoo, watching them take care of their patients, and I realized that there is a parallel universe of medical practice, of which many physicians are fairly unaware. That led to a very broad, open-minded question about how extensive the overlaps are in the critical syndromes of animals and humans.
So, what are some of those afflictions that humans and other animals have in common?
It is very hard to surprise me anymore, because I pretty much assume that nothing is uniquely human. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the heart muscle problem that sometimes sadly results in the death of a high school athlete, occurs in a number of animal species. Similarly, some exotic animals seem to be predisposed to breast cancer. Jaguars, tigers and lions seem to have an elevated incidence of breast cancer and ovarian cancer.
We were really interested in obesity. Companion animals are getting fatter. Some felines are put on a high protein, low carb diet that veterinarians call the "Catkins" diet. Obese dogs occasionally get liposuction, and in some zoos around the country, animals are put on a Weight Watchers points-type system. Maybe it's less surprising that the animals under our care are getting heavier, because we are as humans. But we asked, do wild animals get fat? We learned a lot about some animal populations that do indeed seem to be getting fatter, but also the natural cycle of fattening and thinning in the wild. There are many takeaways for human patients who are struggling with weight.
We looked at substance seeking or addiction. Do animals ever seek substances to alter their sensory states [much like humans seek out drugs or alcohol]? Bighorn sheep will scale very steep cliffs to get access to this psychoactive lichen that grows on the rocks. They grind down their teeth to get it onto their gums. Waxwing birds are notorious for ingesting fermented berries and flying while intoxicated. Then, some domestic dogs seek out wild toads to lick the hallucinogenic chemicals off their skin.
We are more alike than we sometimes think, right?
When I was going through my education, undergraduate and graduate school and med school, we were given very stern warnings against the tantalizing pull to anthropomorphize. Back then, if you saw a behavior or a facial expression on an animal and gave it a human characteristic you risked being viewed as unscientific and sentimental. You are just projecting.
But that is already a few decades ago, and there have been a lot of advances in neuroscience, molecular biology and comparative genomics. It is time that we update that view. I think we haven't embraced our animal natures enough. When we do see similarities, we need to maintain scientific skepticism, of course. But we can also expand our view a little bit and consider what is anthropomorphizing and what might actually be recognizing a shared evolutionary legacy.

The Vet school at the Univ of Missouri (Columbia campus) is working on a biological replacement knee with the goal being its use in humans. Here is an article from this spring about its use in dogs. They are also trying the new knee in horses. http://www.cvm.missouri.edu/news/cook_knee_2006.htm Here is an article from the alumni magazine, Mizzou, with several links to other ways the Medical and Veterinary Schools are cooperating. The key phrase is: One Health, One Medicine http://mizzoumagarchives.missouri.edu/2011-Spring/features/one-health/index.php I would also note that in treating humans, inspection and observation are key functions performed by nurses and aides. I am the proud mother of a nursing student.

CMS conditions database web application service
10.1088/1742-6596/219/7/072048
The web application service is part of the condition database system of the CMS experiment.The application server is built upon condition python API in the CMS offline software framework and serves applications and users not involved in the event-processing.The main client of the application server is the condition database web GUI, which currently exposes three main services: the Tag Browser, the Global Tag, the Historic Chart condition date in terms of their version (TAG) and the interval of validity (IOV).The global tag component is used by physicists to inspect the organization of the tags in a given data taking or data production, while production managers use the web service to produce such tag hierarchy. The History chart plotting service creates dynamic summary and distribution charts of the payload data in the database. Fast graphical overview of different information greatly contributes in monitoring and validating the calibration data stored in the condition database.
Introduction
In order to reconstruct the physical events of CMS experiment [1], the physicists use quantities not changing from event to event and for that reason they are called Not-Event Data. The Not-Event Data, also called Condition Data, produced by CMS detector, are stored in the CMS condition database and can be roughly divided in three groups:
• Configuration data: the data needed to bring the detector in running mode; • Detector state data: the data from any detector subsystem describing its state; • Calibration data: the data describing the calibration and alignment of the single pieces of different subdetector.
Calibration, Configuration and Detector state data, coming from the sub-detectors' computers, from network devices and from different sources, are packed as C++ objects and moved to the Online condition database, hence using ORACLE streaming to the Offline condition database called ORCOFF (Offline Reconstruction Condition DB Offiline subset), which is the main condition database for the CMS T0 (tier 0) [2].
Each conditions data, which is stored in the offline database as POOL-ORA 1 objects, is also called payload object. Each payload object is indexed by its interval of validity (IOV), while the payload objects themselves do not contain any time validity related information. A IOV sequence can be indexed with another metadata information, know as TAG, which is a humanreadable label describing the version of condition data. The IOV index and the TAGs can be deleted and recreated since it is independent of the data object it points to.
When processing large quantity of calibration/alignment data, the production manager needs to organize collections of IOV TAGs coming from different data sources, i.e. databases. In order to help the user to manage these collections of IOV and TAGs the concept of Global TAGs was introduced. It defines the scope of a collection of basic IOV TAGs. An ensemble of Global TAGs can be organized in a hierarchy. Typically Global TAGs and the TAG hierarchy are used by the production manager to organize collections of basic IOV TAGs collected from different sources.
In this scenario, the CMS condition database web application server is used for back-end purpose to serve application and users for accessing, monitoring and handling these objects.
The main client of this application server is the condition database web GUI that exposes three main services: IOV Tag browsing, Global tag management and Historical data quality monitoring.
The organization of this paper is the following: In section 2 the architecture of this web application service is described , in the following three sections, the IOV Tag Browsing, Global Tag Management and the History Data Quality Monitoring are described; finally last section sums up the conclusions.
Architecture of CMS conditions database web application service
The architecture of CMS conditions database web application service can be designed in two distinct components: the CMS Web Frontend and the Web CondDb Backend which is made of the CMS Web Interface and the CMS Application Server ( fig. 1).
Web CondDB Backend
The Web CondDB Backend consists of two layers: the web service and the application server. The web service forwards the user HTTP requests to the application server.
All the web services rely heavily on backend databases Oracle (Security database and Conditions databases) and layers CMSSW (CondCore), POOL, PyCoral 2 and CherryPy 3 . Database access is made using POOL and PyCoral that generate SQL queries from CMSSW C++ objects [4].
The HTTP request goes through Application server that converts the HTTP request in a script run by CMSSW framework and sends that to the oracle server. The results go back to the Web Service in the reverse direction, into an HTTP formatted stream. Finally the Web Service manages the HTTP response displaying the data to the end-users in required format (lists, tables or chart reports).
The application server and the web service may be deployed on different hosts. They are deployed with distinct RPM packages 4 .
CMS Web Interface
The design of the CMS Web Interface is based on a the central class which is called "Controller " from which these three web service derive from.
The webtools framework relies on a very simple plug-in mechanism, that allows a separate development of the components, without any central component list.
When the application server is run, the framework will look up in each entry of python path for directories called respectively "Modules", "Controllers" or "Applications". If any is found it will attempt to (python) import every file in those directory.
The CMS Web Interface is completely implemented in python. The reason of web development using python was driven by strong support for integration with other languages and tools coming with extensive standard libraries. Moreover Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has modules, classes, exceptions, high level dynamic data types, and dynamic typing 5 . Python had a great set of tools to accommodate our tasks. Among a large number of possibilities we choose the following components:
• CherryPy, an object-oriented HTTP framework in Python, with flexible configuration and extension. • Cheetah template framework 6 , written in python for presentation layer of web pages. 2 The PyCoral package provides a python module named coral, exposing the user-level interfaces of CORAL in a native python style. Its implementation is based on the C++ CORAL libraries. 3 CherryPy: a pythonic, object-oriented HTTP framework. 4 An RPM package is a single file containing all of the components necessary to install one feature, such as a software application, a group of related utilities, a driver, or a set or fonts or artwork files. 5 A dynamic type system is a mechanism by which a compiler generates code to keep track of the sort of data (incidentally still called "type") used by the program. 6 Cheetah is an open source template engine and code generation tool • Python decorator 7 for Authentication and Authorisation. This python-decorator can be used to create a web site that behaves differently according to whether a user is authorized or not, and according to his/her role.The task that can be performed are: -Authentication; it means a user is known to the Security database (e.g. have a hypernews account, or are listed in SiteDB for some other reason) -Authorisation; it means that a given user is known to the database and has some role associated to a group or site (for example a Production Operator in the PRODREQUEST region, or the Data Manager). • Boost-Python, a C++ library which enables seamless interoperability between C++ and the Python programming language. • PyOFC2 (Python Open Flash Chart 2), a python library to generate JSON 8 data that can be consumed by Adobe Flash Player 9 Charts.
The front-end of this python-based framework is a GUI that implements technologies, like :
• Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) 10 technologies makes web page flexible, user friendly and most important easy to develop and change the design of the web page. so that a user feels comfortable with a standard style for all web pages. • Cache technologies for instant querying to Data Base if up-to-date data are not needed.
• Yahoo Interface Library YUI; a set of utilities and controls, written in JavaScript, for building richly interactive web applications using techniques such as DOM scripting, DHTML; where possible these are reused to provide identical functionality across different components, so that a user learns a single interface to all web tools. • jQuery a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies event handling, animating, and Ajaj interactions for rapid web development. One example among many Javascript Library is (Javascript validation) used to assist the users to fill the forms out correctly and simplify the process of filling out.
Application Server
The Application Server is a linux daemon that delivers conditions database query results from CondCore software (selectively packaged CMSSW) on request.
The back-end of this python-based framework contains a python plug-in binding a template class that wraps the condition objects and declare a set of methods to be used to inspect that objects. This approach has several advantages, such as being independent from schema changes, providing a common syntax and behaviour to inspect payload class using generic code and being transparent to the DB back-end.
In the following paragraphs, we will describe the web services that can exploit, independently, the application server to inspect the Condition Objects through HTTP requests.
IOV TAG Browsing Service
The IOV TAG Browsing Service allows to discover the version (TAG) and the interval of validity (IOV) of each of set of conditions. 7 A Python decorator is a specific change to the Python syntax that allows us to more conveniently alter functions and methods (and possibly classes in a future version). 8 JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. 9 Adobe Flash Player is the standard for delivering high-impact, rich Web content. Designs, animation, and application user interfaces are deployed immediately across all browsers and platforms, attracting and engaging users with a rich Web experience. 10 Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a simple mechanism for adding style (e.g. fonts, colours, spacing) to Web documents. A basic IOV tag is produced by calibration or alignment process which uniquely identifies an IOV sequence. It is the lowest level entry point to retrieve time-dependent data from the database. It is stored together with the data which can be used directly to retrieve calibration and alignment data. The IOV tag concept is explained here. In the tag DB, a collection of basic IOV tags is stored in the tag inventory. Each entry in the basic tag inventory contains the following summary information: basic tag name, source database(in the format of connection string), EventSetup record name, payload object name, record run time label name, timetype of the record. This service allows a user to view the tags and Interval of Validity (IOV) information concerning the conditions data; it is like a web interface to CMSSW command line tools; effectively a web interface to CMSSW command line tools. The IOV Tag Browsing Service consists of 4 parts:
• The menu header ; this menu is common to all web service in CMS Condition Database and allows to navigate with the same style between all web services. The tabs for the condition database service (CondDB) are blue, while the other CMS services are greyed out (Figure2).
Figure 2. Horizontal tab menu used to navigate between different web service
• CondDB::IOV tag management section; it is a menu-driven approach which guides users through their selection of tag: e.g. Task (Detector), Service (service name used to connect to the remote database), Schema (account's database). To the user is given the possibility to choose to read data directly from ORACLE database or via Frontier-cache [5] that provides high performance data access, since given object may be used by thousands of users and by decree, data in condition IOV cannot change. So caching such information provides significant performance gains (Figure 3). • Available tags section; it allows a user to browse condition data in terms of IOV and the version (TAG). In details, clicking on a TAG will allow user to view IOV in terms of two integer values: since and till (Figure 4). • Export selected data with optional parameters section; it allows users to export the selected data from production databases to private SQLite file filtering the data, choosing the TAG name and the IOV in the form of two integers (the first since and the last till). ( Figure 5).
Global Tag Management Service
The global tag component is used by physicists to inspect the organization of the tags in a given data taking or data production while production managers use the web service to produce such tag hierarchy. The GUI6 allows to select database account and for each database account it is possible to browse three section.
• Tree list: It shows the list of tag trees for the selected account.
• Tag inventory: it shows IOV tags for a selected account in a Select multiple form field with an internal scroll bar. • Tag tree: it can be used in two ways: to select a tag tree and browse it and for the production managers to edit the tag tree and its node. In details, the actions that production managers can perform are: add child node, edit node label, delete node, delete node with children, view TAG info and view IOV info.
History Data Quality Monitoring service
History DQM is designed to follow the time evolution of relevant quantities monitored by the DQM tasks. The service creates dynamic summaries and distribution charts of these quantities stored as condition objects. This tool provides the monitoring monitoring of the detector performance with reference to time and gives prompt feedback about the stability of data taking.
Architecture and design of the history DQM tool
The main steps of history DQM are sketched on Figure 7:
• extraction of summary information from DQM and population of the condition database;
• extraction of the summary information from the condition database;
• creation and visualisation of the trend charts by means of the application service described above. The dynamic web form integrated in the web interface ( fig. 8), guides and aides the user to fill the fields required to get trend charts, checking the consistency of given arguments (e.g. it warns the user if some information is missing or incorrect), and suggesting the quantities available for inspection. For example, it prompts the corresponding mathematical quantities (i) the full collection of timestamps; (ii) the quantities which have been stored in the database; (iii) the corresponding sub-detector regions for which the stored information are available.
Dynamic drop down list helps the user to navigate through all the Subdetector regions into a dynamic menu tree.
As points are concerned (ii) and (iii), each sub detector could have different quantities. These quantities are retrieved by means of python plugins which provide a flexible way to inspect the data stored in database by calling methods that access interfaces supported by CMSSW [6].
Besides the basic retrieval of the summary informations from the database, are the possibility to apply preselection cuts on the stored quantities and to remove undesired entries by mean of black list field.
Trend plots
For the graphics report, a web-based plug-in has been chosen, since it is more efficient and less time consuming than a server-side application like ROOT-CERN 11 .
The ROOT CERN application works well locally, but it is not so good for remote operations like a web server.
As the web-based plug-in chart is concerned, we chose PyOFC2 (Python Open Flash Chart 2) for three reasons:
• it is entirely based on Python, like our web service;
• it can read JSON data source, generally smaller than a XML document, and works faster with it; • as the user moves the mouse over the chart, it displays the values for each line series along vertical tracking line, allowing the users to quickly identify the exact value (run and time).
As an example of chart, the figure 9 shows the average number of tracks in the CMS Tracker as a function of time created during the Cosmic Data taking of CMS in Autumn of 2008. 11 ROOT is an object-oriented program and library developed by CERN and designed for particle physics data analysis.
Conclusion
We discussed the Conditions database web application service, for the CMS experiment, using emerging techniques commonly called web 2.0. The use of standard software, such as Cheetah template and various python modules, makes the system reliable, highly configurable and easily maintainable.
The History-DQM web service has recently been adopted by the CMS DQM System to provide history for both online and offline monitoring during the last Cosmic Data taking of CMS in Autumn of 2008.
In the future these web services will become more sophisticated, incorporating role based views of the production system and more complex queries and plots, supporting the needs of the whole CMS DQM community. The tool must quickly provide access to hundreds of thousands of histograms, and be tuned to each user's needs. The average GUI HTTP response time is around 10 seconds without cache and usually less 1 second with cache, a performance considered acceptable to the practical needs of the experiment.
The development cycle of these web services pointed out the benefits coming from the use of both python and template engine. However since a fast turnaround with user requirements is necessary, especially for a huge collaboration like CMS, their interfaces could have some modification.

Miles Today: 11.0
Mile Marker: 1,855.4
I woke up this morning and caught a quick hitch to the general store. It had a terrible selection, was way over priced, and the showers and laundry "Are for guests only". Thankfully I caught a quick hitch back to the trail from someone staying in one of the cabins. He gave me an apple and a banana too.
I got back on the trail and ran into Jaws and his parents and gave them the banana. Shortly thereafter I ran into Einstein!!! We hiked together for a bit and then I tried to catch up to Cheese. I found him and Cousin Eddie at the next hut. They had some leftover oatmeal I scarffed down before heading back out.
My plan was to get over Mount Washington today, but it is all above tree line in this section and you can't camp on the alpine vegetation. I stopped at Lake of the Clouds hut and secured a work for stay. I can sleep on the floor and get the leftovers the guests don't eat in exchange for doing some dishes. I took a dip in the lake and relaxed with everyone while we waited to work. While we were at the lake we met the interns and an employee at the weather observation tower on top of Mount Washington. It is staffed 24/7. I got the forecast for tomorrow and started laughing. It is the first time I've ever gotten weather DIRECTLY from the source. So cool! Another perfect day.
Update: We had 30 minutes to eat all we could. The food was cold, but it was flavorful and in plentiful volume. I did the dishes with Ghost Hiker, and we definitely earned our free room and board. The staff are super cool, and overall it was a great experience. | commoncrawl |

Does your financial institution have your most current email address? Are they using it? Or are they still relying solely on snail mail? Chances are it's the latter.
Based on my experience, a typical bank or credit union has up-to-date email addresses for less than half their customers when many consumers actually prefer to receive emails over physical mail. In addition to people preferring it, emailing customers as opposed to using physical mail can actually work better. For instance, my family are First Niagara customers, and following the merger, when Key Bank sent three copies of their 90 page conversion kit, they naturally only arrived by snail mail. This was not of much use to either of my daughters, who are off at college. Not to mention the forest in Canada that was leveled to provide the paper. I wonder if Key Bank could have saved a few dollars by using a digital channel?
What is true for service applies equally for sales. Many existing customers are much more likely to read and respond to an email message that was triggered by a life event. But the same fundamental issue exists – your institution simply doesn't have your email address.
How can this be? The reason I hear most frequently is that the customer never provided an email address, or the one provided is out of date. Next I hear that branch or call center staff are too busy to ask for an updated address.
That just doesn't happen with other "trusted advisors." For instance, my accountant sends the attached post card every year prior to tax season. My auto insurance provider asks if my email address has changed every time I call her office. And I receive a meaningful discount on my premium if I allow the firm to communicate electronically with me.
Asking for your customers' email address is not an intrusion. It demonstrates that you are in fact a trusted advisor and that you want to ensure you are able to contact them with important information in the manner they prefer.
With reduced branch volume, shouldn't bankers be looking for opportunities to actually have dialog with their customers? I have to believe that when customers visit or call, the employee has the extra 10 seconds it takes to validate an email address. Bankers aspire to be trusted advisors. Making sure they have valid email addresses is a small step your financial institution should take today. | commoncrawl |

A note about mortgage points: One way to get the best mortgage rates is to pay "points," or upfront interest paid to the bank that secures a lower long-term interest rate on your home loan. One point generally costs 1% of the total loan amount, so paying 1 point on a $200,000 mortgage would add $2,000 in upfront costs.

Objective: Bedside lung ultrasound (LUS) is a noninvasive, readily available imaging modality that can complement clinical evaluation. The Bedside Lung Ultrasound in Emergency (BLUE) protocol has demonstrated a high diagnostic accuracy in patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF). Recently, bedside LUS has been added to the medical training program of our ICU. The aim of this study was to investigate the accuracy of LUS based on the BLUE protocol, when performed by physicians who are not ultrasound experts, to guide the diagnosis of ARF. Methods: Over a one-year period, all spontaneously breathing adult patients consecutively admitted to the ICU for ARF were prospectively included. After training, 4 non-ultrasound experts performed LUS within 20 minutes of patient admission. They were blinded to patient medical history. LUS diagnosis was compared with the final clinical diagnosis made by the ICU team before patients were discharged from the ICU (gold standard). Results: Thirty-seven patients were included in the analysis (mean age, 73.2 ± 14.7 years; APACHE II, 19.2 ± 7.3). LUS diagnosis had a good agreement with the final diagnosis in 84% of patients (overall kappa, 0.81). The most common etiologies for ARF were pneumonia (n = 17) and hemodynamic lung edema (n = 15). The sensitivity and specificity of LUS as measured against the final diagnosis were, respectively, 88% and 90% for pneumonia and 86% and 87% for hemodynamic lung edema. Conclusions: LUS based on the BLUE protocol was reproducible by physicians who are not ultrasound experts and accurate for the diagnosis of pneumonia and hemodynamic lung edema.
Resumo
Objetivo: O ultrassom pulmonar (USP) à beira do leito é uma técnica de imagem não invasiva e prontamente disponível que pode complementar a avaliação clínica. O protocolo Bedside Lung Ultrasound in Emergency (BLUE, ultrassom pulmonar à beira do leito em situações de emergência) demonstrou elevado rendimento diagnóstico em pacientes com insuficiência respiratória aguda (IRpA). Recentemente, um programa de treinamento em USP à beira do leito foi implementado na nossa UTI. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a acurácia do USP baseado no protocolo BLUE, quando realizado por médicos com habilidades básicas em ultrassonografia, para orientar o diagnóstico de IRpA. Métodos: Ao longo de um ano, todos os pacientes adultos consecutivos respirando espontaneamente admitidos na UTI por IRpA foram prospectivamente inclusos. Após treinamento, 4 operadores com habilidades básicas em ultrassonografia realizaram o USP em até 20 minutos após a admissão na UTI, cegados para a história do paciente. Os diagnósticos do USP foram comparados aos diagnósticos da equipe assistente ao final da internação na UTI (padrão-ouro). Resultados: Foram inclusos na análise 37 pacientes (média etária: 73,2 ± 14,7 anos; APACHE II: 19,2 ± 7,3). O diagnóstico do USP demonstrou concordância com o diagnóstico final em 84% dos casos (kappa total: 0,81). As causas mais comuns de IRpA foram pneumonia (n = 17) e edema pulmonar cardiogênico (n = 15). A sensibilidade e a especificidade do USP comparado ao diagnóstico final foram de 88% e 90% para pneumonia e de 86% e 87% para edema pulmonar cardiogênico, respectivamente. Conclusões: O USP baseado no protocolo BLUE foi reproduzível por médicos com habilidades básicas em ultrassonografia e acurado para o diagnóstico de pneumonia e de edema pulmonar cardiogênico.
consecutively admitted to our 23-bed clinicalsurgical ICU for ARF. This research was approved by the institutional ethics committee (Protocol no. 112/2011), which waived the requirement for informed consent.
The inclusion criteria were age ≥ 18 years and admission to the ICU for ARF, defined by one of the following: a respiratory rate ≥ 30 breaths/ min; a PaO 2 ≤ 60 mmHg; an oxygen saturation on room air ≤ 90%, as measured by pulse oximetry; or a carbon dioxide tension (PCO 2 ) ≥ 45 mmHg with an arterial pH ≤ 7.35. The exclusion criteria were having required intubation before admission and/or having a multiple diagnosis or a rare (i.e., frequency < 2%) diagnosis, according to the original protocol. (15)
Study design and LUS assessment
After attending 5 hours of theoretical training and performing 10 supervised LUS examinations, 4 non-ultrasound experts participated in the study. They were blinded to patient medical history and were not involved in diagnostic or therapeutic decisions. All patients were placed in a semirecumbent position and were evaluated with the same curvilinear probe with a range of 3-5 MHz (Toshiba Tosbee ® ; Toshiba, Tokyo, Japan). As a rule, LUS was performed within 20 minutes of admission, by one non-ultrasound expert. Each patient underwent a bedside chest X-ray at admission, which was interpreted by a radiologist unblinded to medical history. The initial clinical evaluation and diagnosis were performed by the physicians responsible for patient care. They were blinded to the LUS results but were aware of the chest X-ray results. The final diagnosis of the episode of ARF made by the ICU team before patients were discharged from the ICU was considered the gold standard. The main diagnoses, including pneumonia, acute hemodynamic lung edema, obstructive lung disease (i.e., decompensated COPD or asthma), and pneumothorax, were evaluated. Patients with a multiple diagnosis or rare diseases were excluded from the analysis, as in the original BLUE protocol study. (15) LUS images were recorded for each of six quadrants in each hemithorax (upper and lower parts of the anterior, lateral, and posterior chest wall, delimited by anterior and posterior axillary lines). (3,15) Each quadrant was classified on the basis of worst findings into categories according
Introduction
Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is a critical condition requiring dynamic evaluation and interventions. Bedside lung ultrasound (LUS) is a noninvasive, readily available imaging modality that can complement physical examination and clinical evaluation. (1,2) The main advantage of bedside LUS is its immediate application to the diagnosis of thoracic disorders. Other advantages include delaying or even avoiding the need for patient transportation to the radiology suite or for radiation exposure and guiding life-saving therapies in extreme emergency. (1, [3][4][5] The use of LUS by emergency physicians, intensivists, and pulmonologists has been reported in many studies. (1,(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10) The appeal for using LUS in ARF patients is evident since LUS can detect lung aeration changes in many life-threatening conditions, such as acute lung edema, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pneumonia, and pneumothorax. (4)(5)(6)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14) Recently, Lichtenstein and colleagues proposed a diagnostic algorithm-the Bedside Lung Ultrasound in Emergency (BLUE) protocol-to guide the diagnosis of severe dyspnea. (15) The authors showed that the diagnostic accuracy of LUS, as measured against the final diagnosis made by the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) team, was 90.5%. Similarly, Silva et al. demonstrated that the diagnostic accuracy of the LUS approach in ARF patients was higher than was that of an initial routine evaluation based on clinical, radiological, and biological data (83% vs. 63%, p < 0.02). (16) Since ultrasound is an operator-dependent imaging modality and bedside LUS is a recently developed tool, the reproducibility of findings obtained by physicians who are not ultrasound experts needs further validation. Indeed, the original BLUE protocol was performed by highly qualified ultrasound experts. (15) Recently, ultrasound training has been added to the medical training program in our ICU. As we were concerned about the accuracy of bedside LUS performed by physicians who are not ultrasound experts, we therefore decided to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of the BLUE protocol for ARF.
Methods
Patients
We conducted a prospective study of all spontaneously breathing adult patients thrombosis was sought using the same probe. A positive finding was the visualization of anatomic echoic intraluminal thrombosis or the absence of compression of femoral or popliteal veins. If there were signs of leg vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism was the diagnosis; otherwise, the normal pattern was suggestive of respiratory dysfunction due to obstructive lung disease (i.e., decompensated COPD or asthma). (3,5,15) The absence of lung sliding combined with the presence of A-lines was suggestive of pneumothorax. However, for this diagnosis, it was necessary to identify the lung point (the point where it is possible to identify both normal lung sliding and its absence). (3,5,15) Also, the identification of a normal anterior pattern associated with the presence of pleural effusion and posterior consolidation (A profile with posterior alveolar syndrome, pleural syndrome, or both) or an anterior or lateral consolidation (C profile) was suggestive of pneumonia. (3,15,16) to the predominant profile (A, B, or C) in each hemithorax, as previously described. (5,15) The A, B, and C profiles were defined as follows ( Figure 1):
• A profile (A-lines): white (hyperechoic) horizontal lines that are static and appear at regular intervals. • B profile (B-lines): hyperechoic vertical artifacts that move in synchrony with the respiratory cycle. • C profile: consolidation image appearing as a tissue structure containing white points consisting of lung parenchyma. To identify normal lung aeration, lung sliding is a key ultrasound finding. It corresponds to the regular movement of the pleural line (described as a shimmering or bright white line) in regular cycles in synchrony with each respiratory movement.
In accordance with the BLUE protocol (Table 1), (15) Adapted from Dexheimer Neto et al. (9) Diagnostic accuracy of the Bedside Lung Ultrasound in Emergency protocol for the diagnosis of acute respiratory failure in spontaneously breathing patients 61 http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1806-37132015000100008
November of 2012 were enrolled in the study. As previously described, 5 patients with rare diagnoses were excluded from the final analysis (2 patients with pulmonary fibrosis, 1 patient with hypersensitivity pneumonitis, 1 with leptospirosis, and 1 with abdominal compartment syndrome). The baseline characteristics of the patients are shown in Table 2.
Of the 37 medical patients, 70% were transferred from the medical ward. The mean hospital length of stay before ICU admission was 7.9 ± 7.7 days. Noninvasive or invasive positivepressure ventilation was required in 92% of the patients ( Table 2). The overall observed mortality was 42%.
According to the final diagnosis, the most common etiology of ARF was pneumonia (n = 17). Fifteen patients were admitted for hemodynamic lung edema, and 4 were admitted for obstructive lung disease. There was only one patient with pulmonary embolism (in this patient, LUS was normal as expected, but it was not possible to identify deep vein thrombosis) and none with pneumothorax. The sensibility, specificity, and predictive values are shown in Table 3. Pulmonary embolism and pneumothorax were not included because the number of patients with these conditions was insufficient to perform diagnostic performance analysis.
The BLUE protocol diagnosis made at admission by physicians who are not ultrasound experts had a perfect agreement with the final diagnosis in 84% of the patients (overall kappa, 0.81). Agreements between the 2 methods were 0.78 and 0.74 for pneumonia and lung edema, respectively.
The diagnostic accuracy of LUS alone was significantly higher than was that of chest X-ray alone (84% vs. 43%; p = 0.01). No significant difference was found between LUS and the standard initial clinical evaluation (84% vs. 65%; p = 0.12).
A B profile characterized by symmetric bilateral B-lines suggested hemodynamic lung edema. (3,9,15) However, B-line predominance without lung sliding could also be suggestive of pneumonia.
The AB profile was characterized by asymmetric findings between the hemithoraces, suggestive of pulmonary infection as the etiology of ARF.
Statistical analysis
Categorical variables are expressed as numbers and percentages, and continuous data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. The diagnostic performance of LUS as measured against each final diagnosis was assessed by calculation of sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values by using a standard formula. The completeness and accuracy of reporting was assessed with the Standards of Reporting of Diagnostic Accuracy checklist. (17) In addition, the level of agreement among observers for the ultrasound findings and the final clinical diagnosis was evaluated with the kappa reliability test: kappa values < 0 indicated less than chance agreement; kappa values of 0.01-0.20 indicated slight agreement; kappa values of 0.21-0.40 indicated fair agreement; kappa values of 0.41-0.60 indicated moderate agreement; kappa values of 0.61-0.80 indicated substantial agreement; and kappa values of 0.81-0.99 indicated almost perfect agreement. (18) McNemar's test was used to compare within-subject diagnostic accuracy between LUS and chest X-ray and between LUS and the initial clinical evaluation. Statistical analysis was performed with IBM-SPSS software, version 16 (IBM Inc., Armonk, NY, USA). All tests were two-tailed, and a p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Forty-two consecutive patients admitted to the ICU for ARF between October of 2011 and which has also been demonstrated for LUS. (19) In most previous studies, a limited number of investigators who were experts in LUS performed the ultrasound examinations. (10,15,16) Lichtenstein et al. reported a sensitivity and a specificity of 97% and 95%, respectively, for hemodynamic lung edema and of 94% and 89%, respectively, for pneumonia. (15) In our study, the values obtained by physicians who are not ultrasound experts, although slightly lower (86% and 87%, respectively, for lung edema, and 88% and 90%, respectively, for pneumonia), are close to those reported by expert physicians. (10,15) This result indicates that the BLUE protocol is feasible and reproducible.
Recently, Silva et al. compared the accuracy of cardiothoracic ultrasound with that of an initial clinical evaluation, as measured against the final diagnosis made by an expert panel, in 78 ARF patients. (16) The authors found that the ultrasound approach was significantly more accurate than was the initial clinical approach (83% vs. 63%, respectively; p < 0.02).This finding indicates that the use of LUS data could have significantly improved the initial diagnosis. (16) Similarly, it has been shown that therapeutic management can be changed directly as a result of information provided by LUS in up to 47% of mechanically ventilated patients. (20) Interestingly, our results show similar accuracy rates, with accuracy being higher for LUS than for the initial clinical evaluation (84% vs. 65%). (16) However, our study was underpowered to find a significant difference.
In this study, LUS accuracy was significantly higher than was that of chest X-ray (84% vs. 43%; p = 0.009). Indeed, bedside LUS has been shown to have superior accuracy when evaluating patients with atelectasis, pneumothorax, pneumonia, or acute respiratory distress syndrome, compared with chest X-ray. (2,4,9,14,21) In an attempt to increase concordance, all patients were evaluated in the same position and with the same probe. There is no recommendation for the duration of LUS training. (22)(23)(24) In the present study, in order to homogenize the interpretation of LUS findings, we arbitrarily
Discussion
The main result of the present study is that bedside LUS performed by physicians who are not ultrasound experts allows the correct diagnosis of the most common causes of ARF (pneumonia and hemodynamic lung edema) with good sensitivity and specificity, as measured against the final diagnosis. The high overall diagnostic accuracy of LUS (84%) and the good agreement (kappa coefficient, 0.81) between LUS and the final diagnosis confirmed the high diagnostic yield of LUS. Indeed, the diagnostic accuracy of LUS was higher than was that of chest X-ray.
The primary concern that led us to perform the present study was operator bias, since different operators could interpret ultrasonographic patterns of lung differently. Gaining competence in a skill over time is a well-recognized process, chose a total of 5 hours of theoretical training and 10 supervised ultrasound examinations. With this training method, our operators were able to individually achieve substantial diagnostic agreement (kappa coefficient, 0.81).
Bedside LUS is rapidly becoming integral to the evaluation of critically ill patients. However, it is still not widely used in Brazil. Costs are often regarded as major barriers. (22) In a study conducted in Italy, the use of bedside LUS was associated with a 26% reduction in the total number of chest X-rays and a 47% reduction in the total number of CT scans. (25) The main limitations of this study are its small sample size and the fact that it was conducted in a single center. Because our results are based mainly on the diagnoses of pneumonia and hemodynamic lung edema, further studies are needed to validate the BLUE protocol in the diagnosis of other causes of ARF. In addition, intra-and inter-operator variabilities were not assessed. Furthermore, as we followed the original BLUE protocol, our study did not incorporate the diagnosis of pleural effusion as an etiology of ARF, although LUS has great potential in the diagnosis of this pattern. (5) In conclusion, this study, conducted in an ICU in Brazil, has demonstrated that the BLUE protocol is feasible and can easily be implemented in the ICU. After a brief training period, physicians are able to diagnose the main causes of ARF with accuracy.

Coleraine Borough Houses in Multiple Occupation Subject Plan 2016: Publication of Issues Paper
Published on Mon, 3 Apr 2006
The Issues Paper was published on Monday 3rd April 2006.
This consultation ended on Mon, 10 Jul 2006 at 5:00pm
There is growing concern at the increasing number of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) and the concentration of such accommodation in certain parts of Coleraine Borough Council area.
Local community groups and the media have highlighted the impact that such accommodation and associated issues are having on these areas. This includes a detrimental impact on residential amenity, a lack of community integration, late night street noise and a higher incidence of crime.
A Subject Plan that specifically addresses the issues of HMOs within Coleraine Borough is considered the best method of developing and implementing planning policies for the Borough, particularly for those areas where HMOs are concentrated. The aim of this Issues Paper is to promote debate on issues that are likely to influence the preparation and development of the HMO Subject Plan.

Common readers of this weblog know that I not often make the highest three for a virgin or pocket cash earner, however this week, I made an exception due to the dominant eight-length romp of the promising son of a number of distinguished fathers. tapit a mile allowance non-compulsory race on February 4 Gulfstream Park.
Actually, his missed win for Corridor of Fame coach Todd Pletcher, mixed with just a few crushing Kentucky Derby (G1) prep races, gave Tapit Trice the highest spot. Tapit Trice took the lead in his earlier race. Slip Mahoney From the neck within the first particular weight race on a muddy observe in December 2022 Aqueduct. It was a proud second when Slip Mahoney returned to earn his 3-year-old debut in January. Tapit Trice was second alternative within the pocket win on Feb. 4, however confirmed straightforward with a ultimate quarter mile: 24.53 and a powerful eight-eight mile: 12.30. He equaled a career-best 96 Equibase Velocity Determine for the win, however the Beyer Velocity Determine (92) was much more outstanding, breaking into the highest ten for a 3-year-old in 2023 at a tempo of a mile or extra.
Here is how Pletcher used the Gulfstream allowance path to his Kentucky Derby success: all the time dream It is in 2017 and Tapit Trice has a really sturdy pedigree for 1 1/4 miles. Produced by the lead grasp Tapit, by Tapit Trice. Dunkirk mare danzatrice , the winner of three bets in races longer than a mile.

Once I described highschool sports activities years in the past, an athletic director would have used the phrase "six in a single and half a dozen within the different" so typically that it is develop into a hustle within the sports activities division, but it surely appears fairly applicable when taking the time without work. Win the successful Rocket Can and Hit Present for the quantity two slot right here. It is actually all about choice, however I gave Rocket Can a lightweight nod based mostly on one primary issue that I feel is essential when judging Derby candidates: how they end races. Rocket Can completed three-quarters of the best way via the $250,000 Holy Bull Stakes (G3) held at Gulfstream Park on Feb. 4, considerably higher than the Hit Present gained. Holy Bull's 1:44.97 win time for 1 1/16 mph was somewhat sluggish, however this was largely because of the sluggish tempo, and Rocket Can completed quick with the final sixteenth of a mile and the final five-fifth of a mile in 6.43 seconds. – One sixteenth of simply over 31 seconds.
Whereas Holy Bull's pace figures might sound fairly gentle (89 Equibase Velocity Determine, 82 Beyer Velocity Determine), I feel he might have a pleasant debut for Corridor of Fame coach Invoice Mott. Plus, he is bought an excellent pedigree to face out because the races get longer. By that chief into mischief from tapit mare Blood strain and her grandmother, a number of first-year winners Robust Treble's Brother by two-time Breeders' Cup Basic winner Tiznow .
3. Hit Present
Velocity determine makers apparently gained the Hit Present's 5 1/2-length Withers Stakes (G2) at Aqueduct on Feb. 11, successful a career-best 93 Equibase Velocity Determine and a career-best 91 Beyer Velocity Determine. nicely rated. This sugar voyage colt improved his Equibase and Beyer figures at each begin in his four-race profession for 2020 and 2021 Eclipse Award-winning coach Brad Cox. Just like the Tapit Trice and Rocket Can, the Hit Present seems to have been bred to thrive on the Derby course because the races get longer—somebody who was crushed by the 2017 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes winner Sweet Trip at 1 1/4 mph. Actress by Tapit.
With three wins in 4 begins and an apparent excuse (a foul begin) for its single defeat, The Hit Present has tons of potential for owner-breeders Gary and Mary West. That mentioned, my solely quibble concerning the Withers win just isn't trivial as he did not end the 1 1/8 mile race very well. Based on the Equibase chart, he accomplished the final three-eighths of a mile in roughly :41.08 and with a ultimate lengthy distance of :14.06. That is one thing to keep watch over within the ultimate prep race for the Kentucky Derby, which is able to doubtless be the $750,000, 2nd Wooden Memorial Stakes at Aqueduct on April 8.

The Mendip Way has to be one of the South-West's best kept secrets.
All ages
Like the Cotswolds' slightly more streetwise, alternative cousin, the Mendip Way features the spectacular Ebbor and Cheddar Gorges, the brutal climb up Wavering Down through King's Wood, incredible views over the Somerset Levels and to the circular Cheddar Reservoir, and then England's smallest city, Wells, with its magnificent cathedral. Thanks to the ongoing work of the Mendip Hills Fund, this area has become better signposted but we do provide additional marking to help you stay on the right track. Starting at the Market Town of Frome (for the whole of the Mendip Way) or from Wells (for the West Mendip Way only) you will run through a real smorgasbord of Somerset scenery. If you like hills then you will find plenty to enjoy here, but either way you will be amply rewarded for climbing the hills with views to breathe life into tired legs and then a downhill cruise to help get your strength back. Some particularly scenic parts of the course are Cranmore Tower (the highest point on the whole route), the amazing panoramic views from Wavering Down, the quarries and forests of Black Rock Nature Reserve, Ebbor Gorge and the lush pine forests of Rowberrow, but this route is absolutely jam packed with stunning locations. There are many wonderfully scenic short runs but all in a sequence one after the other to create a kind of montage of trail running wonderment. Once you've run in the Mendip Hills you'll only have one question - "When can I come back?" You will finish at the huge sandy expanses of the beach at Uphill, just outside Weston-Super-Mare; there will be a coach to take you from there to the race start in the morning. Here you can relax on the sand and enthuse about the Mendip Way with your fellow finishers until you're ready to move on. With over 5,000 ft. of ascent for the 50 miler, and over 4,000 for the 30 miler, this is certainly not a flat route and will provide a challenge, but with rolling hillside, pretty woodland, quarries, atmospheric villages and a whole lot more you will often be too busy enjoying the views to think too hard about how tired you are. This is quite a similar race to Ham & Lyme; if you enjoy one you are likely to enjoy the other.

Meth mysteriously made it is way into United States of America through the rural areas and not so many people including the media reflected on it. Meth is a cheap white crystal like drug compared to cocaine and other hard drugs (Pastorino and Doyle-Portillo 45).
Meth is consumed by ways of injection when in liquid form; smoking or inhaling it is residues which seduce those who consume it, thus making them feel confident and sexy for several hours. After several days of drug abuse, an individual's life is destroyed since the drug interferes with the body's nervous system. Meth is an addictive drug used by individuals from various socioeconomic status thus including doctors in Illinois, computer engineers in Chicago and works of different industries in Georgia.
Summary of the Meth Epidemic video
"RWA #1: PBS Frontline: The Meth Epidemic" is a narrated video that focuses on uses and making of meth drugs in the United States of American. The pictures portrayed in the video show the effects of meth as a drug when used continuously by addicts. First, the video gives an image of how a woman's beautiful face was before she started using meth and later how it wrinkled making her look old.
Apart from it folding several times, the woman's face contains blood patches that make her look reddish. It also shows how the police are trying to curb it is rate of consumption by storming in illegally made laboratories and making several arrests on those individuals found in the act of making, consuming and selling the drug to the public.
This includes an individual with a yellow vest who tries to deny having the drug after having been found with a small polythene paper containing meth. When arresting the man, the policeman says, "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can ands will be used against you in a court of law (RWA #1: PBS Frontline: The Meth Epidemic). It also gives its focus on the various ways in which an individual can get access of the drug through the purchase of cold drugs from authorized dealers.
Trends of meth use
Basing on a report by the National Survey on drug Use and Health of 2009, the document portrays an increment in the number of individuals using the drug from 2008. In 2008, the approximated number of individuals who abused the drug was registered as 312000 but in 2009, the surveyors registered a total of more than 500000 individuals.
This increase constituted a number of more than 90000 individuals who were new to the game. It also shows that the number of meth drugs and their laboratories were on the rise, thus an indication that a lot of people are engage in the act of drug abuse. The most affected areas are the rural areas where those involved in the act are unemployed.
Looking at the rate of meth supply, the number of indivituals involved in drug manufacturing process is increasing, thus making the product readily available in the market. Basing on Drug Enforcement Administration institute, the year 2007 experienced an increase of meth seizures by 180 percent which is almost 1800 kilograms. This number increased to more than 5000kilograms in 2009, thus doubling that of the previous year. The main suppliers of meth in the United States of America are the Mexicans.
The reason why meth is cheap is probably because it is prices have been escalating throughout the years (Pastorino and Doyle-Portillo 98). Since 2005, the price per gram for this commodity has been reducing until in 2009 when the amount clocked at $110.00, thus containing a purity level of 72 percent. Last, the increase in number of meth laboratories that were found in the United States of America after the government conducted a search in several towns also raised an alarm.
While this increase continues to take place, majority of innocent citizens suffer silently because nothing can be done to stop whatever crimes that come with meth consumption. Many divorces came as a result of meth consumption because they are based on domestic violence. Children have been abandoned by their parents because they can no longer take care of them.
Effects of meth epidemic on addict
The worst thing about meth consumption is that it damages the brain the moment one becomes an addict and when treated, it requires an individual to undergo several processes to recover. If frequently used, it interferes with dopamine receptors thus making it an able to respond to any form of pleasure.
Several researches have been done concerning pleasure thus indicating that it can be treated as time goes by but no healing will be realized on a victim's cognitive ability since it is permanent. The level of anxiety and hallucination in an addict's body comes as a result of an individual persistently consuming meth. According to doctor Rawson Richard, the rush feeling of pleasure takes several minutes before it elapses and thereafter followed by a high euphoric that consumes more than ten hours.
During this time, the brain discharge dopamine chemicals which are normally in excess thus the neurotransmitter used to control the rate of an individuals level of pleasure (Pastorino and Doyle-Portillo 121). Despite other drugs such as alcohol releasing this kind of chemical in one's brain, meth is considered the mother of their release because it discharges all dopamine. After feeling this way, an individual goes through a deep depression.
This contributes to the urge of one's drug consumption because he or she would want to feel normal which at this point is destruction of the brain. The brain of a meth addict usually undergoes a series of changes in the sense that the brain wiring networks are destroyed, thus making it unable to experience any form of pleasure. Other effects of meth include;

- Increasing the rate of an individual's heart beat
- It lowers the process of illness resistance in human being thus, killing the body tissues responsible for that process
- It increases the body temperature which to the brain is risky
- Last, it disorganises an individuals lifestyle just the way it did with Kimberly Fields.
Ingredients of meth
Ingredients required in making meth into a complete product include ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. The two products are found in cold medicine as seen in the video and because of their effect on human beings, laws have been enacted to oversee it is process of consumption.
Combat Methamphetamine Act is among the laws enacted in 2005 in order to curb the rate of meth consumption. The law restricts an individual from consuming too much of pseudoephedrine. Therefore it is required that vendors in need of the drug to make purchase behind the counter and always have records of those who make purchase from them. In places like Mississippi and Oregon, more measures have been considered in that for one to get the drug, he or she has to have a doctor's prescription.
Ways of curbing meth
Despite all these efforts, producers and users of meth still have other means of accessing the drugs. This is achieved by the producers hiring individuals who in turn purchase the product legally from one of the government distributers designated in various locations. Institutions where monitoring electronic devices are not available provide these individuals with better chances of getting the drugs. This is because; no tracking device such as cameras will be available to show how the products were taken.
A process called shake and bake is normally used by small scale laboratories when making meth. To achieve this process, one is only required to have cold pills containing pseudoephedrine or ephedrine together with toxic or noxious household chemicals which are readily available in the market. One should also have a two liter bottle of soda which is used to mix the two ingredients thereby giving a complete meth drug for human consumption.
From the above, one is able to observe that meth is an epidemic that need to be addressed by governments around the globe to reduce the rate of it is consumption within the society. Places like Mississippi indicated a decrease in the consumption of pseudoephedrine since the introduction of the laws that prohibits the excessive purchase and consumption of the drugs.
Oregon began protecting it is state children, women and men in 2004 before the enactment of the laws in 2009. Other states are following soot to an extend that laws have been enacted classifying the cold pills as illegal drugs that require authorized prescription from qualified physicians such as doctors.
