Vanessa Carlton sings about love and regret on her wistful new track, “Young Heart.” The song premiered on Esquire.com Monday and sets the tone for what fans can expect from Vanessa’s upcoming album, Liberman, due out this fall. The singer explains in a statement that “Young Heart” is about “regretting the way that you loved someone.” She adds, “It’s admission about a person not being able to hand themselves over to their one true love. Ultimately the song is like a letter asking for a second chance.” The song, which was recorded in Nashville with Vanessa’s musician husband, John McCAuley, marks a more mellow sound for the singer. “I think I’m feeling a little calmer,” she tells Esquire. “And I want things to be more ambient… I want it to go down easy, like honey. It doesn’t have to be loud.” “Young Heart” marks the first new music release for Vanessa since signing with independent label Dine Alone Records. Her last album, Rabbits on the Run, was released in 2011. Copyright 2014 ABC News Radio

I’m hearing about Ramsgate residents experiencing a lot of difficulties in getting in touch with a GP and getting appointments. Whatever you do, resist the urge to blame the doctors and other NHS staff. After the difficulties of dealing with Covid, winter pressures are piling up. This is inevitable. It happens every year. Keep trying to get through and eventually you will. I know that’s cold comfort, but let me explain why. Thanet has been understaffed with GPs for some years. This situation hasn’t just happened! We need politicians who are absolutely committed to fixing this huge problem. We need a Government to absolutely take responsibility to ensure we all have access to great health care. Currently that isn’t happening and we are seeing a rapid unraveling of services. Check out this BMA report on GP service stresses. You can hear more during this interview with Julia George on BBC radio Kent.

Best Practice Guidelines: Healthcare Practice Management & POPIA Compliance Framework Best Practice Guidelines: Healthcare Practice Management POPIA Compliance Framework Copyright © 2021 GoodX Software. All rights reserved. GoodX online Learning Centre 10. Billing: Roles & Purpose 10.3. Medical Codes & Rules Understand your Medical Codes & Rules Medical practitioners do not only have to diagnose and treat their patients, but they also have to spend large amounts of time managing the financial information related to the dispensing of medical supplies, use of the equipment and calculating the rates for different medical procedures. The range of medical procedures and routines that take place in the medical industry is extensive and the result is that the billing process can become quite complicated if you do not have an understanding of how codes and modifiers are used when issuing invoices. Medical codes are essentially used to describe and categorise the types of services rendered or medicines used to treat patients and to calculate their invoices. When claims are submitted to medical aids, the codes and descriptions are used as references to validate fees and payments. Most codes consist of a code, description and an amount that is allowed to be charged for the different specialities.What are modifiers? Modifiers are codes that are used by certain medical practitioners in conjunction with their normal codes to modify or change the rate at which they charge patients during a consultation or procedures. For example, a practitioner may perform more than one procedure during consultation and use a modifier to adjust the second procedure’s amount. GoodX has built-in functionality to help you configure and manage these modifiers. Incorrect use of modifiers is considered fraud or non-compliance and can result in further audits and revenue loss. Types of modifiers: a. Addition modifier A modifier that adds value, by using a percentage value or a unit value, to a procedure code. This modifier should be added to a separate line with its own value. b. Compound modifierModifiers that must be posted on a separate line with its own value but must also be indicated on each procedure code's line where it is applied. c. Information modifierA modifier that serves to add additional information to procedure codes and has no financial value. This must be added to the same line as the procedure. A modifier that reduces the value, by using a percentage value or a unit value, of a procedure code. This modifier should be added to the same line as the procedure code. How are codes and modifiers controlled and managed? The range of medical services that are possible in the modern world has resulted in a wide range of codes and modifiers, each with a possible range of prices and charge types. Codes are analysed and developed by the South African Medical Association (SAMA) and can be found in the SAMA book. The codes are developed in conjunction with a range of professional bodies and given to the Medical Schemes Council for review, publication and distribution. There are two types of codes: - RPL (Reference Price List) - CCSA (Complete CPT for South Africa) and is only used by surgeons. The following medical code categories are available: - Consultation Services - Clinical Procedures - Other kinds of services

Supplementary MaterialsAdditional document 1 Tub37C-GFP expression levels in transgenic flies and comparison of kinetic parameters from different FRAP choices fit towards the spindle and ooplasm data. just is the requirement of -tubulin to create anastral em Drosophila /em oocyte meiosis I spindles controversial, but its presence in oocyte meiosis I spindles is not is and proven uncertain. Results We display, for the first time, using a bright GFP fusion protein and live imaging, that this em Drosophila /em maternally-expressed Tub37C is present at low levels in oocyte meiosis I spindles. Despite this, we find that formation of bipolar meiosis I spindles does not require functional Tub37C, extending previous findings by others. Fluorescence photobleaching assays show rapid recovery of Tub37C in the meiosis I spindle, similar to the cytoplasm, indicating weak binding by Tub37C to spindles, and fits of a new, potentially more accurate model for fluorescence recovery yield kinetic parameters consistent with transient, diffusional binding. Conclusions The FRAP results, with its mutant effects past due in meiosis I jointly, indicate that Tub37C might perform a job after metaphase I, than nucleating microtubules for meiosis We spindle formation rather. Weak binding towards the meiosis I spindle could stabilize pre-existing microtubules or placement -tubulin for function during meiosis II spindle set up, which follows upon oocyte activation and completion of the meiosis We division quickly. History Anastral spindles assemble without centrosomes with a pathway that’s still not completely understood. Specifically, the mechanism where microtubule nucleation takes place is not well described. Although chromatin provides been shown to try out an essential function, the participation from the microtubule nucleator, -tubulin, can be an open up issue still. -Tubulin localizes to centrosomes and various other microtubule arranging centers in mitosis and is vital for nucleating microtubules in microorganisms as different as fungus, em Drosophila /em, em Xenopus /em, human beings, and higher plant life [2-5]. -Tubulin is available CC-401 kinase activity assay on spindle microtubules, where it’s been suggested to nucleate microtubules for spindle maintenance by working within a chromatin-mediated nucleation pathway that augments the prominent pathway of nucleation by centrosomes [6,7]. -Tubulin is present in cells as a large ring complex, TuRC, comprising 12-13 -tubulin molecules associated with as many as ~7-8 other proteins [8,9]. TuRC forms from a small complex, TuSC, consisting of -tubulin bound to two other proteins [10-12]. The mechanism by which TuRC nucleates microtubules is usually uncertain – it could serve as a ring-like template for a 12-or 13-protofilament microtubule [13,14] or, alternatively, / tubulin dimers could assemble onto an end of the large ring complex to form individual protofilaments. Although -tubulin is usually believed to play a central role in mitotic spindle assembly and maintenance in many organisms, its role in anastral spindles that lack centrosomes is less certain. Analysis of mutants that affect the em Drosophila /em oocyte- and early embryo-specific Tub37C has led to the conclusion that -tubulin plays an essential role in nucleating microtubules for anastral oocyte meiosis I (MI) spindle assembly. Conflictingly, another study of the same mutants concluded that -tubulin is not required for oocyte MI spindle formation. Moreover, attempts by several groups CC-401 kinase activity assay to stain oocyte MI spindles using anti-Tub37C antibodies have produced negative results [17,19,20], increasing questions concerning whether -tubulin exists in the spindle even. Failing to CC-401 kinase activity assay localize -tubulin to MI spindles may be due to insufficient permeabilization from the thick cytoplasm of set em Drosophila /em oocytes, hindering antibody staining, compared to the lack of -tubulin in spindles rather. A CC-401 kinase activity assay way for this issue is to investigate oocytes of flies expressing -tubulin tagged with an conveniently detectable fluorescent marker. Right here we present using transgenic flies expressing Tub37C fused to a shiny green fluorescent proteins (GFP) that -tubulin exists at low CC-401 kinase activity assay amounts DGKH in oocyte MI spindles. non-etheless, bipolar MI spindles can be found in em -tubulin /em mutant oocytes, indicating that -tubulin is not needed to create oocyte MI spindles. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) assays show that -tubulin binding connections using the spindle are weakened and transient. -Tubulin is not needed for MI spindle development so.

Below the Belt: Ovarian Cancer Prevention According to the American Cancer Society, more than 22,000 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the United States this year. Ranking fifth in cancer deaths, a woman’s risk of getting ovarian cancer during her lifetime is approximately 1 in 75. There are three different ovarian cancer forms. The most common is epithelial tumors, which appear on the surface of the ovaries. These factors may affect your risk. Having one risk factor or several risk factors doesn’t mean cancer is the diagnosis. However, not every cancer diagnosis comes with the following risk factors: - Age: Ovarian cancer is rare in women younger than age 40; half of all ovarian cancers are found in women older than age 60. - Obesity: Women with a body mass index of at least 30 have a higher risk of developing ovarian cancer. - Reproductive history: Women who have their first pregnancy after age 35 have a higher risk. These risk factors affect most women, but in most cases this only slightly increases the risk of ovarian cancer. The following are some preventive measures you can take to decrease your risk of epithelial tumors. - Breastfeeding: You can decrease your risk of ovarian cancer by breastfeeding for as long as possible. - Healthy lifestyle and diet – Make sure that your diet includes fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Additionally, talk to your doctor about what kinds of activity and how much would be good for you. BayCare offers a variety of cancer services throughout Tampa, Clearwater, St. Petersburg and all of Tampa Bay. Call (855) 314-8346 for a physician referral or find a doctor near you.

Another system is slated develop late in the week on the parameter of this "polar air mass" and shoot thru the Lower Great Lakes. Interesting and also ironic; as winter snow buffs were looking for some sort of semblance to this type of system back in the cold season. This low on the models has been showing many preliminary characteristics of a winter-type low pressure for development and track thru the region late in the week. While temperatures will be cool; no winter type precipitation is expected. I will update about this system as it plays out on guidance, also. Much of the southern half of Southeast Lower Michigan could use the hopeful rain as it has been rather dry; NOT a good time in the growing season for fellow gardeners and farmers. Check out these precipitation stats for Detroit, Flint and Saginaw for the spring and May thru the 27th: MAY TO DATE 1.34 NORM 2.93 -1.59 LAST MAY 5.13 SINCE MAR 1 6.44 NORM 8.11 -1.67 LAST SPRING 14.35 MAY TO DATE 6.87 NORM 2.68 +4.19 LAST MAY 6.90 SINCE MAR 1 10.23 NORM 7.48 +2.75 LAST SPRING 16.29 Ironically; last May and this May are neck in neck for rainfall at Flint but even with the earlier flooding rains this May, it is nowhere close to last spring's total rainfall to date /16.29/! The Saginaw Valley region was drier but heavy rains trekking southeast across the region Sunday put an end to that; and the area is now on par to be closer to normal for rainfall both May and spring. PRECIPITATION: MAY.... 3.62 SPRING.... 7.30 As mentioned; we are still expecting scattered showers and storms overnight into Tuesday morning, then a slight chance Wednesday. So these totals are likely to change. Making weather fun while we all learn, Bill Deedler -SEMI_WeatherHistorian

An ectopic pregnancy is dangerous for a woman because it can lead to excessive internal bleeding. To correct this issue, surgery will be needed and the embryo will be removed. One of the most common symptoms that a woman has when she has an ectopic pregnancy is a great deal of pain in her abdomen. This pain is usually situated on one side of the abdomen. This pain is the one thing that an ectopic pregnancy and round ligament pain have in common. Round ligament pain is something that is common in a pregnancy. It occurs when the muscles are stretching and growing due to the pregnancy. With round ligament pain, most women notice it after stretching, changing positions or sneezing. After the woman adjusts her position the pain will usually go away. However, it is possible for it to return at a later time as well. Many times, women with an ectopic pregnancy will experience pain in this same area. However, the pain is usually more intense and does not go away if the woman changes positions. It can also be something that is accompanied by heavy bleeding or fainting as well. If you are experiencing these type of symptoms, it is best to go to the hospital immediately.Ectopic Pregnancy vs Round Ligament Pain,

When talking about fluid mechanics, the conversation is incomplete without a hydraulic bench. What seems to be a rather useful apparatus in hydraulics is commonly used in several experiments. Whether the experiments are conducted to find the value of the coefficient of velocity, Cv, or coefficient discharge, Cd, it can be done with the help of a hydraulic bench apparatus. But first, you will need to understand hydraulic bench parts and functions, and their common uses. Table of Contents What is a Hydraulic Bench The hydraulic bench is a volumetric flow measurement apparatus that consists of a water receptacle present at the bottom, through which water is pumped up to an open channel through a control valve by a centrifugal pump. This water is finally discharged into the volumetric tank and the change in level of water in the volumetric tank, as given by the calibrated scale, gives the flow rate. A hydraulic bench may also be used to supply water to other apparatuses for their work. How Does a Hydraulic Bench Function? The hydraulic bench diagram shows the general working or functioning of the water supply. The water is stored in a sump tank. When the motor is turned on, this water is pumped up to the open channel through a suction pipe which is kept transparent to identify the onset of the cavitation process, in case it commences. This open channel is the water source for the volumetric hydraulic bench tank and therefore, the water flows from the channel to the tank present at a relatively lower elevation. Finally, this water is made to outflow the tank back into the reservoir or sump tank. There are a few technical details that are provided by the manufacturer mentioning parts of the hydraulic bench apparatus such as: - Pump Type - Maximum Head - Maximum Flow - Motor Rating (kW) - Sump Tank Capacity (Liters) - High Flow Volumetric Tank (Liters) - Low Flow Volumetric Tank (Liters) - Height of working surface above floor level It is important to keep these technical details in mind before jumpstarting the project. 12 Parts of Hydraulic Bench Apparatus The following labeled figures show different parts of hydraulic bench parts and their functions in detail. 1. On/Off Switch for Motor In order to start the motor of the centrifugal pump, the motor switch is turned on. This results in the initiation of the pumping process. 2. Discharge Control Valve This valve controls the flow rate into the volumetric tank. A clockwise rotation tends to decrease the discharge and a counterclockwise rotation increases the flow rate. 3. Sight Tube and Scale A sight tube present close to the discharge control valve gives an instantaneous value of the flow rate into to volumetric tank and the value can be read from the scale present beside the tube. 4. Volumetric Tank This tank is present downstream of the open channel and is an important part of the volumetric hydraulic bench. It receives water from the open channel. However, the flow rate into this tank is governed by the discharge control valve. The change in the level of water in the tank is determined by noting the difference in the level of water given by the sight tube. 5. Open Channel This channel receives pumped water from the sump tank. The flow rate into this channel is governed by the flow control valve present beneath it. 6. Centrifugal Pump Another part of the hydraulic bench is the centrifugal pump that converts the mechanical energy of the motor into hydraulic energy by the action of centrifugal force. As a result, the water is pumped up from the sump tank and is permitted into the open channel by the flow valve. 7. Sump Tank A sump tank is actually a water reservoir present at the bottom of the hydraulic bench apparatus. The water is pumped from the sump tank into the open channel. When the volumetric tank reaches a certain level, it empties into the sumo tank, and the process is repeated. 8. Control Valve This valve controls the flow from the sump tank into the open channel. It can help in increasing or decreasing the water inflow in the hydraulic bench 9. Stilling Baffle This part of the hydraulic bench acts as a stopper for water to retain in the open channel. When water travels up into the open channel, the inlet stilling basin helps dispersing the water stream, thereby, keeping water in the channel. 10. Tank Stilling Baffle When water enters the volumetric tank from the open channel, a tank stilling basin ensures smooth gliding of water. If this is not provided, the water that strikes the tank bottom may produce some local turbulence. This may result in continuous fluctuation of water level that can be seen from the sight tube. Therefore, the discharge measurement may give misleading results. 11. Dump Valve Handle A dump valve handle is used to drain water from the vol

How at risk are Capitola and Soquel residents from pollution compared to other cities in the state? According to the state officials, the answer is not bad at all for local residents. Based on promising new state figures released this week, Capitola is in the top 75 percentile of California zip codes, while Soquel is in the top 85 percentile in terms of being at potential for health risks stemming from pollution of all sorts. See a map of the data for every town in the state here The figures come from a new state report issued by the California Environmental Protection Agency and the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) that compiles health risks based on 11 types of pollution and factors in seven categories of population and demographic factors, including poverty and education levels. The purpose of the report is to identify communities that are eligible for grants from the state's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, according to Sam Delson, an OEHHA spokesman. The law governing that fund mandates certain percentages be spent on disadvantaged communities, making it necessary to include economic factors in the state report. Only cities that rank in the bottom 10 percent will qualify. According to the data, Capitola and Soquel don't need the grants. The state has a map of those communities that are eligible on the report website. The map above shows scores from each of those categories as well as overall rankings for every zip code in California with a Patch publication. Simply click on any town to see the full report card for each zip code. You can see a similar map showing every zip code in the state here, and see more details of the report on the state's website. The numbers also show that Capitola fares poorly on traffic metrics but much better when it comes to groundwater threats and hazardous waste.

The Metal X uses an innovative technology to 3D print metal. Metal powder appears in the printing material in a very high concentration and is spooled, therefore it can be delivered via a heated nozzle. This means printing is done by the already proven FDM process. Reassuringly, it’s completely without the toxic metal dust usually associated with metal printing. The sintering process that follows causes atomic diffusion (ADAM). This is due to the heat, the atoms shift slightly and stick together, resulting in an overnight metal part. Upon completion the components achieve excellent mechanical properties and enormous rigidity in all directions. ADAM allows the creation of unique geometry, such as closed honeycomb structures. As a result components that resemble a complex bone structure can also be realised with the Metal X. In other words a closed cell inside, encased in a sturdy outer shell. Unsurprisingly, this geometry cannot be manufactured with a traditional subtractive methods or even with direct metal laser sintering process (DMLS). This means that the Metal X will allow you and other engineers to find new ways to change the world.

A transmission and/or a receiving optics is provided in nearly every optical sensor. Frequently this optics is focused at a certain distance or distance zone with the aid of a focal adjustment, in that electromechanically or optomechanically the position of the lenses and in this way the focal distance of the transmission or receiving optics is adjusted. Such solutions require a large construction space and moreover pose high requirements with respect to the mechanical assembly having regard to the precise capability of being set, such that a predefined focal position can actually be assumed. An alternative is the use of optics in which not the focal distance itself, but rather the shape and in this way the focal length of the lens itself is varied by means of a voltage control. In particular gel or liquid lenses are used for this purpose. Having regard to a gel lens, a silicon-like liquid is mechanically deformed by means of piezo electric or inductive actuator. Liquid lenses, for example, utilize the so-called electro wetting effect, in that two non-mixable liquids are arranged above one another in a chamber. On application of a control voltage the two liquids change their surface tensions in a different manner such that the inner boundary surfaces of the liquids vary their curvature in dependence on the voltage. An opto-electronic sensor with focal adjustment on the bases of liquid lenses is known from the DE 10 2005 015 500 A1 or the DE 20 2006 017 268 U1. Camera systems having variable focal positions can be divided into two categories. In an iterative manner autofocus systems determine the suitable focal position (“closed-loop” method) on the basis of a plurality of recordings at different focal positions. Through the required iteration this process is comparatively slow. A second possibility of focusing consists therein in determining a required focal position from a distance measurement, wherein the focus unit utilizes the default value (“open loop method”). It is then essential to ensure that the focus unit has actually achieved the desired focal position. This is critical in particular having regard to liquid or gel lenses with thermal volume expansion and temperature-dependent refractive indices. Indeed a temperature-dependent correction matrix is taught for their compensation. In this way the control of the focus unit can factor in the current temperature and counteract a temperature drift. However, also further effects such as aging can be added to the reversible temperature development that frequently cannot be foreseen in contrast to a temperature development. Therefrom a non-correctable drift and in this way a remaining blur remains. In a further development of liquid lenses for focal adjustment the EP 2 071 367 A1 also suggests the tilting of the liquid lens through the application of different voltages in the circumferential direction. In order to prevent the recording of blurred images the proper motion of the camera is then determined and one or more lenses are tilted in the camera in order to counteract this proper motion. The possibility of the tilting however does not change anything with regard to the mentioned problems of temperature development and drift. In the DE 10 2005 015 500 A1 a further optoelectronic sensor having a liquid lens is disclosed that can be asymmetrically changed in its beam forming properties by means of an asymmetric frame or different electric potentials at separate electrodes of the lens frame. However, the document then does not explain what purpose this can be used for. For this reason it is the object of the invention to improve the focusing with an adaptive lens in an apparatus of this kind. This object is satisfied by optoelectronic apparatus and by a method for the recording of focused images. The apparatus has an image sensor and an adaptive lens that can be brought into different orientations by tilting. The invention is then based on the basic idea of tilting the adaptive lens and to monitor at what position a certain image feature arrives due to the tilt by means of the image sensor. This position is varied by the drifts, this means in

FDA Posts Quarterly Report of Potential Drug Safety Issues The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has posted on its Web site its first quarterly report that lists certain drugs that are being evaluated for potential safety issues. The drugs have been identified based on a review of reports in FDA's Adverse Event Reporting System (AERS). The information is being provided under provisions of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act, signed into law Sept. 27, 2007. The law requires that FDA inform the public each quarter of new safety information or potential signals of serious risk, based on the agency's review of adverse event reports contained in AERS. The appearance of a drug on this list does not mean that FDA has concluded that the drug has the listed risk, or that FDA has identified a causal relationship between the drug and the listed risk. It is on the list only because FDA has identified a potential safety issue. "My message to patients is this: Don't stop taking your medicine. If your doctor has prescribed a drug that appears on this list, you should continue taking it unless your doctor advises you differently," said Janet Woodcock, M.D., director of FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. Drugs that appear on the agency's new AERS-based table, titled "Potential Signals of Serious Risks/New Safety Information," are identified by FDA reviewers based on reports from the FDA's AERS database, which contains millions of reports of adverse events submitted to FDA by drug manufacturers, health care professionals, and patients. For a drug to appear on this report, an FDA reviewer will have determined there is a reason to examine a drug more closely based on either the seriousness or number of AERS reports associated with the drug. The drugs for which issues have been identified are under evaluation for the listed potential risk. This first quarterly report lists 20 drugs along with the potential safety issue associated with each drug. For more information, visit www.fda.gov/cder/aers/potential_signals/default.htm.

The modernization and virtualization of enterprise networks include upgrades to the way next-generation networks are secured and managed. This has everything to do with the convergence of networks, clouds, applications and services in the context of increasing transmission of data and the need to secure data at rest and data in motion, including in a world where data is shared between systems with the proliferation of APIs and exchanges. Everstream, a fast-growing, super-regional network service provider offering fiber-based Ethernet, Internet and data center solutions to businesses in the U.S. Midwest, and Krontech, an access control systems software company serving large communications services providers globally, announced recently Everstream is replacing their TACACS (Terminal Access Controller Access Control System) with Krontech’s Single Connect Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution for backbone, corporate, and customer devices. As part of the Everstream and Krontech agreement, the companies will sell and integrate Krontech’s state-of-the-art Privileged Access Management solution, with software that provides effective reporting, transparency, and control, while simplifying daily operations, to Everstream’s customers. “It goes without saying that network security is critical and something that we take very seriously,” said Brett Lindsey, President and Chief Executive Officer, Everstream. “With Krontech’s solution, the Everstream network now has additional layers of protection as well as access to timely reporting tools and data.” Krontech’s Single Connect was created on a software platform that is purpose built for cloud-based, applications-driven networks. Designed to be an integral element of an operational platform, Single Connect protects against both internal and external threats. “We’re proud to have been selected by Everstream, whose commitment to delivering secure private networking, Internet access and data center solutions we take very seriously,” said Osman Erkan, CEO of Krontech. “Together with Everstream’s network operations team, we will deploy Single Connect, a solution that helps simplify and reinforce privileged access account management in an efficient, reliable and cost-effective way.” Utilizing advanced operations session management technology, Single Connect logs every session, as well as every keystroke, and verifies policy. Its preventive-based monitoring capability provides an additional level of access security, while enabling rigorous compliance. While Everstream is not disclosing which TACACS vendor is being displaced, most likely it is Cisco. Cisco announced around a year ago that they are no longer supporting their TACACS solution. A statement on their website says: “Cisco announces the end-of-sale and end-of-life dates for the Cisco Secure Access Control System. The last day to order the affected product(s) is August 30, 2017. Customers with active service contracts will continue to receive support from the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) as shown in Table 1 of the EoL bulletin. Table 1 describes the end-of-life milestones, definitions, and dates for the affected product(s). Table 2 lists the product part numbers affected by this announcement. For customers with active and paid service and support contracts, support will be available under the terms and conditions of customers’ service contract.”

Texas State University at NCTM The National Conference of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) recently hosted its Annual Meeting and Research Conference in San Antonio, Texas (http://www.nctm.org). NCTM’s Annual Meeting and Research Conference are premier mathematics education conferences that support mathematics educators to share new and innovating research, network with peers, exchange ideas, and to transform mathematics classrooms in ways that drive student success. Faculty member and newly-elected board member for the Mathematics Education Trust of NCTM, Dr. Alejandra Sorto, explained the importance of NCTM: “Our organization provides members, institutions, and researchers with the vision of the teaching and learning of mathematics for our nation by providing opportunities to share our scholarship and creating educational resources that shape state policies that ultimately impact our students.” Texas State had a strong presence this year at NCTM. Our faculty and students made six presentations involving nine current (or former) graduate students and five faculty members. Collectively, the presentations considered a variety of topics related to teaching and addressed both practicing and preservice teachers. The research shared at NCTM was wide-ranging and considered several key instructional practices including engaging students in justifying and generalizing, supporting students’ productive mathematical struggle, responding to students’ mathematical ideas, and leveraging linguistic resources in bilingual classrooms. In addition to making research presentations, faculty and students also facilitated workshops for practicing teachers. Dr. Alejandra Sorto organized and facilitated two new events for NCTM as part of the organization’s commitment to equity and access. Dr. Sorto, whose research focuses on English language learners, organized a multilingual session for secondary mathematics teachers and helped to recruit and support local parents to participate in a parent panel.

Title: Kitten Clinging to Car Finds Love and Happiness in a New Home Chapter 1: A Desperate Plea for Help A small kitten named Lunah was found clinging to a parked car with all her might by a concerned neighbor. Alone and frightened, she sought refuge under the vehicle, meowing incessantly. Despite the neighbor's attempts to assist her, the kitten would retreat into the shadows, her tail tucked between her legs. Chapter 2: The Arrival of a Savior Unable to rescue the kitten herself, the neighbor reached out to a friend, Joanie, for help. Joanie swiftly responded, equipped with a humane trap and enticing treats to lure the hungry kitten out from under the car. Lunah, unable to resist the temptation of food, gathered the courage to leave her hiding spot and entered the crate. Chapter 3: A New Beginning With the door securely shut, a sense of relief washed over both Joanie and the neighbor. However, their search for the kitten's mother or other kittens remained fruitless. As Lunah devoured the food in front of her, her fear and distress slowly faded away. Chapter 4: A Warm Welcome Lunah was transported to a cat rescue, Chatons Orphelins Montreal, where her injured gums were promptly examined by a veterinarian. The six-week-old kitten was provided with a foster home, where she could heal and receive the love and care she needed. After each meal, Lunah sought solace in the company of her foster family, expressing her gratitude through a symphony of purrs. Chapter 5: Healing and Growth Within just one week, Lunah's gums had healed, and her true personality began to shine. She was eager to make friends with everyone, including the other cats in the household. Full of energy, Lunah loved being surrounded by her humans or feline companions and would play for hours, often falling asleep mid-play. Chapter 6: A Social Butterfly Lunah quickly became a people-cat, following her foster family wherever they went. She was curious, social, and unafraid to voice her needs. Showered with attention and affection, Lunah showed her appreciation by purring and even attempting to groom her humans. Chapter 7: Living Her Best Life Lunah thoroughly enjoyed her new indoor life, finding joy in even the simplest things. She adored cuddling on her humans' chests or necks, often falling asleep while watching TV. With her little meows, she would make her desires known, seeking attention whenever she pleased. Chapter 8: A Happy Ending Lunah's life had taken a complete turn for the better. She no longer had to cling to a car for safety and warmth but could now bask in the love and care of her foster family. As an indoor kitty, she relished in moments of cuddles, napping in comfort wherever she pleased. Lunah's transformation from a frightened kitten to a content and adored family member was a testament to the power of compassion and love. Lunah's journey from clinging to a car for dear life to finding a loving home showcases the incredible impact that kindness and intervention can have on the life of a vulnerable animal. Thanks to the kind neighbor and the efforts of Joanie and Chatons Orphelins Montreal, Lunah now thrives in a safe and nurturing environment. Her story serves as a reminder that every small act of compassion can make a significant difference in the lives of animals in need.

Mamelodi Sundowns have an opportunity to consolidate their place at the top of the log when they meet Maritzburg United at Loftus Versfeld on Wednesday. A win for the Pretoria side will be their eighth of the season in 12 games and see them stretch their lead over second-placed Orlando Pirates to five points. This will further stamp their status as title favourites as they have by far looked the most convincing side in the league. Following a stuttering start to the campaign, they have finally found consistency, winning four of their last five outings with a goalless draw away to Chippa United the only blemish in an otherwise flawless run. This owes as much to their solid defence as it does to attack as they have only conceded one goal in the process – one which came from the boot of Orlando Pirates’ defender Marc Van Heerden, courtesy of a pinpoint long-range free kick. Their opponents can also be considered a team in form as they have won their two most recent games, netting seven times in the process. They overcame a dark period which saw them not scoring a single goal in their four matches prior in emphatic style when they put on an impressive second half display last Tuesday, bating Cape Town City 4-2 after going into the break trailing 1-0. They currently sit in eighth place but a win in Pretoria will shoot them up into the top three. Head to head Both of last season’s encounters between these two sides could not produce a winner as the ended in draws. Prior to that, Sundowns boasted an impressive run of four unanswered victories against their opponents, with three coming away from home. You have to go back more than five years back to September 2012 for the last time Maritzburg beat Sundowns in a league clash.

SIOUX FALLS -- For the sixth time this season, South Dakota State's Mike Daum was selected as the Summit League's Athlete of the Week, announced Monday by the league office. In SDSU's lone contest for the week, Daum put together a monster 34-point, 21-rebound showing to help the Jackrabbits defeat the North Dakota Fighting Hawks last Thursday. Daum set a new career-high in rebounds and notched his 12th double-double of the season. The Kimball, Nebraska native recorded the fourth 30-20 game in NCAA Division I this season and had SDSU's first-ever 20-plus rebounding total in its Division I history. Daum, who has picked up the league's weekly honor 17 times as a Jackrabbit, currently sits 20th on the NCAA's all-time scoring chart with 2,740 career points. South Dakota State is back in action Thursday night when longtime rival North Dakota State comes to town. The Jackrabbits and Bison tip at 7 p.m. from Frost Arena.

Evaluation of Ultra-Wideband Sensing Technology for Position Location in Indoor Construction Environments MetadataShow full item record Effective construction management involves real-time decisions regarding the progress of specific activities, the location of materials and equipment, and the construction site safety. The decision making process can be improved using real-time positioning technologies such as Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) systems, Global Positioning System (GPS), and Ultra Wide Band (UWB) sensors. While the GPS is not applicable to indoor positioning and RFID tags cannot provide a fully automated system for position location, the characteristics of UWB systems make this technology a strong candidate for a fully automated positioning system in an indoor construction environment. This thesis presents a comprehensive study of the performance of UWB systems in a controlled laboratory environment and in an institutional construction site in Waterloo, Canada as well as for a particular safety application. A primary objective of the research was to establish the accuracy of real-time position location under various conditions, including the effect of different construction materials (e.g., wood and metal), and to analyze changes in the accuracy of position location as construction progresses and the indoor environment physically evolves. Different challenges faced in implementing such a system in an active construction environment are addressed. Based on a statistical analysis of laboratory data, and considering the construction site experience, the reliability of the UWB positioning system for the aforementioned environments is discussed. Furthermore, an automated safety system is proposed using the real-time UWB positioning technology. Based on the error modeling of the UWB position location, an optimum alarming algorithm is designed for the proposed safety system and the reliability of such system is evaluated through a statistical analysis.

REVIEW BY CAOLAINN DALY Wonder Woman is a return to form for the DC cinematic universe. It is a stylish, compelling origin story for one of the most recognisable comic book superheroes and is DC’s best film in years. The premise concerns itself with a blend of Greek mythology and some extra lore. In a prologue that offers quite a substantial bit of telling rather than showing, we learn that Ares, the god of war, has been plaguing the minds of humans for centuries to cause destruction and conflict. After the Amazons’ paradise is breached, Diana, their princess, sets out to identify his latest incarnation and kill him. The excessive exposition at the beginning can be forgiven as it is just preamble for the main act which goes on to deliver quality in spades. The vibrant and colourful Themyscira soon gives way to a drab 1910s England. Unlike DC’s recent offerings like Batman vs Superman and Man of Steel, drab does not make it dull. The world of greys and blues offered is interesting and has character beyond just being grey-tinted. This is partly down to the performances of the characters. Diana’s initial foray into England is a fish-out-of-water scenario where she only knows the sensibilities of her own tribe and this can make for some genuinely funny passages. Director Patty Jenkins has done a terrific job at keeping the tone of the film right. It is set during the first world war and Diana is exposed to things far beyond her expectation or imagination, horrors and atrocities which she has never before witnessed. It can be compared to Captain America: The First Avenger in a positive wat in that it is a superhero film set during a war that has happened in real-life, but also does not lose its identity as a superhero film. Its wartime setting does not upstage the superhero but supports her and allows her to shine. The real and supernatural are merged without skipping a beat and without losing its intrinsic feel as a comic book film, and imporantly, without forsaking its charm. Gal Gadot shines as the titular character and offers a performance that deftly balances pathos with steely ferocity and humour. Chris Pine offers an affable and solid if somewhat unremarkable performance as an allied spy. The supporting cast, including David Thewlis as a pacifistic member of the UK’s war council, Danny Huston as the German bad guy General Ludendorf, and Elena Anaya as the sadistic Doctor Poison, all perform admirably. The script is tight, as is the production. Zack Snyder is involved, as per, but is given a role where he can shine, and that is on the production team. The visuals are bountiful without being flashy or obnoxious, they compliment the on-screen direction delightfully. DC’s Wonder Woman is an impressive outing and hopefully marks a change in fortunes for their upcoming releases. It offers an interesting story, a splendid cast, wieldy direction, sturdy production values, and is thoroughly entertaining.

Its extreme depth and geographic isolation from other mid-ocean ridges offer insights into the effects of pressure on hydrothermal venting, and the biogeography of vent fauna. Here we report the discovery of two hydrothermal vent fields on the Mid-Cayman spreading centre. The Von Damm Vent Field is located on the upper slopes of an oceanic core complex at a depth of 2,300 m. High-temperature venting in this off-axis setting suggests that the global incidence of vent fields may be underestimated. At a depth of 4,960 m on the Mid-Cayman spreading centre axis, the Beebe Vent Field emits copper-enriched fluids and a buoyant plume that rises 1,100 m, consistent with >400 °C venting from the world's deepest known hydrothermal system. At both sites, a new morphospecies of alvinocaridid shrimp dominates faunal assemblages, which exhibit similarities to those of Mid-Atlantic vents.

I can relate to this so much. It sounds like my own thoughts tho not so elegant. I’d like to reblog.’ I can’t remember who I am. I look at photographs and wonder, where did she go, that carefree girl, that careful mother, so careless with herself? I often feel disjointed, as if part of me has broken off, buffeted by the wind of time, and wonder, is it mine? When I read a poem that was written in my name, I scrutinise each line for me, proof that I write poetry and find that careful, carefree girl I so carelessly mislaid. Kim M.

I think this is the quickest I've ever done a cover... Listen to the amazing song here - [link] Essentially I got a message from Tsyolin (Whos name I still can't spell) while Iw as playing TF2. Me being the metalhead I am, my music overpowered Skype and I missed everything he sent me, which was essentially; [16:46:13] Tsyolin (Taylor): Friend, Tomb sent me your way for cover art. [16:46:24] Tsyolin (Taylor): For me. [16:52:20] Tsyolin (Taylor): Look I gotta go, I'll be back later this afternoon. [16:53:00] Tsyolin (Taylor): If your up for something, I've finished a song, a remix/mashup of several of Glaze's songs. [16:53:07 | Edited 16:53:24] Tsyolin (Taylor): The song is called WoodenOverture. [16:53:40] Tsyolin (Taylor): Bad pun isn't it. [16:53:55] Tsyolin (Taylor): I'm sorry to leave you hanging as far as ideas bro, but I gotta get going. So, In the time he was gone, I had to create some cover art knowing only the song name and roughly what it was about. I knew AJtheEngineer did Orchestral stuff, so I tried to get it to reflect that, but in the process I ended up mimicking style a bit in her wallpapers, haha. In the end I'm really happy with how this turned out, looks really good IMO c: Tell me what you think! I do not own Tsyolin's music, or his brand name. I do not own Glaze's OC I do not own My Little Pony or any associated products, they belong to Hasbro, Lauren Faust and any third parties.

Zephyr Men's Hats No matter which sport, school, or brand you'd like to support, hats have always been a great way to express yourself. Zephyr offers hats like beanies, bucket hats, classic curved bills, trucker hats, flat bills, and visors. Each snapback hat has its own color scheme that highlights the colors of a sports team. Zephyr men's hats specifically offer hats with the logo of college sports teams.What Zephyr hat material options are available? Many material options are available for their hats. The styles include: - Acrylic: Acrylic material is usually used to make beanies. The rugged acrylic offers material that is dense. - Wool blend: Zephyr’s wool blend hats come in styles like fitted versions, curved bills, or snapbacks. - Polyester: A polyester snapback hat is a traditional option. Their trucker hats are also made from polyester. - Cotton: Zephyr’s cotton hats are light. Their baseball caps are often made of 100% cotton. All Zephyr snapback hats have some kind of logo on the material, such as a state university logo. The logo on a typical product is always large and features bold colors that stand out. On some hats, other graphics may be placed along the edge of the material. In order to highlight the colors of a college team, for example, many hats will have two color schemes. If a school has two bright colors, the visor will have one color scheme, and the main portion of the hat will feature more neutral colors, like black and white. College hats include Ivy league hats like Harvard or state schools like Berkeley. You can also select a Zephyr hat that is blank, with no design or logo on it.Are the Zephyr hats comfortable? Because these hats have different design schemes, comfort levels will vary. During a hot day, the hats that have a mesh along the side of the fabric will allow in air. Traditional cotton caps offer a lightweight fabric. The visor on the snapback hats can be adjusted to fit your head. In order to ensure total comfort before picking any kind of hat, however, try to select a cap that has proper measurements.How do you maintain Zephyr hats? Although each material option has different washing requirements, you should be able to remove a stain. In order to wash a cap successfully without ruining the structural elements, you must always wash the cap in a special frame that's designed for a washer. If you're going to hand-wash one of these caps, you must use a soft cloth and a mild soap.

BERNARDS TOWNSHIP - The Bernards Township planning board has rejected a proposal to build a mosque in the town. The Islamic Society of Basking Ridge submitted an application to build a new mosque on Church Street. Church Street is part of a historic section of Bernards and the mosque would have spanned more than 4,200 square feet. Residents in town were quick to oppose the plan because they said the traffic would be too heavy in the area and it would change the landscape of Church Street. “This is a cute little area that we live in and a mosque would have changed everything,” says resident Maria Mahon. Residents also say that the traffic is already an issue there because of a nearby school, and that there was no way the streets would have handled more than 200 cars a day for mosque visitors. "It is not even a ‘not in our backyard thing.’ This is a very welcoming area,” says Joe Assante, the facility manager for the Liberty Corner Presbyterian Church. “It is hands down traffic. If they could make this a six-lane highway, it wouldn't be a problem but that will never happen in our quaint little town." Hundreds of residents attended a planning board meeting Tuesday evening to voice their concerns. In the end, planning board members voted to deny the application. The Islamic Society of Basking Ridge could appeal the decision in court. Officials in Bernards would not comment about the vote due to potential pending litigation.

MOSAiC Cruise Blog 2019-2020 The Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition aboard the German research icebreaker Polarstern will launch in autumn 2019. More than a century ago, the Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen departed aboard his sailing ship Fram for the first-ever drift expedition. Now, for the first time, MOSAiC will take a modern research icebreaker, brimming with cutting-edge scientific instrumentation, near the North Pole in winter. It could be the largest-scale Arctic research expedition of all time: in September 2019 the German research icebreaker Polarstern will depart from Tromsø, Norway and, once it has reached its destination, will spend the next year drifting through the Arctic Ocean, trapped in the ice. Six hundred people from 17 countries, supplied by other icebreakers and aircraft, will participate in the expedition. Rob Rember's team will bring you the story Starting in September, IARC Research Assistant Professor Rob Rember will send dispatches from aboard ship—we'll display his posts here. You can also follow the MOSAiC project on Facebook.

Vows of Reprisals as Arabs Mourn Slain Hamas Leader By GREG MYRE Published: April 19, 2004 GAZA, April 18— Palestinians clogged the streets of Gaza City on Sunday chanting ''Revenge! Revenge!'' at the funeral of Abdel Aziz Rantisi, the Hamas leader slain by an Israeli rocket attack. Masked gunmen filled the humid air with bursts of gunfire. Hamas, the most militant Palestinian faction, said Israel should expect ''100 unique retaliations.'' The funeral cortege stretched for blocks, and mourners pushed and shoved as they tried to the touch the lacerated and burned face of Dr. Rantisi, whose body was carried on a stretcher, wrapped in a green Hamas flag. Despite the mourners' ominous message, Israel has significantly weakened Hamas during the past two years, and it is not clear whether Hamas can deliver on its pledge. Previous Israeli attacks on Hamas leaders have been followed by suicide bombings. Israel came under criticism from governments around the world on Sunday for the killing of Dr. Rantisi on Saturday night, and protests broke out here, on the West Bank and in Arab nations. But Prime Minister Ariel Sharon vowed at a cabinet meeting to continue to ''to strike the terror organizations and their leaders.'' Many Palestinians, already angry at the Bush administration over new American diplomatic assurances given to Mr. Sharon last week, blamed the United States in part for Dr. Rantisi's death. Ahmed Qurei, the Palestinian prime minister, said, ''The Palestinian government considers this Israeli terrorist campaign to be a direct result of American encouragement and the total American bias in favor of the Israeli government.'' In Washington, Condoleezza Rice, the national security adviser, denied that President Bush had given Mr. Sharon permission in advance to kill Dr. Rantisi. She told ABC television that Israel had the right to defend itself, but she added, in the diplomatic formula usually used by the administration after such killings, that Israel should ''take into consideration the consequences of anything that it does.'' Israel's killing of Dr. Rantisi and a similar attack that took the life of the Hamas founder, Sheik Ahmed Yassin, on March 22, are the two most dramatic examples of the sustained Israeli offensive against the group. While the Israeli military actions have generated retaliatory bombings in the past, the overall number of Palestinian attacks has dropped substantially since peaking in the spring of 2002. The two recent killings have given Hamas and the other Palestinians a powerful motivation to attack, and the coming weeks should indicate the residual strength of Hamas and the ability of the Israeli security forces to thwart the group. Almost a month ago, Dr. Rantisi spoke at rallies after Sheik Yassin's death and promised a stepped up bombing campaign. But the only Palestinian bombing since then was a suicide attack on Saturday afternoon at an industrial park on the northern edge of Gaza that killed an Israeli border policeman and wounded three security workers. Even that attack, claimed by Hamas and Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades, another militant Palestinian group, appeared to reflect the present limitations. Israel's web of restrictions has made it increasingly difficult for the groups to sneak bombers into Israeli cities, and most of the recent attacks have been on a relatively small scale and limited largely to the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. ''There is no doubt that the assassinations of Rantisi and Sheik Yassin are losses to the Hamas movement,'' Ahmed Baher, another Hamas leader in Gaza, said at the funeral, ''But the response will come at a suitable time. Holy war will continue. All we need is patience.'' The Palestinian uprising launched in September 2000 has brought the Palestinians much misery. But when asked how the Palestinians should respond to the recent killings, mourners were unanimous in calling for all-out attacks. Red-eyed supporters of Dr. Rantisi interred him and used their hands to cover him with the sandy soil in the Sheik Radwan cemetery, not far from where Sheik Yassin was buried. Palestinian youths who could not get near the grave site climbed atop a nearby Palestinian security building, reduced to a shell by an Israeli airstrike, for a better view. Israel, meanwhile, says that the threat of violence remains extremely high, and that at any given time the security forces have three or four dozen warnings about possible attacks. Still, Hamas and other factions have been forced to operate differently than they had before the killings of Sheik Yassin and Dr. Rantisi. Hamas leaders used to be fixtures at the group's regular rallies. On Sunday, Hamas said it had selected a new Gaza leader, but refused to divulge the name for fear that the person would be placed at the top of Israel's target list. Mahmoud Zahar, one of those mentioned as the possible successor to Dr. Rantisi,

Carbon-neutral is the new gold. Nowadays, more and more companies pledge to become carbon neutral, net-zero or even climate positive. With global giants like Google, who claims that they are the first company to eliminate its carbon legacy, we may ask: how is it possible? Terms like “carbon-neutrality”, “net-zero” or “climate positive” have been around for a while, but for the last couple of years, small startups to global corporations have integrated them, mainly for mainstream marketing purposes. The diversity of phrases and the lack of clarity around them can mislead well-intentioned consumers. However, communicating transparently about them may encourage businesses to be more proactive. According to the targets set by the Paris Climate Agreement, there are only 29 years remaining to reach global net-zero emissions. So let’s understand better what the lingo around carbon neutrality is. To verify if a company is willing to reduce or even erase their carbon footprint when they are claiming carbon-neutrality, it is vital to comprehend these terms. To start, let’s deep dive into the core of carbon-neutrality: - Carbon neutral means that any CO2 released into the atmosphere from a company’s activities is balanced by an equivalent amount being removed. - Climate positive means that activity goes beyond achieving net-zero carbon emissions to create an environmental benefit by removing additional carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. - Carbon negative means the same thing as “climate positive.” - Carbon positive is how organisations describe climate positive and carbon negative. It’s mainly a marketing term, and understandably confusing–we generally avoid it. - Climate Neutral refers to reducing all GHG to the point of zero while eliminating all other negative environmental impacts that an organisation may cause. - Net-Zero carbon emissions mean that an activity releases net-zero carbon emissions into the atmosphere. - Net-Zero emissions balance the whole amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) released and the amount removed from the atmosphere. What is carbon-neutrality? Carbon neutral was the New Oxford American Dictionary‘s word of the year in 2006 – and since then, has been catapulted into the mainstream world. By definition, carbon-neutral (or carbon neutrality) is the balance between emitting carbon and absorbing carbon emissions from carbon sinks. Or simply, eliminate all carbon emissions altogether. Carbon sinks are any systems that absorb more carbon than they emit, such as forests, soils and oceans. According to the European Union Commission, natural sinks remove between 9.5 and 11 Gt of CO2 per year. To date, no artificial carbon sinks can remove carbon from the atmosphere on the necessary scale to fight global warming. Hence, to become carbon-neutral, companies have two options: reducing drastically their carbon emissions to net-zero or balancing their emissions through offsetting and the purchase of carbon credits. What does it mean to become carbon-neutral? Becoming carbon neutral is the new mantra of Wall Street and worldwide companies, but how to make it happen? As experts in the field, Plan A advises companies to apply a carbon accounting framework to the initiative they are trying to address. First, we advise you to calculate your company’s carbon footprint, which you can do easily with our Carbon Management software. Once the total carbon footprint is calculated, you will have a better sense of how much your company’s need to counteract. Then, reduce carbon emissions by analysing the worst carbon indicators – where your company emit the most and acting upon it. Finally, offset what’s left. It is impossible to generate zero-carbon emissions; therefore, offsetting is a viable approach to become carbon-neutral. Offsetting your carbon emissions sends a strong message to your community, that you are committed to paving the way for a sustainable future. The funds from neutralising your carbon footprint will be providing low-carbon technology to communities most at risk of the impacts of climate change. However, you have to ensure that the offsetting project is transparent and involves local communities in the process. Author: Tara Bernoville

"Visit the Latin Bridge aka Latinska ćuprija" Sarajevo Things to Do Tip by gordonilla Sarajevo Things to Do: 501 reviews and 1,068 photos Sadly, we reached the bridge well after dark; so we did not see it in it's full glory of daylight. It is an Ottoman bridge, and the term Latin comes as it crosses the river Mljacka into a catholic area of the old city. It is also famous for being the location of the assassination of the Archduke Franz-Ferdinand by Gavrilo Princip of the Black Hand and thus the start of a some what complicated series of Royal and Imperial family alliances across Europe which resulted in the start of the Great War of 1914-1918. The war to end all wars, was not in fact the last war - and we continue to see wars across the world.

What is it about Roy Keane and mistimed tackles? There was the infamous one on Alf-Inge Haaland for which Keane received a three-match ban and a fine. "I lunged for the ball but mistimed the tackle," Roy explained. "I f*****g hit him hard…" This week, Roy chose to sarcastically complain about his suspicion that Everton boss Roberto Martinez has been over-cautious in withholding James McCarthy and Seamus Coleman from international duty citing ill-founded injury fears. His remarks drew a curt dismissal from Everton chairman Bill Kenwright who said of Keane: "He does say some stupid things." While Keane's concerns might warrant scrutiny, Roy chose to speak out following an international weekend when a number of high profile players, Manchester United's David De Gea, Michael Carrick and Daley Blind, Real Madrid's Luka Modric and Sunderland's Steven Fletcher, picked up worrying injuries while away from their clubs. Not for the first time, Roy's enthusiasm and timing let him down. In 1905, the All Blacks first played Scotland. The match was in Murrayfield and New Zealand won. 109 years and 30 matches later, Scotland are still looking for a win. Ireland first played Australia in 1927, losing a low scoring game. Since then Ireland have won nine of 31 games, with one draw. Despite their first loss under Michael Cheika on Saturday against France, Australia are showing signs of settling into the coach's new system which he's described as "aggressive and front-foot." Expect Sunday's match at the Aviva to be a thriller. "I'm prepared to let a few in if it means getting our system rock solid," Cheika said before the France match. It's the most lucrative deal in US sport and it's rocked baseball. NL Silver Slugger Award recipient Giancarlo Stanton (25) has become the ultimate golden slugger with the 13-year contract, worth €260.2 million, he's signed with Major League Baseball team Miami Marlins. That works out at €20 million a season, €121,000 per game, for the power hitter. Fans are anticipating an exciting race in Abu Dhabi this weekend with Mercedes team-mates Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg battling it out for the Drivers' Championship. But there's another major F1 drama in play behind the scenes. With 70% of €876m F1 revenue going to the top five teams, the test for the others, notably Caterham and Marussia, is survival.

THE FUTURE BELONGS TO SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS The buildings in the E.U. produce 36% of C02 emissions, are responsible for 40% of energy consumption and 50% of material extractions. Legislative developments at the European level will be stormy in 2023, estimates the World Council of Sustainable Buildings. The way we construct our buildings in the European Union is going to change drastically in the coming years. The green agreement was the trigger for a series of legislative changes, which will aim not only to reduce the energy consumption of buildings, but also their carbon footprint in general, from the choice of materials and the type of construction, until the service life and the end of the life of the building. And while the countries of the European North are already taking decisive steps in this direction, in Greece the debate is just beginning, with only 70 certified sustainable buildings across the country. The Sustainable Buildings Council Greece5 (SBC Greece, an independent non-profit organization) yesterday organized a seminar on developments in this emerging sector, with the aim of provoking public debate. “The buildings in the E.U. produce 36% of C02 emissions, are responsible for 40% of energy consumption and 50% of material extractions. That is why the building construction sector has been included in the green deal and developments have been ongoing ever since,” said Audrey Nugent, director at the World Sustainable Building Council. “The challenge in Europe is twofold, because in addition to new construction there is a very large stock of old buildings. In order to achieve the European goals for the climate, we must accelerate the renovation rates, but also create policies for the “footprint” of the building throughout its lifetime (building carbon life). As Ms. Nugent mentioned, legislative developments at the European level will be stormy in 2023, as the Commission simultaneously promotes various policies, such as the revision of the directives on the energy performance of buildings and on the management of construction waste, the European taxonomy (EU Taxonomy), a new regulation on manufactured products. “In the E.U. the “turn” to sustainable building construction is an absolute priority”, says Alexandros Athanassoulas, president of the Council of Sustainable Buildings of Greece. “In Greece we have made progress in this direction, e.g. with our intervention, a provision was included in the new building regulation for the premium of 10% of the building factor of the buildings that will be certified according to international standards. In general, however, the interventions of the State are directed only at the energy upgrading of buildings. As a result, we are far behind – in 2021 only 70 buildings in Greece were certified as sustainable according to Leed or Breeam. The change concerns not only the institutional part but also the mentality and must come as a demand, not only of developers and buyers (because they will have access to financing) but also of users, i.e. society”. According to Pantelis Levantis, member of the board of directors of the same organization, it is a myth that sustainable buildings are more expensive. “In the life cycle of the building, it is the wisest choice. They are more technically sound buildings than conventional ones, which save energy, have fewer emissions, and offer better conditions to their users.”

● It ensures the continuous, smooth and efficient running of the engine without any interruption. ● It possesses good combustion and atomization capabilities. ● Excellent suction capabilities. Fuel Pumps can move fuel, such as diesel, petrol or another type of fuel, from one place to another, from one storage container into another or, more frequently, from a storage container into a vehicle via the dispensing nozzle, Many fuel transfer pumps are either mains or battery powered, for larger or heavily used refueling stations, but hand pumps are available and can be a good solution for certain types of use. A fuel transfer pump simply transfers fuel either from one tank to another, or from a container to a nozzle so it can be dispensed into a vehicle. A pump can also be used to transfer fuel from one car to another, or even to extract fuel from a vehicle & back into a storage container. Diesel transfer pump uses to fuel all types of diesel automobiles, including plant equipment, truck vehicles, cars, coaches, trucks, and buses, etc. Diesel transfer pump presents in the fueling system that allows fuel to move from one location to the desired location. These pumps also use in various industries and adaptable applications. The normal application temperature of fuel transfer pump is within 250 degrees. If you need to transport high temperature medium, you can customize the suitable temperature can be within 350 degrees high temperature fuel transfer pump. You can also customize the heat preservation jacket for the transmission of high temperature medium heat preservation. Fuel transfer pump is suitable for conveying materials: lubricating oil or other liquid similar to lubricating oil with no solid particles or fibers, no corrosion, temperature not higher than 250℃, viscosity of 5×10 ~ 1.5×10m/s(5-1500CST).Oil pump flow rate: 1-58 cubic meters/hour. High temperature pump is suitable for conveying high temperature, no impurity medium.

Former Tempest family home The Garden House placed up for sale One of Dundalk’s most iconic houses has been placed up for sale. The Garden House on Mill Street is on the market through local estate agents REA Gunne Property for €295,000. The four bed Victorian style house has been recently refurbished to the highest of standards and is sure to attract plenty of interest. The house belonged to the Tempest family, founders of Dundalgan Press, for many years before being sold in 2006. At the time the local authority was encouraged to buy it and open the garden, which contains a number of rare plants, to the public but this never transpired. In recent years Thomas Agnew has sought to build houses on the site. He was granted planning permission by Louth County Council to demolish The Garden House in 2007 and build 15 houses in its place but this decision was overturned by An Bord Pleanála. He also sought permission to build 11 homes there a few years later but this was refused by the council in 2009. Four houses have since been granted planning on lands adjacent to the property. For further details on The Garden House check out the REA Gunne Property website here.

Governor Eric J. Holcomb Monday signed Executive Order 22-13, suspending certain regulations in order to minimize the disruption of adequate fuel supply to Hoosiers and motorists in surrounding states after an electrical fire at the BP Whiting refinery on Aug. 24, which caused it to shut down production. The order temporarily waives regulations regarding vapor pressure requirements on fuel standards and lifts restrictions on hours of service relating to motor carriers and drivers transporting fuels. The temporary suspensions are meant to expedite the refining and transporting of fuel through Indiana. The refinery provided up to 25 percent of the refined fuel used in Indiana before the fire temporarily shuttered it. Click HERE to view the executive order.

Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) Information Metal oxide varistors (MOV) are semiconductors that protect electronic components and systems from transient voltages. Construction and Operation These clamping devices contain a matrix of zinc oxide grains sandwiched between two metal plates which serve as electrodes. The boundaries between grains form diode junctions which allow current to flow in only one direction. Applying low or moderate voltages causes reverse leakage through the diode junctions and a small flow of current. Higher voltages trigger the avalanche effect and cause the diode junctions to break down. As a rule, metal oxide varistors exhibit highly non-linear current-voltage characteristics. They have high resistance at low voltages and a low resistance at high voltages. Unlike transient voltage suppression (TVS) diodes, however, metal oxide varistors degrade as they absorb repeated transients. Performance specifications for metal oxide varistors (MOV) include: Maximum working voltage Maximum clamping voltage Maximum working voltage is the maximum steady-state, direct current (DC) voltage where the typical leakage current is less than a specified value. Maximum clamping voltage is the maximum peak voltage measured across the device with a specific pulse current and waveform. Surge shift is the change in voltage after the application of the surge current. Energy absorption is the maximum amount of energy that can be dissipated with a specified waveform without damage. Additional specifications for metal oxide varistors include response time and maximum alternating current (AC) root mean square (RMS) voltage. The maximum AC RMS voltage is the maximum continuous sinusoidal RMS voltage that may be applied. Form Factor and Applications Product specifications for metal oxide varistors (MOV) include mounting style, lead type, and application. Through hole technology (THT) mounts components on a printed circuit board (PCB) by inserting component leads through holes in the board and then soldering the leads in place on the opposite side of the board. Surface mount technology (SMT) adds components to a PCB by soldering component leads or terminals to the top surface of the board. There are three lead styles for metal oxide varistors: axial, radial, and lead-less. In terms of applications, some metal oxide varistors are designed for cell phones, digital cameras, personal digital assistants (PDA), MP3 players, and notebook computers. Others telecommunications devices, power supplies, data systems or power systems. Both types of MOVs provide fast response times, low working voltages, low capacitance, low leaking current, and low clamping voltage. IEC 61643-331 - Components for low-voltage surge protective devices - mov specification. MIL-PRF-83530 - General specification for metal-oxide varistors.

I happened to read two Westerns this last week, very different from each other in length, quality, and subject matter. The first was Spirit Warrior, by the Spur Award-Winning author G. Clifton Wisler. Not bad, although some may tire of the continual references to the “spirits” and “praying to the spirits.” The front cover of the mass market paperback (Zebra Books, 1986) has an interesting tag line that places the book (copyright 1986) in the pre-PC days of the 80s: “He was the tribe’s greatest warrior—except he was white!” I have to say that Wisler chose a great name for his protagonist—Metaha. By coincidence, I happened the same week to catch just a few minutes of a 1962 movie—Geronimo, starring the very white Chuck Connors, yes, the man better known as The Rifleman, one of the Westerns I enjoyed as a kid because Lucas McCain (Connors) was such a loving dad to his son. The Wikipedia entry on Chuck Connors notes that The Rifleman was “the first show ever to feature a widowed father raising a young child.” That series in black-and-white lasted for five years (from 1958-63). I loved the way Connors handled his customized Winchester rifle. None better! The other book was The Lonesome Gods by Louis L’Amour, a novel that surpasses Wisler’s in quality as well as length. Coming in at 452 pages in the mass market paperback (compared to Wisler’s 223) The Lonesome Gods is actually four or so novels in one, though most of the action relates in one way or the other to Johannes (“Hannes”) Verne, a six-year-old kid who has lost his mother a year before the action begins and who will lose his father near the end of a perilous trip to Southern California, this in the days when Los Angeles was just beginning to be a small town and when the Apache and Yuma tribes along the way were hostile. As in the Wisler book, the spirits play a part in The Lonesome Gods, as one can see from the title itself, but in a much less repetitive, much better integrated fashion. The one person most in touch with the ancients will be the young Hannes, whose coming-of-age story dominates much of the book. Hannes soon demonstrates unusual abilities as he makes friends with the Cahuilla, a more peaceful tribe, and faces numerous enemies, including his Spanish grandfather who wants him dead. L’Amour creates suspense by suggesting but not revealing the mysterious pasts of other important characters, most notably Miss Nesselrode, a woman whose success in business threatens the Californios (as the early settlers were called) and whose secrets endanger her life. For me, the weakest aspect of this lengthy novel is the romance between Hannes and Meghan Laurel, which leaves much to be desired! Apart from that, there’s a well-developed chase sequence, where Hannes tries to elude his merciless pursuers through some of the roughest terrain in the West. Throughout the book, no matter what is taking place, Hannes goes through an extended learning process, embodying his father’s message that “he who ceases to learn is already a half-dead man” (pp. 32-33 in the Bantam Books mass market paperback).

In light of the recent New York Times article regarding lead content found in cheap reusable shopping bags (e.g. 99-cent, non-woven polypropylene bags), we would like to address some common concerns and dispel rumors and misconceptions. Bags from Winn-Dixie, left, and Publix were found to contain lead. Image from Tampa Tribune (Cliff McBride) A brief summary of the issue - An investigation conducted by the Tampa Tribune found high levels of lead in a handful of cheap reusable bags. A similar stroy from USA Today reported dangerous levels of lead in bags sold by Walgreens, Safeway and Bloom. - These reports have generated massive media coverage, fueling lots of misconceptions regarding the safety of reusable bags in general, especially those made in China. - This issue comes down to the problems inherent in cheap reusable shopping bags, which we've been bringing to light for years. If you've purchased bags from us or recommended them to a friend, here are a few facts: - We have never carried the types of bags referred to in these reports (cheap reusable bags with printing on them). - Just because a bag is "Made in China" does not mean it contains lead or is in anyway unsafe. Many reputable brands we carry (including Envirosax, Flip & Tumble, BAGGU, ChicoBags and our reuseit line) manufacture bags in China using high-quality, safe materials. - At reuseit.com, you'll find safe, high-quality bags manufactured safely & responsibly all over the world. If you've purchased bags from us, you don't have anything to worry about. Our basic advice & learn more As always, be selective! Buy a handful of high-quality, "everyday" reusable bags that you will use for years and years - from a company you trust. That way, you'll know they're responsibly made, built to last and use high-quality materials (unlike cheap reusable bags). If you have any questions or concerns, contact us at email@example.com. Vincent Cobb - Founder, reusablebags.com and reuseit.com Update: This story recently resurfaced thanks to a report from the CCF uncovering unsafe levels of lead in cheap reusable shopping bags sold by Walgreens, CVS, Safeway and more.

JEDDHA (DNA)- Pakistan is most vulnerable to devastating impacts of climate change in the next 50 to 80 years, according to new research based on the latest generation of global climate models (CMIP6). Already among the countries most impacted by climate change, Pakistan needs to take “adaptation measures” to avert associated risks posed to Pakistan’s population, economy, water resources, agriculture and natural ecosystem, says a study. The study titled “Projections of Precipitation and Temperature over the South Asian Countries in CMIP6,” was conducted by Professor Mansour Almazroui and his team by using the supercomputer at King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The study shows that climate change has serious threats and adverse effects on Pakistan than any other country in the South Asian region and calls for urgent steps to be taken in order to prevent associated risks to the country’s socio-economy. Temperature is likely to increase by as much as 6℃over the northern regions of Pakistan in the next 80 years, says the study, putting these regions at “particularly high risk” to flooding from snow and glacier melting that would have severe repercussions for downstream habitats and livelihoods. Across the country, annual mean temperatures are likely to increase by nearly 5°C under a high emission scenario by the end of the 21st century, the study says, forecasting killer heat waves over the plains of Pakistan as a result. “Pakistan is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change and a large increase in projected annual mean temperature by the end of the 21st century could severely impact the agricultural sector that acts as the backbone of the country’s economy”, said Prof. Mansour Almazroui. Future temperature increase could also mean more climate incidents like extreme heat waves and drought-like conditions. There is also a possibility of increased rainfall over Pakistan, during both wintertime and the summer monsoon. “A large increase in the annual and seasonal mean temperature will cause glaciers in the northern areas of Pakistan to melt faster, which, in association with increased monsoon rainfall during summer season, could lead to enhanced flooding downstream that can affect the lives of millions of people living in this area”,said Prof. Mansour Almazroui. The findings, based on output from the latest generation of global climate model simulations(from the international Climate Model Intercomparison Project part 6 – CMIP6), provide baseline forecasts for the upcoming Assessment Report on Climate Change that is expected to be published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2022. These models are state-of-the-art expressions of the current scientific understanding of how the physical climate system works. The results show enhanced future warming (1-3℃) as compared to the previous generation of climate models (CMIP5),particularly in the heavily irrigated Indus basin.This is likely to have “alarming repercussions for agriculture, water reservoirs and livelihoods” in this region. The study furthermore projects increased winter rainfall over northern parts of Pakistan, including Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Kashmir, and increased summer rainfall over eastern and southern parts of Pakistan under all future scenarios. Moreover, severe flooding events in future summersare likely because of increased summer rainfall and enhanced glacier meltunder the warmer climate that is projected by the end of the 21st century. The projected climate change over Pakistan raises the prospect of more frequent natural hazards such as heat waves and floodingare likely to occur there over the next 50 to 80 years, the study warns.

As he did at Madison Square Garden in New York last December, Prince is now in Los Angeles performing a multi-night run at The Forum with his "Welcome 2 America" tour which I saw April 22nd.. On a large, lighted stage that was in the shape of the symbol when he was known as "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince", The Purple One made his entrance rising from the middle of the structure, wearing one of his over-the-top, trademark suits, where he performed the first song with all of the lights up. I was not familiar with this song, (it might have been "Welcome 2 America", the song that he opened the New York shows with) in fact, I didn't recognize the next three songs he performed as they were probably newer material but it could have also been because The Forum's sound system is so awful that it made the music sound muddy and unrecognizable. If this venue wants to continue booking music events, they really need to invest in an updated sound system. |Photo: Dean Decent| Prince soon arrived with a collection of his own hit songs; "When Doves Cry", "Cream", "Controversy (LP Version)" and "U Got The Look". He began playing on the piano, singing "How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore (LP Version)" when he is joined on stage by Alicia Keys where they perform a sizzling duet. Since Prince has become a Jehovah's Witness, he has stated that he will no longer perform any of sexually-oriented material but that didn't stop him from teasing the audience by playing musical snippets of "Darling Nikki" and Vanity 6's "Nasty Girl" but he just shook his head. After his third encore of a soaring version of "Purple Rain", the lights of the theater came up, so we chose to leave after having a hot, sweaty funky good time. It is entirely possible that Prince may have returned to the stage to play some more as people were staying put, screaming for more. Here are some of the nastier stuff I wish he had played: Dirty Mind - Prince (1980) Lady Cab Driver - Prince (1983) Erotic City - Prince (1983) Gett Off - Prince (1991)

In an effort to help the restaurant industry fight the bitter battle of survival due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI) has launched 'Rise For Restaurants, a platform to support its 6 lakh members and their employees. Through the initiative, diners can support restaurants by buying virtual cash worth Rs 1,000 at a flat 25 per cent discount from the restaurants across India that are registered on NRAI. The coupons can be redeemed in the future against dining bills at the respective restaurants. At the time of purchase, customers only have to pay Rs 250. This amount will contribute towards paying the wages and salaries of restaurant employees. The remaining Rs 500 is to be paid by the customer only when they dine at the restaurant. The virtual cash can be used within six months from the purchase date, with limitless purchases and no minimum expenditure amount, blackout dates or redemption conditions. Gauri Devidayal, NRAI Managing Committee Member and Partner, Food Matters India said: "This is the first of its kind programme created by the industry, for the industry. The NRAI has developed this entirely keeping in mind the current plight of its members and their employees. Yet, unlike any other platform offering gift vouchers etc, this is the only program which recognises the concern that customers may have regarding the future recovery of restaurants and therefore, only requests 25% of the virtual cash value upfront. We have no doubt that customers will come out to support their local favourites." Some of the restaurants that are already live on R4R program are - Barbeque Nation, Caf? Delhi Heights, Carl's Jr, Desi Vibes, Farzi Cafe, Indigo Deli, Mahabelly, Mamagoto, Monkey Bar, Olive Bar & Kitchen, Punjab Grill, Redmango, Social, The Beer Cafe, The Big Chill Cafe, The Sassy Spoon, The Table, Zen, amongst many others.

According to a new study published in The International Journal of Life Assessment, plant-based butter alternatives are much better than dairy butter when it comes to 18 environmental indicators. The results show that traditional dairy butter is 3.7 times more damaging to the environment than vegan butter. Researchers evaluated 18 environmental indicators, including key ingredient sourcing countries, production factory locations, packaging designs, and transportation. They compared dairy butter and cream to 212 plant-based butter spreads, 16 plant-based creams, and 40 dairy alternatives sold in 21 countries per 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds). The dairy butter emitted the carbon dioxide equivalent (CDE) of 26.7 pounds (12.1 kilograms) per kilogram of product, while the plant-based version emitted only 7.3 pounds (3.3 kilograms) CDE per kilogram. “This study confirmed that plant-based spreads had lower climate, water, and land impacts than butter, despite variability of product recipes, geographies, and influence of land use change,” the researchers said. According to the Oxford University study from 2018, the meat and dairy industries are responsible for 60 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Comments are loading...

Serious concern over the deteriorating security conditions at Al Hol camp: UN Shafaq News/ two UN officials expressed their serious concern over the deteriorating security conditions at Al Hol camp, in north-east Syria. In a joint statement, the UN Resident Coordinator and Humanitarian Coordinator for Syria, Imran Riza, and the Regional Humanitarian Coordinator for the Syria Crisis, Muhannad Hadi, have expressed serious concerns over the deteriorating security conditions at Al Hol camp, in the north-east. “Between 1 and 16 January, we received reports of the murders of 12 Syrian and Iraqi camp residents, including one woman Iraqi refugee. Another person was critically injured in a violent attack. These disturbing events indicate an increasingly untenable security environment at Al Hol.” The statement said. The two UN officials also stressed the "urgent need for durable solutions to be found for every person living in the camp". "The recent rise in violence... jeopardizes the ability for the UN and humanitarian partners to continue to safely deliver critical humanitarian assistance," the UN statement added. Held by Kurdish forces, Al-Hol camp -- Syria's biggest -- holds almost 62,000 people, of whom more than 80 percent are women and children, including Syrians, Iraqis and thousands from as far afield as Europe and Asia. The foreigners are families of “jihadists” from ISIS group, which seized swathes of Iraq and Syria in 2014. The Iraqi and Syrian residents of the camp largely fled subsequent fighting between ISIS and Kurdish forces.

Objective: Current guidelines recommend treating patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus with ACE inhibitors after the onset of microalbuminuria. Recent clinical trials have shown ACE inhibitors can affect the development of nephropathy when initiated prior to the onset of microalbuminuria. Our objective is to examine the cost effectiveness of treating adults aged over 20 years with an ACE inhibitor (captopril) immediately following diagnosis of type 1 diabetes versus treating them after the onset of microalbuminuria. Design: Using a semi-Markov model, we calculated four main outcome measures: lifetime direct medical costs (discounted), QALYs, cumulative incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and number of days of ESRD over a lifetime. Medical costs are in 1999 US dollars. Setting: All analyses were from the viewpoint of a single US payer responsible for all direct medical costs, including screening for microalbuminuria, ACE inhibitor treatment (captopril), management of major diabetic complications, and routine annual medical costs not specific to diabetes. Methods: We applied the model to a hypothetical cohort of 10 000 persons newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Distribution of sex and race/ethnicity within the cohort is representative of the general US population. Results: We estimated that the incremental cost of early use of captopril for the average adult with type 1 diabetes is $US27 143 per QALY. This level varies considerably with age and glycaemic level. When the age at onset of diabetes is 20 years and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) level is 9%, the cost-effectiveness ratio is $US13 814 per QALY. When the age at onset is 25 years and HbA1c level is 7%, the cost-effectiveness ratio is $US39 530 per QALY. Conclusion: This model, with its underlying assumptions and data, suggests that early treatment with captopril provides modest benefit at reasonable cost effectiveness, from the US single-payer perspective, in the prevention of ESRD compared with delaying treatment until diagnosis of microalbuminuria. Early treatment with other ACE inhibitors will provide similar cost effectiveness if they have equivalent efficacy, compliance and price per dose. Treatment may be considered among patients at age 20 years with new onset of type 1 diabetes. This conclusion is sensitive to the extent that ACE inhibitors delay onset of microalbuminuria. Other factors such as the patient’s age and glycaemic level must be considered when deciding to initiate early treatment.

A collision between a semi-truck and a passenger vehicle usually has more serious consequences than the typical collision between passenger vehicles. Although two cars colliding at high speed can cause severe injuries and even fatalities, heavy trucks hitting passenger vehicles have a significantly higher rate of these consequences. With highways in the Pittsburgh area and throughout Pennsylvania being congested with this large equipment, drivers of smaller vehicles are at risk of severe accidents. A Truck Accident Attorney can help when a catastrophic event occurs on the road by negotiating for substantial financial compensation that the injured persons deserve. Truck accidents occur for a broad range of reasons. Truckers commonly travel when they are too fatigued to travel safely. They may drive over the speed limit and too fast for weather conditions if they are running late and under pressure to deliver or pick up a load as scheduled. Equipment malfunctions also cause accidents. Tire blowouts can occur and spew large pieces of rubber debris toward passenger vehicles traveling in back. Loads on flatbed trailers that weren’t properly secured can result in disaster if any of the objects being transported come loose and fall onto the road. The weight of the average passenger vehicle doesn’t even reach 4,000 lbs, while a semi truck and its load can weigh up to 80,000 lbs. The smaller vehicle is no match for that big one, especially when they are moving along at highway speeds. When a Truck Accident Attorney begins work on this type of case, he or she addresses the complexities that are not typical of collisions between smaller vehicles. It must be determined whether the truck was being maintained and repaired as needed, and whether the driver had been disobeying federal regulations in regard to hours behind the wheel. The lawyer will want to learn whether company management uses strong-arm tactics such as threatening drivers with termination if they don’t drive more hours than legally allowed and fudge data in their logbooks. The work of accumulating evidence and negotiating with a large insurance company can be intense. A law firm such as Business Name is ready to help. You can also connect them on Facebook for more updates.

There's an Epic All-Female Spy Thriller in the Works, and We've Been Ready Several esteemed actresses are teaming up for an empowering spy movie that could potentially evolve into a franchise, and we are so ready. Deadline has exclusively learned the movie, titled 355, will star Jessica Chastain, Marion Cotillard, Penélope Cruz, Fan Bingbing, and Lupita Nyong'o. The five actresses recently appeared at the Cannes Film Festival together to publicly announce the thriller. Simon Kinberg, who recently made his directorial debut with X-Men: Dark Phoenix, is set to direct 355. As a star of the upcoming X-Men movie, Chastain worked closely with Kinberg and it was then that she pitched her idea. "I had so much fun working on The Help that I always wanted to do another female ensemble film," Chastain said. The actress then cited the Bourne and Mission: Impossible franchises as her inspiration but wondered why there aren't more female ensemble spy films apart from Charlie's Angels. "That got my wheels going, along with the idea of casting actresses from all over the world to truly make it an international project," she said. "I realized the incredible creative freedom we would have with that." It was important to Chastain that all the actresses appeared together at Cannes to signal the beginning of their "journey together," she said. That same day, Nyong'o shared a selfie of the star-studded group with the caption, "Get on board." Oh, we are.

A very experienced math instructor will guide you in learning Additional Mathematics for form 4 and form 5. Our class is purposely organised in small classes to ensure each student receives the needed attention. Our math program differs from other tuition centres. Each student that enrol with us will undergo regular assessment to determine the areas of weakness. The first 20 minutes of class will be allocated to address the weakness of each and every student using our well designed worksheets. After going through the improvement exercise, the actual delivery of math for classes in accordance with school level begins. Here your child gets an opportunity to improve in areas of weakness within themselves. Example : A form 4 student attends our classes. In our normal program, the contents of form 4 additional maths will be taught. Say, during our assessment we found out that the student has a major weakness in the four operation of maths, i.e. addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. What we will do is allow the student about 20 minutes to perform calculation on the weak areas before the actual delivery of form 4 contents. This means while learning materials in form 4, the students is also given the opportunity and materials to improve the cumulative weakness. Come discuss with us on how to package a learning plan for your children. Call me (Mr. Kong) at 019-4728768 via normal call or via WhatsApp.

WHAT’S IN SEASON Calypso Mangoes are the daughter of Kensington Pride and Sensation mangoes, combining the best parts of both these varieties. They’re available now due to mango trees flowering earlier than usual in the Australian top end. Calypso mangoes have firmer, smoother flesh than other varieties, and a smaller-sized seed ensures there is even more flesh on each mango. Here’s a few delicious ways to serve them: • Place chunks of mango onto skewers with raw prawns and grill on the barbecue. • Chop or slice mangoes and add them to a green leafy salad with toasted almonds or macadamias, and serve with a sweet, tangy dressing. • Puree mango flesh, spoon a little into a champagne glass, then top with chilled Prosecco. • Puree mango flesh with a little caster sugar and fresh lemon juice, then swirl through slightly softened vanilla ice-cream. Freeze until firm. Serve scoops with Amaretti biscuit or wafers. • Freeze chopped or sliced mango flesh to use later in smoothies, fruit salad or on top of granola and yoghurt.

It is interesting to me how that stability in life is often associated with the repetition of doing things over and over with little change over time. We follow those who have been before us without asking questions of “have things changed?” This seems to be happening in our educational system. A rut is defined as “a groove or furrow in a soft road, caused by wheels.” Within the Oregon Trail is a.5 mile preserved section of trail that has been formed by multiple wagon wheels, people, and animals following each other over and over. This rut into the sandstone ridge pictured above did not happen in a day or a week. It occurred over 25+ years of consistent usage. A rut is also referred to when we get into a predictable way of life. And not all ruts are bad – they often provide comfort and a sense of “sameness” when many other things around us are changing. But one area that seems to have fallen into a rut is education and it is a rut that must be examined within this twenty-first century. In a prior post I gave three three ideas to boost your summer as a teacher and one of those ideas was the proliferation of reading over the summer. Reading the viewpoints of others will challenge your assumptions and in many cases create worthy change. One of my favorite reads that I would recommend is Seth Godin’s Stop Stealing Dreams. It is free and it is worthy of your summer reading list. In my estimation, education has fallen into a terrible rut and it is primarily affecting our students, their thinking, and their dispositions in life. Over 150 years ago, education went through a dramatic shift in purpose during the Industrial Revolution. Families moved from an agrarian culture to one of city life and factories. And young children became the low-wage workers of the day while taking jobs away from hard-working adults. With compulsory education, education for that day and time necessitated that workers be obedient and compliant, to be segregated by age, to sit in rows and learn how to go back into factory life where one just did as he or she was told. Everything from that time has changed except much of what we do in our schools. Kids are still divided by age and grade, students still sit in rows and columns, and there is high expectation just to be obedient and compliant. Students learn in solo and are tested in isolation. Lectures are primarily one way. The problem is that we do not live in the Industrial Revolution anymore; we live in a connection economy, where connecting people and ideas are paramount. Godin reminds… In the pre-connected world, information was scarce, and hoarding it was smart. Information needed to be processed in isolation, by individuals. After school, you were on your own. In the connected world, all of that scarcity is replaced by abundance—an abundance of information, networks, and interactions. Do you see my point? The needs of our students have changed, yet our methodologies and structure too much resemble an outdated model of the past. And we as teachers should feel empowered to create change in our classrooms and prepare our students to create change once they leave our classrooms. Create your own Education Revolution. Community Input: Do you think education is in a rut? Why or why not?

An underwater electrosensor for identifying objects of similar volume and aspect ratio using convolutional neural network MetadataShow full item record © 2017 IEEE. Underwater electrosense is bio-inspired by weakly electric fishes that use an electric field to see the objects in the water. Current studies on engineering electrosense focus on designing sophisticated sensors and algorithms for emulating biological functions including localization and identification. This work aimed to develop a planar sensor equipped with a dense electrode array that is capable of providing accurate and dense data for identifying objects of similar volume and aspect ratio, which has been a challenge in underwater sensing. After sensor design and implementation were presented, convolutional neural networks (CNN), which are widely used in digital image recognition, was trained using both simulation and experimental data. In the simulation, the overall success rate on identifying the sphere, cube, and rod is 92.6% by a 28 × 28 electrode array. In the preliminary experimental tests, a sensor with 16 × 16 electrode array achieved an overall success rate of 90.4% on identifying a sphere and a rod.

Russian cyberspy arrested in treason investigation A cybersecurity chief from Russia’s FSB spy agency has been arrested as part of a treason inquiry. Sergei Mikhailov, a department head at the Federal Security Service’s information security centre, was taken into custody last month, the Kommersant newspaper reported. The accusation involves an employee of the centre receiving money from a foreign organisation and could relate to espionage or a handover of state secrets. Ruslan Stoyanov, a manager from Kaspersky Lab, the Russian company that sells cyberprotection and anti-virus software, was held at the same time in connection with the case. Investigators are examining links between the FSB unit and private contractors that it hired to help investigate cybercrime, Kommersant said. Multiple sources told the newspaper that a criminal case had been opened on

Saudi Arabia is developing an integrated strategy to boost exports to China by facilitating obstacles to exporters, in order to expand the reach of Saudi products to the Asian country and increase the volume of trade exchange, Bandar Alkhorayef, Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources, revealed. China is a target market for the Kingdom. Chinese companies show increasing interest in investment in the Kingdom, he added in an interview with Asharq Business. Technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and mining are on top of the sectors, which target to attract Chinese investments, Alkhorayef said, pointing to the agreements concluded with China under the Saudi National Transport and Logistics Strategy. In Shanghai, the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources held meetings with several Chinese investors to present available investment opportunities in the Saudi industrial and mining sector, the goals of the national industrial strategy.

National Weather Service Glossary This glossary contains information on more than 2000 terms, phrases and abbreviations used by the NWS. Many of these terms and abbreviations are used by NWS forecasters to communicate between each other and have been in use for many years and before many NWS products were directly available to the public. It is the purpose of this glossary to aid the general public in better understanding NWS products. You can either type in the word you are looking for in the box below or browse by letter. Browse by letter: - Generally, transport of heat and moisture by the movement of a fluid. In meteorology, the term is used specifically to describe vertical transport of heat and moisture in the atmosphere, especially by updrafts and downdrafts in an unstable atmosphere. The terms "convection" and "thunderstorms" often are used interchangeably, although thunderstorms are only one form of convection. Cbs, towering cumulus clouds, and ACCAS clouds all are visible forms of convection. However, convection is not always made visible by clouds. Convection which occurs without cloud formation is called dry convection, while the visible convection processes referred to above are forms of moist convection.

Kelly Wolin and Sophia Brindisi spark offense, and Kylie Cadogan and Karly Van Leer shine on defense for L-S girls lacrosse in a 13-10 scrimmage loss to Foxboro. The Lincoln-Sudbury girls lacrosse team traveled to Foxboro last Thursday to play the 15th ranked team in the state. Early goals by freshman standout Sophia Brindisi (4 goals) and senior Kelly Wolin (2 goals, 4 assists) tied the game at 2-2 and it looked as if L-S would have a strong first half, but Foxboro went on to score eight consecutive goals, taking a 10-2 halftime lead. Freshman Goalkeeper Catrina Tobin had several key saves and defenders Kylie Cadogan and Karly Van Leer displayed keen anticipation, picking off several Foxboro passes and winning ground balls to give L-S a few more attempts to score before the half. Several offensive L-S turnovers and a struggle to win the draw plagued the Warriors. The Warriors came out strong in the second half as sophomore Caroline Davis and senior captain Izzy Ross won several key draws, giving L-S critical possession to start their comeback. Wolin was able to find sophomore Maizy Veitch, who rocketed a shot past the Foxboro goalie and then a downfield pass to Davis (the first of her two goals), who converted in front of the net. With time ticking down, senior captain Emma Hodges secured a draw control and blistered down the field and ripped a shot to get the score to 12-8. In the last few minutes, Wolin found Brindisi twice in front of the net, to close the gap, but time ran out on L-S despite outscoring Foxboro 8-3 in the second half. The Warriors will be on the road for their first four games of the season, but will host Wellesley on Saturday, April at 11 a.m. and Reading on Tuesday, April 17 at 4 p.m. at L-S.

Theoretical calculations based on real topography of the maximum deep-water flow through the Jungfern Passage A method for theoretically calculating the maximum transport through a strait, using the actual topography, is presented. The study is conducted within the framework of rotating hydraulics. The results are used for estimating the amount of North Atlantic Deep Water flowing through the Jungfern Passage into the Caribbean Sea. These appraisals are compared with previous theoretical estimates, for which a rectangular bottom profile has been used, and with transport calculations based on observations.

Health Care Needs Accountable Providers and Informed Patients The system is fraught with overspending. Fixing that problem requires providers to respond to market incentives and for patients to become more knowledgeable. Most of the focus of the Affordable Care Act is on expanding insurance coverage and defining how insurance companies provide insurance to individual purchasers. These are important issues, but the real challenge for health care is to change the dynamics that have led to such unsustainable spending growth over the last several decades. The spending problem has arisen because of a lack of accountability and responsibility by both health care providers and consumers. It's way too early to declare "success," or even to be sure the progress to date is sustainable -- but there has been some progress. For institutional providers, most hospitals and other institutional providers have moved away from payments based on the number of days a person spends in a hospital or on the individual services provided during a hospital stay. Almost three decades ago, Medicare moved to a payment system that pays hospitals a single amount for an inpatient stay based on the diagnosis of the patient at discharge. Many private-sector payers have followed Medicare's lead and adopted similar systems of reimbursement. About 15 years ago, Medicare expanded the concept of a single payment for services provided during an encounter to home care, outpatient hospital care, and nursing home care. Paying for a single stay or episode of care with a single payment encourages hospitals and other institutional providers to become more efficient in providing care during the hospital stay or home care episode, but it does not necessarily lower overall health care costs. In fact, the current system could be regarded as encouraging re-admissions, since it allows the institution to receive additional payments for treating the same problem. Because of such concerns, Medicare is starting a program that will penalize hospitals that readmit patients with certain diagnoses within a short period of time. For physicians, reimbursement incentives have been particularly perverse. Medicare adopted a detailed fee schedule two decades ago, which requires physicians to bill on the basis of thousands of procedure codes -- all of which make it very hard to assess whether a physician is providing good-quality or efficient care in treating a patient. In the 1990s, Medicare adopted a strategy to keep the growth of payments to less than or equal to the growth of the economy. This led to increasing physician payments per procedure at substantially less than the growth in inflation over the last decade. Even with the small increases in payments per procedure, though, the amount Medicare has spent for physician services has grown much faster than the rate of inflation of the economy, because the volume and mixture of services provided by physicians has changed. For patients, to date most of the pressure to slow spending has been placed on institutional providers and clinicians. This has been especially true for Medicare. While Medicare doesn't cover all of the costs of acute care and only a limited amount of long-term care, most seniors have coverage that augments the acute care costs not covered by Medicare -- coverage that is sometimes provided by their employers for retirees, purchased individually or, for those who have limited incomes, supplemented by Medicaid. This has tended to make seniors less concerned about both costs and quality differences in the care they receive. Until relatively recently, few employers offered choices in benefit plans or different benefit designs within plans. Employees have also regarded the amount that employers spend as the employers' money (rather than money that could be used for higher wages or other benefits) and have typically not sought out information about the benefits being offered or opportunities to lower their costs. Current tax laws encourage this attitude. Some employers have started to become more active in seeking out plans that encourage the use of lower cost providers or rewarding employees who engage in healthy lifestyles -- trying to help to change the passive behavior on the part of many employees. Just as the causes of overspending in health care are varied and complex, so are the solutions. Institutional providers and clinicians need to be provided with better information about the effectiveness of alternative treatments and encouraged to provide clinically optimal, efficient care to their patients. That means rewarding clinicians who work together as a team and allowing them to share in the savings and improved care that can result. This is the rationale for Accountable Care Organizations and various changes in how institutional providers and clinicians will be reimbursed under various Medicare pilot programs. In the past, getting even successful pilot and demonstration projects to become part of Medicare has not been easy. With some 80 million baby boomers starting to retire, however, we can't afford another round of wasted opportunities. Employers can and should continue to offer plan choices that encourage employees to choose more efficient and effective providers and not pay more for more costly plans as they sometimes have in the past. Rewarding healthy lifestyles and making it easier for employees to avail themselves of these opportunities is also important. Consumers and patients need to become more involved in their own health -- they need to know their plan options and what they cost, have a reason to care, and be rewarded to adopt healthier lifestyles. That

Discover how disruptive tech trends changing content consumption, entertainment, engaging consumers and consumer behavior. In a global pandemic, brands have been exploring numerous ways to engage and entertain consumers. To stand out from the crowd, brands, business and organisations must understand who their audiences are and what drive their interests. The Snapchat Generation is driving new behaviors and values that are changing the world today. According to 2020 GroupSolver US study commissioned by Snap Inc. 82% of Snapchatters believe they have a personal responsibility to create the change they want to see in the world. According to 2020 GroupSolver UAE study commissioned by Snap Inc. More than half of Emirati Snapchatters agree they’re more likely to buy from brands that support their local community. According to 2020 GroupSolver DE study commissioned by Snap Inc. More than half of German Snapchatters believe they have a personal responsibility to create the change they want to see in the world. According to 2020 NRG US Study commissioned by Snap Inc. 75% of Snapchatters say that vertical video is more personal and immersive. “This generation is different in a lot of really important ways when it comes to how they think about their role in society, how they think about fairness, how they think about activism, how they think about culture and engagement and equality,” said Kenny Mitchell, CMO of Snap Inc. “I think brands will need to be mindful of how they engage with [the Snapchat Generation], knowing some of their behaviors and some of their beliefs.” Voting/Survey help brands to create engagement and content opportunity. Snapchat has done this by launching a program to help more than 1.3 minion people register to vote through the platform and highlighting the unique experiences of Black Americans. “We’ve created content for this generation that wants to improve the world, and we’ve given them tools right in the app,” said Kenny Mitchell TikTok video-sharing platform approach toward promoting user-generated content boosts its staying power. This experience offers users the new opportunity to create content that is interesting to themselves, engages diverse perspectives and talent, and keeps up in real time with trends and current events. TikTok star and actress Addison Rae added, “The ability to get real-time input is very helpful as someone that is on a platform catering to people that are watching.. It’s interesting to be able to see that [data] so quickly and efficiently.” The use of user-generated content has been prominent in the efforts of marketing online. A good reason for this may be that 86% of users say authenticity is important when deciding which brands they support, and 60% believe user-generated content is not only the most authentic form of content, but also the most influential when making purchasing decisions. Starbucks with their "White Cup Contest" campaign where customers competed to create the best doodle on their cups. "Share a Coke" by Coca-Cola campaign in which customers uploaded images of themselves with bottles to social media attributed to a two percent increase in revenue. “The job of the advertiser and the marketer is going to change from selling things to more engaging them and entertaining them, and keeping the consumer connected to their brand,” Carter said. “They now have to figure out how to connect with consumers in ways that weren’t thought about 10 or 15 years ago.” Even in vehicle technology, with GM, marketing has had to evolve to just a presentation style reveal of cars.

The group, known as Reclaim the Streets, says the blockade is to enforce the advice given to motorists by the Department of the Environment to leave their cars at home and use public transport. Rising levels of traffic fumes and the strong sunlight have combined in recent weeks to produce a noxious cocktail of irritant gases. Ozone, which can trigger asthma attacks and damage crops, has proved to be a particular problem. A spokesman for the group said the event "is not about blockading the traffic", but about raising awareness of the increasing levels of pollution. "The blockade is planned to highlight the dangers from smog and to ask drivers to think again about bringing their cars into London." He said the group hoped that those caught in the ensuing jams will understand the reasons for blocking the traffic. "It may frustrate them in the short term, but in the long term the public has shown its approval of actions designed to improve the environment and clean-up urban spaces." The group wants to see an increase in the numbers of people walking and cycling and their shift away from the private car and into cheap, or free public transport. Reclaim the Streets has mounted several major actions in London in recent months. Camden High Street and Upper Street in Islington, both north London, have been blocked and turned into giant open air street parties in protest against what they claim to be the tyranny of the motor vehicle. Today's action is part of an expanding campaign in the run-up to next year's centenary of the motor car. Another protest is to be held in Birmingham tomorrow.Reuse content

This paper presents a novel approach to acoustic model adaptation of a recognizer for non-native spontaneous speech in the context of recognizing candidates’ responses in a test of spoken English. Instead of collecting and then transcribing spontaneous speech data, a read speech corpus is created where non-native speakers of English read English sentences of different degrees of pronunciation difficulty with respect to their native language. The motivation for this approach is (1) to save time and cost associated with transcribing spontaneous speech, and (2) to allow for a targeted training of the recognizer, focusing particularly on those phoneme environments which are difficult to pronounce correctly by non-native speakers and hence have a higher likelihood of being misrecognized. As a criterion for selecting the sentences to be read, we develop a novel score, the “phonetic challenge score”, consisting of a measure for native language-specific difficulties described in the second-language acquisition literature and also of a statistical measure based on the cross-entropy between phoneme sequences of the native language and English. We collected about 23,000 read sentences from 200 speakers in four language groups: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish. We used this data for acoustic model adaptation of a spontaneous speech recognizer and compared recognition performance between the unadapted baseline and the system after adaptation on a held-out set from the English test responses data set. The results show that using this targeted read speech material for acoustic model adaptation does reduce the word error rate significantly for two of four language groups of the spontaneous speech test set, while changes of the two other language groups are not significant.

The Caucasus is magnificent and fascinating, far and near, it has a rich history but also a lively geopolitical situation. All this makes us want to go there for tourism. The Caucasus has recently become an increasingly interesting destination for Polish tourists. The main reason for this is the European aspirations of Georgia, which has become a gateway to the Caucasus for many Poles through its search for allies among the countries of the Western world and its openness to tourism. Personally, I particularly recommend trekking in Georgia and Armenia. Thanks to direct plane connections from Poland, you can get to Tbilisi, Kutaisi, Batumi or Yerevan after about 3.5 hours. This is a time comparable to flying to Scotland or Portugal. Georgia offers a whole spectrum of attractions to the trustees. From the country’s history, dating back to antiquity, to the modern geopolitical issues of the region, which are of great interest, as well as magnificent landscapes and a rapidly developing tourist infrastructure. Georgia’s northern border runs along the ridge of the Greater Caucasus. Along it are beautiful lands far from civilization such as: – Tushetia with a fascinating trekking route from Omalo to Shatilia – Kazbek – not the highest but the most popular peak in Georgia – Gudauri – the ski capital of Georgia – South Ossetia – a region that does not recognize the sovereignty of Tbilisi – Svaneti – a magnificent high-mountain region with the towns of Mestia and Ushguli and Georgia’s highest peak – Mt. Shkhara 5068 m above sea level. – Abkhazia – a region that does not recognize the sovereignty of Tbilisi. Kakheti, on the other hand, is a famous region in western Georgia from which great wines come, with vineyards intertwined with views of high mountains and semi-desert landscapes. One of the coastal regions is Adjaria. Its capital is Batumi, known from the song of the Filipinas about tea fields. Here the hills of the Lesser Caucasus, overgrown with subtropical vegetation, almost enter the Black Sea. Those who have met Georgia will want to go further into the Transcaucasus. He will certainly go to Armenia, which, like Georgia, has a direct plane connection to Poland and does not require us to have a visa. Armenia is the first country in the world to adopt Christianity as a national religion. This took place in 301. Hence the numerous beautiful medieval monasteries scattered throughout its territory. Wherever there are Armenians there are also khachkars, or richly decorated stone crosses. There are thousands of them in Armenia, and new ones are being produced all the time. Armenia’s emblem includes Mount Ararat. It is clearly visible from many corners of the country including Yerevan but, interestingly, it is not on the territory of Armenia but Turkey. Over the centuries the territory of the Armenian state has changed, formerly the mountain was located in the center of Greater Armenia. Armenia is also famous for sites several thousand years old such as Karahunj and Ughtasar. Visiting Azerbaijan or Russia poses a bit more of a challenge for the Polish tourist due to the lack of direct flights to these countries, but also as a result of visa requirements.

Richard Fairbank, CEO of Capital One Financial Corp., made $19.2 million last year, more than Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s Lloyd Blankfein, as the heads of Main Street banks closed the Wall Street pay gap. The chiefs of the five largest regional lenders earned 74 cents in 2011 for every dollar awarded to the CEOs of the six biggest U.S. banks by assets, up from 38 cents in 2007, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The compensation spread has narrowed as the smaller firms, which have on average one-sixth the assets, provided better returns for investors. Mr. Fairbank's pay was second only to the $23 million awarded to JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s Jamie Dimon among leaders of the 11 biggest U.S. banks by assets. Jim Rohr, head of Pittsburgh-based PNC Financial Services Group Inc., the eighth-largest lender, made $8 million last year, more than the $7 million earned by Bank of America Corp.'s Brian Moynihan, who runs the nation's second-biggest bank. “It's like tortoise versus the hare,” said Joseph Sorrentino, a managing director at compensation consultant Steven Hall & Partners. “Wall Street firms are pushing the risk envelope, which in good years meant big payouts, but since the crisis has meant a lot less or no payouts.” CEO pay at regional lenders is climbing as the traditional banking business of taking deposits and making loans drives profit gains. At the same time, investment-banking and trading losses during the financial crisis, and volatility since then, have damped earnings and curbed compensation at some of the biggest firms. “You've had a handoff in terms of what's doing well,” said Scott Siefers, an analyst at Sandler O'Neill & Partners in New York. “Traditional banking, even though it's still a challenging environment, seems to be having an easier time.” The increase in pay for the CEOs of regional lenders comes amid protests over compensation policies at the biggest banks. Citigroup Inc. shareholders last month rejected a $15 million 2011 pay package for CEO Vikram Pandit, 55, after the company's stock fell 44% last year. While the vote isn't binding, the board will consult with shareholders “to understand their concerns,” said a spokeswoman for the firm. Mr. Pandit's proposed compensation is a “major disconnect” between performance and payout, said Frank Glassner, a San Francisco-based partner at Meridian Compensation Partners, an executive-pay consulting firm. Occupy Wall Street protesters demonstrated Tuesday outside the New York offices of Bank of America and the headquarters of Citigroup and JPMorgan to call attention to income disparity and the role of banks in the financial crisis. Mr. Fairbank's 2011 compensation at McLean, Va.-based Capital One, all of which was in the form of stock and options, climbed 7% from 2007. He hasn't received a salary or bonus since 1997. U.S. Bancorp's Richard Davis, 54, who runs the nation's seventh-largest lender, was awarded $10.2 million last year, a 52% jump from 2007, his first full year as CEO. Mr. Blankfein, 57, pulled in $12 million for his performance last year, an 82% drop from 2007. Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman, 53, was awarded $10.5 million, compared with predecessor John Mack's compensation of $41 million for 2006. Some Wall Street CEOs, including Messrs. Blankfein, Dimon and Mack, didn't take cash bonuses for 2008. Mr. Pandit received $1 in salary for 2010. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, which derive most of their revenue from trading and investment banking, each reported billions of dollars in losses after the housing market collapsed, and profit hasn't recovered fully to pre-crisis highs. Shares have fallen 42% and 74%, respectively, at the New York-based firms from the beginning of 2007 through Tuesday. Shares of Citigroup and Bank of America, which received the largest government bailouts among U.S. banks, have fallen more than 80% over the same period. U.S. Bancorp's Davis, meanwhile, hasn't reported a quarterly loss since becoming CEO at the end of 2006, and the drop in first-quarter profit for the Minneapolis-based bank followed eight consecutive gains. PNC's Mr. Rohr has booked one quarterly loss since the beginning of 2007. The average share-price decline for the five regional banks from the beginning of 2007 through the end of 2011 was 43%, compared with 62% for the six biggest banks. Last year, the regional banks fell 9.9% on average, compared with a 38% drop for the top six. The biggest regional banks rose an average of 27% this year through Tuesday, and the largest six banks
