Prairie Dock – Native
Prairie Dock is a very hardy native plant occurring in many different prairie conditions including, rocky, wet, hills and amongst other native grasses. The leaves form a basal rosette with leaves up to 24 inches long. A stalk emerges from the base that is 3 to 10 feet high and is green to red in appearance. The upper part of the stock branches out, with buds forming on each end. The Prairie Dock blooms with 2 -3 inch wide flowers that are reminiscent of sunflowers. Native plants are a wonderful choice for a resilient, natural landscape. These plants are well adapted to the soil type and environmental conditions in the areas where they are found. They allow native insects to find food and shelter which in turn provides a food source for birds and other animals. Prairie Dock is a very long lived perennial.
Silphium terebinthinaceum grows 2 to 3 Feet wide, with flowering stalks reaching up to 10 Feet high. Has an up to 12 foot deep taproot, making it a very tough and durable plant. Somewhat slow to develop, it may take a couple of years to flower. Leaves are tough, making it unappealing to wildlife. Will over time develop offshoots forming new plants. Has no major disease or insect issues.
Care & Shipping Notes
Find the native plant that is just right for your area. Be sure to check the zone to make sure that it will do well where you are planting. Make sure that your soil type and moisture level are adequate for the plant you are wanting to grow. Choose an appropriate plant for shade or sun. Very hardy when planted in their native environment. NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE IN THESE US STATES AND TERRITORIES: AK, HI, GM, PR, VI. We do not ship plants to California due to Department of Agriculture regulations. | [

BCAA BLACK by BLACK EXTREME LABS® is a combination of bcaa's and glutamine for after training. Amino acids increase muscle recovery, delay fatigue and increase strength.
Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) are essential from two points of view:
- Because our organism is not able to produce them.
- On the other hand, as a result of stress (eg after training or lack of nutrients) the muscles first use these amino acids.
In addition, leucine directly stimulates the synthesis of muscle proteins!
In the human organism the amino acid of greater concentration is glutamine. The importance of glutamine is deduced from the fact that 60% of the free amino acids of muscles can be made from this amino acid. During a stress state (such as during and after training) the body is no longer able to meet the demand for glutamine, which is considerably higher. In this state glutamine becomes a conditionally essential amino acid.
Together with muscle tissue, the digestive system and the immune system also need lots of glutamine. The benefits that can be expected from glutamine supplementation are: release of growth hormone, increase in cell volume, increase in glycogen synthesis, decrease in fatigue, boost immune system, improve liver and liver health bowels.
With glutamine supplementation you can always maintain the optimal level of glutamine, maximize cell volume, and as a result, with each workout you can build bigger and stronger muscles. BCAA BLACK 500 GRS by BLACK EXTREME LAS® is both anabolic (because it enhances protein synthesis and release of anabolic hormones), and anti-catabolic (because it lowers muscle catabolism and fuels cells)
Presentation: container of 500 gr.
How to use: as a food supplement, take 1 saucepan (6 grs) after the training, or as directed by the nutritionist.

Stayed with a friend as we had extra time after a hike and wanted to check out Padua. First, to get there take the tram from Stazione FS, 5 stops to Santo. 1,30. It is right around the corner. Use Google maps. Don't take the city bus.
The owners husband greeted us and set us up with a map and a blue room. The decor is funky and the art work unique. I wish I could have a place to hang all of my stuff instead of storing it all. I get it.
This place was perfect for us. Clean and safe is all I need. It will not be for everyone. If you are a big person (I don't mean tall) you might have trouble in the bathroom in terms of space. The breakfast is provided with meats, cheese, rolls, yogurt, fruit, beverage. Definitely recommend as a great location to walk to most all of the Padua highlights. This town is upbeat and young with 60000 students cruising in an ancient city. More

"This house is simply amazing. We rated there with multiple families and there was plenty of room to spread out and get comfortable. They had so many kid friendly things in the house from toys to cribs to games. Everything was well taken care of, the pictures don't even do it justice. The jacuzzi was brand new and so nice to relax in! Not only was the home beautiful but the owners were great to work with. They were very accommodating and always fast to reply to any email. They did everything they could to make our stay comfortable. Me and my family will definitely be back!"

"To keep it short: Saying I was impressed with this property is an understatement. The owner was very accessible and helpful with any questions we had and I will absolutely be contacting her next year for our annual tahoe trip!"
Guest: Alex E.Date of Stay: July 2014Review Submitted: November 7, 2014
"As a previous family mentioned, the pictures do not do this home justice as the grand archway, beautiful decor, and layout cannot be understood until you are there in person. This house hosted 8 adults and 10 kids ranging from 1 to 7 yrs. The layout allows for multiple activities to be going on and not feel crowded at all. Great kitchen layout and gas grill outside. The kids loved the secret play room that you access from one of the room closets. Plenty of activities to enjoy the house with board games, cards/chips, and an awesome foosball table which hosted many rounds of play. The house is 10mins away from Diamond Peak which made for easy drop offs for ski school. It's also very close to the Meadows snow play area off 431 Mt Rose Hwy. Back yard is open and has lots of area to explore. Enjoying the house more than made up for the lack of snow this past weekend.
Easy booking and very responsive owners who care about their home and guests. Cannot wait to visit again!"

"My family and I rented this home for a Thanksgiving reunion with family from out of state, and the house was perfect for us! We loved all the windows and fantastic views from the top floor, and it was great not having any stairs from the garage to the kitchen. As promised, there was plenty of hot water for the 10 of us, and having bathrooms for almost every bedroom was awesome too. And all the beds were comfortable... mine was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in outside of my own home!
Ed was very accommodating and helpful with all my questions. We are already talking about renting it again!"

I am looking to build a solid deer/antelope/possibly elk gun in the near future. When the smoke clears, is there that much difference between the factory actions that a rifle can be built off of? I am not interested in a custom action at this point in my life. This question stems from a rifle that is for sale locally. I can buy a Savage long action rifle for $275. The rifle is obviously used and the barrel has been recrowned (horrible job). With my plan to have a laminate stock made and a new barrel installed, this looks like a great deal. Is there a better chance of the rifle shooting more accurately with a 700 or a model 70 action than the Savage or does it all come down to personal preferance? | [

Kenya media, security forces soul search after Westgate
Should journalists expect support and protection from security agents when they risk their lives to report on security operations? What if their coverage could potentially expose military strategies? Why are journalists disparaged as unpatriotic when they show how security operations fail?
Westgate siege shows press’ lack of security training
Rumor had it that thieves and police had exchanged gunfire during the robbery of a bank at the Westgate Mall. That was the word that first reached some Nairobi newsrooms that Saturday about the gunshots many Kenyans heard coming from the luxurious shopping mall.
Kenyan press face hostile work environment, study finds
The working environment for journalists and media workers in Kenya is increasingly hostile, with at least 91 percent of journalists at local media outlets having faced security threats in the course of their work, a new study has revealed. The harassment of and attacks against journalists, with nearly 40 percent coming from politicians, indicates a…
As Kenya votes, journalists must take precautions
Election-related violence is a worry for journalists in many countries, but perhaps nowhere more so than Kenya, where presidential polls will be held March 4. In the aftermath of the nation’s last presidential elections in 2007, over one thousand people were killed in ethnic and political violence, live news broadcasts were banned, and the press… | [

The didactic program is a key element of the internship-training year. The seminars listed below are provided to broaden exposure to the fundamentals of psychology practice, current state-of-the-art assessment and treatment methods, and new scientific knowledge.
· Cultural and Individual Diversity
This seminar aims to advance the intern’s knowledge, awareness, and sensitivity to issues relevant to the practice of psychology with individuals from diverse groups. Interns will gain advanced knowledge of issues of cultural and individual diversity relevant to clinical practice, supervision, and research. To this end, guest speakers present information and lead discussions related to race, ethnicity, cultural background, religion, sexual orientation, and age. Throughout the seminar, interns are expected to integrate examples from the assigned readings and their own clinical practice and experience into the theoretical discussions.
· Research Outcomes
The goal of this seminar is to ensure interns are good consumers of clinical outcomes research. To accomplish this, interns learn the outcome literature regarding the treatment of the major psychiatric disorders, review and critique existing studies, and design an outcome study. Guest speakers and the interns serve as presenters.
This seminar discusses important issues in professional development, to advance the skills and knowledge base of clinical psychology interns in a range of areas particularly important to their continued professional success after completion of internship. Issues relevant to the practice of psychology will be covered including, but not limited to, obtaining licensure and board certification, practicing professional self-care, obtaining professional positions and negotiating salary. In addition, interns will demonstrate advanced understanding of the APA ethical principles and legal standards affecting the practice of psychology.
The goal of this seminar is to provide an advanced level of knowledge of theoretical principles, methods, and models of supervision. Ethical/legal issues related to supervision and the impact of cultural diversity on supervision will be discussed. Interns will be expected to integrate examples from clinical practice and professional experience into the discussions.
· Program Evaluation
The goal of this seminar is to provide an advanced level of knowledge of theory and methods of program evaluation, and understanding of program evaluation in practice. The internship accreditation and self-study process will be discussed in depth as a model of program evaluation. The seminar will include a group exercise of planning a hypothetical evaluation of a program.
This seminar is led by a psychiatrist and is designed to cover critical information regarding major psychotropic medications. Content includes drug classes, names, basic mechanisms of action, and general prescription strategies.
· Psychiatry Ground Rounds
Research and clinical topics are presented throughout the year by faculty, interns, residents and visiting guest speakers. Interns are encouraged to attend when topics are relevant, and are required to present in this venue once during the course of their internship year.
Interns also attend track-specific didactics during relevant rotations.
· Adult Didactic Case Conference
The overall goal of the seminar is to increase to an advanced level the interns’ knowledge and skill in the practice of professional psychology, specifically in reference to the evaluation and treatment of adults in a medical setting. The seminar also aims to enhance interns’ professional development and understanding of issues critical to the field. The seminar is designed annually to supplement the interns’ experience and to meet intern training needs. Interns are expected to be active discussants in the seminar, integrating theory with practice. They present in the seminar 1-2 times per year.
· Neuropsychology Case Conference
This 1.5-hour weekly seminar is attended by neuropsychology faculty members, post-doctoral residents, psychology interns, graduate students and undergraduates. The goal of this seminar is to increase to an advanced level the knowledge and skill of the participants in issues relevant to the practice of clinical neuropsychology. This includes, but is not limited to, various neurobehavioral syndromes, critical review of research regarding brain-behavior relationships, and integration of research into clinical practice. Each seminar session includes reading and review of 1-2 relevant articles from the literature and discussion of 1-2 clinical cases representing the topic. Interns are expected to present at least once during each rotation.
· Neurology Grand Rounds
Clinical case presentations occur on a weekly basis. Often, the patient is present and participates in a live examination conducted by a faculty neurologist. Neuroradiologic, neuropathologic, electrophysiologic, and medical laboratory findings are presented and reviewed. A didactic presentation regarding the disease process and treatment course also occurs.
· Functional Neuroimaging Journal Club
This weekly meeting is available to neuropsychology major interns or others if interested. It is a multidisciplinary scientific meeting of the faculty in the Center for Advanced Imaging, including Drs. Haut and Moran. Topics vary from the presentation of the literature to presentation and critique of recently collected data or studies being designed by members of the group. | [

People have e-mailed to ask what I really thought of the television series, Rome: Rise and Fall of an Empire. I posted about it before it was shown, but haven’t committed myself post eventum, as it were.
Part of the reason for that is that I have discovered how loyal you become to a programme you have had a hand in. It’s not that I can’t see the faults (for example, the line about the “infamy” of Nero was far too reminiscent of Carry on Cleo, as a number of reviewers pointed out). But I do somehow feel that, in modern management speak, I “own” it.
I realised this just before the series was broadcast, when a guy from the Radio Times rang to quiz me about its “perverse ordering”. Anyone who watched will remember that the first three episodes went chronologically backwards: first Nero, then Julius Caesar, and finally Tiberius Gracchus. I instantly leapt to the defence, with a smart argument about challenging standard forms of historical narration, and advantages of not always telling history from A to B (B to A sometimes works better). True enough, but the emotional force with which this all came out to slightly bemused man from the Radio Times was like that of a mother accusing a (largely) innocent toddler from an unjust accusation.
Anyway, on Tuesday I had another go at defending the show at a “Public History: seminar in Cambridge. This was part of an enterprising line-up of seminars designed to bring “public” and “media” historians face to face with academics. Often they feature big stars like David Starkey. On this occasion it was me and two of the programme makers of Rise and Fall, quizzed by an audience of dons and students.
The discussion was a good one, and happily it ranged much more widely than just our programme – with questions about how you “translate” the ancient world onto the screen. All the same, I felt some of the old knee-jerk defences coming out, particularly when someone asked a perfectly reasonable question about the Gracchus programme: why, given the importance of Tiberius’ brother Gaius, was he completely whited out of the picture?
Beard’s answer, I fear, was a bit of a rant. “How absolutely bloody typical”, I squealed. “Here we are, a posse of programme makers who have put Tiberius Gracchus onto mainstream BBC 1 for the first time ever, given him an audience of close on 5 million …. and, instead of rejoicing, all the academic can do is complain that we didn’t include his brother!” Yes, but...
In many ways the most interesting parts of the discussion came when the guys from the BBC talked about research on people’s watching habits and how this affects getting an audience for a history programme at 9 o’clock in the evening. My own normal “viewing strategy” is to consult the TV Guide and -- if there is something interesting -- to switch on. Apparently I am in a minority. Most people have the television on all evening anyway. Their choice simply revolves around which channel to choose.
For a history programme maker this means how do you get the audience not to turn over as soon as the opening sequence come up. It’s partly a question of what they call “inheritance”. If your documentary on the Romans “inherits” the Super Vets audience, then you stand to lose a lot more of them than if you “inherit” Panorama... unless you have something there in the first minute or so to stop millions of hands reaching for the remote.
And so it was that I began to understand why Michael Sheen as a marvellously mad Nero had to come first. | [

The world famous Casbah and In Your Neighborhood w/Lou Niles Presents
Moments from the Scene
A showing of iconic San Diego rock photography embodying moments captured by some of the most cherished photographers from our music community.
Join us Sunday September 2nd 3p-7p at the Casbah for a gallery of photographs, a Q&A session with some of the photographers and DJ’s spinning local music and other stuff.
View photographic works from Eric Rife, Ted Drake, Miki Vuckovich, Mark Waters, Greg Jacobs, and potentially Sean McMullen and Cari Veach.
Many of the photos from these artists graced album art, PR photos, magazine stories and represent the shows, the moments and the music that etch in our minds moments from the scene we love to remember.
The photographers will display their work around the Casbah and offer an opportunity for you to look back in time and at some of their recent works as well. Most of the photographers are known for images captured in the 90’s music scene explosion in San Diego that bring to mind bands like Drip Tank, Heavy Vegetable, Three Mile Pilot, Pitchfork, Drive Like Jehu, Inch Rocket From the Crypt, and so many others. Cari Veach will represent the new cool underground music from today’s scene. We hope to have her on hand.
Various stalwarts from the music scene will interview a number of the photographers so don’t miss those sessions on the main stage. Dj’s will spin local music and other cool stuff, enjoy the musical mood settings by Pall Jenkins(black heart procession, three mile pilot), Mitch Wilson (No Knife, Lunar Maps), and Lou Niles (IYN, Loudspeaker).
Photographers will also have works available for purchase or ordering.
Come one come all $5 cover 3pm-7pm

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/960,557, filed Oct. 3, 2007, the contents of which are incorporated in their entirety herein by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
The following description relates generally to wireless communications and, more particularly, in a wireless communication environment through adaptive pilot allocation.
2. Background of the Invention
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a method of digital modulation in which a signal is split into several narrowband channels, or sub-carriers, at different frequencies. These sub-carriers typically overlap in frequency, but are designed not to interfere with each other as would be the case with traditional frequency division multiplexing (FDM). In addition, the sub-carriers may be efficiently separated using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm.
Each sub-carrier is modulated with a conventional modulation scheme at a low symbol rate (i.e., rate at which a symbol is transmitted, a symbol being a set of data), maintaining data rates similar to other conventional modulation schemes in the same bandwidth. Thus each data stream is a lower speed data transmission, but the aggregate data transmission speed is high. This method allows for high data-rate transmissions over frequency-selective fading channels.
Because of these advantages, OFDM has received considerable interest in recent years. However, OFDM systems require channel state information (CSI) for data transmission and detection. The inclusion of CSI facilitates performance of OFDM in the presence of frequency-selective fading and interference, and allows for data detection and channel equalization in such systems.
In a mobile system, for example, CSI is usually obtained by multiplexing pilot signals with data at a base station, transmitting the data to a mobile station, and estimating the channel at the mobile station with the aid of the pilot signals. The channel can be estimated as the relation of the received pilot signals to the transmitted pilot signals. The performance of the channel estimate (CE) is dependent on the pattern of the pilot signals.
Conventional use of OFDM has included an equally-spaced pilot signal pattern to optimize performance for one-dimensional channel estimation in a quasi-static channel with regard to a mean square error (MSE) of a least squares (LS) channel estimator. In conventional pilot signal pattern schemes implemented in wireless communication systems utilizing OFDM, pilots signals are allocated onto equally-spaced subcarriers one-by-one as a function of carrier frequency. However, such a conventional pattern scheme does not consider inter-carrier interference (ICI) caused by Doppler spread.
In addition, in a mobile environment, such as a car or a train, the CE at the receiver varies as a function of time. A mobile station moving at a high rate of speed can lead to system impairments. For example, in a communication system in a high speed mobile environment, the Doppler spread can be large and lead to a large amount of ICI. As a result, the ICI can significantly degrade the channel estimate (CE) accuracy. Depending on a Doppler spread in the frequency domain, ICI can cause deterioration in the quality of service (QoS). That is, when a high level of ICI is present in a signal, the signal used to modulate a particular sub-carrier disturbs other sub-carriers.
When ICI is large, the performance of CE may be bounded by the ICI. The pilot signal schemes illustrated and described herein are not only effective to deal with AWGN but also perform a function of ICI cancellation.
In one aspect, there is provided a method for adaptively allocating pilot signals in a wireless communication system. The method includes receiving channel data, including | [

Aaron Blight, Ed.D., is in tune with the struggles families face as they care for aging relatives. It’s the reason why he wrote When Caregiving Calls: Guidance as You Care for a Parent, Spouse, or Aging Relative.
Now through Caregiving Kinetics, we are pleased to offer author visits (in-person or virtual) by Dr. Blight to caregiver support groups everywhere. A visit with Dr. Blight will allow caregiver support group participants to engage in a meaningful discussion about their caregiving experiences. Caregivers will have the opportunity to read the book written especially for them, share feelings and insights, and learn from one another during an exchange facilitated by the author.
- A presentation from Dr. Aaron Blight at your upcoming Caregiver Support Group
- 10 Copies of Dr. Blight’s Book When Caregiving Calls: Guidance as You Care for a Parent, Spouse, or Aging Relative
- Question & Answer with Dr. Blight
- A handout for caregivers to spur dialogue and engagement with their loved one
Bulk book orders are available for when your organization needs more than the 10 copies that are included. Please reach out via the bulk order form on the book page.
At Caregiving Kinetics, we have experience being family caregivers, helping family caregivers, and studying family caregivers. We are in tune with the struggles families face as they care for aging relatives.
We understand how easy it is to focus only on the needs of the care recipient. When a loved one is terminally ill or functionally incapacitated, family caregivers often sacrifice their time, their resources, and their health in an effort to provide care. As a result, many family caregivers experience – but may not recognize – the physical, mental, and relationship burdens associated with their caregiving responsibilities.
We help organizations working with family caregivers through our family caregiver support services, which include: group speaking engagements; access to the most effective evidence-based approach assisting family caregivers; and custom project-based consulting. | [

"Children of eight, ten, or twelve years are old enough
to be addressed on the subject of personal religion.
Do not teach your children with reference to some future period
when they shall be old enough to repent and believe the truth.
If properly instructed, very young children may have correct views
of their state as sinners and of the way of salvation through Christ"
–Ellen White, Child Guidance, p. 490.
This baptismal study guide will prepare children age 8-10 for a wonderful walk with Jesus. It offers lessons with activities that parents and children can enjoy together as a bonding experience. The activities include not only fill-in-the-blank but also word games, Bible crosswords, and even a maze.
The authors use simple but effective object lessons from everyday life to explain basic doctrines such as the gospel, Sabbath, Second Coming, tithing, diet, dress, death, judgment, the gift of prophecy, and baptism. What Jesus does for us in the judgment, for example, is like what a boy in any ordinary family might do for his naughty puppy who messed up the carpet.

and deliberation and how one gives birth
to oneself slowly. Patience with small details
makes perfect a large work, like the universe ~ RUMI
We are in our Dark Moon time until tomorrow night when she moves into the New Moon in Cancer at 7:48 pm PST, (10:48 pm EST). She moves into the sign of cancer tomorrow morning at 10:59 am PST (1:59 pm EST).
During this New Moon phase, we will also be experiencing a partial solar eclipse. A solar eclipse is when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth and the Moons shadow blocks the Suns light from sharing her ultraviolet radiation with our ionosphere. The ionosphere is an electrified layer of charged particles that surrounds the Earth. This energy exchange of incoming radiation from the sun causes a swelling in the ionosphere and therefore this layer is always larger during the day than at night.
Cancer is a cardinal, water sign that is ruled by the Moon and rules the stomach teaching us to go with our intuitive, gut feelings. When the Moon is in Cancer we can find her influencing our emotions and focusing us on home, family and the nurturing of ourselves and others.
This dark moon I encourage you to explore the archetypal energy of Lilith, a Dark Moon Goddess.
My dear friend, Candice Covington, describes the Dark Goddess as the goddess of the unconscious, of the dissolution or undoing of things. She shares, “the Dark Goddess teaches us that by going inward to the cause instead of ascending away if we can deal with the aspects of the self and life. We are often taught to fear the power of the Dark Goddess ~ darkness, destruction, dissolution – but her energy is that of the dark moon, the force of rebirth.” Candice describes Lilith as a catalyst for thriving in your original nature. Lilith, she says, “shows us that being cut off from our soul and our sense of self-worth is to be cut off from our power, strength, and potential. To connect with her energy is to open ourselves to our own inner bravery until we find firm footing in our unique, perfect soul. She is the energy of pure possibility without restriction.”
Under these mixed energies of Dark Moon, New Moon, and partial Solar Eclipse, I offer the following thoughts for ritual:
- Take a bath tonight or tomorrow under the Dark of the Moon (prior to 7:48 pm). Call on the energy of Lilith to assist you in moving into your unconscious to access information that you have forgotten and to remember the women of power and strength that birthed us. Adding gemstones (moonstone, black tourmaline, red jasper, or garnet), candles and essential oils (lotus, jasmine, or peppermint) to inspire and activate energies. Water can teach us the path of least resistance ~ follow it.
- The solar eclipse starts at 6:48 pm PST (9:48 pm EST) and the New Moon is at 7:48 pm PST. Where ever you are, try to take the time to notice what your body senses at the time of these subtle energy shifts between Moon, Sun, and Earth. Trust.
- Under this New Moon connect to your feelings and see where they lead you. Acknowledge what you have overcome.
The Moon is there for us to learn to how to cycle through the dark to light and back into the dark again ~ it is a daily, monthly, yearly, lifetime of death and rebirth. She is here to guide us on our journey with ourselves. | [

I recently played all the ZZT games made from 1991 to at least the end of 2003, maybe beyond - nearly two thousand games in all. Of those I have selected just 66 to be included in my list of "best ZZT games ever."
While I am not a fan of drawn-out adventures that have big square rooms and enemies that quickly get boring (A Dwarvish Mead Dream, case in point) there was something special about the way this game played out. The attention payed to developing the storyline was nicer than it should have been - the entire game utilizes only one cutscene, and so you are the actor in the development of the story; your actions determine how it comes about. I salute master raze: I can't remember if this is the only game of his i have in my list, but i give a nod to everything he's done. peace.

Intake involves a lot of paperwork.
Getting a client signed up for a drug treatment program involves a lot of paperwork that needs to be completed before the counseling can begin. Drug counselors need to know how to do this function, although the exact paperwork they will have to do can vary a great deal from program to program. Many treatment agencies now use computerized systems. As the counseling field shifts towards more electronic records, more of the intake paperwork will end up on the computer. Some systems now include electronic signature pads that will capture the client’s signature onto the electronic file.
Some of this paperwork part can be done by office staff. Larger drug treatment programs may have one person assigned to do the intake paperwork. There are some advantages to having the primary counselor, the one the client will see the client throughout treatment, do the intake. When the client first comes into drug treatment, they are likely to be anxious and uncertain. Developing a relationship, establishing rapport, is an essential part of what staff at a drug treatment program must do. It’s easier to build up a rapport when the client sees the same person throughout treatment.
Informed consent is a required part of treatment.
Informed consent is not a separate specific drug counselor function, but it should be incorporated into all the intake paperwork as part of the legal and ethical responsibilities of a counselor. Fees need to be discussed during the first session the staff spends with the client.
Limits of confidentiality and the exceptions to them, need to be explained to the client. What information will the program keep confidential and what information might be disclosed. Drug counseling has an extremely high requirement for confidentiality. Drug counselors should not even confirm or deny that someone is in their program.
Drug counselors are mandated reporters who must report clients who are a danger to themselves or others. They also are required to report abuse of the child, an elderly, or a disabled person. In some jurisdictions, they may be required to report clients who view child pornography. All these exceptions to confidentiality need to be explained to the client during the intake process.
Because so many clients are referred to drug treatment by the criminal justice system, parole probation, or the courts, more of the client’s information may be divulged than might happen in mental health counseling.
As part of the evidence that you did informed consent, the client will be required to sign a form called either a consent for treatment or a treatment agreement.
Consent to release information forms.
If any information about a client will be released to an outside party, a specific form called a consent for release of information should be filled out and signed by the client. These forms are often referred to by counselors as “releases.” Most releases can be revoked by the client, which must be done in writing if they decide they want the drug program to stop releasing information. One exception to this right to revoke consent to release information is the “criminal justice consent form.”
If the criminal justice system has sent a client to your program, they will require information about that client. If the client does not wish to sign a release of information, you will not be able to admit that client to your program. Clients who attend a drug treatment program without signing a release for the criminal justice system will not have met their legal requirements for a court-mandated program.
Financial forms are part of drug counseling intakes.
For most programs, someone is paying for treatment. If it’s insurance, then there will be insurance forms to fill out. If the treatment is paid for by the criminal justice system or the child protective services, there will be other forms they will need to fill out. Clients who self-pay will still need to fill out a financial agreement. Some programs have a sliding scale fee agreement for low-income clients. Providing financial information and filling out additional forms may be a part of qualifying for these reduced fees.
HIPPA notice of privacy practices.
Almost all programs nowadays are “covered entities” and must follow the HIPPA regulations. The counselor needs to give the client a notice of privacy practices and have the client sign a form saying they received this information.
Clients need to provide the program with their demographic information. You need to know who it is you’re working with. It’s good practice to have an address and phone number for this client. This form might also next of kin.
Consent to follow-up.
Some programs do follow-up studies to see how effective their treatment is. Studying the results of treatment may be a condition of receiving funding from grants or contracts with governmental agencies. It’s a good practice to have written permission to follow-up, signed at the time of intake. You should also make sure you know how you are allowed to contact the client. If the phone number they gave you is a work phone, they may not want you calling there for | [

“Great school counselors recognize students’ fears, flaws, and fragility, and have a knack for reaching sullen and unresponsive students, as well as those who are having the time of their lives, but not attaining their full potential.
… Drama, both real and imagined, is a part of your everyday life. On occasion, a portion of your job is easy because some students are focused, mature, organized, goal oriented, supported, and secure in themselves and their relationships. More often, you work with young children, pre-teens, adolescents, and young adults who are experiencing growing pains that range from a falling out with a friend to serious and repeated abusive relationships, self-destructive behavior, or a complete and total lack of interest in their own future. Great counselors have outstanding interpersonal abilities, strong communication skills, AND an aptitude for analyzing and problem solving. On top of all that, counselors are accomplished multi-taskers.”

John Dyer Painting. French Bunting and Wine, Nyons, Provence, France.
Nyons in Provence has provided a wonderful palette of colour for artist John Dyer. French bunting lines the street which is full of activity. Sausage dogs, pigeons and shoppers enjoy the sunny town. A couple sit at the café drinking local red wine & the plane tree frames the composition. A fabulous painting of Provence. Shutters, bikes, baskets of food and more. Wonderful.
John Dyer: In the 1950s simple neutral frames became popular for St Ives artists. John chooses an off-white so the lightest tones appear in the painting. The moulding is a variation of 'Salvator Rosa' from Italy. Hand finished in almond white paint. | [

Green solvents are meant to spare human health and the environment. They’re measured by green chemistry principles such as waste prevention, atom economy (i.e., full use of materials), less hazardous syntheses, safe chemical design, energy efficiency, renewability, reduced derivatives, catalysis, biodegradability, pollution prevention, and accident prevention. In a perfect world, the perfect green solvent would get an A+ on each criterion. Green chemistry, however, may involve mitigating harm rather than a complete lack thereof.
A recent review explored green solvents for lipid extraction. The solvents fell into one of three categories: organic-based solvents, ionic liquids (including deep eutectic solvents), and carbon dioxide (CO2).
Lipid Extraction with Organic-Based Green Solvents
Organic-based green solvents include ethanol derived from renewable feedstock and even petroleum-derived solvents such as cyclopentyl methyl ether (albeit lacking renewability). However, the review also included terpene solvents, particularly D-limonene, α-pinene, and p-cymene.
The researchers note that, paired with Soxhlet extraction on microalgae, terpenes achieved 100% solvent recovery using a Simultaneous Distillation and Extraction Process (SDEP). Purity levels indicated that the solvent could be recycled to other ends, including other SDEP processes.
Pretreatment prior to extraction with organic-based solvents can improve outcomes with techniques like ultrasound and microwave treatment that “[aim] to break the cell wall so that intracellular lipids become available for extraction.”
Lipid Extraction with CO2
Supercritical CO2 extraction is generally considered the gold standard for green extraction. CO2 is better suited for extracting higher yields of lipids from microalgae compared to yeast cells. [5,6] Again, pretreatment can be instrumental to higher success rates, and “the appropriate [pretreatment] method is conditioned by the morphological characteristics of the material to be extracted.”
Because of CO2’s nonpolar nature, the addition of cosolvents like ethanol to increase the extraction of polar compounds has been investigated. However, success depends on what you’re trying to extract, with some studies revealing a reverse effect. [7,8] The review didn’t cover cannabis extraction (other than seeds) where cosolvents are commonly used to boost yield and efficiency.
Lipid Extraction with Ionic Liquids
Ionic liquids (ILs) are organic salts, stable and liquid at low temperatures (< 100°C). Because of the viscosity of ionic liquids – an obstacle to extraction efficacy – the use of a cosolvent is required. Methanol has proven to be one such effective cosolvent, though not a green solvent. Microwave and ultrasound irradiation also reduce the viscosity of ionic liquids.
Ionic liquids may seem greener in theory than in practice. Their synthesis may involve toxic compounds and consume lots of energy, and their biodegradability is dubious.
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are like ionic liquids in properties, but they are cheaper, easier, renewable, and biodegradable. Data on DESs is still limited, however.
The reviewers note that the implementation of green extraction technologies, let alone the replacement of non-green ones, is a long process subject to market competition.
“With the reduction in price and the restriction and greater regulation of fossil solvents with stricter laws, the operating costs associated with the use of these solvents should include greater equipment monitoring and emissions control, which may result in increased costs in the use of traditional fossil solvents and pave the way for the use of greener technologies.”

ARABS-UN - June 16 - Lebanon Rejects Annan's Confirmation On Withdrawal.
(UN map experts and others were to have checked that all Israeli troops and officials have pulled back behind an international border demarcated in 1923. Israel announced its withdrawal on May 24.) On June 16, Annan says: "I am delighted to tell you that the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon has today reported to me that Israel has withdrawn from the country in full compliance with Security Council resolution 425". He speaks at a news conference minutes before he leaves for the ME "to see what the UN can do to consolidate and build on today's achievement". Shortly after Annan's statement, Lebanese PM Hoss rejects it, saying, "I do not think the UN secretary-general could announce the completion of the withdrawal according to UN Resolution 425 if he knew these facts", adding: "With deep regret, and it is clear this evening, Israel did not withdraw from all Lebanese lands". He says: "Israeli military positions are still inside the Lebanese borders and some Lebanese lands are still under Israeli control in an overt violation". Diplomats say Annan told the Council Israel was late in withdrawing from one border position, known as "marker 18". One envoy says: "He confirmed the withdrawal on the basis of an understanding that the installation was being removed", adding that UN troops would check again to see this had been done. UN officials say Lebanon as well as Israel have objections to some of the border markings but have agreed to disagree for the time being. (Annan had spoken to Lebanese Pres. Lahoud before he made the announcement. Israel withdrew its troops on May 24.)
Annan leaves for Paris en route to visit several countries in the ME, starting in Morocco, where he will meet Saudi Arabian officials. Annan says before his departure: "This is not the end of the long road toward peace in the region, but I hope it will be seen as the beginning of the end". He also submits a report in which Lebanon and Israel raised objections to the borderline. However, the report says: "Notwithstanding the reservations of the 2 governments about the withdrawal line, Israel and Lebanon have confirmed that identifying this line was the responsibility solely of the UN and that they will respect the line as identified". Annan's ME envoy, Terje Roed Larsen, says at a news conference, the Lebanese government had made clear it "would respect the decision of the UN as concerns the Israeli withdrawal".
Roed Larsen says any final legal boundary line was up to countries to determine and not the UN. But he says the line drawn by UN experts "is in our opinion in full conformity with the international boundaries of Lebanon and Israel" and was based on the best evidence available. (The verification was delayed by disagreements, with Lebanon complaining that the pullback line delineated by the UN did not correspond with the international border.) On June 15, Israeli soldiers fired shots near a UN team visiting one of the remaining unchecked border sites, forcing the UN inspection team, comprised of UN and Lebanese officials, to retreat from the immediate area.

Even when the tide is coming in you can still have fun.
I should start by saying that what I know is invariably the product of my work with teams. In my last design role I was VP of Product at Local Search Startup Krillion, before that I completed a six-year tour of duty with Ariba, and going further back, thirteen years at Vector, a design studio I started and owned in Toronto. It’s an interesting journey that’s taken me from fledgling designer/entrepreneur to veteran User Experience director/evangelist. From start to finish, the teams I’ve worked with, and those I’ve built have been stellar.
The narrative approach I’ve chosen appealed to me after culling through hundreds of resumes feeling “there has to be a more creative way to present this career history.” My LinkedIn profile is available of course but I hope you’ll take the time to read on. Scrolling is never an imposition on the user if the content is compelling 😉
In my Toronto studio feedback on our designs was anecdotal. Clients occasionally ran focus groups but for the most part our yardstick for success was whether we were given another paying assignment. As the web came to dominate our identity work, we looked at server logs and tried to divine user experience from rudimentary reports.
At Ariba I was introduced to User Research and began what has become a love affair with the discipline that informed all our design work and kept us honest. The impact of user studies is typically inescapable and critical to building usable applications/sites. Ariba’s labs saw a constant stream of participants, live and remote, internal and external during an iterative cycle of design and development.
In our UX advocacy role we had success bringing stakeholder groups into the light.
With respect to testing I tried to pilot all the studies we ran, reasoning there was no better way to stay informed and influence the functionality firehose we didn’t always have the bandwidth to direct with prototypes. Increasingly it became clear that field research paid huge dividends. Finding opportunities and budget to make that happen remained one of my principle goals.
In late 2000 I took responsibility for driving Ariba’s compliance with ADA 508 legislation. The June 2001 enforcement deadline loomed just over the horizon and we knew next to nothing about the standard. In truth, not many people did, least of all the government officials charged with interpreting it.
It was a sobering and emotional journey at times. It took me to Florida to work with the State Disability Office and a remarkable group of users: a blind agency director, a blind IT Manager, a quadriplegic lawyer and a 27-year veteran purchasing agent. Each day all of them overcame enormous challenges to lead productive lives and all they wanted us to do was make sites and web applications function reasonably so they could keep their jobs.
Hearing a blind user listening to a screen-reader at 300 words per minute or navigating around a page by remembering a complex series of tab clicks made an indelible impression.
Here especially there was no substitute for observing real users. It taught us that the technical standards themselves were only a means to an end, and that clean structural markup was more important than a collection of affordances like skip navigation links and proper alt attributes. Looking back we clearly made progress but it’s an area where web design can better partner with assistive technology to help users.
Great visual design is seldom the result of compromise, and yet it seems I’ve spent most of my professional career finding ways to bend but not break. Complex web projects are inherently collaborative – depending on the multi-disciplinary skills of dozens or hundreds of specialists most of whom are technical – so it’s no surprise that visual decisions can spark spirited debate.
Visual design is much more than making things look pretty, it’s about readable typography, appropriate information density, selective emphasis that balances initial and repeat usage, and information graphics that communicate rather than confuse. Generally I believe less is more and nowhere is there more need for restraint than in the design of web applications.
At Ariba I had some success in propagating a simpler visual treatment. The framework was basically monochromatic. Color highlights were reserved for key interactions and status. Branding was controlled by a single css file. The objective being to make the applications usable and attractive, and for the most part we achieved that goal.
My biggest failure at Ariba was my inability to control the proliferation of icons in the UI. If there was an international treaty governing their use, I’d sign it. Used selectively to represent clear concepts like error, warning or new, icons are a powerful, space-efficient visual device for the designer. When they’re sprinkled like confetti or used to encapsulate complex concepts like “approved negotiation task” they become tiny visual puzzles that distract and slow the user.

You need to make sure you are buying enough coverage. For instance, you could choose a policy that pays you $500,000 in the event of the home's destruction. Make sure you base the replacement cost on more than just the current market value of the home.

I meditate since a short time, but I experienced a joyfull feeling once recently. It happened when I was able to kept completely concentrated on my breathing for a longer time than usual. For me, it was not the heart, but there was a kind of light and warm feeling in the front of my head - like if it was in my brain. It was a very nice sensation and it came with a feeling of joy.
I think I read somewhere that it is better not to cling to this feeling and that we will get used to it, then we will reach an other state. Can anyone confirm that? | [

This was the first time in my six years as a Senator that none of my interim committees met for two months. It freed me up to visit several city council meetings and attend other events which I feel help keep me up to date. One of those cities I visited was Emerado for an informal citizen’s meeting. We in District 20 are host to the site of the Grand Sky Initiative which is located on the western side of the Grand Forks Air Force Base. As you can imagine, Emerado, situated across Highway 2 from the AFB, has hopes of capitalizing on this buildup of private jobs. Houses are in very short supply as witnessed by the fact that some of their law enforcement personnel have been looking for appropriate shelter in town for some time. They have a solution to a problem that many of our District 20 towns have had in common; lack of growth. But now they have other problems, with housing at the head of them followed closely by school bond issues to pass and child care amongst others.
Portland, Mayville, Hatton, Reynolds and Hillsboro were also on my agenda for listening in on city council meetings these last couple of months. A few observations from across these towns: for one, many of them had spring cleanup announcements to get out, which brought up a related and seemingly universal problem – blight. All of our communities seem to have someone whose property has gotten out of hand. Listening to the councils speak of the people involved was sometimes humorous and always a bit exasperating for those trying to keep things presentable. Child care merited mention at a few meetings as did street cleaning, street projects, street lighting and developing land for residents. For instance, I mentioned to the Reynolds council that what I remembered as their number one issue on my last visit was their lack of land available for real estate. They had solved that with some building sites on the west of town and are proceeding with infrastructure. Like Hillsboro, Buxton, Grandin and Thompson, they have the obvious advantage of being close to I-29.
Township meetings, Traill County Economic Development meetings, meetings with Higher Education officials, community clubs and meetings with industry people concerned with budget cut ramifications such as our Long Term Care Association took some time and attention.
It was good these past six years to see some increase in funding for many portions of our government, but it helps them and me to be in front of them during these tougher times as well because it is pretty much impossible to be detached when one knows the people involved. Hopefully, you stop to visit with your city council member, county commissioner, law enforcement, township officers or city/county and state employees once in a while because then we get to understand the issues better. We like to complain about taxes, but we can ill afford to do without the services they deliver. That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it. | [

In his compelling book, The Human Odyssey, Dr Thomas Armstrong gives an introduction to the idea of the twelve stages of life that all mankind are faced with navigating and going through in essence of living life to the fullest. In the book the author submits that the age of 20-35 years old, which is “Young Adult” or the age of early adulthood, is a demanding age of enterprise. This is where most young people experience the boldness of enterprise that comes with the burning pressure of achieving their dreams and goals.
Coincidentally, this is the age that the 1994 “Born Frees” generation finds itself trying to navigate their dreams and challenges of being young. Unlike the popular phrases that came with the dawn of democracy, being “freedom” and “rainbow nation”, the young people of this country still find themselves trapped in the reality of peniaphobia. This causes them to find solace in the pillaging and most horrible drugs such as Nyaope. It leads them into an overwhelmingly depressed society that still bears the brunt of unanswered questions about the real fruits of democracy 25 years since the first democratic elections took place in South Africa.
The relentless global pandemic scourge hit South Africa and the world where no one had expected. This was a perfect time for political party candidates, that are summoned to serve the young democracy, of proving the competency promised to the voters by political parties. The pandemic however, has only proved that we are a country on a ticking time bomb of revolt – a crime scene of systematic poverty pursued by corruption and neglect of public services – whilst the voices of the young people continuously screams without any urgent response to their request. This is most evident when young people are forced to reflect on the fruits of freedom harvested from the tree of liberty planted by the young and restless of 1976. Yet the grumbling of their empty stomach is hard to ignore in a country were the economy is catastrophically plunging and collapsing.
Land is still a scarce resource for mere residential purposes and section 25 is still a pipe dream of political sloganeering instead of a priority of the statesman. The judgement of the Constitutional court comes right at the time when the credibility and reliability of political parties is at question. This outcome has left many thinkers peddling through the streets of social media with a confrontation of ideas. Was there any difference in the practicality of political parties or were the young and unemployed voters,who are deeply entrenched into academic debt, left with no choice? No choice but to support the better devil between different political icons who have the similar motives of self-enrichment over public development.
The 25 years of democracy in a post-colonial, anti-black state such as South Africa is enough to remind us that the youth of this country have no one else but themselves to change the narrative of a country. A country lead by many alleged fraudsters and corrupt officials that are continuously awarded with higher positions as an opportunity to further plunge the lives of our fellow countrymen into a state of extreme poverty. With the rate that development is undertaken in South Africa, being young, black and free is simply a mask that hides the reality of being poor, unemployed, and hopeless without land.
It is no secret that the President has announced that young people will be most affected by the pandemic’s streak of retrenchments and loss of jobs. This comes not long after the same young people took to the streets demanding the fall of fee increment and later the scrapping of fees entirely on Higher Education. These are the same young people who recently took to the streets demanding an intervention of government legislation on the demands made by the private sector of work experience to recent varsity graduates. These graduates are mostly under privileged and are from areas that cannot even provide them with proper and decent internships. Is it a coincidence that in a space of 5 years since the Fees Must Fall protests in 2015 till date, the life of a young person in South Africa has been on a constant state of shock and depression. A life encompassed with no positive returns from a government that prides itself on a peaceful transition into democracy yet fruitless and dormant in the economic liberation of its youth. Or are we left alone to confront the sad realities of a Gender based violent state that constantly reports high numbers of murder cases against women and children and sky rocketing numbers of suicides and depression found in the same youth that is “born free”.
The answer to ending these chronic social ills lies in the hands of the youth taking action against the horrible acts of a systematic and institutionalised violence of poverty. The same horrible acts that seem to be neglected and ignored by political leaders who constantly benefit one way or another from the votes of the poorest of the poor. The answer is found in our ability to organise and challenge the collective thuggery pursued and protected by the ruling class through the hand of state capture and capitalist interests. Till then young people shall remain in a space where peniaph | [

Police patrols will confront gun crime, not Labour's red tape
Have you ever tried getting hold of a shotgun licence? It's an herculean effort, let me tell you. First off, you need to visit the police station just to ask for the form (of course you can't print it off the internet). They'll want to know about your speeding convictions, and how to contact your local GP. The doctor will be interrogated to see if you're of sound mind, and then the process begins properly. You need a gun cabinet securely bolted to a wall of your house (and preferably hidden in a purpose-built cupboard), and then you can inform your local firearms officer that he can visit to inspect it. In the next few weeks, he'll pop round, then your form is processed by the authorities. Woe betide you if the passport photos were forgotten or, needless to say, if you're really after a rifle.
Look, I don't really have a problem with stringent gun laws. For most people who abide by them, they seem tedious and unnecessary. But as long as they reduce serious crime and stop people being hurt or killed, then we should put up with them.
And that's the problem: they're not doing anything of the sort. According to figures obtained by the Conservatives, gun crime in the UK has almost doubled in the last decade. Tom Whitehead reports:
Offences involving firearms have increased in all but four police areas in England and Wales since 1998, figures obtained by the Tories reveal.
One part of the country has seen the problem increase almost seven fold as the availability of guns, and criminals' willingness to use them rises.
The number of people injured or killed by a gun has also doubled under Labour.
Naturally, you wouldn't know all of this if you went to the Home Office website. There, you'll only hear about a 2 per cent drop in firearm offences last year, and how the government has introduced a minimum five-year sentence for possessing an illegal firearm. Worse still, the Home Office gloats that the age limit for possession of an air rifle is now 17, as if it's a team of 15 year-olds converting them to fire live ammunition.
This government is in a desperate situation over gun crime. Last week, police officers armed with submachine guns were deployed on routine patrol for the first time. It was a step in the right direction: as the Shadow Home Secretary, Chris Grayling, points out, it's guns in areas dominated by gang culture, turf wars, and drug dealing which cause the most violence and death. So why has it taken Labour twelve years to realise that it's police patrols, not red tape, which will confront a growing threat to public safety?

An ocean area almost the size of Australia could support commercial seaweed farming worldwide, providing food for people, feed additives for livestock and alternative fuel, according to new research.
Seaweed farming is a nascent industry globally, but studies show that if it could make up 10% of human food by 2050, it would reduce an area twice the size of France by 110 million hectares (272 million acres). can
But there are a number of potential negative impacts on marine life that need to be balanced against the benefits of the global seaweed farming industry, the study’s authors said.
The study looked at 34 species of seaweed and where they could possibly grow, and then narrowed it down to places with calm enough waters and close enough to populations where farms could be established.
About 650 million hectares (1,606 million acres) have been identified as suitable for seaweed cultivation, with the largest areas in Indonesia and Australia, both of which have large ocean regions under their economic control.
“Cultivating seaweed for food, feed and fuel on even a small portion of the 650 m ha of suitable ocean can have enormous benefits for land use, waste reduction, water and fertilizer use,” the authors write.
Scott Spillias, a researcher at the University of Queensland in Australia, led the study Published in Nature Sustainabilitysaid: “People all over the world look at the ocean as this great ‘untapped’ resource and ask if we should be using it more.”
One of the biggest benefits of research will be the cultivation and use of red Asparagopsis as a cattle feed additive resulting in dramatically lower methane emissions from cows. A supplement based on seaweed It is reported that it was put up for commercial sale to farmers in Australia last year.
The study suggested reducing methane emissions from use Asparagopsis It could save 2.6 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year by 2050, the same as India’s current greenhouse gas footprint.
Spillias said that including more seaweed in the human diet could also provide benefits. In parts of Asia, seaweed makes up 2% of diets, but globally increasing this to 10% could save 110 million hectares of land currently used to grow food.
“Basically it’s people eating more vegetables,” he said. “If we grow seaweed, it’s best for people to eat it rather than feed it to livestock, but that will require some big cultural changes.”
The nine authors from Australia and Austria said more work is needed to understand the costs and benefits of any increase in seaweed farming, but “the magnitude of the potential benefits supports the idea that ocean seaweed farming could play an important role in our work.” response to global sustainability challenges.”
A A review of the risks of expanding seaweed farming in Europe in 2019 highlighted concerns that farms could disrupt the balance of marine ecosystems and alter the movement of water around coastlines.
“Converting even a few million hectares is a huge improvement,” Spillias said. “We’re changing habitats and introducing materials to places we haven’t been before.
“Many seaweed farms now use plastic ropes and nets, and we know the impact of plastic on the ocean. “If this is going to be done on a large scale, we need to find better materials.”
I said that if there is a global push to grow seaweed, it could have social consequences.
“The seafood industry doesn’t have a great record on human rights, and if we’re farming seaweed mostly out of sight, then we have to think about the people in the industry and make sure they’re treated fairly,” he said.

Following a long history positioned as a mainstream brand providing cars, trucks, SUVs, and minivans to American consumers, Dodge is in the midst of a transformation. Or a wind-down, depending on whom you ask.
Take a look at the Dodge pictures in the Autobytel archive, and it is easy to see the changes that are taking place. If you’re looking for recent Dodge photos of the pickup trucks and commercial vehicles, you’ll want the RAM photo galleries. And while the newest Viper sports car remains listed with the Dodge images on our website, parent company Chrysler Group LLC has officially branded the latest version of the Viper as a Street and Racing Technology (SRT) model.
Rumors are swirling that the Grand Caravan minivan is nearing the end of a run spanning more than three decades, that a Chrysler Cuda model is in the works, and that Dodge might also lose the big Durango SUV when a new 7-passenger, 3-row Jeep model arrives. Dodge has also announced a delay in a replacement for the aging Avenger family sedan.
If such changes come to pass, Dodge will be left with five models, the newest one being the Alfa Romeo-based Dart compact sedan. Chrysler Group LLC has insisted that Dodge is here to stay, but as key models are peeled off and as industry forecasters offer few predictions about the future of the Avenger, Challenger, Charger, and Journey, it is easy to understand why some people believe that models wearing the Dodge brand represent an endangered species. | [

General Motors is putting some big money into new, more fuel efficient engines and transmissions.
Ford is bringing out one of the smallest engines to ever go into an American car, and it’s all in the name of fuel economy.
BMW of North America said it will recall nearly 200,000 luxury vehicles to fix leaks that could develop in the power braking system.
General Motors Wednesday announced an interesting engine venture with one of its Chinese partners.
Toyota Motor Corp. said Thursday about 270,000 cars sold worldwide – including luxury Lexus sedans – have faulty engines, the latest quality lapse to hit the automaker following massive global recalls. | [

Meet M Vanitha and Ritu Karidhal, women behind Chandrayaan-2
India launched yesterday’s Chandrayaan-2 mission and the nation celebrated the achievement as well as the females behind the mission. Two women, M Vanitha and Ritu Karidhal, led the ISRO expedition for the first time in India’s space mission history.
India marked another extremely proud time in history as ISRO introduced its second mission to the moon, Chandrayaan-2.
The Chandrayaan-2 was introduced at Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh on board GSLV (Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle) Mark-III from the Satish Dhawan Space Center to continue to the South Polar region of the Moon.
As the nation celebrates the proudest time, people are also praising the wonderful minds behind the mission’s achievement, and they are two incredible women behind chandrayaan-2.
For the first time in the history of India’s space mission, two women led the ISRO expedition. While Muthayya Vanitha is the manager of the project, Ritu Karidhal is Chandrayaan-2’s mission manager.
And the amazing achievement of this mission does not end there. As 30% of the women’s team working on it is the first space mission of India to be led by women researchers.
Twitter celebrated this incredible feat by hailing these ace women researchers, who through years of hard work made this task possible.

— Shiv Aroor (@ShivAroor) July 22, 2019
These two women are real inspiration for many other women who want to build a career in STEM, as many Twitter users have pointed out.
While the electronics and communications engineer M Vanitha spent 32 years at ISRO, the aerospace engineer Ritu Karidhal spent 22 years at ISRO.
The GSLV Mark-III rocket, nicknamed Baahubali, is India’s second moon mission after Chandrayaan-1, launched nearly ten years earlier.

Greenville, United States:
Earlier than one in all California’s worst-ever wildfires hit Greenville, the sky turned darkish crimson like a warning. After the flames tore via the tiny city, all that remained was charred partitions, ash and smoke.
The horrific consequence of the Dixie Hearth was captured by AFP in a sequence of earlier than and after photographs from the monster blaze that has consumed a whole bunch of buildings and compelled 1000’s to flee.
“I watched in shock as a put up workplace, fireplace station, financial institution, museum and numerous different companies have been incinerated and lowered to smoldering piles of rubble,” wrote AFP photographer Josh Edelson. “Lifeless animals lay on roadsides.”
He watched “firefighters make futile makes an attempt to cease 350-foot (105-metre) excessive flames towering over them – saving a couple of houses and dropping most.”
Edelson, who has in depth expertise overlaying wildfires, was at one level compelled to drive via a “hall of flames” roaring on both aspect of the street.
“I went into emergency mode and instantly began making psychological notes of the place my fireplace shelter was,” he wrote after making it to security.
As of Sunday, the fireplace had destroyed 489,287 acres (198,007 hectares), authorities stated. It was then overlaying an space bigger than Los Angeles.
Over the weekend, it surpassed the 2018 Mendocino Advanced Hearth to make it the second-worst fireplace in state historical past.
Governor Gavin Newsom visited the charred stays of Greenville on Saturday, expressing his “deep gratitude” to the groups preventing what he termed “climate-induced wildfires.”
Local weather change amplifies droughts, creating ideally suited situations for wildfires to unfold uncontrolled and inflict unprecedented materials and environmental harm.
Authorities estimate the fireplace, which started July 13, is not going to be absolutely extinguished for weeks.
Tami Kugler, sitting beside her tent at an evacuation station after fleeing Greenville, instructed AFP: “It was like driving out of a warfare zone that you simply see in a film.”
“My neighborhood is gone — I imply gone, gone,” she added.

Potassium carbonate (K 2 CO 3) cannot be manufactured by solvay process because potassium bicarbonate (KHCO 3) fairly soluble in water. In sodium carbonate manufacturing, first sodium bicarbonate is precipitated, then Na 2 CO 3 is produced. But due to higher solubility of KHCO 3, K 2 CO 3 is unable to manufacture by solvay process.
Iron Oxides are excellent replacements for synthetic FDC colors in terms of stability, shade and costinuse.

In times like these we catch ourselves saying, “Nobody has it as hard as me. Nobody knows what I am going through. My trials are harder than everyone else’s.” We allow ourselves to feel alone far too often, imprisoned by our own self-doubt. But that doesn’t do anyone any good. We can’t grow from that. We must be wiling, to endure and move forward with the hope that tomorrow will be a better day, reports FamilyShare.
To endure means to last. Successfully enduring a trial does not mean you come out of it a glowing, flawless person. Trials are put in our path to help us learn and grow. Whether they are big or small, there is a purpose.
Running out of gas and losing a loved one are both trials put in your life for a purpose and can bring lessons of trust, hope, love and forgiveness. American politician Frank A. Clark once shared, “If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn’t lead anywhere.” If your faith is being tried, the path that you are going down is likely going to bring much happiness and is worth the struggle.
Challenges come in waves and no one can escape them.
When one of my close friends passed away, I knew that the best thing for me to do was remember the good times with her, embrace those memories and let her live through them. Having a plan for remembering her, as well as not leting her passing allow me to shut down, helped me come out of that trial a changed person.
There is no trick to moving forward. Although, just wanting to move forward is a good start.
Our God, the being who created us, does not make mistakes. He has created perfect people and that includes you. Living up to His expectations can only be achieved if we work for it.
We are not only on this earth to succeed in our chosen pursuits but to fight like warriors for our family, our friends, and our God. We can’t do that if we are wallowing about in our own self-pity.
We are made with the potential to become perfect. Getting up and trying is the first step we must take to endure the many days of darkness and confusion that will be crowding our view of the big picture that has been painted for us.
It will be daunting at times, but when you fight long enough and hard enough, you will eventually be able to look back and see your growth. And you’ll be one step closer to the person you want to be. | [

Maps of solar energy can you give you a sense of what the solar
energy potential is for your location. By far the best source of
these maps is the site run by the National Renewable Energy
Laboratories (NREL) operated by the U.S. Department of Energy at
www.nrel.gov. This Web site provides
maps in many areas of energy use. In the solar section you will
find both interactive and static maps showing solar radiation, solar
energy generation potential and solar radiation by time of year.
Here are some of the solar maps you can find on the NREL site:
United States Solar Atlas—Dynamic Map -This powerful interactive
map shows the monthly average potential energy generation using
photovoltaic panels for any given location in the United States. It also provides access to spreadsheets giving average monthly radiation for 14 different types of solar collectors.
A great thing about this map is that it provides a zoom tool which
allows you to look at the solar potential for your local area.
You can zoom manually or by putting in your zip code or latitude and
longitude. Note: Pop ups must be enabled to view these maps.
PVWATTS Version 2—Dynamic Map
- This map calculates electrical energy produced by a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system. Researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory developed PVWATTS
to permit non-experts to quickly obtain performance estimates for
grid-connected PV systems within the United States. Note: Pop ups must be enabled to view maps.
Annual Direct Solar Radiation - This is a static map that
shows the monthly average daily total solar resource information on
grid cells of approximately 40 km by 40 km in size which are mounted
on a two-axis tracking system that can track the sun throughout the day.
Direct Solar Radiation in January - This is the same type of
map but taking the average just for the month of January.
Compare this with the next map and you can see the significant
difference in radiation by time of year.
Direct Solar Radiation in July - A solar radiation map for a two
axis tracker for the month of July.
Another great site for solar maps is
www.nationalatlas.gov. This is one of their maps which shows solar
energy generation potential
for the United States. As you will see form the map the vast
amount of land area in the U.S. has the potential to generate between
4 and 6 kilowatt hours per day of energy using a flat-plate collector facing south at a fixed tilt equal to the latitude of the site. Capturing the maximum amount of solar radiation throughout the year can be achieved using a tilt angle approximately equal to the site's latitude.
The one part of the United States that has lower potential is the
Northwest coast because it frequently has cloudy weather. | [

The honey bees are dying, and many Minnesota State fairgoers are pledging to do their part to keep the pollinators alive.
Online and at the Fair, the state Department of Agriculture is recruiting "pollinator heroes," who are ordinary Minnesotans ready to commit to boosting the declining honey bee population.
In the tradition of pig ears and newspaper hats, fairgoers are donning bee visors inscribed with their "pollinator promise."
The promises include simple steps, such as reducing pesticide use in home gardens and creating or improving bee habitat by adding blooming flowers to existing gardens.
"We say there are three ways we can protect pollinators -- reduce, improve and create," said Matthew Wohlman, assistant commissioner with the Department of Agriculture.
"You could make sure that you're planting pollinator-friendly landscapes," he said. "You could plant additional flowers. You could reduce the use of pesticides and use them sparingly -- only when needed -- and select pesticides that have a low toxicity for bees."
Farmers and scientists fear that bee losses will impact crop reproduction, from apples and sunflowers to canola, clover and everyday vegetables. "Honey bees pollinate more than $15 billion worth of crops in the United States each year," Wohlman said. "It's a nationwide problem."
The department is distributing information and bee visors at the Agricultural-Horticultural Building, with additional "best practices" listed online at www.
According to the University of Minnesota, the state is home to 18 different kinds of bumble bee species and two of them "are very much in danger," Wohlman said. "In terms of our honey producers, we've seen lots of examples of colony collapse."
Studies estimate that up to one third of the state's honey bee population is dying each year. Additional studies are trying to gauge whether other native pollinators are dying at the same rate.
Scientists studying the nationwide decline of bees since 2007 have pointed to any number of possible factors, from pesticides to parasites.
Climate patterns, loss of habitat and even a decline in the number of beekeepers could play a role, according to the agriculture department's 40-page pollinator report, which was released in January.
More than a third of the world's food production is based on crops that to varying degrees depend upon insects and animals -- as opposed to wind or water -- to transfer their pollen and fertilize plants.
Birds, flies, wasps, beetles, butterflies and moths also pollinate plants, but bees are the most efficient of the bunch.

Hospital Acquired Infection Treatment Market Rides on Increased Prevalence of HAI Worldwide
A hospital-acquired infection (HAI) is also otherwise known as a nosocomial infection. It is a type of infection that is contacted in a healthcare facility or in a hospital. The infection is also known as health care–associated infection in an effort to emphasize on both non-hospital and hospital settings. A rise in the incidences of such an infection is expected to give a boost to the global hospital acquired infection treatment market over the timeframe of projection.
Fungal, bacterial, and viral pathogens cause hospital-acquired infections. The most common types are surgical site infection (SSI), urinary tract infection (UTI), pneumonia (such as ventilator-associated pneumonia), and bloodstream infection (BSI).

Market Growth to be driven by Vulnerability of Newborn Babies toward HAI
In some cases, hospital acquired infection manifests itself weeks after discharge from the hospital though it had been contacted in the hospital. The infection could also infect the hospital staff and caregivers associated with taking care of such patients. Such high prevalence and contagiousness of the infection is likely to spell growth for the global hospital acquired infection treatment market in near future.
Many antimicrobial drugs have proven to be highly effective in treating a wide range of hospital-related infections that are highly prevalent across the globe. Treatments of hospital-acquired infections comprise the following
The most sterilized sections of the hospital are the neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), which keeps infants as they are more vulnerable to such infections during the span of their hospital stay. The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) conducted a study titled “Neonatal Network”. The study projected that around 29% of the infants born at 25 to 28 weeks of gestation period and 46% of the newborns born at less than 25 weeks of gestation are estimated to experience severe hospital acquired infection over the period of hospitalization at NICU. High vulnerability of infants likely to play an important role in the development of the global hospital acquired infection treatment market in near future.

A $27 million faced an obstacle on Wednesday evening when three members of a commission charged with overseeing the proposal shared their concerns.
The commission was created to advise Maplewood City Council on whether it should provide public funding to, a private company that also owns the property.
Representatives from the City of Maplewood, the Maplewood Richmond Heights Board of Education and St. Louis County.
While a redeveloped Deer Creek Center likely would generate more sales tax revenue for Maplewood, three county representatives fear those sales would come at a cost to nearby cities.
That's because the total amount of sales tax revenues generated across St. Louis County has been flat, said Glenn Powers, director of planning for the county.
By approving the vacant shopping center's redevelopment, Maplewood would simply pull sales tax revenues from nearby cities, Powers said.
That would be fine, Powers said, except Summit to pay for the project, which would result in a decline in sales tax revenues for several years. In the Summit proposal, sales tax dollars would be redirected from city, school district and county coffers toward the company's debt.
"We're putting more commercial on the ground than the public can support," Powers said.
(Are you following our updates on Facebook? Check us out at www.facebook.com/MaplewoodBrentwoodPatch)
City Manager Marty Corcoran countered that Maplewood is being proactive in its search to secure businesses and ensure long-term stability for the city. He reflected on the city's condition 20 years ago.
"When Kmart left Maplewood, no one felt sorry for Maplewood. No one came to aid of Maplewood," Corcoran said.
He compared Maplewood to parts of North County, where St. Louis County is spending a lot more dollars per person in services, he said.
He also said that Maplewood isn't stealing businesses from nearby cities for this project. None of the potential retailers have a presence in the inner-ring suburbs, Corcoran said.
Multiple retailers have signed letters of intent for space at a redeveloped Deer Creek Center, but none have signed lease agreements yet, said Scott Reese, principal and president of Summit Development.
Negotiations are ongoing with five retailers, though Summit isn't prepared to announce the names, Reese said.
JoAnn Fabrics, Party City, Ross Dress Barn, Sears Outlet and TJ Maxx are reportedly under consideration as potential tenants, notes a city memo.
During Wednesday's meeting, Reese told the commission to ignore the names of retailers that appear in the news, but he wouldn't elaborate beyond that.

If you're new to this story, Patch has written several stories about the proposed redevelopment:
- (July 13, 2011)
- (Sept. 15, 2011)
- (Oct. 18)
- (Nov. 14, 2011)
- (Dec. 14, 2011)
A public hearing has been scheduled for 7 p.m. Jan. 25 at. The public is invited to share their opinions on the potential development. | [

LONDON — Overweight Brits may soon find that shedding extra pounds would benefit their wallets as well as their waistlines.
The UK public health service, the NHS, wants to encourage companies to reward employees who lose excess weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Dubbed the ‘pounds for pounds’ program by Britain’s biggest-selling newspaper The Sun, the initiative is part of a plan to tackle an NHS funding shortfall that is forecast to hit £30 billion ($48 billion) by 2020.
NHS executives plan to ask the cash-strapped government for £8 billion, but the rest will have to come from savings, including reducing spending on weight-related illness.
“Put bluntly, as the nation’s waistline keeps piling on the pounds, we’re piling on billions of pounds in future taxes just to pay for preventable illnesses,” the NHS said.
Almost two thirds of English adults are overweight or obese, with low income groups worst affected, according to official data.
Only a handful of countries, including the U.S., Mexico and Australia have higher obesity rates.
Employees who manage to curb their unhealthy habits could be offered cash, shopping vouchers or prizes. The NHS declined to comment on the likely size of the incentives, but said some of the funding could come from taxpayers.
Obese people are more at risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, degenerative joint diseases and some cancers, according to the World Health Organization.
The NHS proposal — which comes about six months before the U.K. election — follows similar efforts by companies in the U.S. to encourage their workers to get fit.
It hopes to save money and reduce the number of sick days people take. Sickness-related absence costs UK employers and taxpayers about $35 billion a year, the NHS said.
Individuals miss out on $6.4 billion a year in lost earnings.
There’s evidence that dangling a juicy carrot works. A study by the Mayo Clinic, ranked the best U.S. hospital in 2014, found that 62% of obese people offered $20 a month succeeded in meeting their weight loss targets.
Just 26% of people given no financial incentive managed to hit their goals. | [

Red Bluff >> Tehama County officials met with the Red Bluff City Council Tuesday evening to present an offer to buy a portion of Madison Street for the jail expansion project, but the council was not in favor of the plan and proposed to bring the issue back for further discussion in a closed session meeting.
Many council members said the only way they would approve the project is if the county pays for the realignment of Madison Street so it can remain open.
The offer on the table to buy the street to eventually connect the existing jail with a proposed jail expansion is $228,000.
The project would be located partially within the right-of-way of Madison street, and would require closure of the street between Pine and Oak streets for construction of the new facility and operations between the expansion and the existing jail, according to the letter presented by Tehama County Administrator Bill Goodwin at the meeting.
Tehama County Sheriff Dave Hencratt came to the meeting to remind the council and audience how important the project is, as there is no more space in the existing facility.
The jail does not have the capacity to provide all the health and mental health services inmates need, said Val Lucero, of Tehama County Health Services.
Councilman Rob Schmid, who said he doesn’t want a prison complex in the downtown at all, mentioned the option of moving the 64-bed proposed addition out by the new courthouse on Walnut Street, as inmates will still have to go back and forth between the two locations. This option allows for the future development of an additional building to completely remove the existing jail location from downtown.
Goodwin said the $20 million project would turn into a $200 million project if the entire jail was rebuilt at a different location.
Councilman Gary Jones said he would vote to move forward with the project if the county pays for a realignment.
Councilwoman Daniele Jackson, who voted no in order to bring the issue back for discussion, is against the closure of Madison Street and said she doesn’t think it’s the best option for the residents of Red Bluff or the businesses in the downtown area.
Mayor Clay Parker said he is contacted almost daily by Red Bluff residents saying they are tired of the crime in the city. The jail is a benefit to Red Bluff because of the space it provides to house Tehama County prisoners, essentially having criminals off the streets and crime rates lowered.
“As for having the jail expanded, it’s not a new prison coming here, it not a new facility,” Parker said. “The jail has been here forever. The jail is going to be expanded partially across over where the old library is. And it gets down to me what Gary said, I would not even consider this if (the county) doesn’t reroute Madison Street.”
It may be an inconvenience for some people but Madison Street will still be open, Parker said.
The council voted 3 to 1 to a recommendation that states: “Direct staff to place consideration and discussion of the offer on a future closed session as a Conference with Real Property Negotiators and/or Conference with Legal Counsel regarding anticipated Litigation.”
The topic will be placed on a closed session agenda with what was discussed at the council meeting considered at that time, Parker said. | [

Super Bowl 49 is over so now we look toward the big one next year, Super Bowl 50 in San Francisco. The Seattle Seahawks may have lost Sunday's Super Bowl to the New England Patriots but they are the current favorites to make it back and win Super Bowl 50 at 5-1, according to the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook. The Patriots, who won Super Bowl XLIX, are next in line at 6-1. The usual suspects have the best odds following that including the Green Bay Packers and Denver Broncos. From there, I'm surprised to see the Dallas Cowboys ahead of a team like the Indianapolis Colts, who played in the AFC Championship Game.
Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs are 18th on the 18th team listed here with Super Bowl 50 odds of 30-1. They share the same odds as Houston Texans, San Diego Chargers, New York Giants, Carolina Panthers, Atlanta Falcons and Miami Dolphins. I want the Chiefs to be bumped up into that 25-1 range with teams like the PIttsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers. The odds say the Chiefs are clearly ahead of the Chicago Bears and Buffalo Bills (50-1). | [

Torrance, Calif. – Sept. 26, 2011 – Altus Positioning Systems will debut its new APS-U GNSS receiver at this year’s INTERGEO conference and trade fair.
“The APS-U provides multi-frequency capability together with GNSS heading, L-Band positioning and wireless communications, all within a hardened housing that meets military environmental specifications,” said Neil Vancans, CEO and president, Altus Positioning Systems. “With its wide range of interfaces and 9-30V power input options, the APS-U is an ideal GNNSS solution for machine control, agriculture, aerial photogrammetry, heading sensors and military applications.”
For maximum flexibility, the design is scalable from a single stand-alone GNSS receiver to full options with heading, wireless links and RTK capability. The unit has an additional processor for on-board configuration and custom applications separate from the GNSS engine. It has an extensive suite of interfaces for data output, timing, event marks and a second antenna port for GNSS heading.
The 136-channel receiver is designed to use all GPS, GLONASS and GALILEO frequencies. Integrated wireless options include Bluetooth® for easy configuration, plus a GSM or CDMA cellular modem and UHF radio modem for transmission and reception of RTK corrections. It also works with WAAS, EGNOS and other satellite-based augmentation systems.
The new APS-U units incorporate Septentrio GNSS receiver engines.
The rugged APS-U meets MIL-STD-810G specifications for humidity, dust, shock and vibration, and operates under temperatures from -30 to +65 degrees C.

Skadden — which replaced prior counsel — secured the dismissal with prejudice of all claims against Six Flags and its former CEO and CFO. The plaintiff alleged that the defendants issued false and misleading statements concerning the progress and accounting for certain Six Flags-branded theme parks to be built in China. In response to the plaintiff’s motion to amend the complaint to add a new plaintiff after the Fifth Circuit’s decision, Skadden filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings arguing that the remaining plaintiff no longer had standing to sue because they purchased Six Flags stock after the date that the Fifth Circuit held there to be no potentially actionable statements. Judge Mark Pittman of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas granted the motion and dismissed the case with prejudice, holding that because the plaintiff had not purchased stock until after the purported “truth” had been revealed to the market, “Defendants’ partial disclosures ‘sever the link between the alleged misrepresentations and Plaintiff’s decision to trade at a fair market price,’” therefore depriving it of any standing to bring this putative class action. Because the only remaining plaintiff did not have standing to bring this putative class action, and no class had yet been certified by the court, the court also denied the proposed new plaintiff’s motion to intervene. | [

Nervous about socializing?
My boy is just over nine weeks old now, and while we had originally set up play dates with some friends who also had recently acquired two puppies of a similar size and age and enroll him in puppy playdates at a local store, we had to postpone as Credence was diagnosed with a contagious parasite and should not be around other puppies at our vet's advice. He does fine with our two adult dogs (who have a very low risk of contracting the parasite from him because they are both healthy adult dogs, according to our vet), just displays typical nippy puppy behavior that our girls (a two year old pit bull and a three year old great dane) usually correct on their own when playing. However, he has seen other (much larger) dogs at the vet and immediately began barking and acting as though he wanted to get at them (I wasn't present for this as I was busy the day of the appointment and had to have a friend take him since our vet only had one opening so I'm not sure if it was aggressive/defensive or if he was just getting excited and frustrated because he wanted to play). My vet apparently said he had quite a tough guy attitude (not necessarily aggressive, just too big for his britches, essentially) and that she suspected he might be a handful as he gets older.
Anyways, he's been on medication for the past week and has about one or two more weeks before he gets rechecked (and is hopefully given the all-clear and will be able to be around dogs his own age), but I was wondering what the best way to slowly introduce him to other dogs would be, given that the our two girls are the only ones he'll have been around since he first left his litter. Should we go ahead and try a puppy playdate with our friends and see how he responds (the trouble with this is the friend we have with her puppy is sick very frequently and setting up playdates can be a bit difficult because of this)? Should we try a puppy playtime and see how he does? Or should we take it slow and let him watch other dogs from afar before we even try to let him interact? If he does start barking excessively or displays other poor behaviors what would be the best way to go about correcting that? Our great dane and pit bull are both completely dog friendly, and Credence is completely friendly with strange people and hasn't given me any real reason to be worried, but I'll admit I am very nervous about starting socialization because our last GSD who we had for a short time came to us with severe aggression issues towards all people and dogs so I want to make sure Credence becomes comfortable with other dogs ASAP.

The Hofbräuhaus Chicago, located just east of O’Hare Airport in Rosemont, Illinois, officially opened this Monday, March 18 with a Grand Opening ceremony that was graced with dignitaries from Germany and the United States.
Dr. Michael Moeller, CEO of Hofbräu breweries in Munich (the mother ship), was on hand to assist principals Mike & Joe Matuschka and Ted Wynn along with Rosemont Mayor Bradley Stephens in tapping the official Ceremonial Keg with the authoritative call of “O’Zapft is”.
The Fanfaren Corps of the Chicago Mardi Gras Society, Rheinscher Verein, initiated the ceremonial entrance with the unforgettable drum and bugle march which gave way to the official ceremonial guest, which also included many additional Hofbräu representatives from the United States and Germany. This was followed with an official church blessing of the hall before the humongous wooden keg from Munich was tapped. Of course after the keg was tapped, no more time was wasted and the dining began accompanied by the delicious golden Bavarian brew known throughout the world.
The soft opening in January and the initial operation throughout January and February gave the authentic German beer hall plenty of time to work out all the kinks and provide a well managed and choreographed operation during the official opening. Chef Klaus Lotter and Brewmaster Ben Zollenkopf showed off their best during the festivities featuring a delicious representation of Bavarian fare and Hofbräu beers. Managing partner BCD, which established the beloved Hofbråuhaus in Las Vegas, has brought along their vast experience in making sure that visitors will always experience the true Bavarian Hofbräuhaus experience when they step inside.
The authentic Hofbräuhaus décor with it’s dark wood and chandeliers provided the perfect setting for the legendary Bavarian “Gemütlichkeit” spirit of friendliness, and relaxation, which was enhanced by the incredible Austrian band “Die Reiflinger” and authentic Dirndl clad waitresses which made guests feel that they had been transported straight into the legendary Hofbräuhaus in Munich.
The Chicago location is the fourth and latest of the official Hofbräu Houses in the United States with a gigantic 20,000 square feet of space for the restaurant and brewery. It’s the only official German microbrewery in the Chicago area brewing authentic Hofbräu beer using their 400-year-old techniques straight out of Munich. The main beer hall called the “Schwemme” looks even more spacious than the original in Munich and has room for over 500 people. The adjacent (but open to the main hall) King Ludwig room can be separated into its own celebration area and has room for another 180 fun loving guests. Spring time and warmer weather cannot arrive early enough for the official opening of the Biergarten, which wraps around the front and north side of the building.
Well, the long awaited arrival of the Hofbräuhaus Chicago did not let us down. It’s a great addition to the MB Financial Entertainment Park in Rosemont and will let us celebrate Oktoberfest all year around. Ein Prosit der Gemütlichkeit! | [

Upgrade program of WWR-M research reactor for the Institute of Nuclear Research at the National Science Academy of Ukraine:
Automatic Regulation, Control, Operation and Protection I&C System
The Automatic Regulation, Control, Operation and Protection I&C System (ARCOP) was developed to replace obsolete equipment and the control and protection system (CPS) with up-to-date hardware. Additionally, this modernization project brought the control and protection system into full compliance with the requirements of regulatory documents.
The main goals of this project were to increase the safety and the reliability of nuclear plant systems, improve system serviceability, reduce maintenance costs, reduce the likelihood of human errors, and continue the service life of individual safety-related systems.
ARCOP I&C System performs the following functions:
- monitoring of neutron physical reactor parameters;
- automatic control of neutron flux power;
- implementation of reactor emergency protection algorithms;
- implementation of warning algorithms;
- controls the operation of control and protection system;
- measurement and control of process parameters;
- remote control of actuators (valves, pumps, fans);
- collecting, processing, and archiving of process parameters of the reactor facility while on-line;
- collecting diagnostic information;
- displaying process and diagnostic information.
The ARCOP I&C system was designed and manufactured in 2006.
The fundamental principle of ARCOP I&C System control channel generation is ensuring the stability of the system in case of any deviations from normal operating conditions. The connections between the hardware components are made with digital optical communication channels, which provides high immunity and reliability to the ARCOP I&C System operation as a whole.
Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA), which provide high degrees of reliability and simplicity, are used in the unit circuit design. | [

A water-soluble mucilage extracted from the leaves of Hoheria populnea was chemically and physically studied. Monosaccharide composition and linkages were determined by high performance anion exchange chromatography (HPAEC), gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Lacebark mucilage was composed of rhamnose, galactose, galacturonic acid and glucuronic acid (2:1:2:1). Proton and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and linkage analysis, revealed a predominantly rhamnogalacturonan I-type (RG I-type) structure comprising of a backbone of → 4]-α-D-GalpA-[1 → 2]-α-L-Rhap-[1 →. Data indicated the mucilage likely comprises of a polymer containing several structurally discrete domains or possibly more than one discrete polymer. One domain contains a RG I-type backbone with branching at O-3 of GalpA residues to terminal β-D-GlcpA residues, another similarly contains a RG I-type backbone but is branched at O-4 of the Rhap residues to terminal GalpA residues or oligosaccharides containing α-linked 4-Galp and terminal GalpA residues. A possible third domain contains contiguous 2-Rhap residues, some branched at O-3. Hydrated mucilage exhibited pseudoplastic flow behaviour and viscoelastic properties of an entangled biopolymer network. These rheological behaviours were only slightly affected by pH and may prove advantageous in potential end-product applications including oral pharmaceuticals or as a food ingredient.

George Anastaplo teaches constitutional law and jurisprudence at Loyola University of Chicago and is also a lecturer in liberal arts at the University of Chicago. In 1950, he was denied admission to the Illinois bar because of his principled refusal to answer questions about his political associations. He took his case to the Supreme Court and lost in 1961. Justice Hugo L. Black, in his celebrated dissenting opinion, wrote, “We must not be afraid to be free.”
This has been the theme of Anastaplo’s career, which he has devoted to education and public service. He is the author of Human Being and Citizen: Essays on Virtue, Freedom, and the Common Good, The Artist as Thinker: From Shakespeare to Joyce, The Constitutionalist: Notes on the First Amendment, and The Constitution of 1787: A Commentary. In 1992 he was honored by the publication of a two–volume work, Law and Philosophy: Essays in Honor of George Anastaplo. Anastaplo has been nominated annually since 1980 for the Nobel Peace Prize. Andrew Patner has said of him that he “remains the most challenging American essayist.”
Listed in: Philosophy · Political Science
In an attempt to subject representative texts of a dozen ancient authors to a more or less Socratic inquiry, the noted scholar George Anastaplo suggests in The Thinker as Artist how one might usefully read as well as enjoy such texts, which illustrate the thinking done by the greatest artists and how they “talk” among themselves across the centuries.
The essays collected here, somewhat autobiographical in their effect, range from a discussion of the despair of the Cold War and Vietnam in 1966 to reflections on the euphoria over the ending of the Cold War in Eastern Europe in 1990. The opening essays are general in nature: exploring the foundation and limitation of sound morality; examining what is “American” about American morality; measuring all by the yardsticks provided by classical and modern philosophers.
“…The American Moralist is a cogent and discursive compendium of the principled foundations and perennially recurring challenges to American civil life.”

- High-level Ukraine fighters will leave the war with Russia to compete in big boxing bouts.
- Oleksandr Usyk fights Anthony Joshua in August and Vasiliy Lomachenko returns in October.
- They will likely use their platforms to deliver anti-war comments ahead of their respective events.
High-level fighters are leaving Ukraine's war with Russia to compete in boxing's biggest bouts.
Numerous athletes put their pro careers in combat sports on pause to return to Ukraine earlier this year and assist in the effort to thwart the ongoing Russian invasion.
Oleksandr Usyk, a Ukraine Olympic hero who unified championship belts at cruiserweight and heavyweight, joined the Kyiv Territorial Defense in February and can be seen holding an assault rifle in one photograph.
Vasiliy Lomachenko, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and three-weight world champion boxer, joined a territorial defense battalion also in February.
Both are returning to the ring in the coming months, with Usyk in particular tasked to deliver a "special" pro-Ukraine message from Wladimir Klitschko and Ukraine mayor Vitali Klitschko.
Usyk defends his recently won world titles against Anthony Joshua in a mega match
Usyk produced the performance of a lifetime when he bamboozled Anthony Joshua in the British boxer's backyard in London, and left the city last year with three of boxing's four major heavyweight championships.
He is contractually bound to a lucrative rematch which Saudi Arabia hosts at its Jeddah Super Dome on August 20.
"A very important message could be carried through an event like this," Vitali said in April, according to Boxing Scene.
"We do not know if in three months we will exist. I actually have plans to speak to Oleksandr Usyk to give him advice if he decides to make the fight, to have some special messages that he can put out there."
Usyk appealed to Russian people in one video earlier this year. "If you consider us brotherly people, do not let your military, your children, go to our country. Stop attacking us!
"I also appeal to [Russia] President [Vladimir] Putin. Stop this war! Don't give us ultimatums and declare your conditions, just sit down at the negotiating table. We need to talk and stop everything.
"Our children, our mothers, grandmothers, and ordinary people, are hiding in basements," said Usyk. "We are on our own land, we act as we have to, we are protecting ourselves. Stop it. Stop this war."
Lomachenko likely returns to the ring against an unnamed opponent in October
Lomachenko is also linked with a return to the ring in October, according to an ESPN report this month which cites Top Rank president Todd DuBoef as its source.
It remains unclear whom Lomachenko would return to the ring against, or where exactly the fight would be held.
But Lomachenko, like Usyk, will likely deliver anti-war sentiment during the build-up to his bout.
Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24 and, in the months since, more than 12.8 million people have been displaced as multiple cities in that country have been shelled.
More than 4,000 civilians have been killed there, according to the UN. | [

'Healing After Loss'
Here's a little book I have found helpful over the last year:
"Healing After Loss, Daily Meditations for Working Through Grief" by Martha Whitmore Hickman
I like to read a passage each evening before bed. I also recently gave the book as a gift to someone who lost her mother.
I think this book is good to gift even many months after the loss, because then the recipient knows that others understand that even though life is going on, the pain of the loss goes on too! | [

Canadian taxpayers spent $172,500 for consultations on a controversial war memorial ordered by the Harper government and cancelled by the Trudeau government — consultations that will never be made public.
According to an Access to Information document, Parks Canada spent the money on a Detailed Impact Analysis (DIA) on the “Mother Canada” statue that was planned for the Cape Breton highlands. Parks Canada said it spent the money between fall 2013 and summer 2015.
The ATI request was sent to Heritage Canada, which worked closely with Parks Canada and Veterans Affairs on the design and construction of the memorial.

Focus on Childhood and Adolescent Mental Health
Karen Dineen Wagner, MD, PhD
Published: May 15, 2014
The Youngest Children in Each School Cohort Are Overrepresented in Referrals to Mental Health Services.
Neurocognitive Effects of Neurofeedback in Adolescents With ADHD: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Psychiatric Comorbidity in Hospitalized Adolescents With Borderline Personality
Age in School Cohort, Borderline Personality Disorder, and Neurofeedback
This section of Focus on Childhood and Adolescent Mental Health presents findings on age in school cohort, in relation to mental health referrals; neurofeedback intervention for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); and psychiatric comorbidities in adolescents with borderline personality disorder.
Increasing evidence indicates that the youngest children in a school cohort may have more problems than their older classmates, such as lower academic performance and higher rate of diagnosis of ADHD. Berg and Berg investigated whether the youngest children in a school cohort were more likely to be referred for mental health services than the older children. Included in the data set were 9,157 children who were referred to child and adolescent mental health services in 3 London boroughs. Children who were the youngest in their cohort were overrepresented in referrals to mental health services compared to children who were the oldest in their cohort; this occurred for children in both primary and secondary school. The association of younger relative age and referral to mental health services was even more pronounced for boys than for girls. The authors calculate that if every child had been the oldest in their class, referrals to child and adolescent mental health services would be reduced by 8%. The investigators encourage clinicians to consider relative age in the assessment and treatment of children and adolescents with mental health problems.
Neurofeedback is an intervention aimed at improving neurocognitive functioning in children with ADHD. Children with ADHD have been shown to have increased theta activity and decreased beta activity compared to children without ADHD. Neurofeedback typically consists of theta/beta training with the goal of decreasing theta and increasing beta or sensorimotor rhythm (SMR). Bink and colleagues conducted a multicenter parallel-randomized controlled trial to determine whether the addition of neurofeedback improved neurocognitive functioning compared to treatment as usual (TAU). Ninety male adolescents and young adults ages 12-24 years with a diagnosis of ADHD were randomly assigned to either TAU (n = 31) or TAU plus neurofeedback (n = 59). TAU included medication treatment and/or behavioral interventions. Neurofeedback training consisted of theta/SMR training on the vertex for approximately 37 sessions over 25 weeks. The sample included in the analyses consisted of those subjects who completed the protocol (TAU group n = 26 and neurofeedback plus TAU n = 45). Attrition rates were similar in both groups. Neurocognitive outcome measures included behavioral, neurocognitive, and electrophysiologic assessments. Improvements in neurocognitive measures of attention and/or motor skills were found for the neurofeedback plus TAU and TAU groups. Parent and self-report behavioral measures showed large improvements in both groups. The authors conclude that there is no added benefit of neurofeedback to improve neurocognitive functioning compared to TAU in adolescents and young adults with ADHD. However, these results cannot be generalized to children with ADHD or to females with ADHD, since the study was limited to males ages 12-24 years with ADHD.
Psychiatric comorbidity is common in adults with borderline personality disorder (BPD). In an online offering, Ha and colleagues assessed psychiatric comorbidity in adolescents with BPD to determine if they have a high rate of psychiatric comorbidity. These investigators were also interested in complex comorbidity, defined as any mood or anxiety disorder in combination with a disorder of impulsivity such as oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, or ADHD. Three hundred thirty-five adolescents ages 12-17 years on an inpatient unit were administered a structured interview (the NIMH Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children), the Childhood Interview for DSM-IV Borderline Personality Disorder, and parent report and adolescent self-report assessing psychiatric problems and substance abuse. Thirty-three percent (n = 110) of adolescent inpatients met the criteria for diagnosis of BPD. Compared to psychiatric subjects without BPD, adolescents with BPD were significantly more likely to be female; to have a comorbid diagnosis of mood, anxiety, and externalizing disorders; and to have substance-related problems. Importantly, adolescents with BPD were significantly more likely to have complex comorbidity (mood or anxiety disorder in combination with a disorder of impulsivity) than patients without BPD (56.9% vs 27.1%). These authors conclude that there is extensive | [

Ingredient Name: Dried Octopus
Traditional Chinese Name: 章魚幹 (Zhāng yú gàn)
What is this?
- This is basically the dried preserved carcass of a small octopus (an eight-legged mollusc that lives in the ocean)
- It is prepared by sun drying them with salt
- It is salty and slightly “fishy” in taste with a rubbery and hard texture
- Commonly used in soups, stews and other Chinese dishes (usually sliced very thinly)
How do I prepare it?
- Rinse in warm water before usage and soak in warm water for about an hour to soften it
- For soups, you can cut them into thin slices (for consumption) or simply half it
Where can I buy this?
- Readily available at most Asian supermarkets (packaged)
- Definitely available in Hong Kong wet marts (sold in the dried food vendor stalls)
What is the cost?
- Very affordable
- One average-sized octopus (as picture above) cost me around $30 HKD
- The prices do vary depending on size, breed and availability
- This is a perfect ingredient for soups as it is makes the soup extremely tasty (without adding salt)
- Octopus is rich in calcium, phosphorous, and iron
- It aids in the prevention of anemia, relieves fatigue and restores eyesight and improves liver functions
- Be sure to purchase from a reputable source
- Sometimes the octopus is really salty, so if you want to reduce the saltiness, soak in warm water for a few hours
- Dried octopus is high in cholestorel
- People who are allergic to shellfish may be allergic to octopus
- Store in a dry and cool place (up to 3 months)
- You can freeze them as well for longer storage (up to 6 months)
- This is a similar ingredient to the dried cuttlefish, both are prepared and used in a similar fashion
Dear Chinese Soup Lady, I wonder if I could make some soup using dried octopus but not using lotus root? So far all the recipes I found call for the lotus root whenever one of the the ingredients is dried octopus. Are those two always in pair? I want to buy and send some dried octopus to my parents and they cannot buy lotus root. My mum has iron defficiency so I thought octopus would be great for her. What should I do?
No, I think that’s just a coincidence that I haven’t used dried octopus elsewhere. You can also use it with arrowroot, taro, all sorts of nuts, chicken. It’s similar to the dried conpoy in that it’s quite versatile. I hope this helps and if you do make soups with dried octopus, please feel free to send them my way and I can do a guest post!
Thanks for your support! Lisa | [

American folk music is a rich vein of the nation's cultural resources. In the past it embraced styles as diverse as spirituals and polkas, breakdowns and ballads, Tex-Mex corridos and the songs of the cowboy. Today, folk music continues to absorb new influences and to evolve in exciting and unexpected ways.
"This chronological overview of the development and growing popularity of this uniquely American music is clearly presented. Sidebars, black-and-white photos, notes, further reading, and works consulted help delineate the subject."

The last rule for better leash walking is to use small spaces to work on fundamentals and in new environments.
3) Take the training to a small area outside
“I don’t normally take dogs on long walks whenever I’m introducing them into new environments. Instead, I’ll take up a small space and work on our heel,” notes DeBard. During this time you should work on different walking elements such as following, stopping and pace variation. DeBard encourages owners using this step to allow their dogs lots of brakes in between training, letting them sniff on their breaks. “This way a dog can take in their new environment in a healthy way with a nice balanced approach,” she says.
She doesn’t say that these rules have to be used every time you go for a walk with your dog but it can help teach your dog the kind of manners and behaviors you expect to see from them when going for a walk in a new environment. More importantly, it will help make the walking experience much more pleasurable for you both.
Another way to keep your doggo safe.

Yesterday I wrote that I have 2 CS degrees but didn’t know what a system call was when I graduated. Some people think this is surprising and a failure of CS education.
I don’t have any opinions really about what a CS education should be, but, to explain how this happened, I wrote down a while ago all the classes I took in my joint math/CS undergrad. The math & CS theory classes at my university were extremely good, so I just took all of them.
This is just to say that “a CS degree” can represent a lot of different educations, and personally I think that’s totally fine. I know people who mostly did electrical engineering and human computer interaction! Took a ton of biology classes because they were studying bioinformatics!
But more importantly – it’s ok to not know things. I knew practically nothing about a lot of really important programming concepts when I got out of grad school. Even though I’d started learning to program 8 years before! Now I know those things! I learned them.
I have friends who are amazing programmers who sometimes feel bad because they don’t have a CS degree and sometimes don’t know algorithms/CS theory stuff that other people know. They’ve learned the things they needed to know! They are great.
