Prior to 2008, I viewed many appraisals with a bit a disbelief. The economy was growing at 3-4% but real estate prices in NJ were going up by 20%. Something had to give and it sure did. When I started doing foreclosure defense work, I was shocked to see the mortgages that were being given out based on highly questionable income. How could a guy that worked as a manager at Home Depot get a $500,000 mortgage? Moreover, who, in their right mind, could believe that that person was making $10,000 per month? Welcome to the world of stated income loans. Any sane person would conclude that the manager at Home Depot was not making $120,000 per year. One would think that an underwriter would come to that same conclusion. How, then, could the employer of that underwriter lend a half million dollars to that manager. If not based on income, it had to be based on the value of the collateral. Enter the appraiser. More than a few appraisers were fudging their appraisals. The problem that I found was that it was difficult to get an expert to testify that another appraiser was playing games. A tight little group. At any rate, I was not able to go after any appraiser in my 5 years of foreclosure defense litigation. That brings us up to an article in today's WSJ about inflated appraisals. Banks are auditing loan applications, or so they say, and are seeing more and more questionable appraisals. As prices have leveled, appraisers are claiming that loan officers and real estate brokers are putting the heat on them to come up with values to justify the loans. Isn't that fraud??? or predatory lending?? or both. The OCC and Freddie Mac are investigating. Finally, the article says that banks are turning to AMC's (appraisal management companies) to assign appraisal work. This gets the loan officer (a source of pressure on the appraiser) out of the loop. However, appraisers now are complaining that the AMC's are twisting their arms to come up with more favorable appraisals. It's funny. The appraiser blame loans officers, real estate agents and AMC for their own illegal activity. Sort of reminds me of my sons when they were little. Whenever I caught them doing something wrong, it was always someone else's fault. More importantly, the question is what did the banking industry and their agents and the government learn from the 2008 meltdown. Looks like not much.

I love chocolate. However, as I set out to research my mother's ancestors, I never expected to find a relative establishing a famous brand of chocolate in Bremen, Germany, in the late 1800s. But I did. I knew the Hachez surname well as part of our family history, thanks to my mother and grandmother. In fact, the first family surname I ever put into Google was Hachez, along with the Wisconsin town of New Holstein. When I got immediate and relevant results, I was hooked on genealogy. Most of the settlers of New Holstein in Calumet County, came from the Schleswig-Holstein region of northern Germany, just south of Denmark. But Ferdinand Herman Hachez was distinctive. The 1870 Census shows that he came to from Gem. Bremen, in other words Gemeinde Bremen or Municipality Bremen, located in the Hannover region. Discovering his family and his life took resources in America and Europe, online and off, including the assistance of a skilled genealogist in Germany. We found that Ferdinand Hermann Hachez was born into the Bremen merchant family, surname Hachez, his parents being Johann Ferdinand Dominikus Hachez and Hermine Constanze Detmers. He was born on 20 Sept 1818 in Celle, Hannover, Germany, according to an old family group sheet and the Bremen local family heritage book held at Die Maus, the Bremen Genealogical Society. He was baptized at Celle on 27 Sep 1818, according to the Kirkenbuch or church book for the Catholic Church in Celle, which is south of Bremen. The Hachez name is well known in Bremen, due to the chocolate company that exists even today, although the family itself is gone. That fame prompted Hermann Sandkühler to write the article "Schiffe und Schokolade zweimal Joseph Hachez" (Ships and Chocolate Twice Joseph Hachez), available online in German, to explain the family origins in Belgium and arrival in Bremen in 1785. Find the article here. Then put the URL in a free online translation service to read it in English. Ferdinand, a given name popular in his branch of the Hachez family, appears to have grown up in Bremen but as a young adult turned to agriculture. His 1874 obituary says he first farmed near Bremen, likely family lands, and then managed estates for the nobility in Holstein and Mecklenburg, today in Germany. He must have heard of the excellent farm land to be found near the German settlement of New Holstein. Wisconsin had gained statehood in 1848 and actively promoted immigration to settle its farmlands, forests and towns. His father Johann Ferdinand Dominikus Hachez died on 23 March 1847 in Bremen, Germany, and his will directed that each of his children was to receive a fair share of his estate as their legacy. This inheritance likely helped Ferdinand Hermann Hachez take his great journey to the New World. About this same time, Ferdinand married a woman named Louise. Where they married or who her ancestors are is unknown. Their son Ferdinand Hachez was born 10 April 1848 somewhere in Holstein, Germany, if the census records are right. In the summer of 1854, the family of three set sail from Bremen on the vessel Robert, arriving 4 Aug 1854 in New York City, as shown on passenger lists found on Ancestry.com. They set off at once for Wisconsin, arriving in New Holstein that same year, as shown in the book Memories of the First Years of the Settlement of New Holstein, by Rudolph Puchner. > he provided meteorological reports for a few months in 1864 and 1865, as shown the Annual Report of the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution, 1874. > F. Hachez for several years was president of the German Agricultural Society in New Holstein as seen in Report, Issue 4, by the United States Dept. of Agriculture, 1870. > Ferdinand Hachez, Sr., Claus Oesau, Sr., of New Holstein and others incorporated the Mutual Hail Insurance Company of Wisconsin, with legislative approval granted on 25 Feb 1870. About this time, several important changes occurred for the Hachez family. On 3 June 1869, son Ferdinand married Eliese Boie, daughter of Nicholas Boie and Cecilia (Tonner) Boie. By the 1870 Census, Louise Hachez was deceased, although the specific date is not known. And then in 1872, the railroad arrived on the east side of the village of New Holstein, opening new commercial opportunities. The Hachez family ceased farming, and the younger Ferdinand moved into the village to operate the Farmers and Mechanics Saloon on the east end of town. The elder Ferdinand then went into business selling hail insurance. He moved to another German community – New Ulm, Minnesota – by 1872, according to A comprehensive index to A.T. Andreas' Illustrated historical atlas of Minnesota, 1874. He died there on 10 Aug 1874, and was buried "with a great following to the cemetery. The Turnverin showed last honors 'in copore,' since Hachez had been a member in good standing, " his obituary says. Ferdinand Hachez, both father and son, experienced the call of commercial enterprise, matching the Hachez family's merchant tradition in Bremen. Oh, and yes, chocolate. Joseph Emile Hachez, a nephew of Ferdinand Herman Hachez, founded Bremer HACHEZ Chocolade GmbH & Co. in Bremen in 1890. Today it is said to be the second largest manufacturer of chocolate in Germany.

6 Best Tips for Writing a Great Press Release It's more important than ever to craft the perfect press release to get publicity. Write a great press release and it becomes a crucial search engine optimization (SEO) tool and the vehicle that delivers your message to a vast audience. The press release is essential, also, to shape your company's brand and provide visibility by creating the pathway for all other public relations efforts. When you come across a story that announces some new development at a business, a non-profit or any other organization, chances are that the story didn't originate in the efforts of a hard-working reporter on the beat. In most cases, no ink-stained wretch had to ferret out the news that Widget Corporation was bringing a new and improved gizmo or app to market. Instead, many of those stories start – and some even finish – with the humble press release. "Most press releases are easily ignored – don't let it happen to yours." In essence, a press release is a statement issued by the organization itself about something that the organization thinks is newsworthy. It hopes that the media will agree with that assessment, and it hopes that the media will be eager to spread the news far and wide. In a sense, a press release can be a very cost-effective form of advertising. You don't need to buy media space or time, and the cost of writing and disseminating a release is typically orders of magnitude below that of a typical media buy. Given those low costs and the ease with which a typical release can be written, it's no surprise that there is a lot of competition for media attention. With journalists' inboxes filled to the brim and beyond, most press releases are easily ignored. If your press release is to stand out and get valuable attention, craft your release with care, and start by following six basic steps. 1) Start with a great headline You must capture the producer's attention. Yours might be one of 10 or 20 or 100 that cross her desk in the last hour. Your headline needs to motivate a reporter to read what you've written. To do that, the headline must deliver the gist of the story immediately. It has to catch her eye quickly. Otherwise, you've made it too easy to just move on to the next release and have yours consigned to the delete button. 2) Stand out Summarize the most important – and preferably dramatic – point you're making. Do it in one line. Keep it simple enough to be understood at a glance, because that's all you're likely to get. Stick to that theme in the first paragraph. Now that you've captured some attention, there's no time to waste. Your first paragraph should also be short, clear and to the point. Follow the time-tested rule of reporting the news: Your opening paragraph should tell the reader the 5 Ws — who, what, where, when and why — plus the 1 H, How. 3) Find a quotable quote. Make it a good one You need a supportive comment from an expert. Make your quote something that journalists would be likely to include in their stories. It doesn't have to be verbatim. There's no sin in drafting words for the CEO if she's agreeable. But the quote does have to add to the story and provide context. If you're announcing the opening of a new plant, for example, quoting the CEO as being "thrilled to open the new plant" adds nothing. Instead a quote such as, "We've doubled manufacturing capacity with the highest level of automation in the industry" provides context and helps you stand out. Of course, you'll want to be sure to be accurate. 4) Avoid jargon Every industry has jargon, and the longer you've used that jargon, the more likely you are to view it as everyday speech. However, the rest of the world, and especially the members of the public who make up your audience, may, to put it bluntly, have no idea what you're talking about. Keep things simple and clear, and avoid jargon, including obscure acronyms, when you can. As a test, have someone from outside your circle read the release. If it's clear to them, you should be good to go. 5) Don't be 'salesy' Everyone knows that you're trying to tell your story in a way that makes the release sound as good as it can be, but don't make a release a flat-out sales pitch. Don't be 'salesy.' Write it as if it's an actual news story, something that would naturally appear in your target publication. By writing in as objective a manner as possible, you've made your release more credible, more interesting and more likely to be published, especially as it becomes the kind of release that needs the least amount of work from the journalist who's deciding what to publish. Make that person's life as easy as you can, and you'll both benefit. 6) Proofread Typos and misspellings make your efforts look amateurish. That, in turn, hurts the credibility of your release. Proofread carefully before you submit it to the outlets you've chosen, post it online and start social media efforts. Then proofread once more. Good job.

La Disputa o Juicio de Horus y Seth es un texto literario clásico del Imperio Nuevo del Antiguo Egipto, datable a mediados del siglo XIII a. C. y conservado en el Papiro Chester Beatty I. Se funda en una leyenda muy antigua: la rivalidad entre los dioses Horus y Seth cuando se disputan el trono de Egipto que ocupaba Osiris, padre de Horus y hermano de Seth, antes de convertirse en rey de los muertos. Una larga deliberación de los dioses da la razón a Horus, dios de la justicia. El texto, sin embargo, resulta satírico y bastante paródico: los dioses son presentados como personajes groseros que comen, ríen e incluso escandalizan y son siempre de la opinión del último que habla. Seth, que es un ganapán vicioso, propone a Horus arreglar las cosas a puñetazos. Además, Seth, cuando ve que va a perder, amenaza con vengarse a no los jueces uno por uno. Y la diosa Hator se desnuda ante su padre, que se parte de risa: Finalmente, Hathor, hija de Ra-Atum, decidió un plan. La bella diosa se puso a bailar y mientras lo hacía, empezó a quitarse la ropa. Los demás dioses hicieron un corro a su alrededor para verla mejor, y reían y aplaudían. El follón molestaba al dios Sol y sacó la cabeza por la puerta de la habitación para ver qué estaba pasando. Al ver a su hija bailando, Ra-Atum también empezó a reír y olvidó su cólera. Referencias Relatos del Antiguo Egipto Cuentos de Egipto Literatura de Egipto del siglo XIII a. C.

Gay Film Fest: For the Love Of Dolly / Camp Michael Jackson June 17, 2006 Victoria Theatre 2961 16th Street Across from the 16th BART Station For the Love of Dolly profiles Dolly Parton's greatest fans. These fans are so devoted to Dolly that she knows them by name. David is a developmentally disabled young man whose parents say his "friendship" with Dolly has pushed him into exceeding his doctors' expectations. Patric and Harrel are a gay couple for whom Dolly is the common ground. Harrel hopes one day to sell the beautiful Dolly dolls he makes in Dollywood. Another fan, Melissa, has adopted Dolly as a mother figure after a difficult childhood. The movie takes the viewer into the fans' homes - which are museums of memorabilia - and follows their preparations for the annual Dollywood grand opening parade. Camp Michael Jackson presents us with a less optimistic view of fandom. The fans have set up camp in Santa Maria, California, where the King of Pop is on trial for child molestation. One is spending her inheritance to stay in a nearby hotel and support another fan. Another is a local single mother whose son must dash to the courthouse to have his school papers signed. A third is a young Bay Area woman dying of cancer who focuses her remaining energy on her love of Michael. The film's liveaction footage captures the fans scrambling each morning to catch a glimpse of the often tardy arrival of the star. But the ultimate goal is to be invited into Neverland, which the fans describe as heaven on earth. -CAMERON SCOTT Official Website: http://www.frameline.org/festival/30th/filmsevents.html Added by crackersalad on June 8, 2006 crackersalad kmeelyon

The Los Angeles Dodgers will begin their 2019 Cactus League schedule with Daniel Corcino taking the hill Saturday against the Chicago White Sox. Hyun-Jin Ryu is tentatively scheduled to start Sunday when the Dodgers host the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Although Clayton Kershaw is set to extend his streak of Opening Day starts, the Dodgers now have not used him in their spring opener for two consecutive years. Wilmer Font drew the assignment against the White Sox last year. Jamie Schultz, Kevin Quackenbush, Josh Sborz and Joe Broussard are among the relief pitchers scheduled to appear Saturday. Brock Stewart should be among those backing Ryu on Sunday. Noticeably absent, for now, are Kershaw and Walker Buehler. For Corcino, he's in camp with the Dodgers a second straight spring. He appeared in six games last year, pitching to a 1.35 ERA. The start will be the first of his career in Spring Training. Corcino was re-signed to a Minor League contract in January. Corcino joined the Dodgers from Triple-A Oklahoma City last June, when Pat Venditte was optioned. Corcino spent four days with the club, returning to Oklahoma City when Kenta Maeda was reinstated from the disabled list. Corcino was designated for assignment in July but cleared waivers and remained with the organization. He allowed just two ones (one earned) in four innings pitched across two relief appearances for the Dodgers last season. Ryu went 3-1 but allowed 13 runs (12 earned) in 15.1 innings over four starts last spring. Ryu's 7.04 ERA in Cactus League was inflated due to allowing a combined nine runs in his first two outings.

Analysis & Programming ("Kuleta Haki") Against Corruption in DRC Blog Corruption in Fragile States Blog What Worked: Fighting Corruption Through Collective Action January 19, 2018 May 31, 2019 Lori Zimmermann 2546 Views 0 Comment By Kiely Barnard-Webster The central contribution of the Network [for its members] is that members no longer feel alone in the fight against corruption during their individual actions of resistance. – Kuleta Haki Transition Review, December 2017 Is collective action effective for fighting corruption in fragile states? For one collective action effort, members now prefer to resist with a group behind them. Kuleta Haki, an experimental anti-corruption project, celebrated its second anniversary in December 2017 with a final Transition Review. Kuleta Haki was designed based on a classic 'strength in numbers' idea. The central theory was: If people from within the CJS who act with integrity can establish strong relationships with each other, then they will feel more protected and empowered to act against corruption more openly and often because they will have support (e.g. emotional, hierarchical, tactical) from those inside the system. The Network currently has between 80-100 members, including lawyers, magistrates, police, clerks, judges, and civil society members. The Review was conducted by a team of three actors independent of the program, with the objective of assessing the achievements of the project, what may have contributed, and how participants (the Network) might plan for a sustainable future. The system of corruption is resilient, and hard to change, nowhere more so than in fragile states. However, Kuleta Haki has been able to unite disparate criminal justice sector (CJS) actors who believe that resistance together is not only better for changing the system, but entirely possible in the long-term. To date, relationships across offices and jurisdictions, attitudes about the value of group resistance, and changes in knowledge about corruption have led the Network to persist. This post only outlines a few of the many achievements and challenges identified in the Transition Review. Far more, rich, content can be found in the full report such as the bosses' roles in enabling resistance, and the diverse challenges Network members regularly face. Approaching a corruption system through collective action: an abridged look at achievements Establishing relationships across judicial institutions opens up opportunities for resisting at multiple points in the system Since the beginning of the project, the group has convened 'judicial sub-groups' – groups of clerks, magistrates, police – that regularly work together within their individual jurisdictions and/or courts. During all-Network activities (e.g., teambuildings) these sub-groups participate and report on challenges, progress, or success stories, adding to the group's knowledge about corruption and resistance strategies while also deepening the Network's bond as a group. The Review showed that the Network has demonstrated an ability to integrate judicial actors with diverse profiles from different jurisdictions allowing them to work across police, courts and corrections. This gives the group an advantage, to pick and choose strategies tailored for different situations. For example, the Reviewers found that the Network has tested diverse ways to resist corruption, and found that no singular strategy surfaces as the "best." The Network has "found numerous forms and strategies that vary according to hierarchical position, personality and institution, including: 'circumvention' (asking to be removed from a file), 'passive resistance' (refusing to engage when others of their rank might be expected to act differently), 'active resistance' (saying no to corruption)." Cultivating attitudes about 'strength in numbers' is important for this strategy to work Being a member of Kuleta Haki appears to have fostered three important attitudes for corruption resistance (based on the Transition Review findings). First, Reviewers noted that, as an accepted member, you feel you are no longer alone and that others have experienced the same daily challenges you do. Second, membership nurtures the sentiment that in a given moment at work, when faced with corruption, you have options to resist in relative safety because the Network will support you when possible. As one Network member explained, "To be protected, you must be part of the Network. The Network may seek to verify the facts [if you believe corruption is occurring] and may cover you. If you do not have coverage, you stay in your position." Finally, as a member, you can look ahead with confidence in the knowledge that you have opportunities to share your successes with other members, and discuss strategy. As one member noted: "we talk, we share our experiences, sharing stories related to corruption. Often these are positive stories. We also hear the discouragement of the members." Activities that catalyzed these attitudinal changes: From the Transition Review and formative, internal evaluation, these trusting relationships require frequent meetings, in which members literally remove their professional robes which serve as symbols of hierarchy. Recreational meetings (e.g., game nights, dinners, an anti-corruption march on the weekend), greatly help to strengthen links and break down social and hierarchical divisions. Since October 2017 when external support to Kuleta Haki was reduced, reviewers pointed out that meetings have been less frequent and (as expected) this has started to "create a distance," as one Network member put it, spurring rumors about which members remain committed. Learning about corruption and how it functions is still important for resisting the system Knowledge is a powerful motivator. Systems analysis conducted prior to implementing Kuleta Haki showed that, overall, CJS actors do not feel they know enough about corruption including what legally constitutes corruption. Compounding this, many original interviewees reported that most Congolese citizens felt corruption is a 'banal' practice, implying a hopelessness abounds for understanding and eradicating it. This led the project design team to infuse Kuleta Haki with knowledge activities (e.g., trainings, accompaniment events etc). Mid-way through the project, a mid-term evaluation showed that many felt a better understanding of corruption forced them to confront the real harm that systemic corruption causes (at the individual and national level) feeding their motivation to resist. The final Transition Review confirmed this point and illustrated it with the following quote from one Network member, "knowledge of the situations that constitute corruption makes it possible to become aware of one's own corrupt practices", leading then to questions about how to resist. Trainings to teach what corruption is, and how it happens, were useful to this end as were accompaniment activities (to help develop the project's strategy/Theory of Change, for example). Theory of Change thinking still contributed, but skills were challenging to master. Though skills from Theory of Change workshops were not fully absorbed by the end of the project the concepts were still felt to be useful. From the Review, developing a theory of change based on the systems analysis helped the diverse group (in various CJS positions and rank) better understand their roles in resisting. Knowledge products stoked feelings of strength. From the Transition Review, the hard copy of the Resistance Handbook continues to strengthen members, who, alone in their office, can draw on: explanations of corruption, resistance strategies and motivation for why it's important to resist. The Review mentions that this manual is even more important in the event that meetings decrease and exchanges become scarce. Although the international support aspect of this project concluded in Fall 2017, the Network still continues to resist corruption on its own today. The Transition Review took a useful snapshot of the group's work at this point in the progress of their efforts. The Network's governing body has since read the full version of the report, publicly available on CDA's website, and approved its publication and distribution. Next week, read about the project team's lessons learned from their analysis of the report, and from their perspective as the managers of an adaptive, experimental foray into collective anti-corruption resistance. Kiely Barnard-Webster is a Program Manager at CDA Collaborative Learning Projects, working on innovative approaches to tackling corruption in the DRC. She is also currently contributing to several different peacebuilding effectiveness and conflict sensitivity projects at CDA, as well as helping to support CDA's office in Myanmar.

the turkey was, in the end, completely worth the second mortgage we had to take out in order to acquire it. a veritable triumph of a turkey. tender, juicy, really the best one ever. but i'm a bit exhausted, so i'll have to tell stories about it tomorrow. so for now i'll just say that i'm thankful for such interesting, funny, erudite, well-traveled, intellectual friends and family. it was indeed a privilege to share a bit of my cultural imperialism tradition with them. and i was really impressed with how much they ate. and drank. brilliant. Ah there you are. Hoorah , a total triumph!! i say, that is quite a bird. glad it was such a success after the trouble it gave you beforehand... happy thanksgiving! Yep, impressive indeed!!!! I did just a breast and we're still eating leftovers... gah!!! That is, I must say, a very brilliant bird! it looks like an absolute martha moment. glad it turned out well. beautiful bird! there is nothing like celebrating the colonisation of an entire peoples with too much food. ahh america... we love you! looks better than a martha moment. Tales of culinary woe are always funny -- especially if you know (as I did beforehand, from seeing this picture) that all turned out extremely WELL.

How the Grinch Saved the Holiday Party (and the Company)! The holiday season is fast approaching. With this time of year comes aggravation and anxiety from shopping and travel gridlock; from searching every Walmart, Target, and Best Buy for this year's "must-have" gifts (which will be soon forgotten); and from awkward interactions with long-lost family members. None of these challenges compares with the stress that human resources departments experience during the holiday season. For most employees, the annual holiday party is an opportunity to relax with colleagues in an informal setting, celebrate the year's accomplishments and triumphs, boost morale, and recharge for the year ahead. But for human resources professionals, the holiday party is a terrifying minefield of potential legal exposure. Addressing these risks, however, does not require abolishment of the holiday party, or fun.

Iowan Simpletons Successfully Trolled Filed to: journalismism journalismism Stephen bloom The elites Tweetg Those of you who are from or who currently live in one of America's more backwards states (Southern states, Southwestern states, all middle American states, or any part of any state on either coast outside of a major metropolitan area) know that there are few pleasures easier or more satisfying than making fun of America's more backward states. I mean, you don't have to be some great wit. A half-dumb child could easily offend a resident of, say, Georgia. And could probably do so more easily than a more eloquent critic, given the state's average reading comprehension. Stephen Bloom, a professor at the University of Iowa, wrote a story in The Atlantic about Iowa this week. You can read the whole thing here, or you can read this summary of ours: Iowans are stupid moron hicks. Oh yeah? Well, Stephen Bloom is a pussy! The Des Moines Register reports: Backlash became so intense by Tuesday afternoon that Bloom, 60, said that for the first time in his career he was worried for his family's safety, was frightened by the "raging bonfire" of dissent. Bloom, 60, for nearly two decades has taught at the University of Iowa in Iowa City. The New Jersey native is spending this year as a visiting journalism professor at the University of Michigan. Yeah, way to be living outside the state when you massively troll its humorless residents. I mean that. Smart move. You don't want to put yourself in a situation where you can actually get beat up. You know how Iowans are. Quick to snap. Unpredictable. Animalistic. Christ, they'd tear a man to pieces and eat him just for stepping on the tail of one of the panting mutts that occupy most of their trailer park recreation areas. No telling what they'd do to you, Bloom. They're damn near as bad as Floridians, in terms of the emotional disabilities most of them have due to their mothers giving them illegal drugs at such a young age. Of course, the fact that the governor of Iowa is giving angry quotes about this story means it's true. [Photo via]

Armstrong® Bon Ami® Drano® Fantastik® Saran™ Scrubbing Bubbles® Shout® Toilet Duck® Windex® Ziploc® brand Products by Brand KIWI® Current Page: KIWI® Cirage à Chaussure - Neutre KIWI® Cirage à Chaussure - Neutre KIWI® Cirage à Chaussure - Neutre Formula 35*27939 The formula number on the label identifies the ingredients used to make that particular product. C13-14 Alkane Carrier C13-14 Alkane is carrier that can be found in floor coating and paints. It helps carry a product to a surface by thinning or thickening the formula or simply ensuring even distribution of the other ingredients in the formula. We use it because, without a carrier, the product would not work with the same consistency across a surface. C13-14 Alkane can also be used as a solubilizer helping to ensure even distribution of the ingredients through a product, to help it work better. No matter how much you shake or blend a formula that combines oil and water, over time the oils will separate from the rest of the liquid - just like salad dressing. A solubilizer helps keep our product formula mixed well. Paraffin Emollient Paraffin is a blend of waxes that is used to form a candle and that provides fuel for the candle as it burns. Paraffin is one of the most plentiful and commonly used waxes today. It can also be found in a wide array of products from lipsticks to eye makeup to baby products. In household products, we use paraffin as a film former to create a protective coating or shine on a surface. 1-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene Carrier 1-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (PCBTF) is a cleaning agent that can also be found in paints and inks. We use it in our products to remove dirt and deposits by surrounding dirt particles to loosen them from the surface they are attached to so that they can be rinsed away. Carnauba Wax Polish, Waterproofer Carnauba wax is a naturally derived film former that can also be found in cosmetics and skin care products. It creates a protective coating or shine on a surface. Carnauba wax comes from the carnauba palm tree – it forms on the leaves of the palm to protect the leaves from heat and keep their moisture from evaporating. In our products, it adds shine and protection when applied to a surface. Oleic Acid Dispersant Oleic acid is a cleaning agent, or "surfactant," and a type of fatty acid that occurs naturally in some foods; others are stearic acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, and palmitic acid. In cosmetics and personal care products, these fatty acids are used in cleansing creams, soaps, and pastes. We use oleic acid in our products to remove dirt and deposits by surrounding dirt particles to loosen them from the surface they're attached to so that they can be rinsed away. In certain products, this ingredient works as a dispersant, dissolving certain kinds of dyes. Glycol Montanate Polish, Waterproofer Glycol montanate is a film former that can be found in a variety of cosmetics and skin care products. In our products, glycol montanate adds shine and provides a protective coating when applied to a surface. Microcrystalline Wax Emollient Microcrystalline wax is a film former that can also be found in cosmetics, chewing gum, and eye drops. It creates a coating or shine on a surface. This means that the surface has an added level of protection, and it also has the shine that helps the surface look its best. It can also be used as a binder that holds a product's ingredients together. We add microcrystalline wax to products so that, when other ingredients are compressed, they're held together in a solid shape. scjohnson.ca

33-year old power forward Brandon Brown (201-PF-85) had a great game in the last round for KCC Egis and receives a Interperformances Player of the Week award for round 29. He had a double-double of 39 points and 15 rebounds, while his team edged out Anyang KGC (#8, 17-22) 109-106. KCC Egis maintains the 5th position in South Korean league. KCC Egis is a typical solid league team placed somewhere in the middle or a little bit lower in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 20-19 record. In the team's last game Brown had a remarkable 55.0% from 2-point range. He turned to be KCC Egis' top player in his first season with the team. Cal State - San Bernardino graduate has very impressive stats this year. Brown is in league's top in points (4th best: 25.4ppg), rebounds (6th best: 13.0rpg) and averages solid 59.7% FGP. Worth to mention Brown played also at Eurobasket Summer League, which helped him get the job in pro basketball. Second best performed player last round was Aaron Haynes (201-F-81) of SK Knights. He is American forward in his second season at SK Knights. In the last game Haynes recorded impressive double-double of 31 points and 18 rebounds. It was enough for SK Knights to edge the higher-ranked KCC Egis (#5, 20-19) by 4 points 90-86. SK Knights' 9th position in the standings has not changed. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 12-26 record. Haynes is well-known at SK Knights and he already established his position as one of the team's leaders. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 20.9ppg (#9). His other stats are also decent: 10.8rpg and 4.9apg. Third place about best performers goes to forward James Mays (205-F/C-86) of LG Sakers (#4). Mays got into 30-points club by scoring 34 points in the last round. He went also for ten rebounds . He was a key player of LG Sakers, leading his team to a 110-105 win against the lower-ranked DB Promy (#7, 18-20). LG Sakers needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 20 victories and 18 lost games. Mays has a great season in South Korea. After 38 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 26.4ppg (2nd best) and rebounds with 13.3rpg (4th best).

Insight or just plain fact? An insight is a non-obvious user observation that is compelling enough to inspire creative ideas or innovations. I guess that this definition of an insight involves a degree of hindsight. But in a way, that's the point. We're judging the potential of an observation, its likelihood to unfold into something useful. Insights are those facts that excite you emotionally, make you see things in a new light or get your imaginations working. You may have heard about the urinals in Schipol aiport with pictures of a fly etched in? The insight was that men like something to aim at. Result? 80% less spillage. Dyson identified that consumers really wanted to see what they were hoovering up and so made a see-through cylinder. Diageo found that alcopops were perceived by some as too sweet and for inexperienced drinkers, so there was an unmet need for a more adult drink like Smirnoff Ice. It's very tempting to think that if you sit in a quiet place you will eventually Have An Idea. You may well do. But it's a lot easier starting with a cracking insight. As ever we'd love to hear your views.

Email us at [email protected] R&D Tax Relief Home News and Media News Archive Filter by time period Newest First Oldest First UK Salt Reduction Report MIXED PROGRESS FOR NEW SALT TARGETS The government has released the first report on the amount of salt in our food since targets have been set and, although there have been some huge leaps forward, there is still too much salt in a lot of our food. Products can be massively affected if you change the ingredients, recipe or process, so it's no easy task for producers to simply reduce the salt content in their products. It's always worth remembering that if you spend time, money or resources when adapting or developing recipes or techniques, you could benefit by making a claim through the R&D scheme. Milestone for R and D Tax We've just heard the great news that we have made a successful claim for our 1,000th client! This is fantastic news and shows how far the company has come since it was launched in 2012. Those 1,000 companies have shared over £88 million in R&D Tax Credits and the average claim our customers receive is £50,000. It's a really super achievement and massive congratulations to Terry and the team - onwards to £100m! Using specialists to claim your R&D I've heard of a few companies recently that are offering an R&D service for fixed fees or very small percentages and although you should never be overpaying, there's a few questions to ask before you sign up. 1. Are they a reputable company and do the company have a track record of successful claims? 2. Could they be putting your business at risk by giving you incorrect advice? 3. Do they fully understand the scheme and are they going to help you understand the rules? 4. Will they help you maximise your claim by including all allowable costs? 5. Are they going to help you support your R&D claim by preparing a detailed technical justification in the format required by HMRC? 6. If HMRC decide to investigate your claim, are you going to be supported through that process? If there is any doubt in your mind it is always a good idea to talk to a specialist. The consultations are free and the advice you receive will equip you to make the best decision for your business. As with everything – if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! 5 Star Rating for Services Alman Consulting achieved a top "5 Star" rating for a recently completed project funded by the Manufacturing Advisory Service. The client manufactured systems sold as capital equipment into the Business to Business Industrial Sector. The project was to create demand for the company's products and identify key decision makers in relevant target areas. The process analysed existing sales to clarify the best target areas for new business, produced a list of companies to approach, created the appropriate marketing message and contacted those businesses to locate the key personnel. This was achieved with the added bonus of immediate requirements being identified that led to new orders exceeding £140k. The comment from the client was that they were "very pleased with what had been delivered" and they expected more business would come as a result of the project. R&D Tax Claim obtained for Website Designer Alman Consulting has succesfully helped a website design company to claim a substantial R & D Tax refund. Previously the company did not even realise that they did Research and Development. In addition to the basic website design, they created software products and applications. These had to run on PC's, laptops, i-Pads and mobile phones and the company needed to do substantial work, at their own risk, to remove the uncertainties of working on these different platforms. We helped the company by writing the technical justification to support the claim submitted by the clients accountant. Pro-Active Sales Strategy Alman Consulting has just completed a MAS supported Pro-Active Sales and Marketing Strategy project. The Manufacturing Advisory Service funding enabled the company to undertake this work which was essential to develop the strategy for growth. The project addressed issues of account segmentation and key account management which enabled the company to ensure retention of existing customers at the same time as finding new customers in the most advantageous target markets. Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credits How would you feel if we gave you a cheque for £43,000?

We normally rely on variance to determine the origin point but does R1a variance peak in the steppes area? In the R1a1a project, the oldest R1a branches by snp are among Scandinavian and other NW Europeans. The Ukraine and Russian members are under downstream mutations as are the south/central Asian ones. There is older upstream R1a in SW Asia. So, in a broad sense it looks like 1) R1a starts in the east, SW Asia in this case, 2) goes to Europe, 3)then turns around and expands back toward the east. 2 fits well with Corded-Ware and 3 fits with later IE and Slavic movements. As for when and where R1a entered Europe is even more uncertain. I do agree that the idea that European R1a spread from the steppes to central and northern Europe seems to be dogma with no evidence. The core of corded ware is Polish TRB and in a sense corded ware could be seen as an extension of an altered form of TRB in various directions, including a push east as far as Ukraine. The direction of spread of corded ware between Poland and Ukraine is west to east. That seems to fit what you are saying about R1a in Europe. Like R1b there seems to be a gap in our understanding and a missing link between the early Asian R1a and the later European phase. The one area Anatole Klyosov should know is R1a1 TMRCAs. I wouldn't get too hung up on his language theories. Here is what he says about movements and expansions. The haplogroup R1a1 was practically saved by the fact that 4,800 years ago, in the beginning of the third millennium BC, its bearers moved from Europe to the Eastern European Plains, and settled the territory from the Baltic to the Black Sea, 4,500 BP they were already in the Caucasus, 3,600 BP they were in Anatolia (according to the haplotypes of the R1a1 haplogroup in modern Anatolia). Meanwhile, across the Eastern European Plain they migrated to the southern Ural, and around 4,000 BP on to the southern Siberia, at that time they founded the Andronovo archaeological culture, colonized Central Asia (4,000 - 3,500 BP), and approximately 3,500 BP a part of them went to India and Iran as Aryans, bringing along the Aryan dialects, which effectively closed the linguistic link with the Aryan languages (R1a1) and led to the emergence of the Indo-European family of languages. I wonder that if there was an early wave of R1a1 to Scandinavia, if it spoke IE or stayed IE speaking. If R1a1 brought IE in N. Europe early, you'd think there would some other early branching from Germanic. How do the Balto-Slavic IE languages relate to Germanic? Any clues as to their sequence? By far the best fit I can imagine is that R1a somehow was part of TRB (itself derived from Lengyel in Poland) and in the guise of Corded Ware (a largely TRB derived culture) spread towards the east. Corded Ware is oldest in Poland and (if I remember correctly) appreciably younger in the Ukraine, which is to be expected given that the latter was not in the TRB zone. I definitely feel Kurganist dogma is involved in the idea that R1a moved from the steppes to northern Europe because the variance and the dates of Corded Ware both suggest the opposite. Its not exactly conclusive but it does highlight something that a few recent papers have noted- the beaker network actually often involved ideas moving and being made locally rather than trading of objects and that in itself emphasises the fact that people were moving rather than just trade. He doesnt talk about place of origin though and actually seems to play down Iberia. 1-Handled pitchers, earliest in Mako (Hungary) and Zlota (SE Poland), 2700 BC. 2- Polypod cups, Kostolac (Hungary) 3000 BC and Vucedol and Corded Ware 2700 BC. 3-Line of Perforations Above a Row, Horgen 3200 BC. 4-Fingernail imprints, TRB 3200 BC. It looks like the earliest pottery influences for Beaker were from central Europe around 3200, before it gets to Iberia in 2900. Deep down I have never really been able to make sense of a simple out of Iberia origin of bell beaker culture. Intuitively I have always felt it has something in common with the TRB-Corded ware tradition and have kind of been waiting for this to be revived in some way. Certainly if there is a tie in in some way with those traditions and other eastern ones noted in your list then it would seem to fit the R1b phylogeny much better. Beaker culture is really proving the toughest nut to crack. Its kind of typical that one of the best candidates for the spread of R1b is a mystery culture even today. Whatever their origin my impression is the beaker culture was spread by small groups who settled in often widely separated pockets and then expanded from these pockets rather than as a wave. That is not to say they didnt have a special interest in it and trading. Its just very counterintuitive to link two branches of L11 that split soon after that SNP to two cultures that originated not only at opposite ends of Europe and spread in different directions. Its certainly not an easy fit with the current mainstream ideas on beakers and corded ware which do not see a common root for corded ware and beaker. The old idea that beaker was a derivative of westernmost corded ware would actually have fitted far better. The one massive caveat is that while a reasonable amount of sense has been made of the origins of corded ware, beaker still seems to almost come from nowhere even if it is oldest in SW Europe. Given beakers apparent mastery of the waves and trade routes it wouldnt be all that surprising if some beaker jumped to Poland. Once there it could have spread in any direction, including back west. It seems counter-intuitive to me to view both P312 and U106 as of Beaker origin, since the two have different distributions. Are you picturing the L11 group as a small band, all in the same place, with the first P312 and U106 men fairly close relatives living near one another? I don't see it that way, although I suppose that is not impossible. I see these age estimates as rough guesses that give us a kind of rule of thumb but nothing very exact. The major SNPs could have arisen in comparatively rapid succession, but what do we mean by rapid? Within 300-500 years of one another? That's still a lot of time, and a lot of landscape could pass under foot and wagon wheel in that time. L11 could have been spread all over Europe. P312 could have arisen in one place and U106 someplace else not necessarily close by. They overlap in places, but the center of gravity of P312 is farther west than that of U106. If Beaker began in Iberia, did U106 arise there, or was it "Beakerized" someplace farther east? I think we have to add a caveat when assessing that U106's distribution is most concentrated in N. Europe. The caveat is modern frequencies do not necessarily indicate the origin was close by. This is definitely close enough to P312's high diversity point for SE France. Like it or not, SE France is close enough to Iberia that we can't throw Anatole Klyosov's Morocco to Iberia R-L11 out of the west scenario. I don't know if U106 originated in the Alpine region. As is being suggested, we should consider that this society was very mobile and it could have spread in a light, scattered "trade-network" type fashion. Enough that major separate clades were arose within a few generations in the different colonies. We really aren't just talking about U106 and P312. The large subclades of Z381, L21, U152, L2 and Z196 all happened quickly too. It wasn't just one U106 sent to the other side of the mountain. I think "closeness" has another meaning also. I think it is just another side of the same coin. The other meaning is closeness or similarity in culture. Perhaps in a very mobile society, the culture could be far-flung but still be very much the same culture. I think this is important. There must have been a cultural advantage/practice that helped the far flung colonies be successful in different locales. To have maintained that advantage when integrating into varying geographies and prior inhabitants, they must not have separated in time NOT too long before.... and probably knew where home was. ... If Beaker began in Iberia, did U106 arise there, or was it "Beakerized" someplace farther east? Klyosov's answer to this is that P312 and U106 arose near the end of the journey. Remember the L11 (I guess L51 - L23 - M269) lineage coming from SW Asia down the Mediterranean Coast so by the time we get to Iberia we are basically to the destination - Western Europe. On Rootsweb he described the end of the journey (or the start for P312 and U106) as being near the Pyrenees. Apparently he thinks there is really high diversity around there. Not sure where he is getting that from. One thing I will say is that I dont think the beaker problem will be solved by archaeologists using normal archaeological techniques. Ancient DNA is the only way it will be solved. The coincidence of the beaker problem and the L11 problem is uncanny. I can only assume if yDNA is being extracted from Neolithic and Corded Ware groups that it can be done for beakers. Beakers have the advantage that in many areas burial involves individual discreet burials in closed contexts. Its baffling to me that no beaker yDNA has been published yet. There seems very little on the net about upcoming yDNA testing of beaker bones. However, it surely must be a major target for people testing ancient DNA. I would be amazed if we dont hear something about ancient beaker DNA in the next year or two. Here is a bit of a twist. U152 is has higher variance than P312 overall and higher than U106. L2 is the old a large old part of U152. L2 is both frequent and of high diversity in the Alpine region including N. Italy. I was hoping that I could find a peer clade with L2 and do an interclade TMRCA to put a floor on U152's age. I didn't quite find what I wanted but found something else of interest. There are two small peer subclades, Z36 and Z56, with 15 and 16 67 STR hts. I think that is too few to compare with L2, but I ran the comparison anyway. Looks reasonable but I threw Z56 into the mix. What happened? The 15 Z56 guys have messed all of the nicely aligned interclades so far. I think we really do need need more like 30+ folks to make this more meaningful so I kind of just write this off. However, I looked a bit more at Z56 just to see what was haywire about it. Those 15 guys have a lot of wierd such a small group. An extraordinary amount at some very slow markers... 454= 12 and 10, 492= 13 and 14. Also they have some off-modal folks at 385a= 14, 511= 11, H4= 12, 449= 28 and 30, 458= 15 to 19. You are supposed to "clean up" the data for obvious multi-step results, but I just don't touch any adjustments like that. You never know for sure if it is warranted or not to adjust. To look further it's an interesting bunch of folks. What do you think? Finding a subclade like Z56 does make one think that U152 (and P312) probably really occurred east of France or east and south of France. I see the Sicilian too, so that will Machiavelli happy. Speaking of that, did you notice the new Italian guy in the L21 project? What happened to Poland and the Baltic? Last I heard, that was where U106 haplotype variance was greatest. Is that not the case? I know it is possible that Klyosov is right with his North African Trek theory for R1b, but what real evidence is there for it? He referred everyone on Rootsweb to some Russian articles, but when I asked him if English translations were available, he never answered me. I realize I am a mere lowly peasant layman, but geez! Intestesting. The high variance in Austria is certainly compatible with my suspicion that at least some U106 (and P312) entered Europe along the Danube, though I don't necessarily suggest that was the only route into Europe for either subclade). How does the U106 variance in Austria compare with that in Scandinavia and other parts of northern Europe? It seems to me you have calculated these recently, though I can't find it. I think we have to add a caveat when assessing that U106's distribution is most concentrated in N. Europe. The caveat is modern frequencies do not necessarily indicate the origin was close by . . . I wanted to add that I never thought that. I don't think that about any y haplogroup or subclade. If you recall, I am the one who argued that I don't think U106 was as far west during the Bronze Age as it is now. For example, it appears to be thickest in the Netherlands now, but I doubt it was there in force, if at all, that long ago. Variance is higher over in Hungary, Czech Republic, but it is definitely highest in Poland. This is pure just speculating without trying to align with other kinds of evidence, but I'd guess moved into NW Europe from the SE Baltic coast along into Denmark/Saxony and then from there spreading across into the Scandinavian Peninsula, the Isles and down into Germany. Have you changed your mind on that? No. I haven't really changed positions. I'm just investigating alternatives. I think that if Bell Beakers came out of the west and if they are timed about right with P312, then L11* and U106 must also be considered as they are all close in age. That's all. I don't know where U106 originated, nor P312. Nothing new about that. If I had to bet, I'd bet that U106 came from Poland into Germany and the Jutland before going to Scandinavia Peninsula. Where U106 came from before that I don't know. I think the Alpine area up through Austria and the Czech Rep is an option as well as two others. A second would be from Hungarian plains and Slovakia up the west side of the Carpathians. A third would be from the Ukraine, Moldolva and Romania along the east side of the Carpathians. I'm intrigued most with the path through the Ukraine as that aligns with Anthony's pre-Germanic IE and involved integration of cultures (and possibly Hg I and R1a1.) Probably my last choice of these three would be up directly from the Alpine area. I'll check out U106 STR variance again by geography. I'm a little more leery of that though, just because of the points that Busby made about insignificant differences across Europe for all of R-11 - the "Busby blob." I actually think the "Busby blob" is an important point, but my emphasis is that there were no large gene differences (Y DNA wise) between R-L11*, U106*, Z381, Z18, P312*, Z196, L21, U152*, L2 back in the time of their spread. They happened in rapid-fire succession. If you look at their distribution as a whole you see a coastal and riverine bias with a cline to the north and then more extensively to the west. We have much greater subclade resolution than we did a few of months ago. That may help sort out the geographical variance a little more reliability. Wow! The differentiation in variance is even stronger. Eastern Europe looks like a winner. I wasn't doing this in round 1 and 2 I don't think, but now I'm selecting only the 36 STRs (out of 67) that match the >7K yrs linear qualities according to Marko Heinila's work. ... We have much greater subclade resolution than we did a few of months ago. That may help sort out the geographical variance a little more reliability. I need to look at Z381, Z18 and U106* east of Germany/Austria/Italy a little better. It could be that there is just a better balanced mix of these subclades driving the higher variance. However, the other side of that coin is that higher high level subclade diversity is in an indicator in and of itself. EDIT: I just looked at the subclades of U106 east of Germany. There is not enough there to do an analysis. Most of the haplotypes are U106 undifferentiated. I think we have go with the probability U106 there is older. There will be some argument about back migration of religious groups, etc. but how can a target area be older than the source? These variance numbers are a strike against U106 coming from SE France/Alpine area but the caveat is that we only have 21 67 STR haplotypes. What does Myres or Balaresque show about coalescence times for U106 by geography? Oh, one more thing... just to throw another cat with the pigeons. Look at the variance between Nordic Countries (includes Denmark) and the rest. I don't think U106 got there early. Any chance they U106 didn't actually move into Sweden and Norway until about the times as the Anglo-Saxons coming into England? It was just all apart of spillage from the Low Countries and the neck of the Jutland. East of Germany does still look like the higher variance. (correction, they are all pretty close.) Ironically, I trust our DNA project long haplotypes and higher count of haplotypes rather than the academics'. I'd love to see a bunch more U106 haplotypes from Switzerland and Austria. I just don't think we have enough to say that wasn't the path for U106. If you look at U106 purely from a variance point of view, it kind of looks like it got up to the SE Baltic Coast, gathered up there and then and rolled straight west along the coast through the neck of Jutland, the Low Countries and on to England. It seems like going north into Scandinavia and south into Germany were just tangential off-shots of the movement. Alan, or anybody, does this map with any cultural movements? The Anglo-Saxons would just be the last step. What about the East Midlands of England? The frequency maps seem to show U106 slightly lower there than most of England. Does this align with Dane vs Anglo vs Saxon vs Jute or some other kind of movement? Still, U106 in Austria/Switz unexplained though. Any cultural movements from Poland south? I'm still not switching any positions... just investigating. LOL. The southwestern extent of Corded Ware had a presence in Switzerland which might be a possibility. East of Germany does still look like the higher variance. Ironically, I trust our DNA project long haplotypes and higher count of haplotypes rather than the academics'. The east midlands of England were heavily settled by Angles during the Anglo-Saxon period. It developed into the Anglian kingdom of Mercia. If the U106 variance there is in fact lower, it could suggest a presence of U106 in England prior to the Angles. This area was also settled to an unknown extent by Danes during the Viking age. It has generally been agreed that it isn't currently possible to distinguish Angles from Danes genetically. I also find it interesting that U106 variance is higher in England than in Denmark. When discussing Poland, one has to very careful. It was not a country with set borders for many centuries, and existed only as a geographical description. The present day borders of Poland do not correspond with its pre-war borders. After WWII, the Soviets annexed the eastern half of Poland, and the easternmost provinces of Germany east of the Oder and Neise rivers were awarded to Poland. Current day Poland includes the former German provinces of East and West Prussia, Silesia and most of Pomerania. These areas, inhabited by various Baltic and Slavic tribes, were heavily settled by Germans in the middle ages. If you have someone with ancestry in East Prussia with a German surname, it would probably show up as Poland, even though their ultimate ancestry might very well be from Rhineland. There has also been significant German migration into Poland proper in historic times. To get an accurate picture of Poland, one would have to filter out all the German surnames, especially those from the areas which were essentially German from the 13th century to 1945. .....

Does this align with Dane vs Angle vs Saxon vs Jute or some other kind of movement? My question about East Midlands was not prompted by U106 variance, but rather by U106 frequency. In the latest maps there appears to be a drop off in U106 in the East Midlands. Maybe we are finding some differences between "old" Danes and "old" Angles. If this was an area hit hard by the Danes, this might support my earlier speculation. If U106 was in the Jutland area for a long time then I find it very hard to believe more didn't leak across the North Sea into the British Isles. It doesn't look like it did get to England earlier than the Anglo-Saxon era because U106 is nicely relegated to England and did not disperse across the Isles well. Examining U198 brought this issue to light for me. The speculation then follows that U106 was east or southeast of the Jutland (and its neck) and the Low Countries until something triggered U106 to push from the east along the Baltic to the Jutland and straight west into England. Part of that push caused U106 overflow up the Jutland and into the Scandinavia Peninsula. U106 was hitting Scandinavia in earnest at about or only slighly before hitting England. Maybe the original Norse are a bit different. Come to think of it. If U106 was with the Vikings to a great degree shouldn't there be more U106 than R1a1 along the Viking contact areas of Scotland and Ireland? We don't see that do we? How come we see a nice of I1 in French Brittany where Vikings hit, but not much U106? Perhaps U106 had not yet made it's biggest mark in Scandinavia as the Viking times got going. I never did understand how Balto-Slavic Scandinavians tied in with Germanic speaking folks. As far as a cat for the English pigeons, does this mess up the lore of the English language and Beowulf and all of that? In other words, the "old" Angles really don't have anything to do with Beowulf, it was just recorded in their language. ...When discussing Poland, one has to very careful.

To get an accurate picture of Poland, one would have to filter out all the German surnames, especially those from the areas which were essentially German from the 13th century to 1945. Prussia is one of my problem areas. People often list MDKA's from old Prussia or old Austria that are a bit hard to figure out. However, all people that I classify in the Haplotype Data spreadsheets, I try to track to the province/county/dept, etc. As I do that, I use modern political boundaries (other than Ulster Ireland.) If a MDKA is in Alsace-Lorraine or Western Poland they may actually have a German lineage. I don't track that. I just track their actual location so Poland is Poland as we know it. Yes, there is the question about higher variance in Poland, the Baltic Countries, Ukraine, etc. Are these just people from west to east migrations? Of course, they could be but I think that leads to two other inquiries. How can diversity be higher in a target location than in a source? Wouldn't that take years of migrations from multiple sources for that to happen? I'm not sure if historic period German settlement expansion or religious disaporas are enough to drive up high diversity. I don't think they are. Was the Rhineland completely vacated at some point? If so, then perhaps that is the answer. The next inquiry is a little thornier or at least more sensitive. What are the origins of particular endogamous religious groups? You've got at least three choices right off the top - the Near East, the Rhine and the Khazars. Two of those choices put you back in Central Asia or the Near East. U106 in the east and also U152 are critical to understand. The one group of U153, Z56, that is causing interclade calculation problems, has some relations to religious diasporas. Probably need to understand the Bashkirs better too. This is intended for archaeologists, historians or anyone trying to line up R-L11 subclades with ancient migrations. I extended the Generations7 (Ken Nordtvedt) output to display one and two sigma ranges graphically (in a rough way.) I then ran calculations for most of the major subclades of R-L11 and drilled down a bit more on R-L21. I am joining that group so I can view it. By the way I have to say you, the unbelievable energy you have shown with your constant providing of analysis and Rich chasing people to test etc have shown in the pursuit of the DNA truth terms of P312 etc is a case of never has so much been owed by so many to so few. Its good to see a bit more traffic on this site again because its been important.

Kate Heartfield Interviews with me about writing Hey, I'm teaching an online course in opinion writing! And you can take it! by Kate Heartfield on Oct 07, 2016 October 7, 2016 Detail from William Hogarth's The Distrest Poet I spent 11 years on the editorial board of the Ottawa Citizen, the final two as editor of the editorial pages, and by the end of it, I was full of opinions about …. well, how to write opinion. I've seen wimpy ledes and shaky premises and pitch letters you wouldn't believe. And I've seen wonderful people write beautiful things that have stuck with me, that changed the way I see the world. People entrusted me with op-eds that it was my great privilege to publish: when the late Eric McGuinness, for example, asked me if he could write about about his approaching death from cancer, I had one of those moments when the world stopped moving and I knew, just for a moment, that what we were doing mattered, that it was significant. Because it is significant, to write what we think down and ask other people to consider it. Writing opinion isn't all hot takes and clickbait — although that can be fun too. It's a way to speak to the world, and that's huge. I've been a mentor/editor for many years for The OpEd Project and for Informed Opinions, both organizations that train and encourage women and other marginalized people to write op-eds and voice their opinions. I've given a lot of thought to the demographic skew in opinion writing, and what we as writers and editors can do about it. I've thought a lot about the unspoken codes, the self-rejecting, the snobbery of academic peers, the valid fear of hateful blowback, that prevents many thoughtful, informed people from writing for the public. And I've thought a lot about what makes a good opinion piece. As I left my full-time newspaper career in 2015, it was gratifying to be shortlisted for the National Newspaper Award for editorial writing. It was a nice bit of external validation, a sign that yep, I know how to do this. I don't know whether I'll ever be a great opinion writer, but I know backwards and forwards how to be a good one. The fundamentals and I have become close friends. So now that I've left that world (except for my regular column at the Citizen and the occasional piece elsewhere), I have found myself wanting to teach. I'm thrilled to be teaching a graduate seminar in advanced writing and reporting techniques at Carleton University. That course will include some opinion writing, among other things. I'm also teaching a course for an open audience in early 2017: no experience required. It's entirely online, at the Loft Literary Center. It runs six weeks and you don't have to be online at any particular times (I will be online for a live chat every week but that's optional). There will be feedback but no grades. By the end of it, you'll have an op-ed ready to submit, and a plan for how and where to pitch it. Here are some of the people I can imagine benefiting from this course: Academics who'd like to write more op-eds Advocates, activists, staff at think tanks or non-profits Fiction writers who also write guest blog posts or essays Freelance writers who'd like to add opinion writing as a source of income Op-ed writers who'd like to increase their rate of acceptance Registration is open now, and I've been working on the course material. I think it's going to be fun. Kate Heartfield is a writer of speculative fiction and games in Ottawa, Canada. She's also an editor and teacher.

Q: Traverse FQL Result on PHP I'am having a lot of issues understanding how json works. I create a FQL query to Facebook and I receive the correct response, but I just can't seem to parse it. This is what I get { "data": [ { "value": { "M.25-34": 3392, "M.35-44": 2601, "M.45-54": 1675, "M.55-64": 863, "M.18-24": 625, "M.65+": 552, "F.25-34": 531, "F.35-44": 328, "F.45-54": 159, "M.13-17": 119, "F.18-24": 104, "F.55-64": 74, "F.65+": 51, "F.13-17": 35, "U.45-54": 8, "U.35-44": 3, "U.25-34": 2, "U.65+": 1 }, "metric": "page_fans_gender_age" } ] } And I need to traverse the array with the values. But I not only need the values, but the "key" part as well. I would like to be able to create a graph with it so I need both key+value. I have tried: $fqlResult = $facebook->api($param); echo $fqlResult[0]["M.25-34"]; And also json_encode($fqlResult) or json_decode($fqlResult) but no available. How can I get the key->value pairs? EDIT I eventually managed to get the inner array values. However it seems too harcoded. I plainly took the first element of the data array and traverse it. foreach($fqlResult[0] as $theKey => $theValue){ if(is_array($theValue)){ foreach($theValue as $theKey2 => $theValue2){ echo("The key2: " . $theKey2 . " The value2: " . $theValue2 . "<BR>"); }// 2 level }// if array }// 1 level It does the trick. Maybe there can be a better way to do it? Thanks A: while($element = current($fqlResult[0])) { echo "key: " . key($array); echo "-> value: " . $element . "\n"; next($array); } Prints all key -> value pairs inside $fqlResult[0].

How Analytics and Data Management Guided Universities Through the Pandemic IT and analytics teams have had their time to shine during the past 18 months, as they integrated systems, built dashboards and tackled data governance challenges in order to provide the information needed to keep the campus community safe. Planning for the Classroom of the Future The right combination of technology and training will ensure your learning spaces can adapt to ever-changing modes of instruction. Here are key considerations for future-proofing classrooms, supporting faculty and surviving the next pandemic. IT Leaders Concerned About New Cloud Storage Limits With many cloud storage and collaboration vendors implementing limits on free storage, colleges and universities are grappling with the impact on IT. Native American Students Build STEM Skills While Exploring Their Cultural Stories with VR/AR Design Projects Through a $1.5million, four-year NSF grant, Oklahoma State University researchers are leveraging their earlier work with proven, college-level design courses that incorporate VR, AR, and 3D printing technologies. But this time, they are helping underserved Native American middle school students develop STEM skills. 3 Strategies for Better Meetings As the format of your meetings evolves, make sure you have engagement and flexibility, advises Joseph Allen, University of Utah professor and co-author of the books Suddenly Virtual and Suddenly Hybrid. Embracing Innovation, Technology and Culture Change for the Sake of Access The pandemic accelerated digital transformation and the adoption of new learning models at many colleges and universities — but higher ed culture has some catching up to do. While institutions traditionally measure change in decades, we're now in a time when flexibility, innovation and risk-taking are key to student access and opportunity as well as institutional survival. We spoke with Dr. Mark Lombardi, president of Maryville University, about why the business model of higher ed is broken, the importance of lifelong learning and technology's role in moving universities toward a better future. 3 Keys to Creating Inclusive Learning Opportunities As simulations gain traction in both in-person and remote classrooms, a multimedia author explains how he ensures they speak to all students. "The Rise of Social Media" — Ponderings from a 3-Credit Course Gardner Campbell has been teaching a new course this fall called "The Rise of Social Media," in which he and his students explore the history, trends, and perhaps even the future of what we now call social media. Here, CT asks Campbell for some early insights from the time he's spent with classes so far. Changing the Landscape: Should Higher Ed Build Classrooms Outdoors? Outdoor spaces have been a boon to the continuity of teaching and learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, offering a solution to safety and social distancing concerns. But they also hold potential for new pedagogical approaches that can improve the student experience. Why AI Needs the Liberal Arts Colby College in Maine is investing $30 million to create the Davis Institute for Artificial Intelligence, the first cross-disciplinary institute for AI at a liberal arts institution. Among its goals: utilizing AI to transform teaching, learning and research in a wide variety of disciplines. Yet it's not just about how AI can inform the liberal arts, according to Amanda Stent, inaugural director of the Davis Institute. It's also about how a liberal arts perspective can bring about a better understanding of whether, how, and in what ways the use of AI can benefit — or harm — our society.

Commentary Home Russia's challenge to Christian unity By Phil Lawler ( bio - articles - email ) | Sep 28, 2010 The Catholic-Orthodox theological discussions, taking place in Vienna this week, hit a snag when the leader of the Russian Orthodox delegation lodged an emphatic dissent against the consensus that the early, undivided Church recognized the primacy of the Bishop of Rome. Shop: Roman Catholic "RC" Brand Original White Logo Collection Premium Tee | Multiple colors and sizes available! That position is a definite deal-breaker, because the theme for discussion at this session of the joint theological commission is the understanding of papal primacy during the first Christian millennium—that is, prior to the schism that split the Christian world into East and West. The head of the Russian delegation, Metropolitan Hilarion, argued that the primacy of the Bishop of Rome had never been recognized in the East. If that's the case, the entire discussion is moot. It's ironic that such an objection would be lodged by the Moscow Patriarchate, rather than one of the older Orthodox bodies. The Russian Orthodox Church traces its origin back to 988, when Prince Vladimir I made Christianity the official religion of his people. Thus the Russian Orthodox Church entered the Christian world at the tail end of the 1st millennium, and cannot claim any institutional memory of relations with Rome were handled in the early centuries. Nevertheless a Russian prelate is certainly entitled to his opinions on the history of Eastern Christianity. Moreover, the opinions of the Moscow Patriarchate cannot be lightly dismissed. The Russian Orthodox Church is by far the largest of the Eastern churches. Any movement to restore Christian unity must include the Russian Church; without Russia, the Christian world would remain dramatically divided, East from West. Relations between Moscow and Rome have improved markedly during the past 5 years, and Vatican officials specializing in ecumenical affairs see real promise for closer ties. But relations between Moscow and the other major Orthodox patriarchates have been troubled recently. The Russian delegation walked out of the last previous round of Catholic-Orthodox theological talks-- not because of any Catholic-Orthodox dispute, but because of a quarrel between Moscow and Constantinople over the seating of an Orthodox delegation from Estonia. The Moscow Patriarchate has frequently challenged claims that the Patriarch of Constantinople should be recognized as the arbiter of disputes among Orthodox prelates. There is a pattern here. Other Eastern churches agree that the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople has a certain degree of authority over other Orthodox patriarchs—not as a superior, but as a "first among equals. The Moscow Patriarchate objects to that understanding. Other Orthodox churches recognize that in the 1st millennium, before the East-West schism, the Bishop of Rome enjoyed some authority over other bishops—although the extent of that authority is still subject to discussion. But Moscow rejects the premise on which the discussion is based. In short, Moscow rejects claims that any other Christian prelate, in Rome or in Constantinople, has any authority over Russia. Moscow's stand on these questions sounds unfamiliar to the Catholic ear, and unhelpful to the cause of ecumenism. But it is consistent with other arguments that have been raised on a regular basis by the Moscow Patriarchate—such as, for example, the complaint that Catholics are meddling in the "canonical territory" of the Russian Orthodox Church when they try to evangelize in Russia or even in neighboring Ukraine. The Russian hierarchy takes a proprietary interest in the welfare of Christianity within the geography boundaries that is has traditionally controlled, and jealously defends against efforts by any other Christian body to establish authority within or beyond those boundaries. This is not an entirely unreasonable stance. The Catholic Church also teaches that a diocesan bishop has both the authority and the matching responsibility for the welfare of the faithful within his diocese. The Roman Pontiff has a measure of supervisory responsibility for that diocesan bishop, but it is the bishop to whom the local faithful should look for leadership. What's more, the bishop is responsible not just for the welfare of Roman Catholics who are registered in the parishes of his diocese, but for all of the local Christian community. If Russian Orthodox bishops claim the same jurisdiction, accepting their own moral responsibility for the souls living within their geographical limits of their dioceses, Catholics will have a hard time finding a logically consistent objection. In fact we might applaud their willingness to accept responsibility for evangelizing the people within their regions (if that is what they are doing). Why, then, does the claim of the Russian Orthodox Church sound so strange to us Catholics? At least in part, the question really can be reduced to one of geography. The Russian Orthodox Church is perfectly willing to accept the authority of the Holy See over those expatriate Catholics who happen to be living in Russia today, having been baptized into the Catholic Church elsewhere. The tension arises when the Catholic Church in Russia's "canonical territory" welcomes new members who have not previously been affiliated with any religious community. From the Catholic perspective these are converts: souls newly won for Christ. From the Russian Orthodox perspective they are Russians, and so it follows (again, from the Orthodox perspective) that if they are won for the Christian faith, they should become members of the Russian Orthodox Church. The question of "canonical territory" is at the heart of the matter. The Holy See, while acutely sensitive to other complaints from Moscow, has resolutely rejected the idea that Russia (let alone Ukraine) can be classified as the "canonical territory" of the Moscow Patriarchate. Geography and theology do not make for stable mixtures. National boundaries change. Ethnic alliances change. Christ's Church endures. The ancient Christian patriarchates of Alexandria and Antioch were not national or regional churches, but local communities belonging to a universal Church. The Church of Rome, remember, was founded in Jerusalem. The history of the Russian Orthodox Church, established by a Slavic prince, suggests an entirely different model: a model for a Church that is not merely located in Russia, not merely the Russian manifestation of a universal Church, but specifically a Russian Church. How can that Russian model be reconciled with the understanding of a universal Church, founded by the apostles (not the tsars) and dedicated to the universal mission of evangelization? I don't know the answer to that question. I do know that the question must be answered before we can restore the unity of all Christ's faithful. Phil Lawler has been a Catholic journalist for more than 30 years. He has edited several Catholic magazines and written eight books. Founder of Catholic World News, he is the news director and lead analyst at CatholicCulture.org. See full bio. Posted by: - Oct. 03, 2010 6:14 AM ET USA I don't think there's necessarily any inconsistency about a bishop's authority in his own territory. A diocesan bishop cannot morally bind a member of a religious order, can he? Even if the order resides within his geographical bound, the morally binding job belongs to the order's superior, doesn't it? So it goes here. I can understand the prelates' angst that someone might choose Roman Catholicism over Russian Orthodoxy, but we do believe that God guides us each in his own way, don't we? Posted by: MatthewG - Sep. 30, 2010 10:07 AM ET USA This is a helpful analysis of the problem. It's a good reminder that ecumenical dialog is not just a matter of hashing out theological disagreements about specific doctrines, but also an attempt to build bridges and establish a basic unity among different paradigms that go beyond the strictly religious, including the realm of politics, culture, philosophy, etc. It can be an extraordinarily delicate and difficult task. Christian unity will only be achieved through God's grace. Let us pray... Free eBook: Defining Issues

Home/Music News/ Armani White thinks his mom will finally understand his career after watching him on ABC's 'New Year's Rockin' Eve' ABC/Randy Holmes Armani White is set to ring in 2023 on ABC's Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest and, while he's excited for the main event, he predicts it'll finally help his mom "understand" what he does for a living. "My mom doesn't really understand my career," he told ABC Audio during rehearsals for NYRE, adding with a laugh he anticipates that will change once he's on the stage. "It's like those type of moments where I get to be like, 'See? Look! I'm doing it!'" Armani also reflected on why he's thankful his song "Billie Eilish" is his breakout hit, which earned him his first Gold plaque from the RIAA. "I got to reach these heights by still being myself and I think that's really unique in this industry," he explained. The rapper added, "Sometimes, it's like a lot of people have to kind of conform. I'm just being really goofy… I'm just having fun. I'm just being exactly who I am with this song and that was the one that took off." As for what he wants to see in 2023, Armani declared, "What I want is Grammys. More Billboard hits, more chart singles, more Platinum plaques. I just got my first plaque this year and that was really cool… I want more of those trophies and I'm going to do a lot more work to get them." To sum it up, Armani says he hopes to triple the success he had in 2022 so he can fulfill his resolution on becoming "the biggest artist in the world!" Catch Armani perform on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest, which begins airing December 31 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

It was one of my chefs' ideas to call this billionaire's shortbread – because millionaire's shortbread is simply not a good enough name for this one. It certainly packs a high calorific value. It will definitely keep anyone at home happy for a few hours, as they won't be wanting anything else. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease and line the base and sides of a 30 x 23cm traybake tin. To make the shortbread, mix the butter and sugar together in a bowl with an electric whisk until softened and lightened in colour. Add the egg and whisk together, then fold in the cornflour and plain flour to form a soft dough. Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead very gently until smooth. Press into the base of the prepared tin, spreading it evenly into the corners. Prick all over with a fork, then place in the fridge to rest for 15 minutes. Bake for about 25 minutes until just lightly coloured and firm to the touch. Meanwhile, make the topping. Put the caster sugar into a frying pan and heat gently, without stirring, until the sugar turns golden-brown and liquid. Whisk in the cream and cook until thickened and smooth, then whisk in the peanut butter – you want a thick, light golden-brown mixture. Remove from the heat and leave to cool until the shortbread is out of the oven. Pour the caramel over the shortbread, spreading it to the edges so there's an even layer, then set aside to cool for at least 1 hour. Put the chocolate into a bowl set over a pan of simmering water until it has melted. Pour three-quarters of the chocolate over the cooled caramel topping, tipping the tray so that it coats all the caramel. Set aside at room temperature to cool for 30 minutes, then drizzle the remaining chocolate over the top. Set the tray aside until the chocolate has set – at least 1 hour. Lift the shortbread out of the tin by the edge of the silicone paper, and cut into triangles to serve.

But we've been sold hype all our lives and this is how it plays out. What counts as good and bad. What counts as acceptable and unacceptable. What will have you included and excluded. Which boxes to tick to be counted as good. All of which our ego attaches to and desperately works at to play the game, to be included, to be rewarded and praised. A game we've been taught. A game we've been taught is the way to stay included, safe and OK. A game which will stop us experiencing sadness or upset. A game which we think will keep us alive. And our ego plays its heart out because it's desperate to be accepted, to be good enough, to fill the empty space. Keep playing the game. And yet it still doesn't feel OK. And things go "wrong" and then it definitely doesn't feel OK because it was taught that sadness and tears were things to be avoided. And it remembers – in body and mind – the times it's been told it's not good enough. That it's not OK. And the hurt. So it denies and ignores those feelings and memories and tries to be positive and look on the bright side and to work hard to get the stuff that it's been told will make it happy. and it gets there and is happy for a while with the glow of the stuff. And the glow fades and the emptiness returns and the cycle begins again. Because without a true belief that it's good enough, it can never truly be kind to itself. That deep disbelief that it really is worth love or happiness or contentment just can't be worked or bought or drunk or eaten or friend-ed away. And so sadness and suffering prevail and the masking behaviours come back because that's all it knows. Isn't it crazy then to discover this game of life doesn't matter. That playing the game isn't the thing that keeps us alive, or not. We can still play it, we can still enjoy it, we can still "do well" at it – whatever your measure of "doing well" is. But it doesn't matter. It doesn't determine your good-enoughness or your OK-ness. We're all OK just as we are. We always have been. But we forgot. Maybe we've all been believing the hype?

K6APW CA Jim says - S6 noise with poor path from OK. Only CW deciphered was the last minute. WC S9+ with very annoying deep dips. K6OQK CA Burt says - Rats!!! Sorry I missed your run. I had some time sensitive things that needed to be done. I was looking forward to this weeks "Dual" FMT to try a modification to my technique. I had everything running and arrived at home just as Marv was doing the Call Up. K6YAZ CA Stuart says - This was my first use of Spectrum Lab to determine fine offsets with Doppler. It will take some more experience until I am comfortable with it's use. The measured offset between the two carriers was measured as 6.29 Hz. The K5CM signal on 80 meters was quite weak last night. As usual; I set the HP 3586 as close to frequency on the main carrier but used Spectrum Lab to generate an error frequency. KM1P MA Joe says - I could clearly see sidebands of the beat frequency above and below the two carriers. If I average their offsets with the difference between the two carriers I get 3555706.189 ... super corrected? Not sure if that will help or hurt as it was difficult to see a distinct peak in the sidebands. N5PWG TX Jay says - K5CM good sig. WC rather weak. I do not measure simultaneous frequencies. My measurement of "A" alone involves these corrections: 1) receiver dial calibration- from WWV observation prior to the test - 2)Doppler correction- from WWV observation immediately before and after FMT. 3) final correction based on the published value of "A" VE2IQ ON Bill says - Less static tonight but my lines aren't so straight. I counted 1131 complete beat cycles which took 1490358 samples at 8200.398 samples per second. So the computed beat note freq was 6.223 Hz. Thanks for the exercise! W1PW AZ Phil says - Sigs were good tonight. Doppler didn't seem too bad. Thanks again Connie and Marvin for these challenging tests! 73! W3CSW MD Bill says - Thanks Connie. Good S9 signal with S7-8 QRN levels and plenty of Doppler. W3JW VA Jeff says - Signal strength conditions were above average and QRN was less than the 18 JUL test. Doppler effects (as observed on SL waterfall display) were significant but not as severe as recent tests. Most results were obtained with SpecLab. Was able to make valid counter measurements only on the signal B keydown signal. W6OQI CA Marvin says - I need to do some practice on the 2 frequency test. Tonight I failed to get both frequencies within my SL 10 Hz window. I have submitted what I believe to be frequency B. Though there is a chance of big error due to failing to log the frequency of my HP 3586B after retuning a little. Next week I hope to do a better job of logging the numbers. WB0LXZ KS Bill says - I tried to use Spec Lab; but 30 seconds before test chickened out and went back to ARGO. TNX. VE3OAT ON Wow, that's hard! Lets do it agan! In this example I took the wave file generated by Joe, KM1P in Boston. I re-played it with Spectrum Lab and did a capture. I added some markings with Photo Shop. As in last weeks file, it is not important to know any details form Joe as to what frequency his receiver was on. By definition it is know that Signal A is on 3555700. I looked for and found a spot when both signals A and B looked the same (top trace). Notice the two distinct peaks and the surrounding area look the same. I measured the difference between the two points, to be 6.223Hz. Add 3555700 to 6.223 to get the frequency of signal B 3555706.223 Hz, off from the true frequency by 0 Hz. Even thought A and B are only a few Hz apart there are still times when they are not peaking exactly at the same difference frequency. Its important to look for the best time to measure the difference rather than simply do an average of the entire time period. If no similar areas can be found then of course average the entire time period. Notice that the difference between A and B changes very little, over this selected one minute period. See Burt's capture of W6OQI. Would this be analogous to shooting FMT fish in a barrel ....... (Burt is about 8 miles from Marvin). Both Bill and Brad turned in impressive "corrected" readings this week. When we see a few weeks of consistency, we will widen the span of A and B.

Colin Chapman's first, gawkiest Lotus headed to auction The first home-built racer to wear the Lotus badge, this 1951 Mark IIIB will cross the block at Amelia Island next month. By Bob Sorokanich Check out this funny-lookin' little guy, all positive camber, cartoonish grin, and spindly motorcycle fenders. You'd probably guess it was built in a shed by some enterprising do-it-yourselfer, and you'd be correct. But you probably wouldn't guess that this was the first car to wear the vaunted Lotus badge. Yes, this garden tractor with a hot rod stance is the very first car built and sold by Colin Chapman, though as the name Mark IIIB indicates, it wasn't the first car Chapman constructed. In 1951, Chapman partnered with brothers Michael and Nigel Allen to build their own Austin Seven-based racers for the 750 Formula class. The design they came up with, a boxed Austin Seven frame on a split I-beam front axle from a Ford sedan, was dubbed the Mark III—making Chapman's previous two homebrew racers the Mark I and II, respectively. The Mark III ran away with victory after victory, and not long thereafter Chapman had his first interested customer, a Dunlop Tyre employee and racer named Adam Currie. Currie convinced Chapman to build him a similar Mark III—Chapman and the Allen brothers had intended to build three such vehicles, one for each of them, but they'd only completed one. So Chapman assembled the amassed parts into a complete vehicle, dubbed it the Mark IIIB owing to its upgraded 1172-cc Ford flathead four-banger, and sold it to Currie, wearing the now-famous Lotus badge. You know the rest, basically: Chapman's car-building career took off, with Lotus becoming a major name in both street cars and racing chassis, all wearing the famed badge that first appeared on this spindly first-gen racer. As for the Mark IIIB? Affectionately known as "ONK" after its license plate—ONK 408—it made its on-track debut at Silverstone in October 1952, putting in stellar performances in 1952 and 1953 with both Currie and Chapman behind the wheel. It changed hands in 1953, and again in 1958, before being located by a collector and restored to its original condition in 1994. When ONK goes across the auction block at Amelia Island on March 3rd, it's expected to fetch between $250,000 and $450,000. That's a far cry from the roughly $700 Currie sold it for in 1953. But it's the price to pay if you want to have the absolute original Lotus. via Hemmings Bob Sorokanich DEPUTY EDITOR, ROAD & TRACK MAGAZINE Bob Sorokanich is Deputy Editor of Road & Track Magazine.

The president also said that Tehran's nuclear program would represent a "profound" national-security threat to the United States even if Israel were not a target of Iran's violent rhetoric, and he dismissed the argument that the United States could successfully contain a nuclear Iran. "You're talking about the most volatile region in the world," he said. "It will not be tolerable to a number of states in that region for Iran to have a nuclear weapon and them not to have a nuclear weapon. Iran is known to sponsor terrorist organizations, so the threat of proliferation becomes that much more severe." He went on to say, "The dangers of an Iran getting nuclear weapons that then leads to a free-for-all in the Middle East is something that I think would be very dangerous for the world." Obama also pointed out that "the only way historically that a country has ultimately decided not to get nuclear weapons without constant military intervention has been when they themselves take [nuclear weapons] off the table." In other words, diplomacy has been more effective than military intervention. Even as his entire national security team told Trump that the agreement that was ultimately reached with Iran was working, he withdrew the U.S. from the accord and proceeded to impose unilateral sanctions on Iran—eventually leading to the administration's strategy of maximum pressure. After the assassination of Soleimani, Iran announced that it would no longer abide by the limits of the agreement, although they will continue to allow inspections. The situation we now face is that, according to French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, Iran could have nuclear weapons in one to two years. That is what prompted European Union foreign ministers to call for a rare emergency meeting on Friday afternoon. "Iran's desire to prevent the crisis from escalating has bought us some time, it has the effect of cooling this down just a little," a senior EU diplomat told Reuters news agency. Foreign ministers will receive a briefing on the latest situation in the region from NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg at Friday's meeting. On Monday, EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell tweeted his regret at Iran's decision to step away from more aspects of the nuclear deal, which, he said, was "now more important than ever". It appears that any diplomatic efforts to halt Iran's development of nuclear weapons will fall to the European Union. That's because, as we have seen from members of the Trump administration who are aligning our foreign policy with the Christian Zionists, their goal is to inflame a war with Iran. Similarly, Republican war hawks like Lindsey Graham and Tom Cotton view war with Iran as a means of accomplishing regime change. The pretext for both of those groups will be that we must stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons. As we saw when they attacked the agreement reached by the Obama administration, diplomacy threatens the goals that they want to achieve. If the diplomatic efforts of the European Union fail to stop Iran from restarting their nuclear weapons program, Donald Trump's presidency would have led us to the brink of two completely unacceptable options: A nuclear arms race in the Middle East, or A forever war with Iran For all of the ways that the president has damaged this country both at home and abroad, his decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear agreement might be the most consequential.

Bodog Pulls All US Advertising, Moves Global HQ to Antigua St. John's, Antigua and Barbuda Bodog.com Entertainment announced today a plan to pull all its U.S.-facing gaming-related advertising, mostly for its free-play and educational site, Bodog.net. The advertising pullback, which is quite extensive, includes television, radio, magazine and newspapers in the U.S. market as the online gaming giant has chosen instead to focus its gaming and educational site advertising efforts on European and Asian markets in a strategic decision based on the entertainment company's long-term business objectives. The digital entertainment powerhouse, which has become as well known for its television production, music distribution and other digital entertainment properties as it has for its world-class gaming enterprise, will continue to advertise its other digital entertainment products, including television, music and publishing, in North America and markets around the world. Bodog.com Founder Calvin Ayre, citing current uncertainties in the U.S. market, said the recent legislation passed by Congress was a reason behind the decision. "Though the online gaming environment in the U.S. seems to be headed down a path toward eventual regulation, the current climate calls for even more focus of our gaming-related advertising dollars into markets that face Europe and Asia," says the billionaire founder of Bodog.com Entertainment. "We couldn't be better positioned to build upon our current success and growth and to continue our aggressive push toward international expansion into markets such as Europe and Asia." Bodog.com's latest move should come as little surprise, as the digital entertainment company has been taking a multi-phased approach to expanding its product channels into international markets for the past several years, with Bodog Music and Bodog Television leading the way. Bodog's international music distribution division, Bodog Music, currently has offices in Berlin, London and other international destinations. Bodog Television shows, including BodogFight and Calvin Ayre Wild Card Poker, are being distributed worldwide on cable, satellite, PPV and broadband to countries such as Japan and other regions of the world, including North America and Europe. The latest announcement comes on the heels of Bodog.com Entertainment completing its relocation of its global head office and gaming operations from Costa Rica to Antigua. This was initiated as soon as Bodog.com acquired Betcorp's international infrastructure in mid-November. Bodog.com Entertainment will maintain offices in Costa Rica for some data entry as well as its charity foundation division and some of its television production division, which is working on or already producing four annual reality TV series. This content is distributed to millions of viewers around the world. "This is another step aimed toward strengthening our business model," Ayre says. "This accords our gaming division a license in a safe, reliable and well-regulated jurisdiction and Antigua is also the right jurisdiction from where to run our European expansion." The Calvin Ayre Foundation (CalvinAyreFoundation.com) will remain headquartered in Costa Rica and continue to provide support to disadvantaged locals, while continuing to lead various charitable initiatives in Costa Rica, North America and Asia. About Bodog.com Entertainment Group Bodog.com, with its head office located in the Caribbean nation of Antigua, is licensed in the United Kingdom and Kahnawake, Canada. Bodog.com Entertainment Founder Calvin Ayre, recognized as a world authority on branding in digital entertainment, was featured on the cover of Forbes magazine's recent best-selling "Billionaires" issue. Bodog.com also has a thriving online community, which includes history-making World Series of Poker Main Event champion Jamie Gold (http://www.bodog.com/poker). Bodog.com Entertainment offers a host of entertainment services, including: online gaming (Bodog.com); an international record label (BodogMusic.com); a million-dollar band search competition (BodogBattleoftheBands.com); a publishing division (with an online magazine, BodogNation.com, and blog, BodogBeat.com); an events department renowned for producing parties that are stunning, chic and celebrity-filled; and an international television production division, which produces reality television series, such as BodogFight (BodogFight.com) and Calvin Ayre Wild Card Poker (BodogTV.com).

Bodog Casino Awards $398k at Let Em Ride Let Em Ride is a popular, poker-based table game that gets a lot of attention because of the nature of the gameplay.

The Final Rose Slot Added to Bodog Mobile Bodog Casino is known for having a ton of different games from a variety of software providers.

Form & Function Design 2005 by Carolyn M. Brown May 1, 2005 December 3, 2008 897 McLurkin, who hopes the robots or at least the technology will travel to the Red Planet someday, served as lead research scientist on the Swarm project for the Boston-based robotics firm iRo bot. He focused primarily on systems-level design and software engineering, but he also had a say in the industrial design, particularly in human-swarm interaction. For example, the bumpskirt on the side of each microbot resembles the hood line of the Honda Prelude. Another striking feature is three large, spherical lights on top of the microbots that blink. "I was inspired by the Macintosh laptop, when they pulse their LAP power light, to go to sleep. … Information is encoded in the blinking pattern so you know what each robot is doing." His design philosophy is to elevate engineering to a high art, providing the perfect blend of form and function. "I care very much how things look and the feelings that they engender." —CMB MICHAEL J. BLYDEN, LONG BEACH, CA, ENGINEERING INTEGRATION SPECIALIST THE BOEING CO.: When you talk to Michael Blyden, you get the feeling he's sitting in his office with a pair of flight goggles dangling off his neck. The 48-year-old recipient of the 2005 Black Engineer of the Year award recalls a childhood trip to the airport where he got to sit in the cockpit of a DC-8 freighter airplane. The experience left his mind soaring. With his feet on the ground these days, Blyden is logging hours as an engineering design integration specialist for Boeing, the world's top aerospace firm. Blyden's work focuses on the Boeing C-17 Globemaste r, a massive aircraft currently used by the military for airlifting operations around the globe. C-17 transport planes can house more than 100 U.S. military paratroopers, large tactical vehicles, missiles, and other military weapons. With an estimated 200 projects going simultaneously, the C-17's design office operates like a direction clearinghouse, reviewing designs to ensure quality and help solve any technical problems that need tweaking. —AC COURTNEY SLOANE, NEW YORK PRINCIPAL, ALTERNATIVE DESIGN: Creating environments that tell stories is Courtney Sloane's design philosophy. This concept is exhibited in the 2,000-square-foot Manhattan high-rise office of former Roc-A-Fella Records CEO, Damon Dash. Dash is known for his big persona and his office follows suit. "It is overpowering for anyone who comes into the space. It is about volume. The scale of the furniture, the seating arrangement, everything was made to make you feel dwarfed. But there also is a subtle elegance about it." Blending art deco with modern styles, all elements were custom-designed for the suite, which includes a conference center, showroom, waiting area, and full bathroom. An aluminum "Dash" crest is part of the motif of an 8-foot aluminum and walnut desk with leather pulls. A 13-year veteran, Sloane, 43, has designed and created interiors for BET, Sony Music, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Queen Latifah. Set design is a recent foray. Sloane created the living quarters for the first two seasons of UPN's America's Next Top Model. She recently teamed Carolyn M. Brown

The Great Horned Owl, scientific name: Bubo virginianus, also known as the "winged tiger" measures 18-25 inches in length and has an average wingspan of 48 inches. The Great Horned Owl is a highly adaptable species and can be found in various climates throughout all of North America and some parts of South America as well. The owl is a non-migratory bird and travels based solely on the breeding season and the availability of prey. Great Horned Owls are largely nocturnal and begin hunting for small rodents, reptiles, amphibians, insects and even other birds at dusk. They are silent killers and can lift prey 2-3 times their own size. Smaller animals like rodents and lizards can be swallowed whole. Nesting season for the Great Horned Owl is January and February. The Great Horned owl pair do not build their own nests but instead utilize the nests of other birds and sometimes even squirrels. In these nests, the female owl will lay 3-4 eggs. The female takes full responsibility for incubating the eggs. Even though Great Horned Owls are solitary in nature, breeding pairs will often "haunt" their breeding ground for almost one year after their young leave the nest before they separate.

The crypt of San Matteo and mysterious believes History, Monuments / 11 October 2016 / By Redazione Insolitaitalia Home » History » Cripta di San Matteo e misteriose credenze The Crypt is the first unit in the building of the Cathedral. It hides mysterious believes, but let we see first when it was born and how it is. Since March 1081, the relics of San Matteo (Saint Matthew), of the martyr saints and of other saints were put down there as it is deduced by the several gravestones placed there, which demonstrate that on that date the building was already completed. The crypt, as we see it today, corresponds with the works carried out at the beginning of the 17th century by the architects Domenico Fontana and his son Giulio Cesare, who have exploited the centrality of the tomb of Saint Matthew, the holiest place of the entire church and around which all the other spaces rotate. The polychrome marble altar is enriched on both the sides with an elegant canopy. In the center of the double canopy, two twin statues of St. Matthew realized by Michelangelo Naccherino in 1606 are placed. The Saint is depicted while he is writing the Gospel with a book laid on his left knee and a pen in the right hand. At his side, an angel hands him an inkpot. In the crypt of the cathedral it is conserved the log on which, according to the tradition, the martyrs from Salerno, Gaius, Ante and Fortunato, were decapitated. Putting the ear on the block, it is still possible to hear the sound of blood that flows. Moreover, in the crypt there are two twin statues of Saint Matthew, placed from behind to one another so that the face of the saint is visible in both the spaces in which the crypt is divided. This has given rise to a common saying used to speak ill of the people of Salerno: it is said that they have 'two faces as Saint Matthew', referring to the duplicity in the human relationships. cripta di san matteoSalernoStoria Redazione Insolitaitalia NewerIl gusto semplice di Bellosguardo e dei suoi "bucatini ammullicati" OlderLa specialità di Cetara, un'erede del Garum La Chiesa di S.

Heart and Souls is an action packed paranormal bonanza. The unique story line and memorable characters kept me turning the pages. I loved Connie. The sassy, smart mouthed, yet sincere tough girl came from a rough child hood. Part of her bravado is a form of defense, but the other half is pure strong female. Something she needed to hold her job, hunting down criminals who steal souls. In this future, we've all taken a serum that gives us nine lives aka souls. See told you the concepts were interesting. While I enjoyed, the futuristic setting, I craved more. I wanted to read about the other changes, and differences, but the reader's view of the world was extremely narrow. Reaper, Mikon is placed with Connie as her partner. They're hunting an evil man who's stolen an unfathomable amount of souls. As they hunt him down, they discover things they thought they lost along the way. The chemistry between Mikon and Connie is electric, but I wanted more of the romance factor. With so much action, I felt their love story got a bit lost. I think with more length it could've been a better balance. GIVEAWAY: Ms. Corwin is giving away an Ecopy of her book. The TBR Pile is giving away an Ebook from our Prize List. TO ENTER: Comment below if you've read this author before and why you want to read Heart and Souls!

by ed Haponik © Copyright - ed Haponik / ed Haponik (634479103704) NC bassist ed Haponik's prog-pop, slaphappy solo debut. Rad. Genre: Rock: Progressive Rock 1. The Monster You Awoke 2. Wind and Spray 3. Ladybug 4. The Account of Joe 5. Delicate 6. All Alone 7. Paging Dr. K'Pow... 8. Divine Wind 9. Famous Blue Raincoat 10. Flower 11. Equinox 12. Knowing You 13. Instruments of Gravity 14. Paging Dr. K'Pow... [instrumental] Once upon a time, the role of a "bass" was to propel a song's harmony and keep time. That's good, hard work all by itself, but over the years, thousands of music's finest exponents have used electric and acoustic basses to develop and manipulate the fabric of song in more and more interesting ways. As a result of the tremendous efforts of artists like Charles Mingus, Stanley Clarke, Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, and innumerable others, the bass doesn't have to just be the underpinning anymore. It's liberated. It can be whatever it wants. It can even be THE WHOLE SONG. ed Haponik has decided to use this liberation to his advantage. His debut offering "Triceratops" is not only bass-driven... it's almost all bass. Within, there are basses that sound like basses, basses that you would swear are distorted six-string guitars, basses that sound like gurgling vats of oil, and the occasional bass that could be confused with a delicately rubbed water goblet. From a technical perspective, the bass-playing on this album is ambitious, full of slap and fingerstyle techniques that are rarely heard and explored in the guitar-driven world of rock... but even more ambitious is Haponik's apparent belief that you shouldn't really have to notice it to enjoy the music. The keyboard parts add some lush textures to the landscape; sometimes relaxed, sometimes frenetic. Haponik's dark, anti-tropical ukulele sound makes a cameo on "All Alone", and a Japanese shakuhachi is put to use on the surf-inspired "Wind and Spray". The lyrics, like the instrumentation, alternate between loving and apocalyptic, and ensure that each song on this CD will require multiple listenings. Like so many musicians, ed Haponik began his musical career at the piano. His switch to bass in high school was inevitable. It's a cool looking instrument and with only four strings compared with a guitar's six, it had to be easier, right? Unfortunately, nothing that serves as your primary vehicle of expression remains "easy" for long. He took his bass to Boston College and majored in music (his focus on composition there is audible, even in the prog-pop context of "Triceratops"). This album is the product of the years since his training; spent tinkering with ideas old and new, synthesized into an entity that sparkles with originality. ed Haponik composed and recorded this, his first solo-album almost entirely alone in a 6' x 6' walk-in closet-studio. It was recorded on a borrowed computer, serendipitously loaned to him by the "History Connect!" program of Durham Public Schools. Thomai Petropoulos 5 stars clearly means awesome! It's definitely different, something that you'd find in a movie's soundtrack. I think it's great and not something you could just stumble upon anywhere. Totally has an original sound to it. Stacy Gannaway ed Haponik shows his brilliance in this debut solo album. His musical talents are obvious and his manipulation of the bass gui-tar is inspirational. Songs such as "Ladybug," "All Alone" reveal a delicate, contemplative soul while "Paging Dr. Kapow" reflects his fun and developed musical pacing. It's Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat! Phenominal! This cd is amazing, such new and cutting edge technique. You will not find anything like it on the radio. It is a well needed change from the basis of most music out there today. Brilliant music! john haponik Beyond spectacular This album is unlike anything I have heard before. I really love this album and some of the tracks are intense. It's the most original music I have heard in the longest time

When we surveyed a panel of experts — along with visitors to Computerworld's Web site — to help identify the 20th century's most significant information technologies, they brought us face to face with an important reality: IT isn't just computers or software. It's all the technologies that over the past hundred years have changed the way we gather, move and use information. The IBM System 360. The IBM PC. Transistors. The photocopier. Television. Packet switching. The telephone. Credit cards. E-mail. The Web. What information technology products had the greatest impact on our lives and businesses over this century? We asked for input from people with a broad range of interests in technology — prominent CEOs, analysts, educators, attorneys and Computerworld readers. Their verdict: The earliest vacuum tubes, rotary phones and office copiers were as ingenious and significant — and their effects as unexpected — as today's smart phones, high-definition TV, the Web and Pentium III chips. "The fundamentals of technology advances are predictable — circuits per inch, bits per second, cost per megabyte — but the applications are not," says International Data Corp. analyst John Gantz, a member of our panel. "That's because human ingenuity is involved." The Electronic Numeric Integrator and Calculator (ENIAC) (1946) was the first large-scale, general-purpose electronic computer. Its offspring, the Univac I (1951), became a television star during the 1952 U.S. presidential election. But the mainframe that changed the face of computing and drew the most mentions from our panel of experts was the IBM System 360 (1964). Before IBM began work on the 360 in the early 1960s, every new model required new hardware and software. But the 360 was designed as a family of compatible machines. "The 360 provided broad-based computing with standards," says Max Hopper, consultant and president of Max D. Hopper Associates. And Kroger Co.'s Michael Heschel, says the 360 "opened mainframe computing to the world." But the 360 shares the spotlight with other key, large-scale computing innovations. The Hollerith paper punch card (1887) became a 20th-century mainstay of data storage — "the start of business systems analysis," says author and Computerworld columnist Paul A. Strassmann. The Manchester University Mark 1 (1948), affectionately known as "Baby," and John von Neumann's Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer (EDVAC, 1947), the first stored-program electronic computer, were early steps forward. The IBM 1401 (1959) was the first fully transistorized commercial computer. Digital Equipment Corp.'s PDP machines (1960) and IBM's Series 1 (1976) made departmental computing a reality. And Digital's VAX (1977) became the only real competitor to the 360 and its successors. Wang Laboratories Inc.'s word processing system (1971) brought computing power beyond the data center for the first time. Key storage innovations included magnetic storage (1949), the IBM Ramac (1957) and the Winchester hard disk (1973). Underlying them all was Alan Turing's 1936 conceptual model for all stored-program computing, the Turing machine. Personal Computer ( model 1984). IBM engineers designed the PC in a skunk works project in Boca Raton, Fla. — far from the center of IBM's mainframe-based universe in Armonk, N.Y. Cobbled together from standardized parts and borrowed ideas, the PC enjoyed instant success because of IBM's brand name — and its impact is a lasting legacy. The PC "put computing power on the business desktop," says MIT research scientist Jeanne Ross. It ultimately "revolutionized business information and its use," Heschel adds. Although the IBM PC was the desktop device most often cited by voters, there was no single machine that created desktop computing. Half a decade before the PC, electronics hobbyists could buy and build the MITS Altair (1975), the first microprocessor-based computer. The Apple II (1977), from Apple Computer Inc., was the first commercially successful off-the-shelf desktop computer. At Xerox Corp.'s Palo Alto Research Center (Parc), the Alto (1972) and Star (1981) workstations pioneered the use of the mouse and graphical user interfaces. They were "the foundation of graphical user interface computing and graphic displays," Strassmann says. And a 1979 visit to Parc by Apple's co-founder and now-interim CEO, Steve Jobs, led directly to Apple's Lisa (1983) and Macintosh (1984). The PC was built from standard parts — as was the Sun Microsystems Inc. workstation (1982) — and that standardization led to the creation of PC clones (1982). Portable PCs led to laptop computers and handhelds, including the now-ubiquitous 3Com Corp. Palm (1996). And home computers, including Atari Corp.'s Atari 2600 game machine (1977) and the Commodore 64 (1982) from Commodore Business Machines Inc., laid the groundwork for what would eventually be, as Erich Bloch, a fellow at the Council on Competitiveness puts it, "in every home and on every desktop — the universal appliance." The transistor (1947) may be tiny, but its importance dwarfs nearly every other technological advance in this century. When researchers at AT&T Corp.'s Bell Laboratories discovered that a chip of semiconductor could replace a vacuum tube (1907), the transistor became "the basis of all technologies in the second half of this century," Bloch says. The transistor was smaller, lighter, more durable and reliable than tubes, and it generated far less heat. Without it, "we'd be up to our ears in power plants to power all the triodes needed to fuel the Information Age," jokes Mark Pesce, chairman of the Interactive Media Program at the University of Southern California. And transistors just kept getting smaller — first to form integrated circuits (1959) and then microprocessors. The first commercial microprocessor, the Intel Corp. 4004 (1971), was designed to power a desktop calculator. Within a few years, a successor, the Intel 8080 (1974), was the brains behind the first desktop computer kit, the Altair. While Motorola Inc. and other vendors competed with Intel, IBM developed the first RISC processors (1974), whose offspring would eventually power workstations from Sun, Digital, Hewlett-Packard Co. and Silicon Graphics Inc. Gallium arsenide chips (1974) promised blazing speed for communications applications, even though they never cracked the mainstream processor market. Lasers (1960), once imagined as sci-fi death rays, got smaller, too — to become a core technology for both printers and communications. And although nanotechnology hasn't delivered its promise of molecular manufacturing, it may yet prove to be how a future generation of transistors is put to work. It wasn't the first xerographic copier; that was the Model A in 1949. But when the Xerox 914 — the first automatic, plain-paper office copier — appeared in 1959, it changed the face of information in businesses. "Copying led to the standardization of paper. Fax and scanning were based from the acceptance of photocopiers. It's the way we think of record-keeping," says Peter G.W. Keen, chairman of Keen Innovations, a Computerworld columnist and one of many voters to cite copiers. In Strassmann's words, the 914 "made everyone a printer." The fax machine itself, like the typewriter, dated from the 19th century. But both came into their own in 20th-century business. The electric typewriter (1933) gave way to the IBM Selectric (1961) and magnetic-card typewriters (1969). The Teletype teletypewriter (1920) made it practical to send typed information instantly across a wire and eventually found a place as a time-sharing computer peripheral. The first commercial laser printer, the Xerox 9700 (1978), began a steady march toward the widespread use of laser printing. And the flat-panel display offered the first step toward a screen as convenient as the Xerox copy. Is there any promise the World Wide Web can't fulfill? Ten years ago, it didn't exist. Last year, "it accounted for one-third of [U.S.] economic growth, according to the White House," says Robert Kahn, president of the Corporation for National Research Initiatives. "It has become telephone, loudspeaker, radio, television, cinema, phonograph, doctor, village square and lover," USC's Pesce argues. All this from an idea first suggested in August 1990 by researchers Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau at Switzerland's CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, who thought it would be useful for "document registration, online help [and] project documentation." By October, they had a prototype Web browser. By early 1993, there were 50 Web servers worldwide. Within 18 months, that number had increased thirtyfold and was growing too fast to be counted accurately. The nuts and bolts of the Web are now household words: HTML, URLs, browsers — especially Netscape Communications Corp.'s Navigator, which "made e-commerce serious business," Ross says. Of course, without the Arpanet network (1968), created by the U.S. Department of Defense to connect its researchers, and the TCP/IP protocol (1975) that gave the Internet its name, the Web would have no road to run on. But when the National Science Foundation opened the Internet to commercial use in 1991, no one could expect what the Web would ultimately become. Until the arrival of the Web, only one form of information technology could claim to have revolutionized 20th-century life. And broadcasting hardly seemed like a world beater in 1920 when Westinghouse Electric Co.'s station KDKA in Pittsburgh reported the U.S. presidential election returns during the first broadcast of a regularly transmitting commercial radio station. By 1924, there were 600 commercial radio stations — and the number grew so quickly that in 1927 the Federal Communications Commission was created to regulate them. Television began to come into its own in 1937, when the British Broadcasting Corp. began regular, electronic television broadcasts. The first transistor radio (1952) made portable wireless communications a practical reality and proved a commercial use for transistors. How far-reaching was broadcasting's effect? "It's how the country got homogenized and information was transmitted," says Gary Reback, an antitrust attorney at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. "This has enabled mass communications and changed most people's living and learning habits in profound and subtle ways," Kahn adds. "It brought world events to business and to the home," Heschel says. The wireless Morse code transmissions that Guglielmo Marconi demonstrated in 1901 were largely overwhelmed by the voice radio demonstrated five years later by Reginald Fessenden. Nonetheless, today wireless data networks and spread-spectrum technology transmit more data than voice despite the growth of mobile and cellular phones — "the fastest-adapted of all innovations," Keen says. Telegraphs had sent messages across wires since the early 19th century, and packet switching — a system for breaking messages into pieces and routing them automatically — was first proposed in 1961. When Bolt, Beranek &Newman developed the IMPS packet switch for Arpanet in 1968, modern networking became a possibility. But with Ethernet (1973), networking became a reality. Robert Metcalfe's system, tested at Xerox Parc, made it possible to connect large numbers of devices to a local network because each device "listened" before sending and detected when its messages collided with those of another sender. Ethernet was "the basis of a distributed computer architecture," Strassmann says. The 3Com EtherLink (1982) was the first network adapter card for the IBM PC. The Cisco Systems Inc. router (1986) added intelligence to the switches delivering messages between networks. And Asynchronous Transfer Mode made it practical to mix time-sensitive traffic such as voice and video over the same networks as ordinary data. The telephone, mentioned in some way by a third of our voters, was already having its impact on business communication and information technology by 1900. So, in fact, was the device that would launch the networking revolution more than half a century later: the Strowger telephone switch (1889). The story almost seems like slapstick comedy: Almon Strowger, a Kansas City, Kan., undertaker, hired several engineers to design an automatic telephone switch when he suspected local operators were steering business to his competitors. That switch — and a telephone that could be dialed to operate it (1896) — were adopted by AT&T in 1916, making it possible for businesses to dial their own calls. The Strowger switch "gave us the concept of switching," Keen says. And the dial telephone itself "changed our reach and range," Ross says. Although the dial telephone let businesses direct their own switching, the Touch-Tone phone — invented in 1941 but made practical only by transistors in 1964 — "enabled the telephone to become a data-entry device," says CIO Communications Inc. publisher Joe Levy. The four-prong telephone jack made it possible for customers to use different telephones interchangeably. Answering machines and voice mail let telephone users leave messages when no one could answer the phone. Modems (1957) made the connection between phones and computers, and the digital telephone network (1986) completed that connection. As software goes, e-mail may not seem like much. We don't turn to it to produce something, as with a word processor or spreadsheet. But e-mail may have had a greater impact — forcing business executives to learn to type and encouraging grandparents to climb aboard the Internet. "I believe e-mail has changed how we communicate, who we communicate with and what we communicate about. And maybe I'm an IBM bigot, but I think PROFS [Professional Office system from IBM] got it rolling," Ross says. PROFS — which remained the king of e-mail for years after PC-based mail systems were introduced — has been eclipsed by Internet mail systems. But other software innovations are still making their mark. Relational databases, data compression, artificial intelligence and digital imaging are so common — and crucial — that we don't even notice them. And virtual reality has changed the way we interact with computers. Among the many software products that have been key to IT: Multics ("the first real operating system," Pesce says); Windows; Novell NetWare; Unix; Linux; CP/M; Mac OS; Digital's VMS; the Oracle and DBase II databases; IBM's CICS transaction monitor; Visicalc, Lotus 1-2-3 and Microsoft Excel spreadsheets; word processors; and Cobol, C, C++, Java and Visual Basic. When the first credit card hit New York in 1946, few people would have identified it as information technology. Even today, "plastic money" usually seems more like a contributor to electronic commerce than IT itself. But credit cards "fundamentally transformed us to a symbol economy," Keen argues. "Without that experience, we couldn't have an information economy. The Internet rests on the credibility of credit cards." Our expert panel made other unconventional choices for key IT products, too. The automobile "led to suburbanization of the world," Bloch says. The elevator "made skyscrapers possible," says Jim Ware, vice president of The Concours Group. The airplane made Federal Express Corp.'s overnight package delivery possible — and closed the speed gap between paper and electronic communications. Gene-splicing and the human genome project are already changing key information of a different sort. But perhaps the most familiar of unconventional IT innovations comes from, of all things, office furniture. In 1964, Herman Miller Inc. rolled out its Action Office system, introducing corporate America to "open-plan" offices intended to improve communication and information flow. The result, says Duncan Sutherland, chief technology officer at Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering, "ultimately devolved into the now more or less ubiquitous Dilbert cube!"

[Interview] Secret of Mana Gets Therapeutic With Prescription For Sleep: Lullabies of Mana by Jason Moses February 25, 2016 Game music is a powerful, multifaceted thing, capable of not just providing background accompaniment to our favorite games, but pushing us forward in our daily lives, and yes, even occasionally lulling us to sleep. Former Destructoid Music Editor and Scarlet Moon Productions founder Jayson Napolitano knows this firsthand, and he wants to bring the soothing powers of our favorite video game tunes to the world with the Game Music Lullabies series. We had the chance to speak to Jayson about the recently-released Prescription for Sleep: Lullabies of Mana album, which puts a relaxing, therapeutic spin to Hiroki Kikuta's classic Secret of Mana soundtrack. Otaku USA: For those who may not be familiar with the Game Music Lullabies series, can you offer a brief explanation of the concept? Jayson Napolitano: Game Music Lullabies takes game music tracks that many know and love and transforms them into soothing lullabies to sleep and relax to. This is done entirely by GENTLE LOVE, a jazz duo comprised of saxophonist Norihiko Hibino (who you may know as the composer of "Snake Eater" from Metal Gear Solid III) and pianist AYAKI (featured on Etrian Odyssey and PersonaQ), who are both top-notch jazz musicians. OUSA: What led to you team up with Nirohiko Hibino and AYAKI? Napolitano: I've known Norihiko Hibino for many years, both when I was writing about game music in a journalistic capacity, and later as a producer. Several years ago he started on a personal journey to explore the therapeutic applications of music, and began performing soulful music with friend and piano player AYAKI. The two have performed all over Japan at charity events in the wake of the earthquake and tsunami in 2011, and as a part of Hibino-san's well-being and spiritual care music event, Music in Heaven, which is held all throughout Japan. Regarding what inspired the series, I had written a top ten article on Destructoid listing my top ten game music tracks to sleep to. The response I got to the sleep article was pretty astounding, so when I left Destructoid and started my own production company, I was thinking of interesting album concepts, and recalled the article. GENTLE LOVE was an obvious choice, and Hibino-san was greatly interested in the concept as a bridge between his work in games and in therapeutic music. I actually went back to that Destructoid article and picked a few of the tracks that people suggested, including "Aquatic Ambiance" from Donkey Kong Country. So I'm always up for hearing people's recommendations! OUSA: How has reception to the series been so far? Napolitano: The response has been overwhelmingly positive. We've been on nearly every major gaming website, and Kotaku called us "The Kenny G of Game Music." I suppose that's a compliment… I actually like Kenny G! We've even been nominated for awards and been included in some editor's choice lists. Honestly, from an album sales standpoint, we'd like to be selling more units. Music is an incredibly tough market, and it's getting harder and harder with each passing day. It's great that we're working with LOUDR.FM, who give us the ability to bundle all of the series together at a discount. At the end of the day, this series isn't about accolades or financial gains. As long as we're breaking even and people are enjoying the music, we look forward to pushing on. OUSA: What can fans of the original source material expect from the arrangements? Is there another album with a similar concept (the first thing that came to mind when I read the initial description were the Falcom Preprimer albums from the early 90s) that served as inspiration on the initial concept for the series? Napolitano: I can't say we were really inspired by anything that had been done before, although I love the Preprimer albums as well. I simply put absolute creative control in Hibino-san's hands. GENTLE LOVE already had an established sound, so I wanted to give them the freedom to do their thing. I provide some notes for them to consider, but as trained jazz musicians (Hibino-san trained at Berklee), they know how to best proceed. I'm a huge game music fan, and I hand-pick these songs. So listeners can expect that we're going to treat the source material right. We typically start strong with the recognizable melodies that fans know and love, improvise on those themes for a time, then circle back around to the main melody. Each of the albums is really a product of the day and time that they were recorded. They each have their own vibe. And if we were to re-record them, they'd be completely different. That's why I hope someday that GENTLE LOVE performs these arrangements live in front of an audience at, say, PAX or MAGFest. OUSA: How have you decided what songs to arrange for previous albums on the soundtrack? What made you decide to focus on a single soundtrack for Lullabies of Mana? Napolitano: I will tell you outright that the track selections are entirely self-serving. This is a lot of my personal favorite game music, so there're lots of JRPGs and Nintendo titles represented. I also try to take popular games and feature lesser-known themes that I personally love in order to turn others on to them as well. For our first volume, I picked tracks that I thought were already conducive to sleep in their original form and simply had GENTLE LOVE bring them to life with a live performance. I also wanted to throw a curve ball in there, so that's where Demon's Souls came from. There was even an article somewhere that said, "Demon's Souls turned into a lullaby? Who would have thought?" I did much of the same with Volume II, but wanted to challenge GENTLE LOVE a bit. I threw in "The Moon" from DuckTales, a super upbeat NES-era track, and told them, "people are really sensitive about people messing with this one too much, so beware." They performed admirably, and in the album commentary, Hibino-san noted that he was surprised that a Japanese composer wrote the theme, given how bold and bubbly it was. When it came to a third album, I wanted to try something different. I was already thinking of tracks to include for another compilation, and "Phantom And… A Rose…" from Secret of Mana was high on my list. It struck me there are so many great songs from Secret of Mana, and the themes of the game (mother earth, healing, nature) were so aligned with Hibino-san's journey into therapeutic music that it just made sense. I knew that I was taking a niche (game music) and making it even more niche (by focusing on a JRPG), but I believed strongly in the idea. And it was fun having GENTLE LOVE record an original song based on the Secret of Mana world, which you can hear at the end of the album ("Memories of Mana"). OUSA: What kind of planning did the album go through before entering production? I heard the intent was the retell the story of the game via the album – how did you decide how to go about doing this? Jayson Napolitano: It was very difficult deciding on which tracks to include. There were themes that I loved and there were key themes from the game that I thought needed to be included even though they wouldn't have been on my personal favorite list. I ended up striking a balance. It was very difficult picking which tracks to include. That's why we ended up with 12 tracks on this one instead of the ten featured on Volume I and Volume II. But yes, the tracks on Lullabies of Mana appear in the same sequential order as found on the original soundtrack. We touch all the bases: the opening theme, town theme, dungeon theme, victory, final dungeon, ending, etc., I really wanted to present a diverse selection of tracks that people might have not expected. "Leave Time For Love" (the final dungeon theme), for example, is one that I don't think people would have expected as a lullaby. Maybe we should have gone all-in and done the boss theme. OUSA: Was Hiroki Kikuta (original Secret of Mana composer) involved at all with the creation of the album? Napolitano: Kikuta-san has a special thanks on the album, but didn't have any direct involvement with its creation. I did ask him for his input on the track selection when I was having a particularly difficult time. Beyond that, he heard the final result, and was impressed with the sensitivity expressed in the arrangements. OUSA: Have you encountered any challenges during production when trying to fit the source material to the concept? Napolitano: I probably shouldn't be telling anyone this. On Volume II, I had wanted another curveball. It was supposed to be "Lorenzo's Soil" from Earthworm Jim. Hibino-san has known the composer of that music, Tommy Tallarico, for many years, so I thought it would be fun to do. But Hibino-san and AYAKI really had a difficult time with it. Otherwise, this has been incredibly smooth. People are shocked to hear our production process: I pick out songs, throw them in a folder, send them to Hibino-san with some notes, he charts the melodies out, gets into his studio, and they record it all in a single day. Sometimes it's interesting to see what parts that they decide to focus on, but I've yet to be disappointed. The next installment, if we're able to do another one, will take this concept of challenging them even further. I don't want to give it away, but we're going to look into some music that nobody would expect to be heard in lullaby form. I'm sure if you ask me this question next time, I'll have more war stories to tell! Check out Lullabies of Mana and the other Game Music Lullabies albums at the official website.

Willie Cauley-Stein has talked many times over the last year about how difficult sitting on the bench for the latter half of Kentucky's magical tournament run was for him. On the eve of the Elite Eight, he revealed another facet to what it was like being relegated to spectator status. Unable to play due to a stress fracture in his ankle that knocked him out of UK's Sweet 16 matchup with Louisville and had him in plainclothes for the Elite Eight and Final Four, Cauley-Stein admits there was part of him that enjoyed just being along for the ride. A year later, he has no such chance.

The Delicious Solution To the Menacing Asian Carp Without question, they are not going away. Better yet, they make excellent eating. That they taste better than either catfish or tilapia is important obviously but then still not a deal breaker had carp only matched up. It is also an exciting fishery as well for the local fisherman. Thus understanding that it is excellent for food is important to know. Obviously rebranding is important. Too bad we cannot figure out how to make zebra mussels into a food product as well. What is certain is that these fish will invade the Great Lakes. This will produce a massive fishery. Then if we add in landlocked coho and sockeye, we can have a massive fishery to complement the fully restored Great Lakes Watershed. My key point is that i am all right with introducing alien species that are well chosen. It will happen anyway and i prefer to be ahead of it all by occupying every niche with superior choices. Recall buffalo is still a better choice that cattle in both Eurasia and America. Cattle is the introduced species. Maybe it is time to introduce a more robust mussel that we can harvest into the Great Lake that easily overwelms the zebra mussels. Eat The Enemy: The Delicious Solution To Menacing Asian Carp http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/12/15/eat-the-enemy-asian-carp_n_6324896.html Asian carp were never supposed to live in North American waterways. Like many other invasive species, they were introduced by humans in an attempt to address another problem, namely to remove algae from catfish farms and wastewater treatment ponds in the 1970s. But sometime in the next two decades, the fish escaped their enclosures -- most likely due to several large floods in the '90s -- and began to spread. Over the past 15 years, populations have exploded, as the carp outcompete native fish populations and quickly reproduce through the tributaries of the Mississippi and Illinois rivers while moving north to the Great Lakes. And they've become a huge problem. The name "Asian carp" is actually an umbrella title for four different species: bighead carp, black carp, grass carp and silver carp. Some of the larger species can weigh up to 100 pounds and have an uncanny ability to jump out of the water. Females can produce upwards of 2 million eggs, and some of the fish can live for 20 years. The Obama administration has spent more than $200 million trying to control their spread, including building a series of electrified barriers to try to deter the fish from swimming closer to the Great Lakes. So far, those efforts have failed, and the carp have been seen less than 40 miles from Lake Michigan. Should the animals reach the lakes, they have the potential to devastate local ecosystems and a $7 billion fishing industry. But the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says any fix, if one that works can be found, would be neither easy nor immediate, and it could cost billions more than has already been spent. But an increasing number of scientists, and chefs, are calling for a far cheaper means to help contain the alien species -- putting them on the dinner plate. Dr. Quinton Phelps, a fisheries ecologist at the Missouri Department of Conservation, has been on a mission to convince people to take advantage of the underappreciated protein source since he began studying it in in the mid-2000s. He says the fish weren't really on anyone's radar as little as 10 years ago, but these days you can steer a boat down the Mississippi, and as soon as the carp hear the sound of the motor they'll start "popping up like popcorn" out of the water. They can be 100-pound torpedoes that leave boaters with black eyes and broken noses. But even more importantly, they act like underwater vacuums, eating huge amounts of plankton and algae that other fish rely on, which has "this huge deleterious effect," Phelps told The Huffington Post. In some waterways, they now make up nearly 95 percent of total biomass after out-eating nearly every other native species. For ecologists like Phelps, convincing people to eat the carp is a no-brainer. They're nutritious, cheap (free if you can catch them -- and they literally jump into your boat) and damn tasty. A research team at the University of Missouri did a blind taste test last year, and the carp won handily over the far more popular catfish. Phelps' team conducted a similar taste test and found diners preferred the carp 2-to-1 over catfish and tilapia, regardless of cooking method. "The best part about it is that you're eating green, you're doing something to ensure the sustainability of other native foods by consuming this critter," he said. Eating carp may be a new thing for Americans, but the fish have been a staple in Asia for generations. There's not much of a local market unless you decide to go out and reel in your dinner, but some entrepreneurs have begun catching and exporting fish from the Mississippi River Basin and hawking it. It's often marketed as "Kentucky white fish" and has become a popular alternative to local, farmed carp in places like China. But the biggest challenge for Americans is the name. Phelps, whose department leads 20 to 30 workshops on the fish every year, says people hear the name carp and immediately begin to think, "Ew, that's gross." Other chefs have tried to go with the rebranding route, like that of the Chilean sea bass or orange roughy -- formerly known as the Patagonian toothfish and slimehead -- and get approval to call the carp "silverfin." In Louisiana, Chef Philippe Parola has made a name for himself by holding invasive-species cooking demonstrations around what he calls the "Silverfin Craze." He's stumped for quite a few other invasives, including alligator, snow goose and nutria, "the best red meat you've ever had," he told Modern Farmer. Whatever they're called, Parola says once they're on the plate, carp are indistinguishable from any other mild white fish. And unlike other fisheries on the verge of collapse, populations of Asian carp are booming beyond measure, and something has to be done -- so why not dig in? "If you're at the stage where we're at, and you're having the trouble that we are, we've got to start somewhere, and we have a lot of people in this country that are hungry," Phelps said. "This is the perfect protein source. I say, let's eat 'em." Asian Carp On A Stick Recipe provided by Quinton Phelps 1 pound boneless Asian carp fillets (cut into 5-inch long pieces) ⅓ cup soy sauce (low sodium) ⅓ cup packed brown sugar 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (optional) 2 teaspoons minced garlic 12 wooden skewers Preheat grill to 400 degrees, and treat grill surface with non-stick spray. Create the marinade. In a large plastic bowl, combine soy sauce, water, brown sugar, Sriracha sauce, garlic, ginger and sesame oil. Whisk thoroughly. Marinate the fish. Add fillets to marinade (making sure each fillet is evenly coated) and refrigerate overnight. Make the kabobs. Thread the fillets on soaked wooden or bamboo skewers. Place the kabobs on the barbecue grill, and cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side (or until done). Not all invasive species are edible, and some included in this series can be dangerous, including lionfish and wild boar. Please take caution when foraging or hunting for your own food. Justajo said... If it tastes as good - or better - than other whitefish, I'd eat it. What I can't understand is the popularity of catfish. While I'll eat it, it's definitely not at the top on my fish list. Get this fish on American tables! Heck, even call it American whitefish. It's ours now and a tremendous opportunity add a delicious protein to the American diet. Business opportunity as well. Do it. I would if I were in the position.

One day after my own visit to the Fairmount Water Works, some of the Philadelphia: The Charm of the City Flickr group members met up and took some really fantastic photos. It was a gorgeous evening and I also saw the moon out that night, big and low over the city, but we were traveling in a car on I-76 heading back into the city. I commented to my parents-in-law that although I wasn't taking a picture of that scene myself that I hoped that someone out there was. And they were! Here are a few of my favorites that have been posted to our Metroblogging Philadelphia Flickr group.

If that statement sounds like a snake oil salesman puffing, ask any divorced guy what his breakup cost him. Guy, you never know when you might run into that keeper - you know, the girl that you can't live without, also known as Ms. Product shipped in plain paper and no one gets your name - ever. Since atmospheric carbon 14 arises at about the same rate that the atom decays, the Earth's levels of carbon 14 have remained constant. In living organisms, which are always taking in carbon, the levels of carbon 14 likewise stay constant.

Because the ratio of carbon 12 to carbon 14 present in all living organisms is the same, and because the decay rate of carbon 14 is constant, the length of time that has passed since an organism has died can be calculated by comparing the ratio of carbon 12 to carbon 14 in its remains to the known ratio in living organisms. Our Living Language : In the late 1940s, American chemist Willard Libby developed a method for determining when the death of an organism had occurred. Most carbon atoms have six protons and six neutrons in their nuclei and are called carbon 12. But a tiny percentage of carbon is made of carbon 14, or radiocarbon, which has six protons and eight neutrons and is not stable: half of any sample of it decays into other atoms after 5,700 years.

For the past 30 years, Northern Nevada businesses have relied on RDO as a resource for the recycling of used oil. In that time, RDO has hauled over twenty (20) million gallons of petroleum-related waste for recycling. Our specially trained service staff provides scheduled pick-ups as well as demand-based service calls. We also provide the pertinent documents and manifests to keep you in compliance with governmental and regulatory mandates. Today's problem of controlling waste will be the legacy we leave to the next and subsequent generations. Steel, paper, plastics and used oil are among the most widely recycled products. Each year RDO, collects millions of gallons of used oil and transports this valuable, reusable resource to its facility. Recycling motor oil reduces the need to tap limited virgin crude resources and allows environmentally conscious companies the opportunity to "close the loop" by recycling used motor oil. RDO's modern re-refining processes allows the used fuel oil to be used in used fuel oil burning companies at a reduction in their fuel costs. At the RDO recycling facility, we have a state-of-the-art containment area sealed with an impervious poly-liner built on virgin soil. Recycling certificates are available to all our clientele. We urge existing and potential customers to visit our facility. Depending on your location and waste volume, you may be eligible for special discounted services. Don't trust the management of your petroleum-related waste to just anyone. Let RDO limit the liability inherent to generators of petroleum-related waste byproducts. NOTE: We DO NOT deal with the following chemicals or oil comingled with these chemicals; Carbon Tetrachloride, Chlorobenzene, Chloroform, 1,4-Dichlorobenzene, 1,2- Dichloroethane, 1,1-Dichloroethylene, Methyl Ethyl Ketone, Tetrachloroethylene, Trichloroethylene, and Vinyl Chloride.

Leafs Extend Teemu Kivihalme on Two-Year Deal Spencer White, Hockey Editor | 15:22 18/07/20 The Toronto Maple Leafs have announced that they've inked Teemu Kivihalme to a two-way, two-year deal, with an AAV of $725,000. Teemu Kivihalme Teemu Kivihalme was a European free agent signing for the Leafs last season. The 25-year-old was originally picked 140th overall by the Nashville Predators in 2013. After four solid seasons with Colorado College of the NCAA, Kivihalme continued to improve as he joined Karpat of SM-Liiga. With Karpat, Kivihalme's defensive prowess shined, along with his growing offensive presence from the blueline. He helped Karpat during their run to become champions in 2017-18, and they placed 2nd in 2018-19. With the Toronto Marlies, the Finnish-American defenseman showed that he is a very dependable defenseman, offensively and defensively. Kivihalme creates most of his offense from or behind the blueline. He's a great puck-moving defenseman. He'll create chances by using his slapshot and the occasional wrister to rebound off the goalie. He'll also throw in the occasional rush here and there. He does a fairly good job of staying on his man defensively, closing the gap effectively and pressuring. Kivihalme pretty much does everything you want to see from someone poised to be a depth defenseman. The Contract and What's Next Although some of the details haven't been released, we know that the contract is a two-way, two-year deal with a $725,000 AAV. The Leafs have faith that he could develop into an NHLer, and this two-year deal will give him an opportunity to develop in the AHL and show the team that he's NHL material. Kivihalme is solid in pretty much every aspect of the game. However, the Leafs are likely looking for him to develop more on both ends of the ice, taking his game up a notch. He had success in his first North American professional season, depending on how next season goes, it's possible he just needed to get more used to the AHL game. I think Kivihalme projects to be a very solid 7th defenseman in the NHL, potentially a bottom-pairing defenseman depending on how he develops. Next season though, he'll likely spend the majority of the season with the Toronto Marlies again. For now, however, he's with the team as they gear up for their return to play.

R-Type 2 1989 Activision Status: No Download, Findability: 1/5 Coding: Unknown Graphics: Unknown Sound: Unknown Updated on December 28, 2012 by fgasking - Comments Well, it seems it may well have been in production for the old breadbin, even after the mess of the first game. Issue #59 of Zzap 64 announced that Activision had gained the licence for R-Type 2, and work was to be started soon. Zzap followed this up almost a year later in their Christmas Special (#68) that the game was being converted along with another game called Beastbusters. But sadly this is all we ever heard about the game, and the idea of a C64 conversion faded into obscurity. Rumours are that Arc Developments could have played a role in the C64 conversion, though after previous contact with Richard Underhill, he never mentioned it. We will ask him again with regards to the C64 conversion, just incase. It is possible that Activision decided to ignore a C64 conversion, as they started to move away from the C64 around that time. I think the last lot of games from Activision were Sonic Boom and Galaxy Force 2, both from around 1990 I think. A lot more research needed to find out if anything ever was started, and if the plan was true. The magazines reported it, so who knows? Did it ever exist?… ← R-Type V1 Rugby World Cup 2 → 1994 Thomas Mittelmeyer Preview - Findability: 3/5

With the amount of errors that occur in a hospital or other medical facility, surgery is usually an event that many people are nervous about. A number of Maryland residents may wonder how so many surgical errors could happen. A recent study has shown that many of the errors are attributed to equipment and technology problems. The report notes that surgery that is mostly dependent on technology has an increased rate of errors. Computerized equipment problems were pointed out in approximately 15 percent of medical malpractice lawsuits, and about 2.4 mishaps took place during each operation. There are different types of issues that can cause errors, including settings on the equipment, which accounted for 43 percent. In regard to how serious these mistakes were, many were extensive. The numbers indicated were based on the nature of the surgery and the study being conducted. According to the studies, 8 percent of errors were due to communication issues, while 13 percent were due to technical issues. The highest percentage of errors was due to equipment failure, which landed at 20 percent. With more surgeries involving a wide range of technology and sophisticated equipment, there is an increased chance of errors. Maryland patients that have been victimized by errors from surgery may experience pain and suffering and financial loss due to personal injury, medical expenses and missed time from work. A patient that has suffered from injury due to surgical errors retains the legal right to pursue a medical malpractice lawsuit against the facility and any other parties deemed negligent.

Volunteers from all 50 US States, as well as other counties join together to make little dresses out of pillowcases. Some sew. Some donate. Some go to Africa, and some send others. With your help, LDfA gets to the children and distributes the dresses through orphanages, churches, and schools. Our mission is to provide relief to children of Africa by distributing dresses to little girls, primarily in African villages but also other countries in crisis. Because of the widespread AIDS pandemic, little girls are often left to be the primary care givers of their young siblings. It is our hope that in delivering dresses to these young girls that a seed will be planted in their hearts, in the name of Jesus, that they are worthy. Although clothing is needed, these little dresses also give us an opportunity to hold Bible classes, children's camps and informal teaching sessions to increase their knowledge in nutrition, clean water, and sanitation and to promote good health and family skills knowledge. Donate: There is a basket to collect pillowcases in the foyer of the Hub. Sew: If you are interested in sewing the dresses please contact Barbara Friday at 704-860-4089 or [email protected]. Check out littledressesforafrica.org for more information about LDfA.

Just to say I am totally in love with your album and am a HUGE fan! Fell in love with it in the middle of the Karroo, surrounded by nothing but blue skies and dust… it lifted me up and moved me so much I almost cried… you know that feeling when your heart feels so full… I think you know EXACTLY what I mean. WOW!!! It's taken me a while to find a band that has met the standard that Just Jinjer set a few years ago… the Parlotones are great and are close to that point… you guys on the other hand I believe have already passed that point. Nice one! Awesome album!! I really can't stop playing it, so much so that my wife is telling me I'm playing the album to death! All the best for the future guys… I look forward to seeing you in Cape Town some time soon as I am yet to experience you guys live!!! Nice one :) Look for me on twitter @JKeith1982.

This is our second and last move! Our first move was when our boys were 3 and 1. This time we've added one more to the family; kids aging 5, 3 and 1. My worries probably were worse then my kids as they adapt quickly at this age. It was a matter of working through the kids anxieties surrounding the move that made them transition well. Our biggest concern was that our 5 year old would have to change schools and meet new friends. When I think back to my kindergarten years I don't even remember who I hung out with. The majority of us in kindergarten split off in our own directions to build new and wonderful relationships elsewhere. We told our kids a few months in advance that we would be moving and tried to prepare them as best as we could for the change. As we progressed through the months before the move one of the biggest things that stood out that we didn't think to address was: WE WOULD ALL BE TOGETHER and ALL OF OUR THINGS WERE COMING WITH US. There was some emotional distress in the brains of our little ones over the unknowns. They had no problem moving but they did have a hard time leaving their stuff behind. Surprisingly it wasn't really a materialistic concern, more of a comfort concern. For example it was the kids beds and furniture that needed to come with us. I guess the safe space of their rooms was important to recreate at the new house. The other main thing to address was that we were all going. No one would be left behind and no matter where we were so long as we were all together it would be a fun adventure. Once the 2 biggest calming factors were addressed, the family and our items, the stress dissipated and the excitement could begin. One of the most dreaded parts of moving is packing up and storing things away. I would recommend decluttering months ahead of time and storing the things that you don't need on a regular basis. For the kids sake keep their rooms in tact until 2 weeks before the move. Get a bunch of boxes ahead of time and pack one box at a time so that you're not packing up the whole house all at once. Things you don't need are usually: garage items, decorative items, seasonal clothes, basement items. Pack these up first. Pick toys that the kids play with the most and keep them out until the very end. Pack up the other toys and decrease the clutter. The week before the move talk to the kids again about where all of their items are going to be and make it fun for them to open at the new house. They can decorate their own boxes so they know which ones are theirs! Have someone the kids know well watch them and have fun with them. If possible have the kids be a part of the beginning of the move, seeing the moving truck, putting something in the truck and then letting them play the rest of the day elsewhere. Let the kids see the change happening and mentally process it without it being shocking. Set up the kids rooms right away if possible so that when they get there they're excited for their new space. If the kids are into something cool and want a new element added to the new room pick something to decorate with and have it ready when the kids enter their room. We all know that young kids get excited about new things. (It doesn't have to be brand new, but new to them). Our son was really excited to have his own room after sharing with his brother. We put in a used desk which was really exciting for him to have his own quiet space to work on his own creations without anyone interrupting him or touching his things. We are now close to 1 month into our move and we've had a really good adjustment. There have been a few times where the kids have said they miss the old house and neighbourhood. We reassure the kids that we will have play dates with our friends from the old house and attempt to stay connected. One of the other things that I've found useful is getting into a routine quickly. My 5 year old is at school and he's meeting new friends right away. My 3 and 1 year old are home with me and I make an effort to get out to play groups or new places so that we are excited to be in our new community and our new home.

Home|The first ordination in the Diocese of Beaumont The first ordination in the Diocese of Beaumont 2016-05-27T12:48:12+00:00 The first ordination in the Diocese of Beaumont By Mallory Matt It was a year of firsts for the Diocese of Beaumont when the first ordination was held 49 years ago. On May 25, 1967, a group of four men arrived at the cathedral to be the first four priests ordained specifically for the Diocese of Beaumont. Not only was it the first ordination for the Diocese it was also the first ordination by Bishop Vincent Harris. He was consecrated a bishop only months before on Sept. 28, 1966, the day before being installed at the newly designated St. Anthony Cathedral in Beaumont. The class of four, Kenneth Greig, Charles James, Bennie Patillo and Irving Wyble, were to be ordained in alphabetical order, which meant Greig was first in line. "It dawned on me that this was going to be the very first ordination Bishop Harris ever performed as the Bishop," Msgr. Greig reminisced as he recalled the four of them nervously vesting and trying to calm each other's nerves. "So the night of the ceremony, I walked up to Bishop Harris and I said, 'Bishop, I know this is your first ordination and I'm the first in line. If you want to practice on me, I'd be happy to get back at the end of the line and come up a second time so you get it right.' He said, 'Sir, I may have never done it before, but it will be done right the first time.' So I said, 'Okay.' "That's what I remember most about that night at my ordination."

Danae (200-talet f.Kr.) var en grekisk hetär. Hon var dotter till hetären och filosofen Leontion och beräknas ha blivit född cirka 300 f.Kr. Hon blev en av de mer välkända hetärerna i det hellenistiska Aten, och Athenaios har omtalat hennes rivalitet med kollegan Glykera. Hon uppnådde senare en tjänst vid den seleukidiska drottning Laodike I:s hov. Danae blev avrättad på order av Laodike I, någon gång mellan 246 och 236 f.Kr.

I was delighted to have the honour to lead the first CHAT workshop on creation, harmonization and application of terminology resources held on May 11, 2011 at the University of Latvia, in Riga, Latvia. It was co-located with the 18th Nordic Conference of Computational Linguistics, NODALIDA 2011. Terminology plays an extremely important role in the translation and localization industry, as well as in natural language processing. Different national and international activities have been undertaken to create terminology resources and apply them in computer-assisted and machine translation tools (e.g. TTC: Terminology Extraction, Translation Tools and Comparable Corpora). Another issue is the consolidation and harmonization of dispersed multilingual terminology resources. An important step towards this direction is the federated approach of providing access to content from multiple data sources, such as EuroTermBank, as well as international activities of providing common language resources and their applications CLARA and open linguistic infrastructures (META-NORD: Baltic and Nordic Branch of the European Open Linguistic Infrastructure), to serve the needs of industry and research communities in language resources, including terminologies. The main idea of CHAT was to focus on the fostering the cooperation between the European projects and research and development activities in the area of terminology, and bring together academic and industrial researchers, as well as attract and involve postgraduate students and young researchers. Two invited speakers kindly accepted our invitation to give their keynote presentations. They were Prof. Gerhard Budin (University of Vienna, Austrian Academy of Sciences) and Prof. Emmanuel Morin (University of Nantes, Computer Science laboratory of the Nantes-Atlantique region of France). Prof. Gerhard Budin gave a keynote presentation on "Terminology Resource Development in Global Domain Communities" with an overview of "Practical Experiences, Case Studies and Conclusions for Future Projects". Prof. Emmanuel Morin gave a keynote presentation on "Bilingual Terminology Extraction from Comparable Corpora". We had two paper presentation sessions (9 papers) and a demonstration session (2 demos). Overall, the workshop was truly multilingual, multicultural and multidomain! I hope the participants found the workshop interesting and useful for their further research in the development of terminology resources and services of the future, had fruitful discussions and revealed promising perspectives, and simply spent nice time during that day. CHAT proceedings were published in the electronic repository of the University of Tartu Library as NEALT Proceedings Series vol. 12 and can be found at http://dspace.utlib.ee/dspace/handle/10062/16956. There are 12 files in the volume: 11 papers as separate files + one file (Proceedings) that contains contents, preface, program of the workshop and all the 11 papers. CHAT 2011 in pictures: https://picasaweb.google.com/115946514697851463753/CHAT2011?feat=directlink, the quality of the photos leaves much to be desired, but still it's better than nothing. On behalf of the workshop organizing committee I would like to express our gratitude to the NODALIDA conference for this opportunity to co-locate the workshop as a satellite event. The University of Latvia for hosting this workshop and the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science, in particular, for their cooperation and efforts during the workshop organization. The invited speakers for their responsiveness and substantial input to the programme. Co-organizers of the event for our close collaboration and Programme Committee members for their time and attention during the preparation of the workshop and review process, in particular. All the participants for their interesting papers and presentations. My colleagues from Tilde for their assistance, advice and support! Prof. Mare Koit, Editor-in-Chief of the NEALT Publication Series at University of Tartu, for her cooperation and producing the electronic proceedings.

Communist Party of Germany From Metapedia The KPD's headquarters from 1926 to 1933 in which the Antifaschistische Aktion' logo can be seen prominently displayed on the front of the building The Communist Party of Germany (German: Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands, KPD), originating from the Spartacus League, was a major political party in Germany between 1918 and 6 March 1933 when it was banned. The party was Stalinist and loyal to the leadership of the Soviet Union, and from 1928 it was largely controlled and funded by the Soviet Union. In 1932, the KPD also founded Antifaschistische Aktion, commonly known as Antifa, which it described as a "red united front under the leadership of the only anti-fascist party, the KPD". After World War II it re-established itself as a minor party in West Germany until 1956 when it was again banned by the Constitutional Court.

I absolutely love this idea. Not only because I'm short, but because it's practical and looks really cool. Apparently it's only an idea and not something actually for sale. It wouldn't be too hard to put together if you're a DIY-er, though, and it's definitely something I would like to see for sale at some point. This is mentioned specifically as a book shelf (and I think it'd be a lovely modern addition to any home). It could also be utilized in a pantry (or 'as' a pantry) or storage space in larger closets, etc. No longer do you have to only put things you rarely use on the top shelf and make every excuse in the world not to climb up there to pull things out. Because it goes all the way to the ceiling, it adds extra space to areas that you wouldn't otherwise use. Lifehacker (the site I found this through) also talked about a similar nifty idea. These are definitely things I would like to keep in mind for the future. Absolutely amazing! Totally love it! Creative indeed. And hope you don't mind, happy belated blog birthday! I hope I'll remember my first blog birthday next year. ha.. Keep at it and you'll remember!

I really liked this sketch from last Friday's Fall-to-Layout sketch over at the Clean and Simple Stamping Blog. And, my original idea fell by the wayside when I stumbled upon this stamp from SU's Inspired by Nature. The lightbulb went off and the rest is history! I used my Marvy markers to color the image and then spritzed the colored rubber with a fine mist of water before stamping.

Book: India Was One Author: An Indian (Anonymous) The book starts with the protagonist, Jai going through a lonely, dark, jungle kind of slightly-eerie place with a local guy. Once they reach a certain spot, Jai looks through binoculars, across a border at his wife. The two cannot cross the border - the border dividing North and South India. After a glimpse of this emotionally-charged, tense moment, the story goes into flashback and starts from the college days of Jai and Kaahi (Kahaani's nickname). Is Kahaani really a name, I wondered. So I googled it - it apparently is, but not a very common one. I had heard of 'Kavita' (means 'Poetry'), but never ,Kahaani' (means 'Story'). Surprisingly, no one in the book asks Kahaani about her name. Jai's family is from Karnataka, and Kaahi's from Gujarat, though both the families stay in Mumbai. I hail from North India. My first thought was - well, Gujarat is not in the North of India. But from the point of view of dividing the country into North and South, it is in the northern part of India. Also, I had expected some major lifestyle differences in the two families. Since both the families stay in Mumbai, that expectation didn't hold good either. Jai has three friends - Sikh, Tamil and Bengali... India, after all, is one. Even many other communities find a place in the story. All living in harmony... mostly. The friends are mostly stereotypical examples of their community or religion. Jai is the hero, and is portrayed as one. His father is rich. As I read along, I realized he's filthy rich. Uh Huh, really loaded with money. The book has two fonts - Normal and Italics. The normal font tells you the story. The italicized font is explanatory lessons/lectures about India, its diversity, different cultures, cricket, bollywood, etc. Once the story moves to America, the italics start with details of American lifestyle, many things that an Indian would find strange there, the weather, etc. But certain things can't be explained. Can you explain the impact the impact of a Gabbar Singh dialogue to one who's never watched, or even heard of, Sholay? So the book is a fiction, a travelogue, and a self-help book for expats in India and America. Even the difference in the education system of the two places is explained. The author has chosen to stay anonymous. The book does seem to have strong autobiographical inspiration, though. The book is written in the English that most Indians speak. It is spoken English on paper. So sentences, such as 'Jai's feelings for Kaahi were mutual, not just a one-way street' can be found in this book. I personally don't mind reading such sentences once in a while, but one gains nothing. A good story, written well, is an enriching experience. Hindi script is used for certain words and phrases, which are then transliterated and translated. If one understands Hindi, it does add to the way one can relate to a certain situation, in a couple of places in the book. But mostly the translation works almost as well. The contents of the book are listed differently. Each chapter has a small illustration. The same illustration is at the beginning of each chapter. Chapter one titled 'India was One' has lantern as title illustration. Chapter two titled Canteen, has tea cups as the illustration. The two meet at the college canteen. The main sore point for me in this book has been Kaahi's character. She is introduced as a smart girl, with a mind of her own. But as the story proceeds, I feel only Jai thinks that. Because her actions speak otherwise. She has no ambition, is conveniently fond of cooking and is rather timid. She can't even keep track of the take-off time of her flight, it seems. There is an instance in the book, when Jai is discussing that Kaahi is bored. I was like, 'Finally!' Instead the two of them take yet another vacation, giving us another travelogue. She doesn't even have any friends of her own. Jai's friends become her friends and all is hunky dory. A quote from 'India Was One' - "... people here love cricket no matter what their religion is: Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, etc. Cricket has a cult-like following in this country. It's like it has formed its own religion. It never cares which religious background or caste one is from. It breaks all boundaries, and is a great equalizer in this country where people are still shackled by caste barriers." I had expected an intense story of India dividing and a couple stuck across the border, pining for each other. I found instead a book that is good for one-time light reading, with lots of information about life in India and America. Shared with Write Tribe © Nimi Arora Usha Menon 30 August 2014 at 14:27 Nimi, you have given a very realistic review of the book. From the review a clear idea is formed about the book. Nimi Arora 31 August 2014 at 01:25 That's what I always try to do, Usha ji... write a thorough review. I am glad that I succeeded.

As a Pacific Islander growing up in Hawaii, I saw incidences of diabetes reach epidemic levels throughout the South Pacific, impacting loved ones, friends, and their families. Resources are scarce in the islands, leading to high rates of both mortality and amputations from diabetes-related conditions. This left me feeling a calling to help combat diabetes. I work with patients who are dealing with diabetes, PCOS, and thyroid disease. I believe a collaborative relationship with the patient is the most effective way to achieve positive results. I recognize that many patients, even those with insurance, are dealing with limited resources. When tailoring care plans to fit patients, I consider their resources, seek to identify new resources, and, whenever possible, prescribe affordable medications.

The WOMAN trial was testing whether tranexamic acid, a blood clot stabiliser that was discovered in Japan in the 1950's, can become an essential tool for fighting excessive bleeding soon after giving birth "Postpartum Haemorrhage", which is the is the number one cause of maternal deaths around the world, particularly in low and middle income countries. The World Maternal Antifibrinolytic Trial (Woman Trial) coordinated by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) Clinical Trials Unit (CTU) was an international clinical trial of the effect of Tranexamic Acid on death, hysterectomy and other maternal outcomes, in women with PPH.14 It began in March 2010 and completed patient enrollment in April 2016. Globally the trial recruited 20,060 participants from 200 sites located in 21 countries. The trial writing committee discussed the preliminary findings of the trial and it is hoped that by late 2016 the results of this very important trial will be released.

Q: How to use the update function in 'rhash' I'm having trouble using 'rhash' to update an existing file containing md5 checksums on Ubuntu server 14.04. Here is my script: #!/bin/bash sudo rhash -r -u --md5 /checksum/these/files --output=/checksum/these/files/checksum.md5 The rhash manual says that '-u' will append any new checksums onto the end of the file but when I run my bash script the output file becomes completely blank/no contents whatsoever (it even deletes previously saved checksums from the list). Am I doing anything wrong in my script? Or am I misinterpreting the '-u' option? Any help you geniuses can give me would be awesome =] A: The rhash manual states (emphasis mine): -u, --update Update hash files specified by command line. The program calculates and appends hashes to the updated hash file in the format specified by formating options. Hashes are calculated for those files from the same directory as the hash file, which are yet not present in it. So, the output is added to /checksum/these/files and not to /checksum/these/files/checksum.md5. The /checksum/these/files/checksum.md5 file is created by the --output option but since you're using -u which means "update the original file", no output is printed there. For example: $ date > file1 $ date > file2 $ md5sum * > hashes $ cat hashes 909b1419ee961b556e0013929d8b667e file1 a6de9f219de32fec651e62e3c457169e file2 $ rhash -r -u --md5 hashes --output=new Updated: hashes $ cat hashes 909b1419ee961b556e0013929d8b667e file1 a6de9f219de32fec651e62e3c457169e file2 d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e new $ cat new $ As you can see above, the file new was created before the rest of the command was run, so it was included in the hash check. Since there was no associated hash for new in hashes, a line was appended to the hashes file. On a more general note, please don't use sudo when it isn't needed. If you really do need root access to modify /checksum/these/files, remove the sudo from the script and run the script itself with sudo: sudo /path/to/script.sh.

Q: best-worst ranking: do all items have to be blocked together at least 1 time? Here there are instructions to build Max-diff (or Best-worst) ranking questionnaire: In an ideal world, a MaxDiff experimental design has the following characteristics, where each alternative appears: * *At least 3 times. *The same number of times. *With each other alternative the same number of times (e.g., each alternative appears with each other alternative twice). (Source) I have 25 items, that I repeat three times, and then shuffle them in such a way that they are divided into 15 blocks of 5 items in each block (I can provide here the code in R or Python, but I think it's not relevent here). So conditions (1) and (2) are met. The problem is with the condition (3): there are cases where i-th and j-th items are not met within the same block at all. How crucial is the violation of condition (3) for building best-worst ranking blocks? A: If you violate criterion 3, you have missing information from your study - it is not counterbalanced. 25 items is rather large for a choice experiment. Can you cut down the number of items into a more manageable size? In particular, is there any item or item level that is likely to be dominant? This article may be of help, in particular section 3.3.6. For example, if you have 5 items, each with 5 levels, it may be difficult for your participants to make choices.
